Cover up.
Frosty rides are less so when you're pushing the pedals with a Giro Merino Winter Cap under your helmet. Classic styling and an Australian wool blend make this cap perfect for winter conditions, whether you're riding or not.
The cap is relatively light, so it's easy to toss in a pocket if you're unsure of the conditions, and its excellent fit and thin panels means it'll be comfortable under a helmet without bunching. The brim is large enough to block rain or the sun, while providing sufficient peripheral vision.
Merino wool naturally wicks perspiration, retains warmth when wet, and won't overheat. The Giro Merino Winter Cap comes in Small/Medium or Large X-Large and three colors; Heather Red/Black, Charcoal, and Black.

I love the little shade and it covers nicely the ears.
Nice wool material. Tried buying one for my girlfriend but they ran out and would not reorder.

Lockheed, BAE say they won't issue layoff notices if sequestration takes effect
Tuesday - 10/2/2012, 8:40am EDT
This story was updated at 10:30 a.m. to include comments from Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA) and 10:55 a.m. to include comments from BAE.
Lockheed Martin will not issue layoff notices in advance of the potential automatic, across-the-board cuts known as sequestration, set to take effect Jan. 2, 2013.
In July, Lockheed, the government's largest contractor, said it might issue conditional Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notices "to a substantial number of employees."
However, additional guidance last week from the Defense Department and the Office of Management and Budget convinced the company that any changes in funding would not take effect for several months after Jan. 2, according to the Lockheed memo.
BAE Systems, another large defense contractor, also stated it would not issue these warnings unless "specific information becomes available that certain company facilities may suffer mass layoffs due to sequestration," said a company spokesperson in an email to Federal News Radio.
OMB and DoD stated that agencies would be liable for sequestration-related costs, including legal fees and employee compensation costs, if contracts are terminated — as long as vendors do not issue the layoff notices.
The OMB and DoD memos echo a July guidance letter from the Labor Department stating federal contractors would not have to issue these notices because the potential layoffs from sequestration were still speculative.
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires employers of companies with 100 workers or more to give employees 60 days' notice before a plant closing or mass layoffs.
Sequestration is set to take effect Jan. 2 under the Budget Control Act passed last year, unless Congress can reach a deficit reduction deal. Half of the $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts over the next decade would hit DoD.
Congressional Republicans question guidance
House Armed Services Chairman Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA) said withholding the layoff notices would not prevent actual layoffs down the road.
"Notifications will not be sent to those at risk, even though we have heard directly from CEOs in hearings this summer that layoffs will occur," McKeon said in a statement. He also said, "[E]ven though the OMB directive purports to protect the defense industry against the costs of not complying with the WARN Act, they cannot guarantee how the courts would rule in such an action. Thus the President has pledged to compound the impact of sequestration by dedicating already scarce resources to cover needless court costs."
Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) wrote to Acting OMB Director Jeff Zients, questioning the administration's legal authority to issue the latest guidance.
"In particular, we are concerned about the authority of the executive branch to instruct private employers not to comply with federal law and to promise to pay the monetary judgments and litigation costs that arise out of the lawsuits that may follow," Grassley and Ayotte wrote in the letter. "Although the precise amounts of the judgments and costs are unknown, they could potentially reach tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars, all of which would be paid for with taxpayers' dollars.
Lockheed stated it would continue to work with government leaders to avoid sequestration.
"We remain firm in our conviction that the automatic and across-the-board budget reductions under sequestration are ineffective and inefficient public policy that will weaken our civil government operations, damage our national security, and adversely impact our industry," the Lockheed memo stated.
Federal News Radio's Jason Miller contributed to this story.

Initially developed under the Grailsumbrella and integrated back into Groovy 1.5, ExpandoMetaClass is a very handy way for changing the runtime behavior of your objects and classes, instead of writing full-blow MetaClass classes. Each time, we want to add / change several properties or methods of an existing type, there is too much of a repetition of Type.metaClass.xxx. Take for example this extract of a Unit manipulation DSL dealing with operator overloading:
The repetition, here, looks obvious. But with the ExpandoMetaClass DSL, we can streamline the code by regrouping the operators per type:
A metaClass() method takes a closure as single argument, containing the various definitions of the methods and properties, instead of repeating the Type.metaClass on each line. When there is just one method of a given name, use the pattern methodName
{ /* closure */ }, but when there are several, you should use the append operator and follow the patten methodName <<
{ /* closure */ }. Static methods can also be added through this mechanism, so instead of the classical approach:
You can now do:
Note here that you have to quote the statickeyword, to avoid this construct to look like a static initializer. For one off method addition, the classical approach is obviously more concise, but when you have several methods to add, the EMC DSL makes sense.
The usual approach for adding properties to existing classes through ExpandoMetaClass is to add a getter and a setter as methods. For instance, say you want to add a method that counts the number of words in a text file, you could try this:
When there is some logic inside the getter, this is certainly the best approach, but when you just want to have new properties holding simple values, through the ExpandoMetaClass DSL, it is possible to define them. In the following example, a lastAccessed property is added to a Car class — each instance will have its property. Whenever a method is called on that car, this property is updated with a newer timestamp.
In our example, in the DSL, we access that property through the delegate of the closure, with delegate.lastAccessed = new Date(). And we intercept any method call thanks to invokeMethod(), delegating to the original method for the call, and throwing an exception in case the method doesn't exist. Later on, you can see by executing this script that lastAccessed is updated as soon as we call a method on our instance.

|ACH Banner Raised On Mount Rainier
Steve Eaves, a member of the ACH Development Council recently climbed Mount Rainier as a part of a campaign to raise awareness about All Children's Hospital and the challenges faced by our patients on a daily basis.
The climb was part of the VF Licensed Sports Group's annual commitment to All Children's Hospital. "From my perspective, the parallels and metaphors surrounding the challenge to summit the third highest mountain in the United States, mirror some of those faced by the patients at All Children's Hospital on a daily basis," said Eaves, a sales director at VF Imagewear.
"When we arrived at the summit, a beautiful sunrise was waiting to greet us. At that point, I could finally raise the All Children's Hospital banner at 14,410 feet with a sense of pride and accomplishment," said Eaves. "All Children's Hospital and its Foundation has been climbing mountains and progressing towards 'the light' since 1926. Together, our sustained effort moves forward until every child is blessed with a healthy tomorrow and opportunity to climb his or her own mountain. Until then, our work continues."

Western Europe's housing markets seem to defy generalization, with some countries and cities bouncing back from the financial crisis more quickly than others, Standard & Poor's says.
With a recession looming, though, any rebound may be running out of steam.
France's real estate market has perhaps been the biggest surprise. After a short slump in the wake of the most recent economic recession, prices have again reached historic highs. Much of this is attributable to a stark imbalance in supply and demand. With the French population growing by an annual 370,000 per year, on average, and the number of people who live alone increasing, the country will need 400,000-500,000 new dwellings in the coming decade, according to the French housing authority.

Each optic nerve contains approximately one million nerve cells (neurons) that connect the eye to the brain. Inflammation from multiple sclerosis (MS) can affect the optic nerves. Therefore, it is very common for people with MS to have vision problems.
When MS inflammation affects optic nerve neurons, they may lose their protective myelin coating, a process called demyelination. This caused signals through the neurons to slow down, resulting in blurred vision.
Medications may repair myelin, but studies are limited.
4-aminopyridine (4-AP) is a medicine used to treat symptoms of MS caused by demyelination. It stabilizes movement of potassium ions through the surface of demyelinated neurons, making it easier for them to conduct signals.
Historically, 4-AP has only been available through compounding pharmacies, so studies of its use have been ...

Pedon Joins Illini Staff
April 18, 2013
Champaign, Ill. - Illinois head basketball coach John Groce announced Thursday that Ryan Pedon (pronounced PEA-den) has joined the staff in the role of special assistant to the head coach. Pedon is a 13-year veteran of the coaching profession, serving the last three seasons as assistant coach at Toledo.
"I've known Ryan for more than a decade and have a tremendous amount of respect for his work at Miami, Kent State and Toledo," Groce said. "He has extensive background in all areas of coaching, recruiting, scouting, video analysis and organization, summer camps and administrative duties that make him a perfect match for the duties of this job. Ryan will be a great fit with our staff as we all work toward our shared vision for this program."
Pedon helped coach Tod Kowalczyk transform the program during his time at Toledo. The Rockets boasted a 15-win improvement in 2012 ¬- second-best in the nation - and recorded UT's first postseason win in 11 years. This past season, the Rockets tied for first place in the MAC's West Division with a 10-6 record, securing Toledo's first division title and most conference wins since 2007.
Pedon earned his first assistant coaching position at Miami (Ohio), serving five years on former coach Charlie Coles' staff, including three years as recruiting coordinator. The RedHawks boasted winning conference records all five years during Pedon's tenure and won the MAC Tournament title in 2007 to earn the school's first NCAA Tournament berth since 1999. In addition to his day-to-day coaching and recruiting responsibilities with the RedHawks, Pedon was critical in the creation and cultivation of the program's Sixth Man Club as well as being a catalyst behind the upgrades to the locker room and Millett Hall's practice gymnasium. He also oversaw the Charlie Coles Boys Basketball Camp.
Prior to his tenure as an assistant, Pedon spent three years as Director of Basketball Operations at Kent State under former coach Jim Christian. While he was there, the Golden Flashes recorded three 20-win seasons and finished first in the MAC's East Division in both 2003 and 2004. Pedon handled all of Kent State's travel arrangements, monitored team study tables, coordinated film exchange, assisted with on-campus recruiting and was the director of the program's summer basketball camp.
Pedon's first job was serving as graduate assistant at Miami for two seasons. During that time, he handled daily administrative duties for the RedHawks, assisted with team travel and meals and coordinated film exchange with opponents.
Pedon played college basketball at NCAA Division III powerhouse Wooster, where he was a three-year varsity letterwinner and helped the Fighting Scots to three regular-season North Coast Athletic Conference championships (1998, 1999, 2000) and three NCAC Tournament titles (1997, 1999, 2000). In his junior and senior seasons, the Scots advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Div. III Tournament and finished with a No. 5 national ranking both years. Elected one of the Scots' team co-captains as a senior, Pedon was bestowed Wooster's annual "Bear Award," given to the player who demonstrates the best enthusiasm and leadership.
A native of Columbus, Ohio, Pedon earned a bachelor's degree in communications from Wooster in 2000 and a master's degree in sport organization from Miami in 2002. He and his wife, Stephanie, have a son, Maddox.

Hey all! just thought i would write one last blog for the season about nationals. As always it was so much fun to see all of my old friends and coaches from Minnesota. Also good to see all of my USASA teammates!
The first few days of nationals I cruised around copper and watched some of my friends kill it! such as Faye Gulini winning bordercross!! I also got to see some of the little rippers get after slope and halfpipe which is always fun! i was definitely impressed to say the least.
My first event of nationals was the rail jam on Tuesday night. During practice I fell in-between two of the rails and hit my knee against one of the posts holding the rail up. I got a pretty good puncture and a bruised knee which is still giving me some trouble. So I opted out of that event. The next day I did half pipe. This year I have been focused on slopestyle so this was my first pipe comp of the season. All of my tricks came back pretty quick and even though i missed finals by a few spots I still had a lot of fun! The last day I had slopestyle. I landed my first run of qualifiers and got a high score which always takes the pressure off a little bit. In finals, I fell my first run on a cab 5. I decided that instead of doing a mellow run that it would be more fun to send it my second run. So I hit the big side and landed a 720 off the last jump. it was my first 720 in contest so it felt really good! I ended up 3rd and was stoked on that!
All in all, it was a wonderful week! so good to see familiar faces and meet new ones. I hope everyone had a good time!! Ill be at hood this summer so hopefully i will see some of you there!!
Keep shredding,
Mikaela Casey


text: Does anyone know somebody who had a van for sale? Or maybe a mechanic who could handle a transmission job for a 98 Ford Contour V6 2.5L. it's not the sensors or any of that (so they say). They want to rebuild it. The tranny went out (D is gone but 1st and 2nd are still there) in my car almost a month ago. Now that Christmas is over with, I'm trying to get squared up on my transportation issues. I sent it to the shop yesterday only to be quoted an estimate of $1,800-$2,400 For that price, I can replace the whole car. Besides, I've kinda outgrown it and a van or smaller SUV would suit me better. Anyone have connections? I'm not too picky of looks, just need something reliable for awhile. A cheap minivan would be ideal, but 4 doors is a must. It's me, my wife, and the 2 youngin's that are both in car seats. HELP!!!!!!!

We use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag.

Toy Safety
Toys and games are tons of fun for kids and adults. Whether your kids are working on a puzzle, playing with building blocks or even inventing their own games, here are a few things to think about to help them stay safer and have a blast.
The Hard Facts
In 2011, an estimated 262,300 children were treated in an emergency room for a toy-related injury. That's 718 kids every day. More than a third of those injured were children 4 and under.
Top Tips
- Consider your child's age when purchasing a toy or game. It's worth a second to read the instructions and warning labels to make sure it's just right for your child.
- Before you've settled on the perfect toy, check to make sure there aren't any small parts or other potential choking hazards.
- Keep a special eye on small game pieces that may be a choking hazard for young children. While these kinds of games are great for older kids, they can pose a potential danger for younger, curious siblings.
- After play time is over, use a bin or container to store toys for next time. Make sure there are no holes or hinges that could catch little fingers.

Darley considers appeal after 10-day ban
Tuesday 12 July 2005
He was suspended from 22-31 July for not riding out Meaningful, who finished fourth, a short-head behind the third, in the opening EBF Maiden Stakes.
Stipendiary steward Phil Tuck said: "It appeared as if Kevin Darley had stopped riding in the closing stages, and we felt that he could and should have been third."
The race was won by the Howard Johnson-trained Pacific Pride, ridden by Robert Winston.
Darley is considering an appeal and said: "I will be discussing the matter with John Blake, secretary of the Jockeys' Association and take it from there.
"I was only looking after the welfare of the horse in the closing stages - I was worried that something may have been wrong somewhere. If I had reported that when I came in, nothing would have been done.
"I had kept nudging away and it was just instinct that I did it a bit harder when the other horse came alongside. That may have made it look as if I had stopped riding and then started again, but I had not stopped."

Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Suspended Mingo County Circuit Judge Michael Thornsbury pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy in a scheme to protect the reputation of the county sheriff who later was slain in an unrelated shooting.
Thornsbury entered the plea hours after his attorney, Stephen Jory, said the judge submitted a resignation letter to the state Supreme Court, and that he has consented to disbarment in a letter to the state Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
The one-sentence letter is addressed to state Supreme Court Chief Justice Brent Benjamin but was delivered to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. It reads only, "Please accept this letter as my resignation as Judge of the Thirtieth Judicial Circuit in Mingo County, West Virginia."
U.S. District Judge Thomas Johnston scheduled sentencing for Jan. 13. Thornsbury faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Thornsbury, wearing a dark, striped suit and tie with a blue shirt, gave mostly short answers to Johnston's questions, including his response when the judge asked how he would plead.
"Guilty," Thornsbury said. He did not comment after the hearing.
Thornsbury, 57, was accused of participating in a scheme to protect the Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum from revelations he'd bought drugs from a campaign sign-maker.
Prosecutors allege Thornsbury and others offered a lighter sentence if the man fired his lawyer and hired one they preferred.
Crum was fatally shot in April as he ate lunch in his parked vehicle in downtown Williamson.
In exchange for a guilty plea, prosecutors said they would dismiss charges against Thornsbury in a separate case in which the judge repeatedly tried to frame his former secretary's husband for false crimes to eliminate him as a romantic rival.
In the conspiracy case, federal prosecutors said Thornsbury plotted with Mingo County Prosecutor Michael Sparks, Crum and county commissioner David Baisden to spare Crum from paying a $3,000 debt and to protect his career.
Crum didn't want to pay campaign-sign maker George White. White is serving one to 15 years under a plea agreement that prosecutors say he was forced to accept after being ordered to fire his own attorney and accept one chosen by Thornsbury.
"For a judge to violate someone's constitutional rights is really beyond the pale," U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said after the hearing Wednesday. But to violate someone's rights in order to obstruct a federal investigation, that's really unthinkable. Elected officials shouldn't be treated differently than anyone else."
Sparks, who denies any wrongdoing, hasn't been charged but faces an Oct. 16 hearing before the state Supreme Court on a motion by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel to suspend his law license.
The group that investigates alleged misconduct by lawyers claims Sparks lied to the high court last month when he said he didn't know about alleged corruption by Thornsbury. The office said a sealed affidavit by FBI Special Agent Joseph Ciccarelli reveals that Sparks admitted he knew about the crimes that Thornsbury is now charged with committing.
Sparks has continued to deny any misconduct or crimes and has requested more time to fully respond to the latest allegations.
Earlier this week, the former secretary, Kimberly Woodruff, and her husband, Robert, filed separate lawsuits against Thornsbury after mediation efforts with him and seven other defendants failed. Kimberly Woodruff's lawsuit says her boss relentlessly pursued her, professed his love in a letter, then plotted against her husband when she refused repeated demands for a sexual relationship.
Federal prosecutors have billed Kim Woodruff's relationship with the judge as an affair, but her lawyers said it went unconsummated.
According to federal prosecutors, Thornsbury tried to frame Robert Woodruff between 2008 and 2012 for crimes including drug possession, larceny and assault. The schemes involved a state trooper, the county emergency services director, and a friend and business partner of the judge, but none of them panned out, federal prosecutors said.
Prosecutors say the judge first tried to plant a box of drugs in Robert Woodruff's car, then got a trooper to pursue a criminal case against Woodruff for salvaging mine-roof drill bits and scrap from the company he worked for, even though he had permission to do so.
They also allege that Thornsbury tapped a friend, the county's emergency services director, to improperly serve as foreman of the Mingo County grand jury.
Prosecutors say the judge wrote subpoenas and had the grand jury issue them to help get private information about Woodruff. They said that scheme was exposed when one of the businesses refused to cooperate.
And when Robert Woodruff became the victim of an assault outside a convenience store last year by two men, the judge arranged for Woodruff to be identified as the perpetrator, according to prosecutors.
Among those in the packed courtroom Wednesday were Crum's widow, Rosie; attorney Michael Callaghan, who represents the Woodruffs; and Kanawha County Prosecutor Mark Plants, who is handling the prosecution of Eugene Crum shooting suspect Tennis Maynard.
Maynard is accused of shooting Crum twice in the head and is scheduled for trial in December.
On Tuesday, Baisden pleaded guilty to a federal extortion charge. He was accused of trying to buy tires for his personal vehicle at a government discount, then terminating the county's contract with Appalachian Tire when it refused to cooperate.
Baisden, 66, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he's sentenced Jan. 14.
Goodwin said the federal investigation of Mingo County remains ongoing.
"I fully anticipate that there will be further developments," he said.

Look what they're saying about The Haftarah Commentary:
"Eminently useful."--Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis, Valley Beth Shalom, Encino, CA

"The goal is to entice people into reading the Bible."--Gustav Niebuhr, The New York Times
Music can be a wonderfully effective teaching tool for preschool aged children. My Jewish World guides teachers through the process of introducing and utilizing song in the classroom to teach Jewish values.
In her comprehensive and easy to follow book, Judy Caplan Ginsburgh includes twenty-six songs, religious and secular, that will help to facilitate an environment of fun and learning. Each song addresses important Jewish concepts and many use Hebrew words and prayers. Judy provides comments, activities, and creative ideas, specific for each song, which can be used in the classroom to learn about being Jewish every day. The importance of saying the Sh'ma each morning, learning the Hebrew words for colors, understanding body parts, and the value of cooperation are only some of the Jewish concepts touched on in the book.
In addition, Judy Ginsburgh includes a list of suggested books for many of the topics. These books help to reinforce and expand the lessons laid out in the curriculum.
With a helpful glossary of Hebrew and Yiddish terms and the companion music CD, My Jewish World is a wonderful guide to making music significant in the Jewish classroom.
Rabbi Edwin Goldberg's new book Heads and Tales: Stories from the Sages to Enlighten our Minds brings age-old tales to life once more. Designed as an introduction to the art of reading rabbinic literature, Heads and Tales opens the door to the creative genius of the rabbis of long ago.
Using this carefully selected collection of stories, Heads and Tales will help instill a love of Jewish stories, while also helping students gain the skills needed to be critical readers of these traditional stories. In addition, these stories demonstrate that the issues that concerned our ancestors in past generations are similar or are the same as those that concern us today. The tales found in the book, while they may have been written in years gone by, remain most relevant.

When "The Wizard of Oz" opens tonight at North Lenoir High School, it will incorporate some glorifications and expansions from its first opening 50 performances ago at the high school.
Marian Kennedy, teacher and head of the drama department, has pulled out all the stops to celebrate the school's drama program, the dedication of the students, the support of parents and the community, and her love for the stage, especially "The Wizard of Oz."
Not only was it the first play she produced at North Lenoir, but she played Dorothy when she was in the play in high school. It is her favorite musical.
A gala in March sponsored by the school's Booster Club raised money to fund the flying equipment and orchestra for this production. Some of the funds also are earmarked for college scholarships for the school's Drama club seniors.
"The Wizard of Oz" is and probably always will be one of the greatest musicals for pleasing an audience. The story, by L. Frank Baum, was partly inspired by Baum's childhood love of Grimm's Fairy Tales and partly by his desire to provide his four young sons with something a little more exciting to read than the fiction available at the turn of the century in the United States.
The musical hosts empathetic characters who serve as archetypes for society. From the Cowardly Lion, to the Wicked Witch, to Dorothy who learns that "there is no place like home," the characters delight audiences. The musical numbers include such classics as "Over the Rainbow," "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead'" and "We're Off to See the Wizard."
Kennedy has outdone herself in incorporating a large number and broad range of ages of students in the cast. The Munchkins alone exceed three dozen. There also will be as many students behind the scenes in technical and production roles as you see onstage.
The leading role of Dorothy will be played alternately by Holly Holder and Sydnee Hudson. Wes Nimmo is the Scarecrow; Thomas Horner, Tin Man; RJ Smith and D-Mosi Brown, Cowardly Lion; Morgan Harrison and Alyssa Bayless, Wicked Witch of the West; Nicole Robinson and Carrie Letchworth, Glinda the Good Witch; and Will Hardy, Professor Marvel/Wizard of Oz.
Join the excitement and celebration during this weekend's run of "The Wizard of Oz."

Hi MamaJo...did your dc personally receive a cb? if so, congrats! is it assumed that these are cb's from both the 11/11 and 11/17's?
|Johnny Depp
Hi Skylane, sorry, I didn't check in here for a while. Yes. I assumed this was the final day of callbacks for all previous ensemble auditions because they were called "final callbacks" but I guess you never really know. It did not end the way final callbacks usually end, i.e. usually some kids are cut and some kept at the very end. But not this time. Has anyone who was at finals heard if any casting calls have been made?
Does anyone know when the next round of girls auditions is being held?
What is the height max for Matilda?
according to casting matilda must be under 4'3" but if history proves anything they usually pick a kid as close to 4'1" as possible for room to grow
Any news on casting kids ensemble replacements from the 12/9 callback?
|Kevin Bacon
When and where are the auditions for Matilda for this weekend? Any info would be great…thanks
|Johnny Depp
If you go to norabrennancasting you can find all of the info. GLTA!
|Sean Penn
Anyone go to the call today? Was it crowded? What was said?
|Denzel Washington
Not crowded at all not sure how many people came later but when they started maybe 30-40 kids
|Kevin Bacon
Still had to wait for a couple of hours even though it was not crowded and we got there very early. It seemed like the girls that went in at the beginning got the opportunity to do more than one song, but then they sped up and all the girls whizzed in and out doing 16 bars. I think they may have realized how late things were running. It felt like a well run open call.
Did anyone get called back from the 2/23/14 audition?
|Kevin Bacon
Did they have cb's yet? Nothing here GLTA!
Haven't heard anything yet from the 2/23/14 open call.
|Sean Penn
Thoughts on Saturday's open call from those who were there?

Amidst the chaos caused by Usagi and Chibi-Usa's body swap, courtesy of the Amazoness PallaPalla, the Sailor Guardians' primary concern remains Mamoru's illness and its possible link to the newcomers in town, the Dead Moon Circus. The Amazonesses and their circus animal lackeys go after the guardians one by one, tempting them with false visions. However, each of the Sailors manage to defeat the enemy after their inner selves show them their individual heart crystals and new weapons.
Meanwhile, it is still a toss-up who the "young maiden" is that Elysion priest Helios seeks: she who shall find and unlock the Golden Crystal that will save Earth, Elysion, and Mamoru!

CHAPEL HILL — Even with poster-quality dunks from P.J. Hairston and J.P. Tokoto providing highlight-reel moments, this North Carolina victory won't be sealed in a vault and saved for Atlantic Coast Conference basketball posterity.
But still, the Tar Heels uncovered enough signs of progress in defeating Georgia Tech 79-63 at the Smith Center that, no matter if Wednesday night felt somewhat routine, there was satisfaction to be gleaned.
"We definitely had some letdowns in there," forward James Michael McAdoo said, "but I feel like we were able to piece together almost a 40-minute game."
Reggie Bullock supplied 17 points, McAdoo added 14 points and nine rebounds and Hairston chipped in 15 points off the bench — underscored, of course, by the massive, one-handed facial he cocked back and hammered over the Yellow Jackets' 6-foot-11 Daniel Miller.
That resounding jam, with the 6-5 Hairston dunking despite Miller's flailing arm, put the Tar Heels ahead by 17 points with 6:15 remaining. From there, they led by at least 15 points until the final horn.
"Honestly, I didn't see him until the last second. And I was up there, so I was like, 'well, why not,' " Hairston said. "I had my mind made up that I was going to dunk it, anyway. But little did I know that I was going to be dunking on a 6-11 center."
Most notable, though, became North Carolina (13-5 overall, 3-2 ACC) expanding its 40-32 halftime lead to a margin as large as 19 in the second half.
In their previous game, the Tar Heels raced to a 22-point halftime cushion Saturday against Maryland, before uncorking a flat, almost disinterested second half in which they scored a total of 20 points.
This time, on Wednesday night, North Carolina's eight-point edge on Georgia Tech (10-7, 0-5) only grew after halftime. Hairston said that was an emphasis.
"That was the main thing we focused on, to keep it up and maintain what we're doing," he said. "We kept up the intensity for both halves instead of letting Georgia Tech back in the game. They went on their little run and we didn't back down like we did toward the beginning of the season."
Hairston said he liked his team's activity level on defense. North Carolina forced 19 turnovers and swatted a season-high 10 blocked shots in picking up its third victory in a row since stumbling to an 0-2 start in the ACC.
And while McAdoo said afterward that the Tar Heels would leave feeling as though their league record should be 5-0, Bullock, seated a few feet away, disagreed.
"We shouldn't be cocky feeling that we're 3-2," Bullock said. "We've still got a lot more work to do."
Next comes Saturday night's date at 18th-ranked North Carolina State, a rivalry game in which North Carolina can arrive with a sense of momentum.
A 9-2 burst to start Wednesday night's second half pushed the Tar Heels to a 49-34 lead on Georgia Tech, now 0-3 during the last two weeks in trips to the Triangle region of this state.
That stretch ended with back-and-forth sharing from Bullock to Marcus Paige while they ran in transition. Then, as two Yellow Jackets left their feet and went flying by, Paige slipped a sweet feed back to Bullock for a layup and 15-point lead with 17½ minutes left.
Three minutes later, a crisp 30-second span featured Hairston and Bullock drilling 3-pointers from the opposite wings to help North Carolina further assert control.
"It's a 'W.' It goes in the winning column," Bullock said. "Now we have to prepare for N.C. State."
Kammeon Holsey's 18 points off the bench paced the Yellow Jackets, who remained the lone winless team in ACC play. Georgia Tech shot 36 percent from the field for the game.
Georgia Tech's startling lineup, which includes freshmen Marcus Georges-Hunt, Robert Carter Jr. and Chris Bolden, finished 16-for-50 from the field (32 percent).
Mfon Udofia, the only senior who played for the Yellow Jackets on Wednesday night, emerged as the main culprit. He went 1-for-9 and sprayed several air balls.
"I think North Carolina's starting to kind of come into its own," Georgia Tech coach Brian Gregory said. "They're a much different team than the one that opened up 0-2 in this league."
-- GUARD MUST SIT OUT MORE GAMES: North Carolina announced Wednesday afternoon that Leslie McDonald wouldn't be allowed to play until Feb. 2 against Virginia Tech because he "did not do what we expect of our student-athletes," coach Roy Williams said in a statement released by the school.
McDonald, a junior guard, missed the Tar Heels' three games prior to Wednesday night while recovering from a knee injury. Williams said McDonald's knee has improved to the point where he's medically cleared to return to action.
But due to this disciplinary decision, McDonald sat out Wednesday night's game against Georgia Tech and must miss Saturday night's game at N.C. State and next week's trip to Boston College.
McDonald is averaging 8.4 points per game this season.
"I did not take care of my responsibilities as a student-athlete and have to miss some games as a result," he said in a statement.

Spatial Vision's new authoritative high performance digital map product 'Mapscape' was successfully trialled during the 2011/12 summer by Victoria's emergency services. The trial included DSE Fire, CFA, SES and MFB who actively used the Mapscape data in iPads, in corporate GIS mapping systems and via a dedicated website.
Mapscape comprises eleven sets of seamless multi-scale, high quality raster maps optimised for emergency service use. It offers a familiar cartographic style that complements Spatial Vision's Vicmap books already used by ESOs, and also provides benefits such as seamless and quick navigation from state wide view down to property level.
During the trial Mapscape was used by operational staff across Victoria in a wide variety of real life applications on the ground and in fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. These included planned burn operations and wildfire response.
The Mapscape trial provided valuable feedback that will help Spatial Vision continue its support of the operational needs of Victorian's emergency service organisations through the provision of an easy to use, reliable, up-to-date and well presented topographic digital map product.
Trial participants were very supportive of the Mapscape product and believe that it builds on the successful Vicmap Book hardcopy mapping program that has been in place since 2005.
Some of the feedback we've received included:
"…..really good for navigation work in both aircraft and on ground….. saves on carrying a suite of map books" Steve Grant, Planned Burning Delivery Leader, DSE
"…..have had nothing but positive feedback so far (on the Mapscape iPad deployments in Bendigo and Benalla). In fact during one incident, (Mapscape) helped our Regional Manager immensely to locate a dangerous dam and identify the areas at risk, all on the side of a road……" Andrew Morrison, Operational Communications Officer, Vic SES
I was impressed with the quality and ease of use of the maps. The fact that I could access the same mapping imagery on both iPad and eMap is a great benefit. Overall, a really good product". Peter Luckock, Senior Project Officer - Resources review, CFA\State Control Centre (SCC)
"….I have to say, after using and making maps in this state for many years, I could not fault this product…." Hans Van Elmpt, Regional GIS Coordinator, Vic DSE
"…..very quick to navigate and clear to read…..crews were able to use this package (Mapscape iPad app) easier than most commonly used GPS units" Craig Hamilton and team, GIS Team Leader, DSE
Spatial Vision is currently finalising access to its new Mapscape product with Victorian ESOs and plan to have it in operational use by these organisations in July 2012.

How to get a free 1 Year SAMS Club membership
The Secret to the FREE 1 Year SAMS Club Membership:
The SAMS Club membership agreement states that you can return your membership card for a full refund at any time for any reason.
Now I know what you are thinking… this is shady. I disagree. You see the one problem that I have with the membership is that I have to pay to spend my money in their store. With this policy, they address that issue. (Method #1)I can return my membership on week 50, get a full refund, and purchase another one. I've done this three times to get a FREE 1 Year SAMS Club Membership. A manager was called over the second time I did it and I explained that I was very satisfied with the product line, just not with the idea that I had to pay for the right to shop there, and noted that their return policy addressed this issue nicely. He agreed, gave the cashier the nod, and said good one. I got my Free 1 year Sams Club membership. If this method will cause you to feel uncomfortable you can employ method #2. Method #2 is simply to return the membership at the SAMS club you are at for your full refund. Go home, and get your Free 1 year Sams Club membership online.
If you doubt my methods for the Free 1 year Sams Club Membership you can see for yourself, read the first paragraph of their policy.
When a company gives a satisfaction guarantee they do it because they want you to be fully satisfied. If you can become satisfied by utilizing the membership, and the guarantee then they have fulfilled their mission, and so have you. It is ethical, you are the customer, and the money back guarantee is their offer that you will be satisfied.
2013 FREE 1 Year SAMS Club Membership:
So when you notice your membership expire date is approaching, don't be afraid to go up to the customer service desk and get your refund/renewal. Now take the money you just saved and go get a FREE COSTCO membership the process is a little different and we show you how to get TWO memberships! We talked to a SAMS Club PR and they told us the reason they have the return policy wide open is to make sure their customers are satisfied with the membership. They realize there is a certain portion of their membership base that does not like the idea of supporting the club through a paid for membership and this return policy is an effective way to remedy that issue and make those customers happy.
