beautiful invitations
personalizing the invitations, etc. on the website was a little slow, but the quality and service of MagnetStreet representatives made it work. Everything, from the save the dates, to the invitations, to the vellum, is beautiful. Quality materials, beautiful colors, it all came out wonderful. I love the quality of the invitations, which came out perfect, and received everything quicker than expected. It has been a great experience, and we would highly recommend Magnet Street to anyone getting married... the fancy blossoms are gorgeous!
My experience with the personalization of invitation was wonderful. The magnet street team assisted me every step of the way making the end product exceptional. The quality of vertical fold was surprising though, I expected it to be the same to that of the one sample but it wasn't. Needless to say I love my invis.
Love them
We absolutely love our invitations. The MagnetStreet staff that I spoke with on the phone were all very nice and informative. I would recommend to any bride. We were able to match our colors exactly and word everything as we wanted it. We also added one of our engagement pictures to the invites and it came out very clear. The only thing is I would definitely recommend getting the envelope liners to add to the envelopes that come with the invitiations as they aren't anything special. The liners dress them up nicely. The invitations themselves however are made with very nice thick stock paper.
Absolutely loved it!!
The invitations came out perfect, the picture looked as good as if I would have printed it out. Over all extremely happy with the product, I ordered 100 of them and it took less than 2 weeks for us to get them. Super impressed. I will order from here again.
Great choice for my fiance and I. Loved it and so did our guests!

The Decorator Pattern provides a mechanism to embellish the behaviour of an object without changing its essential interface. A decorated object should be able to be substituted wherever the original (non-decorated) object was expected. Decoration typically does not involve modifying the source code of the original object and decorators should be able to be combined in flexible ways to produce objects with several embellishments.
Traditional Example
Suppose we have the following
Logger class.
There might be times when it is useful to timestamp a log message, or times when we might want to change the case of the message. We could try to build all of this functionality into our
Logger class. If we did that, the
Logger class would start to be very complex. Also, everyone would obtain all of features even when they might not want a small subset of the features. Finally, feature interaction would become quite difficult to control.
To overcome these drawbacks, we instead define two decorator classes. Uses of the
Logger class are free to embellish their base logger with zero or more decorator classes in whatever order they desire. The classes look like this:
We can use the decorators like so:
You can see that we embellish the logger behaviour with both decorators. Because of the order we chose to apply the decorators, our log message comes out capitalised and the timestamp is in normal case. If we swap the order around, let's see what happens:
Now the timestamp itself has also been changed to be uppercase.
A touch of dynamic behaviour
Our previous decorators were specific to
Logger objects. We can use Groovy's Meta-Object Programming capabilities to create a decorator which is far more general purpose in nature. Consider this class:
It takes any class and decorates it so that any
String method parameter will automatically be changed to lower case.
Just be careful with ordering here. The original decorators were restricted to decorating
Logger objects. This decorator work with any object type, so we can't swap the ordering around, i.e. this won't work:
We could overcome this limitation be generating an appropriate Proxy type at runtime but we won't complicate the example here.
Runtime behaviour embellishment
You can also consider using the
ExpandoMetaClass from Groovy 1.1 to dynamically embellish a class with behaviour. This isn't the normal style of usage of the decorator pattern (it certainly isn't nearly as flexible) but may help you to achieve similar results in some cases without creating a new class.
Here's what the code looks like:
This achieves a similar result to applying a single decorator but we have no way to easily apply and remove embellishments on the fly.
More dynamic decorating
Suppose we have a calculator class. (Actually any class would do.)
We might be interested in observing usage of the class over time. If it is buried deep within our codebase, it might be hard to determine when it is being called and with what parameters. Also, it might be hard to know if it is performing well. We can easily make a generic tracing decorator that prints out tracing information whenever any method on the
Calc class is called and also provide timing information about how long it took to execute. Here is the code for the tracing decorator:
Here is how to use the class in a script:
And here is what you would see after running this script:
Decorating with an Interceptor
The above timing example hooks into the lifecycle of Groovy objects (via
invokeMethod). This is such an important style performing meta-programming that Groovy has special support for this style of decorating using interceptors.
Groovy even comes with a built-in
TracingInterceptor. We can extend the built-in class like this:
Here is an example of using this new class:
And here is the output:
Decorating with java.lang.reflect.Proxy
If you are trying to decorate an object (i.e. just a particular instance of the class, not the class generally), then you can use Java's
java.lang.reflect.Proxy. Groovy makes working with this easier than just Java. Below is a code sample taken out of a grails project that wraps a
java.sql.Connection so that it's close method is a no-op:
If there were many methods to intercept, then this approach could be modified to look up closure in a map by method name and invoke it.
Decorating with Spring
The Spring Framework allows decorators to be applied with interceptors (you may have heard the terms advice or aspect). You can leverage this mechanism from Groovy as well.
First define a class that you want to decorate (we'll also use an interface as is normal Spring practice):
Here's the interface:
Here's the class:
Now, we define our wiring in a file called
beans.xml as follows:
Now, our script looks like this:
And when we run it, we see the results:
You may have to adjust your
logging.properties file for messages at log level
FINEST to be displayed.

GRAHAM — Tim Matthews pointed to a pair of 35-millimeter movie projectors in the projection room of the Graham Cinema.
"Basically what they are now is boat anchors," he said of the metal monstrosities.
The means by which theaters show movies is changing and those involved with management of the historic cinema are working to stay abreast of the latest technology.
They have little choice.
Since 2008, the movie industry has witnessed a rapid transformation to digital projectors. Not long ago, it was believed it'd be at least another five years before digital projectors replaced 35-millimeter ones. That's no longer the case.
Jennifer Talley, who owns the Graham Cinema along with her husband, Chuck, said it's now believed that as early as this fall, movies will be released only in digital format. Presently they're released digitally as well as on 35-millimeter reels.
When the move to digital is complete, theaters must upgrade to digital projectors or go out of business. This is a particular strain on small, second-run movie houses like the Cinema that operate on shoestring budgets.
It's estimated a digital projector for the Cinema will cost a minimum of $60,000.
Matthews, a former owner of the Cinema who still oversees the theater (Jennifer Talley refers to him as "The face" of the Cinema) has been in the movie business since 1967 and has seen plenty of changes in the industry. He said despite the cost to upgrade a theater with a new projector, he welcomes the switch to digital.
"They're for the better no matter what people say," Matthews said. "It's perfect sound, perfect picture, always."
The price of admission to the Cinema is being upped to $4 to help pay for the new projector. For years – with the exception of the showing of special movies – a ticket cost $3.
On his well-listened-to joke line (336-226-1488), Matthews acknowledged plenty of customers have expressed displeasure with the Cinema's price increase.
"We've got to buy a projector, OK?" Matthews pleads with callers.
He said he's got friends who own second-run theaters in other cities who plan to close once movies are released only in a digital format. They don't make enough money, Matthews said, to buy digital projectors.
Talley said she asked movie companies to continue producing movies in 35-millimeter format. "They didn't listen to me," she said, laughing as she spoke.
"You have no choice," Talley continued. "You can't get a movie in 35-millimeter format. What can you do?"
She said it's her understanding that production companies make more with digital movies because distribution costs are considerably cheaper than with 35-millimeter movies.
"They're all about money," Talley said. "If they're pushing the little guys out, that's tough. They don't care."
Matthews said the Cinema will – unlike many theaters – keep its 35-millimeter projectors even when they're replaced with digital. He said over the years he's purchased a number of 35-millimeter movies and said the old projectors will remain at the movie house should they ever want to have a screening.
Matthews said the switch to digital will result in job losses. Whereas a projectionist has to oversee the operation of a projector showing a 35-millimeter movie, that's not the case with a digital projector.
"You can program them to come on at 7 and 9:30 and you don't even have to be in the booth," Matthews said.
Of the industry, he said, "They're moving along, you know?"
Meanwhile, Talley said she hopes residents of Alamance County continue to support the Cinema despite the theater's hike in price of admission. She said she and her husband plan to eventually replace all the seats in the theater and continue a renovation.
The price of a new digital projector, Talley said, cuts into the money they'd planned for that work, though she said it's still coming.
"We need people to be supportive of us," Talley said.

Cleveland County's overall health ranking dropped three spots this year, making it the 83rd healthiest county in the state, according to an annual survey that compares counties based on a variety of health and wellness factors.
The University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation annually analyze the health of counties across the nation.
Health rankings are based on a variety of health factors, such as poor/fair health, adult smoking, excessive drinking and preventable hospital stays.
Wake County has held the top spot as North Carolina's healthiest county since 2010.
Cleveland County ranked worse than the national benchmark in many areas in the survey, including poor or fair health, low birth weight and unemployment.
The study marked Cleveland's unemployment percentage near 12 percent, more than double the national average.
But the rankings weren't all bad.
Cleveland County ranked better than the state average in excessive drinking, sexually transmitted infections and violent crime rates.
The survey aims to improve health in communities by examining specific factors that can affect health from education to income, according to the County Health Rankings' website.
Deshay Oliver, public information officer with the Cleveland County Health Department, said the department is working on its own health rankings tailored to the county. Those results are expected to be released as early as next week.

Amash most recently won re-election in 2012 with 52.6% of the general election vote. He defeated Steve Pestka (D) and Bill Gelineau (L) in the general election on November 6, 2012.
Prior to his service in the U.S. House, Amash served one term in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2008 to 2010.
Amash is set to run for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014.
Although Amash is classified as voting more often with the Democratic Party according to multiple outside rankings, this stems from his tendency to vote against many Republican-sponsored bills that he views as not conservative or libertarian enough. This includes the 2014 House Budget bill, H Con Res 25, sponsored by Paul Ryan which had 221 Republican votes. Amash voted "nay" for reasons such as: "It accepts the $600 billion in new taxes established at the time of the so-called fiscal cliff deal (which I opposed). It *increases* government spending at the rate of approximately 3.4 percent per year." His reasoning for breaking with the party on these major votes often is on the opposite side of the spectrum from the reasoning the Democratic Party opposes bill such as this one. [1]
Amash is the Chairman of the House Liberty Caucus, which is "a congressional caucus dedicated to the principles of limited government, free markets, and individual liberty."[2]
Amash was born in 1980 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He attended Grand Rapids Christian High School, graduating as the valedictorian of his class. Amash went on to earn his B.A. and J.D. at the University of Michigan in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Prior to his political career, Amash worked as an attorney.[3]
Below is an abbreviated outline of Amash's political career:[3]
- 2008-2010: Michigan House of Representatives
- 2011-Present: U.S. House of Representatives, Michigan's 3rd congressional district
Committee assignments
U.S. House
Amash serves on the following committees:[4]
- Oversight and Government Reform Committee
- Subcommittee on Government Operations
- Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations
Amash served on the following House committees:[5]
- Joint Economic Committee
- Budget Committee
- Oversight and Government Reform Committee
- Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service, and Labor Policy Vice Chair
- Subcommittee Government Organization, Efficiency, and Financial Management
- Subcommittee on TARP, Financial Services, and Bailouts of Public and Private Programs
In March 2012, Amash was one of two Republicans who voted against Paul Ryan's budget plan in the House Budget Committee. Amash and Tim Huelskamp both said they felt the plan did not cut the budget fast enough. In December 2012 it was revealed that both representatives would not serve on the House Budget Committee in the 113th Congress.[6][7]
Legislative actions
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[8] For more information pertaining to Amash's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[9]
National security
American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
It would be illegal for the White House to launch a military strike against Syria without congressional approval, Amash said on August 27, 2013.[10]
Amash used his Twitter account to respond to the news that House Speaker John Boehner (R) had been consulted by the Obama administration about the potential use of force against Syria.[10] He said that if Boehner believes the president will use force, the speaker should call the House back to Washington to debate and vote on that decision.[10]
He further stated, ""I don't think the American people are ready to go to war based on circumstantial evidence. The case for going to war is not that strong, in any event. … The issue has to remain whether this is in the interests of the United States to get involved. If we go there, are we going to cause more bloodshed or less? That's not clear to me."[11]
Amendment to defund NSA surveillance programs
The U.S. House of Representatives voted on July 24, 2013, to narrowly defeated an amendment brought by Amash meant to halt the National Security Agency's bulk collection of surveillance data.[12] The amendment would have stripped funding for an NSA program that collects the telephone records of people in the United States, but not the content of calls.[13]
The vote scrambled the usual ideological fault lines in the House, with conservative Republicans siding with liberal Democrats.[14][15] The House voted 205-217 to defeat the amendment with more Democrats than Republicans voting in favor of the amendment.[16][13][17] From Amasha's own party, 134 Republicans voted against the amendment, with only 94 agreeing with it, while 111 Democrats voted for the amendment, with 83 voting against.[16]
Among the Republicans opposing the measure was Michele Bachmann. Bachmann defended the NSA's data collection programs, arguing that "here's no Fourth Amendment expectation of privacy or right to the business-record exception" concerning the collection of phone metadata.[16] She continued by saying, "If we take this program and remove from the United States the distinct advantage that we have versus any other country, it will be those who are seeking to achieve the goals of Islamic jihad who will benefit by putting the United States at risk, and it will be the United States which will be at risk. I believe that we need to win the War on Terror. We need to defeat the goals and aims of Islamic jihad, and for that reason I will be voting no on the Amash amendment."[16] Bachmann was joined by, among others, Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor in opposing the amendment.[16]
The House on July 24, 2013, overwhelmingly passed a separate NSA amendment, put forward by Rep. Mike Pompeo, that was intended as a middle ground but was blasted by civil liberties advocates as achieving nothing.[13] The measure would ensure that the NSA is barred from acquiring or storing the content of emails and phone calls of people in the United States, but it would allow the NSA to continue storing phone metadata.[13]

On June 12, 2013, Amash called for the resignation of James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, because in a congressional hearing in March 2013, Clapper affirmatively asserted that the National Security Agency was not involved in a large-scale surveillance program to gather data on American citizens.[18]
Amash said, "It now appears clear that the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, lied under oath to Congress and the American people...Perjury is a serious crime ... [and] Clapper should resign immediately."[18]
National Defense Authorization Act
Amash voted against HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[19]
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Amash voted against HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 that was largely along party lines.[20]
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act
Amash voted against HR 624 - the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities. The bill was largely supported by Republicans but divided the Democratic Party.[21]
Paul Ryan Budget Proposal
In March 2013 the Republican controlled House passed the budget proposal set out by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (R) for the third straight year.[22] However, not all Republican representatives voted in favor of the proposal.[22] Amash was one of the 10 Republican Representatives who voted against Ryan's budget proposal.[22]
The proposal was killed after being voted down in the U.S. Senate with a 40-59 vote.[23]
The proposal would have cut about $5 trillion over the next decade and aimed to balance the budget by the end of the 10-year period.[22] The 2013 bill had opposition from 10 Republicans — the same number that voted against it in 2012. In 2011 only four Republicans cast a vote in opposition.[22] Democrats have unanimously voted against the bill every year.[22]
2013 Farm Bill
In July 2013 the Republican controlled House narrowly passed a scaled-back version of the farm bill after stripping out the popular food-stamp program.[24][25] The bill passed on a 216-208 vote, with no Democrats voting in favor.[26] All but 12 Republicans supported the measure.[27] The group consisted mostly of conservative lawmakers more concerned about spending than farm subsidies.[27][28] Amash was one of the 12 who voted against the measure.[27]
The farm bill historically has included both billions in farm subsidies and billions in food stamps. Including both of the two massive programs has in the past helped win support from rural-state lawmakers and those representing big cities.[26] After the bill failed in the House in June 2013 amid opposition from rank-and-file Republicans, House leaders removed the food stamp portion in a bid to attract conservative support.[26]
Federal Statutory Pay Adjustment Elimination
Amash voted for HR 273 - Eliminates the 2013 Statutory Pay Adjustment for Federal Employees. The bill passed the House on February 15, 2013, with a vote of 261 - 154. The bill would prevent a 0.5% pay increase for all federal workers from taking effect, saving the federal government $11 billion over 10 years.[29]
Morton Memos Enforcement Prohibition
Amash voted for House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[30] The vote largely followed party lines.[31]
Health Care Reform Rules
Amash voted for House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires that all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[32]
Social issues
Amash voted for HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196 that largely followed party lines. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[33]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Amash voted against the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 151 Republicans that voted against the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[34]
Presidential preference
Justin Amash endorsed Ron Paul in the 2012 presidential election.
Conservative Fight Club
According to the conservative website RedState, Amash is 1 of 16 U.S. House members in the "Conservative Fight Club", a designation meant to describe the gold standard of conservatives, as outlined by RedState. They are the 16 Republicans who voted against the continuing appropriations resolution to avoid the impending government shutdown in March. This type of resolution is used to fund government agencies when a formal federal budget has not been approved.[35]
Campaign themes
The following are several issues that were highlighted on Amash's campaign website.[36]
- Accountability & Transparency
Excerpt: "I am the first-ever Member of Congress to explain every vote I take on the House floor, which I do on my official congressional Facebook Page. In addition, I have never missed a vote as a state legislator or Member of Congress."
- Economy & Regulations
Excerpt: "Government can best help the economy by making regulations predictable and uncomplicated, simplifying the tax code, and letting businesses stand or fail on their own merit."
- Education
Excerpt: "The right of parents to educate their children as they see fit, including the right of homeschooling, should not be infringed. Government-mandated curriculums and teaching methods do not properly account for different learning styles, leaving many children confused and falling short of their potential."
- Environment
Excerpt: "The best way to protect the environment is through strong enforcement of property rights and pursuit of sound economic policy."
- Health Care
Excerpt: "As a Member of Congress, I have voted to repeal the President's plan to force families and individuals to purchase government-approved health insurance... We need reforms that will reduce the real costs of health care, not force participation in a government system."
- Immigration
Excerpt: "The United States has always welcomed individuals who legally seek to enter our country to work or become citizens, but Congress and the President must make every effort to secure our borders."
- Life, Faith & Family
Excerpt: "The proper function of government is to protect individual rights—life, liberty, and property. I believe that life begins at conception, and it is unconscionable that government would sanction the taking of the helpless and innocent."
- National Defense & Civil Liberties
Excerpt: "I have led the fight against big-government initiatives like the Patriot Act, SOPA, CISPA, and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2012."
- Second Amendment
Excerpt: "Congress must halt the unconstitutional practice of restricting a person's ability to purchase, transport, store, or possess arms on public lands or on that individual's private property under the guise of regulating interstate commerce."
- Social Security & Medicare
Excerpt: "We must keep our promises to seniors and not change benefits for those who are currently receiving or soon will receive Social Security or Medicare... We must begin to phase in significant reforms for the benefit of future generations."
- State Sovereignty & Individual Rights
Excerpt: "The federal government should not improperly apply the General Welfare Clause, the Commerce Clause, or the Necessary and Proper Clause to justify regulating activities that are not within its authority."
Despite being considered a possible 2014 candidate, sources close to Amash confirmed that he would not seek the open Senate seat, currently occupied by retiring Senator Carl Levin.[37]
According to a July National Journal report, Amash was expanding his fundraising capacity by traveling to the eastern side of Michigan:
- "...The lawmaker attended a series of fundraisers in the vast expanse known as Metro Detroit—on the opposite side of the state from his district. He met with well-heeled Republican donors in Birmingham, chatted with the Lebanese Chamber of Commerce in Southfield and held private gatherings with a smattering of other business groups, according to a source close to Amash."[38]
Amash won re-election in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Michigan's 3rd District.[39] He ran unopposed in the August 7 Republican primary. He then defeated Steve Pestka (D) and Bill Gelineau (L) in the general election on November 6, 2012.[40]

Paoli could be phenomenal if you end up with the right tract of land. When you hear "rolling hills of southern Indiana," that personifies Orange County and you could have some great elevation changes, not to mention there are tons of little streams running through the area.
As for Harrison County, I was just sitting down in the parking lot at South Harrison Park and imagining the possibilities. There are tons of woods there---about 3 or 4 different patches of woods that could allow for great holes and maybe some open holes between the patches of woods (I'm beginning to prefer wooded holes just because of the shade!) For those who've never been there, (and that's probably just about everyone,) it's kind of a Buffalo Trace without the lake. There are 3 or 4 softball/little league fields there and a swimming pool, and then there is a camping area like BT. For selfish reasons I'm hoping for a course at Hayswood Park in Corydon first but SHP can be great, too.
Get an expanded Buffalo, two other new courses in the county, and we have the option of a BIG tournament like BG Ams because you could use Corydon as the hub and you'd have a course in town (Hayswood,) one two or three miles outside of town (Fun Farm, if you want to use it,) South Harrison about 10 or 15 miles to the southeast, Buffalo Trace 15 miles north, Seviren Lang about that far to the east, and Meade Olin and Otter Creek 15/20 miles to the south.

This is the article:
Some of the solutions I thought:
- Quitting web design and starting an own online business.
- Only accepting jobs offered by professional web/graphic designers.
Any suggestions?
This is the article:
Some of the solutions I thought:
Any suggestions?
I think a lot comes down to having courage.
And in the end, if it happens anyway... remove your name from the end result, write a bill, and move on. After all, it's work, helps pay the rent and if the client insists on wanting crap despite your fighting for good design values, you've done all you could.
Be confident and use your experience to your (and their) advantage
If you are worried about this then the liklihood is that you're professional web designer with a proven track record who's either been forced down this road or have been close to it.
Don't be afraid to tell people that you know what you're doing. Show them something you've done against the wishes of another client. Say what they wanted, why they wanted it and why you told them that you know best, backing it up with results (some of that A-B Google webmaster landing page stuff comes in handy here). And you do know best, as I said, you're a professional web designer with a proven track record. In other words 'grow a pair'!
On the other hand, I let my managing director take over a project about a year ago. I told him that I'd do exactly as he asked with as many changes and ideas he could throw at me. The project was crap and he as much as admitted it. It was disorganised, not well thought out and the results showed it. Now I've got my hands on the company website and I've told him I'm doing it my way, not his... and he agrees with me. Even more than before he's regularly saying things like 'you're the expert' and is asking my advice on all kinds of things.
Stand up for yourself and you'll go far.

Ke$ha's Mother Checks Into Same Rehab As Daughter

Ke$ha's mother plans to check into the same rehab as her daughter, People reports.
On. Jan. 3, Ke$ha entered rehab to receive treatment for an eating disorder. "I'm checking myself into Timberline Knolls today for post-traumatic stress disorder at Ke$ha's urging," Pepe Sebert, 57, told the magazine.
Sebert accuses Ke$ha's producer Dr. Luke for her daughter's eating disorder after he reportedly called her a "refrigerator." "This whole Dr. Luke thing has almost torn our family apart and taken over my life, and Ke$ha wants me to heal along with her."
Best known for songs such as "Tik Tok" and "Die Young," Ke$ha is in the same rehab center that treated Demi Lovato.

Berani, an endangered Malayan tiger cub at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, is in poor but stable condition following emergency surgery Monday night.
The Zoo says the 6-month-old tiger is in acute respiratory distress, and is sedated. He is receiving intensive care from a team of zoo veterinarians, with consultation from outside veterinary specialists.
Berani became lethargic, would not eat and developed a sudden high fever Monday afternoon, said Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium General Curator Karen Goodrowe Beck
Zookeepers immediately called zoo veterinarians, who took X-rays and performed an ultrasound, checking for a possible intestinal blockage.
To be cautious, the veterinary team performed an exploratory surgery late Monday, said Goodrowe Beck.
Four veterinarians, a veterinary technician and multiple other staff members, attended the 74-pound cub through the surgery. Staff kept watch and cared for him through the night.
There was no blockage, but his gastrointestinal tract appears to be very, very irritated, said Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium head veterinarian Dr. Karen Wolf. We believe there may be an infectious process going on, but we re still investigating the root cause of his illness. Following surgery, he developed acute respiratory distress, and we are keeping him sedated and on oxygen therapy.
Our veterinary and zoological staff are working around the clock to care for Berani, Goodrowe Beck said.
Berani, born Aug. 26 of last year, came to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium from The Tulsa Zoo in October to be raised with Dumai, a Sumatran tiger cub born just four days before Berani.
Both cubs were single births. Neither was thriving, and each needed hand-rearing to ensure adequate nutrition.
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium staff members are in close contact with officials at The Tulsa Zoo to keep them informed about Berani s condition and care.
We are saddened by the news of Berani s sudden health decline, but we are confident that he is receiving the best veterinary care at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium s state-of-the-art veterinary facility, said Joe Barkowski, Vice President of Animal Conservation & Science at The Tulsa Zoo. We care for Berani as he is one of our own and our thoughts are with Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium during this time.

Why you should learn Java Programming Language
Resources to learn Java programmingNow, if you decide to learn Java programming, here are couple of resources, which you can take a look. I personally suggest picking a book, because they are almost always well written and catered for beginners. I personally recommend Head First Java to beginners, that's great book to start, if you don't know much about Java. You can also take a look at official Java tutorials offered by Oracle. These tutorials are comprehensive and covered almost all important details of Java programming language. Further you can use Google along with your learning. If you need to understand a particular concept, term or any issue with Java, Google can point you to specific resource. There are lots of blogs, tutorial sites, and free video tutorials on internet to learn Java programming.

Good to hear!
I'm not too sure what exactly is conditional about it. All they had really told us at this point is you either become "conditionally accepted" or "waitlisted". If you're conditionally accepted, the next portion is an orientation.
Thanks. Congratulations to you.
Congratulations to the both of you. I believe the conditional acceptance means, that so far so good, pass the interview, pass the drug tests and everything else and you should be fine. Then your probably on probation for the year. Just a way that their butts are covered in case you f ' up somewhere along the line, they can boot you out without any issues. Politics.......
Just had my interview. Im waiting for the letter in the mail about 10 days.
Glad to hear that your got accepted to apprenticeship school. I went through a UA training program. It was great. Your will learn a lot. Good luck and work hard.

In the two years I have been writing a column for Forbes, no piece has received more responses than the one published just prior to the last presidential election. In it, I made nine predictions regarding the impact an Obama administration would have on the legal landscape, especially with regard to small businesses.
Now that we are at the beginning of a new decade, as well as the president's second year, I thought it would be interesting to see how I did. For those keeping score, I nailed all but one.
I'll admit I like being right. Too bad prescience often comes with a price.

Wonderful stay!
This gem of a house was the perfect getaway for our group - six adults and four children - and could have easily accommodated another family or two! It was just far enough into the country to feel remote and private, but close enough that we went to New Buffalo every day for restaurants and beach time. Beautiful property, and I think I could have spent the entire vacation on that front porch and been content! We would definitely return!

The Role of the Media in the Internet IPO Bubble
2009, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis
Utpal Bhattacharya, Neal Galpin, Rina Ray, Xiaoyun Yu
We read all news items that came out between 1996 through 2000 on all 458 internet IPOs and a matching sample of 458 non-internet IPOs – a total of 171,488 news items – and classify each news item as good news, neutral news or bad news. We first document that the media was more positive for internet IPOs in the period of the dramatic rise in share prices, and was more negative for internet IPOs in the period of the dramatic fall in share prices. We then document that this media hype is unable to explain the internet bubble: there was a 1646% difference in returns between the two groups from January 1, 1997 through March 24, 2000 (the market peak), and the media can explain only 2.9% of that.
Bhattacharya, Utpal, Neal Galpin, Rina Ray, and Xiaoyun Yu (2009), "The Role of the Media in the Internet IPO Bubble," Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Vol. 44, No. 3, June, pp. 657-682.

I think this Hornets "HISTORY" that you speak of is relative. First, all of that history, those memories that come to your mind are probably tied to the Charlotte era Hornets.
Every thing you say only makes a little bit of sense, the only fans that had any reason to be upset was the actual fans in Charlotte, they lost their team because of a crap bag of an owner and didn't get to keep the name in town.
Every time i see somebody on t.v., in a magazine or walking around town, even in this town wearing a throwback Charlotte Hornets hat it just reinforce the idea that this team needs to be rebranded, that history is not the history of the team that plays in New Orleans, the players, coaches and fans of the hornets.
The fact is you say "HISTORY", well if its history, that won't ever change it took place, it's memories that will always be there and they are all tied Charlotte.
The original name, logo and colors will be back where it belongs, if you have no ties to this city and the only thing that matters is the Hornets than it shouldn't matter to you where they play, actually it should mean more that it's old historical name will now return in it's complete form, obviously it doesn't matter who plays for the hornets right, because players have changed over the years.
But I think your biggest problem with just switching teams now once the rebrand happens is that this version of the hornets now have Anthony Davis among other young talent that's heading in the right direction and the idea of supporting the players on the current Bobcat's roster makes you sick right now.

POINT PLEASANT — The victim of last week's shooting in Meigs County might want to be sure to stay on the Ohio side of the river because in Mason County, he's a wanted man.
A warrant was issued for the arrest of Allen R. Brickles, 21, Pomeroy, Ohio, on Sept. 6 after he failed to appear in court regarding a grand jury indictment handed down against him earlier this month in Mason County.
Brickles was indicted for malicious assault, conspiracy, battery five counts, destruction of property two counts, public intoxication and underage consumption. Brickles was charged in a joint indictment which included two other men from Meigs County — James M. Gray, V, 20 and Garrett C. Hall, age unreported, both of Pomeroy. Both Gray and Hall were indicted for malicious assault, conspiracy, battery, destruction of property, public intoxication and underage consumption.
The three men were arrested by deputies with the Mason County Sheriff's Department after an incident which allegedly occurred on the Mason County Fairgrounds during the county fair on Aug. 9. Brickles, Gray and Hall are all accused of committing felony assault by allegedly maliciously wounding L.D. Pyles, age and address unreported, and causing bodily injury to Pyles with the intent to permanently maim, disfigure, disable or kill him.
Also, Brickles is charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly intentionally making physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with five others at the scene. Gray and Hall were indicted for the same charged against one victim.
Last week, as reported by sister newspaper The Daily Sentinel, Neal D. Bonecutter, age 41, of Pomeroy, was arrested for two counts of attempted murder after an altercation at his residence located on Ohio 143. The Meigs County Sheriff's Department reported that Bonecutter shot Brickles in the lower leg and shot at Melissa Dickens as she fled the residence.
Brickles was taken by ambulance to Holzer Medical Center and later transferred to Cabell Huntington Hospital's Trauma Unit. There has been no further update of his condition. Also, a search of Bonecutter and Dickens' residence turned up drugs and a large amount of cash, according to the Meigs County Sheriff's Department. As of last week, more charges were pending, according to Wood.
Brickles was to appear in Mason County Circuit Court last week for his arraignment on the indictment but he was again marked as a "no show." Also, last week in circuit court, Gray and Hall's arraignments were continued to 9:30 a.m., Nov. 14.

Obama talks Petraeus probe, reforming government in post-election news conference
Wednesday - 11/14/2012, 5:36pm EST
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
In his first news conference since Election Day, President Barack Obama took questions from reporters on a range of issues.
Obama said he would work with Congress to avert the fiscal cliff — a combination of tax increases and spending cuts set to go into effect early next year — but that he would not back down on refusing to extend tax cuts for the top 2 percent of income earners.
The President also said he hoped to meet with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney before the end of the year to discuss some of his campaign rivals' ideas for making the government more efficient.
Shifting to the widening sex scandal that ensnared his former CIA director David Petraeus and top military commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, Obama said he has seen no evidence that national security was threatened.
The President also told critics of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, a potential candidate to lead the State Department after Hillary Clinton's expected departure, that they should "go after me" — not her — if they have issues with the administration's handling of the deadly attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya.
Obama: Romney has good ideas on reforming government
President Barack Obama says he hasn't yet scheduled a meeting with Republican Mitt Romney, as he said he would do in his election-night address. But said he hopes to have the chance to talk with Romney before the end of the year.
Obama said the election was only a week ago, and that everybody needs to catch their breath.
"There are certain aspects of Gov. Romney's record and his ideas that I think could be very helpful," Obama said, citing the "terrific job" Romney did overseeing the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.
"That skill set of trying to figure out how do we make something work better applies to the federal government," Obama said. "There are a lot of ideas — that I don't think are partisan ideas — but are just smart ideas ... How do we make the federal government more customer-friendly? How can we make sure that we're consolidating programs that are duplicative? How can we eliminate additional waste?
Obama said he actually agreed with some of Romney's campaign proposals on those issues.
Obama 'open to new ideas' on deficit-reduction
Turning back to the economy, the president vowed not to cave to Republicans who have pressed for tax cuts first passed by George W. Bush to be extended for all income earners. Obama has long opposed extending the cuts for families making more than $250,000 a year, but he gave into GOP demands in 2010 when the cuts were up for renewal.
That won't happen this time around, he said Wednesday.
"Two years ago the economy was in a different situation," Obama said. "But what I said at the time was what I meant. Which was this is a one-time proposition."
The President and Congress are also seeking to avoid across-the-board spending cuts, known as sequestration, scheduled to take effect because lawmakers failed to reach a deal to reduce the federal deficit. Failure to act would slash Defense Department and civilian agency budgets, alike. .
Obama said he was "open to new ideas" but would not allow current tax rates to continue for the top 2 percent of wage earners, drawing a line for Republicans who say they will not tolerate any tax rate increases. Asked if the tax rates for the rich had to return to Clinton-era levels, Obama indicated he was open to negotiations.
Obama makes first comments on Petraeus probe
Obama says he has no evidence that the scandal that ended former Gen. David Petraeus' career had a negative impact on national security and that no classified information was disclosed that would harm national security.
The President spoke five days after Petraeus resigned as head of the Central Intelligence Agency after disclosing he had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. Obama said he hoped the scandal would be a "single side note" in Petraeus' otherwise extraordinary career.
Obama brushed aside questions about whether he was informed about the FBI investigations that led to the disclosures quickly enough. White House officials first learned about the investigations last Wednesday, the day after the election, and Obama was alerted the following day.
"My expectation is that they follow the protocols that they've already established," Obama said. "One of the challenges here is that we're not supposed to meddle in criminal investigations and that's been our practice."
