Van Haaster project gets go-ahead
MURRIETA -- The Murrieta City Council has approved a controversial proposal by the daughter of Mayor Jack van Haaster to build a day-care center and swim school in the west side of town.
The council split 2-2 early Wednesday morning on an appeal of the project after a lively 2 1/2-hour hearing on Rachael van Haaster's plan to build the center at Douglass Avenue and Vineyard Parkway. At least three votes against the project were needed to appeal the city Planning Commission's decision in mid-May to green light the project.
City Councilman Kelly Seyarto said he appealed the project because several residents told him they were concerned about traffic issues related to the center and he thought the City Council should make the final decision.
The project became even more controversial last month when Jack van Haaster acknowledged he had discussed the proposed center with four of the five planning commissioners before the commission's vote on the project.
However, City Attorney John Harper has said van Haaster didn't violate any laws or city policies, although some residents questioned that claim during the hearing at city hall.
"You apparently think we are very gullible," said Diane Cochran on the mayor's role in the project.
Plans submitted to the city call for the center to be built in four phases, eventually serving nearly 400 children. The first phase calls for a 6,000-square-foot building with an office and classrooms that would accommodate 100 children, a swimming pool and a pool office with restrooms.
The second phase would include a 5,000-square-foot building with an infant room and additional classrooms capable of serving 100 more children. That phase also calls for the construction of a second, larger swimming pool for additional swim classes.
Phase three would add a 3,500-square-foot building capable of hosting 99 children. The final phase would put in another 3,500-square-foot building also capable of serving 99 children. Parking spaces and other improvements are also to be built in each cycle.
Before Rachael van Haaster could expand the center beyond 200 children or build the second pool she would have to go back before the Planning Commission to get its approval. No time line for developing the project was available Wednesday.
"This is an ambitious project for me," said Rachael van Haaster, who is also a former member of the Murrieta Valley High School swim team.
City Councilmen Warnie Enochs and Richard Ostling voted to uphold the appeal, while colleagues Doug McAllister and Seyarto chose to deny the appeal, essentially approving the project. Jack van Haaster abstained from the proceedings, as he said earlier this month he would if the issue came before the council.
"I think it's an excellent project, but it's not a good fit for the area," said Ostling shortly after the hearing adjourned at 12:46 a.m. Wednesday.
Ostling and Enochs both said they were concerned about the traffic that the day-care center would generate. Each said they were wary of a traffic study that concluded the proposed center, California Oaks Child Care, would not bottle up the roads leading in and out of the area.

Stephen Drew to begin rehab assignment Thursday
Jul 17, 2013, 6:59 PM EDT
Stephen Drew has appeared in only 66 of Boston's first 97 games this season because of various physical ailments. The hope is that he will have a much healthier and more productive second half.
According to Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal, Drew is scheduled to begin playing in minor league rehab games this Thursday with Double-A Portland. If all goes well, he should be back on the Red Sox active 25-man roster early next week.
Drew has been on the disabled list since June 28 with right hamstring tightness. He also missed time in May with back discomfort and part of April because of a concussion suffered in spring training.
Drew, 30, is batting just .233/.313/.409 with five home runs and 31 RBI in 66 games this season for the first-place Red Sox. The Scott Boras client signed a one-year, $9.5 million free agent deal in December.

It might be an academic question. Drew's injury can be expected to linger far beyond expectations—a family and personal inclination.

I am trying to filter a dataset using a number different inputs, selected by a number of check boxes. I have all the text base rowfilters working, but I can not make the date filter work unless I hard code the datetime into the code. The database is MS Access and I am using VB2008 to show the data. I would like to be able to use a DateTimePicker to set the filter date (without the time part) Also I would need to remove the time section of the datEnterDate. I cannot change the structure of the database fields. Also the datEnterDate is MM/dd/yyyy, because I'm in England I would like to use the format of dd/MM/yyyy if possible
I am trying to make a basic ATM system, iv got all the interface done and I have made the link to my SQL database etc. the part i'm stuck on is how I can run a check to see if a bank card number matches up to the users PIN number. To simulate the user putting a card into the machine I've used a combo box, and that lists all the cards, that haven't been flagged as confiscated (there's a column in my ATMCards table that I can set to true or false) then after the user has selected a relevant card there's another text box where they can enter in their PIN number.
Now what I want to do is, if they chose the card number 1234567890123456 in the combo box and they enter in the PIN 1234 into the text box, then, after clicking the check PIN Button if the pin is correct they need to be taken to another from where they can check their balance etc., and if its wrong they got three attempts after which point i want to flag that card as confiscated.
I got 2 LABELS and ONE BUTTON... when i press the button, it fills both labels with a random number from 1 - 6.ild like to do it like this... you press the button then a little prograss bar starts running for 3 or 4 seconds... and THEN after it reached the bars max i want it to show the numbers in the Labels...
the second thing is...i want to make 2 checkboxes next to the labels... if you mark the first checkbox, next to the first label... and the outcome is that the number of the first label is BIGGER then the other one.. you should get some kind of a msgbox.. i know how to make a msg box... but i dont know the code for vb to check if label1 is > or < than label2....
Part of my assignment is to check if input to Group Number and Number of Units are correct input by making error handling exceptions...
I have to check the following:
a) group number is neither 501 nor 062
b) number of units are NOT numbers
c) number of units is NOT a positive number
So my first question is, am I checking correctly? 2nd question is, How do I make sure my Exceptions will pertain to their correct respective things (a, b, and c.. above)?

I'm reading data in from a comma-separated text file and storing the data in an array for later use. Some of the values are to remain as strings, and I need to convert some to integers, for which I was trying to use, for example, integer.parse(ar(0)).
My problem is that the string values are randomly distributed through the text file, so I need to be able to test whether the string can be converted at all before doing the conversion.
I have class representing a unit of measure with a Decimal as the numeric. Just to simplify things for this example, let's say I'm representing centimeters. I'd like to implement a ToString() method for this class. The thing is, if the numeric value is a whole number I'd like to just display the decimal as an integer. Otherwise, I'd like to keep it as a decimal. So, for example, 10.5D centimeters would display as "10.5cm", but 7.0D centimeters should display as "7cm". I'd like this to be fast and simple to read. I have a working solution, but it seems like there should be a better way.Here's a contrived example showing my first crack at it:
Public Property Units As String = "cm"
Public Property NumericValue As Decimal = 10.5D
Public Overrides Function ToString()

I have a listbox, textbox, and a button. every time I push the button, an item from the listbox is put into the textbox. when the button is pushed again, it grabs the next item in order and puts it into the textbox. so on and so on until it gets to the last item. once I get to the last item it keeps repeating the last item over and over again. SO what I was wondering is how do I get a messagebox or some sort of checker to tell me when it has moved the last item from my listbox to the textbox?? PS textbox2.text=0 and every time the button is pushed another number is added to the value of textbox2.text. so basically if I could figure out how to grab the value of lines at any given time in listbox I could call a msgbox up!! here is the code I am currently using[code]...View 3 Replies View Related

CFN Analysis
Pete Fiutak
- I'll take BCS league teams that had no interest in showing up for $200, Alex.
- 205 yards of total offense and ten net rushing yards. Paul Chryst, you're not going to have the same offensive line next year that you enjoyed at Wisconsin. There's a lot of work to do. A lot.
- Pitt might not have played like a team interested in going to a bowl game, but SMU still showed that it's ready to be a factor in the Big East. Everyone knows that June Jones is about offense, but with time to prepare his defense was dominant. It mauled the Pitt offensive line and controle the game from the start.
- Without Zach Line, the SMU running game struggled throughout the last few games of the season. A hot start, a few nice plays from J.J. McDermott, and the defense allowed this to be over before the second quarter.
- Considering the problems SMU had ove the second half of the season - losing four of five games before having problems slipping by Rice – this was a bit of a shocker. But if you're SMU, who cares? The program is looking like it's on the right track just when it needs to start creating more of a buzz. With the big conference move coming, it's going to be a nice offseason.
- Marshall, Southern Miss, Houston, a close call from Tulsa against BYU, and now this. Conference USA is having a nice bowl season.
- It's not that Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri isn't effective, he's just not efficient. If the Panthers want to push the ball down the field, it's hard to see it because Sunseri is too busy getting hit.
- Again, Chryst, the offensive line. Pass protection is Job One.
Richard Cirminiello
Do not discount the importance of this game to the SMU program. It was a pretty significant win for a school that played awfully in the second half of the regular season, and used Pitt as an ideal measuring stick as it prepares for life down the road as a member of the Big East.
Priority No. 1 for new Pitt head coach Paul Chryst will be to fix the offensive line, which was a blue and gold sieve throughout the season and in Birmingham on Saturday. He's off to a promising start by luring assistant coach Bob Bostad out of Madison.
Although the BBVA Compass Bowl was a wire-to-wire snoozer, the game was hamstrung by both team's best players being out with injuries. If the go-to backs, SMU's Zach Line and Pitt's Ray Graham, were available, the game would have had no choice but to be slightly more entertaining. Slightly.
Despite the victory, SMU head coach June Jones still has plenty of issues on offense that need to be addressed in the offseason. His run-and-shoot attack produced more than 28 points just once in the last seven games, and will need to decide if Kyle Padron is still his quarterback of the future.
Although still just a junior, NFL scouts at Legion Field still took in as much of SMU DE Margus Hunt that they could on Saturday. The 6-8, 295-pounder from Estonia, a small Eastern European country, arrived in Dallas on a track and field scholarship, but has evolved into an interesting project as a pass rusher and kick blocker.
By Matt Zemek
The BBVA Compass Bowl offered one final affirmation of a simple, time-tested truth: Bowl games are crapshoots, chiefly because it's impossible to gauge the level of motivation on each sideline. It made a lot of sense to predict that SMU would be the flat team on Saturday in Birmingham, given the fact that coach June Jones tried to leave for Arizona State, only to hit a late snag and remain the boss of the Mustangs.
When a team – especially a collegiate one – realizes that its coach has wandering eyes, it is very easy to mentally check out of the hotel before kickoff and pack the bags for the bus ride to the airport. SMU figured to go through the motions, while Pittsburgh – whose coach actually SUCCEEDED in fleeing to Arizona State, unlike Jones – figured to bring some fire and vinegar to Legion Field.
Naturally, the above narrative watched in silence as its exact opposite unfolded in this contest. SMU competed as though it was broke, starving, and in search of meal money. Pittsburgh's emotional fuel tank ran on empty, perhaps because of the fact that it was playing in its second straight Compass Bowl, meaning that the Panthers had to endure another very long layoff between the end of the regular season and their bowl game. Logic suggested that Pittsburgh would play this game with more passion, but good luck trying to get inside the mind of a 20-year-old… or any human person, for that matter.

- Whatever June Jones said to his team to get them to buy back in after Jones flirted with other jobs, it worked. SMU looked like a team that was truly excited about playing in the BBVA Compass Bowl, which would make it the first team to ever be excited about playing at Legion Field.
- SMU's pass rush and rush defense were both outstanding. Pitt got absolutely nothing on the ground, and quarterback Tino Sunseri's head was spinning all afternoon. Granted, Sunseri isn't exactly known for his stellar decision-making, but SMU was all over him. Seven rushing yards? Do better, Pitt.
- Is John Swofford really sure about this Pitt to the ACC thing?
- On second thought, it got blown out, so Pitt will fit right in to the ACC.

- Believe it or not, the Big East got the last laugh in this game, as future member SMU throttled Pittsburgh, and dominated every facet of the game while doing so.
- Today's game demonstrates precisely why there needs to be a moratorium on hiring coaches until the end of the season. Due to Todd Graham's departure, and some other coaches leaving for higher profile jobs, Pittsburgh only had four coaches today. That clearly disrupted the Panthers' bowl preparation.
- Inadvertent whistle or not, the officials got the call wrong by not awarding Pittsburgh the ball. The fumble had taken place before the errant whistle blew.
- Paul Chryst's first order of business as the new head coach at Pitt will be to protect the QB. The Panther line allowed an NCAA worst 56 sacks coming into the game, and surrendered 8 more today against a Conference USA defense. That will not win games in any conference – especially the ACC, which has churning out some of the best pass rushers in the nation every year.
- The key to SMU's success today was team speed. No one from Pittsburgh could get any separation against the speedy Mustang defense.
- Speaking of mismatches, why were the Panthers using LB's to cover SMU's slot receivers?
- How much more entertaining would this game have been if Ray Graham and Zach Line had played? With each team depleted by injuries at the RB position, this would have been a welcome sight. Fortunately, both players have an additional year of eligibility remaining.
- Was June Jones trying to send a message when he called for a punt block with a 3 TD lead and only seven minutes remaining?
- Even with the loss today, the Big East will likely hold on to the automatic berth to the BCS in the near future thanks to impressive wins by West Virginia and Cincinnati. The conference will fight tooth and nail to keep the Mountaineers around for awhile.
Phil Harrison
- Hey, maybe this new shiny Big East thing won't stink after all. SMU looks competitive enough, and Boise State will give the conference another feather in its cap. Now about the state of affairs at Pitt....oh, and about the flagship Mountaineer program leaving...
-Is SMU really that much better of a situation and program than Hawaii? June Jones has almost instantly brought credibility back to the Mustangs, you just felt that he would have landed in a bigger spot while shunning and address in paradise.
- You wonder what Paul Chryst was thinking watching this game. The amount of weapons stockpiled at Pitt versus Wisconsin is like comparing the cold war era Soviet Union to a third world country. Good luck Paul.
- Speaking of which, Chryst is more than likely going to bring back the traditional power running attack that old time Pitt is used to. It should fit in just fine with the blue collar town of Pittsburgh.
- Weird stat of the game--How did SMU dominate time of possession while flinging the ball all over the yard? Oh, that's right, neither team ran the ball. The more and more you watch the evolution of college football, you almost have to come to grips with the notion that you don't have to have a running game any longer. And traditionalists are fuming.

Dear Times,
The article published Nov. 20, 2013 (Portsmouth nurse testifies for needle exchange) about our fine government considering funding needle exchange programs causes me to submit my opinion. Not living in a cave and being literate, I've been led to believe by the abundance of press coverage over the last several years that Scioto County is one of the most impoverished and drug riddled counties in the state and that the nation as a whole is trillions in debt and similarly plagued by drug addicts as well as illegal aliens and slackers.
Where the *?# is the logic in giving dopers free supplies to continue their endeavor to harm themselves and be a bane to society? This taxpayer is not unconcerned about the spread of disease but giving clean needles to drug addicts is no guarantee that those who have chosen to fry their brains won't simply throw the needles out the window after they've used them. Stoned people often do stupid things. It is also no guarantee that the addicts will refrain from stealing and robbing for the money required to buy the drugs which the government intends to facilitate the use of. Drug addicts, children, are usually not hardworking citizens.
Drug abuse is a crime but if the offenders are not going to be prosecuted at least round them up and compel them to treatment. Facilitating their addiction and lawlessness is moronic. What's next? Free gloves and masks for burglars? Free condoms and lotions for prostitutes?
Aaron R. Triplett

HOUSTON On the grassy plaza outside the University of Houston s main library, Mayra Sanchez carries a clipboard as she wanders up to students walking between classes.
Excuse me, she says. Are you guys registered to vote?
Perhaps it s a good sign that most of the students she approaches say, yes, they re registered. But quite a few of them say they aren t. And Sanchez has a message.
As you come to the universities, the students, the first thing they say is, Oh, our vote doesn t count because of the Electoral College. she says. But there s other things, too: The local officials, different kinds of bonds that are going to be on this ballot.
All over the world, people have fought and died for the right to vote. Here in the United States, all you have to do is register. But if you haven t already, you need to do it fast.
Tuesday, October 9, is the deadline for registering to vote in the 2012 elections in Texas.
Nobody knows that better than the Harris County employees sitting around a conference table in downtown Houston, ripping and cutting and processing the daily mail delivery of voter registration applications. Some of the applications are sealed with staples and tape applied by voters apparently worried their private information would be compromised.
As the deadline for voter registration approaches, election officials believe Harris County may cross an historic threshold. For the first time, the largest county in Texas may head into an election day with more than two million registered voters.
Of course, this makes sense because we know that the population of the county is growing, Harris County Tax Assessor Don Sumners said. Really, the voter roll has not grown at the same rate as the population has.
By noon Monday, the tax office had 1,967,637 registered voters on file. About 20,000 remained to be processed, officials said, and a large number of applications were still expected to arrive by mail.
It looks like we may very easily make the two million mark this year for the very first time, Sumners said.
Registering to vote is easy. Applications are available at a variety of government offices, including city libraries and county tax offices. But the simplest method of registering to vote is by downloading an application, filling it out and either dropping it off at a county tax office or mailing it in. Click here to access an application.
One very important point: Voter registration applications submitted by mail must be postmarked by Tuesday.
Let me warn you that a lot of the post offices now have final pick-ups that are pretty early in the day, Sumners said. So if you are on the last day, you probably should go inside and get the clerk to stamp it so that it will be postmarked by the 9th.

From Barnes & Noble
When published in hardcover, this provocative tome about human sexuality was greeted by enthusiastic reviews and firm denunciations. In Sex at Dawn, Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá argue that the human urge to sexually stray is built into our evolutionary makeup. To make their points, they draw on evolutionary research about our primate cousins, but also on recent studies of human behavior. Make no mistake though; this is not just a Darwinian discourse: The Spanish husband and wife team maintain that old trade-off between man's protection and possessions in exchange for a woman's fertility and fidelity are now collapsing. New thoughts on monogamy.

No to declawing
- I have two cats - one is an inside cat and the other an outsdie cat. I would no more declaw either of the 'girls' than I would have my fingernails removed.
- —raven1260
We need a better type of owner
- Some veterinarians have argued that some people would have their cats killed if declawing was not an option. We should not, however, allow ourselves to taken 'emotional hostage' like this. If a person really would kill her or his cat in this case, it is reasonable to question the suitability of that person as a feline guardian, especially when there are millions of non-declawed cats living in harmony with people.
- —Commonsenseperson
To Declaw or Not Declaw
- To all that will declaw a cat because it scratches the furniture. You are valuing a piece of furniture over a living breathing little animal. Lets take your nails out and see how painless it is for you. You shouldn't be allowed an animal if you want to declaw.
- —Guest BellaLuna
Declawing Cats should be Illegal
- I believe it is illegal in many places and many vets will not do it. I think it is a terrible thing to do, bordering on barbaric - I would be happy to see anyone who declawed a cat have their fingernails and toenails removed without any anesthetic.
- —Guest Karen
Declawing is actually a painful healing!
- Declawing is extremely painful for cats to heal from; such as getting fingernails removed; honestly, if you have a huge problem with scratch marks, get cat trees or of another material that doesn't match whatever it scratches; use catnip to train it. If that cat slips outside by any chance, it has NO way to defend itself. To say it's not defenseless is stupid. It can't climb trees, it can't get over fences to get away, nothing. There are numerous ways to get your cat de-stressed or show him/her boundaries. If you pro-declawers have patience to research it and actually take the time to look at your cat, you'd see the light; otherwise, you're just lazy and you shouldn't have a cat in the first place. How about I pull out all of your fingernails that won't grow back, and let you walk around on your hands during healing; especially if that was your only defense? Stop being lazy and irresponsible and BE a petowner! Do the research, take the time to train (it's extremely easy). DUH!!
- —Guest NoDeclawer
one declawed one not
- I have two very lovable cats. One I have had for ten years and the other only one year. The older one I had declawed when she was spayed and the younger I haven't had the money to do either yet. The thing I worry about is the accidental scratching. I know cats are clean freaks and they love to clean themselves, but what happens if a human gets sick because a cat scratched him or her immediately following a trip to the litter box? Because of this one issue I am all for declawing. Two of my sister's cats had the tendonotomy, where they go in and cut the tendons used for retracting claws, and I think that that is more cruel than the declaw. If you don't watch the claws of the cat and clip them regularly then the claws can grow into the pads and become very painful. Until there is a better way to permanently stop cats from scratching I will stick to my decision to declaw my cats.
- —Guest Samsmycat
do you plan to declaw your cats?
- The question was on my adoption application and I answered it with bolded, uppercase letters and twice the size: NO I didn't read the article, "The Declaw Dilemma" because -- what's the dilemma? Cats have teeth and claws. That's who they are and what they were created with. I have no right to take them away. If I can't accomodate a cat's need to claw, then I shouldn't be caring for that cat. Depending on how many cats I've had and depending on their clawing habits, I've had over a dozen scratching devices of various kinds around the house. Type, size and placement aren't the same for every cat. If I was a cat and all you did was hang one of those narrow little scratchpads on your closet door on the other side of the house, you can be sure that I'd scratch your couch, too.
- —Guest coaster
- I do not like it. 2 are declawed, but they came to me that way. My bootz is not. Daddy trims them once a month and she used to it and it is daddy daughter time. I would never get my cats declawed. As long as they are properly trimmed and there are things to scratch on cats do not need to be declawed. It is just wrong.
- —catmommy3
Oh please!
- How many of us call surgeons cruel? So the cat undergoes surgery and gets over it. Would you rather the cat live a life outdoors being subjected to parasites and diseases, not to mention cat fights and wounds, even human dangers from people who don't want them around!!! An indoor cat who is loved can give you a lifetime of returned love and happiness and have a life of leisure and contentment that we all long for. But with claws, you have to sacrifice the unintentional scratches, ruined couches and other furniture, etc! They get over the surgery, but not the outdoor dangers. Go to the animal shelter. Adopt a cat. Find love. And it's up to you if you get him or her declawed. Life's too short to argue.
- —Guest CG
Stop it all
- You need to stop all declawing in the US and make it illegal. To those that don't want ruined furniture, deal with it or don't get a cat. Scratching is part of the cat's life-take away a human's finger tips and let them live without writing or art ever again. But the most inhumane thing is to declaw the front and back claws-try running or playing sports without your toes. Declawing should never be done-those that only want declawed cats care more about their furniture than the cats in the first place. If you get scratched, deal with it! Did your parents remove your finger tips and nails because you hurt them when you were young?
- —Guest Declawinghater
it's up to the owners
- we had an indoor/outdoor cat who we had declawed and he was just fine. There were no behavioural changes and he was always a happy loveable guy. He still was able to catch mice outside and inside (we have a very old country home) and he still "scratched" the furniture and stretched so I really don't see the harm in declawing- almost every single cat we've had was declawed and was fine with it. I believe it's up to the owners whether or not they want their cat declawed or not.
- —Guest me
cats outside
- why do people let their cats outside? With the amount of strays and diseases and other dangers they can run into, it seems horrible and cruel to me. I'll sit out on the deck with a leash but never let them run free. You think their claws will stop a coyote or a car? I don't even let my dogs out without supervision. I live just outside Chicago so not rural and there are coyotes here. There are way too many cats roaming and these cats seem to like our garage and my husband's refurbished antique car. Apparently they still have their claws.
- —Guest Concerned
- I have two cats that are adopted. I adopted them already declawed and would not have adopted a cat with claws although I would not have an animal declawed. I live in a 100 year old farm house with a lot of antiques. We have a lot of scratches from previous clawed cats. We trained them but as soon as we leave the house they would let loose. If you are cat owner, you know cats have a mind of their own. Next I just had to mention because I always read people say imagine not having fingertips. Have been a farmer all my life I lost half of two fingers, the tips off the other two and half my thumb on one hand in a tractor incident that is better left unsaid. Guess what? I'm fine. I still farm and have a normal life. Stop with the 'imagine having no fingertips' crap. what do you need them for. manicures? Oh and the only behavior of mine that changed post accident, is I no longer put my hand near tractor blades. I also must say I still feel like I have my entire fingers.
- —Guest Farmer
Declawing cats
- I think it's a very cruel thing to do. If you don't like their nails then you shouldn't have them. None of the vets in out area will do it. That shows just how awful it is... it's like someone pulling your fingernails out!!!! Watch it being done before you decide to do it & I'm sure you will change your mind if you love your cat.
- —gidgit5353
new baby
- My girlfriend insisted on bringing her cat with her when we moved in together. I insisted she get it declawed. She is pregnant and I think that being declawed in a small price to pay in order to stay sheltered, safe, and well fed. God knows that if our baby recieved one scratch from this cat, declawing would seem humane and peta approved as opposed to what would happen to it i got my hands on it.

Justin Bieber has been caught on camera swearing and flipping off two fans at Disneyland -- but it wasn't an unprovoked attack.
Justin and girlfriend Selena Gomez visited the California theme park on Valentine's Day with Justin's family, and attempted to keep a low profile.
But two girls decided to film him anyway, and waited by a ride for Justin to come past.
In the video, which is currently going viral on Twitter and Tumblr, the girls can be seen positioning themselves in front of the ride so they can get a picture with Justin and Selena in the background.
Find out more about Justin and Selena's day at Disneyland
As Justin, Selena and his family approach the girls in a car on the ride, Justin can be heard yelling "stop it please" while Selena covers her face.
As the car enters a tunnel, Justin yells out "fuck you" at the girls and sticks his middle finger up at the girls.
The girls are laughing for most of the video and don't seem too worried about Justin being upset. It doesn't look like the girls in the video are beliebers -- at the start one of them says "I guess we have Bieber fever after all".
Justin's fans have been applauding him for telling the girls off, because he was at the theme park with his family and didn't want little brother and sister Jaxon and Jasmyn to be filmed.
What do you think? Does he have a right to not be filmed on a family trip to Disneyland? Is he just trying to protect his brother and sister?

Patong, Phuket, Thailand
Additional Location Information
Located on the central west coast, Patong is Phuket's premier tourist resort. Fronting the wide shapely bay of the same name, Patong is busy, exciting and alive with resort atmosphere by day and night. Patong presents international cuisines and icy cold drinks beside the beach; chic cafes next to beer bars; exquisite galleries next to muay Thai rings. Like all great Thai spots, Patong is a kaleidoscope of contradictions and almost every Phuket visitor spends some time walking down its colourful streets.
Not five minutes walk from the thrilling resort of Patong, L'Orchidée rests peacefully on a hillside with an elevation that affords endless fresh sea breezes and spectacular scenery. From a full west to south-west facing position at the northern end of Patong beach, most of the villas enjoy 180 degree panoramas of the entire Bay and Phuket's famous sunsets 365 days a year.
The beach is a short walk down the hill and Patong amenities are slightly further, however the estate provides a free shuttle bus to the beach and Patong hotspots. L'Orchidée is approximately 30 minutes from the airport and only 10 minutes from major golf courses, shopping centres and other tourist attractions.

The civic body issued orders to develop 19 reserve sites as parks
Sometime ago the Coimbatore Corporation issued orders to corporate houses, non-government organisations and a few others for the development of 19 reserve sites as parks and 12 traffic islands.
The orders, as on October 22, remain on paper as nothing much has happened since the civic body issued the orders, said sources in the civic body.
The Corporation's novel initiative to rope in players in the private sector to maintain parks started sometime ago.
The meeting saw enthusiastic participation from the representatives of business houses, non-government organisations, residents' welfare associations and others.
This led the Coimbatore Corporation to conduct another meeting in August this year with the participation of a large number of people in the presence of the then Collector M. Karunagaran.
Mr. Karunagaran and Corporation Commissioner G. Latha asked those interested in developing reserve sites and traffic islands to come up with a detailed proposal saying what they intended to do.
On its part the Corporation had prepared two park designs for the interested parties to either adopt or emulate, the Commissioner said and added that the Corporation would provide certain basic amenities.
After the meeting, the Corporation issued orders for the development of 19 reserve sites and 12 traffic islands with certain conditions (for a list of parks see graphic).
The sources said that the promise by corporate houses, non-government organisations and others seemed to be only public posturing for nothing has happened on the ground. The reserve site remained underdeveloped.
This lukewarm response had come at a time when the Corporation was desperately trying to survey reserve sites, take possession and place boards and publish the details thereof on its website to prevent encroachment and also public from being duped into buying those lands.
The Corporation had so far surveyed reserve sites in 22 wards and published the same on its website, on the home page.
The sources added that response had now cast doubts over the Corporation's move to invite more private players to develop more reserve sites.
Ms. Latha said that it was a novel initiative that needed regular follow-up.
She had planned to invite those who had received the orders for development of parks to give a deadline and stick to the same.
The civic body would take a similar action to develop traffic islands, she added.

US drug firms move to bar antibiotic use in livestock growth
Published on Mar 27, 2014 7:14 AM
CHICAGO (REUTERS) - US regulators on Wednesday said that 25 out of 26 drugmakers that sell antibiotics used in livestock feed for growth enhancement have agreed to follow new guidelines that will make it illegal to use their products to create beefier cattle, heftier hogs and other outsized animals.
The companies - which include Eli Lilly & Co's Elanco Animal Health unit, Bayer Healthcare animal health division and Zoetis - have agreed to start the process of removing any growth promotion claims on their products' labelling, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA announced the guidelines in December, as part of an ongoing bid to stem a surge in human resistance to certain antibiotics. Although the guidelines are voluntary, agency officials have said they expect drugmakers to fully adhere and to narrow their products' use.
This labelling shift will ultimately mean that while farmers, ranchers and other agriculture groups can continue to use such drugs to treat sick animals, they will be banned from using them for promoting growth in livestock, according to regulators.

tossing arm
Anyone else have any problems having your tossing arm to be straight up without your toss going all haywire? I'm really focusing on trying to stretch out my tossing arm so its going straight up, also helping my hips to jut out into the court, but its messing with my timing and my toss. My natural tendency is to have my tossing arm to end at about 60 degrees instead of ending straight up. Thanks.
Common problem. With your 60 degree toss you are stopping your tossing arm, somewhat abruptly, shortly after your ball release. It's almost as if you are chucking the ball, or heaving the ball, up into the air. It should be more like you are lifting the ball or placing it into the air rather than throwing into the air.
Start the upward motion of the toss with the tossing hand close to your front thigh. Lift the arm up at an even, moderate pace. The speed of the tossing arm should be just fast enough to get the toss height that you desire. Release the ball just as your arm goes past parallel (to the ground). You can use your chin level or some other appropriate reference for your release. Just open your fingers to release the ball. Let your hand/fingers follow the released ball until your arm is vertical.
You should not be lifting your arm in the direction of the intended target area. You could lift your arm parallel (or nearly parallel) to the baseline as many elite servers do. If this is too extreme for you, try lifting it at some intermediate angle wrt to baseline -- perhaps 30 degrees to 45 degrees.
Execute a lot of practice tosses (w/o swinging at it). Toss so that the released ball follows a slight arc that you can catch in your outstretched hand (vertical arm). This would represent a good toss (particularly for a 2nd serve). Toss and catch in this manner until you develop a consistent toss.
You might try the Federer "ice cream cone" toss. His lifts his hand so that it is more on the side of the ball rather than underneath it. This technique should help to prevent you from flipping your wrist (or bending your elbow) as you lift/release the ball. The lifting action should should be from the shoulder (w/o bending other parts of the arm).
SystemicAnomaly, that's a great video (and comment). Thanks..
Hmmm. After watching that I realize just how bad at tennis I am. :)
I would love to see some slow-mo video of myself playing.
I read that the tossing arm wrist should be laid back/bent towards the index knuckle at the end of the toss. Is this supposed to it help with toss consistency?
As an example, here's Djok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwdwQ29Qae0&t=20s
Instead he releases it with the palm under his hand like Nadal and probably the majority of tennis players.
However using this type of toss, you can see the obvious anguish experienced by Nadal :wink:
Biomechanics is the study of how our muscles and joints work.
Biomechanics would tell us that it is difficult to maintain the hand and forearm with the palm pointing up (supinated) as we bring the ball up for a toss.
In fact, I think everybody can appreciate bringing the ball up in the "ice cream toss" position feels less stressful, with the foream and wrist more relaxed. And the video of Brent Abel at the end of this post makes the great point that the feeling of stress raising the tossing arm causes many to fail to get the steep shoulder angle needed for the serve.
The uncomfortable feeling in raising our arm high with the hand supinated has to do with the way the musculature, bones and joints of our arms, wrists and hand are put together.
The following picture shows the most comfortable position of our hands to work which is known as the "position of function". (It is preceded by pictures of our hands/forearms in "supination" and "neutral" positions, with a picture of "supination" following.
The "position of function" is how we hold the steering wheel and how we position our hands to do fine work that requires close cooperation using both hands so that the thumb and index fingers of both hands are close to one another [which is probably why our arms/forerarms/hands evolved to work this way].
Bringing the ball up in a "neutral" position is actually the most comfortable practical way of raising up a ball to toss it. (Elevating the ball in the "position of function" is not practical since the hand in that orientation would not allow the ball to be released upward.)
So why don't more use the "ice cream toss"?
Undoubtedly habit, as most never thought of releasing the ball from the side of their hands, as they had always released the ball from the palm of their hands when throwing it forward. So it is my guess as to why most grip the ball the same way to toss it upward.
Clearly some have really good consistent tosses without using the "ice cream toss".
But for those having difficulty with their toss, trying the "ice cream toss" may be in order.
Tennis Serve Toss - How to Hold the Ball http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8kyn...eature=related
All instructive and great points, SA and charliefederer. One thing I've noticed is that a slight rocking motion where the tossing hand loads up a little at the bottom of its path helps greatly with accuracy. Sure, one can also begin the toss with a completely "unloaded" arm, but I have found it to lack control. Not sure if this is just idiosyncratic, or is a general principle... could you comment on it? Thanks.
"Tip #2: Don't "arm" your ball toss!
We've all been told not to "arm" our groundstrokes and serves.
Instead, the hitting arm motion should be preceded by a big body motion (coiling), to generate the initial energy in hitting the ball, with the arm swing following the reversal of the big body motion (coiling to uncoiling).
So too on the toss, a big body motion to initiate momemtum followed by a reverse of the big body movement, helps get the arm going up. But in the case of the toss, the motion is not coiling, but instead first leaning into the court, then leaning back, to helps get the arm going up!
Go back to that video of all the pros serve tosses. Note that all first lean into the court, then lean back.
Federer's lean in and lean back is more exagerated than most, but as usual, Fed is not wasting motion here:
When leaning in (pics 1,2 above), the tossing arm is going to going to be very low.
When leaning back, the tossing arm is going to start to rise as the shoulders and hips go from a downward slant (pic 1 above) to no slant of the shoulders/hips (pic 2) to an upward slant (pic 3).
This reversal of the shoulders/hip from a downward to upward slant provides the momentum to get your tossing arm moving upward.
The result is that you don't have to work hard on your toss if you let your big body movement help supply the energy.
[To those who have already noticed this "lean in" is actually "forming a bow shape" forwards, with the 'lean back" going all the way past vertical to forming the "bow shape in the opposite direction in the trophy pose - see tip #4 below - only to reverse again through the hitting motion.]
Watching the video helps to emphasize the "lean in" and "lean back", and how the toss is intrinsically interwoven with getting into the trophy position:
Roger Federer - Serve in Slow Motion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4PfHpKbJSI
Tip #3: The tempo of how fast you lean back, from your initial lean in, determines how fast to elevate your tossing arm.
Every orchestra needs a conductor, and every conductor has a baton to set the tempo of the music.
Your tossing arm is should be going up at a constant speed, and your tossing arm acts as the baton to set the tempo to your serve.
Tennis Serve Tossing Motion Tempo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZp9...feature=relmfu
How fast your tossing arm movement should move comes from how fast you lean back (pic 1 to pic 2 above) in the initiation of the toss.
[Lean back too fast, and your tossing arm will move up too fast, and the ball will go too high.
Lean back too slow and your tossing arm will move up too slow, and ball will not be tossed high enough.
Lean back "just right" and your tossing arm will move up at "just the right" speed to get your toss to the right height.]"

^^^ Thanks! Makes a lot of sense, and I can relate to it first hand!
More important than technique is the ability to toss the ball exactly where you want it...even if your arm can only raise to 45 degree angles above your head.
Accuracy is paramount.
I haven't chased a serve toss or caught a ball in over 35 years, and my arm doesn't ever point straight up, due to injuries to the shoulders.
Picture where you want the ball. Flat, top/slice, top, kick. Place it there.
Does having a vertical tossing arm automatically put you into the ideal trophy bow-shaped pose? One thing that is also hard to do is to be in that pose, up onto your toes which, if you're not used to it, will throw you off balance. Look at all pics of the pros -- they are on their toes, their arms straight up in the air, their bodies in this "cocked" bowed shape. Is this a pose that is doable for us mere mortals? The more I try to get up onto my toes like that, the more I feel I'm going to topple over.
Also, becoming aware of how the weight of your body changes from the front foot to the back one and then to the front one again before getting into the air helps with keeping the balance under control.
^^ You are actually on the balls of your feet -- not your toes.
Mere mortals can achieve this pose/position. I'm am currently 60 years old and can actually hold this position for quite a while (easily 20 seconds or longer). My balance is still decent but not really exceptional by any measure. I am primarily a lefty server but I can also hold a righty trophy pose just as long. I can do this balancing act in either a platform or a pinpoint stance. My left shoulder, left hip flexor and both knees are bad and my level has dropped quite a bit since my mid 50s (down to ~4.0). But I am still able to achieve the position without any trouble at all.
Note that Roger has not yet achieved the archer's bow in the image above. (If you take a look at the 4-image sequence in CF's post above, you will see the Roger pushes his hip forward for the bow slightly later). With your weight on the balls of your feet, your heels are off the ground and your are knees bent. Your center of mass (located in your gut slightly below your belly button) should be directly over your platform (or pinpoint stance) between your feet. This should enable you to balance in the trophy position indefinitely.
If you still have problems with this, try holding the pose in front of a mirror. Once you master that, try it w/o the mirror. The ultimate test is to try to hold the position for several seconds with your eyes closed. Hope this helps.
Roger doesn't push his hip forward. He pushes the balls of his back foot against the ground (where more than 50% of his weight is resting at that moment) and as a result his hips move forward. However, the more important thing to put attention to on the photo is that Roger's knees are not at the same high level at that moment which is key for achiving balance and power.
Another thing to note in the photos you are seeing is the shift in the center of mass/gravity in the body, which starts on the front foot, shifts rearward and comes back to the front all in the same motion, in time with any leaning that is done. The rising to the toes is often proportional to (and compensates for) the degree of knee flexion to maintain balance, but also aids in release of kinetic energy.
Ive found that taking the arm to vertical after release of the toss serves two purposes: one, it creates and maintains the shoulder tilt that allows for the forceful reversal in the shoulder over shoulder tumble that is part of a mechanically correct serve. If your shoulders are level, then the upper part of your racquet arm will need to elevate above the plane of the shoulders, which can lead to injury with force and repetition.
Second it helps create and maintain your stored kinetic energy for release. Raising your arm to vertical with your weight back will tend to force your hip forward to maintain balance, creating the archers bow It also helps keep the trunk rotation and your hitting arm back a bit longer for a more forceful release. Dropping your tossing arm too soon invariably costs you your rotational energy, and many pros will tell you to leave it up as long as possible.
For the tossing arm to be straight more than arm should help as well. Control of the shoulder girdle, oblique and ab muslces, and pelvis orientation all contribute to the arm to be able to be straight in trophy position. Without all these coordinations just trying to straighten arm will cause inconsistency and loss of control and even injuries.
If you wanna imitate pros, instead looking at their arms and legs look at their trunk orientation and movements first.
Note that the archer's bow is evident for some servers at the trophy phase while others do exhibit the bow until the racquet head drop (after the trophy position).
I'm not sure that I buy the premise that Roger has more than 50% of his weight on his back foot at the trophy phase of his serve. The bottom line is that his hips do move forward as the racquet head drops from the trophy position. Roger's "bow" is mild -- his is not really the best example of an archer's bow. The bow is usually much more evident with players that utilize a narrower platform, like Roddick, and players who employ a pinpoint stance. Sampras had a bit more of a bow that Federer but probably not as much as Roddick or Ivanisevic and other pinpointers.
Here is another pinpointer with a very obvious archer's bow:
I was clearly refering to Roger's plataform stance. Now you are talking about pinpointer stance which uses a total different approach in terms of weight distribution. (apples to oranges kind of comparison) Because the weight distribution is different, the arche's bow is also different (more pronounced in the pinpointer stance) in order to keep the balance.
It's pretty obvious that any player can get more angular archer's bow using a pinpoint stance than he can easily get with a platform stance. Something called human biomechanics.
Does that suggest which stance you should try?

Mom to two perfect kids surrogate to two sweetpotatos born 4.21.11
I love someone with ataxia telangiectasia http://www.atcp.org
We had a breech at work the other day. I know that the mom labored for hours and the OB broke her water at 8-9 cms. Still thought baby was vertex. Then came the hand full o mec. They took her to OR and she was able to deliver breech. She was 16 and a g2. I am so glad that this breech was hidden...she would have been a section immediately. The vulva on the baby was so ouchy...It was the presenting part. Luckily, our OB works in a family practice clinic and they tend to keep hands off moms who are making progress. They will wait to AROM until they are closer to delivery.
The next day we had a footling. Same OB, went to section.
We think green! Gentle mama to 3 amazing kiddos. Recovering from religion.

Hello everyone It's a Friday night and I'm feeling alright so I thought I'd write out an update just as we approach the middle of the year~
Time is flying and some pretty big milestones in my life are coming up. I'm turning 18 in September and my Year 12 exams are in November. University plans have been going back and forth in my head but for now I'm trying to take it all one day at a time. it's only gonna get tougher from here but I'm confident I can smash through it.
Cosplay time: I've been laying low since Supanova due to studies but I had some time last weekend to attend a gaming tournament in Melbourne with which was pretty fun and may have opened up a few awesome opportunities for us in the future (Can't say anything for now)
I've been organizing my next couple of costumes: I really want to pump out Kilik (Soul Eater), Tiger Jackson (Tekken) and Zimos (Saints Row 3) as quickly as possible. I haven't decided if I want to shoot the latter two or just keep them con-exclusive. Not to mention, it's essentially winter here so shooting Kilik will be tough ><
After those costumes are done and dusted I'm not sure what will be next. I've decided that planning ahead for future conventions only really leads to stress and the guilt of obligation tends to kick in. Although, I have been toying with the idea of a League of Legends cosplay at some point; I love the game too much to pass up that sort of opportunity haha.
The next couple of conventions here are Oz Comic-Con, PAX Australia, SMASH and Manifest, all in such rapid succession of each other. I've only really been getting hyped for PAX (for reasons I can't say yet) but I'm hoping that I make the right decisions as to which to attend and ensure time isn't wasted and fun is had. Not to mention, during that end of the year I'll (hopefully) have my head down cramming in the study in preparation for November.
What else? I think I'm starting to appreciate cosplay more and trying to not think of it as a competition. One of my problems was that I was being very judgmental of others and it was incredibly wrong for me to think like that. Who am I to judge others? I now remember to keep myself grounded and that I cosplay because it's fun. Plain and simple. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. I know I'm not great at sewing or making props. What I enjoy most about cosplay is the amount of friends I've made and witnessing the different experiences and perspectives that others bring.
I love being friends with some incredible Australian cosplayers that I look up to and ever since I've started cosplaying there's just been so much support in general. I love the community that encompasses cosplay. Being able to even tweet cosplayers like Maridah about random stuff is something that's just so amazing to me.
Everyone brings something new to the table when in cosplay and we can all learn from each other. If not, how would be progress?
I like bringing characters to life and to leave my normal boring self at home for a day or a weekend. I'm never really happy with my costumes even when they're completed but if others like them and it makes them laugh/smile, then that's really more than enough for me.
So, as I wrap this up, I just want to say thanks. To all the people who like and follow my photos on Facebook and deviantArt, to everyone that enjoys my costumes whether at a convention or otherwise, to everyone who has given me tips and work on costumes, to everyone who's had to put up with my complaining the week before the con >< I'm not the most popular person but I'm so grateful for everyone for being so awesome.
I hope everyone enjoys what I do as much as I do and I'll continue to make people proud/laugh/smile/whatever it is I do best
Until next time~
