Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 9 Recap: Ezra Might Have a Secret Kid!
As sung by Ezra (Ian Harding), to the tune of Justin Bieber: "And I was like, 'Baby, baby, baby, no!'"
In this week's episode of Pretty Little Liars (Season 3, Episode 9: "The Kahn Game"), Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) prove that the best part of breaking up is making up; CeCe demonstrates that guys are not interested in her for her mind; and Hanna's mom gets Ted to do the dishes (way to crack that whip, Ms. Marin!).
Wherein Aria Learns That The Words "Maggie" and "Baby" Don't Just Refer to The Simpsons
So much pregnancy drama this season! First, we had Melissa (Torrey DeVitto) faking her pregnancy, and then we learned about a pregnancy that Aria wishes had been faked. Come to think of it, Ezra was involved in all kinds of sketchy behavior this week, including his (somewhat dubious) claim that he's getting back his Jag — along with the fact that he once, uh, slipped one past the goalie.
And let's talk about this brand spankin' new bro of his, shall we? The younger Fitzgerald — a.k.a. Wesley — is a bit sneaky but just as hot as we could have imagined. In fact — and don't hate us for this! — he might actually be hotter than Ezra himself. Let's just say that learning that Ezra has an even-dreamier brother is like when we were kids and loved drinking milk, and then we found out about chocolate milk. Consider our minds blown.
And a note to Ezra: Some things are okay to keep from your significant other, but having knocked up your high-school sweetheart and having your mom "take care of it" ain't one them. More acceptable lies to tell your girlfriend include, "I don't know why that bottle of medicated foot powder is in my bathroom, someone must have left it there," or "I swear, someone probably photoshopped my face onto this picture so that it looks like I used to play clarinet in my high school's marching band."
Wherein Spencer And Jenna Play The World's Angriest Round of "Truth or Dare"
We apparently get one crazy Noel Kahn (Brant Daugherty) party per season, right? We don't remember any sinister-looking eye stamps at Season 1's kegger or Season 2's Halloween party — which Noel's brother's friends were also at, mind you — but we did see that the stamp was being used upon admission to this party, as Aria and Spencer learned.
So why is Spencer the only high school student in America who will only go to a party if she thinks she it will get her into college? Lighten up, girl! And CeCe got Spencer to attend that party by promising that she could meet her friend Steven, but we're thinking that CeCe's friend "Steven" has a lot in common with CeCe's sense of decency (in that neither one seems to exist).
Isn't "Truth or Dare" usually fun? Well, it sure isn't fun at the Kahn residence, between Noel trying to incriminate Ezra, and then Spencer promising Jenna to exchange a video for Ali's body — plus Noel admitting that he and Jenna found Emily at a diner. Come to think of it, the only game that seems less fun than this version of "Truth or Dare" is a game where someone can force you to watch a terrible film of their choosing, called "Jason Statham Movie or Nicolas Cage Movie."
Wherein Hanna Finds Out Who "A" Is!!! (But, Uh... Not Really)
Haleb forever! Seriously, that make-out sesh between Hanna and Caleb was hotter than the sun. And Hanna might as well go ahead and tell Caleb about that she kissed Wren last week, since "A" is probably already in the process of texting Caleb about the kiss as we speak. (A note to Hanna: The whole "We were on a break" thing didn't really seem to work for Ross on Friends, so you may want to try a different excuse.)
Who knew that Hanna would be so turned on by Caleb claiming to be "A"? (Off with Hanna's jacket!) And Caleb seemed surprisingly chill about the fact that "A" was the one who tried to run his mom off the road. He's like, "What doesn't kill her makes her stronger. Anyway, are we gonna hook up in the alley or what?" And speaking of Montecito, it's quite the coincidence that CeCe arrived from L.A. just after Caleb's mom's accident happened, dontcha think?
Wherein Emily Watches the Saddest Videos Ever (Not Counting the Nicholas Sparks Movies)
We're still suspicious of both Emily's ex Maya and her current squeeze Paige, which just goes to show that Emily might not have the world's most careful screening process when it comes to her love life. However, it was great seeing both Maya and Paige this week, between Emily watching Maya's touching videos and then getting comforted by Paige. But only Paige could tell a story about an old man getting naked and have it help the situation.
And we can't help but try to decipher any hidden clues in Maya's video messages. For example, Maya mentions that Emily is an old soul and that she can hear clocks running backwards. We can't hear the word "clock" without thinking of the clock tower that Ian chased Spencer in, so we wonder if perhaps Maya could have known some secret about that? Or perhaps Maya was just trying to remind Emily to set her clock back for daylight savings.
- Welcome to Season 3, Noel Kahn! (Now can you go away for good please, Noel Kahn? Thanks a bunch.)
- We keep getting more information about "That Night," and this week's new info was that Noel was with Jenna, and that they saw Emily at a diner instead of the side of the road. So it appears that it was Noel — and not Holden — whom Em remembers seeing in the diner with the stamp on his hand. But who was Jenna trying to protect by lying about the diner?
- There were some juicy factoids during the "Truth" game between Spencer and Jenna. For example, Jenna wants the video that the Liars have. It's also clear that Jenna and Garrett have some really bad blood between them. Also, when Spence asks Jenna what else she lied about regarding "that night," Jenna is silent and seems to make eye contact with CeCe. So was CeCe there "that night" — or is Jenna just kinda rusty with how eye contact works?
- The Liars bring up an interesting point when they mention that they never heard Ali talk about CeCe, given that Ali would have been the type to flaunt her friendship with a hot older girl. So is it possible that CeCe is just pretending to have known Ali and is pulling a fast one on our girls? Keep in mind that CeCe previously mentioned that Ali told her that Hanna is a klepto, but Hanna only started utilizing the five-finger discount once Ali disappeared. Sounds fishy to us.
- Speaking of CeCe, we couldn't help but get suspicious when Noel's brother Eric mentions that CeCe got him to steal a car. Could this be a relevant detail that's related to "A" somehow, given all the auto mishaps over the years? Also, we couldn't help but remember that, at Noel's party in Season 1, Hanna stole a car from her boyfriend Sean. (Remember Sean? We certainly don't miss that dude!)
- We're now thinking there's a chance that CeCe didn't really give the application to Steven. Which is more likely — that Steve popped up at the party to receive the application and then disappeared faster than a mole in Whac-a-Mole, or that CeCe was the person who sent Spencer that email and is just messing with her? Yes, we think that CeCe might be the messer, and Spence is the messee.
- Did CeCe tamper with Aria's phone just before she gave it back to Aria at the coffee place? It was hard to tell, but as Em learned a few weeks back, CeCe is not to be trusted with your phone. She would probably even try to tamper with a tin can and string that belongs to a little kid.
- What's is the deal with Ms. Marin's new man Ted? We can't be the only ones who think that he's in cahoots with Wilden, right? We already knew that he knows Wilden, and it can't possibly have just been a coincidence that Ted was hanging out right across the street from Mrs. Hastings law firm where he spotted Hanna's mom — or that he recently dated Ella. Plus, he seemed to be a little too inquisitive about Hanna ... y'know, right before he frenched her mom.
- Remember when Ezra was the "Greatest Guy on Earth"? Those days are looong gone, as he is now no longer trustworthy at all. (Maybe that makes him a "Handsome Little Liar"?) Like, is he really getting the money from his mom to buy that car back, or could he actually be getting the money from Jason — and perhaps it's Jason whom Ezra was really meeting with when Wes picked Aria up? Oh, Ezra — why can't you still be Mr. Perfect?
- So what's the real reason why Maya had a standing invite to the stamp parties? And what clues can we glean from Maya's cryptic video messages? As we mentioned, her "clocks running backwards" comment calls to mind the clock tower, while her "pyramids" comment calls to mind Ali being buried alive, much as people were in the pyramids. Perhaps this is a sign that Maya did in fact know who killed Ali? Or maybe it's just a sign that Maya was a fan of the Brendan Fraser film The Mummy?
- Paige had a touching scene at the end of the episode with Emily, but we're still having a tough time trusting her. Case in point: When Paige mentions that her mom found a video camera, we can't help but think of the NAT Club, whose members were quite fond of video tapes. Plus, "A" would definitely have a few video cameras lying around. Just sayin'.
- Also, we know that Paige claimed that Emily's mom let her into their home when Paige pokes her head into Em's room. But we're suspicious that Paige is part of the "A" team, so we wouldn't be too surprised if Paige had somehow snuck in. (Might be time for the Fields household to invest in an alarm system. Or at least a musical doormat.)
Other Things That Need To Be Discussed:
- We love how CeCe asked if douchebaggery runs in the Kahn family. We wanted to tell Cece, "Uh, Noel busts out his acoustic guitar whenever he's trying to impress a girl. So what do you think it says about his level of douchebaggery that his idol is apparently John Mayer?"
- It was sweet that Paige comforted Emily with that story about her grandma mooning the camera. However, it wasn't the most pleasant mental image. Let's just say that there are plenty of guys on this show whose naked butts we want to picture. (And no, they don't involve wrinkly tulip tattoos.)
- How does Spencer — of all people! — forget to send in her college application? That's like Santa Claus waking up on the morning of December 25 and saying, "I just know there was something I was supposed to do today. Oh, that's right! I was supposed to pick up my armchair from the reupholstery place." (Let's assume for the moment that Santa Claus is a big fan of reupholstered furniture.)
- Did Aria really need to wear that top with the rib-cage design on it? On this show, you don't exactly want to encourage people to picture you as a corpse, since you could possibly end up as one at any moment.

Posts Tagged 'New York Yankees'
Back in April, Jimmy Fallon had an amusing segment on The Tonight Show that showed just how quickly fans could turn on a brand—and how quickly they could be won back. When I watched the segment again this week, I realized that it had parallels to our online interactions.
The segment starred Robinson Cano, a baseball star who had played with the New York Yankees for nine seasons until signing a $240 million contract with the Seattle Mariners late last year.
To diehard Yankees fans, Cano is a traitor who abandoned his team in order to chase a giant paycheck. So when he came back to New York as a Mariner to play against his former team, the locals weren't exactly happy to see him.
Fallon's team set up a life-size cardboard box featuring Cano's image and encouraged Yankees fans to boo him—but the fans didn't expect the real-life Cano to pop out of the box. Trust me: this is hilarious.
Why did that happen? Why did so many fans boo Cano until he popped out of that box, at which point they wanted to shake his hand and hug him? And more to the point: Doesn't the same thing happen on social media all the time?
I've often found that when people use harsh language to criticize something I've written, their tone softens when I engage with them. It's easy to boo a cardboard box (to post a rant onto my Twitter feed or the comments section of my blog), but it's harder to boo an actual person (me, when I offer a polite response to their criticism).
There are certainly times when this doesn't work and a response will simply inflame your critics. But in The Media Training Bible, I mentioned a survey that contained some rather surprising results:
"According to a 2011 Harris Interactive study, unhappy customers quickly forgave companies that responded to them. Thirty-three percent of customers who left a negative review on a shopping website ended up posting a positive review after receiving a response, while another 34 percent deleted the original review."
If you rarely interact with your critics, try it. You don't have to engage people who are vulgar, who have engaged in name calling, or are clearly online trolls—but if the person seems reasonable enough, you might be happily surprised by your ability to turn them around as quickly as Robinson Cano did his naysayers.

The New York Yankees have won more World Series championships than any other baseball franchise in history.
But that's no guarantee of media success, especially because the "Bronx Bombers" play in arguably the world's most challenging media market. Anyone who's glanced at the front cover of the New York Post or New York Daily News knows just how cruel the New York press corps can be.
It turns out that the Yankees have reacted to intensity of the media spotlight in exactly the right way. According to Paul White of USA Today, the Yankees might just have the best media training program in baseball.
"No team in baseball gets more attention and scrutiny. And no team goes to greater lengths to make sure its players are prepared to deal with the media and avoid the trouble that can accompany their positions with one of the most-followed sports franchises in the world.
'We want to be the guardrail at the top of the cliff,' says general manager Brian Cashman of his team's media training program. 'Rather than the ambulance at the bottom.'
He mandates the first act of spring training every year for Yankees players is watching a 25-minute video as part of their media training. They also receive a four-page handout, which includes advice from journalists and former Yankees, plenty of examples of how not to deal with the media and photos of all the journalists who regularly cover the team."
Mr. White's terrific article included (at least) four additional points worthy of mention:
1. Stay In Your Lane: In the handout, pitcher Andy Pettitte offers players this advice: "To save yourself a little grief and a headache, stick to baseball." That squares with advice I've often given on this blog for spokespersons to "stay in their lanes." If you speak about controversial issues, you're going to create a distraction similar to the one Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas sparked earlier this year, or that Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen recently caused when he spoke about his affection for Fidel Castro.
2. Twitter Doesn't Kill People, Tweeters Do: Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher says in the Yankees training video that: "Twitter is like having a gun. If you take care of it, you're OK. But you can shoot yourself." That's good advice, as everyone from Anthony Weiner and Gilbert Gottfried to Chris Brown and Roland Martin have learned the hard way.
3. Remember Your Audience: Former pitcher Mike Mussina says in the handout that he "didn't adjust very well at the beginning. It doesn't say in your contract that you have to be hospitable to the media, but they're the ones that communicate with the millions of fans on a daily basis." Mussina eventually learned how to interact well with the press, even becoming a media favorite. He learned something I discuss on this blog a lot: that reporters aren't the audience – the audience is the audience.
4. Don't Leave Loose Ends: Finally, the handout dispensed one final phrase of wisdom that represents a perfect ending to this post: "That which is not resolved today will find you tomorrow."

After 15 years as the everyman singer for Death Cab, he's finally setting out on his own—at least for one album: Former Lives. "Over the years, I've accrued a number of songs that I've always been very fond of but didn't fit tonally, lyrically, musically in with the palette of songs that were in front of us for a Death Cab for Cutie record," Gibbard said during an interview on NPR's All Things Considered. Some of the songs, like "You Remind Me of Home," have leaked out over the years and snuck into emo kids' playlists; others are new for fans.
Ben Gibbard plays the Crystal Ballroom on Sunday, November 18. Damien Jurado opens.

Google's Field Trip App Brings the Guidebook to Google Glass
Aug 21, 2013 12:06 pm
Skift Take
There is a natural fit with the tech and the information, but how many people really want someone lecturing you about what you're seeing when you're having fun with your friends on the river, or anywhere else for that matter?
Google has just released a version of Field Trip for Glass Explorers, meaning the Niantic Labs project that offers users fun destinations, tips, facts and other information about the world around now has a very logical place on the computer you wear in your face that constantly whispers in your ear.
It's so logical, in fact, that Field Trip was actually originally designed for Glass, according to Niantic Labs boss John Hanke speaking to CNET. In a video demoing the Field Trip on Glass experience, you can see how the app works in action as you day trip around and do fun things like hike through Napa Valley. It seems like a pretty good fit based on that demo, though how it works in person is likely somewhat less idealized.

In an unexpected move, AT&T just announced that it's acquiring T-Mobile, the fourth largest national mobile provider (in terms of subscribers), and the only other carrier operating on the GSM band.
Yes, AT&T will spend over $39 billion to add another 34 million subscribers to their existing 95 million. This will, without a doubt, allow them to secure their spot as the largest US carier for quite a while, with Verizon definitely stuck at the second spot with its 94.1 million users.
So what does it mean? Well, first of all this means coverage. Of course, the iPhone can only place calls and use EDGE on T-Mobile's network. Yet, in the few areas where AT&T can't reach, this might actually make a difference. Also, it's likely that T-Mobile will now adapt its network to become more compatible, or at least help build a stronger 4G network with AT&T.
Last, it means T-Mobile customers will now become AT&T's and therefore have access to the iPhone. All this will happen once the deal goes through, that is as soon as the government says they're good to go, if they approve it at all.
Excited? Tell us what you think in the comments!

AIDS researchers have launched a high-profile attack on a large US government trial of an HIV vaccine taking place in Thailand.
The fight over trials began in 2002 when both the US National Institutes of Health and the defence department were planning to go ahead with separate trials of the same combination vaccine. AIDS researcher John Moore of Cornell University in New York attacked the double trial as useless duplication. A few months later the government cancelled one of them for reasons officials said were unrelated to Moore's criticism. The NIH went ahead with plans for the trial in Thailand.
This $119 million study, which will involve 16,000 volunteers, was launched in September 2003. Now it, too, has come under fire. Moore and 21 other prominent AIDS researchers argue that new results strongly suggest the combination vaccine will not work. They say going ahead with a final or Phase III ...

THE POLE STAR is changing rapidly from a star that pulsates into one that is stable, according to astronomers in Canada. This discovery confirms theories that stars vary in brightness during only a small portion of their lifetime.
Astronomers at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, first began to suspect that the Pole Star was changing in 1987. They say we are very fortunate to catch the change, because the Pole Star has been pulsating for around 40,000 years and theory predicts that its pulsations should die away in a period of only 10 years.
The Pole Star, known officially as Polaris, has always been a favourite target of astronomers because it is immediately above the North Pole, and so its position remains fixed in the sky as the Earth turns. In the mid-19th century, however, astronomers discovered that although its position was constant, its brightness was not: it varied ...

I already checke the permissions on the ad-object and made sure inheritable permissions are allowed. I tried to give the user, who tries to move the mailbox full access to the mailbox. The user is exchange organization admin and domain admin.Move-Mailbox : Error was found for LastName, GivenName (email@example.com) because: Error occurred in the step: Opening source mailbox. Unable to lock mailbox with error: An unknown error has occurred., error code: -1056749257
Has anyone another idea, what to check to make this mailbox move run?
What I not have tried but what I will in the last if nothing else works is:
- Export the mailbox contents to pst
- disable the mailbox on 2007
- create a new mailbox for the user on 2010
- import the pst to the new mailbox
- disable the mailbox on 2007
- create a new ad object for the user
- connect the disabled mailbox to the new user
- try to move the mailbox to 2010
But this I only will do if nothing else works... I hope someone has a nice idea for me.
Some hundred mailboxes are already moved from 2007 to 2010. Most of them without problems. Some had the problem of deactivated permission inheritance.
Thanks in advance

Zam Zam Camp — An activist from Zam Zam camp near El-Fasher, North Darfur, announced that 280 families from East Jebel Marra have arrived at the camp on Friday, 7 December.
He asserted these families are fleeing aerial bombardments and ground assaults, in addition to the looting of thousands carried out by pro-government militias around East Jebel Marra one week ago.
Many of the individuals are in poor health after walking for seven days to reach the camp, the source continued.
The displaced come mainly from Dali, Koto, Hashaba, Umm Kadaldal, and other surrounding villages, the activist claimed.
However, another 180 families who did not have transportation means were left behind in Umm Qaigo area, located east of Tabet, the activist revealed. Most of them are children, women and elderly and are living under trees without food or water, he stressed.
The families who arrived at Zam Zam are now reportedly occupying the southern part of the camp, namely district Tukumary.
The activist appealed to humanitarian and human rights organizations to provide them support and save the other stranded families, who are not safe.

Alicia Keys Sings 'Obama's On Fire' At Inaugural Ball
Alicia Keys was one of many stars on hand to help President Barack Obama kick off his second term with the Inaugural Ball on Sunday night (January 20).
The R&B warbler wowed the crowd with a rendition of her hit, "Girl on Fire," changing the lyrics to sing "Obama's on Fire":
"He's living in a world and it's on fire. Filled with catastrophe, but he knows he can find a way."
Keys also threw in a reference to First Lady Michelle Obama for good measure:
"Everybody stares as he goes by, cause they can see the flame [inaudible] his eyes. Watch him as he's lighting up the night. Everybody knows that Michelle is his girl, together they run the world. He's the president and he's on fire . . . Obama's on fire. Obama's on fire."

We begin tonight with stills from Austin Aries' title win on Sunday.
We get a recap of the Bound for Glory Series, focusing on Jeff Hardy and James Storm.
We get a recap of Joseph Park and Bully Ray from past weeks.
Bully Ray is introduced and he comes to the ring.
Anything-Goes Match - Bully Ray vs. Joseph Park
Bully has his restraining order in hand. Park comes out to the ring. Park is hesitant to face off. Bully invites him to the center of the ring, Park puts his dukes up. Park swings wildly and Bully slaps him around. Bully spits in his face. Park slaps Bully and gets fired up. Bully tackles him to the mat and pulls his phone out and begins tweeting.
Bully pulls out some "hardcore" items form under the ring: trash cans, chairs, sheet pans, etc. Park avoids a chair-shot and takes Bully down. Park grabs a chair but he hesitates and Bully knocks him down. Bully hits him with a "detour" sign on the back and then a can lid to the head. Bully lays him out on the can lid and waits to long. Park avoids a leaping headbutt and Bully hits his head on the metal lid.
Park mounts offense but Bully quickly extinguishes it with a big boot. Bully goes back out and pulls a back bag from under the ring. He spills thumbtacks all over the mat. Bully asks for a mic and says he going to do what he should have done to Abyss. Bully goes to hit him with a Kendo Stick but Park hits a low-blow and uses the stick himself and gets 2.
Bully hits a clothesline and takes Park over to the tacks but Park hits a spinebuster on him onto the tacks; he gets 2. Bully crawls to his chain and he wraps it around his fist and clocks Park in the head for the win.
Winner by pin: Bully Ray
Park is busted open and he is starting to freak out at the sight of his blood. Bully rushes him and Park hits a nice side slam to lay him out. The crowd chants for Park and he seems surprised at himself.
Backstage, Sting has the playing cards left by the mystery persons last week. He says "dead man's hand, I get it." He tears the cards up.
Bully picks tacks out of his boot backstage and he asks who that was. He says he beat Park but who was that?
-BFG Leader Board Samoa Joe is in the lead with 37 followed by James Storm with 36.
Bound for Glory Series Match Samoa Joe vs. RVD
RVD drop toe-holds Joe into the corner and tries a submission hold but Joe grabs the ropes. They trade elbows in the center of the ring. RVD hits a kick to the head and Joe responds with a clothesline and RVD rolls out to regroup. Joe catches RVD's leg and takes him down with a dragon screw. They trade kicks, Joe applies a modified ankle lock but quickly releases.

The Kim Sang Fai Cantonese Opera Troupe will perform the renowned repertoires "The Sword of a Loyal Family" and "The Headstrong Husband and His Resourceful Wife" in September. Both include impressive acrobatic fighting scenes.
"The Sword of a Loyal Family" will be staged at 7.30pm on September 5 (Friday) at the Auditorium of Tsuen Wan Town Hall. The story begins when Lord Long agrees to lend his family's heirloom, a sword with a hidden blade, for the assassination of Meng Kui, who has colluded with pirates. He sends his son Jialie as the assassin. While saying farewell to his lover, Xiang Ruyu, Jialie gives her a jade pendant as a keepsake.
Jialie gets close to Meng but is unfortunately driven off a cliff. Meng orders his subordinates to search for the assassin, but the body retrieved from below the cliff has been defaced. Meng hangs the head high and offers a bounty to whoever recognises its identity. At the news of the death, Ruyu hurries to the camp, but has to fight hard to free herself from the enemy's ambush. She drops her pendant and Meng, recognising one of the Long family's treasures, now knows where the assassin came from.
Meng concludes that Jialie was the assassin on the evidence of the jade pendant, and gives Lord Long five days to surrender Jialie, otherwise the whole family will be incriminated and punished by death. Lord Long decides to mobilise the entire family to fight the villain and die if necessary for an honourable cause.
An injured Jialie suddenly appears. It transpires that Ruyu's brother Ling died in his place, and before killing himself had his own face totally disfigured. Jialie learns of Meng's return route via the treacherous Bolang Cliff. As the only one who knows the short-cut to the plank road on the cliff, Lord Long takes up arms and leads his men in laying an ambush. Meng's army is duly trapped and Meng is finally killed.
The second performance, "The Headstrong Husband and His Resourceful Wife", will be staged at 7.30pm on September 13 (Saturday) at the Auditorium of Tai Po Civic Centre. The story takes place as Hong Tianbao's family has fallen on hard times, and he is left with no choice but to sell the family heirloom, a precious sword, to fund his journey to the capital for the civil examination. By chance he meets Li Deru, who generously gives him some money collected from debtors. But the money is seized by bandits. While giving chase, the two meet Jingniang, daughter of Ge Daxiong, the minister who holds sway at the imperial court. Jingniang falls in love with Hong at first sight, and Ge, recognising Hong's talent, offers him his daughter's hand.
Two years later, Hong has left home after marrying Jingniang and has spent most of this time fighting as Ge's vanguard general. He now plans to return to the capital to be with Jingniang again. Li by chance learns of Ge's plan to usurp the throne by assassinating the emperor. He tells Jingniang of this, and in order to protect Hong from being implicated in this capital crime, Jingniang pretends to be having an affair with Li. In a rage, Hong writes a letter of divorce, and Jingniang is expelled from home by her own father.
Ge's plot to assassinate the Song emperor and his empress is thwarted by Hong who happens to be passing by. He is rewarded with a high position in the imperial court. Jingniang and Li however are now leading a destitute life in their home village. On her way to pick firewood, Jingniang is punished for blocking a lord's way – and he is none other than Hong. He flies into a rage and wants to inflict heavy punishment on her and Li, only to find out later when Ge is arrested that Jingniang has been protecting him all along. He is filled with regret and asks for her forgiveness. Jingniang pleads for mercy from the emperor who commutes her father's death sentence.
The cast includes Man Kim-fei, Cheng Wing-mui, Liu Kowk-sum, Lui Hung-kwong, Leung Wai-hong, Wai Tsun-long and Ko Lai.
The performances by Kim Sang Fai Cantonese Opera Troupe are presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. Tickets ranging from $100 to $240 are now available at URBTIX. Half-price tickets are available for senior citizens aged 60 or above, people with disabilities and their minders, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) recipients (limited tickets for full-time students and CSSA recipients are available on a first come, first served basis.)
A post-performance talk (conducted in Cantonese) will be held at 2.30pm on September 20 (Saturday) at AC2, Level 4, Administration Building, Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Speakers will include Man Kim-fei and Ko Lai. Admission is free with limited seats available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Carlo Cudicini has described his emotion at returning to action for Tottenham Hotspur, eight months after suffering serious injuries in a motorcycle crash. The Italian goalkeeper fractured both wrists and his pelvis when his superbike collided with a car while he was riding to Spurs' training ground last November.
The 36-year-old was forced to miss the rest of last term, but made his long-awaited comeback with 45 minutes in the pre-season friendly win at Bournemouth a week and a half ago before completing the whole of Saturday's match against San Jose Earthquakes.
"I feel fine," Cudicini told his club's official website. "Of course after eight months out there was a bit of emotion at going back to the pitch, but it was a nice feeling to be back and having the chance to get minutes on the pitch. That's what pre-season's all about."
Cudicini spent the early part of the summer working overtime with coach Tony Parks at Spurs Lodge to complete his rehabilitation. "We split the rehabilitation into two parts," he explained.
"The first was in the summer and Parksy did a great job with the physio team and the doctor, and now it's the second part: hard training and going into matches. At the moment, fingers crossed, everything is going well."
Cudicini, who will hope to keep his place for tomorrow's game against New York Red Bulls, will once again battle with Heurelho Gomes to stand between Spurs' sticks this season. The pair could face further competition from Stipe Pletikosa, with manager Harry Redknapp this week confirming he was trying to sign the Spartak Moscow keeper.

Holiday Knitted Garland : :
This is my very first. A winter themed garland full of snowflakes, winter birds, icy blue felt balls, pom poms, and wooden buttons. It fits in nicely with the snowy theme we have happening in our dining room. I have a second one in the doorway.
This is a more recently made one, that I shared a peek of the other day. It's full of Cristmas-y colors, purchased ornaments, snowflake needle felted wool balls, clusters of wool yarn that are made up of my scraps, crochet snowflakes, even some crochet stars that I picked up a few years ago at an antique store. You can simply stitch on anything you'd love to see in a garland. I just used a matching colored thread to the knitted I-cord, spacing my little ornaments out evenly along the strand. Simple and fun!
This is my very favorite corner in our house right now. I added some of the pillows I have for sale in there just for good picture taking sake. :) One of them I will actually be giving away tomorrow as part of Where Woman Creates 12 Days of Giveaways!! If you haven't checked this out yet, you really must! Some really great designers are offering some really great gifts!
If you'd like to make your own I-cord garland -- this is a great video I just found for knitting an I-cord with 3 stitches. The instructor in the video is using two double pointed needles, I prefer to use my circular needles. Remember the trick is that you never turn your work! It's fun the way you knit, knit, knit, slip... you'll see!

I love your decor. Very similar to ours, in fact, but we are missing that amazing garland. I'll have to get on that ;) Our window is full of paper snowflakes this year. The boys have been busy with scissors.ReplyDelete
And your Nutcrackers. Love those! I have 2. My fireplace mantle is lined with those cheesy little holiday houses you plug in. They are so old school 80's but I love them. I can't pass by one at the thrift store if I see it.
Hugs from Lexington~
Beautiful Maureen! Love the pics of your tree too. I can never get my tree to look so pretty in pictures!ReplyDelete
I think taking photos of your tree after dark is key or at least have the natural light behind you, which is hard if you usually put your tree up in front of a window. I am still playing around with it myself! I saw a picture on pinterest recently that was so magical, I'd love to be able to get a shot like that!ReplyDelete
They are so pretty!! Your whole room looks gorgeous!! Can I come for Christmas please ;)ReplyDelete
Here's the pin --ReplyDelete
Your tree is beautiful, and your garland is the perfect addition to finish everything off.ReplyDelete
Everyday Inspired
I never learned how to knit, but it's on my list for the new year! I can see why that is your favorite corner...it's so fun and festive! And the pillows look right at home! :)ReplyDelete
I-cord is such a great knitting technique, and this is a perfect use for it!ReplyDelete
Beautiful, thanks for the idea!ReplyDelete
By i-cord i thought yo meant you were knitting ipod headphone cords!ReplyDelete
Laura, that's hilarious!! Maybe I should have stuck with Holiday Knitted Garland!? :)ReplyDelete
I love them!!!ReplyDelete
All is beautiful Maureen!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
ooooh it's so cozy and beautiful!!!! I want a Christmas corner!ReplyDelete
Your place looks magnificent! The Christmas tree is lovely, and the garland is so cute!ReplyDelete

Tried a new pilates class that is foam roller based. Ouch. But in a good way. Super hard class, probably not the best thing for me to be doing as I taper in preparation for the Pittsburgh Marathon this Sunday! But it's my only pilates class for the week. I guess it was good to go out strong.

James Meredith and Nathan Sereke paired to win the top doubles match 8-6, but the Broncos could not find a second team win, conceding the doubles point to Santa Clara. The Broncos were in unfamiliar territory as after being down a point early, as Boise State had not lost a single doubles match previously this season.
In singles action Scott Sears picked up his first win of the season at the No. 3 slot for Boise State, defeating Maxime Armengaurd in straight sets 7-5, 6-2. Sereke notched the other point for the Broncos, taking down Ilya Ostinev 7-5, 6-1 in the No. 5 match.
Sears and Sereke were the only two broncos to win a set, as Meredith, Andrew Bettles, Garrett Patton and Filipp Pogostkin each fell to their opponent in straight sets. The loss was the first of the season for both Meredith and Bettles, who are currently ranked third and 12th in the Mountain Region, respectively.
The Broncos will compete again Saturday against No. 64 Saint Mary's at 11 a.m. MT.

What's so good?
By Rachel Lynn Skotarczyk | Jun 11, 2012 | Total plays: 14,352
Sifting trough his Soundcloud is kinda like listening to an epic soundtrack to life, as it's very eclectic. Make a playlist of Hemsworth production and you might swear you had just listened to five different artists. That's not intended to be a dis, either -- it's great that he's not boxing himself in. They are all quality productions.
Teetering at times between straight-up synthwave, future bass, and coming damn close to trap, Hemsworth seems to be exploring many musical attitudes. "Cold & Tempted" is by far my favorite track. It's sorta of like if you took Cosmonaut Grechko and injected him with bits of Baauer, and then added a whole lot of deep, distorted atmosphere.
Before I get tongue-tied with my descriptions, just check it out for yourself. "Three Hours In" is another noteworthy Hemsworth original.
Sounds like: The xx, Jacques Greene, xxyyxx, Odesza, Janelle Monae

Some years ago, a few people with a sense of style decided to show off their everyday outfits on the Internet. They're what we now call "fashion bloggers". Some of them became front row regulars, collaborated with brands (e.g. The Cherry Blossom Girl for Etam lingerie or Elin Kling for H&M) and are now deep inside the fashion industry. It became a trend to start your own fashion blog, but I for one, cannot say that it's a trend I dislike. On the contrary: there are so many inspirational people out there, that I'm often excited to find a new blog and add it to my reader.
One such blog is Bonnie's Wild Flower. Bonnie is 19 and she lives in Maryland, and her style is sweet, with just a bit of an edge, very age appropriate if I may say. That's why I picked three of her looks and restyled them for your inspiration.
Original outfit pictures – Wild Flower; Heeled oxfords; Star Wars T-shirt; Belt; Skirt;
This is my favorite outfit as of late. Bonnie's dress is geek-chic in the most wonderful way. It's handmade from recycled materials, but you can recreate the look with a t-shirt (your boyfriend's, perhaps?) and a polka dot shirt. You can even stitch the two together if it's a dress that you want! What I liked even more is the way Bonnie paired this dress with heeled oxfords, which are the iconic footwear for cool schoolgirls. The braided hair makes the look sweet and neat.
Sneakers; Blouse; Sweater; Jeans; Hair pins; Jacket; Handbag; Original outfit pictures – Wild Flower;
Now this next look is far more layered, so it's suited for cooler weather. Bonnie paired her skinny jeans with a long sweater and a leather jacket. From underneath the sweater, a sweet Peter-Pan collar is popping, making the entire look a tad more girly. With Converse and a satchel, such an outfit is great for school – comfortable, cute, but not at all tacky.
Original outfit picture – Wild Flower; T-shirt; Shorts; Hat; Necklace; Boots;
The final look I restyled is a bit 80s, with the deep dyed high-waisted shorts, large tee and red lipstick. I picked a t-shirt from the menswear section to get that fun, over-sized look, but you can just as well get one that's one size bigger. Finish with lace-up boots and your favorite pendant necklace, and you've captured Bonnie's style just right.

As you can tell from my breakfast post yesterday, JP and I left our suburban life for a visit to the "big city" or Chicago, rather, this past weekend. We had plans to visit the Christkindlmarket at the Daley Plaza – it's a cute little set up of German, Irish, Polish ancestry all in celebration of the Christmas holiday. You can find traditional ornaments, fun knick-knacks, yummy snacks like brats and toasted almonds, and even sip on some hot apple cider or German brews.
We went on a Saturday, which was our first mistake. It was the first week of the market, which was our second mistake. Although, adorable – the market was crammed with people making it super hard to move around, and even worse if you actually wanted to window shop or look at the goods at the different vendor shops. We were packed in like cattle and were not able to get near some of the booths. I was able to stop off and get some cappucino flavored toasted almonds but when JP wanted hot apple cider, we took one look at the 25+ person long line and kept moving past the stand.
Talking to some pros that have been to the market (after the fact, of course) they instructed that during the day, during the week is the best time to go. Less visitors and tourists and it's easy navigation to get around the various booths. We will keep that in mind for next year – because really, who has a random day off of work during the week?
My advice? Try to go during the week when it's less crazy. Try not to bring your children's baby carriage into the market – it's too crowded for that. And avoid during the weekends at all costs. Other than that, it seemed like an adorable market and I really wish we were able to spend more time there and to taste and see all that the market had to offer. Instead – we opted for some fun city photos on our way back to the parking garage.

Truth be told, I haven't been able to write the blog since I returned to Karachi this week after a month's holiday in London. The depression is too great. And I just didn't want to whine about how shitty Pakistan is. I just didn't want to say it. I still don't. Because I love this Godforsaken place and because if I said it, something would open up in a shuddering, heaving cataclysm.
I went back to the newsroom the day I landed. Piles of crap were waiting for me. They've been killing Shias again. The Punjab is cutting off our supply of water by siphoning it into a link canal reserved for flooding. Little babies are growing gaunter by the day in village clinics because the water they are drinking is dirty. The heat is so thick and pervasive that I am eternally covered in a thin film of sweat. On a more personal note, my 14-month nephew got sick and the sight of a canula in his baby fist made me want to tear the world apart.
The stories were endless and morbid. A 22-year-old girl was thrown into a fire by an exorcist who thought he would be able to smoke out the evil spirit. We spoke to a psychiatrist about the symptoms she was displaying and grew convinced that if taken to a doctor, the girl would have stood a better chance of getting better. They've never heard of Tourrettes Syndrome here. (http://tribune.com.pk/story/26357/exorcist-throws-22-year-old-into-fire-to-%E2%80%98smoke-out%E2%80%99-evil-spirit/)
Aside from what was pouring in, the first thing I had to do was commission a piece on why the hell Shias were being targeted again (http://tribune.com.pk/story/26860/money-makes-the-world-go-round-but-in-karachi-it-brings-lives-to-a-standstill/). I was rumour weary, I wanted some explanations why 11 of them had been targeted in two months. The Jafferia Alliance of Pakistan actually puts the number at 23, but when we asked them to provide the names and places where they were killed, they refused.
When my best friend, another journo, himself a Shia, told me late one night that one of the victims, 24-year-old motorcycle factory worker Fayyaz Hussain Naqvi was the third man in his family to have been targeted in one year, I could barely take on the information. Where the hell do you put that kind of information? Where do you store it and what do you do with it? (http://tribune.com.pk/story/26861/in-1-year-family-loses-3-members-to-target-killings/) At night when I returned after a harrowing day I went to take a look at Susan Sontag's book on regarding the pain of others. But my own 'pain' or sadness was too great to let me read it.
In a city of 20 million people a death rate will be high. But it is the nature of this crime, the drive-by shooting, that chills me. The hatred for Shias angers me. The fact that the killers are never caught angers me. I've run out of headlines. The stories are always the same. We are growing number by the day, numb to the corruption, violence, inequality, senselessness of society. I decided that I would say it clean: "Fayyaz Hussain Naqvi, the 11th Shia to die for nothing". (http://tribune.com.pk/story/26140/fayyaz-hussain-naqvi-the-11th-shia-to-die-for-nothing/)
The next day a reporter from our sister organization, the Express Urdu news channel, stopped me in the corridor.
"Ap ne Shia'on ko direct hit kia he," he said in a voice filled with incredulity. Why did you hit out directly at the Shias?
"What do you mean direct?"
"You said, 'for nothing'."
I didn't quite understand what he meant. I knew he was Sunni and probably of the more orthodox Deoband stripe. It amazed me that he would say it so openly. When I shared this with my editor Kamal Siddiqi, he was nonchalant: "He didn't understand the headline." The more I thought about it, the more that seemed an explanation. The reporter probably thought I meant that this Shia's death didn't mean anything. We had a good laugh.
My sister has been going around the city on her break from Bennington where she's studying photography. She came back after a visit to Jam Chakro, Karachi's largest landfill site. "The children were like zombies," she told me. I knew of Jam Chakro, it is probably the saddest place in the world. Scavenger families live in the rubbish. My sister saw an old woman who wouldn't stop twitching. Sixteen-year-old boys looked 10. I asked her to stop telling me. I couldn't take it any more. We live like animals here.
There was good news, however. And it would be unfair to say that it was all doom and gloom. I just couldn't absorb it.
In Karachi we're really excited that 'Dancing' Matt is planning to shoot one of his videos on Wednesday. We ran the story today and I'm hoping and praying that the right-wingers don't spoil the party.
In other good news, two young Pakistani girls are being sent to the UK by the British Council on an expedition in which they will interact with schools and try to talk about Islam and misconceptions. The Citizens Foundation, very strong non-government organization working across Pakistan, wrapped up its summer camp that brings together rich kids from fancy schools and less privileged children. I learnt about a 16-year-old who started his own theatre company. The Edhi foundation has a shelter for animals. More and more people are growing organic here. I'll take anything at this point.
I've been reading Toni Morrison's 'Burn this Book' which has PEN writers speaking about the power of the word. David Grossman, who had I had never heard of before, struck me as the one who describes our situation in Pakistan the best:
"I feel the heavy price that I and the people around me pay for this prolonged state of war. Part of this price is a shrinking of our soul's surface area – those parts of us that touch the violence menacing world outside – and a diminished ability and willingness to empathize at all with other people in pain." In this job, they tell you to stop at a certain point. But for the life of me, I know I will never be able to switch off from Karachi, this explosion of a city that defies metaphor, escapes words.

What is the name or your vegetarian blog?
Middle Eastern Cultural Festival
What is your blog's URL?
What is your blog about?
This brand new blog will feature various aspects about the Arabic culture, presently we are blogging Middle Eastern vegan recipes that are used this time of year by Middle Eastern Christians for Lenten fasting.
Why do you keep a vegetarian or vegan food blog?
We offer vegetarian/vegan Middle Eastern recipes to support those who keep a strict fast (complete abstaining from animal products) during Lent and other fasting periods of the year. These recipes are amongst many that come from our parish families who compiled them into our church's published cookbook "Good Eating the Arabic Way". Some of these recipes are well-known Arabic family favorites, but we also feature the lesser-known dishes--all of which originate from Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria & Jordan. These dishes are healthy and their popularity has withstood the test of time, having been around for and handed down to many generations!
- We use chickpeas, lentils, cracked wheat and other protein sources in combination with each other. We use a lot of olive oil, garlic and lemon juice which all have many health benefits. The traditional Middle Eastern diet is as physically healthy as it is spiritually uplifting.

The Barriers to Justice project seeks to explore the perceptions and experiences of applicants and potential applicants to employment tribunals. The focus will be on the process from a user's perspective with the overall aim being to identify barriers to justice. The premise of this research is that the highly formalised procedures and processes adopted by the employment tribunal (ET) service are no longer appropriate for the type of employee who would wish to use the ET to resolve a dispute. This formalisation is leading to a perception on the part of many applicants that the ET system is unable to deliver on promises of access to justice with many potential applicants unable to reach the hearing stage because of the formalised nature of the process, or fear of losing due to a lack of representation and then being required to pay the employer's costs if they lose. Even those who reach the hearing stage can be severely disadvantaged because the formalised system means that the employer is likely to be represented by highly skilled legal counsel practiced in both the appropriate law and tribunal procedure.
The research is being carried out by Dr Morag McDermont with Dr Nicole Busby and in collaboration with the Bristol Citizens Advice Bureau.
The pilot stage research is complete. See the report on the pilot stage interviews (PDF, 49kB).

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
hi all,
a friend recently told me that he went from a graffiti based PDA to a
mini keyboard based PDA (basically he went from palm to a treo).
he said he liked the keyboard much better: the keyboard is faster and
more convenient than graffiti.
i'm _only_ interested in hearing from people who have used both keyboard
and graffiti based PDA's: which input method do you think is faster and
more convenient?
i'm predisposed to disregard my friend's claims; can't imagine anything
better than graffiti. but then again, i said the same thing about RPN
calculators once upon a time. and i'd never go back to a non-RPN
calculator. so i'd like to hear a few peoples' experiences...

The real-estate meltdown's negative effects haven't bypassed Upland-based Lewis Operating Corp., one of the largest real-estate companies in Southern California.
Still, the Inland Empire's iconic developer and real-estate manager announced on Tuesday that it shelved out about $57 million for almost 700 acres of land throughout California and Nevada since December.
"We're one of the only companies that's actually been buying deals," said Randall Lewis, executive vice president, about lots that've dropped significantly in price since the downturn.
It might be finding deals, but Lewis Operating Corp. isn't doing the same amount of business it saw in 2003 and 2004. The company has had layoffs.
"The sheer number of transactions is down… more than half," Lewis said about land contracts. "We'll continue to be selective. But we think, if anything, there will probably be more opportunities in the next six months than the last six months."
Overall, he thinks the commercial real-estate industry's downturn isn't changing anytime soon.
But the niche market for new homes could be bottoming out by the end of 2008, he said.
As far as the resale residential market, "it's probably sometime in 2009," Lewis said.
He joins an ever-increasing group of real-estate and finance professionals who are pushing off their bets that the entire residential market will bottom out late this year and instead pegging the time frame in 2009, 2010, or even 2011.
The company's recent purchases include 36 acres of commercial land in Adelanto slated for a Target-anchored shopping center, 21 acres in Mira Loma which will sport a mixed-use retail-residential project, and 30 acres in Chino for upcoming housing projects in The Preserve at Chino, a master-planned community.
More than 500 acres of residential land was bought in the Sacramento area for homes, parks, retail shops and an elementary school, and 90 acres purchased in North Las Vegas for homes.
Look below to read Lewis Operating Corp.'s news release on recent land acquisitions:

Crash of speeding Corvette kills 4 in California
LOS ANGELES - LOS ANGELES (AP) - A speeding Corvette crashed on a San Fernando Valley street early Thursday, killing four people and leaving pieces of bodies and the car scattered along a half-mile stretch of road, authorities said.
Two men and two women were killed in the crash at 12:05 a.m. in the North Hills area near the Van Nuys Airport, police said.
Their identities were not immediately released.
The yellow 2007 Corvette was speeding on Roscoe Boulevard when the driver apparently lost control on a curve, hit a guardrail, skidded hundreds of feet, crossed some railroad tracks and came to rest upside down, authorities said.
Two men and a woman were hurled out as the car flipped over several times, Lt. John Romero said.
The body of the woman driver was pinned inside the wreckage.
The driver may have been drinking, authorities said.
No other car was involved in the accident and the Corvette was not racing or chasing another vehicle, police Capt. William Sutton said.

On Sunday morning, as Christians in the region and around the world take part in the Easter traditions they enjoy, an observer might be tempted to ask: How do the ways they celebrate the holiday reflect its meaning?
Children pet bunnies and gobble jelly beans. Wal-Mart sells more than 500 types of Easter confection, including unicorn- and space alien-themed baskets. Just a few of them allude to Christianity.
How does eating a package of Peeps recall the man Christians believe redeemed the world by rising from the dead nearly 2,000 years ago? Balancing Easter's secular and religious sides can be a challenge for area churches.
Some Roman Catholic congregations schedule egg hunts to help draw families with children to Easter services. Certain Baptist ministers, meanwhile, skip such activities to emphasize the spiritual significance of the holiday.
And on Saturday, St. Paul Lutheran Church in Catonsville found creative ways to explain the Resurrection story to kids before letting then loose to hunt for colored eggs. The egg shells, church leaders said, symbolize the tomb where Jesus was placed, and the treats inside represent his gift to the world of saving mankind from sin.
"We're trying to help the children learn the Easter story," said Barb Haar, the church's minister of parish life.
At St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Highlandtown, the elements of fun and faith also come together. There, as at Eastern Orthodox churches worldwide, a single, striking symbol evokes the Resurrection in all its mysterious glory: a hard-boiled egg dyed red.
"Pascha would be unthinkable without red eggs," said the church's spiritual leader, the Rev. Michael Pastrikos, using the Greek word for Easter. "They represent Jesus' suffering and death on the cross, which happened in blood and brought us eternal life. Cracking [the eggs] means the end of the old and beginning of the new. And, to be honest, they're just a lot of fun."
Every year, at the end of the Pascha service on Saturday night, well after midnight, Pastrikos turns to several baskets of the red eggs, blesses them with a prayer, and hands one apiece to the 400 or so people who come up and meet him at the altar.
"Christos aneste!" ("Christ is risen!") he says each time.
"Alithos aneste!" ("He is indeed risen!") they respond.
And everyone flocks to the basement, where they crack the eggs in playful hand-to-hand combat the Greeks call tsougrisma ("clicking together"), hug, and sit down to the feast that, for Eastern Orthodox Christians, brings weeks of fasting to a festive end.
If bunnies and marshmallow candy are the symbols of modern secular Easter, the red-egg tradition blends fun and religion in a way that has unified communities — and satisfied worldly and religious appetites — for centuries.
"It's a tradition of the people, and everyone enjoys that, but it has to be part of the liturgy. It represents something spiritual — the resurrection of the Christ, which gave us the possibility of salvation," Pastrikos said.
An age-old symbol
There's no consensus on the origins of the practice, though most agree the egg has been a pagan symbol of springtime fertility, life and rebirth since pre-Christian days.
Early Christians later adapted the symbol to their faith, with the shell representing the mortal world.
When it cracked, that was like the world dying away; what remained meant rebirth just as the Crucifixion gave rise to eternal life.
"Just as Jesus Christ broke the bonds of hell and rose from the dead, so too, with the egg, we break its bonds and partake of its fruits," said the Rev. John Vass, pastor of Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church in East Baltimore, which also blesses and hands out red eggs.
The Orthodox faithful trace the red dye to the legend that Mary Magdalene — one of Jesus' followers — wandered the Roman Empire preaching the Resurrection, carrying eggs as a sort of visual aid.
