Download Brave so you can know a story...Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor, lives in the Scottish kingdom of DunBroch as a princess with her three brothers. Merida is betrothed to one of the sons of the three Lords: Dingwall, Macintosh, and MacGuffin. The princess, however, is determined to live her own life. When Merida defies one of the kingdom's traditions by sabotaging an archery contest between the three lords, the princess inadvertently causes controversy and chaos throughout the kingdom. In response to the chaos, Merida turns to an elderly wise woman to help change her fate. A curse is inflicted on Merida's family and kingdom. Merida must discover the true meaning of bravery by undoing the spell to save her family and kingdom.
One look at the top suitors offered up by the three other leading clans and you can see what she means; they're the three stooges of Scotland, whose beefy kinsmen would sooner brawl than shake your hand. Once Merida shows them all up in an archery contest and her furious mother tosses her daughter's prize bow in the fireplace, the headstrong girl takes off on her enormous steed, Angus.It stands to reason that this first half-hour sets up expectations of a story in some way involving a renegade princess, trouble among the clans and/or a mysterious adventure involving the wisps and some Stonehenge-like arrangements that come into play. The left-turn taken by the script co-authored by Mark Andrews, Steve Purcell, Brenda Chapman and Irene Mecchi, from a story by Chapman, who co-directed with Andrews, might be embraced by those comforted by the familiar. But it's a move that channels the film into startlingly well-worn territory, that of a conventionally toothless and whiskered old witch (Julie Walters) willing to cast a spell to grant Merida's wish to change her mother so as to alter her own fate.

What results is a film that starts off big and promising but diminishes into a rather wee thing as it chugs along, with climactic drama that is both too conveniently wrapped up and hinges on magical elements that are somewhat confusing to boot. Not only is the tale laden with standard-issue fairy tale and familiar girl-empowerment tropes, but the entire project lacks the imaginative leaps, unexpected jokes and sense of fun and wonder that habitually set Pixar productions apart from the pack. Its ideas seem earthbound.
On a sensory level, however, Brave is almost entirely a delight. The wild beauty of Scotland, of the verdant forests and the craggy peaks, is lovingly rendered with a gorgeous palette of painterly colors and in very agreeable 3D. Even better, the voicings here are among the most exceptional and pleasurable of any animated film you might care to name. Working in pronounced Scottish accents that, to be sure, don't approach the often undecipherable ones heard in Ken Loach films, Scottish actors Macdonald and Connolly are a joy to listen to, as is Thompson, even if too many of the conversations are argumentative in a repetitive vein. Patrick Doyle's active and resourceful score is another major plus in a film that has played it safe instead of taking chances and going for something new.

The Clean Sheet: Taking time to reflect ...
March 29, 2010
Chronicling his rookie season, goalkeeper Matt Pyzdrowski checks in with his second installment of "The Clean Sheet." After visiting Qwest Field for MLS' First Kick last week, Matt ponders what's to come for the club and updates preseason.
It's Thursday, March 25 and the entire Timbers squad is sitting at the MLS First Kick between the Seattle Sounders and the Philadelphia Union thinking of what can only be in one year's time.
We have been working so hard day-in and day-out in preparation for the upcoming season, but it was nice to take a moment and reflect into the future. This time next year we will be part of the MLS and we will be the ones in the spotlight for the MLS First Kick. To experience the excitement and electricity of the game first hand was a great experience and to see the passion and joy being put forth by the fans was nothing short of amazing.
Then I thought about what it will be like for us next season, knowing how excited our city and our fans are about this opportunity coming to a reality. You have been with us throughout the years and stuck by our side through the good and the bad and to finally get this reward is something very meaningful to us all. It is a moment that I have been thinking about ever since I became a Timber.
Moving back to the present, there are great things to come this season for the Timbers. Yes, we have had some great results thus far in preseason but we do understand that it is just that and the time that actually counts is right around the corner. It is something that every single player is chomping at the bit to experience. Our sessions have been demanding and full of intensity and to bring that onto the pitch this year will create a great buzz around the league. We have roughly three weeks left to prepare for this season and we are more than ready for it to begin!

pros & cons of a 21" front wheel vs. large 16" wheel/ tire

By your logic we should all ditch our water cooled, reliable, 12" suspended, aluminum framed, high performance machines for a seizure prone, 6" suspended, noodle framed, heavy for its size, beast just because it was the bomb back in its day.
You have not addressed any of the other places you are wrong....when we found out what BP was building, what the orignal issue was....
You are also very wrong on you size comparisons. WAY wrong. I never said 110-18 as you state. I said, and I quote "110/80-19" " That would be the tire size that is common on many heavy weight dual purpose bikes today like a BMW GS/GSA or the Yamaha Super Tenere or a common size that might be used on a Sporty DS conversion.
You are also very wrong on your size comparison of the tires you show. WAY wrong. Modern tires are measured on the metric system. My 90/90-21" is 90mm wide at the widest point generally when aired up, it is 90mm tall in side profile when aired up and new. It fits on a 21" rim, Not a metric dimension but it is the standard.
The tires you show on the Hodaka and sizes you give are measured in U.S. inches. You forgot the decimal point in your post, but that is ok, you forget alot of things. The tire in question you show is actually 3.50x19" which equates to 3 and one half inches wide and gives no sidewall profile and fits a 19" rim. A metric conversion shows that 3.50 or 3-1/2" converts to a mere 88.9 mm. The tire on the front of my KTMs or YZs are 90mm wide a full 1.1mm wider that your Hodaka tire.
And a common ADV bike tire that as I stated would fit a GS or Tenere being a 110/80-19" would actually be 4.3333" almost a full inch wider than your Hodaka tire. Tell all of the people that have converted their big GS bikes from a 4.333" wide x 19" tire up to a narrower 90/90-21", like Jimmy Lewis AND his wife that the fatter smaller diameter tire is better....you can't.
If your argument is that you Hodaka tire was better because it was wider than a common 21" tire, you are wrong.
You are not the only person to have ridden those bikes. Maybe you are one of the few who are stuck in thos days and think progress has not improved bikes, but again you would be wrong.
I love the old and vintage stuff, but it is in NO way Better than modern stuff. Fun- YES. Historic-Yes. Iconic-Yes. Nostalgic-HUGE Yes.....better- NO WAY.
I will buy you a beer if we ever meet and have a laugh or two with you and not argue, but for now, Come ON man...ever watch MNF? Come on man.
350......3.50 whatever.......we called them three-fifty and we used them because they worked PERIOD no matter what you called them or how they were measured. Those were not modern bikes with tons of HP or suspension. What works on my current race bike (Honda CRF 450) has nothing to do with the OP's scooter. A Harley Sportster is barely a modern bike with modern suspension. (let see you argue that
Your mistake is you think you know my logic or what I think and as such are out smarting yourself. I'll take that beer and maybe even buy one for you, but only because you admit the OP needs the nice big fat 19"!

standards, curriculum, instruction, and assessment that successfully integrates the three dimensions is an area ripe for research and innovation.
Because standards guide and shape curriculum, instruction, and assessment, the task of integrating the three dimensions of the framework for K-12 science education begins with the development of standards. A major task for developers will be to create standards that integrate the three dimensions. The committee suggests that this integration should occur in the standards statements themselves and in performance expectations that link to the standards.
Standards and performance expectations that are aligned to the framework must take into account that students cannot fully understand scientific and engineering ideas without engaging in the practices of inquiry and the discourses by which such ideas are developed and refined [1-3]. At the same time, they cannot learn or show competence in practices except in the context of specific content. For example, students ask questions or design investigations about particular phenomena, such as the growth of plants, the motion of objects, and the phases of the moon. Furthermore, crosscutting concepts have value because they provide students with connections and intellectual tools that are related across the differing areas of disciplinary content and can enrich their application of practices and their understanding of core ideas. For example, being aware that it is useful to analyze diverse things—such as the human body or a watershed—as systems can help students generate productive questions for further study. Thus standards and performance expectations must be designed to gather evidence of students' ability to apply the practices and their understanding of the crosscutting concepts in the contexts of specific applications in multiple disciplinary areas.
In the committee's judgment, specification of "performance expectations" is an essential component of standards. This term refers to statements that describe activities and outcomes that students are expected to achieve in order to demonstrate their ability to understand and apply the knowledge described in the disciplinary core ideas. Following the model of the College Board's Science Standards for College Success, we agree that "performance expectations specify what students should know, understand, and be able to do…. They also illustrate how students engage in science practices to develop a better understanding of the essential knowledge. These expectations support targeted instruction and assessment by providing tasks that are measurable and observable" [4].
In this chapter we provide two examples of how the three dimensions might be brought together in performance expectations. The first example is based on a

analysisBy Stephen Grootes
In South Africa, economic policy is, to put it mildly, contested terrain. With our history having created a skewed scenario of 'haves' and 'have-nots', there is an uncomfortable element to these arguments. In short, to argue about economics is to argue about race and our past.
Which is one of the reasons that every time there is a slight change in government, or an election, everyone both locally and abroad starts to fret and worry and prepare for economic policy Armageddon. Knowing full well that the structure of our economy is simply unfair and wrong, those who are the 'haves', and those who have invested money in this economic structure, worry deeply. But over the last five years the ANC itself appears to have actually, slowly, started to shift to the right. Under President Jacob Zuma. For real.
In 2009, Jacob Zuma was about to become Mr President. He had emerged victorious from the rain and mud at Polokwane in 2007, and after brushing aside a few legal matters, was headed for the Union Buildings. (And towards Nkandla, but that's another story.) At the time, there were two major pressing concerns for most of the politically aware....

I love just who you are, I ain't goin' try to change ya.
You are a shooting star, that's why you are my favorite.
I love just who you are, I ain't goin' try to change ya.
You are a shooting star, that's why you are my favorite.
I caught her when she feel from heaven.
1 to 10, baby girl is an 11.
And I ain't trying to spit no game but I'm trying to figure out from where you came.
Because a star like her man it rarely occurs in a world like this.
Only will you ever meet a girl like this, get up in a spaceship and take that trip.
You gotta have a way with words.
Keep a short low convo to get at her.
Every other chick becomes a blur.
Be my misses I'll be your sir.
I love her, the way she is, the way she are, a shooting star.
And I pray that you never change, never ever change.
Stay the same, cause
Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane.
Na baby girl that's a shooting star with your name.
I ain't gon lie.
I told a lot of lies and played a lot of games.
But with you it's not the same, for you I'm a ride.
I want you by my side.
I feel like them ghetto boys, you're playing with my mind.
I'm a tell you one more time.
For you I'm a hustle, for you I'm a grine.
You were there through the pain, you stood right by me, thanks to you I survive.
I guess it's true what they say, love is blind.
We together till the day that we die, till death do us part.
Baby you my heart.
They can take all the houses and the cars.
But they'll never take my shooting star

Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)
This trio heads off into the mountains together to search for gold, but it's obvious from the beginning that there's too much tension between them for this to end well. Huston masterfully foreshadows the explosions to come, in tightly packed frames where the characters seem jammed together, pressed against one another, their fates intertwined as they share the same cinematic space. In one early shot, Dobbs and Curtin shake hands, agreeing to become partners, and Huston frames Howard in the background, looking on sadly at the hands joining in the foreground. It's obvious that he already knows: this union will be only temporary and fragile, will shatter as easily as two hands drawing away from one another after a handshake. (Or as easily as the film's illusion of verisimilitude is shattered whenever Huston awkwardly stages a fistfight.)
Throughout the film, Huston's images have this kind of clarity and insight into his characters. His deep-focus compositions are strikingly beautiful, but more than that they have texture, they have weight to them. The scratchy beards of the prospectors look as sharp and spiky as the spines of cacti in the rocky area around their camp. The dirt and exhaustion of their labor is palpable; they move with the feel of men who have actually just spent all day in the sun hauling rocks and swinging pickaxes. Huston immerses his audience in this world, and thus he allows the quarrels between the men to develop organically from their frustrations and daily toils. Dobbs' innate greed and ornery nature, already evident in the early scenes of him as a beggar in a Mexican town, becomes even more dangerous once he's at the gold mine.
In one of the film's most telling early scenes, immediately after Dobbs had begged enough money to get himself some food, he is approached by a young Mexican boy (played by a very young Robert Blake, of all people) asking for money for a lottery ticket. Dobbs simply snarls at the kid and tries to chase him away, even throwing a glass of water at his face. Dobbs has no sympathy for those like himself, no understanding of the parallels between his own situation as a beggar and that of this boy — once he gets some money, he doesn't care about anybody else. It's as though he's forgotten that only an hour earlier he'd been approaching strangers as well, begging for money without even a lottery ticket to offer in return. Later, when he's dreaming of what he'll do when he's rich with all his gold, he describes a rich man's day of indulgences: a Turkish bath, ordering fancy food at a restaurant, and treating the staff with contempt. Dobbs seems to see money as an excuse to act superior to others, to become what he hates when he's poor.
There's a not-so-subtle socialist undercurrent to the film in scenes like this, and at times it's startling just how much Marxist critique Huston was able to smuggle into the film. At one point, Howard all but quotes from Karl Marx, applying the labor theory of value to the search for gold, theorizing that gold is valued so highly because its price factors in all the labor that went into searching for it, not just of those who actually found it but of all those men who didn't find it as well. More pointedly, Dobbs is oblivious to his own class status, and he's such a miserable figure because he never recognizes any companionship with those who struggle, like him, for every coin that falls into their hands. Instead, Dobbs — like Curtin and Howard to a lesser degree — embraces the race for wealth, the all-encompassing greed that dictates that there is never enough. Instead of truly uniting himself with his partners, developing a trusting, mutually beneficial relationship, he sabotages everything with his paranoia and every-man-for-himself ethos.
Dobbs is, essentially, the ugliest incarnation of a popular American icon, the rugged frontier iconoclast, striking out on his own to make his fortune. Huston completely undermines this figure, suggesting that his determination is far from admirable, and Bogart plays Dobbs with ratty, nervous energy: he's both hunched-over and wrapped up into himself. He's cruel and vicious, a hard contrast against the compassionate, righteous Curtin and the vivacious, doggedly cheerful Howard. As Howard, Walter Huston continually steals the show, infusing his character with a touch of the eccentric old codger charm of a Walter Brennan role, as well as a quiet dignity and decency that shows through especially in the scene where he tries to read the last letter a dead man had received from his wife, and keeps stumbling over the words but determinedly pressing on. He's at his best, though, in the film's final moments, when he reacts to tragedy and defeat with hearty, heaving gales of laughter, his body shaking, his mouth wide open, letting out gasps and howls of convulsive laughter. It's the only possible reaction to the unfairness and absurdity of what's happened, the way all his struggles and labor have led, ultimately, to nothing, at least in material terms.
For Dobbs, of course, such laughter would never be possible. He's too obsessed with money to ever laugh so genuinely over its loss. He's trapped by money, and trapped by the things it drives him to do. In one of the film's most memorable shots, Dobbs lies down for a guilty, sleepless night beside the campfire, and Huston has the flames lick up across the frame, obscuring Dobbs' face from view, swallowing him up. Dobbs is sentencing himself to Hell, to a self-imposed Hell of greed and perpetually unfulfilled desires. He can never have enough, and so he's devoured and cast aside, with no one to protect him and no one to mourn his loss.

It is known that the area of the largest equilateral triangular
section of a cube is 140sq cm. What is the side length of the cube?
The distances between the centres of two adjacent faces of another
cube is 8cms. What is the side length of this cube? Another cube
has an edge length of 12cm. At each vertex a tetrahedron with three
mutually perpendicular edges of length 4cm is sliced away. What is
the surface area and volume of the remaining solid?
From the measurements and the clue given find the area of the square that is not covered by the triangle and the circle.
Scientist Bryan Rickett has a vision of the future - and it is one
in which self-parking cars prowl the tarmac plains, hunting down
suitable parking spots and manoeuvring elegantly into them.
A white cross is placed in a red disc as shown and the resulting
figure is symmetrical.
What is the area of the disc still showing?

First scrapple experience.....
Loved the grilled scrapple which was served plain and seemed to be salty enough. Has that hash browns look to it, so I almost pretended it had that consistency. Did not even remotely churn the stomach. I will be back.
New Acropolis:
1200 Frankford Ave
(215) 634-2211
Don't know how popular scrapple is in comparison to cheesesteaks and soft pretzels in Philly, but I'm guessing it should have been on that '8 cities and dishes list' from 12/13

Each invention has to be approved by our Opportunity Assessment Board who considers many factors when determining the appropriate devices for in-licensing. Meet our team.
Inventors: Learn about how we define and extract value.
Strategics: We can augment your product acquisition capabilities.
At Proception Medical, LLC., we have a singular mission: Value Creation. Our ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between the surgeon "Inventor", and the medical device company, "Strategic". Whether you are an Inventor looking to get your invention to market, or a Strategic in search of your next device to add to your portfolio, Proception can help.
Copyright © 2014, Proception Medical, LLC. All Rights Reserved
Inventors are finding it difficult to finance early innovative ideas. This is mainly due to the fact that venture capitalists are focused on later stage products and Strategics prefer to acquire revenue positive technologies.
At Proception Medical, we create value by bridging the gap.
As a medical device developer, our goal is to in-license commercially viable inventions, develop them with a team of talented engineers, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, then take them through a rigorous beta and limited launch with world class surgical partners.

A quick daily look at what's happening around Steelers Nation…
– Non-Steelers related: Sam Bradford agreed to terms with the St. Louis Rams late Friday night, and it's a whopper of a contract. It's going to pay him a guaranteed — and unthinkable — $50 million. Meanwhile, Eric Berry, the No. 5 overall pick in the draft, became the highest-paid safety in NFL history thanks to the deal he signed with the Chiefs. Yup. There's nothing wrong with that system.
– Ed Bouchette had the big score on the first day of camp, getting a one-on-one with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. On what to expect from fans on Saturday: "Driving up here today I was talking to my dad, and for the first time it hit me about what is about to happen and – who knows? I got scared. I really did." [Post-Gazette]
– To make room for Maurkice Pouncey, Jason Worilds and Flozell Adams the Steelers released linebackers Lindsey Witten and Johnny Williams, as well as long-snapper Matt Stewart. [Steelers Depot]
– Head coach Mike Tomlin seems to be pleased with the conditioning of his team following the annual run test. Also included is a note that the entire team will be heading to Canton, Ohio on August 7 for Dick LeBeau's Hall of Fame induction. I really do believe LeBeau is the most respected person in the entire organization. [Steelers.com]
And for your random YouTube of the day: This is a long one, but it's a good one. The Steelers defeating the San Francisco 49ers during the 1984 season in what proved to be the Niners only loss of the season.

Hugo Chávez: A Test for U.S. Policy
By Michael Shifter
March 8, 2007
View PDF Document
The relationship with Venezuela poses a major challenge for U.S. policy in the hemisphere, but Washington has shown little skill or consistency when dealing with Hugo Chávez as he moves to polarize the region and disrupt the U.S. agenda, according to a special Inter-American Dialogue report released today. The report, by Michael Shifter, vice-president for policy at the Dialogue, offers ten guidelines to help U.S. government officials formulate a more coherent approach to the complex Venezuelan situation and build a more effective presence in the region.
In addition, the report addresses the impact of Chávez's growing international profile on U.S.-Venezuela relations, particularly the varied economic ties within the region and the connection with Iran. The monograph also presents analysis of internal Venezuelan issues such as the growing military role in politics, the moves towards nationalization, and efforts to restrict press freedom.

Alone in the Dark and Test Drive Unlimited developer Eden Games has closed, the Lyon, France-based studio has confirmed (via Eurogamer).
The studio originally opened in 1998.
The official closure of Eden Games comes nearly a year after studio owner Atari labeled the studio as "discontinued operations," suggesting its shutdown was not far away.
The studio's final game was 2011's warmly received Test Drive Unlimited 2 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Previously developed titles include 2008's Alone in the Dark and the 2006 original Test Drive Unlimited.
In 2011, Eden Games formed a "symbolic strike" aimed at protesting a wave of forthcoming layoffs at the firm, believed to total as many as 80. A letter from Eden Games claimed "mismanagement" on the part of Atari and noted the publisher was not willing to enter negotiations with the studio.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

12.1": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Most netbooks have a tinier display. The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.4 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist only few sub-notebooks, which weight less. 10 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

The Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare (CASCW) is now accepting applications for Title IV-E funding from prospective and current Master of Social Work students who are interested in child welfare.
Federal Social Security Title IV-E funds subsidize child welfare services to keep children in their families when possible, provide permanency planning services, or finance out-of-home placement. Public child welfare services are those provided by state or county child protection, foster care, adoption, and family services agencies.
By providing Title IV-E educational support to MSW students, CASCW seeks to improve the quality of public child welfare services. Students who receive this support follow child welfare-specific curriculum requirements, including selecting Family and Children as a primary concentration. Students also attend CASCW meetings, forums, and experiential learning events to further their knowledge, and seek and accept post-graduate employment in a public child welfare setting.
Financial support varies each year, depending upon CASCW's access to federal matching funds. Generally financial support amounts to $5,000 per semester for three or four semesters depending on student program. Stipend awards are contingent upon the Center's receipt of Title IV-E funding. The Title IV-E budget and University educational costs for 2014-15 are not known at this time.
To apply, please visit our Title IV-E Stipend Information webpage.
If you have questions regarding Title IV-E educational support, please contact Liz Snyder at email@example.com.

A Memorial Service for Lavenia Ray Miles will be held Saturday March 22, 2014 2:30 PM at Emmanuel Baptist Church 4211 Old Hwy 12 Starkville MS.
Lavenia Miles, the daughter of Lonnie Mac and Atlie Ray, was born on February 25, 1923. She attended Self Creek School until the age of 12 when she graduated from the 8th grade. She then attended Starkville High School and graduated in 1939 at the age of 16. Her next stop for education was MSCW where she majored in Home Economics earning her BS at the age of 19.
After graduating from the "W" she began her working career at the shell loading plant in Prairie, MS as a chemical analyst. Lavenia met and fell in love with a dashing young man named Wallace Miles who was, at the time, attending radio school at MS State College. The two were married at Camp Pickett, VA after Wallace joined the United States Army Air Corps. Lavenia went on to become the first female civilian ambulance driver at Camp Pickett. She was awarded the position due to her ability to "double clutch" (a skill her father, Lonnie Ray, had taught her). Lavenia and Wallace returned home to Starkville after his tour in the Philippines.
 Lavenia taught General Science at Starkville High School in 1956 and 1957. Though her term at SHS was short, she is still to this day revered by many as "the best teacher I ever had." Lavenia entered into a career working for the USDA at the Boll Weevil Lab on the campus of MS State University. She continued her education while working and rearing seven children and eventually earned her Master's degree at MSU in Entomology at the age of 52. She authored multiple publications on 'Boll Weevil Eradication' and also produced a patent. Her work carried her to the Mississippi Delta where she aided in research toward containing and eliminating the sugarcane borer, along with several other crop invading pests at the Stoneville, MS USDA Lab. Her last stop on her USDA tour of duty was the Fire Ant Research Laboratory in Gulfport, MS. After several years of research there, she retired from the federal government.
Not one to sit idly by, Lavenia went on to obtain her license in real estate and worked as an agent on the Gulf Coast for several years. She also returned to the public school system and taught elementary school before returning to Starkville in 1996 to finally retire at the age of 73. Upon her return to Starkville in, she resumed painting which yielded countless paintings that the family will treasure.
Her accomplishments were many and her talents overflowed; however, she will best be remembered for her exceptional ability to find the best in everyone. Even though she was a woman of high moral fiber, she was fair, nonjudgmental, and accepting of others. She touched many lives, and those who have experienced her kindness are honored to call her "Sisi." She had a hand in raising so many more children than her own seven. It was seldom that family members were the only ones present at the supper table.
Her last years in Starkville were spent surrounded by family, friends and loving care givers: Eddie Pearl Gibbs, Virginia Boyd, JoAnne Howard, Mary Purnell, and Betty Skinner. There are not enough words to express our gratitude to these wonderful, caring, and loving ladies!
 She leaves behind seven children who loved her dearly: Wally Miles Starkville, MS, John Ray Miles Starkville, MS, Rita (David) McReynolds Starkville, MS, Esther (Chuck) Berman Woodinville, WA, Dicye (Billy) Murphy Cedar Bluff, MS, Kim Miles (Harley) Burke Watsonville, CA and Lonnice (Rex) Fields Starkville, MS. Eighteen Grandchildren: Denise Miles, Molly Jennings, Michael Miles, Joe Miles, Wade Miles, Lauren Miles, Connie McReynolds, Davey McReynolds, Dustin Berman, Chelsea Berman, Melanie Jennings, Caleb Murphy, MaryEsther Elam, Mark Murphy, Craig Burke, Jennifer Burke, Chris Burke, Dalton Fields. Nine great-grandchildren : Austin Miles, Brittany Miles, Jennifer Miles, Emily Jennings, Lucy Jennings, Laura Jennings, Mackenzie Murphy, Cole Elam, Logan Murphy. A loving brother: Eugene "L.E." Ray Bay St. Louis, MS and loving sister Rita Joyce (Larry) Futral Starkville, MS. Numerous nieces and nephews. Special "adopted" daughters: Renea Bowles, Cynthia Crosswhite, Patsy McLemore. A very special friend Ben Smith.
 She is preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Wallace Miles, her parents Lonnie and Atlie Ray, sister Agnes Lambert and daughter-in-law Brenda Wade Miles.
 In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Adaton Methodist Church cemetery fund, Adaton Baptist Church building fund, Elizabeth Chapter 73 OES.

I ended up spending Valentines Day & the entire weekend with Bru Bear
(Thanks Shade' & Bag Inc.).
Shade' and Bag Inc. came together for a giveaway and let's just say that my not so lucky butt won. I never really win anything so when I got the news, I jumped up in the bed and started dancing. It's ok if you wanna put up the "L" sign.
I love this bag!
Caught up with Mindy in Elle Magazine.
I loved the article but I was disappointed that there wasn't more about her. One page does nothing for me! However, I loved how B.J. Novak's thoughts of her were used. It was...sweet.
...and I am so ready for Book 4 and Season 4! April can you please hurry up & get here?!
I haven't seen my munch in more than two months, horrible I know...but I got to spend one amazing and busy day with her. Let's just say that I'm not planning on having kids any time soon. At least with this cutie, I can give her back *whistles*

Dr Oz: Erase Blemishes by Eating Salmon
Are you ready to start the New Year looking and feeling 7 Years Younger? Dr Oz has the Revolutionary Anti-Aging Plan to help you feel and look seven years younger. From what you put on your skin to what you put in your body, he has the answers you need to see improvement right away.
Dr Oz: Good Housekeeping Seal
Rosemary Ellis, Editor-in-Chief at Good Housekeeping, told Dr. Oz that for products to get the Good Housekeeping Seal they must do what they promise and they must really work. She went on to explain that this is determined through the hard work of many experts from various fields in the Good Housekeeping laboratory.
Dr Oz: Relearning Age Rules
Rosemary Ellis says that while she watched her own mother apply cold cream every single night to take care of her skin, times have changed. Thanks to research and amazing new products in as recent as the last 10 to 20 years, we have new ways to treat our skin and keep it looking healthy and youthful.
Dr Oz: Look 7 Years Younger – Skincare
Diane Berson, a Dermatologist, explained to Dr. Oz that many women make the mistake of over-cleansing when it comes to their skin. For example, if you wash your face at night before going to bed, it is not necessary to wash it again in the morning because this will just dry out the skin.
Use Alpha Hydroxy Cleanser (AHA) at Night– Diane Berson explained that using this type of cleanser will help to naturally exfoliate your skin and cleanse your pores, leaving you with a smooth and radiant glow. She says you can find a variety of AHA cleansers right at your local drugstore for under $10 each.
Look for Acids that end in "ic" like:
- Glycolic
- Salicylic
- Lactic
- Citric
Dr Oz: Ceramide Moisturizer & Home Peel
Use and At-Home Peel Weekly – Dr. Diane Berson recommends an at-home peel, which is basically a more concentrated version of an Alpha Hydroxy Cleanser, as it works more deeply into the skin, leaving it with even more glow and radiance.
Use Mega Moisturizers with Ceramides – Dr. Berson explained that ceramides work to restore the lipids in your skin, which will leave it plump, soft and smooth, rather than dry and rough. You just need to use a dime-sized amount every day to see the results that Dr. Berson shared. The best part is that, like the AHA cleansers, they can be found at your local drugstore for under $10.
Dr Oz: Yellow Peppers Erase Wrinkles
Samantha Cassetty, Registered Dietician, told Dr. Oz about her "youth foods", which are foods you can eat that will make you feel and look better.
Erase Wrinkles with Yellow Peppers – Yellow Peppers are loaded with Vitamin C, which is an antioxidant, so if you eat about 10 slices per day, you will begin to notice improvement in your skin's appearance.
Erase Sagging by Eating Eggs – Samantha Cassetty explained that eggs are a wonderful lean protein, which helps to support the collagen in your skin, which is the layer just under the surface. If you eat just 1-2 eggs per day you will begin to see less sagging in your skin.
Dr Oz: Whole Grains For Damaged Skin
Erase Damaged Skin and Eat Whole Grains – Whole Grains contain Selenium, which research has shown helps to protect from UV rays, which are horrible for your skin. Eating about 3 servings of whole grains per day will give you the benefits and help to erase damaged skin.
Erase Blemishes and Eat Salmon – Salmon is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which help to calm inflammation, like in the case of blemishes.
Dr Oz: 7 Years Younger Success Stories
Dr. Oz welcomed two women who worked through the 7 Years Younger program and both were very pleased with the results, especially since they lost a combined weight of 10 pounds without even trying. They also shared how wonderful they now feel overall and how much healthier their skin looks and feels.

The Sling Media folks pinged me this afternoon to share their latest news. SlingPlayer Mobile v1.1 for iPhone was submitted to the iTunes App Store for approval. Let me get the bad news out of the way first, so we can focus on the good stuff — there's no 3G streaming support in the new version. You still have to use Wi-Fi to watch live or recorded television from your SlingBox hardware.
There are four reasons for the upgraded version though — the first three are certainly welcome but the fourth one shows where the product is headed:
- True 16 x 9 support that fills the entire width of the iPhone and iPod Touch screen
- An improved remote control interface
- Faster connection, channel change and remote control response times
- Integrated DISH Remote Access for users with DISH Network Satellite TV
Unfortunately, I lose out on the last item since I just left DISH for Verizon's FiOS TV. After nine years as a happy DISH customer, I figured it just made sense to go all out with the FiOS when I ordered my 20MBps Internet connection.
Since I can't test the feature, I'll have to rely on the screencap and what the Sling Media folks tell me: the app speaks directly to the DISH hardware now. This allows SlingPlayer Mobile to draw a content guide natively on the iPhone instead of transmitting a picture of the guide from the television. Users can also search and filter guide results with SlingBox Mobile in advanced ways that go beyond the methods used directly on the DISH guide.
The new version will be available as soon as Apple approves it. I expect it to be a free upgrade to existing owners of SlingPlayer Mobile 1.0 — it's $29.99 to purchase if you don't already have it for your iPhone.

Local residents check on October 4, 2012 the damaged house where five Turkish civilians were killed on October 3 by a mortar bomb in the southern border town of Akcakale.AFP PHOTO / BULENT KILIC
AKCAKALE: A crowd of neighbours flocked Thursday to the small grey house in a poor district of the Turkish town of Akcakale which had been home to Zeliha Timucin and her three daughters,
They died Wednesday when a shell fired from Syria, just across the border and the theatre of fighting between the government and rebels, struck their house.
It shattered a low wall, smashed a washbasin and came to ground in the house's small courtyard, near an olive tree, where the mother, her sister who had come to help prepare the evening meal, and the three girls were gathered.
Neighbour Ibrahim Kahraman was shouting at adults and children alike.
"Stop walking in the courtyard," he ordered. "There are still parts of dead bodies."
Another neighbour pointed to a plastic bucket, saying in it, under a child's flip-flop, were among other things hair and a piece of tongue.
Inside the building, behind windows smashed by the explosion, hanging from a rack were the dead woman's black dress and a purple head scarf, the traditional colour of the region.
A man came, armed with a broom, to clean the courtyard.
Another neighbour, an old man with a white headdress, leaned on a wooden cane.
"I don't want to go further away," said Ali Kazra Uzun, a farmer of 85. "I've nowhere to go, my life is here.And in any case it'll soon be time to harvest the cotton and corn."
Halil, a boy of 13, knew two of the three dead girls.
"We are used to living with danger," he sighed.
Another neighbour, Ali Bayat, was badly frightened.
"We were eating as a family when a shell landed in the courtyard of our house, too," he said. "Luckily nobody was hit."
The border with Syria is less than 500 metres (yards) distant. Since mid-September the three-starred flag of the Syrian rebels has waved over the border post of Tall all-Abyad but sporadic fighting continues.
It brings with it stray bullets or misdirected shells which hit Akcakale. As a precaution the Turkish schools are closed.
The day after the shelling it was announced that members of the Turkish parliament were to visit the town. But Ali Kazra Uzun has no wish to see them.
"They are coming too late," he said. "They should have come to reassure us and see us before people died."
The people of Akcakale, most of them of Syrian origin thouugh Turkish citizens, are both shocked and angered by the war on their doorstep. Since daybreak they had gathered to discuss what had happened they day before.
Abdulkadir Guvenc, like his father born in Turkey, was among them.
"Before we all used to live together, Syrians in Syria. But at the end of World War l the town, which used to be Syrian, was cut in two," he recalled.
"The north went to Turkey, the south to Syria. My grandparents became Turkish. We don't want any more losses among civilians, or war between us."
Zeliha Timucin, her sister and the three girls were quickly buried Thursday morning in a Muslim cemetery. Akcakale has no morgue.

In the early hours of this morning, fire crews were called out at 1.48am to a vehicle trapped in a ford at Pendrys Lane, Hawthorn Hill, Warfield.
The car, which was driven by a male in his early 20s, drove into the ford but the speed of the water spun the car round to face the other direction.
The car was described as a four by four landrover, and by the time firefighters were on the scene the four men and one woman, all in their early 20s, had been forced on to the roof of their car.
Water levels were described as 'stomach height', and firefighter Rudy Gallagher, who attended the scene, said: "The driver said he had driven through there before and it was fine, the water was up to the bottom of the car windows."
Two engines from Bracknell and Maidenhead attended, with a water rescue from Caversham deploying an inflatable boat, which was used to access the stranded occupants.
One doctors car and two ambulances arrived, and the occupants were taken into the care of ambulance. No one was injured, just described as 'cold' with one man treated for hypothermia as a precaution.
Five police officers were also called to the scene at 1.52am, assisting the fire crews.
Police left the scene around 3am, with the last engine leaving the scene at around 3.20am.
It is believed the car was removed from the ford this morning.

Pothos is the Greek word for "longing", a divine power (daimon).
According to the Greek author Pausanias (second century CE), the sculptor Skopas made statues of Eros, Himeros, and Pothos. They were exhibited in the sanctuary of Aphrodite in Megara.note[Pausanias, Guide to Greece 1.43.6.]
Aristobulus, one of the biographers of Alexander the Great, seems to have introduced the Pothos-motif in the histories of the Macedonian conqueror of the Achaemenid empire. He and all ancient historians after him believed that Alexander's inner drive was a kind of longing to see foreign countries. One of the attractions of the word was that an author who used it, could leave Alexander's reckless behavior during battles and sieges and his outrageous drinking habits unexplained. Like his legendary ancestor Achilles, the famous hero from Homer's Iliad, Alexander the Great had chosen to be famous and die young.It is possible that the official portraits of Alexander were influenced by the Pothos of Skopas. If so, the idea to link the king with a longing for knowledge was contemporary with his conquests.
The idea of "longing", can also used by found in the works of the Greek neoplatonic philosophers like Plotinus (205-270). These authors use pothos to describe our passion for beauty, our thirst for knowledge, and our longing for everything that is good and real. In their philosophy, our mind and soul are, so to speak, lower manifestations of the first principle; we have been "cast down" and locked up into matter, which is the lowest manifestation of the first principle. This being our condition, we want to go back, "up" in the cosmic hierarchy, to gain knowledge and experience beauty - in other words, to live in a higher reality.

'Political Animals' keeps Sigourney Weaver in controlAdd to Favorites | Political Animals
Costume designer Ann Roth made a rare foray into TV to dress Sigourney Weaver's character, Secretary of State Elaine Barrish, in the new USA Network series "Political Animals."
"I was only asked to do Sigourney's clothes, and that was pretty much at the last minute," she tells Zap2it. "We are very old good friends, and she is an actress as opposed to a movie star. I work in the movies and do Broadway shows. I have done maybe three TV shows. It is not my medium."
One of Roth's challenges was to design clothes that spanned several years in which Elaine goes from first lady to presidential candidate to secretary of state.
"We approached it by inventing the clothes that we think this woman had," she says. "She's probably a Harvard graduate, but she's very educated and very poised and a very smart woman beloved by America. ... We wanted her dressed as a woman who could be on a plane to Paris or Belgrade and suddenly they say turn the plane around and go to wherever, and so her life should be exciting that way. She should not be dressed like an intimidating statesman but easy, in a lot of skirts and jackets and blouses."
However, dressing the 6-foot-tall Weaver for the role was not easy. It was important to Roth that Elaine always was covered in a polite way, and when she sat down you couldn't look up her dress.
"She should not in any way be provocative in the real sense of the word," she says. "We made all of her clothes, except maybe her blouses. Show me a dress for a 6-foot-tall woman in America that comes below her knee."
Roth notes that Weaver "has a very nice waistline and is in exceptionally good physical shape," which led to the creation of an important skirt she established very early on.
"This is a pattern that I made in the beginning when I first started this. I did that very high waistline that gave her long legs and a tiny waist. You can always do with another 2 inches of legs. The skirt was made by Eric Winterling in New York at his shop. All of her things were made there. It's a cross blouse. The jacket we bought the first day because we were in such a hurry. I liked it very much. I like how the shoulders look, where it ended at her upper hip and the slimness of it."
"The red one-piece is pants and a halter neck. It is made of six-ply silk and rayon crepe. It's a very wonderful piece of fabric. Fabric is everything to me. We also made the orangey-red patent leather belt that is rather spectacular."
"This is a gold lace dress that we found that was maybe vintage, and we tore it apart. We needed it to say at least 15 years ago, and she was a hostess wearing that. That was a hard one."
"That grey, silky trench is Armani. The red coral necklace came from Capri. We wanted her to wear jewelry that was not precious but that reflected her life as someone who appreciates other countries. The red disc necklace is from China or maybe Iran."

Anniversary of 3.1 Popular Uprising Observed
| Pyongyang, March 3 (KCNA) -- An event took place in Pyongyang on Tuesday to mark the 92nd anniversary of the March First Popular Uprising under the sponsorship of the Council for the Reunification of Tangun's Nation.
It was attended by members of the council and people from all walks of life in Pyongyang.
Disclosed and denounced at the event were crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists who brought unspeakable misfortune and sufferings to the Korean people.
A joint resolution of the north and the south was made public there on the occasion of the anniversary.
The resolution called on the organizations of the national movement in the north and the south to pool their efforts and wage a movement for national reunification by carrying forward the spirit of sovereignty and independence of the participants in the March First Popular Uprising and thus conduct a dynamic mass movement for foiling the Japanese reactionaries' moves to stage a comeback to Korea and forcing them to make an apology and reparation for their past crimes.
Declaring that the Koreans will resolutely oppose all sorts of treacherous and anti- reunification acts of infringing upon the interests of the Koreans in collusion with outside forces, the resolution called on them to go united as one under the banner of "By our nation itself!" to achieve the great unity of the nation and vigorously advance along the road of independent reunification

To the casual observer, the Starkville High boys soccer team's 4-0 win over Columbus Saturday at the Starkville Sportsplex might have seemed a bit like a replay.
Just six days after the Yellowjackets defeated the Falcons 3-0 in Columbus, SHS put away its Golden Triangle rival again by a similar margin, but Starkville head coach Brian Bennett said Saturday's triumph was strikingly different than Monday's victory.
"(On Monday) it just seemed like we were playing long ball and not really getting into any kind of rhythm in the game," said Bennett. "(Saturday) we were really concentrating on getting some passes down and working it."
Starkville's renewed focus led to four different Jackets scoring goals as SHS improved to 4-0 for the young season.
Aiding Starkville's cause, according to Bennett, was the wider dimensions of the field at the Starkville Sportsplex.
"That was an advantage for us and helped us play balls and keep them on the ground a little better (Saturday) than we did (Monday)," said Bennett. "But we worked on that in practice all week too and that's something that we've got to do as we start playing better teams. If we make ourselves chase balls for 80 minutes, we're going to be one worn out team."
The Jackets controlled the pace of Saturday's match from the beginning, keeping the majority of the action on their side of the field.
That finally paid off for SHS late in the first half when Dylan Howard scored to put Starkville up 1-0.
The Jackets maintained their slim advantage until the middle portion of the second half when Kolby Howard and Taylor Wise each added goals.
Justin Gordon put in the contest's final goal with just seconds remaining.
All the while, Columbus struggled to find any scoring opportunities, giving SHS goalkeeper Addison Watson a slow day.
"We were missing a couple of guys in the back, but we had some guys step up and make the plays when they needed to," said Watson of Starkville's defense. "That makes my job easy having strong defenders like that."
Bennett said defensive performances like Saturday's are an example of what his team is capable of.
"(Defense) is definitely one of our strong points," said Bennett. "We dropped guys back there to keep it strong. Ideally, we want to build from the back and start those passes from the back and work it up.
"We want to be strong in the back, not just physically and having the ability to kick the ball far, but we want to be able to settle that ball and pass it around."
Starkville will look for similar defensive success on Nov. 29 when the Jackets return to play by traveling to Tupelo. The girls' match begins at 5 p.m.

Starkville 8,
Columbus 0
Carolina Berryhill's hat trick sparked Starkville's dominant win over Columbus.
Aside from Berryhill's three goals, Hannah Laird scored twice and Kate Mattox, Haley Jenkins and Katelyn Swiderski each had a goal apiece for the Lady Yellowjackets.
"We played an excellent game," said Berryhill. "We played with confidence and did what we needed to do to win."
Starkville improved to 4-0-1 this season with the victory.

I was once again hired by Robert Friedman of Fearless Branding to developer a new web site for one of his clients. For this project I needed to redesign a web site for his clients, The Elkind Group. They had a web site at the time but were not happy with it and also wanted to be able to update their own content and blog.
I worked with Robert and his designer to create a layout that met all their requirements. I then create the web site in WordPress and include a custom backend. The reason for a custom backend on this site was so the client could easily add documents on certain pages. I create a simple form so they could upload pdf articles which would then be formatted with a specific icon and download link. This is another case where the client only needs to fill out a small form and the page will be create for them dynamically, without any coding on the clients part!

The Board of Court Reporting provides a complaint procedure that is available to the public. The Board allows individuals to file a complaint after they have exhausted all other remedies, including but not limited to contacting the court reporter, judge or attorney responsible for the particular proceeding. The Board cannot, by law, give legal advice. This procedure was developed to be a disciplinary tool and it does not authorize the Board to make changes to transcripts or expedite the transcript process.
Upon receipt of a complaint, the Board of Court Reporting will review the complaint, and any supporting documentation, on its face. The Board will typically schedule a meeting to determine whether to (1) require the respondent (e.g., the court reporter) to answer the complaint, or (2) dismiss the complaint without further action.
After receiving the respondent's answer to the complaint, the Board may decide to hold a hearing on the complaint. If a hearing is scheduled, the complainant's attendance, testimony, and active participation may be required.
Per O.C.G.A. § 15-14-33(c)-(d), among the disciplinary penalties available to the Board of Court Reporting are: the administering of a public or private reprimand; probation, suspension, or revocation of a court reporting license; the establishment of a completion date certain for outstanding transcripts or other care such as, counseling, or treatment the Board may direct; the imposition of a requirement to pass the state certification test; or requirement of monetary adjustment in a fee dispute involving an official court reporter (i.e., a court reporter who reports judicial proceedings in a court). Please keep in mind that the Board of Court Reporting does not address any other remedies outside of O.C.G.A. § 15-14-33(c)-(d) which may be available to you by law.
