ARLINGTON, Texas -- More than a week ago, Josh Hamilton stood atop the dais at Rangers Ballpark as the most valuable player of the American League Championship Series. Having just beaten the New York Yankees in front of a national TV audience, Hamilton's journey from the depths of drug addiction to a World Series berth was showcased.
But now, Hamilton and the Texas Rangers are far from that feted night. Their stories of redemption and adversity have been overshadowed by a different sort of toughness courtesy of the San Francisco Giants, who have put the Rangers in an 0-2 hole in the World Series.
The Rangers, who entered the World Series as the favorites, have suffered from myriad breakdowns in their game. And they're looking for answers heading into Saturday's Game 3.
"We got outplayed, as simple as that," veteran third baseman Michael Young said.
For one, the majors' top hitting team (.276) is hitting just .227 through the first two games. While players attributed most of the Giants' success to their pitching, some Rangers did acknowledge that there was something off in San Francisco.
"They have the momentum now, but even before the first game was won, it seemed like they had the momentum," Hamilton said after Game 2. "I think maybe it seems we're having fun, but we're not having fun. We're tightening up a little bit."
Hamilton took a towel and wiped his forehead, perplexed and unable to express how this team could be askew. As Hamilton acknowledged, there isn't much time to figure it out. The Rangers are now faced with having to win four of their next five games, a task made difficult under any circumstances, but especially against the Giants' pitching staff. Thus far, San Francisco pitchers have a 3.50 ERA compared to Texas pitchers' 10.69 ERA.
"Going down 3-0 is not an option," Jeff Francoeur said. "That's too much. So obviously for us this is a must-win game."
Now, Colby Lewis faces the task of keeping Texas in the series. The 31-year-old journeyman pitcher's story has been well-documented: Originally a 1999 first-round sandwich pick by the Rangers, Lewis was released by three MLB teams. With his career on the precipice, he pitched in Japan for two years before re-signing with the Rangers this winter.
His teammates believe he will be as calm and focused as he was against the Yankees in the clinching Game 6 of the ALCS, when he held them to one run in eight innings. Lewis was nonplussed when asked about the enormous pressure of pitching a must-win Game 3.
"You can't look at it like any added pressure on you. What for?" he said in the clubhouse after Game 2. "There's really no added pressure, you just have to go out and perform. That's it."
Cliff Lee's poor outing in Game 1 contributed to the Rangers' being two games down in the series, but Lee couldn't have been expected to spin gems every postseason start. There have been other issues during the first two games. Here are a few that need to be corrected in Game 3, and certainly beyond, if the Rangers expect to make the Series competitive.
• Elvis Andrus and his speed: A few weeks before the end of the regular season, manager Ron Washington sat in the Toronto Blue Jays' visiting dugout and spoke about Andrus, who at 22 is the youngest Rangers player in postseason history (closer Neftali Feliz is three months older). When asked which of his players without postseason experience could best handle the intensity and pressure, Washington mentioned Andrus' name first, without hesitation.
"Whoever taught him baseball, and I mean whoever taught him in his home country, they did a good job," Washington said at the time. "He picks up little things so quick, and he knows the game so well for someone so young."
Washington was correct. Andrus, the leadoff hitter, has shown no fear this postseason, hitting safely in his first 12 games, until going hitless in Game 2 (Nelson Cruz also had the same streak snapped Thursday). Andrus created havoc on the bases against both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Yankees, including stealing home and disrupting pitchers. His 18 hits are the most on the team this postseason, as are his eight stolen bases.
"It's huge. You can see the only game we didn't score was [Thursday], and he didn't get a hit," Cruz said. "He's the leadoff [hitter]; he gives you the energy that we all need. When he's off, our whole team is off. It shouldn't be that way. As a team we've got to pull all the pieces together."
One of the Rangers' strengths in the first two rounds was producing runs a bit unconventionally by using speed and taking advantage of mistakes (plus a little luck). Cruz stole third (even though he should have been there anyway, were it not for a side session of showboating) in Game 5 against the Rays, then scored the go-ahead run when the throw to third sailed over Evan Longoria's head. Andrus stole home against the Yankees as part of a double steal in Game 2, an eventual 7-2 win. Without the speed, or the risk taking (or the luck), and especially without Andrus getting on base, the Rangers' offense is less dynamic.
• Feliz and the bullpen: The Rangers relievers' 3.38 ERA during the regular season was the second lowest in the American League, and their 22-year-old closer, Feliz, set a rookie record with 40 saves. But other than Game 3 in the ALDS against the Rays, Feliz has not been brought into a close game in the postseason. Down two runs in the eighth inning in Game 2 on Thursday, Washington bypassed Feliz and elected to use, among others, Darren Oliver, Mark Lowe and Derek Holland. Washington said he was looking at matchups and didn't want to use Feliz in a role he hasn't been in before.
Feliz said he prefers to work often because it's more difficult for him when he doesn't, and said he was hoping to get into Thursday's game. He hasn't pitched in a game since Game 6 of the ALCS, which was eight days ago.
"They know during the season when I have too many days off I'm not in shape," said Feliz, who last threw a bullpen session on Monday. "I was thinking I would [pitch on Thursday] because of the situation in the game, and because of the many days I had off."
While these are small sample sizes, here are the ERAs of a few Rangers relievers through the first two games: Darren O'Day (18.00); Michael Kirkman (13.50); Lowe (67.50). Holland, who walked three straight batters in Game 2 and threw only one strike out of 13 pitches, has an ERA of infinity because he's been charged with three runs without recording an out.
"We're going to have to pitch good out of the bullpen in order for us to get deeper into this series," catcher Matt Treanor said, "and have a chance to win."
• Hamilton and the offense: When Hamilton crashed into the outfield wall in Minnesota on Sept. 4 and injured his ribs, it was unknown if he would recuperate and regain his swing in time for the playoffs. Hamilton alleviated those fears by hitting .400 with four homers as the ALCS MVP, instilling so much fear in Yankees manager Joe Girardi that he was intentionally walked five times. But in the first two games of this series, Hamilton has only one single in eight at-bats and zero RBIs. After Game 2, Hamilton grasped for reasons why he and the team have struggled.
"Obviously you say if it's early in the season we've got to work on it," Hamilton said, "but we've got to get it done; there's not much [season] left."
Clearly, the onus is not entirely on Hamilton, especially when he, Young, Cruz and Ian Kinsler are a combined 5-for-33 with two RBIs.
The lack of a designated hitter was also a major disadvantage for the Rangers. Washington elected to play Vladimir Guerrero in right field in Game 1, and while Guerrero never lost the game on one play, his fielding was less than stellar. Washington lost Guerrero's bat in Game 2 by putting Cruz in right and David Murphy in left. Guerrero might be aging, but this season his 115 RBIs were the most on the team and fourth most in the league. He also drove in the game-winning run in the pennant-clinching game.
Washington, though, insists that Game 2 was simply a case of the Rangers running into a fantastic Matt Cain.
"We've played games all year where Vlad wasn't in [the lineup]," Washington said. "Throughout the year every guy on this team has stepped up in every situation that we've been presented with. We didn't get it done, and more than anything else, it was Matt Cain."
Since Washington and his players have said Game 3 is one they must win, they have one more chance to show that this series isn't over.

Nevertheless, school finance litigation has flourished in state courts. In these cases, challengers have relied on equal protection clauses 1 and/or education clauses2 contained in state constitutions. By now, lawsuits challenging the legality of state systems of public school finance under state constitutions have been brought in at least 43 states. In 19 states, courts have declared school funding systems unconstitutional and have ordered reforms—with varying degrees of specificity and success. Court decisions in 24 states have rejected school finance claims. In 9 of those latter states, however, challengers subsequently sought relief under a different legal theory, and most of those cases are currently pending. If history is any guide, school finance litigation promises to remain active well into the next century, at least in those states with perceived educational "haves and have nots."
This chapter examines the origins, evolution, achievements, and future directions of school finance litigation. Despite dramatic state-to-state differences, the courts across the nation increasingly have become a voice in the school finance debate. As will be seen below, however, the final resolution of complex school finance issues in nearly all states continues to be determined largely through the legislative and executive processes.
During the late 1960s, several scholars and lawyer activists began examining America's system of school finance, in which, everywhere but in Hawaii (which has a single statewide system) and the District of Columbia, money raised by local school districts through local property taxes was the heart of the scheme. These newcomers to the world of school finance learned what experts in the field had long known—that, by giving local governments the primary power and responsibility to raise funds and set spending levels in public schools, states had created systems that substantially advantaged some children over others. Notwithstanding the publication of the Coleman Report (1966), which raised doubts about how much money really mattered in improving student outcomes, these scholars and activists found a great deal unfair about the funding of the nation's public schools.
These early reformers put forward new legal theories, which in turn had major implications for the role taken by judges and legislatures in changing the way public schools would be financed. In other words, although each claimed that the existing system violated the requirement of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution that states not deny individuals "equal protection of the law," they differed greatly as to what equal protection required.
Arthur Wise was one of the first to lay his ideas out in print (Wise, 1968). For Wise, the problem was that school spending varied dramatically from school district to school district within most states. Indeed, in many states high-spending

Dogs often attempt to play with or chase cats, but they do not hate them. Dogs have a wide variety of behavioral responses to cats. Some dogs are quick to chase virtually any cat they see, others play and cuddle with those that wish to, and some have little interest in cats at all. In general, dogs that chase cats do so because of a high innate prey drive.Know More
For dogs with a high prey drive, cats are no different from any other small, prey-like creature: They are potential prey. Accordingly, such dogs chase cats on sight, just as they chase squirrels, chipmunks and birds. This tendency is often most common among herding breeds, which normally have high prey drives. Dogs that lack such high prey drives may still be compelled to chase cats, or any other animals, that run.
Many dogs enjoy spending time with cats and may treat them as they treat other dogs. It is difficult to predict which dogs and cats are likely to get along and which ones are likely to fight, so introductions must always be performed under close supervision. An owner should never restrain a cat when making introductions because the cat may become nervous from the restriction and attempt to flee.Learn more about Pets
Chronic diarrhea in cats is caused by several different conditions, including irritable bowel disorder, parasites, tumors, birth abnormalities (short colon, for example), sensitivities to diet and exposure to toxic materials, reports PetMD. Changes in the food that the cat eats and providing food that is difficult to digest or that is high in fat may exacerbate the chronic diarrhea problem.Full Answer >
Persian cats will generally eat any type of higher quality commercial cat foods; they usually do not respond well to cat treats. Persian cat diets can also be supplemented with pumpkin, goat milk and vitamin supplements.Full Answer >
Cats in animal shelters that do not get adopted are sometimes euthanized, while others are sometimes sent to new shelters or placed into rescue groups foster care. The animals at animal shelters are usually given a specific period of time to stay in the shelter that they are not allowed to exceed.Full Answer >
Dogs naturally shed their hair, and the amount they shed has to do with their overall health, breed and the time of year. If a dog is shedding excessively, it may be a sign of poor nutrition, stress or a medical condition.Full Answer >

LO is in our room right now in her crib, I'm wanting to transition her into her own room now as she's a VERY light sleeper and we have to tiptoe around to avoid waking her. Anyway, our master b/room is downstairs and initially her room was going to be upstairs - on the opposite side of the house ,but I can't bear to put her in that far!
So, we have another room downstairs which again is on the opposite side of the house,(past the living room, stairs ) but at least is on the same level. We're decorating this now, but every night I get nervous and worried in case our monitors may fail and I won't be able to hear her if she needs me. Hate these open plan FL homes lol!!

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Kanye West Is Not 'Creative Director' of Jetsons Movie, Says Producer
"There is no such thing on a movie," declared Denise Di Novi, clarifying the rapper's Twitter announcement.
When Kanye West unleashed his grandiose Twitter tirade on Wednesday, he announced that he would become "creative director" of The Jetsons movie.
"I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson movie and someone on the call yelled out.. you should do a Jetsons tour!" he declared, launching further tweets-of-consciousness about fame, art, fashion and revamping the education system with director Spike Jonze, among other ideas.
As for the Jetsons, that was news to the project's producers, Denise DiNovi and Donald De Line.
PHOTOS: Jay-Z, Kanye West Perform at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
"There is no such thing on a movie," Di Novi responded in an interview with New York magazine's Vulture site. "There's an art director and a production designer." That said, they did indeed talk to West this week, and intend to involve him in the film somehow. (Just not as creative director.)
The Warner Bros. project remains in its very early stages, and, after years in development, the Di Novi-De Line duo is looking to hire a screenwriter and a director. As it happens, West is an ardent fan of the cartoon classic and has been attempting to become a part of the live-action movie version for two years.
REVIEW: Jay-Z, Kanye West: 'Watch The Throne' Concert
So on Wednesday, Warners connected West with the producers via teleconference to talk shop for 10 minutes.
It was "preliminary and exploratory and introductory," said De Line. "We explained how our process usually works, that usually there's a screenplay, and a director in place first, and that this was … a nontraditional way, but then, he's a guy with his fingers in a lot of pies, and who likes to work out-of-the-box."
DiNovi said she was impressed by West's futuristic vision.
"I don't know him; until yesterday, I'd never talked to him in my life," she said. "I don't know what else to tell you. He's not the creative director on the movie, but I loved his passion for The Jetsons. He gets the whole thing about the future that never was. He sees us living on a precipice of technology -- cameras in your eye, your mind as a remote control to fire lasers -- and wonders how things are going to break, for good or for bad."
West's representative did not immediately respond to THR's requests for comment.

"We have received so many compliments on our sons birth announcement. We love this layout. Perfect amount of space for the picture we chose and lovely font for all of the birth information. The cards came very quickly in the mail and were great quality! Thanks for the perfect birth announcement."
"We wanted something simple, yet beautiful for our baby's birth announcements. We selected the pearl paper, and it's just what we hoped for."
"Super easy to create and it turned out just the way I wanted it to. Love the colors and the design. The paper was high quality and they weren't very expensive at all. Will definitely be purchasing more from tinyprints.com"
"I liked how the text looked as if it were painted. The colors were vibrant and the announcement itself was very clean and simple (not too much text or clutter). I received many compliments from people saying how gorgeous the announcement was and how they hadnt receieved one like it before. The card quality and printing was great as always!"
"It was so hard to find a simple, stylish baby announcement card design! I just switched the back side colour to white and added three small photos to put some artistic shots of her feet etc and it looked great. This was very simple but beautiful and let the baby be the star of the show! :)"

Have A Vibrant April by Spending It in Branson
The month of April usually sees the vibrant colors of nature back after the winter chill. It is also a great time to spend a few days on vacation. For your vacation this April, make sure that you go to a place where you can get to appreciate the gifts of nature. One such place is Branson Missouri.

Rave about the new acts, performers, and gimmicks that the artists will be performing. During April, the show tickets are also less expensive because there are not much tourists in town. If you happen to visit Branson around April 15 to 24, you will get the privilege to enjoy more Branson shows at a much lesser price with the Springtastic Show Spree. You can enjoy ten different Branson shows for one low price! This is one way to make the most out of your Branson experience while saving some bucks.
There are also special events in store for you this April in Branson. Silver Dollar City, Branson's most famous theme park, brings you one of its most anticipated festivals – the World Fest. From April 17 to May 5, you can enjoy experiencing different cultures and several exciting performances from talents all over the world. Aside from the World Fest in Silver Dollar City, people can also participate in the US Open Bow Fishing Championship on April 6, and the Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce Spring Gold Tournament on April 19.

The Ozark Empire Fair
Just about everybody loves going to the fair. It is an event so full of excitement and fun and new things to see and do that you almost can't help but love it! Most people have fair memories full of things like cotton candy, Ferris wheels, livestock shows, corndogs, concerts and more – and the Ozark Empire Fair, held annually in Springfield, Missouri, about an hour north of Branson, has all that and then some. If you happen to be visiting Branson during the fair season and are looking for something fun to do, you are in for a treat!
The Ozark Empire Fairgrounds are always a host site to a fun and interesting event – but the biggest and the best is, of course, the annual Ozark Empire Fair. For seventy-eight years, the fair has been bringing joy and excitement to the Ozarks community. Ozark Empire Fair (OEF) has grassroots beginnings in the early 1900s. What began as a traveling display of handwork and crafts that was always held somewhere in Springfield soon grew in popularity so that the fair needed a more permanent location. A location was found next to the grounds of the city zoo, and once it was approved, stock shares in the new endeavor were offered; thanks to the monetary funds from the stocks, along from many financial gifts from those in the community, construction was soon underway.
The first official Ozark Empire Fair held at the OEF Fairgrounds and Event center was held in October of 1937. The popularity of OEF continued to grow and today, the event attracts thousands through its gates each year. Visitors can enjoy a carnival put on by Wade Shows, where you can ride all those thrillers that only the fair can offer. Pig races, petting zoos and camel rides are also favorites – after all, who wouldn't want to cheer on a pig or find out what it's like to perch on a camel's hump? Music, art displays, a local market, and plenty of kid activities are also on hand for your OEF enjoyment. Be sure to catch a livestock show while you are there – no fair is complete without seeing a few cute kids showing cows and sheep.
OEF is constantly adding new rides, exhibits and activities. You'll want to come back year after year to continue making great fair memories with your family!Read More ...

Lambert's Cafe is an Ozarks Institution
There are a lot of good places to eat in the Ozarks, and many different types of cuisine showcased here. There are restaurants serving Mexican food, or cubbyhole sandwich shops, or fine dining Italian venues. You can find Chinese food (Springfield, Missouri, is actually the birthplace of cashew chicken!), Greek food, American food (think fried chicken or hamburgers and milkshakes!) and every sort of food in between. Many of the restaurants that serve food around here are quite well know and have been at it for some time. But none are as popular, or as famous, as Lambert's Café in Ozark, Missouri. It's well worth the drive if you are staying in Branson – so get ready to catch some throwed rolls, folks!
"We hope you come hungry, leave full, and hopefully have a laugh or two!" This is the motto of Lambert's Café, the only home of throwed rolls. Folks who are from out of town and visiting Lambert's for the first time are often amazed by the generous portion sizes of hearty, home cooked food – and of course, the fact that food is regularly thrown around the restaurant! Most people will agree that Lambert's Café is certainly one of the most fun and filling places to eat in the Ozarks!
Lambert's Café came about on March 13, 1942, when Earl and Agnes Lambert made a business transaction that would later make history as the home of throwed rolls. With a mere 14 cents between them both, they borrowed $1,500 from an acquaintance, hired 5 people to work from them, and opened for business in a small building on South Main Street in Sikeston Missouri. The café could seat a total of 41 people, and served meat, vegetables and sweet treats. The café was establishing a foothold during the difficult years of World War II, and rationing of supplies made for a tough break in the restaurant and food service industry. But through perseverance and dedication, Lambert's Café came out on top and today, boasts three locations: one in Sikeston, Missouri, one in Ozark, Missouri, and one in Foley, Alabama.
This historically rich and tasty café does not accept credit cards, but instead prefers to deal in cash and checks. Chances are, if you arrive at meal time, you may have a long wait ahead of you! But don't worry – this cool, old fashioned restaurant has plenty to look at while you pass the time. Once you're seated, get ready to enjoy foods like fried okra, chicken and dumplings, taters, macaroni and tomatoes, black eyed peas, and of course, those throwed rolls. Save room to polish off your big meal with some tasty dessert! You can even order a few things to take home, like a cinnamon roll or some house BBQ sauce.
With such a long history and such a great eating experience, it's no wonder that so many folks will go out of their way to visit Lambert's Café. Be one of their next guests – you are sure to leave full and happy!Read More ...

One of the Original Shows in Branson - The Baldknobbers
It is no secret that Branson has been around for a long time. It has a rich history behind it, one full of bluegrass and wooded hills and dreams. Branson was first made famous when author Harold Bell Wright wrote and published the book 'The Shepherd of the Hills' in 1907 – after the novel was released, everyone wanted to see this backwoods town. Branson's fame and size of township continued to grow and today, Branson is home to world famous theme parks, fantastic lakes, and of course, those amazing shows. The shows are what draw people to Branson year after year – but how did the show circuit get started in Branson? The answer would be the Mabe Brothers, an old skating rink, and a show called The Baldknobbers – the show that started it all.
In 1959, Jim, Lyle, Bill and Bob Mabe decided to make history in the Ozarks with a show that would feature timeless country music and down home comedy that would help make the town of Branson famous. Using the name of the vigilante group of old, the Mabe brother's show became known as 'The Baldknobbers' – and they were an almost instant hit. Locals, tourists, and fisherman who came to test the waters fell in love with The Baldknobbers musical, funny and authentic show. The Mabe brothers show grew so popular that they decided to relocate their production to an old skating rink in town – this rink became Branson's first live entertainment theater.
In 1968, the now famous show expanded again, this time into The Baldknobbers Theater on Highway 76. The current theater has been renovated a whopping six times, and now proudly seats an audience of 1,500 guests who come to see the show. After the fame of The Baldknobbers, other shows began popping up in Branson and today, the town has more live theater sets than Broadway!
Second and third generation family of the original four Mabe brothers are proud to carry on their family traditions. They play music from modern hits to old country classics and back again, making sure to mix lots of side-splitting comedy in between! With a talented Christian cast (many of whom performed at other well-known venues before coming to rest at The Baldknobbers Theater) and great special effects, you will see why The Baldknobbers has always been a favorite in Branson.
Now that you know the history and the inspiration that still rings true today behind The Baldknobbers, the show that started it all, you won't want to miss catching this great Branson show. Chances are, you will end up wanting to see it again and again! So book your tickets to see The Baldknobbers today.Read More ...

Geocaching in the Ozarks
Geocaching is all the rage these days. It's all over social media, on TV, and there are even clubs for it. All across the United States, folks are catching geocaching fever. And Branson, Missouri, and the surrounding Ozarks areas, are no different. But what IS geocaching exactly? Who can participate? What are the rules and guidelines? And WHERE does geocaching take place? Read on for more information on Branson geocaching!
What Is Geocaching? Geocaching is referred to as 'a real world treasure hunt.' It takes place outdoors, and geocachers find a hidden container (the geocache) using a GPS enabled device (an app on a cell phone, or a real GPS). The geocache is hidden at a precise set of GPS coordinates. When geocaching participants find the cache after locating the GPS coordinates, they then enter their name and the date they found the cache in the logbook or logsheet inside the container. People can use the logbook to see how many other people have found the same cache, or how long ago! And that is not all – geocaches often have other items inside them too. Folks who have found the cache before you may have left any number of items for you to find – you never know what you'll get!
What Are The Rules? Geocaching has few rules, but it makes the nation-wide treasure more fun for everybody when they are followed! Rule #1: If you remove an item from a geocache, leave something of equal or greater value behind (preferably in a plastic bag to protect it from the elements). Rule #2: Make sure you record your experience in the cache logbook. Rule #3: Log your geocaching experience at www.geocaching.com (This is the website you visit to get started on your geocaching adventure!)
What Do You Need? To get started geocaching, you'll need a membership with geocaching.com, which is free, and a GPS or a GPS enabled mobile phone. Those are the basic necessities – but here are a few other items you might want to consider as well! Geocache locations are very diverse, and some are challenging to reach. You may want to consider wearing long pants, in case you need to hike through the woods, and bringing a sweatshirt or light jacket in case of rain or cooler temperatures. A backpack to carry water, snacks, and whatever goodies you intend to leave behind can be helpful as well!
Where Do You Start? You can start looking for geocaches anywhere you happen to be at – they are hidden all over the world! If you are a local person hoping to do some Branson geocaching, you are in luck – there are several caches hidden right in your backyard! Happy hunting!Read More ...

Can't Find These Attractions Anywhere But Branson
Branson is full of things you won't find anywhere else in a vacation hotspot. And not only is this number one tourist destination full of unique Branson attractions, there is a huge variety of attractions as well!

Only in Branson, that's where!
The Butterfly Palace

Located on the west end of Highway 76, this is one attraction you and your family will be talking about for months to come.

Lake Taneycomo
For a fishing experience like no other, get your fishing pole and tackle box and head down to Lake Taneycomo to catch some trout! This lake holds cooler waters than Table Rock Lake, making it perfect for trout fishing AND for supplying power to the surrounding areas by way of hydropower. Lots of folks like to fish just below the Table Rock Dam on the Taneycomo side – perhaps because the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery is located just up the bank! The Power Site Dam in Forsyth and Lilley's Landing, across the lake from the College of the Ozarks campus, are also great spots to try your luck at trout fishing!

Outlaw Run is not a roller coaster for the faint of heart. It is a unique Branson attraction that requires an adventurous spirit!

Get the Best Selfie Opportunities With These Branson Landmarks
Branson, Missouri, the Live Entertainment Capitol of the Midwest, is a pretty memorable town. There are lots of places, people and things in and around Branson that really stand out in your mind. They are the kind of things that locals will refer to when they give you directions around town, and the type of things that you want to get your picture taken in front of. They are some of Branson's best landmarks and photo stops! Read on to know what to look for when you're cruising around town during your next Branson trip.
The Inspiration Tower at Shepherd of the Hills
The Inspiration Tower at Shepherd of the Hills is by far the tallest of the Branson landmarks, and one that you can see from all over town. This 230 foot tall tower was built at Inspiration Point, which was the first campsite of Harold Bell Wright, author of the book that made Branson famous: The Shepherd of the Hills. At the very top of the Inspiration Tower, you will find an inspiring 360 degree view of the beautiful Ozark hills. If you don't want to take the elevator back down, ride down the Vigilante Extreme ZipRider – you will get your picture taken by a staff photographer of you soaring down the ZipRider – what a great photo opportunity!
Table Rock Dam
Table Rock Dam, built by the Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s, is a landmark and photo opportunity that is as famous as it is functional! A brainchild of Congressman Dewey Short, the Table Rock Dam was built as a means of flood control along the White River. Today, it is the technology that controls the lake levels of both Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo. This is one Branson landmark that you will want to take some photos of – the view from the top is amazing, and even better if you are lucky enough to catch the water being released! If you would like to tour the inside of the dam, tickets for tours can be purchased inside the Dewey Short Visitors Center, just a stone's throw away from the dam.
Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum
Located on Highway 76 (The Strip) in Branson, the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum is full of odd things worth taking a photo of. Shrunken heads, vortex tunnels, and transformers made from car parts are just a few of the fun and unique things you will find inside. Photo opportunities abound here, but what makes the museum one of the Branson landmarks is the building itself! The structure appears to have massive cracks going through it, and looks like pieces have tumbled to the ground. Don't worry though – it's supposed to look that way! This already unique museum is modeled after the 1812 Earthquake that hit Missouri and really did tumble buildings!
These are a few Branson landmarks and photo hotspots to get you around town – but don't limit yourself to just what is listed above. Get out there and discover your own landmarks – and snap a few pictures while you are at it!Read More ...

More than a few experts labeled 2014 as the "year of the breach", and a list of all the companies that experienced security issues last year would be an entire article itself. Massive organizations are the ones that get the headlines when they experience a security issue, but companies that are infinitely smaller are just as vulnerable to breaches, if not moreso.

As I've been exploring what it means to effectively utilize workflow, storage and archive in our industry, I've seen these concepts go far deeper than I initially imagined. A workflow for a small post house might be very similar to what a workflow for a major studio looks like in principle, but in practice those workflows come together and function in a very different way. Similarly, having a storage capacity of 30TB might be more than some content creators need, while others are getting into exabyte levels and finding that's still not enough.

This fifth example from the series focuses in some of the finer details on winter's beauty. Little details like frosting on trees, like the countours in the snow where the movement of the wind through the little tree has made unique patterns in the snow. The hint of morning mist, turned pink by the rising sun, while the shadows are still blue in the early dawn light. Little details of beauty - more winter's splendor!

good value for money, staff are nice. The fresh pastries and bread are lovely too. The environment is nice too, especially upstairs.
The Delifrance inside Attalla shopping mall has closed couple of months ago, so I just wanted to pass the info. If you made the trip to here you will find better alternatives.
Delifrance is a place that I frequented and I can say that every aspect has deteriorated. The prices have gone up, quantities reduced, staff reduced so more waiting time and for sure the quality as well. The cappuccino we ordered were below par, and the famous tuna mayo sandwich really tasted bland. There was a good breakfast menu which I...

Delifrance is a cafe that serves food. The name can be misleading, because the don't really serve French dishes. It is rather referring to the pasterires, baguettes, and other varities of bread they offer for dine-in and take-away. I find the menu very good when it comes to food quality and prices. Sandwiches are their strongest offerings. When it comes...
