Don't let the headline fool you. Funlola Aofiyebi is more than what the other Spice Girls are. OLUMIDE IYANDA writes
Forget her role as Ese in Violated. Forget her as Kofoworola Baker in the hugely popular television soap, Palace. Funlola Aofiyebi is not some spoilt babe who just returned from abroad only to boss over some people. Yes, she has lived in England for seven years in real life. Yes, she played the role or roles of a "has been" in Violated and Palace convincingly, but 26-year-old Funlola needs to be seen beyond these roles in the two productions. This explains why she has not been seen in any other video or television production after Violated and Palace. Nigerian producers tend to typecast actors and she does not find that challenging. She believes that soon the girls will be separated from the women and the Nigerian moviedom will rise from its current uninspired state.
Currently, Funlola presents A Touch of Spice, an interactive radio programme on Star 101.5 FM in Lagos. For one hour (8-9) every Saturday night, listeners are regaled with a pot-pouri of well cooked home made entertainment. A segment of the programme is about throwing a poser where listeners can call in and respond to questions about everyday happenings. Trivia questions are asked which callers provide answers to. There is also interview of guests where Funlola asks probing questions from the guest.
The word Spice is very significant to Funlola. It signifies something that adds the finishing touches to a meal. In her own case, that meal can be a party, a mood or any other occasion. It represents a positive impact on people's lives. "Spice appeals to me because it is something that adds zest to life," she told TEMPOLife.
Although Funlola has always had the trademarks of a Spice Girl-sassy, confident, witty and a beauty that radiates from within-she did not adopt the name Spice until 1997 when she applied for a radio job. The station was Cool F.M., Lagos and she was part of the first batch of presenters that were trained to go on air. When asked to pick a radio name she promptly thought up Spice. While she never got to eventually present on Cool F.M., the experience she got during training inspired her. Cool F.M gave her a taste of radio broadcasting and the skills she acquired still serve her well.
Born on 24 November, 1974, Funlola is the last child of her parents. She grew up as one of the boys around her brothers and father. Her older sister travelled out of the country while she was still rather young and her mother is now in the after life. Primary education was at Maryland Convent School, while she started her secondary education at Maryland Comprehensive High School. She left after one year for a seven-year sojourn in England.
After finishing secondary school at Dick Shepherd School, Croydon, her folks thought it was wise for her to train as a doctor. This had always been their preference and it explains why she did science subjects in school. Her heart was, however, more in the humanities. To realise her dream, she worked and raised money to pay for her certificate course at Westminster College, West London. She returned to Nigeria in 1994.
With eyes on acting, presenting on television and radio and writing, Funlola soon settled down to the challenges the Nigerian entertainment industry presents. She started off modelling, appearing in calendars and commercials. The itch of modelling did not last long and it ceased to be challenging for her. Then one day, she went to visit her girl friend at the University of Lagos and that visit set her on the road to fame. She was expressing her disenchantment with modelling when one of the girls present suggested introducing her to someone presently working on a film production.
The person she was introduced to was award-winning director, Amaka Igwe and after serious auditioning she got her role as Ese in the acclaimed Violated. Ese was the overseas returnee wife of the character played by Richard Mofe-Damijo. From Violated, she moved to the theatre and appeared on the stage play, The Mansion written by Chief Rasheed Gbadamosi and directed by Bayo Awala. "Like joke, Like joke" her profile rose and her next role was that of which dreams are made. She landed the lead female role in Palace which incidentally was her first television appearance. In Nigeria, just as it is in other parts of the globe, the lead role in popular soap operas is a statement of an actor's talent and success. Names like Regina Askia, Ego Boyo, Clarion Chukwurah and Taiwo Ajai will always be remembered for their lead roles in Mega Fortunes, Checkmate, Mirror In The Sun and Winds Against My Soul respectively.
Palace which was directed by the dynamic duo of Tunji Bamishigbin and Ralph Nwadike remains one of the best things that came out of African Independent Television (AIT) before it faced its recent travails. While it remains to be seen what happens to Palace now that AIT is back, Funlola concentrates a lot of attention on her radio show. A Touch of Spice continues to win more instant fans, especially in the 15 to 35 age bracket. The challenges are tough but she gets by. Getting adverts is not easy but she has managed to secure some.
Her latest challenge is presenting New Dawn On Ten, a breakfast programme on NTA Channel 10 Lagos made popular by Funmi Iyanda. Funlola comes on board in April and she hopes to bring all her natural humour and wits with her. She admits that the programme represents a big shoe for her and she will strive to fill it successfully.
Her choice as a presenter for the programme is borne out of her quick wit and a universal knowledge of issues. As a young person herself, she hopes to appeal to more youths in the tradition already synonymous with the programme. Naturally, she can grab the attention of older persons as well. New Dawn On Ten represents the fulfilment of yet another dream. That is, that of presenting a programme on television.
With all her career dreams coming to fruition, Funlola continues to add just the right amount of spice to people's lives. Unlike the world famous Spice Girls, she does not need an exposed midriff or acts that can pass as soft porn to be a star. The final year sociology student of the University of Lagos knows she is good at what she does. If she really gets lucky, Funlola might add her dream of writing to her achievements very soon. And there's always the chance of a good movie script and director coming along soon.

I couldn't vote because my reason is not listed. I feel that if a woman has fake boobs, it says a lot about what she thinks about herself and shows what she obviously feels about others. I have dumped a girl soon as I found out about her fake boobs.

i can't imagine any guy actually liking fake over the real thing (if they do we ain't on the same page at all). it just would not make sense to me.
obviously fake are worse than real as fake just can't keep the natural shape that real ones have which is where the main problem lies with fake as for me breasts ultimately work or don't work well based on shape and how well they fit the body (that saying that 'bigger is always better' stereotype on us guys is not true for me as shape and how they fit the body is #1) as you can have small or big but without the shape and fitting the body well coming together you can't have a great rack as you can see some really tiny breasts work quite well on some females who have a tiny frame etc. but fake tend to obviously look fake and glued on which i never understood how people would prefer those kinds over any real ones.
with that said... there might be some okay fake ones here and there but they would have to be done really well.
bottom line... i would never consider having a female get fake breasts as it just don't make sense to me as a guy.
fake boobs > no boobs
i would most likely disagree here as you would have to be pretty much COMPLETELY flat to even consider that as if there is even a little bit there chances are the real will beat the fake in my mind and it's safe to assume the vast majority are at least that much or more which means even if i agreed with your quote there it would be pretty rare.

I never had to consider it. My wife of 21 years has real breasts and they're spectacular.
You mean were spectacular
I really like the good fake ones, the teardrop ones you cant tell if the woman is blessed with nice, firm breasts, or if they are the work of a good plastic surgeon.
There is nothing more disgusting than some flapjack laying down their chest. When it looks like a bowling ball inside panty hose
Great ones are:
Jessica Simpson (before weight gain & kids)
Katy Perry
Jennifer Love Hewitt
My ex (fake, but perfect)
Halle Berry
Hedi Klum a few years back (probably not now after kids)

Mathis storms past T-M in second half
Pirates march 97 yards for winning drive
CORPUS CHRISTI - The rushing attack of the Mathis Pirates marched 97 yards in the final minutes to cap a come-from-behind road win against the Tuloso-Midway Warriors, 29-22.
With the score tied and their backs against their own goal line, the Pirates calmly went down the field with the winning score coming on a 23-yard run by Rashad Washington.
Mathis scored the game's final 21 points, all in the second half, after falling behind 22-8 early in the third quarter.
"We're hoping it says a lot of our character," Mathis coach Paul Kilby said. "Anytime you have that kind of a comeback against that good of a team you're so elated with your kids. We can build on this"
The 97 yards on the winning drive came on the ground.
"I hope we don't have to throw the ball the rest of the season," Kilby joked with a smile. "I hope we've attempted our last forward pass."
The Warriors had a chance at the end to tie the game and looked like it might happen when quarterback Jonathan Iglesias found a receiver in the end zone.
Just before the balldropped into the hands of the receiver, Donnie Butler's outstretched hand knocked the ball to the ground and preserved the Pirate lead.
Butler also rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown.
The Mathis defense put up big plays in the final quarter to help spur the comeback.
"They were going in to win the game and Kayne Hargett knifes through and made a phenomenal play for a three-yard loss to make them kick a field goal and Joe Alvarado came in and blocked it," Kilby said. "That was two big-time plays by two big-time players."
Mathis got on the board first on its opening drive capped by a Washington 15-yard run.
Washington also ran in the 2-point conversion to give the Pirates the early 8-0 lead.
The scoring drive was set by a long kickoff return by Washington, which became a trend throughout the contest as the Pirates continually started drives around midfield.
Mathis looked to be on another scoring drive when it got stopped on a fourth-down play in TM territory midway through the second quarter.
Iglesias then connected with Kenny Smith for a 67-yard touchdown that brought the Warriors within a point, 8-7.
Iglesias dropped the ball right into the receiver's hands and led Smith down the sideline untouched for the score. The Warrior defense stopped the Pirates three times on downs deep in TM territory during the second quarter.
Both of the Warrior scoring drives in the quarter came off fourth-down stops by their defense.

Letters to the Editor: 08.17.12
Ret. Lt. Gen. Marc Cisneros, TAMUK president emeritus
Dismal state of public education
I applaud the article "U.S. standards faze Texas schools" on Aug. 9 by Rhiannon Meyers. This subject should be of prime importance to all of us in this region. I would venture to speculate that we are toward the bottom in the nation — and that is a center of gravity of problem.
But alas! You can already see the expected responses: It's the teachers' fault and we need more training for them; the standards are unrealistic and not valid (a feeling shared by those who failed and not shared by those few who passed).
I would recommend as a follow-up that you research the core reason for this dismal performance. I strongly feel that it's lack of parent involvement that is the prime reason.
Why do private schools do better? With school taxes being the highest of all property taxes, putting more money into the problem will not improve it.
Diverting school funds to vouchers for private schools will make competition a reality because competition is a necessity for excellence. I think most families would prefer to send their children to a private school that has as a core value honor, integrity and discipline — and not saddled by a political school board that worries more about contracting and re-elections than in correcting the problem.
But only the rich or middle income parents can afford to pay such high public taxes and pay tuition to a private school — so we continue with a mediocre system that is very self-serving. I can already hear the powerful and politically strong teachers union screaming.
Glenda Rae Gregorcyk
In defense of Ocean Drive
Mrs. Turner, you were a wonderful mayor and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce. I remember being so proud of Corpus Christi when you were featured in Texas Monthly. However, after reading your forum article ("Where have the flowers gone?," Aug. 12), and being an Ocean Drive resident, I feel compelled to comment.
Ours is a linear neighborhood that welcomes all of Corpus Christi and tourists everywhere to our own front doors. I remember the pride I felt recently while Ocean Drive residents waited for hours in the sun waving flags to welcome our boys back home as they made their way to the Naval Air Station.
We clean up our property after every fireworks display or waterside event because Ocean Drive belongs to all of Corpus Christi. There are lovely new tiled signs for Swantner Park and others. Mesquite trees and additional palms have been planted. The Gardens at Cole Park is in the beginning phase.
Blooming flowers on the medians may be gone due to the drought and extreme heat. I have personally dragged my water hose to the median at two in the morning several times just to keep the palms alive. Doesn't every neighborhood have its share of overgrown yards and eyesores?
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I just can't promise you a rose garden.

Bond language and surpluses
It appears to me that the bond proposals, that voters are required to vote on, are being deliberately inflated so a surplus is generated. Case in point is the anticipated $12 million left over from the 2008 bond money.
A clause in the approved 2012 bond language allows the city to spend leftover 2012 bond money on any pet project they desire.
If the city administrators had a moral conscience they would have used the excess 2008 funds to pay for items No. 2,3,5,6 and 7 on the 2012 bond election ballot. Doing that would still leave $3.6 million for them to play with. Items 4 and 8 should be dropped and add the funds to street repair.
How about using some of that excess money to re-stripe lanes on city streets before cars start banging into each other.

The film was a long grinding process, from 300hrs of footage
to be classified, down to a 10hr version of Dream Racer (I was happy with that ;)
Then it went to a 3hr version and every bit of chopping off was hard as everything was good. May be one day we will have that special 'Marathon' Edition
Down to 93 minutes, then the music
had to be composed from scratch, and finally the translations before all the various 'mastering processes.'
Now it's in the box, finally
and 'allllllllll' I need to do is spread the word out.
Here are a few more testimonials received:
"watching you again on discovery world. i think the 5th time this month. Really great. From Malta Europe."
"received the film a couple of days ago and finished it last night...snd if course for me it is the best period to watch it with the Dakar currently underway... what can I say.. simply a brilliant and motivating film.. well done to all the team."
"Loved it! got a little emotional watching you leave the start (reminded me of watching my husband head off in the Aus Safari & the emotions then) & then coming in at the end. It was a great insight to what goes into it all.. mentally, financially & logistically. It was also good to see what Simon went through, could understand that too, having organised a lot for the Safari & the feeling of constant nagging lol Well done guys."
"Salut Christophe, je viens de regarder le blue ray .... pfff !!! Simplement fantastique ! J'avais l'impression de revivre le Dakar avec ma 660 ! Franchement, c'est le meilleur film sur le Dakar que j'ai jamais vu !! Un énorme bravo à Simon et à toi pour ce travail de qualité. C'est vraiment l'esprit du Dakar, ce qui fait ma passion et a nourri tous mes rêves pendant des années."
"Saludos desde CHILE!!! Great Film!!!"
"This is the best film ever! It should be shown on TV, rather than those reality rubbish shows! This shows the true character of the human spirit!"
Dream Racer - Multi-Award Winning Dakar Film
"For me this movie had an incredible life changing effect, it just showed me that no matter what, one has the power to confront the unknown and come out on top."

Dell XPS 1530 fingerprint reader for Windows 7
I've downloaded the drivers from the dell site for vista x64 and they say that no fingerprint reader is installed. A friend of mine from school who I no longer can talk to had his fingerprint reader working on windows 7 so I know it is possible.
Does anyone know where the drivers are?
EDIT: and the software on the upek website, the beta that they're talking about, doesn't work on any build after 7100. So I can't use that either...
Re: Dell XPS 1530 fingerprint reader for Windows 7
Have you tried the software at www.dell.com/support ?
Re: Dell XPS 1530 fingerprint reader for Windows 7
I have the same laptop, with win7 builds after 7100, there is only one way to get it to work.
Install Win7 7100, install the upek beta win7 drivers for win7 7100, and then upgrade your win7 to later builds. Long process, but that is only way.
Vista drivers worked fine till build 7068, biometrics changed in win7 which made the drivers not compatible.
After the upgrade process from 7100 to 7137, Upek app will stay, but you will have to go to device manager and reinstall upek driver again.
Contacting upek for help will not help, they will respond by saying if you proof that you are official MS tester they will send you newer version.

This year I have added a new soap called Zanzibar Spice. It is a bit on the masculine side, but I think women will love it too. It has hints of clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper. Great for all types of skin.
After many requests I have brought back one of my original soaps called Poppy Seed Almond. It has a great spicy scent along with a sprinkling of poppy seeds. Great for helping remove excess soil or grease from hard working hands.

Preeti Gulati sat patiently for hours last October during a traditional ceremony in New Dehli, India, where her body was adorned in intricate patterns with a paste of henna and lemon juice.
In just two days the 29-year-old would leave the familiar comfort of family, friends, even her country for 30-year-old Aashish Paruthi, a man she barely knew and had not yet kissed. She did this not for love, but for marriage.
Paruthi left India for the United States seven years ago to attend graduate school and had decided to stay here to work. Although he had tried his hand at dating, he had not met the right woman.
"There were certain expectations, certain things that I wanted my life partner to have. I just never found anyone who was close enough to those expectations," Paruthi said.
So he gave up on the American dating scene and turned to tradition, asking his parents back home to arrange a match for him. A match not made in heaven, but in the classifieds. Just as in America, Indian matchmaking sites in newspapers and on the Internet are popular hunting grounds for singles.
Gulati's father had placed a typical matrimonial ad in an Indian newspaper on his daughter's behalf.
"He said, 'Groom wanted for beautiful young girl.' It's very normal here," she said. "The concept of an arranged marriage is something which has been prevalent in our society for the longest time."
In fact, today up to 90 percent of marriages in India and 60 percent of all marriages in the world are arranged. Gulati and Paruthi, with the help of their parents, had separately worked out a list of what they were looking for in a partner with categories including education, family background and career.
Gulati was interested in someone who was well qualified and respected her as an individual. Paruthi wanted someone who was comfortable moving to America and would get along with his family.
Reva Seth, author of "First Comes Marriage," interviewed more than 300 women in arranged marriages and says families do play a big part, not only in matchmaking, but also in the relationship itself.
"It's not just about the two of you and I think over the long term that takes a lot of pressure off a relationship," Seth said.
Indian singles, she said, have no problem trusting relatives to find them a match.
"People are looking for help and they're looking for a third party to step in and help mediate the process," Seth said.
And even though the idea an arranged marriage doesn't sound romantic, it may be the key to making the relationship work.
Anthropologist Helen Fisher said she believes that sharing common values and interests are usually the first steps leading to true love.
"These young people who barely met each other do fall in love at some point," she said. "They've got a partner who is from their social background, same general level of intelligence and education, deep family connections, the kind of things that create a stable marriage."
When Paruthi's parents saw Gulati's ad in the paper, they called her parents and scheduled a meeting for their children in India.
"The first meeting was just about me and Aashish knowing each other, and knowing the families. I really thought I'd like to meet him again and just see how things go with him," Gulati said.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- San Francisco 49ers president and CEO Jed York says the team has discussed sharing a new stadium with the Oakland Raiders but is focused "100 percent" on building a facility in Santa Clara.
York, son of owner John York, also said Tuesday the new labor agreement has made it easier to secure sponsors and the financial backing for a stadium. He says the rival teams wouldn't be competing for league dollars.
The Bay Area teams need to replace their aging facilities, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has urged both to work on a two-team stadium. But the franchises have never agreed on the site.
The 49ers have plans to build a stadium near the team's headquarters in Santa Clara, and Raiders owner Al Davis wants one near the Oakland Coliseum.

Highlights from snowy NY Fashion Week
NEW YORK (AP) — Fashionistas climbed over snow banks and girded themselves with their purses against brutal wind and sleet as a winter storm blanketed New York City on Thursday, the final day of Fashion Week.
But neither wind nor sleet nor snow stopped most fashion fans from their appointed rounds — i.e., the high-profile shows that traditionally close out the week. Outside the Ralph Lauren show in Greenwich Village, a few women could even be seen in stiletto heels navigating the snowy entrance. Most, though, sacrificed fashionable feet for practical waterproof boots. Employees shoveled walkways around the tents at Lincoln Center, and the tents' main sponsor, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, said in an email that "we plan to move forward with all shows as scheduled."
Lauren, Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs were the day's big draws.
Stephanie Comfort of Lakeville, Conn., drove into New York City for Lauren's show. "It was worth every effort," she said afterward. The trip in, which usually takes her 90 minutes, took 2½ hours. She didn't care. "We'll remember this forever," she said. She was planning to have lunch and do some shopping, and then drive back out to Connecticut.
Ashley Kozel, from Sarasota, Fla., had flown up in her private plane, just to attend the Lauren show. She wore purple suede high-heeled pumps by Christian Louboutin and a purple suede dress with a cropped leopard print jacket, both by Lauren of course.
"It's fashion over function," said Kozel, who had actually hitched a ride on her boyfriend's back for a few yards to avoid stepping in the ice and snow.
Sitting in the front row at the show was Terry Lundgren, CEO and chairman of Macy's Inc., who was wearing a pinstriped gray suit. He was unfazed by the weather.
"Fortunately, I have a four-wheel drive. We took our time," he said.
As for business, Lundgren said Macy's has been selling a lot of coats. He said Wednesday was strong but Thursday could break records.
At the Lincoln Center tents, Daiki Nagai, 20, of Tokyo, stood shivering under an awning where he had taken refuge.
The university student and two of his friends had the plaza, usually crowded with fashionistas and industry folk during the shows, pretty much to themselves as clumps of wet snow swirled around them.
"I'm waiting for models," said the math major. "But I haven't seen any."
By the 2 p.m. Calvin Klein runway show, the snow had already turned to rain. That didn't make it any easier. Huge puddles of brown slush Greeted anyone trying to get onto the block where the show was being held.
—Jocelyn Noveck, Anne D'Innocenzio and Leanne Italie.
Some might disagree, but the man behind the J. Mendel label says he loves to see women all bundled up.
"There's nothing more beautiful than a woman covering herself with layers of clothes," said Gilles Mendel, J. Mendel's designer and CEO, whose Russian-French family began the company as furriers in the 19th century.

Sam Houston's Wife (70 Edition)by William Seale
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
Although Sam Houston has been the subject 6f several biographies andand#183; many historical articles, little attention has been paid to his third wife, whose enormous influence on the Liberator of Texas has never before been examined closely. In this first biography of Margaret Lea Houston, a remarkable woman is finally awakened from the historical sleep which has enveloped her for over a century.
Alabama-born Margaret Lea was just a schoolgirl when she first saw Sam Houston arrive at New Orleans after the Battle of San Jacinto to have his wounds tended. "She later described having a premonition that she would some day meet Sam Houston," saysand#183; William Seale. "But she told that story many years later, after she had become his wife."
For marry Sam Houston she didand#150;in the face of strong opposition of family and friends and of Houston's friends and advisers. Twenty-six years younger than her husband, this protected child of a Baptist minister set out to change the life of the frontier hero. Aware that alcoholism and the sorrows of personal misfortune weighed upon him, she battled the former and sought to alleviate the latter.
Her abiding faith in him, coupled with his unceasing devotion to her and to their children, is a central theme of this book. The author explores the personality of Margaret, the idealist whose absorption in religion often led her to melancholia, the reader of romances who was never able to come to terms with the Texas wilderness, the wife who strummed her guitar and wrote love poems during her husband's absences on affairs of state.
This account of Sam Houston's wife, which presents details of the general's life not hitherto explored, is in addition a colorful picture of the time in which she lived. It is a realistic appraisal of Sam and Margaret Houston, to which the author has brought a fresh and sympathetic understanding. In writing the richly human story, he has made extensive use of unpublished manuscripts and original documents in private hands and public archives.
Book News Annotation:
First published by the U. of Oklahoma Press in 1970, Seale's biography won the Summerfield G. Roberts Award for Texas History in 1971. With a new (2 pp.) preface by the author.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 6/5/12
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Returning to the Minnesota Vikings for his fifth NFL season, linebacker Erin Henderson has learned all about the harsh realities of life in the NFL. Henderson's been dealing with them since he went undrafted in 2008. He had to work himself into a roster spot and then keep himself there with continued improvement. This offseason, he discovered the business side of the game. Minnesota's starting weakside linebacker entered free agency, hoping to cash in on his breakthrough 2011 season. Henderson, 25, was a starter for the first time last season and was hoping to get paid like one this offseason. He quickly found out being rewarded isn't always so simple, as the market for linebackers was slow to develop. "It was stressful," Henderson said last week at the Vikings organized team activities. "It was a learning process too. I learned a lot from it. I learned a lot about myself and what I'm able to endure and go through. You learn a little bit more about the busine...

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 1/17/13
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Jamal Crawford scored 22 points, Blake Griffin added 20 and the Los Angeles Clippers hardly broke a sweat in cruising to a 90-77 victory over the free-falling Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night. Lamar Odom grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out six assists, and the Clippers outscored Minnesota's bench 45-23 to overcome Chris Paul's third straight missed game because of a knee injury. Luke Ridnour scored 21 points and Ricky Rubio had four points and six assists in his first start of the season for the Timberwolves, who lost leading scorer and rebounder Nikola Pekovic to a bruised right quadriceps in the third quarter. The Timberwolves shot just 35.7 percent and missed 15 of their 19 3-pointers in losing their fifth straight game. Even without their MVP candidate out there to steer the ship over the last few games, the Clippers have been humming right along. Backup Eric Bledsoe clearly has been watching how Paul goes about his business because the third-year ...

Wayne Rooney shows off his interviewing skills - originally posted on Soccerlens.comManchester United star Wayne Rooney has already started polishing his post-retirement life as a TV presenter. Ahead of the big friendly game against Brazil, Rooney shows off his interviewing skills as he talks to fullback Leighton Baines and his former Everton teammate Leon Osman. England are playing their first international fixture of 2013 at the Wembley Stadium. The Brazil game is the first of a series of fixtures to celebrate 150 years of the English FA. Although only pride is at stake, it is an important fixture nonetheless. The importance of the fixture makes it tough for the Everton duo to be selected. Baines faces competition from Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole, who is set to become only the seventh Englishman to earn 100 caps for the Three Lions. Osman got his first cap for England in November 2012. He played the full 90 minutes in the 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Ibra XI – Sweden. If...

Review: QuickBooks 2010 for Mac
updated 01:15 pm EST, Thu January 21, 2010
App missing online banking, cross-compatibility
MacNN has reviewed QuickBooks 2010, the latest Mac edition of Intuit's Windows-based accounting software. A variety of upgrades have been made, including a New Company Setup Assistant, processing for debit and credit card payments, and sync with Address Book. Some improvement areas include search, and better invoicing, estimates and purchase orders.
The program is commended for its additions, which include an optional time-tracking module. The suite is however said to be missing critical features, like online banking, as well as cross-platform file compatibility. It is in fact described as a "second-class citizen" compared to its Windows sibling, which has been given more attention in terms of look and functionality. Intuit is selling the Mac edition of QuickBooks for $200.

Thread: Brush spacing issue
June 3rd, 2007 #1
Brush spacing issue
Just got this really weird brush problem in PS7.. Been fine up until now, it just kinda went boom all of a sudden. It's like the brush automatically turns spacing on whenever it's a smallish size; doesn't matter if I paint using my tablet or my mouse. I can't make it go away, and it looks awful. Help?

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/26/12
Drew Pomeranz made a solid case for a spot in Colorado's rotation while Garrett Richards might have wasted a chance to impress the Angels Monday as the Rockies beat Los Angeles 6-2. Pomeranz allowed four hits and a run over four innings in his fourth spring training start. Pomeranz, acquired in the deal that sent Ubaldo Jimenez to Cleveland, has a 0.82 ERA but he's been limited because of a tight glute. He last pitched on March 21 in a minor league game. Richards came in with a 2.00 ERA in three starts but he gave up six runs - four earned - and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out five and walked three. Carlos Gonzalez hit a two-run double for the Rockies.

Your official information source from the .NET Web Development and Tools group at Microsoft.
On December 19 we published a new tutorial series and accompanying sample application that shows how to work with Windows Azure Storage tables, queues, and blobs in a multi-tier application that uses ASP.NET MVC 4 and ASP.NET Web API.
The sample application is an email service that runs in a Windows Azure Cloud Service. The front-end is a web role that manages mailing lists, subscribers, and messages. The back-end is a pair of worker roles that handle scheduling and sending emails.
There are five tutorials: one provides an overview of the application, one shows how to download and run the completed application, and three show how to build the application from scratch in Visual Studio.
Here are links to the tutorials, with a sampling of what you can find in them:
Feedback is welcome; you can post comments here or on the tutorials themselves. One thing we know still needs work is the formatting of code blocks: the tutorials were written in Markdown, and we haven't found a way to copy and paste code from Visual Studio into Markdown that preserves line spacing and indentation when the Markdown is rendered into HTML. Suggestions for dealing with that issue are welcome also.
-- Tom Dykstra
Nice to really ..
This is the new series of tutorial apps for asp.net. There are five tutorials which have summary of the apps, how to download & run the completed application and how to build the apps from scratch in Visual Studio etc.
Good post. Thanks for sharing
Hi, I am new to MVC 4.0 using .NET 4.5 with entity framework. I am continuously struggling with WEB API with Entity Framework. I am not able to find out any example in which it could teach how to deal with complex objects. Can you please provide some example for that in which we could learn passing the complex objects into web api method (get, post, put, delete and all ) using entity framework ? I will be thankful to you for that.

if you read only one Father's Day sports story this weekend, make it this one
"Terry Collins moved his father to Florida last winter, but as spring training approached, the old man's compass pointed back to Midland, Michigan. It's freezing up there, said Terry. But Loren "Bud" Collins was 95, and knew where he wanted to rest.
"I just think it's time to go home," he said."

St. Louis challenges Missouri ban on gay marriage
Posted: June 26, 2014 at 9:36 a.m.
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis officials have challenged Missouri's constitutional ban on gay marriage by issuing four same-sex marriage licenses in a City Hall ceremony.
Four gay couples were married Wednesday in the office of Mayor Francis Slay in a ceremony presided over by a municipal judge.
Attorney General Chris Koster went to court Thursday seeking to stop the marriages.
St. Louis Circuit Judge Rex Burlison denied a temporary restraining order but will consider whether to grant an injunction at a later date.
Burlison said St. Louis officials have agreed not to issue more marriage licenses to same-sex couples at this time and would do so in the future only after notifying the court and attorney general's office.
State voters approved the constitutional ban on gay marriage in 2004.
