'Gilmore Girls' Creator Moves On to 'The Return of Jezebel James'
Proof is supplied by the two siblings in "
Enter Coco (the equally excellent Lauren Ambrose, formerly of
Or, as Sarah puts it in noting how "delicate" the subject is, "I need your uterus." The idea doesn't go over well with Coco at first ("I'll have all the morning sickness? I'll get fat? I'll have to go through hours of pain and screaming and sweating? And stretch marks?"), but since a weekly show is built on it, you can expect things to turn around quickly.
And just who is the returning Jezebel James? She's an imaginary character from the women's youth, now the central figure in a book overseen by Sarah, and a major force in bringing her back together with Coco.
Also in the regular cast:
"A sitcom is infinitely harder to do than an hourlong show," says Amy Sherman-Palladino, who left "Gilmore Girls" the season before it ended because she couldn't get a two-year renewal commitment. "You've got to do your work fast, and if the sitcom is any good, the scenes are about something. And if they're about something, it's even harder, so it's a great challenge for everybody."
The challenge of "Jezebel James" is exactly what lured Posey to television, but she doesn't deem her move such a surprise. "I'm a working actor," the New Yorker explains. "People think actors have such control over their careers, and I really don't. You can't really make a living doing independent film without being a real-estate agent or another job.
"I'm right for the character parts in Hollywood movies, and I can do a lead in an independent film. If I have a reaction to a part, I'm going to do it. I like the humor in this. It's not like somebody comes in and knocks somebody down and somebody gets hurt and everybody laughs. This whole thing about, 'I relented and now I'm finally doing television,' it's not that at all. I read it and I loved it, and that was it."
For Ambrose, a big appeal was being able to film "Jezebel James" in
Posey admits she never watched "Gilmore Girls," so she wasn't familiar with the rapid-fire dialogue that peppered the exploits of mother and daughter Lorelai and Rory (
"I didn't know the genius behind Amy Sherman-Palladino," says Posey, who read the first "Jezebel James" script in an Albuquerque laundromat. "Then we met, and it was like, 'This really feels right.' "
The meeting also was fortunate for the lively and opinionated Sherman-Palladino, who reflects, "I didn't know who was going to be out there to play this part. Parker's name had always been sort of out there in the ether like, 'Yeah, good luck; go ahead and try that.' It was really just a matter of who had the comedy and who had the acting chops. It's a hard combination."
Though "The Return of Jezebel James" is driven largely by women, co-star Cohen -- who also appeared on "Gilmore Girls" as Max, Rory's teacher and Lorelai's flame -- is comfortable supplying the show's primary male presence.
"The first time I read the script," he says, "I had an emotional experience, basically crying at the end of it. You get so many pilot scripts, and you kind of read through, and everything is pretty much the same. This just hit me like a ton of bricks. There wasn't even a question in my mind of wanting to do it."
Nevertheless, the ladies of "The Return of Jezebel James" are center-stage, as Sherman-Palladino confirms. "It's two women who just don't know each other at all. They've never formed any sort of bond. It's weird because they're adults, but they're just now starting to figure out who they are, how they react, what they like or not, how they're going to make each other crazy or not.
"I think there's not always the best parts on television for women, and if you can throw a couple out there, why not? These are real, multidimensional characters. I would like men in this. Chipmunks or two nice squirrels talking to each other? I'd be fine with that, too. Just as long as the dynamic is interesting and there are places to go."

We appreciated what Gary Gold had to say after accepting the position of president of the West Las Vegas Schools board. He and fellow board member Christine Ludi seemed to be excited over the prospect of having a united front when it comes to tackling the district's problems — and for good reason, given the politics that swirled around the board in recent years.

With wins over Española and Hatch Valley to follow an opening loss to Lordsburg, the Robertson baseball team collected a third-place finish over the weekend in the Socorro Wood Bat Invitational.
Lordsburg, aided by a two-hour time limit, won 11-5 on Thursday.
Robertson's Dominic Yara belted a three-RBI double in the second inning.
Miclo Allen was tagged with the loss.
The Cardinals bounced back to bump Española 11-3 on Friday.
J.P. Hollywood scored on a Clay Mohr single down the left field line, breaking a scoreless stalemate with a walk-off winner in the first of two wins Saturday by New Mexico Highlands against Nebraska-Kearney.
Highlands also won the nightcap, 4-2, to take a 2-1 lead in the weekend Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference baseball series at Brandt Park.
The Lopers (9-5, 5-2 RMAC) had prevailed 14-4 on Friday, spoiling a three-run homer by Highlands' Michael Garcia.

The explosion that destroyed John Singletary's Church Street home and shook part of Old Town last month was caused by a leak in the city's main natural gas line, according to reports from the state fire marshal's office and the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission's Pipeline Safety Bureau.
The daughter of the 45-year-old woman whose remains were discovered in Mora County last month had reached out to authorities, reporting in late January that she hadn't heard from her mother since before Christmas.
State police aren't saying much publicly about the death of Maxine Patsy Trujillo whose remains were found scattered between two properties in mid-February. But a state police search warrant affidavit filed in 4th Judicial District Court in Las Vegas last month sheds light on the case.
Robertson High School sophomore Katie Houdek needed to do a service project for her confirmation class, so she hosted a "Heroes Welcome Lunch" for city police and firefighters at the Abe Montoya Recreation Center on Tuesday.
"Police and firemen do a lot for us, and they don't get paid very much," Houdek said, noting that they put their lives on the line every day.
"So it's good to appreciate them," she said.

Conference Roundup
… Oh yeah, the running game. After doing
nothing against Hawaii and Vanderbilt,
the Tide rolled over UL Monroe just in
time for the SEC road dates against
Arkansas and Florida over the next two
weeks. Ken Darby had his most effective
game yet, and QB John Parker Wilson was
sharp. Of course, this came against UL
Monroe. There had better be more of a
pass rush on Mitch Mustain and Chris
Leak if the Tide wants to keep its
winning streak going.
Arkansas … Mitch Mustain was
terrific picking apart the Vanderbilt
defense, but there are big concerns
after a tough win. Moving the ball
consistently was an issue, and the run
defense got plowed over with the
Commodores rushing for 240 yards. With
Alabama coming up next, that's a big
area of concern. As long as Mustain
keeps progressing, everything will be
fine ... in time. A return to last
year's explosiveness from Felix Jones
and the kick return game would be nice.
Auburn … Don't read too much, if
anything, into Auburn's lack of offense
against LSU. These were two teams, and
two defenses, playing at the highest
level. Auburn got the one big drive to
get the points it needed, and the
defense did the rest. The Tiger D (the
Auburn version, did a fantastic job of
keeping the LSU running game from not
going anywhere, while the back seven
kept short to midrange passes from
turning into long gains. There won't be
a letdown against Buffalo next week, but
the momentum of this has to somehow
carry over to the road trip to South
Carolina in a few weeks.
Florida … It'll show up in the
paper that Florida only beat Tennessee
by a point, but this was as impressive
and as dominating a performance as it
could've hoped for. The running game was
solid with DeShawn Wynn cranking out
tough yards in one of his strongest
performances ever, and Chris Leak did a
good job of managing the game and
keeping the chains moving even with Tim
Tebow coming in here and there to take
away some work. In the end, Urban Meyer
and his staff outcoached Phil Fulmer and
his group. No one will run on these
Georgia … The defense is playing
at a national title level, but the
offense continues to be less than
impressive. It's all a learning process
for QB Matthew Stafford, who was
efficient and showed off his mobility on
a touchdown run. Even so, the running
game needs to be far more effective and
soon, Stafford will have to start
sending the ball down the field a little
more. With a defense that hasn't allowed
a point in over 120 minutes, the offense
will have time against Colorado and Ole
Miss to get a little more going before
dealing with Tennessee.
Kentucky … Shhhhhh. Don't look
now, but Kentucky is in a great position
for a bowl bid. With four more wins
needed after the great game against Ole
Miss, it has good shots at beating
Central Michigan, Mississippi State,
Vanderbilt and UL Monroe. An upset over
someone like South Carolina would help.
What's most impressive has been how QB
Andre Woodson has stepped up. RB Rafael
Little hasn't been nearly the same
producer he was last year. Eventually,
he'll have to get the ground game going.
LSU … How can an official pick up
a flag on a pass interference penalty?
How can JaMarcus Russell not throw the
ball into the end zone on the game's
final play? Tiger fans are going to be
ticked off over the way the loss to
Auburn ended, but both calls were good
ones. One quick move from Craig Davis at
the six, and LSU wins the game on a
classic final play. LSU has to take
heart that it could move the ball a
little bit with Russell coming up with a
great game under extreme pressure. The
running game, which hasn't been there
all season, proved to be a liability.
That has to change against Tulane and
Mississippi State before facing Florida.
Ole Miss … Ole Miss got a nice
passing day out of Brent Schaeffer
against Kentucky, but five turnovers and
12 penalties proved to be way too much
to overcome. This simply isn't a good
enough team to be this sloppy. The
decent pass rush didn't turn out to help
a secondary that couldn't handle the UL
passing game. The run defense will have
to be stingy against Wake Forest next
week to stay alive for a bowl bid. A 1-3
start, with Georgia, Auburn, and LSU
still ahead would mean the Rebels will
be home for the holidays.
Miss State … Even with the great
late comeback against Tulane, things
have gone from bad to worse after the
loss. With the offense doing nothing
over the first few games, it was back to
Omarr Conner to run the offense. While
that might be fine for the short term,
he was solid against the Green Wave, it
doesn't allow Tray Rutland to take his
lumps and gain experience. This season
isn't going anywhere. There's no reason
not go with Rutland and work through the
problems. A running back has to develop
considering Conner was the team's top
runner by far.
South Carolina … Uhhhhh, South
Carolina; it's time to wake up. After
sleepwalking through the second half
against Wofford and almost losing a
shocker, there's reason to be concerned
about the team's overall focus. Either
that, this group simply isn't any good.
Syvelle Newton did a good job at
quarterback and Sidney Rice finally
broke out, the defense had way too many
issues with the Wofford running game.
The Florida Atlantic game next week had
better be razor sharp, or the Auburn
game could be ugly.
Tennessee … Where was the running
game against Florida? Now that Arian
Foster has been completely taken out of
the picture, Montario Hardesty has to do
more when given the opportunity. Erik
Ainge had a better game than he'll
probably get credit for, but none of the
short passes that went for long gains
against Air Force and Cal kicked in
against the Gators. It appears obvious
the team is going to live and die by
Ainge, but it needs to use the next two
weeks against Marshall and Memphis to
find a running game again. Florida
simply outplayed the Vols. That it was
as close as it was showed the heart of
Tennessee to find a way to stick around.
Vanderbilt … The running game got
going against Arkansas with 240 yards
averaging 6.5 yards per carry, but Vandy
is going to have a hard time winning if
Chris Nickson isn't more effective at
throwing the ball. He had problems with
interceptions against Alabama, and this
week he had big problems with his
accuracy. This isn't the same Vandy team
of a few years ago that got shoved
around by everyone, but it's 0-3.
That'll change over the next two weeks
against Tennessee State and Temple.

Ugh. Went to Luds yesterday to buy a new hat and they didn't have any. Would not have bought this if they did.
The very first fitted option and it's camo....SMH.
Saw this next to a black fitted one at a local Champs last week.
I've hat a white fitted New Era 39thirty with new logo and font for nearly a month now.
I've seen those before. I personally don't consider the 3950 series to be fitted. Yeah there's no strap in the back but it isn't a structured fitted hat. Slouch hats are another set I don't consider 'fitted'.
I'm talking 100% wool (or polyester) 5950 New Era.

We loved Artbeat Rooms and especially Gosia and Gosia! They made us feel welcome and helped us with everything. It was great having breakfast on the balcony every morning including fresh orange juice and fruit. Bathrooms and kitchen were always clean, wifi working well and the location was very convenient too so we could walk everywhere. The hostel is perfect for couples but less to get to know people as there is no real common area or events. Also expect some noise as it is located so central.

Acer C720 Chromebook review: High on power, low on panache
Acer's new C720 offers outstanding performance for an entry-level Chromebook, but it skimps on some important areas.
Chromebook Reviews
- Asus Chromebook Flip review: A classy little convertible laptop
- Chromebook Pixel (2015) review: A cloud dweller's dream machine
- Acer Chromebook 15 review: A large laptop with ample appeal
- Hands on: What a $149 Chromebook is actually like to use
With the arrival of Acer's new C720 Chromebook, one thing is immediately clear: All Chromebooks are not created equal.
The Acer C720, on sale now for $249 and expected to ship later this month, is a stark contrast to the recently released and similarly priced HP Chromebook 11. Under the hood, it's a superior product -- especially in the realm of processing power, where the system's Haswell-based architecture helps it achieve new levels of performance for an entry-level Chrome OS system. On the outside, however -- the parts of the laptop you view, touch and interact with -- it falls frustratingly short.
I've been spending some time getting to know Acer's C720 Chromebook this week. Here's a detailed look at what it's like to use and how it compares to other Chromebook models.
Body and design
The first thing you notice when you pick up the Acer C720 Chromebook is that it looks and feels like a cheap computer. The metallic-colored plastic casing gives off a pretty low-end vibe; if you run your finger along the edge where the plastic meets the display panel, you can feel rough spots along the seam. All in all, this is just not a thoughtfully designed product.
That might be acceptable for a sub-$300 laptop if it weren't for the release of the HP Chromebook 11 earlier this month. That device, created with close involvement by the same Google team responsible for the high-end Chromebook Pixel, raised the bar of design and build quality for entry-level Chromebooks. The standard established by the Chromebook 11 doesn't bode well for Acer's offering.
At 11.34 x 8.03 x 0.75 in. and 2.76 lbs., the C720 Chromebook is small and light enough to carry around comfortably and use on your lap. The Chromebook 11, in contrast, is 11.69 x 7.56 x 0.69 in. and 2.30 lbs.; the most discernible difference among those measurements is the nearly half-inch discrepancy in height, which makes the Chromebook 11 seem significantly more svelte.
The C720 has two small stereo speaker grilles on its bottom along with two large vents and a series of visible screws. The system's sound quality is okay but not great; compared to the superb keyboard-dwelling speaker system on the Chromebook 11, the C720's audio sounds tinny, shallow and somewhat muffled.
Acer's Chromebook does have a respectable set of connectivity options: The left side of the laptop holds a dedicated HDMI-out port and a USB 3.0 port -- two elements the Chromebook 11 lacks -- along with a DC charging port and 3.5mm headphone jack. The right side has an SD card slot, a USB 2.0 port and a Kensington Security Slot that allows you to attach the computer to a third-party security lock.
Display and keyboard
Acer's C720 Chromebook boasts an 11.6-in. 1366 x 768 TN display that's more or less in line with what we've seen on past-generation entry-level Chromebooks. It's passable enough for casual use but pales in comparison to the higher-quality IPS LCD panel on the Chromebook 11; its colors and blacks appear washed out and muted, its viewing angles are relatively limited and its clarity leaves something to be desired.
The screen also suffers considerably when viewed outdoors and looks dreadful in direct sunlight, whereas the Chromebook 11 remains fairly consistent even in the glariest of conditions.
On a sliding scale of screen quality, the high-end (and high-cost) Chromebook Pixel is at the top, naturally -- not only compared to other Chromebooks but also to laptops in general. The Chromebook 11, meanwhile, delivers a pleasing visual experience, particularly for its price, and lands somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. The C720 Chromebook sits squarely at the bottom, alongside last year's low-end devices.

Sounds of a Playground Fading
by In Flames
Released: Nov 2013
Label: Century Media
Given the seeming breakup-song bent of several lyrics (inspirational verse: "You never understand me! And I don't care what you think! Or maybe I do!"), the "Playground" in these once-death-metallic Swedes' 10th album title doesn't seem to signify abandoned jungle gyms so much as a loss Glen Campbell once lamented in "Where's the Playground Susie." Decorated in minor-key-melodic intros and on-and-off electronic body beats, In Flames sound pretty sad all through -- also pretty same-y, though it's sort of special when they enter extreme hermit mode in "The Attic" and the talked "Jester's Door."

How do I compress Wav files
Hi, I have some sound files that I want to be able to email to people, but I can't because the files are too big. Is there a way to compress these files(wav)?
Re: How do I compress Wav files
Also, instead of emailing them the files you could just upload them to a free host and then email them the link to download.

Re: How do I compress Wav files
I just find a step by step guide on how to compress audio WAV, MP3, FLAC, WMA, M4A, AIFF, PCM, OGG, etc. to smaller file size with high audio quality at How to Compress Audio WAV, MP3, FLAC, WMA, M4A, AIFF, PCM and etc?
why not have a free try, hope it helps
Re: How do I compress Wav files
The following will introduce a step by step guide on how to compress various audio files to smaller file size with the help of the powerful Audio Compressor software - Bigasoft Audio Converter at How to Compress Audio WAV, MP3, FLAC, WMA, M4A, AIFF, PCM and etc?
This guide applies to:
Compress MP3, FLAC, WAV, WMA, M4A, AIFF, MP2, OGG, AC3, RA, AU and etc to smaller file size as well as keep the same audio format.
Compress WAV to MP3, AC3, M4A or AU with almost no loss of audio quality.
Compress FLAC to MP3, M4A or AC3 with high audio quality.
Compress AIFF to M4A, MP3, AC3 and more audio format.
Compress M4A to MP3, WMA, AC3, RA and etc.
Compress WMA to MP3 with smaller file size.
Compress PCM, M4B, MPC, QCP, AMR, AWB, TTA, CUE, APE and etc to MP3.
Re: How do I compress Wav files
You may refer to the following there method to compress WAV files
Method 1: Compress WAV to other audio format
- Compress WAV to lossless compression audio format without losing audio quality like compress WAV to FLAC, compress WAV to Apple Lossless ALAC M4A
- Compress WAV to lossy audio format like compress WAV to MP3, compress WAV to WMA, AAC, RA and etc.
Method 2: Lower WAV bit rate
- With this method, we can easily reduce WAV file size without changing WAV audio format.
- The lower the bit rate, the smaller the WAV file size, the lower quality of the WAV audio.
- In most cases, WAV audio quality shows little difference between 128kbps and higher bitrates. WAV quality will become crappier if the bit rate is less than 128kbps.
Method 3: Compress WAV to other audio format as well as lower bit rate
The third way to compress a WAV file size is that we simultaneously apply Method 1 as well as Method 2.

According to government figures, there are approximately 3.3 million persons on Medicaid in Florida, including children and poor seniors who get Medicaid funded nursing home care as well as premium and co-pay support with Medicare.
The present annual cost of Medicaid in Florida, according to the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration, is $21 billion.
Dividing the cost by the number of Medicaid enrollees in Florida, the annual cost for a Floridian on Medicaid is about $7,000 per person, with about half of those covered younger than 20. Of course, the expenses are not evenly ...

first seizure at school
Landon is 3 nonverbal asd and prone to febrile seizures. Tuesday I sent him to prek fine, then an hour later they called that he had a seizure ( this is his 9th). The teachers did great and I am glad he know enough to go sit on his teachers lap so he started convulsions in her arms. They were aware he is prone to them and said other children had them too. But by the way they were so panicked I'm sure none of the other children have actually had one in front of them. He is doing great now no more fever, but they don't want him to go back to school until Monday just incase. The teacher, aid and nurse have each called to check on him, I love their relationship already.
Bless his heart...poor little guy!
I'm sure they panicked a bit because it's still so upsetting to see something like that happen to a child even if you are experienced in those things. Love that they called to check on him!
Hope he's feeling better!
This made me cry. How much do our children have to go through? Poor little guy. I'm so happy he is feeling better and what a beautiful show of humanity that they called to check on him.
It sounds like he has a really caring, wonderful staff group at school.
Aw, hugs Mama. Glad you have great support at school.

like The Eurythmics before her, she really has travelled the world and the seven seas in pursuit of the sounds and influences that make up Sparks. The results are excellent, another collection of songs highlighting her lyrical bite and magpie-like compositional approach to the gathering and use of real-life audio samples. "I've stopped eating bread and cheese - and I love cheese," she whispers on The Listening Chair, an a capella run-through of her life so far (though a capella in Heap's hands means swooshy, multi-tracked and vocoder-heavy). The plan is to update it every seven years with a minute of new material. It's a neat idea, well executed so far. It isn't easy to make radio-friendly electropop with brains, but Imogen Heap manages it.

Mark Tomasik: Have a heart, see the gallery
... about the exhibit from the Children's Home Society of Florida in Fort Pierce.
Phone: (772) 489-5601, ex. 277
If you'd like to help a good cause and see an outstanding display of professional photography, I encourage you to visit the Heart Gallery of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast.
With skill, class and dignity, the photos reflect the personalities of 19 youths from the four-county region (Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee and St. Lucie) who are in foster care and eligible for adoption.
These youths mostly range in ages from 7 to 17. The photos are a powerful reminder that infants aren't the only people in need of adoptive families.
The free gallery is available for public viewing on these dates and at these locations:
• Today through Nov. 2, Riverside National Bank, 1660 S.W. St. Lucie West Boulevard, Port St. Lucie (normal business hours).
• Nov. 9 through Nov. 19, St. Lucie County School Board Office lobby, 4204 Okeechobee Road, Fort Pierce (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
• Nov. 26 through Nov. 30, Fort Pierce City Hall lobby (normal business hours).
The heart gallery is a collaborative effort of the Treasure Coast division of the Children's Home Society of Florida (whose adoption program is funded by United for Families), the Children's Services Council of St. Lucie County, and Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers.
Most of the photos in the exhibit were taken by four of this newspaper's photographers — Alex Boerner, Julio Cortez, Matthew Ratajczak and Sam Wolfe, under the guidance of photo editor Kelly Rogers, who serves on the steering committee of the heart gallery. These photojournalists care deeply about the project and the youngsters they photographed. That care shows in the work.
Frank Avila, heart gallery coordinator, said the project is a collaborative effort dedicated to increasing the number of adoptive families in the region and heightening the awareness of the need for adoptions.
One way you can help is to schedule the exhibit to be shown at your civic organization, church, community or business. The exhibit doesn't take a great deal of space. By displaying it, you can increase interest in the issue and perhaps that will help one the youths get adopted.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Free Flow of Information Act by a vote of 398-21. This is a major step forward in the effort to enact a federal shield law that would protect the confidentiality of a journalist's sources, an essential element of news gathering.
Two Treasure Coast congressmen, Alcee Hastings and Tim Mahoney, voted in favor of the bill. However, the other Treasure Coast representative, Dave Weldon, voted against it.
The bill received the support of 222 Democrats and 176 Republicans in the House.
Two hurdles remain before the bill becomes law. It must pass a vote in the Senate. Then it must avert a presidential veto. The White House this week issued a statement, suggesting President Bush would veto this legislation.

Watch Nicholas David and Trevin Hunte Sing Mariah Carey's "Hero" on The Voice Season 3 Live Results Show, Dec. 11, 2012 (VIDEO)
Trevin Hunte and Nicholas David rocked the Voice stage tonight, singing Mariah Carey's "Hero" on the Dec. 11 live results show.
The Team Cee Lo finalists put a soulful twist on the classic song. Their voices couldn't be more different, which made them clash a bit, but separately, they brought unique flair to the iconic tune. Only one of them will move on to the next week's Top 3, so after the show ends, we hope they collaborate again — but next time, on a song that fits them both better!

I stopped at Basaseachi falls, after a fantastic ride over hwy 16. I found a free camp at the head of the falls, and had a lovely evening cooking on coals under the stars. The heat had dissipated and I wrapped myself snuggly in my sleeping bag. Once again surprised to feel the chill after the heat of the Sonoran desert.
There was a shortcut to the Copper canyon on my map that looked unpaved, but took off 100km on my journey. This area was known for a high amount of drug activity and after the challenging conditions of the paved roads further north, I was concerned about heading off road alone for so long. However word on Adv had me speaking to the police at the road blocks, and other locals, to check on the planned route. After a number of nods I found the way to be a beautiful well made road, curving delightfully through the mountains to Creel. After lunch, I headed into the Copper Canyon to the town of Divisadero to the rim of the Canyon.
It was such a strange feeling, I was riding beautiful roads, seeing amazing sites, but my mood was low. After camping alone the day before and spending a lot of time on the bike in my own head I was surprised at how isolated I had made myself. My limited Spanish had made it difficult to interact significantly with people around me, and while I was used to traveling solo, spending so much time on the motorbike I found had removed me from others. My ties to home had me feeling down as I couldn't be there for those that I loved. And in my head I questioned what I was doing here on the bike. I started to have second thoughts.
I head to a hostel to try and get some interaction to get my self out of this rut. After pulling up and negotiating a dorm bed, with a cheap dinner and breakfast thrown in, I came out to the bike to find people waiting by my bike. A Dutch couple, Marjolein and Christian
, who were riding two 20 year old GS's south to Ushuaia as well. I am stoked to met people. It was like an answer to my prayers. I always find it funny that when I need something the universe provides it. I feel almost blessed, and very, very lucky. Both our hotels had the same deal for dinner so we spend the night eating sadly pretty bland food, but excitedly making plans to ride the supposedly beautiful but often treacherously steep and often washed out road to Batopilas in the morning together. Not something I was particularly keen on doing alone.

So far, most of the customers observing our boy's obsession for dolls have been supportive. But what will happen when they see a young boy wearing a princess dress?
The question generated controversy in the media recently when a mother dressed her 5-year-old son in a Daphne costume from his favorite cartoon, "Scooby Doo." She wrote a blog describing how some fellow classroom moms tried to bully her and her son. The blog went viral, triggering millions of hits and more than 45,000 responses.
Another mother, Cheryl Kilodavis, has been making the rounds on television talk shows after writing a book about her 5-year-old son's desire to wear dresses.
The book, "My Princess Boy," deals with the sometimes cruel reactions she and her son have received.
In our scenario, we send in an actor to play the role of a bully who has some choice words for our father and son actors. Will fellow shoppers ignore the bullying or come to the child's defense?

International Medical Corps plans to pilot the DayOne Waterbag, a point-of-use water treatment apparatus for disaster-stricken vulnerable communities. The DayOne Waterbag, coupled with the Procter & Gamble Water Purifying Packets, has the ability to prevent the spread of diseases such as cholera. This microproject will fund the production of the initial 200 Waterbags, commencing the pilot.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
When disasters strike vulnerable communities, the drinkable water supply is often disrupted, putting entire communities at risk of contracting diseases such as cholera. It is almost a certainty that overcrowding in affected areas combined with little clean water and poor sanitation will result in outbreak of disease.
How will this project solve this problem?
This water purification program will fill the gap between disaster and relief by providing communities with the resources to purify their own water using a simple point-of-use treatment. International Medical Corps will pilot the Waterbags in flood-prone areas such as Sudan, South Sudan, and Kenya, working with communities to stock Waterbags as well as providing instruction on Waterbag usage.
Potential Long Term Impact
The Waterbag has the potential to be transformational in the face of disasters for vulnerable communities. In a catastrophe of the magnitude of Haiti's earthquake, the Waterbag can provide clean, drinkable water for individuals and communities directly affected by the disaster; in addition, local and national governments and first responders such as NGOs can preposition the Waterbag in preparation for a disaster, providing valuable support for themselves and the community.
Funding Information
This project has been retired and is no longer accepting donations.

In the cb, we were at once talking about introducing a secret perl handshake to identify members of the community. We never realized we already have one. You just have to say Perl instead of PERL.

I'm a recent grad from Purdue University and now work at Rolls-Royce as a design engineer in downtown Indy. I get to help design parts of jet engines and it's pretty fun. I've always wanted to work in aerospace and now they pay me to do it ;) I'm also a pretty dedicated runner; even in the winter. But… let's say it's much easier to be in the summer. I've been training for marathons and half marathons and the next one I'll be running is the Twin Cities marathon which should be pretty fun. I also like to play lots of recreation sports like soccer, softball, volleyball, and flag-football. Bonus points to a girl who likes to play sports too! I'm also a fan of some outdoorsy things and being active like kiteboarding, 4-wheeling, biking, boating, searching for my car when I lose it… I like to find humor in my day to day life and try and not "sweat the small stuff". While I am pretty laid back, I am very driven when it comes to things that are important to me though. I am also very honest, loyal, and genuine and value these qualities in others. The other big things I'm looking for in someone are having a kind heart, is driven in what they do, has a good sense of humor, and has a good outlook on life. Also, I like to be active and try new things so I'm looking for a girl who would want to join in. However, I am also a fan of lazy days where watching a movie and taking a nap sounds amazing! Naps may be one of my favorite lazy day activities :)

For movies and tv, I'm a big fan of comedies like South Park, Family Guy, Anchorman, etc. I really like to listen to alternative and hip-hop like Atmosphere and Brother Ali. And for food, I could always go for a steak at Fogo de Chao.
I like to run, ride bikes, check out car auctions, go to movies, meet up with friends, check out any special events downtown. Basically, I'm up for trying new things, but sometimes I just like to relax at home.
I mostly read the news. But the last book I read was a biography on Alan Shepard.

Hows it going! Right now im in a tough decision of which 29er would be the better deal, price wise, component wise etc.
At my lbs they still have a 2011 trek hifi plus new on year end clearance for a total of 1800. Not used, not a return. The price is with tax included. Just rounded it even.
But i really like the 2012 superfly 100 al. they can order it but the total would be around 2500 im guessing. Is the 2012 s-fly worth it for 700 more? Any help would be appreciated

People stand by the wreckage of a car that has been blown up by suspected Boko Haram militants in Nigeria's troubled northeastern city of Maiduguri on March 25, 2014, killing five police officers, while a separate blast killed three. AFP PHOTO
LAGOS: Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency says 3 million people are suffering from the Islamic uprising with a quarter million people made homeless in the northeast of the country just this year.
It says an assessment of the three affected states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa shows children, elderly people and women are most affected.
The government agency has provided relief goods but says needs increase daily and asks for help.
A statement posted online Thursday says the statistics apply only for January to March. The U.N. refugee agency estimates 470,000 people are displaced in the country and another 30,000 have sought refuge in neighboring countries since the uprising began four years ago.
Thousands have been killed and tens of thousands of farmers driven from their land.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 1/25/13
The Mets have signed free agent starting pitcher Shaun Marcum to a one-year major league deal with the Mets for $4 million dollars. However, the total deal could be worth $8 million if Marcum earns another $4 million in incentives, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. Marcum, 31, went 7-4 with a 3.70 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 109 strikeouts in 124 innings. He made only 21 starts as a lingering elbow issue hampered him a bit. In 2011, Marcum went 13-7 with a 3.54 ERA as the Brewers went on to win the NL Central. He is 57-36 with a 3.76 ERA in seven seasons with the Blue Jays and Brewers. The 31-year-old missed approximately two months due to elbow tightness in 2012 and his average fastball velocity remained well below 90 mph at 86.5 mph according to MLBTR. The rotation appears to be set now and will likely look like this: Johan Santana Shaun Marcum Jon Niese Dillon Gee Matt Harvey That should be the norm at least until prospect Zack Wheeler arrives.

Press release from Marketwire
AltaGas Reports Second Quarter Earnings and on Track to Add $1.8 Billion of New Assets in 2012
Thursday, July 26, 2012
AltaGas Reports Second Quarter Earnings and on Track to Add $1.8 Billion of New Assets in 201208:00 EDT Thursday, July 26, 2012CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 26, 2012) - AltaGas Ltd. (AltaGas) (TSX:ALA) (TSX:ALA.PR.A) (TSX:ALA.PR.U) (TSX:ALA.R) today reported net income applicable to common shares of $25.8 million ($0.29 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $13.3 million ($0.16 per share) for the same period 2011. Normalized net income applicable to common shares was $10.4 million ($0.12 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $16.3 million ($0.20 per share) for the same period 2011.Normalized net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $50.6 million, a 12 percent increase compared to $45.3 million for the same period 2011. Normalized earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $0.56, up from $0.55 in the same period 2011. Given the power and frac spread hedges in place for the remainder of 2012, approximately five percent of AltaGas' expected EBITDA is exposed to commodity prices. The addition of new assets underpinned by long-term contracts and regulated returns adds stable cash flows and more predictability to earnings."We continue to deliver solid earnings so far in 2012, despite weaker gas and power markets. We continue to execute our significant capital investment plan and are on track to add approximately $1.8 billion in new assets in 2012 that will add over $200 million in EBITDA on an annualized basis", said David Cornhill, Chairman and CEO of AltaGas. "With our recent announcements to acquire an interest in a gas plant and construct a pipeline to connect to our Joffre extraction facility as well as a feasibility study related to the transportation of natural gas in BC for LNG export, we continue to be well positioned for long-term earnings, cash flow and sustainable dividend growth into the future." The acquisition of SEMCO Holding Corporation (SEMCO) is expected to close on August 30, 2012, subject to the approval of the Regulatory Commission of Alaska. Approval of the transaction was received from the Michigan Public Service Commission on May 24, 2012. On February 1, 2012, AltaGas announced the acquisition of SEMCO for US$1.135 billion including the assumption of US$355 million debt. The addition of SEMCO will add approximately US$725 million in rate base, is expected to be accretive to earnings and cash flow per share by more than 10 percent and is expected to add approximately $130 million in incremental earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), in 2013, the first full year of ownership.The 15 megawatt (MW) gas-fired Cogeneration II facility at the Harmattan Complex was commissioned and in commercial operation on June 7, 2012 with the project completed on time and on budget. During the recent seasonal high temperatures experienced in Alberta, all natural gas fired facilities were operating at or near full capacity. The expansion at the Blair Creek facility is in the commissioning phase and adds approximately 50 Mmcf/d of processing capacity. The expansion is underpinned by long-term contracts with three producers. The 195 MW Forrest Kerr run-of-river project (Forrest Kerr Project) is progressing well and is ahead of schedule and on budget. Forrest Kerr Project construction is expected to be completed by March 2014, with commission to follow based on the availability of the Northwest Transmission Line. AltaGas has a 60-year Electricity Purchase Agreement (EPA) with BC Hydro which is fully indexed to the Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) as well as an Impact Benefit Agreement (IBA) with the Tahltan First Nation.The Harmattan Co-stream project (Co-stream Project), which will use 250 Mmcf/d of existing spare capacity is expected to be in service third quarter 2012. The Co-stream Project will recover ethane and other NGLs from natural gas sourced in the NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) Western System. The project is underpinned by a 20-year cost-of-service contract with NOVA Chemicals Corporation. On July 19, 2012, the Alberta Court of Appeal dismissed the third party appeal of the decision of the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) which approved the Co-stream Project. AltaGas' 120 Mmcf/d Gordondale deep-cut, natural gas processing facility is currently on track to be in service in late 2012. The plant is located in the Montney resource area, one of the largest, low cost, liquid-rich resource plays in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. This plant will allow AltaGas to provide a midstream solution to a number of producers in the area and is underpinned by a long-term natural gas supply contract with Encana Corporation.AltaGas announced the acquisition of Quatro Resources Inc.'s (Quatro) midstream assets and the construction of a 70-kilometre pipeline to connect the Gilby Gas Plant and AltaGas' 30 Mmcf/d Sylvan Lake Gas Plant to AltaGas' deep-cut, turbo expander facility at the Joffre Ethane Extraction Plant (JEEP). Increased volumes processed at the plant are expected to fully utilize JEEP's excess capacity. This project is another example of AltaGas' ability to integrate key assets and leverage existing capacity.AltaGas' wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. (PNG), and LNG Partners, LLC (LNG Partners) amended their agreement to extend it by six months for 80 MMcf/d of firm gas transportation service on PNG's Western B.C. system. PNG and LNG Partners also executed an agreement under which LNG Partners will fund the cost of a feasibility study for expansion of PNG's western transmission system to provide an additional 170 to 195 MMcf/d of firm capacity for LNG Partners.Monthly Common Share Dividend and Quarterly Preferred Share DividendAltaGas announced that the August dividend will be paid on September 17, 2012, to holders of record on August 27, 2012, of common shares. The ex-dividend date is August 23, 2012. The amount of the dividend will be $0.115 for each common share. This dividend is an eligible dividend for Canadian income tax purposes. The Board approved a dividend of $0.3125 per share for the period commencing July 1, 2012, and ending September 30, 2012, on AltaGas' outstanding Series A Preferred Shares.
