The Pewee Valley City Council has called for a special meeting to discuss new construction near the town's center.
The city will have a meeting on Wednesday, April 16 at 7 p.m. to discuss a new building at the site of the currently unused PNC building on Foley Avenue.
Hagan Properties is looking to demolish the current building and replace it with their headquarters. The real estate development company is seeking to relocate to Pewee Valley from Louisville.
The Crestwood City Council has set a special meeting to take up an ordinance that would allow Walmart to return to the city.
Crestwood Mayor Dennis Deibel said the council would meet Wednesday, April 16 to consider a rezoning ordinance that would clear the way for a Walmart SuperCenter to be built at 6701 Veterans Memorial Parkway, also known as KY-392 Bypass.
Deibel said the reason for the special meeting, instead of the council's regular meeting, is due to the significance of the issue.
Two months after abandoning plans to build a cell tower in Pewee Valley, AT&T is looking to build one in another Oldham County location.
The company is proposing a 199-foot tower to be built off Ky. 22 in Ballardsville, according to a public notice filed by Ansco and Associaties, a Georgia-based company. However, no application to build the tower has been given to the Oldham County Planning and Zoning Commission, Assistant Director Brian Davis said.
A destructive bug is causing major damage to the towering landmarks of Pewee Valley.
The emerald ash borer is native to Russia, northern China, Japan and Korea. It first made an appearance in the U.S. in 2002. While it is not certain how the borer came to the U.S., it is suspected the insect migrated in shipping materials, according to information from the USDA Department of Forestry website on the ash borer.
Now, 12 years later, the ash borer is ravaging ash trees in Pewee Valley.
Frontier justice has been served on Main Street in La Grange.
Through the magic of motion pictures, the famed train rail divided street will be featured in a local western entitled Cold Justice.
Friends Zeb Son, Eddie Kinberger and David Huff wrote the movie after meeting as Wild West reenactors.
The trio set out to write a commercial for their reenacting hobby and came away with a movie.
"This is how you get to be 53 years old and still playing cowboy," Son said.
Pewee Valley Police Chief Greg Larimore warned citizens about a string of car breaks-ins at the monthly Pewee Valley City Council meeting on Wednesday.
Larimore said Oldham County Police arrested Jordan Martin of Bremin, Ohio, Wednesday morning around 2 a.m. after a resident heard a suspicious noise, went to investigate and found Martin taking things from vehicles.
The Louisville Water Company has put the city of Goshen under a water boil advisory for the next 24 hours.
Customer service representative Daron McDonald said a 12 inch water main near US Highway 42 burst Monday night, causing a loss in pressure for nearly 3,400 customers in Goshen.
"We are asking customers to boil their water as a precaution because of the loss of pressure," McDonald said.
A walk down Third Street in La Grange will bring you to a plot of land rich with history.
The La Grange Historic African-American Cemetery is the final resting place for 115 people, according to the cemetery's plot chart. Notable people dating back to the days of slavery are buried in the land where Third and Fourth Streets meet.
With February being Black History month, the Oldham County Historical Society is applying for a historical marker that will be placed outside the gates of the cemetery next February if approved.

Comments about Womens Nike Breeze Tank Technical Tops:
I've been looking for a lightweight tank to wear in the hot summer months and I've found my soulmate tank top! This has got to be the lightest material ever for a shirt. The shirt is a little bit longer on the bottom than some other tanks I own. The armpits are very wide and dips a little below my sports bra. The material is pretty sheer so I recommend a matching-color sports bra to wear underneath. It's a little snug fitting but not skin-tight. I have the pink tank, & I need to get this in more colors!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Re: DC (Dennis Chambers): new Videos
Dennis Chambers is sickening how easy he makes it look. I've caught him in clinic and with Niacin. He looks like it's all just a walk in the park.
He was playing snare rolls and getting all sorts of different tones out of the thing. I thought for sure he was manipulating the levers on the signature snare, but he said it was all just how he was changing his strokes. And it inspired me to work on that stuff myself.
Although, I must say crossovers are one of those things that seems super-hard at first. But I bought "Cross-Sticking Studies" from Modern Drummer books and start off really slowly. I found myself doing very cool things very quickly. They're a blast!
I just wish Dennis and Niacin would go back out there soon! That was a killer show.

I need a great vinaigrette recipe
People are always saying how homemade salad dressing is superior to store bought. In a ll of my salad dressing making endeavors I have always reached the opposite conclusion. I know the basic 3/1 ratio of oil to vinegar but I always find the dressings I make to have a really sharp bite to them. and the times I incorporate dijon mustard, I find it either not strong enough or too strong. Also, thoughts on what to add besides oil and vinegar? sugar? dried spices? better if it sits overnight? thanks!

Sights & Attractions in Anguilla
Anguilla Sights
Exploring on Anguilla is mostly about checking out the spectacular beaches and resorts. The island has only a few roads. Locals are happy to provide directions, but using the readily available tourist map is the best idea. Visit the Anguilla Tourist Board, centrally located on Coronation Avenue in The Valley.
The Anguilla Heritage Trail is a free, self-guided tour of 10 important historical
sights that can be explored independently in any order. Wallblake House, in The Valley, is the main information center for the trail, or you can just look for the large boulders with descriptive plaques.

WILLIAMSON - Two defendants were taken into custody and arraigned in Mingo County Magistrate Court on charges of grand larceny and conspiracy after allegedly stealing property from property owned by the Mingo County Redevelopment Authority.
According to the criminal complaints filed by Mingo County Sheriff's Department (MCSD) Cpl. P. Muncy and Deputy L. Thomas; Jason Marcum, 34, of Kermit and Ronnie Keeton, 44, of West Liberty, Ky., did conspire to enter the property of the Mingo County Redevelopment Authority and proceeded to steal a Ford Ranger, a Plymouth Breeze and a Chevrolet Cadillac valued at over $1,000 each that belonged to the Mingo County Commission. The thefts occurred on Jan. 10th and 11th of this year. Two vehicles were stole on the first day and were taken to a scrap yard in Kentucky and sold for profit. After gaining a sense of "getting away with it the first time", the men returned the following day to try their luck again, but were caught while in the process of committing the crime.
Both defendants were arraigned before Magistrate Dee Sidebottom and were remanded to the custody of the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden where they remain on a $40,000 bond. The men are scheduled to appear back in court next week for their preliminary hearings.

Variety of adventurers plan travel along Mississippi RiverEvery spring, adventurers such as Dahm drift quietly down the Mississippi through St. Cloud, part of a tradition of adventure that is so common here, it's become almost unremarkable.
By: Taleiza Calloway, St. Cloud Times
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — When Mary Fredericksen learned of her nephew's plans to canoe from Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico — the length of the Mississippi River — she was not surprised.
Such a challenge is entirely in character for Kevin Dahm, 30, Minneapolis, she said.
"He's been canoeing his whole life," Fredericksen said. "He's always been adventurous."
Every spring, adventurers such as Dahm drift quietly down the Mississippi through St. Cloud, part of a tradition of adventure that is so common here, it's become almost unremarkable.
The travelers don't always share their reasons for trying to conquer the largest river system on the continent. Some pass through without being noticed at all. Others are making the trip of a lifetime to raise awareness for a cause, publicity for a book or to have something to tell their grandchildren.
No one appears to keep track of how many people try to paddle the length of the river — at least several dozen a year give it a try. But the trend appears to be growing.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has seen an increase in requests for help to travel the length of the Mississippi River. There were about three inquiries last year and eight so far this year. Many boaters make the trip without asking for the DNR's advice.
Last year, a team of seven people built a 32-foot York boat, lovingly named Annie. Their goal was to travel the length of the Mississippi River from Bemidji to the Gulf of Mexico and deliver the vessel in support of Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper, an environmental organization based in Baton Rouge, La.
The team was a part of The Old Man River Project, an expedition not only to rediscover the Mississippi River but to promote preservation of the river basin and serve as a call to environmental activists.
Every few weeks, another person or group headed south on the river comes to public attention. And local river residents sometimes meet solo paddlers who are passing through quietly on their way to New Orleans, content to be anonymous.
While Dahm is no stranger to the water, this is the first time he will try to canoe the length of the Mississippi. The stretch from Lake Itasca to St. Cloud is the longest single stretch he has ever done, he said.
Dahm, who launched May 19, said the trip is a life goal he wanted to achieve. He recently turned 30, so the trip doubles as a birthday present to himself. He lives on the water now, he said.
"I grew up in Minnesota and Wisconsin, doing a fair amount of paddling," Dahm said. "It always seemed like the big river to go down. I figured I would give it a try."
He is documenting the trip in photos and through a video journal, talking to people along the way about the quality of water and life along the river, he said. He is not trying to break a record. For him, "completing the journey is more important than getting there faster than someone else."
"I'm only looking to do this river once," Dahm said. "The focus of this trip was to find out about the river. There's too much history along this river."
He expects to wrap up his trip by the end of August or early September.
Joni Liljedahl, information consultant for the DNR Information Center, said this year she started getting e-mail inquiries in February for map packets. She credits early springlike weather.
Detailed maps of the Mississippi — and other canoeable rivers — are e-mailed or mailed for free and are also available on the DNR's website. Most of the requests are for a certain stretch of river.
But some people want the entire Mississippi. A Californian recently requested map information as he planned his trip downriver.
While it is hard to keep track of the number of people who travel the Mississippi, traffic is often steady from year to year.
"We have several dozen that go out every year," Connie Cox said. "People have been doing this for two centuries."
Cox, lead naturalist for Itasca State Park, said reasons vary for the voyage and staff learn about it from observation or travelers who decide to share their cause.
"A lot of people want to take the challenge, and test. 'Can I do it?"' she said. "Some want to see America (or) they want to see the natural environment."
From battling strong winds, rapids, heavy barges and eventually oceangoing boats, the trip can be an adventure, a bonding experience and/or a test. Some, when they get to the end of the river, are sad because it's over, Cox said.
"It's a pretty significant river (historically)," Cox said. "For many of these people, it ends up being a very spiritual journey."

By Max Kingsley-Jones, Guy Norris & Mark PillingAdditional reporting by Mary Kirby in Philadelphia
Airbus's revamped A350 Xtra Wide Body family has been well received by many of the original A350's customers - as well as one key potential buyer - but the manufacturer looks set for some tough negotiations if it is to convince them to pay more for the improved aircraft and to wait up to two or more years longer for their first deliveries.
A350 customers Finnair, International Lease Finance (ILFC), Kingfisher, TAM and Qatar Airways all tell Flight International they are pleased that Airbus has relaunched the aircraft. Emirates - a key potential customer that is playing the A350 against the proposed Boeing 787-10 - is also impressed with what Airbus has done to improve the aircraft. "A 12in [305mm] wider fuselage is a significant increase," says Emirates vice-chairman Maurice Flanagan, but he adds that the airline continues to also evaluate the 787-10 and is in "no real hurry" to make a selection.
ILFC chairman Steven Udvar-Hazy - credited by Airbus as the one who pushed it to finally revamp the design - says the new aircraft is "a step in the right direction. The speed has increased to Mach 0.85 so that addresses that issue. They've also tackled the empty weight, fuel consumption and passenger comfort."
But Hazy questions whether Airbus can "optimise one family of engines and one wing for such a large distance between models. They're trying to cover both the 777 and 787 with one model."
Airbus's plan to push prices up by over 20% because the new A350 is a "much more impressive aircraft" has not been well received by existing customers.
"We don't believe we should pay more," says Marco Antonio Bologna, president of Brazilian carrier TAM, which has 10 orders. Dr Vijay Mallya, chairman of Indian carrier Kingfisher, which has five A350s on order, says: "If they give it to me at the same price then obviously I am happy."
Industry sources say Qatar Airways - the largest A350 customer with a commitment for 60 aircraft, but which has not yet signed a firm contract - is also reluctant to agree to any price hike. The airline's chief executive Akbar Al Baker says he has been briefed about the new family and is happy that the manufacturer has publicly committed to the 2012 delivery schedule.
Al Baker adds that the airline is now in dialogue with Airbus and "awaiting final specifications and performance guarantees for the purchase agreement".
Finnair deputy chief executive Henrik Arle says that the airline has negotiated "arrangements to compensate" for changes to the airline's fleet-renewal plans, and the resulting delays.
US Airways, which is the only North American airline customer for the A350, says that it is "in constant contact with Airbus and we are evaluating [the economics and seating capacity] of its revised A350 to confirm if the aircraft still fits our needs".
Airbus chief operating officer customers John Leahy has conceded that he may lose "one or two" existing A350 customers as a result of the revamp and the delivery schedule changes.

Re: 2013 Cheering Thread
I saw last year's DY-Russell match at SAP and Donald's play was uninspired and uncreative, and he didn't really snap out of it until the end. Of the four players that night (+ Malisse-Ginepri undercard), Donald clearly had the best shotmaking arsenal. Russell is a tenacious and crafty vet, the type that knows how to grind Donald down to a snapping point, and make the most out of his ability.
Anyway, good luck to both, and may the winner take out Raonic in the second round. Harrison looms later in that part of the draw, if he can bust through.

For too long the mirage of growth based on property speculation and financial gambling has hidden the harder virtues of making things productively.

The coalition is hoping the bank will stimulate up to £10bn of lending to small and medium-sized businesses. Cable will announce the investment in Brighton today at the Liberal Democrat party conference, along with reiterating his earlier call for an "industrial strategy" for the country.

Cruiser + Touring Motorcycles
Cruiser + Touring Motorcycles includes two of the most popular motorcycle categories, accounting for nearly three out of every four on-highway motorcycles sold in the United States. According to sales data from the Motorcycle Industry Council for 2012, motorcycles classified as "Cruiser" accounted for 32.3% and those classified as "Touring" accounted for 41.9% of total on-highway units sold. As discussed in Cruiser motorcycle guides, most cruisers are classically styled motorcycles that highlight the exposed engine–usually an air-cooled V–twin–and metalwork such as chrome exhaust pipes or heavy fenders. They typically offer a relaxed, feet-forward riding position favored by riders who, as the name implies, enjoy cruising down Main Street or their favorite back road. Touring motorcycles, which includes some cruisers as well as other types of bikes, are designed for long-distance travel. Touring motorcycle reviews look for typical details like a windshield (and sometimes a fairing) to protect the rider from wind, a comfortable seat and attached luggage, such as hard or soft saddlebags and possibly a trunk. Baggers, a nickname for motorcycles equipped with saddlebags, straddle the cruiser and touring categories and they're very popular today.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 31, 2007 Operation Homefront, a military support group dedicated to providing emergency assistance and morale to servicemembers and their families, recently received a $5.9 million grant to expand its services.
The grant came from the California Community Foundation's Iraq Afghanistan Deployment Impact Fund.
"We were deeply honored to receive this grant, and it will fund some big dreams that we, and our volunteers, have had," Meredith Leyva, chairman of Operation Homefront, said. "For example … we've been able to launch our Wounded Warrior Wives project."
The new Wounded Warrior Wives project is a combined effort of Operation Homefront and its online community, CinCHouse.com. The program is designed to provide comprehensive support to caregivers of wounded warriors, according to the CinCHouse Web site.
Operation Homefront and CinCHouse.com, are members of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and corporations with military personnel and their families serving at home and abroad.
"The grant allowed us to hire Dr. Julie Storey, a recently separated Air Force psychologist specializing in (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and other issues related to wounded warriors," Leyva said. "She's overseeing our Wounded Warrior Wives effort."
Storey's role includes offering guidance to online and real-world support groups as well as providing articles and information through the CinCHouse.come site, she said.
Leyva said the most exciting thing about the grant is the ability to fund developments with Operation Homefront's state chapters. Many of those chapters began as small military support groups and have come under Operation Homefront's umbrella.
"It's hard to run a nonprofit. There's a lot of paperwork, administration, accounting, all the stuff that seems to pull you off the mission," she said. "Operation Homefront has worked really hard to develop easy-to-use-tools that take that burden off the volunteers and let them focus on the core mission."
The grant funds will be disbursed to the group over a two-year period.

Updated 06/11/12: Hacking group Anonymous claimed to have leaked 28,000 Paypal passwords as part of an organised protest on Bonfire Night
PayPal has since contacted T3 with a statement discrediting the attack, which was in fact aimed at a different company.
"It appears that the exploit was not directed at PayPal after all, it was directed at a company called ZPanel," said a spokesperson for PayPal.
"The original story that started this and was retweeted by some of the Anonymous Twitter handles has now been updated."

Special to TexasHSFootball.com
To the surprise of virtually nobody, Deion Sanders' Prime Prep Academy is set to be shut down for "improper financial management and not complying with state education code," according to a Dallas Morning News report.
The school, which was co-founded by Sanders, has provided numerous examples of why the former National Football League (NFL) star should not have ventured down this road.
Sure, he may have had great intentions in his heart (debatable), but in reality, it was not the best business decision.
The charter school, which has branches in Dallas and Fort Worth, has been controversial since opening.
The school has seen Sanders fired and removed from the campus, co-founder D.L. Wallace "pressured" into resigning, the football team barred from participating in the University Interscholastic League, negative publicity for holding no open meetings and had the Fort Worth campus, for lower school students, ranked last out of 1,608 schools in the North Texas rankings of public and charter schools produced by the nonprofit Children at Risk.
At one point, the Dallas Observer reported that Sanders desired "a bigger role, and bigger salary at the school." The newspaper reported that Sanders was making $40,000 while Wallace collected $120,000 and that Sanders demanded more money. In a recording obtained by the Dallas Observer, Sanders tells Wallace, "I'm going to get more money, or there ain't going to be no school, that's just flat out how it's going to be".
Wallace claimed Sanders attempted to choke him and another employee, per the Dallas Observer. Numerous claims have been reported regarding Sanders getting verbally, or physically, abusive with school employees.
Clearly, this alone shows that Sanders really was not fit to run the academy. But, allow me to give a few more examples.
In March 2014, the landlord for the Fort Worth campus evicted the school, according to WFAA, an ABC affiliate. The station reported that the school "stopped paying the $18,000 per month rent".
Jumping to the present day, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) announced its intent to close the schools.
The school has been ineligible to participate in the federal free-and-reduced-lunched program and cannot participate in child nutrition programs, financial issues have yet to be corrected and has not followed "generally accepted accounting standards", according to the Dallas Morning News. The Texas Department Agriculture (TDA) has demanded repayment of $45,830.92 the school received for subsized meals in 2013, but provided no documentation the meals were served, according to the newspaper.
Sanders took to Twitter to provide comments of the situation. Sanders said in several consecutive tweets, "My former Co-Founder [D.L.] was a [c]rook and [h]eartless and we are still suffering from his [d]evilish ways. TEA informed Prime Prep [t]hey would revoke the charter pending appeal for the Food Program that Wallace hustled the state out of [$] 45,000. We will appeal immediately. I feel bad for this nonsense of yesterday affecting today and the potential of tomorrow for our students and new administration. We will [f]ight this like we have all the other battles that we've faced. [The school has had a] 100% graduation rate [two] years straight and 15 scholarships awared [i]n only [two] [y]ears of existence. In no form or fashion has me or my administration done any wrong regarding feeding or educating our students. Truth. I will play the [$] 45,000 myself to right [D.L.] Wallace['s] wrong to the state if they will accept it. Don't punish our kids for this [f]ool. Truth."
Sorry Mr. Sanders, it really does not work like that. I mean, the money was kind of requested a few months ago and you and your school failed to pay it off.
Truth be told, the situation should never have happened in the first place because you should have not opened, or continued with, the school.
Look, I know you are thinking about the children. I get that. And I think it is awesome that you are considered about the children getting an education – well, the report of you demanding more money suggests otherwise – but, there are other ways you can help the children.
How about scholarship programs? Clearly, leading a school is not working out in your favor.
Hit up local schools – whether lower or upper schools or even colleges – and say you would like to help pay off tuitions for the students that need it the most. In my opinion, it would be way easier to just write checks in that scenario then to continue running a very unsuccessful institution.
Or, you can even teach the most important form of education – character traits.
What a fantastic example you have set for the students that look up to you. Start a charter school to help the children, demand more money and bully your way around.
I can only imagine how many student-athletes are going to command excessive amounts of money when they get to the pros – assuming any of them will.
Oh, and let us not forget about how all the blame has always been placed on other people within the program. Sorry, but if you put your name on something and it goes awry, you kind of have to take some responsibilities here and there.
Then again, maybe you are already teaching them life lessons. I can already hear parents telling their children at the dinner table, "Now Johnny (or Suzy), Mr. Sanders has set a prime – some pun intended – example. If you are going to affiliate yourself with something, be prepared to face the music if something bad happens. And always, always, be respectful of others and be careful who and what you affiliate yourself with."
Nonetheless, let's just get this whole mess over with Mr. Sanders and allow the charter to be revoked and let us all move on with life. Honestly, how many people are going to be jumping to enroll, or reenroll, their children after seeing negative report after negative report?
With all due respect, this was not the prime (pun intended) situation for you to be involved with.

Product description
From her home in Oxford, Lydia's travels take her to the Lake District, Cambridge, Essex and Sussex. Along the way she meets Stephen, who becomes the sounding-board for her theories. She also meets Dorothy, a descendant of the long lost family. As the original purpose of her quest is fulfilled, the potentially deadly secrets of the journal emerge. Lydia's worst suspicions appear to be confirmed when she uncovers the circumstances of the journal writer's death. But even then the truth remains elusive. The author has drawn on a wide range of experience and enthusiasms to create a compelling novel that will attract puzzle solvers and family historians alike. Combined with a strong sense of time and place, A Habit of Dying will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers.

Why and how will Lancaster Baptist Church take the next step in its campus development—an expanded auditorium and new driveway?
The "why" is answered this way: because of what we believe. We have seen tremendous fruit in recent days as lives have been transformed by the Gospel and as new Christians continue to grow in their faith. Once again we find ourselves with overflowing facilities greatly in need of expansion. In order to continue to fulfill the Great Commission in our community and around the world, we must have the space for new Christians to grow in the Word of God. Great convictions precede great actions.
As for the "how?" We know it won't be by our economy. Unemployment is high, government deficits are high, and economic recovery is slow. In the midst of national decline and unprecedented challenges, God gave the prophet Zechariah these words, "Not by might, nor by power, but my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." There are three ways we can attempt to do the work of God: We can trust our own strength and wisdom. We can borrow the resources of the world. Or we can depend on the power of God.

FORT WAYNE — As has been the case since its inception, Saturday's Northeast Hoosier Conference Swimming and Diving Meet was dominated by perennial powers Homestead and Carroll, but the Columbia City boys' team worked its way into a tie for fourth in the team standings and the Lady Eagles took sixth at the Homestead pool.
The Eagle boys took fourth place finishes in both the first and last events of the day. In the 200-yard medley relay the team of Shane Bufkin, Nathan Koch, Dayne Trump and Jon Fix took fourth with a time of 1:54.32. In the meet-ending 400-yard freestyle relay, Foster Eber and Jared Merz joined Koch and Trump to post a time of 3:44.61, good for fourth.
For the Lady Eagles, the team of Cassie Bosselman, Taylor Duncan, Taylor Hartsock and Mishayla Hager took sixth in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 2:10.33 in the meet-opening event. The Eagle girls also got a sixth-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay where Hager joined with Katlin Knott, Dakota Lex and Miranda Eber to post a time of 2:01.35.
"The boys had a really good day, today," said Columbia City Head Coach Kristen Swonger. "Some of the freshman stepped up and swam well. The girls did okay, but we have a bit of work to do before sectionals. This is a big meet and some of the kids have never swam in a big arena like this, so I am pretty happy with the results." The Eagles return to action January 15th with a meet at Carroll.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this picture of Chris Higgins. At first glance, it's just a normal shot of a guy, maybe at the end of the shift, maybe just waiting for puck to drop. But on a closer examination, it becomes difficult to determine just what emotion he's wearing on his face. It could be anything. Hunger? Thirst? Ennui? Disappointment? Jealousy? Zombiism? One simply cannot know.
But I must. And thus, I decided to splice Higgins into a handful of images, just to see if, perhaps, I could find one well-suited to his emotional vacancy. What follows are my best guesses.
I give you: disappointment. Poor Higgins just wanted to rent Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel so that he'd be fully up to date on the mythology before he went to see Alvin & The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. But then he discovered his favourite movie rental placed was closing forever.
I give you: irritation. Poor Higgins was just trying to wipe his nose with his shirt, but Jeff Vinnick snapped a picture and the next thing the Canucks' winger knew his abs were all the rage. Then to make matters worse, someone put it in a gold leaf frame and called it art. Now he can't even go to the museum without seeing his washboard stomach.
I give you: zombiism. He's got the fake wound and the blank stare on lockdown. I'm also gonna go ahead and suggest this is where Higgins picked up that mystery infection.
I give you: jealousy. All Kiss Huggins wants is to be a part of the snuggles. Heck, he even hopped the boards just to join in. But then he had second thoughts. What if they don't accept him? What if they tell him to go back to the bench where he belongs? So instead, he just stood nearby, waiting to be invited.Tags: Chris Higgins, I Find this Photo Odd, Kiss Huggins, zombiism
Here's my take on it- Chris Higgins at a Beer Belly contest:
This has nothing to do with this article, but when are we getting a Welly's World update? He's doing relatively well with the Jets, so I figured there'd be something to talk about (that, and he's developed a bit of a comb overish side part). Is the segment not running anymore, or is he not interesting to you guys anymore?

EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö A public hearing was held during the East Greenwich Planning BoardŌĆÖs meeting last Wednesday evening to share updates on the hazard mitigation plan that will help the Town be ready if an emergency poses a threat to East Greenwich.
Peter Cusolito, a Senior Security & Emergency Management Consultant for VHB, which has an office in Providence, gave both the Planning Board and the public a half-hour presentation identifying the needs of addressing some trouble spots in East Greenwich in order to be prepared for a natural disaster, weather-related or otherwise.
An East Greenwich attorney was sentenced last Wednesday by Superior Court Judge Walter R. Stone after pleading no contest to embezzlement and elder exploitation.
Janet Mastronardi, 54, of 76 Goodwin St., East Greenwich, admitted that she embezzled close to $130,000 from an elderly woman, according to a press release from the Office of Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin, and she was sentenced to seven years, with 30 months home confinement and the remaining 54 months suspended with probation.
NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō If youŌĆÖve ever driven a car in Rhode Island then you probably know that many of the stateŌĆÖs roads and bridges are in need of repair. Several state officials gathered in Galilee on Friday morning to tour the Great Island Bridge, one of many in the state that is in disrepair and in dyer need of updates. The tour comes from a report from the White House released last week detailing state-by-state road conditions as well as a recent shortfall in funding for the federal Highway Trust Fund.
WARWICK ŌĆö With one quick slam of the champagne bottle by New England Institute of Technology Senior Vice President Cheryl Connors across a model submarine Monday morning, a giant step forward in bridging the skills gap within Rhode Island was taken Monday morning.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö In front of a packed and proud audience at Swift Community Center on July 14, two of East GreenwichŌĆÖs most decorated members of emergency service were promoted to higher levels within their respective departments.
Stanley Cirella and Michael Sullivan were each sworn in as deputy chief for the East Greenwich Police Department and East Greenwich Fire Department, respectively, and were formally honored for their tremendous heroism and valor to the community at-large with loud, thunderous standing ovations for both gentlemen by the public in attendance.
RICHMOND ŌĆö At Tuesday nightŌĆÖs town council meeting, Richmond Solar asked for a tax agreement for its proposed solar farm on Stilson Road that included paying a yearly lump sum to the town in lieu of tangibles taxes, which are normally levied on business equipment. The lump sum did not include Richmond SolarŌĆÖs property taxes, which the company would pay for its two and a half acre site located off of Stilson Road.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö A settlement was reached between homeowners on SarahŌĆÖs Trace and the Town of East Greenwich regarding assessed taxes on their respective properties.
In a unanimous 3-0 vote, members of the East Greenwich Town Council approved Monday evening at Swift Community Center the settlement with Christopher and Susan Lamendola, of 50 SarahŌĆÖs Trace, Thomas Hogan and Cynthia Peloso, of 40 SarahŌĆÖs Trace, and Keith and Wendy Amelotte, of 35 SarahŌĆÖs Trace, to which the homeowners will have a significant reduction of their assessed taxes for a four-year period.
The picture that is the upcoming election season is getting a little clearer within East Greenwich.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö A notable establishment on Main Street is about to gain a second life.
Members of the East Greenwich Town Council unanimously approved the applications for both a victualing license and an entertainment license for NormanŌĆÖs Tap and Restaurant Monday evening at Swift Community Center, more than five months after the half-century-old business was closed down due to an excessive debt.

Chihaya Ayase is the protagonist of the Chihayafuru series. She is a determined school girl who possesses remarkable hearing. She believes that by persevering in karuta, she will meet her childhood friend Arata again. Because of this, she begins a karuta club at her high school with Taichi.
Chihaya is a tall and slim teenage girl with long brown hair and brown eyes. She is considered beautiful and stunning. At school, she wears her uniform. When she isn't at school, she wears fashionable hand-me-down clothes from her sister. She also wears Daddy Bear clothes, especially when she practices karuta. When she was 12 years old, she had short hair, much like Taichi's current hair but slightly shorter with her ears exposed. She looked much like a tomboy. When she was in middle school, her hair grew longer (about shoulder length).
Chihaya is very diligent when it comes to Karuta, tomboyish, outgoing and ambitious. She is generally absent-minded or oblivious towards her surroundings, except when it comes to Karuta. Chihaya trusts others easily and can be deceived with little effort. She is seen as good-natured, easy-going, and as straightforward as her style of karuta. She often says the first thing that pops into her head, much to the dismay of those around her. She is also extremely competitive towards anyone she perceives as a rival, friend or foe, and can be very petty. Though she's pretty, everyone calls her a 'beauty in vain' because her attitude and general behavior does not match her looks. She is obsessed with "Daddy Bear". She wears clothes with the "Daddy Bear" logo and also has a "Daddy Bear" on her school bag.
Kenji Ayase
Kenji Ayase is Chihaya's father. He made an album containing photos and articles regarding her success in Karuta. He is a very proud and supporting father.
Chieko Ayase
Chieko Ayase is Chihaya's mother. She bought Chihaya her own hakama.
Chitose Ayase
Chitose Ayase is Chihaya's older sister. Prior to meeting Arata, Chihaya's dream was for Chitose to become the number one model in Japan. Chitose is later annoyed when her younger sister's admiration towards her is replaced by her devotion to karuta. She goes on to become a moderately successful model, and is well-known in Chihaya's high school.
Arata Wataya
Chihaya and Arata Wataya are childhood friends. Chihaya was his first friend in Tokyo, and the only one that stood up to the other students (particularly Taichi) to defend him. He also introduced the thrill of Karuta to Chihaya. When Arata gives up Karuta as atonement for his grandfather's death, Chihaya (and Taichi) convince him to play Karuta again. Chihaya oscillates between affection and aggravation toward Arata. She considers him both her treasured childhood friend and distant Karuta ideal, and their meetings throughout the series are often characterized by disheartening on her part at the disparities in their ability. Though their interactions are usually short, Chihaya is shown to deeply cherish her time with Arata. The more profound, emotional facet of their relationship is paralleled to several verses in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, often ones emphasizing distance, love, or longing. Although in chapter 37, when Chihaya leaves with Kana-chan back to school, she hinted that Arata is merely her childhood friend. But in chapter 92 and at the end of the second season of the anime, Chihaya realizes that she likes Arata and that she will always like him no matter what. Arata confesses his feelings for Chihaya after losing to Harada-sensei in the Master Qualifiers. Chihaya, however, leaves him unanswered.
Taichi Mashima
Chihaya and Taichi Mashima are long-time childhood friends. They lose contact when Taichi transfers to Kaimeisei Middle School, which Chihaya views at the time as a gross betrayal, though they later part on amiable terms. They reunite at Mizusawa High School, and he is convinced to start a Karuta club with Chihaya, after watching Chihaya win a B-class tournament and rise to A-class. Taichi is the most tolerant and understanding of Chihaya's whims, and is probably her staunchest supporter. Despite having a girlfriend at the start of the series, he later breaks up with her in a short, dry conversation. It is shown that he has feelings for Chihaya, yet she is oblivious towards them. It is likely that Taichi is Chihaya's closest friend and that they share one of the deepest friendships in the series. He starts to ignore her just to make her realize his affection, but every time he does, Chihaya inclines toward Arata. Though it is hinted that Chihaya may have started to develop slight feelings for Taichi in chapter 45 when she blushes, stating that her "heart is racing" and that "it's a strange feeling" when he asks her, "Wanna go to my room?" (compared to his previous rejection of permission for her to enter).
Kanade Oe
Kanade Oe is one of the members of Chihaya's karuta club. When Chihaya went to visit her family's shop, Kanade taught her the true meanings behind each of the 100 poems. She is often seen trying to school Chihaya into being more lady-like.
Shinobu Wakamiya
Shinobu Wakamiya first met Chihaya during the individual high school tournament. During their match, Shinobu fangirls over Chihaya's Daddy Bear t-shirt. Chihaya does the same over Shinobu's Snowmaru t-shirt. During the break in between the Queen matches, Chihaya visits Shinobu. Shinobu calls her by first name, indicating friendship. Chihaya gives her Snowmaru dorayaki. However, when Shinobu finds out that Chihaya missed the Queen Qualifiers because of her school field trip, Shinobu crushes the Snowmaru dorayaki.
When she was in elementary school, Chihaya's dream was for her sister to become the top model in Japan. As a child, she was very opinionated, and had a tendency to blurt out the first thing that would come to her mind. She had a strong sense of right and wrong, as when her classmates were bullying Arata Wataya, the new transfer student, Chihaya stood up for him. She even became Taichi's target and endured some of the bullying for Arata's sake.
After she met Arata and played karuta with him, he told her that a dream was something she had to have, and achieve, on her own. During a school karuta tournament, Arata's glasses were stolen (by Taichi), so Chihaya took his place and won. Arata was the first one to recognize that Chihaya had natural aptitude in karuta, due to her quick reflexes, penchant for deep concentration when it counts, and near superhuman hearing that lets her hear the key syllables of the poems before her opponents can. Chihaya, Arata and Taichi become best friends. They play Karuta together. However, Taichi decides to go to a special middle school far from Chihaya's and Arata returns to Fukui because his grandfather fainted. Chihaya becomes depressed because of their separation, saying that they'll meet again if they keep playing karuta.
In middle school, Chihaya does her best to find "Karuta friends". However, her schoolmates find Karuta strange. Because of this, she joins the Track and Field Club. She tells Harada-sensei that other than being able to make friends, the bang of the gun reminds her of Karuta and that Track and Field would help her stay in shape.
The story starts with a flashback of how Chihaya, Taichi, and Arata met, and formed strong bonds of friendship. Their time was limited though, as Taichi graduated into an elevator school due to his high grades, and Arata moved back to his home town of Fukui.
Chihaya tries to create a new karuta club during her freshman year of a fairly prestigious Tokyo high school, Mizusawa High. Her reputation precedes her and she is well known as a "beauty" because of her sister's rising stardom. Unfortunately, she is also known as a "wasted beauty" because once she opens her mouth, she has a tendency to drive people away with her Karuta fanaticism and they realize she's a bit of a nut. She has few friends in high school, aside from those who knew her in middle school on the track team, and is desperately seeking the bonds from her childhood which were broken with time and distance.
Taichi returns from his escalator school because he was sick of the hour and half long commute, and Chihaya finds out they go to the same school, she wants to persuade Taichi to join and help with her karuta club if she becomes a Class-A karuta player. She succeeds and becomes a Class A karuta player by beating Yasuda and begins the Mizusawa High School Karuta Club. Taichi and her are the fist two members to begin with. They gather Kanade Oe (Kana-chan), Tsutomu Komano (Desk-kun), and Yusei Nishida (Nikkuman-kun). They become an official club after they gather Yusei, but Taeko Miyauchi requests to change the club's president to anyone other than Chihaya, which everyone agrees to Taichi becoming the club's president, most likely due to Chihaya's often over-zealous passion for karuta that would likely drive off her team members if she was in charge, and so Chihaya becomes the "Captain" of the Karuta Club.
Each member of the club has a certain element to bring to the team. Taichi, first in their class, has a photographic memory and is seen as being a "tensai" without even studying. Truth is, he is a very hard working person who is extremely intelligent who is successful in both the social and academic fields. As a former athlete, he has endurance and he is able to read people and situations. He has a lot more tact than Chihaya and is a capable leader.
Kana, whose love for everything dating back to the ancient periods of feudal Japan, adds culture and refinement to the team and the game. She understands the history behind the poems, the authors of the poems and the historical/political/romantic backdrop to the poems. She is able to teach Chihaya the true personality and "color" of each of the 100 cards, thus honing Chihaya's skills in Karuta further.
Nishida is extremely talented as a Karuta player, having a true love for the game as Chihaya does. He is strong in stressful, competitive situations, and brings his experience to the table. Having been in the world of competitive Karuta longer than the others, he is able to recognize the members of the opposing teams and describe their adversaries in detail. He is also a formidable sparring opponent for Chihaya to practice with and can give her a run for her money.
Komano, second in their class, is competitive when it comes to Taichi Mashima, who always comes first academically. He is meticulous and carefully studies the strategies behind Karuta. Both he and Kana hope to catch up to the others soon, as to not be a burden to the team. He is willing to sacrifice himself to be paired with a stronger opposing player, just to increase his team's chances of winning.
In essence, Chihaya is the "heart" of the club, and her enthusiasm and profound ability to draw people in and make true friendships binds the team together. Her goal is to take them to the national championships and each step taken together with her friends is another step closer to achieving her title of "Queen," and one step closer to Arata, who is already the "God of Karuta" in her eyes.
For reasons not immediately known to Chihaya, she discovers that Arata quit competitive karuta a few years ago--around the same time they lost touch. She even goes so far as to drag Taichi with her to Fukui to see Arata, the one she's wanted to see for so long. The two friends discover that Arata had changed, and after giving up karuta, he became socially and emotionally isolated. Chihaya is devastated by the discovery and hopes to show Arata how far she can take her dream of becoming "Queen" of karuta.
The title of the series, "Chihayafuru," are the first syllables of a Karuta card that Arata once told her was her "namesake" card, a word that means "with deep feeling." Both would always see that particular card as special, and representative of their friendship. Incidentally, it becomes Chihaya's strongest card because her hand is always drawn to it. Kana later explains its true meaning as "a red colored love/passion that never fades."

Karuta Style
Chihaya's karuta style is based on her remarkable hearing ability and quick reflexes. She relies solely on instincts and "game-sense", thus often faulting. Though this style of Karuta was sufficient to see her through B-class, she was initially unable to shine when against A-class players. She is seen struggling to clarify and refine her karuta style throughout the series, and with each successive match, whether a win or a loss, she gained new insights on either her own or others' styles of Karuta. She is particularly awed by Shinobu's "silent karuta", and perseveres to reciprocate it.
Some have noted similarities between Chihaya's style of karuta and the current Meijin's, Hisashi Suo, as they both have the ability to discern variances in the modulation of the first syllable of multi-syllable verses, rendering them as one-syllable cards. Chihaya has 20 one-syllable cards among the hundred-card Hyakunin Isshu. Other people considered to have a similar ability are Rion Yamashiro and the former Queen, Haruka Inokuma.
After injuring her dominant right hand, Chihaya has been playing karuta with her left hand. This restriction lead her to be aware of the advantages of left-handed players against right-handed players. Her teammates are initially worried by the lack of vigor and strength in her swings, until Nishida realizes that it's not that her swings are weaker but that she no longer expels unnecessary energy. She reflects that the "truth to the soundless karuta" lies "farther along this path", implying a drastic development in Chihaya's future style of Karuta.

Brendan, sure Helm does this, but if he didn't get injured, do you think we would have won the series? A little more luck could have won this series for us and maybe motivated our team for the second round(not likely), look at last year. We pounded the Coyotes, but just lost our fire in the second round.
We need to stop relying on just a couple of people on the team showing up. The last half of the season I read countless posts about this "switch", hopes and dreams...
I agree, Helm is a very important part of this team, he brings energy and is a great PKer, but he wouldn't have made a difference in this series. Face it, he doesn't know how to finish, he gets a lot of opportunities but he never seems to finish. I hope he recovers and doesn't lose that energy.
I wasn't impressed with the Predators effort or talent. We lost this series on our own, I don't see the Predators making it to the finals and I for sure don't see them beating up any teams along the way if they do.
Jimmy had a bad night but he isn't the reason we are going to lose the series. He has actually played very well most of this series and most of the year. We are going to lose because of a lack of passion and effort, plus the puck just didn't bounce our way. This series could be 3-1 in our favor had we been able to finish a couple open net goals.
It just may happen, the wings this year can't seem to put forth an effort unless someone has a knife at their throats. Face it, the switch is broken, I originally chose nashville in 6, I think the wings come out for the next game, but I don't see them winning 3 in a row.
90% of our shots are from our defense on the blue line. The NBC announcers said it best, "It doesn't even look like they are trying to get a goal on the first shot". Our style is getting very boring and very predictable. Teams have learned how to shut us down, just give us 40 shots from the blue line, wait for a block, get an odd man rush, rinse, repeat.
Well, said, although I don't like the calls I don't think they are the reason we lost. We just can't catch a break, we have had so many open net situations in this series, but we just can't close the deal.
Datsyuk is amazing, totally undressed that defender...
Please take this to a PM or something, you know what they say about arguing over the internet? Even if you win, you are still retarded...
We had a lot more traffic in front of their net this game, too much this season I didn't see that traffic with lots of shots from the blue line. I personally think the shots from the blue line aren't as effective unless you have people driving the net for rebounds.
Did you see the Nashville fans throwing towels onto the ice? They are throwing in the towel, then don't want anymore :)
I can't believe how he has performed with a bum knee. He is a pitbull...
That was a very well played game, Shanaban did us a favor, we were so fired up...
Howard was a beast. The PK has been amazing, stopping a very good PP(they look to be in a slump, like we were/are). I thought Miller had a great game also, his defense was superb.
The fans were pretty much out of the game most of the night. We have officially stolen home ice advantage.
Was a very good game to watch.
This was an exciting game. They played with passion, just couldn't get the win. They had Rinne out of the net a couple times, just too many bodies in the way to hit it home.
Good to see them playing like they wanted to win, the last 20 games seemed like they could only play if they had a knife at their throats. I hope the next game goes better, we really need to take one of these IMO.
Also, Weber should get a couple games for that, I don't feel it is any different than targeting the head with a check. Very poor sportsmanship.
X, you are either the biggest troll ever or you need to tighten up your tin foil hat because drivel is coming out of your mouth more and more after each post. In almost every post you say anyone who disagrees with you is a troll, do you know what a forum troll is? In are defining it lately, here are some links:
The first link has the following in the first paragraph:
An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.
You even ended your post with the name calling, you are quite the efficient troll...
I wasn't trolling or saying that we must have home ice advantage, I merely think it is good to go into the post season with some positive momentum. At this time, I am not very optimistic, as many other fans are not.
I agree with many points you make, but I can't agree with your attitude that the players will just kick it up when playoffs start, it isn't like the other teams aren't going to get more intense. If we don't start climbing out of this hole we are continuing to dig for ourselves, it could spell trouble. Let's face it, we have several players coming back from injuries, with 5 games left in the season. Most other teams are playing as well, if not better, now than they have all season long.
Also, the last comment in my post could have been clearer, I am not predicting an early exit, I am just stating that even if the wings do drop early, I am still going to enjoy watching a lot of good hockey. I have setup a HTPC with several TB of storage and I plan on recording every game I can. I love the NHL post season, even when I am not watching my favorite team.
This game is pretty important if we care about home ice for the first round, look who we face for the final four games(FLA,STL,NJD,CHI). All of those teams are in the playoffs and fighting for position...
I certainly hope we see a better effort than the effort in Columbus for the final five games. I do believe that momentum is important, I like to look optimistic going into the playoffs.
This isn't a movie, this is real life, I don't believe it is probable that the wings will just flip a switch in the playoffs and come out of this current slump they are in(I know they have won two games out of the past three but the wins came against two of the worse teams in the league).
Man, if we didn't have the injuries we had, we would be in contention for the presidents cup, even with the injuries we should have been at 102ish, many close games, would have been great to find a way to win a couple...
Either way, I am excited for the playoffs to start, gonna be a lot of good hockey, even if the wings don't go far.
Where do you get these quotes? From the smell I can guess, but...
What a bunch of drivel this is, or a masterful troll bait... I can't tell with your posts, they are always so optimistic, speaking about how the veterans will just turn it on in the playoffs.
I just started following the wings again the last couple years, I live out of state, but I have seen every game they have played in the past two years and I can tell you that the last month has been disgusting, no matter how many injuries they have had. No excuse for the loss tonight against a rookie goalie with two starts under his belt.
I agree completely, they need to win tonight and they should win tonight, no excuses with only 6 games left.
I agree on the Hudler issue, he shows some numbers on paper but I think that was just because he was on a line with two players that made those numbers for him. I thought Nyquist fit better with Z and Phil because all 3 on his line were all working hard. I don't like that we are constantly putting people with Datsyuk saying he can elevate them, he should be with some talent.
I think in the playoffs when hopefully the Mule is his normal self and maybe a Datsyuk, Franzen and Nyquist line will be dominant.
Well deserved 2nd star Conklin, the play time was really good for you. Also a wings team that is more responsible and dominance in the face off circle didn't hurt :)

Real Housewives of Atlanta
OMG Alert: Check out These Old Pictures of Kim Zolciak Without Her Wig!
As if we needed another reason to love Andy Cohen, earlier today he tweeted four old pictures of Kim Zolciak (all pre-wig!) and asked his followers to caption them.
Each of the four fabulous pictures was accompanied by this text, "Caption this picture of Kim Zolciak and we'll reveal our favorites on WWHL this Sunday!!!!"
Watch What Happens Live will be all about the Real Housewives of Atlanta this Sunday because Bravo is airing a Before They Were Housewives Special featuring some of the ATL gals.
All of the pics Sir Cohen tweeted show a young Kim — looking a lot like her daughter Brielle — as a brunette, before a mysterious medical condition (Kim claimed doctors thought she had cancer, but later retracted that statement) caused her to lose her hair and don a wig.
One thing is for sure: Andy will have a lot of hilarious captions to sort through before Sunday night!
Check out the gallery of young Kim pics below!
