Season 4 season premiere and we're along for the ride with Rachel at NYADA (New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts), and watching auditions for the Glee club at McKinley. Kate Hudson and Whoopi Goldberg guest star!
In New York, at NYDA, Rachel gets an eye-opener from bitchy teacher Cassandra July (Kate Hudson). "You suck," Cassandra tells her, when she flubs a dance number.
Back at McKinley, the Glee club are treated like celebrities. Tina broke up with Mike and has a personnel assistant.
Back in NY, Rachel lies in bed with a pillow over her head, trying not to listen to her roommate have sex. She wishes Kurt would have gotten in with her. She goes to shower at 3:00 AM and finds a guy in the shower singing "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger. He slips out of the shower, wet, with a six pack, and she stares at his buff body. They diss Cassandra and commiserate over their personal routines and Brody makes a point of telling her he's straight, before taking off.
The next morning, Rachel calls Kurt and talks up school and how Cassandra loves her. Kurt hangs up and meets Robin, Coach's daughter. Sue calls Kurt a desperate sad sack for sticking around but he insists he's not and his classes start next week.
In the first Glee class, Will introduces Wade 'Unique' Adams as the MVP of last year's final. The competition to be the new Rachel is enough. The last thing they want to hear is about Wade. Will reminds them they're a team who supports new members. The kids later meet at the auditorium and perform a song for Artie, who will decide the new lead soloist. They agree on a song and start singing and dancing to "Call Me Maybe," by Carly Rae Jepson. Artie listens closely but makes no decision.
Kurt serves coffee at the coffee shop before school. Some of the kids talk about how it's hard to get a hold of Santana with her cheer-leading schedule.
Back in New York, Cassandra's TA quits because of his Broadway play. She's proud of him.
In the cafeteria at McKinley, the kids ask Artie if he has made a decision about a soloist but these things take time. A new girl Marley, drops by to say hello. They brush her off and Marley sits nearby and overhears the kids poke fun at the new lunch lady's weight. Marley goes to the lunch lady, who is very encouraging about her voice. It's Marley's mother, and she tells Marley they'll meet later - away from the school. She doesn't want anyone to know they're related.
Back in NY, Cassandra "motivates" Rachel in class. Rachel notices there's alcohol on her breath. Cassandra calls it Listerine and tells the class she can dance circles around them. She shows them by dancing and singing to "Americano/Dance Again," by Jennifer Lopez.
Back at McKinley, there are auditions for Glee club that make the kids' jaws drop. Jake gets up to sing and the kids find him sexy and good. They stop his song half-way through, which pisses him off. He knocks over a music stand and walks off.
At NYADA, in the round room, Carmen (Whoopi Goldberg) welcomes the students back. They'll sing once tonight and once again in the winter showcase if they're good. Beatrice gets up to sing "Ave Maria" by Hans Schubert. Carmen listens for a moment and then kicks her off stage. Rachel sings "New York State Of Mind," written by Billy Joel. Brody watches, smiling. At the same time, over at McKinley, Marley sings the same song. Both do really well. Brody claps for Rachel and Carmen says, "Nice." Meanwhile, Will loves Marley's rendition but the Glee students don't say much.
Next day, Will posts the new Rachel on the bulletin board. Marley's thrilled at getting into New Directions. Jake's crushed when he doesn't get in. Kurt organizes the sheet music as Artie finally tells the kids Blaine's the new Rachel. Marley visits her mother in the lunch room, who's happy she got into New Directions. Marley confesses the kids were making fun of her and doesn't like how it feels. Her mother wants her to have a chance to sit at the popular kids table and tells her not to blow it. Blaine encourages Kurt to go back to New York to re-apply to NYADA. He sings "It's Time," by Imagine Dragons.
Britney argues with Blaine about winning the next Rachel. The kids start making fun of the lunch lady until Marley stands up for her and tells them that's her mother. "I thought you guys were different," she mutters before tearing up and running off.
In NY, Brody tells Rachel she 'killed it' in Carmen's class. Rachel feels she's going to throw up all the time. Brody gets it. He takes a photo of them together and tells her not to fight "the new you." He walks her to class, where Cassandra singles her dancing out. Rachel's got a new attitude though and decides to keep quiet.
Kurt's dad drops him off at the airport and gives him a pep talk about all good artists paying their dues. Kurt's touched and hugs his dad goodbye. "I'm going to miss you Dad," he says. "You can always come back..." Kurt's dad says but knows he won't. He weeps when Kurt walks away.
Sam goes to Marley at McKinley and apologizes for the way the kids treated her and her mother. He's been there. The other kids share in his apology. Being popular felt too good and they let it go to their heads. The cheerleaders turn up and the new kids get slushies thrown at them. Jake turns up in Will's office and it turns out he's Puck's half-brother. Will wants him to join the Glee club in order to help him with the chip off his shoulder. He interrupted his solo because he thinks Jake's really good! Jake doesn't want to lose his chip. "I'm not my brother," he says.
The show ends with Marley singing "Chasing Pavements" by Adele as Jake turns up momentarily and then rushes off.
In New York, Rachel sits on a park bench in crying. She calls Kurt and admits she lied. Her dance teacher is a monster and her roommate's sleeping with everyone. She misses him. Kurt thinks maybe she should get a new roommate. He tells her to look behind her! He's standing there. They run into each other's arms happily.
Christine's commentary:
We've been looking forward to season 4 all summer long and guess what? It didn't disappoint! I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the show being split between New York and McKinley, but it works for me and I'm loving Rachel and Brody and that Kurt's with Rachel now in NY. Kate Hudson did a great job as bitchy ego-maniacal dance teacher Cassandra and Marley and Jake had beautiful voices. Sure we saw no Finn or Santana, but you can't have everything! I'd love to hear your thoughts about tonight's premiere - even if you disagree with my viewpoint. Leave us a comment below.

When you look at the beautiful expanse of the Gulf of Mexico, it is hard to imagine families along the coast are struggling.
But according to Stephanie McMinn, there is no shortage of families in need, and the Santa Rosa Beach philanthropist is aiming to lend a helping hand.
"If we step off the beautiful 30A or miraculous Scenic Highway 98, you can find those in need," she said.
Seeing the need in the community, McMinn and her close friend Courtney Hatten set out to help them via BeGenerous, an organization that collects and distributes diapers, food, and larger items to Northwest Florida families.
McMinn said she received a divine push to start the organization when she and Hatten attended a Night of Worship for women at their home church of Destiny Worship Center. The speaker, Lisa Bevere, presented a seminar "encouraging women to be awakened by their passion and to follow their dreams," said McMinn, who left "fired up," though unsure how to proceed.
At this time, the success of her husband's property restoration business, Emerald Coast Clean Up, allowed her to be a stay-at-home mom, though she said she longed for something more.
One day in 2010, shortly after the women's seminar, McMinn happened to catch Ellen Pompeo as the guest on "The Ellen Show."
Pompeo was promoting Huggies' "Every Little Bottom" campaign to provide clean diapers to families who cannot afford them.
"That was it," said McMinn. "It resonated with me. I was a teenage mom. Although I had love and support of my family, I still struggled. I researched the need, and saw statistics such as one out of three mothers in America struggles to provide diapers for her babies."
McMinn told Hatten about the issue, and the two decided their mission would be to alleviate the financial strains of local families by providing them diapers and food.
In 2011, BeGenerous came to reality, and not long after, word "spread like wildfire and needs started pouring in."
McMinn said organizations from local food pantries to the Florida Department of Health sought the help of BeGenerous, which was able to meet their needs thanks to community members' donations.
"BeGenerous is the voice, the bridge. The people make it happen. Their generous hearts and willingness to be the hands and feet are changing our community," said McMinn.
Though McMinn's involvement with BeGenerous slowed following an unfortunate accident in July 2011, which rendered her husband paralyzed and herself the family's sole provider, she has returned to her "God-given mission" more determined than ever.
And for a mother of a six-child blended family, wife to a disabled husband, and a full-time worker outside of BeGenerous, it is a balancing act.
But she says she's no Wonder Woman.
"God does it for me," she said. "Honestly, I think he turns the clock back throughout the day giving me a few more hours so I can do it all."
And she's just thankful to act as a conductor of good will.
"Many, believe it or not, come back to me asking if they can pay it forward," said McMinn. "Giving those in need hope, instilling their faith in God … It is truly a blessing to be a part of."
To help BeGenerous, email McMinn at firstname.lastname@example.com, call her or Courtney Hatten at 974-3170, or visit begenerousinc.org or gmommasmission.blogspot.com.
McMinn says the greatest need is diapers, though they accept food items, clothing, furniture, and other family necessities. Drop-off locations for small items are La Florida Coastal Properties in Grayton Beach at Grayton Corners and Prime Lending, 36164 Emerald Coast Parkwayin Destin. Email McMinn for drop-off of larger items.

Edit contents of grid in text input areas
I am working on the early stages of a GPL project (http://avoir.uwc.ac.za/projects/ewage) and would like to use the Grid control in my pages.
I realise that the 'on-grid' editing functionality is not available yet so would like to try and implement the following:
Display a grid with data in.
Editing existing rows:
When a row is selected, display the contents of the row in input boxes below the grid. The user is allowed to edit the text boxes and save the contents, at which point the grid is updated. The user should also be able to cancel an edit and the changes to the grid are not 'committed'.
Adding new rows:
The user clicks 'add new' button. The currently selected row on the grid (if any) is un-highlighted and the input boxes are cleared. The user fills in the input boxes and clicks save button. The new data is added to the grid. Alternatively the user clicks cancel and the text input boxes are cleared.
Deleting rows:
The user selects a row and clicks the delete button. The row is deleted.
Has anyone done this sort of thing?
I am new to these widgets and would really appreciate it if someone could share an example with me (I also try to hold down a 'normal' job so time is of the essence here ;-)

This sample could help.
Wednesday, February 2, 2005
Thanks Carlos
I will look at your code on the weekend - when I can download it onto my PC. For now I have implemented a minimal solution using javascript which I would be willing to share with anyone.
I have however run into a few minor problems:
1) Scrollbar obscuring last column when new rows are added
2) Remove row selection:
A further question relates to the API available. Where can one find the complete API - e.g. the properties of the grid that can be set. I have checked out the reference but this does not seem to be complete.
e.g. grid.setProperty("selection/multiple", true);

Snowmobile trails re-routed
The first official day of winter is tomorrow but it's pretty apparent that the snow and cold weather has already arrived. That's good news for the snowmobile economy, but as a safety precaution riders need to be aware of re-routes and watch for signs. News Source 8's Angela Christoforos reports…
Snowmobile season is here, and winter sports enthusiasts are eager to get riding.
Superintendent of Caribou Parks and Rec Kathy Mazzuchelli said, "We caution everybody that give them a little bit more time, we got some more cold weather coming, stay off the lakes for a while there's still water running so anywhere there's an inlet the ice isn't going to be as thick normally as it would be out in the middle of the lake."
In the more than 2300 miles of snowmobile trails in the County, there's 8 major reroutes that riders need be aware of.
"The biggest re-route of note is Portage. Portage's section of ITS 85 will no longer be on Portake Lake," said Mazzuchelli.
That also includes ITS 85 and 86 around the Oxbow area, Ashland area, ITS 83 between Bridgewater and Mars Hilll, a huge re-route on route 100 and some smaller reroutes along ITS 90 in Caribou and ITS 81.
Mazzuchelli said, "Basically a lot of those aren't going to show up on the maps a lot because timing and sometimes we don't find out till this time of year there's a re-route. If they get out on a section of trail that no ones been out grooming on cause they think they know the trail is there and they find out it isn't, very conceivable to run into an active logging operation."
It's illegal to go down a trail that isn't groomed, and riders that do will get a citation. Mazzuchelli says trails are expected to be in good riding shape just after Christmas.
Snogoer Magazine rates Northern Maine as one of the TOP 10 best places to snowmobile in the country. You get a trail map at www.visitaroostook.com.

Division of Labor
To the Editor:
Daniel Casseœs view that federal court decisions in areas such as busing, affirmative action, prisons, abortion, and separation of church and state freed Congress in the late 70's to do mischief elsewhere ["A Party of One: Clinton and the Democrats," July] is, to put it bluntly, off the wall.
First, except for affirmative action, congressional authority in these areas is severely limited and largely directed to proposing amendments to the Constitution. More importantly, the genesis of the important decisions covering these matters came in the late 60's and the important cases were decided by the Supreme Court in the early 70's under Chief Justice Warren Burger. Roe v. Wade (abortion) was decided in 1973 and Swann v. Charlotte-Mechlenburg Board of Education (school busing) in 1971. . . .
Avern Cohn
Detroit, Michigan
Daniel Casse writes:
Of course Avern Cohn is correct that the judicial activism of the Supreme Court began well before the 1970's. But it hardly stopped with the Roe and Swann cases. The point I tried to make in my article is that liberal Democrats who came to Congress after 1974 recognized that the pursuit of issues once central to their political agenda—the promotion of racial preferences, the reform of abortion laws, and so on—had evolved into an exclusively judicial strategy.
With the courts helping to advance this more-established part of the liberal social agenda, the post-Watergate Democrats in Congress broadened their legislative agenda to include new environmental and business regulation, expansion of entitlement programs, intensive oversight of foreign policy, and, under President Carter, the appointment of federal judges who would protect and enhance the activist rulings of the Warren and Burger courts. It was a division of labor that undoubtedly delighted the Democratic party.

Tales of the city
Neighbour reveals the history of Sydney's famous inner-city laneway to Domain's Stephen Nicholls.PT1M8S http://news.domain.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-328ia 620 349 February 8, 2014
It's Sydney's answer to Barbary Lane, the street author Armistead Maupin made famous in his Tales of the City books.
And on Saturday, McElhone Place in inner-city Surry Hills - over the years home to alley cats, eccentrics, drag queens, award-winning gardens and advertising executives - was the scene of a lively auction in which a tiny unrenovated one-bedroom cottage on just 51 sq m of land sold for $745,000.
With 205 of the 296 results in to Australian Property Monitors on Saturday evening, the clearance rate was 84.4 per cent, which is 22 percentage points higher than the same weekend last year. "Those figures speak for themselves," says APM's Senior Economist, Dr Andrew Wilson.

The new owners of 8 McElhone Place will have to step outside the back door to use the bathroom.
The 1800s heritage-listed cottage in the pedestrian-only laneway had last sold for just $31,500 35 years ago in 1979.
Exactly a year ago, the home's beautifully renovated neighbour - identical in size - sold for $715,000 - $30,000 less than Saturday's result. Until Saturday, that had been the record for the street.
Sold on Saturday for $745,000: 8 McElhone Place, Surry Hills.
''That one was substantially better than this one and on the same size land, so it just goes to show how much the market has moved,'' Raine & Horne agent Gerard Hill said.
There were four people fighting over it.
The winner, management consultant Greg Field, who plans to live in the property with his partner Mario Amori, a painter, says he was almost up to his limit. ''I had about $5000 more,'' Mr Field said.
Sold last February for $715,000: 10 McElhone Place, Surry Hills.
The couple plan to rent out their house around the corner in Marshall Street and move into McElhone Place because of its community vibe.
''We know a lot of people in the street so it will be wonderful to live here,'' he said.
They're planning to do some minor renovations and extend upstairs in a similar way to their neighbours.

One of McElhone Place's colourful characters - who resembles Maupin's Anna Madrigal - is Claudette Roy, who once worked for the maritime union. Ms Roy bought her place for $24,500 in the 1970s. She says there wasn't a single plant in the street and cars up on the footpath when she moved in. ''Oh my God, it was a slum,'' she said.
But Ms Roy and her neighbours lobbied council to have the street closed to cars and filled concrete tubs with plants to beautify the laneway. It went on to win a string of awards for its gardens.
Advertising executive Rainer Knobloch, who rents in McElhone Place, says he'd been walking through this lane for five years and always wanted to move there.
Former AC/DC bass guitarist Mark Evans sold 12 Starling Street, Lilyfield for $1.32 million. Photo: Supplied
APM data shows that rents in the laneway range between $320 and $750 a week.
''I've lived in Munich, Athens, London and the Middle East, but when I came back to Sydney there was something about this area - and particularly McElhone Place - that just grabbed me.''
In the inner west, a three-bedroom home with water views at 71C Ballast Point Road, Birchgrove, fetched $1.8 million - $200,000 over its reserve. There were five registered bidders with four active.
''It's an outstanding result for local home owners,'' Belle Property agent Benjamin Martin said.
In Lilyfield, a three-bedroom home at 12 Starling Street, the home of former AC/DC bass guitarist Mark Evans, fetched $1.32 million, $35,000 over reserve. There were seven registered bidders, but Simon Pilcher of Pilcher Residential said only two were active.
''There were only about seven bids and it was all over in about 40 seconds,'' Mr Pilcher said.
''We had two very determined buyers.''
Emerging victorious was a young couple with a two-year old child. ''The child was the same age as Mark and Bille's child when they bought the place 15 years ago,'' Mr Pilcher said.

fan making noise
A buddy of mine has a Titanium Powerbook that's a couple years old and one of the fans is definitely either shot or gonna be KIA very soon. I'm looking for information on the fan so I can try and locate a new one to replace it. It's the fan located on the right side toward the rear of the notebook, near the power button.
Anyone have similar problems or any info on this fan?

Charles Phoenix, left, was born to love kitschy American culture, retro places, and vintage cars.
Who says history can't be fun? Certainly not Charles Phoenix , a performer, humorist, chef, and author best known for exploring America's pop cultural past and present. (And maybe as equally well known for his Thanksgiving dessert creation, the Cherpumple.)
This summer, Phoenix will explore a number of iconic retro places in California, including the Wig Wam Motel in San Bernadino -- where he held a one-night-only event in June to celebrate both the Rt. 66 landmark's recent National Register listing and also its dedicated owners/restorers -- and the upcoming Moonlight Rollerway Jubilee in Glendale.
We caught up with Phoenix in between all these hopping events to learn what first instilled in him his love for kitsch, what places have inspired him over the years, and why he doesn't consider himself a preservationist.

Re: NCAA Championship?
Damn I'm a little late. I'll do the remaining teams.
I think Kentucky can upset NC. NC has had a fairly easy road while kentucky has had to fight pretty hard. I think if the Carts can bring their game then NC won't be ready.
Kansas will beat VCU no question.
Then we got Kentucky vs. UConn. Another tough one... Wildcats have a had a great playoffs but UConn never fails to disappoint, I'm going with them.
I'm goin with Kansas over Butler too.
So finals are Kansas vs. UConn. Another tough one. I don't like Kansas so I want to say UConn, but Kansas has had a great year, I'm goin with them.
I still can't believe Marquette beat Syracuse, lot of big upsets this year.
Didn't really get to brackets this year, next best thing I guess lol.
I personally wanted the Buckeye's... It's a damn shame. Now I'm rooting for UNC, but Kentucky could beat them so idk.
Hey next year we should have our own DW brackets. Everyone throws in a drumkey or some moongel or something lol.

Summer festivals will be here before you know it, which means that I need to start thinking of a gift basket to raffle off to dog lovers and I love to include our favorite dog food brands. Feeding three dogs isn't always easy. We've spent a lot of time researching dog food brands to find a formula that works for all three of our dogs. We suspect that Rodrigo is allergic to chicken; removing chicken formulas (like Life's Abundance) from his diet alleviated the obsessive paw licking (whew!). He also has a sensitive stomach, so he inspired us to seek out quality, holistic dog food brands.
Today, we happily feed our dogs food from two different quality dog food brands. Halo, Purely for Pets Spot's Stew kibble. I think these along with our favorite treats would make a great gift basket. What do you think?
Update: Starting April 2013, we switched our dogs to a raw food diet. This post has been updated to remove treats that we no longer feed to our dogs.
Halo Pets Original Spot's Stew | Wild Salmon, Wholesome Lamb
Our dogs love their Halo Pets kibble. Every other brand we've tried, we've had to doctor it up a bit to get the dogs to eat it, not Halo Pets. A 28 pound bag costs $60 at Petco and lasts one month with our three dogs. I buy from Petco, because we earn points through the Pet Pals membership towards a $5 coupon with each purchase. I've been earning $10 a month that offsets their food.
Product Highlights (source: Halo Pets website):
- Real meat. No rendered meat or meal from chicken, poultry, lamb, fish or plants.
- Formulated with vitamins, minerals, and other trace nutrients
- No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
- Wild salmon, fresh lamb, butcher quality chicken
- Whole egg
- Bounty of farm-raised vegetables
- Home-style recipe with easy to recognize and understand ingredients
- Natural sources of soluble and insoluble fiber
- No corn, wheat or wheat gluten
Our favorite treats?
- Halo Liv-a-Littles Natural Treats for Dogs and Cats, Freeze-Dried Beef Protein
- ALL NATURAL Blueberry Flavored Waffles Dog Cookies – 16oz Box
- Carrots (our dogs love carrots; we buy them in bulk at Costco)
What are your favorite food and treat brands?

Cannabis farm run by illegal immigrant
Posted: September 28, 2012|
An illegal immigrant who was found running a cannabis farm is to be deported rather than jailed so taxpayers do not have to keep him.
Huyen Tran, 31, who speaks no English, will be put on a plane back to Vietnam on Monday after a judge gave him a token sentence of just one day.
Tran was arrested at a makeshift cannabis factory after a shocked buy-to-let owner in Exeter checked his property and found it had been kitted out with heaters, lights and other growing equipment.
Tran, of Oystermouth Road, Swansea, admitted producing cannabis and was jailed for a day by Judge Francis Gilbert, QC, at Exeter Crown Court.
Tran is already serving a 12-month jail sentence passed in June at Swansea, and is due to be released and deported on Monday. Judge Gilbert said: "It seems to me the public interest is best served by passing a sentence of one day so he can deported on Monday rather than serving another sentence."
Janice Eagles, prosecuting, said Tran was acting as a gardener and looking after the drugs at a rented house in Monks Road, Exeter, when the owner discovered the operation and called the police.

to RebeccaFayeSmithGalli.com a website devoted to the life, works, and dreams of Becky Galli and her father, the late Rev. Dr. R.F. Smith Jr.
In 1997, Becky was paralyzed from a rare inflammation of the spinal cord, Transverse Myelitis that began as a mild case of the flu. In six short hours, her active life screeched to a halt. A single mother of four, she had two children with special needs that included epilepsy, cerebral palsy and autism. With the onset of paralysis, she would begin yet another journey through devastating loss.
As she adjusted to life from the wheelchair, she discovered email and began writing about her daily escapades to family and friends. They encouraged her to publish. After a year of rejections, her first article appeared in the Op-Ed Section of The Baltimore Sun. She wrote about playing soccer with her son—-from the wheelchair. Other pieces followed and soon she was writing a monthly column, "From Where I Sit…" for two local weeklies. In 2003, after her father's death, Becky continued his Looking Homeward column for Huntington's Herald Dispatch and in 2011, she began her Tuesdays with Madison series for Autism After 16.
This website is her effort to keep connected to her extended family and friends she has made through her parents, her children, and the professionals who have helped her navigate through the maze of adversity.
"I'm living a life I didn't plan—but it is still good," she says. "'No experience is ever wasted unless you let it be,' my father often said. I am excited to see what tomorrow will bring. I've come to realize that life can be good—no matter what."

Video: Postgame Interview With Amy Lepley
WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross senior forward Amy Lepley (Norfolk, Mass) scored a game-best 17 points to go along with seven rebounds and four assists to lead the Crusaders to a come-from-behind, 60-55, victory over Lafayette in Patriot League women's basketball action on Wednesday evening at the Hart Center. With the win, Holy Cross improves to 9-10 overall and 1-3 in the Patriot League, while the Leopards slip to 7-12 on the season and 0-4 in the conference.
With 6:41 left in the second half, Lafayette held a nine-point, 52-43, advantage. Holy Cross, who led at halftime, embarked on what would be a game-changing rally to conclude the contest. The Crusaders scored 15 straight points during the run, including seven from Lepley and five from junior guard Brisje Malone (Springfield, Mass.) to gain the 60-52 lead with 22 seconds on the clock. Holy Cross forced three turnovers and held the Leopards to 0-6 shooting during the finish, until Lafayette hit a three-pointer with 11 seconds on the clock for its only points over the final six-plus minutes.
Holy Cross started the game firing as it held the 13-1 lead with 13:50 on the clock. Junior guard Alex Smith (Delran, N.J.) scored six points during the rally for the Crusaders. Lafayette would slowly chip into the deficit as it worked the score to 18-15 with a 14-5 rally over the next three minutes. Holy Cross answered with seven straight points to go ahead 25-15, with 7:13 on the clock, before it was able to push its margin back to 12 points (31-19) at the 3:18 mark of the first half. The Leopards ended the half on a 5-2 spurt to trail Holy Cross at halftime, 33-24.
Lafayette carried its momentum over into the beginning of the second half as it exploded on a 12-2 scoring surge to gain its first lead (36-35) with 15:44 on the clock. The Leopards continued to push ahead as they gained the 43-38 advantage with 12:43 left in the second half. Holy Cross would pick up the pace and trail only by two points (45-43) at the 9:12 mark, before a 7-0 rally by Lafayette gave it the 52-43 lead and set the game up for the dramatic finish.
In addition to Lepley's performance, Malone chipped in with 14 points, four rebounds and three steals, while Smith posted 12 points, a game-high six assists and four boards. Freshman forward Raquel Scott (Ridgewood, N.J.) scored six points and hauled in a game-best 10 rebounds. Kelly Loughney and Linnel Macklin each scored 12 points to lead Lafayette.
Holy Cross connected on 43 percent of its shots from the floor (22 of 51), while the Leopards drained 21 of 57 from the field (37 percent). The Crusaders canned 5 of 13 from behind the arc (39 percent), as Lafayette made 44 percent of its shots from downtown (44 percent). Holy Cross went 11 of 18 from the charity stripe (61 percent) and Lafayette hit 71 percent of its shots from the free-throw line (5 of 7). The Crusaders held advantages in rebounds (40-31), blocks (4-2), points in the paint (30-14) and second chance points (7-5).
Holy Cross returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 26 as it will travel to Patriot League opponent Bucknell for a 2:00 p.m. tipoff.

'Cultural Identity' and 'Belonging' are main themes that have always been close to him, along with the use of colour and juxtapostion. His reason for this is to show the art in an imperfection as he often found his mistakes were his best work. As a perfectionist he found the concept hard to grasp but now he has chosen to embrace it as he has come to realise it is these same imperfections in all of us that make us what we are.

If you can get past the annoying whistling (of the soldiers whistling a certain march, which is the movie's theme music), this David Lean epic is one of film's true masterpieces. William Holden stars as the tough, bitter Shears, who has been imprisoned in a POW camp for months when British colonel Alec Guinness and his troops are captured and sent to the camp. For me, this movie is one of the few large-scale epics I ever liked, mostly because it's not too corny and sentimental. Don't get me wrong…I like sentiment as much as the next gal but I prefer it in a romantic comedy or a melodrama. Corny romance and dialogue always seemed out of place, to me, in an epic. The one question I have, though, with the film is the ending. Not the finale—which ends with the train scene of all train scenes—but, rather just the second half of the film. After Holden's character escapes from the camp, he finds himself enjoying his freedom. When he is propositioned by superiors to take them back to the camp so they can bomb a bridge the Japanese are building (with the help of Guinness' soldiers), he reluctantly agrees. Reluctantly or not, I would never have agreed. We are told (through previous dialogue and through a montage of shots during the escape) that escaping the camp was an arduous ordeal and we already know that life inside the camp was hell. Nothing or no one would make me go back to hell once I got out, so I never really do get why Holden agrees. But, alas, if he didn't there would not be a movie. And what a great movie it is! And that's not just my opinion—ask the Academy. Winner of seven Oscars, including ones for Guinness and Lean.
Posts Tagged: David Lean
What can I say? Venice. Rossano Brazzi (tall, dark, handsome, and Italian) and summer. What more is there? Add into the already-perfect mix director David Lean and star Katharine Hepburn and what you end up with is simply magical. Summertime is a movie for everyone who has ever been in love, ever wanted to be in love or ever even thought of falling head of heels in bliss. Hepburn plays a single woman in the prime of her life (someone who might be derogatorily called an old maid or a spinster) who finally fulfills her dreams of venturing to Venice. While she loves the beauty of the city, she feels forlorn at seeing all of the couples enjoying the splendors of Venice together. Soon, she encounters a shop owner (played by Brazzi) who sweeps her off her feet, even though he has more than his fair share of secrets. Their love affair changes her life and her outlook on everything, especially Venice. Director Lean (best know for his sweeping epics including Lawrence of Arabia and The Bridge on the River Kwai) uses his mastery in both capturing the magnificence of Venice and the delicateness and wonder of a love affair. Once you watch this one, you might want to head to Venice and fall in love, so be prepared to call the airlines!

Would you touch a Green Cherry?
Subject: General Tech | March 8, 2013 - 02:29 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: cherry mx green, mechanical keyboard, model m, coolermaster, CM Storm Trigger
The Tech Report got their hands on a keyboard using a new type of Cherry MX switch, the CM Storm Trigger. This is a keyboard for the heavy handed, both the force required to actuate a key and the bottom out is significantly higher than any other Cherry switch as well as the venerable IBM Model M, especially the larger sized keys. That might be well received by those who find other keyboards to be spongy, or gamers who want the feel of a buckling spring on a better looking keyboard than the old IBM one. Check out the review to hear the keyboard in action.
"Cooler Master has released a keyboard based on a little-known mechanical key switch: the Cherry MX greens. We've compared this offering to an IBM Model M and another keyboard based on Cherry's more popular blue switches."

Sometimes hacks and mods are done to save you time and money or possibly both but other times you find yourself stuck in the position of Frak Zappa and cannot find a giraffe filled with whipped cream and have to make it yourself. Such is the case with this completely made custom keyboard described at Hack a Day, in which every part was either custom ordered or made by the designer themselves. None of the keys seem to be in their accustomed places and your thumbs will get a workout from all of those keys mounted in the centre of the board but for a programmer this could be the perfect design. It has taken over a year to build and likely cost more than a mass produced designed keyboard but if you want something done right ...
"[dmw] posted a pseudo-build log over at the geekhack keyboard forums. Every single part of this keyboard is custom-made. The key caps were made by Signature Plastics, the case was made by Shapeways, and the custom PCB for the key switches came directly from Express PCB. The key switches are blue Alps sliders (one of the best key switches available) with a few white Alps switches taken from an old Apple keyboard."

Securing Water for Sunbury Community Facilities
Sunbury, Victoria
Total funding: Total project cost of $518,000, with funding of $259,000 from the Australian Government under the National Water Security Plan for Cities and Towns and the remaining funding provided by Hume City Council.
About the project
Hume City Council is constructing a recycled water pipeline to the Goonawarra sports reserve to provide recycled water to the only remaining recreation reserve in Sunbury not yet on recycled water. The project also involves the installation of water tanks and associated plumbing to use recycled water for flushing toilets and watering gardens at five preschools and a children's centre.
Project benefits
This project will:
- reduce potable water use by 7.8 million litres each year
- reduce the amount of potable water used at the five preschool sites
- promote awareness of water conservation and water security in the long term management of active recreation to the community
- close the gap on the use of recycled water to irrigate all Sunbury's active sporting fields, and
- allow the reserve to continue to operate as a high priority reserve regardless of staged water restrictions.
The project commenced on 2 November 2010 and is scheduled for completion by 30 June 2012.

The Minnesota Wild have developed one of the best young core of prospects in the NHL.
That has all come in the last four years.
Before Chuck Fletcher took over as the team's general manager, the Wild had the weakest prospect pool in the league.
Fletcher is using a draft-and-develop philosophy in an attempt to make the Wild yearly Stanley Cup contenders.
Here are the 20th through 16th best players on the Wild roster that are under 25-years-old (ages are determined as of Oct. 1).
No. 20 – Defenseman Tyler Cuma
2012-13 team: Minnesota Wild (NHL) and Houston Aeros (AHL)
2012-13 statistics: 1 game played and 2 penalty minutes (Wild); 73 games played, 9 assists, -4 rating and 48 penalty minutes (Aeros).
The 22-year-old former first round draft pick has not made the transition to the professional ranks a smooth one. After nearly making the team as an 18-year-old, he has struggled with lengthy knee injuries. He still has a chance to be a solid stay-at-home defenseman. He relies on his positioning and hockey smarts. He can start a transition from defense to offense, but is not going to be a regular contributor in the offensive zone.
No. 19 – Defenseman John Draeger
2012-13 team: Shattuck-St. Mary's (High School)
2012-13 statistics: 57 games played, 11 goals, 30 assists and 36 penalty minutes.
The 18-year-old Edina native was the Wild's third round selection in this summer's draft. He is a smart, confident, puck moving defenseman. He is committed to play at Michigan State University, where head coach Tom Anastos believes his most important attributes is his work ethic and leadership skills. He will contribute offensively, but is not going to be an elite scorer. He has a lanky frame that could stand to add some good bulk.
No. 18 – Right Wing Carson McMillan
2012-13 team: Minnesota Wild (NHL) and Houston Aeros (AHL)
2012-13 statistics: 11 games played, 1 goal, 2 assists, 1 rating and 11 penalty minutes (Wild); 51 games played, 4 goals, 8 assists, -1 rating and 43 penalty minutes (Aeros).
The 23-year-old former seventh round draft pick is one of the best late round draft picks in team history. He is a strong two-way player with very good skating skills. He can play either wing or center and will contribute a little offensively. He has a strong work ethic that has helped him improve in one-on-one battles. He has the makings to be a very dependable role player on the third or fourth line.
No. 17 – Left Wing Raphael Bussieres
2012-13 team: Baie-Comeau Drakkar (QMJHL)
2012-13 statistics: 56 games played, 21 goals, 23 assists, -2 rating and 60 penalty minutes.
The 18-year-old Quebec was the second round selection of the Wild this summer's draft. He has strong two-way skills with high-end offensive potential. He skates and handles puck well while playing with an edge. He has no problem mixing it up; evidenced by the scrap he had with the Wild's first round pick Mathew Dumba at a top prospects game. He still needs to improve his consistency on both ends of the ice and skills away from the puck.
No. 16 – Left Wing Erik Haula
2012-13 team: Minnesota (WCHA)
2012-13 statistics: 43 games played, 20 goals, 29 assists and 30 penalty minutes.
The 21-year-old Finland native is one of the top players at the University of Minnesota. He is growing quite accustomed to State of Hockey. He played prep hockey at Shattuck-St. Mary's before joining the Golden Gophers. He is a highly skilled offensive player with quick and accurate shot. His best attribute is his passing ability. He still needs to improve his strength and defensive play.

Great Suit!
Adorable suit. Well made. Flattering. True to size. Kind of unique...I love it!
Very girly
I liked it but sent it back because it felt like lingerie more than swimwear. I also wasn't crazy about horizontal stripes on my curvy body. Nice suit though for the right bod!
Patti M.
Very Cute!!
I am a size 10 pants, and ordered a sz 10 swim suit. On the size chart, I was kind of all over the place - small bust, average waist, big hips... this is a little snug, but the next size would've been too big. I really love it. and it's very cute. Even my husband who doesn't compliment a lot said it looked great :)

Getting better at using keyboard shortcuts
Working with keyboard shortcuts is undoubtedly the most efficient way to get work done fast. While some keyboard shortcuts stick quite easily - mostly because they are common across applications - others are more difficult to remember.
The post by Macdrifter provides help by offering an easy way to pop-up a cheat sheet that reminds you of certain shortcuts until they stick. Whether you start from a Markdown file like Gabe or straight from a HTML, doesn't really matter. Using something like Keyboard Maestro, Alfred or Launchbar to call an Automator generated script will get the shortcuts you try to internalise in a blink of an eye.

August 4 2015 Latest news:
By Paul Geater
Saturday, October 13, 2012
A NEW tourist campaign branding Suffolk "The Curious County" has come under fire from four of the county's MPs.
Bury St Edmunds MP David Ruffley branded it as "Idiotic and meaningless, if not positively dangerous" – fearing it could put potential visitors off coming to the county.
And government minister and Central Suffolk MP Dr Dan Poulter said of the campaign: "It has got to be stopped!"
Suffolk Coastal's Dr Therese Coffey said: " 'Curious county' does not give a very clear message about Suffolk. It (the word curious) is often used as a euphemism for something that is not quite right!"
She hoped Visit East Anglia would be more clear about the attractions of Suffolk if it is to attract more new visitors to the county next year.
The slogan was unveiled by Visit Suffolk brand manager Amanda Bond during a conference for tourist industry professionals at the end of last month.
It is due to be the centrepiece of a campaign in 2013 and last month she said: "The Curious County is probably the most exciting, eccentric and innovative way we've ever decided to promote tourism in Suffolk."
However she said this week that the campaign was not yet ready to go live and that she could not comment further on it at present.
Mr Ruffley said: "There is great tourism potential in Suffolk. There is the coastal area in the east with wonderful beaches and on this side we have the wonderful historic town here, the Brecks, and Newmarket.
"There is nothing curious about what we have to offer. This slogan is idiotic and meaningless, if not potentially dangerous for the tourism industry."
Dr Poulter felt the slogan and logo failed to capture the essence of a county that had so much to offer visitors. He said: "It has got to be stopped. It is the sort of marketing slogan that could damage the county for years to come."
Waveney MP Peter Aldous said he found the slogan curious – if not the county itself.
He said: "At the party conference earlier this week I met people from Hoseasons and they said it was important to establish Suffolk as a brand – there is great tourist potential in the county.
"But I don't really understand the slogan, I'd say it was rather curious in itself!"
His views were backed up by county councillor responsible for planning Guy McGregor.
He said: "There is nothing curious about the attractions of Suffolk. There is nothing curious about our wonderful coast. There is nothing curious about the success of the Port of Felixstowe or about the horseracing industry at Newmarket.
"What is curious is the way that governments seem to have ignored the needs of the county over the years!"
There was some support for the slogan from Ipswich MP Ben Gummer who said Visit East Anglia was looking at new ways of promoting the county – Visit Suffolk is part of the Norfolk-based body which was set up after the demise of Choose Suffolk in 2011.
Mr Gummer said: "It is an organisation set up by tourist businesses which is looking at new ways of attracting business. The Curious County slogan is only one campaign it is looking at – and could attract new visitors who might otherwise not look at Suffolk."
Is Suffolk the "Curious County?" Is the campaign presenting the right image of our county? Write to Letters to the Editor, East Anglian Daily Times, 30 Lower Brook Street, Ipswich, IP4 1AN or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

Curious County - who on earth dreamt up that alliteration? Maybe someone with a chidlgrandchild, who around six years ago might have been watching a film "Curious George" - featuring what seemed to be monkey!. I believe there was even music.... what a thought. Check the web site, if you think I'm kidding.

@ima It might be good to tie John Peel in to this campaign as he was one of Suffolk's most notable residents. There is even a national day named in his honour, as well as some sort of youth club style thing in Stowmarket.
Monday, October 15, 2012
Wheres the john peel story ? Not publishing it ?
Saturday, October 13, 2012
Let's be honest, there is an air of "the land that time forgot" about Suffolk, particularly in the east. Some people are still having trouble coming to terms with the concepts of mains water and electricity.
Saturday, October 13, 2012
So does this campaign have political support or not? It would be curious if public money is being spent on something which has not been approved.
Sunday, October 14, 2012
Perhaps Amanda had in mind that curious oyster shell on the beach at Aldeburgh? Or the antics of those who run ITFC? (curiouser and curiouser.)
Saturday, October 13, 2012
Great idea. Maybe it could be tied in with a merchandising drive inviting people to "Buy Curious County" products. It could be a magnet for tourism and bring on all comers.
Sunday, October 14, 2012
So David Ruffey is an expert in Travel, Tourism and Marketing is he? Heh. Saying someone's idea is 'idiotic and meaningless' is just plain rude - learn some manners man. Anyone else think that MPs need to stop getting upset about silly things like this and focus on issues that really matter?
Sunday, October 14, 2012
Curiouser and curioser...
Sunday, October 14, 2012
The slogan for our fabulous county should be immediately amended to 'Sensational Suffolk', with three words to describe it; fresh, beautiful and rural.
Saturday, October 13, 2012
Following a recent story in one of our local comics, Suffolk should be called "The Pyramid County"; that will bring in a few Egyptologists.

(ABC 6 News) -- Many kids may dream of becoming an archeologist or even a rocket scientist. Thursday a group of Rochester students got a chance to be just that.
With rockets, bubbles, and a little fun in the dirt you could say the excitement was bubbling over at Riverside Elementary.
But these students aren't just having fun they are learning. "It's all about science, technology, engineering, and math, it's a really fun way for them to take a break from summer school," said future kindergartner teacher Katy Norris.
The week long Winona State University STEM camp is designed to show them that science can be exciting.
"We want them to get deeply engaged and have experiences that stick with them so that they continue on with it," said camp director Joel Traver.
All week the students have been learning the science behind each hands on activity.
The stations included digging like archeologists, building and launching rockets, and learning the chemistry behind bubbles so big you cam be swallowed in.
But these lesson's are not just for the students, many of the camp teachers are new teachers themselves.
"In the afternoon I have class, so it's been really challenging, but eye opening for sure," said Norris.
It was easy to see the students were having too much fun, to even notice they were learning.
"It's a lot of controlled chaos, but it's a lot of fun," said Traver.
This was the 4th year WSU has held the STEM camp. More than 200 students came out for it this year.

Next: Memory Usage, Previous: Error reporting, Up: BFD front end
long bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound (bfd *abfd, asection *sect);
Return the number of bytes required to store the relocation information associated with section sect attached to bfd abfd. If an error occurs, return -1.
long bfd_canonicalize_reloc (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, arelent **loc, asymbol **syms);
Call the back end associated with the open BFD abfd and translate the external form of the relocation information attached to sec into the internal canonical form. Place the table into memory at loc, which has been preallocated, usually by a call to
bfd_get_reloc_upper_bound. Returns the number of relocs, or
-1 on error.
The syms table is also needed for horrible internal magic reasons.
void bfd_set_reloc (bfd *abfd, asection *sec, arelent **rel, unsigned int count);
Set the relocation pointer and count within section sec to the values rel and count. The argument abfd is ignored.
bfd_boolean bfd_set_file_flags (bfd *abfd, flagword flags);
Set the flag word in the BFD abfd to the value flags.
Possible errors are:
bfd_error_wrong_format - The target bfd was not of object format.
bfd_error_invalid_operation - The target bfd was open for reading.
bfd_error_invalid_operation -
The flag word contained a bit which was not applicable to the
type of file. E.g., an attempt was made to set the
D_PAGED bit
on a BFD format which does not support demand paging.
int bfd_get_arch_size (bfd *abfd);
Returns the normalized architecture address size, in bits, as determined by the object file's format. By normalized, we mean either 32 or 64. For ELF, this information is included in the header. Use bfd_arch_bits_per_address for number of bits in the architecture address.
Returns the arch size in bits if known,
-1 otherwise.
int bfd_get_sign_extend_vma (bfd *abfd);
Indicates if the target architecture "naturally" sign extends an address. Some architectures implicitly sign extend address values when they are converted to types larger than the size of an address. For instance, bfd_get_start_address() will return an address sign extended to fill a bfd_vma when this is the case.
1 if the target architecture is known to sign
extend addresses,
0 if the target architecture is known to
not sign extend addresses, and
-1 otherwise.
bfd_boolean bfd_set_start_address (bfd *abfd, bfd_vma vma);
Make vma the entry point of output BFD abfd.
TRUE on success,
FALSE otherwise.
unsigned int bfd_get_gp_size (bfd *abfd);
Return the maximum size of objects to be optimized using the GP register under MIPS ECOFF. This is typically set by the
argument to the compiler, assembler or linker.
void bfd_set_gp_size (bfd *abfd, unsigned int i);
Set the maximum size of objects to be optimized using the GP register under ECOFF or MIPS ELF. This is typically set by the
-G argument to the compiler, assembler or linker.
bfd_vma bfd_scan_vma (const char *string, const char **end, int base);
Convert, like
strtoul, a numerical expression
string into a
bfd_vma integer, and return that integer.
(Though without as many bells and whistles as
The expression is assumed to be unsigned (i.e., positive).
If given a base, it is used as the base for conversion.
A base of 0 causes the function to interpret the string
in hex if a leading "0x" or "0X" is found, otherwise
in octal if a leading zero is found, otherwise in decimal.
If the value would overflow, the maximum
bfd_vma value is
bfd_boolean bfd_copy_private_header_data (bfd *ibfd, bfd *obfd);
Copy private BFD header information from the BFD ibfd to the the BFD obfd. This copies information that may require sections to exist, but does not require symbol tables. Return
true on success,
false on error.
Possible error returns are:
bfd_error_no_memory -
Not enough memory exists to create private data for obfd.
#define bfd_copy_private_header_data(ibfd, obfd) \ BFD_SEND (obfd, _bfd_copy_private_header_data, \ (ibfd, obfd))
bfd_boolean bfd_copy_private_bfd_data (bfd *ibfd, bfd *obfd);
Copy private BFD information from the BFD ibfd to the the BFD obfd. Return
TRUE on success,
FALSE on error.
Possible error returns are:
bfd_error_no_memory -
Not enough memory exists to create private data for obfd.
#define bfd_copy_private_bfd_data(ibfd, obfd) \ BFD_SEND (obfd, _bfd_copy_private_bfd_data, \ (ibfd, obfd))
bfd_boolean bfd_merge_private_bfd_data (bfd *ibfd, bfd *obfd);
Merge private BFD information from the BFD ibfd to the the output file BFD obfd when linking. Return
on success,
FALSE on error. Possible error returns are:
bfd_error_no_memory -
Not enough memory exists to create private data for obfd.
#define bfd_merge_private_bfd_data(ibfd, obfd) \ BFD_SEND (obfd, _bfd_merge_private_bfd_data, \ (ibfd, obfd))
bfd_boolean bfd_set_private_flags (bfd *abfd, flagword flags);
Set private BFD flag information in the BFD abfd. Return
TRUE on success,
FALSE on error. Possible error
returns are:
bfd_error_no_memory -

When more than one machine code number is available for the same machine type, this function can be used to switch between the preferred one (alternative == 0) and any others. Currently, only ELF supports this feature, with up to two alternate machine codes.
bfd_vma bfd_emul_get_maxpagesize (const char *);
Returns the maximum page size, in bytes, as determined by emulation.
Returns the maximum page size in bytes for ELF, 0 otherwise.
void bfd_emul_set_maxpagesize (const char *, bfd_vma);
For ELF, set the maximum page size for the emulation. It is a no-op for other formats.

Returns the common page size, in bytes, as determined by emulation.
Returns the common page size in bytes for ELF, 0 otherwise.
void bfd_emul_set_commonpagesize (const char *, bfd_vma);
For ELF, set the common page size for the emulation. It is a no-op for other formats.
char *bfd_demangle (bfd *, const char *, int);
Wrapper around cplus_demangle. Strips leading underscores and other such chars that would otherwise confuse the demangler. If passed a g++ v3 ABI mangled name, returns a buffer allocated with malloc holding the demangled name. Returns NULL otherwise and on memory alloc failure.
struct bfd_iovec
struct bfd_iovec contains the internal file I/O class.
BFD has an instance of this class and all file I/O is
routed through it (it is assumed that the instance implements
all methods listed below).

file_ptr bfd_get_size (bfd *abfd);
Return the file size (as read from file system) for the file associated with BFD abfd.
The initial motivation for, and use of, this routine is not so we can get the exact size of the object the BFD applies to, since that might not be generally possible (archive members for example). It would be ideal if someone could eventually modify it so that such results were guaranteed.
Instead, we want to ask questions like "is this NNN byte sized
object I'm about to try read from file offset YYY reasonable?"
As as example of where we might do this, some object formats
use string tables for which the first
sizeof (long) bytes of the
table contain the size of the table itself, including the size bytes.
If an application tries to read what it thinks is one of these
string tables, without some way to validate the size, and for
some reason the size is wrong (byte swapping error, wrong location
for the string table, etc.), the only clue is likely to be a read
error when it tries to read the table, or a "virtual memory
exhausted" error when it tries to allocate 15 bazillon bytes
of space for the 15 bazillon byte table it is about to read.
This function at least allows us to answer the question, "is the
size reasonable?".
void *bfd_mmap (bfd *abfd, void *addr, bfd_size_type len, int prot, int flags, file_ptr offset, void **map_addr, bfd_size_type *map_len);
Return mmap()ed region of the file, if possible and implemented. LEN and OFFSET do not need to be page aligned. The page aligned address and length are written to MAP_ADDR and MAP_LEN.
