A peculiar melange of hippies and homeboys alike, Texas' capital isn't just a destination for cowboys and college students. With down-home southern cooking abound, cheap beer, and a live music scene rivaling that of L.A. and New York (festivities like Austin City Limits and South by Southwest help inordinately), Austin is still somewhat of a gem preserved in the heart of the Hill Country.
At any given time, there's something happening that's altogether strange and wonderful. You might strike up a conversation with Britt Daniel spontaneously on your way to a co-op party, or indulge in some of the finest people-watching you've ever dreamed of on dirty Sixth Street.
Here we've put together a guide to Austin's exceptional dives, from where to find the best late-night bacon-covered doughnut to the city's finest spicy tacos, and everything in between. Sure, you've heard that everything's bigger in Texas — that includes the lust for life, leisure, and live music.

Does a Super "Diet Pill" Exist?
Like Superman and the Loch Ness Monster, super "diet pills" are considered to be nothing more than a myth by many people. They point to the fallout that occurred from so-called "miracle" diet products like Fen-Phen, the drug that became a weight-loss craze in the '90s. Tens of thousands of people tried it (an article in Time magazine stated, "doctors are writing 85,000 prescriptions a week" for it), but it was pulled off the market in 1997 due to health risks.
Ephedra-based products, like the patented ECA Stack, were also hugely popular during the 1990s and early twenty-first century. These ephedra products became a staple for thousands of people trying to lose weight who swore by them, but despite their effectiveness they were banned by the U.S. government in 2004.
After that, most people gave up on the idea of ever finding a super "diet pill"… until now. Recently, the weight-loss market has seen an influx of a new class of diet pill reminiscent of Fen-Phen and ECA Stack… but without ephedra or the dangerous compounds used in Fen-Phen. These supplements are highly effective, extremely powerful, and have gained a "cult-like" following among bodybuilders and fitness freaks.
The most popular of these super-powerful "diet pills" is called BiphedAdrene™. It's a two-part product designed to address not only appetite control and fat burning, but to give users a mood-elevation boost similar to that experienced by ephedra users of almost a decade ago.
Although bodybuilders were the first to begin using these types of supplements, it wasn't long before they started gaining notoriety among college students looking for a burst of energy. And, believe it or not, many exhausted, stressed-out "soccer moms" are also snatching up products like BiphedAdrene. Why? A spokesperson for Generix Labs™, the company that manufactures BiphedAdrene, believes it's because of the mood-elevation, energy-boosting properties of these compounds. The spokesperson says, "One of the things we often heard as we made a study of the weight-loss market is that people missed the mood-elevation and boost of energy that were 'side effects,' if you will, of the Fen-Phen and ephedra class of diet pills… These new non-amphetamine compounds provide not only very substantial weight loss, but also a similar mood and energy boost."
So how do they work? Well, the company tells us that BiphedAdrene contains a "Complex Phenylethylamine Provisional," which is a fancy term for a compound with powerful, amphetamine-like properties for appetite control, mood elevation and energy. BiphedAdrene's effectiveness is boosted further with the addition of an aggressive thermogenic compound designed to address fat burning and stamina.
"Super pills" like BiphedAdrene are definitely effective, but not everyone can use them. They're designed for the significantly overweight, so if you're just looking to lose 5 or 6 "vanity" pounds they're definitely not for you. But if you have a serious amount of weight to lose, this new category of diet pills may be just what you need. Make sure you check with your doctor before taking one, however. They're strong enough that you need to make sure you're in overall good health before using one as part of your weight-loss program.

East Tennessee State coach Murry Bartow says he won't be surprised by anything that happens the first two months of the basketball season.
That includes the close call against Carson-Newman in the exhibition last Saturday. The Bucs led by 17 midway through the second half but found themselves hanging on for dear life at the end against a Division II team they beat by 30 a year earlier. They scored the last six points to win 71-63.
After a few days to digest it, Bartow was sticking to the script.
"November and December, nothing will surprise me," he said Wednesday. "I think we'll have some good moments and some tough moments. My hope is we'll eventually be good enough to win our league, play really well in January and February. We just have to keep grinding."
The grind officially begins Saturday at Virginia Tech, a team picked to finish 10th in the Atlantic Coast Conference under first-year head coach James Johnson. Tipoff is 2 o'clock.
Bartow will likely shuffle his starting lineup as the Bucs open in Blacksburg for the second straight year. Against the Eagles, he went with senior guards Sheldon Cooley and Marcus Dubose, junior-college transfers Hunter Harris and Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard, and sophomore John Walton.
There's a good chance Petey McClain could take over at point guard. The freshman had seven points and four assists in 24 minutes off the bench against Carson-Newman, and there's the thought that if he's going to be running the team for four years, he might as well start now.
"I don't want to go too far too quick," said Bartow, "but Petey is really good. There's a lot of risk-reward with a high-octane point guard, especially a freshman, and we've got to live with some of that. It's not easy."
Lester Wilson, the redshirt freshman from Knoxville, could also find a starting spot. He led the Bucs with 17 points on Saturday, including eight in the last two minutes.
"Lester has a lot of offensive skills," said Bartow. "Number one, he can really shoot. Every time we've played, in scrimmages and the exhibition the other night, he's shown he's one of our best scorers. Defensively, he still has some issues."
A couple of the starters had offensive issues on Saturday. Dubose went 1 of 12 from the field, and Gadsden-Gilliard attempted only two shots in 25 minutes. Also, Harris was 2 of 7.
Bartow wouldn't necessarily describe his team's 38 percent shooting, with 21 turnovers, as a chemistry issue -- a product of throwing a bunch of newcomers together for the first time.
"I don't think it's chemistry. This team is incredibly coachable and has good chemistry," he said. "It's just a lack of experience. When you're young and inexperienced, you're going to make a lot of mistakes.
"We were able to make mistakes and win against Carson-Newman. If we were playing Virginia Tech, we're going to lose that game by 20. They would have exploited more of those mistakes."
The ETSU women may have found a point guard for the long haul.
Freshman Brianna McQueen, all 5-foot-3 of her, started both exhibitions and scored in double figures in each. McQueen was a Class 4A all-stater at Jonesboro, Ga., and averaged 26 points a game as a senior.
The immediate concern for coach Karen Kemp may be getting the youngster to slow down a bit. McQueen had seven turnovers against Carson-Newman and five against Young Harris.
The Lady Bucs tip off their season Friday night at High Point.
The last weekend of the volleyball regular season is at hand.
The Bucs visit North Florida on Friday night and Jacksonville on Saturday. They have won four straight matches, including an upset of previously unbeaten Florida Gulf Coast, and eight of 10 to improve to 20-10 on the season.
At 11-5 in conference, they can lock up the No. 3 seed for the tournament. FGC (15-1) and three-time defending champion Lipscomb (14-2) hold the top two spots, and Northern Kentucky (10-6) is fourth.
The tournament begins Nov. 15 at Lipscomb.
Adam Chase and Andres Ludvigsen were named to the A-Sun cross country all-academic team on Wednesday.
Chase, a sophomore from Kingsport, carries a 4.00 GPA in mathematics and was one of two unanimous choices. He earned second-team all-conference honors last month with a 13th-place finish at the A-Sun meet in Ft. Myers, Fla.
Ludvigsen, a junior from Denmark, is a pre-business major with a 3.71 GPA. He was 15th at the conference meet, helping the Bucs to a second-place finish.

25 Shouts - 10,482 Scrobbles
Im Nebel can refer to two bands: 1) Georgian band Im Nebel was started as project in 2004 by Sergiy Ermolaev and Michael Lenz.
Initially idea tended to be the project,which was just an experiment, but later transformed into a more general concept, which is called "band". Initial Im Nebel was consisted of Michael Lenz (guitars), Sergiy Ermolaev (bass) and Dima Mazmanov (drums).
Band lacked of melodiousness, as well as three instruments could not create the desired atmosphere. By joining Helen Chobanyan (keyboards) and Vaso Doiashvili (vocals) Im Nebel fully formed in 2006 year.

Recently, I read an article about a dog park that charged a fee and although I don't think a place like this would work for us, because Rodrigo wants to dominate, I wonder if charging a fee to belong to a park would benefit dog owners who just want to go to a place and watch their dogs have fun and connect with dog parents.
The common complaints I hear about dog parks are…
- Aggressive dogs and/or dog owners
- Dog owners aren't picking up after their dogs
- Dog owners who bring toys and get angry when other dogs want to play
- Dog owners who bring small children
- Dog owners who bring sick and/or unvaccinated dogs
The benefits of a dog park are…
- An opportunity for our dogs to be dogs and have fun
- Meeting neighborhood dog owners and making friends
- Getting out of the house, switching up the dog walk routine, and new training opportunities
I reached out to see how common fee-based dog parks are and only received one response, but now know about 3 parks…
Friends of Orianna Hill Park is one. They charge $50/year (per dog) and Suz, who told me about the park, mentioned that they received a price break on their second dog, making it more affordable. "The main benefits for us is that it is an enclosed, safe area where all the member dogs must ascribe to a certain code such as must be neutered, cannot wear the spike collars, and must not be aggressive toward other dogs (or people). Dogs (and their owners) violating these rules are expelled from the park and membership until they can certify they now comply. It makes the park environment more pleasant."
Every quarterly, this park requires members to attend a meet-up to help clean up the park. I've seen this in our local dog parks, but the attendance is spotty. I wonder if more people would show up if they're paying for it; once you make an investment, you want to see that investment pay off.
The Rules…
I was curious to know what the rules of this type of park would be and visited the site to see and was impressed that the rules mirror many of our complaints about dog parks – here are the highlights
- All dogs must wear tags (issued by the dog park)
- All dogs mush wear name tags
- No prong or pinch collars allowed
- Never leave your dog unattended
- If your dog behaves aggressively towards another human or dog, you must leave immediately
- Dog park attendees may not bring more than 3 dogs to the park at a time
- No visiting dogs
- Dog park attendees must be 18 years or older if they are without adult supervision
- Clean up after your dog immediately
- No dogs younger than 4 months old
- No dogs with a history of aggression
Although this is absolutely fantastic, a fee based dog park isn't responsible should our dogs get injured, something that this park makes clear on the site. Speaking with others about their park – the fee seems to attract the responsible dog owners and repel dog owners not interested in cleaning up after their dogs or monitoring their dogs – two situations which seem to be the source of many of our Dog Park Pet Peeves.
So what do you think? Would you consider a fee based dog park?

x86 is a term used to describe a CPU instruction set compatible with the Intel 8086 and its successors, including the Pentium, Core 2, Core i7, Athlon, Opteron, Sempron, and Phenom. This is the CPU architecture used in most desktop and laptop computers. More recently, workstations and servers have also standardized on x86 processors. In 1985, the original 16-bit x86 architecture was extended to 32 bits with the introduction of the i386 processor. It was extended again to 64 bits in 2003 with the introduction of the AMD Opteron processor. Intel later adopted the 64-bit architecture in 2004 with the later versions of the Prescott Pentium 4. The different versions are backward-compatible, meaning that a 32-bit x86 CPU can run a 32 or 16-bit operating system, and a 64-bit x86 CPU can run a 16, 32, or 64-bit operating system. All x86 CPUs (with the rare exception of some Intel CPUs used in embedded systems) start in 16-bit real mode. A modern operating system (or sometimes the bootloader) switches the CPU into 32-bit protected mode or 64-bit long mode before booting the kernel.

Kia Ora, welcome to Stewart Island
To all our visitors, whether from New Zealand or further afield, our Island offers a special experience - a glimpse into a simpler, slower lifestyle, in rhythm with the sea and the tides, attuned to the natural world of bush and beach.
In 2002 the very qualities that make this a great place to treasure were recognised in the formation of the Rakiura National Park, comprising 85% of the island's 1570 square kilometres.
We who live here permanently value the Island's special qualities - its clear, clean waters, the lush rainforest, sweeping sands, flora and fauna and the unspoilt natural beauty that are constant in our lives.
Whether you have come to enjoy the land and seascapes, view the wildlife, walk, boat, fish, dive, kayak, hunt or just relax, a Stewart Island holiday will be an experience that will draw you back here again and again.

Some designers have taken the rise of broadband to mean that graphic intensive pages are now acceptable, that 600k Flash intros are suddenly desirable, and that otherwise bombarding the user with bandwidth-hungry sites is commendable. Sadly, plenty of users are still on dial-up, using 28k, 33.6k or 56k modems, and it's all too easy to forget that when you're surfing on a high speed office connection or even your home broadband.
This guy has made available a throttled proxy, to allow you to experience what it would be like to view your site on various dialup speeds.

Lovelace Westside Hospital is now more kid-friendly.
A renovated emergency department opened Friday.
There's now four private exam rooms created especially for children under 17.
There's a penguin theme designed on the walls, along with flat screen TVs in the waiting area, even chalkboards and toys.
The idea is to make the kids feel at ease while they're there.
Farron Sneed, the CEO of Lovelace Westside said, "It makes the experience a little easier for the parents too, where their kids aren't anticipating what's going on with their illness and seeing a doctor."
The renovation took three months to complete.

The Green Wave baseball team won its fifth straight region game in front of a packed house Friday.
Im very pleased with the crowds we are getting, Summerville coach Alan Bridges said. These are exciting times for us. We have a new facility and people are coming out and enjoying the games. Its good to see people supporting our program.
Summerville has been among the states top-ranked teams all season and rose to the No. 2 ranked Class AAAA team behind Sumter in the coaches association poll released March 24. On April 2 a large group of Ashley Ridge supporters joined the Summerville faithful at the Green Waves newly renovated stadium, and on Friday Fort Dorchester brought a large group of supporters to the Patriots game at Summerville High School. Neither visiting team managed the upset they were hoping for.
Summervilles Zach Mosay (4-0) struck out 10 batters as the Green Wave earned a 9-5 win over Fort Dorchester to improve to 10-2 with a 5-0 mark in Region 8-AAAA.
Once Zach settled in he pitched well, Bridges said. He is always going to be around the plate so he is our go to guy. We hit the ball and got base runners in which is something we struggled with the other night. We jumped out on them early but in the fourth inning we let things fall apart. We had some errors and they scored five runs. The good thing is we scored two runs in the bottom of that inning.
Corey Rawlings (4-2) took the loss for Fort Dorchester, which dropped to 8-4 with a 3-2 mark in region play.
We out hit them 8 to 6, but we had twice the errors, Fort Dorchester coach Jack Radcliffe said. Im proud of the way Corey battled on the mound and he went 2 for 3 at the plate. I thought Mosay pitched well and TJ Hopkins also had a fine game for Summerville.
Hopkins was 2 for 4 at the plate. Jack Bahen was 2 for 3 and Johnston McCurry had three RBIs.
Summerville went up 6-0 in the bottom of the second, but the Fort scored 5 runs in the top of the fourth to pull within a run.
The Patriots thought they had tied the game, but their celebration was cut short when the umpire ruled a runner sliding into home was tagged before he scored. After the dust settled, Radcliffe was left thinking about what could have been.
I felt my player slid under and around the tag, Radcliffe said. That run would have tied the game, given us the momentum and we would still have had runners on base with Eurndraus Bryant up to bat. After that my kids didnt handle the adversity well at all. They let their emotions get the best of them. We had three of our four errors following that and Summerville scored two more unearned runs.
Summerville added a run in the sixth to push the lead to 4.
The game isnt always rainbows and roses, Radcliffe said. Baseball is a game of failure, and its the teams that overcome the bad breaks and the adversity that usually end up on top. When we can learn to deal with setbacks and learn to battle back then we will be a pretty darn good team. Were close, but not there yet.
Summerville hosts Beaufort Wednesday and Bluffton Friday. Fort Dorchester hosts Ashley Ridge Wednesday and travels to Colleton County Friday.

When I was pregnant with #3 I had similar panic, and started obsessing about sewing anything and everything I could. I admit, I went kinda nuts. BUT -- it helped me to re-realize (is that a word?) that sewing is the KEY to my sanity! #3 is 6 months old now, and I am still snitching a few minutes here and there to sew. I literally get SUPER CRABBY when I haven't sewn in a day or two! It's my lifeline!

You will still sew! You must still sew!Carehttp://email@example.com

Okay, now that I'm thinking about this, I'm flashing on more details. A couple of tidbits came back to me about the CM in the sentry guard outfit. I remember him telling us how restrictive the costume was and demonstrating by trying to flex his knees. They didn't bend much. Second, I remember looking closely at the "holster," which was really just a sort of flat, right-angled hook to rest those double-barreled guns on. (To my memory, he didn't have the guns on him. I'm not sure if the CMs were ever given those, but I don't recall ever seeing one up close, so I doubt it.)
Note to RegionsBeyond: As noted above, I can corroborate the sentries and humanoids wandering around the park. As for them just being in Tomorrowland, I honestly don't remember. That's certainly reasonable.
indydisneyfan: Did the display you're talking about have the full-size figures of the robots? If so, we must be remembering the same thing.
I wonder what happened to the full-size figures. I've seen photos of miniatures at Comicon a few years ago, but I can't find anything about the full size versions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 2002 Jan. 1 will be a special day for service members and their families. That's when they'll start seeing more Basic Allowance for Housing money in their paychecks, according to DoD's director of compensation.
Navy Capt. Chris Kopang said the allowance is aimed at reducing out-of- pocket housing expenses. For service members with dependents, increases in the allowance range from 1 percent to 27 percent by grade with a typical increase of about 8 percent.
Two forms of protection are built into the system -- individual and geographic, Kopang noted. "Individual rate protection means that even though housing costs may go down in a particular area, no one is going to receive a lower BAH (than before)," he said. "So this protects the member who has a long-term lease or contract and is assigned to an area where housing costs go down."
The geographic rate protection prevents new members who come into an area from getting a lower or higher rate than those already there.
"We don't want to create a morale problem," Kopang said.
"DoD started a five-year plan in 2000 to reduce out-of-pocket expenses to zero by 2005," Kopang explained. "We're on track with that. For January 2003, the average member will have out-of-pocket expenses of around 7.5 percent. Next year, they'll go down to about 3.5 percent."
When then-Defense Secretary William Cohen announced DoD's plan in January 2000, he noted that service members living off base were required by law to pay at least 15 percent of their housing costs out of pocket.
"On one hand, if you're on base, your housing and your utilities are all paid for," Cohen said. "On the other hand, if you're off base, you pick up 15 percent at a minimum, and as much as 19 percent currently. We've got a real disparity there."
BAH will not cover all of all members housing expenses, he said. Kopang explained that DoD hired a contractor who surveys more than 350 military housing areas across the country looking at six different housing profiles. This includes one- and two-bedroom apartments, two- and three-bedroom town homes, three- and four-bedroom single-family homes. The contractor surveys the median prices to rent those types of dwellings throughout the country.
Members then receive a housing allowance appropriate to the housing profile that comes with their particular pay grade. For example, Kopang said, a private doesn't get a four-bedroom single-family house. Married privates are assumed to rent two-bedroom apartments. E-5s can get two- or three-bedroom town homes, depending on the size of their families.
Not everyone would always have his or her housing expenses paid for completely. That depends on what and where a member actually chooses to rent.
BAH is based on members' duty stations, with some exceptions, he noted. "For example, I have two O-5s who work in my office," he said. "One chooses to rent an apartment in town and the other drives to Stafford, Va., about 40 miles south of Washington. Both of them get the same amount of housing allowance. Obviously, one person decided to purchase a home and has taken on the commute."
BAH is based on a calendar year, so paychecks will show a big pay increase on Jan. 15. "Not only reflecting the increase in basic pay, but also the increase in BAH," Kopang noted.
The computations include rent and the cost of utilities, which include electricity, water, sewage, gas and renters insurance. Rent is the driving factor in the computations. "Interest rates are fairly low across the country, so a lot of members choose to buy a home, but that doesn't mean they get more BAH," he said. "The BAH is based on the pay grade and the location where the member works."
Kopang pointed out that the methodology for determining overseas housing allowance, or OHA, is a little different from BAH. Instead of using a contractor, the computations are made by DoD's Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee. The committee surveys service members twice a year to find out what type of housing they're renting and the costs.
OHA is paid to service members who live in privately leased housing at their overseas duty station. Residents of government-leased housing don't receive OHA. The allowance consists of two parts, the rent portion and the utility and recurring maintenance portion.
The rent portion is computed on the actual rent up to a ceiling based on the service member's rank and whether accompanied or unaccompanied. The ceiling for unaccompanied members is 90 percent of the accompanied amount.
OHA covers 100 percent of rental expenses for 80 percent of service members within each pay grade. However, if the rent ceiling is $750 and the service member's rent is $800, the member's out-of-pocket cost is $50.
The BAH for service members who go on unaccompanied tours and leave their family behind is based on where the family lives.
Kopang noted that a targeted pay raise goes into effect Jan. 1. "Minimum pay raise for all members is at least 4.1 percent," he emphasized. "However, mid-grade and senior NCOs, as well as O-3s and O- 4s, will receive between 5 and 6.5 percent, depending upon their particular grade and years of service. The senior NCOS get a little bit better than that -- E-9s get between 6 and 6.5 percent. Overall, the average pay raise for fiscal 2003 is around 4.7 percent.
"We've made a significant improvement in fiscal 2002 and 2003 pay raises, but we still have some to go for our mid-grade and senior NCOs," he said.
The Navy captain pointed out the fiscal 2003 defense budget includes the new "assignment incentive pay," a Navy brainchild.
"The services are allowed to pay up to $1,500 per month to individuals to go to selected duty assignments that are hard to fill -- undesirable," Kopang said. "The Navy is the only service to put any money against this right now. But the Army and Air Force are also looking at it, too.
"This is the newest thing in compensation, but the services have yet to determine where they're going to pay this," he concluded.

Full detailed profile on Starr Manning Played by Kristen Alderson on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
(ABC/Donna Svennevik)
Birthday: 1991-05-29
Starr arrives at Markko and Langston's in California. After they reconnect Starr sees some mementos from high school. Langton and Markko were remembering Cole. Starr has something to tell them. She thinks Cole would want them to know. They are stunned to hear Cole's alive and with his parents. Starr knows she may never see Cole again but is glad he's safe and with his family. While Markko takes a call, Starr and Langston talk about Ford. Langston's happy he found a family in Jessica and Ryder. A man, sent by Todd, arrives and introduces Starr to her bodyguard. "Nice to meet you, Miss Manning," Cole says. She rushes into his arms and ushers him in to see their friends. Cole shares that Patrick is alive and Marty's doing better. Cole's now where he belongs, with his family… Starr and Hope.
Starr enters the mansion and stuns the family by announcing, "I'm moving to Los Angeles." Her video went viral. This may be the only chance for Starr to follow her dream. She wants support from Addie, Dani, Jack, Sam, Tea, Todd and Blair. "Over my dead body," Todd replies. He just found her again and refuses to lose Starr. She insists on standing on her own. Blair agrees and says, "She's not our baby anymore." Adding to their heavy hearts, everyone watches "Fraternity Row." After the show, Sam wonders what a sex change is. Blair deters Sam, as Todd finally agrees to let Starr leave. When Todd warns he'll expect her calls often, Tea whispers, "Only as many as Statesville allows." Starr hugs everyone goodbye then leaves with Hope. Blair can hardly control her tears. Later, Todd offers to give Blair time alone. She asks him to stay, and they sadly wish Starr didn't go. Todd let her go because it's her time. As he breaks down, Blair finally sees he's the new man he's been claiming to be. Now, there's nothing holding Blair back. "If you want me," Blair says. "I'm yours." Todd kisses Blair.
At his apartment, James tells Starr they're over. He heard Starr tell Cole she still loves him. Starr reminds James that Cole was dying. James shares in her grief and brings up Ford. He can't deny the way Starr was looking at Cole and doesn't think she'll ever feel that way about him. Starr professes her love. "As much as you love Cole?" he asks. Starr apologizes and knows James is right. She rushes into James' arms and cries, "I'm going to miss you so much. I'm sorry." James never meant to make her cry and sobs, "I'll never forget you, Twinkle." She'll never forget him either. Knowing James wants a clean break, Starr leaves.
Rick finds Starr outside the mansion. He's sorry about the death of her baby daddy and hugs Starr for being a PR goldmine. She can't believe the nerve of Rick. He has news. After Rick explains, he urges Starr to give him an answer by tomorrow. It's time to start a new chapter in her life.
At the mansion, Starr looks at The Sun with a headline reading: R.I.P. Cole Thornhart. Todd appears and holds Starr close. Dani arrives. She can't believe Hannah killed Cole. "Cole's alive," Starr replies. Todd warns Starr to stay quiet then agrees to let Dani in on the details. After he leaves the girls alone, Starr explains that Cole survived and was going to be transferred back to Statesville. She recalls telling Blair that Patrick was alive, and with Marty, and how Cole needed to be with his parents. Blair thought Cole needed to serve his time for killing Eli. Starr played the Irene card - Todd killed someone and wasn't in jail. She continues to explain how she begged Blair and Todd to help save Cole's life. She was able to tell Cole that Todd was going to help him be with Patrick again. In order for their plan to work, they had to make everyone believe Cole had died. Starr promised Cole he would see her and Hope again one day. She told Cole she loved him then Todd took him away. Todd would only tell Starr that Cole is now with Patrick and Marty. Dani wonders where James fits into Starr's life. Starr isn't sure but wants to be there for James. The girls leave, with Starr hoping to one day see Cole again.
James throws an issue of The Sun across his apartment, as he remembers Starr vowing to never stop loving Cole. Nate arrives, in tears, as James says, "Bobbie died a hero." Nate explains that their mother is making the funeral arrangements and feels awful for leaving Ford and James when they were young. James breaks down and explains everything leading up to Ford's death. He admits to overhearing Starr professing her love to Cole. When Starr and Dani arrive, Nate leads Dani out of the apartment. James tells Starr they're over.
As the doctors work on Cole in the hospital, Luna appears. Cole's spirit rises from his body. He takes Luna's hand and leaves with her. Starr pleads with the doctor for an update, as Cole realizes Luna's dead and wonders if he is too. She only says they're somewhere between Heaven and Hell. Luna comforts him when Cole starts talking about how much he's hurt Starr and Hope. Maybe he's better off dead. A set of doors open abruptly. Luna urges Cole to listen carefully. He hears Starr… Back in the hospital, Starr pleads with Cole to fight, to come back to her and Hope. James appears just as Starr admits she never stopped loving Cole and never plans to.
In another area of the hospital, Jessica and James await news on Ford. Jessica wonders if James found Starr. James only wants to concentrate on Ford right now. They never see the hooded figure carrying Ford's spirit away. In a darkened room, Eddie reveals himself to his son. Ford thinks he's dreaming and wants to get back to Jessica. Eddie opens a door and exposes flames, claiming they're in Hell. Ford rants at his father and calls Eddie a rapist. Eddie reminds Ford he didn't rape Nora, unlike what Ford did to Jessica. Ford knows Jessica forgave him. They have a son now. After Ford pushes Eddie into the flames of hell, he runs through a set of doors, sees Luna and asks, "Will you help me?" As Luna, Megan and Gabrielle watch from afar, Ford and Cole's family and friends gather in the waiting area of the hospital. A doctor appears, as Luna admits, "I could only save one."
Blair arrives at the mansion just as Cole is shot. Starr rushes to Cole, as James holds a gun on Hannah. Blair wonders what's going on, but Todd insists they get the car. Hannah screams her regret to Cole. She only wanted to hurt Starr! Starr slugs Hannah in the face. James, Blair and Starr take Cole to the hospital, while Todd stands behind and tells Hannah, "Maybe I'll kill you." He admits it wouldn't be the first time he killed someone. Hannah heard about Todd killing his mother, who shot Todd first. That doesn't count. Todd uses Hannah as a sounding board. She's bananas, no one would believe Hannah if he told her… Todd remembers killing Victor. Just as Todd's ready to confess, the cops arrive for Hannah. She calls Todd a murderer, but the cops take her away. Todd smirks.
Blair, James and Starr rush Cole into the hospital. The doctor looks worried and orders a hysterical Starr out of the exam room. Blair takes Starr to the chapel. Starr explains how everything went down. Cole saved her and Sam's life. "What if he dies?" Starr cries. "A world without Cole doesn't make sense." Starr can't live without Cole. At Blair's persistence, Starr starts to pray then sings "You Only Have One Life To Live." Blair steps out into the hall and cries. Todd appears and holds her. Back out in the ER, James is stunned when Ford's rushed in with Jessica by his side.

As of Saturday, August 3, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO — Arts Clayton Executive Director Linda Summerlin was a bit modest about people seeing the naked "man" standing in the middle of her organization's gallery Wednesday.
She stood in front of him with Gallery Manager Teri Williamson and Gallery Assistant Courtney Hurst while they tried to figure out what to do about his lack of clothing. Perhaps they could find a tuxedo to put him in. That way, he'd match the "woman" dressed up in 1930's attire next to him.
But Summerlin was adamant that no one was to see him naked for very long.
"Don't take his picture — he's got no clothes on," said Summerlin as she jumped between a photographer and the "man."
The naked "man" and the dressed-up "woman" from the 30s were mannequins Arts Clayton officials have put out for their new exhibit of vintage movie posters created for the old Loew's Grand Theater in Atlanta between the 1920s and 1950s.
The two-month exhibit, titled "Reflection of Hollywood's Golden Era — Movies Connecting the Past and Future," will officially open with a reception tonight at 5:30 p.m. at the gallery, 136 S. Main St. in Jonesboro.
The exhibit is made up of pieces owned by collector Herb Bridges, whose collection of "Gone With the Wind" memorabilia is on permanent display at the Road To Tara Museum down the street from the gallery.
The posters were all made by in-house artists who were hired by the Loew's Grand Theater in cinema's early days to promote films as they were released.
"They would be sent a black and white photograph of some scene out of a picture, or of the stars, and then they would paint the poster," said Williamson. "They would create a painting with color and this would be what was in the window boxes as you entered the theater."
Many of the posters on display at the gallery were created by Sidney Smith and Charles Reese Collier for Loew's Grand.
Although modern movie posters are mass-produced on paper, movie posters from the early years of Hollywood were made by individual theaters on wood panels. Some were textured through a process called "flocking" to give them a more detailed look.
"If you remember flocked wallpaper, it's the same idea," said Williamson. "It appears they flocked it, and then painted over it which would be a fairly difficult process."
Others had three-dimension elements, such as the scripts tacked onto the poster for the 1944 Judy Garland film, "Meet Me in St. Louis." For some of the three-dimension posters, such as the 1946 Lucille Ball and John Hodiak film, "Two Smart People," the artist used several wood cut-outs that were layered atop each other.
Several other posters in the collection have the layered wood feature. Some, like the "Two Smart People" poster, used it heavily. Others used it more moderately, such as the poster for the 1937 Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell film, "Night Must Fall," which is dominated by a painting of Montgomery and Russell with a small three-dimensional placard in the corner to carry the name of the film and the stars.
Arts Clayton officials have an affinity for the "Two Smart People" poster, though. It is the one they used on postcards sent out to promote the exhibit and they find the detail in the cut-outs fascinating.
"If you look closely, even her eyelashes are cut out so it's very detailed," said Williamson
"What's neat to look at is how the cutouts are attached with small tacks," Hurst added.
But there aren't many of these specially made posters left because they were scarce to begin with. The boards they were painted on were typically recycled after about a week to make new posters.
"One of the reasons why these are so rare is they would use them over and over again and then they would discard them," said Williamson.
One example is the poster for the 1946 film, "Undercurrent," which starred Katherine Hepburn, Robert Taylor and Robert Mitchum. Arts Clayton staff have it hung so gallery patrons can see the "Undercurrent" poster on one side, and the poster for another, unnamed movie on the backside.
However, while there are several movie posters hanging all over the gallery right now, they are not the only Hollywood-influence art on display. Arts Clayton had several of its regular exhibiting artists paint their own takes on famous films and stars for a related exhibit featured in the gallery's back exhibit hall.
Both exhibits will remain on display through Sept. 27.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, 2001 Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said today there "is not going to be a D-Day as such and I'm sure there will not be a signing ceremony on the Missouri as such," in regards to the war on terrorists.
He said the withdrawal of recognition of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban by the United Arab Emirates Sept. 22 and Saudi Arabia Sept. 25, plus America's show of unity and resolve suggest to him that terrorists have to begin to look at the world differently.
"The American people when stirred can be united and purposeful and relentless," he said to reporters at a Pentagon press briefing.
Rumsfeld said the United States is engaged in a broad-based effort. The ongoing build-up of forces is already having an effect on terrorists.
"It's true that as forces are deployed, people who have reasons to be frightened have to take steps to change their behavior in a way that probably adds cost and adds difficulty to them, and that's not a bad thing," Rumsfeld said.
He said some military steps will be visible as they have been during traditional conflicts. In other cases, however, they will be covert by necessity.
Rumsfeld said the public should not look for just a military response. "We do intend to have the entire United States government engaged in this over a sustained period of time," he said.
He said the United States would not build a coalition, but coalitions, to stop terrorists. "We will engage some countries on one aspect of it and still other countries on another aspect," he said. "We will see coalitions that will evolve and change over time depending on the activity and the circumstance of the country. The mission needs to define the coalition, and we ought not think that the coalition should define the mission."
Rumsfeld defined victory as crippling terrorist organizations' ability "to coerce and terrorize and otherwise disrupt the way of life of Americans and our friends and allies around the world."
He said this conflict will involve casualties and that efforts against the terrorist organizations will be difficult and dangerous.
"There is, as we are aware, the likelihood that more people will be lost, but what is at stake here is our way of life and our ability to remain engaged in the world," he said. America's global engagement is the underpinning of peace and stability in the world, he said, and "being able to live without fear is a worthy cause."

Here's a whimsical little pillow or cupboard tuck hand painted by me with some adorable sheep standing in a sunny field full of heart shaped flowers. I painted the design onto muslin with acrylic paint, backed the pillow with an old and tattered cutter quilt and stuffed it with fiber fill. The pillow measures about 9" (23 cm) wide by 6" (15 cm) tall and has a hang tag attached with a rusty safety pin and a rusted jingle bell that reads "Wool For Sale". I've aged the hang tag with walnut ink and the painted muslin has been lightly sanded back so some of the undercoat is visible for an aged, primitive appearance. If anyone knows who drew this cute design, please let me know so I can give proper attribution to the artist.
