Or, really, this is just me telling you to go see Rose Matafeo's show. I would have told you to go see Fasitua's show too, but his shows are already over, sorry about that. I'd never been to the comedy fest before, probably because I'm not really down with what's hot in the comedy scene, so I never knew who to go see. But, being that Fasitua is on the hilarious show Auckland Daze, and is also pretty hilarious IRL, it was a no-brainer that his show would be loltastic, and it was. He also gets bonus points for being the brother of Ron and Toma Amosa, the drummer and keyboardist in The Daylight Robbery band.
But back to my point: Go to the comedy festival before it ends – but most of all, go to one of Rose Matafeo's shows, if it hasn't already sold out by the time you read this. It was brilliant, and clever and kooky, witty and dry with a touch of 'David Brent' awkward, but overall just really, really funny. Laughing out loud the whole way through funny, well worth the small price of admission.
I've always enjoyed watching Rose on U-Live, she's often more entertaining than some of the music played, but watching her on stage I was really in awe of how good she was. I felt like I was watching a real star in the making. And she's only 20!!! OK, I'll stop now, cos I think it's clear I'm in slight girl-crush mode – and things might get awkward the next time I see her on twitter.
Get tickets to her show here. It's on until the 19th May. If you miss out, I'm sure there's a bunch of other great shows to see too.

got the latest software to iso of the drive and does it fuck work ....what a pile of shit flatmii is ok as ling as u dont want any new games to work
been abit, but ya flatzii looks just like a external usb2.0 manager... really don't get it since you can control it all with the wii itself (softmod) and use the wii's drive to copy instead of the lg dvdrom way (like i do)unless i'm missing somthing about it, but hey, gotta make some $$$ somehow lol
got the latest software to iso of the drive and does it fuck work ....what a pile of shit flatmii is ok as ling as u dont want any new games to work
updated mine, and windows to win7 and everything works fine, every new game except new super mario bro's works for me. and that one game has issues with everyone... try wiping the drivers from the device manager, restart then re-installing the original driver.. not the software, but the driver.
ah ok was going to stick win 7 on it anyways so will give it a bash mate thanx
kool, lemme know if u have any probs. maybe we can figure it out. i'm not the quickest to respond, but will help when i can.
well matey ...installed fresh 32bit windows 7 and installed new driver with sofware..
Tried to play a couple of games and the screen goes black ..pads turns off and system hangs ...
Tried rockband 2 and pokerman they worked ok ..
Tried ghosbusters and it wouldnt work but i loaded it using my softmod and it plays the disk from the ios but starts in the neo loader software ??
Tried wii sports resorts and nothing what ever i do ? I am currently downloading a fresh download of mario and sonic to try that ...
Any ideas mate ..also what system version u on ??? 3.2e still or have u upgraded to later?
thanx for any help
ya was just comming back in to mention, i had updated to 4.2u helping out another guy then ran through THIS TUTORIAL (be warned tho, i'm in the US and bought my WII and modded it way over a year ago, and with all the problems surrounding it, i wouldn't recomend doing it... think i just lucked out fist time thru). but i know it worked before that on my 3.2u. it almost sounds like a connection problem could be causing it since it all goes black, but if you havn't moved/dropped your wii or anything like that i would rule it out. also if other games run through it are stable you can rule it out too. i'm going to try the wii sports resort today with my kids, so i'll let you know if i have luck. other than the connection, or the drivers/software. (also let me know if you need the old driver to try, i still have it zipped up) have you updated any ios or installed any other software on the wii lately? just let me know about any of the files.. i rarely delete things that worked even when i update i keep the backup's.
...keep in mind too if you update your wii you have to re-install homebrew, if even possible, with the indiana or smash game disc trick.
Last edited by nicdeloach; 12-01-2009 at 10:45 AM. Reason: added about re-installing homebrew.
on that note... since that new super mario came out and had/has tons of issues. i installed neogamma and everything else (including game backuups and homebrew) to my external WD 320gig (white to match my wii ) hard drive, formatted half in WBFS (for the games) and the rest in FAT32 (for all the files you usually keep on sd card) and THIS NEAT IPOD TYPE MENU to scroll through games easily. and have elimintated the need for the flatmii totally. if you have an external drive, flash drive etc.. and wanna run through this sometime (most games cut down from the 4.5gig to less than half) just take a look at that tutorial and Private Message me i'll run through it with you. its easy while its fresh in my mind having just done it recently and is way kool considering no more disc, don't have to have your computer attached while you play and easy game changes
Well thanx mate for all ya help ,but i just tried installing menu 4 with a tutorial and then after that putting 4.1 on and the good news is it work perfectly ...i do feel a retard now for not think of it before i flamed flatmii support lol..But if anyone else trys this its just a menu prob i still had 3.2 and the new games just wont work with it ....
again thanx for the replys nic much appreciated...
ahhh! doh! i feel stupid lol, that was a million miles away from my thoughts lol. i had already updated to 4.2 trying to get mario to work so i never even took a second thought to it. well glad to hear you got it going congrats!!!

The budget fight may be happening in Washington, but it's investors on Wall Street who keep getting smacked.
Stocks fell Friday for the sixth day out of the last seven, and ended the week with a decline. Investors focused on the risk that the government could shut down on Tuesday unless Congress agrees to a new spending bill. And even if that hurdle is cleared, the dispute is poised to continue into the middle of October as legislators debate raising the nation's borrowing limit.

Ask Dr. Robb: Are the Clarisonic and Opal safe for use during pregnancy?
Pregnancy can wreak havoc on your hormones and your skin. The Clarisonic's patented Sonic Technology removes 6x more makeup than manual cleansing alone by gently gliding over the skin. The sonic micro-message loosens and removes dirt and oil from pores, clarifying skin without harsh chemicals therefore, improving skin texture. The Sonic technology removes pollutants, oil and bacteria that accumulate on the skin giving a sonic boost to your skin care products and reducing the need for harsh chemicals. Dr. Robb lends his expertise as he answers the question, are the Clarisonic and Opal safe to use during pregnancy and on my bump?
Dr. Robb says that both the Clarisonic and Opal are safe to use on your face for daily cleansing during pregnancy. It is not recommended that you use the Clarisonic on your growing baby bump because it's a very delicate area, something that is very precious. You could consult you OBGYN but we hope your baby is going to know the feeling when they get older and start using their own Clarisonic.
Dr. Robb also recently told us about what age your child can start using the Clarisonic.
Sonic Resolutions: Feel Good in 2012
It's that time of year when everyone reflects on the past 12-months and tries to think of one thing they will resolve to complete in the upcoming year. We've compiled some beauty resolutions that if kept, will keep you feeling and looking wonderful well into the New Year.
Get more sleep: Fully restful sleep ranging from 6-8 hours will not only have you feeling refreshed, it will invigorate your entire body. Sleep gives your body time to heal and the supercharge you need to get through a busy day. They don't call it beauty sleep for nothing.
Drink more water: The benefits of drinking water are enormous. Water flushes out your system removing impurities from your body and skin. If drinking 8 glasses of water sounds horribly boring, add lime, lemon or orange slices to spice it up. A sprig of mint or slice of cucumber also makes for a refreshing drink. Cheers!
Commit to a skin care routine: Start the year off strong with a dedicated routine for your skin. Look into products formulated for your skin type and determine any specific needs your skin may need whether it's acne or more hydration. Once you determine what your skin needs, stick to your routine daily. Don't forget your SPF!
Laugh more: Laughing and smiling will help you not only look better but you will feel better too. Laughter lightens a room and makes everyone around you happier.
What is your feel-good resolution for 2012?
Opal Secrets Contest Winners and Featured Stories
The eye is the jewel of the body – Henry David Thoreau. The quest for younger and more refreshed looking eyes is not a new one. Tips and tricks have been passed down for generations and new technologies have been created to answer the need.
One such technology and the jewel to the Clarisonic family, is the Opal. The Opal Sonic Infusion System uses proven sonic technology to apply eye serum better than manual application. In just one minute, the Opal provides more than 7500 gentle micro-massages to instantly hydrate, smooth and brighten the eyes.
We asked our fans to share their secrets to keeping their eyes hydrated whether they used the Opal or not. We got some amazing stories; we are sharing three with you here and have ten that have won our Opal Secret contest. Congratulations to all of our winners!
Featured Opal Secret stories:
"Redneck" Sonic Regimen
Well, I don't own a Clarisonic Opal so here's what I do instead…and don't laugh… I use the back side of my Sonic toothbrush to help apply my night serum, (different brush head of course). I realize that this is no comparison to the Clarisonic Opal but I'm using what I've got because I know how beneficial it is. So until I get the real thing, this is what I do.
Men's eye remedy
I am a guy who takes pride in his appearance. Recently I have been noticing my eyes have look tired and puffy (probably the increased stress of trying to run my live like a crazy person through work and school, trying to do the work of five people all by myself, deffinately not recommended..) I started to look for a solution. Your eyes can easily be the first thing someone will notice about you and they are usually first to show any signs of aging!… So I set out for a way to cure. To tackle the puffiness I began using a de puffing eye gel. I started with the Body Shop's Eye Depuffer. It worked wonders I would notice my eyes significantly decreasing in puffiness. Much of it was extra water under the eye lids so at times I looked and still looks like I am crying, not to say my eyes get red and I make an ugly face, anyway I think you get the picture. My next step was to find a eye cream to help keep my eyes bright and awake and get rid of that oh so chic I just got punched in the eye look. I ended choosing Clique's all about the eye, it was very feminine but the sales associate at Sephora helped me realize that the skin around a woman's eye and around a mens eye really aren't all that different. After that? poof those dark circles were minimized. My eyes were back in business and I am glad I took that step… lets be honest who wants to look punched and puffy?
The BEST under eye trick
When I was in college I worked at a makeup counter at the mall. One of my co-workers was an amazing makeup artist that had just moved from NYC so I was so excited to learn his tips and tricks. The one thing that he told me that I remember to this day and always share with people is……when applying under eye cream ALWAYS apply it and blend it from the outside of your eye inwards towards your nose. Why you ask? Well….the fine lines and crows feet that form tend to start out closer to the inner corners of your eye and expand outwards so everytime you put on under eye cream you want to be lightly tapping and blending the cream in the opposite direction they form to make sure the product really gets in there. If you put on under eye cream twice a day that is a lot of pulling and dabbing on the under eye area over time so it's better to be smoothing it on in the opposite direction that they form. I swear this works! I used to have one line in particular that was fairly deep and I would notice it when I would get tan because it would be white from squinting while I was out in the sun. Since I started applying under eye cream from the outside of my eye towards the inside my lines have completely and very noticeably smoothed out! For some reason I had always put under eye cream on from the inside out which I know a lot us you do becuase it seems more natural to apply it this way but it's the complete opposite of what you want to do. I love sharing this trick with people and I swear you will notice a difference if you try it!

Ask Dr. Robb: Is the Opal safe to use with eye fillers like restylane?
Restalyne is an injectible filler used to achieve a more youthful look without plastic surgery. In this video, Dr. Robb tells us whether the Opal is safe to use in conjunction with eye fillers.
Dr. Robb recommends you talk to your skin care professional after they've given you the fillers. From our experience it is perfectly safe to use after you healed up from the injections the following day. He says that if you're worried about the Clarisonic moving the fill around your face, that isn't going to happen.
Ask Dr. Robb: Can I use the Opal on other areas on my face?
The first sign of aging that most people notice are eye wrinkles. These wrinkles, as well as the dark circles and bags that accompany them, may begin to appear when a person is still in their twenties and can become more noticeable with the passage of time. The Opal does wonders for the eye, but will it work on the rest of your face? See what Dr. Robb has to say in the video below!
Yes, anywhere where you have crepey dry skin, it is also perfectly fine to use it between the eyes and around the mouth. People love the way it feels and how their skin looks after using Opal Sonic Infusion.
Dos and Don'ts for Anti-Aging Skincare
Anti-Aging products are not just for our mothers anymore. Most women in their 20s have started to add anti-aging products to their skincare routines as a preventative method. Check out our dos and don'ts for an anti-aging skincare routine.
The Don'ts…
Don't smoke.
Those who smoke will likely develop wrinkles prematurely around their eyes and mouth. Smoking is known to degrade the elastic fibers of the dermis which affects your skin's firmness as well.
Don't yoyo diet.
When your body weight increases or decreases, it can loosen the elasticity of your skin. Also, be aware that a thin face can be associated with being unhealthy whereas a full face might actually look younger.
Don't stretch your skin.
Pulling or stretching your skin can result in sagging decreasing the firmness in your face. Be gentle when it comes to touching your face and especially your eye area.
Don't ignore your neck and chest.
The signs of aging can also appear on your neck and chest. Be sure to adequately moisturize these areas as well.
The Dos….
Do cleanse regularly.
A regular cleansing routine is essential to keeping your skin in the best condition possible. The Clarisonic is a great addition to your skincare routine because it removes 6x more makeup and dirt than manual cleansing.
Do get your vitamins and antioxidants.
What you eat can affect your skin. Be sure to get enough vitamins and eat plenty of antioxidant-rich foods.
Do use an eye cream.
The skin around the eye area is thinner and therefore, needs extra care. Use an anti-aging eye cream or check out the Opal Sonic Infusion System that helps eliminate the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Do wear sunscreen.
The sun can leave you with damaged skin from UV rays. Even when it is overcast, use a moisturizer with an SPF.
Do drink lots of water.
Drinking plenty of water is essential for keeping yourself hydrated. Eight glasses of water a day is recommended.
Do you have any tips to add for the perfect Anti-Aging Skincare Routine?

Performing at Super Bowl XLII
By Janel Healy
Imagine performing in front of a packed crowd during the Super Bowl. Students from the Arizona State University Sun Devil Marching Band, the Willow Canyon High School Wildcat Marching Band from Surprise, Ariz., and the Glendale (Ariz.) High School Marching Cardinals lived this dream on Feb. 3, 2008.
During pregame, the Sun Devils performed for a completely packed stadium, and the high school students (40 from Willow Canyon and 35 from Glendale) held up tall flags to create tunnels that the football players ran through onto the field.
Being that close to the playersseeing the sweat on their facesand seeing all the cameras flashing was pretty cool, says junior Brandon Downs, tenor player from Willow Canyon.
The Willow Canyon and Glendale students also acted as the field audience for the pregame show by Alicia Keys; they interacted with her at a rehearsal beforehand, then cheered and danced just below the stage during the show.
During Tom Pettys halftime performance, students created special lighting effects in the darkened stadium. The college participants slowly spun a gigantic black tarp covered in fluorescent paintreferred to as the nebulawhile the high school students waved extremely powerful flashlights (each one was worth $3,000).
Shawn Kelly, the Super Bowl casting director, feels that he made a good decision when he asked these three bands to participate in the inner workings of the pregame and halftime performances. For who could crew the Super Bowl better than marchers, who are completely comfortable working on a football field?

After the Cold War ended in 1991 the government of Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons, but now members of the opposition that overthrew the elected government are having second thoughts. Weapons of Mass Destruction have regained their appeal.
Pavlo Rizanenko, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament aligned with boxer turned politician Vitali Klitschko, has now raised the possibility of the opposition seeking nuclear weapons. Rizanenko claims nuclear weapons may be necessary due to threats to territorial integrity.
The United States, Great Britain and Russia agreed in a pact "to assure Ukraine's territorial integrity" in return for Ukraine giving up a nuclear arsenal it inherited from the Soviet Union after declaring independence in 1991, said Pavlo Rizanenko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament.
"We gave up nuclear weapons because of this agreement," said Rizanenko, a member of the Udar Party headed by Vitali Klitschko, a candidate for president. "Now there's a strong sentiment in Ukraine that we made a big mistake."
Of course the "we" in those sentences is problematic. Rizanenko is part of a faction of Ukrainian politics that helped overthrow the elected president and he is a supporter of one of the contending presidential candidates for the upcoming elections. While he is a member of parliament it's unclear if all of Ukraine really wants nuclear weapons.
And even if much of Ukraine – or at least the factions that have seized power in Kiev – wanted nuclear weapons there is no good reason they should be allowed to have them. Ukraine is one of the most unstable political societies in the world – throwing nuclear weapons into the mix is a recipe for disaster.
Should Ukraine begin pursuing WMDs I'm sure the US' response will be completely consistent with its previous positions, such as with Iran and Iraq.

Tuition at Oregon's seven public universities will increase by an average of 6 percent next school year, under rates approved Friday by the State Board of Higher Education.
The increases, ranging from 1.5 percent at Western Oregon University to 9.9 percent at Southern Oregon University, will be partially offset by cuts in fees. Some of the fee cuts are tied to a decision by most campuses to provide optional health insurance coverage instead of making it mandatory.
The state's most expensive school for resident undergraduates remains the University of Oregon, where tuition and fees will come to $9,310 annually — an increase of roughly $3,000 in just four years.
Across the nation, tuition has increased steadily for years at both public and private universities. In explaining this year's rise, Oregon University System officials noted that state support declined by $132 million from 2009-11 to 2011-13, and expenses for labor, health care and the Public Employee Retirement System continue to rise.

About 200 people took part in the Memorial Day Parade Monday in Taylor.
Many were veterans of a foreign war, including a man who served in the military during three wars.
While most marched, retired Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Bracey rode in his wheelchair.
"It's a beautiful day," said Col. Bracey. "It's a wonderful day. It's good to be alive."
The retired airman, who fought in World War II and served in the military during the Korean and Vietnam wars, is 91.
His son calls him the ultimate patriot.
"He joined because he said he had to," said Thomas Bracey, Jr. "And he did 37 years, 11 months and two days for our country."
The colonel said he gets a charge out of celebrations like this.
A few years ago, Colonel Bracey remembers how those who served in Vietnam returned home to jeers.
"I would say we're doing pretty well," said the colonel. "We're doing much better than in the past."
"I`m happy that they`re here, that`s all i have to say," said Marie Mashurak from the front porch of her Taylor home as she watched the parade. "There are so many who are not here."
At 91, Colonel Bracey knows he won't be riding in many future celebrations, but when he looks at others in the parade and those watching, he senses people understand the meaning of Memorial Day.
"It was just a day," said Colonel Bracey, "but today Memorial Day means a little more. We're glad to be alive."

LOGAN, Utah - Utah State's football game at Louisiana Tech on Saturday, Nov. 17 will be available to watch live via the internet on ESPN3.com and will now begin at 2 p.m. (MT) as the kickoff has been moved up three hours.
Utah State, who has a bye this week, is 8-2 on the season and in first-place in the Western Athletic Conference with a 4-0 mark. Louisiana Tech, who is 8-1 thus far this year and 3-0 in WAC play, plays at Texas State this weekend before hosting USU next weekend. LTU is currently ranked 19th in the Associated Press top 25 poll and 20th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' poll. Both teams are currently riding nine-game WAC winning streaks.
Utah State is off to its best start to a season since the 1974 team also won eight of its first 10 games, while its 4-0 league record is its best since the 2000 team won its first four Big West Conference games. Its eight wins this year is also the most since 1974 and it is just the 10th time in school history USU has won at least eight games.
In all, Utah State has won a school-record nine-straight WAC games dating back to last season and is 13-3 in its last 16 games, which is its best stretch since the 1971, 1972 and 1973 teams combined to win 13 of 16 games as well.
Overall, USU has won six of its last eight road games dating back to last season, including each of its last five.
For USU football ticket information, contact the USU Ticket Office at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, or by phone by calling 1-888-USTATE-1 or (435) 797-0305. Tickets can also be purchased 24 hours a day at www.UtahStateAggies.com.

Reds Re-Sign Five Minor League Free Agents
Here are today's minor transactions from around the league…
- The Reds announced (on Twitter) that they have re-signed minor league free agents Justin Freeman, Ray Chang, Jose Diaz, Mike Costanzo and Kristopher Negron. Each played for Triple-A Louisville at some point, though Costanzo and Chang spent more time at the Double-A level. Diaz, in particular, was impressive for the Bats, firing 54 1/3 innings of 1.66 ERA ball with 9.9 K/9, 3.5 BB/9 and 13 saves.
- As shown in MLBTR's DFA Tracker, the Rangers' Jeff Baker is the only player that is currently in DFA limbo.

- The Reds outrighted third baseman Mike Costanzo to Triple-A Louisville, according to the team's website. The Reds designated Costanzo for assignment two days ago to create roster space for Dioner Navarro.

Reds Designate Mike Costanzo For Assignment
The Reds have designated Mike Costanzo for assignment, the team announced (on Twitter). The move creates room on the roster for Dioner Navarro.
Costanzo, 28, had one single and one walk in 21 plate appearances for Cincinnati this season, good for a .056/.095/.056 batting line. The infielder was involved in two high profile trades in 2007, first the Brad Lidge–Michael Bourn swap and then the Miguel Tejada–Luke Scott deal.

Orioles Release Mike Costanzo
The Orioles released Mike Costanzo, according to Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun. The Orioles offered him the chance to stay in the organization as a pitcher, but the corner infielder asked for his release instead.
The 26-year-old hit a combined .202/.304/.316 in the upper levels of the Orioles' system last year. Costanzo, a 2005 second round selection by the Phillies, came over to Baltimore in the 2007 deal that sent Miguel Tejada to Houston.

Astros Acquire Miguel Tejada
UPDATE, 12-12-07 at 4:41pm: Richard Justice notes that Tejada can demand a trade after the '08 season. That hadn't occurred to me; it diminishes his value to the Astros.
UPDATE, 12-12-07 at 12:04pm: Rosenthal says Tejada is expected to play short for the Astros; Adam Everett's time may be up. Tejada's offensive output looks a lot better coming from short than it does coming from third, though it may be a moot point if Ty Wigginton is manning the hot corner.
FROM 12-12-07 at 11:42am:
This comes as a surprise, on the heels of a Rosenthal report to the contrary. Jeff Zrebiec says the Astros have acquired Miguel Tejada for Luke Scott, Matt Albers, Troy Patton, Dennis Sarfate, and Mike Costanzo.
That's a fine haul for Baltimore. The Astros pretty much cleaned out their farm system for two years of an average-hitting third baseman. The average NL 3B had an .804 OPS in '07; Tejada was at .799 in the AL. I know some readers think I'm an Astro-hater but that's not the case. I just think they gave up way too much here. Patton was ranked their third best prospect by Baseball America, Costanzo sixth. Scott is a cheap quality regular, and Albers was third on the team's 2007 top prospect list.

Phillies Acquire Brad Lidge For Michael Bourn
A major trade was struck tonight, as the Phillies acquired Brad Lidge and Eric Bruntlett for Michael Bourn, Geoff Geary, and Mike Costanzo.
The makings of this deal surfaced earlier today, as it was revealed the Astros had interest in Francisco Cordero. The 'Stros had been talking about bringing in a center fielder, though no one expected Bourn.
Phillies fans have to be happy to hear that the acquisition will allow Brett Myers to move back into the starting rotation. We were hearing just yesterday that Myers would remain in the pen. Perhaps Pat Gillick surveyed the market for a top-rotation starter and didn't like the prices. Besides bolstering the bullpen for 2008, Gillick should snag a draft pick or two if Lidge leaves for a multiyear deal via free agency (assuming he has a good 2008 season).
Bourn is obviously the key to the deal for Ed Wade and the Astros. He's a burner and prototypical leadoff man as well as a plus on defense. The move seems to give Wade a new trading chip, right fielder Luke Scott.

By: J.P. Murrieta, KOB Eyewitness Sports 4
University of New Mexico football coach Bob Davie holds a weekly press conference every Tuesday. He'll talk about the upcoming opponent, the status of his quarterback, various injury reports, and schemes and matchups. This week Davie became philosophical on various topics.
On whether or not to let Cole Gautsche throw the ball more:
At some point we need to let Cole let it rip and throw it for the future. Again, I make the statement it's too early to judge by wins and losses. I mean that. I'm not saying that to have a little safety net if we don't win while he's trying to lower the standard. There's nobody that has higher standards than I do. But you've got to be careful of getting too carried away of trying to win, which we are every week, but at what point does that stunt your development, whether that's Cole Gautsche who just needs to throw the ball and we live with the consequences, or it's Cranston Jones, the two Jackson twins, Paytron Hightower being in that game and we just live with the consequences. That's where we are in the development of this program. We're trying to scratch and claw and win every week and have a plan to win, but you've got to be careful that you're not afraid to lose a game because three years from now or four years from now is what's really important for this program. That's the reality of this. And that's what I fight, that tremendous urgency and wanting to win every week, with the patience it takes to make really smart decisions and build this program. Not to go off on a tangent, but Cole Gautsche is a really good example of young guys playing on this team. We just need to bite the bullet and let them play.
On the lack of a passing game this season:
I don't think Bob DeBesse came to the University of New Mexico to throw the ball one time in the second half. I don't think Ty Kirk and Quintell Solomon or Lucas Reed loves the idea of getting one ball thrown to them a game. I don't know if Jeff Mills came here thinking, "I'm not going to get to play one snap of man-to-man coverage in the games." But that's what it is. So there are a lot of people's psyches that are important, and I manage that every single day. That's why I appreciate these players and these coaches so much, because I know what it really is and what it has a chance to become.
On the fan support this season:
I've got a picture in my office that someone took during the Southern game. It was a great day, beautiful and sunny. A lot of fans felt pretty good..red shirts and red hats. It's a great picture of our stadium. I've been pleased. I understand we're not the prettiest team, but in some ways it's kind of fun to watch us play. I think the fans have been great, I really do. I appreciate the fans coming out, but I'm never going to judge our fans should more come.
Davie ended his press conference with "Alright guys, we have enough philosophy for today? It's like coming to see Dr. Phil."
The Lobos host Fresno State on Saturday afternoon.

Assistant Press Secretary Carl Woog provided the following readout:
Today Secretary Hagel spoke by phone with Ukrainian Minister of Defense Pavlo Lebedyev. Secretary Hagel warned Minister Lebedyev not to use the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the civilian population in any fashion. He underlined the potential damage of any involvement by the military in breaking up the demonstrations and called for restraint. Minister Lebedyev stated that it is President Yanukovych's position not to use the Armed Forces against the protestors and said he would pass the Secretary's message directly to President Yanukovych.

Standards in Society
Maintaining standards for our profession, and even the greater service community, makes it possible for members of our profession personally to flourish and excel in servicing employers and guests.
However, we are often met by low standards in society in general that make following our own standards difficult and impact our ability to provide service.
The vendor who is unreliable, ineffective, or dishonest; the employee who has an attitude or personal problem; the employer or guest who is inconsiderate or even abusive; the criminals and drug addicts who make neighborhoods unsafe, and so on: They all present challenges when considered individually. When they become all too common, they can destabilize one's environment (personal or work) and drive up one's blood pressure!
There are many stabilizing influences and worthwhile programs in society, each deserving of support, which address the various areas of perturbation (anxiety) in our work life and society. Among my personal favorites are five programs we believe work effectively to resolve the areas we feel most impact our delivery of service, the condition of the work force in general, and society as a whole.
Feel free to inspect the Web sites we list below and, if you find yourself faced with an individual who could benefit from the programs they provide, might we suggest you consider using the information offered as a tool to bring a bit more order to your environment and relief to them?
The Institute supports THE WAY TO HAPPINESS (www.twth.org) because morals are an important subject that do not receive the attention they used to in educating our citizenry.
The idea of being considerate toward others, or of looking after one's own best long-term interests are lessons that many have not been taught.
Based completely on common sense, the booklet (and the dynamic Public Service Announcements) offered through the Web site gives individuals without one, a much-needed moral compass.
Available in over 100 languages, with 110 million-and counting distributed and endorsed by many governments, schools, religions, civic leaders and corporations, .
Contact the Institute (providing name and postal address) to receive a free copy of the version put out by the Institute (pictured above). Try reading and using it to straighten out someone who may be having trouble with any of the 21 basic morals listed.
Foundation for a Drug Free World, because knowing the truth about drugs never hurt, but buying into drugs as a cool solution does. For ten free booklets that arm children with the data they need to know to live a drug- free life, go to: DrugFreeWorld.org
www.narconon.org because we all know that drugs in the workplace can be a problem for all concerned—and because the drug-free Narconon program has enjoyed a 75% success rate in permanently freeing people from any and all street drugs for the almost five decades since it opened its doors.
www.pointofreturn.com, because it enjoys a 95% success rate in helping individuals come off addictive psychiatric drugs. For more information on how psychiatric drugs relate to workplace issues in private estates and the hospitality industry, see the articles on this site:
United for Human Rights and its subsidiary, Youth for Human Rights, because the working conditions butlers and other household staff enjoy are dependent upon the concept of Human Rights being known and followed.
While our profession's circumstances have improved over the centuries from that of slave to serf to servant and finally to staff member/employee and even professional, some of our colleagues today suffer injury and even death at the hands of their employers. Indeed, Human Rights are still an undreamt dream for billions and are being eroded currently with the passage of such as The Patriot Act in the land that champions Human Rights, the United States of America.
When humans know their rights, they can insist on them and so help to preserve a civilization without which there would be no butlers. United for Human Rights aims to bring to life and raise public awareness of the 30 basic Human Rights as set down in the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Their Web site features the movie The Story of Human Rights and a series of unique Public Service Announcements, each featuring one of the 30 Human Rights.

For folks with a tablet or other kind of e-reader, the public library is a bit different. For one thing, it's mainly in cyberspace and browsing the virtual shelves takes more than a little getting used to. On the plus side, it's open 24/7 and if a title is available for lending, you can be perusing it within moments of making your selection.
I'll admit that the virtual library has other differences from the public library – for instance, most of the titles have a shorter loan period and if you place an item on hold, it is extremely likely that it will be made available to you when you simply have no time for it. But browsing the shelves is a bit easier as you can use the tools of cyberspace to narrow your search to exactly what you want. I managed to download and read 4 books in a week's time.
So if you have a tablet or similar device, I suggest you go online and discover your library again. After all, that's what it's there for.

You know what I noticed? Most brands don't have winter collections–they only bother with releasing holiday collections, gift sets, and/or palettes or some combination thereof. MAC dominates the winter '08 season with its non-holiday releases!

The Wildcats had a balanced showing both on the track and in the field. In the 200-meter finals UNH's Keith Chisholm, finished first with a time of 23.11 seconds. Chisholm also finished second in the 55-meters. Also taking home top honors for the Wildcats were John Barry in the 55-meter high hurdles (7.81), Kevin Horgan in the 3000-meters (8:25.95) and Kyle Schneck who won two events, the 1500 meters (3:57:37) and the 500 meters (1:56:39).

|Vitorial Maloch Recognized for Efforts to Make Rice 'The Official Grain of the State of Arkansas
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — December 18, 2008
LITTLE ROCK, AR — USA Rice Federation last week recognized Victoria Moloch, daughter of Arkansas State Representative Bruce and Martha Maloch of Magnolia, for her efforts to designate rice as 'The Official Grain of the State of Arkansas' by encouraging the adoption of HB 2434 in the 2007 session of the Arkansas General Assembly. Maloch recognized that Arkansas grows nearly 50 percent of the rice produced in the United States and felt that the state should acknowledge the significance of the grain and the industry. She eventually persuaded her father to introduce a bill to establish rice as the state's official grain.
"I thought that bringing this idea to my dad seemed kind of trivial at first, but since Arkansas produces half of the rice in the United States, it seemed only natural that rice should be the state's official grain," Maloch said during the 2008 Rice Awards luncheon last week. USA Rice awarded Maloch with a plaque for her work in publicizing the importance of the rice industry to the state."It's extremely gratifying to see the enthusiasm that Victoria brought to this effort to put the spotlight on Arkansas rice," Arkansas Rice Council President Robert Petter said. "I congratulate her on this achievement."

I say keep the ride. Why take out a ride that was in the park since 1955? The Autopia is the one and only remaining original Tomorrowland ride?
Keep the ride, PLUS it to the max. Trading two Autopias for one, I never thought that we had the good end of the bargain so they can do a lot more to make it better. The queue is a bit on the ugly side and the cheap graphics on the billboard light display certainly doesn't help.
I do hope they upgrade the designs on the cars. The autopia of the 80s, you were able to look behind you at your friends driving. The way the new cars are designed, you can't do that because of the hulking rear. I'm all for some more back support but I think they overdid it.
If they go the pixar cars route, there's plenty of miscellaneous cars on the race track they can emulate.
Autopia is an awesome ride. Maybe they could update the looks of the car to make them more futuristic (tomorrowland-ish) and add in speakers to the car or track so that it gives a better feel of driven on the road listening to nature/music. I think they should also change the little short clips in the turning area before you get ur license.

Tear it out, build a shop.
Seriously, though - I see no reason to remove it; it's been around in one format or another since '55. If the Chevron contract expires and results in necessary changes, then I'd say update it - but not with the Cars overlay (although I DO think a Cars overlay would be an excellent fit for Mulholland Madness, over in DCA); rather, I'd like to see them build on the concept of using the electric cars they're using in Hong Kong. Make that the "theme" - "plus" the cars so they look "futuristic", maybe include a few gadgets like onboard audio (or, better yet, have an OnStar-style system where you can "call up" the other drivers on the road!) and make it about the transportation of tomorrow. That way, the Autopia will fit into the Tomorrowland theme better than it ever has before.
Autopia is fine for now. As Dusty mentioned, an update similar to Hong Kong's Autopia would be nice...maybe fix up the theming a bit. TL '98's Autopia was supposed to be a lot bigger, but of course, a lot of it got cut.
Seriously, it's fine in TL as well because kids will never be allowed to drive when they're 7.
Maybe one day it would be cool to drive little flying cars. But that's one day. Right now the resort needs attention in many other areas.
Update (radically).
Couple of things that would be cool
* Make it electric
* Redesign to be futuristic
* Have acrylic tunnels (like those in the Future)
* Have acrylic tubes that go under water (into the subs lagoon).
* Have underground tunnels with displays that simulate going VERY fast
(basically, go into tunnel, 90 degree turn, future city scape projected on walls,
you speed video up, then slow down or emergency stop, etc, black, 90 degree turn,
come out) This will be the climax. Probably need two or more tunnels to keep the ride
capacity up. Have them be different locales. Maybe a tron tunnel to simulate
* Have it hover (think Star Wars; use the RogerRabbit like ride system)
* Put displays in the cars
those are some really good ideas!

Thanks! And Welcome to MC, Brian!
As much as I don't ride it (line too long for someone with a driver's license), I remember as a kid, thinking it was the coolest thing ever. Think about it. I got to drive a car, really drive, a car at 9 years old. That's cool
Keep it. For the children.

"It seems the words on my mug are right: 'It is hard to soar with Eagles when you work with Turkeys.'" - Sam the Eagle
Flying cars. Using optical camouflage to hide an elevated track the autopia can bring us something from the jetsons that hasn't actually happened yet.

I probably agree with what he is trying to say, but he shouldn't have said it. This is kinda what got him in trouble a long time ago when he was a HS coach in Michigan. If I remember correctly he basically said intercity athletes are poor and stupid so we shouldn't expect any more out of them. In my mind, that is the WRONG answer.
What players he chooses to select or any other coach for that matter is his choice. Stanford doesn't accept kids that don't meet academic standards and they do just fine.

From what I can tell in the videos Hibbetts looks like a much better all around bball player than Donnel did in HS.

I wonder if the coaches haven't told him something about a possible opening in the future.

Another benefit at Michigan Stadium is that we show no advertising on our video screens. Ohio has decent size screen, but 1/3 of the screen (as well as vast areas of the stadium) are covered in advertising. What benefit for the fans is having a huge screen covered in car dealership adds.

Wind: 6 mph
By Brian Shupe
In last week's Valley Reporter both Rob Williams and Deri Meier raised interesting and valid points regarding the proposal to vote on Waitsfield's town and school budgets by Australian ballot, rather than voting on those items from the floor at Town Meeting.
This is an important issue, the outcome of which will help define what kind of community we are and the level of control and oversight that voters will exercise over our town government. My preference is that we retain Town Meeting, which has served Waitsfield well for 225+/- years, and can be improved to serve us better in the future.
Town Meeting not only allows voters to approve or disapprove of the taxing and spending decisions of elected leaders, it allows those voters to take control of those decisions. In past years, voters have questioned the priorities of our select board and overruled those priorities, on the spot, by changing the budget.
However, Town Meeting is not the most convenient form of democracy, and encouraging greater participation is an important goal. Across the nation disenfranchising certain classes of voters has become a political weapon, and Waitsfield should be working toward greater participation and involvement in local decision-making.
I fear, however, that choosing to vote our budgets by Australian ballot may slightly increase the number of votes cast but will diminish the role of the voters in the act of governing – and concentrate that authority in our 10 elected school and select board members. Further, communities that have adopted Australian ballot have not experienced noteworthy changes in town or school spending.
The nearby town of Middlesex faced a similar question several years ago. They took the question seriously and decided to explore the root causes of limited participation at Town Meeting and examine all options for addressing them with thoughtfulness and ingenuity. Ultimately, they decided to maintain the democratic tradition of Town Meeting while seeking to improve participation. Waitsfield should follow a similar process. There are many strategies for improving participation at Town Meeting. For example, the town could consider:
Holding Town Meeting during evening hours or on a weekend;
Providing on-site child care to make it easier for parents with young kids to attend;
Providing transportation for folks that may have a difficult time getting there on their own, especially during inclement weather;
Scheduling the town and school budget votes more closely together, at a more predictable time, so that voters could target their attendance;
Creating opportunities for voters who are homebound, or wintering in warmer climes, to participate electronically (the most recent version of Robert's Rules of Order includes a new section on electronic participation, and for the past five years Middlesex has made it possible for people to participate from distant locations using GoToMeeting, a free skype-like service).
These are just a few options – putting our heads together will surely yield other creative strategies for not only maintaining but enhancing this widely envied form of pure democracy.
In the book All Those in Favor, written by Middlesex town moderator Susan Clark and UVM political science professor Frank Bryan, the authors included an excerpt from a speech made by a Peacham voter, when that town rejected replacing Town Meeting with Australian ballot, that explains the inherent difference between the two forms of decision-making:
"There's a legitimate reason why town meeting requires us to be present to vote, and it's this: town meeting is not a ballot box or a voting booth, and it's not a state or federal election; town meeting is a body of citizen lawmakers, a local legislature and every one of us is a legislator. Like any other legislature, its members must be present to vote, and like any other legislature it can, should and must meet even when some of its members are absent."
Well said.
Shupe lives in Waitsfield (and moderates Waitsfield's Town Meeting)

The Royal Bengal Tiger Putting Up A Show
A Confrontation Happening
Birds Of A Feather Flocking Together
The Gait At Display
The Tusks Are Flying
Bandhavgarh Trails
Ask any tourist who has embarked on a wildlife tour to India and chances are that you will hear an exclamation reserved only for enlightenment. The lesser marketed but equally enchanting wildlife landscape to Africa, India is home to the most diverse fauna and flora you can encounter in Asia with the Royal Bengal Tiger being the crown piece of our wildlife on offer. Wildlife holiday destinations in India are just like the country itself; you never know what the next park might throw at you.
Tiger Safari India, a subsidiary of Nature Safari India, has now conducted more than 10,000+ jungle safaris across the length and breadth of India and Nepal to make it synonymous with wildlife tours in the country. Right from spotting a pack of tigers at Kanha in Madhya Pradesh (Central India) to gazing Siberian cranes at Bharatpur in North India we have planned and implemented luxury itineraries for guests from across the world that come here in pursuit of sights, hitherto unseen.
Our itineraries are crafted to the most precise customization you can wish for, because, of the diverse interests our guests might have in terms of their wildlife inclination. Our itineraries can include starting points from all major cities of the country (Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Rajasthan…landing anywhere in India would thus, not be a problem for you).
Our hand crafted photography safaris would be the answer to our click-friendly guests who wish to indulge in a round of photographing the brown striped magnificence of the tiger. Our adventure packages also include nearby attractions in them so as to have a holistic tour drawn out which goes beyond wildlife and adds a little bit of cultural dash to them.
The Royal Bengal Tiger has always been a creature which inspires awe, fear and myth around it. The precarious numbers to which it had dropped down in 1971 made our national government stand up and take cognizance of the fact that it needed National Reserves and tourism if the tiger had a future in the country. A bevy of national parks with responsible tourism came up and today we have a bustling tiger tourism industry which has made lives of the tiger as well as locals, a dignified one. Tiger watching from avid tourists helps keep poachers at bay and assists these locals in being a part of this sustainable tourism drive.
In 2014, we are expecting 1.2 million visitors to these parks, the most notable of which are Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Corbett, Ranthambore and Tadoba. These 5 parks count for 80% of the tiger population in the country and bookings for the 2014 leg have already begun. These safaris are either jeep safaris or elephant back safaris, though, we encourage our guests for an elephant back safari, because the vast expanse of these jungles is as full display from an elephant back.
Our chain of hotels and resorts in these lodges (Chitvan Jungle Lodge in Kanha and Tiger Dens in Bandhavgarh and Ranthambore) enable us to have complete control over your experience in these jungles and help us chart out diets and plans according to your interests as specified. Simply put, our end-to-end overseeing of your safari tour helps us be the best in the segment.
So get in touch with India's most loved wildlife tour operator. Trust us for this is going to be an education of a lifetime.
Drop in a line or two about your dream adventure and TSI will get back to you with a custom tour which will enthrall your senses like none other! Please fill in the form alongside and expect a reply at the earliest.
