An 18-year-old man was arrested for allegedly giving wedgies to people outside of a movie theater in Bradenton.
Bradenton police arrested Charles Ross on Sunday after he was accused of grabbing people by the back of the pants and pulling hard. Several victims said they were too embarrassed to press charges.
According to a police report, Ross likes to record video of his pranks and is known for harassing and annoying people in Manatee County.
Ross also posts the videos on YouTube, similar to a "Jackass"-style show, police said. One of his recent videos -- of Ross kissing strangers -- has gotten nearly 400,000 views.
Ross was booked into the Manatee County Jail on battery charges and was released Monday on a $750 bond. It is not yet known whether he has retained an attorney.

Buzz: Would Brett Clark Be A Good Addition?
At ESPN Insider, Craig Custance thinks that 35 year old defenseman Brett Clark would be a good fit for the Rangers in free agency.
Clark, a lefty shot, had two goals and 13 assists during the regular season and was a minus 26 for Tampa Bay.
He played 18:22 per night and was second in the league last season with 199 blocked shots.
Two seasons ago Clark had nine goals and 22 assists while playing 18:53 a game for Tampa. He has 681 games experience and had a cap hit last season of $1.5 million.
Custance writes, "He still has that booming slap shot and is capable of bouncing back offensively. He'd be a nice fit in New York where the Rangers' defense could use more depth."

I just officially registered for college (or what y'all Brits call Uni). This fall I will be going to California Institute of the Arts, better known as CalArts. CalArts is ranked as the best animation school in the world, and it is extremely competitive to get in. I will be in their Experimental Animation program.
Without this website, these forums, and all of the people on these forums I am fairly sure I wouldn't be where I am and I know I wouldn't be going to the best animation school in the world.I first came to this website 5 years ago as an animation hobbyist. There were so many people on this site just like me, many of whom don't post much, if at al. It was a whole little community of young animators who were all about the same age. We all had one thing in common, we had no idea what we were doing. But we learned together, some people had more experience than others and they would give tips while others asked questions. I learned how to make armatures, do lip sync, build sets, and create fun stories all from people on this website. It also helped to build confidence, the people on this site were some of the first to see any of my work, and give me critique and comments. I got advice that helped me improve, and I was able to discuss my work, and other people's work with like minded young animators. I would just like to say thank you to everyone on this site, even if they don't post anymore, people like thetopbun, conty, nofby, chocochoc, Vincent and all of the moderators for helping me to become a better animator and get to this point in my life. It isn't finished yet, I still have a whole life to live but with CalArts I know I will have a great start.
so yeah, maybe a bit sappy, but I mean every word of it!
Goodluck! You are right this site is a big help. you will be one of the people i will also mentio like this in the future. you are a kind, helpful, always there t help others and a very good animator. hope i would see you in aardman in the future. You are the person that really deserves this. Thank you also for trying to help. I hope i would be like you someday. Goodluck and i will pray for your welfare.
Goodluck again!
WandG Mastermind
Actually i am just about to enter highschool this year. will you still be active in this site?
Good luck both of you!
We've grown too fast... Best of luck! And that's really all we can give is luck, and a lot of work.
lad, everythings changing....
good luck, my fellow southerner!
Mason, I know you still have a few years yet, but have you started looking into any colleges? Are you going to pursue animation?
probably, I'm 15 so still have a little while.
Wow, off to college? I feel so old
Congratulations iantimothy, it's been a joy to watch your animations and see your work progress over the years. It's lovely to hear the site and its members have supported you along the way.
Have an amazing time at college and good luck for your future career in the animation business - I'll keep an eye out for you at the Oscars in a few years time! Keep in touch!
PS - I passed on the news to Kirsten and Ellie as well, they're both really pleased for you!
I just watched some of your animations, and they truly are amazing.
I'd just like to thank you for saving me as I have started an animation club at my school and in the first session I completely misjudged the timings and so the slideshow that I was hoping would last an hour only took 25 mins! After showing them all of my animations I didn't know what to do with all these 11 and 12 year olds! I then remembered your beaver creek series and I showed them as many episodes as it took to fill up the rest of the time! I wasn't sure if they liked it at first but I heard through the grapevine that they loved it and I heard them singing the theme tune!! So thank you so much!!!! Also well done on your college place!!
Aardman please take iantimothy to your studios!!! he is so good!!
Your animations are amazing!! I love "Day shift" the best.
Ian?! CalArts?! Wow! That is my dream! I'm only a freshman, but I am working so hard to get there. I feel so happy for you Ian, you have been one of my close friends on this site for the past 4 or 5 years. You really have no idea how inspiring your work is.
But really Ian, PLEASE keep in touch. IF I ever get there... Which is a longshot... Maybe we will meet eachother someday. And boy, would I look forward to that.
Harryboy, definitely. As you continue to develop, keep in touch. In a few years when you apply to CalArts please ask me any questions you want. I will still be in my third year when you apply, so if you get in you could be a freshman when I'm a senior.
I know it is a long way away but you really will want to start now developing your skills, but not only your skills your own personal vision as an artist. That is what CalArts is looking for as well.
I would really love to see you get in, but it is extremely competitive. I am assuming you would apply to the experimental animation program, they only take about 15 students a year. Could you post a link to your work, I may be able to help you figure out what you will want to work on The most.
Ian, you are a great person. You are going so far in life. As of right now, I'm making some armatures. I plan on doing some sort of claymation over the summer, I've really only been working with LEGOs lately.
Also, I wanted to ask you, in your latest work (Miles of Pennys) what method did you use to hold your figures up? Did you rig and mask, use tiedowns, earth magnets, or something else?
Actually, this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7ZEzHrx30M has some clay animation in it.
okay, so tonight I am going to watch some of your work, Will you mind if I give you some critiques?
For Penny she is tied down with some sticky tac stuff, the stuff that holds posters onto walls. Some brands don't work very well but i found a brand at an art store that is strong, but it doesn't stain or cause a problem. For the cat jumping off of the bed, or the little girl running up with the penny I used simple wire rigs.
And please, critique.
great! It appears that we have a smiliar style! Bow ties and suspenders!
Its all about lookin' shabby.
Hey Ian,
Long time no speak! I've been watching your continued progress within the world of animation with great interest - it's outstanding to see how far you have come! Still waiting for another Beaver Creek episode, though! Looks like your doing incredibly well on the festival circuit and a place at CalArts is a massive acheivment. Congratulations! I don't use this site as much, but I sometimes come and have a quick poke around! I agree, all those years ago, posting video after video, bouncing feedback back and fourth - so much fun learning and exploring this incredible artform! Good Luck and keep in touch!
Yeah Ian when will you be releasing a new episode of beaver creek? it is so cooool! XD
Lawrence Vincent! How are you?! You're in school for animation as well arent you?
W&G Mastermind, I don't have any Beaver Creek in the works right now, I have been busy with a bunch of other projects. But you never know, I might get back to it at some point.
That'd be awesome. For the past 4 years I've been inspired by it. Maybe at CalArts they'll let you do a project of your choice sometime...
Then I will be looking forward for it. Goodluck again!
Can someone post a picturre of paraffin wax here?
ummm sorry that msg must be posted in the animation thread. sorry
hay ian!
can you accept my buddy request?
Hey Ian, sorry for late response. I'm good, thanks! Yeah, I'm doing animation here in the UK. Still doing stop frame but also doing a lot of After Effects 2D/3D stuff.
Currently shooting my films solely on green screen and extending the set around them using After Effects etc - loving it! Doing mostly charcater based pieces now! Just uploaded a little demo reel on YouTube from my favourite stuff from the past 6 or 7 months - still learning everyday. Critique always welcome!
Hope all is well!
College? Thats amazing! Good Luck!!

Read: Steve Fogarty Took A Big Step Forward Last Season
Rangers 2011 third round pick Steven Fogarty is one of three members of the organization to be invited to the US World Junior evaluation camp in Lake Placid.
At the United States of Hockey, Chris Peters writes that Fogarty is one of the interesting prospects at the camp and he could find himself in the mix to make the team if the two-way game he displayed in the BCHL last season translates.
Peters notes that Fogarty's development took a big step last season in the BCHL where he had 82 points.
He is 6-2, 194 and was listed as the Rangers "break out" prospect from this season.
He is the ninth ranked Rangers prospect by TSN.
Brady Skjei and JT Miller have also been invited.
Adam Rotter: It seems like only a matter of time before the Derek Stepan comparisons start to fall in. A scoring center from Minnesota who is heading to college (Notre Dame) and has a chance to represent the USA at the World Juniors. If he is close to the player that Stepan is and shown that he can be, the Rangers will have another real find in Fogarty.

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Item # CST0739
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Men's Jackets we have in stock.
Castelli Compatto Lite Jacket $0.00
Don't take weather protection lightly.
In naming the Compatto Lite Jacket, Castelli doesn't throw around the term 'lite' very, well, lightly. Constructed using Gore's lightest 2-layer, Japanese-made Vega fabric, you get wind and splash protection worthy of the Gore name, at a fraction of the usual weight, which results in quite possibly in the lightest jacket Castelli has ever put their name on.
- Critical seams are taped ensuring you stay dry where it counts
- Flip-up collar provides additional wind protection on those screamer descents
- Chest pocket houses a media player, or opens for quick ventilation
- It goes without saying that the Compatto will roll up nicely for easy, compact stashing in your jersey pocket

Thank you

Reasons I love this amazing jacket!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm a very warm blooded person and find most jackets to be too warm.
I bought this as a wind breaker/ lite jacket.
-Breathable, -weighs nothing- warm enough- can be folded to in my underseat bike pouch-doesn't wrinkle- fits perfect- This little jacket is now my favorite cycling piece of clothing! You will love it!

CFM stands for cubic foot per minute, a non-standard unit of measurement to express volumetric flow rate over time. This material is rated at 0cfm, essentially wind proof.

Civil War walking tour of Lake Forest Cemetery
Jeanette Weiden, the local history librarian at Loutit District Library; and Jane Ladley, curator services director for the Tri-Cities Historical Museum, led a nearly two-hour walk highlighting the Civil War veterans buried at the Lake Forest Cemetery on Wednesday morning.
Weiden said there are about 110 Civil War soldiers buried at the Grand Haven cemetery, and the walk highlighted 25 of them. She and Ladley discussed well-known names such as Akeley, Boyden and Ferry, and many lesser-known men who served during the War Between the States.
They will give a second walking tour at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 10.

Installation Guide
Local Navigation
Planning a BlackBerry MVS installation
- A standalone installation on a physical computer or a virtual machine
- A standalone installation on the computer that also hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (this option is only for small businesses)
- A high availability
installation, which is made up of two standalone installations that are
associated as a high availability pair through the
Console (this is the recommended option)
All planning information assumes that the BlackBerry MVS Server instances and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances are in the same BlackBerry Domain. That is, they all share the same BlackBerry Configuration Database.
A BlackBerry Configuration Database must be available before you install a BlackBerry MVS Server. This means that you must have at least one BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed before you can install the BlackBerry MVS because the BlackBerry Configuration Database is created during the installation of a BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
Only one BlackBerry MVS Server can be installed on one Windows Server instance.
If you install the BlackBerry MVS Server in a virtual environment, the virtual instance should perform as well as a computer with two Intel Xeon 2.0 GHz processors with 4 GB of RAM and two drives that are configured as RAID 1 or better.
For more information about BlackBerry MVS architecture and components, see the BlackBerry MVS Feature and Technical Overview.
During the BlackBerry MVS Server installation process, you might need to consult the administrators of your organization's PBX, voice mail system, LAN, security network, or BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
If you install additional BlackBerry MVS Server instances in the same BlackBerry Domain, you must load the security information files that the BlackBerry MVS generates during the installation process.

The Student Bar Association, in addition to many other School of Law student organizations, recognizes the importance of philanthropic involvement within the St. Louis community. The following highlights a few of the events the SBA has recently sponsored.
American Red Cross Blood Drive
For several years the SBA has sponsored blood drives in conjunction with the American Red Cross. The Missouri-Illinois Blood Services Region annually distributes over 500,000 blood products to patients in need, relying on about 1,200 donations of whole blood every day in order to meet the needs of patients. Just one donation can help save up to 3 lives! Blood received from donations is used to treat people with anemia, transplant patients and automobile accident victims. The blood products are also an important part of treating cancer patients, people suffering from shock and serious burns, in addition to helping patients with blood disorders. Unfortunately, although 60% of the general public is eligible to donate blood, only 5% give. The blood drive is an important opportunity for School of Law students, faculty and administration to make a life-saving difference.

16 U.S. Code § 1461 - National Estuarine Research Reserve System
(a) Establishment of System
There is established the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (hereinafter referred to in this section as the "System") that consists of—
(2) each estuarine area designated as a national estuarine reserve under subsection (b) of this section.
Each estuarine sanctuary referred to in paragraph (1) is hereby designated as a national estuarine reserve.
(b) Designation of national estuarine reserves
After April 7, 1986, the Secretary may designate an estuarine area as a national estuarine reserve if—
(1) the Governor of the coastal state in which the area is located nominates the area for that designation; and
(2) the Secretary finds that—
(A) the area is a representative estuarine ecosystem that is suitable for long-term research and contributes to the biogeographical and typological balance of the System;
(B) the law of the coastal state provides long-term protection for reserve resources to ensure a stable environment for research;
(C) designation of the area as a reserve will serve to enhance public awareness and understanding of estuarine areas, and provide suitable opportunities for public education and interpretation; and
(c) Estuarine research guidelines
The Secretary shall develop guidelines for the conduct of research within the System that shall include—
(1) a mechanism for identifying, and establishing priorities among, the coastal management issues that should be addressed through coordinated research within the System;
(2) the establishment of common research principles and objectives to guide the development of research programs within the System;
(3) the identification of uniform research methodologies which will ensure comparability of data, the broadest application of research results, and the maximum use of the System for research purposes;
(4) the establishment of performance standards upon which the effectiveness of the research efforts and the value of reserves within the System in addressing the coastal management issues identified in paragraph (1) may be measured; and
(5) the consideration of additional sources of funds for estuarine research than the funds authorized under this chapter, and strategies for encouraging the use of such funds within the System, with particular emphasis on mechanisms established under subsection (d) of this section.
In developing the guidelines under this section, the Secretary shall consult with prominent members of the estuarine research community.
(d) Promotion and coordination of estuarine research
The Secretary shall take such action as is necessary to promote and coordinate the use of the System for research purposes including—
(1) requiring that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in conducting or supporting estuarine research, give priority consideration to research that uses the System; and
(e) Financial assistance
(1) The Secretary may, in accordance with such rules and regulations as the Secretary shall promulgate, make grants—
(A) to a coastal state—
(i) for purposes of acquiring such lands and waters, and any property interests therein, as are necessary to ensure the appropriate long-term management of an area as a national estuarine reserve,
(ii) for purposes of operating or managing a national estuarine reserve and constructing appropriate reserve facilities, or
(2) Financial assistance provided under paragraph (1) shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary considers necessary or appropriate to protect the interests of the United States, including requiring coastal states to execute suitable title documents setting forth the property interest or interests of the United States in any lands and waters acquired in whole or part with such financial assistance.
(A) The amount of the financial assistance provided under paragraph (1)(A)(i) with respect to the acquisition of lands and waters, or interests therein, for any one national estuarine reserve may not exceed an amount equal to 50 percent of the costs of the lands, waters, and interests therein or $5,000,000, whichever amount is less.
(B) The amount of the financial assistance provided under paragraph (1)(A)(ii) and (iii) and paragraph (1)(B) may not exceed 70 percent of the costs incurred to achieve the purposes described in those paragraphs with respect to a reserve; except that the amount of the financial assistance provided under paragraph (1)(A)(iii) may be up to 100 percent of any costs for activities that benefit the entire System.
(f) Evaluation of System performance
(1) The Secretary shall periodically evaluate the operation and management of each national estuarine reserve, including education and interpretive activities, and the research being conducted within the reserve.
(2) If evaluation under paragraph (1) reveals that the operation and management of the reserve is deficient, or that the research being conducted within the reserve is not consistent with the research guidelines developed under subsection (c) of this section, the Secretary may suspend the eligibility of that reserve for financial assistance under subsection (e) of this section until the deficiency or inconsistency is remedied.
(3) The Secretary may withdraw the designation of an estuarine area as a national estuarine reserve if evaluation under paragraph (1) reveals that—
(A) the basis for any one or more of the findings made under subsection (b)(2) of this section regarding that area no longer exists; or
(g) Report
The Secretary shall include in the report required under section 1462 of this title information regarding—

Not everyone here uses LDD or LDraw or the other CAD programs designed for building brick toys, but for those that do and want to do only LDD type stuff, I've created a forum to do so.
I have divided the forum into three main categories: Sci-Fi, Historical and Fantasy. This way we don't have to go hunting around for that "cool thread with the poop launcher".
The forum I've created is not at all a replacement for Brikwars, nor will it ever come close to the wonderful carnage that is Brikwars, but for those who can't afford LEGO's or just want to show off their LDD stuff, jbbattles is just a place to do that.
Whether you hate it or like the idea, let me know.

Replenish Hydrating Facial Cleanser
This product has a milky texture that slips over skin and removes makeup efficiently.
Exfoliating Facial Cleanser
This is a standard water-soluble cleanser that contains 15% glycolic acid.
Add to Faves?
Vivité At-A-Glance
Strengths: Fragrance-free; good selection of pH-correct AHA products with effective amounts of glycolic acid; good water-soluble cleansers.
Weaknesses: Expensive; the sole sunscreen option does not provide sufficient UVA protection; using the company's recommended routine will result in AHA overload; jar packaging won't keep ingredients stable.
Vivité (pronounced 'Vee-va-tay') is a small skin-care line developed and owned by Allergan, the pharmaceutical company behind Botox and the lash-enhancing drug Latisse, among other products. This isn't the first time Allergan has forayed into the skin-care market; they previously partnered with Clinique on that company's "Medical" product line. Clinique Medical is medical in name only, and there isn't anything medicinal or pharmaceutical about Vivité, either. These products aren't akin to getting dermatologist-strength results at home. Besides, dermatologist-strength skin-care products are not sold without a prescription, so the whole notion is nothing more than a marketing sham. So, please don't buy into that hype.
The main reason to consider Vivité products is if you're interested in well-formulated, pH-correct alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) products. Several Vivité products contain effective blends of glycolic acid and ammonium glycolate. Although glycolic acid is a great way to exfoliate skin and offers multiple benefits for sun-damaged skin, it isn't the only ingredient you should focus on. Skin care at any age is much more complex than simply supplying one key ingredient. For example, despite glycolic acid's multiple benefits, it cannot protect your skin from sunlight, it doesn't rebuild skin's healthy barrier on its own, and it cannot defend skin from oxidative damage. Think of skin care as you would a healthy diet, if you ate only one type of food you wouldn't be healthy for long; skin acts the same way. Skin is a complex organ that requires a complex array of substances to function in a younger manner and to be as healthy and normal as possible.
Allergan took an interesting angle with Vivité, using something called GLX Technology™. They have the patent on this and they claim it will partially neutralize the glycolic acid so that the acid releases into the skin over an extended period of time and at a pH closer to that of our skin, which is about 5 to 5.5. While that sounds like a gentler way to use AHAs (because the pH is closer to that of our skin), research shows that AHAs have optimal exfoliation when formulated in a base with a pH less than 4. As it turns out, all of the Vivité products with glycolic acid have a pH of 3.8, which means you can ignore the point-of-difference about pH and GLX Technology™—it certainly seems that Allergan did—and be assured that these products will exfoliate as claimed (Sources: Dermatologic Surgery, February 2005, pages 149–154; and Cosmetic Dermatology, October 2001, pages 15–18).
Allergan wants you to think their AHA products have an edge, but they don't. However, their leave-on AHA products will certainly exfoliate skin and also provide AHAs' other benefits, though some precautions are warranted, as you'll see in the reviews.

Seattle fire investigators have confirmed that a condo fire on Phinney Ridge on Aug. 1, 2004, was arson. No one was injured.
" 'Hell night,' or 'Devil's Night,' as we've come to know it in our own time, is a sort of arsonists holiday where we seek a truly terrifying outbreak of fires, specifically in urban areas and specifically by urban youth," said professor Adam Brooke Davis, an English professor and folklorist at Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo.
Chief Fire Investigator Bob Pollard, left, and Chief Fire Marshal Ronald Brown peer into the charred remains of an arson fire in Memphis, Tenn.
Bomb-and-arson investigators Randy Lipford, left, and Steve McClure looking over the scene of a fire that claimed five lives in Lawton, Tenn.
Memphis, Tenn., firefighter Ron Clement works with other firefighters to put out a house fire in Memphis. The fire destroyed the vacant home that was slated for renovation, and, according to Battalion Chief John Distretti, appeared to have been intentionally set.
Dian Williams, founder of the Philadelphia-based Center for Arson Research, said most hell-night fires are set by groups of teenage or young adult males, often after heavy drinking. "They use the ambiance of the hell-night event to support one another in really dangerous, really stupid behaviors, which involves setting fires," said Williams.

Wonder Showzen
If Big Bird spread avian flu along the bubbly babytalk cobblestones of Sesame Street and wiped out everyone but Oscar (sorry Snuffy), in the ashes of the world capitol of wholesomeness would stand Wonder Showzen. A smartass spitball in the eye of goody goody kiddie TV, Wonder Showzen is homeless and itchy in the land of make believe. It follows no rules, stopping shows halfway through and running them in reverse and humiliating helpless civilians with sarcastic puppets. And Wonder Showzen does that dirtiness with an all-star cast. Cameos from the too-cool indie underground include Amy Poehler, Amy Sedaris, Dick Gregory, Judah Friedlander, Rick Springfield and Devendra Banhart. Flavor Flav tells bedtime stories, John Oates (Hall & Oates) does an anti-war duet with Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) and David Cross gets in bed with Zach Galifianakis and Will Oldham. It's a free for all. And it's educational! And did we mention they got puppets?! Meet Chauncey, Clarence, Him, Wordsworth, Sthugar, Letter N, Letter P, - hell, the whole dysfunctional alphabet - Middle America, Mother Nature, Bootleg Puppets and newscaster A.P. Gibraltar. And please, don't take what they say personally. Some of them were in 'Nam. Need more? From irreverent political street interviews hosted by smart-mouthed "Beat Kids" to Mr. Body and D.O.G.O.B.G.Y.N., children's letters to Jesus to gynecological cartoons, Wonder Showzen is downright dirty. Nasty. Sick. Wrong. Totally gonzo amazing. Watch away your values, and see super-secret bonus clips only on MTV2.

Riddle Brook Elementary School staff helps prepare boy for TV ad appearance
Carter Murai tries on some reindeer antlers with help from his aid, Laurie Kroeger, at Riddle Brook Elementary School. (COURTESY)
BEDFORD - Thanks to the help of those that care for him, a Bedford first-grader has been cast in a national TV ad.
Seven-year-old Carter Murai has Down's Syndrome, and his parents weren't sure he'd be considered for the part in a Care.com ad that began running last week.
A friend of the family had seen an ad that sought a child with Down's Syndrome and the Murais took a chance.
"I wasn't sure how well he was going to do with all of these lights and cameras," said dad Marc, of Carter's audition in a Boston studio. "But he did fine."
Carter was cast in the ad for babysitter and nanny search company Care.com. When it came time to practice his lines, though, Marc said Carter had some difficulty.
"He would speed through them really fast, you couldn't really understand what he was saying," he said.
Carter's speech teachers at Riddle Brook Elementary School came to the rescue, offering him a technique that would help.
The words of Carter's lines were written on long strips of paper, and those coaching Carter would point to the words he would have to say, thereby controlling the cadence and speed of the words.
"After doing that for a couple of days, he was able to do it," Marc said.
Christine Bowman, a speech and language pathologist at Riddle Brook Elementary School, said helping Carter practice for the commercial helped to reinforce the lessons he'd been learning at school.
"He's a fast talker. He works a lot on his sound production, as well as his speed," Bowman said.
Bowman said the special education team at Riddle Brook works with Carter throughout his day to reinforce his speech production, and preparing for the commercial gave him a concrete goal.
"It was a really nice opportunity for him to put his strategies into place for something that was meaningful to him," she said.
Once Carter mastered the lines, a childhood rite of passage complicated things further - Carter lost his two front teeth, just before filming was set to begin.
"We were worried he wouldn't be able to enunciate at all," said Marc, and again, Carter's speech therapists came to the rescue.
"They worked with him again, and he did great," he added.
In the commercial, Carter added some words in sign language, which he had been using since he was a baby.
"It was neat to see him speak the lines and be understood, but also to see him throw the sign language in," said Marc.
Bowman said the staff was happy to hear about Carter's role in the ad.
"We thought it was very exciting," she said. "He's such a great, engaging little boy."
Marc said Carter, who loves to dance and perform, has been enjoying seeing himself on TV, and that it wouldn't have happened without the help of the Riddle Brook staff.
"They're really dedicated in what they do," he said. "And this is just a great example of how successful these children can be with school programs."

POTSDAM A three-mile stretch of dirt road has sparked a debate about the importance of the regions history.
Vernon L. Tunk Bartlett lived on Pig Street when he was a child, from 1929 to 1936, walking to school with his dog every day. Now, some members of the Norwood Lake Association say they want to change the name of the street, which connects River Road and Route 345.
They dont like the name Pig Street associated with the lake, said Mr. Bartlett, who now lives in Norwood.
He remembers the stories his grandmother told him when he was a child, of the soldiers from the early 1800s who named the street because of the large number of pigs kept by the farmers who lived on the road.
Norwood Mayor and head of the Norwood Lake Association James H. McFaddin said members have discussed changing the name, but there are no immediate plans to take action.
Several of the streets near the lake were renamed in the 1980s to make them more tourist-friendly as Norwood tried to make the lake a more attractive place to visit. Thus Cemetery Road became Lakeshore Drive, but Pig Street remained unchanged.
We gave them names that we thought were appropriate for the area, Mr. McFaddin said.
There was talk of changing Pig Street as well, but it never happened. Now the issue is being discussed again.
Id rather not see it happen, said Lloyd E. Besaw, who both lives on Pig Street and runs a sawmill there, the roads only business. People dont know the history behind this area.
Mr. Besaw said he can still use his metal detector to find antique silverware along the road, left behind by the soldiers who travelled it as part of a military turnpike during marches between Plattsburgh and Ogdensburg.
There are only 12 homes on Pig Street, along with Mr. Besaws sawmill.
Mr. Besaw and Mr. Bartlett agree that the roads history should be taken into account before any decision is made regarding it.
All I wanted to do was get across to people the way it got this name, Mr. Bartlett said.
Mr. McFaddin said any plans to change the name would need the approval of those who live there.
We would need the support of the residents who live on the street, he said.
According to Mr. Besaw, thats not likely to happen.
Theyre trying to promote the area, which is good, but dont fix something that aint broke, he said.

Mysterious Chuba China Pattern!!
I have a teacup and saucer that I cannot find any information on.
The bottom of the cup is stamped "CHUBU CHINA, HAND PAINTED" "CHERRY" and "3541". The challenge is that every list I have found does not have a pattern number 3541, nor is the painting on the pieces the "Cherry" pattern that is listed. The following is a discription of the pieces:
White with gold gilding on the scalloped edges, feet of cup, and handle. Gold ring about .75 inch from rim of plate and bottom of cup. The artwork is a red, white and blue arched ribbon with the letters B.F.C.L through it, inside/underneath it a rainbow type design surrounding a traingle with the letter "r". Underneath this is a gold bar that is made of hands and arms intertwined, with a gold chain leading to a pot
Please help!

Hum, I can't find it either, but it looks to be a a piece designed for a club or fraternity, perhaps? This company did produce such special orders. I found a similar item in the Worthopedia for a group called "The Rebekah Club" which is kinda ironic as that is my name, and I had no idea there was a club named after me. Anyway, this cup an saucer and another plate in the set sold for $20 in 2011. I will ask someone else to take a peek. Have you also sent this photo and information to Replacements.com?

Based on the images this cup was probably made for the REBEKAHS Fraternal order, the Womans division of the Oddfellows lodge or some other order. Here's a link for you: International Association of Rebekah Assemblies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fraternal orders items appeal to a smaller group of collectors than the general Antique market, as they often go unrecognized as to what they are.

Chubu is the name of an area in Japan. There is a post W.W. 2 company that put out china and used the name Chubu so perhaps it is made in Japan by the Chubu China company. Here is an example of one that was made during the U.S. occupation of Japan, http://www.the4cs.com/~cathy/MIOJ/
Yours would probably be newer so it won't have the "occupied Japan" words.

Submission DARPA wants to dot ocean floor with network of robotic pods that can spy, explor->
coondoggie writes: "This plan sounds a bit like a science fiction scenario where alien devices were planted in the ground thousands of years ago only to be awoken at some predetermined date to destroy the world. Only in this case it's the scientists at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency who want to develop a system of submersible pods that could reside in the world's oceans (presumably not in anyone's territorial waters) and be activated for any number of applications days, months or even years later."

The Houston Texans are on top of the AP Pro32 poll for the second consecutive week as they prepare for the Monday night spotlight when they visit the Jets at MetLife Stadium – the same place the Niners just handed New York the third-worst home loss in franchise history.
The Texans became the first team to retain the No. 1 spot after a resounding 38-14 rout of the Tennessee Titans to remain unbeaten in four games.
The other two unbeatens, Atlanta and Arizona, needed game-deciding field goals to stay perfect.
A week after becoming the fourth team in as many weeks to ascend to No. 1, Houston received 11 first-place votes and 382 points Tuesday from the 12-person panel of media members who regularly cover the NFL.
Atlanta remained second with 369 points, and Arizona was fifth with one first-place vote and 342 points.
All eyes will be on the Texans come Monday night, when quarterback Matt Schaub and defensive end J.J. Watt lead them against the Jets in New Jersey. The Jets dropped five places to 23rd after their lopsided loss to the 49ers, who moved up a spot to fourth, just behind Baltimore.
''The Texans are making it look easy right now and have shown themselves to be the most well-rounded team in the NFL,'' said John Lynch of Fox Sports, and ''J.J. Watt is having an MVP type season.''
ESPN's Chris Berman chimed in that the Texans have ''answered every test with authority.''
The Falcons beat Carolina 30-28 on Matt Bryant's 40-yard field goal with 5 seconds left.
''Something special happening with the Falcons,'' said Rich Gannon of CBS Sports/Sirius XM, ''and the players believe it as well.''
The Cardinals rallied against Miami to force overtime on Kevin Kolb's 15-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts with 22 seconds left, then won 24-21 on Jay Feely's 46-yard field goal 6:31 into OT.
''They have won eight in a row at home,'' said the Chicago Tribune's Dan Pompei, who voted Arizona No. 1 for the second week in a row. ''Even if a lot of the wins have been ugly, they still count.''
''If the NFL conducted its coach of the year balloting at the end of September, Ken Whisenhunt would be the slam-dunk choice,'' said the Dallas Morning News' Rick Gosselin of the Cardinals coach.
New England was sixth, followed by Green Bay with Philadelphia up four places to eighth after its 19-17 win over the New York Giants, who tumbled seven spots to 11th.
''The Eagles are the NFL's shakiest 3-1 team with all three victories coming by a combined total of four points. No matter. They're still 3-1,'' said Alex Marvez of Foxsports.com.
Winless New Orleans was 26th, up a spot after its 28-27 loss to the Packers.
''Not even an impassioned speech from Drew Brees at a midweek team meeting was enough to get the Saints in the win column,'' said Bob Glauber of Newsday. ''Stunningly, the season's just about over after a month.''
Winless Cleveland was 32nd and last for the second straight week.
''That's 13 losses in their last 14 games, and, no, that's never a good sign for a head coach about to gain a new boss,'' said Clark Judge of CBSSports.com.
Here's what the nationwide panel of voters had to say this week about the 49ers, with where each panelist ranked the Niners in parentheses.
Chris Berman (ESPN, 3): Win by shutout in case you really thought the D was in a slump.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 2): That was a dominant defensive performance against Jets, and now the 49ers have a three-game homestand.
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 4): Beat down of the Jets reaffirms that this team is legit and can dominate on the road.
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 3): Jim Harbaugh's decision to stay on East Coast time for the week pays off. After hanging out in Youngstown, Ohio following loss to Vikings, 49ers obliterate the Jets. They did it all, including showing the Jets how the wildcat's supposed to work.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 4): The 3-1 49ers play their next three games at home, starting Sunday with Buffalo.
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 5): I don't care what happened in Minnesota. This is a team that won't go away.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 3): See what happens when you get these guys mad?
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 5): They shut out the Jets on the road and add the dangerous version of wildcat to their bag of tricks.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 3): After a hiccup in Minnesota, the 49ers took out their frustrations on the lowly Jets.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 4): As evidenced by a 34-0 thrashing of the New York Jets, another trip to Youngstown, Ohio between early-season road games for practice and player bonding once again did the 49ers some good.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 5): Now they get three straight at home and could be 7-1 at the midway point.

By Fareed Zakaria, CNN
Kofi Annan's resignation as the U.N. and Arab League joint special envoy is a blow to any hopes that the situation in Syria could go down a stable path. It has also dashed hopes that an early route could be found to an inclusive government that could oversee decreasing levels of violence. Annan represented the possibility of something positive for Syria, and his departure is a sign that things are going to continue to spiral downwards.
There are two basic problems in Syria – an internal and an external political divide. The internal divide is evident every day. We have a brutal regime that is using maximum force, one that is making no concessions and that is simply holding onto power by any means possible. That is the principle problem in Syria, and one that can only be resolved if Bashar al-Assad and the people around him are deposed from power.
But there's also a sectarian problem in Syria as is evidenced by the fact that minorities, who comprise 40 percent of the population, don't seem to have joined the opposition. The Alawites, of course, who make up about 12 percent of Syria, are sticking with the Alawite-dominated regime. But the Christians appear to be doing so as well, for fear of what would happen to them in a majoritarian and more Islamist Syria. Other Syrian minorities such as the Kurds also don't seem part of the Free Syria Army.
Right now, the battle is between an Alawite regime and a Sunni opposition. If this conflict really does become increasingly sectarian in nature, then we really may have even greater problems ahead. Think of the example of Iraq, where a Sunni-dominated regime was toppled, but then unleashed sectarian conflict.
What Syria needs is an end to the Assad regime but then some kind of political deal between the old and new guard. The core elements of the regime would have to step down or be ousted. But the opposition would also need to accept a post-al-Assad scenario in which some elements of the old system are kept in place, if only so that those elements don't fight until the bitter end.
The second divide is the external divide, between the West on one side and China, Russia and Iran on the other. The Chinese, Russians and most importantly the Iranians are supporting the regime for different reasons. For the Iranians, Syria is their strongest ally and proxy in the region. Tehran is all in – it has bet on this regime, which is a source of regional influence, and so it has tried to prop it up. There's a sectarian element to this – the Iranians see the Alawites as a quasi-Shiite regime. (Incidentally, this is why the Shiite prime minister of Iraq has also been somewhat supportive of the Syrian regime, an irony for those expecting him to support the American – or the humanitarian – position.)
The Russians and Chinese, meanwhile, support the regime as much as anything because they don't believe the West should have the authority to topple regimes it doesn't like. They feel that the West exceeded its mandate in Libya and, most of all, they don't like the idea of establishing a principle of international law under which if a regime is suppressing its own people, outside forces can come in and topple it. After all, what happens the next time there are protests against the Kremlin in Moscow?
In fact, the Russians don't really have very deep ties to the Syrians, while the Chinese have almost none. With this in mind, you'd have thought it might be possible to have the Security Council come together and put more pressure on the Syrian regime, something which would then isolate Iran as the lone sponsor of the brutal crackdown. But clearly the Russians and Chinese have dug their heels in.
So, where does that leave us? I've always believed that Syria would see a slow, painful burn. The regime will not fall easily and there's no easy international intervention that that will make it fall. And when it does fall, it is unlikely that we will see a relatively stable transition to a post-al-Assad democratic Syria. Instead, what you're likely to see is more of the same – a very messy situation that may well resemble the civil war in Lebanon in the 1980s. Then, we had a conflict that went on for years without a clear resolution and left the country to become a staging ground for perpetual violence. I fear the same fate might befall Syria, too.
If I were Al-Assad I wouldn't buy any green bananas. Syria is going to be more like Lybia than Lebanon. Quiet behind the seen support through Saudi Arabia and Turkey has helped Obama accomplish what he wants without the political risk. The rats are deserting the sinking Al-Assad ship, I give Assad less than six months before he joins Gahdafi in his everlasting reward for his many good deeds on thie earth.
Syria may need a Boris Yeltzin, someone beloved by the military, but willng to risk his life standing on a tank and ordering his men to point their tanks at the Parliament. Russia should be helping Assad to get out safe with his family!
Inept leaders cause a lot of hardship for countries and just like the USA's recovery from the leadership of G W Bush it will take years for Syria to recover from al-Assad.
He too may even describe presiding over the downfall of his country as "awesome".
Mr W Bush has no problem using this word to describe his tenure at the White House even though the $2T tax break (handout) he gifted to the super wealthy – a group that he described as his base – was used to close 50,000 factories and move millions of jobs abroad while the US job loss rate crescendoed to a breath-taking rate of over 4 million per year at the end of his term. He started two wars (creating thousands of dangerous new terrorists) hammering the final nails into the economic coffin – wars that brought massive *taxpayer* cash windfalls to many in this base.
Now his party want to replace W with Romney who not only stashed his tax break in foreign banks along with his fortune to avoid more taxes but also, in his financial transactions, bet against the US economy, accelerating it's demise. He has decided to hide the tax returns that outline his idea of patriotism – an idea borne of loyalty to international corporations rather than to his country. Romney now sees a lot more low hanging fruit to pick for himself and this same base and the White House is the perfect foil for his endeavor.
And like al-Assad, Romney has millions of supporters.
GPS's giving space to all sides of a world issue does not mean he takes a sympaty to any party. My one-sided opinion has been changed several times by many articles and decent discussions here. This is not a forum to steam off but to make a constructive contribution.
What will happen after Assad is gone? I donot personally care for Assad however we have a saying in Turkish "Those who come makes you wish for the ones gone by".
I don't know which propaganda believe, the one that we read in the West or this other one.
They are so different. It is like is another story. I tend to believe that no one is telling the whole truth.
Here you go Zakaria for your Free Syrian Army, you probably enjoy what they are doing http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9104253045
It does not matter you are Muslim or Christan , god made no difference while creating then why does we look for differences.Killing someone never does any good to someone.The only thing it does is worsening the situation.
Largely agree and Spot-on Zakaria for mentioning Russians indeed.
Russians, as it has been reported, are sending their naval vessels to their overseas base
at Syrian port of Tartuswhich hints that Russians have sensed something.
Some reports say Tlass will be the next man taking post-Assad transitional government
but given the situation it won't make much difference.
Interesting to note how current Syrian conflict and its aftermath are
all well predicted in the Bible and if it is so,
then we can expect it to be quite intricated of which can be found
here: http://su.pr/86MF11
So will Syria be like 1980's (and till this date) Lebanon? I think it would be worse.
Can you state exactly where this revelation is stated in the bible?
I beg to differ with you Zakaria. The conditions in which the conflict is being played out in Syria are entirely different than those in Lebanon. Lebanon's war was secular and ethnic in nature where multiple ethnic groups were fighting each other Christian against Christian, Muslim against Muslim... However, that is not the case in Syria where all ethnic groups are fighting to oust a dictator!
You got that wrong, you mean the Syrian people are fighting the Arabs from the Gulf to stop them from invading. How do you explain Turkish, Libyan,Tunisian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Iraki, Saoudi, Qatari, Pakistani, American, Israeli and European fighting in Syria??!?!?
Those are good Samaritans who are saving the Syrian people from Bashar's meat grinder...
This is an Arab League problem. Let them deal with it. I just am trying to figure out how Syrians can blame the U.S. or Israel for their problems.
Either way it will end, as it is planned, hindu's criminals of the wast assume,it will work to their advantage, rest assured, fist phase of war is to eliminate hindu's, criminals appointed by hinu's criminals of the west, as leaders of Muslim world after seconf world war , and next will be elimination of hindu Jew's, criminal secular s and their hindu Judaism, filthy self center ism, denial of truth absolute along with their hindu gentiles terrorist slaves of the west, for peace, Islam among humanity.
Assad/Bath party will survive because army is loyal to Assad. KSA and Qatar started on behest of USA to downgrade military capability of Syria( help Israel). One by one all armies of 73 war are decimated( Iraq, Libiya, now Syria). Now Iran plus Basra plus Damascus plus Southern Lebanon is almost Iranian axis. Any fragmentation will lead to break up of Iraq since Kurds will unit to fight against Turkey. Unless there is wholesale invasion by Turks, nothing will happen since part of lebanon and [art of Iraq still supports Syria. If there is regional war, Shia of gulf will rise and KSA will burn also. I can see every one killing each other for 5-10 years and Israel and US will pick up the oil fields, that is why Russia does not want US domination. What out for India in the mix when whole region gets into rat hole, Indians have enough population to control UAE and others.
It makes Pakistan the lynch pin, not so easy to crack this nut, nuclear Pakistan is the balancing force in the region, and an obstacle to implement hindu criminal designs of hindu's, terrorist of the west and the east to spread hindu Judaism, filthy secularism around the globe, working very had to destabilize Pakistan.
Who has contributed to the Libanization of Syria? The West did and this knucklehead Fareed Zakaria along with CNN has its share as well. They've turned prosperous country into a living hell and nightmare. They are supporting Al Qaeda terrorists despite of public and loud reports that they are there, they are supporting explosions, killing of innocent civilians, they are supporting everything that should not be supported. Syrian people will never see the peace again as did Iraqi, Afghani and Libyan people.. Unless Russia makes bold statement NOW. Perpetual turmoil in the region is their ultimate goal so they keep quietly exploiting country's natural resources and the same time prepare ground for invasion in another oil rich stronghold – Iran. Wake up people!
You might like to consider that Syrians and their government is what happened to Syria. Blaming every body else is unreal.
i think this notion of China and Russia being against any real resolution in the UN is clearly being misread here. its important to consider that China has one of the biggest number of Muslims residing in any country in the world. Russia on the other hand has Chechnya right at its boarders, which is predominantly Muslims. After seeing how a youth revolution was overtaken by The Muslim Brotherhoods of countries like Egypt, Libya, Morocco (although not a revolution here) its logical to see how China and Russia would be worried about their own set of revolutions, uprisings, protest, etc... seeing the Muslims gaining ground and becoming stronger it would be in their best interest to try to limit it. That is the major reason for their stand against any action in Syria, not to be just defiant against the West.
Ah another middle-brow editorial by Fareed Zakaria. Can we get someone who actually knows something about International Relations writing these articles CNN?
the big difference between syria and lebanon is that syria has a totalitarin despot as a ruler, and lebanon was a democracy
Very good and thought provoking article.
I am a useless piece of camel dung. I post anti American, anti GB, anti semite, anti India, anti modern anything because I am a good moooooslem.
