WODLAND PARK - Something clicked for Tommy Hancock as a freshman and he hasn't been the same wrestler since.
"I was at a (junior varsity) tournament and I lost really badly to a kid I shouldn't have lost to," Hancock said. "That frustrated me. I realized that this is tough. I realized I have to come with everything. I have to get better."
Hancock is a now a sophomore and one of the top wrestlers for Woodland Park High School. The 113-pounder has a 17-11 record (1-2 at last weekend's Metro League Championships) and is aiming for a spot at next month's state wrestling tournament at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
"I definitely plan on going to state this year," Hancock said. "I'll have to do a lot of work to place. Next year I definitely plan on placing and being a state champion when I'm a senior."
Hancock's confidence comes from making huge improvements in his style and technique.
"I think Tommy is realizing how good he can be," said Woodland Park coach Keith Sieracki. "But there are still areas he needs to improve on.
"He can wrestle like a champ the first period, but he slows up a little in the second and third periods. He hasn't figured out how to keep that pace for six minutes."
Kids in Hancock's class are quick and fast. The 113-pound division is one of the more exciting weight classes because a match can turn in an instant.
"Little guys wrestle fast and you have to be going all the time," Sieracki said. "You have to be able to break a guy. You have to be able to snap them. You get to the second and third periods and all the technique goes out the window."
Hancock finished his freshman year with a losing record, so he committed himself to a tough off-season program. He wrestled all summer and fall under the guidance of Sieracki through Sieracki's Mat Masters club team.
"I see him as the key to my success," said Hancock about the former United States Greco-Roman champion. "I take everything from him."
Hancock also takes notes from some of his Woodland Park teammates, like 160-pounder Thomas Chisholm (27-6), who finished sixth at the Metro League Championships.
"Thomas is a pretty inspirational wrestler," Hancock said. "I really try to take his knowledge of how he looks at these fighting sports. He knows where his body is all the time and takes advantage of it."
Hancock's usual workout partner is fellow sophomore Jesse Weatherill (126 pounds, 18-12 record). Hancock and Weatherill were the only freshmen on varsity last season. Weatherill was one match away from placing at the Metro League Championships.
Sieracki regards the youngsters as a main force in the future success of the program.
"From where Tommy and Jesse came from last year they are amazing," Sieracki said. "Last year they were trying to figure out the difference between eighth grade wrestling and high school wrestling. These year they both put injuries aside and everything else and put wrestling first.
"They both have a huge learning curve, but they're closing the gap. I can almost guarantee that both of them will be in the state tournament next year."
Hancock, of course, is planning to make a state run this year.
"The future of this program is pretty bright," he said. "I'm very excited to be part of it."

There can be a variety of reasons why bad decisions get made in the corporate world. Last week I wrote about psychopaths in the C-Suite and Boardroom. Today I want to look at some less flamboyant, more mundane ways that a company might get into compliance hot water through poor decision making. In an article in the November issue of the Harvard Business Review, entitled "Deciding How to Decide", authors Hugh Courtney, Dan Lovallo and Carmina Clarke reviewed how senior decision makers in a company might go about strategic decision making. One of the areas that they explored was how systemic roadblocks might get in the way of making a valid decision.
I found their discussion very interesting from the compliance perspective. The FCPA Guidance emphasized the need for companies to have a robust pre-acquisition due diligence process, in addition to a vigorous post-acquisition integration. The FCPA Guidance stated, "In the context of the FCPA, mergers and acquisitions present both risks and opportunities. A company that does not perform adequate FCPA due diligence prior to a merger or acquisition may face both legal and business risks. Perhaps most commonly, inadequate due diligence can allow a course of bribery to continue—with all the attendant harms to a business's profitability and reputation, as well as potential civil and criminal liability." But what are some of the biases which might prevent a company from making a good strategic decision even with adequate pre-acquisition due diligence. The authors set out five which I will explore in more detail.
When You Don't Know What You Don't Know
Under this bias, the authors believe that the decision maker's ability to make accurate decisions is in large part based on "being able to accurately determine the level of ambiguity and uncertainty they face." Unfortunately, just as compliance programs have to deal with humans and human fallibilities, strategic decision makers are subject to both "cognitive limitations and behavioral biases." The authors note that "executives don't know what they don't know, but are happy to assume that they do." It is this overconfidence in the ability to forecast uncertain outcomes that will lead to unwarranted confirmation of incorrect hypotheses.
Cognitive Bias Creep
Here the authors note that every corporation has biases and these biases can creep into any significant strategic decision. The key is that they manage these biases going forward so that they do not prevent an accurate decision from even having the chance of being made. The authors believe that this can be helped "if, when a strategic decision is being considered, managers choose their decision-making approach in a systematic, transparent, public manner during their judgments which can be evaluated by peers." This concept is well established in any best practices compliance program through an oversight committee or other similar structure proving review of the compliance function. It is through these techniques that key players "are less likely to assume that their decisions are straightforward or even intuitive." The authors conclude this section by stating that, "This is especially important when a relatively new or unique strategic investment is under consideration."
Organizational Process Gets In the Way
I try to be a process guy and to be process oriented. I tend to believe that if you have a robust process in place, it can help you to greatly reduce, ameliorate or manage your compliance risks. The authors believe this as well but feel there are times when the organizational process of a company can get in the way of making a strategic decision. Fortunately many of the techniques to overcome this problem are relatively straight-forward. Although not phrased in this manner, one is the concept of segregation of duties (SODs). In other words, do not have the people who will benefit from a favorable analysis be the only group or discipline within the company to review a decision or even its underlying facts. The authors answer is to have some "commonsense protocols" which allow for an independent eye on things.
Reliance on a Single Tool
One of the areas that the authors maintain throughout their article is the criticism by decision makers on a single analytical tool. They believe that most corporate decision makers rely solely on "conventional capital-budgeting techniques." They argue that it is most often more useful for decision makers to supplement this basic tool. They articulate that decision makers use other sources of insight. They are particularly critical of only looked to so-called 'expert opinions' and suggest that a company seek a wider group of opinions, even within the employee base of their own company. Another technique is to seek out persons in different disciplines simply because they will bring a different underlying analysis and perspective. The authors end this section by stating, "A robust analysis of analogous situations forces decision makers to look at their particular situation more objectively and tends to uncover any wishful thinking built into their return expectations."
The Option to Delay
The final bias the authors address is the option that is often overlooked – the option to wait or as the authors put it "Deciding when to decide is often as important as deciding how to decide." If you have ever been on a large project evaluating a merger or acquisition target or other business opportunity, you know that things can take on a momentum of their own. The authors call this "learning-based, iterative experimentation." This is not a situation of sometimes the best deals are the ones you do not sign on to but deciding to use other tools or techniques to evaluate the timing of your decision making process. This can not only keep you from doing deals that may not make any sense but allow for a more well-rounded decision making process.
The clear message of the authors' piece is that you should use a wider variety of tools available to you. The FCPA Guidance gives you some of the things that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) think are important. In addition to the use of transaction, third party and relationship monitoring, I would suggest that you add some or all of the following tools to your toolkit.
The moral of this story to use a wide variety of tools and resources when evaluating a strategic decision; whether it is compliance based or business based. Do not get caught in myopic thinking or analysis.

Governments in Cancun, Mexico, have chosen hope over fear and put the building blocks back in place for a global deal to combat climate change. For the first time in years, governments put aside some major differences and compromised to reach a climate agreement.
Read full story
At this year's climate summit governments have a choice. They can decide between a safe future or continue with business as usual and allow climate change to continue to threaten many aspects of life as we know it. After the failure in Copenhagen last year, we know the chances of getting out of Cancun with a global deal that encompasses everything we need are very small. What countries can do here in Cancun is decide on some critical issues that will pave the way for an Energy [R]evolution.
Right now, a clean and safe future is a choice we can still make. An international climate change agreement would catalyze and help pay for a world with clean, secure and independent means of energy guaranteed for generations to come. It could keep forests standing and forest peoples thriving, as well as protecting many species and helping to stop catastrophic climate change.
It would also mean that governments are saying no to coal, going beyond oil and supporting an Energy [R]evolution.
If they can do these things in Cancun, we can start to believe that governments have woken up to the stark choice facing the planet and are stepping out on the right path. Cancun must be where it starts.

Well this isn't exactly OMG. But I hope you like it, it's my first time
A fine sweet smell evaded the rooms within the house; the trail of fragrance led towards the kitchen. Squalo, was cooking in front of the stove, his long grey hair tied back and draped behind him, the apron tied loosely on his hips. Bel and Mammon were needed in a mission and Lussuria and Levithan were with them to make sure they stuck with the mission in France or somewhere close. Xanxus couldn't be bothered to go on the mission and Squalo didn't trust his boss to eat alone… he'd probably choke on the food… it occurred before, and Squalo didn't want that happening again, hence to Bel's annoyance, Squalo stayed in the mansion.
At the current moment in time Squalo was cooking, this was very rare deal, as the maids and butlers cook the food. Xanxus as expected was snoring on the couch in a un-boss-like manner. Squalo had soom put the food down on the table and peered over his snoring boss and sighed.
With a sudden, mischievous urge; Squalo got water and flicked it lightly at his boss's face, reaction was given, Squalo laughed quietly to himself as he constantly repeated the action.
"Voi, boss" Squalo chirped, Xanxus opened his eyes with the familiar annoyed look, "Food's done" Xanxus looked at the food and sat up,
"Who made this?" That was the first question asked.
Squalo narrowed his eyes, crossed his legs and un-tied his hair, as his hair fell the annoyed look remained there. "I did" He replied un-comfortably, he didn't want his boss to find it funny that he could cook.
"I'm supposed to buy that shit?" Xanxus scoffed and looked at Squalo's annoyed face.
"You were asleep" Squalo retorted "'Course you wouldn't know, you eat it anyway, why bother asking?" Xanxus knew he had offended his right hand ma instantly, but he just began to eat looking at an offended, sulky Squalo.
After he had finished the food Squalo picked up the dishes and went to the kitchen, he ran the tap and set up to wash the dishes, he was annoyed, so annoyed that he didn't realise Xanxus followed him into the kitchen, Squalo constantly sighed.
"Trash" Squalo jumped and whipped his head behind him and dropped the dish into the soapy water, embarrassed, he turned around realising that fact Xanxus followed him and he didn't even notice.
Xanxus was now inches away from Squalo, who had just dried the dishes "W-what?"Squalo pouted looking at Xanxus,
"The food was good" Xanxus said poking Squalo's forehead.
"T-thanks?" Squalo looked at the abusing finger poking him rhythmically, "Voi, stop poking me" he said moving away.
Xanxus watched Squalo take his apron off and hung it on the door, Xanxus followed after him and walked to his room, Squalo's room was after Xanxus's, but Xanxus was going to force him into his room for sure.
Soon Squalo reached Xanxus's door and almost went past it, almost. Xanxus had opened his door and pulled Squalo in,
"VOI!" He yelled, and soon he bounced on Xanxus's bed. He heard the door close and click… Xanxus had locked the door. The grey haired shark looked at his boss confused and oblivious to why he was in Xanxus's room, many a times he was kicked out for just waking him up, which is an annoyance Xanxus, but why, all of a sudden was he brought to him room?

"March Madness" Sylvan Dale Style ~ by Senior Ranch Guide, Bill Franz 970.635.9285
Every spring we ranch guides have annual chores to take care of before the season gets into full swing. And so it was Wednesday morning, March 20. I'd started out by working on Weldon Lake around 8:30. As I was paddling around I began to notice some midge activity and fish rising to them. I finished my work there and moved up to Island Lake to take care of a couple things. I saw a few heads there as well. After completing that chore I drove up to Mother Lake to put some tools away and start building the barley bales which keep Mother Lake free of moss all year.
At about 10:30 I looked up and the lake had erupted; midges everywhere and, I'd bet, every fish in the lake on the surface! There were rising fish from shoreline to shoreline. It didn't matter where one stood to cast, every cast would have been at a rising fish! Did I say my rod was in the truck?

Horst Faas, AP combat photographer, dies at 79
FILE – In this Jan. 26, 1961 file photo, scores of eager hands reach towards the Congolese official who distributes small rations of dried fish and palm oil to people at the hospital in Miabi, South Kasai, Congo. Faas, a prize-winning combat photographer who carved out new standards for covering war with a camera and became one of the world's legendary photojournalists in nearly half a century with The Associated Press, died Thursday May 10, 2012. He was 79. (AP Photo/Horst Faas, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — As chief of photo operations for The Associated Press in Saigon for a decade beginning in 1962, Horst Faas didn't just cover the fighting — he also recruited and trained new talent from among foreign and Vietnamese freelancers.
The result was "Horst's army" of young photographers, who fanned out with Faas-supplied cameras and film and stern orders to "come back with good pictures."
He and his editors chose the best and put together a steady flow of telling photos — South Vietnam's soldiers fighting and its civilians struggling to survive amid the maelstrom.
Faas, a Pulitzer Prize-winning combat photographer who carved out new standards for covering war with a camera and became one of the world's legendary photojournalists in nearly half a century with the AP, died Thursday in Munich, said his daughter, Clare Faas. He was 79.
A native of Germany who joined the U.S.-based news cooperative there in 1956, Faas photographed wars, revolutions, the Olympic Games and events in between.
But he was best known for covering Vietnam, where he was severely wounded in 1967 and won four major photo awards including the first of his two Pulitzers.
"Horst was one of the great talents of our age, a brave photographer and a courageous editor who brought forth some of the most searing images of this century," said AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll. "He was a stupendous colleague and a warm and generous friend."
Among his top proteges was Huynh Thanh My, an actor turned photographer who in 1965 became one of four AP staffers and one of two South Vietnamese among more than 70 journalists Login to read more

There is a great need for quality education all over Africa, and Zanzibar is no different. Due to poverty, daily home duties and a lack of qualified teachers, students are often unable to achieve the most basic educational requirements for higher level education and career development. African Impact's volunteer teaching project in the village of Jambiani supports the local nursery schools in providing free, structured, interactive and creative English and Maths classes as well as free English classes to adults which highly increases their employment prospects.
Currently English classes are attended by over 100 youth and adult students each day, at a variety of locations within Jambiani and at Jozani Forest. Free education is rare in Tanzania and Zanzibar, so much so that students travel from as far away as northern Tanzania to join the classes.
As a teaching volunteer in Jambiani you will also be involved in women's and kid's activity groups as well as working with local boys and girls sports training sessions. The participation from volunteers abroad has contributed to the remarkable growth of this project. Volunteer projects have also included providing water pipelines to two Primary Schools - allowing children to have clean running drinking water for the first time, raising money to feed the children porridge every morning, teaching Primary School teachers English and organizing swimming lessons for local children.

Too Faced Fall Collection 2009: Too Faced Natural Eye Palette Review and Swatches
Last year I fell in love with the Too Faced Smoky Eye Palette and this year isn't any different with the introduction of the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette, incredible, truly a fabulous palette and a killer deal!
Jump ahead for some raving!
I've been known to hate all over a natural, nude eye look but my tastes have evolved since I started this little site and with those changes came the revelation that I do enjoy a natural eye look. With a total of nine shades, three tutorials, and a brush, all packaged together, Too Faced Natural Eye Palette arms you with just about everything you'll need to create three natural, nude looks or any number of looks using the nine shades. This style palette is ideal for anyone who either loves neutrals or isn't so handy with eye shadow application. It's ease of use and nifty little tutorial cards make it's a snap to create a flawless eye look sans drama.
The palette is a sweet flip top box with full size mirror and pull out draw with one dual applicator that includes a sponge on one side and a liner brush on the other. As per my rant last year I will say that I hate they don't include at least three sponges with the kit as it would be great to use one brush per shadow look. The kit also includes a sleeve which houses three little business card size tutorials with three simple steps for creating a Day, Fashion, and Classic Eye look. The instructions are simple and easy to understand and for the most part one sentence tells you what to do. Believe me if I can follow the instructions you'll be able to without any problem. The instructions make it very easy to create dramatic neutral looks that are beautifully flattering for Fall.
The shades in the palette are as follows:
Day Look
Heaven (Matte Cream)
Velvet Revolvor (Matte Nude)
Sexpresso (Matte Brown
To create the Day Look you simply sweet Heaven all over the line and blend Velvet Revolver into the crease to contrast. Finish the look by blending Sexpresso on the upper and lower lash line for a smudged out liner effect. The results of the completed look are a work friendly subtle neutral eye look.
Fashion Look
Nude Beach (Shimmering Beige Peach)
Honey Pot (Coppery Bronze)
Cocoa Puff (Shimmering Golden Brown)
When compared to Day, Fashion Look is considerably more dramatic. To create the look you'll be using nude Beach as a high brow highlighter and blended into the crease. Follow up with Honey Pot patted on the inner lid and around the tear duct and complete with Cocoa Puff blended on the out lid, crease, and upper and lower lash lines. Although completely work friendly, Fashion Look manages to have the drama of a night time look as well!
Classic Look
Silk Teddy (Nude Shimmering Peach)
Push-Up (Light Shimmering Brown)
Erotica (Grayish Brown with Golden Sparkle)
The Classic Look is probably the most dramatic of all the looks with a blend of bronze and brown to create a very smoky, nude look. To achieve the look you'll blend Silky Teddy from crease to brow and gently press Push Up onto the lid. Follow up by smudging Erotica on crease and lower lashes.
All three looks are very pretty and flattering on my brown eyes. It's fun following the card step by step but nothing is stopping you from using the shades individually or combined to create any number of looks. Nine shadows is alot of color so I'm sure you can let your imagination run wild to create some other interesting looks. All the shadows in the palette are brilliantly pigmented and rich in texture. Finishes range from shimmery, matte, to velvet and blend like a dream.
Overall, the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette is an absolute steal at $34 and a Fall must have for creating natural or dramatic eye popping looks. I really love this one and I'm deeply impressed. Quite a great little palette for not only makeup amateurs and beginners but also those who are well versed in makeup application.
A gem!
Loves it!
Muse Approval for purchase!
You won't regret adding this one to your collection, likey!

8/3/10 13:07 Laura:
Okay – I'm freakin out – the more I see this palette the more I want it – the only reason I didn't get it, is because I bought Too Faced Naughty or Nice Palette and NEVER use it.
But every time I'm in Ulta I toss on this stuff – and I'm in love with the texture of Heaven. It's Heaven!

5/17/11 2:32 Amy:
i'm torn between these two palettes!!! i can't afford to buy both right now.
i usually wear either no eyeshadow at all or smoky eye for a night out.
i don't have a whole lot of eyeshadows but the last few shades i bought are pretty dark so now i wanna try something softer for a sweet but sophisticated look.
which one do you think is more of a must-have/ can't be found in other brands/cheaper (my skin is nc30)
ps. where i live is impossible to get Urban Decay's Naked Palette and i don't wanna pay extra on ebay :'(
5/17/11 10:46 Amy:

6/3/11 23:15 Amanda:

Your question in full: The FR-44 insurance is required for 3 years. When does the 3 year period start, from the time it of the suspension or from the time you are covered by insurance? My license is lost for 18 months, and I have no vehicle to cover with insurance.
Currently, the states of Virginia and Florida require an FR-44 form to be filed for certain alcohol-related violations, such as driving under the influence (DUI). Both states may mandate the SR-22 form for lesser offenses.
In Virginia, you need to obtain the financial responsibility certificate (FR-44) and maintain it for three years from the date your driver's license revocation ends. If, however, you obtain a restricted driver's license, then you are required to carry the FR-44-mandated insurance for a total of four years.
In Florida, the FR-44 is required for a period of three years from the original suspension date. If you don't obtain the FR-44 right away in Florida, you would have to maintain it only until the third anniversary of your license suspension.
Should you want to get the FR-44 now, to get a restricted license before the suspension is over in 18 months, you may be able to get a non-owner's policy if you do not own a car and are not in a household where you could be put on a car insurance policy.
At CarInsurance.com we are able to offer non-owners insurance in most states. If we offer this type of policy in your state then on the vehicle screen it will have the option of choosing "Check this box if you do not own a vehicle and would like to purchase a non-owners policy."
CarInsurance.com can also help you obtain a Florida or Virginia car insurance policy with a FR-44 filing, when you get a quote and purchase car insurance online with us.
If you indicate the alcohol-related offense and request an SR-22, we will bump your coverage requirements and after you purchase the policy the insurance company will file the FR-44 on your behalf. Get started now with instant car insurance quotes.

Poll results: Which product do you prefer?

Pro Wrestling Since 1997

Old school and attitude fans vs. those too young to remember? Yeah, great poll…
I still say it was too vague… My opinion is that the New Gen WWF was the worst era for the company, right after the PG era. Then the initial WWE years, then the Golden Age of Hogan, then the Ruthless Aggression era, then, finally, the Attitude Era.

Brooksville, Florida -- Hernando County Mosquito Control announced Thursday a chicken in the Brooksville area tested positive for the West Nile Virus.
The county tests its five flocks of chickens throughout the county periodically for mosquito-borne viruses. In this case, the chicken that tested positive was on South Mildred Street and officials say residents should be aware that there are mosquitoes in the area carrying the virus.
The rare disease caused by the virus does not have any affect on chickens but can be deadly to humans and horses.
Back in September, USA TODAY reported that this year's outbreak of the virus was the worst officials had seen since it was discovered in the U.S. in 1999.On Aug. 31, the first human case was reported in Hillsborough County since 2004.
Residents should know that no human cases of the virus have been reported in Hernando County but anyone in the area where the virus is present can be affected.Those living in, or who visit woodland areas, along with those who work outside are at the highest risk.
Symptoms of West Nile virus in humans appear 4-10 days after exposure and include sudden onset of headache, high fever, chills and vomiting.
Mosquito control staff are stepping up inspections and treatment in the Brooksville area and want to remind all county residents and visitors to be vigilant about mosquito bite prevention.
Residents may call the Mosquito Control Department at (352) 540-6552 to request mosquito control services. For additional health-related information, please visit www.cdc.gov.

LeBron James, star of the Miami Heat, and one of the faces of the NBA, has a new shoe store which will use the iPad to create a shoe-shopping experience unlike any other. The shoe store, "Unknwn," will feature 45 iPads scattered around the premises, allowing customers to have an interactive shopping experience.
The specialized iPads from iPad Enclosures will reportedly offer "user controlled interaction with a single product."
At each iPad station customers can access information on every shoe for sale including: stylish clothing and sneaker combinations, sneaker pricing, and technical specifications.
Apple stores offer similar product information via the iPad, but with James' new venture and other companies featuring in-store iPad use like Walgreens and Saks Fifth Avenue, more and more companies are using the device to attract and assist customers.
Do you think having iPads in stores enhances the shopping experience? What other companies would you like to see integrate the iPad into their stores? Let us know in the comments section below!

3 days before: Benedict preparing to visit Brazil and the "continent of hope"By
Today at his Regina Caeli address Pope Benedict asked prayers for his journey to Brazil this week.
Benedict XVI says that his trip to Brazil will be an effort to promote the Church's evangelization so that Latin America will more and more be "the continent of hope."
The Pope said today at his Regina Caeli address: "This is my first pastoral visit to Latin America and I am preparing myself spiritually to visit the continent where almost half the Catholics of the whole world, many of them young people, live."
"It is for this reason," he added, "that Latin America has been given the name 'continent of hope': It is a hope that has to do not only with the Church but with the whole of America and the entire world." [More…]
Reuters has a bit about the Cathedral Our Lady of Aparecida, "Latin America's most popular shrine and one of the world's largest cathedrals" which will be central to Benedict's visit [it was originally inaugurated by Pope John Paul II]:
Every year millions of Brazilian and foreign pilgrims visit the shrine, in the city of Aparecida about 100 miles east of Brazil's biggest city Sao Paulo.
Its story dates back to 1717 when three fishermen having a run of bad luck cast their nets in the River Paraiba and dragged up a headless statue of the Virgin Mary. They also salvaged the head and, according to the legend, then netted plenty of fish.
Interior capacity? 45,000 worshippers.
Previous coverage of Pope Benedict's visit to Brazil available here.

New Clone Wars game ties into Star Wars series canon
The story in the new game, Star Wars: The Clone Wars - "Republic Heroes" bridges the gap between the show's first two runs, as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and their loyal Clone Trooper comrades take on a new Separatist enemy packing a freshly polished doomsday weapon.
Available for PS3, Nintendo Wii or Xbox 360, "Republic Heroes" lets you play as a Jedi Knight or as a Clone Trooper -- depending on where you are in the game and what choices you make as a player.
Misplaced steps reveal doorway to Star Wars live action series
The sign artfully painted on the glass door in this tasteful, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired hallway within the Skywalker Ranch compound in Marin County, Calif. reads "LucasFilm Television." You'll have to trust me on that. This is as close as I could get with a camera.
You might wonder what the big deal is about that sign -- considering that LucasFilm has a show on the air already with Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But, those 22 episodes originate across the building in LucasFilm Animation -- a separate division.
Set Visit: Clone Wars returns with better visuals, darker stories
Admittedly, there isn't a ton of competition as action shows are few and far between on TV these days. They're expensive to produce in live action, so reality TV, detective shows and "chick-flick" dramas drive network schedules. Since the Star Wars universe exists only in the imaginations of George Lucas and his team encamped north of the Golden Gate bridge, The Clone Wars has more room to play affordably.
The second season of The Clone Wars launches this Friday on Cartoon Network. To build some force behind the premiere, LucasFilm Animation hosted a press event at Skywalker Ranch in Marin County. Munching on Wookie-Cookies (as all of the catering was Star-themed) and rubbing elbows with costumed Clone Troopers and bounty hunters, show creators and cast members mingled with reporters in an enthusiastic, nerd-friendly atmosphere.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars gets a subtitle and a premiere date
To drive this point home, they've even added a snazzy subtitle to the title of the show for this season, as well as giving it a premiere date. The action starts Friday, October 2 with the one-hour premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Rise of the Bounty Hunters.
That follows the pattern of the films, if you think about it. While the first film was technically Episode IV: A New Hope, it was only branded as Star Wars. The stakes were raised and things got much better with the next installment, complete with official subtitle. Rise of the Bounty Hunters even sounds like an episode in the film franchise.
The Big Bang Theory: The Lizard-Spock Expansion
(S02E08) As much as I enjoy this show, I'm always afraid that it's going to start becoming too Sheldon-centric. Sheldon is easily the quirkiest character, so falling into the trap of, "hey, check out this ridiculous thing that guy said," over and over again would be quite easy. So far though, the writers have managed to avoid that; which is why I was happy to have a Wolowitz episode this week.
Of course, Sheldon was still there being his ridiculous self, but he wasn't there to move the plot along; much as his "Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock" game didn't move anything along (everyone always picked Spock).
Animation Update: Cartoon Network's Upfronts - VIDEO
Clone Wars, Secret Saturdays, a teenager with a super watch, and yet another Batman cartoon. These are just some of the items that were announced at the Cartoon Network upfronts this past week. A presentation, mind you, that was attended by one George Lucas.
Lucas was there to promote the CN's pickup of the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which many are expecting big things of. This series, which we told you about way back in May of last year, will continue the adventures of Obi-Wan, Anakin, and many others during the Clone Wars. According to Stuart Snyder, President and COO of Turner Animation, Clone Wars will be a game changer for the network and will be event viewing for kids as well as entire families. "Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be appointment television for everyone in the family", said Snyder
Stargate Atlantis: Spoils Of War
(S04E12) "Blind we are, if creation of this clone army we could not see." - Yoda
I can't be the only one that had the clone wars running through their noggin through half of this episode. I'm not even a big Star Wars fan, but as soon as Todd started in explaining how the base worked, and how they used it in the war with the Ancients, it was all I could think about. I'll be hearing Yoda in my head all weekend now. That's not to say it was a bad episode. The idea is certainly familiar, but it brought with it some interesting backstory, and that's more than a fair trade.
Disney may have eye on Clone Wars
Citing information from "animation insiders," Animation Magazine is reporting that Disney may have its sights set on securing broadcast rights to Clone Wars, the CGI-animated cartoon series based on George Lucas' Star Wars universe (the series would take place between episodes Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith). The series' debut has been set at fall 2008 for some time now, but no official announcement has been made as to which network or cable station would air the series. Rumor has it that both FOX and HBO would also like to broadcast the series.
Comic-Con: Star Wars Panel Report
While the thirty years of Star Wars panel featured plenty of video game previews and Lucas-approved montages of the fans that have made him one seriously wealthy man, it also featured a special preview of Family Guy's season premiere - a one hour Star Wars tribute starring Stewie as Lord Vader, of course. Who else were you expecting to don Vader's robes?
Catch a sneak peek of the new Clone Wars cartoon
We've been hearing about the new Clone Wars cartoon for some time now, and finally a little taste of the new series is available on the Star Wars site.
We've been told previously that this new series would focus on the clone wars that took place between episodes two and three (Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith) and those of us who are both Star Wars fanboys and animation nerds were excited to see what this new animated series would look like.
Star Wars Episodes 7 through 107 on TV?
I'm sure Lucas can write his own ticket and generate more Star Wars content in any format he wants. I did love The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, anyway -- though maybe I'm the only one.
New Star Wars cartoon next year?
Last month Richard got us all up to speed on the live-action Star Wars series, which is currently set to debut in 2008. Apparently the people behind the new series have been working like crazy, so we'll see if the wait is worth it, though I can't think "Star Wars" and "television" without thinking of those horrible made-for-TV Ewok movies.
Anyway, while we have to wait a couple years for this series, we may be seeing the new animated series as soon as next year. Lucasfilm's animation studio in Singapore is currently working on the CGI series, which will focus on the Clone War era that falls between episodes two (Attack of the Clones) and three (Revenge of the Sith). The Clone Wars, while a vital part of the movies, was delved into much deeper in the books and comics based on the series. Despite this, insiders claim there will be some surprises for even the most diehard fans of Star Wars and its expanded universe.

I mainly agree with the list (especially like currently a late night cocktail and some pastrami fries at Fairweather) but Starlite shouldn't be on the list (great food but just average cocktails)
Starlite has a good whiskey list. That's what I get when I go there.
Regarding the 2014 list, I concur on Noble Experiment, Fairweather/Rare Form, and Ironside. From last year, Polite and Sycamore. But they really missed the mark by not including Bankers Hill. I am also surprised that Craft & Commerce was omitted.

Meh, they just don't sound like actual names to me. The name of a town? Sure. A surname? Sure, I think Lexington is a cool surname or a name for a town. But it doesn't seem very "namey" to me, and certainly not that cute or pretty. Sorry to be so disappointing, but -ington names just don't appeal to me on an actual child.

Just caught the irony of that post yes I said I would NEVER name two sisters both those names in the first sentence and then turned around and said I never say never in the last. I guess I mean I almost never say never, sometimes never is true.

Pregnancy: After Loss Community
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Join our community for those who are ... more
See All
My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
21 weeks 5 days
w/g: Not sure, but not too much (I think). I will find out next week.
s/c: LOTS of movement! Crazy amounts of movement! I am already feeling parts (knees or elbows) going across my belly! DH can't believe how much he can feel already too! I am already feeling movement up above my belly button! Overall, I am feeling great. I am VERY hungry lately and am trying to fill up with the right kind of calories, which is hard with all of the Easter candy and cookies that have somehow made their way into my house.
Other: TRIGGERS!!! Today was pretty hard on me, emotionally. Today we took Gwen to her 1 year appt and they had to give her several vaccines (shots) in her legs and then we had to take her to the lab for blood work for routine tests. It is always hard to hold her while they give her shots, but that is usually pretty fast. It was literally the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my entire life to hold her down while she screamed and stared at me in the eyes as I could see the nurse digging in her arm with the needle looking for vein. I broke down while holding her and cried like a fool. Like, convulsions while crying. They almost had to call another nurse in to take my place. Then my DH made a stupid comment when he saw that I was crying and said "Hormonal much?!". I would have cried whether or not I was pregnant!
Well, he is also sick with food poisoning or something so I have been caring for Gwen (poor baby girl, sore after her shots) and my DH all day. I wouldn't mind, except he has been throwing up and it is just gross. I can't wait until whatever this is makes it's way out of his system.
Next d/a: Next week!!! Probably just a quick one but I have tons of Q's about my placenta previa I just found out about.View Thread
That is great news that the baby is measuring right on track and your cervix and placenta look good! Yay for a good day!View Thread
w/g: probably around 5lbs, not sure
s/c: occasional painful BHC, but that has improved over the past week. I am feeling quite large lately (belly). I think that is because I seem to be carrying higher than I was with my pregnancy with Gwen. Overall feeling good.
Other: I received a call from my doctor today regarding the anatomy scan. Everything with baby girl is looking perfect, thank goodness. She was calling to let me know that I will probably end up with a c-section. She said that a part of my placenta is covering my cervix. She said that she will do another c-section at 32 weeks to see how the placenta is growing and developing. I am praying that the ultrasound at 32 weeks results with us seeing our sweet baby girl again with better news regarding the location of the placenta.

181 West Madison Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
181 West Madison Street is a skyscraper located in Chicago. Built in 1990, the building is 680 feet (207 m) tall and contains 50 floors. It is architect Cesar Pelli's first and only completed tower in the city.
The glassy office tower's most distinctive feature is its recessed crown. The top of the building is illuminated white at the corners, as well as other various colors depending on the holiday.
In 1989, the same combination of developer (The Beitler Company) and architect envisioned the Miglin-Beitler Skyneedle nearby. The 2,000 foot (610 m) and 125 story building would have been the tallest skyscraper in the world if completed, but plans were scrapped because of a sluggish real estate market.

LAKE POWELL - For all the trouble Joe and I got into as teenagers - and especially for all the things we got away with - it almost seemed like a bad idea.
Two novice boaters, a 22-foot power boat and 186 miles of Lake Powell: the long, narrow stretch of jade water inside Glen Canyon's high red walls on the Arizona-Utah border. And, oh, yes, a forecast for 30 mph winds. Joe and I had been warned repeatedly that wind turns an afternoon on Lake Powell from real pretty to real nasty real quick.
Three million visitors enjoy these waters every year, by houseboat, kayak, tour boat or in the kind of vessel we were about to board for motoring through the canyon at 35 mph. The morning was flawless: 71 degrees, bright and breezy.
"I think we can do this, Joshua," Joe said, backing our rented 260-horsepower, V-8 Bayliner Capri into the water. "I have faith in us."
That made one and a half of us. A couple of hours earlier I asked the couple who rented us the boat where to find the brake. (A tip for the non-nautical: There isn't one.)
But no matter. We had navigated high school, and we would navigate Lake Powell. Boat in water, we followed our instructions to the letter. Red switch for a couple of minutes to chase fumes near the engine. Drop propeller. Half-turn key to cycle fuel pump. Turn key remainder of way. Vroom, vroom. And off we went.
The wrong way. Within two minutes, Joe and I dead-ended in a cove of smooth, low, white rock. After a second misdirection, we finally found the narrow channel that led us to the heart of the lake. And then we were really off, zooming freely amid the 100-foot rock walls and craggy beauty all around. The rocks were red and tall and looked as if Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote might come scrambling across them at any moment.
"It's cool how the light changes as the sun moves over the canyon," Joe said. "The colors become more brilliant."
Sure enough, as the day went on, the water became greener and the rock, already so red and marbled that it looked like huge cuts of steak, turned redder still. And on a Monday afternoon, we had it largely to ourselves. The solitude helped chase the novice fears of boat operation, and soon we found unity with our miraculous toy; in this great expanse of rock, water and dry desert air, we sliced through the canyon as we pleased.
Lake Powell exists because of the 710-foot-tall Glen Canyon Dam, finished in 1963, that stands at its western edge. Otherwise, the lake would merely be the Colorado River passing through on its way to the Gulf of California.
Detractors, and there are plenty of them, say the canyon was too beautiful to have been flooded by engineers. But it was. Think of the Grand Canyon filled nearly to the brim with water, and you have Lake Powell, which also supplies water storage and electricity for large swaths of the Southwest.
Dozens of side canyons branch off from Glen Canyon. Joe and I checked them out as the mood moved us. They started wide and narrowed more and more around every goosenecked turn. The red rock closed in on us until the sky was just a blue slit overhead. Navigating a 22-foot boat out of such a scene is as difficult as it sounds - reverse, forward, reverse, forward, cranking the wheel one direction and then another.
A few hours later, the sun started to sink, and we headed back to the marina with visions of dinner and beer. That was when I learned the power of the wind. I'd heard the stories, among them the 70 mph blasts in April 2009 that sank boats and led to four drownings.
The wind we faced that afternoon, which is when the winds usually get rough, probably didn't get above 35 mph, but it was enough to push us around. At the wheel, I felt the sensation of telling the boat to do one thing and the wind making it do something slightly different.
The next morning dawned calm. We were in the boat by 7:30; the water was glassy and still. Newly confident and finally oriented, we sped upriver, skipping canyons we'd already seen to find new adventure. The morning light bathed the rocks in a warm glow, and the world seemed silent.
"This is the Lake Powell I had in mind," Joe said. "The flat water, the reflection of the rocks on it, the peaks in the distance."
About midday we wound up at Rainbow Bridge National Monument, an arch of rock achievable to most people only by boat, and maybe the lake's biggest tourist draw. Lunch and water on our backs, Joe and I hiked the two-thirds of a mile to the arch - a stunning red span across a dribbling creek that was once powerful enough to carve the thing out.
Back at our boat, we saw a dozen kayakers paddling quietly and rhythmically toward Rainbow Bridge. I had a twinge of regret. I wanted to see the lake as these people saw it: slowly, deliberately, quietly. Joe saw me getting wistful.
"It would take us a lot longer to do what we've done in a kayak," he said.
Good point.
Still, the kayakers inspired us to find our own brand of quiet. We motored uplake until lured by another side canyon. In it we made half a dozen winding turns away from the main channel, then cut the engine at the bottom of a 50-foot rock wall where the shadows slowly dragged their shapes. It was a grandeur that never got old - thousands of feet of smooth red rock, the thick clouds passing above, rippling water. This canyon was particularly well-named: Reflection.
"You reflecting?" Joe asked.
You bet I was.

Thanks guys. In the end, I opted for the Elantra - because well, it's the most popular car here these days, which has its advantages. And the Corolla was a) too expensive and b) a little too plain.
Hope it turns out to be a good decision in the end. Thanks again for your feedback!
I wonder, why don't put Lancer within the circle of your choice . It is a japanese car and less cost than Corolla.
Good Luck

secondly i want to know which time will be appropriate for all of us
for me,, Sunday or Saturday will be fine.... what about you all?
I have an idea for those who love to talk in English and need to practice it. why we don't organize a weekly meeting to talk to each other in English . I know that there are a lot of Egyptian & foreigners want to do it . We can divide ourselves into groups or levels (Beginners, intermediate & advanced). It will be not allowed to talk in Arabic or any other language(except English) during the meeting as the main purpose is practicing the English language . It will better to chose a quiet cafeteria for our meeting to facilitate the communication between us . I think that it is a good chance for all of us to express ourselves and our thoughts in English . also , good chance to build friendship between us & know each other better. Waiting for your comments .

All I meant here is that the planning for your trip and collection of information through internet before travelling is a very important thing to spend a good time during your trip. And always the Web sites give you very useful information for cities that want to visit, maybe more useful than advices you receive it from other people.
But it is clear that My advice was not useful to you .any way , every one is free to choose his way and style in organization his life. Good luck

Attacks and sexual harassment can happen anywhere at anytime to anyone in any country , male or female . This is the world we live in .Attacks on men are on the increase not just on women . It's a matter of being aware of not getting complacent and thinking I'm walking in a safe place , because really it's a shame to say but attacks can happen anywhere .eg Rehab !! So stay alert and keep your belongings that you don't need at home . And if you find yourself in a bad situation use your voice ., scream, shout .if being groped . maybe carry an alarm or spray use a small waist bag instead of a handbag under a jacket . Maybe look at self defence classes.,as it isnt always the answer but makes you more alert to situations . Personally I haven't had any really bad situations here ., but I've been out of Egypt for month and due to return shortly , so I'm wondering if it's deteriorated even more . But anyway I just wanted to share so take care EVERYONE
agreed with you 100%

The level of slave exports grew from about 36,000 a year during the early 18th century to almost 80,000 a year during the 1780s.
The Angolan region of west-central Africa made up slightly more than half of all Africans sent to the Americas and a quarter of imports to British North America.
Approximately 11,863,000 Africans were shipped across the Atlantic, with a death rate during the Middle Passage reducing this number by 10-20 percent. As a result between 9.6 and 10.8 million Africans arrived in the Americas.

Star Entertainment
Unycorn's '18 & Ova' mashing up the place
Known for hits such as 'Never Been Touch' and 'Think Bout Me', multi-talented artiste-turned-producer Unycorn has returned to the dancehall space with an infectious number, '18 & Ova'.
Aptly named, the collaborative effort, featuring Tiana, is produced by Donovan McMurray and Garfield Stewart, and speaks to the act of paedophilia and condemnation of its immoral practitioners.
Questioned as to how he got the inspiration for the song, the deejay explained that he got the idea fafter observing the surfeit of minors in society being abused and exploited for sexual favours by unethical adults.
"The song is based off my own observations. as an entertainer, we are not just public figures but also role models, whether we like it or not. Lots of people, especially children, emulate, us so we have to be morally responsible and help with their protection against certain degenerate acts. Since everyone loves music, I decided to make a song that people can enjoy while still imparting a positive message," Unycorn said.
The collaboration has been enjoying premium rotation on FM airwaves and popular entertainment spots. According to Unycorn, he's happy with the progress and, based on the feedback, an aggressive promotional campaign is afoot heading into the festive season. An official video was also premiered last weekend via CVM Television's 'OnStage' to rave reviews.
Since emerging on the local music scene,Unycorn has carved out his own niche, producing some of the biggest hits the genres has seen including, Rasta Run Di World by Spragga Benz, Beenie Man's Swing It Away, Think Bout Me with Macka Diamond and Bounty Killer's Cross Road.
