It's not like she was wearing a thong or anything, then I would understand why it would've been censored. But seriously, It looks like someone with a cape came when she was dressing (or undressing) and she's all surprised and trying to hide her buttocks. The fact there's that floating piece of fabric covering her bottoms makes it seem like she didn't have any, which worsens the image. This game is rated TEEN, not 3 and plus, for god's sake. And, first things first, I wouldn't give a game rated TEEN to a 5 years old. I think that Cordelia should've been censored, but I guess it would've been hard to have a random cape jump out of nowhere to cover her breasts. And also, I don't see parents hiding their kid's eyes at the beach when there's a woman in a bikini. Way to go, Nintendo.

The International Council of Shopping Centers reports that the average teenager spends $39 during a shopping trip to the mall. The promotions director of a local mall has used a variety of strategies to attract area teens to his mall, including live bands and "teenage group. He believes teen shoppers at his mall respond to his promotional efforts by shopping there more often and spending more when they do. Mall management decides to evaluate the promotions director's success by surveying a simple random sample of 45 local teens and finding out how much they spent on their most recent shopping visit to the mall. The results are listed in data file XR10056. Use a suitable hypothesis test in examining whether the mean mall shopping expenditure for teens in this area might be higher than for U.S. teens as a whole. Indentify and interpret the p-value for the test. Using the 0.025 level of significance, what conclusion do you reach?

OMG plc, Oxford Metrics Group (LSE: OMG), ('OMG' or 'the Group') the technology group providing image understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and engineering industries, is pleased to provide the following update in respect of trading for the six months ended 31 March 2010.
The Group expects to report record first half revenue of approximately £14.4m. Sales of higher margin products in the Group's Vicon business, particularly in the United States, recovered more quickly than previously expected towards the end of the first half. As a result, the Group now expects to report a profit before tax ("PBT") performance for the half year that is ahead of the market's current PBT expectations for the full year. Cash at bank as at 31st March 2010 stood at £4.1m.
Whilst general economic conditions remain mixed, OMG enters the second half of the financial year in robust financial health. As in previous years, the Group remains dependent on the successful closure of deals during the second half but, at this current time, the Board believes it reasonable to expect a full year PBT performance that is ahead of current market expectations.
OMG will report interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2010 on Wednesday, 12 May 2010.

Great recipe but I expected that it would make more (1/2 dozen mini). Visually it's very difficult to determine when they're done, checked them at 6 min and figured they needed the full 10 min - at 10 they didn't look done still, but I think were a little overdone. I used AP, wheat, and barley flour - everyone really enjoyed them (toddlers even). Nice change of pace and went together really easily.flag if inappropriate
Wow - what a great recipe! Nice base you can easily adjust - recipe yielded 30 *mini* doughnuts using apx a heaping teaspoon each. Some I rolled in powdered sugar; others, I brushed with melted butter and then dipped in cinnamon/sugar. I could easily see adding lemon or orange zest for a little more zing. We loved.flag if inappropriate

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu may be minimal, simple, and effective but that's not enough if the fight doesn't go to the ground. GJJ is not the MMA solution any more than any other style of martial art.
I'm tired of people not understanding there is a functional side to TKD and an artistic side. TKD is a martial art and any martial art requires adjustments to be an effictive fighting method.
I am not sure about your experience with TKD, but I went to a lot of different schools in my area and my experience was always the same.
I spent a lot of time doing Muay-Thai before I started going to TKD gyms so I was a pretty descent boxer. Just about every class I went too I would use good technique on jabs, crosses, uppercuts, hooks, etc...I would always get corrected and told "this is how we do it in TKD". It was always less effecient and flashier ways of doing it IMO.
Another thing I would get corrected on quite often was I love kicking the legs. Every class I went too I was told immediately "no leg kicks". How are you going to learn how to defend or use leg kicks when you don't use them??
Several of the schools I went too (not all of them) taught to roundhouse kick with the foot and not the shin. Some had adapted using the shin; although I'm not sure which is more traditional. To me kicking with the foot is stupid...what happens when you break your foot? Then you are in the middle of a fight and can't stand.
Most of the schools as well did not allow strikes to the face. Same as leg kicks...how are you going to learn how to defend or strike to the face if you can't do it training? You can't.
From what I saw of the stances, most of them were pretty useless. To me the stances were set up more for point sparring and not street fighting. Some big leg stance isn't going to win fights on the street or against kickboxers. If you don't believe that just take a look at Machida and how he got his leg kicked to death last week.
Kata was the all time worse thing I saw. I did Karate (got a black belt in Shorin-Ryu Karate) and I never agreed with kata. Some people say it's useful for something...what I don't know. This isn't the Karate Kid, nobody is gonna stand there in awe while you do some stupid form...you are gonna start doing it and they are gonna kick the crap out of you.
My biggest gripe with Karate and TKD is the belt test and the fact that they give belts out for money. When I got my black belt I paid about $1500 to get it. I have seen schools that charge more than that. When I got my belts in BJJ I paid nothing, I went into class one day and they handed me a belt and told me "you earned this".

The Race For Sixth – How Boston and Atlanta Compare
The Boston Celtics, who trail the Hawks by 1.5 games in the standings, are at this point the only team Atlanta has a realistic chance of flipping spots with in the Eastern Conference standings, especially since the Celtics win the tiebreaker.
The Celtics have five games left, and the Hawks have four. Here's a breakdown of how I think it will go over the final eight days:
HOME: Brooklyn Nets (4/10)
A home game with a healthy Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett should be a win. There will be playoff energy at TD Garden.
Result: Win
AWAY: Miami Heat (4/12)
I have a feeling Erik Spoelstra will bring back LeBron James and Dwyane Wade for at least a few games to rev up for the playoffs. This might be one of them, but even without them, Miami is tough to beat at home.
Result: Loss
AWAY: Orlando magic (4/13)
Even on the second night of a back-to-back, Boston should have no problem with a team looking to maximize its lottery chances.
Result: Win
HOME: Indiana Pacers (4/16)
The Pacers know this could be a first-round preview. They haven't beat Boston this season, and they remember blowing a nine-point lead at home last month.
Result: Loss
AWAY: Toronto Raptors (4/17)
Knowing they'd rather face Indiana than the New York Knicks, Boston will want this game. It may be a situation where they're rooting for New York to avoid New York. The Hawks play the Knicks this same night.
Result: Win
Final record: 43-39
AWAY: Philadelphia 76ers (4/10)
The Hawks have had trouble with Philadelphia this season. The starters are hurting. Will Larry Drew sit guys again to get them healthy?
Result: Loss
HOME: Milwaukee Bucks (4/12)
Atlanta is 3-0 against Milwaukee this season. The Bucks are pretty much locked into the eighth spot and are already preparing for Miami.
Result: Win
HOME: Toronto Raptors (4/16)
After an extended time off, the Hawks conclude the home portion of their schedule with another team they haven't lost to this season. That will continue.
Result: Win
AWAY: New York Knicks (4/17)
If the results play out the way I'm predicting, the Hawks will have the six seed clinched before games get underway on the final night of the season. We'll likely see very few minutes from the regulars.
Result: Loss
Final record: 44-38
A lot can happen, but I think the Hawks have the inside track for the sixth seed, which would likely mean a first-round date with Indiana. If the Hawks win three of four, they'll get the six for sure. Two of four makes it possible with some help from Boston's opponents. Ironically, I think the Hawks match up better with New York because of the size, while Boston may match up better with Indiana because of the style of play.
It will also be interesting to see what the Celtics do down the stretch. Do they go for it, or do they concede the seven and rest everybody? We shall see.

With Christmas little more than two weeks away by the close of business last Saturday, album sales rose by more than a million last week to 6,674,018, writes Alan Jones
That's 20.5% higher than the previous week and a mere 1.3% behind the 6,760,756 sales recorded in Week 50 of 2004 - the closest match to last week in terms of date and proximity to Christmas.
Two albums each contributed sales of more than 200,000 copies to the total. Now That's What I Call Music! 62 logging a 13,1% dip to 204,480 on its third week in the shops, to raise its 20 day cume to 724,118, while Eminem's Curtain Call - The Hits topped the artist chart for the second straight week, and put even Now! 62 in the shade, dashing to sales of 241,382. That's the highest weekly sale for a record by Eminem, beating the 228,297 copies his 2002 release Th e Eminem Show sold on its first week in the shops. Its the third highest sale for a number one artist album so far this year, trailing only the 464,471 copies that Coldplay's X&Y sold the week of its release in June, and the 373,832 copies Robbie Williams' Intensive Care sold in its first week on release at the end of October, beginning of November.
With a 20 day sales tally of 724,118, Now! 62 is certain to replace Now! 60 (849,234 sales) at the top of the list of 2005's best-selling compilations a week hence, and is 32.56% ahead of same stage sales for last year's equivalent, Now! 59, and 4.81% in front of 2003's Now! 56. benchmark
Although Curtain Call has sold 354,296 copies in nine days, there are plenty more in the shops, as the disc has been certified double platinum after shipping more than 600,000 copies.
Eminem's album was one of six artist albums to sell more than 100,000 cop ies last week. The Top 25 all exceeded 50,000 sales, while the 79 biggest sellers cleared the 10,000 mark. In the Top 50, only three albums failed to increase sales week-on-week.
The Darkness' One Way Ticket To Hell And Back dives 11-34 after sales collapsed by 46.6% to 36,100. Reality TV graduates G4 and Will Young were the other losers, with Young's third album Keep On falling 12-20 after a minor 4.2% dip to 62,693, while G4's second album, G4 And Friends, was off 21.5% at 76,225, and retreats 6-13 as a result.
With his second solo single No Worries in the Top 10 for the fifth straight week, former Blue star Simon Webbe's debut album, Sanctuary, has remained virtually static since its release four weeks ago but its rapidly escalating sales are typical of the market at this time of the year. Thus far, Sanctuary has moved 28-29-30-26, while its weekly sales have progressed 18,966-24,799-35,814 -49,621.
With most of the big guns already in battle, Girls Aloud's new album Chemistry is the solitary new entry to the Top 50 this week, and debuts at number 11 with sales of 81,962 more than would have been required to be number one 22 times this year. Their What Will The Neighbours Say album opened at number six exactly a year ago on sales of 85,717, while their 2003 debut Sound Of The Underground debuted at number two during the less frenetic month of May, with sales of just 37,077.
Fthe only other new release able to penetrate the Top 75 came from Korn.
Fanbase acts releasing albums in December are naturally setting themselves up for disappointing chart positions, and such is the case for nu metal veterans Korn, whose seventh studio album See You On The Other Side attracted 12,118 fans last week but has to settle for a below par number 71 debut. The band's first album for Virgin, it appears two years to the week after their final Sony studio album, Take A Look In The Mirror, which was similarly unflattered by a number 53 debut for first week sales of 14,976.
The Christmas gift buying season in full swing, James Blunt's debut album Back To Bedlam continues to prosper. The album sold 327 copies this week in 2004 but 94,946 copies last week and climbs 10-7 on the chart as a result. The runaway best-seller of 2005 has now sold 1,893,400 copies this year, and will easily reach the 2m mark by year's end. The only album to sell 2m. copies in a calendar year thus far in the 21st Century is Dido's Life For Rent, which sold 2,168,302 copies in 2003.
Also doing well, Clarkson's Breakaway album continues to reap the rewards of her growing exposure. Although it slips 8-9, the album sold 83,980 copies last week - that's by far its best weekly sales to date, and take its year-to-date tally to 623,629.
With new single Advertising Space set for release today (12th), Robbie Williams' latest album Intensive Care is picking up pace again, with sales last week up 29.2% at 132,632 propelling its 48 day tally to 970,763. Williams will also be earning healthy residuals from the sale of the Take That compilation Never Forget - The Ultimate Collection, which sold a further 111,666 copies last week (its best weekly tally yet and a 13.4% improvement week-on-week) to take its 27 day sales tally to 390,188 - excellent, though down on the 503,010 copies their 1998 Greatest Hits album sold in the same timespan. Williams' album holds at number two, and Take That's album is likewise unmoved at number four.
Singles are missing out on the bonanza, with overall sales last week of 1,030,008 representing only a 3% increase over the previous week, with physical sales down 4% at 329,338 and downloads improving 5.9% to 700,670. Only the Top 10 singles sold more than 10,000 copies, and there were only three debuts in the Top 10, these being for Sugababes, The Strokes and DHT.
Despite a decline of 28.8% to 31,311 sales, Pussycat Dolls secure a second straight week at the top of the singles chart with StickWitU. Although it finishes up 25.9% ahead of nearest challenger Madonna's Hung Up - which rebounds 3-2 on sales down 21.1% at 24,874 - StickWitU sold fewer copies last week than any number one for 14 weeks, though the Las Vegas troupe's debut album PCD climbs 13-10 this week, and turns in another strong performance, upping its sales week-on-week by 37.5% to 82,193, and increasing its 13 week cume to 307,901.
10 weeks ago, Sugababes' Push The Button dethroned Pussycat Dolls' Don't Cha - but follow-up Ugly can't compete with StickWitU or Madonna's Hung Up, and settles for a number three debut with 21,107 sales. Sugababes' 14th hit may fall short of glory itself but parent album Taller In More Ways catapults 21-8 on sa les of 91,035 - 99.3% higher than last week, and far more than the 65,781 sales it recorded when debuting at number one, eight weeks ago. Cumulative sales of 396,502 lift Sugababes' total album sales to over 2m.
The first big new release of 2006 will be The Strokes' third album First Impressions Of Earth, which is set to drop on 2 January. Ahead of that, the band's first single for a year, Juicebox, debuts at number five this week on sales of 15,821. The band's only previous Top 10 entry, 12:51, debuted at number seven in October 2003 on sales of 14,297, while their sixth Top 40 hit and most recent single, The End Has No End debuted at number 27 last November on sales of 2,996.
Received wisdom is that dance music doesn't sell in America, and although that is largely true, occasionally a dance record will defy convention to become a major hit. One such record is Belgian duo DHT's remake of Roxette's Listen To Your H eart, which became only the second record by a dance act to go Top 10 on the Hot 100 in five years, peaking at number eight in March. It belatedly follows suit in the UK, debuting at number seven this week on sales of 12,568.
Westlife's latest single, You Raise Me Up, was named as Record Of The Year in ITV's televised annual competition of the same name on Saturday (10th). It's the Irish band's fourth win in the seven years of the competition. You Raise Me Up holds at number four this week, with sales down 17.5% at 16,491. It is certain to be joined in the Top 10 next week by follow-up When You Tell Me That You Love Me, on which Westlife are joined by Diana Ross. All this is good news for the band's latest album Face To Face, which rebounds 5-3 this week with sales up 27.6% at 124,647. taking its six week tally to 713,257 copies.

Author recruits friend to publish first book
May 21, 2013
By Joe Grove
Issaquah resident Brenda Elser and her friend Kristin Loehrmann, of Renton, recently published their first novel, "The Case of the Halloween Heist," a joint effort.
The book, a "whodunnit" mystery, appeals mostly to second- through fourth-graders. It seems all of the kids in the story got up the morning after Halloween and found their Halloween candy missing, replaced by dental floss. What could be more evil?
"We were working together at the time and we had gone on some long walks together, and we had some joint ideas," Elser said of when they started writing the book. "I started the first chapter and then passed it over to Kristin."
They didn't pass it back and forth chapter by chapter.
"We would write whatever inspired us and usually pass it to the other with a cliff hanger," she said.
Loehrmann said the story is Halloween based, and there are three main characters — Ava, Robert and Lauren. Ava and her mother have a special connection and a mysterious background, as Mom is magical.
"What she does for the kids is to nudge them in areas rather than giving them all the answers," Loehrman said. "She sends them outdoors to talk to Jack O' Lantern, who opens their eyes to a fairy trail, and that is when they realize the tooth fairy is in on it."
Elser said they thought they were very clever with the first draft until they sent it to the editor.
"She is a fabulous editor and her name is Pamela Greenwood," Elser said. "She did a write up for us and asked a lot of questions. Where is this going, or have you thought of this? Mostly all the questions she asked made us think more expansively and made us think in the line of a series. The story changed a lot."
Loehrmann said they have taken the book into classrooms to read it aloud and find that it works best with second- to fourth-graders.
"There is a particular chapter I thought was the best chapter, that kind of launched the kids into the mystery without giving too many details, and of course there was a fantastic cliff hanger at the end that left the kids wanting more."
She said the kids would ask them for their autographs and their business cards, and ask, "When is the next one coming out?"
Elser said she goes with Loehrmann to read in classrooms.
"So far, Kristin has done the reading," Elser said. "While she is reading, I am dramatic with my facial expressions and my exclamations, and at the end, we'll do pictures with the kids showing what they might look like if they saw a ghost."
Loehrmann said the kids see her around the school where she volunteers for various things, so when they show up to read, the kids say, "You wrote that? How long did it take to write something so long?
"I try to reinforce what the teachers teach, so I say we first came up with a bubble map (a type of graphic organizer for brainstorming) and then we had to revise it again, and again, and again." She said the kids roll their eyes over the revise comments. "I tell the kids I love commas. 'Let's eat Grandmother.' Or, 'Let's eat, Grandmother.' My father taught me early on that the comma is a big deal."
Both authors say they are thrilled to be writing. Loehrmann said she took to writing as a 5-year-old after she showed her artist father a drawing of a human face. Instead of telling her how wonderful it was, he pointed out everything wrong with it. At that point, she was done with art and took to writing. She wrote her first novel, "In the Way of Boys," in the sixth grade.
"I am horrified to read it. It was a thinly veiled diary," she said.
Elser said she, too, was writing very young.
"I was writing plays, and I would gather all the neighborhood kids together and assign them parts in my plays," she said.
Both authors said, "You dedicate time and plug away at it if you want to do this. You put the time in."
Their effort paid off as is evident by the reviews being posted on Amazon.com. One reviewer said, "My 8-year-old son read this book … and he loved it." Another one said, "It's a great book for young readers. Looking forward to the next Magical Mystery book."
The illustrations add a comedic excitement to the book. They were done by New York illustrator Rose Mary Berlin.
"We were very lucky to find her," the authors said. She is an experienced illustrator, and the authors located her through the Internet.
"She is fabulous," they said. "She holds your hand and leads you along the way, and she is very enthusiastic about our concept."
"The Case of the Halloween Heist" is the first in the "Magical Mystery Series." The authors have two more manuscripts in the works with one ready to send to their editor.

From Eoghan's Archive 4: May 2011 – '208′ fostering radio documentary
In March 2011, I was working on a 28-minute radio documentary and I said that I hoped to make it available soon. I'm delighted to announce that I've been true to my word and now, only two years late (and on World Radio Day), I can present my first ever radio documentary: 208.
This tells the story of my grandmother, Sheila Hayes, who fostered (an estimated) 208 children over a 25-year period. Unfortunately she died well in advance of my decision to tell her story, but I asked my mother and aunt (herself adopted by my grandparents) to build a picture of their mother.
The sound quality and general production could be better, but give it a listen and decide for yourself. If you're interested in fostering, know someone who might be, or would just like to make a genuine difference to a child's life, please go to the Irish Foster Care Association website. You don't need to foster a child (or 208), a donation is equally helpful.

Justin Bieber is making the most of his theft situation as the 18-year-old used rumors of a naughty leaked photo to promote his newest music video, "Beauty and the Beat."
The "Boyfriend" singer took to Twitter Wednesday to vent to fans that his personal camera and laptop had gone missing. Only hours later a racy photoshopped 'could-be-Justin' pic surfaced online causing many fans to wonder if they were staring at the teen heart-throb's member.
Now, Biebs is making the most out of his losses, taking to Twitter to let off some steam. He writes, "since i was 14 i have had a lot of things said about me, from dying, to taking hormones, to dying again, to stuff about my family..."
He continues, "to saying i had a baby with a woman i never even met. nude pics, drugs, my family, my character...but today...today i get to be in on it.."
Bieber then teased news outlets, writing stories as to what was going on by adding the hastag #noon in front of their stories. At 12 noon Eastern time, the Biebs revealed a new music video with controversial American Idol judge, Nicki Minaj.
"so to all of you... enjoy. let's go for the 10 million mark! Me, @NickiMinaj - this is #BEAUTYandaBEAT –" he wrote.
So who got the last laugh, Bieber or the thief who stole and potentially "leaked" his personal info. Check out the new music video below:

Well I grew up quick and I grew up mean, and whatever else Johnny Cash said that sounds cool.
My story is like anyone else's really. I was born at the age of 12 to a pair of single parents. It is hard being a single parent. Especially when there is another single parent around constantly trying to have sex with you.
I grew up in Tuscaloosa, AL, where I began wearing socks at an early age. Before you know it, I was typing paragraphs about myself on myspace.
At the age of 26, I decided that I should have been doing stand-up comedy for awhile now. Why? Because I'm never serious. And because I would very much like to earn a living being unserious. I would also like to earn a living making up words. Man, that would be swerific.
