Union government has acted against wishes of people by managing a super-sonic cremation of the brave girl in early morning hours without giving people a chance to pay homage. If bodies of political leaders can be kept for 'darshan' for long and 'samadhis' created against norms set by Union Cabinet, then it was the fittest case for cremation with full state-honour and a memorial created at cremation-site like is done for deceased former Presidents and Prime Ministers.
Without revealing identity of the brave physiotherapy student, it may not be possible to honour her posthumously with country's highest civilian award for bravery namely Ashok Chakra, an honour undoubtedly deserved by her.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 31, 2012) – When the ETSU softball team looks back on the opening weekend of Atlantic Sun Conference play, the Bucs will know they let three games get away from them – including a pair on Saturday against Mercer.
In game one, the Bucs led 3-1 through four innings of play and had the game-tying run on second in the seventh before Mercer hung on for a 4-3 win. Then, in the nightcap, the Blue and Gold had the bases loaded with one out in the seventh when game-one winner Jessica Holsinger came in to pick up her first collegiate save in a 3-2 win at Betty Basler Field.
Following the sweep, the Bucs have now dropped four straight and saw their record dip to 10-20, 0-4, while Mercer improved to 22-14, 3-1 in A-Sun play.
Game One Recap
Despite jumping out to a three-run lead after an inning of play, the Bucs couldn't muster up any more offense and Mercer rallied with a three-run fifth to take the opener, 4-3.
ETSU left seven runners stranded – including two in the seventh inning – when the Blue and Gold had the tying run at second and the go-ahead run at first, before Jessica Holsinger forced Casey Horner (Whitesburg, Tenn.) to hit into a game-ending roller to third.
The Bucs were led offensively by Jackie Baird's (Ooltewah, Tenn.) two-hit, two-RBI game, while Alex Everett (Soddy Daisy, Tenn.) poked a double and scored a run. Baird drove in her two runs with a double in the first, while Everett also doubled and scored on Baird's two-bagger.
Once again, sophomore righty Katie Wolff (LaGrange, Texas) pitched well enough to earn the win, but she suffered another loss to see her record drop to 4-10. Wolff allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits in the complete game effort, while after Holsinger issued three first-inning runs, she kept the Bucs off the board for the final six innings to improve her mark to 11-2.
After Katie Wolff sent the Bears down in order to start the game, the Blue and Gold jumped on Holsinger by plating three runs on three hits to take a 3-0 lead after one inning of play. With one out, the Bucs began the offensive explosion when Tara Hartnett (Snellville, Ga.) singled through the right side and moved to third on Everett's fourth double of the season. Following a walk to Horner to load the bases, Baird came through with the two-RBI double to left and Marlina Delisa (Tucson, Ariz.) gave ETSU the three-run cushion when her sac-fly RBI scored Horner.
Unfortunately, that was the only offense generated by the Bucs for the remainder of the game and Mercer took advantage of it.
The Bears put a run on the board in the top of the second when Sara Stukes sent a two-out laser over the fence in the left for her fifth homer of the season, making it a 3-1 game.
With momentum hanging in the balance, the Bears shifted it to their side in the fifth when Mercer scored three runs on three hits and one costly error to take its first lead of the game, 4-3. The Bears plated their first run on a RBI double by Marko, but as Randi Rea tried to score from second, she was gunned down at the plate on the relay. However, following the double, McKenzie Woody scored the tying run on a passed ball, while Marko came in when Horner had the ball go right through the legs at first – giving the visitors from Macon a one-run advantage.
The Bucs – who were sent down in order in the fifth and sixth innings – didn't go down without a fight as Amy Campbell (Chattanooga, Tenn.) led off the seventh with an infield single and moved into scoring position on Everett's two-out single up the middle. However, with two outs and runners on first and second, Horner couldn't post her 23rd RBI of the season as Holsinger got the red-shirt freshman to end the game on a ground out.
Wolff did a tremendous job keeping Woody, the A-Sun's leading hitter (entering play on Saturday), in check. Woody didn't record a hit, but did score the unearned run via the passed ball after being hit by a pitch in the fifth.
Game Two Recap
Senior Marlina Delisa went 2-for-3 and drove in a pair of runs; however, after her RBI single in the sixth evened things at two, Mercer's Kristin Marko broke the hearts of the Buccaneer faithful when she drove in the game-winning run with a two-out RBI single in the seventh to cap off the sweep, 3-2.
After falling behind by a pair runs in the top of the first, senior righty Shelby Morris (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) kept her team in it by holding the Bears to the one run on six hits in the final six innings of play. The Bucs rewarded the Mt. Juliet, Tenn. native with a RBI single to center in the second and Delisa came through again with a two-out RBI single in the sixth to pull even at two.
Unfortunately, the game didn't stay tied for long, as Mercer went ahead for good on the Marko single, but just like in game one the Bucs looked like they were going to pull off the comeback.
Senior outfielder Annie Martin (Centerville, Tenn.) led off the seventh with a double and freshman infielder Haley Thompson (Nicholson, Ga.) ripped her second hit of the game with a single to right, which ended the afternoon for starting pitcher Kassie Bailey. Jessica Holsinger was handed the ball and she quickly forced Alex Everett to foul out to first, but the Mercer pitcher loaded the bases after issuing a six-pitch walk to Casey Horner. However, Holsinger battled back as she struck out Jackie Baird swinging and ended the game by getting Sam Lower (Sebring, Fla.) to hit a soft pop up back to the circle.
Bailey earned the win (7-5) despite surrendering 10 hits, while Holsinger earned the save (1) after tossing one inning of shutout ball. Morris was tagged with the loss (2-7) as she allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits in the complete game effort.
The Bears carried the positive momentum into the nightcap as Mercer pushed two runs across the dish in the top of the first to grab the early, 2-0 lead. Bailey's one-out double to the gap in left-center plated the first run of the game, while she came in to score on a fielding error by Lower at short – which would have ended the inning.
ETSU threatened in the bottom half of the inning when Thompson laced a one-out double to left-center and moved to third on Everett's ground out; however, following an intentional pass to Horner, Bailey worked out of the minor jam by inducing Baird to hit into an inning-ending grounder to third.
The Blue and Gold scratched a run across the plate in the bottom of the second to cut the deficit in half, 2-1, but ETSU missed out on a bigger inning. Lower led off the frame with a single to shallow center and later moved to third when Tara Hartnett reached on an infield to single to short. However, Hartnett was tagged out at second as she tried to advance when a throwing error by Sara Stukes went into right field. Eventually, Lower scored on the first of two RBI singles by Delisa – but instead of having runners on the corners following the Delisa single – ETSU only had the senior designated player standing on first and the Bucs couldn't push the tying run across the dish.
In the fourth, ETSU had the tying run on third with two outs, but Martin hit a hard liner to Krista Kennedy at second and she snagged it for the final out of the inning, leaving Hartnett stranded out at third.
However, after staying calm and collected, the Blue and Gold finally broke through again in the sixth on the second RBI single by Delisa to pull even at two.
The lead didn't last long though, as the Bears plated the game-winning run with two outs in the seventh to capture their second one-run victory of the afternoon.
Again, ETSU battled until the final out was made, but the Blue and Gold were left standing with their 10th one-run setback of the season and third of the weekend.
The Bucs will now have a week off before they return to the diamond as ETSU travels to Spartanburg, S.C. for a conference twinbill with USC Upstate on Saturday, April 7. First pitch is set for 4 p.m. at Cyrill Stadium.

Turfway Park will host the first Quarter Mania and Craft Fair for ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a motor neuron disease often called Lou Gehrig's disease, on Thursday, Nov. 14.
This fair is being held by The ALS Association Kentucky Chapter, one of 45 chapters nationwide that work to fund research, patient care, and family and caregiver support.
The doors will open at 6 p.m. for the craft and vendor fair. More than 30 vendors featuring products, home goods and crafts will be featured. Turfway Park will provide food and drinks for Quarter Mania. The quarter auction will begin at 7 p.m. with an intermission to check out the vendor tables.
"We look forward to making this an annual event and continuing our awareness efforts for ALS year-round" said Jennifer Lepa, administrative project coordinator for The ALS Association's Kentucky Chapter in Villa Hills. "For the first year holding this event our goal is to raise $5,000 through the efforts of at least 200 attendees."
Space is still available for vendors by calling 859-331-1384 or emailing Jennifer Lepa at firstname.lastname@example.com. Attendees are encouraged to call or email to reserve a table for their group of family, friends, or co-workers for the quarter auction if they would like to sit together.
Admission to the craft and vendor fair is $1, if attendees wish to attend the fair and also participate in the quarter auction the fee is $5 which includes three bidding paddles.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks cells in the brain and spinal cord, affecting control of voluntary motor function. The ability to walk, talk, swallow and even breathe progressively deteriorates, and in the later stages most patients become paralyzed. The mind and memory are not affected by the disease. The rate of progression varies, but life expectancy after diagnosis averages two to five years with a 100 percent fatality rate. ALS occurs throughout the world and crosses all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic boundaries. Ninety percent of cases have no known genetic component; about 10 percent appear to be hereditary. Statistics show that those who have served in the military are two to three times more likely to get ALS. No cure or treatment currently exists to halt or reverse ALS, several drugs are currently in clinical trial, and research is ongoing.
Kentucky also is home to the Kentucky Neurosciences Institute at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, one of only 33 ALS Association Certified Centers nationwide. The centers offer highly specialized care across multiple disciplines for patients and their families.
Parking is free.

Lonely Guy
Laura Leon
Punch-Drunk Love
by Paul Thomas Anderson
Adam Sandlers movies have always thrown me for a loop. Usually,
he plays a goofily loveable sort, but the ensuing comedic
situations are, in my opinion, fraught with hostility, making
them not so much comedies in the I laughed so hard my stomach
hurt vein, but movies that ever so gingerly touch on the
thin line that separates comedy from tragedy. Theres nothing
wrong with that, of course, except for the fact that movies
like Little Nicky and Big Daddy seemed afraid
of embracing that latent hostility, or harnessing it into
something more potent.
With Punch-Drunk Love, written and directed by Paul
Thomas Anderson, Sandler is given the chance to play that
hostility for all its worth. And yet, his Barry Egan, a socially
repressed manufacturer of powder-room accessories, is probably
his most endearing character to date. Our greatest comedians
are often our best actors (again, its that thin-line thing);
here, Sandler proves the point with a performance that is
achingly realized and surprisingly nuanced.
Barry is the type of guy who hopes business associates call
him at home, so desperate is he to have a chance at a conversation.
When he calls a phone-sex hotline, he is more intent on having
a human connection than he is in whacking off. Simultaneously
coddled and bullied by seven older sisterswomen who make
the Chinese edict on controlling the growth of the female
population seem infinitely sensibleBarry seems perpetually
on the verge of descending into nothingness, so when Lena
(Emily Watson) shows an interest in him, he is both humbly
intrigued and terrified. This manifests itself in stilted
first-date conversation and the destruction of the restaurants
mens room. Deep down, you see, Barrys got a hair-trigger
Despite the subplot contrivance of the phone-sex lady being
employed by a Utah rip-off artist (Phillip Seymour Hoffman)
who tries to wreak havoc on Barrys credit line, Punch-Drunk
Love is really a character study posing as a love story.
One cant help but wonder what on earth seemingly normal Lena
sees in Barry, and the potential manipulative reasoning behind
her attraction is always palpable beneath the sweet interplay
between the two. I mean, is this chick into bagging a guy
she can completely control? The off-kilter nature of the romance
translates as well to Barrys quest for frequent-flier miles
(via the purchase of thousands of Healthy Choice single-serving
puddings) and his relationship with his employers. This being
a Paul Thomas Anderson film, though, the off-kilter is normal.
Despite its unevenness, Punch-Drunk Love is capable
of astounding, in no small part to Sandlers truly magnificent
dramatic turn.
at Sea
by Guy Ritchie
Madonna is deluded, and Guy Ritchie is a punk. This is not
to say that their first cinematic collaboration is a complete
abomination. There have been worse films released this yearthough
few have been as pointlessas this remake of Lina Wertmüllers
moldy 70s art-house relic, Swept Away by an Unusual Destiny
in the Blue Sea of August. The problem is that Madonna
thinks shes a sensitive actress, and hubby-director Ritchie
doesnt have the guts to tell her otherwise. Thus Swept
Away, a story of class-consciousness and tragic romance,
is as sincere and heartfelt as a Wonderbra.
Amber (Madonna) is rich, spoiled, and miserable. Off on a
yachting vacation in the Mediterranean with her husband (Bruce
Greenwood) and friends, she seems determined to make everyone
as unhappy as she is.
Shes a bitch on wheelsliterally. The image of angular Madonna
as Amber angrily peddling away on an exercise bike, face contorted
in rage, suggests Margaret Hamilton as Miss Gulch in The
Wizard of Oz, furiously riding off with Dorothys little
dog, Toto, in her basket.
Amber vents most of her misplaced anger on Giuseppe (Adriano
Giannini), the deckhand assigned to indulge her whims. She
mispronounces his nickname Pepe as Pee-pee, forces him
to do menial tasks over and over again, and generally tries
to humiliate him. Madonna proves, again, that she has fine
comic instincts in these scenes. Of course, before you can
say The Admirable Crighton (or Gilligans Island),
Amber and Giuseppe are marooned on a deserted island. The
slave becomes the master, and, after some rough emotional
foreplay, the mistress becomes a willing slave.
The faux-Marxist politics left over from the original film
are clumsy at best. The dramatic kick of the original film
originated in the sexual heat between the lead characters;
inanely, Ritchie has jettisoned raw lust for love. Madonna
cannot do love on screenher performance in the latter part
of the film ranges from bland to embarrassing.
This doesnt mean Madonna is irredeemably terrible, or couldnt
be a movie starshe walked away with Desperately Seeking
Susan, her film debut of nearly two decades ago, and her
Eva Peron in Evita was very effective in the grand
pop-star manner. Thats just two films, however. It is curious
that someone so completely assured when it comes to her own
celebrity and self-image would have no clue how to translate
her persona to the silver screen. Good heavensdidnt she
learn anything from the documentary about her, Truth or
Dare? When it comes to movies, Madonna doesnt want to
be Madonna, the queen of popa superwoman able to continually
reinvent herself, transgress sexual boundaries and make careerism
seem like art. Madonna wants to be Meryl Streep. Until she
lets go of this fixation, her films will continue to suck.
French Disconnection
Truth About Charlie
by Jonathan Demme
Adapted from Peter Stones 1963 script for Charade,
Jonathan Demmes grindingly contemporary remake, The Truth
About Charlie, has about as much in common with that charming
romantic thriller as former thug Mark Wahlberg has with Cary
Granthis predecessor as the mysterious suitor who helps a
clueless widow (Thandie Newton in the Audrey Hepburn role)
discover the truth about her murdered husband, Charles (Stephen
Dillane), an international art dealer.
Naive Regina (Newton) meets Joshua Peters (Wahlberg) in Martinique;
returning to Paris, she discovers that her husband has been
whacked and their palatial apartment ransacked, and that shes
suspected by Commandant Dominique (Christine Boisson), who
shoots her smoldering looks in between inanely accusatory
questions. The investigator also sets her smoldering eyes
on Joshua, who makes fraught with meaning eye contact with
the trio of goons who are trailing Regina. Regina blithely
accepts Joshuas ambivalent attentions, seemingly because
she doesnt have anything better to do. When not coming on
to each other, everyone just runs around in airports, train
stations and traffic-clogged back alleys, looking for the
$6 million rumored to be stashed away by the shady Charles.
Pressuring Regina to stay in the game is a benevolent American
military attaché (Tim Robbins). But of course, no one is whom
they say they are.
Its all pretty ridiculous and tiresome, especially the erotic
frissons between all the players (expressed with too-close-for-comfort
close-ups). Demme has stated that Charlie is his homage
to the French New Wave, and sure enough, New Wave muse Anna
Karina makes a cameo as a cabaret singer, with Gallic icon
Charles Aznavour popping up as a one-man Greek chorus. But
though its shot in an exaggeratedly Breathless style,
with the camera whirling around the characters like an annoying
dragonfly, the film owes more to Tom Twyker (Run Lola Run)
and other video-game-influenced directors than it does to
the French cinematic liberation of the 1960s. Theres a girlie
goon named Lola (Lisa Gay Hamilton), who has the hots for
Regina; distracting fast-motion and slow-motion snippets;
and flashbacks to Sarajevo, shot on video stock to laughably
cheesy effect.
Even more tedious is Demmes counterintuitive casting. Newton
shines in a role that any actress with wide eyes, long legs
and an adorable shriek could play, but Wahlberg barely registers.
With his animal magnetism muffled by some really dreadful
wardrobe choices (tweed coat and beret among them), and utterly
lacking the charismatic self-assurance required to lure Regina
into a possibly dangerous liaison, Joshua comes off as a bored
hanger-on. Robbins avuncular attaché (played in the original
by Walter Matthau) is nearly as bland, and Ted Levine, indelibly
creepy as Buffalo Bill the serial killer in Demmes The
Silence of the Lambs, has the thankless job of going
over the top as an appallingly gratuitous weirdo.
Its likely that Demme was aiming for the same edgy shifts
in comedic tone that made his early indie film Something
Wild a cult favorite, but here, jumping from queasy violence
to pseudo-hipster flippancy only weakens what little forward
motion the plot contains. Revelations about the characters
follow a pointlessly circular logic, and despite all the frenzied
pacing and foot racing through Paris, the film goes nowhere.

"We were a bit worried about ordering invites sight unseen from the US, so we ordered a couple different samples first.... They arrived quickly and every single invite was pretty and professional looking! When we finally placed our actual order, we took another risk and orderded it in a colour other than our sample and absolutely love it! We really appreciated the fact that before they complete your order they send you an email with the prototype that they have looked over and offer ways to improve the look.. And they were right in all their suggesstions! We couldn't be happier :-)"
"I ordered the Antique Border invitations in the dark red colour and got these for our reception to match. I asked WeddingPaperDivas to take off the Table.... so we just had the two border lines and I wrote names on the cards. They looked great, very classic and simple and the paper quality was excellent - easy to fold and the cards stood up really well."
"I was able to personalize these Place Cards with our first names at the top and the data of our wedding on the bottom. The colors matched our theme perfectly! The paper quality was very good and held up well. All the guests kept theirs as another favor!"
"Got this to go with my floral flurry themed invites to tie the whole look together. Love everything about it. Customer service was incredible in removing the table # line from my invites as I plan on using them as place cards instead. great customer service when I had questions too. Gorgeous!"
"We used this at our recent wedding & they were awesome! I received a lot of compliments on them. I loved how you could get them to match the invitations...I only wish they had table number cards to match."

|Correlation of first-trimester fetal crown-rump length with outcome of pregnancy and birth weight.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22944214 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of crown-rump length (CRL) in the first trimester with low birth weight and adverse pregnancy outcome. METHODS: In a prospective cross-sectional study, CRL was measured in 876 healthy pregnant women undergoing ultrasound evaluation between 9 and 14weeks of gestation. Birth weight and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed for the 544 participants who met the study criteria. RESULTS: Low (<2500g) and high (>4000g) birth weights were correlated with the difference between actual and expected CRL expressed in days of gestation, but no correlation was found between the difference between actual and expected CRL and premature delivery. Low birth weight (P=0.005) and abortion (P=0.03) were also correlated with the difference between actual and expected CRL. CONCLUSION: Routinely measuring CRL during the first trimester to detect CRLs shorter than expected for gestational age could be useful to obstetricians. Anticipating a low birth weight and being warned about the possibility of abortion would enable them to manage prenatal care and delivery more appropriately.

Fat girls take note: If you show off the good parts, nobody will care about the rest.
Fat? and this is why so many girls have anorexia people.
She is no where near fat at all,she´s a very natural beautify with a curvaceous feminine body.
Since when are abs,completely round,fake looking boobs and sharp edges sexy on a woman? Since magazines and TV tell us that that´s what women are supposed to look like?
A womans body is supposed to look soft,inviting and its supposed to bounce..it gives men something to sink their hands and teeth in to ;)
Natural is sexy..at least when someone is intimate with a natural beauty,he wont feel like he´s putting his penis into a bucket of lego!
I agree! As someone who's recovered from anorexia, I commend Demi for overcoming her demons and allowing herself to be HEALTHY as well as BEAUTIFUL. Good for her.
Shut up fatty, accept that skinny girls, abs and big tits are just hotter.
ya she's fat
I don't think she's fat. She's got a nicely shaped body, not just in these photos, but in others. I like a girl that doesn't look like she's going to fall over if a good stiff breeze comes by.
I meant BEAUTY..stupid cat on my keyboard!! lol.
is this sexy? looks like a man chest sort of..
Those calling her fat, you're all f-cked. She looks amazing! She is curvy, and beautiful. A REAL woman.
She would look great with a pearl necklace.

Fifth-gen iPad, second-gen iPad mini could upgrade to 8MP rear camera
updated 02:49 pm EDT, Wed October 2, 2013
May bring tablets close to parity with iPhone 5s
The fifth-generation iPad and the second-generation iPad mini may both be upgrading to an 8 megapixel rear camera, says KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Both iPad lines are currently stuck with a 5 megapixel camera, similar to the one on the iPhone 4. Kuo further suggests that the new tablets will be capable of larger apertures, potentially putting them on par with the iPhone 5s.
True parity with the 5s would require two other features, however. No iPad model has ever come equipped with a flash for instance, since the camera on that device is meant more for tasks like scanning and augmented reality than snapshots. The 5s also has a physically larger sensor than previous Apple products, giving it better light sensitivity.
New iPads are typically forecast to be announced sometime later this month. Beyond new cameras, upgrades should include things like faster processors, more RAM, and Touch ID sensors. The fifth-gen iPad is expected to adopt a slimmer Mini-like design, while the Mini itself should gain a Retina display.

Kirby Lester announced its KL1 compact tablet counter has exceeded the company's expectations to become the most successful product launch in the company's four-decade history.
Kirby Lester began distributing the KL1 to customers in October 2011. The KL1 was quickly adopted nationwide at chain, independent and hospital outpatient pharmacies due to its fast and accurate counting in a tiny footprint.
"We hit a nerve with the KL1. Our customers tell us they have always liked our tablet counters over the years, but they simply love this new device!" says Christopher Thomsen, Vice President of Business Development. "We set out to 'make a better mousetrap,' and that old saying came true. Our pharmacy and manufacturing customers have beaten a path to our door."
The KL1's universal appeal stems from several factors:
The world's smallest tablet counter (at just 6"W x 12"H, its footprint is about the same size as the old-fashioned counting tray)
Fast operation (the KL1 counts 15-18 tablets per second)
Unique new functions like Inventory Mode and a new tray design
In 1971, Kirby Lester changed the way pharmacists dispensed medications with the introduction of the first tabletop counter. Over the next 40 years, the Kirby Lester tablet counter became a mainstay atop pharmacy dispensing stations. Each new model that Kirby Lester released (KL7, KL8, KLX and the KL15e) was an improvement over the preceding model. The new KL1 is the product of Kirby Lester's expertise in counting accuracy, ease of use and overall efficiency. The KL1 is the company's fifth new product launch in five years.
Rivaling the KL1 for fast customer acceptance has been the Kirby Lester KL60 compact robot, which also has impressed the pharmacy industry since installations began in early 2010. Kirby Lester alone offers pharmacies a full line of options from accurate and fast tabletop counting to the industry's only affordable, compact robotic dispenser.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - A federal judge has approved a deal to dismiss a discrimination lawsuit against celebrity cook Paula Deen.
U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore Jr. in Savannah signed an order Monday officially closing the case. Attorneys for Deen and an ex-employee who sued the former Food Network star last year signed off on the deal when it was disclosed Friday. Both sides agreed to pay their own court costs and attorney fees. No other terms were disclosed.
Former restaurant manager Lisa Jackson had accused Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, of race discrimination and sexual harassment. Deen was being questioned under oath in the case in May when she acknowledged using racial slurs in the past. The Food Network and other business partners severed ties with her soon afterward.

SternoCandleLamp™ 40106 15-Hour Votive Candle - 144 / CS
There is significant variability between orders of these "15-hr" candles. When I ordered them last year, the product lasted 15+ hours and burned completely. This year's product is a different color (pure white vs last year's slightly yellow wax) and rarely lasts 15 hours. I've burned the candles from both years in the same receptacles; so, I know that is nit a factor. This year's candles appear to have a smaller diameter wick, making them frequently self-extinguish when first lighted. When the do burn, they do not generate enough I heat to consume all of the wax. The glass votives always have a ~1/16 in. rim of unburied wax on the sides of the votives, meaning I'm paying for candle wax that is not used. Last year's candles are superior to those available now. Stereo changed the formula of the wax and made the wicks narrower. Not a good decision.

A puppy, that is.
Yep, the Biebs and his gal took their relationship to the next level by becoming co-parents to a new pooch this weekend.
Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez are currently in Bieber's native Canada, where Gomez is on tour. Last Friday, the couple took a break from their music careers and spent afternoon at the D'Arcy's A.R.C. animal shelter visiting some puppies.
Gomez, who is already mom to five rescue pups and an outspoken advocate for animal rescue, apparently became so homesick for her dogs that she decided to adopt one of the pups. She settled on a 10-week-old husky mix and named him Baylor.
According to People, D'Arcy Johnson, the shelter's CEO, said, "I wasn't expecting her to adopt a dog while she was on tour and has a busy schedule. Baylor probably would have had a bad life or a very short life. But he got rescued and brought to our shelter and is now going to live a very good life."
Despite the duo's fame, they weren't given special treatment. Gomez had to complete the standard adoption process and vetting, and after passing, was allowed to take Baylor home that day.
Now that's what we call puppy love.

EL DORADO HILLS — Pete Gough is an 8 year-old El Dorado Hills boy soaking up every ounce of lacrosse knowledge.
One of 18 kids between ages 5-10, Gough is currently participating in the second annual El Dorado Hills CSD Lacrosse Camp at Promontory Community Park. The four-week camp that meets Tuesdays allows participants to learn the fundamentals of lacrosse through challenging drills and exercises.
Played with a small rubber ball and a long-handled stick called a crosse or lacrosse stick, the objective is to score by shooting the ball into an opponent's goal, using the stick to catch, carry and pass the ball.
Skills needed for the sport and being taught at the camp are: cradling, ground balls, passing the ball and shooting the ball.
"I like throwing the ball, catching the ball, getting the ball off the ground, cradling," Gough said.
Gough said this is his first year taking part in the camp but not the first time playing lacrosse. This past school year, he played lacrosse in PE at his elementary school. He feels it's "real fun" when competing against other players.
Austin Dean, a 2012 Oak Ridge High graduate, runs the camp that's increased in size from last year.
"Last year there was around 15," Dean said. "It's a pretty comprehensive overview of the beginning tools that you'll need. We don't do any introduction of positions."
Another camper taking part is Jesse Santinn, 7, who said some of the drills are "stuff that I already know."
Dean added, "It's gone very well. They've learned at a steady rate."
Dean's assistants are former and current Trojan lacrosse players; Tanner Rosenbaum, Chad Augood and Austin Ramsey. Rosenbaum played on this year's team and Augood and Ramsey played last season.
Dean points out that most of last summer's students are now playing for the El Dorado Hills Youth Lacrosse Club. Matt Hewitt, one of the coaches for the club, said there were 375 kids — boys and girls — in grades third through eighth who played this spring. There were 23 teams with an average of 16 players per team.
The number of participants in lacrosse has continued to increase in the last decade at the high school level. According to California Interscholastic Federation's Website, 2,240 California high school boys went out for lacrosse in 2003 and that's risen dramatically to 5,323 in 2007, 8,288 in 2011 and 8,567 last year. The CIF approved the sport in 2000.
In 2003, there were 1,834 California high school girls who played lacrosse. That number increased to 3,154 in 2007, then 5,108 in 2011 and 5,432 last year.
The Sac-Joaquin Section's Website states that nine schools, including Oak Ridge, fielded lacrosse teams this past season. Oak Ridge is the only El Dorado County high school that fields boys and girls lacrosse teams. The Trojans have fielded teams since 2008, according to Trojans athletic director and girls basketball coach Steve White.
El Dorado Hills resident Grant Napear, an afternoon sports radio talk show host and the Sacramento Kings' TV play-by-play announcer, played lacrosse growing up in New York and received a scholarship to play the sport at Bowling Green State University in the late 1970s.
"(Lacrosse) provided me an opportunity to go to college," Napear said.
Case Donahue, a 2011 Oak Ridge High graduate, received a scholarship to play lacrosse at Dominican University in San Rafael, the first-ever county lacrosse player to do so. He was followed by Elizabeth Shaefer who signed with USC.
Napear's youngest son, Chase, played on the Oak Ridge High JV lacrosse team this spring. Chase, too, played in the El Dorado Hills Youth Lacrosse Club. Grant strongly feels lacrosse has become popular in the Sacramento area in recent years.
"I'm so excited how the sport has excelled in the high schools," Napear said. "The sport has come a long way from six, seven years ago."

I moved forward with a steady pace, careful not to lose my footing or stray too close to the demonic trees inhabiting these lost woods. The cracking of vicious claw like limbs reaching for me as I past was strong in my ears, filling me with dread. A steady reminder of the dangers lurking here. My hand wrapped firmly around my staff gave me little comfort.
In the distance various creatures called out to me, hungry for my flesh, stomachs yurning to make me their next meal. Winged predators pumping their leathery wings. Snarling beasts howling and nipping at each other.

C.D. Davidsmeyer, chosen by GOP leaders to replace former state Rep. Jim Watson, R-Jacksonville, in the Illinois House, says he doesn't plan a career in politics, but hopes to help find "common sense" solutions to the state's difficult problems
C.D. Davidsmeyer, chosen by GOP leaders to replace former state Rep. Jim Watson, R-Jacksonville, in the Illinois House, says he doesn't plan a career in politics, but hopes to help find "common sense" solutions to the state's difficult problems.
GOP county chairmen who oversee territory in the existing 97th House District and the new 100th House District interviewed six finalists Sunday in South Jacksonville and picked Davidsmeyer, 33, a Jacksonville alderman, to fill out Watson's current term and also serve the two-year term that begins Jan. 9. Watson ran unopposed Nov. 6 for that next term, but left the legislature after 11 years in early December to become executive director of the Illinois Petroleum Council.
"This was not a goal for me," Davidsmeyer said Monday. "It's not a career for me. I didn't think that I'd be on the city council six years ago. I definitely didn't think that I would be looking at this.
"But I think it was something that I felt I had to do. It's an important job, and we need to make sure that there's the common sense over in Springfield to get a few things accomplished that really mean something."
Davidsmeyer will be sworn in at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday in the House chamber, said Morgan County GOP Chairman Steve Hardin.
Davidsmeyer also plans to step down from his aldermanic seat. After being appointed to the council in February 2008, he won a four-year term in 2009 that was to go though April. He said he will keep his job as vice president of IRC, a company that specializes in oil-and-chip road surfaces and is a subsidiary of a family business, Illinois Road Contractors, started by his great-grandfather.
Hardin said in a statement that the area has had "the good fortune to have outstanding state representatives such as Rep. Watson for the past 11 years and Rep. (Tom) Ryder for his 18 years. C.D. has the qualifications and potential to continue this tradition."
Davidsmeyer said he is "definitely fiscally conservative," and said the GOP chairs asked good questions on fiscal issues that form "the big black cloud over the state."
On pensions, he said, he doesn't anticipate a "single fix."
"It's a big enough issue that I think we have to lay everything out on the table" and "hopefully we'll land somewhere in between" the extremes of doing nothing and doing away with pensions. He said he's not advocating a specific solution at this point.
Page 2 of 2 -
"My focus is making sure that everyone's realistic on the state of our state and what we're up against," he said, noting that Democrats will have a supermajority in the General Assembly in the new term.
"Some of the things that need to be done are going to be difficult," he said, and those issues "are not as black and white as sometimes they come across in, like, a forwarded email."
Davidsmeyer got a political science degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 2002, and worked on the Washington, D.C., staff of U.S. Rep. John Shimkus, R-Collinsville, for 2 1/2 years before returning to Jacksonville in the summer of 2006 to join his family's business.
He's been active in civic and business groups, including serving as chair of the government division of the Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce and on the legislative committee of Associated Builders and Contractors of Illinois.
Davidsmeyer and his wife, Kristen, who is a labor and delivery nurse at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, have two young sons.
The 97th includes all or parts of Morgan, Pike, Madison, Macoupin, Jersey, Greene and Calhoun counties. The new 100th adds all of Scott County and two precincts in Sangamon County.

Dawn Mercer
Senior Biologist, Oceans and Habitat Management Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada
Dawn Mercer completed an advanced diploma in Fisheries Management at the Marine Institute and a Bachelor of Science at Memorial majoring in geography. She began her Masters at Dalhousie University in maritime studies but did not complete it and is interested in finishing it at MUN. When Dawn completed her diploma at the Marine Institute her contacts at Memorial got her interested in ocean and coastal management. Through these contacts she was able to get a job on inland integrated management (IM) for a Model Forest on the west coast of Newfoundland. Dawn found that her geography degree was helpful for this job as she was drawing on her economic and cultural knowledge along with her physical geography background. After working with the Model Forest she started a job with the Department of Fisheries at an opportune time as the Oceans Act was just being formed. Dawn emphasized that her geography and IM background enabled her to have the skills for this job as it required a balance of biophysical and socioeconomic knowledge.
Dawn's current job at the Department of
Fisheries is as senior biologist, where she is the Placentia
Bay/Grand Banks Large Ocean Management (LOMA) coordinator. She
began working in this area as a coastal coordinator but now she is
also doing offshore work. Her job involves management work behind
the desk but a much larger portion is external work with
stakeholders. She works with stakeholders in many different
capacities such one-on-one meetings, focus groups and public
consultations. Currently she is working on an IM plan for the
entire LOMA which involves different aspects such as biomass, and
issues on conserving stocks.
Dawn's main advice to those graduating from geography is the importance of keeping the contacts you make while completing your degree because they may help you find a job in the future, or help you with a job you obtain. Dawn also stressed the importance of putting yourself out into the job market, whether it was by creating a job yourself if you see the opportunity, or being assertive in order to achieve the job you want.

[edit] Okay, I got that much
If the above lost you completely, Dr. Bronner's Soap is a liquid[note 1] peppermint[note 2] soap with weird quasi-religious ranting all over the label (the section above is composed entirely from verbatim passages). It is unclear exactly what his point is, except it vaguely has something to do with uniting the human race into "all-one" by following something called the "Moral ABC". For many years, nobody knew quite what the Moral ABC was, but as of May 2014 the labels explain it as apparently a syncretic quasi-religious text compiled by Bronner himself (which can be ordered from his company for 2 USD). Alongside exhortations to familiar virtues such as hard work and self-discipline are references to a weird birth control method he claims came from Essene scrolls; Bible quotes; fabricated Confucius quotes; instructions on how to use his soap in various ways to cleanse the body, mind, soul, and spirit; references to Jesus, Karl Marx, Hillel the Elder, Buckminster Fuller, Rudyard Kipling, and multilevel marketing and profitsharing schemes. Interwoven with all this are frequent allusions to a struggle between "half-truth" and "full-truth" although what Bronner means by those terms is anybody's guess (you may be noticing a pattern here).
"Dr." Bronner was born Emanuel Heilbronner in 1908 to Jewish parents in Heilbronn, Germany.[note 3] He claimed to be a Ph.D., Essene rabbi, and "master chemist". He wasn't either of the first two but one supposes anyone who made such good soap could call themselves a master chemist. Bronner emigrated to the U.S. in 1929; his parents stayed behind, and perished in the Holocaust. His wife also died in 1944, around the same time that he received news of his parents' deaths. This confluence of tragedy convinced him of the need to spread his plan for world peace. Though he never gained a large audience one particularly enthusiastic follower decided the best way to bring attention to Bronner's message was to have himself crucified, and did so.[1]
In the 1960s and into the 1970s, the hippie subculture embraced Dr. Bronner's soaps, mostly for its "far out" labels calling for peace, the fact that they could wash just about everything (their jeans, the dog, the dishes, the VW bus, themselves) with the all-natural soap, and that Dr. Bronner was a real person and not a mascot thought up by an ad agency.
Bronner died in 1997 but his soap had such a cult following by then that it is still made[note 4] and now a family business run by his children and grandchildren, with the same weird religious messages all over the label.[note 5] The company says these labels will only change as required by law, and their web site helpfully provides links to enlarged versions of the labels so that you too can "work hard to be perfect pilot-provider-builder-trainer-teacher-lover-mate, no half-true hate!"[2]
[edit] The verdict
Mostly harmless. And it's something to read in the shower.
For the record, it's really a damn good soap.[3] It builds mountains of lather from just a few drops and cuts grease like none other. It also comes in bar form and several scents other than peppermint. At any rate, admit it: you probably would not have bought this soap without reading this article first.
People like this who make at least a little bit of sense go on to become the next L. Ron Hubbard. Those who don't make any sense at all like Bronner just go up into the California hills to make soap for a living and people read the labels for the lulz.
Bronner was actually a pretty decent guy. Underneath all the craziness his messages focus on positive things like forgiveness, universal brotherhood and helping others to do their best.[4] He also espoused what he called "constructive capitalism" which says it's fine to make money (he claimed a net worth of $6 million, or around $59 million in 2015 dollars) as long as you share with your employees and the larger community. Bronner and his company have donated lots of time, money and even over 1000 acres of forested mountaintop land worth well over a million dollars to children's charities, and he was big on sustainability, fair trade and treating workers well. After his death, his children (the current owners) carried on in his footsteps, donating money and labor – and of course many crates of soap – to educational projects and other worthy endeavors around the world. The company[note 6] is a worker owned co-operative where the CEO can't make more than five times the salary of the lowest paid worker, and his family is proud of that.[5]
Sara Lamm's documentary on the man, his soap, and his legacy, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap Box, was released in 2006, and is available on DVD.
[edit] Hemp activism
Adding to the soap's popularity, the company funded and coordinated litigation against the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) when an attempt was made to make the importation of hemp oil and seeds illegal (Hemp oil is a major ingredient in the soaps). The Ninth Circuit Board of Appeals ruled against the DEA on 6 February 2004.[note 7][6] David Bronner, the good doctor's grandson, is on the Board of Advisors for the Hemp Industries Association.[7]
[edit] Minor problems
You may want to use a second empty bottle and dilute the liquid soap before you use it, unless you enjoy smelling like a breath mint.
Female Rationalists should note that his birth control method is considered ill-advised. The lemon juice will irritate and perhaps burn your insides.[8] And the peppermint variety of Dr. Bronner's soap can sting your "sensitive areas."[9]

Chivas USA kick-off Career Panel series
CARSON, Calif. (Sunday, September 30, 2012) – Chivas USA announced today the launch of the 2012 Career Panel and High School Internship Program series aimed at highlighting the importance of higher education to middle school and high school students in Los Angeles. Chivas USA has partnered with Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP for the third year in hosting these career panel series in collaboration with the Youth Policy Institute. As a strong supporter of higher education, Chivas USA will be actively participating in the career panels to promote the importance and the benefits of achieving higher education.
The first of six career panels is scheduled to kickoff Monday Oct. 1st at 11:30 a.m. (PT) at Charles Maclay Middle School. Students will have the opportunity to hear from a Chivas USA player, a ChivaGirl and Chivas USA executives, as they will share their personal struggles and successes to achieve higher education. The following career panel will be held Oct. 12 at the San Fernando Institute of Applied Media. Other locations include the Los Angeles Leadership Academy and Monseñor Oscar Romero Charter Middle School to name a few.
A new component to the career panel series this year included a Summer High School Internship Program in which three high school students from Wallis Annenberg High School had the opportunity to shadow the community affairs department staff throughout the summer and learn first-hand. The internship program also includes a $500 scholarship that will be awarded to one of the students at the conclusion of the program. The three selected interns will be asked to submit an essay about their experience, their biggest takeaways, and what they learned. The selected intern will not only be awarded a $500 scholarship, but he/she will also receive the opportunity for him/her and a guest to attend a road game for either a Chivas USA or Chivas Guadalajara match.

The Winnipeg Goldeyes have lost a little breathing room atop the North Division.
Winnipeg pitchers allowed 11 hits and issued six walks in an 8-5 loss to the St. Paul Saints Tuesday night. After Tuesday's slate of games, the Saints sit only one game behind the Goldeyes for first place in the division.
"They are already good at swinging the bats so once you give them free passes and they get guys on base like that, an eight-run game is going to happen," said Goldeyes pitching coach Jamie Vermilyea on the TSN 1290 postgame show. "We got to make them earn their way on."
The Goldeyes started the scoring in the second when Nick Liles singled to score Leonard Davis from third base. However, the Saints responded in a big way in the third inning. Craig Brazell cleared the bases with a grand slam home run off Winnipeg starter Aaron Correa to put the home side up 4-1.
Winnipeg fought their way back into the game. Liles collected his second run-scoring single in as many trips in the fourth to narrow the Saints lead to two runs. Then in the next inning, Fehlandt Lentini and Luis Alen tied the game up with back-to-back two out RBI base hits.
St. Paul quickly regained the lead in their half of the fifth. The Saints loaded the bases against Goldeyes reliever Kaohi Downing and scored three times in the inning. They added one more in the sixth off a Willie Cabrera RBI infield single to make it an 8-4 ballgame. In the seventh, Leonard Davis chipped away at the lead by ripping a solo home run that just stayed inside the foul pole. But the Goldeyes could not generate any more offence in the game's final two innings and lost by three runs.
Saints starter Anthony Claggett improved to 4-1 with the victory. He allowed four runs in six innings of work, allowing nine hits and three walks while striking out four. Matt Meyer earned his seven save of the season, striking out two in the ninth.
Downing took the loss for the Goldeyes. He allowed three runs in one inning of relief. Lentini continues to swing a hot bat for Winnipeg, going 3-for-4 at the plate to extend his hitting streak to seven games.
The rubber match of the series goes tomorrow night at Midway Stadium in St. Paul. Justin Garcia gets the nod for Winnipeg. He will match up against Saints right-hander and former Major Leaguer Mark Hamburger.
Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. and you can catch all the action with Paul Edmonds on TSN 1290, beginning with the pre-game show at 6:30 p.m.

Local libraries are booming
February 24, 2009
By David Hayes
On a recent sunny afternoon, Diana Tam, of Sammamish, was browsing the DVD aisle with her children, Jayci, 17 months, and Malia, 4, on their first trip to the Issaquah Library.
"It's been a while since I've gone to the library," said the 33-year-old mother. "It's kinda nice to bring the kids back. Plus, the library's selection is awesome. It helps when you've got to pinch pennies any way to you can these days."The Tams are among a growing number across the nation rediscovering their local public library during these hard economic times. The second busiest library system in the country is right here in King County.
"The King County Library System is No. 2 in the nation in circulation, second only to Queensborough, New York, which is bigger than us by far," said Bobbie Daniel, library cluster manager for Issaquah and Sammamish. "But we're ever hopeful."
She and Issaquah site manager Philis Bodle don't have to hope the local branch keeps up with the rest of the system. Bodle said Issaquah has had a continual rise in patronage the past two years.
"Last month alone, we had 323 new patron registrations, up from 292 last year, an 11 percent increase," Bodle said.
A clicker in the door actually tracks the number of visitors per day, which is compiled into a monthly report. The numbers continued to be in the high 30,000s, except in December, when the heavy snow kept all but the hardiest adventurers at home.
The interesting thing, Daniel said, is that patronage is up across the board in age groups. Bodle said the children's section, which features regular reading programs, has seen a general increase by about 20-30 people a week, although actual numbers haven't been compiled yet.
Even the adults are seemingly filling every available chair.
A course the library offered in its "Fiscal Fitness" series, "EBay I — The 'Basics' of eBay Selling" drew an enormous crowd — 81 squeezed into their meeting room.
"That one had unbelievable attendance," Bodle said. "That's usually the numbers we get for the children's programs."
She added that libraries are geared toward the economic times. In addition to the eBay course, the library offers courses in digital photography, interviewing and résumé building.
"With patronage up 11 percent, check-ins up 80 percent and the number of books on hold up 22 percent, that's an indicator that rather than going out and buying, people are checking out books instead," Bodle said.
Klahanie resident Dan Hatch had a big stack of books in front of him recently, many related to employment strategies and résumé writing. He admitted his wife Misty is the regular library patron.
"But I just wanted to beef up on my résumé writing. So, after seeing what Barnes and Noble had, I thought I'd see what I could get for free at the library," he said. "It's great you can find special needs like this here. And if you can't find it right away, you can put it on order in the King County Library System and they'll have it here within a few days."
Bargain hunters have been seeking cheaper books for 11 years now at the Maple Leaf Book Exchange in downtown Issaquah.
Co-owner Greg Heter, along with his wife Eva, describes the amount of business in one word — up.
"Typically, from year to year, our sales are up 10 percent," Heter said. "And I expect it to be this year as well."
Heter said the used store gets all types of readers, "from women seeking thrillers to men looking for romance novels." His store has everything in between.
"Unlike the library, there's no waiting list here," he said. "It's all first-come, first-served."
In these economic times, Heter said that if you want to own a book, it makes good economic sense to buy it used.
"And with our credit exchange system, we are actually cheaper than Goodwill," he said.
