Nice composition. Nice if the foot does not cut off at the photo.
you can improve the looks of the picture by erasing the shadow on the wall, just an opinion :)
Interesting, but it's the foot and hand being cut off, bothers me, also the shadow seems a little harsh. Don't particularly like this shot. Sorry.

I've just installed Win2K on my (1.2 ghz Asus A7V Athalon 256 mb 60 gb NTFS drive) system. I run Norton systemworks, it runs chkdsk /f (must do at boot) and it finds and (supposedly) fixes problems. I run it AGAIN and it finds more problems. Sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it does. I've used this drive before, it should be ok. Mostly, the reported error message is that free space is marked as being in use. Any other people with the same problem?
So far, no system instability, but I'd like to know how to fix this or find the real problem. Thanks!! -- Kevin
Win2k:chkdsk fix, then needs again

Make sure you have the latest version of Norton's that supports Windows 2000. I have seen people install the Windows NT version which works but not as well and the most current version.

This week, Ellen DeGeneres meets Ellen DeGeneres, Beyonce kicks off her tour, and the cutest birthday gift ever is something we can't even try to top.
Ellen DeGeneres is widely adored, especially because she's so funny, seems down-to-earth, and can take a joke. While many celebrities might get offended by impersonations done by the cast of SNL, Ellen not only invited Kate McKinnon onto the show, but encouraged Kate to do her impersonation while the two were together. Ellen even gave Kate a matching outfit to really complete the gag. The result was pretty hilarious, as seen in the video (above). Kate takes on Ellen's dance moves and even kind of sounds like her, if a bit exaggerated. I loved every second of it.

Singers Glen Historic District Walking Tour
Singers Glen is an historic settlement that is registered by the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission and the United States Department of the Interior.

He is famous for printing and publishing the "Harmonia Sacra" here in 1847, a classic Mennonite hymnal featuring "shaped notes". The people of Singers Glen invite you to follow a short self-guided "walk-about" of twenty-four 19th C. buildings and sites within the village, that will give you a glimpse of its history. Free walking tour guides are available at Harrisonburg Tourism in the Hardesty Higgins House in downtown Harrisonburg.

Enthusiast's Corner
The Pleasure of Wine, Coast to Coast
The Pleasure of Wine, Coast to Coast
Now and then, it is important to sit back and appreciate wine's ability to cast a magic spell on special occasions.
In one sense, August is like any other month of the year. Serious issues—economic, agricultural—face grapegrowers and winemakers the world over. Our valued readers have wine purchasing decisions to make. One purpose of this page is to provide guidance on these matters. However, it's summertime, and this month I'd prefer to slow down and reflect. I am taking a vacation from the issues, and from examining trends and received truths passed down by marketers. I want to relax, kick back and reminisce about the good times that wine has brought me recently.
The pure joy of wine is the flavor, the unpredictability, the story behind the label, the intellectual pleasure we derive from comparing one to another. It is the warmth and ease generated by the act of drinking. It's the laughter it generates, the good companionship that springs from sharing it. It's the wonderful interaction with food. These are things we sometimes take for granted.
I was recently a host at an outstanding wine event, and a guest at another, and I'd like to share my appreciation for both. Wine Enthusiast recently held its fourth annual Toast of the Town event at the State Theater promenade at Lincoln Center in New York City. Over 2,000 wine enthusiasts attended, enjoying great wines and truly astounding food. With the jazz ensemble playing, and the promenade full of joyous wine enthusiasts, with chefs plating dishes, winemakers pouring and these pros trading good-natured palaver with the guests, the energy in that room was incredible.
If you wanted a breath of air or just a quiet respite, you could walk out onto the terrace overlooking the famous Lincoln Center fountain. You could sip your wine and watch the attendees for that night's ballet arriving in their finery, or watch the light ebb from rust to blue as the sun set. As the host of this massive party, I couldn't help but take pride in seeing people enjoy themselves so thoroughly, and seeing the extra effort the wine companies had made in bringing out their outstanding wines, and the restaurateurs made in providing such memorable and delicious food. It was like the pages of Wine Enthusiast Magazine come to life. (See this month's issue for more on the event.)
Days later, a similar scene was played out at Auction Napa Valley. As I went from venue to venue at this dazzling event, I was astonished at the opulence wine provides. On the grounds of Trinchero Winery, 1,500 people walked from stand to stand tasting samples from local restaurants, and wines from some of America's best wineries. Everyone was smiling, laughing and really enjoying themselves. By night, local wineries hosted elaborate and tastefully chic hospitality events. The live auction was star-studded.
The expression of pleasure on the guests attending both of these events was the same: sheer ecstasy. It is this sociability, on a smaller scale, that we're trying to express with our "Perfect Wines for Summer Sipping" story in this issue. Summer offers any number of occasions that call for wine, food, friends and family. Our editors offer their suggestions for wines to accompany barbecue, a light meal, a lazy day by the pool or at the beach.
The winemakers of Dry Creek, a winegrowing region in California's Sonoma Valley, are justly renowned for their excellent Zinfandels (the quintessential barbecue wine), and now are producing Rhône varieties that American wine enthusiasts are enjoying in increasing numbers. Steve Heimoff visited the area, and found that the winemakers are excited for the future of their region. This excitement is mirrored in the gentrification of Healdsburg, from a sleepy rural town to one with chic shops, outstanding restaurants, posh accommodations and a wealth of well-run, friendly tasting rooms.
Daryna Tobey, on her most recent trek to Australia, spent time in the Adelaide Hills. This is not a name that springs quickly to mind when thinking about Aussie wines, nevertheless this small region produces fruit that is turning up in bottlings from some of Australia's top producers.
Traditionally, salad has been thought of as difficult to match with wine, but Karen Berman dismantles that myth in this month's Pairings article. From salads dressed with vinaigrette, with its sharp acidity and assertive flavor, to the ever-present Caesar, to tomato-laden salads, Berman finds a wine to complement.
But to worry about a wine to match perfectly with a summer dish—why, that smacks of seriousness and issue-tackling. And I'll have none of it. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Taylor Swift has had more than her fair share of heart-break thanks to a string of ill-fated romances with the likes of Harry Styles, John Mayer and Joe Jonas. They star has now opened up on her chequered dating past, insisting that whilst she's looking for love she's done with bad boys.
The chart-topper has given a candid interview to the new issue of InStyle magazine in the States and she isn't afraid to talk about her infamous romantic past. Despite her tender age of 23, Taylor has dated a long line of familiar faces but she explains that her short-lived relationships are probably down to her dodgy taste in men!
"I think it needs to change," she reveals of what she looks for in a man. "My friends tease me about the fact that if someone seems bad or shady or like they have a secret, I find them incredibly interesting."
Taylor Swift has opened up about her chequered love life (WENN)
She adds, "That's just a phase I've been in lately. I don't think this should be how I proceed in life. It's important to be self-aware about these things because you don't want to end up with that guy."
Taylor has actually been taking a break from boys, since her romance with One Direction's Harry came to a crashing end at the beginning of the year.
"I haven't been [in a relationship] in a long time," Taylor insists, adding that she doesn't think she's experienced true love yet: "I'd like to think if you're with the right person, you just feel great about things you've never felt great about before. At least that's how I've heard it's supposed to be. I wouldn't know."
Harry Styles is just one of Taylor's many conquests (WENN)
Poor Taylor! The star is pretty proud of one of her relationship traits though - the fact that she knows when to walk away:
"Sometimes you know after two dates that you're not the right fit. And sometimes you know you're not the right fit, and you fall for it anyway. One thing I've learned that I'm proud of - drum roll, please - is when to walk away. I've had some short relationships because I know when to do that."
Taylor also uses the interview to address the constant rumours surrounding her and tour partner and best bud Ed Sheeran. Whilst she's quick to deny any romance, the Grammy winner does concede that her friendship with the red-haired Brit has helped her improve her relationships with the opposite sex.
John Mayer also enjoyed a short-lived romance with the singer (WENN)
"Ed and I are such good friends. I have never had such a close guy friend before. It's always kind of creepy because with a guy friend-girl friend situation, it usually feels like one person always wants more. That's not the case here."
She adds that "having guy friends is important" before warning any potential pals: "If you want to be friends with me, just know people are going to say we're dating!"

Byron Scott's Cavaliers have lost five in a row and 10 of the last 12. (Amy Sancetta / Associated Press)
Things are not going well for Michigan State coach Tom Izzo. The Spartans are 6-3 and aren't playing like a Final Four team. But at least he is not the Cleveland Cavaliers' coach.
His decision to stay at MSU looks better every day, even though Izzo is not thrilled with the way his team is playing at the moment. At least his team hasn't been blown out five straight games, like the Cavs — giving up triple-digits in all five.
Cavs coach Byron Scott yelled at his team during halftime of a listless 117-97 loss at Philadelphia on Tuesday night. The Cavs (7-14) have given up 100 or more points in 14 games and are 2-12 in those games.
"I feel they hear me," Scott told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Now the listening part I don't know. I think I was pretty loud and clear at halftime."
It could be Izzo steaming, not Scott. He was courted by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert to take over after Mike Brown was fired. It was not an easy decision for Izzo, trying to figure out if he should stay in East Lansing and coach a potential Final Four team or gamble that LeBron James would stay in Cleveland.
Izzo guessed right. But he probably got the hint that the Green and White was better for him when James refused to return his phone calls.
The Cavs lost all sense of hope when James came in with his new team, the Miami Heat. He dropped 36 points on the Cavs and mostly silenced a hostile crowd that came to boo and heckle James.
James is Public Enemy No. 1 in Cleveland, and since he put the defenseless Cavs in that stranglehold last week, the Cavs have been outscored by an average of 116 points to 94.7 heading into Wednesday night's game against the Bulls.
Scott can't fix this mess, this season, and Izzo couldn't have, either. He chose a greener path, and it turned out to be the correct one, even if it is a little bumpy right now.
Hornet's nest
The NBA Board of Governors is expected to approve a league purchase of the New Orleans Hornets from George Shinn.
The next move could be to Kansas City because the state of Louisiana and New Orleans are not likely to approve tax breaks that NBA commissioner David Stern wants to keep the team in town.
Shinn cannot pay his debts on a loan given to him by the NBA. This is the same owner who moved this franchise out of Charlotte. There were few tears when he left for New Orleans.
Shinn wanted to relocate to Oklahoma City, where his team played for two seasons in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, but Stern would not let him. In the ultimate photo op, Shinn grabbed a microphone during his team's return to New Orleans and screamed: "They told me I was crazy to come back."
The truth is, New Orleans was crazy to welcome him back.
Wait a New York minute
Sometimes, silence is golden. Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony is under the gun again for professing his love for New York and the Knicks. He said, "Who wouldn't want to play here."
This is how Melo tried to clean up the mess, according to the New York Post: "We were at the Garden last season and somebody asked, 'How would you like to play here?' I answered: 'Who wouldn't want to play here?' I knew what people would think when they heard that, but what was I gonna say? 'Who'd wanna play here?' Then I woulda gotten killed for disrespecting the Garden. I couldn't win either way."
Sure you could.
How about no comment?
Executive decision
Add Allan Houston to the list of former Pistons guard that could run a franchise. He recently was named assistant GM of the Knicks after serving as special assistant to the president. President Donnie Walsh has one year left on his contract and is expected to retire soon, opening the door for Houston.
Joe Dumars runs the Pistons and Isiah Thomas ran the Raptors and Knicks.
By the numbers
54.1 — Career-low free-throw percentage this season for Dwight Howard.
50.8 — Team field-goal percentage for the Boston Celtics.
16 — First-half lead changes during a 105-100 Dallas victory over Golden State on Tuesday.
NBA's best
Here are top five NBA players according to a poll conducted by the Sporting News. Polled were current and former players, coaches, general managers and broadcasters.
1. Kobe Bryant, Lakers
2. LeBron James, Heat
3. Dwyane Wade, Heat
4. Kevin Durant, Thunder
5. Dwight Howard, Magic
And not so much
Five members of the Sporting News' top 50 that don't belong:
35. Shaquille O'Neal, Celtics: Shaq is old and tired and can only be effective after long periods of rest.
41. Andrew Bynum, Lakers: Maybe if the guy could stay healthy.
46. Hedu Turkoglu, Suns: He can shoot but is often more diva than player.
47. Antawn Jamison, Cavaliers: He is one of those guys who gets a ton of points when it doesn't matter.
50. Yao Ming, Rockets: Another guy that can't stay healthy.
He said it
"I had to make a life change. I had to leave everything alone that I was doing and the people I was hanging with."
— Knicks forward Shawne Williams in Dime Magazine talking about leaving a life of drugs to get to the NBA

Utah's Viet Pham to compete on 'Iron Chef'
Published March 28, 2013 3:21 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Utah chef Viet Pham, the runner-up on the second season of "Extreme Chef," is once again competing on the Food Network. This time Pham, the co-owner of Forage in Salt Lake City, will be going knife-to-knife with celebrity chef Bobby Flay on "Iron Chef America."
The "Flay vs. Pham" episode airs this Sunday, Jan. 6, at 8 p.m. and will repeat Monday, Jan. 7 and Saturday, Jan. 12. (Check local listings). The competition was filmed last July.
In September, Pham came close to winning the "Extreme Chef" and its $50,000 prize. But he lost in the finals to Terry French. However, Food Network executives were impressed with Pham's culinary skills and on camera ability which helped him get an invitation to Kitchen Stadium.

Regarding the proposal to build an Orthodox high school in Jackson, residents of the town are not stupid. We've seen what can happen if zoning restrictions are relaxed. We've watched Lakewood relax its zoning laws, and allow nonprofit houses of worship and schools in residential neighborhoods. Hundreds of schools have sprouted up, each with its own schedule and busing requirement. Trying to satisfy all the school busing has bankrupted Lakewood.
Jackson has a wonderful school district, and I do not want to see it bankrupted. There is not one good reason to approve the proposed zoning variance. Environmentally, this property will require well water and a septic system. The area is not designed for commercial development and the traffic created will be a nightmare.
The school will not contribute in any positive way to Jackson. To the contrary, because of the courtesy busing law, tax dollars will be spent on busing students to a school that allows only Orthodox girls to attend. How does that serve the community?
I hope zoning board members will ask themselves who could possibly benefit from this school? There is no doubt in my mind that this school proposal is just the tip of the iceberg; if approved, many more schools and church proposals will be on their way.
Residents of Jackson must stand up for their community, let their voices be heard, attend the zoning board meetings and communicate with elected officials. If residents stand back and do nothing, they have no one to blame but themselves.

But each time this mother of seven other kids (Michael was one of the five adopted by Osmond and her second husband) picks herself up.

Marie Osmond's New Puppy Is an 'Unexpected Blessing'
Originally posted 07/26/2012 01:05PM
Marie Osmond is a busy woman, and with eight kids – nine, if you count her dog – it's no wonder.
Osmond, 52, adopted a puppy named George at a charitable fashion show in April, and writes glowingly about the dog in a diary for Prevention Magazine's September issue, on newsstands July 31.
"Our new puppy, George, has become an unexpected blessing," she says. "We were told he's a mix of German shepherd and English bulldog, but he's more a mix of dancing elephant and a cupcake-fueled 4-year-old."

Early look at Plum budget shows deficit
Plum Borough's 2013 preliminary budget has a nearly $1 million deficit.
"It is definitely preliminary," said borough finance director Michael Whitico during a presentation last week to council's finance committee.
Whitico said anticipated expenditures in the spending plan are $11,852,634.
Revenue is projected at $10,886,502 resulting in a $966,132 deficit.
Whitico is projecting a $664 surplus in the 2012 budget that is $10.7 million.
The preliminary budget for 2013 is a 1 percent increase over the current spending plan.
The last borough real-estate tax increase was 1 mill in 2008.
The millage rate is 4.3. A mill generates about $1 million.
"We haven't been taxing our residents to death," said Plum Manager Michael Thomas.
Thomas said the borough has been doing more with less.
Thomas said various budget cuts have been made in recent years, including the elimination of the dispatch center and earned income tax collection.
One employee remains to collect both the delinquent earned income and local service taxes.
Also, the number of borough employees has dropped from 72 in 2004 to 65.5 in 2012.
He also said the number of police officers and public works employees has decreased.
"We have cut everything to the bone," Thomas said. "And we have the lowest taxes of municipalities of our size."
On the flip side, Plum's population has increased by 2 percent in the past 10 years, and the borough has 5 percent more housing units, Thomas said.
Also, the borough is responsible for more road maintenance than it had been 20 years ago.
Thomas said if council decided to eliminate discretionary spending in the 2013 budget that includes a police officer hiring, capital projects, cameras and fencing at borough parks and employee education and training, the savings would translate to about $450,000.
Some of the hits to the preliminary budget include: a decrease in grant revenue from $64,372 in 2012 to a projected $2,800 in 2013; a projected 20 percent increase in fuel costs; and an estimated 7.5 percent increase in costs for health insurance coverage.
Thomas also has budgeted more money in 2013 to cover worker's compensation insurance for the volunteer firefighters in the four departments.
The borough paid $41,950 for the coverage in 2012.
Thomas has budgeted $83,000 for 2013 because of the fallout from a year-old state law that enables volunteer firefighters to collect benefits if they develop cancer after being exposed to carcinogens at fire scenes.
PennPRIME Insurance Trust has dropped worker's compensation coverage resulting in municipalities, including Plum, signing up for coverage through the State Workers' Insurance Fund at a higher cost because of a lack of private-insurer alternatives.
Plum's preliminary budget also calls for nearly doubling from 2012 to 2013 the amount of money transferred from the general fund to the dwindling fire fund that is projected to have a $20,000 balance at the end of the year.
The borough transferred $75,000 to the fund this year and has budgeted a $130,000 transfer next year.
Also, earlier this year, council discussed enacting in 2013 a $1-per-month fee per household for fire hydrant maintenance.
Thomas said the fee would generate about $135,000 a year for the fire fund.
Council has made no decision about a possible fire fee.
Additional meetings about the budget will be scheduled in the next couple of months.
Councilman Michael Dell who chairs the finance committee said he wants to look over more detailed budget numbers before making any decisions about the spending plan.
"This is the first pass (at the budget)," Dell said.
The borough is required to have a balanced budget by Dec. 31.

Japan's Nikkei 1 reports today that national TV network Fuji TV has founded a venture capital fund called Fuji Startup Ventures, or FSV for short. The fund will be worth about 1.5 billion yen (approximately $17 million) to invest in startups developing apps and services that can be integrated with TV programs.
Fuji TV has many subsidiaries including radio stations, mail-order businesses, music companies, and book publishers. They aim to create business synergies between their existing subsidiaries and tech startups they will subsequently invest in.
As Japan's younger generation drifts away from watching TV, private TV broadcasters are now forced to create a new revenue stream in addition to their primary business.
In 2012, we saw Fuji TV embark on some other digital endeavors, including opening new online channels on YouTube, and even cooperating with Rovio for an Angry Birds web game on the Fuji TV website.

"Every month it was just getting worse."
Then she responded to an ad from Debt Cutter, which negotiated a Part IX Debt Agreement with her creditors which will see her paying $220 a fortnight over the next four years.
Dianne says it was a more attractive option than bankruptcy because "this way you keep your self-respect".
"It's still a struggle but it's a known struggle – there's no shock when you open the bill,"
"We have to watch everything we spend… but there's a light. You know it's going to come to an end." creditspiral.com.au

… my health continued to deteriorate. Over the time of lost income I was using my credit cards to survive. It turned out, I couldn't return to work and I was left with debts that I was unable to make the payments on, and have enough to live off as well.
I called Debt Cutter. Their friendly staff listened to my situation, treated me as a real person, and gave me advice that was right for me.
Terri A
To all at Debt Cutter, we can't thank you enough for the time and effort you put into getting us into our debt agreement. It was not any easy step for us to take to finally put up our hands and state that we were having trouble with our finances.
We got ourselves into some trouble with credit and found ourselves looking down a long tunnel with no light at the end of it, to add to the strain the company my husband was working for went into liquidation which in turn put us further behind. We were struggling to pay the bills and give our children what they needed. The people at Debt Cutter showed us the light at the end of the tunnel.
Cathy and Peter
Cathy and husband Peter were a working couple in their 50s when things turned bad two years ago.
The couple had an excellent credit rating and took up the offer of a couple of pre-approved credit cards to tide them over while Peter found work.
"You tell yourself you won't use it until you really need to. It's a very gradual thing – it creeps up on you," Cathy said.
Cathy says they felt frightened, isolated – and very embarrassed. It was not something they wanted to talk to family and friends about.
"I was almost suicidal and very sick. I was completely unable to think. All I wanted was for the phone calls and bills to stop."
Cathy and Peter have also entered a (Debt Cutters) Part IX Debt Agreement. creditspiral.com.au

Gateway rolls NV budget designer notebooks
updated 08:30 am EDT, Thu June 25, 2009
Gateway NV Notebooks
Gateway has quickly followed up on its desktop news with the addition of a relatively high-style but more frugal notebook line intended for the back-to-school audience. The NV series has a minimalist, glossy design with a relatively sturdy barrel hinge and touch-sensitive shortcut keys. At the same time, the notebooks keep costs down with a 15.6-inch, 1366x768 (but LED-backlit) display and lower-end AMD or Intel mobile chips.
Two of the shortcut buttons alternately automate backups to external hard drives and invoke a power-saving default setting.
The starter model ships near netbook pricing at $500 with a 2.1GHz Athlon 64 X2, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive and an integrated-level Radeon HD 3200 for graphics; it comes only in brown. Adding an extra $100 switches to a faster 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo without changing other features, albeit at the expense of slower GMA 4500 video. It also changes to a more colorful blue.
Gateway hasn't said when the NV models start shipping but has teased that higher-end models are coming, including versions with Blu-ray drives, 500GB of storage and lids in black or red.

The way I see it you have 3 options and becoming an aeonautical radio officer isn't one so if you want to count that its 4, but thats not ATC.
You can go by self-sponsorship. Go to ASTAC in England get the training and come back here, do the test and get your license and wait for a vacancy to come up in a regional or something.
Get sponsored. If an airport wants atco's they may pay for your training. They'll send you somewhere like ASTAC in England and you come back, get your license and work for them. Same as previous only your being funded and you have a job to come back to.
Thirdly you can go via the IAA. This is the most mainstream and common but the others do pop up often enough, generally there is in and around 3 to 4 atco positions that become available on an average year.

Oklahoma outpaced Connecticut en route to a 48-20 Fiesta Bowl victory.
Offense: Landry Jones set an Oklahoma bowl passing record with 433 yards through the air, and he was able to find wideouts Ryan Broyles and Cameron Kenney (both of whom had over 150 receiving yards) without much trouble. Broyles' touchdown catch was the type of play that exemplified his All-American season: an absolutely brilliant display of athleticism. DeMarco Murray wasn't a gamebreaker, but his 25 carries for 93 yards kept the chains moving -- he accounted for eight of Oklahoma's 27 first downs. Jones did throw a pick-six and Broyles coughed up a fumble at the end of an otherwise brilliant punt return, but those were relatively minor concerns. Grade: B+
Defense: Giving up 20 points is sort of a bummer, right? Thing of it is, though, UConn scored one touchdown on the aforementioned pick-six, and the other came on a kickoff return. Also, Jamell Fleming and Tony Jefferson each took an interception to the house in the second half, pushing the game out of reach for UConn. So essentially, the Oklahoma defense outscored the Huskies' offense 14-6. That's a win. Grade: A
Coaching: Well, Bob Stoops finally got that BCS bowl losing streak off his back. Shame that it had to come against such a comically overmatched opponent, but that's probably of limited concern to Stoops and the Sooners. It's hard to fault Stoops for any play calls or in-game decisions, except for that fake field goal early in the fourth quarter. Everyone in the world knows Stoops doesn't have a great deal of confidence in kicker Jimmy Stevens, who doesn't have a field goal of longer than 41 yards this year, so when OU lined up for a field goal on 4th and 7 at the UConn 30, nobody really expected a kick to go up. Further, Jones passed for 8.8 yards per attempt on the day; let the kid make another play! Grade: B-
Offense: It's painfully obvious that UConn quarterback Zach Frazer doesn't have much in the way of help at receiver. The senior QB had rather pedestrian numbers again tonight (19-39, 223 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs), but several of Frazer's throws were dropped, tipped, or aimed somewhere other than where the receivers ended up going. Even on Frazer's two pick-sixes, both passes hit his receivers in the hands before being deflected up and into a Sooner's hands. It was sort of painful to watch. Jordan Todman did rush for 121 yards after a slow start, however, and Anthony Sherman and Ryan Griffin were decent targets between the 20s. Grade: D+
Defense: The Huskies' main highlight on defense was the "look what I found" interception score by Dwayne Gratz in the second quarter that first got UConn on the board, but that was pretty much it. Landry Jones found open receivers nearly every time he dropped back to pass, and Oklahoma was only forced into four punts in 14 possessions on the day. Grade: D
Coaching: Randy Edsall 's first foray into the BCS bowl world didn't go well, but that was pretty much a given considering the matchup. Connecticut's execution was sufficiently bad that it's hard to pin much on Edsall's playcalling, and the Huskies at least made Oklahoma work for its victory; this was still a 14-point game with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. It's hard to say whether Edsall will ever make it back to a BCS game -- his odds are probably better at a stronger school than UConn -- but he didn't look bad today. Grade: B
Final Grade
Look, nobody outside of Storrs, CT and whatever lair BCS president Bill Hancock resides in wanted this game to happen. The final score was pretty predictable, even though UConn stuck around for a little longer than most people would have expected. It would have been great to see this high-powered Oklahoma offense face a real defense, like that of Stanford or TCU or Boise State . But the rules are what they are, and this is what we get because of them: an afterthought of a Fiesta Bowl. Connecticut didn't belong in a BCS game, everybody knew it, and they proved why today. Can we really not get an "automatic unless you're a four-loss team" clause in the BCS language? Really? This game's very existence was unacceptable. Grade: F

Texas Tech's Jace Amaro, Le'Raven Clark and Will Smith win AP All-Big 12 honors
Texas Tech tight end Jace Amaro, offensive tackle Le'Raven Clark and linebacker Will Smith made the postseason AP All-Big 12 list Monday.
Amaro received two of 20 votes for the league's Most Valuable Player while Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty received the other 18 to win the title.
The Red Raiders' tight end caught 98 passes in the regular season for a team-best 1,240 yards and led all Division I FBS tight ends in both receptions and yards.
Clark protected the quarterbacks' blind side and was part of an offensive line that helped Texas Tech out to more than 6,100 total yards.
Smith leads the team in tackles 106 and has a team-best five sacks in addition to a scoop-and-score touchdown.
Receiver Eric Wardand defensive lineman Kerry Hyder were placed on the Second Team All-Big 12 list.
Ward is 96 yards shy from crossing the 1,000-yard threshold and still has the National University Holiday Bowl to get there. He broke 1,000 yards in last year's bowl game.
Hyder recorded 60 tackles and 11.5 of those tackles were for losses.
Repeat unlikely for Johnny Manziel, but Texas A&M QB will make return trip for Heisman Trophy ceremony

Very pretty
Reviewed: 30 April 2015 by happilymarried2010, a Straight Married Male
My wife looked absolutely gorgeous in this, and it does not look cheap like some others.
And it really got us in the mood. Easy access, what more can you ask for.
And it shows the breasts off nicely, there is nothing left to the imagination.
Once again, what a great little addition to our sex lives. Thanks, Lovehoney.
- Pros
- Very pretty to look at.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- 10 out of 10.

Wow - just wow
Reviewed: 15 April 2015 by BarginHunta, a Straight Married Male
First impressions of the set itself - the material is very nice and soft, none of the 'scratchy' mesh or trim that you can get on some sets.
The bra is trimmed very nicely, both around the cups and also either side of the splits, and the little red bows really set off the look of the black set we purchased.
Similarly, the panties, too, are soft to the touch, and nicely trimmed, so no rough edges near your nether regions!
We were a little apprehensive ordering this as you can never be quite sure how a "one size" will fit, but my OH is a 34B 12/14 and this set fits almost as if it were sized for her. Obviously, we don't know how well it would fit other sizes, but either we got incredibly lucky, or in this case the "one size" really is a good fit.
There is certainly no denying the attractiveness of this set when worn. It has the splits in all the right places, and there is quite a bit of adjustment available when you put it on as to how covered, or revealing, you initially want to be.
Her opinion; very comfortable and gives a great confidence boost of not being completely nude, but still being accessible!
His opinion; it looks amazing on her, on this is a prime example where sexy lingerie can enhance rather than detract from the look. A winner from me!
- Pros
- Soft luxurious material, perfect splits.
- Cons
- Nothing - we love this set!
- Bottom line
- A great set, if you have got this far, stop reading and buy it!

Ordered these in red, looked small when I opened the packet.
The thong fit great, very comfortable not tight at all (I'm a size 12 hips).
The bra was a little small for me (36e boobs) but my OH didn't seem to mind that.
Well made and not scratchy material, was comfortable to wear for a while.

- Sexy and skimpy.

- Bra a little small.

In addition, the 2012 Windy City Gay Idol Finals featured Josh "JDA" Davilla who landed in the Top 40 on Fox's American Idol 2013. Plus the 2008 Windy City Gay Idol Finals featured a then-unknown Lady Gaga as a guest performer. Audience members never know what they will see and hear. Come sing, or simply come vote while enjoying the show.

The 2013 Windy City Gay Idol Premium sponsor is Smirnoff. Other Sponsors include Ketel One, Tanqueray, Don Julio, Creaoke, Broadway in Chicago, American Airlines, and SpeedPro Printing.
With more than $5,000 in cash and prizes, all contestants will face local celebrity judges that include singers, DJs, actors, talent and casting agents, and others familiar with the performance arena.
Each winner collecting the most votes at each preliminary bar will win $100 cash. Two winners from each bar will advance to the semi-finals. Audience members at each bar also have the chance to win great prizes, such as Smirnoff merchandise, concert and theater tickets, new DVD & CD releases, and much more.
The finals feature big prizes for audience members as well as the top three contestants, including weekend stays at downtown hotels, vacation trips and tickets to top Chicago theaters and concert venues.
The finals winner crowned at Mayne Stage is awarded $1,000 in cash, a premium prize, Smirnoff gifts, theater and concert tickets, plus the coveted title of Windy City Gay Idol 2013.

Rodney Richardson sits in front of a collection of branding his company, RARE Design Studio, created for the New Orleans Pelicans from their location at the Bakery Building in downtown Hattiesburg.
- Filed Under
Mississippi may not have its own major league professional sports team, but one Hattiesburg resident can at least say he had a major part in developing one.
Rodney Richardson, founder and principal of RARE Design in downtown Hattiesburg, recently designed a new logo for the NBA's New Orleans Hornets, who will soon become the New Orleans Pelicans.
Richardson, who started RARE in January 1999, is certainly no stranger to working with major corporations - over the years, he's handled brand development and advertising for industry giants like Nike, Adidas and Home Depot, as well as other NBA ...

Dr. Olugbenga Olowokure holds the hand of patient Lora Doane of Price Hill as she asks him if it's possible to reduce chemotherapy, since the side effects have been taking a toll on her.

When he sits at his desk, looks at the scans and reads the reports, then turns to his patient and gives the diagnosis, the news usually isn't bad, it's awful.
There may be no disease that feels like a death sentence more than pancreatic cancer. The National Cancer Institute says that 94 patients out of 100 will die within five years. Most won't make it half that long.
Dr. Olugbenga Olowokure still remembers the first time he had to tell a patient he had the disease, and that there was no reason for hope. Olowokure asked the patient how much he knew about his illness. The man's previous doctors had been ...

He had her strapped to the old hospital bed in the corner of the crapy run down basement. Her blonde hair was curlings ever so slightly from the humidy in the air. He payed no attention to her as he went about setting up the dinner table. A newly sharped knife, a spoon, a fork, a glass of nice cold milk, a plate. A napkin was folded across the plate. He light the long white candles slowly, humming to himself as he did this. He was smiling a sinful, wicked smile.
His hair was patchy black and scruffy all over his head and he was built like a scare crow. His nose was long and pointed like a witches at the end. His hands were large, his fingers dirty and black, his feet in tough old brown boots that have seen better days. He was so frail and thin that his pants didn't sit correctly on his waist and his shirt was way to big. Oh well, nobody saw him here anyway. The basement was his sacuary, where he hid to get away from the world and it's fast moving cars and people and food.
The girl, however, was wearing a soft blue dress with a belt of white daisies. Her dress-shoes were black, her socks were knee highs and white. She had no make-up on, or a cellphone. She didn't have anything but a jump-rope. The man wipped the large spoon. He'd give her back after he was done with her. She was no more than eight years old. She was small but she had the biggest bluest eyes. they were beautful and looked tastey.
He crept to the girl and smiled that sickly sinful wicked smile, his crooked yellow teeth rooting. He said nothing, just stared at her. She was beautiful, was she not? Healthy and blonde. If she were older, maybe sixteen, he'd want something different from her, but he wanted her eyes.
Slowly, the girl awoke and took stock as to what was around her. When she saw the man and realized that she was strapped to a bed, she screamed. It was a terrifying that would have rattled windows, if there would have been any. She thrashed herself and cried, screaming out some more. "I want my mommy! Where is my mommy! Where am I?" She arched, trying to breaking the bonds that held her. Her wrists and ankles started to bleed, but the adrenaline was pumping hard and fast through her veins. She felt no pain, heard nothing but the blood wirling, wirling, ever wirling through her head, and her own terrified screams. "Lemme go! Lemme go! I never did nothing to you, mister! Lemme go!" She hollared. The man just stood there and watched the girl, his mouth watering.
"No, no, I can't do that, little one. I must keep you here, because you see, you've seen my face and you little children have such good memories. It's a shame really. I'd love to have a memory like a young child. But that is not why I'm doing this."
"Do...doing what?" The child asked, her body shaking as the adrenaline slowed.
The man smiled, evil darkening his face. He brought the spoon closer to his face and he chuckled. He dipped the spoon to her eye socket. "Why, I'm taking your eyes, darling. It won't hurt but a bit." The girl let lose. The scream a shrill in an instant. The man did not faulter as he pushed the spoon in her eye socket and popped the eye out. It wiggled and look around. When the girl opened her one good eye, she became pale but did not cease her screaming. She watched as this man, crazed as all get out, went to the table, set the eye down, cut into it with a knife, blood and water going every where. The man bit into the eye and hummed with absolute pleasure. "Very, very nice. Best I've ever tasted. I've eaten hundreds of these." he said, as he ate the second half. Then he came back for the other one.
Later, the man tossed the girl outside an emergancy room.

Tyler, I listened to a radio interview you did on NPR yesterday, and was inspired by your story. Since then, I watched one of your television shows for the first time, and was inspired by that as well. The episode featured a young man working at a suicide prevention hotline and he spoke to a fellow student who was thinking of committing suicide. I went to your website and found this inspiration section, and I think it is wonderful! Thank you for this. I'm a 42 year old husband and father of two boys, and I am a big dreamer. I feel like I need to be doing something bigger or different than what I am currently doing, but am not sure what that is. I need to take your advice and water one seed and focus on that, but first I need to find something that I believe in strongly. Thanks for providing some hope, direction, and inspiration to me!Reply
Ronald Smalls Phila #1756983
Hello Mr Perry my name is Ronald Smalls, my story is this I came home from work on May 24,2012 to find that my wife had murdered my seventeen month old twins. ( she attempted to poison my now five year old daughter) I cannot begin to explain the situations depth. I oddly enough was not a fan of your work because I had no idea what you wrote ( watched the house of pain WOW!) I was impressed you have shown us in all positions from a barbershop owner to a fire Capt. I in this moment attempt to draw strength from whatever I can. I have watched both you and Oprah and although i dont always agree with your choices. My daughter deserves so much better than she is getting. I attended Penns upward bound program ( a program for veterans) i have been snubbed by the district attorney, the police commissioner, my local council person, and all of city council. rememeber my name because i may someday in the not so distant future send you a script or a pitch for a movies.Reply

Hi Tyler! I'm emailing to say to you that your"Inspirational Corner" is GREAT!! I've been going thru SO VERY MUCH lately and it seems like its all coming at me all at one time{I can't seem to be able to catch a break}!So I went to your "I.C" and listen to what you said about the "closing doors" and it actually helped me to see the light and it gave me a little more hope and helped me to believe in myself more plus have MORE FAITH in God.Just like you in your past,yes ALOT of doors has been closed/slammed in my face too and the hungriness and homeless-yes that also and even now,I can barely keep my "head above waters" {if you know what that means}but I DO KNOW GOD PERSONALLY and I will continue to pray,wait on him,and know he'll see me thru it all no matter how hard it gets or how many doors are closed/slammed in my face.Thanks for the words of encourgement!I really needed it.Reply
Rachel Guyana
Hey Tyler, I am listening to your videos and I am feeling you, you are truly an inspiration. But in my opinion God didn't close those doors for you, your mind did, because your MIND got accustom to being rejected by people, so it was always EXPECTING to be rejected. Then one day your mind expected something GOOD, it expected a change and there the change was in front of you, because like you said God has already given us everything that we want, we only need to activate it, so you were always this famous talented person (smile), you just had to use your mind to create it. But ofcourse God was guiding the way. Wherever attention goes, power flows, if people can only believe in themselves, and know how powerful their minds are, then how happy everyone would be. They'd stop using their behind and start using their mind. One Love.Reply
sherrie Long Beach, Ca #1760654
Rachel...God is too wonderful to even fathom trying to take the Glory away from Him. Thats the diffrence in being a person of faith. Most people want to lean on their own understanding, and not on Gods word. It is then that they fail. Tyler is right, it was a God thing, I say this because the same thing has happpened to me....God told me to wait, Im still waiting. Its not the right time for me.Reply

Mr Tp Hello and I remember the old board with all the great messages. It is not like i wish to return to that time. Please pray that I will complete my testing and find appropriate work. I have received and email but it does not display properly. So I think God is leading me or at least I hope so. I have habit of tunrning around. I went to Dallas and when I saw all those people and all that misery and confusion: I said I was mistaken I thought things were in order. God gave me what I asked for and I am so grateful. I had a lot of friends do move there and they are going to make great money as social workers and counselors. I like the country part but the city is not safe. I think any place unsafe for cows and dogs is unsafe. Prayer can change things but reality is reality. Now, I must finish all these things and concentrate while working, praying and testing. I have tried to minimize my distractions but it is very difficult at times. Please pray for me. God bless you, and thank you for this inspirational place of Alex Cross.Reply

That was a great message. This might sound crazy, but I have no idea why I logged on to your site! I took a long walk during lunch, talking to God in my head asking for answers to why I have so much turmoil in my life. When I close my eyes- I see things that are destined for me, but when I am awake- confusion covers me. So many things I want to do,but I feel like people and situations are pulling me away from my purpose, I feel lost at times. Every where I turn there is chaos, deceit and lies, but I keep hearing a voice in my head saying "I am going to bless you" be still and know that I am God. Your message has really encouraged me and it also gave me confirmation that the rejection, self doubt and disappointment is not in vain. God will bless at my appointed time. Thank you so much -Demeara * I will visit your site mor oftenReply

TP, here's what I meant when I spoke of u as a younger version of my father -A very serious man! Yes, indeed, he was a serious man, no joke. With much wisdom. Yes, he was old school. One month after I was born my father turned 49yrs old. Lol.. :-) LOL... He was so kind though, & gentle yet he was so strong, tough, dedicated, he had the greatest smile. That man didn't play though! He said what he meant & meant what he said. Just his presence intimidated me. Yes, I was afraid of my father. He never hurt any of us but he didn't play either. Lol... He meant business. One thing about having him was he watched & protected him household/home. So, when I mention u to be like a younger version of my father, it actually should say a new generation of my father. :-) My oldest son has always reminded my mother of my father being he is quiet, respectful, kinda gentle etc... Even though I know my son has other ways of being cause he really is playful & loves to joke around with ppl. My mother don't know that side of him. She just see him as she see him. Lol... Now as for D'Andre, that's a different story! Lol.... Lol.... Lol.... That's my child! :-) The devil couldn't have me & the devil can't have him. Better said this way, the devil can't have me or my sons. It's just that simple. Victory! ;-) We'll talk later. :-)Reply

So you don't like the FAME & you like having your privacy?! Well, change the game then Tyler! Don't worry about it, do you, be you. We love u with whatever you have on, if your hair is cut or not! Don't nobody got time to be thinking about this CRAP! I love u Tyler cause u are serious. You do what u do but u don't do it like anyone else. :-) Change up the game Tyler! You are the man to do it! :-) !!!!!!!!! Here's what you & I have in common :-) -I'm a private person, I so enjoy my time along, & quiet times & I'm not the one who cares for fame or should I say, what comes along with fame. Cause they just might see Madea for real for real if they push me. :-) Lol... God knows too! Yes, He knows! Lol.... This is one reason why I ignore certain things & people. Lol.... But u on the other hand has been so much different, open yet private. So open, helpful, caring, sharing, giving, honest, graceful, but private at the same time. I really don't have to wait until Oct.19 cause my heart is & has been beating for some time now. If u would allow me this moment to be open with u, I can tell u that people don't impress me. But you somehow do! You came along & there u were Tyler Perry! I believe there is a special place in my heart for you. I don't totally understand it. Please forgive me if I have bothered u in anyway there was no harm even intended. Thanks for understanding. :-) Gotta go Ttyl.Reply
