The production, which cost $9.6 million, had initially raised $11 million from investors. The revival ran for 46 weeks; Bloomberg.com states that a 63-week run would have been necessary for recoupment.
When it closed, Evita — the first new Broadway production of the seven-time Tony Award-winning musical since it debuted at the Broadway Theatre over 30 years ago — played 26 previews and 337 regular performances.
The cast was headed by Grammy winner Ricky Martin (Che), Olivier Award winner Elena Roger (Eva Perón) and Tony Award winner Michael Cerveris (Juan Perón). Christina DeCicco played Eva at select performances.
Directed by Tony and Olivier Award winner Michael Grandage and choreographed by Tony Award winner Rob Ashford, Evita began previews March 12, 2012, and opened on April 5 at The Marquis Theatre.
A national tour of the musical is expected to launch in September at Providence Performing Arts Center. No casting has been announced.
The creative team also included Tony Award-winning scenic and costume designer Christopher Oram (Red), Tony Award-winning lighting designer Neil Austin (Red), Olivier Award-winning sound designer Mick Potter (Woman In White), wig and hair designer Richard Mawbey (Frost/Nixon), projection designer Zachary Borovay (Rock of Ages) and music supervisor/director Kristen Blodgette (Mary Poppins).

Orchestrations were by Andrew Lloyd Webber and David Cullen (Sunset Boulevard), and dance arrangements were by David Chase (Billy Elliot).
"Eva Perón used her beauty and charisma to rise meteorically from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady," according to production notes. "She won international acclaim and adoration from her own people as a champion of the poor, while glamour, power and greed made her the world's first major political celebrity."
The revival featured songs from the original staging, such as "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," "Buenos Aires," "Rainbow High" and "High Flying Adored," as well as "You Must Love Me," which was penned for the 1996 film adaptation.
Evita has music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. Harold Prince staged the original London and New York productions. Elaine Paige earned an Olivier Award for creating the role in London. Patti LuPone, who starred in the 1979 Broadway staging, earned a Tony Award for her work alongside Tony winner Mandy Patinkin as Che. Evita also earned the 1980 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, Best Book and Best Direction.
The revival received Tony nominations for Best Revival of a Musical, Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Michael Cerveris) and Best Choreographer (Rob Ashford).
Hal Luftig and Scott Sanders produced the revival.

"UFO" is one of those phrases that carries undeserved negative connotations. "UFO" does not mean "flying saucer"; it does not mean "extraterrestrial"; it does not mean abduction, invasion, hallucination, disease, pestilence or rains of frogs. It is a self-defining acronym and a pretty straightforward one.
Several dozen people in the past week in the small town of Stephenville, Texas, have reported seeing a UFO - an object in the sky that they cannot immediately label an aircraft, a satellite, a shooting star, a bat, the Dukes' General Lee or the moon.
Among the witnesses have been a pilot, a county constable and several business owners.
One of the witnesses, Steve Allen, a freight-company owner and pilot, said he saw an object a mile long and a half-mile wide. "It was positively, absolutely nothing from these parts."
Machinist Mickey Sorrells said he saw a flat, metallic object in the sky. He watched it through his rifle's telescopic lens. Despite being teased by friends, he came forward with his story when other stories appeared in a local newspaper.
Federal officials insist there's a logical explanation. Funny thing, that's what they always say, and it's not always the case. Optical illusions, atmospheric anomalies and just plain hoaxes are all involved in the history of UFO sightings and explanations, but when dealing with an unknown and unrepeatable phenomenon, it's hard to provide an explanation that isn't going to leave lingering questions.
Sometimes, weird stuff happens. We're not discounting the view of an Air Force official, who put the sighting down to the confluence of two commercial aircraft resulting in the illusion of a larger form. Nor are we discounting Sorrells' statement, after his telescopic view of the whats-its, that he could see no bolts or welds in its framework.
Erath County Constable Lee Roy Gaitan is another witness. He's hedging his bets.
"I didn't see a flying saucer, and I don't know what it was, but it wasn't an airplane, and I've never seen anything like it," Gaitan said. Well, clear as mud, that. "I think it must be some kind of military craft - at least I hope it was."
UFO sightings aren't uncommon. A poll last year found 14 percent of Americans have seen such a thing. Meaning they saw something not immediately recognizable and not trundling along the ground - nothing more. The Mutual UFO Network, an organization that investigates sightings across the country, is sending folks to Texas to look into the Stephenville sightings. The military used to do that sort of thing, but it doesn't anymore (that's its position, and it's sticking to it).
Investigation of a subjectively observed phenomenon is a devilishly tricky proposition. Humans aren't the most reliable observers, and absent film, video or other dispassionate recording means, it's hard to get a handle on what's happening. There's a reward that's been put up for anyone who has photo or video evidence of the Texas sighting.
There was something in the skies over Stephenville, Texas. Enough folks saw it to lead to a reasonable conclusion that there was something there, though determination of its origin, purpose and meaning aren't likely to come without a repeat performance.
I've always said that if the folks driving the UFOs really wanted to put an end to all debate (and the debate is epic), they'd set down on the 50-yard-line at halftime of the Super Bowl. It'd be at least as entertaining as most of the mid-game entertainment the bowls put on, and it would effectively end all doubt.
"'Klaatu barada nikto,' and now back to our broadcasters in the booth for the second-half kickoff."

Energy Drink Converts to PET Bottle for Impact, Savings
by David Vaczek
In adopting distinctive new packaging for its Redline energy drink, Vital Pharmaceuticals Inc. (VPX; Davie, FL) realized major savings in reduced inventories and in material and freight costs.
The manufacturer of VPX sports supplements converted from aluminum to PET bottles for its multi-SKU assortment of sports drinks, creating first-of-its-kind packaging in the energy drink category, says Jack Owoc, CEO and chief scientific officer.
VPX replaced printed aluminum bottles with PET containers that are shrink-wrapped with preprinted metallic-style labels at VPX's production facility.
"The shrink-wrap label is vibrant and is as metallic looking as the aluminum. Plastic also resists denting in our high-speed production of the Redline products," says Owoc.
VPX requested that the PET package duplicate the design, dimensions, and look of the aluminum bottle originally created by VPX, says Craig Crowe, district manager, Berlin Packaging (Chicago).
"We wanted to make this a heavier-weight container so it [would be] indistinguishable from the aluminum container to the consumer. The container has a lot of strength to it, and enough side-wall integrity, so it won't panel. We had to build custom preforms and blow cavity molds for the blow molding," Crowe says.
VPX was able to slash bottle inventories, because it no longer has to stock multiple SKUs of prefinished bottles. The company was forecasting needs based on 20-plus-week lead times for large production runs required by its aluminum container manufacturer. Berlin ships the blank bottles direct with half-day lead times to ensure inventory on hand.
Owoc says that orders for Redline drinks in the new container have expanded "into millions of bottles" since the package launch last year, as consumers have embraced the new packaging.
Price increases for aluminum prompted VPX to embark on the new packaging style.
"By changing the Redline packaging, we have saved millions of dollars. We will be releasing several more Redline products in PET containers in the first quarter of 2007, including Redline Extreme!, which has not even been produced, yet we have huge commitments from vendors awaiting its release," says Owoc.

Kern River Parkway & Bakersfield's Bicycle Trails
- Kern River Parkway Trail Map [Printable]
The Kern River Parkway is a native riparian area which extends over 30 miles through Bakersfield along the Kern River. It extends east to west from the mouth of the Kern Canyon to Enos Lane and is comprised of over 6,000 acres of trails, parks, and waterways. One of the most used areas is the Kern River Parkway Trail, a paved road used for commuting and exercising by walkers, joggers, rollerbladers, and cyclists. Also, no motorized vehicles are allowed within the Kern River Parkway - lakes, trails, and off-road.
Within the Kern River Parkway, there are many active and non-active recreational opportunities available for individuals, families, and groups living or visiting Bakersfield. Explore the parkway and participate in some of these activities: walk, cycle, jog, hike, rollerblade, horseback ride (north side of the river only), canoe, kayak, fish, photograph, sightsee, and attend community events such as movies, concerts, and festivals.
The Kern River Parkway is a place where nature can reclaim the wetlands, wildlife can flourish, and people can experience the beauty of the Kern River.

Rihanna likes to have a good time. And that's exactly what she did last night when she hit a few L.A. hot spots with friends.
So who was the pop star with, where exactly was she partying, and was her recent collaborator and former boyfriend Chris Brown anywhere in sight?
Ri-Ri stepped out for a girls' night with two female friends (so, no, Brown was not part of the party). The group first hit Beverly Hills eatery Scarpetta at the Montage around 9:30 p.m. for a low-key dinner.
Dressed in a see-through top black jumpsuit and grey jacket, the Barbadian star and her pals sipped on white wine and shared appetizers before chowing down on their main courses (Ri chose the chef's signature spaghetti). The gal group chatted, laughed and even danced in their seats at one point in the night to the room's high-energy music.
They left the restaurant after 11 p.m. and headed to Hollywood hot spot Colony for some livelier fun, and partied at the club until almost 3 a.m. After calling it a night, the "Umbrella" songstress took a few photos with fans before hopping into her black SUV and hitting the road.
And that's not all. In other celebrity sightings news...
Khloé Kardashian Odom hit Dallas' Station 4 nightclub, where she sipped TY KU sake drinks while watching a drag show.
Sharon Stone grabbed a bite to eat with three gal-pals at Fig & Olive in West Hollywood.
Jenna Fischer, Chris Colfer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and more celebrated the Tribeca Film Festival at the 2012 American Express cocktail party at the Beverly Hilton hotel.
Colin Farrell took a spinning class at West Hollywood's SoulCycle.
Cute couple Diane Lane and Josh Brolin stopped by L.A.'s Napa Valley Grille Westwood for a meal with her daughter, Eleanor.
Country star Toby Keith enjoyed a date night with his wife and two friends at Casa Vega restaurant in L.A.

Fire crews tackle huge blaze at Cumbrian nature reserve
Last updated at 17:07, Wednesday, 10 April 2013
More than 40 firefighters spent over three hours last night tackling a blaze that ripped through a Cumbrian nature reserve.
- VIDEO: Siddick Ponds fire
And crews were called back out to Siddick Ponds in Workington just before 7am today to deal with another grass fire there.
Engines from Workington and Keswick were alerted to this morning's fire and while there found a second blaze involving smouldering and burning tree roots.
Fears have been raised that up to one-third of the nature reserve may have been lost in last night's fire.
The blaze, near to the Asda superstore, close to Northside, spread along the reed beds and gorse and up the hill towards Seaton. It is estimated about eight hectares (almost 20 acres) were affected.
Reports of the fire - believed to have been started by arsonists - were received just before 7pm and firefighters spent three-and-a-half hours getting the blaze under control.
Flames up to eight feet high could be seen about a mile away, in Workington town centre.
At times, said Adrian Holme, station manager at Cockermouth, Keswick, Wigton and Workington fire stations, they had to let it burn because it was too dangerous to tackle.
Firefighters had to pump water from the ponds nearest to the superstore's car park up to fire engines further up the cycle track as the blaze spread.
There were two fire engines in the Asda car park, near to Edgars car garage and a policeman stopping people from getting near the blaze.
Eight appliances from across west Cumbria were called to scene. The last crew left at about 10.40pm.
One onlooker said it was the worst thing he had ever seen.
Hundreds of people turned up to watch the fire, with staff from the nearby Dunmail Park shopping centre watching from the roof and from the top of nearby gravel heaps.
In addition to the ponds blaze, fire crews last night dealt with
- a grass fire in Salterbeck - 5m of bushes at the rear of Garth Infant School, Coronation Drive - at 5.50pm
- a 15m grass and gorse fire on the railway embankment in Maryport at 6.09pm
- a 50 sq m grass fire at New Mill, Gosforth, at 6.13pm. It is believed this was caused by a discarded cigarette.
- a 5 sq m grass fire at the back of Wastwater Avenue, Workington, at 10.33pm
Mr Holme reiterated his earlier appeal for people to stop setting fires.
After more than 20 nuisance fires in the west of the county last week there were around 30 more incidents across Allerdale and Copeland over the weekend.
Siddick Ponds is a site of special scientific interest and home to more than 158 recorded species of wildfowl, including the booming bittern. The popular reserve is also home to otters, rare spiders, weasels and butterflies.
More photos on the News & Star Facebook page
APRIL 10 UPDATE, 4.30pm: Cumbria police say they are working with the fire service to try and establish the circumstances that led to the blaze.
"Officers have carried out enquiries in the local community and are currently following a number of lines of enquiry to establish whether the fire was lit deliberately.
"Police will continue to work with colleagues in the Fire and Rescue Service while they investigate and police patrols will be stepped up across the area to gather information from the community and try and prevent any similar incidents from occurring," they say.

Have your say
why doesn't the council put up a reward for for info on the person(s) who set fire to the pond etc?
Yesterday someone set fire to the underside of the new bridge causing smoke damage to both the sandstone and underside next to the reds ground. Its difficult to find words to truly comment on this latest example if wanton vandalism....

One final good shot was all either team was looking for as the Zeeland East and Byron Center girls' basketball teams were tied in the final minute of play.
Byron Center got that shot.
Sophomore Maria Spetoskey was left alone at the top of the key just long enough to launch and make the 3-pointer that broke the tie with 50 seconds remaining and helped lift the Bulldogs to a 29-24 win over the Chix in a Class A district opener at Zeeland East.
Brooke Sharkey added a pair of free throws with seven seconds to play to seal the deal, but it was Spetoskey's shot, her only basket of the game, that sent Zeeland East reeling.
"It was a tie game with a minute to go, then they hit that 3," Zeeland East coach Bria DeBoer lamented as the Chix's season ended at 11-10. "That (shot) just killed us at the end."
Zeeland helped contribute to its demise by hitting 6-of-33 field goals, including just two baskets and nine points in the second half.
"It wasn't a high-scoring game either way," DeBoer said. "I mean, we held them to 29 points (on 9-of-28 shooting). It's not like they scored a bunch and we couldn't stop them, we just couldn't put the ball in the basket."
The Chix did rally from an 18-15 halftime deficit for a 21-18 lead early in the third quarter only to fall back behind 22-21 at the end of the third quarter.
Early in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs moved ahead by three points before Zeeland East rallied again.
The Chix forced a couple of Byron Center turnovers in the late going, but then gave the ball right back. Their only points in the fourth quarter came on free throws as Kelly Raterink (six points) knocked down a pair from the line with 3 minutes, 55 seconds to play, then Casie Curtiss (six points) tied the score when she hit 1-of-2 free throws with 3:29 remaining.
Britta Ebels worked her way free in the paint for the potential go-ahead basket with just under two minutes to play, but her shot rolled off the rim.
Then Spetoskey got loose for a second and fired up the game-winner.
Aubrey Ende led Zeeland East with seven points in the final game of the high-school career for her and six other seniors: Tarryn South, Olivia Cooke, Heather Smallegan, Britta Ebels, Kate Ebels and Raterink.
"Being a senior and knowing that was my last basketball game, I mean, those are all my friends," Ende said. "We all go off into different sports (in the spring) so we're not going to be with each other every day.
"We're proud that we had a winning season. We haven't had one of those in a while."

|Why do mothers die in Dakahlia, Egypt?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17578356 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|AIM: To investigate the causes of maternal mortality in the Dakahlia Governorate in Egypt. METHODS: A confidential enquiry for each case of maternal mortality during the years 2004-2005 was carried out. RESULTS: One hundred and seventy-nine maternal deaths were reported, giving a maternal mortality rate (MMR) of 71.3/100,000 live births. 140 (78.2%) women died due to direct obstetric causes, 24 (13.4%) due to indirect causes and 15 (8.4%) due to accidental or unexplained causes. 44 (24.6%) women died during or following delivery by cesarean section and 91 (50.8%) during labor or within 24 h following delivery. Complications during cesarean delivery, postpartum hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders were the leading causes of maternal mortality. Death due to substandard care was encountered in 85% of cases. Obstetricians were responsible for 51% of causes of avoidable maternal death. CONCLUSION: Maternal mortality in Dakahlia, although declining, is still relatively high. To further reduce maternal mortality, deliveries should be conducted at well-equipped hospitals.

Getting Started with Amazon EC2 Linux Instances
Let's get started with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) by launching, connecting to, and using a Linux instance. We'll use the AWS Management Console, a point-and-click web-based interface, to launch and connect to a Linux instance.
Before you begin, be sure that you've completed the steps in Setting Up with Amazon EC2.
The instance is an Amazon EBS-backed instance (meaning that the root volume is an Amazon EBS volume). We'll also create and attach an additional Amazon EBS volume. You can either specify the Availability Zone in which to launch your instance, or let us select an Availability Zone for you. When you launch your instance, you secure it by specifying a key pair and security group. (You created these when getting set up.) When you connect to your instance, you must specify the private key of the key pair that you specified when launching your instance.
To complete this exercise, perform the following tasks:

Spirit - Poem by M.J. Lemon
The balance between left and right
Where guilty extremes grow contrite...
Is the spirit a purple thing?
As the body copes with aging
The veins and skull fill with raging
Is the spirit a purple thing?
If all stained glass ensnares pure love
Fervor, pride belong to faith above
Is the spirit a purple thing?
A warm softness gives forth the rock
And anguish rests upon a block
Is your spirit a purple thing?
Around the neck every Thursday
For the regal head it must stay
Is the spirit a purple thing?
Your mission to calm and to cure
Subverts, mystifies, the allure!
Is the spirit a purple thing?
Favoured by the young and mourning
it bestows a wartime warning
Is the spirit a perfect thing?

PLEASE don't take this the wrong way. but..... this poem is perplexing; not sure if it is also purple. perhaps it is.
i'm a simple kind of guy. at least some people call me simple. and though no one has called me 'purple', i DO have a poem on PH entitled Purple. i discovered today (2015) that i used my REAL FIRST name in it in error. that is 'being changed', but if you hurry you may catch it. you might be able to use it to blackmail (or purplemail) me.

Poets always looking for answers,
Deep into Life, Deep into Soul,
Trying to decipher the mystery of it All.
This poem enjoys one of those wonderful illuminated moments. We know so little about our inner self, our spirit., our choices, between good and evil. This poem guides us to meditation about so many mysteries in a most poetic and beautiful way. Well done! (Report) ReplyMj Lemon (2/4/2015 1:32:00 AM)

Your poem of inquiry catches me by surprise. Each stanza is thoughtfully crafted, although I admit that I do not necessarily understand every stanza. I'd love a back story for this composition. (Report) ReplyMj Lemon (2/4/2015 1:26:00 AM)
Thank you so much. What I tried to do with this poem was to use the meaning or meanings of purple to explore our inner condition, our spirit or soul. In some cultures, purple is associated with strength and aristocracy, in others it has ideological connotations, while in still other contexts it is a colour that symbolically balances life and death....I've been working on this poem for some time, and only recently came to the realization that purple, as Sandra says above, can serve to divide stark choices, right and wrong, that the poem just came into being. Thanks again for your wonderful comments.
Savita Tyagi (2/3/2015 12:05:00 PM)

Akhtar Jawad (1/17/2015 12:39:00 AM)
Is the spirit a purple thing? an interesting question is this.
Purple symbolizes wisdom, magic and mystery. We feel all the three in that what we call a spirit. If wisdom is on the vertex and other other two at the vertices of the base it's wisdom that tries to control the triangle but often one of the two wheels of the chariot is slipped. so how the spirit can be a perfect thing?
A poem is wonderful if it touches a heart or a brain both and its a touching poem.................10 (Report) ReplyMj Lemon (1/17/2015 10:13:00 AM)

Women – Get Screened for Breast Cancer
Early Detection of Breast Cancer Saves LivesM. D. Anderson News Release 10/02/2007
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, experts at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center encourage women to learn about recommended screening guidelines to improve their chances for early detection of breast cancer. When breast cancer is caught early, the chance for successful treatment is greatest.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women with more than 178,000 new cases expected this year. It's the second leading cause of cancer death with more than 40,000 expected before year-end.
The good news is that breast cancer death rates have steadily decreased since 1990. This recent decline can be attributed in part to the increase of early detection through breast cancer screening.
Breast Cancer Screening
M. D. Anderson recommends women have:
- Clinical breast exams every one to three years beginning at age 20
- Yearly mammograms and clinical breast exams beginning at age 40
M. D. Anderson does not recommend that women conduct a "formal" breast self-examination anymore, but instead recommends that women be familiar with their breasts.
"All women should be familiar with their breasts so that they will notice any changes and report them to their doctor without delay," says Banu Arun, M.D., associate professor in M. D. Anderson's Department of Breast Medical Oncology, and director of the Clinical Cancer Genetics program.
MRI for Women at High Risk
In a recent study, results showed that when certain women at high risk for breast cancer have both a mammogram and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), there is a better chance for breast cancer to be detected early when it is easiest to treat.
The American Cancer Society recently updated its breast cancer screening guidelines to include MRI scans, in addition to mammography, for certain women at high risk of developing breast cancer. They recommend an MRI and mammogram for women who have one of the following:
- Genetic test results showing a gene mutation: BRCA 1 or 2, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden syndrome or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome
- First-degree relative (parent, child, sibling) with one of the above mutations (if the woman has not yet been tested)
- Lifetime breast cancer risk of 20 to 25 percent or greater on an accepted risk assessment tool predominantly based on family history
- History of radiation therapy to the chest (between the ages of 10 and 30)
"M. D. Anderson has been following these guidelines for the past three years among women at high risk in our Clinical Cancer Genetics program," says Arun.
At this time, it is unknown whether an MRI is beneficial for women at high risk who do not meet any of the above criteria. For most women, MRI scans have not yet been shown to be beneficial for breast cancer screening.
Women should speak with their health care provider to determine if they are at high risk of developing breast cancer and if an MRI scan would be appropriate. A woman's health care provider can help her determine what screening tests are appropriate. Women also should check with their health insurance company to see if the cost of a screening MRI is covered.

I have lost no friend by death since the decease of my parents years ago, far back in my childhood.
But to return to my lady:—She got surprisingly well after my master's decease.
In 1843, he resumed the office of "commander-in-chief of the land forces," which he held until his decease.
You agree to settle your fortune after your decease, amounting to L23,000.
He was read to almost every day, and dictated a few days before his decease.
Sir John's authority as her guardian had come into force with the decease of her brother.
And, moreover, she vowed that at her decease she would leave every shilling to me.
Five minutes before his decease the man's pulse was high and full.
After his decease his estate was put up for sale by public auction, under authority of an act of the General Assembly.
When did a great man's heir feel sympathy for his sire's decease?
"death," early 14c., from Old French deces (12c., Modern French décès) "decease, death," from Latin decessus "death" (euphemism for mors), also "a retirement, a departure," from decess-, past participle stem of decedere "die, depart, withdraw," literally "to go down," from de- "away" (see de-) + cedere "go" (see cede). Still used with a tinge of euphemism.
"to die," early 15c., from decease (n.). Related: Deceased; deceasing

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- An 8-month-old baby was killed in a Jacksonville crash, and six others were injured.
The Florida Highway Patrol officers said the baby and four other passengers were in a Land Rover that drove into the path of an oncoming Ford Explorer around 3 a.m. Saturday on Highway 17.
The Ford hit the Land Rover, and both its driver and a passenger were taken to a nearby hospital and treated for minor injuries. Three other passengers in the Land Rover, as well as the driver were also taken to the hospital. At least one of the passengers in that car was in serious condition. Officers are investigating the incident.

The story in this Wicked feature revolves around "sex club" with a female only membership. Men are in the club but they are only there as the ladies playthings. After the ladies come to the club a few times they are offered membership and velvet choke for there neck. Each night they have a drawing and the chosen few get there fantasy fulfilled.
Stormy is the main star in this feature and she has 3 scenes. Her first scene is with Alexis Amore. Alexis's fantasy is to be in complete control of a man. Stormy comes along to help. The scene after that features Lezley Zen. Her fantasy is to be the other woman. Her scene is with Brad Armstrong, who also directed. If you watch the BTS you see that he isn't even suppose to be in the movie but they needed a cock for the scene so he stepped up. Those first two are better then next few one of which is a 3-girl scene including Stormy and Michelle Lay. The final scene was my favorite and has Stormy fulflling her fantasy. In it she is a rich woman who decides to fuck the lowly gas station attendant. The scene is really hot and Stormy pulls off her best scene.
There really isn't a story so much in this DVD and they pull it off well. The extras are normal Wicked fare.

Firstly, please may I take this opportunity to introduce myself
as your new Branch Chair and also to thank you for your continuing
involvement and membership of CIWEM.
Well, busy times, and a busy year! 2012 saw major changes in our
profession and the legislative and economic context for our work.
You'll also have gathered from our excellent publications that it
has been a busy time for CIWEM too.
What with more flooding, preparations for PR14, the work of the
city regions, the introduction of new Local Nature Partnerships and
the roll-out of catchment pilots across much of England, we've all
had our work cut out. Your Branch has been very active too in
putting together an exciting programme of informative and
stimulating events, tackling the critical issues, and helping
provide the tools to get the job done.
Of course, all of us are also facing the challenge to deliver
more with less, meeting new duties to cooperate and the need to
work more effectively across the public, private and not-for-profit
sectors. All of which trips off the tongue far too easily, but
represent major changes in the way we do business, prompting the
urgent need for innovative ways of working.
There are great opportunities too for growth - including green
growth - which we can and should act upon now. By making the most
of the UK's track record in this area, we can help push forward the
sustainable development agenda that CIWEM has been so influential
in shaping over the years.
There are also great chances out there for personal development,
despite the tough economic climate. Now is clearly a time to get
'stuck in', but certainly not to get stuck - and CIWEM offers the
constant, invaluable opportunity to reflect on our work and to
learn from each other. Now more than ever we have to make time to
invest in professional development.
To me, simply speaking with members who have a lifetime of
experience in our profession and of working with CPD institutions
like CIWEM represents an excellent privilege and a golden
opportunity. And the great thing is it is open to us all, not just
the few.
It is also reassuring to know just how many of you have been
very actively involved and remain committed to our institution, its
aims and its objectives. As part of my new role I have had the
pleasure of witnessing this commitment first-hand, and been
extremely impressed with the results we can achieve together.
I trust you will find our programme of events and talks very
helpful, and look forward to seeing you at a CIWEM T&H Branch
meeting soon.

DANVILLE, KY. — In the days before hundreds of reporters descend upon Danville to cover Thursdays vice presidential debate at Centre College, students at the liberal arts school were busy testing the technology that will be used during the event.
The team that installed the technology wanted to test it before the big day, and asked students to attempt to break the network.
Assistant information technology director David Frey said students were asked to call people, power up wireless devices and plug in Internet connections at each station.
This is great, he said at one point to those who came ready to cause trouble. We actually have a problem right now.
Frey said the activities were like a stress test for the system, which technicians have been working on for weeks. The problem reported early on involved interference with outgoing calls. Techs were able to fix it almost immediately.
IT director Art Moore told The Advocate-Messenger that no major problems were found during the test only a few minor programming issues that were easily fixed. He said officials were pleased with the findings of the test.
Shane Wilson, the schools network services coordinator, said it helps to find potential problems early.
This is what we needed. When youre a technical person, you know how its supposed to work, but sometimes you miss the simplest things, he said.
Wilson said it has been a busy year as various companies such as Boice.net and Cisco have worked to ready the campus for the debate.
For some who participated in manning the phones, the experience was meaningful since participants were encouraged to call overseas.
Senior Koen Hocker, a native of the Netherlands who plans to participate in the debate festivities, was the last person left talking on the phone during the test. He said helping the school prepare was a nice bonus to a free conversation with his sister.

If all results of all kinds of sexual intercourse are seen as a sacred and protected after the moment of conception, how should we think of a woman who refuses to have sexual intercourse with a male at all? Is she not guilty of preventing new life that would been born out of that sexual encounter she denied?
We can fantasize endlessly about all the great things that this theoretical child could have had if the sexual intercourse would just have been allowed to take place. We could do this fantasizing just well as some religious people are so fond of fantasizing about the future of the fetuses that get aborted. They do this, even if they do not know if this fetus would have been still-born in just a few weeks later of would have died of a lethal disease in a few weeks after being born.
If we worry so much about the rights of a fetus, how about the rights of the child that would have been conceived, if a woman would not have said 'no' to a man? If we really think that a woman should not have any right to control what happens in her body after any act of sexual intercourse, because the 'sacredness' of a fetus consisting of a few cells at first, how depraved must we see women who refuse even the possibility of this new and 'sacred' life from ever emerging?
At which point does a woman lose her right to decide by herself of her own fate anymore? Does this happen on the moment of sperm and egg cells merging or when the first division of the cells, the second division of the cells or the third, or does it even happen at the moment of male ejaculation?
On the other hand, the biggest responsibility for unwanted pregnancies that lead to abortions lies on the people who dont want to give children sex-education and most of all who make the easy access to contraceptives difficult in countries like the United States. However, the real blame falls on the people who continue stubbornly to make sex seem so dirty that many ordinary people just cannot talk about, for example, the use of contraceptives at all.
It seems that for many it is difficult to even speak about sex, when you have been scared stiff about even mentioning the thing for all of your life. However, as humans just are what they are, some of them will always have sex out of wedlock. If they do not have the equipment and knowledge to prevent pregnancies, the unwanted, unneeded and decidedly extremely harmful pregnancies will inevitably happen.
They will often harm the lives of all of the people involved a and most of all the life of the future, unexpected and unwanted child. On most cases, the whole drama would have been quite easily avoided with the proper use of contraceptives in the first place.
However, if you have been taught all your life that sex is something disgusting and dirty, you will be at a definite disadvantage to people who can handle the thing in a rational way. Of course, basically sex is just as natural for humans as eating and drinking. Because of this, the control of the human sexuality to the degree that many modern cultures still try to do it, is one or the most difficult tasks a society can face. The sorry fact is that most of this trouble is gone into because of old cultural baggage.
All societies throughout the human history have controlled the sexual desires and impulses of their members to a certain degree. However, the exact nature of these limitations is decided by nature and state of economic development in the society.
For example, a typical Polynesian society with a common source of resources simply has no similar sexual stigmas and limitations that the societies based on private ownership do have. Most of these limitations for sexuality that we have now have to do with the rise of the agricultural society and its needs, but in a post-industrial society they are often just cultural remnants from an age when there were no modern tools for controlling the results of sexual activity.
On the other hand, very often the most staunch opponents of abortion are paradoxically the most staunch supporters of the death penalty and aggressive foreign policies and military actions. Still, one just has to ask them: how you think about killing in a war which justification you are not personally convinced at all?
Many opponents of abortion do not in reality care at all for people who will be born against the will of their parents if abortion is made impossible. All too often they do not want to think about the poverty and an social environment that is already full of crime into which many of these unwanted children would so often be thrown into.
No, they are blinded by dogma, which of course is mostly of a religious nature. It comes from the time when contraceptives and abortion were not real options. A sorry fact is that people who are blinded by dogma cannot be argued with rationally.
However, I would still like to point out that here in Finland there are very many reasonable Christians, who see abortion or the use of contraceptives as a practical issue, as these things simply do help our society to remain a better place to live for all members of the society.
There just are less of the unwanted, uncared and unloved children who would be here without the use of contraceptives and in some cases, an early and medically safe abortion.

Connecticut remains No. 1 in The Associated Press poll as the Huskies get ready for Baylor in their final non-conference test.
The Huskies cruised in their two games this week, beating Houston and Temple. Now UConn will visit seventh-ranked Baylor and face star guard Odyssey Sims on Monday night. The Lady Bears have won 69 straight games at home.
Notre Dame, Duke, Stanford and Louisville followed the unbeaten Huskies, with the first five teams unchanged.
Maryland, Baylor, South Carolina, North Carolina and Kentucky round out the top 10. The Wildcats were one of 13 teams in the Top 25 last week that lost games.
Rutgers, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M entered the poll in the final three spots, while Indiana, San Diego and Georgia dropped out. The Scarlet Knights will host UConn on Sunday.

Citation: Pan, M., Ferguson, C., Crow, W.T., Wood E. 2006. Using data assimilation techniques to calibrate soil moisture retrievals [abstract]. EOS Transactions, American Geophysical Union, Fall Supplements. 87(52):H21I-03. Technical Abstract: Traditional efforts to quantify the value of remotely-sensed soil moisture retrievals via comparison to ground-based measurements have been hindered by inconsistencies in spatial and temporal scales between the two products. A new method was developed to assess the "skill" of remotely-sensed soil moisture retrievals that does not require ground observations; this was applied successfully at two transects with four different remotely-sensed soil moisture data sets. In this study, we use this newly developed method to calibrate the Land Surface Microwave Emission retrieval Model (LSMEM) across the contiguous United States at a one-degree spatial resolution. LSMEM is implemented to retrieve soil moistures from passive spacebourne radiometer data over a period of several years. Ultimately, performance of the calibrated LSMEM is assessed over the study area. Given the spatial heterogeneity of land cover across the United States, this exercise thoroughly explores the utility and robustness of this method, providing valuable insights for future work.

The Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a United States development finance institution, is investing further in Latin America, Southeast Asia and the sub-Saharan Africa for renewable energy projects.
The corporation will be providing $125 million for TPG Alternative & Renewable Technologies Partners and $50 million to GEF Africa Growth Fund. The two are new investment funds that will bring the latest renewable energy technologies to emerging markets in Latin America, Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Separately, around $185 million in financing will be going to the development of solar power capacity in Peru. OPIC will fund the construction of two 20-megawatt solar power plants that will produce nearly 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
Conduit Capital Partners, a private equity investment firm, will construct and operate the two plants, Tacna and Panamericana, which will be located in Peru's rural south.
This is OPIC's second major solar project in Peru. They also provided financing for the construction of two other 20-MW solar power plants in the country's Arequipa region (See related story).
OPIC is the United States Government's development finance institute, mobilizing private capital to help solve development challenges and advance U.S. foreign policy. To date, OPIC has supported more than $200 billion of investment in over 4,000 projects, generated an estimated $75 billion in U.S. exports and supported more than 276,000 American jobs, the agency said. – EcoSeed Staff

Man gets 8 years for exposing self to girls
Published On: Mar 11 2013 03:25:43 PM EDT Updated On: Mar 06 2013 05:59:51 PM EST
A registered sex offender caught exposing himself to young girls in December was sentenced last month to eight years in prison.
Jacksonville police said they were conducting a special surveillance operation Dec. 12 to capture 32-year-old David Manigault, a lewd exhibition suspect who was reported exposing himself to young children.
Their investigation led to the identification of Manigault as a potential suspect.
The morning of Dec. 12, police captured Manigault in the act of exposing himself to three girls, ages 10, 9, and 6.
He was sentenced Feb. 26.

Shoppers are flocking to the malls to buy their loved ones gifts. Many are stopping at apparel and home goods retailers that feature prominently on the elite IBD 50 list of leading growth stocks.
Here are five IBD 50 stocks that are poised to have a happy holiday season:
While highly touted tech IPOs have fallen short this year, upscale clothing designer Michael Kors (KORS) has surged past expectations in the year since its December 2011 debut, its share price rising from 25 to 53.49 on Friday. Kors has posted double or triple EPS growth the past five quarters. Its latest quarterly sales growth of 74% was the best in at least four years. Kors is ranked No. 4 on the IBD 50 list.
Shares fell 3% on Friday but closed up 7% for the week, above the 50-day moving average.
Lululemon Athletica (LULU) comes in at No. 23. The fashionable yoga wear retailer's shares jumped on its quarterly earnings report earlier this month and continued to stretch upward despite the retailer issuing mixed guidance. Lulu shares fell slightly to 75.71, but are still above the 50-day line.
SodaStream (SODA), ranked No. 27, allows families to make their own flavored soft drinks at home. The Israeli company had stressed the cost-saving incentives of its machines but now is focused on the environmentally friendly aspects of its business. SodaStream has reported double-digit EPS growth in its last three quarters. Its shares fell nearly 3% on Thursday and Friday, retreating from Wednesday's nine-month high.
Pier One (PIR) makes the list at No. 32. Earlier this month, the eclectic home goods store reported a 19% rise in quarterly EPS to 25 cents. Sales steadily climbed 11%. Shares fell 1% Friday to 20.24. The stock has been consolidating since early November.
Ann (ANN) finishes off the list at No. 46. Last month, the women's apparel retailer reported profit and sales above estimates due to strong sales of its Ann Taylor and LOFT brands. While Ann sells classic style clothing, the company is embracing future trends, and during the quarter, launched a marketing initiative to make use of mobile sales and other emerging technologies. Shares closed at 33.88 on Friday, just shy of the 50-day line.
And for Ann, Lululemon and other shoppers, they'll likely use their Visa (V) or MasterCard (MA) credit or debit cards. Both card giants also are on the latest IBD 50.

Right now, I'm taking a break from archaeology. I spent the days between the U.S. holidays of Memorial Day and Labor Day digging from two to six hours, flying up and down Kalimdor, in an attempt to get the Vial of the Sands. I felt someone within my guild should have it. While I had other guild members doing archaeology, they weren't dedicated -- no, the proper term is "crazy" -- enough to spend hours doing this. By the end of August, I didn't care about the items that got me 100 or 200 gold when vendored (Cat Statue with Emerald Eyes and Silver Scroll Case). I just wanted the recipe. Finally, after my fifth canopic jar, there it was. I had all the mats ready, and the day I got it, I could become a dragon.
I almost never use the mount. If someone wants a ride, I transform and we go once or twice around town. But as my permanent ride? No. It's too big and awkward for my tastes.
So was it worth it? Yes, yes it was, but I have been thinking about the archaeology rewards. One of my guild members spent a great deal of time digging in Northrend and has all the purple rewards from that continent. Most people I know do archaeology until they get the Pterrodax Hatchling and the Fossilized Raptor and then quit. They can't stand the grind anymore. I've got the dressing gown and the ring, which have gone to an alt, and I keep The Innkeeper's Daughter in the bank. It was funny at first, but then it just got annoying to have her follow me and then drop over dead when I stopped running.
It seems as if archaeology is a love it or hate it profession. When I ask guild members how they are doing with it, most have given up. They don't like flying all over a continent for a reward they aren't sure of. Even people who I know are completionists have not embraced archaeology as they did cooking or first aid. It seems to rank lower than fishing on the like scale.
We know change to the profession is coming. It's been announced we'll be able to specialize in one culture and dig up only artifacts in that culture. I would have liked that for Tol'vir. It would have made the low drop rate on the recipe akin to running Stratholme for that blasted horse. I can deal with that. It was the need to fly all over Kalimdor that made me feel I was being really stupid for trying to get this.
How has the profession treated you? Do you have everything or did you quit right after you got the raptor mount? Do you think the amount of time you have to spend equals the rewards? Have you even picked it up, or have the horror stories of the long grind caused you to say nope? Do you have a favorite item you've received from archaeology? (Personally, I'm waiting for void storage so I can get these things out of my bags ...)

Next 13 games are prime time for Rangers to increase AL West lead
From Rangers beat writer Gerry Fraley
CLEVELAND — The Rangers have more chances to do what they have excelled at this season: pound the also-rans.
Starting with a series-opener against Cleveland on Friday night, the Rangers will play 13 of their next 16 games against clubs that currently have losing records. At 42-21, the Rangers have the best record in the American League against clubs with losing records. Cincinnati, in the National League Central, has the best record in the majors against clubs with losing records at 53-26.
This stretch for the Rangers includes six games against Cleveland, in a remarkable free-fall. The Indians began play on June 24 at 37-33 and leading the American League Central by a half game. Starting with that game, the Indians are 18-42 to fall well out of contention.
"We want to continue to play good baseball," second baseman Ian Kinsler said. "We came out of our shells and played a little better. There are a lot of games left. We want to keep playing better."

It's a liberating experience for the woman who has the confidence to present herself as she pleases.
HILLARY Clinton made major headline news last week when she stopped off in Bangladesh in her capacity as the American Secretary of State with almost no make-up on. Like, what in God's name was she thinking?
Personally, I don't care if a woman wears make-up or not, but Hilary has just gone and broken the Golden Rule of Make-up, which states that once you start wearing it, you can only stop at your own peril.
When people see you with full make-up on everyday, they generally associate you with the look you've created. So when you suddenly strip away the mask, they are often taken aback because you look different.
Hillary has been seen wearing make-up long before she and Bill took over the White House. It's always been part of her public face, but now that public face looks tired and drawn and older … When we look at her now, instead of thinking about the crises that she's trying to avert and the great public relations job that she's doing, we see sun spots and wrinkles and little spidery capillaries around her nose … Blemishes that most of us have at her age. Blemishes that we seldom notice forming on the faces of our loved ones, because they occur gradually. But with Hillary, there was no gradual public display. Just a sudden, stark unveiling in Bangladesh for all the world to see. Like, whoa!
But Hillary really doesn't give a toss. And you've got to admire her for that. She knows she's proven herself more than capable in her field, and can present herself as she pleases. I love her confidence. If only more women felt that way, without the need to be Secretary of State at the same time.
At the other extreme, I know a woman who wears make-up all the time, even when she goes to bed. Her husband has never seen her naked face. She gets up before him every morning, removes her make-up, has a shower, and then reapplies her make-up before he wakes up. Like, how tedious is that? How about some extra sleep for a change? And what about all that make-up smeared over her pillows? And more importantly, does she really think that he thinks that she looks like that all the time?
What if something were to happen to her, and he had to go to the local morgue to identify her body? If she doesn't have any distinguishing moles or scars on her body, he might not recognise her scrubbed face in the body bag.
"Nah, that's not my Lucy," he might say. "Lucy has really long eyelashes, a flawless skin and lips the colour of crushed damsons."
And if you finally convinced him that it is indeed Lucy, he might feel cheated – that he never got to see the real woman. That he fell in love with an illusion.
As a woman, I would want to be able to expose my nakedness to my partner, warts and all, and for him to gaze upon my imperfections and still find me beautiful. And if he didn't find the nude me attractive, I would max out his credit cards, shred his suits, and dump him for someone who does.
I used to date a man who disliked make-up, which is kind of odd when I think about it, because the first time we met, I was wearing make-up. And throughout the first year of our relationship, I wore make-up when I went out with him. Then one day, he announced that he would prefer it if I didn't wear make-up.
The idea scared the bejeezus out of me, but I complied. What can I say? It was a long time ago and I was eager to please.
A pattern was then established: whenever I was with him I would "dowdify" myself, as I used to call it, and the minute I was away from him, I would put my make-up on.
Then one evening, when we were having dinner in a restaurant, I caught him ogling another woman – a woman who was so obviously wearing make-up. I wanted to tip his bowl of soup into his lap, but I restrained myself. Instead, I went off to the loo and applied some powder and lipstick and a little bit of eyeliner.
After that incident, my ogle radar was on full alert. And sure enough, a few weeks later, when we were sitting in an Italian restaurant, I saw him glancing a little bit too long at another woman sporting a full face of make-up.
"You know something," I said, taking a bolstering swig of Chianti, "if you ask for Spaghetti Bolognese, and it's placed in front of you, it doesn't make much sense to be drooling at the thought of a plate of lasagna. You need to get your order straight."
He stared at me without saying a word, which indicated that he understood what I was saying. Either that or he was trying to figure out why I was talking about Spaghetti Bolognese and lasagna when he'd ordered risotto.
When I related this little anecdote to my current partner, a man who doesn't mind make-up as long as it's appropriate, he responded by saying that some men don't like make-up on their partner because it doesn't taste good.
He so obviously hasn't tasted crushed damson lipstick before.

The scouts will accept donations in the rear parking lots at Cedar Crest High School from 1 to 4 p.m. Volunteers are needed from 12:15 to 5 p.m. to help sort items; fill, tape and mark boxes; collect items from cars; and stack items in two tractor-trailers. Adults and children 12 and older are invited to participate.
Anyone wishing to volunteer is asked to contact Jen Trovinger at email@example.com or 717-273-5472, or Jestine Andrews at firstname.lastname@example.com. They are coordinating the collection with the Rev. Tom Stark of Church of the Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in North Cornwall Township.
Donations will be taken to New Jersey and distributed through the Atlantic City Rescue Mission and Good Shepherd's Mission Central service. One truck will go directly to a collection site in Atlantic City, where needy families will be given items directly by coordinators and local volunteers.
Families in that region were only allowed to return to their homes on Monday, two weeks after the hurricane struck the coast, to try to salvage what they could from their properties.
"Even though some power has been restored to that area, their homes are filled with sand, furnaces were destroyed in the flood and most electricity is not safe to operate in the homes that were left standing," Trovinger wrote in an email Tuesday.
Direct collection sites serve the displaced, who can only carry two or three days' of clothes and toiletries at a time, before they return to shelter sites.
STBI, part of Bridge Distributor Group, is donating the trucks and trailers, and Swiss Premium Dairy and Home Depot are supplying boxes to pack supplies. Other help has come from Country Boy Agriculture, Ezell Auctions, Jubilee Ministries, Calvary Chapel, St. Mark's United Church of Christ, Bridge Distributors and the Verna family.
Items needed include working space heaters; new packages of socks and underwear; new blankets; adult diapers; personal and baby wipes; baby food (no glass jars); female sanitary napkins; Clorox bleach and latex cleaning gloves; paper plates and towels; canned meat (fish and chicken); peanut butter and jelly (no glass jars); laundry detergent; toothbrushes in packages; toothpaste; bars of soap; bathing washcloths; gallon zip-close bags; and Band-Aids. The only clothing items accepted will be clean winter coats, hats and gloves.

A Full Screen of Gorillas in Queen of the Wild
By Bernie on 22 Apr 2012
This morning I hit a full screen of gorillas in the slot game Queen of the WIld at Bally's Casino in Atlantic City. For a detailed description of the game read my article Mega Big Win on Queen of the Wild Slot Machine.
This is the first time I have ever seen 15 gorillas line up. It paid $1125 for a dollar fifty bet.
It was the highest payout on that particular machine since it was installed last year. Although it is a small payout for $1.50 compared to traditional three-wheel slots, because of the animation and sound effects it actually drew a small crowd.

Broken Heart
Intro:D D D A
I'm lost in a dream with a man full of sadness
Remember the good time that we had in a madness
Rose and tears with illusions of fire
All of my life was fill with desire
I think you wrote the lyrics by you ear. So there is a bunch of mistakes, like man full of madness (the original is mind's), rose and tears (original is frozen tears)...
Second - the tune is Eb
Third - the chords are completely incorrect if you will try to play along with tune. The chords of the verse are: A, F, A, F...
And last - there is only 1 verse. Check out my guitar pro version of the tune
