'I look AWESOME in head-dresses!'
'This petticoat is enormous! ...I like it!'
'Holy cow, I look taller in tiered skirts!'
'I thought I hated wigs, how come this one suits my face so nicely?!'
Everyone has had a moment of pleasant surprise in this fashion, whether it be because a pastel wig suited your skin tone perfectly, or hit the jackpot on closet-child, or that first time you took a gamble in a brand new style. Why not share yours?

" Many Things To Many People" Prague by Krumlovgirl
Prague Travel Guide: 12,004 reviews and 25,280 photos
I have a split personality when it comes to Prague. On one hand, I want to tell everyone how wonderful it is and I feel somehow personally responsible for the way that it is protrayed. On the other hand, I would like to add to the fears about it being overcrowded, unsafe, and boring because I DON'T want other people visiting. I'd like to keep it to myself and the select others that are also as enchanted with it as I am.
But the truth is, it is truly a wonderful place to be. Yes, there are more and more tourists everyday and there are times when it feels like you hear more English than Czech being spoken. And yes, the prices are rising and will continue to do so after they go Euro. But man, what a city. If you get off the beaten path and tourists tracks and evenjust wander down the alleys and streets you'll find parts of it untouched. As my mother says, it's the kind of city where you wouldn't be surprised to see a man walk out of the mist in a large top hat and long coat-and wouldn't be surprised if he was Jack the Ripper. A magical, mystical place.

I LOVE your cat photo. What a wonderful & informative travel page you have produced! Thanks for all the shared info. Regards Martha
Fine texts on your three travelogues! I also once wrote a story about Prague. It was about my 30th birthday and was called The Ten Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-Ninth Day. (Which it really wasn't, but of course I didn't have a computer at the time.)

On a recent visit to Pilgrim Congregational Church in Pomona, where I was researching a column on its former Boys' Brigade unit, a second-story breezeway offered this arresting view. The red brick, Gothic-style church on Garey Avenue at Pearl Street takes up a block of street frontage and was built in 1912 — although this view makes it seem positively medieval.
Category Archives: Around Pomona
Column: Boys' Brigade once turned boys to men in Pomona
Friday's column looks back at Boys' Brigade, an international youth group that had a chapter for decades in Pomona at Pilgrim Church. One of its most popular leaders recently died, with services coming on Saturday, making this a good time to delve into the story of why church boys were camping out and marching around with unloaded rifles.
Above and below, three undated photos from the church's collection.
Column: The latest from Pomona: brews and news you can use
Wednesday's column begins with a clutch of items from Pomona, many about food or drink. Then there's belated reaction to my column about President Grant, with surprising local angles. Finally, there's an update about my Henry Bumstead film festival, which continues this Thursday with "The Sting."
Firehouse Inn forlorn, but cleaner
The Firehouse Inn was a popular Pomona restaurant of the 1970s in a unique location: a former Fire Department station built in 1924. Shades of Engine Co. 28 in downtown LA!
The Italianate-style station was Pomona's second. According to Gloria Ricci Lathrop's 1976 "Pomona: A Centennial History," from which the above photo and caption were taken: "Located at Garey Avenue and Alvarado, its purpose was to handle fires in the north part of Pomona, especially if freight trains blocking the crossings prevented the main station's crews from traveling to answer the calls."
After some alterations, the restaurant opened in 1970, according to a Progress-Bulletin story from that April. The restaurant lasted until about 1988, based on phonebook listings; it's unclear if anything took its place. It's been vacant for years.
Incidentally, can that be the same street light today from whenever the historic photo was taken?
With a new Starbucks having opened across Alvarado, on a previously dead corner that had a long-vacant gas station, there's more traffic and renewed attention. On an April 8 Starbucks visit, I walked across the street to look at the Firehouse Inn building. On the door was a Notice of Abatement, dated two days earlier and signed by a judge. (I can't even try to relax without bumping into news, evidently.)
According to Community Development Director Mark Lazzaretto: "The weeds at the Firehouse Inn were unbearably high and there was trash and debris throughout the site. We sent notices to the owner, but the owner failed to comply. In these situations, we go to court for an abatement order, which allows the City to clean up the site so that the neighborhood isn't burdened with the blight. We then lien the property and recoup our costs when the property is sold."
For now, the Firehouse Inn sits, boarded up, waiting for progress. Would anyone like to comment about the current condition, the recent past or memories of having dined there?
New Starbucks opens in Pomona
A skinny little Starbucks opened last week on Garey Avenue and Alvarado Street in Pomona, only blocks from the 10 Freeway and on the western edge of the historic Lincoln Park neighborhood.
It's not exactly what residents there would have liked, as the coffee house is oriented toward motorists, not pedestrians looking for a place to hang out. There's no inside seating. There is a walk-up window, like you're at a Dairy Queen, but the only outdoor seating is a couple of tables with umbrellas by the drive-thru lane, so, not really cozy. (Starbucks got in its application to build before a ban on drive-thrus on this portion of Garey went into effect.)
On the bright side, Starbucks replaces a gas station that had been closed and derelict for years. Its presence may add momentum to efforts to oust the methadone clinic that operates quietly in the building to the north, or to generate interest in redeveloping the long-vacant Firehouse Inn building on the south side of Alvarado. And if the traffic introduces more people to Donahoo's, that won't be bad either. (If Donahoo's were encouraged to fix both its signs — one of which is missing two letters, the other of which has two letters in a different color than the rest — that would also be progress.)
Column: Jenny Lewis invites fan onstage to sing 'Glendora' in Pomona
I was in Pomona at a Glass House concert Tuesday, minding my own business, when suddenly news broke out: The singer invited a fan from the audience to come onstage and sing a portion of a song about Glendora.
You can read about that in my Sunday column, as well as about my Ontario film series. I shot a one-minute video of the impromptu performance, which you can watch here (warning: adult language!); a full version from closer to the stage can be viewed here.
Beck in Pomona: the '90s venues
Beck performed three times in Pomona in the mid-1990s, as recounted in detail in my Wednesday column.
Above, the former Munchies sandwich shop and bar at 291 E. Second St., where Beck sang one night in 1993; it's now vacant. Below, the former Haven coffeehouse at 296 W. Second St., where Beck performed on Jan. 22, 1994; it's now Pizza Beer Wings, a sportsbar. At bottom, the Glass House at 200 W. Second St., where Beck headlined in June 1996 (date unclear). It's still around — whew.
Column: They're rehearsing to beat the band
Sunday's column (Happy Easter!) is largely about the Pomona Concert Band. But I also present a plug for the last two weeks of entries on this blog and update you on my Ontario film series.
Remembering the Poly Trolley
Cal Poly Pomona's Facebook page posted this circa 1990 image of the campus tram, which operated from 1975 to 2003 and was known as the Polywagen and the Poly Trolley, along with this witty caption:
"Twenty-five years ago, students could be seen walking around campus in strangely patterned grandpa cardigans and high-waisted jeans. Seems like not much has changed. Except the tram. RIP, tram."
The post has more than 1,000 likes and many comments from alumni. Among them:
Melissa Oldenburg: "I miss the tram. I remember how the exhaust fumes kept me warm on chilly mornings when I sat directly behind its exhaust vent."
Michael Nguyen: "I miss running and jumping on the tram. That was a fun memory."
Laura Gomez Alvarado: "I miss getting soaked on rainy days."
Micheal Fro Fro Huluf: "If CPP brings the trams back, that will be awesome."
To which the university replied: "You say that, but you might not like it if it were raining when you tried to ride it. But who are we kidding? It doesn't rain here anymore."
(Whoever is in charge of this FB page deserves a pat on the back.)
Cal Poly now uses the name Poly Trolley for a lunch wagon and, rather than an open-air tram, uses buses, called the Bronco Shuttle, to ferry students, faculty and staff from parking lots to campus buildings on the commuter campus.
Column: Housewife was a leader in Pomona civic life
Sunday's column is mostly about Beth Page, a volunteer active in Pomona from the 1940s until her recent death at 103. Also: cultural notes, a plug for this blog and an Inland Valley motorcycle chase that made news in LA, NYC and the UK.
About Beth, I knew her a little and interviewed her once, making a tribute item a natural. A photographer searched our archives for photos of her and came up with one, which looked familiar to me. Evidently I took it myself to accompany my December 2006 column on her, but it didn't run with the column, probably for space reasons. It was satisfying to get it into print and online this time. It only took eight years.

Oberyn Martell was such an awesome character. I wanted to pay a brutal homage to him. I've come to realize that any character you become attached to, Mr. Martin will surely find a way to brutally rip them away from us haha.
Did this right after I saw the battle between the Mountain and the Viper. Inks on hot press paper.
Did this right after I saw the battle between the Mountain and the Viper. Inks on hot press paper.
Well done!!!
Brutal man, brutal. I love it! Even though, I honestly shouldn't.
beautiful....gross but beautiful. *CRUNCH*
this scene was so freaking intense
possibly the most violent moment in game of thrones
My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill my father. Prepare to OH GOD OH SHIT MY EYES AAAAAH
WOW! This is amazing!
This is a beautiful homage. The blood flies like a spitting viper's, desperate and deadly. I at least hope the Mountain doesn't come away uninfluenced.
If we wouldn't know them to be in danger, maybe they would be less important to us. It seems strange but I like Oberyn's death as well as his character.
Great reinterpretation work!

Hey, remember when Oprah gave everyone in her audience a new car (previously)? It was ten years ago tomorrow.
The how and why of leaking your own album, in two forms: Ben Folds Five and Wiley
In July 2008, there was a suspicious leak of new Ben Folds Five material, two months in advance of the (then) forthcoming album, Way to Normal. One month later, Ben Folds confessed that he and his touring band made the 6 fake songs in 8 hours (plus three tunes actually from the album), and he compared the fake tracks to the real album. Two years later, Wiley tweeted that he sacked his manager, and in a form of retaliation, shared 11 seemingly random collections of tracks in various forms of completion. [more inside]
All Hallow's Read: because there aren't enough traditions that involve giving books
"This Halloween, give somebody a scary book, to read. That's it. That's the idea. It's going to be a tradition." It's an idea Neil Gaiman came up a year ago. It's called All Hallow's Read, with a website and everything, which has book recommendations of all sorts, plus stickers, bookmarks, cards, and a small story you can print off, as well as a poster contest for next year's event. [more inside]
Damn That Lemonade Stand!
"His fiancee smiled and commented, 'Isn't that cute. They have the spirit of giving.' That really set me off, as my regular readers can imagine. 'No!' I exclaimed [...] 'They're giving away their parents' things [...] It's not theirs to give.' I pushed the button to roll down the window and stuck my head out to set them straight. 'You must charge something for the lemonade.'"
O Wholly Night
In a small triumph of humanity/common sense over technology, a supermarket experiencing a computer crash gives customers their "purchases" free of charge until the cash registers are up and running again.
Giveaway of the Day
Giveaway of the Day. One free complete commercial software package with free registration per day. Today it is Web Stream Recorder Pro.
Here we are now
Free TiVo. If you are an American consumer and live in the Bay Area, the TiVo company on Friday will give away 40GB Series 2 recorders to Comcast customers who bring their cable bill and a gift for The Family Giving Tree charity to TiVo headquarters in Alviso, Calif. The giveaway will last from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., or until they run out of units, and will be limited to one recorder per household.
Merry Oprahmas
Oprah I've never cared for her. Except today she gave away 276 new cars to her studio audience, members of which were selected based on need. I now like Oprah. A lot.
McDonald's Screwed Up Giveaway
McDdonald's gives away $15,000,000 after previous giveaways found fixed. Better get 'em while they're hot!
Yippee! Free Slurpees!
Just a bit ago, there was a crowd of about 2,000 in downtown Seattle chanting "AMD! AMD!" People will do anything for the chance at free processors. It was seriously a spectacle, and a marketing department's wet dream. Who knew you could get 2,000 nerds to show up at 5-6am and stand around in the cold for two hours, and have them still be in good enough spirits to chant your brand name in response to the question "Who do you love?" (Of course, I might be less cynical about it if they'd just called number 4495.) Were any other MeFi peeps out there? Someone should post pictures. It was really kind of surreal.

I was a winner, I got my Tivo last week, and love it. It was a 30-hour model, not the 14-hour one advertised. How do all you other winners feel about yours (now that you no longer have to kiss up to Tivo to get them)?

Very good looking textures.
Ham and Jam is a teamplay orientated, first person WW2 multiplayer game centred around the British and Commonwealth campaigns from 1939-45. Historically accurate missions coupled with careful balance between realistic and enjoyable gameplay makes Ham and Jam a unique experience. Ham and Jam started out as an idea between it's two main developers as an alternative to the tired old "U.S./Russia vs. Germany, post June 6th 1944" formulae WW2 games seem to use. Fed-up with everything prior to D-Day being ignored, the North West Europe theatre and the lack of British, Commonwealth and Free Forces they decided to do something about it. The goal was clear, to make a WW2 mod that featured all the missing bits of WW2 history, portray it in a historically accurate way but without detracting from the fun or playability by overdoing realism. In short the kind of game they and their friends would like to play. The name comes from the original code words for the capture of the Pegasus/Orne bridges
Very good looking textures.
Indeed. They perfectly fit.
Nice !
reminds me of Company of Heroes game :)
That's because CoH is based off of WW2 and it's environments on the Western Front. So yes, every game based off of WW2 is gonna look similar to each other.

Band was very well rehearsed and the songs were well crafted but nothing special Sounds like all other modern country kinda lame. Chick on bass guitar has star quality. I could listen to her sing all night.
Lead singer is talented, good voice but he tries to hard. Needs to play his dues but has potential as a singer and a songwriter. Needs maturity. Seems like a nice kid.
Sound could have been better. Vocals were a bit buried in the mix but not bad.

City Attorney Pete Holmes showed some real spine yesterday in standing up against the punch heard round the world . Unlike other public officials, Holmes
City Attorney Pete Holmes showed some real spine yesterday in standing up against the punch heard round the world. Unlike other public officials, Holmes was willing to call out the SPD for its failure to deal with ongoing problems at that intersection, and jaywalking stops in general, despite many warnings. But if there was an un-Seattle boldness to some of Holmes's comments, there was pure Seattle meekness in his call for "increased cultural sensitivity."
But in raising the "cultural sensitivity" issue in this context, Holmes sends a weasel-y message: that a) the cop's handling of the situation was culturally insensitive; and b) the behavior of the two young women--namely: cursing, shoving, and resisting--is somehow, you know, a black thing that whites need to better understand.
That's a foolish and dangerous road to go down. It's the flip side of profiling, and equally racist. There should be one standard for when force is appropriate, and one standard for what sort of response to a cop is acceptable. And the incident should be judged on that alone.

Sill firefighters battle blazes, budget
August 18, 2011
FORT SILL, Okla. (Aug. 18, 2011) -- Municipalities have been losing police officers and firefighters for the past few years and it seems the Army is no exception. With current budget constraints the Fort Sill Fire Department is feeling the heat.
They acknowledge they are extremely lucky for what they have and that other departments are suffering even more. That being said, they are juggling typical emergencies and an atypical Oklahoma drought.
The firefighters at Fort Sill Station 3 had a few minutes to sit and eat lunch Aug. 11. However, the moment was short-lived as they inhaled their food and were out the door once again.
The morning proved to be a busy one as they responded to three building alarms, a wildfire and an explosive ordnance disposal standby.
"We run medical calls, hazmat (hazardous materials), rescues, any specialized rescue -- we're it. We're all hazards," said Clint Langford, fire chief.
The four fire stations are staffed regularly with four firefighters each working two 24-hour shifts.
The days are broken down into three segments: an eight-hour workday, eight hours of standby, eight hours of sleep. That sequence, though, might not happen consecutively, and the firefighters may have to find sleep when they can.
"Basically, the lifestyle of a firefighter on duty has changed. There's a lot of misconceptions that we sit in recliners all day or we play dominos just watching TV and it's not like that," said Langford. "There's a lot of things we do while we're here anticipating emergencies to come in. We're proactive. Especially here on a military installation. We believe prevention is the key to any emergency response."
Ideally, after those duty days, they would then get three days off, but throughout the summer, wildfires have called the firefighters back to post.
"Unfortunately we recall our off-duty firefighters a lot. If we have several days in the week where there are wildfires, these guys don't get a day off," said Langford.
He said the volume of fires is no different than previous years, but there is a huge difference in the intensity. The ice storms a couple years ago added fuel that is kindled with great ease by the dry conditions. It is not so easy however for the firefighters.
"We have seen fires react in ways that we never thought they would. When we have recurring grass fires in the same locations, we know where the fire is going to go and how to fight it. With conditions the way they are now our methods aren't working this year," said Langford.
Langford has worked at the fire department for 16 years. He said in that time the call volume has increased from 1,100 calls a year to more than 3,100. The explanation is the population increase. BRAC supplied more Soldiers and the Fires Center of Excellence has also become one of the major Basic Combat Training centers.
Besides providing more emergency medical response, the firefighters are also dealing with more range useage which originally they were not set up to handle.
The fire stations were set up to support structural fires only. That has been the least of their problems with drought conditions hunkering down and making a home for the foreseeable future.
"We're not staffed for wild land," said Langford. "When I was a new firefighter, our call volume was less on the structural side so we could afford to basically close a station and send those guys out to fight range fires and do prescribed burns."
Recently, range fires have called for all those working to help, leaving not enough response on post for structural or medical emergencies.
To combat this problem they've tried to implement what Langford called the installation wild land fire management plan. In that plan, they've identified the need for wild land firefighters assigned on the ranges due to their increased use.
"We've actually proved that financially it's a sound plan. We can offset the cost of the personnel with the reduction of lost training time. Unfortunately while that sounds good and that can be a zero net cost to the government it's still an increase in payroll," said Langford.
Those who suit up in the flame retardant gear and head into the trenches said this summer has been extremely long. Capt. Stacy Orf, recalled he and his fellow firefighters have battled fires for more than two days running on only six hours of sleep.
"Pretty well all of us have had IVs (intravenous solutions) at some point this year. I've had it twice, another person has had it twice. A lot of times it's just to get fluid back in our bodies because we just get dehydrated. We get a couple pints and just go again," said Orf.

Hi Ladies,
I'm a faithful lurker on this board and love all the great positive vibes for a natural childbirth. First, a little about me. I'm due 9/22 and am trying to a VBAC after a very long labor which resulted in an emergency c-section and a number of scary complications with my twins (now 22 months). I have wonderful and supportive doctors who haven't even mentioned any type of intervention /induction / c-section and who are very supportive of my VBAC. I'm really hoping for a completely different experience from my first birth and am especially excited to go into labor naturally (was induced at 38 weeks with my twins).
So, here's my reason for posting. I'm just frustrated with DH and maybe I'm being overly sensitive but I just needed to vent to someone and I thought this might be a good place to get it out. DH has what he and I both think is jock itch for about 3 weeks now. He has no doctor so he's been trying to get an appointment with a new clinic. He finally dropped off the paperwork and they told him that it sometimes takes 30 days before they can get records from the previous dr but it will probably only take a couple days since DH's old dr is in state. So, he comes home and tells me this and I'm just so mad. I couldn't even look at him, I had to go upstairs where I promptly started to cry. I was just really mad at DH that he wasn't being more insistent on getting an appointment. He just kept saying, this is how the office does it. I asked him if he told them why he was looking for an appointment, he said no, he's just been talking to the receptionist. Then he got mad at me for being so upset about this.
Here's why I'm upset. 1. Though it probably is nothing, I want to make sure that it's nothing I need to get treated for or that I could possibly be harboring. 2. We haven't had sex in about 3 weeks and I would like to have sex to help this baby along and also since we won't be able to have any for a couple weeks after new baby is here. 3. I've been feeling really distant from him lately and the fact that we're not intimate is not helping. 4. I just feel like he doesn't care.
I know he really doesn't want to go to the doctor and he's embarrassed about what he actually has to go for, but this isn't affecting just him, it's affecting me as well. Maybe it's just my crazy pregnancy hormones getting the better of me.
Sorry this ended up being so long, I just had to get it off my chest and have others help me put it into perspective. Am I blowing it totally out of proportion?

Lake Texoma camp gives kids a break from illnesses
KINGSTON — At 7:10 on a recent morning, Danny Cavett's voice carried throughout the dock area at Catfish Bay Marina at Lake Texoma: "The kids are here."
Cavett is chaplain at The Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center. He also is the man for whom the Cavett Kids Foundation based at OU Medical Center is named. The foundation's mission is to provide camps, including Camp Cavett at Lake Texoma, and other events for children who have life-threatening and chronic illnesses.
As the doors on the large white buses opened, fishing guides and other volunteers line up along one side of the walkway from the parking lot to the dock.
Within minutes, children wearing life jackets walk with their boat captains and camp volunteers to the boats.
"Down here or wherever we're at, we use whatever they have to offer to teach kids about how to cope, about character and connection," Cavett said. "This morning at Camp Cavett, we're using the fishing experience."
About one-third of the children had never been on a boat or been fishing, he said.
"So they will be learning a little patience today, a little character stuff," Cavett said. "Whatever we do we try to emphasize things that will help them in life."
Camp started in '93
Cavett has had this camp since 1993, and it is now at its capacity with 180 children, he said.
"It takes a lot of work, a lot of volunteers," he said. "You're talking about the striper guides here, they have to take off work to come and just give their time to us. So, that's about 50 boats here for this one."
On Saturday, they aim for about 90 boats provided by volunteers, said Gene Gilliland, of the North Oklahoma City Bassmasters Club.
"That's because it's a tournament situation where the kids get all kinds of trophies," Cavett said. "And with the bass boats, we're limited to about two kids per boat."
The overall camp, based nearby at the Cross Point United Methodist Camp, requires about 200 volunteers, which includes nurses and doctors, Cavett said.
"These kids have chronic illnesses like cancer, cystic fibrosis, Crohn's disease and others," he said. "They all have the common things that every chronic illness would have. You've got to take your medicine, you've got to watch your diet and there are all of these limitations. At this camp we want to teach them how to get out in life, so we have their medications, but we just put it like 'We can't get into the water until everyone takes their medicine.'
"Also you put them together with the different chronic illnesses. They see what others are experiencing."
Here they aren't referred to by their illness, but rather the name on their name tags.
Brianna Beck, 16, who has severe asthma, is at her sixth camp. Her mother, Anne Beck, is a nurse at Children's Hospital and volunteers at the camp, as does Brianna's sister, Alyssa, 15.
"It's nice because you don't have to worry about being defined by an illness," Brianna said. "You're not given sympathy just because you're sick or because you have something wrong with you.
"You're actually seen as a person, and that is good."

Hokies Hope Success on Field Can Be Duplicated off It, Too
Foldesy, Jody, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
They say the program has arrived. Perhaps it has.
After decades of breaking bread with college football's mediocrities, Virginia Tech appears to have joined the elite's feast: four consecutive postseason appearances, two straight alliance bowls, four straight years in the Associated Press' final Top 25 and two in the final top 12.
Nonetheless, the Hokies have a revamped lineup for 1997 and face questions as to how good they can be on the field. And with the sordid extracurricular events of the past two seasons lingering - 19 players were arrested on charges ranging from attempted malicious wounding to rape - there's considerable doubt as to how good they can be off the field, too.
To say the least, Tech has endured an offseason of growth.
"This summer was quiet," senior fullback Marcus Parker "We had team meetings almost weekly. Coaches stayed around and helped us out whenever we needed help or advice. [This year] we need to make sure guys don't get out of hand."
The Hokies hope the summer of growth results in an autumn of maturity. On the field, Virginia Tech is coping with the loss of standout senior quarterback Jim Druckenmiller, Big East co-player of the year and a first-round pick in the NFL draft. Off it, they are trying to establish the program as one that keeps people out of trouble.
"I'll say this: When there's no distractions off the field, it's easier to win on the field," said coach Frank Beamer, whose 10th season in Blacksburg concluded with a 41-21 loss to Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. "The fact that we were able to win 10 games last year with all the distractions says a lot about the kind of leaders we had on this football team."
Junior Al Clark, a graduate of Carroll High School in the District, has emerged as Druckenmiller's successor. Clark has proved his game savvy in both spring practices and the Hokies' season-opening 59-19 win over Rutgers last weekend, and his athleticism helps create a versatile attack. Against Rutgers, he rushed seven times for 118 yards and completed seven of 10 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns.
Parker and junior tailback Ken Oxendine give the Hokies a devastating 1-2 backfield punch. Although he missed two games last season because of a bruised shoulder, Oxendine led the league in scoring and earned conference first-team honors. On defense, the Hokies lost a host of talent, but their depth has ensured an athletic, aggressive unit. Sophomore end John Engelberger appears to be an emerging star.
The Hokies' first three opponents are Big East rivals. Although Rutgers wasn't much of a problem and Temple (Sept. 20) is a similar lightweight, Tech will face a dangerous Syracuse squad at home Sept. 13.
To help combat Tech's off-field problems, new rules were established over the summer to clarify the university's punishment for certain crimes. In addition, the school increased support services and provided mentors to help students understand academic goals.
Players charged with felonies are now suspended immediately and remain off the team until charges are dropped or dismissed. Players convicted of felonies, meanwhile, are kicked off the team and lose their scholarships. Players charged with misdemeanors now are punished by the athletic director, not Beamer.
Just one case is pending in court, according to a university official, and of the two players charged in that incident, one has graduated and the other has left the team. There's no guarantee things will remain quiet, but the Hokies appear to be learning the rules of the game outside the painted lines.
"The coaches and administration are taking steps, but the responsibility falls on the players primarily," Parker said. "If you're doing the wrong things out there, it's your problem. You've got to correct it."
So has the program arrived?
All indications say yes. …

Paying Extra on Mortgage. WWYD?
Comments (7)
we pay extra monthly- just easier for us that way since it can be set up as automatic withdrawal. A lump sum here and there would mean going in a changing the automatic withdrawal each time and no advantagre to us to do it that way.
If you are paid biweekly, you can also ask your mortgage company to deduct 1/2 your monthly payment every two weeks. Then, you automatically make an extra half payment twice a year. You'll want to talk with the mortgage company to make sure that the extra payment will be applied to principal.
I spoke with my mortage servicer (Wells Fargo) about this option and decided to stick with twice monthly automatic payments. But Wells Fargo was willing to do it. When I had CitiMortgage, they actually suggested this plan, but I was only paid monthly.
We pay extra with each month. It is easier that way for us, and fit's into our budget better.
I pay extra on princpal every month and sometimes with a bonus or other unexpected money I will pay an extra full payment
Jessica.SAHM to our Girls
LK born 2004,allergies & AG born 2010 Seizures, SPD, allergies
DR since 2009, $145K paid off in 4 years on $40K per year
We can double our payment each mth and pay 10% of the original mortgage 1x / yr. I want to pay an extra $1000/mth but they wont let me cause my current payment is 710(doubled =1420) ill have to save the other $300/mth and do a lump sum at the end of the year.
It would be paid 16 mths faster if i could do a flat $1000 extra every mth
We pay the extra monthly with the regular payment. I expect I will transfer some money left over from sinking funds later this spring as well.
I pay extra each month, not a lot I just round up to the next whole number. It's just easy that way for me.

Broadcast: 22/04/2003
Reporter: Mark Simkin
SIMKIN: For the first time in nearly sixty years, Yoshio Shinozuka is going to China, returning to the scene of his crimes.YOSHIO SHINOZUKA: Our unit did things no human beings should ever do.SIMKIN: During the Second World War, Shinozuka was part of a top secret Japanese army unit that committed some of the worst atrocities in modern history. YOSHIO SHINOZUKA: When I think of the people who I killed so cruelly, and those who fell ill because of the germs I produced, I cannot help apologising to them.SIMKIN: Few people outside China have ever heard of Harbin and yet it should have the same connotations as the Nazi death camps. Today, it is a thriving industrial centre. In the 1930s, when Japan occupied China, it became the headquarters of Unit 731, home to the world's largest biological weapons research complex.At the end of the war, the retreating Japanese destroyed most of the evidence, but some buildings remain.YOSHIO SHINOZUKA: I came here to Harbin in May 1939. We were given various orders. The one I can remember clearly even now was "don't look, don't listen, and most importantly of all, don't tell anyone what happens here".SIMKIN: What happened was that Unit 731 perfected the art of germ warfare. Under the command of this man, General Shiro Ishii, Japan's brightest scientists bred cholera, anthrax and other deadly diseases. These pits once housed thousands of rats. They were used to cultivate bubonic plague.The worst horrors were reserved for this place. Thousands of prisoners were deliberately infected with disease. The doctors took careful notes, this was after all a scientific exercise. After the victims became sick, they were cut open whilst still alive. The doctors wanted to chart the course of the infection. Shinozuka is still haunted by his first vivisection.YOSHIO SHINOZUKA: there was a dissecting table, which was covered with tiles. The human guinea pig, who was to die, was over there, being carried by a special team.SIMKIN: The victim was not given any pain killers in case it affected the germs. Shinozuka, who had no medical training, prepared the body. YOSHIO SHINOZUKA: My legs were shaking at first and I didn't really know what I was doing – I think I closed my eyes. I used a brush and water to scrub his body.SIMKIN: The leaders of Unit 731 tried to cover up what was happening here. They told the locals this was a disease prevention and water purification plant, when of course it was nothing of the sort. The prisoners themselves were called logs, a reference to their sub-human nature and to the timber yard next door where the logs were chopped up.YOSHIO SHINOZUKA: We'd ask each other "How many logs did you chop today?" People would answer "Two logs were cut at my section", or "No logs were cut at my section".SIMKIN: Unit 731's work was not confined to Harbin. The diseases developed there were deliberately spread across China. As many as one quarter of a million people died.The ghosts of that terrible past haunt the present. These people still remember the day the Japanese planes flew over their village, not long after everyone started falling sick, soon after that they began to die.ZHANG WENZHENG: In that family, three generations were wiped out: great grandmother, grandmother, grandson, the pregnant daughter-in-law and her baby – five people died.SIMKIN: The disease was cholera – the villagers thought it was a curse from God. Zhang Wenzheng's father was one of the victims. By the time he died, there were no adults left to carry the coffin.ZHANG WENZHENG: I was just 14 years old, and all I could do was cry. Those who died, died very terrible deaths. You could hear them screaming loudly. They suffered terrible cramps and diarrhoea – they were in agony.SIMKIN: The men and women of this man's village, developed terrible sores on their bodies. Liu Mushui was infected but survived and still bears the scars.LIU MUSHUI: I have tried to fix my leg for so long, but it has never healed. It has cost me a lot of money. I will show you. Take a look, see how bad they are. It is very bad. If I had money, I would be able to get it cut off with a knife. SIMKIN: Some of those who survived the Unit's actions and the relatives of those who didn't have gathered to demand justice. They want an apology and compensation. In 1995, the Japanese government finally issued a general apology for the war, but it's yet to even admit that Unit 731 existed. VILLAGER: We must fight – we must! The Japanese government must compensate us!SIMKIN: The villagers are led by this woman, Wang Xian. She lost her uncle and one third of her village to the germs.WANG XIAN: A terrible death. It's like end of the world and there was a young woman, about 20 years old, was vivisected in this temple, behind me in the temple and the villagers still remember her scream. She said I'm not dead yet, don't cut me open.SIMKIN: Now for the first time, a member of Unit 731 has returned to the scene of the suffering. This time though, Yoshio Shinazuka is armed only with an apology.YOSHIO SHINOZUKA: Looking at your faces, I am deeply sorry for what I did. I committed such atrocities. I realise that simply bowing my head and saying sorry is not enough to earn your forgiveness.SIMKIN: It's the first time these people have heard a Japanese apology and it means a lot.WANG XIAN: I think he is a hero. Probably I might be the first one who says I'm proud of him. I think Japan should be proud of Shinazuka. He is just an ordinary Japanese man. You know he was enlisted when he was a child. He didn't know anything. He tried to serve his country. But see the trauma he has had post war. SIMKIN: A hero in China perhaps, but not back here in his homeland. Other members of 731 consider Shinazuka a traitor, brainwashed by the Chinese authorities. They still maintain their unit was a force for good and have no sympathy for the prisoners who were vivisected.TOSHIMI MIZOBUCHI: From Japan's point of view, they were criminals who had been sentenced to death. We were merely acting as the executioners.SIMKIN: Toshimi Mizobuchi used to teach 731's recruits. He now leads a comfortable life in Kobe and organises the Unit's annual reunion. When the war was lost, Mizobuchi was given the job of destroying the evidence, including left over prisoners.TOSHIMI MIZOBUCHI: The rooms that we kept the logs in were closed up tightly. Usually we sent air through pipes into the room, but instead, methane gas was pumped in. They all choked to death.SIMKIN: As many as twelve thousand human guinea pigs died at Harbin, but from this member of Unit 731, there's no apology and no remorse.TOSHIMI MIZOBUCHI: I am proud of what we did. If I was younger, I'd consider doing it all again because it was an interesting Unit. SIMKIN: Japan has a selective and subjective approach to its military past. They say the victors write history, but that's not always true. Japan lost the war, but more than half a century on, it's still manufacturing its own version of it – a fiction the United States has been happy to endorse. The Yasukuni Shrine honours the two and a half million Japanese who died fighting for their country, including convicted war criminals. Each year on the anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War II, thousands come to pay their respects. It's ANZAC Day with attitude. As far as these people are concerned, Japan has nothing to apologise for.KEIHACHIRO SHIMIZU: All lies! China is the one who did bad things. If Japan did not exist in Asia, China would have been divided up by Western people like Africa was. China has survived because of Japan.SIMKIN: Keihachiro Shimizu is a professor at a respected university. He's convinced Unit 731 never existed.KEIHACHIRO SHIMIZU: It is all nonsense. The same thing happened with the so-called "Nanjing Massacre" – the Chinese get people to say things in return for money. In 50 to 100 years time you will know the truth of history. The Japanese race has never done bad things. That is why we have become such a strong country now.SIMKIN: In China, children are taught about 731 in gruesome detail. The main building of the Unit's headquarters in Harbin has been turned into a museum. 150,000 people visit each year.MALE STUDENT: Unit 731 was very cruel. They did not have any sense of humanity at all. They did not treat men, women or children as human beings; they treated them as animals.SIMKIN: Japanese children are given a very different version of history. Few of these students have even heard of 731. Pupils are taught virtually nothing about the Second World War, most children leave the subject out of class altogether, saying they don't have time to cover it.JAPANESE TEACHER: There is an ambiguous atmosphere and a consciousness that we should not refer to the war or the Emperor's role in it – it is taboo in Japan. Because of that, there are no questions about the war in university entrance exams, and so it is unnecessary to teach it in high school.SIMKIN: Many school textbooks present Japan as a liberator, rather than invader; a victim not an aggressor.KINGSTON: If the Ministry of Eduction had their druthers, there would be an orchestrated collective amnesia – in terms of the textbook screening process, they have presided over a long term white washing of Japan's past, particularly the shared past with Asia. I think there has been in the past a tendency to sweep the unpleasant history under the national tatami mat.SIMKIN: This is the public face of Japanese denial – an ultra nationalist group prowling the streets of Tokyo. There are more than 900 groups like this one, they're well organised and well connected with ties to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party or LDP.ULTRA NATIONALIST REPRESENTATIVE – Speaking over microphone from a convoy travelling the streets of Tokyo: Don't be deceived by foolish left-wing teachers and Marxist foreigners teaching anti-Japanese sentiment and advocating a dark and self-tormenting view of history.SIMKIN: An increasing number of Japanese are questioning the country's past, but for the government the issue is taboo. It remains captive to a nationalist constituency.KINGSTON: It's not like in France or German or in Great Britain where the ultra nationalists basically are out of the mainstream political debate. I mean they are part of the mainstream.SIMKIN: Japan's denial is extraordinary, but so is the overseas reaction. If the German government were to refuse to acknowledge the holocaust, there'd be international outrage. When Tokyo does something similar with Unit 731 though, there's barely a murmur outside Asia. One reason is that the United States did a very dirty deal, a deal that renders its crusade against biological weapons in Iraq, ironic to say the least.Tokyo, 1946 . . . and with the war over, the war crimes trials began. None of Unit 731's leaders were charged with any crime, the Americans saw to that. They wanted this – Japan's warfare data and did a secret deal with General Ishii to get it. With the Cold War under way, Washington was terrified the research would fall into Soviet hands.KINGSTON: I mean this is the first time the people, scientists, could get access to human guinea pigs subjected to various germs and various medical experiments so for the Americans, the offered immunity because they wanted the unique access to all of this data and the Japanese don't want to talk about this rather shaming past so you can understand in a sense how both countries didn't really have any interest and any incentive to deal with this particular aspect.SIMKIN: The leaders of the Unit returned to Japan as heroes. Their careers flourished and a memorial was erected in their honour.WANG XIAN: Most of them have become big shots of medical society in Japan and some of them became presidents of top universities in Japan and the deans of medical schools of top universities in Japan and one even became the chief censor of textbooks with the Ministry of Education.SIMKIN: And so, sixty years after Unit 731 committed its horrific crimes, a Japanese man and a Chinese woman are still fighting – one for justice, the other for redemption.

» Aaron Rents, Inc. Q2 2008 Earnings Call Transcript
I will now turn the call over to Mr. Gil Danielson. Mr. Danielson, you may begin.
Gil Danielson
Thank you for joining us this morning. I am going to turn the call over briefly to Lee Wilder, who does investor relation work for the Company and she will read our standard Safe Harbor Statement and she will turn the call over to Charlie. Charlie will have a few comments and then Ken and then me.
Lee Wilder
Good morning, the Company's earnings release issued yesterday and the related from 8K are available on the Aaron Bruce website www.aaronrents.com in the Investor Relations Section. This webcast will be archived for replay there as well.
With us today are Charlie Loudermilk, CEO, Robert Loudermilk, President, Ken Butler, President of Aaron Sales & Lease Ownership and Gil Danielson, Chief Financial Officer.
Before we discuss the results, I would like to read the Company's Safe Harbor Statement.
Except for the historical information and that is discussed today our forward looking statement of the Company, as such, they will involve a number of risks and uncertainties including factors such as changes in general economic conditions, competition, pricing, customer demands and other issues that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements, including the risks and uncertainties discussed under risk factors in the Company's 2007 annual report on form 10K. Including without limitation the Company's projected revenues, earnings and store openings for future periods.
I will now turn the call over to Charlie Loudermilk.
Charlie Loudermilk
Thank you again for the interest in the Company. I am quite pleased that the first quarter 2008 exceeded our earnings expectation. It seems like the Company is back on track. Our write offs, we have been working very hard on that and it is now down to 2 to 2.5%. The big number that I see in this is that we have a nine cent new store drag last quarter and of course when you reopen 250 stores in about 18 months, we expected a large new store drag. That drag should be less and less each month thereafter because these stores are getting older. As we all know, the first month when a store opens our largest loss. It decreases as time goes on.
The Company is doing very well; I am very pleased that our people have responded to our call for this being the year of the profit; last year was the year of the store openings and this year is the year of the profit. They are responding well and from the Chairman, I can tell you I am pleased.
Ken Butler
Yes, thank you Charlie.
Once again, I want to thank all of our fellow associates, franchisee and vendor partners for their effort not only this last quarter but for the last 18 months. Our people have risen to every challenge that we presented for them and I am very grateful for their efforts.
These past 18 months, we have been going full throttle opening new stores. This past quarter, we saw the beginning of the slow down as we opened 27 new stores.
We also worked with franchisees by acquiring 13 new franchise stores and we sold 11 back to franchisee.
We are looking at areas of the country; we have strong management in looking at areas that we may be weaker and seeing might be better suited to franchise.
We are also looking at every store's performance and we have closed 25 under performing stores during the quarter. We fully absorbed the losses in the quarter associated with these store closings.
The conclusion of this is that we are pulling any leads we may have in the system and will continue to focus on improving profitability. We will continue to do this the next two quarters and allow our management team to strengthen our bench and look to eliminate much of the new store drag we are currently experiencing.
We look to begin a normalized expansion plan at 10 to 12% new store growth in 2009. We are already seeing our bench replenished in our new internet based training we call e-university is showing positive results.
This quarter, we gained a record first quarter 36,000 new customers, which is slightly ahead of our then record customer growth in the first quarter of '07.
In the first week of April, we attained a new milestone by adding our one millionth active customer on lease. Our business in April is ahead of last year and we are optimistic for our growth this quarter with the tax rebates beginning in May.
On the write off side of things, I am real pleased with the quick turn around our team has accomplished by going back to a paper system versus a paperless system and we have immediately posted better operating results in our collection and write off areas.

If your credit card can handle it, there are a few more hours left to get three-day passes to Bumbershoot 2013, the big-ass three-day music and arts festival at the Seattle Center, Aug. 21 to Sept. 2.
This guy has played Bumbershoot.
The lineup isn't out yet. In fact, it'll be a while. But at $90, you're not going out on much of a limb for three days of pop. Buy by midnight tonight -- and use the passcode NOFEESALE -- and you don't have to pay fees either.

What is Quinton wearing? No one knows.
SO sorry for being a little late this week! If you didn't see the notice on the last page on the site, I injured my leg and had to be in and out of the doc (I'm okay but have a bum leg for a few weeks) so we were especially slow. Hopefully we can catch up this weekend and be back on normal schedule. Wish us luck!

I'm making my daughter's Christmas dress (well, starting). Iit has a fully lined bodice which I LOVE, but I'm making the dress with Velvet. The accent fabric is a gold paisley brocade. Should I line the dress with the heavy velvet? I'm worried that it may make for a really thick dress. has anyone ever made a double layer velvet bodice? Or, should I line it with with the accent fabric that may not be the softest in the world? I was thinking maybe something else all together, but that might drive me nuts as far as asthetics go. Here's the accent fabric:
Thanks for your help!!!

or if the default libs and include paths are not the default) :
In a sub directory:
$ mkdir bld
$ cd bld
$ cmake -DBUILD_TEST=1 ..
$ ctest .
Or if you like to build in the source tree:
$ cmake -DBUILD_TEST=1 .
$ ctest .
Add "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG" if you like to have a debug version.
If you like to run the tests against a installed GD library, set the following
environment variables:
export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/path/to/the/gd/include
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/the/gd/lib
then call cmake using:
$ cmake -DUSE_EXT_GD=1 -DBUILD_TEST=1
$ make
and finally:
$ ctest .
I will certainly add a nice CMake option to give prefix later.
What to do if tests fail on your platform and you use the last GD release?
either from your favourite distributions or from http://www.libgd.org or git?
If you use a packaged version of the GD Library (installed from RPM, deb or
ports, gentoo packages or any other packages format or distribution), please try

Collie Buddz ft. Paul Wall - What A Feeling
Reggae's newest rising star, Collie Buddz, teams up with The People's Champ Paul Wall, on the hit What A Feeling from Buddz' upcoming self-titled debut album (in stores July 3.) On this track, Buddz trades his usual energetic sounds for a soft guitar-laced beat perfect for the easy-listening stations. The song is basically an ode to how good it feels to have that special lady in your life, which Buddz describes about in his Bermudian way, and Paul does in his Texan way. With the unique combination of reggae, hip-hop, R&B, and easy listening, look for What A Feeling to be the widest variety of radio stations since Gnarls Barkley's Crazy

The USA women's gymnastics team deserves to have a little fun, wouldn't you say?
They sure think so. In fact, McKayla Maroney showed off her impressive dance moves, as she busted out the Dougie for Jenna Bush on a double-decker bus in London. Luckily, someone caught the action and posted it to Youtube, as seen in the video below.
