Louisville, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - The third-ranked Louisville Cardinals
will hit the hardwood for the first time since winning the national
championship a year ago, opening up their 2013-14 season at home on Saturday
against the College of Charleston Cougars.
Rick Pitino's Cardinals enter the season with a 16-game win streak in tow.
Louisville posted a 35-5 overall record last season, with a 14-4 mark in Big
East play, while winning its third national title in school history with an
82-76 win over Michigan in the championship game. Pitino has some work to do
in replacing a couple of high profile players from that squad, but with
All-American candidate Russ Smith, Final Four MVP Luke Hancock and an always
revolving door of talent, the cupboard is still loaded at Louisville, as it
embarks on its first season in the new American Athletic Conference. It may be
the last as well, as Louisville could be moving to the greener pastures of the
ACC as early as next season.
Doug Wojcik's first campaign with the Cougars was highly successful, as
Charleston closed out its stay in the Southern Conference with a 24-11 overall
record that included a 14-4 mark in league play. The team lost in the SoCon
Tournament title game however, and missed out on the NCAA Tournament, instead
taking part in the 2013 CIT, losing in the first round to George Mason
(78-77). The Cougars are also enjoying a move this season, playing now in the
Colonial Athletic Association.
The Cougars will be playing their first season in the CAA and hope to become a
regular among the league's elite, much like they were in the Southern
Conference. Losing First Team All-league guard Andrew Lawrence (13.5 ppg, 1.4
spg) won't be easy though. CofC does have solid depth, with the next six top
scorers from last year returning, led by junior guard Anthony Stitt (11.0
ppg), who shot just over 40 percent from behind the arc a year ago. Adjehi
Baru (9.8 ppg, 8.3 rpg) gives the team a presence in the paint and has obvious
double-double potential on any given night. A couple of youngsters are hoping
to make an immediate impact on the team as well in freshman guards Joe Chealey
(6-3, 180) and Canyon Barry (6-6, 195). A redshirt freshman, Barry is the
youngest son of NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry.
Despite raising a championship banner prior to the game on Saturday, Pitino
will surely have his Cardinals focused on the task at hand. Smith's decision
to return instead of jumping to the NBA will help lessen the blow caused by
the departures of Peyton Siva and Gorgui Dieng. Smith is an offensive
nightmare for opponents and averaged 18.7 points per game a year ago. Still,
the Cardinals won't exactly be at full strength to start the season, as Chane
Behanan (9.8 ppg, 6.5 rpg) is suspended indefinitely and Hancock (8.1 ppg),
who had one of the best Final Four performances in recent memory, is still a
week or two away from joining the team after suffering an Achilles' tendon
strain in the off-season. Shouldering the workload early on with be Wayne
Blackshear (7.6 ppg), Montrezl Harrell (5.7 ppg) and juco transfer Chris
Jones. The team will also get Kevin Ware back on the floor as he looks to put
a horrific leg injury suffered in the NCAA Tournament behind him.

You'll know it is a special occasion when you get to enjoy a serving of this luscious cheesecake.
Prepare using 1 drained 15-oz. can peaches.

Made this recipe several times since I found it on this webside it's so versatile. Instead of fresh peaches, cuz couldn't find dissent ones at the market, I used canned peaches drained in the 15oz & 8oz size, cuz I like a lot of fruit in my cake, but I've also used canned pineapple chunks drained, but you can really use a lot of different kinds of fruit. I also added cut up chunks of pound cake, for add'l texture, I've used chunks of pound cake inlieu of the graham cracker crust. Truly a winner recipe.
This was awesome. I didn't read ingredients correctly so I only put 1 - 8oz box of cream cheese, 1/2 the sugar and I used special k cereal for the crust. It turned out very light and fluffy with a crispy crust. It was a big hit at the office.

Raley's, union reach agreement | News
WEST SACRAMENTO, CA - On Tuesday, members of Raley's supermarket chain and the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union reached a tentative agreement following a nine-day strike.
"This is very exciting because this contract provides us with the cost savings we need to fund our vision and the initiatives to make us more competitive in the 21st Century," said Mike Teel, of Raley's president. "I greatly appreciate the incredible effort put forth by our employees and company during this time as well as thank the many customers who continued to support us. As one of the last large family-owned grocery chains, it will be great to have everyone back working again."
The UFCW was able to preserve their union-run health plan, one of the main points of contention during the strike.
UFCW 8-Golden State President Jacques Loveall said picket lines would be withdrawn from all Raley's and Nob Hill stores immediately and workers would return to their positions without any effect on their seniority or health care eligibility.
All replacements workers were to be discharged immediately, Loveall said.
Raley's workers went on strike Nov. 4 after ongoing contract talks broke down. At the heart of the disagreement was a proposed two-year wage freeze, elimination of premium pay for Sunday shifts, and health care benefits.
The strike was the first in the grocer's 77-year history.

Pretty cool! I'd like to see where you go with it!
Sup guys and gals.
So I've got a fantasy novel "project" that I've been "working on" for several years; I say "project" and "working on" because in that time all I've managed to accumulate is a pretty big word document of random information and plot ideas, and a folder full of doodles of places, people, and the world in general.
Recently, I got roped into GM a game of Pathfinder for a few noob friends - it's my first time GMing anything, so it's all a little bit daunting, so to make it a bit less so I decided why not make the setting for the game my fantasy world? That way it gives me a setting that I'm at least half familiar with, and it will give me a chance to bash out some more specifics about the geography and towns and such of the world, something I've really neglected until now.
All this means that I am currently reworking my mapwork, hopefully better. None of that for now, though, so here's some dated pictures to give you an idea of the world.
Hune first started life as Byrdia, and Byrdia was a SimCity 4 map. I don't think I ever actually used the map, but this is the major landmass that I've focused on with my "project".
Another outline of the landmass/es, a bit more easy to see than the screenshot.
The furthest I got as far as detail goes; this is the eastern half of the main landmass (which is pretty easily split into two halves, conveniently), which is where the "project" was going to be predominantly set. This shows how long it's been since I've done any "work" on it, Foundation isn't a thing in the "project" anymore. Dawn and Aark are to be the sort of two opposing main powers, with both cities being built on top of and into the side of (respectively) colossal mesa-type things.
Anyway, that's all for now, hopefully I'll get some screens of the new WIP map up in the next couple of days - I'm currently lacking a drawing tablet of any description, so I'm using Illustrator CS5, so I'm not quite getting the amazing hand-drawn look I'd love to have, but it'll all be useful in the end hopefully.
Any crits or feedback on what you see here is welcome and encouraged; I'm a bit janky when it comes to placement of mountain ranges, rivers and the like, but helpfully part of the concept of the "project" is that there was a race of creators who basically messed with the world and did what they want so I can sort of get away with it a little bit
Cheers guys!
Pretty cool! I'd like to see where you go with it!
I absolutely love that this started out as a sim city 4 map! Your rivers don't seem too bad although the swamp area is a little iffy. Usually a swamp would be contained in a single drainage basin and not divided over two. Everything looks very passable though despite you being new to this stuff Were I you, I'd draw that mountain range a little further south east and join it up to those steep cliffs you are going for but that is a matter of taste only lol
Finished Maps: Skenth - Prints Available!
Works in Progress: Arinthia - region of Skenth
Need something commissioned? Send me a message!
Some progress has been made! Evenwood is obviously where the Pathfinder campaign is taking place to begin with, hence the large amount of detail around there, but I'm starting to work out placement of everything else and landmasses and names for stuff and so on, so it doesn't have to be too pretty. I accidentally made the file as large as an Illustrator file can be, so everything is MASSIVE - as a result you can't really read any of the little names and stuff, but oh well. Also nicked Optimus Princeps, which is the font that -Max- uses on his fantastic maps. It's such a nice font.
Ordered a new tablet today, so hopefully I'll be able to start PSing this stuff soon. I hate having to use solid colours. Damn you Illustrator!

Very nice land shape! How big is it? The mountains look cool, but it's hard to tell wether their scale is off if we don't know the map's scale They are obviously a lot smaller than in the original though.
I'm not entirely sure of the scale My current working scale is that small black line to the right of the colour palette, which I've been using as roughly 20-50miles or something thereabouts. It's meant to all be pretty big and dramatic and impressive, so a 50 mile-wide mountain range isn't too far out of what I'm looking for, but I may tweak that a bit
Seems pretty good then! If the black line is 35 miles (the average of 20 and 50), the range is about 175 miles at its widest point, which seems pretty common for the major ranges of Earth when looking on Google maps.

How to Build your own Engine Lift PlateWritten by John McGann on July 19, 2013 Build It, Don't Buy It: Engine Lift Plate
Here's a simple way to save a few bucks. An engine lift plate not only makes it really easy to remove an engine from a car, but you can leave it bolted to the intake while the engine is in storage, preventing junk from dropping into the manifold and providing an easy hook-up for your engine hoist if you need to move the engine around your garage or load it into your truck. You can make several engine lift plates in about the same time it will take to make just one, so if you have more than one engine lying around, make an engine lift plate for all of them.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
We started by tracing the general shape on a piece of 1⁄8-inch mild-steel sheet we purchased from the scrap pile at our local metal-supply shop. We're using a carburetor spacer as a guide, but you could just as easily measure the flange on your intake manifold.We used Miller's 625 X-Treme plasma cutter to cut the engine lift plate shape out, but you can get similar results with a torch, chop saw, or cut-off wheel.Plasma cutters make a very clean cut, so the edges only needed a few passes with a 36-grit sandpaper disc to get cleaned up.We used a stepped drill bit and drilled the holes a little bigger than they needed to be; that way we could be slightly off with the positioning, but the engine lift plate would still fit.Using a chop saw, we cut a piece of 14-gauge square tubing to fit the top of the plate, to which we will weld a loop of square bar that will accept the hook from our engine hoist. We used a length of MIG wire to measure the approximate size of the loop.After cutting the length of square bar, we heated it with an acetylene torch and bent it around a scrap piece of exhaust tubing.After bending it to shape, we cut both legs of the hoop at the same time so they would be square and even with each other.
Here is the square tube fully welded to the baseplate. The next step is to weld the hoop. Note that we beveled the edges of the hoop with a grinding wheel. This way, we can get nearly complete penetration between the hoop and the tube.

WHEELING - The Hurricane boys' soccer program has been known through the years as a defensive-minded outfit, leading the state in goals against for the past three seasons and four of the last six.
This season, things changed a little bit. Mainly with the arrival of Felipe Thompson.
A foreign exchange student from Santiago, Chile, Thompson took the state by storm, scoring 47 goals to go with 11 assists in leading the Redskins to their first state championship.
For his efforts, Thompson was selected as the captain of the West Virginia Class AAA boys' all-state soccer team as selected by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
''He is special,'' Hurricane coach Jim Dagostine said. ''He is so physical and just bullies his way into shots. He's one of the most creative shotmakers I've seen since I've been coaching here.
''He has such a powerful strike and is also a great passer.''

All it took was a few practices and Dagostine knew that after years of relying on defense, it was time to open up the offense.
''We always knew we could do things defensively, but after seeing what he could provide us offensively, we knew we wanted to try and take advantage of that,'' Dagostine said.
After years of coming up short in the playoffs, Hurricane finally broke through with a 2-0 victory against Parkersburg in the championship game.
The title finished off a remarkable run in which the Redskins beat the No. 2-ranked Big Reds in the title tilt, No. 3 Huntington in the regional final, and No. 4 Winfield in the sectional title.
''I don't know if that has ever happened but if there was ever a team that earned the right to be called state champions, it was these guys,'' Dagostine said. ''It wasn't easy.''
Thompson, a senior forward, was held without a goal in the championship game, but luckily for him, he had two teammates that were all-state caliber to back him.
Alex White (midfield, 13 goals, 22 assists) and Evan Miles (defense, six goals, four assists) each scored in the victory.
''(Alex), I thought he had a great state tournament,'' Dagostine said. ''He plays with great pace and great energy. He has tremendous speed and quickness.
''Evan Miles is the kind of guy that every coach, when he's done playing, feels it was an honor to have coached him. He is a fearless competitor and has been a great leader.''
Miles and White are part of a core six players that lost two regular-season games in four seasons. Their final season ended with a 23-0-1 mark.
Thompson is joined at forward by Hunter White of Lewis County, who scored 28 goals (104 for his career) with 14 assists and six hat tricks, and Winfield junior Hunter Sheldon.
Along with Alex White, Huntington's Matt Miller, Woodrow Wilson's Luke Rodriguez, and Wheeling Park's Eric Bonar comprised the midfield.
''Eric is an outstanding midfielder with great passes, shot and dribbling,'' Wheeling Park coach Mario Julian said.
Huntington's Nathan DeMass, Parkersburg's Tyler Broadwater, and Greenbrier East's Jacob Baker are the defenders along with Miles.
Spring Valley's Jared Messer, who made 71 career starts in goal, had a senior campaign that saw him record nine shutouts with 118 saves. He also added four assists.
George Washington junior Garrett Phillips is the other goalkeeper.
The second team consists of goalies Shane Thompson (University) and Chris Orwig (Buckhannon-Upshur); forwards Evan Eich (Nitro), Jameson McCarthy (Huntington), and Tristin Reid (Martinsburg); midfielders Garrett Warner (George Washington), second-team captain Zach Wilcoxen (Parkersburg), Christopher Holland (Spring Valley), and Jacob Kemlock (Oak Hill); and defenders Matt Sumpter (Woodrow Wilson), Geoff Bevil (Nitro), Caleb Barnette (George Washington), and Grant Robertson (Wheeling Park).

Kids' Room Ceiling Fans Add a Playful Touch
Children, much like adults, enjoy a room that is comfortable and an expression of their personalities. Kids ceiling fans keep children comfortable year-round as the play with siblings or friends in a playroom, draw or color during a rainy day, or watch movies during a weekend sleepover. These ceiling fans add a playful touch by creating a unique design element that reflect the kid's interests or hobbies.
See the Craftmade Bloom fan with five multicolored, petal-like blades for young girls and tweens, or our selection of avation-themed ceiling fans are ideal for young boys. Children's fans are available in variety of designs for boys and girls of all ages. For those still kids at heart, we have ceiling fans for you too. Another great ceiling fan is the Craftmade Mia ceiling fan collection.
How to Select Children's Ceiling Fans
Size - Size is the first factor to consider in selecting kids ceiling fans. The fan must be the right measurement to fit and ventilate the room properly. First, measure the length and width of the room. Next, multiply the two values to obtain the room dimensions in square feet. Lastly, based on the dimensions, select a kids fan using the measurements on the right:
Style and Design - After determining the size of the kids fan, choose a design that will reflect the child's personality and style of the room or play area.
Convenience - Healthy kids perspire as they about their activities in the bedroom and playroom. Using a kid's fans is a convenient way to keep them cool and energized. While using a kid's ceiling fan with lighting secures every corner of the room is illuminated for maximum safety during play.
Benefits of Kids Fans
1. Health and Wellness - A kid's fan circulates air to increase airflow and improve air quality, which is beneficial to a child's health. In addition, a ceiling fan cools down a child after an active day and helps to prevent over exhaustion.
2. Energy and Savings - Using ceiling fans regularly can reduce an average electric bill up to 40% off during the summer and 10% off during the winter. Parents with kids prone to leaving the fan or lights on when leaving the room can save with Energy Star-rated ceiling fans for kids, which are 70% more efficient than traditional fans. Look for the Energy Star logo on the packaging.
3. Fun and Expressive - A kid's fan is a great way to display a child's favorite hobby, game, or color. Children's ceiling fans are fun and functional approach to ventilating and decorating a room.

Anybody out there have this? Did I screw up or is it that good? Should be here in a week.
I am especially interested in the reticle, that was the one area of some dissatisfaction.

Looks like Destin McCauley has decided to stay at the OTC and skip college wrestling altogether. That's a big hit to our lineup for next year. Destin was penciled in as an AA at the very least and had a decent shot at being a finalist. And our other likely AA, Spangler, is done with wrestling from concussions. Finch, Beard, Gibson, or Goettl could still AA, but the loss of McCauley will mean a huge decrease in our team standings in March.
With him out who do we have at 149? Mayfield? Or do we try to get Weatherman at 149 and Moreno at 157? I'm sure they were planning on 157/165 so I hope there is time for them to shrink down 8 pounds without losing too much of their strength.

So his decision not only directly loses us an elite wrestler, it also costs us whatever other recruits we didn't go after because we had promised money to Destin.
I blame his girlfriend
When did this news break?
Last night on twitter:
@destined_2begr8: And it's finalized. This is just where my heart is.
I do wish him the best of luck and hope he can win Olympic Gold in 4 years
He wouldn't have been ALL IN. Best of luck to him, though.

I don't really understand this. The next Olympics is four years away. Why not spend a couple of years in college and then train for the Olympics? Maybe this is more common than I realize, but it just seems strange since the NCAA is so lenient for Olympic redshirts.

It isn't very common in Freestyle, though in Greco you'll have guys skip college and go through the Armed Forces athlete program. I think the answer is Henry Cejudo. Cejudo skipped college wrestling and won a gold in Beijing in 2008. So I am sure that Slay and USA Wrestling think that they might have the next Cejudo on their hands. And they've probably spent the last year telling McCauley that.
As you pointed out, the next Olympics is four years away, which is why I am assuming this means he is skipping college wrestling altogether. He doesn't really gain anything by staying at the OTC this year unless he planned on staying until 2016. If he started college wrestling this year he would still have a redshirt available for 2016 after his junior season to focus on Freestyle. So he could get his Olympic shot and then come back for his senior year. But there would be no point in staying this year and then trying to transition to college wrestling.
Iowa State wrestlers were at the OTC this week, I'm not sure if any of the coaches were there other than the Paulsens. A tweet isn't formally withdrawing himself from Iowa State, but I would be surprised if anything changed his mind.

Trent & Travis Paulsen, Jon Reader, Matt Gibson, Cole Shafer, Tanner & Trent Weatherman, Mike Moreno all are out there for OTC training camp. KJ went out a little later. The guys are really training hard and trying to get better.
I think Troy Nickerson stayed back to run practice and I think Troy is then headed to Fargo.
We need to make a big push for Edwin Cooper, I think the negative for Edwin and Iowa State before was Destin and Edwin would both like to be at 149 and Iowa State wanted him to go to 157.
I agree that Edwin Cooper should be a high target but we is redshirting and we wouldn't get him until 13-14
ISU can keep KJ around as long as they want, but this is really the end of his tenure here.

That'll be determined by the results from this year. Even with Destin staying at the OTC there is still an expectation that our young guys will get better and the dual season will be much stronger. A lot is especially riding on Finch, Goettl, and Beard's performances, I think. Since those are three guys that could break through. But a poor dual season and/or zero or one AAs and I can't see any way he is still around next year.
As far as Destin... there is no recruiting season or limitations for USA Wrestling. They put together a bunch of pressure to keep him and that plus a girlfriend was apparently enough. It's also the second time he's decommitted from a program to go to the OTC. I wish him luck, but I think in the long run he'll find he's made a poor decision. He's putting all his eggs in one basket going for Olympic Gold. One injury or mistake and he loses it all. Plus he didn't even qualify for the trials this year.

A collection of photographs of the excavation of the President's House site is now on display in the Independence Visitors Center. But these photos might not be what you'd expect.
Visitors are getting another chance to see the unexpected discoveries found under Independence Mall, at the site of the old President's House, near 6th and Market Streets.
The site was excavated during the late spring and summer of 2007 (see related story), then reburied later that year with a lightly packed layer of soil to preserve the artifacts until a permanent shelter for the area can be built (see related story).
But photographer John Dowell says the new exhibit is also intended to show the hypocrisy in America's history, by showing the site in panoramic views next to important buildings on Independence Mall.
And, Dowell says, he shot most of the photos by night to signify the lack of exposure given to George Washington's enslaved Africans, then and now:
"To me, it was like the evening time is the time when, in my head, the master goes to bed, (the slaves) start doing things and they have some semblance of freedom."
Dowell says the lack of attention given to the slaves of the Founding Fathers makes him angry:
"This information, if given to the right people and better books are written, we can have, instead of a brilliant young black kid running a drug thing, he'll be in a university and be CEO of a bank."
More information is available at independencevisitorcenter.com.

The blinc collection includes mascara formulations that stay in place--period. Whether you rub your eyes, cry or get caught in a rainstorm, the unique formulas found in the range will resist smearing, streaking and running. The incredible staying power of the mascaras is due to their design. Instead of painting the lashes like ordinary mascara, blinc mascara forms tiny tubes of color around them, tubes that will remain in place until you take your makeup off easily and effortlessly. The tubes also better separate each lash and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
In 1999, Blinc was founded to deliver a new type of mascara to women all over the world. The unique formulations that stayed on whether women blinked, rubbed their eyes or cried made Blinc an instant success. Women everywhere were clamoring to try these revolutionary mascara products, and major beauty publications were giving the brand awards for their breakthrough formulas. Today, Blinc remains an innovator in cosmetics and has expanded their product lineup to offer new makeup solutions to help women accentuate and enhance their natural beauty.
Blinc eyeliner products now rival the fame of their remarkable mascaras, and it's easy to see why. Like their lash products, the eyeliners are designed to stay in place despite watery eyes or rubbing the eye area. The liquid liners have uniquely engineered brushes that make it easier to get a perfectly straight, even line.
While many women use eyeliner and mascara on a regular basis, not as many women think about the beauty of their brows. Blinc is out to change that with their line of brow mousse products that help to sculpt and tame the eyebrows for beautiful results. Easy-to-use, these mousses greatly define and darken brows.
With Blinc makeup products, your biggest cosmetics woes will quickly become history. Discover mascara that doesn't run, eyeliner that doesn't smear and brow cosmetics that darken and define without looking unnatural. Shop the Blinc collection today to find the right colors to complete your makeup looks and give you gorgeous eyes.

I'm looking for a solution to trigger an action.
In fact, here is what I want :
- a user create an appointment in his calendar
- the "CreateAppointmentRequest" do the job
- a new service "CreateAppointmentThirdParty" create this appointment via WebService/SOAP in another application.
The difficulty is the way to create this call in Zimbra.
What's the good way to proceed with Zimbra ?

Man women make an enormous amount of effort to keep their skin looking its best but they often miss a vital spot. One of the most neglected areas of the face is the lips. Despite taking a beating from environmental assailants, we often don't give the skin on our mouth the tender loving care it needs to look and feel healthy and beautiful.
Murad Lip Products are specially formulated just for the often neglected mouth area. Because of all of the typical abuse the lips take, they often fall victim to dryness and cracking. In addition to those issues, we often forget to protect our lips when we go out in the sun. We have been told to slather our skin with sunscreen but frequently the mouth goes bare, despite the fact that the lips are very susceptible to burning due to lack of natural sun protection within the lip tissues. Murad Lip Products offer unbeatable protection against the elements as well as softening conditioners that can help to reverse damage. With Murad Lip Products, there is never any reason to neglect the often forgotten area of the face.
Make sure all of your bases are covered when you head out the door in the morning. While you may be used to slathering on moisturizers and sunscreens, you may have missed your mouth. Murad Lip Products are easy to apply and you can throw them into your purse or hand bag for easy touch ups throughout the day.
When searching for products specifically formulated for the lips, look for ingredients that will provide softening and conditioning benefits, reparative properties and protection against the elements. This will get your lips in good shape while helping to prevent further damage which can lead to signs of aging. As the lips age, they can become dry, cracked and irritated due to the natural aging process as well as exposure to natural elements such as ultraviolet rays from the sun.
Murad Energizing Pomegranate Lip Therapy SPF 15 is loaded with antioxidants which help to neutralize and combat the damaging effects of free radicals from the environment as well as internal variables. The formula contains natural pomegranates which are rich in beneficial antioxidants for outstanding protection. This is a conditioning lip treatment that contains shea butter and jojoba oils to soften dry and cracked lips, providing hours of essential moisture. Murad Energizing Pomegranate Lip Therapy SPF 15 also gently exfoliates with salicylic acid. The acid helps to eliminate dull, dead skin cells which can build up on the lips and cause them to look like they are peeling. The smoothing formula can reduce the look of lip lines associated with aging skin. The SPF protection guards against sun damage.

I for one thoroughly enjoyed the puerile mayhem of "Machete"--and yes, I don't text unless I improvise--and I also confess to a lurid fascination with Lohan--who I assume graces (if that's the word) the newest cover of PB--but if that makes me awful then my $$$ to Oxfam today is penance, and should I be Spiros's object of revulsion, then I've arguably paid off my contribution to negative utility.
Now there's a paper--behavioral versus economic utility as indicative of an overall good life.

Get Ready for School @ Your Library
Amidst the pandemonium of back to school shopping, class selection, and worrying about starting a new school year, it is easy forget about all of the resources libraries have to help you get ahead. While the library offers the standard selection of books, movies, music, and computers, many of our libraries also offer many other programs and services that you might not know about. Here is a list of some things you might have overlooked.
In Our Study Rooms
Many of the libraries throughout SMCL offer various forms of after school tutoring. Some of these programs are simple drop-in tutoring sessions where a student can stop by the library after school and get a little help with homework.
Other programs are more structured (with required registration and a minimum attendance), such as the Quest Program at the East Palo Alto Library.
And of course, some libraries simply offer quiet spaces specifically designated for studying all the resources you'll ever need to help yourself to better grades. To find out what your library offers, visit your library's page on this website.
From Our Website
There are many ways the library can help you from home through our website. One such way is the Help Now online tutoring program by Brainfuse. Help Now is an online program that allows you to work with a live-tutor--from home. This tutor can help you out with math, science, writing and much more. Because it's a live person you can ask all kinds of questions and get answers that are suited to your skills and abilities.
Also available from our website are many tutorials and databases that will help you study or do research for your classes. For example, if you're taking a foreign language class you can do a little extra studying with our Mango Languages database. Or, if you need some help with a history project, the website offers access to the History Resource Center databases for both United States and World History. Besides offering access to a multitude of these subject specific sources of information, there are also study guides available to help you get ready for your PSATs, SATs, and high school exit exams.
On Our Shelves
Our libraries offer thousands of books and videos that can help your with your school work. On the shelves you will find books to help you with your state or country reports, California Mission projects, and just about every single research essay you will ever have to write! Some libraries even offer all of this in both English and Spanish.
Behind Our Desks
But how will you find all these books among our expansive and intimidating sets of shelves? Well, behind every library desk sits a trained staff member who can direct you to all of the resources available at your library. In fact, these staff members are trained to research and find information that you might not be able (or know how) to find from the shelves of all 33 libraries in the Peninsula Library System and beyond. They can even teach some new tips or tricks to find what you need online from well-trusted sources that your teacher will love!

Product Details
Ever since we first launched them back in 2010, we've washed each pair of our Stanton shorts for over 300 minutes to get that perfect broken-in feel (so it's as if you've had it forever from day one), then dusted them with pigment to achieve a rich, saturated color.
Size & Fit Details
9" Stanton short in garment-dyed cotton
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 65 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by bb345 Salt the color 'salt' online looks like 'stone', but the shorts are actually yellow. June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chip Different fit I have always purchased the Stanton shorts to wear for work. I usually get 4-5 at time time and have always purchased them in the store but this time I ordered them online from the web site. I love the shorts..... But for some reason the ones I just received from my online purchase are definitely smaller in the waist than all the ones I have purchased in the past. I figured maybe I have put on a few pounds or maybe they need to be washed and that would stretch them out and the answer is no and no. I compared them to the other shorts I own and they are a different fit. I guess maybe a different factory made them with a different specs. The waist and the mid section across the pockets are smaller than the other 10 or so that I own. I will not order online anymore and I hope it was just a fluke. The shorts have served me so well in past and I hope their quality or fit has not changed. May 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JMC88 Perfect Summer Shorts Big fan of these shorts. Definitely get better with time as you wash them they get softer and more comfortable. I would recommend that you size down slightly because the waist tends to stretch a bit once worn. Once you take that into consideration you have the perfect pair of shorts. June 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JSCOTT The BEST Shorts Ever!! It seems like all of the shorts available today have lots of extra fabric in the legs and look like flared leg shorts. The J. Crew Stanton 9" inseam shorts are absolutely perfect. The legs are not what I'd call Slim fit, but they don't have all of the extra fabric that other shorts do. They're not heavy weight, they're well made, the sizing was spot on, they're perfect length for my 5'8" frame and they wash extremely well with minimal fading, if any at all. The Stanton shorts have became my absolute favorite shorts. I now own 4 pair and I expect they'll last quite a long time. July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vanderlyle89 My go-to short I have these shorts in various colors and keep buying more. The legs end just above the knee, the colors are very nice and the fabric is very comfortable and durable. Needles to say I absolutely recommend them! May 20, 2014

Augusta, GA (Sports Network) - Entering the tournament, Bubba Watson's chances
of a Masters repeat were admittedly slim. But a missed cut? That was almost as
The defending champion will at least have a shot at the former after narrowly
avoiding the latter Friday with a late scramble.
Watson was 5-over for the tournament through 14 second-round holes, but he
rebounded with back-to-back birdies to move inside the projected cut line of
After a par on No. 17, the left-hander missed a par putt from inside 10 feet
on the last and his fate was in the hands of leader Jason Day, who was two
groups behind.
Day was 6-under, and a birdie on the last would have pushed Watson outside the
cut line. But the Australian parred the hole and the reigning champ, with a
little help, earned the right to stick around for the weekend.
Watson is a long way from becoming the fourth player to successfully defend
his Masters title, but at least he didn't join the eight former champions who
missed the cut a year after donning the green jacket.
The last defending champ to miss the weekend was Mike Weir in 2004. The others
were Jack Nicklaus (1967), Tommy Aaron (1974), Seve Ballesteros (1981, 1984),
Sandy Lyle (1989), Ben Crenshaw (1996), Nick Faldo (1997) and Jose Maria
Olazabal (2000).
Like Watson, 14-year-old amateur Tianlang Guan was saved by Day's par on No.
Guan, the youngest-ever Masters participant, is 4-over and through to the
third round despite receiving a 1-stroke penalty Friday for slow play. He is
the youngest player to make a cut on the PGA Tour, surpassing Bob Panasik, who
made the cut at the 1957 Canadian Open when he was 15
Day and his three fellow Australians in the field are doing their best to make
their country proud.
Never has an Aussie won the Masters, but Day, Marc Leishman, Adam Scott and
John Senden are poised to eradicate that dubious domestic distinction.
Day turned in the low round Friday at 4-under 68 to grab a 1-stroke lead over
first-round co-leader Leishman (73) and Fred Couples (71). Scott is tied for
seventh at 3-under after a second-round 72 and Senden (70) is knotted with
five others a 2-under.
The drought dates to 1950, when Norman Van Nida carried the Aussie banner for
the first time at the Masters. Day and Scott recently came close, tying for
second in 2011, but the streak lives on.
The last major victory for an Australian came in 2006, when Geoff Ogilvy won
the 2006 U.S. Open.
Rory McIlroy was 2-over for the tournament early in his second round, but the
world No. 2 picked up the pace as the day unfurled and put himself in
favorable position heading into the weekend.
The Northern Irishman was a stalwart off the tee Thursday, but inaccuracy with
his irons led to an opening-round 72. Friday, bogeys on Nos. 1 and 3 had
McIlroy in a hole, but he dug himself out, starting with an eagle on the par-5
eighth, where he reached the green with his second shot from 275 yards away.
Back-to-back birdies starting at No. 13 got McIlroy to 2-under, and after a
bogey in the 16th, the reigning PGA Championship winner dropped his approach
within 10 feet at the last and drilled the putt for another birdie.
"The eighth hole really got me going, really kick started me," said McIlroy,
who is tied for 14th place. "Then I started to hit some really good, quality
shots. I took advantage of a couple of easier holes on the back nine."
McIlroy is coming off a runner-up finish at the Texas Open after starting the
season with a missed cut in Abu Dhabi, a first-round loss at the WGC -
Accenture Match Play Championship and a withdrawal at the Honda Classic.
Despite his recent struggles, the former world No. 1 can make it back-to-back
major victories with a weekend rally.
* Guan was the first player to receive a slow-play penalty in major since
Steve Lowery at the 2004 PGA Championship. In a fitting twist, tournament
referee John Paramor was the man that assessed both penalties.
* Guan was the only amateur to make the cut. Steven Fox (13-over), T.J. Vogel
(8-over) Nathan T. Smith (11-over), Michael Weaver (8-over) and Alan Dunbar
(16-over) finished outside the line.
* The hardest hole of the second round was the par-3 fourth, which played to
an average of 3.41 strokes. The hardest overall hole thus far has been the
par-4 first, which has played to an average of 4.33 strokes through two
* The easiest hole of the second round was the par-5 eighth, which played to
an average of 4.72 strokes. The easiest overall hole thus far has been the
par-5 15th, which has played to an average of 4.64 strokes through two rounds.

Innovative and proven VMready "sees" virtual machines (VMs) as they move from server to server, protecting virtual machines by automatically synchronizing network policies among switches and hypervisors. With the Virtual Vision central policy database, VMready provides a single point of management for VM traffic and security across an entire data center with hundreds of servers and thousands of VMs, all designed for easy transition to emerging IEEE 802.1Qbg standards.
- Next Generation Data Center Networking: RackSwitch G8264 supports the DCB/CEE standards for converged data center networks for FCoE, iSCSI or NAS, IBM Virtual Fabric for flexible vNIC connectivity, HotLinks and Layer 2 failover and standard Layer 2/3 features including stacking, IP PIM multicast, dynamic routing and spanning tree.
- Congestion Prevention: Because network traffic between highly virtualized multi-core servers generates large amounts of server-to-server network traffic, virtualized servers need congestion notifications much earlier than enabled by conventional switches. IBM RackSwitch G8264 incorporates Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) and Weighed Random Early Detection (WRED), which control packet flow from servers to avoid large saw-tooth fluctuations in network throughput that can slow application performance.

Shutdown ends, homeless sue county, Requiem makes demands in battle for Emery Theatre
Early voting for the 2013 City Council and mayoral elections is now underway. Find your voting location here. Normal voting hours will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., although some days will be extended. Congress last night voted to end a partial government shutdown that lasted for more than two weeks and avoid defaulting on the nation's debt. In the end, House Republicans, including Speaker John Boehner and local Reps. Steve Chabot and Brad Wenstrup, got less than nothing for their threats of default and shutdown: Obamacare wasn't repealed or delayed, taxes weren't cut and federal spending remained flat. Instead, Republicans were left with the worst polling results Gallup measured for either political party since it began asking the question in 1992. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats got the clean budget and debt ceiling bills they were asking for all along. But the funding measures only last until Jan. 15 and the debt ceiling increase remains until Feb. 7, leaving some groups on both sides of the aisle to ask whether the dramatic showdown will happen all over again in a few months. Four local homeless sued Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil over his attempts to evict homeless people sleeping at the courthouse and Hamilton County Justice Center with the threat of jail time. Homeless advocates argue the policy punishes homeless people for being homeless; they say the county should focus on creating jobs and housing opportunities, not arresting people who are just trying to find a safe spot to sleep. But the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office says it's addressing a public health issue; Major Charmaine McGuffey, head of the Hamilton County Justice Department, says that every morning county officials are forced to clean up urine and feces left by the homeless the night before, and often the county doesn't have the resources to completely disinfect the areas. In the ongoing legal battle for the Emery Theatre, the Requiem Project amended its lawsuit against the University of Cincinnati and lessees and asked the courts to remove UC from ownership of the building. Requiem argues UC has failed to live up to the goals of Mary Emery's charitable trust by allowing the building to fall into disrepair and non-use over the years. Courts originally approved the development of apartments in the building as long as the profits went toward renovating the theater, but after 14 years apartment operators say there are multiple mortgages on the property and no profits. The trial is scheduled for February. Commentary: "Governor Finally Accepts Federal Funds." Now in print: Mayoral candidate John Cranley, who's running for mayor against fellow Democrat and Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, rejected support from the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), and the conservative organization's history of anti-LGBT causes helps explain why. Qualls scored higher across the board than Cranley in the scorecard released today by the African-American Chamber of Commerce. Gene Beaupre, a political science professor at Xavier University, previously told CityBeat that the black vote will likely decide the mayoral election. Council candidates Charlie Winburn, P.G. Sittenfeld, Vanessa White, Yvette Simpson, David Mann and Pam Thomas also topped the scorecard. Ohio House Republicans may sue Gov. John Kasich for his decision to bypass the legislature and instead get approval from a seven-member legislative panel for the federally funded Medicaid expansion, which would use Obamacare dollars to extend eligibility for the government-run health insurance program to more low-income Ohioans for at least two years. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio previously found the expansion would generate $1.8 billion for the state and insure nearly half a million Ohioans over the next decade. CityBeat covered Kasich's decision in further detail here. Meanwhile, the Ohio House and Senate are debating three different ways to approach an overhaul of Medicaid and bring the program's costs down. State Rep. Barbara Sears' bill pushes for a swathe of reforms and cost controls, while State Rep. John Becker's bill aims to significantly weaken the program to the absolute minimums required by the federal government. Becker's proposal would likely leave hundreds of thousands of low-income Ohioans without health insurance. Speaking in Cincinnati yesterday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the federal government is working to correct the many errors plaguing Obamacare's online marketplaces. The glitches and traffic overload have made HealthCare.gov, which acts as Obamacare's shopping portal for Ohio and 35 other states, practically unusable for most Americans since the website launched on Oct. 1. Ohio's prison agency reassigned the warden and second-in-command at the Correctional Reception Center weeks after Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro was found dead in his cell. A 20-year-old woman is expected to recover after her car crashed into a Winton Hills building while she overdosed on heroin, according to Cincinnati police. Cincinnati is the only Ohio city to make Livability.com's top 100 places to live. Headline: "Bad sperm? Drop the bacon."

Requiem Project Wants UC to Give Up Emery Building
Nonprofit says UC and lessees have failed their charitable purpose
When Mary Emery donated the money to build the Ohio Mechanics' Institute in 1908, she stipulated that the building would contain an assembly hall available to the public. Her charitable trust has been tasked with ensuring that The Emery Theatre, located in the basement of the building at the corner of Walnut Street and Central Parkway in Over-the-Rhine, is used for public performances ever since. The Requiem Project, a nonprofit organization formed in 2008 to oversee programming and raise money to renovate the century-old theater, says that's exactly where the University of Cincinnati has failed to fulfill the requirements of overseeing the property, and it is asking the Court of Common Pleas to remove UC from ownership of the building. The Requiem Project yesterday filed an amendment to its lawsuit against UC and lessees of the property housing the Emery Theatre, arguing that UC and the organizations operating the building have systematically failed their charitable purpose by allowing the theater to fall into disrepair after non-use for so many years. The suit asks the court to award the Requiem Project the lease under which another nonprofit, the Emery Center Corp. (ECC), is currently operating the theater via a series of subleases from UC. If UC is removed as owner, the building could be overseen by the city or another nonprofit organization and Requiem could sublease from it. UC assumed control of the building in the 1970s but needed permission to renovate most of it into apartments because of the charitable trust's requirement that the building continue to serve the community. A 1999 court ruling allowed the development but required all profits to be used to renovate the Emery Theatre. Fourteen years later, the apartment operators say there are multiple mortgages on the property and no profits. "The Court should remove UC as owner and trustee of the property, as UC has proved itself an unfit custodian," the complaint states. The complaint includes photos of various rundown areas inside the theater with captions such as, "Closed-off bathrooms. UC's 'saving' The Emery" and "UC's standard of fiduciary 'care.'" CityBeat covered the original lawsuit in August here. The complaint accuses UC, ECC and Emery Center Apartments Limited Partnership (ECALP) — the for-profit company that oversees the building's apartments — of conspiring to breach a 2010 letter of intent that stated ECC would sublease the theater to Requiem on the same terms as ECC is currently operating the theater. Requiem says the binding letter of intent is still valid and gives its organizers the right to a long-term lease that will allow them to raise money while operating the theater. The Requiem's cofounders, Tina Manchise and Tara Gordon, maintain in their lawsuit that the ECC and UC are purposely blocking the Requiem from moving forward with their original plan to incrementally update the 1,600-seat theater and allow programming to continue during the process. After signing the letter of intent in 2010, the Requiem Project temporarily opened the Emery Theatre in 2011 to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Mary Emery's dedication of the theater and to reintroduce the public to the long-overlooked resource — the theater was modeled after Carnegie Hall in New York City and is considered "acoustically pure." It was the home of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra from 1912-36 and has hosted the likes of Eleanor Roosevelt and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Although UC owns the building, it subleases the building to ECALP, which subleases the Emery Theatre to ECC. When contacted by CityBeat in August, UC spokesperson Greg Hand declined to comment, only stating that UC doesn't have a relationship with the Requiem Project because its only relationship is with ECALP. ECC informed Requiem in January that it would not renew its management agreement "for no cause," according to the lawsuit, and then asked Requiem to vacate the building in August. The complaint also seeks damages related to money Requiem has invested in the theater and losses caused by the August eviction. It is schedule for trial in February.

Outsiders back pension reform, Requiem could be evicted, JobsOhio conflicted in interests
Local and national tea party groups are pushing a ballot initiative that would privatize Cincinnati's pension system by moving city workers from a public plan to 401k-style plans, but city officials and unions are urging voters to reject the measure because they claim it would raise costs for the city and reduce gains for retirees. Cincinnati for Pension Reform paid Arno Petition Consultants nearly $70,000 to gather enough signatures to get the initiative on the ballot. It's so far unclear where that money came from. Virginia-based Liberty Initiative Fund, which is supporting a similar pension proposal in Tucson, Ariz., is backing the Cincinnati effort, with one of two blog posts on its website praising the local initiative. Liberty Initiative Fund has given at least $81,000 to the Tucson campaign. For more information about the Cincinnati campaign and initiative, click here. Hamilton County Judge Carl Stitch on Wednesday ruled against granting a temporary restraining order that would prevent the trio that owns and leases the Emery Theatre from evicting the nonprofit seeking to renovate the building. The ruling means Requiem Project, which was founded in 2008 to renovate the theater, might be kicked out by the University of Cincinnati, Emery Center Apartments Limited Partnership (ECALP) and the Emery Center Corporation (ECC), the groups that own and lease the Emery Theatre. Still, the judge said that the ruling should in no way indicate what the final outcome of the case will be and it could turn out that Requiem deserves a long-term lease. Gov. John Kasich received campaign donations from and served on the board of Worthington Industries, a central Ohio steel processor, before the company got tax credits from JobsOhio, the privatized development agency. Kasich's spokesperson told the Associated Press that the governor severed ties with Worthington before the tax deals were approved. Still, the latest discovery adds to a series of conflicts of interest that have mired JobsOhio in the past few weeks. Previously, Dayton Daily News found that most of the board members on JobsOhio had direct financial ties to some of the companies getting state aid. Republicans defend JobsOhio because they say its privatized and secretive nature allows it to carry out job-creating development deals more quickly, but Democrats say the agency is too difficult to hold accountable and might be wasting taxpayer money. Commentary: "Disparity Study Now." State officials are looking to tighten limits for local governments passing budgets, issuing debt and funding pensions. State Rep. Lou Terhar, a Republican from Cincinnati, and State Auditor Dave Yost say the proposal is aimed at correcting pension problems such as the one in Cincinnati, which Yost labeled "Pension-zilla." Cincinnati's unfunded pension liability currently stands at $862 million, which earned the city a downgraded bond rating from Moody's in a July 15 report. A task force convened by Ohio Supreme Court Justice Maureen O'Connor is set to meet again to discuss possible changes to the state's death penalty. The panel recently proposed eliminating the use of capital punishment in cases in which an aggravated murder was committed during a burglary, robbery or rape. A record number of white women, many from rural areas, are being sent to Ohio prisons, according to a report from the Sentencing Project, a Washington, D.C., think tank. Two City Council candidates are struggling to get their names on the ballot because of a couple different circumstances. Newcomer Mike Moroski fell 46 petition signatures short of the requirement of 500 signatures that have to be turned in by Aug. 22. Meanwhile, hundreds of Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld's petitions might be thrown out because several dates were corrected by crossing them out and writing the accurate date on the back of the forms. The Hamilton County Board of Elections says it's unclear whether it can accept those signatures. Both candidates are now renewing their petition drives to ensure they appear on the Nov. 5 ballot. Candace Klein is resigning as CEO of SoMoLend, the embattled local startup that previously partnered with the city of Cincinnati to link local businesses to up to $400,000 in loans. City officials announced Monday they were severing ties with SoMoLend after it was revealed that the Ohio Division of Securities is accusing the company of fraud because SoMoLend allegedly failed to get the proper licenses and exaggerated its financial and performance figures. SoMoLend's specialty is supposed to be using crowdfunding tactics to connect small businesses and startups with lenders, but the charges have called its expertise into question. Metro, the city's bus system, turns 40 today, and it plans to hold a party on Fountain Square from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in celebration. Activist hedge fund manager Bill Ackman sold a majority of his Procter & Gamble stocks. Popular Science has the list of the 10 weirdest robots at this year's drone show here.

Requiem Could Be Evicted from Emery Theatre Following Ruling
Judge says case is too early to call either way but refuses to grant restraining order
Hamilton County Judge Carl Stitch today ruled against granting a temporary restraining order that would prevent the trio that owns and leases the Emery Theatre from evicting the nonprofit seeking to renovate the building. The ruling comes as a minor victory to the University of Cincinnati, Emery Center Apartments Limited Partnership (ECALP) and the Emery Center Corporation (ECC), the groups that own and lease the Emery Theatre, and a loss to the Requiem Project, the nonprofit formed in 2008 to restore the theater to its former glory. Still, Stitch cautioned that both sides potentially have a case and the rejection shouldn't be seen as indicative of who will ultimately win the legal battle. Given the ruling, both sides agreed to come back to the judge in 30 days with a status report on what their legal intentions are going forward. Requiem argued that it needs the temporary restraining order to continue with the momentum the organization has built to renovate the theater. The nonprofit says it needs a permanent lease to use and raise funds that would go toward restoring the theater, which is cited as one of the few "acoustically pure" complexes in the nation. On the other side, the various groups that own and lease the Emery Theatre claimed Requiem has shown little progress in raising funds to renovate the building. They said they would still like to see the theater restored, but not under the management of Requiem. UC also continued denying any direct involvement in the case, instead arguing that ECALP handles the Emery building in its entirety for the university. Tina Manchise and Tara Gordon, the two women who founded Requiem, said after the hearing that the three organizations are trying to eschew responsibility by pointing fingers at each other. In particular, they pointed out that UC has consistently claimed a lack of culpability, yet it's also getting involved by asking the city to take over the building. Last week, emails revealed that UC is offering to give the Emery Theatre to the city. UC Vice President of Governmental Relations Greg Vehr wrote in a June 21 email to Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan that giving the building away would allow the university to avoid becoming "a lightning rod in the private dispute between (ECC and ECALP) and the Requiem Project." If the city takes over the building, the legal dispute would likely become unnecessary and Requiem would probably be allowed to carry on with its plans. For an in-depth look at the situation and history between Requiem and UC, ECALP and ECC, check out CityBeat's original coverage here.

FirstEnergy fined $43 million, worrisome child poverty rates in Hamilton County child poverty, Cleveland altweekly strikes a beer ransom
Ohio energy provider FirstEnergy, who last June won a bid to provide Cincinnati with "100 percent green" aggregated energy, was fined $43.3 million yesterday by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio for grossly overcharging its customers for renewable energy credits, or RECs. The issue dealt with FirstEnergy's overcharging of customers across Northern Ohio from 2009-2011, so new FirstEnergy customers in Cincinnati are unaffected. A Cincinnati spine doctor, Abubakar Atiq Durrani, accused of performing millions of dollars worth of unnecessary surgery on unsuspecting patients was indicted yesterday for five counts of health-care fraud and five counts of making false health-care claims. Staff members of the Cleveland Scene yesterday snatched up the Twitter handle @PlainDealer after the Cleveland daily accidentally forgot to claim/reclaim it along with @ThePlainDealer. The Scene earned a delivered case of Great Lakes' Oktoberfest and a six-pack of PBR in ransom. Hamilton Country fares worse than Ohio overall when it comes to the economic well-being, health, education and safety of our children, according to a report released Aug. 7 by the Children's Defense Fund and Annie E. Casey Foundation. Although median income is higher in Hamilton County than the statewide median, our rates are worse in child povery, fourth-grade reading and math proficiency, felony convictions and the amount of babies with low birth weights, an early sign of bad health. If you don't have anything nice to say about living in North Korea, you will get stuck working in a coal mine. Last week popular stand-up comedian Lee Choon Hong was sentenced to an indefinite period of hard labor in a COAL MINE after she told a bad joke that "satirized" aspects of North Korean society. She was apparently yanked off statge in the middle of her performance and sent straight to the mine without the chance to say goodbye to her family. This week in news: The historic building that houses the Emery Theatre is threatened by controversy between the owners of the building, the two organizations that run it and the nonprofit group The Requiem Project, who was billed in 2008 to program the theatre and raise money for the its renovation. Last week the Requiem Project sued the University of Cincinnati, which owns the building, Emery Center Corporation and Emery Center Apartments Limited Partnership (ECALP), for violating a "letter of intent" and attempting to forcefully evict Requiem from the building, although its leaders, Tara Gordon and Tina Manchise, say they've never been told why they've been "backed into a corner."A public housing project in Paris is the subject of an experimental heating project through which the warmth generated by human bodies milling around a nearby Metro station will be used to heat the building.

Welcome and wellmet!
What a great forum. I'm pleased to be here.
I'm an indie author of fantasy fiction. I'm getting my debut novel ready for release this month, and I want to add a couple fantasy world maps (one "big view" of the entire fantasy world, and a detailed map of the town where the story takes place). I've become familiar with GIMP in the past few months while creating the book cover, and I plan to use GIMP to create my fantasy maps.
I've looked at some of the tutorials here at Cartography Guild, and there's a couple that suit my needs--they are a lifesaver!
Best regards,
Welcome and wellmet!
Welcome aboard and enjoy your stay. There is so much to learn.

Brushes are simply the best tools for applying any cosmetic, whether a wet or dry product, including makeup around the eyes. When you use a well-made cosmetics brush, your eye shadows, liners and brow makeup go on smoother, plus you can blend colors more effectively and define more accurately. There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a brush. First, be sure the size of the brush corresponds to the area where you want to apply makeup.
When working with powdered eye shadow, use a soft or contoured brush, or a combination of both, for applying and blending your eye color. These brush types work well when applying shadow to the upper and lower lid, as well as for contouring and defining the eye's natural crease.
Choose a smaller, thinner, stiffer brush to smooth, separate and define your lashes and brows. To apply eye liner, you'll need a finely pointed brush for optimal precision. Some brushes are available double-sided, with brushes of differing size and style on either end of the brush handle. You'll also find bristles available in both natural and synthetic form.
