Doctor Who star Matt Smith is going from time lord to rhyme lord - by introducing poetry to a new generation.
The actor is to narrate a children's TV show designed to encourage the joys of literacy in youngsters.
Other names recruited for readings on Disney Junior's A Poem Is include Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams and Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery.
Smith, currently filming a third series as The Doctor for BBC1, will read Jack Prelutsky's Once They All Believed In Dragons.
He said: "I've always had an enthusiasm for poetry and creative writing, having studied it at university, and as an actor it is so vital to my art to have an understanding and appreciation for classic literature."
He will take part in the second series of A Poem Is, along with Twenty Twelve star Jessica Hynes and veteran actor Richard Briers. Their words will be set to scenes from classic animations.
Smith said the series offered "a whole new generation of young minds a way of learning and sharing poetry, and the fact that it's set to some of the most iconic Disney animations just makes the whole experience so enjoyable".
The series begins on 30 April on Disney Junior UK at 5.25pm.

Fine-textured skin with a thin epidermis is often referred to as "sensitive skin." Although sensitive skin can be quite beautiful, it can also be prone to dehydration and damage. Treating this particular condition is the purpose of Pevonia Botanica Sensitive Skin. The characteristics that sensitive skin usually features are fine blood vessels that lay close to the surface and a tendency towards dryness, redness and irritation. This type of skin has an insufficient keratinous layer and an unbalanced hydro-lipid film (called an alipid condition), with surface defenses that are easily irritated by environmental contamination, sunlight and quick changes in temperature.
Pevonia Botanica Sensitive Skin treats the erratic oil production of sensitive skin, rehydrating it when it experiences dryness, repairing and rejuvenating damaged skin cells and protecting it from further environmental assault. All skin should be treated with care, of course, but sensitive skin is particularly prone to damage and must be restored gingerly, but effectively. Through the use of propolis extract, azulene and botanical oils and extracts, Pevonia Botanica Sensitive Skin is able to treat sensitive skin expertly without harsh chemicals.
With a carefully balanced combination of ingredients, Pevonia Botanica Sensitive Skin treats your skin simply but effectively.
As with any skin treatment, begin with cleaning. Pevonia Sensitive Skin Cleanser uses linden flower extract, distilled from the linden tree (Tilea cordata), which acts as a mild but effective astringent, and safflower seed oil, which is similar to the natural limpid components in human skin, to relieve dryness.
Cleaned and prepared, the skin is ready to accept a few drops of Pevonia Soothing Propolis Concentrate. Propolis, an exciting ingredient used in advanced skin care products, is derived from honeycomb, created by bees from sap on the bark and buds of conifer trees. Composed of a combination of balsam, beeswax, bee pollen and aromatic oils, it is antiseptic, antibiotic and antibacterial. Pevonia Soothing Sensitive Skin Cream also includes safflower seed oil and propolis, but adds allantoin (derived from the comfrey plant), aloe leaf gel and sorbitol for moisturization and hazel nut oil for cell regeneration and strengthening circulation.
An application of Pevonia Sensitive Skin Lotion provides the soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits of azulene (an extract distilled from chamomile flowers), French rose oil to repair skin cells and horse chestnut extract to help blood circulation. Before sleep, a ten-minute treatment of Pevonia Soothing Sensitive Skin Mask allows shea butter, a natural emollient made from the nuts of the African karite tree, and other ingredients to clean and nourish your skin. Follow with a few drops of Pevonia Face Oil – Sensitive, with botanical essential oils and vitamin E.

Sweet and Salty Goodness
I'm a sucker for sweet and salty combos and these replaced my typical Natures Own granola bars. I don't get them all the time since the $/lb is higher than most bars, but they taste fantastic. You wont get the same energy boost as a Clif bar for calorie replacement, but they are fairly high in protein and are a nice treat.
Sooo yummy!
I love mojo bars, and a mojo dipped in chocolate..best thing ever! 200 calories and 8 grams of protein is a great trail snack. These bars are not quite filling like normal Cliff bars, I personally love the lighter snack when on the trail. I love the taste, the pretzels are a perfect touch! These are a solid buy! These can get melty if in warmer conditions, no good for the dessert!
Clif Mojo Dipped Choco/Peanut Bar Rocks!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is my favorite trail bar. It has a really good blend of taste, texture, protein and calories. I do a lot of alpine backpack trips and am always trying to tweak my gear and supplies. To that end, I made a spreadsheet of trail bars to compare calories, protein and weight. My most important consideration, in addition to taste: maximum calories packed at minimum weight. The Mojo Dipped came in at 126 cals/oz (5th best out of 21 tested). Bar weighs 1.6 oz and has 8 grams of protein. Recommended.
Gratuitous 2010 pic shows a Clif Mojo in my pack's belt pocket (for quick access) in Colorado's Comanche Wilderness.
mojo means mo' go
These are pretty tasty. Wether at work or on the trail, they are the right size for a quick pick me up snack anytime. They do get melty, however, so don't keep them in your pant's pocket. Otherwise, they're great for when you don't need a whole clif bar.
Good Energy
Seems to last longer than a typical snack. The first bite has a slightly rancid taste like peanuts beginning to turn... very very slight but then by bite two or three it is gone. Perhaps I got some old stock that needed to be rotated. It would not stop me from eating these or buying again.
Peanut Butter Pretzel!
These are delicious, but kinda fragile for backpacking or hiking (breakage and melting), so I use them in my desk drawer at work or keep them around the house, the car, wherever, for when I need a snack or light meal. The flavors are all pretty good, with the Peanut Butter Pretzel (not a "dipped" variety) being my favorite...
Really Delicious and good for you too!!!
O.K. I'm a sucker for these dipped bars. If your out and active all day, plastered to the side of some huge, heinous, horrorshow of a climb, it's really hard to eat enough food, but if you have something that sounds delicious even when your stomach is nervously churning, then it's all going to be o.k. I actually like that they are a bit smaller than the classic clif bar, which can be a bit filling on the side of a wall!!
Whole Oat Free!
While I love whole oats I am allergic. Mojo Bars thankfully have none! This is is tough find in the world of bars. Mojo Bars are tasty and go down easily with a swig of universal solvent.
The best
The fruit and nut mojo bars are good, real good.
The best.
pretty good
pretty good but not super tremendous
will buy a different flavor/variety next time
Tasty Treat
Pretty darn tasty any time of the day. Maybe not quite as filling as a regular cliff bar, but not at "horsefoodey" either
Review Title
I use all the Clif Bar products for recovery after cycling, running and the gym. No so useful for energy during a long run, as they require a lot of chewing and can be kind of heavy in the stomach, but not chalky like the old recovery products of the past. Packed with lot's of carbs and protein and all organic so they are good for you! Best product out there!
sooo good
Probably one of the best granola bar I've ever had. They used to have a peanut butter and jelly flavor that was surprisingly spectacular but the fruit & nut is pretty good too.
love 'em
These are greatly satisfying after a good mtb ride. They're kinda salty though, so if you have it just as a snack you might keep that in mind.

Is 31 too old to get a new tattoo? I think that's ridiculous, but the majority of people in a new survey say it's the cutoff point. Here's a list of the other "cutoff ages" for stuff everyone does:
LOL! This guy found himself stuck at the airport in Las Vegas with nothing to do. So, he decided to make a video....and this is pretty funny. LOL! Not that I'd wish a long layover on anyone, but I kind of hope it happens to him again, so we can see a sequel. Ha!

Researchers say they know the 10 most effective words you can use in your dating profile. How would they know? They did a big project, analyzing thousands of eHarmony profiles. People that got the most dates used a lot of the same words. These lists are slightly different for men and women, but feel free to try 'em out and see how they work for you:
Have you seen the surveillance video of the teacher who roughed up a 6 year old boy....at one point, grabbing his face? Wow....it's hard to watch. the teacher got a 10 day suspension. Do you think the punsihment is enough?

Matt Dunford calls himself "Britain's Vainest Man" because he spends nearly $17,000 a year on his looks (eyelash tinting, spray tans, etc). He says it's worth it, as he gets a lot of random job offers and big tips as a stripper. Ok....as much as this guy makes me laugh at his cluelessness, he did get me thinking and mentally adding up all the money I spend in a year on looking good....some of it a COMPLETE waste. LOL! I definitely waste too much money there. How much do you think you spend on your looks in a year?
I have to say, I don't blame this kid. If I were on a hike and saw an adorable squirrel just sitting there, I'd probably want a selfie with it, too. Well, now I know better! Yikes! Check out the video to see what happens......when selfies go wrong!
I wondered who Nirvana would get to step in for Kurt Cobain when they did their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction performance. Never, in a million years, would I have guessed they would choose Lorde.....but....in a strange way, it works.
p.s. I miss Kurt. RIP
Yes, it's a real thing and it should be ready for your next "Walking Dead" viewing party. It's made by a brewery in Philadelphia.....with smoked goat brains as one of the ingredients.
Here's how they describe the flavor: "Fuggle hops provide delicate, earthy notes, while the cranberries create a sinister, bloody hue, and a slight tartness. The pre-sparge-brain-addition provided this beer with intriguing, subtle smoke notes. In true walker fashion, don't be surprised is its head doesn't hang around forever."
This wedding party put a LOT of work into this.....and it is AWESOME!

I have a client using our Zimbra server which is in our data centre. Currently they have a Microsoft file server in their office and use Outlook on their desktop. On their individual PC's they're synchronizing their contacts and calendars in Outlook with a few programs including Simply Accounting and Timberline etc. What they're missing is the ability to sync the calandars with one-another and to the webmail users.
So, in a nutshell:
1. they want to be able to sync calendars, mail, files, tasklists and most importantly contacts with anyone/everyone in their organization.
2. most of the staff want to continue using Outlook as their email/collaboration client.
3. they want synchronization between other software like Simply Accounting.
4. they want to sync to their mobile devices.
At the moment they are not using the outlook connector so they're not syncing anything from Zimbra to Outlook other than email using IMAP.
I'm not sure how to approach this. Can programs like Simply Accounting sync their data directly to a remote Zimbra server? Once the data is on the remote server I would imagine it's just a case of sharing the contact lists etc. with their staff, and having each staff using the Outlook Connector to sync from zimbra to Outlook on their desktop?

Anyone know when the new MRS section will get posted online? I'm eager to look through the Colorado info.
I think it already is. Let me make sure...I guess it's not up there yet. But after I talked to the web guys, it will be up there by the end of the day. Sorry about that.

Eastmans' Hunting Journals
Thanks, Guy.
In the MRS for Colorado, it says that we can go to the Eastman's site and find additional info and charts. Where do we find that online?
I can't find the additional info yet either...
They didn't have any information on archery & muzzleloader deer in magazine.
I am also looking for the additional information referenced in the Colorado MRS. Assistance in finding it would be appreciated.
It would be great if the Colorado MRS included more information that would be useful in choosing a second choice for Colorado. I'm guessing that many others are caught in the point creep like I am and would appreciate help in finding a decent hunt option with a good chance of being drawn. Thanks for the valuable information is there!
You can find the archery and muzzleloader info by accessing the MRS at eastmans.com, log-in and download the EBJ 64 MRS.
I recognized long ago that if I have a warehouse full of guns, but no public land or public wildlife, I have nothing!

These lollipops looked good but didn't taste good, they lacked in chocolate flavor. I didn't have a problem with them spreading out as they cooked.
I have made this recipe several times without any problems. I found the recipe on the back of the Bakers chocolate box and it calls for the same ingredients but with 1/2 cup more flour and one inch balls. They are best if you let them cook for the 8 minutes even if they don't look completely done. I have always floured my hands to roll the balls. They are a little messy but it is a very easy recipe with ingredients that I always have around. My 6 year old helped me make them last year and we will do the same this year. I think we will stick to the cookies instead of the pops but use the decorating idea.

Over at Uncouth Ruminations, Carl Wicklander has some excellent commentary from a libertarian perspective on Glenn Beck's meteoric rise in the conservative movement:
But it's still quite precarious that Glenn Beck has shed his more odious positions once the Republicans were thoroughly repudiated. His antics are a bit annoying, bordering on bad soap opera acting, but he still displays better independence than his more unoriginal talk radio colleagues.
So, is Glenn Beck healthy for the Right? Maybe, maybe not. Is he part of the solution or is he part of the problem? If he's part of the problem, he's far less of it than Rush, Hannity, Levin or Coulter.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Bucks accomplished something on
Thursday they hadn't since Ronald Reagan was in the Oval Office.
Monta Ellis scored a game-high 24 points and the Bucks used a late run in the
fourth quarter to beat the Suns in Phoenix, 98-94, for the first time since
Feb. 21, 1987.
Larry Sanders had a career-high 19 points with 15 rebounds and recorded two
big blocks during the Bucks' game-sealing 10-0 run. Brandon Jennings and Mike
Dunleavy each netted 16 points in Milwaukee's fourth win in six games.
The Suns had won 24 straight at the hosts in this series, including all 19
contests at US Airways Center, which opened in 1992.
Shannon Brown paced Phoenix, which has dropped four straight at home for the
first time since March 2004, with 20 points, while Luis Scola added 16 points
and eight boards in defeat.

Marco Rubio: Actual Age Of Earth Is 'One Of The Great Mysteries'
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) isn't qualified to answer a question about how old the earth is, he told GQ in a recent interview.
"I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States," Rubio told GQ's Michael Hainey. "I don't think I'm qualified to answer a question like that. At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all."
Rubio continued, refusing to take a stance on the planet's age, which scientists have long estimated at 4.54 billion years.
"Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that," he said. "It's one of the great mysteries."

"I'm running for POTUS 2016 for Pete's sake. If I answer that question truthfully, I would lose half my base! And NO, mankind did not evolve."
Then he tries to cover himself.

Its only a mystery if you think geologists, physicists, astro physicists etc........and mathematicians have it all wrong.
Its obvious, the GOP have learned NOTHING from the last election.

Ask the Architect
Do we need flood insurance?
1 2 Next page >
Q. We're trying to figure out if we are in a flood zone. We weren't flooded, nor do we have flood insurance, but the water stopped only a block away. How do we find out if we're in a flood zone, whether we were supposed to have flood insurance and whether we will need to lift our house? If we need to, how high do we raise it?
Determining whether you need flood insurance from the map is only part of the answer. Also contact your home insurance company, although you may need to prepare for the answer you may have been hoping to avoid. Some companies are asking for flood coverage even for homeowners near a flood zone but not in one.
Years ago, a friend made a wise suggestion that the best insurance, if you can afford it, is to insure yourself (which most of us can never afford, of course) along with your bank-required insurance payment. He also didn't do it, although if you can set aside money with self-discipline, you can avoid the disaster now besetting so many who are discovering that they paid into a system that will not pay them back for the crisis they expected to be covered for.

Cab Calloway School of the Arts will perform Tim Rice and Elton John's musical "Aida," which opens March 15. Show dates run through March 24.
Based on Giuseppe Verdi's opera, "Aida" is a dramatic love story between Aida, a captured Nubian princess, and Radames, Captain of the Egyptian Army. John's music for the production is an eclectic mix of reggae, Motown, pop, gospel, and African-based influences blended seamlessly in a contemporary style.
The production features a stellar cast that brings this timeless love story to life on the Cab stage, just before the theater closes its doors for a year-long renovation.
Artistic director Marji Eldreth said, "The depth of talent for the show drove our decision to double-cast several of the principal roles."
For tickets, visit cabcalloway.ticketleap.com or call 651-2700 X290.
Tickets will be sold at the door depending on availability.

Fireworks at The K
As you probably have already heard, we had to cancel our Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular Show on Wednesday. During the rain storm, one of the computer modules that sends electrical charges to the shells was dampened. Our fireworks provider, J & M Displays, did cover all 450 feet of pyro-technic equipment and shells during the storm, but the moisture in the air got to one of the more than 50 modules. When the show started, the dampened module caused the computer system to short out making it impossible for the show to go off. We know the fans in attendance were disappointed…and so were we.
Yesterday, our Marketing department arranged for a couple of things to happen to replace the cancelled show and thank our dedicated fans for understanding that these things happen.
(1) Fans in attendance for the July 4th game can exchange their ticket for a ticket of the same value (subject to availability) to any one of the remaining 2007 home games, including the six remaining "Fireworks Friday" games…and, in case you haven't looked at the schedule, today's Friday and tonight's show promises to be a bigger fireworks display than most Fridays. Exchange your July 4th ticket at the Kauffman Stadium ticket windows.
(2) Then, we also decided to add one more gigantic fireworks show to the events calendar on the Sept. 11 "Salute to Uniformed Heroes Day" when the Royals host the Minnesota Twins at 7:10 p.m. It'll be just as big as the Fourth of July show was scheduled to be, giving all Royals fans a chance to see what we've been planning since February. In addition, on Sept. 11, all firefighters, police, emergency personnel and military will be given a free best available ticket to the game that night. Complimentary "Uniformed Hero" tickets will be available at Kauffman Stadium starting July 16th. Local heroes may pick up their free ticket by showing a valid ID at the Advance Ticket Windows.
Visit royals.com to get your tickets for the Sept. 11 game or get out to Kauffman Stadium to exchange those July 4 tickets.

I'm considering making the trip from Maine to Kansas City to catch a game. Kinda shameful that I haven't done it yet, having been a fan since the late 70's. If anyone has any tricks or tips to visiting Kauffman, I'd love to hear 'em.
Have been a fan myself since 1976. Lived in KC, but now live in Maryland. Two years ago, made it back to KC on a business trip and got to see the Royals beat the Yankees (Randy Johnson pitched). Oh, yeah!!! Suggest making it a week long vacation and visit KC to see the Royals play. If driving out west, Kauffman stadium is right on I-70. Can't miss it.
Ah, what a good time that would be. A leisurely drive across the country to Kauffman Stadium. There's something to be said about having attainable dreams.

Is it off-centre?
Gustavo Caballero/ FREDERIC J. BROWN/ JEWEL SAMAD/ Aaron Davidson/ Getty
John Travolta's chin growth was at the IIFA Awards in Tampa, Florida this weekend. Hands on hips. Few men pose with their hands on their hips. It's a strictly female pose move. And the man DOUBLE hands on hips is even more rare. So good on JT for make this gender neutral. Now about this thing on his chin… Are my eyes just bugging or does it appear to be off-centre? Note where the dimple is. Full Story
Quickest Oscar Hair Growth: John Travolta Ridiculous.
ADRIAN SANCHEZ/ Pascal Le Segretain/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
Here's what John Travolta's hair looked like a month ago. Don't tell me this is all natural. My hair doesn't even grow that fast. And I'm practically the world champion of hair growth. This is almost two inches. Please. Full Story
How Do you Blog a Problem Like The Travoltas?
Attention Kelly Preston: if this is coming up on your Google Alerts right now, shut down the computer and go have lunch with Rita Wilson. Trust me, girl, you're not going to want to hear what the internet has to say today. And why do I suspect Kelly Preston is scanning the blogs for her own name? Well, because after seeing her husband's new music video I now realize the Travolta/Prestons are in need of a win and they need this one to work out real bad. Full Story
This could have been the Brange of Scientology
Wenn, Jim Smeal/ Getty
I just asked Maria what Kirstie Alley is selling and why she's pimping herself all over Barbara Walters, forgetting that she's on that Dancing Stars show and must not be eliminated yet. This, apparently, is how she's trying to secure votes: by telling people that John Travolta isn't gay. Full Story
This is for your parents
It's your parents who don't know. And their parents. That's who this is for. Thank you for explaining it to me the last few weeks. Many of you have emailed to confirm that, indeed, there are people out there, A LOT of people, who still think John Travolta is straight. That it would be impossible for him to be un-straight considering he has a beautiful wife and children. Full Story
John's video for Kelly
First of all...Kelly Preston has a website? Sarah messaged me last night asking if I'd seen the video that John Travolta made for Kelly Preston. I hadn't and made a point of watching it before passing out thinking it'd be great to fall asleep to the sight of him throwing down a few dance moves in a pair of chaps. Full Story
"But he's married!"
It's not just a John Travolta decision anymore. John Travolta will sue and he will fight and he will deny and he will pay what he has to pay to perpetuate the truth that they have struggled so hard to maintain - they being the Church, his wife, his management. His sexuality is THEIR business, his personal life is directed by an entire community. Full Story
The Spa is his Forest
You remember when George Michael was repeatedly arrested for soliciting in the woods? I kept writing "Just Get A Computer!" at the time but George, no, George likes to kick it old school. He likes it dark, anonymous, furtive, and, obviously, bucolic; it's hard to convince him otherwise. For John Travolta, his "forest" is the spa. Full Story
Wallet chains make you straighter
There was a party for Barbra Streisand last night in Malibu to celebrate her 70th birthday. Katie Morosky is 70! Here are John Travolta and Kelly Preston leaving at the end of the night. So...is that a wallet chain coming out of his jeans? This is the sh-t I wish Johnny Depp would cut out of his wardrobe. Full Story
Thick, even growth
The last time we saw John Travolta - click here to see the photos - he was shaved bald on the set of The Savages. That was just 10 days ago. Yesterday John Travolta was introduced as the brand ambassador for Bombardier business jets at a hangar in Burbank, CA. Full Story
So he's not John Travolta?
Mad props to the journalist at The Daily Beast who had the balls to do this because trust me it's not usually allowed. And if it's attempted, that person is usually threatened with medieval sh-t in the back room. Can you imagine if someone did this to John Travolta? So Kevin Spacey is currently promoting a movie called Casino Jack. Full Story

Hmmm I downloaded the organic textures (came as a zip file). When I wanted to extract them my computer security said that the site they had come from had been marked as 'potentially dangerous' . As far as I can see all the files are .jpgs...but as I don't know enough about viruses etc I'm going with my virus checker - I don't need the textures that badly although some of them are very nice.
Mhm... That's strange. I downloaded them again to check if there was something wrong. There was no such message. Then I scanned it with Norton360 (latest updates and definitions) - it said everythin was fine. In a free minute I could repack them for you and upload them, maype that'll help.
EDIT: I had to split the archives due to limitation. Try if this works without a warning
Just tell me, if you need any of the other textures (or complete packs)
Last edited by Moe; 07-12-2011 at 10:02 PM.
Brilliant, thanks Moe. No more security warnings. Here is one I particularly liked which I ran though image synth as a 2048 seamless tiling texture....might make a good texture for scattered forest. If you don't have image synth and want any other textures seamlessly tiled just shoot me a PM.
No problem!
That is a pretty big and nice lookin' texture you made there.
What is the full name of the program you used?
It's called Imagesynth. It's great at making seamlessly tiling textures out of irregular shapes (not very good with regular shapes where traditional methods (offset and clone) work better). It works either stand alone or as a plug-in to photoshop.
Just Google the name.
Oh great - currently I use the pattern maker plug-in but it's not the ideal solution.
I'll give it a try.
Thank you!

Carville: Losing Health Care Debate Would Benefit Democrats
Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas—Democratic strategist James Carville was one of the architects of Bill Clinton's victory in 1992 and has played a key role in party politics for the last 20 years. Now Carville is saying if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns parts of Obamacare, the Democrats may well benefit in the November elections.
"I think that this will be the best thing that ever happened to the Democratic Party because health care costs are gonna escalate unbelievably," said Carville Tuesday on CNN's Situation Room. "I honestly believe this, this is not spin."
Carville was referring to the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act that came under scrutiny this week when Supreme Court justices heard oral arguments on the provision that mandates that individuals buy health care insurance.
"You know what the Democrats are going to say, and it is completely justified, 'We tried, we did something, go see a 5-4 Supreme Court majority.' Then the Republican Party will own the health care system for the foreseeable future."
Erik Erikson of RedState.com took issue with Carville's comments by saying if the Supreme Court overruled parts of the act that they would be speaking on behalf of millions who don't agree with the rigorous mandates.
"Both sides, not just the Democrat side, even if the laws were upheld or struck down, there is a 5-4 conservative majority, and historically you see Republicans picking justices who have a greater propensity to gravitate to the left than you see Democrat judges propensity to gravitate to the right," said Erikson in response to Carville. "This will be an undercurrent issue for both sides, though."
The Supreme Court will most likely decide the issue sometime this summer as lower courts have both upheld and struck down President Obama's prized health care plan.

text: Brad Antle, CEO of Salient Federal Solutions, an engineering and IT services firmWhen I was leading a public company, I allowed myself to buy into revenue projections that were overly optimistic. Ensuing delays in getting production online and up to full capacity for a new program had significant impacts on our ability to meet revenue and profit projections. Compounding those headwinds, we were experiencing unanticipated delays in another new start. This required a detailed, painstaking, bottoms-up review of all revenue projections and a much more conservative view of these two programs. Words of wisdom given to me: Don't miss guidance!

text: That is an excellent rifle and caliber choice. The 30-06 shoots flat with the 150 grain bullets, and hits hard with the 180 grain bullets. Folks I know with X-bolts rave about accuracy. The 165 grain offerings (especially the accubond) are tough to beat all-around, but don't overlook 150s in a "hard" bullet like the Barnes X-bullet. Barnes and Cor-Bon both load X-bullets in factory ammo. I would recommend finding a few boxes from different manufacturers, and finding which one your rifle shoots the best.

i am new to Zimbra. i am not a programer just a user trying to get away from the poor functions of Outlook with IMAP.
I recently installed Zimbra Desktop 7.1.4 (build 11273). i am using windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system. It's a fairly new laptop PC from Samsung. All of my files synced up nicely with my IMAP account at Godaddy. i have my own domain and my emails come through that domain (@aaflgroup.com).
so i see my folders and i am receiving emails just fine but if i try to reply to a message or send a fresh message, regardless of whom i send it to, it comes back with a message in my inbox that says: "Delivery Failed; Invalid Addresses"
i have checked my port settings and imap settings. i even tried a differenct outgoing port. i normally use port 80 on sending with Outlook with no problems. Port 3535 also returns the same messages. I have tried port 25 but the setup program for Zimbra gives me another error message...Zimbra won't let me use port 25.
i am not a programmer so please give me the Zimbra for Dummies response and advice please? thanks in advance!

Greensboro, NC -- Career consultant Joyce Richman talked about the importance of being a team player and not burning bridges.
"Check your assumptions. Don't be telling yourself stories about the people you work with, stories that blow up the bridges, stories that put up walls. In this economy, with jobs as precious few as they are, take care of the job you have, take care of the people you work with. Find ways to build them up, build bridges to them, find ways to find alignment. If you have a wall that's in the way, tear it down. Be the kind of team player and team builder that any company needs to have on board," said Richman.

Yay! See my latest post in the WIP / Cities forum!
Ladies and Gentlemen! Humans, dwarves, and elves! (And all you other assorted mapping enthusiasts.)
What happened to the fervor for the World Building Project? Actually, I can tell you: The May Challenge. Nothing wrong with that EXCEPT now that the challenge is done, it's time to get back to world building.
There hasn't been an addition to the wiki since the 22nd (Thanks for that, Baziron).
Remember: Your skill level as a cartographer does not matter. Pick a location and go!!

Yay! See my latest post in the WIP / Cities forum!
I think that May Challenge got everyone a bit excited / distracted y'know. Well I got a church out of it ! SeerBlue has done some great GMaps and a bit of a write up for some stuff in my area which I need to add as soon as I can get to it.

yeah, I've kind of noticed that as well, not many posts lately. (ok I haven't made any either... )
And our time is flyin', see the candle burnin' low

~The Rover - Led Zeppelin
I'm trying! It's been a bit of a struggle to get computer time lately. Plus, I'm having a hard time getting north-facing cliffs on a standard orientation map (North is up) to look good. I might have to rethink my layout... or perhaps the POV. Hmm...
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
I have read through alot of this site and the wiki but can't find what to do next.
Oh and I have to say I love, absolutely love your sig midgard!
I guess location is any town,village,city, or perhaps feature, that is named on the map.. Some may have an entry on the Wiki to give you a bit of back story, or the lands creator may have some info tucked away. So you can look at the maps here, or at Ins Carto and find something that catches your eye and then contact the Lands Cartographer and let them know.
And then just jump right in. For Snapgallows, which I am mapping, and which lies in Redrobes Thrubmorton Fen, I read through his wiki entries to get the flavor of the over all country and then looked around the area it lies in to get a feel for the terrain/ border areas/ environment. From that you can pickout or surmise what type of buildings (stone or log), if fields would be for grazing or plowing and so on..
Thanks Seer. I couldn't have put it better. Exactly what he said Bohunk. Have a look at the region maps and choose a settlement mapped on one of them. Seerblue's site shows you who the area mapper is so just drop them a line. Would you prefer city scale or individual small areas of battlemap or VTT size?
The internet! It\'ll never catch on.
Software Used: Terranoise, Wilbur, Terragen, The Gimp, Inkscape, Mojoworld
Actually I would prefer a region, I am not that good at city mapping but I suppose I can give it a try. Got a city for me to map?
Actually Bohunk, if you would prefer a regional area to map we still have two areas unclaimed out of 30 in the first section that we are mapping. Take a look at this post http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...&postcount=213, and you will see a map with the two remaining. You are welcome to take one or both of those areas if you want to rather than doing a more local map.
The internet! It\'ll never catch on.

KIDWELL - It took about five minutes for Tyler Consolidated to get rolling Monday night.
When Coach Matt Kinnard's Knights did catch fire, there was very little Paden City could do to stop them, including getting out of their own way.
Sophia Kinnard and Torrye Cline combined for 47 points and 26 rebounds to lead four double-figure scorers and Tyler Consolidated took advantage of 37 Wildcats turnovers in blasting its way to a convincing 81-36 victory at Tyler Consolidated High School.
The victory pushed the Silver Knights over the .500 mark at 7-6, while dropping Coach Kelly Sine's Paden City team one game below that mark at 6-7. Both will be back in action Thursday as Tyler plays host to Parkersburg Catholic, while the 'Cats will entertain Magnolia.
After the Knights scored the game's initial four points, Paden City actually tallied the next six to take a two-point lead on the first of five Myah Charkawi 3-pointers and three Logan Cosper charity tosses. But an 18-5 spurt to close the frame, paced by 10 Sophia Kinnard points, pushed the margin to 22-11 after one.
Tyler Consolidated then closed the second chapter by dropping in the final 15 points, including 12 from Cline, in rolling to the locker room with a 46-20 lead.
Things got no better in the third, with the hosts exiting up 67-32.
Turnovers and rebounding did the visitors in as Paden City had 14 miscues in the opening eight minutes and 23 by halftime. Meanwhile, the Knights grabbed a whopping 50-32 edge off the glass.
"Turnovers and their height were the big differences," Sine said. "They have a bunch of 5-foot-10 girls and we it just seemed like we were jumping for rebounds that they were already pulling down. Give Tyler all the credit, but I am very proud of my girls for their hustle and hard work."
Matt Kinnard was happy with his team's efforts as well. He just wishes that he could get it more often.
"This is a 7-6 team that could very easily be 11-2," Kinnard said. "I told the girls before the season started that we need to hold teams to eight points a quarter, and we have gone through spells that we are giving up a lot more than that.
"I think we did a good job finding the open girl and deflecting passes in this one, and that is something else we have to do. I am looking for 29 or 30 deflections a game and we have been averaging 12-16 our last few games. Things like that have to improve."
While Sophia Kinnard took game scoring honors with 24 points, while adding nine rebounds, Cline scored 23 and pulled down a game-high 17 missed shots. Senior Allison Wable chipped in 13 points and Sydney Reed had 11. Charkawi finished with 18 for the Wildcats while Logan Cosper had 10 points.

ATLANTA -- A wreck involving a minivan and an Xpress bus caused several delays on southbound Interstate 85 Tuesday morning.
The wreck happened just north of North Druid Hills Road in DeKalb County, according to Georgia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Chata Spikes.
DeKalb County Police spokeswoman Mekka Parish said the van cut off the bus, causing the bus to run into the van.
The female driver of the van was taken to Emory University Hospital, while her two children were taken to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. All three suffered minor injuries, Parish said. Their names were not released.
Spikes said 31 people were aboard the bus when it crashed, but no one was injured.
The HOV lane and two leftmost lanes were affected by the crash.
Parish said the woman driving the van now faces a charge of improper lane change.

As we board the tram to take us to our gate at the Pittsburgh International Airport, we meet a talkative couple - they tell us they are on their way to San Diego for a 15-day Hawaiian cruise - their 42nd cruise.
And, we, I tell them, are taking our maiden voyage on a cruise ship.
"The first one is always the best," she says.
Article Photos
Heaven ... pure heaven.
"Because you have nothing to compare it with."
After 42 cruises, "you start complaining about things," they said.
I wish I had more time to talk, to pump them for information and cruise tips, what they liked, what brought them back 42 times.
But we head in opposite directions, and before we know it, we're boarding our plane in Miami.
It was an easy trip. The actual boarding process was painless.
Soon we're on the Lido Deck; lunch is ready, our room is not.
We inspect the food lines, and settle on one to try. And a fancy drink.
My cruise planner, Bill Bryson from Uniglobe Ohio Valley Travel, warns me the fancy drinks they offer as you arrive on board are not free. A good tip to keep in mind. But nonetheless, I feel the urge to try at least one ... Today's special is the Carnival Fun Drink. And what better time than on this sunny, hot afternoon, when I have nothing to do but to enjoy the day.
I'm ready to trade my black jeans in for some cooler capris.
I sip my pretty, fruity drinks, kick off my shoes and lean back, my face to the sun.
A couple of hours in - so far, so good. So very good.
We check out our room to see if it's ready, and I'm still carrying my fancy drink in its Carnival cup, when we hear the orders for the mandatory drill. And they do mean mandatory. No drinking. No cell phones. No smoking. No eating.
All 2,000 and some of us are ordered to our staterooms to retrieve our life jackets. A steward tells us to which deck to report. They mean business before the Carnival Cruise ship "Imagination" really becomes a "fun ship!"
We listen to how to put on life vest and where we must be in order to get on a lifeboat - in the event of an emergency.
So, that's over, and we're ready for some fun! The ship begins to move, and we're off, leaving Miami in the dust as we head out to sea.
I'm lying on the deck, sipping my wine spritzer now, and a voice booms from the loudspeaker: "You are officially on vacation."
Like he had to tell me!
I'm watching Miami slip away, smaller and smaller it's becoming. It's almost as if the "real world" is melting away right before my eyes as the land disappears from view.
We decide to take a tour of the ship, just to get our bearings. And because I have no sense of direction, I am happy the ship is well-marked. I did not get lost ... well, not much.
We see the Dream Bar, the casino, the sushi bar, the Dynasty Lounge, the Serenity Deck (no kids!), the gift shop, the library, the spa, the Promenade, the pool, the exercise room, the two dining rooms ... it's a big ship, for sure!
Meals, of course, are an important part of any cruise - any vacation, for that matter. I was a bit apprehensive about mealtime, having to sit with a table of strangers every night.
But that turned out to be one of the most fun parts of the day. We had a great group of dinner companions. We all agreed we were lucky - we could've gotten stuck with worse!
Breakfast could be taken at the buffets or in one of the dining rooms. We tried the dining room one morning, but decided the buffet was better.
It really is quite easy to eat healthy at breakfast; there are lots of fruits, yogurts and eggs from which to choose. There also are pancakes, waffles and pastries that I tried to avoid.
Lunch was good, as well. I enjoyed the pizza and there was a deli with delicious grilled sandwiches, bagels and wraps.
Each day, one of the buffets had a "Taste of Nations" theme - French, Italian, Caribbean, All-American were the choices during our cruise.
At dinner, there were many choices. And each evening's menu included a spa selection - lower calories, lower fat. Or if you wanted, you could have two appetizers and two entrees. How often does a waiter ask, "Does anyone want a second lobster tail?"
The "Captain's Party" preceded dinner one night. Waitresses offered cocktails - manhattans, daiquiris, martinis, whiskey sours, wine - and appetizers. "Funship Freddy"- the ship's mascot - and the captain joined the party.
Captain Andrea Viacava introduced all the senior officers and personnel, noting that they were from a myriad of countries around the world.
"We try to make this the best vacation you've ever had," he told us.
Then Karl ("Karl With a K" as he was known), cruise director, was introduced. He told us that the captain is the "world's No. 1 designated driver."
Cheers to that!
He also mentioned that 50 countries were represented by the staff members.
About 900 staff members take care of the 2,200 guests.
Karl With a K was everywhere throughout the week, leading fun and games.
There were bingo (the prize was a free cruise!), towel-folding classes, limbo, dance classes, concerts, exercise and yoga classes, a golf clinic, Blackjack tournaments ...
Every day we received the Carnival Capers, our "daily guide to FUN," in which the day's activities were set forth. You could be busy from 6 a.m. when the gym opens until ... well ... 6 a.m. when the gym opens again!
There are parties and music and sing-alongs until the wee hours of the morning and the video arcade is open 24 hours a day.
We were docked at ports for parts of two of our days. We stopped at Key West, Fla., from 7:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on our second day at sea. It was a beautiful spot, one worth returning to. We walked around the town - just long enough to fall in love with it! - and spent a couple of hours touring the Ernest Hemingway home. (More to come about that in a future Key West travel article.)
We docked at Cozumel, Mexico, from 1 until 10 p.m.the next day. There, we had a glass-bottom boat/snorkeling excursion booked, but we canceled due to the pouring rain and overcast day.
Prior to each port day, Diana Gawel, our destination shopping specialist, told us the best spots to shop when we departed the ship. In fact, she even hung out at some of the shopping spots in Cozumel and in Key West, offering specials at many of the shops.
Carnival offers shore excursions that can be booked onboard.
Some of the offerings include pub crawls, kayak tours, scuba diving, snorkeling, shopping, deep sea fishing, a tour of the Mayan ruins, a swim with dolphins, cooking and tasting classes and horseback riding, to name a few.
A cruise can just about be whatever you want it to be. It can be a relaxing vacation - if you just want to sit on the deck with a drink and visit the spa for an afternoon facial or massage.
It can be a social vacation, if you participate in the fun and games led by the cruise director.
It can be full of entertainment if you take in the shows each evening.
It can be a gambling trip if you want to spend hours in the casino.
It can be a shopping vacation; there are plenty of on-board places to shop as well as at the ports-of-call.
Of course, it can be a sport vacation, too, with visits to the gym, the miniature golf course, running track and swimming pool, along with the horseback riding, snorkeling, scuba and golf excursions.
It can be a family vacation where kids can have a ball. Camp Carnival, Circle C and Club O2 are geared to various age groups and give Mom and Dad some couple time.
These are all - well, some! - of the offerings of our Carnival Cruise.
Some cruise lines cater to gourmet dining, private decks, luxury accommodations or romantic experiences.
Norwegian Cruise Lines tout their "freestyle cruising," where you can eat whenever and wherever you like. Royal Carribbean features rock-climbing walls and onboard surfing.
Disney Cruises cater to families.
Carnival's catch phrase is "fun," and they certainly do that well!
The key to choosing the right cruise for you is to research what each line offers. Your travel agent will be able to help.
I may not be planning 42 cruises in my lifetime, but I certainly am glad I took my first one.
