THE impact of the recession on Swindon has been laid bare in figures showing almost 800 commercial properties are empty across the town.
The list includes premises vacated by businesses which went bust and one central shopping street, Commercial Road, which features 16 times.
Long-term empty properties include offices in the Athena Business Centre, on the Elgin Industrial Estate, home of George White Motors before it folded in January, which have been unoccupied for 1,479 days. Another premises, above MD Motors, in Stratton Road, has been vacant for 5,922 days.
The longest-running empty unit, however, is 38a Hyde Road, in Upper Stratton, which has been vacant for 8,054 days according to figures up to the beginning of April.
Though the data is taken from a total of 5,286 properties, traders said tough economic conditions and high rates are making it difficult to establish a permanent foothold in the town.
In particular Regent Street has suffered from several stores closing in recent months and is dotted with empty shops.
A similar situation exists in Commercial Road, where Stella Weeks, director of Mainline Employment, has witnessed the decline.
"The street used to be really booming but there are businesses closing down because they just can't manage the cost," she said.
"Although there are a lot of people looking for work I don't think as many people are coming into Swindon as there were. People are scared to open businesses in the current environment and we need to encourage them to take the plunge."
Romeo Pirvu, director of SNES sports nutrition and equipment suppliers, is located in Havelock Street, which has not suffered to the same extent from empty shopfronts.
But while figures from the town centre management agencies show healthy occupancy rates in the area, he believes many businesses do not last long.
"My friends who own businesses all say the same thing – that times are extremely tough," Mr Pirvu said.
"Even in Havelock Street there are empty units and businesses coming and going, with many not lasting a year. People are making debts to pay debts. The Government and the council need to listen to traders.
"I've been running my own business for three years and I've never been approached once.
"The only communication you get is a threatening letter when the rates are late."
Ashok Mistry, of Egg-e-licious food stop, in the Tented Market, agrees.
He said: "The problem is the rents are very high and the returns give small traders very little incentive, particularly in the town centre.
"You could pay £50,000 a year for a unit in the middle of town but you will only get tax relief up to about £13,000 of your earnings. Even small shops a bit further from the Brunel shopping centre have to generate an income of £2,000 a week to break even and that's before the costs of salaries, electricity, gas and water.
"Then there is increasing competition from internet sales.
"It's not only small shops that are suffering, major stores like HMV are struggling to survive in this environment."
The figures, obtained by the Adver under the Freedom of Information Act, show 789 properties lay empty as of April 19, including large amounts of space at business parks in outlying areas.
Yet South Swindon MP Robert Buckland believes the town, which has an occupancy rate above the national average, is still desirable to new businesses.
"It's always concerning to learn about empty commercial properties but if you speak to surveyors and estate agents they will tell you there is a lot of interest out there," he said.
"There is an 89 to 90 per cent occupancy rate which is very encouraging.
"Swindon remains a great place to locate a business."
Forward Swindon, the town centre economic redevelopment firm, is part of the project team aiming to breathe new life into the central shopping district with the £350m Union Square overhaul, which is scheduled to begin at the end of the month.
A spokeswoman said: "Forward Swindon provides a service to help businesses find suitable space in Swindon – whether it be through local agents or the council – in the town centre or on a business park."

Hi I'm new here but I figure I will post a lot in the coming months. I'm doing a 4th year college project with 2 NXT robots and although I've done a bit of research I haven't really found the answer I'm looking for.
So the project idea is:
Part 1) Robot A will communicate with Robot B, Robot A will move to Robot B's location
Part 2) Once there, Robot A will begin to take coloured balls off of Robot B and place them on their respective colour trays. Again Robot B will communicate to A what colour ball to use. Robot A will have to find the right tray.
I am wondering is this a do-able project? I am confident with enough time I can program this but from your experience are there any issues here I could run into?
My main concern being communication between the 2 Robots, I can't find much information on that!
EDIT: Just a quick edit, let's say the bluetooth communication between the 2 isn't possible. Is it possible for the ultrasonic to be programmed so it can at least see a ball. So from there I wouldn't need communication. ( But I would love to implement this area)

New calls for Berger to resign, seek help after McCrory incident
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 12:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 12:12 p.m.
Calls for New Hanover County Commissioner Brian Berger to resign are ringing loud and clear after his latest threats to county staff and fellow commissioners and an incident with Gov. Pat McCrory.
In an email sent to Berger Friday morning, Chairman Woody White asked the embattled commissioner to seek help.
"I implore you to gather with your friends and family, and seek treatment," White said. "I will help with that, if asked, for free. But I also ask – implore – that you resign immediately. It is time. It was time for you to do so long ago, but these recent episodes have reached a critical mass."
The email comes a day after Berger climbed on stage with McCrory during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cape Fear Community College Humanities and Fine Arts Center.
"Read this," Berger said, according to county officials who attended the event, before thrusting a nearly 10-page manifesto into the governor's hand.
McCrory stood on stage with a confused look on his face – his speech in one hand and Berger's manifesto in the other.
The manifesto, which Berger also distributed a few weeks ago in Washington, D.C., threatens some county staff members and falsely accuses both current and former officials of illegal activity. The rambling document spells out Berger's constant drum beat of accusations of corruption and discrimination.
But this time officials are taking notice of Berger's dire predictions.
"I am keenly aware that in the absence of intervention it is possible, if not likely, that its only a matter of time before someone gets seriously wounded or murdered," reads a section of Berger's manifesto.
This escalation has forced action from White.
"Our inquiry of the document he distributed has become about ensuring the safety of the staff members. The writings and ramblings in that document are so absurd that we are not concerned with what it says, but it appears that he has some significant mental health issues," White said in a telephone interview . "The consensus of the board is that it's crossed the line from simply being a nuisance to a growing safety concern for some county staff."
Ramping up security
Berger proved to be a concern for the governor's security team Thursday.
After McCrory's speech, Berger was standing by the governor's convoy and banging on the windows of the vehicles, according to a member of the security team. The vehicles were empty, but he was yelling and demanding a meeting with McCrory. The security team escorted Berger out and the convoy was given an alternate safe route out of town to avoid any other altercations, officials said.
The New Hanover County Government Center is also ramping up security, White said, though he could not be specific about what had been done.
Any safety measures implemented at the county level have to be handled by the commissioners. County staff has no authority in this matter, and officials said their hands are tied until the board takes up the issue.
"Your recent actions are disturbing, and have given us all grave concern about the escalation in your mental health issues. Your rambling, incoherent comments and actions over the last 20 days – culminating in the security risk you posed to the Governor of North Carolina yesterday – have given us all reason to stay away from you," White wrote in the email. "Your actions have been erratic, delusional, and manic. The emails, text messages, and constant harassment of staff are unacceptable. They (and I) feel unsafe when you are present, and no one wants to meet with you, because of the risk you pose. The heightened progression of your mental delusions result in us all feeling unsafe. And they result in distracting us from the real business we need to do for the citizens."
'Sick and tired'
In early March, county officials really started to notice the escalation in Berger's odd behavior. He made more than 2,000 copies of the manifesto, traveled to Washington and passed them out at the National Association of Commissioners legislative conference. Berger was not attending the conference in an official capacity.
In addition to the statements against county officials, the document also lists Berger's "serious concerns" about the county, which are nearly all related to his prior arrests and the restraining order against him by an ex-girlfriend.
Berger originally denied passing out the document in a telephone interview Wednesday, but eventually stated that the document and the subsequent copies were his materials.
"I was lobbying for important things for the citizens of New Hanover County," he said. "It's not personal."
But for county officials mentioned in the document it feels personal.
Former commissioner Jason Thompson, who is mentioned, said he is "sick and tired" of Berger's unfounded accusations.
He added that he is looking into taking legal action against Berger.
"I don't have to put up with this crap. I can financially go after him and I will," Thompson said. "I will tell you that other people are scared to go after him because they are afraid he will retaliate. People are scared of him because he shows all the signs of someone who might come in there with a firearm."
'If I am wrong I'll resign'
Berger's accusatory remarks toward staff also extends to handwritten notes left on Berger's recently submitted expense reports.
"Continued harassment. Please Stop. Remember the Golden Rule!" reads one note. "No receipt. Discrimination is offensive. Please stop!" another read.
Since January, Berger has submitted multiple expense reports asking for more than $4,000 in reimbursements.
Receipts for steak dinners, a $2,600 hotel bill and the cost of making the thousands of copies of his manifesto are all among the latest expenses Berger is asking taxpayers to refund.
A policy Berger voted for last year, however, will keep him from being reimbursed.
The travel policy was unanimously adopted in June 2012. It bans any commissioner from travel at the county's expense and from attended any local events that have a cost associated with them until forfeited funds are repaid. Berger is unable to travel in an official capacity because he owes the county $287.16 for previous unused hotel rooms and conference fees.
Despite the policy, Berger said he is sure he will be paid back in full, particularly for his $3,000 trip to Washington to attend the National Association of Commissioners legislative conference in early March.
"I am a county commissioner. This was an event for commissioners. It is so clearly discriminatory for me not to be included," he said. "I'm just asking for a smidgen of what the other county commissioners get."
County officials said Berger will only be reimbursed for an expense of $54.55 that he spent on office supplies. All other requests are exempt because of the travel policy.
In a series of lengthy text messages sent at 4:43 a.m. Thursday morning to the StarNews, Berger asked the paper to take a close look at the information provided in the manifesto and in the expense reports and made a promise – one his fellow board members are hoping he will keep.
"Declaring guilt and destroying lives because a reporter can't do simple math or knock on the door of a neighbour [sic], but prefer harming others (thousands of lives wrecked and families torn apart needlessly) almost makes me cry. Almost! The heartlessness and hate that apparently is a good thing in the Internet Age ... Please look at only a few documents and tell 'the people' the God's honest truth," he wrote. "If I am wrong I'll resign."

|{module 286}
|#1 Set Collector Popularity
Just based on the number of searches and interest that Topps T-206 and Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball bring to Sports Card Radio, I am interested to see how many set builders also take on Topps Heritage. It is a deep base set (425 Cards + 75 Short Print SP Cards) so there is plenty to go after. Box prices are affordable on just about any budget and the Chrome Parallel Cards, Insert Cards (6 Per Box), Topps Stamps and Chase '61 Cards inserted, it does make for a nice break. Not to mention all the bubble gum you get from a full box!
#2 Mickey Mantle - Roger Maris - Babe Ruth Triple Cut Auto
Who will pull it, will they sell it and how much will it go for? If only it was me!
#3 Insert Card Values
You only get 6 Per Box. But for some reason the checklist isn't all that big. With only 45 total cards you actually fill more than 10% if you get no dups in a box...so they really aren't all that rare I guess. I would have liked to see a 100+ card insert set where you get 6 per box, that would have made completing the set (and the cards value) much higher.

Countdown to the top Colorado Cycling stories in 2011
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
303Cycling will count down the top 10 stories in 2011 starting with 10. It was an exciting year with lots of great milestones, some good and some bad. See what you think and give us your thoughts on 2011.
Top 10 cycling stories in Colorado for 2011
Photo Credit: 303Photo
10 - Inaugural year for the Mead Roubaix. Either you loved it or hated it, especially if you were one of the cyclists caught in the mass pile up on one of the dirt sections. One rider did some how make it out of the entire carnage around him, see the whole Crash Series. IMO most amazing photo series of the year.
9 - Lance Armstrong, LiveStrong, and an Unforgettable Journey. This story is so amazing I'd call it BS if it weren't for the photo proof. Touching and just dam cool how our new Colorado resident, Lance Armstrong, offers a hand to another Coloradan. If you missed it when it came out then worth the read
8 - Boulder says NO to Bikes in West TSA. Huge political storm, that is probably still having some fall-out with voters, hit the fan as the City Council was set-up by Open Space to decide the fate of allowing access to the West TSA section in Boulder. Ironically days before the vote an illegal trail was discovered and local pro cyclist Mike West was one of the 2 caught riding it. In the end the council voted to continue the ban on cycling in the West TSA
7 - Colorado had their first Cycling Summit. The Cycling Summit was put on by Bicycle Colorado and the purpose was to take much of the energy from Colorado that was going to the national bike summit in DC and keep it in Colorado focused on Colorado. I was blown away and look forward to it returning again in 2012!
6 - B-cycle Launches in Boulder!. Denver got their Bcycle in 2010 and 2011 was Boulder's turn. Much has since been spoken about B-cycle since their launch, see All of our stories dedicated to Boulder B-cycle.
Stay tuned soon for the last 5 stories that rocked the Colorado cycling community. We know what they are, do you? Tell us what you think the last top 5 stories were in 2010

I was just reviewing the 2010 best of and caught Chris Grelish's cost to put on a race summary. It's educational, and shows all of the blood, sweat, and tears that go into putting an event on. Kudos to Chris for all of his hard work, passion for the sport, and for sharing his figures with us. I think it would be interesting to do the same for a few local rides, where, once you do consider lunch, swag, and police support, the cost per rider really adds up.

The task proved difficult, and the competition was eventually narrowed down to three skilled pumpkin droppers—the demon, the redneck, and the Man in the Yellow Hat. K-Bull 93 Morning Moo Crew hosts Carly Cash and Shotgun Jackson were there for play-by-play.
In the end, the Man in the Yellow Hat excelled ahead of the demon and redneck in his aim to win the contest.
Here are some of the highlights we picked up from this year's drop:

Men's Swimming & Diving Places Third, Women's Team Finishes Fourth At Horizon League Championships
Feb. 27, 2005
Brown Deer, Wis.- The University of Illinois at Chicago swimming and diving teams put an exclamation point on their 2004-05 season on Saturday, as the men's team placed third for their best finish in over a decade, while the women's squad came close to a top-three finish in a solid fourth.
The men's team was just 62 points behind a tough second-place Cleveland State team. UIC's top-three finish gave them their best final league ranking since the 1994 season.
UIC's move to a top-three finish on the men's side earned UIC head coach Paul Moniak Horizon League Men's Swimming Coach of the Year honors. It marked the second time in his four-year tenure with the Flames that Moniak won the award for men's swimming coaching excellence and the third time he has been named a league Coach of the Year on either side.
More school records fell on the final day for the Flames. Junior LeRoy Stevens broke his own 100-yard freestyle record for the second time in less than eight hours as the speedy sprint-free specialist swam a 44.87. Stevens took third in the event, followed by Blake Booher in third with a career 45.19, the third-best all-time mark in school history.
Both the men's and women's 400 freestyle relay records fell, as Kelly Hyatt, Aisha Williams, Emily Biancalana and Colleen Dougherty replaced the old school-best of 3:34.90 with a 3:32.08, while Stevens, Booher, Athanasios Lamprou and Bill Hare turned in a second-place time of 3:00.77, beaten only by Wright State's Horizon League record, to establish a new UIC best time.
Jessica Darud capped off her career meet with a second-place finish in the 200 backstroke, setting a career-best 2:05.33.
Freshman Dan Hare etched his name in the UIC record book with a new school-best time of 1:53.49 in the 200 backstroke.
Sophomore Kelly Hyatt led the way with a fourth-place finish in the 100 free for the women.
Senior Stefan Staev capped off his career with a third-place finish in the 200 breaststroke, putting a lid on his finest meet as a Flame.
Senior Vanessa Segovia also closed out her career with the team's leading time in the 200 butterfly, going a 2:13.69 in the finals.
Kris Simos swam a solid 1:52.93 in the 200 fly for the men.
Mark Pappalardo led the team on the diving side with a third-place finish in the men's three-meter finals.
Wright State successfully defended their men's title, while UW-Green Bay captured the women's championship.
2005 HORIZON LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS MEN'S FINAL TEAM STANDINGS 1. Wright State 852 2. Cleveland State 688 3. UIC 626 4. UW-Green Bay 560.5 5. UW-Milwaukee 470.5 6. Butler 122

My wife was just issued a multiple entry visa by France, which is good for one year. Our first trip will be to France, the issuing country. My question is: after we leave the EU and return, must future trips also start in France? Or may we go directly to (say) Greece from the US on a later visit?
Does a multiple-entry Schengen visa allow visiting other Schengen countries later, without going via the issuing country?
You can enter any country within the Schengen area (25 countries) with no problems. Check the Schengen visa website. I have done that personally before.
Anyway, Out of personal experience, German immigration are not really friendly with this idea. Once in Frankfurt they refused the entry of a friend to the country because she had her visa issued from the Italian Embassy. Anyway after few tears they let her in. Moral of the story, Yes you can enter any Schengen country with your Schengen visa regardless of the issuing country.

Needed -- a 21st century voter registration system for California
The world looks to California for 21st century innovation, especially for the application of technology that makes life less costly and more efficient.
Californians are well into the 21st century, working in the cloud, using smart phones and tablet computers, and getting their entertainment on-demand by satellite. But when it comes to voter registration, California seems to be stuck in the 18th century. State law won't allow eligible citizens in our state to register online until at least 2015 -- and maybe much later.
Fortunately, Californians may not need to wait much longer. A bill that would allow for online voter registration as soon as 2012 is making its way through the state Senate. SB397 would allow counties throughout the state to implement online voter registration systems for eligible citizens who already have a valid California driver's license or state identification card. In order to be available to eligible Californians before the next major election cycle, however, SB397 would need to be passed immediately. The bill's fate rests in the hands of the state Senate.
Online voter registration will not only increase the number of Californians who are registered to vote but, if done well, might also increase voter turnout in future elections. At this time, there are approximately 6.4 million eligible Californians who are not registered to vote. Allowing online registration will vastly simplify the registration process for those individuals. Permitting online registration in California will also generate significant cost savings -- a boon to state and local governments struggling with dwindling budgets.
States like Arizona and Washington have successfully adopted proposals similar to SB397. Both states have realized significant cost savings: Washington estimated a savings of $176,000 in its first year after implementing online voter registration, and Maricopa County, Ariz., reported saving more than $1 million since implementing online registration five years ago. There is no doubt that California counties will experience similar savings once online registration is put in place for voters.
Finally, online registration will enhance the security of the existing registration process. Only eligible citizens with a driver's license or state identification card would be able to register online. These eligible citizens would provide their information securely online, and then county election officials would verify that information using an independent state-run database matched against the DMV records. Once a DMV record is located for the registrant, the same signature that the eligible citizen provided to the DMV would be used by the election official as the registration signature for the voter registration record.
California needs online registration in time for the 2012 elections. We cannot wait any longer to elevate our 18th century registration system to one that can serve the needs of voters in the 21st century. We urge legislators to put California on the track of innovation and election modernization. Pass SB397.

|Blaser earns WAC honor
DENVER – The Western Athletic Conference honored University of Idaho decathlete Andrew Blaser on Wednesday as the Verizon WAC Field Athlete of the Week after his efforts the week of Mar. 26-Apr. 1 at the Texas Relays.
Blaser, a senior from Meridian, Idaho (University of Louisville), posted a WAC-best score of 7,035 in the decathlon at the Texas Relays. He finished ninth in the event and moved into the No. 12 spot in the NCAA national rankings in the event.
Blaser's score was just eight points shy of his career best in the event, and his two-day event total included outdoor career bests in the pole vault at 16-0.75 (4.90m), shot put at 37-8.75 (11.50m) and 400m dash in 50.19.
In addition to his career bests, Blaser posted the WAC's top 110m hurdles time of 14.40. His pole vault mark is second-best in the WAC, his long jump of 22-9.75 (6.95m) ranks third and his high jump of 6-2.75 (1.90m) ranks fourth.
This is Blaser's first weekly honor of the outdoor season and the second of his career. Blaser was honored once earlier this year indoors and the team had 10 total individual weekly awards during the indoor season.
Vandal men's and women's track and field will be split up again this weekend, with the main group competing in the WAR 5 regional dual at Spokane, Wash., hosted by Spokane Falls Community College. Another smaller group will compete in the Stanford Invitational at Palo Alto, Calif.

Reviews for Contest-Winning Eggplant Parmesan
"Delicious! I love eggplant parmesan and this is a nice sized recipe. I doubled the sauce and omitted the mushrooms."
"I LOVE this recipe! I have made eggplant parm before, frying the eggplant, and didn't like it because it soaked up too much oil. This was SO good! I salted the PEELED eggplant slices to reduce the bitterness and put them into a colander for 20 min. Then I dipped the slices in flour, egg, and panko crumbs, and baked them on sprayed cookie sheets for 20 minutes, turning after 10. I chopped the mushrooms, and fresh basil, and oregano, and layered all ingredients. I used 32 oz. of sauce, 28 oz. wasn't enough. We had the leftovers the next day, and it actually tasted even better! Definitely a keeper!!"
"Needed to use more eggs. Needed more sauce. Mushrooms made it watery. Did not add any flavor to this dish. Also using Italian seasoned bread crumbs neede to be used in this recipe."
"Please pardon me for my frankness, but this is not a prize winning recipe. First of all, the ingredients as listed are not correct. I cut up 3 eggplants and ended up with too many slices for recipe. Also, I used 5 eggs to dip the eggplant slices and had to use more than the 2 1/2 cups of Panko. The real kicker was that after spending hours making this recipe, it ended up not having enough sauce and was extremely dry as Donald indicated below. Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews below before making it.Very disappointed with this recipe."
"I grew up in an Italian family and learned from my grandmother to always after slicing the eggplant to soak it in water with salt to get the bitterness from it, or extra strong tase, then lay on towels to dry, then start your recipe. Also, there are male and female eggplants and if you look at the bottom of the eggplant the one's with the smaller tan patch are the males and the larger the females, thus more seeds."

AAA: the Nespresso long-term commitment to farmers
The Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program involves paying premiums of around 30% to 40% above the standard market price, for the highest quality coffee and more sustainable farming practices. But our commitment goes beyond this; it is about a long-term relationship and continued loyalty to the coffee farmers in the program. This approach enables Nespresso to safeguard the future supply of the highest quality coffee, while paying farmers a higher income and protecting the natural environment.
By working together with our own network of agronomists, coffee trade partners and local NGOs, we provide the training, technical support and financial investment to help manage costs, gain efficiencies, improve crop quality, increase yields and protect biodiversity. For instance, together with the Rainforest Alliance and other leading NGOs, we have developed a unique Tool for the Assessment of Sustainable Quality, called TASQ™, which enables farmers to adopt more sustainable agricultural practices.
And our commitment to building loyal and lasting relationships with farmers on the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program goes even further. As long as the coffee is of the quality required for our Grand Cru collection, we will always buy from a farmer in the program, regardless of price fluctuations or how much AAA standard coffee the farmer produces.
We are on track to meet our goal of sourcing 80% of our coffee from our AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program by the end of 2013, even though the volume of coffee we are producing has increased considerably. At the end of 2012, we were already sourcing 68% of our coffee from roughly 52,000 farmers who are part of the program.
Testimonial: Cosme de Jesus, Colombian coffee farmer in Caldas
I have a small farm located in Caldas with 3,000 coffee trees. Fortunately, they have not been affected by the coffee leaf rust since my trees are young and I take good care of them.
I have been participating in the Nespresso AAA Program for about five years. Their agronomists are always visiting my farm and inviting me to attend workshops and meetings. They are always available to respond to our questions.
Thanks to them, I have learned how to better take care of my farm and coffee. I now make sure my coffee drying patio and equipment are clean and know when to wash the coffee so that it does not acquire an acidic taste. I am also disposing of waste properly and using my kitchen waste and coffee pulp as compost. By meeting these requirements, I am able to sell my coffee at a fair price and use the premium to buy fertilizer and maintain my coffee trees.
Besides learning best practices, we are also advised as to what coffee varieties we should plant. This is important since many farmers who do not belong to the AAA Program end up buying and producing very low coffee quality.

PCC in the News
News: Women's Volleyball Rallies To Upset OCC in 5; Face No. 1 LA Pierce Tuesday
The No. 5-seeded Pasadena City College women's volleyball team rallied from down 2-0 in sets and fought off match point in the fifth game to upset No. 4 seed Orange Coast College, 19-25, 22-25, 25-15, 25-17, 16-14, in round 2 of the Southern California Regional Playoffs Saturday night in Costa Mesa.
The South Coast Conference co-champion Lancers (21-4) trailed 14-13 in the fifth set, but after a timeout called by head coach Tammy Silva, outside hitter Viridiana Gallardo ripped a kill to tie it. Middle blocker Megan Callen made a solo block to give the Lancers the lead before Orange Coast's All-State outside hitter Karlee Riggs sent a powerful attempt long for match point.
In the epic fifth set, OCC jumped ahead 8-5, but PCC responded with a 4-0 run capped by a combined block by Callen and setter Kailey Faust to take a 9-8 lead. The set featured nine ties and six lead changes.
The comeback victory avenged the only time Pasadena had been swept this year when OCC won a non-conference match back in September. Despite 31 kills in an incredible 90 attempts by Riggs, the Pirates finished the year at 19-3.
PCC advances to Round 3 of the regionals on Tuesday, Nov. 27 against two-time defending state champion Los Angeles Pierce, a sweep winner over No. 8 El Camino. Pierce is the state's No. 1-ranked team and has won 62 consecutive matches dating back to 2010. Tuesday's regional final begins at 7 p.m. at the Pierce gym.
"It just looked like we were done after losing the second game," Silva said. "But we stayed with our strategy to tire out Riggs, trying to serve and attack her as much as we could. Then we stepped up with our blocking and defense. The fifth set was a nail biter, but we maintained our cool. The whole team came together. It's the greatest win in my coaching career."
Faust set a PCC season-high and school playoff record 62 assists and served three aces while libero Jennifer Estrada made a Lancers' season-high 31 digs. Nora To'omalatai led the attack with 19 kills (hit .469) while All-State middle blocker Jackie Valle-Acosta recorded 14 kills (.500 hitting percentage) and six blocks. Callen added nine kills and another Lancers' season-high with eight blocks (five solos).
Opposite Yanise Joseph contributed 13 kills, including three early in the fifth set. Gallardo had a double-double with 12 kills and 11 digs. Defensive specialist Cassandra Delacruz has become a cog off the bench as she made 11 digs and starting rotation DS Briana Hilton totaled nine digs.
In set 1, PCC made 12 unforced errors, including five service mistakes to help Orange Coast take a 1-0 lead. In game 2, Pasadena led 12-10, but OCC went on a 10-3 run capped by a Riggs kill to take a 20-15 advantage. PCC averted two set points, but fell at 25-22 on a kill by Dana Nicholson.
In the third game, Orange Coast's offense was neutralized by the Lancers as the Pirates made more attack errors than kills (six to five). Meanwhile, PCC jumped out to a 6-2 lead before OCC sliced it to 13-11. Valle-Acosta pounded two kills and Faust twirled two aces during a 12-4 spurt that capped set 3 and brought PCC the momentum.
In the fourth set, the Lancers again jumped out in front, 3-0, and never trailed. Leading 13-10, PCC scored five straight points, including two blocks and a kill by Valle-Acosta to take a commanding 8-point lead. To'omalatai was credited with a kill for set point on an Orange Coast net blocking error.
When PCC faced match point, Silva said what she told her team during the timeout.
"I just told them to stay calm, make a good pass, set, and land a kill. That's exactly what we did with Gallardo putting it home. Once we tied it, we got that last change of momentum. The players just played their hearts out, and deserved to win it."
PCC is going to the third round for the first time since 2010 when it was eliminated by Cypress in four games. If Pasadena upsets LA Pierce, it would advance to the CCCAA State Championship Tournament for the first time since 1995.
Pasadena won for the first time this season when reaching a fifth set (1-2). Orange Coast was 0-2 in those type of matches.

Style, talent, verve—is there any positive attribute Miss Piggy doesn't possess? (Okay, we'll give you modesty. And self-control.) Recently named the new face of MAC cosmetics, the long-lashed icon also stars in The Muppets (opening Nov. 23), the first feature film from that furred and feathered troupe in 12 years. Amid a hectic schedule of self-maintenance and self-promotion, Miss Piggy graciously took time to talk to More about the subject closest to her heart: herself.
More: You have been a star for a very long time. To what do you attribute your carer longevity?
Miss Piggy: A long time? Oh no dear, vous must have moi confused with some other legendary beautiful and talented actress and international star; someone like Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor (was she a Hepburn, too?). Moi is a mere ingénue, at the very dawn of my career. And yet, I have accomplished so much that your misapprehension is excusable. Let us just say that I have achieved and maintained my fame by being myself. In a word, fabulous!
More: Do you feel more freedom now than you did in your twenties?
M.P.: I am in my twenties….However, I do believe that as one gets older, one does become more sure of their selves, more confident in the choices they make, more free in saying to the world: "This is me, buster! Take it or leave it, but get out of my way!" Fortunately, I came to that attitude early on, and continue to live by it every single day.
More: How is your life today more fulfilling?
M.P.: Oh, there is the material comfort, of course: I have more places to put stuff, and more stuff to put in those places. And naturally, there is the whole "fame" issue—being recognized, honored and adored wherever I go. (It's a chore, but it sure beats obscurity.) However, neither of these things is as fulfilling as the company of those I love and respect. Being with, for instance, my frog, Kermie, gives me great joy. As does being with my close personal friends (see the Celebrity A-List for complete list of names). Personal fulfillment doesn't come from what you have and what you've done; it comes from those around you who love you for who you are (as well as for what you have and what you've done).
More: What do you value in yourself now that you didn't when you were younger?
M.P.: Confidence. I know this will be difficult to believe, but when I was very young, I would wonder if I had what it takes to be somebody in this world. Ha-ha-hah! It's laughable to think of now; I mean, with moi's looks, talent, personality, not to mention, my je ne sais quoi, whatever that means—obviously I was destined for fame and success. So now, I embrace my confidence. I know who I am and what I am capable of. And, oh yes, I'm very humble, too.
More: Can you share any beauty secrets?
M.P.: Here are just a few: (1) GOOD LIGHTING: if you're well lit, you'll always look fantastique. I always travel with a lighting director, key grip and a cinematographer, to make sure my lighting is perfect. I also travel with a best boy, but that's got nothing to do with lighting. (2) ATTENTION TO DETAIL: Make sure you attend to every aspect of your beauty regimen. There is nothing worse than going out wearing one false eyelash. (3) THE COMPANY YOU KEEP: If you have natural beauty, like some of us are blessed with, you will look lovely no matter what. However, if your beauty could use some help, I suggest hanging around people who are…uh, aesthetically challenged. That's why you see moi around the Muppets; standing next to those weirdos, anyone would look great.
More: Gloria Steinem says that telling your age is a form of coming out. So: How old are you, anyway?
M.P.: Younger than Gloria Steinem.

Reviews for Two-Tone Fudge Brownies
"I recall making this recipe and I'd adjusted it by using 1/2 tsp. baking soda and 1/2 tsp. salt. I'd omitted the nuts and baked brownies in an 11x7" or 12x8" greased and floured baking pan. I got a yield of 2 dozen brownies. I'd chilled these brownies for at least 1/2 hour! This is a great recipe! I'd recommend it to anyone to try out! delowenstein"
"Brilliant idea! Every time I've made them, they get raves. As others have said, the cookie dough layer is too thin, I double it. Also, I like walnuts in the cookie dough layer, either instead of or along with the ones in the brownies. I also add ¼ tsp. soda to the dough, to make it taste more like regular cookie dough. If you want them to look pretty, you'll have to line your pan with parchment or buttered foil. Then lift them out when completely cool and cut downward with a large sharp knife, cleaning between each cut."
"If you like chocolate chip cookie dough, you'll like these!Make sure you allow enough time for the cookie dough layer to set properly; this layer can't be rushed."
"This is my go-to tailgate recipe! I have used it for years and love it."
"My son often requests these brownies for parties. Easy to make and delicious!"

Our friend Gareth at Skewed & Reviewed has taken a really good look at the major game consoles. If you're like me, a middle aged guy with children, video games are a fact of life. I know a ton of Accent Inns guests (mainly the fella's…) really like to play the occasional video game and it certainly seems to be the new "silent babysitter" for many of our children. Some may think this is a bad thing but there are positive roles video games can take. My family has some really good times playing video games together and with the interactive console types like the Wii, even some exercise can be had. Wii bowling tournaments are a fun activity in our house. Our system even replaced our old DVD player so now we can watch DVD's, Blue ray, online movies and play games all in one small console. The key thing to remember is balance. Make sure you and your kids also experience the great outdoors and get regular exercise.
Of course when you're traveling, look for hotels (Accent Inns is one) , that offer free WiFi so you can keep playing those games on your laptops, Ipods, Ipads etc….
So for all you gamers or perhaps parents, that need to decide what system to buy little Johnny for Christmas, Gareth offers some great insights. (more…)

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BrandBee Awesome! I ordered this bed and 2 nightstands after reading the reviews. What a great value for the quality! All 3 pieces were extremely well-made and very sturdy! The nightstands were already assembled (bonus!) and the bed was super easy to put together. I did it by myself before my husband got home. I highly recommend these pieces! You can't go wrong! January 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DSK08 Needs some minor improvements The following suggestions, hopefully, will prompt improvements for future sales. The bed is to high (if you are using the box spring). Bed frame length is not long enough to accomadate blankets or comforters for the cold seasons. Needs to add about 4" to the length. It would be nice if "Cost Plus World Market Team" add a dresser (s) to complete the set. The night stand needs to be taller (29" Tall). Besides for these few suggestions, I love the simplicity, design and color of the bed. August 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JPF Love it! The bed frame is incredibly sturdy and surprisingly easy to set up. The quality is quite good for the price. I was worried about not being able to use my box spring- but the wood slats that hold up the mattress are very sturdy. The only complaint is that there is no matching dresser!!!! June 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by kk Love it! I bought this bed + two night stands + a bench that isn't in the collection but almost matches perfectly. I really wanted a matching dresser but bought the other pieces, anyway. I wanted something in between white and dark wood and this was the perfect solution! I am still holding out hope that they do add a dresser! :) April 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by shopper I highly recommend I wish that it came with a dresser April 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lauren Wonderful but needs a matching dresser Please add a dresser and this set would be perfect! April 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jen love it, love it, love it! i agree about the missing dresser, but i bought it anyway... it was super easy to put together, seems to be super sturdy, so far, and exactly the right height for getting in and out of (minus our box spring). it will be interesting to see if they come out with more pieces if it becomes a big seller. in addition to the tallboy dresser idea, i would also like to see larger end tables. April 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mom of two Would buy it Would definitely buy it if there was a matching tall chest of drawers and desk. April 5, 2012

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Children have many problems with their ears, nose, and throat. In fact, more than 80 percent of children will experience an ear infection by age three. Often, these problems can be cared for by your child's physician.
Depending on your child's situation, your child's physician may refer him or her to an otolaryngologist for specialty care. Otolaryngology is the medical specialty that focuses on disorders of the ear, nose, and throat. They are also known as ENT physicians.
ENT physicians may help treat your child with certain problems such as ear infections, hearing loss, breathing problems, or sinus problems. ENT physicians may also be involved if your child needs ear tubes or tonsil surgery.

There are no Upcoming Shows listed for this comedian.
Comedy Central Certified
Tracy Morgan
Currently starring on NBC's Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning "30 Rock," Morgan appears opposite Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin as "Tracy Jordan," the unpredictable star of Lemon's (Fey) hit variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." In 2009 Morgan received his first Emmy Nomination for this role, in the Supporting Actor category; he has in four past years also been nominated for a Supporting Actor NAACP Image Award. The "30 Rock" cast has also won the Screen Actors Guild Award for "Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series."
This year was another busy one for Morgan. In April, he was heard in the animanated film RIO, as the bulldog Luiz. Morgan next tackled the drama THE SON OF NO ONE with Al Pacino and Channing Tatum. The crime-thriller based on a young cop battling a secret from his past that could destory his family was selected to be a part of this year's Sundance Film Festival and will be out in November. Morgan recently wrapped production on his next film, PREDISPOSED, which also stars Jesse Eisenberg and Melissa Leo.
In 2009 Morgan made his animation debut lending his voice for Jerry Bruckheimer's G-FORCE, a combination live-action/CG film. Morgan starred as "Blaster," one of the highly trained secret agent guinea pigs dispatched to save the world. The film opened number one in US box offices and was celebrated by audiences worldwide. That year Morgan also starred in COP OUT and the remake of the British film DEATH AT A FUNERAL.
Another milestone for Morgan was reached in 2009 with the release of his first book, a compilation of studied anecdotes and some of the more serious moments that shaped him and his career entitled I Am The New Black. He also headlined the famed "New York Comedy Festival" which featured acclaimed comedians including Bill Maher, Andy Samberg, and Patton Oswalt, among others. Lastly, Morgan rounded out his list of great comedic achievements with his first HBO Special, "Black & Blue" which aired in the fall.
As a stand-up comic who has headlined across the country, Morgan was first introduced to television audiences in his role as "Hustleman" on the hit comedy series "Martin." He went on to join "Saturday Night Live" in 1996 where he appeared for seven seasons and created such memorable characters as "Astronaut Jones" and "Brian Fellows." After leaving SNL, Morgan went on to star in his own comedy series "The Tracy Morgan Show" and voiced "Spoonie Luv" on Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers." Additional film credits include: Dimension Films' SUPERHERO MOVIE, FIRST SUNDAY opposite Ice Cube and Katt Williams, THE LONGEST YARD opposite Adam Sandler, the Wayan's brothers LITTLE MAN, JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK AND HEAD OF STATE.
Morgan currently resides in New Jersey.

text: Hunter, the silencer laws we have here were passed in 1934, during the tail end of the "Gangster Era" when the papers were filled with stories of daily killings during bank robberies, bootleggers getting into firefights with police, etc. In those days, silencers were seen as the tool of the assassin or hitman trying to avoid notice. Public opinion and certainly opinions among lawmakers have changed little since then. Look at popular movies like the James Bond series and similar, movies depicting hitmen, etc. and they all use silencers for the express purpose of killing silently. I can't think of a single mainstream movie where they were used for recreational purposes, other than maybe a bored hitman using one to "target practice" in his hotel room while awaiting further instructions. Same for books, the silencer equipped pistol or "sniper rifle" is standard fare for every writer out there. Sadly, outside of those arenas, few people have actual experience with suppressors. You can go to almost any range here today, screw a can on the end of your gun, and at least 90% of the people there will think you are breaking the law and are a criminal of some sort. I know of at least one guy who got so tired of having to educate patrons, range personnell, and the cops who were called on him that his stuff was legal that he simply sold all his stuff for a huge loss and bought some ear plugs.

The song will be on her upcoming album, Air, Light. For a look into where the song originally came from, take a listen to her Songs For Sunsets + Dream Suite EP below.

30th Birthday/Favorite Things Party (22 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
My girlfriends and I are turning 30 this year. I wanted to do something different for my birthday where we could celebrate all of us. So I hosted a 30th birthday/favorite things party!
How it worked: Each person thought of a $10 item they love. They brought 3 of that same item. Each person's wine glass had a number 1-12 at the bottom and I had numbers 1-12 folded up in a bowl. The first guest to arrive at the party had the honors of drawing a number from the bowl first. Whoever's number she drew, she received their favorite thing. Then that person drew a number from the bowl and received that person's favorite thing and so forth. Everyone explained their gifts as they were given out. We repeated the drawing from 1-12 three times so everyone went home with three different favorite things!
I embellished plain white gift bags so everyone could take their new favorite things home. Since the party was to celebrate all our birthdays, every bag included a simple {~$10} gift that I specifically picked out for each long-time friend.
In addition to their favorite things, I also requested everyone bring a favorite appetizer, drink or dessert. We enjoyed a delicious spread of food as we reminisced about the past 15+ years.
After our bellies were full, we played a quick little game of Guess What Year?! I displayed an old picture of me and each guest. The person that guessed the most years (and places) correctly was the winner! I love that I've known each of these girls anywhere from 9 to 27 years ago!
It was a fun and different girls night in with plenty of food, drinks, laughter, memories and new favorite things!

Bremen Travel guide
Bremen : Michelin's recommendations
Today renowned for its beer (Beck's) and once popularised by the tales of the Grimm brothers, Bremen, the city of cotton and coffee, is an industrial port which has managed to retain a pleasant appearance with its varied architectural styles (Renaissance, Art Nouveau, Art Deco). The banks of the River Weser are ideal for a stroll, and the old fishermen's quarter, the Schnoor, with its bistros, studios and restaurants, has a bustling atmosphere. The Marktplatz is a favourite meeting place with locals and is particularly lively.
