There's some chocolatiers that can do no wrong in my mind and Christopher Norman Chocolates is one of them. I originally discovered them last year at the New York City Chocolate Show where I was graciously given some of their signature bonbons to try. Aside from the fact that I was blown away by the incredible quality and flavor, I was also drawn to the acute artistic sense that was applied to the bonbons. Christopher Norman was a painter before becoming a chocolatier and he now combines his two passions to create chocolates with his modern sense of painterly design. The result? Well, for my taste buds at least, everything is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Dark Chocolate and Blood Orange: These bars are beautifully wrapped and neatly folded in gold foil. I was surprised to find the bar was not a singular slab, but made of six filled connected squared sections. It smells mainly of the dark chocolate and hardly any scent of orange at all. It you concentrated enough you can detect a little, but it's very, very faint. The inside is a chocolate filling that has a unique texture: think of it as a cooled, soft, not very dense ganache. The blood orange flavor is pronounced with a lovely fresh and very real orange flavor that's not to sweet and delivers the perfect amount of tartness. It balances beautifully with the rich, complex dark chocolate and it really a masterpiece to taste. This is a great sophisticated bar if you're looking for a chocolate orange comibination, but don't want to restort to something cheap and artificial like Terry's Chocolate Orange.
White Chocolate Lemon Crisp: This bar also follows the same format with six squared sections as opposed to one large bar. It's a wonderfully creamy white color and just beautiful to look at. The white chocolate is the most delicate I've ever tasted, and by that I mean that's it's not overly sweet or bursting with vanilla like most of the other white chocolates I've had. This is subtly sweet, very creamy, and you can taste the creaminess of the cocoa butter.
Of course, this is all lightly accentuated by a hint of lemon. It's amazing how the flavor is incorporated since I think "white chocolate" when I eat this, not "oohh, this is lemon flavored". The flavor is mixed in and balanced so well, that it just makes the white chocolate stronger and more natural tasting. It reminds me of how just a hint of lemon can really brighten a cheesecake, and this is a similar thing. The crisps are like bits of corn flakes and provide a nice texture to the bar and thankfully they do not compete with the chocolate. The amount is perfect too: not too little not too many and it isn't like a Nestle crunch at all, thankfully.
I just love this bar, because it managed to find elements that compliment the white chocolate rather than hide it, which is what I find most companies do. Christopher Norman managed to find a way to add ingredients that allowed the white chocolate to shine and really show how good it can be when done right.
Words fail me in describing how much I loved these. I cannot wait to make it back to the Christopher Norman store so I can buy more of these and sample some of their other flavors. Do yourself a favor and get your hands on these chocolate bars.

Killing of DeBary chickens increases support for family's plea
Published: Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 7:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 7:35 p.m.
DEBARY — The family fighting for the right to keep a small flock of chickens as part of their autistic child's therapy hopes the killing of four of their birds won't be in vain.
The four chickens — two hens and two juveniles — were found beheaded about 9 a.m. Saturday at the home of Ashleigh and Joseph Hart. They kept the flock of chickens for their 2-year-old son, J.J., who calls them his "ducks."
While Volusia County sheriff's deputies have no leads on the killer or killers, the family has received an outpouring of support on its Facebook page, Save JJ Hart's Ducks, and at an online petition page called change.org.
"We've had amazing support," Ashleigh Hart said. "A mom and daughter came by to express their support and the mayor (Bob Garcia). He's great when it comes to the citizens. The mayor signed (the petition). It's a huge show of support."
The online petition (www.change.org/petitions/debary-florida-city-council-allow) gained 82 signatures Sunday as word of the slaughter got out through news sources and social media. A responding deputy told Hart that the heads had been cut clean off, and that it did not appear to be an animal attack.
"I just read what happened to your chickens in the paper, I am so sorry for the loss of your sons beloved pets," one woman posted on Facebook.
Others who posted on the website said they were sickened that someone would harm the chickens.
"I have emailed letters to the mayor and to each council member," another wrote. "(I am) hoping you can get a new chick-duck for your son."
The Harts on Wednesday got a 60-day reprieve from the city's code enforcement board, which delayed the potential $100-per-day fines under the current law.
"This happens just two to three days after the hearing," said Ashleigh Hart. "Well, there are a lot of people I don't trust these days.
Garcia criticized DeBary council members for not taking action at its Sept. 5 public hearing that could have allowed for chickens to be made an exception to the Land Development Code.
"They lit the fire," he said by phone Sunday. "They lit the fire that the chickens didn't matter, and of the chickens being killed."
Ashleigh Hart, at that meeting, asked not to be written off for the sake of her son.
"We have one of the babies left and six hens," Ashleigh Hart said Sunday. "Silky, the rooster, we don't know if he will survive."
She said one of the juvenile chickens had been a favorite of her son's, but the surviving one seems, so far, to be a good substitute.
"I don't think he has the ability to realize that any of them are missing," she said, noting that she has kept the youngster inside the house. "In this one respect, I'm glad that he's special needs."

Ireland Did The Right Thing
And by releasing Dan Carpenter now, Jeff Ireland not only proved to be a General Manager conscious of the bottom line, but more importantly, he proved to be a man of integrity.
He could have kept Carpenter in camp for another week or two as an expensive insurance policy just in case rookie kicker Caleb Sturgis implodes during the preseason.
But no, Ireland did the right thing.
Not only does this move show Sturgis that the Dolphins have all the confidence in the world in him, it also shows Carpenter how much respect they have for him by allowing him plenty of time to compete for a job with another team in the league.
Well done Jeff Ireland and fair sailing to you Dan Carpenter.

This is true. I'm glad Jeff Ireland is getting better press these days.
By the way, you history of Dolphins insignias has a slight error. The first few years of the Dolphins, they had a big Dolphin in front of the sun, then they went with the smaller Dolphin maybe about the time of Don Shula's arrival, then went back to the bigger Dolphin as you say here, in 1974. If you look at pictures of people like Rick Norton, you'll see that I am right.
Best wishes,
Rob H
Rob I am sure Dave will take notice of your comment about the logos. He just may not have had enough room on the banner without cluttering it up.
Keep reading and sharing your thoughts and ideas.
Good eye Rob. You must be a true fan.
The logo has certainly had many changes over the years. Some bigger and some subtle. I was attempting to show the major changes and the evolution over time.
So I designed the logo accordingly. And as Carl notes, space was a driving factor.
That said if anyone has the detailed logo evolution and wants to share, I'd be happy to create a post about it. And you get your name in lights.

Boyce Wins Pair During Final Home Meet, But Tigers Fall 165-131 To Columbia
In her final competitive swims at DeNunzio Pool, Princeton senior Lisa Boyce won two individual events and one relay, though those wouldn't be enough to help the Tigers win their regular season finale over Columbia. The Lions continued their perfect Ivy League dual season with a 165-131 win over Princeton Friday afternoon.
Boyce, a seven-time Ivy League individual champion, won the 50 free in 23.15, and she followed with a 100 free win in 50.87. She defeated freshman teammate Katie Diller (51.41) in the 100, and both teamed with sophomore Nikki Larson and freshman Olivia Chan to win the 200 free relay in 1:34.23. That time topped the field by more than a full second, and assured Boyce to be a winner in her final home event.
Larson led off the 200 free relay, and she was also Princeton's first individual winner of the day. The sophomore, who swept the fly events during the H-Y-P meet last weekend, won the 200 free in 1:50.80.
Princeton opened the meet with a third-place finish in the 200 medley, as Chan teamed with sophomores Sada Stewart and Morgan Karetnick, as well as senior Laura Slater, for a time of 1:44.50.
The freshman duo of Rebecca Fleming (10:11.85) and Isabel Shipman (10:12.18) went 3-4 in the 1000, while Boyce (54.22) and Stewart (56.70) were both Top 4 finishers in the 100 back. Chan went 1:07.00 for fourth in the 100 breast, while sophomore Beverly Nguyen finished third in the 200 fly in 2:02.07. Stewart took fourth in the 200 back (2:05.12), while Chan took third in the 200 breast (2:19.45).
The first freshman winner of the day was Fleming, who edged out Columbia's Mallory McKeon to win the 500 free in 4:57.03. Shipman added another fourth-place finish in 5:00.74. Larson followed with a third-place finish in the 100 fly (55.01), while Nguyen took third in the 200 IM in 2:06.01.
The Tigers did have very strong showings off the boards Friday afternoon, starting with a win from freshman Caitlin Chambers on the 3-meter board. Chambers won with 304.43 points, while senior Randi Brown took second with 270.31 points. In the 1-meter event, sophomore Helen Zitkovsky took the win with 257.09 points, while Chambers finished second with 249.67 points.
Princeton, the reigning Ivy League champion, finished its regular season with a 4-3 league mark, but it will now focus all attention on the biggest weekend of the season. Winners of 11 of the last 14 league titles, the Tigers will head to Providence in two weeks for the 2014 Ivy League Championships.

For those of you unfamiliar with genre, these guys are the Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant of their respective sports. So, when Baldock raved about the dirt course at the EnergySolutions Arena, where the competition is happening now through Sunday, we knew there'd be some impressive things going down. "These are the biggest jumps I've ever seen," he said. "Seriously."
Not all the action is happening on the jumps and ramps, though. Check out the festival village set up between the arena and dirt park and pick up some schwag from companies like Mongoose, Pantech, and, of course, Mountain Dew. Carey Hart's FMX team is also in town and will participate in the Speed and Style comp Friday (yes, tonight) at 7:30. The evening's festivities will culminate immediately after the motocross event in a concert by Orem's own The Used.

Student success programs
Many students are challenged by college classes or need to learn how to manage their time for the independent learning required. UNT offers many resources to help students succeed in their college classes. For help outside of the classroom, each residence hall has student RAs (resident assistants) who can help ease the transition from home and guide freshmen. Your student can also seek help from the residence hall director, the dean of students or the First Year Experience program. The key is asking for help.
Paying for college
Tuition costs are a big part of planning for college – and a big concern. UNT offers families an innovative solution to rising college costs with the Eagle Express Tuition Plan. Eagle Express is more than a tuition plan, it's a plan for success.

UNT offers a full-service primary care clinic, with full-time physicians, nurse practitioners and nurses to manage your child's care and treatment.
Visit us
We encourage you to visit the campus and take a guided tour. You'll find out what UNT offers, become familiar with the campus and have a chance to ask our student tour guides questions.

...If Happy Happy has anything to add, wife-swapping, political incorrectness and board games'll be all the rage too.
The feature debut of Norwegian director Anne Sewitsky creates a kind of key-party-meets-The-Shining vibe in a dead-of-winter tale about two stagnating couples living next door to one another trying to find love and meaning in between sips of coffee, sub-zero runs and cloying pleasantries which fail to mask the seething mess of relationships crumbling.
Kaja (Agnes Kittelsen), a simpleton schoolteacher whose attractiveness is fading in time with her self esteem, resides in the country outside a small town with her husband, the no-frills/shut off Eirick and their misogynist toe-headed preteen son.
When tall/athletic/dashing Sigve and his too-stunning statuesque blond lawyer wife Elisabeth move in next door from the city with their adopted Ethiopian son, Noa, the worlds of city/country folk literally collide against a leafless winter backdrop.
In Kaja, Sigve finds an admirer - he is but a lingering memory of relevance in his wife's eyes. From their first dinner party encounter, Kaja's need to be loved intertwines with his need to be taken seriously. A doomed affair ensues, but because of Eirick's wanton homosexual trysts under the guise of hunting trips and Elisabeth's checkered past with fidelity, Sewitsky lures viewers into rooting on Kaja and Sigve in their quest to be understood and admired.
The script by Ragnhild Tronvoll brings the vitriol between the unlikely new pairs in the quartet to a quick boil - backlit by the little boys, growing uneasy with the parents' struggle, tripping through a rising stakes game of master and African slave - all crescendos. When else? ...Christmas Eve.
Both Sewitsky and Tronvoll seem destined for big-budget success and Happy Happy's got a shot at an art house tour if this year's Sundance economy continues its early trend back to fiscal health.
This year's fest portends mainstream film careening toward honest discourse in relationships - rather, honesty in dialogue and characters who live in the small moments. Should this come true, Happy Happy, like Norway, is a step ahead.

We are a small team of 4 devs rather green in Scrum. Coming from all over the country, we often take odd days off or whole weeks off to go home. Therefore our team capacity changes dramatically from one iteration to another due to annual leaves, which leads to very different velocities from one iteration to another. How do we account for team capacity when estimating velocity at the Planning Meeting? Historical data will reflect very different capacities and we cannot wait one whole year to derive an average for our estimate velocity.
It might be a simple approach, but why don't you calculate your velocity as
However, this makes some potentially dangerous assumptions, such as treating all employees as equal - if your most junior developer takes a week off or the developer with the most experience in the domain and/or technologies takes a week off, your capacity will be the same numeric value, but the impact on velocity would probably be different.
Ultimately, use professional judgement based on historical data when planning a sprint. In this case, use previous velocity as an input into some other estimation scheme, involving the team. I would also err on the side of caution - it's easier to pull more work into a sprint than it is to remove a commitment to do a task.
Velocity can vary even if capacity remains same.
So just trust your velocity it will take care of varying capacity itself i.e. assuming you are into 3rd sprint, take average of the last two completed sprints to commit to the next sprint. do not worry about variance in capacity.
Velocity is a guide, not a measure. Just take the average of all your sprints (account for standard deviation) and the average of your worst three, the average of your best three and say "We'll definately get these done, we might get these done, we won't get these done." By drawing three lines through your (fully estimated) backlog using these three velocities and your rough deadline (pretend it's 12 sprints and 12x your worst velocity is 75, 12x your best is 120 and 12x your average is 90. In a backlog of 100 points, even at your worst, you could do three quarters of it, at your best you'd nail the whole thing and on average, you'd deliver most of it).
With this data, your PO can make all the decisions he needs in what he MUST have, we he would like to have and what he doesn't mind leaving out.
Ultimate, things change, requirements are emergent and, well, things will change again. Don't bust your chops on maths to get a specific figure, accurate ranges are enough for this kind of thing. Bust your chops on software problems, not on backlog maths.

Westdyke Memorial Hospital
The Westdyke Memorial Hospital is a medical facility in Grand Theft Auto IV, located on Long John Avenue in Leftwood, northern Alderney.
Oddly, the hospital is named for the Westdyke neighborhood in Alderney, but is actually situated in the Leftwood neighborhood, similar to the North Tudor Medical Center, which is actually situated in Acter.
Like other hospitals in the game, the Westdyke Memorial Hospital serves as a respawn point to the player if they are killed the nearest to the hospital. The hospital is also notable for featuring an interior shared with the Schottler Medical Center, having been used in one mission, where the player is required to sneak into the hospital and kill a target (who is under heavy police protection). Like the Schottler Medical Center, the hospital's interior is similarly ideal as a hiding spot for long shootouts with law enforcements.
In the Stevie's Car Thefts, a unique coloured Cavalcade can be found over the road in a driveway of a large house, next to a children's play area.
Deaths in the hospital
- Anthony Corrado - Jimmy Pegorino's best guard until he betrayed Jimmy. Pegorino then ordered Niko to take out Corrado.
- Depending on actions the player takes, a heavy amount of LCPD officers, the same mission that killed Corrado.

About Me Stylish
My daughter-in-law really likes this dragonfly brooch, and she has dozens of them. The dragonfly has a special, spiritual meaning for her. She wears these brooches on special occasions and keeps them in a special display case. The are quite beautiful and well made: a good buy, in my estimation.

Beautiful, but faulty
By Beauty lover
from OR
Lovely to wear, once I can get the clasp to work - received it somewhat broken - I have to really work at putting it on - then hope it won't come open - don't want to return it because it is out of stock, so I can't get a replacement, and otherwise I love it.

I would say Sceptile, but sinc eI can only have one, Braviary. Flying around would be LEGIT
I would say Sceptile, but sinc eI can only have one, Braviary. Flying around would be LEGIT
I make Pokemon YouTube videos. You should watch them ^-^
MandJTV Pokevids
A charizard!!!!!! Awesome fiery power and flight! Yeah, awesomeness!
I'm sorta back
While I'd always love to talk about anything pokemon, I will only be using the 6th gen Wifi section for a while out of efficiency in my life, unfortunately
My 3DS friend code is 0576 3520 6954
could work but may still be a struggle imagine carrying appx. a third of your weight? For example if you're 60 kilos or 132 lbs. it wouldn't be easy to plop 20 kilos or 44 libs. on your back and then practically run around and cart that weight from Virbank City to Humilau City.
Dragonite, Lugia, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyureum and mantine if it could fly would be your best bets.
For me Starmie obviusly!
Or maybe Heracross who is also my favourite (yes favourite to me encompasses two things)
ORAS? I'm excited
Dragonite, for my personal bodyguard.
And maybe Ditto so that it could copy my DREAM girlfriend and do ecchi things with her! <3
Probably Dragonite, flying to you destination seems quite handy :P
So a Dragonite will do. That, or I should get a car.
I would have a Phione or Meloetta for legendaries, because who wouldn't want to cuddle a Phione?! Seriously. XD and Meloetta because she can listen to music with me and she can sing and play instruments with me. A fun roomate.
As for regular pokemon i would probably have a Flareon, Chandelure, or a Mienshao. Flareon, because he would keep me warm on cold nights, Chandelure so i never need a flashlight, and Mienshao to protect me. Plus she looks epic. ;P
ORAS? I'm excited
definitely Gardevoir either shiny or not if not Gardevoir then Espeon or Umbreon.
life is too short to worry about others opinions live how you want to live and be yourself, not how other expect or want you to be.
As a companion, I'd probably just choose one of my favorites. Probably something in it's 1st or 2nd stage fdue space issues. Chimchar/Monferno, Aipom, Pansage, Shinx, or maybe even a Pidgey.
Though, if I were going for utility over companionship, Skarmory or Metagross would both be sweet to Fly/Ride around on.
My Hitmonchan, Sertorius. He and I have been through hell together, five regions, more gym-leaders than I can be arsed to count, and so many other enemies. I do love my Hitmonchan. Don't know what I'd do with him, probably spoil him with treats and let him nap until late in the day.
I will be on here very, very rarely. The account is not dead, per se, but I will not be on often. This has become a den of hatred, hostility, and anger. It is not the SPPF it was when I joined, and I really dislike coming here. To those of you who were nice to me and were my friend, thank you. Goodbye.

Before you try to act superior to someone else on here, remember that no matter how much of an "internet cool-guy" you think you are, this is a Pokemon forum.
Hummm... my first impulse is gengar but I can't ride on one, so I'd have to say dragonite, just because it's so diverse. It can do anything, fly, surf, smash stuff, electrocute stuff, light stuff on fire, freeze stuff, control the weather... literally anything. C: Of course, it looks adorable, which is both a positive and a negative - people can underestimate it until it beats them up. Best part would just be I could ride it wherever I wanted.
a fire type I could cuddle with or gardevoir.
Top 3 (well 4) in order
1: Chikorita
2: Espeon/Leafeon
3: Umbreon
Since I cannot have a real life otter as pet, I would settle down for Dewott or Buizel as my companion.
Loves Cats and Foxes - I listen to Folk Metal, Viking Metal, Death Metal - Gordon Ramsey Fan - My Fave Pokemon
My Double Battles Team: Mega
PokeMustelid - PokeFoxes - PokeFelines - PokeRaccoons - PokeSquirrels!
Mew. I love cats. Mew is like having an immortal, psychic kitten. That can fly.
Either Buizel, Lucario, Oshawott, Mudkip, Corphish or Sceptile.
Too hard to decide!
Joltik because it's small so it wouldn't be obvious that I own a pokemon because pokemon don't exist and if people found out I owned one they would probably stay away from me and that would just be terrible wouldn't it
Eelektross, because they are adorable and I wouldn't have to keep it in an aquarium and it could probably swim in the pool/bathtub if it wanted. ^.^
...This is a tricky problem, huh. I really, really want to see the other Heroes... and if it works out, I want to make friends with them! If I made friends with six Heroes, Id be an awesome mage! We could even conquer the world!
-Flatt Escardos, Fate Strange Fake3DS Friend Code: 1306-5187-6204

I'd like an eevee, I always liked the idea of a pokémon on my shoulder :3. Otherwise I would like to have mew, I mean why walk if you teleport? And mew is just too adorable ~

January Bee Blocks
Do. Good Stitches
For my first month with Do. Good Stitches (a charity bee), I got to make Mod Mosaic blocks ... for Ms. Mod Mosaic herself, Elizabeth Hartman. I was pretty excited when I found out I'd be sending blocks to Elizabeth. I've probably learned more from her blog and tutorials than from any other single blogger. And I'm always inspired by her incredible designs.
Elizabeth asked for blocks in wintery shades of blue and gray, with at least one bright solid thrown in. And I just love how these turned out. Mod Mosaic is now on my short list of blocks to request when it's my month in my other bees. But in the meantime, I get to send these two off to Elizabeth to include in a quilt for Wrap Them In Love—how cool! Here's Elizabeth's Mod Mosaic tutorial if you'd like to try out this block for yourself.
{Sew} Beautiful Bee
You saw my trial run here. Now here's the real deal for Cherie. I loved working with the Soul Blossom prints, especially in this design. But I struggled a bit with appliqueing the dresden onto the background fabric. It just didn't want to lie flat, no matter what I did. I didn't have this issue with my practice dresden—maybe because I was sewing it onto a background that was already quilted? Maybe because I was using a blanket stitch instead of straight? I don't know.
At any rate, I hope this one's okay with Cherie. And yesterday I spotted this dresden, made by Julie at Jaybird Quilts. It looks fairly equivalent to mine, which made me feel much better about my block! If a dresden made by the talented Julie isn't lying quite flat either, then mine must be acceptable, right? : )
String Me Along
I got to do a lovely string x block for Linda, using some of her fun scraps. This block is gigantic—18" square—and came together much quicker and more easily than I thought it would. Another great block design to have under my belt.

Awesome blocks, especially those for Do Good Stitches - what is that bright blue you used for your solid? I really love it. I also really love those Erin McMorris bikes, they're so cute :) I had the same problem with the dresdens, but once you wash them, they look perfect, so no worries. BTW, you totally rocked that String X block, it lined up way better than mine!

I love your Do Good Stitches block as well. I'm so tempted to make a quilt from this style. It just looks great.

I really like all three of these! I was surprised too about how quickly the string X block came together, especially for being such a big block in the end! I'm with Elizabeth, yours lined up much nicer than mine!
I was already planning to do the mosaic block when my month comes around in String Me Along, but that's not until February 2012!

Amazing blocks. I know what you mean about learning so much from Elizabeth Hartman. She is an amazing designer.
All your blocks are super cool. I am planning a dresden using Parisville. A teensy bit worried about it now but I'll give it a try anyway.

I love the top blocks! They're beautiful! That fabric is great.

You could try fusing the dresden down first. You can even use glue stick or pins. If something seems really wonky, then you may have to adjust a seam or two.
Thanks for the Binding 123 tutorial compliment! And it was so nice to see your fave on Gen X! You always look so happy Lee! ; ) I'm on a mission to get my studio as junk-free as yours!! : )

"My kids leave out at least one cupcake for Santa on Christmas Eve," shares Sharon Skildum from Maple Grove, Minnesota.
- 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
- 1 can (16 ounces) or 2 cups vanilla frosting, divided
- Red gel or paste food coloring
- Miniature marshmallows, chocolate chips, Red Hots candies and flaked coconut
- Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for cupcakes. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- Place 2/3 cup frosting in a small bowl; tint with red food coloring. Set aside 3 tablespoons white frosting for decorating. Cover two-thirds of the top of each cupcake with remaining white frosting. Frost the rest of cupcake top with red frosting for hat. Place reserved white frosting in a small heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a 1/4-in. hole in one corner.
- On each cupcake, pipe a line of frosting to create fur band of hat. Press a marshmallow on one side of hat for pom-pom. Under hat, place two chocolate chips for eyes and one Red Hot for nose. Gently press coconut onto face for beard. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.

When you finish working on a project, you can publish the project as a movie. A movie is a Windows Media file with a .wmv file name extension or an Audio-Video Interleaved (AVI) file with an .avi file name extension. When you publish a movie in Windows Movie Maker, you can share it with others in a number of ways—through your computer, on a recordable CD, on a recordable DVD, as an attachment in an e‑mail message, or on videotape in a DV camera.
Click File, click Publish Movie.
Click This computer, and then click Next.
In the File name box, type a name for your movie.
In the Publish to box, choose where you want to save your movie once it's published, and then click Next.
Choose the settings you want to use to publish your movie, and then click Publish.
If you want to watch your movie after it has been published, select the Play movie when I click Finish check box.
Click Finish.
To publish and burn a movie to a DVD, you must have Windows DVD Maker, which is included in Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Vista Home Premium. You also need a DVD burner.
Insert a blank recordable or rewritable DVD into your DVD burner.
Open a project in Windows Movie Maker.
Click File, and then click Publish Movie.
Click DVD, and then click Next. Windows DVD Maker opens.
Complete the steps to create a DVD using Windows DVD Maker.
Insert a blank recordable CD or a rewriteable CD into your CD burner.
Click Recordable CD, and then click Next.
In the CD Name box, type a name for the CD, and then click Next.
To publish and burn the movie to another recordable CD, select the Publish this movie to another recordable CD check box, and then click Next. Replace the recordable CD with another recordable CD, and then repeat steps 4 through 6.
Click E‑mail, and then click Next.
After the movie is published, do any of the following:
To play the movie in your default player before sending it, click Play the movie.
To save a local copy of the movie on your computer in addition to sending it as an e‑mail attachment, click Save a copy of my movie on my computer, enter a movie file name in the File name box, and then click Save.
To attach the movie to an e‑mail message, click Attach Movie.
In your default e‑mail program, enter the e‑mail address of the person you are sending the movie to, add any additional text to the body, and then send the message.
Switch your digital video (DV) camera on and verify that it is in playback mode (often labeled VCR on the camera).
Click File, and then click Publish Movie
Click Digital video camera, and then click Next.
If you have more than one digital video device powered on and detected by Windows Movie Maker, on the Choose a digital video camera page, choose the digital video device that contains the videotape to which you want to record your movie, and then click Next.
When you see the Cue your tape page, using the transport controls on your camera, rewind or fast-forward the tape to the point where you want your movie to be recorded, and then click Next.
You should verify that you are not overwriting a portion of the tape that contains recorded video you want to keep.
To begin recording your movie back to tape, click Yes.
Wait for your movie to be published and then recorded to the videotape. The time it takes to create and record the movie to tape depends on the length of the movie and the system resources on your computer. You can preview the movie in the LCD display of your DV camera as your movie is recorded to tape.
Windows Movie Maker uses a temporary file storage location in the following ways:
When you publish a movie, the audio or movie file is held in the temporary file location until the file is published.
When you record an audio narration, a temporary file is stored in the temporary file storage location, and then removed after the audio file is saved.
When you publish a movie that you want to attach to an e‑mail message, a copy of the movie file is stored in the temporary file location until the movie is sent successfully.
When you send a movie to a tape in a digital video (DV) camera, the temporary movie file that is created is stored in this location until the movie is recorded to the tape.
You can change the default file storage location in Windows Movie Maker. For example, you might want to do this if you have a storage location that has more available disk space. If your hard disk has two partitions, you may want to choose the drive that has more storage space.
Click Tools, and then click Options.
Click the General tab, and then in the Temporary storage box, choose the default location where you want your temporary audio and movie files to be saved temporarily.
You can choose not to include information such as the title, author, copyright, rating, and comments in your published movie files. If you not to include this information, your name and other metadata information is not displayed when you or someone else plays back your movie in a media player.
For more information about entering information about your project and final published movie, see Add a title, author name, and description for a movie.
For more information about Windows Movie Maker features that also affect your privacy, see the Windows Movie Maker Privacy Statement online.
To choose not to include metadata in your finished movie, do the following:
Click the General tab, and then select or clear the Do not include the title, author, copyright, rating, and comments information in the published movie file check box, depending on whether you want personally identifiable information to be removed with the published movie file.

ZF-10535: Dispatcher Problem with extraneous characters
I am not sure if this is a bug, but at least it needs to be properly documented.
I just noticed that ZF's standard dispatcher behaves differently from what I would have expected with extraneous characters in the action name such as -/+/.
For example, if I add a dash to the action name, e.g. "/foo/bar-", I do not get a Zend_Controller_Plugin_ErrorHandler::EXCEPTION_NO_ACTION error, but instead, the barAction() method is called, and only afterwards ZF fails with a Zend_View_Exception: 'script 'foo/bar-.phtml' not found in path.
This is apparently due to the method Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Abstract::_formatName silently stripping out all non-alphanumeric characters.
This is very unexpected and may at least disrupt error handling (resulting e.g. in an 'internal error' instead of 'file not found'), and potentially may have security implications if not properly handled.
- is this the expected behaviour?
- is it documented?
- how can I handle this properly? Do I have to write my own dispatcher (I would rather not)?

The Eastern High School football team made an effort Friday at Brownstown Central, but came up short to the Braves, 51-26.
The Delaney Creek Park Board held a special meeting Tuesday evening at the county court house to accept the resignation of Park Manager Chris Strange.
The board met in executive session at 7:30 p.m., holding a public meeting immediately following at 8 p.m.
Board President Chuck Williams opened the meeting and then turned it over to attorney Drew Wright. Wright said Strange gave notice of his resignation Sept. 28, with an effective date of December 31, 2010.
The board approved the resignation unanimously.
