If readers took this column's suggestion for a look at the 2005 "King Kong" earlier this week, they might be intrigued to see how another movie maker depicts an "ape victimized by humans and then unleashed in an urban environment" storyline. This summer, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" will be released in theatres. It is the sequel to 2011's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," which is a reboot of the "Planet of the Apes" franchise.
"King Kong" places a single ape in New York, and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is set in San Francisco and stars James Franco as Will Rodman, a scientist who is working hard to find a cure for Alzheimer's, a condition that plagues his father, Charles (played by John Lithgow). Thus he is a slightly more sympathetic character than the driven movie director in "King Kong." Rodman's team of scientists thinks they may find some answers after conducting drug experiments on chimps. But after an experiment goes wrong, Will is nearly fired. He takes the one surviving chimp, Cesar (played by Andy Serkis), home. Exposed to an experimental drug, Cesar grows up to be highly intelligent. He gets into a fight with a neighbor and is taken to a sanctuary. While there, Cesar becomes the leader of the animals and, they start a revolution.
The action scenes and special effects in the film are amazing. Cesar and the other animals all look very realistic. The most effective scene in the movie is the revolution at the end. It is a lot of fun to watch the apes terrorize the cars and people on the Golden Gate Bridge.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has a strong cast. James Franco does very good work as Rodman, a committed scientist who takes a lot of risks. Frida Pinto is also strong as Caroline, a primatologist who, like most women in movies such as "Jurassic Park" and "King Kong," understands better than others how the animals have been victimized by human interlopers. John Lithgow is effective as Charles. He is very authentic as a person with Alzheimer's. The best performance in the movie is given by Andy Serkis. He shows that Cesar is very smart and very tough.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a good choice to watch before seeing "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes."

Green-Roofed Jeju Natural Heritage Center is Carved from South Korea's Volcanic...
BY: Andrew Michler
Start Slideshow
- Natural Heritage Center in JejuJeju is a small volcanic island off the southern coast of South Korea that is home to some of the nation's most beautiful landscapes - including the highest mountain in the country. The diverse and wild land is celebrated in the design of the JejuNatural Heritage Center by architecture firm poly.m.ur. The project's undulating form topped with a green roof mimics the volcanic formations of the island. Rather than being placed in the landscape the Center is formed out of the landscape, providing a unique relationship for visitors who can explore every facet of the building.1
- Natural Heritage Center in JejuFrom above, the center is almost indistinguishable from the landscape, as the stepped green roof tops a pair of undulating wings.2

- Natural Heritage Center in JejuTwo large outdoor pavilions at the entrances serve as natural gathering places.4
- Natural Heritage Center in JejuThe architects describe the project's design principle: "circulation strategy is central to the place-making, which forms a knot creating crossings and loops in, out, and around the roofscape, sunken terraces and the interior spaces."5
- Natural Heritage Center in JejuVisitors enter the building from the terraces as one would enter a cave.6

Secrets of Success
Catapults + Treadmills...
Thursday, January 24, 2013
Boy that's a misleading title, but fun... which is what I had last night. My darling hubby procured the clothespins I needed so I could build my little desktop catapult. What I really wanted for a long time is the USB rocket launcher (
), but at $29.99, I figure I have better uses for my money.
But last week on Facebook, a pattern of a catapult made with clothespins, popsicle sticks, rubber bands, tape, a plastic spoon and binder clips was circulating. It looked totally do-able, so I did (with only a few mods):
It was easy to build and just silly fun in every way. To repay my hubby's love, the first thing I launched with it was a paperclip in his direction. I brought it to work and everybody thought it was great. I must build one for my buddy so we can have wars... or at least so I can launch things at him as he passes my office door.
Also finally gotten my treadmill incline fixed!! It was a pinched wire that was goofed up at initial installation. After 3 trips out, the repair guy got it fixed. I am very very glad that it is working now. It actually got up to a temp that was comfortable enough for me to go to the park and run... and since I'd only been running on the flat treadmill for so long, I chose the flattest part of the trail. But even though the trail only had small inclines, after several miles of that, I could feel it a bit... and it was much harder than running treadmill, to be sure.
So, Sunday and Monday, my calves felt like they had turned into blocks of wood, not so much painful as very STIFF. So I hobbled about the house and managed just a small runs and walks on both days on TM. I took Tuesday off from working out and was glad I just rested my legs for a day. Yesterday evening I got back to the treadmill and did the 500 calorie workout that was on the Daily Spark the other day. It is a great workout! I was dripping with sweat and my legs are going fine today, despite the inclines last night. Just having to rebuild those muscles.
I feel like my whole life right now is about rebuilding muscles... and skills that I've not used in a long time. Being mobilized and living on my own for a year has changed a lot about the way I think and prioritize things in my life. I know I became a lot more selfish, not necessarily in bad ways, but I am more able to stand on my own and know how to depend on myself to get stuff done. So my patience with other's learning curves is much shortened. What is good that I am much more able to say no when I need to to and not let myself get run over by other people.
So there is a lot of learning. I also got back to my old job and found that I just don't quite fit anymore. There are certain incompatibilities, mostly political, that I just can't brush off so easily anymore... and I really need to earn more money. I am getting paid about 50-60% of what I can be making elsewhere. This job came along when I needed it and the pay cut was worthwhile from a stability and routine point of view. But it really is time to move on... and there are at least 3 job openings closer to home that pay more just as I decide to move on. I have applied to 2 of them and will get my 3rd app in ASAP. I hope I get one of them. I think I would enjoy any of them.
So I will keep those inclines coming and catapulting myself into new situations. It's wonderful to have so many opportunities at the age of 47!

R. Kelly Debuts New 'Trapped in the Closet' Chapter Filled With Drama — Video
R.Kelly's dramatic musical mini-series, "Trapped in the Closet," that enthralled viewers the first time around is back for round two. Though it seems impossible for the "Ignition (Remix)" singer to pack more sex, lies, affairs, drugs and violence into the already intense lives of his characters, he plans to do just that.
Pitchfork reports that a press release about the next installment dubs it "a cast of characters interconnected by sexual exploits, quarreling lovers, and a mysterious package." Sounds about right.
What made the first "Trapped in the Closet" so compelling though, despite its frivolity, was the consistent story-telling arch and talent with which R.Kelly delivered the tale. From the looks of things, the second edition will be cut from the same cloth.
Kelly told Billboard that the show could continue infinitely. "'Trapped in the Closet' is forever. I've got like a hundred chapters to come," the singer said. The new chapters also include two new characters: Dr. Perry a marriage counselor and therapist, and Beeno, a gangster "kingpin" figure.
The 20 new chapters will be airing on IFC starting on Black Friday (Nov. 23) at 9PM. IFC has posted a complete character list and all of the old chapters to help get new viewers caught up and old viewers refreshed.
Start catching up on the first 22 chapters and watch Chapter 23 below.

Top U.S. All-Inclusive Resorts Families Will Love
By Nancy Schretter, Editor
All-inclusive family vacations are a top choice for many parents planning family travel and multigenerational family reunions.

Nothing quite announces the advent of the holiday season as much as hearing that The Nutcracker is coming back to town. And this year, the magic of the holidays will be brought to life as Harford Ballet Company presents its performances of The Nutcracker, on Saturday, December 14, 2013 at 6 p.m. and Sunday, December 15 at 3 p.m. at Aberdeen High School.

Harford Ballet Company's The Nutcracker will captivate audiences with the story of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as they battle the evil Rat King in a sword duel and travel to the enchanted Land of the Sweets.

At first, I was reluctant about how secure my goods would be. The instructions were simple and clear. The carrier itself is sturdy and has handled the trip well, even with weather along the way. When I got to my destination, the carrier was easy to clean and easy to store in its original packaging (UNLIKE my sleeping bag lol) Overall, I am very happy with the quality of the item as well as the prompt service. I'm confident this carrier will be a long lasting addition to my travels.

I have used it once, carrying camping supplies for a canoe trip, and it performed just fine. Drove through a hard rain and the contents stayed dry. The strap system is easy to use and seemed very secure. I was able to get a lot of gear into the carrier. The zippers were hard to move around the corners at first, maybe the stiffness will ease over time. Seems like a well-designed system. Time will tell.

I love Abbey, and the Skull Shores version doesn't disappoint!,
= Durability: = Fun: = Educational:
This review is from: Monster High Skull Shores Abbey Bominable Doll (Toy)
First off, check Toys-R-Us, I purchased 2 Skull Shores dolls for the price of one on here (I am a collector, so I shop around A LOT). However, I cannot be more pleased with my purchase!
Abbey is stunning, as usual. I do not own the original version of her and cannot wait to get her! The Skull Shores version is definitely worth owning. Abbey's entire body sparkles in the light. She comes with a pretty purple hat that fits her head perfectly and a slushy drink as an accessory. Her hair is in a side pony, which is bright pink and white, and also equally as sparkly as her skin! She is wearing a one piece suit with a cute little purple wrap around her waist. She is wearing cute little icicle earrings in her ears, and has adorable little purple high-heeled shoes. In my opinion, she is the prettiest one of the entire Skull Shores collection, a must have!

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Rihanna's new mansion brings her closer to Tom Brady. Rihanna's new mansion in Rivas Canyon in Pacific Palisades is also, ironically, close to the Rustic Canyon Fire earlier this year. Rihanna will be further away from Chris Brown in her new mansion but closer to a series of other celebrities.
Rihanna has bought a new home in the Pacific Palisades, insiders tell news. The pop singer is hoping for better luck after losing millions on her last home in Beverly Crest. That previously house leaked from the roof, resulting in several water lawsuits for the Umbrella singer. She bought that house $6.9 million in 2009. Then she sued the agent, inspectors and others in 2011. She eventually sold the house for a $5.03 million loss.
The latest mansion has a peculiar look. Built in 2010, the property features an eleven thousand square foot home, insiders tell news. Boasting seven bedrooms and nine baths, the house was listed for $12 million. Rihanna is said to have paid full asking price.
Rihanna is near Tom Brady and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Brady and his wife recently finished construction on their home. In 2008, LALATE reported that Brady paid $11 million just for his lot. Brady's property is reportedly three acres, while Rihanna's is just over a single acre.

BAY VILLAGE — Throughout the course of the regular season, Medina's girls soccer team played some of the best competition the state had to offer.
Preparing for explosive teams like Magnificat, which the Bees will face tonight at Bay High School in a Division I regional semifinal, is the reason why.
Whether it's up top or from the center midfield, the Blue Streaks (14-4-1) have been putting the ball in the back of the net at a high rate, which has helped them advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2007.
The Bees (13-3-3) have seen talented strikers and highly skilled middies before and will be ready for the challenge.
"Most of the teams we play during the season have 5-6 high-quality players, so this is nothing new," Medina coach Doug Coreno said. "Mags has a lot of talent, but so do we. It's going to take a solid team effort."
The Bees, who are playing in back-to-back regionals for the first time since 1997-98, have found a way to get the job and have been picked up the pace.
Magnificat, however, has overcome three losses in its final four regular-season games to dominate postseason opponents Avon Lake, North Olmsted and Westlake by a combined 13-0 score.
It has done it with a solid possession game and a deep roster. More importantly, the Blue Streaks aren't afraid to take it to opponents.
"They're a very offensive-minded team," Coreno said. "They do a lot of things and are dangerous in the attack, so we need to be ready."
Forward Natalie Coury has led the charge with 14 goals and 12 assists and is fresh off a hat trick in Saturday's 6-0 district final win over Westlake. Combine her explosiveness with the crafty play of center midfielder Jaycie Brown (16 goals, 4 assists) and Magnificat has been nearly impossible to slow down.
Despite her 5-foot stature, Brown has a knack for winning the ball in the air, according to first-year coach Gretchen Micklitsch, and played for the Cleveland United team that won the Under-17 National Championship last summer.
"They have a couple of very active forwards and some skillful playmakers at center mid," Coreno said. "A lot of their players like to go 1v1, but they are just a well-balanced team. We will have to be on our 'A' game."
Another midfielder, sophomore Alyssa Baumbick, is used everywhere from in the center of the pitch to the backline, depending on the opponent, while defender Page Rombach had overcome a broken collarbone in the preseason and a knee injury earlier this month to return to the lineup.
"Our goal is to take them out of their comfort zone," Coreno said. "More than look for their weaknesses, we try and look what they do well and take that away, and if you can do that, it becomes difficult."
The teams will meet on the field at Bay, where Medina hasn't played at since winning its regional semifinal in 2009. That year ended in the Bees marching to the state championship.
While it will be another 10 days before the world knows how this year's Medina team stacks up, Coreno knows the juggernaut schedule it plays has it ready for anything.
"We treat every game during the course of the season as a big game, and we do that to get ready for these moments," he said. "That's the reason for playing the schedule we do, so we're not shell-shocked during a pressed situation.
"It's going to take a solid, unified team effort. (That's) something we do well."

Very good. I can feel myself there at dawn.

I remember flyingI remember having wings as a child. I had wings so large and so strong that they could lift me off the ground. I remember using them to fly.
I flew wherever and whenever I wished. I flew to the Caribbean to fight a pirate with a blade, to the jungles of the amazon as an explorer's aide, to castles in europe to serve a king, to mountains, to the savanna, to the tropics, to the Sahara and to distant lands unexplainable and adventures unbelievable. Once I even went back in time and tamed a dinosaur immediately before I sailed with Christopher Columbus to America. Okay, okay -- I probably went back in time and tamed a dinosaur a bit more than just once but could you blame me?
I remember no boundaries, no limitations to where my wings could take me. My wings took me anywhere I wanted. I was free.
You're probably thinking I'm kidding or maybe you're probably thinking worse -- that I'm a liar? I mean, it's ridiculous isn't it? Listening to a story about childhood wings sounds absurd isn't it?
The Invention of ArtA man can only remember so much. Just enough to learn from past mistakes. A man can only faintly remember his happiness and joy and, at times can only faintly remember his pain and loneliness.
A man wants to remember. It is a need that he himself does not understand why.
A man once told the day's work into song and then at night drew crude pictures on the wall. A man once wrote his thoughts on papyrus and then expressed through music with his instruments. A man once painted his imagination in canvas right before he announced it in poetry. Then a man mastered light and sound and he took pictures and records instead.
A man chooses his medium, ancient or new, and he uses it to express his thoughts, imaginings and most importantly, the emotions of the present that he knows would instantly become past. A man feared he forget, so he invented art.
Art was invented because a man needed to remember. A copy of one moment of the present that has become past, no matter how crude that copy may be,
She sits all alone by the sea
before the empty stretch;
whispered winds wandering through,
without any hope
of a realisation.
The hush of skin on skin,
such submission in her posture
to shimmy past boulders and pebbles alike
into the vast emptiness --
what a wonderful death it is. To drown.
Wooden clunk of boats
rocking against the gentle, rippling tides;
brightly painted sides
and glowing edges
and well-ripened lichen and a lining of barnacles
which soothes the onrushing memories.
Gravel-like hiss of sand on the
sloping route up wooden stairs,
creaky, crumbling boathouse;
faded outlook under grey-blue clouds:
your ship doesn't pass by this place any more.
Maybe that's why these shoes hang,
odd pair as they are,
in these nooses
underneath the water
facing that clear, heavy sky
where we used to walk,
the sun and I.
Heading HomeBitter-boned, I break and crumble to dust
My pockets full of keys to places that no longer exist
An oystershell ashtray full of butts and ashes beside me
Testify to dreams of green hedges and white picket fences
A tapping on the door, a rapping on the wall
Ghosts always like this hour just before dawn
A bird screeches and I wake again to the stinging day
And shufflestep towards home from a thousand worlds away
Evening Poems9 o'clock and
a nightingale song
clatters forth
from a starling winged night
in perfect mimickry.
The moon and her mandrake
baby screech whites,
peel trees to bone. Blacks
shiver down.
The stars meet
at hush- Deaf but eternal
jury. Atlas, stung by
each daughter: a pinhole
truth, still naively serene
after all they've seen: from dove breath
to flame. All
is a curse to the lampbearers.
O sleep,
The moon holds court.
Great judge, her metals bleed
into radiance, cleave twilight to hill.
She bobs socketless
through aether and flame, &
to her gleaming calm
all shadows die. No illusions survive
but reflection, who steeps wood in
moonwhites, petrifying old life into
Moon, chokered-pearl
holds voice at night's throat -
pulls light through sea's veins
and tightens light's rope,
weaving candle across
the skyline to bless
something older than memory,
more tender than breath.
a will o wisp promise
severs reeds
The Lament of MidnightAnd I'm alone, to walk away
into the shadows I forswore
Had I died in my dreams one day
I would be alone from the core
of my sadness that burns in fires
of my darkened dreams, ashen pyres
therein you fled, leaving me, lost
To the ministry of the frost
A Pile of Exiled LeavesLook:
under their father's roots,
oven-baked by progress
they stare at the stars,
ponder over their photosyn thesis'
and wonder where they'll land next.
Dry veins bringing
drought to the cuticle,
the rivers sprawling
like cobwebbed fingers
scratching cellulose into
eczema of the upper epidermis,
dirt-ink sketches bleeding softly
to the frayed edge of
mesophyllic parchment,
where Death took his scissors
and cut oblong hearts
from Life and into
the frigid air.
Dead gold,
curled up in amber wrinkles,
a million Queens of Spades
who played dead for too long.
The Man with a RoseHappy is he, the man with a rose.
Blooming deep red, with an ambient glow.
Loving is he, the man with a rose.
The aroma lifting him off his toes.
Excited is he, the man with a rose.
Giving it to his love, and his feelings, she knows.
Startled is he, the man with a rose.
Waking from a dream. He froze.
Bleak is he, the man with a rose.
Flower, six feet under, it goes.
Ocean EyesYour skin would be lace
Between my fingertips,
Tangling with streams
Of golden sunlight that
Button you up,
Leaving intricate patterns
That tell your secrets
With every thread.
You'd breathe like a mermaid,
The scent of the sea echoing
In our veins,
Like teenage hearts
Pumped full of lust.
Too fast.
Like heels on marble floors,
But you're so
Much closer
Than that.
You're blood in my lungs
And air in my heart,
But I live only
Off the raindrops
That fall from
Your soft, sea-stone eyes
When a smile curves your lips.
The edges
Gathering me,
Unraveling me.
(I carve you in the sand,
But ocean tears
Wash you away.)
Stockholm SyndromeThis morning tastes dry and dusty and alive and
the Australian sun is already pouring
on to my back, a thousand lashes for your crimes
I run, and run, and run, and the hot sand
burns my soft bare feet, shaping calluses
on my Scottish soles. My knees have dirt on
them. Every rushing breath from my lungs
sings of love.
This is not my country, and it never will be, no
matter how many fistfuls of red sand I grab and sift
through my dirty-nailed fingers, no matter how many
thorny little plants I tear up and press to the winter-white
bone-ridged skin of my chest.
The sand will slip away, the thorns will rip wincing-red
holes in me and I'll love them still.
I am an invader, a daughter of criminals sent from a gentle
rain-damp country far away. This land has got its revenge,
this land has captured the witless intruder and holds her tight.
I crane my pale, freckled neck.
I kiss the eucalyptus branches that dig into the soft
rose-blush of my cheek.
I dig my toes into the dirt.
I let myself

Four SinnersSt Peter rapped smartly on the door to the chambers of the Lord, before pushing them open to see the homely white room beyond. The Lord stood up from his seat at the desk and welcomed the saint with open arms, a loving smile on his lips.
"Peter," he said, his voice soft and deep, like a father's to a toddler, "how is it I may help you today?"
"My Lord, I know it is unorthodox, but a group of murderers have requested your presence at their judging." Peter replied, "Each claims to have an injury which excuses their sins."
The Lord considered this, then nodded solemnly, walking slowly out of the room. His steps were heavy, his stance reflecting his sadness at the necessity of their punishments.
Outside the gates' white swirls, four men knelt, heads bent. The Devil loitered casually off to one side, his dark robes emanating fear that swirled around him. He and the Lord embraced, as over the millennia their mission has become one a
Make Me Mistress of Lies and Goddess of ChaosMy brightly burning ice giant; god of fire,
My silver tongued lie-smith with weighted whispers—
Will you still love me on Ragnarök's byre?
When your children wage war on their elders?
For the nine realms will be nothing but chaos,
And each will sit back to watch the destruction
For none shall be able to forestall this loss,
Or find another world to which they can run.
If you say yes; that you will adore me yet…
Should I trust those lips which kiss me sweetly?
That weave such beautiful tricks, traps and nets
To trip and catch the Æsir and their army.
Tell me, if it should be my breath leaves first,
Should you take another into our bed?
Or should you deem this world to be accursed,
And wait for the fates to cut immortal thread.

of nimbus & cumuli,
bidding farewell to
distant suns
dancing towards dawn,

puddles of cerulean

stone-washed walls
& fields of porcelain luster,
where not even the promise
of earnest attempts
at self-salvation

but already i've grown hungry

Great Product! Highly Recommend!My daughter has thick, fine hair that has fly-aways. We have tried everything from pomades, creams, different shampoo types, different combing styles etc and nothing worked. We went to a new stylist and she gave us a sample of this stuff and it works so nice. It smoothed it out so nice without weighing it down. Hair was soft and manageable--and it was very nice and shiny. It was a major improvement in just one use! I plan to get her the shampoo and therapy conditioner now too! If you have dry hair and have tried everything, then the end of the road is here.

Remembering Whitney Houston
- 18
Sun 12th Feb, 2012 in Features
You could fill an hour-long special just with a montage of audition footage showing the many young people who have named Whitney Houston as their musical inspiration.
The music industry has lost a truly defining star who set the standard in which so many young female talents have aspired to in terms of vocal presence and influence.
Word broke out yesterday on social media that the Grammy-winning American music superstar had died on Saturday, aged 48.
Whitney Houston is – without question – one of the most influential female pop vocalists of our time and today while the world falls silent upon hearing of her tragic death, all I want to hear and all I wish to remember her by is her voice. I feel like there's been enough material in the press over the last few years detracting from Whitney's contribution to music and her vocal asset that we don't need to feed on that right now.
Houston took soul-powered pop to new heights when she broke out with her debut self-titled album in 1985. The almighty hits Greatest Love of All and Saving All My Love For You projected a blueprint for pop ballads in the decade to come, while the fun – and albeit few – uptempos like How Will I Know and Someone For Me spoke directly to the ears of the '80s.
What's been really interesting upon reflection of Whitney's six-studio album discography is how well her voice serves up everything from the signature lip-synch-for-your-life type ballads to sassy, fluorescent pop numbers.
Through Whitney's smashes like I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) and I'm Every Woman, we learned that there's a place in the mainstream pop sphere for powerful vocals matched with slick dance productions. In Whitney's albums we found a place where sass and pure class can cohesively meet. She showed pop music listeners that you could really have it all and have it sung right, for the matter – from skyscraper ballads to finger-snapping dance records.
At the end of the day, regardless of whether you came to 'Cool Down' or 'Throw Down' (the titles of the two discs of her Greatest Hits) you were guaranteed to be treated with the utmost commitment to passionate vocal delivery.
There was no bullshitting with Whitney's voice, even when the wear and tear started to show over the years. While we miss the era of the whistle-clear top notes, we also appreciate her developing raspy tones because it gives the records she sings much more character, maturity and depth.
Inspirational songs like I Look To You and I Didn't Know My Own Strength on her final studio album I Look To You would not have been what they are if she had recorded them 25 years ago.
It wasn't always easy to accept that Whitney's voice is not what it used to be but I think once you understand that the source of her great vocal power is not in the strength of her vocal chords but rather the soul from which she sings from – it all starts to make a bit more sense.
Through all the years, different shades of uptempo and downtempos, and personal drama that followed her – there was no denying that the voice always came through with a bite and with a good deal of conviction.
Here's five of my personal favourite Whitney tracks:
I Will Always Love You
My earliest memory of Whitney Houston was sitting in front of the television at my babysitter's housing commission flat, watching the camera zoom in on this woman and pausing just before she opens her eyes to belt out the final stretch of I Will Always Love You.
I remember being so swept away by her almighty vocals in that moment that I forgot to breathe. Needlessly to say, I felt very dizzy by the end of the song. When you encounter music that leaves a lasting first impression like that, it's really hard to find anything that could ever possibly top that.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)
I wish I could say that I knew and loved this song from the moment it came out but my proper introduction to I Wanna Dance With Somebody only occurred when I was old enough to go clubbing. I associate this song so much with joy, freedom and gay pride because of this experience.
I just remember seeing the faces of gays around me light up when the song powered up and how much everyone was living for the anthemic chorus. I Wanna Dance With Somebody was singing the sentiment of every single man and woman on the floor. It's like this communal feeling of we all came out to dance tonight and have a good time, but really we're wishing that a special someone would find us under all the smoke and strobes.
Now report to the dance floor in honour of our Queen of The Night:

Claudette Day (Belleville, Ill./Belleville West) will compete in the high jump, Meghan Heuer (St. Charles, Ill./North) and Ali Olson (New Auburn, Wis./Bloomer) both qualified in the 800 meters and Sidra Sherrill (Fort Wayne, Ind./Northrop) earned a spot in the discus. Day's sensational freshman season will continue in Arkansas, as her school-record high jump mark of 5-10.00 (1.78m) at the Blue Demon Invitational April 19 helped clinch her spot in the regional meet. That mark is currently the 22nd-best in the West Region and is only 2.75 inches from the top mark. Joining Day in the field events in Sherrill, who earned her spot with her own school record of 170-00 (51.82m) that she set May 10 at the Wisconsin Open. The junior from Fort Wayne, Indiana, sits 34th in the West. On the track, Heuer - who garnered second team All-MAC recognition in the 1500 meters at the conference meet last weekend - earned her trip to the Natural State with her record-setting run of 2:08.54 May 10 in Wisconsin and ranks 34th in the field, but is just two seconds out of ranking in the Top 20. Meanwhile, Olson sits 41st in the field based on her 2:08.93 clip May 10 at Wisconsin. The top 12 finishers in each event at the NCAA West Prelims advance to the NCAA National Championships, which will take place June 10-13 in Eugene, Oregon.

UK-based publisher Reef Entertainment currently own the video game rights to the first two Terminator movies, 1984's The Terminator and 1991's incredible (to this day) Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
The publisher intend to make good use of the video game rights and have announced Terminators: The Video Game. Reef Entertainment intend to create a "high quality, authentic and exciting" game that does "great justice" to the films. Let's hope we get some of the original actors to come back to voice their roles in the games.
I have absolutely no faith in Terminators: The Video Game, but I would like to be pleasantly surprised.

The HOLLYWOOD in the imagination of the world's movie public, therefore, was kept tenuously anchored to its namesake location by regular rituals (premieres, the Academy Awards, etc.) and the magical investment of a dozen or so places (the Bowl, Graumann's, etc.) as tourist shrines. But over the last generation, as the real Hollywood has become a hyper-violent slum, the rituals have ceased and the magic has waned. As the linkages between historic signifier and its signified decayed, the opportunity arose to resurrect HOLLYWOOD in a safer neighborhood. Thus in Orlando, Disney created a stunning Art Deco mirage of MGM's golden age, while arch-competitor MCA countered with its own idealized versions of Hollywood Boulevard and Rodeo Drive at Universal Studios Florida.
Meanwhile, the elopement of Disney and HOLLYWOOD to Florida further depressed real-estate back in real-time Hollywood. After bitter battles with local homeowners, the major landowners were able to win city authorization for a $1 billion facelift of Hollywood Boulevard. In their scheme, the Boulevard would be transformed into a gated, linear theme park, anchored by mega-entertainment complexes at each end. But while the redevelopers were still negotiating with potential investors, MCA pulled the rug out from under Hollywood Redux with the announcement that its nearby tax-dodge enclave, Universal City, would construct a parallel urban reality called "CityWalk."
Designed by master illusionist Jon Jerde, CityWalk is an "idealized reality," the best features of Olvera Street, Hollywood and the West Side synthesized in "easy, bite-sized pieces" for consumption by tourists and residents who "don't need the excitement of dodging bullets ... in the Third World country" that Los Angeles has become. CityWalk incorporates examples of Mission Revival, Deco, streamlined Moderne, and "L.A. Vernacular" (the Brown Derby), as well as 3-D billboards, "a huge blue King Kong hanging from a 70-foot neon totem pole," and a sheriff's substation for security. To alleviate the sense of artificiality in this melange, a "patina of age" and a "dash of grit" have been added:
Using decorative sleight of hand, the designers plan to wrap the brand new street in a cloak of instant history -- on opening day, some buildings will be painted to suggest that they have been occupied before. Candy wrappers will be embedded in the terrazzo flooring, as if discarded by previous visitors.Hollywood redevelopers immediately responded to construction of CityWalk with a $4.3 million beautification plan that includes paving Hollywood Blvd. with "glitz" made from recycled glass. But even spruced up and glitzified there is almost no way that the old Boulevard can compete with the hyper-real perfection on Universal's hill. As its MCA proprietors have taken pains to emphasize, CityWalk is "not a mall" but a "revolution in urban design ... a new kind of neighborhood." -- an urban simulator. Indeed, some critics wonder if it isn't the moral equivalent of the neutron bomb: the city emptied of all lived human experience. With its fake fossil candy wrappers and other deceits, CityWalk sneeringly mocks us as it erases any trace of our real joy, pain or labor.

So, When do We Rally?
Days like this are the type that cause market mavens to break out the word "capitulation," and attempt to divine the myriad signals that suggest that yes, we have indeed reached bottom, and can only go up from here.
Here's one to chew on. Tuesday, more than 10% of the issues traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market reached new lows. Kenneth Tower, chief strategist at Covered Bridge Tactical, says that in the past 10 years, this tends to happen about six days before the market reaches a low point. (The market is nearly repeating this today — 249 issues on the Nasdaq have hit new 52-week lows, out of 2,943, but that falls short of the 10% threshold.)
In the past 10 years, there were 14 instances in which 10% of the issues reached new lows. In all but two cases, the market reached its low within six days, and after falling, on average, another 7%. The two instances in which this indicator failed to predict an imminent low were in 1998 and 2007, when it took another month before the low was reached.
So what should investors be looking for? About 2225 on the Nasdaq before it potentially bounces.

I am unable to install Ubuntu on my hardware because as soon as I enter the installation process and click the "next" button for installing it then it just reboots as if the Flash Drive has stopped working suddenly. This happens to me every time.
I am booting from an USB Flash Drive in UEFI mode because only that is working in my hardware.
My PC already has Linux Mint 16 installed which I want to replace with Ubuntu 14.04 but because of the reasons mentioned here, I am unable to do so.
My hardware is a custom build PC having the following parts :
Mobo : MSI-FM2-A55M-E33 |

Any help would be highly appreciated as I really want to run 14.04 because of the improved drivers that would help in gaming.
Edit : Posted the same on MSI forums at https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=179619.0 in case if it is a hardware related bug.

Finally this brand new covered bridge connects two of the best multi-use trails in Connecticut. This long hoped for bridge will allow trail riders and hikers to cruise on through. Route 316 also known as Hebron road in Andover has been a hikers headache for years as the two trails have never been connected.
Now the two sections, the elevated 12 mile trail that runs from Manchester to Andover and the 10 mile rail trail that runs along the Hop river will bring you all the way to Willimantic.
No longer do you have to scale down and up a loose rock filled steep bank. No longer do you have to turn back. Now everyone can just stop at the Veterans Memorial Park and take out the camera and photograph the Veterans Memorial bridge built right here in Andover CT.
There are many trails that connect to the Hop River Rail Trail and all are excellent marked trails. Including the Historic Rose Trail that leads to the hilltop with a view of Rose Farm and the heritage farm where a French Army Encampment was placed during the Revolutionary War.
There is that amazing Shenipsit trail system that comes through Freja Park along the cliff face and crosses down onto Hop River Trail along the Vernon portion. Which uses the portions of the rail trail, crossing from the Manchester Drive-In into Webster Preserve just above Valley Falls Park.
There are many unmarked pathways along the Hop River portion as well, but it is better to stay on Hop River trail to avoid walking on to private property which surrounds the trail system. Enjoy the hike with your family and if you cannot, please check out the slideshow to see what your missing.

The loneliness of the lone long distance driver
As I mentioned in this post, every now and then I try to imagine what it would be like if I ended up being the only person left on earth. The first few days would probably be exciting as I went around doing anything I wanted to do with absolute freedom. It would be kind of fun. I wouldn't have to wash the dishes or do the laundry to begin with. Anytime I needed something clean, I could walk into a store (or a neighbor's house) and get it without having to pay for it or feeling guilty about it. I could ignore all the traffic lights and speed limits and park my car in the middle of the road. Imagine that!
And then, loneliness would set in.
Once I realized that I might never see, touch or talk to another human being, because there were none left besides me, I would probably gradually descend into a state of delirium.
On the other hand, one could never be sure that there still wasn't another person left somewhere on earth.
How could you possible know that you were the only person on earth? As long as telephone service and electricity were available you could attempt to make random phone calls or get on the Internet and search for signs of human activity. Perhaps you would run across a blog post from a few hours ago or receive an e-mail. Even an offer for partnership from Nigeria would bring tremendous joy. Imagine that!
But once the electricity and the phone services got cut off due to lack of maintenance or some other reasons, the only way to establish contact with anyone who might still be out there would be by physically searching for them.
Since there would practically be an unlimited supply of gasoline for a single person, one could get into a car, any car, and start driving around in hopes of finding another person.
The hope of finding someone else, perhaps in San Francisco, or Peru, or Singapore, or Istanbul, could possibly help me maintain my sanity. How would someone, who was not much of a sailor and who couldn't fly a plane, cross over to Asia, though?
The next post in this series is here.

This week our regular forum member "Windwithme" from Taiwan got his hands on Biostar's upcoming T-Power I45 motherboard that is based on Intel's P45 Express chipset.
Using an unreleased Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 processor (E0 stepping) and the T-Power motherboard, Windwithme managed to push the FSB all the way up to 612MHz and that was using standard air cooling.
Most boards usually top out at around the 550MHz mark but this board pushed on and allowed the processor to be overclocked all the way up to almost 4.3GHz with a standard air CPU cooler.
Check out his full first look and overclocking results over at this forum thread.

Once again, thousands of amateur and professional cyclists, bike and food vendors and spectators are descending upon the Monterey Bay area for the 24th annual Sea Otter Classic at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway.
Billed as the world's largest cycling festival, the four-day event drew nearly 10,000 competitors, along with 65,000 fans, more than 400 exhibitors and 375 journalists from around the world last year. And by all appearances half way through this year's "Celebration of Cycling", event organizers can expect similar numbers across the board and possibly eclipse last year's impressive attendance figures. With more exhibitors signed up this year, there's a good chance the overall numbers will be positive.
A full slate of pro and amateur competitions are being held through Sunday including Category races in cross country, downhill dual slalom, road and cyclocross. But events are not restricted to just the pros, amateurs, masters and juniors competitors. For instance, free events were held today for kids, including a Sea Otter Egg Hunt and kid's bike races in two age group categories and similar events are also scheduled on Sunday.
While the centerpiece of the Sea Otter Classic are the bike competitions, perhaps the bigger draw are the hundreds of vendors appearing at the festival/expo. Virtually every single major American brand is in town to showcase the latest in cutting edge technology from high-end road and mountain bikes to bike accessories and advanced sport drinks and gadgets to gauge a cyclist's performance. Visitors can expect every popular brand name in the business literally from A-Z, including Avid, Cannondale, Garmin, GoPro, Kryptonite, PowerBar, Shimano, Specialized, Trek and Zipp.
Also at this gignormous festival are more than 12 food vendors featuring a diverse selection of tasty offerings, prize giveaways, demos, a chance to meet some of the pros and bike shows with some of America's top technical riders including professional mountain biker Ryan Leech and 11-time national champion stunt rider Mike Steidely. Hungry visitors can enjoy such traditional fare as pizza, burgers and burritos, in addition to vegetarian, gourmet Indian food, fresh seafood, teriyaki, incredibly delicious Lebanese baklava and many other food choices.
Of course, the biggest crowds are expected tomorrow and Sunday but admission remains super affordable at just $10 in advance and $12 at the gate. Moreover, parking is absolutely free although visitors might have to walk a bit if they arrive mid-morning or later. Still, for anyone who hasn't yet experienced the luxury of attending one of the best cycling events in the world, there is still two full days of entertainment, competition, great food and best of all, great people. Come see all the action and entertainment at the 24th annual Sea Otter Classic for a day you'll never forget.
