Panama City Beach - This week's Golden Apple Award-winning teacher is Nicole Sellers. She teaches Latin and English at Arnold High School on Panama City Beach. Mrs. Sellers has been teaching Latin for 11 years, but this is her first year at Arnold. It didn't take long for students to realize she is something special.
You've heard the phrase "Latin is a dead language," but students like Amber Blackburn say Mrs. Sellers makes it come alive. "She is pretty much the best teacher I've ever had," said Blackburn, a senior.
"Teaching Latin is always a tricky thing but when I can see them really make those connections between ancient and modern it's wonderful. Just the intrigue of the ancient Roman empire, the history, really gets the kids hooked," said Sellers.
While the language may not be spoken today, Sellers says knowledge of it is invaluable. "60% of modern English comes from Latin. We do alot of work in the classroom on roots of English words and increasing vocabulary and SAT skills."
Students say they love learning about her adventures in Rome and Greece, her travels inspire them. "She really wants us to learn and succeed in what we do. She tells us about her experiences and encourages us to go out and see the world!" "I just love bringing things back to the kids and showing them how the cultures live today and what the similarities are between the ancient and the modern," said Sellers.
Principal Keith Bland says he isn't surprised Mrs. Sellers is receiving this recognition in her first year. "You can see greatness within her when you talk to her, see her in the hallways, working with her in the past, you can see what a great and wonderful teacher she is."
Congratulations to Nicole Sellers, this week's Golden Apple award winning teacher. "I love being an Arnold Marlin and I love all my students at J.R. Arnold High."

Alan Grayson has this story about misbehaving Republicans in the House. He says each House member has an electronic card that he or she sticks in a slot to register a vote. Sometimes members will forget or lose their card, and will go up after votes are taken to register their votes. A few weeks back, he said about 60-70 Republicans began pretending that they forgot their cards.
"They'd all walk to the front of the House and, laughingly and jokingly, put their arms around each other's shoulder like it was some kind of clownish fun. And they did this over and over to make sure every vote took half an hour. That's how low things have gotten. I could give you countless examples just like that. They're simply obstructionists and there's nothing you can do about it.''

Eri was born into a rather poor family and has always worked hard to provide better conditions for her mother and herself.

At school, she has often been part of the student council and has earned multiple scholarships to support her mother. She occasionally takes on part-time jobs for extra money, but her main focus is on studying and entering university through scholarships. She takes everything quite seriously, even small incidents at school, as she has a very strong sense of responsibility. She once saved a younger girl, Emily, at school from bullies and the two have since become very close friends. It was also Emily who introduced Lullaby Moon to Eri. While she normally wouldn't give a second thought to gaming, Eri decided to give Lullaby Moon a try since Emily recommended it to her.

♦ Roleplay Example |
Eri stared irritably at her Pheous sleeping a bit too comfortably on a patch of cloth. They should have left a near hour ago, but unfortunately for the girl, Erik was known to indulge in sleep. Finally fed up with his laziness, she took her guidebook and gave the young man a generous whack across his head. "Get up already!" she fumed. "We should have left hours ago!" Meanwhile, the poor boy that had just been quite rudely awakened rubbed his pounding head while he slowly came too. He blinked his eyes groggily and tried to assess his current situation. "What the..." As soon as he caught sight of Eri, he let out a loud groan and finally understood what had occurred. "Seriously?"
Eri: //stares irritably at Erik before whacking him on the head with a book// Get up already! We should have left hours ago!
Erik: //rubs his head while blinking his eyes open groggily// What the... //groans loudly when he sees Eri// Seriously?
♦ Roleplay Methods | Skype, notes, chatroom, comments. I'm fine with anything really o v o b.
But anyways, two very cool characters you've got here! Eri seems like such an interesting girl with a neat personality -I love how headstrong she seems! <3 And I've got to say that Erik seems like the perfect partner for her, haha. Looks like they get along wonderfully. xD
Loving the uniforms/designs and I am in love for some reason with the fact that Eri lacks imagination.
Anyways, great job, and I hope we can rp sometime!~
and yes of course o 7 o i think connor would be a good influence on eri lmao lD //KICKED
just shoot me a note- or we can rp on skype-? you can note me your skype name if you prefer that o v o
Haha, I think it'll go both ways. It'd be good for him to be exposed to someone like Eri! xD
If you're okay with it.....I think notes would probably work best. I'm pretty horrible at remembering to go on Skype, so the rp would be faster-moving if it' done over notes. xD
But yeah, anyways, if you want me to start I'll shoot you a note in a few hours
hope we can rp sometime dskjlhdgs q u q
-> "//Smiles slightly// I'm sure it will do the job if you two practice enough."

All Reviews for Happy Rose Buffet
March 27, 2009
I love its Seafood Egg Noodle Soup. It makes me remember the noodle soup that i used to eat in Vietnam. Although i don't have to wait in line, it takes time to cook. So whenever i want to eat i have to call and order ahead. I used to bring my friend there and eat that bowl. I can't find any places having this soup, so I'm willing to come back there for another bowl. But its price is kinda higher than other noodle soup in other restaurants

Will you be prepared when the zombie apocalypse hits? Or, a much possible event, the next nature-caused tragedy? Be a step ahead with the officially licensed AMC The Walking Dead Survival Kit. First My Family, an emergency preparedness company, sent me one of their kits to review. They are also giving away two kits to two lucky winners in a giveaway!
Priced at $129.99, The Walking Dead Survival Kit makes itself worth it with all the neat and highly useful emergency items. Everything comes inside a very cool messenger bag that you can use anywhere. The kit is intended for two people to survive for 72 hours. Here's what it includes: (photos of everything listed below are available in the slideshow attached to this article)
- Food: Two Datrex 2,400 calorie emergency food ration and 12 Datrex 4.22oz packs of emergency water. Both of these food items are guaranteed to stay fresh for up to 5 years.
- Medical supplies: A large Lifeline First Aid kit with 85 pieces, including- gauze, bandages, scissors, and more. Four face mask are also in the kit.
- One Lifegear LED flashlight that can also be an emergency signal light that lasts up to 400 hours. There are also two light sticks that will last 12 hours each.
- Two ponchos for severe weather and two blankets for warmth.
- Leather palm work gloves.
- Waterproof matches.
- The first 10,000 pre-orders will receive an official AMC "The Walking Dead" patch that features Daryl Dixon's angel wings logo that reads "We're Survivors."
Tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, depending where you live, Mother Nature can strike at any moment. This is also very handy if you are planning a camping trip. You can store the kit's contents into another bag or storage box and take this bag out on your outings. It has pouches and pockets in the front, side, and back. Have fun with it and with the "The Walking Dead Surival Kit" logo turn it into your personalized kit! For work (fits a laptop and other work materials), survival kit for school (fits books and supplies), a small trip, this could also be a very cool diaper bag for any "The Walking Dead" mom fan. Moms, turn this bag into your own "survival kit" for babies – stuff it with bottles, diapers, toys, etc.!
Check out how to win your very own kit below!
We talked to the CEO of First My Family and emergency preparedness expert, Andrew Torres about tips and, of course, "The Walking Dead":
Did any of you go through a natural disaster or emergency that brought on the inspiration for the survival kit? Actually, my career in emergency planning began when I was in high school. I was biking to work during the summer and helped pull a woman out of a burning car that was involved in a car accident. From that I always wanted to help people and have focused my career on it, including building our survival kits.
Here in Texas, what comes across the most are tornadoes. Any tips for preparedness? Sure. I think the most important thing you would need in Texas for tornadoes is early communication and a warning system. That is why we sell our high quality emergency radios. Each one is a NOAA emergency weather band radio and would alert you during a tornado alert or warning (if turned on).
Which of you is a bigger "Walking Dead" fan and why? That is hard to say but I would say we are both equal on this standpoint. Angie loves the characters and I love the stories. Last night's [Sunday, March 16, "The Grove"] episode with Carol was dramatic for both of us.
In the highly unlikely chance a walker apocalypse, what advice can you give for our best chance of survival? If this were to happen, the best thing I could say would be to RUN and have a grab and go kit, like our family kits at www.firstmyfamily.com or our fantastic TWD Survival Kit.
If we had more room in our 72hr survival kit, what items do you recommend we include? We would include a water treatment system or pump, small bills, longer lasting food supplies, access to fresh water, duct tape, window plastic covering, nails and tools, small bottles of alcohol and cigarettes to trade, personal protection, personal hygiene items, dog good and a safe place.
Lastly, share your favorite "Walking Dead" characters with us." We figured this out last night. It's Carol for sure. Really looking forward to seeing what happens with her character.

I am curious on different opinions on wither or not to get a holster with a top strap or just open topped. I like the idea of weapon retention with a strap, but I don't know if that extra 1/2 second could make the difference if caught off guard.
CC IWB I don't have a strap (as I think it would slow me down). OWB (open carry) I do.
Most point out the strap does not hinder draw as long as you practice. I think they are correct, but I'm not sure I want to test this in a CC / SD situation.
However, when I open carry, I just like knowing the gun is a little more secure because I am normally out in the woods when I open carry.
I suggest that type of retention for open carry or if you do some type of work or recreation that may beg for more retention of the pistol.
Good luck.
I use all open top holsters. If someday open carry becomes an option here, I may consider a thumb break, but not likely.
I carry IWB without a thumb break. OWB I carry with a SERPA, so it doesn't have the thumb break, but it does have a retention device. In Iraq I carry on the thigh with a thumb break. The SERPA and the thumb break have never slowed down my draw after practicing a bit.
The only time I carry with a thumb break is when I OC.
Since you were asking if 1/2 of a second could make a difference.
Absolutely a half second too late could mean the difference between life or death.
One half second is an eternity if the bad guy is running at you wanting to crack your skull with a ball bat.
Buy a good well fiting holster with good retention and forget the retention strap.
They are not necessary for civilian carry in a properly fitting holster.
My first holster had a retention strap...the holster went to 'holster heaven'...I now only use a quality open top holster.
I mentioned before that I once tripped and tumbled down a set of bleechers at a rodeo. After my wife quit laughng...I picked myself up, checked all my bones, and rebuilt my ego...but, the gun?...it was still in the holster.
A quality holster will retain the weapon very well.
Stay armed...use a quality holster...stay safe!
i think for CC, thumbstraps, or any level II retention, is unnecessary. the holster should be just tight enough to hold your gun in place. for open carry, a retention system should absolutely be used.
When i worked LE i considered a thumbsnap or other retention method as necessary due to the possibility of getting into a scuffle while off duty/plainclothes. Now that i am out of LE i am apathetic on the issue as long as the holster is not over loose . I have been bucked off horses wearing open topped iwb holsters and never lost the gun so for most of us it is really a non issue . At the same time ill point out that if you train properly with a thumbsnap it creates NO delay at all in your draw . Release of the strap becomes a natural part of attaining your grip during the draw and does not slow you down .
With a properly designed holster, for cc, additional retention devices are completely unnecessary IMHO.
For civilian CCW holster use, no thumb breaks for me.
Old habits die hard. I carry in a thumbstrapped pancake holster, OWB, right hip. This is the same position and type of holster I have carried in since the early 80's, first with a revolver then with the Glock 17 when my department transitioned in 1991. It is second nature and no delay to me to pop the strap, but I have over a quarter century of muscle memory going for me.
I have several thumb break holsters. I like them because sometimes I switch to open carry. I see you are from OK, so I guess that is not possible for you.
If you want something more secure, but don't like thumb breaks, check out the CQC SERPA holsters. SMOOOOOOOTH and very secure.

River cruises continue to be the rage especially among veteran seafarers who've been there and done that and young, more adventurous travlers. Many people have eschewed the genre because well river boats didn't use to be too luxurious. But now there are lots of deluxe ones to experience such as the new AmaSonata, which is being promoted by Premier River Cruises, a travel agency for river cruise vacations, with the Los Angeles-based company's recently launched Spotlight Series.
With the new series passengers can do a 17-night cruise on the AmaSonata from Budapest to Amsterdam on December 17th for fares from $3,689 per person for a window cabin. If you book this cruise through Premier River Cruises (PRC) by May 31, 2014 you can score a special group price, a free hotel package in Budapest, prepaid tips [$800 value], a private dinner at Rezkakas in Budapest, special private tours in Budapest and two extra [free] nights on the ship in Amsterdam for New Years Eve. Not too shabby considering this would normally cost $7,000 for two. This holiday river cruise package also includes premium stateroom, gourmet meals, complimentary fine wines, beers and free sightseeing in each port, in addition to all transfers.
To get this deal you must book and prepay for it by May 31, 2014 at 855-255-1200 or Premier site.. Fares are based on double occupancy and do not include airfare or taxes of $322 per passenger. Cruise has limited availability and to qualify for free extras deposit must be paid by May 31, 2014. Prices are subject to change without notice. Other restrictions may apply, call for complete details.
The AmaSonata is a sister ship to the AmaWaterways' AmaCerto and offers state-of-the-art features such as Twin Balconies in most staterooms, which measure a spacious 210-235 sq. feet, with four suites measuring 350 sq. feet. While we haven't sampled it yet, AmaWaterways is known for gourmet dining with free-flowing fine wines at multiple onboard dining venues. The boat boasts a heated sun deck swimming pool with a 'swim-up' bar; fitness center and spa; guests get complimentary ship-wide Wi-Fi and in-room Internet and Infotainment; and a fleet of free bicycles to use ashore on your own or guided tours.
For your enjoyment we threw in a cute video about camels in Budapest.

First pitch is set for 4 p.m. in the first Bulldogs-Tigers matchup on the diamond, with sophomore Brandon Woodruff (Wheeler, Miss.) projected as the State starter. Live audio and multi-camera video streaming will be available online to HailStateTV subscribers (http://www.hailstate.com/hstvlive). The radio broadcast of the game will also be available in the Golden Triangle area on WKBB-FM (100.9), the flagship station of the MSU Baseball Radio Network.
Fourteen Bulldog pitchers combined for a remarkable 0.75 staff earned run average last week as MSU out-scored visiting Portland 31-3 during a four-game series sweep. Senior Luis Pollorena (Laredo, Texas) picked up a win and registered a staff-leading seven strikeouts over five innings in two relief appearances.
MSU hit at a .355 clip in four games, led by senior catcher Mitch Slauter (Olathe, Kans.) and junior shortstop Adam Frazier (Bishop, Ga.) Slauter hit .667 with four RBI and a .727 on-base percentage in two starts behind the dish. Frazier hit .500 with a team-best eight hits and sparkled on defense with 26 error-free defensive chances, including assists on all seven double plays turned by the State defense.
Grambling dropped all three games of its season-opening weekend series at Northwestern State, including a 16-inning, 8-7 marathon in Sunday's finale. GSU came up short on the weekend despite out-hitting the Demons 28 to 26. Shortstop Juan Bueno (.294) collected five hits to pace Grambling.
Tuesday afternoon's game begins a five-game week for the Bulldogs. State hosts a pair of 2012 NCAA Tournament regional finalists this in the Diamond Classic presented by Polk's Meat Products. State begins play in the double round-robin event Friday at 6 p.m. against defending Big Ten Conference champion Purdue and tests Southern Conference foe Samford Saturday at 3 p.m. Two games are scheduled each day of the Diamond Classic.
Mississippi State remained at No. 5 in the latest Baseball America rankings and climbed to No. 12 in this week's Collegiate Baseball poll.

Formula One will be quite different in 2010 thanks to a number of changes to the rules. The Kinetic Energy Recovery System is gone, front tires will be narrower (from 270mm to 245mm) and most significantly, there will be no refueling during races which will mean fuel tanks will need to be roughly three times larger than 2009. The changes have bred a different size and shape of car, as was evidenced over the last two days when we saw the first of the serious contender's cars – the 2010 McLaren MP4-25 of Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton and the Ferrari F10 of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso. Demonstrating the drawing power of the Prancing Horse, Ferrari attracted an audience of three million unique visitors to its web site for the launch. The season gets underway tomorrow when …Read More
The highly innovative TTXGP organization, which has already created several national and international electric motorcycle racing series, continues to show the way forward for the future of motorsport management. In yet another groundbreaking move, TTXGP has acknowledged the limitations of committee-based systems for framing rules, and created a wiki that allows global input to be filtered through technical expertise to frame a better set of rules for everyone. "Rules are core to keeping a championship alive with innovation and competition," said TTXGP's Azhar Hussain on the TTXGP web site. "It's crucial that for TTXGP to thrive, we have a rules framework that is inclusive and sensitive to the needs of all the stakeholders." Read More
The success of the TTXGP for electric motorcycles held on the Isle of Man on June 12 has quickly spawned a world championship, feeder series in the UK and United States, a UKP10,000 Technical Package for teams, and the likelihood that a complete electric racing bike will be on the market in Q1, 2010 for under USD40,000. Having been sanctioned by the governing body for motorcycle racing, (the FIM) to create a world championship in 2010, TTXGP founder Azhar Hussain is working to create a five-race global series with rounds in Europe, Asia and the Americas. A four-round U.K. National series and three-round American National series for 2010 are being planned, with the biggest news being the availability of a technology starter pack later this year - the UKP10,000 kit will include an AGNI electric racing motor, race batteries, controllers and all electronics – just add your own frame and running gear.

May 13, 2009 The opportunity to own a world championship winning motorcycle is extremely rare. Usually, the only chance to obtain such a beastie is reserved for the people who have ridden them, and hence very few championship winning bikes exist outside the private collections of former world champions, or in factory museums. Now former Grand Prix motorcycle road racing world champion Franco Uncini has decided to auction the Suzuki 500 XR40 on which he won the his 1982 World MotoGP Championship via international Auction House COYS in Monaco on May 18.Read More

Does IFD change the backbone coordinates of my protein, or does it sample only side-chain orientations?
In the default mode, the largest changes in the IFD protocol are for side-chain rotameric states. However, after side-chain optimization, a backbone minimization is carried out to relax the protein structure in order to accommodate the new side-chain positions. So, small changes in the backbone are typically observed. On the other hand, it is possible to include a loop-optimization stage in the IFD workflow, which will explicitly vary the backbone coordinates of the selected protein segment.

Seattle Mariners rumors have the team linked to Nelson Cruz and Fernando Rodney again. These fresh Seattle Mariners rumors come from analyst Ken Rosenthal, who is indicating that the team is trying hard to make several moves. According to a report from Thursday (Jan. 30), the team is showing "strong interest" in landing Cruz and Rodney. It doesn't end there, though, as the team is also trying to add another starting pitcher.
M's Agree To Trade With Kansas City
Signing Cruz would certainly give the team a power-hitter in the middle of the lineup, but he has not done well at Safeco Field over his baseball career. The signing is seen as a big risk by many fans, but there are also those supporters that just want the team to take some risks to try to get back in contention in the American League West.
As for Rodney, he has been the closer for the Tampa Bay Rays over the past two seasons, but the team decided to go in a different direction for the 2014 MLB season. With many teams already set at the position, it has opened the door for the M's to sweep in and grab him. He would immediately become the ninth inning option and could provide a lot of entertainment on the mound.
It has been noted before that Cruz, Rodney, and Robinson Cano all played for the Dominican Republic at the World Baseball Classic, so they should all be familiar with one another. As for the intriguing Seattle Mariners rumors about adding a starting pitcher, Rosenthal suggests that it could come through a trade. He doesn't hazard a guess about what player might have the interest of the front office, but it could involve Nick Franklin being included in any deal.

League track championships
HIGHLANDS RANCH — To beat a great team twice is always a tall task, let alone on the road both times.
However, Evergreen's girls soccer team did everything in its power to pull off that mission May 14 at Valor Stadium in Highlands Ranch. The Cougars defeated Valor 3-2 on the Eagles' home turf April 28 to propel Evergreen during an impressive home stretch of the regular season that included a tie against Class 4A Jeffco League champion Wheat Ridge.
Life just isn't fair sometimes. The same can be said about sports.
Evergreen's baseball team finished with a 12-6 record, a second-place finish in the Class 4A Jeffco League with a 7-2 mark. Still, somehow, the Cougars didn't make the 32-team district field for the postseason.
Six teams with sub-.500 records did make the 4A postseason field. Say what? How could this happen?

ARVADA — At 6-foot-2 and maybe 140 pounds, Joshua Gauvain looks like he'd be more at home shooting a basketball than diving into a swimming pool.
"I'm a pretty scrawny guy," the Evergreen sophomore said during a break at the Jeffco League Boys Swimming Championships on May 14.
The Evergreen Area Chamber of Commerce has announced four students as recipients of the first-ever chamber scholarships.
The chamber chose four graduating seniors who are planning to study business to receive $1,000 college scholarships. The winners are Maya Dethlefs, Lauren Sneed and Alyssa Harris from Evergreen High School, and Justine Lane, who lives in Evergreen but attends D'Evelyn High School.
Jefferson County Road and Bridge is planning to build a large retaining wall, the size of a small building, at Kerr Gulch Road and Highway 74 in Kittredge.
The project, which will take 60 days and cost $185,000, is one of the most expensive on the list for construction this year in the mountain area, but has been pushed back to November through January.
The goal is to shore up the bank, which was weakened by flooding in 2013 and further compromised by heavy rains in 2014.
The Evergreen Park and Recreation District is looking forward to another booming year of stand-up paddleboarding and a list of other sports as summer grows closer and the allure of sunshine and sparkling water draws fun seekers back to Evergreen Lake.
The boating season was originally scheduled to open over the weekend, but inclement weather pushed the scheduled opening back to this Saturday.
After a busy winter of ice skating and hockey, Lake House manager Brad Bednar is ready for a different season.
Because of erosion, the Evergreen Park and Recreation District has closed a section of the Evergreen Lake Trail along Highway 74 from Upper Bear Creek Road to the top of the connector bridge near the dam.
A sign posted on the trail as of May 2 said, "Trail closed due to unsafe conditions." Orange sawhorses, green traffic cones and half a dozen gates have been installed along the walkway.
A new hotel could break ground as soon as this fall in the El Rancho area on vacant land at Tepees Way and Swede Gulch Road behind Home Depot and Walmart.
The project is rapidly making its way through the Jefferson County Planning and Zoning process, since the property is already zoned for commercial development and there is no need for rezoning or a public hearing before the Planning Commission.
A community meeting was held in October to introduce neighbors to the plan.
A gas stove flickers bright orange in the Evergreen Nature Center, where new executive director Colleen Kulesza pulls up a chair as raindrops hit Evergreen Lake outside. Built in the 1930s, the historic warming hut and its lack of central heating or plumbing was just one more inducement for Kulesza.
"Look at this building! It's gorgeous! Like, I could do that," she said.

The iPhone 5 was available for purchase in the stores yesterday and to beat the lines I decided this time I would preorder, not have any shipping or handling charges and enjoy the convenience of just having it shipped directly to my house.
Let's take a step back and talk about what happened when the iPhone 4 or as I like to call it the "4" came out. I can remember like it was yesterday. I was at work and didn't have time to go to AT&T, beat the lines, and buy it. Plus after some research I had learned I could sell my iPhone 3 online and people would be very eager to buy it. I wanted to sell my 3 first and then use that money to buy the 4. So as the day went on about 2 in the afternoon I received a call from a coworker. She informed me the AT&T store still had quite a few of the 4 left and there were NO lines. I'm not afraid to admit it now, but I left work (was still on the clock) and made a quick run to AT&T and purchased two iPhone 4 for me and my wife. As soon as I got home I put our iPhone 3 on eBay and they sold in less than one week. It actually was pretty smooth.
Fast forward 2 years yesterday. The iPhone 5 is released and instead of going to AT&T I sit at home, check my computer and check the status of my order. Every day for the past week it says "processing" your order. What does that mean? To my credit I did preorder my iPhone on the second day it was available for preorder. I also learned my friend preordered his iPhone the very first day of the preorder sale and he too is still waiting to get his iPhone 5. This makes absolutely no sense to me. If a consumer is willing to spend the money to buy a product 7 days before you can buy it in the store why are we the ones who have to wait. Reports show that nearly 2 million iPhones were sold in the first 24 hours of the presale, but that is not an excuse. Making those people wait is a huge mistake. Apple had to know the phone was going to be extremely popular and they needed to manufacture enough. I would never believe an Apple representative if they came out and said, "Oh we had no idea the demand would be this great."
I can understand the people who live in a big city would preorder because reports of the wait was ridiculous, but for those of us who live in a small city (yes Duluth is small) preordering just isn't necessary and I won't be doing that again. I guess this may be another example of how Americans want things now and not wait, but in this situation I have absolutely no reason why I should have to wait. Oh and I'm sure you are wondering but I have already sold my 4 on eBay.
I still check the status of my order probably about 4 times a day (OK it is probably more like 10) and when my new iPhone 5 comes to my door it will be one of the most amazing days ever.

One Direction just might make you cry all the tears after you watch their video for "Story of My Life." Why? In the brand-new visual from the boy band, they really feel nostalgic.
The Ben Winston-directed clip opens with 1D developing film in their own personal dark room. The camera pans to some of the pictures, and the premise for the video really starts to come together. The visual, rather creatively, recreates childhood photos of the guys.
A dated photo of Zayn Malik is the first to get a modern recreation. After Directioners get the initial look at an original pic of him and his sister chilling in their bedroom, it's brought to life with Zayn's sis taking his side.
All five guys pay tribute to the stories of their lives in that way. While in the grown-up versions of the video, each of the guys spend some time in those moments and places. Niall Horan is up next. His photo features him playing violin, joined by his brother who is playing guitar. Niall is not only sporting a lovely sweater, but also darker-looking locks. Oh, the days before he had to hit the salon for beauty!
Liam Payne recreated a photo of himself in formal wear posing with his sisters, mom and dad.
Meanwhile, Harry Styles opted for a photo of himself eating sausages while sitting on the couch with his mom. So, if you ever wanted to know what that looked like, this video provides the visual, in two times of his life.
And, finally, Louis Tomlinson's moment is a bit more somber. His photo, as he previously tweeted features the "screen debut for the grandparents," but when the photo cuts back to the adult version, two of the folks from the original photo are no longer around.
In between shots of the guys paying homage to their childhoods, they are also featured performing in a big space, filled with more photos of the guys. As the video begins to end, the photos turn back into their original form. And, as expected, all the boy banders are pretty adorable as kids.
Winston also directed the boys' VMA-winning "Best Song Ever" visual . The premise of the "Story" video was teased earlier this month when 1D released childhood photos of themselves to announce the song's release.
"Story of My Life" is the second single off the band's November 25 album release, Midnight Memories .

MADRID, Spain—In only its second cabinet meeting after taking power Dec. 22, Spain's brand new right-leaning government has green-lit a law intended to deal a severe blow to digital piracy by allowing the courts to close or block websites accused of profiting from the illegal downloading of copyrighted content. Spain is reportedly responsible for 20 percent of the global illegal downloads of the top 10 films from 2010, and the embrace of this new law is intended to signal a dramatic change of heart for a country accused of having a "horrendous" track-record enforcing copyright.
"Spanish courts have repeatedly ruled against the entertainment industry arguing webpages don't offer copyrighted content, but links to connect to servers located in countries immune to Western legislation," stated Billboard.biz earlier this month. "Furthermore, these indexing pages—as they are commonly known—also serve for legal exchanges, and judges have ruled freedom of expression trumps others considerations."
The so-called Sinde Law—named after outgoing Culture Minister Ángeles González-Sinde—was actually passed by the Spanish Parliament in February, but former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's Socialist government failed to enact the specific regulations that would inform it and it was never implemented.
Zapatero took the blame, stating, "In view of the debate, it was my decision. There were some cabinet ministers, as well as an uproar taking place on the web, that put into question approval [of the antipiracy rules] by a caretaker government, even if the [government-elect] had been told."
The new center-right government wasted no time in enacting the law, however, passing it Friday evening after having been in office for less than a week. The law, which, according to news reports, gives websites "ten days to close down their sites after a government committee identifies reports of violations and gains backing from a judge on a case by case basis," went into effect immediately upon its approval by the new government.
As historic as the new law may be for Spain, the version that passed was considered so watered down from an earlier version being considered that the prominent Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia resigned in February as president of the Spanish Film Academy. His main complaint was that the new law extended the takedown period from 48 hours to about two weeks, and that a digital canon that was to have been imposed on electronic purchases and earmarked for copyright owners to make up for lost revenue was stripped from the bill.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, "Critics argued [the digital canon's] unconstitutionality in addition to claiming it confused the public into thinking it was acceptable to download illegally since they had paid a tax."

Jowls. Do you have them? Are you trying to prevent them? The word "jowls" conjures up the image of loose, sagging facial skin. It was once believed that nothing could help alleviate loose, sagging skin without going under the knife. Unfortunately, this loss of elasticity is all too common as we age. Today I'll share five ways to tighten loose, sagging skin on the face.
1. Make an egg white mask.
If you are in need of an instant "face lift" with immediate results for a special occasion, head to your kitchen and make an egg white and cornstarch mask. The results will be temporary, but they will be noticeable! Separate the white from the yolk of a large egg. Whisk the egg white in a dish and add in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix well. With a skincare brush or your clean fingertips, apply a generous amount of the mask to your face. Avoid the eyes. Lie down (this is important) for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water.
2. Eat a diet low in processed sugar.
Did you know that eating a diet high in processed sugar actually can cause a breakdown of collagen in the skin? It's true. By eating too much sugar, you are making your skin age faster. Skip the soft drinks and drink water or unsweetened iced tea instead. Have a fruit cup instead of cake. It just takes some conscious choices to help prevent skin sagging.
3. Drink plenty of water.
We've said it before and we'll say it again–the more hydrated you are, the healthier your skin will be. Not only does consuming water help keep your complexion clear, it may help relieve skin sagging. Why? Drinking water helps your liver flush out toxins and nourish your skin cells. This can result in a plumper, firmer appearance to the facial skin.
4. Apply retinol cream at night.
Retinol is derived from Vitamin A and is a potent anti-aging and firming ingredient. This active ingredient is known for its wrinkle-fighting ability. Over time, it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and firm loose skin. It is important that you only use this ingredient at night, though, as it causes photosensitivity. I recommend Alpha Hydrox Retinol Night Res-Q. While not paraben-free, I have found this to be the most effective over the counter treatment.
5. Try Manuka honey.
Manuka honey is not your average honey sold in the squeeze bottles at the grocery store. This unique honey actually comes from bees who feed on the tea tree plant. Manuka honey has been shown to boost collagen levels in the skin, neutralize free radicals, stimulate circulation, and increase skin elasticity. This is a wonderful natural ingredient for loose, sagging skin.
Tightening Loose Skin Naturally
Rapid weight loss and aging are the most common causes of loose, sagging skin. While most treatments for this involve expensive trips to the plastic surgeon, there are natural ways to tighten loose facial skin. Know that these will take time. Stick with it and in a few weeks, you should start to see results.

By Gregg Bell - UW Director of Writing

SEATTLE - Keith Price was all over the field last weekend at LSU.
Some of it was by design.
Some of it was by his own initiative, in his new, growing role as an upperclassman and Huskies' leader.
Most of it, though, was because he was running for his life.
Early last Saturday night in Baton Rouge, when UW's sputtering was beginning to get louder, the redshirt-junior quarterback was along the sideline during an ESPN TV timeout smiling like he always does. He was chatting up a teammate, even a member of the Tiger Stadium chain gang.
When it got to 20-3 LSU, Price was on the sidelines clapping and shouting encouragement to the Huskies' defense and then the kickoff-return team. He was directing his offensive linemen, which have recently been changing as much as UW's down and yards to go. He was moving a parade of young running backs, none of whom had started a game before this month, around different formations. He was trying to get on the same pages with his receivers, two of them freshmen playing their second college games.
He was trying to do all that - while most of all trying to stay upright and intact.
The relentless LSU defense sacked him four times. The Tigers hit him many more times than that. They put him in such a mental vice that minutes after the Huskies' 41-3 loss ended Price shook his head just off the Tiger Stadium field and said, without any hint of his trademark smile: "I felt it. I felt the pressure."
So I'm not even let you finish the question, "What's wrong with Ke..."
"Oh, man, it comes with the territory," Price said with a shrug and his characteristic, wide grin that was back following practice Wednesday. "I knew what I was getting myself into when I was eight years old playing this position (in the Bellflower, Calif., Pop Warner league).
"Definitely, you get frustrated, because you feel you should be performing at that (previous) level. But it's not just me. It's everyone around me that has to help out, too."
That's exactly the point.
He's been trying to be everything, to everyone, in his new role as upperclassman and undeniable leader of not just the offense but the entire team.
I knew what I was getting myself into when I was eight years old playing this position.
Yet more so than any team sport, football demands the complete, cohesive efficiency of an entire unit to consistently succeed. Basketball can have the one shooter that goes off for 30 and carries you to victory. A baseball pitcher can single-handedly shut down a lineup. A goaltender can stonewall an opponent all by himself to win a hockey game.
Football? I don't care if you are part Joe Montana, Tom Brady and Johnny Unitas. If a quarterback doesn't consistently have time to throw or men to catch or a full complement of healthy, available teammates he will not succeed with much, if any, regularity.
Now, Price and his Huskies aren't exactly failing. They are 1-1 entering Saturday's 1p.m. game against Portland State (1-1) at CenturyLink Field, and then have 12 days off before hosting Stanford in the Pac-12 opener.
But it just feels worse because Price has set exceedingly high standards of excellence for himself and his Huskies offense.
So high, only he can complete 25 of 35 passes - a completion rate four percent higher than the UW season record of 66.9 he set last fall, in the first 25-completion game since Jake Locker in 2009 - then state he was "terrible." That's what he did opening night against San Diego State, when he was coolly efficient despite constant pressure by the Aztecs.
"Oh, they are high right now. Very high," he said of his own standards.
He was chuckling, as if he was thinking "you don't even know."
"Obviously, I didn't get off to the start I got off to last year, which is understandable. But it's a long season. We've only played two games," he said. "We'll make plays. I'm confident in our guys. And I know. We are going to make a lot of big plays this week -- and this season."
He has one touchdown and one interception through two games. Last season at this point, two games into replacing Locker full time, Price had seven TD throws and one interception on his way to a Huskies-record 33 scoring passes.
But in 2011 he didn't have injuries to 18 key contributors. He didn't have 66-80 percent of his starting offensive line changed because of injuries and the graduation of linchpin left tackle Senio Kelemete. That is what Price has been dealing with already this season.
Yet he is not going to offer that, or anything else, as an excuse. It's part of a new KP17, new as of a Monday sit-down with coach Steve Sarkisian.
He gets what you are thinking: Don't give me excuses about injuries. Or youth. Or pressure.
It's all about wins.
Asked about how hard it is to play with what's going on in front of him on the offensive line, Price chuckled.
"You know, that's not my job," he said. "My job is not what is going on with the offensive line. (My job is) when I need to get the ball out and make certain reads and make certain throws, make them.
"We've just got to make plays."
Control what he's tasked to control. Nothing more.
"Just keep doing what I'm doing, and not get caught up in what's going on around me," he said. "Just focus on myself."
Sarkisian was a star quarterback in college at Brigham Young, the man who led the Cougars to the first 14-win season in major-college football history in 1996. But that was a season after he threw 14 interceptions with 20 touchdowns. So he's been where Price is now.
"When you're struggling and they are getting pressure on you it's understandable," Sarkisian said of Price's subpar start, by his standard.
Colin Tanigawa's absences from practice this week make him the third starting blocker missing time. Erik Kohler moved from right guard to right tackle when Ben Riva broke his forearm in the opener. Then Kohler's knee cap dislocated at LSU for the second time in a month. Sarkisian said he is out for this Saturday.
The fourth returning starting linemen, guard Colin Porter, had to retire from football in April because of degenerative conditions in both shoulders.
Sarkisian believes all the absences and changes on the offensive line in particular have been on the mind of Price during games, leading the quarterback to worry about real issues and even potential ones he cannot control.
In turn, the coach believes those worries have been cluttering Price's usually electric, free-flowing play. He spoke with Price about it on Monday.
"We'll do some types of things from a protection standpoint where he won't have to be as concerned about what's going on up front," Sarkisian said.
That may mean keeping extra tight ends and backs in to help "chip" on charging pass rushers. That may mean only two or three receivers go out in patterns instead of five.
"He has dealt with adversity before, obviously last year with injuries and things that he had to deal with. All of that adversity was from within, so he was focused on himself and ultimately played at a really high level," Sarkisian said.
We've got to get him to shift his attention to Keith Price, No. 17. And I think he understands that.
"Right now he's got some adversity that's going on around him. And I think he is trying to fix that adversity rather than focusing on himself. So we've got to get him to shift his attention to Keith Price, No. 17...
"And I think he understands that."
Price has been focusing on his new job as veteran team leader since talking about it an hour or so after he scored seven combined touchdowns in December's Alamo Bowl. He didn't spend a day - not a single one - at home in Compton, Calif., this offseason from January into July. Instead he sought to set the leadership example in formal and informal workouts on and off UW's campus.
That's why it's great for him that his mother, Shaundra, and his grandmother who helped raise him, Gail Manuel, come to all his games. They were even on the sidelines of East Field at Wednesday's practice, standing a few feet away and smiling as Price talked.
Manuel has helped raise Keith, his 11-year-old sister M-Kayla, and younger brother Kaelon, 16. She helped keep them out of the trouble other kids were finding in Compton on the ultra-hard, south side of Los Angeles.
"Oh, yeah, every week. Every week. They make it to every game," he said.
"I am fortunate to have them."
In July Price succeeded Locker and Chris Polk last year as the face of the Huskies when he represented them at Pac-12 media day in Los Angeles. That was his first time home since the Huskies' game at USC last fall. A few weeks later he was in Louisiana, joining USC's Matt Barkley as star counselors at Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning's annual summer passing academy for high school players.
So, yeah, when you are spending part of your summer with Super Bowl winners, NFL MVPs and a member of the College Football Hall of Fame - not to mention competing on and off the field with the presumed front-runner for this season's Heisman Trophy - your standards tend to rise.
I asked Sarkisian if Price's added efforts in trying to lead the entire team may be contributing to him wanting to fix any and all purple-and-gold adversity he sees, whether it's in his lane or not.
"I think so. That's all part of it," Sarkisian said. "And there's a fine line in there. He wants to do so well for his team and he wants his team to do so well that he just wants to help in any way that I can, where some of that is out of his realm of responsibility. And he can't control if the left tackle doesn't get out of his stance and he can't control if the running back doesn't understand what protection we are in and doesn't block a blitzer off the back edge. He can't control that stuff.
"He's got to control the things that he can control, and by doing so he'll perform at a higher level.''
So Keith, is it a natural thing for him as a leader to be worrying about all around him, more than just himself during games?
"I think the natural thing is when the offense is not going the way that I expect it to go that I push too hard," he said, flatly. "I just need to settle down and just let the offense work for me."
Price thought his fourth-down interception into coverage on a failed rollout in the second half at LSU was an example of pushing too hard.
I actually feel better. I feel like a better quarterback.
"If the circumstances were a little different I would have probably thrown the ball away. But we were down and I was trying to make a play," he said.
"It's just about not forcing things."
Here's something else: Last year, Price had veteran, go-to receivers in seniors Jermaine Kearse and Devin Aguilar. They always ran the same depth on their routes, always cut at the same time to the same place. Price could rely on that like the sun rising and falling. He also had a 1,200-yard rusher now in the NFL in Polk that kept defenses from solely game planning to stop Price.
Now? Not so much - at least not this early in the season.
Though extraordinarily gifted with size, speed and leaping ability, sophomore Kasen Williams is still working on consistency in his route running. So is sophomore tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Sarkisian loves Jaydon Mickens and Kendyl Taylor for their speed, but the true freshmen are just two games into their UW careers - and Mickens got a turf-toe ligament injury at LSU.
And the Huskies lost their lead runner to replace Polk, Jesse Callier, to a season-ending knee injury in the first half of the opening game. Washington hasn't scored an offensive touchdown in seven quarters since.
Sure, quarterback is the most important position in sports. But like I said, it takes more than one guy to succeed.
"You know what, I will never give you an excuse of why we didn't play well," Sarkisian said. "It's obviously pretty clear we've dealt with some pretty significant injuries on our roster.
"That being said, when I look at our starting 22, I like those guys when we go take the field. And we are more than capable of going to win big football games. And I think we'll see that as the season goes on."
And, trust me, he likes no one more than Keith Price.
"I actually feel better. I feel like a better quarterback," Price said. "I am more confident in myself. I know what to expect from myself. I just believe I am better overall."
It's just a matter of time - and healing by others - before we see what he's talking about.

Cry Exchange How To...
Setup Exchange as a Backup Email Server for another site
Exchange can be configured to act as a Backup Email Server for another site. The role of a backup email server is to receive email when your primary exchange server is down - you can see a more lengthy description of a backup mail server here. These notes cover how to configure Exchange to act as a backup email server for another site.
There are three major steps involved in using Exchange 2003 as a backup email server:
These steps are covered in detail below.
Configure the backup email server
These steps configure the backup email Exchange server to queue up emails destined for the primary email server, until requested by the primary.
On the backup email server:
The backup email server is now configured to store emails for the primary, and to deliver these only when the primary requests them.
Configure the primary email server to download mail from the backup
The primary email server needs to be configured to download emails from the backup.
On the primary email server:
Update the MX records so other email servers know about the backup
Email servers known where to send emails by looking up MX records for your email domain. Before you update the MX records for your domain it would be wise to test that the backup email server is working. A simple test is to send an email directly to the backup email server and then check that it is queued up and ultimately delivered to your primary email server. A simple way of ending an email via the backup server is to use telnet to send the email.
You will need to do the following or ask your domain name registrar to do it for you:
What you need to do is to add a new MX Record, to point to the DNS name of your backup email server and with a slightly higher priority than that of your primary email server.
You can view that MX records for your server by typing the following at the command line:
nslookup -type=mx cryer.co.uk
simply substitute your domain name for cryer.co.uk in the above example.
These notes have been tested with Exchange Server 2003.

A Bashas' supermarket location in Flagstaff is closed after the store's roof caught fire Monday evening.
No one was injured in the fire, and minimal damage was done to the inside of the store at 1000 N. Humphreys St., said Kristy Jozwiak, Bashas' spokeswoman.
The fire is believed to have started on the roof, but the store's front patio area suffered the most damage. It is still unclear how the fire started.
Flagstaff Fire Department Capt. Mark Johnson estimated the cost of damages at $250,000 to $500,000, but Bashas' is still calculating its own damage estimate. The amount of food that had contact with smoke is still undetermined and will influence the final cost of the fire, Johnson said.
"Smoke holds all sorts of nasty stuff," Johnson said. "Anything that can absorb smoke is an absolute loss."
Jozwiak said that Bashas' hopes to reopen the store by Thursday or Friday. But because Bashas' is working with the Health Department and other city officials, Jozwiak said certain inspections might delay the reopening until next week.
Bashas' is working with the Flagstaff Fire Department as they investigate what caused the fire. Bashas' leases the store location, and the owner of the property is involved in the investigation as well.
The fire, which caused very little damage to the inside of the store, was not noticed by customers at first. Teresa Quinlan, Bashas' merchandising manager, and Chris Campbell, a clerk, helped evacuate the store.
Quinlan used the public-address system to inform customers and other employees of the fire and the need to exit the store. Customers left shopping carts full of groceries behind as they evacuated the building. Quinlan and Campbell then did a sweep of the store to make sure everyone was out.
"(Quinlan) did exactly what she needed to do," Johnson said.
Johnson said Quinlan's decision-making skills and quick thinking helped the firefighters focus their attention on putting out the fire since no one needed to be rescued.
"Bashas' thanks Teresa for saving people's lives and thanks the Fire Department for saving the building," said Jozwiak.
Flagstaff Fire Department has said the fire was started by a person but that no malicious intent was apparent. That investigation is still under way.
Bashas' has two locations in Flagstaff. The store on Woodlands Village Boulevard is still open and is the larger of the two. Bashas' is expecting the Woodlands Village store to be busier while the other location is closed.
Bashas' employees from the Humphreys Street store will work shifts at the Woodlands Village location until their store reopens.

You wouldn't think that that making reggae sound jazzy would work, but it does when it's Monty Alexander who does it. He caresses the keys and draws out the soulfully jazzy side of reggae.
Monty Alexander will be at the Howard Theatre tonight, June 13, 2014 and will share the stage with Tony Rebel, Bob Andy, Duane Stephenson, Etienne Charles and Wayne Escoffery. He started out playing the piano at the tender age of 6 and was soon exploring jazz piano at age 14.
Alexander has played with jazz greats like Milt Jackson, Ernest Ranglin, Ed Thigpen and performed with Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Golson, Jimmy Griffin and Frank Morgan. He formed a reggae group in the 1990's and released several reggae albums with them.
An ode to his beloved Jamaica, this concert will bring together his two loves--jazz and reggae in one beautiful marriage of mellow jazz punctuated by the undulating pulse of reggae. To learn more about him and his music, visit his official website and become a fan on Facebook.
To learn more about his concert, visit the Howard Theatre website or call (202) 803-2899 for more information.

Bullet GT
The Vapid Bullet GT is a supercar featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
The Bullet GT is evidently based on the Bullet, a similarly designed sports car from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It shares similar design cues with the Ford GT like the waterfall hood scoop and body shape. The louvers over the rear windscreen are similar to those featured on the Lamborghini Miura. The plush interior is derived from the Grotti Turismo and features sport bucket seats finished in tan leather.
Much like various newly designed cars in TBoGT, the car lacks external badging indicating its manufacturer; however, police chatter refers to the car as a "Vapid Bullet GT" in the same vein as the Ford GT.
The Bullet GT has a top speed of at least 225 km/h (140 MPH), and is arguably the fastest car in the TBoGT DLC butting heads with the Comet, the Turismo, the Police Stinger, and the Coquette. The Bullet GT has a neutral handling set up and is extremely balanced. The Bullet GT is also fairly durable compared with other super cars, especially the fragile Comet. Unlike the real Ford GT, which has a relatively low-revving (compared to European cars) supercharged 5.4L V-8, the Bullet GT's engine is naturally-aspirated and high-revving.
- The Bullet GT plays either Electro-Choc or Radio Broker by default when entered.
- The player can spawn the Bullet GT via cheat code by dialing "227-555-9666".
- Henrique Bardas can acquire one for the player after the mission No. 3.
- Commonly spawns in Algonquin, especially the southern half of the island.
- Fairly common in Alderney.
- The Bullet GT is used in the Drug Wars as an vehicle packed with drugs, many of these have special paintjobs not seen anywhere else.
- More common in multiplayer around these locations than in single player.
- The Bullet GT is used during Triathlons. The player can obtain a unique green and black Bullet GT in this event.

With 30 miles long and 5 miles at its widest point, Napa Valley is home of the most world-renowned wines. Per Napa Valley Vintners reports "Cabernet Sauvignon is the acknowledged king of red grapes in Napa Valley, accounting for 40% of our total production and 55% of our crop value. This vine is grown throughout Napa Valley and achieves a variety of expression depending on its vineyard site. Its flavors display a wide variety of black fruits, including currant, cherry and plum and often show notes of spice from oak aging."
With such unique attributes, it is fitting that the "king of grapes," finally has its own festival in Napa Valley. Over the past weekend Cabernet lovers were able to taste, amongst the best Napa Valley wines.
CabFest Napa Valley (CabFestNV) kicked-off Friday, February 28, 2014, with a concert with Jeff Bridges and his country-rock band, The Abiders. The concert began with Bridge's daughter Jessie Bridges, as the show opener. Immediately afterward, the hottest ticket of the weekend admitted VIP level ticket holders to the intimate and exclusive, sold out "Cigars & Guitars" after-party that resulted in an impromptu series of short duets by Jeff Bridges and his daughter who played a second set for the VIPs. Partygoers stopped Jeff Bridges to snap photos as he made his way through the crowd to the Cigar Aficionado Magazine's cigar-sampling tent.
The official opening of CabFestNV was Saturday, March 1, 2014, and the celebration continued on Sunday. The Napa Valley Performing Arts Center at Lincoln Theater was the home of the first ever CabFestNV. The Center is also the beneficiary of the event proceeds. With over one hundred participating wineries showcasing premium Napa Valley Cabernets, the festival marks a great start for a new annual winter event.
The film "Napa Valley Rocks" was screened both days of the festival at the Lincoln Theater. The documentary film produced, as an appellation educational tool by the Napa Valley Vintners, showcases what makes the Napa Valley unique and distinctive from other world wine regions.
James Beard Award winning author of The Wine Bible and educator, Karen MacNeil served as keynote speaker for both days of CabFest NV. Her keynote opening presentation on Saturday "What Makes Great Cabernet Sauvignon Great," presented her interesting perspective of Cabernets wine attributes.
Early tallies from CabFestNV organizers indicate that most of the 2,000 attendees were visiting from afar, nearly 70% were from outside of Napa Valley, including guests from 17 states other than California, along with a section of international visitors.
Michael Madden, Executive Director of the Napa Valley Performing Arts Center at Lincoln Theater expressed: "When we planned CabFestNV we knew that we would create an approachable, fun-yet-classy event that would benefit wine consumers, wineries and our performing arts education programs. The result was nothing short of fantastic! I feel that we truly hit a home run, and believe that CabFestNV will become one of the most significant and regularly anticipated wine events in the country. The feedback from participating wineries and attendees was positive. It was an exciting, and gratifying, weekend."
The Napa Valley Performing Arts Center at Lincoln Theater is Napa Valley's premiere performing arts venue as well as a leading provider of arts education and outreach. Located in the heart of the Napa Valley on the grounds of the historic Veterans Home of California, Napa Valley Performing Arts Center is home to the Lincoln Theater, a twelve hundred-seat state-of-the-art performance venue. The Performing Arts Center offers a wide variety of year-round performances featuring community and educational programming and world-class entertainment, including its resident Symphony Napa Valley.

A gay re-telling of Charles Dickens' classic "Oliver Twist." Updated to current times, moved out of the poor house and onto the streets, the tale is told from the point of Dickens' character, Artful Dodger--now "Dodge." The prosaically beautiful Oliver falls into the hands of down-and-out young men. Dodge takes the young man under his wing and instructs him in the unforgiving arts of drug abuse and prostitution. As Oliver's innocence dissolves, both young men confront inner and outer demons and, strangely, it is Dodge who finds he cannot escape his past.

Next Wed, July 23, TCM's newest guest programmer is the director of such classics as "The Exorcist," "The French Connection," William Friedkin. This prime-time event starts at 8 p.m. ET and it's a four movie event. The following four movies that will be airing are:
1. "Bullitt" (8 p.m.)
Peter Yates directed this popular 1968 cop thriller that starred Steve McQueen in one of his most iconic roles. In the film McQueen played a police officer that will stop at nothing to figure out the murder of his key witness that was against a mobster. Jacqueline Bisset also starred in this Yates movie.
2. "The Treasures of the Sierra Madre" (10:15)
John Huston directed this adventure epic that starred Humphrey Bogart. The 1948 movie is about three prospectors that deal with greed and gold in the Mexican mountains. Huston won for Best Director for the movie and his father Walter Huston won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
3. "Belle de Jour" (12:30 a.m.)
"Belle de Jour," is one of the movies to put French actress Catherine Deneuve on the map. Luis Bunuel directed the movie and this 1967 flick is about a bored housewife that decides to to spend her free time has a prostitute.
4. "Blow-Up" (2:15)
Michelangelo Antonioni directed this 1966 movie that is about a photographer that discovers a murder in the background of one of his photos. Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, and David Hemming all starred in the movie.
So that's the list of movies that William Friedkin picked. It's a very interesting and diverse list of movies from a classic crime thriller like "Bullitt" to the Luis Bunuel foreign drama that starred "Belle de Jour." So once again this airs on July 23 on TCM starting 8 p.m. ET.
