It is of utmost importance to delete all NO segments from the PNR to prevent unnecessary costs to Turkish Airlines and ADM to travel service provider that do not comply with this policy.

Bramble on United clash
by Stuart Vose
Defender looking forward to Easter test.
Titus Bramble says Sunderland will be glad to return to league action this weekend following the international break.
Bramble has been amongst a number of players who have remained on Wearside while their colleagues are away with their respective countries.
"After the game against Norwich we wanted another game straight away, but it wasn't to be with the fixture list," he said.
"It's been a long couple of weeks without a game."
Manchester United are this weekend's visitors and make the journey north boasting a comfortable 15-point lead at the top of the table.
Bramble admits a tough test is in prospect against a "fantastic" team, but feels his side are capable of pulling off a positive result.
"You never know in this league and that's why it's the best league in the world," he said. "Anyone can beat anyone.
"It was a shame we didn't start well [at Old Trafford earlier in the season], but we played well for the last half-hour.
"Manchester United have a fantastic squad and whatever team they put out will be full of internationals."

It's hard to say something consoling in the face of death, even when the person who died lived a full life and died in the best of circumstances. It's especially hard when the one who's died is a young person, writes Ron Rolheiser.
As a priest, I have, a number of times, had to preside at the funeral of someone who died young, either as the result of illness, accident, or suicide. Such a funeral is always doubly sad. I remember one such funeral in particular: A high-school student had died in a car accident. The church was over-packed with his grieving family, friends, and classmates. His mother, still a young woman herself, was in the front pew, heavy with grief about her loss.
There aren't many words that are helpful in a situation like this, but the few that we have say what needs to be said - even if on that day, when death is still so raw, they don't yet bring much emotional consolation. What's to be said in face of a death like this? Simply that this young boy is now in more-loving, more-tender, gentler, and safer hands than ours, that there's a mother on the other side to receive him and give him the nurturing he still needs, just as there was one on this side when he was born. No one is born, except into a mother's arms. That's an image we need to keep before us in order to more healthily imagine death.
What, more precisely, is the image? Few images are as primal, and as tender, as that of a mother holding and cradling her newborn baby. Indeed the words of the most-renowned Christmas carol of all time, Silent Night, were inspired by precisely this image. Joseph Mohr, a young priest in Germany, had gone out to a cottage in the woods on the afternoon of Christmas Eve to baptize a newborn baby. As he left the cottage, the baby was asleep in its mother's lap.
He was so taken with that image, with the depth and peace it incarnated, that, immediately upon returning to his rectory, he penned the famous lines of Silent Night. His choir director, Franz Gruber, put some guitar chords to those words and froze them in our minds forever. The ultimate archetypal image of peace, safety, and security is that of a newborn sleeping in its mother's arms. Moreover, when a baby is born, it's not just the mother who's eager to hold and cradle it. Most everyone else is too.
Perhaps no image then is as apt, as powerful, as consoling, and as accurate in terms of picturing what happens to us when we die and awake to eternal life as is the image of a mother holding and cradling her newborn child.

One Direction's Harry Styles Scores Advice From Kate Moss
One Direction's Harry Styles has a brand new £3million home in London, and now he's looking to decorate it - with the help of Kate Moss.
He's reportedly called in the supermodel for a little style advice… of the interior decorating kind. Wouldn't it be useful having Kate on your speed dial?
A source told The Sun: "Harry has a rough idea what he wanted the place to look like but didn't really know where to a start.
"Kate has given him a list of her trusted furnishing contacts and her favourite shops and told him to get on to them.
"She's even given him the number of her florist. Kate thinks Harry's really sweet and she's more than happy to help him out."
What we wouldn't give for Kate's contacts book - Harry's one lucky guy! BS

Hey Leanne and viewers! I am teaching live private guitar, bass and ukulele lessons on Skype.
Please visit to schedule your free lesson: www.jeffrey-thomas.com
Thanks! Jeff
I just got emailed by Glen Wolfgang who is a new member with a link to getting new students. Turned out to be a link to a survey when I clicked it. I hope this guy has now introduced a virus.
Thanks. The Justinguitar Beginner's Course (w/2 CDs) looks like what she is interested in. I'll try to get her to buy the video also. For now this is the best I can do for her.
i think the best site out there for self-learners is justingguitar.com. have her take a look at justin's beginners course. every lesson on his site is free and he is really good at explaining things. it's online instruction but i wouldn't describe it as a class. there is so much available via youtube for someone who just wants to get playing. i first learned from a book. sure wish i had had the internet!
If she won't take lessons from a regular Teacher, then have her take lessons from her computer.
I would like some advice. I know someone who wants to learn to play guitar. She played piano when she was a teenager. Typical of beginners, she doesn't know what she wants to play (claccial, blues, rock, folk, etc.) but she listens to a lot of pop music. She is in her mid-60s and has a guitar. I have not yet had a chance to check her guitar out to ensure it is something she will have a good experience with.
I highy reccommended she take lessons but she is not open to that. She is a school teacher and I think part of the problem is her time management.
She is asking what book she can buy to learn from. No, she doesn't want to do on-line classes. I'm not sure what book woud be good for someone like her. Do you have a recommendation? I would like to see her get something with an accompanying CD or DVD (so she can hear what it's supposed to sound like). Very difficult to take the place of a teacher, but I'm hoping she will like the guitar and see that to pursue this will require a good teacher... she will see the light!
Any ideas?
Thanks much,
I hope to put the question in the right place
I´m looking for the name of the first song that sound in this video
And tablature if it could be
Much light!!
Haven't been on here in a while. Pretty busy with all the things going on.
I have Guliani's studies and I use them also for my students, but I like to start them off with some music. The faster we get to playing some songs, the happier they will be with their instrument. Ode to Joy is always right up front with a short lesson on reading TAB. It get them going and it is an easy piece to play.
I use Hal Leonard's Complete book (has all 3 in one volume). It's not my perfect ideal, but it cover quite a bit and I use it to intro new concepts and techniques.
I watched the Etudes you put on YT and those are really nice. I'm not a classical player but I can see the value of them. They might be a bit over the head for most up front however. I have written a few very simple etudes of my own to help introduce new techniques to my students. Mostly for drilling to get the fingers working the way they want them to.
I'm rambling a bit here, but I wanted to get this out before I forgot it all. LOL Back to practice! :D
I noticed that. I signed up with the sole teacher in my area who plays in a band and teaches "guitar" - jazz, country, classical, blues, R&R, all genres. I took classical lessons from him for six months before I quit for a couple of reasons. The biggest reason was he had me doing Guiliani's 120 Studies for the Right Hand - and nothing else. Six months, and almost $400, of this was too much.
Each lesson I was assigned one or two of these, went home to practice, and I showed up next week to prove in 30 minutes that I could do it and we would move on to the next one or two. I've mentioned it here before, but I was taking lessons from him for about a month when I could not play without severe cramping of my left hand and wrist. When I told him I could not play because of the pain, and asked for advice, he said, "Well, most classical guitarists rest the guitar on their left knee - not on the right as you have been doing." Why the %$#@ didn't he tell me this earlier?
To say I was bored would be a gross undersatement! I wanted to play! I've been playing guitar for over 45 years (R&R, blues, folok) and I've been playing three-finger banjo (bluegrass and classical) for 30. I have a fairly well developed right hand, and timing, but of course I had to learn to add the "A" finger. I really wish he would have helped me work through some miniatures, as you call them, such as yours.
After I quit I bought the book (comes with a CD) of Fifty Easy Classical Guitar Solos. I have had a great time adding my own intros and endings to these little pieces. I learned a dozen or so of them but have not had much time to devote to anything lately. One thing I am proud of is I arranged a version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on my own. I'm very happy with it and consider it as good, or better, than any other version I've ever heard.
Thanks, again, for posting these. Your music is pleasantly varied and I saw right away that the right hand gets a work-out. Do you include advice on hand position, how to avoid "flying fingers," and other instructions to help the student obtain that flow you mentioned? Do you have them on a CD (I find that it helps if the student has an idea of what the piece is supposed to sound like)?
Much more interesting and satisfying than the 120 Studies (which I completed on my own, by the way). I heartily recommend that teachers, such as my former teacher, consider augmenting right hand mechanics with actually playing something!
Thanks again,
Thank you for viewing the videos Michael,
As a teacher I'm sure that you have encountered many guitarists with poor right hand technique.
I writing these pieces I used interesting and diverse styles of music, where the role of the left hand is simplified by use of similar chords and patterns.
This gives the guitarist an opportunity to focus on his right hand and, assisted by patterns and repitition, allows it to loosen up - letting the music f l o w !

The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park will captivate your attention with their current production Venus in Fur. It is an adaptation of 2010 Off Broadway hit that intrigued audiences and left them questioning what is normal in a relationship and how far can that term be pushed. Audiences prepare to be enticed, with this intelligently stimulating and highly seductive dark comedy.
The story is of a playwright/director Thomas. He is passionate about his adaptation of a classic erotic masterpiece. He has been interviewing all day various actresses to play the female role in his production. Thomas is tired and frustrated about ready to leave the office and go home. Vanda, an out of work actress comes in out of the rain seeking this opportunity to read for the role. Thomas tries to get her to go away and come back at another time for a reading. She won't take no for an answer, and a chemistry develops between them. They start acting out the character's thoughts and intentions in this story. Thomas and Vanda start to become confused as this goes on blurring the line as to what is the story and what is real.
KJ Sanchez has done a excellent job in directing this stage production of Venus in Fur. She persistently draws out the characters vulnerabilities, and desires, almost like peeling an onion exposing more. Previously, she directed Seven Spots on the Sun for the Playhouse.
Greta Wohlrabe in the role of Vanda was amazing, she could switch between the character's many levels seamlessly whether silly, to intense, next commanding.
PJ Sosko in the role of Thomas was driven, passionate, silly, obsessive. He made it believable.
Performances of Venus in Fur continue until May 17 with variety of shows times both evening and matinee. Prices will range from $30 to $75 per person. More information on Venus in Fur or other Playhouse production are available at www.cincyplay.com

THE additional £100 million pledged by the Government to help local authorities mend the UK's potholed roads is 'welcome but it is not enough to cure Britain's pothole pandemic', according to IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists) director of policy and research Neil Greig.
He added: 'We need to ensure that roads are properly looked after so we don't store up bigger maintenance bills for future.'
Meanwhile, automotive insurer Warranty Direct is calling for the Government to establish a long-term road repair and maintenance plan for local and minor roads, following Chancellor George Osborne's to double the amount of money the Government is making available to help patch up the nation's crumbling highways.
Warranty Direct, which runs road maintenance campaign website Potholes.co.uk, says that the cash injection alone cannot solve the problem of Britain's dire roads.
Managing director Duncan McClure Fisher said: 'Motorists will appreciate this extra support as it will mean less cars get damaged. It's another signal that the Government, which is simply dealing with the financial disaster left by the previous administration, is recognising the need to support motorists, but the focus needs to be on local and minor roads.
'It's not a solution to the problem – piecemeal cash injections won't do the trick – but at least it's a step in the right direction.
'This needs to be the springboard from which the Government establishes a five or 10-year plan to revitalise Britain's 'Third World' local road network.'

Yow. Zah. I forgot about Victory Park. Now comes word that Charlie Green, the pizza dude behind Olivella's, is opening a ginormous new restaurant called Neo Pizza Napoletana by Olivella's in Victory Park. The charming PR person tells me the restaurant will be "nearly triple-the-size location and [have] new menu items." She goes on to say, "Charlie is banking on Neo Pizza helping breathe life into the district that's been working to revamp its former super-affluent image. (Neo Pizza's individual gourmet pizzas start at $7, salads start at $6 and sandwiches at $8.)" I wish they'd put in a fabulous bowling alley at Victory Park. How fun would that be?
Neo Pizza Napoletana by Olivella's to Open in Victory Park in Dallas
Read This Next
Pizza is the new hot food trend. It must be. All these pizza places popping up (Fireside, Olivella's, Neo, Eno's and Lombardi's soon- to-be-pizza place in the old Chips location) and last week I ate at Keith McNally's newish pizza place, Pulino's, in lower Manhattan. The place was PACKED. It starts there and migrates here.
Olivella's has been open in it's Highland Park location for sometime. It's small and cozy with awesome pizza. I am looking forward to a victory park location. Now I just have to get my wife to go downtown.
http://Www.ilcanerosso.com Jay jerrier
Congrats to Charlie! Olivella's is great and I know he has some cool stuff planned for the new spot!
iroguy… you mean University Park?
Can't wait for them to be close to Design District! Come on Charlie!
I went to Naga Thai on Saturday and walked across the street to check out the construction… This place is looking good- and lots of cool exterior signage. This appears to be the type of place Victory should have attracted to begin with. And on a side note, if you haven't been to Naga Thai go ASAP. It's awesome!!!
Nice to see Jay give praise to fellow pizza owners. I love Olivella's too but since Jay's Cane Rosso opened in Preston Hollow – I have no need to venture out of the hood for damn good pizza. Cane Rosso is by far my favorite..
Wm. B. Travis
"Banking" on it? Nothing in Victory is "banking" . . . not even the ATM!
Olivella's, Neo, whatever the name, if Charlie is baking his thin Napoletana pizza, with his imported sweet tomato sauces, it warrants going anywhere for it! Count me in…

Stick or Twist? The Interest Rate Dilemma Facing Central Banks
The Bank of England's nine policy makers sit down Wednesday at the bank's headquarters on London's Threadneedle Street to thrash out whether or not to leave the U.K.'s benchmark interest rate at a record low of 0.5% for another month.
Forty-five minutes after their decision is made public on Thursday the European Central Bank will tell the world what it plans to do about the benchmark rate in the euro zone. In short, the BOE is expected to keep its rate on hold for at least another month, while the ECB is expected to raise the key rate for the 17-nation currency bloc.
Plenty of pundits are already giving their views on whether these decisions, should they come to pass, are the right ones for the economies involved.
So here's a slightly different tack: The two central banks have a similar medium-term inflation target, of around 2%, so it's striking that the ECB is planning to hike increases when inflation in the euro zone is "only" creeping above target at 2.6% but the BOE is happy to keep rates on hold even though U.K. inflation has been more than double 2% for a while.
Readers of British tabloid newspapers assume that the BOE's job is to keep their mortgage payments at an affordable level so they probably won't be too dismayed.
The BOE, meanwhile, figures that inflation will come back to target next year when some of the temporary factors pushing up prices recede, like soaring commodity prices and an increase in VAT, a sales tax.
It is therefore eager not to risk strangling the U.K.'s stuttering recovery with higher borrowing costs. Not all its policy makers agree with this assessment, of course, and think the doves on the rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee are in denial about inflation.
The BOE also doesn't have to worry as much as its European counterparts about bumper pay deals, the thought of which keeps central bankers awake at night.
European workers often get inflation-linked pay rises; British workers don't, so there's less risk of wages and prices chasing each other higher in a second round of inflation in the U.K. than there is in Europe.
So, for these and many other reasons, ECB president Jean-Claude Trichet talks tough while BOE governor Mervyn King counsels caution, and both might ultimately be proved right. Or indeed completely wrong.

According to a Thursday story on NBC News, the leaders of ISIS, the terrorist army that established a caliphate in northern Iraq and parts of Syria, have ordered all women and girls under their control to submit to female genital mutilation. The order, issued in the form of a religious fatwa, could potentially affect 4 million females living under the thumb of ISIS. Female genital mutilation is practiced in Iraqi Kurdistan, despite recent laws passed prohibiting the procedure.
According to the World Health Organization, FGM is widely practiced in many parts of Africa and Middle East in traditional Muslim communities. 125 million women and girls have been subjected to the practice. The United Nations and much of the civilized world regards the procedure as a human rights violation that has no medical benefit and all too often causes harm.
Female genital mutilation, which involves the damaging and removal of parts of the female genitalia, is thought in some Muslim communities to inhibit the female libido. This is considered important in cultures where female chastity is connected with an honor culture that dominates and oppresses women. Ironically, FGM is not mentioned, not to mention sanctioned, by the Koran, though a later commentary claims that the Prophet Mohammed praised the practice. It predates the beginning of Islam.
Female genital mutilation is outlawed throughout the western world and even in many Islamic countries. The prospect of being subjected to it is considered grounds to being granted asylum in the United States. However FGM is occasionally practiced by immigrant populations in western countries, either by sending girls to Islamic countries to have the procedure done, or else bringing in "specialists" to subject a number of girls to it.
How this announcement will affect the ongoing war with ISIS is unclear. The terrorist army has already committed numerous atrocities, including the ethnic cleansing of Iraq Christians in territory under its control. Thus far the world community has done little but issue condemnations.

Addiction recovery isn't about abstinence. It's about a lifestyle change.
That's the mantra of Daniel Gray, co-founder of Lifestar Network, a treatment program for pornography and sexual addiction in the U.S. and part of Canada.
Gray, Donald Hilton and Mark Chamberlain discussed recovery at the Pornography Addiction and Families social work conference on Friday at Brigham Young University.
The experts shared information with participants — social work clinicians, students and faculty members — throughout the day in keynote speeches, breakout sessions and a concluding panel discussion.
The theme of recovery also addressed ways pornography and sexual addictions affect couples and families in general.
"It's destroying intimacy in marriage relationships," Hilton said. "It negatively affects how men view women, therefore creating a chasm between (them). It is impossible to hide emotional damage, the family sees it."
Because members of the family are able to sense when someone is being affected emotionally, like with sexual and pornographic addictions, they also are affected, according to Hilton.
"Pornography addiction creates a man who is more critical and selfish," he said. "This creates a much less loving environment for the family."
Hilton believes pornography and the much easier access to it in today's world, is helping to fuel the increased divorce rate, especially among younger couples.
Technically, though divorces have reportedly gone down in the last few years, so have marriage rates. About 40 to 50 percent of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce, reported the American Psychological Association this year.
"In today's world, with Internet access, what we are seeing, especially with youth, it is easier for them to be pulled into it," Gray said. "In the 70s it was on videos, but now — talk about virtual."
Protecting children is tougher and tougher.
"It has infiltrated into homes. The average age of exposure is now 9 years old and more women and girls are coming into it," Gray said. "It is really troubling. There is an increasing potential of addiction."
In his keynote speech, "Therapeutic Strategies in the Treatment of Pornography and Sexual Addictions," Gray discussed top treatment strategies and much of the process that leads to recovery with addictions.
He emphasized the need for addicts to openly admit to a problem and ask for help with treatment to recover. Much of the time, open environments need to be created by those close to the addict, so that transparent and honest communication can take place.
"The lifeblood of these addictions are secrecy and lies; creating an environment to discuss, and allow for openness can self-soothe," Gray said.
A person who is struggling with an addiction but keeps to himself about recovery and wants to do everything alone is 100 percent guaranteed to fail to recover successfully, Hilton said.
Family support, ecclesiastical leaders, therapists and 12-step help programs are necessary for full recovery, the experts said.
"These are the things most people do to gain freedom," Hilton said. "Don't try and do it alone. Don't waste the years."
However, one struggle that is paired with these addictions is that of determining whether it truly is an addiction, or more like a habit.
"Biologically speaking, I believe there is a quick hook with pornography," Hilton said during the panel. The experts all expressed opinion surrounding the idea that, though simply habits can set in with these behaviors, addiction follows quickly.

In case you were too busy with the recent Easter holiday or Spring Break activities, MSNBC hosted a lively discussion concerning Governor Susana Martinez following Mother Jones' in-depth article by Andy Kroll.
Mother Jones used Governor Martinez's own words to portray her as a foul-mouthed, vindictive, self-absorbed airhead who avoids interviews on difficult subjects. Most of these characterizations were due to leaks of confidential emails and audio conversations by parties unknown or even under federal indictment.
It was interesting watching MSNBC commentator Eugene Robinson resort to recordings of these four-year old private conversations by Susana Martinez. In leaked communications she lampoons teacher's high salaries relative to months worked, and she questioned the reason for the existence of the New Mexico Women's Commission, spiced with some colorful language.
But if this is all the negative information they could find on her then MSNBC risks sounding as hollow as Republican Daryl Issa and his fruitless investigation of a possible White House association with the so-called IRS scandal.
To be clear I'm not an ardent Martinez supporter, but I respect that she is performing reasonably well in her first term. According to U.S. News:
Conservatives credit her with trimming the state budget, lowering taxes, and implementing school-reform measures; liberals like that she expanded Medicaid and allowed a state-based health insurance exchange.
Additionally, the recent Santa Theresa inland port expansion in southern New Mexico could be a real game changer for the state. And New Mexico is in the running for a proposed 6,500-employee Tesla battery factory with Arizona, Nevada, and Texas.
Unfortunately any progress on Hispanic education has been negated by New Mexico's bottom place finish (yes that's 50th nationally) in overall child welfare which takes into account education. But the reason progressives may vote for her in the coming election could be because she just hasn't made any major mistakes (unlike New Jersey Governor Chris Christie). Nor has she fought too hard for her signature anti-immigrant proposal to revoke drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants which failed to pass the state legislature. And she has carefully avoided the national spotlight except during the 2012 national election to deliver a speech supporting Mitt Romney.
Avoiding difficult interviews and hard questions is said to be a key strategy by her top aide, Jay McCleskey. McCleskey has been characterized as a lavishly paid shadow governor even by Republicans in New Mexico.
But the real issue is this: if she's an up and coming GOP star (the phrase "future presidential candidate" was used), then what is next for her after the election? What if she came out in favor of real immigration reform? What if she took a firm stance against states that are passing legislation making it harder to vote? What if she publicly supported aspects of Obama Care, especially for people in poor states like New Mexico where it is needed the most?
Susana Martinez would come across as a pragmatic, sensible, bipartisan leader that appeals to everyone (except maybe the Tea Party and their neolithic supporters). But if Republicans encourage her to enter the national arena prematurely, they may indeed end up with another Sarah Palin.
Lest you think this is mere fantasy, consider this: Martinez met with Republican leaders on a Koch Brothers-sponsored gathering in early August 2014 in New Mexico.
Is the GOP planning a Chris Christie, Paul Rand, or Jeb Bush run with Martinez as a possible running mate in 2016? Earth to Republicans: No matter how badly you need women's and Hispanic votes in 2016, let Martinez season a bit before you think about anointing her as a vice-presidential candidate. You see, New Mexicans would actually like to see her succeed.

Are Sunless Tanners Safe? The Best Tanning Lotions and Gels
A dermatologist tackles the "Are sunless tanners safe?" question, and describes the best tanning lotions and gels. Self-tanning is not only safe and effective, it can keep you from burning your skin to a crisp in the sun!
Self-tanners can help prevent skin cancer (by reducing your time spent in the sun), keep your skin wrinkle-free, and reduce age spots and other discolorations that the sun can contribute to. These tips for the best tanning lotions and gels will keep your skin soft and young looking.
"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit," said Ada Louise Huxtable. "A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world."
To keep your skin healthy, you may want to keep your clothes on hot summer days — but I love Huxtable's advice about shedding your tensions! One way to reduce stress is to stop worrying about skin cancer or age spots — perhaps by using a sunless tanner like the Millenium Tanning New Paint It Black Tanning Lotion.
And, here's a basic summary of tanning without burning in the sun, plus info about tanorexia (an addiction to tanning beds).
Sunless tanners are more popular than ever because they're fast, easy, and reduce wrinkles and aging skin. Plus, they keep you out of the sun, which could contribute to a lower risk of skin cancer. There are more and more self-tanning, streak-proof products on the market – such as the airbrush tanning kit (similar to SheerTan's above).
Tanning lotions and gels work by combining an active ingredient called dihydroxyacetone (DHA) with the amino acids on your skin. This interaction causes your skin to get that tan color – so when you buy a self-tanner, make sure it says "DHA" on the label.
Are self-tanners safe?
Here's the good news from Ariel Ostad, MD, a dermatologist in private practice in New York City and a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the New York University Medical Center: "There are a lot of equally good products and they are all extremely safe. You can put them on and go into the sun, but you will probably still need sunscreen for protection."
What's the best sunless tanner on the market?
That's the "burning" question! "A self-tan that may be great on one person makes someone else look orange," says Bruce E. Katz, MD, the medical director of the JUVA Skin and Laser Center in New York City. "Do a small area first before you commit and try not to experiment before a major social event."
To find the best sunless tanner, you have to keep experimenting with lotions or gels until you find the right one for your skin type. The best one for your skin type may not be the most popular self-tanner on the market. Katz says, "It's trial and error and really a question of finding the right one for your skin."
Dr Katz is a fan of the sunless airbrush tan, which involves spraying the DHA solution on your skin with a spray gun. "It is actually very reliable and you get good results. Not much in the way of streaking," he says. "You can do it in a spa or purchase an at-home kit."
Sunless tanners: gels or lotions? "Gels are drying," says Dr Ostad. "I'd choose lotions or sprays because they go on easier." When you're looking for a good self-tanner, avoid the gels. To keep your skin healthy and young-looking, read How to Improve Your Skin Naturally – The Best Foods for Healthy Skin.
"Tanorexia" is an unhealthy dependence on tanning beds, with withdrawal symptoms similar to alcohol and drug addictions. Researcher Carolyn Heckman, Ph.D., of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Pennsylvania, says that tanning dependence is known as tanorexia because of its similarities to both substance addictions and body image disorders, such as anorexia. "There is some evidence that UV tanning dependence may have biological underpinnings like other addictions, such as the production of endorphins as in the 'runner's high,'" she says.

Cool quote from Dr. Katz on airbrush tanning! I like the feel of the warm sun on me, but know that it's not good in excess. Right about this time of year here in the "San Diego winter" I start to freak out about being pale.
Gotta love the bronze buns without the tanning bed time. I like the no tan lines and ability to choose my shade with self-tanners and airbrush tans.
And DHA Is good for you!
Thanks for the info and feedback,
Self tanning lotions are great and I used to use them way before Airbrush Tanning existed. My favorite self tanning cream was the one from Bare Mineral. But for several years I use now Airbrush Tanning because it goes on so flawless. No streak, no orange tint because the solution is being customized based on your skin tone so everyone always looks perfect. The best way to tan now for me is Airbrush Tanning 🙂
Great post. I think self tanners are definitely going to be more and more popular in the coming years. Being orange and gross is hopefully going to be "out" soon, and having a bit of safe color will hopefully replace it.
Alison, thanks for your tips on sunless tanning lotions. I look forward to reading your article about streak-free suntans 🙂
Self tanner is not too difficult to apply. First thing you need is a quality product with color guide (so you see where you apply the thing), a tanning mitt (for even application and keeping the palms of your hands from going orange) and some patience. Always exfoliate before and moisturize the day after.
I've never actually tried a self tanner, I'm always worried about looking orange. But from what I'm reading, it sounds like they have come along way since the first ones, maybe I'll give them a go this winter.
Very informative post on sunless tanning. Thanks for sharing.

Police: Michigan escaped prisoner captured
A convicted killer who peeled a hole in two fences with his hands to escape from a Michigan prison before abducting a woman and fleeing to Indiana was captured Monday evening, authorities said.
IONIA, Mich. (AP) — A convicted killer who peeled a hole in two fences with his hands to escape from a Michigan prison before abducting a woman and fleeing to Indiana was captured Monday evening, authorities said.
Shortly after 6 p.m. Monday, a LaPorte County Sheriff's Department deputy attempted to stop a vehicle that had been reported stolen, a release from the Indiana State Police said. The vehicle sped away from the officer, and after a short pursuit it was stopped and officers took Michael David Elliot into custody.
This happened only half an hour after the LaGrange County Sheriff's Department suspended a search for the suspect near Shipshewana, during which people were advised to stay in their homes and only open their doors to police officers.
Officials were stunned by Elliot's brazen escape Sunday night, as he had a record of good behavior during his 20 years in custody. He wore a white civilian kitchen uniform to evade security and blend in with snow at the Ionia Correctional Facility in western Michigan, prisons spokesman Russ Marlan said.
Fences at the Ionia prison were equipped with motion sensors to alert guards. The fences also carry electric current to shock anyone that touches them.
"It appears that did not happen. ... He was not zapped with electricity, and he was not picked up by the motion sensors," Marlan said.
Once outside the prison, Elliot, 40, abducted a woman and stole her Jeep. The woman, who was not hurt, escaped late Sunday when he stopped for gas in Middlebury, Ind., some 100 miles to the south. The woman's red Jeep was found abandoned nearby in Shipshewana on Monday.
At least one school was locked down, residents were warned to stay inside and officers went door-to-door in the area.
An alert was issued to law enforcement nationwide. The woman told police that Elliot was armed with a box cutter and a hammer and had said he wanted to get as far from the Michigan prison as possible.
"We had dog teams. We had a helicopter from the state police," said Michigan Corrections Department Director Dan Heyns. "The response was good, but he'd left the area by the time we were mobilized totally 100 percent. It didn't take him long to get down to Indiana. ... His flight path now has expanded dramatically."
Nothing in Elliot's record suggested he might escape, said Heyns, who added, "This is entirely a one-man operation."
The woman who was abducted was able to call 911 from a concealed cellphone while Elliott was pumping gas at the store near Middlebury in Elkhart County, Ind., authorities said. She ran to a restroom and locked herself inside. Elliot knocked on the door, but she stayed inside until police arrived.
Elliot was discovered missing from the prison about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, probably 2 ½ hours after he escaped by using his hands to create a hole in two fences, Marlan said.
"There was a perimeter vehicle with an armed officer who was circling the facility during this time period. (Elliot) was able to evade or avoid detection," Marlan said.
He said it wasn't immediately known if electronic security measures at the fence were not working or if Elliot somehow avoided them.
Elliot was serving life in prison without parole for fatally shooting four people and burning down their Gladwin County house in 1993 when he was 20 years old, according to court records. Elliot and his accomplices were trying to steal money from a drug dealer, police said.
He was arrested a few days later and had a gun that tied him to the slayings. One of Elliot's co-defendants testified against him, saying he laughed about shooting the victims in the head.
Elliot was convicted of first-degree murder in 1994.

Scrimmage Stats (PDF)
TUCSON, Ariz. - The Arizona football team treated approximately 7,000 fans to one final public appearance in fall camp for the annual Meet the Team Night at Arizona Stadium on Saturday evening. The next time the team and fans step into the stadium will be two weeks from tonight, when the Wildcats take on Northern Arizona for the season-opener.
The Head Coach's Reaction
The Arizona offense accumulated over 400 yards of offense, thanks to a balanced passing attack highlighted by a 39-yard touchdown play from quarterback Nick Foles to receiver Juron Criner. Freshman running back Ka'Deem Carey added spark to the run game, totaling 69 yards on eight totes.
Meanwhile, senior Trevin Wade snared a pair of interceptions from Foles, part of a four-turnover effort caused by the Wildcat defense. Linebackers David Lopez and Tyler Ermisch intercepted Tom Savage and Daxx Garman passes, respectively.
Head Coach Mike Stoopswas pleased with his team's effort as it concluded a largely successful preseason training camp.
"Good job tonight, men," Stoops told his team after the 80-play scrimmage. "We got to play a lot of players this evening. Nothing we do in practice can simulate this type of game speed and tempo. I saw a lot of good things out there."
While the offense racked up over 400 yards of offense, the defense recorded 11 stops. The defense, which registered stops on the first three drives of the night, also limited the offense to just a 2-for-13 effort on third down conversions.
The first points for the offense came on the fourth possession when Jaime Salazar converted a 37-yard field goal. Taimi Tutogi ignited the drive with a 10-yard carry to move the ball across midfield, while Gino Crump's 12-yard reception from Matt Scott put the unit with field goal range.
Three possessions later, the offense found the endzone. David Douglas hauled in 19 and 11-yard receptions from Foles, before Criner made a leaping catch over a defender on a fade pass for the 39-yard scoring strike.
The defense held firm over the next four posses, including an interception by Lopez. But Carey and Tutogi teamed up for an impressive scoring drive set up by the ground game for the final score of the contest.
After a long run was called back due to penalty on the first play of a drive, Carey turned the corner for 39 yards off the right side to move the chains. Tutogi took the next three carries - and some defenders with him - for 16 yards, which eventually set up a 37-yard field goal converted by Alex Zendejas.
The defense made the last stand as it turned away the offense on the final two possessions. The capper was a game-ending interception of a Garman pass by Ermisch.
"We're getting closer," Stoops told his team. "To think where we were at the beginning of this month to now is like night and day. There's still some stuff to clean up and we've got things to improve on, but this is a good sign."
"We ran the ball better tonight and we need to keep getting better at running the ball," Stoops added. "We now we can throw the football, but we need to keep getting more physical up front - on both sides of the ball."
The Wildcats will begin the 2011-2012 academic year on Monday for the start of classes. The team will be off from practice until Tuesday afternoon, when it begins its regular season practice and shifts its focus to the season opener against the Lumberjacks.
The opener is scheduled for a 7 p.m. kickoff at Arizona Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 3. Season tickets, flex packs and single game tickets are available through the McKale Ticket Office (520-621-2287) or online at www.arizonawildcats.com.

As promised, I am posting the recipe to my hopefully-famous-one-day "bruffins."
What's a bruffin?
Well, it's a cross between a brownie and a muffin. My husband came up with this clever name, and while it doesn't sound very appetizing, the name has stuck around the Heddleston household.
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup Splenda Sugar Blend (white)
- 1/2 cup Splenda Sugar Blend (brown)
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 1 3/4 cup gluten free all purpose flour
- 2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 peanut butter chips
Preheat the oven at 350 degrees. Mix all the ingredients together. The batter will be thick like a brownie. Scoop batter into the muffin tins, about 3/4 full for each. Bake for 20 minutes. Makes two dozen.
I'm sure this recipe would work fine with regular white and brown sugar–I just try to decrease the calories when I can. I assume that this recipe would work fine if all Splenda instead of the Splenda blends (to further decrease the calories). Additionally, to decrease the calories even more, you may try to replace the 4 eggs with 1 cup of egg whites (such as Egg Beaters or a generic brand). I've done this with another recipe, but not this one yet.
Please post a comment if you bake this recipe! I'd love to know what you think!

Here's five reasons why there shouldn't be. Nor will there be any mass rioting for the acquittal of George Zimmerman.
1. There will absolutely NOTHING gained from it. : George Zimmerman will not magically float into prison just because of some rioters in big cities. Trayvon will not come back to life. The justice system will not make major changes in any way. Nothing positive will of causing acts of violence.
2. Black people today are too aware of other things that are ruining our lives that have nothing to do with Trayvon or Zimmerman. : Many of us have the internet that can filter lies and propaganda from the truth. Many of us are unemployed. Many of us can't get hired. Many of us have to close our businesses. Many of us live in areas where a human just died a few days ago over a bad drug deal. Many of us are dealing with high loan bills. Many of us are not able to move forward and upward in our lives. This was true before the Trayvon Zimmerman fight. This is true now. This will be true in the future. Too many of us are aware of this and know better.
3. Rioting will be used to further negative black stereotypes. : When "A SMALL GROUP" of black people do something horrible or abhorrent. It never fails that a portion of society sees ALL black people the same and over generalizes the entire population. If riots pop off. Mainstream media will portray the black rioters are dangerous, thugs, destructive etc. And as usual certain people will lap it up and stick to that imagery for years to come. This undoubtedly will have an effect on how these people interact with blacks in our society. :-(
4. Rioters most likely will destroy their own neighborhoods. : A. They don't have the funds nor ability to travel to white rural areas to protest. They most likely will stay where they're familiar.
B. The rioters will most likely damage businesses that have no connection to the trial at all.
C. The areas where people on twitter claim they will riot are high pro 2nd amendment areas. For obvious reasons rioting in those areas would not be smart. :-(
D. Many of the rioters might not even really care about "justice for trayvon". They just need an excuse to do something horrible. And this is too convenient for them.
5. Property damage and racial tension. : Riots always cause groups of people to have unnecessary, unwarranted animosity towards each other and cost BILLIONS of dollars in damage.
Yaay let's riot!!! Let's gain nothing from this action, ignore all the immediate problems in our own private lives, further perpetuate some of our own negative stereotypes, destroy our own cities, cause BILLION dollar damage and give white and blacks even more legitimate excuses to dislike each other in the year 2013!!!
Again Rioting is silly and will do thousands of times more harm than good. Save the riots and protesting and maybe focus that energy on rebuilding communities, nurturing local economies and gaining knowledge of self. Just a thought.

Just started carrying here in WI and I carry a G19. I also own a G22 and plan on getting some more. They are great guns.

Just started carrying here in WI and I carry a G19. I also own a G22 and plan on getting some more. They are great guns.
We (the Pink Lady "wife", and I) have 1- Glock 21 (.45acp), 1- Glock 26 (9mm), and 2- Glock 19s (one of them is an EXO coated with Ameriglo I-Dot Pro night sights "my favorite I might add). That is 4 of them, and wouldn't mind having a 2nd Glock 26 and something in .357Sig.

The 26 is a superb CCW handgun, one of the best carry options available on the market today. I keep a 26 in my Maxpedition Versipack "daily go bag" in a Crossbreed Ohai modular holster so regardless of what else I have "on me" I always have the 26 in the bag.
When I leave the home port:
S&W 642 Airweight, Ruger SP 101, Colt Detective Spec., CZ RAMI, Kahr PM9, Kahr CW40, S&W Model 10-7, Glock 30, 19, and 26, Browning Hi Power, CZ82, Colt Commander, Dan Wesson PM7, Ruger LCP
Why does the G33 hardly get any mention? I either carry that or my G22. The G33 in 357 SIG is way fun to shoot and same size as the G26.

I carry a G26 with +2 factory mags. Get's me 12+1 rounds in the pistol.
G32 with an extra barrel in .40SW. Gives you choice of two chamberings with more power than a 9mm. A 9mm +P is more than adequate though. I got bored shooting a 9mm (had HiPower, Sig226, G17, G19). Just think the G32 has a nice balance of everything for CCW.
I own a G19 (gen.3), but wish I had purchased a G26.
The reason... I have large hands!
My fingers ride the G19's grip 'humps'...not comfortable or user-friendly for me.
Later on I was able to get my hands on a 26. It fit me much better. (I don't mind a 2 finger grip.)
Both the 19 and 26 are excellent. Choose the one that fits you best.

I'm not a huge fan of the subcompacts. I do like the compact guns, which are made for utility. Face it, it's a GLOCK. It ain't gonna win any beauty contests, but it looks fine from the back, and hoorific from the front. Honestly, I'd look at the G19.
Most people put mag extensions on a G26 to have a place to put their pinky. Well, after you do that you have a G19 sized gun (The grip is what makes it harder or easier to hide). You might as well skip the middle man and just buy the 19.

To Aileen, Annie, and the rest of the Longden family...You are all in my thoughts today. Love, Jan

It has been a long time since I posted, sorry but the grief of Deric's death hit me harder than I expected. It hurt so much. I had contact to him a couple of times, but as you all have experienced by reading his books, he and his family had become a part of our family and his death was like loosing a dearly beloved. Today on the anniversary of his death, I am finally able to get back to the forum. Have missed you all. On Friday I found a small book in a charity shop, I immediately got a lump in my throat as I thought of Deric. The title: 50 Ways to kill a Slug. If Deric was still with us I would have mailed it to him, I'm sure it would have amused him. Instead, I will keep it and think of Deric everytime I pick it up. I think I am now ready to reread Deric's books. I send my greatings to everyone, old friends and new, and look forward to our regular comments.

Conny, you can purchase them as Kindle Editions at Amazon. Just enter Deric Longden and Radio Times - there they are.
posts on 6/21/2014 11:50:02 PM
Thank you, Annie, for keeping us connected - I am with you in spirit and keep thinking of Deric a lot. As many others, I am also re-reading his books and do miss him, too. Love to all of you and especially Aileen. Blessings from Germany, Conny. PS: These lost manuscripts - how are they available? I did not quite get that...sorry!
posts on 6/11/2014 7:26:31 AM
Hi All - it has been a long time, i hope everybody is well. In lieu of the coming date I have just started to re-read The cat that came in from the cold. I miss being able to think as I always did when reading his books that he was out there somewhere making people smile :o) Best wishes to Aileen, Annie and family x

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. The family thank you all again for your kindness one year on since Deric's passing. There will be a family gathering at Aileen's house at the weekend to mark the occasion an I have collected some apt readings about birds (which you know he loved) and loss but happy bits too! The latest "lost" manuscripts are to be published as Radio Times Take 3 on the same day, 21st July.

Hi Diana. I too have been aware of the date soon approaching. I miss knowing Deric was reading our posts and laughing along with us. He always had a way of surprising all of us with a silly story that always made my day. I miss all of the regulars as well. Take care, and try to think of happy thoughts of Deric. Love, Jan
posts on 6/10/2014 2:56:59 PM
Hello everyone. Just had to post as you're probably feeling rather sad at the moment. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Aileen and all the family as the anniversary approaches. Still love Deric's books and humor. Specially thinking of you - love Diana, Southampton xx
posts on 5/7/2014 10:53:57 AM
Hi all - time to write something here again... Thanks, Annie, for the info about the books now being available as e-books. Remember I didn't have a Kindle when "Tailpieces" came out and shared the "You can download the Kindle-App for free"-news? I have purchased a "real Kindle" in the meantime for which (after reading Annie's message) I just bought those two books. I ran out of stuff to read this morning, so this was really perfect timing. Hope everything's going well for everyone around here?! Many greetings from Germany, Andrea

Hi Gill and All. Just checking in. I always look to see if there are any messages, at least once a week. I miss the comradery and connecting with all my friends who loved Deric and his books the way I do. I still recommend them whenever I get the chance. Best of luck on your move Gill. Hope it's not too far from work. Hugs and kisses to Annie, Aileen, and all my friends who post here. xxoo Jan

The Christian clearly understands that Jesus does not reveal all that is signified by the word "God," but only as much as could be revealed through a perfect human personality living in absolute obedience to God's will. The knowledge of God that men have by virtue of Jesus' revelation is quite enough for men to live by in this life, and to live gloriously and thankfully by, Christians maintain - the knowledge that God the Creator, the Almighty and Eternal, the Lord of history, is man's Heavenly Father, and that love might well be, and indeed is, the ultimate meaning of human existence.

Boss backs Adams move
by Stuart Vose
MON gives defender's Coventry switch seal of approval.
Martin O'Neill has backed Blair Adams to make the most of his move to Coventry.
The 21-year-old left-back joined the Sky Blues permanently last week following a successful loan spell.
Just at the moment I couldn't find a place for Blair in the team; he's gone out and I think it's the right thing
- Martin O'Neill
Adams was a regular at reserve-team level for Sunderland but didn't make a competitive first-team appearance, although he did feature for the Black Cats during pre-season.
"Blair has his whole future ahead of him," said O'Neill, speaking before the weekend win at Wigan.
"It's been hard for him to break into the team here but he's playing with very good confidence now."
Adams made a winning start to his permanent stay in the Midlands over the weekend as he helped City to a 2-1 victory over Oldham Athletic.
Mark Robins' side are now outside the Npower League One play-offs only on goal difference and have reached the area final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
And O'Neill is confident Adams will enjoy a successful tenure at the Ricoh Arena.
"There's no reason whatsoever that he won't do very well indeed," he added.
"Just at the moment I couldn't find a place for Blair in the team; he's gone out and I think it's the right thing."

Match highlights from Saturday's semi-finals at the WTA Moscow tournament.
MOSCOW, Russia - Victoria Azarenka and Maria Kirilenko set up an intriguing championship clash at the Kremlin Cup on Saturday, both cruising through their semifinal matches in straight sets at the $1,000,000 tournament.
Watch live tennis from Moscow this week on TennisTV.com!
Azarenka, the No.2 seed, was the first to advance, beating No.8 seed María José Martínez Sánchez, 63 63, her first win in their three career meetings. Azarenka was particularly strong on serve, losing just eight points in nine service games during the match - and holding at love four times.
"I'm pleased I could finally get some revenge against her," Azarenka said. "I was playing well today and not letting her play her game. I did some things on the court I was really proud of today too, especially the drop shots I pulled off!"
Azarenka beat Andrea Petkovic in her first match, a victory that put her in the field for the WTA Championships - Doha 2010 next week. That match went to three sets; she hasn't lost one since. "I was under pressure to qualify in that first match, but I've been so relaxed since then and have really enjoyed myself.
"This goes two ways. Some players don't need to play the week before a big tournament. For me, it's perfect to go there with matches under my belt."
Kirilenko, the No.6 seed, crushed Vera Dushevina in an all-Russian second semifinal, 61 61. She has now lost nine games in four matches this week.
"I'm very focused at this tournament and have a big desire to win here," Kirilenko said. "A lot of people came and supported me today, which gave me so much energy. When I go on court I want to show my best tennis. It's a lot of fun."
By virtue of reaching the final, Kirilenko is projected to return to the Top 20, an elite she has had nine career weeks in - next week would be her 10th. "I've been working hard with my dad for such a long time. It never pays off immediately, but this year I've played really well and I feel it's coming together at this event."
Azarenka will play her 11th career final (4-6 in her first 10) while Kirilenko will be in her ninth final (3-5). Kirilenko leads her head-to-head with Azarenka, 2-1, although Azarenka did win their most recent meeting.

A survey from IllicitEncounters.com dating site reveals that BMW owners are twice as likely to cheat more frequently on their partners than any other car brands drivers. Of the 640,000 members of the "adulterous" site more than 19% has revealed to drive a BMW, followed by Audi (8.79%), Mercedes (8.23%), Jaguar (6.59%) and Land Rover (4.94%). The least favourite brands of cheaters are Renault and SEAT (0.28%), MG (0.53%), Fiat and Chrysler (0.55%). The authors of the study also indicate that BMW is the preferred brand by adulteresses (11.2%).
"There is an intrinsic link between success and cheating - says Rosie Freeman-Jones, spokesman for the dating site - successful people are often risk-takers, and have got to where they are by setting their standards high. However, these people are also less likely to settle for unsatisfying relationships or monotony."

Blair Walsh is a god. Wish we had him for 4 years. Didn't miss a single 50+ all year and broke the record for 50+ in a season in his rookie year. What a weapon to have.
would have been nice to see RG3 beat Luck out, but I guess he couldn't beat him in everything (ie: Heisman)
Guess we will see when Rookie of the Year honors are announced.
Would like to see what KO would have done here last year if he was actually healthy.
The Vikings spotted a flaw in Walsh's technique that they believed was correctable before drafting him. He made the adjustment and has been almost flawless since.
I have waatched KO play several times this year and the improvement is amazing. He is extremely quick with his feet and man-handlers the rush ends that try to go around him on his outside....he just pushes them to the ground with his height advantage. He was never that quick at ISU even excluding his Senior campaign when he was "nicked". Give Chizek credit for bringing him North out of Texas.
I watched KO every game this year on Sunday Ticket and it was obvious that guy was really 5 star talent as far as the college game goes.
Not left tackle 5 star but easily as a right tackle or guard.

Baseball Rallies For 9-5 Extra-Inning Win Over Butler In Eight Innings
April 30, 2005
Indianapolis, Ind. - With the score tied at four in the top of the eighth inning, the University of Illinois at Chicago baseball squad tallied five runs off of Butler reliever Patrick Feeney, highlighted by a two-run double from junior designated hitter Ted Rosinski, as the visiting Flames picked up the 9-5 Horizon League extra-inning victory over the Bulldogs in Game One of their doubleheader at Bulldog Park on Saturday afternoon.
UIC junior catcher Bryan Nolte paced the Flames' offensive attack, going 4-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored, while freshman first baseman Mark Hallberg collected three hits on the afternoon, including two runs and a RBI.
With the victory, UIC improves to 23-16-1 on the campaign and 5-5 in Horizon League play, while the host Bulldogs fall to 13-25 overall and 1-5 in conference action.
UIC reliever Jason Foster (6-6) picked up the victory for the Flames, allowing one run and three hits in 1.1 innings out of the bullpen. Feeney (0-3) was tagged with the loss, surrendering five runs and four hits in 1.1 innings of work.
The fireworks began in the eighth inning, when Feeney plunked senior right fielder Shane Crowder with a pitch to open the frame. Crowder moved over to second base on a bunt single from senior second baseman Mike Bruszer and scored on a RBI single from Hallberg, giving the Flames the 5-4 lead.
Bruszer moved to third on the play and scored on a sacrifice fly from sophomore center fielder Larry Gempp Jr., extending the Flames' advantage to 6-4. Hallberg moved over to second base on the play.
Feeney plunked junior leftfielder Bart Babineaux (1-for-4, 2 runs, RBI) for his second hit-batsman of the inning, bringing Rosinski to the plate. Rosinski drove in the duo with a two-run double to right-center field pushing the Flames' ahead, 8-4. Nolte added an insurance run with a RBI single to center, scoring Rosinski and giving UIC the 9-4 lead.
Butler held a 4-3 lead over the Flames in the seventh inning, and looked to have won the game as junior designated hitter Ben Trotter rolled a two-out grounder to Bulldogs' shortstop Stephen Gill. Gill, however, threw the ball away, allowing Gempp to score from second base, tying the game up at four.
Butler senior outfielder Dale Mueller led the Bulldogs' offensively, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored, while first baseman Matt Martino (RBI, run), second baseman Joe Pauley (2 RBI) and Robby Santoni (RBI) each collected two hits for the Bulldogs.

#MWC09: Sony Ericsson Idou, W995 Walkman, Play Now Movies and other services
Sony Ericsson Idou touchscreen phone
Sony Ericsson made a splash again yesterday at their MWC 09 press event.
Last year it was Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Windows Mobile smartphone, today they've introduced 3.5″ full touchscreen 12.1 mpx Symbian smartphone – Sony Ericsson Idou.
SE Idou is not yet quite ready for the primetime and will be officially launched sometime in the second half this year. But what Sony Ericsson let us glimpse, looks mighty impressive.
Good design, impressive specs, interesting user interface and open Symbian OS for all additional software apps and games.
Of course the devil is in the details and it is hard to say what the final product will feel like.
The questions that remain to be answered are – responsiveness of the touchscreen, the smoothness and speed of the user interface, integration with various Sony Ericsson services and, of course, third party applications for Idou in SE's own software store.
Here's the video I made during Sony Ericsson's Idou presentation (sorry for the shaky hands:) ) :
And also some live shots of the SE Idou from yesterdays presentation:
Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman phone
Another new announcement yesterday was Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman phone.
And it looks like a beginning of a new promising trend at SE – putting all the coolest functions/specs on a single device. I no longer have to decide what kind of the phone I'd want to buy. A music phone with subpar camera quality, or a camera phone with the music functionality as an afterthought.
SE W995 has it all. It's your standard Walkman phone with enhanced music functionality and it's a powerful 8.1 megapixel cameraphone that can rival any Cybershot phone out there. Well, Sony Ericsson says that W995 is also a "video driven" device, and it can certainly play videos. But the 2.6″ screen on W995 Walkman is just to small for my taste.
I guess I'll have to wait until Idou comes along for a full blown music/camera/media player smartphone from Sony Ericsson.
Here's a video of Sony Ericsson W995 introduction:
New Sony Ericsson services and software
And the last thing worth mentioning is SE software and services improvements. These include:
- MediaGo software to seamlessly transfer media files between your SE phone, PC and other Sony devices. We'll be checking out later of how exactly this software works. What I can tell you from the presentation is that there will be various options to get your file to and from the phone – Wi-Fi/DLNA, Bluetooth and wired connection. And it should be very easy.
- Expansion of the Play Now Arena to more countries. Including music subscription and download service
- New PlayNow Movies service. It will be subscription based and will offer unlimited movie downloads to SE phones via PC. Though they did not mention whether this will include only Sony movie catalog, or other studios too.
Sony Ericsson also promised a lot more announcements in software and services part of their business.
I'm pretty sure about one of them – with full touchscreen Symbian device just around the corner, SE owned app store is almost assured.
As for the rest – we'll have to wait a bit.

Spanish Halloween (25 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I can honestly say that despite being a Brit living on a remote Spanish island off the west coast of Africa, I LOVE Halloween. I ADORE Halloween. I'm not an events organizer. I own a Deli called LA COCOTTE www.comidaslacocotte.com in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria where we sell homemade style food and party food to go. However this year I discovered your wonderful website and was inspired to design and make a Smurf party for a client. It was a total success and encouraged me to finally create my own Halloween party. I've spent my whole life wanting to throw a Halloween party, lying in bed at night dreaming up recipes and games. But I was missing a key ingredient: a kid. Imagine my delight when in 2007 I was told by my doctor that I was pregnant and that the due date was October 28!!!! Two dreams came true all at once: a beautiful baby and a brilliant excuse for a Halloween Party!!!!
This year that baby turned 5 and he's inherited his mother's fascination for all things Halloween. Together with the chefs at my Deli we designed and handmade our very own Spanish Halloween Party.
I hope you like it as much as we all did.
