Got a lot done today, from 4pm onwards. Not sure why that is but it seems like when I'm in pre-pro (which this whole 2 weeks basically is), I freak out basically for the first half of the day, and then I'm smooth sailing in the late afternoon. I set a pretty hard deadline for me to leave at 8 tho so that doesn't actually leave too much time to do stuff!!!
Anyway, actually got a lot done today, despite the continual freak out. I think part of the reason why I was frekaing out was because traversal wasn't truly in until today, Ben Peck rules. He seriously does. Platforming stuff is hard to implement but i dont't know what kind of magic he pulls but now the girl can actually climb from the outside, onto the Ivy, through the hole, and gets dropped inside, NO FAKERY!
Trying out a bluer climate for the outside, which is more in line with what Andy has in mind. A good thing about doing a daily post is, I actually have completely forgotten what the tower looked like yesterday, I just remember it looking too muddy and I didnt' like it, but now looking at yesterday's screenshot, it actually isn't that bad. Just a different vibe. Will have to consult Andy to see which one he actually prefers.
Also decided to finish up the broken up stonework for a hole outside. Pretty happy with it for like, an hour's work or something. Good enough to move on to other stuff and if I have time I'll come back to them.
Now that traversal is in, I can put a few fake blocks there and she can actually climb onto them. Very exciting. Andy is doing some block work to figure out the actual pathing tho, we'll try to actually implement it tomorrow with some proper camera volumes. For now, I mocked in a closer feel of what the tower might be… A very optimistic look right now, maybe nearer the top? Andy might want it to start a bit more somber, but alas, these are good bookmarks. Oh, and started doing real geometry for the inside of the tower… now that Derek gave me a sketch.

It has been rumored and then squashed and rumored again, but now it appears as if Hulk Hogan's return to WWE is officially going to happen. TMZ reported on Feb. 21, 2014, that Hulk Hogan will officially return to the company this next week on WWE "Monday Night Raw."
Many thought that Hogan's return would be in conjunction with the launch of the brand new WWE Network, and that happens on Feb. 24, 2014.
SEE: Nelson Frazier, Jr.: Former WWE superstar Mabel, Viscera, Big Daddy V dies
It is well known that Hogan has been in Florida and training at the WWE Performance Center, but there was no word on when he would show up on TV again. Monday seems like the day, and that means he will be with the company a full month before WWE "WrestleMania XXX" in New Orleans.
Hogan was last with WWE back in 2007, and there's no word on what his role in the company will be. He could wrestle or he could be a general manager of sorts or he could just be a spokesman.
Some rumors have been that Hogan will actually be the official host of "WrestleMania XXX," but that isn't known yet either. All that is known is that fans can expect to see the red and yellow of Hulkamania this upcoming Monday.

She's young and wants to party. It's her birthday. I'm sure y'all have a great idea for here. She whispers:
Wanted to ask your advice on something. I enter the mid-20s in a couple of weeks and would like to celebrate my day of birth with several (maybe 15) friends in Dallas. See, I live in Arlington and don't know Dallas very well. I'm looking at Knox-Henderson, Uptown, downtown — don't really care where I go as long as it's nice! And not too expensive: like mid-price range (15 bucks or a little more for an entrée and drinks that are no more than 10 bucks).

Stargirl Chapter 29 Summary
- Susan wins. Of course.
- She gets her silver plate, as she envisioned, and she carries it everywhere with her.
- TV reporters interview her, strangers mob her. Our girl is thrilled and proud and is having a grand ol' time.
- That night, Leo and Susan are even allowed into the nightclub at the hotel to dance and eat jalapeno poppers (yum). They watch her interview on the TV over the bar. She's a star.
- The next morning, she is on the front page of the newspaper. They praise her speech as being "mesmerizing, hypnotic, mysteriously touching" (29.6).
- Even at breakfast the next morning, everyone congratulates her.
- They start their journey back to Mica, and Susan busily plans what they will do when they get to school and everyone is there to meet them.
- But when they arrive, absolutely no one is waiting for them out front. So they drive around back to find only three people: two teachers and Dori, who has made a congratulatory sign.
- No confetti. No kazoos.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The Florida Supreme Court ordered the changes Thursday to comply with recent revisions in the law. Those changes make it more difficult to obtain waivers.
One revision increases the time judges have to make rulings from 48 hours to three business days.
Another one repeals a provision that automatically grants a waiver if the deadline is missed.
Instead, the minor can ask the circuit's chief judge to hold another hearing within 48 hours. That decision must come no later than 24 hours after the hearing.
The new law also requires judges to consider a minor's maturity to make a decision on abortion.

Early today Wednesday, April 09, at around 7:15 a.m. with a knife in each hand, a male 16-year-old sophomore went on a stabbing spree in Franklin Regional High School, in Murrysville, Pennsylvania. The unidentified sophomore suspect injured 19 students and a school security guard. Seven of those students were immediately rushed to the Forbes Regional Hospital in nearby Monroeville, PA, where three of them were quickly admitted into surgery due to life threatening injuries. Although the injuries are serious, Forbes Regional Hospital doctors say the victims are expected to survive.
Dr. Chris Kaufman of Forbes Regional Hospital said the teens injuries are "quite serious and some clearly life-threatening."
Adding to the seriousness of the students' injuries, Forbes Regional Chief Medical Officer Mark Rubino also said, "I do want to stress the critical nature of their injuries, they are deep penetrating injuries."
Shortly after the violence broke out the school's fire alarm was pulled sending students and staff running in panic, some students interviewed by local news described seeing blood on the ground as they ran through the hallways towards the school's exit. Thomas Seefeld, Murrysville police Chief expressed the importance of the alarm being pulled, crediting student Nate Scimio saying, "The fire alarm being pulled probably assisted with the evacuation of the school and that was a good thing that that was done."
A possible heroine, reports of a female student applying pressure to the wounds of a wounded male victim, may have "possibly saved his life," said Rubino. The male teen aided by the female student was one of the three rushed into surgery. Rubino also stressed he believes the teen suspect seemed to follow a pattern during his stabbing spree, saying the stabbings "were aimed for the lower abdomen causing severe damage" to vital internal organs.
[ Related: Police chief: 'Panic and chaos' in mass stabbing at Pennsylvania school ]
According to authorities, the teen suspect, who was treated for a minor hand wound and is currently in custody being interrogated, was finally subdued by the injured security guard with the help of the assistant principal.
The investigation remains on-going with students and staff being interviewed -- and although motive has not yet been established, and bullying not yet mentioned, seems almost inevitable that the issue of mental health will probably surface as part of the reason the high school sophomore went on the senseless stabbing spree.

text: gray wolf Not One, But Seven Wolves In California By Ed Joyce • Aug 21, 2015 California Fish & Wildlife The California Department of Fish and Wildlife says cameras have captured images of five endangered gray wolf pups and two adults in Siskiyou County. The CDFW had previously collected evidence suggesting at least one wolf has traveled into southeastern Siskiyou County. Oregon's Wolf Plans Considered By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • May 11, 2015 Public Domain Listen Listening... / 21:58 Russ Morgan describes wolf management planning. The fate of the gray wolf stands in sharp contrast to that of the northern spotted owl. While conservation groups seek to move the owl from threatened to endangered, the gray wolf could move in the other direction. But are a few dozen wolves in Oregon enough to consider a stable population? Under the current rules, yes. Russ Morgan is the Wolf Coordinator for Oregon Fish & Wildlife. The New Wolf Census: 77 By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Mar 2, 2015 Oregon Fish & Wildlife Listen Listening... / 22:10 Quinn Read talks wolf recovery and the barriers to a more robust recovery. The latest gray wolf census just arrived in Oregon, and it shows exactly what scientists expected: more wolves. At an estimated minimum census of 77, it's not like there are wolves in every backyard. But the number is enough to concern livestock owners, yet still low enough that groups like Oregon Wild want wolf protections to continue. Jackson County Considers Wolf Damage Payments By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Feb 4, 2015 Public Domain Listen Listening... / 14:35 Rob Klavins explains how wolf depredation committees work. Not so long ago, there were no wild wolves in Jackson County. There are still fewer than a dozen, say wildlife officials. But Jackson County commissioners are considering setting up a system to compensate ranchers for livestock losses to wolves. Rob Klavins at the group Oregon Wild is experienced with such systems from his work on wolf recovery in Northeast Oregon. More Wolves, Fewer Restrictions In Oregon By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Feb 2, 2015 Oregon State University Listen Listening... / 16:38 Josh Laughlin celebrates the continuing rise in Oregon's gray wolf population. OR-7 is a trailblazing wolf. Now other wolves have followed him from Northeast Oregon to establish new home territories in our part of the country. In fact, there are enough wolves in Eastern Oregon now (7 breeding pairs) for the state to change wolf protections. Cascadia Wildlands and other groups continue to push for wolf protection. OR-7 And Future Management Plans By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Sep 9, 2014 Oregon Fish & Wildlife Listen Listening... / John Stephenson talks about tracking the elusive OR-7. It's been a very big year for Oregon's rock-star wolf, OR-7. The wolf that roamed as far afield as California and Nevada returned to Oregon, found a mate, and fathered the first wild wolves born west of the Cascades in generations. New test results indicate OR-7's mate is also from Oregon, putting a "girl next door" spin on the new family. OR-7 And Friends: Wolf Management Goals By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Jun 25, 2014 Oregon Fish & Wildlife Listen Listening... / 14:47 Russ Morgan details the workings of Oregon's wolf program. Right between Mother's Day and Father's Day, wildlife officials confirmed that Oregon's most famous wolf is a father. OR-7, the wandering wolf, found a mate and is rearing pups in the Cascades. The news punctuated a busy period for wolves in both of our states. California wildlife officials announced endangered species protection for gray wolves... even though none are known to exist in the state. The Wolf At The Door: California Wrestles With A Predator's Return By Liam Moriarty • Jun 11, 2014 US Fish and Wildlife Service Listen Listening... / 4:56 It's been ninety years since the last native California wolf was trapped and killed. Last week, Oregon wildlife officials announced that OR-7, the wolf they've tracked wandering in and out of northern California, had found a mate and fathered a new litter in southern Oregon. That news contributes to the growing sense that it's only a matter of time till wolves re-inhabit the Golden State. Against this backdrop, California wildlife officials extended endangered species status to the gray wolf. Keeping Wolves On Track To Recovery By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Mar 17, 2014 Oregon State University Listen Listening... / 16:58 Rob Klavins of Oregon Wild is upbeat about wolf recovery in Oregon. Oregon's Fish and Wildlife Commission got a recent report on the success of wolf management in the state. And the process of wolf recovery appears to be going relatively well, even in the eyes of some environmental groups. OR-7 Checks In (With Help From Human Friends) By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Jan 21, 2014 Oregon State University Listen Listening... / 17:02 ODFW's Russ Morgan talks about wolf behavior--and OR-7's specific moves. He's so famous, he doesn't even need a name: OR-7, Oregon's wandering wolf. And California's, now and then. The Fight To Maintain Protected Status For Wolves By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Dec 23, 2013 Oregon State University Listen Listening... / 22:09 Josh Laughlin explains the opposition to the plan to roll back gray wolf protections. We nearly wiped out wolves in the United States. And now large areas that were once home to wolves, including all of California, are wolf-free.

Last week, animal control in Columbia, Tenn. received a call about a kitten that had been thrown out of a moving vehicle along the highway.
A motorist contacted Maury County Animal Control after removing the kitten from State Highway 31. Several other cars reportedly stopped as well.
The kitten was taken to Eva's Eden, a cat rescue shelter in Columbia.
"He's in bad shape," reports Eva's Eden on their website. "(T)here is evidence that in addition to being thrown from the car, he has been suffering abuse for some time."
Due to a horrible abscess, part of his tail has already been clipped off, and the remainder will be removed next week. It is believed he may have been attacked by a dog or another large animal.
"They pulled gravel out of his little face from being thrown from the moving vehicle," the rescue adds.
The kitten was thrown from the moving vehicle at approximately 6:00 Wednesday night, along State Highway 31.
Officials are looking for information on the person or persons responsible. They hope that someone who stopped saw the car, got a license plate number or can identify who was in the vehicle. Anyone with information is asked to call the City of Columbia Animal Control at (931) 375-1408.
The Veterinary Wellness Center of Columbia is accepting donations for the kitten's medical care. Call the Center at (931) 548-2523 or donate through PayPal.
On their website, Eva's Eden said "We want justice for this little one, and want to ensure there aren't any additional kittens or litter mates suffering at the hands of who did this."

EVANSTON, Ill. -- The monkey is off the University of Iowa men's basketball team's back.
After starting off Big Ten Conference play with an 0-3 record, the Hawkeyes notched their first league victory of the season, using a dominating defensive effort to down Northwestern, 70-50, on Sunday night inside Welsh-Ryan Arena.
The win ends a five-game losing streak to the Wildcats and improves Iowa's record to 12-5 overall and 1-3 in conference action.
"That's as good as we can play defensively," said UI head coach Fran McCaffery. "This offense is extremely difficult to guard. I don't know I have ever been in a game where the team I was involved with guarded it any better. The key was sustainability and not getting them a lot of second chance opportunities."
Northwestern made five first half field goals and was 15-of-51 (29.4 percent) for the game. The Wildcats made 5-of-26 (19.2 percent) 3-point attempts and was 15-of-25 from the charity stripe.
After Northwestern trimmed a 10-point deficit two six points on a pair of layups off of two Iowa turnovers to start the second half, McCaffery called a quick timeout. From there, sophomore Aaron White took over, scoring nine of 13 points to push the Iowa lead to 38-25 at the 13:11 mark.
"We gave them two layups, that gets the crowd involved and their bench involved," said McCaffery. "The most important thing was we scored the next two baskets and got it back to a double-digit lead. That's what good teams do."
Sophomore Josh Oglesby followed with back-to-back 3-pointers to push the lead to 44-27 with 12 minutes to play before junior Melsahn Basabe netted Iowa's next seven points to push the lead to 51-35 with 10:16 to play.
The Hawkeyes controlled the action from there, building their lead to a game-high 27 points (68-41) on a 3-pointer by Oglesby -- his fourth of the game -- and a fast break layup by junior Zach McCabe with 5:35 to play. Iowa cruised to the 20-point victory.
"It's only a matter of time, he's too good of a shooter," said McCaffery of Oglesby's performance. "I am so proud of him, he's working at it. I just keep encouraging him to shoot. When he's doing that, we're a pretty good team."
Three Iowa players reached double figures with White leading the way with 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting to go along with six rebounds. Oglesby found his shooting touch, making 5-of-11 field goal attempts, including four 3-pointers, and Basabe finished with 11 points, making 5-of-6 attempts.
Junior Roy Devyn Marble started and finished with eight points in 30 minutes after missing the Jan. 10 game against Michigan State with an ankle injury.
The Hawkeyes shot 46 percent (29-of-63) from the floor and 25 percent (4-of-16) from 3-point range. Iowa had 22 assists on its 29 field goals and committed nine turnovers. The team also held a 43-33 advantage on the glass and a 40-18 edge in points in the paint.
Baskets were few and far between over the first 12 minutes, as Iowa and Northwestern played to an 11 all tie. The Hawkeyes then used an 8-0 spurt to take a 19-11 lead and closed out the half on a 16-5 run to take a 25-15 lead into the break.
Marble and White accounted for 10 of the 16 points over the final 6:10. Marble made back-to-back jumpers to push the Iowa advantage to double digits (23-13), and freshman Adam Woodbury's lay-up pushed the margin to 25-13.
The Hawkeyes shot 35.7 percent (10-of-28) from the field and 0-of-5 from 3-point distance. Northwestern was 5-of-24 from the floor (20.8 percent) and 1-of-11 from long range. Twelve of Iowa's 25 points came in the paint, and it assisted on seven of its 10 field goals.
Iowa returns to action Saturday, hosting Wisconsin at 7 p.m. on Mediacom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The game will be played on the 20th anniversary of former Hawkeye Chris Street's death.
"We're going to remember one of the great Hawks of all-time, as we've done the last 20 years and will continue to do forever," said McCaffery. "There will be a lot of emotion in the building, we just have to focus on the game and bringing the Hawkeyes home a victory."

The next generation of web developers and designers
by Cedric Dugas on November 9, 2009
I recently did a round table with other graduates from my college to first years students in the Multimedia Integration program. It was fascinating to see the actual next generation that would work on the web, and what was their inspiration as new students in a 3 year program were they would learn all about design, front-end development (HTML, CSS, Javascript and a bit of PHP), flash, video and 3d.
First thing I saw was that I was becoming old, with 5 years working as a front-end developer, I already lost some hairs and could have been a teacher. The students looked a bit like kids that liked to play video games a lot, which in fact when I think about it, was not very different from me.
Eager to learn
They were very eager to learn about design at Ubisoft, what is a typical day at work in general, and how they can do freelancer stuff. The fact is, freelancer students are rare, mostly because they are not ready to work professionally, unless they got a peculiar natural talent. Most of the questions were directed to the Ubisoft work environment. This was not really a surprise, mostly everyone loves games in this program and when you pick up one of the the only public program with 3d, it is bound to attract this crowd.
It is more important than you could imagine, in Montreal the video game industry is very present, we got a big Ubisoft, and some smaller Bioware and EA offices around. Even if there is (was, recently announced to close) a Ubisoft school, it affected a lot the Multimedia Integration program in 5 years. Web centric courses like javascript has been diluted a bit to let place to 3d and video. I cannot blame them. As a student you're expecting a lot more courses about 3d than those about HTML. Students are still clients, and you need to bend a bit to their will.
One thing some of them will figure out later is that 3d is not necessary as much fun as they could imagine. I was very exited to learn Softimage XSI at college, and was very disappointed when I figured out that I literally sucked at it. This is where my interest for the web really kicked in, I needed to redirect my career choices.
A bit less technical
One thing that disappointed me was the lack of new technologies they were learning. Not learning any javascript framework is a big error I think. I am all about 1 session on learning basic javascript, but not one agency in Montreal is still doing pure javascript, and having a jQuery, Mootools or Prototype on their CV would help a lot. That means for employer that these students are up to date with javascript technologies. And you know what, I am pretty sure students would like a lot more javascript courses with a framework. You can actually have fun with frameworks. When you have fun you learn more. Just try to do anything interesting with pure Javascript.
Also there is still no UX (user experience design) centric course, personally I think this is even more important than plain design, everyone can profit from this kind of courses, this help to understand how to structure website with another level of knowledge than just Photoshop design.
One good thing however is that they are learning AS3, big time, instead of Director. There is a lot of jobs for flash developer and I can say that AS3 is valuable, specially for a front-end, that is one thing I'm currently lacking (working slowly on it..).
So what kind of web developers and designers we will get out of this? Certainly more design oriented graduates with a bit less technical knowledge. Personally I am a bit at the opposed side, I can help in usability and user experience but I cannot design a button even if my life was depending on it.
PS: Please keep in mind that this situation is really specific to Montreal and Quebec region, I do not know what kind og program they offer in the US or the rest of Canada. I am not talking about computer science but more Multimedia specific programs.

Your article is very interesting, I am a web designer and I see every day the situation which you described in the article, I mean, the new web designers don't know how to work with a javascript framework, but they learn AS 3.0, this situation happens in my country, Uruguay.
Have a nice day!
Nice article.
So, is it easy for a front end developer to find job in Montreal ?, is there a lot of demand for this ?
It is pretty easy, finding a fun front-end job is less easy
I personally think that having a portfolio with xhtml/css template a some small js plugins help a lot.

New Week
Monday, February 11, 2013
Today is day 1 of my work week and so far so good. Of course it's only 1 hour and 45 minutes into my shift, but so far I can say I am proud of the work that I have done.
I am a 911 dispatcher.
It can be very trying sometimes, and if you do not stay positive people will bring you down. Now, when I say people I am lumping EVERYONE into that category, not just the people who call and yell and call you names. Those people can bring you down for sure, but so can the people you sit with for your shift.
I have been doing this job for almost 7 years and I don't know crap. There is always something new and I still have questions, I am always learning and I hate making mistakes.
This week I am setting goals for myself here at work. I know that everyone makes mistakes...I certainly have my own list and I know that I will be have more to add as time goes by. I know I have learned from them and can use them to help newbies when ever we get them.
1st goal is to pay more attention to the job that I am doing and not the gossip that is going on around me.
2nd goal is to be the best I can be to everyone that calls, whether it's an officer calling for something, a citizen that is calling the non- emergency line for something or a 911 call. I am going to try to do a mental eval on myself after phone calls or calls in general.
3rd goal is to not let the people I work with negatively influence the way I do my job. I will try to speak up in a positive manor and always do what my mind is telling me...not my co-worker :)

MOM362- I love those calls we get from kids who are learning to use 911....I had a little boy once call because his dad needed help fixing the home computer LOL!!! :)

First of all, thank you for the job you do. I am sad to hear you say that people who call can be so rude and disrespectful. Second of all, I have to apologize for the 911 call my now 23 year old son made when he was in elementary school the day they taught the kids about 911. Seems he had to try it out for himself and we didn't know until after he hung up and the dispatch called us back. We found him hiding behind the couch because he thought he was going to get in trouble. Kidding aside, I have worked in healthcare for twenty six years, I don't know about anyone else in the field but I accepted the fact that learning is a good thing, makes me better at what I do and is simply part of my job and always will be. Once I accepted that, I learned to embrace it. I have also accepted the fact that I am not perfect and do not know everything. No one does and it is the people who think they do that are dangerous. And finally, I am a much happier person if I leave the gossip alone, no matter how many people are doing it. Sounds like you are setting admirable standards and goals for yourself, good for you!

Are you still looking for Molly? She'll probably be at Shrine Nightclub on Tuesday, February 11th for the re-scheduled performance of Grammy winner Cedric Gervais. Gervais recently took home his first Grammy for his remix of Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness."
Having to re-schedule his original January 21st performance due to cold & hazardous weather conditions, Gervais will certainly be heating things up in Shrine this time around. Tickets are currently available for $20 in advance, or can be purchased at the door (subject to increased rate).
Q & A with Cedric Gervais
1. SK: Who/what inspires you? Who's music is playing on your iPod (or your music player of choice) right now?
CG: "Daft Punk, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix are artists that have inspired me in one way or another."
2. SK: Have you ever DJ'd at Shrine before? What are your expectations?
CG: "Yes, I love the energy of the crowd at Shrine, if I remember correctly you guys know how to party. Let's go!"
3. SK: What are you looking forward to in 2014? Any new albums or artist collaborations you can tell me about? Which current artist would you like to work with?
CG: "I'm really excited about my next collaboration with Miley Cyrus, I've remixed her new single "Adore You" and will be putting this out in the next few weeks. I'm also working with songwriter Rick Nowels who wrote "Summertime Sadness" and "Young and Beautiful" with Lana Del Rey. And I'm planning some big productions of my own and possibly an album towards the end of the year."
4. SK: What's your take on the title "EDM?" Do you think it's fair/appropriate for artists in the electronic music category to be "labeled" under such a broad category?
CG: "Coming from Europe & DJing and producing house music for such a long time, I don't feel it necessary to categorize all the genres under one umbrella."

Qualities Of A Good Wedding Singer in Staffordshire
Entertainment in weddings is the only thing that makes the day beautiful and fulfilling as it should be and that is the reason you should get the best entertainer at all cost to make sure that it remains a memorable day to you and your friends. A boring wedding will always piss people off because for one they attended to have all the fun they could get. Some guests attend weddings when stressed and unhappy with a sole purpose of finding happiness and the wedding is the ideal place to find that, at least forget about all the problems and have fun. It is therefore your duty as a couple to look for wedding singers who will let all the guests have fun to the fullest in a way they can never forget. It is your big day anyway; why not give it your best? There are so many wedding singers in Staffordshire who are in the market but not all are the best. Therefore you should first have testimonials from other people who have also used the services of the same person you are looking for and mostly look for several recorded performances in other weddings to ensure that you are dealing with the right person who will neither disappoint you nor your guests in attendance. What are the top qualities of a good wedding singer in Staffordshire?
Being a wedding singer you should be able to know what makes people happy. Understand them first and rom there you can be able to tell the kind of music that you are going to sing. It is advisable for a wedding singer to consider each and every guest in attendance regardless of their age and class so that everyone can feel in the right place. In this regard you should hire a wedding singer who is willing to entertain everyone and engage them in their performances too. That way you wouldn't have to feel that you spent too much money on one person and later realize that it was not all worth it.
Reasonable pricing
In a s much we all would like to think that a wedding being your once in a lifetime event and you should make everyone happy in terms of entertainment, it is also very important to be a bit conscious on the pricing because some of the wedding singer prices are seriously exaggerated whereas you can also get the same services at a cheaper price. It is therefore your duty as the spouse to make sure you at least pay something tangible but on the other hand avoid having debts in the name of entertainment because even though it is your big day, there are other many days ahead of you that will need more money. A good wedding singer should therefore not overcharge the clients because they may be able to recommend their services to other people in future.in order to enjoy work from other clients, it is also good to be friendly to all the guests as a wedding singer because just like an office person you are also working. Attitude is the key quality of a good singer.

October 18, 2012 | Vol. 116 -- No. 26
By JOHN McCALLUM
A last minute breakaway goal sent the Lady Hawks soccer team to defeat in a crucial Great Northern League match up last Thursday at East Valley.
In the 77th minute, Cheney struggled to possess a ball in the midfield and the Knights capitalized, sending a pass over the Lady Hawks defenders into the backfield. Nikkie Roemer tracked it down, dribbled about 20 yards and launched a shot from just outside the 18-yard box over goalkeeper Montana Andrews for the score giving East Valley the 2-1 win.
It was a hard way for Cheney to lose a game in which they played the third-p...

You know strong bones and supple muscles are key to looking and feeling younger. But don't neglect your fascia, the seamless web of connective tissue covering your muscles, bones, and organs. "When the fascia is toned and hydrated, your joints are more flexible, and you feel fewer age-related aches," says Sue Hitzmann, an exercise physiologist in New York City, who created a system of moves for use on a foam roller, called MELT (Myofascial Energetic Length Technique). The exercises also stimulate collagen production to give you firmer skin. Do these moves and you'll feel results right away; try them every three days for three weeks for significant improvement.
Time it takes: 10 minutes
How often: Three times a week. You can also do some or all of the moves daily or after your normal workout in addition to stretching.
Equipment: You'll need a foam roller (MELT Roller, $31). Rollers come in various densities. Hitzmann recommends one with more give. A roller that's too hard may make the moves painful instead of pleasurable.
Complementary workouts: Whether you run, swim, cycle, or do yoga, you'll notice improved performance if you do these moves.
Use a slow, rolling movement often: If you feel discomfort when you're on the roller, it's a sign that the fascia is tight, knotted, or dehydrated. Instead of racing over a tight spot, pause there for two or three breaths until the tissue releases.
Roll from side to side: Also known as shearing, this technique mobilizes tissue layers so they open up and ease restrictions. When you hit a tight spot, position it directly on top of the roller. Hold the roller still while you move over it side to side, going back and forth over the hot spot.
Trainer TipBefore you start your workout, lie on your back for two minutes and notice how your body feels at rest: Is your body touching the floor evenly? Where are you stiff and sore? Return to this position after you finish the moves to see how your body has changed. You should feel more relaxed, flexible, and pain-free.
What it does: Works your hips.
1. Sit on the foam roller, placing your hands wide apart behind you for stability. Cross your left ankle over your right knee. Let your body sink into the roller, holding for four slow breaths. You'll feel the tissue surrounding your hip begin to release.
2. Turn to the left, leaning toward your crossed leg so your weight rests on your hip. Hold for two breaths, and then roll small, slow circles on your hip two or three times, pausing when you hit a tight spot. Switch sides.
What it does: Strengthens your deepest abdominal muscles and releases your tight hip flexors.
1. Lie on your back with the roller centered beneath your hips: Don't let it rest under your lower back. Bring both knees into your chest, keeping your shins nearly parallel to the floor and allowing your ribs to sink into the floor. Place your hands on both ends of the roller for better stability.
2. Using your abdominal muscles to stabilize your lower back, lower your left leg to tap the floor with your toes. Avoid arching your back when you move your legs. Do 10 reps, then switch legs and repeat. Do two sets.
What it does: Eases your knee pain and corrects hip imbalances.
1. Lie facedown, with the roller under your pelvis. Place your left forearm on the floor for support and turn onto your left side, resting your hip on the roller.
2. Slowly roll down the side of your thigh from your hip to just above your knee. Hold and roll slowly from side to side over tight spots. When you reach the top of your knee, turn toward the floor and roll up the front of your thigh, keeping your weight on the roller. Repeat two to three times; switch sides and repeat.
What it does: Lengthens your sides, improving posture.
1. Kneel in front of the roller and place your right hand in the middle, as if you were giving it a karate chop.
2. Stretch your right arm out and slightly to the left, pushing the roller away from you until your arm is extended. Press your left hand into the floor to send your hips to the right as you reach your right arm farther to the left. Hold for four slow breaths, breathing into the right side of your body. Switch sides and repeat.
What it does: Stretches and lengthens thighs.
1. Begin lying facedown with your forearms on the ground. Position the roller so you rest on the side bones of your pelvis, not your pubic bone. Tuck your pelvis under so you won't arch your back. Begin to lower your head to rest on your forearms and bend your right knee.
2. Reach your right arm back to grasp your right foot. Try to raise your knee higher, feeling your leg lengthening from knee to hip. Hold for at least three full breaths. Return to start. Switch sides and repeat. Do twice on each side.
Trainer TipAs you roll, you might notice that one side of your body feels less supple than the other. This is normal, Hitzmann says. Do an extra set of these moves on your stiff side, holding at the tight spots. That should balance out your body after 10 workouts.
What it does: Strengthens and lengthens your upper back.
1. Sit on the floor with the roller behind you. Lean your back against the roller so it's level with your bra strap. Place both hands behind your head. Moving from your ribs, lift your head and curl forward (as if doing a crunch), gently pressing your spine into the roller.
2. Reverse direction and slowly lean back over the roller, making sure not to overextend your neck or lower back. Take a deep breath to engage your abs, and then return to start while you exhale. Repeat three to four times.

The fear of a thunderstorm did not stop the preparation and rehearsal for the great Capitol Fourth concert tonight. The light rain did not stop people from heading to the Capitol to hear Frankie Valli, Michael McDonald, and Patti LaBelle as they joined the all star cast in preparing for one of the nation's greatest July 4th events.
The Capitol Police greeted visitors to the Capitol as people placed their lawn chairs and umbrellas on the grounds to listen to the performers practice their routines for the show tomorrow. There was light rain at 7:30 pm; however, by the time of the start of the practice at 8 pm the rain had stopped.
Frankie Valli was in great form as he rehearsed the songs that he will perform tomorrow. At 80 years of age his voice was amazingly strong and clear as he sang several of his classics. Michael McDonald also gave the audience a thrill as he sang a favorite, Sweet Freedom, and showed no signs of slowing down as he approaches his 40th year as a solo artist.
The weather forecast predicted rain and indicated that Hurricane Arthur was creating heavy rain and high winds in South Carolina through southern Virginia. However, the concert rehearsal was able to start and finish without any delay. After the last performers left the stage there was a slight burst of rain. It only rained for about 10 minutes before the streets around the Capitol cleared again.
The Capitol Fourth concert is on schedule for July 4th and the hope is that the weather will cooperate as it did during the rehearsal tonight. The Capitol Police will follow the security procedures at each checkpoint tomorrow and concert goers are reminded that no alcoholic beverages are allowed on the Capitol grounds. It is a good idea to arrive early to get the best locations to view the concert.
Happy 4th of July, America.

By Dan O'Neill/St. Louis Post-Dispatch
ST. LOUIS — The first opening day for a major-league ballplayer is always going to be special. No one would suggest otherwise. But a vibrant smile late Monday afternoon was a dead giveaway that David Freese especially enjoyed his second opening day at Busch Stadium.
Last spring, Freese rode in the ceremonial motorcade, received the ceremonial introduction, then took an un-ceremonial seat on the bench as Brian Barden started at third base. Barden went 0 for three and the Cardinals lost a chilly opener 6-4 to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
This time, again with family members and friends in the stands, the St. Louis-raised Freese didn't just take part in the pre-game pomp, he took part in the game as well.
Starting at third, Freese contributed a double among two hits and played flawless defense as the Cardinals dominated the Houston Astros 5-0.
"I had a blast," Freese said. "It was cool. Being part of opening-day ceremonies is always fun, it's my second one. But starting is something special."
Many ensuing days have a chance to be special for Freese. Last spring, when both Barden and infielder Joe Thurston got off to fast starts, it became evident Freese would not get the playing opportunity anticipated. He was gone by April 22, optioned to Class AAA Memphis.
A month later, it became evident Freese was still bothered by discomfort in his left ankle, injured in a car accident the previous January. Surgery was required, and Freese's hope of returning to St. Louis in midsummer evaporated.
This spring, Freese is healthy and the Cardinals are more invested. Although Felipe Lopez can play the position, third is not his best locale. He is most valued for his availability to play several positions; ditto for outfielder-infielder Joe Mather.
For his part, while he is careful not to put the Clydesdale before the wagon, so to speak, Freese is determined to stick. "We got a good team," Freese said. "Not taking anything for granted, we've got to keep working hard. But we've got a good team."
Batting eighth in a lineup dotted with Albert Pujols, Matt Holliday, Ryan Ludwick and Colby Rasmus, Freese is off to a decent start with the bat, hitting .273 with four RBIs in six games. Nothing untoward there.
That said, the first week has been slightly adventurous defensively. After a solid exhibition season, Freese has been caught betwixt and between on a couple of plays in this still-infant season. There have been three official errors and another awkward moment or two.
But before the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately crowd gets too excited, it might be fair to point out that the season is seven games old. That leaves 155 to play.
During his continuously healthy 2008 season, Freese had 120 games at third for Memphis, fashioning a .967 fielding percentage on 306 chances and 10 errors. He had a .941 percentage in his fragmented, 56-game season of 2009. Memphis manager Chris Maloney was slightly miffed to even be asked about Freese's defensive credibility.
Maloney managed Freese over his two Memphis seasons, and he has zero reservations about his abilities. "He's a very good defensive third baseman; I've seen him make some tremendous plays," Maloney said, after Memphis won 7-6 at Iowa on Tuesday. "I don't think six or seven games is a fair sample. Everybody is kind of jumping the gun a little bit here."
When the Cardinals won the World Series in 2006, Scott Rolen played 146 games at third, had a .965 percentage and made 15 errors on 428 total chances. The reference is not to suggest the rookie Freese is a clone of the highly decorated Rolen, but it suggests the difference is not as radical as one week of play might portray.
"David Freese is one of the better third basemen I have seen, period," Maloney emphasized. "He can play third base. He's got great hands. He's got a good first step. The stuff he did for me is as good as it gets. It's almost, almost, Rolen-esqe.
"He's tougher than a piece of rawhide; I love that kid to death. We got ourselves a heck of a third baseman in St. Louis."
Freese has a quality in common with several revered third basemen of the Cardinals' past, players like Rolen, Ken Reitz, Terry Pendleton and Ken Boyer. You may have seen Freese back up on a ground ball, but you won't see him back down.
"We know he has enough talent, but you have to show toughness," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "And he never tries to hide. That's critical if you're going to be any good. He's going to be fine."
Freese, who turns 27 later this month, is keeping things in perspective. He has spent four minor-league seasons getting here. He has dealt with offseason adversity — an alcohol-related arrest last winter, a car accident the winter before. He has experienced ups and downs enough to know they are part of the process. The game's pace is not rapid; it is relentless.
"That's baseball," Freese said. "I'm just trying to look at the big picture with everything. We're all human. It does get in your head a little bit, whether it's at the plate, or in the field or at the mound.
"But you just have to learn from what's happening and just try to keep progressing. Because the bottom line is they're counting on you when you're out on the field to produce and come through."
With his ability to remain quiet at the plate, to wait on pitches and drive them to the gaps, Freese has been a destructive righthanded hitter in the minors. In 187 games with Memphis, the 6-foot-2, 215-pound Freese had 44 doubles, three triples and 36 home runs. And with power-alley dimensions of 360 feet and 373 feet, AutoZone Park is not an easy mark.
Stands to reason, as the season unfolds and Freese settles in and finds his major league mojo, his best baseball is yet to come. Being a bookend to a talented batting lineup, Freese doesn't need to force the issue. He is adopting a less-is-more approach.
"When I get up there, more times than not, there are going to be guys on base," Freese said. "So I just have to keep it simple and do what I can to get guys across the plate."
The "hot corner" in your home major league town presents unique challenges. The pressures, the distractions are magnified. Cardinals like Mike Shannon, Ken Oberkfell and Scott Cooper had various degrees of success and struggles with it. One week in, Freese isn't discouraged by a wrinkle or two that needs ironing.
"When things happen, you just have to turn it around," Freese said. "Short memory, that's the key. This game will get you if you let things linger."
So forgive David Freese if those memories of opening day don't linger past his day off Tuesday. This season, he's set on building a scrapbook.

I consider a library a social instituation. I probably spent half of my studies in libraries hanging out with college friends - and it was not merely for reading books. We studied for exams, we did research on the Net, we held group sessions, and we shared information sources among each other.
Sure you may try to emulate this all in the virtual world, but I dare to say that
physical human-human interaction
is too important to be left to some IM chatting tool.

Football Heading To DFW To Aid In Tornado Relief Effort
Help us fill this truck full of supplies to aid those affected by Tuesday's tornadoes in Dallas/Fort Worth.
Photo Gallery
April 5, 2012
To help with relief efforts in the tornado ravaged Dallas/Fort Worth area, the Texas Tech Football team will be collecting supplies for a Saturday trip to Lancaster where volunteers will aid relief organizations in the cleanup that is currently underway.
Volunteers from the Texas Tech football team will join head coach Tommy Tuberville in a day trip to the metroplex to visit an area that was struck by 13 reported Tornadoes on Tuesday afternoon. The team will concentrate its effort in Lancaster which was one of the cities impacted the most by Tuesday's storms.
The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex makes up Texas Tech's largest alumni base (approximately 40,000) while 7,600 students from DFW were enrolled at Texas Tech in the fall semester. Of Texas Tech's 400 student-athletes, 69 are from the DFW Metroplex, including 24 on the current football roster.
"Dallas/Fort Worth is basically our second home and we were devastated on Tuesday as we watched the live reports detailing the damage," said head coach Tommy Tuberville. "We felt like this was the right thing to do for our football program and for Texas Tech University. Going down there and volunteering our time and providing aid is the least we can do for a community that has given so much to Texas Tech for so many years."
Texas Tech is asking that all DFW area alumni and fans dedicate this Saturday to volunteering for local relief organizations and to help aid in the cleanup. The team will arrive at Lancaster High School around noon on Saturday to drop off relief supplies that will be collected in Lubbock on Friday and will then report to the Lancaster Public Library (1600 Veterans Parkway) around 1 p.m. to begin cleanup.
Texas Tech is making a call to the Lubbock community and asking that fans donate supplies to the relief effort beginning at 7 a.m. on Friday morning at the Football Training Facility (6th Street and Univ. Ave - East Side of Jones AT&T Stadium). The Texas Tech Football equipment truck, provided by Willis Moving & Storage and Lubbock Truck Sales, will be parked in front of the facility and will transport the supplies in a caravan with the volunteers from the football program on Saturday morning.
The following are items that are being requested:
Supplies will be collected from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. Fans that wish to contribute monetarily can do so through the American Red Cross by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 or go to redcross.org.
"DFW really needs our help right now and I know the great people of Lubbock will rally and help us collect a ton of supplies that will be put to good use," said Tuberville. "We even have a second equipment truck that is used by the Goin' Band on standby if we can collect enough supplies. It would be really great to take two truckloads down to Dallas on Saturday and help show those folks what Texas Tech University and West Texas are all about."
The equipment truck and team bus will depart for Lancaster on Saturday morning at 6 a.m. and will return to Lubbock late Saturday evening.

I'd say it is. Went thru the same thing. The more my baby BF, the hungrier I got. I continued w/ my prenatal vitamins & was eating healthy, fruits, vegs & whole grains. My nutrionist ( enlisted due to high metabolism that caused me to loose weight during pregnancy) stated I needed more caloriie intake when BF & to incorporate more protein into my diet. Since I lost my appetite for meats while pregnant & didn't get it back until I stopped BF @ 15mo, I started drinking protein shakes instead & it helped greatly to diminish my consistent hunger.posted 08/03/2013 by DLBarbee
Normal. I'm going through it now with my three week old. There are days I only go to the bathroom once a day because he's drained my liquids.posted 08/03/2013 by FDLora

Oil, Gas Industries in Full Shutdown Mode
Russell Gold reports:
The offshore energy industry is in full shut-down mode. The federal government has reported that 77% of oil production and 36% of natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico is now shut down. These figures are expected to rise again tomorrow as more offshore platform and pipelines close. According to the report, nearly one million barrels of daily oil production is now shut down. The last time this happened was in November 2005, after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In addition, 2.75 billion cubic feet of daily natural gas production is now shut down. The industry is closing up its offshore operations to prevent spills and evacuate its workers to safety. The industry can restart production within days of landfall, if there are no problems with pipelines and structures.
A critical question remains for energy markets: how much damage will Hurricane Gustav cause and how quickly will the industry be able to restart production in the gulf, which accounts for about 25% of U.S. oil production and 14% of gas production. In 2005, more than 50% of Gulf of Mexico production stayed out of service until early November, about 2½ months after Katrina's landfall.

Consider the sequence $a_n = 2^{2^n}+1$ of so-called Fermat numbers. It's well known that $a_5$ isn't prime ($a_5 = 641 \cdot 6700417$, this is due to Euler). What I want to know about this sequence is the smallest factor of any of its composite terms. Is it simply 641, or does a later composite term in the sequence have a smaller factor?
I originally wanted to ask if there had been any effort to solve similar problems for other sequences as well, but that's not something I feel MSE would want. If someone has any info on this, however, they should feel free to comment or add it to their answer!

Sadly, the reviews on amazon are not favorable. Most say the bag loses its cold properties fairly quickly (within a half hour).

In the same way that fans rushed out to buy Michael Jackson's music following his passing in June 2009, Amy Winehouse's album and single sales have skyrocketed in the days since her death at age 27 on Saturday.
According to Nielsen SoundScan, Winehouse sold more albums in the past reporting week (which ended on Sunday) than she did in the first six months of this year, moving 50,000 copies versus 44,000 year-to-date as of July 17.MTV celebrates Amy Winehouse's music with a special show this Wednesday.
That sales push has sent her second album, 2006's breakthrough Back to Black, into the #9 position on the Billboard 200 albums chart this week, with 37,000 copies sold. In the previous week, the album had sold just 1,000 copies. In a testament to the power of the Internet, of those Black sales, 36,000 were digital.
Sales of Winehouse's 2003 debut, Frank, were also up, charting at #57 with nearly 8,000 in sales, a 4,100 percent jump from the week before. As with Black, nearly all of the Frank sales (7,000) were digital, with online purchases accounting for more than 95 percent off all of Winehouse's sales this week.
The figures for Black were the highest weekly tally since the week ending March 2, 2008, when it moved 38,000 units just two weeks after the British singer won five Grammy Awards .Read more about Amy Winehouse's influence on music beyond "Rehab."
Fans were also snatching up some of Winehouse's most beloved singles, with "Rehab" racking up 34,000 in digital sales, or nearly one-third of the total 111,000 in digital track sales for the singer this week.
