Catch 35 Restaurant Review: The range of seafood choices is so deep, you may feel as though you should pull up a deck chair to aid further study. Some preparations are given an Asian spin (mussels steamed in lemon grass broth); we find these to be the most successful. However, tried and true, fluffy crab cakes with corn relish and rémoulade are light on filler. White wine-lemon grass-steeped mussels are a good alternative. Sea scallops are always cooked right (as in not overdone) and they're prepared with mustard-soy glaze, garlic-chive aïoli and Parmesan risotto. You'll find a few token non-seafood dishes (chicken, steak), too. Desserts to focus on are the Key lime pie and the deep-dish apple pie. The atmosphere is understated yet sophisticated, with the kind of subtle lighting that makes it date-appropriate. Also located at 35 S. Washington St., Naperville, 630-717-3500.

"This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon." Jeremiah 29:4
If you drive through some parts of Detroit, you may see a bleak and overwhelming sight. There are blocks of burned out homes and run down businesses. You can find factories that have long since shut their doors, and bridges where the homeless are gathered. At one point in recent history, 60,000 people were leaving the city each year to find a better way. And yet, some have stayed behind.
At a recent business meeting, I was shocked by a story that never made the Detroit news. Outside a factory off of I-94, a man was found dead. He had a hack-saw in his hand, and was laying near an electrical pole. The police told the business owner who had found the body that this was a more common event than anyone would guess. The man had climbed the utility pole and tried to steal the conductive copper line. The man was electrocuted and flung from the pole.
Whether it was out of ignorance or greed, this man sealed his own fate with his tragic choice. If this kind of destructive behavior that has become more and more common, why would anyone choose to stay? God, it seems, uses times like this to raise His own people. The verse above from Jeremiah is followed by a command from God for His people to be fruitful in their new situation. He is telling them to do more than just stand still. They are to thrive in their new setting. It was a far cry from their promised land, but it was the new place of promise. And so it is that Detroit may be a place where many need to make a decision. Will we stand still, fall back, or forge ahead?
Nearly every professional in and around the city has considered what they may need to do in order to survive. We all make the choice every day to either stick it out or pack it in. Simply standing still is the most sure-fire way to find yourself frustrated and hurt. It is a time like this that we all need prayer and insight in order to figure out what to do next. God's will for us may be to find a better way right where we are at.
Life, it seems, is too short. It goes by whether we like it or not. If you find yourself unable to move from your present circumstance, it may be that you still need to learn a couple things about where you are. God's will may be in your own backyard, and not on the other side of the fence. Before you make a decision that pulls you away, take a look at Matthew 6:33 and you may find that God has different plans.
Be blessed this week as you face each day. There are days when we will soar, and days where just getting out of bed is a tremendous act of faith. Either way, God will be there with you. Tune in again later this week as we continue to share in this great gift called life. Until then, God bless and keep reading.

BTW, check me and Kirill doing Tango at the party here. I'm now relaxed after literally living at work for the past few weeks to pull the keynote demo.

In a related article published here in eweek, a quote from the article says "The companies' cooperation will soon give developers freedom to work with Web services partners using Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation (formerly "Indigo" or JAX-WSA (Java API for XML Web Services Addressing)."
Although I fully agree with Peter that this cooperation between the two companies will provide flexibility to work with either of the framework. But here WCF is incorrectly compared to JAX-WSA. The latter provides an API to enable WS-Addressing support in Java platform and is just one of the multiple specifications supported by WSIT. Instead WCF should be correctly compared to WSIT. I've already emailed a correction to the editor and hopefully will hear back soon.

A video clip of the keynote demo is available here. This clip starts with our keynote presentation where Nick Kassem explains the business scenario which shows how Web services technologies enables integration within and across business boundaries. Watch me explaining the development environment to Jeff Jackson from 3:46 to 4:48. All the tools and technologies used in the demo are available today. And then Kirill Gavrylyuk shows an interoperability demo between Infocard and Sun's Secure Token Service. A picture is worth thousand words, here is a graphical representation of the scenario.
On the right, a Retail Quote Service (RQS), running in Sun-managed environment, uses Wholesale Quote Service (WQS) to serve car quotes to Java and WCF consumers shown on the bottom left. RQS also gets competitive bids from a WQS running in a Microsoft managed environment. The clients talk to the RQS secure MTOM, RQS talks to WQS using a Secure and Reliable Connection. Each managed environment has it's own identity provider, also known as Secure Token Service or STS in short. A trust relationship between the two environments is enabled by a trust relationship between a priori trust relationship between STS.
We also plan to share the demo code in the near future and I'll post another blog when it's available.
A specific Call To Action for you is to:
Check out some of the pictures I took at JavaOne on Tuesday. This picture shows me, Nick and Kirill.

These are some of the statistics of Sun's open-source implementation of next generation Web services technologies that deliver interoperability between Sun's Application Server 9.1 PE (part of GlassFish) and Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation (WCF, aka Indigo). This implementation is known as Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT) and is part of Project Tango. Sun delivers on the initial promise of facilitating interoperability with .NET platform by embracing and open sourcing implementations of key WS-\* specifications. Read more about the various technologies involved here.
We, engineers in Sun, have been working directly with Microsoft engineers ensuring out-of-the-box interoperability for WSIT artifacts with WCF. Read about Sun's participation in previous plugfests (Nov 2005 and Mar 2006).
NetBeans 5.5 IDE and documentation is released along with the source. This facilitate users to download the WSIT bundle and try the pre-existing samples or create new ones from scratch without remembering the exact syntax of config files or any other option that might be required to configure the sample.
Everything mentioned above can be downloaded at wsit.dev.java.net.
Download it, try it and pretty soon you'll find yourself completely immersed. And we do appreciate your feedback.

Microsoft and Sun engineers have been working very closely in the recent months to ensure interoperability of enterprise features. This will ensure that Sun's Project Tango, that will be released on java.net and installable on Glassfish, will interoperate with Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation (aka Indigo) out-of-the-box. After achieving great interoperability results between the two companies in the recent plugfest (Nov '05, Mar '06) meets conducted at Microsoft campus, Microsoft expressed interest in participating in the JSRs relevant to their enterprise feature.
This is an extremely pleasant surprise to the entire developer community since Microsoft's participation in the JCP will ensure that Microsoft can interoperate, not only with Sun, with the entire Java platform.
Interoperability between Microsoft and Sun products, as mentioned above, is a reality but every thing else said above is only wishful thinking since this blog is written to celebrate a special day of the year.
Happy April Fool's Day!
Technorati: Microsoft Sun JCP Interoperability April Fool Tango Indigo Glassfish
As reported earlier, Sun particiapted in the second plugfest hosted by Microsoft. Harold, Vivek, Mike, Jiandong and myself (all from Sun) spent most of the week in Redmond testing interoperability between Sun's Project Tango technologies and Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation. There were other Sun participants engaged remotely as well.
Again as mentioned, we were bigger and performed much better than the last plugfest. We tested interoperability of implementations of WS-Addressing (both W3C CR Core and SOAP Binding and W3C Member Submission), MTOM, Reliable Messaging, Schema and WSDL, Web Services Security 1.0 and Metadata Exchange. The source code of these implementations will be available in Glassfish and binaries in the Java Web Services Developer Pack in the future.
Robert Scoble stopped by during lunch yesterday and talked to us about our visit. As always, our answer was "It's all about customers"!. I'll post a link to the video log whenever it's available. Kirill and Jorgen were the main host and a bunch of other Microsoft engineers were present to help debug the problems through out the day.
I think the social aspect of participating in the plugfest really helps us to resolve problems quicker at the engineering level, when working remotely. Check out the some pictures from our participation at the plugfest.
BTW, catching up on my blog entries, I found Yasser Shohoud from Microsoft posted a link to WCF architecture overview and it's a good read!Technorati: Web Services Interoperability jwsdp Tango Indigo glassfish

For $0.65 an hour students perform labor such as assembling mice, scanners, keyboards, and more for up to 15-hour shifts. Most stay for a period of three months, but others remains for six months or longer. In addition to school kids, the factory reportedly prefers to hire women between 18 and 25 years old, since they are "easier to discipline and control."
Workers estimate that Microsoft accounts for about 30% of the production at KYE, the largest chunk, while companies like HP, Best Buy, Samsung, Foxconn, Acer, Logitech, and Asus are also named. The National Labor Committee has a lengthy article, complete with photos and employee accounts if you're interested.
Microsoft responded to the accusations, saying it is "committed to the fair treatment and safety of workers" and that it will take "appropriate remedial measures in regard to any findings of vendor misconduct."

Caroline Hostettler has lived in the Amish community of Wells Landing, Oklahoma for the past two years as a widow with her young daughter Emma. Everyone believes she is a widow who has come there to make a new life for herself. But there is more to the story that she does not want to reveal.
Andrew Fitch has come to Wells Landing to help his absent minded Uncle with his business, and to grieve the loss of his fiancée. Caroline's friend Ester tries to match them up, but neither one is very interested. They become friends, but what will happen to their relationship if Caroline's secret comes out? Find out in Caroline's Secret by Amy Lillard.
I enjoyed this book a lot. The story was interesting and kept me reading. I wanted things to work out for Caroline and Andrew but at times wondered if they would. The characters are interesting and fun, which make the story even more interesting.
Between each chapter is the text of a letter written for the most part by or to either Caroline or Andrew. I had mixed feelings about these letters. Some helped the story along especially if they linked the two chapters, or provided insight into what was going on at the time, but there were quite a few that I felt were just thrown in because there had to be a letter there and did nothing and some even hurt the story.
The consequences of keeping secrets is a major theme in this book. Caroline has kept her secret for a long time, and it has affected her life so much that she worries about what will happen if it comes out, and if affects her relationships.
On the whole this is an interesting book. I give it four out of five stars.
If there is a book you would like me to review, please write it in the Comments.
Soli Deo Gloria!

In Windows 8, when I go into
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance the amount of control over window colors is greatly reduced as compared to Windows 7. The color controls do not allow you to make Window borders display in black.
Is there some other way to set the window border color in Windows 8?
Edit 1: Clearly the standard way does not work in Windows 8. The question is, is there another way? Perhaps through the registry for example?
Edit 2: I tried copying the values in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM from my Win7 system to the Win8 system without success (killing the 2 DWM processes after each change - they are automatically restarted and do use the new values).

Violence Prevention & Action Center
One Billion Rising Raises Awareness and Gets Campus Dancing
On February 14th, over 60 John Carroll students, faculty, staff, and administrators participated in the One Billion Rising event. One Billion Rising is part of V-Day, which is a global, grassroots activist movement to bring attention to and help end violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation, and sex slavery. This year, on V-Day's 15th anniversary, the organization invited one billion women and those who love them to rise up and dance in solidarity to demand an end to this violence. One billion was chosen because statistics show that one in three women will be raped or beaten in her lifetime, the equivalent of one billion women alive today. A song, "Break the Chain," was written and choreographed for this movement.
On campus, two flash mobs danced to "Break the Chain" in front of the library at the change of classes and in the dining hall during lunch. Posters were hung and informational cards were distributed so that people would know the reason for the dance. The video can be viewed on the VPAC website. The website also includes the video "Man's Prayer," which features John Carroll men speaking out on the topic of violence against women. "Man's Prayer" streamed throughout the day on February 14 in the LSC Atrium.
Workshop for FSAs: How to Respond to Students Who have Experienced Violence
VPAC, in conjunction with the Dean of Students Office and the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center, is providing an opportunity for faculty, staff, and administrators to think about ways they can effectively respond to and support students who disclose incidents of relationship violence or sexual violence.
The workshop focuses on:
- Mandatory reporting requirements
- Reflections on our initial words and actions
- Resources available on and off campus
- Insights into the impact of trauma and the experience of survivors
The workshop will be held on Tuesday, March 19 from 3:30-5:00 p.m. in the O'Dea Room. Please contact Amanda Rolf, Coordinator of the Violence Prevention and Action Center at (216) 397-1975 for more information or to RSVP.

For Japanese voice actress Yuu Asakawa, her biggest challenge comes from learning a new language.
Asakawa, who has become a popular actress in such properties as the "Fate" series, "Vocaloid," and "Azumanga Daioh," said that she was inspired in middle school to study English after having a "really nice" English teacher, and said that being able to provide vocal samples for her Vocaloid, Luka, was good training for her English skills.
"English changed my life," she said.
Asakawa said that there was an English conversation teacher who helped her out with her English during the recordings, and that she loves Luka so much that she hopes that she becomes really popular.
"I hope she becomes more popular than (Vocaloid) Hatsune Miku," she said.
Asakawa, who writes on her Twitter and Facebook accounts in English, said that she finds writing in this format good practice for her, as well. But she also said that writing in English has also helped her with connecting with fans outside of Japan.
"It's amazing," she said. "People in Finland, England, United States know who I am. I still can't believe it."
Asakawa said that one of her favorite things was going to conventions that weren't connected to anime, such as ComiCon, where it's all about American pop culture. She said that it allowed her to experience what Americans liked so that she can relate better to her fans.
"When I am talking, I want to talk about what is popular in the US so I can entertain my fans," she said.
Asakawa said that her introduction to television show "The Walking Dead" was through her visit to ComiCon New York, where she saw banners and other advertisements for it. She said that when she went back home she sat down and watched all the episodes.
"Now I'm a big fan of it," she said.
Asakawa said that the main difference in Japanese anime fans and American anime fans is that she felt that Japanese fans are more focused on making their characters more accurate to what is in the show, while American fans like to do their own personal touches to their cosplays, such as a sexy lady version of No Face from "Spirited Away."
"America really is the land of the free when it comes to cosplay," she said.
Asakawa can be heard this year as the voice of Jess Beckham/Issac Newton in "Nobunagun," and as Love Topaz in online card game "Ring Dream."

Linkin Park Play Surprise Vans Warped Tour Set With Special Guests
Linkin Park played a surprise set at the Vans Warped Tour Ventura stop with members of A Day to Remember, The Devil Wears Prada and more guesting on songs.
Linkin Park played a surprise set at the Vans Warped Tour Ventura stop with members of A Day to Remember, The Devil Wears Prada and more guesting on songs.
It's still several months away, but band announcements are already being made for the 2014 edition of Warped Tour. The Devil Wears Prada are the latest addition to the lineup of the annual festival, which kicks off its 20th year June 14 in Salt Lake City (watch a preview video above).
2003 was a great year for music, there was a movement going on with different styles. You had the Ozzfest era bands of Disturbed, Korn, and Godsmack - Then you had the Vans Warped Tour bands like The Used and Story of the Year.
Both styles enjoyed equal success during this time and it's amazing to think it's been 10 years since then. Not so crazy enough that Story of the Year had decided to release a new "vision" of their debut LP "Page Avenue."
The traditionally punk-leaning Vans Warped Tour continues to evolve and 2013 features one of the most diverse lineups the festival has ever had.
Sad news to report from the Toronto, Canada, stop of the Warped Tour, as a 19-year-old female concertgoer died while in the crowd earlier today (July 15) during the band Chelsea Grin's afternoon set.
Music's own Craig Owens (frontman of D.R.U.G.S and ex-frontman of Chiodos) is growing up, as he has been given the chance to star in his very first movie. The opportunity comes at a cost though, as he is forced to cancel three of his band's Warped Tour dates in order to do the movie. Hopefully his film career is as successful as his music one!

SEATTLE – For the third time in program history, the Washington Huskies are the champions of the Pac-12 conference, and UW did not feel like sharing. A sweep of rival Washington State was the perfect way to cap an incredible 26-2 regular season, with an 18-2 mark in conference play, as the Huskies finished one game ahead of last year's champion Stanford. The 25-21, 25-21, 25-14 win in front of 3,811 fans still buzzing after an Apple Cup football win was made all the sweeter as it came on Senior Night, and all four Husky seniors played huge roles.
Fifth-ranked Washington honored seniors Kylin Muñoz, Jenni Nogueras, Jenna Orlandini, and Gabbi Parker after the match, going from a celebration with the Pac-12 trophy on midcourt of Alaska Airlines Arena, straight into senior ceremonies. Parker punctuated the victory with a kill on match point, on her only swing. Muñoz had four kills without an error, Orlandini had nine digs and two assists, and Nogueras had 19 assists, three digs and an ace.
The 18 conference wins is a school record, one more than the 2005 team that finished with a 17-1 mark, with two fewer conference matches in that period. Washington's two previous Pac-12 (then Pac-10) titles came in 2004 and 2005, also both led by Head Coach Jim McLaughlin, currently in his 13th year at the helm.
"I was telling the girls, they put in so many days and hours. Three-hundred and forty days a year or so, you're working hard. So the investment is so high," McLaughlin said. "The gratification for all the hard work and the return you get is the most important lesson … And this is a big return, but there's something bigger. We start a journey now that's even bigger.
McLaughlin was referring of course to the NCAA Championships, which Washington will compete in for the 12th year in a row, and which finishes with the Final Four in Seattle at KeyArena on Dec. 19 and 21. The NCAA tourney bracket will be revealed this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Pacific time on ESPNU. The Huskies will be expected to be one of the top seeds, and to host first and second round matches at Alaska Airlines Arena next week.
"We've done what we're supposed to do (in the regular season)" said McLaughlin. "We need to stay process driven, we've got to make a couple improvements, and now we've got to go play as hard as we can and see if we can win some matches."
While the seniors shared the win with their families on the court, they got plenty of help from the rest of the Husky underclassmen. Junior Krista Vansant was unstoppable with 19 kills on a .457 attack percentage, adding 14 digs and two blocks. Junior Kaleigh Nelson was also deadly with 10 kills and a .444 hitting percentage, as the Huskies hit .384 as a team, their best percentage in Pac-12 play, and fourth-best mark of the year.
Sophomore Cassie Strickland was big with five kills on a .308 mark, but also had a team-high 16 digs, and three big blocks and two aces. Katy Beals had 24 assists and an ace, and Lianna Sybeldon added six kills and three blocks.
After a red-hot start from both teams, UW hit .472 in the first set and WSU hit .467, the Huskies eventually began to get a wrap on the Cougars offense. WSU hit .146 in set two and just .067 in set three, as the Huskies pulled away to close out the sweep. Kyra Holt led WSU with 12 kills and Jaicee Harris added 10, as the Cougars fell to 18-15 and 5-15 in Pac-12 play. Washington has now won nine straight against its cross-state rivals.
Nelson killed the first swing of the match, and then Wade went back and dropped an ace off the defense on UW's first serve. WSU tied it up early and the teams went back and forth, playing a very high level with few errors either way. Wade ended an incredibly long rally with a quick shot to the side for 8-7 Huskies. The Cougars bounced right back, however, with a 3-0 run to take a 10-8 lead until they missed serve. Muñoz put an Orlandini set off the blockers for a kill, and then WSU overpassed the Orlandini serve and Vansant stuffed it down for 12-12. Vansant then finished another to put the Huskies back up one, but WSU answered with a kill as the teams went back and forth again. A Nelson finish brought up the media timeout with the Huskies up, 15-14. Kyra Holt continued to produce off the UW block, and she had three kills over one span, the last of which made it 17-all, and then UW was aced up the sideline and the Huskies took timeout down 17-18. Out of the break, WSU missed serve, and then UW finally produced a WSU error, as Sybeldon and Muñoz blocked Holt for 19-18 and WSU took timeout. After that break, Strickland took a little off her serve and it rolled down for an ace. The Cougars sided out, but kills from Vansant and Muñoz got the Dawgs to 22-20 and WSU took its last timeout. WSU scored but Vansant punished another Nogueras set, and then Nelson hit in transition for set point at 24-21. Vansant served and the Cougars overpassed, with Strickland jumping up to hit it down for an eventual kill after WSU could not quite get it back in play, ending things, 25-21. The teams combined for only three errors in the set, with WSU hitting .467, but UW just outpacing them at .472. Vansant had eight kills to counter the seven of Holt.
Nogueras set up Nelson and Sybeldon for kills to start the second set, but WSU won three straight and five of six to take a 5-3 lead. The Huskies responded with five of the next six their way, with Sybeldon putting down another, and Vansant killing a Strickland set, then teaming with Wade for a block in the middle. Wade and Nelson had a stuff of Ver'Leea Hardaway in the middle for 11-9. Strickland put one inside the blockers on the left, and then Vansant had a kill in transition for 15-11 at the media timeout. WSU took two back out of the break, but Vansant stopped the run abruptly with a booming shot. Trading points, Wade got the side out twice with kills in the middle, and WSU took timeout down 16-19. But the Cougars, playing mostly clean up to that point, made consecutive errors out of the break as UW extended the lead to 21-16. Nelson put away a Nogueras set for 22-17, and Vansant took the Huskies to set point at 24-19 with another slam. The Cougars saved the first two and UW took timeout. After a short rally, Vansant used a deft tip over the block after bringing the heat all night, and it fell for the point to end it, 25-21. The Huskies outhit the Cougars, .297 to .146 in the set, as Cassie Strickland had eight digs and Vansant and Orlandini had five apiece. Vansant also added six more kills on 12 swings.
Washington started strong in set three, with a kill from Strickland and a back row spike from Vansant. Beals aced the Cougars and then Strickland posted a straight up stuff on the weak side for a 5-1 lead and a Cougars timeout. Holt had a couple big kills early to keep WSU close, but Sybeldon tipped for a kill and got another on a WSU net error for a 7-4 lead. Washington State got within one at 7-6 but Vansant put down a Beals set, and then had a solo block and WSU made another net error for 10-6. A WSU error had UW up five and then Strickland helped break it open, rising for a solo rejection of Marcelina Glab, and then after a Vansant dig, Strickland banged the set through the block for a 16-9 lead and WSU had to take time. The Cougars took two back after the break, but the Huskies responded with another 4-0 run to go up 20-11. Muñoz had two kills, one from the left pin and one from the right, and then Strickland lasered an ace off the defense and back into the seats. Two more big right arm swings from Vansant brought UW closer, and then Nogueras floated an ace for a 23-13 lead. Parker checked in late and immediately got a rejection of Jaicee Harris along with Nelson for match point. The Cougars held off one, but then Nogueras ran a back set to Parker who came around on a slide and ripped it off the blocker's hands and out to give the Huskies the 25-14 win. Washington hit .385 in the third set, holding the Cougars down to .067.

There are two flags hanging side by side on a porch on Harrison Street.
And Saturday the two brothers they represent were home from the war and sitting under them.
After months of communicating through letters, Raymond Gibbons and his younger brother, Michael, were able to talk face to face for the first time since they left to fight in separate countries.
Raymond Gibbons, a 1995 graduate of Highland Park High School, is a staff sergeant in the Air Force. He got home Oct. 1 from a support hub in Kyrgyzstan near Afghanistan.
Michael Gibbons, a 1996 graduate, is a Navy corpsman who was serving with Marines in Iraq before getting home Sept. 24.
Though Raymond Gibbons was the first to join the military, his brother thinks he evened up the score by getting assigned the more dangerous duty.
"We've always been competitive," Michael Gibbons said.
"He just had to outdo me," Raymond Gibbons cut in.
"I had to get blown up to prove myself, I guess," Michael Gibbons finished.
The brothers do that a lot - finish each other's sentences, interrupt each another and just talk all at once, raising their voices to be heard over each other. But they say many things between them go unspoken - especially when it involves their concern for one another.
"I know that he does stuff that's dangerous, and he knows I do stuff that's dangerous, but we don't talk about it," Michael Gibbons said. "It's something that we just know."
The casualty rate in Michael Gibbons' unit was 80 percent, and he's had the Humvee he was riding in blown up more than once. Though Raymond Gibbons' duty was hardly the picture of safety, he didn't live in a combat zone and he's never been shot at, but he understood more than the average civilian the danger of his brother's situation, and he couldn't help but worry about him.
"You hear every day that people are killed, but you never hear about the people who get their legs blown off," Raymond Gibbons said. "I know it sounds kind of bad, but I would be like, 'I don't care if he comes back with one leg, as long as he comes back."'
But, he said, that's not the kind of thing you say out loud or put in a letter.
"It's more like, 'Hey, just come home safe,"' he said.
But there are plenty of things they do talk about - some that they could only talk about with each other now that they're home.
"The military lingo," Raymond Gibbons said. "You try and tell other people about stuff and you have to stop and explain. I know exactly what he's talking about."
The brothers are trying to grab what time they can together before Raymond Gibbons goes back to his base in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Monday. Michael Gibbons will return to his base in San Diego. Raymond Gibbons will probably stay in Colorado Springs until his enlistment is up in March, but Michael Gibbons doesn't know whether he'll be going back to Iraq or not. So before the weekend is up, they might be repeating their conversations from last Christmas and saying goodbye.
"You tell each other, 'Keep your head down and come back home alive,"' Raymond Gibbons said. "I'm not trying to get sentimental on you, but it might be the last time we see each other."

Cher brought a taste of Las Vegas to Winnipeg on June 21, performing her AEG Live produced Dressed to Kill spectacular to a sold out crowd spanning three generations at the MTS Centre. The Grammy Award winning singer last performed in The Peg back on April 20, 2005 as part of her Living Proof: The Farewell Tour.
The charismatic 68-year-old entertainer referred to her latest trek as her "farewell, farewell" tour, saying, "There can't be another one, because I'll be dead!." In typical Cher fashion, the comment was accompanied by exaggerated winks and fingers crossed behind back.
The seemingly ageless diva has every reason to hedge her bets. Currently touring behind the highest-charting solo album of her career, 2013's Closer to the Truth, she's since enjoyed a hugely successful long-term residency at The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and a resurgence of public interest following her appearance in 2010's campy "Burlesque."
The Queen of Pop continues to defy conventions, kicking off the show with her 2013 single "Woman's World," poised precariously atop top a 20-foot pillar, looking goddess-like, adorned in elaborate feathered headdress and gown. The eye-popping spectacle put the singer through her paces with a production which includes ten dancers, 11 costume and wig changes, a crack five-piece band, two backing singers, aerial stunts, numerous eye-popping props and scenery changes.
The 18-song setlist highlighted the length and breadth of the multi-award artist's storied career. The opening number was followed by her 1998 hit "Strong Enough," with Cher accompanied by gladiators and the tour's namesake song "Dressed To Kill" with had Cher rising out of the floor to twirl in a chandelier above the stage vamped out in fangs and a see through bodysuit.
Film footage from Cher's career along with extended instrumentals and dance routines accompanied the interludes between the many costumes changes. Those tempted to gripe about the star's long absences from stage during changes fail to realize that at a Cher concert the diva, spectacle and costumes are at least as equally as important as the songs.
Cher then time travelled back into the 60s, donning a mini-skirt and red go-go boots to perform two classic hits from her Sonny and Cher days. In one of the show's most touching moments, her late husband and former singer partner Sonny Bono appeared via LED screen to duet with Cher on their 1967 hit "The Beat Goes On" and their 1965 No. 1 smash "I Got You Babe." The huskiness in Cher's voice was more noticeable in her performances of the early hits, but the singer has retained her range, power and uncanny ability to emote feeling into song.
The dancers, dressed in turn of the century circus costumes, streamed out to perform on the arena floor as Cher segued into her early 70s career, performing a medley of "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" and "Dark Lady." She then donned an orange floor-length feathered headdress to perform her 1973 hit "Half Breed."
A montage of clips from Cher's movie career proceeded the Oscar-winning actresses performances "Welcome to Burlesque" and "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me." Cher made another splashy entrance in giant gilded Trojan Horse clad a la Helen of Troy for her 2013 single "Take It Like a Man" and, in a more intimate moment, Cher took a chair while the dancers exited for her 1989 hit "Just Like Jesse James."
As the band pounded out a metal instrumental into to Sonny and Cher's hit "Bang Bang," the diva changed into her infamous nude black body stocking and leather jacket to perform "I Found Someone" and "If I Could Turn Back Time." The songs were hit singles from her 1989 studio album Heart of Stone.
To wrap up the night, Cher appeared in a neon pink costume and bobbed wig to perform her 1998 monster dance hit "Believe." In a stunt guaranteed to leave the audience more, Cher capped the evening with her latest single "I Hope You Find It," donning a platform suspended by cables, which then circled the arena amid sparkling lights.
Cyndi Lauper did a super job opening with an entertaining hour-long set. Touring behind the 30th anniversary of her breakout 1980 debut album She's So Unusual, the two-time Grammy winner entered the arena surrounded by fans with a glittery boxing robe draped over herself, taking the stage while singing her ode to masturbation "She Bop." The fiery red-head singer rocked the stage with classics like "Money Changes Everything, and mesmerized with ballads like "Time After Time."
Lauper's set also included recent material such as "Sex in the Heel" from her 2005 Tony-winning musical "Kinky Boots" and "Into the Nightlife" from her 2008 studio album Bring Ya to the Brink.
With her hilarious stage banter almost rivalling her high powered performances, Lauper's too short set ended with the one-two punch of her 1980 synth-pop smash "Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun" and a spine tingling cover of the Etta James blues standard "At Last."
The Dressed to Kill Tour will make its next stop on June 21 Saskatoon, SK - Credit Union Centre. For more information, check out Cher.com, CyndiLauper.com or AXS.com.

Isner Gets Lucky Break in Marathon Match
John Isner can't seem to win quickly.
Though Wednesday's match pales in comparison to the record 11-hour, five-minute epic against Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon in 2010, the American still needed four hours and 41 minutes to squeeze out a 4-6, 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(5), 10-8 victory against David Nalbandian.
Isner's competition was stiffer than in other men's matches in the tournament's first week, but fellow top-20 players Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and David Ferrer all recorded straight-set wins Tuesday in less than one hour and 45 minutes. Sixteenth-seed Isner admitted he got lucky on break point at eight games each: His serve was called out by the line umpire but was overruled by chair umpire Kader Nouni.
After checking the mark, Nalbandian challenged the call, but was told his request took too long.
There is no official time limit for players to challenge; it is left to the umpire's discretion.
Nalbandian, who said the call wasn't the only reason for the loss, had harsh words for the umpire. "It's ridiculous playing this kind of tournament with these kind of umpires… Can you be that stupid to do that in that moment?" asked the Argentine, currently the world's 87th-ranked player.
Nalbandian added that there was "absolutely no doubt" that the Frenchman wasn't qualified to umpire at Grand Slam level. Upon being told Nouni was a regular WTA Tour umpire, the 30-year-old joked that women serve much slower.
Isner and compatriot Andy Roddick are tied for the tournament's fastest serve at 139 miles per hour, while the fastest women's serve belongs to Serena Williams, at 116 miles per hour.
Twenty-six-year-old Isner, who exited the 2011 Australian Open after losing the fifth set 9-7 to Marin Cilic, acknowledged that his near-unbreakable service games, helped by 43 aces, kept him in the Nalbandian match.
But he didn't have much in the way of secrets to slogging through his now trademark marathon appearances. "I knew what I was up against, just had to try to get a break of serve so if it took the whatever the number may be, I was going to go out there and give it my all," said the American, who celebrated his victory by replicating Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's "Superman" gesture.
Isner meets 18th seed Feliciano Lopez in the third round, having won their only previous encounter on the hardcourts of Paris in straight sets.
Fellow American Sam Querrey fell to Australia's Bernard Tomic, 3-6 6-3 7-6(3) 6-3. The 19-year-old next plays 13th seed Alexandr Dolgopolov, who needed five sets to defeat German Tobias Kamke 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 3-6, 8-6.
The Ukrainian enters their third round match on Friday with a 3-0 win-loss record against Tomic.

A judge sided with Marlise Munoz's family, ordering a Texas hospital to end care for the woman found unconscious in November.
19:40, UK, Sunday 26 January 2014
A Texas hospital has removed life support from a brain-dead, pregnant woman, ending a months-long legal battle with her family.
Officials from John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth were ordered by a judge to end care for Marlise Munoz by 5pm on Monday.
Lawyers representing her husband, Erick Munoz, said his wife was disconnected from life support at 11.30am on Sunday.
Mrs Munoz was 14 weeks pregnant when her husband found her unconscious on November 26, possibly due to a blood clot.
Both doctors and family agreed that Mrs Munoz met the criteria to be considered brain-dead, but the hospital continued to treat her over the objections of her husband and parents.
Hospital officials cited the Texas Advance Directives Act, which prohibits withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from a pregnant patient.
A judge, however, ruled in favour of Mrs Munoz's family on Friday, saying the hospital was misapplying the law because the patient was legally dead.
Her case raised questions about end-of-life care and whether a pregnant woman who is considered legally and medically dead should be kept on life support for the sake of a foetus.
The case also garnered attention on both sides of the abortion debate, with anti-abortion groups arguing Mrs Munoz's foetus deserved a chance to be born.
Mr Munoz argued his wife would not have wanted to be kept in her condition, and his attorneys said medical records show the foetus was "distinctly abnormal".

Discovering Langa – a photo essay
Langa, South Africa's oldest township, was established in 1923 as part of the then Urban Areas Act. Similar to Nyanga, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha, Langa is one of the areas in South Africa that was designated for black Africans before the apartheid epoch. The name Langa means "sun" in Xhosa, but the name of the area is actually derived from the name Langalibalele – a famous chief who was imprisoned on Robben Island for rebelling against the government.
World AIDS Day in Cape Town
Since 1988, World AIDS Day has been about raising money for, heightening awareness of, combating prejudice through and improving education around AIDS-related efforts. In 2010, Cape Town will be part of global efforts to raise awareness around HIV/AIDS, as part of both the (RED) and the Lights for Rights campaigns, by illuminating Table Mountain with red lights from 19h00 until midnight tonight. The (RED) campaign raises money for the Global Fund, the biggest pot of money dedicated to overcoming AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, by co-branding products and releasing them in limited (RED) editions, donating up to 50% of the proceeds. One of the components of this campaign involves turning iconic landmarks around the world red. The initiative dovetails well with the Lights for Rights campaign, which places emphasis on "shining a light on human rights" in relation to HIV and AIDS, drawing global attention to the rights of those infected and affected by HIV.

Tonight is my last night with natural breasts. It's also my last night with the cancerous tumor that invaded my left breast. My emotions rock from relief that something is finally being done to combat this deadly disease to deep grief to be losing a part of my body that has meant so much to me.
My breasts aren't the sexiest in the world, but our standards for "sexy" when it comes to breasts are so absurd that it's the rare woman who can meet them without surgery. Still, I've always been happy with them from their shape to the fact that they're small enough that I've always been able to go braless to the pale pink color of my nipples.
My breasts have given me so much sexual pleasure. I've gotten emails from readers asking why there is so much "nipple action" in my books. Some women don't have sensitive nipples. Being licked and nipped and sucked does nothing for them. It has always made me melt. But after tomorrow morning, that avenue for sexual pleasure will be gone. Permanently.
Yes, there are procedures whereby doctors can spare nipples during mastectomy, but it largely depends on the shape of a woman's breast and how close the cancer is to her nipple. And even if a woman is a good candidate for nipple-sparing surgery, she will still lose sensation in her nipples, as all the tissue beneath them, including nerve tissue, is stripped away and checked for malignancy. Also, there are no long-term statistics about the case of recurrence in women who've kept their nipples, and some surgeons refuse to do the surgery on those grounds. I will lose my nipples tomorrow morning.
My breasts went bare in Europe on beaches and public parks in Denmark and elsewhere. The feeling of sun on my bare skin was wonderful and so liberating. We have such a bizarre attitude about nudity, particularly breasts, in the US. But I was able to enjoy being young and beautiful in the sunshine without wearing a bikini top or shirt. That rocked.
My breasts also fed my children. Nursing babies is the purest, most beautiful expression of love I've ever known. It gave me time each day just to hold and cuddle my babies, time to relax and have eye contact, to smile and babble and coo together. I wouldn't trade those memories to save my life.
I breastfed both of my sons for a longer period of time than most women. My older son was breastfed for 15 months, my younger son for about a year until hospitalization for an ovarian cyst led him to wean himself. I was heartbroken to have that connection severed so soon.
Breastfeeding is without a doubt the most natural way to nourish a child. I never had to bring bottles or formula. My kids never tasted the chemical concoction that is formula. They had my milk every day from birth until they were weaned. This has made me a big supporter of breastfeeding, a "lactivist" if you will. Breastfeeding should be encouraged, facilitated, and supported.
The breasts I fed my children with will be gone tomorrow.
I am in mourning for this. I think I've been in mourning since April 21, the day the radiologist walked in and said, "It looks like we have an early breast cancer." He might as well have struck me in the head with a sledgehammer.
People say, "A woman is more than her breasts." I know this, of course, and don't need to be reminded. My breasts didn't run the newsroom at the papers where I was editor. They never wrote a story or edited copy or did a single interview. They didn't do homework with my kids or clean the house or plant rose bushes. They didn't push for the bill that ended the shackling of pregnant inmates here in Colorado.
But my breasts are mine. They are a natural part of my body, a part of my sexuality, a part of what has always made me feel feminine and womanly. And I'm going to lose them forever. For months, I'm going to walk around with slashes on my chest where they used to be, long scars over skin that has been stretch flat and stripped of all underlying tissue.
There is no way to feel good about this loss, no way to gloss over what losing my breasts means to me. I am mourning for my mammaries. I am heartbroken, and I am angry. I hate this.
I know that one day they'll be replaced with reconstructed breasts, either silicon implants or tissue from an abdominal flap (which also means a tummy tuck). But those breasts will be designed only to fill out a shirt and give me a normal appearance. They won't feel anything. They won't be capable of feeding a child. They won't feel like mine.
They won't have cancer either, and, yes, I know that. I've waited an unbearable and unforgivable 45 days for surgery. I've had to worry every one of those days whether the cancer has spread. I won't know until the final pathology report is back whether this awful disease has sneaked its way into my lymph nodes. Those are questions that touch on my survival, my very presence on this earth.
I want to live. I want to make more memories with my grown sons. I want to enjoy lovers. I want to visit Paris and Denmark and Spain again — not to mention many other places. And that means my breasts need to go. Although the tumor is only in my left breast, I have chose to sacrifice both because women who've had breast cancer have a higher chance of getting it in the other breast than those who haven't. I never want to go through this again.
My sister and I went into the back yard tonight. While I wore a sarong, she took some practice shots. Then I dropped the sarong, and we took photos of my bare breasts, trying to give me a way to remember them and all the life lived with them. I have a six-foot privacy fence, but I couldn't have cared less whether anyone saw us. (I almost included the photos. I'm not shy, but some of you might be.)
I plan to do all I can to beat this terrible, brutal, violent disease, this sickness that steals so much from women. But I can't deny the reality of my emotions.
In so many ways, life as I knew it ended on April 21, and I am just dragging along in pieces. It's not just the loss of my breasts, but everything that will come with this — chemo, the loss of my hair, and ultimately the risk to my life.
I'm not sure I want this new life, but it is my reality now.
The fight begins tomorrow.
I want to thank those of you who've sent cards, gifts, and emails, sharing your support. Your warm thoughts and prayers have sustained me through this terrible time. My mother and sister have been my heroes, enduring my mood swings, my wild raging emotions. My brothers, too, have been there for me in their own way, which is to say they've made me laugh a lot when I thought I no longer could laugh.
But a special heartfelt thanks goes to all of you who donated to the Good Food Fund that author and friend Thea Harrison set up. Almost $7,000 was raised to provide me with organic, homemade meals that will be delivered to my door during my recovery from surgery and during chemotherapy. There is no way I can send cards or emails to all of those who contributed, but please know that I read your messages. When I heard how much it had raised, I burst into tears.
Deep, profound thanks to those of you who donated to the Medical Expenses Fund. The idea came from author and friend Courtney Milan, who helped spread the word about the Good Food Fund, too. Right now, I believe that fund has raised $3,800, every penny of which will go to my cancer treatments. Although the food account is on hold now, anyone who still wants to contribute can send a donation to the Medical Expenses Fund directly via PayPal via this email address.
You all are helping to save my life. Thank you for making me feel loved in the midst of this nightmare.
One last word before I get ready for tomorrow's surgery. Please don't skip a mammogram. And if you find a lump or a thickening in your breast between mammograms, get it checked and push for another mammogram.
This lump wasn't found by my doctor. I felt a thickening, asked her to check it, and she said it was normal fibro-cystic changes. Months later, it shows up as cancer on a routine mammogram. If I had skipped this mammogram, I would be fighting for my very life.
Thanks again for your support, good wishes, and prayers.

How Aztec secret works Indian healing clay clays have been used for centuries to beautify and refresh when used as a facial mask. Cleopatra used clay from the Nile River and the Arabian Desert over 1800 years ago, as part of her beauty ritual. German and roman spas have been using clay packs and treatments in the spas they built 4,000 years ago. Many of these spas still exist and use clay even today. Pliney the elder devoted an entire chapter of his natural history" to the many uses of clay for pimples, black heads and skin tightening. Many famous naturopaths, such as kuhn, just and kneipp have contributed to the revival of the uses of clay through their natural treatments for arthritus and skin ailments. Aztec Indian healing clay a brief history – the world's most powerful facial the use of clay with apple cider vinegar can be dated back to the southern French priest of the16th century, kneipp, and his natural treatments using clay packs and poultices. Throughout history the use of clay, specifically green clay or bentonite, is well documented. To learn more about clay, look for "our earth our cure" by Raymond Dexteit, translated by Michel Abehsera in your local health food store or book store. Aztec secret Indian healing clay is bentonite clay from Death Valley, California, where it is sun- dried for up to six months in temperatures that sometimes reach 134 degrees.

Luginbill favors UM's new recruiting approach
This blog post is dedicated to L.Coke. Strive to be the best poster …
The UM coaches have been pretty clear about their recruiting intentions.
Gone are the days of strictly going after the so-called four- and five-star recruits. Coach Randy Shannon wants the best football players out there, regardless of what some Internet recruiting website says. The Hurricanes aren't necessarily going after the players who have the best 40 times or bench press, but those who produce on the field.
ESPN recruiting analyst Tom Luginbill said he's in full support of Shannon's decision.
"In my opinion, you've got to stay true to your own evaluation, your own blueprint," Luginbill said. "Don't worry about what everybody else is saying, but that's a very difficult thing to do."
With so many recruiting and scouting services nowadays, it's very easy for coaches to fall victim of the hype. In past interviews, Shannon said UM may have focused too much on the "star system." And the Hurricanes have been burned by it, which has been part to blame for this recent downfall.
"What happens is there is much information out there about guys," Luginbill said. "Most of it can be untrue. A lot of it is perpetuated by people who are claiming to be recruiting analysts, but don't know if a football is pumped or stuffed …I think there's a fine line between what's a so-called four-star and
five-star recruit by today's standard. Remember this
is a projection. You're saying something about a guy who is 17 about
what he is going to be at 21."
The Hurricanes continue to reel in top talent, but are learning to get a good mix. If you look at the current class, there aren't any of the so-called big-time recruits … yet. According to the Orlando Sentinel's Top 100 in state, UM's best recruit was only ranked No. 29. Of course, that will likely change in the coming months. Still, it's obvious the Hurricanes are focusing more on their own evaluating.
Luginbill likes to use the example of sophomore linebacker Sean Spence. He was overlooked because of his size, but a player UM recruited heavily because of his talent. Spence is now arguably one of the nation's top young linebackers.
"It's a fine line," Luginbill said. "You've got to be careful. You can't walk away from too many (five-star recruits). It's just a very delicate line."
ESPN is expected to release its national Top 150 in August. Despite the change in approach, Luginbill expects the `Canes to be well represented on the list. Look for at least four of the seven verbal commitments to appear in the rankings. That's not bad considering the pool consists of at least 2,000 players across the country.
