Hana Maui alone offers a transcendental escape from reality with its verdant beauty and Aloha spirit. Add to that a celestial body treatment at the Spa at Travassa and it's pure nirvana. Called the Cocomint Signature Body Treatment and Massage the sensual session combines Hana-grown cacao with coconut and mint for a heady experience.
"This new treatment is inspired by the natural beauty and serenity of Hana," said Maggie Wagner, Travaasa's senior director of spa and retail. "We're thrilled to offer spa guests an experience that is unique to Hana and incorporates ingredients from a local farm. Hana has long been known for its healing powers, and we're honored to keep this tradition moving forward."
The session starts with a gentle, exfoliating body scrub with locally grown Hana cacao that helps to resurface and moisturize the skin. Next, a hydrating cocoa butter body wrap softens skin and relaxes the body and mind. After a soothing shower, the journey culminates with a coconut mint oil massage, accompanied by a warm coconut and Shea butter compress.
Overlooking Hana Bay and historic Kauiki Hill on the tranquil eastern coastline of Maui, The Spa at Travaasa Hana is a one-of-a-kind indoor and outdoor wellness center comprising of a lava rock whirlpool, relaxation room, private garden area, steam room, and cold plunge pool. The spa is also equipped with Nine Hawaiian-style treatment rooms where able-bodied therapists perform magical therapies that infuse therapeutic Native Hawaiian treatments with exercise as part of a holistic approach to relaxation and wellness. Massages, body treatments, facials, and energy balancing using the organic skin care line Amala, along with fitness offerings focusing on balance, posture, core strength, and flexibility, are offered.

Map Creating
I am attempting to edit a map to my clans liking. We found another clan's map who are breaking up and said we could have it. However it is filled with logos and such things that we want to make our own. I can edit the easy stuff like textures and crap but is there a way I can open the map in some kind of editor and move some things around? thanks for your help.
i tried but the map is in bsp format and jk2 radiant only does .map files.
I decompiled my bsp file into a map file. I edited it in JK2Radiant. How do I now recompile it into a bsp file?
ok reconnect. I am missing a few shader files. I am editing twilight.bsp map and need the extra shaders.

text: The Marriott CasaMagna was the place to be October 8 and 9 when this renowned band, now celebrating its fortieth anniversary, sparked lots of great memories during two concerts, an acoustic performance enjoyed with a great dinner indoors on Saturday night and a no-holds-barred rock concert Sunday that had young and old boogeying on the grass and even on the stage - a surprising number of them in that hippy fashion standby, tie-dye. Playing from the rich songbook of its legendary forefather, Jefferson Airplane, two original band members, songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Paul Kantner and vocalist/guitarist Marty Balin gave it their all and singer Diana Mangano certainly held her own when compared to the band's former female singer, Grace Slick. The set lasted well over two hours and included hits "White Rabbit," "Miracles," "Count on Me," "Jane, "Plastic Fantastic Lover" and many more golden oldies, folks flying in from as far away as Detroit just to groove for the weekend and enjoy the fabulous five-star Marriott resort on the beach. Concert promoter Benny Cukier says he plans to bring big-name concerts to Vallarta twice a year, the next one in April or May, the group not yet confirmed. 10/11/05

Charlie Parker: Blues for Alice
Blues for Alice
Charlie Parker (alto sax)
Bird: The Complete Charlie Parker On Verve Vol. 6 (Verve 837149-2)
Charlie Parker (alto sax), Red Rodney (trumpet), John Lewis (piano), Ray Brown (bass), Kenny Clarke (drums).
Composed by Charlie Parker.
Recorded: New York, August 8, 1951
Rating: 99/100 (learn more)
"Blues for Alice" is a classic old-school jazz jam that showcases Charlie Parker's innovative sax style within a context that he singlehandedly pioneered. He blows his heart out for you, reveling in some imaginative musical statements along the way, and is followed ably by his collaborators. The track is upbeat and swingin', as the immediately identifiable tenor Parker sound cuts through the mix and squawks out of the box with force.
The sound of the cut is stereotypical of the limitations engineers encountered while recording bands long ago, but the rough edges and slightly imbalanced presentation (Parker is obviously standing closer to his microphone than the others are standing in relation to theirs) do not stop the music from gliding atop the sounds of tonal elation. The chord changes are atypical of what is commonly known as "blues," in that the form is extended beyond the genre's regularly expected form. Also, the tone of the recording is much more positive than is normal for such a genre as "blues." However, transforming the aural character of pre-established musical forms into something uncharacteristically offbeat was one of the things that Parker did best, and, here, no exceptions to the rule are made.

Once again there is evidence to show the Tea Party movement incorporates a religious element. This time the venue was not a rally or protest but a religious news channel. David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network News interviewed Senator Jim DeMint, one of the Tea Party favorites. When asked if he was concerned socially conservative issues were, "taking a somewhat of a back seat right now at least to the fiscal issues that there are some inherent problems for social conservatives in something like that?" DeMint was adamant that the Tea Party incorporates a religious element:
No actually just the opposite, because I really think a lot of the motivation behind these Tea Party crowds is a spiritual component. I think it's very akin to the Great Awakening before the American Revolution. A lot of our founders believed the American Revolution was won before we ever got into a fight with the British. It was a spiritual renewal. I'm 'praying for you" comes up more than anything else in these crowds, so I know there's a spiritual component out there. I think as this thing (the Tea Party movement) continues to roll you're going to see a parallel spiritual revival that goes along with it.
As Brody and DeMint continued the interview, it was clear that DeMint was referring to his own Evangelical Christian spirituality. Brody asked DeMint, "Just so I understand, when you say spiritual revival how are you terming that? What do you mean specifically as in "spiritual revival?" DeMint's reply not only alluded to the Tea Party's concerns about socialism and their nationalist rhetoric, he was overt about his belief in a Biblically based Christian ideology:
Well, I think people are seeing this massive government growing and they're realizing that it's the government that's hurting us and I think they're turning back to God in effect is our salvation and government is not our salvation and in fact more and more people see government as the problem, and so I think some have been drawn in over the years to a dependency relationship with government, and as the Bible says you can't have two masters, and I think as people pull back from that they look more to God. It's no coincidence that socialist Europe is post-Christian because the bigger the government gets the smaller God gets and vice-versa. The bigger God gets the smaller people want their government because they're yearning for freedom.(1)

MF Global Report: By The Numbers
By David Benoit
Thursday the world was treated to another long report detailing the collapse of MF Global in October 2011.
This report was written the famed investigator Louis Freeh, working as the trustee for MF Global Holdings, the parent company of the more-well-known brokerage firm MF Global Inc. Freeh laid the blame at the feet of MF Global's management, particularly Chairman and CEO Jon Corzine, whose trading in European debt felled the firm during the European debt crisis.
Here's the 174-page report broken down by the numbers.

The recent Phase IIb trial failure of Italian company BioXell's lead overactive bladder (OAB) candidate, Elocalcitol, has led the company to confirm plans to cut its workforce by a third and terminate development of Elocalcitol in both OAB and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The company's shares, listed on the on the main segment of the SWX Swiss Exchange since 2006, have not fared well, and the company is reportedly now valued at just over CHF 14.5 million, less than one-quarter of the CHF6 6 million it held in cash on Dec. 31, 2008.
BioXell had previously announced the decision to suspend a Phase II trial of the vitamin D3 (VD3) analogue, Elocalcitol, in male infertility. The company also put on hold the start of a Phase I trial to test another VD3 analogue, BXL746, for the prevention of postsurgical adhesions.
The company now says all research relating to its VD3 and anti-inflammatory TREM (triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells) projects are being shelved. Instead, the company will focus on development of the preclinical-stage mAb, BXL1H5, in chronic pain. Clinical development of BXL1H5 is expected to start during the first half of 2011.
BXL1H5 is a fully humanized antibody against TrkA, the high-affinity receptor for nerve growth factor, which BioXell says appears to function as a master control system in the spread of inflammation and pain. BioXell licensed the compound from another Italian company, Lay Line Genomics, in 2006.

This thoughtful drama from writer/director Paul Haggis explores deeply interesting issues and is beautiful to behold, but remote beyond the point of its story. It'll either crash and burn or hit 4-5 stars on the second viewing, which I will definitely give it along the way.
I don't like feeling I've just watched a character study; I want to have experienced it. But with "Third Person", I don't know whether this is because Haggis overworked the isolation of his characters and left it cold, or because there was so much going on I was too busy thinking about its concepts to have time to dive in and feel for its characters.
In the tradition of his Oscar-winning "Crash", Haggis brings us three interlocking stories spanning the globe, centering on Michael, a Pulitzer-winning novelist having lost his former glory; on Scott, a jaded American on business in Italy; and on Julia, a woman struggling to regain custody of her young son after an incident that endangered him.
Each face questions of regret, of the possibility of a future without hope in the face of irrevocable loss, and strains toward a tenuous promise of redemption in the form of an opportunity that could just as easily be a mirage, the brass ring that will bring either a fresh start or their final undoing as they fall and become crushed under the spinning carousel.
The film itself is lovely to look at: colorful and intimate, filled with beauty and excellent performance. It also sparks several interesting inquires as we watch our characters struggle to reach that ring.
How much of life's consequence is the result of choice? Perhaps far, far more than we would care to acknowledge. But in certain circumstances, what actually constitutes choice?
And when choice and trust meet, where does the responsibility for outcome fall? If one trusts, and the outcome harms, is the harm one's own responsibility for having made the choice to trust, or is it the other's responsibility for having proven untrustworthy? Where does responsibility lie, where does it become one's own? And where does it turn into fault? Become blameworthy?
If we have to take responsibility for every outcome simply because it involved choice on our part, how can we truly operate in relationship? But if we don't accept responsibility for our choice, we become a leaf in the breeze, subject to the choices and trust betrayals of others. At what point does the responsibility shift?
It's an interesting continuum, and kept me happily busy throughout, which I desperately needed given that I was largely underwhelmed by the manner in which Haggis was navigating these stories. As with "Crash", I deeply appreciated the conversations he was having, but felt absolutely no emotional connection to the way in which he was having them; it was as though the characters were a device by which he made points he wanted to make, instead of people who prompted us to engage those points, perhaps for the first time.
Is "Third Person" scrumptiously multifaceted, or does it collapse under the weight of its own importance? I'll definitely give it a second look to find out.
Story: Interlocking love stories across three countries involving individuals strained and estranged by loss and struggling to find their way back.

Okay, guys, while this movie actually has nothing to do with chocolate, Prachya Pinkaew's Chocolate is one seriously kick-ass martial arts film that has been making waves. An autistic girl (yes, the main character is an austistic martial arts female master) fights street gangs with her extraordinary innate martial skills. She chops her way through battle after battle and keeps us rooting for her the whole way through. Finally, Jackie Chan can give it a rest.
what about Chocolat the movie? its totally about chocolate!
this movie is truly a must-see! the lead actress did all of her stunts herself ;)
I love this movie. Its amazing!!!

Deathshead, the sadistic antagonist in developer MachineGames' upcoming installment in the Wolfenstein franchise, The New Order, may be one of gamings most badass villains. In an interview with Examiner, Jens Matthies, creative director at the aforesaid studio briefly discusses the combined elements that make this antihero so terrifying.
"[Deathshead] is a man who has cheated death and ended up on the winning side of history," Matthies said. "This joy of living permeates the character and is propelled by an outstanding performance by actor Dwight Schultz. The juxtaposition of his upbeat, somewhat lascivious demeanor and the horror of his actions contribute to a most fearsome cocktail."
In our hands-on demo with the game, there was a moment where Deathshead captures you and your allies and forces you to pick one companion for him to kill... just to give you a bit of an idea of what this man is like.
Wolfenstein: The New Order arrives on May 20 in North America and May 23 in Europe for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

Amazing work with this theme!
I'm having trouble with the column short code. I am trying to do one-third/two-third and grabbed this code from the live demo.
It is not working. Thanks for your help!
When you create a shortcode to page content. Did you add it using "HTML" mode of Visual Editor?
I tried adding it under both the "visual" tab text box and the "Text" tab text box. Neither worked to create side-by-side columns. Thanks again for your help.
I installed the latest version available … if I drag the image open the search bar you can save it. system this thing because the pictures can be downloaded by all!!!!!!

Hi there,
Is it possible to embed a social media plug-in onto the theme? I would like to have the possibility to 'like' and 'share' pictures and a video portfolio shown on our site directly on Facebook. The pictures I'm talking about are shown in a slideshow.
Thanks in advance and kind regards
Sorry, it needs a custom modification. This type of customization is a bit more complex and is not covered under normal theme support.
If you're interested in hiring a developer for building out this custom page template for you, we highly recommend to check out: Tweaky
But I will add it into the future if there are many requests from customers
This theme looks great on computers but it looks terrible on cell phones and tablets. Can you help me optimize it for all screens??? I am a professional photographer looking to launch ASAP and it's imperative that my images look good on all devices.
Thank you so much!
Hello Peerapong please respond to my comment.
Sorry, I am not sure I understand you correctly, could you send me some screenshots with description please?
Peerapong: I sent you screenshots via email. Please look for my email from Snowdrop Studios. Thank you.
The theme already has support for mobile devices ?
Yes with the latest version of theme it support responsive layout.
What I step below to update the theme
Download from Themeforest > your account > downloads and replace all theme's files and folders using FTP account with the new version.
All of your settings and contents remain the same.
How do i get the music to work? I've uploaded all 3 file formats. they are fairly small, with 207 KB being the largest file. I'm down to about 10secs of music.
Please advise.
Did you mean your music can be played 10 secs?
is it possible to disable a pages title from showing?
Open /css/screen.css find "#page_caption" add display:none;
You are welcome
Btw, Could you help me rate for the theme please?
consider it done!
Thank you very much.
Hey there, I went on my site today and noticed that the navigation arrows have disappeared (the little triangles that allows you to navigate through pics once you've highlighted a pic). Is there a way to bring them back. I've tried everything I could think of but no luck.
It seems like one of the plugins may have been interfering. Once I deactivated them all the navigation arrows came back. I just need to figure out which plugin is causing the problem.
ok – so the music is working, but on the Blog page? And the blog page is pulling in attributes that should go to the home page though the home page is set to another page in settings > reading.
pls advise.
Every time I try to make any page a blog post page by going to settings > reading, it changes that into a homepage with a giant slideshow instead of any of the posts showing up???
When you create a blog page. Select page template as "Blog".
Theme documentation's located in your downloaded file from Themeforest
Please follow the theme's instructions in /manual/index.html it will help you get through all theme features.
Hi! I would like to know if a child theme of Core works fine with just creating a style.css, or do i need some special code in functions.php? I had some problems performing customization within the child theme.
And a small suggestion (as i saw this once in another theme): Why not directly adding a child theme to the download section? This makes life really easier…
Thank you for your suggestions.
I will add child theme support in the future release.
Hey! I can't upload pictures anymore. I get just following message:
""P81A0467.jpg" couldn't be uploaded due to a mistake." A temporary folder is missing."
What shall I do??
Did you create a folder /wp-content/uploads and make it writable?
Yes. I can upload 5 pictures, after I get the message above. Besides that I am unable to create a backup with nearly the same reason. Unable to create a folder.
Hello all,
I bought Core theme earlier this year but hit a few issues and had no choice but to return it, but am hoping there are fixes or solutions for these items as we'll totally buy it again if so…
I'm wondering: 1) Is anyone else experiencing these issues and 2) if there's someone we could pay to address them and add a few small functions we need?
1) Secure Coverflow Galleries MUST have the page refreshed AFTER entering the password correctly or cover flow images won't load.
2) Coverflow galleries seem to have trouble with very large galleries (greater than a few hundred images)
3) We would like some social links in the Coverflow galleries like (Facebook Like, Pinterest like, "Add to Cart" ecom option [I know this depends on the cart system]) and possibly some other "sharing" options.
Any input from other users or Author is much appreciated…
Thank you!
Please login with your purchased account
As I stated in my post, I am no longer a "purchased account". Some acknowledgment of the issues we had (and still exist with this theme from when it was installed although it is not in use) and an idea of whether we can or can't expect help with it, and some customization will determine if we purchase it again.
Thank you for any input you can provide on the 3 questions above.
To be clear, the reason we returned it in the first place was because you would't or couldn't address our 2 issues (the secure gallery bug above – present in ALL versions of current Safari & Firefox) and trouble with galleries over a few hundred images.
Hope this helps…thanks again.
We'd love to buy this theme again…any help?
Voici le message d'erreur que je reçois quand j'essaie d'installer le thème : Installation du thème à partir du fichier : themeforest-240185-core-minimalist-photography-portfolio (1).zip Décompression de l'archive de l'extension…

Hello, Do you plan to fix the sorting gallerie by date/name bug ? ( as mentionned by several users the drag&drop workaround is not enough when there is more than 100 pictures) . Even if you have some "unofficial" patch , because you dont want to impact the official release because of risk of regression, I'm very interested. Regards
Hello, I have problems with galleries that contain many pictures e.g. 500 Pictures. I hope that there is a way to fix that problem, because without that the theme is useless for me.
Hi peerapong
I have an issue with protected galery. Password are not reconized. Just take a look at this one : http://www.matthieufabert.com/?gallery=protected-test
Password is "test"
What does go wrong ?
Did you enter correct password?
How do you order the images on the home page gallery?
Also, is there a way to add text or a description to the image other than adding it directly onto the image? The gallery editor has an area for a caption and description but neither are showing up.
1. You can drag&drop to order images using gallery admin.
2. You can add image title using gallery admin.
I use the Theme Core 5.1 My question Is it possible to center the captions in the gallery?
Sorry, I am not sure I understand you correctly, could you send me some screenshots with description please?
In Internet Explorer, the captions are not displayed centered, look at this one: http://www.mineralphoto.de/Images/Image-Caption.jpg
In firefox, however, they are centered.
Is it possiible in IE to center the captions?
Also did you edit theme code?
With Wordpress 3.6 it's possible to use command [video]. Problem is that video embed's max width is 640px, but your div element's (sidebar_content full_width) width is 960px. So I get smaller size video and it's not centered. Please add fix.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Smith, Jabbo (Cladys)
At his best, trumpeter Cladys "Jabbo" Smith's power and virtuosity made him the only true rival to Louis Armstrong in the late 1920s. Where Satchmo was elegant, Jabbo was bright and penetrating, and his attack aggressive. He was an extremely risky and often reckless player, attempting runs and notes no other instrumentalist could even fathom at the time. This explosiveness and chance-taking led to some inconsistency, but his successes are so sensational that the blunders are easily forgiven.
Smith was born in Pembroke, Georgia on December 24, 1908. At age four, his father passed away and he and his mother moved to Savannah. At six, he was placed in the Jenkins Orphanage Home by his mother, when the duties of motherhood became too difficult for her to handle alone. However, she did find a job at the Home in order to remain close to her son.
The Jenkins Home was known for its exceptional music program, and many of its alumni went on to become jazz stars including Ellington trumpeter Cat Anderson and Basie guitarist Freddie Green. By the age of eight, Smith had settled on the trumpet, after starting on trombone, and was taught by Alonzo Mills. By age ten, he was touring the country with the Orphanage's brass band.
After many repeated attempts at running away from the Jenkins Home, he finally left for good in 1925 at the age of sixteen to pursue a professional career in music. He promised his mother he would never work for less than $100 a week, a lofty goal at the time and one that came to impede his career down the road.
Heading north, Smith's first gig was with the Harry Marsh Band in Philadelphia, followed by three years in Harlem-based Charlie Johnson's Paradise Ten, which also featured altoist Benny Carter. Smith can be heard in impressive form on his solo on Johnson's "You Ain't the One."
In 1927, Smith missed out on what could have been his big break. Duke Ellington asked the eighteen-year-old trumpeter to replace his star soloist, Bubber Miley, at a recording session for Okeh Records on November 3rd. Smith recorded three tracks with Ellington, "What Can a Poor Fellow Do?," "Chicago Stomp Down," and "Black and Tan Fantasy." which had been a feature for Miley.
On this track, Smith displays deftness with a mute, a penchant for bluesy bent notes, and early use of alternate fingerings. Armstrong's influence is clear; Smith alternates vibrato-filled sustained notes with an operatic elasticity of rhythm.
While not as memorable or as confident as Miley's comical growls, Smith certainly showed the potential of a burgeoning star at his ripe, young age. Ellington was impressed enough to offer him a steady job in the trumpet section for $65 a week. Smith kept his promise to his mother, however, and ultimately turned down what would have been the opportunity of a lifetime and one that would have most certainly made him a bigger star.
His career kept temporarily moving forward, however. In 1928, Smith joined the pit orchestra for the Broadway show "Keep Shufflin.'" The show's band featured Smith alongside Fats Waller on organ, James P. Johnson on piano, and altoist Garvin Bushnell—recorded four sides for Victor on 27 March 1928 under the name the Louisiana Sugar Babies.
Smith was at the top of his game in 1929, when "Keep Shuflin'" abruptly halted in Chicago. Here, he made his most enduring and virtuosic recordings, with a group he formed there and named the Rhythm Aces. The band recorded nineteen sides for the Brunswick Record Company, including "Jazz Battle," one of Smith's most thrilling recordings.
On this track, he displays his exceptional range and facility on the cornet through blistering double-timed passages as well as advanced use of chromatics and "tricks" such as alternate fingerings. No other trumpeter could create such raucous fire or a tone with as much bite as Smith's - it doesn't get much hotter than this. His marginal success as a scat singer is also documented on his sides with the Rhythm Aces.
Brunswick was hoping that fans of Armstrong's Hot Fives and Sevens would take a similar liking to Smith and his Rhythm Aces. Unfortunately, there was little public response and Smith never received the attention they had anticipated. One significant fan, however, was a young trumpeter named Roy Eldridge, who was greatly influenced by Smith's breakneck, daredevil techniques. Eldridge adapted Smith's chance-taking style and became the trumpet champion of the swing era. Considering Eldridge's influence on the father of modern jazz trumpet, Dizzy Gillespie, Smith is a crucial although often overlooked link in the lineage of jazz trumpeters.
Smith performed with many bands in the 1930s, including Carroll Dickerson, Earl Hines, Erskine Tate, Charlie Elgar, Tiny Parham, Fess Williams, and Claude Hopkins. Due to his excessive alcohol consumption and increasing unreliability, he gradually withdrew from performance as the decade went on. In 1938, he led an eight-piece orchestra of his own into the studio for Decca, recording four sides. His playing on "More Rain, More Rest" is much more laid back than his Rhythm Aces sides, and his tone is more controlled and rounded.
Smith married and moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1940, playing locally but making a living working at a car rental agency. Over the next three decades, he was all but forgotten, until saxophonist Dave Sletten tracked him down in 1974, and asked him to perform with his traditional jazz group, the Wolverines Classic Jass Orchestra. This exposure led to a rediscovery of Smith's talents, and in 1979 he was featured in the Broadway musical "One Mo' Time," playing and singing his own new compositions. Soon after, he returned to performing, touring Europe, appearing at jazz festivals and playing in New York City at the West End Café, the Bottom Line, and the Village Vanguard with the Mel Lewis Orchestra.
In 1983, two albums were released consisting of tunes Smith recorded at rehearsals in 1961. He suffered a stroke in May 1990, rendering him incapable of playing. On 16 January 1991, at the age of 82, Jabbo Smith died at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan.

Blosser '13 Continues Soccer Career in Sweden
Caitlin Blosser, a mainstay in the midfield during her time at Princeton, hasn't stopped playing soccer just because her collegiate career ended last fall.
Blosser, a history major and a second-generation Princetonian after father Rick Blosser '86, a football alumnus, since July has made her home about halfway between Sweden's northern and southern extremes, some 350 miles north of the capital Stockholm. Her team, Krokom/Dvarsatt, is named for two neighboring towns with a combined population of about 3,000.
Indeed, it's a world away from the business of her previous home on the Princeton campus and certainly of her native Los Angeles. But from the looks of the photos and videos of Blosser in Swedish publications (here and here), it's been an enjoyable few months of soccer.
Krokom/Dvarsatt heads into its next match Sunday with a record of 10-9-2 and 32 points, good for fifth in the 12-team Northern section of Division 1, the second tier of Swedish women's soccer. The top team from the section earns promotion to the first-tier league.
Though Blosser has only been playing with the team since July and the 22-game slate, which began in April, will wrap with Sunday's game, her 11 goals are good for 11th place in the league as of Oct. 1.
How did a young woman from Los Angeles by way of Princeton find her way to central Sweden?
"Going into senior year, I knew that I wanted to continue playing after college, so I was excited about the opportunity from the beginning," Blosser said. "I expressed my interest to a couple of former coaches, including former assistant coach Scott Champ, who recommended me to their contacts abroad. Ultimately it was Scott who helped me decide which team would be the best fit for me in my first experience."
Champ served as head coach Julie Shackford's lead assistant coach for six years before moving on to Arizona State. More Princeton connections, including alumna Emily Behncke '06 and longtime current assistant coach Ron Celestin, helped Blosser with the transition.
"Ronnie connected me with Emily Behncke, who also played in Sweden," Blosser said. "She told me about her experience and what a great opportunity it was for her, which reinforced my confidence in my decision to do this."
Though it's more than 5,500 miles by air between her family's home in California and her first professional playing experience, along with a nine-hour time difference between Sweden and Los Angeles, Blosser hasn't had to take a crash course in Swedish just yet.
"Initially I thought the language difference would be more of an obstacle," Blosser said. "But most people speak English well enough that communication hasn't been difficult."
On the pitch, Blosser can rely on her feet to do their share of the talking, no interpreter needed. While helping Princeton back to the NCAA tournament in 2012, where the Tigers got their first postseason win since Behncke helped lead the team in 2004, Blosser earned three All-Ivy League honors during her career.
But with the season almost complete, Blosser will have to figure out what's ahead.
"Right now, also Scott's help, I'm in the process of deciding where I'm going to play next," Blosser said. "I've loved my experience on this team, but I'm also excited about the prospect of playing in a different country or bigger city in Sweden."
Still just 22, Blosser has already played soccer coast-to-coast in the U.S., earning accolades and a Princeton degree along the way. Those credentials, plus her first taste of international soccer, should open some doors as she continues her playing career.

Of all the places I've travelled in Canada, the sand dunes that extend for about 100
kilometres along Lake Athabasca in the northwestern corner of Saskatchewan have to be the
most surprising. They are the most northerly expanse of active dunes in the world, spreading
across more than 30,000 hectares and containing an extraordinary array of wildlife. Nine
varieties of plants, including four full species, exist nowhere else in the world. In 1992,
the government of Saskatchewan designated much of the region as Athabasca Sand Dunes Provincial
Wilderness Park.
Provincial parks don't always get their due in Canada. Our most famous parks are national
parks, many, such as Banff and Jasper, known throughout this country and far beyond. But
with the exception of Algonquin in central Ontario — a park whose size, long history and
association with the Group of Seven painters give it almost iconic status — most Canadians
would be hard-pressed to name a single provincial park outside the province where they live.
And that's a shame. The unique plants that have evolved along the south shore of Lake
Athabasca — endemics, to use the scientific term — make these constantly migrating dunes
a biological treasure.
A fragile one, too. From the perspective of a felt-leaf willow or a floccose tansy, it's
fortunate that the dunes are hard for people to reach. They received more traffic in the
early 1980s, when Uranium City, Sask., just north of Lake Athabasca, had a population of
nearly 5,000. Today fewer than 100 people live there. Most visitors now enter the park by
float plane. I arrived in an orange-and-white Cessna 185 accompanied by a guide, Tim Wintoniw
of Churchill River Outfitters. Our two-and-a-half hour flight starts in the little town of
Missinipe, a gateway to the many fly-in fishing camps of northern Saskatchewan.
Our pilot, Les Wilson, takes off at 4:35 a.m., the red sun of late July barely breaking
the horizon. Until the sun climbs, the lakes below us remain draped in mist. Peering down,
I find it hard to tell if we're passing over land striped with water or water ribboned
by land. I try to count the lakes in view, and give up at 200. On one, an islet shaped like
a fish hook holds a single tree.
As we leave the interlaced Churchill River system behind, the bones of the land begin to
jut through the forest. Trees become skimpier. Blackened expanses show the brute force of
fire. Beyond lies Lake Athabasca — the fourth biggest lake whose waters are entirely within
Canada, and the 20th by size in the world.
Wilson passes me a set of headphones. Without them, conversation inside the noisy cabin
is almost impossible. He insisted on leaving Missinipe early because of the waves that agitate
Lake Athabasca when the wind gets up. On large bodies of water, early morning is often the
only time a float plane can safely land. "When I flew here before," he says with a grin, "we
Not this time. Wilson manoevres the plane above the sinuous course of the William River,
its dark water braided with butterscotch swirls of sand as it prepares to empty into Lake
Athabasca. The river splits a dramatic landscape: above one bank is the dark green of a boreal
forest, above the other the pale yellow of a desert. Even by 7:15 a.m., a few whitecaps have
risen on the lake as the Cessna turns and banks. But Wilson brings us smoothly down.

Between Thursday, May 1, and Monday, May 5, the Summit County Sheriff's Office responded to numerous cases including the following:
Deputies responded to a report of a male who had been threatening someone near Kimball Junction on May 1. The man refused to follow an order of arrest and the deputy attempted to place him in handcuffs, at which point the man fought with him. He was eventually taken to the ground and taken into custody for resisting arrest.
Three juvenile boys in South Summit allegedly pulled a prank on May 1 by making it appear that one of them had been abducted. An unopened beer was found in one of the boy's pockets and he was released to his mother and referred to Juvenile Court.
A deputy observed two intoxicated males walk into a Kimball Junction business on May 1. An employee stated that one of the men had taken and concealed a tobacco product and upon contact, one man was found to have a warrant for his arrest. Both were arrested and booked into jail.
A traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle on Interstate 80 on May 2 for non-returning registration. During a canine search of the vehicle, 12.5 pounds of marijuana were discovered in a hidden compartment. Both the driver and passenger were arrested on drug possession charges.
A road bicycle was reported stolen from the back porch of a Snyderville Basin residence on May 2. The complainant stated she had hung up the bike after returning from a ride when it was later stolen.
Deputies responded to a Basin residence on May 2 on a report of an aggravated assault. The suspect, a male, had left the scene when deputies arrived, but the victim, a female, stated she was punched in the face and choked. She had tried to call 911 but he had taken the phone from her, she said. An attempt to locate was put out on the male suspect and he was later located.
A male suspect allegedly stole several checks on May 2 from a woman's apartment in the Basin and cashed them to himself in Salt Lake.
A male driver was stopped for a lane travel violation in the Basin on May 2 and showed signs of impairment. He failed field sobriety tests and was arrested for driving under the influence with a 0.131 blood-alcohol content.
Two male individuals were arrested on marijuana possession charges during separate traffic stops for lane travel violations on I-80 on May 3.
One individual was arrested and could face child abuse/abandonment charges after being found unconscious on a hotel bathroom floor on May 3, and allegedly assaulted a child earlier.

Tim Cook
Robertsdale, Alabama
We are all very happy with product pipeline, and the team here has an unparalleled breadth and depth that Steve has driven in the company, and excellence has become a habit.
When Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple CEO earlier this year, Tim Cook was chosen to replace the tech world's leading visionary. Tech-heads were skeptical, but after the highly anticipated Apple keynote and Jobs' subsequent death in October 2011, Cook proved that he is indeed the man for the job.
Tim Cook BiographySo how does one become the boss of the most ubiquitous, game-changing company in the world? Well, for Tim Cook, it all started in the small town of Robertsdale, Alabama, where, as the son of a shipyard worker and a homemaker, the heights of success he would one day reach seemed unimaginable. But after graduating from Robertsdale High School and earning a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from Auburn University in 1982, Cook went on to obtain his MBA from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business in 1988 while spending a dozen years at IBM in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
After gaining a reputation for being smarter than everyone else at IBM, Cook left the company to join the computer-reseller division of a wholesaler called Intelligent Electronics, where he became COO. He then went to Compaq, where he would remain for only three months before Steve Jobs brought the rising star to Apple in 1998.
Tim Cook Rises The Ranks at AppleWhen Tim Cook first arrived at Apple, his first priority was to clean up the troubling state of Apple's manufacturing by closing down factories and warehouses worldwide while simultaneously developing relationships with contract manufacturers. So while Steve Jobs was busy branding Apple as the coolest company on the planet, Cook made sure that said company ran as efficiently as possible, a combination that turned Apple into a cash-generating machine, thanks in large part to Cook's operational savvy.
Because Tim Cook brought a unique business acumen to a company that for a long time lacked it, it wasn't long before he began to move up the chain of command. In 2000, he assumed control of customer support and the sales force (which saw him install Apple specialists in electronics stores all around the world, long before the first Apple Store) before taking control of the Macintosh division in 2004, the same year he would briefly replace Jobs as the company's CEO. The following year, Cook was appointed COO, and with Jobs' health becoming a major concern, it became clear that Cook would one day be at the helm of Apple.
Tim Cook Becomes CEO of Apple After Steve Jobs Steps DownTim Cook once said that no one will ever be able to replace Steve Jobs. But with Jobs' death, it's up to Cook to try. Early in his tenure as Apple COO, there was a consensus in Silicon Valley that Cook could never succeed Jobs because he was merely functional, his ideas not bold or brilliant enough to steer Apple into the future.
Tim Cook always had a reputation as a hard-nosed introvert, a talented businessman who was respected but feared by his employees. Others felt that Cook's position on the Nike board helped him hone his skills in terms of product development and customer service. Cook had actually become head of day-to-day operations at Apple in January -- with Jobs making the major decisions from afar -- so when Jobs resigned, Cook was the only logical choice.

Wow I came in expecting glock in the lead but see CZ has more! I love my CZ. I'm a little surprised to see HK so low, they are expensive though.
Ruger is my fav. for home defense.
I want to change my vote now that I have a CZ.
Or Colt
or S&W
Or Sig Sauer
Heck I can't decide :rolleyes:
SIG!!!! Dennis
Well, since I just bought my first and only gun, I would have to say Springfield, picked up a XDm 9mm. Came very highly recommended by a co worker and great reviews on the net, but I'm open for other opinions for my next purchase (got the bug)...
Now.... do I really need to say which I chose? It's pretty obvious isn't it? Awe heck!!! I'll tell ya anywho.
SIG slappy's are representing!:smt041:
I love my Bersa. (Thunder 9 High Cap)
i may be making myself look really stupid here but isn't walther a joint company with smith and wesson? :)
and magnum research isn't in the choices :(
Could not even begin to answer this.
I like many different guns from different manufacturers.
The question says guns but doesn't say if this include long guns, or just pistols, or revolvers?
I really like Springfield, but too I like Bersa, Walther, Ruger, Browning, Beretta, Glock, Astra etc etc
All listed above are excellent guns, I find it hard to chose one over the other.
So I have to say none of the above and all of the above.
Figured I'd post since I see a few votes for Taurus but no posts. Bought the 1911 after some research and because of price. Happy with it(actually love it). Stuck with them until they let me down. Added a 38sp and 9mm and still happy with them. Not a lot of experience except a couple rentals but my .02.
I chose Glock but Im thinking about buying a Kahr
FNH isn't even on the list!!!!!!
what in the world happened
Gotta be the Springfield!!
I will have a Sig please.
Thank you.
I voted for Sig because my 229 is perfect in absolutely every way, hands down my favorite gun that I've ever touched, but I'm also a big fan of Springers, love my 1911, and good ole' Smit & Wessons, though I don't own one yet. Hhmmmm, maybe my next present will be a S&W model 60 or a M&P9c or a XD9sc or a .....:smt076 I can't decide!
Beretta all the way!!!!!:smt071
It's gotta be SIG.
I have a P226 in 9mm and a P220 Combat .45. My next will be a P239 in 9mm.
Unless I find something that's just fun to shoot or special in some other way, all of my 'serious' (home,carry,etc) will be Sigs.
I never want to spend one nano-second thinking about how the gun in my hand has to be operated, I want them all to function in exactly the same way (meaning; decocker, mag release button, etc). If I have to think even for a moment where something is or how it operates, that may be too late.

One Direction will soon unleash their new single, "Little Things," off their November 13 album release, Take Me Home. And, if fans are expecting a tune as bouncy as the album's lead single, "Live While We're Young," they'd better think again. Songwriter Ed Sheeran says the group wanted to slow things down.
"It's got one of my favorite lines that I've ever written in a song," he told Capital FM about the track, which is slated to hit the U.K. very soon. "Harry says, 'I know you never like the sound of your voice on tape and you never like to know how much you weigh and you still have to squeeze into your jeans, but you're perfect to me.' "
He describes it as an acoustic ballad (which sounds similar to "Moments," the track he gave them on their debut Up All Night), and he added that the guys are trying to shake things up a bit on this new release. He said, "I think they just wanted to try something different. I think they did the same formula with the last single — it sounded like a One Direction song — and now I think they want to switch it up a bit."
Back in September, Sheeran spoke to MTV News about the track , sharing that it "is kind of a very sweet song," he said. "It was written about the best things about someone, kind of like the things you wouldn't expect. You'll have to hear it. I can't really say too much 'cause it's their album. I want them to be the first ones to announce it and stuff."
With only weeks until the album drops, fans are eagerly anticipating it. And, it's not only the Directioners who are amped for the release, but also the guys in the band. On Wednesday (October 25), Niall Horan tweeted, "Listened to a few songs on take me home this morning! I literally cannot wait for the release date!"

A bulldog was shot multiple times after viciously attacking and killing a smaller Shih Tzu on Sunday, in a campground at Navajo Lake State Park in New Mexico. According to San Juan County Sheriff's Captain Tim Black, the 2-year-old American bulldog escaped, ran over to another campsite where the Shih Tzu was tethered, grabbed it in its mouth, and violently shook and killed the smaller dog. An off-duty police officer from another county witnessed the attack, ran into the trailer and retrieved a gun, and shot the bulldog with the Shih Tzu still in its mouth. The bulldog's owner was reportedly straddling the dog at the time, attempting to intervene in the dog attack.
This story is a tragic but important reminder that dogs can be unpredictable, and must be closely supervised, especially if they might come into contact with other dogs or people. It is never a good idea to leave a dog tethered outside alone, and most campgrounds and RV parks prohibit it. Most campgrounds and RV parks also require that dogs always be leashed and that owners pick up after their dogs, but these rules can sometimes be ignored. It is best to be aware of the other dogs in the campground, whether they seem to be well-trained, and if their owners are supervising the animals closely.
According to dogbitelaw.com, there are some danger signs that could indicate risk factors for possible dog bites or attacks.
A dog alone in its yard, with no owner present. In 2008, 78% of the fatal dog attacks involved unsupervised dogs in their own yards.
Dog breed: Pit bull, Rottweiler, Akita or Chow. These breeds are considered to be more aggressive, with pit bulls topping the list. Of all of the dog attack fatalities in 2008, 65% were caused by pit bulls.
The pack mentality. The more, the merrier does not apply here. Larger groups of dogs means a higher risk of aggressive behavior. Of all the fatal dog attacks in 2008, 39% involved multiple dogs.
Chained or tethered dogs. Dogs can become more aggressive when tied up. This accounted for 9% of fatal dog attacks in 2008.
Male or unneutered dogs. Males are several times more likely to attack than females, and even more so if they have not been neutered.
New to the household. The first 60 days is a crucial period of adjustment for either a new dog in a household, or a new person in a household with a dog. In 2007 and 2008, 20% of fatal dog attacks involved a new person or dog co-habitating for less than two months.
Although none of these factors alone should cause fear of attack, it is wise to pay attention if more than one of these risk factors is present. Of course, many dog attacks could be avoided with proper training, but sometimes even training will not prevent a dog attack. Observation, closely monitoring your dog, common sense, and remaining calm are key factors in avoiding situations that could lead to dog attacks.

I live with 5 other people, so as you can imagine, my internet connection speed can be pretty poor, particularly if everyone is connected at the same time.
However, I've noticed recently that it appears to be much slower than it was when I first moved in.
I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to prioritise which computers on the network get the most bandwidth, or if there is any way I can check what speed/ bandwidth all of the other computers connected to the network have to see if others in the house have somehow prioritised their computers over mine, or have restricted the amouth of bandwidth I am able to use?

Path may have just updated their apps for both Android and iOS, but their heart is with their finances right now as they're raising a $50 million Series C round at a $500 million post-money valuation.
It was only back in April of 2012 that the social network raised $30 million at a valuation of $250 million, so they've grown considerably in the last fifteen months. Google offered Path $100 million to acquire them back in 2011, with rumors arriving again that the search giant would acquire them. We'll see in the coming months, I guess.

College Hockey:Mavericks Hold On For Road Sweep
Canzanello Notches Game-Winner
HOUGHTON, Mich. — Despite the fact that the Michigan Tech Huskies were out looking for revenge for their overtime loss on Friday night, the No. 11 Minnesota State Mavericks (7-3-2 overall, 5-3-2 WCHA) weathered the early storm, notched a pair of early goals and hung on for a 4-2 win and WCHA road sweep.
"I thought we played a smart hockey game tonight," said Mavericks' coach Troy Jutting. "The (two first period) goals were a big boost for us."
Mavericks' defenseman Nick Canzanello got the game-winner, his first goal of the season, at 16:10 of the second. With the puck loose near the Huskies' goal, Canzanello beat the Huskies' defenders to the puck and slid it past freshman goaltender Josh Robinson.
The Huskies (2-9-1 overall, 1-8-1 WCHA) flew out of the gates, out-shooting the Mavericks 5-0 in the first five minutes of play, but it was the Mavericks who got on the board first with a tally on their first shot of the game.
Center Trevor Bruess notched his sixth goal of the young season when he cut in alone on Robinson and beat him with a quick move to the backhand at 3:44.
"Trevor is a very good hockey player," said Jutting. "Anytime you can get those scorers scoring, it's a big confidence boost for them."
The Mavericks struck again on the man advantage after defenseman Kurt Davis sent a home run pass from his own end to a streaking Rylan Galiardi. Galiardi made a nice move to beat Robinson at 15:19. Mavericks' netminder Mike Zacharias also picked up an assist on the goal.
"You have to give (the Mavericks) credit; they got two chances and they scored," said Huskies' coach Jamie Russell.
The Huskies looked a bit more desperate in the early stages of the second period, as they held the Mavericks at bay in the defensive zone and fired pucks at Zacharias. The best chance in the early going was when Eric Kattelus hit Ryan Angelow with a pass, setting up a shot from the slot, but Zacharias came up with the stop.
Jordan Baker got the Huskies on the board with a great amount of crashing the net at 7:40. Center Brett Olson hit Baker cruising towards the Mavericks' net, and Baker just redirected the pass into the net.
"I got a great pass from Olson and I just got my stick on it," said Baker. "We have to play our game in order to get things to turn around for us."
After the goal, the Huskies had a few good opportunities to even the game. Kattelus cut across in front of Zacharias, but couldn't bury a backhand shot. Junior defenseman Drew Dobson fired a low shot, but the Huskies' forward screening Zacharias couldn't quite get a stick on the shot to redirect it.
Despite trailing 3-1 through two periods, the Huskies and Mavericks were even on shots with 17 each.
The Huskies struck quickly in the third period when senior center Alex Gagne fired a shot that deflected in off of a defenseman in front of the net and past Zacharias just 44 seconds in.
"Finally I got a lucky bounce on my side tonight," said Gagne. "I thought we got a lot of momentum from that goal."
Shortly after getting the goal, the Huskies had a golden opportunity to even the game when Mavericks' defenseman Brian Kilburg was whistled for slashing. Gagne nearly netted his second goal of the game after carrying the puck out from the corner and firing a backhand that Zacharias fumbled.
About halfway through the final frame, Baker took a long lead pass and carried the puck in for a shot on goal and the rebound kicked straight out to Kattelus, whose shot was blocked. That shot rebounded out to MacLeod, who couldn't find the back of the net either.
The Huskies slowed shortly after those great chances, and after taking a huge hit in the corner of his own end, junior defenseman John Kivisto was forced to take a penalty getting back to the front of the net. The penalty led to the Mavericks' second power-play goal of the night.
Bruess made his second goal look even prettier than his first when he got loose with the puck and lifted a shot over a sprawling Robinson to regain the two-goal lead at 11:48.
Robinson finished the night with 21 stops on 25 Mavericks shots. Zacharias earned his seventh win with 26 stops on the night.

Martha Rountree
Radio/Television Producer, Writer, Host
Because politics has been a predominantly male field, network television's longest running series,
Meet the Press
, has featured more men than women being interviewed by its panel of reporters. This is a little bit of television irony, because this informational program, a staple on radio and then television since the midforties, was, in fact, created by a woman, Martha Rountree. A model of Southern gentility on the outside, with a iron-willed determination underneath, or, as Mrs. William Randolph Hearst memorably summed her up, "a diesel engine under a lace handkerchief," Rountree became one of media's foremost producers, reporters, and moderators of political-themed programming, keeping the world abreast of events and issues through such additional series as
Keep Posted
Washington Exclusive
, and
Capital Closeup
, while also giving women their own forum, on
Leave It to the Girls
. She had the distinction of being not only
Meet the Press
's first moderator, but remains to this day, the show's
female host. Rountree described herself as a "blunt speaking, down to earth television news reporter," adding, "and I'm proud of it." Her no-nonsense, direct approach encouraged politicians to open up, which helped to keep the country that much better informed on important issues she believed we were entitled to know about. "Freedom of the press is America's first line of defense," she explained. "It is something that must be fought for continuously—not taken for granted."
Born in Florida, Rountree was raised in Columbia, South Carolina, where her interest in writing became evident early on when she wrote a short story, entitled "This Crazy World," when she was only nine years old. While attending the University of South Carolina, she worked on the
Columbia Record
. Choosing journalism over continuing her education she quit school and returned to the state of her birth to accept a reporter job at the
Tampa Tribune
. Her duties included writing a sports column under the name "M. J. Rountree," its readers none the wiser as to the sex of the journalist who was, after all, writing in a field dominated by men. A local CBS station was impressed enough by her work that they gave her a chance to write for radio for the first time, after which she headed north to New York, where she wrote ad copy for the medium. But Rountree was not comfortable playing so minor a part of an industry she felt held greater opportunities for her. "I got the ideas, worked them out; other people got the credit," she lamented. "I wanted to produce myself. So I took a radio apart to find out what made it tick, right from the control room to the sponsor." To prove that she meant business, she and her sister Ann opened a production firm called Radio House, which prepared transcribed programs and singing commercials.
1945 was Rountree's banner year. She made her mark on radio in a big way, selling the idea for two different panel shows to the Mutual network, premiering them a day apart in October.
Leave It to the Girls
was intended to be a highly serious program that would allow a quick-witted panel of four women to discuss problems and issues sent in by listeners. Paula Stone served as moderator while the notable ladies called on to participate during the run of the show included Faye Emerson, Lucille Ball, Sylvia Sidney, and Binnie Barnes. In a short time, the tone became more light-hearted as the focus shifted almost entirely to dissecting the pains and joys of coping with the opposite sex. Frequently a male panelist was invited to offer his side of the argument.
ran for four years on the Mutual network, overlapping with its premiere on local television in 1947, finishing its radio run in January of 1949 before making the transition to NBC nightly television in April of that year. For the new medium Maggi McNellis was engaged as moderator, while the show's two most frequent panelists from radio, Eloise McElhone and Florence Pritchett, stayed on.
remained on the prime-time schedule until March of 1954, returned as a syndicated series for the 1962-63 season, and was reincarnated for a brief run in 1981, this time with the title
Leave It to the Women
Premiering on October 5, 1945, one day before the fluffier
, was Rountree's far more important and enduring contribution to broadcasting,
Meet the Press
. Although frequently credited as a cocreation of Rountree and Lawrence E. Spivak, publisher and editor of
American Mercury
magazine, authoritative sources adamantly state that it was Rountree who developed the premise on her own, with Spivak joining up as coproducer and business partner in the enterprise
the show had already debuted. The idea of
Meet the Press
was to coax a leading public figure to face a panel of reporters cold, minus script or prepared statements, which, hopefully, would bring forth a more revelatory and personal degree of discussion to "find out what they stand for." During its five-year run on the Mutual radio network on Friday evenings,
Meet the Press
hosted such important figures as California governor and future chief justice Earl Warren, President Harry Truman, and Senator Joseph McCarthy, with Rountree presiding over the chat and Spivak its "permanent panelist."
Instantly championed by critics and considered important enough to be carried by wire service reporters, Harriet Van Horne of the
New York World-Telegram and Sun
, wrote that it put "wallop" into interviewing.
Meet the Press
earned a Peabody Award in 1947, a Radio & Television Arts and Sciences Award in 1951, and a second Peabody (qualifying for having changed to a new medium) in 1952. Rountree herself was given special citations from the Women for Achievement and as the outstanding woman in television for 1951 by the National Fraternity for Women in Journalism. Commenting on the need for such a program, she told the
New York Times
, "I think it is important that the public should hear its elected officers speak out and take their stand in answer to direct questions without preparation or oratory. There is nothing so refreshing as unadorned conviction."
While still broadcasting on Mutual radio,
Meet the Press
arrived on television on NBC's New York affiliate nighttime schedule on November 6, 1947, before many Americans had even purchased a TV set. Rountree remained the moderator until 1953, handing over the reigns to Ned Brooks, who would stay with the show for the remainder of its prime-time run, until August of 1965. After that point the series moved to Sunday where it is broadcast to this day. Six other moderators succeeded Rountree, including Spivak, but she remains, to date, the only woman to hold the position. As if Rountree didn't have her hands full enough, commuting between New York and Washington, D.C., to supervise
respectively, she and Spivak developed another public affairs program, this time for the DuMont network,
Keep Posted
. Rountree again served as moderator, with the panel consisting of average citizens instead of reporters, directing their questions at politicians and other public figures. Once sponsorship from the
Saturday Evening Post
ended, the program changed its name to
The Big Issue
for its last season on the air.
The producing duo added a third series to their resumes in 1953 with
Washington Exclusive
, the premise of which gave six former senators the chance to discuss civil and military affairs. Also assisting on the producing end was Oliver Presbrey, whom Rountree married in 1952. As with each of her shows, persuading her guests to appear was simple. "Here is a chance for you to tell your story to the American people," she would explain. "If you are honest, and believe what you say, there is nothing to fear." In 1953, Rountree sold her interests in both
The Big Issue
Meet the Press
to Spivak. Two years later she concentrated on launching a monthly magazine,
Know the Facts
and started her own radio station, WKTF, in Northern Virginia.
She did not, however, stay away from television for long, returning in the summer of 1956 as the moderator of
Press Conference
, which changed its original format to one more akin to that of
Meet the Press
, with Rountree presiding over a panel of journalists tossing questions at pivotal newsmakers. So important had she become as a television figure that for the final three months the series was retitled
Martha Rountree's Press Conference
. Following its run, she returned to her radio roots with a live program she created and produced, in collaboration with Lucy Jarvis,
Capital Closeup
, a daily forty-five-minute talk show examining current events. The midafternoon scheduling was done deliberately, to favor female listeners, Rountree believing that women wanted something meaningful to talk over with their husbands when they came home from work. The Rountree format of keeping public leaders on their toes was never better reflected than an interview conducted for the program with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who felt such pressure on the air that he swore to never again consent to such scrutiny. During the series's run Rountree could frequently be seen on NBC's
The Nation's Future
, another series presenting debates on topical subjects.
After leaving the
program in the midsixties, Rountree created the Leadership Foundation, a nonprofit political research group, designed to bring concerned American citizens together in a coordinated effort to research urgently needed facts. She served as its president until 1988. One of her key aims was to bring focus on the need to restore traditional American values, believing that there was a growing moral lapse in the country which she blamed on the prevalence of drugs, sex, and violence. One solution, she believed, was to reinstate voluntary prayer in the nation's schools, something for which she campaigned extensively. This controversial stance, however, in no way damaged Rountree's reputation as one of the truly important and most admired names in the world of public affairs programming. "I think of Martha as one of the most creative women I've ever known," said Liz Carpenter, former Staff Director and Press Secretary for First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson. "She won a wide audience by initiating a thoughtful debate of issues on the air before it became commonplace." Martha Rountree died on August 23, 1999, in Washington, where she had made her name as one of the key figures in political reporting. Her present day successor in the moderator's seat, Tim Russert, summed up her status in the medium by declaring, "She was a news pioneer who helped create a national treasure,

Garden Lecture - Saturday, Aug. 8.

Board of Directors & Advisors

Garden Plan
Future Site
On April 6th, 2013, Jeremy and his team laid out and secured the garden beds at the site. The following Saturday a group of volunteers and men from MMG started the difficult process of filling all 27 garden beds with a mix of rich, organic composted soil and typical "Georgia" red clay soil. The bed frames were lined to prevent seepage of dirt. And then with wheel barrows and shovels the beds were slowly filled. The effort took about 3 hours to complete.
The "Grand Opening"
Saturday April 20th, 2013
Mayor Johnny Crist offered an invocation and talked about his vision for bringing a garden to Lilburn. Peggy Bergman, President of the LCG Board, offered thanks to everyone who volunteered their time, skills and effort to bring the garden to fruition. Peggy pointed out a few people whose help was essential to the garden. She thanked friends from Columbia Engineering, Duluth, GA, who volunteered their time and talents to design a garden that would meet environmental regulations, city and county codes, but most especially, the needs of the citizens of Lilburn. She offered huge thanks to Jeremy Myers, owner of Metro Maintenance Group, Inc., who donated equipment, time and manpower to help build the garden. MMG voluntarily undertook the tasks of preparing the garden area, getting materials and soil, framing the cedar beds, laying the beds, and on Saturday, April 13, was joined by other volunteers to finally fill the beds. And final thanks went to the City of Lilburn and Lilburn City Council members who offered the piece of property and continued support for the garden.
When the speeches ended, six LCG board members, along with Mayor Johnny Crist and Jeremy Myers officially cut the Ribbon to open the garden.
And the planting began!
Fall 2013
The first harvest came in. Members of the garden celebrated with a scarecrow contest. And boy, did their creativity and enthusiasm come through! We're not sure if the scarecrows scared any crows, but they certianly did add a lot of color and whimsy to the garden!
A local Eagle Scout Candidate, Brendon Buckley, built five new garden benches to have a place to sit, take a break, and enjoy the company of their fellow gardners.
Another local Eagle Scout Candidate, Jacob Roberson, toiled in the dirt and created a pollinator garden that beautifies the garden, while also providing a much appreciated benefit.
Winter 2013/2014
Spring 2014
After a bitter and snowy winter, everyone was ready to go. Once spring hit.....
everyone came to the garden and started to prepare for the upcoming year.
The Lilburn Woman's Club wasted no time in planting an Herb Garden.
Virgil Ponzoli worked with Mr. Edward Sezonov and the City of Lilburn to bring an active beehive to the garden.
Donated blackberry bushes were planted......
Raspberry bushes too! And sponsor plaques were placed on beds.
It was a very hectic and tiring work day! But as always......worth the effort!
Our "Wonderful Suprise" came to fruition when beekeeper, Mr. Edward Sezonov installed a beehive in our garden! We are very proud to have such a unique and beneficial item as part of the Lilburn Community Garden!
The members of the Board of Directors would like to acknowledge this generous donation that was made
"In Loving Memory of Jetha Brooks" by her neice.
We also thank Jeremy and Andrew for their time, equipment and dedication to helping us achieving this goal for our garden.

If we had a nickel for every time we'd wished someone would show up on our doorstep with a gourmet cake, we'd have ourselves at least enough spare change to order this Galaxy Desserts Trophy Mousse Cake Sampler ($38). The treats included in this package sound utterly mouth-watering, from the Triple Mousse with white, dark, and milk chocolate to the whiskey-spiked Chocolate Ribbon. The cakes will keep up to a week in the fridge, or longer if frozen, but we figure it'll be a miracle if they last more than ten minutes.

Sony Xperia S could get its Android Jelly Bean update in the next few days
Last week, when Sony started rolling-out an official Android Jelly Bean update to the Xperia TX, it reconfirmed that other older Xperia handsets would get JB pretty soon, too.
Now, according to a Facebook comment from Sony Poland, it looks like the Xperia S will be the next to get the update. Reportedly, the smartphone should receive Jelly Bean starting the next few days. Of course, it's going to be Android 4.1, not 4.2 (but the later version might also arrive at some point). Hopefully for Xperia S owners, the update will indeed arrive as promised.
The Xperia S was launched by Sony in early 2012 as it then-flagship smartphone. It's still a nice device in 2013, featuring: a 4.3 inch HD (1280 x 720) display with Mobile Bravia engine, 12MP rear camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor, Adreno 220 GPU, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory, and a 1,750 mAh battery.
As previously reported, Sony is currently also readying Jelly Bean updates for the following smartphones: Xperia Acro S, Xperia SL, Xperia Ion, Xperia P, and Xperia Go.
Meanwhile – but you probably already know this – Sony has introduced several smartphones that run Android Jelly Bean out of the box, including the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia SP, and Xperia L.
