Plenty of other creatures, however, are less choosy about
keeping me company. Summer in the Mealy Mountains is
blackfly season. In a lifetime of northern travel, I have never
seen so many. What Canadian explorer and map-maker A. P.
Low called "the gay festive mosquito" remains largely absent
from this high country, but about 10,000 blackflies clamber
madly over me on this warm and windless July afternoon.
Clouds more of them rise at every step. Little wonder that only
gormless travellers like myself venture here in summer. Locals,
far smarter, traditionally fish the breezy coast until September.
Only then do they head into the interior by canoe, to reach
their trapping grounds by November, when the fur is prime.
When I had tried to enlist some former trappers to join me
on this summer excursion, each one had suddenly remembered
either a prior commitment or a leg injury.
There is an essential contradiction about Labrador. To an
outsider, it feels like the deepest wilderness. You can walk the
interior for 500 kilometres, as I have, and not see a soul. But
every unnamed lake, every point of land, every bald-topped
granite hill has a name and a history and is part of a fabric that has sustained Innu, Inuit, Métis and European settlers
for centuries. Even the remote range where I am camped,
the English Mountains, served as winter caribou hunting
grounds for the coastal Inuit of Rigolet.
The kingly view from 200 metres in the air gives a very different impression of the Mealy Mountains from groundlevel
reality. As the helicopter climbs the escarpment on the Lake Melville side, waterfalls spill down slick black slopes,
flashing like burning magnesium in the sunshine. The many cliffs reinforce local warnings about how easy it is to fall off
some precipice in bad winter light. Nevertheless, the subalpine landscape looks inviting, like seemingly decent hiking terrain.
As we approach the English Mountains, snow appears on the highlands. The origin of the name Mealy is not certain,
although one theory links it to an old word meaning "spotted," because of these snow patches that linger into August.
The Innu call the Mealys akamiuapishku. Pronounced kamiwa-pushku, it means, somewhat similarly, Across White Rock.
The 40-minute flight from Happy Valley-Goose Bay excites me about my travel prospects for the next four days. I pick
Cave Creature Lake as a base more because of its beauty than its legends. It is also close to a snow-flecked pyramid that pilot
Darin Silver has informally judged as the highest peak in the Mealys simply by flying around the area and watching
his altimeter. A venturi wind, as Silver calls it, rips down the narrow inland fiord. We land and unload, the helicopter
leaves, I set up my tent in peace — and then the wind stops.
When many of us think of national parks we imagine familiar icons like Banff, which tries to balance
protection of the area with hosting three million visitors a year. But many of the newer northern parks see few
tourists. Ellesmere Island's Quttinirpaaq National Park, the
second largest park in Canada (after Wood Buffalo in Alberta/Northwest Territories), can get just eight or nine
hikers a year. Such parks exist for reasons other than recreation.
The Mealy Mountains have been under consideration as a national park since the 1970s. They represent one of
39 distinct Canadian ecosystems; in this case, the East Coast Boreal Region. The mountains may not erupt 1,000 metres
directly out of the open ocean, as they do in Torngat Mountains — Labrador's first national park — far to the
north, but the English Mountains feel like Labrador's version of Gros Morne, in Newfoundland: ancient sugarloaf granite
riven by deep interior fiords, the haunt of wolves and caribou.
Beyond representing an ecosystem, a new national park has to be politically possible. That's more of a challenge than
it used to be. Western models like Banff were created when residents had little input. Politicians and bureaucrats inked
in a park on the map, and nearby communities relocated or adapted to the restrictions. Today's parks — especially northern
parks with rich histories of land use where traditional activities remain part of daily life — are custom-made to
consider the needs of the local people who know them best.
.....Yes, the English River region in the Mealy's was visited by myself several times in the 1990's. A good friend of mine, Len Rich-outfitter at his Awesome Lake lodge(now removed for the park)...I spent a number of weeks exploring the region...and fished(caught) massive brook trout(s). Besides fish, wildlife sited included,,,,otter, mink, black bear, bald eagles, and woodland caribou. Grey wolf tracks were viewed. Fortunate to have explored this lovely area, I was inspired to include a chapter in my book: "Adventures of Wood and Seas"(Trafford Publishing/Amazon). entitled "Romancing the Brookie". Making the National Park of this area was the only proper thing to do. While up the Labradorian coast various mines are in production...needed for jobs and metal ore material....it is nice to know protection has been granted to this region. Good Stuff me lads!
The article invites me to smell the air and hear the silence can't wait to pay respect to this part of our planet.
Nice article. Labrador has much hidden beauty, and this new park is a magical place of beauty. I have seen it in winter and, after reading this article, definitely want to visit in summer... flies and all.
Well, that is about as thoughtful and carefully crafted and nuanced article about labrador as I've read in a while. Nice job Jerry!

An emergency plea went out to social media on Thursday morning about the critical need for rescue organizations and would be responsible adopters to come forward and help with the overcrowding situation at the Columbus County Animal Shelter in NC (CCAC).
The plaintive cry for help stated:
"EMERGENCY! The shelter is completely full including doubled up dogs, and there is now a line of people waiting to surrender animals! Loretta is trying to make them wait until a kennel opens, but she is not legally allowed to refuse these new intakes. And the officers will bring in more dogs in a few hours."
One such candidate ready to begin his new life is Teddy, a Labrador retriever mix who has pledges ready to be donated to an approved rescue to help with Teddy's expenses until he finds his new hope. Follow Teddy's rescue thread by clicking here.
"Is there ANY rescue able to pull a dog today? The dogs on the euth list are in danger but any dog who leaves may save lives. If you are on the approved list to pull, please do not wait for us - call the vet (Columbus 910-654-6952 or South Robeson 910-628-7178) and get the dog out."
What this shelter does not need is for someone to "save" a dog today and then dump him/her here or elsewhere tomorrow. If you cannot offer true rescue or a forever home, please do not pull.
Urgent Dogs of Columbus County Animal Shelter, NC is a volunteer run crossposting page for dogs at CCAC in Whiteville, NC. Please see the rescue/adoption process on each photo to save a dog.
Please share this desperate situation with your friends, family and coworkers. Sharing only takes a few moments of your time, and just one contact with that special person who falls in love with any of these beautiful dogs means another life saved.
If interested in adopting any dog from this shelter, please click here and follow instructions carefully.

DALZELL — Dalzell Village Board received clarification on tax increment financing district payments for the Blakely Subdivision at Wednesday's board meeting.
"We continue to pay the costs already approved," attorney Herb Klein said.
The Blakely Subdivision agreement was created in 1995 to pay for work done to create the subdivision. The developers submitted more than $2.5 million in expenses, but only a little more than $1 million was approved for TIF reimbursement.
Approved work consisted of a sanitary sewer lift station, water main and roadway construction, according to Klein. Village board members wanted clarification on who the payments went to. Klein said the check was made out to First State Bank and not an individual.
"What they do with it after that is their business," Klein said.
The developers get 75 percent of the TIF money with the village receiving the remaining 25 percent. Though development at the subdivision and the TIF district has been stagnant for years, the city has to pay for the approved work, which is expected to take until 2017.
The village board is considering an extension of the TIF district, which is set to expire in 2018. That matter was tabled until the next meeting.In other business:
• Charlie Ellerbrock, representing the family of longtime Dalzell resident Bonnie Ellerbrock, gave the village a check for $1,000 to go toward improvements and programs at the village park. Bonnie Ellerbrock died in February, and the money came from a memorial fund in her name. Charlie Ellerbrock said his mother enjoyed going to the park, watching the baseball games and seeing the people.
• The village donated $25 to Special Olympics.
• The next village board meeting is set for 7 p.m. April 11.

Dickey's Barbecue Pit
I had the opportunity to eat at Dickey's Barbecue Pit while I was in Topeka a few days ago. I always like trying places that we don't have here in Wichita. Lucky for me, there's a Dickey's restaurant right in front of the my hotel.
I made the mistake of ordering a two-meat plate and had way more food than I could eat. My two meats were pulled pork (a must because I love, love, love pork) and spicy cheddar sausage. I was quite surprised at how much I liked the spicy cheddar sausage. I would totally order that again. Although, the spiciness creeps up on you.
My sides were coleslaw and potato casserole topped with grated cheese. While I liked both, they were pretty average. The coleslaw tasted just like the ones you get at KFC. The potato casserole was a little on the bland side, but then it could be that my tastebuds were numb from the spicy cheddar sausage. LOL.
Jokes aside, I actually thought the food was pretty good as barbecue goes. I would eat there again even if it weren't located outside my hotel door (though that is an added bonus because I don't like having to drive all over the place when I'm away from my comfort zone of Northeast Wichita). Also, the people who work there are super helpful and friendly. They even let me taste the spicy cheddar sausage to help me decide whether I wanted to order it. It is a shame that there isn't a Dickey's restaurant within 100 miles of us. I wish I could take Brian to one. He love barbecue.

Dear friends and colleagues,
We sent out an invitation to College of Fellows (COF) donors — as one of the perks of being a $1,000 donor — to attend "Monty Python's Spamalot" and were blown away by the response. "Spamalot" – for those unfamiliar — is a musical version of the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Theatre, dance, music and visual arts students produced and acted, under the direction of Tom Skore, in this largest ever UAA production. More than 150 donors joined me for an evening of silliness and irreverent humor. This was the biggest COF event ever.
More and more UAA is becoming a vital draw to our community for producing shows like "Spamalot" and bringing in high profile speakers like James and Deborah Fallows, who spoke in November.
Not only are we providing intellectual, artistic and creative opportunities for our community but our Seawolf athletes are raising the level of great amateur sports available in Alaska. And it's not going unnoticed. Seawolves received a shoutout in NBC Sports College Basketball Talk.
"Alaska Anchorage: For the seventh time in the history of the program, UAA finished in fourth-place at the Great Alaska Shootout. How did they manage that? By beating both UC-Riverside and Loyola Marymount. The win over UCR isn't a major surprise, but LMU is one of the better teams in the WCC with one of the best point guards on the west coast in Anthony Ireland. Impressive work from the Seawolves.--Rob Dauster, NBC Sports"
A few more standouts:
It's a great day to be a Seawolf!

College Hockey:Zelasko's Heroics Send Wentworth Into ECAC NE Semis
BOSTON — Junior forward Dave Zelasko scored two goals in a span of 1:17 late in the second period to lift Wentworth to a 2-1 win over Fitchburg State in the opening round of the 2002 ECAC Northeast tournament.
Fitchburg got on the board first as senior forward Jeff Brodeur capitalized on a Wentworth turnover and scored an unassisted, shorthanded tally with 3:20 left in the first period.
Zelasko knotted the game at 1-all, as he took advantage of a Fitchburg State turnover and scored an unassisted, four-on-four goal at 16:16 of the second. One minute and 17 seconds later, he connected on a feed from sophomore defenseman Chris Hartly and gave Wentworth a 2-1 lead it would not relinquish.
Sophomore goalie Raj Bhangoo turned aside 21 of the 22 shots he faced to earn his 12th win of the season. Falcon junior Jason Holt stopped 27 of 29.
With the win, Wentworth improves to 21-5 and advances, for the third consecutive season, to the semifinals of the conference tournament. With Salve Regina upsetting UMass-Dartmouth, 4-3, the Leopards will host one semifinal Wednesday at 8:15 p.m., at Boston University's Walter Brown Arena. Fitchburg State ends its season with a 15-9-2 record.

The fans of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" might be watching the show and appalled by the fight between Kenya Moore and Porsha Stewart, but it appears even after the footage is shown there will be more drama. While Kenya Moore has filed a police report with the cops, there is new information that Porsha Stewart is threatening to sue her cast mate. According to BreatheCast on Sunday, Porsha Stewart's lawyer, Joe Habachy has said that his client might sue Kenya Moore.
The situation surrounding the brawl seen on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" has been escalated ever since it happened on set. Bravo has been careful not to condone the violence, but it still is being hashed out and Kenya Moore has made statements about the situation portraying herself as the victim. The worse part has to be that Bravo reaps in big rewards with solid ratings.
Joe Habachy has previously stated that the criminal charges brought against his client were baseless and that Porsha Stewart looked forward to clearing her name. Hoping to get an assault charge against Moore, the attorney has actively argued his client's points.
On "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion show part two, the ladies talk about Kenya Moore's actions and remind her that she doesn't respect people's personal space. Kenya Moore ignores their concerns and suggested she won't even listen to them when it comes to her ways of communication as she knows better.
If the cast members actually decide to pursue civil court proceedings, this would be an interesting turn for reality television. In a world where anything goes, it appears that the stakes of misconduct or other allegations would have been captured on tape and Bravo would be right in the middle of the conflict.
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" part two of the reunion show is on Sunday night.

Easter Wings
by George Herbert
Easter Wings Sin Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
Thou didst so punish sin,
That I became
Most thin (13-15)
According to the poem, God's job is to punish sin, whether it's long-gone Adam's or the just-born speaker's. His thinness here is metaphysical as well as physical, a thinness of the soul. Where is God's love when there's sin around? Nowhere, that's where.
Quote #5
Affliction shall advance the flight in me (20)
Adam's sin means that everyone after him starts out with a stacked deck. The speaker's additional sins have only increased the odds, but since he's willing to repent, the speaker actually sees this as a good thing. It's all about the mindset, folks. Remember when your teacher used to correct you for saying "have to": "No, you get to complete this math assignment"? Herbert does something similar here. The speaker's sin means that he gets to use Christ's resurrection for repentance, not that he has to.

I've just started out learning to program and I'm making a "Radio Scheduler" for my brother as a mini project. I wanted to make an "install" script, which would add an item to Ubuntu's Main Menu. I believe all that is necessary is to create a .desktop file and place it it /usr/share/applications/? This seemed to work fine when I tried it out on 10.10, but I've now tried it on two 10.04 systems (one virtual) and despite it being in the applications folder (so it moved in okay), it isn't showing up at all in the menu...
[Desktop Entry]
GenericName=Automatic Radio Scheduler
I'm not entirely sure about some of that (categories for instance), as I just used another file as a reference. But it seemed to work fine on my 10.10 system, so I don't understand why it won't show up on the others? Should be in Sound & Video if I'm correct... I'm still pretty new to Linux, so sorry if I've got anything completely wrong.

Grammy® hall of fame jazz singles
"The Hall of Fame Award," explains The Recording Academy's website, "was established in 1973 to honor recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance that are at least 25 years old.

As of February 2008, 73 jazz singles have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Jazz.com is pleased to complement the Grammy honor roll with a detailed review of each HOF jazz track.

what ?.........no MILES DAVIS KIND OF BLUE(1959) ??? musicians are still trying to figure out those changes ! and not with standing, it still sells a LOT of cds !

Ron, rest assured, Kind of Blue is nestled securely in the Grammy Hall of Fame, where it was inducted in 1992. The list on this page covers jazz singles only, not albums.

I agree with Ron Carter. The fact that nothing from Kind of Blue ("All Blues" comes to mind in particular) is criminal. The man was the poster child of modern jazz for almost two decades before he went another direction. I love Duke's collection of music but they coulda sacrificed one of these titles for Miles.

Currencies, Bonds, Stocks, and Cyprus: Charts Say One More Upside Attempt Is Due
I was surprised as many were last night when I tuned in to check out futures and currencies. Fortunately for the bulls, the market gods are giving them a reprieve in the short-term.
The Canadian dollar seems also to be in a short-term upside correction.
Just as with the Aussie dollar, the third of my "risk currency" tells, the Canadian dollar, also seems to be in the latter stages of a corrective move to the upside. With the Aussie and Canadian dollars correcting higher recently and the euro continuing to flounder, it should have served as an effective warning of bad news to come out of Europe (of course, hindsight is 20/20). Based on the Fibonacci price projection lines, the highest the Canadian dollar should reach on this move (assuming it's only a correction higher, which I feel is the case based on the rather ugly technical action leading up to this bounce) is 0.9811.
Click to enlarge
My proprietary franc / krona tell still looks OK for the bulls – for the time being.
I have mentioned this indicator here before, and it once again has proven to be fairly reliable as a "risk on / risk off" indicator up to this point. The key to observe on the chart below is the middle graph which shows the spread ratio of the euro / Swiss franc versus the euro / Swedish krona (EURCHF: EURSEK). When that line is trending higher, all should be well in risk-land (one day sell-offs not withstanding). Right now, the trend is still higher for the indicator, so all seems to be well. However, it is easy to see where it would not take much to see that uptrend line broken, so it will certainly pay to stay alert.
Click to enlarge
Treasury yields served as an effective warning sign. Was anyone listening?
The yield on the 10-year US Treasury Note (^TNX) failed to break out above the 100% Fibonacci price projection line for what may be an "ABC" upside correction. I have been harping on this lack of confirmation from bonds for a while now – eventually it matters. As I am (and as many in the 'Ville are) expecting another upside try by the bulls, it will continue to be part of the plan to closely monitor Treasury yields to see if they confirm or diverge from the action in equities.
Click to enlarge
So the plan over the next 10 days or so will be to watch for a fifth wave move to the upside in stocks beginning just below 1,540 on the S&P (INDEXSP:.INX). That move should, in theory, coincide with modest bouces (continuations of bounces in some cases) in the euro, Aussie dollar, and Canadian dollar as well as in the yield on the 10-year US Treasury Note. Oh, only if things played out as perfectly as I lay them out in my mind. Whatever wrinkles are thrown at us will be handled by our own diligence and discipline. Stay alert out there!

Meeting and chatting with Goya Foods Executive Chef, Fernando Desa as he was preparing for his food presentations just days before the "Grand Tasting" at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival (SOBEWFF) was great fun. He was filled with enthusiasm for the upcoming event. You get the real sense that this guy really likes what he does and loves competition even better.
This native of Puerto Rico who grew up the youngest of three brothers busted out of the family business of becoming a physician to follow his dream of being a chef. There was nothing that was going to stop him. He went to the prestigious Johnson and Wales School of Culinary Arts in Providence, Rhode Island where he achieved "Head Chef of His Class" distinction.
The best chefs in the business mentored him. Aaron Wratten at Horned Dorset Primavera Resort, Puerto Rico and Peter Timmins at Tavern Room Restaurant, Greenbrier Resort and the notable Volker Frick at Kettle Cuisine.
He readily admits, with an air of true passion in his words, "Cooking is my life. I love to cook." He further described, "It's all about being creative and the challenge." This is what drove him ultimately to apply for the Executive Chef's position at Goya Foods.
Goya is America's largest Hispanic-owned food company, based in Secaucus, New Jersey. Chef Desa's is indeed challenged each day with creating authentic and refined Latin America's diverse cultural flavors using nothing more than Goya's 1,800 products (plus a few more that he invents along the way.)
He started with Goya in 2007 and in 2009, the Goya executives asked him to develop an R&D department, which he now heads up. He hired a nutritionist, two-food scientist and another chef. Together he and his team create culinary magic for Goya.
Desa states, "I am primarily responsible for the research and development of new products and recipes for inclusion on the Goya website and its related publications." In his capacity as Executive Chef and Product Development Manager, Desa teams members of the Sales and Marketing departments to explore the usage of new products from Latin America and adapt them for Goya's consumer markets.
So, how does he do it? There are multitudes of Latino cultures and subcultures. There are so many variations on a recipe theme even with the most popular of dishes such as paella, arroz con pollo or mofungo, to name a few, which are prepared differently throughout Latin America.
"Goya is all about authenticity," Desa touted. "They are looking to emulate the traditions of the native foods from Latino countries around the world. This is not just about packaged and canned foods, it more. It is about diversity and pride," he continued to voice with a sense of conviction.
I asked him how he figures out what the next product will be? "That is simple, but it is a very complex process," Desa says. "It comes first with the demographic need. The first question is, what are the [Latino] population culinary needs are there that the company wants to address. Once that is defined, you look at the region from where the demographic tells you, say for example Colombian. You make the dish according to the various recipes that come from the different parts of Columbia because each region may make it a little different," Desa explained.
Essentially, what Desa does is he looks for the commonality in the various recipes and then formulates a single recipe based on that commonality for a specific dish, which ultimately yields the final recipe. Desa adds, "Once the test groups are satisfied, we can commercialize the recipe using Goya ingredients or create the ingredients we need to make the recipe."
Desa feels that he can readily leavage the brand's commitment to authenticity and refine Latin American cuisine in many ways. Goya allows him a good deal of latitude to re-create a touch of classic Latino homestyle cooking going from the test kitchens and to the shelves and refrigerator/freezer sections of local supermarkets around the world.
Today, isn't it all about convenience? Goya has officially cornered the Latino convenience food market quite nicely. With their appointment of Chef Desa to their executive team [Goya] has truly expanded its horizons. This was quite clear when I finally met up the chef at the SOBEWFF held in Miami Beach, February 20 – 23, 2014. We met up right before the Grand Tasting on Sunday the 23rd at Goya booth. He is young, handsome and oh so very charming. Do not let those qualities fool you though. It was clear right from the start that he was in-charge. His staff awaited his orders and moved into action. A true chef!
He quickly put together two excellent dishes for the SOBEWFF crowd to enjoy. Of course, I had the first sampling. And let me tell you, they were both delicious.
Chef Desa job is not an easy one. It is extremely challenging and highly creative and with a whole lot of pressure. There is no doubt he is up for it. Under his leadership Goya will be putting out new products and recipes on a regular basis. Big things will surely be cooking at Goya now that he is in the kitchen.
Well, I feel inspired. I am off to cook up some paella…but where did I put that paella pan?

I'm trying to download Ubuntu 12.04.2 onto my USB. So far I have a ISO to USB file downloaded onto my hard drive. When I try to copy it to my USB, I'm asked for an .iso file, but I cannot find it. What's wrong?
Copying the iso directly to your usb drive will not work. You need to use a special program to make the usb drive bootable and then copy the files over. Take a look at this site. You'll find both programs and tutorials.
When you download Ubuntu, it should come as an .iso file. When it is finished downloading (during download, it will be a ".crdownload" file for Google Chrome and ".part" or something similar for Firefox), you must use an application to burn it to your USB drive. Ubuntu comes with one such application called "Startup Disk Creator." If you are using Windows, you can download Lili from http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ , I find it nice to use. In either of these applications, you select the .iso of Ubuntu you downloaded, your USB drive, and let it do the rest!
I hope this helped!
Follow these steps from the official Ubuntu site.

By Danza Johnson/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Two fugitives have been arrested after police asked the community for help in finding them and three others.
One of those arrested, Guy William Powell, was wanted for embezzlement under contract. But it was the other fugitive, Robert Gardner, who generated the most interest, because he is charged with knowingly exposing others to HIV.
Gardner is accused of having unprotected sex with at least two women after knowing he had contracted the HIV virus five years ago. Police Chief Tony Carleton said an outraged community helped police find him.
The response came after Saturday's Daily Journal reported that the police wanted the public's help in finding the fugitives: Gardner, Powell, Adam Harris, Lavontay Harris and Rogelio Sanchez Roman.
Two people have come forward and said they've had unprotected sex with Gardner, and Detective Lynette Sandlin said she expects to hear from more people soon.
However, several people contacted the Daily Journal anonymously to say they had sexual relations with Gardner.
One woman said she was pregnant after having sex with Gardner and since has found out she has HIV.
In a letter to the Daily Journal, the woman wrote: "Looking back on those two unprotected encounters I had with him, Robert was smug, complacent and almost proud. Two weeks later I was informed I was HIV positive and pregnant."
The woman said she stayed with Gardner a year after she contracted the virus and broke up with him after she found out he'd done it to other women.
"At the end of our relationship Robert looked me in the face and said I was not the only one and that I had no idea how many people he had infected after me," said the woman in the letter. "It has to stop, no one deserves death, no one deserves this disease."
The woman in the letter said she didn't press charges because she was embarrassed and because her HIV status would be reported.
Gardner was initially charged in 2009 with exposure to HIV, but police were unable to locate him. With the newest charges, his bond was set at $1 million because Justice Court Judge Ricky Thompson considered him a threat to the community.
Exposure to HIV carries a minimum sentence of three years and a maximum of 10 years per count.
Sandlin encouraged other victims to respond. "We want to get people the medical attention they need," she said.
Sandlin said Gardner also violated a health department court order that restricted him from having sex. That too is a felony.

Wedding season is right around the corner, and we're looking out for our engaged girls. You have more important things to do than look for toasting flutes or find the perfect pair of backup flats for dancing the night away. Let us round up some detail pieces for your big day in our new feature, Bliss Blush, while you go get a massage or enjoy a glass of celebratory champagne - you can never have too many!
Maybe you splurged on Louboutins for your wedding, or maybe you're strutting down the aisle in a $25 pair you snagged on super sale. Either way, after a day of posing for photos, socializing during cocktail hour and having a first dance, your feet might need a break. Before you dance your bustled booty off, consider slipping into a pair of comfy flats so you don't spend your honeymoon nursing blisters.
1. Yosi Samra Ballet Flat ($55 - $59) Available in, no joke, over 40 colors
2. Steve Madden I-Dreemy ($100)
3. Nine West Rosabella ($79) also in Black and Red
4. Born 'Lovely' Flat ($85)
5. Report 'Lilburn' Studded Flat ($60) also in pink, black and grey
6. Steve Madden Kinnetic ($59)
Love those choices! I, however, am a budget, year-out-of-college bride, and the prices on some of those "cheaper" flats are more than I was even planning to spend on my "expensive" wedding shoes. I was looking at this pair from Target, looks similar to the Maddens but at less than 1/4 the price! http://www.target.com/Mossimo-Supply-Co-Glitter-Ballet/dp/B0042UFXQ0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&searchView=grid5&keywords=glitter%20flats&fromGsearch=true&sr=1-2&qid=1302205484&rh=&searchRank=target104545&id=Mossimo%20Supply%20Co%20Glitter%20Ballet&node=1038576%7C1287991011&searchSize=90&searchPage=1&searchNodeID=1038576%7C1287991011&searchBinNameList=subjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&frombrowse=0
Seriously, are you guys mind readers? I've been looking for a pair of flats for my sister's reception!

Food Network Challenge Sesame Street Cakes
...Until thirty minutes after the clock started, Heather severely burned her hand with sugar that was heated to 340 degrees. Our judge, Kerry Vincent, was the first one to come to our rescue. While the producers were bringing us bandages and burn ointment and calling the peremedics, Kerry and I were wrapping Heather's hand. I thought for sure that our day was over.
I don't know how she did it, but Heather kept working! I thought I could just get the muppets finished and submit them for judging. Heather was responsible for the two large cakes in our peice. I never imagined that she would be able to continue such a huge job with that hand in such pain. There was no stopping her.
My character was Elmo and I designed the cake as a Sesame Street parody of Food Network Challenge. Sesame Street has always used parodies on their show to entertain parents and older siblings. It's a great idea and I thought I would pull this parody idea into my cake.
Elmo is the star of my parody cake, as he has just been named the winner of the Monster Network Challenge. He is standing on top of the judges table holding his winning cake in the air. His assistant, Goldfish Dorothy, has her gold medal around her fish bowl. The host of the show, Cake'in Gerhard (Keegan Gerhard), holds Elmo's medal in his hand. The two judges, Cookie Vincent (Kerry Vincent) and Patrick Cakestand (Partick Coston), look on with excitement.
Here you see me talking to the third judge, Carol-Lynn Parente, executive producer of Sesame Street. At that point, she was sold on my idea.
The whole set is very calm and quite all day.
I made Elmo out of rice cereal treats and red modeling chocolate. The fur was modeling chocolate that I pulled through a pasta attatchement on the Kitchen Aid mixer. I think Elmo took me two hours to finish. We were so behind with Heather's burn.
There's Patrick looking over our judges' table cake. I try hard to read him when he comes around my kitchen.
Keegan is looking at the cake after I got Elmo and Cookie on. He gave me a big smile!
I'm starting to work on my third muppet, Patrick Cakestand. For some reason I was able to finish him in half the time which gave me some time to help Heather catch up.
The finishing touch on Patrick was his uni-brow. The real Patrick hated this, but I told him that I gave him the uni-brow because his eye brows are the only hair he has on his shaved head. Plus, the uni-brow is a classic muppet feature.
On to my fourth and final muppet, Cake'in Gerhard.
The chef's coats were made from a wonderful and unusual sugar product called Sugar Veil. It is pure white and very shiney. I was able to cut the pieces from large sheets that I had made.
Heather and her burned hand....Still working with a smile!
With thrity minutes left, all four muppets are up and ready. Now it's time for Elmo's cake and poured sugar fish bowl (the cause of Heather's burn).
Rush, rush, rush.... Getting little details finished as best we can.
I had to climb a ladder to get Elmo's cake up. The entire cake stood almost 5-feet tall.
Here's the winning cake. Mike McCarey's Big Bird. It was incredible. I've never seen a cake that perfect in person. He deserved his win!
Mariane Carroll's Cookie Monster cake. So cute! I loved the chef's hat and the smiling stick of butter.
Roland Winbeckler's Oscar The Grouch cake. It was great. The sugar "trash" he made at the bottom of the cake was fantastic!
So, by now you know that we didn't win. But we got the silver medal. We were both so proud to have finished the cake, especially under those circumstances.
Our cake still makes me laugh.
The judges, both sets, posing with the cake.... Classic!
Here's Mike McCarey. Check out his website. You won't believe his cakes. http://www.mikesamazingcakes.com/
Here are Marsha and Roland Winbeckler http://www.winbeckler.com/
Marianne Carroll and Lauren Bozich http://www.whiteflowercake.com/
Here are Kerry and Cookie. A match made in Heaven!
Ahhh, the silver medal. Next time gold....?

Greetings from the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean.ReplyDelete
I loved this episode! All the cakes were incredible and I bet the judges had a hard time choosing a winner.
I would have loved to visit Sesame Street and chat with the muppets especially Big Bird.
Your cake was just fantastic! I loved the muppet judges. That idea was easily the best in the competition and the outcome made me laugh especially Kerry's headband.
Hi Lauren!ReplyDelete
This is Kathryn's friend Carrie. Congratulations on another great challenge! I LOVED that cake. The parody idea was genius and super creative. You are so talented, and the camera loves you. It is fun watching you do these challenges, because you clearly love your work. I see a gold medal in your future. I can't wait to see your next challenge!
we LOVED the show!!! you did such a fabulous job!!!! hope to see ya'll soon!!ReplyDelete
love you!!
adelle & jeremy
Hi Lauren! We just caught the episode on food network yesterday and we loved your cake to bits!ReplyDelete
Its 5:12 pm 8/9/09 I am watching this episode and I saw the outcome before I saw the ending... bummer! Well I thought your idea was the best and I was hoping you would get the Gold... sorry about your friend getting burned like that Ouch! A friend of mine spilled a pot of hot caramel on her food not too long ago also! I live in the Mesquite area and I love to bake I am a beginner I bake from the "3 instruction boxes" LOL! But my dream wedding cake is sketched into my brain... when I find the groom I would love for you to bake my cake!ReplyDelete
Your cake was fantastic. I hope that Heather's hand has healed. I watch Food Network Challenge regularly, and I have never seen a cake come out so exactly like the original sketch! The Muppetized judges were absolutely fantastic!! Kudos to you on completing such an ambitious cake! Well done.ReplyDelete
Lauren, what a wonderful cake. I had so hoped you would win when you muppetized the judges. I had paused the show to cook dinner, and lost the show right when the winner was to be announced because cable switched me over to House, which I had set to record. So, I just had to come looking to see who won. I am sorry you did not get gold - this time - but you did a fabulous job and in the face of such adversity! Congratulations!ReplyDelete
Interesting blog, i usally be aware all about all different kind of sofware. i am online all the time, and this action allowed me to see a site costa rica homes for sale and i like it too much, beyond all doubt without my computer and a great network i never would have seen this site too.ReplyDelete

Libman to receive OFIC honor
Heidelberg Board Chair Sondra Gerhardt Libman, '67, will be inducted into the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges Hall of Excellence in April.
In selecting inductees for its Hall of Excellence, the OFIC considers qualifications such as commitment to private higher education through fundraising, advocacy, student engagement, volunteerism or other service; achievement in professional career or field of service; and leadership in chosen field. Inductees are alumni of OFIC member institutions.
When she is inducted, Sondra will join an elite group of Heidelberg alumni in the Hall of Excellence, including Russell Gifford, '62 (inducted in 1992); the late Ralph Besse, '26 (2000); and Trustee John Q. Adams, '58 (2009).
The Class of 2013 also includes Harold W. Burlingame of Muskingum University, retired executive vice president of AT&T and Clifford D. Shields of the University of Mount Union, retired director of education relations & corporate contributions at Standard Oil Co.
Nominations sought for annual Curns Awards
Is one of your colleagues worthy of one of the Jeannine Curns Distinguished Service Awards for 2012? Nominations are currently being accepted for the annual awards, including one each for administrative and support staff.
To make your nomination, you can use the form at www.heidelberg.edu/offices/business/serviceaward.
Deadline for nominations is Jan, 18, 2013.
The award will be presented at the Faculty & Staff Recognition Luncheon on Jan. 31.
For Joan McConnell, a special recital and a special organ
When Joan Holder McConnell presents her faculty recital on Jan. 27, her program will include the premiere of a very special piece.
For the recital, which she has titled Baroque and Beyond, Joan will perform a piece composed by her husband, Dr. Doug McConnell. The piece, A Trinity Suite, was written for organ and trumpet with soprano and baritone solos and choir. It is based on three American hymn tunes, representing the three persons of the Holy Trinity.
Accompanying Joan will be music faculty members Thaddeus Archer on trumpet, soprano Dr. Carol Dusdieker and baritone Dr. Greg Ramsdell. The Heidelberg University-Community Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Paul Mayhew, also will perform.
This recital begins at 3 p.m. and will be held at Trinity UCC.
On Dec. 28, Joan played a recital of early organ music on the Dutch "cabinet organ," housed at the Toledo Museum of Art.
This small (one manual, no pedals) organ was built ca. 1785 by Dutch builder Johannes Strumphler. Completely contained in a wooden cabinet, not unlike a piece of dining room furniture, the organ would have stood in a (presumably wealthy) home. The air supply is generated by a foot pedal which might have been operated by a servant back in the 18th century. The person who operates the foot pedal (for this performance, Robert Rudolph of Toledo) must stand on one leg and pump with the other. The organist must also stand, as there is no bench and no "knee room" for sitting.
In a virtual tour of the 16th-18th century European organ world, Joan played works by D'Aquin, Cabezon, Frescobaldi, Stanley, Sweelinck, Zachau and Walther.
The concert was part of the museum's Great Art Escape, programming for the weeks between Christmas and New Year's Day.
Admissions welcomes
new staff member
The Office of Admissions is pleased to welcome Dr. Cinzia Mancini-Cross to the Heidelberg family. Cinzia is joining the staff as the associate director for international and graduate admissions. She will work with prospective undergraduate and graduate international students as well as domestic graduate students.
Cinzia received her Ph.D. in parks, recreation and tourism management from Clemson University as well as degrees from Bowling Green State University and Universita di Roma in Rome. She has relocated to Tiffin from Greenville, S.C., where she had been teaching language courses at Clemson.
The position at Heidelberg is actually a homecoming of sorts for Cinzia. She taught French, Italian and dance at Heidelberg in the mid-'90s.
Welcome back, Cinzia!
Faculty Wind Quintet to
entertain Jan. 29
The Faculty Wood Quintet will play its winter concert at The University Commons at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29.
Members include Lori Akins (flute), Melissa Bosma (oboe), Barb Specht (clarinet), Carrie Taplin (horn) and Eric Rutherford (bassoon). Melissa and Eric are new members of the quintet this year.
Join your colleagues for lunchtime entertainment that features light works for quintet by Ferenc Farkas, Anton Reicha, Andrejs Jansons, Pacquito d'Rivera and Ottorino Respighi.

- Sunday, Jan. 20 – 6-11 p.m.
- Monday, Jan. 21 – 6-11 p.m.

Dr. Barbara Specht (music) attended the Midwest Band/Orchestra clinic in Chicago Dec. 18-21. The conference is the world's largest instrumental music education conference and draws close to 20,000 attendees from 50 states and about 40 countries. Its purpose is to provide information through lectures, clinics and demonstrations to music educators, supervisors and students.
Music students chosen for honor band, ensemble
Nine music students have been selected for the Ohio Private Colleges Instrumental Conductor's Association Collegiate Honor bands. They include Anthony Narvaez, Catie Haynes, Cassandra Purcell, Michael Lee, Bobbi Custer and Katie Stephens. Students selected for the Collegiate Honor Jazz Ensemble include Kyle Sherepita, Lucas Walter and Kyle McDonald.
In addition to the students who will perform, Dr. John Owen will serve as a guest conductor of the OPCICA Concert Band, conducting a piece newly commissioned by the organization.
This year's 25th Anniversary Festival celebration is being hosted this weekend by Muskingum University, with performances held at Secrest Auditorium in Zanesville. Heidelberg is a charter member of the organization, and has participated in each festival. This year's participants mark the highest number of Heidelberg students ever selected for the festival.
Board extends president's contract
The Board of Trustees has announced that, in accordance with terms of President Rob Huntington's 2012-17 employment agreement, his contract has been extended an additional year.
In making the announcement, Board Chair Sondra G. Libman explained that Rob was given a rolling contract designed to automatically turn into another five-year contract at the end of the first year and every year thereafter. As a result, the new contract has been extended to June 2018. Sondra said she looks forward to many more such extensions.
"There is a valued relationship between the board, President Huntington and the entire Heidelberg community," she said. "We wish to have this relationship endure as Heidelberg continues to build its rightful place in the upper echelon of colleges and universities."
Psych majors to present research
As part of their Junior Year Experience, three psychology majors are preparing to present their research at a professional conference.
Kayla Graves, Ashley Dean and Amber Calderelli will present their research at the Midwestern Psychological Association meeting in May in Chicago.
Kayla's topic is Sexual Hookups among College Students: Prevalence and Emotional Reactions. Ashley and Amber will co-present their work on The Participation in Greek Life and Happiness among College Students.
Psychology professor Dr. Ginny Gregg explained that through the new Junior Year Experience, psychology majors choose between an internship, study abroad or an individual research project.
Host families sought
Heidelberg has three new Chinese students this semester, two of whom are still in need of host families.
The Host Family Program matches local families with international students in a cultural exchange. The program is designed as an outreach to the students, helping them to experience American life beyond the university setting.
Most of the meetings center on routine family-type activities. Meet once or twice a month or as your schedule allows. Several activities for the students and their families will be scheduled by my office throughout the year.
If you have questions about the program or are interested in participating, please contact Julie Arnold at email@example.com.
Honoring a poet's spirit
Heidelberg held the fourth annual William Stafford Birthday Celebration Thursday in honor of the famed poet. Participants shared favorite Stafford poems in the spirit of his enduring belief in the ultimate goodness of humanity and nature. As part of the program, the winners of the Stafford First-Line Poem Competition were announced. Sharing first place this year (pictured with organizer Dr. Bill Reyer and Hannah Long-Higgins) are Emma Markley and Brandi Aldrich. Hannah provided an interpretive reading of "The Way It Is" and faculty, staff and students shared readings of their favorite Stafford poems.
Eye on Athletics
The winter athletic teams are heating up.
Men's basketball, coached by Anthony Gholson, is 9-7. Their four-game win streak was snapped on Wednesday. In the loss, senior Dane Givner cracked the top 10 on Heidelberg's career points list. On Saturday, the team will hold their annual Alumni Game festivities. More than 25 former players are set to return to campus.
Women's basketball stands at 5-11. The team, coached by Marcie Alberts, has already surpassed last year's win total. Last Saturday, Kathleen Phillips became the 13th player in program history to join the 1,000-point club.
After a 36-6 drubbing of Baldwin Wallace on Tuesday, Heidelberg wrestling, coached by Ned Shuck, is 2-0 in home dual matches this year. Senior Andy Lovins is undefeated when wrestling at the 197-pound weight class. Andy was also named OAC's Scholar Athlete of the Month. Freshman Colin McDermitt, ranked ninth at the 133-pound weight class, has only lost four matches all season.
Indoor track and field is prepping for their first meet of 2013. The team, coached by Briana Hess, will compete at the Northwest Ohio Meet at the University of Findlay this weekend.

Butter Krisp Diner Fun Facts
In the U.S. alone, more than 10 billion donuts are made every year.
National Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday in June. In 1917,
Salvation Army female volunteers known as "lassies" prepared
thousands of fresh donuts to the homesick soldiers that served in
France during World War I. The largest donut ever made was an
American style jelly donut weighing 1.7 tons, which was 16 feet in
diameter and 16 inches high in the center. The hole in the center of
the donut appeared in the first half of the 19th Century and allows the
donut to cook more evenly.

Feb. 11, 2012
By Robin Thuringer
AMES, Iowa -- The Southern Illinois men's and women's track and field teams completed its competition at the Iowa State Classic Saturday inside the Lied Recreation Center. Zach Dahleen, Kenya Culmer, Malaikah Love, and J.C. Lambert each won events on the day.
Saturday's meet concluded the three-day competition which included over 50 teams including Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Miami (FL), and Missouri Valley Conference foes Northern Iowa, Missouri State, Bradley, and Wichita State.
"This meet I saw some really good performances and some that we really need to improve on going forward," said SIU head coach Connie Price-Smith.
Zach Dahleen took the first win of the day in the men's one-mile race. The junior clocked in at 4:03.01 to currently rank him third all-time in SIU track and field history.
Neal Anderson and Kyle Kirchner competed in the 3000-meter run placing seventh and tenth, respectively. Anderson finished with a time of 8:18.44 while Kirchner came in at 8:21.44
Also on the track, Senior Stephen Arvanis set a new personal record and entered the SIU record books in the men's 800m. Arvanis placed fifth in the race and now ranks fifth all-time with a time of 1:50.49. Lucas Cherry also ran the 800 placing 16th (1:53.93).
In the finals of the 60-meter dash, Amiris Warren placed 12th with a time of 7.73. Matthew Benes placed 14th in the men's 60-meter hurdles. He recorded a time of 8.26.
Kenya Culmer once again had a stand out performance in the high jump competition after setting a new school record at last weekend's Saluki Invitational. Culmer placed first with a mark of 5-08.50.
Another win in the jumps came by way of Malaikah Love who recorded a long jump of 19-06.00. Doug Palacious placed eighth on the men's side with a distance of 22-03.00. Palacious also competed in the triple jump placing fourth.
Saluki throwers Jeneva McCall and Kim Fortney placed second and fourth in the shot put with marks of 56-04.75 and 51-06.50, respectively. McCall also placed second in the weight throw with a toss of 74-07.25. Rickael Roach (5th, 64-10.00), Kim Fortney (7th, 61-02.75), and Sophia Lozano (9th, 57-08.25), also threw in the women's weight competition.
The final win of the day came from J.C. Lambert in the men's weight throw competition. Lambert posted a distance of 71-08.00 to take first place topping competitiors from Iowa, Minnesota, and Northern Iowa. The Harrisburg, Ill. native also competed in the shot put finishing fourth (57-07.75).
"We have some work to do before the MVC Championships in two weeks, we need to work towards sharpening our skills and improving on the track."
The Salukis will have their final tune-up before the MVC Championships when they travel to Charleston, Ill. on Feb. 17 to participate in the EIU Friday Night Special.

Residents of Nashville, Tenn., are asked to be on the lookout for a group of young men on the run from the law. According to CNN, at approximately 11:00pm Monday night, 32 boys escaped from the Woodland Hills Development Center. Authorities said as of this morning 15 of the runaways had either been captured or had surrendered, but the other 17 are still at large.
The drama unfolded during an employee shift change. It is not uncommon for a large number of youth to be in the yard at the same time according to the Tennessee Department of Child Services Communication Director Rob Johnson. He said that normally there are no undue concerns because the grounds are surrounded by an "anti-climb chain-linked fence" that is virtually impossible to get over.
But the resourceful teens did not let that stop them. They were able to flee by tunneling under a flimsy area of the fence. It has not yet been determined if the area had been prepared by the youngsters beforehand, or if it was a spontaneous breakout after the weakened area was discovered.
The juveniles are all three-time felons, but according to representatives of the center none of their charges include murder. Johnson said the circumstances and crimes for which the adolescents had been detained ranged from "running away, burglary and theft, violent crimes, drug-related crimes, foster care problems and mental health needs."
The boys that took flight ranged in age from 14-19. It has not been determined whether or not they have dispersed into smaller groups, or went their individual ways. There were 78 detainees at the center at the time of the escape.

In the aftermath of the massive 8.2 magnitude earthquake that hit off the coast of northern Chile on Tuesday, tsunamis have affected nearby coasts in South America. In Hawaii, a tsunami advisory is still in effect until further notice, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center at 4:40 A.M. Wednesday morning.
While the first waves of the tsunami have been small, people and boaters are still being warned to stay away from the shores and harbors. With all the aftershock earthquakes off the coast of Chile, it is creating more waves heading to Hawaii. It is not safe to be in the waters.
Hawaii News Now has live coverage of the tsunami waves. In their newscast this morning, they showed what wave activity normally looks like with patterned and even distribution of the wave on the shore. Then, there's video of the tsunami waves coming in a disorganized manner. Surges have been recorded as large as 3 feet so far and usually the largest are the first few waves. There are also strong currents projected, which has caused a small craft advisory as well.
Beaches are closed early this morning, each county having its own closing hours. Stay out of water until the tsunami advisory is lifted.

President George W. Bush had a lot of screw-ups during his eight-year term, but he did do a couple things right. One of them was proclaiming June as Black Music Month on May 31, 2002. June is here,* and to celebrate Black Music Month, I'll be featuring one of my favorite artists each day, sharing my first or most personal memory of them, and explain what their accomplishments are and why I felt they should make the Black Music Month Top 30 list. There will be some oldies, some newbies and some artists you may not know of yet.
Black Music Month Heat Factor "Why's this artist hot?": If you've seen her YouTube videos singing Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come," Etta James "At Last" and Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," that's proof enough that her voice is phenomenal. I'm not convinced that most of today's new R&B artists could pull that one off. Regardless of the final turnout, she sang her butt off on all five of her albums, 1994's "Brandy," 1998's "Never Say Never," 2002's "Full Moon," and 2004's "Afrodisiac." I will admit that I never heard 2008's "Human**." After listening to "A Change is Gonna Come" at least 10 times, I'm going to pick up "Human" before Black Music Month is over.
Brandy is currently one of the stars in VH1's "Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business" and in the studio with super producer Timbaland. She's exploring music opportunities as a rapper going by the name Bran'Nu. Originally I wasn't thrilled by this idea, but when I saw her rhyme, all I kept thinking was "Not bad. Not bad at all." From her collabo with MC Lyte and Queen Latifah on "I Wanna Be Down (Remix)" to her on-screen relationship with Onyx's Fredro Starr, I always expected her to like hip-hop. I just never thought she'd rap. I'm looking forward to hearing the final product because her performance on VH1's reality show was excellent. I can't say I always agree with her decisions on the reality show, but as an artist, I respect her 100 percent.
First Memory, Most Personal Memory of the Artist: I listen to R&B and hip-hop music today, and everybody's talking about crush this and sex that. When I was coming up, it was still rather cliché for women to just be hopping on anybody. There were also more positive female artists (both in hip-hop and R&B), and one of them was Brandy. Now 31, she was close to my age and I admired her on the show "Moesha" so much because she showed that you can get the guy without being easy, and boy, did she get some of the finest guys to play her boyfriends on that show. That sitcom for me was the black version of "Blossom," and I loved both. She was fun to watch on "Thea" too, although at the time, I was more focused on Jason Weaver. There were multiple other African-American drama comedy sitcoms with positive female role models on the show, but when the cameras were off and when she was singing, she still seemed to be Moesha. There aren't too many actresses I can say reflect their characters.
On top of it all, she wasn't afraid to dance and could sing her butt off. I've been a supporter of her music since her 1994 self-titled album when she was singing "Baby," but my favorite song was "Sunny Day." I heard "I Wanna Be Down" on the radio two times a week or so ago and (badly) sang along like I was really her.
Accomplishments from the Artist: She's sold over 25 million albums and won the following awards—Best New R&B Artist (Billboard Music Awards), R&B-Hip-Hop New Artist of the Year (Soul Train Music Awards), Hot 100 Sales Single of the Year (Billboard Music Award), 1999's Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group (Grammy Award), Kids Choice Awards, MN Video Music Awards, American Music Awards, NAACP Image Awards, TMF Awards, Congress of Racial Equality Award and the list goes on.

** I listened to "Human" shortly after writing this piece. My favorite songs by her are "I Tried," "Say You Will," "How I Feel" and "Should I Go" from the "Afrodisiac" album. Her 2012 album "Two Eleven" was even better, specifically "So Sick," "Slower," "Let Me Go," "Put It Down," "Do You Know What You Have" and my favorite song off the album "Can You Hear Me Now."

The game loaded well. It allowed me to sort out my character how I wanted spending time in slecting certain force specialities and when the music clip started with the story line writing star wars style I was like a little kid again.
After this the game crashed. I was devastated!!!!!!. I have seen on many web site forums many many people stating the same problems. I have windows 7 intel core 3 new laptop. But I have also seen that the intel video thing for my computer and hope that thsi will not be the problem stopping me playing this great game????
I have updated drivers as well but nothing.......Please please please can someone help me.....I have gone through all the steps listed on this forum which are in great detail but still it crashes in the same place please someone must have a solution???? It cant just not work work intel videos as there must be a large amount of us in same position and that would alienate a market. I am based in th uk!!!!!

UPI reports: "The Army kept a soldier whistle-blower in a locked psychiatric ward at its top medical center for nearly two weeks despite concern from some medical staff that he be released, according to medical records. The Army then charged him nearly $6,000 for the stay at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, billing records show. 'They are definitely retaliating against me,' said Army Reserve Lt.

Kids love to draw on walls. Why not hang something cute and washable on the wall so they can doodle their hearts out without the mess of having to repaint? We like these Chalkboard Animal Removable Decals ($56). Since you use chalk as your medium of choice, it's a bit safer than going with the dry-erase board option.
