He has also appeared on several radio and TV shows including NPR, CNN, CBS, KFI, KPFK, and Al-Hurra.

David Arquette has really appeared to have his life together the last few years, but he is now speaking out and saying that he is not sober. On Friday, Radar Online shared that he has been drinking even though he has a new baby at home. He has been to rehab before and everyone really did think that he was sober.
He spoke out about it and said, "I'm not sober. It's very hard to [work in the nightlife field and stay sober]. That's probably why I'm not sober." Arquette didn't stop there. He went on and said, "It's hard. If you want to be sober in nightlife, good luck! Go to a lot of [AA] meetings."
Back in 2013, news came out that David was sober but then fell off the wagon. It was in 2011 that he needed to go to rehab. Things got really bad when he was out at a club and smashed his nose on the ground while trying to do a dance called the worm. It was obvious at the time that he needed help.
David Arquette has two children and a new fiance. His son is only four-months-old. It looks like he is handling his situation right now and things are okay for him. The fact that he isn't sober does worry fans though. This actor has been known to get into trouble in the past so hopefully he can keep his act together this time.
As of right now, David is not admitting that he needs to head back to rehab or anything. He is simply speaking out and saying that with all of the work he is doing in night clubs right now that he is not sober anymore. Hopefully things continue to go well for him and his new baby boy Charlie West.

Disneyland tickets coupons
Hi everyone,
If there is a better place to put this post just let me know. I wanted to see if anyone know where or how I could get a coupon or discount for Disneyland tickets this summer? It is for two adults and one child for one day only both parks.
I don't know about discounts but have you ever been? If not, id recommend getting a 2-day park hopper pass. I know you said one day only but both parks are quite large and its hard to get both parks covered in one day. Good luck on your search for tickets .

Only two things come to mind when I think of Milwaukee - beer and Laverne & Shirley.

2008: An Olympic Year!
Posted 03 May 2005 - 02:21 AM
(The Milwaukee 2032 Summer Olympic Games is filmed in front of a live studio audience!)
Posted 12 July 2006 - 08:53 AM
1. The population is dropping
2. It does not have enough sports venues
3. It does not have a adequate football or track and field stadium!
4. It does not have light rail system
5. It does not have a large enough convention center!
The only sports venues Milwaukee currently has are:
Miller Park
Bradley Centre
J. Martin Klotsche Centre
Al McGuire Centre
US Cellular Arena
Posted 20 October 2009 - 04:42 PM
This is blatantly false. The population is increasing by roughly 4% in the Milwaukee Metropolitan area.
1. The population is dropping
Estimates for greater metropolitan region put it well over 2 million residents and growing.
2. It does not have enough sports venues
How many cities that have hosted the Olympics in the past HAVE had enough sports venues? Very few-- this is the whole point of giving time to the cities to prepare/build the venues and infrastructure needed before the Olympics.
3. It does not have a adequate football or track and field stadium!
There have been talks in the works for some time now to build a stadium for an MLS team-- this could be a stadium large enough for a collegiate football team and track and field events.
4. It does not have light rail system
Yes it will. The Milwaukee Connector is on track to being built. They are currently finalizing plans for it as well as a commuter rail system for the metro area. www.milwaukeeconnector.com is the site for the downtown street tram rail system and http://www.sewrpc.org/KRMonline/ is the site for the commuter rail. Also, Amtrak will very likely offer expanded high speed service between Chicago and Milwaukee as well as Milwaukee to Madison and Green Bay. This was a big selling point in the Chicago bid.
5. It does not have a large enough convention center!
There is a Phase II plan for the convention center that is "shovel-ready" and has been on the design table for quite some time... it wouldn't take much to pull the trigger on getting the current Midwest Airlines Center expanded for that purpose.
The only sports venues Milwaukee currently has are:
Miller Park
Bradley Centre
J. Martin Klotsche Centre
Al McGuire Centre
US Cellular Arena
In addition to those, there are also the following sports venues:
Valley Fields
Uihlein Park
The Milwaukee Mile
The Pettit Centre (Olympic facility; could be used for indoors events)
With some years of preparation, Milwaukee could most certainly host the Olympics. If there were mountains nearby, they could have already hosted the Winter Olympics long ago.

It's the equivalent of Sacramento bidding with San Francisco being close or Austin bidding with Houston and Dallas being close.

Ubuntu Server 10.10 vs. Fedora Server 14
I want to create a web-server running Mono, MySQL 5.5 and OpenLDAP running as a VM (on VMWare Workstation).
Searching "Ubuntu Server vs. Fedora Server" mostly yields flame wars and noise. There are a few good articles available but they are either out-of-date or don't offer very convincing arguments.
I know the answer is most likely to be "it depends" but I wanted to harness the collective wisdom on ServerFault and get opinions, experiences and factual information to the extent possible.
My selection criteria would be (other than what is mentioned above):
- Ease of use
- Ease of development
- Reliability
- Security

Home to Positive Atheism
Go to Previous || Next || Notes
Atheism seems to really be happening -- at least in India. Lavanam* visited recently and now is asking us to be non-participating delegates to the World Atheist Conference January 4-6, in Vijayawada. The theme is, "Positive Atheism For A Positive Future."
In India, Atheism is a very constructive force in a nation that has been ravaged by the destructive effects of superstition and religious classism. It was the Atheists, for example, who organized the burial of the victims of the big flood. In India, the Atheists seem clearly to be the good guys. What about in the United States? What is our image? What have we done since Paine, Franklin, and Jefferson managed to keep religion out of our government?
Jerry and I bicker back and fourth about the role Madalyn Murray O'Hair has played. Jerry reluctantly insists that we would not know each other had it not been for the work of Ms. O'Hair. I agree, but she may have taken the public's image of Atheism back to the stone age with her attitude. But would a more congenial O'Hair have been as effective?
We're both probably right. The question is, where do we go from here? And what should our next tack be?
Sure, we can attract attention by "editing" a Gideon's** or picketing a Chaplains' convention -- but is that all we are about? Is that the image we want? Is Atheism only "anti"? And does being "anti" bring good?

Helen Woodward Animal Center, HWAC, the progressive, private, non-profit animal rescue organization located in Rancho Santa Fe, California, makes it their business to save animal lives and teach this to animal welfare leaders around the globe. They have been successful in their endeavors since 1972 because their efforts are not every day mundane type activities. They have fresh, inspirational ideas that attract the public and get the entire family unit involved.
All that being said, HWAC is getting ready to host their 26th Annual Spring Fling Gala, "Down the Rabbit Hole," on Saturday, June 7th. They are facing a small dilemma, however. They are still in need of an incredible, animal-loving wait staff that are willing to hop in and save the day; helping orphaned animals along the way!
The Gala is the Center's largest annual fundraiser each year. This year the event is being presented by EDCO.
Guests will begin arriving at 5:30 p.m. and will begin their departure at midnight. The event is being held at the Fairbanks Village Plaza right in Rancho Santa Fe.
Before attendees can celebrate this black-tie journey into Wonderland, however, The Mad Hatter Fling Committea, headed by Committee Chairs Marlaine Fetzer & Rebecca Vigil, is still seeking local servers (age 21+) with a few hours to spare for the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center.
With its renowned 5-star dining experience, highlighting delicious tastings from over 20 of San Diego's top restaurants, the anticipated annual event is impossible to put on without the loving hands of an impressive group of dedicated wait staff. Spring Fling Restaurant Chair Anne Dizney has secured a delectable restaurant lineup including such fine-dining favorites as Searsucker Del Mar, The Fish Market, Casa Sol y Mar, The Melting Pot La Jolla, Truluck's Seafood, Steaks & Crab House, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, and Pamplemousse Grille, to name a few.
"These wonderful restaurants are made up of true animal-lovers," stated Dizney. "They donate their time, food and chefs to create some of the finest dishes served throughout the city. The incredible volunteers who donate their time to serving these dishes are the final and equally important part of the equation. We are so grateful to them."
After dinner is complete, the guests of the evening will toast each other on their "Unbirthdays" with local beer, wine and spirits. The entertainment for the evening will be provided by The Heroes.
Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for the opportunity to win one of two extraordinary Wine Cellars (one valued at $1,000 and the other valued at $2,000). There will be exciting special guest appearances, fuzzy VIPs and a rousing live auction to keep the crowds enticed.
The live auction will feature such exclusive items as a relaxing Hawaiian holiday, a New York City vacation in a sky-high Penthouse boasting an impressive art collection and amazing views of Central Park and VIP concert experiences! Each auction item is as exciting as the previous and will all be up to bidders discretion.
Tickets to the 26th Annual Spring Fling Gala can be purchased in Silver, Gold and Platinum levels (ranging from $250 - $500 a ticket) with various special amenities included at each level. Platinum level seating includes a true VIP experience from private dining and bar servers, two bottles of fine wine, a chocolate and port pairing digestif with artisan cheeseboard, priority check-in/out, valet service, a charming Wonderland souvenir and an exclusive VIP gift for each guest.
But before any of these wonderful activities commence, volunteers are desperately being sought. If you would like to volunteer your services to either bartend or serve the guests at HWAC's 26th Annual Spring Fling Gala, please contact Manager of Volunteer Services Megan McCarty at email@example.com. For more information on the Gala or to purchase tickets, contact the White Rabbit at 858-756-4117 x350 or firstname.lastname@example.com. All profits raised support the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Sonic the Hedgehog by VladimirJazzWatch

Sonic the Hedgehog at Green Hill.
Awesome job! :3
This is one of the coolest Sonic pictures I've seen on DA!
Awesome job!
Awesome job!
that is soooo cool!!!!!!!
Super cool~ Love the detail on this piece.
fabulous pic!
That's very cool!!
That background looks simply phenomenal. And down below somewhere it says you drew this with a mouse... amazing.
This is really beautiful but if anything I wonder why Sonic is drawn so differently from the background.
Those are fantastic hands.
This is really beautiful but if anything I wonder why Sonic is drawn so differently from the background.
Those are fantastic hands.
Thank you! Well, I didn't draw Sonic with a mouse, that was hand-drawn and scanned in, but the background was a compilation of Photoshop elements for the most part.
Beautiful piece of work! I love Sonic when he's in action-y poses!
in the fav in ....3...2...1
in the fav in ....3...2...1
Ooooh, Cooool.
amazing detail here. i really love how you caught Sonic in that pose, and the background is absolutely epic. it's amazing, honestly, and there must be quite a bit of work behind the picture. over all, its impressive and far outstages my art ability.
Thanks, I appreciate the praises. That background to far more time than a better one would have, because I don't currently possess a tablet. So I had to do everything with point-click on Photoshop. It still looks a bit too "Photoshop"-y to me, but it's apparently served it's purpose quite well.
Such detail! I love it!!!
That is amazing!
You draw better than Sonic Team. O_O
This drawing is awesome! The background is very neat
Thank you, all of my artwork for Sonic is actually concept art for a Sonic series I've got sort of floating around in my head about the actual story of how Mobius came to be, and the history of Dr. Robotnik and the Egg Man.
yesh... thats pretty kewl.
that is AWESOME! i the bg!!!
Thanks! Yeah, I just found out recently that it's on page 2 of the most popular Sonic images of all time for Deviant Art. Pretty neat.
really amazing! love the BG
Hiyaz~ I'm Yami, and I was wondering if you possibly want a bit of advertisement for your artwork. Specifically Sonic the Hedgehog - related artwork. I've been recently made a staff member on the website "Sonic Speed Zone", and I was hoping to post and advertise some art to start of my work as a staff there. To give you an idea of what I would be doing to advertise, I would be posting this image, along with a link to your dA profile, and a recommendation to check out your artwork. Thank you in advance. If you would like, I can give you a link to the website, and (if you accept) a link directly to the website-post I plan to make.
Acceptance granted, do as you please. I'd love to have a link to the site.
Frickin' amazing.
Awesome work...
It's more than obvious you put a lot of work into it. The end result is uber amazing.
It's more than obvious you put a lot of work into it. The end result is uber amazing.

A group of 21 middle schoolers enrolled in Good Shepherd Services' afterschool program, an affiliate of Catholic Charities, visited the inner sanctum of City Hall this week, sitting down with Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray in the bullpen where senior staffers work, reported Annie Karni this week, Tuesday, March 18, 2014 in the New York Daily News.
Mayor De Blasio spent 20 minutes quizzing the kids from Good Shepherd Services about the program.
Good Shepherd Services serves more than 20,000 program participants annually.
This Catholic Charities affiliated agency seeks to address the needs of children and youth growing up in some of the highest-poverty communities of New York City.
It targets youth ages 0-25 who are disconnected or at risk of becoming disconnected and who are academically, economically and socially vulnerable, lacking the resources, ability to cope and interpersonal skills to make a successful transition to adulthood

Helpful Bodyweight Loss Plans Reviewed Jenny Craig Foodstuff
Have you at any time tried to do a "tri-suggestion" roast. The beef tri-suggestion roast is a lean, boneless roast from the base component of the sirloin.

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
I recently had the good fortune to take a tour of the construction site of the new San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge.
We took a boat out to Yerba Buena Island.
The brown structure is a temporary wooden bridge built to hold the new road deck in place until the tower cables are complete and able to hold the roadway up. The wooden structures will all be taken down when the bridge is complete.
The narrower white section on the middle and next to the old bridge will be a bicycle/pedestrian path on the bridge.
This is the elevator we took up to the bridge deck.
This is an expansion joint used to connect two separate concrete sections of the bridge deck.
The expansion joint will fit in the groove shown in the next picture.
Cal Trans is recycling old and new bridge materials when no longer needed.
Self-Anchored Suspension Span (SAS) main cable
The openings between the two roadways allow light to shine over the bay for plants and fish.
Our ride back to Oakland.
These are bird ledges that have been constructed to encourage the birds that currently nest on the existing bridge to move over to the new bridge. No birds were relocating so they hung some decoys to further entice them to move.
If you would like more information about bridge construction here are some materials available in Marin libraries.

If there's one thing chef Bobby Flay hates about the recent cocktail trend hullaballoo, it's that "most cocktails today are cloyingly sweet," he says. "You should think of your drink like a vinaigrette. It needs to be balanced." And thus was born Flay's recipe for orange mint julep.
It starts with orange-flavored simple syrup—homemade, natch—but its sweetness is tempered with muddled fresh orange and mint. Bourbon, bitters and crushed ice round out a cocktail that's a little bit tart, a little bit sweet—just like the star chef himself.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – An El Salvador vs. Argentina 2011 International Friendly match today has been postponed, officials at the Estadio Cuscatlan tell news. Instead, fans tomorrow can look forward to the Argentina vs. Brazil 2011 International Friendly match (en vivo on ESPN Deportes). Argentina will attempt to continue its winning streak this September as Brazil will try to battle back from its recent losses against Germany and Paraguay.
Since July, Brazil has appeared in three international matches. But of the three, Brazil surprised news with only one win. In July, Brazil had a scoreless draw in the Copa America against Paraguay. Then in August it loss to Germany. And finally last week it beat Ghana.
Against Ghana, Brazil's only goal came from Da Silva Leandro Damiao. Against Germany, Brazil failed to score early on. Germany's Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mario Götze scored in the first seventy minutes of play. But Robindo delivered a penalty goal at the seventy-one minute mark. A late goal by Neymar at the ninety minute mark was not enough for Brazil, eventually losing to Germany 3-2.
The big surprise that made news this summer for Brazil was its elimination in the Copa America. Brazil went scoreless against Paraguay in the quarterfinals. Eventually, on penalty shots, Brazil loss, with Paraguay moving on to the semi-finals.
Coach Mano Menezes said of the loss "It's important to keep our calm after a loss and avoid thinking that it was all negative". He added "We improved after the (tough) start in the competition and we will continue working hard so we can reach the positive results in the future."
Argentina, in turn, was eliminated from the Copa America 2011 by Uruguay much the same way. Since then, Argentina has been stellar. It defeated Venezuela 1-0 and then Nigeria 3-1. Against Nigeria, Argentina goals came from Gonzalo Higuaín, Ángel Di María, and Uwa Echiejile. Against Venezuela, Nicolás Otamendi made news delivering the game winning single goal at the seventy-minute mark. For updates on Wednesday's game, click HERE.

Rumor has it that Wendy will be re-joining Peter Pan in a new permanent meet and greet close to Peter Pan's Flight.
That will be awesome. I got to meet the 2 of them together years ago.

She's one of my favorite characters!
This is AWESOME news! I've never gotten to meet Wendy, only seen her in parades. Any news on when this will be happening?

Chris called my name out to get me to look at the camera and Peter stopped and then stood in the middle of us with his chin in his hands looking from Wendy to me, I couldn't stop laughing and then he called the original Wendy an imposter and grabbed my hand and walked away. It was brilliant, they were really fun and I realised that even adults can have fun with the talking characters.

What happens when poor women suddenly go from being property to owning property? There's a change in status and power. You may wish to check out new research on what happens when women gain access to land and power, especially in places where women never owned land or had power before. The study, "Women's Land Ownership and Relationship Power: A Mixed Methods Approach to Understanding Structural Inequities and Violence Against Women" appears online since May 6, 2014 in the journal Psychology of Women Quarterly. The new research shows how women discover what happens when there's even a small rise in status and power, for example ownership of some land which opens the door to the possibility and reality of organizing a farm or other enterprise related to owning property. Domestic violence falls as women gain rights from land ownership. Changes happen when women gain access to their own land.
The litmus of any society is how it treats its women, it's landless and powerless, and its animals, plants, and environment. When women organize to develop their own land, suddenly they find that they have higher status and power. This leads to the choice to make their own decisions. The result is a discovery that ownership leads to power that then can result in more power in relationships. But sometimes the result is violence against women. And other times, domestic violence decreases when women own their own property.
How many times have women around the world listened to someone else say, "because I pay the rent/mortgage or other expenses" that such an environment means powerlessness, violence or the threat of it, emotional or financial abuse, and inequality in human rights? It's as if someone said because you're a woman, you're not at the top of the food chain as in " sorry, honey, but it looks like it has to be you," as some people figuratively say before dispatching an animal to be used to feed a group of people.
The reality could be that someone else close to you is at the top, and has power over your destiny and choices. For example, in some societies a women moves from being her father's property to being her husband's property. Throughout history, in some parts of the world, women were gathered in groups to be used as baby-making factories to produce heirs, often for one person in power. So what happens when women are given land ownership, and begin to organize their farms or other businesses?
The result is that they gain power as their farms become productive and no one is taking away what they earn from organizing their own enterprises. Now, the goal (in some societies) is to prevent someone in power from threatening the woman who's a property owner to then pay protection money to a male or group or suffer violence and/or destruction of her property.
When women gain access to their own land
The change was clear and it was dramatic: "I went from being property to owning property," a woman in a remote area of Nicaragua told UC Santa Cruz assistant professor of psychology Shelly Grabe, according to the May 14, 2014 news release, "Land and power: Women discover one can lead to the other," by Guy Lasnier. Grabe wanted to know how the power dynamic between men and women might change when women owned land. More importantly, she wanted to know how the propensity for gender-based violence against women might change.
Writing in the journal Psychology of Women Quarterly, Grabe suggests that when women in developing countries own land, they gain power within their relationships and are less likely to experience violence. Grabe and co-authors Rose Grace Grose and Anjali Dutt, both UC Santa Cruz (UCSC) psychology graduate students, analyzed data Grabe collected from 492 women in Nicaragua and Tanzania in 2007 and 2009 respectively.
"Women in both countries connected owning property to increased power and status within their communities and to having greater control within their relationships," the authors write, according to the news release. Violence against women is not a matter of isolated cases but rather the result of systems of power, and it can change when the power relationship changes, Grabe found.
Not just 'bad apples'
"When we think about violence against women we often focus on isolated cases," Grabe said, according to the news release. "If we keep assuming the problem is a matter of a 'few bad apples' or 'fundamentalists' that we need to bring to justice we will never eradicate the problem. The findings suggest that if we shift the structures (thereby shifting views of women) it will also shift domestic relations which dramatically improve women's risk," she said, according to the news release.
Physical and psychological violence against women is a result of structural, gender-based inequalities such as the lack of access to resources, equal pay, and representation in politics, she said. "These inequalities grant men disproportionate power over women and as a result we see male control and dominance being exerted over women's bodies in the form of violence."
Impact of globalization
Other researchers have found that globalization is making the problem worse. In many regions of the developing world—what has been called the "Global South"—land is held in traditional ways, often communally or by male-dominated families. The term Global South is used, not as a geographical reference, but instead to reflect the socioeconomic and political divide between wealthy countries, known collectively as the North, and poorer countries often exploited in processes of globalization. Financial models in the "North" such as the International Monetary Fund and World Bank frequently require private land ownership as a prerequisite for economic aid.
"One of the consequences of the shift to privatized systems," researchers say, "is an erosion of the few rights to land that women previously held under customary or cooperative systems." Grabe worked with grassroots organizations in both Nicaragua and Tanzania for her study. Though the situations were different, she found women in newly privatized areas are using land as a proxy of power. "Property grants them rights" and the women are very strategic about it, she said, according to the news release. "They knew that if they had land they'd change the power dynamic. They were very clear about the social inequity."
Who has the rights?
Previously, women would in effect grant rights to men. "Women would say, 'he has the rights, he owns the land, he owns the cattle,'" Grabe explained, according to the news release. Those rights included a right to exert violence. Once a woman becomes a property owner she gains rights.
Grabe found that grassroots women's organizations are making a concerted effort to tackle the problem of violence against women by going to the root of the problem–structural inequality instead of intervening in individual cases with women who are targeted. "In order to address rates of violence against women we need to address the structure of inequities," she said, according to the news release.
Grabe joined UCSC in 2008. She is also affiliated with the departments of feminist studies and Latin American and Latino studies. For spring quarter, she's teaching a senior seminar in psychology and social activism. You also may wish to check out, "Women's Land Ownership and Relationship Power."

Welcome to the web site chronicling the History of the Gay/ Lesbian/ Bisexual/ Transgender Community
2012 was a year when Milwaukee and Wisconsin celebrated several anniversaries. It marked the 30th anniversary of Wisconsin's landmark Gay Rights bill becoming law. Originally known as AB70, with its signing into law in 1982, Wisconsin was the first state in the country to ban discrimination for sexual orientation. Also 2012 marked the 25th PrideFest, Milwaukee's trend-setting pride celebration. Although pride celebrations occurred prior to 1988, that was the first year of a central group coordinating the city's Gay Pride celebration. 2012 was also the year that the Cream City Foundation celebrated its 30th anniversary, well past a quarter century of grant giving to benefit the LGBT community in southeastern Wisconsin.
This web site attempts to chronicle the history of gay and lesbian life and activism throughout Wisconsin. An off-spin of the Milwaukee LGBT History Project, the webmaster seeks to extend that groups more narrow focus to encompass the inter-related growth of LGBT development throught the state, and celebrate the media that historically covered businesses, organizations, and events state-wide.
Note that although many pages at the links on the left and throughout this web site are primarily focused on Milwaukee, this is more as a result of incompleteness than exclusion. The webmaster continues to attempt to include more non-Milwaukee material. For example, see the special page covering Bars and Clubs outside the Milwaukee area.
We have created five categories to help organize this story: People; Organizations; Businesses; the Media; and Events. Each of these areas has its own section on this web site (see links on the left), and as we collect materials, we attempt to categorize and display them in this open fashion. (Note that, especially on this web site, we may edit certain materials to obscure names of living persons who may object to appearing in a public forum for privacy reasons.)
Curious what's new on the website? Check out the "What's New" page!
We Welcome Community Input
We welcome your contributions of information for this site. It is very much a work in progress. For example, we may have quite a few detailed history pages for bars, but few for other businesses or media. These will be filled in and fleshed out over time. Feel free to browse the various sections and pages herein, and send us any corrections or additions. If you have any information which might help us, please send us an email. If you have materials or archives or memorabilia to donate, contact us also.

(Please note that we will often use the terms "gay" and "lesbian" by themselves on this site. Our purpose in doing so is not to exclude bisexual, transgender, or any other persons, but to reflect accurately the historical period in question. For example, the National Gay Task Force did not add "Lesbian" to its name until 1986. Historians of bisexual activism have noted that many of the earliest "gay liberation" activists during the 1970s were bisexuals who saw no reason at the time to distinguish their bisexual identity from the gay liberation movement. Only later, when some "gay rights" activists began to use the term "gay" in a more exclusive manner, did bisexual activists and lesbians also begin wide use of exclusive terminology to represent themselves. So please look upon use of the terms as an evolution that is not always easily distinguishable at any one point in time.)

I have a standard small network setup (20 users) on Active Directory. All Windows machines have a primary DNS server as the AD and a secondary DNS server as Google PDNS. I want to setup a DNS entry that exists in real DNS but set it up on our DC so that local requests would route this public domain to a local development machine on the network.
I setup the zone in DNS which results in the clients resolving the public FQDN to our internal IP. However, sometimes it still resolves to the "real" value (I check by pinging it). Is there some way to give the zone definition in my DC DNS higher priority? Or will the client that has secondary public DNS always at sometimes have a competing entry for this zone?

Final Stats
CINCINNATI, Ohio - Cincinnati's Cashmere Wright drained a game-winning jumper at the buzzer to lift the 17th-ranked Bearcats to a 58-56 win over Alabama Saturday.
Sophomore guard Trevor Lacey led the Crimson Tide with 16 points and added seven rebounds and three assists in the losing effort. Junior Trevor Releford added 12 points and three steals, as the Crimson Tide dropped to 6-1 on the season.
"Cincinnati played extremely hard and has a very good basketball team" UA head coach Anthony Grant said. "We didn't do some things well, especially down the stretch. This is a great learning opportunity for us and hopefully will make us better. Overall, I'm proud of the effort that our guys gave today, but we just came up short."
The Tide faced a deficit of 13 points in the first half, before making a late rally.
Alabama looked to be in trouble just before halftime, trailing 33-24 in the waning seconds. But Releford drilled a three-pointer just before intermission to make it a six-point (33-27) halftime score.
That trey triggered 14-4 run, which gave Alabama its first lead of the game, 38-37, with 14:16 remaining. From there, it was a back-and-forth affair that featured five ties and eight lead changes - the final one of which came as the buzzer sounded.
For the game, Alabama shot 43.9 percent (25-of-57) from the floor, including 36.4 percent (4-of-11) from three-point range. The Tide also outrebounded Cincinnati, 37-32.
Cincinnati (7-0) came into the game averaging 87.0 points a contest, but the Tide defense frustrated the Bearcats all night. UC finished shooting just 39.0 percent for the game and 18.2 percent from beyond the arc.
Other notable performances came from sophomore guard Rodney Cooper, who finished with eight points, as well as freshman forward Devonta Pollard, who finished with seven points.
Alabama next plays this Wednesday, December 5, against Dayton in Coleman Coliseum. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. CT.

The playoff race makes a stop in Kansas City this weekend. It probably needed directions.
The Royals are on their way to yet another losing season, reduced to MLB afterthoughts since they hosted the All-Star Game – even as a second wild-card spot in each league has made contenders out of a whole new (middle) class of teams.
The Angels arrive in Kansas City needing every victory they can get to stay in the mix for one of those wild-card spots. They have already hosted the Royals twice this season, splitting six games in Anaheim.
Before following the scent of barbecue sauce to Kansas City, we checked in with long-time Royals beat writer Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star for some perspective on the Royals. Follow Bob on Twitter @Royals_Report.
1) The Royals are headed to their ninth consecutive losing season and 17th in the past 18 years. What's different about this one?
A: I'm still living through this one.
Serious answer? It might be hard to tell from a distance, but the Royals are better. If they get two legit No. 3 starters in the off-season -- which will be the first and only real priority -- and they can think about winning the division in 2013.
I think Jeremy Guthrie (a pending free agent) is a legit 3, and the Royals have won his last seven starts. The defense and bullpen are well above average, the lineup is solid with growth potential. They just need some guys to keep them in games. Sort of like the Twins between Johan Santana and the last two years.
2) But the Royals have won 10 of their past 11 games against the top two teams in the AL Central, the White Sox and Tigers. What do you make of that?
A: The division is not very good. You just had a look at the Tigers. I think they're the best team in the division, but they're loaded with flaws. So, again, give the Royals a few reliable arms, and they're a contender.
3) Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas have both had disappointing sophomore seasons. Has that changed the evaluation of what they mean to the Royals' future?
A: Hosmer has been a disappointment, but I'd argue the point with Moustakas. I think this, roughly, is what he is -- a guy who will hit .245-.275 with 20-plus-homer pop (not bad when playing half of your games at Kauffman Stadium). Plus, his defense is better at third than anyone but Adrian Beltre.
Hosmer really hit into tough luck for the first month or so. BABIP's historical norms pretty much say it's impossible to be that unlucky. Then he started pressing, expanded the strike zone, etc., because, I think, seeing those sub-Mendoza numbers in bright lights on scoreboards all around the league bothered him.
He's hitting .264 since May 26 despite all that. Not great. Not what they expected. But not a horrible regression in the second year. (Will be curious to see if-and-how the league adjusts next year to Trout, who right now, is my MVP. And, yes, I have a vote.)
I think Hosmer bounces back next year. So do most scouts. No guarantees, though.
4) Twenty-one year old Triple-A outfielder Wil Myers has been named the Minor League Player of the Year by Baseball America and USA Today. Where does he fit in the Royals' plans – and how quickly?
A: Wil Myers comes to camp next spring with the chance to win a job. Most likely in right field, but it could be center. He's on the Hosmer/Moustakas plan. When the Royals think he's ready, he'll play somewhere. They'll find someone to sit.
5) Okay – I love Gates, Arthur Bryant's, Jack's Stack and Oklahoma Joe's. But what BBQ place are you Kansas City locals trying to hide from the rest of us?
A: Have you tried the McRib?
You've been here often enough that you've identified the major favorites. It's not just barbecue, though. Steak here is better than anywhere in the league. Look, I grew up at the shore on the east coast. And I don't order seafood here. Don't you either. But ... I've become a real steak snob after living here for 30-some years. My town is packed with great steakhouses, and you can get into big arguments here about which is best. My personal favorite is the Hereford House.
Pitching probables for the Angels-Royals series in Kansas City this weekend:

Country Hero in Vegas! : 12" Vinyl LP, CD and 7" Vinyl EP release
Source: www.elvis.com.au
February 21, 2013 - 12:28:17 PM
Elvis Presley Bootleg's, Vinyl Records, Elvis CD News
Elvis' performance on these early season nights is superb as he is still performing to the best of his ability. Although he delivers short shows they are delivered in a very intense, crisp and fresh manner that cannot be denied. Elvis was on stage to have fun and demonstrated this during the older, classic numbers, but songs such as Polk Salad Annie, You've Lost That Loving Feeling and Sweet Caroline never sounded better. The season will be remembered for the introduction of the new opening composition 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' which although written by Richard Strauss in 1894 was more closely associated with the Stanley Kubrick film '2001 A Space Odyssey', a recent cinema release. As we now know this thunderous opening would be used until the final concert Elvis performed. The season will also be remembered for the beautiful new closing number The Impossible Dream which Elvis sang with power and feeling, proof that Elvis continued to grow as a performer.
The LP is made to 140 Vinyl Gram quality and is a Limited Hand Numbered 500 Copies. It comes with a three fold 300 gram high quality GLOSSY sleeve with both sides printed, giving a unique view. The sleeve is accompanied by relevant liner notes and with many photographs of the Elvis NOW suit from the season.
This vinyl will include a bonus CD and 7" vinyl EP. In the bonus CD you have the possibility to listen the complete concert + a selection of 16 songs (32 min.) soundboard recording, coming for the previous four days shows. From the opening night January 26 you can listen the evolution of Elvis' performance during the begin of the season, we practically included all the songs performed in the January 30 DS. In January RCA released what is without doubt the best Elvis album of the 1970's, Elvis Country. In this season of Elvis performed three songs from the album. From here the EP idea came to use the three songs performed to create a special 'Elvis Country EP'. The EP comes with four songs and two fold sleeve both printed.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet.
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

Political Parties
The First Party System
- Federalists vs. Republicans, 1790s-1810s
- Federalists, led by Hamilton and Adams, wanted a powerful national government to push for aggressive economic development
- Republicans, led by Jefferson and Madison, wanted a small national government to leave the citizens mostly free of taxation or government interference
- Federalists controlled government through 1790s, Republicans dominated after 1800; Federalists disintegrated as a national party after War of 1812
The first era, or first party system, lasted from 1796 to 1816. For the first eight years of the nation's existence, George Washington provided a unifying presence. But when he retired, the nation quickly split into opposing camps along ideological lines; those two camps soon became known as Federalists and Republicans, the nation's two original political parties.
The Federalists, led by John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, believed in a strong national government. Reading broadly into the Constitution (loose constructionism), they argued that government power should be used to promote economic development through the creation of a national bank and the construction of federally-financed roads, harbors, and bridges. Federalists believed that America's economic future depended on the cultivation of strong commercial ties with Great Britain. And they argued that America's emerging manufacturing sector should be encouraged through protectionist measures such as tariffs.
The Republicans, also called Democratic-Republicans, were led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. They supported a weaker national government restricted in its powers by a narrow reading of the Constitution (strict constructionism). They feared that federal intervention in the economy would benefit only a few wealthy northeasterners, and they believed that agriculture, not manufacturing, should remain the country's economic base. Republicans opposed closer ties to Britain and tended to sympathize with the French in their revolution and subsequent war with the British.
While the Federalists dominated the government through the 1790s, they rapidly declined after 1800. Thomas Jefferson's election to the presidency was bolstered by Republican victories in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Federalists remained powerful enough to obstruct certain Republican measures for about a decade, but they were not strong enough to prevent the United States from going to war against Britain in 1812—a war the Federalists vehemently opposed. Their continuing opposition to the war, even after it began, severely damaged their viability as a national party. When the United States survived its war with Britain and won tremendous victories at Baltimore and New Orleans, the Federalists' reputation was shot—and their national political clout was over.
For the next decade—a period sometimes called "The Era of Good Feelings"—the United States was essentially a one-party nation; the Republicans governed with little opposition. But factions within the party soon emerged, and these factions—labeled National Republicans and Democratic Republicans—eventually morphed into the dominant parties that would define the second party era, lasting from 1828 to the mid-1850s.

Bypass The Harbor Tunnel Toll – Baltimore, MD
Toll Location: Baltimore Harbor Tunnel
Cost: $2.00 Each Way
How To Get Around It: There are two ways to avoid any of the three Baltimore tolls (Harbor Tunnel, Fort McHenry Tunnel, and Key Bridge). One is only for the adventurous, and should be attempted only during low traffic times. The other is much simpler, never takes you off an interstate, and adds about 10-15 minutes to your drive for a $2.00 savings.
Simple Method – Coming from the north or the south, instead of staying on I-95 through Baltimore, or getting on I-895 through Baltimore, take I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway) West until it meets back up with I-95 on the opposite side of the city. During rush hour, the West side of the beltway can be pretty congested, and the $2.00 is probably worth it. At any other time of day, there is seldom bad traffic, and you're saving $2.00 by driving an extra 10-15 minutes.
The second, more adventurous method is to go through Baltimore city. From the south, take I-95 north, and exit at I-395. Stay to the left as the freeway ends. Go past Camden Yards and turn right on Pratt Street. Go past the National Aquarium and the Inner Harbor, and then turn right a South President Street. You'll then immediately turn left onto Eastern Avenue. Take Eastern Avenue all the way to I-95 North, past the tunnel. no toll for you.
From the north, take I-95 South to Eastern Avenue East. Go a few miles until you are close to downtown. Turn right on South President Street and then take your first possible left onto East Lombard Street. Take this to Light Street, where you'll turn left. Follow the signs from there to I-95 South, past the toll.
Depending on the time of day, these methods of avoiding the Harbor Tunnel Toll may be worthwhile or they may not. Plan ahead and check local traffic conditions as you enter the area.

Respawn Entertainment posted a clarification in regards to the install size for the Xbox One version of the upcoming multiplatform video game, "Titanfall." According to a report from VG247 on Feb. 26, a representative from the development team declared that the mandatory required hard drive space will be half of what was previously announced.
Microsoft previously revealed a new system bundle for "Titanfall." The package comes with a voucher to download the first-person shooter, which requires "up to 40 GB" of hard drive space, from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Respawn Entertainment has clarified, however, that the video game will only need 20 GB for installation. All Xbox One units come with a 500 GB hard drive, which could not be replaced. Users have to use external storage devices instead in order to add more space.
Similar to the PS4, Microsoft requires that all retail disc games to be fully installed on the hard drive in order to be played. Doing so should decrease loading times as well as prevent wear and tear on the Blu-ray lasers.
"Titanfall" is heading to the PC and Xbox 360 as well as the Xbox One. The video game launches first on the PC and Xbox One on March 11. It should then ship for the Xbox 360 on March 25. A batch of screens from the new intellectual property can be seen in the slideshow located to the left side of this article.

My 22 month old daughter still isnt talking, she says very few words, How can I help her to talk?
She seems to understand what I'm asking her but refuses to say any word. She says baby, ya, mama, dada, hi, fish, bye bye.. and thats it. I'm concerned that she may be behind in vocabulary. When she wants something she whines and points.. I have always talked to her using correct language..( even when she was an infant) for example when shes hungry she signs the word for eat instead of saying "eat" what should I do? please help!! Thank you! -Laura Burl, VT

I had the same exact issues with my son. He used all non-verbal cues to communicate even though I knew he completely understood and was very intelligent. My pediatrician told me not to worry, but I called early intervention anyway. It was the best thing I ever did! It takes some time to get started, but they will tell you if there's a language delay, which we had. Once therapy started, his progress has been amazing. The earlier you start, the better. Good luck to you!posted 09/29/2007 by fun2scrap
I brought my son for his 18 month check up and he wasn't talking but a few words. I was concerned. His Dr. said that TV even good programing has been shown to take away from a children speech. Children get draw into the TV program. So I took TV away for one month. I have to say his speech has improved. Even if the TV is on he doesn't get memorized by it anymore. Sounds to easy but I say just try it. TV programs are so good at keeping our children attention, back when my older children watch TV about 17 years ago, I don't think they where so draw into it. They would watch for a moment then move on. Now a days, TV you just get sucked in and so do our kids. Just my opinion. Thanks.posted 10/23/2007 by E4nina
My son didn't talk very much, but could still clearly communicate what he wanted with us. He just never really wanted to talk, no matter how many doctors we saw. It was odd because although he practically refused to talk until sometime during the trauma that was kindergarten, he started reading at the age of two. For a long time the only words we heard from him was when he was reading a sign or a book. Now at 7 he doesn't stop talking and often uses new words that he's learned from his dictionaries and books. He not only speaks fluent English, but he also understands and speaks a little of his father's native tongue. One of his doctors thinks that he was just waiting until his body had caught up with his mind and he could string his thoughts together the exact way that he wanted. We were patient, but we got a lot of outside pressure on the issue. I would say, unless you think it's an issue just wait. She'll start talking soon enough.posted 12/17/2007 by TheirMommy2Boys
My son was like that, turns out he was more interested in his fine motor skills. Now he is 23 months and is learning at least 3 new words a day. Also I had to start making him say something instead of whining and pointing. If she has had a lot of ear infections you might want to talk to your doctor about ear tubes-a lot is any more then 5 in a year. Hope that helps!posted 09/28/2007 by Camo420
my son is 27 months old and doesnt say much either. He sayd mam and dad. i had himevaluated by early intervention (through the state)and he now receives speech therapy for expressive delay. he understands fully what you are telling him but just cant express it. START EARLY!!!! Dont wait until preschool, because it can be corrected before that!posted 01/27/2008 by shellycor
I also always talked with my son using proper language (no baby talk) and he didn't say ANY words until a week before his second birthday. Not even mama or dada or bye bye. NOTHING. I was really concerened, but my dr. and our teacher both said that since it was clear he could understand us (we'd ask him questions like "where's the cow?" and he'd point to it) and that he'd communicate his needs thru pointing/whining not to worry. They also said since he was verbalizing (babbling etc) he probably didn't have delay, he was just wasn't ready. They said to record him "talking" and then compare it a month or so later to get a better idea of his progress. Sure enough, he did start talking, small words at first, words like "light", "meow" and "cat" and a month later went to things like "elevator" and "chocolate". Another month and he was saying two to three word sentences. Now, at almost five, I can't get him to shut up! And his vocabulary is WAY ahead of many kids his age.posted 06/15/2008 by francy pants
If you have a concern about your child's speech development have her evaluated by your state's early intervention system. Our son didn't qualify but they gave me some other resources and ways to help him with his speech. Turns out he was just a late talker as he is really beginning to say a lot at 27 mo. They also recommended putting him in a Mother's Day out program so he can interact with other children (I'm a stay-at-home-mom). Several friends have recommended Leap Frog Letter Factory and Word Factory videos but I haven't tried them myself yet. We read a lot of picture books with our son and having him watch our mouths as we slowly pronounce the words seems to help. If she is trying to communicate there probably isn't a problem but for your peace of mind have her evaluated by a speech therapist or early intervention. BZ, TNposted 05/27/2008 by lavenderrose
My instinct told me something was off with my daughter- she could say her alphabet and seemed to understand everything we said to her, but she wasn't using sentences by the time she was 26 months. We had her evaluated for speech delays, and now after a month of speech therapy, we are seeing slow but actual progress! My advice echos the people below- if you have any concern,have your child evaluated because the earlier you get help, the better... and to be patient, because the changes will not happen overnight!posted 03/11/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I am having the same problems with my 21 month old. I taught him some signs, and now he'd rather sign than say actual words. He doesn't mimic or repeat words, he just seems to wait to say a new word until he completely understands the meaning of it.posted 09/28/2007 by akbartley
As an early intervention special education teacher, I would highly encourage you to contact your local educational agency and look into getting your child screened. after the screening, they may look to do a formal evaluation to determine if he is demonstrating a delay in his expressive/receptive language skills, as well as any other areas. from there, they would determine if your child qualifies to receive special education services (i.e., speech therapy. regarding the comment regarding verbal apraxia - this is a more serious issue and is not something that is usually dignosed by a speech therapist - but often by a neurologist.posted 04/17/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
