Sleeping Beauty
Presented by Runaway Stage Productions at 24th Street Theatre
November 16 - November 30, 2013
The story recounts a childless king and queen who are finally blessed with a child. At the baby's christening, all the fairies are invited to bestow gifts upon the little princess. However, the Queen of the fairies does not receive an invitation and gatecrashes the event, cursing the princess to a premature death from a spindle-prick. The good fairies remedy the curse by changing a few details: the princess won't die, only sleep until woken by the kiss of a true Prince. Will true love win?
This production has original script, songs and music by Ray Fischer.

Something In The Air by Thunderclap Newman Songfacts
Thunderclap Newman were a UK Rock group formed by Jazz pianist Andy "Thunderclap" Newman, singer/drummer John "Speedy" Keen and 16-year-old guitarist Jimmy McCulloch. Pete Townshend discovered them.
Townshend engineered, arranged and played bass on this song. The Who never had a #1 hit - this was the only song he worked on that went to the top of the charts.
The original title was "Revolution," but they had to change it when The Beatles came out with a song using that title.
This was used in the 1969 film
The Magic Christian
. It was also featured in the 2000 movie
Almost Famous
and the comedy movie
. (thanks, brent - Wooddale, IL)
Townshend also produced "Accidents," which was the follow-up single and went to to #46 in the UK. The group split up soon after. Newman took up the saxophone and returned to the pub circuit. and McCulloch joined Wings before dying of heart failure in 1979. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for all above)
This was used in a commercial television advertisement campaign for DirecTV. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Per: http://www.oldiesmusic.com/news.htm
Andy 'Thunderclap' Newman, keyboardist with the British group that bore his name, died Wednesday (March 29th, 2016) in London at the age of 73...
The band was formed by Who guitarist Pete Townshend and featured Andy, John "Speedy" Keene on vocals and drums and Jimmy McCulloch on guitar. They are best remembered for "Something In The Air," a #1 hit in Britain in 1969 (#37 in the US). Though they split up in 1971, Andy re-formed the band in 2010 with a new lineup...
May he R.I.P.
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
On August 31st 1969, "Something in the Air" by Thunderclap Newman entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #82; and on October 26th, 1969 it peaked at #37 {for 1 week} and spent 10 weeks on the Top 100...
On July 2nd, 1969 it reached #1 {for 3 weeks} on the United Kingdom's Singles chart...
Note for Elvis fans: The week "Something in the Air" peaked at #37, Elvis' eighteen and last #1 record on the Top 100, "Suspicious Minds", reached the top spot for a one week stay.
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
Something In The Air became my all time favourite when I was 12 - it still is now I'm 54...
Laurence - Bognor Regis, United Kingdom
Speedy Keen wrote this song.
Adam - West Palm Beach, Fl
Songfacts does not mention Pete writing this song,which I believe he did.Can someone verify this?
Rick - Graysville, Mo
Yes McCullough was in Wings and he supposedly killed himself around 1979.
Charles - Charlotte, Nc
This song I believed epitomised the state of British music at the time - 1969. Yes the Stones had found hard drugs and were on the wane some say. I say the elevation of such acts as Genesis and Yes during this time was timely. The WHO with Pete Townsend at the helm were also awesome and to see him producing this song at the peak of his powers is no surprise. Believe me, I rate Pete as the "man" when writing an opera like TOMMY which I performed a version of at hi school in 1975 - just as the film came out - wow- it rocked - Thanks Pete and the bigger T/C Newman- that song was it !!!
Pete - Auckland, New Zealand
This is a great song from start to finish and the piano solo is rockin'. When I found out that this song and several other good songs (including "Have You Forgotten" by Red House Painters and "Take A Picture" by Filter) was on the Girl Next Door soundtrack, I was really surprised because I just assumed it was a dumb teen movie. Anyway...awesome song, although it's somewhat shockingly pro-violent revolution. Oh well, I don't really care. The vocals are interesting and are good in that they fit the somewhat dreamy atmosphere and yet are somewhat urgent at the same time- they still take a little getting used to at first though. It's interesting that Pete Townshend's apparent views on revolution would change considerably between the making of this song and The Who's "Who's Next."
Paul - Cincinnati, Oh
Regarding "The 'songfact' above about Pete Townshend isn't true: 'this was the only song he worked on that went to the top of the charts.' He produced "Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown in 1968 that was No. 1 in the UK"- I stand corrected. However 'Something In The Air was the only UK #1 that Pete Townshend or for that matter any member of The Who actually performed on.
Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England
The "songfact" above about Pete Townshend isn't true: "this was the only song he worked on that went to the top of the charts." He produced "Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown in 1968 that was No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in the US. Both songs, by the way, are excellent.
David - Youngstown, Oh
this song is also in the movie the girl next door
Sam - Christchurch, New Zealand
Is Jimmy McCulloch the same one that played in 'Wings'?
Rob - Vancouver, Canada
I just noticed that in the big orchestral "swirls" during the last refrains of "You know its right", there is a separate orchestration playing the first few notes of Marseillaise, the French National Anthem. Very cool.
Tom - Salt Lake, Ut
A little surprised that there is no mention of it also being on the soundtrack of 'The Strawberry Statement' (1970), possibly the only other movie besides 'True Grit' where Kim Darby had a starring role....Anyway, it was a MUCH better film than 'The Magic Christian'.
Doug - Lake Mary, Fl
Tom Petty sang the same song, it is towards the end of his Greatest Hits album.
Brendon - Paxton, Il

College Hockey:Power Play Lifts RIT Over Oswego, 6-3
Bournazakis' Four-Point Night Leads In Win
FREDONIA, N.Y. — Pete Bournazakis had two goals and two assists to lead RIT
over Oswego State 6-3 in the first semifinal of the Fredonia Invitational
Tournament. Both of Bournazakis' tallies and four of RIT's six goals came on
the power play.
Oswego also scored a pair of goals with the man advantage in the
penalty-filled contest, the first of the year for both teams.
The Lakers got on the board early when freshman Kevin Kleespies slammed home
a rebound during a five-on-three advantage just a minute into the game.
RIT responded at 9:10 of the first when Pete Bournazakis, parked at the
right post, tapped in a cross-crease pass from Sam Hill. Oswego
goaltender Joe Loftberg, who had come up big several times already in the
contest, had no chance on the play.
The Tigers took the lead at 12:06 when Jared Conlon poked a rebound under
Loftberg's pads. Loftberg made the initial save on a shot from the point by
Mike Walling, but was unable to cover the puck in time.
RIT opened the scoring in the second period on Pete Bournazakis' second goal
at 8:47. He deflected a pass from brother Mike just underneath the
crossbar to open a two-goal lead for the Tigers.
RIT made it 4-1 at 12:36 on another rebound goal, this one from Lanner Fayad.
Fayad took the puck from in front of the net after Loftberg had made a
sprawling save, then skated to the near post before lifting the puck into the
Shots through two periods were 30-14 RIT.
Oswego staged a third-period rally beginning at 7:25. Joe Pecoraro scored
the prettiest goal of the game by using an RIT defenseman as a screen and
ripping a rocket past the stick side of RIT goalie Tyler Euverman.
The Lakers got to within one at 12:04 with John Sullivan's power-play
goal, and the momentum had clearly shifted in Oswego's favor.
Unfortunately for the Lakers, they took some late penalties, and RIT made
them pay with a pair of power-play goals in a 30-second span to put the
game away. Freshman Mike Tarantino got the first goal of his career at 14:26,
and Derek Hahn capped the scoring at 14:56 with a blazing shot from the high
There were 25 minors in all, 13 for Oswego and 12 for RIT.
"I was hoping not to have that much special-teams play in our first game,"
said RIT head coach Wayne Wilson. "I wasn't happy with all the penalties.
Obstruction is going to be called a lot this season. I thought we made some
adjustments, but there were still too many mistakes."
"I thought the defense played well, including the three freshmen."
Loftberg made 33 saves on 39 shots; Euverman made 23 saves on 26 shots.
RIT was 4 for 13 on the power play; Oswego was 2 of 12.
RIT will now face the host Fredonia Blue Devils, who defeated Neumann 4-2 in
the other semifinal. Oswego plays Neumann in the consolation game.

Telus offers free Xbox 360 for every Windows Phone 7 device bought between December 15 and 19
Telus has a very interesting offer coming for those who'd like to buy a new Windows Phone 7 smartphone. It's actually so interesting, that it may even make people who weren't necessarily in the market for a smartphone pay attention.
It goes like this: for every new Windows Phone 7 device sold between December 15 and 19 (that's this Wednesday to Sunday), they are throwing in a free Xbox 360 gaming console. The offer applies to new contracts as well as renewals, in all locations across Canada. The Xbox 360 will not be available for pick up in stores, but will be shipped to you after you've gotten the smartphone.
The only caveat is that you'll have to commit to a new 3-year agreement for the WP7 device you choose, but that's pretty much par for the course in Canada with mobile contracts.

The Mercyhurst women's ice hockey team earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament for the 10th straight season, the first team to achieve that milestone in NCAA Division I women's ice hockey. The Lakers will travel to Ithaca, N.Y. to play Cornell in the quarterfinals for the second straight year. Last season, the Lakers upset the Big Red, 4-3 in overtime.
Last weekend Mercyhurst advanced to the CHA Championship Game with a 4-1 win over Syracuse on Friday. The Lakers have participated in every CHA championship game since the league formed in 2002-03. The next day, Mercyhurst fell in the title game to RIT, 2-1 in double-overtime, despite launching 62 shots on net, giving them a 10-2 record in CHA Finals.
The Lakers (23-8-4) and the Big Red (24-5-4) played a pair of games at the Mercyhurst Ice Center earlier this season. Game one of the series ended in a 4-4 overtime tie back on January 10, with Cornell's Jessica Campbell scoring with 5:06 left in regulation to send the game to overtime. The next afternoon, the Big Red jumped out to a 5-2 lead just past the midway mark of the second period and held off the Lakers, 6-4, after sealing the contest with an empty-netter.
Senior captain Christine Bestland leads the Lakers offensively with 51 points (20G, 31A), and ranks sixth in the nation in points per-game (1.46), but was held to just one assist in the two games last weekend. Emily Janiga is second on the team with 40 points (15G, 25A), while three Laers have each tallied 34 – Christie Cicero (16-18), Jenna Dingledein (15-19) and Shelby Bram (8-26). Molly Byrne leads all Mercyhurst blue-liners with 26 points (3G, 23A). Current sophomore Dingledein scored the overtime goal that propelled the Lakers by Cornell in last year's first-round game.
Junior Amanda Makela has started 32 of the team's 35 games this season, posting a 21-7-4 record, with a 1.79 GAA, .927 save percentage and six shutouts.
Cornell enters as the two-seed in the NCAA Tournament after winning the ECAC Tournament last weekend, with wins over Harvard (6-4) in the semifinal round, and Clarkson (1-0) in the title game.
The Big Red offense is sparked by junior Jillian Saulnier's 28 goals and 27 assists (55 points). Saulnier leads the nation in points per-game (1.67) and goals per-game (0.85). Emily Fulton is second on the team with 41 points (19G, 22A) and Jessica Campbell has contributed 40 (15G, 25A).
Lauren Slebodnick has played the majority of minutes in goal for Cornell, posting a 17-1-3 record, 2.27 GAA, .908 save percentage and three shutouts, including the one over Cornell in last weekend's ECAC final. She started both games against Mercyhurst earlier this season, as well as the NCAA Quarterfinal game a season ago.
Statistically, both teams rank amongst the national leaders in all major categories. Cornell boasts the second-highest scoring offense in the nation, with 3.61 goals per-game, while Mercyhurst is fifth at 3.40 goals per-contest. The Lakers allow just 1.80 goals to opponents, and Cornell yields an average of 2.12.
The Big Red power-play ranks fourth nationally in efficiency, cashing in on 33-of-139 opportunities (23.7%). Mercyhurst is right behind them, with the fifth-best man-advantage unit in the nation at 19.9% (35-of-176). Both penalty-kill units also rank in the top ten in the nation, Cornell, 134-of-151 (88.7%) is fifth, and Mercyhurst tenth (188-of-216, 87.0%).
Mercyhurst holds a 14-15-1 advantage over Cornell in the all-time series, but the Lakers are just 3-5-1 in the last nine meetings. It will be the third post-season meeting between the two. Prior to last season, Cornell downed Mercyhurst, 3-2, also in overtime, in the NCAA semifinals in Minneapolis in 2010.
The winner of Saturday's quarterfinal will advance to the women's Frozen Four next weekend in Hamden, Connecticut to play the winner of the third-seed Clarkson and Boston College, in a national semi-final.

The lace sheath dress has a dramatic back but simple taste. It worked nicely for our outdoor wedding and reception at a local park. Additional photos available for serious inquiries. Paypal payment. Buyer pays shipping.
- Alterations: I had the lace material on the outer loops of the shoulders tacked down by my seamstress, but it can be easily restored. The originally size 8 dress was taken in slightly to fit my measurements, but nothing was permanently altered. I'm roughly 5'7" with a 34" bust, 28" waist and the gown just grazed the ground when I was wearing a flat shoe. The train is very short and bustles up with ribbons. There are minor stains and some discoloration where the dress touches the ground. The small metal clasp above the zipper needs to be reattached.
- Preservation Method: Dress was professionally cleaned and will be shipped in a wedding dress box with acid free paper.

The Last Day Armistice, 11 November 1918
At the beginning of November 1918 the German Armies on the Western Front were nearing the end of their endurance; repeatedly pushed back by relentless Allied advances few reserves existed to fill the ranks of the fallen; morale was ebbing away. On the German home front starvation and political upheavals undermined civilian commitment to continue the struggle. It was in this atmosphere of acute military, political and social crisis that, on 7 November, German delegates to the Allied Armistice Commission made a dramatic journey across the battlefront in northern France to try and secure terms as the basis for peace.
Late that evening French authorities ferried the delegation by train to a railway siding at Rethondes, deep within the forest of Compiègne. Here, early in the morning of 8 November, the Germans were transferred to a nearby waiting train, the mobile headquarters of Marshal Foch, Head of the Allied Commission. Foch, with a deliberate sense of drama, had located the crucial meeting within the dense forest - away from public scrutiny and safe from enemy aircraft. His fully equipped train included a former restaurant saloon-car converted into an office; this railway carriage formed the scene for the historic gathering. Discussions began at 9am the first in a series of uncomfortable meetings that would lead eventually to the signing of the instrument of armistice at just after 5am on 11 November 1918, when it was agreed that hostilities would formally cease six hours later.
At 11am on a dull and cold Monday, 11 November (the 1,568th day of the war), the guns at last fell silent. In the strangest of coincidences the end of the war found units of the British Army fighting close to the same ground as they had actively begun operations in August 1914, the familiar drab mining and industrial district around the Belgian town of Mons.

Easy include JS / CSS files on specific pages
For example in articles I am using images with lightbox. I want lightbox to be enabled on specific menu items or even the whole com_content component! (I am doing it now with custom module but if it could be a built-in way this will save page-load time, less kilobytes, HTTP requests )
1 comment
Anonymous commented
Yes I am agree with you : only load the specific Js or Css for the page where is used.
And I would add :
- for a new extension added, choose if we want to use their css by default (ideal for novice user) or if we want to use our css (for advanced user). Because some extensions use several css sheets just only for some css styles = bad for http requests !
- put js on bottom (recommanded for performance) for extensions added and of course default installation of joomla !

Academia + Entrepreneurship: When Science Meets Great Business Ideas
November 18th, 2013 by Yang Zhao under Internationals at Smith, People, Say What MBAs Say, The Smith Experience. No Comments.
Jorge Mejia is not your typical PhD student. He owns his own company and has just finished a six month research and entrepreneurial project abroad with the world's largest incubator, Startup Chile. He's working on his PhD in Information Systems at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business.
Mejia did his undergraduate and master degrees in computer science at Georgia Tech. Ever since his first internship he has been engaged in a number of R&D projects that have become successful business innovations in their respective industries.
In 2004, he took an internship with NCR and was assigned to a task as part of a product development project of the "live" interaction system between humans and automatic check-out machines, which you see regularly in major supermarkets across the country.
After graduating with his MS, Mejia worked in a consulting firm for more than three years and spent half of his time traveling to countries in Europe. He worked with a Swedish telecommunications company in 2006 in research on cable live streaming, which was exactly what Netflix was doing three years later.
Most recently, he and his company Rively are researching and developing an app to enable customers to check in "moving objects" – the first of its kind – on their smart phones. If Foursquare helps you find the perfect places that are stationary, this app allows you to check-in on a particular bus, train or flight and review your transportation experience, not limited to the carriers.
"I like research," said Mejia, "and I always try to find research that is interesting and people have actual needs for it."
In 2012, Mejia and his college friends formed a team to participate in Startup Chile, a six-month $50,000 budget accelerator program backed by the Chilean government, which selected 100 early-stage start-ups out of 600 applicants worldwide. Mejia conducted research for his PhD project within the incubator to see how the entrepreneurs were using their money and time.
"Six months and $50,000 – you can use them for product development, or traveling to raise money, or going to networking parties for mentorships or ideas," said Mejia. "I wanted to measure the outcomes of these different approaches." He analyzed the data he collected and found out that if teams didn't know each other well, the probability of raising money was low.
"We screwed up a lot," he said, noting that they lost a teammate in the beginning and they couldn't find a developer. "It was also our first time meeting with an investor," Mejia recalled. "It was all about real-world learning and I highly recommend this incubator program."
Mejia appreciates the support he received from the Smith School. "[The level of support] is unconventional for a business school," he said. "My professor was putting his neck out for me and the school was not afraid to take a chance on me."
Now, Mejia is looking at areas that could combine his strengths in academia and entrepreneurship. "I love research and I want to find cool problems to solve," he said.

Daylight Donuts holds a small shop on the corner of Milligan Road and Pancheri Drive. As one walks into the fragrant; clean; and brightly lit bakery, he or she will quickly be greeted with a cheerful, "Welcome to Daylight Donuts, would you like to taste a sample from our freshly baked selection?" As you approach the counter, you realize that the said "selection" consists of a wide array of countless glazed, colorful, fresh looking donuts. What had been a craving for a quick treat on the way home from work, quickly turns into an uphill battle to cram as many flavors into a baker's dozen.
The deep-fried treat has a soft, cloudy, and rich texture.
It is not grainy, nor does it feel mushy; it is firm, yet delicate on the pallet. The flavor is subtle at first but it soon becomes more assertive as it develops on the taste buds. This kind of flavor can only come from fresh ingredients. Sure enough, the owner guarantees that everything is made daily with fresh products. This fairly new business has experienced exponential growth over the last two years. People drive clear across town and spend much of their lunch hour driving back.
As subtly as the flavor it imparts, Daylight Donuts has conquered the rough and rugged people of Idaho.

It's happened to us countless times - we head out to get a pedi, pick what seems to be the 'perfect' red, only to have it show up on our toes as too orangey, too sparkly, or too pink! It looks like Estee Lauder may have finally gotten it right with Pure Red ($19) from the Pure Color Nail Lacquer line. Of course, the name indicates that this was just going to be straight up red (no fussin' around with cutesy names here!), but the polish delivers with a color that is bright, bold, and neither too blue or too orange - it's just right red.

Kristen Cooks!
Friday, February 28, 2014
If you followed my blog at all before I took my hiatus you know that I'm not the biggest cook. I have been getting MUCH better about it now. Since I'm home all day and Noah works quite late I've been trying to cook dinner for us. I have always been the first one to call "uncle" and order takeout. Not anymore! The truth is I much prefer home cooked meals anyway. Here's what's been on the menu this week:
Sunday: Roast beef sandwiches, oven fries, and salad (Noah cooked this delicious meal)
Monday: Spaghetti and (homemade) meatballs with garlic bread
Tuesday: Stir fried veggies and shrimp over rice
Wednesday: Stuffed salmon with cous cous and brussels sprouts
Thursday: Mushroom risotto with spring mixed salad
now, I know that not everything is super healthy - but I'm working on it!
triumph from yesterday: only went over by 10 calories. I know it's over - but lets just say I was going WAY over until yesterday. I've been tracking a lot better recently.
today I have done nothing but snuggle the baby and watch tv. I keep telling myself I'm going to get up and do something productive and then I get sucked into an SVU marathon. UGH. Next week I SWEAR I will be more productive and move more.
tomorrow I'm having my first grown up outing without the baby or Noah. it's a bachelorette for one of my best friends. I'm excited! and the good news is that I'm a super cheat date after so much time not drinking :) I also think Noah's excited to be spending solo time with his baby boy.
I wish it was spring already. this winter is pounding the east coast and killing my chances of getting out and moving with the baby boy. we've been out for walks every day it's been above 40 but that hasn't been many. I can't wait to go for walks with him and get out! wishful thinking.
how're you all doing this beautiful Friday?

Congratulations on digging in and learning to do another skill. I really admire someone who admittedly does know how to do something but wades in anyway to TRY!!
I've been cooking since I was very young and from experience I will tell you that not everything turns out well, but I've learned from all my mistakes.
The backlash of all this cooking experience is that my DH doesn't like going for dinner as he says it all just muck compared to what I cook.......
Here on the west coast we are enjoying some rain finally....lots of it...unfortunately our rain will turn up as tons of snow for some lucky states out east! Hope you are not in it's path!
A nurse in the maternity ward told me on the birth of my son...."The only thing that spoils is meat". So snuggle away, the bonds you make with that little guy will last a lifetime. My little guy...now 32 is getting married this spring and the bond we created so many years ago when he was born, remains.

yep --could well be some kind of 5th brigade action at work.
perfect timing too give the socialist / communist a bit more control.
you got to start wondering where all these wack-jobs hell bent on mass murder are coming from--
Printable View
its monkey see monkey do. the media will be going on for at least another week about this looser an others will think hmmmmm well I was going to kill my self but know ill take out a school an try to set a record for kills before i go. they will feel like there in charge for a few minutes an then there gone game over dead or life impresion or the chair. there was a FBI profiler talking an he said about the same thing. they loose feel like by taking lives there in control an soft targets theat are confined dont fihght back. they take there rage out on anything easy. the media gets there attention as how another looser went out an they think hmmm i can do better than that.Quote:
you got to start wondering where all these wack-jobs hell bent on mass murder are coming from--
This is what I just heard
The shooter was 20 years old, the earlier reports said he was 24 because he had his brothers ID on him. I guess they looked a lot alike?
In the near by home is where he lived with his mother, his mother was killed there then he went to the school where his mother worked.
I can't tell you how sick I feel at this moment,, there is truly is evil in this world. My heart and prayers go out to everyone affected by this awful crime. My heart is breaking for the parents and to all the kids that had to witness such a evil thing, everyone involved will be scarred for life from this senseless act. I'm beside myself trying to understand what could possibly make someone do such a horrible thing, there must have some serious things wrong in that family to prompt the shooter to do such a thing.
There's so many wrong things in our culture now days it really hard to put your finger as to what caused such an outburst. With all of today's violent movies, the context of the songs, and the violence of the vidio games,,, it's no wonder were raising a generation of misfits and downright uncaring, desensitized, violent people.
I haven't seen or heard of anything so mind boggling sense seeing the killing fields and witnessing the brutality of the Camar Rouge and NVA. I never thought I'd see the day some people in this country turn into the same kinda animals.
My prayers go out to anyone effected and all the familys,, may the Lord help them to get through a time that none of us could possibly imagine enduring,,,,I pray the Lord will comfort them. Rest in peace my children the Lord is with you. And may the strength of God be with the parents.
I already posted my rant in another thread. Just sick over this.
Just as a few reports said after a day or so, It was the handguns, not an "evil" AR that were used by this nut case.
What is really sad is the amount of dis-information that the anti's grab onto to support a ban on semi-auto rifles.
Investigation is 'very complex' - Video on TODAY.com
one has to wonder if the press/meda is trying to sway the public opinion with such lies and fabrications?
or if their reporting has just dropped to such a low level they don't know how to report news anymore or even care? the press themselves can no longer tell the truth from lies and fabrications?
this was a tragic event--the loss of those children is very painful.
our government needs to make sure this and other terrorist attacks against US children never happens again.
the ONLY way to do this is with armed guards / patrols and adding built in security features at schools.
banning arms will not stop al-quida or some deranged nut job from creating a disaster.
armed guards may be the only measure able to take action BEFORE it is too late-

Fairy themed baby shower (18 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I wanted to do a fairy themed shower, but didn't want the focus to be on a fairy, per say. I was more excited for the whimsy aspect! Fairy wands, tulle, sliver, sparkle, and LOTS of pink!
I made so many of the decorations by hand. This was a baby shower for my younger sister, and I wanted it to be a special event.
I repainted furniture, and even repurposed an old gumball machine that I found in my shed. It was a last minute thought to put pink & white circus animal cookies inside.
My backdrop consisted of a pink door. This door was FREE from my neighbor down the street. I repainted it, added gray polka dots, and 2 gray panels for curtains. Hanging from the door was a wreath that I made out of coffee filters, and a pool noodle. I added a few touches, and it went well with the rest of the party decor.
Because I don't have a cricut machine, I made the banners by hand. I also made the diaper cake - first time ever doing that!
I created the menus, and wrapped the forks & spoons inside napkins, and made tulle napkinrings.

The youngster hurtled off the piste and hit a tree as she and her family were on the last skiing run of the day, police say.
15:45, UK, Tuesday 12 February 2013
A 10-year-old British girl has died after ploughing into a tree during a family skiing holiday in Austria.
She is understood to have been out with her father and brother when she hurtled off the piste into some woods.
The girl was unable to stop and crashed into a tree at Mayrhofen, in the Tirol region, police said.
Police in Mayrhofen said the family was on the last run of the day, on Sunday afternoon, when the accident happened.
A spokesman said: "After the girl lost control, she began to gain speed. She went faster and faster and sped over the edge of the piste and into the woods.
"She then hit the tree and was very badly hurt.
"Her father and brother were behind and they went after her immediately and saw the accident."
She was given first aid by her family before being flown by helicopter to hospital in Innsbruck, where she died on Monday.
The girl, who has not been named, was apparently wearing a helmet.
Her mother had returned to the bottom of the mountain by cable car and did not witness the tragedy.
The slopes around Mayrhofen have been popular with British skiers since the 1970s.
The resort boasts almost 100 miles of pistes and latest snow reports suggest conditions are excellent.

VeggiePatti has partnered with Total Health Foods in Wyandotte again to bring more vegan options to the Downriver area. The goal of the potlucks are to allow vegans and veg-curious folks to share camaraderie, meals, advice, and recipes.
The series started with a vegan dessert and ice cream social featuring an all vegan sundae bar and desserts such as raw banana cream caramel pie, lemon cake, and vegan cookies. The second potluck was a vegan barbeque featuring veggie dogs, potato salad, stuffed squash, gazpacho, and various side salads. This potluck was a big hit with families and kids!
The last in the summer series is a raw food potluck on Sunday, August 24 from 1-3 pm. This potluck will feature all raw food and celebrates the wonderful fresh bounty obtained from local markets by transforming the produce into healthy and energizing dishes. All are welcome and everyone is asked to bring a dish that serves at least 8. Dishes should be vegan, gluten-free, and raw.
If you miss the summer potluck series, make sure to plan to attend the Very Vegan Thanksgiving potluck on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This year's event will be the 4th annual event and features vegan, gluten-free vegan, and raw Thanksgiving dishes. What started out as a very small gathering of people has grown to a signature event with over 40 attendees. For more information about the potlucks, watch this episode of Here's to Your Health on Alternative Holiday Meals.
The potlucks are held at the Total Health Foods Juice Bar in Wyandotte. For more information, contact VeggiePatti or join Adventures in Veganland on Facebook.

dwrobel wrote:Hi,
I'm planing to preprare an RPM package of NXT software to have fully reproducible and stable build system.
Basically I've managed to compile the latest stable version from the svn tag lejos_nxj_0.9.1-3[1] (as the official sources doesn't contain eclipse plugin sources) and it works quite well (tools, examples, eclipse plugin).
gloomyandy wrote:Hi,
A few comments/thoughts on all of this....
Unless there is someone prepared to test and support a new build of the firmware then I do not think it is a good idea to make anything other than the standard leJOS firmware image available to users. This includes any build from source that results in a binary this is not identical to the standard leJOS image.
gloomyandy wrote:Which is all very well but none of that applies to the leJOS firmware (which was the subject of the text you quoted).
gloomyandy wrote:I am also not very comfortable with having someone that has not had a long term involvement with leJOS being responsible for creating a new distribution.
gloomyandy wrote:So we need to do one of the following:
* Ship a binary version of the firmware and have people use that (my understanding is that this may not be acceptable for some distributions)
* Ensure that the binary built from the firmware source is identical (my understanding is that this will not be the case because different versions of the gcc cross compiler will be used with different distros).
* we need someone who will handle any problems that users may experience.
gloomyandy wrote:Is using the binary blob the default option?
gloomyandy wrote:I've looked at the spec file, but it is not really possible to verify that this will result in a standard build just from inspection of the file, and I don't have the time to setup a build system to try all of this.
gloomyandy wrote:So is the resultant binary file identical to the one we currently ship (other than date/time stamps)? If not then ideally you need to understand why not as this may indicate some problem with the build process.

Wow, can't believe how many people have a problem with heavyweights David Haye 25-2 (23) and Dereck Chisora 15-3 (9) fighting this weekend. It seems like a natural since both lost to a Klitschko by decision in their last fight, with the difference being Chisora lost nobly in trying to take Vitali Klitschko's title away en-route to losing a decision, whereas Haye stunk the place out en-route to losing a lopsided decision to Wladimir Klitschko and never even sniffed the title.
Then after going through the motions against Wladimir, Haye blamed his poor showing on an injured pinkie-toe. If that weren't enough, Haye and Chisora badgered each other at the post fight press conference immediately following Chisora's loss to Vitali. Soon Haye and Chisora got into a brawl and Haye ended up hitting Chisora with a glass. Nobody said fighters were always the greatest citizens, although most of them are. As a result there were fines, hearings and suspensions. Which amounted to nothing more than a ruse being that less than a year later they're facing each other in a sanctioned professional fight.
I love this fight!
During the Haye-Chisora press conference dust up this past February, I was hoping that these two would end up facing each other next. Although, in all honesty, I wasn't sure if Haye wanted any part of Chisora after Dereck's showing against the more gritty and durable Klitschko. Granted, Chisora didn't come close to beating Vitali, but he pressed him almost from bell-to-bell. The only other fighter to do that was former champ Lennox Lewis nine years ago. Had Chisora had a little more experience and refinement, along with a little more pop in his punch, that fight would've been up for grabs. But he didn't and it wasn't.
The point is - Chisora showed that he may not be great or a fighter that you'll remember when he's gone, but he's not afraid to push the fight against a big strong versatile and accomplished fighter the likes of Vitali Klitschko. In addition to that he showed he can really catch and has an upper tier chin. After going the distance with Vitali, it's hard to conceive that Chisora is losing any sleep over David Haye. Which may just be a problem because Chisora is capable of sleep-walking his way through a fight and when he does that he can lose to fighters he should beat easily. Dereck is hard to light a fire under, but it seems that he's angry enough at Haye to the point that may not be an issue this time.
If you're David Haye, you're thinking to yourself, Chisora takes a good shot, but he can be out-boxed. Along with that, he isn't a big puncher. Sure, he's aggressive, but I'm faster, I can punch and am the predominately better skilled fighter/boxer. As long as I don't trip over a left hook and avoid getting caught with a lottery punch, there's no way this guy can stay with me, let alone beat me.
The style clash here is very interesting.
Forget about the x's and o's in this one. It's doubtful there'll be time for that. This one will come down to not who's better so much, but who's tougher and refuses more to be denied. The lesser puncher is going to have to force the fight while the bigger puncher who has the less dependable chin will look to avoid a war and pick his spots. Because of his chin, Chisora can take chances and look to land his Sunday best on Haye who still harbors some doubt about his beard. On the other hand, Haye can't get too seduced with his power because that'll give Chisora more openings to get one in. And Lord help Haye if he lands his bread and butter right hand and Chisora looks at him as if to say, "now what?"
When you add the bad blood between them into the mix, it makes for what could be one of the more entertaining heavyweight clashes in recent memory. This is something the boxing public is starving for. Sure, the winner sets himself up for a big money/high profile bout with one of the Klitschkos. But that's not the intrigue because any sophisticated boxing fan already knows that Chisora would have no shot against Wladimir Klitschko and Haye would fight like a church mouse against Vitali Klitschko.
No, this fight is about one night/afternoon of excitement. Neither Haye or Chisora are gonna be big players in the division in two years, so what. But they can provide some excitement and fireworks for 36 minutes if we're lucky.
This is a fun fight. Haye can't afford another night of running for cover, and Chisora has personal reasons for pushing the fight. I'm expecting a lot of intensity. It'll be better if Chisora wins, because it'll be hard to sell Haye against either Klitschko in light of what's happened in the past. With Chisora, they can talk about how green he was the first time around. It's BS, but it's sellable BS.
What the hell I agree. This dust up is what Boxing is about. Excitement. The klitscos do not bring this level of excitement
I like this match-up too, and think Chisora should win.
gonna be a good fight ....Chisora will win if he stays busy and forces the pace ....Haye's one at a time pot shots better have good effect or it will be a long nite for him
I really, really hope this one delivers. Haye, I'll call Chicken Man and Chisora, I'll call the Fat Chicken Hawk. Will Chicken Man be able to run around the ring and peck out a victory? Or will the Fat Chicken Hawk (249 pounds) be able to take his best pecking and catch the Chicken Man? The Fat Chicken Hawk may not be as inspired as the Chicken Man is at 210 pounds. Chicken Man may be so afraid of getting his feathers plucked that he has worked very hard but the Fat Chicken Hawk may not care enough for this fight to get his big butt in shape. Both want to fight the Klitschko's. If they stay relevant long enough they will both most likely get their wishes to get beat again with the big paychecks that accompany them (that is the really big wish) and they will disgrace themselves doing it. I don't think either one cares about that, it is all about the money. Picking the Chicken Man by decision.
Wow, DaveB! That is a lot of "Chicken" syet! Hehehehe! Any way that you look at it, a chicken is assured a win. Unless, of course, it ends in a draw. I hoping for a double chicken syet knockout. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?


text: So no one told you bass was gonna be this way… This is a nice and catchy little theme that has a good range to help stretch out your fingers. It's important to get the rhythm correct with this one to get it to sound right. It's a great theme to share with friends.

From April 11-13, the Circuit of The Americas will turn into a motorcycle friendly zone, as the greatest riders in the world converge on the track in Austin, Texas for the MotoGP Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas.
Recently, the public relations staff at the racetrack sat down with former MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden to discuss his bike, the race, and find out a little more about what makes him tick.
COTA: Next up on the MotoGP calendar is the race in Austin at COTA. What are you looking forward to with your next trip to Texas?
NICKY: The fans! The support I get here at my home GP is amazing. It's really a pleasure to have so many fans standing behind me rain or shine, so it will be nice to see everyone and have my family at the race. That's also pretty special. They can come along, support me and enjoy the event. And Mom can sell her merchandise at her stand, which I know she loves!
COTA: You've expressed concerns about your new Honda motorcycle and the amount of power it produces. Have you made any progress there?
NICKY: Well top speed is not our strength at the moment with this bike, but it's time stop complaining and go racing. We know it's not going to be easy, and I am not as confident as I thought I would be with this new bike. But I need to focus on what I can control and improving where I need. And for me that's taking advantage of the strength of the brake, and using its braking to 100 percent. I also need to re-adjust my brain to not use the clutch on back shifts on the corner entry and let the electronics do all the work—and not have the two systems working again each other. It's the first time in my career where I don't need to use the clutch, and it's a little harder to do than it sounds when you're pushing at maximum and the reaction takes over.
COTA: Okay, it's time to get to know the real Nicky Hayden. Tell us your preference of these choices:
COTA: Batman or Superman?
NICKY: They are both cool. But I prefer the former racers who have won the grand slam!
COTA: Pizza or cheeseburger?
NICKY: Pizza
COTA: Beer or bourbon?
NICKY: M7 Drive Energy Drink!
COTA: Mountain retreat or ocean view?
NICKY: Ocean view
COTA: Dog or cat?
NICKY: Dog
COTA: Star Wars or Star Trek?
NICKY: Neither. I'm not into that stuff.
COTA: Friday night or Saturday morning?
NICKY: Saturday morning
COTA: M&Ms or Reese's Pieces?
NICKY: Both!
COTA: Football or basketball?
NICKY: Basketball
COTA: Blonde or brunette?
NICKY: One of each, please!
COTA's 2014 MotoGP event features many new fan-friendly options, including three-day weekend passes and single-day ticket options for fans, a new dry camping option for fans who want to stay close to the circuit all weekend; and kids 12 and under receive FREE general admission with a ticketed adult.
Single-day general admission tickets start at $39 for Friday's practice sessions, and single-day reserved seats start at $59. Three-day weekend passes start at $89 for general admission or $139 for reserved seats. Three-day dry camping passes are available and start at $150 per space.
Circuit of The Americas (COTA) has partnered with GovX.com, the largest e-commerce website for verified military and government members and their families, to provide discounts for military service members and first responders to the event.
"Every day, military service members and first responders, along with their families, sacrifice so much for all of the rest of us; it's a special honor to bring them together with Circuit of The Americas to convey the community's collective gratitude for their service," added GovX Executive Chairman and Founder Tony Farwell.
GovX.com members have the opportunity to purchase three-day general admission tickets to COTA's MotoGP race for $59 per person, a $30 savings or 34-percent discount.
"We are proud to support members of the Armed Forces and veterans at all motorsports events at Circuit of The Americas. Motorcycle racing is particularly popular with military families," COTA Chief Marketing and Revenue Officer Geoff Moore said. "Partnering with GovX.com for the MotoGP race weekend and future events at COTA is a great way to show our appreciation for service members' commitment and sacrifice. The special offer on three-day MotoGP tickets is also available to first responders—such as police officers, firefighters and EMS officials—who keep our communities safe every day. COTA is proud to celebrate these heroes and their loved ones by offering them three days of MotoGP action and entertainment at a very affordable price."
Today through Friday, April 4, COTA will donate $1 for every ticket purchased for the Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas to the Simoncelli Foundation, which was established in memory of Schwantz's good friend, Marco Simoncelli, a MotoGP competitor from Italy who will be inducted into the MotoGP Hall of Fame as a MotoGP Legend this May. Simoncelli died after an accident during the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix. The foundation is a nonprofit organization which supports humanitarian projects that benefit the disadvantaged.
"I am thankful for COTA's support of the Simoncelli Foundation, a charity that's important to all of us who knew Marco personally and fans that followed his career," stated motorcycle racing legend Kevin Schwantz. "Marco was a great competitor and a very special friend. Now racing fans everywhere can honor his memory and help a cause important to Marco by purchasing a ticket to Austin's MotoGP race."
Schwantz will serve as an official ambassador for COTA and work to promote the upcoming Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas MotoGP™ event.
"Kevin is a great champion and partnering with him gives us an opportunity to learn from his deep knowledge, as well as continue to celebrate his accomplishments," Circuit Chairman Bobby Epstein said. "Kevin and I have always shared the desire to see him be a part of COTA, and it's awesome to finally see it become a reality. A great American track and a great American champion in the same city can't be kept apart. As a result, casual riders, current racers, future stars and the fans all win."
Schwantz will also serve as Grand Marshal for the MotoGP race on Sunday, April 13, and will lead the parade laps scheduled for COTA's personal seat license holders on Friday, April 11, between grand prix practice sessions.

Benjamin Franklin said death and taxes are the only two certain things in life. And only one of the two can land an American citizen in jail for not paying taxes. April 15, 2014, is only weeks away and H & R Block has two things that District of Columbia residents must know before April 15, 2014.
The first is the office on 2020 K Street, NW, has moved. The new location is 900 17th Street, NW, near the Farragut West Metro Station. The new location has the same staff of great tax professionals and the same great service. They just moved to a different location.
The second thing that H&R Block wants taxpayers to know is, "If you have filed your taxes already, bring your return to us. You may have left money on the table," the company said. The program is called Free Second Look Review ® and H&R Block will review 2012, 2011, and 2010 taxes for accuracy and they will double check to see if all eligible tax credits and deductions were claimed.
The Second Look ® Review service is available at participating H&R Block offices. The Internal Revenue Service allows taxpayers to amend income tax returns from the previous three years to claim additional refunds that they would have been entitled to receive.
Benjamin Franklin was right. Death is certain. H&R Block is making tax preparation less confusing and the company might be able to find taxpayers money that was left on the table in the previous filings. The service applies to individual income tax returns only.
Alfred S. Pinkett, III, wants all Washington taxpayers to know that his team at H&R Block at 900 17th Street, NW, is ready to provide the same great customer service that was available on 2020 K Street, NW, and still has the best tax preparation team in DC.
Pinkett is qualified to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. "My certification is a step above the certification that preparers will be required to have as of 2013. Their certification will not qualify them to represents clients before the Internal Revenue Service," Pinkett said.
Mr. Pinkett still believes that customer service is the most important aspect of his longevity as a tax preparer. He takes his customer service to the highest level. "I believe that I owe my customers the best possible level of service," he said. With 35 years of customer service as a tax preparer he can offer his clients an impressive amount of knowledge on the tax codes, exemptions, and tax law. "I received my certification in July of 1998; however, I have been with H&R Block since 1980. I took my tax course in 1979," Pinkett said.
Anyone who has done a job for 35 years will bring wisdom and knowledge to their job that can be an asset to their clients. Pinkett warns that it is not enough just to have experience; there is also the respect that he brings to his clients. "My background is in education. So I teach tax preparers as well as being a tax preparer," he said. Mr. Pinkett is a living example that he not only teaches tax preparers but he also prepares tax returns for his clients. "I began working as an instructor for H&R Block in 1982. I have been teaching since 1982. I have over 30 years of experience in teaching tax courses," Pinkett said.
If you are looking for a tax preparer there is still time. Pinkett can be reached at email@example.com. For information on all H&R offices go to www.hrblock.com. Mr. Pinkett is ready to serve you at the new 900 17th Street, NW, location.

A green tide is washing over Ottawa housing sites as builders clamour to hop on the environmental band wagon, earning sales with energy-miser homes.
Next week, Tartan Homes will be riding the crest of the green wave, honoured by EnerQuality Corporation in Toronto for enrolling the 10,000th home in the wildly successful Energy Star program launched three years ago across Ontario.
Energy Star homes use 30 per cent less energy than a home built to the Ontario building code's regular standards, and feature increased insulation, better windows and improved sealing techniques to plug air leaks.
"Really it is all a bit serendipitous," says a clearly pleased Bruce Nicol, vice-president of Tartan Homes and the "early adopter" who pushed the family-owned company to become a green builder, partnering with Tamarack Homes and opening Canada's first Energy Star community at Jackson Trails on the edge of Stittsville.
Tartan hasn't started construction on the home, but will this year, possibly for a buyer in Jackson Trails or as a model home in the planned community of Soho in Kanata.
"We are building homes that meet our customers' desires. The homes also have a multiple effect, which can become quite significant and a measurable force in reducing our carbon footprint," says Nicol.
At an awards ceremony on Thursday in Toronto, Tartan will receive a $10,000 cheque from EnerQuality officials. The plan is for Tartan to turn the money over to the National Capital Region's offices of Habitat for Humanity to host a Women Build this summer.
"It is a win all around," says Tartan's marketing director Nancy Nesbitt. The Energy Star program is quickly winning converts and will likely register another 10,000 homes by April 2009, predicts Michelle Coté, account manager for EnerQuality which registers all Energy Star homes.
Ottawa led the green parade in 2006 and then Toronto builders started to take interest in 2007, says Coté. Between 2006 and 2007, there was a 1,200-per-cent increase in the production of Energy Star homes, says Coté. "And there will be another doubling this year."
Tartan, Urbandale and Valecraft have been early and steady supporters of Energy Star, offering the program as a standard for home buyers. Energy Star homes are also standard with Campanale, Larco and Braebury.
Other major players in the industry, including Minto, Mattamy, Richcraft and Phoenix offer Energy Star homes as a option, costing about $6,500.
Claridge is building an Energy Star model home in Barrhaven and Monarch is offering Energy Star as a standard in its Traditions community in Stittsville.
"It can become a penny game," says Frank Cairo, vice-president of land development for the Ottawa offices of Mattamy Homes. Energy Star was offered as an option in Mattamy's Kanata community of Fairwinds, yet only 16 per cent of the 648 buyers bought in. Over at the builder's newer Barrhaven community of Half Moon Bay, 19 per cent of the 229 buyers signed up for an Energy Star home.
"We are still monitoring the numbers to come to a decision on whether to make the program standard," says Cairo. "It seems when given the option people still elect not to add it on their homes. It is a great, age-old debate: To pick granite counter tops or Energy Star, better flooring or Energy Star. It seems the curb appeal of a house and interior finishings seem to be winning, but we want to give people the option," says Cairo.
Energy Star is only one program in the sometimes confusing march to ratchet up the energy ratings of homes.
Urbandale is going beyond Energy Star, making R-2000 standard for all of their single homes. R-2000 standards also promise energy savings of 30 per cent over homes built to the Ontario building code. However, R-2000 homes also consider other factors, promoting better air quality and the use of green materials.
Now Claridge is finishing the first 13-storey condo and launching a second 13-storey condo in LeBreton Flats that will meet a LEED silver and gold standard. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) was developed in the United States for the commercial sector, blending the demand for energy savings with an improved building and adding points for location and proximity to public transportation and walking paths.
Claridge is taking its LEED experience in LeBreton Flats to a new level in Edinburgh Commons, a community that will blend stacked townhomes, two condo buildings and a retirement home near Beechwood Avenue and the Vanier Parkway.
Plans call for building blocks of townhomes starting with a block built to the Ontario building code, a block to Energy Star levels and one to a LEED platinum level.
"We are working on the numbers now," says Neil Malhotra, adding there is an appetite for Energy Star and more.
"The issue comes down to how much more people are willing to pay," says Malhotra. "Do they want a slightly larger home for the same money or do they want to go green."
It's an easy decision for Akash Sinha, owner of Dharma Developments, a small company which wants to build 36 condos in a LEED low-rise building on a piece of vacant land in Stittsville that meets the program's exacting silver standards.
"Green is the wave of the future," says the 35-year-old builder, who showed his progressive nature early, selling his first project, an enclave of 29 townhomes in Stittsville with a virtual model and a comprehensive website. Now Sinha is getting a jumpstart on Energy Star, a program that will be outdated by 2012 when the Ontario code is given a tough green edge.
"We are being innovative and progressive. We are a young company and willing to adopt new technologies," says Sinha. Orville Station will sit in the heart of Stittsville, featuring condos in a three-and-a-half storey building. Prices will start at $180,000 for one- and two-bedroom condos, which will include a den, a courtyard and a rash of green options .
Finally, crews are framing one of the biggest energy-miser homes in the area, Minto's Net Zero demonstration home in Manotick. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. demo house will be open to the public this year.
Net Zero will produce as much energy as it pulls off the grid, says Minto architect Bill Ritcey. The house comes more than a decade after Minto built the Innova House, also a CMHC demo project to encourage energy conservation.
The Net Zero house will be even more sophisticated, likely adding a deeper shade of green to the face of the housing industry.

NYFW- Squee!
You guys know I'm obsessed with Fashion Week, so I'm once again having a blast drooling over runway shows!
This is the only dress I really liked from Richard Chai Love's runway show, which is super depressing because his Spring collection was my favorite thing.
Even though I don't love the color palette, I love this dress by Costello Tagliapietra! And I love the matching shoes!
I really liked a lot of pieces from Kelly Wearstler's collection! There was just something effortless but still a little funky going on.
Although I didn't like any specific looks from Libertine, the general aesthetic of the collection still appealed to me, and I really liked certain elements, like the shiny discs and tree branch/lightning bolts. Plus, it was fun to look at.
I really, really liked Tadashi Shoji's use of lace. I think he's going to start showing up on the red carpet a LOT.
So many good shows coming up this week! EXCITE!!

The founder of "Girls Gone Wild" has until noon Thursday, to turn himself in to U.S. Marshals in Panama City.
Federal Judge Richard Smoak reinstated contempt of court charges he first imposed against Joe Francis last week.
The case stems from a mediation session between Francis and the families of some girls filmed for Girls Gone Wild during Spring Break 2003 in Panama City Beach.
Several underage girls were shown in sexual situations. The girls' families sued.
According to court records, Francis disrupted the mediation session, cursing at the families' lawyers, and saying he wouldn't settle. Judge Smoak charged Francis with contempt of court for the disruption, but gave him one more chance to settle the case.
After mediating Friday and Saturday, Francis made an unconditional settlement offer to the families, so Judge Smoak suspended the contempt charge. The families had until Tuesday to accept the offer, which they apparently did.
But the mediator says Francis is trying to revoke the unconditional offer and impose unacceptable conditions.
Wednesday afternoon, Judge Smoak re-imposed the contempt of court sanctions, and ordered Francis to surrender. So far, Francis has not been booked into the Bay County Jail.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has determined that Southwest Airlines improperly compensated travelers who were not able to board flights because of overbooking. They imposed on Southwest a $200,000 fine for bumping passengers without following federal guidelines.
Federal law requires that airlines must offer passengers a voucher for another flight or cash compensation, or both, when the passenger holds a ticket for a flight and is denied a seat because the flight is overbooked. The airline is required to give a written statement explaining their rights to passengers who are involuntarily bumped from a flight. An investigation conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation found that in 2009 there were 'numerous instances' in which Southwest Airlines failed to follow those guidelines by failing to give passengers the required written statement of their rights and failing to inform passengers that they were entitled to cash instead of a voucher for another flight or failed to pay bumped passengers the appropriate sum of money.
Airlines are allowed to book more passengers than the number of seats on a flight to compensate for people who miss the flight or just don't show up. However, they are required to compensate ticket-holding passengers who are denied boarding because of the practice of overbooking flights.
A spokesperson for the Department of Transportation declined to comment on the number of cases that were investigated, but did say that the airline agreed to pay the $200,000 fine in order to avoid litigation. On the other hand, Brandy King, a Southwest spokesperson, said that the violations occurred only on a small percentage of flights and that the airline is working to improve procedures to reduce an such incidents in the future.
The Southwest $200,000 fine for bumping passengers without following federal guidelines can be waived if the airline stays in compliance over the next year. Southwest Airlines is the second-busiest airline in the U.S. in terms of the number of passengers served annually. The airline is headquartered out of Dallas, Texas.

I want to access my Linux server(vnc) from a distant machine which has most ports blocked with the exception of 21, 25, 80, 135, and 445.
So, I would like to know if theres a way to communicate with my vnc server on the server, while using an available port on client.
i.e. port 25
So I think essentially I need the serverside router to forward packets coming in on port 25 to linux server machine(servername, p5900), which should forward them on to itself on port 5900.
And when transmitting, I need the server OR to router to send out packets changing their port to 25.
Im totally lost on how to acheive this. Please help(much appreciated). Thanks
I do not use smtp.

LG Marquee and Samsung Transform Ultra now free at Sprint
If you're looking for a new capable Android smartphone but aren't willing to spend anything on it, Sprint has an interesting limited time offer for you to look at. Both the LG Marquee (which is the Now Network's version of the internationally-launched LG Optimus Black) and the Samsung Transform Ultra can now be had for absolutely nothing – if you agree to sign a new two-year contract of course.
That's down from $99.99 (after a $50 mail-in rebate) for the Marquee, and $79.99 (also after a $50 mail-in rebate) for the Transform Ultra. So depending on which device you choose, you may save almost a hundred bucks if you take advantage of this promo.
And if you don't mind having Sprint as your carrier and you need a decent midrange Android device, you won't go wrong with either of these, although the LG Marquee is a bit higher-specced (and has the larger screen). That said, the Transform Ultra comes with a full physical side-sliding QWERTY keyboard, which may make up for its smaller screen in the eyes of some.
If you're interested in these phones, keep in mind that we have no idea how long they'll still be free, so it's best to grab one as soon as possible. To do that, head over here for the LG Marquee and here for the Samsung Transform Ultra.

I received so many compliments on this gorgeous and elegant dress. The beading is luxurious and the low cut back is sexy, yet tasteful. I purchased it in 2013 at Bridal Boutique in Lewisville, Tx. This was worn at our unique ceremony, on a sailboat in Rockwall, Tx. It was also worn at our reception, where we danced the night away! Timeless is the word that always comes to mind with this beautiful dress and I hope the next owner will love it just as much as I did!
- Alterations: Altered from a size 6 to a 4, and there is just some minor fraying on the satin liner underneath. This will be very easy to get fixed.
- Preservation Method: I wore this dress for a total of 6 hours and then immediately stored it in it's original bag, which zips all the way up to cover the entire dress.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner:
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: Richardson, TX
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other
