This latest market-savvy bit of circuit preaching is less cartoonish than Perry's previous big-tent revival meetings.
Subtlety is not his strong suit--all the characters here are either adorable or loathsome--yet Perry has toned down the pandering materialism, evangelism, and black empowerment of "Madea's Family Reunion" and "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," letting his heart-tugging story tell itself.
Unflinchingly addressing issues of class and race, Perry juggles multiple plot lines and the result emerges as (dare I say?) a surprising mix of Frank Capra and Douglas Sirk.
Happily, Perry's strength as a filmmaker is that he genuinely loves his actors, and they love him back. What his movies lack in exposition they make up for in performances.
Chockfull of cathartic moments, Perry's storytelling is best when it defies convention. Like the black man's Frank Capra, Perry tells stories in which every conflict is a test of faith and every victory a testament to the American underdog. Instead of following the proven formulas of screenwriting books, he earnestly shepherds his own messy structure.
Daddy's Little Girls may be heavy-handed and drearily predictable, but it also should connect with its core audience as solidly as Perry's previous efforts did, even if the drama is frequently just as over the top as its predecessors.
More surprising is Perry's inability to write back-and-forth dialogue with any real wit or verve. He is at his best when writing speeches, and some of the film's best moments come when Union is given snappy monologues on the state of contemporary relationships and African American maleness.
Perry has great casting instincts, and in Elba and Union he's matched two gifted, equally gorgeous actors, both of whom seem ready to make sparks fly. If only their director would let them.
There are fewer laughs and more lectures -- but there's plenty of sass and soul in between.
While its look at interclass romance among African-Americans and the struggles of a working-class single father is fresh and vital, the heavy-handed execution isn't.
Billed as a comedy about a single dad with three girls, the movie is essentially another sudser about the plight of upscale black women in Atlanta.
As a director, Mr. Perry has his strong points, including a genuine interest in showing the resilience of African-American life and traditions (including church sermons and blues music, which are accorded equal significance here). But those aspects get lost in this turgid and ungainly film.
Perry shelves his crowd-pleasing Madea character and aspires for the impossible mix of 1950s social melodrama, gospel-inflected public service announcement, soap opera, R&B video, girl-centric sitcom on the CW, and any episode of "Good Times," featuring Janet Jackson's oft-affronted Penny. Were Perry a visual director or a logical, patient screenwriter, that hybrid would count as a feat of singular ambition. Instead, it seems like the product of an abbreviated attention span.
Given his built-in appeal, Perry has the opportunity to broaden the subject matter of so-called black movies. He takes a stab at it in "Girls," but he could do so much better.
Whether because of Madea's on-screen absence or the abilities of the two lead actors, Daddy's Little Girls is still a step up for Perry, boasting moments of charm that transcend the usual mess.
Perry's indifferent direction flattens everything out: You might fall asleep if his heavy-mitted music cues didn't keep cattle-prodding your ass.
Subtlety has never been Perry's strength, but his previous films balanced the sermonizing with good humor and sincerity. Perhaps next time, he'll ease up on the lectures, and bring back the love.

I got a season pass for Saint's Row 3, but my friend doesn't. Can we play the DLC together?
No you cannot. It (The season pass info page) says that each copy of the DLC requires the base game in order to play.
To the other side of the question if your friend has the base game, but no DLC, the answer is still no because he will not have the content contained in the Season Pass.
Yes, you can. I just picked up SR3 on the steam Thanksgiving sale, and went through Gangstas in Space with a friend that only had the base game.
At the same time each paid for DLC was released, they also released free Viewer Packs which allow people without the dlc to play through the dlc missions in co-op.

Pioneering iPad class hits hospital halls
UC Irvine's pioneering medical school program put an iPad loaded with books, apps and notes covering the first year of curriculum in the hands of 104 incoming medical students a few months after Apple debuted the device in 2010.
Then they got to work, figuring out how to use the new devices.
The medical students spent their first two years in the classroom, working on dead bodies as they discovered the iPads could be operated by touch even while students wore gloves and the devices were protected by plain plastic bags. Now that first class is in the middle of its last two years of study, spending time primarily learning in the hospital and working with patients.
Being one of the first schools in the country to embrace the device as early and as fully as it did, UCI is beginning to see the effects the device is having – scores on national tests are up, and last year the school had 5,300 applications (up from the 4,000s in previous years) for 104 spots.

Utah State: One thing the Aggies have going for them is that when Keeton, now a sophomore, got hurt last year, Adam Kennedy — who's back for his senior season — stepped into the void and Utah State never missed a beat.
The Aggies suffered a series of heartbreaking losses early last season, then got things rolling and reached a bowl game for the first time since John L. Smith was calling the shots in Logan.
After opening this season at home against Southern Utah, the Aggies face a couple of fierce challenges with a home game against Utah and a road trip to Wisconsin. Then they play at Colorado State, where they'll be out to avenge last year's hard-luck loss, and then try to do the same thing two weeks later at BYU.
But Utah State has a stretch of five very winnable games starting with Sept. 29 at home against perennial doormat UNLV. Then, after the BYU game on Oct. 5, the Aggies play in succession at San Jose State, at home against New Mexico State, at Texas-San Antonio and home against Texas State. If that's not a recipe for success, I dunno what is.
USU finishes up the regular season with a likely WAC title showdown at Louisiana Tech, followed by its final WAC game at home against Idaho before joining the Mountain West Conference next year.
Predicted finish: 8-4.
Weber State: Smith may have bailed on the Wildcats, but Hoke is back to try and bail out the Wildcats. The Throwin' Hawaiian says his surgically repaired shoulder is 100 percent, and he'll get a chance to test it when the Weebs open the season with road games (and almost assuredly an 0-2 start) against a couple of BCS schools, Fresno State and BYU.
Things get a little easier after that, with two home games (McNeese State and Eastern Washington), a road trip to UC Davis, and another home game vs. Cal Poly. That's followed by road games at Sacramento State and Big Sky newcomer Southern Utah, which beat the Wildcats last year in Ogden.
Home games against Montana and Northern Colorado, followed by a road game at Idaho State, close out the 'Cat campaign.
Predicted finish: 6-5.
Southern Utah: The Thunderbirds, like Weber State, start the season with back-to-back road games against BCS schools. In their case, it's Utah State and California of the Pac-12, where Sorensen will get a chance to show off his considerable passing skills in front of a big crowd.
SUU's schedule softens up considerably after that, though, with New Mexico Highlands coming to town, followed by its first-ever Big Sky game on the road at Portland State. Then Montana State and Sacramento State come to Cedar City in consecutive weeks, followed by a road game against always-powerful Montana.
Home games with Weber State and Eastern Washington are followed by season-ending road games at North Dakota and then Northern Arizona.
Predicted finish: 6-5.
And, lest you think this football forecast is about as accurate as the one you usually get on the 10 o'clock news, here's how we fared last year: BYU, predicted 9-3, finished regular season 9-3 and wound up 10-3 overall with its bowl win; Utah, predicted 8-4, finished regular season 7-5 and wound up 8-5 overall with its bowl win; Utah State, predicted 7-5, finished regular season 7-5 and wound up 7-6 overall with its bowl loss; Weber State, predicted 6-5, finished 5-6; Southern Utah, predicted 6-5, finished 6-5.

Is there a way to change the wording of "Member since" to something else?
You could put this in your settings.php
Or you could change it in the form by preprocessing that form. I think there are also language modules that allow you to change phrases/labels site-wide.
The module String Overrides: http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides lets you replace virtually any string with another string.
Some of its features (from project page):
If you want to replace any occurrence of that string, then you can use the following method:
In Drupal 7, it would be possible to alter only the string used in the user profile with hook_user_view_alter(), such as with the following code added to a module.

Roots of Goa (Trance): a sound that was both accessible and otherworldly
... at the same time that Chicago was creating House and Detroit was forging ahead with what would become Techno, the roots of Trance were being sawn on the beaches of Anjuna and Vagator. And just as Chicago had Ron Hardy and Detroit had The Electrifying Mojo, Goa had a DJ called Laurent. If it wasn't for him, it's quite possible that the music played at parties in Goa would have been little more than a carbon copy of what was going on back in Europe and America. Unveiling The Secret: The Roots of Trance - before Goa was Goa, it was "new electronic music coming out of Europe and America," sliced and edited by Laurent to make one long, constantly morphing psychedelic groove.

Usha Uthup: not your average playback singer
Celebrated Indian recording artist and playback singer Usha Uthup, AKA Usha Iyer, has performed many different musical styles during her 47-year career: smokey jazz and pop on the 1968 album Scotch and Soda, funk and disco on 1978's Usha in Nairobi (song: Fever), disco and new wave for numerous films, and across the spectrum in this scene from the 1972 comedy Bombay to Goa. (Yes, that's Amitabh Bachchan in his first leading role.) Uthup is also not afraid to embrace the unusual, as shown on her weirdly wonderful 1984 album, Blast-Off. [more inside]

My Heart Sings For You
Around the time Ravi Shankar passed in December of last year (previously) his daughters Anoushka Shankar and Norah Jones were working on collaborative tracks for a new album with producer Nitin Sawhney. While the project, which was half way finished at the time, was conceived and planned some time before Ravi Shankar's passing it comes as no surprise that many of the tracks became infused, shaped and sometimes entirely transformed by the immediacy of their experience of the loss of their father. Emotions of sadness, loss and reconciliation run deep within some of the recordings. The album's title track "Traces Of You" is a filigrane dew sprinkled spiderweb gently spun from interlacing threads of melody and texture. An incredibly tender expression of what happens when the raw pain of grief is transformed into the bittersweet melancholy of memories, forgiveness and reconciliation. [more inside]

"Bursting" every year at about June for the last sixty million years, the Monsoons are the pre-eminent weather formation for the lands south of the Himalayas; over a period of three months, they travel all over the sub-continent in a north-easterly direction. They are India's meteorological tryst with destiny; as a past Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor once said, "If it rains everything is well on earth and cordial in heaven[...] I am once again hostage to monsoon;[...i]f it rains, the monetary policy works. [...] I want you to realise that all of us are 'Chasing the Monsoon'": [more inside]

Reality of India
This is a story of a young man named Chotu Lohar* from a small nondescript village in one of the poorest states of India. He dropped out of school to work in the iron mines. Music on a radio was the only entertainment available in his house but last year he came to national notice on a reality show called Dance India Dance - where although his untutored enthusiasm and energy captured attention - he was unable to make the cut. His passion, on the other hand, caught the interest** of the show's producers who took him under their wing and a year later, he's just made the shortlist for this year's show. [more inside]
In 1993 in Dharamsala I met for the first time that amazing music performer, perhaps he was a Rajhastan gypsy. Usually he sat on road side from McLeod Ganch to Dhalai Lama residence. This man-orchestra created great atmosphere, sometimes he sang from eternity even didn't notice listeners. In 2004 I came to Dharamsala and people told me that he passed away. This video is dedicated to him and to people who knew him.

Beats and Pieces, Collected in Loving Memory of 900 Bats
Back on August 15, 2010, Aesop Rock kicked off a sprawling collaboration effort, with input by 28 artists, with an eclectic collection of videos spanning from music videos to odd clips and a Kimya Dawson recording studio dance party, works by photographer Chrissy Piper, and lots of music, from unreleased tracks, remixes, and mixtapes. There's even a post about being manhandled by a nude model, written by the Dwarvs front-man Blag Dahlia. Going back to the beginning of the site, the second post was a collection of facts about bats, and the only obvious connection back to the tragic impetus for the title of this ongoing collaboration (900 bats) -- over 900 bats were torched to prevent disruption of work on the ongoing renovations of the historic Bala Quila (also spelled Bala Qila) fort in Alwar, Rajasthan, in north-eastern India.

Van Shipley and slide guitar music in India
Van Shipley was the first electric guitarist in India. The name Van Shipley is Methodist, he [was] from Lucknow [Uttar Pradesh, India]. He designed his own electric eight string steel guitar in the 1940's. The reason he did this was that he'd studied Indian classical music under Ustad Alaudin Khan, the leading classical musician in India, who was also a contemporary of Ravi Shankar. He also studied the violin with a German teacher... so he made an eight string guitar, instead of a five string. His guitar was a solid guitar, designed to his style at the time, it was futuristic.

Mahanthappa picks Indian music
Destination: Out, an astounding mp3 blog devoted to mostly out-of-print free jazz and improv records, has been linked a few times on Ask, but never gotten the main-page exposure it deserves. Until now. The editors' selections are always interesting and written about well, and they're ready to go to the mat for the music. (The interview with Marsalis by the Bad Plus to which that's a response is also well worth reading.) But the real impetus for this post is only tangentially related to jazz: recently they got saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa to do a guest post on Indian (mostly Carnatic) music, and it won't be long before the links expire.

The Maestro
Being a huge fan of the late, great Mr Harrison, I was hunting around youtube and found this video of a sitar lesson... which led me to this stunning performance by Ravi Shankar on Dick Cavett's show. [Previously]
"We were just trying to write songs about prostitutes and lesbians, that's all."
Introduced to Western culture by the Beatles in their single Norwegian Wood, the sitar has featured prominently in North Indian classical music for centuries. Princeton-based computer scientist Ajay Kapur updates the instrument with his ESitar, an audio and video controller that uses gesture input (PDF) and machine learning algorithms to facilitate joining the computer with Ajay in his sitar performance. Undergraduate engineering students at the University of Pennsylvania work from the other direction, building RAVI-bot, an award-winning, self-playing robotic sitar (YouTube) programmed to generate music from classical Raga scales and melodies all on its own. For those in the Philadelphia area, be sure to check out a live performance of RAVI-bot at the local Klein Art Gallery.

Love, Bollywood style
It seems apropos today to post about Bollywood and its style of romance and love. Songs are often the equivalent of a bedroom scene, a fact I didn't believe until it was pointed out to me that there were numerous instances of extremely suggestive songs followed by pregnancy. Bollywood also uses songs to arouse patriotic fervour, a trait that master music director A.R. Rahman takes to new heights with his release of the classics Vande Mataram [Motherland, I salute thee] and Jana Gana Mana [India's national anthem]. But even before him, there were classics of public service advertising such as "Mile sur tera hamara..." a fuzzy video but inspiring nonetheless of the myriads of voices and languages spoken in India. Other loves that hindi cinema celebrates through its songs is that of a mother for a child, god, love across cultural boundaries and what is politely termed as "conjugal love".

Solo Plucked String Sound Detection by the Energy-To-Spectral Flux Ratio (ESFR)
We address the problem of distinguishing solo plucked string sound from speech. Due to the harmonic components present in both types of signals, a low complexity music/speech classifier often misclassifies these signals. To capture the sustained harmonic structures observed in solo plucked string sound, we propose a new feature, the Energy-to-Spectral Flux Ratio (ESFR). The values and the statistics of the ESFR for solo plucked string sound were distinct from those for speech when calculated over windows of 20 to 50 ms. By building a low complexity detector with the ESFR, we demonstrate the discriminating performance of the ESFR feature for the considered problem.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Claudia Rossi and her boyfriend get in touch with their youth by taking a trip into the country in order to participate in a multi-day trail horse race, complete with back-stabbing, intrigue, and lots of fornication. The couple arrives just as Natali and her hunky horse handler George Uhl finish fucking inside the stable and are soon brought up to date on all the race-related gossip.
Although the interpersonal relationships involved in the plot are sometimes hard to follow in the English version, the bottom line is always obvious: these leisurely racers will do any number of things in order to get a leg up on their competition ? sometimes literally. Good ultimately wins out over bad, many horses are ridden, and an appealing selection of pretty faces, pussies and bottoms get fucked along the way.
Retailing: Fillies of the human and horsie kind for those seeking a dose of country fresh fornication.

Blood drive was a success
We would like to thank everyone who patiently waited an hour or more to give blood at the Barre blood drive on July 8. We hope you are enjoying your T-shirt and other goodies. We collected 145 pints and had 12 first-time donors. The Red Cross is constantly trying to fine tune the process to make it more donor-friendly. You can lessen your wait by making an appointment now for the next drive on Sept. 9. The drive is from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Barre Lodge of Elks behind the Aldrich Library. Log on to www.redcrossblood.org or call 800-RED-CROSS to make your appointment. Walk-ins have priority from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
We are looking for a strong volunteer who would be willing to store, put out and collect the three sandwich signs that need to go out the evening before or the morning of the drive at three locations. If you can help in this way, call 479-9002. We would like to thank Gary Williams for volunteering for this job for many years.
Your donation can save up to three lives. Please dont give up on giving blood. Make your appointment now and save lives.

Just thought I'd start a party thread for the month! :)
Tell us about your Birthday Party!
I just figured ours out today.
Ryan is having his here:
Shopped for goodie bags today--luckily, the place we are having it at does everything else (not the cake) and this is about all I have to buy.
It's Star Wars, but I don't think most of her girlfriends would be into it like she is, and who knows about the boys, so this is what I did:
Star Wars bags
a pair of colorful sunglasses with zoo animals on them
smiley face pencils
a crayola crayon toothbrush.
SO many parents have said they HATE candy in them since they are already pumped up on cake, so this is what I went with!
Haleigh's b-day is Sunday (19th) and we are taking her to Sea World. She has no idea. My parents are flying in on wednesday. So it will just be the family at Sea World. I think she'll like it. Hopefully it will be wam enough to go in the water park. She thinks we are going to Peter Piper Pizza and Inflatable Wonderland.
I am just not a bithday party planner and up until this year when she started pre-k, dd hasn't had any friends. I saw my parents at parties and they never got to enjoy us enjoying it. I rather make it a day all about them doing something totatally awsome. Last year we went to the Zoo here for the first time and the childrens museum.
- Charity
Charity, I am a TOTAL freak about Sea World!! OMG!!! That is a dream come true for me! LOL! DH and I spent our honeymoon in San Diego, and we were there one day for like 12 hours!!! ;)
I love Sea World too. This one is here in San Antonio. So its a little different, not as big, but has roller coasters and a larger water park than the one in San Diego. You should come here one time, its closer to you than SD. I was born and raised near Los Angeles, so I've been to the SD one several times. I even got to do a sleep over there once. That was an awsome experience.
ETA: Hmm, maybe the military will move us to Florida and I'll get to visit that Sea World too. I'll have the trifecta of sea world experiences. LOL.
- Charity
OH! One of my BFF's moved to San Antonio last year! I MUST tell her the fact that they haven't been yet is A SIN!!! :)
I'm in full party mode! We went to Target after school, and I found the CUTEST cupcakes for her class! 24 in all--four sets of six in the shape of flowers. I'll take a pic. THEN, I got a small cake for the four of us tomorrow night when we do her family presents--and I forgot that I want to get glow sticks for the goodie bags (light sabers! LOL), so I need to get those later. I have this fear about the school thing tomorrow. All of her friends that she invited are SO vocal about it being her party at Mr. Biggs whenever they see her. I fear that as soon as the teacher says it's time to do Olivia's b-day celebration, the ones who are coming will freak out and start talking about the party. I DO NOT want to make the others feel bad!!! I gave out invites to the parents personally. I HOPE they just get involved in the cupcakes and book and forget about Sat! Wish me luck! I will be there too, so I don't know WHAT I'll do! I'm going to try to get a video and some pics at school.Her teacher has us make a b-day book about their lives so far, and I have that posted on Facebook---is anybody here on Facebook??
Olivia's party sounds like so much FUN!
As for Facebook, that is my 2nd home. I hate talking on the phone so friends and family get me on there every other day or so. I don't post much but pictures, video here and there but it cuts down on my computer time ALOT so I love it! I also love seeing everyone's family... and what they are up to from day to day.
OH fingers crossed!!! It's INSANE weather here in the Denver area!!!! The party is indoors at noon, so I'm HOPING!!! People out of power, I-70 closed, feet upon feet of snow, but it ends at noon! We'll see---I KNOW some of my family can't come--see the highway closure--but I'm HOPING that most of her friends from school can come!! They all live pretty close to the place, so fingers crossed!! Never fear! It will be near 80 by Weds or Thurs. SIGH.
Is olivia's party today - the day with all the snow???? Am i reading that right?? im so sorry....
we had charlies yesetrday. he had a blast. it was here,
it ended up being 29 kids out of the 35. his bday is the 30th but we did it now b/c we are on spring break. favors were dinsoaur coloring kits for boys nadp rincess for girls. we will have dinosaur cupckaed for hisscool party and then i will make them dinosaur goodie bags. he said it was the best bday ever...

I'm confused about when "se" should be used. I thought it would always go before a like here:
Ella se mejora a su coche
but I see here that it is not being used.
Él observa a su hija
My question is, when is
se used before the verb?
I'm confused about when "se" should be used. I thought it would always go before a like here:
but I see here that it is not being used.
My question is, when is
Emilio's links are correct.
I will focus on the wide use of
In your first example you can drop the reflexive pronoun and everybody will understand you, it is just extra information.
In the second example you mention:
You are asking about Él se observa a su hija
Él se observa a su hija --> He watches by himself to her daughter / He watches her daughter (by) himself.
I am not English but it sounds a bit strange to add
I think I won't be wrong if I ask you to put in these sentences the pronoun themselves.
Las enfermeras están vigilando a los chicos --> The nurses are watching the children.
For other uses you can use this website http://spanish.about.com/
I am learning English so this answer can contain errors when it comes about translations and different uses of pronouns in English examples
SE Reflexivo.
Reflexive verbs are, in my opinion, the easiest
At the bottom of the list above are some other reflexives that do not express emotion, but rather, consumption of some kind, whether it be yourself or something else, a consumption of ... all of it... as the quote says.
SE Recíproco.
I would call this the opposite of a Reflexive verb. These are personal verbs that involve another subject, as the definition suggests.
SE Accidental.
In the Spanish language, for some reason, they do not accept the blame. You don't forget your wallet, your wallet forgets you. It's strange, but it's true.
SE Impersonal.
You will often hear this usage when you are asked how to say something.
Using English as an example you can see the trend used in this form of SE.
In English, we use "they" or "you" a lot to explain instructions, or advertisements, or, mainly, just to generalize... in some cases, "we"... as in
Other English examples -- in spanish.
This impersonal "se" is a bit tricky to get used to. I still use it incorrectly to this day, even after 15+ years of practice and education.
Taken from my Advanced Spanish Manual, written by Veronica Martinez of ITESM Querétaro.
Just wanted to add some additional examples to maybe help clear your confusion of when to use se or when not to use, coming from a native speaker.
As others have already mentioned, the main use of "se" is reflexive. Compare/contrast the meaning of the following examples:
A more complicated example could be something that is inherently reflexive, like
but I would argue that the fact these two statements express is the same, perhaps with only a slight change in emphasis. I hope these examples helped clear some of your confusion up.

LUBBOCK - Texas A&M's trademark pressure defense tightened up when it had to Wednesday night.
Texas Tech failed to score in the final three minutes as the No. 19 Aggies rallied for a 49-47 victory in front of an announced crowd of 10,185 at United Spirit Arena.
It was A&M's first win in Lubbock since 1980, snapping a 19-game losing streak on Tech's home floor.
"You think Will Rogers will get off his horse tonight," Texas A&M coach Gary Blair playfully asked about the Tech statue whose posterior, according to legend, was purposely pointed in the general direction of College Station.
"(Ending) the streak means a lot," Blair added. "It's special to win here."
Tech (10-7, 1-2 in Big 12) took a 47-44 lead on a put-back by Patrice Edwards with three minutes remaining.
But A'Quonesia Franklin made a 3-point field goal from the top of the key to tie the game just when it seemed as if Tech's defense had frustrated the Aggies. The Lady Raiders switched to their matchup zone defense in the final few minutes, and A&M struggled to find open looks, going four minutes without a field goal.
Franklin's big bucket ended the drought.
"That was huge because we were dying out there against that zone," Blair said. "(Franklin) is not afraid. She has ice water in her veins."
Still, the Lady Raiders had a chance to take the lead on their next possession, but freshman Jordan Murphree missed two free throws, adding to Tech's woes from the foul line.
"I thought it was a lack of concentration and a lack of mental toughness down the stretch," Tech coach Kristy Curry said. "Obviously, you don't miss 13 free throws and beat a top-20 team."
On A&M's next possession, Morenike Atunrase sank a running jumper with 1:04 left that served as the game-winner.
Tech struggled to find an open shot on its final two possessions, and Murphree's desperation heave at the buzzer from 35 feet hit the front of the rim.
Tech shot a season-low 40.9 percent (9-of-22) from the free-throw line and made 4-of-12 (33.3 percent) in the decisive second half.
"When you look at it, that's not even 50 percent," Tech guard Chesley Dabbs said. "That's horrible."
Tech made just two field goals in the first eight minutes of the second half, allowing A&M to turn 25-25 halftime tie into a 37-32 lead with 13:10 left.
But Dabbs nailed a 3-point field goal from the left wing to end a three-minute scoring drought. A few possessions later, Robertson added a running jumper and Murphree converted a fast-break layup down the lane on a beautiful set-up pass by Brooke Baughman. The two buckets tied the game at 41.

The Big Apple turned green on Monday for St. Patrick's Day.
But some big names refused to join in because of gay and lesbian groups not being allowed to march openly.
On Sunday, March 16 beer-maker Guinness announced it was dropping its sponsorship of the parade. That announcement came just days after Heineken said it too was pulling its support.
However, beer makers weren't the only ones to drop out. Last month Mayor Bill De Blasio and New York's City Council said they would boycott the parade.
According to the New York Times, De Blasio is the first mayor to skip the parade in more than two decades.
Gay rights groups are applauding, but some of New York's religious leaders have expressed outrage over the mayoral snub.

Lindsay Lohan Speaks Out
For the first time in a long time, Lindsay Lohan has something to say that isn't simply a denial of her and Samantha Ronson breaking up.
The troubled actress - who has remained relatively quiet and headline-free since she became a lesbian - gave an in-depth interview recently to Interview Magazine. Here are excerpts from it:

SCRANTON, Pa. (May 4, 2013)--The actors who play Pam, Jim, Dwight and other characters in the long-running NBC show "The Office" were in the northeastern Pennsylvania city that is home to their fictional firm Saturday ahead of the series finale this month.
The mockumentary about cubicle-dwellers at the Scranton branch of fictional Dunder Mifflin paper company wraps up May 16 after nine seasons.
Thousands of tickets have been sold for Saturday's "Wrap Party," which includes a question-and-answer session, a parade, a street festival and a farewell celebration at PNC Field, a minor-league ballpark.

Six new scenes in the now-familiar PickUp Lines style, all with cool jazz in elegant surroundings. Notably, blonde cutie Lola entices her tanned stud in a kitchen before they start shoving the salami on the dining table, Jade gets chased through a very angular mansion, and Monica Sweetheart enters a room to get serviced by Byron Long and Mark Anthony. The Corina scene features a disorienting shot through an aquarium filled with what looks for just a moment like flying - or at least hovering - fish.
Eleven minutes of greatest hits from PickUp Lines past end the tape. This could motivate rentals of back catalog from the early numbers.

so, no matter how many times i read the code about multiple loops, I'm STILL completely confused.
Can someone tell me straight, with code, what the answer is?
If i have a page with 2 divs and each one wants to have the content from 2 different posts. How do I do it?
query_posts is bad multiple times on a page?
I hate the loops where you have to write "echo <h1>" etc etc as I just want to write html.
Are there any super-simple explanations out there??
When do you use rewind_post?
How do I know if I'm looping through the same query? What does this mean?? If i'm not looping through the same query then can I keep using more and more query_posts ??
When do i use WP_Query?
Please don't send me the the multiple_loops codex page, I don't understand it.
Here's a start, which I think is wrong cos I use query_posts:

HARTSELLE, Ala. (AP) - Authorities in Hartselle recovered the
body of a teenager who drowned at a rock quarry.
The 16-year-old boy's name was withheld because his family has
not been notified.
The drowning occurred just before 3 p.m. Sunday at Cedar Cove
rock quarry in Morgan County.
Emergency personnel pulled the boy from the water, but were
unable to revive him with CPR.

Do It Yourself, Honey: Urban farmers take living well into their own hands

Give a girl a tea cozy and her tea will be ... cozy? Teach her to make a tea cozy and all of her friends and family members will have them, too—whether they need them or not. This year, consider giving someone you love the gift of knowledge—or, if you're a fast learner, craft your own presents. Below are a handful of businesses and organizations with a specialty in instruction.
Derek Caterwaul is a promoter of local DIY music and arts events, as well as a DJ—most notably he's a long-time host on KUNM's "Music to Soothe the Savage Beast" on Tuesday nights. Appropriately, his contribution of random tracks may be the most obscure this column has seen since its inception a year ago.
When 14-year-old Marlo McCarter first saw a derby skater on TV this summer, she was so stoked that she started begging her mom and grandma to take her to see some live bouts.
Demons and miscellaneous beasts battle 16th-century knights in a (ultimately victorious) struggle to proclaim noise/conceptual/prog-metal performances by The Body, Sandia Man and Iceolus. The show happens at Andre's Underground (3503 Central NE) on Sunday, Aug. 15, at 8 p.m. Five dollars purchases entry to the all-ages show. (Jessica Cassyle Carr)
In life there are certain truths: What goes up must come down, all's fair in love and war, a stitch in time saves nine and one who makes a synthesizer out of a cougar pelt is wicked awesome. Musician, teacher and installation artist Raven Chacon is familiar with the latter, having made just that as part of a Winnipeg-based project by his interdisciplinary American Indian arts collective, Postcommodity. When the piece is pet, the pelt synth purrs, and when it's twisted it raars. The group also fashioned an antler cello and antler harp, and made a drum from a boar bladder and a coffee can. The instruments, says Chacon, are meant to be played by a futuristic tribe representing the last of its culture.
The artist behind this fanciful flyer seems to reference '70s illustration and a certain children's show that was filled with an ensemble cast of Muppets and really strange animated shorts. Blocky text contrasts with pale yellow watercolor, and the viewer learns that Gay Beast, XRY, The Gatherers and Discotays will play at Wunderkind (1016 Coal SW) at 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 11, amidst a shower of multicolored circles. See the glam / psychedelic / new wave magic, and possibly a few unnamed acts, for only $5. (Jessica Cassyle Carr)
For the mathematically uninclined, calculus looks less like math and more like an indecipherable secret language. Instead of explaining anything, it simply adds more mystery and, often, a little bit of fear. Fortunately, math fans and foes can get together under the domed ceiling of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (1801 Mountain NW) to see math in action in a much more meaningful manner. "First Friday Fractals" takes mathematically complex geometric shapes, projects them, zooms in close to show their detail and complexity, and makes math beautiful. Shows are Friday, July 2, at 6, 7 and 8 p.m. The cost is $5 for kids 3 to 12, $7 for seniors and $10 for everybody else. Get tickets at nmnaturalhistory.org or at the museum.
I love it when people do what they love, not for fame or fortune, but just because it makes them happy. When what they love can be shared, it's even better.
This weekend Santa Fe musician rosS Hamlin (yes, he likes to capitalize his name funny, he's a quirky dude) launches a brand new music venue in the Fe with a festival of sound.
A little history: About a year ago Santa Fe's only independent record store had to shutter part of its business due to the death of the owner. Fortunately, the musical instrument part of the biz stayed around. That left a void for vinyl junkies but allowed Hamlin to take over part of the now empty building for his own purposes--to rock.
Now, just a few months after Hamlin got the wacky idea in his head, Little Wing is leaping from the nest. If you find yourself up north, please stop in. I plan to bounce in and out of of the fest all weekend and will kick myself if I miss J.A. Deane (an electronic music wizard), my pal Cole Wilson (a guy with a banjo strung with Christmas lights) and I Heart Metal (the not-so-secret musical alter ego of the Santa Fe Reporter's music critic Alex DeVore). There's a full set list here and the fun begins tonight at 5 p.m. and 2 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

i am working on a page on my site i want to use as a "classified's" section.
i would like it to have 3 rows of content rather then content and sidebar.
i have read hacks about how to make it 3 column by adding another sidebar but that is not what i am looking for.
is there a code snippet ro something similar that would allow me to have 3 columns across with content?


text: I've installed WP and thought everything was hunky-dory. It looked good when I checked it and I was beginning to get everything just how I wanted it. Imagine my surprise when I check it from a remote machine for the first time and realize that none of the graphics appear. Only black and blue text, nothing of my customized theme, shows up. I've checkd my permissions and everything should be normal. I have no clue what could be doing this, though I suspect something foul is afoot. Again, when I check it locally, it's perfectly fine, when I check it remotely, no graphics whatsoever. All help is appreciated.

Just for fun...
35 games left in the season for us.
We play .500 ball and go 18-17, we finish at 91-71.
Cards would have to go 23-15 to tie.
If we keep up with our current winning percentage (.575) and go 20-15 we finish at 93-69.
Cards would have to go 25-13 to tie.
And finally if you take our records how weve done against the teams we have left to play on our schedule it would go like this...
3 games vs cubs (we are 11-2 against them) so ill go with 2-1 (even though weve swept the last 2 series vs them).
9 vs the Brewers (we are 4-1 against them) so approx 7-2.
3 vs the Cards (we are 5-10 against them) so 1-2.
4 against Colorado (we are 2-1 against them) so 3-1. (since I didnt give us the ben of the doubt in the Cubs series)
3 against Pirates (who we are 8-5 against) so 2-1.
4 against Arizona (who we are 1.000 perncent against) so 4-0.
6 against Houston (who we are 7-1 against) so 5-1.
3 against SD (who we are 1-2 against) so 1-2.
So that would put us at 25-10 and finishing at 98-64.
Cards would have to go 30-8 to tie.
Now that last one obviously seems a tad bit optimistic, but really all we would have to do is play the same way against these teams that we have been all year. I think it just shows we dont have to play amazing to make the playoffs, we just have to keep playing like we have all year and maybe even a little less would kill us and we have a good shot to make the playoffs.

I've checked various related questions already posted about detecting mobile devices for websites, but my method is a bit different to anything i've seen and wanted to know if anyone can see any issues with it.
What I'm doing is...
I have a httpmodule that does a server.transfer(); to a blank html page on the first request of a user visit.
On this blank html page is some javascript that detects the viewport width/height and touch capability. The js then saves this info to a client cookie and then redirects (via window.location) to the originally requested page.
When the httpmodule gets hit again, it reads the viewport and touch screen details from the client cookie. If touch is available or the viewport width is less than say 480px then the httpmodule will redirect (via Response.Redirect()) to the mobile version of the website.
Is there any stumbling block I will likely encounter by doing this?
I should note that the tablet version of the site is the same as the mobile, which is why I want to redirect to this version if touch is available.

This year's Addiction Medicine 2016 Conference will once again provide up-to-date substance abuse related education, applicable across general medical as well as addiction specialty practices. Dr. Thomas McLellan (former ONDCP Deputy Director) will deliver the opening plenary, providing an update on substance abuse treatment in an evolving health care landscape, followed by presentations on the evolving opioid epidemic, a review of complex co-morbidities – both medical and psychiatric, and a review and discussion of cannabis' potential roles in reducing harm or increasing risks. As in years past, a range of workshops, will also allow participants to select areas for individualized attention.
New this year is a Pre-Conference day on April 21 including two longer skill-based workshops: Motivational Interviewing: A Foundation for Helping Patients with Substance Use Problems and The ABCs of Pain Management: Skills for the Specialist and Non-specialist Alike. Both workshops can link to training elements of the main conference, allowing for even more in-depth attention to these topics.
All of this, plus time for person to person networking in a beautiful springtime mountain setting!
