Champions League
The European Cup is the most prestigious club tournament in world football and in the last few years, since its expansion into its current Champions League format, the tournament has become even more honoured (if that's even possible!) with teams battling away every season to become part of the rich history of the European Cup.
It is this history which makes the tournament so alluring to players and fans alike, with some of the world's greatest ever teams and players taking part over the years with certain clubs, through shear consistency, becoming synonymous with the tournament. Here are the most successful teams in the history of this great tournament...
Real Madrid
Madrid have won more European Cups than any other club and, with 9 trophies, will forever be inextricably linked to "the cup with the big ears". The Spanish Giants won the first five European Cup titles with a team that included such giants as Alferdo di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas, and their win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1960 final, a match that finished 7-3, is thought of as one off the greatest finals in history. Real's history in the last 20 years isn't so bad also, with the side winning the 1998, 2000 and 2002 tournaments as well, led by the mercurial talents of Pedrag Mijatovic, Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane respectively.
AC Milan are truly giants of the European game and with seven European Cups, they have a trophy cabinet to back this assertion up. Milan, with players such as Gianni Rivera in their side and legendary manager Nereo Rocco in control, won two trophies in the 1960s and Legendary skipper Paolo Maldini guided the Rossoneri to 5 more titles between 1989 and 2007.
England's most successful club are next on the list having won 5 titles. Bob Paisley wrapped up the first three of these titles in the late 1970s and early 80s in a period of English dominance in the competition, before Joe Fagan defeated Roma in the 1984 final. Their most famous victory probably came against Milan in the 2005 final when they came back from 3-0 down at half time to win on penalties.
Although there are many new faces in the Champions League this season, the same old faces are favourites for the title with teams like Madrid, Barcelona, Milan and Inter highly fancied to win the tournament.

John A. Sherwin
I just took a call from a perplexed voter, who wanted to follow our advice to write in Peter Sherwin for the monorail board. But our cheat sheet lists "John A. Sherwin."
Here's the deal: For a write-in to be counted, you have to fill in the person's name, as it's officially listed on their own voter registration. (We learned that back when we encouraged folks to write in Nick Licataer, Nicholas J. Licatafor mayor.)
We called Peter, made him dig out his registration card (while refusing to tell him why), and asked him what his official name is. It's John A. Sherwin.

Robert Stiller
|This biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (May 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Robert Reuven Stiller (born Warsaw, Poland, 25 January 1928) is a Polish polyglot, writer, poet, translator and editor.
Stiller was born in Warsaw, Poland, to Polish parents and spent his early childhood in what is now Belarus. His father was of Jewish-Austrian descent.
At Warsaw University, Stiller studied Polish, Slavic, and Indian languages and literatures; and at the University of Iceland, in Reykjavík, Old Norse.
His scholarly activities have also spanned English, German, Russian, Polynesian, Jewish and Scandinavian literatures.
As a literary critic, he has specialized in the arts of translation and editorship. He has himself been an editor at several journals and publishing houses.
Most of Stiller's publications, including some 300 books, are translations of prose and poetry from thirty-odd languages, chiefly English, German, Russian and Malay, as well as French, Spanish, Middle High German, Old English, Old Norse, Icelandic, Swedish, Dutch, Yiddish, Hebrew, Latin, Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian, Lusatian, Sanskrit, Chinese and others. His translations are often accompanied by extensive critical essays and commentaries.
Stiller has done literary research (six years altogether) in England, Iceland, Denmark, Germany, France, Netherlands, Russia, Ukraine, United States, Central Asia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
In addition to his translations, he is a poet, playwright and the author of books and essays about language.
Among Stiller's literary oeuvre, of particular note is his version of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, in which he has succeeded in conveying at once both the sense and the sound of the original, despite all that novel's formal literary complexities.
Also noteworthy is Stiller's Anthology of Malay Literature, which includes nearly 80 pages of introduction and over 500 pages of the most varied writings, translated from the Malay.
Shortly after the 2006 death of his old friend Stanisław Lem, a writer of science-fiction fame, Stiller published a book of reminiscences — Lemie! po co umarłeś? Opowieść w reminiscencjach (Lem, What Did You Die For? A Story in Reminiscences), Kraków, vis-à-vis/etiuda, 2006.
In 2009 he published a 685-page volume of his collected poetry, Poetyka pierwszej dziewiątki (Katowice, Wydawnictwo KOS), which includes a CD of his readings of selected poems.
Stiller lives in Józefów, near Warsaw, with his sixth wife, Nina, née Gajewska, a singer, dancer and actress.

LETTER: No need to demonize the opposition
Published: Sunday, May 25, 2014 at 10:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 25, 2014 at 10:51 p.m.
Dear Editor: Four times in the past few months, I have written my state senator (District 21).
Despite representing me, he has not responded. I am offended that he continues to blame everything bad on sinister "liberals," who unlike him are unpatriotic and against "family values" (his definition of "family values"). Recent campaign literature says he is "fighting corrupt liberal special interests."
The senator demonizes those left of center on the political spectrum. No civilized political discussion can occur when that spectrum is turned into merely a moral one, with conservatives as defenders of moral values and liberals as evil. The senator once said that "the liberal side of our country ... want[s] to take everything that's good and decent away from us that we have embraced as America." In America, demonizing those who disagree with you, especially as an elected official, seems both undemocratic and un-Christian, though the senator loudly touts his Christianity.
There are good conservatives and good liberals. I reminded the senator that he should recall the admiration and mutual respect between U.S. Sens. Barry Goldwater and George McGovern and Orrin Hatch and Ted Kennedy — respect movingly displayed at the University of Alabama a few years ago by Senate opponents McGovern and Robert Dole. Those Republican giants didn't make demeaning "liberal" references to those on the other side. They accepted that even closest friends in a democracy will disagree. This makes for a healthy debate and a better world.
So, senator, despite philosophical differences, please respect the opposition.

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
Creators | Stan Lee will cut his visit to this weekend's Dallas Comic-Con short and has canceled his appearance at Monday's Hero Complex Film Festival. A spokesman for POW! Entertainment said Lee, 89, is distraught and depressed after the death of Arthur Lieberman, one of his business associates at POW!, and is also fatigued after multiple appearances promoting The Avengers. Lee will appear Saturday at the Dallas Comic-Con, but not on Sunday. [Hero Complex]
Publishing | Todd Allen notes that DC Comics has dropped some titles from its subscription service, including Aquaman, Batwoman and Swamp Thing. The move seems to be motivated by low sales in that channel, and Allen takes that as evidence DC is being cost-conscious. They are offering substitute series to subscribers, but it's not clear what the logic is behind the substitutions. DC has also just launched a web store that sells lots of merch and a handful of graphic novels. [The Beat]
The producers of the $75 million Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark have to pay $9,750 a week in royalties to ousted director Julie Taymor as part of a settlement with her union.
The New York Times reports that the agreement announced today with the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society affect the lawsuits filed against each other by Taymor and the producers, but instead settles an earlier grievance pressed by the union concerning Taymor's contract rights as director. The dueling federal suits address her role as a creator and writer of the once-troubled show.
Taymor was fired in March from the much-delayed and -derided production following her resistance to making any major changes in the wake of a series of blistering reviews. (The producers contend she refused to create an original, family-friendly musical based on Marvel's Spider-Man and instead "insisted on developing a dark, disjointed and hallucinogenic musical involving suicide, sex and death.") A new creative team was brought in to overhaul Spider-Man — many of Taymor's signature elements were stripped in the process — transforming it into one of the most successful, if also most expensive, shows on Broadway. It regularly grosses more than $1.3 million a week.
According to The Times, producers had hoped to only pay Taymor royalties only through her firing nearly a year ago instead of, potentially, for years to come. They also agreed to pay her an undisclosed sum for subsequent productions or tours outside of New York. Taymor, meanwhile agreed to defer her royalty payments for collaborator — they amount to about $4,000 a week — until Spider-Man's backers recoup their $75 million investment, which will take several years.
The producers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark struck back Tuesday against a lawsuit by Julie Taymor, claiming the former director violated her own contract before she was fired in March, and shouldn't receive any royalties from the $75 million Broadway musical.
Taymor, who also co-wrote the long-troubled show, sued producers in November, arguing that the overhauled musical violates her copyrights. She also said she deserves full credit and pay, despite her public ouster. Taymor seeks at least $1 million, as well as future royalties.
But according to The New York Times, the producers' countersuit insists Taymor "could not and would not do the jobs that she was contracted to do," forcing others to undertake those responsibilities, resulting in a new show over which she has no claim.
In the court filing they say Taymor refused to create an original, family-friendly musical based on Marvel's Spider-Man and instead "insisted on developing a dark, disjointed and hallucinogenic musical involving suicide, sex and death."
Following Taymor's firing, Spider-Man shut down for three weeks to undergo an overhaul at the hands of new director Philip William McKinley and writers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Glen Berger. When the musical returned in mid-May for previews, it was described as "virtually unrecognizable" from the show savaged by critics in February.
"As a result of all of the changes that Taymor could not and would not make, the Spider-Man musical is now a hit," the producers say in their suit. "The show is a success despite Taymor, not because of her."
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, which costs $1.2 million a week to produce, grossed about $1.4 million last week, behind Wicked and The Lion King. It has brought in about $81 million since performances began in November 2010.
Another cast member of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was injured Wednesday, the first since the once accident-prone Broadway musical underwent a sweeping overhaul in April.
Newsday reports that Matthew James Thomas, who plays Peter Parker in the Wednesday and Saturday matinees, suffered a head injury backstage at the Foxwoods Theatre near the beginning of the second act. Production stopped for about 10 minutes as Thomas was taken to the hospital for stitches. Star Reeve Carney, who happened to be in the theater at the time of the mishap, stepped into the role for the rest of the performance.
Producers described Thomas' injury as "minor," and released a statement saying, "He is fine and will be back in the show for his next scheduled performance on Saturday."
Thomas, who was named as Carney's fill-in about a year ago, is the sixth performer to be injured in the $70-million musical. The most recent was Arachne actress T.V. Carpio, who was hurt March 16 during one of the show's many fight scenes (she replaced Natalie Mendoza, who left after suffering a concussion during the problem-filled first preview). The worst, however, was aerialist Christopher Tierney, who fell about 30 feet in December, breaking four ribs and fracturing three vertebrae. He returned to rehearsals in April.
The latest injury comes just as original director Julie Taymor, who was forced out of Spider-Man in March after five delays and a barrage of scathing reviews, filed a lawsuit against the producers, demanding proper pay and credit.
Broadway | Reeve Carney, who plays Peter Parker and Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, has extended his contract with the musical through May. Carney's original contract was set to expire in November. "I can't imagine a more wonderful, harder-working company than my mates on Broadway, and I look forward to being with them until shooting begins, and again as soon as we've wrapped," he said. [Wall Street Journal]

If you've been following the media on Spider-Man:Turn Off the Dark, then no doubt you've already heard "Rise Above," the song written by Bono and the Edge for the multimillion-dollar musical. If not, the producers have you covered, as they've released a video of the song featuring the two U2 members and Reeve Carney, who plays the webslinger on Broadway. The video shows rehearsals as well as a few on-stage clips, but probably not nearly enough Spider-Man. Watch it above and see.
While the pre-overhaul Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark seemed somewhat avant garde, maybe even surreal, with its eight-legged spider goddess, Swiss knife-inspired villainess and DayGlo Goblin, the upcoming Batman Live struck me as pretty straightforward: For all of its bullet-time effects, the first trailer for the arena tour looked like someone had simply translated Batman: Hush into a live-action production.
But then today England's Liverpool Echo released a four-minute sneak peek of the show, and "straightforward" went right out the window. The sequence, bathed in black light, is somehow both languid and manic, with Batman confronted first by a gigantic head of Joker, and then by his minions — who form the teeth of the demonic maw before dropping down and rolling onto the stage. The scene turns even more disturbing as the henchmen form into some kind of psychedelic majorette troupe that's seen too many performances of Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk. All the while, Dick Grayson is being held captive in … a big hamster ball.
Watch the trailer after the break (you won't be sorry). Batman Live opens July 19 in England, and then finds its way to North America in August 2012. After seeing this delirium-inducing preview, all I can say is it can't get here soon enough.
Broadway | Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, the retooled $75 million Broadway musical, took in $1.7 million for the week ending this past Sunday, which is above the $1.2 million the producers have indicated they need to reach to stay viable. The amount made it the No. 3 musical for the week, after Wicked and The Lion King. [Associated Press]
Legal | Robert Corn-Revere, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's general counsel, discusses the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. EMA, which sought to ban the sale of violent video games to minors. He notes that the court drew upon the history of comic book censorship in reaching its conclusion to reject the ban: "Citing the amicus brief filed by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, it noted the crusade against comics led by Dr. Frederic Wertham and observed that it was inconsistent with our constitutional traditions. The Court traced the history of censorship that targeted various media directed toward the young and held that restricting depictions of violence could not be justified under established principles of First Amendment law." [CBLDF]
Retailing | Bankrupt bookseller Borders Group said in court papers filed Friday that it will name a stalking-horse bidder by July 1, with an eye toward completing the sale of all of its assets by the end of July. The Detroit News spotlights the two private-equity firms that have placed bids to buy at least a majority of the book chain's 416 remaining stores: Phoenix-based Najafi Cos., which owns the Book of the Month Club, Columbia House and BMG; and Los Angeles-based Gores Group — the likely stalking-horse bidder — whose investments include Alliance Entertainment and Westwood One.

Legal | Peanutweeter, a blog that combined frames from Charles Schulz's Peanuts strips with real, out-of-context tweets, has been taken down by Tumblr as the result of a Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint from Iconix Brand Group, which acquired a majority stake in the Peanuts assets last year. One blogger, however, argues the blog should be considered fair use. [RIPeanutweeter, Boing Boing]
Theater critics and even Sesame Street have had their say on the long-troubled musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, which finally — finally! — opened on Tuesday. And then Conan O'Brien took his turn, examining the assessment by Ben Brantley of The New York Times that the revamped $70-million production is suitable only for "a less-than-precocious child of 10 or so."
O'Brien reimagines a scene from the show an elementary-school nutrition play that takes a disturbing turn about the time a G-string clad Green Goblin makes an appearance waving around an enormous banana and carrot. And then things get worse …
In a perfectly timed parody, Sesame Street has released a preview of its upcoming spoof of the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark a day before the long-troubled musical is finally set to open. The video features Grover as Spider-Man (or, perhaps, star Reeve Carney), along with a couple of felt-covered jabs at Bono. Sesame Street begins its 42nd season in September.
Publishing | May marked the worst month of the year for the direct market since January as sales of comic books and graphic novels fell 11.21 percent versus May 2010. Chart watcher John Jackson Miller chalks up the decline to a combination of retailers ordering more Free Comic Book Day titles than "for-profit" books and publishers' summer events heating up a little later this year. Marvel led Diamond Comic Distributors' list of top comics for the month with Fear Itself #2, followed by the first issue of DC's Flashpoint. Avatar topped the graphic novel chart with Crossed 3D, Vol. 1. [The Comichron]
Legal | The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has joined a coalition that includes booksellers, media companies and the ACLU of Utah in seeking to permanently stop enforcement of a 2005 Utah statute that would regulate Internet speech that some consider "harmful to minors," including works of art, graphic novels, information about sexual health and the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth. The law has not gone into effect because Utah consented to a temporary injunction until the case can be decided. [press release]
Awards | A reminder: Online voting ends today for the 2011 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards. The winners will be announced July 22 during Comic-Con International in San Diego. [Eisner Awards]
Broadway | As of last night's preview performance, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is officially "frozen," meaning there will be no more script rewrites, new lyrics or altered choreography before the $70-million musical opens on Tuesday. In fact, the producers are confident enough to invite critics to attend previews over the next three nights, with their reviews to be published after the opening. "The show, in my opinion, is bulletproof at this point," Reeve Carney, who stars as Peter Parker, told The New York Times. "I mean, as bulletproof as anything can be. And we want to do right by the people who stood by us, to help this show be seen for what it is."
However, it's not all good news for opening night. The New York Post reports that producers hoped the Empire State Building would be lit in red and blue on Tuesday, but the landmark's owners would do it only if a change were made to the show: specifically, that the climactic battle between Spider-Man and Green Goblin be moved from the Chrysler Building to … the Empire State Building. [The New York Times]

Publishing | We noted in late April that Archie Comics appeared to be embracing cultural and political commentary with its upcoming Kevin Keller miniseries, which features Riverdale's first openly gay character and his father, a retired three-star general. But now the publisher, or at least the character, is going a step further, marching into the middle of the debate over gays and lesbians openly serving in the armed forces by revealing that Kevin aspires to be a journalist, but only after attending the U.S. Military Academy and becoming an Army officer. "Even though we don't tackle the specific issue of Don't Ask Don' Tell, the goal was to show that patriotism knows no specific gender, race or sexual orientation," cartoonist Dan Parent says. "While it sounds like heavy subject matter, I tried to show it simply that Kevin, like his dad, loves his country. Being gay doesn't effect that in any way." [The Associated Press]
Publishing | DC Comics' line-wide reboot has received extensive coverage by mainstream media outlets, based largely on the original USA Today article or The Associated Press report. But my favorite piece is this one by George Gene Gustines that turns back the clock to 1985 and attempts to explain to The New York Times audience the effects, and problems, of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and the publisher's subsequent attempts to streamline continuity: "… If the goal was to make the DC universe easier to understand, the end result was the opposite: to this day, fans frequently mention 'pre-Crisis' and 'post-Crisis' as a way to distinguish stories. Twenty years later, in the Infinite Crisis limited series, DC tried to clean continuity up again: Superman's career as Superboy was back; Batman knew who murdered the Waynes; and Wonder Woman was a founder of the Justice League again." [The New York Times]
Publishing | Marvel's Fear Itself #1 topped Diamond Comic Distributors' April charts with an estimated 128,595 copies, the highest monthly sales for a comic since X-Men #1 surpassed 140,000 copies nine months ago. Retail news and analysis site ICv2 sees the strong debut of that crossover and the performance of DC's Flashpoint prequels as signs "that this summer's big events may be able to reverse the downward sales trend in the first quarter of 2011."
DC's Fables, Vol. 15: Rose Red led the graphic novel category with about 11,600 copies, followed distantly by Dynamite's The Boys, Vol. 8: Highland Laddie. [ICv2.com]
Retailing | The bankrupt Borders Group reportedly has been unable to find a buyer for its entire business, which could signal the end of the second-largest book chain in the United States. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in February, and is closing about one-third of its locations. [Detroit Free Press]

Hey Otto,
Firstly, thanks for an awesome plugin!
I've noticed that the method Simple Facebook Connect uses to generate Open Graph tags causes the post or page being displayed to be processed twice: once to extract the tags, and once to show to the user. This can cause conflicts with other plugins which trigger actions (such as sending an email or performing some other transaction) when their content filters or shortcodes are run. Most content filters work fine when called twice, but in some cases this causes breakage.
Would it be possible to generate Open Graph tags after WordPress has run its normal content filters, say by registering a content filter of your own with a high priority?
I like SFC, but the way content filters get called twice has caused me grief in the past, and it always surprises me when I get tripped up by this.

"Suicide Squad" B-Roll Footage Reveals Harley Quinn's Classic Jester Costume
Film, Comic Books
So claims former Marvel Talent Coordinator Bon Alimagno in his latest portfolio review at iFanboy. And I believe him.
Alimagno was at Marvel from 2009 to 2011, and during that time he helped to establish a system of colorists pinch hitting on deadline crunches. But perhaps more significantly, he helped foster a house style based not on a specific penciler's style but on a color palette he nicknamed "the perfect sunset" palette.
"From my time at Marvel, the editors valued colorists with warmer palettes rooted in playing off reds and oranges and lighter yellows and blues. Led by Richard Isanove, Laura Martin and Justin Ponsor, this style set the tone for the entire line and gave Marvel's comics a much more inviting look and feel than most of the DC Comics line."
This kind of consistent color tone could also help other books stand out when they broke the pattern. As he explains, Dean White's work on Uncanny X-Force, which went against this palette by using whites, helped turn a lot of heads to Jerome Opeña's art. The next time you're at the comic shop, take a look at Marvel's new releases and see if you can identify what palette is being used.
Organizations | The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has named Alex Cox as its deputy director, responsible for oversight of the organization's home office and fundraising program. Cox, who came to the CBLDF in 2010, previously served as development manager. [CBLDF]
Publishing | Marvel Talent Coordinator Bon Alimagno is leaving the publisher for a position at San Francisco-based software company The Apollo Group. Previously editor of Harris Comics, Alimagno handled freelance scheduling at Marvel, working with David Bogart, the publisher's senior vice president of business affairs and talent management.

text: Is there a website that offers simple explanations or tutorials for how to change the code for people who have minimal experience working with code? I tried to use the WP Codex doc about designing headers, and it says there's certain code to look for under the Header template, but I've looked through the code and can't find what it's telling me is there (replace a jpg file, but I don't see any jpg files). I have a little experience designing a website - nothing fancy - but this is not my forte, and I need basic explanations. I've completely lost every shred of patience I had using the WP doc.

Today, I read on one of my friend's blogs (Melissa over on "Melissa's Meanderings") that her beloved cat of 16 years old, Milo crossed over to The Rainbow Bridge today from cancer. 16 years! I've never had a cat live that long with me and for some reason, I've been asking people I know, how they let go of animals they love so dearly and how did they move through the grieving process.
I know many people whom don't view their fur babies as than anything other than pets and think it's just another sad factor of life and that's that. But if you know me at all through my blog, my two cats, Miss Bella and Sele mean the world to me and the thought of one day having to say goodbye literally hurts my heart and soul.
I've written before aboutf Tabitha, one of my beautiful girl cats who I had to say goodbye much too early. I don't know if it's any better or worse having to say goodbye when you haven't known a beloved pet that long (as was the case with Tabitha) or having an animal companion like Melissa's "Milo" for such a long time. I don't think either case is easy, it's just inevitable.
I worry about myself sometimes and how devastated I'll feel over loving Miss Bella and Sele, but in some strange way, I know I won't be the only one who will miss their furbabies more than they miss their human family members. O.k. some people would consider this very morbid, but I'd rather not know them. I'm not that close to my parents, and I'm not saying that I wouldn't grieve horribly for them when they die, but it's not the same. One thing we all do share in common is our deep love for our pets.
My dad and stepmom had a Sheltie dog named, Mandy who really was like a daughter (more than I was or probably ever will be and she grew sick as she grew older. My father's mother was also dying at 100 years old the time Mandy grew sick. When my grandmother died, a funeral was held and life went on. But when Mandy passed, and I called to talk to them, there was a message on the telephone to anyone who called, saying that they just weren't in a place to talk to anyone because of Mandy's passing. I felt closer to them than, and really "got them."
Thankfully Miss Bella and Sele are only six years old and in very good health. Well, Sele is a little chubby, but she IS healthy and Miss Bella is sleek and quick. Yet, I know that the only permanent thing in life is impermanence and one day they won't be with me on the physical realm. I refuse to believe that there's any form of heaven where we won't be greeted by our furbabies.
So, I'd really like your help in knowing how you manage to deal with the knowledge that one day you'll have to say goodbye to your furbabies, or how you have in the past.
I found these resources on pet loss and just wanted to share them.
Ten Tips on Coping with Pet Loss by Moira Anderson Allen, M.Ed.
and here are some books I happened to find that I know won't save me from the impact of losing Miss Bella and Sele but will help me feel, that I'm not so alone or strange when they both cross over to the Rainbow Bridge.
"Cherished: 21 Writers on Animals They Have Loved and Lost" by Barbara Abercrombie
All Pets Go To Heaven: The Spiritual Lives of the Animals We Love by Sylvia Browne
Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet by Gary Kowalski
So, please if you want to, stop by Melissa's blog and let her know you care, or light a virtual candle or just say a simple prayer or blessing, that would be wonderful.

Bill would move Vt. primary to early AugustThe Associated Press | April 09,2013MONTPELIER — The Vermont Senate is considering a bill that would move up the state's primary election to early August.
If passed by the full Legislature, the 2014 primary would be held on Aug. 5.
Historically, Vermont's primary was held in mid-September, but prior to the 2010 election the date was moved to late August to ensure the Secretary of State's office has time to produce general election ballots in time to meet federal deadlines, including sending absentee ballots to overseas service members.
The bill would also require town and city clerks to report primary and general election results the day of the election and it would move up the filing deadline for major-party candidates to mid-May rather than early June.
The bill is scheduled for debate in the Senate on Wednesday.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

From Our Editors
Dr. Aziza Askari's extensive training and gentle touch make her the cosmetic dentist of choice for nervous and unflappable patients alike. The staff at the studio focus on creating a spa like ambiance, practicing "calmistry", a technique used to pacify flustered patients. She and her team restore broken and stained smiles with veneers, crowns, and whitening treatments and maintain healthy mouths with cleanings and other preventative services. Lasers play a big role in the office and are used during procedures to reduce the need for drilling, gum swelling, and keep teeth clean. If the studio's spa-like atmosphere isn't enough to ease dentist chair jitters, she also offers oral and IV sedatives that make procedures feel like a nap in a giant mug of chamomile tea.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Clay Morgan had 21 points and 14 rebounds and Ponder rallied from 14 down in the third quarter for 66-56 victory over Tatum to win the Class 2A state championship Saturday.

(AP) Police say a dimwitted scheme to steal light poles from a village storage yard has resulted in two arrests on Long Island. Nassau County Police Lt. Ray Cote said Wednesday that neighbors noticed two men carving up the aluminum poles with a cordless power tool and stashing them in a van under the cover of darkness. He says plainclothes officers arrived and caught the thieves in the act.
Cote says the government pays about $1,000 for a light pole _ and thieves can get about $150 apiece by selling them for scrap metal. He says there are growing efforts to crack down on such metal thefts.
Police say John Baumann and Stephen Freitas _ both Mineola residents _ are charged with fourth-degree grand larceny.
The names of their attorneys could not immediately be determined.
