Lindsay Lohan Parties a Little Too Hard for the Chateau Marmont
August 29, 2012
By: Oksana Balytsky
After a 47 day stay in the Chateau Marmont in California, Lindsay Lohan racked up a $46,350.04 hotel bill that went unpaid. The hotel made several attempts to resolve this matter, but their efforts were unsuccessful, resulting in a stern letter addressed to Lindsay from the hotel's General Manager and a banning from the entire property until her outstanding debt is paid. Lindsay was asked to remove her belongings by 12:00PM on August 1st, 2012. So what, you may ask, does a movie star buy to drop nearly $50,000 on a month and a half stay in a luxurious hotel? Why cigarettes and alcohol, of course! During her stay, minibar charges equaled $3,145.07, and her cigarette's bill was $686 at a whopping $14 a pack. We certainly hope the Chateau Marmont receives its outstanding payment, but we're doubtful that they'll be quick to forget and allow Miss Lohan to stay again.

By: Oksana Balytsky
The Hotel Ritz Paris has closed its doors for an extensive 2 year renovation period on August 1st, 2012.

Below is a letter from the general manager sent out to guests:
The legendary Ritz Paris has closed its doors to embark on a two-year restoration program. Rooms, suites, restaurants and bars, the spa and the famous Ritz Escoffier cooking school will all be carefully restored and recreated under the direction of the internationally renowned interior designer Thierry W.

A Sneak Peak into the James Royal Palm in Miami Beach
July 31, 2012
By: Oksana Balytsky
Featured as one of Forbes Magazine's "top 10 most anticipated openings of 2012," the James Royal Palm is certainly making a splash in the Miami Beach hotel arena. This luxurious beachfront property is situated in the heart of South Beach, Florida and is immersed in a new and vibrant scene. Aside from a new and swanky luxury hotel popping up in South Beach, we're especially exited for the hotel's pools (yes, that's plural), its beautiful interior design, and its full service spa with salt-infused treatments. The interior of the James Royal Palm was created by Rottet Studio, and here's what Lauren Rottet had to say about her inspiration in Boutique Design magazine: "After eating in some Cuban cafes and talking with local artists, I started thinking about Jean-Michel Basquiat (the late graffiti/neo-expressionist artist) meeting Virginia Woolf at the James and staying up long into the night talking about art and poetry." Not quite what we would imagine to be the driver of inspiration, but we certainly love the outcome and encourage you to make your reservations come this October to be among the first to experience the James Royal Palm!

Hotels with a History: The Driskill Hotel
July 25, 2012
By: Oksana Balytsky
Certain hotels have a story behind them, a culture that seeps through the walls and a personality that emanates from every room. Every city has an appreciated and valued history worth exploring, and certain hotels have become a part of that rich and interesting past. For this reason, we'd like to introduce you to our blog series, Hotels with a History where we'll be featuring unique hotels that have a little more to them than a comfortable bed and superb amenities.
Cattle baron Jesse Driskill built his hotel in 1886 to serve as the "Frontier Palace of the South" in the capital city of Texas. The Driskill Hotel was opened during a time when the United States longed for architecture that represented the American dream, and Jesse Driskill's strong attention to detail created an icon that served and continues to serve Texas proud, openly welcoming guests from all over the world. It has remained a landmark of Texas hospitality and is a member of the Historic Hotels of America, offering guests an elite level of luxury. This historic hotel is located in downtown Austin and provides easy access to the convention center, opera, symphony, fine dining, shopping, and the 6th street music scene. Make your reservations at this baron's luxury hotel and feel the pride and history that emanates from its walls for yourself.
Gotham City Getaways
With the much anticipated premiere of Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, we certainly want to go beyond just seeing the films. For all of the Batman aficionados who hope to experience some of the scenes first hand, we bring you the numerous faces of Gotham City.
The Dark Knight had scenes shot in Chicago, Hong Kong, and London. The opening robbery of 'Gotham National Bank' by the Joker takes place at the Old Chicago Post Office, the offices of Harvey Dent and the boardroom of Wayne Enterprises are in the IBM Building in Chicago, and the restaurant where Bruce Wayne crashes Rachel's and Harvey's date is the Criterion Restaurant in London. The theater where Harvey attempts to take Rachel to see the ballet is the Chicago Theater on 175 North State St, and the meeting with the crooked financial tycoon is held in Hong Kong's IFC2, the tallest building in the city. The views over the Chicago River from Bruce Wayne's penthouse are actually taken from the 39th floor of the 71 Hotel, which is also where the bedroom of Wayne's penthouse was filmed.
Want more? Check out the other pieces of Gotham City here!
Hoping to view all of these movie destinations in person? Make your reservations for London, Chicago, and Hong Kong here!

New Luxury Hotels Opening: A Thompson Hotel in Chicago
We at Five Star Alliance are all about the best and most luxurious hotels. We certainly keep up with the happenings in the luxury travel world and take pride in bringing our clients the latest luxury travel news. Keep up with our blog series where we'll be featuring luxury hotels opening to stay on top of the trends and make your reservations at the newest hotspots.
Chicago is quickly becoming a thriving hotspot for new hotels to pop up, and it seems like the trend will continue for the foreseeable future. The Chicago Athletic Association will be converted into a 240-room hotel in 2014, and it's certainly the perfect building for a boutique luxury hotel. The historic building used to serve as a hangout spot for affluent Chicago bachelors in the 1990s. According to the Chicago Tribune, it was a spot where "one could exercise, enjoy a fine meal in a beautiful setting, and then retire to a comfortable room for the evening, all under one roof." Sounds to us like it already has a few of the key qualities of a luxury hotel, and we can't wait to see how this repurposing develops! Hoping to visit Chicago a bit earlier? Check out the other luxury hotels in the area here!

Mushy, you don't want to say that! Oh heck, MUSHY
Avoid using the word "Mushy". I can't even write what it means in German (I'd probably get kicked off of the site).
If you're from Britain and refer to mushy peas you'll get an even stranger reaction ; )
Eifel "Chickens", Tractors and Barnyard Beasts
There really isn't much crime in the Eifel region. Your largest danger is driving on the roads. The roads here are steep and curvy. As you're cruising the backroads you're likely to (very suddenly) encounter:
1. Very large crows/buzzards, which us GI's refer to as "Eifel Chickens".
2. Some guy on a tractor the won't go over 20Kph on a 100Kph road. This is really entertaining when you consider that Germany doesn' t believe in shoulders on roads.
3. Encountering a herd of sheep, cows or goats on a blind curve at 100Kph is not uncommon. Guess who has the right of way!

How to Choose a Wedding Photographer
The key to choosing a wedding photographer is carefully reviewing portfolios and choosing a professional whose style coincides with yours.
Phone Books: The traditional method of contacting local listed photographers, followed by scheduling appointments to see their portfolios.
Search Engines: Modern method of using Google, Bing or Yahoo, etc., which offer traditional and image search options, so that you can visit individual photography sites or the respective search engine's image galleries.
Angie's List: For a small fee, consumers can search the review site, which may or may not include images, but includes feedback on listed businesses.
Yelp: Another popular review site, which sometimes includes images and feedback from previous customers.
Craig's List: A user-friendly website dedicated to providing listings from businesses in your area, that occasionally include images or links to websites.
Once you have reviewed portfolios, you can choose the photographer whose work you like best and finalize the details. You can rest assured that your photographer will truly capture the moments from your big day. And last, but not least, the memories of your wedding day will live on through the photographs.

Mature Fucker forever
dA is becoming a pornsite- I hope you're happy admins...
Lol what are you talking about? breast aren't censored the nipple is, plus breast aren't evens supposed to be censored if a mans nipple isn't being censored, let me throw in that deviant allows female breast because they obviously aren't sexist, this isn't even porn this is modeling, if a man was doing the same would you also call it porn? I bet you wouldn't now that's sexist, body shaming and slut shaming even calling it porn to see a female breast meaning you're sexualizing female bodies making them seem as if their breast should be censored because omg they're obscene, porno, etc.
I happy
And I approve this message.
sexy and hot
This picture needs a mature filter...
I second that thought.
Me too.
Especially as it's showing up on some of the top pages.
How come you can't report a picture for mature content any more? They used to have a button on the side but it's no longer there.
I know, I looked all over for it. Must have been abused too often.
it's below the statistics on the right side. sadly, when i tried to report this for needing a mature content tag, it said it was a closed case. apparently this is not considered of a needed mature tag. it's showing up more on the top pages...minors visit this page...
thats kind of funny... this doesn't need a mature tag? dA is going down the drain...
Wow gorgeous

With tournaments and the postseason on the horizon, Doherty's seventh-ranked girls' basketball team appears to be firing on all cylinders.
The Highlanders excelled at both ends of the court during Thursday's Inter-High matchup with South, and got 18 points and 13 rebounds from junior center Jayna Cormier in a 70-49 victory at the Colonels' gym.
"This clinched the Inter-High for us, so it was a good win," Doherty coach Jim Reynolds said. "We're playing well and finding ways to win. I'm really pleased with the overall team chemistry."
The outcome offset another brilliant effort by South's Katherine Edmonds, who tossed in a game-high 31 points. Edmonds, who scored 46 points in a win over Burncoat earlier this week, was particularly deadly from long range, draining five 3-pointers.
Edmonds, a junior forward, averages about 26 points per game, tops amongst Central Mass. females.
"We know Edmonds is their leading scorer and that she can light it up, but we tried to make her work for her points," Reynolds said. "We wanted to make it difficult for her, but she's unstoppable."
Doherty was hot from the perimeter all game, hitting nine 3-pointers. Senior guard Tia Conteh sank four treys and totaled 14 points. Junior guard Lina Graham hit one 3-pointer and scored 14 points. Senior guard Annalie Walsh-Costello added nine points, all on 3-pointers.
Despite its long-range prowess, the Highlanders' offense was centered around Cormier, who passed crisply, handled the ball like a guard and was strong off the glass and defensively. Cormier finished with eight assists and four blocks and was at her best in the first half, helping Doherty build a 33-18 lead at the break.
Cormier assisted on a layup by senior Emily Capstick to kick off an 11-2 spurt in the first quarter, a burst that put the Highlanders in control. Cormier also assisted on a second hoop in the run, blocked two shots and hit two free throws. A bucket by Capstick gave the visitors a 16-5 lead after the first quarter.
Doherty (11-1, 4-0) continued to click in the second quarter, with Cormier taking center stage during a 7-0 run to start the frame. She had a hand in six of the points, draining a jumper and a free throw, and assisting on a trey by Conteh.

As thousands poured through the gates of the Gamble Rogers Folk Festival this weekend, they were met with sounds of mandolins, fiddles, stand up bases and more.
But along with the music, festival goers were met with hundreds of people sporting light green T-shirts.
If you were lost, the light green T-shirt mob would point you in the right direction; if you were hungry, they would give you a burger or perhaps some ice cream; if you wanted to meet some of the performers, the light green T-shirt wearing people could make that happen.
So who are these people? They are the hundreds of festival volunteers who take care of everything from emptying garbage cans to directing performers to the correct stages.
Dan Downs, director of the festival said the event gets more complicated every year and the volunteers are a big help when it comes to getting everything together.
Downs said alone he personally volunteered 800 to 1,000 hours of his time to get the event together.
A generous portion of the volunteers were teachers, students or parents from Gamble Rogers Middle School.
"But we had a lot from the community and people from other areas," Downs said. "We had a very dedicated group from the Crescent City Rotary Club."
Cheryl Rynn spent about three hours Saturday at the main entrance of the festival directing performers on where to go.
"I'm a huge fan of folk music and I wanted to be a part of it," she said. "I think everybody counts on the volunteers."
"The people who do volunteer, just do it for the love of doing it," Downs said.
The Gamble Rogers Folk Festival continues today from noon to 5 p.m. Tickets are $10.

A NATION CHALLENGED: KUNDUZ; Alliance Says It Found School Run By a Titan of Terrorism
By C. J. CHIVERS
Published: December 1, 2001
KUNDUZ, Afghanistan, Nov. 30— The Northern Alliance unit responsible for security in this former Taliban stronghold has found a small compound that it says was used as a headquarters for Central Asia's largest terrorist group and its near mythic leader, Juma Namangani.
Mr. Namangani, an exile from Uzbekistan who is thought to have been killed near here, was a co-founder of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which helped destabilize three nations and whose guerrilla successes won him the attention and support of Osama bin Laden. Last month President Bush put the movement on a list of terrorist organizations whose assets would be frozen.
The authorities here said today that Mr. Namangani's home in Kunduz, a blue-walled compound a few blocks from the city's center, served as an academy for preparing soldiers and terrorists to export the international Islamic jihad. It emphasized incursions into Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, where terrorists have vowed to establish fundamentalist rule, and into Chechnya, where Muslims battled Russian troops in the 1990's and have carried out sporadic terrorist acts since.
''They took this house to teach fighting and terrorist information, and after students left here they went to fight in the jihad,'' said Gen. Muhammad Haroon, the commander in charge of security in Kunduz. ''Namangani was a brave fighter, and this was the place of his teaching.''
The academy was abandoned on Monday without fighting as the Northern Alliance swept through the city. The documents and material left inside appear to confirm much of what Uzbekistan and other Central Asian states have said about Mr. Namangani and his ambition of fomenting religious war in the former Soviet republics.
Two rooms in the main house were packed with reams of recruiting pamphlets and sacks of the Koran printed in six languages, with an emphasis on the languages of the polyglot former Soviet states. Another room contained handwritten soldiers' manuals with instructions for shooting weapons and making hidden bombs.
The pamphlets and books were printed in Russian, Persian, Uzbek, Urdu, Arabic and Pasho. A few of the notebooks contained phrases in English.
If these documents are a guide, a large part of the curriculum of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan covered basic infantry techniques, which is not surprising, given Mr. Namangani's background as a Soviet paratrooper during the Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980's, and later as an organizer of Islamic militias during Tajikistan's civil war, from 1992 to 1997.
These lessons included operating small-arms and antitank weapons, map reading, concealing minefields and rigging booby traps with trip-wires and grenades. One student's notebook detailed a lesson in firing Stinger and other antiaircraft missiles.
But a few documents showed that instruction ventured beyond soldiering to the handiwork of assassins and terrorists.
One pile of documents included photocopies from a step-by-step weapons manual that explain, with helpful photographs, how to make a silencer for a submachine gun or .22-caliber pistol. Pages in a notebook left by a student include diagrams on assembling briefcase and car bombs, or building a device to detonate with a timer made from a clock.
''Namangani was part of Al Qaeda,'' said Gen. Abdul Sabur, deputy commander of the city's security force. ''He was a very dangerous terrorist.''
Mr. Namangani, 32, spent the past year as Uzbekistan's most-wanted man. With the organization's other founder, Takhir Yuldash, he was sentenced to death last November, in absentia, on charges that he coordinated bombings in Tashkent in February 1999 that killed 16 people and nearly assassinated the Uzbek president, Islam Karimov.
His followers, variously estimated by Western analysts as ranging from several hundred to a few thousand, have been blamed for kidnappings of Japanese geologists and America tourists, for waging guerrilla warfare in Central Asia and with forming some of the most ruthless foreign Taliban units in Afghanistan.
Uzbek and American officials have said that as Mr. Namangani became a more successful terrorist and military commander, he was rewarded with money from Mr. bin Laden, whom three Northern Alliance generals said had visited the compound here on several occasions and helped underwrite Mr. Namangani's organization.
Even though the compound was looted by civilians before the Northern Alliance secured it on Wednesday night, there was ample indication that Mr. Namangani's camp was well financed. The floor of the mosque was littered with vials of procaine and penicillin from the Netherlands and India, as well as gauze bandages from New Jersey and the labels from American fleece jackets and portable water filters; no such items are in evidence at other abandoned Taliban barracks in Kunduz.
The soldiers on guard also said they had found Russian sniper rifles and paratrooper submachine guns, and small arms from the former Soviet inventory. One corner of the compound contained sacks of Russian air-to-surface rockets, which would ordinarily be fired from helicopters but which Mr. Namangani had mounted on trucks and cars.
Even though he has apparently been killed, Mr. Namangani remains the stuff of legend.

Continued liaison between the Strath Taieri Community Board
and the Otago Regional Council is planned as they seek to
find solutions to erosion of the Taieri River's banks.
Representatives of the board met council chief executive
Peter Bodeker, engineering, hazards and science director
Gavin Palmer and engineering manager Ramon Strong recently
and visited sites of concern along the river.
Board member Barry Williams said the meeting was pretty
positive and the council was going to come back to them with
further information, especially on the proposal for a
community project to remove gravel from the river.
''We hope it'll be a win-win situation.''
Dr Palmer said the main topic of conversation was the methods
available to farmers to control river bank erosion and what
could be done without a resource consent.
''There are some things landholders can do which are a
permitted activity.''
Gravel extraction was one tool farmers could use but there
were also other tools such as planting willow trees, he said.
''It came back to what degree gravel extraction can be
The aim was to provide information to landholders so they
would make the ''right decisions for the right reasons'', Dr
Palmer said.

I've tried compatibility mode and the troubleshooter and got it to install but running it (and just before "NetMeeting has been installed successfully."), it returns this error:
conf.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ASN1PERDecZeroTableCharStringNoAlloc could not be located in the dynamic link library MSASN1.dll.
I noticed that in Windows XP MSASN1.dll is located in %SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache so I thought if I copy MSASN1.dll from Windows XP to it's equivalent folder in Windows 7 it might work, does anyone know he equivalent folder? Then again I tried removing MSASN1.dll from it's folder in Windows XP and NetMeeting still ran so maybe not but it's worth a try.
Edit: The reason I don't want to use a virtual machine is because I wan't to use remote desktop sharing to connect from Windows 2000 to Windows 7 and vice versa, if I used a VM I would only be able to connect to the guest Os within Windows 7 rather than Windows 7 its self, and, virtual machines take to long to stat especiually just to run one program.

President Barack Obama makes a statement to reporters in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington on Thursday after a meeting regarding the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. From left are, House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., the president, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
WASHINGTON (AP) - One of the most powerful women in the U.S. labor movement is leaving her post as head of the 5.5-million member Change to Win federation.
Anna Burger is also retiring as secretary-treasurer of the 2.2-million member Service Employees International Union.
Burger's decision comes three months after she lost a race to succeed Andy Stern as president of the politically influential SEIU.
In 2005, Burger and Stern led the SEIU and six other unions to break away from the AFL-CIO - the nation's largest labor federation - to form the rival Change to Win federation.
Burger says she will remain on President Barack Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board and support a variety of other organizations. She also plans to do consulting work for the SEIU.

I got connecting flights with lay over time of 20 hrs, will my luggage get shifted else should i carry the luggage between connecting flights ?
If both flights are on the same ticket, with the same airline, then you don't need to worry about it. The airline will check your bags through to your final destination, and you won't need to carry them yourself.
You can confirm this at check-in when you start your trip, but all should be fine.

Re: trying to get bad credit under control and turn it into good credit...h

Paying on collections will not raise your score at all. But paying them will keep from further negative from possibly showing up (lawsuit, CA sold to another CA ect)
You need to find out who owns the debt. CA or are they just collecting for OC? Deal with OC if possible. Find the DOFD and the SOL in your state, pays those still in SOL first.. Any collection you pay always try to PFD and if they agree get it in writing. I would also research on these boards the CA's and see how others have dealt with the. Sometimes you can get the golden contact info and get the item deleted.
For husbands medical debt research "HIPPA" letters/process
Paying down your current CC balances will give score increases, paying CA's won't and I don't think paying down the loans will either( but not %100 sure on how those are scored).
While paying the CA won't help your score, it will keep them from possible hurting you later during the Mortgage process, and many lenders will require them to be paid before closing on a mortgage. Personally I would tackle the CA's first, make on time min amounts payments on the open accounts. Again PFD as much as you can.
I would suggest "opting out" with the CRA's until you purchase a home. Also make sure you are looking at Fico scores and not Fako's

I have some cutting edge (and bleeding edge) customers. They don't necessarily enjoy playing the unsynchronized-product-release-cycle dance. When we release a product, we make it work with what is shipping at the time. So, for example,when TFS shipped, WSS 2.0 was the standard. Now that WSS 3.0 has been released, you'll need to wait until the next release of TFS in order to have out-of-the-box integration. (In theory, at least. I'm not in a position to promise upcoming product features.)
If you want to live on the edge, however, we've published guidance on how to integrate TFS 2005 with WSS 3.0. If you want to give it a try, hop on over to Brian's blog.

Jason Birdno is currently behind bars at the Monroe County Jail.
He is being held on $75,000 cash-only bond (reduced from $150,000) after being arrested May 17 and charged with five counts of first-degree statutory sodomy.
According to court documents, the female victim who is now 13-years-old, "was forced" by Birdno, age 36. Charges date back to Christmas Eve 2006 and as recent as May 1, 2011.
The probable cause statement in the case indicates Birdno began living at the residence with the alleged victim Christmas Eve 2006 and an investigation revealed utilities to the residence — where several sexual incidents took place in both bathrooms, a bedroom, the garage and a dog pen — at 822 Second St. in Monroe City, were turned on in Birdno's name, December 2006.
A search warrant was issued a month and a half ago, May 16, and items recovered were described by the victim during a forensic interview; including items that appeared to have bodily fluids.
Court documents reveal four of the five counts of first-degree statutory sodomy is punishable by imprisonment in the custody of the Missouri Department of Corrections for life or for a term of not less than five years. The fourth count has a punishment of life in prison or a term of no more than 10 years.
Birdno's case has been moved to Audrain County court in Mexico, Mo. He is scheduled for a hearing before Judge Linda Hamlett at 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 11.

2 photojournalism graduates take top honors in Hearst multimedia contest
|Date: Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
Two WKU photojournalism graduates finished first and second in the first multimedia competition of the 53rd annual Hearst Journalism Awards Program.
Zack Conkle of Louisville received a $2,600 award for winning the Narrative Multimedia Storytelling – Features category with his piece titled "Wright's Law." Leslye Davis of Greensburg finished second and received a $2,000 award. WKU's School of Journalism & Broadcasting will receive matching awards.
Conkle and Davis graduated in May 2012 and are not eligible to participate in the Hearst championship.
WKU is in first place after the first of four contests in the Intercollegiate Multimedia Competition followed by Syracuse University; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (tie); University of Missouri (tie); University of Nebraska-Lincoln; Kent State University; Southern Illinois University, Carbondale (tie); University of Montana (tie); Iowa State University; and San Francisco State University. The final intercollegiate winners are announced in April.
Often called the "Pulitzers of College Journalism," the William Randolph Hearst Foundation's Journalism Awards Program is conducted under the auspices of accredited schools of the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication. The program, in which 106 undergraduate journalism programs across the nation are eligible to participate, consists of five monthly writing competitions, two photojournalism competitions, three broadcast news competitions and four multimedia competitions and awards up to $500,000 in scholarships and grants annually.
In 2011-12, WKU's School of Journalism & Broadcasting won the Intercollegiate Multimedia Competition, won the Intercollegiate Photojournalism Competition for the fourth consecutive year and 20th time in 23 years and finished fourth in the Overall Intercollegiate Competition. WKU has finished among the top eight nationally in the Hearst overall rankings for 19 consecutive years and won the national title in 2005, 2001 and 2000.

Theater The Unluckiest Show in Seattle
posted by May 20 at 10:42 AMon
Pity the poor Nebunele Theater companynot only does it have a name nobody can ever remember how to say, Nebu-whatever-you-call-it is currently running Medea Knows Best, the unluckiest show in Seattle.
But maybe that's what you get for adapting Medea as a musical comedy.
A litany of the company's woes, beginning with the first productiona workshop of their Greek-murder-musical-comedylast winter:
Freehold botched the theater rental1, making them cut the run short.
The production designer stopped returning phone calls and vanished. He later explained he was having a midlife crisis. (He eventually returned.)
The live musician/composer quit because he, according to co-author and actor Alissa Mortenson (she's the blonde above), "didn't like some people in the show."
"Then I got dumped by a boy I was in love with," Mortenson said. "And the same thing happened to two other people in the show."
For the second Seattle production this month, Velocity botched the theater rental2 forcing Medea to relocate to CHAC. (That was after all the press releases with the original dates and times had already been sent.)
The noise at CHAC: "Who knew that so many of CHAC's events involve loud, live-dj thumpy-thumpy?," Mortenson asked. (Hate to break it to you, Alissa, but that's not exactly a secret. Still.) "Ever asked a master mixer to turn the music down just a tiny bit because there's a quiet little play happening in the non-soundproofed room next door? Then you have seen the scornful face of death."
Other problems with CHAC's upstairs theater (which is run by a dance company called Walrus): its dimensions were smaller than reported, so the set wouldn't fit; it lacked some of the equipment (curtains, etc.) that Mortenson thought it'd have.
Another designer, another midlife crisis.
The critics haven't been kind. (Joe Adcock, at his most Adcockian: "The play often is labored and never subtle. But it is amusing at times." Now there's a man who loves his copulas.)
The actor playing Creon (Mortenson describes him as "older, somewhat infirm, and eccentric") said that performing during the recent heat wave nearly killed him. "I don't want to die in that theater," Mortenson said he said. So he quit. The company found found a last-minute replacement, who …
… promptly broke up with his girlfriend.
"They're all more or less disasters averted," Mortenson said gamely. "The show is still going on. But the next thing I want to do is one-woman show."
1 Or maybe Nebulene botched. Anyway, botching happened.
2 Because Velocity lost its theaters when Ted Scroth bought Oddfellows and, in the confusion, neglected to tell Mortenson.

Intersubband electron scattering transport in terahertz GaAs-AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers is analyzed, using a full 13-level self-consistent rate equation model. The approach includes all relevant scattering mechanisms between injector-collector and active region states in the cascade structures. Employing an energy balance equation which includes the influence of both electron longitudinal optical phonon and electron-electron scattering, the method also enables evaluation of the average electron temperature of the nonequilibrium carrier distributions in the device. The electron temperature is found to give a strong influence on the output characteristics, particularly at very low temperatures. The threshold currents and electric field-current density characteristics are in very good agreement with experiment, implying that the model has a strong predictive capability.

I have always had a love for anything crafty!
I learned to crochet as a teenager, but had only made afghans. Then in 2006 I wanted to crochet my daughter the Lilliana shrug. Suddenly I understood how to read those crochet patterns and finished that shrug in less than a week! After that, I crocheted more and more clothing projects.
I learned to loom knit in 2004 as I loved the look of knitting but did not know how to needle knit. I searched the web and found lots of helpful advice on looming and then started purchasing every loom and board I could. Soon after I started designing my character scarves. I have loomed socks, scarves, hats and purses and was just starting to learn to knit garments on the looms when I finally learned to needle knit!
That was in 2007 and I taught myself to knit watching the videos on www.knitting-help.com and have been having loads of fun knitting every thing in site and increasing my knowledge and skills.
The saying you are never too old to learn something new is so true. If you put your mind to it, you can learn anything and have loads of fun doing it.
I hope you enjoy my crochet, looming and needle knit designs as much as I did when designing them!
This listing is for the Knitting Loom PATTERN only and Not the finished item.
Just in time for Easter!
This purse is made using the Knifty Knitter brand of looms. You will need basic looming knowledge and skills to make this purse and it is a very simple pattern. There are lot's of photo's to help you along.
The bottom of the purse is flat and the process is explained in detail.
You will enjoy making this purse for your daughter, grand-daughter, niece or other special little girl.
Included is a video link showing how to make i-cord using pegs of any rake or loom.

In this work, we present a nonrigid approach to jointly solving the tasks of 2D-3D pose estimation and 2D image segmentation. In general, most frameworks that couple both pose estimation and segmentation assume that one has exact knowledge of the 3D object. However, under nonideal conditions, this assumption may be violated if only a general class to which a given shape belongs is given (e.g., cars, boats, or planes). Thus, we propose to solve the 2D-3D pose estimation and 2D image segmentation via nonlinear manifold learning of 3D embedded shapes for a general class of objects or deformations for which one may not be able to associate a skeleton model. Thus, the novelty of our method is threefold: First, we present and derive a gradient flow for the task of nonrigid pose estimation and segmentation. Second, due to the possible nonlinear structures of one's training set, we evolve the preimage obtained through kernel PCA for the task of shape analysis. Third, we show that the derivation for shape weights is general. This allows us to use various kernels, as well as other statistical learning methodologies, with only minimal changes needing to be made to the overall shape evolution scheme. In contrast with other techniques, we approach the nonrigid problem, which is an infinite-dimensional task, with a finite-dimensional optimization scheme. More importantly, we do not explicitly need to know the interaction between various shapes such as that needed for skeleton models as this is done implicitly through shape learning. We provide experimental results on several challenging pose estimation and segmentation scenarios.

Two People Wanted For Murder In Alabama Arrested In St. Cloud
Two people from Alabama have been arrested in St. Cloud for murder charges.
According to the police report, the suspect, 39-year-old Laron Lamont Lukes had an arrest warrant out for an incident that occurred in Hunstville, Alabama. Lukes is accused of being the shooter in a drive by type shooting, where he fired several shots at a victim on November 12th, 2012.
The driver of that vehicle was identified as 27-year-old Eleana Marie Ghant and the two were believed to have fled to Ghant's mother's apartment in St. Cloud. Ghant also had outstanding warrants for driving offenses in Benton County and an outstanding warrant for 1st degree criminal damage to property in Stearns County. The U.S. Marshals along with the Violent Offenders Task Force conducted surveillance on the apartment over the course of several days.
On Wednesday, January 23rd, a search warrant was drafted and executed at the apartment using the St. Cloud Police Department Tactical Response Team. Both Ghant and Lukes were taken into custody without incident and are being held at the Stearns County Jail for their warrants.
The Central Minnesota Violent Offenders Task Force is comprised of officers from Sartell, Little Falls and St. Cloud Police Departments along with deputies from Stearns, Benton, Todd, Morrison and Sherburne counties.

Suspended Temple coach John Chaney met with the family of injured Saint Joseph's forward John Bryant on Sunday on the Hawks' campus and apologized for ordering hard fouls that resulted in Bryant breaking his arm last week.
According to multiple sources, the meeting was "very tough" for Bryant's family, which, like Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli, is angered by Chaney's actions. The Hall of Fame coach spoke to Bryant on the phone Friday before Saint Joseph's left for its game Saturday at Rhode Island and offered to pay Bryant's medical bills; student-athletes' medical bills are covered by their universities.
The fallout from the incident appears far from over and the rift between Temple and Saint Joseph's might be widening.
Bryant, a senior, will not play for the Hawks again. Nehemiah Ingram, the Temple senior forward who was sent into Tuesday's game at Temple to be Chaney's "goon," fouled out in four minutes. Ingram was not suspended for his actions after the Atlantic 10 determined he was simply following his coach's orders. Ingram played six minutes against Massachusetts on Saturday.
Chaney suspended himself for one game, but Temple added two more games to the suspension Friday once Bryant's MRI results were known. Chaney is scheduled to return to the bench for the Atlantic 10 tournament next week after the Owls finish their regular season. Assistant Dan Leibovitz, who coached the Owls to a victory over UMass, also will coach Temple at Rhode Island on Wednesday and against La Salle on Saturday.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Bryants and Saint Joseph's administrators would convene by phone Monday to discuss a possible next step. Saint Joseph's has discouraged anyone from the university from talking about the incident outside of issuing a statement twice saying that a line had been crossed. Saint Joseph's took issue with Chaney accusing the Hawks of setting illegal screens.
A number of attorneys have emailed and called Saint Joseph's and the Bryant family asking if they want to file a lawsuit, either a conspiracy to commit assault and/or possible civil action. But Saint Joseph's and the Bryant family haven't made up their mind as to whether to proceed with any legal action.
Sources said Saint Joseph's wants the A-10 to take additional action to avoid a potentially troubling situation in the conference tournament.
The Hawks do not want to play the Owls with Chaney on the bench and Ingram in the lineup. The bracket for the A-10 tournament will be known this weekend. Saint Joseph's clinched the top spot in the A-10 East, while Temple is the second seed. The only way the two would meet would be in the final in Cincinnati on March 12. But sources said Saint Joseph's wants the conference to decide on whether Chaney, and/or Ingram, would be allowed to coach and play against the Hawks before the teams get to Cincinnati for the tournament.
In addition to the possibility of facing Temple in the A-10 tournament, Saint Joseph's is also annoyed that Chaney and Ingram would be at the pre-conference tournament banquet and the awkwardness that would likely ensue.
Leibovitz replaced Chaney on the A-10 conference call Monday and said that Chaney has been at practice every day since his suspension was announced last week.
He said the practices were normal with the beginning about fundamentals and then Chaney lecturing in the latter half of the practice so that it was "business as usual." Leibovitz said Chaney wouldn't be making the trip to Rhode Island on Tuesday for Wednesday's game.
"But we'll be in constant communication with coach," Leibovitz said. "It's a weird, sad feeling but we'll make the best of a tough spot."
Leibovitz said Chaney is "hurting inside. I can't tell you how many times he said he did the wrong thing. He's a basketball coach through and through and this really hurt. We all feel bad about what happened and that John Bryant is injured. There is an honor among athletes and no one wants them to be injured."
When it was Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli's turn to talk on the A-10 conference call, Martelli quipped that "in light of what went on last week, I respectfully decline to participate on the conference call. I apologize."
Saint Joseph's is expected to make a formal statement sometime this week prior to the A-10 tournament next week in Cincinnati.
Meanwhile, Memphis coach John Calipari threw himself into the fray Saturday on College GameDay.
Calipari said because Chaney was suspended by Temple for a game for going after him in 1994 -- Chaney threatened then-UMass coach Calipari during a postgame news conference -- then the punishments should be of equal length. Calipari said because the incident was with "fair-haired Phil in Philly and it was Saint Joe's and they're losing, he's out. That's my problem with it, I think it's hypocritical.
"We know what John Chaney is. He coaches the right way, he does things the right way, he gets his kids into the pros, and he's a little bit crazy. He's been crazy."
Leibovitz said on ESPN Radio's College Hoops Today on Sunday he had not heard any talk of Chaney being forced to resign or facing dismissal.

A lot of people want the Kinks to get back together, but few do as much as Geoff Edgers.
The Boston Globe reporter even made a cool documentary movie about his personal quest to get the British Invasion rock band to reunite.
Still, he's not about to get his hopes up every time a new reunion rumor surfaces. Such talk has been popping up for years at regular intervals, and nothing ever comes of it.
The speculation is heating up again.
Just last month, Kinks frontman Ray Davies said he and his brother, Dave, have talked about a 2014 reunion. Dave, lead guitarist for the band, told British newspaper The Guardian that the odds are 50/50. But in the same interview he also trashed Ray, calling him "miserable" and "troubled."
The Davies brothers have been famously mad at each other for years, and usually can't stand to be in the same room together, so the fact that they are talking at all moved the needle on the reunion-O-meter.
Whether it happens or not remains to be seen.
But the rumors at least make it an appropriate time to check out Edgers' 2010 film "Do It Again."
The film about his earnest and Quixotic quest will be screened at 7 p.m. Nov. 15 and 16 at the Oakland Center for the Arts, 220 W. Boardman St., downtown Youngstown. Admission is $10.
The film is the first step in the Oakland's effort to bring movies back to downtown, filling a gaping hole in the burgeoning entertainment district's offerings.
There hasn't been a movie theater downtown in decades, and there hasn't been an indie-film theater in the area since Austintown Cinema closed in 2005.
"Do It Again" is an excellent choice to get things started.
Chris Rutushin is the Oakland board member who is spearheading the effort. "Do It Again," he said, will launch a series of independent films at the venue, which is already known for its edgy live theater.
"We're super excited to finally have a place to do so because Youngstown doesn't have an independent theater, or any theater for that matter, in downtown," said Rutushin, who is a filmmaker himself. "The Oakland is picking up where the former Flick Clique [movie club] left off and taking cues from the Cedar Lee theater in Cleveland."
Rutushin said more films are on the radar for the series, but he can't talk about them until the deals are finalized.
"Do It Again" is a fan's-eye flick that follows Edgers on his lighthearted mission all the way to London. It includes interviews with the likes of Sting and Zooey Deschanel, who both genuinely embrace the whimsical spirit of the film.
Edgers even gets Sting to sing a Kinks song.
The filmmaker explains his obsession in a film trailer in which he bemoans how plenty of lesser classic-rock bands have reunited — he contemptfully cites Styx and the Eagles — while his beloved Kinks never do.
Edgers stars in the film and also produced it, while Robert Patton-Spruill directed.
In a phone call from his Boston home, he was clearly not getting his hopes up regarding a Kinks comeback. The band's last show was in 1996, and the reunion rumors have surfaced every few years since then. Fans have been burned many times.
Edgers' attitude now seems to be I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it.
"I refuse to play this game," he said. "Why is today any more likely than in 1998, or 2003, or 2005 or 2010?"
Edgers was initially moved to make the film as a way of burnishing the Kinks' legacy. The scope and direction of the film expanded as he proceeded.
"I love the Kinks," he said, "but they were underappreciated and they needed someone to do a proper movie. They are so complicated that it's hard to do a simple project."
The band's second-tier status still irritates Edgers.
"The Kinks should be recognized with the greats," he said, "yet the last Ray Davies album was given away with a newspaper — and it was better than Paul McCartney's record."
Edger's film has been shown in more than 50 film festivals worldwide, and an hourlong version of it has aired on PBS. "It took on a life of its own," he said.
Edgers has moved on to other projects. He hosted the short-lived Travel Channel series "Edge of America" earlier this year, and also has written three children's books.
Still, he keeps getting inquiries about the movie. "People ask me about it all the time," he said. "Every now and then I'll get a note from Italy or Argentina or another country about how they can see it."
Yea, these guys, the Davies, were the Gallagher brothers long before Noel and Liam
so much music has been made within family but with heavy tension..Beach Boys and Jackson 5, a lot with father vs. sons there but also between brothers, the Everly Brothers have never really stopped fighting I believe..the Fogerty brothers with CCR caught in the middle of John's bitter feud with the record company....Karen Carpenter always had trouble with parents favoring her brother...I know even Donny Osmond (I know I know) complained about having to be the dumb guy for Marie
then you have couples... husbands and wives or girlfriend/boyfriend situations that produce good music but with destruction around..Carly Simon/James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, ABBA
or best friends tearing each other apart despite good music, Simon & Garfunkel
what can you do?...I like The Kinks and it would be cool to see them but it smells like a Van Halen situation...reunions but falling apart all the time...even though the brothers there get along...of course VH famously covered You Really Got Me
free music and life lesson for the day
Good luck to Mr. Edgers

Tears of the Desert: A Memoir of Survival in Darfur (MP3 CD)
Special Order
Born into the Zaghawa tribe in the Sudanese desert, Halima was doted on by her father, a cattle herder, and kept in line by her formidable grandmother. A politically astute man, Halima's father saw to it that his daughter received a good education away from their rural surroundings. Halima excelled in her studies and exams, surpassing even the privileged Arab girls who looked down their noses at the black Africans. With her love of learning and her father's support, Halima went on to study medicine, and at twenty-four she became her village's first formal doctor. Yet not even the symbol of good luck that dotted her eye could protect her from the encroaching conflict that would consume her land. Janjaweed Arab militias started savagely assaulting the Zaghawa, often with the backing of the Sudanese military. Then, in early 2004, the Janjaweed attacked Bashir's village and surrounding areas, raping forty-two schoolgirls and their teachers. Bashir, who treated the traumatized victims, some as young as eight years old, could no longer remain quiet. But breaking her silence ignited a horrifying turn of events. In this harrowing and heartbreaking account, Halima Bashir sheds light on the hundreds of thousands of innocent lives being eradicated in what has surely become the most terrifying genocide of the twenty-first century. Raw and riveting, Tears of the Desert is more than just a memoir it is Halima Bashir's global call to action.
About the Author
Halima Bashir was born into the remote western deserts of Sudan in the region of South Darfur, to the fiercely independent Zaghawa tribe. She went on to study medicine, and at age twenty-four she returned to her tribe and began practicing as their first ever qualified doctor, until Janjaweed Arab militias began savagely assaulting the Zaghawa, invariably with the backing of the Sudan army and air force. She now lives in England with her husband and young son where she continues to speak out about the violence in the Sudan.

On Speculation That Adam Lambert and Sonia Sotomayor Are Gay
Why do the two topics of conversation, though similar in many ways, make us react so differently?
This morning there were two columns musing on the sexuality of Americans in the spotlight that got us thinking. First, Richard Lawson's treatise on why American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert's coyness over his homosexuality is hurting gay America pleased us. Then Michael Wolff's essay questioning the heterosexuality of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor made us angry. And we wondered why we had such opposite reactions — after all, the revelation of gayness on either part could possibly hinder their further careers, even as it boosted the gay community with two new, incredibly popular and timely public figures. So what gives?
What evidence do Lawson and Wolff have that they may be gay at all?
Lambert: He's been photographed French kissing a boy, appears willfully flamboyant in his performances, and refuses to comment on his sexuality.
Sotomayor: Is unmarried and childless, but is currently dating a man. Wolff fully admits he has "no idea what Sonia Sotomayor's sexual tastes might be."
If they are, would outing either one help Gay America?
Lambert: Yes. A young, super-popular nationwide icon who is famous, talented, and happens to be gay (which many people, if not most, already accept as the truth) would do untold benefit for kids in high schools across America terrified to come out, or even to be different.
Sotomayor: No. Being outed would compromise her ability to be an inspiration to gays and minorities. Plus, she would undoubtedly lose her seat on the Supreme Court because of right-wing hysteria over having a definite "Yes" marriage-equality vote on the bench. She'd fall out of the public eye soon after dropping out of competition (anyone know where Harriet Miers is right now? Robert Bork?).
Will a whisper campaign questioning either's sexuality hurt their careers?
Lambert: No. As we've argued before, Adam is already the Other, and the fans who love him don't care whether or not he's gay. He's proven already that his talent is enough to earn him a recording career, whether or not people like him personally. Unlike Sotomayor, he already has the job.
Sotomayor: Yes. See above.
Why are we talking about this again?
Lambert: Because of his unwillingness to confirm his sexuality either way, despite being repeatedly asked. Also, yeah, those pictures of him kissing a dude. And the rumors that he'll come out on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Sotomayor: Well, we're not, really. Michael Wolff is. Most of the rest of us are talking and reading about her abortion stance, her life and judicial history, and even whether she's racist. But not whether she's gay.
And why are Lawson and Wolff writing about this?
Lawson: Because he's adding to a conversation that his readership has been having for months now.
Wolff: Because he wants to get attention and credit for starting such a conversation.
We yearn for the day when speculating about someone's sexuality has no consequences. But the fact is, we're not there yet. In fact, we're only just figuring out in which cases it is unimportant and in which cases it is all-important. In entertainment, happily, it's increasingly unimportant. In politics, unfortunately, it's all-important. Wolff can hide behind the argument that suggesting someone is gay isn't legal slander — and he's right, it shouldn't be (though throwing out the statement "Justice Souter, everyone seems to assume, is gay" just as he is about to cease to be a public figure seems to purposefully toe the line of taste). But the fact remains that there are places where it isn't openly harmful, and some where it is. Then again, of course, Wolff knows that.
