After all the predictions, outrage and buildup, it's almost here: The 85th Academy Awards rolls out the red carpet on Sunday, and we're holding out hope it won't leave us disappointed and bored.
We have our fingers crossed that these five things will occur and turn a routine ceremony into something extra special:
1. Surprises!: The prognosticators are saying the big prizes will come down to two contenders: "Argo" and "Lincoln." How bland is that? So what if a dark horse galloped in at the last minute? Social media would go nuts. Here's hoping the film about wounded underdogs, "Silver Linings Playbook," proves to be the ultimate underdog and takes home the top prize. Not only would that be a stunning upset, it would be a satisfying one and help increase the sales of crabbie snacks worldwide.
2. A shorter show: When a winner hits the podium and takes out the spectacles to read a lengthy list, give 'em the hook after one minute. Lists are made for shopping at Trader Joe's, not awards shows. As one of our curmudgeon-like editors likes to grouse: Keep it tight and bright. Pay heed, Oscar.
3. Revisit having costars, admirers and previous award winners introduce the best actor and best actress nominees: In 2010, Academy producers tapped Michele Pfeiffer, Oprah and others to talk about a particular nominee, and what made him or her stand out. It was brilliant actually, an original idea that showed personality, depth and insight. Much better than some presenter just checking off names.
4. Allow Seth MacFarland to really cut loose: Unlike the less hoity-toity Golden Globes, the Academy Awards takes itself seriously, as it should. BUT ... too much stateliness can produce a deadly dull show. So loosen up that collar, and give "Family Guy" MacFarlane some liberty to go a little bleep crazy. You can take it on the chin, Hollywood. Oh yes, you can.
5. Sparkling Daniel Day-Lewis and Jennifer Lawrence acceptance speeches: Even though, we'd love to see Joaquin Phoenix sneak in for the win in the best actor category, there's absolutely no debate on who would give the classier speech. Day-Lewis was ever so poised, gracious and intelligent during his Golden Globes acceptance. You just know his elegant way with words will impress and send a chill up our spine. And if Lawrence wins -- as many expect -- let's hope she says something once more that's candid, spectacular and unscripted.

SANTA CRUZ -- It was a camera-caught crime of callousness -- an unconscious Silicon Valley tech executive left to die on his luxury yacht with a fatal fix of heroin coursing through his veins. Police said the prostitute who injected the drug cleared out evidence, stepped over his body and finished a glass of wine before fleeing.
The victim: Forrest Timothy Hayes, a 51-year-old who was on the Google team involved with the high-profile rollout and production of its cutting-edge Glass eyewear. A well-regarded family man with a wife of 17 years, five kids and a palatial estate near the UC Santa Cruz campus, who had what friends called an impulsive streak to snap up objects of desire.
The suspect: Alix Catherine Tichelman, a 26-year-old daughter of a Sacramento-area tech CEO with a penchant for provocative poses, heavy metal music and illegal intoxicants. Police said she was also a Web-based prostitute who boasted she had more than 200 clients and was lured to her arrest with the promise of a $1,000 payoff.
In a seamy twist to what was originally dubbed a "suspicious death," Tichelman faces manslaughter and drug and prostitution charges, as well as evidence tampering following her July 4 arrest after a seven-month investigation. Santa Cruz police said a video recorded the weekend before Thanksgiving aboard Hayes' 50-foot yacht "Escape," moored in a slip in the Santa Cruz Harbor, showed Tichelman shooting Hayes up with what turned out to be a lethal dose of heroin. They said she made no effort to help or summon aid when he began "suffering medical complications and going unconscious."
Instead, she started collecting her belongings, including the heroin and hypodermic needles, and knocked back the wine. After disembarking the "Escape," she "reaches back in to lower a blind and conceal the victim's body from outside view," police said.
"She showed no regard for him," said Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark. "She was just trying to cover her tracks."
Hayes was found dead the next morning by the ship's captain. Without elaborating, police said it may not be the first such crime committed by Tichelman, and they are looking into a similar incident in another state.
In Facebook posts and pictures on a page that disappeared around noon Wednesday, Tichelman expressed a fondness for the macabre and things considerably darker than what's imagined in the realm of tech executives. She states she won't date anyone without tattoos, or who has "a general distaste for metal."
"It's really nice to talk with someone about killing sprees and murdering people in cold blood ... and they love it too," she wrote. "No judgement(sic). Yay!"
The website contained numerous photos of a scantily clad Tichelman. She was also on "SeekingArrangement.com," which is where police say she met Hayes. The website touts itself as a place "where beautiful, successful people fuel mutually beneficial relationships," and where "sugar daddies" can meet "sugar babies."
Appearing in court wearing handcuffs, a red jumpsuit, red lipstick, and black eyeliner on Wednesday, Tichelman alternated between looking out at the audience and hanging her head. She was given a public defender but did not enter a plea, with the arraignment continued to July 16. She remains jailed in lieu of $1.5 million bail.
Meanwhile, Hayes' family was in seclusion at their hilltop home, where a woman shooed reporters and accused them of making the family revisit a painful experience.
Hayes is a native of Dearborn, Mich., who started his career in the automotive industry before moving to Santa Cruz and working for tech giants including Sun Microsystems, Apple and Google.
A January obituary the family wrote for the Santa Cruz Sentinel gave no hint of the double life he led.
"Forrest will be remembered above all as a loving husband and father," the obituary read. "More than anything else he enjoyed spending time with his family at home and on his boat. His brilliant mind, contagious smile and warm embrace will be missed and cherished."
Hayes joined Apple in 2005 and worked there for several years, according to a brief profile on LinkedIn, but he moved to Google about a year ago and joined its secretive "X" division, which is responsible for what the company likes to call "moon shot" projects including self-driving cars and the computer headset known as Glass.
Google and Apple representatives declined to discuss Hayes' tenure or responsibilities at those companies. But postings on a memorial website indicate that he helped oversee hardware manufacturing at Apple and worked with suppliers and contractors involved in the Glass project at Google. Friends created the site last fall and it was taken down this week, after police announced Tichelman's arrest.
Colleagues at Google described Hayes as a thoughtful and generous manager, but also said he was decisive and known for his "ability to get stuff done," in the words of one colleague, who added in a memorial posting: " ... the very fact that the Glass manufacturing line is now humming along is testament to that."
One of the posts on the memorial site was signed "Astro" and appears to have been written by Astro Teller, the scientist and entrepreneur who serves as director of operations at Google X, reporting to company co-founder Sergey Brin.
"The first time I met you I felt that you had a particularly bright light inside you," the post said. "You had the perfect mixture of serious and happy and I hope that over time, I can become even just a tiny bit more like you in that way."
The posting added: "You were only at X for a short while but you made a huge difference to us there. You set a new standard for effectiveness and professionalism ... I miss you painfully and I will fondly remember you always. With love, Astro."
Friends called him practical yet impatient -- a streak that resulted in impulse buys like an electric car so he could use carpool lanes after a frustrating 40-minute commute to Google; and the yacht days after a friend tantalized him by sending him a photo.
Tichelman's Facebook page said she graduated high school in Atlanta and studied journalism at Georgia State University. She described herself as an aspiring model, makeup artist, writer, exotic dancer and "hustler." Her father, Bart Tichelman, is the CEO of Folsom software firm SynapSense, and could not be reached for comment.
Police would not divulge when the two connected through the website, but said they had an "ongoing prostitution relationship." Police lured her back to Santa Cruz last week under the guise of a wealthy john seeking a tryst, and arrested her when she showed up at an undisclosed luxury hotel. Officers were spurred to act by a June 30 Facebook post suggesting she was planning to leave the state.
"I AM COMING HOME TO THE FILTHY, NASTY, DIRTY SOUTH!" Tichelman wrote four days before her arrest. "hoping to start the drive back to Atlanta at the beginning of next week. Can't wait to see everyone. Its celebration time y all!"

Stickiness is serious business. Scientists study it, throwing around words like "viscoelasticity" and examining the super-sticky feet of little lizards called geckos. So explaining the stickiness of candy is complicated.
But let's start by explaining why sugar is sticky. Sugar molecules are made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. Together, they create tiny sugar crystals, and bunches of crystals all together are what you find in your sugar bowl.
If you add water (moisture), the sugar crystals dissolve, breaking the chemical bonds between the sugar molecules. Then the sugar sticks to whatever it touches.
Would it surprise you to know that sugar is an ingredient in some glues? Probably not, if you've every held a piece of candy in your hand or put it in your pocket.
Dentists (and parents) often tell you not to eat too much sticky stuff. For someone with braces, sticky candy is a problem because it can get stuck in all those wires and brackets. Even if you don't have braces, sticky candy can stick to your teeth and lead to cavities. If you do eat candy, be sure to brush your teeth afterward.
In this experiment, you'll play around with candy to see which is the stickiest. These factors will affect the stickiness: warmth, moisture (water), and how much oil the candy contains.

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
The only child of Lord Selwyn of Tarth, Brienne was never like other women—very tall and ungaily as a girl, and with a very plain appearance marked by a broad, coarse face with many freckles, crooked teeth, and more. Her father let her train at arms, due to her size (some 6'6" feet) and strength. When Lord Renly called his supporters to him at Highgarden, Lord Selwyn sends Brienne with the Tarth contingent. A skill warrior, her armor is enamelled blue, one of the colors of Tarth which is known as the Sapphire Isle for the blue of its waters.
The actress cast in the role is older than Brienne in the novel, and certainly much more beautiful to look at—it will be interesting to see what makeup does with her appearance. She is also certainly nothing like so broad and muscular as Brienne is described.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

There's no doubt about it. Philly is a town of skaters, put on the map by the legendary Love Park, a celebrated venue for street skateboarding and host to ESPN's X Games a rare two years in a row. In 2002, the city banned skating in Love Park and redesigned popular skating features in an attempt to make the park unskateable despite an offer from DC Shoes for one million dollars, enough to cover repair for the park for the next decade.
After outrage from the local skate community, the city funded a skatepark at FDR Park, on donated land under an overpass on Interstate 95. The park was a joke. A few slabs of concrete, 2 pyramids and a grind box and local skaters were furious. Led by Jimmy Young they began sneaking into the locked park with concrete, building a massive, spawling park one support ramp and at time. Soon the volunteer efforts resulted in it's most famous features: the Bunker wall at 60 feet long, eleven feet high with a foot and a half of vert; the Dome at fourteen feet high ; the CIA Pocket; the Indian Wall; the Minefield; and the Sean Miller Memorial Vert Ramp. The city let them build in a rumored unwritten agreement to let the skaters continue to build their own FDR skate park in return for leaving Love Park. The park is a favorite of local skaters like Chuck Treese, and Bam Margera, who featured it on his CKY video series. It is also a fully playable game on Tony Hawk's video game "Proving Ground".
In 2005, FDR Skatepark was host to the Gravity Games. With it's array of ever changing Graffiti, endless speedlines, monsoons and verts, this free skatepark has been a true gem in the skate community. Designed by skaters and for skaters, it manages to have hit the mainstream by way of video sharing, and remains true to its roots and it's community of both diehard locals and pros alike.

By Guest Blogger Charmaine Ng I UNIVERSITY OF OREGON:Ambitious and talented, honest and human, this tri-lingual social media strategist and curator is also a published author. Harbors a secret desire to one day have a multi-hyphenated title.
Earlier today, 29 awesome BookRenter employees and interns participated in our caffeinated cola taste test. The challenge: can you tell the difference between Coke, Pepsi, and generic cola?
Rebecca and I laid out trays on our underused beer pong table and handed out voting sheets and pens. Some complained about the warmth (the refrigerator wasn't cold enough!) and flatness, but hey, what can you do? Others were confident that they had matched the drinks correctly, while others debated about the merits of Coke and diet.
In total, 15 people guessed all of the sodas correctly. The generic cola was the easiest to guess at 18, and the Coke and Pepsi were equally recognizable at 15 correct guesses.
And the fan favorite of the office? Coke with eight votes! Four preferred Pepsi and three generic zero-calorie cola. Many people disliked all of them.
We had lots of fun doing this taste test and can't wait to have another one next Tuesday. Prepare your taste buds for French Fries!

Gypsum Elementary fourth-graders packed the room at Tuesday's Gypsum Town Council meeting.
They wanted the town to build a water park. Please.
Gypsum Town Manager Jeff Shroll unknowingly put the idea in their heads about a month ago when he visited the class as a guest speaker.
"I was talking to them about my job and what government does," he said. "Then one of the teachers asked, 'How do people in the community affect change?' So I said, 'By way of an example, if you wanted a water park, collecting signatures for a petition and approaching town council would be a way to do that.' It was off the top of my head - they missed the 'by example' part and ran with it," Shroll said with a wide, chuckling smile.
The class collected 30 pages of signatures, though some signatures were clearly made by people signing the petition multiple times.
Three class representatives presented their argument before council. They said a water park would be an attraction that would draw visitors and boost the town's economy. Their ideas included an underwater food court and a turbine to generate hydro-electric power as water was cycled through the park.
"This is the process, this is the way to get things done - you guys are on the right track," said council member Pam Schultz. "I'm on the recreation committee and we do have a water park in our long-term plans, though it's not as grandiose as the one you propose."
Schultz asked if they had any idea were a good place for the park might be.
"Buckhorn Valley, because it's kind of brown and there's not much going on over there," one outspoken girl said.
Council members said a water park might happen five or 10 years down the road.
"Government moves slow but things get done this way," said Mayor Steve Carver.
Shroll mentioned that plans for the Gypsum Recreation Center started simple but it became something bigger.
"The plans weren't grandiose but it turned out pretty grandiose," he said.
Schultz said there might be some future town planners and engineers in the class.

(WOMENSENEWS)--Here's your roster of September films by and about women, all lined up in chronological order and ready for your viewing pleasure. I recommend almost all of these films--narrative and nonfiction--but a couple should be skipped.
Sept. 5:
"For Ellen" is one of the month's must-sees. Korean-born writer-director So Yong Kim sensitively tells the story of a single father's anguished realization that he should leave his beloved child in the custody of his ex-wife. Paul Dano beautifully portrays the rock and roller who adores his daughter, Ellen, but cannot handle the responsibility of caring for her. His struggle, and its impact on Ellen and his ex-wife, is heartbreaking.
"Girl Model" is a harrowing documentary about a young woman trying to escape hardship. In the documentary, filmmakers Ashley Sabin and David Redmon track 13-year-old Nadya Vall, who leaves her impoverished family in rural Siberia to work as a model in Tokyo, where blond, blue-eyed girls are hot properties. Model-turned-agent Ashley Arbaugh is ambivalent about her recruitment of the naive girl, who is traumatized by continual rejection as she parades before bookers who inspect her as though she were meat.
Sept. 7:
"Detropia" documents Detroit's decay, showing once prosperous Motown now on the verge of an economic and emotional breakdown. Filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady follow diverse women and men, who serve as tour guides to the blighted city's plight: abandoned factories, thousands of houses set to be razed and congregations of unemployed and homeless citizens. Beautifully shot, the verite documentary is an affecting elegy to Ewing's hometown and a provocative view of everytown America. A truly stunning must-see film.
"Hello I Must Be Going" is a charming, funny, smart rom-com about recently divorced Amy (Melanie Lynskey) who returns to her parents' home and submits to their pressures to start over. She does, falling into lust with a 19-year-old actor. What's the outcome? See the endearing, laugh-filled film to find out.
"Bachelorette" isn't up to snuff. Better to stay home and see a rerun of the reality TV show than sit through this effort by writer-director Leslye Headland to satirize pre-nuptial celebrations and unspoken rivalries between the bride and her three BFF bridesmaids. Talented stars Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher and Lizzy Caplan deserve a smarter project.
Sept. 12:
"Francine" is a heart-wrenching study of a marginalized woman's devastating vulnerability. The film brings us close to a woman trying to overcome the trauma of incarceration (for an undisclosed crime) and establish a new life in a small town, where she befriends stray cats instead of citizens. Written and directed by Melanie Shatsky and Brian Cassidy (a wife and husband team) and starring marvelous Melissa Leo.
Sept. 14:
"Liberal Arts" brings lovers' disparate ages into focus as Zippy, a 19-year- old college student (Elizabeth Olsen) falls for a 30-something alumnus (Josh Radnor, also the film's writer-director) who returns to campus for his professor dad's retirement party. She, as it turns out, is more mature and adept than he at handling the romance and the situation in this smart, sensitive film.
Sept. 21:
"Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel" is filmmaker Lisa Immordino Vreeland's fascinating profile of her grandmother-in-law, the "Empress of Fashion," who ruled in the realms of style, beauty, art, publishing and culture for most of the 20th century and launched the careers of Twiggy and many other blond, blue-eyed models whose looks set standards by which many women measured their self-esteem.
"About Cherry" is about 18-year-old Angeline (Ashley Hinshaw), who finds her way out of hard times living with her alcoholic mom (Lily Taylor) and violent dad by posing for nude photos. She's seduced by a charmingly smarmy lawyer (James Franco), falls under the influence of a former-porn-star-turned-director (Heather Graham) and is soon deep in the tawdry waters of pornography. The tale takes predicable turns and is marred by accelerated situational pathos. But Hinshaw is credible and Taylor is, as always, brilliant. Co-penned by Lorelei Lee.
"House at the End of the Street" is about a mom and daughter who move to a new town and discover that the house next door is haunted by a shocking past and very troubling present. Starring Elizabeth Shue and Jennifer Lawrence. Good plot, good scares, good performances. No spoilers. See it!
Sept. 28:
"Bringing Up Bobby" is writer-director (and "X-Man" star) Famke Janssen's first feature. Here, a single mother, Olive, played by Milla Jovovich, uses charm and impressive con artistry to provide for her adored young son. It's all fun for a while, but entertaining capers turn serious when Olive's criminal past catches up with her and she's incarcerated and faces excruciating decisions about what she must do to give Bobby a decent life.
"Backwards" is the story of Abigail Brooks, a rower, who must choose between her dad-instilled ambitions for Olympic gold and her awakening sense of joyful obligations to family, friends and community. This uplifting story is well told, well performed and never sappy. Written by and starring Sarah Megan Thomas.
"Won't Back Down" is about women who refuse to be marginalized. They are working moms who stand up to authorities to demand that their local public school provide their kids with a good education. Brin Hill scripted the film, which features powerhouse performances by Maggie Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Holly Hunter and Rosie Perez. Go Moms!
Sept. 31:
"How to Survive a Plague" is a gripping chronicle about how those who support the LGBT community, including women and men, gay and straight, organized to demand that the U.S. government and health care system make the HIV/AIDS epidemic a priority, find life-sustaining treatments and treat patients humanely. The brave efforts of ACT UP and T.A.G. leaders, Iris Long included, converted civic desperation and justified rage into massive activism that brought great results. This affecting, inspiring documentary inadvertently raises the remarkably relevant question of whether it takes a plague to galvanize citizens to take action.
In addition to covering film for Women's eNews, Jennifer Merin writes about documentaries for About.com and is president of the Alliance of Women Film Journalists, a nonprofit organization of the leading women film journalists in the U.S. and Canada.

August 24, 2009, News 12 at 6 O'clock
ATLANTA---A new book out this summer puts the spotlight on a terrible time in American history. A time when Americans fought each other, killed each other by the thousands and left the South in ruins. The book is called "The Bonfire, The Siege And Burning Of Atlanta." Marc Wortman is the author, and he knows he's retelling a familiar story.
"Well, to me, the story of Atlanta as lived by the people of Atlanta has never really been told, except in fiction."
And what better place to tell the story than the Civil War exhibit at the Atlanta History Center. But get ready to have your sense of history shattered.
"General Sherman loved the south. I know for many Southerners, that's hard to believe."
In 'Bonfire', Wortman paints a picture of an almost sympathetic Sherman who spent years living in the south and took it hard when southern states left the union to become the Confederate States of America.
"He loved the South and when secession came, he did weep."
"Despite his feelings for the South, and his feelings for the South were genuine and deep, he sided with the Union and then eventually did all he could to kill the Confederate army."
Wortman also writes about life in Atlanta during the war. How most people living here never thought the war would actually make it this far south. They were wrong.
"Here, Sherman was being disingenuous. He said there's no civilians left in the city, we won't harm any civilians. Well, there were people screaming out under 5 thousand shells a day."
'Bonfire' also describes a class of skilled slaves who actually managed to prosper during the war by moving freely between their Confederate captors and the Union soldiers captured by the Confederates.
"These slaves actually became currency arbitragers. They were people who were exchanging money between the 2 sides and making money off that exchange and a small number of them actually became rich during the war."
After years spent researching and writing "The Bonfire," Mac Wortman also gained an appreciation for the Confederate soldiers will to keep fighting.
"The Confederate army defended itself brilliantly. It defended a home territory against overwhelming forces. At the same time, the Confederate army didn't know when to say when."
And 145 years after that terrible summer, the war is still seems to have a life of its own.
"Lets talk about the south today, a place where Confederate flags aren't just flown in museums and basements, they're flying in people's front yards, still."
Well, I can understand taking pride in that heritage. That said, we have to understand we're one nation. The Civil War demonstrated that, it was forged in blood. We're one nation indissoluble and that union is permanent. And anybody who holds up the confederate flag to say- well, we're a pretend nation, I think is making a bad mistake."
"The Bonfire" also describes one last visit by General Sherman. It's something you won't find in many history books. The Union General came back to Atlanta 15 years after leaving it in ashes. The man who brought war to the South was welcomed at the train by the mayor who gave Sherman and his wife and daughters a tour of the city.
"The Bonfire--- The Siege and Burning of Atlanta" is in bookstores this summer.

In particular I would like resources to cover aspects such as how Mussolini was able to come into power etc.
I have added a practice paper set of questions from the specification below and would be grateful for any help with the topics included.
A4: Development of dictatorship: Italy, 191843
A. Study these events which occurred in Italy in the years 191829. (3 marks)
Write these events in the correct chronological sequence.
- The March On Rome
- Murder of Matteotti
- The Lateran Pacts
- The setting up of the fascist party
- The Acerbo Electoral Law
B. Choose either The Murder of Matteotti or The Acerbo Electoral Law and describe one effect on Italy of the event you have chosen. (4 Marks)
C. Why were the Lateran Pacts important to Mussolini? Explain your answer. (8 Marks)
D. Study the source below and then answer the question that follows. (10 Marks)
Source: from a modern textbook
During the 1920s Mussolini was very popular with many Italians. But in the 1930s he began to lose his appeal. Some of his plans were not thought through. When they did not work, Mussolini tended to give up. People began to realise that his claim to be some sort of a superman was simply not true.
Use the source, and your own knowledge, to explain why Mussolini became less popular in the 1930s.
(Total for Question A4: 25 marks)

The North Tahoe boys basketball team steamrolled visiting Coleville, 70-25, on Thursday.
Junior guard Alex Tyler scored a game-high 30 points, while senior forward Colin Spencer scored 28 points. Jordy Holst pulled down 12 rebounds and Sean McDermott had five steals.
"Everybody played well," said North Tahoe head coach Frank Wright. "It was a good tune-up game for Pershing County (on Saturday)."
The North Tahoe girls, meanwhile, defeated Coleville 38-24.
Sophomore guard Sara Trimm led the Lakers with 17 points, while junior Angela Wood scored 14.
"Coming off the break being rusty, it was good to get a win under our belt," said North Tahoe head coach Rick Buhler. "It's always good to get a win.
Buhler said sophomore center Sage Chador, who has been out with an injury, was cleared to practice starting Monday.

After the amazing show of 12/30, people were of two minds about New Year's Eve. Most people figured that there was no way that the show would live up to the previous one. Others had more hope. In either case, excitement was high before the show, as is only proper for 12/31.
This show starts with a what if. I tried to sit with my friends George and Elayne, but we couldn't find seats together. As a result, instead of sitting with close friends, Melissa and I sat near a bunch of screaming people who were more focused on the fate of various balloons and the state of their cocaine supplies than the music Phish was playing. I wonder if this review would be a lot more positive if that were not the case.
The show started off interestingly enough. Taking a page from the Disco Biscuits play book, they finished the "Wilson" from the night before, before starting "Mike's Song". Like most 2003 versions, the "Mike's" was short and didn't really go anywhere, but the "Weekapaug" part of this complete breakfast got my blood pumping early. The "Auld Lang Syne" tease served as a reminder of where I was, what I was doing, and why I should be excited about it.
I know that people in general don't want to read about Guyute, but something impressive happened in this one. During the fast part of the jam after the jig part, Mike and Trey were having a long conversation. They played their difficult parts perfectly while having the chat. That made me become even slightly more impressed with the band.
A solid You Enjoy Myself served as the likely set closer. Normally NYE sets run close to an hour. Instead though, we got a slamming First Tube which then led to the other Disco Biscuits moment, finishing the 12/30 Tube. The setlist games were pretty fun and you have to appreciate anything that has the result of giving us longer sets and shorter setbreaks. The first set break was under a half hour.
The first real highlight of the show was the start of the second set. The Stash was long and interesting, albeit more melodic and spacey than high energy. When paired with an energetic Seven Below, this worked really well. One Yinged, the other Yanged and this was a great half hour of music. While the rest of the set did little for me (the Chalk Dust -> Slave > Chalk Dust was a lot better on paper than it was live), at least we were going to get one peak worthy of this run.
After four days it was finally upon us. My side stage seats let me know that it was a car behind the curtains, but I was dying to know what they would do with it. The setbreak music made me even more curious, as they played a lot of songs with a car theme. I didn't see how they would be able to fit the car onto the stage until the set started and they moved Fishman's drum kit. Then the car came down and many, many, many marching band performers came out on stage, to the tune of Jungle Boogie. I think if I were sitting anywhere else in the building, I would have been amazed by this, but unfortunately, I was right by the stage. I could see the trap door opening to let people in through the car. It's better to have illusions sometimes.
2004 started off the way that every year should. After a brief Iron Man instrumental, we got a long, exciting Runaway Jim. The first ten minutes of the song were just okay, but then Trey counted out a jam to Fishman and things really took off. The jam became an energetic thing that vaguely reminded me of Satisfaction. After six minutes or so of playing that theme, it went into a spacey build jam like the end of A Day in the Life. That was the tension, the release was the return to the jam. A minute later they did the build jam trick again, this time to a different theme. This was a great jam and I was getting extremely excited for this set. Maybe this show would rival the previous one!
...Or maybe it wouldn't. Perhaps Simple should have the line, "What is a band without buzzkills?" because that is the role that that song takes on these days. Two of my favorite jams of the year - this Jim and the Philly Twist from the Thanksgiving Run - were ended by a segue into Simple. That is reason alone for me to root for its retirement, or at least a return to the Summer 1994 anarchistic versions. Follow that with a sloppy Reba, and the set seemed lost. The best thing about this part of the show was a sign that someone was holding up in the air, "Just doing some stretching." It's nice to see fans with a sense of humor.
Speaking of which, we got a return to the wackiness during I Didn't Know. The vacuum section morphed into a cover of Feel My Heat. This was classic Phish silliness, and the joke continuing during the HYHU that followed. "Can you feel that?, Trey asked, That's Henrietta's heat!". This is the sort of wackiness that I always hope for in a third set environment.
As I was walking back to my hotel after the Frankenstein encore, I was pretty down on this show. The stunt seemed more confused than anything, lacking the style of the giant hotdog or the obvious theme of the Seven Below snowstorm. The sets were all inconsistent; every one had some mediocre moments. Now that I've had a day to fly home (and catch up on my sleep some on the airplanes), I'm a little more positive about this.
Sure, it's not 12/31/95 or Big Cypress, but this is a welcome addition to the NYE pantheon. Between the setlist games, the two great jams, and a few minor bits of wackiness, this did what a NYE show was supposed to do. It was a capping bit of wackiness to end a really good four show run. I can't really ask for anything more than that.

So PMS just died on me so I went to restart it when I noticed for the first time, A third detected media renderer.
And it got me thinking about security, Does PMS just show what can be connected or what is physically connected under the "Detected Media Renderers" banner?
I have one ps3 connected wirelessly and one wired but there is a "Samsung AllShare" that I don't own showing up.
Am I being paranoid or do I need to start kicking down my neighbors' door?

Hey Guys,
I'm having some problems w/ PMS and Ubuntu. I just set up a dual boot with XP and UB, and prior to running PMS on UB I installed mplayer according to this post.
Everything seems to be ok because I can play the files in UB just fine using mplayer and movies I have watched before with windows&PMS now wont work. MKV files say they are corrupted and regular AVI's that the PS3 should support natively say they are not supported.
Any ideas?

UPDATE *** 12u Pearland Panthers '00 *** Tryout August 15th **
Additional tryout will be held Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 7:30pm on field 3 at the Pearland Dad's Club.
Location: PGSA, 5522 Fite Road, Pearland, Texas 77584.
We started this organization two years ago with just one 10u team. That first team went on to win multiple tournaments, including 2nd in District and 3rd in State.
Last year as a first year 12u team we were very competitive with several top 3 finishes as well as winning two tournaments.
The Pearland Panthers softball organization now has a 10u, 12u and 18u team.
All of our managers have NCAA Division I playing experience giving our girls the extra mentoring to grow individually and as a strong team.
We are looking for girls that are willing to work hard and give 100% on and off the field. All positions are open. We are looking for a few big sticks and slap hitters.
All girls must be able to play more than one position and be solid defensively. Strong '01 players considered.
If you are unable to attend the tryout, need a private tryout, or have any questions at all, please contact Donnie Anderson at 281-435-6310 email@example.com
We look forward to seeing your girls at tryouts! Go 12u Panthers!!
Tryout in 3 days!
See you in 2 days!
See you tomorrow!

I have a Intel Core2Quad 8300 processor running at 2.5Ghz per core with 3 GB of RAM and a 10/100 Mbps Netgear WGR614v7 router.
I am using version 1.10.51.
I am experiencing audio lag when playing back video with MEncoder. It's probably a few seconds of lag. I have searched and no one seams to have an answer.
Transcode buffer set to 400, 6 channel 5.1 audio, max bandwidth set to 0 ( i changed it to 14-15 and it didn't help)
I am using a PS3 to view the videos. It happens on 720 and 1080p content.
What settings should I try changing?

STANFORD -- Stanford's defense and its bench made the difference Saturday in a sometimes unsightly 69-59 win over Cal at Maples Pavilion.
With 5,877 fans looking on, the Cardinal (11-7, 2-3 Pac-12) effectively frustrated the Bears' two top players, and John Gage led the way as Stanford's reserves outscored their counterparts 26-3.
Gage, a 6-foot-10 junior forward, scored a career-high 14 points, including 4 for 4 from the 3-point line. "It was a tremendous lift," said Dwight Powell, who led the Cardinal with 17 points and nine rebounds. "We just feed off his energy. It's good for the whole team."
Just as critical was Stanford's defensive effort on Pac-12 scoring leader Allen Crabbe and backcourt mate Justin Cobbs, who were a combined 1 for 11 in the first half. Stanford led 37-29 at the break and Cal never regained the lead.
Stanford shadowed Crabbe with Andy Brown, who has overcome three ACL surgeries on his left knee, then gave him help every time the Cal star tried to get free.
"I come off a screen and the guy's right there waiting for me. They're trying to take everything away from me," Crabbe said. "Just like every other team, they try to find ways to get me frustrated."
Crabbe scored 14 points, but his season scoring average (19.8) dipped below 20 points for the first time all season. Cobbs missed his first seven shots and finished with 13 points on 4 for 15 from the field.
Cal coach Mike Montgomery said the Bears (10-7, 2-3) were unable to make Stanford pay for the extra attention given to Crabbe and Cobbs.
In fact, neither team got much accomplished offensively. Cal shot 34.9 percent, Stanford just 35.8 percent.
But the Cardinal was 25 for 31 from the foul line, including 15 for 17 in the second half. That allowed the hosts to win despite making just one field goal in the final 7:07.
"It was the way we were able to get the free throws," Cardinal coach Johnny Dawkins said. "Our kids played with some aggression, attacked the basket."
Chasson Randle contributed 15 points, but the contributions of Gage, Rosco Allen and Gabriel Harris off the bench were invaluable. Allen had six points and seven rebounds and Harris chipped in six points and three assists.
"I'd like to have 26 points off the bench," Montgomery said. "You can't make excuses. We just don't have a lot of flexibility."
That's because reserve guards Brandon Smith (concussion) and Ricky Kreklow (foot) continue to be sidelined. They have combined to play nine minutes in five Pac-12 games, and Montgomery isn't sure when they will be healthy.
Still, Montgomery said, "I think the group of people we had today were good enough to win this game if we had done the things we are capable of."
With Crabbe and Cobbs starting to come to life, Cal got within 43-42 with 13 minutes left when a series of mistakes sparked a 7-0 Stanford run. The first of them was a cross-court pass by Cobbs that Randle picked off and turned into a basket.
"He kind of telegraphed his pass," Randle said. "I just shot the gap."
"Just a killer ... a dagger," Montgomery called it.
Cal also came away empty on its next three possessions, without Crabbe or Cobbs getting a shot. Asked if perhaps the wrong people took shots at a key time in the game, Montgomery said, "There's no doubt about that."
The right man for Stanford was Gage, whose final 3-pointer came moments after Randle's steal and layup and stretched the lead.
"He found some openings in their defense," Dawkins said. "We want John to take those shots."
Especially on a day when almost no one else could make one.

Wednesday's letters: Council's decision
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 6:16 p.m.
To the editor: It has happened once again! Much effort and time have been spent by many people, apparently all for nothing. This time, the Hendersonville City Council has scrapped plans for a sculpture at Seventh Avenue and Main Street, deciding on a clock tower instead.
The people who should have made that choice (and thought they had) are all told that they dont matter.
I have an idea why doesnt the City Council just tell us what we will have and save everyone time and input? Oh, right, they did.

Great addition
To the editor: Thank you for professor Ernie Mazzatenta and his learned and amusing columns.
At Penn State University in 1961, every undergraduate was required to enroll in Speech 201. All the classes were taught by the departments graduate students, of whom I was one. Speaking in public was, for some, akin to appearing before the Spanish Inquisition. I wish I could have explained to them the proper use of English grammar as well as does professor Mazzatenta.
Now that we know when to use who and when to use whom, I look forward to a column differentiating its from its. It would be a boon to personkind!
Martha O. Hogenboom
Move Garrison
To the editor: I am a Times-News subscriber and generally start my day by reading the paper. I would like to suggest that you change the placement of local columnist Mary Garrisons column. Consistently, her column is placed on page C4, which is on the back of a full-page ad (page C3).
For many years, Ms. Garrison has written thoughtful, on-point columns about issues relevant to the residents of Henderson County and has won awards for her work. Whether about local education issues, local politics or issues related to women and families, her column resonates with people from all walks of life. Why is it not placed more prominently as the columns of all the other local columnists are?
We are fortunate to have a writer of Ms. Garrisons caliber among us. Leave the back pages for syndicated columnists and give her column the placement it deserves.

I'd rather be a 42A than a 36 Long
Ah... but who do you think is going to have the last laugh? That's right. Me. You see, as the rest of you well-endowed women while away your weekends wearing Wonderbras to keep your ta-tas from scraping the floor, I'll be lounging in my sports bra or no bra at all because I'm still as perky as a 12 year old (boy, even.)
Why am I writing this?
More importantly perhaps, why are you still reading this? (Apologies to any male who happened to pick today to see what I'm up to.)
I suppose the reason for my writing this can be summed up as follows: I'm happy to be alive! And I really don't give a rat's rear anymore how big or small my breasts are! Cancer has slapped me upside the head and forced me to call to attention much more important issues and to value every day I'm here on earth.
Life is not measured by the number of breasts you take, but by the moments that take your breasts away. (Now that's just sick, Mags...AND it makes absolutely no sense.)
I'm off to visit a friend this weekend. She's going through her own 'trauma'.... turning 50! And speaking of birthdays, this little old blog turned THREE yesterday. Time flies when you're writing about food and boobs, eh?
Thank you to all of you who continue to check up on me and for leaving such encouraging comments. You guys are the best!

You are hilarious Mags! That was one of your breast posts yet! ;)
I too have been part of the highly exclusive yet not so popular "A club" my whole life. In my teens and (let's be honest) twenties I waited, and waited and waited hoping that I was a ridiculously late bloomer. No such luck.
Like you I take comfort in knowing that years from now 'my girls' won't have to be rolled up like tube socks and stuffed into a bra b/c, quite frankly, I barely need one. Let's just say that Victoria Secret doesn't get much financial support (pun!) from yours truly.
Like you said, it's not what fills the cup that counts. Good on ya for staying so positive. Congrats on your third year bloggaversary!!
- June 30, 2011 at 9:15 PM
I really appreciate your humor! I just had a call back for more tests after my mammogram. Something about asymetrical left breast.. I'm scared and your outlook helps a lot. Good luck to both of us!

I had breast envy all my childhood, as the middle girl, I was the tallest, but an A, and my two sisters were shorter, but big breasted. The jokes and comments were horrible.
But time changed things. They now complain of everything hanging to their knees, and envy me that I have a waist, my boobs are still lovely, and pointed in the right direction, and my height still carries me well! They say living well is the best revenge.. absolutely! ;)
I work in oncology/hematology on a hospital floor. I see everyday the pain of diagnosis, the hope for cure, drudgery of treatments, and the courage of my patients. I believe in helping my patients live well and in hope everyday, and seek the blessings or something positive in each day. You are a woman of courage and strength, and using humor to cope. I applaud you and wish you the best, everyday, and a long and healthy life. I found your blog through KAF, so, as a fellow foodie, I wanted to say HI! love your blog and may you live, love, and blog happily for a long time to come.

How you can keep your sense of humor through all of this is amazing. My beef is that I started out being a 28AAA and now I am way past that! I loved being flat now that I'm not. Never happy, are we women!

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) � Federal agents are making arrests in Puerto Rico and five U.S. states in a crackdown on the use of stolen Puerto Rican identities by illegal immigrants and in financial crimes.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents have warrants for 21 people on charges that include money laundering, fraud and production of false documents. Angel Melendez of the agency's Office of Homeland Security Investigations says half the suspects are in custody after a series of arrests early Friday and the rest are being sought.
Melendez says the group stole the identities of at least 500 people from Puerto Rico. Many were used by illegal immigrants from the nearby Dominican Republic to reach the U.S. The states where suspects live are Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and New Jersey.

Also I'm glad that the Perfect 10 was held on Saturday instead of Sunday. Although warmer, it was insanely windy. The first five miles would have been heading South into the wind. Talk about resistance training.
Ah yes, and for more on early 20th century marathon training methods, see The Lore of Running, 4th Ed. by Tim Noakes M.D.
He also has a section on the Jack Daniels method of Marathon training. Not making this up, although it's not what you'd expect.

7,3 miles 58 min. 2 a day before the rain.
degre: Books that will not be published : " How to run a marathon on 80 miles a week." "How to get rich in 45 years"
TM repeats workout tonight. 2 mile warmup, then 10 x 400 @ 1:40 pace (200 jogs), then 3 x 200 @ :45 pace (100 jogs), then cooldown jog. Total 6 miles, 50 minutes. Good thing about it...... Felt GREAT.
NHLA.... Do you wear a cape when you run into town?
Melody... Take it easy getting your partner back into running shape.
For all who dare run in the cold.... you are too dedicated!!!!!! I have a couple winter races I'm mulling over. Most likely not, but I'd love to try one. But I'm cold when it's 50 out.
Have nice days, runners.
Webpro.... Hopefully, like with broken toes, this problem will self-heal with time.
Coyote... Your 1,000 mile mark got me wondering. I checked my YTD on my running log, and I'm at 1,151. If you add yours and mine together, we're just 3,749 miles less than NHLA!!
All, sorry for delayed response but still trying to get back into it! So many posts, so many good news stories, will try to respond to as many as I can right now.
NHLA: Happy Belated B-Day! And good luck with the ladies, although it does not appear you need much luck!
coyote: Great trail race post! Thanks for bringing us all along. Still want to catch up one of these days.
melodylea: Hope your BF is better soon. Understand the "cold" part of your story as Winter seems to have set in here in CO also.
degregrorious: nice 10 miler! Sounds like you are back in the groove...no more "dead legs"!
jmsab: impressive, as usual, TM work! Any update on Caleb? Constantly think about him and all others facing struggles like him.
webpro: Hope you get back to feeling normal soon. What a toll we put on our bodies and then wonder why it doesn't just respond like we want it to.
az414: welcome back...keep running strong!
francessmom: nice tribute to our troops! Thanks to all that are serving, have served, or will serve. I sleep much better at night because of them.
mkayc: Best of luck in Philly! It's a super flat, friendly course so sure you will do great! Take it easy early and finish strong!
justrundan: back in the saddle! Run strong!
Finally starting to get it back. Went out on Saturday for 6-8 miles and ended up running in the sleet/snow (note to self: sleet in the face hurts!). When sleet started had no choice but to run faster and finish sooner. Got in 7 miles at faster than expected pace and felt great when done. Welcome mother Winter.
Am in Panama now, and will get out for 4-5 miles along sunrise over the Pacific Ocean (yes, I meant to say that so go figure it out) in the morning. Hope to do same on Wed or Thur before return to CO.
Hope you all are having a great running week. Run strong, but most of all, be fearless!
jmsab: For what it's worth, your post caused me to go back and check my mileage to date. The good news is that I have nearly 1100 miles, blood, sweat and tears this year. The bad news is that you, coyote and I are still over 2500 miles short of NHLA. Once again proving there is a difference between good and great!
Cheers to NHLA!
And again, for what it's worth, and probably meaningless, the records show that those 1100 miles included over 6 miles of elevation gain (clearly something I never thought I was capable of) and over 150,000 calories burned. In round terms, that equals 50 pounds of fat burned. Then to worry that I have gained 10 pounds by eating more carbs than before almost sounds silly.
Point is, we lose perspective how much good we are all doing for ourselves. Many of you have told stories of great weight loss (snerb, nhla, coyote, and others) but more to the point is that we are all staving off and even defeating Mother Time and the inevitable weight gain that occurs over time.
Team, I couldn't be more proud than to associate myself with you all. Your hopes, dreams and lifetime aspirations are unfolding in front of you, whether you realize it or not.
Keep up the great work! Proud of you all!
6.4 miles 51 min. Rain, wind, & cold. Dang that was a tough run.
No Cape required. I am a Baad Man.
Trying to get to 80mpw. 18 miles today. Good start.
I guess I do run alot,
Linuscatch - "Team, I couldn't be more proud than to associate myself with you all. " - right back at you! You all amaze me
Melody - hope your little friend is recovering nicely.
NHLA - "I guess I do run a lot" - you're just now figuring that out?? You are an inspiration for us all!
Had a nice run this weekend, turned out to only be 5.34 miles but I had not eaten so knew I could not go much more than that anyway. Weather was beautiful, I could wear capri's and a short sleeve tee. So much nicer than running all bundled up! My Jingle Bell run challenge ( run on Thanksgiving 1 mile per team member who joins before this weekend) is up to 5 miles and I know one other person who is planning to join after their payday this week, so it should be a real nice run to start the holiday.
New Year's Color Run (5k) - 01/01/13
Oshkosh Half-Marathon - 04/21/13
Did crosstraining tonight. Funny thing happened while 3 1/2 yr old grandson was here Saturday: he was downstairs playing for a couple minutes, so I went down to check on him. He was straddling the exercise bike, asking me to see the numbers on the (previously blank/dead) screen. I had been using my stopwatch for the past month to time my biking. I checked the screen, and "Voila!" He had the numbers back!! I asked him what he did, but, of course, he didn't know, so I just gave him a big hug and high five and told him he did great. Whatever he did.
So, tonight I did my 2 sets of core/strength exercises and then 30:12 (15 miles) on the bike.
Tomorrow a.m. it's supposed to be cold, barely above freezing. I told my son's buddy I'd really try to make it, so I took out my thick running pants and some more cold-weather gear and I'm trying to convince myself it's the right thing to do.
Boy, do I hate the cold. We'll see.
Linus.... I just called our friend, who is our connection to Caleb, before I logged on. I didn't think to ask, as we were discussing our planned Myrtle Beach trip next spring. But I will ask next week when we see them again.
Oshcat... Sounds like a great challenge you have going with the Jingle Bell Run. Good Luck!!
NHLA..... If Linus's reasoning is correct, you are on your way to living to 237!!!!
Linus-you are so right. Although I have a little over 1/2 the milage you do this year, if I consider where I was at when I started running and where I am now, I've come a long, long way. Face it, we all have! And you are so right, it is a privilege to be associated with you all and participate in your struggles and success with you. I have appreciate all your support in this last year.
Continue on friends!

7.3 miles 58 min. Everybody noticed I stopped wearing glasses. This just doesn't happen. Think I'll go freak out my eye doctor.
Its not the distance or the time its the awareness.
8.69mi - 10:35/mi. - I am still a newbie. Been pushing those distance limits - started to feel some achillies pain today - wasnt sure if I should stop running vs. risk injury. ::Knock on wood:: Im so new at this, I havent had an injury yet. Today was a crappy day, 41 degrees, wet - on and off rain, and near the end of the run, hail.
The hail actually pushed me to keep going. Mentally I thought that a guy demoted to walking in hail looked sad and pathetic but a person who chose to run despite the hail looked cool.
So far, snow is holding off. Planning on cutting back a little over the next 10 days - Thanksgiving - work - tendon pain. Probably going for a bike ride on Thursday or Friday. I am about 33% towards my goal of running a Marathon in May. 0.5mile weekly increases get me to 22.0mile runs by end of May. I got this!
NHLA congrats on another great couple runs.
linuscatch do you want to add my 261 miles to coyote, yourself and jmsab to only be behind NHLA by 2240 miles? In all seriousness- very nice comment #4328. I am in the group that has yet to realize the weight loss goals I have set for myself. I am feeling and seeing a difference in body shape, clothes fit and energy - despite the mostly unchanged scale. This year, I have done more running than I even have in my life. And I still have 6 months where I had 20 miles or less. I am finally to a point where I could do 20 miles in a week, as long as I stay healthy.

Cory Booker Sworn In to Senate by Biden
By Allison Prang
Former Newark Mayor Cory Booker was greeted with applause from the floor and gallery as he was sworn in as a U.S. senator Thursday by Vice President Joe Biden.
Before the formal swearing in, Mr. Booker was greeted with welcoming remarks from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as Mr. Booker made his way around the senate floor shaking hands and giving hugs.
Mr. Booker, a Democrat, won the senate race by 55%, with his opponent, Republican Steve Lonegan, coming in at 44%. The special election was to succeed Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who died in June. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had previously appointed Republican Jeff Chiesa to fill the late. Sen. Lautenberg's seat.
The country and New Jersey are fortunate to have Senator Cory Booker represent them. pic.twitter.com/P7wrtpIlOF

Welcome to the Senate @CoryBooker!

Welcome and congratulations to a new Senate colleague, @CoryBooker. #NewJersey #CoryBooker #NJSen

Look forward to working with the new senator from New Jersey, @CoryBooker. I was on the floor when @VP Biden administered the oath.

I have 2 laptops, both with PMS with the exact same settings. One is a Windows 7, the other Windows 8. One the Windows 7 PC the PMS work's perfectly 99% of the time. On the Windows 8 PC PMS works next to never, but has worked a few times. I read in an earlier post from someone with a related problem, someone had mentioned that maybe the problem is related due to the fact the computers were on a WORKGROUP. My 2 computers are on a HOMEGROUP. If this is the issue, is there anyway around it?
On the Windows 8 PC most the time the status shows a red X and no renderers. When this is happening, my PS3 will display the error, which I do not really understand, "Access to the media server is not allowed. It is possible that the system name for this PS3 system, "PS3-990, has not been register. Check the settings for the media server." In my ps3 menu the Windows 7 PC displays a picture of a PS3 and the 8-PC displays almost what looks like a XBOX360 or a white external hard drive.
Thank you for any help!

Burger King's Twitter account was apparently hacked Monday.
Pranksters replaced the fast food restaurant's avatar with the McDonald's logo and said the company had been sold to its archrival "because the whopper flopped."
The fast-food restaurant's news feed was filled with references to drugs and links to rap music with profane lyrical content.
Some of the messages claimed Burger King employees snorted prescription medication in the restrooms and advertised bath salts for sale.
The account was apparently hacked just before noon and was suspended by 1:15 p.m.
Burger King's Facebook page had not acknowledged the hack on another social media platform.

5 Single Latino Celebrities We'd Go on a Date With
When the new year rolls around, we always turn to this mile-long list of resolutions (most of which we never get to anyway). When it comes to relationships, it's no different. "Ditch the lists with all the crazy so-called requirements you seek in a man. So what if he doesn't have six-pack abs or a bank account most men his age dream about." Focus on the qualities you want in a guy, like ambition, a sense of humor, and honesty.
Gaillard says communication is the key to making any relationship work. "Women communicate all too well, while men listen (or at least pretend to). Instead of talking all the time, try listening for a change. You'll learn a lot in the process and he'll feel like his feelings are being regarded. "If you've done nothing but talk about that girl at work you can't stand and your guy responds with a "wow, that's crazy," he's most likely not listening and bored out of his mind. Get him to talk by asking how his day was, and when you're arguing, give him a chance totell his side of the story too. And once in a while, take time to listen to his boring talks about Fantasy Football, because after all, he does listen to your chisme about drama with your amigas.

Boys continue winning ways
New head coach Phil Bryant isn't focused on the wins, but the Warriors notched another one Saturday. Whittell defeated Bryant's former team Westwood 62-19.
"It was a little bittersweet because I had coached there for 35 years before taking over at Whittell," Bryant said in an email. "I know all those Westwood players since I coached both varsity boys and varsity girls the past two years."
The boys got off to a fast start with full court pressure and ended the first quarter up 26-4. It was the defense of Austin Neil, Garrett Bronken, Mark Waite, Rodney Aguirre-Rodriguez and Palmer Chaplin that got Whittell the steals and the easy baskets.
From there, the Warriors went on to outscore Westwood 20-6 in the second quarter. The bench took over from there. Ten different players scored. The only player in double figures was Bronken, who dropped in 10 points.
"That reinforces all the conversations we have had about team play. The starters were on the bench but in full support of the back-up players, who continued the hard play and were able to hold Westwood down," Bryant said. "We pulled off the full court pressure in the first period but maintained solid half court defense throughout the remainder of the game. We were also helped by a poor shooting night by Westwood as the missed their first nine shots."
The boys improved to 9-1, but they will be put to the test in the upcoming weeks as they face the league powerhouses.
"South Tahoe is playing very well now, and so is Incline, Truckee, North Tahoe and Sparks," Bryant said. "Hopefully, we can build on our 9-1 start and continue to compete hard. We are young so we have lots of room to grow."
Girls drop Westwood game
A strong second half couldn't erase a slow first quarter for the Warriors on Saturday. The girls dropped their Westwood game 41-28 despite a second-half surge.
The Warriors got off to a slow start. Westwood outscored them 25-11 in the first half. The girls came out stronger in the second half, outscoring Westwood 17-16.
Amanda Harris led the team with 13 points. Emily Harris notched eight. Gisselle Benitez added four, and Jenny Shepack delivered three to the Warriors' cause.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team will play its inaugural match on Friday, Aug. 23, when it hosts the University of Houston at 5 p.m. at the Dugan Family Soccer and Track Stadium. The grand opening ceremony for the facility will be held just prior to the match at 4:55 p.m.
University President Dr. Flavius Killebrew, Director of Athletics Scott Lazenby, Texas State Representative Todd Hunter and primary benefactor Dr. Jack Dugan will take part in the grand opening ceremony, as the university dedicates the newest piece in Islanders Athletics' outstanding group of facilities. The stadium is one of the finest in the area, providing a permanent home for both the soccer and track and field programs at the Island University.
Islanders Soccer is in its first year as an intercollegiate athletics program, the 15th sport at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The university announced the addition of the program in October 2011, and head coach Shanna Caldwell was hired in January 2012. The first class of Islanders soccer players began practice just over two weeks ago, on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
A&M-Corpus Christi played two preseason events, a scrimmage at Houston-Victoria that resulted in a 4-0 win and an exhibition with the University of Texas, with the Longhorns prevailing 6-1. Rachel Keeley scored the lone goal for the Islanders in Austin last Friday, while Alyssa Miller put two balls in the back of the net at UHV.
The Cougars defeated Southland Conference foe Northwestern State in their lone exhibition match of the 2013 preseason. Jasmine Martinez scored the game's only goal in the fourth minute, and Cami Koski's four saves carried U of H to a 1-0 victory. Houston's second exhibition, scheduled against Rice, was cancelled.
The first 300 fans will receive a commemorative tshirt while the first 500 fans will receive a fan to help keep cool. There will also be a post-match autograph session with autograph cards provided by Small Planet Delicatessen & Bakery.
Live stats and live video for the inaugural game will be available at GoIslanders.com. For all the latest on Islanders Soccer, follow the team on Instagram and Twitter (@IslandersSoccer) and like the team's official Facebook page (Islanders Soccer).

When students and alumni of the Mt. Diablo school district hear the words "cheese zombie," up pop fond thoughts of gooey, cheese-filled balls of dough that do a great job of filing stomachs with ultimate comfort food.
But when I asked Anna Fisher, director of food and nutrition services, how it was made, she said it has changed over the years, to keep up with each new set of school lunch guidelines:
When more restrictive sodium guidelines take effect, Fisher said, it probably won't be possible to have both ham and cheese in a school lunch "zombie."
The concoction is so popular that the farmers market at Concord High even sells it. However, Fisher wasn't sure which version you can get there.
When I Googled "cheese zombie," I found many links to recipes from areas around the country that have their own "zombies." But one from a Clayton Valley High alumni caught my eye.
It's at http://gourmetrooster.blogspot.com/2011/07/zombie-apocalypse.html. This version, however, includes a substitute for homemade dough.
What's your favorite cheese zombie recipe?
