VIENNA- Supporters came out Wednesday to the Chick-fil-A in Vienna to be a part of the Chick-fil-A appreciation Day being held nationwide.
People crowded into the restaurant on Grand Central Avenue throughout the day as staff continually worked to fill orders and meet customers' needs.
The special day was called for by Fox News commentator and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to allow people to show their support for the company. CEO Dan Cathy said in an interview he strongly supported the traditional religious view of marriage, being between a man and a woman.

Crowds packed into the Chick-fil-A restaurant in Vienna Wednesday.
The stance has led to an outcry from the gay community accusing the company of being homophobic. The company has received political backlash, but also a lot of support from conservatives.
Some people came to the Vienna store with signs in support of Cathy's stance.
Leota Corbitt and Pati Peters of Parkersburg were sitting in the restaurant with a sign that said "Traditional Marriage."
''We are for traditional marriage,'' Corbitt said.
People were at the Vienna restaurant to express their values, Peters said.
''It is everyone standing up for what they believe in, traditional marriages and what is right according to the Bible,'' she said.
They were part of a group who came from Landmark Baptist Church.
''We are here to support our church and to support Chick-fil-A on their beliefs,'' Peters said.
At one point, all of those gathered in the restaurant began singing "God Bless America" and at its conclusion broke out in cheers and applause.
Paul Hickman of Waverly said he was impressed by the show of support from the community.
''We are just here to support Chick-fil-A and their stand with the Bible and biblical rights,'' he said. ''This is a Christian-based community and I think the people here support Christian values.''
Russell Wooten of Vienna said the show of support was not meant as hate against anyone; it was showing values many people share, he said.
''We are standing on the biblical principles,'' he said. ''This is not a hate issue.
''It is standing on God's word that marriage is between a man and a woman. We ought to support that in any way that we can. Hopefully, this will bring a big change in the direction that the country seems to be going at this time.''
Wanda Morehead of Marietta hoped Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country were seeing the kinds of crowds they were in Vienna.
''I am hoping this is happening all over the place,'' she said.
From the day Truett Cathy started the company, he began applying biblically based principles to managing his business, Steve Robinson, executive vice president of marketing for Chick-fil-A, said in a press release issued by the company Wednesday.
''The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect - regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender,'' he said.
George Angelos, owner of the Chick-fil-A franchises on Grand Central Avenue and in the Grand Cental Mall, said he was thankful to those who came out.
''We are appreciative of everyone's support,'' he said. ''(Wednesday) was the busiest day in the 16 years we have been in the Parkersburg/Vienna area.''

Washington, DC (June 15, 2004) –– The propane industry today announced that it is expanding its Forklift Technician Maintenance & Training Program for companies that operate Class 4 and 5 large spark ignition (LSI) propane-fueled forklifts. The program will be offered in 20 cities nationwide with the first class to be held at Gwinnett Technical College in Atlanta, GA., on June 22nd.
"The tremendous success of last year's six-city pilot program has clearly demonstrated the value and need for expanding the program," said John Kamps, an independent propane marketer and member of the Propane Education and Research Council's Executive Committee. "The propane industry is committed to helping forklift operators maximize their lift trucks' performance benefits while adhering to workplace safety and air quality requirements."
Last year, classes were held in California (Sacramento and Santa Fe Springs), Illinois (Cicero), Ohio (Cincinnati) and Texas (Irving and Houston). As part of the pilot program, pre- and post-tests were administered to all the attendees to assess training effectiveness. The average test score improved by 51 percent upon course completion.
The 2004 program, designed for pre-2002 open-loop forklift models, consists of a one-day course that trains attendees in the proper procedures for maintaining and repairing propane-powered forklift fuel systems. The first batch of classes this year will be held at the following cities:
The course, which includes shop exercises that assess the overall fuel system of a forklift, begins with a classroom session reviewing technical issues and specifications. The class then performs a shop exercise that assesses the overall fuel system of a forklift. Emission data is collected at idle, part throttle and full load engine settings using an exhaust gas analyzer. Class participants then perform the recommended adjustments and evaluate the results. Participants then return to the classroom to discuss the results and review the identified maintenance approach. At the end of the course, students are tested through laboratory demonstrations and written exams.
As part of the course, each participating company also receives a Lambda air/fuel ratio meter to ensure that students are able to accurately monitor forklift emissions on an ongoing basis. In addition, participants also receive a two-volume set of materials.
The first volume consists of the course curriculum, which is based on an all-new Forklift & Industrial Engine Propane Fuel Systems Training Manual developed by the propane industry. It includes information on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code), and includes an examination of issues specific to various forklift manufacturers' specifications as well as local regulations. The curriculum also includes an introduction to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions regulations for propane-fueled forklifts.
New this year is a second volume, which contains a complete set of original equipment manufacturer service manuals featuring maintenance information for most fuel systems and forklift models, from Algas to Zenith. This volume is important in that it features maintenance specifications for equipment that is no longer manufactured or has been discontinued.
"The propane industry understands that there is a clear need for a fresh approach to forklift fuel system maintenance and repair, and technician training," said Brian Feehan, executive director of the Propane Vehicle Council. "The propane industry is pleased to bring our successfully demonstrated approach to provide forklift maintenance personnel with the information they need to reduce emissions, save on fuel costs, and increase efficiency of their propane-powered forklifts."
At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to:

A Natural Development
A Lifelong Process
Teens: Own Your Faith
Kids: Ask Away
"I do it!" I hear this phrase nonstop
on a daily basis from my
two-year-old daughter, Riley.
Needless to say, she's a bit independent.
But then again, so are her
older brother and sister.
I frequently reassure myself that
independence is a wonderful thing.
And I recall the saying about parents
giving their children roots and wings.
The roots part I've got down. It's the
wings thing that's giving me problems,
especially the older they get.
But I know that at some point I have
to let go a little and let them try to
spread their wings. They are growing,
learning and developing their own
sense of who they are. And that pertains
to all aspects of their lives, including
their faith.
A Natural Development
Our faith is an ever-changing, ever-growing
process. Numerous studies of
faith development have confirmed
that. In many ways, it is a perfect match
to the journey we take as parents in
providing solid roots to carry our children
through the many stages of faith
development that lie ahead.
How we do that is the tricky part. Of
course, we can take them to Mass and
religious education and discuss our
faith at home. But as parents discover,
each child is distinctly different. They are different in their interests, temperaments,
personalities—just about
everything. So it's only logical that a
one-size-fits-all approach to anything—
including faith—won't work.
That is why parents are such important
teachers of faith. Only they know
the size that fits each child best.
As you accompany your children on
their faith journey, here are some
things to keep in mind:
Encourage growth. Give your children
opportunities to question and try
out new things, both in life and in
their faith. Present opportunities where
they can try things that will stretch
their minds and abilities. In short, work
on helping them develop their wings.
And remember that your faith is not
automatically your kid's faith.
Embrace differences. Everyone's
faith is different. For instance, some
people find comfort in the more traditional
aspects of our faith, while others
welcome change with open arms. Neither
is wrong, just different. Try to be
open to those aspects of our faith that
aren't necessarily your cup of tea.
Ask for help. There have been a number
of times when one of my children
has asked me a question that left me
stumped. I often take those questions
to a priest friend of mine and he helps
me craft a response that is appropriate
for my child's age and understanding.
Don't be afraid. Change can be scary,
but it can also be exciting. As your children
grow and change, embrace it and
remember that it's all part of a normal
Know when to step back. At some
point your kids are going to have to
take charge of their own faith. Let them
do that. Sure, they'll make mistakes,
but haven't we all? The best thing you
can do is prepare them for what lies
ahead and then be there for them to
come to or fall back on if need be.
Tag along. As your children grow and
explore, go along for the ride. You'd
be surprised how much you might
learn or be re-energized in your faith.
Recently, Maddie, my oldest, asked me
to help her begin praying the Memorare
and I had to admit that I couldn't
remember how it began. That simple
request provided me with an opportunity
to get reacquainted with the
prayer. And it reminded me that our
faith journey is a lifelong one.
The key is to realize that it's a process
and that on any given day everyone in
your family may be at a different place
in that process. And hopefully they'll
be able to spread their wings and push
off from the solid base you have provided.
A few years back I went to a conference about the various stages of faith development.
When the presenters said that during the teenage years it was completely normal for
questions about faith to arise, I was amazed. No one had ever told me that and I
thought I was having one massive crisis of faith. Turns out it was totally normal.
You see, these are the years for you to start taking ownership of your faith and making
it your own. For instance, you may
discover that you prefer a more contemporary-style Mass than your family
usually attends, or that you are interested
in certain social-justice issues.
You might also consider becoming
involved in the parish life as a eucharistic
minister, a member of the choir
or the youth group or a teacher of religious
education. You may find that
some of these experiences stick with
you and others don't. The important
thing, though, is to explore your faith
and make it your own.
If there's one thing kids are good at,
it's asking questions. And no matter
what adults sometimes tell you, that's
a good thing! That's how you grow
and learn things. So put your questioning
skills to the test.
Is there someone you would like
to know more about, such as a grandparent,
relative or family friend? My
kids love to ask their grandpa questions
about his Army service during the
Korean War. Ask that person if they
would sit down and talk with you. It can be either about their faith life or about their life
in general. Then come up with a list of questions you have and start asking. You might
discover something new and interesting that you didn't know before.
Do you have ideas or suggestions for topics you'd like
to see addressed in this column? If so, send them to me at Faith-filled Family, 28
W. Liberty Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202-6498, or e-mail them to email@example.com.

Out of his extended experience in the Henry Phipps Psychiatric Clinic, the author has developed a new work on psycho-biology and psychiatry which introduces several new features. The work follows essentially the methods of teaching used at the Johns Hopkins Medical School. After a historical introduction, several chapters are devoted to the student's personality study. Thus the student begins the course by making a personal study of himself which he endeavors to make as objective as possible. Thereafter comes a consideration of abnormal behavior according to the usual classifications, with a third part of the book devoted to treatment and the fourth part to a historical bibliography. The work is especially attractive because of the excellent case reports, which graphically demonstrate to the student the nature of psychologic disturbances. Available also are diagrammatic analyses in the form of life charts of many of the patients. Modern psychiatry is in a

Awww, Amr Diab posts precious pics of his kids
We aren't complaining 'cause those kids are cute, but Amr Diab has definitely performed a celebrity "no-no" by posting pics of his adorable children on Facebook and Twitter.
A photo of Amr and his only son Abdullah was the icebreaker for the star, and shortly after posting the photo he launched a second of him and his two daughters Kinza and Jenna.
The superstar isn't always looked at as a family man, but he certainly does have kids that make fans go cray cray. They were in frenzy over the precious pics. They certainly weren't upset that he broke the code of over protecting his children. They took it as an honor that he wanted to be more intimate with his fans (not an easy task when you've more than 6 million of them!).
Fans only had positive things to say about his cute, cute kids.

Here are a couple reasons you should establish an Emergency fund!
#1. Health!
What the heck does this have to do with health? haha
Well it is proven that worrying about having enough money at the end of the day is one of the biggest things that causes stress in someones life! Stress leads to smoking, drinking or eating a ton!
Less Stress = Better Health!
#2. You wont go into debt
When ever something unexpected happens it seems like the only way to pay for it is a credit card or borrowing it from someone! You don't want to have to accumulate more debt because of an emergency!
…So how do you get one if you don't have any money?
Well I suggest you budget away 10% of your earnings till you get about 3-6 months of expenses… I think you should start with $1,000 like the video below suggests as well!
…Go sell some stuff that you don't need if you don't have the 1k yet.
Just get your Emergency Fund started so you have peace of mind!
This is a great video about establishing an Emergency Fund!

Evotec and UCB continue hunt for immunology targets
Hamburg/Brussels - Evotec AG and UCB Pharma seem to be satisfied with their relationship. The Belgian pharmaceutical company entered into a second multi-year, multi-target integrated drug discovery collaboration with Evotec in the field of immunology. This was announced by Evotec on Wednesday. As part of the collaboration, Evotec will apply their integrated drug discovery expertise and technologies to identify interesting small molecules against a selected number of targets. The molecules will be further optimised and progressed through lead optimisation to a pre-clinical candidate. "Evotec is the ideal partner to provide the resource bandwidth and drug-hunting expertise to complement our internal efforts to progress this strategically important programme", commented Smail Kola, UCB NewMedicines' president. Besides a basic fee, Evotec will receive payments for early stage discovery, preclinical and clinical milestones.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Getting the Nutrition You Need
Help for managing underweight or poor nutrition
People who are underweight or frail have low reserves for bouncing back after an illness or injury. In the later years, this can lead to permanent ill health or disability. If you have trouble keeping your weight up, it's critical that you take special measures to build your weight, energy, and resilience. Every day, follow your doctor's recommendations and:
- Eat three meals plus three snacks, and never miss a meal.
- Choose higher-calorie foods from each food group, such as whole milk instead of skim milk. But try to keep your overall saturated fat intake low-high cholesterol can affect anyone.
- Eat the highest-calorie foods in a meal first.
- Use liquid supplements, such as Ensure or Boost, between meals.
If you are having trouble getting the food you need because of transportation, financial, or health problems, ask your doctor about local meal programs. Most communities have Meals on Wheels programs that can deliver food to your door. And there are meals at churches and community centers that can nourish your needs for both food and social time.

Discussion in 'Star Trek Movies XI+' started by Agent Richard07, Apr 18, 2013.
Ah, sorry. I've been dipping in and out of this thread for days - I've obviously missed a chunk...
I saw it again... and I loved it just as much! A wonderful movie. Probably the best Trek of them all.
My one issue last time was that Spock blamed Khan for Kirk's sacrifice, it made no sense to me. Why would Spock yell "Khaaaan!" and go berserker when it was Admiral Marcus' attack that crippled the Enterprise, damaging the warp core and sending them spiralling down to Earth? On my first viewing I'd somehow missed that Khan attacked the defenceless Enterprise after beaming up the missiles and beaming Kirk, Scotty and Carol to the brig. THAT is what damaged the core and what sent Enterprise falling. Now Spock's "Khaaaaan!" and murderous revenge rage made sense.
I suspect in years to come, this will be known as "the one with all the crying" - Kirk cries, like, four times. Pike cries as he's dying, Khan cries in the brig, Uhura cries, Scotty's eyes tear up and even Spock cries. It was very emotional. Even on my second viewing I got a major lump in my throat on several occasions.
There is so much nerdy stuff I can't wait to pour over in October/November when the DVD comes out. I saw Franz Joseph-style Enterprise floorplans on consoles, noticed some new aliens (including another Orion crewperson) and a ton more.
I loved this movie!!
It was a sub-space shockwave, so really it could be anywhere.
My thoughts are that it is probably suppose to be Praxis we are seeing. Nero's incursion, on 75,000 km from the Klingon border, caused them to begin an unprecedented military build-up and caused the Praxis disaster earlier in this timeline.
The old fogey trekkies should be forced to read that review.
People have talked about it, its possible that it could be Praxis but it hasn't exploded yet. That's just the result of mining operations which have gotten out of control, don't forget the Klingons could be even more affected by Nero considering the Narada supposedly destroyed an entire Klingon fleet effortlessly.
I guess, not that it really helps though. It just makes it even more implausible that the Excelsior would be in the exact path of a shockwave that couldn't have been more than a few miles high which originated from lightyears away. All the better is the fact that it snuck right up on them. It'd be like driving a car into a tree... in Antarctica.
Oh please... Nero's incursion as an excuse for everything? So Khan's appearance and heritage changed because of Nero's incursion?
Don't get me wrong, as much as ID is enjoyable as a popcorn flick (it surely is), please do not start with excuses for bad storytelling...
Who cares? That sequence looked awesome. Superb effects (models DO look better) and great editing. Don't start to think it through...
I had a science teacher who said you could point in any direction outside our solar system and your odds of ever hitting anything were something like one in 10 to the 33rd power (10^33).
It's incredible all of the things our crews have "randomly" ran into over the years. Best to just not think about it.
Oh don't get me wrong, I still enjoy that sequence a lot, along with the rest of the film. It really does underscore the fact that JJ-Trek isn't any more implausible than Old-Trek.
Trek fans have been making excuses for bad storytelling since the 1960's.
That doesn't make it right!
This popped up on Google for me. Despite the title and contents, it's not really *about* Star Trek, but rather it's this unbelievably bitter kneejerk diatribe about how "true geekdom is dead." He simply uses STID and JJ as a sort of focal point for his argument.
I won't ruin it for you guys, but honestly, it has to be seen to be believed. It's just DRIPPING with vitriol and pomposity.
Armond White has a new best friend.
We're not going to be able to convince them. They enjoy the new films and are willing to accept its new creator's vision of Star Trek characters, settings and technology.
So what?
It does make attempts to compare nuTrek unfavorably to oldTrek wrong on this score.
Frankly, someone could come along and produce an Oscar-winning Star Trek film that was internationally hailed as a masterpiece and knocked Avatar off to become the most successful film in history...and some trek fans would call it "an okay film but bad Star Trek" because it was different and didn't respect "canon."
(Okay, that's obviously a hypothetical - I don't think anyone could produce an Oscar-caliber Trek movie.)
Well, technically ST09 did win an Oscar.
Ok I've read both the reviews earlier in the thread. The negative one was far too negative Ok I've read both the reviews earlier in the thread. The negative one was far too negative but did make some valid points. The positive one skates over the flaws and enjoyed it for what it was. I'm somewhere in the middle. I enjoyed the movie but, like Trek 2009, it could have been improved considerably in my eyes if they had tweaked some of the sillier moments to have more internal logic.
The main things I agree with are:
"The Klingon homeworld Qo'noS apparently has no sensor defense system. A top secret shipyard building a next generation warship is completely and totally unguarded.
Khan is able to beam himself from Earth to Qo'noS using a personal hyperwarp transporter device. The fact that such a device exists calls into question the need for space ships at all. The device can be carried in your hands, and it can beam you sixteen light years without a problem. The film actually abuses the hell out of the transporter; there's a reason why the transporter is generally limited in the Star Trek universe*.
A bigger problem moving forward, though, is this: death has been cured at the end of this film. Khan's blood can revive the deceased.
The good news is that the cast remains the strongest part of the new Star Trek franchise, and they're probably locked in for another movie."
It's also worth noting that Earth doesn't seem to have any functional defences or active security forces. Marcus could have used the Pre-fix code.
Plus, I'm still not sure I understand what was going on with the bodies in the bombs or why Marcus needed Khan at all. Khan would have been far more interesting if he'd recruited some other mercenaries to commit terrorist acts against the Klingon Empire and the focus became tracking him down (similar to the Enterprise episode with the augments) leading eventually to the Klingon homeworld.
I think I'm holding NuTrek up to the same standards as old Trek but old Trek certainly had its fair share of ludicrous moments. I did have an issue with how silly it was to promote Kirk the jerk so quickly and for no obvious reason other than he got lucky and, you know what, they owned up to it and put a well-received scene in this movie to redress the stupidity of that decision. If the old guard had not pointed out that the emperor had no clothes they might have missed an excellent opportunity to develop the character into something more rounded.
My issue with the Trek tech is that they have opened up a can of worms and they can't really go back so they have to overlook obvious solutions to the problems they create like basic security protocols that we have in the 21st century such as ID to get on board a top secret base, sensors to detect unknown transports, automated alarms, CCTV, automated security systems to block off the ship by sealing doors, cancelling gravity, raising internal force fields etc, or if you are a villain, why be coy, beam intruders back out into space by scanning the area into which they've just beamed (they can beam 72 missiles but not 2 intruders?).
What ever happened to that Kelvan engine mod that could do warp 300, anyway?
And why didn't the Federation figure out how to use those Omicron Ceti spores to cure all disease and injury?
Or all the Cytherian information that was set to change everything for the Federation forever midway through TNG, which they seemed to forget a week later.
These people won't listen. They have what they believe, refuse to listen to anything that goes against it, and fight back using ad hominem attacks on anybody who says otherwise.
Par for the course here.
Separate names with a comma.

The Doll Brings Down the House
By BEN BRANTLEY
Published: April 3, 1997
It just doesn't happen that often, and when it does, you sit there, open-mouthed, grateful, admiring and shaken, and think, ''This is why I love the theater.''
It's the response that comes when a dramatic performance is so completely and richly realized that you find yourself truly living through the character portrayed onstage, even when you want to pull back to a comfortable spectator's distance. The pulse quickens, the eyes well. And there is somehow the sense that ordinary life has been heightened to the bursting point.
The occasion for this revelation is the new production of Ibsen's ''Doll's House,'' a London import that opened last night at the Belasco Theater. The name of the revelation is Janet McTeer, an actress, little known in America, whose apparition on Broadway suggests the theater's timely answer to the Hale-Bopp comet.
What Ms. McTeer achieves, with the magnificent support of the director Anthony Page and a flawless supporting cast, is the sense that the landmark, century-old role of Ibsen's Nora Helmer, the childlike housewife who comes so painfully of age, was only just written, and written specifically for her. You may think you know ''A Doll's House'' inside out. This production is guaranteed to prove you wrong.
The 1879 classic, with its iconoclastic portrayal of a woman who leaves her marriage to find herself, assumed an instant, thundering social significance and that has clouded perceptions of the play. There was a theory, starting with George Bernard Shaw, that the drama's greatness was more historical than artistic, and that, like most things searingly topical, it was destined to become a fossil.
Still, the play has never left the international repertory, with great actresses repeatedly drawn to Nora like the proverbial moths to the flame. Very often, they have indeed been burned, provoking criticism that Nora's conversion from domestic plaything to proto-feminist requires radical jumps in psychological continuity, accompanied by the creaking of a mechanical, agenda-driven plot.
Not a single creak is heard in Mr. Page's production, Ms. McTeer's performance or Frank McGuinness's wonderfully loose-limbed adaptation. They never impose on Ibsen's text but instead mine it for an emotional consistency and logic that is very definitely there. And marvel of marvels, the most stirring part of this interpretation comes in its last 20 minutes, when Nora speaks the lines that, out of context, have become feminist rallying cries.
Ms. McTeer's Nora, confronting her husband, Torvald (the masterly Owen Teale), with the failure of their marriage, is no coolly articulate visionary, for whom a light has suddenly been turned on after a lifetime of benightedness. She is still fumbling in the dark, still struggling to find words to match her growing belief that something is very, very wrong. She seems surprised, in fact, by her own perceptions, as if they were only just taking form in her consciousness.
The entire evening builds carefully to this moment in ways you are aware of only after you've arrived there.
From the outset, Ms. McTeer's performance has suggested a struggle between willful self-delusion and a subterranean uneasiness that Nora reflexively works to suppress. She's a hard-working actress who doesn't even know she's playing a part or how tired she has grown of it.
Ms. McTeer starts off with a mannered intensity some audience members may at first find grating. There's a glow of fever about Nora as she busily trims her comfortably appointed living room for Christmas. The laughter with which she punctuates her speech has a loonlike quality; she tries on different, silly voices like an eager-to-please comedian; she flaps her wrists in a way that dismisses what she's saying even as she calls attention to it.
It is a brave, risky conception that even comes across as grotesque at moments, a feeling underscored by the fact that Ms. McTeer is no doll-size ingenue but a woman of towering height and erotic presence. (She compliantly bends her knees for her long, frequent kisses with Torvald.) She's a fluttery geisha in overdrive, on call to entertain and make merry whenever her husband chooses to appear from his invincible fortress of a study.
What cannot be doubted is that Nora behaves like this out of love for the man she married. It's the same impulse that drove her to commit the criminal act -- the forging of her father's signature when she needed to borrow money to take her ailing husband to Italy -- that provides the play with its plot. And this production ingeniously melds Nora's apprehension about being exposed by the embittered money lender Nils Krogstad (Peter Gowen) with the encroaching awareness that her love for Torvald, the center of her existence, is built on sand.
There are moments throughout, especially in Nora's scenes with her childhood friend Kristine Linde (Jan Maxwell) and her cynical admirer, Dr. Rank (John Carlisle), when shafts of light break into the doll's house, a sense of how hard and unfair the world can be and of the imbalance in the Helmers' marriage.

That game sucked and made the series quite somber even though the Hornets got the win. I used to have a Sports card shop at a flea mall and guys were wanting Reggie Lewis bball cards bc they thought they would be more valuable bc he died...it was sickening since I loved Reggie Lewis. I refused to sell them for a few days. I used to record most every Hornet game and key matchups on TNT...i had about 40-50 vhs tapes of Basketball games. When I moved into my house 4 years ago I found all these VHS tapes and watched hours of Anfernee Hardaway destroying people in Hawaii...UNLV vs Todd Day and Arkansas....Grant Hill owning Glen Robinson in the NCAA tourney...the Hornets series...a bunch or old Golden State with Tim Hardaway at his most explosive...I was BBall obsessed. Those games show how night and day college BBall was when you could identify each school by their players for at least three years. Most satisfying game was Kansas vs UNC where Rick Fox missed open layups(point shaving?!) and let a hairy armpit Mark Randall, Adonis Jordan and Rex Walters beat that mega-team in the final 4. I actually thought UNC was the better team to match up with UNLV....nope it was DUKE taking care of the goliaths. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

- From: news.com.au
- November 22, 2012
- Click Frenzy failed. But so did many other things
- Including: James Magnussen, The Shire, Angel
- Did we miss anything? Let us know
CLICK Frenzy's online sale bonanza failed miserably. As it soon came to be known, #clickfail was an unqualified disaster.
Which got us thinking. There've been some swings and spectacular misses in 2012. Here are 12 fails that cracked the internet (like an egg, which we just dropped on the kitchen floor at news.com.au HQ).
1. Your attempts to get away from Gangnam Style
2. Melissa George's attempts at patriotism
3. James Magnussen's attempts at humility
4. James Magnussen
5. The Shire
6. Kony: Cover The Night
7. Bath salt zombies
8. Mitt Romney's campaign mantra
9. Apple Maps
10. Angelina Jolie's right leg
I'm no fashion expert, but this dress was a bizarre choice for the Oscars. It was, however, an excellent choice for every meme creator around the world. Dress: failure. Meme: success.
11. General Petraeus's affair
1) Not only use a shared GMAIL account to communicate via the draft folder with his lover; but
2) Send a confessional of said affair from that gmail account.
We're not for affairs here but good god, man, lock it up.
12. Daniel Craig's sense of humour

Julius von Haast
|Julius von Haast
1 May 1822
|16 August 1887(aged 65)
|Known for
|Canterbury Museum
|Antonia Schmitt, Mary Dobson
Sir Johann Franz "Julius" von Haast KCMG (1 May 1822 – 16 August 1887) was a German geologist. He founded Canterbury Museum at Christchurch, New Zealand.
Early life[edit]
Johann Franz Julius Haast was born on 1 May 1822 in Bonn, a town in the Kingdom of Prussia, to a merchant and his wife. As a child, he attended a local school but was also educated at a grammar school in Cologne. After completing his formal schooling, he then entered the University of Bonn, where he studied geology and mineralogy.[1] However, he did not graduate.[2] As a young man, he travelled throughout Europe before basing himself in Frankfurt, working in the trading of books[1] and mineral samples collected on his journeys. On 26 October 1846, Haast married Antonia Schmitt at Frankfurt, Germany.[1] The marriage, although unhappy, produced a son named Robert two years later.[3]
Haast was fluent in English and, in 1858, was contracted by a British shipping firm, A. Willis, Gann & Company, to report on the suitability of New Zealand for German emigrants. He travelled to London and in September of that year embarked abroad the Evening Star, destined for New Zealand.[3] He arrived in Auckland on 21 December 1858[1] and, the following day, met the Austrian Ferdinand von Hochstetter at the home of a German emigrant.[4] Hochstetter, on a scientific cruise aboard the ship Novara, had been invited by the Governor of New Zealand, Thomas Gore Browne, to provide advice on a recent find of a coal field south of Auckland, in Drury.[5] Haast discovered the two men had a shared interest in geology and they quickly became friends.[4]
Exploring New Zealand[edit]
Haast accompanied Hochstetter on his journey to Drury a few days later and also present on the trip were several of Hochstetter's fellow scientists as well as the explorer and surveyor Charles Heaphy. Haast assisted Hochstetter in his investigations of the coal field[6] before the party pushed further south, interacting with local Māori and journeying along part of the Waikato River before returning to Auckland in early January 1859.[7]
Hochstetter's report on the Drury coal field was well received and he was formally asked to conduct geological surveys of New Zealand. His work with the Novara expedition largely complete, he agreed to stay on in new Zealand for several months although his salary would be paid by the Austrian government.[8] Over the next few weeks, Haast accompanied Hochstetter on geological expeditions of the area around Auckland. Hochstetter then turned his attention south, towards the Waikato province, and requested Haast join him.[9] The Waikato, apart from a few roads and trails, was largely unknown and the expedition, which left Auckland on 7 March 1859, had to make its own maps as they journeyed south. In three months, they travelled as far as Lake Taupo and also went as far west as Kāwhia Harbour and as east as Maketu, in the Bay of Plenty.[10] Arriving back in Auckland on 24 May 1859, the party, which included a photographer, had covered 1000 kilometres. Numerous samples had been taken and sketches and photographs taken on the journey added to the scientific knowledge of the area.[11]
The next month, Hochstetter and Haast departed for the Coromandel, to investigate the gold fields there.[12] Then, in late July, the two then sailed south for the settlement of Nelson,[13] Hochstetter accepting an invitation from the Nelson Provincial Council to inspect the mineral deposits, which were believed to include gold, coal and copper, in the region.[14] During his time in Nelson, while Hochstetter was carrying out his own fieldwork, Haast conducted several digs for moa bones and extracted several near-complete skeletons of the long extinct bird. He was also tasked by Hochstetter with carrying out independent fieldwork in Golden Bay[15] and investigating the mineral deposits to the east of Nelson. At Shakespeare Bay, near what is now Picton, he correctly predicted gold could be found based on his inspection of the rocks in the area.[16]
Haast returned to Nelson on 24 September September and met up with Hochstetter, whose time in New Zealand was drawing to a close. The pair delivered a public lecture on their geological findings, and their conclusion that the minerals in the area would contribute significantly to the wealth of the region was well received by the interested citizens of Nelson.[17] There was one final expedition, to investigate a newly discovered coal field in Golden Bay, at the end of September, before Hochstetter sailed for Sydney on 2 October.[18]
Following Hochstetter's departure from New Zealand, Haast was requested by the Nelson Provincial Council to build on the geological work already completed. In particular, he was to focus on identifying valuable minerals in the ranges between Nelson and the Grey River, scout out travelling routes to Westland, and complete a topographical map of the area. He started his work in January 1860, and it would take eight months before it was completed. His report to the Nelson Provincial Council was published in 1861 and of note were his discoveries of coal near what is now the town of Westport. He also found that the coal seams discovered by Thomas Brunner in 1848 were of a higher quality than first thought. He also found gold in several rivers and reported on his botanical and zoological findings.[19]
Life in Canterbury[edit]
Afterwards, at the request of the superintendent of Canterbury, William Moorhouse, Haast investigated the mountain range between Lyttelton and Canterbury. A rail tunnel was proposed through the mountain to link Lyttelton and Canterbury but engineers had encountered particular tough basaltic rocks which jeopardised the proposed route.[19] As a result of Haast's work, the rail link was able to proceed. He became provincial geologist to Canterbury, a post which he held from 1861 to 1868.[20]
His work in this capacity saw Haast conducting numerous expeditions throughout Canterbury and Westland, making geological discoveries and topographical maps of the area.[20] Late in 1861, he discovered a coal seam in Kowai and the following year searched for gold in the area around Mount Cook. He identified that the Mackenzie plains were once the bed of a major glacier and, as well as his geological observations, he collected numerous botanical specimens. He discovered and named many of the glaciers of the central South Island,[21] including the Franz Joseph Glacier, in honour of the Emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph.[1] He was the first person to study the bones of the extinct Haast's eagle.[22]
In 1870, Haast was appointed the curator of Canterbury Museum. The specimens that he collected on his expeditions of earlier years were a key part of the early holdings of the museum. Following the establishment of the Canterbury University College, he lectured in geology from 1873, and was made professor in 1876.[23]
His Geology of the Provinces of Canterbury and Westland, N.Z., was published in 1879. He was elected fellow of the Royal Society in 1867, and was given a hereditary knighthood by the Emperor of Austria in 1875. He was awarded the Royal Geographical Society's Patron's Gold Medal in 1884 for his explorations in New Zealand.[24]
Later life and legacy[edit]
Haast travelled to England in 1886, as New Zealand's commissioner to the Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London. While there, he was made Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George for his services.[25][26] He had previously been made a Companion of the same order three years previously.[1][27]
Haast died on 16 August 1887, following his return to Christchurch. He is buried in the grounds of Holy Trinity Church in Stanmore Road, Christchurch. He was survived by his second wife, Mary Dobson, daughter of the Canterbury Provincial Engineer Edward Dobson, and the couple's five children.
Several places in New Zealand are named for Haast, including Haast Pass, the Haast River and the town of Haast. The schist found in New Zealand is called the "Haast Schist" as a tribute to his contributions to geology.

How do you rebuild New York's coastline after a hurricane? Show visitors what's still there. Last October, Hurricane Sandy pummeled New York City's 14 miles of coastline, washing away the sand and destroying the boardwalks. Seven months later, the beaches were mended enough to be reopened for Memorial Day, but many of the boardwalk repairs would have to wait. In response, Pentagram's Paula Scher was tasked with a unique challenge: Get people to the beach without any massive structures to guide them there. Her team's response was to create a series of signs

Annual Scout banquet includes a salute to great minds
By Jackie Newman
Special to the Light
"American Inventors" was the theme of Cub Scout Pack 4's annual Blue and Gold Dinner on Feb. 1 at La Jolla Presbyterian Church's Fellowship Hall. About 200 scouts and their families attended. The highlights included the Webelos bridging ceremony where scouts actually crossed a bridge to be welcomed by two different troops — Troop 506 from La Jolla Methodist and Troop 4 at La Jolla Presbyterian Church.
Some of the inventors spotlighted through the evening included Pete Balsells (grandfather of Christophe Naviaux, holder of 70 U.S. patents), Thomas Edison, Joshua Cowan (founder of Lionel trains) and all the Webelos as "Future American Inventors." At the event, scouts got the news that Fritz Ortleib will take over from Jacques Naviaux II as Cub Master of Pack 4.

One way to provide valuable information to potential clients -- as well as establish your business an authority in your field -- is to start and manage a Facebook group that focuses on your topic of choice. Facebook groups are simple to set up, but it's what you do with the group as you go along that can make it successful or a flop. By offering engaging information on a time schedule that your group members can rely on, you'll begin to build a base of followers that may eventually turn into new business for your company. Once you've set up the group, you'll find that many of the functions are similar to what you can do within your own personal Facebook Timeline, including creating status updates and polls.
Step 1
Create the group by clicking "Add Group" in the Groups section of your Facebook Home page and clicking "Create New Group." Follow the prompts to name the group and add the names of friends you want to add to the group. You'll also be able to choose whether the group is "Open," so that anyone can see the group's updates and join the group; "Closed," so that all people can see the group name, but only members can see the group's updates; or "Secret," so that no one can see any information about the group unless they're added by a member of the group.
Step 2
Navigate to the group's page by clicking on its name in the Groups section of your Home page.
Step 3
Invite people to join your group by clicking the "+ Add People to Group" button. Then type the names of friends you want to add to the group. You can only invite people who are on your friends list on Facebook, and they can invite their friends to the group.
Step 4
Enter updates for the group by navigating to the group page and then typing a message into the "Write Something" box. This can be an announcement about the group or any type of information you want to share. Group members will receive a notification that you've posted something and have the opportunity to comment.
Step 5
Create a poll for the group by clicking "Ask Question" near the top of the group page and then enter the question and possible answers when prompted. The group members can select their response from the choices given, and the results will post on the group page.
Step 6
Consider including regular features for your group, such as a Friday feature asking people to weigh in on their favorite weekend activity or a Monday feature asking people to discuss the most challenging thing they'll tackle at work that week. When a group member comments on posts or questions, respond in a timely manner, so that group members know the group is closely monitored.
- Join a few groups that are involved in a similar business to get ideas for your own group and to keep abreast of what the competition is doing.

Ternopil (Ukrainian: Тернопіль, translit. Ternopil', Polish: Tarnopol, Russian: Тернополь, translit. Ternopol'), is a city in western Ukraine, located on the banks of the Seret River. Ternopil is one of the major cities of Eastern Galicia. It is located approximately 132 kilometres (82 mi) east of Lviv, at around . It is served by Ternopil Airport.
In 2004, the population was 221,300.
Administrative status
The city is the administrative center of the Ternopil Oblast (province), as well of the surrounding Ternopil Raion (district) within the oblast. However, Ternopil is a city of oblast subordinance, thus being subject directly to the oblast authorities rather to the raion administration housed in the city itself.
The city was founded in 1540 by Jan Amor Tarnowski as a Polish military stronghold and a castle. In 1544 the Ternopil Castle was constructed and repelled its first Tatar attacks. In 1548 Ternopil was granted city rights by king Sigismund I of Poland. In 1567 the city passed to the Ostrogski family. In 1575 it was plundered by Tatars. In 1623 the city passed to the Zamoyski family.
In the 17th century the town was almost wiped from the map in the Khmelnytsky Uprising which drove out or killed most of its Jewish residents. Ternopil was almost completely destroyed by Turks and Tatars in 1675 and rebuilt by Aleksander Koniecpolski but did not recover its previous glory until it passed to Marie Casimire, the wife of king Jan III Sobieski in 1690. The city was later sacked for the last time by Tatars in 1694, and twice by Russians in the course of the Great Northern War in 1710 and the War of the Polish Succession in 1733. In 1747 Józef Potocki invited the Dominicanes and founded the beautiful late baroque Dominican Church (today the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of The Blessed Virgin Mary of the Ternopil-Zboriv eparchy of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church). The city was thrice looted during the confederation of Bar (1768–1772), by the confederates themselves, by the kings army and by Russians. In 1770 it was further devastated by an outbreak of smallpox.
In 1772 the city came under Austrian rule after the First Partition of Poland. At the beginning of the 19th century the local population put great hopes into Napoleon Bonaparte, in 1809 the city came under Russian rule, which created to Ternopol krai there. In 1815 the city (then with 11,000 residents) returned to Austrian rule in accordance with the Congress of Vienna. In 1820 Jesuits expelled from Polatsk by Russians established a gymnasium in the town. In 1870 a rail line connected Tarnopol with Lviv, accelerating the city's growth. At that time Ternopil had a population of about 25,000.
During World War I the city passed from German and Austrian forces to Russia several times. In 1917 it was burnt down by fleeing Russian forces. After the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire the city was proclaimed part of the West Ukrainian People's Republic on 11 November 1918. During the Polish-Ukrainian War it was the country's capital from 22 November to 30 December after Lviv was captured by Polish forces. After the act of union between Western-Ukrainian Republic and the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR), Ternopil formally passed under the UPR's control. On 15 July 1919 the city was captured by Polish forces. In 1920 the exiled Ukrainian government of Symon Petlura accepted the Polish control of Ternopil and of the entire area in exchange for the Polish assistance in restoration of Petlura's government in Kyiv. This effort ultimately failed, and in July and August 1920 Ternopil was captured by the Red Army in the course of the Polish-Soviet War and served as the capital of the Galician Soviet Socialist Republic. By the terms of the Riga treaty that ended the Polish-Soviet war, the Soviet Russia recognized the Polish control of the area.
From 1922 to September 1939, it was the capital of the Tarnopol Voivodeship that consisted of 17 powiats. The policies of the Polish authorities, especially the assimilationist ethnic policies, affected all spheres of public life. Ukrainians, who according to the 1939 Statistical Yearbook of Poland, made less than half of voivodship's population, were restricted in their rights and were prosecuted for any attempts to oppose the Polonization. This created a strong backlash and strengthened the position of the militant Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists whose local Ternopil branch was led by Roman Paladiychuk and Taras Stetsko, the future leader of OUN,
In 1939 it was a city of 40,000; 50% of the population was Polish, 40% Jewish and 10% Ukrainian.
During the Polish Defensive War it was annexed by the Soviet Union and attached to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The Soviets continued the campaign against the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists aided by the information given to them by the former Polish authorities. The Soviets also carried the mass deportations of the Polish part of the population to Kazakhstan. In 1941 the city was occupied by the Germans who continued exterminating the population by murdering the Jews and sending others to forced labour in Germany. In April 1944 the city was retaken by the Red Army, the remaining Polish population has been previously expelled. During the soviet reoccupation in march and April 1944 the city was encircled and completely destroyed. In march 1944 the city has been declared a fortified place by Adolf Hitler, to defend until the last round was shot. The stiff German resistance caused extensive use of heavy artillery by the Red Army, resulting in the complete destruction of the city and killing of nearly all German defenders. (55 survivors out of 4,500) Unlike many other occasions, where the Germans had practised a scorched earth policy during their withdraw from the territory of soviet union, the devastation was caused directly by the hostilities. After the war Ternopil has been rebuilt in a typically soviet style. Only a few buildings have been reconstructed.
Since 1991 Ternopil is a part of independent Ukraine and along with other cities of Western Ukraine. Ternopil has became an important center of Ukrainian national revival.
Jewish Ternopil
Polish Jews settled in Ternopil beginning at its founding and soon formed a majority of the population. During the 16th and 17th centuries there were 300 Jewish families in the city. The Great Synagogue of Ternopil was built in Gothic Survival style between 1622 and 1628.[4] Among the towns destroyed by Bohdan Khmelnytsky during his march of devastation from Zolochiv through Galicia was Tarnopol, the large Jewish population of which carried on an extensive trade. Shortly afterward, however, when the Cossacks had been subdued by John III of Poland, the town began to prosper anew, and its Jewish population exceeded all previous figures. It may be noted that Hasidism at this time dominated the community, which opposed any introduction of Western culture. During the troubled times in the latter part of the eighteenth century the city was stormed (1770) by the adherents of the Confederacy of Bar, who massacred many of its inhabitants, especially the Jews.
After the second partition of Poland, Ternopil came under Austrian domination and Joseph Perl was able to continue his efforts to improve the condition of the Jews there, which he had begun under Russian rule. In 1813 he established a Jewish school which had for its chief object the instruction of Jewish youth in German as well as in Hebrew and various other branches. Controversy between the traditional Hasidim and the modernising Maskilim which this school caused resulted four years later in a victory for the latter, whereupon the institution received official recognition and was placed under communal control. Since 1863 the school policy was gradually modified by Polish influences, and very little attention was given to instruction in German. The Tempel für Geregelten Gottesdienst, opened by Perl in 1819, also caused dissensions within the community, and its rabbi, S. J. Rapoport, was forced to withdraw. This dispute also was eventually settled in favour of the Maskilim. As of 1905, the Jewish community numbered 14,000 in a total population of 30,415. The Jews were engaged principally in an active import and export trade with Russia through the border city of Podwoloczyska.
In 1941, 500 Jews were murdered on the grounds of Ternopil's Christian cemetery by local inhabitants using weapons borrowed from a German army camp. According to interviews conducted by a Roman Catholic priest, Father Patrick Desbois, some of the bodies were decapitated. One woman described how her mother would "finish off" wounded Jews with a shovel blow to the head before burying them.
Jewish history exhibit
In 2005, "Anne Frank: A Lesson from History" was mounted in Ternopil. This event, organized in part by the Jewish community of Ternopil, opened in collaboration with the Ukrainian Centre for Holocaust Studies and the Anne Frank Museum in Holland.

Free and Reduced Lunch
Application Form
Pre Payment Questions
Instructions for applying for Free & Reduced Lunch
Commonly Asked Questions about Free and Reduced Lunch
Dear Shawsheen Tech Parents/Guardians:
The purpose of this letter is threefold. First, to let you know of the new eligibility guidelines for students to be eligible to receive free and reduced breakfast and lunch. Many students are eligible due to changing income standards, and we have undertaken significant efforts to ensure those who do qualify remain confidential. Second, to explain the advantages of enrolling your child in a prepayment program ensuring funds intended for meals are spent on meals. And third, to describe our cafeteria computerized system that requires each student to provide a preassigned Personal Identification Number (PIN) to cafeteria employees prior to acquiring their nutritious meals. We can use this information with parents to ensure students are receiving the nutrition they need to be successful.
All parents are asked to fill out the enclosed Free and Reduced Breakfast and Lunch Application (yellow form) and return it to the Business Office by Friday, September 9, 2011 in the attached envelope. This form should be completed whether or not you think you are eligible for the free and reduced breakfast and lunch program. If your child qualifies for free or reduced lunch, they will also qualify for our free and reduced breakfast program. Information on these forms will be confidential and are needed for two purposes: first to determine eligibility for free and reduced lunch and second, as a basis to determine the amount of state and federal education aid our school district receives. Therefore, filling out these forms and returning them in a timely manner has a significant impact on all of the programs offered at Shawsheen Tech. Your cooperation is respectfully requested.
We have implemented this system to help parents provide proper nutrition for their children. Parents who prepay for meals (cost of lunch is $2.50) will know that every dollar deposited into their private accounts will buy healthy food and snacks - eliminating the concern that students might spend their lunch money less wisely outside of school. In addition, the computerized system provides a record of all purchases charged to the prepayment account. (We will share this information upon parental request.)
Prepayment eliminates time-consuming cash-and-change transactions. The procedure is simple. Each student enters his or her PIN number located on each student's schedule using a PIN pad at the cafeteria register. The price of the lunch or snack is quickly deducted from the account balance, and the student moves quickly out of line. To ensure confidentiality, students who qualify for free/reduced breakfast and lunch also enter their PIN number at the register and, like all other students, proceed without delay through the food line.
The Shawsheen administration, faculty, and staff look forward to developing sound minds within nutritionally sound bodies this year. Your cooperation with completing and returning the attachments is very much appreciated.

What happens when you feed wine to a world-class motion designer like Adam Patch? Simultaneously, what happens when you want to avoid the super-long trend in book trailers?
An 8-second book trailer for The 4-Hour Chef, of course.
If you think the above looks familiar, you're right. It was converted from ridiculous to Avengers-like with post-production movie magic. The original clip was abandoned footage from The 4-Hour Body trailer. It's embarrassing just watching it!
Think you can create a better soundtrack to the top trailer?

Presiding over a triumphant spectacle of warships and fighter jets, President Vladimir Putin hailed the return of Crimea to Russia as the restoration of "historic justice" before a jubilant, welcoming crowd Friday on the holiday that Russians hold dearest.
Putin's two Victory Day celebrations, which included a massive show of military muscle in the annual Red Square parade in Moscow and then the extravaganza in Sevastopol, rubbed salt in the wounds of the interim government in Kiev.

This past weekend, the parking lot below Rooker hall was used by a group of people from four different states as a training arena for an unusual class.
NRCC offers a 3 day Motorcycle Sidecar/Trike Safety Class that is only offered in four other states, it is so rare that it enticed people to travel from Mariatta GA, Huntsville NC, Cleveland OH, Manassas VA, as well as Roanoke, Newport, Hillsville and Floyd.
The class consists of a four hour classroom session on Friday night, followed by two full days of hands on training starting at 8 am on Saturday and Sunday.
The Instructors Dennis Phillips and Don Early teach special safety techniques for handling three wheeler motorcycles in a variety of situations and also how to avoid those situations if it is possible.
The different three wheel setups available today include Trikes, Bikes with Sidecars, and the new Bombadier Spyder with two front and one rear wheel. All three setups require specialized skills a lot different than your three or four-wheeler ATV's, as these vehicles all have the potential to run in the 100mph range or faster.
The new era of sidecars are a long way from the minimalistic styles from the 1960's when they were more popular than ever. Now they are more reminiscent of an aircraft cockpit and the motorcycles have anti-lock brakes, Electronic Stability Control, and many of the high end computer aided safety devices found on today's high performance sports cars.
The women outnumber the men 5 to 4 in this particular class, pointing out that these days, women enjoy the thrill of riding the open road just as much as the guys.
Every member of the class I spoke with gave the two Instructors, Don and Dennis, extremely high praise, for their relaxed teaching style and patience which made the long drive for some, definitely worth the effort.
You can see that everyone who attended this potentially lifesaving class had a great time. It's evident by the smiles on their faces right after completing two days of intensive instruction.
This weekend long class was a very smart investment for all who attended, the skills learned will help them make the right decision in that split second that really counts, and that can be a Life Saver.
