Initially enticing thanks to its low price tag and Q Branch-worthy complement of attachments, this bagless behemoth started out strong, removing pet hair from upholstery like an aardvark decimating a termite mound. But the Boss failed spectacularly once it hit the floor, spewing dust bunnies and dirt rather than picking them up. It also emitted enough hot air to warm our test apartment significantly.

text: The results from Monday are posted on the golf league web page. Since there was no lightning in the area, and the course was open for play, the match between Teams 3 and 6 was a go. With a little bit of rain every so often, and a wind gust here and there, and having to play an opponent all at the same time, made every shot count. After all the scores were tallied, and having all 4 players scoring double digit points and getting total team low net, Team 6 was able to defeat Team 3, 72-28. Congrats to Team 6. An Awards Banquet is scheduled for October 1st in room L102, located in Cebaf Center, starting at Noon.

|Peter Chiarelli: Defensemen like Dennis Seidenberg 'are hard to find'

|Peter Chiarelli: Extending Dennis Seidenberg 'pretty high' priority for Bruins
|10.02.13 at 2:38 pm ET
With defenseman Dennis Seidenberg entering the last season of his contract, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said Wednesday that getting a deal done to keep him in Boston is a high priority and that he's been in contact with agent J.P. Barry.
"It's pretty high," Chiarelli said when asked how he's prioritizing re-signing Seidenberg. "We've had discussions and we'll figure something out there."
The Bruins have often re-signed their players during the season (Rich Peverley, David Krejci, Shawn Thornton among others), and Chiarelli has often tried to get players' new deals done before they even enter the final season of their contract, as he did three years ago when he inked Zdeno Chara and Patrice Bergeron to new deals right before the start of the season.
Seidenberg, 32, is in the final year of a four-year, $13 million deal.

|Barry Pederson on D&C: Tuukka Rask 'making it look easy'
|06.18.13 at 11:33 am ET
NESN Bruins analyst Barry Pederson joined the Dennis & Callahan show Tuesday morning to talk about the Bruins' win in Game 3, the value of team defense and Tuukka Rask's technically sound play in goal.
Pederson said that the Bruins team defense has played consistently well throughout the playoffs and has been key in winning not only the physical battle but the mental battle.
'We have seen it whether it was Toronto, the Rangers, Chicago in here or Pittsburgh,' Pederson said. 'It is the fact that they're breaking the will of the opponent. It is so frustrating to go out there and every time you get the puck, [Zdeno] Chara is taking away your space, he is running you through the boards, you think you've got an open lane and you go to throw it across and all of a sudden [Dennis] Seidenberg is in there with his stick, with his feet. They just don't give you an inch.
'After a while it is almost like when you have a horse and you saddle-break him. Once his shoulders roll on you, you know you have the horse's spirit broken and you have a chance of breaking him and getting him saddle-broken. Here's the situation to me where you can see it on the ice where guys are going, 'OK, we are ready, Chicago. Here comes our energy.' And it's like, 'Oh, this just ain't happening.' They're just frustrating them.'
That strong team defense is a testament to Claude Julien sticking with his defensive system and having his players buy into it. It is also the result of general manager Peter Chiarelli bringing in players that fit Julien's system well and are willing to play hard on the defensive end every night.
Pederson said that one thing that makes Chiarelli successful is that he is willing to pay players for their contributions on the defensive end — not just the offensive end.
'What happens a lot of times is somebody says, 'OK, we want to play a certain style and we want to reward these guys for being successful, but yet they're playing team defense,' ' Pederson said. 'A lot of times throughout the season when things aren't going well it's like, 'We just don't have enough offense. We don't have those stars like [Evgeni] Malkin and [Sidney] Crosby who can generate a lot of goals.' But champions, as we know, are known for both sides of the puck. Not only the offense, but it's that great, smothering team defense and the structure and the layers they have defensively.
'It has been very important also for Peter Chiarelli to reward these players for not only their offense that they show us by being maybe a point-a-game guy, but they are capable on other teams of probably being 80- or 90-point seasons, but they're not. They are giving it up for the team and they are doing it the right way.'
Tuukka Rask was the beneficiary of the strong team defense in the Bruins' win in Game 3, as he was protected well in his 28-save shutout Monday. However, Pederson said he thinks Rask may not be getting the credit he deserves because he is making it look easier than it is.
'I think one of the things that we are getting ourselves maybe into a bad habit of, is because Tuukka is so sound technically and is so much in control of his emotions right now, he is making it look easy,' Pederson said. 'It's not as easy as it looks. He is just attacking the shooters correctly. When he goes down he is taking up space, his belly is not touching the ice, he is standing up straight with his chest, he is controlling his rebounds.
'A couple of times last night you could see the shifts were getting long and the Bruins needed a whistle. They are coming down the right side and they shoot the puck. He is able to control the rebound and throw it outside of the rink to get yourself a stop or a whistle. He has done a great job. He will be the first to tell you that his team in front of him is playing very well defensively, but I also think his teammates will tell you, 'Hey, listen, he is playing so well right now and he is so locked in, he is making it look easier than it actually is.' '
No more Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from these Bruins, at least not in the eyes of their coach.
After the Bruins dominated Game 3 in nearly every aspect, including a 40-16 edge on faceoffs, Claude Julien heaped praise on the effort level of his team after the 2-0 win that leaves them two victories shy of their second Stanley Cup in three years and seventh in franchise history.
"I think it's the energy in the game, the effort," Julien said. "You see our guys, like I said, they're backchecking, having layers, so when somebody makes a mistake, you have somebody covering up."
Even several stitches above the eye of Zdeno Chara wasn't going to keep the commitment level down for the Bruins. Chara said he "lost an edge" during pregame skate Monday night.
"All he did is he slipped, had a little gash over his eye," Julien said. "I haven't even seen it. Just by slipping, he got hit just above the eye. Nothing serious."
The Bruins blocked another 17 shots Monday — to seven for Chicago. Dennis Seidenberg had six by himself.
"We're blocking a lot of shots," Julien continued. "The commitment is totally there. Throughout a whole season, it's not easy to have that full commitment. But I think when you get to this stage, players start feeling it. They go above and beyond. That's what you're seeing from our team right now."
Julien famously lashed out at his team in the first-round series with Toronto, calling the B's a "Jekyll and Hyde" team when they blew a 3-1 series lead only to grab a dramatic Game 7 win to extend their playoff season.
But that certainly hasn't been the case since. After the Game 6 loss to the Leafs, the Bruins are 11-2 in these playoffs. And the penalty kill — another area of effort and execution — is a big reason why. With five more kills on Monday, the Bruins have killed off 27 straight penalties.
"It's our backcheck," Julien explained. "Our guys are understanding one thing: This is a team, when it attacks, it attacks with four, never three. They've got such great skaters back there on the fence that if we don't do what we're doing right now, we don't stand a chance. Our guys, like I've said, they've committed to that. They realize how important it is to come back. We're trying to support each other that way and trying to keep it as tight as possible."
As hard as the crew inside TD Garden tried Monday, the ice was hardly suitable for two of the best hockey teams in the world to do battle. But battle they did.
There were bouncing pucks all night. There were players like Brad Marchand losing control on what appeared to be a certain shorthanded breakaway. There were pucks jumping over defensemen's sticks as they tried to keep the puck in the offensive zone.
In short, this is what happens when you play on a humid 80-degree day in mid-June in Boston. The Garden is typically an ice-box in the winter because there is no in-house dehumidifier in the building. As they did in 2011, TD Garden tried to fix the humidity issue by bringing in high-tech dehumidifiers beginning with the Penguins series. On Monday, they didn't do much good as far as the ice was concerned.
Asked if he thought the conditions were "crappy," Dennis Seidenberg tried to be as kind as possible but couldn't help but state the obvious.
"It is pretty bad," Seidenberg said. "When you try to shoot, try to swing your blade on the ice, it feels like it's sandpaper. It's really rough. When you try to pass, the puck bounces. That's why you have to keep the game simple, like I said. If there's a play to be made, you have to make sure it's an easy one. If not, you rather choose to go over the wall and out.
"Again, there was breakdowns today, but we seemed to cover them up a little bit better than the other side."
It's similar to when infielders complain about the dirt at Fenway Park, a common occurrence in the 1960s and 70s and, to a lesser degree, today.
Then there's the perspective of the goalie. Tuukka Rask has already had one episode on the sketchy ice of Madison Square Garden – leading to the "butt stumble" in Game 4 of the Eastern semis that the Rangers won in overtime. Monday, Rask avoided an embarrassing repeat, no thanks to the ice conditions.
"The ice was pretty good in the start of the periods," Rask said. "Then pretty quickly it got really chippy. It's tough to get the read off of shots when it's really a mess out there with the ice. You just got to be extra careful with the crazy bounces and stuff. You don't want to make any stupid mistakes playing the puck either. You just got to be extra careful."
|Bruins can only hope home ice is advantage it was in '11
|06.17.13 at 1:04 pm ET
Two years ago, home-ice advantage was the second-biggest factor in the Stanley Cup finals, just behind having a sane goaltender.
After the Canucks took the first two games of the Stanley Cup finals with wins that were decided in the final seconds, the Bruins came back to Boston and blew Vancouver out by a combined score of 12-1. They won all three home games that series by a combined score of 17-3 before finally winning a road game in Vancouver in Game 7. Dennis Seidenberg remembers the atmosphere of the Garden being "crazy" for those games.
It obviously won't be that way this time around. For starters, the first two games were split, although they did come down to the wire, just like Games 1 and 2 in Vancouver. The idea of the Bruins torching the Blackhawks in blowout wins like they did the Canucks now that they're at home? You shouldn't bet on that either. The Blackhawks are far too defensively sound a team for that to happen, so the Bruins should expect these games to remain close. Maybe they won't go into overtime every night, but this series has been something of a stalemate.
"Who knows?" Seidenberg said of games being closer in this series than the last time they were in the Cup finals. "It's tough to predict what's going to happen tonight, but we have to focus on our game. We have to come out a little better than we did and we'll see what happens."
The argument can be made that it took Aaron Rome's hit on Nathan Horton to fire up the Bruins with them trailing by two games, as Game 3 was scoreless in the first period. Then Horton went down, and after the Bruins lifelessly struggled to get anything going on their five-minute power play, they came out after the intermission and scored 11 seconds into the second period.
The B's can only hope that they don't need an injury to get them into this game, as they were fortunate to escape Saturday's Game 2 against the Blackhawks with a victory given that they weren't into it early on.
|Tuukka Rask, Zdeno Chara finish fifth in respective awards
|06.15.13 at 7:54 pm ET
CHICAGO — Everyone knew Tuukka Rask and Zdeno Chara weren't going to win their positions' awards this season when neither of them were announced as finalists after the regular season, but it was interesting to see where they finished.
Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban was the winner of the Norris Trophy for the league's top defenseman, getting 66 first-place votes (one more than runner-up Ryan Suter) from the Pro Hockey Writers Association and finishing with 1266 points to Suter's 1230. Kris Letang (914) and Francois Beauchemin (290) also finished ahead of Chara, who was fifth with 289 points. Chara, who won the Norris in 2009, received 10 first-place votes. Also represented in Norris voting was Dennis Seidenberg, who was 21st in voting with four points (one fourth-place vote and a fifth-place vote).
Rask, meanwhile, was a rather surprising fifth-place finisher for the Vezina Trophy, which is voted on by general managers and given to the league's top goalie. Rask received no first-place votes, getting three second place votes and three third-place votes. Blue Jackets' net minder Sergei Bobrovsky won the Vezina with 110 points. Hernik Lundqvist, Antti Niemi and Craig Anderson also finished ahead for Rask.
Alexander Ovechkin took home the Hart Trophy for the most valuable player. Patrice Bergeron was the only Bruin to receive a vote, as he got a fourth-place vote and finished 17th in voting. Bergeron was named the winner of the King Clancy Trophy as the player who "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and who has made a significant humanitarian contribution to his community."

Squidward is playing his clarinet awfully and someone arrives at his door. He goes to answer the door and a doctor is there who thinks he has a dying animal on the premises. Squidward does not care about this and then gets a call from his high school classmate, Squilliam Fancyson, who is very successful, and has succeeded in everything that Squidward failed in (e.g. music). He smugly asks Squidward for his band to substitute for his own at the Bubble Bowl (with Squidward amazed that he is playing there), believing (correctly) that he does not have one; however, Squidward denies that he does not have a band and accepts the offer. He assembles a large marching band, comprised of various Bikini Bottomites, including all the other main characters.
During their one week of training, the band performs consistently badly and fails to improve at all. This includes the drummers blowing the sticks, pinning Squidward to the wall (since the others that played first required blowing), and Patrick and Sandy get in a fight when he kicks Sandy; as a result he is stuck up a trombone (he thought the figure of speech 'Start kicking' meant to kick someone).
On day two, while practicing a march, two flag twirlers are killed when they fly into the air and crash into a blimp, because of them spinning too fast, at Squidward's demand. They all begin to mourn and play Taps, except for Squidward, who just curls up, disappointed. On the third day, Plankton plays his harmonica, but becomes exhausted from having to run from one place to another since he is very tiny and collapses from exhaustion. On the last day of practice, Squidward says if everyone plays loud, they will be good, but instead they play so bad Squidward changes the idea of loud to really quiet. A heckler gets upset, saying "We wouldn't sound so bad if some of us didn't try play with big, meaty, claws!" and then he insults Mr. Krabs, and everyone gets into a huge brawl, smashing the instruments and hurting people offensively, causing the band to break up. At this time, a grieving Squidward expresses his disappointment in all of them and goes home to grieve over his failure. However, SpongeBob convinces them to go through with the performance for Squidward's sake. He says that if Squidward were someone who did something they would never forget then maybe they should do something for him. Therefore, he takes command of their training.
On the day of the concert, Squilliam shows up at the Bubble Bowl to see Squidward's failure, and he claims that his band died in a marching accident. However, Squidward's band shows up and he is forced to go through with the performance. They enter a large glass dome, which rises up and takes them to a live-action football field for a team called the Showboats, complete with human fans. Squidward turns his head away from the band before they begin, assuming that the performance will be a disaster, but the band is tremendously successful, playing a rock ballad of David Glen Eisley's "Sweet Victory." Squilliam goes into a state of shock and faints from a heart attack and gets taken away by paramedics, leaving Squidward to celebrate his "Sweet Victory."

Then become a part of the greatest musical sensation ever to hit Bikini Bottom and be forever adored by thousands of people you don't know. Not to mention free refreshments! Practice begins tonight, 8:30 sharp.
- The ending is similar to the 1st movie: someone happy jumps in the air and screen freezes.
- The Bubble Bowl "real life" crowd is footage used from a USFL Memphis Showboats vs. Tampa Bay Bandits game.
- During Day Two when the band is marching down the street, they are actually doing a rendition of Semper Fidelis, regarded as the official marching song of the U.S. Marine Corps.

- SpongeBob's eager face was used in the online game "Reef Rumble."
- SpongeBob's eager face is also a famous internet meme.
- Patrick's line from this episode, "Is mayonnaise an instrument?" has become a famous internet meme.
- This also applies to Harold's line "Big, meaty, claws!"
- Several clips of this episode have been used in various old SpongeBob music videos on YouTube.
- On Nick.com's official SpongeBob site, the original episode video description stated that Squidward only has minutes to put together a band for the Bubble Bowl, yet the band actually has four days to train. It might be referring to the length of the episode.
- In the Japanese version of this episode, the French Narrator and the announcer in the stadium are not heard.
- In Latin America, during the day one training, the line where SpongeBob interferes Squidward after he asks people to stand in rows of five saying "Is this the part where we start kicking?" Squidward's response was changed. In English, he replies "No SpongeBob, that's a chorus line" (Which in Spanish would translate to "No SpongeBob, esa es una linea de coro"), while in the Latin American version, he replies "No SpongeBob, you think this is Karate?" (Which in Spanish translates to "No SpongeBob, ¿crees que esto es Karate?"). This change could have been made in order to not confuse young viewers, since it is likely that most of them do not have any sort of music compositional knowledge. However, this is countered by the fact that in the Latin American version, while asking the drum group to repeat the line from his clarinet, instead of saying "Drums" ("Tambores" in Spanish), he says "Percussion" ("Percusion" in Spanish), which is a far less common denomination of the instrument.
- This is one of the only episodes to have a major plot hole.
- In the Polish dub, the episode's title is "Kapela Skalmara" (Squidward's Band).
- During the song, when SpongeBob is pointing and Sandy is in the background, SpongeBob is wearing a ring that looks like the friendship ring from this episode's sister episode, "The Secret Box."
- This episode and "The Secret Box," were the last to air before the 9/11 attacks, which occured just 4 days after this episode aired.
- Running Gag: Patrick kicking Sandy making her beat up Patrick with a trombone first and then a trumpet.
- All of the main characters appear in this episode except Gary the Snail.
- This episode takes place before or after season 1's "Naughty Nautical Neighbors" because in that episode SpongeBob tries to play a string bass.

- When everyone in the room is talking, SpongeBob and Patrick are sitting next to each other. However, when Patrick asks if mayonnaise is an instrument and when he says "Kicking!? I want to do some kicking!," he is sitting next to Sandy.
- Then, after getting beaten by Sandy, Patrick returns to a third seat.
- Throughout the scenes of the rehearsals, the characters constantly change instruments.
- During multiple scenes in which the screen shakes, when televised, it is surrounded by either a brown or blue border. This error also occurs in "Welcome to the Chum Bucket" and "The Secret Box."
- When Squidward says that he really expected better of them, Nancy's skin was green instead of pink.
- When everyone says blah blahs, they all say it normally, but the closed captions show musical notes for this part, as if they were singing.
- The entire reason that Squidward has a band is because Squilliam could not make it. However, he shows up anyway meaning he could make it. So, Squidward did not have to make a band.
- It is possible, if not likely, that Squilliam lied just to publicly humiliate Squidward.
- Patrick's trombone has valves on it, a feature uniquely absent from trombones.
- When Squidward says "That's his eager face," his mouth is somewhat out of sync with the animation.
- When the band is shown turning from above, Pearl's nose is unreasonably big and covers several people.
- When Squidward asks Plankton how the harmonica solo is going, the harmonica is not on the chair. A second later, it is on the chair.
- The saxophone is a woodwind instrument, but when Squidward tells the brass section to play, Harold can be seen playing a saxophone.
- When Squidward tells the woodwind section to play, one of the players is playing a brass instrument.
- When it is day four, the seats are missing.
- Squidward may have moved the chairs between the end of day three and the beginning of day four.
- In the shot where Mr. Krabs asks, "When do we get the free food?," Sandy is sitting next to him. Two seats behind Mr. Krabs is Frank. Part of him is shown, but the part that should be shown in Sandy's helmet is not there. It is not a trick with lighting because the part of Fred, who is sitting behind Mr. Krabs, that is in Sandy's helmet is shown.

President Barack Obama on 'The View' (Live-Blog)
President Barack Obama taped an appearance on "The View" yesterday, and the show is airing today. "The View," believe it or not, has been increasingly focused on booking politicians (you can read Journal reporter Amy Chozick's story about the subject here). It's part of the show's strategy to hook viewers in the runup to the 2010 midterm elections.
So why did Obama decide to go on the daytime chatfest? "I was trying to find a show that [First Lady] Michelle [Obama] actually watched," the President said on the show.
During the program, the president talks about his administration's accomplishments, his greatest obstacles, and why he wasn't invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
You can check out Speakeasy's live-blog of President Obama on "The View" starting at 11 a.m. ET.
Obama Talks to Ladies on 'The View'
I'm actually really looking forward to this. I'm also hoping members of the administration go on "Rachael Ray" soon.
The show is starting "a very special edition" of "The View." No subject is off limits, the announcer promises.
The ladies are all wearing black and white. Significance?
Barbara Walters thanks the crowd "from the bottom of her new heart."
"For the first time in American history a sitting president is visiting a daytime talk show," says Whoopi Goldberg. Then she welcomes back Barbara Walters, who is here for the special show.
Looks like no hot topics for the ladies today — we go straight from an introduction… right into a commercial. Of course.
Whoopi says she's "happy" to be the first daytime talk show host to say these words: "When we come back, President Barack Obama will be here."
Commercial break.
All these red, white and blue graphics make the opening to 'The View" look like a Macy's ad.
Obama walks out and embraces and kisses each "View" co-host. "This is fun," he says.
Barbara Walters asks if he's ever watched the show. He says "Of course."
The POTUS on daytime TV. Incredible. I'd like to see Obama do a guest spot on "General Hospital," a la James Franco.
Obama cracks a joke about The View's couches being made for smaller people.
Barbara says that this has been a difficult time for Obama. She asks him in the last month what has been the "rose" and what has been "the thorn."
The President says that the First Family took a couple days in Maine–enjoying biking and other activities–that were the rose.
As for the thorn, he talks about the economy, the oil spill and a "whole host of other issues." He says the economy has started to stabilize and grow again.
Barbara again asks him what was the biggest thorn in the last month.
He talks about having to sign letters to people whose relatives have died in battle.
Joy asks Obama where his attack dog is. He says, 'That's your job.'
Joy Behar ask him where are his attack dog to promote the administration's "narrative" and accomplishments.
"Politics is a contact sport," says Obama. But he says "We shouldn't be campaigning all the time."
Elisabeth Hasselbeck says we're a "very divided" country.
"I think that right after the election" there was a sense of hope, Obama says. He said they had to make sure the auto industry and the economy didn't collapse.
"My hope is that I try to set a tone" that we can disagree without being disaggreable. He says the media loves conflict, and doesn't report on agreements.
Obama talks about Shirley Sherrod. He says that the media created a "phony controversy." He says people need to get the facts straight before they react. He says his kids have a healthier attitude around issues of race than the previous generation.
On the issues of race, Whoopi brings up "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." Obama says he was 6 at the time. Whoopi wants to know if it's still relevant today.
Whoopi asks Obama who we are when it comes to race.
"We are Americans," he says.
"I think most Americans feel that way," he says. He says there's still a "reptilian" part of the brain that looks at differences. He says Sherrod's speech was actually about getting beyond biases.
Barbara asks Obama why he doesn't describe himself as biracial instead of black.
He says he wrote a book that dealt with that. "We're all kind of mixed up," Obama says about the racial background of Americans. He says he's less interested in how we label ourselves than in how we treat each other.
I'm guessing that Obama would rather be talking about his healthcare plan, the economy, his kids, Snooki from "Jersey Shore," basketball, his improving golf game — anything other than race, which has been the topic for the last 15 minutes.
Elisabeth asks Obama about the idea that the administration is "saving jobs." She says people are losing jobs.
"We've now gained jobs for five consecutive months in the private sector," Obama says.
"It makes a difference if your job is one of the ones that's saved," says Obama.
The clinking of Barbara's gold bracelets over the mic is distracting.
Obama talks about the auto industry. He says there were a lot of complaints when the administration helped restruture the auto industry. He says the major automakers are now showing a profit and they've helped pioneer green-car technology and hired more workers.
Barbara says: We have to get to questions on Afghanistan. Why don't we get out?
Obama: War is always tough.
Barbara asks about Afghanistan. "War is always tough," says Obama. He says the recent Wikileaks on the war confirmed what he had been saying. He says in Afghanistan "we still have a lot of work to do."
Sherri Shepherd hasn't said much. I wonder why.
I'm surprised that Elisabeth Hasselbeck's questions haven't been tougher. She's on the record as being a political opponent of the administration, and she is clearly passionate about politics, but she hasn't asked anything pointed.
Now on to the hard stuff: Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson questions.
Obama: Let me answer the Afghanistan questions.
Obama: "I've got to admit I don't know who Snooki is."
Obama's iPod: "I got Jay Z on there, I've got Frank Sinatra on there. I've got Maria Callas on there, I do not have Justin Bieber on there. I have met Justin Bieber."
Doesn't asking the President about Mel Gibson's phone call rants and Snooki devalue the highest office a touch? El Rushbo will have a field day with this appearance.
On Chelsea Clinton's wedding: "It would be tough enough to have one president at a wedding. You don't want two presidents."
"I was not invited, because I think Hillary and Bill properly want to keep this as a thing for Chelsea and her soon-to-be husband."
"I'm letting you guys know now, you all probably will not be invited to Malia's wedding."
The View folks grill him about pop culture. Joy Behar does a "lightning round." She asks about Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson and Snooki from "Jersey Shore."
"I have to admit, I don't know who Snooki is," Obama says.
"I don't Tweet," he also says. He says there may be an official presidential Tweet but it's done by some twentysomething.
He says he has Jay-Z, Maria Callas and Frank Sinatra on his iPod. But he doesn't have Justin Bieber.
He also says he's not going to Chelsea Clinton's wedding. He says he wasn't invited.
Nothing against Justin Bieber, but I would have been surprised if the President had him on his iPod. Even my eight year-old son tells me "Justin Bieber is for girls."
Twitter tells me that Obama has joked about Snooki before, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. He said at the time: "This next provision is called the Jersey Shore-Up. It reads: The following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill – Snooki, J-WOWW, the Situation, and House Minority Leader John Boehner."
I actually think it's a good thing when people in political office show some interest in and knowledge about pop culture. I think if people are going to be making decisions that deal with the cultural lives of Americans, you kinda want them to have some engagement with that culture so they're not making those choices in the abstract.
Obama touts some of his accomplishments: health care reform, a new credit card law that deals with hidden fees, financial industry reform, saving the country "from a Great Depression."
"The reason I seem calm all the time" he says, is that he takes a long view of things. "I think that's the best way to go."
He says polls change quickly. He's focused on what's best for the country/. "Good policy is good politics," he says.
He says he wants his legacy to be that they tackled a bunch of problems that people had been putting off for too long.
Barbara Walters says goodbye to the President. She says that they were "honored to have you."
Yeah, I thought he had mentioned "Jersey Shore" before–odd that he forgot and said he didn't know Snooki. But a lot of people might deny they knew Snooki. But I guess I'd be more concerned if he said he didn't know Angela Merkel.
Whoopi says goodbye.
Sherri said basically nothing. Maybe she's saving her comments for Nancy Pelosi, if she ever swings by?

Product Description
"Monroe, known for her environmental fiction (The Beach House; Sweetgrass), skillfully incorporates lore about the monarch butterflies into a rich novel about generations and tradition. This book, filled with unusual female characters, is highly recommended for book clubs and readers of women's fiction."
- Library Journal
"In The Butterfly's Daughter, Mary Alice Monroe gives us a novel that, like the monarch butterfly, has a plentitude of beauty and wonder. Luz Avila is a character we cheer on as she makes her journey from Wisconsin to Mexico and, equally, toward knowledge and forgiveness."
—Ron Rash, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of Serena --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

She leaves her boyfriend, Sully, behind and the car breaks down. While it is being fixed, she temps at a restaurant, where she meets Ofelia who is pregnant. When Ofelia is beaten by her boyfriend, Luz convinces her to leave and they go on to visit Ofelia's mother where Ofelia and her dog can stay until the baby is born. When they reach the nursery where Ofelia's mother worked and discover she is gone, Ofelia goes into labor and stays with the nursery owner and Luz picks up a new traveler, Margaret, the uptight nursery manager who always had plans to visit the butterfly sanctuary. Their next stop leads them to a camp ground where they meet Stacie, a free spirit who adds to the mix and directs them to Austin and their next stop.Stacie brings her own kind of magic to Luz's self discovery trip. She teaches both Margaret and Luz that they should enjoy life and take it as it comes.
The final step in Luz's journey is when she meets her mother's family and there a startling discovery is made that makes Luz rethink her whole history. The news Luz receives is a life changing event that you need to read about--sorry no spoiler here! Luz does make the trek to the butterfly sanctuary and grows immensely. I just loved the descriptions and how the author related self discovery to the different stages of a butterfly's life cycle. Each chapter starts with a description of the life cycle and you can just imagine how Luz felt with each step of her journey with some remarkable women that she meets along the way, each of them goddesses like the folklore tales she grew up with.
I live on the western coastal trail of the Monarch's migration and they are just starting their trek home. The day I received this book in the mail, I saw my first Monarch of the season. I had such a amazing feeling of hope that only progressed as I read the book. I have some milkweed plants and I will plant more to see if I can get the Monarchs to stay in my yard, but because the route is also a bird migration route, the eggs don't last long here as the birds gobble them up. This is truly an inspiring tale of new beginnings and wonderful way to look at your own surroundings in that you can be reborn like a butterfly.
Although I have finished The Butterfly's Daughter by MARY ALICE MONROE, I will never forget this novel. When I began the novel, I did not know my heart would become intertwined not only with the characters but also with the monarch butterflies' travels. Their journey is long and hazardous. Thankfully, each chapter starts with a heading about the butterflies. Mary Alice Monroe has chosen the most scintillating facts about the butterflies for people like me who are scientifically challenged. Those chapter headings always seemed to relate to the lives of the character: Abuela, Luz, Margaret, Stacie, Mariposa, Sully, Ofelia and even Serena, the chihuahua are on an "epic journey" of metamorphisis like the monarch butterflies. The monarchs have their powerful wings for travel and Luz has her Abuela's El Toro. El Toro is an orange VW. It is picked by Abuela, Luz's grandma. Abuela wants to go back home to the mountains of Mexico with Luz. She wants to take the time to share with Luz the many thoughts in her heart. The problem is can this beaten up orange thing on wheels take them that far.
Luz takes off in El Toro never realizing it would become a wild adventure. Really, no day is the same. No day is the same for the monarch butterflies either. As they travel, a monarch butterfly can become too cold, too hot, tattered and torn. Life is tough not just for humans but also, for these creatures who go through so many stages before becoming a beautiful butterfly. In Tia Maria's house there are aquariums where the caterpillar goes from one stage to the next stage.
I am glad Mary Alice Monroe chose to write about the monarch butterflies. Their life is like my life. I have constantly gone through changes just by living through infancy, the toddler stage, adolescence, young adulthood, middle age and onward. At each stage I have needed to come to grips with a new me. However, now I can think of the monarch. When I am tired from struggling to understand each stage, I can know that somewhere along the way there is a beautiful spiritual me being born. So I really related to Luz as she cried, forgave, laughed, loved and remembered.
"Luz sat in a window seat of the crowded plane and gazed out as she traveled north. It had been a tumultuous season of new relationships and goodbyes."
This is a bittersweet novel. I did not like how all the situations were handled in Luz's life. I did not like all the people. I almost despised Mariposa for something she did up in the mountains of Mexico with the ofrenda made by Luz and her friends. I was afraid that Mary Alice Monroe would just sweep it under the rug by making it just a little misunderstanding between Mariposa and Luz. To my satisfaction the author made the scenes very real. Luz acted just the way I would have acted if Mariposa had done what she did to me. Mariposa has been through many hells in her life. So, she's rough around the edges. Often, her actions seem very selfish. While learning about her and watching how she acted and had acted in life, I realized it is really hard to forgive people. However, life is a circle that must become complete before I can feel complete. Plus, I can never throw away family. Our ancestors, our roots, are what makes me feel more than just a shadow on this earth. My family gives me purpose. So, it is important to work through the rough spots.
I can only end by writing that THE BUTTERFLY'S DAUGHTER is ripe with meaning and very poignant. I do have one new goal for my life's list. I would like to travel to the mountains of Mexico to see the sky "explode in orange glitter" with monarch butterflies.
The story follows a young woman as she discovers her heritage and her own identity. Mary Alice Monroe compares the life of this young woman with the life of the monarch butterfly. The story has real characters to love, hate, and identify with. The story mimics life in such a genuine way. There are highs and lows in the story that bound me to the heroine of the story. Her story could easily be my story.
The Butterfly's Daughter is an easy read. Once you start, it is difficult to put down. You need to find out what happens next. The author has written a beautiful and heart warming story. I give this book 5 stars.
A complimentary copy of The Butterfly's Daughter was provided to me. All opinions expressed in this review are mine alone.

Well, according to Gabe Linux is the new big platform for games. I might check out Torque, thanks.
Apart from that there are many different ways to implement an environment and the way of implementing the feature depends on the way your terrain works.
Ok, I think see what you are saying: It's hard to make a one-size-fits-all.
If your primary target is to create a game and not to learn the technology I highly recommend to evaluate the available engines and go with one of them!
Interesting. My primary target at the moment is indeed to create a game. Which engine would you recommend? I would like to have something more on the programming end and less on the value tweaking end since I want to be able to make some unique features.

Black Ops II DLC Could Add All-New Modes and the Return of War Mode
Written Thursday, November 15, 2012 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
According to Treyarch's multiplayer man David Vonderhaar, who took to Reddit recently to answer questions about Call of Duty: Black Ops II, future add-ons for the game could introduce some new multiplayer modes and even see the return of World at War's 'War Mode'. Or something that's "War like" anyway, says Vonderhaar.
War is a twist on Capture the Flag in which up to five flags are on the map, and only one of those flags can be contested at any one time. Once a flag is captured, it activates the next in the direction of the enemy's spawn point, leading to a back and forth land grab between two teams.
"No plans to bring back War at this time," Vondehaar stated, before adding "Never say never. Here is a hint. We have a very War like mode, that isn't exactly War, that I would love to tell you about, but I can't because ... dragged away by PR."
Vonderhaar also hinted that All or Nothing could return as DLC too, seeing players starting with an empty gun, some stealthy perks and some knives. Bag a kill and you can scavenge ammo for your empty gun. New modes are likely on the agenda as well. "We have some of our own new gamemodes we are eager to try out," Vonderhaar commented.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II is out now.

First and foremost, I am assuming you googled our name and we are the first website that came up. You got the information off of our website and filed the report against us. Please refer back to your lease that you signed. You should have a copy of it. On the first page in the right hand corner, you will find the proper information of the office that had you sign the lease. If you are not able to locate it there, please get in contact with me (you have my phone number) and I will assist you in finding out the proper information.
Retriever / NPC is set up with hundreds of offices practicing independently accross the US. We are located in Waterville, OH. We do not have any reps that operate in your state. Most of our reps operate in OH and MI. The only time we get out of state merchants is when they solicit us for our services.
We don't try to get merchants to sign leases. We know and are aware of the reprocussions. We offer most clients the opportunity to purchase the equipment outright anywhere from $200 - $700 depending upon the equipment the merchant selects. The only time that leases are signed is when the merchant is adamant and at that point....all of the lease terms are reviewed verbally and sent to the merchant for review in writing. We work with all of our merchants and want to keep them happy. We have spent years building a great reputation and would hate to have it destroyed due to someone giving inaccurate information.

Les Anti-Miserables
Dont let the name mislead you; Les Ballets Africains dont perform plies or wear tutus. Rather, they blend dance, acrobatics, storytelling, and comedy and set it to a beat of African drums. Think of a more badass version of the Lion King, for grownups.
The ensemble was founded in 1952 and became the official national dance company of the Republic of Guinea when that country won its independence from France. The company, which has toured all over the world, incorporates traditional African instruments like the djembe (a drum thought to have healing powers), a krin (a piece of hollow wood used to transmit messages through a forest), rattles made from gourds, and lateral flutes made from bamboo. The choreography represents African daily life: dancers leap as though scurrying across hot sand, or make slashing motions with their arms as though bushwhacking through the jungle. Critical reviews of the troupe are overwhelmingly positive; The New York Daily News called the cast a bolt of joy from Africa
They supply enough energy to light up a city." Les Ballets Africains perform Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (701 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach) Tickets cost $15 to $42. Call 561-832-SHOW, or visit www.kravis.org.

THEATER; Total Theater, Starring Puppets
By JOHN FREEDMAN
Published: March 31, 2002
MOSCOW— CHILDREN in Moscow call the Shadow Theater their favorite.
Critics, enthusiastic about its productions of ''Hamlet'' and ''Swan Lake,'' call the theater one of Russia's most innovative.
World-class artists, like the Russian theater director Anatoly Vasiliev, the Italian screenwriter Tonino Guerra and the Russian composer Aleksandr Bakshi, call it home for their latest projects -- brief, intense segments in a program titled ''The Lilikan Museum of Theatrical Ideas,'' which will be unveiled at a national theater festival here. (It began last Thursday and runs to April 15.)
Maia Krasnopolskaia, the founder of the Shadow Theater in 1988 with her husband, Ilia Epelbaum, put it this way 20 minutes before a late-January matinee -- a puppet performance of Tchaikovsky's mystical fairy-tale opera ''Iolanta'':
''This is not a puppet theater, an opera theater or a drama theater. It is theater as a way of life, a way of existence, a way of feeling.''
An hour after the performance, Mr. Epelbaum was in his office, jokingly describing his efforts to raise the status of puppet theater. Speaking in Russian, like his wife, he said: ''Getting Vasiliev to do Molière's 'Misanthrope' as a puppet show was a big victory. It ought to raise the prestige of the genre, although I must admit I don't even like puppet theater.''
Mr. Epelbaum, a native of Chelyabinsk, a city in south Russia near the Ural Mountains, has lived in Moscow since his student days at the Stroganov art institute. He likes to make quips and to speak plainly on complex subjects.
''I think we should quit breaking art into genres,'' he said. ''Why judge music, painting, dance, theater, puppetry and film by different standards? That's narrow-minded. What's good is good and what is good is what should guide us.''
The Shadow Theater, on a nondescript side street about three miles northeast of the Kremlin, is something of a misnomer. Most of its shows, which include shadows of people and inanimate objects, dip into numerous art forms, incorporating painting, live acting and music with stick, string and hand-held puppets. Several recent works have made use of video -- recorded tapes as well as video transmissions of events in progress.
''Ilia was a successful commercial artist when he decided to quit and create a theater,'' said Ms. Krasnopolskaia, 39, who is a trained puppeteer. ''His parents were shocked. He was 25 then and earning good money. We made an agreement that if, by the time he turned 30, the theater wasn't a success, we would abandon the idea.''
Mr. Epelbaum, who is now 40, took up the tale: ''A shadow theater seemed closest to what an artist does on paper. But I have no education in theater and we couldn't hold to the genre for long. I think what best describes us is 'visual theater.' Mine is the theater of an artist who begins with visual images and then adds literature, music and other things.''
The theater's first productions were straightforward puppet shows, which attracted the attention of international puppet festivals. Soon, the husband and wife team, often with their two children in tow, was touring the world, including appearances in Vancouver, Chicago and Pittsburgh in 1990 and 1991. Eventually, as the theater's reputation grew, it made the transition from a private organization to one that is municipally financed.
These days, it is often easier to see the Shadow Theater's shows outside of Moscow than in it. Immediately upon returning from a festival in the Siberian city of Tomsk in late January, the troupe left for a tour of Spain in February. One period they always spend in Moscow, however, is March and April, during Russia's annual Golden Mask national theater festival. Since 1996, when the festival jury named Mr. Epelbaum best director in the category of puppetry for his show ''The Tour of the Lilikan Grand Royal Theater of Drama, Opera and Ballet in Russia,'' the Shadow Theater has been a perennial nominee and frequent award winner.
AT this year's Golden Mask, one segment of ''The Lilikan Museum of Theatrical Ideas'' -- the Vasiliev-Epelbaum rendition of ''The Misanthrope'' -- has been nominated in the innovation category rather than the puppetry division, endorsing Mr. Epelbaum's view that his work has taken him into new territory.
''The Tour of the Lilikan Grand Royal Theater of Drama, Opera and Ballet in Russia'' was breathtaking in its conception, scope and detail. Its play-within-a-play -- ''Two Trees,'' a raucous mock-Wagnerian opera enacted by two-inch puppets on sticks -- was almost an afterthought in what amounted to an elaborate theatrical event, beginning with the arrival of the spectators.
The theater's entrance and foyer were remade into a fantasy land that ostensibly had been transported from the legendary kingdom of Lilikania. For the foyer, Mr. Epelbaum created a chamber imitating a grand opera house lobby with four working puppet video screens (images painted on scrolls were rolled to give the illusion of movement), self-service snack bars, souvenir stands, paintings and sculptures.

Skill Level Beginner
Cropping a photo eliminates content at the edges of the photo. You may want to crop a photo because someone has wandered into the edge of a photo or there's some other unwanted content at the edges. Or maybe you want to change the aspect ratio of a photo so that it fits in a particular frame if you go to print it. Or maybe you just want to change the composition to make it more pleasing. Whatever your reason you have several places that you can crop a photo in Elements. You can crop in any of the three editor work spaces or you can crop a photo from right here in the Organizer using the Crop tool in the Photo Fix options, and that makes sense because cropping is often one of the first things you'll do, and you'll often first see an image here in the Organizer.
If you do want to use the Crop tool in the Photo Fix options, you have to open those options in the Organizer, by clicking the Instant Fix icon in the Task pane at the bottom of the Organizer, as I've already shown you. To crop this photo, I'll select it in the media browser in the Organizer, and then I'll click the Crop tool in the Photo Fix options. That opens a separate window, the crop photo window, with a bounding box in the center of the photo. By default, I can move any of the edges of this crop bounding box. I'll hover over an edge until my cursor changes to a double pointed arrow and then I'll drag to move that edge.
I'll do the same here and here, for example. If I want to see how the image looks with that particular crop bounding box, I'll come down to the Preview button and I'll click, and that gives me a preview. If I'm happy with that result, I could click down here. If I want to go back and tweak it further, I'll click Reset, which I'm going to do now. The reason that I can move each of the edges of this bounding box is that, by default the Ratio menu at the bottom of this window is set to no restriction. Let's see what's else is in this menu. The items with numbers represent common photo aspect ratios.
Like eight by ten, five by seven, four by six, and so on. Now, these are not inches, these are just ratios of width to height. So if I were to choose four by six here, and then I were to make a print of this image, it wouldn't necessarily print at four inches by six inches. Instead, I would be able to choose whether to print a four inch by six inch, or an eight inch by twelve inch, or even larger at the same aspect ratio, if there are enough pixels, or enough information in the image. If I want to crop to the same aspect ratio as the original photo, then I'll choose Use Photo Ratio from this menu.
And now if I move my cursor over one of the corners of this bounding box and drag in or out, the crop bounding box will always be in the same ratio as my original photo. Notice that I can't move the edges independently of one another; I can just click and drag at the corners. I also have the option here to make a square ratio, which is a one to one ratio. I think that will look nice on this image and it will eliminate that unwanted content at the edges. So I'm going to drag out the corners until the crop bounding box is just the size that I wanted.
I'll click inside of the box and drag to position it where I want it in the image. I'll preview by clicking the Preview button and if I'm satisfied with that result I'll click the Done button. That closes the Crop Photos window and takes me back to the media browser in the organizer. As I explained earlier, when you use any of the photo fix options, including the Crop tool, the Organizer automatically saves the changed version of the photo, which you see here, in what's call a version set with the original.
The original is underneath the changed version in this version set. If I want to see them both, then I'll click the arrow to the right of the version set, and that expands the version set to show the original on this side and the changed version over here. In this case the cropped version looks larger then the original because I've changed the aspect ratio. So when you want to crop a photo consider doing it here in the Organizer where the Crop tool is simple to use and the program automatically saves the change version for you
