Being true to your word in your relationships might be important for you today. Perhaps because your level of commitment to others is so strong, you may feel that being open and straightforward, in addition to keeping your promises, could strengthen the connections you have with others. It might be that you remember what it was like to feel betrayed by someone else's trust and rather than reacting in kind or even expressing your feelings of hurt you might instead wish to stay true to your word. Making a point to practice right speech—refraining from gossip or untruths—today could make it easier to remain firm in your desire to be loyal and honest with others. You might find that by watching what you say and how you say it, you are able to reach even deeper levels of trust with the people you care about.
Practicing right speech helps us interact with others truthfully. When we become aware of the impact our words have on others, we will realize that even if our intentions are good, the ways in which we express ourselves are just as important as our actions. Words have the power to affect us in extremely profound ways. Setting the intention to speak honestly, however, extends the hand of genuine trust to others, and this erases any doubts or fears that would otherwise be present in the relationship. By keeping your word today, you will deepen your commitment to the people in your life and pave the way for greater honesty.

30 Day Challenge Tune Out The Noise and Tune Into Him
By Ty McFarland
At KSBJ, we always remind you that "God listens," but it's easy to forget to listen to Him. This January, we asked listeners to tune out the noise of the world, especially the entertainment that makes it hard to focus on God, and take the 30-Day Challenge. For 30 days, thousands of you joined us as we focused on God's voice and let Him speak to us through Christian music. What a great way to start the New Year!
A fresh start—The 30-Day Challenge is about tuning out the distractions that keep our minds from focusing on God. It's about listening to music that focuses on life from God's perspective, for a month, and then seeing the positive changes in our own lives. Who knows … it may turn into a few months, a year or even a lifetime!
We all know the fate of most "New Year's resolutions" but to us this challenge is more than a resolution, it is a frame of mind, it's a lifestyle. Just like it takes a while to form a new habit, it takes even more to grow your relationship with God. The 30-Day Challenge is not just in the month of January. The fact is, it's not KSBJ's 30-Day Challenge; it's YOUR 30-Day Challenge. It's your chance to experience the joy of Christian music that God puts in your heart.
We encourage you to not only take the challenge with us but share it with your family and friends. Help those closest to you start the year fresh with a new perspective and a road to a stronger relationship with God. And don't forget, NGEN radio is also a great option for those who crave a different music mix but with a positive message.
Our hope is that through this commitment, many people will strengthen their relationship with God by tuning out the distractions and focusing on Him.
To learn more about the 30-Day Challenge, visit our website: www.ksbj.org. Here's to an amazing 2014!

I'm the only person I have heard of whose mother actually got down on her knees and begged her son to go into the theater," recalls Larry Hagman, 47. Of course, his stage mother really is a stage mother—Broadway legend Mary Martin. "She said, 'Come on, go on the road with me in Annie Get Your Gun,' and I said, 'Nah, I don't want to do that. I want to be a cowboy down in Texas because my daddy lives there.' "
Happily, young Larry got saddlesore "sweating for 35¢ an hour" and reconsidered. He returned to a lengthy theater apprenticeship, scored as Barbara Eden's master in I Dream of Jeannie and now has ambled into a role that combines his showbiz and Texas legacies. Hagman plays the villainous cattle and oil baron J. R. Ewing on the CBS melodrama Dallas. Hagman loves the role, "but the characters aren't nasty enough," he says, even though J.R. once caused his brother's pregnant wife to miscarry by fighting with her in a hayloft. "I know so many Texans who are the epitome of this dude. People get wealthy, and they get mean."
Hagman is himself a well-heeled but gentle eccentric who lives in a five-bedroom, five-bath haven on Malibu Beach with his Swedish wife, Maj (sounds like my), 47, and their son, Preston, 16. (Daughter Heidi, 21, lives in her own L.A. house.) Pennants flutter from the upper deck, and Hagman will perch on the roof to observe the sunset or wear an American Indian headdress while entertaining. The home's most striking feature is a luxurious indoor spa-cam-Jacuzzi that Maj, who supported the family during lean times as a clothing designer, created 11 years ago. She's since created such grottoes (they run $12,000 minimum) for clients like Burgess Meredith and producer Robert Radnitz. Larry likes his so much that he laughs, "The family that bathes together, stays together," and indeed he and Maj have been wed 24 years.
Hagman's own youth was more slapdash. He spent his first five years in his mother's hometown of Weatherford, Texas (which has a statue of Peter Pan dedicated to her), until she divorced his lawyer father, Ben, and married producer-manager Richard Halliday. At odds with his stepfather, Hagman moved in with his grandmother in Los Angeles, attending Black-Foxe Military Institute. He then went East, bouncing among boarding schools, and says he attended liberal Bard College in upstate New York because he was "terribly rich and terribly oddball and couldn't get into any other college."
"Mother gave me my freedom," recalls Hagman. "I resented it for a while, but then I found out she was right. I couldn't compete in her area, but she's been a great help. She opened doors for me and gave me $50 a week for three months to get started as an actor." His mother now insists, "Larry made it all on his own. He never used my name, ever, and I think it's great." He had acted in some 60 stock shows by age 19 and appeared in London's South Pacific chorus behind his star mother before enlisting in the Air Force in the early 1950s. He then did "hundreds of TV roles" (including two years on the soap The Edge of Night) before uncorking Jeannie—and his career—in 1965. Perhaps his most touching movie role was as Art Carney's self-pitying son in Harry and Tonto, though he's tended to be typed as a military man in films like The Eagle Has Landed and even in Superman as a missile-unit commander. "Larry worked hard to be his own man," says director friend Ted (The President's Analyst) Flicker, who even foresees Hagman emerging as "the next Duke Wayne in our business."
Already Hagman is unofficial mayor of Malibu, frequently throwing on outlandish get-ups and leading ragtag parades down the strand. His latest zealotry is antitobacco, and he carries a battery-operated fan (and gave 100 of them to friends) to blow away the smoke. Once a week he tries to observe a day of silence—"wonderful discipline, and my family is grateful." Larry and Maj love to cook for friends like Brooke Hayward and Peter Fonda, and are hot springs freaks, visiting them throughout the country in a custom-made van that has a seven-foot bed.
Hagman no longer sees the therapist who "got me over a period of transition" nearly 10 years ago when he had trouble dealing with Jeannie's success. "My feeling is that therapy is profitable for the therapist but usually a pain in the ass for the patient. I'm more reasonable now," says Hagman. Then he looks out over the Pacific and grins: "Just another crappy day in paradise."
His Mom Was Peter Pan, but Larry Hagman Is All Villain in 'dallas'

Apple's partnership with Disney goes back way further than the latter company's recent decision to accept Apple Pay at Disney World. At the time of his death in 2011, Steve Jobs was the single biggest shareholder of Disney stock as a result of it acquiring his company, Pixar, in 2006.
Jobs got on particularly well with Disney CEO Bob Iger, who called Jobs in 2005 and asked if he could repair the damage that had been done to the Apple/Disney relationship under former Disney CEO Michael Eisner.
That relationship is examined in a new Fortune profile of Iger, which describes his six-year friendship with Jobs as the "relationship that has most shaped his thinking."

The Century of Language Change in Columbus (CLCC) Project
During the course of the 20th century, the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area underwent a period of massive and explosive growth, both in the central city, or urban, portion of Columbus, as well as the suburbs (especially during the second half of the 20th century). Given these intense changes, we might expect that such change would have an impact on the area's culture, and one aspect of culture is the language people use.
The Century of Language Change in Columbus (CLCC) Project is a research and field work project dedicated to documenting, analyzing, and presenting information pertaining to, changes that have occurred in Columbus speech during the course of the entire 20th century as a result of the geographic and cultural changes that impacted the area during this time period. In particular, the project focuses on variation in the way folks of various backgrounds pronounce vowel sounds--as these sounds are often one of the more salient markers of regional or local identity by speakers. By background, we mean here someone's social background characteristics--the social class affiliation some one might have, their sex (whether they are a man or a woman), their age, their race, and even quite possibly the location within the greater Columbus area in which someone grew up.
There are several topics covered on this Web site:
First, there are the results of our ongoing study of language changes in the community. The primary type of data featured on this site is phonetic (that is, data on the pronunciation of sounds), specificially vowel variation data. Results are drawn primarily from the speech of Columbusites born throughout the 20th Century, although some focus is also given to patterns of dialect variation found in the speech of Columbus-area residents born during the 19th Century, when data is available.
The results of the analysis of patterns of vowel variation will also eventually be presented in an expanded form in a dissertation written by OSU graduate student David Durian. More details on the contents of this dissertation will be available shortly. For now however, you may see work in progress on the dissertation via the CLCC results and CLCC presentations pages.
Second, there is some information on the CLCC Project researchers. If you are an OSU linguistics undergraduate, and you are looking for credit for an internship in linguistics (LING 489), please consider working for the CLCC Project. The CLCC is currently unable to offer a paid internship, but we do offer exciting opportunities to gain hands on experience in cutting edge phonetic analysis techniques, as well as academic credit for doing so! If you are interested, contact Julie McGory for more details.
Third, there is also some information on CLCC Project collaborators--organizations that have contributed data used in the analysis of patterns of dialect variation on this Web site. These organizations include the Ohio Historical Society, the Dictionary of American Regional English [DARE], and the Linguistic Atlas of the North Central States [LANCS].

Back in the 2011 NBA playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs were eliminated by the Memphis Grizzlies in six games in the first round of the series. In that series, Spurs rookie center at the time, Tiago Splitter, didn't play until the final three games of the series.
For Splitter, he had a rough rookie season transitioning to the NBA, as he only played in 60 regular season games in 12.3 minutes per contest.
Fast-forward two years later, and there were the Spurs facing the Grizzlies in the 2013 NBA Western Conference Finals, and this time, Splitter played 26.3 minutes in all four games, on the Spurs' way to sweeping the Grizzlies that year.
Sunday, in 2014, where Splitter is now an NBA champion, he spoke with GloboEsporte.com about how he's learned to understand Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, and how Spurs guard Manu Ginobili was one of the key players to help in Splitter' transition to the NBA.
Splitter described how it was Ginobili who helped him from the beginning in the transition process from Europe to the NBA:
What I had to do, what Popovich likes, what he dislikes, what I do on the court, how I have to behave myself, all these details … most was that I passed the Ginobilli – explains Splitter.
Ginobili was also interviewed in the article, and he said he had heard positive things about Splitter from other players each of them had connections through. Ginobili said he knew Splitter wasn't a player who was going to score 30 points and grab 20 rebounds, but instead a player who was going to do the dirty work that doesn't always end up on a stat sheet.
Going back to Splitter's rookie season, he said he was constantly being asked by the media why he wasn't becoming a core piece in the Spurs' rotation in his first year. At some points, Splitter himself wondered if he made the right decision to come to the NBA, but all through that process, Popovich told him he was working hard, but they just couldn't fit him into the rotation at the time. Popovich told Splitter as long as he kept working hard, he would eventually get his chance.
By the way Splitter' last three seasons have shaped out – three Western Conference Finals appearances, two NBA Finals rides, one NBA Championship – it seems Splitter has made the best of his chances in being a core piece in the last three seasons.
According to Splitter in the article, while most in the public see Popovich as a strict sergeant type of personality, he's learned to see Popovich as a "cool" grandfather/father-type of figure behind the scenes.
On August 30, Splitter will try to help Brazil compete to win the 2014 FIBA World Cup. From there, it's off to training camp with the Spurs in October, where the team will try to do something the franchise has never done through it's run of five titles – win back-to-back championships.

Having grown up in Forest Hills even went to Forest Hills High. Just what the neighborhood needs more condos I bet the news owners are chomping at the bit to demolish the Midway all developers see are Dollar Signs. They say the are not going to develop soon watch in six months to a year the Midway will be toast. This is what we call progress. People just don't give a crap. Like lemmings to the slaughter.

One step further. Jim has homes, mixed use buildings, warehouses, and apartment buildings for sale. Full time since 1979, and experience that makes dealing with him so much easier. Some companies have open houses, two agents sitting in front of home, listing agent arrives hours later, and hardly anyone goes to the open houses, Why? They have the house not at a proper selling level. They just care about getting the exclusive listing, and figure they can reduce it as time goes by. People give out of neighborhood Realtors their home to sell, why I do not know. Maybe they throw high prices the owners want to hear. I have dealt with jim over 20 years and he is very good at what he does.
Officials announce new ferry landing on LIC waterfront

A rendering of the ferry stop at Gantry Plaza State Park, expected to open summer 2017.
Elected and city officials and community leaders at the Monday announcement.
By next summer, the expanded citywide ferry service will be making stops in Astoria, Hunters Point and now Gantry State Plaza Park. Elected and city officials announced Monday afternoon that the Long Island City waterfront will add another ferry landing to accommodate the fast-growing residential community. The citywide system and the new dock are expected to launch in the summer of 2017. "This is one of the fastest growing communities in all of New York City, one of the most desirable communities to live in," said Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer. "Therefore, there are certain pressures that get placed on the transportation infrastructure. Getting to and from Manhattan and other parts of the city become increasingly important." With ferries becoming an increasingly popular mode of transportation, Van Bramer said, adding an addition landing will offer yet another way for people to get around the city. "Few rides are as pleasant as the ferry service along the East River. It is quick, efficient and it works," he said. "That's why it's incredibly important that we expand the network." The city so far has invested $55 million for 10 new landings alone, officials said. According to Maria Torres-Springer, president of the city's Economic Development Corporation (EDC), which is leading the charge for citywide ferry service, each ride will cost the same as a Metrocard swipe. With the city rapidly growing, especially along waterfront communities, Torres-Springer said she projects the Long Island City landing will have the highest ridership outside of Manhattan, with nearly 4,000 trips daily. "It's going to be a lifeline vital to the thousands of residents who live in the dense residential corridors becoming even more dense," she said. "What that means for the thousands of people taking those trips is for a cost of a subway ride, an easy, affordable, convenient, modern connections to other parts of the city." Through the ferry expansion, the system plans to have a total of 21 landings and six routes by the end of 2017. Those routes include ones in Astoria, the Rockaways and South Brooklyn. By 2018, the city plans to start new routes on the Lower East Side and Soundview in the Bronx. The ferry service will be operated by the company Hornblower. Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan said she previously had concerns about the loss of parkland due to this ferry dock. After working with EDC, the state Parks Department and government officials, they came to a "good compromise," she said. "With the developments of these gigantic, dense buildings and the high towers, we need as much open space in Long Island City we promised people all those years ago," she said. "I'll be looking carefully to make sure it's not environmentally [unfriendly] or, in an open space way, hurts the existing parkland that we have." State Senator Michael Gianaris celebrated the new ferry landing as a way to accommodate the thousands of new residents coming into the community. "This is a welcome bit of relief," he said. "It's something many of us have been calling for for a very long time."

Governor honors LIC drama teacher with excellence award

Left to right: State Senator Michael Gianaris, UFT President Michael Mulgrew, Jamie Cacciola-Price, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Frank Sinatra School Principal Donna Finn, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer and Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas.
New York State honored a drama teacher from the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts last Friday for inspiring his students and his dedication to arts education. Jamie Cacciola-Price, who teaches advanced acting techniques, musical theatre, playwriting and directing at the Long Island City high school, was one of 61 teachers out of 200,000 statewide to receive the award. The Empire State Excellence in Teaching Award also comes with a $5,000 stipend. Overcome with emotion, Cacciola-Price thanked his students for being his inspiration. "I am so fortunate to be able to share my passion with you each and every day," he said. "Coming to work is an absolute joy." Governor Andrew Cuomo presented the award to Cacciola-Price. Cuomo's mother was a teacher, which he said helped him recognize the importance of having skilled educators in the classroom. "That's why rewarding teachers, appreciating teachers is so very important. It's something we have not done enough of, frankly," Cuomo said. "We talk about funding and tests and evaluations, we don't say the talent and drive of the teacher is the most important." Cacciola-Price has taught at Frank Sinatra since 2013. Before coming to the school, the arts educator was an actor, director, playwright, choreographer, costume designer and set designer. According to Cuomo, Cacciola-Price used to travel to schools that couldn't afford an arts program and designed a program for them. He also worked with homeless LGBT youth at Sylvia's Place, a facility in Manhattan. Cacciola-Price is now pursuing his doctorate at New York University's Steinhardt School. He thanked Cuomo for choosing an arts educator to be included in the list of the state's top teachers. "Often times as an arts educator, you have to justify your purpose. In some schools, they don't have drama programs or music programs," he said. "The fact that you've taken the time to honor a drama teacher means the world to me and the students in this room." He recounted meeting Cuomo once at a 2011 rally during the state's passage of the marriage equality law, where he shook the governor's hand. "As a person who is gay and there are students in this room who are also gay, that legislation has made a huge difference in my life and will certainly matter to them," he said. "Maybe not now, but maybe in a few years." In front of a large group of students, Cacciola-Price said his drama classes teach students how to analyze, research and understand the human experience. Students become well versed in "issues of injustice in our society," he said, including LGBT issues, homelessness, gentrification and other social justice issues. They explore all of these subjects while improving their crafts as actors, director, designers and writers. Cacciola-Price directs four productions per season. He and the students spend up to three hours after school and all day on Saturdays to put on the plays. "The reason I do this is because of all of you who are here," he said to the students. "It is never a chore, it is always a pleasure. The reason for that is all of you." The governor was praised by both Principal Donna Finn and UFT president Michael Mulgrew for the $24.8 billion state investment in education in last year's budget. They both also held up the arts school as an elite, one-of-a-kind public school in New York. "This is a school that's a shining example that when you engage students, when they want to be in their school everyday, when they're learning things that make them happy, they're going to learn and perform and do great things in life," Mulgrew said. "Education is not just about the test or your subjects that you go to class for. Education is about building you as a whole person." Cuomo proudly boasted on Friday about the state's $2 billion investment in new technology in schools, in addition to new buildings and funding for other programs. "We spend more per student in this state than any state in the United States of America," he said, "and we're very proud of that."

A truancy officer at Atchison High School is charged with 11 counts of unlawful sexual relations after prosecutors said she had sex with a teenage student.
According to court documents, Heather Robinson had an ongoing sexual relationship with a boy from October 2012 until last month.
Investigators said Robinson had contact with the teen in her office at the school, at her home and at Warnock Lake and Atchison Watershed Dam.
The boy was 17 at the time the alleged relationship began. The age of consent in Kansas is 16.
Robinson has been charged because the nature of her job does not permit her to have sexual relationships with people of high school age.

Alissa's answers were all so very abstract, as if she were speaking of 'a skater' not necessarily herself.
Overall, she avoided saying where her skating is on a competitive scale. IMO, she won't be fully revved up for Nationals and most likely won't finish top two---USFS won't want to base Olympic spots on the performance of a 75% skater. Top 5 would be a respectable finish.
I hope she's able to do a good job! Just seeing her on the ice again will be wonderful, but I'm always anxious.
Every time Alissa takes the ice, I am anxious. I'm always expecting a splat on that opening jump. If she gets past that first pass without the splat, I can relax a bit!
We are all anxious , but she is always nice, and wonderful on ice!
Very beautiful performance for a first time out after an injury. Her layback is absolutely stunning! She looks like she is in great physical shape as well. She does need to skate with more speed going into the jumps though. I think that would alleviate two foot landings. I can't wait to see her at Nationals!
That SP is almost as good as any SP she has put out there in recent years.
Pretty good performance. I do agree she needs a little more speed so she doesn't botch the jumps. The lack of transitions is a bit of a concern....though she will rack up points on those spins -- beautiful!

Hello everyone!
I am just trying to apply for accommodation at the Uni of Birmimgham but i cant seem to find much information on it.
I would like self catered with an ensuite. I am mainly looking at
Elgar Court
Jarrett Hall
Tennis Courts
If anybody has any info or pictures or thoughts on these it would be so helpful! (such as atmosphere, distance from uni/shops etc, cost, thoughts in general)
Thank you in advance!!
University of Birmingham Accommodation :)

Elgar, Mason and TC are all on The Vale so roughly a 15 minute walk from campus. It's about 15 minutes from Tescos. Elgar is at the top of the hill on The Vale, so perhaps add another 5 minutes on for that to get to campus, or another 5 minutes from TC to get to Tescos (which is in the opposite direction to campus), but it's really not a substantial difference. There is a big difference between the price of Mason and Elgar, and Tennis Courts, though you probably know that.
Jarrett Hall is in Selly Oak and about a 10 minute walk to campus but only a minute from Aldi. It's no more than 10 minutes for Tesco Express or Sainsburys. I don't know much/anything about those halls on the inside, but would say it'll be a notably different 1st year experience living in Selly Oak rather than with the bulk of freshers on The Vale/Prichatts/in Edgbaston. Edgbaston is much more attractive but you develop a soft spot for Selly Oak :P
The impression I've always got of Elgar and Mason are relatively similar - well maintained and have lots of money in them. TC comes across as slightly more communal, as often people form friendships throughout their blocks there rather than just their flats (it's perhaps harder in Mason and Elgar to do that simply due to the fact that their connecting staircases are outdoors).
As with anything though, it'll end up being more about what you make of your time there, the people you live with, and the other people you befriend around the area.
Only just seen this. Thank you

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Dr. Edward Byrd was struck by how Dennis Lobbezoo carried himself when they met on a U.S. Navy medical ship off the coast of Vietnam in 1968. When the doctor learned that his former patient months later was killed in action, that first impression lingered.
Now, 45 years after removing shrapnel from the Grand Rapids soldier, the neurosurgeon who's studying art during his retirement has sculpted a bronze image of Lobbezoo that he hopes will find a home here.
"Grand Rapids seems like that's where it should go," said Byrd, who lives in Charleston, S.C. "I'd like to put it in Grand Rapids if Grand Rapids will have it."
Byrd was working as a general medical officer on the USS Repose in February 1968 when Lobbezoo and several other Marines were flown in with non-life threatening shrapnel wounds. Lobbezoo, a 1967 Creston High School graduate, three months earlier had spent Thanksgiving with his family in Grand Rapids between boot camp and his deployment to Vietnam.
Struck both by Lobbezoo's unusual name and by the soldier's calm, respectful demeanor, Byrd got to know him a bit during the few weeks that Lobbezoo recuperated. Lobbezoo then left the ship and, four months later, Byrd recognized the soldier's name in a military newspaper's list of people killed in action.
Lobbezoo's name stuck with Byrd through the ensuring decades and the doctor, who tired of playing golf in retirement and instead started earning art degrees, decided to craft a bronze sculpture of his former patient.
"I've always had this memory of Dennis in my mind and felt terrible about what happened to him, and I thought here's my chance: 'I'm going to make some kind of memorial to him,'" Byrd said. "It just seemed a terrible tragedy to me and it upset me a lot. Why does somebody like this who has all the qualities you'd want in a son of your own, why does he have to be over here in the mud and the jungle getting shot at?
"The other thing is the nobility of it. It seemed like he was the kind of person who said 'I've been called, I'm going to do my duty and then when it's over I'm going to get on with my life.' It was a terrible situation, but he seemed to be calm about it. He did it and I never heard him complain about it."
Byrd in September 2012 started making the statue in a form inspired by an ancient Greek sculpture called "The Dying Gaul." He wanted to remember Lobbezoo and "communicate the terrific personal cost to the guys over there (in Vietnam), the ones that got killed, the ones that lost arms or legs, were crippled for life, the psychological difficulties that many of them still deal with."
Last month, Byrd spoke about the sculpture to one of Lobbezoo's sisters, Marijo Pataniczek.
"I never heard of this man until Veterans' Day, that he had remembered (my brother) all of those years," the Grand Rapids woman said through tears. "It was something, I'll tell you that.
"It was a pretty awful time in our life in '68. There were no flags on the freeway or cheering people. All there were were protestors."
Byrd hopes the statue – 27 inches long and 14 inches high – can be displayed indoors on a pedestal. He contacted the city, which has invited him to begin a process of review by an Arts Advisory Committee, and he also would be interested in having it displayed at other sites.
"I know that wherever (the statue) ends up it will be where it's supposed to be," Pataniczek said.

Developing Rutherford delights in ton
Keep tabs on England Lions - click here for all the breaking news from the camp, exclusive interviews, match reports and much more
Lessons learned from a "naïve" performance in New Zealand's first tour match helped Hamish Rutherford return to form against England Lions.
Rutherford was the star of the opening day as the Black Caps began their final preparations for the two-match Investec Test series, which begins next week.
The opener powered his way to an unbeaten 116 on a rain-shortened opening day at Grace Road, helping the Black Caps to 184 for three after 44 overs.
"We want to win this game so, for me personally, it is nice to spend some time at the crease," he said.
"I have not batted a lot over here so to spend some time in the middle was massive.
"It was a good attack and early on it was a little testing. The pitch was a bit green and did a little bit. They're all very good bowlers and there were a few 'jaffas' flying around."
Rutherford is certainly a rookie when it comes to English conditions despite having had a spell playing in Scotland six years ago.
In his first experience of in England, he was bowled cheaply twice despite Derbyshire fielding an under-strength attack in New Zealand's first encounter since heading to these shores.
"I came over here with a reasonably open mind and was maybe a little naive last week," he admitted. "But I really tried to work hard leading into this game to do well."
Rutherford can now turn his attentions to the first Test at Lord's – a prospect he feels will be "very special".
"We did some training there last week so I had a bit of a walk around, trying to get a feel for it," he added.
"We have three days leading up to the game next week and will get the chance to absorb it because it will be a little much, obviously walking out.
"But you have just got to try and think of it as a normal cricket ground and not get too wound up on that sort of stuff."
The Lions will have perhaps hoped for more wickets after skipper Joe Root opted to bowl having won the toss.
However, Toby Roland-Jones, who claimed two of the three to fall, acknowledged that Rutherford proved tricky to bowl at.
He said: "He manufactures width pretty well, as he showed throughout his innings, and he's pretty aggressive with it as well.
"We certainly tried to straighten up on him, and maybe just restrict his flow of boundaries as much as anything.
"I certainly felt that, as the day wore on, we were probably a bit better at that and learned a bit more about him."

Perhaps He Forgot to Pay the Ferryman
Pity poor Chris de Burgh; fame in Tehran simply may not be in the cards.
Authorities in Iran have denied that singer Chris de Burgh is to play a live concert in Tehran, according to an Iranian news agency.
It had been reported in December that the Irish singer would perform with Iranian pop group Arian.
But IRNA reported that the Music Office of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance had not received a request for the show, nor issued a permit.
A spokeswoman for De Burgh said efforts to bring him to Iran were ongoing.
And, yes, I'm passing this important information on only because it gave me a chance to make a ridiculously bad joke. I'm remarkably stupid that way.
Read the story. Or just find some way to make a "Lady in Red" comment. Your choice, really.
Comments & Trackbacks
But I thought, according to Ahmadinejad, there are no fairy-men in Iran.

Perhaps trainer Anna Kournikova was right when she said their budding romance would be a distraction. But Limpert begs to differ. "People are going to doubt us, but we push each other so much we're strong together," she said during a conference call with reporters after her exit from the show.
While Medeiros has no problem gushing about his romance on the Ranch an in front of the cameras, Limpert says she's "very private."
"We met on the show so it makes sense," she said. "It's weird when he says I love you on TV, but it's very real so I'm okay with it."
Parting was sweet sorrow for the couple as they exchanged encouraging words. "He reminded me that I needed to go home and work my butt off for this marathon. And I reminded him that I might not be here, but I'm in your head and you'd better be working hard."
Limpert says splitting from original teammates Medeiros and Vinny Hickerson was "the hardest part of the season." And then came elimination after the new red team, which included John Rhode and Bonnie Griffin, lost the least amount of weight.
But Limpert is walking away from the show with a new outlook – and new training schedule as she prepares to run the end-of-season marathon. "I'm learning to respect myself and have better self esteem," she said. "I'm worth it."

The main proponent of archetypal theory in the twentieth century was C.G. Jung, and the Canadian critic and scholar Northrop Frye utilized archetypal theory in literary criticism, though Frye's approach differed substantively from Jung's position. The advent of postmodern theory initially dampened the interest and influence of archetypal theory, but in recent years many writers and scholars have responded to the misconceptions and misrepresentations often found in postmodern critiques of archetypal theory (see for instance, Hauke, 2000; Rowland, 2002). Jung addresses the relevance of archetypal theory in literature and the arts most clearly in The Spirit in Man, Art, and Literature (1966) which contains two significant …

Chelsea beat Wigan to take the top spot
Published 24/08/2008
Chelsea have returned to the top of the Premier League after a one-nil win at Wigan.
New signing Deco scored the game's only goal with an early free-kick.
Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari was relieved to see his team come through what he thought was a difficult test with three points.
``The result was more important than how we played,'' he said.
``It is difficult to play here against Wigan.
``They have a good squad and good organisation. They are athletic and they have
Wigan manager Steve Bruce was disappointed not to have taken at least a point
out of the match.
``We thought we deserved something out of it.
``Apart from the goal, which was a wonder strike from Deco, after that they
haven't really done that much against us," said Bruce.
``You can see why Deco has played at the highest level, he has that little bit
of extra quality.''

Memorial Day weekend is a United States tradition, and every year, the holiday is accompanied by the amazing NASCAR racing of the Coca-Cola 600 from the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
While the ending of the race was spectacular and the day of racing overall couldn't have been better, this event was far from perfect.
After Sunday's wild race, this is the good, bad and ugly of the 2013 Coca-Cola 600.
The Good: Kevin Harvick's Performance
This is Harvick's last year at RCR—he signed with Stewart-Haas Racing for 2014—but his performance Sunday proved that he is anything but a lame-duck driver.
Harvick and the No. 29 team are going for a championship.
Harvick won this race with pit strategy and on-track patience, and that's usually a great sign for teams in the Sprint Cup championship hunt.
The Bad: Long Race Causes Plenty of Problems
As expected, things got physical on the track, and there were plenty of cautions.
With bona fide stars like Dale Earnhardt Jr., Danica Patrick, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Jeff Gordon and more having bad luck Sunday night, this was one of the most intense Coca-Cola 600s in a long time.
The Ugly: Fox's Camera Screws Everything Up
Not only did the rope do serious damage to several cars on track and bring out the red flag—drivers like Kyle Busch and Marcos Ambrose were forced to do major work—10 fans were injured by the cord, according to Charlotte Motor Speedway (h/t ESPN).

Slidell Little Theatre will hold auditions Sept. 29 at 6 p.m. for "Goodnight Moon", and auditions Oct. 6-7 at 7 p.m. for "Gifts of the Magi." "Goodnight Moon" is SLT's first Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) production of 2013, and is being directed by Scott Sauber and Allee Peck. "Gifts of the Magi" is SLT's Christmas production, and will be directed by John Giraud.
In "Goodnight Moon," the audience will be invited to step into the Great Green Room as one of the most iconic children's books of all time is brought to life on stage. As with any child, the world of Bunny's imagination is never at rest. Goodnights must be said to EVERYTHING in the great green room before his head hits the pillow. But with each goodnight, something comes to life. In this lively musical, Bunny's room magically comes alive with tap dancing bears, the Cat and the Fiddle, the Cow Jumping Over the Moon, and even a trip through the night sky with a constellation light show. The show is suitable for children 3 and older.
"Goodnight Moon" is adapted from "GOODNIGHT MOON" © 1947 by Harper & Row (Text renewed 1975 by Roberta Brown Rauch. Illustrations renewed 1975 by Edith Hurd, Clement Hurd, John Thacher Hurd and George Hellyer, as Trustees of the Edith & Clement Hurd 1982 Trust.) It is used by permission of Harper-Collins Publishers. Adaptation is by Chad Henry 2006.
"Gifts of the Magi" is a heart-warming, captivating musical treat, drawn from two short stories by the immortal O. Henry. It is Christmas in New York, but for two young lovers, Jim and Della, the prospects are bleak as both are out of work and penniless. But as those familiar with the famous O. Henry story are aware, their dilemma is solved when both part with their most precious possessions (she her beautiful long hair, he his heirloom pocket watch) to buy presents for each other thereby creating, at least for a magical moment, an aura of warmth and giving in the cold, impersonal winter city. In addition to their story there are glimpses of various city folk going about their holiday business, and the hilarious plight of a cheerful bum who wants only to get arrested so he can spend the night in a cozy cell, all gracefully enhanced by tuneful songs and neatly tied together by a newsboy-narrator, Willy, who adds his own melodious contribution and informative observations to the delightful proceedings.
The music of "Gifts of the Magi" is by Randy Courts, with lyrics by Mark St. Germain and Randy Courts. Presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
Slidell Little Theatre is located at 2024 Nellie Drive, off of Fremaux Avenue, near the new Interstate10 interchange.

The Los Angeles Lakers began their off-season earlier than expected and hoped for as their season did not go the way that was planned. A massive and consistent amount of injuries to just about every player on the team were one of the biggest obstacles that prevented the Lakers into making much noise in the season and postseason.

The 49ers are scheduled to hold a tryout on Tuesday before determining what to do at the kicker position.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said the 49ers will either retain David Akers as their kicker, sign a veteran kicker to take Akers' place on the roster or keep two kickers and have them compete in practice to determine which player will handle the duties in the playoffs.
Akers, 38, is a six-time Pro Bowl kicker who had the worst regular season of his 15-year career. After setting the NFL record with 44 field goals last year, he opened this season with an NFL-record-tying 63-yard field goal against the Green Bay Packers. But this season, he has made just 69 percent (29 of 42) of his field-goal attempts. The NFL average this season is 84 percent.
The two kickers who will take place in the tryout, according to a league source, are:
Billy Cundiff
Cundiff, 32, has kicked in parts of nine NFL seasons with Dallas, New Orleans, Cleveland, Baltimore and Washington. After making just 7 of 12 field-goal attempts to open the season with Washington, he was released.
Prior to that, Baltimore also released him in August. Cundiff missed a potential tying 32-field goal attempt in the closing seconds of last year's AFC Championship game against New England.
In his career, Cundiff is a 75.5-percent kicker, making 139 of his 184 field-goal attempts. He was named to the AFC Pro Bowl team in 2010 after making 26 of his 29 field-goal tries.
Justin Medlock
Originally a fifth-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007, the left-footed kicking 29-year-old Fremont native has bounced around the NFL, CFL and UFL.
His resume includes stints with Kansas City, Toronto Argonauts (CFL), Omaha Nighthawks (UFL), Argonauts, Edmonton Eskimos (CFL), Hamilton Tiger-Cats (CFL) and Carolina. He was also on the offseason rosters of the St. Louis, Washington and Detroit but never appeared in any games with those teams.
Medlock has appeared in just 11 NFL games, including 10 this season with the Panthers. He made 7 of 10 field-goal attempts and all 23 extra points. He went 2 of 4 from 40 to 49 yards, and 0-for-1 from beyond 50. The Chiefs cut him after just one game in 2007, as he made one of his two field-goal attempts.

In recruiting, it is never over until signing day when recruits will put their names on letters of intent in gyms and offices all over the country. Some schools make late pushes in an attempt to get recruits to visit and change their verbal commitments. Current Kansas State commit Nate Prater says he is not having any of it.
"It is crazy. Iowa State, Kansas and Michigan keep calling and trying to get me to take visits. Michigan keeps trying to come back in the picture wanting me to take a visit up there. I keep telling them all I am a Wildcat but you know, that does not seem to be working. I keep saying, Nah, I am a Wildcat and I am not looking to change my decision. They still keep calling and writing me but really calling. I think I might have to call Coach Snyder and have him call these guys off. You know, No means No," Nate told KStateFans.
So how far are teams going towards trying to change Nate's mind?
"Well I can tell you that Iowa State was up at my schools today. I did not talk to them but they actually took our RB- Robert Wesley's scholarship away. I am not sure about that whole thing or why but they were looking to talk to me and luckily I got out of school at 12:30 today and could get out of there. Man, I need to hurry up and sign these papers," said Prater chuckling.
Prater who says his commitment to K-State is as solid as ever says he has already been working hard and getting ready for the season.
"Man I have been hitting it really hard. I want to be ready. When I get there all I want to do is get in there and start competing. I have been really working hard getting myself ready and trying to prepare. I have been going to the gym and working out 5 days a week. No slacking right now, just working and getting ready to go down there and play."
As for depth chart issues and where Nate sees himself in the rotation when he gets to campus- Prater who currently weighs close to 260 pounds with 4.8 speed says he has been told he will play early and often.
"I have talked to the coaches and right now, KSU only has two TE's on the roster. They travel with three so I know right there I will have a chance to see everything and work myself in but the coaches have been telling me they plan for me to play. I have the size they are looking for and will be able to play on both pass and runs downs, kind of like (Brian) Casey did for them last year. I know that I have a little more speed then Casey so they are going to use me a little differently."
The K-State coaching staff is regarded as some of the best in terms of tailoring offenses towards their personnel and this year holds a few new wrinkles in the offense and some plays already tailored to Prater's skills.
"There are a couple new plays this year that we will have on offense from the NFL. I know the coaches have taken a couple from the Chiefs that they use with their TE sets and will put those together for me this year. Think of Gonzalez and how much he blew up and how they use him and that is how they want to use me sometimes too. They have said that in some circumstances, depending on the team we are playing, they want me playing 90% of the snaps," said Prater.
The Coaching staff will be meeting with Nate this afternoon to go over instructions for signing his letter of intent to K-State and to discuss the Head Start program. Prater says he is just looking forward to getting down to Manhattan and for his phone to go back to normal.
"I cannot wait to be a Wildcat. The only thing stopping me is a piece of paper. I am going to be the first Wildcat to sign- you watch. And really, I would like to have my phone back. Man I never answer that thing anymore with all the schools calling and craziness, I pretty much have to screen all my calls."
In the crazy world of recruiting, this is one recruit the WildcatNation does not need to worry about.

Fat Bob's Smokehouse has become a beloved Allentown destination.
For those old enough to remember, it was once the short-lived Babalu. Look closely and you'll see a few relics in FB's décor, like the tiki hut/bridge above the main bar, metal shack ceiling and bamboo slats on bathroom doors. The rest is a fun episode of American Pickers (old signs, license plates, pictures, et al.), dressed up with gingham checks.
Located on the one-way Virginia Place (not Virginia Street), the "slightly-bigger-than-an-alleyway" has parking on both sides. Grab the first available spot, otherwise take another spin around the block, or park on another street.
Friend Joe readily accepted my Friday happy hour invite with, "I love Fat Bob's."
Who doesn't when the lure is drinks and fat food?
Stepping inside we let the sweet, smoky smell envelope us and headed to the bar, plopping onto stools with a relaxing sigh. (To my delight I located hooks under the bar for purses.)
What goes best with barbecue? Beer. And FB's has lots of it, including a huge variety of craft bottles. There are too many to list, and they change because there was a "3/29" date at the top of our menu. Drafts are readily available, too: Blue Point Spring Fling, Magic Hat, Southern Tier Brewery, Sam Adams, Troegs Nugget Nektar, Pyramid Weiss Cream, Dogfish Head, Guinness, Flying Bison … you get the idea. And yes, there are good old American beers too as well as limited release fruit beers, ciders and lemonades. Wine and mixed drinks round out the menu.
Joe went with a basic draft. A sucker for margaritas, I ordered a BobArita (a tequila and Grand Marnier concoction) from the specialty cocktail menu. Normally $8, it was $4 during happy hour. Unfortunately our bartender charged us regular prices. Once we pointed it out, he apologized and rectified by giving us the next round.
FB's is a great hangout. The sundry music (did I hear Katy Perry and Blondie?) keeps a hum but isn't overpowering. The crowd was mixed, too, and mostly low-key except for one guy randomly yelling "whooo" like a TV commercial! Perhaps pork smoke has that effect.
There are flat-screen TVs for sports enthusiasts, dartboards for the fidgety and a giant fish tank (another Babalu relic) for marine biologists. Above the bar, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Sam Adams and The Most Interesting Man in the World cutouts keep tabs on patrons.
I enjoyed the show next to me – a big guy with tats, Mohawk and piercings in a Detroit Red Wings shirt devouring a BBQ sandwich with the biggest sweet potato fries (wedges) I've ever seen. He offered one, but I declined as we planned to order, too.
The special bar menu offers fabulous selections half off during happy hour (except wings). It was a tough call. In the end it was sliders (pulled pork and beef brisket), barbecue smoked chicken wings and poutine (fries drowned in Cajun gravy, bacon, onion and melted cheese). Fat, fatter and fattest, served with a six-pack of Fat Bob's barbecue sauces and a napkin dispenser. Is there really anything better when imbibing a few?
It was then I noticed the neon "Porky's" sign above the bar. Homage to the pulled pork palace we were in? The 1980s cult classic flick? The name of the giant pig statue at the door? How we'd feel after polishing off the poutine?
Who cares? The weekend had begun and Fat Bob's was phat.

A down jacket that's ready for any weather.
Every skier dreams of a durable down jacket with fluffy warmth that can take a beating at the resort, which is what inspired Spyder to create the Men's Rocket Down Jacket. The 800-fill down insulation gives you the warmth you need on those soul-chilling days, and Spyder was kind enough to weld the baffles for long-lasting durability against the corduroy-cruising, ice-scraping, and snow-plowing adventures we call skiing. An Xt.L 20K membrane and fully taped seams keep you dry in wet weather, and waterproof zippers over all external openings give this jacket waterproof protection in ways that your hardshell might not even dream of. A DWR coating on the rugged Pertex Shield shell adds even more durability and protection against snow storms, and the nylon lining offers all the stretch you need to rip pow, shred trees, and hike for secret stashes.
The Rocket Down also features underarm vents to let out some steam when the shredding heats up and a snap-back powder skirt to keep snow out of your skivvies when things get deep. The adjustable, insulated hood is removable when there's nothing but sunny skies overhead, and a series of pockets keeps you organized and prepared when you're on the hill.

Along came a Spyder
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
Along came a Spyder and Ill ski right by you. Ive found my new brand, Spyder Ski clothing fits and feels great, high quality and a even better with the huge savings. A cool looking and very warn down jacket.
Super Toasty, Good Looks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I didn't buy this jacket to ski in, though I think it would do just fine. I have other jackets like the Spyder Pinnacle which do the trick, though in my experience in Colorado, proper layering is the most important thing for skiing. No, I bought this jacket because I wanted a really warm down jacket that didn't make me look like I was trying to destroy Manhattan in the Ghostbusters movie. I have lighter Mountain Hardwear and North Face down jackets, and a Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL that is bomber, but pretty puffy. This Rocket Down jacket is every bit as warm as my puffy Sub Zero jacket, but considerably more attractive. It has a more tapered, fitted look, with a stretchy water resistant shell and soft inside lining. It is pretty water resistant, but this is not Gore-Tex. I wore it in a 33 degree downpour, and it did pretty well but there was some saturation by the end of the day. The hood is stuffed with down and really warm, but it's huge and square, just odd looking, but it will do the job. As for size, Spyder jackets are an athletic cut. I'm 5'8", 150 pounds, and the medium fits me well, with a little extra room for layering, but I have the small in the Spyder Pinnacle jacket, so small would likely have worked as well. My guess is the medium is probably good up to 5'10" before you'd want to consider the large. Bottom line is that this is a great down jacket for really cold temps that also looks great.
Could be better
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Large
This jacket fits a little small... I am 6'4" and thin... sometimes I can fit into a Large. Not with this jacket... the Large is way too small around my shoulders and too short in the arms. I assume the XL would fit, but overall, I was not impressed so I returned it for a different jacket.
I was looking for a really really warm down jacket, and this one doesn't quite cut it. First of all, the hood doesn't cut it (see below). Also, the front of the collar is very short... barely comes up to your chin, so you will need a neck gator with this jacket. And the chest pocket is on the smaller side.
The material and construction seem good... the zippers are nice. I like the design. I'm not a big fan of the hood, which is removable, and there are gaps where it doesn't attach. The hood is not oversized. Although it fits over a helmet, it won't provide full protection. You'll need a neck gator.
Also, the pit zips are more like arm zips, and they're not very long at all. They start near your arm pit and go out towards your elbows, but they do not cross over your armpit down to your torso. Not impressed.

text: Thank You, Jimmy Howard. PENS LOSE. Posted by on Mar 23, 2010 12:27 ShareTweet You have to admit it was cute. Watching the Red Wings scurrying around on their home ice, their playoff lives on the line. In front of a crowd that just does not know what to expect from their team anymore. Meanwhile, the Pens went into the Joe and pretty much looked at it as an experiment. Minus Geno, Bylsma puts Poni on Talbot's line. That was the red flag. The Pens need Talbot to come around in time for the playoffs, and Bylsma picked this game to kick him in the ass. But it was a no go. It just wasn't meant to be. The defending Second Best Team In The NHL™ just wouldn't be denied. Henrik Zetterberg, in all his 29 years of age, put his shaky team on his back. All the while taking pride in stifling a 22-year-old. Detroit blogs and even Detroit newspapers are only talking about one thing this morning. All we can say is thank christ Jimmy Howard came to Sid's rescue. Todd Bertuzzi looked like he was on another neck-breaking crusade. At least he doesn't attack people from behind anymore. But Howard saved Crosby's lunch. Thank you, Jimmy. Still, this has everyone in Detroit beating off about it for some reason. This is something Howard had to do. He's hoping Wings fans remember this when he crushes their hopes in the coming weeks. And the fans know it's coming. That's the best part. Moving right along. 5 Read in a game recap somewhere the Pens were 5 points away. Boston and Atlanta are 8 and 9 seeds. They play tonight, canceling out a point in the equation somewhere. Right away, Crosby sucks apparently. Steve eyeinjury and Babcock didn't think so a little over a month ago. The Wings get the first PP when Feds gets the stick into a guy named "Meech." Meech gets away with holding Feds' stick. A lot of shit happened in those next two minutes. To the injured eye, it looked like the Wings were offside, but they weren't. And then Lidstrom found himself in a familiar position. Pretty much a carbon copy of him letting his team down late in Game 7. Another MAF save. A great save on Flippulplpla closed out the PK. After the kill, Crosby gets blatantly held. Not sure where Crosby got the reputation for crying. That was probably the most obvious non-call we've ever seen against Sid. Franzen takes a dive on the near boards. Here's a re-creation of the event: Franzen's mediocrity wasn't done. He works and draws a penalty on Gonchar. Then he intentionally puts his stick behind Gonch's knee to trip him. And he is for some reason incredulous at the call. Wow. The ensuing 4-on-4 was boring. Talbot carried the puck into the Wings zone. Were there any boos? Hard to tell. A Wings fan in attendance may have sneezed or something. Talbot should have garnered the loudest boos. Just doesn't make sense. Gonchar capped off a miserable first period with another penalty. But the Pens kill it again. The Wings beat the Pens to the scoreboard when Flippulllpaapa curled, drug, and beat MAF. Roughly 10 months too late. 1-0. We lost our train of thought after we saw Chris Osgood trying to kiss the Wings' trainer. The rest of the game is pretty much a blur. Zetterberg scored. 2-0. But the Pens stayed hungry. Evidenced by how they scored. 2-1. Zetterberg ended lives with another goal to start the third. 3-1. In your mouth all night. Numerous blogs saying this was one of Z's best games of the season. Kind of sad. Pens kept coming, but no dice. Game. The defending Second Best Team In The NHL™ lives to fight another day. Wish we could say "See you in June." Now the ultimate test awaits: Connecting Ted Leonsis to Freemasonry. ShareTweetPenguins Tickets About View all posts by →

Paul du Quenoy, Ph.D., Series Editor
Academica Press, an independent scholarly publisher, is proud to announce the creation of a new series entitled "Research in Cultural and Intellectual History." This list, edited by Paul du Quenoy (Department of History, American University in Cairo), is a forum for cutting edge work that pushes traditional disciplinary boundaries or provocatively revisits conventional topics. Manuscripts in the series will ideally be devoted to eclectic and under-explored issues in cultural and intellectual studies and make imaginative uses of theory and method. While addressed primarily to historians, the series also hopes to appeal to active scholars in philosophy, literature, cultural and regional studies, the arts, anthropology, and political science.
The series editor will gladly consider proposals for completed unpublished manuscripts and for prospective book-length research projects, though some preference will be given to the former.
Please direct all proposals and related inquiries (e-mail preferred) to:

|Here are some details about my project:
|Whimsical, Cute, Funky
What was your source for this sewing project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Mary Adams' 'The Party Dress' circle skirt pattern
What materials did you use? 5 different polka dot fabrics * ribbon (for skirt ruffles) * turquoise fabric (for petticoat can-can ruffle) * black jersey fabric (for circle skirt base & petticoat) * hooks & eyes (for back closure) * thread (I used various colors to contrast w/the different fabrics)
What are you most proud of? Being able to use up these pieces of fabric I had was fun, it's a great way to use up all those scraps!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I used Mary's circle pattern simply b/c that's where my inspiration sprang from. You could use this idea in many other forms... the off-centered eye-candy could be applied to an A-line or even something like a 3-paneled skirt. Just put your imagination to work & let it go from there!

A SECURITY guard who tried to sell stolen copies of the latest Harry Potter novel appeared in court yesterday, where he admitted theft and possessing an imitation firearm.
Aaron Lambert, 20, stole two copies of Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince from the distribution centre where he worked in Corby, Northamptonshire, on 2 June this year, six weeks before JK Rowling's latest instalment in the Potter saga was due to be released.
He was arrested the next day after two deals with national newspaper reporters went wrong and armed police swooped on his flat.
Lambert appeared at Northampton Crown Court yesterday, where he also admitted possessing an imitation Walther PPK pistol with intent to cause fear of violence.
Matthew Brookes-Baker, prosecuting, told the court that Lambert brandished the gun in front of reporter John Askill during negotiations to sell the books. Mr Askill, the court heard, told police that the defendant pointed the gun at him and later fired the weapon as he fled from Lambert's flat in Kettering.
Lambert, who denies pointing the weapon at Mr Askill, will face a trial of issue before a judge into whether or not he pointed the gun at the reporter during the stand-off.
Lambert was remanded into custody by Recorder Richard Benson, QC, until that hearing at a date yet to be fixed.

Hi all, Just wondering if the save points in Zelda Twilight Pricess should be hours apart, or am I missing something here?. When turning the game on all the equipment that I had obtained is still there but I'm literally hours further behind than the point at which I saved.
