Coaches and players from the Ashley Ridge girls' and Summerville boys' soccer teams are joining forces this summer to help youngsters develop their athletic skills.
This week 13 student athletes from the two teams served as instructors for the first session of the 2013 Ashley Ridge Soccer Camp. A second five-day session is scheduled for July 8-12, also at Ashley Ridge High School.
The camp, for players age 3 through 12, is designed to teach campers the basics of soccer. It is open to players of all ability levels.
"We hope our less experienced campers learn the proper techniques of playing soccer," Ashley Ridge Girls' Soccer Head Coach Mark Weaver said. "We concentrate on being able to pass, dribble, shoot, receive, and juggle correctly. They develop these skills while having a great time at camp."
For the second year, the staff is also having an elite soccer camp in conjunction with its youth camp. The elite portion of the camp is designed for players who are ready to be challenged with a more difficult regiment of activities that will enhance their dribbling, passing and shooting skills. Participants must have at least three years of playing experience and be at least 10-years-old.
"Our Elite Camp has been a great success," Weaver said. "The players that attend this part of camp benefit from continuous work on their technical skills while developing the movement and vision needed to play at higher levels."
Weaver and SHS Boy's Soccer Head Coach Jason Rasner supervise the staffs for both parts of the camp.
This summer 105 campers attended the first session. Registration for the second session is open. Camp tuition is $60 per session and includes a camp T-shirt. Camp for younger players will run from 9-11 a.m. daily while the camp for older players will run through noon.
For more information on the camps, call 695-4900 extension 52150 or email mweaver@dorchester2..k12.sc.us.

TV and film actress with ears like satellite dishes, shoulders like Dennis Rodman and abs like Bernard Hopkins, no chest and slim hips...despite some manly features, she has a very feminine voice and probably delivered the only genuine performance in the overrated film Juno...Men who find her attractive are likely repressing homosexual tendencies...
I thought that transvestite was Jennifer Garner.

All my colleagues are on holiday – how can I stick to my diet?
Sometimes it seems like everyone is off on their annual holiday – except you. Whether you've used up all your annual leave already, or whether you're waiting till mid-September to avoid the hiked prices during the school break, you've ended up stuck in the office while your colleagues are off enjoying themselves. And, of course, you're coping with three people's workload in addition to your own, trying to manage without a couple of crucial team members, and struggling to deal with the emergencies which crop up. To add insult to injury, your absent workmates have sent postcards to say how much they're enjoying their two weeks in the sun…
No wonder the summer is a tricky time for office dieters. Here's how to cope with the empty desks, and even use this time to your diet's advantage.
Don't take on too much work
Many of us find it hard to say "no", especially when someone's asking for a favour. But you don't need to agree to check everyone's email while they're away – nor should you let them dump all their outstanding tasks on you when they dash off to the airport. Be realistic about how much you can take on – and remember you have your own work to deal with.
If you find yourself swamped with work, figure out what's really urgent and what can wait until colleagues return. Don't be afraid to approach your manager and ask for some support or advice: it's not in anyone's interests if you run yourself into the ground. You might want to read how to stop workplace boredom and stress from ruining your diet, if you're regularly finding yourself stressed and overwhelmed.
Carry on good dieting and exercising habits despite the lack of colleagues
If you've formed a diet group with colleagues, or meet them weekly after work for a game of badminton or basketball, it can be difficult to suddenly lose that support network. Instead of heading to the leisure centre with your workmates on Wednesday evening, you might find yourself replacing the gap in your week with a less-than-healthy alternative like a pub trip or a takeaway pizza.
Make sure you have an alternative in place before hand: sign up for a gym class to fill your regular exercise slot, or replace your diet group with a magazine or book. Don't use the fact that your colleagues are away as an excuse for a "week off": having to slave away in the office while they're all away and putting on weight won't put you in the best of moods for their return…
Make the most of having a quiet office
If your office is empty, now is the time to break out those smelly and loud foods that you've been too embarrassed to bring into work until now. It's also a good chance to give the office fridge a good clean-out . . .
Some workplaces tend to have a lot of snacks around, brought in by well-meaning colleagues, and the absence of these workmates can provide a welcome respite from temptation. While they're all away, be extra-good … don't bring in your own chocolate cookies. No doubt many of your colleagues will return from their holidays laden with exotic treats, and you want to be able to enjoy one or two without feeling at all guilty.

If you have never seen the Robin Williams movie "What Dreams May Come," this would be a terrible time to do so. If you don't believe me, read this synopsis of the screwy plot. Seriously, just don't.
It's a terrible, terrible movie, not the least because of its depiction of suicide — or, rather, what happens to people who commit suicide. I don't think I'm giving away the store to say they go to Hell. (There's some blather about how it's a Hell of their own creation or some such, but still: Hell.)
This bothered me no end when I saw the movie and it bothers me still. I haven't known many people who killed themselves, but I'm pretty sure they do so because they see no other way. If their pain were physical instead of emotional, no one would suggest such people were deserving of any punishment.
I thought the movie was dangerous nonsense, and I still do.
And now, some red pandas.

Analyst: State taxes coming in $4B above forecast
Extra revenue likely will go to education funding
California is on track to collect $4 billion more in personal income taxes than Gov. Jerry Brown had expected, giving a potential boost to education funding.
The Legislative Analyst's Office said Tuesday that the state has been posting strong tax collections so far this fiscal year. Personal income taxes are the state's largest revenue source.
The current fiscal year ends June 30.
California had two huge tax collection days since the April 15 filing deadline. That came on top of a strong revenue month in January.
Even so, Brown cautioned that the extra money may already be committed. He and the legislative analyst noted that much or all of the extra revenue will likely be required to go to public schools and community colleges.

Minimalism & Its Legacy
April 14, 2007, 11 am - 5 pm
All Events
The Institute of Visual Arts (Inova) launches an interdisciplinary investigation of Minimalism and its legacy with two exhibitions, Paper Thin and Maximinimalist, and a day-long cross-disciplinary event, Minimalism & Its Legacy, that will explore minimalism and its legacy through performances, installations, screenings and a symposium.
Barbara Rose, writing in Art in America in 1965, described Minimalism as an "antidote" to the ever-busier environment of proliferating images and information of the late 1950s and early '60s. In their time, the clean lines, solid forms and simple colors of Minimalist art gave sharp focus to a new set of ideas, at once threateningly experimental and resolutely formal. Aesthetics turned inward, toward conceptions of mind and away from the wild, unpredictable gestures of the hand.
Inevitably, Minimalism gave way to Pop Art's far messier reflections and depictions of the proliferative culture. Still, the reductive tenets of Minimalism have held fast through succeeding generations. Though conscripted into advertising and pop culture-where a few seconds of silence or a blank page in a magazine will surely grab attention-the minimalist aesthetic can still arrest an ever more profligate flow of images, ideas and content across the spectrum of meaning.

Don't blame administrators for students' bad behavior
A recent News article regarding the high rates of student suspensions in the Buffalo schools was really alarming. Some parents, grandparents and even community activists took administrators to task for levying discipline for "minor infractions." Examples cited were students who were tardy, using cellphones and roaming the halls. I find it incredulous that once again, misguided people are blaming teachers and administrators for their own kids' bad behavior.
Schools are places where we send our kids to learn. These same kids who regularly break the rules also make it more difficult for those who are attempting to get a quality education. If the suspension of troublemakers leads to them ultimately dropping out, that would be unfortunate. However, it's better to have them gone if their absence creates an atmosphere where others may actually learn.
Even more disturbing to me was the insinuation that race was involved in suspensions. In the interest of full disclosure, I am a white guy from the suburbs. However, I am confident that the district's policies regarding cellphones, roaming the halls and tardiness apply to all races.

Winter concert was a grand performance
It was indeed my honor to be invited to the annual winter concert at Hillery Park Elementary School in Buffalo. I was treated to an excellent performance by the Hillery Park Huskies Concert Band, the Elementary Chorus, the Hillery Park Wind Ensemble and the Middle School Chorus. The two choral groups each included a song sung in Latin, apparently not a dead language at Hillery Park.
The work put into this concert by both the teachers and the students was clearly evident. With so many bad comments about teachers and students surfacing in the news lately, it was a pleasure to see this grand performance. I applaud the fine, dedicated teachers who put this concert together and the students who found time for both schoolwork and membership in band and/or chorus. Bravo!

Remembering family dog who enriched lives
I grew up on a dairy farm that my parents owned near Salamanca. About 50 years ago, during the coldest and snowiest days that we could ever remember, a stray dog came around to our place. It was a half-starved collie with a belly swollen with a litter of puppies due at any time. Some heartless coward had dropped her off, with no concern for her future.
My father was not a sentimental man, but nevertheless took pity on the dog. We fed her and when her time was due, put a heating lamp out in the shed where she could give birth to her puppies. She gave birth to a litter of eight or nine. But she was so emaciated that Dad couldn't imagine how she could nurse all of the puppies without putting her own life in peril; nor could we afford to raise and keep that many dogs. So he put down all but one of the pups.
The collie grew in strength and, because of her gentle manners, was named Lady. She became a wonderful cow dog and very attached to my father. One of my favorite memories of her was of tugging on Dad's pant legs in the morning, eager to accompany him out to our pasture to round up the cows for milking. Dad was heart-broken several years later when she died in a farm accident.
Whenever I read about the problems of the SPCA in Niagara County and all the passions its operation has aroused, I think of Lady and how she enriched our lives. I just wish the passion could be directed toward improving its service and away from fixing blame for past actions. Let Barbara Carr investigate the sins of the past and if any were due to deliberate cruelty and not just bureaucratic ineptness, then let the laws of our land punish the guilty. Otherwise, let's move on to a better future.

Mayor has no plan to resurrect Buffalo
The Buffalo Niagara Region received great news from the governor during his State of the State message -- $1 billion to help revive Buffalo's economy. You would expect that the mayor of Buffalo would want to tell everyone about his grand economic plans that he has been working on for the past six years. No, not this mayor. He refuses interview requests from the major newspaper in the area.
His spokesman implies that the administration has this covered, stating: "What do you think Brendan [Mehaffy] and the Office of Strategic Planning do?" Excellent question! I would hope they would be developing plans to proactively reverse the decline of the city. I would hope the action items would include steps to make the city less reliant on state and federal handouts and become self-sustaining. But as they say, actions speak louder than words.
The fact that the mayor and his administration would rather remain hidden away in their ivory tower instead of sharing their plans for resurrecting this city leads me to believe that this mayor has no plan! He has no vision for greatness. He has no desire to make this city prosperous. Why? Because he and his colleagues are not capable of doing so. They are career politicians who have never spent a day in the real world having to earn a living. All they know is how to accept handouts and squander opportunities.

Save handicapped spots for those truly in need
I have been in many cities in my lifetime. One thing I believe Western New York has more of than any city I have ever witnessed is handicapped parking spaces. Which is wonderful! Thank goodness they are available for those with disabilities to be able to use as needed.
But as I have witnessed, we also have a record number of people using those spaces who are healthy and just too lazy to walk an extra 10 or 20 paces to park like the rest of us.
I have a 93-year-old mother-in-law, and to this day she tells me not to use that space for her. The next time you are out shopping or dining out, sit and watch the handicapped area and see who parks there.
My favorite is at the casinos. A car pulls up and the violator parks, lights a cigarette and runs into the casino. How these people live with themselves puzzles me. Oh yes, I get it, they don't care! The next time you see such abuse, call these drivers out, call a cop, but do something. By doing this you will be helping the real handicapped people.

FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev after 2011 tip
WASHINGTON -- The Russian FSB intelligence security service told the FBI in early 2011 that Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings, was a follower of radical Islam, two law enforcement officials said.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died in a shootout, and his younger brother was captured alive. They were identified by authorities and relatives as ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade.
According to an FBI news release, a foreign government said that based on its information, Tsarnaev was a strong believer and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the U.S. for travel to the Russian region to join unspecified underground groups.
The FBI did not name the foreign government, but the two law enforcement officials identified the FSB as the provider of the information to one of the FBI's field offices and also to FBI headquarters in Washington. The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak.
The FBI said that in response, it interviewed Tsarnaev and relatives, and did not find any domestic or foreign terrorism activity.

We've spent a lot of time in this chapter going through various ways to view and navigate your artwork. In this movie, I'll cover the other side of the equation a little bit by showing you how to hide your artwork so that you can access various overlapping elements or simply see something that might be lurking behind it. And I'll also show you how to lock your artwork to prevent any unnecessary edits or accidental deletions. So first things first, let's take a look at how to hide various parts of our artwork. The first thing I need to do is find a piece of artwork that I need to hide.
So for instance, I might want to hide this area here, this black background area here. If I want to hide that to see what's underneath it, I can simply go to the Object menu, choose Hide and choose Selection. When I do that, it automatically hides that particular object on my artboard. You'll also notice in the Layers panel that there's not a little eyeball next to that part of the layer. That's because essentially what I've done through a menu command is come down here to the Layers panel and tap the little eyeball icon. You could come down here and do this in the Layers panel yourself if you wanted to as well, no big deal.
This allows me to see what's behind this, so I can actually see this painted background here. If I want to bring it back, I can go to Object, I can go down to Show All, and it comes right back. Unfortunately, you don't get granular control when it comes to showing artwork that you've hidden. It's an all or nothing kind of thing. But in this case, I only hide one item so showing it all again, no big deal. Now let's say, for instance, that I didn't want to be able to edit the stuff in the background; either the painted background or this black background here. I can simply lock that artwork and make it un-editable.
There are two ways to do that, the first of which is really easy and it comes from the Layers panel. Let me bring out the Layers panel so you can see it. Inside of the Layers panel, you'll notice I have the Background layer here. If I want to lock the artwork on the Background layer, I can simply come right next to it and put a lock next to it. Once I do that, two locks appear underneath it, indicating the sublayers have been locked as well. Now when I come out here, notice I cannot click to select it, I can't move it, I can't do anything to it, but everything on top of it remains completely editable.
If I want to unlock it, I can click this lock icon here and it unlocks the artwork, making it easily selectable again, where I can move it and manipulate it again. However, if I wanted to do this via a command from the menu, or let's say I didn't want lock the whole layer, I can just select the object, in this case, the black background, choose Object > Lock, and then I could choose Selection. You could also hit the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+2 or Command+2, that's going to instantly lock whatever you have selected. Once I do that, I can't click on the background, but I can select the object behind it, this painted background here so you'll notice when I click, I can drag it to move it out of the way.
So undo that, let's say I wanted to lock this piece as well. I'll hit Ctrl+2 on my keyboard or Command+2 on the Mac. Now when I try to click it, not possible. Now what if I wanted to unlock the artwork? I can go to Object > Unlock All, or on my keyboard, press Alt+Ctrl+2, or on a Mac, it'll be Option+Command+2. If I click that, the artwork is now fully editable again and I can click on each individual piece.
Locking and hiding artwork is a great way to get access to hidden pieces in your project and also to prevent it from being modified or destroyed by pesky coworkers. Remember though, when you're sharing artwork with somebody, especially a commercial printer or a web developer who isn't familiar with the artwork you're sending them, be sure to either unlock the artwork or inform them that you have locked pieces in your composition. If you don't, this could cause some serious headaches for both you and them down the road.

Cedarcrest pitches a shutout over Islanders
by Doug Sage
Valley View Sports Reporter
The Cedarcrest Red Wolves football team traveled to Mercer Island for last Friday night's game against the Islanders and pitched a near-perfect game, winning 14-0.
With their first shutout since the final game of the 2000 season against Mt. Si, the Red Wolves' defense stepped up to the plate and allowed only eight yards rushing to the Islanders.
Led by Robbie Westerman (nine tackles) and Alan Shults (seven tackles), the Red Wolves kept the pressure on all night long.
Shultz, Westerman, Josh Rosen and Derek Foote anchored a tough Cedarcrest defense that just would not allow the Islanders to mount any offensive momentum until very late in the contest.
Russell McGinnis carried the day with two interceptions, one to end a first-half drive deep in Red Wolf territory and the other to set up the Red Wolves with great field position in the second half.
Four fumble recoveries by Cedarcrest kept their offense on the field and Mercer Island desperately searching for answers on their brand new turf.
Mercer Island came into the game with a plan to shut down the state's leading receiver in Cody Petterson. Petterson came into the game with eyepopping numbers of 15 catches for 334 yards and three touchdowns.
What the Islanders didn't count on was that shutting down Petterson meant someone else would be wide open.
Taking advantage of single coverage, Kyle Eldred made the most of it and hauled in four passes for 71 yards and one touchdown.
Manin Dubois looked for open receivers all night and found several to run his totals to 16 of 30, 168 yards, one touchdown, one interception. Jake Ballingham, and Russell McGinnis were the recipients of the throws that didn't go to Petterson or Eldred.
The running game became a high priority for the Red Wolves as Tommy Harding kept his banner year going with a solid effort of 24 rushes and 72 yards with one touchdown.
Running behind his big offensive line of Westerman, Chittenden, Ly, Russell Knight at center and Sean Mace at tackle, Harding used their timely blocks to score from eight yards out in the 3rd quarter to put urgency into the Islanders game which they couldn't overcome.
This night, though, belonged to the defense. Cedarcrest kept the Islanders off balance all night with their quickness, and delivered the knockout blow late in the game.
Mercer Island had the ball with first and goal with 2:06 to play in the game at the Red Wolf 5 after two long passes had gained 75 of their 221 yards through the air.
Cedarcrest got busy and stuffed the run, tipped a pass, then Mercer Island had a penalty to move the ball back to 4th and goal from the Cedarcrest 12.
Josh Rosen applied the tourniquet as he broke through and sacked the Mercer Island quarterback at the 23, ending the threat and giving the Red Wolves a hard fought victory.
After the game, the team expressed their pleasure at this being a big team win.
Kyle Eldred was quick to pass around the kudos to his teammates.
"Our goal was to come out and play tough in the 4th quarter, get it done in the 2nd half, and we did that," he said. "You've got to hand it to the team, it was a team thing tonight."
Robbie Westerman said, "We didn't want to give up any points, we wanted the shutout. We haven't had a shutout as long as I can remember. We had something to prove as a Cedarcrest defense."
Coach Eric Hansen of the Red Wolves commented, "Our gameplan was to stick with our base set on defense, and our challenge was they would come out in an open spread formation. We had to adjust to a cover 2 and we haven't played a lot of that. We're going to practice it more and more this season. Overall, the defense was real tough."
Evidence to support that was safety Dan Merrick. Merrick was solid all night with six tackles and had the hit of the game. Late in the 4th quarter Mercer Island had found a pass play that could gain them yards.
By running a quick out to Danny Schwartz, Mercer Island could turn the ball upfield and sustain some momentum. Merrick sniffed out the play and in one hit, planted Schwartz for no gain just as he caught the ball. Definitely the stick of the game.
Next up, the Totems from Sammamish come to town to open the new Red Wolf stadium at Cedarcrest High School. The stadium construction is on track, and barring any weather delays will be ready for kick off by 7:30 Friday night.
Check out the website www.redwolvesfootball.com for the latest about the game location. It should be an exciting contest on the new turf. Go Red Wolves!!

Our View: Horton, other new faces will energize County Council
Erie County Council will have new faces in the immediate future and in the long run, thanks to the actions of Erie County voters.
On Nov. 5, Democrat Andre Horton defeated Republican Ned Smith as well as Lisa Austin, a Democratic write-in candidate, for the 2nd District seat that had been held by Joe Giles.
Giles had served on County Council since 1982, but such a lengthy tenure won't be repeated. By wide margins, voters also approved three-term limits for County Council and the county executive. Incumbent County Council members Fiore Leone, Phil Fatica, Carol Loll and Kyle Foust, who weren't up for election this time, have only two four-year terms remaining.
Horton will be joined by Democrat Jay Breneman, who ran unopposed after beating incumbent Ronald "Whitey" Cleaver for the 4th District seat in the May primary, and by Republican Edward DiMatteo, who also ran unopposed after defeating Trish Shoulders in the 6th District primary. County Council had appointed DiMatteo to replace Ebert Beeman, who was barred from office after his 2012 felony fraud conviction.
With the Beeman drama in the past and with term limits the rule for the future, we expect Horton, Breneman and DiMatteo to bring fresh ideas and new perspectives to County Council. At 31, Breneman is the youngest council member. Horton is the first African American elected to Erie County Council since it was created in 1978. In fact, Horton is the first African American elected to any countywide office. The county's website, www.eriecountygov.org, has a "culture and diversity" link on the home page. Now council reflects that diversity.
The 2nd District is home to some of Erie's poorest neighborhoods, and as many local leaders have stressed, our region's economic health depends on a vibrant central core. We look forward to hearing Horton's ideas on how to improve Erie's economy with support for new developments, job training and education.

The former White House intern sat down for her first television interview since 2003 and told the National Geographic Channel that the 1998 release of the 445-page report detailing her affair with then-President Bill Clinton took public mortification to a whole new level.
"That was one of the worst days of my life," Lewinsky, now 40, told the cable channel for its three-part special, The '90s: The Last Great Decade?, which debuts Sunday and was previewed on Today Tuesday. "I was a virgin to humiliation of that level until that day."
The new interview comes just two months after Lewinsky published a revealing essay in Vanity Fair, breaking a decade of near silence.
"It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress," she wrote, adding that she also needed to stop "tiptoeing around my past – and other people's futures."
In the TV interview, Lewinsky speaks candidly about the toll that the media coverage took on her psyche when news of the scandal broke.
"To be called stupid, and a slut and a bimbo, and ditzy, and to be taken out of context, it was excruciating," she says.
Equally excruciating: Being all of 22 and at the center of independent counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation into the affair.
"To have my narrative ripped from me, and turned into The Starr Report, and things that were turned over or things they delved out of my computer that I thought were deleted. I mean, it was just violation after violation," she says.
Friends say the long-reticent Lewinsky recently decided to become more vocal because of two events: the 2010 bullying-related suicide of college student Tyler Clementi (he was publicly humiliated for kissing another man), and her 40th birthday last July.
"It was a life changer," her close friend tells PEOPLE of her decision to speak out after her landmark birthday. "She realized it was important for her to do something with what she had been through."

I can't tell the genders because they are so small so I am wondering is there anyway I can tell their gender when they are so young?
Some of them are developing orange markings under their belly kind of where the "gravid" spot would be, but since they are dalmation with black spots, I can't tell if it is a gravid spot or a spot.
I never noticed the orange markings before until today. It is just like a couple orange spots on the belly that come all together to make one big spot if that makes any sense. I think it is on two of my baby mollies and they are rather large in the belly. Could this mean babies already?! Or is it just some more coloration coming in? The mom is dalmation but I have no idea who the father is since she was pregnant when I brought her home from the LPS. They kept her in with all different colors of mollies, platies, and cories. So maybe the father was orange and they will have orange in them as well?
Someone please help me. If pictures would help I'll glady take a few although they might not come out very well.
My camera isn't that good and they get spooked by every movement so here are some pics:

Understanding BATNA
|Email Print
BATNA is a well known negotiation acronym that stands for "best alternative to the negotiated agreement."
If you're familiar with the concept of opportunity cost, then BATNA will sound very familiar. The idea behind opportunity cost is that the price of something isn't just the number listed on the tag. There's an opportunity cost involved and that cost is the price of the next best alternative. Let's say you have two potential events you can attend this weekend. You can either go to a movie or go to a concert. The opportunity cost of going to the movie is the enjoyment you would've experienced if you went to the concert instead. The opportunity cost of going to the concert is the enjoyment you would've experienced if you went to the movie instead. So the cost of the movie is not only the ticket but concert enjoyment. Got it?
BATNA is a similar idea. When you're negotiating anything, it's important to know the other side's BATNA. You're trying to create a win win situation, so you have to create wins for the other side. If you know their next best offer is worth $10, you can offer a $9 solution. They would simply say no and go to their BATNA. You want to know how much their next offer is worth and offer something better.
Here's a simple example. You are walking around a flea marketwhen you eye a purse on the rack, priced at $30. You start talking to the store's proprietor and try to haggle down the price. What is the store owner's BATNA?
Is it the rack price? Maybe. If it's been flying off the rack, then you probably can't negotiate with the owner because the BATNA is to wait until the next shopper comes. But what if sales have been slow? If the BATNA is that the purse sits for a week or two before it sells, then maybe the owner takes less in profit but improves the store's cash flow or reduces inventory?
Finally, sometimes you have to let the other side know what their BATNA is! If they don't sell you the purse, maybe it sits around for a while. When the owner knows the BATNA, maybe he or she sells it to you for a little less.
That's BATNA in a nutshell. You can read more about it on the Wikipedia page for BATNA.{ 4 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Ever since that fateful encounter in Eden, snakes—or, at least in modern times, patterns inspired by their ravishing reticulated markings—have slithered in and out of fashion. Currently back in vogue, reptile-like prints have been seen wrapped around such celebs as Veronica Webb, Tabitha Soren and Sandra Bernhard. Just last month, Melissa Etheridge attended the premiere of The Net in L.A. in a silk python-patterned shirt. "I think snake is a classic, like leopard," says designer Cynthia Rowley, whose faux serpentile fashions have rattled clients including Annie Lennox and Tori Spelling. "It's sexy, chic, very Vegas."
Translated into everything from satin dresses to leather stiletto-heeled shoes, today's snakeskin is mostly imitation—a summer counterpart to winter's fake furs. "Think of all the people in the '70s with their real snakeskin boots, pants and hats," says Valerie Steele, assistant professor at New York City's Fashion Institute of Technology. "The fakes being shown these days are kind to animals but still carry some of that cool and evil look."
But not everyone has given up on the genuine article. Designer Nicole Miller used phony prints in most of her collection but went for the real thing when it came to belts. Not to worry. "They were bad snakes," she says reassuringly. "Road kill. Poisonous."

Exchange Vault 6.0, on Exchange 2000, win2k server, sql 2000.
The user functionality works fine for the primary mailbox in outlook, but if I add a second mailbox, I can't view the message - I've tried with both the installed client, and using a shortcut link, but neither work. The install client, does nothing, the link returns "Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed.".
I've verified that I can browse the second mailbox's archive store via the archive explorer, or search it via the web interface, and if I re-configure outlook so the second mailbox is the primary, it works fine (so I do have exchange rights to it).
Anyone know if this is a bug, or by design, before I attempt to call veritas about it.

Learn about Connor's background; how his values, desire to do the right thing, passion for freedom, and fight against tyranny parallel the integrity, force and dedication of the founding fathers, whose own strategic cunning and battle prowess are featured in Assassin's Creed III. When Connor meets historic figures like Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson, he's immediately drawn to their strength of character.
What makes Connor who he is? Learn how his Native American heritage, upbringing, and familiarity with the environment shape his hunting and tracking abilities: giving him the ability to traverse difficult terrain with ease.
The animation team discusses the process of building the physical character, describing how he evolved from their initial designs of a slimmer man, to a large, powerful presence, who moves with purpose and intent.
Learn what it's like to play Connor. Hear the development team explain how the entire navigation system was rebuilt – the climbing system revamped – all so Connor can organically respond to the much more natural and irregular shapes he'll be traversing in the frontier.
Connor's navigation through his environment – whether in the forest or city – is inspired by Parkour, the sport founded upon efficiency of movement. Connor's moves are so accurate and impressive that real Parkour experts express how he moves like how they want to move. Finally, we'll dig deeper into Connor's methods of combat. He's a dual handed specialist, who kills without hesitation, creating a foe that the British are completely unequipped to deal with. As the Mission Director says, "he's a ninja in a tank… with a wolverine in there."
Next time: Cities, the frontier and Naval Warfare.

T-Mobile strikes back at AT&T with newspaper ads
0. phoneArena 06 Mar 2013, 09:47 posted on
AT&T has started taking shots at T-Mobile's 4G HSPA+ network and now T-Mobile is ready to respond…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Simple. For the extra
bandwidth and towers. Not for the coverage.
16. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
TMo is crazy. Its not like AT&T woulda dumped their existing network and towers for T Mo's...they would combined everything into one.
32. corporateJP (Posts: 2431; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
Bandwidth and towers ARE coverage.
2. ZayZay (Posts: 571; Member since: 26 Feb 2011)
Newspaper ads make me laugh. I would have never saw these if it weren't for the internet.

T-Mobile has Carly.
13. sniper1087 (Posts: 508; Member since: 31 Dec 2011)
I think they replaced Carly, have not seen her lately

That ad definitely burns xD
5. idroidequis (Posts: 103; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)
I laughed at this. Newspaper really? Who reads those anymore.
6. gameday78 (Posts: 48; Member since: 17 Mar 2012)
Towers are the answer! T-Mobile has the lowest usage per tower! so do u buy or lease land build towers or try to buy them for cheap! Plus why has T-Mobile's parent company publicly stated that they wanted to sell T-Mo multiple times and after no one wanted to buy them and Att wasn't allowed to buy them now they are like "were the best"! No guys u tried and were left wanting... just accept your role and shut up!
Aka...your role is the joke of the industry! Wait my bad that's Sprint! Or Softbank or whatever the name of the Japanese company that bailed them out of bankruptcy...
9. Reluctant_Human (Posts: 886; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
We need T-Mobile and Sprint to remind Verizon and At&t that there are competitors out there. These smaller carriers remind the big ones that we're willing to pay more for better service but if you take it to far the roles will be reversed when people jump ship.
7. wendygarett (unregistered)
In the end, Verizon is the winner :)

That's funny right there...
10. medicci37 (Posts: 1276; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
As far as price goes, you can't beat T mobile. Just thinking about the my Verizon bill makes my butt hurt
11. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
"If AT&T thought our network wasn't great, why did they try to buy it?"
This one is a classic... Can't find a comeback better than this one.
14. alekso9 (Posts: 40; Member since: 30 Jan 2012)
Thats pretty kick ass...
15. NexusKoolaid (Posts: 479; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
The ads are funny, but the fine print in two of the ads seems to contradict itself. On one hand they say "don't take AT&T's word for it, OR OURS FOR THAT MATTER", then in the next sentence they direct you to a t-mobile.com site for information.
17. Rayvelynn (Posts: 124; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Stop being salty AT&T it's not a good look, lol
18. ambanna (Posts: 1; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
Cause TMO couldn't run the Spectrum or site assets properly, and they can't run a decent network!!!
AT&T wouls be able to use this specturm, assests and customer base and create a real network!
35. corporateJP (Posts: 2431; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
Yeah, because I like the idea of AT&T being a super carrier as much as Verizon.
Move along, one day you'll understand why the FCC occasionally makes a good decision in the consumers best interest.
19. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
every carrier has itas flaws. I have AT&T and despite what the critics say, I like the service. I have the ability to talk and surf the internet on my phone at the same, which is huge for me and why i chose AT&T
There are those who are not going to like what I said about AT&T, but I never said that AT&T have no issues whatsoever. Tmobile and AT&T are acting like 2 hungry kids asking for the last chocolate cake. this back and forth crap needs to stop. Focus on making your service better not spending money on ads telling us who's better than the other
23. archangel9 (Posts: 233; Member since: 07 Feb 2010)
I do the same on Tmobile ,talk and surf at hte same time.
27. meccausa02 (Posts: 5; Member since: 13 Jan 2012)
Its because both are HSPA+ and not CDMA like Verizon and Sprint
20. Mr.Mr.Upgrade (Posts: 474; Member since: 30 Aug 2011)
Its funny how about just last year they was trying to merge now a ..I hate u...lmao... thinking bout T-Mobile drop calls makes my butt hurt
21. Mr.Mr.Upgrade (Posts: 474; Member since: 30 Aug 2011)
If sprint n T-Mobile do not change by the end Of this year they will be out the game...mark my words
36. corporateJP (Posts: 2431; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
You'll eat crow (or join all the same expert "analysts" and "investors" that seem to know what every company, especially Apple, are going to do next).
22. Jphones (Posts: 235; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Tmobile is comedy only network to let you do free wifi calling. An their switching to no contract. Plus they're cheaper then everybody else and hspa+ is dam good in some areas faster then LTE. Money well spent an that extra $30 you'll save instead of using at&t/verizon basjcally pays 1/3 of your phone bill. Thats how you make the top2 sweat displaying value
24. MartianMe (unregistered)
.............Still waiting on google fiber :(
25. Luisit0 (Posts: 73; Member since: 18 Feb 2013)
The only good that could come out of this little ad war is if T-Mobile was to make one saying "We're better because we have unlimited data" and then AT&T decided to make their LTE unlimited too so they could shine. Other than that, this little ad war is pathetic to me :P
37. corporateJP (Posts: 2431; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
Don't hold your breath on waiting for AT&T, you'll pass out.
28. Cannabis (Posts: 22; Member since: 20 Jan 2013)
If they are going to replace Carly, replace her with CZJ...I miss her. Bi-polar or not she has more meat on her bones mmmmm
38. corporateJP (Posts: 2431; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
True story, but your grandpa is hittin' that right now.
29. Cannabis (Posts: 22; Member since: 20 Jan 2013)
Both have their flaws but the one thing that stands out is AT&T's attention toward someone they didn't consider "competition". AT&T wouldn't respond to something it didn't consider a threat especially something smaller than them unless that something had a chance of growing into some future concern which is expected by around 2015 and beyond if all goes well of course. And that shows TMO has some balls to go after something bigger and harder to battle. Then again their CEO also said going after Sprint would be "too easy" but why ignore them? Sprint really doesn't have a great network I mean c'mon they've never been up there in speed especially with that disastrous WIMAX and CDMA combo and their LTE isn't anything special so why not eat away at their badly illusioned customers to knock Sprint from that 3rd spot already and attack AT&T from a better position.

Keeping it real At@t is an industry JOKE with poor data plans and piss poor abilities when it comes to updating handsets. The funny part is they copy Verizon every chance they get and they both suck MAJOR ASS. Piss on At@t
31. izabooBorges (Posts: 1; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
Sorry AT&T, no more rep off people!!!! T-MOBILE is the grate of all.......

Juan Pablo Galavis
The star of Bachelorette upcoming season!!!
The recent Season of Bachelorette has brought a name forward of the most lovable, desirable bachelor and daddy figure contestant Juan Pablo Galavis. Though the guy could not win the heart of Desiree Hartsock in season 9 yet the Latino hunk won the hearts and minds of million Americans with his single daddy image. As per US magazine Juan Pablo was most adored contestant by fans that ABC has again chosen him their upcoming season star of Bachelorette. He is the first Latin Bachelor to come on the ABC'S show Bachelorette in the history of past 11 years. Americans were so much falling in love with Juan that his rejection left them totally astounded but his come back on the next season brought smile on their faces again.
Juan Pablo shared his views with 'Men Tell All' regarding next season of bachelorette that he is right now almost 32 years old. He really wants a family. He wants to settle down and have a wife and two more kids.
US magazine confirmed the same as well. Juan added few more words with his willingness to seek a life long love that it was hard to make the decision. It is a great responsibility, because he's going to find, hopefully, the person who's going to be with him and his daughter. He wants to find a stepmom for his daughter Camila and He wants to have two more kids.
As Camila is one an only significant lady to single daddy Juan Pablo so daddy will take every step with her consent. Sources also confirmed – 'Juan Pablo would never pursue a serious relationship – much less ask for someone's hand in marriage – without his daughter being completely OK with it'.
Added few more points to the words sources said – 'For the most part, Camila's mother will be taking care of her while Juan Pablo is shooting, but she will definitely appear on the show. He's going to make sure to see her as often as he can and include her in the process – very much like what Emily Maynard did with her daughter Ricki when she was the Bachelorette.'
Recent news has aired former Bachelorette star Emma Maynard's tips to Juan Pablo for next season. Emma suggested drinking lots of coffee, because he is not going to get much sleep and to ask lots of questions and follow the gut based on their answers.
She further stated that being the Bachelorette is very hard situation but being a single parent into the mix makes it that much harder but in the same time it's also like blessing because children are said to be honest and help to keep us very grounded.

Durham, NC—Durham Regional Hospital has been awarded an "A" for patient safety by independent national nonprofit the Leapfrog Group. Durham Regional also received an "A" in the previous release of the Hospital Safety Score last fall.
"Safety is our top priority," says Lorrie Jones-Hartley, chief patient safety and quality officer at Durham Regional. "Nothing is more important than providing the highest quality and safest care for every patient, every time."
The "A" score was awarded in the latest update to the Hospital Safety Score—A-F grades based on 26 publicly available hospital safety measures, including accidents, infections, injuries, and preventable medical errors provided by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid and the American Hospital Association's annual survey. Calculated under the guidance of an eight-member panel of patient safety experts, the Hospital Safety Score is designed to provide information the public can use to choose where to receive medical care.
"It is important that our patients, their loved ones and the community know what we're doing to ensure they receive safe care," Jones-Hartley explains. "We are proud to earn an 'A' for patient safety, and are dedicated to continuing to enhance safety and quality of care."

Great show had fun shooting it come back any time yup
I grew up seeing Tombstone as we passed through, on the way to and from nearby Douglas, where my father was born and raised. My parents gave me a copy of 'Tombstone-An Iliad of the Southwest. I walked the streets of Tombstone as a kid and stood where those 30 shots had been exchanged in less than 30 seconds. I didn't need the TV Westerns to become enamored with the Old West. I believe that the myths that grew out of this gunfight and the Hickock/Tutt shootout got conflated with the formal duels fought by 'gentlemen' of leisure' up until the Civil War. (Remember Hamilton/Burr?). This gave birth to the classic walk-down gunfights in countless Westerns. As for what actually happened, I believe the Discovery Channel got as close as possible with their analysis, as part of the 'Unsolved History' series. The old History Channel series, 'Tales of the Gun' also looked at the fight, and even interviewed HughO'Brian, who played Earp in the old TV Western. The Technical Advisor on that show? Stuart Lake, who immortalized Earp in his well-known autobiography. As you noted, Michael, the legend will always win out.
Wow, Great town Tombstone sure brings back memories.
I really enjoyed the show and
David Hight was great!
I found this episode quite interesting. First of all, there was only one passing reference to how the Earps had outlawed the possession of guns within the town of Tombstone. On a gun show that supports carry of guns by private citizens, I find this odd. The Earps banned the carry of guns in Tombstone. Why are we thinking of them as good men, when they forced the people of Tombstone to be defenseless? Sounds almost like modern-day California to me: only the police can have guns!
And for Sheriff Jim Wilson, who said the gunfight at the OK Corral 'exemplifies the battle of good versus evil': who was evil in the gunfight? Was it the regular guys, who were carrying guns? Or was it the law enforcement personnel, who outlawed the carry of those guns and intended to disarm the people? I remind everybody, the Earps went to the Corral to take away the guns of the Clantons and McLaurys. I find it very saddening that so many fellow pro-gun and pro-rights individuals see the Earps as being the good people in this situation. It's rather disappointing to see something like this on a show I so enjoy.

|-> Chapter 2 -> Urban areas -> Asia and the Pacific
Waste management
Much of the solid waste generated in urban centres remains uncollected and is either deposited in surface waters and empty lots, or burned in streets. This problem has worsened over the past 30 years. Collected waste is mainly disposed of in open dumps, many of which are neither properly operated nor maintained, and which pose a serious threat to public health. Only a few Asian cities such as Hong Kong and Singapore, and those in Australia, Japan and New Zealand, have adequate solid waste disposal facilities but even these cities have problems in dealing with increasing volumes of waste (ADB 2001).
In the mid-1990s, Metro Manila generated 6 300 tonnes of solid waste daily but its landfills could accommodate only a little more than half that amount (ADB 1996). The island of Kiribati has severe population density problems caused by internal migration and has little land for waste disposal. As on many atoll islands, solid waste is discharged into coastal waters.
Serious health and environmental problems can be caused by poor waste disposal. In the Pacific Islands, freshwater is scarce, and solid waste disposal methods that contaminate water are frequently a source of intestinal diseases and ear and eye infections. In India, an outbreak of bubonic plague in 1994 was linked to inadequate solid waste disposal (Tysmans 1996).
The disposal and treatment of industrial, toxic and hazardous waste also causes serious problems. Dumping of hazardous waste is common in South and Southeast Asia. Countries such as Bangladesh, India and Pakistan have become dumping grounds for significant quantities of hazardous waste from industrialized countries, and are facing growing protests about waste-related pollution.
A large number of stakeholders are involved in national waste management policies and strategies. Waste management services have been privatized in countries such as Japan, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia and Thailand. This appears to be an effective means of improving these services, while providing additional employment. However, much waste is generated by small producers, who are difficult to service with traditional methods.

Standardized instruments or surveys, while they have their use, may often be seen by students as being external to their real course work. Many students may not provide their best effort on an assessment instrument that is not graded and is not seen as an integral part of their course work.
Assessment can be done effectively with samples of material that are integrated into the graded work of a course.
The best assessment can draw on what we already do within our course work without creating an excessive amount of extra work for either teacher or faculty member.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Crackalackin two f***in thousand ten (2010, you artard). You better thank me for the lyrics.
I am all in this Christmas Carols mood ya foo
So Imma bring to you
And you don't wanna be all up in my grizzle,
You know I got my nizzle fo shizzle, *Santa*
Its gonna drizzle, blood.
You gonna bleed,
cos all my man knows,
For morons only. Sing this in "Jingle Bells" tune. INTELLIGAANCE PEOPLES KNOWS AALREADY NO?
Riding his SUV,
Santa wanted to score,
So we roll up a joint,
And smoke till we get sore!
Ringing Bells, ringing bells, here comes the Santa gulping a beer can,
With fake white beard and a black moustache, and oh so perfect tan!
Ringing Bells, ringing bells, he give me candy, and I like it,
And you don't get no shit not even a single Bangladeshi Taka, because you ain't got my Christmas man!
Christmas celebrations in Webchutney saw some of the most polite and shy janta , running after Santa for presents almost desperate enough like Tushar Kapoor pays to act in movies. Carefully notice , Dipanjan , Amit, Shree, Saket and Shashank as they literally loot the Santa.
And there was "I want a picture with Santa" syndrome in the house. They all look so pretty. I mean Santa, Samar and Mukesh. What were you thinking? Ladies are simply gorgeous; you don't want me to keep mentioning that again and again, no? Yes? No. What it is?
SING in the tune of *Rudolph the red nose reindeer*.
Rishi the bongolly soldier
Strikes a veearrry cutie pose
Rahul has got him horny
Now all he needs is a red nose!
Don't you just love pictures taken from ze helicopter? Yes they have that aerial feel to them. Apart from all those emotions, this picture also has Sattvik and Dipanjan nearly stuck to the hip.
Heard Wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton? Yes ! Sing the following lines , like that!
He's got his hair coloured.
Yellow, red, turkey hair!
Even Arunabh who's married, gives him a bad stare!
And then he asks me, Gurbaksh! Do I look alright?
And I said, yes Gautam darling, you look kinky tonight!
Sattvik, Aakreit and Akshay show us that we had enough booze to knock em out.
And no problemo our Santa grew a moustache on the job (that is beer froth). They do a quick "cheers" before they guzzle down em beer.
Okay tata, bye bye.

Cross Balsamo is fond of likening himself, and his childhood habitat growing up in a pizzeria, to "a fish in the water."
Balsamo, 31, who owns La Pizza Casa in Altoona with his wife, Jaime, 34, does so to illustrate how he never had to learn the business, but rather had it instilled naturally.
"It's been in my blood. I was brought up in this business since I was a baby," he said Monday, sitting next to Jaime, who is also a nurse at UPMC Altoona, inside the cozy and neat dining room of their restaurant located at the corner of Fourth Street and 22nd Avenue.

Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich
Jaime and Cross Balsamo own La Pizza Casa in Altoona.
Cross, and his brother, Matt, 29, who is La Pizza Casa's general manager, spent many years in a pizzeria business that their father, Giuseppe, who came to America from Sicily in 1980, and mom, Shirley, opened locally in 1981.
Cross and Jaime didn't get into the restaurant business right away, though.
When they married, Cross, "broke away from the family business because I wanted to try to make some real cash for myself rather than take more from my parents," and discovered he enjoyed masonry work.
Fact Box
Behind the Plates
La Pizza Casa
Address: 2204 Fourth St., Altoona
Phone number: 941-CASA (2272), orders can also be faxed to 941-2271
Website: www.lapizzacasa.com
Hours: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to closing Friday and Saturday. The restaurant offers take out with the option of pick up or delivery.
Price range: $1.75 to $24
Atmosphere: casual
Capacity: 60
Popular dishes: pizza, stromboli, cheese steak
The winter months were a struggle, though, and Cross told Jaime when the opportunity presented itself, they would open a pizza shop in order to have a steadier income.
The restaurant opened in October 2010.
"She knew it had kind of been a little side dream of mine," he said. "So here we are three and a half years later."
One day, they hope to pass it on to their son, Joey, 9.
"He just told your mom last night he wants to be a pizza man," Jaime told Cross.
"We hope to instill in him everything that was passed to me so we can some day down the road keep the legacy alive for a third generation pizzeria," Cross said.
Although it would be nice, Joey doesn't have to take over the restaurant, Cross said.
"I never want to force anything on anybody's own goals and dreams in life," Cross said. "But at the same time, though, you try to include him in the business so he kind of has the same feelings I had when I was growing up in the business, seeing how it all goes down."
The brothers "took a lot of what [their parents] gave us and we evolved and came up with new ideas and new innovative ways of doing things on our own, as well," Matt said.
Cross said he learned from his dad, but since he was brought up in the United States he brings some new flavor to the table.
"I'm the traditional, but I'm the up and coming too, because I like doing all the new, what's hip. I like all the new hip foods," he said.
In that respect, La Pizza Casa offers buffalo chicken or BBQ chicken 'bolis - short for stromboli - and pizzas, Cross said. They are also going to offer a burger menu, and in the warmer months offerings from the restaurant's ice cream parlor will include sundaes and milkshakes.
"So we don't just serve pizza, but we try to hit everybody's taste buds," Cross said.
The Balsamos make their own dough and homemade bread, and hand toss their pizza dough, they said. They also use fresh, local ingredients, he said.
Jaime Balsamo wants customers to experience "good food" and a "friendly atmosphere," she said.
When the restaurant is open, chances are good that regular customer Joshua Moore of Altoona has eaten or is about to eat there.
Moore loves "them as people, too," he said of Cross, Jaime and Matt. The staff is "real polite all the time."
His list of what he enjoys eating at the restaurant included their grilled chicken and steak salads, pizza, spaghetti and chicken parmigiana.
"The bread's the best. I mean nobody can make bread this good. It's their own recipe," he said. "I love their meatballs. Their meatballs are out of this world. ... Anybody who doesn't eat there is missing out on the truthfully good things in life."
And life is good for the Balsamo family.
Business is "wonderful," Cross said.
"Everything we imagined materialized, so it's pretty cool how that works. When you think of that ahead of time and then all you do is go to work every day and walk the footsteps, and everything comes to life around you. That's kind of what's happened. Everything's just come to life the way we pictured it."

If I think of anymore I like I'll add them.
I'm saying it now. These are more rock like songs. May not be

Enigma is not so much rock as it is just good sex music.

Perhaps this is a little odd to some, but I've always liked Pearl Jam's Ten album.

Music can obviously set up the mood, and this has already been proven in many instances. While lovemaking music can make the whole affair so enjoyable which adds to the pleasure of it. However this is not limited in this particular area only as it can lift people from depression for the better. Personally I always like soft music with soft beats in it, heavy instrumentals are not my cup of tea.

The Bandits' Crystal Cowboy makes me feel sensual and happy, as does Bjork's Possibly Maybe.

I like doing it to The Black Keys. Also recently had a nice time with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs first album. Most anything is good for me as long as it doesn't have a strong association to another person, situation, etc. that I don't want to be thinking about when I'm doing it! My guy and I get into kinda doing stuff in time with the rhythm of the song, and that's fun, too.

for seriously intense, passionate fucking. There's something about the Deftones. They just sound like sex to me, the way Chico's voice melts all over the guitar and drums; the sound is simultaneously hard and soft, tense and languid...I've had some of the most intense sex of my life to the Deftones, where the music matched us so perfectly we just got utterly lost and absorbed. Change, My Own Summer and Passenger are particularly good.
The Cure's
is perfect for making desperate, heartbreaking love.
...guess which one's my favourite? Yeah, I'm emo.

Ha ha, who would get it on to "last kiss?!" Not me, anyways. I have trouble with music in general, I find it very distracting. Looks like I'm in the minority though!

Magic is afoot at this time of year.
Haleakala Waldorf School's Holiday Faire is a good place to remember what it looks like.
The faire made its annual return to the Kula campus under the crisp blue sky of the first day of December. With knee-high elves in Santa hats circulating through fairytale-inspired craft booths, it always feels as though you've wandered onto the set for "The Hobbit."
Picturesquely nestled on the mountain, Haleakala School provides a nurturing refuge from a society intent on making kids grow up too fast. Instead, it honors childhood as the stage in human development when innocence and wonder still exist.
A visit to the faire always takes your breath away, mostly with the happy, wholesome, unselfconscious smiles of the kids, everywhere you look.
An extra attraction last Saturday was the entertainment. The school guards the privacy of its students, sensing the toxic danger of those 15 minutes of fame, so I'll mention no names. But in my hour and a half there, I had tears in my eyes and chicken skin from an amazing operatic voice coming out of a little 10-year-old girl. A stage of blond 5th-graders dancing in kimonos transported us to Japan.
There was the lovely Haleakala grad doing a soulful folk tune, with her movie-star dad providing accompaniment. And another gifted young singer on the brink of a professional career came back to sing where it all began for her, when she was barely able to reach the microphone on the Haleakala stage.
If the Haleakala Faire is all about cherishing innocence, new movies this week have other things in mind. There's nothing innocent - or soft -about the way Brad Pitt takes care of business as an unflappable hitman whacking low-level criminals in "Killing Them Softly." This is one of those cynical, scuzzy crime dramas full of shaggy-dog philosophizing when guys aren't killing each other in pretty gross ways.
The ever-cool Pitt plays a killer brought in to get the underground economy rolling again after someone robs an underworld card game and everyone is afraid to play anymore. The cast also features James Gandolfini and Ray Liotta heading a bunch of low-level lawbreakers who aren't nearly as smart as they think they are.
"Killing Them Softly" is nouveau noir in the shadow of Quentin Tarantino, written and directed by New Zealand's Andrew Dominik. Movies like this provide vicarious opportunities for Beverly Hills filmmakers and financial backers to vicariously walk on the wild side with paid killers, junkies, hookers and the reputable attorney (Richard Jenkins), paid by the mob to pick up the tab.
For all its adrenalized black humor and stomach-turning violence, "Killing Them Softly" manages to sneak in a political message. Set during the 2008 election, its card-game stickups and contract killings are intercut with newscast footage featuring then-President George W. Bush and candidate Barack Obama.
America's not about democracy, Pitt explains in the final scene - it's about business. This cynical, bloody message is probably easier to stomach if you're a Beverly Hills millionaire yourself, watching life in the gutter solely for amusement.
"The Sessions" takes an equally salacious premise - 36-year-old polio victim Mark O'Brien (John Hawkes) who has spent most of his life in an iron lung, hires sex surrogate Cheryl Cohen-Greene (Helen Hunt) to help him lose his virginity before he dies. But it turns it into a unique, deeply affecting love story.
William H. Macy as a conflicted priest heads the wonderful supporting cast in this true story set in '80s Berkeley. There's Oscar buzz for Hawkes' brilliant star turn and Hunt's bravery in the almost explicit sex scenes; what's unexpected in "The Sessions" is its compassion, humor, and its touching portrait of a wonderful sort of love that eludes lots of folks who have far fewer obstacles trying to find it.
