Out of your view, a lot of things go on around The Maritime Aquarium each day just to accomplish all that needs to be done to be a great aquarium. Often, there's even more happening.
Take the next 24 hours, for example.
This evening (April 24), the Aquarium is hosting its "Cirque de la Mer" fundraising gala. We have a huge tent set up just outside the main entrance, and that's where some 440 guests will enjoy a delicious dinner, the presentation of our 15th Red Apple Awards and a live auction that's always, er, lively.
Before dinner is cocktail hour, and that takes place in Newman's Own Hall (where the seals are) and the Aquarium galleries. We gussy the place all up like you wouldn't recognize. This year's theme is "Mystical Magical Maritime Masquerade," and there will be live mermaids, an enormous seahorse ice carving and lots of other cool treatments.
The event is sold-out. But, even without a ticket, you can bid on items in our auction up until 9 p.m. There are travel, golf and hotel packages, restaurant certificates, tickets to a Seth Meyers taping and more. Proceeds from "Cirque de la Mer" support The Maritime Aquarium's Red Apple Fund for Student Enrichment, which helps to make the Aquarium's unique marine-science and environmental-education programs available to students and teachers in the tri-state area who otherwise may not be able to participate.
All evidence of "Cirque" (well, except for the tent) will be gone by the time the doors open Friday morning. And that's when we'll be hosting educators from all around the area for the 11th Long Island Sound Educator's Conference. Invited is anyone who teaches about the watery world – staffers of other environmental-education institutions, preschool teachers, high-school biology teachers, researchers and even informal educators like librarians.
Presented by the Southeastern New England Marine Educators (SENEME), the conference offers three blocks of informative workshops and presentations, behind-the-scenes tours of the Aquarium, a study cruise aboard the Aquarium's research vessel and more. It's from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
All just in a day's – or two's – work.

'Horrible Bosses' director teams with Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman for 'Identity Theft'
Jason Bateman is re-teaming with his "Horrible Bosses" director Seth Gordon for the comedy "Identity Theft," co-starring Melissa McCarthy.
The plot is exactly what it sounds like; Bateman is an everyday dude who finds himself victimized by a crafty identity thief. According to Deadline.com, the role was originally written to be male, but recent Emmy winner McCarthy ("Mike and Molly") so impressed Bateman with her scene-stealing "Bridesmaids" performance that he had the film changed so she could play the thief.
The Universal comedy is currently being re-written by Steve Conrad ("The Pursuit of Happyness") and Craig Mazin ("The Hangover Part II").
Gordon ("The King of Kong") is also in talks to direct a "Horrible Bosses" sequel, which would reunite stars Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis.
Are you excited to see Bateman and McCarthy in a film together?

LOXLEY -- Jimmy Beck brushed off a disappointing second round and Mariah Stackhouse used an ace to help get into a playoff as the two won their respective divisions in the AJGA at Steelwood tournament Thursday.
Beck, who stumbled to a 4-over-par 76 Wednesday after a 67 Tuesday, fired a 4-under 68 Thursday to win the boys division by two shots over three players, including Robby Shelton of Wilmer and Mason Seaborn of Montrose. Tolver Dozier of Dothan also tied for second at 213.
In girls play. Stackhouse was 6 over for the tournament going into the par-3 17th when she hit the third hole-in-one of her career. She birdied 18 to get to 3 over, and Michelle Butler lipped out a birdie putt on the final hole to slip into a playoff. Stackhouse then parred the first playoff hole to win.
Mobile's Gabi Oubreà tied for third place, five shots behind Stackhouse and Butler at 221. Bayside Academy's Caroline Beebe finished at 235 and in the top 10.
Beck shook off his Wednesday 76 by keeping the ball in play.
"I'm glad I could get back in the tournament," he said. "I was just hitting fairways and greens. On the greens, I just felt so comfortable over everything. I was just playing. I've been playing really well the last couple of months and this gets my summer off to a good start."
Shelton struggled on the front side, but made four birdies and a bogey on the back nine to get back in the hunt. "I'm happy with how I played," the Class 5A boys state medalist from St. Paul's said. "After the front nine, I didn't think I had a chance."
Seaborn said he was steady but missed opportunities. "I didn't make all the birdie putts I wanted to make, but I'm happy with how I played," he said.
Stackhouse said she originally had a 6-iron in her hand on the 17th tee but opted for a 7-iron when she gauged the speed of the green and position of the pin.
"Something told me (the green) was going to be fast," she said. "It hit in front and rolled right to the hole."
She didn't learn she was the leader until she reached the clubhouse with one group left on the course.
"I wasn't too concerned about the playoff because I had made a hole-in-one, so whatever happened was going to be OK," she said.
Big shots highlighted the tournament. On Tuesday, AJ Crouch had a double-eagle and Adam Sanders aced No. 17. On Wednesday, Easton Key dropped a 100-yard approach shot on 18 for an eagle, and Stackhouse followed with her ace Thursday.

The over two-decade-old tradition of lighting the Christmas tree in front of Shiloh Market continued with a new tree in memory of a former borough resident.
"This ceremony is in honor of William Lupton, who passed away at 21," said Shiloh Seventh Day Baptist Church Pastor Don Chroniger.
Lupton was a young borough resident who was in failing health but attended the first tree lighting. His family and friends attended Sunday's lighting, as did well over 40 local residents.
"The first year we (the church) moved here, we had a town tree," said Chroniger. "The first two came from a guy's yard around the corner."
The lights they strung up were borrowed and turning on the power back then was a real Christmas miracle. Council members Carman Daddario and Brad Campbell assisted in Sunday's process.
A huge Blue Spruce tree had been growing in the open grass lot in front of Shiloh Market but it simply became too big, Chroniger said.
It was eventually cut, donated to McDermott's tree farm and turned into wreaths. The lighting ceremony gave residents a chance to get to know each other and enjoy hot chocolate and refreshments.

Don't Follow Me, I'm Lost: Stock Buybacks
In any market environment, it helps to know who is doing the buying. That is particularly true of a bull market we're experiencing today, as the S&P 500 index steams northward towards 1700 even as corporate profits grow at a more meager rate and revenues disappoint. As Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial, summarized the state of buying and selling in the midst of the rally, while hedge funds, institutional investors and insiders aren't buying, and foreign demand for U.S. equities is dwindling, the only two sources of demand for stocks are individual investors and companies themselves.
Corporate stock buybacks are on the rise, for reasons that have as much or more to do with the market's gains than they do with the conviction among corporate executives that their stocks are undervalued. As prices rise, employees who have received grants of options are more likely to find those are in the money and to exercise those options, raising the number of shares outstanding and diluting earnings per share. "When prices rise, companies act to offset dilution by following through on buybacks," says Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
In other words, companies are compelled to buy their own shares when the stock is expensive, and have less of a reason to be buyers when the shares are down. Hmmm. Something's horribly wrong here. For individual investors, aping this behavior seems unwise. Companies could, of course, pile up cash and buy back their own shares aggressively after a market correction, but that would take a long-term view often lacking in financial management.
When Silverblatt released his review of fourth-quarter buyback activity in late March, he predicted that companies would "become slightly more aggressive" in their buyback activity in order to keep ahead of dilution – and that is what seems to be taking place. According to data from Birinyi Associates, April was the strongest month it had recorded in buybacks, thanks to Apple's (AAPL) $50 billion repurchase authorization. During the first four months of 2013, a period when the S&P climbed 12.02%, the number of buyback announcements rose 26%, marking the strongest start to the year recorded by Birinyi.
The combination of the headlines about Apple's big buyback authorization, and the likely chatter about how buybacks can help fuel a rally in the kind of environment we're in today, characterized by thin trading volume, make it all the more important to hone in on stocks whose buybacks aren't just announced but completed, and that result in a real reduction in the number of shares outstanding. Moreover, notes Silverblatt, those companies shouldn't be buying back shares to mask what would otherwise show up as a decline in earnings per share. In other words, you're looking for a stock like DirecTV (DTV).
DTV Shares Outstanding data by YCharts
While companies like Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Home Depot (HD) also have done a good job of using buybacks to reduce shares outstanding, and others, like Merck (MRK), have announced multi-billion dollar authorizations without following through in any way that has a real impact on shares outstanding, DirecTV is a standout. Not only has it reduced its shares outstanding dramatically, but that has helped contribute to a gain not only in earnings per share but also to a higher share price.
As YCharts reported recently, DirecTV is a stock Warren Buffett should brag about. The stock isn't all that pricey, with a PE ratio of about 14.
DTV Shares Outstanding data by YCharts
True, there is an argument to be made that the reason DirecTV was able to undertake such an aggressive buyback was that, while its fundamental business was generating enough cash for the company to buy back stock, it wasn't offering a lot of potential sources of new growth in which that capital could be invested. Recent reports suggest that the satellite broadcasting company may have found a way around that: DirecTV is pondering making a bid for privately-held Hulu, which would give the company a toehold in the rapidly growing Internet streaming part of the broadcasting business.
Buffett, however, is confident enough in DirecTV's franchise and future that Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) has been an enthusiastic buyer of its shares, adding to his holdings throughout 2012 and into the first quarter of 2013.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the financial markets, any more than there is anywhere else; investors should be wary whenever they feel tempted to react to news of a big proposed buyback by snapping up the shares in anticipation of a market response. Companies may end up buying back stock not because it's cheap but because it has run up in price and employees are exercising options; they may announce buybacks because, like Apple, when their stock price is low but also because they are sitting on a pile of unused cash and they are under pressure from shareholders to do something. Before acting on buyback data, it's important to examine the motivations, evaluate the alternative uses to which the company could put that cash, ensure that the company intends to follow through on the authorization and actually repurchase shares, and establish whether that will produce a measurable decline in the number of shares outstanding.

This book of approximately 1000 pages is divided into 37 chapters, each on prevention in some phase of medicine, for example, preventive hematology, preventive cardiology, preventive psychiatry, preventive obstetrics, preventive proctology, etc. Each section is from the pen of a different author; all are well written and authoritative. Whether the idea of the book is a sound one I will not attempt to decide. Actually, as one can not work in a vacuum, a good deal of space is devoted to setting the stage for the remarks on the purely preventive aspects of disease, and the question is whether it is wise to try to separate prevention too sharply from other considerations. Indeed, I have an uneasy feeling that some of this could be said as well in good general textbooks. However, there is much of value between these covers and no doubt doctors will find the book of value

A giant festival held in Austin, Texas, during Spring Break. It is comprised of Music, Film, and Interactive showcases. Generally, it is a week of crowded bars, free stuff (and often free alcohol), thousands of concerts, afterparties and no parking. Although it is held primarily downtown in clubs and bars, many coffee shops, clothing stores, back alleys, and parks also turn into packed music venues.
I wanted to buy a SXSW wristband, but then I realized I could get into half of the shows for free anyway!

Shoah Photos Worth More Than a Thousand Words [VIDEO]
Video footage of this story is available at the bottom of the page.
Ilsa Maier is guilty of inappropriate smiling. She's been told this her whole life, and admits it's probably some sort of defense mechanism — she giggles so she doesn't cry.
That's how she explained the smile on her face in a photograph of herself some 65 years ago, just after she was selected for labor at Auschwitz. And that is probably why she snickered on a recent afternoon, as she pointed herself out in that same photograph, now hanging on the wall of the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, a beneficiary of The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles.
Maier's 22-year-old visage stares out from a photo included in "Auschwitz Album," a Yad Vashem exhibit, continuing through April 3, of an album documenting the SS processing of a Hungarian transport to Auschwitz-Birkenau. When Maier, who lives in Encino, saw that the exhibit was visiting the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust on Wilshire Boulevard, she sent a letter to museum director Mark Rothman informing him that she and her cousin were in one of the photos. She couldn't make the Jan. 27 opening, but Rothman invited her to visit a few weeks later.
The photo Maier is in is labeled, in precise handwriting, "Einweisung ins Arbeitslager," "able-bodied for work." Those not deemed able-bodied were sent directly to the gas chambers.
The photo was taken just after Maier arrived in Auschwitz in May or June of 1944. She is still wearing her own clothes, rather than a prisoner's uniform, but she and the hundreds of women with her have already had their heads shaven in the delousing process. Against the gray landscape of chimneys and barbed wire, the women march in loose order, carrying blankets. Most look dazed; some, like Ilsa, are smiling.
"We were blank at the time," she recalls. "We were just happy to survive."
The 193 photos in the album were taken by SS guards and document the entire selection process, short of the killings themselves.
Days after the war ended, survivor Lilly Jacob-Zelmanovic Meier (no relation to Ilsa) came upon the album as she searched for a sweater in the chilly former SS barracks where she was being housed. She recognized the rabbi of her town in the photos. Lilly distributed some of the photos to survivors she recognized. She allowed the Jewish Museum of Prague to copy the photos in 1949, which accounts for their publication in several books, and in the 1960s she presented the photos at the Auschwitz trials in Frankfurt. In 1981, Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld convinced her to turn the album over to Yad Vashem.
Ilsa Maier first saw her photo in a New York bookstore in "Commandant of Auschwitz: the Autobiography of Rudolf Hoess" — a moment she said she handled with the same nonchalance she still uses as a defense mechanism.
"You can save a lot of calories, taking the path of least resistance," she said.
Maier comes from Brno, Czechoslovakia. Her father was killed in 1939 in a Nazi raid on a restaurant. She and her mother were taken to Terezin, the so-called "model" camp. Her mother was transferred to Auschwitz before her and was spared because she had befriended the mother of a beautiful young woman whom a Nazi officer fancied. After three years in Terezin, Ilsa landed on a transport — a deliberately deceptive Pullman car rather than a cattle box — to Auschwitz.
"We looked out and said, 'Oh, those poor people,' and we had no idea that we were part of it," she recalled.
Maier spent about six weeks in Auschwitz and then was sent to a labor camp 40 miles from the Czech border, where she helped manufacture propellers. After she was liberated, Maier discovered from Red Cross lists that her mother, who had ended up in Bergen-Belsen, had survived the war, as did Maier's cousin, who is pictured with her.
Maier and her husband, also a Terezin survivor, married after the war, and in 1947 they arrived in New York. They and their two children moved to Los Angeles in 1968.
Maier wasn't the only survivor to view her picture at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, which is constructing a new facility in Pan Pacific Park set to open in summer 2010. At the exhibition's opening reception on Jan. 27, Rothman invited brothers Mike and Josef Kreitenberg. Soon after the album had been discovered, they spotted themselves, another brother and their father in one photo, and their mother and sister in another. The two brothers were the only survivors from the family.
"For me that night, there was only one thing that expressed survival more than being able to stand with someone whose younger self stared out from a picture of the damned," Rothman said of the opening night. "That was having the Kreitenbergs pose together with all the other Holocaust survivors in attendance that night in a life-affirming photo."

Liepke's work has been widely shown and exhibited in the Pastel Society of America, the American Watercolor Society, National Academy of Design and the National Arts Club. Leipke's emphasis has been on figurative artworks. His paintings and drawings often focus on intimate moments of sensual pleasure and introspection. Malcolm T. Liepke has been selling out his exhibitions since his 1986 show at ELEANOR ETTINGER GALLERY. There are now available at Arcadia Contemporary at least one large coffee table book on his art and several catalogues of his earlier shows.

Fixed PriceBudget: $200
Start DateAugust 3, 2013
This card game (4 players) is finished and it's already on App store for few months now.
There were few updates but biggest problem is multiplayer game thru Game Center. This is high priority !
If you don't make this or I'm not satisfied with your work, you will not be payed.
The multiplayer game works, but as you go to the end of the game, it slows down and you cannot finish the game normally.
Multiplayer game needs to work 100% without any bugs and your job is to fix it.
You will need to do these tasks (which are also on Asana - task manager) :
1. Fix multiplayer game that was developed in Unity with Game Center
(It means that when I say it's ok, then you have fix it, otherwise, it's like you didn't even worked on it)
2. Add new UI (Croatian and English)
3. Enable game rotation for 180˚
4. Add more achievements (there are 7 now)
5. Add Multiplayer tutorial how to invite players
6. Add new multiplayer background
7. Add question at the end of the game "Play again or Quit ?"
8. Changing info button functions (simple) to Settings
9. Localization ( When users from Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Serbia downloads the game, the games default language will be Croatian, and if users from other parts of the world downloads a game, the game will be English)
10. Parse - managing and removing few things (very important)
11. Profile picture and name on Main Menu - integration with Game Center
(When user enters the app, in the Main Menu is Profile picture and text "Enter your name...". When users is signed in in Game Center, it is needed that his profile picture and name from Game Center is automatically seen on Main Menu and that users doesn't need to write his name or upload a picture every time. )
If you've read and understand all that is needed and you are interested to work on this, reply to me and let's talk about finishing the game and add word INTERESTED in the beginning of the sentence.
Here is the link to the game:
It's called Bela Croatia.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Tibco Software, Inc. (UNKNOWN: TIBX.DL ) sank 14% today after its current-quarter outlook disappointed Wall Street.
So what: Tibco's Q4 results -- EPS of $0.42 on a revenue increase of 6% -- managed to top estimates, but downbeat guidance for the current quarter reinforces concerns over decelerating growth going forward. Additionally, operating margin during the quarter fell 290 basis points from the year-ago period, suggesting that the company's competitive position is weakening, as well.
Now what: Management now expects adjusted EPS of $0.17-$0.18 on revenue of $247 million-$253 million, below the consensus of $0.21 and $255.3 million. "We are building momentum as we enter 2014, and I am very optimistic about our prospects in the year ahead," Chairman and CEO Vivek Ranadive reassured investors. More important, with the stock off more than 20% from its 52-week highs, and trading at a forward P/E of 15, now might be an opportune time to buy into that bullishness.
More great ways to grow
They said it couldn't be done. But David Gardner has proved them wrong, time, and time, and time again, with stock returns like 926%, 2,239%, and 4,371%. In fact, just recently, one of his favorite stocks became a 100-bagger. And he's ready to do it again.

Everyone knows fat is a bad thing if you have too much of it. But what everyone may not realize is that some types of fat are better than others. Yes, there are multiple kinds of fat. Let's start with a breakdown:
White fat, or bad fat, stores calories and acts as somewhat of a lame duck, just sitting in the body and not doing anything productive. White fat is predominantly found in obese individuals.
Brown fat, on the other hand, which is present in all humans during infant years and dwindles as we age, has been found to produce heat, burn calories and help control weight. When brown fat is lost in the body, it's replaced by white fat, and is most often found in people who are active, especially athletes. (more…)

I've got to be perfectly candid with you; the "Grand Tasting" event at this year's Taste WA – for me – wasn't all I would've hoped it to be. Before you take that the wrong way, let me explain. The event itself was executed well and in all due fairness my issues with it don't lie in that regard. I guess what bothers me is whenever you cram that many wineries into a room like that and couple it with (mostly) sub-standard food, the overall experience can turn into a glorified excuse for most of the slack-jawed yokels to get wasted.
The best part for us (and I hope for most of the attendees) is the chance to meet some of the find folks behind the wine and hopefully walk away with a better understanding of what exactly goes into making a fine bottle of vino.
For those who have never been to an event this size, think of what it'd be like to get 200 wineries and over 100 restaurants together under one roof for a total of 6-hours (assuming you paid the $120 VIP ticket price for the extra two hours). Add around 2000 people, vendor booths strewed around like gangbusters and you've started to scratch the surface of what Taste WA is really all about.
No doubt this was the Washington Wine Commission's once-a-year chance to showcase what this state is capable of producing, but I think something gets a bit lost in the mix of things. I'm sure the commission plans on growing this thing as large as it can get it but good Lord how many wines can someone really taste in only a few short hours before their palate is jacked up? Thank God for a company like Peterson Cheese who brought some serious kung-fu with some of the most incredible cheeses I've ever had to help keep the palate cleansed.
Going forward, it'd be nice if the commission could do more to really hone in on the relational side of this event rather than just the wine. Granted, it's the wine that brings us all under one roof at one time, but the personal connections can be hard to really cement in an event of this proportion. I'd love to see the commission do some sort of marketing campaigns in the future about how wine brings people together – rather than just bragging about the numbers involved (amount of wineries, participants, restaurants etc).
We here at "the foot" (as GaryV calls it), are all about the people and finding ways to bring them together over great food and great wines – let's hope that the rest of the industry can help support us in that.
If you've never been to an event like this, you owe it to yourself to at least go one time to really get a small glimpse of how massive the wine industry really is and the impact it has in our overall economy at large. I promise it'll wear you out by the end of the day but at least you can say you've "been there, done that".

My sports claim to fame is: Being on the bus with the great Gene Tenace when I was broadcasting for the Spikes in 2006. We were a St. Louis affiliate then and on a bus trip to Williamsport we were watching "Anchorman." One of the famous lines in the movie is when one of the characters says "Gene Tenace at the plate and.WHAMMMYY!" It was pretty cool, watching that movie and sitting behind Tenace, who was mentioned in the movie on a bus headed to Bowman Field. To top it all off, he got up, flexed his muscles to show that even though he was a roving hitting instructor in the minor leagues, he was still very much a tough guy.
If I were the czar of local sports, the one thing I would change would be: Bring common sense to the game of baseball. Not much of it currently exists.

Dragon Quest VIII
Journey of the Cursed King.
Previous Dragon Quest games held oodles and oodles of hardcore, old-school RPG gameplay but were also paired with simple graphics that, on occasion, made them look like amateur fan projects rather than professionally developed games. This trend has ended with DQ8, as Level-5 (creator of the fine Dark Cloud franchise) worked hard on the production values (overall visuals, battle animations, character expressions) and made DQ8 one of the best-looking games on the PS2 to date. DQ8 represents perhaps the most impressive use of cel shading in a game; it looks so good, in fact, that I'd actually take the time to just look around and absorb the scenery.
Yet despite its 21st-century visuals, DQ8 maintains the series' core gameplay. Combat is still turn based, and random battles remain plentiful. Yeah, you get a story with some cut-scenes, but don't expect a philosophical treatise (hi, Xenosaga!) or J-pop dance number (how ya doin', FFX-2!). The cut-scenes tell just enough to advance the story (a pretty basic one involving you, a cursed king, and a world-spanning quest to go after an evil jester) and give a bit of color to the world; otherwise, you're back to doing two very basic things: Exploring the world and killing the monsters in it. Unique to the American DQ8 release is the use of voice in significant cut-scenes, which will likely be a bone of contention for some players since the voice actors portray a very deliberate form of British melodrama. I enjoyed the goofy, lighthearted voices, but people who watched me play would comment on how grating they are. However, both fans and detractors can agree that the voice of Yangus, the lovable bandit in your party, is spot on. But other than the voices, the menu, and some other tweaks, the American release is just as hefty and old school as its original Japanese incarnation.
To say that DQ8 is vast is quite the understatement. In order to finish the very first quest, in which you're asked to retrieve an item from a nearby cave, I had to take a good two to three hours just to level up enough to survive inside. By the 34th hour, I had just acquired a boat that lets me cross the ocean. At this rate, I might be able to complete the main story by hour 55, and I think I'm working through it a bit fast. That's not counting the time I could be gambling in the casino, gathering items to combine in the alchemy pot for secret goodies, or fighting special monsters to recruit for my monster team. While one could quibble that this is admittedly a slower-paced game than most, fans and newbies alike can relish the fact that even though DQ8 delivers a whole lot of game that will last a good while, it's still not as glacially paced as past DQ titles.
Another big change in DQ8 is that the battle system now lets you target specific enemies. Regarding another development, some DQ veterans might be bothered by how DQ8 handles character advancement; there is no longer a job system, like in previous games--rather, you now get skill points that you can distribute among five skills per character (three weapons, bare fists, and one unique skill). The number of skill points you earn varies (sometimes you'll get as many as nine or as few as three when you level up), and the gap between new abilities means that you'll have to decide whether you want to slowly gain abilities in multiple fields or focus on one or two skills to gain abilities faster. True, it's a lot faster to level up skills as opposed to leveling jobs in previous games, but fans who appreciated that job system might be annoyed at how much simpler this skill system is.
A final note to emphasize just how big DQ8 is: The landscape could be considered a character in itself--it rivals the state of San Andreas in size and detail. It's one of the few landscapes where you can look in any direction and realize that the mountain in the distance isn't scenery, but something you can venture to and climb to a great height, and then look down and trace your path as far as you can see. The game world is so big that you have the option of cutting down travel time through the use of items such as a tiger mount, a summoned bird, and a Teleportation spell. By the end, you'll have wandered through forests, deserts, ruins, moon worlds, snow-capped mountains, pirate caves, and dragon villages. This grand landscape is something that embodies Dragon Quest VIII, and though its gameplay may still feel like it was developed in 1995 rather than 2005, the game neatly exhibits the PS2's original creed: "Live in your world, play in ours."
Verdict: It's a massive, old-school, epic RPG that at times is a bit too old school.

The Warrens Occult Museum is the oldest and only museum of its kind. This world-renowned museum has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the world. Inch for Inch Their Museum houses the largest array of obscure and Haunted artifacts. Items used in extremely dangerous occult activities and diabolical practices around the world. To touch one of these items would be the opposite of touching something holy, something blessed.
See the Shadow doll that can come to you in your dreams, and stop your heart! See the Satanic Idol found in the deep woods of Connecticut, the Conjuring mirror used for summoning spirit, the Vampire's coffin used by a modern day vampire, Bare witness to a Ragedy-Ann doll which is responsible for a death of a young man, and multiple attacks on those who once mockingly came in contact, See Masks used as a Topa for Diabolical projection, Child Tomb stones that were used as Satanic Alters, a Famous Organ that plays by itself. You will also see Psychic Photography, Pictures that would combust, and Crucifixes that were malevolently thrown from walls and desecrated, Egyptian, and African cursed items.. Death curses, a Shrunken head, Possessed toys and animals, Voodoo, Fertility and other Killer dolls!
One of their most famous artifacts – The Annabelle Doll will be on exhibit. Annabelle is believed to be responsible for the death of an individual who came in to contact with it.. This doll also reportedly slashed a grown man several times across the chest,.She terrorized a family for months until the Warrens and a an Episcopal priest were called in and an exorcism was performed. Although Annabelle has been exorcised several times it is believed that some energy is still attached to this doll.
PRS Director Ryan Buell co-hosted visited the Occult museum while hosting a tour with Lorraine Warren. It is there when Ryan Buell first claims he saw Annabelle's head move up and down startling him, as if Annabelle was nodding at him, as if to acknowledge his presence.
The Warrens Occult Museum is a place that any seasoned paranormal investigator or enthusiast in the world would agree, is a Must see. If you are looking to experience & learn about The Warrens, view Case files, and see over 5o years of Occult items that will change the way you see good and evil, then Warrenology awaits.
***The Warrens Occult Museum is currently only viewable via Warrenology events.***

BATON ROUGE -- Bars and casinos in Louisiana would be smoke-free starting Aug. 15 under legislation that cleared the Senate on Wednesday after emotional testimony from several lawmakers about tobacco's effects on their relatives.
But Senate Bill 348 by Sen. Rob Marionneaux Jr., D-Livonia, which was approved on a 23-12 vote, faces uncertain prospects in the House, where a less-restrictive smoking ban was snuffed out in committee last week.
It's the second year in a row the Senate has agreed to expand Louisiana's indoor smoking ban, which currently covers most indoor workplaces, including restaurants, but makes exceptions for bars and gambling venues.

SPRINGFIELD – The mother of 17-year-old Alicia M. Rodrigues, the Ludlow teen killed when the car in which she was riding crashed in October, now faces three charges of getting alcohol for minors, including her daughter.
A Hampden Superior Court grand jury on Thursday indicted Michelle Zygarowski, 43, of Ludlow, on three counts of furnishing alcohol to minors. She has been summonsed to court for arraignment Tuesday.
The charges allege she bought alcohol for her daughter and two other minors who were also passengers in the car when it crashed.
Rodrigues was a Ludlow High School senior. The obituary at the time of her death asked that donations in Alicia's memory be made to Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Zygarowski is not charged with furnishing alcohol to the driver, 18-year-old Jake Trombley of Brandon Avenue, Springfield.
Assistant District Attorney James M. Forsyth, when asked why there is no charge relating to the driver, said that unlike the other three minors, Trombley was not present when the alcohol was bought by Zygarowski. Forsyth said Trombley did later drink the alcohol she purchased.
Trombley earlier this month pleaded innocent to a charge of vehicular homicide while operating under the influence of alcohol and negligent operation in Rodrigues' death.
Police reported Trombley was behind the wheel at about 1:15 a.m. Oct. 2 when he crashed his 1995 Nissan Maxima at Allen Street near Sumner Avenue in East Forest Park. Trombley was heading east on Allen Street when the car went out of control and struck a light pole, flipping onto its roof and pinning Rodrigues underneath, according to police,
The two other passengers were uninjured, police said. Police said Rodrigues was not wearing a seat belt. One of the people in the car told investigators that seconds before the crash, Rodrigues had shouted that they needed to put on their seat belts.
Forsyth, at Trombley's arraignment in District Court in October, said, "He was driving at a high rate of speed after consuming several shots of alcohol. Passengers advised him to slow down."

Under the forward seat of the Learjet streaking over New Mexico sits a $15 Igloo Playmate picnic cooler. Inside is neither soda nor sandwiches, but a human heart bound for a waiting transplant patient at the University of Arizona medical center in Tucson. Accompanying the cargo are two surgeons, a scrub nurse and transplant coordinator Jan Copeland, 37—the so-called harvest team that had flown to Texas earlier this day to remove the organ from the brain-dead victim of a car crash. Copeland, mindful of the short four hours permitted between removal and implant, checks her watch and thinks ahead to Tucson and the waiting transplant surgeon, Dr. Jack Copeland, her husband.
Today's transplant will be the medical center's 84th since Jack, the hospital's 44-year-old chief of cardiothoracic surgery, launched the transplant program in 1979. Jan now plays a part in almost half of those operations by locating donors and handling the logistics of organ delivery. The pair's unusual partnership has not only been a boon to patients, but it has served their more personal affair of the heart as well.
For transplant surgeons and their mates, the daily "life-and-death situation puts a unique strain on relationships," says Jack, survivor of a failed first marriage. "If you have a patient you're afraid might die pulling you toward the hospital, there's hardly anything that can override that and keep you at home. In fact there's nothing. This brings us together in a nice way."
Usually, anyway. Jan recalls last Thanksgiving, when her husband performed four transplants during a 10-day period, and the couple ended up sharing their holiday meal in the hospital cafeteria. "Barfy soysteak sandwiches," says Jan, "but at least we were together."
This day, which has sent Jan jetting across the Southwest, promises to be little different. Her husband had gone to the hospital at 6:30 a.m. to make his rounds; Jan had arrived at her office two hours later. At 12:30 the call came in informing her of a suitable donor in Texas, and, after hurriedly chartering a plane and a hospital-to-airport helicopter, she and the harvest team had begun their life-and-death race.
By evening Jack's transplant team is assembled, and their patient—a 54-year-old autoworker—is prepped for surgery. With his wife's plane still airborne, Copeland and a fellow surgeon set to work opening the chest and inserting tubing to be used later for carrying blood to and from the bypass machine. By 9:35 the patient is "ready to go," but Jan and her team have not yet arrived. "I'd rather be in that position than running behind," Jack would say later. "You were having conniptions," Jan would respond.
At Stanford University in the '60s, Copeland had had no dreams of becoming a surgeon. Hoping instead for a career in biochemistry, he found he lacked the A grade required for graduate work and reluctantly accepted a job doing research on canine heart transplants. ("It was either that or a job testing dog urine," he now jokes.) By the time he graduated from medical school, he was hooked to the pioneering work in transplants. ("It consumed me day and night.") He had also married a nursing student and produced two children, Patrick, now 18, and Jennifer, 15.
In 1977, after practicing general and heart surgery for four years at the Stanford medical center, he was offered his present post in Tucson and readily accepted. "The pay wasn't great," he says, "but the opportunity was excellent. I never looked at another job."
It was at the University of Arizona medical center in 1980 that he met Jan Sailer, then a pediatric nurse and recent divorcée. With Jack's marriage already crumbling, "one thing led to another," says Jan. The pair eventually moved in together and were married in October 1983. They now share a three-bedroom mission-style stucco home two miles from the hospital. The quarters are modest, partly because alimony and child support claim 40 percent of Jack's salary. The amount seems "reasonable," he says, and as for the unpretentious housing, no matter: "We spend most of our time at the hospital."
At 9:48 a surgeon bursts into the operating room carrying the Igloo, and Jack turns on the bypass machine so he can begin removing his patient's diseased heart. While he's working, Jan enters the O.R. in a sterile hospital gown to drop off the information she has gathered on the donor. She then heads for the blood lab with samples for tissue typing and finally to the sixth-floor waiting room, where she tries to assure the patient's worried wife that everything is going well.
It is 12:30 a.m., 16 hours after her workday began, before Jan falls into bed. Jack is not so lucky. By now the transplant is almost completed, but an elderly woman has just been brought into the emergency room with a ruptured aorta. At 2 a.m. he returns to surgery and tries in vain to help save the hemorrhaging victim. His day stretches to 22 hours before he returns home at 4:30 a.m.
Such schedules restrict the Cope-lands' time together, which consists mostly of Saturday grocery shopping, dinners and vacations. They now also make time for son Patrick, who has moved in while attending the University of Arizona (leaving his younger sister with their mother in Tallahassee, Fla.). Left guarding the home front are a basset hound named Fred and a cat named Scooter. Another pet, a rabbit with a transplanted heart, was killed by a neighborhood dog last November. For Jack, the son of a chemical engineer, and Jan, the daughter of a widowed secretary, the strain of their special career has become the cement in their relationship.
"People always ask me, 'Don't you find it difficult working with your husband?' " notes Jan. "I find that it's easy." Says Jack: "Sometimes in the middle of the night when I get a donor call, I've lost all my enthusiasm and would just as soon roll over and get a good night's sleep. Many times I've felt if it weren't for Jan, I don't think I could continue doing what I'm doing."
On Saturday, after the transplant, Jack sleeps through his 7:30 a.m. tennis game but arrives at the hospital an hour later to check on his patient. In the afternoon he grabs a 90-minute nap back at his house, then returns to take the now mending autoworker off his ventilator and remove his endotracheal tube. It is 6 p.m. by now, and while he is writing instructions for the night nursing staff, Copeland gets a call from the emergency room. "We've got a stab wound to the heart; we're taking him to the O.R. now," he is told. Says the surgeon: "I'll meet you there...."

Guardian Cellars
Police officer Jerry Riener and wife Jennifer Sullivan own Guardian Cellars, a winery named after his career as a Seattle narcotics officer. When he's not dealing with a nearly naked woman in a hotel lobby or staking out a drug bust, he's driving a forklift, topping off barrels, and making beautiful wines.
Jerry's interest in winemaking started when he volunteered to help make wine at Mark Ryan in Woodinville, Washington. Owner and winemaker Mark McNeely, a guy with killer winemaking skills but not so much with the office work, hired Jerry to help out with the books. In return, Jerry got to make a few barrels of his own wine. Jerry named his label "Guardian" in honor of his day job, and produced an amazing couple of vintages of a very big red called Gun Metal, a hefty blend of Cabernet, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The Gun Metal is a massive wine, aged for at least a year more than most wines of its type. It appeals to those who enjoy the biggest, heartiest possible red wine.
More About Guardian Cellars
Over the last five years, as Guardian Cellars gained followers, Jerry expanded his production and in 2011 moved into his own winery space in the building that houses Mark Ryan. Jerry still has his day job. He recently left undercover work with a Narcotics Unit for a new job in law enforcement - and he's back to wearing a police uniform. Since he names his wines to reference his work (Gun Metal, Chalk Line, The Wanted, etc.) might his next wine be "Copper Cabernet" or perhaps "Smokey Syrah?

Sixteen teachers from the Donna school district will return to the classroom this summer as they participate in The University of Texas-Pan American sixth annual Physics for Teachers program, June 3-14.
The program - funded by a federal Eisenhower Professional Development Grant - allows a group of science and math teachers from area school districts to learn basic concepts of physics using the latest technology, including motion detectors, sensor probes and TI graphic calculators.
"The program is designed for teacher preparation and training in the physical sciences for middle and high school teachers," said Dr. Mohammad I. Bhatti, program coordinator.
"The participating teachers make and take activities to use in their classrooms to help create student excitement about science phenomena that will transcend into other sciences, both in secondary education and college."
A kick-off ceremony June 3 welcomed program participants and informed them about the upcoming courses and topics, such as micro gravity, properties of matter and energy conservation law.
"The different ways we teach, the better quality education we give," said Ray Quiroga, eighth-grade science teacher from the Donna school district. "I hope to learn more about physics and chemistry concepts and laboratory experiments."
The program lasts 17 months, beginning with an intensive two-week introductory course and continuing throughout the fall and spring semesters, during which the teachers meet once a month for an entire day of training.
Participants then visit the Smithsonian in Washington, D. C., or the NASA Spacer Center in Houston.
Since its inception in 1997, Physics for Teachers has trained about 125 teachers from the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo, McAllen, Edinburg and Mission school districts.
For more information on the Physics for Teachers program, contact Bhatti or Dr. A.H.M. Abdul Hannan at 956/381-3521.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Home Decor
|Retro / Vintage, Funky
What are you most proud of? Finally being able to make wild geese blocks... I tried various ways of making them and the easiest and (I think) the best way is found on About.com Quilting by Janet Wickell. http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpatternsprojects/ss/No-Waste-Flying-Geese-Quilt-Pattern.htm I am also pleased that I have both the duvet and the scatter cushion all ready and waiting for Lou and Louie to return home from holidays tomorrow as a surprise:)
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Try something new and challenge yourself, it is so much fun when it turns out ok:) Oh and make sure you research it well to know what you are doing as I wasted so much time and fabric. It took me three attempts to get the right size for the wild geese, I was nearly loosing the will to continue! I can't believe I am writing this but I am going to make more cushions using the wild geese pattern:)
I really like your cushion, It is beautiful with the duvet. They will be very pleased. You did really well on both. Thank you for sharing.
They look great together! You can also make flying geese by cutting two squares (for the "sky") and a rectangle twice as wide as the square. Lay the squares side by side on top of the rectangle , right sides together (RST) and stitch from the lower corners of the squares diagonally up to the top center of the rectangle. Trim away the outside halfs of the squares and rectangle leaving a 1/4" seam. Press open! (if you don't want to lose the trimmed away parts, before cutting just stitch a second seam 1/2" away from the first and cut between the stitching lines. You will end up with two extra, much smaller Half Squares for some other project.) I like your branching out and the results!!
Looks great! She will be so pleased!
This is a lovely design. I am new to patchwork & quilting and love you designs and the colours you use. I hope you don't mind if I use your pattern. Regards and happy sewing Kath
