Olesya Vaskevich, a University of South Carolina law school student, cheerfully calls herself an international child, and for good reason.
She grew up in Kazan, Russia, before moving with her family to North Augusta shortly before her 16th birthday. As a USC undergraduate, she participated in a study abroad session in France.
Vaskevich recently was recognized with the John O. McDougall Family Law Award by the USC School of Law presented to the student with the highest grade in family law. She will graduate next month and has accepted a position with the Columbia office of the Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein law firm.
She has thoroughly enjoyed her experiences in North Augusta and now Columbia, but growing up in Russia was important to her, as well.
"I'm grateful for that influence as a cultural heritage for me," Vaskevich said. "I love history and reading writers like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. My mother and I liked to travel in Europe and Russia. I've seen it all, and I love learning about new cultures."
Her hometown of Kazan, with a population of about 1 million, is eight hours south of Moscow. Vaskevich lived with her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother throughout her childhood.
"School was very different over there," she said. "The standards are different and definitely harder. But the middle class has a lower standard of living than here."
She heard so many stories from her family about World War II, the rise of the Soviet Union and how everyday people didn't know much about the Cold War.
When Vaskevich was 15, her mother, Kksanana, met David Pearson, an American on vacation. They later married and moved to North Augusta. They now live in Augusta.
Vaskevich soon enrolled at the city's high school. She had few problems with the transition to America, as she had begun learning English in the third grade. The South Carolina accents did throw her off for a while, she said with a laugh.
"I like it more in North Augusta and in Columbia now," she said. "I like the people with everybody smiling."
Vaskevich said she had wonderful teachers and enjoyed French classes. At USC, she double majored in political science and French before heading on to law school.
"That was a whirlwind," she said, "different from what I expected. My favorite class was with Judge Joseph Anderson, the U.S. District Court Judge. It was an evidence class, and he made it just fascinating with his war stories, even at 8 a.m."
The USC School of Law doesn't offer an area of expertise in family law, but Vaskevich especially enjoyed the class that led to her award.
"These are very human stories, very real," she said. "Lawyers are needed to help for unfortunate situations in divorce and child custody situations. You step out and see the big picture, that hey, we do useful things."

HERSHEY, Pa. – The HERSHEY BEARS announced today that the club has signed forward Jon Kalinski to an American Hockey League contract for the 2012-2013 season. The announcement was made by BEARS President/GM Doug Yingst.
Kalinski, 25, comes to Chocolatetown after splitting last season between the AHL's Adirondack Phantoms and Norfolk Admirals.

He was acquired by the Tampa Bay Lightning on February 18, 2012 and following his subsequent reassignment to Norfolk, Kalinski appeared in five games before missing the remainder of the season due to injury.
The 6-1, 180-pound native of Bonnyville, AB spent nearly his entire professional career within the Flyers' organization. He has appeared in 22 NHL contests with Philadelphia, totaling five points (one goal, four assists). With the AHL Phantoms, Kalinski posted a total of 83 points (35 goals, 48 assists).
Prior to turning pro, Kalinski played three years of collegiate hockey at Minnesota State University – Mankato (WCHA), where he tallied 29 goals and 27 assists in 106 career games.
Kalinski was originally selected by Philadelphia in the sixth round (152nd overall) in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
The 2012-13 season will mark the HERSHEY BEARS' 75th anniversary in the American Hockey League. Season ticket plans are on sale now by calling (717) 508-BEAR, with many different flexible plans available. Season ticket plans start as low as $165.

Beach Boys reunions over
The day after the Beach Boys won the first performance Grammy Award of the group's half-century long career, Brian Wilson threw cold water on the chances for another reunion tour.
Asked if he anticipates another round of Beach Boys reunion shows, Wilson told reporters "No, I don't think so."
The tour, which made Pollstar's list of the Top 100 highest-grossing tours of the year, ended on a sour note when singer Mike Love announced he would resume touring with his own lineup of the group, including longtime member Bruce Johnston, but without founding members Wilson, Al Jardine and guitarist David Marks.
Love's move set off a firestorm of media coverage and fan comments, much of it critical of Love, who years ago was granted sole permission to use the Beach Boys name by Wilson, Jardine and the estates of deceased members Carl and Dennis Wilson.
Sunday's Grammy was the second award for Wilson, who previously won for another "Smile"-related performance from his 2004 solo reconstruction and completion of the long-shelved concept album.
Upton graces cover of SI swimsuit issue
Kate Upton is once again the cover girl of Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue.
Repeating her world-class pinup feat for a second consecutive year, the 20-year-old, 5-feet-10-inch Upton graces the cover of the 2013 edition, which was officially unveiled Monday night on TV on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" (with 10 of the models presenting the Top Ten List).
The new edition -- marking the 50th anniversary -- appeared on newsstands Tuesday.
It's Upton's third appearance in a Swimsuit issue.
This year for the first time, the fashion shoot covers the entire world, with 17 Sports Illustrated swimsuit models journeying to all seven continents.
Willis accepts award, raps French tax plan
While accepting an award as Commander of the Arts in France for his contribution to cinema, Bruce Willis knocked the nation's plan to tax the richest at 75 percent.
The 57-year-old actor, whose latest film is "A Good Day to Die Hard," told the large crowd in Paris that he feels honored that his work has been recognized. He attended the event with his wife, Emma Heming.
Willis was born in Europe and said he feels at home in France. But he said he opposes President Francois Hollande's plan and would complain about it if he lived in France.
Willis also said he thinks there'll be more "Die Hard" movies to come. The one out now is the fifth.
Amanda Knox to tell her story to ABC News
Amanda Knox, the college junior who spent four years in an Italian prison after being accused of murdering her British roommate, will tell her story to ABC News.
Network officials said Knox will sit down with Diane Sawyer for a prime-time special airing April 30.
Knox was an American student studying in Italy when, in 2007, she became the center of a murder case that seized the world's attention. She was convicted in 2009. But after an appeal, she was acquitted and released in October 2011.
The interview is timed to the publication of Knox's book, "Waiting to Be Heard."
Beyonc� says making documentary healed her
Beyonc� said making her upcoming HBO documentary "Life is But a Dream" healed her in "so many ways" and thinking about it makes her "want to cry."
The film addresses topics that the notoriously private singer normally doesn't address in public. It chronicles her 2011 decision to no longer have her father Matthew Knowles as her manager, her miscarriage and even the rumors that she was faking her pregnancy with daughter Blue Ivy by really using a surrogate.
"That was very odd," says the singer.
"Life is But a Dream" airs Saturday on HBO.
Police investigate Brown's car accident
Beverly Hills police are investigating an accident in which Chris Brown escaped injury after crashing his Porsche into a wall while being chased by paparazzi.
Brown told police he lost control of his black Porsche during the chase.
Police officials said it was unknown if paparazzi in the pursuing vehicles have been identified.
Brown also came under fire for refusing to applaud Frank Ocean, who beat him out for best urban contemporary album at Sunday's Grammy Awards. In an earlier incident, Brown reportedly punched Ocean over a parking dispute.

1991 Jeep Wrangler SUV 2dr SUV 4WD
Looking for a dependable, strong, go-
anywhere fun Jeep? This is it. I opted
for the 4 cylinder because it has
plenty of power with better fuel
Wranglers are for adventurous people
who want to have fun - not for people
who want a comfortable cadillac. Since
the Jeep is not the most comfortable -
but does what it is supposed to
Fun factor & offroad capabilities. Also
great on ice and snow driving.
The only thing I can think of is for
reclinable seats - the driver and
passanger seats are fixed back, non-
reclinable. Not a big deal though.
My jeep was the best suv i think i will
ever own. I used it for off-roading and
i drove it throw a mud up to the middle
of the windshield and it powered right
throw. It was crazy off-raod. I had Mud
Kings 235/75/15 that is only 2 sizes
bigger then stock. There was no lift in
it. I had to replace the tranny once
but i was rough on the jeep when i was
off-road. Other then that it just
needed basic maintance.
I am sad to say that i totaled my jeep.
The 4 by 4 system was the best it would
go throw any thing i put it throw butit
would not pull any one out.
Jeep should have stayed with the square
This is a tough workhorse. After 12
years and 140,000 miles still runs
great. Starts every morning. But it is
what it is... Don't buy this vehical
thinking you are getting anything else
but a Jeep. It is not a car! If buying
make sure you get the 4.0 IL6- It makes
all the difference in the world. I have
had two batteries and the water pump
replaced in 12 years. I cant say enough
good things about Jeep.
Very inexpensive common parts. If you
are in need of auto parts.
Lift kits are 500 - 700 $$ very
Easy to add after market parts to.
4.0 Engine
Tougher front and rear axles-DANA 44's
Not for everyone. Look for one
w/hardtop. New hardtops are ungodly
expensive in retail aftermarket
($1600-$2K+). Get it with the jeep -
figure out how to take it off later.
Conversation at highway speed w/o hard
top, forget it. A/C, forget it. Don't
get too excited about a stereo system. A
Jeep is a big vibrating square metal box
& you fight road noise too. Recommend a
bra/guard up front, or the Jeep grill
gets all chipped up. Not for extensive
traveling, OK for day trips. Can
really have fun & trick it for
4-wheeling. Lots of fun stuff to buy.
Watch the tranny with the 6-cyl., esp
the 3-spd auto. But you still got to
stomp it!
* 4.0L inline 6 (new in 1991 model year)
is extremely nice. Do not settle for
the 4 unless you like driving in the
right-hand lane.
* the old-school sport bars (1991 last
year before the rear shoulder belts -
the newer wrangler sport bars just don't
look as cool).
Add overdrive gear & adjust tranny to
closer overall gear ratios.

NX and Tecnomatix Help LG Electronics Solve Chronic Design and Production Issues to Maintain Global Competitive Edge
LG Electronics engineers and manufactures home entertainment, mobile communications, home appliance, and air conditioning and business solutions. Striving to further improve its reputation as a provider of high-performance home appliances, LG Electronics stays focused on ways to provide better products for its customers. To enhance overall quality and reduce defects LG chose Siemens PLM Software. LG deployed the NX and the Variation Analysis CAD capabilities of Tecnomatix. Siemens NX and Tecnomatix solutions enabled researchers to determine errors in the assembly order and assembly method of products. While not citing exact figures, LG Electronics noted a much better cost-efficiency through reduced rate of inferiority via simulation. LG Electronics also increased production by determining elements influencing tolerance and revising tolerance to determine inferiority.

The possibilities for future Asia-Pacific security cooperation between Australia and Canada are promising. Economic development and population growth mean that security challenges present themselves as opportunities. Australia and Canada are well positioned to influence regional approaches to transnational challenges such as crime, terrorism, piracy and environmental degradation, and to contribute to food, energy and cyber security. This paper explores the current state of security cooperation between Australia and Canada in the Asia-Pacific, and identifies opportunities to extend the relationship, focussing on collaborative efforts like economic and maritime cooperation, which may help tackle transnational security challenges.
Series: Australia-Canada Security Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific
The three papers in this series, co-published with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), are part of a two-year project between CIGI and ASPI exploring the possibilities for Canadian and Australian cooperation in promoting strengthened security and regional governance in the Asia-Pacific. The project will culminate in a special report that will contribute to discussions at the February 2014 Australia-Canada Economic Leadership Forum in Melbourne. The report will be presented later in 2014 to both Australian and Canadian governments.

No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.''-->--''The Night Circus'', opening linesIn 1886 a traveling circus became a sensation. Open only at night and constructed entirely in black and white, the ''Cirque des Reves'' is almost literally a circus of dreams.However, something strange is going on behind the scenes. Prospero the Enchanter and Mr. Alexander H-- have a game. Trained from a young age, their students [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Celia]] and [[HermeticMagic Marco]] compete in a battle of imagination and will. The scene of their battle is the Cirque, and the game affects the lives of the patrons and performers alike. The only catch to the game? The competitors don't know the rules, they don't know how to win or when they'll win, and they don't even know who their opponent is (at first). All they know is the intimate sense of familiarity they get from one another with each breathtaking addition to the circus that pushes the boundaries of reality.It is a clever allegory for a number of heavy philsophical themes, each of which seamlessly blend in the narrative.Published in fall of 2011, ''The Night Circus'' is Erin Morgenstern's debut novel. The novel also was adapted into a web game by Failbetter Games, the creators of ''VideoGame/FallenLondon''.----!!This book provides examples of:* AbusiveParents: Hector Bowen.** Celia's unnamed mother is implied to be this. She called her "the devil's child" and is presumably the reason the mother committed suicide.** Mr. A H-- is a more mild example. He is certainly ''neglectful'', and perhaps as emotionally abusive as Hector (if not as physically abusive).* AboveGoodAndEvil: Both Hector Bowen and Mr. A H-- [[spoiler:(especially in his conversation with Widget in 1903)]] show a great deal of amorality towards their actions. It's remarked by several characters that they may have forgotten what it means to be human anymore.* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: The Challenge.* TheAgeless: Once bound to the Circus, no one but Poppet and Widget visibly ages. [[spoiler: Also goes for the Really700YearsOld characters like Hector, Mr. A.H-, and Tsukiko.]]* AllPartOfTheShow: Vast components of the circus that should be physically impossible are simply accepted as being extraordinary engineering, resourcefulness and showmanship.* AlternateHistory* AnachronicOrder: Bailey's chapters are interspersed amongst the general narrative, despite being set towards the end. The climax of the novel is when the two narratives meet.* AnAesop: Where to ''begin?!'' The book is expertly laced with them.** [[spoiler: Stories have power ('magic' as it is stated)]] is presented at the very end, a lesson most tropers probably appreciate.** The Challenge is inevitable. Both participants had no choice in starting it. Neither of them know the rules, and at the start, there is no discernable way to "win". Sound like RealLife to anyone else?* ArrangedMarriage: Why Isobel fled Barcelona.* ArtInitiatesLife* AngstySurvivingTwin: [[spoiler: Lalaine Burgess, of the Burgess sisters, who are not strictly identical twins but fraternal sisters that people regard as twins]].* AwfulTruth: [[spoiler: The Challenge ends when one competitor dies. Which sucks in itself, but is especially painful given Marco's and Celia's infatuation with one another.]]** [[spoiler: And if Tsukiko's story means falling in love with your competitor is normal then]] this sad turn of events is tragically standard.* TheBeautifulElite: Celia and Marco, to some degree. They're both immediately well-known for their good looks; by the middle of the novel, they're quite popular and Celia, at least, leads a rather illustrious life.** Though it is revealed later that Marco uses magic to make himself more attractive than he actually is.* BigNameFan: [[invoked]] Friedeck Thiessen is an in story example.* BookEnds: [[spoiler:"The circus arrives without warning. . ."]]* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Bailey's sister Caroline.* BrokenBird: Tsukiko.* [[spoiler: BittersweetEnding: Celia and Marco both escape the challenge... but are eternally bound to the circus as pseudo-ghosts and may or may not go insane from being immortal.]]* BoyMeetsGirl: [[spoiler: Isobel and Marco, before Marco meets Celia anyway.]]* CallingTheOldManOut: Celia has a moment like this with her father, [[spoiler: when she realizes that to win means the other must die, she tells her father that the only reason these games go on is because he and Alexander are much too cowardly to face off against each other.]]* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler: Hector Bowen.]]* CastsNoShadow: Mr. A. H--* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Hector Bowen's failed experiment]].* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Tsukiko, the mysterious {{contortionist}} who auditions for the circus before it begins hiring, is the 'victor' of a previous competition between Hector and Alexander. Bailey, the young reveur, becomes Marco's replacement as keystone for the circus.]]* CircusBrat: The twins Poppet and Widget grow up in the circus. Their parents train big cats and they have their own act, with kittens.* CoolBigSis: Celia becomes this to the Murray Twins, combined with BigBrotherMentor. ** Averted by Bailey's older sister Caroline.* [[DoggedNiceGuy Dogged Nice Girl]]: Isobel to Marco.* DoingItForTheArt: Chandresh, in-universe.** To clarify, the introduction of Chandresh is him throwing a knife at a review of one of his productions that describes it as "almost transcendent." He is [[BerserkButton positively furious]] at the word ''almost.''--> Clearly he must be doing something wrong. If his productions are merely almost transcendent, when the possibility of true transcendence exists somewhere nearby, waiting to be attained, then there is something else that must be done.* DragonsPreferPrincesses: The clock includes a princess who paces as a dragon's prisoner.* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:The challenge is a contest to see which student breaks first and can only end when one of the challengers decides to end it themselves. Tsukiko's opponent in the last challenge ended it when she burned herself with her own magic.]]** Also, Celia is first delivered to her father after her mother kills herself. [[spoiler:When Celia considers ending the challenge herself, she tells Marco that she was always more her mother's daughter.]]* DueToTheDead: Celia gets many condolence letters and flower because of Hector Bowen's death.** [[spoiler: Tara Burgess]]'s funeral has many mourners and many flowers* EarnYourHappyEnding* EnsembleCast: Very nearly ''every single character'' gets to be the viewpoint character for at least one scene. Marco and Celia are the main characters, but not by much.* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Many of the characters are introduced in a way that makes it immediately clear what they are like. Most notable are Celia, Hector, Mr. A. H-, Chandresh, and Tsukiko's. * FaintingSeer: Poppet, especially when Bailey comes into the picture.* AFateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Hector's attempt at permanently dodging death results in him being trapped forever as an insubstantial ghost-thing. It's never quite explained.]]* FirstNameBasis: Celia Bowen and Herr Thiessen, once they meet.* {{Foreshadowing}}: This exchange.--> '''Mr. A. H--:''' She has remarkable control for one so young, but such a temper is always an unfortunate variable. It can lead to impulsive behavior.--> '''Hector:''' [[TemptingFate She'll either grow out of it or learn to control it. It's a minor issue.]]** When Marco tells Isobel about how he first met Celia, she pulls out a Tarot card "L'Amoreux" (The Lovers) - [[spoiler: a man between two women]].* FoodPorn: The descriptions of the food at the party that Celia attends fit. * FortuneTeller: Isobel. Celia pretends to do this in her youth as a way to make money. [[spoiler: Poppet replaces Isobel at some point according to the second-person circus-description sections.]]* ForWantOfANail: It's made clear that things wouldn't have turned out the way they did if other things had not happened. * FramingDevice: [[spoiler: Widget is the narrator, which makes perfect sense in-universe since his ability allows him to "read" people and their pasts. He has a very extensive knowledge of what happened, and relays it to Mr. A. H-- in the form of the book we, the audence, are reading. All the details of magic that are glossed over are can be attributed to holes in Widget's own understanding.]]* {{Geas}}: Celia and Marco are bound using rings. [[spoiler: If they try to leave the field of play and mean it, they experience unendurable pain.]]--> '''Celia:''' We do not feel the bars unless we press against them.* HalfIdenticalTwins: Widget and Poppet.* [[HermeticMagic Hermetic Mage]]: Marco.* HeroesWantRedheads: Bailey for Poppet.* HiddenDepths: Many of the characters appear one dimensional at first, but reveal more of their personalities as the novel progresses.* HonoraryAunt: Tante Padva* HopelessSuitor: Isobel once Marco meets Celia. Possibly Herr Friedrick Thiessen, since it's implied that he has feelings for Celia, to the point where everyone assumes he's the one she's involved with.* [[IronicNickname Ironic Stage Name]]: Hector Bowen is the exact opposite of his stage name's namesake, [[Theatre/TheTempest Prospero the Magician.]] Whereas Prospero was was a loving father who willingly gave up his magic at the end of his story, Hector is both physically and emotionally abusive to Celia and is consumed by his magic.* ItAlwaysRainsAtFunerals: [[spoiler: Tara Burgess's funeral.]]* ItWasAGift: Poppet's glove to Bailey* JustAStupidAccent: Tsukiko has problems with conjugating the verbs, yet she drops expressions like "social obligation" as if it's no big deal.* {{Kitsune}}: On the carousel* KnightInShiningArmor: The Knight of Swords.* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Marco can erase memories, and is forced to repeatedly do this to Chandresh so that he doesn't find out what's really going on with the circus. [[spoiler: It has a very negative effect on his mental stability, which leads to him murdering Heir Theissen, and in the end he never recovers his memories, although it's implied that him no longer being involved with the circus will be good for him.]]* LipstickLesbian: [[spoiler:Tsukiko]].* LoveTriangle: Celia, Marco, and Isobel.** [[SiblingTriangle Mr. Barris and the Burgess Sisters]].* MagicAIsMagicA: Thoroughly averted. It's left ambiguous how the characters perform magic, leaving it with an air of mystique.* MagicalRealism: Is to magic what ''Literature/TheTimeTravelersWife'' is to TimeTravel. It even has a plug by Audrey Niffenegger on the back.* MagiTek: Most of the tents in the circus consist of magic charms overlaying simplistic clockwork toys.** The trope is invoked by Mr. Barris, the engineer, working in collaboration with the Circus's two magicians to create works that should be physically impossible, but by the very flamboyant nature of the Circus such architectural extravagance is accepted by the general public and it goes unnoticed.* [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Mad Magician's Beautiful Daughter]]: Celia to Hector* MagiciansAreWizards: Hector and Celia.* MagicallyBindingContract: At the end of the story, [[spoiler:Bailey is bound to the circus by Marco's ring.]]** Not to mention [[spoiler: Marco and Celia]] in The Challenge.* MakeAWish: At the Wishing Tree.* TheMatchmaker: Hector Bowen tells Mr. A. H- that he should have been this.* MeaningfulName: Tsukiko's name means [[spoiler: Moon Child. While her opponents name meant Sunflower or Facing the sun, depending on what kanji are used to write it. Considering Tsukiko stated her element was water, and Hinata's was fire...]]** Averted by Celia. Hector/Prospero wishes to give her a meaningful name (mainly [[Theatre/TheTempest Miranda]]) but she refuses to go by anything but Celia.* NarratorAllAlong: [[spoiler: Widget]]* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: In one night, Celia invites Alexander to the circus to decide a victor for the Challenge, Marco tells Isobel that he loves Celia, and Isobel removes the tempering spell she had placed on the circus. These things combined lead to the death of Herr Thiessen.]]* NoNameGiven: Mr. A.H- aka The Man in the Grey Suit, who makes it clear that he finds names to be unimportant. He is named Alexander but it's immediately revealed to be a false name. ** It's also stated that Isobel is not Isobel's real name and it's hinted that Marco might not be his real name either.* OlderThanTheyLook: TheAgeless characters.* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Poppet and Widget's real names are Penelope and Winston but this is only mentioned a couple of times.* OrderVersusChaos: The point of the challenge between Mr. A.H- and Hector. The challenge is set-up as a competition between A.H-'s style of HermeticMagic against Hector's style of [[StageMagician Stage Magic]].* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: Celia uses them as figures on the carousel.* PaperThinDisguise: Celia and the other circus performers can move about the circus, unrecognized, by donning colored clothes. It's justified for Celia since she specifically demonstrates the power to divert people's attention so that they don't notice her.* ParentalAbandonment: Celia is placed in Hector's custody after her mother commits suicide. Marco is living in an orphanage when we first meet him and doesn't seem to remember his parents; he deems Alexander the closest thing to family he has.* ParlorGames: If Bailey hadn't picked Dare in his game of Truth or Dare with his friends/sister, well... the consequences would be substantial.* PetTheDog: Though Mr. A. H- doesn't care one bit about wagering the lives of his students in a dangerous game, he does ask Hector to strongly consider whether he is really willing to risk his own child in such a game. He also pays Celia what is probably the first compliment she's ever had.* Really700YearsOld: Mr. A. H- and Hector are implied to be centuries if not thousands of years old, to the point where they're barely human. [[spoiler: Tsukiko meanwhile mentions her own game ended eighty-four years ago, meaning she herself is extremely old too.]]* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Herr Thiessen, whose death doubles as a potential {{Tearjerker}}]]* SceneryPorn: Pretty much every description of the circus. * ShipTease: A bit between Bailey and Poppet. * ShoutOut: Friedrick Thiessen's article about Le Cirque des Rêves is translated into English and published in London under the title "Literature/NightsAtTheCircus".** Hector's stage name and character is one for ''Theatre/TheTempest''. He even tries to rename Celia to Miranda to shout out even more but she refuses to go along with it.* SinkOrSwimMentor: Mr. A.H-.* StageMagician: Many of the main characters.* StarCrossedLovers: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that [[spoiler: Celia figures out a way for her and Marco to end the game and be together by duplicating the spell that caused her father to become insubstantial]].** [[spoiler:Tsukiko and her opponent]] count though.* TagalongKid: The Murray Twins* [[spoiler: TakeAThirdOption: Celia and Marco regarding The Challenge, though the author leaves it to us whether or not this will turn out for the better...]]* TarotTroubles: Some of the readings Isobel gives to Celia may qualify. * TeamMom: Tante Padva.* {{Telepathy}}: Generally all the magical characters have some bizarre perception of the world that is never fully explained, but it allows them to pick up on weird things like whether someone is using an alias. Widget's in particular is very accurate and powerful.* ThinkTwins: The Murray twins.* ThirteenIsUnlucky: But they celebrate the anniversary anyway.* ThreeAmigos: Bailey, Poppet, and Widget.* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer, book jacket, and promo material all advertise that Celia and Marco get together, making it a ForegoneConclusion that the latter will break up with Isobel. All this despite that Celia and Marco don't properly meet until halfway through the book.* TrainingFromHell: This is how Celia is taught to refine and control her magic.** Specifically, her father repeatedly [[AbusiveParents slashes her fingers open]] in order to force her to learn healing magic.** Not to mention he kills a bird right in front of her when she says she's uncomfortable trying to 'fix it'. Keep in mind Celia is maybe six years old when this happens.** Or when he breaks her wrist for annoying him with questions about The Challenge, uses it as an excuse to make her practice healing more, and then admonishes her for crying.* TheUnchosenOne: [[spoiler: Bailey]].* UncannyFamilyResemblance: The manager knows that Celia is meant for Prospero by the eyes, which are a perfect image.* UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn: The twins were born on the night the circus opened.* UnwittingPawn: Probably everyone.* AWizardDidIt: Many of the magical effects created by the two magicians are truly incredible, but the nuts and bolts workings of them are never explained or even really hinted at.** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in-universe. See FramingDevice above.* WeirdnessCensor: How illusionists such as Celia and Hector are able to pass their magic off as tricks.* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[spoiler:Hector Bowen.]] Mr. H-- also argues to Widget that someday [[spoiler:Celia and Marco might regret what they did.]]* WomanScorned: Isobel.* [[spoiler:YouCantFightFate: Averted, until Isobel decides to remove the "tempering" spell on the Circus]]----!!The game provides examples of:* AllThereInTheManual* EarlyBirdCameo: Many of the characters in the book were first publicized in the game.* GayOption* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: From the point of view of the player.

Former 'Last Comic Standing' winner plays Jr.'s Last Laugh
If John Heffron needs a theme song, Sly & the Family Stone's "Everyday People" would do nicely. Much better than, say, "Gangnam Style."
His comedy hones in on small, recognizable, relatable moments in everyday life that audiences nod along with when they're not on the floor, laughing. (You can't nod and laugh at the same time; it's impossible.) He talks about relationships, driving, getting nagged -- sometimes all at the same time.
"I decided to drive down with the wife, which was awesome because, ha-ha, how would I know what lane to be in while I was coming down here if she wasn't with me? How would I have known, ma'am? I wouldn't have known."
That's from 2009's "Middle Class Funny," a title that accurately sums up his appeal.
"I've always stayed in the pocket where people who see me go, 'Gosh, did you grow up in my house?' Or, 'You sound just like my husband,'" Heffron said. "I stay in that pocket of being really relatable. I get that a lot after a show. People say, 'You recorded my life.'
"That's the comedy I enjoy doing. I look at it that people are spending money to come and see me. I don't want to throw political opinions on anybody or make a statement or anything like that. There are other comics who do that really well."
Heffron's strength involves capturing the daily machinations of life and molding them into comedy bits. He's done it since his college days at Eastern Michigan University, where he'd skip night classes to do open-mikes. He's a native Midwesterner who never lost his Midwest appeal, despite moving to Los Angeles.
Heffron's break came via TV; he won NBC's "Last Comic Standing" in 2005. He competed that season with area favorite Tammy Pescatelli; they still stay in touch.
"It sounds cheesy, but it changed (my career) pretty much overnight," Heffron said about winning the competition. "I've now been traveling for seven years straight, starting from the day after. I was a headliner and did a lot of TV and stuff before 'Last Comic' but that was the thing that really threw me into that new hemisphere."
His humor is relatively clean; he grew up listening to Bill Cosby records. That suits his look. Even in his 40s, he has a boyish quality.
"As a comic, when I started out, I tried being edgier and it just didn't work for me," Heffron said. "Now I have wrinkles, I still can't pull it off. But that's one thing about doing stand-up for a while. You get older, you get this magical feeling of knowing you don't have to be everything to everybody. Not everybody has to like you."
But they do because he's so likable and down-to-earth, whether he's performing on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," a Comedy Central special, or his popular podcast with fellow comic Jon Reep (www.heffronandreep.com). He's also released several DVDs, including one -- "Good Kid, Bad Adult" -- that he filmed at Jr.'s Last Laugh, where he returns for the first time since June 2007.
"It's been a super long time. I don't know what happened," Heffron said. "I never actively said no. It's a great club."

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - The Los Angeles Lakers remained without a coach late Wednesday, but the hiring of Rudy Tomjanovich appeared imminent.
Tomjanovich would succeed Phil Jackson, who coached the Lakers to three NBA championships in five years. The team announced June 18, three days after losing to the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals, that Jackson wouldn't return next season.
General manager Mitch Kupchak didn't identify Tomjanovich, but all indications are he is the only viable candidate remaining after Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, North Carolina coach Roy Williams and Miami Heat president Pat Riley decided to remain in their current positions.

A motor vehicle is slowed down or stopped with the help of the 'Brake' device, which is a combination of interacting parts of the vehicle creating friction mechanism. At the time of normal driving conditions, a foot-operated brake is used for hindering, stopping and controlling the automotive vehicle. Air brakes in Glendale are used on heavy vehicles such as buses and trains, since those work by means of compressed air. However, emergency brakes are operated by the driver with his or her hand and the same is used in emergencies only. There are two types of wheel-brake mechanisms ; such as drum brakes and disk brakes. Drum brakes are used in older vehicles, and at the rear wheels of many vehicles, the front disk brakes are used.

HoopIdea wants to #StopTheFlop. To spotlight the biggest fakers, we present Flop of the Night. You can help us separate the pretenders from the defenders -- details below:
Chris Paul is the reigning MVP of TrueHoop's All Flop Team, so it's about time that he found his way onto Flop of the Night. Monday night's gem was vintage Paul: a breathtaking display of creativity and improvisation allowing the little guy to come out on top.
As his team struggled to find a spark, the diminutive point guard attempted to energize his teammates by driving his shoulder into Marc Gasol's kidney. In the process, he somehow convinced the officials that Paul himself had been the true victim.
So what happened here? We've broken down the footage, but the mysteries of Paul's wizardry go beyond our comprehension. Here are our best guesses at an explanation:
Paul is inexorably drawn to Marc Gasol's musk
Thought Gasol was all done pivoting
Tripped over one of Tony Allen's many, many exclamation points
Just wanted to see Marc Gasol's reaction. Totally worth it.
Dramatized contact because Mike Conley had cut past him and was coming open under the hoop
When you see an egregious flop that deserves proper recognition, send us a link to the video so we can consider it for Flop of the Night. Here's how to make your submission:
Alert HoopIdea to super flops with the Twitter hashtag #FlopOfTheNight (follow us on Twitter here).

Come hang out at the Studio 89 cafe! It's not your average cafe! To begin with, we're actually a Non-Profit Organization.
We try to be all sorts of awesome by providing fair trade, organic, bird-friendly and rain forest certified coffee, and by providing other ethical and yummy treats and products! (Check out Our Menu, we think you'll be impressed!)
The money you spend at Studio.89 goes towards the functioning of our community hub.
Studio.89 is a free space for community events that also offers free workshops and resources as well as empowerment and entrepreneurship opportunities. We host regular board game nights, documentary nights, book clubs, live music nights, networking events, fundraisers for a myriad of causes, support groups for sexual assault survivors and much more. Sometimes fun, sometimes educational, sometimes both, we have something for everyone to enjoy! See our Calendar for upcoming events.
See we're what is technically called a social enterprise. This is how it works. Our youth led non-profit organization YTGA has been empowering and mobilizing young people for social justice through campaigns, workshops and the arts since 2006. Through the cafe business we are able to run much more programming for many more young people! That's right, you spend money on good ethical and healthy stuff and it goes towards more good community stuff!
Once inside, you will note that Studio 89 is an entirely community-centric space. Most of our furnishings are donated by local businesses and community members like yourselves! We aim to provide you with a place to enjoy your ethical coffee while learning about interesting things happening locally and globally or maybe you just want to hang out.

The Artademic Resource Centre upstairs is a shoe-free zone and offers a wonderful community space for hanging out, studying, meetings or participating in one of the workshops hosted by us or our friends. What does Artademic even mean? Artademic or Artademia means to infuse various art forms and academic knowledge and learning for the purpose of education of course. Yes we made it up. The word, not the concept. See, the left and right hemispheres of the brain process information in different ways. Learners usually process information using the dominant brain hemisphere. However, the learning process is greatly enhanced when all of the senses are used. This includes using the less dominate hemisphere.
We'll try to engage both of your brain hemispheres. No promises it'll make you superhumansmart but we'll try. Check out our workshop schedule in the Calendar!
If you really want to be awesome you could engage in any of the following:
Artademic Mentorshop Program - peer to peer tutoring and skill building.

In only a matter of days time, 128 of the best tennis players in the world will descend upon Paris to compete in the most grueling test of character, ability and performance in tennis, the French Open.
All who will compete have each a chance to claim the title which would permanently place their name forever in the history books—only a few though, can feasibly win. And of these few, only a select are serious contenders—serious contenders with the world at their feet.
Over the two weeks that will be the French Open, they alone will have the power to seize defeat from the jaws of victory—such is their burden.
But cometh the hour, cometh the man—and these, are the likely men.

This Winter X Games staple has skiers performing tricks on a course packed with features like ramps, rails and other jibs—essentially a "skate park on snow," in the words of Sochi hopeful Tom Wallisch. Skiers are scored on the following criteria: the execution and style of their moves, the difficulty and risk of their program, variety, amplitude and progression.
X Games champ Nick Goepper, only 19, will be the one to watch in the men's event, having clinched his Olympic berth in just the second of five qualifying events. On the women's side, freeskier Devin Logan, 20, has a good shot at medaling in both ski slopestyle and ski halfpipe.

Bella Luce Medispa now offering Sugaring Hair Removal and Airbrush Tanning
Dr. Michael Lawton and Bella Luce Medispa announce they are now adding sugaring hair removal and airbrush tanning to their menu of spa and medical facials. To launch the new menu, Dr. Lawton announces some great specials on all of the new services.
Dr. Lawton is proud to now provide sugaring hair removal services at his medical spa in Huntington Beach. Sugaring is a safe, all-natural, mild and effective method of hair removal. It is similar to waxing but much gentler to the skin and more sanitary. Instead of wax, the esthetician uses a soft sugar paste is made from all natural ingredients, including real sugar and lemon juice, and it is free of any chemicals, additives or preservatives.
Unlike wax, the sugar paste is at or near body temperature, so there is no concern about heat sensitivity or burning the skin. After the sugar paste is applied to the desired area, it is then "flicked" off in the direction of the hair growth. This lessens the chance of irritation and breakage of the hair shaft and reduces the likelihood for ingrown hairs after treatment.

Restricted free agent Eric Gordon has a number of reasons to stay with the New Orleans Hornets—but the most important reason is the Hornets are allowed to retain Gordon by matching any offers he receives from other clubs.
One would think Gordon would also be persuaded by the opportunity to play with the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, a selection most presume will be used on Kentucky's Anthony Davis.
The Hornets also have the No. 10 pick in the draft, ensuring that the franchise will walk away with two premium prospects on draft day.
But according to Yahoo! Sports' Marc J. Spears, Gordon isn't shying away from the opportunity to kick the tires on teams looking to add a star shooting guard. If nothing else, the 23-year-old can leverage his suitors' interest into getting the best possible deal from the Hornets.
If Gordon is too expensive, perhaps New Orleans will balk at the asking price. The News-Herald's Bob Finnan speculates about one of the more compelling scenarios:
There was some talk about Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon getting a max offer this summer, possibly from Indiana. That might be far-fetched because he's had issues with his knees for two consecutive years. Don't rule out a possible sign-and-trade, however, with Gordon going to the Pacers and forward Danny Granger going to New Orleans. Both teams are under the cap this summer. In that scenario, the Pacers could move Paul George to small forward, which might be his natural position.
The Indiana Pacers and at least four other teams have the cap space and need for a guy like Gordon. Here is a look at the clubs most likely to be his principal suitors.

Bhutanese immigrants have formed cricket team in Erie
The crack of a bat broke the silence one afternoon last week at Roman Blaszczyk Field, a softball diamond on Erie's east side.
The hitter, 20-year-old Dipak Gurung, sprinted across the grass as fielders chased the ball into the outfield.
But this was not your usual ballgame.
Gurung and about a dozen others, most of them Bhutanese refugees who moved here from Nepal, had met to practice cricket, the most popular sport in their homeland.
"Here a lot of people weren't sure what we were doing when we started," Gurung said. "But everybody knows about cricket in Nepal."
A few minutes earlier, Gurung and his brother, Dhan, 21, had unloaded a box from their car containing new jerseys for their year-old cricket team, BCC-Erie Royal.
As other players arrived at the field one and two at a time, the Gurungs handed out the green-and-white jerseys, wrapped in clear plastic bags, and their teammates excitedly pulled them on.
The Gurungs, five cricket-playing brothers in all (a sixth doesn't play), helped form the team in 2013. The eldest of the five, Deo, 28, serves as coach. Last summer, BCC-Erie Royal capped its first season by winning a tournament in Pittsburgh, beating an opponent from Kentucky in the championship game.
Before the team was formed, players from Erie's growing Bhutanese community, most of them young men between the ages of 16 and 25, met for pickup games at fields like Roman Blaszczyk at 13th and Wayne streets or other public parks.
It was part of the process of keeping alive some of the traditions from their home about 7,700 miles away in their adopted city, said Dhan Gurung, whose family is among an estimated 3,500 Bhutanese living in Erie. Most were uprooted during ethnic cleansing in Bhutan during the 1990s. They found a temporary home in Nepal while awaiting resettlement overseas.
"When we first got here, we didn't really play for almost a year," said Gurung, who arrived in Erie with his parents and six brothers and sisters from Jhapa, Nepal, in 2009. "Then we would get maybe four or five people and we could play a little bit. And (gradually) other people found out and we could make a team."
Dhan and Dipak Gurung are students at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Other team members attend Erie high schools or graduated and are working or looking for jobs.
Bharat Timsina, 19, is a senior at Strong Vincent High School whose family relocated to the United States from Nepal three years ago. Few of his classmates are familiar with cricket, which originated in the British Isles more than 500 years ago. But Timsina's science teacher is British, so the two found a common interest in the game.
"The atmosphere is great while you're playing the game," Timsina said. "It's the most exciting sport I've ever seen."
Cricket is played professionally in Nepal, predominantly in the six-team Nepal Premier League. Countless school and club teams also play, and the sport received a boost in the Himalayan nation of 29 million people when Nepal's fledgling national team won this year's Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh.
Cricket's rules bear some resemblance to baseball, with games consisting of innings with outs and runs. But rather than rounding bases after hitting the ball with a paddle-like bat, players run back and forth between wooden wickets on a 22-yard-long pitch.
"It is, I would say, about 25 percent like baseball," said Dhan Gurung, who hopes to see the sport continue to grow in this area.
He estimates there are at least 50 players in Erie's Bhutanese community playing, though work prevents many from practicing regularly or competing in tournaments.
BCC-Erie Royal, which is predominantly made up of players from Bhutan and Nepal but had one player from Jamaica in 2013, plans to host a tournament here in 2015 and would like to enter two or three local teams. They are also hoping to eventually find a permanent home. They practice and play pickup matches on neighborhood softball and baseball diamonds but are forced to work around leagues and practices for those sports.
Dhan Gurung said he hopes to get permission to build a cricket pitch at a local park or green space where the team can practice every day.
Though they've embraced an American lifestyle in many ways, members of Erie's Nepali and Bhutanese communities say it's important for them to continue playing cricket.
"It's a good sport because it's different from any other sport," said Tshring Tamang, 19, a junior at East who arrived here two years ago. "I really like to play."

Getting started with Cloud Sites: Configuring SSL on your websites
Note: This article is written for our Cloud Sites Control Panel. You can get to it from the Cloud Control Panel by clicking Rackspace Cloud in the upper-left corner and selecting Cloud Sites. You can also navigate directly to https://manage.rackspacecloud.com/.
Previous section
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an encryption technology that protects your visitors' private information while it's in transit via the Internet.
When you ask your site's visitors to divulge personal and business information, they need to trust you. They have to know that their data is secure from eavesdropping, tampering, and even phishing attacks. And the more they trust you, the more likely they are to complete forms, purchase items, and share valuable information online. SSL certificates let them know that they can confidently share their data with you.
Some applications that are configured to run SSL are web browsers like Internet Explorer and FireFox; email programs like Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Apple Mail.app; and SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) programs. These programs are automatically able to receive SSL connections.
Adding SSL to a website on Cloud Sites is a straightforward process.This article provides the information for this process.
Supported types of SSL Certificates
The primary certificates supported on Cloud Sites are as follows:
- Root Level certificates
- Apache + OpenSSL
Cloud Sites allows installation of most chained certificates, including Extended Validation (EV), multi-domain, and wild card certificates. These will require installation to a primary Common Name domain to work properly. Sites hosted on the .NET/IIS platform may not allow wild card certificates to work due to the architecture.
Note: Cloud Sites no longer supports any self-signed certificates.
Generate a CSR for your site
Complete the following steps to generate a certificate signing request (CSR), which you will need to have when you purchase an SSL certificate.
Log in to the Cloud Sites Control Panel.
Click Hosting > Cloud Sites.
Click the domain you want to add SSL to, and then click the Security tab.
In the Permissions for Viewing Your Website section, click Install SSL Certificate.
Review the order summary and payment details, select the Terms Agreement check box, and the click Finish. If you have questions about the charges, contact Support.
On the Install SSL Certificate page, click the Start New Certificate button.
Complete the form and click the Next Step button when finished.
Your CSR is generated. With the CSR ready for use, you can proceed to purchasing a certificate.
Purchase a certificate
SSL certificates are available from a number of third party sources. Some recommended sellers are RapidSSL, Geotrust, and Verisign.
Follow the vendor's SSL certificate request process. In particular, the vendor might require the following details:
- Server type: Apache
- SSL type: OpenSSL or modSSL
- CSR: You generated this in the preceding section
After you have completed your certificate purchase, you're ready to install the certificate.
Special rules for EV and wild card certificates
To install an EV or wild card certificate with Cloud Sites, the certificate needs to be installed to an existing domain on the Cloud Sites account. This can be accomplished by doing the following when purchasing the certificate from the seller:
Create the certificate using the existing domain as the Common Name (CN).
Setup the EV domains or wild card domain as the Subject Alternative Name (SAN).
Install the certificate to the existing domain.
Point the domains specified in the SAN to use the SSL IP provided.
The following is an example of a correctly configured wild card certificate if the site hosting the certificate is ssl.example.com, an existing domain in your domain in your Cloud Sites account, and other subdomains of example.com are used for the wild card:
Common Name: ssl.example.com
Subject Alternative Names: *.example.com
Organization: Example.com
Organization Unit: IT
Locality: San Antonio
State: Texas
Country: US
Valid From: September 25, 2015
Valid To: September 26, 2017
Issuer: DigiCert SHA2 High Assurance Server CA, DigiCert Inc
Serial Number:
Install the certificate
- Log in to the Cloud Sites Control Panel.
- Click Hosting > Cloud Sites.
- Click the domain for which you generated the CSR for, and then click the Security tab.
- In the Permissions for Viewing Your Website section, click Enter Certificate File.
Enter the certificate information in the Certificate field.
Note: Some vendors provide certificates in text format in an email or on their website, which makes copy and pasting the certificate easy. Other vendors may provide certificates as a .crt file. You can open this file in a plain text editor and retrieve the text for the certificate there.
- If you have any SSL intermediate certificates, copy and paste them into the Intermediate Certificate field.
- Click Next Step.
- Confirm that the certificate details are correct and then click Finish.
Note: If you have any problems during the installation, contact Support for assistance.
DNS update
If Rackspace is managing your DNS, DNS for your site will be automatically updated. It can take up to two hours for the new IP addresses for your site to complete propagation. If you are managing your own DNS, click the Domain tab to get your new IP addresses.
What to watch for
Removing an SSL certificate from a site will change the site's IP address in the same way that adding a new certificate changes the IP address. DNS must be updated in that case as well.

A hard slammer from the Clarke-Boland Big Band – recorded when the band was burning up the road in Europe, taking great players and audiences in one fell swoop, coming up with some of the strongest straight jazz of their generation! The album features stunning solos all around by an all-star mix of American and European players that includes Benny Bailey, Johnny Griffin, Tony Coe, Dave Pike, Sahib Shihab, and Ronnie Scott – all coming together with incredibly fluidity, yet also breaking out for some massive solos on their own! Arrangements are by Boland – tight, right, and outta site – and titles include "Let's Face The Music & Dance", "High School Cadets", "By Strauss", "Gloria", "Sweet & Lovely", "Get Out Of Town", and "I'm All Smiles".

Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
