When you create a new folder in a SharePoint list or library, you provide a way to group and manage your content. You can add folders to most types of SharePoint libraries and lists. Here's an overview of how to create or delete a folder in lists and libraries.
Create and add a new folder to a list or library
By default, you use New Folder command to create a folder in lists or libraries. A list or library owner or a user with design permissions can determine whether the New Folder command is displayed by changing the advanced settings.
Navigate to the site containing the library or list where you want to add the folder.
Click the name of the list or library on the Quick Launch, or click Settings , and click Site contents, and then click the title of the list or library you want to add folders to.
Note: Designers can modify the appearance and navigation of a site significantly. If you cannot locate an option, such as a command, button, or link, contact your administrator.
In the Ribbon, click the Files tab, and then in the New group, click New Folder.
Note: If the New Folder command is not available, you can turn it back on with the proper permissions. On the Library or List tab of the ribbon, click Library Settings or List Settings, and then click Advanced settings. In the Folder section, make sure that the Yes option is selected for Make "New Folder" command available.
In the New Folder dialog box, type a folder name in the Name box, and then click Save. You can optionally invite people to share the folder.
See Manage permissions for a list, library, folder, document, or list item for more info.
Click Create when you're done.
To change the folder name later on, click the ellipses ... , click the ellipses ... in the dialog box, and then click Rename. Change the folder name in the Name box.
To quickly go to the next level up in the folder hierarchy, in the Ribbon, click the Library tab and then click Navigate Up.
Delete a folder in a library or list
Important: When you delete a folder, it deletes the folder and any files or subfolders in it. Be careful when you delete a folder. Consider moving or archiving the contents of the folder before deleting it. Depending on how your site was configured, you or your administrator might be able to recover the folder and its contents from the Recycle Bin.
Navigate to the site containing the library or list for which you want to delete the folder.
Click the name of the library or list on the Quick Launch, or click Settings , and then click Site contents, and then look for and click the name of the library or list.
Note: Designers can modify the appearance or navigation of a site significantly. If you cannot locate an option, such as a command, button, or link, contact your administrator.
Click the ellipses (...) on the row you want to delete, and click Delete or Delete Item. If you don't see Delete, or Delete Item, click the ellipses (...) on the dialog, and then click Delete.
In the confirmation dialog, click Ok or Delete.
What happens if I delete a folder by accident?
If you realize you deleted a folder, you can recover it by using the Recycle Bin.

Tips for organizing items into folders for ease of use
If a library or list contains many items that can be grouped in a particular way, you can use folders to organize content within the library or list. Good examples of groups include projects, teams, departments, product categories, age ranges, alphabetical listings, and alphabetical subgroups (A-C, D-F, and so on). Folders can help people to scan and manage files and items in a familiar way.
A library or list with folders enabled typically displays folders in the default view of the library or list without any filters. This helps users choose the appropriate folder when they insert new items. Displaying all the folders also makes it less likely that items will be incorrectly added outside the folders in the library or list. You can easily reorganize documents into different library folders by using the Open with Windows Explorer command available on the library ribbon. Although you can reorganize items into different library folders by using the standard Windows Explorer folder, there is no automatic way for users to move items between folders in a list.
Although library or list folders do not display in the Documents section of Quick Launch, the site owner or a user with permission to design a site can enable the Tree View, which displays the Site Content section in Quick Launch, and lets you expand, collapse, and easily navigate folders of libraries and lists.
You might also consider using views as well as folders. Views enable content to be filtered, grouped, and sorted in multiple ways. You can "flatten" a library or list view by setting the Show all items without folders option in the Folders section when you create or modify a view in a library or list.
For a comprehensive look at libraries, see Introduction to libraries.
Getting more efficient access to items
If your library or list contains many items, folders also improve the efficiency of accessing those items. When you create a folder, behind the scenes you are creating an internal index. This internal index is also created for the root folder, or top-level of a library or list. When you access items in a folder, you are effectively using this internal index to access the data.
Even when the total number of items in a library or list is very large, a view of a single folder is at least as fast as a view that filters the total number of items by using an indexed column. In some scenarios, it may be possible to distribute all of the items in a library or list into multiple folders so that no one folder has more than 5,000 items. This is the default List View Threshold as set by your site administrator.
It is important to consider the following when you use folders to organize a large library or list:
A folder can contain more than 5,000 items, but to avoid being blocked, you may still need to use a filtered view based on column indexes. If a folder contains subfolders, each subfolder name is counted as an item, but not any items in that subfolder.
If you choose the Show all items without folders option in the Folders section when you create or modify a view in this library or list, you must then use a filter that is based on a simple or compound index to be sure you're not over the List View Threshold (typically 5000 items in a view).
Copy or move files between folders
See Upload files to a library for more information.

No one was injured in an early Sunday drive-by shooting and three arrests were made.
Amarillo police officers saw the suspect's vehicle as they arrived at the 1600 block of North Houston Street, according to an Amarillo Police Department news release.
The vehicle's driver sped away when officers tried to stop the car. Police pursued the car until it was abandoned in an alley in the 2000 block of Poplar Street, the release said.
A man and woman in the vehicle were taken into custody but the driver fled on foot. The driver was captured shortly after while hiding in a residence.
All the vehicle occupants were booked into Potter County Detention Center on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the release said. The incident was reported at 4 a.m.

someone please help explain this one for me
Assuming you are still interested after all this time....
After Qxc4 there is a fork at Ne2+ and you get the white Q.
Poxbox of course means Qxc3, not Qxc4, in case that confused you even MORE.
that assumes the queen is stupid and takes the rook instead of the knight on d4???
Rxc3? Dxe4
nice sharing
good problem. kind of thing that occurs more often in practise than you might think especially at the lower levels.
It's an OK problem but I think it shouldn't stop after ...Rxc3. It would improve things if black was forced to demonstrate that he understands that he doesn't expect white simply to fall for Qxc3.
WHite can simply backlash and take black's knight. Please Explain...
Thanks, JSTORMZ. We didn't, but I'm sure people were waiting to hear your opinion.
To those suggesting the puzzle be extended, while Qxd4 doesn't give a 'single, clearly superior line', Qxc3 does. The problem is currently rated 1374 (I knocked it down another 13 points), which is low enought IMHO to have the computer response be a blunder.
Yes, Rxc3 Qxd4, but any other line is losing a knight or worse.
5 Seconds. Some forks are just too obious :)
The central problem, which nobody seems to have addressed, is what if White's reply is Qxd4. In the source game, this is in fact what happens, and there is nothing immediately decisive, although black piles up on the open c file....While I got this one right, looking for the fork, perhaps it should be removed?
Tell me why it should be kept?
I agree with InspiredSquare, i do not understand what's going to happen with Qxd4.
This problem should be kept, but it should be tagged as a Defense problem. When white plays b3, threatening the rook, how should black respond? If black retreats along the c file, the knight is lost outright. If black retreats sideways to b4, white responds with a3! and the black rook is really most sincerely trapped. So, black plays Rxc3, knowing that his rook is protected by the threat of a knight fork, and this is an exchange of knights instead of losing a piece outright. As black is already ahead in material, further exchanges should translate into a winning endgame.
The Qxd4 line is in the Analysis: ({12:-5.31} 15. ... Rxc3 16. Qxd4 Qc7 17. Rd2 Rc8 18. Kd1 Rxc2 19. Ke2 f5 20. exf5 Re8+ 21. Kf2 Rxd2+ 22. Qxd2 Bxf5 $19)
I'll take that as a constructive addition to the conversation, homernh, that the puzzle should be tagged as defensive, makes sense tactically. And it doesn't assume the fork will happen, as it shouldn't.
Helped me to refresh an old TT rule: count the material! Black is already a piece up, and White's first move only leads to simplifications and opening lines that favour White. So I suggested to add a "simplification" tag (rather than defense, because Black is clearly active and attacking here).
In fact this pizzle is a good one. This is not only the best move, because you get this knight but also if the queen takes it back you can do a fork with your knight on e2.

What is Google Chrome?
Posted on September 3rd, 2008 in 10x, Advice, Links, News, RSS, Simple | 1 Comment »
This is a blog posting about Google Chrome. To be very specific, I'm going to post every single blog entry, article, press release and link that I can find about Google's Chrome web browser. I doubt that I can find everything but I'm going to try!
I'm mostly interested in how people are going to use Google Chrome as part of their online marketing. And, on a related topic, how good is the user experience (UX) of Chrome? Should we act now or wait until version 2 or even version 3? Let's find out what people are saying about Chrome…
Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows — "Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier."
The story behind Google Chrome (YouTube) — "Watch a video from the development team on the thinking and features behind Google Chrome."
Google Chrome Explained — Comic book explanation of Google Chrome (by Scott McCloud); highly recommended
A fresh take on the browser — "Since we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if you started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build." (related)
Google: Chrome Browser Will Make Money — "Google's goals for its new Chrome Web browser are simple: Make the Web experience faster and, by extension, make more money for Google."
Google's New Chrome Browser Is Great — "I've got to say that I'm pretty impressed. I've been a dedicated Firefox user for years now, but Chrome has a few advantages over FF that I think a lot of people are going to appreciate."
Google Chrome: Should You Convert? — "The speed and performance of Chrome are powerful draws and make me want to move in right now. Firefox, even in its third release, doesn't often perform to my expectations, and it drives me crazy while I'm trying to work. At the same time, though, I'm not ready to give up my add-on power. I'll keep Chrome on my system and will experiment with it over time, but for now, I'm holding out on a full switch until a more complete release — complete with the add-ons I need, too — is ready."
Google 2.0 (WebWord, 2001) — "People using Microsoft's Internet Explorer are now being redirected to Microsoft's MSN when they make certain kinds of mistakes. This means that Microsoft is taking control of another part of the user experience. This article discusses how Google might be able to help users and solve a few other problems others along the way."
Speed test: Google Chrome beats Firefox, IE, Safari — "Google introduced Chrome in part because it wants faster browsing and the richer Web applications that speed will unlock. So how does Chrome actually stack up?"
Google Chrome — "Google Chrome is an open source web browser developed by Google. It builds on components from other open source software, including WebKit and Mozilla. The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or "chrome", of web browsers. The open source project behind Google Chrome is known as Chromium."
Get Ready for Google Chrome: New Open-Source Web Browser (Matt Cutts) — "I can't wait to talk more about Google Chrome, but I'll hold off until it officially launches. Once people can download Google Chrome, I plan to talk about my experiences using Google Chrome, to lay some truth on you about questions you might ask about Google Chrome, and to give some tips for power browsers."
Google Chrome, Google Browser (Kottke)
Google's Chrome Browser Challenges Microsoft's IE8 — "Google said it is launching Chrome because the company believes it can add value for users and help drive innovation on the Web. Sundar Pichai, Google's vice president of product management, and Linus Upson, Google's engineering director, said the concept for Chrome stems from a discussion about what kind of browser could exist if they started from scratch and built on the best elements available."
Why Google Chrome Really Matters — "Their success, like most success stories, is wedded to a fortuitous series of events: the price of computers and internet access dropping like a stone and the democratization of page creation and monetization. That's a mouthful, for sure. Cheaper computers and easier, faster access made computing and creating pages within the grasp of more people."
10 Thoughts on Google Chrome — "This is very OS-like – even down to imitating the Windows operating system Task Manager."
How Google's Simple Chrome Could Steer Web's Complex Future: Analysis (Popular Mechanics) — "As the search giant pours open-source gasoline on the flames of a browser "war" and the next steps for cloud computing, is Google's new software the sign of a digital transformation, or just smarter window on the Web?"
Obviously there are many more stories. I'll continue to add more links and references here as time goes on, or I'll post new blog entries for you on IMsimple.com (here's our RSS feed).

Theresa Laswell charged with pimping child while "bottom bitch" for brother Christian
Big pics below.
When it comes to pimping, the Denver District Attorney's Office believes Theresa and Christian Laswell kept it in the family. Last month, Christian was charged with child prostitution and more in regard to allegedly whoring out a seventeen-year-old. Now, Theresa, his sister and supposed "bottom bitch," is faced with pretty much the same thing.
Last August, according to an arrest affidavit on view below, Theresa was busted for working as an escort without a license on Mile High Stadium Circle -- a game location if ever there was one. At the time, she insisted that she didn't actually engage in acts of prostitution, just pricey sessions ($200 for thirty minutes, $250 for an hour) during which she stripped while johns masturbated. She added that "Ronnie," the man who ran her service, advertised on Craigslist and Denver.backpage.com.
The latter site, owned by Village Voice Media, Westword's parent company, has a policy not to accept ads connected to illegal activity. But according to Alexandria Theis and Eric King, who were busted in March for prostitution and acting as an escort runner without a license, respectively, the Laswells violated this rule. Theis and King said they worked for the Laswells, with Eric describing Christian as the chief pimp and Theresa as "bottom bitch," meaning she was atop the crew's prosty ladder. They also mentioned another young woman as being part of their stable.
Days later, cops were staking out Christian's place when they saw what appeared to be a teenage girl enter the home. Shortly thereafter, she was ID'd as a seventeen-year-old with two warrants for her arrest. That led to an "interview," in PD parlance, during which the girl said she'd been working for the Laswells for three weeks or so, during which time she'd turned thirty tricks, half of which involved happy endings.

The pricing structure? She corroborated the $200 per thirty minutes/$250 an hour fee, with $500 for a two-girl show, plus oral sex or the old in/out if the john offered a "tip." Afterward, she received 30 percent of what she brought in, which she estimated at $6,000. On her best day, she collected $2,000. She also said she banged Christian three times, but insisted that it was consensual.
At her age, that's mighty debatable.
Christian's been charged with pandering of a child-menacing, pimping of a child, procurement of a child, child prostitution-soliciting and trafficking in children, while Theresa's counts include pandering of a child-arranging prostitution and pimping of a child. They're both due in court tomorrow for formal advisement. Look below to see full-size mug shots of the Laswell in addition to the complete arrest affidavit.

Fat relative: "You're still nursing?!"
Me: (with significant glance at fat relative's midsection) "Yes, it's cheaper than Weight Watchers!"
I only said this once to MIL, her eyes about popped out of her head.
Yes we're still nursing. Logan's favorite nursing position is standing up when I'm laying on the couch watching TV.
(hee hee he doesn't nurse like this......... too often)
And to my friends that I can get away with saying this.....
Yes we're still nursing. It feels as good as after you have sex.
I guess I'm lucky though. My whole family on both sides have several women who have breastfed toddlers. It's always enough people that at family gatherings I get more positive comments than negative. It's just MIL that shoots the zingers to me about it. Stupid $#%^&%^. (lol).
I admit, I am not confident NIP with Noah all the time. I think it is because I know he is old enough to wait and can eat/drink other things.
"why do you ask?" or "why do you want to know?"
turns it back on them and sometimes makes them think.
lately ive just been saying " well yah why woudlnt I be?" dd is only 10 months.
Usually its "WHAT YOUR NOT FEEDING HER SOLIDS YET"
I havent come up with a good one yet to say back.. I dont plan on giving DD real solid MEALS untl she's ayear old.
I get this, and my lo is only 22 weeks! Ha ha, man are they going to get a big shock! :lol

Filling the Gaps
The world has a governance problem. We need more of it—at a time when we have less of it. Globalization has created gaps between the problems we face and our ability to respond. The problems move quickly, but our institutions do not. Problems like the meltdown of the global financial system and global climate change cross borders and require urgent and coordinated action across countries. But governance stops at the borders of our primary institutions, sovereign states.
New forms of governance are emerging to fill the gaps, especially in the private sector, sometimes in public-private partnerships, sometimes alone. Civil society combines in transnational networks to change corporate and government behavior on issues from debt relief to land mines. Nongovernmental organizations and private companies provide services previously deemed the purview of states—from building roads to providing security. Civil society and companies develop and hold businesses accountable to corporate social responsibility codes. A private regulatory body governs the Internet, to the extent that anyone does that.
The public sector also attempts to increase capacity and collaboration across borders. We create new international institutions (the World Trade Organization) and adapt old ones (NATO and the United Nations). Religious actors are part of the mix as well.
But all these efforts are still not enough. People are dying, but states cannot save them. The United States and other strong states cannot solve these problems alone; their institutions are not wired for it. Nearly a third of the people on earth live in the weakest states in the system, as described in detail in The Failed State Index [4], a new report by the Fund for Peace. Their citizens are the most vulnerable, yet these states are the least able to respond to the challenges of globalization and some deny their people the ability to participate in or hold their governments accountable for the activities undertaken in their name. The worst of these states are predatory, deliberately killing the very citizens they are supposed to protect.
Sovereignty—the ideas that governance aligns with territory and that those outside the geographic boundaries have no authority to meddle in internal affairs—is problematic for most of the people on the planet. But most leaders and scholars ignore the problem of sovereignty in world politics, focusing on government action even as states are less able to resolve global problems alone.
I am not a neutral observer of these issues. I had recently finished the fourth edition of my book on globalization, Beyond Sovereignty: Issues for a Global Agenda [5], when Pope Benedict XVI released his encyclical Caritas in Veritate [6]. The pope reveals himself to be an institutional pragmatist. When the challenges are as urgent as they now are, we have to use all available tools and work through, reform, strengthen, expand and improve many institutions. States, existing and new international institutions, civil society partnerships, more ethically oriented businesses, churches and individuals—all have a role, and no one is off the hook.
Media controversy focused on No. 67, "the urgent need of a true world political authority…universally recognized and vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights."
Few noted No. 41, which urges us "to promote a dispersed political authority, effective on different levels," and No. 57, which notes that "the governance of globalization must be marked by subsidiarity, articulated into several layers and involving different levels that can work together. Globalization certainly requires authority, insofar as it poses the problem of a global common good that needs to be pursued. This authority, however, must be organized in a subsidiary and stratified way." Pope Benedict calls for effective international institutions, as did his predecessors, but he also calls for updating and making all our institutions more ethical and effective.
The pope calls for neither one world government nor untrammeled sovereign autonomy, but for effective global governance. Institutional pluralism carries costs, including overlapping jurisdictions and coordination difficulties. But these institutions already exist, and so can be more quickly reformed to serve better the needs of the world's most vulnerable.

Below are the highest yielding money market account rates serving citizens of the state of Virginia. Like all bank rates, the offers below are time-sensitive in nature, so please refer to the date of this article for accuracy.
If you are strictly after the best rate then you have a variety of options that will provide you with similar yields. The question you need to ask yourself is, "what type of minimum balance can I keep?" Most money market accounts provide a given interest rate based on a certain account balance. The more money you are able to keep in these accounts, the higher the interest rate you will generally receive.
If you browse through our archive of money market account rates, you will see MMA's are yielding a lot less than they were this time last year. In fact, the national average for money market rates sits at roughly 1.20% APY currently – this number was well above 3.0% APY during the summer of 2008.
Below I have listed the top 2 banks and/or credit unions serving the state of Virginia which are offering the best returns on their money market accounts. Keep in mind, you may receive higher rates from larger national banks whom serve the whole country rather than a specific region. Compare money market accounts nationwide to find the optimal account for you.
Top 2 money market rates in Virginia:
(click on the institution for more information)
- United Central Bank: Springfield, VA. "Global money market account" yielding up to 3.0% APY depending on your balance amount. The breakdown is as follows, $5,000 – $74,999 yields 1.95% APY, $75,000 – $299,999 yields 2.15% APY, $300,000 – $499,999 yields 2.25%, $500k – $999k yields 2.40% APY and anything over $1 million yields 3.0% APY. A minimum balance of $5,000 is required to open this account and it come with a $10 monthly fee which will, needless to say, cut into your interest rate earnings. The average interest rate for money market accounts throughout the country is around 1.20% APY. United Central Bank serves many states throughout the country.
- Community Bank: Virginia Beach, VA. Money market account yielding 1.75% APY with a minimum balance of $10,000. Community Bank was established roughly 80 years ago and began as a small neighborhood bank and still remain relatively small. They have 11 locations throughout Virginia. These locations reside in Staunton, Waynesboro, Stuarts Draft, Lexington, Raphine, Verona, Harrisonburg, Buena Vista and Virginia Beach.
Both of the above institutions are federally insured by the FDIC. If you know of a better money market rate offered through your local bank or credit union, please share by leaving a comment.

Well, the Italian press is reporting this week that a prison snitch claims Guede admitted neither Knox nor her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito had anything to do with the murder.
Not so says, Guede, firing off a letter to CBS' 48 Hours | Mystery.
Rudy Guede denies reports that he cleared Amanda Knox of murder in conversations with a fellow inmate.
Last week, Mario Alessi, a convicted murderer who was held in the same ward of the Viterbo prison as Rudy Guede, claimed that Guede admitted to him that American Amanda Knox and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito had nothing to do with the murder of Knox's roommate Meredith Kercher, for which Guede, Knox, and Sollecito have been convicted - Guede was tried separately.
Guede denies clearing Knox and her boyfriend, calling Alessi's statements "the pure invention of a wicked mind," and asserts that Kercher's murder was committed by Knox and Sollecito.

It used to be that only law enforcement officials had the power to issue seat belt citations.
But in northern Idaho, kids recently joined the ranks of enforcers as part of the Junior Seat Belt Officer Program in Coeur d'Alene.
The program provided a creative opportunity for kids to help increase awareness about seat belt use. Along with an officer identification card, kids received mock citation books, allowing them to write "citations" to friends and family members for not wearing seat belts.
"The citations are simply a reminder for people to wear their seat belts," said Officer Nick Knoll of the Coeur d'Alene Police Department. "The kids are encouraged to discuss an appropriate fine amount – 25 cents, for example – for anyone caught not wearing a seat belt."
Officers from the Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls police departments and the Idaho State Police launched the program in November by visiting third-graders and talking with students about the importance of wearing seat belts. Participating elementary schools included Borah and Ramsey schools in Coeur d'Alene; and Mullan Trail, Ponderosa, Prairie View and Seltice schools in Post Falls.
For those who signed up as Junior Seat Belt Officers, a signed oath agreeing to always buckle up was one of the main requirements, along with agreement from the student's family to participate.
The children were encouraged to save fines collected and then spend the money on a family activity. A log at the back of the ticket book allowed students to track of how many citations were issued.
The program concluded before the December holiday school break. Three students who issued the most tickets were treated to dinner at the Hot Rod Café in Post Falls.
The café donated hats and a free dinner for each student. AAA of the Inland Northwest contributed $300 to the cost of the dinner and awarded rolling backpacks, luggage tags and pens to each winner.

text: It's around 65km from Vila Real to MIRANDELA, a neat provincial town on the Tua River that's been making an improbable name for itself in recent years as one of the world's jet-ski hotspots, hosting national and European championships. Otherwise, the town's most striking feature is its pedestrianized Roman bridge, stretching a good 200m across seventeen arches. There are pleasant riverside gardens and lawns, and – up the hill – a (very) small old town with a few surviving Baroque townhouses. There's also a proper, old-fashioned market building (walk up pedestrianized Rua da República; the market's best on Thursdays), while grocery stores and delis throughout town sell Mirandela's famed olive oil and olives (much of it biológico, or organically produced). The town is also known for its alheira sausages, draped across shop windows and served in every restaurant.

Ed Westwick took some tabloid ribbing earlier this week for being inseparable from his Gossip Girl cast mate and roomie Chace Crawford. The innuendo, of course, was that the boys are more than just friends.
You know what that means – it's time for a straight sex tip:
Apparently, Ed Westwick can stand to be separated from close friend/roommate Chace Crawford… [He] was "seriously making out with some random chick" at Lit bar Wednesday night, says a spy. "When the two left together, Ed was leading her by the hand. He was moving quick, but he had time to wink at a hot brunette before slipping out."
Two for the price of one? Well played, "spy!"
The Lady doth protest too much, me thinks?Aug 1, 2008 at 9:20 am · @Reply ·
I cant believe the tabloids still run these "seen making out at X bar" items. Theyre so clumsy and obviously placed by publicists. I mean if this was 1956 i could see the public buying it, but arent we too media-savvy (and saturated) to believe all this canoodling crap?
Im not saying Westwick is gay, but Lit is a dark, cavernous club. there's no way anyone would know if you "winked" at someone on your way out.
PS: I would love if someone did a study of these items and tracked how many times the same phrases appeared. Like "seriously making out with an unknown chick."
And we care why?
This goes to show that these days it's become more acceptable not totally but it can be "hot" when two lesbians are dating. The majority of celebrity gay couples stay closeted because of the nagging "ick" factor. Especially if they want to become A list stars. So many people can't deal with two guys screwing in their heads. Get over already people. Straight couples backdoor it too.
Ok, Publicists, we ALL know that these "Making out in public" events ONLY occure when either
1. your clients relationship is on the rocks and you want to pretend it isn't like when Justin and Cameron were seeing "Making out for 3 hours at some club" 1 week before they finally broke up
2. your client is gay and needs people to see them with somebody of the opposit sex.
Your "Making out in public" stories are as bogus as claiming your clients went into the hospital for "Exaustion" so please give it a rest.
Yeah, because you are kissing a girl, leave with her holding your hand and you wink at another girl makes you straight. We all know that.
One word, Ed: Beard.

WINDSOR — Robin Hamilton knows her community well and felt it needed a boost in holiday cheer.
Hamilton, the manager of the Windsor General Store located in the Shell gas station off Charleston Highway, got her staff together, along with other residents, to make sure children in her small town have a joyous Christmas. As of Friday, the store managed to supply gifts to 111 children in the area.
Close to 50 percent of those residing in her surrounding community live in poverty, Hamilton said. She said she wanted to make a difference so she gathered letters from children to see what they'd like for Christmas.
The endeavor has been an emotional one for Hamilton and her volunteers. Some of the letters were heartbreaking, Hamilton said. One child asked for groceries and another 6-year-old girl asked for her mother back because she missed her.
She added that some of the parents who have come in to pick up the gifts have left in tears, ecstatic they have something to put under their Christmas tree for their children.
Thanks to donations from the community to fulfill these children's wishes, a lot of local families will have a merrier Christmas, Hamilton said
"You think that you live in such an evil world, but this has changed my mind on how giving people can be," Hamilton said. "I think that it's a true blessing from God that it turned out this well."
The store will also open up a trailer filled with clothes that were donated so residents can pick up what they need for free. The little makeshift thrift store will be open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Hamilton said.
Hamilton thanked her staff, store owner Billy Howard, the community and volunteer Destiny Troutt who picked up donations from all around the county.
Hamilton said she hopes to make this an annual tradition.
Amy Banton is the County reporter for the Aiken Standard and has been with the publication since May 2010. She is a native of Rustburg, Va. and a graduate of Randolph-Macon Woman's College.

MENDHAM TOWNSHIP — A 60-year-old Morristown man died Saturday, days after he was injured in a bicycle crash on West Main Street in Mendham Township, police said.
Richard Klapman was taken to Morristown Medical Center on Aug. 18 for life-threatening injuries he suffered when his bicycle crashed in the area of West Main Street and Brookside at about 10:38 a.m., police said in a news release.
An interview of witnesses on the scene and a subsequent investigation by police determined that Klapman was riding down the hill and lost control when he swerved to avoid a water valve access point in the roadway, police said.
Despite wearing a helmet, Klapman suffered serious traumatic injuries when he struck his head after losing control of his bike, police said.
Funeral services for Klapman were held on Tuesday at Temple B'nai Or in Morristown, with interment to follow at Beth Israel Cemetery in Cedar Knolls, according to his obituary.
Klapman was a member of the B'nai Or Men's Club and the Morris Area Freewheelers Bicycle Club, and he was the treasurer of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, according to his obituary. He was a father and a grandfather, it said.
Klapman was a resident of Morristown for the past 10 years, and was a data network director and employed by AT&T for 40 years before retiring this past January, according to the obituary.
Jim Hunt, president of the Morris Area Freewheelers Bicycle Club, told NJ.com club members were holding a moment of silence on future rides in memory of Klapman.
"We continue to be heartbroken for the family and the loss they suffered," Hunt said.
Rabbi Donald Rossoff of Temple B'Nai Or said Klapman was a constant presence in the community.
"His passing is just a total shock," Rossoff said. "We're still trying to come to terms with this."
Hunt told MorristownGreen.com that the crash occurred about 10 miles into a moderately paced 30-mile ride that Klapman was leading from Loantaka Brook Reservation in Morris Township.
Hunt, who was not on that ride but spoke with cyclists afterward, told the website that no other bicycles or vehicles were involved in the crash, and that Klapman was near the bottom of a hill somewhere in the middle of a half-dozen riders.
Klapman sustained a concussion after he fell sideways and landed on his face, Hunt told the website.

On March 31, the aunt reported to deputies that she had instructed the girl to drive her vehicle from a Silverdale restaurant, where they had dinner, to a friends house. The aunt stayed late to have a few drinks at the bar.
The aunt was concerned because the girl never made it to the friends house and hadnt heard from her since.

A few months ago I noticed I had a ton of left-over pureed sweet potato in the deep freezer downstairs. I thought perhaps I could make soup with it; but then I came across a Sweet Potato Hummus recipe. I used some of the left-overs for that and it was wonderful! Oliver loved it. I loved it! So, regardless of age, this is a good one! Here are the steps I took:
Here's what I had on hand:
Then I added all ingredients to the naughty Cuisinart food processor:
Then pureed it all. I add more olive oil at this point if I have to. And here's where I deviated from the recipe and decided I needed more liquid. Out came the carrot juice!
After, we had a great supply of hummus. Enough to serve to Oliver for the rest of the week, and 4 more cups to freeze for a later date.
And here's the recipe to which I had to add carrot juice to in order to make it work. Feel free to be creative as well. This week I'm going to try this recipe again and add carrot puree to it! I wonder how that will taste!?
Sweet Potato Hummus
2 sweet potatoes pureed
2 cans of chickpeas (drained. However, I often make mine from scratch)
4 heaped tsps tahina
1/2 to 1 full lemon (or lime!) squeezed
1 clove garlic (you can adjust the amount. I tend to use 1 clove b/c I don't like to smell Oliver's garlic breath!)
1-2 T olive oil
1 cup carrot juice (not pictured above as it was a last minute addition to the recipe!)
Sweet Potato Hummus
2 sweet potatoes pureed
2 cans of chickpeas (drained. However, I often make mine from scratch)
4 heaped tsps tahina
1/2 to 1 full lemon (or lime!) squeezed
1 clove garlic (you can adjust the amount. I tend to use 1 clove b/c I don't like to smell Oliver's garlic breath!)
1-2 T olive oil
1 cup carrot juice (not pictured above as it was a last minute addition to the recipe!)
- Peel and chop sweet potato into cubes, boil for about 5-7 minutes until soft. Drain and cool. THEN place in food processor. Do not add hot foods to the current food processors out there. There are none that are BPA-free that I know of.*
- Add all other ingredients except for the juice
- Blend until pureed
- If the mix seems too thick, add some juice. I added carrot juice that I happened to have in the fridge. I'm sure you can add any other liquid you deem appropriate.
- In addition, feel free to spice it up with cayenne or other seasonings while in the food processor. I keep mine relatively plain because I really like the mild flavor of the chickpeas and sweet potatoes.
* I contacted Cuisinart a while back. They took a long time to get back to me. They said their containers were not BPA-free and that they did not have replacement parts for them that were. I was sick to my stomach when I found this out. So far, there are only TWO food processor type machines out there. The Baby Beaba, made in France, which only recently came out with a BPA-free version of their product, and the Vitamix which is now BPA-free. But you have to spend almost $200 for the Baby Beaba and $400 for the Vitamix (which is a high powered blender). You will outgrow your Baby Beaba within six months. Once your baby can chew with his / her gums, the food does not need to be so finely pureed. And the container for the Beaba is small, limiting what you can make with it. The Vitamix is definitely worth the money, but with all the baby expenses out there, this seems like an unlikely option for many. What I do today is cool all my food before I reluctantly use the Cuisinart. As well, I try to make as many things as possible in our blender, the container made of glass. It doesn't puree as finely as I'd like, but I can use the blender to make soups and stews. If anyone hears of other options, please leave me a comment. I'd love for Cuisinart to come out with a BPA-free version of my 9 cup processor!
I just found out that Cuisinart of Canada sells BPA-free food processors along with replacement parts! I found a list of places that will sell me the replacement bowl for my machine. I will update again as I find out more. I will also write Cuisinart in the US to let them know that they SHOULD HAVE LET ME KNOW THIS WAS AN OPTION! (Yes, I'm angry.)
Interestingly enough, I spoke (via email) with an ex-employee of Cuisinart Canada and she told me (and I quote): As I recall the US was not getting as much feedback as the Canadian office was on the importance of BPA free. Thereby implying that since no one in the US was making complaints or issues of this matter, they did not feel the need to be socially responsible and proactive! Why on earth am I still even considering using Cuisinart? This is making me really angry the more I think about it!

WARREN TWP. -- Fired in April, long-time branch library circulation director Larry Sapienza can return to the Somerset County Library system on August 1.
The Library Commission deliberated in private for more than two hours on June 6, before returning to public voting 4-2 to rescind his termination and instead, suspend Sapienza without pay from April 10 to July 31.
Commissioners George Jarvis, Robert Waldstein, Anita Ventantonio and Mary Caruso, who participated by phone, voted yes. Commission Chairman Art Carlson and Commissioner Al Ellis voted no.
A standing-room only crowd of about 100 people attended the 7:30 p.m. meeting in support of the 20-year-plus veteran of the county library system.
Many had spoken in support of Sapienza prior to the commission going behind closed doors to discuss the matter. Most of the crowd was still on hand for the commission vote, nearly four hours after the meeting began.
An online petition supporting Sapienza that received 17,001 signatures was given to the Commission during the meeting.
Sapienza was fired by library Director Brian Auger on April 12, over a controversial plan to restrict library volunteers' duties to menial tasks that would not give them access to patron's personal information.
Sapienza has said that his supervisor had told him to inform the volunteers that they would no longer be checking books in or out, sending out notices, filing hold requests or other jobs that could compromise patrons' privacy. But in Auger's letter terminating Sapienza, the library director blames him for volunteers' negative response to the changes — and blames him for not warning library administration that the negative response was growing.
Auger wrote that Sapienza had improperly used his supervisor's name to communicate the changes to the volunteers. Sapienza says he wrote to the volunteers on branch director Elaine Whiting's orders.
"They came to the conclusion that Auger's punishment was overly harsh," Sapienza said after the meeting.
Despite being suspended without pay for more than three-and-a-half months, Sapienza said he is happy with the decision.
"I'm blown away by the support, intelligence and dignity shown on both sides," Sapienza said. He said that the commission had walked a "tightwire," supporting the administration while acknowledging that, "(Auger's) punishment exceeded the infraction."
Auger, however, opined that the ruling provided a "fairly significant penalty."
"(The Commission) did confirm that I did not
act arbitrarily," Auger said after the meeting. "They asked me to reconsider, to
change the punishment to a four-month suspension."
Auger dismissed the notion that the 17,000-signature petition influenced the Commission. He pointed out that the petition garnered signatures from around the world and that relatively few came from library patrons.
"I think the commission needed to consider the facts of the case, which they did, and make a reasonable recommendation to me, which they did," he said. "Whether or not someone from South Africa feels strongly one way or another about the issue in the Warren Township library, is of little relevance to their decision making process."
Auger said he had not yet decided whether he would reassign Sapienza to his former post as circulation director at the Warren Township Library.
Meanwhile, the four-month suspension without pay has hit Sapienza hard.
He's currently packing to move from his Bridgewater house, which he was unable to keep after he was fired. He's moving in with friends for a while, he said, and intends to rent an apartment after he starts getting a paycheck again.
Still, Sapienza said, "The show of support was amazing." It shows you, he said, "The simple acts of individuals trump everything."

As I mentally prepare for my upcoming trip, I am overwhelmed with the thought of packing. I have started a list but have found myself sleepless at night, trying to make sure I don't forget to pack something of importance. Many of you know I'm not traveling to Chicago strictly for fun, I'm heading about 2.5 hours south (?) to farm country to take part in my best friends wedding. So as you can see, I have a lot to remember!
Last night my friend Nicole came over to give me a hair and makeup trial for the wedding. She is also invited and making the trip out to IL. Not only am I super glad she is going but since she'll be in the hotel with us, she has offered to do my hair and makeup, saving me quite a bit of money. That being said, after we were finished, it added even more to my packing list!
Ugh, packing is the worst! I love to travel but this list is getting longer and longer. I do have some packing tips and tricks for you, so don't worry this post isn't all about my rambling.
5 packing tips from me to you:
1. Write down everything and I mean everything
This might sound silly but how many times have we made mental notes, assuring ourselves we didn't need to write it down, only to forget it? Yep, happens all.the.time.
2. Pick your outfits out ahead of time
Besides my bridesmaid dress I do have to pack a few other things. Such as, a dress for the rehearsal dinner, clothes for Chicago and also the day we leave. I like to keep it simple and pack clothes that I can mix and match with, in case I feel fat in one thing (haha) I can switch to something else.
3. Undergarments are the key
I can't tell you how wonderful it is that I started buying "adult panties" and by adult I mean a brand other than Hanes. I started wearing these awesome panties by Warners and I am in love. I have also noticed that they have a great effect on my wardrobe. No more lines, no more muffin top; it's great and I actually just went to pick up a few more pairs to take on this trip.
4. 2 pairs of shoes, maxx
I know what you're thinking but I'm not kidding when I say only allow yourself two pairs of shoes. In my case it's 3 because of the wedding. However I am only packing 2 pairs. I plan on wearing the same pair on the days I don't have wedding stuff. I did however need a pair for my rehearsal dinner dress, there was just no getting around that.
5. Don't over think it
I know we can all get carried away and over pack for those just in case moments; but let's be serious for a moment; those just in case moments rarely come up. I tend to go crazy with the underwear, thinking that I'll need more pairs than I really do. I also think that I'm going to read two books on the plane. I am so easily distracted on airplanes, I should really only pack a magazine or two.
So these are my tips that I plan on sticking with when I start to pack next week. I've never been in a wedding that wasn't a drive away–I'm still slightly nervous that I'll forget something, but here's hoping I can keep it together! What are your tips for packing or traveling? Tell us in the comments below!

Eagle Scout renews cemetery
Dylan Emery, of English Center, appreciates history.
"History can be forgotten. Not everyone will remember unless they can see it," he said.
It was with this in mind that Emery chose to restore more than 75 tombstones at the Summit Cemetery in Cogan House Township. The 17-year-old is working toward the rank of Eagle Scout as a member of the township's Troop 20.
Emery met with the Summit Cemetery sexton, John Guild; Jersey Shore funeral director, Toby Welker and Troop 20's Scout Master, Jason Berkihiser, to propose the project.
The cemetery dates to the mid 1800s and many of the 750-plus monuments were in definite need of restoration. Some were leaning at odd angles, many had fallen and been cracked or broken and still other foundations had sunk so far into the ground that they were barely visible.
After receiving approval for the project in October 2012, Emery chose the stones he thought needed to be repaired, put up caution tape to mark them, made a list of the materials that would be needed and the cost. Actual work began in April with the help of six other Troop 20 scouts.
Stones were lifted from their bases by the boys while other larger monuments required a skid steerer donated by Fisher Mining in English Center.
The foundations were squared, leveled and the stones reset. Millings from a local road project were offered by Hawbaker Inc. and this material was used to fill around the foundations of the stones. A number of broken grave markers were repaired with concrete donated by the Summit Cemetery Association.
As the Scouts worked on the initial stones they discovered more and more that needed attention, including one with an original insignia that designated it as the grave of a Civil War veteran.
Near the end of June, with 213 hours invested in the project, the tombstones in Summit Cemetery were standing erect and solid once again.
Recently the Summit Cemetery board of directors congratulated Emery on his efforts.
"Emery's project has given new life to our cemetery. We could never have done this work ourselves. He has shown a real Eagle Scout spirit," Guild, in his capacity as sexton and member of the board of directors, said.
Working toward the rank of Eagle Scout requires dedication and discipline. Emery and his brother Derek have been in scouting for six years.
His father, Tim, assists Troop 20 in all their efforts and is an advocate of the scouting program for his sons.
Only four percent of Scouts ever attain this rank. Since the main emphasis is to teach leadership, becoming an Eagle Scout can be an important factor later in life when applying for educational scholarships or employment opportunities
In addition to the merit badges Emery has already earned, he must complete requirements for two more merit badges and document every aspect of the Summit Cemetery project in a 27-page report.
He hopes to complete all the requirements for his Eagle Scout rank by the end of this year.
When asked what advice he would give to other Scouts wanting to work toward their Eagle Scout rank, Emery said, "Always be persistent and it will pay off."
There is more than a century of history on the grave markers in Summit Cemetery.
A list of the requirements to earn Eagle Scout status can be found on the Boy Scouts of America website at www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/eagle.aspx.

MIDLAND, MI —All the glory and headlines that follow it usually is reserved for the skilled-position players.
You know, the quarterback who throws for 300 yards and four touchdowns. Or maybe the running back who rushes for 150 yards and two scores or perhaps the wide receiver who reels in the winning touchdown in the corner of the end zone.
In football, those who score the points are those who are usually seen as the heroes; it just works that way.
However, if you ask the coaches and the players themselves, they usually point in different directions depending on the instance.
When talking Midland High School football in 2012, the fingers pointed toward Steven Elmer, a man-mountain of a lineman who led the Chemics to the Saginaw Valley League title and to a No. 1 ranking in Division 2 in The Associated Press' final poll.
Elmer, who stands in at 6-foot-6 and 305 pounds, also led his team to a district title and into the regional round of postseason play, where they were bounced by Division 2 state finalist Muskegon.
The Notre Dame-bound Elmer had plenty of star-studded players around him this year, but he was the star of the team that shone brightest in mid-Michigan and statewide. For his great body of work in 2012, Elmer has been named the AP's Player of the Year in Division 1-2 in an honor being announced Saturday.
"He really stepped up this year as a senior," said Midland head coach Eric Methner. "He turned into a two-way guy for us and did a great job.
"Defensively, he could shut down two gaps by himself. Offensively, we were pretty balanced but when we ran we usually ran behind him. He's an outstanding young man, very humble in everything he does."
For the season, the Chemics ran for over 2,000 yards, and when they needed to convert on third or fourth down they usually ran behind their right tackle.
"I tried to clear the way and demolish the guy in front of me," said Elmer, who also carries a 4.35 GPA. "I felt like our team had great synergy, just the way we came together. Everything has kind of worked out well for me."
Elmer's teammate, quarterback Alec Johnson, was named honorable mention, while Methner also earned honorable mention.
Midland Dow senior Lucas Bourelle earned special mention as a linebacker.
