The anxiety was for naught, it turns out. The doors opened at Dorothy Lane's flagship store in Dayton, Ohio, and customers came streaming in. They ...

The sophomore running back is proving that talent runs deep in the Whetsel family of athletes.
His father Todd Whetsel, a physician, played football at the University of Oklahoma on scholarship. Older brothers Hunter and Shiloh are on scholarships at Texas State, Hunter for baseball and Shiloh as a football inside receiver.
"We played every day in the yard," Chase said. "Hunter, Shiloh and I tried to see who could score the most touchdowns," he said. "I beat Shiloh in 7th and 8th grade and Shiloh beat me last year with 26."
Along with the competition for numbers, the mutual support also runs deep. Chase now plays with Shiloh's number 5 on his jersey.
"Coach Herring and I talked over me changing numbers," he said.
As much as Chase "loves football," baseball is his first love. He's already talking to the University of Texas. Spending the summer at camp in Ft. Myers and Jupiter, Fla. and another two weeks in Atlanta, Ga. were good experiences that honed his skills even further.
"Kids were there from everywhere - the Dominican Republic and other places," he said. "Some didn't speak English but we had a great time."
Having Lunch with a Badge at Tejas BBQ with police officers Bill Schaefer and Bruce Radford, along with Refugio Councilman Dale Skrobarcek and Ron Lucich, restaurant owner, Chase said he was 100 percent glad he came to Refugio from Calallen.
"In Calallen, football is a school thing but here the whole town is behind it. I really like that," Chase said.
Last year when Chase was a freshman varsity running back, a bit of confusion erupted in the stands as Refugio's announcer, Dennis Bellows, called Whetsel Louie at times and Chase at other times. He answers to both. The athlete explained the origin of the nickname.
In Houston when Chase was four years old and playing peewee football, the team had several boys named Chase so the coach improvised.
"My Dad's best friend started calling me Little Louie; then it became Louie and it stuck," Chase said. "I can tell when I'm seriously in trouble, when my mother (Terri Whetsel) calls me Chase."
Last season, a daily newspaper even listed his statistics twice in the same article, once for Louie Whetsel and once for Chase Whetsel.
After last year's stellar performance by the freshman, little doubt remains that whether one calls him Chase or Louie, his record speaks for itself.
So far this season, Chase has accumulated 400 yards rushing with five touchdowns; 500 yards receiving with five touchdowns; and 3 punt returns for touchdowns, for a total of 13 touchdowns on the year.
As a sophomore who earned a state championship ring, Chase says that the talent on last year's team that was lost to graduation is made up in discipline. Last year's motto, "stay linked," has evolved to "leave no doubt," and Chase has no doubt.
"This team has 10 times more discipline," Chase said.
The bar remains high for all the Bobcats, on and off the field.
"So many little kids follow us and watch what we do 24/7 so we don't want to do anything stupid like cussing or acting dumb because they're constantly watching us," Chase said.
An honor student at RHS, Chase said, "My parents won't let me play if I make a C."
The controversy over last year's high-scores stand to be repeated if the 80-0 score against Taft on Friday continues through the season. But the player contends the game is not about how high the score but how perfect the game.
"We go into the game to make a statement and play perfect football," Chase said. "If it takes 100 points to make a perfect football game, then that's what it takes. We pay attention to each play. Even if we're ahead and someone makes a mistake or cuts wrong, we're going to hear about it."
Chase wouldn't have it any other way.
"Coach Herring is right about everything," he says. "He loves all of us — you don't have to be a starter and ever touch the football because he loves all the kids. He makes sure they do their homework and are learning. He asks questions and takes time to make sure. He's a coach and a dad, all at the same time and I love him to death."
As far as the criticism last year, "We don't pay attention. How are we gong to play four quarters in the playoffs if we don't start now, so there's no need to listen. Coach (Drew) Cox loves when people talk like that."
"I can't wait until Friday," Chase said.

|Henna/Lawsonia inermis (Henna Powder)
|Henna (Lawsonia inermis, also called mignonette tree) is a flowering plant used since antiquity to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather and wool. The name is also used for dye preparations derived from the plant, and for the art of temporary tattooing based on those dyes. Additionally, the name is misused for other skin and hair dyes, such as black henna or neutral henna, which do not derive from the plant.
Lawsonia inermis
|Henna is a tall shrub or small tree, 2.6 m high. It is glabrous, multibranched with spine tipped branchlets. Leaves are opposite, entire, glabrous, sub-sessile, elliptical, and broadly lanceolate (1.5–5.0 cm x 0.5–2 cm), acuminate, having depressed veins on the dorsal surface. Henna flowers have four sepals and a 2 mm calyx tube with 3 mm spread lobes. Petals are obvate, white or red stamens inserted in pairs on the rim of the calyx tube. Ovary is four celled, style up to 5 mm long and erect. Fruits are small, brownish capsules, 4–8 mm in diameter, with 32–49 seeds per fruit, and open irregularly into four splits.
Small Henna plant
|The henna plant is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, southern Asia, and northern Australasia in semi-arid zones. Henna's indigenous zone is the tropical savannah and tropical arid zone, in latitudes between 15° and 25° N and S from Africa to the western Pacific rim, and produces highest dye content in temperatures between 35 °C and 45 °C. During the onset of precipitation intervals, the plant grows rapidly; putting out new shoots, then growth slows. The leaves gradually yellow and fall during prolonged dry or cool intervals. It does not thrive where minimum temperatures are below 11 °C. Temperatures below 5 °C will kill the henna plant. Henna is commercially cultivated in UAE, Morocco, Yemen, Tunisia, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, western India, Iraq, Kurdistan, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Turkey, Somalia and Sudan. Presently the Pali district of Rajasthan is the most heavily cultivated henna production area in India, with over 100 henna processors operating in Sojat City.
|Henna has been used since the Bronze Age to dye skin (including body art), hair, fingernails, leather, silk and wool. In several parts of the world it is traditionally used in various festivals and celebrations. There is mention of henna as a hair dye in Indian court records around 400 CE, in Rome during the Roman Empire, and in Spain during Convivencia. It was listed in the medical texts of the Ebers Papyrus (16th c BCE Egypt) and by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (14th c CE (Syria and Egypt) as a medicinal herb. In Morocco, wool is dyed and ornamented with henna, as are drumheads and other leather goods.
Use of henna for body art has enjoyed a recent renaissance due to improvements in cultivation, processing, and the emigration of people from traditional henna-using regions.
For skin dyeing, a paste of ground henna (either prepared from a dried powder or from fresh ground leaves) is placed in contact with the skin from a few hours to overnight. Henna stains can last a few days to a month depending on the quality of the paste, individual skin type, and how long the paste is allowed to stay on the skin.
Henna also acts as an anti-fungal and a preservative for leather and cloth.
Henna flowers have been used to create perfume since ancient times, and henna perfume is experiencing a resurgence. Henna repels some insect pests and mildew.
Henna's coloring properties are due to lawsone, a burgundy organic compound that has an affinity for bonding with protein. Lawsone is primarily concentrated in the leaves, especially in the petioles of the leaf. Lawsone content in leaves is negatively correlated with the number of seeds in the fruits.
Henna powder
|Body art
|Whole, unbroken henna leaves will not stain the skin. Henna will not stain skin until the lawsone molecules are made available (released) from the henna leaf. Fresh henna leaves will stain the skin if they are smashed with a mildly acidic liquid. The lawsone will gradually migrate from the henna paste into the outer layer of the skin and bind to the proteins in it, creating a fast stain.
Since it is difficult to form intricate patterns from coarse crushed leaves, henna is commonly traded as a powder made by drying, milling and sifting the leaves. The dry powder is mixed with lemon juice, strong tea, or other mildly acidic liquids to make a preparation with toothpaste-like consistency, which can be used to make finely detailed body art. The henna mix must rest for 6 to 24 hours before use, to release the lawsone from the leaf matter. Essential oils with high levels of monoterpene alcohols such as tea tree, eucalyptus, cajeput, or lavender will improve skin stain characteristics.
The paste can be applied with many traditional and innovative tools, including resist, a cone, syringe, Jac bottle or fingers. A light stain may be achieved within minutes, the longer the paste is left on the skin, the stronger the stain will be, and should be left for several hours. To prevent it from drying or falling off the skin, the paste is often sealed down by dabbing a sugar/lemon mix over the dried paste, or simply adding some form of sugar to the paste. It is debatable whether this adds to the color of the end result some believe it increasing the intensity of the shade. After time the dry paste is simply brushed or scraped away.
Henna stains are orange soon after application, but darken over the following three days to a reddish brown. Soles and palms have the thickest layer of skin and so take up the most lawsone, and take it to the greatest depth, so that hands and feet will have the darkest and most long-lasting stains. Steaming or warming the henna pattern will darken the stain, either during the time the paste is still on the skin, or after the paste has been removed. Chlorinated water and soaps may spoil the darkening process: alkaline products may hasten the darkening process. After the stain reaches its peak color it will appear to fade, as the stained dead cells exfoliate.
|Hair dye
Henna has been used as a cosmetic hair dye for 6,000 years. In Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra and Nefertiti were known to have used it. It was commonly used for many centuries in areas of India, the Middle East, and Africa.
In this form, it is generally mixed with herbs and perfumes during manufacturing to give it a pleasant fragrance. It is prepared for use much the same way that it is prepared for body art: it is usually sold in block form, and is used in the quantity required for the desired shade of red, brown or black. This will vary according to the user's natural hair colour. The henna is grated into a non-metal container (metal may chemically interact with the henna and ruin the dye) such as a glass bowl. Then hot water is added to it, and the mixture is stirred with a non-metal tool such as a spatula. Once dissolved, the henna is spread onto clean, dry hair. The hair should then be covered with disposable plastic wrap to hold in the heat and moisture, which help the dye to activate. Since any henna that drips will dye skin or clothing, many users will then put a dark towel or a shower cap over the plastic. The henna typically requires at least four hours of processing time before it is washed out. Once hair is dyed with henna, the colour will gradually fade, but it will do so slowly, since henna dye is a protein that adheres to the hair.
|"Neutral henna" and "Black henna"
|Natural henna stains only a rich red brown. Products sold as "black henna" or "neutral henna" do not contain henna, but are instead made from other plants, or from other substances altogether.

Greeting Card Sales Rep Contracts
Here is an excerpt from the book "Get Your Greeting Cards into Stores."
In my experience of working with over 100 greeting card sales reps, I have found that contracts are rarely used. Even if you don't have a contract; it is advisable to write your own business policies. If for some reason there is confusion about commission rates or shipping costs, then it is all in writing. I call this an "Agreement Form" and I asked the rep to read and sign it before I shipped a sample deck of cards to them. For example, one of my policies was that I did not accept returns. For some reps, this might be a surprise. It is better they know up front instead of finding out later, after they accept a return from a store. Having them sign a form will motivate them to read your policies thoroughly.
An agreement form might include the following:
-The rep's territory.
-Card prices
This lists the wholesale price of your cards in dozens and half dozens, and if there is any discount for larger quantities.
-The rep's commission.
This is normally 20 percent for handmade cards.
This is the day of the month the rep is paid. I made it a policy to pay reps two weeks after the prior month ended. For example, their commission for all the orders I shipped in May would be paid on June 15.
-Minimum order
This is the minimum sized order you will accept. A good starting point is $100, but in the beginning, it is OK to not have a minimum. This allows the store to try out your line first, without investing in a large order.
State whether you accept returns and on what conditions. For example, you might accept undamaged holiday card returns.
-Promo materials
This says what sales support materials you offer, such as catalogs, store signs or headers (sign behind cards on a rack that say things like "Birthday") or store racks.
-Late accounts.
This says you will notify the rep of stores who are ninety days overdue on paying. This allows the rep to know the status of slow payers. They might want to help you collect.
-Rack program
This describes whether you offer card racks. It is something you probably do not need at the beginning of your business, but later, reps can help you consider different options for offering racks to stores.
-Shipping charges
Are your charges by weight or by a percentage of the invoice? I chose to have a percentage of the invoice, so that even the rep could estimate the shipping charges when at a sales meeting.
If you already make your own greeting cards, this book explains how to get your cards into stores and sell them sell nationwide. Included are guidelines on: how to price your cards for a profit, how to get professional feedback, where to find a sales representative and and what industry standards you should follow. All the information is also applicable to gift items, such as magnets, journals, calendars, collectibles, etc.

The 5 feet story of Thomas Stamford Raffles
Suryatini N. Ganie
The Napoleonic Wars in Europe in the early 19th century reverberated in the small towns of the East Indies: though only for a short time, the British took over the colony from the Dutch.
The Governor General was Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. He ordered the construction of sidewalks along the main streets of Batavia of a certain height and width: 1 foot (33.5 centimeters) by about 5 feet.
Little did Sir Thomas know that sidewalks would become a very lively place for trade and commerce in the future. His 1-foot high and 5-foot deep sidewalks became known as the kaki (feet) lima (five), or the kaki lima.
Actually the Malay translation was not correct: 5 feet should be lima kaki. The mistranslation may explain why conventional wisdom holds that the city's pedagang kaki lima, or street vendors, take their name from pushcarts with 3 feet and the two-footed vendors who push them.
The kaki lima in Indonesia offered a potpourri of goods such as socks, blouses, pots and pans. The fact that nowadays sidewalks are occupied by small eateries and stands was probably outside the realm of consideration for Raffles.
Though sometimes not travelling on paved sidewalks, kaki lima vendors have remained peripatetic since Raffles, stopping at the request of a patron or moving in search of a strategic place.
Slowly, kaki lima became connected with food. The food served became known as makanan kaki lima, or sidewalk food.
Don't assume that Jakarta's sidewalk cuisine typifies local food. Perhaps that was true 30 years ago, but not today.
A good example comes from vendors from Tegal, a small seaside town on Java's north coast. The food they sell has nothing to do with local Jakarta food, but their warteg (or warung tegal Tegal-style foodstalls) have become a local institution.
The people from the Sundanese highlands working out of similarly named warsun are another example, offering sayur asem, lalap, pepes ikan and other dishes from distant lands.
When trying kaki lima food, choose items that are constantly boiled over flame, such as bubur ayam (chicken porridge), which is typically sold by an kaki lima vendor and enjoyed for breakfast or late at night. The vendors' iced drinks are not for those with weak stomachs, nor are drinks made with santan (coconut milk).
In defense of kaki lima food, there are many other types of food you can (safely) enjoy while strolling along the city's bustling sidewalks.
The food sold by kaki lima vendors no longer reflects local foods reflecting the nature of Jakarta's melting pot. Jakarta is home to the Betawi people, but finding authentic Betawi (I prefer to say Jakarta) food is difficult due to the influx of other regional, and even foreign, food.
Local Jakarta delicacies such as nasi uduk and its special side dishes such as semur tahu or semur jengkol are now more geared to the taste of non-Betawi people. For instance, semur jengkol was a must-have side dish for the people of Condet and Ciganjur on the outskirts of eastern and southern Jakarta.
Some locals who thought they were true nasi uduk connoisseurs changed semur jengkol into ayam goreng (fried chicken) and semur daging because jengkol, with its strong aftertaste, was considered an inferior foodstuff not fit to serve to non-Betawi.
Semur jengkol was previously made according to the availability of the ingredients and in spacious gardens where the jengkol tree was always present. Traditional sop kambing (goat soup) can know only be found in very special places such as Tanah Abang and in Menteng area. Kerak telur — in my youth the most well-known sidewalk food and a true Betawi speciality — is now only available as a delicacy at Betawi food festivals!
Now hamburgers, hot dogs and donat (doughnuts) await Jakarta's hungry masses — as does pempek from Palembang, pecel lele (milk fish) from East Java, gudeg from Yogyakarta and the city's ubiquitous warteg.
Hygiene remains a problem for sidewalk dining as clean dish washing is seldom practiced due to a lack of running water.
When exploring kaki lima foods today at up-market establishments, consider the history of the region and the introduction of food from other areas.
Here with the recipe of onde-onde: Soak 100 grams mung beans overnight until the skin can be discarded. Fry in 150 milliliters (ml) cooking oil until done. Drain, pound with 100 grams sugar powder.
Mix 500 grams fresh glutinous rice flour with 100 grams sugar powder, 1 tsp vanilla powder, a pinch of salt and 100 ml water. Mix until smooth. Take 1 Tbs glutinous rice flour mixture, flatten. Fill with 1 tsp pounded mung bean, form balls. Roll into 150 grams sesame seeds. Fry in 500 ml cooking oil until brownish.

Background: As the number of angina patients with severe coronary artery disease not amenable to revascularization increases, new therapies will be developed. How patients with depressed compared to normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) will respond to new therapies may differ.
Hypothesis: We conducted a retrospective chart review to determine the distribution of LVEF in angina patients with severe coronary artery disease (three-vessel disease with >50% stenosis major epicardial vessels or >50% stenosis left main) not amenable to revascularization.
Methods: Patients underwent cardiac catheterization between 2004 and 2009. LVEF, measured by echocardiography, nuclear-gated imaging or radioventriculography within 6 months of catheterization, was recorded. Demographics, symptoms, risk factors, past myocardial infarction, catheterization results, medications, and the Duke Coronary Artery Jeopardy Score were recorded.
Results: Eight thousand six hundred and ninety-nine patient charts were reviewed; 124 met criteria. There was a continuous, and not bimodal, distribution of LVEF. Fifty-eight patients (47%) in the normal LVEF group were compared to 66 patients (53%) in the abnormal LVEF group (<50%). The two groups were statistically different only with respect to shortness of breath as a presenting symptom and diagnosis of congestive heart failure during index hospitalization. Follow-up mortality was high and did not differ between LVEF groups (35% vs. 34%).
Conclusion: There is a wide distribution of LVEF among angina patients not amenable to revascularization. A novel finding of this study showed that mortality was high regardless of LVEF. As new therapies for angina are developed, attention will need to be paid to how such therapies affect these two patient groups.

Final Stats
RICHMOND, VA - After suffering from double-digit opposition comebacks in back-to-back losses against Elizabeth City State and at Lincoln (PA), the Fayetteville State men's basketball team responded in a big way during a 94-77 win at Virginia Union on Saturday.
Tyrrel Tate scored a season-best 31 points and Joshua Dawson had 16 points and seven assists as the Broncos (10-5 overall, 3-2 CIAA) surpassed last year's win total and evened the 10 wins the program had in 2011-12. It's the second time FSU has knocked off VUU this season. Torian Showers had nine rebounds and Marquette Hill hauled in seven boards.
FSU, eager to snap that two-game skid, went on an 8-0 run less than five minutes into the game to turn an 8-7 lead into a 16-7 chasm. Tate had six of his points on that run and 15 of his points in the first half.
From there, the Broncos built their lead to 11, at 26-15, on a Juwan Addison 3-pointer with 9:57 to go in the first. The Panthers cut into the lead by as much as four in the first half, but it was a 44-35 Broncos edge at the half.
FSU never trailed in the second half, but the Broncos were sure tested. After taking a 44-35 lead into halftime, the Panthers rallied to tie the score at 49-49 with 17:20 to play. This time around, however, the Broncos bent but didn't break.
A 7-0 run immediately followed, thanks to a Showers layup, an Addison jumper and a Devin Thompson 3.
Virginia Union was down just five with 8:44 left in the game, but a 10-0 run gave the Broncos the edge they needed to coast to victory. Dawson hit a 3-pointer, Tate converted a 3-point play and Hill followed with a dunk to make it 78-63.
In the second half alone, FSU outscored VUU 22-1 off of turnovers, 10-1 on second-chance points and 14-4 on the fast break. For the game, the Broncos had the edge in those categories 30-7, 16-10 and 18-10, respectively.
FSU outrebounded the Panthers, 42-35, and forced 19 turnovers.
The Broncos conclude their three-game road trip at Bowie State at 7:30 pm on Monday.

And that's the last we hear from him
I only started running properly last year at 49 1/2, as my body started to crumble from too many years of Rugby, and then heavy weights - I thought I'd try something different. I have no natural speed in my body so picked this 8 week plan as it seemed to concentrate on that.
Maybe, I'm just a big old plodder.
Hi, I'm 51 and 18 st ( I am also 6'5" and built, so I'm not really a chubber ). I run a bit, 3 times a week 8 - 15 km at a time, but not too fast. Last year I trained up a bit, trying hard to get under 50 mins the month I turned 50 in a 10k ( I was annoyed as I did it in 50 mins 31 secs ).
After a few months over Christmas not running at all I started back, and then 8 weeks out from my now annual 10 km arace I started an 8 week program of around 30 - 40km per week. I'm hoping to do around 55mins this year as I'm a bit heavier ( I starved myself last year ) and started serious training a month or so later.
The problem is this, on upping my training now to 5 times a week, some days I have a great day, I could run and run, and then the next I pack in as I either can't keep the tempo pace for more than a couple of km's, or I'm just knackered. A day off and I'm back running fine.
Is it just my age that is causing me to need more and longer recovery, perhaps 5 times a week is too much ( it wasn't last year ). The program I'm using has much more speed work than long runs, which is how I ran last year, should I go back to longer slower runs and just hope for some speed on the day?
I get miserable as shit after a bad run...
I use bodyglide and it stops both rubbed nips and the "chub rub".
The only problem is walking in to a shop and buying somehing that sounds like a gay sex aid.
Getting back to running again after a few weeks of, but after a good session yesterday. My bum and calves ache a bit, not agony or restrictive in any way - just sore. Standard DOMS.
Now I'm fairly new to this running stuff, but when I used to lift a lot of heavy weights I'de only train any body part once a week ans ALWAYS wait until the DOMS had settled down before training that body part again.
So, should I run again tonight?

10/13/2008 – Peter Schiff On Glenn Beck
<Admin: Here's a snip of what Beck and Peter Schiff were talking about right after the October 2008 crash>
…I got a call from a friend of mine who is very high placed. Everyone I know, Glenn, is reading about the Weimar Republic. I said, Oh Geez, you mean the loaf of bread with a wheelbarrow full of money – Republic? He said "Uh huh".
It is what a lot of people believe is coming. Try to find a book – on line – about the Weimar Republic – you will have a hard time finding some of the books – a lot of them are – just gone. Who's reading them all?
Peter Schiff, president of Europac and author of the "Little Book About Bear Moves and Bull Markets". Peter, worst nightmare, looks like it's coming through…

One day we will face our children…they will ask if our big, unaffordable homes, "free" universal health care, and "buy it now" lifestyle were worth enslaving them for.

Ok, I bowled here and it was terrible. It made bowling feel like a job. A real dump. I was on a league and then the league just died. I ordered food numerous times but the last time I got so ill I knew it was serious. I had extreme pain in my lungs after eating fries and the pain lasted for the entire nite. Never in my life have I had this before and not since. I am glad I recovered. I absolutely hate this place and am so glad its GONE. I saw that it has been leterally boarded up. Worst place in Ankeny.
August 12, 2011
Feel bad giving such a poor review--the people there were perfectly nice. Not super friendly, but nice enough. This bowling alley is just run down and needs some updating. We had a small kid's birthday party (2 lanes) and the pins had to keep being reset, over and over again. The kids still had fun, but they definitely were ready to be done after one game. It started to get frustrating for them, too, that the pins weren't being reset automatically much of the time. It seems like a city as large as Ankeny could really support a nice, updated bowling alley. My kids would much prefer to go someplace like Bass Pro Shops but we needed something in Ankeny for our party.
April 2, 2011
Just a horrible place with rotten pinsetters that break down all the time and unplayable lanes. They should flatten it and turn it into a Walgreen's

Fun but expensive. Go only during specials.

Had a great time, went for an elementary school PTO special, staff was great, especially with our young bowlers. They were very helpful, and had lightweight balls for the kids.

The original owner of Ankeny Lanes is back and is committed to bringing all of his bowlers back that he lost during the short time he was gone. The lanes are ready to go, staff is friendly and willing to go out of their way to make your time at Ankeny Lanes a fun time. If you are one of the many who have not been in lately, stop by and give them your business. It is truly a family based center. Fall leagues will be exciting this year with some special twists and specials planned.
July 21, 2010
The staff was great with our very large group for the kids birthday party!! We appreciate the clean atmosphere and friendly people. Anything we needed, they helped out with.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
May 27, 2009
All the leagues here are fun and the staff is great. Any one serious about the game knows that good bowlers adjust to different lane conditions and do not blame their own inabilities on something they can't figure out. So come on out to ankeny lanes and see what those in the know are talking about.
April 24, 2009
This is not the place you want to bowl if you are at all serious about the game. Going for fun is one thing, but the leagues here are a joke and the lane conditions are some of the worst I have ever seen. On the plus side, it's under new ownership so hopefully things turn around.
January 12, 2008
Me and my friends go there all the time. The best is midnight bowling. You bowl from 10:30-12:30 for about $10-20. I highly recommend this bowling alley for anyone up in Ankeny.

Anatomy Of A TV Season: The Hits & Misses
It's almost May Sweeps, and season finales will be upon us faster than the networks can cancel soaps. Let's break it down, network by network, of what succeeded – and what flopped – this TV season.
Let's start with the weakest network. After the 'Jay Leno Show' debacle last season, NBC is still scrambling to find original programming that will net decent ratings.
'Law & Order: Los Angeles' has proved a disappointment, as evidenced by its massive overhaul and return to floundering ratings. The comedy 'Outsourced' is on the bubble, and shows such as 'Chase' and 'Undercovers' bombed outright. Veterans that never brought strong ratings – such as 'Chuck' - are on the verge of cancellation. Promising newbies like 'Harry's Law' have recently dipped in the ratings. Classics like 'The Office' are facing major changes, and the much-hyped 'The Event' continues to embarrass itself, ratings-wise.
If NBC should have learned anything from 'LOST,' it's that viewers do not stick around after a ridiculously long hiatus. (As a casual viewer, I nailed a major flaw with 'The Event': while sometimes suspenseful and entertaining, it is utterly humorless. Why should we care about any of those people?) NBC certainly has its work cut out for itself for fall 2011 shows. The days of 'Seinfeld,' 'Friends,' 'Frasier' and a young 'ER' seem so long gone.
The network gambled and won with its 'American Idol' reboot. New judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler have proved to be charming, and recent criticism that the judges have been waaaaay too kind (and thus, confusing to viewers as to who to vote for – right, Pia?) have only helped it in the ratings.
Likewise, after an admirable start, 'Glee' – though not a ratings killer – is one of the most buzzed about shows in the world, and will be on the network for some time to come. The new comedy 'Raising Hope' proved itself in quality and ratings and was thus renewed for season two. Not so lucky were the quickly cancelled 'Lone Star' and the Will Arnett-Keri Russell starrer 'Running Wilde.'
The well-reviewed 'Traffic Light' has seen anemic ratings at best, and the new Christian Slater comedy, 'Breaking In,' still has to prove itself without an 'American Idol' lead-in.
Remember when this network had breakout hits like 'LOST,' 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Desperate Housewives'? Its success has been only marginal since. This season was so-so: 'Dancing With the Stars' continues to draw (old) viewers, while 'Castle' was renewed early. 'Desperate Housewives' is likely to be re-upped for an eighth season despite a drop in viewership (the only hold-up is contract talks with the main stars).
New comedies like Matthew Perry's 'Mr. Sunshine' and 'Better With You' have made a mild impression, but are not necessarily expected to survive. The Tuesday lineup of 'V' and 'No Ordinary Family' failed miserably, and the well-received but gritty 'Detroit 1-8-7' appears unlikely to be back.
The medical drama 'Off the Map' has underperformed, and the verdict is still out on Dana Delany's 'Body of Proof,' though the show has done well following 'Dancing With the Stars' so far.
The top network is in a strange position: it's got a ton of hits (thanks to its crime heavy procedural dramas) but its biggest comedy is perched on a cliff. The aging 'Two and a Half Men' – despite whatever Charlie Sheen says – is likely to return in the fall without him, and possibly with a new star. How will it affect the show, and the network? Time will tell.
CBS tried out the freshman success 'Mike & Molly' in the same time slot this week, and the result was not promising. It appears likely 'Two and a Half Men' will be back, but its longevity is precarious. A likely successor in its Monday time slot (ultimately) is the still-hot 'Big Bang Theory,' which has been a smash on Thursdays. CBS' dramas have been doing fine, despite some ratings erosion, and its new shows – such as 'Hawaii Five-O' and Tom Selleck's 'Blue Bloods' – will be back.
Only 'The Defenders' – with ratings NBC would probably kill for – is potentially on the chopping block. Veteran 'How I Met Your Mother,' which used to be on the bubble year to year, was recently renewed through 2013.
The CW
'America's Next Top Model' is likely to be back despite some viewership problems, and veteran 'Smallville' will finally wrap it up after 10 seasons. 'One Tree Hill' does not look like a good bet to come back, but '90210' does.
There you have it. What do you hope will be saved or sacrificed? Do you think NBC has a shot at returning to the top spot in a couple of years? Will 'The Office' survive without Steve Carell? Sound off in the comments.

Ten people are taking part. It will follow the format of the popular show but it will take more than just smooth moves to win.
"The person who wins isn't necessarily the best dancer, but the person who can raise the most funds for the works and the mission of the Boys and Girls club here," said Executive Director of the Club Sam Banks.
The event is November 2, at The Refinery. All money raised will go to the club's after-school activities.

The ultra-high-definition (UHD) video is not coming only to living rooms and cabinets, it is coming to every device possible, catalyzing new levels of performance across the continuum of computing devices. NPD DisplaySearch predicts that as many as 23 million of smartphones with screens featuring 3840*2160 resolution will be shipped next year.
"Market growth for smartphones with high-definition screens is being fueled by increasingly affordable application processors, which along with increased production of high resolution smartphone displays are enabling brands to provide greater resolution and lower power consumption at lower prices," said Tina Teng, senior analyst for smartphones at NPD DisplaySearch.
Global smartphone shipments are expected to reach 1.2 billion in 2014. With a three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13%, shipments will rise to 1.7 billion by 2017. Although entry-level smartphones priced below $200 will account for 35% of total smartphone shipments in 2014, the average display resolution will continue to increase globally.
Global shipments of smartphones with high-definition (HD) and full-high-definition (FHD) screens are forecast to reach 570 million in 2014. Displays with 2560*1440 or 2560*1600 (also known as wide-quad-HD or 2K) shipments are also expected to reach significant levels. NPD DisplaySearch forecasts 41 million will ship in 2014.
According to NPD DisplaySearch, 4K displays will account for more than 5% of smartphone shipments in North America and Japan in 2015, and just under 5% in Western Europe.
AUO, JDI, Samsung, and other display-panel manufacturers already have 2K displays in production, and applications processor and GPU (graphic processor unit) vendors have products ready to support and handle display resolutions beyond 1080p.
All told, smartphones with HD and higher display resolutions will comprise over half of global shipments in 2014, up from 29% in 2013.

Chapter 4 : Fourth.
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
After her shower, Meg wrapped a towel around her body and opened up her wardrobe. She only had about 3 dresses because she never thought she'd have to actually wear them. Obviously she was wrong and she laid them out on the bed.
The first one was purple, knee length and had a halter neck. The second was red, strapless and looked like it would go just above her knees, and the last one was black, strapless and went above her knees. Personally, she liked the purple one, but knew the other girls would force the black one onto her.
She threw her underwear on and a strapless bra; slipped on some shorts, a one shouldered top and her flip flops. She didn't see the need to get all fancy till she got to Sylvia's room. Her black dress in one hand, make-up bag in the other, she started walking down the stairs to the 15th floor.
As she walked down the corridors, she thought about Gavin. She knew she liked him too and didn't see the harm in giving it a go, they had lots of time to get to know each other, and it would certainly be an experience for her.
Sighing contently, she knocked on the door numbered 567 and slouched onto on leg slightly. In less than a second Sylvia swung open the door and pulled Meg in.
"Finally you're here! We've all fixed each other up, now it's just you we've got to worry about! Let's see your dress then."
Meg handed over her dress and sat down on Sylvia's bed. Hannah was wearing a peach coloured dress that flowed down to her knees and had halter neck; Mary was wearing a strapless floral dress that was patterned with flowers and Sylvia was wearing a blood red strapless dress that hung to her sides and went just above her mid-thigh. To Meg they all looked stunning.
Quickly she slipped into her dress and let them all fuss over her, laughing slightly. Hannah was doing her hair, Sylvia her make-up and Mary was looking for a pair of shoes that would go with her dress- she settled for a simple pair of black heels. Sylvia stepped back and looked at Meg as if she were something she had just painted and sighed dramatically.
"I am amazing," she breathed out.
Mary rolled her eyes and laughed. "You do look nice, Meg."
Mary's mouth opened wide with shock. "Nice? Nice?! She looks like she's just come out of Witch Weekly!"
Hannah sighed at Sylvia. "You haven't even given the girl a chance to look at herself- here you go." She handed Meg a mirror and her eyes widened.
Her skin looked even paler than earlier, but it wasn't the kind of ill pale anymore, more of a china doll pale, and her red lips helped with that a lot. Sylvia hadn't put much eyeliner on her, but she had put on enough to make her dark brown eyes pop out and look big. Her hair was let out in its ringlets and flowed down her back and she blushed a little.
"Thank...Thank you." She smiled shyly at the older girls.
They beamed down at her and Hannah grabbed her hand. "C'mon then! Let's show the Wizarding world how fabulous we look tonight."
Laughing, together they walked down the stairs, holding each other's hands and giggling whenever one of them tripped a little. When they finally reached the bottom floor they walked towards the giant doors and saw that all four boys were there already.
John smirked and reached out for Sylvia's hand, who took it eagerly. Peter's eyes seemed to bulge out of its sockets, Albus only raised an eyebrow but Meg swore she saw a smile on his lips. Hannah and Mary went of to their partners and Meg stood in front of Gavin, shyly tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear.
"Hi," she said, looking to the floor.
He grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles, making her bite her lip and blush furiously. She finally looked over at what he was wearing. A black suit and a black tie. Simple, but it made Meg's inside flutter.
"Hi," he replied and smiled at her.
They stared at each other for another moment and Meg giggled quietly. She felt pretty. Very pretty.
"Alright, everyone! I'm glad you're all here on time. Once the doors open, you're live. Everyone can see you. We're going to walk in with me at the front, then the 7th years, first pair of 6th, second pair of 6th, then the 5th years. When you walk in you will wait at the doors for a moment so the commentators can introduce you, then you will sit were your name is. Understand? Good. Get in order, quickly!"
Everyone rushed to get in line, Meg ended up behind Hannah and Gavin behind Peter. She suddenly felt nervous. What if she tripped? What if she did something stupid? She bit the inside of her gum and played with a piece of her hair, something she did when she was nervous or scared.
Gavin seemed to notice how she was acting because he bent down to her height and kissed her lips softly, taking her off guard. "You'll be fine. You look beautiful," he whispered in her ear and smiled encouragingly at her.
She kept her eyes on him and nodded, not trusting her self to speak and sighed out of happiness.
"3...2...1...We're live!"
The doors opened loudly and the light from the room made Meg squint her eyes slightly. Slowly, they walked forward, she couldn't see properly what it was like inside because of her height, but before she knew it she was standing at the front of the room with a levitating camera a few feet in front of her.
Not sure what to do, she bit her lip but spotted Fletcher making a semi circle with his finger and quickly smiled at the camera, understanding his gesture. She smiled a little more and when the camera moved from in front of them she walked inside, looking for her seat.
The room reminded her of the Great Hall slightly, but without windows and only a small round table in the middle of the room instead of 4 long ones.
She sat down, Albus on her left, Peter on her right and Sylvia opposite her. She smiled at Peter and whispered a 'hello.'
She rubbed her hands underneath the table and waited for Professor Fletcher to speak.
"You look rather lovely tonight."
Meg jumped but hid it and looked over at Albus, blushing.
"So do the rest of the girls here."
"Yes, but it looks like you actually tried."
Meg was taken back and raised an eyebrow, confused. He confused her. Usually, she was good at observing and reading people, but he was acting like a book that was too irritating to even look at. She wasn't going to deny that he also looked lovely too, wearing a black suit and waist coat with a emerald green tie.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I understand."
"Oh I think you do," he snapped back. He motioned over to Gavin with his eyes and Meg crossed her arms. Albus snickered.
"So, are you two a thing now or what?"
Meg frowned and sent him a glare. She hadn't ever been this way with anyone before, but right now Albus was pulling on her strings like a child and she did not appreciate it.
"What's it to you?" She asked, and then slowly smirked. "Jealous?" She knew he wasn't, no-one would be.
"Of you? No, not really. Gavin isn't my type, you know?" He replied, smirking back.
Meg clenched her jaw and sat back on her seat, ignoring him completely.
"Hello, witches and wizards! I hope you are all feeling wonderful this evening, or morning, whatever it is for you wherever you are in the world. I am delighted to have you with us whilst we celebrate these brilliant minded students on what they will be doing in just a few days time." Fletcher spoke, everyone in the hall feel silent and listened to him speak, hoping that they'd get some more information on the test. "The test they will be doing in a few days is not like any ordinary one, it isn't a test of the brain, but a test of the mind."
Meg frowned and whispered his last words to herself, confused. How would he test our minds?
"I want to see how far these clever children can last with what they will be given. Now, I hope you all stick with them throughout their journey, as it will be all broadcasted live, and enjoy it as much as myself and these students surely will. Let's eat!" He clapped his hand twice and food appeared on the table just as it does at Hogwarts and Meg felt slightly homesick- or rather, school sick.
She filled her plate with roast beef, some vegetables and filled her cup with pumpkin juice, eating slower than usually; reminding herself many people were watching her eat. It was silent for a little while, apart from the sounds of knives and forks hitting plates and one or two voices.
"So, let's go around the table, tell us something about yourself that not many people know," Fletcher said. "I'll start, not many people know that I received an O for all my subjects whilst I was at school, John, you're up," he pointed at him.
Meg bit her lip and tried to think of something for herself.
"Well...I have this rather odd issue where I can't walk down or up a stair case with anyone, it's got to be only me," he laughed quietly.
"Why? Your ego that big that you need a whole staircase for it?" Mary chipped in and everyone laughed.
"No, it's not that," John chuckled.
"Then what is it, John?" Fletcher wiped his hands on a tissue and looked at him intently.
John stared back at him for a moment in a slightly challenging way, and then he finally said: "No reason."
Fletcher nodded slowly and smirked. "Of course."
"Mary, how about you?"
"The Sorting Hat was considering putting me in Hufflepuff," she said.
Everyone was shocked and many gasps went round the table.
"Really? That would be strange, seeing as you aren't...Hufflepuff-ish," Sylvia said.
"I know, that's what I told the hat, and it put me in Ravenclaw instead."
"I've never stepped a foot in the Forbidden Forest."
"Why not?" Fletcher asked, again with that creepy look.
Hannah's eyes widened. "For the obvious reason- It's forbidden."
"I've been there," Albus said.
Many voices seconded his comment and Hannah shrugged.
"I became an aunt last week!" She exclaimed happily.
Meg smiled and everyone congratulated her.
"What's the baby called?" Peter asked.
"My sister named her Annabeth, she has a thing for long names," Sylvia rolled her eyes and smiled.
"That is lovely, Gavin?"
"I once left my little cousin on my broom in the air for an hour or two, he was scared stiff and didn't know how to come down, it was funny to watch," he laughed and everyone shook their heads at him.
"Why? Is he scared of heights?" Fletcher said.
Gavin stopped laughing and frowned. "I suppose."
"Peter, your turn."
Peter looked around the table and scratched the back of his neck, obviously in thought. "I used to have a pet snake."
"Why don't you have it anymore?" John asked.
"It got out of it's box and just left," he shrugged. "I didn't even like it much, it scared my mum." He laughed shyly.
"Meg? How about you love?"
Meg's eyes widened and she bit her lip again.
"I...I had an operation once," she said slowly and looked down.
"An operation? Whatever for? Was it serious?" Fletcher asked, his voice sounded curious, but his face looked very smug.
"It...Yes, it was serious, I had an accident." Meg closed her eyes lightly.
Nobody knew about that night, not even Chloe, and she wasn't about to let the whole Wizarding world know.
"Alright then. Albus? Your turn." Gavin said quickly, sensing Meg's discomfort.
"No- Wait a second. What happened in this accident? Did anyone get hurt badly?" Professor Fletcher said, putting up his hand to hush Gavin.
Meg frowned slightly. She didn't like the tone in which he was speaking to her with. Meg looked closely at the Professor, there was something rather strange about him, whenever he spoke to any of them he seemed to know more about them than the student would like.
"It was nothing. I survived. End of." She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. She hadn't snapped like that to anyone before. But she also didn't want to be reminded of what had happened that night, though thanks to the Professor it was all coming back to her.
"Alright then. Albus, your next," Gavin repeated.
Meg had leaned back on the chair and couldn't see how concerned he looked. She didn't want to look up and see everyone's curious eyes on here.
"I can't swim."
"Really? Why haven't you ever tried to learn?"Asked Fletcher. He was still looking at Meg with his beady eyes.
Albus frowned. "Who said I haven't tried?"
Fletcher's eyes snapped off of Meg and he looked at Albus, his eyes widened a fraction on an inch.
"I was only assuming, by the way you had said it. So you have tried?"
"No. I haven't."
Silence fell at the table. The food disappeared and reappeared but this time with deserts. Meg leaned forward and put some pudding onto her plate. Conversations started around the table, but Meg did not include herself with any of them. She ate her pudding in silence and drank her coffee in silence. After she had finished she wiped her hands on a tissue and leaned her head onto her palm. She didn't feel in the mood for socialising anymore. Meg had this problem which was if she was happy one minute, it only took a small thing to bring her down and her mood is changed instantly. All she could think about was the car cra-
No. I won't think of it. I will smile and pretend I'm alright.
A tapping on her arm brought her out of her thoughts. Slowly she turned her head to Albus and looked at him without an expression.
"Did you want something?"
"Not really. Only wanted to ask you if you wanted to go outside for a bit, it looks like you need the fresh air."
Meg thought so too. "But I can just up and go by myself, I'd look mad, I'll just wait till this thing is over," she shrugged and turned forwards again.
"No! What I meant was you go outside with me."
For the first time since they arrived at the hotel Albus looked slightly sheepish and embarrassed. Meg bit the inside of her gum.
"Sure thing. I think I'll need someone to stop me from jumping in front of a train anyway, even if it is you," she laughed and smiled. "I'm not sure how we're going to be able to just leave the hall though."
Albus chuckled. "Alright, leave this to me."
Meg watched as he leaned over to tell Fletcher something. He pointed over to Meg at one point. She only heard a few words which were 'get something' and 'be back soon.' Fletcher looked a bit annoyed but he nodded anyway.
Albus patted her hand and they both stood up, earning glances from everyone. Gavin raised an eyebrow at Meg and she mouthed to him 'need some fresh air,' then smiled slightly. He nodded and continued eating his apple pie.
Once they had walked outside the hotel, Meg gasped as the cold air hit her, shivered and wrapped her arms around her torso. She looked to the floor and they stood in silence for a moment, before Albus suddenly took his blazer off and put it on her shoulders.
"You're obviously colder than I am," he said.
"Thank you," she smiled at him, slightly confused as to why he was abruptly being so nice to her.
"Don't take it personally, I'm only being polite," he replied and Meg's smile fell from her face.
Spoke too soon.
Meg rolled her eyes and looked away. Silence fell once again and Albus coughed awkwardly.
"What happened back there?"
"What do you mean?"
Albus' eyes narrowed and he licked his lips.
"I mean with Fletcher."
Meg sighed. She knew exactly what he meant.
"Do I have to talk about it?"
"Then I won't."
"But I'd like to know."
Meg laughed. "So I have to tell you just because you'd 'like' to know?" She raised an eyebrow.
His jaw clenched. "No. I'm just curious. I want to know about it. I want to know about you."
Meg frowned in confusion and even Albus seemed surprised at his own words. Why does he want to know about me?
"I don't understand?"
"I don't either."
They looked at each other for a moment. Their eyes locked.
They are very green. A very pretty green.
Albus laughed. "What?"
Meg's eyes widened and she blushed. She didn't realise she had said that out loud.
"I meant your eyes, they're green," she said quietly. She bit her lip and looked down.
Albus chuckled again and lifted her head to face his with a finger.
"You said they were pretty too."
"I did not."
"You did too."
She crossed her arms and pouted, which made him smirk.
"Your eyes are pretty too."
Meg looked up to him and bit her lip to stop herself from grinning at the blush that was creeping onto his cheeks.
"You don't have to lie to me to be polite, Mr. Potter."
"But I'm not lying."
Meg laughed. "Of course you are my eyes are utterly dull. And anyway I'd rather you just say the truth instead of-
Meg was caught off guard and interrupted with Albus' lips suddenly on hers. Kissed twice today. She thought. Who would've thought it'd happen to me? She wanted to pull away; she knew it was wrong of her to like the feeling of his lips, his soft, tender lips, she knew she was almost being whore-ish by kissing back after getting with Gavin only that evening, but she couldn't stop herself. His lips worked on hers in ways she hadn't ever dreamed of. Her hands lost themselves in his hair and his hands gripped onto her waist tightly.
After what seemed like hours they pulled apart and Meg stumbled out of his arms, almost tripping over his blazer that must've fell off of her shoulders.
He was looking at her, breathing heavily and his hair was a complete mess, his shirt all creased from where she had grabbed it.
The realisation of what she had done hit her and she felt like crying.
"I'm sorry; I don't know why I did it...I just-
Meg didn't listen to what he was saying but pushed past him straight to the staircase, ignoring Albus who was now calling for her, saying her name over and over.
She didn't listen, but took her heels off and ran all the way up to the top, she didn't care if Albus was following her, she'd get to the top before him anyway; she had done cross country for 5 years.
Once she got to their room she tried opening the door but let out a sob as she remembered Gavin had the key and her wand was inside. Defeated, she turned around and slide down the door and put her head in her hands, her heels somewhere on the stairs where she had dropped and cried silently, feeling utterly hopeless.
Uh-oh. Tut tut. Naughty Meg.

The Road from Coorain
updated 2.10.2004
I enjoy Masterpiece Theatre very much and look forward to every show, even the re-runs. I really enjoyed The Road from Coorain. The movie just pulled me in. I could almost feel what Jill felt for everything around her; it was almost like I was living there then.
Syl H.
Conway, SC
Thank you for adapting the first of three autobiographical books by Jill Ker Conway. The Road from Coorain covers her life from her childhood to her acceptance for graduate study at Harvard University. I remember that there was a huge fuss over this book when it was first published in the late 1980s, but for some unknown reason, I never read it until I saw the story televised on Masterpiece Theatre. Now I wish that I had read it sooner. She is truly a remarkable woman. She is an intelligent, resourceful, visionary who also understands the value of the past, and how and what we can learn from it. As an alumna of Smith College, I wish that I had had an opportunity to know her better. My first year at Smith was her last year as president, so she was not teaching any courses. Smith was so very fortunate to have her!

Since Masterpiece Theatre has moved to Monday nights, my schedule doesn't allow me to watch it as often. I happened to be up late Sunday night and caught the repeat of The Road from Coorain. This was a truly engrossing story; I now feel compelled to read the book. Thanks.

After watching The Road from Coorain Monday night, I had this weird sensation that it was different from the book. So I reread the book and in it I do not find that she had an affair with a married man or that her mother said, "He had 'married' written all over him." Was Jill Ker Conway consulted on this version of her story? Also, the portrayal of her mother is certainly a theme in both the book and the film -- and her lack of sympathy when her mother takes her on two quite expensive trips (in the book), to Ceylon and then to Europe, makes me wonder. Maybe this is the result of conflicts which I had establishing independence from my mother, but writing a memoir in your 50s or even 60s would make you think there would be some sympathy for what had happened to her mother.

The pace was so sloooow, the editing choppy, continuity wanting. If I hadn't read The Road from Coorain I would have started to surf the channels. I don't think the movie stimulated me to read the book, and yet Jill Ker Conway's story is most interesting and engaging. The director needs more skill in filmmaking. What a missed opportunity.

I have read over half of the coming-of-age books that are listed at Masterpiece Theatre Online, and heard of some of the others. This is an excellent list. The book I would like to add to the list is Speak to the Earth: Wanderings and Reflections Among Elephants and Mountains by Vivienne de Watteville. She is an Englishwoman who goes on safari with her father in Africa, in the same era as Beryl Markham. Her story is uniquely powerful. I highly recommend it.

I was so touched by The Road from Coorain. It was a beautiful and haunting account of Dr. Conway's life, and the cinematography and story line were so well done. Bravo to the cast of actors who portrayed this amazing woman and her family. I am eager to read more of Dr. Conway's work, and learn more of her philanthropic endeavors.

I enjoyed The Road from Coorain, and will now read the book that I have had for years but not gotten around to read. I do want to suggest another Australian coming-of-age memoir that I have read (and taught at the college level), which tells a very different story about a girl growing up in Australia. The title is My Place, by Sally Morgan, an aboriginal.
Teaching these two memoirs of growing up in Australia should prove quite fruitful.
