A few weeks ago we heard the exciting rumor that the Spice Girls may be reuniting this year. It was first suggested that it would be for the London Olympics, then Melanie Brown suggested that the much anticipated reunion would be as a part of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The news spread like wildfire and caused MUCH excitement. Both events are a big deal for the U.K. and the Spice Girls are a beloved British pop act, so even though the news was never confirmed it was feasible and believeable and oh so, wonderful. Today the hope has been crushed though as Victoria Beckham has confirmed a proposed Spice Girls reunion this year "isn't going to happen" because the singers are too busy.
When we first heard the reports of a Spice reunion here at Pink we all celebrated because there has been so much talk over the years, and this year actually felt like it could be the year. Great Britain is going to be on view for the whole world during the London Olympics in a few months and it would be the perfect opportunity for the Spice Girls to reunite. Then there was the update about the Queen's Jubilee party, which felt like another great idea for a Spice reunion. We knew then though not to hold our breath, and sadly, today Vic's update has brought it all back crashing down. She revealed that the Spice Girls were in fact approached to play at the Jubilee gig alongside other loved English stars including Paul McCartney and Elton John, but they were unable to accept. Why???
She tells Britain's Sunday Mirror, "The thing with the Spice Girls is it was so flattering to be asked to do the Jubilee. But we have lots on our plates and we are all so focused on the end of the year and Viva Forever, the musical. The Jubilee isn't going to happen. But the musical is going to be really great and we're focusing on that."
Ok, so now we can unhold our breath and uncross our fingers and toes because it has pretty much been confirmed that the Spice Girls reunion is not on the cards for this year. Still…there is a part of me that is wondering whether this is a tactic to get us by surprise when the girls perform at the London Olympic Opening Ceremony. It just makes so much sense in my mind because they are a global pop icon that represent British culture from the 90's. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up again though. This has definitely not been confirmed and is just my own prediction. The other glimpse of hope to look forward to is the musical Vic talks about. Back last year we first heard about the news of a Spice Girls musical, now we know that it is still happening…
'Viva Forever' (the name of the Spice Girls musical) explores themes such as friendship and womanhood and has brought on board some top people. They have Absolutely Fabulous star Jennifer Saunders involved as the writer and Mamma Mia! producer Judy Cramer as executive producer. The director of the musical is also set to be Marianne Elliot who is a very celebrated British Director, who recently received many awards for her play, War Horse. This is definitely something to get excited about!0

Five jersey numbers have been retired to honor seven players as three Wolverines -- the Wistert brothers -- each wore number 11. Six of the players are linemen and all were two-way players.
Gerald Ford -- No. 48
Former U.S. President Gerald R. Ford is not only one of Michigan's most famous and important graduates, but he is also one of the University's great student-athletes. On Oct. 8, 1994, Michigan retired his jersey number 48 during halftime of the Wolverines' game against Michigan State. Though Ford's football accomplishments may pale in comparison with his political achievements, the same would be said for any former President of the United States. While at Michigan, Ford earned three varsity letters from 1932-34 and was named Michigan Most Valuable Player his senior year as a starting center. On Jan. 1, 1935, Ford played on the East Team in the Shrine Crippled Children's Hospital game in San Francisco. In 1935, he played in the all-star game against the World Champion Chicago Bears following his standout senior season.
Ford, a 1935 Michigan graduate, received his law degree from Yale in 1941 while also serving as an assistant football coach there. He went on to serve in the Navy for four years of active duty and returned home in 1946 with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
On Jan. 3, 1949 Ford was sworn into Congress. The Grand Rapids native, also a member of the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, was known as a "congressman's congressman," and was elected as the minority leader of the House of Representatives in 1965. He would later be named Vice President, and then President of the United States in 1974.
Bennie Oosterbaan -- No. 47
Francis, Albert and Alvin Wistert -- No. 11
Francis, a three-year letterwinner (1931, '32, '33) was the first of the three brothers to earn All-America honors at Michigan. "Whitey"was a part of three consecutive Big Ten football Championships, including back-to-back National Championships while at U-M. In addition to football, he also earned three letters in baseball and was selected as the Big Ten most valuable player in baseball in 1934. He played professional baseball for Cincinnati and assisted on the Wolverine grid staff in 1936 before entering the practice of law.
Albert earned three letters from 1940-42, while earning the nickname "Ox." He was selected the Most Valuable Player for Michigan in 1942 and played in the 1943 East-West game. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth round of the 1943 NFL Draft and played nine years with the Eagles. He served as the team captain for the Eagles from 1946-50. He earned All-Pro honors in six of his nine seasons and his No. 70 was retired by the Eagles in 1952.
Alvin, the third of the Wistert brothers to play at Michigan, was one of the oldest men to play college football at age 32 after serving four years in the U.S. Marine Corps. His career was even more remarkable since he did not play high school athletics but worked as a salesman until World War II. He was determined; however, to follow his brothers' footsteps. After a year at Boston University, he entered Michigan to win a defensive berth in 1947, and then became an All-America tackle on the Wolverines' national championship teams in 1948 and 1949.
Tom Harmon -- No. 98
Ron Kramer -- No. 87

This past Tuesday, our fourth graders went to visit and learn about some great San Antonio historical places. Two of our 4th grade classes, Ms. Curry and Ms. Harmon, got to visit Mission San Jose and the Spanish Governor's Palace. They also got to see the City Council Bldg, San Fernando Cathedral, and the City Council Chambers. The other four classes went to the Alamo and Fort Sam Houston. It was a fun and educational day for all!

6:30 PM | Gaming: WHY THE %&*# IS THIS SO %&#ING IMPOSSIBLE?
A discussion about Web-based games that are intentionally way too hard. Panel features Bennett Foddy, creator of the single greatest game in history: QWOP, in which you painstakingly control the rubbery legs of a dim-witted track runner. [Potentially interesting]
8:30 PM | MemeFactory
I'll just quote the description of this one and you can try to figure out for yourself whether it's horseshit: "MemeFactory is three men with three projectors running three simultaneous PowerPoint presentations. MemeFactory is a tightly rehearsed and choreographed show describing and celebrating Internet culture. MemeFactory causes information sickness." [Answer: yeah, it's horseshit]
Saturday9:30 AM | Keynote: Supercuts
You know those videos where someone cuts together every single instance of a person saying "I'm not here to make friends" on a reality TV show? That's a supercut. It may be interesting to hear how the creators accomplish the extensive research required, but stay frosty: if it starts drifting into Supercuts as Important Art, get the hell out of there. [Pretty okay, I bet]
11 AM | Lolitics: Memes and Politics
Memes are totally important! Like, cause what's the Arab Spring but one big meme? Kony 2012! [It would be nothing short of a miracle if this were not horseshit]
11 AM | Drunk Vegan Black Metal Scanwich Chef
A panel about silly Internet cooking shows; could be amusing, if that's your thing. The notable omission of the Epic Mealtime dorks will make this much less appealing to the undesirable internet bacon bozo demographic, thankfully. [Go for it]
11 AM | Fangirl Culture
Every media property of even moderate popularity will inspire thousands of weirdoes to produce thousands of stories about — and drawings of — the main characters humping in every possible configuration. They take this pursuit incredibly seriously, so things could get heated; there may be spittle. [Highly recommended]
1:30 PM | The GIFs that Keep On GIFing
They're actually kinda right about this one: the animated GIF is an art form unique to the Internet, worthy of some kind of study. Carry on, ROFLCon; you finally got one. [Not horseshit, amazingly]
3 PM | Honey I Memed The Kids
Remember the YouTube clip of the little kid who got super high at the dentist and freaked out on the car ride home? Hear all about how his life is destroyed forever. [Horseshit]
3 PM | Adventures in Aca-Meme-ia
An exploration of the emerging field of scholarly meme research; i.e., ROFLCon trying to justify its own existence. Cool, now that we've cured cancer and written all the good novels, it's a totally worthwhile pursuit to get a PhD in lolcats. Fuck off. [Horseshit]

Even as ticket sales remained abysmally low, the Jagmohan Dalmiya-led Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has distributed 100 t-shirts with prayers for Sachin Tendulkar's 100th international century monogrammed on them among school children ahead of the India-West Indies second Test match beginning here on Monday.
The specially-designed shirts contain prayers reading "Let's Pray For The Century of Centuries at Eden" below Tendulkar's picture, CAB sources said Sunday..
However, despite Tendulkar being only a ton away from the threshold of the historic feat, the spectators so far have given the thumbs down to the match.
"Less than 1,000 tickets have been sold till Sunday," said a CAB official blaming the scheduling of the match for the lack of spectators interest. "There is not a single weekend or holiday during the match. How can people come?"
However, the CAB officials are hoping for a decent attendance during the Indian innings, specially the time when Tendulkar will be in the middle.
Eden, which earlier accommodated nearly 90,000 spectators, now has space for only 67,300 after the renovation carried out during the World Cup. Around 20,000 tickets have been earmarked for the public, 24,000 seats are for CAB members. The remaining 23,300 comprise complimentary passes.

Those NY Yankees You Never Heard Of
Kenneth Hogan loves the Yankees and knew that if he was to write a book about them it had to be unique, insightful and original. As a result, the Breezy Point author and retired firefighter penned his latest book about the Yankees from the perspective of players that never quite made it big and spent minimal time with the team.
However, he hoped these players would provide for the average person a sense of what it felt like to wear a Yankee uniform. These players all got a taste of something special just to have it taken right back from them.
In the book titled, "Batting 10th for the Yankees: Recollections of 30 Yankees You May Not Remember," Hogan interviewed 30 former Yankee players that donned the pinstripes during the 1940s through the championship years of the late 1990s and 2000.
One thing all these players had in common, regardless of the time era in which they played, was that their tenure with the Yankees was short and has faded from most people's memories just as fast as they were sent back to the minors.
"I came to realize how many great players there are that simply don't get a chance." Hogan said. "It's an honor to wear the pinstripes but for some I talked to it was a curse in some ways."
For example, a player such as Zeke Bella, who received 10 at bats over five games in September of 1957 for the Yankees. Bella spent 12 years in the minor league system, mostly in the Yankees organization. In each of those 12 years, however, he never once hit below a .300 batting average, a statistic good enough to qualify for most major league teams, just not for the Yankees.
The book, presented in question and answer format with player stats and photos, took Hogan more than two years to research and conduct interviews; something Hogan says wasn't always easy.
"Finding the players wasn't always easy. I started with an initial list of 60 players that was dwindled down to 30 when the book was complete," he said.
Using extensive research conducted prior to the interviews, Hogan wanted to tailor his questions specific to the particular player and his experiences. For a handful of guys who got just a brief taste of pinstripe glory, Hogan felt they all remained humble and grateful for the opportunity, even though it was brief, to play for the Yankees.
"Silence filled the phone line when speaking to several players," he said. "I could tell some of them began to choke up when asked what it was like to put on a Yankee uniform."
Hogan's compilation can be purchased at The Gift Is Love, located on Beach 116 Street. This is Hogan's fourth published book and third about baseball.

Does social anxiety increase with age?
Campbell, Marilyn A. (1996) Does social anxiety increase with age? Australian Journal of Guidance and Counselling, 6(1), pp. 43-52.
|PDF (62kB)
One of the impressions in the literature on children's social anxiety is that young (preadolescent) children are not socially anxious and that social anxiety begins to manifest itself at adolescence and then increases with age. However there seems to be little direct research evidence to substantiate this claim. A question¬naire to assess feared outcomes in children and adolescents was therefore administered to 1415 children between the ages of 6 and 16 years. The results showed that worry about social threat did not increase with age and the content of the feared social outcomes also remained relatively constant over the age span.

Introduction to the Mortuary Customs of American Indians HTML version
Introduction to the Study of Medicine Practices among the
North American Indians
Introduction to the Study of Mythology among the North
American Indians
Introduction to the Study of Sociology among the North
American Indians
The mortuary customs of savage or barbaric people have a deep
significance from the fact that in them are revealed much of the
philosophy of the people by whom they are practiced. Early beliefs
concerning the nature of human existence in life and after death
and the relations of the living to the dead are recorded in these
customs. The mystery concerning the future love for the departed
who were loved while here, reverence for the wise and good who
may after death be wiser and better, hatred and fear of those who
were enemies here and may have added powers of enmity in the
hereafter—all these and like considerations have led in every tribe
to a body of customs of exceeding interest as revealing the
opinions, the philosophy of the people themselves.
In these customs, also are recorded evidences of the social
condition of the people, the affection in which friends and kindred
are held, the very beginnings of altruism in primitive life.
In like manner these customs constitute a record of the moral
condition of the people, as in many ways they exhibit the ethic
standards by which conduct in human life is judged. For such
reasons the study of mortuary customs is of profound interest to
the anthropologist.
It is hoped that by this method of research the observations of
many men may be brought together and placed on permanent
record, and that the body of material may be sufficient, by a careful
comparative study, to warrant some general discussion concerning

Red Sox added players who embraced Boston -- and winning
There was plenty that went into turning the Red Sox from a 93-loss team to one that has now advanced to the World Series. But adding players who embraced winning didn't hurt.
BOSTON -- The remake of the Boston Red Sox is a story that has already been told over and over, a story that will live on for years around here if the Red Sox can do to the Cardinals in the World Series what they just did to the Tigers in the American League Championship Series.
The remake was about reallocating money, about changing personalities, about finding players who could thrive in the unique baseball environment the Red Sox exist in.
But as they were looking for players who would "embrace the challenge here," as manager John Farrell put it this week, did the Red Sox also end up with a group of players who simply embraced winning?
It's hard to say, but as Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino hit three of the biggest home runs in the ALCS, it was easy to think that maybe they did.
The Red Sox had been gone from the World Series long enough that only four players remain from the group that played the Rockies in 2007. They'd been gone from the playoffs long enough that only five players on the current roster had ever played in a postseason game for the Red Sox before this month.
Ten of them played on playoff teams elsewhere. Victorino won a World Series ring with the Phillies. Napoli went to the ALCS with the Angels and to the World Series with the Rangers, getting big hits along the way. John Lackey , who wasn't part of the winter makeover but was returning after Tommy John surgery, was a Game 7 World Series winner with the Angels.
There's no real way to know how much all of that helped this year, or how much any of it will help this week. The 2012 Red Sox were an outright disaster, and their roster featured all kinds of stars from winning teams, from Josh Beckett to Cody Ross to Carl Crawford to Kevin Youkilis .
Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez flopped in Boston, but were vital parts of a winning team this year with the Dodgers (even though they fell just short of a World Series return to Fenway).
For whatever reason, what they brought didn't translate with the Red Sox, at least not last year.
What Napoli and Victorino brought has translated. The same goes for Jonny Gomes and Stephen Drew and David Ross and ALCS MVP Koji Uehara .
All were part of winning teams elsewhere. All have now played a significant part in winning here.
The culture of the Red Sox clubhouse still revolves around Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz , but there's a group here now that goes along with it.
It doesn't take long to realize it. John McDonald sensed it soon after he came to the Red Sox in an Aug. 31 trade with the Phillies.
"You get here and you realize you can't come to the ballpark early enough to get ready to win," McDonald said. "It's all about winning, preparing to win, going out there to win. It's fun to see a bunch of guys with the same goal.
"You don't see it every year."
McDonald has been with the Red Sox for just six weeks, but he's been in the big leagues for 15 years. And as a guy who grew up in Connecticut and still spends his winters in New England, he has long followed what goes on with this team.
He watched the Red Sox remake themselves, and when his friends at home Scituate, Mass., would ask what he thought of the Sox, his answer would be, "Who wouldn't want to play for that team?"
He meant no disrespect for the Diamondbacks, the team he began spring training with, or the Pirates, Indians or Phillies, the other three spots he passed through this season before landing with the Red Sox. He simply meant that with the changes in Boston, the Red Sox clubhouse was once again a welcoming spot for players whose main interest is winning.
A lot of that comes from Pedroia.
"All he wants to do is win," McDonald said. "You ask him, 'What do you want to do tonight?' and he just says, 'I want to beat their butts.'"
He says it, and he proves it, and the remade Red Sox have proven it, too.
How much of that is because the remake brought in so many players who won elsewhere?
There's no way to know for sure. But it couldn't have hurt.

Guest Testimonial – African Dream Safaris
We returned from our Africa dream safari two weeks ago in May 2012 and we are still smiling from ear to ear and have goose bumps to prove it! The life changing experience we had from the time we landed in Kilimanjaro, to the day we took off can never be equaled. The whole trip took us a year to plan and execute thanks to the professionalism and depth of knowledge shown by our tour operator Lynn.
After a wonderful evening of wining and dining at the lovely Mount Meru Hotel, the next morning we were flown into the Serengeti in an exciting one hour flight over vast tracts of open plains and game which makes Serengeti so enticing. As soon as we landed we were greeted by our very pleasant guide Claude Shitengle who escorted us to our range rover and off we went tracking and spotting all kinds of game during the day.
One must remember that in Serengeti the game doesn't necessarily come to you, but you go in search of the Big 5. And that's where the ability of your guide to spot wildlife comes in very handy. Claude was the best spotter if we ever saw one and could spot a leopard in a tree almost 1000 feet away. If that wasn't enough he had tremendous patience and took endless uncharted tracks and detours to find us game we couldn't have seen otherwise. Our next few days we were able to see all the Big 5 in huge numbers. Thank you Cluade! The hot air balloon was great too, though expensive!
We know that ADS has little control over Picnic lunches. Sadly the quality was not the greatest and a lot of food goes to waste. Folks at various picnic sites would either throw their half-eaten lunches or give them away. People are not looking for anything fancy for an afternoon lunch, but please no jaw breaking chicken! We would suggest that the caterer be advised to keep picnic lunches simple . For example, Tuna mayo or an egg salad sandwiches with some fruit would do just fine to cater to the American palates!
A piece of advice. Everyone wanting to travel to Africa, must travel light and carry a "carry on" bag, otherwise your checked baggage has a good chance of being lost, as ours was. Oversized duffle bags won't do and won't be allowed, as ours was not. On the other hand, oversized bags which fitted into KLM volume checker were allowed! Makes no sense!
In the end we took over a 1000 pics. So all said and done a great trip thanks mainly to our Trip advisor Lynn who was with us right from planning the trip over a year ago and countless hours she spent with us. One great advice Lynn gave us was to carry lots of one dollar denominations, which came in so handy for tips, even though we ran out of dollar bills towards the end. Thank you Lynn from the bottom of our hearts!
The hospitality of ADS ground staff throughout our stay was top notch right to the end. A special thank you also goes to our guide Claude, with whom we made a special bond. Thank you Claude and hope to see you again some day.
Last but not the least, though animals are a big part of why tourists visit Serengeti, in the end it is the kind and friendly people of Tanzania who make the difference. So a big Asante Sana to the people of Tanzania.

First time stopping at this KOA. A few miles off I-95 but not bad. Very friendly and quick registration. Well stocked store. We were led to our site. Site was level, easy hookups . Will return when in the area. Close to Washington DC.
Date of Stay: March, 2015
This park is in a great location for easy on /off from I-95 . Entire park could sure some TLC from office to campground. Doesn't look like the owners are putting anything back into the park. Office stuff was very good getting us registered and to our site . Site was level, could never get cable to work. Looks like there are a lot of people staying here full time, the rig next to ours was had not been moved for years. Some sites had older trailers or Motorhomes with a lot of junk around them. Would use again for an overnight stay.
Date of Stay: March, 2015
Easy on and off from I-95. Office staff not overly friendly. Narrow roads, some of the full time residents take up a lot of room. All hookups were well located. Site was not clean; seems camper before us washed their rig or toad and left mud all over site. Our site had a light pole at the front left hand corner of site which made it hard to get out of site because large rig across street. Airport noise from early morning to late at night. Will only return if nothing else available in area.
Date of Stay: January, 2015
Once again great over night stop. Check in was quick and easy. Site was wide and easy to get into and out. Would have rated it a 10 except for the muddy area around electric box , cable and water hookup.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
Stayed five nights for Telephone Pioneer Family Campers International Rally. Facilities were great for Rally. When we arrived they were having a dog show . Park big enough to not be bothered by barking dogs. Staff was friendly . Park close to historic Amana Colonies. Great restaurants and wineries in town of Amana. Sewer and electric hookups are not set up the greatest; this is why park not rated higher.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
Very nice park. Owners very friendly and helpful about things to do and places to dine in area. Short trip to home of TV show American Pickers in LeClaire, IA. Owner has a very large interesting pin collection. Will return when in the area again.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
KOA should been ashamed to have their name on this campground. Understaffed. Had one young lady running office, filling propane and everything else. Campground was a muddy mess. Sites not level , could not get level even with jacks and blocks. Will not return.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
One of the best campgrounds we stay in across the country. From the staff in front office to the grounds crew. Very easy check in. Grounds and buildings always clean. Close to area attractions. Will return here when ever in the area.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
Just needs some TLC on facilities. Store well stocked. Sites close together. Slide was only two feet from next site's awning. Looks like some of guest are living here. No cell service. Wi-Fi was weak at best. Will not return
Date of Stay: September, 2014
Would have rated it a 10 if they had cable. We were looking for a stopover spot; great find. Very clean and well kept grounds. Will return here. Owner was friendly and helpful.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
This a great family run campground. From the time you stop in the office to register to the time you leave you can be sure that the owners will be there for your every need or to take care of any problems you may have. From their well stocked store, great swimming pools and clean bath and showers. Weather you are one of the seasonal residents or just there for a week or two rest assure you will have good time. This was the host site for the Annual King Nummy Trail Horseshoe Tour. for 20 years. All of the campers and participants want to Say THANK YOU to all those who helped for your support of this event each year. See you all soon. From the Back Yard Boys
Date of Stay: June, 2014
Let me start out by saying we love this campground. Park is always clean, staff friendly and helpful. Close to everything in the Cape May, Wildwood area. But the office is always a confused mess. Seem to be too many people running the office and computer system seem very confusing for staff to use. I know there are new owners and computer system but this has been going on for years. This is the only reason they are not getting a 10 rating. Hopefully when we return next year all of the staff will have been trained on new system. Also seasonal campers and employees need to learn to slow down on main road in and out of campground. They seem to think they are still on GSP or Rt. 47.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Very nice campground. No problem from making reservations to check in. Office staff was very friendly. Park was very clean; trash pickup four times a day. Quiet at night. Close to National Park .

Hello ARES Pilots! With today's patch, we've re-introduced four gliders to Firefall: two to the Red Bean store and two to the prize pool for the Red Bean Reward Tokens. Long time players will recognize all four of these gliders, and some may even already own them, but don't worry! We've not only made them available again, we've also updated them by giving them attributes that improve the effectiveness of every glider you use. These changes are retroactive for anyone who already owns these glider pads.
As a reminder, the two attributes that glider pads can have are:
- Quickened: For every different glider pad you own with the "Quickened" attribute, your shared glider pad cooldown is reduced by 3 seconds.
- Lofty: For every different glider pad you own with the "Lofty" attribute, the height to which you are boosted into the air on activating any glider pad is slightly increased.
Gliders added to the Red Bean Store

In addition to the four gliders mentioned above, we have also updated two more previously available glider pads, though these are not yet available again at this time. These two gliders are the Topaz Glider Pad (which is now "Quickened") and the Sunrise Glider Pad (which is now "Lofty"). These changes are retroactive for those who already own those glider pads.
If you haven't already, make sure to check out the Patch Notes for today's patch, as there are a huge amount of bug fixes and general improvements included. We certainly aren't going to stop there though, so make sure to keep on reporting any bugs you come across and leave us your feedback about your experiences in addition to sharing your ideas for what you'd like to see in future updates on our forums. We hope you enjoy these gliders, and we'll see you in game!

The 10 Most Scandalous Hollywood Love Triangles!
From young starlets and their straying boyfriends to longtime wives and their cheating husbands, love triangles are no strangers to Hollywood. Which forbidden romance do YOU think is most scandalous?
Eva Longoria-Parker, Tony Parker and NBA wife Erin Barry are all part of the latest sordid love triangle to make headlines, but the rest of the year has been chalk-full of scandalous affairs as well. As inappropriate and hurtful as affairs can be, they are also fascinating and often lead to even happier couples. Which Hollywood love triangle touched YOU the most?
First there was Tiger Woods, Elin Nordegren and the sexy mistress, Rachel Uchitel (not to mention his 15+ other alleged girls). Then, only weeks after winning the Oscar for Best Actress, Sandra Bullock was shocked to find out with the rest of the world her hubby of five years, Jesse James, was cheating on her with a tattooed stripper named Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
Another major love triangle rocked the teen world in Summer 2010. Demi Lovato and her best friend, Joe Jonas started dating after months of build up, but the relationship quickly deteriorated and Joe quickly fell in love with Twilight actress, Ashley Greene. Making matters that much worse, Demi, 18, checked into treatment in the fall, citing "emotional problems." Yikes!
Love triangles have rocked Hollywood for years! Remember Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie? What about Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon and Abbie Cornish? Check out the 10 most shocking and scandalous recent romances in Tinsel Town and tell us, which one rocked YOUR world the most?

Hunter 320/326 for liveaboard/coastal cruising
Will be retiring Aug of 2006, planning on buying a boat for liveaboard/costal and inland cruising. Currently have an H26 which I enjoy and am leaning towards a 320 or 326 when I move up. Will be singlehanding and wonder if anyone has an opinion on the suitablity of the Hunter. Would eventually like to venture into the Caribbean, as my skills grow.
Hunter 320/326 for liveaboard/coastal cruising
You might also try posting your question over on www.hunterowners.com I''m sure you''ll get lots of feedback there if you don''t here!
My Suggestion Is To Take Coast Guard Courses In Navigation And Safety And Be Sure You Know How To Handle That Hunter Of Yours The Best Possible. Also Be Careful As To What Time Of The Year You Plan Your Trip. I Was Caught In A Hurricane Off Of California Back In The Late 80's In My Catalina 25, Believe Me You Don't Wsant That. Going Through 20 Foot Round Swells And Winds Approaching 80 Knotts, Like I Was, Is Not The Place To Be. Your Hunter Is A Safe Boat. Just Be Smart. Good Luck.
First, you probably should be checking the dates of posts before replying, as you've been reviving threads that have been dead for over six years. Second, PBzeer didn't get the Hunter AFAIK, and is currently cruising in an Ontario 32 IIRC.
Third, is there any reason you are capitalizing every word in your post? Did you not learn how to type properly??? Or is English not your native language—or one you understand properly???
I'd highly recommend you read the POST in my signature to help you get the most out of your time here. It has tips on searching sailnet, writing a good post, etc..
Sailingdog -
Thanks for the corrections. Just joined and was trying to be an active member. Will be more careful in the future. Getting back into sailing in accouple of months after being away for quite sometime. Looking forward for sure. I am looking at the Catalina 36. Give me your opinion I would be curious. Thank you.
you're welcome.... btw, there are some good Catalina resources on here. Keep us posted on your boat search.

Princess of tack to wed her pop prince
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
Peter Andre and Jordan push the boundaries of bad taste.
Not since the wedding of David Beckham and Posh Spice has public good taste been under such dire threat.
Australian pop star Peter Andre's wedding to the English glamour model Jordan, due to take place early today Australian time, has even the most hardened D-listers rushing for their previous engagements.
"Oh, God, no," moaned English soapie star and former wild child Patsy Kensit when asked if she was intending to go along.
"I mean, good luck to her, but I like to spend my weekends with my children."
Jordan, born Katie Price, boasted on the occasion of her engagement to the Australian singer that her wedding would be bigger and more extravagant than the Beckham event.
Lavishly scrolled invitations from which pink love hearts tumbled have duly been delivered to countless prominent Britons.
A strong rumour gained currency among the English press that Miss Price's wedding cake was to be a replica of her own 32FF breasts.
And that her dress train would be a record-breaking 775 metres long, to be fitted for convenience after the bride's arrival in a carriage pulled by six miniature white ponies.
The pair - who met on a British reality TV program - already have an infant son called Junior.
The couple's representatives would not comment on whether there would be a sizeable Australian contingent of guests at the wedding.

STEM generally supports broadening the study of engineering within each of the other subjects, and beginning engineering at younger grades, even elementary school. It also brings STEM education to all students rather than only the gifted programs.
Its Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy developed a list of 10 actions and the top 3 are listed here:
- Increase America's talent pool by improving K–12 science and mathematics education
- Strengthen the skills of teachers through additional training in science, mathematics and technology
- Enlarge the pipeline of students prepared to enter college and graduate with STEM degrees
Here are a few more examples of Laser Pegs S.T.E.M. (Science Technology Engineering Math) Benefits
- Enhances Creative Reasoning
- Improves Hand/Eye Coordination
- Promotes Cognitive Development
- Encourages Communication and Teamwork
- Inspires Creativity and Model Building
- Develops Math and Reasoning Skills
- Education Educational Kits learning S.T.E.M. STEM
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration also has implemented programs and curricula to advance STEM education in order to replenish the pool of scientists, engineers and mathematicians who will lead space exploration in the 21st century.
After-school STEM programs children learn what the most promising practices are and how to implement them to increase the chance of student success.
Continuing S.T.E.M. education has expanded to the post-secondary level through masters programs. Laser Pegs enhance, encourage and compliment all STEM Programs.

Medical Definition of Boomeritis
Boomeritis: Injuries to older amateur athletes, especially those who are part of the Baby Boom, born when there was a marked rise in the birthrate following the end of World War II in 1945. As the Baby Boom generation began to turn 40 and 50, there was a veritable explosion of bone and joint aches, pains, injuries, and ailments -- boomeritis. The term was coined by Dr. Nicholas A DiNubile, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, in 1999.
To avoid boomeritis, measures include balancing fitness routines, cross-training to alleviate stress by not using the same muscles repeatedly, and preparing oneself properly for a sporting event.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Iranian ship held in Sri Lanka flees country's waters
COLOMBO (Reuters) - An Iranian-flagged cargo ship has fled from waters around Sri Lanka after weeks of detention by the island nation's navy acting on a court order obtained by Germany's DVB Bank SE, officials and a lawyer acting for the bank said on Thursday.
The Sri Lankan navy last week fired warning shots to prevent the MV Amina from leaving, but said that late on Wednesday the vessel made its way in rough sea out of the country's waters.
"If the ship is beyond 12 nautical miles from our shores, then we can't do anything according to U.N. laws unless the ship has committed any crimes in our country," Sri Lankan Navy spokesman Kosala Warnakulasuriya said.
"We tried to communicate and asked her to stop, but without responding to anything, she had gone."
The vessel is managed by Tehran-based Rahbaran Omid Darya Ship Management, public shipping registers and ship tracking data showed. The European Union and United States have said the firm is a front for the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), which has faced Western sanctions for some years.
The West has accused IRISL, Iran's biggest cargo carrier, of transporting weapons, a charge it denies.
IRISL officials told Reuters the ship was owned by a private company and could not discuss the matter. Rahbaran Omid Darya Ship Management could not be immediately reached for comment.
The MV Amina was seized in December after DVB Bank obtained an order on December 12 from the Colombo High Court to hold the vessel after the owners defaulted on a payment. Court documents showed that DVB Bank sought to recover millions of dollars.
A DVB Bank spokesman did not immediately comment on the issue. Continued...

This is my 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500; her name is Black Betty.
It originally started out when I bought the first can of VHT Red Brake Caliper Paint.
(this is also right when I bought the 2007 Silverado LTZ wheels that are currently on my truck)
When I bought these wheels, I decided to paint the brake calipers red. This means extra horsepower
So, I painted the brake calipers, and I still had some paint left over from the one can I purchased.
This is when I chose to paint the bowtie that same bright red (with a little twist)
The twist was... I had bought myself a stencil... a skull stencil (always liked the way skulls looked)
So I prepped the bowtie by sanding it with 200 grit, 1000 grit, 2000 grit,
and then wiping it off with a tach cloth.
Then I sprayed a light/medium first coat. Just to get a starting point.
About 10-15 minutes later (in the sun) I sprayed a heavy, but not too heavy, and final coat.
After it dried, I then layed down my stencil and sprayed on
a thick coat of Rustoleum Protective Enamel Gloss Black.
It looked (and STILL looks) pretty damn sharp!
After a while, I had the urge to paint my engine cover... So, here we go.
I removed my engine cover, washed it off, and prepped it in no other way..
Using the same kind of Rustoleum Gloss Black paint, I sprayed one even coat over the engine cover.
Then I taped up the vertical strips and the outter pieces of the Vortec symbol.
(i tried taping up the Vortec letters, but that didnt work.. so, i said to hell with it..)
I then sprayed over it all with the brake caliper paint and then removed the tape.
As it started getting a little darker,
I layed the stencil on each side of the engine cover
and sprayed the same as I did the bowtie, but also fading the outter edges.
Like I said, it was starting to get dark, so the following two pictures aren't too great..
Now a couple pics of it installed..
Along with the engine cover, I also painted the "Electrical Center" cover.
One step further, I decided to paint the radiator cover (i think it's called?)
Here are a few pics of everything installed and lookin good under the hood.
And a closeup of Vortec.
Pretty soon, I will be painting a little bit more from under the hood. Stay tuned.
Any feedback will be great. Hope everyone likes this so called "writeup"

Hey all how are you?
My name is Phil. I am a final year veterinary student studying in Gatton, QLD (Australia). I am interested in lots of different things and recently have been considering bee keeping.
I've always found bees very interesting and if I can get some honey from the deal all the better!
Have joined this forum to read up on the information I will need to know and hopefully learn plenty from you all. Going to a bee keeping supply store nearby tomorrow to buy a book or two and pick their brains.
Anyway I will probably remain quiet and read all the info here, looking forward to learning lots.

Francisco stops Nunez in 5
By Dennis Principe
Filipino super flyweight prospect Drian Francisco scored a 5th round TKO stoppage win over WBC#1 and WBA#2 Ricardo Nunez of Panama Saturday night at the Ynares Sports Center in Pasig City, Philippines.
The WBA #3 Francisco instantly stepped up the attack as soon as the opening bell sounded and dropped the seemingly ham-fisted Nunez with a wild left halfway thru the opening round. Nunez recovered from the first knockdown but was floored for the second time with another wild left.
The Panamanian made it through the first round but was already bleeding from the mouth, a testament to Francisco's punching power despite an apparent awkward style.
A still dazed Nunez was able to avoid most of Francisco's wild punches as the Panamanian tried to work on the body of the Filipino the next two rounds.
Surprisingly, Francisco became tentative with his punches which the Filipino later on admitted during the post-fight presser that it was due to an elbow from the Panamanian which hit his left arm.
Two more trips to the canvass in the fatal fifth round finally forced referee Bruce McTavish to wave off the fight and declare Francisco winner at 2:52.
The win improves Francisco's record to 19-0-1 with 15 KO's while Nunez drops to 17-2, 16 KO's. Francisco's manager Elemer Anuran announced they will be chasing the winner of the WBA regular super flyweight title fight between Japanese Nobuo Nashiro and Mexican Hugo Cazares set on May 8.

I went ahead and scheduled my car to be looked at for a few issues, but you might raise a good point about the highway.
It has been cold here, and I never get on the highway to get to work...only stop and go traffic for about 7 miles. I specifically remember the focus being much warmer when I was on the highway for a trip the other day, so I will intentionally take it on the highway this weekend and see if that makes any difference.
I am not opposed to giving a car time to warm up, but I am not sure what good it does me if it takes it longer to heat up than I will be in the car. Normally 30 minutes is about as long as I am ever in any car I drive (most of the places I go are really close to me). Maybe my old car spoiled me? Normally within 8 minutes of turning her on she was pushing out fire.
In any case, it can't hurt to have it looked at with the other "agenda" items on Tuesday.

Routt County Local committees for the Republican and Democratic parties all over Colorado will be conducting precinct caucuses Tuesday.
Republicans and Democrats in Routt County will participate separate precinct caucuses to elect delegates to their respective county assemblies. Also at the caucuses, people can discuss issues with their neighbors and ask that they be brought forward to the county assemblies.
The Routt County commissioner elections are affected by the caucuses and assemblies. The county assemblies are critical to those candidates seeking to place their names directly on the ballot for the Aug. 8 primary election. In order for that to happen, they must get a minimum of 30 percent of the delegates' votes at the assembly. Other candidates still have the opportunity to petition their way onto the primary ballot.
Incumbent Republican Nancy Stahoviak of Oak Creek has announced her intention to run again in District 1. Democrat Doug Monger is bidding to fill the District 2 seat being vacated by Ben Beall.
At the state level, Rep. Jack Taylor and Jim Barrows are competing for the Republican nomination for the Senate District 8 seat. Paul Ohri is running unopposed on the Democratic side.
Clark area rancher and former Steamboat Springs School Board President Jay Fetcher is seeking the state House District 56 seat being vacated by Taylor. On the Republican side, Bill Haight of rural Steamboat and Al White of Winter Park, are seeking the 56th seat.

Nedcoffee Sees Vietnam's Coffee Production at 25 Million Bags
Coffee production in Vietnam, the world's largest producer of robusta beans, will be about 25 million bags in the 2011-12 season ending in September, according to Dutch trader Nedcoffee BV.
Output in the previous season was 19.5 million bags, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates. Vietnam has exported about 1.24 million tons, or 20.64 million bags, from the start of the season in October through to July, said the trader, which has offices in the Southeast Asian nation. A bag of coffee weighs 60 kilograms (132 pounds).
Farmers in Vietnam are still holding back 2.4 percent of the 2011-12 crop, Nedcoffee said in a report e-mailed today. Coffee collectors, middlemen and private millers in the Central Highlands, the country's main growing region, are holding another 2 percent, according to the report.
In Indonesia, the third-biggest robusta grower, about 64 percent of the robusta crop in southern Sumatra, the main growing area, was harvested by the end of last week, the Amsterdam-based trader said.
About 87 percent of the beans gathered have been delivered to Bandar Lampung. Deliveries in the past four-week period totaled 47,000 tons, the highest for the period in four years, it said.

With the summer holidays almost here, parents' thoughts across the length and breadth of the UK are turning to how they can keep their offspring occupied through the weeks ahead. A chirpy musical based on Katharine Holabird and Helen Craig's wholesome dancing mouse would seem to do the job admirably.
Angelina Ballerina – The Mousical is on hand, and for the audience of rapt pre-schoolers it certainly went down a treat. (This is actually the second stage musical based on the character, following Angelina Ballerina – The Musical.)
The story follows the by-now-traditional tots-entertainment motif of the televised talent show. Camembert Academy, where Angelina studies alongside her best friend Alice, has been picked as the venue for an episode of Dancing with Mice, and Angelina and chums must put together a routine for the live audience. As tends to happen, the ballet-mad mouse allows her boundless confidence to get in the way of things, and despite her elevation to dance captain, Angelina finds she can't come up with a stupendous dance for herself, nor can she help her classmates through their fractious attempts to forge a routine.
The young cast really give it their all, socking over the trials and tribulations of the mouselings as they realise they must pool their ideas rather than scrap for supremacy. The only thing that put me off: the gender divide could have been a little less emphasised, as the girls are keen on butterflies and fairies, while the boys are into monsters and pirates.
Nevertheless, Joanna Gregory as Angelina proved a confident leader, with her female classmates, played by Sophie Summers, Katharine McNamara and Miracle Chance her effervescent companions. The two boys, played by Tyler Scott and Darren Burkett, were equally enthusiastic. And under the direction of Miranda Larson, with Isla Shaw's set design, the show is neatly put together, with the minimum of fuss.
Needless to say, Angelina's final dance routine brings down the house; a toe-tapping way to end an hour's fun for the kids. My four-year-old couldn't stop waving her Angelina cut-out in glee. Definitely worth a look.

Auckland is known as the 'City of Sails' and there are plenty of reasons to take to the water here - not least to explore the twin harbours, outlying islands and the clear waters of the Pacific Ocean.
The city itself spreads across a dynamic, volcanic landscape, best appreciated from prime vantage points such as historic One Tree Hill or the revolving restaurant atop the Sky Tower. The city also features architectural pleasures; exquisite colonial gingerbread houses and imposing government buildings set amongst glittering modern glass towers. Catching and refracting the light from the clear harbour waters the city appears to shimmer.
Around Auckland
Queen Street, Auckland's golden mile, is the major entertainment and shopping area, complemented by Parnell and Ponsonby, leafy inner suburbs with lovingly restored clapboard villas, vibrant and 'happening' districts known for galleries, boutiques and al fresco cafés
Auckland is likely to be your gateway to New Zealand, and is certainly worth a couple of days to experience the cosmopolitan mix of the Polynesian world's largest city.
We can organise a number of activities and excursions in Auckland. Visits to the Maori Experience and Auckland Museum are highly recommended as an introduction to New Zealand, its history and Maori culture. A part of New Zealand's appeal is its welcoming, inclusive approach that transforms the travel experience.
Take its consistent success in the America's Cup: in New Zealand you don't just get to look at the boats from a distance, but can experience the thrill of sailing on one of the fastest full racing yachts, the NZL40. Continuing the nautical theme, Auckland also hosts the New Zealand Boat Show as well as a variety of other festivals and sporting events.
While busy markets and exclusive shops reward time spent in the city, the offshore islands and the many beaches of the Hibiscus Coast constantly tempt you to explore further.
