Pokemon Black Version 2 brings players back to the Unova Region two years after the events of Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version. There are many new areas to discover, and changes to familiar places for you to explore. One new area is Virbank City, home to Pokéstar Studios. Players will be able to visit Pokéstar Studios and star in their own movie with their favourite Pokémon. The movie a player creates premieres at the in-game theatre, where the audience gives it a rating. Movies are rated based on script choices and battle move sequences, and players can even create sequels to existing movies. There are many movie genres to choose from, including romantic comedy and horror.
Pokemon Black Version 2 also gives fans of the original games a chance to catch up with some familiar friends. In this game, Cheren and Bianca return two years after the events of Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version, and a lot has changed. Bianca is now the assistant to Professor Juniper, helping her with Pokémon research and Cheren is now a Gym Leader and a teacher at a school in Aspertia City - the starting location for this adventure.
In Pokemon Black Version 2 players will also be able to catch some of the Pokemon from outside the Unova region - such as Eevee, Riolu, Tyranitar, Arcanine and Mareep, right from the start of the game.

We took our dog there for a simple ear infection. They rushed us through and were told we needed to sign up for a pet wellness program because we bought a groupon. They give you no information and just rush you through.
When we got home and were able to read through the information we releaized the entire thing was one big scam and called an requested to cancel as we would never be going back. They overcharged us at the visit. There was an office visit fee and an exam fee. So you charge me to walk in the door then you charge me to touch the dog. That makes no sense.
To cancel they want additional money stating we received discounts, we received approx $10.00 in discounts and they are trying to charge us over $100.00 in cancelalation fees fro a program that was only signed up for an hour before requesting cancelation.
This Vet over charges, tries to scam money out of all of its customers, and has a horrbily rude staff.

Similar to a normal game of flip cup except teams of two compete. One player on each team gives their teammate a piggyback and then each team races to drink and flip. The teammate getting a piggyback must drink and flip their cup from their teammates back. Each round the slowest team is eliminated until the fastest team is left standing.

About Cornelius Van Alen Van Dyck, M.D.
Cornelius Van Alen Van Dyck, M.D. (August 13, 1818 – November 13, 1895) was an American missionary and translator of the Bible into Arabic.
He was born at Kinderhook, NY, and educated at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, from which he graduated as M.D. in 1839. In 1840 he was sent to Lebanon by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions as a medical missionary for the Dutch Reformed Church, and was stationed at Beirut, Abeih, Sidon, and Mount Tabor. He studied Arabic in Beirut under Butrus al-Bustani and Nasif al-Yaziji, both of whom later became famous Arab writers, and Yusuf al-Asir, with whom he would later collaborate in translating the Bible into Arabic. He married Julia Abbott, daughter of the former British consul-general in Beirut, in December 1842. In June 1843 they moved to 'Abeih, where he organized a secondary school for training evangelical ministers. Noting the scarcity of suitable teaching materials in Arabic, he proceeded to write Arabic textbooks on geography, navigation, natural history, and mathematics, which were long used in Syrian schools. He also studied theology and was ordained a minister by his fellow missionaries in 1846, shortly before the inauguration of the Abeih Seminary. In 1849 he was abruptly transferred from 'Abeih to Sidon, where he was expected to open a new mission station, preach, and practice medicine. Upon returning to Beirut in 1857, he began to work on the Arabic Bible. After completing the translation in 1865, he went to New York to supervise its printing, also teaching Hebrew for two years at Union Theological Seminary and studying ophthalmology.
On returning to Beirut, Van Dyck became a professor of pathology and internal medicine in the medical school of the newly flounded Syrian Protestant College, which later became the American University of Beirut. He also taught astronomy in its literary section, directed its observatory and meteorological station as well as the mission press, and edited its weekly journal al-Nashran. He wrote Arabic textbooks on chemistry, internal medicine, physical diagnosis, and astronomy, publishing some of them at his own expense. He translated al-Razi's ninth-century treatise on smallpox and measles, adding a critical commentary.[citation needed] Often called al-Hakim during his lifetime, Van Dyck had a large medical practice in addition to his academic duties.
He resigned from the Syrian Protestant College after the 1882 commencement address was censored by the college authorities for favoring Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. He stayed in Beirut, practicing at the Hospital of St. George and publishing more books in Arabic, including a translation of Lew Wallace's Ben Hur. In 1890 Syrians of all sects celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his coming to their country.[citation needed] He retired in 1893 and died in Beirut.
Van Dyck has long been respected by Arabs for his intimate knowledge of their history, culture, language, and proverbs, for his ability to work among Syrians without condescension, and especially for his contribution to the revival of Arabic literature in the nineteenth century.[citation needed] Modern scholars give more credit for this renaissance to the Egyptian government and to some of Van Dyck's Arab collaborators, but he published more than twenty Arabic textbooks, and his translation of the Bible was used by Arabic-speaking Protestants for a century.[citation needed] Rue Van Dyck is a street in Beirut that was named in his honor.
State Senator Henry H. Van Dyck (1809–1888) was his brother.

Age 77

PUTTING all your eggs in one basket is a cautionary proverb that seems not to translate into Lithuanian. If there is concern among Hearts supporters over the financial returns released by the club at the weekend – and, more specifically, over the accompanying warning of potential disaster from the firm who carried out the audit – it surely springs from recognition of the parallels between Tynecastle and Gretna.
Vladimir Romanov, the major shareholder and effective owner of Hearts, may control a parent company whose assets – last reported at around 440 million – exceed the personal wealth of Gretna's former patron, Brooks Mileson, but the principle of high dependency on a single source for economic viability, or even survival, still applies.
If there is a difference, it is that, while Mileson was a benefactor, aware from the start that his support of a now obsolescent football club would be an exercise in diminishing returns, Romanov is a self-declared profiteer, a businessman to whom the prospect of losing money is anathema.
The accountants might just as well have put a black border round a report to shareholders which confirmed that Hearts' debt at the end of the last financial year stood at 36.25 million and that, even more scarily, they had contrived losses of almost 12.5m, a figure one-and-a-quarter times their annual turnover of around 10m.
To put those last figures into perspective, it is the equivalent of Celtic – last reported turnover close to 80m – declaring a loss of almost 100m in a single year. It is hardly surprising that the auditors should reach the conclusion that Hearts, as an entity, cannot possibly sustain trading which also includes the revelation that the wage bill (almost 12.5m) comes to 125 per cent of turnover. The ratio recommended by financial analysts is an ideal of 50 per cent or less, and a maximum of 60 per cent.
These figures, as of July last year, do not include the 8m Hearts have received from Sunderland for the transfer of goalkeeper Craig Gordon or the 2m they expect when striker Roman Bednar's loan to West Bromwich Albion is made permanent at the end of the season. But the argument that this revenue will immediately reduce the debt by 10m does not allow for certain losses, and the possibility of accruing more debt, during the current year.
It has been a poor season on the field for Hearts, spending much of the time in the lower half of the Premier League, but, much more significantly, accruing no income from European football, having failed to qualify.
None of the seemingly harrowing aspects of the latest returns appears to be causing the slightest unease, far less panic, among Romanov and his aides at Tynecastle. Indeed, any reference to the financial condition of the club tends to be answered with the assurance that schemes are planned that will make Hearts the economic wonder of the age.
For supporters, however, the disconcerting feature of the optimism is that it is predicated on notional projections, none of which are entirely convincing. These include the re-construction of the main stand at a proposed cost of 51m, which will not only increase the stadium capacity to 23,000, but will incorporate high-earning facilities such as a hotel, offices, and corporate suites.
The unsoundest source of revenue regularly forwarded by the Tynecastle hierarchy is European football. Not only is this one the great uncertainties as an annual event, but, on those occasions when they have qualified, Hearts have not stayed long enough to generate significant returns.
There is talk, too, of a share issue next year which will all but wipe out the debt at a stroke. The new stock will not be offered to small shareholders, but will be taken up by the parent company, Ubig. Whether or not this transpires, the impression will be left of the financial 'black hole' to which colleague Stuart Bathgate referred on these pages yesterday exercising an ever-stronger gravitational pull.
To the layman, it seems that Hearts, year on year, become less saleable in the event of Romanov suddenly being overcome with the urge to leave. It is impossible to conceive of a buyer willing to assume the liabilities of a company unable to trade its way out of difficulties. Unless, of course, the Lithuanian decided to take a hit and sell for a feasible price.
Some may argue that the stadium itself is a 20m-plus asset, but to realise this in the cause of keeping the club alive would be to take the route recommended – and roundly condemned – by the former chairman, Chris Robinson. It would also, in all probability, be the kind of existence normally associated with a victim of irreparable brain damage.

Google Buys Music Streaming Service Songza
Music streaming startup Songza, which competes with Pandora Media (P), but also other outfits such as Spotify and the Beats Music venture that is being acquired by Apple (AAPL), this afternoon said it is being acquired by Google (GOOGL), without disclosing terms of the agreement.
Songza was backed by, among others, Metamorphic, a New York City-based venture capital firm that includes executives from Google and Facebook (FB) on its advisory board, but also, interestingly enough, from Spotify.
Update: Google confirmed via a post on its Google+ page that it has acquired the company, without disclosing terms of the deal.
Said the post, carrying no byline:
We aren't planning any immediate changes to Songza, so it will continue to work like usual for existing users. Over the coming months, we'll explore ways to bring what you love about Songza to Google Play Music. We'll also look for opportunities to bring their great work to the music experience on YouTube and other Google products.

Bellville Times
Althea (Gavin) Cuttino, 95, formerly of Bellville, passed away Thursday, Feb. 13, 2014, in Houston. She was born on Sept. 6, 1918, in Fall River, Mass., the daughter of Ned and Winn Gavin. Althea grew up in Fall River until the age of 12, and then she moved to Greensville, S.C. A city gal married a country boy, Herman Cuttino, on Nov. 6, 1937, at her parents' home. Althea and Herman resided in several cities, finally calling Miami, Fla. home for 17 years, before moving to the Houston area. In the late 1970's, they moved to Bellville and lived there until Herman passed away in 1986. A year after his death, she moved back to the Houston area to be close to family.

She provided Christmas for foster families in the Houston area. Althea was a loving and caring lady, who was hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. She loved teasing and being teased by others. A fiery, spunky and outgoing person, who loved a good party and her laughter, would fill the room. She enjoyed reading history and mystery novels and enjoyed the theater and fine arts. Althea was a wonderful cook and in her later years, she enjoyed eating at two of her favorite restaurants in Houston, Andreas and Marks.
Althea is survived by her children Elizabeth Martin of Spring, Texas, Ann Quiroz and her husband, David, of Spring, Texas, and Edward Cuttino and his wife, Carol, of Broomfield, Colorado; grandchildren Amy Wiley, Amanda Quiroz, Sarah Quiroz and Steven Cuttino; great grandchildren Gavin Cuttino, Aiden Cuttino and Emma Wiley.

Having grown up as an Air Force brat, I am accustomed to many hours in the car going from point A to point B. Dean, on the other hand, has no idea what he has gotten himself into by having me as a road trip buddy
Our general plan is for him to pick me up from the airport in Tallahassee when my plane lands tomorrow around 1600 and then start heading West and drive a few hours. On day 2, we are driving to Houston, Texas and staying the night there. From there we plan to drive to Del Rio, Texas - of course on the way we have to stop at the Taxidermist to pick up his deer, which I have taken the liberty to name "Bambi". There is nothing that a city girl looks more forward to than sharing the cab of a truck with a deer head! Our weekend will be spent in Del Rio, where we first met, with our friends and finishing up any remaining business that Dean has residing there. By Sunday, we will be stopping in New Mexico and getting into Phoenix early Monday afternoon!
No matter what happens, I know I will be making it to Phoenix! In case you did not know,I received my undergraduate degree from Arizona State University which is outside Phoenix, in Tempe. I often refer to Phoenix as "The Promise Land" because it is my favorite place in the world to be and I have so many great memories and friends there. I definitely think I am more excited for Dean to be in Phoenix than he is to be there! Hopefully he will make as many good memories as I have in Phoenix!
Well, I guess it's time I actually packed and get things together... Stay tuned for the adventures of Dean & Erin (and Bambi!)...Wish us luck!

The cast of Les Misérables have told how the movie was the most exhausting project they have worked on, thanks to the demands of director Tom Hooper.
Hooper, who won an Oscar for directing The King's Speech, broke the tradition of using a backing track while filming the musical and insisted that every take was sung live.
He was joined at the film's world premiere in Leicester Square by its stars Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Sacha Baron Cohen, Amanda Seyfried and Eddie Redmayne.
Crowe, 48, said: "It wasn't quite clear how challenging it was going to be at the beginning. It's very easy to say you're going to sing live every take, but then the actual reality of doing that and the discipline of doing that every day.
"Tom as a director is greedy and he will shoot and shoot and shoot. Every take was a full-length of the song."
Jackman, 44, said the experience was challenging "emotionally, physically and mentally."
Redmayne, 30, who plays revolutionary Marius, said Hooper's methods let the cast "react to each other" on camera, although "After 25 takes, my vocals were fairly caned."
Hathaway cropped her hair and lost two stone to play factory worker-turned-prostitute Fantine. The 30-year-old actor said: "It was very challenging to my vanity but as soon as it was done I was fine with it."
Hooper, 40, said the live singing in the movie was "the key to making this an emotional and intense experience and to bring all those people into the fold who are not sure a musical is for them."
Based on the Victor Hugo novel, Les Misérables unfolds against the backdrop of 19th century France as ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, played by Jackman, is hunted for decades by policeman Javert, played by Crowe, after breaking parole.
The West End production has run for 27 years and the show has been seen by more than 60 million people worldwide. The film is released in the UK on January 11.

Can anybody give me any tips on importing a late model Peugeot 307 to the US from Italy. My daughter currently lives there and she and her soon to be husband (Italian) want to bring his car to the US when they move. It's a 2004 Peugeot 307. I don't even know where to start to find out if it is possible to import it. Thanks!
Imagine the cost to get your gray market import certified by the EPA?
United StatesThe United States continues to use a unique set of standards for its automotive safety and emissions regulations, which do not always directly correspond to the standards of the European Union or Asian countries, which adhere to the United Nations World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations. This means that vehicle manufacturers face considerable expense to type-certify a vehicle for U.S. sale, at a cost estimated to be upward of USD $2 Million per vehicle model. This cost particularly impacts low-volume manufacturers and models, most notably the makers of supercars. However, larger companies such as Alfa Romeo and Peugeot have also cited costs of 'Federalizing' their vehicle lineups as a disincentive to re-enter the U.S. market.NHTSA and EPA regulations criminalise the possession of a vehicle not meeting U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Even Canadian-market vehicles may not meet these requirements. Exceptions exist for foreign nationals touring the US in their own vehicle and for cars displayed in museums.Because of the unavailability of certain cars, demand for grey market vehicles arose in the late 1970's. This involved attaching certain equipment as required by the government. The agencies NHTSA and EPA would review the paperwork and then approve possession of the vehicle. It was also possible for these agencies to reject the application and order the automobile destroyed or deported.The grey market provided an alternate method for Americans to acquire desirable vehicles, and still obtain certification. Despite the inherent risk, tens of thousands of cars were imported this way each year, during the 1980s.The Lamborghini Countach was one of the first grey market vehicles, encouraging the Italian manufacturer to prepare a US model. The Range Rover was initially available only through the grey market, and the popularity of the model eventually convinced the parent company to re-enter the US market in 1987. Other manufacturers, like PSA Peugeot Citroën with the CX and Renault with the mid-engine Renault 5 Turbo, missed the signals sent by the grey market about American consumer tastes and demand.This avenue was increasingly successful, especially in cases where only lower quality models were offered on the US market. For example, Mercedes-Benz chose to offer only the lower-output 380SEL model to Americans in 1981, ensuring a huge demand for the much faster 500SEL, which was available in the rest of the world. BMW had the same issue with their 745i Turbo.The grey market was too successful and ate significantly into the business of Mercedes-Benz of North America Inc. This organization launched a successful congressional lobbying effort to eliminate this alternative in 1988. Allegations have been raised of improper lobbying, but the issue has never been raised in court.It is no longer possible to import a non-US vehicle into the United States as a personal import, with some exceptions. In 1998, NHTSA granted vehicles over 25 years of age dispensation from the rules it administers, since these are presumed to be collector vehicles. It is also possible to certify the car though a Registered importer for DOT work and an ICI for EPA work, bringing in a number of cars to spread the cost of type approval and destructive testing. Destructive crash testing is not always needed if the vehicle can be shown to be substantially similar to a model sold in the US. The Smart Fortwo car is imported in this manner. Finally, the Show or Display law allows import of vehicle[s] "of such historical or technological significance that it is in the public interest to show or display it in the United States even though it would be difficult or impossible to bring the vehicle into compliance with the Federal motor vehicle safety standards. This provision is intended to facilitate the importation of a make or model of a vehicle which its manufacturer never certified for sale in the United States." However, this provision still demands compliance with emissions standards.Recently, a vehicle which came to notoriety is the Nissan Skyline, which was featured proeminently in video games, movies and magazines. This vehicle, being exlusively sold in Japan, became an object of intrest and in 1999, a California company, Motorex, sacrificed a small number of R33 GTS25s for the purpose of crash testing. They submitted their information to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and petitioned them to allow 1990-1999 GT-Rs and GTSs to be imported, at the condition that they were modified to meet federal motor vehicle safety standards.Many Skylines were subsequently imported through Motorex. This lasted until late 2005, when the NHTSA became informed that not all 1990 through 1999 Skyline models would perform identically in crash testing. Motorex had submitted information for only the R33, and told the NHTSA that it was sufficient for all R32, R33, and R34 models. According the further review by the NHTSA, only 1996-1998 R33 models have been demonstrated as capable of being modified to meet the federal motor vehicle safety standards. After that, only these 1996-1998 models are eligible for importation. In March of 2006, Motorex ceased all imports and Motorex principal Hiroaki "Hiro" Nanahoshi was arrested and held on $1 million bail on financial, kidnapping, and assault charges.[1][2]The North American Automobile Trade Association is an association of dealers that buy and sell vehicles across international borders.The NHTSA administers the Registered Importer Program that allows companies to import and bring into compliance non conforming vehicles.
Keep in mind rather then Importing the car from italy and spending tonnes on shipping costs, look for the same car in Mexico if it's sold there, and import it to the US as it would be cheaper, and already meet some of the EPA rules and some North American safety rules as well.

POlice sit inside hams and watch people have drinks, then follow them outside and telephones another cop in the church parking lot to arrest them. Is this not entrapment or is this the only way burke county sheriffs can catch someone?

The Gate gas/police station is the hot spot for snitching on their customers. It's better to go to Ingles late at night to buy your supplies.

The motown cops do target the customers. Thats why the guy who used to run the place stopped having them on sight. Caught them (cops) on the phone giving heads up to there fellow officers. Why they are back I do not know?? Seems the folks who run it now can manage to keep it as fun and peaceful as the last guy.

It couldnt be as bad as bail bondsmen distributing business cards to everyone that's been drinking at restaurants, clubs, festivals that serve alcohol, etc... Heck, that's a way for them to get some business.

If you drink and drive, we will catch you. It's that simple. Cry about it all you like. Yell harassment or entrapment all you want. You drink, you drive, you pay.

Here's a thought, Don't drink and drive!
#15 Apr 23, 2009
If you want to drink, stay at home. I personally enjoy going out to eat and not being hararrassed by some drunk being loud and obnoxious while I try to enjoy a nice quiet dinner. It would be better not to drink at all and destroy your liver or brain cells. But the best thing is not to drink and drive for sure and risk someone elses life. Are you wanting to get caught and then cry about it later and blame a police officer for doing their job? or the nurse or doctor for doing their job when you come to the ER and have a alcohol level so high that you really should be laying in the morgue? Go figure!!!!
#16 Apr 23, 2009
Oh, i do dearly long for the good old days of me youth when a young man could quite freely go out on the town and get wall-eyed dee-runk and still drive his lovely young (but pissed) girlfriend home after puking in the bushes and punching out his best friend. Yes, yes, those were the good old days when even if you got pulled over by our trusty boys in blue and there was vomit running down the side of the drivers door cause you were too busy to pull over and hurl, your friendly police officer would just follow you home cause he knowed yer daddy or mom. Or maybe cause he wanted to nail yer extremely pissed girlfriend after he got you safely tucked in. Either way, everybody was happy. Except maybe the owner of the 4 cars you sideswiped earlier in the evening.
Yes, them were truly the days and what the hey, we almost never killed anybody anyways. Almost never. Nobody important anyways. Except maybe for that time with the old man. Oh yeah, and then there was the blind guy. Oh, and I nearly forgot little Jimmy on his bike doing his paper route. My paper was never on time after that. Too bad. I hate it when my paper's late. Makes me want to pitch a mean blind dee-runk just for old times sake.
Better watch out, I just loves to drive on the sidewalks...like back in the good old days. YeeeHaa..

The Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa is conducting an HIV/AIDS consultation in Nairobi, Kenya:
Archbishop Ian Ernest of the Anglican Province of the Indian Ocean and CAPA chairperson said that since the church is influential in Africa, it is crucial for its leaders to offer informed leadership based on reality, and not on moral judgment.
"We are aware pastoral care is being offered, but it is also important to offer any help that would prevent the spread of AIDS," said Ernest. "For example, the use of condoms can help to check the spread of AIDS. So preventive measures have to be courageously presented, and this should be accompanied by appropriate teaching on human sexuality and reproductive health."
Ernest urged Anglican leaders to challenge false ideas about HIV, such as AIDS not being caused by HIV, or the idea that the disease can be cured by traditional healers.
The full article is by Fredrick Nzwili of Ecumenical News International and is available from Episcopal News Service.
The Daily Nation reports,
Anglican bishops drawn across Africa met in Nairobi this week to discuss the role of leadership in HIV and Aids campaign.
The three-day conference was organised by the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa as part of the churches efforts to openly discuss issues related to the disease in the society.
The Anglican Church called for a unified approach in advocacy to eliminate stigma and discrimination in the wider society [and] urged politicians to participate in implementing policies that made health services accessible to persons living with the scourge.

Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz were spotted out to dinner together in Madrid last week — woot! It's been too, too long since we saw this hot couple together, though we knew from sightings that even out of the spotlight they are going strong. We have big hopes for the duo going forward, but even if wedding bells aren't around the corner, we're still happy to see the smoking hot Spaniards together again.

i'm soo happy that we can easily confirm that they are still together. i think that it's great how they keep their relationship somewhat private even though i know that we would all LOVE to see them on the red carpet together. they would be one of the NEW power couples for sure!
Haven't seen them together in a while so its nice to see them out and about.
I really hate those type of jeans where you can't see the person's feet.
i thought they had broken up...either way good for them.
i love them together, so sexy.
I was worried too cupcakers!!!
I´m sorry this is sooo not the right venue for my rant, but I just have to vent...why must it be the natural development of every relationship to get engaged and eventually married? If a relationship is based on mutual respect, love, etc., and both individuals are commited to each other, I don´t see the need for some "bling" or a legal document to testify their commitment to the rest of the world. The only reason I would think of justifying the ceremony of getting married (in a civil ceremony mind you, not in a church) is if there was some financial benefit to gain from it. Maybe I´m just the least romantic person in the world...
seriously kind of relieved to see this, I secretly was worried they weren't together! I can carry on now! :)
The sneakers, Javier, the sneakers.
I always wonder how big these two are in Spain. But they are equally talented on their own and beautiful as a twosome.

Fans use Rangers' Shannon Stone memorial as trash can
Consider what follows to be pretty disrespectful behavior by some fans at Monday's Phillies-Rangers game.
More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
You'll recall the tragic story of Shannon Stone, the Rangers fan and veteran firefighter who, while attending a game in 2011 with his young son, fell to his death at the ballpark. You'll also recall that the Rangers later honored Stone and his son Cooper with a "fan" statue.
Unfortunately, this is what became of that memorial prior to the Opening Day contest between the visiting Phillies and Rangers:
This is the statue of the Rangers fan who fell to his death at the ballpark in '11. Look what people did to it today. pic.twitter.com/zaZgRnMl7W
— Kami Mattioli (@kmattio) April 1, 2014
As you can see, some fans in attendance in essence used the Stone statue as a garbage dump. That's pretty lousy and disrespectful behavior, especially considering what this memorial represents. My guess is that the people responsible were too lazy to walk, say, 30 feet to the nearest trash receptacle.
To the Rangers' credit, they cleaned up the mess after it was brought to their attention and publicly apologized:
The Rangers Fans statue is a cherished component of the ballpark & the club will make certain this situation does not occur in the future.
— Texas Rangers (@Rangers) April 1, 2014
Really, though, it's not the Rangers who should be apologizing.

Citation: Leathers, T.D., Nunnally, M.S., Ahlgren, J.A., Cote, G.L. 2003. Characterization of a novel modified alternan [abstract]. Society of Industrial Microbiology. p. 100. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Alternan is a glucan with a unique backbone structure of alternating alpha-(1-6) and alpha-(1-3) linkages. Recently, novel strains of Penicillium sp. were isolated that quantitatively modify alternan to lower apparent molecular weight forms with solution viscosity properties that resemble those of gum arabic (U. S. Patent 6,479,275). Gum arabic is exclusively imported, and it would be desirable to have a domestic alternative of consistent quality and price. Modified alternan was further characterized to evaluate its potential for commercial applications. High molecular weight native alternan was progressively modified to lower molecular weight heterodisperse forms, associated with a reduction in absorbance at 225 nm, light scattering, and opalescence. Modified alternan exhibits a linkage pattern generally similar to that of native alternan. The solution viscosity properties of modified alternan resemble those of ultrasonicated alternan and commercial gum arabic, although alternan lacks the emulsification capacity of gum arabic. Alternan solutions are extremely stable at 4-37°C and at pH 3-9. Dry preparations of alternan are bright white powders that are not highly hygroscopic. Thus, modified alternan is promising for further development as a gum arabic substitute.

I think its 2 different Red Eye machines.
Gorgeous machine! Your "new" one is a real beauty. Decals are really in good shape!
Congrats on the new one!
Thought folks might like to see a "naked" (Heather's term, not mine) Singer 28
It had the "Victorian" decals but they were shot....
then with a little help from Brasso...
THIS is why you DO NOT want to get it on the bed of your machine if you LIKE your decals....
half an hour later..
I was going to put on the aftermarket "celtic" set of decals bought from Keeler but I asked if they would consider making a 28 sized set of 3 color gingerbread pattern.
They replied that it was not only a good idea but they were going to put that on the short list to get produced.
Perhaps a month or two they said.
So, I am going to wait.
Just finished CLAing my "found in an old home" 1912 Singer 28. It defines the meaning of "sounds and runs like a sewing machine." Such a pleasant sound and a very nice stitch.

Guy tries to prank girlfriend by telling her he cheated, things go south fast
When you're telling your girlfriend that you cheated on her, problems can arise quickly. But YouTube prankster Roman Atwood didn't think this one all the way through, apparently.
Good for her getting some revenge on him. Though it would have been kind of a downer if he went all George Zimmerman on her while the camera watched. Maybe he could do that next time to really next level that prank. Step your game up, Roman.

Don't hesitate to interview for positions that are virtual. This job market is filled with demands for individuals who are willing to work temp, contract, part-time and virtual. The NATO Conference was currently held in the city of Chicago. It's is amazing how many companies allowed their employees to work virtual this past Friday and Monday. In fact, many employers were impressed at how efficiently their offices ran with their employees working from home.
You must protect yourself from possible scams, but there are many valid job opportunities working virtual. Some companies offer a combination of traditional and virtual. If an opportunity sounds too good to be true, or appears to be a get rich quick scheme, walk away. However, you don't want to shut the door on all virtual opportunities. Just imagine for a moment the money you would save in commuting costs.
When you are submitting your resume and cover letter, remember to stress the benefits of a future hiring authority selecting you over your competition. Here are bad examples taken from cover letters:
Example One: "I'm looking for a position to help me ride out the next 13 months until I retire. I'm looking for a good salary and benefits."
Example Two: "I will accept a lower level position, until I can find a job in my field."
Example Three: "I've been out of work for over a year, my unemployment is running out and I will accept any job you have available."
In all of these examples, the job seeker is focused on themselves vs. the benefits to the employer. You don't want to tell a future employer that you only plan to work 13 months. You don't want to tell an employer you will work for them until you find something better. Lastly, you don't want to ever appear desperate. That will only result in a low ball job offer.
You need to always keep one question in mind "Why should an employer hire you over your competition?" Stress accomplishments and the impact they had on past employers. Remember, this is a competition and you want to win. Providing TMI (Too Much Information) can result in you being screened out based on your paperwork alone.
Your job is to make this hiring authority look good. Your job is to provide the greatest return on their investment (your salary). Your job is to show them why you are the best fit for their company culture. When you accomplish these things, you will be the person who is brought in for an interview and hired!

'I have fought for 10 years and endured the pain,' I want to live like a normal person. I just want to be able to hold my daughter properly and hug her. It would be nice to eat with my own hands as well' Mr Bajandar said before the operation
'It was a successful operation. We removed warts from all five fingers of his right hand. He's now happy and was laughing,'
'We'll now review his condition for the next three weeks before deciding whether to conduct more operations. It's a big challenge.'
He was given the all-clear for surgery after tests confirmed the warts were not cancerous.
The Bangladesh government agreed to bear the costs of his treatment and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was given an update on his condition, Sen said.

The North Carolina Secretary of State's Office is in the process of correcting transfer
of entity information oversights, which occurred during implementation of the current
Secretary of State Knowledge Base (SOSKB) system in 1997. The correction will enable
business-to-business (B2B) applications to process smoother, enable future application
changes to be implemented in a timely manner, and eliminate the need for multiple
identification numbers per entity.
The previous system contained information in separate silos for different types
of entities causing many entities to be assigned duplicate Secretary of State Identification
numbers (SOSID). In order that each business entity in the SOSKB system has a unique
SOSID number, it is necessary to reassign a few entity SOSID numbers.
For your convenience a cross-reference Excel spreadsheet is available below. Only
those entities whose SOSID numbers have changed are included on the listing. The
reassigned numbers will be effective as of December 1, 2006. Please make note of
these changes in your records. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This set includes:
- Final Call (2013)
- Grammy Nominated (2010)
Final Call
56th GRAMMY NOMINEE BEST NEW AGE ALBUM
As a homage to Kitaro's lifetime reverence for Nature, Final Call is a voyage of introspection specifically concerned about how we treat our planet. It's Kitaro's assertion that the planet itself is crying out and warning us about potential serious consequences if we don't address these global issues in a timely fashion.
In his own words, Kitaro describes his new musical work, "I have always felt we all must respect the providence of the Universe. Unfortunately, through the course of time and the growth of civilization, many living creatures that we now know will become extinct. If we don't alter how we treat each other and our planet Earth, many habitats and portions of this earth may become devastated and eventually disappear. This album is the story of an epic voyage... A voyage of hope that all living creatures can someday live happily in harmony with each other. The story begins from where we board for departure."
Kitaro is universally acknowledged as the founding architect of new age music. His various sound collaborations and resonant, multi-textured compositions truly defy the constraints of any genre. The Grammy and Golden Globe-winning Kitaro has garnered global acclaim over a more than three decade long career with a signature sound and a pioneering fusion of cultures, techniques and spheres of consciousness that are truly his own.

Through the course of his career, Kitaro has sold millions of albums, CD's and DVD's worldwide. Kitaro's various sound collaborations and resonant, multi-textured compositions, with their crescendos of passion and oases of serenity, truly defy the constraints of any genre.

That 3-3 did look rotated, so she'll probably get full credit though -3 + -1 for the fall.
That 3-3 did look rotated, so she'll probably get full credit though -3 + -1 for the fall.
And another little firecracker to close (Leah Kaiser) - lots of talent there although she started with a fall.
Our ladies did well tonight.
I'm concerned about Mirai but we all know she likes the underdog position.
Ouch Leah is in 10th. I though she would be a bit higher.
This last one, Leah Kaiser, looks & skates like she still belongs in Novice & Juniors imho. They've rushed her on up to Seniors too fast.
And now my final word about Rachael Flatt, whom I've been a fan of since I first saw her debut in 2007, still a fan like I said earlier, but her politics & other things totally unrelated to skating turn me off. This is why it is not good to mix church with state, skating with politics, et al. It's a huge turn off. I'm glad Michelle Kwan always kept a low profile and never mixed her personal life with skating in such a way that it's open to interpretation. Here's to Rachael doing super at Stanford (that's given, lol) and if she continues to skate I wish her well.
So Caroline's 2nd loop was underrotated...but she still got (+) GOE on it. I guess the judges were just as shocked as everyone else
Good for Christina for skating clean after a injury-filled summer and a rough GP season. Hoping we'll see the 3-3 in tye long
what are the FS groupings? do we already know who will make TV?
very happy for caroline and ashley and agnes and sophia and haley and mackinzie and nina. wish i could have been happy for leah and mirai as well...
Thats a helluva final flight Goodnight everyone!
Now why is Leah ahead of Kiri Baga?

Audrey Pheffer Receives Historical Dolls By St. Camillus Students
Assemblywoman Audrey I. Pheffer was delighted to receive several small sculptures created by St. Camillus students featuring great figures in America's history. The small doll statues, created by the eighth grade social studies students, include great Americans in history ranging from Abraham Lincoln to Davy Crocket to Henry Ford. The figurines were also accompanied by essays written by the artists, offering a biography of each historical figure. These wonderful pieces of art are on display in Assemblywoman Pheffer's Albany office and she invites anyone who may be in the area to stop by and view the students' creations. Pictured, from left: Sister Agnes White, John Biscaino, Shannon Delfini, Assemblywoman Audrey I. Pheffer, Kaylynn Murchison, Tailah Diaz and Maureen O'Sullivan.

German dramatist Bertolt Brecht viewed most wars as a political panacea for economic downturns and a purposeful division of people by color, religion, language, and geography—a timely perspective in an era defined by the "war on terror," fears about immigration, and ethnic conflict worldwide. For this reimagining of Brecht and composer Hanns Eisler's rarely performed music-theater work Roundheads and…

There is singing, dancing, music, theater. There is impassioned oratory (and, possibly, some less charismatic speakers). There are urgent messages of social import, and opportunities for self-improvement. There are groups of locals coming together in a special, even sacred place to feel a sense of belonging, or to open themselves to transformation—spiritually, morally, intellectually. There is ceremony and…
