The American actress shows off her ring on TV. Take a look at it below!
Kate Hudson and Muse frontman Matt Bellamy have become engaged, the actress has confirmed.
Goldie Hawn 's daughter appeared on US TV today and showed off her engagement ring.
Hudson , who is pregnant with Bellamy's child, had previously said that she was in no rush to get married, after her 7 year marriage to musician Chris Robinson - father of her child Ryder - ended in 2007.
But the actress seems to have changed her mind and proudly showed off her sparkler on The Today's Show.

Chicago is a major center for artsy twentysomethings reinventing underground club culture by recombining 90s signifiers (club kids, riot grrrl, hyper-Photoshopped pop stars) in ways informed by social-media platforms (especially Tumblr). Zain Curtis, aka Teen Witch, has contributed as much or more than anyone in town, thanks largely to a long-running night at Berlin called CULT that until January provided this Internet-based tribe a physical home. (He recently launched its successor, Total Therapy, also at Berlin.) Curtis is not only the scene's most influential curator (and one of its guiding sartorial figures) but also one of its better DJs. Lately his mixes have relied extensively on Top 40 bubblegum songs (Taylor Swift and One Direction are particular favorites), which he and other similarly obscure Soundcloud producers tear apart and reassemble into aggressively strange but highly danceable remixes, deconstructing the originals in a way that's entirely irony free.

Just sayin'
Just an observation here as I caught up today with the news of Ottawa's decision to bring back old British-style ranks for the army: Canada is returning to many things British, while Britain is opting for new-style Canadians.
Consider that Britain has imported Mark Carney and Moya Greene to head the Bank of England and Royal Mail, respectively, the former as governor and the latter as chief executive officer.
Both are making their mark: Mr. Carney, the former Bank of Canada chief, ushered in a new era of central bank communications at the 319-year-old institution last week, and shook up the markets in the process.
Ms. Greene, in turn, is shaking up the almost 500-year-old postal operation, which is soon to be privatized. Details of that, said to be Britain's largest such move in about 20 years, are expected this week.
Then there's Normand Boivin, a former official at Montreal Dorval Airport who has been chief operating officer at Heathrow since mid-2011.
Yesterday, Canada's defence minister announced plans to bring back traditional ranks and insignia from the two world wars and the Korean conflict.
That means a return to "pips" and crowns as insignia, ranks such as trooper, sapper and fusilier and badges with crossed swords, maple leaves and a crown.
"This takes nothing away from the Maple Leaf," Defence Minister Peter Mackay said yesterday, according to The Canadian Press.
"There are other places which the Maple Leaf is honoured. This in no way diminishes Canadian identity, and I would suggest we are returning to the insignia that was so much a part of what the Canadian Army accomplished in Canada's name."
The Canadian government has, of course, also been returning to "Royal" in terms of the names of the Canadian air force and navy. Last month alone, it restored the historical names of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals and the Royal Canadian Infantry Corps, among others.
NYSE to run Libor
The parent of the New York Stock Exchange is taking over administration of a key, scandal-plagued interest rate.
NYSE Euronext said today its rate administration subsidiary was chosen to take over Libor, or the London interbank offered rate, in a deal expected to be completed by early next year after a regulatory review.
The British Bankers' Association had run the benchmark since it began, and changes have been promised amid a rate-manipulation scandal that caught up several of the world's big banks.
"As part of a leading global exchange and market infrastructure group, NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Ltd. is uniquely placed to restore the international credibility of Libor," the company said.
IMF bumps up Canada
The International Monetary Fund has bumped up its forecast for economic growth in Canada, even as it trimmed its projection for the global economy.
The IMF now expects Canada's economy to expand by 1.7 per cent this year, up from its earlier forecast of 1.5 per cent, and by 2.2 per cent in 2014, down by 0.2 of a percentage point compared to earlier.
It cut its forecast for global growth in each of the two years, to 3.1 per cent this year and 2.8 per cent next year.
Canada, Britain and Japan were the only countries to receive a stronger forecast this year.
"Downside risks to global growth prospects still dominate: while old risks remain, new risks have emerged, including the possibility of a longer growth slowdown in emerging market economies, especially given risks of lower potential growth, slowing credit, and possibly tighter financial conditions if the anticipated unwinding of monetary policy stimulus in the United States leads to sustained capital flow reversals," the organization said.
"Stronger global growth will require additional policy action. Specifically, major advanced economies should maintain a supportive macroeconomic policy mix, combined with credible plans for reaching medium-term debt sustainability and reforms to restore balance sheets and credit channels."
Housing starts slip
Home construction in Canada continues to run at a strong pace, though down in June from May
Housing starts across the country slipped last month to an annual pace of 199,586 units from May's 204,616, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said today.
Construction starts on single homes declined by 4.1 per cent, and those for multiples, such as condominiums and apartments, by 2 per cent.
In urban areas, British Columbia was the only province to see an increase.
"While a slowdown in winter time homebuilding suggested housing was starting to cool off, today's reading taken together with yesterday's robust building permits number, suggests residential construction still has some steam left, potentially garnering support from earlier robust condominium pre-sales," said economist Emanuella Enenajor of CIBC World Markets.

Air Canada moves up
Airlines are like cellphone companies and banks in that we love to complain about them.
So here's a tidbit for today: Air Canada is moving up the list in a ranking of who gets you there on time.
According to FlightStats, which compiles daily information, Air Canada ranked No. 2 in June among the major North American carriers for getting travellers to the gate within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival, at 81.28 per cent.
At the top of the list is Alaska Airlines of Seattle, at 86.8 per cent, and No. 3 is Delta Air Lines, at 76.39 per cent.
Note that the statistics, also published by Forbes, are for what FlightStats considers North America's major airlines.
Air Canada holds a different, lower rank for all North American carriers, and different again among the world's airlines.
Notable for Air Canada is how it has moved up the FlightStats majors list, from No. 3 in May, even though the percentage was higher, at 82.86, and No. 6 in April, at 75.45.
It ranked No. 8 in each of the first three months of the year, with percentages ranging from 59.2 per cent to 70.2 per cent.
(In June, WestJet, by comparison, stood at 80.61 per cent, and Porter at 73.93 per cent.)

text: Big business – cut-throat? Mercenary? Not on your nelly. As the festive period gets ever nearer, it would appear the spirit of Santa is alive and well in the world of advertising. Sainsbury's Christmas advert, 'praised for its fresh and honest approach to the festivities', according to the Daily Mail, handed rival Co-op an early present by featuring three of its products in the 'epic' commercial. "We're delighted our delicious Christmas products have made it into their ad. It certainly gave us a chuckle," chuckled (see?) a Co-op spokesman. So in this spirit of co-operation (sorry), what other unlikely partnerships can we hope to see – Simon Cowell competing in Strictly Come Dancing?

We are a couple in our late 40's traveling to Costa Rica for the first time. We will be spending one day/night in San Jose. I have read that many people feel you should skip San Jose, but I want to see the city. Where would you recommend staying that is mid-range in price, decent neighborhood, includes breakfast, internet access and transportaion from the airport? I have been doing some research and saw Rincon del Valle, Hotel Santo Tomas and Hotel Bergerac. Any thoughts?
Second, we would like to do some of the ususal tourist things such as ziplining, volcano, white water rafting, hiking, rain forest, etc. Where would we get an idea on the cost of these activities? Should we use a travel company? Thanks!

If you want to see San Jose, I believe you should stay close to downtown. Traffic can be a nightmare, and you don't want to add to the headache.
Some folks like the Santo Tomas. But I think that block feels a little dicey. You are very close to the red light district there. Not familiar with the Rincon. But I did an inspection of La Bergerac after reading positive reviews. I left feeling a little baffled. We didn't feel that it hit our minimum standards to send guests.
Two choices that include breakfast would be the Hotel Fleur de Lys, and the Aurola Holiday Inn.
The Fleur de Lys in very conveniently located not far from the National Theater, the Gold Museum, and the National Museum. It is a converted mansion, and very clean. The rooms can be a little small, but the breakfast is good and they have a friendly staff. Internet onsite.
The Holiday Inn may sound like an odd choice. No, it is not the little boutique style hotel that we all usually discuss here. But the hotel was renovated in the last 18 months, and the rooms are exceptionally nice.
This is perhaps the best value in downtown San Jose. So we have been featuring them in our packages lately. It is centrally located, and an incredible value. The rack rate is $160.00 per night. But there is always some kind of special out there, and you can usually take 30 to 40% off that. Plus this is the tallest building in San Jose, and offers fantastic views. Book a room a few floors up, and noise is not an issue. Breakfast and Internet is included, and they have a nice indoor pool too.
The Hotel Grano de Oro is another choice. Another converted mansion, and more upscale than Fleur de Lys. But the neighborhood is quiet, and they have (I think) the best restaurant in the entire country. More expensive than the other two, but a bargain compared to rooms in the US with similar amenities. The rooms have Internet, but breakfast is not included.
Airport shuttles from downtown hotels are not common in Costa Rica. But the taxi system is efficient. You can also ask your travel agent to arrange a van and driver to meet you outside the terminal to take you to your hotel.
The activities that you are seeking are available all over the country. But some activities are better in some locations than others. For example, the best (IMHO) place to zipline is Monteverde. Rafting is best on the Rio Pacuare, etc. So you need to plan your activities as you plan your itinerary.
But figure most of what you are seeking can be accomplished for between $65 and $85 per person, per activity. Most of these will include a meal.
Hope this helps! Let me know if I can offer more advice.
Warm Regards,

I would say that Adventure Inn would be the perfect place for you in San Jose. We have stayed there twice in the last 2 yrs and it is an excellent place to stay. It has everything you want. If you email them they can also help you with other travel needs in Costa Rica.
Report Abuse
Wow! Thank you so much for the info. Taking out the two hotels that I previously thought about and we are looking at the suggestions.
Report Abuse
I agree about ziplining in Monteverde!
Report Abuse
I support your idea to take a day for San Jose. From above it does not look great but its museums are worth the visit, and pedestrian area is nice to stroll on a sunny day. Go to the Central Market (Mercado Central)for an affordable lunch. We have also stayed at Adventure Inn, great for first and last night, close to the airport and taxi ride is refunded. But it is cca 20 US$ taxi ride to downtown.
Report Abuse
We stayed at Grano de Oro and thought it was really charming. The onsite restaurant was very good as well. Don't miss the rooftop garden with hot tubs. The rooms vary a lot in amenities from pretty simple to very elaborate. Very cool architecture and good service there.
Report Abuse
I like Don Carlos and it's in a good location as well. Cool architecture and a super gift shop. I've only stayed at Adventure Inn once but I didn't really care for it. I like Don Carlos and Casa 69 downtown and Orquideas Inn in Alejuela.
Report Abuse
Checking out Sunset Tours and Desafio will give you an idea of activity prices. Rios Tropicales is nice for rafting.
Report Abuse
Another recommendation for Don Carlos from me! We only spent one night there, but it was a charming hotel. They did have transportation from the airport. The food at their restaurant was good - I don't remember it being anything special, but it worked for us! But the hotel is very charming - it's a converted mansion type building so it's really beautiful. If we had to stay downtown again (we were leaving in the morning for a tour that departed from downtown) I'd definitely stay there!
Report Abuse
I stayed in the Don Carlos 3 or 4 times and loved it. Quiet neighborhood fairly near the center of town and convenient. Of course, last visit was about 6 or 7 years ago but I would still recommend.

This may be really old, especially for today's telegenic mindset, but I just came across these clips of Adam performing in "Wicked" and thought that they may be new for some of you too! 🙂 We all know Adam was in different companies of Wicked as a member of the chorus, and was even the understudy for the male lead, Fiyero, in the Los Angeles cast, performed at The Pantages Theatre. But did you get to see Adam performing in that role? Some people were very lucky and got to see the glam star in the making. Wicked was Adam's last professional job before entering American Idol. In fact, he gave up his part to proceed with Idol.
Thank you to my friend Ellen for passing the comparison video on to me. I must say all of the lead males in this piece are excellent singers! I also found a few more examples floating around the internet that allow us into his pre-Idol world. Curtain call!

A Hammer toe or contracted toe is a deformity of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the second, third, or fourth toe causing it to be permanently bent, resembling a hammer. Mallet toe is a similar condition affecting the distal interphalangeal joint.
While most cases of hammertoes are caused by an underying muscle imbalance, it may develop as a result of several different causes, including arthritis, a hereditary condition, an injury, or ill-fitting shoes. In some cases, patients develop hammertoes after wearing shoes or stockings that are too tight for long periods of time. These patients usually develop hammertoes in both feet.
The most obvious symptom of hammer, claw or mallet toe is the abnormal toe position. This is usually combined with pain: the abnormal foot position leads to excessive friction on the toe as it rubs against any footwear which can be extremely painful. Corns & Calluses: repeated friction can result in the formation of a foot corn or callus on top of the toes. Stiffness, the joints become increasingly stiff. In the early stages, the toes can usually be straightened out passively using your hands, but if allowed to progress, the stiffness may be permanent.
Your doctor is very likely to be able to diagnose your hammertoe simply by examining your foot. Even before that, he or she will probably ask about your family and personal medical history and evaluate your gait as you walk and the types of shoes you wear. You'll be asked about your symptoms, when they started and when they occur. You may also be asked to flex your toe so that your doctor can get an idea of your range of motion. He or she may order x-rays in order to better define your deformity.
Non Surgical Treatment
The most common treatment is to wear more comfortable shoes. When choosing a shoe, make sure the toe area is high and broad and has enough room for hammer toes. If there is chronic pain, surgery may be needed to correct a malalignment. Surgical treatments are aimed at loosening up the contracted toe joints to allow them to align properly. Other types of treatment are products designed to relieve hammer toes, such as hammer toe crests and hammer toe splints. These devices will help hold down the hammer toe and provide relief to the forefoot. Gel toe shields and gel toe caps can also be used. Gel toe shields and toe caps will help eliminate friction between the shoe and the toe, while providing comfort and lubrication.
Surgical Treatment
Toes can be surgically realigned and made straight again. They can even be made shorter. The good news is that toes can be corrected. Hammer toe surgery is often synonymous with ?toe shortening?, ?toe job? and/or ?toe augmentation?. Depending on the severity and length of the toe, there are several methods to surgically correct a hammer toe. In general, the surgery involves removing a portion of the bone at the contracted joint, to realign the toe.
The best first step you can take is to evaluate your shoe choices. Ditch any shoes that aren?t serving your feet well. Shoes that crowd the front of your foot, especially around your toes, aggravate Hammer toe the existing condition and can also cause the condition to develop. If you suspect the development of hammertoe, you may also try using protective pads to prevent irritation and the development of corns. Custom orthotics to correct muscle imbalances in your feet may also help prevent hammertoe.

WEEK TWO: Vikings Defensive Depth Chart
By: Aj Mansour | KFAN.com
Mankato, MN - Week two saw a little bit of movement of the Vikings imaginary depth chart. I call it imaginary because Zimmer has not shared when he will release an official depth chart, so I put my imagination to work, pulled knowledge and memories of what I saw this week and pumped out the week two defensive depth chart!
Analysis inserted below if necessary.
(1) Everson Griffen
(2) Justin Trattou
(3) Scott Critchton
(4) Jake Snyder
(1) Linval Joseph
(2) Tom Johnson
(3) Kheeston Randall
(4) Shamar Stephen
(1) Sharrif Floyd
(2) Fred Evans
(3) Chase Baker
(4) Isam Faciane
(1) Brian Robison
(2) Cory Wooten
(3) Rakim Cox
(4) Tyler Scott
DEFENSIVE LINE ANALYSIS: The void between the number one and number two defensive line units seems to be growing wider by the day, especially on the interior. These coaches LOVE what they are seeing from Linval Joseph and Sharrif Floyd and are excited to see what sort of impact they will have on the defense as a whole. Free agent pickup Cory Wooten continues to get healthy and will provide some depth on the outside while veteran Vikings Fred Evans gives the interior depth.
SAM LINEBACKER (strongside)
(1) Anthony Barr
(2) Audie Cole
(3) Gerald Hodges
(4) Mike Zimmer
MIKE LINEBACKER (middle)
(1) Jasper Brinkley
(2) Audie Cole
(3) Mike Mauti
WILL LINEBACKER (weakside)
(1) Chad Greenway
(2) Brandon Watts
(3) Larry Dean
(4) Dom DeCicco
LINEBACKER ANALYSIS: Lots of movement within the linebacking corps this week. With many versatile players, the coaches have been able to try different things to test the varying skill sets of the backers. If for this week only, the core group has not changed with Audie Cole (SAM), Jasper Brinkley (MIKE) and Chad Greenway (WILL). That said, Audie Cole has made some strides and appears to have moved ahead of Mike Mauti as the number two MIKE, Anthony Barr has a big week and made his presence felt moving ahead of Gerald Hodges on the strongside and his increased reps could continue to shake things up as camp continues.
CORNER BACK (right side)
(1) Xavier Rhodes
(2a) Derek Cox
(2b) Jabari Price
(4) Shaun Prater
CORNER BACK (left side)
(1) Captain Munnerlyn
(2) Marcus Sherels
(3) Josh Robinson
(4) Robert Steeples
(5) Julian Posey
(6) Kendall James
CORNER BACK ANALYSIS: Xavier Rhodes is still getting number one reps on the right side but has not looked particularly good. Dropping easy picks and finding himself a half step in the wrong direction shows he's still having a tough time grasping the new scheme. Behind him, Derek Cox is making a push for more time but that has not happened yet. On the other side, Josh Robinson has been plagued with injury at the same time that Captain Munnerlyn has returned to the field. So far Marcus Sherels has been the biggest benefactor of the extra reps and is attempting to make something out of the opportunity.
(1) Harrison Smith
(2) Jamarca Sanford
(3) Brandan Bishop
(1) Jamarca Sanford
(2) Mistral Raymond
(3) Kurt Coleman
(4) Antone Exum
*Robert Blanton currently injured.
SAFETY ANALYSIS: Robert Blanton's hamstring injury came at a bad time as the third year player was beginning to firmly assert himself as that starting safety. In a Surprise move, it's been Mistral Raymond filling in quite a bit for Blanton's open reps.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX posts fourth day of gains, materials rebound
* TSX rises 1.2 percent to end at 11,570.45
* Eight of 10 sectors advance, materials lead
* Canada's economy posts near-record gain in June (Updates to close)
TORONTO, July 9 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index rose more than 1 percent on Friday, rallying for a fourth straight session, helped by confidence in the economy from stunning jobs data, while firm resource prices helped materials lead all sectors higher.
Materials were up 2.3 percent, rebounding from Thursday's selloff, as the price of gold moved back above $1,200 an ounce. As well, copper prices advanced to their highest in nearly two weeks on improving global demand signals. [GOL/] [MET/L]
Among key gainers No. 1 producer Barrick Gold Corp (ABX.TO: Quote) was up 1.42 percent at C$45.04, while diversified miner Teck Resources TCKb.TO rose 3.37 percent to C$35.60.
Financials were also among the solid gainers, rising 1.37 percent on confidence in the domestic economy. Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO: Quote) was up 2.4 percent at C$54.37.
Data released early on Friday showed Canada's economy created six times more jobs than forecast in June to a near-record gain. [ID:nN09261751]
But so-called defensive sectors such as utilities, up 1.75 percent, and consumer staples, up 0.92 percent, also posted strong gains. Continued...

She was the moon
And he was the sun,
They believed to be destined
To meet just once.
And that once moved on,
Leaving them both forlorn.
Many months later
Their paths crossed again,
And knew not did they
Till then,
That they would someday
Be together again;
For two lives as intertwined
As theirs,
Could not be separated by
Mere, countable days.

Torn And Begging For The Light
There are so many things to say.
Tripping on my tongue, my eloquence
Deserts me like courage on the battlefield
And the nausea fuels my hesitance.
Or maybe it's just a lack of practice.
I'm well-versed in verse, and this universe
Is no different. The rhythm's there;
So too's the rhyme, and I'm no worse.
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, but
That same garment is adorned
With a hundred others, much the same,
With bleeding colours. My heart is worn.
Worn down to fraying tendrils, my veins
Criss-crossing in secret patterns,
And nerves on fire, but still the dark
Surrounds, and I'm praying for a lantern
To send the strength that I have lost
And light the path that I must cross.

The second in Stieg Larsson's posthumous Millennium trilogy, The Girl Who Played with Fire is a thriller with liberal tendencies, in which all the baddies are a) male and b) sexist, and all the goodies are socially conscious crusaders.
Generally suspicious of publishing phenomena, I approached this novel with caution – but within a few pages it won me over. The prose is colourless, the storytelling overly direct – but it just gets more and more exciting as you go along.
Millennium magazine is about to publish an exposé of the sex-trafficking industry in Sweden, when the two people behind the report are found murdered in their apartment in Stockholm, and Lisbeth Salander, expert researcher and hacker, is placed firmly in the frame for the crime.
Salander is an extraordinary heroine – a bit reminiscent of the titular character in Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow, though less dislikable. She is sociopathic, violent, weighing only 40 kilos but as hard as nails (she carries a hammer in her handbag), bisexual and so clever that she solves Fermat's last theorem all by herself (possibly stretching credulity there).
Even when Tasering enemies in the testicles, Salander remains surprisingly sympathetic. Larsson is especially good at fight scenes – one, between a two-metre-tall strongman who's impervious to pain and a professional heavyweight boxer aided by a lesbian kick-boxer, is especially memorable.
Halfway through reading this, I mislaid it for half a day and was chewing my fingernails until I found it again. Six hundred and forty nine pages – and they carry you along like a river in spate. And the good news is, there are still the two other books of the trilogy (precursor The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo and sequel The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest) to read.

Isengard: Vinterskugge 12"
Peaceville Records
Isengard was the solo-project started in 1989 by Fenriz - one the key driving forces behind Norwegian legends Darkthrone - because he had many musical ideas to explore that didn't strictly fit in with the style and music of Darkthrone. Under the Isengard moniker, Fenriz released 2 albums, Vinterskugge & Høstmørke. Vinterskugge consists of 3 separate recordings made between 1989 & 1993, and contains a whole multitude of styles, including doom, rock, folk, death, black & viking metal. Vinterskugge also demonstrated Fenriz's breadth of vocal styles, lending an epic edge to many of the tracks. The album contains 3 chapters. The first, Vanderen, features the most recent tracks, from 1993. The second part comprises of Spectres Over Gorgoroth, an early Isengard recording from 1989, while chapter 3 features tracks from 1991, called Horizons.Tags: 90s bf16 black metal metal norway reissues viking metal

Telewest is selling its 75% stake in the agency, one of the UK's biggest sellers of rock and pop tickets, to part of the Andrew Lloyd Webber empire. Lord Lloyd Webber is buying Way Ahead through Really Useful Theatres, a joint venture between his Really Useful Group and City venture capitalist Bridgepoint, which was set up when Lloyd Webber engineered the £87m buyout of Stoll Moss Theatres two years ago.
Flextech bought the Way Ahead stake for about £9m in 1999 before its merger with Telewest. Way Ahead last year made profits of £1.67m.

"Motel six this is not!" exclaimed Jake, when we saw our room. "No damn TV, hell, not even a toilet."
"I think those are down in back," I replied, "This isn't even low budget European style."
"Do we do a bedbug check now or in the morning?" asked Jake as he stood frowning at the mattress.
"It was cheap," I replied, "What more do you want?" Jake laughed,
"I wonder how many husbands justified their choice of hotel or motel rooms to their wives over the years with a comment like that," chuckled Jake. "Well we've got five hours of rack time let's use it. Lying on the bed with all our clothes of we were able to get a modicum of sleep. but around three in the morning, something had woke me up.
"I heard it too," whispered Jake, "Someone's standing outside the door."
"Watch that window," I whispered. Jake slowly picked up his AK and very slowly charged it. I did the same with my shotgun, leveling it at the door. Suddenly the door crashed in, as I just started pulling the trigger, Jake did the same with his AK as two men coming through the door were propelled into the hall by continuous blasts of three inch twelve gauge double ought buck. In the meantime one man crashing through the window was cut in half by Jake's AK. We were out of the bed immediately reloading and grabbing our gear. The whole place was in an uproar, two men I had seen in the saloon were charging up the stairs but I took off both their heads as Jake and I prepared to fight our way out of the place. While Jake watched my back, we started down the stairs, the desk clerk started to aim a shotgun at me but he got a load of buck in the face for his trouble. We chose the back door to leave by, two men came around the corner but ran into a shitstorm of fire. Suddenly a woman's voice called out.
"Over here, they're watching the stable, get on, hurry!" It was Emma, mounted on a horse holding the reigns of our mounts.
"Hurry!" we saddled up and along with Emma, cleared town amid sporadic shooting in our direction.

Tim Walker, Junior, Central Alabama Community College, No. 1 ranked junior college player in the nation
"Tim is originally from Australia. I actually was looking into getting him to Meridian Community College when I was still there. Because of that I knew about him and kept my eye on him when he went to Central Alabama. He had a pretty good freshman year. He was a good, solid player. He had a good summer but then came out in the fall and never finished worse than second in the five tournaments that he played in. He wound up being ranked the No. 1 player in the country. He had several offers from really big programs but I believe my connections with him and the fact that we had Joe (Sakulpolphaisan) here, also a junior college guy who he had heard about. Plus, he had played with another one of our players, T.J. Morgan. So, I believe he felt comfortable here.
"What we like about him is his maturity and course management. I've watched him play several rounds, including events at golf courses at Meridian Community College and Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. My dad was the golf pro at the Meridian event, so I knew everything about it. And he did everything perfect at that golf course. That really stood out to me. He really shows a great golf IQ."
Austin Rose, Freshman, Tupelo High School, No. 1 ranked player in the state of Mississippi in the class of 2014
"Austin really stood out to us. He was part of their state championship. And he won the individual 6A state championship last year. He's the number one player in his class of 2014. The thing about Austin is he has been a Bulldog fan his entire life. His dad, Jim Rose, played golf here (at Mississippi State) in the '80s. He was the golf pro at the Tupelo Country Club for many years. We've always had Austin on our radar for a number of years and he's gotten better and better each year. We are very excited to have him on our team. In addition to us, it was also Ole Miss and LSU recruiting him."
Grant Motter, Freshman, Oak Grove High School, Won the 2010 and 2012 MHSAA individual 6A state championships
"Grant was kind of off the radar because he didn't play in a lot of AJGA events. If you don't play in those type events, then you pretty much don't get ranked nationally. But he just about won every event he played in. He won the high school individual state championship as an 8th grader and as a 10th grader. He finished second two times for the US qualifier for Mississippi, so he's barely missed out on going to our national championship for junior golf. Despite being under the radar, Auburn, Southern Miss and New Mexico were also recruiting him. We were lucky to get him."
Ross Bell, Germantown (MS) High School, Freshman, No. 3 ranked player in the state of Mississippi in the class of 2014
"He is not only a great player but also a great leader. He may not be as powerful as some of the other guys but he's someone that has continued to get better each year. Last year, what really sealed the deal for us is when we went to watch the All-State Sugar Bowl Junior Tournament and he was playing against kids who were committed to LSU, Ole Miss and Auburn and he finished second. And he didn't even play his best. He's a gritty, scrappy player who fits the mold that we want. He's going to be a good player for us."
Taylor Bibbs, Freshman, Cathedral Catholic (San Diego, CA), Member of the USA Junior National Golf Team
"Taylor is really someone who is probably outside of where we normally recruit but he just fit what we are looking for. He kind of fell into our lap. He wanted to major in engineering and he wanted to play in the SEC. His top three were Auburn, Texas A&M and us. There were also several schools out west such as San Diego State, the University of San Diego. But for some reason he didn't want to stay in California. His family is originally from Texas and he wanted to play for Texas A&M but they were full for next year, while we weren't. Plus, he knew some people in San Diego that are Mississippi State fans. He won the (2013) San Diego Junior Golf Association Championship. He's on the USA Junior National Team. He just played in an event in China where he finished 5th.
"We contacted him and he said he was interested. We told him we would love to watch him play. We did and liked what we saw and invited him in for an official visit. He came in for the visit when (the football team) played LSU. He committed that weekend."

by Craig
(South Wales, UK)
A head full of ideas but an empty page in front of me!
My name is Craig and I am a qualified Personal Trainer & Nutritionist. I have actually written an ebook, but it's not that particular book I am writing about today.
Childhood obesity book
I would like to just tell you a little about myself in the hope that you will understand where I am coming from. I am extremely passionate about people's health and fitness and in particular the rate at which obesity is growing around the world. That is why I am actually making it my personal mission to make obesity obsolete!
The funny thing is, I actually believe I can achieve that! I'm not crazy by the way, or maybe there is a very fine line between crazy and passionate!
I have a mission statement that I use and which I wrote myself. I hope you don't mind me sharing it with you. Here goes:
To change the world we have to change minds. To change minds we have to change hearts. To change hearts we first have to open them up to the possibility of change.
Hopefully there is enough in that statement to make you fully understand what it means, if not, then I will happily explain it fully if requested.
Anyway, I will get to childhood obesity as the subject of a book, I promise.
I believe that prevention is better than cure, and in the case of obesity we need to prevent the younger generations from evolving into obese adults, because, sadly, that is the way the trend is going!
However, this can be changed, and the only way we are going to change it is by educating children! I don't mean forcing it upon them in an uninteresting, mind numbing way that lacks excitment and engagement. I mean fun, engaging and exciting education that will not only get children to think about their health but also make them decide to change it for themselves!
The reason I say that is because, we are currently facing an obesity epidemic; child obesity is at the highest it has ever been, so parents obviously aren't doing the greatest job in the world.
If we can get the children to have a change of heart about the food they eat and the activity they take part in, they can then work with their parents to change their hearts. It works hand in hand.
So, to my point...finally!
I have an idea, a great idea, that can change children's minds about food, exercise, health, etc. I know this because my children have been extremely responsive to this idea! I have been using this concept to help my children.
This idea can be adapted into a book series, TV programme, roadshow and more. I have created the characters, who are extremely inventive and relative, and they really engage my son - to the point that he requests a piece of fruit at different times throughout the day because the main characters in the story do so too!
Here's my dilemma: I have the characters, I have the ideas on where to take them, I have the expertise and knowledge on the subject matter. I even have the creativity. What I lack is the writing expertise and even, to an extent, the time!
Is it possible or advisable to join forces with an established writer/author and work together on said project to bring this to reality? My thinking is, an established writer/author will already have the publishing contacts - therefore taking that part of the process out of the equation - and obviously the writing experience.
I am willing to work 50/50 with someone on this, because my main aim is to try and stop an obesity epidemic and not so much do it for financial gain!
I apologise for the very long post, and I look forward to some insightful responses.
Kind regards,
TFL Coach (Craig)

Hi. I have a G5 dual 2.0 Ghz Power Mac running 10.5.8 hooked to my network. I put files in the public share folder on it, then connect via the TV Live device. It shows the files but when I select one to play it starts by showing the file name info just like it does on my Windows Box, but the video never starts playing. I've got a Windows 7 machine on the same network and I have no playback problems coming from that. I've tried it both wired at 100 Mb and wirelessly on a Wireless G connection. My Win7 machine has no problems with HD MKV's on its Wireless N adaptor.
Thanks for any help.
Have you checked if you can access the pictures or music files from the Mac? You can also try creating another shared folder.

"Honey?" came my mum's sleepy voice. She sounded confused.
I pretended to wake up. Sitting up slowly and stretching my arms above my head, I faked a yawn. Blinking in the light from the passageway, I murmured, "Mum?"
"Are you okay?"
"Um, yeah. What time is it?"
"I have no idea. I woke up to go to the bathroom and I thought I heard your voice from your room. I came to investigate. You sounded like you were asking someone if they could fly."
"Fly?" I tried to sound puzzled. "I can't remember what I was dreaming about. Magic pigs perhaps?"
Mum frowned. "You did say something about the person not being capable of much. I suppose that's plausible."
"People talk in their sleep all the time, Mum."
"That's true. Well, you can go back to sleep now, honey. Sorry for waking you."
"That's fine."
Phew, I thought as my mother closed the door behind her. And then I smiled to myself. Magic pigs, indeed.
I woke up at 8 o'clock. Yawning, I remained still under my covers, enjoying the warmth and comfort of my duvet and sheets. I smiled, reliving last night. Last night...
I sat up with a suddenness that made my head spin. Last night, I had decided that I was going to start a relationship with Christopher in his human form.
I dressed quickly, only ate toast for breakfast and was out of the cottage by a quarter to nine. There had been raised eyebrows at my rush to leave, but I'd told my parents that I had arranged to meet a friend in town.
I almost ran across the field of cows between my house and the sloping hills of the village. I soon tired, though, and slowed the pace. I wondered what I was going to say. After thinking up a few greetings for Christopher's parents, however, my thoughts wandered to imagining Christopher as a human. I reached the foot of the only hill with a house built on it, incidentally the tallest, during my wondering of whether he'd still act like Christopher as a human.
My thoughts were pushed aside as it took all my effort to climb the steep footpath. I often had to lean against nearby rocks to catch my breath.
I arrived at the house almost panting from exertion. It was an amiable-looking place, red-bricked, slate-roofed, but many a ghost story was set here, with tales of piercing screams at the dead of night. I mustered up all my courage and knocked on the green door, which was decorated by a painted white rose.
A few seconds later, a tall, friendly-looking man with brown hair and square-framed glasses came to the door, looking like the dad from some kids' cartoon.
"Hi," I said. "Is Christopher in?"
The man almost jumped out of his skin. He looked around frantically, as if worried someone might jump out of the surrounding bushes.
"Who are you?" He glared, as if I'd insulted him.
"I'm Terri, Christopher's friend." He winced at Christopher's name.
"How did you find out?"
"About what?" I asked, confused. Was there something I wasn't meant to know?
"His name," he almost whispered, as if scared of being overheard.
"He...um...told me."
"He told you?" He sounded angry as he continued, "And I'm guessing he didn't tell you his daytime name?"
"Daytime name?"
"Look, do you know what he and his mother are?"
"Yeah, they're v..."
"Not here!" he hissed, interrupting me. "You'd better come in!"
I followed him down a narrow hallway to a cosy looking kitchen. The man gestured at a wooden chair. I sat.
"I should probably introduce myself. I'm sure you've guessed but I'm," he paused and continued in a whisper, "Christopher's dad." His voice resumed its normal volume. "Christopher's very bad for not telling you his daytime name. Too bad I'll have to wait until night time to tell him off. His daytime name's Charlie, okay? You must never call him Christopher by day."
"Why though?"
"Daytime names are used to protect a vampire's identity from slayers."
"Slayers? People slay vampires? But, they don't do any harm, surely?"
Christopher's dad looked at me quizzically, perhaps wondering what I knew about vampires.
"Good ones don't, no. Incidentally, slayers don't see a difference. They're sort of like Nazis - they hate all vampires the way Nazis hated all Jews. They see them as unnatural, and believe the world could do without them. Part-human vampires are incredibly vulnerable by day, with the weakness of a human and the lack of vampire defences (i.e., fangs and an ability to control minds), so if a slayer discovers their name, they can simply track them down and kill them. The daytime name prevents this, and a part-vampire can live in the safety of the knowledge that he won't be hunted during the day, when he can't even remember that he's a vampire."
"I see." I nodded. I felt suddenly scared of the threat posed by my knowledge of Christopher's real name.
"I'm surprised he mentioned none of this. What do you two talk about?"
I blushed. "Nothing much."
He raised an eyebrow, but didn't press further.
"What's Charlie like?" I asked, knowing Christopher's dad would understand.
He looked puzzled. "Have you only talked to my boy at night?"
I nodded. He frowned, but answered my question.
"He's a good, hard-working lad. He's a bit shy, but when you get to know him, he's friendly enough. Wait. What did you say your name was?"
"Terri," I answered.
"Terri, Terri," he said to himself, racking his brains for something. "Terri!"
"Terri." He turned to me, "You must try not to upset him. He'll be incredibly timid of you."
Before I could respond to this strange request, Christopher, no, Charlie walked in. He froze when he saw me sitting at the table. He paled.
I quickly blurted out the first excuse for my presence I could think of.
"Hey! Charlie, isn't it? I'm Terri. I live down at Thistledown Cottage. All my friends are busy and I was really bored, so I hung around the house until my mum got annoyed at me. She told me to go and make a new friend. She told me you lived here, so I thought I'd come and meet you. I'm sure we'll be best friends!"
Christopher's dad looked quizzical and he raised an eyebrow at the last sentence, but he shrugged and said, "I guess I'll leave you two to it, then," leaving the kitchen
I stood up, but Chr -Charlie sat down as if his knees could no longer support his weight. He was very plain. His untidy brown hair seemed slightly duller than in the nights I'd seen him. I tried to remind myself, 'He will be different.'
As promised, I couldn't see the golden glow around him, and overall he just seemed to lack the perfection of his vampire features.
When he finally looked up, my heart warmed at the last of his features. His blue eyes seemed to hint at potential of depths. He gazed intently at me for a while and I had the sensation that if he stared in the right way, he could hold my gaze. I remembered something he'd said last night and wondered what he'd meant by his eyes being less hypnotic by day.
I realised I'd been staring and I averted my eyes. But then, I wondered if I could perhaps end up declaring my love for him after having stared so much. Staring seemed like a good plan.
I raised my eyes to stare at him again. I must admit, I felt slightly silly.
"Do you want to sit outside?" Charlie asked timidly. His voice was painfully as normal as his looks.
"Um, sure," I answered, smiling.
Outside, we sat on the side of the hill which was bathed in sunlight.
"Gorgeous weather, isn't it?" I asked.
I was itching to tell him that I loved hum, but I had no clue how.
"So, what's sort of stuff do you like?"
"Um, reading, listening to music..."
"Same!" I exclaimed, far too eagerly. He looked at me searchingly, perhaps wondering if I was making fun of him.
"What else do you like?" He didn't really sound interested. In fact, he seemed really preoccupied.
"Well, I usually gossip a lot about boys with my other friends." I was trying to create a window of opportunity. I felt this could go quite well.
"Boys," he acknowledged, still uninterested.
"Yeah. If you like someone, they usually know within a week." He looked sharply at me when I said this.
"Does that work both ways?" He seemed interested now, but warily so.
"Oh, I suppose."
"So, you know which boys like you?" He looked slightly worried.
"Only if they've told someone," I replied carefully. He looked relieved.
"Which boys do you like, then?"
"Only one," I answered, trying to sound mysterious.
"Do you mind if I ask who?"
"You," I told him sincerely.

text: AUSTIN, Texas, July 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RetailMeNot.com (NASDAQ:SALE), the largest digital coupon website in the United States, today announced the launch of its new brand campaign that will help consumers learn to spend less while they shop for more of the things they need and want at their favorite stores. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130312/DA74245LOGO) The new campaign includes the roll out of multiple advertising initiatives, including a testimonial-style television ad encouraging consumers to "Spend Less. Shop More" by using RetailMeNot via their desktop, tablet or mobile device. Additionally, last month RetailMeNot launched a new nationwide in-mall advertising initiative aimed at getting consumers to download the free RetailMeNot Coupons App on their iPhone or Android phones (available at www.retailmenot.com/mobile/) in order to save in-store while shopping at their favorite mall. "The millions of consumers who use RetailMeNot.com and our mobile app are savvy shoppers who are able to buy more of the things they want for a lot less money than other shoppers," said Jill Balis, the senior vice president of marketing, RetailMeNot, Inc. "The goal of our new campaign is to highlight how fast and easy RetailMeNot makes it for consumers to get more for their money while shopping at their favorite stores." The new television ad will appear on numerous cable networks, including E!, Bravo, HGTV, Lifetime, VH1, among others.

- Ergon Energy Retail makes last call for new renewable energy partnerships
Published: 17 Sep 2015 3:20pm
Ergon Energy Retail wants to partner with companies that can help it meet a new commitment to source even more renewable energy for its customers.
An Expression of Interest for Renewable Energy Project Developments was released for market consideration recently and will remain open until September 23.
"Ergon Energy Retail has received strong interest from renewable energy project developers in regional Queensland and will soon be asking developers to put forward these projects for consideration," Ergon Energy Chief Executive Ian McLeod said.
"Ergon Energy is already the largest purchaser of renewable energy generated in Queensland including partnerships with sugar mills through power purchase agreements and we are now entering the market to buy an additional 150 megawatts."
Ergon Energy Retail is looking to partner with new renewable energy projects with companies that have a solid reputation in the renewable energy space and can demonstrate their projects will contribute significantly to Ergon Energy Retail meeting its Renewable Energy requirements.
Companies interested in submitting an Expression of Interest for Renewable Energy Project Developments will be able to access more information from Ergon Energy Retail's website at www.ergon.com.au

Whether they're enjoyed with family, friends, or your one-and-only soul mate, breakfasts can be the shared communions of relationships.
Forget the Pop Tarts and doughnuts. I'm talking about true meal-sharing, quietly beginning the day with loved ones— before the intrusions of television, phone calls, and daily tasks interfere. Right now, you may be spending time with persons you see only rarely, or you may be miles away from those you care for. But food being a gift of love, take some time to either share a heart-felt breakfast with those around you, or enjoy such a meal with pleasant thoughts of those far away.
Quiet breakfast, you say? Have you ever seen the noise my brood makes? Not to worry. Get everyone into the breakfast act together. Give them tasks and don't fret if the meal doesn't turn out perfect. It's the time spent together that counts. Enjoy each other.
You may want to use up some of that leftover Thanksgiving meal, with a lavish turkey hash or other Luscious Leftovers recipes. But if you're looking for something more special to make from scratch, try these dishes I've collected below.
Serve the Bacon, Eggs and Cheddar Scones hot from the oven with steaming Earl Grey Tea. The Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake, Blueberry-Sauced Beignets, or Peanut Butter Waffles and a strong hot pot of java will sweeten anyone up—even those who rise on the wrong side of the bed.
Sweets are treats, but savory is my preference. For the ultimate quick and easy breakfast, baked in a pie pan in the oven, try a version of Mama's Dutch Babies. Toss the bagels out but keep the smoked salmon—you'll need it for these luscious Cornmeal Waffles or Crepes. And for those who savor salsa, my Latin American breakfasts include classic Mexican Migas and spicy homemade Chorizo con Papas.
Wake up those sleepyheads, fire up the teapot or kick in the Capresso machine—a special breakfast is calling.
