Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I'm glad I was in a rush to pick up another pair of tights for my daughter, and didn't have time to order. I was planning to buy her this backpack, but buy being in that rush, I had the chance to see it in the store. I was stunned by how tiny it is. I think we could fit one pair of street shoes and a shirt in it at one time. She's 4, so it's not like she needs tons and tons of space, like I do for my gear, so when I say this bag is too small, we're talking too small for a 4-year-old's dance stuff.
I found this link to the Capezio site with the dimensions (and a higher price tag that Discount Dance), and the measurements are 7.25" W x 9" H x 4.75"
9" high. That's the largest dimension. That's a dollar bill and a half tall, and barely more than a dollar bill side, and less than a dollar bill in depth. On the outside.
It's a cute backpack, and seems well made, but I simply can't recommend a bag that is far too small to hold the ballet stuff of a 4-year-old, never mind it being storage for her street gear while in class.

Black Metal Album Art – Classics Redux/
All, well most, metal writers are members of or ghost message boards. You know, places where like-minded folk with very niche-musical tastes congregate. In fact, Decibel has a forum. You should join and sling your David-sized opinions against dB forum goliaths! Anyway, it's where we digitally travel to pontificate (very important), research (not very important), and, sorry members of the fairer sex, have fun (only when proverbial shit hits the fan). When I discovered a post titled, "Design Cover art upgrades for the Black Metal classics", at a Relapse Records (no official affiliation, actually) alternate universe message board, I had to click it. Now typically these types of posts elicit a chuckle or two but no more than that. Then it's on to other posts, possibly NSFW-type ones while I'm at W, for the good stuff. Not this time. The "cover artists" have some true gems here. Really laughable stuff. That is if you know the artists and the albums Reeelapse forum members are lampooning.
All-too-required legal notice: If you are drinking a beverage (hot or cold or lukewarm) and spew said beverage onto your monitor, keyboard, desk, or laptop we're not responsible. So, put down the "I <3 Squirrels" coffee mug and enjoy. Oh, if you're in cubicleland it might be wise to wear a muzzle (if you have one handy).

A one-on-one with Gov. Sean Parnell about SB 138
Rhonda McBride talks with the governor about natural gas legislation
JUNEAU – With one month to go until the 2014 legislative session comes to close, the House is rushing to finish work on Gov. Sean Parnell's natural gas legislation.
After a debate that dragged on for six hours Tuesday, Senate Bill 138 passed the Senate 15-5.
Leading up to the vote, Democrats introduced 16 amendments, which they say are necessary to fix major flaws in the bill identified by two consultants for the Legislature, who have not been invited to testify at numerous committee hearings held so far.
SB 138 is what's called "enabling legislation." It sets the stage for the state to work on what's been dubbed the "Alaska Liquefied Natural Gas Project" in partnership with three oil companies – Exxon Mobile, ConocoPhillips and BP – as well as TransCanada, the largest pipeline company in North America.
There's never been a partnership like this in state history. Typically, the state and the oil companies have been at odds, but the bill funds the state's efforts to investigate whether ownership in the project is a good idea — and whether the megaproject can find the financing or enough customers for Alaska's gas.
KTVA's Rhonda McBride sat down with Parnell Wednesday and asked him about the amendments and other issues involving the AKLNG project.

Major newspaper publisher Asahi Shimbun Co. said the discovery of 17 virus-infected computers indicates it has been the target of a cyberattack.
On the night of Jan. 9, the 17 PCs were found to be transmitting data, including email, based on commands from an external server. The data leaks may have started in late November, the company said Friday.
The Asahi Shimbun reported the case to the Metropolitan Police Department, where the Public Security Bureau is preparing to investigate it.
The newspaper is also cooperating with a security company to track the data leaks and identify the source of the infections.
The major daily came under fire last year after finally deciding to retract 18 long-discredited stories from the '80s and '90s about Japan's wartime sex slaves issue, and then a botched report on testimony given on the March 2011 core meltdowns at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant by the plant's manager during the crisis.

Hi.. I'm looking for a template with .pds etc… medeival style. Not a shopping cart, just something I can display my custom made work and add and change things. I have experience in photoshop, html etc… Is there a medeival style theme out there already for sale? wordpress, html, psd… anything? If not, can someone make one for me? i don't need exclusive rights to it (don't want to pay 50x the price)... anyway, if you can help that would be great, thanks!
Justin firstname.lastname@example.com
Something like this?
More medeival… you know.. old wood planks and stone,draw bridge, bow and arrows… how much would it cost to have someone make up something like that?
You seem to be looking for something rather bespoke. As such you'd either need to hire a designer or work hard to tune a template to your requirements which would involve buying some good stock photos or hiring an illustrator. I made http://www.yosaibook.com which is a Samurai website but you get the idea of what I'm talking about.
I could do it for you. i understould your vision. Give me an email if you want such a design!

Travel Rally
DC's Travel Industry Rallies to Show Economic Impact of Tourism
Visitor Spending Estimated to be $6.2 Billion in 2012
WASHINGTON, May 7, 2013 — The impact of Washington, DC's travel and tourism industry was heralded today by hospitality leaders who helped make 2012 an exceptionally strong year during DC's annual travel rally. In 2012, a new record of visitors to the District created an economic impact of $4.8 billion, according to IHS Global Insight, an increase of 3.1 percent over 2011. The annual Travel Rally is held in conjunction with the U.S. Travel Association's National Travel and Tourism Week, May 4-12.
"Every visitor to the District of Columbia plays a vital role in sustaining our local economy since they stay in our hotels, dine in our restaurants, visit our attractions and shop in our stores," said DC Mayor Vincent Gray . "An estimated $6.2 billion of visitor spending last year supported more than 75,300 jobs, with wages increasing 3.4 percent. It's important that we continue to invest in tourism and keep DC at the forefront of the consumer's mind."
Additionally, domestic visitation grew in 2012 to an estimated 16.8 million visitors according to a report prepared by D.K. Shifflet, an increase of 4.2 percent over 2011.
"National Travel and Tourism Week is the perfect time to come together and acknowledge the local tourism and hospitality industry, DC's second largest industry behind the Federal government," said Elliott L. Ferguson , president and CEO of Destination DC. "In 2012, it's estimated that our total visitor numbers grew by one million people to just over 18.9 million domestic and international visitors. We are encouraged by this growth, which also translates into a stronger local economy and job market."
2012 marks the seventh consecutive year that visitor spending has surpassed $5.5 billion. The increase demonstrates the year-over-year resiliency of hospitality in the District and the city's dependence upon visitor-generated hospitality taxes. More than half of the sales tax generated by Washington, DC is attributed to visitor spending. The retail sector had the highest growth, at just under 8%, helped in part by strong retail growth from international visitors. Total transportation spending was up over 6%, despite low growth in air travel spending as arrivals were flat and airfares were up only slightly. Spending on food and beverage was up just under 5% while entertainment spending was up nearly 3%. Visitor spending supported 75,300 jobs in 2012, a decrease of 1.3% from 2011. That includes 63,504 jobs directly tied to business servicing the visitors.
"The travel and tourism industry generates major revenue for our city," said Congresswoman Eleanor Homes Norton (D-DC). "I therefore give major priority to maintaining our federal tourism sites, keeping them free of charge, and co-sponsoring bills like the JOLT Act, to leverage the benefits of inbound international travel to the United States to increase economic growth and create more jobs."
U.S. Travel Association is the national organization that works on behalf of the hospitality industry.
"Travel is the engine that's powering America's recovery. It supports one in every eight U.S. jobs and adds $129 billion in tax revenue to federal, state and local governments," said Roger Dow , president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association. "While travel benefits our nation in countless ways every day, the annual National Travel and Tourism Week unites all of us in recognition of its positive impact on individuals, businesses and communities nationwide."
Washington, DC will host 16 city-wide conferences in 2014 including annual meetings of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, Society for Neuroscience, and American College of Cardiology.
Major contracts for future business that were multi-year bookings include American Diabetes Association 2021 and 2027 and American Urological Association 2020 and 2026 have been signed.
"Travel is a force that helps drive Washington, DC as a leading destination – while also generating economic and community benefits for the residents and businesses of the District," explained Gregory A. O'Dell , Events DC president and CEO. "As the official convention and sports authority for the District of Columbia, Events DC hosted, produced and funded events that generated more than $400 million last fiscal year in direct spending for the District's economy – and with the Washington Marriott Marquis, the Convention Center's hotel, opening its doors in spring of 2014, we look forward to increasing our contributions to the city's economic core."
About Destination DC: Destination DC, the lead destination marketing organization for the nation's capital, is a private, non-profit membership organization of more than 850 businesses committed to marketing the District as a premier global convention, tourism and special events destination with a special emphasis on the arts, cultural and historic communities.

Telepresence Applications in the Healthcare Industry
Demands on the healthcare industry are drastically increasing as the population ages. Finding innovative and efficient means to manage escalating costs, accelerate field learning, deliver high-quality care, and maximize use of skilled resources is particularly important for healthcare organizations. Furthermore, organizations that deliver healthcare products and services are managing growing complexity in their supply chains, cost structures, operations, and regulatory requirements. Cisco TelePresence solutions connect everyone, everywhere to help enable healthcare organizations improve the business and clinical workflows that rely on people, expertise, and information. The combined power of telepresence and collaboration applications communicating over the Cisco network helps enable healthcare providers to improve patient care, clinical outcomes, attract and retain top physicians and streamline administration — all at lower costs.
Featured Case Study: Molina Healthcare
Molina Healthcare was looking for ways to increase health plan operation efficiency while reducing costs and improving member and provider experiences. By deploying Cisco TelePresence and Unified Communications solutions, they were able to reduce travel costs by 10 percent, and cut typical meeting times down by 50 percent.
More Telepresence Case Studies for Healthcare
Healthcare Applications:
- Telestroke — Cisco TelePresence technology gets critical-care neurologists and other specialists to patients' bedsides within 15 minutes to quickly assess and take action for stroke patients.
- Mental Health — Cisco TelePresence technology extends the reach of doctors and improves the quality of patient care with telepsychiatry. This application provides access to qualified mental health professionals, reduces long wait times and expedites assessment and treatment.
- Radiology/Pathology — Cisco TelePresence in the radiology and pathology units helps enable faster collaboration between departments and other hospitals, resulting in quicker and more effective diagnoses.
- Dermatology — Cisco TelePresence helps enable dermatology specialists to meet with patients and diagnose remote patients from a central location, improving efficiency and expediting treatment.
- Cardiology — Cisco TelePresence allows cardiologists to confer with patients, general practitioners and other specialists to review patient status to quickly and efficiently determine treatment and courses of action.
- Dentistry — Cisco TelePresence enables dentists, periodontists and oral surgeons to confer on patients, review treatments and determine courses of action.
- Epidemiology — Cisco TelePresence helps streamline the process of studying, collecting data, statistical analysis, documentation, identification of risk factors for disease and making determinations for optimal treatment approaches to clinical practice and for preventative medicine.
- Remote Triage — First responders can visually communicate patient status with emergency rooms via remote tactical telepresence units to prep the ER and receive feedback and direction from ER doctors.
- Surgical Applications — Cisco TelePresence allows surgeons to transform any surgery into an interactive learning opportunity for students, interns and other doctors.
- Prescription Counselling — Cisco TelePresence connects doctors, pharmacists and patients to review medications and assess progress and change courses of action.
- School/Home Health — Cisco TelePresence connects patients with doctors from home or from school infirmaries to make assessments and determine treatments.

Lawler notes that in the Zoroastrian religion of the Persians, the rooster was of the utmost importance.
Her books include The Alchemy of Race and Rights; The rooster's Egg; and Seeing a ColorBlind Future: The Paradox of Race.
His last words were, "Crito, we owe a rooster to Asclepius."
"Cock-a-doodle-doo," he shouted, imitating the crow of a rooster.
I sometimes think I'd rather crow And be a rooster than to roost And be a crow.
He "quoted" the rooster as saying; "Has the preacher gone yet?"
Gunning was dealing with him; and, besides, I wanted to see that rooster myself.
If a rooster crows on your back steps you may look for a stranger.
The river is beginning to show like a silver streak, and a rooster is crowing.
The rooster stopped quite still when he saw himself in the mirror.

Is Anderson Cooper Coming Out Tonight?
Unvogue Magazine apparently exists and says that Anderson Cooper is totally going to show up at their Men's Issue release party at Manhattan's Sapphire Go-Go Lounge tonight, which they've playfully been referring to as "Anderson Cooper's Big Fat Coming Out Party." Though Anderson turned down an opportunity to host the event, he allegedly confirmed he will be attending and the Unvogue staff has been planning wine spritzers (really?) and are coordinating a lap dance called "A.C. 360″ for the occasion. [Gawker] The Unvogue staff seems undeterred by the fact that Cooper was reporting live from Paris last night, though it would be awesome if any of this were true, considering that the Anderson gay rumors have been circulating for nearly six years now. But somehow, I doubt that the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, if he were gay, would choose to come out at a place called the Go-Go Lounge. It should be a grand event with chocolate fountains and mojitos and Elton John singing. But that's just one fag hag's opinion.

Looks like David Foster Wallace will never get a posthumous Pulitzer, to the outrage of his legions of fans.
The efforts were revealed in a Pulitzer Prize-winning series by the Associated Press.
Sig Gissler, the administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes, said this is "not unusual"—it's occurred 11 times before.
Journalist David Philipps was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and for the J. Anthony Lukas Award for a work in progress.
She received the first Pulitzer prize awarded for criticism.
The laurels of Mr. Pulitzer were equally productive of insomnia in the Examiner office.
The American press was divided into two camps: the partisans of Pulitzer and the partisans of Dana.
I remember that once some great utterance seemed necessary, and Mr. Pulitzer telegraphed it from Bar Harbor.
I did not personally know Mr. Pulitzer when I began my duties on the World.
I first made Mr. Pulitzer's personal acquaintance in Paris, where he was living at that time.
annual awards for distinguished work in U.S. journalism, letters, music, etc., 1918, named for U.S. journalist Joseph Pulitzer (1847-1911), publisher of the "New York Globe," who established the awards in 1917 through an endowment to Columbia University.

A $100,000 commitment to The University of Southern Mississippi Foundation from Hattiesburg Clinic will help fund the DuBard School for Language Disorders' 50th Anniversary Campaign and the School of Nursing Building Campaign at Southern Miss.
"Hattiesburg Clinic is pleased to support the DuBard School and the School of Nursing at The University of Southern Mississippi," said Tommy Thornton, executive director of Hattiesburg Clinic. "These two areas are important, not only in providing education in health care-related fields, but they improve the quality of life for residents of South Mississippi."
The gift from Hattiesburg Clinic will be split equally between the two initiatives.
"This gift affirms the forward-thinking leadership role of Hattiesburg Clinic in the regional health services community," said Dr. Michael Forster, dean of the College of Health at Southern Miss. "Hattiesburg Clinic is an exemplary partner and friend of the College and the University."
The DuBard School for Language Disorders at Southern Miss brings the gift of oral and written language to individuals with severe communication disorders through the use of the DuBard Association Methodin direct clinical services and professional training.
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the DuBard School has announced a $2 million fundraising campaign to galvanize the future and longevity of the School. The DuBard School 50th Anniversary Campaign will support operations and capital improvements, scholarships, professional development and research development.
The money generated from the campaign will ensure that students at the DuBard School receive speech, language and academic therapy and see that those pursuing training in the areas of speech-language pathology, audiology, education of the deaf and specialized reading instruction have a place to learn and excel.
"The generous commitment of the Hattiesburg Clinic will help to ensure we can continue to deliver vital services to children with significant speech, language and hearing disabilities as well as the written language disorder of dyslexia," said Dr. Maureen Martin, director of the DuBard School. "Also, there is a direct relationship between services to children and preparing university students for future careers. The Clinic's investment will bear fruit in the DuBard School and elsewhere for many years to come."
The DuBard School was founded in 1962 when a member of The University of Southern Mississippi's faculty needed specialized education for his son. At that time, the president of the University, Dr. William D. McCain, appointed Dr. Etoile DuBard to establish the School for Preschool Deaf and Aphasic Children. The opening of the School was a collaborative effort between Southern Miss, the United Way and parents of prospective students. The first class had just three children.
Fifty years later, the School, which was renamed the DuBard School for Language Disorders in 1996, serves more than 500 children and their families through enrollment, outclient therapy, evaluations and referral services each year.
More than 150 professionals from across the nation undergo training in the DuBard Association Method annually. The School also serves as a teaching and practicum site for dozens of Southern Miss students studying speech-language pathology, audiology, deaf education, science education, human performance and recreation, music, social work and other academic areas.
The Hattiesburg Clinic gift will also support the School of Nursing. The School of Nursing Building Campaign, which was announced on Jan. 18, will help fund a new facility for the School of Nursing at Southern Miss. The state-of-the-art facility, which will be located on the western edge of the Hattiesburg campus, will increase the square footage dedicated to the School of Nursing by 135 percent, providing much-needed space for faculty and students and replacing a facility that can no longer meet the requirements of nursing education.
The new School of Nursing building will allow for an increase in nursing enrollment from the current 550 students to more than 800 and expand new programs in the School of Nursing through student interactive areas, an enlarged and enhanced clinical simulation lab, computer labs and classrooms that will promote the acquisition of knowledge in a positive and interactive learning environment.
"I appreciate the financial investment by Hattiesburg Clinic for the School of Nursing Building Campaign and the investment that they have made in collaborating with us in providing future nurses with the educational environment that will promote the learning of the necessary competencies for future practices," said Dr. Katherine Nugent, director of the School of Nursing at Southern Miss. "The success of the School of Nursing is dependent upon the assistance of our communities of interest and the part they play in our educational mission."
Through the new space, the School of Nursing hopes to increase interaction and partnerships with the community by providing areas for community forums on health and professional nursing issues, simulation space for interdisciplinary training, and foyer and dining space to host receptions.
"The Hattiesburg Clinic has been a long-time, strong partner with Southern Miss, and we are grateful for the Clinic's involvement with these two important initiatives within our College of Health," said Bob Pierce, vice president for university advancement and executive director of the USM Foundation. "The DuBard School and our Nursing program are both about improving quality of life, and this gift from Hattiesburg Clinic will assist each in fulfilling their mission."

Matches may shift from SCG
Page Tools
The Sydney Cricket Ground Trust is confident all of the city's Tests and one-day internationals will remain at their traditional Moore Park base despite a looming bidding war with Telstra Stadium over the rights to host major cricket.
Sydney's oldest and newest big-time sporting venues will be pitted against each other for the rights to stage international and interstate cricket from the 2005-06 summer onwards, after a revolutionary move by Cricket NSW to throw the rights open to tender.
With Cricket NSW able to pick the eyes out of both tenders, the move is certain to result in the Olympic stadium hosting a greater share of cricket than at present, such as interstate games and one-day internationals.
And while traditionalists will recoil at the thought of Tests being shifted from their Sydney home of 122 years, the possibility exists that Telstra will host some Test matches in future.
Underlining what a momentous step that would be, Cricket NSW has said such a decision would need "very careful consideration", mindful as it is of the values of cricket's heritage and tradition.
At the same time, Cricket NSW is also eager to take the game to new areas and reap higher ticket revenue to put more money into grassroots cricket.
Telstra Stadium officials are preparing for an aggressive bid expected to centre on its 82,000-seat capacity being almost double that of the 42,500-seat SCG.
Officials at the Olympic facility have indicated previously their designs that no cricket matches would be regarded as the sacred property of the SCG, Ashes Tests included.
Still, the trust feels it will present a strong argument for all of Sydney's international matches to stay at their present venue, with tradition likely to form a large part of its case.
"We'd be confident about keeping all international matches at the SCG," said trust chairman Rodney Cavalier. "But it is sensible for Cricket NSW to explore all its potential markets."

Who will defend Mideast Christians?
Perhaps the situation in Egypt will resolve itself peacefully. Or perhaps we'll see a long stretch of public unrest before the nation finally stumbles its way into a new form of stable government. But there's one easy prediction to make: Whatever happens, Egypt's Coptic Christians are going to be hurt, unless the United States makes a major diplomatic effort to help them.
About 10% of the Egyptian population (and declining, down more than half over the past century ), these people have suffered discrimination under 30 years of rule by the now-embattled president, Hosni Mubarak. And they've seen that discrimination ratcheted up into open persecution during the current unrest, which began with a car bomb in Alexandria killing 21 at a Coptic church on Jan. 1 and continued through the massacre of 11 Christians in the village of Sharona on Jan. 30.
So why should they expect improvement from a new government? Particularly one in which the radical Muslim Brotherhood is certain to play a major role? The Copts are under the screw, and somehow, every time modern Egyptian history makes a turn, it ends up biting down harder on the nation's religious minorities.
Of course, Egypt's Christians are hardly alone in their suffering. Here's a headline from 2010: "Catholic Bishop Stabbed to Death in Turkey." And here's another: "Islamist hard-liners in Indonesia target Christians." And another: "Iraqi Christians mourn after church siege kills 58." The Christmas season saw 48 killed in Muslim attacks in Nigeria.On Christmas Day, Iran opened its campaign against conversions by arresting dozens of evangelicals. Bombs left on the doorsteps of Christian homes in Iraq killed two and injured 14 on Dec. 30.
On Religion
Faith. Religion. Spirituality. Meaning.
In our ever-shrinking world, the tentacles of religion touch everything from governmental policy to individual morality to our basic social constructs. It affects the lives of people of great faith or no faith at all.
This series of weekly columns launched in 2005 seeks to illuminate the national conversation.
On and on the list goes. The single most dangerous thing in the world to be, right now, is a Christian in a Muslim country.
It wasn't always so. Relations among religious groups were never easy, but in the long years after the spread of Islam in the eighth century, large pockets of Christians — Copts and Maronite Catholics, Greek Orthodox and Syriac — managed to survive.
Intolerance festers
The 20th century was less kind. The genocide of a million Armenian Christians by the Turks from 1895 through 1918 signaled the beginning of an era in which Muslim-majority nations would prove increasingly incapable of tolerating non-Muslim minorities.
The 21st century looks much the same. For a decade now, Western nations have done little to help. Up to 1.4 million of Iraq's Christians have fled since the war began in 2003, and without some kind of aid, there will be no native Christian population — none, not a single practicing Christian community — left in the Islamic countries of the Middle East by 2050.
Not that the news is all bad. The voting in Sudan last month overwhelmingly favored secession by the oppressed populations in the oil-rich south. Assuming all goes as planned, the Christian-majority nation of Southern Sudan will be created this July.
More African than Arab, Southern Sudan might not provide much assistance to minorities in the Middle East. But its existence teaches the lesson that commitment from the United States actually works. In the 1980s and 1990s, a broad political coalition forced the Bush and Clinton administrations to treat Sudan as a rogue state for its oppression of minorities. The 2011 independence of Southern Sudan is a fruit of that effort — proof that, though it might take decades, international pressure can succeed.
Unfortunately, in the years since, America foreign policy has been little concerned with religious persecution. George W. Bush, for example, refused to insist on a non-Islamic constitution for Iraq. And Barack Obama has systematically watered down U.S. diplomacy: Where we once demanded "freedom of religion," a public liberty, we now speak only of "freedom of worship," a lesser and private right.
A willful blindness
This American abdication has produced only more oppression — and it's accelerating at a horrifying rate. Nearly every day since Christmas, Christians have been murderously attacked for the simple fact of being Christians.
Our willful blindness is shameful, and our inactivity is wrong. The United States must preface every diplomatic exchange with an Islamic country by demanding religious liberty and a halt to persecution. And we need to do it now — while there are still a few Christians left to defend in their ancient homelands.

Celery juice is a crucial element of this cocktail; if you don't own a juicer, blend the celery in a high-powered blender, then strain it through cheesecloth, bundling the solids together to extract as much juice as possible. Alternatively, if you live near a juice bar, ask to buy a few ounces of celery juice there.
1-1/2 ounces dry gin, such as Junipero or Hendrick's
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
3/4 ounce fresh celery juice (from about 1 celery stalk)
7 or 8 fresh mint leaves, plus more mint for garnish
Chill a champagne coupe or other stemmed glassware by placing in the freezer or by filling the glass with ice while the cocktail is constructed.
Add all ingredients, except the reserved mint, to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice to the brim, and chill by gently inverting the cocktail shaker about 10 times.
Strain into the chilled glass, and garnish with the small tender leaves of the mint plant, gently massaging the mint leaves between your fingertips to release their oils first.

For those who want to vote in person, it should be possible to go to the polling place of a nearby precinct. However, your ballot may be considered provisional (not counted until they verify that you aren't trying to vote more than once).

Is it me, or does mail-in voting change the whole concept of Election Day? Why is the Registrar pushing for this, to save money? It's a shame, because going to the polls brings neighbors together and makes us a community.

Despite being a confirmed social drinker before I got pregnant, I haven't missed the booze too much. In the first trimester my morning sickness was so bad that I couldn't stomach even the thought of it, and the tiredness meant no socialising past 8pm (bedtime). That transitional period of avoiding alcohol full stop seemed to help with the wine glass-shaped hole in my life when I felt better in the second trimester. As the tiredness has got less though, I've found myself down the pub with mates more often, and it's thrown up a particular problem.
Never having been someone who enjoyed sugary drinks, it's been really difficult to get a non-boring non-alcoholic drink that isn't sickly sweet. Before the bump, I could spend a whole night sipping (okay, glugging) beer or wine, but when I've tried to replace it with the bar staples of juice, cola or lemonade, one is enough, thanks very much. Then I switch to tap water. It's healthier, for sure, but my God, it's boring. I feel like the picture of abstinence, a sober, saintly, mother figure. And I'm not sure I'm ready for that quite yet.
Luckily, I've found that rare bars do cater to the pregnant type by offering alcohol-free beer. The bar staff are liable to look at you a bit funny if you ask for it – sizing you up to see if you display any signs of being a rabid alkie – but it's a great substitute for the real thing and from a distance, it looks just like any other bottle, bizarrely enabling me to feel more like I'm part of the crowd. It's my new favourite drink. How long this will last once the baby's out I'm not too sure – the champagne's already on ice…
Have you found giving up alcohol difficult?

Fined for assault
Two Wolfville men received a fine and probation after being found guilty of a Dec. 29, 2013 assault.
Christopher Ronnan Duncanson, 22, and Marcus Grant Davidson, 23, pleaded not guilty to the charge. They were found guilty of the offence following a trial held May 8 in Kentville provincial court.
In addition to their $260 fines, the pair were ordered to complete 12 months of non-reporting probation.
More fraud charges laid
An alleged serial fraudster will remain behind bars until his next court appearance next month.
Abraham Habash, 30, of South Scott's Bay, has pleaded not guilty to 17 fraud-related charges laid between Jan. 28 to Feb. 11 in several Valley communities between Waterville and Avonport. He will be back in court June 17 for a pre-trial conference on these matters.
On the same date, Habash is also expected to enter pleas on more than 30 additional fraud charges related to incidents that took place in June and December 2013 and in January and February of this year.
He also faces charges of unlawful firearms possession, possession of stolen property and unlawful possession of prescription pills. He pleaded not guilty to 16 charges relating to unlawful firearm possession and to one count of possessing stolen property during a May 5 appearance in Kentville provincial court.
Habash pleaded guilty on Feb. 13 to one count of defrauding Happy Harry's of a value not exceeding $5,000. This matter has been adjourned for sentencing.
Included in Habash's court file are eight fraud charges that were laid in the London, Ontario area in 2013, which have been transferred to the Nova Scotia court system. In total, Habash is facing 64 charges.
A news release from the RCMP issued on Feb. 7 says the Kings District General Investigation Section arrested a Kings County man, Habash, at about 11 a.m. on Feb. 6 near his residence in Avonport.

At the heart of Obama's speech was the attempt to reprogram the American dream from one found in the freedom of individual liberty and owning one's own output, to "sharing" -- and by "sharing" he means the government will own your output.
The socialistic phrases were present:
"They knew they were part of something larger ...
... everyone shared in the pride of that success ...
It will require common effort, shared responsibility,
"I cut taxes for those who need it. Middle class families, small businesses."
He did? Let's examine.
The White House report released this week — ahead of the vote in the Senate Wednesday to extend tax cuts for household income below $250,000 — does mention two years of payroll tax cuts that Obama pushed through in 2011 and 2012, but only when talking about how much money the president has saved American families ...
- In Obamacare alone there exist 20 new taxes, including taxes on medical device manufacturers and other small businesses.
- Obama introduced new taxes on cigarettes and tobacco shops
US News said Obama's taxes "punish" small businesses and Forbes recognized how his tax hikes hit the middle class.
Obama said of the auto industry:
I've worked with business leaders who are bringing jobs back to America – not because our workers make less pay, but because we make better products. Because we work harder and smarter than anyone else.
Except Obama ran Chrysler plants to Mexico and 61% is now owned by Italian company Fiat. GM is heading towards bankruptcy again and it's widely believe that the auto bailout was an utter failure.

GREAT FALLS, Mont. Firefighters across Montana battled four fires Thursday that have already burned 95,000 acres and threatened nearly 200 homes in their path.
The most dangerous is burning about 18 miles east of Missoula near Interstate 90, said Laura McConnell, spokeswoman for the Geographic Area Coordination Center Report, which rates the priorities of wildfires.
The 5,720-acre fire is the top wildfire priority in the nation because of the number of homes — 150 — in its path, McConnell said.
A high priority rating means firefighters are more likely to get resources such as helicopters. A total of 32 active uncontained fires burning as of Thursday had scorched 1.2 million acres nationwide, McConnell said.
As of Thursday afternoon, more than 300 firefighters were assigned to the top priority fire, she said. Residents of about 150 homes in the Wallace Creek area have been asked to consider moving valuables and animals to prepare for a potential evacuation.
Elsewhere in the state, firefighters took advantage of cooler temperatures to establish fire lines on the No. 2 priority Meriwether fire in the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness area north of Helena.
Residents of approximately 80 homes near Holter Lake were allowed to return on Thursday, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Fire information officer Cheryl Larsen said returning residents were warned that the lifting of the evacuation order may be temporary. She said about 40 homes on the southeastern edge of the fire in the Nelson area remain evacuated.
The No. 3 priority fire, the Skyland fire burning along U.S. Highway 2 south of Glacier National Park, was at 19,448 acres as of Thursday morning. A total of 518 people were fighting the fire.
While several campgrounds, roads and trails remain closed, all entrances to Glacier National Park remained open.
The Ahorn fire, which has burned 39,220 acres 35 miles west of Augusta in the Rocky Mountain Front, is the nation's No. 4 priority wildfire.
The blaze moved to the southwest shore of Gibson Reservoir Wednesday as structure-protection crews worked on making buildings more defensible in the Mortimer Gulch area.
The Sun Canyon Lodge has been providing three meals a day for about 70 firefighters working to fireproof cabins in the Gibson Reservoir area.
"People are scared to come out," said lodge owner Dan Campbell. "They think we've burnt down."
The lodge is open, but guests have left as a result of the Ahorn fire, which is burning nine miles to the west. And because of trail closures, the guided trips the lodge offers into the Bob Marshall Wilderness have been brought to a halt.
"Financially, it's a wreck," Campbell said.

Marketers strike a balance between skeptical teens and their cautious parents
Marketers strike a balance between skeptical teens and their cautious parents
According to the Experian Simmons' National Teen Study, released last fall, 59% of 1,847 teens surveyed agree that the Internet has changed the way they spend their free time.
"Social media is just kind of second nature for this audience," says Allison Marsh, VP of consumer insights at AMP Agency, which specializes in teen marketing and is part of the Alloy Media & Marketing company. "They think of this as just an extension of their everyday conversations."
Marsh adds that because of this, marketers trying to promote their brands through social networks need to be about more than just selling.
One of the clearest examples of the value of "Big Picture" messages is the popularity of cause marketing campaigns among teens. Staples had great results with its "Give Back Join a Pack" campaign last fall. Working in collaboration with Do Something, the company asked teens to make a donation to go toward the purchase of school supplies for kids in need. Staples incorporated musician and actor Drake Bell, and singer/songwriter Kellie Pickler and invited their fans to "join their pack" by donating.
Web series engages teens
Kmart's marketing team wanted teens to think of its exclusive clothing lines when it came time for back-to-school shopping. Click to read the case study.
"This campaign had so many elements: The DoSomething.org website, the Facebook page, the GiveBackPack.org microsite. If you didn't want to take action in the real world, you could take action in the online space," says Amy Shanler, director of community relations for Staples.
More than 5,000 pounds of supplies were eventually donated — five times what the campaign had generated three years prior.
Besides causes, teens are receptive to marketing that gives them a platform to express themselves and their concerns. Procter & Gamble's Beinggirl.com is an online community built around its Always and Tampax brands, encouraging teens to create a profile and contribute.
"It's a safe place where they can go for information about changes they are experiencing but are too embarrassed to discuss," says Velvet Gogol Bennett, North America feminine care external relations manager for Procter & Gamble.
Visitors to the site can also enter their names to receive monthly newsletters sponsored by its Always and Tampax brands, offering quizzes, music and free samples to those who join.
When promoting brands to teens marketers must walk a fine line to catch teen interest without embarrassing or annoying them. Jim Joseph, president of ad agency Lippe Taylor and author of The Experience Effect, has years of experience working on teen marketing campaigns, particularly in the personal care realm, and has found an interesting difference in how guys and girls respond to brand messages.
"Girls at almost any age are willing to share anything and everything with their girlfriends — the boys not so much. They won't talk about pimples, personal hygiene, or body issues," he says, adding that the other big difference between the two groups is the role that mom plays in purchase decisions. "Though mom is kind of on equal footing with girls' girlfriends, with boys, she is a bigger part, because most of the time it's mom who decides what products are being bought."
Varsity Brands, Inc., a national cheerleading association, has made community central to the way it promotes its cheerleading and dance uniforms and events to teens. The company created an online community, but it has also partnered with brands like Gatorade and Herbal Essences to offer samples.
"You have to think of them as more than someone who is going to purchase a product. They are also very much concerned about social issues and we feel our message to teens is about the big picture," says Nicole Lauchaire, VP of corporate marketing for Varsity Brands, Inc.
Whatever the differences between the sexes, there may be more differences in the marketing responses of teens overall and the rest of the consumer population. According to a survey from marketing research company Keller Fay Group, teens engage in far more word-of-mouth marketing than the general public. The survey, which drew on the responses of 13- to 17-year-old consumers, found that 78% of teens take part in word-of-mouth about media and entertainment brands, compared to 57% of the population overall, while 67% discuss technology products, compared with just 39% of the total public.
Marketers trying to get their message across to teens have to keep another audience in mind: their parents. Effective campaigns balance being cool enough for young consumers, while emphasizing responsibility to parents.
The recent debacle surrounding the Kardashian Prepaid MasterCard illustrates what not to do. The credit card targeted teen shoppers, and was endorsed by reality show star Kim Kardashian and her sisters. However, a marketing campaign centered on big spending and a product loaded with hidden fees, and the "Kard" caused a public outcry and was pulled from the market.
The Kardashians could have learned a marketing lesson from American Express. To promote PASS, its prepaid card aimed at teens, American Express has focused mostly on getting parents interested in the card, including a partnership with the website iVillage. The initiative, called The Talk, includes an online video series, social media effort and live events around the importance of parents discussing financial responsibility with their sons and daughters.
Speaking teens' language often means marketers must also speak their parents' too.

About the Book
In March of 2011, just after the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, I traveled through North Africa to be there during a vital moment of history, to show my support and to experience first hand the democracy movements sweeping the region. This is a book of the photographs I took on that brief but intense journey through Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt. The text is taken from the emails I wrote home, an informal attempt to communicate what I saw and felt. I publish it here, in the hope that it captures some of the spirit of change and hope that swept the region during the Arab Spring. This is the print version.

Matt Curcio Hi Eve,
I really like the photos. How did you get to be in all those places at the right time? Are you in journalism? I am guessing that you have stories connected to your photos since you seem to have written a good deal. Is that correct? Where are you located?
Great book!
Matt Curcio Could you please show a few pages?

Best Of :: Food & Drink
See: a video interview with Nobuo Fukuda.
Four years ago — fresh out of college — I left the United States and landed on a small island south of Osaka, Japan, where I spent the better part of a year teaching English to children who will grow up to be fishermen, hanging out at way too many Japanese rock shows and eating fabulously good sushi. It was the best time of my life, but it left me with some lingering questions. Questions like what element in human nature drives us to leave behind everything we've ever known, to trade in the comfortable for whatever else is out there, to adventure in foreign lands? Sometimes, you just have to take that journey.
If there is an answer to be had, it may lie within the heart and mind of Phoenix's own Chef Nobuo Fukuda. He took the opposite journey, falling in love with Phoenix four years before I was even born. He found here a place with wide-open spaces full of potential and the chance to build his life the way he wanted it. He left Japan and set up shop here. How can you help respecting the hell out of a person like that?
First, there was Sea Saw restaurant, where Fukuda revolutionized the way Phoenicians thought about and ate high-end sashimi. These days, he's still pushing the envelope of Japanese cuisine at his new restaurant, Nobuo at Teeter House, in downtown's Heritage Square. In a tiny and cramped kitchen, he summons gigantic flavors in his fried soft-shell crab sandwich, his aiolis infused with Japanese chili sauces, and his signature take on sashimi. He regularly exposes Phoenix to something priceless: a taste of another culture. Something I believe we could all use a lot more of. — Jonathan McNamara
New Times web editor Jonathan McNamara would gladly start his life over in Tokyo should the opportunity present itself. He interviewed Fukuda on August 11 at the chef's new restaurant, Nobuo at Teeter House.
When I was a kid, I went to see the World Fair in Osaka. It blew my mind to see so many different kinds of people. They had Asian. They had European invites. In Japan, there is only one kind of people. They had a rock from the moon. They had lines for two hours to see this rock from the moon. I think I already knew I wanted to move out from that small country.
When I'm driving, I listen to the radio. Talk radio. Sometimes music. On the way to work I'm thinking about what else I have to do. When I'm coming back from work, it's usually how dinner was. There's a lot of work, work, work in my mind right now. Maybe some day, I won't have to think like that.
My favorite thing to eat in Phoenix is Vietnamese rice noodle soup — pho. From Da Vang. Between rice noodle soup, pho with beef, and duck soup with egg noodle or seafood with egg noodle.
To me, Japanese cuisine is different in the United States because Japanese food in Japan . . . there are so many different kinds everywhere from high-end to street food to home-cooked to country-style. However, in the U.S., there is usually only one kind — like sushi, tempura, teriyaki, something like this. Very limited. I think in the near future, there will be more variety of Japanese cooking. In New York, different styles of ramen are popular now.
I don't like eating anything I have high expectations for and it doesn't live up. It's that I have such a small stomach. It could be anything, but it should be good enough to use up my time and stomach.
My challenge is it's very hard to get ingredients; especially seafood. Fortunately with vegetables, a lot of local farms are starting to get in more and more and work with us.
If I weren't cooking I'd probably go back to the mountain. I was on a ski patrol for 10 or 12 years.
Without my hands I'd be devastated.
My hero is Bruce Lee? At the age I was watching his movies, I was like, "He is a god."
Before bed I always drink.
This is the little restaurant that could.Amid a sour economy — and even in the middle of the summer slowdown — this is the place that had locals buzzing on Twitter, Facebook, and good old-fashioned word of mouth in 2010.The excitement started with a trifecta: rustic, comforting American eats by chef-owner Charleen Badman; cozy, bustling atmosphere; and rock star treatment for regulars and newbies alike, courtesy of co-owners Pavle Milic and his wife Emily Pullen. Soon, the Stetson Drive gin joint became the Valley's go-to place for top-notch Arizona wines (still a rarity — but not for long, we predict, thanks to Milic's pioneering efforts) and affordable late-night eats as well. Comforting dishes like braised leeks with mozzarella and fried egg, and perfectly crispy jidori chicken have come and gone with the seasons, but Badman has only continued to delight us with new dishes along the way. Cheers to a new classic in the middle of Old Town.
It's hard to imagine that the area near this stretch of East Phoenix used to be the country's biggest cattle feedlot, but a visit to The Stockyards — situated in what was once the Tovrea Land and Cattle Company's administrative offices — can take you back in time to an era when ranching was still a big part of the local culture, and the city's movers and shakers did business over hefty steaks and stiff cocktails. Meat and potatoes is still the name of the game here, with exotica like elk and demurely named "calf fries" supplementing steaks, burgers, salads, and seafood dishes. Settle into a big booth, ogle the cowboy-themed paintings and branding iron chandelier, and enjoy a reminder of when the West was still Western.
Sometimes, you just need a little steak. Other times, you just need a lot of steak. When heaps of beef are what you're after — and you've got the cash — there's no better meal than Durant's 48-ounce porterhouse. Plain on the outside, fancy-pants on the inside, Durant's is a Phoenix institution that's hosted powerful politicos, celebrities, and mobsters alike. Nestled menacingly amidst the sparse yet solid menu of savory steaks and classic cocktails, this massive meal waits to take on all challengers. A slab of meat that would be appropriate to serve your pet velociraptor, this steak's part filet mignon, part New York strip, and all delicious. Order the steak however you want — from blue to well done — and the kitchen magicians will cook it to perfection. That's no small task with a cut that's a good three inches thick. Finish it and you'll be inducted into the illustrious Porterhouse Club, your name engraved on a brass plate affixed to one of several polished wooden plaques that adorn the restaurant's walls. The storied restaurant began offering the 48-ounce Porterhouse Challenge in 1996 and has since racked up a pantheon of more than 1,200 victorious eaters. At $83.25, the 48-ounce Porterhouse isn't for the faint-hearted. But if you've got the money — and the stomach — Durant's won't disappoint.
San Felipe's Cantina is known for many things: decent guacamole, dangerously cheap shots of liquor and draft beer, obnoxious clientele. What it should be known for, however, is the El Gordito Burrito. Also known as "the Fat One," the El Gordito is a big-ass taco de harina made with chicken or steak, rice, beans, and cheese, all wrapped in a tortilla the size of a manhole cover and covered with spicy sauce and melted cheese. If you eat it all in one sitting, San Felipe's will throw you a party and give you a T-shirt — size XXL, of course.Tipping the scales at close to seven pounds, this burrito's a scary bastard. But at only $19.95, you can't afford not to buy it — that's less than $3 per pound! Whether you attempt to eat it all at once or take it home and feed yourself for a week, there's no place around where you're going to find a burrito that gives you more bang for your buck.
When Matt and Courtney Diamond opened their bangin' little "ale house" in a Seventh Street bungalow, it wasn't enough to have a great list of regional craft beers and quaffable, affordable wines. They came up with some scrumptious eats, too, the most beer-friendly of them all being the Coronado Coney, named after the historic district where the restaurant is situated. This is one top dog, a plump, juicy all-beef frank from Schreiner's Sausage, a local institution right up the street. It's tucked into a soft, dense sourdough bun that's lightly toasted, slathered with Humboldt Brown Ale mustard, and sprinkled with red onion. Which really makes the dish — the wiener or the bun? Who knows. It's a good conundrum to ponder over another pint of IPA.

Yet there was the evidence: complex, developed characters; rising action; conflict and climax; heroes and villains.
"I did want a sense of resolution and a sense of climax," Gallagher said.
Here, in the climax of Commando, Schwarzenegger helps this baddy with some plumbing issues.
What he realizes in his moment of climax is both that he and Hannah did connect, and that he and Natalia are over.
It continued to be painful, and he told me to act like I enjoyed it, to help him climax.
In the meantime the nation had risen to its climax of power and wealth, and showered riches and jewels upon its great cathedral.
The type of play reached a climax in the middle of the seventeenth century.
The curtain came down upon the climax, but there was no applause, and the audience silently filtered out into the street.
This was necessary as a climax, for they had performed, not a mere deed, but a ceremonial.
Often, however, there is as much pleasure for the public emotionally in working up to the climax as in the climax itself.
1580s, in the rhetorical sense (a chain of reasoning in graduating steps from weaker to stronger), from Late Latin climax (genitive climacis), from Greek klimax "propositions rising in effectiveness," literally "ladder," from root of klinein "to slope," from PIE root *klei- "to lean" (see lean (v.)).
The rhetorical meaning evolved in English through "series of steps by which a goal is achieved," to "escalating steps," to (1789) "high point of intensity or development," a usage credited by the OED to "popular ignorance." The meaning "sexual orgasm" is recorded by 1880 (also in terms such as climax of orgasm), said to have been promoted from c.1900 by birth-control pioneer Marie Stopes (1880-1958) and others as a more accessible word than orgasm (n.).
1835, "to reach the highest point," from climax (n.). Related: Climaxed; climaxing.
climax cli·max (klī'māks')
The height of a disease; the stage of greatest severity.
See orgasm.

I have a date range, (@calendar_start..@calendar_end).
start will always be the first of the month and end will always be the last of the month. They won't always share the same month.
When looping over this range, I would like to stop at the end of the month, fill in the remaining filler dates (end of the week) and start a new list of the next month (I'm building a calendar as a unordered list).
What is the best method to exit, complete month view and continue on with the loop for the remaining time?
Hope I'm somewhat clear enough…*it's a little late.
Here's what I came up with on my own, as a helper. Would appreciate criticisms
if (day+1).month != day.month
calendar_end = []
if (day+1).month <= calendar_end_date.month
(6-day.wday).times do |count|
calendar_end << '

'
calendar_end << '

'
(day.wday+1).times do
calendar_end << '

'
return raw calendar_end.join("")

On Alec Baldwin's podcast, the 'Girls' star says she is heartbroken when learning that RiRi is back on with Breezy again.
Lena Dunham is among those who oppose Rihanna's reconciliation with Chris Brown. When discussing the influence celebrities have on fans during a chat on Alec Baldwin's podcast "Here's the Thing", the "Girls" actress says she's saddened by the former couple's reunion.
"It's an amazing thing and it's like, it's a platform that you have to take seriously," she says. "Which is why sometimes it's like I used to be really into Rihanna, that pop star, and then it's like again, I don't want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on Instagram."
"I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna," she continues. "Like you know, she left Barbados, she's had this amazing career, she's won a Grammy... She's talented."
"And then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed," the actress rants. "And it cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I'm 95 years old."
Lena has been very vocals about her objection to RiRi's reunion with Breezy, three years after the two's infamous physical altercation. Last February, she tweeted, "Rihanna and Chris Brown's new duets make me want to go hide under Gloria Steinem's bed for 72 hours."

Five tips for beginner Vancouver runners in 2013
It's probably a safe bet that many people will decide to start running as a New Year's resolution. I think it's an awesome idea. For me, recreational running has been a great way to stay fit and challenge myself. Since it isn't the easiest habit to pick up, I thought I'd share five tips that have helped me stick with it over the years.
Start slow
Running is tough. There's no way around it. But it doesn't need to be a lung-searing, knee-busting experience. Only increase the time, distance, and pace you run gradually to avoid injuries and stay motivated. A great approach for newcomers is training sessions that mix walking and running. Check out this beginners guide from Runner's World magazine for some ideas. And as long as you do at least some running, you're as "real" a runner as anybody.
Be patient
Last summer, British track star Mo Farah stunned the world by winning a rare double gold at the London Olympics (Here's video of the 10,000-metre and 5,000-metre finals). For the 29 year old, the highlight of his athletic career came after more than 15 years of training and racing. While an extraordinary example, it shows what running is all about: delayed gratification. Don't expect big things right away, but count on good results if you put in consistent work.
Set goals
It could be running one mile without stopping, jogging three times every week, or, heck, maybe even completing the 125-kilometre Canadian Death Race ultramarathon in Grande Cache, Alta. Pick a concrete goal to stay motivated and give your training a purpose. Signing up for a spring road race can help. In Vancouver, the 10-kilometre Sun Run in April is by far the most popular, but there are also many smaller (and shorter!) events, like the St. Patrick's Day 5k or the Dave Reed Spring Classic 5k, both in March.
Stay healthy
I could go for a run after an all-nighter scarfing hot dogs and chugging beer. But, in my experience, running is more enjoyable when I eat well and get enough sleep (I'll let the experts tell you what constitutes proper nutrition and rest). Taking care of your feet is important too. Buy some well-made, comfortable running shoes and socks (Again, the experts can tell you what's best here). In Vancouver, visit Forerunners, the Running Room, or Rackets & Runners to check out the latest footwear and test drive a pair. These stores also organize running groups and clinics.
Have fun
What are you into? Zoning out on a treadmill with your iPod, chatting with a friend while you jog to Starbucks, getting muddy on the North Shore trails, joining a competitive running club like VFAC? There's no right way to get into running. But however you do it, have fun.
I hope these tips help. If you have any others, feel free to share them in the comments section below.

Matthew Morrison Gossip
Matthew Morrison gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Gwyneth Paltrow: Swifty for her star
GOOP received her star on the Walk of Fame today. Totally masturbatory exercise, obviously, in time to support Country Strong. Which is why Tim McGraw and Shana Feste were there, her co-star and director, and also Faith Hill, and Matthew Morrison too, just to remind you that she sang on Glee. By the way, it was confirmed today that she'd be back on the show for a second appearance. Full Story
Glee: Boys sing girls sing boys
Written by Duana So, previously on Glee, one shot of the Rocky Horror show, followed by a whole bunch of half baked storylines we haven't seen in weeks. It's like they plot the show with huge holes in between for the musical episodes without plot that guest stars need to be in, you know? Okay, so Sam and Finn are discussing how they're dating "the only two girls at school who won't put out". Full Story
The Rocky Horror Glee Show
Written by Duana Well. I mean, the polarizing starts well before the show does. If you care about Rocky Horror, you've seen it done better. If you don't, you're waiting, tired, for the show to get going. So. They start the show and of course, of course Rachel and and Finn are going to be Brad and Janet. Full Story
Cammie doesn't wallow
Last week she took a handsome mystery man back to her hotel after dinner. This weekend in LA she enjoyed some action with Matthew Morrison. Needless to say, Cameron Diaz is certainly not wallowing in heartbreak after splitting from Alex Rodriguez. Kate Hudson didn't either. There's a reason why he's easy to get over. Full Story
Lonely but not alone
Written by Duana I really want to be able to snark on this show but I am in from about minute three, when they get so excited about 'Breadsticks', the delicious all you can eat bread restaurant. Girls making out because "I'm like a lizard, I need something warm beneath me or I can't digest my food". Full Story
The colour of Will's car
Written by Duana I thought that it would be important, when I was writing a review of Glee, to make it somehow different from the ones I write about Mad Men or Gossip Girl. Maybe some cute references to song lyrics, something. But I don't want to. Full Story
Mr Schue's sweet potato Vogue
Um... Matthew Morrison in Vogue. Have you seen it? Damn. I have a lesbian friend who even enjoyed looking at the ab shot. When I had dinner with Matthew, Mark Salling, and Kevin McHale in Vancouver during the Olympics, he mentioned this photoshoot and we all talked about working out and how to get ripped quickly and they told me about this Sweet Potato Diet that a lot of people in Hollywood rely on and you do it for like two weeks, just sweet potatoes, and it sucks all the water and the fat out of your body and, well, the result might be like this. Full Story
We get it, you're the star
Now it's just funny. Now it's just become pure entertainment. Every Monday, let's watch Lea Michele TRY.It's upfront season. TV people parade their wares. Yesterday at the Fox upfronts, the stars of Glee were trotted out in front of industry folks all in service of the fall season. As you can see, Glee only has one star. Full Story
Losing Glee?
I watched the Madonna Glee episode last Sunday before leaving for Barbados. On Twitter I noted that it was fun, the music, remembering the songs... and that's it. Many of you emailed asking about my thoughts, why I never blogged about the episode afterwards. Well... what's there to say? Michelle perhaps said it best when she emailed Duana and me last night after catching up on Glee and wrote: "I'm afraid I'm falling out of love with it". Full Story
Three Glee in Canada
Cory Monteith came home to Vancouver last week for the Opening Ceremony. He went back to LA and couldn't stop talking about his amazing Olympic experience so when Glee gave them the weekend off, Mark Salling and Kevin McHale decided to fly up here too. They told Matthew Morrison (he spent time in Vancouver in the past and he wanted to visit again) so it was the three of them, Glee all over the city. Full Story
Mr Schue isn't gay
That's what he said.New interview with Elle Magazine. Pretty funny, actually. Asks him point blank about those rumours. No doubt you've all seen that photo of him supposedly kissing some other dude in a club? It was a fake. So he claims he's straight, then he and the journalist bitchslap Tiffani Amber Thiessen, and then he fangirls over Salma Hayek. Full Story

SPORTS >>Jacksonvilles upgrades numerous
By RAY KING
Leader sports editor
Renovations of all of Jacksonville High Schools athletic facilities have been an ongoing, and rigorous process over the last few months under the direction of athletic coordinator Jerry Wilson.
Most recently, Jacksonville just got word that it has been approved by the Pulaski County Special School Dis-trict to receive new bleachers in the gymnasium. The JHS gym seats have been a danger for the past several years, and the district released a memo earlier this week stating that they, as well as Mills bleachers, have become a potential liability.
The rest of the improvements, however, have been a direct result of the efforts put forth by Wilson, Jacksonville coaches, parents and boosters of the program. And the process still isnt complete.
Were working on a five-year plan to continue improving the facilities here, Wilson said. We take a lot of pride in whats already been accomplished, and it helps the athletes take pride in what they have.
Lots of dollars has been spent on paint, and lots of volunteer man-hours have been spent painting on the Jacksonville campus.
The bleachers on the home and visitors side of Jan Crow Stadium have been painted, as well as the press box and ticket booths on both sides.
The ticket booth on the visitors side is itself an upgrade. It provides visiting fans a much more convenient entrance and a much shorter walk to their seats.
Visitors will have to park in the old Wal-Mart parking lot, and enter through the gate on the visitors side.
The restrooms have also been upgraded on both sides as well. Plumbing has been fixed and more privacy walls have been added on the mens restrooms.
Although it hasnt arrived, a new jumbotron scoreboard has been ordered and is expected to be on display by the first home game on Sept. 1.
The inside of the press box has been remodeled, including a new air conditioner and blinds in the windows.
Tridents have been painted along Linda Lane leading into the parking lot of the school and football stadium, and the end zones will be painted this season.
Platinum members of the booster club will have a tent set up before home games for tailgating on game days.
Wilson also plans to open the stadium up to the public for walking and running on the track, and adds that security cameras have been added as a precautionary measure for keeping the facility open.
The workout facility, known by coaches and players as the green room, has new weights that were bought by the booster club, and also has its own fresh coat of interior paint.
The middle school is also getting a new field house.
Wilson says all the improvements so far and future up-grades are possible because of the resolve of everyone involved.
Were not going to complain about what we dont have, Wilson said. Were going to work to make improvements to what we do have.

However, this is currently incompatible with the psp-handler approach where the environment WK_ABSOLUTE is set to 1. The NewAlgorithm version fails to check the absolute setting, and tries to process the absolute URL as a context. That fails and the default context is used. Any reason not to just put a similar check for absolutepath in the serverSideInfoForRequestNewAlgorithm? Is the intention to have the serverSideInfoForRequestNewAlgorithm replace serverSideInfoForRequest? If so, does that mean that the ExtraPathInfo application setting will be deprecated sometime? -Stuart-

In the case of these entrepreneurs, we have seen many teachers and students rely on patented technology entrepreneurship mode, even stretched because of the R & D process, and continue to do the marathon R & D across three generations of teachers and students. Some college students after school engaged in Internet business, entrepreneurial team and have work experience seniors, into large companies and stock dividends incentive aside, dedicated to fight a pioneering future. This embrace of enthusiastic entrepreneurs face, but also a symbol of the competitiveness of universities; between entrepreneurship and employment, their decision to choose one of the most restless, perhaps, but it is the most competitive decision.
These new winner of the mask is a young face, but we see more old faces also actively innovation as Changing Faces has revealed the secret that they do not fall to maintain competitiveness.

America's global competitiveness is more the posture of the winner by the length of the newly appointed to a new direction.
