Celeb tweets lament loss
Some of them didn't take Mitt Romney's loss very well.
Celebrities who supported Romney's presidential bid understandably were upset over the former Massachusetts governor's defeat in Tuesday's election by President Barack Obama. Several weren't shy about sharing their disappointment on Twitter, including:
• Rocker Ted Nugent — "Good luck America, you just voted for economic and spiritual suicide. Soulless fools."
• Real estate mogul Donald Trump — "This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!"
• New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey — "I think I'm going to move to an island somewhere!"
• Actress Patricia Heaton — "At least the president can't blame the mess he's 'inheriting' on anyone but himself."
• Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Matt Carle — "Wonder what the over/under will be for our national debt by Jan. 20, 2016?"
• Actress Victoria Jackson —"I can't stop crying. America died. Thanks a lot, Christians, for not showing up. You disgust me."
• Nugent (again): "What subhuman varmint believes others must pay for their obesity, booze, cell phones, birth control, abortions and lives."
WARREN WIN COSTS KERRY STATE? Tough luck for U.S. Sen. John Kerry.
With the Election Day dust settling, it's increasingly clear that Kerry, D-Mass., probably won't be the nation's next secretary of State.
It's no secret that Kerry badly wants to succeed Hillary Clinton, who will be stepping down; many anticipate that she will make a 2016 presidential bid. But when Democrat Elizabeth Warren captured Massachusetts' other Senate seat on Tuesday by defeating Republican incumbent Scott Brown, it dramatically decreased the odds that President Barack Obama will appoint Kerry to the State position.
If Kerry left the Senate for the State Department, political pundits believe Brown would have an excellent chance of winning a special election to succeed him. But while Democrats maintained their Senate majority in the election, it's unlikely the Dems would essentially hand the GOP a seat.
The top candidates for the job now include Susan Rice,U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon.
Whoever gets the State appointment, we bet Kerry will be positively seething at that nominee's Senate confirmation hearings.
PEDUTO'S PITT STOP. Few things resonate more among nutritionally deprived college students than free pizza. So it's no wonder that Pittsburgh City Councilman Bill Peduto showed up on Election Day at the University of Pittsburgh's student union with pie for the kids.
Peduto told The Pitt News he was only there to encourage people to vote, but we suspect that wasn't the only reason for his appearance.
The councilman has all but formally announced he will challenge Mayor Luke Ravenstahl in next year's Democrat primary. Could it be that he was attempting to line up some votes in May by plying students with free food in November?
TOM WHO? Fame is fleeting. Just ask Tom Balya, former Westmoreland County Board of Commissioners chairman.
The fiery Democrat political veteran — his career spanned decades before he opted not to seek re-election last year — reportedly was not his usual cool, calm and collected self on Tuesday when he was asked to produce identification after he showed up to vote in Greensburg.
Balya's name didn't appear on the registered-voter rolls at the old Armory building on Pennsylvania Avenue.
After the brief stink, the oversight was straightened out and Balya was able to cast his ballot.
NOT QUIET. Despite the best efforts of state Department of Corrections officials to quietly place Jerry Sandusky at SCI Greene, where he is serving a 30-to-60-year sentence for child molestation, other inmates quickly recognized the former Penn State defensive coordinator, according to prison insiders.
Sandusky, 68, was greeted with jeers as he entered his new home at the maximum-security prison in Greene County that houses most of the state's death-row inmates.
Insiders said inmates shouted derogatory names as he was led to his cell two weeks ago.
Prison officials said he'll be in protective custody because of the nature of his crimes and his high profile. He'll be allowed out of his cell for an hour to exercise five days a week. He'll dine alone and receive any counseling in his cell, where he has a radio and a TV.
Sandusky was convicted this summer of 45 criminal counts for sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years; some of the abuse occurred on campus.
He maintains his innocence and is pursuing appeals.
PRICEY SPOTS. The 12th Congressional District race between Democrat incumbent Mark Critz and victorious Republican challenger Keith Rothfus drew more than $10 million in ad spending from outside groups, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Sunlight Foundation.
The nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation, which promotes government openness, said that race attracted the most money from outside groups among all congressional races in the country.
Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform, the lobbying group run by the prominent conservative, was the biggest spender, dropping $2.5 million on ads supporting Rothfus, the foundation reported.
The $10 million figure means outside groups on both sides spent $31 for every vote cast.

I am interested in part-time homeschooling in kentucky.
my DD will be in 2nd grade, and the past two years I have found that there are some things i like about school & others i dont.
example: dd is in speech therapy. public school speech therapy is done in a group, where dd gets approximately 5 minutes of 1 on 1 time each session. I waited for 6 months to get DD into speech, followed all of the school rules, and dd ended up getting a crappy 5 min session. 2x a week! So I take her out of school 2x a week now to do a private speech therapy for an hour. SO much happier with that.
I would really like to do the same thing with other classes, too. DD isnt happy with her gym classes, and I think we could skip guy to let her go to athletic classes she enjoys (gymnastics, ballet, swimming). She also wants to take violin lessons, private art classes... You get the picture. She has a lot of interestes that are covered in school, but not tailored to her. I would like to basically take her out at noon (lunch time) and be able to tailor the rest of the day to her... instead of gym where they just run laps, have her in her gymnastics or ballet classes. Instead of music where 25 kids take a turn on an instrument, have a 30 minute private violin lesson for her...
Ive tried to do this in addition to her regular school day. She is currently enrolled in 2 athletic classes, 1 religion, 2 speech therapy, and art after school/ weekends. Its TOO MUCH in addition to an 8 hr school day, and I would like to integrate these into her school day.
Is there any way I can do this??? DO some schools have 1/2 days for 2nd graders? I think this would be easier in middle school when kids change classes and are not with the same kids all the time (I could work with school and have math, english, science & history early, and she could lunch and periods 5 & 6 to take private music and gym w/o it being a big deal)
But Im worried that in elementary school she would feel bad skipping the last part of the day... w other kids oticing.
We homeschooled, my kids have attended traditional public school, and they now attend a private alternative school.
For part of one year, one of my DDs attended traditional public school part time. This was ONLY an option for us because my DD has special needs that caused full time school to be a bit of a disaster for her and was part of her 504 plan based on her dx of Autism.
Although it was our best option at the time, there were some very serious downsides. Because she wasn't at school full days, she wasn't a real part of what was going on there. Because she wasn't available full days, she also wasn't part of a homeschool group, going on cool all day field trips, etc. Rather than being a part of both worlds, she was a part of neither.
For me, the driving was nuts and my day was extremely chopped up. I honestly found it more draining in some ways than just homeschooling because at least then, I could control the schedule. I have two kids and they were not on the same schedule, and the it was really pretty nutty.
Also, in spite of the fact that she was is middle school, getting the right classes at the right times was still an issue. School is set up to be a package deal.
But I do wonder why your DD's school day is 8 hours -- that doesn't sound right to me. I also wonder if you have other schools that would be a better fit for her -- that is ultimately what we did -- moved her to a school that worked for her.
but everything has pros and cons
sorry, its actually 7 hours.
thanks for your answer, i was worried that she might not feel like part of either world, so its good to have your input.
Ours was a slighlty different situation. DD was among the youngest in her year so when she first started we kept to mornings only for a few months (the rest of the class were full time after a couple of weeks)
It worked well, in that we felt full days were too much for her at that point, she often spent the afternoon asleep. However the system clear was that all the children were there all of the time and doing something outside that norm was not easy on us or the teachers and I;m not sure it would have worked well long term.
There were a lot of little issues. Letters, informal chats with the teacher etc all happened at the end of the school day. I found I had to keep very aware of what was going on as it was very easy for me to miss these things.
DD started feeling like she was missing out, not having work displayed on the wall as art time was in the afternoon, nto getting to play in the play area outside the classroom, again as it happened in the afternoon. The teachers were quite good at letting me know about the bigger afternoon things like vistors to the classroom and rehersals for the chirstmas play but it tended to be the smaller things DD noticed.
I think the main problem with that is that the school schedule is likely not set up so they do all academics in the morning and things like PE/music/art only in the afternoon. The PE/music/art teachers have to have their classes spread throughout the day, so some students will be getting those in the morning and some in the afternoon. And each day is probably not the same..the main teacher probably has flexibility in when they teach what...so on Tuesday she could do science in the morning, but do it in the afternoon on Thursday. I think she could end up missing a lot of what you want her to get in the school and end up having to take part in classes (like PE/music) that you aren't really interested in and wanted to do outside school just due to the schedule.
Homeschooling mom to 4
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Look into local homeschool co-ops and private classes for athletics, fine arts, and therapy. This would put her firmly in the homeschooler side of things but would still give the out and about aspect and less pressure on you for certain days and subjects.
does anyone know of alternative schools in Kentucky... i know when i lived in VA, they had a school that let the kids take off wednesdays... (it was more of a free time thing for the kids whose parents worked and did not want to keep them home wednesdays, they were allowed to hike, etc...)
wondering if there are any schools like that in KY...
also, whats a co-op? can you tell me how they work? is it sort of like a mothers group for older kids where they teach stuff instead of have a play group?
OP, we're an unschooling family in Kentucky. If you can tell me what part of the state you're in, I may be able to suggest some resources.
I want to second what others have said about timing being a big issue. I just finished student teaching in a 2nd grade class. Sometimes we had specials at 1:30 sometimes at 9:15, depended on the day. Also, if we didn't finish something in the morning we continued it in the afternoon. Group projects usually occurred in the afternoon, but sometimes we would work on something all day.
Is there a reason you don't want to just home-school? It seems like if you have the flexibility to come get your dd in the middle of the day to do private lessons, it might work out for you.
The biggest co-op I know of here in Louisville is a Christian one, Home for His Glory, where I believe they have a school day Thursdays and some of the parents who have some expertise teach subjects. They also have field trips I think. You pay a low membership fee for the year. There are several other ones too some are secular, some are unschoolers like the Freerange group, some are Jewish. Some actually have a 1 or 2 day a week formal co-operative school and others just are playgroups/support groups.
Sorry OP, I'm more familiar with the western part of the state (Owensboro, Bowling Green, etc.). Sounds like you've gotten some Louisville suggestions, though.
This is a "learning at school" board. There is also a homeschooling board, which is where your post belongs.
Just as those of us whose kids attend school are not allowed to post on the homeschooling board about why we find school to be a superior option for our children, it is not appropriate to post on this board about why you think homeschooling is better.
You really don't want my opinion on whether or not moms who are not highly motivated to homeschool should homeschool.
but everything has pros and cons

Here was some of my profile. Now we're just looking for like minded married and single friends, maybe more.
I enjoy the outdoors and the water in the summer time. I dream of living on a lake one day. My hobbies include snow skiing, snowmobiling, boating, water skiing, time at the playground, long walks, and just being outdoors. I enjoy driving and take many weekend trips especially to grandmas lake house and the dells. I wish I could travel more and enjoy it so much, but with an active work schedule and taking care of my daughter weekend trips have been all we can do.
I enjoy going out just as much as I do staying in. I'm definitely a home body when it comes to relaxing time. I do enjoy the finer things in life but don't mind working hard for it. I enjoy wine from time to time but not huge on drinking. I'm definelty drug free and my mate should be too.
I have my life in order but looking to share my times with that special someone. I require honesty and integrity and live my life very ethically.
So now that we've found each other we are looking for like minds friends, and femw friends for fun.

His small size makes him perfect to be a scout and courier for the team.For the Original G1 Goldbug see BumblebeeCreationGoldbug was created for the IDW Transformers Continuity and was first seen in Spotlight: Metroplex by writer Andy Schmidt and editor Denton J. Tipton. Goldbug existence was the decision of Schmidt to make the IDW version of Goldbug a character who is separate from the IDW version of Bumblebee. This Goldbug is the IDW universe's counterpart to the Goldbug of other Generation 1 universes, except that he and Bumblebee co-exist.Major Story ArcsIDW ContinuitySpotlight: MetroplexGoldbug and the Throttlebots were assigned to Orvus Base, orbiting Salvvatan VI, to safeguard top-secret Autobot research. Their purpose was to act as couriers in case the lab came under threat, taking the data and keeping it out of enemy hands. When Sixshot attacked the facility, the Throttlebots were the only ones who made it out of the station alive, along with the research information.Goldbug Cybertronian Alt-ModeThey escaped Orvus Base but crashed on Salvvatan VI and quickly found for cover from Sixshot. The planet appeared to be unoccupied, with the exception of a Cybertronian-style city with energon reserves. As they were refueling, Sixshot caught up with them and demanded the research information. Goldbug stated they might not have the information, and asked if he would still torture them. Sixshot said he would, so Goldbug ordered the Throttlebots to scatter.Sixshot quickly took down half the team, even as they tried to counterattack. Goldbug and the remaining two Throttlebots tried to distract Sixshot and then attacked him. The battle eventually took them into a chamber where an "intruder alert" was activated. As the fight continued Sixshot shot Goldbug point-blank in the chest.As Sixshot was about to execute Searchlight, when the city around them awakened. A giant fist smashed Sixshot, followed by a similarly-proportioned foot. Goldbug and his two companions watched in awe at the city that had transformed into Metroplex. Metroplex declared his position had been compromised and announced that he was going to leave and go back into hiding. He told them where to find a shuttle and supplies. Goldbug upset that Metroplex was going to just leave, asked him what kind of Autobot would abandon them. Metroplex replied that he was sorry for them, but his mission was more important, and left.Later Rollbar and Searchlight, who was carrying Goldbug, began walking back to recover their fallen teammates. They wondered how important Metroplex's mission must be and that he must be lonely.Powers & WeaknessesGoldbug is able to get up to 1.8 times more use out of his energon fuel. Goldbug is often called upon at times of low energy resources to perform scouting missions. His visual acuity rates tops of all Autobots, he can spot a 10"x10" object at a distance of 48 miles. His adaptability makes him particularly important in reconnaissance and salvage operations. His small size makes him perfect for missions that require somebody to go unnoticed. His size is also his greatest weakness. Goldbug is physically one of the weakest of the Autobots, and the easiest to damage. His stealth more the compensates for this liability.CharacteristicsAllegiance: AutobotSub Group: ThrottlebotsFunction: Courier/ScoutAlt-Modes: Cybertornian Car, VW Bug (Toy Only)Color Schemes: Yellow/Black (IDW)

On the eve of a revolution in digital pay television, Michael Idato separates the hype from the tripe.
This Sunday, Foxtel launches digital pay TV, and the accompanying hype has been deafening. We've been promised a "genuinely liberating digital television revolution", a mind-boggling range of channels and features, which Foxtel hopes will shake us from our digital lethargy. Confused? Let us clear the picture.
What is digital pay TV?
Digital TV provides a clearer, sharper TV signal capable of carrying widescreen images and CD-quality sound. Digital pay TV promises more than 100 channels at start-up, pay-per-view movies, interactive news and sport, and an electronic program guide to navigate through it all.
Do I need to get a new TV?
Short answer, no. Long answer, no, but the newer your TV, the better the picture will look. For the best possible picture, a widescreen digital TV is ideal, but older TVs take the digital signal though their RF port.
How many channels?
The number on the basic package will jump from 25 to 66, of which 30 are
audio and six are existing channels timeshifted by two hours (for example,
Arena+2 shows Arena's programs two hours later). The top-end package will go
from 42 to 99 channels, including 30 audio and another 10 timeshifted. There are
only 16 genuinely new channels across all tiers: Eurosport News, Fuel, the
Biography Channel, Discovery Science, Discovery Travel & Adventure,
Adventure One, Tech TV, E! Entertainment, Discovery Health, Lifestyle Food, the
How-To Channel, Nick Jnr, Boomerang, VH1, Club [V], and County Music
Which channels will be timeshifted?
FOX8, the Lifestyle Channel, UK-TV, Arena, Fox Classics, TV1, Showtime, the Movie Network, the History Channel and The Comedy Channel.
Do the audio channels carry ads?
Of the 30 audio channels, only Radio 2, a talk channel, will carry ads. Of the other 29, 28 have been packaged by Satellite Music Australia and programmed by mood (lounge, spa, groove, cafe etc) or genre (pop, rock, new wave, soul, dance etc). The remaining audio channel is the BBC World Service.
How will digital pay TV be interactive?
The interactive news and sport services, Sky News Active and Sports Active, will give viewers access to live streaming information. Your digital set-top box has a return path connected to your phone line that allows you to access Foxtel Box Office and two games channels.
Do I keep my existing Foxtel box? What if it's nowhere near my phone?
You will need a new set-top box, but don't worry about the phone. A wireless return path will be available after April, but we are assured that with a little wire-tickling in your roof, the chasm of your lounge room can be traversed.
Blockbuster movies - what's the catch?
They cost $5.95 each (if you subscribe to the top-tier package you get two free movies a month) for an "all-day ticket" (from 6am to 5.59am the next day). They are protected so they can't be recorded on your video, and the range is limited.
So what's it going to cost?
Entry-level pricing rises from $42.95 a month, which cable subscribers currently pay, to $48.95 a month (the current satellite rate). Under a mandate from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, the entry-level price is capped for two years. Top-tier pricing (the "platinum" package) will cost $94.95. The comparable analog package would have cost $97.95 on cable and $103.75 on satellite.
Why does pay TV cost so much?
For pay TV to be economically viable, popular channels are bundled with their less-popular stablemates, so costs can be borne across the board. That said, the experience in the US and UK suggests consumers are driven by price, not content. Some analysts predict that without a cheap $15-to-$25 entry-level option, Foxtel is unlikely to meet its goal of persuading 35 to 40 per cent of homes to take digital pay TV by 2008.
Will I still get all the free-to-air channels?
Foxtel has signed agreements with Nine, SBS and the ABC for digital retransmission on cable and inclusion in the electronic program guide. Until agreements are reached with Ten and Seven, cable customers will only receive their analog signals. Satellite customers, who have never received free-to-air signals, will receive Nine and SBS, but not the ABC, Seven or Ten.
If I have Optus, does this affect me?
No. Optus sells a package of channels, including many covered by its content-sharing agreement with Foxtel. Foxtel will eventually disband its analog service, but as long as those shared channels continue to exist in a digital format on Foxtel, they could be converted back to analog for Optus subscribers.
Can I just stick with Foxtel analog?
Foxtel will continue transmitting its analog service, although it says it will eventually switch it off. You're probably safe until at least 2006.
Improved picture and sound
The hype: CD-quality sound and DVD-quality pictures.
The reality: Believe the hype. The sound and image are superb, even without a high-definition TV set. Foxtel will launch with 44 channels in 16:9 widescreen, including all the Fox Box Office (FBO) channels, 12 of which will also come with AC3 Dolby Digital surround sound.
The EPG (electronic program guide)
The hype: It will radically alter the way you watch TV.
The reality: True. The EPG is impressive and will change the way you search and surf. It includes a seven-day program guide, including synopses and classifications, a search facility by time, genre or channel, a personal planner that presets on-screen reminders when your favourite shows are about to start (or automatically changes the channel for you) and a parental lock.
Pay-per-view movies
The hype: A movie multiplex in your lounge room.
The reality: True, but don't expect to get in without paying for your ticket. Fox Box Office has 27 pay-per-view movie channels, which will carry - depending on how quickly they need to be turned around - between eight and 12 movies, for $5.95 a bite. The pay-per-view showing comes after rental VHS and DVD but before the existing cable movie channels such as Showtime and the Movie Network.
Interactive news
The hype: A news service with eight simultaneous news streams.
The reality: If you're into news, this may be the pot of gold at the end of pay TV's rainbow - assuming Sky and not CNN, Fox or the BBC - is your news of choice. Sky News Active allows you to select from eight simultaneous streams, including the standard Sky News channel, a headlines-only channel, the day's leading story, the Sky UK feed and dedicated sport, business, showbiz and weather channels. The downside? None, except the standard Sky News channel can go full-screen.
Interactive sport
The hype: Multi-camera sport coverage that you can control.
The reality: On paper and in demonstration it looks great: multiple camera angles and commentaries, including stadium sound, live statistics, replays and match highlights. But it applies only to AFL and NRL and initially it will be confined to one live match of each a week.
Pay TV in Australia has had mixed success. It is extremely well-marketed but as a business is yet to make a profit.
Penetration of Australian households has hovered around 23 per cent for almost two years, which contrasts with Britain and US, where pay commands, respectively, 42 per cent and 68 per cent of those TV markets.
In Britain, Sky's market dominance was predicated on the back of Premier League soccer and first-run episodes of many popular US programs. In the US, the attraction is clear reception and plenty of premium programming produced by, and exclusive to, pay TV. Those cable-only programs include Sex and the City, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Queer as Folk and Oz and The Shield.
Exclusive ownership of such premium brands has helped those businesses become established in their markets, and propelled them into profit.
In Australia, however, consumers have been extremely well served by free-to-air television. It is a common complaint that the Nine Network airs The Sopranos too late, but remember that our American counterparts have to pay to watch it - we do not. Also, legislation has kept big sporting events such as Wimbledon, Test cricket and World Cup rugby from becoming bargaining chips in business deals.
As the issues that surround consumer lethargy gnaw away at pay TV industry chiefs, media moguls and television critics alike, Foxtel's spruikers are predicting that the addition of extra channels and new services will lift the Australian penetration rates of pay TV to between 35 and 40 per cent of households by 2008.

We found 1 partner(s) for this hotel
A small and unpretentious hotel located on the seafront, south of Athens. A good stopover place, where you can rest for a few days, far from the crush in the capital.
The tiny centre of Vouliagmeni is located about a ten-minute walk away. Athens is about 25 miles and Cape Sounio is 22 miles away. If you do not have a car, brace yourself for the long trip to Athens: by taxi (10.5 miles) to the tramway at Glyfada and then another one hour by tram, until finally you reach the centre of Athens.
It is difficult to understand the interest in this hotel. This facility is a strange mixture of urban hotel (with a lack of amenities and services), and a tourist hotel (with its proximity to the beach). But it turns out that the town is far and the beach too. Every evening, you have to check the weather forecast for the next day in your room. The beach towels are offered for free and to carry with you. 10 minutes away by foot, the temple of Apollo has free access.
The Plaza was renovated in 2004. The white façade with balconies of wood consists of 6 floors. The marble lobby lacks any kind of furniture and charm as the rest of the hotel. Real effort has gone into the services offered, but although the hotel is quite comfortable, it remains commonplace. The rooms are single, double or triple, an advantage for families. The restaurant area extending onto the terrace, has a beautiful panoramic view of the sea.
The hotel has 72 rooms, including 16 that communicate. They are clean and spacious, with fitted carpets and pleasant balconies. Amenities include a telephone, satellite television (pay per view television), air conditioning, slippers and a safe. The decoration is rather ordinary and all the furniture and colours are rather outdated but still welcoming. The bathrooms are equipped with a shower or a bathtub, a hair dryer, personal skin care products. All tiled, they are very clean.
Two restaurants are at your disposal. The main restaurant is open for breakfast (7 AM to 10:30 AM), lunch (12:30 PM to 3 PM and all day during summer) and dinner (7:30 PM to 1 AM). There is a delicious buffet in the morning and Greek and international cuisine served buffet style or from a fixed menu for lunch and dinner. A large terrace, very pleasant in summer, can accommodate up to 120 guests. The second restaurant has a menu focusing on Italian specialties, only at dinner. The tables are well appointed and, with the terrace, make a lovely combination. The bar is open all day until 2 AM.
There are various opprtunities to go to the beach but you have to walk a minimum of 5 minutes to get your feet in water. Two private beaches in the vicinity offer numerous amenities (beach chairs, sunshades, water sports equipment rentals...). These are beaches with corse sand, but they are quite wide and long. A natural lake, open all year round, is a 15-minute walk away from the hotel, in a nice setting where you can have a drink and bathe in naturally warm water. Remember that the hotel provides beach towels for its customers!

LECHLADE CC coach Luke Sellers is urging other people to follow in his footsteps and use their love of cricket to make a difference in Africa.
The charity Cricket Without Boundaries is looking for enthusiastic volunteers – qualified or unqualified – for projects in autumn 2014 and spring 2015.
Luke has been to Kenya and Uganda in the last 18 months and is hoping to go on a trip again later this year.
He said: "Volunteering with CWB is quite simply one of the best things I have ever done. Both the projects I have been on were truly memorable experiences and I can't wait to go again.
"To be able to use your coaching skills to make a difference and have a huge amount of fun at the same time is fantastic.
"The children over there are so enthusiastic that you can't help but come away with a huge smile on your face."
A typical project is two weeks long and includes coaching in schools, training local teachers and coaches and running cricket festivals.
Groups consist of six to 10 CWB volunteers supported by local coaches from the country's cricket association. Training is given to the whole group at a weekend camp before you leave.
And although coaching sessions in Africa, seem a long way from LCC's Manor Ground home, Luke says the experience has benefited his coaching back in the UK
He said: "As well as being a great way to visit a new country, the projects offer a unique chance for you to improve your coaching, teamwork, communication and leadership skills.
"After coaching in Africa you feel you can handle any challenge in a coaching session back here.
"I can't recommend the experience enough."
Other local coaches to have volunteered with CWB before include Lechlade's John Merrett and David Dunn from Poulton CC.
For more information on CWB, including how to apply, visit www.cricketwithoutboundaries.com.

The execution of Clayton Lockett did not go off without a hitch Tuesday night.
Instead of death by lethal injection, the Oklahoman inmate died of a heart attack, with the complication attributed to vein failure, the Associated Press reported. The state corrections department was using a new three-drug combination, and the botched execution led them to postpone the execution of Charles F. Warner, also scheduled for Tuesday night, for two weeks.
An AP reporter described Lockett as "breathing heavily, writhing, clenching his teeth and straining to lift his head off the pillow" on the gurney while being administered the second and third drugs of the protocol. The corrections department director halted the execution 20 minutes after the first drug, midazolam, was injected.
Lockett's execution was the first time the corrections department used the new protocol, AP reported. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has called for a review of execution procedures.
In June 1999, Lockett shot teenager Stephanie Neiman twice and buried her alive after he and two accomplices had kidnapped her, a friend, and the resident and 9-month-old child of a home they intended to rob, according to the Tulsa World.
In a statement Wednesday, Oklahoma City Archbishop Paul Coakley offered prayers for the girl's family, for Lockett, and for all involved.
He added the botched execution "highlights the brutality of the death penalty, and I hope it leads us to consider whether we should adopt a moratorium on the death penalty or even abolish it altogether."
But Coakley stopped short of advocating himself an end to capital punishment, saying that as people "recover our understanding" that life is a gift from God, "we will begin to recognize that there are and ought to be very strict limits to the legitimate use of the death penalty."
Oklahoma has executed a total of 110 people with lethal injection, and 19 people since 2010, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. The center also said the state has had the highest number of executions per capita since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.
That year, an Oklahoman coroner suggested a three-drug protocol -- sodium thiopental, pancuronium bromide, potassium chloride -- that would eventually become the standard for all death penalty states and used in more than 1,000 executions.
Recent decisions by pharmaceutical companies that produced sodium thiopental, propofol and pentobarbital (two early substitute drugs) to block their use in executions has forced states to seek alternative drugs. A common option has become compounding pharmacies, and some states have taken steps to conceal what drugs they use by including the pharmacies and others involved in the execution as part of the execution team.
In February, a federal judge placed a temporary restraining order on The Apothecary Shoppe, a compounding pharmacy in Tulsa, Okla., to prevent it from providing drugs for the execution of a Missouri inmate.
"How we treat criminals says a lot about us as a society," the archbishop said.
"We certainly need to administer justice with due consideration for the victims of crime, but we must find a way of doing so that does not contribute to the culture of death, which threatens to completely erode our sense of the innate dignity of the human person and of the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death," Coakley said.

Because of their simplicity, slip ring assemblies are typically the first choice for making connection in rotating applications to strain gages, thermocouples, ICP accelerometers, RTD's and other sensors. They are also the primary choice for maintaining communication with and supplying power to PLC's and other electronic equipment used in rotational applications in automated industry and robotics. For most applications no extra equipment is required than would be necessary for a stationary application. Because of their simplicity, it is also typically much easier to troubleshoot and diagnose signal noise and quality issues than in a system utilizing more complex equipment.
|Slip ring assemblies designed to mount on the end of a rotating shaft and make electrical connection to strain gages, thermocouples, or other rotating sensors.
|Weatherproof End of Shaft
|Weatherproof slip ring assemblies designed to mount on the end of a rotating shaft and make electrical connection to strain gages, thermocouples, or other rotating sensors.
|For applications which require the slip ring assembly to be mounted directly on a rotating shaft and make electrical connection to strain gages, thermocouples, or other rotating sensors.
|Weatherproof Tubular
|Weatherproof 4 and 6 circuit slip ring assemblies designed to fit on shafts up to 2" in diameter.
We can modify any of our designs to meet your requirements.
Modifications to ruggedize slip rings for high vibration applications are available for all our slip ring assemblies.
Slip Ring Design and Manufacturing
Michigan Scientific has been designing and manufacturing slip ring assemblies since 1960. We produce thousands of standard assemblies per year. The standard units range from 4 to 36 connections. Our slip rings are instrumentation quality assemblies designed to be used with strain gage, thermocouple and other sensor signals. In addition to our standard assemblies we design and manufacture hundreds of custom slip rings per year.
We have manufactured assemblies for the following custom slip ring applications:
- Sealed for operation submersed in oil
- Used in hard vacuum, some outer space applications
- 240 channel assembly for NASA used to test centrifugal compressors
- Weatherproof, sealed to operate in all weather applications
- Assemblies with thru holes used to mount over rotating shafts
- 52 circuit assembly for NASA used for helicopter wind tunnel tests
- Assemblies with internal encoders and resolvers
- Units with internal tachometer generators
- Units with customer specified connectors
- Units with both instrumentation and power circuits
We have a complete engineering, design, manufacturing and testing facility that enables us to produce the highest quality slip ring assemblies.
What makes MSC Slip Ring Assemblies Unique?
Michigan Scientific Corporation Slip Ring Assemblies set the standard for ruggedness, durability, and efficiency of design. Our assemblies are primarily designed for use in vehicular testing. This testing tends to be very rigorous and demands that the slip ring assemblies be able to not only survive a wide range of dynamic testing environments, but also provide dependable, instrumentation quality signal connection under demanding conditions. Meeting the needs of such demanding applications has resulted in the development of quality slip ring assemblies and accessories that are a preferred choice for any application that requires a quality instrumentation grade slip ring assembly.
Rotational Speed and Position Sensors.
In many applications it is important to know the rotational speed and position of the part being tested. Since the rotor of a slip ring assembly rotates directly with the rotating portion of the application, the slip ring assembly provides an ideal platform for the installation of rotational sensors. We have chosen and developed encoders, resolvers and encoder electronic packages that are both accurate and durable. Through imaginative design and attention to detail, we have been able to package these sensors within the housings of several of our assemblies, creating durable, compact assemblies.
How can I be sure MSC Slip Ring Assemblies will work for my application?
Michigan Scientific Corporation was incorporated in 1960. Since then we have produced slip ring assemblies for a wide variety of applications, from industrial automation to aerospace applications; from heavy construction and agricultural equipment testing to high performance motorcycle development. We have considerable experience in meeting the demands of difficult slip ring applications. Chances are we can provide an assembly to meet your needs too.

I got around to spending a few hours compiling the Franklin discography onto a dedicated Bandcamp page. The goal of course being a clean, easily traversed roadmap of our time as a band for those who may be interested in easily downloaded/digested digital files.
I'm still not sure why it's so important to me to dedicate resources and energy into documenting these materials but the guiding force of, "If not me, then who?" seems pretty logical.
With that being said, please feel free to have a visit to the brand new Franklin bandcamp page located on the internet at http://gokidgo.bandcamp.com. Enjoy!

Jessie Ware – Artist to Watch in 2013
Jessie Ware has an amazing voice, but she's not one for fancy vocal stylings that shout, "Hey! Look at me! I'm singing!" She has a delicately smooth and soulful sound that she showcases with style and grace.
Ware is already fixing to have a huge 2013. She's been nominated for two BRIT Awards for British Female Solo Artist and British Breakthrough. Now the South London up-and-comer is poised to bring her budding success to the States with her EP 'If You're Never Gonna Move,' which will feature songs from her debut album, 'Devotion.'
A risk taker, Ware has previously worked with artists like SBTRKT, Sampha and Joker who have undoubtedly influenced her electronic-vibe with hints of R&B. Looking for another EDM dance hit? You won't find it in Jessie Ware. She's got her sights set on the future.

Set in the magnificent culture of the Middle East more than four thousand years ago, Lilah is a rich and emotionally resonant story of faith, love, and courage. Living in exile, Lilah is in love with Antinoes, a Persian warrior. They have known each other since they were children, and Antinoes dearly wants to make Lilah his wife. Yet Lilah does not feel she can marry without the blessing of her brother, Ezra. She and Ezra are close, and Lilah knows her brother well--he does not want his sister to have a husband outside their faith. Ezra is a scholar of the laws of Moses, and Lilah believes it is her brother's destiny to lead the Jewish people back to the Promised Land. While Antinoes pressures her to accept his proposal, Lilah realizes that before she can consider her own happiness, it is her duty to help her brother accomplish the seemingly impossible task that is before him. Putting herself in grave danger, and with the help of Antinoes, Lilah wins Ezra an audience with Artaxerxes II, the King of Kings, who grants permission to lead the exiles on their journey back to the Promised Land. After a hazardous trip across the desert, Lilah, Ezra, and the thousands who join them arrive in Jerusalem. But the hardship of rebuilding the Temple takes its toll, and the religious enthusiasm of some turns to extremism. Ezra, listening to the zealots, orders all non-Jewish wives and their children banished from Jerusalem. Lilah, whose love for Antinoes has never wavered, is horrified by this command. She knows she must now choose between her brother and her conscience, which tells her that the time has come to defy him. Lilah is a timeless story of one woman's stand against intolerance; it will linger in the reader's mind long after the last page has been turned. From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
Marek Halter was born in Poland in 1936. During World War II, his family escaped the Warsaw ghetto and eventually settled in France. He is the author of several critically acclaimed, bestselling novels. Lilah is the final installment in the sweeping, bestselling Canaan trilogy, which also includes Sarah and Zipporah, Wife of Moses. From the Hardcover edition.

Plan to Rename Bay Bridge after Willie Brown Approved
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Western span of the Bay Bridge is now the "Willie L. Brown, Jr." Bridge.
Despite the objections of Governor Jerry Brown, legislators are moving ahead with renaming the span between Treasure Island and San Francisco after the former mayor and longtime Assembly Speaker.
Opponents call it inappropriate, especially considering that Brown is still very much alive. Brown was the Assembly's first black speaker and the longest-serving one in state history. He remains a major force in local and state politics, and writes a regular Sunday column for the "San Francisco Chronicle."

The objective of this study is to investigate the application of Synchronized Phasor Measurement techniques in real time estimation of power system phasors. The WSCC System is a very large power system network constituted by a number of electric utilitie s and power companies. The system was analysed and equivalents developed to suit the purpose of this project. Using these equivalents, the system was simulated for various contingencies to analyze its behaviour. The purpose is to develop a technique for e stimating the voltage phasors at all major substation buses of the system from a limited number of available real time phasors at a fixed set of substations. The system load flow was computed for various possible loading situations. Various loading patter ns were created around a base summer time load flow case. Using the results from these computations, an empirical relationship was developed between phasors from a fixed set of locations and the unknown phasors at the rest of the system buses.

As Hip-Hop Kings readers are aware, I interviewed Kings of the City last year during their U.K tour with Maverick Sabre, and Kings of the City exclusively performed an acapella of "Make Me Worse" alongside an interview and freestyles (link above). With support from some key tastemakers and DJ's in the U.K Hip-Hop industry, Kings of the City are set to become household names in 2012, and Make Me Worse is a fine example of what to expect throughout the course of the year. You can watch the brand new video from Kings of the City – Make Me Worse on the video player below.

On New York Vs. The Suburbs:
I think of all the places in the world that should never have embraced this idea of safety, family values, it is New York. I mean, they have the whole rest of the country, you know. There are people constantly talking about making New York a safe place to raise children etc. By the way, when I speak of New York, I am obviously speaking of Manhattan, as is everyone else, although they pretend they're talking about the rest of it. I would maybe concede Brooklyn, but not Staten Island. I wish Staten Island would secede. But since they haven't I think we should so that we're not in thrall to that kind of suburban mentality.
On Subways:
I feel very imperiled physically in a taxicab since they have this idea that you can drive 80 miles an hour if you see two clear feet ahead of you. So I really prefer the subway, the advantage of which is at least you can't see the driver. He may in fact be just recently released from a mental hospital, but you don't know it. So it's more comforting to take the subway.
On Opportunity:
New York has been always a place of all kinds of opportunity. As I said before -- even opportunity to be bad. And it's a place of extremes. As life becomes ever more banal, it's important to preserve places that allow extremes of behavior or even extremes of excellence.
On Noise:
You get trapped by noise in New York -- it's almost unavoidable. It seems like if you have noise in your apartment there's no place to leave to get away from it. In other words, if someone next door to you is making noise, they're making noise, you're stuck with them making noise. I feel like I've lost 10 years off my life by noise in New York. And by the fact that in other places there are kind of rules about noise and here it's -- I think it's one of the things people think they get to do when they come to New York. No one thinks about other people at all. You know, like when you were little and you would make noise your parents would say "Be quiet. You're disturbing people." There's no sense here that anyone is being disturbed. People feel they have a right to disturb, which is a right to annoy. I mean, in other places of the country I don't think they drill in the streets in the middle of the night.
On Change:
If you live here for more than five years, they're going to tear down something you like. The invariable rule of thumb is that what they will put up is worse than what they tore down, even if what they tore down is terrible. I mean, I was once with a man who was asked -- during the course of the time I was with him -- to sign a petition to keep them from tearing down Lever House and he signed it. He's a much older man and he turned to me and said, "You know, I remember signing a petition to keep them from putting up Lever House." And that is the story of anyone who has lived in New York long enough.

Wilfred Owen
Dulce Et Decorum Est - Poem by Wilfred Owen
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned out backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.-
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin,
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,-
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Bill Grace (4/2/2015 10:58:00 PM)
He (Owen) was offered the relative safety of a position that he refused. His war poetry is the absolute top of this genre. He was killed but his death more than the millions of others helps us to personalize a loss not only to literature and England but to all of us. I can only think of the phrase by Lincoln: so solemn a sacrifice. Bill Grace (Report) Reply

A word of warning for anyone who intends to use the RIC S. BASTASA reading of 'Dulce Et Decorum Est' Copyright: Kenneth Simcox,2000 at senior high school, IBO or university level. The title 'Dulce Et Decorum Est' is a quotation from the Latin poet Horace (Odes, iii ii 13) , meaning 'It is sweet and right to die for one's country' and Owen quotes the complete quotation in the last two lines. The irony of the title is, as Owen states, this is a lie; it is not sweet and right, it is not wonderful or a great honour to die like this for your country. Base an answer solidly around this meaning.
Stanza two the monosyllabic slab 'Gas! GAS! ' is a cry of warning, extended into the comradeship of 'Quick, boys! -An ecstasy of fumbling'. This is not a 'morbid state of nerves', it is a description of exhausted soldiers, the 'Men marched asleep... All went lame, all blind; / Drunk with fatigue; ' and due to this extreme physical and mental exhaustion the soldiers are 'deaf even to the hoots/ Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.' The 'ecstasy of fumbling' describes all the soldiers, waking from exhaustion into extreme fear, trying to rapidly attach their gas masks to save their own lives.
'Lines 12-14 (does not) consist of a powerful underwater metaphor, with succumbing to poison gas being compared to drowning.' Symptoms of chlorine or phosgene gas are correctly described. The 'misty panes and thick green light, /As under a green sea, I saw him drowning' are accurate descriptions of the green poison gas covering the land. Medically the gas causes the lungs to fill with fluid and the gassed soldiers drown from liquid in their own lungs. The words 'gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs describes, gassed lungs filled with fluid, producing the same effects, as when a person drowns in water.
Stanzas one and two are not 'straight description'. The poetic stanzas are laid out like a sonnet, not a Petrarchan, Shakespearean or Spenserian sonnet, but an Owen sonnet. Owen is end rhyming ABAB ACAC DEDEFD, before extending into stanza three FD, describing a new terror form of warfare, by creating his own distinctive verse form.
Stanza three reflects Owen's nightmare memories of this gas attack. 'As a part of his therapy at Craiglockhart, psychiatric hospital in Edinburgh, Owen's doctor, Arthur Brock, encouraged Owen to translate his experiences, specifically the experiences he relived in his dreams, into poetry'. Wilfred is definitely tormented, haunted with the memory of this gas death as 'In all my dreams before my helpless sight /He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning' attests.
Owen had 'found himself stranded in a badly shelled forward position for days looking at the scattered pieces of a fellow officer's body (2/Lt. Gaukroger) '. Wilfred 'was blown high into the air by a trench mortar, landing among the remains of a fellow officer. Soon after, he became trapped for days in an old German dugout. After these two events, Owen was diagnosed as suffering from 'neurasthenia', shell shock and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital'. Shell shock is a battle fatigue condition, a combat stress reaction with early symptoms including 'tiredness, irritability, giddiness, lack of concentration and headaches.' Continued exposure to artillery shelling and trench warfare caused many soldiers like Owen to suffer mental breakdowns.
Stanza four provides the strongest anti-hero imagery in the entire poem, with the criminal rendering, 'His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin' being absolutely unheroic. Contrast the public memory of how, 'World War I began with great fanfare with long columns of smiling soldiers parading off to war wearing dress uniforms with flowers sticking out of the muzzles of their rifles' with Owen's unheroic descriptions. Not mud but 'we cursed through sludge, ' hardly begins to describe; 'the ground was not mud, not sloppy mud, but an octopus of sucking clay, three, four, and five feet deep, relieved only by craters full of water...' which Owen wrote of in letters to his mother. Owen's 'horrified by the stench of the rotting dead', and rats eating corpses of men are other details Wilfred spares the reader.
Remember stanza four is not 'Owen attacks those people at home who uphold the war's continuance unaware of its realities.' It is Owen's therapy, an exorcism of his experiences. The original 8 October 1917 draft was sent to an audience of one, his mother, Susan Owen. Nor is written 'at white heat' accurate, the poem was revised over several months and not published until after the war, posthumously in1920. 'Harsh, effective in the extreme, yet maybe too negative to rank among Owen's finest achievements; ' Mr Simcox? No definitely not! This is one of the greatest war poems ever written, a remarkable achievement. (Report) ReplyLorraine Margueritte Gasrel Black (10/17/2014 6:30:00 AM)

It means you continue to surprise me.
And it can mean that in a good way, or in a bad way, so listen to the person's tone of voice.
They may mean that they cannot believe how much you accomplish, understand, know, take time to be helpful to others, and such.
Or they may mean it the way my Mom always did -- it was her way of saying "How dumb can one person be!"
I guess in the long run, it means that you have gone one more step down your usual path than the speaker thought a person could go -- so if you're doing good things, the speaker thinks you are pretty great, and if you usually do dumb things, the speaker is beginning to think there is no hope for you.
You never stop impressing me.
in direct translation "you never stop amazing me" Cease is another way of saying stop or end.
you alway continue amazing me
"Cease" means "stop" - so that phrase means, "You never stop amazing me."
You always exceed my expectations
You are full of surprises
You amaze me all the time
For me, it means that you are always full of pleasant surprises
They never stop something for you, the world, or good deeds.
This is a double negative. Just like in math, when
you put two negatives together, they cancel each
other. Never is a negative. Cease is a negative.
To never stop = continue.
Hence... you continue to amaze me.

Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills
Brother Rice hockey rolls to Division 2 semifinal, two wins from avenging last year's loss in finals
By Mike Moore
Posted March 6, 2012
NOVI — Lou Schmidt Jr. believes his team can play better.
If that's the case, the remaining teams in the Division 2 hockey playoffs need to be on notice.
Schmidt and his Birmingham Brother Rice hockey team scored four first-period goals March 6 in quarterfinal action against White Lake Lakeland at the Novi Ice Arena and cruised to a 9-1 victory in a game called by mercy early in the third period.
"Truthfully, we didn't play our best game, and I know that doesn't sound right when we win by eight goals, but it really took our guys some time to get going," Schmidt said following the win that sends Rice back to Compuware for the second straight season. "Once we got that first goal, our guys kind of woke up. ... As the night wore on, I think we really came into our own."
TJ Petzold got Rice going 2:07 into the game, and the Warriors soon unleashed a barrage of shots, and three more goals, in the next eight minutes.
Thomas Ebbing and Russell Cicerone each scored once before Petzold notched his second of the frame and Rice took a 4-0 lead into the intermission.
Lakeland made it 4-1 early in the second, but Cicerone and Ross Haffey made it 6-1 after two periods, and then consecutive goals by Ebbing, Cicerone and Ebbing once more ended the game by mercy with 10:58 remaining in the third.
"We didn't know much about (Lakeland) coming in, other than they had won a regional title and were playing good hockey of late," Schmidt said of the Eagles, who finished the year 9-17-2. "Once we got going, I really liked the way we played. This is a good win for us."
Asked if he was worried about his guys looking past Lakeland at all, given their sub.-500 record, Schmidt couldn't answer quick enough.
"Not at all," he said. "When we won a state title in 2005, we were 11-13 heading into the playoffs. Anybody can get hot this time of year and go on a long run. We respected Lakeland as much as any team we've played this year."
Rice, now 23-4-1, faces Forest Hills Eastern (22-6-0) in the D-2 semifinals at 5 p.m. March 8.
In the other half of the bracket, Grosse Pointe South, now unbeaten in 19 straight games, rolled past Hartland High 11-6 and faces Port Huron Northern at 5 p.m.
The final in D-2, a game where Rice lost a year ago, is scheduled for 10 a.m. March 10.

A rare bronze helmet dating to the 1st century BCE has been unearthed on farmland near Canterbury, south east England, along with a late Iron Age brooch, and fragments of burnt bone.
A shallow circular pit had initially been cut into the natural chalk. Into this, the inverted helmet had been placed. Either just before or just after the helmet had been put into the ground, a quantity of cremated human bone had been placed within it. The brooch was within the upper part of the bone deposit, making it likely that the cremated material had originally been contained in cloth or leather, fastened at the top. With no surviving evidence to suggest that the spot had been permanently marked in any way, it would seem the burial was either isolated, or part of a dispersed cemetery.
Julia Farley, Iron Age curator at the British Museum says: "This is a very exciting find, one of only a handful of Iron Age helmets to have been found in Britain." Dr Steven Willis, senior lecturer in archaeology at the University of Kent, said one was known of in Belgium that had also been used as a cremation container. Andrew Richardson, a specialist with Canterbury Archaeological Trust, commented that helmets like these did not originate in Britain and were worn both by Gauls and Romans in the Republican period.
Currently the bone fragments are being examined and it should be possible to gather information about the individual buried in the helmet.

Ever since we reached a certain age (you can speculate, but we'll never tell), the idea of partying two nights on the bounce makes us want to put on our onesie and sink into that bottom-shaped dent in our sofa forever.
But when you're a celebrity, life is seemingly never-ending whirl of not only parties, but also pre-parties and after-parties. It's a tough life, eh?
Instead of getting an early night ahead of tomorrow's Golden Globes, some of Hollywood's brightest starlets donned their second best dress and trotted along to the Chateau Marmont for a pre-awards party hosted by W magazine and Dom Perignon champagne. So at least there was plenty of free fizz on hand.
Nominated actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams were both in attendance, brightening up the room in some colour-popping frocks - Jennifer in cornflower blue and Amy in emerald green.
Hayden Panettiere - nominated for her role in Nashville - also went for a brightly-coloured look, but didn't quite pull it off. In fact, she left us covering our eyes to avoid looking directly at her.
Elsewhere, Carmen Electra was smoking hot in red, Miranda Kerr and Camilla Belle sparkled in gold and Frieda Pinto and Dev Patel were the cutest couple EVER.
Check out all the pictures from the pre-party in the gallery above, and see all the Golden Globe nominations here.
And don't forget to come back tomorrow for all the Golden Globes gowns!
