The Phantom of the Opera, Soundtrack
For better or worse, Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of Gaston Leroux's gothic horror/romance novel has done for stage musicals what Spielberg's Jaws did for fish stories, with worldwide sales of its original cast album approaching 25 million. While director Joel Schumacher's film turns on his typically ambitious visual verve, its new film soundtrack recording has been paradoxically focused in scope, yet beefed up dynamically via the brawny presence of a hundred piece orchestra and The London Boys Choir. This single disc version showcases all of Phantom's key songs (a deluxe, double-disc edition is also available), with Gerard Butler imparting a welcome, youthful sensuality to his Phantom, making a fine foil for Emmy Rossum's ever-conflicted Christine. Original show orchestrator David Cullen has fashioned compelling new contemporary arrangements to frame Webber's songs -- which now conclude with the lilting, upbeat new ballad he wrote for the film, "Learn to Be Lonely," sung by Minnie Driver. --Jerry McCulley

Port of Spain - Rain has halted play 15 minutes into the afternoon session on the
second day of the second Test between the West Indies and New Zealand at
Queen's Park Oval on Tuesday.
Coming to the crease after nightwatchman Sulieman Benn was bowled off his pads by Tim Southee in the fast-medium bowler's third over of the day, Edwards saw off the challenging first spells of Southee and fellow seamer Trent Boult before going after their replacements.
Mark Craig, New Zealand's match-winning off-spinner a week earlier, came in for some rough treatment, conceding 43 runs off seven overs.
It was not all due to Edwards' attacking play though as the usually phlegmatic Brathwaite followed in his teammate's wake, using his feet to hoist the slow bowler for three on-side boundaries.
Brought in for this match to replace Kieran Powell at the top of the order, his innings has so far occupied 96 deliveries with five fours taking him to within two runs of a half-century.
Brathwaite's generally patient vigil has been the ideal foil to the shot-making from the batsmen at the other end.
Like Craig, medium-pacer Jimmy Neesham also took some punishment, being carted for 28 runs off four overs.
It took the belated introduction of Ish Sodhi for his first bowl of the match to break the partnership just before the interval when Edwards' indeterminate prod to the leg-spinner's third delivery offered a straightforward catch to wicketkeeper B.J. Watling.
Darren Bravo (10 not out), playing on his club ground, started positively, but in overcast conditions offering assistance to the bowlers and a hint of rain around, an interesting passage of play is anticipated in the afternoon.

From its side at the back part project two rounded surfaces, which give attachment to the arytenoid cartilages.
With some effort the above-mentioned action of the arytenoid cartilages may be continued several tones higher.
This movement of the arytenoid cartilages may best be compared to that of a pair of scissors.
In the second series the glottis appears, by the inaction of the arytenoid cartilages, to be shortened.
When in their natural position the arytenoid cartilages resemble somewhat the mouth of a pitcher, hence their name.
The arytenoid cartilages are two small but very mobile bodies in the form of three-cornered pyramids.
It also furnishes a base of support for two very important structures, the arytenoid (arutaina, a ladle) cartilages.
The cartilages of the ear and the arytenoid cartilages are sometimes the seat of gouty deposits.
Other muscles are connected with the arytenoid cartilages which serve to seperate the vocal cords and to widely open the glottis.

HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One
Generic Company Place Holder HP Business Inkjet 1200D PrinterPCWorld Rating
The HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One has all the features of HP's Officejet 7210 and then adds some, making it an excellent fit for a small office.
Priced at the higher end of the scale, the unit offers the following in return for the added investment: wireless networking, a 2.5-inch color LCD, a duplexer, an additional paper tray, and a bigger scanning area. While you can hook the 7410 up to a single PC via its USB port or plug it into the office ethernet, the unit's built-in Wi-Fi will make it appeal most to a workgroup of notebook users who aren't tied to their desks.
Besides providing printing and scanning functions, the 7410 offers stand-alone faxing and a 50-sheet automatic document feeder that makes multipage copying easier. The 7410 can fax in color, and it can hold 150 a??pages in memory for incoming faxes, in case the paper runs out while you're not there. To print photos without a computer, you can either attach a PictBridge-compatible digital camera to the 7410's direct-print port or slide your camera's memory card into one of four slots, which between them are capable of reading all the major formats. The 7410 doesn't let you read images from a USB flash drive attached to the direct-print port, but you can plug in a $60 Bluetooth adapter that lets you print from suitably equipped phones and PDAs.
The 2.5-inch color LCD is a major improvement over the 7210's two-line alphanumeric LCD. It sits at the center of the control panel, surrounded by sets of buttons sensibly arranged by task (fax, copy, photo, scan, and print). A numeric keypad lets you dial fax numbers, and there are five programmable speed-dial buttons. In addition to using the monitor to preview your images, you can print an index proof sheet, fill in a special mark under each image you want to print, and then scan that sheet to initiate the print job.
The 7210's optional 250-sheet paper tray comes standard with the 7410, giving it a maximum capacity of 400 sheets of plain paper. The duplexer lets you save paper by automatically printing on both sides. While most of the 7410's rivals have letter-size scanning beds, this unit lets you lay down books and documents up to legal size.
Out of the box, the 7410 comes with a pigment-black cartridge designed for high-quality text and a tricolor cartridge. However, you can print with up to six inks by swapping out the pigment black cartridge and substituting a photo color cartridge containing light cyan, light magenta, and a dye-based black. For printing black-and-white photos, HP offers a photo-gray cartridge.
The 7410 is a capable printer, especially when printing black-and-white documents with its pigment ink. We saw nice, dense text with relatively sharp edges. Our challenging line-art test was almost flawless, with just a little horizontal banding that looked more like a wavy watermark. Prints of color graphics weren't quite as good: Images looked a little fuzzy, with slightly dull colors. Using all six inks on glossy paper gave us wonderful photos, with natural-looking skin tones, vivid colors, and superb shadow detail. This isn't the fastest inkjet printer, but results of 6.9 pages per minute for text and 2.1 ppm for graphics do place it above the norm. Our color photo printed on letter-size glossy paper in a speedy 67 seconds.
Our judges awarded a top score to the 7410's scan of our monochrome-resolution test chart. However, when scanning color photos and text documents more like those it will encounter in everyday use, the unit performed less well. Scan speed was not especially fast, with our 4-by-5-inch color photomontage taking 11 seconds (not including the preview). As a copier, the 7410 was both fast and precise.
Whether you're connecting wirelessly to print and scan, or just making copies, the HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One delivers fine quality and excellent paper handling.
Paul Jasper
Generic Company Place Holder HP Business Inkjet 1200D PrinterPCWorld Rating
Wi-Fi and excellent paper handling justify this unit's price. It's well equipped with an ADF, fax, and a 2.5-inch LCD.
- Built-in Wi-Fi and ethernet networking
- Well equipped with an ADF and a fax
- Photo scanning not especially fast

The X-51A is air-launched from under the wing of a B52 Stratobomber. After being dropped from the B-52, it fires a solid-rocket booster to accelerate it to about Mach 4.5. The rocket booster is then jettisoned and the vehicle's scramjet kicks in to push the vehicle to hypersonic speeds of Mach 5–6. This scramjet, a Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne SJY61, was originally intended to be used by NASA's X-43A, which was canceled.
The X-51A is not intended to be recovered after its mission, and falls in the ocean. Only one X-51A remains of those originally built, and it has not yet been decided if this will ever actually fly.

In the spirit of Heroes and Heartbreakers, I'm discussing the inspiration for the hero of my forthcoming book, Bastien Harcourt. Bastien, aka Captain Cutlass, is a pirate. Well, he says he's a privateer, but really, what's the difference? Bastien is charming, he's a rogue, and he, like most pirates, is the ultimate bad boy.
Whenever I mention that Bastien is a pirate, the response is, "Really? I love pirates!" I started to wonder why we love pirates so much; is it because Johnny Depp is so hot as Captain Jack Sparrow? Is it because there's been a dearth of pirate books lately?
Or is it because pirates represent the kind of alpha heroes we find ourselves drawn to?
Conjure the image of a pirate in your mind, and you probably think of a man in a flowing open white shirt, tight black trousers, and tall black boots. He's standing at the helm of a fast, sleek ship with the wind on his face and the crash of the waves at his back. He answers to no one—no man or woman, no country, no law. The pirate is the ultimate bad boy.
What makes a bad boy?
Bad boys are independent. By definition, a pirate is a rule-breaker, a loner, someone who goes against the grain. A pirate doesn't follow society's rules. In fact, he's probably exhilarated by the simple idea of breaking them. There's something very sexy about a man who knows his own mind and follows his own path, a bad boy who makes his own rules.
Pirates were also ahead of their time. Believe it or not, democracy reigned on board most pirate ships. The crew voted on their captain and quartermaster and divvied their plunder equally. Pirates even had a "worker's comp" program for their injured compatriots. Historical records show instances of pirates voting to set aside booty to be used later in the event an injured crewmember needed help. A bad boy with a heart and a sense of justice. Really, is there anything more appealing?
A bad boy doesn't ask, he takes. No, I'm not talking about rape. We're talking bad boys, not criminals. A bad boy takes liberties, crosses the line, and has his own ideas about propriety. My hero Bastien is a particularly charming pirate. I imagine he's always attracted his share of ladies, but he's definitely not the kind of man who would ever touch a woman against her will. Still, he doesn't have a lot of qualms about kidnapping a woman when it serves his purpose. In fact, he kidnaps the heroine Raeven more than once. Fortunately, Raeven is no wilting flower, and she makes Bastien pay for his sins.
A bad boy doesn't back down. Pirates are known for taking risks, taking chances, and taking on bigger, stronger foes. Think of all the pirates in history who ran blockades, challenged ships of the British (or American or French) Navy, or who created their own outposts—and defended them—from invaders. Pirates don't surrender, and they don't back down from a fight.
But the real appeal of the bad boy pirate is that he's fiercely loyal. Bad boys aren't sappy, romantic poets. They don't fall in love easily, if at all, but when they do fall in love, they fall hard and forever. A pirate will risk his life for a friend and crewmember, and this is doubly true for the woman he loves. He'll protect her, fight for her, and be fiercely faithful to her. In short, a bad boy can be a very good boy to fall in love with.
What do you think makes pirate heroes appealing? Is it because they're history's ultimate bad boy, or is it something else?

Is Milbury An Idiot?
by Paul on 04/03/12 at 12:03 PM ET
Comments (61)
from Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
I'm not one for name-calling, as longtime readers can attest. Never have been. So please understand I apply this term here only in the direct spirit of its official Webster definition: Mike Milbury is an idiot.
The definition is "showing foolishness or stupidity." Decide for yourself …
He's an idiot if that's really him giving this interview to Philadelphia's WIP Radio.
He's an idiot if he thinks he can be viewed as a serious national analyst on NHL broadcasts after he assails one specific team for the benefit of momentary yucks from the other side.
He's an idiot if he thinks he can accuse Dan Bylsma of wearing "a skirt" for not engaging Peter Laviolette between the benches Sunday, when Milbury's most recent violent engagement in public involved being charged with assaulting a 12-year-old boy.

Why is everyone skirting around the real issue here, Crosby and Malkin get special treatment no one can do nothing about it.. They can do anything the want with no problems and they cry all they want accusing other players of being dirty. Craig Berube was calling them the direst players on there team yesterday.
Posted by FlyersFan on 04/03/12 at 04:57 PM ET
Well, whatever. I didn't watch the game, but nothing that goes on in the corner during the play should result in a shot on the way to the bench. There should be a very clear crackdown on after the whistle shit. Also, and again, I'm not a Crosby fan, why is it cool with anybody to hit someone who's not looking?

The other thing is, didn't Briere freak the eff out for a month when Ovechkin did to him the same as Schenn did to Crosby (and between the whistles, not 30 seconds after)? Didn't he make a way bigger deal out of that than the Penguins have?
Posted by larry from pitt on 04/03/12 at 05:14 PM ET
i don't understand why people are debating if Milbury is idiot. Look at the writer of the story. All writers today are hacks and look for anything to write about for dying industry. Plus all sports have idiots doing tv.

Is Milbury and idiot? Does a bear shit in the woods?
Posted by CaliforniaPuck31 from San Luis Obispo, CA on 04/03/12 at 06:00 PM ET
Uninformed? Try reading Jones' book about how Clarke treated Lindros. Here's a preview: Dizziness + vomiting -> miss a game = soft and selfish in Clarke's eyes. And now Berube and Briere are frightened for their lives by the likes of Sidney Crosby, an undersized skill player, and Joe Vitale, a faceoff specialist. Both postures are shameful for opposite reasons.
And what's this bit about the "league office." When's the last time the "league office," whatever that is, suspended anybody for slashing another guy in the hip pads? I have your answer—never. Without wood sticks and with the armor modern players wear, that doesn't even leave a red mark, let alone bruise. Suspending for that would be as stupid as Berube cringing in terror over the prospect that someone might get slashed in the chainmail with a noodle during an intense game. Laviolette must have this guy's nuts in the cellar of his whinery. Sad day.

Cy Clarke (Hulk Hogan) writes a blog for, I think, the website the guy who used to cover the Penguins for this website runs. I don't exactly read it regularly and don't recall it being particularly insightful, but also don't have any recollection of strange punctuation or inexplicable Jordan Staal hatred in the little that I read.

This fifth collection of The Three Stooges, which features 25 digitally remastered shorts from 1946-1948, marks the end of Curly's career with the Stooges and the return of original Stooge Shemp. Curly suffered a stroke on the final day of filming HALF-WITS HOLIDAY and retired at age 43. Moe realized there was only one person who could fill baby brother Curly's shoes: his older brother Shemp (who, ironically, Curly had replaced in 1932). The Three Stooges were born in 1925 when Moe and Shemp met Larry Fine. But the 1930's Shemp left to pursue a film career in Hollywood. By the time Moe called in 1946, he was starring in films with the likes of W.C. Fields, John Wayne and Abbott and Costello. But he accepted Moe's offer, and the original Three Stooges reunited. Shemp's first short upon his return was FRIGHT NIGHT . And Curly did recover enough to make an appearance in HOLD THAT LION, but his health continued to deteriorate and he unfortunately passed away in 1952 at age 48. The Three Stooges Collection Volume 5 is bittersweet for the change but filled with more fun than ever?and the added bonus of not only Larry, Moe and Curly, but Shemp too!

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Studio Colfax is at least half a family affair, dreamed up by the sister duo of Rebecca and Sarah Tischler, who, with the help of friends Sara Bruce and Marguerite Specht, opened the artisan boutique on Colfax Avenue last summer. And like the eclectic street itself, the shop is a mixed bag of mysteries and delights. Here you'll find original jewelry pieces and gorgeous, one-of-a-kind, hand-sewn silk panties right next to fancy letterpress stationery and comic art by Colfax-lover Karl Christian Krumpholz. In keeping with the rhythm of the avenue outside, prices are affordable and the vibe is relaxed; drop in next door at Cafe Max for an after-shopping cup of coffee or glass of wine.
Readers' choice: Tattered Cover Book Store
We call it the Tumbleweed Tour. Visitors who want to experience Denver old and new in just half an hour should head to the 1600 block of Wazee Street. On one side of the street is Rockmount Ranch Wear (1627 Wazee St., 303-627-7777), the classic Western-wear company run by the Weil family since Jack A. Weil created the snap-button shirt in 1946. The turn-of-the-last-century warehouse building has been lovingly restored, and today holds a retail outlet full of boots, shirts and Western accessories; there's even a museum of classic Rockmount designs. If this shop is good enough for visiting rock musicians, it's definitely good enough for you. And from a historic look at how the West was worn, you can cross the street to see what's winning the West today: recreational marijuana. The LoDo Wellness Center (1617 Wazee St., 303-534-5020) looks like a Banana Republic store inside — except the stock is all pot-related, right down to the thoughtful bottles of Visine — and on the outside boasts a fading mural by artist William Matthews. After a visit to both spots, you'll be drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
Last year, Visit Denver closed up its old visitors' center on the 16th Street Mall while it outfitted a spanking-new Tourist Information Center just off the mall, one outfitted with B-cycle bikes hanging overhead, a big screen filled with images of Colorado, old-school brochures, and touch-screens to tell you about the latest attractions. But the real draw is the shop in back, which offers all-Colorado products, including T-shirts that are actually made in this state (thank you, Coloradical) and miniature versions of the Big Blue Bear. This is one-stop shopping — for both info and souvenirs.
A day at Four Mile Historic Park is sort of like a day of time-traveling — except there's no DeLorean required, and you don't have to leave this urban oasis smack in the middle of Glendale in order to be transported back to the 1800s. The park is open year-round, and visitors can explore Denver's oldest standing structure, a former stage stop, as well as other authentic cabins and barns, a covered wagon, a tepee and a chicken coop. There's also an orchard and gorgeous swale beyond a peaceful meadow, often the site of special festivals on the holidays.
History tours of Boulder and Denver, brewery tours all over, nighttime ghost tours: Banjo Billy delivers the goods with funk and flair. Patrons can pick their seats on the hicksterish bus (try the recliner, the couch or, uh, the saddle); they also get to vote on just how much they want to hear about various attractions along the route. The knowledgeable guides breeze through the ninety-minute tour with field-tested patter, and it's all over before anybody can quiz you on your expanded knowledge of local culture and trivia. 0x000A
Like an unofficial historian of local commercial lore, Tom Lundin offers a daily dose of Denver in pictures via The Denver Eye. Photographs of Googie-style signs, mid-century-modern motor hotels and Victorian-era theaters share space with vintage restaurant menus and now-defunct department-store advertisements as the page pieces together the Mile High City's past. Though the project started out as a full-fledged website, Lundin moved The Denver Eye to Facebook so that folks could pore over photos and share their own stories inspired by his massive collection of images from Denver's past century-plus.

Questions & Answers about this model powered by
My Kenmore gas oven wont turn on/heat up. The stove top burners will, but the oven wont.
Posted December 06, 2010
Can't locate your model number? Use our finder
Posted December 06, 2010
Joseph , December 06, 2010
i do a lot of baking so i know how important it is to have a good working oven in your home. while you are waiting for an expert answer, i recommend you resubmit your question and include your model number so that the expert will provide you with a more detailed answer. i did manage to find a link that will provide you with more details about your problem. i hope my link is useful.
Street0613, December 06, 2010
yeah. i don't have the model number or anything. we just moved into this house and the oven came with it. we are at least the 4th tenants to live here, so there is no telling where the manual is. i looked on the oven for a serial number or anything that would help, but all stickers have been pulled off. its an older model. our landlord knows just about as much as we do about the house because it is owned by our church and we moved in after we got a new pastor. we cant get in contact with the previous landlord because he moved, and we don't know exactly how to reach him.
Lyle W , December 07, 2010
many of the kenmore gas ranges have a gas shut-off valve on the regulator as shown in the image below. if this valve is off, the oven will not get gas even though the stove top burners will work. i recommend that you check that issue first.
if you do not see that type of tab on the regulator, i recommend that you see if the bake burner has a glow bar ignitor as shown in the second image below. you can normally remove the bottom oven cavity panel to view this area. if it has a glow bar ignitor, start the oven in the bake mode and see if this ignitor glows. if it does, then you likely have a bad ignitor even though it is glowing. if it does not glow, you could have a bad ignitor, a failed control/thermostat, a bad safety gas valve or a wiring failure in the circuit. reply with additional details if you need help with this type of ignition system.
some of the older ranges will have a pilot light for the oven that needs to be lit. reply with that information if you need help lighting the pilot.
you may be able to send us a digital photo of the range since you cannot find a model number. we may be able to provide you with more help once we see the type of range that you have.
i hope that this information helps. get back with us as noted above and we will assist you further if possible.
Joel, April 10, 2011
oven worked fine then out of the blue it quit. the stove top works fine we had a power surge/ brief power outage (30-45 sec) about one moth ago. crashed my main computer. oven worked fine for about another two weeks then it quit. tried unplugging it for a minute or so with no success. how do you tell if it is a bad ignitor ? i dont want to spend a ton of money on an ignitor if that is not it. is there a way to get a fault -error code? what is the proper way to diagnose the problem without costly service call? sorry for the sporadic questions...just typing what come to mind. thanks for the help. model no.790.71312700.
Lyle W , April 19, 2011
for joel: an error code will be displayed on the control when a fault condition exists. i provided the error codes for this model of range in the image below. if you are not seeing an error code, then you do not likely have a component problem that is listed in that document. the second image in the above response shows the theory of operation for the glow bar igniter system in your oven. i recommend that you check the ignitor to see if it is glowing when you start the oven in the bake cycle. you will need to pull up the bottom of the oven and the flame spreader to see the ignitor. if the ignitor is glowing, then most of the components in that circuit are okay. you would need to measure the amp draw of the circuit using a clamp-on ammeter to see if the ignitor is heating properly so that the resistance of that component decreases enough for the proper current to flow through the wiring to the safety valve and open that component so that ignition occurs. if you do not have a clamp-on ammeter, then you can likely fix the range by replacing the ignitor in that situation. if the ignitor is not glowing, you could have a bad ignitor, a failed gas valve, a bad electronic control board or a wiring failure in the circuit. you can unplug the range and check the resistance of the ignitor and the safety gas valve in this situation, the ignitor will normally measure between 40 and 600 ohms. the gas valve will normally measure around 1.5 ohms. use a volt/ohm meter to check those components. if those components are good, you will probably need to replace the control board. you can order parts from the sears parrtsdirect.com website. i provided a link for that website below this response. these tips should help you accurately diagnose and repair this failure. if you need more assistance, reply with additional details,

Just a few days after repelling a home invasion, Lee Holdsworth forced his way into V8 Supercars history by scoring Mercedes-Benz's first victory with an audacious drive in the second race of the Winton 400 on Saturday.
Starting from fourth on the grid in his Erebus Motorsport Mercedes AMG E63, Holdsworth first stalked and then ambushed pole position-winner, New Zealander Fabian Coulthard, to take the lead near the end of the 34-lap, 101 kilometre sprint race.
The breakthrough win ended the long wait by wealthy Eerebus team owner Betty Klimenko to get a reward for her reputed $30 million funding of the squad, which joined V8 racing last year with a squad of Mercedes-badged racers developed in league with the German car-maker's AMG performance division.
But unlike fellow 2013 newcomer Nissan and this year's arrival Volvo, Mercedes-Benz doesn't provide any financial or technical support for the three-pointed star V8 racers, which are funded entirely by Klimenko.
She is reported to have spent more than $20 million on her team's first season last year, with much of that spent with AMG in Germany on the development of a five-litre V8 racing version of the engine that powers the Mercedes AMG SLS sports car.
Brisbane-based Holdsworth, 31, scored the most significant win of his career only four days after his family went through the harrowing experience of a home invasion.
While he was in the shower on Wednesday night, an intruder broke into his home and confronted his wife, whose screams scared the invader away.
A naked Holdsworth rushed to his wife's aid and, grabbing a baseball bat and without getting dressed, chased after the intruder, who escaped.
"It's very emotional," he said of scoring the first race win by a Mercedes-Benz in Australian touring car championship history. "It's been such a hard past 12 months and what happened during the week didn't help.''
After qualifying fourth, equaling the sophomore team's best starting position, Holdsworth quickly slotted into third behind Coulthard's Brad Jones Racing Holden Commodore and Scott McLaughlin's Volvo S60, which jumped from second on the grids into the lead at the first corner.
Saturday's second race was looking like it could be the first V8 championship race win for Volvo as McLaughlin led the first nine laps, only to be told to bring his car in by his team because alternator failure was draining the battery.
Coulthard, who was a dominant winner in Saturday's opening sprint, stayed in the lead until the 32nd lap, when Holdsworth converted his close pursuit into a perfectly executed passing move.
Coulthard's Commodore was struggling for speed on worn tyres and soon after he lost second place to Mark Winterbottom, who had battled through from sixth on the grid in his Falcon.

Thank God for Katy Perry's Breasts
Sometimes the Lord works in mysterious ways. And at other times he works in obvious, and magnificent, and-jaw-dropping, ways.
Katy Perry reveals to British newspaper the Sun that her impressive chest endowment may have been due to the power of prayer.
"I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a nine-year-old, saying my prayers and asking God to give me boobs that were so big that if I laid on my back I wouldn't be able to see my feet," the "I Kissed a Girl" singer reveals. "Eventually that request was granted."
But while the Lord may giveth, upkeep has been up to Perry. The songbird reveals an interesting technique for making sure that her breasts don't run amok in public.
"Every time before I go on stage, or go out where I know there will be a lot of press, I take a skipping rope and spend about ten minutes, fully clothed, skipping," Perry reveals. "I look like Rocky. This way I can ensure that everything is firmly in place and I won't have a wardrobe malfunction…Don't want those boulders doing a show of their own."
Speak for yourself, Katy.

This review is from: Corsair Air Series AF140 140mm Quiet Edition High Airflow Case Fan Single Pack(CO-9050009-WW)
Pros: Good price on sale. I purchased two of these 140's to be intake fans for a Corsair SPEC-03 case. Nice packaging and good looking construction until I tried to install them.
Cons: The plastic screw grommets are molded in the rubber corners of these fans. I ripped two of the grommets out of the rubber and had to Super Glue them back in place. The rubber shock absorbers are a great idea, but the design is very poor. I would not buy these again. I would go with a solid corner without the shock absorbers to avoid these problems.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset
Pros: Price is great and the headset is lightweight compared to others I have owned. (Turtle Beach, Altec Lansing, Logitech)
Cons: I got these as a Christmas present, packaging was intact (no damage and was not previously opened) The factory did not put the microphone in the box. Newegg and Creative will be getting a phone call on the missing mic. Too bad Creative QC missed the boat on the missing mic as I would image that there are more of these out there this Christmas.
Other Thoughts: When the headset was originally released, it was in the 80USD range and is a steal at this sale price.READ FULL REVIEW

The only reason I did not give this monitor 5 eggs is I have only had it one day.

England Lancashire Lancashire Parishes
Chapelry History
Crossens St John was created a chapel of ease in 1837 from and lying within the boundaries of North Meols, Lancashire ancient parish.
Crossens is the northernmost district of the town of Southport, Merseyside, England and part of the ancient parish of North Meols. Whilst most of the village is now within Merseyside, part of northern Crossens known as Fiddlers Ferry, is in West Lancashire. Formerly, Crossens was a detached settlement lying on the western edge of Martin Mere, but after the drainage of the Mere and the expansion of Southport, it had become absorbed into the town's conurbation.
Formerly Crossenes or Crosnes meaning a "ness" or headland with a cross. The cross was possibly a guide for shipping or people crossing the Ribble Estuary from Freckleton (near Lytham). A hospice or lodging house was sited in Crossens where travellers could rest after making the crossing. It is also believed to be the point at which 2,000 horsemen from a retreating Royalist force crossed the Ribble estuary following the battle of Marston Moor. They later joined the battle at Lathom Hall.
"CROSSENS, a hamlet [with a chapel of ease], in the parish of North Meols, union of Ormskirk, hundred of West Derby, S. division of Lancashire, 3½ miles northwest of Southport; containing 582. The church of St. John's was erected in 1837, for the accommodation of the inhabitants, and those of the adjoining hamlet of Banks."[1]

I took tomorrow, the day after Thanksgiving, aka "Black Friday," off. Meaning, I am not working. Not going to court. Not meeting with clients. Not writing a brief. Not going into the office. It's amazing. It's really my first day off since starting my new job. And I do need it.
It's a day filled with possibility. Of doing a million fun things. Or nothing at all.
The only restriction, really, is avoiding all shopping areas. Because I'm not in the mood for crowds.
I have a lot that I want to do. The list includes things like: Read, catch up on my Tivo, see some friends, and sleep all day. So, I know that it will be impossible to do all of it. But I'll try.
So, that's what I'm really thankful for today. A day off. And crazy commenters, like the one who left this last comment here, today, over three years after my original post. "THERE ARE STARVING CHILDREN OUT THERE AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN." Wacko... I love it.

|SSHS top graduates introduced
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
May 1, 2006 - Sulphur Springs High School Principal Chuck King Monday morning announced Morgan Baima and Jeffrey Kramer as the top students of this year's graduating class.
King noted self confidence as a unique characteristic both noted to be a significant factor in their academic achievements which resulted in Baima being named valedictorian and Kramer salutatorian.
This year's SSHS valedictorian is the daughter of Laura and Steve Baima and younger sister of University of North Texas students Erin Baima. Morgan Baima will graduate from SSHS with a 5.636 weighted grade point average.
Salutatorian Jeff Kramer will graduate at the end of this month with a 5.55 weighted grade point average. He is the son of John Kramer and Susy Kramer. He is the younger brother of Devry University student Matthew Kramer and older brother to Stephen and Sarah Kramer.
After graduating from SSHS, Baima plans to go on to St. Edward's University in Austin, a "really good Catholic school" where she will begin her studies toward what she hopes will one day lead to a career in obstetrics.
Baima said aside from an uncle who is an oral surgeon, no one in the family is involved in health careers; her mother is the department manager at Allied Home Mortgage and her father is the plant superintendent at Keller's Creamery.
She said obstetrics is just something she finds "interesting," particularly the fact that the obstetricians get to share the "gifting" experience of child birth as their work.
After high school, Kramer plans to attend the University of Texas in Austin, where he has earned a full scholarship as a Terry Foundation Scholar where he will begin his studies in psychology. Kramer said he is fascination with minds, particularly the ways in which they work, mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and how those disorders can be "fixed."
King, upon naming the top students, noted each to be well-rounded standouts, participating in a number of sporting, social and academic extra curricular activities in addition to their classroom successes.
Both have participated in a number of University Interscholastic League contests during their academic careers at SSHS.
Kramer's UIL activities have included One Act Play and debate, while Baima was on the math and science teams. Baima's activities also included playing soccer and running cross country as well as playing the piano. Kramer also played basketball and was active in his church youth group including going with them on mission trips.
Both have earned a number of awards during their career at SSHS. Baima received the Spanish II, Spanish III and Spanish IV awards, pre-AP chemistry award and was in National Honor Society. Kramer served as president of the National Honor Society, was a member of the High School Leadership Class, and was also named National Merit Scholar finalist.
Kramer noted that a lot of work and concentrated focus went into his achievements. He also attributed his confidence in his abilities to his successes at SSHS.
"We're excited for him, all the good work he's done," said his mother Susy Kramer. "We know he's brilliant. We look forward to seeing what God has in store in life for him for a great future ahead."
Suzy, a special education aide at Early Childhood Learning Center, said they realized Jeff was going to be exceptional from an early. The "brilliant" youngster taught himself to read at age four, which she said was entirely his own accomplishment as has been all of his other successes. Kramer's mother said both she and his dad, a quality manager at Aerostar International had to really work hard at their successes as learning did not come as easy to them as it has to their son.
Baima noted self motivation, a strict work ethic instilled by her parents and determination as the traits contributing to her achievements.
Laura Baima, Morgan's mother said, "She's one dedicated kid, always has been."
Baima's father Steve noted his daughter's natural talent and hard work as contributing to her success thus far, and anticipates will bring her continued successes in the future.
"He's got a great future ahead," John Kramer said of his son. "We're looking forward to seeing what he can do over the next four to six years, 10 years down the road."
King noted the sound foundation from each of the top graduate's parents are the cornerstone which paved the way for their successes.
Baima also cited Senora Kate Dennis who is "great example, a really good person who works hard and is dedicated to serving her students" as having a significant impact on her. Kramer cited Chrystal Reneau for "stimulating my interest in science" as a "really good teacher" of biology.

T1 USB vs Wall charger

This probably does extend a single charge cycle if you read the manufacturer and inventor's specifications for Li-On and Li-polymer batteries and is certainly more efficient as well as taking less time to charge.
Yes more amps may charge the device faster if the device can handle it but that isn't necessarily a good thing for the battery and is also very unlikely to make the battery hold more.
Looking at my Sony Vita charger it supplies 1500ma and looks like it's pretty much the same charger Sony uses for the T1 so I'll presume the T1 can handle it.
Convenient and potentially faster to charge I'll agree but holding more charge I still have a problem with, while stranger thing's have happened I still believe the slower a battery is charged the more effective it is.

Doranne of California Cookie Jars
The unique styles of Cookie jars by Doranne of California are becoming more and more collectible today by knowledgeable enthusiasts, with the "Pinocchio" being the most sought after. The factory was first opened in 1951, in Los Angeles during the golden years of cookie jar manufacturing. It operated for 40 years, producing its own molds and distinctive designs. Most common among these was animal cookie jars, however clowns and container jars where also well represented.
Due to lower priced competition by overseas imports Doranne of California found it increasingly difficult to operate profitably and in 1991 permanently closed their doors.
Identifying Vintage Doranne of California Cookie Jars
You can usually identify Doranne of California cookie jars by the company's distinctive mark. Most jars include the letters "CJ" with one, two or three digits following, and often this was followed by the letters "USA". For instance "CJ46 USA". Sometimes the jars were just marked with the "USA". Another indicator of a Doranne jar is the ocher, green and brown glazes that they seemed to favor.
Vintage Doranne of California Prices
As is true of all collectibles the "law of supply and demand" controls prices, and Doranne of California cookie jars are no exception. Some of the more common jars, such as "Turtle" and "Cup Cake" can readily be found for under $25, while the harder to find jars like "Cow Jumped Over the Moon" or "Pinocchio" have been known to command prices in the $200 to $300 price range.
One of the easiest ways to get an idea of the value of a particular jar, or to find out how much yours may be worth, is to see if any others like it have sold recently on eBay. And if so at what price? Do this by going to eBay Here , and clicking on the 'advanced search' button at the top of the menu bar. This will bring you to a more detailed search screen. Enter your cookie jar description and manufacturer, such as "Doranne Clown Cookie Jar" then check the 'completed listings only' box and hit enter. This will bring up a list of all jars that fit your description sold on ebay during the last month with the prices they sold for. (PLEASE NOTE: You must be a logged in member of eBay to use this feature. If you are not a member, sign up is FREE and you can do it here.)
It is important to note that the following cookie jars are auction listings, over which this site has no control with respect to their vintage authenticity. Collectors should take the precautions outlined in "Fakes and Counterfeits" prior to bidding on any vintage cookie jar over $100.

Uma Thurman's miraculous resurrection in Pulp Fiction may have had the faint of heart squirming, but that was Disney material compared to what Bazell's misguided, misdirected, and misanthropic hero faces daily in this outrageous novel. Peter Brown (a.k.a. Bearclaw to a select few) is a doctor at a New York hospital. That his past can be described as shady is an understatement. That it may have included killing a couple of dozen people (albeit the dregs of society) is information known only to a few remaining goombahs and the federal witness protection program.
With an attitude honed by daily rounds and cantankerous charges, Dr. Brown has no idea what the next 24 hours hold. His day begins by doing serious damage to a would-be mugger, followed by an X-rated encounter in the hospital elevator with a sexy pharmaceutical rep. And his newest patient knows him from his old life. It's starting to look like even the feds can't protect him from his former pals in the New Jersey mob and an undesirable date with the grim reaper.
One part Tarantino, two parts Grey's Anatomy, with a soupcon of The Sopranos thrown in for good measure, Beat the Reaper is an exuberant tale that bobs and weaves while throwing some wild punches. Sardonic, witty, self-deprecating, and profane, Bazell's Dr. Brown is an unlikely hero whose misadventures make for a highly entertaining novel. (Spring 2009 Selection)

Breck C. sent in three ads created by a Singapore ad agency for Coopers Premium Light beer (found at theartistandhismodel). The idea is that, because the beer is only 2.9% alcohol, you'll have less of a "beer goggles" problem and won't hook up with inappropriate women:
It appears that the beer will prevent you from taking women such as these, all of whom are depicted as unattractive, home with you. Also, as copyranter points out, the woman in the middle picture may be underage, and the woman in the third photo has on a ring and so is presumably engaged or married. So I guess it's not just about them being unattractive, but I think that's obviously a major element of the ads.
My first thought was that these must be a hoax, but I couldn't find any evidence that it was online, and copyranter usually does decent fact-checking. Also, according to coloribus, it was one of the winners of the 2008 Cannes Lions Press Bronze awards.
UPDATE: Commenter Ains has a different perspective:
I think it's supposed to be that each of the women is 2.9% affected by the beer goggles effect. Like the beer has 2.9% alcohol. So I think they are supposed to be unattractive, except for the small beer goggled area: the calf on the first model, the breasts on the second, and the face on the third.
Also see these Bacardi ads that suggest women should get an ugly friend so they look better in comparison and this one about dealing with your girlfriend asking "does my butt look big?" And this anti-drinking PSAs tell women if they drink too much they'll look like men.

This bold, open-link chain features hammered links and one over sized link on the side. It's made from sterling silver and is approx. 18 1/2" long.
The 20" long chain varies in link size, which creates quite a unique look on it's own. Add that with the bear claw that dangles from it and you've got one of the better necklaces around.
Another modest piece from D&G. It's a reasonably small chain that is 23 1/2" long. It's made from stainless steel and resin. Practically, it uses lobster closure and is topped off with a dandy of a pendant.
A bold open-link chain polished off with a silver claw pendant. It's 18 1/2", sterling silver and made by Diesel.
I guess these designer do tags are all the rage right now. Me, I just watched The Last Castle and kind of think that they'd me mad for exploiting something liek this for fashion. I like them, nonetheless.
Not sure of the fashion relevance of a piece like this. However, the thick, hanging necklaces for men seem to be all the hubbub. It's approximately 19", is made of stainless steel and rubber and has the logo clasp.
So, I wouldn't actually recommend dropping $400 on a gold-plated bracelet (unless of course you have money to burn, in which case can I have some?)

Public-private partnerships in the promotion of sport and well-being : a governance model
Brown, Kerry A., Keast, Robyn L., Charles, Michael B., Ryan, Neal F., & Cairncross, Grant (2010) Public-private partnerships in the promotion of sport and well-being : a governance model. In Proceedings of 14th Annual Conference of the International Research Society for Public Management (IRSPMXIV), The International Research Society for Public Management, Bern, Switzerland.
Accepted Version
(PDF 208kB)
This research focuses on exploring the links between sport, Indigenous self determination and deeper engagement within mainstream Australia especially with regard to the issue of promoting healthy lifestyles and the role of governance, through sport governance. Against all social, economic and health criteria Indigenous Australians are disadvantaged – despite government attention and financial input. It is well understood that education is a basis to better health, employment and lifestyle (Furneaux and Brown, 2008). However, many of the issues confronting Indigenous people have not responded to conventional government approaches based on program development and policy initiatives from single organisations (Ryan et al 2006). As a consequence, new approaches that both tap into the specific interests of Indigenous people and better engage them in the process of governance are required. The case material of the research focuses on the Australian Football League (AFL) Kickstart program.

You must return to the caravansary that guards these treasures.
At the caravansary they had scented tragedy, and Kate faced them with the paragraph.
The caravansary into which Haschim and his following now turned off stood on a plot of rising ground surrounded by palm-trees.
They replied with a volley of musketry into the caravansary, and another into the pagoda.
It was dusk when we arrived, and everybody hurried to get a dry place in the caravansary, myself amongst the pushing crowd.
At the caravansary his squire came running out to hold his stirrup.
At the caravansary there had been sharp disapproval of the whole thing.

Campus Events
Police Report
Cleveland State's PR dropped ball on 101
As the Cleveland Stater staff put the last issue to bed, the editorial board argued about whether it was in the best interest of the publication to add a "cheers and jeers" section to the Perspectives page.
In the midst of the good and bad things happening on campus some thought it would be a good way to celebrate or show disappointment in major campus news like the demise of Café 101.
Eventually the staff came to the conclusion that we wanted the publication to be different and we didn't want to copy the Friday cheers and jeers that the Plain Dealer runs on its opinion page.
No sooner than the Cleveland Stater staff voted against the "cheers and jeers," Cleveland State showed up in the on the bottom left of the Plain Dealer's opinion page. "Jeers…to Cleveland State University." It stuck out like a sore thumb.
Ohio's largest newspaper gave the university a jeers for the way that it handled the Café 101 situation.
Of course, the Plain Dealer was the first topic on the agenda at the Cleveland Stater staff meeting that afternoon. Not because we wanted to do that, but because we were so surprised that all of the media coverage of the Café 101 closing has been so one sided. Where has the university's public relations department been amid all the mess.
Give credit to Sam McNulty, the Café 101 staff, and the Student Government Association for getting their message out. The Plain Dealer, Scene Magazine, Channel 3, and both campus publications had stories on the issue, and most of the stories were slanted toward the Café 101 side. The university didn't seem to stand a chance because it wasn't letting the students know what was involved with Café 101's closing. The media made the Cleveland State administration look like one that doesn't care about what students want.
Meanwhile, the administration is trying to do what is in the best interest of the university. The only problem is that it is having a lot of trouble getting the message across to the students and the community.
The Cleveland Stater staff has made it a mission this semester to report both sides of issues.
Fair reporting is always best. With that in mind, we gave both sides of the Café 101 issue a chance to write the university community a letter defending the position.
The letter written by Cleveland State Director of Marketing and Public Affairs Brian Johnston lacked the emotion that students were hearing from McNulty and other Café 101 supporters. The concise nature of the letter brought with it the feeling that the university really doesn't care. Students should move on.
The university has taken the stance that Café 101 will close. Nothing can be done to keep the doors open. But members of the administration have also promised that new locations will be investigated for housing the popular campus hangout.
While that sounds reasonable, the administration must do a better job communicating its intentions to the student body.
As of right now, that has yet to happen. No press releases, no statements, only a small letter written to the Cleveland Stater that told students what they already knew. And because of that, Cleveland State has received nothing but negative PR in the past month.
Students can be certain that the administration is doing what is in the best interest of the university community. Times are tight, and as sad as it may be, sometimes the little guy gets shoved aside. But good communication must complement the university's decision making. The students deserve that in the least.

BASINGSTOKE Civil Service Retirement Fellowship: Their most recent meeting, at Brookvale Village Hall, had its guest speaker in full Yeoman uniform – just one of regular meetings on the first Wednesday of each month from 10am to noon.
The most recent addition to the fellowship's accompanying programme of trips out is a visit to Wakehurst Place and Gardens on Monday, July 21.
This year, the Fellowship is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its foundation nationally with a special Golden Appeal, and Buttercup Badges for this are available to buy through the local branch.
The group's next regular meeting is at the hall on Wednesday, May 7, and will feature a talk by Lynne Caine about BASICS Hampshire.
BASICS' team of volunteers are highly trained critical care doctors who provide immediate care by car or air ambulance even before critically ill or injured people reach hospital.
Lynne featured in the New Year Honours list with the award of the British Empire Medal for over 30 years' fundraising for this local charity. One not to be missed!

Shares in Arrium plunged after a foreign consortium claimed it would walk away from its bid to take over the iron ore and steel producer.
Shares in Arrium closed down 10 cents, or 12.7 per cent, at 68 cents.
The stock was fetching 85 cents mid-afternoon on Wednesday shortly after the consortium had lodged it's second, improved takeover offer.
The offer of 88 cents per share was rejected by the Arrium board on the grounds it "significantly" undervalued Arrium.
Independent analysts agreed, suggesting that a price "well above" $1.10 would be needed.
As part of the rejection, Arrium refused to even enter negotiations or due diligence with the consortium.
The refusal to allow due diligence "deeply disappointed" the consortium of Noble and Posco, which declared late yesterday it would no longer seek to engage with Arrium, while also dismissing the notion of a hostile bid direct to shareholders.
Investors seem to be taking the threat seriously this morning, dragging Arrium shares significantly lower.
The stock has not been this low since around the time of the original offer on October 1.
Buying the steelmaker, which changed its name in July from OneSteel to reflect its increasing focus on iron ore, would have given the consortium Asia's third-biggest steelmaker by output, a potential 9 million metric tonnes in annual supply of iron ore as well as access to as much as 13 million tonnes a year of port capacity in South Australia.
"In the absence of the offer, Arrium's share price should trade in line with our target price, which incorporates a discount given its debt position," Deustche Bank analysts Emily Behncke and John Hynd wrote in a research note dated yesterday. "We remain concerned about Arrium's debt position, its exposure to the volatile iron ore price," the Australian dollar exchange rate and likely asset/goodwill writedowns.
Arrium had net debt of $2.14 billion as of June 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
It is "business as usual" for the company after the bid was terminated, Arrium's external spokesman, Tim Duncan, said yesterday. The 88 cents-a-share offer was "highly conditional" and involved "significant transaction risk" as the group needs to hold talks with Arrium's lenders, the company said in an earlier statement yesterday.
Iron ore accounted for more than half of Arrium's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization in the financial year ended June 30, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Arrium rejected the initial 75 cents a share bid on October 1. Since then, the steelmaking ingredient has gained 14 per cent to $119 a ton.
"They were probably right to reject both offers particularly the first low-ball one," Gavin Wendt, senior resource analyst at Mine Life in Sydney, said yesterday. "But this does place pressure on the company to deliver what they say they will and the share price is likely to reflect that."

People should be braced for "very high" levels of air pollution over the next few days, experts have warned.
The south-east will see high levels of pollution today, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said.
The elevated pollution levels have been caused by a combination of light south-easterly winds, the continental air flow and dust which has blown up from the Sahara desert, a spokeswoman said.
"The current elevated pollution levels over parts of the UK are caused by light winds allowing the build-up of pollution, plus dust from the Sahara contributing to pollution levels," according to the Defra forecast.
Experts are anticipating "high" or "very high" air pollution levels across much of England and Wales.
People suffering the effects of high levels of pollution - including sore eyes, coughs and sore throats - should cut down the amount of activity they take outside, experts have warned.
Asthmatics might need to use their blue reliever inhalers more often as they could be prone to attacks today and over the next few days. Other people with lung and heart problems, and those who are older, should also avoid strenuous exercise or activity.
The advice, from Public Health England (PHE), Asthma UK and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), comes after a warning that people in parts of England should be braced for the highest level of air pollution recorded by Defra.
And the high levels of pollution are expected to continue across East Anglia and the Midlands on Thursday.
But the air pollution is expected to ebb away by Friday.
Last weekend, some people found their cars to be covered in a light coating of red dust. The Met Office said that a large amount of sand and dust was swept up by storm winds in the Sahara Desert.
Experts said that the airborne particles of dust were blown north to the UK where they combined with our warm air and were deposited during showers.
A Defra spokeswoman said: "The high level of air pollution this week is due to a combination of local emissions, light winds, pollution from the continent and dust blown over from the Sahara.
"We want to keep improving air quality and have introduced a new five-day forecast service in addition to investing heavily in local and transport initiatives to tackle this issue head-on."
