The Flintstones In Viva Rock Vegas Parent Guide
Parent Movie Review
Flintstones, Meet the Flintstones - who have been given a new life and attitude, with technical wizardry determined to take this primitive cartoon into the next millennium.
Using many scenarios familiar from the original scripts, space alien The Great Gazoo (Alan Cumming) is sent to Earth to study human mating habits. Bumping into Fred (Mark Addy) and Barney (Stephen Baldwin) during their pre-marriage days, he wonders how these two "dumb-dumbs" will ever mate -- with each other. Fortunately Fred and Barney are smart enough to know they need girls and set out to find dates.
Ending up at the local burger joint, they meet the enchanting Betty (Jane Krakowski) and her friend Wilma (Kristen Johnston). Wilma becomes enamored with Fred, a mere dino operator, much to the horror of her mother (Joan Collins) who insists she marry the handsome casino tycoon, Chip Rockefeller (Thomas Gibson). But Chip is willing to concede his loss and offers the foursome a free trip to Rock Vegas at his resort. Fred sees the trip as an opportunity to win big and buy Wilma the engagement rock of her dreams.
Diehard fans will recognize Wilma's overbearing mother (although now she's rich), Dino's need for a leash, and Fred's gambling addiction ("...bet, bet, Bet, BET!"). However, something parents won't recall from the original series is the inclusion of little sexual innuendoes. Although mild (Barney: "Betty wants to come over tonight and cook me breakfast... Gee, I wonder what we'll do while were waiting 'till then?"), it seems producer Bruce Cohen (credited for the steamy American Beauty), and the writers (who penned the sex-drenched teen flics Can't Hardly Wait and A Very Brady Sequel) forgot that both couples spent their TV lives sleeping in twin beds.
While the sets and effects were amazing, children may lose interest with the script's focus on romance. Considering the noted references of premarital sex along with Vegas related scenes of gambling, drinking and showgirls (including Fred and Barney in drag), parents may opt to put this movie on the rocks until it's available on video where it can be more easily previewed.Starring Mark Addy, Stephen Baldwin, Kristen Johnston. Running time: 90 minutes. Theatrical release April 28, 2000. Updated February 13, 2012

Rory Donovan led with 24 points as the Rogers Royals claimed third place in the Tartan holiday tournament with a 61-54 overtime conquest of Prior Lake on Thursday.
The Royals took the lead 49-48 on a 3-pointer by R.J. Dean in overtime, then pulled away sinking nine of 10 free shots.
The Royals (15-for-28 in the game) had been shaky at the line until OT when Donovan and Trevor Morlock each 3-for-3, Michael Schreiber 2-for-2 and Dean 1-for-2.
Regulation ended 45-45. Rogers had the ball the last two minutes but threw it away before taking the shot in the final seconds.
Morlock netted 12 points and Dean and Schreiber 10 each for the Royals.
Mitch Hopkins tallied 15 points and Jon Sabaski 14 for Prior Lake (3-4).
Donovan, 6-foot-6 senior center, scored 55 points in the three games at Tartan and made the all-tournament team, as did Morlock, 6-4 senior guard who had 28 points in the tournament.
Rogers was 2-1 in the tournament and finished the 2010 portion of the schedule 5-2. The Royals will resume conference play at Zimmerman on Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Rogers — Morlock 12, Berkley 3, Donovan 24, Turnquist 2, Dean 10, Schreiber 10

Several months ago I wrote about how Apple's opening of the iPhone SDK and its App Store would create a whole new business ecosystem for application developers for that platform. Apple offers globally accessible hosting and payment clearance in return for a 30% cut of the app's sales price.
Now, there are early signs that the strategy is paying off for some early application developers who have developed popular apps for the iPhone and iPod touch (which uses the same SDK as the iPhone) users. Eliza Block, who developed 2 Across, a word game for the iPhone platform, has reportedly cleared in the area of $2,000 a day according to this article.
The App Store is a new updated version of the shareware movement which took hold in the early 80s with the launch of the Apple Macintosh 128K. In those days, homebrew developers would develop games, apps and productivity tools which were distributed on floppy disks. (Remember those? If you do, you're showing your age.) More often than not, these came with a message which went something like "If you liked this app, please show your appreciation by sending a contribution to this address." More often than not, people just used the apps without sending money, although there were a few kind and generous souls who did.
Now, Apple has become the doorkeeper for these independent developers. There is no more reliance on the kindness of strangers; Apple takes care of global distribution and payment for new apps in return for 30% of the app's sales price. For devs, the App Store is the perfect barometer for what's hot and what's not.
In contrast, Facebook and others have not been able to find the magic balance point between independent developers and their own corporate needs for revenue. When Facebook opened its platform to developers, it ended up enabling app developers to spam the FB audience, driving many away from Facebook. Now, with Facebook Connect, FB is trying to find that balance point.
Chinese social media companies are no better at finding the right balance between independent devs and their own need for revenue. While there has been talk about open systems in China, all of the competing business models in fact, are not open. Apple's system is certainly not open. it's just that Apple is willing to share in order to grow the pie.
Apple and Steve Jobs have successfully put themselves at the juncture of technology, business and hardware, and are willing to share a larger cut in order to drive up sales of a very attractive new hardware platform. With growing earnings from hardware sales, Apple can afford to be generous with devs, and is effectively subsidizing a new business ecosystem. By making some independent developers financially successful with App Store and getting that word out, they do something none of their competition have been able to do yet.
The question for Chinese companies such as Tencent is whether they are willing to use their high corporate earnings to subsidize their own independent developers' business ecosystem as Apple has, and share some of the revenue in order to grow the pie for everyone? Or do they still think that they can own the whole pie? Tangos Chan says that they still believe that they can own the whole pie.
But Tangos believes that this will change in the future. In the meantime, more independent devs will gravitate to developing for the iPhone platform. It's better to open up sooner while there is still interest in their platform because opening up later means that they will have to be that much more generous in order to attract developers away from Apple's platform.
After all, that's where the money is. And I'm sure that Steve loves how his competitors' moves help his platform.
What more could he ask for?

Amal Hijazi denies marrying her business manager
Lebanese singer Amal Hijazi has denied circulating rumors that she and her business manager, Sharbel Domat, have gotten married during her recent tour around the United States of America. The singer stressed that the news is a complete lie and does not understand why someone would create such rumors, reported the London based daily, Alsharq Al Awsat.
Recently the singer's lawyers released a statement that said she is no longer working with the company Music is My Life, which used to administer all of Amal's entertainment activities. It was added that Amal hired Sharbel Domat as her new business manager and he alone ise responsible for all her activities.
Amal had filmed the song "Bitdor ala Albi", from her latest album, in the form of a music video and prepares to film "Ma Habitch Ghairak" as well in the upcoming few days. It is revealed that the singer is placing the final touches on her upcoming album, in which she is working closely with a number of prominent composers and poets from Egypt and Lebanon. The new album is scheduled for release during the end of the upcoming summer season.

A classically based choral and voice training program, Vocal Music currently offers two strands of study:
Classical Voice is rooted in the study of European classical literature, world music, and twentieth century music with extended study possible in jazz, musical theatre, pop, and gospel. Students sing in a variety of ensembles and study solo art song repertoire, opera, music history, foreign-language diction, composition, and much more.
Jazz & Contemporary
Jazz & Contemporary Voice offers students a rigorous exploration of many different genres of contemporary vocal music, including Jazz, Blues, Pop, Folk, and much more. Students sing in small, a capella ensembles and study solo literature, improvisation, Jazz history, and practical skills in keyboard and arranging.
Vocal students audition for one strand or the other and take classes in their designated concentration, though some genre-specific classes may be made available to all students, depending on schedule, class size, and availability.
All Vocal students are members of the Concert Choir and must complete two years of basic music theory to qualify for upper-level theory courses or electives.

Newly minted
Mr Boucher said industrial markets remained tough with ongoing weakness in the manufacturing sector weighing on Transpacific's liquid processing volumes, which fell 5.8 per cent.
After a long strategic review focused on driving operational efficiency, Mr Boucher said he will continue to drive change and fine-tune operations as he simplifies the business by selling non-core assets.
"Divestments and asset sales will continue and we will pay down our debt. There are 11 businesses we have not discarded yet and we are looking at starting dividends again," he told analysts.
The group is pursuing the sale of its New Zealand arm, which is not expected to be finalised until later in the financial year. The sale of its plastics manufacturing business is under contract and awaiting approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
Moelis & Co analyst Adam Michell said he continues to see Transpacific as a a good way to get exposure to a broader economic recovery given the margin leverage in the waste business and its improving balance sheet.
Transpacific's gross profit, as measured by earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, slipped to $192.9 million from $205.3 million, which was mainly due to the sale earlier of the group's commercial vehicle sales arm.
Revenue rose 5.1 per cent to $726.9 million, reflecting a slight lift in underlying volumes handled.
The bottom line was flattered by a gain from the sale of the commercial vehicle division. Stripping this out, the net profit was $41.7 million, a rise of 16.5 per cent.
Transpacific chief financial officer Stewart Cummins said debt had fallen below $1 billion for the first time in a long time with net debt now at $750 million.
Net interest expense is down $20 million, or 31 per cent.
Transpacific shares were up 0.4 per cent to $1.15 at 11am on Friday.

An onerous legislative proposal to mandate emissions monitoring at Santa Monica Airport (SMO) in Southern California was rejected by the state senate. California Assembly Bill 2501 would have required the airport to record the time that turbine engines run during ground operations at Santa Monica Airport so that exhaust emissions could be measured. The proposal stemmed from a local citizen group called CRAAP, which stands for Concerned Residents Against Air Pollution.
CRAAP was able to get California state assemblyman Ted Lieu (D) to propose the bill, which was passed by the California assembly but rejected recently by the State Senate Committee on Transportation and Housing. Both NBAA and the National Air Transportation Association worried that the bill, if passed, could set a dangerous precedent for other airports. "The new legislation could also establish a precedent for all publicly owned and public-use airports in California to take similar actions," NATA wrote to its members. NBAA stated that "the bill duplicated similar studies already under way, singled out SMO and could have limited access to SMO."
CRAAP's effort developed after an airport commission meeting at which nearby residents who live downwind of SMO's runway complained about jet fumes. The proposal to measure turbine engine run time at SMO for one year beginning on January 1 would have cost the airport $150,000, according to NBAA. "We think it's a waste of taxpayer money," said Kris Thabit, president of American Airports, which operates the airport and owns FBO Supermarine Aviation.
Compared with the tremendous amount of pollution generated by automobile and truck traffic in the Los Angeles area, he added, "What happens at the airport is negligible." In any case, he asked, "So what if you track emissions and are able to measure them? Does the South Coast Air Quality Management District have a standard? What is the goal? What are you going to do with this information?"
In its original form, Bill 2501 would have required measuring turbine engine run time at all airports in Southern California, according to Thabit. He pointed out that if the bill were truly aimed at air pollution, it would not target only aviation;
it would also measure emissions at marinas and auto racetracks.
The CRAAP move appears to be another in the many attacks on SMO by nearby residents who have long sought restrictions against the airport and negotiated a significant noise settlement in 1984. Escalating fines for noise violations and pilot education have made the noise program very effective, and violations are now a small percentage of the 16,000 to 18,000 jet operations per year at SMO, according to Thabit. "The noise program hasn't been bad," he said, "and it's good for the community."
But local residents didn't achieve their goals with the noise settlement, and they have been busy planning other ways to try to restrict operations at SMO, including a proposed conformance program that would allow the airport to accept only certain types of airplane based on approach speeds and wingspan, according to Thabit. The City of Santa Monica is pushing for a displaced threshold, which would also limit operations. "It hasn't proceeded," Thabit said. "The airport is just too valuable for the Los Angeles Basin."
While the SMO legislation is dead, pollution problems at airports are a live issue. At nearby Los Angeles International Airport, for example, Landmark Aviation's Honeywell engine overhaul facility is required by the South Coast Air Quality Management District to track emissions generated by engine test cells.
Emissions are not actually measured, but they are calculated based on engine run time at various power settings, using a Honeywell formula that determines levels for five different polluting substances produced. Landmark measures test cell emissions because it is not allowed to exceed an emissions limit that in effect permits running just one TPE331 and one TFE731 per day. To some observers this makes little sense given the enormous amount of emissions generated by all the turbine traffic taking off, landing and taxiing at LAX every day.
At Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, an emissions study is being conducted by Environ for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. This study is far more rigorous than the SMO proposal and will measure actual emissions generated not only by aircraft but also by background sources such as cars and trucks. The study's goals are "to assess long-term ambient concentrations of selected air toxins in the immediate vicinity of the airport and the associated risks to human health," and "determine whether contributions from airport operations can be discerned from the contributions of other background sources."
Environ (www.environcorp.com/projects) has installed monitoring and sampling equipment at TEB, and the systems will operate all this year. According to Environ, the TEB program is the "first long-term study of air quality in the vicinity of an airport ever performed."

The delay performance of slow light optical pulses inside photonic crystal slab waveguides is considered in the linear and nonlinear propagation regime from both a theoretical and an application point of view. The numerical model used relies on a nonlinear envelope propagation equation that includes the effects of second- and third-order dispersion, optical losses, and self-phase modulation. It is numerically shown that for rates of and , nonlinear solitary pulses experience less broadening than the linear case and can therefore be used to obtain larger delays. The influence of propagation losses on the soliton broadening factor is also incorporated and discussed. The results demonstrate the potential of implementing a variety of linear and nonlinear signal processing applications in photonic crystal waveguides including optical buffering.

Forced Development and Urban Land Prices
This paper examines the distortions in property markets resulting from government actions to alleviate externalities associated with vacant lots. Using an equilibrium based real option model, the analysis indicates that announcement of a program of forced development may actually delay market-based development. By incorporating externalities associated with vacant lots into the model, the analysis indicates that owners of neighboring developed property benefit suggesting such programs will be politically popular.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/2/2014 (1287 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For many, sewing starts and stops with a hastily made apron in home economics class, but Norquay School sewing instructor Lindsey Lichty is determined to keep her students committed to the craft.
Lichty, along with Norquay community support worker Marlene Wood, leads The Fine Art of Sewing Club, teaching students in Grades 4 to 6, as well as their parents and guardians, hand and machine sewing.
And the sewing doesn't stop after classes are completed.
"When they do (graduate from the club), they get to take a sewing machine," said Lichty, who has taught at Norquay for three years.
"That's the whole intent. I wanted each person that goes through the program to have a sewing machine to take home with them."
Consequently, Lichty is always on the hunt for more machines. She said she's received machine donations from individuals, as well St. George's Anglican Church and the Canadian Tire in Southdale. She's also received product donations from Fabricland and Staples.
A former employee of Brother International in Ontario, Lichty knows sewing machines inside and out, cleaning and maintaining the donated product herself. Any repairs she can't make are done at Modern Sewing Machine Co. (1419 Main St.).
Lichty, who says she started sewing around age eight or nine, said knowing your way around a needle and thread is empowering.
"You can repair clothing, so it keeps your costs down, and you can be inventive and design your own clothes," said Lichty, who also teaches sewing to continuing education students in Louis Riel School Division.
"You can also work for companies that require sewers, from car manufacturers to fabric stores. Not only that, it's also a craft and a hobby as well."
Unfortunately for Norquay School, Lichty is moving to Ontario in June to be with her family.
"I don't want to see (the sewing program) die, but in order for that not to happen, someone needs to pick up the slack when I'm not here," Lichty said. "If another sewing enthusiast would like to help out with the program that would be super."
Lichty said leaving Norquay won't be easy.
"It's been a learning experience for me as much as it has been for the children," Lichty said. "The kids are amazing. Sometimes they have issues they have to deal with, but they rise above them and do the best they can."
For more information on The Fine Art of Sewing Club or to donate a sewing machine, phone Norquay School at 204-943-9541 or call Lichty directly at 204-253-8080.

LONDON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - European stocks eased on Wednesday, failing to hold the previous day's gains as anti-austerity strikes across southern Europe and a lack of resolution on Greek debt put the euro zone crisis back in the spotlight.
The FTSEurofirst 300 was down 0.3 percent at 1,096.06 points by 0809 GMT, eating away at Tuesday's 0.4 percent rise which was its first daily gain in four sessions.
"The failure to sustain any momentum to the upside suggests there is a buyers' strike and they are staying on the sidelines, waiting for a resolution either in Greece or in the U.S.," said Ioan Smith, strategist at Knight Capital.

She was not a new teacher but she had lost control of these young adolescents. As their form teacher, she had tried being a disciplinarian, a gentle mother figure, even a friend. She had gone through her notes from University, she had consulted the greatest classroom managers in print. Nothing seemed to work.
Today was going to be different.
"What I want you to do, is to clear the tables and chairs to the back of the room, leaving Tom and Danny's table at the front."
With much grumbling and slothful movements, the boys took their time to obey.
"Now, I want you to get into pairs and form two lines from the end of the desk, each partner facing each other. Hold hands in a cross-over fashion."
This was the sticking point,
"I'm not holding hands with him", said Henry, gesturing to Alex.
"Yeah, we're not girls you know" shouted Christopher.
She calmly responded. "You're not girls, you're young men, and this is an exercise done by managers all over the world; it's a management exercise – of trust of strength of character, of cohesiveness that I know you all can be part of if you choose."
"The aim of today's lesson, more precisely, is to learn how to trust each other. We are going to take turns standing on the edge of the table falling backwards on to the arms of everyone else. Because you will be holding hands, you will see how easy it is to support one another as a team."
There, the objective was established. The boys' curiosity piqued… she took the lead.
"Because I trust you, I will go first."
Positive modelling she kept on repeating to herself, project your expectations. She climbed up onto the edge of the table and after establishing that the boys were ready, faced away from the drop.
"OK… ready to catch me? Don't let go now!" She crossed her arms over her chest and fell back.
The first thing she felt was the floor. Winded, she lay there in disbelief. Only Tom remained at her side.
"Miss, I tried to catch you but everyone stepped back."

OUR VIEW: The week in review, the best and worst
CHEERS to news that state budgets throughout the United States appear to be stabilizing, according to a Reuters report we published last week. The story told how budget gaps suddenly are rare, and also that South Dakota is one of eight states expected to exceed revenue targets. It's been four or five years since things hit the skids. Although many would say we're not yet out of economic danger, it sure appears that we're better off today than we were then.
CHEERS to the Christmas Day dinner served last week at the Mitchell Masonic Lodge. The event was hosted by the Masonic Lodge and the Corn Palace Shrine Club and saw 464 people receive a meal. Helping make the day special were 76 volunteers, who served up 90 pounds of ham and 140 pounds of turkey, as well as all of the trimmings that make holiday meals so special.
CHEERS to the perfect score in the most recent alcohol compliance check, conducted locally by the Central Alcohol Task Force. Sixteen local businesses declined to serve alcohol to a minor during the check, one of the many routine checks that are conducted throughout the year.
We have to admit that we question ourselves when we run the names of the businesses that pass these random checks — after all, we don't run the names of individuals who don't drive drunk or don't speed while driving, for instance. But we are sure glad when these report cards come in and show that all businesses involved are complying with the law and keeping booze out of the hands of kids.
CHEERS to the amateur baseball team from Alexandria, which last week was named Independent Team of the Year by the South Dakota Sportswriters Association. The Angels won the state Class B title during last summer's state tournament and this most recent award is a great way to cap off a memorable 2013, not only for the team itself but also for the community of Alexandria.
HISSES to the pheasant decline and the corresponding drop in regional tourism. We penned and published a report last week that told how some businesses in the region saw big drops in hunter numbers, and that is resulted in a down year for many. Although we have heard anecdotally that some businesses were pleasantly surprised by numbers this year, there is little doubt that it was something of a lost season here in central South Dakota.

Need more advice? Ask the community a question.
This unit worked fine on the network when I was running vista and wmp 11, but after moving up to 7 with wmp 12, the Yamaha Receiver doesn't show up on my network.
I understand the HDMI standard is about to move up to 1.4a. My question is, will this make a difference in a receiver such as the V3900 that advertises HDMI 1.3?
There is a lot of mention around this receiver playing music from the internet or stored on a home network drive but will it play video (movies) and pictures from the internet and a network drive? If it will play videos at what resolution 1080P?

One single comment. That's what single handedly started this blogging charade that started over a year ago.
During one lazy Saturday afternoon in October back in 2009 I decided to write up a single blog post. Though I was far from a constant reader of the blogs at the time, I had from time to time checked out a couple of the editors blogs in particular Greg Miller's blog. After listening to the Game Scoop podcast from the Tokyo Game Show back in 2009 I was bored bit bored so while I was on IGN just wasting time I decided to check out some of the editors blogs yet again. Curious I decided to try out the blogging system and write a post on why Japan has it so good. The text in front you is indeed my first blog post.
[quote=daxter23jak]Last week I was listening to podcast from the tokyo game show to keep my sanity on my way to work and began to wonder about region locked games. I mean it would just mean more money for the publisher and developer. But last week I got a sense of the culture and realized we are a bunch of assholes. Really after a long day at work we get online to Halo, Call of Duty, or Uncharted and hear some annoying 5 year old or even worse an annoying 40 year still living in their mom basement given us crap for winning or dying. Over in Japan it is an entire differently situation. They are a very polite society who values education and hard work. Games like monster hunter and Dragon Quest reign supreme while Cod and Halo are pretty much ignored. Over their after a long day at work they don't give you crap about dying they say things like i don't know " Sorry, good try" or "good game". If you brought that experience over to america it would be lost in translation as america, europe, and Australia are entirely different cultures and societies and that is why Japanese come out over there. To preserve their sense of culture and integrity. Plus you know, we are a bunch of annoying 5 year olds.[/quote]
Looking back I see I have come along way since that lazy October's day. My grammer and writing abilities have defiantly improved that for sure. Anyhow after posting that post I pretty much forgot the blogs entirely and would only occasionally check out some of the editors blogs. It wasn't until one late winter's night in December that I returned to this old place. At the time some family friends had been crashing in our place and occupying my room. After a long and tiring day of touring them around the city I just wanted to get some peace and quiet so I decided to grab my laptop and sit in the darkness of our living room. Bored as hell I decided to marathon through the One Piece those long winter nights. During breaks between these long One Piece marathon sessions I incidentally ran into the blogs again. With no new updates on IGN or my usual other sites at the time I happened across the blogs once again. Curious I decided to revisit my old post and to my suprise a single comment was lying underneath it.
[quote=TAFKasRobtam]I hate listening to 5 year olds. I usually just mute the arseholes. But I would love to see more civilised people online.[/quote]
It's a gratifying feeling when one comments on your opinions or works. It's even more gratifying when you realize that this was a complete stranger that went out of his way to just leave that sole comment. This sole comment while no containing anything too special motivated me to take back up the blogging keyboard and blog again. Though the initial trek into the blogging realm had it's hardships it's ultimately paid off. Now probably one of the best things about this place is the welcoming community we had here. Though to some the blogs may have seen like an closed in elite community once you waddle you're way in people begin to notice you and help you along the way. Most of the communities I had tried entering online before hand were a bit vulgar and unwelcoming but this place was different. It actually welcomed me and in turn helped me become a more sociable person (both online and off), make new and interesting friends from all over the globe, and has most of all helped me become a better writer. While many things have changed over the year these facts remain the same. I can honestly say I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for this place and all it's people. And to that I want to thank each and every one of you who have made this place the place it is today.
-Thank you TAFKasRobtam for being my first commenter-
-Thank you BeforeCrisis for teaching me the ropes-
-Thank you Fozzy(FozzyTheGamer), William(beezball), Britney(Brit5091) for introducing me to this communities wonderful escapade of podcast-
-Thank you Derrick (VirginWolf) for giving me a goal to reach towards-
-Thank you Alexis(Lexicer) and Peter(CallSignStarbucks) for letting me start up a podcast if you guys even if it all fell apart in the end-
-Thank you Chris(kariyanine.cs) and Sean(SeanDKnight) for giving me the crazy idea of blogging every single day for more than half a year-
-Thank you Tony(Napoleon1066), Jeff(JustSomeDude??), Mark(Dubskies), Sean(Trucker_Sean), Ryan(SharpShotApollo), Fozzy(FozzyTheGamer), Chris(kariyanine.cs) for some great f**king podcast.

-Oh and thank all of you guys for being yourselves-
Really wish I could say more about the subject at hand. Oh and when I say this I absolutely mean it. However it's seems as if my time has run out as the old blogs are crumbling around me and it's time to post this god damn thing. Thank you everybody for the amazing past year I've had a good luck with all of your future endeavors. Don't know if I'll ever be as active member of a community than this one here but I'll try and keep up with all of you on twitter or aim. My username for both is daxter23jak.
This is daxter23jak and This is my Redemption and I'm out-

Two oil-field workers injured
Published 10:17 pm, Monday, January 14, 2013
Two oil field service workers from East Texas were seriously injured Monday evening in Atascosa County when a high-pressure tool used to perforate water pipes exploded.
Sheriff David Soward said the men were working in a trailer at the O.K. Ranch off County Road 343, about 16 miles south of Charlotte, when around 7 p.m. the "water pipe perforating gun" exploded.
The men, ages 30 and 29, suffered possible life threatening injuries and were taken by EMS to the Sheriff's Office in Jourdanton then flown by Airlife to San Antonio Military Medical Center, Soward said.
News Channel
Soward said authorities were still sorting through the details and didn't yet know what company employs the men or what caused the tool to explode. He said their names weren't yet being released until they were confirmed.

GEORGETOWN, KY – This past weekend (Feb. 1), Georgetown College women's lacrosse held another first. The Tigers hosted an all-comers high school lacrosse camp that brought in 75 athletes from five states and 17 high schools.
"It is exciting with everything we do having that newness to it," said GC coach Brandon Davis. "It was great to see that many interested in taking part of our first-ever camp. I think it went as well as can be expected for a first time."
Campers came from as far as New York, North Carolina and Indiana. Kentucky and Ohio were the other two states represented. The range of experience was also wide – brand new to seasoned-veterans of 10 years.
"With camps, what I like to see, is my athletes running the drills, while I circulate throughout the camp," Davis said. "It was a new experience for some of my players having to break the drills down or even further break down the set up. It took a while to get in rhythm, but I think they really enjoyed it as did the campers.
"The influx of athletes came in the day leading up to camp, so there are some things I see there that need to be tweaked to insure a better complete experience, but overall I was really pleased with the entire day."
The day was filled with four hours of instruction and drills, a session on sports nutrition with the GC Athletic Training Staff and a recruiting question and answer session with the coaching staff.
Follow Georgetown College Athletics online for the latest schedules, scores, and information on teams and athletes.
Editor's note: Women's lacrosse is currently a club team sport at Georgetown College. It becomes an intercollegiate sport in 2014-2015.

Drake: Would You Like A Tour? comes to Calgary [Review]
Calgary, AB – On Nov. 30, Live Nation brought Drake to Calgary for a stop along the Would You Like A Tour? concert tour. The performance roster for the evening was stacked to the maximum: up-and-coming Mississauga OVO protege, PartyNextDoor; Freebandz hip-hop heavyweight, Future; R&B's soulful panty-dropper, Miguel; a guest-appearance from newcomer Jhené Aiko, and – of course – the great Champagne Papi, himself. It was one of the best nights ever. Because when OVO is in the building, nothing is ever the same. See how it all went down after the jump.
At 7 p.m., PartyNextDoor took the stage as the first opener of the evening. He only got 10 minutes to perform. He should have had more stage time, because his self-titled debut EP was fire. But he got to host the official OVO after party at Black Betty in downtown Calgary after the show. And the after party got downright unruly. So ultimately PartyNextDoor did end up putting the "party" back in to "PartyNextDoor."
Shortly after 7:15, Future took the stage for his opening set. Dude is a total lady killer. He's got those high cheekbones, and that luscious mane of dreads. And he was wearing shiny red pants, so the steez-factor was off the charts. He should have been one of the most hyped up performances of the evening. But the crowd was still filtering into the venue when he got on the mic. Future was under appreciated. And it evidently killed his vibe. Even though he joined Drake on stage later on in the evening to perform "Same Damn Time," the performance was a little lukewarm. His ego had taken a serious blow from the lack of fan love. Next time, I'm going to have to make a homemade sign that says "I Love Future." That, or I'll just start propelling undergarments on to the stage. Future deserves that.
Miguel was the final opener of the evening. He's one of the hottest things in R&B right now, but he's also a total rockstar. He had a fringe jacket on that looked all dramatic and fancy with the backing smoke machine and stage lights. And his stage presence was flooring: he flicks his tongue out, he dances around like a diva, and he knows how to work a crowd. He also gets mad props for actually having a live band on stage with him.
At 9:30 p.m., the full-on NWTS experience kicked into high-gear. Drizzy emerged onto the stage, decked in an all-black wardrobe ensemble. He started things off with "Tuscan Leather" and transitioned into some of his older material including "Headlines" and "Crew Love." Drake's jacket was removed before the end of the third song, to reveal a tank top and the muscular supremeness that is Drizzy arms. I could write a very lengthy essay about Drizzy arms. They are the arms that dreams are made of. In hindsight, "Would You Like To See Drake's Arms?" would have actually made for a solid tour name. Mid-way through the set, Drake took a few minutes off-stage to change from his all-black ensemble into an all-white ensemble that was exactly the same as his black ensemble. Except it was all white. There was likely some deeper metaphorical realness to this wardrobe change – possibly to show the progression from "started at the bottom" to "here." Or maybe it was meant to convey the conflicting soft and hard (i.e.: less soft) parts that make up Drake's persona. Or maybe the dude just sweats a lot. Then Drake brought Jhené Aiko on stage and the duo performed "In Time." Jhené is a total goddess. And all of the girls in the audience wanted to be her.
And – of course – no performance of "Hold On, We're Going Home" would be complete without a signature Drizzy fan-serenade. It would seem that Drake just tells his crew to randomly select a girl from the audience to join him on the stage. If this were the case, it would also seem that the OVO fam decided to punk Drake. Because the lady that came on to the stage was old enough to be kicking it with Drake's mother. And she seemed supremely tipsy. Nonetheless, Drizzy serenaded the lady and pulled out all of the fast-stops: he told her she looked like she was straight out of Vegas, he gave her a kiss, and he let her hold his hand while he sang to her. As she left the stage, he made some remark about her downing a full bottle of Absolut. It was pretty hilarious, because it was probably true. He should have said, "You're drunk. Go home." and it would have been that much funnier. Because he had just performed "Hold On, We're Going Home."
Drake wrapped up his performance with an ode to the great Hova. That is, he had himself suspended above the crowd on a really large architectural structure and spent a painfully lengthy amount of time validating the existence of his fans (this is how Jay-Z concludes his shows). Drizzy pointed out individual Drake-heads in the audience: the guy in the OVO shirt, the dude in the grey hoodie, the girls shaking it, and then some. There's nothing more fulfilling in life than getting a shout-out from Drake. But then Drizzy took a moment to focus in on one particular couple (who appeared to be in the beginning stages of their dating relations). It was one of those very uncomfortable moments where Drake is telling you to mack on a girl who's obviously not into you. And because Drake is putting on the peer pressure in front of a really large audience, you lean in for a kiss with said girl. And she's obviously not feeling it. No offence, Drizzy — that was bad wingmanship.

Ashley Michelle Alston and J. Stratford Redding Dennis had just one place in mind for their September 2, 2012 destination wedding: Martha's Vineyard—the couple's favorite place on earth. They themed the wedding weekend "Love on the Vineyard," and put it on everything from the stamps to the menus. Ashley's mother even had it printed on the cotton tote bags she filled with Vineyard goodies to welcome each guest to the island.
When it came to planning their nuptials, the location wasn't the only thing that was important to the couple. The vendors they chose were all small businesses—mostly owned by women and minorities. "We believe in being intelligent consumers and that we were not only supporting underrepresented communities by using these businesses, but also receiving better service and attention by using companies with smaller client bases," Ashley explains. "We had wonderful experiences with each vendor."
To begin, the couple enlisted help from Doris Clark of Event Day Coordination to plan the wedding, not simply because she is African-American, but as Ashley put it, "She is fabulous. She was incredibly nurturing and so supportive throughout the planning process," Ashley says. "Not to mention, she has a letter of recommendation from the late Senator Edward 'Ted' Kennedy."

A SOUTH Ockendon primary school has been told to up its game by Ofsted after it was rated as "requires improvement" by the education watchdog.
Somers Heath, on Foyle Drive, has been given the second lowest rating available after today's report published by Ofsted found that the teaching at foundation and key stage one level didn't consistently help all pupils to make progress in all subjects.
It also found that the didn't help pupils in years two to six reach higher levels of attainment and it didn't ensure pupils attainted the reading and writing skills they needed to progress well at secondary school.
Additionally, it found that pupil's progress in science wasn't good enough and that the senior leaders at the school didn't focus enough attention on improving the quality of teaching.
The grading is a backwards step for the school, after it was awarded a "good" in 2011 after coming out of special measures.
The report is another blow to the reputation of Thurrock primary schools, which is rated in the bottom three nationally.
Since November 2012, 13 of the 17 primary schools in the borough have been found to be inadequate or require improvement.
Only one is outstanding - Dilkes in South Ockendon.
It's a different story for the boroughs secondary schools though, with eight out of the 10 currently ranked as good or outstanding.
For the full report and reaction, see next week's Gazette.

Risk and Control Developments in Corporate Governance: changing the role of the external auditor?
Are the risk and control developments in corporate governance changing the role of the external auditor? This paper examines how the concepts of risk and control are incorporated in current corporate governance promulgations and analyses the implications for the role of the external auditor. It is suggested that up till now the corporate governance debate has strengthened the position or role of the internal auditor in the advantage of the role of the external auditor. The promulgations have influenced the internal control mechanisms, and the control responsibilities have become more explicit. Dominant determinants for the future role of the external auditor seem to be in conflict, namely the value adding function of the audit with an alignment of risk oriented efforts by the auditor and the company versus the notion of "back to basics". The external auditors ought to recognise that they must be perceived as "the" experts regarding internal control and risk management and that this must be engrained as part of the service rendered, i.e. part of the value adding nature of an audit. At the same time they must improve the transparency of the audit standards and the communication processes of audit reporting.

CITY of York Council has chosen to reinstate the "no right turn" from Lendal into Museum Street after capitulating over Lendal Bridge.
I am not sure why the council bothered because it is now generally ignored.
Is this another "success" for the motorists who complained about the trial restrictions and believe that they are entitled to drive anywhere and at any time, regardless of the impact of the rest of York's community?

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - A tour bus fire at London's O2 arena may disrupt a Kings of Leon concert, the O2 said on Tuesday.
The arena said it was assessing the damage and would announce later whether the concert featuring the Tennessee rockers could go ahead.
"Following this morning's fire on a show tour bus, we are currently assessing whether Kings of Leon will go ahead this evening and we will have further news within the hour," O2 said on its website (www.theo2.co.uk).
Around 60 firefighters and 12 fire engines had to deal with what the London Fire Brigade described as "challenging conditions" as smoke billowed from the vicinity of the white-domed concert and events venue by the River Thames in southeast London, the Guardian newspaper reported.
Ambulance staff treated six people for smoke inhalation, but no one needed hospital treatment.
"We have officers at the scene who have reported back now that the fire is now under control. It did not spread to the dome at all. It is in the parking location," a London Fire Brigade spokesman said.

In a statement issued through her publicist, Melyssa denies report of her being the third person in Nelly and Ashanti's relationship that causes them to break up.
Model-actress Melyssa Ford is wasting no time to put the brake on the false circulating reports that she has an affair with Ashanti's boyfriend Nelly and has been spotted spending time with him in Las Vegas and Miami. In a statement issued through her publicist Lexi Chow from Lexi Chow PR, the 32-year-old insists, "My relationship with Nelly is strictly professional."
She explains further that "As the former spokesmodel for Apple Bottoms, our interaction was amicable but limited to work. I have not seen or spoken to Nelly in 2 years so the person they are referring to in the media as 'Jessica Rabbit' is not me." She goes on revealing, "We shot an Apple Bottom campaign in 2006 in Miami and we taped the Black Poker Stars International Show on BET in Vegas in November 2007."
In a statement to AceShowbiz, the publicist affirms Melyssa "has not been referred to" the nickname of "Jessica Rabbit" in years. Besides, "there are 4 other Jessica Rabbits" in Hollywood showbiz and thus the publicist concludes the on-going allegations "are grossly untrue".
On Friday, August 21, the New York Daily News ran a story claiming Nelly and Ashanti, who have been together since 2003, have broken up. Different directions they want to take regarding the future of their romance were cited as the reason for the split. Proving more evidence to the not-yet confirmed separation report, the site claimed Nelly had an affair with Melyssa Ford (nickname Jessica Rabbit).
Contrary to Melyssa, both Nelly and Ashanti haven't issued a single statement just yet on whether or not they have called it quits.

Finding Inspiration in Paris: Exciting Alternatives to Paris' Big Museums
November 15, 2011
At the Rodin Museum, Paris (Stephen Boisvert)
The other week, as the famed Musée D'Orsay was about to celebrate a grand re-opening after two years of renovation, museum workers went on strike. The strike ended fairly quickly, but for a few agonizing days disappointed Impressionistas were left wondering how to get their art fix in Paris.
Which brings up a good point. The Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre are not exclusive guardians of the greatest art ever, despite what your guide book tells you. Yeah, yeah, you want to see the Mona Lisa. But why not get out of the big musées and discover places you never knew you wanted to? I mean, you're in Paris, for God's sake. You can't throw a pavé without hitting beautiful pieces of art. They're not all in museums. They're in gardens, on bridges, down hidden streets. Art is everywhere. Walk around and stumble upon it.
Sculpture by Dali (Amelia Wells)
Or if you're looking for a little more structure, here are a few ideas:
Find Monet elsewhere in Paris. If you want to see what inspired all the lily pad umbrellas and tote bags, head over to the Orangerie in the Jardin des Tuileries, renovated a few years ago. The enormity of Monet's paintings alone is stunning. And just on the edge of Paris, near the Bois de Boulogne is the Musée Marmottan Monet, which houses over 100 works by Monsieur Monet.
Rodin's "Eve" (Rachel So)
Ever heard of Rodin? There are more than 130 art museums in Paris. So don't just pin your trip on the two BIG ones. I was never much of a fan of Picasso until I went to the Musée National Picasso. (Sorry, that one is closed for renovations until 2013). Instead, make it a priority to see museums like ones dedicated to Auguste Rodin or Salvador Dalí, depending on your tastes. Continue Reading »

has risen 20% and the S&P 500 ( SPX.X) has risen 24%. "MCD shares are relatively inexpensive trading at a 25%-30% discount to quick service restaurant (QSR) peers on a P/E basis," Buckley wrote in note to clients on Wednesday. He also noted the company's significant quarterly payout of 77 cents a share, which works out to a dividend yield of 3.15%. McDonald's last week reported its global comparable sales in October were up 0.5% year-over-year, with U.S. growth of just 0.2% and growth in Europe of 0.8%. Meanwhile, comparable sales in the company's Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa (APMEA) markets were down 2.88%. The company said that the October figure for the U.S. was "dampened by comparison against the October 2012 Monopoly promotion and ongoing competitive activity." The APMEA decline was mainly driven by "negative results in Japan." For the third quarter, McDonald's reported net income of $1.552 billion, or $1.52 a share, increasing from $1.455 billion, or $1.43 a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 2% year-over-year to $21.013 billion in the third quarter. Buckley expects the company's comments at the investor day meeting -- the first under CEO Donald Thomson, who took over in July 2012 -- to focus on "basic execution, as opposed to something more dramatically new in strategic direction." The company is going through its fasted expansion of stores in 10 years, with estimated global united growth of 1,200 restaurants, or 3.5%, this year, however, a "meaningful" further expansion "would likely be poorly received by investors," according to the analyst.
