Origin, Definition, Significance Of Valentine's Day
Valentine day is truly a celebration amongst itself. The day perfectly crafted for the singles and for the couples. The days of Valentine provide the best step by step procedure for singles to get the hearts right.
While for the couples, who're already in love. These days refreshes all the magical moments of love. Over the year, 14th of February have helped thousands of hearts to find their sync.
This Valentine day before giving out astounding ideas to make it the perfect day. We would like you to throws some attentions on the history of Valentine's day.
Here are some of the topics we would be going through throughout the article.
1. When was the idea of Valentine originated?
2. What is the significance of Valentine's day?
3. What is the literal meaning of Valentine's day?
Origin Of Valentine's Day: –
Every piece of art has a secret story behind it. The secret behind the origin of Valentine was the Pagan festival of Lupercalia (1st century). A crazy party festival loved by every single man and woman.
What was so interesting about Lupercalia? On this day, goats were sacrificed to worship the Roman Goddess of Love. Roman men used to prepare whips made of goats. After preparing they would strip down naked and spank young maiden who refused to help increase their fertility.
How strange it may seem but it was amongst the major celebrations during the Roman time.
Significance of Valentine's Day: –
It was obvious that sooner or later the festival of Lupercalia needed to be improvised. Sacrificing innocent goats, running naked along the streets were against Christianity.
Unfortunately, Christianity was young to take hold over the Europe. Also, neither had the powers to change such festivals. But during this time something revolutionary happened which help human understand the feeling of love.
A big no to marriage! How would you react if your superior didn't allow to love or marry someone rest of your life? You may go nuts! This is what similar happened to the soldiers of the 3rd century.
Claudius II – the emperor of Roman Empire used to think love or marriages make men weak. The only way to be invincible was to never allow anyone to marry further.
St. Valentine a young saint started performing marriages in secret. But soon he was sentenced to death for against Emperor's orders. St. Valentine's death taught people about the gift of love. This was the significance of Valentine's day. Once a day of halt against wrong, and today a day of love. It is the God's way of telling the human kind about the beautiful feeling being present amongst them.
Definition Of Valentine Day: –
Valentine's day is not about exchanging Hallmark's gifts and flowers. This day is about celebrating love and being thankful for each other.
Instead of completing each other with the materialistic things in life. You should be further looking in life sharing each other sorrows, cherishable moments, and happiness in life.
That's all folks, happy Valentine's day!

High efficiency Porphyrin Sensitized Mesoscopic Solar Cells
Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) represents a reliable technology, ready for the market and able to compete with silicon solar cells for specific fields of application. Porphyrin dyes allow reaching high power conversion efficiency in conjunction with cobalt redox electrolytes due to larger open circuit potentials. The bigger size of the cobalt complexes compared to standard iodide/triiodide redox couple hampers its percolation through the meso-porous TiO2 network, thus impairing the regeneration process. In case of porphyrin dyes mass transport problems in the electrolyte need to be carefully handled, due to the large size of the sensitizing molecule and the bulky cobalt complexes. Herein we report the study of structural variations on porphyrin sensitizers and their influence on the DSSC performance with cobalt based redox electrolyte.

2 Tbl oil
2 cups quinoa
3 1/2 cups vegetable stock or water
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into cubes
2 medium beets, peeled and cut into cubes
3 Tablespoons oil
3 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Rinse the quinoa very well under running water for at least a minute. Heat the two tablespoons of oil in a pot and add the quinoa. Stir for a minute to toast the quinoa slightly. Add the stock or if you are using water add the water and season it with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer and simmer the quinoa for about 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Once the water is absorbed close the flame and leave the pot covered to let the quinoa steam. Uncover after 5 minutes, fluff the quinoa with a fork and let it cool.
Meanwhile, while the quinoa is cooking, preheat your oven to 375. On a baking tray place the cubed beets and sweet potatoes. Drizzle on the 3 Tablespoons oil, season with salt and pepper, mix and place in the oven. Roast the vegetables until they are easily pierced with a knife (the beets will be a bit firmer than the sweet potatoes).
To assemble, place the quinoa in a bowl. Top with the scallions, roasted beets and sweets. Drizzle the dressing over it all and garnish with the sesame seeds and chopped parsley.
For the Dressing:
1/2 cup tahini paste
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1 large clove garlic
4 Tablespoons Silan (or maple syrup or agave nectar)
1/3-1/2 cup warm water as needed
Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, salt, garlic and silan. The mixture will be thick and a little hard to mix. Slowly mix in the water adding as much as needed until you achieve the desired consistency (you should be able to drizzle it over the salad.)

(cl. 20d-24) We have filed applications in Germany on 8th Ju'ne, 1929; 29th December, 1930; 23rd March, 1932; '7th April, 1932; 7th April,- 1932 claiming the priority of 10th December, 1931; 15th May,
The present invention relates to processes and apparatuses for the production of oligodvnamically active substances for sterilizing and ldisinfecting. y 4
Itis known that silver and chlorine are substances whi'ch, even in the most highly diluted form (for example, in chloride-containing solutions containing lpart in 1 million parts or 1 part in several million parts), exert a sterilizing action on waterand also produce powerful disinfecting effects in the presence of other inorganic or organic solutions when brought into solution therein. Silver and. chlorine exhibiting the aforesaid properties are hereinafter termed oligodynamically active substances. 'The term oligodynamically active was originally employed by Ngeli only in connection with the'action ofv socalled pure metals in water to define the nature of the activity, and has since been employed by other writers in various slightly diierent meanings, but in this specification the term is'used in the above-defined sense. is based on the discovery that the so-called oligodynamic action of the metals, that is to lsay the Vgerm destroying action of the metals, particularly the precious metals, can be producedinthe highest degree by inserting the metals in `question as anodes in the circuit of an electric current. If, for example, two pieces of silver are suspended in any dilute electrolyte,.for example physiological common salt solution, and a weak current is passed through them, then only theanode silver plate becomes oligodynarnically active. If the said plate is placed on a cultivation surface which. has been sown with bacteria then it willbe 'o b-` served that after 24 hours the anode is surrounded by a space which is free from germs, whilst the space surrounding the cathode and the plate itself isv uniformly and thickly coated with bacte- ,45 ria colonies. The cathode. is meanwhile of pure discoveryis employed according to the invention in many novel technical applications. In the first place, silver or silvered chirurgical or hygienic instruments may, for example, be coatedl in dilute soda or common salt ,solution by means of The present invention the current passing through the anode with a 'layer of oligodynamically active substance,
which is then transmitted to the tissue in the living body and prevents infection. In particular,
such places as might be. damaged by pinching with forceps, tweezers, hooks, catheters and so forth in respect to their capacity as living organisms are protected against infection by the oligodynamically active substance.
It will, of course, be understood that the aforesaid action disappears gradually but itA can be renewed at any time by fresh anodization, activation, or' restoration of the oligodynamic action, and, in fact, the said operation may be effected whilst the apparatus is1 actually in the living body. The sterilization of the passagesof roots of teeth, which is known to be one of the most dimcult operations indentistry, can thus be effectedby inserting a silver wire which has been rendered active into the root passage and leaving it in this4 position, whilst from time to time by -means of adry battery, the cathode of which isv active 'substance adheres to the surfaces of the silver and physiological solution is thus gradually imparted by them to the living tissue, it is possible, in thecase of an electrolyte which is as weak as water and is only used in small quantitities, to effect sterilization very simply by either suspending in it a silver' plate which has previsilver electrodes of rod form and a dry battery-in a handleattached thereto, whereby within a few vseconds the necessary quantityof active material can. be introduced. yLarge quantities 4of water, particularly flowing water, can be sterilized if the coating of the silver by means4 of the current passing through the `anode is repeated from time to time or in a still simpler manner if an` intermittent or continuous current is passedthrough the silver anode, the cathode being composed of any desired suitable metal. The oligodynamic substance does not adhere in this case to the anode but is discharged from it in the form of clouds. For example, the water inya public bath (1000 cubic metres per day) was sterilized by employing an aggregate of plates which was not larger than the size of a hand arranged in front of the opening of the inlet pipe of the water container and provided with four silver anode plates measuring x 2 cm. which were fed with a continuous current of 1.25 amperes at 9 volts. Five copper plates arranged between the anodes externally thereof at a distance of 1 cm. were employed as cathodes. Provision was made by means of an automatic device to ensure that the passage of current was interrupted as soon as the ow of water ceased. Regular attention to the apparatus was hardly necessary but it was switched oi during the night, cleaned lby brushing from time to time and the silver electrodes which were connected together by means of a bow and weighed altogether 1 kilogramme wererenewed every three weeks because by that time they had dissolved except fora small residue. 'Ihe obvious idea of making the cathodes as well l y as the anodes of silver, and o f reversing the current from time to time was very soon given up, inasmuch as Vdisturbances arose which valmost defeated the objectin view. It is very important to construct the device in the proper form for the the differing constitution of the water which contained a much larger quantity of chlorides, constituents forming hardness and organic constituents, than the water employed in the rst mentioned bath installation. In order to avoid failmetres for water which is very impure.
ures itis thus necessary to determine in each lndividual case'the correct distance of the electrodes from one another.
The sterilization process for water is as sirnpleand inexpensive as is conceivably possi le, inasmuch as the cost of the current hardl comes into consideration and the amount, of silver-1 e'mployed islabout 15 to 20 grammes per thousand cubic metres for waters which are not very impure and about 50 grammes per thousand cubic Such quantities of silver are naturally entirely tasteless and harmless. l
It must be borne in4 mind that the oligodynamically active silver does not sterilize the water immediately but only in about 3 to 6 hours.
`When large water containers are at disposal the frame containing the aggregate of plates is mounted as above-described on the inlet pipe, i. e.
in front of the outlet opening thereof. If, however, the water before it is used has to pass over considerable distances aul intermediate arrangement may be employed in which the electrodes are preferably arranged concentrically and aremounted in ja T-piece inserted in the pipe in suchmanner that they are immersed fin' the Awater passing the pipe. In front of and'behind the T- piece shut-oir valves are l preferably arranged which are employed when itis necessary to renew or to clean the plate aggregate.
Inasmuch as experience has shown'that they 'oligodynamic effects are produced by pure substances and not, as has sometimes been maintained, by "contactf, itseemed to the applicants v that it must be possible to produce the said substances in a concentrated state. This has also been successfully effected in two ways. If the electrolytes are used in dilute solutions of N/500 a colloidal solution of active substance which can be stabilized by means of a protecting colloid, is obtained from the silver anode. If. now, the concentration of the'electrolytes is increased up to a figure of N/ 10 to N/20 a very nely divided powder is obtained which canbe easily removed from the anode and is very active. If still stronger solutions are useda slate-like material adhering to the silver is obtained which proves to be almost insoluble and inoperative.
It is, however, also possible to obtain oligodynamic effects if the current of low voltage passing through the anode is allowed to act on insolubleelectrodes, such as platinum, or Krupps metal, provided that a dilute electrolyte,.containing chlorides, is employed for\ carrying the, current.
Every natural water and also so-called dis.
tilled water contains, sumcient' quantities ci' chorides to develop under the inuence'of strong currents of-low voltage so much active chlorine,
on a non-corrodible anode that the Water is thereby sterilized, the oligodynamic eiect produced being precisely similar to that which is obtained in any natural water when silver anodes are used. In the latter case the chlorine passes on to the silver whilst in the former` case it is free. 'Ihis possibility has been hitherto overlooked although the production of chlorine from strong solutions of chloride has been known for a long time. I-Iitherto it was thought that ordinary water could only be sterilized by treating it with currents of high voltage which caused the development of active oxygen (03). According to the present invention the formation of ozone l' is intentionally prevented bythe use of currents oflow voltage for the reason that this gas smells badly and irritates the respiratory organs, whilst it does not operate so strongly bactericidally as the active chlorine. In order in spit/e oiqthis to' obtain sumciently strong currents which are necessary for the development of chlorine, the surfaces of the electrodes according to the invention are made as large as possible and their dise tance apart from one another is made as small as possible. Fory large quantities of water such as are employed for example for supplying vhath and similar installations, hotels and ships, a
tageously. mounted on the water pipe in question large plate device is used which may be advanin such manner thatthe gases (hydrogen and so forth) arising during the activation can escape. In this mannerone or more cubic metres of water per hour can be sterilized.
It is advantageous to add in the rst placeto the water which is to be sterilized some common salt, for example about 300 to 400 milligrammes per litre.- The taste is not altered therebybut the conductivity of the water andthe efficiency of the electric current is improved so that the ap? paratus maybe made smaller and the duration of the current treatment can be shortened. A further advantage of the addition of commonV salt resides in the fact that the natural waters which differ so considerably in ,their constitution are rendered similar to one another by the uniform addition of the comon salt. so that instructions for the use `of the apparatus can be given which hold good for each lindividual case. The addition of common salt according to the invention has l nothing to do with the proposal which has already been made to sterilize water by the electrolys'is of a strong .solution of conirnonv salt in a separate porous cell or acell bounded by a .diaphragm and allowing the chlorine which has developed to act upon the surrounding water by4 diffusion.
.As compared with the activation of the water of dental instruments for the purposei of internal l vquires to sterilize,'for `example when travelling,
or for household purposes, this fact is not of importance. The necessary supply of electricity is availableeverywhere nowadays. In a. ymotor car or motor-cycle accumulators `are available,
but in any case even the dry batters employed for pocket lamps suffice. The-Sina process which 'is suitable for small quantities of water thus forms a complement to the Cuma process, which latter serves for the sterilization of water on a large scale.
It is, however, also possible accordingto the same principle to sterilize very rapidly so-called physiological salt solutions as also hypoand hyper-tonic solutions serving for medical pur-` poses and thus to produce solutions having the highest degree of disinfecting power (similar to Dakins mouth wash employed in -the World War). 1 Inasmuch as the conductivity of solutions of this kind is much greater and theyield of active chlorine by'means of the current is very much more considerable, than with the ordinary water or waters to which only very little salt has been added, the apparatus can be made of still smaller size and it is sufficient to provide as electrodes two small platinum plates each having a-surface of 2 x 2 cm. and arranged parallel to one another at a distance of 1 to 2 millimetres apartin an insulating frame. If, now, the current from one or two accumulators is passed through the apparatus the sterilization of the salt solution takes place almost instantaneously. If the action of the current is prolonged to a period offfrom 10 to `20"minutes then the preparation of afdisinfecting .and therefore physiological solution is completed. Thel advantage offered by the ein ployment of this small apparatus fo'r the practical physician, for hospitals and for first-aid will be obvious. 1f. larger quantities of thesterilizing lor disinfecting solution are required the apparatus can naturally be constructed of greater size.
Some preferred constructional -forms of apparatuses for carrying out the process according to the invention in the various previously mentioned applications are illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings.
Referring to the drawings:
Figs. 1v and --2 each show an arrangement for the activation of chirurgical or Ihygienic silvered or silver instruments. l

The apparatus consists of two small platinum plates 62 each having a. surface of about 2 x 2 cm. and serving. as electrodes. xed at their outer part to insulating plates 63 and are arranged parallel to one another at a distance of 1 to`2 millimetres'apart upon a rod 64 serving as a handle. The current supply leads .for the small platinum plates are led through the interior of the rod or handle 64.
We claim:
1. A process for the production of oligodynamically active substances in water, on surgical instruments and in the form of concentrated solutions and powder, consisting in obtaining for these purposes oligodynamically active silver by passing an electric current throughV a dilute chloride-containing electrolyte ofv a strength of not more than N/20 between an insoluble cathode and a silver-containing anode; the voltage, the concentration of the electrolyte, the supercial area of the electrodes, and the distance `apart of the latter from one another being so chosen that currentdensitiesv of comparatively large magnitude are continuously maintained and lowr currentdensities are continuously avoided.
2. A process for the sterilization of water according to claim 1, in which anodes according to the composition of the water arel arranged at a distance of about 1 .to 2 centimeters away from the cathodes, the said distance varying with theV concentration of the electrolyte.
3. A process for the production of aligodynamically active substances in the form 0f col-l. loidal solutions which comprises passing a direct current from a silver anode to an insoluble cathode through a chloride solution containing a protective colloid and having a concentration ofapproximately N/500.
4. A process for the sterilization of water according to claim 1 in which the voltage is about 9 volts and the current density is approximately .8 ampere per sq. cm., and in which anodes according to the composition of the water Yare arranged at a distance of about 1 to 2 centimeters away from the cathodes, the said distance varying with the concentration of thel electrolyte.

Ever since the holy grail of gaming events, E3, took place, we have been teased with trailers and announcements to get the community psyched for what's to come. From new IPs to the seemingly endless possibilities of next-generation technology, there is a lot to be excited about.
If you've been following Katy's Corner for any amount of time, then you probably know that I love Telltale Games. So, I will try to control my fandom and write this from a calm, collected point of view.
"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
Player 1 Video Game Bar has celebrated its first birthday. It's hard to believe that a little over a year ago, I walked into the bar for my job interview. Even though the space was still finishing up construction, it was a beautiful sight to see. So. Much. Cool. Stuff.
Telltale Games has a remarkable track record for bringing us enthralling decision-driven games. Their take on The Walking Dead graphic novel won a series of awards, from "Game of the Year" at the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards to Digital Trends awarding of "Best Writing", along with many others.
Bioshock has made a name for itself in the video game industry. With beautifully crafted environments and characters, it's no surprise the developers would revisit the scene and add extra content well after the games release. Should Bioshock's most recent DLC be "Buried at Sea?" Click to find out!
2013 has been a great one for gaming. The responses from a community of gamers looking for their next high-definition fix have been loud, proud, and sometimes slightly illiterate. However, the point I am trying to make here is that I am so proud of the sheer passion evoked by the games of today. With giants like Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us and the recent Grand Theft Auto 5 to be discussed, there is plenty to say. And ya'll are saying it, as are the critics. There is one game that grasps at greatness with its obscenely bejeweled hands, and just misses the mark. A game that made me smile, laugh and generally have a great time, until it didn't. This, my friends, was Saints Row 4. For my full review, click above, duh.
Hello Player 1 members and fans! Welcome to Katy's Corner! Reviews, previews, editorials, event coverage, videos and more are coming your way from yours truly. A new blog on the Player 1 website where I hope to launch my budding career as a video game industry journalist.
Hello Players and Plus Ones alike! Many of you may know me as the friendly, albeit sometimes strong-willed girl who checks your IDs and gets you into our beloved bar as quickly and efficiently as possible. My work in our store really is only the tip of the iceberg to who I am and what I plan to do with my time on this Earth. Let's dive just a bit deeper and rewind to give you lovelies a better understanding of what's to come from Kitana's contributions to Player 1.

text: Editor's Note: This article was originally published at 6 a.m. EDT on Real Money on July 1. To see Jim Cramer's latest commentary as it's published, sign up for a free trial of Real Money.NEW YORK ( Real Money) -- The mergers went and disappeared. Sure, Monday marks the beginning of an auction for Onyx Pharmaceuticals ( ONXX), one of the best biotechs out there. This is a deal that will lead to huge value created for the shareholders of this amazing firm -- and maybe it will herald the beginning of a new wave of deals in a market starved for mergers and acquisitions. Somehow, though, I don't think so. The Onyx deal, borne of the lack of growth at its initial suitor, Amgen ( AMGN), should be a wake-up call to all of the firms like Amgen out there: Get your act together, and find a company that can make your shareholders richer when you acquire it. However, that doesn't seem to be the way of the world. In fact, it's the opposite. There's been this remarkable groupthink that acquisitions have led to failed enterprises, and that the best gains are happening via break-ups -- not by adding on to the institution. But compare that negative impression with the reality that's before us. Last week, ConAgra ( CAG) reported earnings, and it was a beautiful thing -- CEO Gary Rodkin's insistence on buying Ralcorp produced far more bottom-line benefit than anyone had thought, especially this early on in the consummation. ConAgra was able to break the gravitational pull of the 10-year Treasury bond, which had taken down many of the bond-market-equivalent stocks with its newly high yield. At ConAgra, the earnings were so strong that they allowed people to consider that more dividend boosts were on the horizon. That's how quickly this company has been able to pay down debt from the robust earnings. We saw the same thing, on a smaller scale, in the packaged-goods business, when B&G Foods ( BGS) bought Pirate's Booty. This was a large acquisition for an acquisitive company with a terrific track record in revitalizing older brands that previous ownership could no longer improve upon. Or consider the amazing appreciation of Tenet Health ( THC) on its acquisition of rival Vanguard Health Systems, or the huge run in the stock of Actavis ( ACT) after it acquired Warner Chilcott in an all-stock deal.

Tbilisi, Nov. 25 (Reuters): Georgias new leaders scored an early success today by getting a fractious parliament to set a January 4 date for fresh presidential polls, but warned the country faced economic crisis without western aid.
Deputies voted 155 to zero in favour of the date, turning out in force to answer an appeal by Mikhail Saakashvili, leader of the resistance to ousted President Eduard Shevardnadze, who warned a boycott could destabilise the volatile Caucasus state. Each of us carries a huge responsibility but I hope we will begin a new era of our countrys development, interim President Nino Burdzhanadze told the session before the vote was taken.
The Supreme Court, meanwhile, cleared the way for a separate new parliamentary election by quashing the results of most of this months disputed ballot. A new date for that must be set.
Fixing a new date for a Presidential contest is a key step in ensuring stability in Georgia after three weeks of protests culminated in Shevardnadzes resignation on Sunday.
Earlier, Georgias new leaders claimed a fresh scalp from among Shevardnadzes old allies forcing the resignation of state minister Avtandil Dzhorbenadze. His departure had been on the cards since Burdzhanadze denounced him for Georgias economic plight and for staging the disputed poll that set off protests and Shevardnadzes demise.
Russian foreign minister Igor Ivanov, who helped mediate an end to the three-week standoff, said it was clear in Georgia and other ex-Soviet states there had been attempts to interfere into internal affairs by certain countries and separate states.
Unfortunately, this is no exception. We face similar facts also in other cases, he said in Ukraine, without elaborating.
Parliaments session took place as a separatist leader said he would meet the heads of two other like-minded regions of Georgia to form a common stance after Shevardnadzes downfall.
The gathering in the Russian capital of officials from Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Adzhara was a reminder for Georgias new leaders of separatist passions pent up in the country. Burdzhanadze warned Georgia stood on the brink of economic collapse after the bloodless ousting of Shevardnadze and said drastic steps had to be taken to reverse the situation. She told officials in a televised broadcast the legacy of decline from his administration was even worse than we thought. The situation is very difficult. Yesterdays data shows that we are facing economic collapse, she said.
She called for radical measures, but offered few details beyond urging state enterprises to work at full capacity. Her warning clearly prefaced fresh appeals to the West to help the ex-Soviet country where the average monthly income is about $40.
We have to ask our foreign colleagues to help us in this situation, she said.
The 11-year rule of Shevardnadze, praised in the West as Soviet foreign minister for helping end the Cold War, was marked by rising poverty, chronic corruption and separatist rebellions.
Georgias new leaders, including Saakashvili, a US-educated lawyer tipped as a possible future President, face an uphill battle to right the country.


text: Kelly Brook on her Italian getaway is almost single-handedly saving what has been a rather ho-hum summer for bikini shots. Not sure why we're not seeing more of the hotties out there in the sweet beach gear, but the content definitely seems down from last year. Doesn't matter though, because Kelly is here to make everything better just by chilling in volcanic pools in little frilly bikinis, bending over and touching herself a lot. Thank goodness there was a high enough ledge for some adventurous photographer to snap some top down shots of Kelly in that outfit as well. I cropped these heavily to keep the focus on Kelly, but if you look at the originals, you'll notice that this lagoon or whatever was fairly crowded with people. Next to none of them seemed to even notice Kelly. They must be acting cool, because even if they don't know who she is, you can't ignore a beauty like Kelly. There's no way I could be cool like that. I'd just be the dumbass frozen in place, drooling from my open mouth, my eyes permanently locked on her tits. They'd have to drag me out of there on a stretcher.

CRIMSON TIDE. Tony Scott, director of Top Gun, once again glorifies a division of the armed forces with commercial editing rhythms, overpowering sound effects and monotonously slick cinematography. This time the action takes place aboard a nuclear submarine, which may or may not have orders to launch the first strike of World War III. Though mutiny and torpedo battles are involved, the movie's only real meat comes from the verbal sparring between Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman, two stereotypically diametrical officers who argue endlessly over a trumped-up ethical question about whether to follow orders or follow your heart. Even without a periscope, you can see the finish coming from miles away.
DOLORES CLAIBORNE. In what you might call a female version of Stephen King's The Shawshank Redemption, Kathy Bates stars as a long-enduring widow who is suspected of having killed her husband many years ago. Jennifer Jason Leigh plays her edgy daughter who returns home when Bates is implicated in another death. The mystery that follows is less a mystery than the unearthing of a pain-filled domestic past. Directed in a pungent Gothic style by Taylor Hackford, the movie rises high above the exploitative nature of its material thanks to stunning imagery, emotionally stark sequences and Bates' solid performance.
DON JUAN DEMARCO. As best-lover-in-the-world performances go, Johnny Depp does surprisingly well in this frivolous ode to the pleasures of giving love. With his Spanish accent and confident, soothing manner, you almost believe he could make women melt at his touch. Marlon Brando, meanwhile, does not convey such charisma. Playing the psychiatrist who tries to understand Depp's fantasy, Brando appears to be walking through the movie to pick up a paycheck. Fat and lackluster, Brando does his best to make sure all his scenes (even with Faye Dunaway, who tries her best) fall embarrassingly flat.
THE ENGLISHMAN WHO WENT UP A HILL BUT CAME DOWN A MOUNTAIN. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. Though blessed with the acting charms of Hugh Grant, Colm Meaney and Tara Fitzgerald, this tale of Welsh villagers who contrive to add 20 feet to a nearby hill so that mappers will label it a mountain is simply too thin to warrant feature film status. It's an inoffensive, cute little story that has very little in the way of surprises, laughs or insight.
FORGET PARIS. Director-actor Billy Crystal has created a new, rather bland concoction: Woody Allen Lite. In this all-too-formulaic tale of the ups and downs of a relationship, Crystal tries, with occasional success, to turn the banal disappointments of marriage into comic fodder. Co-starring with Debra Winger (who comes across as attractive but oddly unsympathetic), Crystal's livelier gags soon give way to masturbation jokes and mediocre, forced melodrama. It's sort of like When Harry Almost Divorced Sally. And oooh, somebody turn down that saccharine lite-jazz score.
French Kiss. Meg Ryan's shtick as a naive, pouty, perky romantic lead has officially worn out its welcome. In what amounts to When Pierre Met Sally, Ryan and co-star Kevin Kline undergo a long friendship/courtship while Ryan sneaks around France plotting to win back her fiance (Timothy Hutton), who has fallen for a Parisian barbie-doll type. Kline rises to the occasion as an impotent, heavily accented jewel thief, but for once, Ryan's wide-eyed mannerisms fail her. Wet-duck-fuzz hair aside, Ryan is beginning to look like the Doris Day of the '90s. The slapstick script, which includes scenes of our heroine vomiting due to lactose intolerance and toppling backwards over a dessert cart, doesn't help.
KISS OF DEATH. Loosely translated, the title might as well read "sex and violence," which is about all this David Caruso vehicle has to offer. It certainly doesn't have anything worthwhile going on in its story, a feeble blend of the usual cops-and-mobsters elements. And Caruso's performance, with his television-trained tics and eyebrow raising, is sadly limited. The whole enterprise looks and feels an awful lot like a TV program, and you'll probably walk out miffed you paid cash for what is essentially an episode of NYPD Blue with a more lenient censor. Nicolas Cage and Samuel Jackson also star, in roles so unimaginative that each is given a colorful physical ailment (asthma and a broken tear duct, respectively) to make them more interesting. It doesn't work.
MY FAMILY. This epic-length tale of a Los Angeles Mexican family is divided into a triptych centering on three men: the '20s father whose endurance allowed the family to take roots in this new land; the '50s son whose rejection of his father's values leads to tragedy; and the other, younger son who in the '80s must reconcile his identification with both men. Jimmy Smits gives a strong performance in the latter role, and the film's storybook quality has appeal. But too many corny, watered-down or otherwise ill-conceived scenes rob the picture of any real impact outside of being a fond family memoir.
PANTHER. Nobody can say that Mario Van Peebles lacks energy. His docudrama about the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party is aswirl with camera movement, Oliver Stone-esque editing, blustering rhetoric and non-stop gunplay. What Mario Van Peebles does lack is restraint, and that's a big problem. Not only does it become increasingly exhausting to try to keep up with who's who among the complicated network of key Panthers, but the facts are stretched to such extremes you leave the theater wondering if anything presented was true. The film ends by explaining that the FBI introduced cheap drugs into black neighborhoods in order to discourage black activism, and that's the reason drugs have so corroded our society.
THE PEREZ FAMILY. This rich, colorful film from director Mira Nair (Mississippi Masala) follows the attempt of a Cuban refugee (Alfred Molina) to reunite with his American wife (Anjelica Huston) after 20 years. Marisa Tomei heats up the screen as a saucy prostitute who accompanies him, and Chazz Palminteri provides low-key charm as a policeman with an eye for Huston. Though laced with themes about multiculturalism and the American Dream, the movie is primarily a tale of old love versus new. Nair's attention to detail and deft creative touches manage to give the picture both emotional weight and a buoyant, fanciful spirit.
PULP FICTION. Quentin Tarantino's second outing as director/screenwriter shifts from the tight plotting and characterization of Reservoir Dogs to a sprawling, meandering format that (barely) weaves three urban crime stories together. Tarantino, a talented writer, goes on several banal dialogue binges and then adds his customary unsettling explosions of violence. On a few occasions, the mixture is gritty fun; on more than a few others, it becomes tedious. With interesting performances by John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Rosanna Arquette, Eric Stoltz, Samuel L. Jackson and Maria de Medeiros.
THE QUICK AND THE DEAD. Sam Raimi, best known for the Evil Dead series, directs this surrealistically action-packed Western (based entirely on a gunfight contest) as if he'd taken the title to heart and slowing down would kill him. Every sequence spills over with visual punchlines, obnoxiously funny zoom-in shots and ferocious one-liners. It's almost too much movie for itself, and protagonist Sharon Stone can't anchor the picture the way it needs; her Clint Eastwood-style sullenness lacks substance. But the gallery of supporting actors, which includes Lance Henriksen, Leonard DiCaprio, Gene Hackman (doing a twisted take on his evil sheriff role from Unforgiven), fill the movie with so much wanton charisma that Stone's performance as the "straight man" actually starts working after a while. It's a weird picture where A-movie and B-movie qualities are blended at such a high velocity that you start to lose track of which is which.
ROB ROY. Pass the Scot tissue--here's yet another highland film bent on glorifying men with heavy accents, long hair and big morals. Liam Neeson plays the honorable title character with his usual hard-to-resist charm; and Tim Roth, as the jaded, fearsome and strangely effeminate villain, is the perfect antithesis to the hero. But the movie lingers over its themes with dull reverence, never mustering up enough cinematic oomph to add meat to its message. Something is amiss when a movie about primal purity adopts the pacing of a tea party.
VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED. Based on the British 1960 chiller of the same name, this John Carpenter picture follows what happens when several women in a quaint northern town mysteriously and simultaneously become pregnant. Their offspring: eight white-haired geniuses with telepathic powers and a collective mean streak. Though the material needed to be better updated to justify a remake (as it stands, it looks like a cheesy episode of X-Files), Carpenter directs with his usual immense skill, and the campy selection of players--Christopher Reeve, Kirstie Alley, Mark Hamill--give surprisingly engaging performances.
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING. This romantic comedy provides Sandra Bullock, last seen as the bus driver in Speed, the chance to capitalize on all her best (and most obvious) qualities: her boisterous laugh, her uncertain smile, her shy sex appeal. Bullock plays a lonely subway-booth clerk whose dreams of finding Mr. Right are realized after she pretends to be a comatose man's fiancee (so if you want to get technical about it, the film should really be titled While You Were Comatose). Bill Pullman, as the eventual suitor, is Bullock's appealing mirror image: they're the model of coupled cuteness. Unfortunately, this cuteness is infectious, turning into a disease that spreads over the whole movie until even the loathsome and tacky characters start acting cuddly. It's a bit much.

Q.A month or so ago I purchased the Microsoft "Office standard 2007" and ran into a problem with "Outlook".
I have used Outlook Express for a number of years and have 1,000-plus e-mail addresses. These addresses were entered using Outlook Express to get the address list in order of last names. When I tried to import these addresses to Outlook, it came out with the order of first names (Jim, Jim, Jim, John, John, John etc.) Since I did not wish to re-type all the addresses into the new system I gave up and went back to Express.
Your advice appeared in the Virginian Pilot 1/21/08 suggesting that the reader shift to Outlook for better security. I can not agree if someone has an extensive list of e-mail addresses. The only thing I did not try was to order my Outlook Express by first names and import that into Outlook. The ability to order the names in Outlook does not seem to exist. Even the means to enter the new names did not allow the data to be entered identifying first and last names.
iGirl:Thanks for the note. Outlook does allow for sorting of contacts by last name, it's just somewhat difficult to find. Here's how:
1. Open Microsoft Outlook.
2. On the welcome screen, in the lower left-hand corner you'll see a heading for "Contacts." Click on this to open your contacts.
3. In the left pane you'll see "Customize Current View." Click on this to change the appearance of your contacts.
4. A pop-up window will appear on your screen. Click on "Sort."
5. Another window will pop up. First, click on the arrow below "Sort items by" and this will open up a menu. Select "Last Name." You can also choose to sort the contacts by company, country or many other fields. Click on your selection then click the "OK" button.
6. Not all of my contacts have a last name entered. If you're like me, Outlook will display a pop-up window that says "The field 'Last Name' that you want to sort by is not shown in the view. Do you want to show it?" This is just a warning that not all of the contacts can be sorted by last name. Still, it's a valuable way to view contacts so click "Yes."
7. To finalize the change, click "OK" on the last pop-up window or the customization will not save.
Have your own quandary? E-mail iGirl at firstname.lastname@example.com and put "Help ME!" in the subject line. Visit the archive at ocregister.com/gadgetress/stump.

Will she give any signs so you know?

You can only tell based on the connection that you have. If you don't know her, it is easy for her to have said no and she probably, at the very least, is just interested to see if there is potential v. full on being interested. At the end of the date if you suggest drinks after or another date and she doesn't really seem interested, that is a sure sign to know how the date went.00|00|0

Quadrant Communications has been assigned the advertising and communication duties of Balaji's Institute of Creative Excellence (ICE). The win comes on the back of a multi-agency pitch that saw the participation of five agencies.
On the decision to choose Quaadrant, Punyashlok Bhakta, CEO – New Media, Balaji Telefilms, said, "There were five agencies that had pitched for the account. Of these, we felt that Quadrant had the right mix of excitement towards and understanding of the various businesses, passion for and pride in their work, and the willingness to go the extra mile. We were looking at a single agency to work across all our businesses within the Media & Education space. Hence, the pitch was to understand, assess and fix on an agency that can partner with us across businesses."
Commenting on the win, Rajan Narayan, President & Chief Executive, Quadrant Communications Ltd, said, "Quadrant won the account after a multi-agency pitch in which the agency presented a brand campaign for ICE based on a sound insight and out-of-the-box creative thinking. We did a lot of ground work and sought to work out what is it that the TG (students) are looking for."
There was no incumbent on the business, however, Rediffusion Y&R had done a one-off project for one of ICE's businesses. Quadrant will be working on multiple businesses and each would have a particular budget allocated for advertising and marketing. The focus media for each of the companies would differ to suit individual business requirements. But on the whole, they would be looking largely at print and radio in terms of ATL and the digital medium in a big way, both for consumer acquisition and engagement needs. Apart from this, there will be a fair amount of BTL activities, including innovative ground events and consumer promotions.
Institute of Creative Excellence (ICE) is a part of Balaji Telefilms, one of India's largest film and television production companies. ICE is devoted to bridging the considerable gap for professionals that exists within the media and entertainment industry, by providing world-class quality education. Courses in all major specialisations like Acting, Cinematography, Direction, Editing, Production, Scriptwriting and Sound will be offered by ICE as part of its product bouquet.
Balaji Telefilms was incorporated in the year 1994 and changed Indian television forever. Riding on the success of its shows, Balaji Telefilms rose to unprecedented heights in the late 1990s and 2000s. It pioneered the growth of Hindi television channels, which eventually led to Hindi general entertainment channels dominating prime time entertainment.
Quadrant Communications is a full-service advertising agency providing clients with 360 degree marketing communications solutions as well as direct marketing, brand strategy, media solutions, public relations, exhibitions, retail solutions, feature film associations, and so on.

Why does your baby seems to grunt and strain all day
Usually when a baby is grunting and straining they probably are working on a bowel movement or they have gas. To help your baby you can rub their belly in a circular motion, bicycle their legs, put them in a warm bath or burp them. Newborns often seem to spend a long time trying to poop before they poop. This is normal and they are just learning how their body works and that to do with their muscles.
I used to call Mason my little pig because all he did for the first few days of his life was grunt!! He was congested and was having trouble breathing and, as you mentioned, was getting used to learning how to use the muscles he needed to use to poop!
This is Lucas' tell tale sign of 'I'm pooping' lol.
Excellent post! Yes rubbing their tummy works wonders ... I have found this also helps my youngest if she has a tummy ache...

|Worst team in the league.
|Ric Bucher ESPN Mag
|Transient teams never do well in seasons as long as the NBA's. Chris Paul will provide moments of excitement.
|John Carroll Scouts Inc.
|Paul and J.R. Smith will give the Hornets a young and exciting backcourt, and P.J. Brown is a legit power forward who has not only talent but experience. Look for the Hornets to improve slightly on last year's 18 wins.
|Chad Ford ESPN Insider
The Hornets are slowly getting better. Rookie Paul should make the Hornets respectable, but that's about it.
|John Hollinger ESPN Insider
|As if Hurricane Katrina didn't do enough to damage the spirits of the good people of Louisiana, now they have to watch the Hornets. At least Paul and Smith give them hope for the future.

|Tim Legler ESPN

|Say a prayer for P.J. Brown.
|Jim O'Brien ESPN
|The difficulties Katrina presents to this franchise and the youth in the backcourt are too much to overcome for Byron Scott. Paul is a very good pick, but in the NBA, the point guard spot is a difficult one to manage as a rookie.
|Will Perdue ESPN Insider
|Keep an eye on Smith. This kid is explosive. The team's record will improve, but the position in the conference will stay the same. If you're not the lead dog, the view never changes.
|Chris Sheridan ESPN.com Insider
|An absolute shambles of an organization from top to bottom. With Jeff Bower trading Magloire, and possibly Brown, too, it could be a sign the Hornets will stay in Oklahoma City for two years, not one.
|Marc Stein ESPN.com
|This was going to be a difficult season without the Hurricane Katrina-induced upheaval the Hornets face now. The harsh reality is that there won't be any mercy from the rest of the West.
|Starters: A nice mix of young and old, but it doesn't add up to good.
|Great guy, but he's getting old. And he ain't a bottle of wine.
|Has a rep for being a shooter. He'll get to show why.
Magloire *
|Hope he enjoyed '04 because his All-Star days are over.
|Highlight reel who should finish plenty of Paul alley-oops.
|All signs point to future greatness. Future greatness.
|Bench: Speedy Claxton, Chris Andersen, Rasual Butler, David West. It could be worse. Not much. But it could be. Seriously.

ESPN The Magazine's NBA Preview hits newsstands Oct. 26.
Chris Andersen
Player Efficiency Rating
vs. NBA Avg: +3.54
Look past Chris Andersen's annual embarrassments in the dunk contest and you'll see one of the game's most productive frontcourt players. Andersen is one of the best-leaping big men in the game, making him a force around the basket. He's at his best when fed for alley-oops in transition, where he can soar over opponents for dunks. His hops also give him an advantage slamming home offensive boards, and they carry him on the defensive end, as well, as he is one of the game's better rebounders and blocked a shot every 14 minutes, on average.Andersen rounded out his game by improving his other offensive skills. He stopped trying to handle the ball on the break, which had been a turnover waiting to happen when he was a Nugget. He developed a more reliable jumper from 12 to 15 feet, providing a reliable alternative to the dunk. And he added 100 points at the foul line, which is important because he averaged better than a free throw for every two field-goal attempts. Andersen's biggest weakness is a lack of muscle. This was especially notable last year with him playing center, as he gives up 40 pounds to his opponent almost every night. That makes him a liability in post defense and renders him less effective on the glass. Because of the lack of brawn, he can't establish effective post position offensively. Of course, if he returns to his natural power forward spot, the strength issue should be less of a factor. In any case, Andersen was easily the Hornets' best player. Considering how well he played and how bad the rest of the Hornets were, it's puzzling that he played only 21 minutes a game. For much of the year, Byron Scott started Rodney Rogers at power forward instead of Andersen, even though Rogers looked as though he had just gotten back from the Bellagio lunch buffet while Andersen was putting up monstrous numbers (for a Hornet) off the bench. It's an all-too-common example of a coach riding a familiar player (Rogers played for Scott in New Jersey) even when said player was obviously in need of replacement. Andersen had played well in Denver, too, but he has been virtually ignored on the free-agent market. He signed for the relative pittance of $1.5 million last season and didn't command top dollars on the free-agent market even after his big year. His is the latest example of when teams look at per-game averages instead of per-minute performance and miss out on a talented player as a result.
-- Hornets player profiles from John Hollinger's "Pro Basketball Forecast: 2005-06," available at Amazon.com and Potomac Books.
When the fans in Oklahoma City cheer, for whom will they be cheering. We asked SportsNation:
Who will lead the Hornets in scoring?
53.0% J.R. Smith
26.1% Jamaal Magloire
15.6% Chris Paul
5.3% P.J. Brown
Legs on Hornets: The Hornets were, let's just say, not very good last year. I am not going to beat up a team when it's down.
The devastating effects of Mother Nature on New Orleans will force the Hornets to relocate at least temporarily. Too bad they couldn't relocate out of this division.
It isn't all bad news, however, because first-round pick Chris Paul (point guard) is my preseason pick for rookie of the year. Second-year player J.R. Smith is one of the most exciting young players in the league.
And, of course, I have to put a shout-out to newcomer and fellow La Salle alum Rasual Butler.
But beyond that, it's going to be a whole lot of blues in the Bayou.
Tim Legler, ESPN Insider
Byron Scott
Experience: 5 years
Reg. season record: 167-203
Playoff record: 25-15
Coach's profile
Byron Scott handles adversity with dignity. Last year's difficulties and the devastation of Katrina are difficult pills to swallow. Injuries led to a poor start, and the Hornets never recovered.
Scott will try to find some early wins using Paul and Smith in the backcourt with Speedy Claxton competing for time.
Jim O'Brien, ESPN Insider
With former franchise linchpins such as Baron Davis and David Wesley traded last season, Charlotte/New Orleans/Oklahoma City/Baton Rouge has to develop new scoring options.
The Hornets were unsuccessful last year, making them the league's worst offensive team in terms of points per possession, and this year might not be a major improvement. Paul adds a steady hand at the point, but the man he replaces, Dan Dickau, was the team's best shooter last year. Arvydas Macijauskas also will help, but he's more of a secondary option who will rely on teammates to find him for open shots.
Thus, the pressure will be on veteran center Jamaal Magloire, who missed most of last season with a broken finger. The Hornets will run a lot of their half-court sets through him and hope he can draw double-teams to create shots for the others, especially sharpshooters such as Macijauskas and forward Bostjan Nachbar.
Magloire's return also cements the team's one true strength: For a bad team, the Hornets have an unusually talented frontcourt. Chris Andersen is one of the league's most underrated big men and was easily the Hornets' best player last season (for what that's worth), and veteran P.J. Brown is a solid defender and rebounder. Add in third-year forward David West, who also missed much of last year with an injury, and developing big men Maciej Lampe and Jackson Vroman, and it's a playoff-caliber big-man rotation.
Sleeper: P.J. Brown does pretty much the same thing every season, and still fantasy owners look elsewhere for someone younger, with more potential to score and rebound? What's wrong with a durable fella who gets you 10 points, nine rebounds consistently and hits his shots? Nothing. Brown barely goes in the top 10 rounds in fantasy. Don't draft unproven kids who might not play over him.
Bust: Speedy Claxton has called four franchises home in four seasons. How long before he's on the move again? The Hornets are going with top pick Chris Paul as leader, leading scorer, future of the franchise. Claxton did very little after coming over in the Baron Davis trade. As reserve point guards go, fantasy owners can do better.

Two factors define the position of BASS Federation Nation Championship qualifier Jamie Laiche going into the Oct. 27-29 competition: 1) He's from Gonzales, La.; and 2) He's from Gonzales, La.
Because the competition will be on the Red River out of Shreveport-Bossier City, La., Laiche's Gonzales address makes him the home-state favorite. Viewed from a second angle, his Gonzales address means that if he's successful in the championship, he'll qualify to compete on home waters, again, in the 2011 Bassmaster Classic, which is set for Feb. 18-20 on the Louisiana Delta out of New Orleans.
"If I make it to the Classic, I would consider myself a local because the Classic's Bayou Segnette launch site is about an hour from my house. I've fished that area quite a bit," Laiche said.
He is only one of 55 entrants in next week's Federation Nation event. They represent 47 states and six foreign countries. The overall champ will win a Skeeter/Yamaha bass rig valued at $60,000. The winners in each of six divisions will advance to the 2011 Bassmaster Classic.
The Red River event will be Laiche's third time in "the Nationals," as many Federation members refer to their championship. He was successful in 2007 in qualifying for the 2008 Classic, and now he's looking for his second trip to the tournament to beat all tournaments.
"It could be on the very northern tip of the United States, and it would still be very cool to make it to the Classic. But being out of southern Louisiana, this Classic would be even more special to me," said Laiche, who said he has recovered from a serious arm and hand injury that sidelined him for many months. The remaining partial numbness of one hand doesn't cramp his fishing, he said.
Laiche's experience and success on the Red might help him. In 2008, he finished 10th in a Bassmaster Central Open there. He was also one of the six members of the winning team in the 2007 BASS Club World Championship held on the Red.
But fishing home water could also hold him back. Laiche said he will lose any Red River advantage he has if he can't resist the impulse to "fish the past," the term anglers use to describe a common shortcoming: inability to recognize changes in fish behavior and location because the past clouds the angler's judgment.
"We all have trouble with that when we're fishing home water or water we know well," Laiche said.
To come up to speed, he spent three long weekends on the Red before the Oct. 16 cutoff.
"The river was fishing really tough," he said. "The water was a little lower than normal, and lower than I like it. I think the river fishes better when the water's higher. The times I was there, there wasn't much current. Bites were few and far between."
Water level and current aren't likely to change much for the tournament, he said, so water temperatures could rule the bite. If the water cools by tournament time, that could trigger a shad migration to shallower areas, and thus a better bass bite, he said.
As the only competitor from Louisiana, Laiche is sure to get extra fan and media attention in Shreveport-Bossier City, but his is not the only interesting story about the Federation Nation Championship. Many people will be watching their state's sole entrant, as well as other anglers, for their unique stories. A sample:
- Jay Evans of Corvallis, Mont., will be out to earn his second Bassmaster Classic berth. He competed in the 2009 Classic, which was, coincidentally, on the Red River. He finished 25th in that Classic.
- Scott Parker of Londonderry, N.H., is trying for his second Classic appearance. Like Evans, he was in the 2009 Red River Classic, where he finished 31st.
- Randy Phillips of Oxford, Mass., as the 2009 Federation Nation Championship winner, has an automatic entry into the 2010 event. He will be attempting to put together back-to-back Classic qualifications; if successful, he would be the only Federation repeat in 2011 from 2010.
- Joey Nania of Liberty Lake, Wash., at age 19, has a shot at becoming the youngest Classic qualifier in history. A two-time Junior Bassmaster World champion, he now has both eyes on a pro career. He got a good look at the Red River in early June when he competed there in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open, but he didn't do well there — 101st of 185 pro-division anglers.
- Ron Ryals of Live Oak, Fla., is this year's entrant from the Paralyzed Veterans of America. He was the organization's Angler of the Year.
- The six non-U.S. entrants are Isauro Tijerina of Mexico; Dave Rochette of Canada; Mike Macdonald of Zimbabwe; Alessio Telese of Italy; Justy Varkevisser of South Africa; and Ryuji Saho of Japan.
While championship contenders are on the Red River the final day, the 2010 Junior Bassmaster World Championship will take place on nearby Cross Lake. Twelve young anglers in two age groups (11-14; 15-18) will vie for scholarship money. The Junior anglers will weigh their catches Oct. 29 on the Bassmaster stage at Red River South Marina beginning at 3:30 p.m. CT, just before the adults being their finale weigh-in.
Coverage will be online at Bassmaster.com beginning Wednesday, Oct. 27, and continuing through Friday, Oct. 29 with a live leaderboard, photo galleries and results each day.
Fans are invited to the 7:30 a.m. CT launches and 3:30 p.m. CT weigh-ins at Red River South Marina in Bossier City. All events are free and open to the public.
