Libor Polášek (born April 22, 1974 in Nový Jičín, Czechoslovakia) is a retired Czech professional ice hockey centre.
Polášek was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks 21st overall in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft from HC Vitkovice of the Czech Extraliga with the hope of seeing the tall center develop into a player similar to Mark Messier. He however turned out being unable to live up to the expectations, failing to even make any kind of impact at the minor league level. During his stay with the Hamilton Canucks and the Syracuse Crunch, the then farm teams of the Vancouver Canucks in the American Hockey League, he registered only 20 goals over four seasons. Even further down, at the ECHL level, with the South Carolina Stingrays, Polášek was unable to perform at the level he was expected to, failing to even register a point in 7 games. In 1995, Polášek returned to his home Czech Republic with his former HC Vitkovice team. Even at home, Polášek was not the impact player the Canucks scouts once thought he should have been, scoring only 41 goals in eleven years in the Czech and Slovak leagues.
Those performances were unsurprisingly not well received by the Canucks fans. Usually regarded one of the worst NHL first-round draft picks the Canucks ever made - CNNSI.com's 2001 profile of Canuck draft busts (Say it ain't so: Transactions that broke our hearts) even states that "Polasek fared worse than the previous three (first-round busts Dan Woodley, Jason Herter and Alek Stojanov) combined -- he never played in an NHL game. In fact, one is hard-pressed to even find statistics on Polasek in many hockey annals." The Vancouver Sun's Iain MacIntyre also wrote in 2001 that if "nuclear winter" set in due to the Canuck draft record in the 80s, then the team "detonated the H-bomb on themselves in 1992 in the form of Libor Polasek, who soon vanished. Not so the Canucks' reputation for picking more duds than CBS programmers."

Peter Wallace has re-signed with Penrith for two more NRL seasons.
The Panthers announced on Monday the contract extension that will keep the hooker at the club until at least the end of 2018.
"I couldn't see myself playing for any other club at this stage of my career," Wallace said.
"There's a great bunch of boys here at the Panthers and the club is going in the right direction with everything off the field as well.
"The whole place is buzzing and I'm just really happy to be a part of it."
"I've known for a while now that the switch to hooker is a permanent one for me but I'm genuinely enjoying my footy there."
Panthers supremo Phil Gould paid tribute to Wallace.
"He is one of the toughest individuals I have met in all my time in rugby league," he said.
"He has overcome immense personal challenges over the past few seasons and is truly an inspiration to all the young players at the Panthers.
"He is a tremendous role model both on and off the field.
"Peter has taken the change of playing positions in his stride and is making a valuable contribution each and every time he plays. We are lucky to have him here at the Panthers."

The San Antonio-based company's flagship product AbilityScreen™, is a cloud-based technical assessment service used by companies to evaluate technical job candidates. AbilityScreen allows hiring managers and recruiters to measure a technical candidate's ability within the technologies, platforms, vendor certifications and industry standards that their company uses today, or plans to use. AbilityScreen tests candidate's ability to solve real issues in a live server environment, in contrast to traditional phone screen questioning, written testing and in-house break-fixes. An AbilityScreen puts a technical candidate in their natural environment, the environment they would be in at the job, to demonstrate what their current level of expertise is—from anywhere in the world. AbilityScreen can evaluate the candidate's ability to think critically and leverage resources, and how well he or she will adapt to learning new things on the fly. "The demand for qualified technical expertise in the enterprise has changed, but the way we screen and hire these candidates has not," said Graham Weston, lead investor and Chairman of Rackspace. "TrueAbility can evolve this space much to the benefit of companies everywhere." Companies and Organizations Worldwide Spend Billions of Dollars A Year Struggling To Find Qualified Technical Talent "We've built TrueAbility based on the team's collective experience of 30 years in learning how to best recruit technical talent," stated Luke Owen, CEO. "The technical recruiting process today is archaic. We can help companies and organizations worldwide recruit the right talent, save money and architect the right technical talent strategy." (Editor's note: YouTube video with Luke Owen regarding the announcement may be viewed here: http://youtu.be/2HDPMQDtAJw ) TrueAbility is currently concluding their closed beta, and are targeting mid Q1 2013 for the public release of their ground-breaking assessment service.

South Oldham's Jasmine Whitfield, a Cincinnati signee scored 25 points, but it was her defense out of South's variety of looks that gave the Lady Bearcats the most trouble. At one point in the first half, Whitfield stole the ball near mid-court on three straight Lady Bearcat possessions, converting two into layups.

"TRAQS staff were polite and helpful"
About: NHS Telford and Wrekin CCG NHS Telford and Wrekin CCG TF7 4BF Telford referral and quality service (TRAQS) Telford referral and quality service (TRAQS) TF7 4BF
Posted by Patchy624 (as ),
The reason I have only given the "3" rate of okay for GP referral is because the nurse at our practice carried out a hearing test for me in late June. However, it took 3 phone calls to the surgery before TRAQS was told of my need for an appointment referral approximately 3 weeks later.
The TRAQS ladies I spoke to advised me to contact the GPs surgery to find out the cause of the delay as they had not received my details (they were polite and helpful).
Once they received my details I was contacted immediately by their member of staff in a letter of confirmation followed quickly covering all the information.
Response from Cathie McKenzie, Patient Advisor, TRAQS, NHS Telford and Wrekin CCG 4 years ago
Thank you for your feedback.
I am sure you will appreciate we are unable to comment on the service provided by your GP Practice which resulted in the delay in forwarding your referral to TRAQS. However, I am pleased to note that once received by TRAQS you were contacted immediately and the appointment process explained in detail.

British actor, writer, and musician Dudley Moore died on March 27, 2002. The official cause of death was pneumonia, but in truth, Moore had been battling progressive supranuclear palsy for many years (although he only publicly admitted to having the disease in September 1999).

What Is Progressive Supranuclear Palsy?

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a degenerative brain disorder that gets worse over time. Its symptoms come from the gradual deterioration of brain cells in the part of the brain that controls vision and movement (brainstem). PSP is sometimes called Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome, after the physicians who first identified it as being related to Parkinson's disease but a distinct disorder in itself. Its cause is unknown.

PSP is estimated to affect 1.4 people per 100,000 around the world. Men are affected slightly more than women, and symptoms typically begin between the ages of 50 and 60 years old.

Symptoms: Often Misdiagnosed

The most obvious and characteristic symptoms of PSP involve vision problems, such as light sensitivity, double and blurred vision. This occurs because people with PSP are unable to aim their eyes properly. Other symptoms may include:

Difficulty or unsteady walking and keeping one's balance

Slow movements

Prone to accidents and falling down, which often give the appearance of alcohol abuse.

Trouble swallowing and speaking (slurring of words is common)

Suffer from memory loss

Have difficulty thinking

There may be mood changes such as depression

A progressive, mild dementia

The symptoms of PSP increase over time and are often first misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's disease, or an inner-ear problem, or signs of a stroke.

Diagnosis of PSP

Diagnosis is made on the symptoms since there is as yet no imaging or lab tests specific to diagnosing the disorder. The disease is often difficult to diagnose because as mentioned above, its symptoms mimic other movement disorders.

Initial diagnosis is based on medical history, a thorough physical exam and also a neurological exam. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) may show shrinkage at the top of the brain stem while other imaging tests can look at brain activity.

Treatment Options

There is no treatment for the disorder itself, so care is directed towards relieving its symptoms. Some patients may respond to the same drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease, such as levodopa. Some antidepressant medications, such as Prozac, Elavil, and Tofranil, seem to also help.

Besides medication, special glasses (such as bifocals or special glasses called prisms), walking devices, and other adaptive aids may help the person with PSP move around. Studies have shown that formal physical therapy sessions have no proven benefit in PSP, but certain exercises may help keep the joints limber. Surgically implanted electrodes and pulse generators used in Deep Brain Stimulation therapy and other surgical procedures used in Parkinson's disease treatment have also not been proven effective in PSP. If the person with PSP is unable to swallow, a feeding tube may be inserted into the stomach.

Complications From the Disease

Serious complications of PSP come from head injury and fractures due to falls, and pneumonia due to problems swallowing and coughing. Good medical care and proper nutrition can help someone with PSP live many years, even decades after diagnosis.

April 2011
It was time for some serious TRI training. Angimal had arranged for a group of athletes to train for the upcoming season. Though I had been on the TOPS Team for the year which had a variety of Swimmers at many different levels (I started in lane 1 and moved to lane 5) but this was going to be different because I'm not a great runner or cyclist. I was worried to be with these athletes. My schedule got crazier times 10.
Monday – 5:30-6:00 TRI Training
T & Thur – 3:00-3:30 Treadmill 3:30-4:30 Angimal 5:30-7:00 TOPS
Wednesday – Lead the Made to Crave Bible Study
Friday – 3:00-3:30 Treadmill 3:30-4:30 Angimal 5:30-6:30 TRI
Saturday – 9:00-10:00 TRI Training Swimming
OK good grief what a schedule but I was doing it. I was there and I was putting forth an effort that was exactly what I could handle. The best part of the training revealed once again how much of a swimmer I am. On the days that we were swimming I'd actually finish ahead of the pack. That was a nice feeling after having to modify some of the hill runs, BRICKS, and spinning sets.
As the month progressed even though i didn't believe i could actually participate in the TRI I had Angimal encouraging me and now the whole team seeing in me something I couldn't. I almost want to say that I was faking it until I made it but the aches and pains were not fake. The breathless sets were not fake. The painful seat on the spin bike was shirley not fake. So towards the end of the month I finally had to bite the bullet and buy my bike for the race. I'm doing it. The picture was becoming clearer and clearer until the night of Thursday, April 28th. I had a gallbladder attack, surgery and complications that sidelined me. It was the beginning of my medical rollercoaster.

I can also engage people on all kinds subjects, and in multiple languages: I'm fluent in French. I fell in love with French poetry and classical music when I was a teenager. Debussy was particularly
appealing (yes, I was a strange kid!). I even gave classical piano concerts in college.
Presently, I own an upright piano that sits in my dining room. Living in cramped Manhattan, this is out of necessity more than eccentricity. Besides classical, I like Cole Porter, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and Bill Evans. I go to concerts and attend events at the French Institute, as well as the Asia Society (for art outings).
I work in finance so these pursuits offset the stress, as do fencing, squash, golf, yoga and cooking. As a public service to anyone reading this: make lots of long incisions in a spaghetti squash before microwaving, unless you want an explosion worthy of a 24 episode.
Lastly, I love running. I've jogged through the verdant hills above Hong Kong; fertile farmland in Southern France; the lush valley leading to Machu Picchu; and the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal. My favorite runs though, are with my sheltie!
I'd like to meet a compassionate, intelligent woman who's close to her family and friends, and has a sense of devotion and whimsy (you'll need it!). If you'd like to know more (about me or some obscure subject!), then feel free to contact me.

Comments about Bose - SoundDock 277378-1100 Digital Music System for iPod and iPhone:
We bought this Bose Sound Dock to replace an outdated stereo system. We wanted something small and yet have great sound. We initially wanted to go with a bigger sound system for the home, but opted for this smaller, less expensive item. I mainly use this with my iPod, but I have used this with my iPhone too. It charges as it's docked on the system. (It doesn't charge as quickly as if you were to just plug it into the wall)
I've heard that Bose items can be overpriced and that you're paying for the name, but I'm not disappointed with this sound dock. You can't compare this to a home stereo system, obviously it's just a small unit.. but the quality of sound is amazing. It is so very easy to use and small and compact enough to move from room to room.
The remote can have more functions, in my opinion. But then again, if that were the case, the remote would be a lot bigger than it is now. Overall I'd recommend this to our friends.
Comments about Bose - SoundDock 277378-1100 Digital Music System for iPod and iPhone:
We've had our Bose ipod dock for over a year and a half and it is AWESOME! It plays beautifully and looks sleek. BIG sound for such a small machine! This was my first Bose purchase and they officially have a customer for LIFE!!! I will never buy another brand now! We have used this for every party we've hosted since we purchased it and its more than enough, and we host some pretty large parties at times! I just can't say enough about this thing!
Comments about Bose - SoundDock 277378-1100 Digital Music System for iPod and iPhone:
I received the Bose dock for my iPod as a gift and I love it! When doing chores around the house I can have my favorite music playing and not have to worry about the iPod's headphones falling out of my ears while I work, or missing the phone ringing. It has an outstanding sound, as Bose is noted for. Of course it also charges your iPod when you place it in the dock and you never misplace the iPod if it is in the dock! AND as an added bonus I just discovered the Bose dock can be hooked up to my laptop computer. The speakers on my laptop are not that loud or clear, so I use the Bose dock as an external speaker and the sound is terrific! (You have to remove the iPod from the dock for the music to come from your computer) I would highly recommend this product. It takes up very little space but has a very big sound!
Comments about Bose - SoundDock 277378-1100 Digital Music System for iPod and iPhone:
My husband bought the Bose Sound Dock Digital Music System for iPod and iPhone back in 2008 for me as a birthday gift. I knew he must have spent a lot of money on this speaker but after hearing my music on it for the first time, I knew it was worth the money. I always heard the Bose are great speakers but they cost too much so forth and so on but there is really a difference in the sound quality. I felt like I was listening to my music the way it was meant to be heard, crisp, clear, and loud. I take it outside a lot while having BBqs and that little thing is LOUD enough to keep the party going. A couple bad things about the Bose Sound Dock include that you can not tell how loud it is, I mean there is not a number or anything that says 1-10 volume so you do not know if you have it to its loudest. Also, it does not charge my iphone and I do not know if it is just my sound dock but my back wire sometimes slips off.
Comments about Bose - SoundDock 277378-1100 Digital Music System for iPod and iPhone:
A friend highly recommended a Bose sound system to me, and upon close examination I decided to purchase one as a Christmas gift for my husband. I have not been disappointed. I very seldom buy things at full price or am willing to pay a higher price for name brand. The Bose has been one of my best investments. The sound quality on the Bose is unmatched. The remote comes in handy while in other rooms of my house. One of the best things about my dock is that the volume goes quite high, and can be heard throughout the house. The high volume does not distort the music, but rather makes it sound almost as if each room has a speaker. The Bose sound system supports a wide range of mucis and plays each genre to its full capability. The bass of my Bose sounds like that of a much larger sound system. This was one time I have not regretted spending more money for a quality item. I would highly reccomend this product to anyone who loves music.

I have only gone out with one girl, an ex I was with for two years. I was desperate to keep her because I was awkward in high school and didn't know most of what I was doing gamewise. We ended it due to distance, but she always said how I was the best boyfriend she ever had.
Im still a virgin because she is wsiting until marriage and I respected that.Now my friends want me to talk to this girl who I have known forever and we are really close. She is a girlie girl and is very prude and innocent. I respect her a lot. I was taught to be a gentleman and pick the good mother type like her. I am insaenly attracted to girls who look rebellious. Bright dyed hair, cute face, fun loving. I don't know how to reconcile the two because I fins girlie girls boring. Do I sound like I should go for wife material or try to fate the girl I described?
Most Helpful Girl
I think you should go for what makes you happy. Imagine you dated this girlie girl for for the next year. 5 years. 10 years. Could you handle it that long? Would you be bored out of your skull? I know personally I could not date someone I found boring! It means that when it comes down to it we don't have enough in common. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them or me, it just wouldn't work out in the long run.
The whole point of dating (in my opinion at least) is to find people who are the most suitable for you on all levels, not who you've been taught to like or pick. If you do that, then you are letting others make the decision for you.
I think you could even find girls who are both girlie and rebellious as strange as that sounds. Not everyone is so cookie cutter that they fit into only one category. Never settle for less either. How can you ever get what you TRULY want if you settle?
Can you say you even feel ready to find the "right" girl with whom you'd like to marry? If the answer is no, then have fun and see what is out there. I am not advising to sleep around though! I feel that's never a good idea, but then again that's my opinion. You need to do what YOU feel is best. That's the whole point.
Best of luck! :)21|10|0
I'm not very experienced with girls, and I feel like I need to know what's out there before deciding who to marry. Not necessarily sleeping around but learning what makes me tick. Thanks :)

Plot Summary
Three Fates. Three Sisters.
Lily Bellum keeps many secrets, even from those she loves the most. With a determination and mindset that only she can help the demon Telal Demuzi—she sets off to join him in his cause for demon's rights, whether he wants it or not. But things don't seem to go right from the beginning. To say he's resistant to her charms is putting it lightly, but Lily is not one to back down or give in easily. She pursues Telal, slowly breaking down his incredible defenses one smile, kiss, and touch at a time.
Telal's years of planning are finally coming to fruition—to open the rift. Once a betrayer of his people, now he's determined to fix the past. But one man stands in his way; one man who's turned out to be a dark and sinister version of the boy he once knew. His plan to open the rift is met with hostility, resistance, and bloodshed unlike he'd ever thought possible. Telal finds that losing himself in the sweet body of Lily Bellum proves an excellent treatment to the chaos around him. Together, Telal and Lily get wrapped up in a world of dark magic, love, betrayal, and murder in the greatest journey of their lives.

It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement A/C Condenser to fix your car or truck. Your Mazda dealership isn't the only place to find the best parts to repair your Cosmo. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Mazda vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to maintain your car or truck. Car aficionados know that a sporty attitude is built into each Mazda, and understand that only top quality repair Cosmo parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
Ever since the 1950s, cars and trucks have been built with either standard or optional climate control systems. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the A/C condenser on your Mazda Cosmo changes the pressurized refrigerant from an extremely hot temperature to a more neutral temperature before it gets expanded into a gas. You will usually find your Mazda Cosmo A/C condenser mounted at the front of your vehicle near the radiator, because that is the best place for it to absorb the air stream as your car or truck moves down the road. If your A/C condenser has sprung a leak, then only mild or slightly cool air will blow into your interior because it is losing refrigerant.
Don't let a broken A/C Condenser bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Mazda Cosmo part for your project or repair. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. When it comes to Mazda Cosmo A/C Condenser parts, you can find them for 1978, 1977, 1976 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

In her best-selling debut, Commencement, J. Courtney Sullivan explored the complicated and contradictory landscape of female friendship. Now, in her highly anticipated second novel, Sullivan takes us into even richer territory, introducing four unforgettable women who have nothing in common but the fact that, like it or not, they're family.
For the Kellehers, Maine is a place where children run in packs, showers are taken outdoors, and old Irish songs are sung around a piano. Their beachfront property, won on a barroom bet after the war, sits on three acres of sand and pine nestled between stretches of rocky coast, with one tree bearing the initials "A.H." At the cottage, built by Kelleher hands, cocktail hour follows morning mass, nosy grandchildren snoop in drawers, and decades-old grudges simmer beneath the surface.
As three generations of Kelleher women descend on the property one summer, each brings her own hopes and fears. Maggie is thirty-two and pregnant, waiting for the perfect moment to tell her imperfect boyfriend the news; Ann Marie, a Kelleher by marriage, is channeling her domestic frustration into a dollhouse obsession and an ill-advised crush; Kathleen, the black sheep, never wanted to set foot in the cottage again; and Alice, the matriarch at the center of it all, would trade every floorboard for a chance to undo the events of one night, long ago.
By turns wickedly funny and achingly sad, Maine unveils the sibling rivalry, alcoholism, social climbing, and Catholic guilt at the center of one family, along with the abiding, often irrational love that keeps them coming back, every summer, to Maine and to each other.
©2011 J. Courtney Sullivan (P)2011 Random House Audio
"I have never stayed at this cottage in Maine, or any cottage in Maine, but no matter: I now feel I know what it's like being in a family that comes to the same place summer after summer, unpacking their familiar longings, slights, shorthand conversation, and ways of being together. J. Courtney Sullivan's Maine is evocative, funny, close-quartered, and highly appealing." (Meg Wolitzer, author of The Uncoupling)
"Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan is a powerful novel about the ties that bind families tight, no matter how dysfunctional. Sullivan has created in the Kelleher women a cast of flawed but lovable characters so real, with their shared history of guilt and heartache and secret resentments, that I'm sure I'll be thinking about them for a long time to come." (Amy Greene, author of Bloodroot)
"Everyone has dark secrets. It's why God invented confession and booze, two balms frequently employed in Sullivan's well-wrought sophomore effort. Alice Brennan is Irish American through and through, the daughter of a cop, a good Catholic girl so outwardly pure that she's a candidate for the papacy... As Sullivan's tale unfolds, there are plenty of reasons that Alice might wish to avoid taking too close a look at her life: There's tragedy and heartbreak around every corner, as there is in every life... Sullivan spins a leisurely yarn that looks into why people do the things they do - particularly when it comes to drinking and churchgoing - and why the best-laid plans are always the ones the devil monkeys with the most thoroughly. The story will be particularly meaningful to Catholic women, though there are no barriers to entry for those who are not of that faith. Mature, thoughtful, even meditative at times - but also quite entertaining." (Kirkus)
I have a busy career, travel a lot and don't have much time to read, so I listen to Audio books. I love reading!
I hope this author writes another nove soon.
The overall performance of the narrator was really good too.
The story is about a family, their rise and downfall, the family members as individuals and all their airs, graces and secrets. A good read!
Writer, retired now 11 years and living at the beach, writing, golfing, enjoying my "second act."
"The 5 Women I hope NEVER to Meet in Hell"
The story of a NE matriarch and her daughters, daughter in law and grand daughter… if ever there was a woman more spiteful and hateful and self-important, it is Alice. The author paints a totally unflattering picture of a family so dysfunctional and unappetizing, and ultimately so pointless, I kept wondering when it would get to any real plot. It never did. It is told serially by each character in a back in forth montage of perspective covering day to day to year to year family events, as seen through the women's mostly battered lenses. Like the old song, there aint no good guys, there aint no bad guys, there's just you and me and we just disagree. Not sure who is calling Alice at the end, but I have my suspicions!
How that translates into a novel, well, for me, it just didn't. It is our February book club selection, so it was homework.
"A good family story"
Yes, a good story about the different and complex perspectives of an average american family.
Yes, good story not to complicated. Good read.
No, from the deep character development in the book you understand how they are going to move on with their lives without the house in Maine or without Alice.
"Great beach read"
I will try one more.
I love well written sagas that cross generations. The characters were interesting, the story well developed and the plot was non formulaic.
Absolutely worth the listening time.
"What a disappointment!"
I feel misled by all the talk of it as a "beach read." That implies a fun book, light hearted, romantic maybe intriquing. But this book was about family problems that never get fixed. And there is a huge logic problem that is never addressed. Grandma's big sacrifice to make up for past sins isn't a sacrifice for her, just for the rest of her family.
Alice needs to be set straight.
Performance was great.
"Amazing book!!"
I really liked this book! It was very interesting to see the different points of view of every family member! It kept me intrigued and I wanted more!
"Very disappointing."
I just couldn't care about any of the characters. I felt sure I could connect with somebody, being Irish, having endured 12 yrs of Catholic school/guilt and having a family summer home. I found everybody disagreeable. I bought this on the $25% off sale. I'm glad I didn't waste a credit.
"All time favorite"
I wanted to listen to the book from beginning to end in one sitting - my favorite book of all time!
I listened to the entire book in a day. The author carefully doled out just enough information in each chapter about the key character in that chapter so that I understood what was happening, but at the same time it was clear that there were secrets yet to be revealed. I could not turn off my iPod until I reached the end. The book was particularly enjoyable when all four key characters were together in Maine.
I found all four main characters well developed and interesting, albeit quirky. None was terribly likable, yet none was entirely dislikable either. I felt like I was reading about family members I have met in friends' families, but, thankfully, not about my own family members.
This is the first performance by Ann Marie Lee I have heard. I did not read any of the other reviews before I listend to the book and was surprised by the number of negative reviews. I never noticed that the narration was particularly slow. In fact I found the pace enjoyable. Some performances are read so quickly, I find myself rewinding to catch what I missed. I was also not troubled by the Boston accent. While the accent may not have been perfect, as a former New Englander, I felt quite at home. I would not hesitate to buy another book narrated by Ms. Lee.
Ms. Sullivan's first novel Commencement has been on my wishlist for some time. After reading Maine, Commencement is moving to the top of the list for my next purchase.
I won't blame the reader, I'm sure she did her best, but this book was hopeless.
I just purchased The Heart and the Fist
I would cut the whole book
There is no plot, no tension, the characters are one dimensional. I bought it principally because I love Maine, but there wasn't even any local description that I could have enjoyed. Just a boring story about a family - slightly dysfunctional but not enough to hold my interest.

Contact: Senate President Ted Gatsas
(603) 271 – 2111
May 19, 2006
Concord , NH – Today an emergency meeting of the Fiscal Committee of the New Hampshire General Court convened to deliberate allocation of money to the Southern and Central parts of New Hampshire,which was devastated by the recent floods.
The New Hampshire Legislature authorized up to $5,000,000 in aid to help the municipalities deal with the destruction. The funds will be distributed through the Bureau of Emergency Management to the areas in need.
Senate President Ted Gatsas (R- Manchester) remarked, "Our state has seen unprecedented flooding over the last week and the damage is inconceivable. There are areas in my district that are still under water and the state is still not able to fully assess the situation. The $5,000,000 is a first step to help return the effected communities to normalcy and offset some of the exorbitant costs they are experiencing."
Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Morse (R- Salem) commented, "New Hampshire is currently seeking federal funds to help the Southern tier communities paralyzed by the floods. Until that money becomes available, New Hampshire is stepping in with the necessary funds expeditiously. These New Hampshire funds will be replaced by federal dollars when they become available."
Senator Majority Leader Bob Clegg (R- Hudson) concluded, "A weeks worth of rain has done a considerable amount of damage to New Hampshire. At one point over 600 roads throughout New Hampshire were closed due to flooding, which many now need extensive work before they can be reopened. Bridge, culverts, and dams were washed away and now need to be replaced as quickly as possible. Help is needed throughout New Hampshire now, and this allocation is a step forward."

jon3de posted a topic in Lighting & RenderingHi, I discovered a strange problem. I don´t know if its a bug or if I´m missing something. I have a scene with two spheres. Each of those spheres have exactly the same mantra surface material. The only thing i changed on one of the mantra surfaces is that i added a bind Node to import an vector attribute for some multi matte render elements. If I render locally to disk everything is working as it should. If I create an ifd file and render the ifd file. The sphere with the bind node in the mantra shader is rendering with different shading! I created some material with the material shader builder with bind node. That works as it should. Only if i manipulate the mantra surface it does´t work anymore. any ideas? kind regards Jon ifd_testfile.hip

Iconic 'Animal House' best left in the relics bin
The late comedic actor John Belushi is perhaps best known for his role in "Animal House," an iconic film from 1978 that spearheaded the genre of movies about college students going wild.
The film and Belushi's character Bluto struck a chord with viewers all those years ago and he became ingrained in the cultural psyche of America. So much so that a photo of Belushi was used on salon.com on February 22 to attract readers to an article on the cost of college education in the United States.
Belushi's Bluto is the party-hardy spiritual head of Delta Tau Chi in "Animal House."
"Seven years of college down the drain," Belushi morns, riding the line perfectly between sincerity and mock seriousness. Later: "When the going gets tough," he hollers, "the tough get going!"
It's when executing the manic, exuberant second quote that Belushi, and the movie, is at its best.
Unfortunately, despite Belushi and a handful of very quotable lines, the movie is not able to sustain the momentum. This is due to a few reasons.
The most noticeable is rather than the usual cast of kooky characters known to consort with Belushi — Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, etc — the people that surround him in "Animal House" are for the most part flat.
Even by appearance rather than reputation, the movie looks like its starring kids with the exception of ringers Belushi and the always compelling Donald Sutherland as a liberal professor.
The harder to pinpoint problem is the sort of petty cruelty that runs through the entire film. I don't need the protagonists in Delta Tau Chi to be "good" in the heroic sense, but I don't find them to even be attractive or compelling in any way.
Part of this goes to a core part of my personal university experience. Namely: social fraternities, as a whole, are pretty loathsome from idea to execution. At best, the frat boys in "Animal House" all seem entitled, mean and hedonistic. At worst, they're typically and boorishly evil.
And with a mostly subpar cast and pacing that falters, "Animal House" is an interesting cultural relic, but it doesn't hold up today.
'Animal House' (1978)
• Where to see it: The Pearl, 471 Zhapu Rd
• When to see it: March 5, 8:45pm (It's part of a triple feature at The Pearl, sandwiched between "1941" and "Caddyshack.")
• Price: Free
• What to see: "Animal House" is one of the most iconic comedy films of all time, a symbol of college-aged hijinks and debauchery. It follows the rivalry of the snotty dean (played by John Vernon) and his Omega Theta Pi Fraternity stooges as they try to kick the slovenly Delta Tau Chi Fraternity off campus.
• Brian's score: 05/10

Do you like sweet smells? Flowery smells? Strong smell?
Most Helpful Guy
Not too many guys want to smell their sweetie 5 minutes before she arrives. Young people tend to overdo perfumes and colognes and one of the signs of maturing is when someone starts using scents in moderation. When you overdo a scent, someone will probably be making a smart crack about you smelling like a French prostitute.
I don't know what younger guys like, but I think you can't go wrong with something classic and subtle like Chanel No. 5.10|10|0
The one I usually go with is pretty classy. And I rarely wear perfume.
Nice! It should be just heavy enough so that someone standing close can faintly smell it. . . but you probably already know that.
Lol yep I do.
Most Helpful Girl
I'd say sweet, then again both of the last two perfumes I wore regularly were sweet so that may be a bit biased. :P I used to wear Fantasy by Britney Spears, got tons of compliments on it, including from my ex. Now I wear Our Moment by One Direction (no shame. x_x ) and my boyfriend loves it as well, always telling me I smell amazing. :)11|00|0
I usually wear Victoria secret So very seductive. But I was thinking of going with Hello cutie by hello kitty both are sweet smells. Except hello kitty is much stronger as a sweet smell.
oh yeah I like that VS one too. If the perfume you want to switch over to wearing is a bit strong, you can try just spraying it in your hair versus on your neck or something. I find perfume is a bit more toned down when you spray it there, not quite as strong. & of course just one spritz!
Yesss I wanted to switch it up because my "boyfriend" is coming home from college, well he is home but I'll see him at church on Sunday because he promised anyways just wanted to smell really nice.
