http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/nba...?urn=nba,64142Shocking dialogue: Jason Kidd meets with Rod Thorn
By Kelly Dwyer
Tuesday, Jan 29, 2008 12:15 pm EST
Jason Kidd wants out of New Jersey, and Nets personnel boss Rod Thorn is more than willing to aid in any transaction that eases Kidd out of a Net uniform. The other day, Kidd's agent Jeff Schwartz told Thorn of Kidd's demand to be traded, and yesterday Kidd followed up on the demand in a meeting with Thorn.
You might not believe it, but we have the transcript in hand
Jason Kidd: Jeff told you, huh?
Rod Thorn: Yes sir.
Kidd: Preferably, I'd like to go to the Lakers, Yankees, Mavericks, Heat, or Celtics.
Thorn: Yankees?
Kidd: Or Red Sox.
Thorn: The baseball-Boston Red Sox?
Kidd: I don't want Jason Collins to be traded with me. Dude steals my triple-doubles.
Thorn: What does that mean?
Kidd: A triple-double is when you get double-figures in points, rebounds, and assists.
Thorn: I know that, I meant ...
Kidd: No teams with blue uniforms.
Thorn: Have you seen what Dallas wears?
Kidd: On the flight out, I want an aisle seat. Something light for a in-flight entertainment. "Daddy Day Care" or that Rock movie with the girl and the ball with the sparkles.
Thorn: Jason, I'm going to have to stop you there.
Kidd: Nothing can stop me on my way to a championship. That's what I was put on Earth to do.
Thorn: Jason, you're not being interviewed, stop it. You do realize how hard it is to trade someone who makes as much money as you, right? You're making 19.7 million dollars this season.
Kidd: Yeah. I'm awesome.
Thorn: Be that as it may, we have to match that salary in any trade we make.
Kidd: Kwame makes that much.
Thorn: Kwame doesn't make that much. Very few people do.
Kidd: You make that much.
Thorn: No, I don't.
Kidd: Know why?
Thorn: Why, Jason?
Kidd: NO TRIP-LE DOUB-LESSS!
Thorn: Great. Either way, there's not a lot we can do under NBA salary cap law that could ease you into a new team.
Kidd: I break laws all the time. I don't even have draft picks to do it with.
Thorn: What?
Kidd: I mean, it's easier for you to break a law, because you can just send someone a draft pick to make up for it.
Thorn: No, I mean, you break laws all the time?
Kidd: Did you see where I parked today? Look. (Points to a window, Thorn peers outside.)
Thorn: Right on the sidewalk. Ran over some kid's bike, too.
(Kidd beams.)
Thorn: Brav-o.
Kidd: Not even my car. It's Josh Boone's car. I took it, I'm keeping it. Josh Boone gets NO TRIP-LE DOUB-LES!
Thorn: You know, Malik Allen called me about this same sort of thing last month, and I just thought he was joking, or drunk, or both.
Kidd: Patriots!
Thorn: You like the Patriots on Sunday?
Kidd: You can trade me to the Patriots, broseph.
Thorn: No. No, I can't.
Kidd: Salary cap law? I told you: draft picks!
Thorn: Yeah, it doesn't work that way. Not without hurting my team. Not without taking back contracts of players that I don't want. Not without having to trade for Lamar Odom ...
Kidd: NO TRIP-LE DOUB-LES!
Thorn: Or Jason Terry ...
Kidd: NO TRIP-LE DOUB-LES!
Thorn: Or Nene Hilario ...
Kidd: NO TRIP-LE ... oh. My thoughts and prayers are with him, and his family. He just wants to win a championship, like me. That's all we're in it for.
Thorn: Jason, again, no reporters are here.
Kidd: What if you traded half of me to a team, like with Vince Carter, and I could play half the time with the Lakers for half-price, and part of the time with the Nets?
Thorn: I don't know where to start. "Like with Vince Carter?"
Kidd: You know how he plays with the Raptors on the off days?
Thorn: He doesn't play with the Raptors. He's been a Net since December of 2004!
Kidd: He seems awfully tired. I just assumed.
Thorn: I honestly can't fault you, there.
Kidd: What if I go to David Stern, and say, like, "hey, David Stern. I'll give you, like, 14 triple-doubles if you let me go to the Lakers?"
Thorn: How do you give someone a triple-double?
Kidd: Just gave the Nuggets one.
Thorn: Oh, I get it.
Kidd: Gave the Bobcats two, gave the Magic one, the Hawks one, gave triple-doubles to the whole damn Eastern seaboard.
Thorn: And what would David Stern do with his 14 triple-doubles?
Kidd: Whatever the hell he wants! Steal some [stuff] from the Cheesecake Factory, cold-**** a red-headed dude just for the hell of it, burn [stuff] ... it's a triple-double!
Thorn: I really wish I'd, you know, engaged in an actual conversation with you before signing that contract extension.
Kidd: '85 Bears!
Thorn: You want me to trade you to a football team from 23 years ago.
Kidd: The Triple-Double Shuffle! (Rapping) "My name is J-Kidd, and I like to pass. Rippin' triple-doubles is better than ro-mance ..."
Thorn: You know who could really use some triple-doubles? The Hawks.
Kidd: I'm just here to win a championship. It's my life's ambition, and a dream I've had since I was a child. I'll do it anything for it.
Thorn: Did you just set my desk on fire?
This is the darkest timeline.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/nba...?urn=nba,63896Shocking dialogue: Chris Webber and Don Nelson, together again
By Kelly Dwyer
Monday, Jan 28, 2008 1:03 pm EST
Reports out of the Bay Area have the Golden State Warriors near a deal to sign ex-Warrior Chris Webber to a free agent deal. This would reunite Webber with his one-time nemesis, then and current Warriors coach, Don Nelson.
The duo met last week at Webber's Sacramento-area restaurant, and we have to apologize to whoever created this back-and-forth. Thanks to a mole who was hired by Yahoo! to camp out in a dumbwaiter, we're able to bring you the chilling conversation that sealed the deal
Don Nelson: Hey Chris.
Chris Webber: Coach.
Nellie: Nice place.
C-Webb: Yeah, it's turned out pretty well. Did you get a drink?
Nellie: Yeah.
C-Webb: We have, y'know, the Johnny Walker Blue here.
Nellie: No, it's cool. I've a ride back. Plenty of little bottles in the back of the limo.
C-Webb: Cool.
Nellie: Yeah.
C-Webb: So Mullin wants me?
Nellie: Guess so.
C-Webb: You cool with that?
Nellie: Whatever.
C-Webb: Because the Pistons ...
Nellie: Just stop.
C-Webb: Yeah.
(12 second pause.)
C-Webb: They don't want me.
Nellie: I know.
C-Webb: What'd you guys get for me, originally?
Nellie: Tom Gugliotta.
C-Webb: Good player.
Nellie: Good player.
C-Webb: And you turned him into ... ?
Nellie: They turned him into Donyell Marshall.
C-Webb: You weren't around then. And the Warriors got ...
Nellie: Danny Fortson and Adam Keefe. Four-way deal. I wasn't around for that.
C-Webb: No, no. It's cool. Just curious. You were with the Knicks, by then, right?
Nellie: No. I was with the Knicks during the Googs-for-Marshall deal.
C-Webb: Right, right. The Knicks. Anthony Mason as point forward, right?
Nellie: Yeah.
C-Webb: Convince Patrick to play off the ball?
Nellie: Yeah.
C-Webb: Yeah.
Nellie: Can you still dunk?
C-Webb: Yes.
Nellie: Cool. Just asking.
C-Webb: After the Knicks ... that was Dallas, right?
Nellie: Yeah.
C-Webb: Traded Sam Cassell, Jim Jackson, a bunch of guys for Shawn Bradley.
Nellie: It was an 11-player deal. There's a lot more to it than ...
C-Webb: But he was the main cog, right?
Nellie: Yeah.
C-Webb: But, you got rid of Chris Gatling. All-Star that same month. Traded him at his peak for Bradley, right? Good deal.
Nellie: Are you still with Tyra, or ...
C-Webb: No, but we're cool.
Nellie: Is she on your cell phone? Could we call her? Could we talk to her, say, right now ... or do you have to call into her office?
C-Webb: No, but we're cool.
Nellie: That's good. That's good.
C-Webb: Yeah.
Nellie: I do have to say, it was a shame the way the refs let Samaki Walker guard you in the 2002 playoffs. I mean, there's no way Samaki Walker could stop Chris Webber from getting 30 and 15. No way he could stop you from getting to the Finals.
C-Webb: Yeah, well, that thing wasn't fair. Ralph Nader, in fact, put together a protest on our behalf.
Nellie: I hear he had to do that for Bob Pettit, after the 1958 Finals.
C-Webb: Really?
Nellie: No.
C-Webb: Yeah. Kind of set myself up for that one.
Nellie: Yeah.
C-Webb: Let the son pass on re-signing Steve Nash in order to grab Erick Dampier?
Nellie: Are you still in touch with any of your 76ers teammates? You did play for them, right? I want to see what Calvin Booth is up to.
C-Webb: Why didn't you keep that mustache? That looked good.
Nellie: Did you shoot a free throw last year, or was that ...
C-Webb: Do you ask Baron Davis to stop shooting threes, or does he just hit you a lot?
Nellie: Has Michigan paid off its student-athlete loan, yet?
C-Webb: Did the NBA outlaw fish ties, or did they just manage to stop the Dewar's truck from hitting Milwaukee, first?
Nellie: Are you not allowed to show your championship rings at the restaurant, or ...
C-Webb: Are you only allowed to see yours once Dave Cowens has his yearly "Salsabration?"
Nellie: "Salsabration?"
C-Webb: It's a celebration, with lots of Mexican food and chips and salsa and the championship rings you earned off of his hard work.
Nellie: First of all, it's called "Cinco de Mustache," and that's where we don't shave for a month and show up on the fifth of July with our best mustaches, and secondly ... I don't know why I'm telling you this.
C-Webb: Because you want to sign me.
Nellie: I'm bored.
C-Webb: I know you are. It's cool.
Nellie: Seriously?
C-Webb: Yeah.
Nellie: Sorry about trading for Billy Owens.
C-Webb: He had skills.
Nellie: So did you.
C-Webb: What?
Nellie: Nothing.
C-Webb: I don't want to play defense, rebound, or play in the low post.
Nellie: I don't like defense, rebounding, or you.
C-Webb: What?
Nellie: You ... playing in the low post. If you're going to come back, you'll have to stop interrupting me.
C-Webb: Can I wear number 75? My cousin saw it in a dream about a license plate that was on the back of a swordfish.
Nellie: Does Austin Croshere wear a piece?
C-Webb: Deal. (To a waitress, who isn't listening) A Johnny Walker Blue neat, and a new round of mini southwestern wraps for my new coach!
Nellie: Do you want to work past May?
C-Webb: No.
Nellie: Cool.
This is the darkest timeline.

Shaquille O'Neal: Yo, Zo?
Alonzo Mourning: Yes, Shaq?
Shaq: Who's this guy sittin' next to me?
Zo: He can hear you, man, be quiet. That's Joel Anthony.
Shaq: Joel Anthony?
Joel Anthony: Yeah?
Shaq: Nothin'. Hey, Zo?
Zo: Yeah, Shaq?
Shaq: What happened to Mark Blount?
Zo: He's out there, playing. He had 15 points in the first half. You pointed him out to me, "the tall dude talkin' to Craig Sager ...," remember?
Shaq: No.
Zo: Yeah, well, he's out there.
Shaq: Hey, Zo?
Zo: Yes, Shaq?
Shaq: I don't like Mark Blount.
Zo: Don't say that, man.
Shaq: I was getting a little upset because I thought Joel Anthony ...
Joel Anthony: Yes?
Shaq: Nothin'. (Whispers) Because I thought I was sitting next to Mark Blount, I mean Mark Blount, and I don't like Mark Blount. You think his last name is "Blount" like "oww," but it's "blunt" like the things Jermaine O'Neal got caught with.
Zo: Jermaine O'Neal?
Shaq: Yeah. Dude smokes weed.
Zo: You mean David Harrison?
Shaq: Got caught with some Mark Blounts?
Zo: Yeah. Plays for the Pacers.
Shaq: He doesn't play. He got suspended. For weed.
Zo: You know what I mean.
Shaq: Yeah, but do you know what I mean?
Zo: Whatever, man.
Shaq: EXACTLY.
(Eight seconds pass.)
Shaq: Hey Zo?
Zo: Yes, Shaq.
Shaq: Remember that song I did with Fu-Schnickens? About how I was the first pick in the draft?
Zo: Yes, Shaq.
Shaq: I wasn't being bragadocious.
Zo: I know, Shaq. It's cool.
Shaq: Really?
Zo: Really.
Shaq: Because I WAS the first pick. Not you, not Christian Laettner.
Zo: I know, Shaq. I'm cool with it.
Shaq: For real?
Zo: I didn't like how you rhymed my last name with "word is born, and."
Shaq: What?
Zo: Nothing, Shaq. It was a good song.
Shaq: I thought so. Better than Kobe's.
Zo: Yes, Shaq. It was better than Kobe's.
Shaq: I mean, he didn't put out an album.
Zo: Yes, Shaq.
Shaq: I had a whole bunch of albums. Even a greatest hits album.
Zo: Even a greatest hits album. Much better than Kobe.
Shaq: You seriously think so?
Zo: Yes, Shaq.
Shaq: Yeah. Hey Mark?
Joel Anthony: It's "Joel," man. It's been four months.
Shaq: That's cool. You ever seen the deleted scenes from the "Steel" DVD?
Joel Anthony: No, man. You asked me this before. I can't come over
Shaq: That's cool, bro. I was in "Good Burger," too.
Joel Anthony: We know, Shaq. Kobe wasn't.
Shaq: Totally.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/nba...?urn=nba,63269Shocking dialogue: Zaza Pachulia suspended
By Kelly Dwyer
Wednesday, Jan 23, 2008 2:53 pm EST
Hawks center Zaza Pachulia has been suspended by Atlanta coach Mike Woodson. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says it's because of an incident that happened in the middle of Atlanta 's loss to the Trail Blazers on Monday, but we know better. The real skirmish went down in practice the next day.
Obviously, we're well connected, and we've been able to supply the dialogue between coach and the Georgian-born center:
Hawks coach Mike Woodson: Zaza, can I have a word?
Hawks center Zaza Pachulia: You can have many words, coach. I always tell you that.
Woodson: Yeah. Um, we need to talk about your shooting habits. You're shooting a bit too much for my taste.
Zaza: How do you want to taste?
Woodson: It's not if ... hmm. Wasn't expecting that response. Anyway, Zaza, we'd like you to focus on shooting less ...
Zaza: I shoot ball. Watch, I show you!
Woodson: No need for that, Zaza. It's just that your arms are a little short for your body.
Zaza: My arms have grown in the years. Orlando were short. They call me, howdoyousay ... baby helicopter. But I no play baby helicopter anymore. ZAZA NO PLAY BABY HELICOPTER ANY MORE! I learn lesson, glare at camera on Media Day.
Woodson: I remember that, Zaza. You frightened Janet. Hell, you frightened the whole camera crew.
Zaza: I ask them to take picture of me lifting weights. They take picture. THEY NO TELL ME I HAD NO "PACHULIA" ON THE BACK OF MY JERSEY.
Woodson: It's OK, Zaza. We know you work out.
Zaza: But how is everyone else to know?
Woodson: We'll tell them.
Zaza: You tell them I have musky, Victor Mature-like presence?
Woodson: If you shoot less, but rebound and defend more.
Zaza: You want two things?
Woodson: Right. Rebounding, and playing defense.
Zaza: How about shooting, and jump-hooking. Two things!
Woodson: Not really, Zaza. And really those are only one thing.
Zaza: Those are only one thing?
Woodson: Correct.
Zaza: Why you say "those," then? Plural, no?
Woodson: No.
Zaza: No?
Woodson: Well, yes, but ... let's talk about just the rebounding right now.
Zaza: I no rebound. I shoot and jump-hook, yes?
Woodson: Yes, but ... say you were to rebound ...
Zaza: "You were to rebound." Was you to be repeating, like Funky Cold Medina rhyme?
Woodson: OK, let's put it this way: you no box out.
Zaza: I no box out?
Woodson: Correct.
Zaza: YOU NO BOX OUT!
Woodson: That doesn't make any ...
Zaza: YOU NO BOX OUT!
(Woodsen slides in front of Zaza, pushes him back with his rear end, and seals him off with his arms.)
Zaza: You box out!
Woodson: I box out.
Zaza: This makes me sad. I lie down.
Woodson: You can't lie down in practice.
Zaza: Old coach box Zaza out. Sadness takes form of lethargy.
Woodson: What?
Zaza: I'm lying down.
Woodson: Get up in three seconds, or you're suspended.
Zaza: Want to play Elliott Smith song ...
Woodson: Three ...
Zaza: Today's mood for Zaza? Boxed-out.
Woodson: Two ...
Zaza: I'm somewhere else. In front of a fountain. Close to Epcot.
Woodson: One. You're suspended.
This is the darkest timeline.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/nba...?urn=nba,62264Shocking dialogue: Jamaal Tinsley suspended
By Kelly Dwyer
Thursday, Jan 17, 2008 10:55 am EST
From the Indianapolis Star:
"The Indiana Pacers suspended Jamaal Tinsley for Wednesday night's game against Golden State following an incident during a film session one day earlier, The Star has learned.
What exactly happened during the session is unknown."
Not true.
Pacers coach Jim O'Brien: "Here's where I want you to shoot a three-pointer, squaddle deedle-dee, shoot another three-pointer here, blippity bloop ..."
Tinsley: "Why'd you have to sit like that?"
Obie: "Like what?"
JT: "Like that?"
Obie: "I'm standing. Like where?"
JT: "In the coaches photo. You sit, three guys stand to your right, two to your left. It's unseemly. It's off-kilter. Geometrically uncouth. An affront to my sensibilities!"
Obie: "I don't understand what that has to ..."
JT: "I come into work almost every day, see that picture hanging in the hallway, and I have to touch 14 doorknobs and David Harrison's neckbeard just to get back to normal."
Obie: "Like you can talk, remember that Pistons game where you let Jeff Foster touch your head in the first quarter?"
JT: "Yeah."
Obie: "Creepy guy went off for nine first half rebounds."
JT: "Yeah."
Obie: "Comes off the bench in the third quarter, wants to touch the head again, and what do you do?"
JT: "Is this about the towel?"
Obie: "Yeah, it's about the towel.'"
JT: "I don't understand what the problem is. It was an affront to my sensibilities. It had to stop. Like the dye-job."
Obie: "What dye-job?"
JT: "You've been a head coach for seven years now. All this time you've had sideburns the color of cooked halibut, some white directly above it, and then jet-black hair."
Obie: "First off, quit comparing colors to "cooked halibut." Dunleavy Jr. cried for weeks the first time you tried that. Secondly, yeah, I'm getting older. It's what happens."
JT: "No, no it's not 'what happens.' If it's 'what happens,' then it would be blended. You don't go from stark white to dark black in half a centimeter. How do you think I feel when Stephen Jackson texts me to tell me that my coach and Bonnie Raitt share a barber? It's an affront to my sensibilities!"
Obie: "Say that one more time, and you're suspended."
JT: "A suspension without pay?"
Obie: "Yes."
JT: "But that would be an affront to my sensibilities!"
And ... scene.
Somebody better get traded soon. I'm all out.
This is the darkest timeline.
lol, those are funny.
These are all great. My favorite is Jason Kidd.
I said that last night at the game. Aisles are sticky, ushers are rude.Zaza: This makes me sad. I lie down.

After many years of watching JT play, I doubt he has much geometry sense.
Dude thinks the ball will go in the basket without every clearing the height of the rim.
Zaza sounds a lot like StankoLover316.

School districts withdraw 'careless,' 'negligent' defenses
The Moraga School District and Lafayette School District have changed legal documents following a backlash over the districts' choices of defense against two lawsuits claiming students suffered sexual abuse at the hands of teachers.
Moraga and Lafayette School District trustees voted Wednesday to withdraw legal language from papers filed in response to a lawsuit brought by Walnut Creek resident Kristen Cunnane. Cunnane is suing the district and three former administrators for negligence and other claims and says her abuse by two Moraga school teachers in the 1990s was the result of administrators ignoring allegations of abuse.
The papers contained a number of defenses including one that said Cunnane "was herself careless and negligent," and that could have contributed to her abuse.
Cunnane also received a formal apology from the Moraga district about the language used in the lawsuit response.
Lafayette school trustees also met Wednesday and voted unanimously to withdraw a similar line of defense in a response to a lawsuit filed by a Jane Doe. The woman is claiming district officials knew former teacher Michael Merrick had abused students but did nothing in response, leading to her own sexual abuse.

Ship Weight:0.50 Servings:7 Dosage:2 Cookie(s) Flavor:Pecan Aunt Gussie's Naturally Delicious Spelt Sugar-Free Pecan Meltaways (198 g) Aunt Gussie's Naturally Delicious Spelt Sugar-Free Pecan Meltaways are delicious all butter sugar free cookies (maltitol sweetened), made with organic spelt flour, toasty pecans and cashews, with a delicate texture that melts in your mouth. Aunt Gussie's Naturally Delicious Spelt Sugar-Free Pecan Meltaways are all natural and contain no preservatives and zero grams trans fat per serving. Aunt Gussie's Naturally Delicious Spelt Sugar-Free Pecan Meltaways are great tasting cookies made from only pure, natural ingredients. Treat yourself to the magic with Aunt Gussie's Naturally Delicious Spelt Sugar-Free Pecan Meltaways! Spelt CookiesAunt Gussie's offers nutritious Spelt cookies and biscotti as an alternative to cookies made with common wheat. Spelt is an ancient grain that has a rich, nutty flavor. It is a superb source of fiber with high water solubility, allowing its nutrients to be more easily absorbed than common wheat. Choose between our Spelt cookies sweetened with evaporated cane juice crystals or our Sugar Free Spelt varieties for those who can't have sugar such as diabetics or those on no sugar diets. Now you can indulge in delicious tasting cookies, with the wholesome benefits of Spelt.What is Maltitol?Maltitol is a member of a family of bulk sweeteners known as polyols or sugar alcohols. It has a pleasant sweet taste--remarkably similar to sucrose. Maltitol is about 90% as sweet as sugar, non-cariogenic, and significantly reduced in calories. There are many advantages in using maltitol over regular sugar and the safety of maltitol has been proven and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, UN World Health Organization, and EU's Scientific Committee for Food.What is Spelt Flour?Popular in Europe for centuries, Spelt is used in a wide variety of cereals, pastas, crackers, baked goods, and beers. The ancient Romans knew it as "farrum", Italians now call it "farro"; today's Germans know it as "dinkle." Spelt's uniqueness is derived from its genetic makeup and nutrition profile. Spelt has high water solubility, so the nutrients are easily absorbed by the body. Spelt contains special carbohydrates (Mucopolysaccharides) which are an important factor in blood clotting and stimulating the body's immune system. It is also a superb fiber resource and has large amounts of B complex vitamins. Total protein content is about 10% greater than the common varieties of commercial wheat.What is meant by No Sugar Added?The term No Sugar Added describes some of our cookies and crackers (such as raisin almond biscotti, orange biscottini, and cinnamon raisin crackers) that contain natural sugars from the natural ingredients (such as raisins, oranges, and unsweetened apple juice). Aunt Gussie's does not add any sugar to these products, thus the name No Sugar Added. Appropriately, Aunt Gussie's does not make the Sugar-Free claim because of the natural sugars that are included in the nutrition facts of all the items. What is Organic Palm Shortening?Organic Palm Shortening is a non-GMO expeller pressed canola oil used in various Aunt Gussie's cookies that is non-hydrogenated and made from organic palm oil.What makes Aunt Gussie's Biscotti more unique from traditional biscotti?Traditionally most biscotti are quite hard and difficult to eat, and many of them include butter. However, none of these characteristics accurately describe Aunt Gussie's Biscotti. Aunt Gussie's biscotti is crunchy without being as hard as typical biscotti because:" ": your taste from a long list of delicious flavors. About Aunt Gussie'sTravel in time from Aunt Gussie's humble beginnings as a start-up company in a home kitchen to the present, a large state-of-the-art facility. To celebrate Aunt Gussie's 20th year in business, they have impressively revamped their logo and packaging. Aunt Gussie's offers the best tasting cookies, biscotti and cracker flats using organic wheat & spelt flours. A healthful variety of both sugar-free, low fat and fat free products are available along with their original, classic cookies. Aunt Gussie's also has low carb varieties. Do the math yourself (Carbs – Fiber – Maltitol = Net Carbs). So whether you're looking for treats with or without sugar, wheat or spelt products, Aunt Gussie's can fill that need without sacrificing taste!

Yes it's a nice e-reader, but it could be so much more but it's limited. I was misinformed by the college BN bookstore clerk that I could use it for text books next year only to find out that isn't true. That was the main reason why I bought it. I've had the Color, and the Tablet and have felt the same about those too. Kind of upset me too that all the apps I had bought for my Tablet over half won't work on the HD+. So basically it's been an expensive Angry Birds Star Wars game. LOL
4. Re: Selling my Nook HD+daenas Apr 28, 2013 12:26 PM (in response to 5ivedom)Yeah, I kind of went overboard when I got the HD+..lol No need to keep everything that goes with it if I sell it.. I'm going to save to get the Galaxy Note 10.

As the Nook person at my store I can tell you that messing with the software does technically void the warranty. I can also tell you that unless the MOD you talk to is a total stickler for the rules, nobody really cares. They'd still help you. Whenver somebody comes in with a messed up Nook due to a rooting, I simply do a hard reset without the SD card inserted and bam, problem fixed.

Adding the sd card does not change the os in any way.
7. Re: Selling my Nook HD+bfollowell May 2, 2013 11:59 AM (in response to daenas)
For those that have tried the N2A cards with the HD+, have any of you found another ereader app that recognizes embedded fonts? Does Nook for Android recognize embedded fonts?

Hey Daenas! I'm glad your friend convinced you to hang on to your HD+ for a while. Perhaps the update out today will make it more like you want it to be. The annoucement I read indicates that previously purchased googleplay apps will be accessible on the HD devices. It sounds good to me. I'm considering getting one even though my nook tablet is wonderful.

9. Re: Selling my Nook HD+lookingforward May 3, 2013 7:20 AM (in response to LadyTessie)I loved my Nook Color so much I bought one for my husband, but I still got the HD+ for myself when it came out. They had them on sale for $175 over the weekend and I almost bought a second one! I really like mine :-)
10. Re: Selling my Nook HD+daenas May 3, 2013 7:30 AM (in response to LadyTessie)Just read it on Yahoo news! Big stuff and sounds like I will be happy that I kept it too!

View: Adam Robinson criminal complaint
Felony charges were filed Friday against a British man accused of flying to the Inland Empire allegedly to have sexual relations with a now 14-year-old Highland girl in Redlands, authorities said.
Adam James Michael Robinson, 21, alllegedly had several sexual encounters with the girl, including two on Dec. 23, the day before her 14th birthday, according to a felony complaint filed by the District Attorney's Office.
Redlands police arrested Robinson on Thursday at the Good Nite Inn at 1675 Industrial Park Ave., where he was allegedly planning to have a sexual encounter with the girl he had met in an online chat room.
Robinson was arrested on suspicion of lewd acts with a minor under the age of 14.
Robinson met the girl online and established a relationship with the her over the course of a year, authorities said.
He flew to the Inland Empire on Dec. 15, the day of their first of many alleged sexual encounters, according to Redlands police.
According to the district attorney's complaint, Robinson had at least six sexual encounters with the girl over two days – four times on Dec. 15 and twice on Dec. 23.
The girl's parents learned about the relationship and brought her to the sheriff's Highland station, where they filed a report. It was unclear how the girl's parents learned about the relationship.
Sheriff's detectives contacted Redlands police detectives when they learned Robinson was staying at the Redlands motel, the site of the alleged sexual encounters.
"Evidence was recovered from the motel room and vehicle linking Robinson to the victim," said Redlands police Detective Andy Capps.
Special agents from the Department of Homeland Security assisted with the investigation and are looking into possible child sexual tourism charges against Robinson, authorities said.
Child sex tourism is defined as the commercial sexual exploitation of children by men or women who travel from one place to another and engage in sexual acts with children.
Robinson was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga. Bail was set at $1 million. the Immigration and Naturalization Service placed a hold on him.
Robinson has been convicted of a serious or violent crime and also for a white-collar crime, according to the complaint, but authorities did not say where the convictions took place.
Robinson is scheduled to appear Monday in San Bernardino Superior Court.
Anyone with information about this case and the suspect asked is asked to contact Capps at 909-798-7642 or Redlands Police Dispatch at 909-798-7681.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- A judge has sentenced four Ohio men to years in prison for their roles in crimes that resulted in the slayings of two men.
Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Frederick McDonald on Tuesday called the crime spree a "lethal combination of young men, guns, and drugs."
The (Toledo) Blade (http://bit.ly/TGZlRa ) reports that McDonald sentenced 19-year-old Kurt Finley and 20-year-old Samojay Edwards to 12 years in prison each.
Twenty-two-year-old Quandre Willingham was sentenced to 15 years, and 22-year-old Kevin Arnold got eight years.
The four were among six men arrested for the armed robberies and deaths of two men in two separate home-invasion robberies in November 2011. Two other people were shot but survived.
Two other men were previously sentenced to prison in connection with the spree.

No arraignment today for Amy Lord 'person of interest'; psychiatrist says Edwin Alemany suicidal
A man who is being eyed by police for his possible involvement in the Amy Lord murder is mentally unfit to be arraigned today for allegedly punching a second woman and stabbing a third in South Boston earlier this week during the same time-frame as the attack on Lord, a judge ruled this afternoon.
"This gentleman is not in any state of mind to be arraigned,'' South Boston Municipal Court Judge Tracy-Lee Lyons ruled.
Edwin Alemany, 28, of Boston was examined by a mental health specialist, who concluded Alemany was overcome by his emotions and suicidal, and could not help his lawyer with his defense.
Dr. Stephen G. Porter, a psychiatrist, said Alemany was bleeding after pulling out stitches in his hand and lying under a bench when the doctor met him. After a long silence, Alemany said he felt like dying, Porter said.
"He hasn't been able to speak with me barely at all today,'' Alemany's defense attorney, James Greenberg, also told the judge. Assistant District Attorney Nicole Rimar argued unsuccessfully that Alemany could "assist in this very limited proceeding.''
Lyons ordered Alemany sent to a 20-day evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital. She slated another hearing for Aug. 14.
Alemany is charged with punching a woman on Old Colony Avenue near Andrew Square around 5 a.m. on Tuesday and stabbing a woman as she walked on Gates Street near Telegraph Street shortly after midnight Wednesday.
But a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said Alemany is also a "person of interest'' in the murder of Lord, a 24-year-old South Boston woman who authorities have said was kidnapped Tuesday morning in the same area and forced to drive to five Boston banks to withdraw cash before she was murdered and her body was dumped in the Stony Brook Reservation in Hyde Park.
Lord was beaten inside her South Boston apartment building Tuesday morning before she was ordered into her Jeep by her attacker, who then forced her to drive to the banks during a 47-minute span — before fatally stabbing her, the law enforcement official said today.
The death of Lord, a Wilbraham native and Bentley University graduate, has shocked her family, friends, and neighbors in both her hometown and South Boston.
The official also said that while investigators initially believed that Lord may have been victimized by two men, Boston police homicide detectives have concluded that Lord was kidnapped, attacked, robbed, and murdered by just one man.
Boston police and Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley have appealed for the public's help in tracking Lord's movements across the city early Tuesday. Lord was forced into her black Jeep around 6 a.m. The last time her card was used was at 6:47 a.m., police said.
At 8:37 a.m., Boston police and firefighters responded to a call for a burning car at 26 Logan Way in South Boston. They found a black Jeep registered to Lord.
At 11 a.m., someone reported Lord missing to police in South Boston after she missed an appointment. At 4:21 p.m., a man riding his bicycle through Stony Brook Reservation in Hyde Park found Lord's body in the woods.
Family and friends recalled Lord as a vibrant, intelligent graduate of Bentley University who excelled at nearly everything she tried. At the time of her death, she was working as a media analyst for a digital marketing firm in the South End.
"If you had a daughter, you would want her to be like Amy,'' her grandfather, Donald Lordcq, said. "She was everything you would want your daughter to be.''

Press Release: Echols County Sheriff's Office
In the early hours of Thursday, July 11, 2013, Sheriff Randy Courson was on routine patrol traveling east bound on Hwy 376 when he got behind a silver 2006 Lincoln LS. Sheriff Courson noticed upon approach to the stop sign at Hwy 376 and Hwy 135 noticed the Lincoln had a left rear brake light out. Sheriff Courson conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and made contact with the driver, later identified as Courtney Carter, 21 of Stockton, GA. Carter appeared to be extremely nervous. Sheriff Courson also made contact with the passenger during the course of the traffic stop, who was later identified as David Windel Chaney, Jr. a.k.a (Little Man), 32 of Naylor, GA. Chaney was also extremely nervous and could not provide any identification. Sheriff Courson called for back up.
When back up arrived consent was given to search the vehicle due to the extreme nervousness and the inconsistency of their stories. A search of the vehicle revealed a small quantity of methamphetamine and tools commonly used for distribution and ingestion of methamphetamine. Carter was also found to be in possession of a schedule IV narcotic. Carter and Chaney were placed under arrest and transported to Lowndes County Jail for processing.
Carter was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine, felony possession of a schedule IV narcotic, and felony possession of tools for the commission of a crime. Chaney was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine and felony possession of tools for the commission of a crime.
Sheriff Courson encourages the public to come forward with any information on illegal narcotics activity. Callers may remain anonymous.Tips can be left through the Echols County Sheriff's Office at 229-559-5603 or the Echols County Sheriff's Office website at echolscountysheriff.com.

Very conservative Republicanism took it in the teeth in yesterday's election, which could be good for retirement planning.
Tea Party candidates lost elections in Virginia and Alabama, while New Jersey, a Democratic stronghold, kept moderate Republican Chris Christie as governor.
In Cincinnati, voters overwhelmingly defeated Issue 4, which would have eliminated old-fashioned defined benefit pension plans for teachers, firefighters and other public workers. The National Public Pension Coalition released a statement saying:
"Yesterday, the voters of Cincinnati stood against the Tea Party and supported a secure retirement by defeating Issue 4, which would have eliminated traditional pensions. This was a vote in support of working families, and a vote to ensure that workers are able to retire with dignity."
This turn of events also appears to have added fuel to the movement to expand rather than contract Social Security. The dominant idea is to adopt a more generous cost of living formula known as the CPI-E, or Consumer Price Index for the Elderly, which supporters say reflects the higher-than-average increases older people face when they pay for health care and housing. Supporters calculate that the CPI-E would raise Social Security benefits by an average of $70 per month, rather than hold them down as does the rival proposal for a chained CPI.
Today, Cleveland-area Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, jumped in to support a bill to adopt the CPI-E, sponsored by Senators Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Mark Begich, D-Alaska. Other outspoken supporters include both Hawaii Democratic Senators Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono. The plan also has backing from the AFL-CIO, the National Organization for Women and MoveOn.
The bill would pay for the increase by raising the cap on wages subject to Social Security tax. In 2014, the wage cap will be $117,000. If everyone who made more than that paid taxes on all their wages, but did not receive any commensurate increase in Social Security benefits, Social Security's Office of the Chief Actuary says that would resolve the program's current shortfall and finance some proposed increases. Adding benefits so that high earners would get a modest increase would have a much less dramatic impact, with actuaries estimating that only 43 percent of the program's current shortfall would be covered.
Does this bill have much of a chance? President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party officialdom support the chained CPI. Republicans have been outspoken in their support of any effort to cut Social Security, but the GOP's largest block of supporters are older Americans who love Social Security. If Democrats, eager to keep the White House in 2016, support an increase to Social Security while the GOP doesn't, would that sway elderly voters to vote Democratic? Stay tuned.

Yet Another Wrestlemania Card
by, 12-28-2012 at 07:13 PM (5383 Views)
My first blog ever. I've seen several bloggers post their Wrestlemania cards, so I figured I'd print mine as well. I'll start by saying that I've been a wrestling fan for over 45 years, so I'm no kid who likes "entertainment" when I watch wrestling (although my son sometimes does). I enjoy actual wrestling matches. My favorite wrestler of all time was Bret Hart, with Roddy Piper a close second. I watch WWE, Impact, and ROH. I attended the Madison Square Garden card as a kid when heel Superfly Jimmy Snuka leaped off the top of a steel cage and just missed WWWF champion Bob Bachlund. Everyone said, "At least he had the guts to try." Then he turned face and the very next card he did the same move to Don Muraco, although that time he nailed it. I don't mean to drag everyone down memory lane. I just want to show that I'm no teenager who expects to see Bill Goldberg or Stone Cold Steve Austin at Wrestlemania. Not going to happen. Anyway, enough reminiscing; here's my card:
Pre-show Battle Royal for a shot at the U.S. title vs Antonio Cesaro, featuring approximately 20 mid- and low-card wrestlers. Winner - Christian. While I think Christian will return at the Royal Rumble, that's not a certainty. I know this sounds a little like a repeat of Christian's last face turn, when he won the Intercontinental title from Cody Rhodes a while back after winning a pre-show battle royal, but I think he's due for a nice push, and winning the battle royal is a nice start. And he deserves it over any other mid- or low-card guy.
1. Diva Championship match: Eve Torres (c) vs Natalya, lumberjill match. Winner - Natalya. While I admit that I might be hoping for this because of who my favorite wrestler is (see intro paragraph), Eve has held the title for a long time and is due to lose it. Neither Kaitlin nor Layla seems like championship material, and Natalya has held that title before, so if WWE creative sets this up as a feud leading up to Wrestlemania it might actually lead to a diva's match being something more than a bathroom break.
2. WWE tag team championship scramble for the vacant titles. Epico & Primo vs the Uso's vs the Prime Time Players vs Team Rhodes Scholars vs Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel vs the New Age Outlaws. (For why Team Hell No is not in this match, see #5 below.) Winner and new champs: Prime Time Players. This team has received a nice push recently, and they're a likeable team for heels, so I can see them getting the titles. I see this as a fairly quick match, despite the scramble concept, but fast-and-furious for the tag team belts could lead to an interesting series of matches here.
3. Intercontinental title match: Wade Barrett (c) vs Shamus. Winner - Shamus. Look for Barrett to win the title at either the Royal Rumble or a televised event shortly thereafter, then to retain over Kofi Kingston at the Elimination Chamber PPV in February. I loved the Barrett vs Shamus feud which really never got off the ground, and the England vs Ireland concept should bring out the best in these two young superstars. Since losing the World Heavyweight Championship Shamus is due for another title run.
4. U.S. Title match: Antonio Cesaro (c) vs Christian. Winner - Antonio Cesaro. I've been very impressed with Cesaro since his WWE debut, and Christian should bring out the best in him. They could push this match saying that Cesaro claims he'll never be beaten by an American, but since Christian is not an American he just might be the guy to knock off Cesaro. Christian comes close, but Cesaro retains in a close contest.
5. Kane vs Daniel Bryan. Winner - Daniel Bryan. Team Hell No has to implode eventually, and at either the Royal Rumble or the Elimination Chamber we should finally see this happen. While I love the continuity between these two guys, they have to turn on each other eventually. I can see them never actually losing the titles, just eventually throwing the titles away and attempting to destroy one another due to continued inner turmoil. I pick Bryan as the victor because it's the start of another new push for him, since they have moved him down a notch as he takes the loss in most of the six man tag matches we see these guys in against the Shield. If given enough time, this match could steal the show, because Bryan is in the top 2 or 3 in-ring competitors in the business right now, and Kane can still go.
6. Rey Mysterio vs Sin Cara, mask vs mask match. Winner - Mysterio. Sin Cara never captured the love of the fans like Mysterio has, and I can see them turning him heel instead of Rey, who as the "ultimate underdog" still has much fan support. Sin Cara is unmasked, and WWE might be able to set a record for the most people wearing masks in the history of the world because they give out free masks to all attendees. Should be a fast paced and fun match.
7. World Heavyweight Championship match: Dolph Ziggler (c) vs Randy Orton. Winner - Ziggler. Ziggler cashes in Money in the Bank at either the Royal Rumble or the Elimination Chamber to finally win the strap. I have no idea who will be the face and who will be the heel in this match. Ziggler has a huge following and can easily transition into being one of the top faces in the company. Orton wants to be a heel, a role that he is much better at. If the lead up to this match causes a double switch, turning Ziggler face and turning Orton heel, that could be a great lead in. The fact that the WHC will be on the line is just a bonus. In a match-up of two of the best pure athletes in the WWE, this could be a classic if given enough time. No more 18 second matches for this title, please. Ziggler has earned a nice run as champion, so he should retain.
8. HHH vs Brock Lesnar, either last man standing match or a retirement match for HHH if he loses, or both. Winner - HHH. They have been hinting at this rematch for several months now. Last man standing is one of HHH's specialties, and I can see this being an old fashioned brutal beat down. HHH won't be wrestling forever, so fans might think this will be his last match ever. HHH wants to show he can still go in the ring, even though he rarely appears in matches anymore. Lesnar is a beast who can still get the crowd going, and this match has some real appeal for those who like an old fashioned slobber-knocker (quoting good old JR).
9. Six Man tag match, no DQ and no count outs: The Rock and John Cena and Ryback vs the Shield. Winners - Rock-Cena-Ryback. The Shield previously interferes in the CM Punk vs Rock match at the Royal Rumble, costing the Rock the WWE Title and leading to this match. The build for this match will be that the Shield is undefeated in six man tag matches, creating doubt as to who will win. A loss by the Shield in this match won't really hurt their push, if done correctly, and if they continue winning other matches after Wrestlemania. The faces have to win this match, which will roam all over the arena. The PPV can have a triple split screen for the fans watching on television, showing all six combatants simultaneously. This should be a very long match, with the younger heels actually carrying the faces with their superior wrestling ability. Some major bumps will be taken, questions will be answered about whether the Rock and Cena can put aside their past differences and work together as a team, and the star power of the Rock-Cena-Ryback team sells this match despite their relatively inexperienced opponents, who only the IWC and true wrestling fans (sometimes a minority, I'm afraid) knew before a few months ago. If done correctly, the Shield's push actually gets stronger despite their first loss.
10. WWE Championship match: CM Punk (c) vs the Undertaker. The streak vs the streak. Winner - the Undertaker. If my calculations are correct Punk will have held the WWE title close to 500 days come Wrestlemania, which is a very legitimate streak. The Undertaker will make his long awaited return at the Royal Rumble, entering in the mid to upper 20's, and will win that match, his second ever Royal Rumble win. That sets up this much anticipated match. Even though the Undertaker is now limited in the ring, Punk can definitely bring out the best in him. Plus Taker always pushes it up a notch at Wrestlemania. He'll be 21-0 after this match, and deserves one last well deserved championship run in his career. I doubt he'll have a long title reign, probably only one or two title defenses, but he should be able to manage that. One of the reasons they repeated Shawn Michaels vs the Undertaker at back-to-back Wrestlemanias, and HHH vs the Undertaker at back-to-back Wrestlemanias, is because they had trouble coming up with someone who was a credible opponent for the dead man. Most people think the Undertaker's Wrestlemania undefeated streak will never end, so to push his match they have to find an opponent that fans think might actually have a chance of ending the Undertaker's streak. CM Punk is just that man. He'll come up just short, and will even have fans conflicted as he hits GTS and gets a 2.99 count before the Undertaker just kicks out. A near 500 day WWE championship reign is a huge event in today's wrestling world, and the only place it should end is at Wrestlemania vs the phenom. Plus this would be an amazing match to end the show.
So, what do you all think? I think I would really enjoy this card, and would be willing to pay $60 for it, if they do it right. Time will tell.
Thanx for reading. Rob

Based on research in the international worlds of fine fragrance, fashion and design, Seven Scent's latest fragrance trends report offers an early insight into what to expect for autumn-winter 2014/15.
Key trend insights include:
"As we move into the autumn, there is a natural shift toward fragrances that evoke a sense of warmth and comfort. We expect to see light summer florals giving way to an altogether darker, more intense use of rich rose and red berries, as well as a dash of spirit-inspired notes to give a seductive character to fragrances," said Miri Scott, fragrance insight manager for Seven Scent.
Seven's bi-annual report also offers its own unique interpretation of these trends in the form of three distinct fragrance directions for the 2014/15 autumn-winter season:

Amazon recently announced KF8, which adds HTML5 interactivity to ebooks sold on the Kindle Fire (and later other Kindles). In a counterpunch, Apple recently announced the Apple iBooks format (.iba), which adds new levels of interactivity to ebooks produced for Apple's iBookstore.
It's not like they've abandoned their previous formats, however. They've simply added new ones. New ones that are… somewhat proprietary. I say somewhat, because the epub format is at the core of both. I can start with an epub formatted ebook, for example, and use KF8 to generate an Amazon-valid eBook in the .mobi format. An unzipped Apple iBook Author document (.iba) looks like this, with an epub sitting in the middle of the thing, big as life.
[Hint: to get this result, one must Export from iBooks Author, then change the .ibooks extension to .epub. From there, you can unzip the file.]
There's been a bit of back and forth between Daniel Glazman, co-chair of the W3C CSS Working Group, and John Gruber, of Daring Fireball, as to whether the new Apple format is a helpful development. (I hope they get to Amazon's KF8, as well. Because, as I said elsewhere, this is a salvo in the eBook Store battle between Amazon and Apple.)
I think both writers have valid points. As Gruber notes, Apple has created a tool that adds considerable value to its own platform. The output, to say the least, is not only gorgeous but truly interactive. It takes eBooks to the next level. And iBooks Author is Apple-easy to use, of course. But there is one point that Glazman makes about the iBooks Author format that sticks the hardest:
[T]his is a bad strategy because publishers are fed up with formats. For one book, they have too many formats to export to. For each format, they have to use tools to convert (usually from MS Word) that are incomplete and all require manual reformatting or validation. Adding an extra format that is almost EPUB3 but is definitely not EPUB3 output by a software that is an isolated island and does not offer any extra help to reduce the publishing burden is representing a huge extra investment…
Yes, of course this format proliferation isn't Apple's fault per se. And, yes, Amazon is doing the same thing (neener, neener, children on a playground, anyone?). But a quick perusal of the Wiki page on eBook formats reveals… 17 different versions, twelve of which are still active. No, wait… Add KF8 and IBA and that makes fourteen… This is definitely the "worse" part of the format war. You will have to create multiple versions of your eBook if you want to sell everywhere.
And remember, too, that Apple considers the Multi-Touch books created by iBook Author as separate entities, requiring an additional contract (Source: iBookstore: Publisher User Guide 2.0, January 19, 2012). So even Apple acknowledges there's extra work here.
The "better" part? Standards are definitely starting to coalesce around the epub format. The Kindle Fire, for example, is said to support epub as well as mobi. Indeed, epub is the most widely supported "vendor-independent XML-based e-book format," with a wide variety of platforms supported, from iOS, to Barnes & Noble's Nook, to the Sony Reader, to a bunch of others.
Overall, though, I would say this is like chemotherapy. It's supposed to make things better, but right now it really feels bad.

Board of Supervisors to Hold Public Hearing on Use of Federal Housing Funds for FY 2010
March 24, 2009
News Highlights
More Information
On Monday, March 30, at 4:30 p.m., the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing in the Fairfax County Government Center Board Auditorium, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, on the use of an estimated $8.8 million in federal housing funds in Fiscal Year 2010. The money will be spent as outlined in the Proposed One-Year Action Plan for FY 2010, which is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Public comments may be provided at the hearing or in writing. To sign up to speak at the hearing, call the Clerk to the Board at 703-324-3151, TTY 711, or sign up online. Written comments may be submitted until Thursday, April 9, at 4:30 p.m.; send written comments to Kehinde Powell, Housing and Community Developer, Grants Management, Department of Housing and Community Development, 3700 Pender Drive, Fairfax, VA 22030.
The Proposed One-Year Action Plan for FY 2010 is available online. Paper copies are available at the information desk at the Fairfax County Government Center or the Fairfax County Department of Housing and Community Development's offices at 3700 Pender Drive, Suite 300, Fairfax or 8350 Richmond Highway, Suite 527, Alexandria.
The action plan proposes how money from four federal programs would be spent by Fairfax County:
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): $5,928,982.
- HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME ): $2,448,682.
- Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG): $265,518.
- Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA): $180,000.
These dollar amounts are estimates, and HUD will announce the actual amounts that the county will receive later this year. In addition, it is estimated that there will be approximately $310,070 in CDBG program income and $52,211 in HOME program income in Fiscal Year 2010.
The action plan also proposes reallocating $929,947 in CDGB funds carried over from previous years. This money will be used to provide home repairs for the elderly ($168,888); housing for seniors, people who are disabled or homeless ($200,000); housing through the Housing First or Single-Room Occupancy programs ($350,000); and rehabilitating Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority properties ($211,059).
The plan includes an estimated $11 million for the second year of the two-year funding cycle for the Consolidated Community Funding Pool (CCFP) for FY 2009-2010. Of this, $9 million comes from a variety of local, state and federal funds, and $2 million will be allocated from the CDBG program. The Board of Supervisors will approve any award of CCFP funds as part of the FY 2010 Budget. The CCFP gives competitive grants to nonprofits and community-based programs.
For more information on the Proposed One-Year Action Plan for FY 2010, contact the Department of Housing and Community Development at 703-246-5170, TTY 703-385-3578.

Nutella Crepes ($10) come three to an order at Buvette, and are served at breakfast and lunch. The tiny rounds are folded in proper thirds, well-browned in plenty of butter and crisp at the edge. There's a healthy smear of Nutella, melted and oozy in the pocket of each crepe, and a dusting of powdered sugar for good measure. Devour them quick! Cold crepes are no fun.

It's been a long winter in the City Diff., as if you didn't know. But, at last, Santa Fe's contemporary music scene awakens from semi-hibernation with two important concerts this week. And they're all about anniversaries.
Happy 10th, Santa Fe New Music! It celebrates with works ranging from 1975 to practically yesterday. SFNM's founding director, John Kennedy, has programmed Ingram Marshall's "September Canons," a moving elegy for violin and tape honoring 9.11. Marshall, best known for "Fog Tropes" (on the sound track for Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island), surrounds his mysterious sound world with a cool, meditative aura. Think Andy Goldsworthy's luminous, numinous ice works.
Steve Reich may be the most influential American composer of his generation, a groundbreaker in his infinite variety of patterns and combinations. "New York Counterpoint," for solo clarinet plus 11 prerecorded clarinets, requires crisp, witty articulation that can overcome repetition fatigue. Reich casts the contrapuntal piece in three (fast-slow-fast) movements. The jazzily energetic finale could be a shout-out to Woody Herman, especially The Herd's hard-driving "After You've Gone."
Just back from Spoleto USA where he led the American premiere of Kaija Saariaho's Émilie, John Kennedy contributes three pieces: a new work for cello, a percussion duo and a piece for piano. Here, Kennedy honors the many dedicated SFNM musicians, among them violinist David Felberg, clarinetist James Shields, cellist Sally Guenther and percussionists David Tolen and Angela Gabriel.
Kennedy promised a surprise finale, and he delivers: the eclectic Dutch composer Louis Andriessen's "Workers Union." Written "for any loud-sounding group of instruments," it's a hootenanny for joyfully noisy instrumentalists. The New Yorker's Alex Ross calls Andriessen "a bit of a bad ass." But for this wacky exuberance? Just one word: kick-ass.
So that other anniversary concert? It's about a birthday, the greatly gifted Finnish cellist, Anssi Karttunen's 50th. He's here to lead Creative Dialogue IV, a symposium sponsored by the Sibelius Academy and Acequia Madre House where young musicians, in one intense week, encounter the newest of new music. You can hear all about it at their free public concert.
There's just one work on the program: "Mystery Variations on the Chiacona of Giuseppe Colombi," a September surprise b-day gift, commissioned by Saariaho and Muriel von Braun—30 spanking-new sets of variations based on Colombi's 17th century chacona (thought to be the first work written for solo cello). Nearly all the composers are friends or colleagues of Karttunen, many of them familiar to Santa Fe audiences: Saariaho, Magnus Lindberg, Marc Neikrug, Tan Dun.
Each variation lasts about three minutes; the 90-minute aggregate will have one intermission, with each of seven cellists playing four or five variations. It's a bold notion, a kaleidoscopic juxtaposition of styles
recalling Anton Diabelli's 1819 commissioning of 50-plus sets of variations from Schubert, Liszt (age 8), Beethoven, et al.
About his birthday present, Karttunen jokes: "If you don't like a variation, wait three minutes." Some are cerebral, some outrageous, some ear-splitting. (The most touching is an ethereal nonvariation, a brief note from the late Peter Lieberson regretting his inability to contribute.) Six student cellists hail from Eastman, Northwestern, Texas, Yale, the Sibelius Academy. For Karttunen, a raison d'tre for the Dialogues is to allow students to confront unfamiliar texts and bring each to life as if for the first time—an immensely challenging task.
The "Mystery Variations," after initiating with Colombi's four-bar chacona, proceed through a complex contemporary universe of styles and elaborations. As Alex Ross writes, "The dance of the chacona is wider than the sea." And frankly, the breadth of these variations is breathtaking.

There are some sites that offer free Dhamma books, I wonder if might be worthwhile to pin a thread somewhere with some links? Many of the books are available online, of course, but I like to order books and then pass them on to the local library in hopes they'll find their way into hands that might not have otherwise stumbled upon them. Maybe that's silly in the google age! But perhaps we might also get some revenue headed back to the sites that offer such a great service, too.
Just a suggestion, and thanks for all you do.

L'Oréal Paris HiP Studio Secrets Professional Shocking Shadow Pigments Reviews
LOVE ITI'm the kind of person who buys their products by the packaging, and I have to say I hit the jack pot on this one. I bought every color and every type the Hip offered when it first came out and I'm still using it. They last forever and are wonderful if you looking for an all over eye color or just a little pop. The pigments look even brighter when water is added and the powders stay put all day...read more (and to avoid getting any on your cheeks baby oil helps if you put a little dab on each lid). I wear a different on of these every day, I swear by them. If you don't like how bright they are it helps if a light color is put down before the high intensity pigment is (I use a white...). By far one of the best eye shadows.

Good value, great pigmentationI really love using this stuff as a soft shimmery base or highlighter. You can also use water, glycerine or an additive to make the colors really pop.

Information for Alumni
Welcome Back, Alumni
Stay engaged with ILR Career Services! We encourage you to utilize resources, recruit and assist current students, and stay connected with other ILR alumni.
Career Advising
The Director and advising staff are available to provide alumni 0-5 years out job-search advice via phone consultations when available. Alumni with more than 5 years' work experience often find networking with other alumni to be valuable to their specific career needs.
Job Postings in the ILR Alumni Bulletin
Seeking a career or job change? One of the benefits of membership in the Alumni Association is online access to the weekly ILR Alumni Bulletin, which contains job postings for which employers are targeting ILR alumni with experience in the ILR fields.
Connect with Our Students
One way alumni can give back to ILR is by serving as an informal mentor or sponsor to current students wishing to participate in experiential project-based winter internships (WISP or the Winter Intersession Program) and shadowing opportunities (FEX or Freshman Externship Program).
Another way alumni can give back is by encouraging their employers to hire ILR students for summer internships or full-time positions. We make it easy for employers to reach students through on-campus interviews, online job postings, and recruiting events such as career fairs and forums. Our employer page contains information about how to hire ILR students, or you can contact us directly for help in developing a hiring strategy. In addition, if your organization has hired an ILR student or ILR intern, you have an opportunity to provide guidance or to simply let him/her know you're available. This contact during an important time in their early careers is much appreciated by the ILR Office of Career Services!
If you plan a visit to Ithaca and would be interested in meeting with a group of students to discuss your career path, or to make a presentation to a student group, please let us know. We will try to facilitate this kind of interaction, too.
As you know, ILR at Cornell is a great source of highly talented job candidates for positions in human resources, labor relations, labor unions, governmental agencies, financial institutions, consulting, education, and the many career fields ILR students pursue. View the varied career fields our students pursue and click here if you'd like to participate in our On-Campus Recruiting program. If you can't make it to campus, take advantage of our Job Postings using the same web-based system, Handshake. You may post full-time and summer jobs for Cornell and ILR students online to students and alumni (with zero to five years of experience) and you will receive resumes online through that system. Please visit Cornell Career Services to post your job.
Connect with ILR Alumni
To stay connected to the ILR School, join the ILR Alumni Association. One benefit of membership is online access to the ILR Alumni Bulletin, which contains job postings from employers wishing to reach experienced ILR alumni for positions in the ILR fields.
If your employer would like to post opportunities to reach ILR alumni, follow the job postings link above to reach recent alumni (zero to five years of experience). To reach more experienced alumni, post in the ILR Alumni Bulletin. The Alumni Bulletin is produced weekly and postings are free of charge. Search firms are charged a modest fee. For more information, contact the Alumni Bulletin Coordinator at 607 255-5584 or by email email@example.com.
To connect with ILR alumni and other Cornellians, be sure to check out the events and activities sponsored by Cornell regional clubs and alumni associations. There are more than 80 active domestic clubs and 30 international clubs that together produce more than 1,000 events per year. Events and activities sponsored by dedicated alumni volunteers are great ways to connect with alumni to network and learn about career paths in a field you may be interested in pursuing.
