Great Expectations
Summary: Your harshest critic; your toughest training partner; your arch enemy (at times)...these people all have one thing in common: YOU. The time and energy and money that goes into a proper training cycle for a big event are the "big three" -- the things that conspire to put inordinate pressure on you pre-race. Succumb to their pull and you risk blowing things before you even start.
Advice: Maintain perspective. This is a hobby. You do this sport for fun; you aren't getting paid for it. I am not saying don't try hard, just avoid totally geeking out. After days / weeks / months of doing what you love daily (most likely early, alone and in the dark), you now get to celebrate your passion by competing with hundreds and thousands of other folks just like you. It's not pressure, this is a party!
1. Know that the only person who really cares how you do is you. Your friends and family just want you to be safe and happy. You owe them that.
2. Keep a smile on your face all day; you are blessed to be physically and financially able to compete in this event. There are many others who couldn't even dream of being in your shoes their lives are so hard.
3. Focus externally on the other folks during your week, saying hi to the other athletes and thanking the volunteers and local establishments who make your event possible. It will keep the good karma flowing and keep you in check.
4. The only time that matters is what the clock says at the end of the day. There will be challenges throughout your endurance day; it's what's supposed to happen! Your ability to handle them quickly and effectively will ensure you spend less time on the course and get to the finish line faster.
About Those Workouts
Summary: The entire goal of a taper period for an endurance event can be boiled down to this: getting rested and ready to race. There really isn't any "peaking" or last-minute speed gains to speak of. For most of us, the taper exists to facilitate the absorption of the work we have done and to keep us sane before the event.
Advice: Stop looking for magical workouts; the "work" is officially done. Instead focus on being rested and relaxed; ask yourself daily if you have achieved both, and if not, if your workout will help you towards either goal. If not, then just chill out.
1. Have a schedule in place, but check in with your body daily to see if the workout is the right thing to do.
2. Be extra vigilant. Riding through your town while your brain is off envisioning your race is a very, very bad place to be. Safety is number one.
3. Focus on race set up (especially if you have new gear related to the race) and form/technique. These things are conduits for your fitness. Don't be one of those folks who has a fantastic "engine" ready for race day, but doesn't have the right "wheels" to make the work happen.
4. No one has ever said, "Man, I was just too rested and ready to race today." Strive to be that person.

Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: None
Component/s: modules/spatial
Lucene Fields:New
BBoxStrategy needs better tests before I'm comfortable seeing it in 4x. Specifically it should use random rectangles based validation (ones that may cross the dateline), akin to the other tests. And I think I see an equals/hashcode bug to be fixed in there too.
One particular thing I'd like to see added is how to handle a zero-area case for AreaSimilarity. I think an additional feature in which you declare a minimum % area (relative to the query shape) would be good.
It should be possible for the user to combine rectangle center-point to query shape center-point distance sorting as well. I think it is but I need to make sure it's possible without having to index a separate center point field.
Another possibility (probably not to be addressed here) is a minimum ratio between width/height, perhaps 10%. A long but nearly no height line should not be massively disadvantaged relevancy-wise to an equivalently long diagonal road that has a square bbox.

LUCENE-5714: TestBBoxStrategy needs to declare docValues requirement
On additional thing I'd like to get in is to auto-extract the bounding box of a provided shape instead of throwing an error. It's not like this behavior would be unexpected; if you use this field it's quite intuitive that if you provide any old shape, it's going to index the bounding box. The current code is simply:
public Field[] createIndexableFields(Shape shape) { if (shape instanceof Rectangle) return createIndexableFields((Rectangle)shape); throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Can only index a Rectangle, not " + shape); }
Instead it would be:
public Field[] createIndexableFields(Shape shape) { return createIndexableFields(shape.getBoundingBox()); }
Rectangle.getBoundingBox() returns "this", by the way.

[ https://svn.apache.org/r1608793 ]
LUCENE-5714, LUCENE-5779: Enhance BBoxStrategy & Overlap similarity. Configurable docValues / index usage.
Add new ShapeAreaValueSource.
Latest patch:
- BBoxSimilarity is gone; instead BBoxSimilarityValueSource is abstract (just one impl though)
- Removed DistanceSimilarity as it's obsoleted by the generic DistanceToShapeValueSource introduced a couple months ago
- AreaSimilarity renamed to BBoxOverlapRatioValueSource as it's a more meaningful name
- BBoxOverlapRatioValueSource has a new minSideLength option that is applied to sides of the query, target, and intersection boxes. It's an optional way to handle point queries, which without this would basically match everything with the same score since there is no intersection area.
- Added generic ShapeAreaValueSource (with geoArea boolean option) that basically just calls shape.getArea(). This is a good way of handling sorting the results of a point query for indexed rects.
- setPrecisionType is gone; instead I'm trying a new scheme in which you get and set a FieldType. See LUCENE-5802. Use of DocValues is configurable and enabled by default.
I think it's probably ready to be committed now.
Another change to the API is, I think it's not needed to have a BBoxSimilarity interface. DistanceSimilarity can be tossed, and so could BBoxSimilarityValueSource. Instead, AreaSimilarity can be ShapeAreaValueSource that takes a ValueSource that produces shapes from it's objectVal(doc). This is in the same vein as DistanceToShapeValueSource. This underscores the pluggability with, say, SerializedDVStrategy with ValueSource's. It's plausible it will be faster to decode 4 numbers from a contiguous byte array than have to retrieve a number 4 times via DocValues. And the code shouldn't have to change accordingly – it's plug and play.
Continuing this (definitely a separate JIRA issue), looking at the TODOs: these two methods move to SpatialStrategy:
/** * Provides access to each rectangle per document as a ValueSource in which * {@link org.apache.lucene.queries.function.FunctionValues#objectVal(int)} returns a {@link * Shape}. */ //TODO raise to SpatialStrategy public ValueSource makeShapeValueSource() { return new BBoxValueSource(this); } @Override public ValueSource makeDistanceValueSource(Point queryPoint, double multiplier) { //TODO if makeShapeValueSource gets lifted to the top; this could become a generic impl. return new DistanceToShapeValueSource(makeShapeValueSource(), queryPoint, multiplier, ctx); }
That's right Robert Muir; it was assigned as such prior to your release branch. I bumped it to 4.10.
This patch is really more than testing, it also includes
LUCENE-5779 which is the change to AreaSimilarity's algorithm.
Progress report:
- I added an onslaught of randomized testing and it uncovered dateline edge cases (e.g. touches but doesn't cross the dateline) and world-wrap (-180 to 180) bugs that I fixed.
- Simplified queries that weren't used in a geospatial context (no need to check dateline cross)
- Removed supposed support for the Overlaps predicate, as it was written as identical to Intersects. This strategy never truly supported Overlaps even if it didn't complain. If someone wants it; create an issue and ideally upload the code too
Next up is Similarity testing.

Jack Henry Post #1, Anchorage, Alaska
Have You Ever Wondered Where Your $45.00 Dues Go?
by Greg Kowatch
Ive been asked this question on more than one occasion. So I thought Id do a bit of research and let the membership know how this works.
First of all, the Post only gets to retain $12.00 out of every $45.00 dues payment. When you think about it, $12 dollars really isnt that much.
We use these funds towards charitable contributions, paying for the early bird dinners for our members (who pay their dues early), and for miscellaneous office expenses we incur in regards to processing the memberships. The remaining $33.00 is sent to Department with the transmittals.
Now one would think the Department of Alaska is coming out in this deal, but again, they only get to keep a portion of those funds for their use. Department in-turn has to pay National for per capita expenses for each of the Department members; it has to pay a per capita expense to the districts (Western & South East) for each of those members, and also fund for the Legionnaire Newspaper that comes out on a monthly basis. The Department Headquarters has numerous other expenses to include Child Welfare support, building upkeep, payroll, travel expenses, office supplies, etc. So when you think about it, that $33.00 dollars gets split up more ways than you can imagine. So no one organization is really making a fortune here.
One thing in my research I found is that all levels of the American Legion are doing their best to ensure your dues money is being spent wisely. So the next time youre standing in line for a Post function and wonder why we have to charge fees to cover those function expenses, and you hear someone ask the question: What is my $45.00 annual dues going towards? youll know how to respond.
From the Desk of the former Post Historian
One of the key responsibilities of the Post Historian is work closely with the Post Adjutant. Ive learned quite a bit over the past few months, one being that our Post membership records are somewhat lacking. Im sure at one time all of the DD Form 214s and/or appropriate paperwork were on file. However, over the past several years several of the records have gone missing. Im attempting to assist our very busy Adjutant in getting these records back on track.
Weve updated the database and have identified all of our members were missing paperwork on. The Adjutant and I are handling this as the renewal membership payments come in. If the database reflects were missing your paperwork, you will receive a request for information form back with your new membership card. Please take the time to fill this form out and also provide to us a copy of your DD Form 214 and/or appropriate paperwork. Your cooperation in this endeavor will be greatly appreciated. We do wish to thank all of those members who have already responded to our request.

1. Call to Order - A regular meeting of the Staff Senate of Missouri State University was called to order at Plaster Student Union, Room 313 at 1:30 p.m.
2. Roll Call -
Present - F. Chris Arney, Belinda Davis, Tara Horton, Lisa McEowen-LeVangie, Myril Stewart, Kelly Brown, Norm Griffith, Phyllis Kenney, Phil Nichols, Chris Strodtman, Mike Clark, Mary Lynne Golden, Betty Lewis, Marilyn Robertson
Absent - Sherry Adams, SuzAnn Ferguson, Steve Mills, Patrick Byers, Cynthia Giacin, Robert Thurman, Chuck Donald, Abigail Hagy
Guests - Ginger Allard, Carol Ellis, Marline Ritter, Sara Clark, David Liss, Donna Smith, Angie Cockrum, Sheila Ponder, Scott Walker
Lisa McEowen‐LeVangie, Chairperson, presided and Betty Lewis recorded the proceedings of the meeting.
3. Guest Speaker - David Liss - David Liss, Staff Senate representative on the Health Care Review Committee, informed Staff Senate of the issues the Health Care Review Committee have been reviewing.
When the University insurance was up for renewal last year, the committee looked at all types of plans before deciding self-insured is the most cost effective and affordable option for both the employee and the University. St. John's won the bid through the university bidding process. Since the new contract started, several financial considerations have come up and David discussed the challenges of these considerations. We are currently in the third year of no increase in employee contribution on the family plan. However, costs have increased, but the university has paid the increased contributions for the past three years. The University will be covering another 10% increase July 1. A dollar amount equal to three months of estimated expenses must be kept in reserve to ensure the plan's solvency. This reserve, as well as the expenses that must be covered, continue to increase as the following indicate: in 2002 the plan experienced a 40% increase in costs over 2001; this year (2003) has already had a 20% increase in expenses over 2002.
The committee is looking at several options to help with costs, including deductible changes, total out-of-pocket changes and changes in the premium for family coverage. A decision on this increase would be made by October to take place January 1, 2004.
4. Approval of New Members -
Diana Garland was approved to fill a position vacated in manpower code 3 (Specialist/Support Professional).
The approved changes in the By-Laws created five new senate positions. These new positions will begin July 1, 2003 and serve for the remainder of this calendar year, plus two more full years. New senators approved are:
- Academic Affairs - Allison Crocker
- Administration & Finance - Sara Clark
- President's Office - Tami Sutton
- Student Affairs - Scott Walker
- University Advancement - Veronica Adinegara
5. Approval of Minutes - The minutes of the May regular meeting were approved.
6. Resolution on Wellness Incentives, Phil Nichols - The Resolution on Wellness Incentives was unanimously approved. Phil will contact Neosha Mackey, Chair of the Wellness Committee of the Fringe Benefits Committee, to have the committee take up the resolution and work on implementation.
7. Announcements -
There is a Faculty Senate opening for a Staff Senate Representative. This person should be classified staff. Contact Lisa if you are interested in representing Staff Senate at the Faculty Senate meetings.
The deadline for applications to the University Staff Ambassadors program is June 27. Applications are available online or in the Office of Administrative Services (Carrington Hall, room 104).
8. Report from the Chair - Lisa McEowen-LeVangie - Board of Governors approved revisions to the employee handbook. Governor Franks thanked the staff for picking up the added duties of unfilled positions. The Board of Governors elected the following new officers: Dr. Barbara Burns, President; Michael Franks, Vice President; Tom Allen, Treasurer; John McAlear, Secretary.
9. Committee Reports -
- Veteran's Recognition - Phil Nichols, Chair-Elect, reported the resolution in support of our troops that was approved by Staff Senate in May was presented to Faculty Senate which, after discussion, was not voted on. A similar resolution was passed by SGA earlier this year.
- Humanitarian Aid Collection - Phil also reported that $1,273.00 was raised for Kirk Meister and his family, who lost everything in the tornado last month.
- Staff Salary Task Force - Phil reported that Dr. Keiser is allowing the salary task force to continue forward as requested. A formal reply to the original Staff Salary Task Force recommendations is now available. Contact Phil Nichols for a copy.
- Public Affairs Committee - Phyllis Kenney announced that the committee has been discussing possible activities for Public Affairs Week September 23-25. The committee should have a proposal for Staff Senate to vote on in July.
- Faculty Senate - Myril Stewart reported that Faculty Senate elected new officers in their last meeting. Dr. Jim Giglio is the new Chair and Dr. Lois Shufeldt is the new Chair-Elect.
- Wyrick Commission - The Kings Street Retreat Garden was approved during the spring SGA elections. It will be in the empty area between Meyer Library and Forsythe Athletic Center.
- Master Planning Committee - Mary Lynne Golden reported that the Master Planning Committee presented plans for the next 30 years. At this time funds are not available for any new projects.
10. Announcements -
Sara will be taking pictures of the new members for our web page immediately after adjournment.
To avoid conflict with senators who might be on vacation on July 3, it was decided to move the July meeting to July 10. The meeting on July 10 will be in PSU 314 at 1:30 p.m.
The meeting adjourned at 2:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted:
Betty Lewis, Secretary
Staff Senate

Premier Danny Williams added a key piece in his long-term plan to keep oil revenues flowing into Newfoundland and Labrador, taking a conciliatory approach to partnering with major international oil companies on risky projects.
Often criticized for his fiery resource nationalism, The populist Mr. Williams on Tuesday announced an agreement-in-principle with the Hibernia consortium, led by Exxon Mobil Corp., in which the province will pay $30-million for a 7.8-per-cent stake in the long-stalled Hibernia South project.
The province will also receive super-royalties, rising to a 50-per-cent royalty rate on some production if the benchmark North American price exceeds $70 (U.S.) a barrel. The Hibernia deal will yield the province some $10-billion in revenues, the government estimated, and would help fill a critical revenue gap as the main Hibernia field declines, prior to the $7-billion Hebron project coming on stream in 2017.
The agreement caps a four-year process after Mr. Williams put the oil industry on notice that all future development would have to include a provincial ownership stake, a move that earned him the sobriquet "Danny Chavez," after Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez, who has had running battles with foreign oil companies.
Since then, his government has reached deals on three separate offshore projects, a 4.9-per-cent stake in Hebron; a 5-per-cent share in Husky Energy Inc.'s White Rose extensions, and now for an equity role in the Hibernia extension.
"These extensions – the White Rose extension and the Hibernia South extension – will come on at a very opportune time and hopefully can level out our production," Mr. Williams said in an interview.
"Without these, we'd be in declining production in the existing fields."
"What we see today is another shot in the arm," said Ron Ellsworth, deputy mayor of St. John's. "It reinforces the confidence of the Newfoundland economy."
The demand for equity has been a key theme in Mr. Williams' premiership, including his promise during the 2007 election race that there would be "no more giveaways" and that Newfoundlanders and Labradoreans would be "masters of our own destiny."
It was a populist campaign, tapping a deep vein of resentment among residents that the province's resources have for decades enriched others. It worked. Mr. Williams returned to office with an increased mandate and is still now riding high in the polls.
While there have been complaints that oil wealth in the increasingly prosperous province has been slow to trickle out of the St. John's area, the capital is booming. Real estate figures from April show that average house prices rose by more than 16 per cent in the past year and there is almost no class-A business space to be had.
Mr. Williams has modelled his approach on oil-rich Norway, which pays for its equity participation and contributes to the construction costs in North Sea projects though its widely respected state-owned company, StatoilHydro ASA.
"The Newfoundland government has looked at the Norwegian model for years and liked that approach to developing oil and gas resources," said Paul Barnes, St. John's-based vice-president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. "And many of the industry players that are active here are used to working with that model."
With the Hibernia agreement, the province will gain a 10-per-cent equity stake in three of four blocks slated for production; the three are estimated to contain 170 million barrels of oil. The province agreed to forego its equity claim on another 50-million-barrel block, which lays closest to the existing Hibernia gravity-based structure and will be developed first, because it is part of the original production licence.
"I do feel some satisfaction that we are working together to try to overcome any obstacles to developing the industry down here," Mr. Williams said. "I feel good for the people of the province."
He said the Hibernia South project will be an important contributor to the province's economy, generating $10-billion for the provincial treasury and its oil company, Nalcor Energy. The Canadian government would reap some $3.6-billion from the extension of Hibernia, which was Canada's first offshore project, producing some 700 million barrels of crude since 1997.
While the extension won't provide the large number of construction jobs that the original project did, it will employ drillers, and supply ships and fabrication plants in the area that are already humming with work.
Glenn Scott, president of ExxonMobil Canada, said the deal is a good one for the province and for the companies in the Hibernia consortium.
"The Hibernia southern extension will provide meaningful benefits to the province in terms of royalties, equity participation and jobs, as well as meaningful returns to investors in Hibernia," Mr. Scott said.

On Apr 17, 2014, the shares of exploration and production company Athlon Energy Inc. soared to a 52-week high of $42.74 backed by the strategic acquisition of assets in the reserve-rich West Texas province, active drilling programs in the Permian basin, sound liquidity position and an increased 2014 guidance. The shares finally closed at $42.00, up 1.8% from the previous day's closing.
Predominantly a vertical drilling operator, Athlon Energy's steady shift to horizontal drilling has proved beneficial for the company. The company has already completed two horizontal wells in the WolfCamp A zone in Texas and initial production results look favorable.
Prompted by the success of its horizontal drilling programs, Athlon is targeting a third horizontal well, Tubb 39#H, in Howard County, which it drilled and cased successfully.
The company reported a sharp 71% year-over-year rise in production levels in the first quarter 2014. Given the bullish drilling prospects in the U.S., we could expect strong performance from Athlon Energy in 2014. It projects daily production to average between 23,000 and 24,250 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boe/d) for 2014.
The ongoing shale development in the U.S. will give an impetus to Athlon Energy's drilling operations in the reserve-rich plays. In addition, the company's liquidity position which as on Mar 31, 2014 was $956.5 million will amply meet Athlon Energy's future capital needs to support its growth initiatives.
The recent acquisition of assets in the northern Midland Basin is also expected to boost Athlon Energy's drilling potential and is well timed given the country's drive to turn energy independent in the not-so-distant future.
Texas-based Athlon Energy presently holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Other well-placed oil and gas operators include Zacks Ranked #2 (Buy) Abraxas Petroleum Corp. (AXAS - Free Report) , EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG - Free Report) and Callon Petroleum Co. (CPE - Free Report) .

Picture: Sharon Osbourne Pride of Britain Awards 2009 held at Grosvenor House hotel London, England - 05.10.09
Sharon Osbourne got her hands dirty in a bid to win a task on Donald Trump's CELEBRITY APPRENTICE - she had to clear leftovers and wait on tables with fellow contestant Cyndi Lauper.
The pair is taking part in Trump's U.S. reality TV contest and has to complete a series of business-orientated tasks to help raise cash for the American Diabetes Association.
The America's Got Talent judge and 80s icon Lauper were asked to serve customers at New York's Burger Heaven - and both stars threw themselves into the task, taking orders and cleaning leftovers from the diner's booths.
But they still managed to maintain their superstar stylings - Lauper donned a pair of knee-high leather boots and a classic waitress' pink shirt, while Osbourne wore her trademark black ensemble with added jewellery.

Aston Villa employee blasts 'soul destroying' club as she resigns
"It is soul destroying to watch it and I can't bare to watch it anymore"
Elaine Rose
"After the game players are coming out of the changing rooms laughing and joking with each other even though we have had a big defeat," said the lifelong fan who had worked in the Trinity Road Stand on matchdays for six years.
"It is soul destroying to watch it and I can't bare to watch it anymore.
"They have no regard for the supporters, if anyone has anything to say they are banned from the ground, ejected and have their season ticket taken off them.
"A couple of games ago, one of the head guys before the game – we are sitting rock bottom of the Premier League – he is actually dancing in reception.
"I could not believe it.
"It is not a laughable situation we are in at the moment, it is quite tragic to see a great club like Aston Villa sinking so low and doesn't look like it will ever come back the way things are.
"It is terrible, the head guy at the moment has hired himself two bodyguards to stand around him in the directors' box because he doesn't want to take any criticism and if anyone hurls any abuse they are out – no questions asked."

If only America's malls took a cue from porn films, the already brisk holiday sales seen during post-Thanksgiving spending sprees would probably double. Perhaps they would even triple. How? Make the mall Santa a girl. It's pretty simple, really. Look, women will always go to the mall. Men, on the other hand, avoid the mall at any cost. But, plunk a sexy blonde, maybe brunette waif dressed in some skimpy red and white suit into a fake, wintry wonderland and see what happens. It sure beats looking at the standard, rotund, middle-aged slob with the beer gut and unkempt thicket of chin whiskers who scares the bejeezus out of kids, while promising to bring them a trove of fad gadgets for Christmas.
Sexy Santa explores the idea that Santa may actually be female. There's no mall and no Orange Julius stand, but the cast is a who's who of amazingly gorgeous and amazingly horny women. Julia Taylor, Dora Venter, Judith Fox, Tarra White, and Liz Honey all star in this adventure.
Directed by Anita Rinaldi and released through Private Media, the film takes us through the story of a guy who, while lying in bed, has a nightmare about some strange figure roiling about underneath the covers. A trepid peek reveals a bright light and a female figure clad in festive Christmas garb beckoning him to crawl under the covers with her. After some frolic and some yuletide anal pounding, the guy is rousted from his dream only to realize Santa is a girl. He tells his buddy about the heavenly creature who gave him a piece on earth. His friend, wanting a shot at some tight tannen-bum as well goes in search of these Santa girls.
The film contains seven scorching scenes filled with plenty of fingering, blowjobs, pussy-licking, cumshots, and anal sex as the Santa girls go through their overflowing bags of mail, fulfilling all the torrid wishes of Christmas present, save one. For whatever reason, they choose only to mock the letter from some poor soccer player who is ashamed of showering with teammates because of his small penis.
The best scene occurs as one of Santa girls takes out her retribution on two male voyeurs that were caught trying to get an eyeful of the scantily clad helpers. She rides one of the instigators as she sucks off the other before settling into some double penetration action. As a finale, she takes a facial from each before returning to her brood for some more mailbag musings.
Overall, the concept of the film is interesting, though, because the cast is almost entirely from Europe, the accents, though very sexy, fall short when attempting a punchline to a hackneyed joke. The women, however, are all gorgeous and if you're a lover of anal sex then your pole will most certainly point north. Check out Sexy Santa. You won't be disappointed. Plus, it's just one more reason to keep you from going to the mall.

Rodney Goldenberg, principal of Mission Vista High Schools, is counting the days until he can walk on his campus without a hard hat.
"Starting this school and looking at all the possibilities . . . is fabulous," he said Friday. "We just want to get started with it."
And get started he will this fall, at a temporary site on the Washington Middle School campus.
Construction of the $94 million Mission Vista High campus at state Route 76 and Melrose Drive in east Oceanside has fallen 18 months behind schedule. The campus is expected to be ready for students in January.
The installation of off-site utilities, which Vista Unified School District administrators have said was the responsibility of Cadence Homes, a developer that owns adjacent property, has been stalled.
Cadence, hit hard by the recession, doesn't have the estimated $3 million to do the work. The school district is looking at how it can pay for the work in order to get the high school completed, said Donna Caperton, the district's chief business officer.
"Since we have to pay for the utilities, we will seek legal recourse to reimburse the district," Caperton said.
In the meantime, Goldenberg and a small teaching staff will welcome the school's inaugural class – 240 freshman are signed up so far – this fall.
The school will begin in classrooms used now by Vista Focus Academy on part of the Washington Middle School campus on Olive Avenue in central Vista. As a cost-saving measure, the academy will close and students will be shifted to other schools in the district.
Mission Vista High is designed as a "dual magnet" high school that will offer specialized instruction in the arts and communication, and science and technology.
Much of the 66-acre campus will feature science labs, art and music classrooms and a performing arts center, along with other facilities to support the curriculum.
The school initially will be staffed with two English, two math, two science and two world history teachers, as well as teachers of physical education, Spanish, digital arts, theater and music.
Students have already chosen a mascot, the Timberwolf, and the school colors, black and green.
Goldenberg is working on forming educational collaborations with local biotechnology firms and hospitals and with MiraCosta College, which has a strong biotechnology program. Other college partnerships are in the works for music composition and technology, Goldenberg said.
The Mission Vista campus on Route 76 offers expansive views of the surrounding agricultural land and rolling hills.
At the site Friday, the gymnasium and theater were still under construction and the science labs hadn't been built. But all of the other classroom wings and the administration building were mostly complete.

BAGHDAD: Iraq said yesterday it would not grant US troops freedom of movement for military operations in a new agreement being negotiated on extending the presence of American troops on its soil.
Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih said the US wanted its forces to operate without any restrictions, but this was not acceptable to Iraq.
The US is negotiating an agreement with Iraq aimed at giving a legal basis for troops to stay in Iraq after December 31, when their UN mandate expires.
"What I can confirm now is that there will not be freedom of movement for American (forces) in Iraq," Salih told Arabiya television.
But Western diplomats say it was unlikely the Americans would agree to any deal that would require them to seek permission from the Iraqi government for every military operation.
The negotiations are the subject of heated debate both in US and Iraq, where thousands have answered anti-American cleric Moqtada Al Sadr's call for weekly protests after Friday prayers.
In Baghdad's Sadr City, protesters torched a US flag, while at a mosque in Kufa, thousands of protestors erupted into an impromptu demonstration, chanting "No, America, no! Iraq will not be an American colony!"
However, cleric Sadralddin Al Qubanji, in the city of Najaf, said the agreement could be acceptable, but only if included a date for US troops withdrawal.
Meanwhile, two suspected Shi'ite militia leaders surrendered yesterday when US forces raided their homes south of Baghdad.
One of the men is suspected of ordering attacks on US troops, directing the kidnapping of Iraqis and smuggling Iranian weapons and Katyusha rockets into Iraq. The other suspect tried to flee by wading through an irrigation canal, before turning himself over to US soldiers.
The US said the men were members of Iranian-backed "special groups".
The arrests and demonstrations came on the eve of Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki's trip to Iran.
In incidents of violence, a woman suicide bomber blew herself up at a police station northeast of Ramadi, 100km west of Baghdad, killing one policeman and wounding four others.
Coalition forces captured 10 wanted men and detained 22 others in operations targeting Al Qaeda in Baghdad, Mosul and the Tigris River valley.
Gunmen kidnapped an off-duty police officer on a road near Tikrit, while gunmen killed three policemen and wounded two others at a police checkpoint in Dour, 150km north of Baghdad, police said.
The US military yesterday said its soldiers killed four suspects and captured more than 57 others in raids earlier in the week in Baghdad and across northern Iraq.
And a US Marine sniper has been charged with two counts of voluntary manslaughter in the shootings deaths of two civilians in Iraq.
Separately, the Kurdish Peshmerga security force briefly took over the Khurmala oil field and sent away employees working there, underlining rivalry between Baghdad and the Kurdish regional government over territory and rights to Iraq's huge oil reserves. However, the Iraqi Oil Ministry took the employees back to the field and they resumed working.

According to the UK newspaper The Guardian,
"Meyer's The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, told from the perspective of a newly created vampire, was published in the UK at 5.05am on 5 June and went on to sell almost 90,000 copies that day – taking the number one slot "by a hefty margin", according to book sales monitor Nielsen BookScan. This is despite Meyer making the book available for free online until 5 July.
"People were queuing at our Milton Keynes branch from 4.30am," said Waterstone's spokesman Jon Howells. Copies of the strictly-embargoed book were delivered to Waterstone's Piccadilly branch in a coffin.
"It's our fastest-selling book so far this year and it may be the fastest-selling book of the year … it will be pretty tough to beat it," Howells said. "It's our biggest book since Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. Offering it online for free is a nice touch [but] I don't think it's a big deal. Pretty much every Twilight fan will want not just to read it, but also to own it. It's shaping up to be a big 'un."
Pictured above is Heloise Devaux who won a competition to receive the book first at the flagship Waterstone's store. Photo credit: Tim Ireland/PA
The New York Times Bestseller list that The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner qualifies for won't be out until June 20. There is always a two-week lag between release and tracking for that list. Other noted lists like The Wall street journal and USA today should be available next week.

THE SCREEN; Mr. Goodman's Public Goes 'Ga-Ga' and Breaks Up the Showing of 'Zaza' at the Paramount Theatre
Claudette Colbert, Herbert Marshall and the others in the cast of "Zaza" were rude enough yesterday to disturb the chatter, the hand-clapping and the rhythmic foot-stamping of an audience that was impatient for Benny Goodman's orchestra to take the Paramount's stage again. They paid for their effrontery. Their lines were drowned in the hubbub. They were subjected to the psuedo-comic promptings of the schoolboys in the audience. Their key scenes were greeted by chants of "We want Benny, we want Benny!" Their picture was dinned off the screen.
It was quite impossible, under those circumstances, to form any opinion of the film—except the opinion that it obviously lacked the charms to soothe the savage breasts of Goodman-music fans. Miss Colbert's Zaza was received coldly, when at all, except when she was putting over an anachronistic torch-song whose burden was "when I see my love again, I'll say 'Hello Darling!'" It was only in this modern mood that Zoe Akins's lively heroine of the French music halls of the Nineties seemed to be in touch with her Paramount public. But even then the applause greeting the number still carried an undertone of regret that Mr. Goodman's clarinet was not whining out the accompaniment.
Mr. Marshall's Dufresne had no such saving quality. When he was resisting Zaza's outrageous blandishments in the dressing-room scene, the audience wits took it upon themselves to shout advice, most of it unprintable. When he admitted his caddishness in not confessing a prior wife and child, there were deprecatory "tsks, tsks"—if that's the proper way to spell "tsk, tsk." In short, Mr. Goodman and his adolescent following had the Paramount all to themselves, and "Zaza" and its would-be reviewers were simply interlopers.
Some day, after Mr. Goodman has left, we and the picture may be able to get together. From the confused impressions we were able to form of it yesterday, we haven't much hope for it, but at least we'll be able to tell which was the more ridiculous: the picture or its reception at the Paramount. . . . Also on the program is Benny Goodman and his orchestra.

Don't let any one tell you the legal profession is overcrowded. Any normally ambitious young man out of law school who doesn't mind sacrificing a few ideals (don't crowd now, gentlemen) can get a Park Avenue apartment easily and simply by taking up the lucrative career of "mouthpiece" for a mob of racketeers. No special training or experience is necessary. Applicants need only be charming like Robert Cummings in "I Stand Accused" (at the Criterion) and weak enough not to be able to hold out against the clamoring of the underworld for a young lawyer of his talents and ingenuity—one example of which is a sleight-of-hand substitution of evidence under the court's juridical nose.
Thomas Beck is the partner who never loses his perspective and who ends in the D. A.'s office, on the side of the prosecution. Thomas never had much trouble in getting placed either, but it's Robert who gets Helen Mack, so level-headedness and strict probity have their romantic disadvantages, haven't they? In passing, we should like to record the observation that Lyle Talbot as Eastman is quite the most indestructible phenomenon we've seen in the way of a gangster since the public-enemy cycle.

The saving on this game is slow. I beat the game, and didn't wait through the credits and it put me back on level 18 out of 20? I don't quite understand that.
Other than that, it was a pretty fun defense game.
Hey Sizzlebuzz! Thanks for playing the game and actually finishing it :) You are awesome!
There are only 18 levels (3 cities with 6 levels each), so I think the saving worked as expected. - Simon

Manchester, New Hampshire (PRWEB) June 23, 2014
The year of 2014 is halfway over, and already, this year has been the safest for traveling families in years. According to Club Resort Intervals, complaints seen across the Internet by travelers about travel scams are less of a threat now that travelers are familiar with the red flags to watch out for. Tricks and schemes that once fooled thousands of travelers every year are today seeing success numbers flounder. Traveler security is of the utmost concern for Club Resort Intervals, and so this luxury vacation provider cautions travelers to always be on the lookout for some of the following suspicious activity.
Club Resort Intervals reveals that complaints seen by non-members largely highlighted the travel fear of being the victim of theft. Even in a digital age, physical theft is just as much as a threat as it ever was. Luckily, there are a number of measures that travelers can adhere to that will reduce their chances of being targeted by pickpockets or thieves. One of the best ways to avoid being the victim of a pickpocket is for the traveler to avoid looking like they have anything to steal to begin with. Wearing flashy jewelry or expensive-looking accessories is a great way for a pickpocket to take notice. Wallets and handbags should be kept in front of a traveler at all times. Bags held firmly in front, and wallets kept in front pockets, are less likely to be targeted by a pickpocket.
Many of the other travel complaints seen when Club Resort Intervals took a look at complaints from non-members had to do with airports. Airports are notoriously busy, crowded places. Many travelers get stuck waiting in long lines, standing amongst strangers waiting for baggage check or to just grab a bite to eat before catching a flight. While it is very easy for travelers to be distracted at airports, whether by their own vacation plans or by other travelers around them, they should always keep their belongings in-hand at all times. Thieves can disappear into a crowd faster than a traveler may notice one of their bags is missing.

High resolution ultrasound should be the imaging test of choice when evaluating patients with foot drop (an inability or difficulty in moving the ankle and toes causing uncontrolled slapping of the foot while taking a step), according to a study to be presented at the ARRS 2010 Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA. Ultrasound imaging is non-invasive and involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce pictures of inside the body.
Foot drop is usually caused by peroneal neuropathy which is the most common compression neuropathy (damage to a single nerve or nerve group) of the lower extremity. "Electromyography (EMG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used to evaluate the peroneal nerve in patients with foot drop, however, they are not always effective,' said Tom Grant, DO, lead author of the study.
The study, performed at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, in Chicago, IL, included 15 patients with foot drop who were evaluated using high resolution ultrasound. "Ultrasound was found to be highly effective for the characterization of the common peroneal nerve, including intrinsic and extrinsic causes of peroneal neuropathy," said Grant. All patients evaluated were found to have peroneal neuropathy.
"Ultrasound is less expensive than EMG and MRI, it is painless, and as our study suggests, is highly effective for the evaluation of patients with foot drop," he said.
"Ultrasound should be considered as a first test in the evaluation of patients with foot drop. If the ultrasound is normal, then EMG and MRI should be performed," said Grant.
This study will be presented on Thursday, May 6, at 4:10 p.m. Pacific Time. For a copy of the abstract or to schedule an interview with Dr. Grant, please contact Heather Curry via E-MAIL at email@example.com.

Only through failure can we learn to succeed.
While I believe that's one of the most important life lessons we can learn, it's all to often overlooked when we, as parents, attempt to shelter our little dudes and dudettes from this sort of thing, to ensure a failure-free lifetime for our spawn.
The problem with that plan is that it ensures the growth of a no-longer-child who cannot cope with setbacks, who doesn't know how to learn from mistakes, use that knowledge to correct his or her errors and move on to the next aspect of his or her life. Those of us of the adult persuasion understand that learning from our mistakes so we don't make them again is essential in just about every aspect of our daily existence.
Folks shouldn't look at failure as a bad outcome, as long as they contain the persistence to continue working toward the goal they, at first, didn't attain. Heck, listen to huckster and part-time inventor Thomas Alva Edison: I didn't fail ten thousand times. I successfully eliminated, ten thousand times, materials and combinations which wouldn't work.
Adam Savage is a Maker, sort-of scientist and best known as co-host of Discovery Channel's Mythbusters series. Yesterday, I ran a list of his 10 rules for success. One of those rules said — simply — fail.
If you've ever watched Mythbusters, you know one of his sayings is that "Failure is always an option." He's not a defeatist, rather he understands that by examining why something failed and how it failed, he can apply those lessons to make the endeavor succeed.
Another of his rules that I particularly like would have to be: If you want something, ASK. I've a feeling this should be self-explanatory, but, for too many dudes and dudettes, this completely escapes them.
Too many people seem to believe that their only choices are the ones actually offered to them. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
One of the most important lessons that Zippy the College Boy learned in high school and that, hopefully, Hyper Lad will learn now that he's attending the same high school, is to self advocate. Which means, in a nutshell, ask for what you want.
If you don't understand something in class, ask the teacher for clarification. If you still don't get it, don't worry. Just keep asking and trying until you do.
If you see someone doing something cool? Ask them how they did it, how they learned it? Where can you learn it?
Looking at Savage's list, I think the most important thing you can take away from it is that you should approach life as a participatory sport, rather than something you should watch happen.
Get involved! Get motivated!
Work, as Savage said, your ass off to achieve your goals. If you don't have what you need to accomplish those goals, don't collapse into a weeping pile of angst. Ask for help. Get what you need, practice the new skills and get good. Then go out and accomplish your goals.
Success takes more than just hard work and diligence, but you can't succeed without either of them.

Just the two of us
My wife left town for a summer trip a little over a week ago as I write this. Let's call it 200 hours, during five of which (I'm almost positive) I've slept.
I don't understand the mechanism here, but then nearly 30 years of marriage has its share of mysteries. There are drawers I've still never opened and bottles in the bathroom I still can't identify, so it's no wonder that relatively small changes disrupt my rhythm.
Sleep is not normally an issue for me, but when my wife is away or I'm away from her it becomes fragile.
So it was easy to drive down to Seattle very early last Saturday morning. I was up, if not necessarily completely conscious.
A friend and I took advantage of the nice weather to walk along the waterfront, something we haven't done since the last time summer showed up.
We were joined by some wild-eyed people on the downtown streets, obviously inspired by the sun and the early hour, and eventually by tourists who picked a nice weekend to visit, but mostly by people doing what we were, walking and talking.
Puget Sound provided the backdrop, and our conversation consisted of historical trivia, articles or books we had read that made us wonder what we really knew.
At one point near Centennial Park, we wandered into a discussion about the Kennedy assassination, a subject that when talked about in public can make even boring old guys look pretty wild-eyed themselves, no matter how dispassionate they are. We moved on.
And then I realized that we'd been doing this, my friend and I, on these same streets and in this same way, the same subjects and with occasionally the same mild arguments, for somewhere north of a quarter-century. Half of my life.
I don't understand the mechanism of this, either. My impulse, if asked, would be to tell you that I can count my long-term relationships, the ones that cover decades, on the fingers of one hand, but the truth? I would need more fingers.
There are dozens of them, in fact, helped along now by social media. Some of these attenuate by the facts of life, get stretched out over time and thinned, geography and a million other reasons to have nothing in common anymore, and still they have strength.
Months or years go by, but what has changed seems meaningless compared to what hasn't.
And the most consistent of these? It might surprise you. It always surprises me.
It's not my marriage, although that probably needs its own category. Still, intimacy has its own variety, years spent holding hands and others not really speaking. Consistency would make it something else.
But I've been a parent for nearly 27 years, and I've seen two different lives. One child burst out of the door after high school, going to college in a different state and then moving on, marriage and more.
This is expected, understandable, and disconcerting, although I'm used to seeing her maybe once a year now and having to live with that.
And one child may never leave.
This is what surprises me, then. When my wife goes out of town, I'm tempting to start with the jokes and not stop until you've left the room, bored.
Two male inhabitants, suddenly without feminine supervision? Hide the Pop-Tarts and open the windows. You've heard it, you know the routine.
But the truth? I've worked at home since before he was born; I will never leave, either. I held him when he was a minute old, I was there when he took his first steps, I saw the oddities and differences as soon as anyone else.
Proximity and necessity left me in charge more often as the years went by, dealing with schools and social workers and doctors and just day-to-day.
And somehow, this boy and I, we became a pair.
I know him the way a parent knows a child, but the surprise? He knows me, too, and maybe better than anyone. He knows my rhythms, my habits, my moods, and he tolerates all of them because he always has.
Day after day, year after year, as he grew up and I grew old, we kept each other company, and it's only at this stage that I'm starting to realize how grateful I am.
It's a special circumstance, of course. My son has different challenges and different abilities than most, maybe, but routine has a way of blurring those differences into normal, into just the way we are, the two of us.
A couple of guys, surely, but mostly just a couple.
And if and when he leaves, I'll be the one who will truly know what he's accomplished, and what I have, and how much of it was done together.

" Brand: Topshop / Type: Female Casual Wear - Leggings "
I'm a massive fan of leopard print and was dying for a pair of leopard print leggings, after buying a cheaper pair and the material being way to thin I forked out for a pair of these!
*What to wear them with*
You can wear these with black heels and a nice plain top for a night out, or during the day I tend to wear these with a jersey top and a pair of flats and they look perfect with my topshop leather jacket!
They retail for twenty pounds which sounds a bit much but there are several reasons why they are worth it:
-The material is thick, meaning its warm and can be worn winter and summer, they keep your legs warm in the winter but aren't too hot in the summer heat.
- The quality is amazing, other cheaper leggings don't tend to last me long because the stitching comes loose or the quality of the material isn't up to scratch but these are a really good quality legging!
I bought it a size above my usual six, as the rise was quite low as I'm quite tall, on the six the leggings didn't cover up my bum enough and were too tight around the waist, the 8 is more comfy and sits on my hips nicely and the leggings reach my feet and aren't too short, I would recommend getting a size bigger in most cases, but leggings are defiantly something you need to try on first!
Leopard print is something risky as it can look tacky a lot, but these leggings certainly don't look tacky and are comfy and really good quality, twenty quid is a lot for leggings but because they last so long and are something you can wear day or night so they really are worth it, if you don't want to pay full price it is worth looking on eBay!
Want to stand out from the crowd? Well these printed leggings are a perfect match for you. Girls these pattern leggings are a must have, and you're paying an affordable price of £20.00 from Topshop pay less look more so grab before you regret it!
I own a pair of the exact leggings when I saw them in the magazine my eyes were all over them. I'm happy I purchased the leggings they are fashionable to wear for all occasions from everyday to a night out. From all my leggings I have these are my favourite pair, they are so comfortable and I always get my friends and even people I don't even know of the streets saying they like them so its not only me who has love for the them!.
To complete the outfit I wear them with a plain black top with a pair of black boots. When you're wearing pattern leggings try not to clash your outfit with too much pattern, as the leggings speak for itself and brings out the style in you!
I am currently doing a fashion degree, hoping to become either a fashion stylist or a fashion designer. Either way - I am very up to date with current trends but often I choose not to follow them. I love being individual and dressing in whatever I like rather than the same as everyone else.
Topshop is one of my favourite brands (that I can actually afford) so it is where about 70% of my wages go. I saw these and couldn't help myself but run to the counter to buy them!
The leggings are quite size appropriate so no need to go up or down a size like other stores. I am usually a size 6 but I had to go to a size 8 as I unfortunately binged a little on holiday and they were out
Normally leopard print is linked to the 'chav subculture', but none the less it is still gorgeous and seems to be popping up all over the high street recently. These leggings have been on sale since the summer when I brought mine and can still be purchased now. They cost £20 and if you have a student card then you will be able to buy them for only £18 as you get 10% off.
The leggings are quite size right, so you won't need to buy up/down a size like in some other stores. I am usually a size 6 but after a holiday binge I put on weight and had to buy an 8 (hence the previous review on weightwatchers). They are stretchy so will fit your waist and legs perfectly all the way down.
I quite like that these are typical leopard print colouring because when it goes to colours such as pink and blue - it begins to look tacky! I find that because they are more golden brown tones its easy to match them with other items of clothing. I tend to wear mine with white, black, brown or sometimes bright colour but it really depends on your style.
The leggings fit from your belly button (can be folded lower) and they fit to my ankles. I am only 5'3 so this could be part of the reason they are so long but I am sure due to the stretch they will fit taller people the same.
After trying the leggings out with different outfits, I realised that they are perfect for evening or day wear. Black, tan or cream heels look gorgeous with the leggings and a cream blouse or any top of your choice. They also look good with boots and a baggy jumper during the day. They are definitely one of my staple pieces.
I have obviously washed and worn my many times now and they haven't bobbled at all. They have a tiny rip at the bottom of one leg but this was because I snagged them on a bench over the summer. I love how soft they are and how they mould to the leg perfectly - they don't even go baggy on your knees which is a bonus! To wash the leggings put them on a 40 degree wash and then air dry. I would say to use the tumble dryer but this often shrinks my clothing and I currently don't own one so mine go on a clothes horse.
Patterned leggings are becoming easier to find now and there are so many styles available. If you're in love with your plain coloured leggings then you definitely need to give these a go.
Available in sizes 6-16.
I have to admit, I am not the most 'normal' when it comes to fashion. I like to stand out with my own quirky styles. Despite it being quite chavvy, I adore leopard print, so when I saw these in Topshop - I couldn't resist.
Costing £20 (from Topshop as I mentioned above) they are quite expensive for a pair of leggings, but providing you wash them the correct way and don't wear them to the local playground, they will last a long time. I have had mine for a couple of months now and they are good as new. Obviously you would not wear these as much as you wear plain black leggings.
I love the fact that these are typical leopard print, not a funky colour. I don't really like all of the pink, blue, green leopard prints. As these are brown, cream and black it is easier to find clothes to match with them. I tend to match them with a black or white top but recently there are more brown coloured tops which go with the leggings. You could also wear them with a skirt/shorts or a long top - its really up to you to add your individual style.
As I do a fashion course, I do wear them into college but I feel they are suited more towards a day shopping or a night out. If you feel brave enough then you could wear them to the supermarket (although I only wear my tracksuit bottoms there).
Usually, I don't like patterned leggings as I find them to be a bit cheap looking or strange, but these are perfect. They are really good quality and thick so they are perfect in winter (obviously jeans would be more favoured). I love the fact they didn't bobble easily! My main issue with leggings is that they can also become baggy after a couple of wears or they stretch so you can see your underwear through - most unattractive thing ever. I have to say, these have not stretched or gone baggy yet and still look good as new!
I am not sure whether Topshop still sells these, you might be able to find them in the store or online sale. They are available in size 6-16. I found that they are quite size appropriate so as a size 8, I didn't need to buy a size 6 or 10 like in some brands like River Island. I did have to try them on though as the waist looked a little big for me, but a size 6 made the pattern too stretched which did not look good - they just made me look bigger than I really am.
The leggings go from your waist (above belly button) and fit down to your ankles, so they cannot be tucked under your heel. They are elasticated and it seems to be quite good elastic so it won't stretch or break easily, I tend to roll mine down to my hips as it feels more comfortable to me but its up to you.
To wash your leggings they need to go on a 40degree wash maximum, they are allowed in the tumble dryer but I don't use mine as I find it makes clothes out of shape.
If I was to have the option to buy these again, I probably would. They are comfortable, warm in cooler weather and don't go out of shape. I love how they let me be a little creative and have my own style - following the crowd gets boring!
I bought these at the beginning of June after one of my friends bought a pair of pineapple leggings (look better then they sound!), and then another friend bought some zebra leggings and countless others bought patterned and textured leggings - it's clear that printed leggings are in season! They are from Topshop and are £20 which is expensive but all Topshop items in my experience have been good quality and lasted well.
The colour of these are in a very realistic leapord print colour - alot of other leapord print leggings seem to be an ugly neon orange or yellow, where as these are much more subtle and are more of a browny cream with very realistic leapord spots on them which are black and brown. I love the design of them as they are really unusual looking but not to the extent where people stop and stare! These aren't the most versatile pair of leggings because they are suited more to nights out or casual days rather than for university etc, but matching them with an outfit isn't hard. I usually wear mine either on there own with a long vest/jumper, or underneath hotpants, it really brightens and outfit up and adds chracter. Because they're footless they look good with heels.
The pattern is really bold. Sometimes with patterned leggings when they are on the pattern stretches and goes a little sheer but these don't, they display the pattern and colour really well. The leggings are ankle length and footless and fit really well. I have had no issues with them been too baggy around my knees or ankles like I do with some leggings. They are easy to put on and are comfortable. The waistband is elasticated but not over elasticated like some leggings seem to be. The leggings are soft and comfy, they're 96% polyester and 4% elastane. I've had mine for a month or so now and washed them in the washing machine 2/3 times. The colour has not faded, they haven't bobbled and the material is still nice and smooth/soft.
The leggings are available in sizes 6 to 16. I got a size 8 which is my actual size, and they're very true to size and fit well so I would get your actual size rather than a size bigger/smaller. I would definetly advise against getting a size smaller as because of the pattern it's important not to stretch them out. Like all leggings, they are skin tight and show off lumps and bumps so I would definetly advise not to buy these if you are body concious, as they also draw attention to the legs, although they are admittedly quite flattering as I suppose they are quite distracting.
Overall a nice pair of leggings which look and feel good.
I recently got these in a swap shop with my best friend, she brought them from Topshop, but she didn't really like them, and as I am a huge leopard print fan, I just had to have them! Although I was abit worried about wearing skin tight leggings as I have big legs, and was worried I would look stupid, but I had to at least try them!
The leggings are made from 96% polyester and 4% elastane, which is mainly on the waistband, but there are parts of the legs that also have elastane in, which enables the legs to be stretched according to your legs, but they aren't as starchy as other leggings, so defiantly try before you buy a size. There is stitching around the ankles and the waistband, which is a black colour. There is one seam on the inside of the leg, which isn't that obvious when they are worn and the seam is more invisible compared to other leggings, and it looks very professional. The leggings are ankle ones, which I perfer as knee length leggings are really unflattering for me.
The colour of the leggings is slightly more darker then other leopard print clothes, with the actual print, being much darker then other prints, but it works very well together. The print is quite large, which makes it obvious that it is leopard print, with smaller prints being subtle, so it might not be to everyone's tastes, as lot of women won't wear leopard print patterns.
The slightly darker colour is much easier to wear, as it looks really nice with both black and white, but all leopard print is difficult to wear, so I just stick to wearing it under long black tops, and I confess I do wear these as trousers, which is seen as a massive fashion crime, but they are so easy to wear as trousers! Wearing the leggings were really comfy, just so easy to wear everyday and even lounge in the house with, but the leggings are easier to wear for a night out too, as they add a stylish slant on an outfit. The leggings are very skin tight, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone how is self conscious about their legs, but they do suit most figures, and even though I have big legs, they do look good, and don't make them look any bigger, thankfully! The only problem I had was begin 5ft, the leggings were a little long for me and they didn't have any in the petite section, so if you're petite they might not be for you.
I would highly recommend the Topshop leopard print leggings are they are really stylish, and suitable for both day and night wear, but also they are really comfy to wear everyday! The leggings are also long lasting, great value for money, which is great compared to cheaper leggings which break really quickly in the wash. If you love leopard print you will love these!
Topshop Leopard Print leggings are available in Topshop stores and online (www.topshop.com) and costs £20. The leggings come in sizes 6-16.

WWE: Chris Jericho and CM Punk Feud Makes for Great StorytellingApril 30, 2012
Call me a Jericho-holic.
I ended up realizing how great of a professional wrestler Chris Jericho had been when he came back to the WWE in 2007. His returning promo against Randy Orton got me excited.
His endless charisma, his in-ring talent, are arguably unrivaled. In the WWE, he's probably one of the "ring generals" of promotion.
As a wrestler, he's one of the best in the world.
Chris Jericho has captivated me all too well. I've been bitten by the Y2J bug. You can expect me to chant "Y2J! Y2J!" while raising my fat, pudgy fingers in the air.
And I've never hated him more than I do now.
The storyline surrounding the WWE championship has been that of Jericho feuding with the current champion, CM Punk.
Since the end of the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, the two have been at odds. Both men have been staking their claim at both the WWE title and the right to be called "The Best in the World."
CM Punk had been slowly building himself into one of the cornerstones of the WWE. One can argue that he's gotten enough popularity to become the face of the industry.
Chris Jericho had a problem with that.
For two straight weeks back in April, Jericho verbally pummeled Punk in public, daring to say that Punk was going to become an alcoholic like his father—then added insult to injury by dousing his rival with beer inside the ring.
In this click-of-a-mouse age in which every fan seemingly know the ins and outs of the wrestling industry, Jericho is still able to make you hate him.
Jericho may be getting the best of the champion at this point. While it may not have as much star power as the Cena-Lesnar rivalry, the Jericho-Punk feud might be the best in the WWE right now.
For fans of the WWE, great storytelling still matters; this ongoing confrontation certainly has the storytelling quality that sports entertainment fans crave so much.
Jericho and Punk. These two haven't disappointed. Let's hope this great rivalry has one more match in it.

Buzz for Beloit International Film Festival may be paying off
Stan Stricker
Monday, February 13, 2012
Beloit International Film Festival Assistant Director Brittnay Wittnebel says a last minute addition to the line-up could attract more visitors.
Wittnebel says a film from MPower Studios and Executive Producer Diane Hendricks will be shown Friday afternoon at the Luxury 10 Cinema in Beloit. This is considered special for a couple of reasons. The venue is larger than most, and the film "Machine Gun Preacher" stars Gerard Butler, best known for his work in the Hollywood blockbuster "300".
Wittnebel adds advanced sales are doing well, already exceeding last year at this time. BIFF runs Thursday through Sunday.

Discussion in 'Pros' Racquets and Gear' started by dgoran, Mar 4, 2011.
Is it Mid or MP?
It looked like max 93" head size. So it could be YP Mid or some pro stock version. Would be very logical since I remember him playing with Yonex RDX-500 Mid (90" head size)
He played with PJ'd PC600's earlier in his career and he even had Völkl's at some stage in his career. My guess would be PC600 under the PJ.
It's totally a donnay pure roddick extreme.
It looks like a Yonex under the PJ. I thought PIM PIM retired, anyway.
No kidding!!!
What a traitor!
He played the Challenger in Bergamo with the Yonex RDX 500 and now with HEAD?
It may as well be Sod's racket, since they trained together for the DC and who knows if He didn't have enough rackets??
He recently tweeted that yonex sticks were for girls ands trolls. That may explain the switch.
hahaha, good one, but you still can't play them, due to technique level, stick with Babocrap or Dumblop, they are made for beginners, LOL.
I actually switched to a Wilson I saw in Wal Mart. It has Federer on the cover and says he uses it, so it must be good. It is also very light, so I know I will be able to hit just like him now. Best part is that it was only $35...who knew such quality was so inexpensive. I feel bad for you spending all your money like that on Yonsux when you could have this GROAT that I wield everyday now.
I think i'll get a couple since Wal-Mart can't sell Yonex due to its high class status.
But Yo nex boy.
Walmart has a new policy where you must present your USTA card with a rating over 4.5 to even look at the Wilson GROAT. So make sure you bring that with you because it's a long ride home to get it.
It is a head racket 18x20, I saw some pictures on DC web.
I hope He comes back and play some more years.
He fired a 150 mph ace today in the middle of his 33.
He's been one of my fav players for a long time, too bad He had so many injuries, other wise He would've won multiple majors and Yonex wouldn't have discontinued the 90 in frames
Yes, but his "RDX 500 mid" may have been completely different from the retail one. At least it had 18x20 strings instead of 16x18.
He is using HEAD PTwhatever 18x20. You can see the CAP Grommets...
He may have used the Yonex RD Ti 70 88in which had 18x20, same used by Krajicek at one point.
Pim Pim had used the RDX500 with 18x20 drill pattern while with Yonex. Pim Pim is back to his trusty Prestige Classic 600.
Let's play a match. Please.
Technically, the actual traitorous act may have been his previous switch to Yonex, since he used the Head Prestige Classic 600 in the pic BEFORE he used the RDX 500
Of course I wasn't serious, but I am just glad He is back, he and Fed were my favorite players back then.
Separate names with a comma.
