When asked why he thought Reproductions won this year for best photo lab, Robert Browne, general manager of the Los Angeles office, attributed it to the company's unique product: MasterPhoto/Heavy. Unlike thin, traditional lithos, Reproductions prints headshots on heavyweight photographic print paper that enables actors to print their résumés on the reverse side with home inkjet printers rather than having to staple them to the back. "Photographic quality is much better [than lithographs], so that's why we developed that product, and we are the exclusive source for that in both Los Angeles and New York," says Browne.
Lithographs are printed on a printing press with four colors of ink in a dot pattern. Because of the limitations of the four colors when printing in color, the quality of the image must be compressed for the four colors to produce millions of tones. "It's much easier for a photographic reproduction to capture that," says Browne. "You don't get any dot patterns. The imaging quality is much better, and it's just a better overall product. It's more costly from a material point of view, but nowadays actors are ordering fewer headshots in general than they were several years ago. They don't need to be sending them out all the time."
Conventional photographic paper is thin and usually contains a manufacturer's watermark, so actors can't print their résumés on the back. "With our prints, anybody can, with a home inkjet printer, print their résumés on the back in the quantity that they need," says Browne. "It's a pretty good product."
The bicoastal business had so much success offering the MasterPhoto/Heavy prints that it recently discontinued the use of lithographic printing. "We found that the product that we had with the MasterPhoto/Heavy was superior in every way. It gave people the heavier weight of the litho paper but with much better imaging quality," says Browne. "So we decided to concentrate on the best imaging quality to give people."
Other services offered by Reproductions include online proofing, so actors can see the images from their shoot and select their favorites, and retouching.
Runners-up: Argentum Photo Lab, Isgo Lepejian, Prints Charm'n, Ray the Retoucher

Yesterday, Carson brought Surfer Stephen and me into the studio to get an opinion on a video he found on YouTube.
Little did he know it would start another morning show debate!
So what was the hot issue? We're arguing over pop song covers: hot or not?
Here's the video in question. It was posted back in 2008, but Carson only recently came upon this violinist covering the [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Gnarls Barkley[/lastfm] hit, "Crazy."
Would you turn around your big red chair for this guy?
Carson and I thought it was a pretty awesome version and we agreed getting music like that out in the world only promotes the arts.
But of course, Surfer Stephen had to rain on our parade!
He said classical instrument covers of pop songs are so overdone and boring. Furthermore, he argued that "Crazy" wasn't a good song to show off that violinist's talents!
Oh no he didn't!
Take a listen to our debate:
- Who are you siding with: Carson and me or Surfer Stephen? Vote in the poll below!

A Data Driven Virtual Portfolio for Investors
Thalith Nasir
This project involves the design and implementation of a web based portal for investors. The portal will allow individual investors to register, login to the system, create and manage their portfolios. They will be able to create custom portfolios, add various quantities of stocks to their portfolio and monitor the portfolio's progress with the use of charts and other key statistics such the alpha, beta, gain/loss reports and performance charts. The portal will act as a virtual portfolio and allow the investor to experiment with 'virtual' funds. Funds can be unlimited (stocks can be bought and sold at will) or be preset to an actual budget. The portal will attempt to minimize the effort needed in order to manage a simulated portfolio. It aims to allow investors to quickly register, login and begin creating portfolios, adding stocks to them, viewing graphical price histories and performing simple analysis in the shortest possible time.

The OAT of ART
This is the second part of a small series of articles about the newest Android Version: Kitkat, that I wrote at inovex GmbH. In this part we will take a closer look at the new fileformat: OAT of the ART runtime and have a brief look at the garbage collection Diggin deeper: OAT file analysis. So far we found out that the system runs a kind of compilation on the device itself. It converts not only the apps but also huge parts of the android framework to oat files.

Over the years the Western Australian goldfields have produced some spectacular gold nuggets, which have given rise to some spectacular names, like the 'Golden Eagle'. The largest gold nugget ever found in W.A.
Even the place near where this huge golden deposit was discovered has a spectacular name... Widgimooltha.
When visiting the Kalgoorlie Museum you get the chance to view a replica of the Golden Eagle. This 35.5 kilo nugget (which was naturally shaped like an eagle with outspread wings, hence it's name) was uncovered by a 16 year old lad called Jim Larcombe, back in January 1931 on his father's claim at Larkinville, near where the current Widgimooltha Roadhouse is located (about 64kms south of Coolgardie).
The discovery of the 'Golden Eagle' symbolised hope for Western Australians at a time when there was very little. In 1931 Australia was in the second year of a major worldwide depression and tens of thousands of Western Australians were out of work. Their outlook was bleak.
When young Jim Larcombe struck that huge gold nugget with his pick, it created great excitement for everyone. It made many people believe there was hope. It lifted their spirits. The finding of the 'Golden Eagle' boosted the gold rush once again and spurred on a new generation of Australians into seeing a future in gold mining.
The 'Golden Eagle' was sold to the State Government for £5,438. In December 1931, at the height of the Depression, it was melted down to realise funds for the State.
Did you know, that a single ounce of gold can be beaten into a thin leaf 3 metres square, or drawn out into a wire 80kms long and just 5 microns (5millionths of a metre) thick? Just imagine how far the wire of the whole 'Golden Eagle' could have reached!
Even today, there are some that remember the grand celebrations surrounding the discovery of the 'Golden Eagle'. I was fortunate enough to meet the family of the man, who as a baby, was photographed with it, for the newspapers at the time. The nugget was bigger than he was!
The 'Golden Eagle' find was a major event which helped in the continued growth of the gold mining industry (not just here, but all over Australia) which even today, continues to contribute so much to our nations growth and prosperity.

Much like last year, offense has rarely been a problem for Athens Christian this season. But the Eagles' defense is at the top of coach Ron Link's list of concerns.
"Our defense hasn't been playing really well," Link said. "We are one of the worst defensive teams in our league."
The Eagles are scoring an average of 70 points per game, including a combined 177 points in their last two games. But coming into Tuesday's game against Prince Avenue Christian, they were allowing an average of 63 points per game. That is the fourth-highest average in Region 8-A.
With 11 region games left in the regular season, Link finally saw some promise in his defense Tuesday night as they held Prince Avenue to its lowest total of the season in an 80-35 win. That game also marked the best defensive performance of the season for the Eagles.
"(Tuesday) we really played good defense," Link said. "If we can play a whole game defensively, we'll really be good. Offensively, we have a couple of shooters and people have been backing off, letting us shoot."
Athens Christian's biggest asset on defense is Zach Lillie, a 6-foot-7 sophomore guard, who came into Tuesday's game averaging 7.7 blocks per game, the highest average in Class A.
On Friday, the Eagles will host Athens Academy - a team that challenged Athens Christian for the Region 8-A title last year. The Eagles have won the last three contests against the Spartans by an average of six points.
Athens Academy is having an uncharacteristic bad start to the season at 2-9 overall and 1-3 in Region 8-A. The Spartans' lone region win came against Prince Avenue on Jan. 5.
Rankings remain
No local teams moved in the Associated Press Top 10 this week. The Clarke Central boys remain the highest ranked team in the area at No. 6 in Class AAAA, even after a loss to No. 1 Rockdale County on Jan. 9.
Athens Christian stayed at No. 9 after playing just one game last week - a 97-57 win over Hebron Christian. After beating rival Oconee County, the North Oconee girls remained at No. 10 in Class AA.
Big game in 8-AAAA
Two of the top three teams in Region 8-AAAA North will face off on Friday for this first time this season.
Winder-Barrow (10-3, 4-2) will host Clarke Central (9-2, 4-1) for a shot at the top spot in the subregion. Madison County (13-3, 5-2) beat Winder-Barrow on Tuesday and is also very much in the discussion for the subregion's No. 1 spot.
Clarke Central has lost its last six meetings with the Bulldoggs, falling twice to Winder-Barrow by a combined eight points. The Gladiators are led by senior forward Babatunde Olumyiwa, who scored 22 points and recorded 13 rebounds in the team's loss to top-ranked Rockdale County on Saturday.
The Bulldoggs are scoring just 57 points per game, but are only giving up 49 points per game and have allowed only two teams to score more than 60 points this season.

Buying a gift for a woman can be tricky. While selecting a present for Mom or a sister might be a slam-dunk, what about the other women who play a role in your life?
Whether it's for a girlfriend, wife, aunt, colleague or BFF, Christmas gifts are more meaningful when they are personal.
If mind reading is not your skill, listen for subtle hints or reminders. Did she remark that she likes a particular fashion trend? Has she mentioned that a favorite item is broken? Did she comment that she needs to buy an updated piece of sports equipment or a tech device?
She may even clearly state, "I really have to buy that."
Is she a high-powered businesswoman or busy soccer mom with too much to do in too little time? Maybe she is a closet techie who's always at the front of the line to purchase the newest device. Or perhaps she loves to have friends over and puts parties on the calendar a year in advance.
When every gift idea has been exhausted, there's still one other option. Take the direct route and just ask her. Most women know exactly what they want for Christmas and won't hesitate to tell you. Then go to the store and buy exactly that.
One thing is certain, previous years' hard-and-fast rules of gift giving no longer hold true. In bygone days, a pricey perfume or elegant lingerie could be counted on to please her. Today, not so much.
While once it was taboo to give a woman any item that plugged in, today it's just the opposite. High-tech electronics lead the Christmas lists of many women. What's most important is that the gift shows thought.
After all, there is one rule that still holds: When the woman in your life is happy, everybody's happy.
Scroll through the photos to see all the gift ideas.

One bid in Coaldale
Barry Navarre of Orefield, Lehigh County, inspects a light fixture before the auction of Costello's restaurant in Coaldale on Saturday.
A West Penn Township tavern owner on Saturday offered the sole bid $30,000 for the landmark Costello's restaurant at 100 E. High St., Coaldale.
Bob Carnes, who owns the Clamtown Tavern, offered the sole bid for the restaurant at an auction held Saturday. But Carnes as of early Wednesday had yet to hear whether the Costello family would accept the bid.
Efforts to reach Costello family members were unsuccessful.
If they do accept his bid, Carnes said, he'll keep the restaurant and its bar open, and would even consider keeping the Costello name, if the family agrees.
"I'm very excited, very happy, if this goes through," Carnes said. He said he would transfer the liquor license first thing in order to open the bar immediately.
Carnes on Saturday bought most of the restaurant's equipment, furniture and supplies.
Some of the items, including fryers, grills and broilers, will be used for the Clamtown Tavern's new restaurant, set to open Thursday.
"I didn't go there to buy the building. I went there to buy equipment for my restaurant," he said. "But I love the history of the place, and I have the background and the people to make it happen."
Among the items Carnes bought for pennies on the dollar were boxes of Costello's menus.
"Their menu is very, very similar to ours," he said. Both feature fresh cut steaks and seafood.
He's owned the Clamtown Tavern for three years and seven months, he said.
Carnes said that if he does become the new owner, he has no immediate plans to change anything at Costello's.
"The place is gorgeous," he said.
Arner Auctioneers offered the restaurant at noon Saturday, near the end of the sale, which began at 9 a.m. The auction drew a good crowd, some of whom were clearly in the restaurant business and bid hard for the boxes of dishes, utensils, stock pots, baking pans, table candles, servers, warming trays, coffee makers and other equipment.
The bidding for the restaurant itself started at $250,000. With no offers, the price quickly plummeted to $40,000. That's when Carnes, who stood surrounded by cardboard boxes of cups and saucers, pots and pans, offered the $30,000.
On May 21, Arner's auctioned off the contents of the apartments above the restaurant, where Stanley Costello Sr. and his wife Ann, lived. At that auction, Carnes bought the original cash register, built for restaurant founder Joseph Costello, on April 17, 1926.
The restaurant took root when Stanley Costello Sr.'s father, Joseph, bought the property in the early 1920s, intending to turn it into a bar. But Joseph Costello died in 1932, a year before prohibition ended. Anna Costello, with seven children to support and determined to fulfill her late husband's dream, applied for a liquor license.
Eventually, her son Stanley Jr., an outgoing and musically gifted young man who played the violin for his customers, took over the tavern. He expanded the bar in 1948, and two years later, opened the restaurant, which became famous for its seafood and was the popular venue for wedding receptions and other gatherings.
Ann Costello died in 1962. Stanley Sr., now in his early 90s, lives in a local care home. The restaurant operation was passed on to Stanley Jr. and his wife, Angela, who was the restaurant's president, stockholder, director and secretary, according to Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board records.
Costello's closed early this year.

I have been "lurking" on SI for the last 4 months - since DDay#1. Yesterday was DDay#2 and I can't be a lurker anymore. I need help.
If my chronology of events is confusing and jumps around, I apologize.
BS and I have been married just short of 20 years. I have had two affairs since being married - one back in the late 90's and the other just ended in October. Both OW were "friends" of my BS. Both were LTAs.
The first affair was back early in our marriage. When I look back on that time, I can find a million excuses for doing what I did, but I know now that none of them hold an ounce of water. They were all justifications for my broken and destructive and despicable behavior. That affair ended in 1999 and although we never had a "Dday" about the affair, my BS knew something was up because the OW asked her if she could have me! BS also found a mix tape of lovey dovey songs in my car that the OW had made me. I actually thought all these years that BS had pieced it all together and simply figured that as long as it was over she didn't want the details. I see now that I was wrong and I made that my justification for not confessing. I should mention also that this affair went on while my BS was pregnant with our first born. Yes I am that disgusting.
Fast forward a dozen years. In that time, our marriage had its ups and downs. We both have high stress jobs that demand our time and energy. Truthfully, it was more good than bad though. We found work stability, settled into a nice home in a nice neighborhood, and were blessed with an unexpected daughter after years of trying with no success.
Then I did it again. Again with a neighbor and a friend. This affair lasted 2 years until BS caught me. This truly was a DDay. In those first hours after discovery, I confessed about OW#1 to OW#2. Within that first day I knew I wanted and needed to save my marriage and that the affair was over. The turning point was when BS told me she loved me and wanted to work it out. My eyes were opened to all the pain I caused and I will never forget the destroyed look on my wife's face. My Type A self stayed up all night reading (on here and other sites) and I immediately broke it off and went no-contact. I promised to do everything to fix us. I started IC and am more than wiling to do MC (thusfar BS has not wanted to). I have approached her with the possibility of a marriage workshop/retreat/weekend. I have apologized and feel true remorse. I have worked and worked on myself and am getting to issues regarding my need for affirmation and my broken self. In the initial couple of weeks I did a lot of TT but since then did my best to answer questions.
The last four months have actually been amazing. We reconnected in a stronger way than ever. On Valentine's Day, I made a nice family meal and gave her a letter telling her how thankful I am for her saving our marriage, saving our family, saving me. She then handed me a card that said simply and powerfully "I forgive you" - and I wept in her arms.
The one thing I didn't do was tell the whole truth about affair #1.
Early after DDay, BS asked me about OW#1 and what really happened. It was then that I realized she had NOT pieced it all together and that she didn't know it was a full blown sexual affair. And I lied. I told her it was just kissing and an emotional affair.
Many times over the last 4 months I have wished to be able to tell her. But I am a coward. I convinced myself it was "ancient history" blah blah blah.
Last weekend BS made a surprise visit to OW#2 (the recent affair). OW#2 couldn't have been crueler to her. They had been close friends. She didn't let her in the door, didn't apologize (said she had already - meaning a 6 word text message), and just said she didn't want to talk about it and had "moved on." She also dropped hints about my first affair. This led to more questions that night (last week) to me from BS about that old affair. And I lied again.
But I couldn't keep it up. Since then I have not been able to look BS in the eye. We went to a play where infidelity was the big theme (didn't know that before) and that night she said she was going to want some answers regarding OW#1.
I couldn't lie anymore. I finally realized and truly felt what has been said on this forum so many times - SHE DESERVES THE TRUTH. Even if it meant the end of us, she deserves to make that decision - not me. Yesterday afternoon I confessed. And it destroyed her all over again.
She yelled at me, punched and kicked me, threw things at me. She was going to leave but ended up staying (I am again in the spare room). She told me I was a piece of shit and a monster. I agreed. I am.
I truly am trying to get better - to be better. I have been going to IC since DDay#1, doing lots of reading, and talking to BS about my thoughts. Four months ago I was not the person who could have told her about OW#1. Yesterday I knew I had to.
I know I might lose her forever. I know I don't deserve her. I am sick inside with grief and remorse.
Also, I always wondered what my AP would do if there was a DDay. He always said that he would tell his wife he was in love with me. But I never believed him. I think 99.9% of men do what you did - dump the OW and never talk to her again. Did the OW mean anything to you? How could you have been with her so long if she meant nothing to you??? I assume I meant nothing to my AP. That actually helps me.
I am sorry for your pain. I am sorry for your wife's pain. Everything is out in the open now, but I think it is the long term deception that she will not be able to get over. It probably seems like her whole marriage was a lie.
Hang in there. I hear many stories of couples in places like yours who survive.
Welcome to SI. You have displayed a huge amount of courage over the last few days, full disclosure to your BW and your first post here. Well done, you are now on the right path.
You are doing all the right things, keep going. Be careful not to fall into the self loathing trap, you have done horrible things but don't let them define you. What matters most now is how you deal with the consequences of your actions. Be there for your wife.
Sending strength.
Chin up. Unwavering. Fight. We can do this.
Thank you for your response. I am too new at this to offer advice to you on whether or not you should tell your husband. For me, I finally realized that the secret wasn't mine to keep - that my wife deserved to know in trying to figure out if she should be with me. Selfishly, I also felt that any reconciliation would be false and tainted with ongoing (even though long past) deception.
Did the OW mean anything to you? How could you have been with her so long if she meant nothing to you???
Even if my marriage crumbles, I know that the OW is forever gone from my life. I never want to see her again and am horrified about how cruel she has been to my wife.
Thank you for your words of encouragement about possibly making it through this and surviving as a couple. I am trying to let go of that and simply do whatever it takes to help my wife heal. If that means being the best husband I can be I will be humbled and honored to have that chance. If it means being the best ex-husband I can be then that is the road that I will take.
It is hard though.
Thank you. It is hard not to self-loathe today. Truly hard. My wife has called me a monster and my 16 year old son won't look at me and wants to beat me up.
I know that these actions don't define me. That I am more than my affairs. I know that I have good in me and that I can be better and that I can be fixed and that life is overall a very good thing.
It's just really hard to feel it today.
But again, I need to stop the pity train. As bad as I feel today, my BS feels worse. I will do whatever she needs me to do.
I am trying every minute to stop being the coward I have been.
I don't understand, I wish I could. I don't understand how a man could be with someone for that long and have it not mean anything. That is just devastating to me.
My husband would be completely destroyed if he found out. I know FOR A FACT that he would never be able to move past it, and that we would get divorced. Our children would suffer. How can I tell him about something that happened four years ago that would cause so much pain and destruction to the people that I love most in the world?
Yes, I will have to carry this with me. But that is my burden and I deserve it.
As far as my husband deserving to know, I might have a little bit of a different perspective. My husband could have easily found out during the affair if he wanted to. We were having major problems. But he didn't want to know. And I'm certainly not telling him now.
You sound like you are truly remorseful, and that you are a caring man. Try to forgive yourself. Just give your wife time :)
Eleanor is my favorite name and the name of my baby girl (now almost 12!) Don't know if that is your real name but just sayin.
but I think it is the long term deception that she will not be able to get over.
Eleanor - To tell or not to tell is your choice. But 90% of the time these things do get found out. It might be 25+ years later as other members here can attest, but they come out. I became aware of an EA but a week later the OW sent an email that detailed a whole lot more - but it was written in a way that did not spell out it was physical. WH confessed to it being a PA immediately and that is the only reason I am considering reconciling. He could have gas lighted the crap out of me, but didn't. Respecting me enough to tell me the truth at that moment is what I fall back on when it gets tough.
So Monster, it will be a rough road ahead. We had one week between dday #1 and dday #2 and I admit my focus when I am upset is on that week and the lies. You have four months for her to sift through. But when I am looking for a light in a dark room I think about how he told me the painful truth when he didn't have to stop covering his ass. It is a small thing, but it is a thing I hold on to.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Thank you for responding. Yes she has 4 months to sift through. In some ways a false reconciliation - but we truly have been connecting more than almost ever before. In fact it is the beauty and healing I have experienced in the last four months that prompted me to come clean.
I fear she will look back on the time since DDay #1 as false and deceitful. In a very large way she would be correct. But it was also a time of hard work, amazing conversations, and incredible emotional intimacy.
With all respect to Eleanor, I was like her - I felt I should "protect us" from my dirty little secret and oh-so-nobly bear the burden for the two of us. What I was really doing was depriving her of the information and truth she needed to make the right decision for herself.
Not me.
My IC is in complete agreement with me, and she is very respected in her field. (I am lucky to live in a major city with great resources.) We have discussed this at length, and she believes disclosing is a self-destructive act.
I respect everyone's opinion on here. I see your point. But I don't think there is only one answer.
My IC is in complete agreement with me, and she is very respected in her field. (I am lucky to live in a major city with great resources.) We have discussed this at length, and she believes disclosing is a self-destructive act.
I understand what people are saying on here. So you think I should disclose this, four years later, and destroy my family? My now happy family? That I should do that to my innocent children?

It is hard not to self-loathe today. Truly hard. My wife has called me a monster and my 16 year old son won't look at me and wants to beat me up.
I think for the first...6 months or so...a hearty dose of guilty feelings is not so bad. Self-loathing is probably never productive, I mean, if you're a worthless monster then you might as well keep acting like one, right?
IMO punching and kicking is never acceptable, though, and *even women* shouldn't get a pass on that. Ever. If that happens again you might consider removing yourself from the situation until she calms down. For both your sakes. Yelling, name-calling...if she needs to vent her anger out at you, that is actually good. One of my favorite responses to verbal attacks (and even if it's valid & understandable, it's an attack) is, "Ouch." Then follow up with, "Even though it hurts when you call me a piece of shit, I can hear the hurt in your words. It's so hard to face the pain I caused you, and I'm so afraid of losing you, especially because I know it'd be my fault. I'll do anything you need, though, including standing here while you yell and swear at me and vent it all out."
That's obviously pretty eloquent to come up with on the spot. But you get the idea.
I doubt it will happen again but I agree if it does I should remove myself from the room.
Man, this is so sad to see. Your contrition seems so genuine. I wish this confession could've happened under better circumstances. But man, I hope you do everything you possibly can to save this! (And I hope she lets you try.)
As a Betrayed, I do believe strongly that it's better that your wife know the truth. It sucks that it came out this way, and you will have to work so much the harder to reestablish trust and demonstrate to your wife that genuine change has taken place in your own heart. I hope so much that this is true, and if so, that your wife will have the superhuman grace to extend forgiveness to you.
The most important thing for you to do right now is to TRULY CHANGE TO BECOME A BETTER MAN.
Some Waywards move heaven and earth to SHOW that they can do it, yet don't really fully confront their need to become a better spouse than they were. Such Waywards deceive their vulnerable Betrayeds with an onslaught of uncharacteristically generous, unselfish gestures-- and yet remain, in their hearts much as they were before. They are thus more likely to stray again, after "Reconcilation" leads to a stabilized marriage.
Please don't let this be you, if your wife gives you another chance. You seem sincere, and I hope you are, but there would nothing crueler than letting your current heightened sense of guilt not produce the growth within you that truly endures.
Except, maybe, had you never been caught at all. Kept it all secret. Decided you'd carry the "heavy burden" of your "guilt" yourself, so as not to "cause so much pain and destruction to the people that I love most in the world..." (...for today, anyway.)
Good luck, Monster62. I'm rooting for your change, and your marriage's Reconciliation.
No, Lord, she said.
And Jesus said, Neither do I. Go and sin no more.
Honestly when I review what I have done in my head I KNOW there is no chance for us. I have destroyed what could have been an amazing marriage and family.
As I get help, go to more IC, do more reading, and get mentally healthier, the horror of what I did becomes more and more acute. While in the affairs I had actually convinced myself that my wife wouldn't even care.
Now I know she cares so much that I have destroyed her and crushed her spirit.
Someone once described Hell as a place where you truly feel all the wrongs and hurt you have committed. Hell is real.
Thank you for the kind thoughts.
I am glad I got caught back in October. I like to believe that I would have ended it eventually but I can't even convince myself of that anymore.
Getting caught was the worst feeling in the world, but the only way I could ever start to get right with my wife, my family, and the world.
I hate that I had the affairs. I hate that person who could do that. But I'm glad I got caught.
Whether she can move forward with the information you shared or not, you shower tremendous respect and commitment to the relationship by voluntarily coming forward and revealing the rest. You demonstrated that you want toove forward with her alongside you without anything coming between you going forward. If she gives you another chance she can do it knowing you trusted her having the full truth, that you wanted to make sure no one had any more information or power over you, her or the relationship. I'm guessing that it will also help you to be more connected with her in the relationship without the fear of discovery later.
I'm not condoning or overlooking your behavior with the As, rather recognizing your strength, courage and commitment to relationship by allowing it to get to the depth of the pain to try and rebuild. I wish my WS would do the same.

Im a BS....and a man.....and I stand up...and applaud you for the courage it took to do what you did.
Everything is now out on the table and you have a chance to live a clean and unfettered life going forward. Never doubt for a second what you did was wrong in any way.....
Kudos and a fist bump

It's time to celebrate Verizon Wireless customers — soon you'll be able to get your hands on the best smartphone on the market.
Verizon confirmed that it will offer the HTC One later this summer in a tweet this afternoon. There aren't any other details yet, but it's nice to see some confirmation after months of speculation.
Verizon took its sweet time announcing that it would carry the phone — it's already available on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile's networks, and it was announced way back in February. The One shares a few design elements with the slightly larger Droid DNA, an HTC-built phone that Verizon launched last fall, so perhaps the carrier just wanted to give its older model a bit more time on the shelf.
The HTC One wowed me consistently in my review. Its metal design is sleek-yet-strong, it has a bunch of useful features (like stereo speakers and a great low-light camera), and it's incredibly fast. Most importantly, it was good enough to make me give up on the iPhone 5. That's saying a lot.
It's coming – the HTC One will be available on the #Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network later this summer #HTCOne @HTCUSA

THAILAND - Once again, Thai voters have come to a point where they have to decide if they should follow their heart or their head, or should even bother exercising their ballot if the election is held on February 2 as scheduled.
Of course, all Pheu Thai and its coalition supporters are clear - they will head for the ballot station to vote for their favourite parties and candidates.
But it's the anti-government protesters who are possibly confused about what they should do on that day. Some of them might follow protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban's previous edict that ballot stations should be blocked and those against this government should refuse to take part in all processes of the election. However, yesterday the anti-government People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) changed its stance, saying that its followers would not block the election but would continue protesting peacefully.
As for those groups that have realised that there are other ways to support Suthep, they will most probably go to the polling booth to cast a "no vote".
Last month, The Nation spoke to some protesters at the Rajdamnoen rally site about the February 2 election and discovered that they were divided into three groups: those who will cast a "no vote"; those who will spoil the ballot; and those who will not show up at all.
Those who favour the "no vote" option explained that they wanted to use their voting right to show their disapproval of the ruling Pheu Thai Party, which still enjoys strong support in the North and Northeast.
The "no vote" option is a clear indicator that a voter exercises his or her right by going to the polling station but declares: "I vote for nobody."
This option is very significant, especially for the upcoming election, even though it could be seen as supporting the caretaker government's stance that favours an election before national reform.

Observe Your Peers For Improving Classroom DisciplineMore Related Discussions

Hi Tina!
I love your post! I totally agree. As a nonprofit direct service provider, I learned much from working with other teachers on the subject matter of managing students. I think a strong network and a supportive teacher environment makes a huge difference for all teachers and students.
I agree with you that peers can help with classroom management. I also agree that a strong netwok of supportive teachers would be helpful. What do you do for classroom management?
When working with MS children/youth, I used game formats to teach math. For HS youth I used team projects. From my experience these methods I've seen a high-level of engagement. It's really exciting to see them working together and functioning to accomplish their goals and objectives. Also, I have always bounced ideas and various methods off of educators.
I agree 100%! The education profession is one that needs to be taken on with bit of humility. I can admit, sometimes it's hard to admit you need help. However, it's okay to "borrow a little inspiration" from those have been in battle before you.
My first year as a special education teacher I knew I had a lot to learn, and I thought classroom management wasn't one of them. However, I asked my principal if I could observe other teachers in their classrooms. She happily helped me arrange some observations and I learned more than than I thought I would. What I found was that everyone does things a little bit differently, and that's the great part. In each classroom I visited I was able to find "nuggets of wisdom" here and there that I was able to piece together into what ended up becoming my own style of classroom management.
I also encourage after school or lunchtime discussion groups. Invite the "experts" on your campus and have members (teachers) share areas of concern and the group discusses proactive (emphasis on proactive) strategies for managing the issues of concern. Everyone in the group can benefit from brainstorming and sharing of ideas. You also do not have to limit yourself to only classroom management and discipline.
There is truth to the saying, "some of the best ideas are stolen".
Observation can provide teachers with so much insight. I am interested in establishing an observation procedure into our school PLC groups. Not only could teachers benefit from observing various classroom management strategies but also they will learn about new instructional strategies. Do you feel that teachers need to build a trusting relationship before these observations, and if so, how did you make that happen at your school?
I have a student teacher right now. He has done a great job of picking up my classes and teaching them in a way that is similar. He assures me that this is how he envisions his own classroom. Still, I have arranged several observations with other great teachers in the school, and we have had a great time discussing some of the ideas he has gotten.
I observed several teachers (probably out of desperation!) during my first year, but now I am itching to do it again. Plus you can build peer relationships and strengthen other's teaching by giving positive feedback on your favorite parts!
I work with students with a variety of disabilities and often the best way to learn what strategies work with a student is to find out what class they enjoy the most and then observe them in that class, noting what strategies the teacher employs in the classroom. Often I have student teachers that I send to observe other classes so they can see our students interactions with other teachers.I think that we can and should use a variety of strategies with our students, but they work best when we build meaningful relationships with each student.If they feel ownership of their learning and want to be in the class the problems usually diminish.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 03, 2014
Mary Turner, MS, WHNP, is celebrating her 11-year anniversary at the Advanced Fertility Center of Texas. She joined the practice in 2003.
Turner specializes in infertility, gynecology, and hormone imbalances. Before joining the Center, she was a labor and delivery nurse at Memorial Hermann Medical Center. Prior to that, she was at MD Anderson Cancer Center as a research nurse in surgical oncology. She received a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin, and a master's degree from the University of Texas at Houston. She's currently pursuing a certification in functional medicine that will enable patients to be treated as a whole.
Besides her three other specialties, Turner also specializes in Polcystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder in women. There is currently no cure for PCOS, so managing symptoms are key. Early detection is also key as PCOS has been linked to developing several metabolic diseases such as diabetes and high cholesterol. Turner recommends routine checks every six months if a patient has PCOS, or even thinks they may have it. The check includes blood work, and an ultrasound. Advanced Fertility Center can help patients lower risk factors and symptoms associated with PCOS. There are not many places to go to get help with managing it, and Turner has a passion for helping patients stricken with it.
To make an appointment with Mary Turner, call 713-467-4488, ext. 40.
About the Center:
Advanced Fertility Center of Texas has several fertility treatment centers located throughout the Houston metropolitan area. They offer the most comprehensive, cutting-edge fertility services available.

ANAHEIM - The way it's being talked about, you'd think Kent Nilsson scored the decisive goal and Pat Riggin earned the victory between the pipes.
It hasn't been that long since the Calgary Flames scored a regular-season win in Anaheim.
It has been more than nine years, though, dating back to Jan. 19, 2004.
Martin Gelinas, now an assistant coach on Bob Hartley's staff, had the game-winner that night, with Craig Conroy registering four assists and Jarome Iginla scratched due to illness.
Roman Turek — remember him? — got credit for the 'W'.
The Flames will try to finally end their drought in Friday's meeting with the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center (8:30 p.m., Sportsnet West), their first stop on a three-game roadie that also includes back-to-back games against the Los Angeles Kings.

India launches anti-terror law
By the BBC's Jyotsna Singh in Delhi
A new anti-terrorism law is now in effect in India after President K R Narayanan signed the controversial Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance late on Wednesday evening.
Human rights groups as well as opposition parties have expressed strong reservations against the move, which they say violates citizens' fundamental rights.
The new legislation is intended to replace the controversial Terrorism and Disruptive Prevention Act (TADA), which was allowed to lapse by the government nearly five years ago.
TADA was widely criticised for its draconian powers and for discriminating against minorities.
Legislation soon
Indian Government spokesman Pramod Mahajan told reporters after a cabinet meeting that the Prevention of Terrorism Bill will also be introduced for approval in the next session of parliament which begins on 19 November.
However, since the president has already signed an ordinance, the proposed law is already in effect.
Mr Mahajan said the government wanted a consensus over the issue and was confident of achieving this.
One of the most controversial features of the new law is a clause which makes it a duty for all citizens to report any suspicious terrorist activity they notice.
It also empowers the police to arrest and keep in its custody for three months without filing any charges anyone suspected of involvement in terrorist activity.
Proscribed groups
Twenty-three organisations seen as encouraging terrorist activities have been outlawed in the ordinance.
These include a number of separatist groups active in Kashmir, such as Lashkar-e-Toyeba and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen.
Several rebel groups operating in Punjab and Assam have also been banned.
Human rights groups as well the opposition parties say such provisions will make people more vulnerable to harassment by the police.
But the government rejects these allegations.
According to the Junior Home Minister I D Swamy, a number of safeguards have been introduced in order to prevent its misuse.
These include:
The federal coalition headed by the National Democratic Alliance has been keen on a special anti-terrorism law for a long time.
The opposition parties accuse the government of seizing the present climate against terrorism to introduce an arbitrary measure.
The earlier anti-terrorism law, TADA, which was enacted in 1985, was allowed to lapse ten years later.
It came under attack for its misuse against the minorities, particularly during the Sikh separatist movement in the 1980's, the period following the destruction of a disputed mosque in Ayodhya, and after a series of bomb blasts in Bombay in 1993.
Although TADA no longer exists, hundreds of people arrested under the law continue to languish in various Indian prisons.

Bettman sets the bar for Bruins-Canadiens rematch
According to a TSN report, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman met with the general managers of the Bruins and Canadiens last week and told them he didn't want tonight's highly anticipated showdown to devolve into a mockery.
Players are naturally emphasizing the need for each team to focus on the points in the standings, not the points on hockeyfights.com.
But there's no denying the excitement is building to see how it all goes down tonight at the Garden.
Chris Gasper and Dan Shaughnessy discuss whether the Bruins need to win this one, or if they can absorb another loss to the Habs.
And here are links to our photo galleries from the last two games these teams have played:
March 8: Canadiens 4, Bruins 1 (the Chara-Pacioretty game)
Feb. 9: Bruins 8, Canadiens 6 (the 187 penalty minutes game)
Stay tuned to the Bruins Blog and Boston.com throughout the day and night for updates.

It was a homeless old man near a shoe store who fell asleep
He was so tired that nap turned to a sleep that was deep
A little boy walked passed with his mother and noticed that the old man had one shoe
He felt sad, "mother it's something I just got to do!"
That little boy face was full of tears
His little heart grew big because he cared
He grabbed both of his mother's hand and tightly grasped them leading her into prayer
After the short and quick prayer, "Mom I was just told to share."
He had ten dollars from his allowances that he saved for weeks
His mother didn't know what to say, she couldn't even speak
Immediately he rushed in the shoe store and asked the clerk how much was that one black wing tip shoe
The clerk had a big smile and said it was thirty-two
Every customer and fellow employee gave money to make the little boy prayer come true
Instead of thirty-two dollars he now had sixty four
He quickly grabbed the shoe box and ran out the door
The little boy shook the old man out of his sleep and gave him the box
When the old man woke up his eyes was full of tears and he was shocked
Big crocodile tears rolled down his face
He grabbed the little boy and gave him the tightest embrace
The old man yelled, "This is the best gift yet!"
Some say the old man got up and danced until the sun set
Mark 12:30-31 (NIV) Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'[a] 31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[b] There is no commandment greater than these."

We have been together
treasured joy now for many years
we trust each other with our
emotions, with affection, tears,
Any day when you are sick or hurting
I feel your pain - significant other,
when eighter-one needs attention
we help one another...
These mutual friendly feelings
for assistance, approval, support
form our tight bonds,
usually never broken
Sharing visions, time together
we respect each other,
regardless of shortcomings
I know you, "I love you anyway"

He was always so happy
strong and bold.
He'd give you the shirt off of his back.
He had a rough life
growing up through the depression,
but like he always does,
he got through it.
He has two boys, of whom he is so proud.
Moved from Regina, to Victoria.
He had the best life anyone his age could have wanted.
But ever since his wife died,
he has not been the same.
But like he has always done,
he got through it.
Mind slipping,
just a little forgetful.
That's how it always starts out...
But like always, he powered through it,
until now...
He is not the same person that I used to know.
He been sentenced to the prison in his own mind.
Possessed by the thoughts of his dogs ashes.
He likes to play the blame game,
but we know he doesn't remember that it was him.
He wakes up in the night
shaking with pain,
tears streaming down his face.
There is nothing we can do,
Oh well...
Two more tylenol.
Hold on to hope
for as long as you can,
It's only a matter of time now.
He gets vocal, a very loud tone.
He'll block you in your room
and make false accusations
But we know that it's the pain induced monster in him.
Tick tock, tick tock...
You can't handle the stress anymore
you have to leave.
Just hope for the best,
maybe it will get better.
Surprise, it doesn't.
Your denial is foolish, everyone knows
what happens next.

Here lies the best Grandfather,
One who was very considerate.
Remembering him as a child,
I would sit on his lap.
He was a rare person indeed.
He was a colonel in the Army.
Also superlative of a gentelman.
Here lies the best grandfather,
May he rest in peace.

My mother, my grandmother before has always held a place in my heart.
My father, and my grandfather before has the same part.
I was young and very active with unwillingness to listen fully to what they had to say.
I had a problem, never could be solved without my parents and grandparents till today.
With patience they all come to my aid when I fall on my face.
With little dishonor I listen to them and what they had to say, I embrace.
Over the years I go to them with no doubt a feeling of no dismay.
Over the years I go to them and they help me solve problems that to me is O.K.
Now I am getting a bit more aware of what had happen to me when I was growing.
Now I remember how the ride was in my beginning: it was a trial of not knowing.
With the guided words of my parents and grandparents I survive through them all.
With it some being a problem that I remember I recall.
My mother and my grandmother always said to be patient and it will be easy to solve.
My father and my grandfather always knew that I would grow and evolve.
I could wonder everyday what if my parents and grandparents was not in my life.
I could just think that would be fatal like a stab with a knife.
With knowledge that they had past on to me of what they had experience.
With their proof of teachings they had past on to me is their self existence.
Over the years I grew with life so full of happiness that was because of my families love.
Over the years it showed me the path that led me to all the above.
Now cherish those words that help me through my troubles in my new family.
Now I listen to my parents healing words of wisdom and except them gladly.

The moon shines so beautifully in her misery
Grace the world with thousand ribbons of silver rays.
There was a young man,
A pleasure slumber seeker
Eyes bares love and faith
The hands grip the dreams and expectations
Steppin definitely in spirit
To the unknown life ahead
Forty years have passed
Two young men sit together
One with gray hair and wrinkled face
Other, a fresh and naive young soul
A bond of flesh and blood
Talking about life and living
And the moon..? A loyal companion in solitude
For the happiness of every soul, she craves.

When someone shouted loudly
From somewhere down the hall
I dropped what I was doing
It almost made me fall
I took a long, deep breath
And started toward the noise
Grandpa had been visiting
And was working with the boys
Then the shout came once more
I could not believe my ears
"Grandpa's on the internet"
Multiplied my fears
This man had refused to learn
How to turn a computer on
And now he is on the internet
I was sure I heard it wrong
But As I turned the corner
And quietly peeked into the room
The vision which confronted me
Was anything but gloom
Grandpa was watching the monitor
As he pushed the mouse around
I stood and watched in disbelief
Trying not to make a sound
He hit the enter and shouted
"Where the heck am I now"
The boys were laughing so hard
they could hardly make a sound.
I watched for several minutes
Before he saw me there
Grandpa stopped what he was doing
And turned slowly in his chair
"What's the matter, can't you see
I'm busy with this box?
I'm finding friends I never knew
I'm seeing little locks"
"I'm moving this little arrow
Back and forth across the screen.
I can make the whole thing disappear
No longer to be seen".
"I see pictures taken long ago
And some from far away.
I ask and get an answer
And it doesn't take three days".
The look that was on his face
I thought was gone for good.
But now he was having fun again
I never thought he would.
For when he lost my mother
his world came to an end.
He sat in his recliner
His heart would never mend.
This new challenge in front of him
Had pulled him from his chair.
His mind had turned to other things
Traveling to who knows where.
It didn't really matter
Where he was or what he found
"Grandpa's on the internet"
Oh, what a lovely sound

They Left so Abruptly
(for the countless South Africans, of all colours, who dedicated their lives for freedom and democracy)
the valiant ones
many known
many more nameless
the truest sons and singers
husbands and poets
lovers and wives
daughters and farmers
workers and sisters
brothers and friends
they left so abruptly
with quiet pride
steely courage
gentle dignity
they left so abruptly
leaving us our tomorrows
filled with promise
they left so abruptly
so that we may breathe
the breath of liberty
the air of freedom
the warmth of justice
they left so abruptly
leaving with us their parting gift
they left so abruptly
yet we remember them all
in the days that slipped away
and in the many more that we await
they left so abruptly
yet they remain
hewed into our memories
etched in our consciences
engraved in our hearts
they left so abruptly
and yet they endure
with us
within us
now and forever more
Copyright © Scribbler Of Verses | Year Posted 2013
We've known each other for a while now
I think its fair to say
I haven't met anyone like you
not ever, not to this day
when our eyes really first met
something inside me began to stir
I was unsure what to make of it
so I shrugged it off without a care
weeks have passed by, our conversations keep flowing
like raindrops from above, the topics have no warning.
The more that we explore, the greater my yearn
to travel the footprints of thought
that leave tracks across your mind.
time flies fast, its almost a blur
we've know each other over a year now
and you have become a mama.
I've never seen you so happy
a miracle from above, I am sure..
I love how your eyes are smiling
This is a picture I adore.
it was at this point, when I looked into your eyes
that what bothered me before came back to life
the stirring within came out of the blue
it was then I realised it was fuelled by you.
still unsure what it was within
I just looked up and gave you a grin
Its 2 in the morning, I should be asleep
each time I close my eyes, its you I see.
For a second there is blackness, and everything is sound
then from nowhere, your face is found
My arms reach out, to hold you tight
to hold you close throughout the night
but like before, you were not there
so this again, I'm hugging air!
Finally, my brain gives up and sleeps
but still you find me in my dreams
but in my dreams your there with me
so this is now the place to be.
its time to wake up, I feel exhausted
my brain feels fried, there was no off switch.
All throughout the night, you and I danced away
under the moonlight, with the stars on display
upon cloud tops, high in the sky
where angels sit to watch you and I
Sorrow was what it took, for me to realise
what love was, and how it thrives
where it starts, how it feels
how it hurts, but how it thrills..
I feel like I could fly, this stuff is better than Red Bull
I've never been so high, the feeling is astronomical
and to think the reason why, I feel so invincible
Is because I looked into your eyes
and was touched by your soul..
I leave it to fate, to decide what will be,
to see if theres a future for you and me.
You are one of a kind, you are my friend.
I've never met anyone like you..
I dont think I will again!

For our Father, Nelson 'Madiba' Mandela
you are our eternal inspiration
our hopes
our dreams
our conscience
you gave everything of yourself
so that we may live and love and laugh and dream and breathe the air of freedom, dignity and liberty
you lead us through the darkest days with your unshakeable principles and your belief in us
you brought peace and freedom to us
and when at times we felt all was lost
you stayed with us as a father would
you lent us your wisdom
and you chastised us too
and we are here today because of you
you stayed with us, Nelson Rolihlala 'Madiba' Mandela, through all the crests and valleys of our turbulent times
you stayed with us, father
today, we hope and pray and wish
that you, our father Madiba
stay with us still
stay with us, Madiba
stay with us...
Where there is strength
you will find unity.
Let there be no more division.
May the grandfather spirits
place forgiveness in your hearts, and soften them
while pride moves out of the way.
May the blood you share become strong
and never again be poisoned by
un forgiveness and hate.
Can't you hear the songs
the warrior spirits are singing
about lost battles, broken families
and battle scars?
May their cries ring in your ears
reminding you
some warriors never come home
from their battles.
May the rains come down
on both of you and
wash away the war paint,
so you may recognize each other.
May the skies above thunder
as grandfather spirits dance
a dance of remembrance.
May your paths cross again
and the winds join together
what has long been separated.
May spirits of wisdom guide
both of you toward your destiny.
And may father time heal
all wounds.

For Madiba
as you continue the struggle some more, today for life...
'it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die' you said, all those years ago
as you stood in the dock awaiting the sentence of death
they locked you up instead
for 27 hard and long and arduous years
you stood firm
you never wavered
you gave hope to us all
and then when they could no longer keep up their unjust tyranny
you emerged into the light of freedom
your hand raised in a defiant fist in the february Cape Town air
- Amandla!
you then weaved and bobbed and fought some more, the boxer in you always present
you fought for peace in our land
for us all you fought
and then came that glorious day
when you were our president
and we laughed and we cried
and you fought for us even more
today you fight a different fight
for life, and we are helpless
we, who you fought for all along
have only hope and prayer and song and wishes of life for you
today, you fight some more
may you fight for life some more, Tata Madiba!
and may you prevail
for you are our father
and father, your children call out to you once more
with wishes
your children wish for you, to remain here with us some more
and though helpless your children may be
in this battle that you wage for life today
and though frail and old your body is
your indomitable spirit smiles that inimitable Madiba smile
your spirit resides in each of us
your loving children
You've guided me through
Both good times and bad
Many shared memories
Some happy, some sad.
You have watched me grow
From infant to man
For you're my idol
And I am your fan.
You've always listened
What I have to say
Offering me advice
Not leading astray.
Caring and loving
So gentle yet strong
Always beside me
Not steering me wrong.
Thank you for being
The man that you are.
If it weren't for you
I wouldn't go far.

Beautiful memories I have of you
Your instinct to protect the little ones
Those night when the pouring rain and thunder scared us,
you never left our side.
Your stories were like a vivid adventures and better than watching a movie.
Laughter and happiness filled the house.
How much we miss you Grandfather.
How much we miss your voice and seeing you.
Visiting you was better than a vacation else were.
The candy tasted better when you bought it for us.
You are like a hero to our eyes.
With you we had everything even if it was the humble way.
Grandfather you will always me in my heart and soul.
Never shall I forget your advice of wisdom and love.
Your eyes are open and vivid to me like it were yesterday
Your alive to me and time will never set us apart.

Born Declan Patrick MacManus, Elvis Costello was raised in London and Liverpool, grandson of a trumpet player on the White Star Line and son of a jazz musician who became a successful radio dance-band vocalist. Costello went into the family business and before he was twenty-four took the popular music world by storm.
Costello continues to add to one of the most intriguing and extensive songbooks of our day. His performances have taken him from strumming a cardboard guitar in his parents' front room to fronting a rock and roll band on our television screens and performing in the world's greatest concert halls in a wild variety of company. Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink describes how Costello's career has endured for almost four decades through a combination of dumb luck and animal cunning, even managing the occasional absurd episode of pop stardom.
This memoir, written entirely by Costello, offers his unique view of his unlikely and sometimes comical rise to international success, with diversions through the previously undocumented emotional foundations of some of his best-known songs and the hits of tomorrow. It features many stories and observations about his renowned cowriters and co-conspirators, though Costello also pauses along the way for considerations of the less appealing side of fame.
Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink provides readers with a master's catalogue of a lifetime of great music. Costello reveals the process behind writing and recording legendary albums like My Aim Is True, This Year's Model, Armed Forces, Almost Blue, Imperial Bedroom, and King of America. He tells the detailed stories, experiences, and emotions behind such beloved songs as "Alison," "Accidents Will Happen," "Watching the Detectives," "Oliver's Army," "Welcome to the Working Week," "Radio Radio," "Shipbuilding," and "Veronica," the last of which is one of a number of songs revealed to connect to the lives of the previous generations of his family.
Costello recounts his collaborations with George Jones, Chet Baker, and T Bone Burnett, and writes about Allen Toussaint's inspiring return to work after the disasters following Hurricane Katrina. He describes writing songs with Paul McCartney, the Brodsky Quartet, Burt Bacharach, and The Roots during moments of intense personal crisis and profound sorrow. He shares curious experiences in the company of The Clash, Tony Bennett, The Specials, Van Morrison, and Aretha Franklin; writing songs for Solomon Burke and Johnny Cash; and touring with Bob Dylan; along with his appreciation of the records of Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, David Ackles, and almost everything on the Tamla Motown label.
Costello chronicles his musical apprenticeship, a child's view of his father Ross MacManus' career on radio and in the dancehall; his own initial almost comical steps in folk clubs and cellar dive before his first sessions for Stiff Record, the formation of the Attractions, and his frenetic and ultimately notorious third U.S. tour. He takes readers behind the scenes of Top of the Pops and Saturday Night Live, and his own show, Spectacle, on which he hosted artists such as Lou Reed, Elton John, Levon Helm, Jesse Winchester, Bruce Springsteen, and President Bill Clinton.
The idiosyncratic memoir of a singular man, Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink is destined to be a classic.

Elvis Costello is a Grammy award-winning musician whose career spans almost four decades. A prolific singer-songwriter, Costello has released several critically-acclaimed albums, and in 2003 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Review:
"Some of the best writing – funny, strange, spiteful, anguished – we've ever had from an important musician." –Dwight Garner, The New York Times
"The book is fantastic - maybe the best about music by a musician that I've read.... The stuff about the collaborations alone - McCartney, Burt Bacharach, Allen Toussaint, the Roots, the Brodsky Quartet - is riveting." –Nick Hornby
"In a world littered with uneven (and largely ghosted) celebrity memoirs, "Disappearing Ink" is a beautifully written revelation. Dare I blaspheme by declaring I liked it even more than the excellent memoirs produced by Bob Dylan and Keith Richards? Costello embraces the basic qualities of good storytelling: the use of detail, tension and humor....The book is also a gold mine for Costello obsessives who have spent decades dissecting and analyzing his every lyrical zinger. But it's not just for fans, more "Angela's Ashes" than Motley Crue's "The Dirt." "Unfaithful Music" is a lyrical tale that stretches across generations, geography and a century of popular song. The book serves as both a musical and personal anthropology." –Geoff Edgers, The Washington Post
"Often brilliant and wholly idiosyncratic." –David Ulin, Los Angeles Times
"[Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink] is refreshingly free of salacious gossip and needless name-dropping; it's an intelligent self-assessment from a musician who went from angry young man to elder statesman of pop... It's an unexpected memoir from a musician whose creativity and brilliance changed pop rock forever." —Michael Schaub, NPR
"Revelatory, evocatively crafted, [and] highly entertaining." –David Fricke, Rolling Stone
"A winningly droll and good-natured guide to his life and many works throughout." –Entertainment Weekly
"Punctuated with sardonic and self-aware truths." –Pitchfork
"Just like his music, Unfaithful Music constantly defies expectations and the simple pleasures of faraway days. Written in a clipped, biting style, the book reads like Costello's greatest songs, equally lyrical and hard to pin down. It's a constantly illuminating, perpetually idiosyncratic read, fitting for a musician whose entire life has been one long reinvention.... For 670 brilliant pages, we're allowed to tag along with one of the greats, witnessing the unchanging beauty of a man who refuses to settle down on his quest of musical self-exploration—and we're all better off for it. " –Chicago Reader
"Vivid....It's not surprising that one of rock's most literate songwriters would pen such a deep, free-form memoir." –Houston Chronicle
"Elvis Costello delivers an impeccably detailed autobiography. He's often as brilliant at turning a phrase in prose as he is in his lyrics." –Paste Magazine
"Enthralling.... This is family history as musical encyclopedia, and to listen to Costello recount his life is to be buttonholed by an enthusiastic fan. Fandom for Costello is inseparable from the compulsion to write songs and, it seems, to understand his own life.... Fortunately for the fan of Costello's music the topic of discussion is often his own songs, and he is, unsurprisingly, a witty and eloquent guide." —Paul Grimstad, New Republic
"Long one of music's wittiest, smartest, and most perceptive lyricists, Costello has done his legacy proud with his new book, which, thankfully, goes far beyond his angry-young-man days, most movingly in its frequent reminiscences about the relationship between the singer and his musician father." —New York Magazine
"[Costello] pens books with the same clever writing that he uses in song." —Kathy Flanigan, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
"Costello['s] book is capacious, clever, and full of heart and soul." —Dan DeLuca, Philadelphia Inquirer
"The story unfolds like a movie that jumps across time, more thematic than chronological, as boyhood anecdotes and obsessions intersect with mature songs and adult reckoning.... The book doubles as a selective mini-history of 20th century music, as told by a discerning guide. He addresses artists both towering (Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Johnny Cash) and relatively unheralded (David Ackles, Robert Wyatt) with a fan's affection and music scholar's insight." –Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune
"With an encyclopedic knowledge and appreciation for, and deep love of, music, and with an expressive power and heart, Costello's memoir will take its place in the highest echelons of the genre." --Library Journal (starred review)
"This is a big book, literally, by one of the best rockers in the business. Given the singular, and eclectic, nature of his career, it is no surprise that Elvis Costello's anecdotal autobiography is an idiosyncratic journey through his music and the people and places that have inspired him...A must for Costello fans everywhere." --Booklist (starred review)
"Costello's prose cuts with the same spiky wit and observational power as his well-known lyrics...packed with great lines, vivid anecdotes...a treat for his many fans." —Kirkus Reviews
"Plenty of tales to keep the pages turning. Readers will be fascinated by Costello's stories...his book feels like a discussion between friends over a pint." —Publishers Weekly
"Costello is one the greatest writers of the 20th Century. It's funny, observant and clear of purpose." --Times
"By turns lachrymose, self-flagellating and impassioned. Unsurprisingly, it is beautifully written. It is also often extraordinarily moving." --Dan Cairns, Sunday Times
"Written elliptically, episodically beautiful ... this man's knowledge is breath-taking." --Observer
"Every page exudes his deep love and knowledge of modern music." --The Guardian
"His witty, word-playing voice transmits loud and clear....there are smart snapshots of vanished worlds...all his sins and virtues are displayed in this stylish, astute book." Victoria Segal, Sunday Times
"A truly weighty rock memoir ... There's plenty of insight into his art here, a smattering of gossip, a wealth of pop-cultural knowledge, and just enough self-flagellation to keep things interesting." --NME
"A series of wryly comic tales that surely deserve the full Penguin Classic treatment randomly afford Morrissey." --GQ
"One of the finest musical biographies I have ever read ... an engrossing and rewarding read." Keith Bruce, The Herald
"It really is stunning. Hugely illuminating, fiercely passionate, funny, moving and beautifully written." --Mark Billingham

The regular season of TOP 14 is finished, the table is frozen and Racing Metro 92 takes the 5th spot of the French championship. Qualified for the play-offs, the Racingmen will travel to Stade Ernest Wallon to challenge Stade Toulousain and potentially win their tickets for the semi-finals. (Credit photo : Julien Poupart // Attitude Rugby)
The average gain per carry won by a single Racingman during Racing Metro 92's win (25-5) against Stade Toulousain at the Stade de France, last January. A performance achieved by the Ciel et Blanc fly-half, Jonathan Sexton who made 67 meters towards the Toulouse in-goal, in 4 carries, or an average gain of 17 meters. Throughout the game, the Francilians won an average of 3.3 meters per carry.
On the other side, Arthur Bonneval was the Toulouse player who made the team's highest average gain, 7.6 meters per carry, out of 8 carries. The Red and Black team ended the game with an average gain of 2.7 meters.

Get Your Tickets to See 'Entertainer of The Year' George Strait in Concert
George Strait won the prestigious Entertainer of the Year Award at the 47th Annual CMA Awards in Nashville last night (11/6). It's a fitting award for a man who has given so much of his life to country music and it's fans. And with this upcoming year being his last concert tour of his career, it's seems somewhat bittersweet.Any country artist that was nominated for the same category shouldn't feel bad. I mean, if you are going to lose to someone might as well be George. In all respect to all the other artists in that category, they were just as deserving, but I think it's was George's time to win.
Now, I'm happy to say that King George is kicking off his final 2014 Cowboy Rides Away Tour at Centurylink Center in Bossier City, La. on January 9. George will bringing along fellow nominee and 2013 ACM Awards – Male Vocalist of the Year Jason Aldean to co-headline the show. I'm expecting this show to sellout fast, once tickets go on sale this Friday (11/8) at 10 a.m. at the Centurylink Box Office and online at ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available by calling 1-800-745-3000.
We just got word today (11/8) that George Strait is SOLD OUT for this show.
Check the Kicker VIP Club soon for your chance to win tickets to see George Strait!
Congratulations George!
Here's a quick recap of the CMA's from ABC.
Here's George Strait and Alan Jackson paying tribute to the late George Jones.

Marshawn Lynch back, but sits out
Lynch returns to camp after weeklong holdout, but just watches. He essentially got the same deal the Seahawks offered in May. Running backs coach Sherman Smith said Lynch will not see much action in exhibition games, something Lynch also did in 2013, rushing five times for 9 yards.
Seattle Times staff reporter
RENTON — Marshawn Lynch usually gobbles up yards in punishing chunks.
But for now, it is one patient step at a time for the Seahawks' star tailback.
Thursday, Lynch agreed to end a weeklong holdout and report to the team's training camp at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
Friday, he took to the field at the VMAC but was limited to watching from the sideline as teammates conducted a light 75-minute workout in preparation for a scrimmage Saturday afternoon.
Lynch figures to sit that out as the team eases him back into action. He has not participated in a practice with the team since before the Super Bowl, having also skipped OTAs in the spring and sitting out the June minicamp with an ankle injury.
Soon, though, the Seahawks say Lynch will get back on the field in full.
Running backs coach Sherman Smith said after practice Friday that Lynch has been cleared to practice, with the ankle apparently no longer an issue.
"We are looking for him getting out there and getting some reps,'' Smith said. "I can't wait to see it.''
What you may not see is much of Lynch in exhibition games. It's common for running backs to be limited in the preseason to avoid taking unnecessary hits, and Lynch has been no exception. He got just five carries for 9 yards last year in the preseason.
"Not much more than he's gotten in the past,'' Smith said of how much Lynch might play in the preseason. "Marshawn doesn't do a lot of running in the preseason, so that's the way it's going to be. He comes back, nothing is going to change. Absolutely nothing.''
What has changed a little is Lynch's contract — a four-year deal worth up to $31 million that he signed before the 2012 season.
The modifications, and the manner in which they developed, came into clearer focus on Friday.
Lynch ultimately ended his seven-day holdout by agreeing to a deal in which the team will turn $1 million in incentives and roster bonuses for the 2014 season into base salary.
Specifically, a $500,000 incentive for rushing for 1,500 yards this year is now base salary, as is another $500,000 he was due to earn as a roster bonus.
The team also will turn $500,000 he was due to earn in 2015 and include it in his 2014 base salary. Those moves will bump his 2014 base salary from $5 million to $6.5 million.
Sources said it was the same deal the team offered to Lynch in May when he began sending hints that he wanted some changes to his contract.
There are two years remaining on that deal, and there has been much speculation that the team might consider releasing Lynch after this season with his contract scheduled to count for $9 million against the salary cap in 2015 (the team could save $7 million off the cap by releasing him).
The Seahawks made similar moves after the 2013 season with receiver Sidney Rice and defensive linemen Chris Clemons and Red Bryant, which helped clear the space to re-sign the likes of Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas.
Lynch is said to have wanted $5 million — essentially his base salary for 2015 — along with the incentive and bonus money as a hedge against being released.
The team, though, held firm to its stance of not wanting to renegotiate existing contracts, in part so as not to set a precedent that other players could reference later.
The team also felt Lynch had a fair contract — according to OvertheCap.com, the average-per-year salary on his contract remains fifth among NFL running backs.
The Seahawks also agreed not to enforce a fine of recouping some of Lynch's signing bonus as a penalty for holding out.
However, it remains unclear if the team will waive $210,000 Lynch can be assessed as daily penalties for holding out ($30,000 for each day he missed). It's thought that the knowledge that the team might try to enforce that penalty helped compel Lynch to return.
Whether Lynch is bothered that he didn't get what he was reportedly asking for remains unclear, as he refrained from talking to the media.
"Just to see his jersey number 24 is special to all of us,'' said receiver Doug Baldwin. "He carries the team on his back literally, so we are excited to have him back.''
• The Seahawks placed defensive tackle Jesse Williams on injured reserve after he suffered a knee injury Wednesday that will require surgery. Williams, a fifth-round pick in 2013, also missed all of last season due to knee issues. The Seahawks also released recently signed free agent wide receiver Randall Carroll. Those two moves cleared space on the roster for the return of Lynch, who had been on the reserve/did not report list, and linebacker Marcus Dowtin, who the team added on Friday. Dowtin, from North Alabama, played three games last year for the Giants and five for the Bills, and three with the Jets in 2010.

Sunny Deol: Everybody is trying to do louder stunts
Actor Sunny Deol feels that action in films nowadays is becoming very "louder" and unbelievable, and hence he got stunt coordinator Dan Bradley on board for his directorial film "Ghayal - Once Again".
Sunny Deol
"Definitely, action is very important and today I see people who're doing the kind of action which I've done several times before. You hit one and ten persons go flying around. They even move with the finger's signal. That has become a lot now."
"Perhaps I was the one who started it by mistake and I need to stop it now," said Sunny at the trailer launch of "Ghayal - Once Again".
In the trailer, Sunny is seen doing a lot of running around, hanging from a train and delivering his trademark punches. But no gravity-defying stunts are seen and Bradley needs to be thanked for that, says Sunny.
"All the action coordinators that we have are all good, but they have lost the sense of the kind of action that we really want to do. Everybody is trying to be louder and louder."
"So I hunted around and I liked Dan Bradley on the basis of the films he had done. It was a great pleasure to be working with him because he's genuinely a creative person. In this film because of him and because of our concept together, we've been able to bring out reality as much as possible," he said.
Bradley has worked on numerous popular films such as "Spiderman" series, "Superman Returns", "Quantum of Solace" and "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" among others.

Medical Definition of Frankenfood
Frankenfood: Perjorative term for genetically modified food whether it be derived from genetically engineered plants or animals. This derogatory term was coined from Franken(stein) + food on June 16, 1992 by Paul Lewis, Professor of English at Boston College, who wrote to The New York Times as follows: "...Ever since Mary Shelley's baron rolled his improved human out of the lab, scientists have been bringing just such good things to life. If they want to sell us Frankenfood, perhaps it's time to gather the villagers, light some torches and head to the castle."Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary
