Photographer's Note
HOTEL de VILLE de SAIGON
Ho Chi Minh City Hall or Hôtel de Ville de Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Head office - Trụ sở Ủy ban Nhân dân Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh) was built in 1902-1908 in the French colonial style for the then city of Saigon.
It was renamed after 1975 as Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee. Illuminated at night, the building is not opened to the public or for tourists.
A statute of the namesake is found in park next to the building.
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is the largest city in Vietnam. It was once known as Prey Nokor, an important Khmer seaport prior to annexation by the Vietnamese in the 17th century.
Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the French colony of Cochinchina and later of the independent state of South Vietnam from 1954 to 1975. In 1976, Saigon merged with the surrounding province of Gia Định and was officially renamed Hồ Chí Minh City (although the name Sài Gònformally known as District 1is still commonly used.)
The city center is situated on the banks of the Saigon River, 60 kilometers (37 mi) from the South China Sea[3] and 1,760 kilometers (1,094 mi) south of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
The metropolitan area, which consists of the Hồ Chí Minh City metropolitan area, Thủ Dầu Một, Dĩ An, Biên Hòa and surrounding towns, is populated by more than 9 million people, making it the most populous metropolitan area in Vietnam and the countries of the former French Indochina.
Hồ Chí Minh City began as a small fishing village known as Prey Nokor.
The area that the city now occupies was originally swampland, and was inhabited by Khmer people for centuries before the arrival of the Vietnamese.
It should be noted that in Khmer folklore southern Vietnam was given to the Vietnamese government as a dowry for the marriage of a Vietnamese princess to a Khmer prince in order to stop constant invasions and pillaging of Khmer villages.
Under current planning, the Greater Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan Area, a metropolitan area covering most of Đông Nam Bộ, Tiền Giang and Long An provinces will have an area of 30,000 square kilometers and a population of 20 million inhabitants by 2020

Background For Teachers:
Abraham Harold Maslow (1908-1970) was an American who founded human psychology because he felt strongly that the best way to learn about psychology was to study well-adjusted, not disturbed, people. He moved away from the view that people are controlled by the subconscious (psychoanalysis) or by the environment (behaviorism). He believed individuals are controlled by their values and the choices they make. He devised a model of true human needs showing that a well-adjusted person satisfies the physical needs such as hunger and thirst on level one before the other safety needs such as shelter and clothing of level 2, etc. The last and highest level is self-actualization. Theoretically, if this need is fulfilled, people can reach their fullest potential.
According to the theory, adults moving through all the levels they can, psychologically, risk the lower needs, such as hunger and shelter to realize in some way, self-actualization. Hunger, however, is a very basic physical need. If it has not ever been satisfied, the other, higher needs cannot be met because they are not as essential to sustaining live as hunger or the other physical needs. If you are really starving, for example, you will not be concerned with much else.
Food can help you to feel companionship and belonging. We associate certain foods with pleasant or unpleasant feelings we've had. For example, babies learn to associate food with the warmth and security of the person who feeds them. Children who are promised treats, such as candy, for behaving properly will associate food with approval. The care given during illness goes hand-in-hand with chicken noodle soup. Homemade cookies call up memories of visiting grandma. Family members can show love for other family members by preparing a favorite dinner. Food makes it easier to interact with family members because of the warm feelings and atmosphere it creates. In most cultures it is considered a compliment or an honor if someone goes to the trouble of preparing and presenting a meal for someone's enjoyment.
Instructional Procedures:
Divide the class into groups. Assign the students in each group to one of Maslow's needs. Students will brainstorm and/or research to:
Using a magic marker have each student go to the chart corresponding to group assignment and record his/her information.
Divide the class into groups. Assign each group one of Maslow's needs. Have each group create a collage from magazine pictures that illustrates the need. A spokesperson from each group can show and explain the collage to the class
Bring the class back together and discuss:

Amici Italian Café in Athens is operating under new ownership. The Madision-based parent company, Amici Food Group, recently sold the downtown Athens store to Ryan Myers and Barry Westbrook.
The transaction makes the Athens restaurant the fourth Amici franchise. There are two company owned stores, including one in Madison.
The Athens store opened in 2004, said Myers, who worked with Amici's Milledgeville restaurant when he attended Georgia College & State University. He moved to Athens and served as general manager of Amici's in Athens when it opened. Myers later went to work for Zaxby's corporate office and then with Mellow Mushroom's corporate operation.
He and Westbrook don't plan any menu changes for the Athens Amici Italian Cafe. They have cleaned and renovated the restaurant and are extending their weekend hours and bar hours. They also plan to sell late-night food on weekends until 2 a.m.

Today, I am in a totally different field, the insurance industry. While not technical from a pure engineering standpoint, it is numbers driven and is a very complex environment to compete in. I also use a lot of problem solving and project management skills in running four separate business units for Aetna.
Pick the field that you like the most and go with it. Any engineering degree should give you a strong foundation and the ability to go into other areas in the future. Your degree should be a springboard, not a cage. It should launch you in a certain direction, but allow you to alter the course throughout your career.
My first job was for Rockwell International as Manufacturing Engineer working on the space shuttle. I actually had the opportunity to contribute in the building of the 3 main engines on the very first shuttle aircraft. Working on such a challenging and important project was great for my professional growth. It also provided me with great visibility and other opportunities within the company.
My Value Engineering class. It made you think about how to make things better without making them overcomplicated. I also had a great professor in John Polomsky. He stressed creating value, being practical and using common sense, which is always useful.
Being in the healthcare field is very critical to dealing with todays societal issues. I get to be involved with decisions on how to make more choices for the consumer, as well as trying to improve the affordability of insurance for all.
I always had an inquisitive mind, so I wanted to understand how things worked. I knew that an engineering background would always be in demand in the job market. It would also serve me well in various capacities, especially involving problem solving.

In recent weeks, the San Diego Chamber of Commerce's board narrowly endorsed the passage of Proposition D, the San Diego city ballot measure that would raise the local sales tax from 8.75 percent to 9.25 percent. This sales tax increase would be enacted on the condition the city carries out 10 reforms meant to address the city's chronic budget shortfalls. After the vote, the chamber's chairman told the Union-Tribune, "Our job from this morning on is to make sure that we are vigilant in keeping the pressure on the mayor and the council to do what they said they were going to do."
Unfortunately, in the past such pressure has been largely ignored. In fact, five City Council members were willing to put the sales tax measure on the ballot with no reform requirements. Only the timely intercession of Councilwoman Donna Frye put any reforms on the table.
As a person in the business community, I know that added costs to consumers and businesses from an increased sales tax are not healthy for our struggling local economy. Such taxes will raise prices on products purchased by businesses. Most of these costs will ultimately be passed on to consumers. On top of the increased prices for products and goods, citizens themselves will have to pay increased taxes for clothing, prepared food, gasoline, cars and a host of other products. Businesses that do not have the flexibility to pass the increased sales tax on to customers will be forced to absorb the cost and hiring will continue to suffer.
Why do some city politicians advocate Proposition D and pressure local business leaders to support it? The answer is simple – the city needs money to continue meeting its ever-increasing pension obligations. Pension reform to date has been small and largely symbolic. Although these recent reforms have been heralded as a success, the savings from these reforms will only modestly emerge two or more decades from now. Meanwhile, benefits with lifetime values of more than $6 million continue to be paid out.
San Diego has yet to move decisively away from its outdated, defined-benefit pension plans, not even for its elected officials or highly compensated upper managers. In such a system, municipal employees receive a guaranteed level of post-retirement income considerably in excess of their private-sector counterparts, most of which rely on 401(k)-style plans and their own efforts to save for the future.
In fact, the defined-benefit pension model fell out of use long ago in the private sector. Its burdens proved too great and were too inflexible to meet the needs of the modern economy. Those firms that failed to move away from it quickly enough – most famously the auto and the airline industries – went bankrupt under the weight of their pension obligations.
The city's current politicians have failed to implement substantial and meaningful measures to address the pension problem on a go-forward basis. Like the airline and auto industries, the pension burden will ultimately implode San Diego city finances. In fact, it has already started.
Voting against this sales tax and defeating the measure will force the city's politicians to finally confront the pension issue head-on, since City Hall will not have any additional revenue to divert to the city's pension obligations. Make the politicians decide between preserving public safety or paying excessive pension benefits. Only then will change occur. If it does not, the voters will then know clearly whom to hold accountable for their failure to act.

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo insists coach Javier Aguirre's job is safe.
"We trust Aguirre and though the press and fans are looking for someone to make guilty, they'll find no-one here. We all want that first win and when it comes everything will be calmer.
"We have only two points, that's clear, but the way we have played shows that we could have won any of the three games so far."
On Diego Forlan, Cerezo added: "He doesn't concern me because he is a great player and will soon start scoring."

2 Pistols ft. French Montana & Joell Ortiz - All I Know
As much as I dig All I Know, the latest single from 2 Pistols, I am going to have disagree with him. On the song's hook, singer K Major, speaking for 2P and guests Joell Ortiz and French Montana, croons "All I know is fast money and homicide."" What about knowing how to make a catchy tune? No? In between Major's change of pace hook, producer Bolo's beat, centered around a ringing bell, cranks as Pistols, the Mac & Cheese Man and the Slaughterhouse veteran all spit about what they know best, the streets. The Florida native even flashes a little bit of sports knowledge with a few references to NFL running backs of both past and present. All I Know is not currently attached to a project, but fans should check out Gangsta, featured back in September

Wis. cops get $60K to fight drug trafficking
By Shaun Zinck
Beloit Daily News
JANESVILLE, Wis. — The Rock County Sheriff's Office recently received nearly $60,000 in federal funding to help combat drug trafficking in the county.
Sheriff Bob Spoden said the grant money mainly goes to pay overtime incurred when officers conduct drug raids throughout the county. The $59,000 came from the High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Program. Tonight the Rock County Board will vote to add the funds to the Sheriff's office budget.
"The other good thing is that Beloit and Janesville are associated with the program so if we do a drug trafficking operation we pay for their overtime as well," Spoden said.

EU to promote sustainable fishing at NAFO Annual Meeting
NAFO members will discuss total allowable catches (TACs) for the main NAFO fish stocks, including Greenland halibut, cod, redfish, shrimps, and thorny skates. The Annual Meeting will also look into ways to step up the protection of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems, based on the scientific advice and the recommendations of a dedicated Working Group within NAFO. The EU will push for NAFO to continue to step up sustainable management of its fish stocks and protection of the marine ecosystems. Adopting an action plan to implement the recommendations of the NAFO performance review panel would significantly contribute to that.
NAFO is a regional fisheries management organisation which manages most fishery resources of the Northwest Atlantic. It has 12 members from North America, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean, the EU being one of them.

Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Cardinal Gibbons wideout Trevon Lee is set on his top four schools, but determining the fifth one has been a bit trickier for the sure handed pass-catcher.
Article Continues Below
Two weeks ago, Lee traveled to California for his first official visit. The three-star split end had nothing but good things to say about his trip out to Berkeley.
"It was amazing, I really love the school, and everything about it," Lee said. "The coaches were nice, the atmosphere was nice, and the climate was nice. Coach (Sonny) Dykes is a really laid-back head coach, he is really cool. I like him and the offense is real explosive, similar to our offense, so it would be a good fit if I end up there."
Lee said he will take official visits to Duke, Stanford, and Vanderbilt at the end of the season.
He is planning to take his fifth visit on October 11 during his bye week. The schools in contention to get him on campus include Auburn, Nebraska, and Oregon.
The big-play receiver has been to Duke and Vanderbilt before, so he is familiar with those programs. His trip to Palo Alto will be his first time visiting Stanford.
"I want to look for the same things I saw at Cal," stated Lee. "I want to see how the coaches are, how the practices are, see how the team is, and how I fit."
Because he is taking visits late in the year, he may make a decision near Signing Day. Lee said as of now he feels the most comfortable with the staff at Vanderbilt.

Patrick Hope: The ancients must be crazy
Happy Canada Day, everyone! In honor of the national holiday of America, Jr., we're going to be looking at a game from a Canadian studio, the Ontario-based Silicon Knights.
Sadly, Silicon Knights is now defunct thanks to a copyright infringement lawsuit, but we can still remember its output, like "Legacy of Kain," "MGS: The Twin Snakes," and a revolutionary survival horror game from 2002 — "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem."
"Eternal Darkness" began as a Nintendo 64 game all the way back in 1999 and morphed into one of the Gamecube's big releases of the summer of 2002. While a survival horror game at its heart, "Eternal Darkness" strayed from the genre's roots, adding elements like non-terrible combat, a sprawling story spanning millennia, and the game's huge gimmick, the Sanity Meter.
The core gameplay in "Eternal Darkness" is nothing you haven't seen before, but it's still done very well. It's a third-party horror game with a fixed camera, but thankfully avoids the much-maligned tank controls. All 12 of the characters you experience mover around pretty well and a nifty targeting system where you can choose to decapitate or maim the legions of undead and demons you'll be dealing with makes combat really smooth.
It's also worth noting that each of the characters you play as will have their own stats and affinities. For example, industrial firefighter Michael Edwards and archaeologist rockstar Edwin "Don't Call Me Junior" Lindsey are way better suited for combat than Khmer slave girl Ellia or Renaissance architect Roberto Bianchi. The locales, weapons, and costumes are also period-accurate, thanks to the game's having a history professor from the University of Toronto as a consultant. But the core gameplay of "Eternal Darkness" really takes a backseat to the atmosphere, story, and the Sanity Meter.
The atmosphere of "Eternal Darkness" is about as close as you can get to HP Lovecraft without actually using Cthulhu or Nyarlathotep. There are godlike creatures that require really specific rituals to summon to our dimension. A house in Rhode Island plays a central role. Magic is done through incantations in a weird ancient language. There's a real sense of paranoia because a particular type of enemy can take over human bodies (it actually causes one character to go nuts and get thrown in an asylum where he gives us inspirational lines like "May the rats eat your eyes"). No other game, including the ones which actually use the Lovecraft mythos, nail it like "Eternal Darkness" does.
Anyway, "Eternal Darkness's" story spans a period from 26 AD all the way to 2000. In 26, a Roman centurion named Pious Augustus is chilling in Persia (which, as our firefighter Michael, ends up in the story by putting out oil well fires in the wake of the First Gulf War, puts us in Kuwait) when he gets summoned to a stone circle and zapped down to a place known as the Forbidden City, where he grabs a relic of one of three demonstrably evil Ancients. This turns poor Pious into a lich serving his choice of Chattur'gha, the powerful crab thing, Xel'lotah, the eel that controls insanity, or Ulyaoth, the dimension-controlling jellyfish.
What follows is humanity's attempts to undo Pious's 2,000-year plan to resurrect his deity of choice. Each chosen human's exploits are recorded in the Tome of Eternal Darkness, a Necronomicon-ish book that doesn't exist on our plane of reality. The stories are told somewhat out of sequence, jumping around in location from the Forbidden City to the Roivas estate in Rhode Island, to Oublie (French for "forgotten") Cathedral in Amiens, to a Cambodian temple where the former ruler of the Ancients, a mass of tentacles, mouths and eyes called Mantorok, has been bound with a magic spell that is slowly killing it, resides. The story twists and turns and thanks to some really good writing, tells a gripping tale that you have to see to its conclusion.
But that story works even better thanks to the Sanity Meter. No game before and, to the best of my knowledge, has employed a concept quite like it. So, Sanity is a quantity that can be drained, either by looking at enemies or seeing scary stuff. And when your Sanity Meter gets low, the fun begins. You'll walk into a room and spontaneously combust. Or you won't be able to kill any enemies. Or you'll be walking on the ceiling. On their own, these are pretty amazing, but "Eternal Darkness" didn't want to stop by having the characters experience weird things. No, they broke the fourth wall with some absolutely brilliant Sanity Effects designed to mess with you, the player.
If your Sanity Meter is low, your screen might suddenly go black like your TV turned off. Or you'll get a message that your controller isn't plugged in. Or the game will suddenly end when you enter a room, saying it will be concluded in "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Redemption." Or you will get the most evil, and most effective trick any game has perhaps played on someone. "Eternal Darkness" lets you save anywhere. And while it isn't a hard game by any means, some levels can get long and you'll want to save often to play it safe. And sometimes, when your Sanity Meter is low, you might go to save. But the game won't save. It'll erase your memory card. Well, not really, as it's a Sanity Effect, but that moment when you say "Wait, no. Stop" is exactly when "Eternal Darkness" has done its job.
After its initial success, there was talk of a sequel that never materialized. There were even two Kickstarters for a spiritual sequel called "Shadow of the Eternals" that were both canceled. And that's fine with me. There is really no need for one.
"Eternal Darkness" stands on its own as a phenomenal game and — along with "Resident Evil 4," "Silent Hill 2," "Corpse Party," and the Super Nintendo version of "Clock Tower" — is one gaming's horror greats.
In the yawning chasm, filled with the puerile meanderings of sentience from jump scares and terrible Slenderman games, "Eternal Darkness" is the real deal.

Biography of Rachael LoudFingers
Hey everyone my names Rachael.
As you can blatently tell, writing is something I find comforting when I have overhwhelming thoughts and or feelings.
I had a friend once tell me that keeping your beautiful thoughts from open ears is not humble, but selfish.
So here I am letting out all I have, and there is quite a big chance I do not know you.
So take in what goes through my mind.
And tell me what goes through yours when
your read my words.
Enjoy! !
Rachael LoudFingers Poems
Jungle Boy
Ventures through the wild He halts sharply Gazes into the beauty awhile profiles the grandfather trees
Digging A Hole
Sexual attraction has killed it all Emotions have become lost Happiness left out to violently fall We both evolve to mindless robots
The Window Won'T Always Be Foggy
There is a girl that weeps She detests her unbalanced life She's confused of who to keep She ponders at who is right
Rotting Existance
She trieds so hard to fit in with all the others They don't pay attention to her screaming words They don't consider her...Shes not there She sits alone, on her pretend throne
I Miss
The warmth of your soul Lifting my heart and holding it high guiding me to the heavens
The Light Grows And Grows
That one little thing You pass by Could be everything Something
Falling Asleep In Class
Her eyes flutter without hesitance Outside surroundings become white Breaths are slow, yet tense For her troubles flow out of sight
Favored Sibling
Shadow of another Whos light beams Silently shoved beneath A better perfection
Beautifully Silent
Tell me about the time When the hearts smiled in duet Remember that little rhyme That would help us forget
Army Boy
We lay in the grassy hills and I face him as he smiles I take heed to the evening, so still Right here and now it's all worthwhile
The Forgotten
Emotions feelings thoughts are Uncontrollable Pierces my body chaotically Frozen with madness
Runs through the fields To hide a curse Hands open to heal Embracing them
The Bad Thing
Mind closed, collapsed Breath shortens A violent gasp To find a safe space
Yellow Kiss
Swaying forward and back In the soft wind Light reflects off the petal That pastes a yellow glow

Well deserved, Wiijohn! May your armor strike fear into the hearts of those who oppose you!
@Ithian, I knew owning up to having that game would come back to haunt me.
You've even got it on your WODE video John, that's what reminded me.

The missing Modern Masters
For his forthcoming show at the Haunch of Venison gallery in London, artist Jamie Shovlin has reimagined 17 covers for titles from the Fontana Modern Masters series (1970-84) which were scheduled to appear but never did
Jamie Shovlin, Mann by Lionel Trilling (Variation 1A)
For his forthcoming show at the Haunch of Venison gallery in London, artist Jamie Shovlin has reimagined 17 covers for titles from the Fontana Modern Masters series (1970-84) which were scheduled to appear but never did…
Fontana Modern Masters was a series of pocket guides on writers, philosophers and cultural theorists whose ideas had helped to form the intellectual landscape of the 20th century. The first five titles came out in 1970, published by Fontana Books, the paperback imprint of William Collins & Co. The series editor was the academic and critic, Frank Kermode.
Jamie Shovlin, Arendt by David Watson (Variation 1)
For a thorough examination of the design of this striking collection, there's no better place than James Pardey's mini-site dedicated to the work at fontanamodernmasters.org. As Pardey reveals, the Modern Masters collection was published in six separate sets, each with its own distinctive cover design template. These covers, he writes, "did not just catch the eye, they hijacked it."
Jamie Shovlin, Matisse by David Sylvester (Variation 1A)
On his site, Pardey charts the influence of artist Victor Vaserely's Op Art work on the geometric art of Oliver Bevan, who in turn was commissioned to create the paintings used on the initial run of Fontana covers. The publisher's art director, John Constable, had been struck by an interactive tabletop piece shown by Bevan at the Grabowski gallery in 1969, where tiles could be arranged in different combinations.
Bevan produced his Cascade patterning device for the first ten FMM covers; a second set of nine in 1971-73; and a third set of eight in 1973-74. Under Mike Dempsey's art direction from the mid-70s (and Patrick Mortimer's into the 1980s), artist James Lowe created three series of cover designs based on various iterations of triangles, square and circles.
Jamie Shovlin, Foucault by J.G. Merquior (Variation 1B)
Jamie Shovlin, Berlin by John Gray (Variation 1)
Since 2003 Shovlin has been using the Fontana series in his art, which also acknowledges his own interest in graphic design and typography. For his new series of paintings he devised a system set out in the form of a colour wheel (shown below), which enabled him to generate the colours and patterns for each of these unpublished FMM books, and suggest how they might have looked.
Jamie Shovlin, Benjamin by Samuel Weber (Variation 3)
According to the gallery, he used a points system to score the 'Modern Master' of each book. "Criteria such as the number of pages in their book, the number of other Modern Master texts cited in the book bibliography, whether they were a Nobel Prize winner and so on were counted by Shovlin and recorded in the colour wheel," says HoV. "The total score could be interpreted to indicate the success, popularity or intellectual weight of each Modern Master but also, working from the covers of existing books, the colour and composition of the new cover designs."
Jamie Shovlin, Colour wheel
The outcome of this system created many potential designs for each cover; but only one was selected by Shovlin as the primary design. "The failed designs were incorporated into the paintings as each canvas was painted and repainted, burying the variations under the selected design that sits at the front of the picture," say the gallery. "A trace of each preceding layer is retained through the various spills, drips, lines and overlaps evident in the final surface of each painting, hinting at the intrinsic flaws in the artist's self-devised system and the value of classificatory systems in everyday life."
Shovlin's paintings will be showing at the Haunch of Venison gallery, 103 New Bond Street, London W1K 5ES from April 18 until May 26. More details at the gallery's site, haunchofvenison.com. Pardey's site on the design history of the Fontana Modern Masters series is at fontanamodernmasters.org.

Update: Popeye's responds with "We are proud of this campaign…" Read it all here.
Popeye's has introduced a new series of TV and radio spots using "Annie the Chicken Queen." GSD&M Idea City, Austin, Texas, created the spots. Annie is meant to highlight the brand's personality which is "honest, vibrant, youthful and authentic," according to Popeyes CMO Dick Lynch. What he really should have said is that the brand is trying to highlight it's myopic view of the world. He should also be fired (hasta pronto) for not understanding a damn thing about his target demo. Basically, Popeye's is trying to woo black folk. And hey – that's fine except when you start dabbling in stereotypes, messing around with "Mammie" imagery and turning off your target market.
All I have to say about this spot is: Go head wit yo bad self… you fucking morons. ECD Mark Taylor? You should be ashamed for green lighting this piece of trite trash. You're better than this. Meanwhile, the reactions on the web (from black, white, Asians and beyond) have been deservedly awful thus far:
From Bevy Smith on Twitter: "Annie the Chicken Queen on the Popeye's commercial sets the race back so FAR! Did Popeye's not get the memo about Pres.Obama? JUDGEMENT!"
From HopieSpitshard on Twitter : "It propogates an outdated stereotype. Why does she tap her scalp when she intro's herself? (In re Popeye's Annie Chicken Queen)"
From JBeckham7 on Twitter: "Just saw the Popeye's commercial with Annie the Chicken King… are you serious.."
From GeekyChic on Twitter: "Oh dear God. This Popeye's commercial with fried chicken-mama Annie is so blatantly stereotypical it makes my teeth hurt."
From kimberlyh183 on YouTube: "THAT is offensive!"
From Not1OfUrFans on YouTube: "Cism!"
Need we go on?

Jan 12, 2009 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
As the theory goes, when the Bishop Ludden and Christian Brothers Academy boys basketball teams get together for their "Holy War" clashes, each side brings their best effort, leading to a memorable and hard-fought classic.
That didn't exactly happen on Sunday afternoon at LeMoyne College. Short-handed, and completely out of rhythm, the Gaelic Knights didn't even score in the first quarter and took a 49-27 loss to the Brothers, its eighth straight defeat in the series dating back to 2005.
The 27 points were, by far, the least amount of offense ever rendered by either side in the 46-year history of the Ludden-CBA rivalry, but its roots stemmed from the absence of one of the Gaelic Knights' best players.
Frank Smith, Ludden's second-leading scorer and top rebounder, broke team rules and was suspended earlier in the week. This was the third game Smith had missed, and his return remains uncertain.
This left the Gaelic Knights with a smaller lineup (Nick Familo started in Smith's place) against CBA, who had put a big scare into defending state Class A champion Jamesville-DeWitt two nights earlier.
Right from the opening tip, Ludden found itself in trouble. Not only was the inside closed off, but every inch of court space got challenged as CBA's man-to-man defense kept guard Rick Montgomery, John Rooney and Omar Osbourne from getting any kind of penetration.
As a result, the Gaelic Knights would not score at all in the first quarter, falling behind 16-0, only getting on the board when Rooney hit a jumper early in the second period.
Even with that, Ludden trailed 27-9 at the break and never really made CBA worry. Rooney had 13 points and Montgomery added eight points, but the rest of the team had just two total field goals.
CBA forwards Mike Goodman (14 points) and Greg Thomson (11 points) nearly matched the Gaelic Knights' total by themselves, overwhelming Familo, Kevin Bullock and any other Ludden defender trying to contain them.
What preceded the CBA clash was a pair of OHSL Freedom division tests, each carrying their own degree of difficulty since Smith was out.
First, the Gaelic Knights visited Mexico last Tuesday night, and the game turned into a grinding affair where Ludden had to play strong defense to beat the Tigers 51-44.
Neither side made any kind of sustained run in the first half, leaving Ludden to cling to a 20-18 edge at the break. But it all turned in the third quarter, when the Gaelic Knights kept Mexico in check, outscoring them 14-5.
The defense allowed Ludden to feel its way through its first game without Smith to rely on. Montgomery stepped up for 19 points, eight of them from free throws, while Rooney earned 12 points. Osbourne (eight points) and Jared Littlejohn (six points) helped, too.
Back home Friday night, Ludden met Cortland, who was 6-5 but fuming after getting beat by 0-9 East Syracuse-Minoa earlier in the week.
Still, Ludden put together a gritty effort, rallying from a halftime deficit, then hanging on in the end to beat the Purple Tigers 48-44.
Through a low-scoring first half, neither side could produce much, but Cortland edged in front, 21-18, and made the home fans worry.
Ludden made perfect adjustments, though, and dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Purple Tigers 16-5, then fending off Cortland's late charge.
It took great outside shooting. All of Rooney's 15 points came from five successful 3-pointers, while Montgomery hit three times beyond the arc on his way to 19 points. This negated the work of Cortland's Trevor Williamson, who led both sides with 21 points.
Much of this goodwill dissipated after the CBA defeat, but Ludden is still 8-3 going into Tuesday's game at Chittenango and would be favored again Friday against Phoenix, whether Smith is back or not.

Tom Petty Takes His Blasting of Modern Country Music a Step Further in Rolling Stone Interview
Back in May, Tom Petty used the stage of the Beacon Theater in New York City to voice his displeasure of what country music has evolved into when he called the country music of today "bad rock with a fiddle". Rather than backing down from those comments in a recent interview, Petty took the opportunity to elaborate his point.
During an interview with Rolling Stone that was published Monday (August 5th), the southern rock legend very specifically points out what is missing in the modern era of country music, a genre he admits had a huge influence on him and his band, the Heartbreakers.
In the interview, Petty tells RS:
"I hate to generalize on a whole genre of music, but it does seem to be missing that magic element that it used to have. I'm sure there are people playing country that are doing it well, but they're just not getting the attention that the sh***ier stuff gets."
Without specifically mentioning any of today's country artists, Petty went on to point out who the new crop of performers don't remind him of:
"I don't really see a George Jones or a Buck Owens or any anything that fresh coming up. I'm sure there must be somebody doing it, but most of that music reminds me of rock in the middle 80s where it became incredibly generic and relied on videos."
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are currently finishing up his 13th CD, which should be out early next year. In the Rolling Stone interview, he calls the new project "Unlike anything we've ever done".

Yeah, that's it. *sigh*
Actually, I've missed YOU. I need to get caught up on all my blog friends and hope they remember me.
No point in trying to catch up on almost a years' worth of news from around the farm, so I'll just put some pictures on here.
Big Otis and his girls are on a mission to rid the world of every single June bug in existence. I'm not going to tell them that's pretty much an impossibility because watching them chase their prey across the yard at full speed is too hilarious.
The sheep are very happy to be rid of their winter sweaters. Oh, and Tiny says howdy.
It's been too hot to do anything outside for the past few weeks, so Lily and I have been spending the days inside in my sewing room. Oh, and Lily would say howdy if she wasn't so busy snoring.
Speaking of sewing, I embroidered this little t-shirt for my great-nephew, who will be turning two in November. He's heading to the beach with his mom and dad this week, so I thought the crab was appropriate. *grin*
Speaking of family, we were blessed to celebrate Father's Day a couple of weeks ago with four generations- from left to right- my brother Tim holding his grandson Brantley (my great nephew), my dad, and my nephew Nick. Good times.
So much more to show and tell, but I'll save it for another time. I have to keep things exciting around here. (Ha) Until next time........
Happy Thursday!!!!

Toys "R" Us inspires charitable support through social media campaign
Toys "R" Us is supporting Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation through a new campaign which encourages families active on social media to spread awareness for the charity by sharing who or what they "stir" for.
To celebrate its fourth consecutive year of partnership with ALSF, Toys "R" US is inviting children and families to show their support through the company's #Stir4ACure initiative. Throughout the campaign, the retailer's official social media channels will provide ongoing fundraising updates, opportunities to get involved, fun activities and more.
"Social media is a wonderful opportunity for us as a company to interact and engage with our customers," said Nicole Hayes, assistant manager of public relations for Toys "R" Us, Wayne, NJ.
"It allows us to provide our social community with current information quickly and easily, whether it's regarding a new product or one of our many charitable campaigns."
"And, we've found that our followers share in our mission to help children in need through their participation in and support of our charitable campaigns," she said.
Gifting commemoration
Companies are increasingly activating real people and charitable organizations whose passions and interests intersect with their brands and help bring them to life. ALSF funds research projects and provides resources to assist families affected by pediatric cancer, and its cooperation with Toys "R" Us furthers its mission to evolve into a national movement.
Beginning this Sunday, June 1 through Thursday, July 31, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram users can access Toysrus.com/AlexsLemonade, where they will find a downloadable, print-out pledge, on which they are encouraged to write down who or what they stir for.
To further spread the word about the cause, participants are then asked to share photos of their signs on their social media channels, using #Stir4ACure.
Throughout the campaign, all Toys "R" Us social network pages will feature posts highlighting an ALSF hero and their own inspirational story and personal connection to the cause.
Lemon smile challenge
Can you smile while biting into a lemon? Well, a lot of people did just that in the Lemon Smiles Challenge Toys "R" Us introduced last June in support of ALSF.
The social media campaign encouraged supporters to spread the word about the cause by sharing photos of themselves, family and friends biting into lemons and smiling anyway. Smiles could then be shared on Toys "R" Us' Facebook page.
Social campaigning
Toys "R" Us is an annual supporter of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, and introduced a new social media initiative this past Christmas called #NoWishTooBig.
Children drew pictures of toys they'd like to give to needy children, and for every picture Toys "R" Us received on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag, Toys "R" Us donated a toy to the nonprofit. The effort received about 700 submissions.
Many nonprofits have effectively leveraged corporate sponsorships to increase revenue and develop relationships with well-heeled prospects.
One of the most important results of a partnership is that both parties reach new audiences. Businesses like Toys "R" Us want people to know about their philanthropy, and greater visibility can lead to new market reach.
"At Toys"R"Us, it is our philanthropic mission to keep children safe and help them in times of need," Ms. Hayes said.
"We hope that when social media users see #Stir4ACure signs they are encouraged to do the same, understanding that even something small – like sharing their sign or hosting a lemonade stand – can help make a big difference."
Final Take:
Michelle is editorial assistant on Mobile Commerce Daily, New York

From Wikitravel
Jog Falls (Kannada: ಜೋಗ ಜಲಪಾತ), created by the Sharavathi River falling from a height of 253 meters (829 ft) is the highest plunge waterfall in India[1] Located in Shimoga District of Karnataka state, these segmented falls are a major tourist attraction. It is also called by alternative names of Gerusoppe falls, Gersoppa Falls and Jogada Gundi.[2]
There are many waterfalls in Asia - and also in India - which drop from a higher altitude. But, unlike those falls, Jog Falls is untiered, i.e., it drops directly and does not stream on to rocks. Thus, it can be described as the highest untiered waterfalls in India.

Beatles tape up for £30k
THE Beatles tape rejected by a record company boss who thought guitar groups were "on the way out" is to go under the hammer after 50 years.
The group – once known as The Silver Beatles – were told they had "no future in showbusiness" after the 1962 audition during which they recorded a 10-track demo tape for Decca.
Within months John, Paul, George and first drummer Pete Best had signed with EMI.
The master tape, recorded at Decca's London studios on New Year's Day 1962, is expected to fetch £30,000 at the Fame Bureau auction in Mayfair next Tuesday.

TORONTO (AP) Young Roman Catholics have flocked from 170 nations to pray with their frail pope and a few even got to lunch with him Friday.
But their devotion to the pontiff hasn't ended division on other matters, such as the role of women in the church and waning interest in religion.
The 200,000 World Youth Day pilgrims, ranging in age from mid-teens to mid-30s, are among the church's most fervent adherents to the point of preparing for an all-night vigil Saturday on the fields where Pope John Paul II will celebrate a public Mass on Sunday.
On Friday night, pilgrims by the tens of thousands jammed several blocks of one of Toronto's broadest avenues to watch 40 actors participate in a Way of the Cross procession, re-enacting the events leading to the crucifixion of Christ. The 13-foot cross used in the ceremony had traveled through 350 communities across Canada over the past 15 months.
John Paul took a day off Friday, remaining at his Strawberry Island retreat north of Toronto to have lunch with 14 pilgrims who were thrilled by the experience.
"It is my greatest honor in my whole life," said Shirley Tso, a 26-year-old Catholic convert from Hong Kong. "After I became Catholic, I never dreamed I would have lunch with the pope."
Interviews with other pilgrims revealed concern about the church's future, with most speaking of dwindling attendance at weekly Mass, especially among the young.
Samantha Smitiuch, 14, of Brantford, Ontario, said her friends found Mass boring. "They need to involve us young people more," she said. "They need to put it into terms that teenagers can understand."
Laura Muldarry, a 31-year-old civil servant from Mullingar, Ireland, said also worried about the declining numbers of churchgoing Catholics.
"I'd like to feel the faith can continue, but I wonder if it will be as strong," she said.
Muldarry said the church would benefit from new ideas, including the possible ordination of women as priests.
"Women have a lot to offer," she said. "Why should they not have the same chance as men?"
Many other young pilgrims opposed female priests.
"(Women) are the ones who have to teach the children," said Monica Wolak, 19, a Polish-born resident of Cologne, Germany.

Has anyone been to Cancer treatment centers of America??? If so How is this center different from regular oncology centers??
Mar 07, 2010 - 8:13 pm
It is my understanding they are a "for profit" hospital and therefore can be very expensive. Right out of the gate I don't know if their treatment will be much different than what your local guy can give you. Some have gone there and liked it, others found them too expensive. Thats all I got - Tina
Mar 07, 2010 - 10:22 pm
I am looking into the one in Seattle for my husband. They do offer different treatment, including a low dose chemo that is given weekly instead of every two weeks (but finished in half the time - 3mo instead Of 6) they also offer natuopathic treatment and nutritionists. I think we may at least meet with the dr there to learn more about the chemo options there. My only concern is the whole "for profit" thing, so I'm remaining cautious. With that said, I've heard pretty good things. So, we'll see! I figure we might as well check it out while we are looking into all of our options!
Mar 08, 2010 - 9:37 am
I've heard varying opinions - one guy I know had his Dad go there and he said he liked it OK. But what the other folks have said is true - they want all of you or nothing.
They are "for profit" as most cancer centers are - they do offer nutrition, acupunture, and some holistic treatments and some spiritauality I've heard advertised. They differ there from a traditional cancer center, it's all under one roof.
But, what I was saying above, is that they want all of you if you decide to go there. Their doctors and your money ONLY. I had called them one time and asked if I could do treatments where I'm at and get some of the stuff that mine did not offer - it was explained to me that since they pay for transportation and lodging, that they would not be working with outside doctors, everything must come from CCTA, lock, stock and barrel.
Having to work and the nearest center being too far away, I declined their offer and stayed with my already big city amenities and switched my practice from a private cancer clinic to one of our 2 major hospitals in the area, so I could keep treatment and still go to work.
I don't know much more than this as this was direct experience.
Best of luck with your decision.
Mar 08, 2010 - 10:14 am
As with any 'for profit' center, it will be more expensive. You will want to check with your insurance to see what they will cover of those expenses.
I have not had personal experience with them, but have heard from others that they put together a total package of treatment for mind and body. I guess the best thing about that is that you don't have to worry about making sure that one doc knows what the other is doing. Their team approach at least eliminates that issue.
It never hurts to explore all your options. Best of luck with whatever you determine is right for you.
Mar 08, 2010 - 3:00 pm
When I called to check on them, they told me they accepted TriCare Standard insurance. That really surprised me from what I had heard about them.
Debbie in Arkansas
Mar 08, 2010 - 10:25 pm
I had heard that they have various centers across the US and that each center has specalties. Is it possible that the rejection was just for the center you tried or was it a blanket no?
Regardless, keep on trying...there is possibly someone out there who will take on the challenge of proving the rest of the medical community wrong if they say it "can't be treated".
Good luck in your search,
Mar 09, 2010 - 4:24 pm
I guess it from all of them. I was on hold a long time before the "nurse" told me they didn't have room for me in any of their facilities. Again, this cancer is so rare and so not curable, I just don't think they wanted me as a statistic.

Ford GT40 prototype up for auction
A 1965 Ford GT40 works prototype roadster is being put up for auction later this month. Yes, Ford GT40. That car built to give ol' Enzo a thrashing.
This particular green-hued hunk of Detroit muscle - numbered GT/111 with a 444bhp 4.7-litre V8 - was built by Ford Advanced Vehicles here in Britain as one of twelve pre-production GT40s, and raced in that year's Targa Florio; a race where it only ran on seven of its eight cylinders and crashed after briefly losing a front wheel and hitting a wall.
See more pics of the Ford GT40 roadster up for auction
After the race it was shipped back to Blighty and forgotten. Official GT40 production began soon after and the idea of a roadster was binned, so GT/111 was left at the back of the FAV shop and later went missing after a scrap merchant cleaned the whole place out.
Presumed dead, or as a soldier of fortune in the LA underground, it suddenly reappeared in a lockup garage in East London 40 years later, resting on an old mattress. GT40 experts were called to inspect, verified its authenticity and then began its restoration from rusty scrapheap to factory finish.
It's since been raced in the Spa 6 hours and the Le Mans Classic in '07 and '08, and came 2nd in class at the 2010 Masters Festival at Brands Hatch. Estimates put the auction price at £2,600,000 when it goes under the hammer at the Villa D'Este auction on 21 May.
You want it.

Perceptual learning in humans occurs when a person is repeatedly exposed to specific stimuli (information). Perceptual learning involves long lasting and amazing changes to the human perceptual system that incredibly improve oneís ability to respond to the environment. The mechanisms of perceptual learning include attention weighting, imprinting, differentiation, and unitization. With attention weighting, perception becomes adapted to tasks by increasing the attention paid to important dimensions and features. With imprinting, special receptors are developed that are specialized for specific stimuli. With differentiation, stimuli that were once indistinguishable become psychologically separated. With unitization, tasks that originally required detection of several components are accomplished by detecting a single construct.
Because dramatic changes to human perceptual systems occur within the first six years of life (and the younger the more dramatic), your childís training in perceptual learning in reading and maths must occur during this period in order to achieve effortless learning for success and happiness in school and life.
Attention Weighting
Perception becomes adapted to tasks by increasing the attention paid to important features and by decreasing attention to irrelevant features. Both Perceptual Mathsô and Perceptual Readingô expose materials that are pertinent to learning in each discipline. Your child will perceptually learn to pay attention to those features that are important and ignore those that are not. Often children without perceptual learning in maths and reading will waste processing time on irrelevant features. And not devoting enough processing time to relevant features means problems become unnecessarily more difficult to solve.
Stimulus Imprinting
Through imprinting, receptors that are specialized for stimuli or parts of stimuli are developed. Imprinting implies that the receptor is shaped by the pertinent stimulus. Receptors develop for repeated stimuli, and these receptors increase the speed, accuracy, and fluency with which the stimuli are processed. In Perceptual Mathsô the stimuli are quantities (dots), numerals, operations and clocks. In Perceptual Readingô the stimuli are phonemes, graphemes, words, phrases and sentences.
Whole Stimulus Imprinting
As more instances of maths and reading materials are stored, performance improves because more relevant instances can be retrieved, and the time required for retrieving them decreases. Your childís performance in perceptual tasks is dependent on the amount of their experience with a particular stimulus. Performance is better on frequently presented items than rare items. Perceptual Mathsô and Perceptual Readingô expose relevant materials that improve their performance in maths and reading. As your child gets older they will be better able to perceptually identify unclear or quickly presented maths and reading materials because they will have already been exposed to them during a period of perceptual plasticity.
Feature Imprinting
As well as imprinting on entire stimuli, the human perceptual system also imprints on parts of a stimulus. If a stimulus part is important, varies independently of other parts, or occurs frequently, people develop a specialized receptor for that part. This leads to the development of new building blocks for describing stimuli. Parts that are developed in one context can be used to efficiently describe subsequent objects. Efficient representations are promoted because the parts have been extracted for their prevalence. When new maths or reading problems present themselves, your child will be able to extract relevant features and relate them to their prior learning, which thus builds upon their learning.
Topological Imprinting
Topological imprinting occurs when the space and the positions of patterns within the space are learned as a result of training. Rather than simply developing independent receptors, topological imprinting implies that a spatially organized network of receptors is created. In Perceptual Mathsô the clock and single line equations expose the child to these spatial patterns. The spatial abilities will benefit your childís future problem solving. In Perceptual Readingô the spatial abilities will help comprehension by rapid pickup and processing of text.
With differentiation, stimuli that were once psychologically fused become separated. Once separated, distinction can be made between components that were originally indistinguishable. Differentiation is crucial in understanding maths and reading insofar as understanding the subtle yet important differences in text, numbers and their operations. Differentiation also occurs at the levels of whole stimuli and features within stimuli.
Whole Stimuli Differentiation
Perceptual adaptation involves developing increasingly differentiated object representations rather than its features. In Perceptual Readingô, this applies to whole words, phrases, sentences and beyond, rather than letters. In Perceptual Mathsô, whole stimuli are whole equations and clocks rather than individual numbers and operators.
Learning involves dividing a large, general category into subcategories. Experts in a field have several differentiated categories where a novice has only a single category. For example a computer expert would know the computer as the sum of CPU, memory, storage, BUS etc, while a novice would only see the computer as a box. By the end of the course, at age 3, your child will have been an expert in reading and maths; having had many categories with which to differentiate reading and maths problems.
Dimensions Differentiation
Just as experience can lead to the psychological separation of stimuli or categories, it can also lead to the separation of perceptual dimensions that comprise a single stimulus. Dimensions that are originally treated as fused often become separated with perceptual training. Your child will shift from perceiving stimuli in terms of the holistic to analytically decomposing them into separate dimensions. For example, unlike many young children, your child will be able to differentiate between the letters b, d, p and q at a subconscious level. The process of decomposition gives your perceptually trained child the ability to solve problems well beyond what has been taught.
A task that originally required detection of several parts can be accomplished by detecting a single complex unit. Using the above example, a computer can be perceptually identified as a whole object by an expert while a novice needs to systematically list the components in order to identify the same computer. At last, as a culmination of Perceptual Mathsô and Perceptual Readingô, your child will have perceptually learnt whole words, phrases, sentences, equations and clocks as single units. Thus, retrieval and processing are more efficient and at more rapid speeds and fluency.
Perceptual learning in your child occurs when they are repeatedly exposed to specific reading and maths concepts. These long lasting and amazing changes to their perceptual system incredibly improve their ability to effectively and positively respond to life and school.
At any given time, what can be learned depends on what has already been learned, perceptually and cognitively. Therefore your child, having learnt a great deal by the age of three, will have a powerful unfair advantage over the average population. And they deserve it. Your child will possess incredible superior learning skills that permit them to stay well ahead of their peers throughout life. They will achieve effortless lifelong learning for success and happiness in school and life.

[1]Yesterday, Rick Santorum pulled off a spectacular upset. Practically left for dead after his Iowa win didn't translate into further victories in primaries in New Hampshire, South Carolina, or Florida, Santorum won all three primary events hosted on Tuesday[2].
The wins in Colorado and Minnesota's caucuses and Missouri's nonbinding primary catapult Santorum back into the conversation for the GOP nomination, and signal a possible shake-up for the primary season ahead. Here are six takeaways from Santorum's big night.
With these victories, Santorum has now won four states, a larger number than any of his competitors for the nomination. And while these states aren't the biggest or most influential in the nomination process, losing them significantly hurts Santorum's competition for the Republican nomination.
Romney didn't just lose these primary events — he lost badly. In Minnesota, he finished third, behind both Santorum and Ron Paul. In Colorado, a state that Romney won running away in 2008, he lost. The defeat highlighted Romney's weakness with the conservative and Tea Party base that dominates the GOP in these states.
3. Romney: still the front-runner
Despite the losses, Romney's path going forward is still a strong one. He's expected to win easily in the next scheduled primaries in Arizona and Michigan on Feb. 28, and the Super Tuesday primaries on March 6 heavily favor Romney's large monetary advantage.
4. Gingrich: seriously damaged
Gingrich finished last among the four active candidates in Minnesota and third in Colorado. The conservative, evangelical, and Tea Party base that Gingrich had previously courted so well seems to have abandoned him for Santorum. All the momentum from Gingrich's South Carolina win is gone, sucked out by relentless attacks by Romney and Romney's Super PAC.
5. Where are the GOP voters?
Turn-out for these primaries has been well below that of the 2008 primaries. For instance, this year in Minnesota, around 50,000 people voted in the caucuses total. In 2008, John McCain had well over a million votes by himself. Republicans should be worried about an enthusiasm gap as November inches ever closer.
6. History hasn't repeated itself
The race for the Republican nomination has fractured along geographic lines, rendering past performances by candidates, chiefly Romney, moot. As mentioned, Romney followed a resounding 2008 win in Colorado with a loss in 2012, and a 2008 victory in Minnesota with a distant third this year. Santorum apppears to have the advantage with conservative voters in the Midwest and heartland, Gingrich with traditional Southern voters,and Romney with the rest of the nation.
Whether Romney can turn it around and pick up some of those heartland and Southern states on Super Tuesday will give us a good indication of whether or not he will end up with the nomination.

Slashin' fashion at the Golden Globes
HOLLYWOOD'S leading ladies put their best leg forward at this year's Golden Globes where thigh-high splits were the order of the day.
The leggy pose has been dubbed The Angelina after Angelina Jolie's similar stance stole the show at last year's Oscars and images of the star went viral.
At Sunday night's Globes ceremony, stars from Halle Berry to Heidi Klum were following the red carpet craze, which is also known as the Leg Bomb.
In a pink one-shouldered printed Versace gown, glowing Ms Berry left onlookers astounded that she is just four years off 50.
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria looked glamorous in a floor-length black Pucci gown with a lace top half and pleated chiffon bottom half. The dress was split to the thigh on the 37-year-old, showing off a pair of black hot pants underneath.
Model-turned-actress Klum oozed elegance in a white asymmetric thigh-split gown by Alexandre Vauthier, teamed with classy ankle-strap golden heels.

The slender star, 39, sent messages on Twitter throughout the Beverly Hills Hilton ceremony and later even snapped herself heartily tucking into some French fries.
But the show-stopper was 29-year-old supermodel Miranda Kerr who was accompanied by her British actor husband Orlando Bloom, 36.
The Victoria's Secret model looked sensational in a plum Suhair Murad gown despite breaking the cardinal fashion rule of showcasing both her legs and cleavage.
Does this Hollywood trend mean dresses split to the thigh will hit British high streets this summer? Time to shake a leg, girls.
