For all its excellent capabilities, as a software system uPortal can be a difficult beast to work with. In its role as a Portal framework targeting the JSR-168 Portlet Specification (soon to be JSR-286, Portlet 2.0), it's very nature is to combine with and aggregate independent software projects. It is also an integration platform: it commonly requires passwords, URLs, driver classes, and diverse configuration settings to communicate properly with external systems.
These responsibilities add complexity to the portal as a software project. It's challenging to manage the relationships between the uPortal software and it's dependent projects, especially Java Portlet applications, but also non-portlet components that form a deployment unit with the portal like Apache or Tomcat. The portal, moreover, commonly expresses itself in multiple environments: production, test, development, local, etc. These environments usually require different data, configuration, integration settings.
This page describes some coordinated practices designed to tame these complexities. These solutions are not the only solutions, and may not be suitable for everyone. All options have advantages & drawbacks.
Jasig Source Code
The first order of business is obtaining source code – uPortal, community portlets, perhaps others – from Jasig. Jasig projects are free open source software (FOSS) and can be easily downloaded by anyone. In fact there are many ways to get Jasig source code, and several things you can do with it once you have it. Not surprisingly, some approaches will put you in a better position for the future than others.
In choosing your methods, one of the leading considerations is how easy will it be to upgrade to future releases of uPortal and/or Jasig community portlets. The answer varies between institutions and from project to project, but always it gets dramatically harder as you apply more local customizations to Jasig source code. This trend applies no matter which practice(s) for managing Jasig source you adopt. But some local changes are unavoidable, and there are tactics that can help you manage these differences when the time comes to upgrade.
Vendor Branching
Vendor branching is probably the leading practice in software for addressing this class of problem. In essence, it's a strategy for harnessing & applying the differences between version releases of 3rd-party libraries in
svn merge operations. Vendor branching must be set up from the beginning, before you make any customizations.
The canonical setup process is as follows (Subversion):
- Create a space in SVN for vendor project foo at
- Import foo source code under
- Using
svn copytag the foo source using the current version name, i.e.
- Again using
svn copy, fold the foo source into your project, i.e.
Now you can make local changes to foo source code where necessary.
Later, you merge changes to foo from future releases using the following process:
- Checkout
/vendor/foo/current/and apply changes from the new release of foo;
svn commit
- Create a new tag for the foo source based on the new version name, i.e.
- Inside a checkout of
svn mergethe differences to foo between the first tag and the second
- Resolve conflicts (if any);
svn commit
The vendor branch allows you to apply the difference between foo 1.0.0-GA and 1.1.0-GA using
svn merge. The advantage of
svn merge is it's ability to reconcile these differences with local customizations automatically, provided there are no conflicts. Without the vendor branch, this process must be done by hand. This advantage is the upside of vendor branching; the downsides are in complexity & effort.
Vendor branching makes most sense when:
- You're likely to benefit greatly from the automated merge process (e.g. your customizations extend beyond configuration settings & added files)
- You don't expect to replace the vendor source (vendor drop) very often
- You have a team member who is comfortable with advanced SCM concepts
Subversion Externals Definitions
svn:externals feature is another good alternative for managing updates to Jasig source code. In a nutshell, this feature allows you to federate Subversion repositories: yours, and an external repository hosting 3rd-party source code (Jasig). This approach makes it very easy to change the version – even the revision – of the 3rd-party project that your local version is based off.
A good way to set up
svn:externals is as follows:
- Create an
ext/subdirectory within your project in your subversion, e.g.
svn adda file called
.externalsto this directory; specify the intended value of the
svn:externalsproperty within it
- From inside
ext/, use
svn propset svn:externals -F .externals .to set the
svn:externalsproperty based on the file
- Use
svn commit -N . .externalsto commit changes to the file and the
svn:externalsproperty of the
ext/directory atomically
Now if you perform an
svn update from a checkout of
myProject/trunk/ or the
ext/ directory within it, you will also get a copy of the 3rd-party source code pegged on the revision you specified.
Later, you can pick a different revision using the following process:
- Edit the
- From inside
ext/, use
svn propset svn:externals -F .externals .
- Use
svn commit -N . .externalsto commit the change
- Use
svn updatefrom
myProject/trunk/or the
ext/directory within it
This practice allows you to upgrade 3rd-party source code very quickly. In open source, this advantage is a major benefit since it makes it very easy to contribute bug fixes and uncontroversial enhancements to the project directly, then pull them into your project with a revision bump. This process supports a very tight feedback loop between the open source project and the organizations using it. The result is increased activity and a faster rate of progress on the project.
On the downside, this approach does not provide the automated merge capabilities that vendor branching does. In fact it does no merging at all; you have to bring additional tools & practices to bear for merging local customizations with 3rd-party source code. (See Project Overlays below.) Lastly, although putting your bug fixes & enhancements into the parent project first is elegant and greatly streamlined by this practice, it requires access to a project committer.
svn:externals makes most sense when:
- You expect to make few changes to 3rd-party source beyond configuration settings & added files
- You want the freedom to pick up bug fixes & enhancements rapidly as they happen in the community
- You are able to work with a project committer
Overlay Projects
You can use an overlay approach when you want to work with a pristine (unmodified) copy of 3rd-party source code, but you nevertheless need to apply some local differences such as configuration settings, additional files, skinning, etc. There's more than one way to do overlays, but remember that some overlay approach will likely be needed when you choose the
svn:externals strategy described above.
Maven Overlays
The Maven WAR Plugin provides baked-in overlay support for WAR projects. It's powerful, and relatively simple to implement. This approach allows you to manage only the file(s) you want to change, pulling in the bulk of project files directly from 3rd-party source.
These are the basic steps for creating a Maven overlay project:
- Create a
pom.xmlfile based on the project you'll be overlaying (you need to build the same way)
- Add the origin project as a dependency (must be
- Add to your project any file(s) in the origin project you wish to replace (must be same name & location)
- Add any additional file(s) your project needs beyond what the origin project has
- Use
mvn installor
mvn package(as normal) to build your project (the origin artifact must be in a visible repo)
You will see that, although your
src/ files remain as sparse as you made them, your artifact and your
target/ directory include the entire origin artifact, exactly as if those files were in your project directly. This is the default behavior for Maven overlays; many configuration options are available for fine-tuning this behavior to suit your needs.
This overlay solution is good when:
- Your project & the origin project specify the
warpackaging type
- You don't expect
pom.xmlfile of the origin project to change much (you have to keep yours mostly in sync)

And for the record, I haven't even always rooted for Hopkins to win all of his fights even though everybody knows I like Bernard and give him credit where I feel like it's due. I rooted for Taylor to beat him in the first fight, and even though I was more neutral in the rematch since I felt like Hopkins got ripped off I was still slightly pulling for Jermaine.
I even rooted for Calzaghe to beat Hopkins because Bernard's fight with Winky Wright really pissed me off and I thought Calzaghe put up a good performance against Kessler and it was a way better fight. But in the aftermath of the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight (regardless of me thinking Hopkins won it), my respect for each guy did a total 180 after Calzaghe went and fought Roy Jones and Hopkins did Calzaghe's heavy lifting by beating Kelly Pavlik.
And then after that, I couldn't for the life of me understand why Hopkins did the same exact thing that Calzaghe did outside of retiring and he even didn't beat Jones as impressively as Joe did. That totally lost me as a Hopkins fan just about.

THREE-quarters of Hampshire's primary school children are being taught at schools graded "good" or "outstanding" by Ofsted, the education watchdog has revealed.
Figures in the body's annual report show 64 per cent of Southampton youngsters are in schools given the top two rankings.
Nationally, the chances of being at a good school range from 90 per cent in the London borough of Camden, to just 42 per cent in Coventry.
Hampshire's delighted education chief, Cllr Roy Perry, said: "This demonstrates the quality of choice that parents have when seeking a school place in the county and is testimony to the hard work of teachers and staff from the county's improvement service."
Southampton's schools boss Cllr Sarah Bogle said she is pleased the position in the city is improving as a result of a heavy focus to drive up standards.
She said: "There's lots of real collaboration going on between schools working in clusters, sharing resources and good practices."

Compare Mazda Garages and Servicing in Chelmsford with Who Can Fix My Car.
I can only endorse the 5/5 feedback that Fabio has previously received. I made contact with regards to the replacement of cam belt assembly for my Audi TT. Fabio responded very quickly with a very competitive estimate. On the day, he arrived on time, carried out the work effectively, was more than happy that I watched (only out of pure interest) explaining to me what he was doing at various times. Once completed, he completely tided the area. We will certainly be contacting Fabio when our cars require routine servicing and/or other work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.
Big Thankyou to Fabio, replaced Cambelt on our Fiesta today, arrived as agreed and completed the work in a matter of hours. Very impressed with the service, which included changing the water pump and ancillary belt in the price quoted, unlike some other garages. All work completed at my home address. Fabio was also happy to discuss other issues I had with the car and suggested probable causes/solutions. Would definitely recommend Motortech, was also given a quote for a Full service on my Fiesta and will be using Motortech again in the future.
Great, friendly, professional service. Only took an hour or so to sort the problem and the final price was even just a touch under the quote. Would recommend.
Nice guy, convient as did at my house as couldnt get out. Honest and told me I didnt need new discs. Did a good job at a good price, will be using again.
Trading as Motortech Mobile Mechanic, Fabio can trusted to carry out the work & is very efficient at both quotes & when working on the job. Delighted to have found somebody like Fabio and he really does deserve 5 stars. Competitive pricing too.
Andy sorted out picking up and dropping off my car back to me once work was done, charged me less than originally quoted, cars running brilliantly, couldnt be happier. Will be putting my other car in to be looked at by these guys soon
Great service at a very reasonable price! Thank you Autobahn :-)
Great service and amazing customer service! The gentlemen did a cambelt change for my 2005 Ford Focus and also changed a few leads that needed changing, only charging for the part itself and nothing for the extra labour! They also have informed me on a potential future problem that will need to be looked at, at the next service! Great job at a very good price. I highly recommend!
Squeezed me in at short notice. Friendly and would appear to have done a good job. Final price included MOT
Very friendly and checked for other work that I thought might be needed. Collected my car and delvered back. Very good price (less than half main dealer quote). I will us them again.
Great mechanic
Fantastic service at a good price, could not wish for better, I do not need a garage when a garage comes to me!! Fab
Very professional, polite and was on time. Will definitely use again
Very helpful, very happy with price and able to contact any time with quick responses. Very happy with service thank you
Cheers Andy A1 service turned up on time completed job with no issues i would recommend andy to all people who need a top mobile mechanic.. the £85.00 was labour charge i bought the part myself
Fantastic service, Came out to my house the following morning. Arrived at 10am as agreed. Communication throughout with Rob was next to none. Fully updated to what was going on by phone. Will be using again if and when I need. Priced as quoted. Thanks Rob. Eddie S

Well, not really the road. More like a figurative road or path. I need to get back to blogging.
I'm a mess. I really am. I don't even know where to start, because there are like ten different places I could start at. I'm lonely. I'm exhausted. I'm frustrated. I want help, but I feel like it has to be an emergency to ask for it. I need a day off. I need to not be the one responsible for a few hours. I need some freaking help. I need attention. Companionship. To feel like I can just be with someone else, an adult, for a few hours, without hassling them.
I need time to pass so I can stop waiting for all these things. All these things I have no control over. Anthony is due home in a few weeks, so they say. We keep looking forward to it, all but counting the days (he's too busy, I can't count anymore) until this mythical day. And yet...it's scarcely three weeks off. And he still has no itinerary for the flight home. How much can I believe in this date? (Not much, being the military. I won't believe he's going to be here until I can see him) In the meantime everything gets post-poned. Things I want to do and see, because I just can't.
More things put off for the baby. Not that I begrudge him that. But there are so many things I WANT to do, I NEED to do, and I can't do them until something ELSE happens. And I have no control over that something else either.
I guess that's where I'm floundering. I don't want to be in control of everything. But I'd like to have some say in SOMEthing. I know alot of this is unfixable. I don't know if this is even a cry for help because there's only so much people around here can do for me. Is it me? Am I too afraid to ask? Are they too afraid to offer? When I hear myself asking for their time, I hear desperation. Because I AM desperate. For just a few minutes of time. After being the friend that no one put the effort into for so many years, it's very hard for me to go back on my commitment to NOT be the only one calling and suggesting we hang out and whatnot. What's wrong with me that I always have to be the one to make the effort? (A little less true these days, as I've mentioned I just don't feed into those relationships anymore. If you're not going to make the effort to strike up a conversation or call me sometimes with hopes of spending time together, then I'm not entirely interested.)
Now please don't take me wrong. I'm not trying to place blame anywhere but on me. I have had alot of trouble asking, because I feel like I should be able to give in return, and I don't know if I can right now. Whether it's money or what have you. I can't even see myself doing a kidswap because, well, I don't know anyone local with kids and it scares the hell out of me. I don't know why. It shouldn't, because I'm about to have two to look out for anyway. But then maybe that scares the hell out of me too.
Because even when Anthony does come home, will the fabled help arrive? How many fights will we have because he's expecting a break and family time and I'm expecting...what? HELP. Time to get away. To go see a movie, or get my hair done, or just walk around a store without chasing a toddler (who does NOT want to stand still and look) or listening to said toddler scream and whine because he hates being trapped in a stroller? Time with friends? Will they suddenly make time for me once I don't have to take the tag-along with me everywhere?
One of my biggest fears...is that he won't BE home. That it will be Texas all over again. He was working so many hours that it felt like he lived on the ship and came home a few nights a week, for a few hours, to visit. I don't know if I can handle six months of that, and then right when Dori is going mobile, he's gone again. Another summer alone. Another summer of things I can't go and do because chasing two around a water park alone sounds like the total opposite of a good time.
How many times will the cycle repeat? I'm scared to death of what will happen to us and our family, what little intimacy remains, what little friendship, over the next year and a half. I'm weeping even writing that but it's true. The navy is taking us for all we're worth, and I'm not just talking money. My god I would give back the bonus in a heartbeat if we could undo the re-enlistment. I would shoulder back under all that debt we paid off with it. I would give back the two cars and spend more time on the old one, yes the old ratty sentra with no AC, if I could have the next four years of our lives (starting 2011) back. If one more idiot rants at me about how we should stick it out ELEVEN more years (after the next five) for a shitty retirement that we can't even live on I will punch them. In the throat. (This includes you, Mr "We're very well off thanks to retiring, bought a house, I ONLY WORK HERE BAGGING GROCERIES AT AGE 70 FOR MY HEALTH". You can stuff it.)
This is the military divorce rate. It's not cheating spouses and work stress. Those things play part, but they are not at the root of it. It's dragging families halfway across the world every year or three, dumping them in a new place with no friends, family, or outside support, and then sundering that family even further by removing the service member frequently, for long periods of time. And then we're SHOCKED that there are so many broken families in the military? We were not meant to raise children this way. The amount of stress it puts on a family is absolutely staggering. And it's all a slow buildup over time. A pecking, a nudge, a piling on of straws. And you know what happens when you carry too much straw.
(Quick aside: Our marriage is as well as can be expected. We don't have any major issues between us, just an understandable lack of intimacy given our circumstances the past year +. We're nowhere near divorce or any such thing. Truly. We just need some well-earned time together as a family to knit ourselves back together again. Thank god he has a ton of leave saved up.)
Ok, I've had a good cry, calmed down a bit. Feeling pretty drained from writing this out. There's more, but I don't have the strength to type it just now.

You guys are strong, and you will withstand. You will soon have a new beautiful little boy to celebrate your love, and validate your intimacy - and when you look into his eyes together - all will be right with the world. Take a deep breath, and remember that you are loved, even if we can't be there, you're always in our thoughts and prayers. You are doing an amazing job of holding things together, and I couldn't be more proud of you! Nothing worth loving was ever easily obtained...

Ask Men survey gives us hope, defies beer ad stereotypes…mostly
When we read that AskMen.com had surveyed tens of thousands of guys about everything from sex to suits, we were a little nervous. Would the results indicate that men — at least, the ones who read AskMen.com — are exactly like the beer commercials say they are? We are pleased to report that our worst fears were not realized. Well, most of them. Forty-six percent of men said they'd dump a girlfriend if she got fat. But we're going to look on the bright side and focus on the 54% of men who wouldn't. Some other stats from the sex and dating portion of the survey:
- A pleasant 76% of men said they'd be unlikely to cheat on their partner, even if they were guaranteed not to get caught (half said it was because of their morals; the other half said it was due to the love and respect they had for their partner — we'll take either). By the way, this survey was done in conjunction with one on women over at Cosmo, and they found that although twice as many women as men have admitted to cheating on their partners, more than twice as many men would cheat on their partners if they could get away with it. So apparently women are just more confident in their ability to get away with it?
- If a male birth control pill became available, 68% of men would take it.
- 46% of men wouldn't change their penis size. (Okay, so 54% of men would change it — which means that anyone who sleeps with men needs to be complimenting their partner's penis a lot more often.)
- Asked how often a couple with a "healthy sex life" does it, only 10% said once a day; 12% said once a week; and 77% said multiple times a week. Oh, and 1% said "once a month" — see, there's someone out there for everyone!
- Alright, so maybe some of the stereotypes are true: 63% of men haven't had a threesome but would like one; 14% have already had one; and only 23% aren't interested, thanks. Hey, you can't always get what you want.

Given those constructors for Result, how will you decode a sequence lazily?

I deliberately left incremental results out of the attoparsec API, because it's a burrito-filled spacesuit of worms.

The problem is that parsers can nest and fail and backtrack and be, in general, arbitrarily perverse. For instance, if there was a "yield" action, I could yield you a 1, backtrack, then yield you a 10 from some completely different branch of the parser that neither I nor you could foresee.

Now, lazily parsing a sequence of data is a very common need, and it's also highly constrained, and hence easy to predict. It's also something that's easy to write without any access to the attoparsec internals. It would take just a few moments to write this:

parseSequence :: Parser a -> Lazy.ByteString -> [a]

I haven't added this to attoparsec because it's (a) trivial and (b) just one possible approach. Using iteratees would be another; running with a monadic action that can refill the parser on a Partial result would be yet another.

How can I make the caption on the slide show be at the lower portion of the slide and extend across the slide?
Hi elames,
Try adding this to your custom.css:
.slideshow_inner_caption {
display: table;
height: 100%;
padding: 0 10%;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
The first four declarations are default to the caption. I added the width so it stretches across the slide. You can adjust the padding to make the caption smaller height wise.
Thanks I pretty much figured it out myself, but the full width I had not got to yet.
IF you look here: http://millcroftfarms.com/
How can I decrease the Left margin for the caption. I don't want it spaced in that far.
The topic 'Slide show caption adjustment' is closed to new replies.

TGIF! Bet you're doing the happy dance cos its Friday...:-) Well I certainly am. The week has been quite hectic with University assignments and my final year project (Documentary on Marriage). So far so good with the planning. I start filming tomorrow if God permits. I'm interviewing my "kuku crazy" neighbour who's so funny. He has an opinion about everything. Can't wait!!
For the mean time, have you been hearing or reading about this "Horsemeat" News or better yet scandal going around? Basically some Supermarkets meat products like burgers and lasagne contains horse meat.! Likewise one of the fast-food franchise. Ever since this News got out, there has been some talks all around in the UK. Everyday there's something new about this issue on the news and today is no different. In the "Metro" today, a bird was discovered in a salad from one of this same Supermarkets. It has even emerged that European meat supply chains had been contaminated with horsemeat.
I don't know about you but when this news came out, I was taken aback. Won't lie sometimes I visit that fast-food joint. It's like my guilty pleasure. Don't judge me I know you probably do the same.;-)
Anyway its about time we advice ourselves. Ditch all this processed foods and cook everything we eat at home. Yea even Sandwiches!! That way we know what's going in our system. Don't you agree?
Thats it for me! Y'all have a nice evening and a blessed weekend. Stay outta trouble...haha! Take care and as always, thanks for passing by. God bless you.
DANKE viel mals (means thank you very much in German)....

A MAN has appeared in court charged with two assaults – one which left a man fighting for his life in hospital.
Keith Ronald Anderson appeared in custody at Hartlepool Magistrates' Court charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent, and causing grievous bodily harm on July 27.
The alleged offences the 27-year-old is accused of are said to relate to an attack on a 26-year-old man who is fighting for his life in hospital with serious head injuries.
He remains in a critical condition in James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough, after being attacked at around 4.20am on Sunday at a bus stop near Yates' wine lodge, in Victoria Road.
The second alleged offence is said to relate to an assault on a 24-year-old man near The Grand Hotel who suffered serious facial injuries.
He received treatment at James Cook University Hospital before being released.
Town justices adjourned the case to be heard at Teesside Crown Court on August 15.
Anderson, of Throston Grange Lane, Hartlepool, was remanded in custody until that time.

One guy calls his kids a mick-mock-mex: quarter-Irish, quarter-Jewish ("mock" was apparently a Jewish epithet) and half-Mexican. Someone who is part-Mexican, -Italian and -Polish calls themselves a Mexpotalian.
Other Latinos also joined the game. A half-Spanish, half-American called himself "spam," a Cuban Jew goes by Jewban, while a Peruvian from Minnesota describes herself as a Minneruvian. Meanwhile, a Puerto Rican from New York insisted thatdominicanos were half-Dominican, half-anus (ano is "anus" in Spanish). And a half-Indian, half-Jew wrote in at the last moment with his moniker: Gandhistein. But the final, wisest word goes to a full-bloodedgabacho:
How about an American, like all of us mutts?

Interview: Emma Dean's pop cabaret universe
Singer/songwriter Emma Dean, who hails from the city of Brisbane, has created her own unique, magical universe and established herself as "pop cabaret" performer. Her signature style of catchy alternative pop music and visual feast of imaginative costumes, make-up and theatrics has won over many fans – including the New York Post, who named her as "1 of 10 Artists to watch in 2011".
With her Cabaret Fringe Festival show in Adelaide approaching fast, Emma takes us through her quirky and creative mind.
You'll be performing your show Stripped soon. What was the process for writing the show like?
To be honest, it was a very backwards process. I had been hired to perform every week for three consecutive weeks at a wonderful Cabaret venue in Sydney called El Rocco. I wanted to make the shows low-key but still involve my "theatrical flair". I knew I couldn't afford to include any other performers so it needed to be a one-woman-show!
I had just released my new album Dr Dream and The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret so I had already rehearsed most of the songs that I wanted to perform. In the end it became a question of how I could string them together in an interesting and different way using just one person on stage – me! Remember, I'm used to performing alongside flamboyant physical-theatre performers, so I was feeling the pressure!
I decided the theme of my show would be about stripping back the musical layers and revealing the raw emotion and some of the stories behind the songs – all the things that are sometimes lost in a big theatrical production. Then on another layer I've incorporated a mannequin in to the mix who helps me with my costume changes where I literally "strip" on stage. Don't worry…no pink bits. Totally PG!
How did you decide which songs to include and which ones to leave out?
I always find this tough. But, the great thing about this show is that there is so much room for movement. The formula is set, so I can now add and subtract songs as I write them as long as they fit in to the four scenes/themes. In fact, my Adelaide show will be different to my Sydney show!
The shows and videos you create are visually striking and dreamy. Where do you get the ideas and inspirations for the costumes, make-up and the whole look of the stage/videos?
I am so lucky to be surrounded by an incredible creative community of artists, dancers, costume designers, make-up artists, actors, musicians and dreamers. Most of us work independently and understand the financial difficulties that sometimes exist in our chosen fields, so we often help each other out with various projects. Some of the artists I have collaborated with on a long term basis are: Angela White Costume And Couture (who made many of my film clip and performance costumes), Lia Reutens (who features in my "Something They Can Hold" video and is also an imaginary friend), Amanda Laing, Walter Davis-Hart, Giema Contini, Dale Thorburn and Jamie Kendall (who all act/have acted as my imaginary friends) and Jonny Williams (who has made two of my film clips), and Tony Dean and Ben Stewart (who have played in my band and recorded my albums).
Outside inspiration comes from all things magical. I've always loved Tim Burton movies. I'm fascinated in exploring the world where reality meets Gothic-fairytale-fantasy and the place where music and theatre meet and explode! This is the world I want to live in when I'm performing and creating.
How would you describe your distinctive 'pop cabaret' style?
To break it down simply, I'd say it's "piano-driven alternative pop music presented in a theatrical or cabaret style."
You were named as "1 of 10 Artists to watch in 2011" in New York Post. Apart from the size and competitiveness, what are your thoughts on the American market?
The American market is something I'd like to explore. I'd been working really hard in Australia for 9 years without much airplay (which is a shame) and then BOOM…New York came calling! After the New York Post surprise, my single "Sincerely Fearful" was in the US specialty radio charts top 15 for a month alongside the likes of R.E.M and PJ Harvey. Surreal.
I often wonder if America, due to its large population, has the ability to sustain an artist like me who sits outside the mainstream box. I'm not sure. But I'm going to go over and find out whilst having an adventure at the same time!
How did you discover cabaret?
I've always been theatrically inclined and have been interested in musical theatre since I played the lead in my high school musical. Cabaret was an obvious step for me. After working with a company in Brisbane called Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre, I became interested in performance techniques, which work on the power and energy of the body in performance. That's when I began to incorporate some physical-theatre actors into my show. It was a really natural progression. To listen to my music without seeing the visuals often doesn't seem like a typical cabaret experience, although, my songs and themes are clearly theatrical. For me, it's all in the live show!
Cabaret to you is….?
A medium in which the "others" of the underground have a voice…
What appeals to you the most about performing cabaret?
I love the feeling of being in a cabaret club where the rules of society have flown out the door. I love the freedom. Of course, it was not always like this for cabaret artists, especially during WWII. I feel very lucky to be able to express myself artistically to the fullest extent.
The biggest source of inspiration?
I'm so inspired by the people around me, particularly my friends and family. Some of my musical inspirations are Tori Amos, Queen, Wicked (the musical), Cabaret (the musical), Chicago (the musical), Kate Bush, Silverchair, Jacob Diefenbach and mucho mucho more!
The best thing about performing as part of the Cabaret Fringe Festival?
Being in Adelaide again for the first time since the 2010 Adelaide Fringe Festival. Being recognised as being part of a thriving musical genre that has SO much to offer. Seeing my dear friends and meeting new ones.
What's in store for you next?
I'm playing Sally Bowles in the next Aussie production of "Cabaret" with Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre! Then I'm planning some shows overseas! Can't wait.

Boutique Shelter Island Hotel a Stone's Throw from Crescent Beach
There's not a single traffic light on Shelter Island. It's a sign of the leisurely pace that prevails across this 27-square-mile stretch of land, which is situated on the east end of Long Island. Where the streets end, you'll find Mashomack Preserve, which acts as a sprawling refuge for hundreds of bird species. There are miles of quiet beaches here, too; they're all sparsely populated by anglers and sunbathers. La Maison Blanche is located steps from Crescent Beach, and the hotel makes it easy for you to enjoy this peaceful natural setting.
After arrival, you're free to take out complimentary bicycles from the concierge. You can use the bikes to meander past historical estates on secluded side streets, or pedal into town to check out antique shops and art galleries. Once you're back at La Maison Blanche, you can lounge on a covered, wraparound porch, play bocce ball on the hotel's two courts, or take a nap poolside. In cooler weather, cozy up by the fire with a glass of wine.
The hotel's eight guest rooms overlook meticulously maintained flower gardens. When New York Times travel correspondent Donna Paul stayed in the king-size room, she lauded its 165-square-foot bathroom as "like being in a grand private home."
In the morning, you can gather around the hotel's wood fireplace or on the porch to enjoy French-style pastries that were baked on the premises. La Maison Blanche also houses a brasserie-style restaurant, where Chef Charles Le Tous uses local organic ingredients to enhance traditional French dishes such as duck confit ($28) and moules marinieres ($16).
Shelter Island, New York: Coastal Wilderness Refuge and Victorian-Style Houses
Shelter Island is located on the east end of Long Island, New York. Nearly one-third of Shelter Island is set aside as Mashomack Preserve, which has 2,100 acres of meadows, salt marshes, and oak forest. You can pass through the preserve only on foot, but it's fine to take it slow here—you might spot ospreys or snowy egrets that often roost along the refuge's 10 miles of pristine coastline.
Walking through Shelter Island Heights—located 4 miles away on the island's west end—can feel like stepping into an idyllic past. Queen Anne– and Victorian-style houses and storefronts line the quiet streets, and historical residences such as Havens House feature period furnishings and antique fishing equipment. After exploring the town, step into a harbor bar, where you can dine on freshly caught lobster, scallops, or striped bass.

There's so many good post in this Thread ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) that point-out the real issues on our Knicks team .... except the one above.
We have not played 48 minutes or 24 minutes of team-defense since the first 6 games of the season when we started Brewer/Kurt and finished with Sheed/Novak .... when Brewer were taken out of the starting-lineup we had a 23-10 record. We were on our way to define the best offensive-lineup and best defensive-lineup to use during crunchtime games during a time-out for stops or scoring.
We are 49 games into the season with 65% of our games being close games in the 4th quarter, and coach Woodson has not established a defensive-lineup to use for a stop in crunchtime. We have been playing small-ball all season to establish chemistry, which isnt working when small-ball best success is with uptempo transition players (run run run), not halfcourt peremeter shooting offense.
Non taken KIYA I'm not sure our hot start had anything to do with Brewer being a starter, I think our great start was more a function of great team shooting to begin the season. Everyone said we couldn't keep shooting that well from 3 and for sure we cooled off. It's hard to have Brewer on the floor in end game situations because of his poor shooting. The man couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat

Olympics 2012 Opening Features All Things British
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, the country's most famous spy "James Bond," music from Pink Floyd and the Beatles and "Mr. Bean" were all part of Friday night's opening ceremony of the London Olympics masterminded by filmmaker Danny Boyle, and attended by Mitt Romney.
Daniel Craig, or James Bond, was seen parachuting into the Olympic stadium with the 86-year-old Queen in a short film made by the Oscar-winning director as part of the $42 million show, involving 10,000 adult volunteers and 900 children.
"Good evening, Mr. Bond," the film shows the real queen, clad in a gown, as saying when she meets Bond, who is wearing a black tuxedo and reaches Buckingham Palace in a black London cab. A helicopter then flies the two over the capital city to the stadium, and both jump out.
Their leap into the night sky in the film was synchronized with the real time skydivers over the stadium filled with about 72,000 people. The queen showed up at the stadium with her husband Prince Philip just then.
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Romney, who ran the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has attended all the games since then, also attended the opening ceremony in London.
Romney had earlier suggested that London didn't seem ready for the games. In response, British Prime Minister David Cameron said that "of course it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere," alluding to Salt Lake City. Romney later said in interviews that he was "very delighted with the prospect of a highly successful Olympic games."
Also present at the ceremony was the Duke of Edinburgh. After the queen and members of the royal family took their seats, the Kaos choir of deaf and signing children sang two verses from the national anthem.
The ceremony also showcased Britain's health care system, featuring hundreds of staff of the National Health Service.
To ignite the Olympic cauldron, seven teenage athletes had to just touch flaming torches to tubes, which promptly spread into a ring of fire and rose up to form the cauldron. Fireworks then begin as music from Pink Floyd was played.
The crowd also got a chance to sing "Hey Jude" with Beatle Paul McCartney. And when Rowan Atkinson, or Mr. Bean, was shown dreaming that he was in "Chariots of Fire," taken from a story of the 1924 Paris Games, the crowd laughed in unison.
More than 200 nations are taking part in the 17-day sports event involving about 10,500 athletes, most of whom took part in the parade of nations. The last team to march was from Britain, and that's when a helicopter dropped 7 billion tiny pieces of paper, corresponding with the world's population, over the athletes and the stadium.
"The Ceremony is an attempt to capture a picture of ourselves as a nation, where we have come from and where we want to be," Boyle said in a statement earlier. The director of "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Trainspotting" said he wanted to tell the country's story through numerous volunteers who "are the purest embodiment of the Olympic spirit and represent the best of who we are as a nation."

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Tacos Pepitos Bakery Restaurant Review: "El mejor lugar para comer," reads the sign at this low-key take-out place, and the cooks inside mean business: it is one of the best places to eat if you hunger for tacos and immense orders of pozole, menudo, chilaquiles, mole poblano, and steak- and pork-based dishes. But take a cue from the name: towards the back of the store, you'll find bins of freshly baked sweet breads, rolls, coffeecakes, and fat crumbly cookies. Most people seem to drop by for a carry-away meal, but the place also has a few chairs up front, where folks congregate to chat and eat. Prices are so low that you can afford to order meals for a houseful without emptying your wallet.

The beautiful clear Egyptian sky in the background and the immensity of the sphinx makes the policeman on his camel look very insignificant indeed, standing there with 4000 years of history before him.

Have you tried your hand at art journaling yet? This paper art medium is becoming "all the rage" (according to Katie, the Scrapbook Lady.) Basically, you can start with a blank journal page and layer your artwork on it. You can use mixed media: paint, bits of ephemera, journaling, text, drawings, fabric, metal, and even photos if you like. You can even use your scrapbook supplies. Begin with a theme if you prefer. The great thing about art journals is that you decide what goes in it. Whatever suits your fancy. There is no pressure to create a perfectly designed graphic layout for publication. This is for you and for fun. Often people will alter an old book and use those pages as a base for their artwork.
AZ Central says the following about the history of altered books:
"Although altered books are gaining popularity, the idea is far from new. According to the International Society of Altered Books, 11th-century Italian monks used to recycle old manuscripts by scraping off the ink and adding new text on top. The practice returned during the Victorian era as a way to show off family pictures, recipes and newspaper clippings, and in recent years it has emerged as a low-cost alternative to the growing scrapbooking industry."
Here are some inspiring art journal pages from some of our favorite celebrity scrapbookers:
Carol Wingert shares a new page from her art journal here.
Donna Downey has been doing a lot of experimenting with painting. You can see her art journaling results here.
Ali Edwards shares images from her art journal here. One, "Karma" is shown at left.
Elsie Flannigan shares some pages of her art journal here.
Celine Navarro has been working in mixed media longer than she has been scrapbooking. You can see her art journal pages here. We're showing one of Celine's pages above right – this one she created for Jill Haddaway's journal.

The Results Are In: Recast "Sex and the City"
The Results Are In: Recast "Sex and the City"
Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!
This week's recast challenge was the most exciting recast ever, by far! It was so much fun reading through over 100 comments, though this also made it the most difficult recast decision to make. There were so many fantastic recast lists, but I did have to choose just one.
However, almost all of the lists submitted included actors who are younger than the ones from the original cast when "SATC" first started. Thus, the winning recast list does include younger actors, though, with a couple exceptions, they're mostly younger by just a few years.
As for individual castings that I loved, some of my favorites included casting Tina Fey as Miranda, Will Smith as Mr. Big and Elizabeth Banks as Carrie, though I was impressed with many of the other ideas as well. My personal favorite, however comes from cherryblossom! To see who cherryblossom picked, along with a new cast photo,
cherryblossom's cast:
Carrie — Rachel McAdams
Miranda — Claire Danes
Samantha — Rebecca Romijin
Charlotte — Anne Hathaway
Mr. Big — Pierce Brosnan
Steve — Carmine Giovinazzo
Harry — Jack Black
Smith — Chad Michael Murray

Bader suspended, revelation about Lawton's car
WTAQ has suspended radio personality Jerry Bader for two weeks, starting Monday, for a podcast he did saying an extra-marital affair forced Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton from the race for governor. Bader retracted the statement the next day when Lawton denied the story.
Lawton, apparently dissatisfied with Bader's punishment, lashed out at the entire city of Green Bay.
And, she adds, residents need to be held accountable for how their community is perceived. Lawton says Bader's comments brand Green Bay as a quote, "provincial backwater."
"Because Mr. Bader has branded the Green Bay area with his inflamatory rhetoric and homophobia and racism as a provincial backwater. And the Chamber of Commerce and community leaders and the station ownership and people who advertise on that station ought to be greatly concerned about the economic impact that that has."
Lawton avoided discussion about a possible lawsuit, and says the whole episode is even more "vivid" for her because Green Bay is her home town.
Meanwhile, WISC-TV is reporting the curious case of vandalism to Lawton's car in a secure parking structure in Madison before her campaign for governor began.
Lawton's private car was vandalized at her Madison home about two and a half months before she first said she'd run for the Democratic nomination for governor if Gov. Jim Doyle bowed out.
Madison police said that a window on Lawton's Buick Regal was smashed out on June 23. The incident was reported to police by her husband Charles, or Cal. The incident took place in the security-locked parking garage below her home at an East Side condominium building.
Police officials said that at the time of the report, there was no information about any possible suspect or who could have committed the vandalism. The incident was reported about 10 a.m.
To give you an idea of just how important the Lt. Governor is in Wisconsin, when the crime reporters in Madison looked at the logs last June, didn't it occur to them that the "Lawton" on the report might be, you know, that one?
Meanwhile, Tim Morrissey* wrote about the Jerry Bader he knew (Ht: Dad29). As I pointed out previously and as Morrissey confirms, Bader really is a product of the news industry that we're supposed to be able to trust. As much as some are trying to make some point about "talk radio," the real issue still is Bader's credibility and the sources he trusted.

The New York Times reports that the National Endowment of the Arts has delayed making a decision about funding two arts organizations that are sponsoring potentially politically sensitive works. One of them, Berkeley Rep, is hosting a production of Homebody/Kabul, the latest play by gay author Tony Kushner (Angels in America), which is opening off-Broadway in a separate staging in December. While Angels in America generated protest in some regions for its criticism of Reagan-era AIDS policy and explicit discussion of gay sex, Homebody/Kabul--about a British woman who disappears in Taliban-era Afghanistan, which Kushner wrote well before September 11--seems a less likely target for controversy. "It's a great play on a topical issue, and we at this point have no grounds to believe that our application [for $100,000] would not be approved," said Susan Medak, managing director of Berkeley Rep. The grant applications have been put on hold by acting chairman Robert S. Martin, with the final decision being left up to incoming chairman Michael Hammond, whose nomination was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions last week.
In a move leading some to fear that the NEA is returning to its Reagan-Bush era policies of shunning gay art, former NEA chairman William Ivey rejected a grant application by out director Arthur Dong (Coming Out Under Fire) for Dong's latest film, Family Fundamentals, about three families with adult gay children. While the application was recommended by the NEA's media arts panel, Ivey's move kept it from even being considered by the National Council on the Arts, which would have in turn brought it to the NEA chair. Family Fundamentals will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) was in 2013 deprived of GH₵140,776.30 meant for development projects, according to an interim forensic audit report done on the pharmacy department of the hospital.
The audit, which covered the period between January 2012 and December 2013, was in response to allegations and reports of misappropriation of funds at Korle Bu, Ghana's biggest referral hospital.
A draft report of the audit, of which Myjoyonline.com has copy states that 'revenue per Turnover Report in Persol [the accounting software] stood at GH₵7,343,524.37 as against revenue banked and used in preparing financial statements of GH₵7,202,748.07a difference of GH₵140,776.30'.
Auditors' review of transactions at the 24 Hour Pharmacy of the hospital, for instance, showed that only GH₵65,600 out of a total of GH₵194,535 purchases made at the pharmacy was accounted for.
'Our examination of daily sales summary showed direct refunds being made at the 24HR unit for medicines purchased by clients totaling GH₵77,191.61 and GH₵53,383.29 in 2012 and 2013 respectively, without prior approval or involvement of the Accountant', the auditors noted in the summary of finding and recommendation.
Accountants also failed to enter the transaction into the appropriate books hence a discrepancy of GH₵400,663.52, GH₵96,638.86 in 2012 and 2013 respectively, according to the interim audit report.
The 29-point summary of findings pointed to many instances of dereliction of duty and neglect of procedure, remarking in one occasion that 'there are no operational manuals moreso, none of the staff [at the pharmacy] has ever received any training on manual handling'.
The Pharmacy Department of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital as at noon Tuesday was closed as staff protest a directive to three of their colleagues to proceed on compulsory leave.
The directive, contained in a letter signed by Board Chairman Eddie Annan, named the three persons- Stephen Corquaye, Raymond Tetteh and Eric Kyei – all union leaders and asked them to take a vacation to allow for the forensic audit to be conducted at the department.
The three had earlier accused the acting CEO; Rev Albert Botchwey, the board chairman, Eddy Annan and the entire management of the hospital of stalling activities at the pharmacies including taking over the procurement of pharmaceutical products.
Staff of the hospital are also said to be gearing up to force the acting CEO of the Hospital, Rev. Albert Okpoti Botchwey out. They claim Rev. Botwe has refused to hand over the office of CEO to the Head of Medical Affairs, Dr Samuel Asiamah, despite being directed to do so by former Health Minister Sherry Ayitey.

I had a blast speaking at the launch events for Office and Vista. In Atlanta, I spoke about Connected Systems and showed off the DinnerNow.net scenario. In Houston and Dallas, I was privileged to deliver the keynote for the developer breakouts, showing "Office and Vista: Better Together for Developers."
Ron Cundiff has posted a wrap-up of the Dallas launch event with some excellent pointers to resources.
Some more resources, just in case our talks sparked your interest… ThreeWill is the partner that delivered the Better Together demo in Atlanta, and even put together a scenario that shows a walkthrough of the Accruent demo for those of you who really are trying to describe it to your coworkers. You should also check out this Channel9 video that shows the Accruent demo (especially those who wanted to see the rest of Ron's demo-that-just-wouldn't-cooperate).
Due to some level of procrastination on my part, I begged for help with the demo portion of the Better Together talk, and received some amazing help. Mike Benkovich was kind enough to drive the demo for me in Houston, and Ron Cundiff pitched in to drive the demo in Dallas. Both did an excellent job, in my opinion… thanks, guys, for giving me some time over the weekend to spend with my kids rather than rehearsing demos. Not to mention that I think people wanted a break from hearing me speak for 40 minutes straight and wanted to see some demos.
One of my favorite parts of going to events like this is the chance to re-connect with members of the community that I have known for awhile. Getting to see Paul Ballard (of TheServerSide.net fame!) in both Houston and Dallas was a kick… I loved what Paul did with TSS and love to read his blog as well. I also got to dig a couple of anti-VB jokes at Cory Smith, who incidentally knows more about Media Center than I thought humanly possible. I also got to meet several other MVPs, such as Jeff Griffin (another MCE expert), and several others who I talked to but only briefly.
In case you are wondering why I didn't broadcast that I was speaking at these events in advance… I really don't think it's a good idea to publicly announce when I am not going to be at home 🙂 That, and yet another dose of procrastination on my part.

It was the day all the ninjas of Konaha finally had their graduation they are going solo from now on at least that's what they all thought.
"I can't believe I am saying this but I am going to miss you two so much!"Ino yelled while running up to Shikamaru and Choji to give them a big hug.
"What a drag...I guess I will make sure we stay in touch"Shikamaru said smiling a little.
"YAY! Best friends forever!"Ino said giving Shikamaru another big hug.
They all smiled and gave each other another huge group hug.
"I have to admit it I am going to miss you two knuckle heads."Sakura said with a smile
Sasuke had finally come back to Konaha when well since he met Sakura's sister,Sasha, they fell in love in a insistent,Luckily Sakura was way over Sasuke and wasn't really crushing on anyone yet.
Sakura hugged Naruto and Sasuke.Then it was group hug time and of course Sasuke didn't want to join,Sakura and Naruto had planned this so they were prepared.
Naruto grapped Sasukes legs while Sakura roped them.They dragged Sasuke and stood him up again and they forced his arms around them.They laughed while Sasuke of course was very angry.
"SORRY I'M LATE!"Yelled Kiba as he was running with the oh so huge Akamaru by his side.
Actually Kiba and Akamaru were running too fast.
Kiba ended up hitting Hinata causing her to hit the ground.
They stared at each other red faced but then they both started laughing still kiba on top of her it was awkward but funny.
On the other hand Akamaru ended up on top of Shino,They were right beside Hinata and Kiba.
Akamaru had a nervous look on his face afraid he made Shino mad.
Kiba and Hinata could feel the tension and looked over and they too started having nervous faces.
Then the most unexpected happend Shino smiled and chuckled a bit.
Everyone started screeching in laughter and Akamaru was licking Shinos face.
"My youthful friends I will miss you all!" Rock Lee said looking like he was bout to-...nope he just started breacking down crying.
"Aw Lee don't worry I will make sure we all stay in touch." Tenten said while running up and giving Lee a hug.
"Please my friends lets have a youthful group hug"Lee said while opening his arms nice and wide for Neji to join in.
"No I don't care how much you bage me I am not doing a stupid group hug..."Neji said glaring at his two old team mates.
"Oh come one Neji its not so bad besides this is graduation you'r supposed to be happy!"Tenten said giving Neji a glare back.
"Fine..."Neji finally gave in and hugged Tenten and Lee.Causing Tenten and Lee to get huge smiles while suffocating Neji a with a huge hug.
"Gather around everyone!"Yelled Iruka.
When everyone finally settled Iruka gave all of them a amused smirk witch caused everyone to give him a confused look.
"Well things are a bit different this year. We have found that if we put a couple on a mission they will be more protective and cautios while causing them to have a better chance of surviving."Iruka said smirk still on his face.
Naruto raised his hand.
"Yes Naruto?"Irukas asked.
"But most of us are single."Naruto said with a confused look.
"Well that where I was getting,Naruto...Anyways me and all of your other sensais and teachers have been watching you for a long time and we all have a good idea who would and wouldn't be perfect for each other..."Iruka said giving a huge amused smile.
"Wait so what your saying is your gonna pare us up with someone you THINK would be perfect for us and then hope that we get along and don't kill each other?"Shikamaru said while raising his eyebrow.
"Well...no...fine yes but I don't care how much you you all complain with your pairing you will have to do it anyways."Iruka said while glaring at Shikamaru Oh he is so going to get pay back thought Iruka while giving an evil smile.
"And for the people who are already in a relationship?"Asked Choji.
"Well everyone that is in a relationship will be with that person from now on with every mission they go on.In fact I would like everyone that's is in a relationship to come forward and let me know who and I will have someone contact them and let them know."Iruka said as he looked at his list.
Choji,Sasuke,Shino and Rock lee stepped forward.
"Alright Choji who is your girlfriend?"Iruka asked.
"My girlfriends name is Shelly Nara" Choji said with a big smile.
Shelly was Shikamarus sister she had gone onto a mission and for years after awhile Shikamaru finally told Choji about his sister they met while eating dinner and completely ignored Shikamaru so he left.They becamed a couple quikley.
"Alright Sasuke how about you?"Iruka asked again.
"My girlfriends name is Sasha Haruno..."Said Sasuke in his normal deep tone.
Well you know the story about the two.
"How about you Shino?"Iruka said
"My girlfriends name is Hana Inazuka."Shino said quietly.
Kiba had introduced his sister to Shino,she started flirted with him and next thing you knew they where together.
"Ok,last but not least what about you Lee?"Iruka said releived.
"My girlfriends name is my beautiful youthful Hinabi!"Rock Lee said.
Well I bet you are wondering how THAT happend well Lee forced Neji to introduce him to his little cousin.So when he did Hinabi thought he was funny so they got together since she was only 2 years younger then him.
"..."Iruka was speechless and had a face that was priceless.
After awhile Iruka cleared his throte.
"Well Choji,Sasuke,Shino and Rock lee you may either leave or stay and wait till you'r team's are done with their new lovers"Iruka chuckled.
All of them decided to stay thinking it would hilarious to see who everyone got paired up with.
"Alright as for the rest of you the pairs were chosen by Kurnari she usually is the best match maker anyways so here are the pairings:
Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzimaki...
Hinata Hyyuga and Kiba Inazuka...
Neji Hyyuga and Tenten...
Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka...
"WHAT?!" Screeched all the girls unison.Except Hinata she just sat there face turning shades of red.Along with the other girls faces as well where turning shades of red.
Naurto grinned a huge grin.
Kiba smirked a little.
Neji looked nervous.
"What a drag"Said Shikamaru.
"Anyways as I was saying you all will be paired on any mission you go on.But first we know that you are used to the 3 men squids so we are going to let you get used to just being the two of you.You will all stay in some cabins in the forest for two weeks now I want you all to go pack you leave tomorrow at 9 pm. sharp! Iruka said sighing.
Instently all the pairing scooted away from each other a little.
"U-um w-why are we g-going s-so late?"Hinata asked shyly.
"Well its better to go at night because well we just love to torture you..."Iruka said with a smirk.
"How is that torture?"Kiba asked.
"Oh sorry I must have forgotten.Did I mention you will be sharing a bed with you'r partner?"Iruka said with a sly smile.
"NOOOO!!!!!"Screamed everybody all the girls screamed and started running around in circles along with the boys who where still screaming while rolling on the ground freaking out...yes even Shikamaru and Neji.
While in the back Sasuke,Choji,Shino and Rock lee where laughing there butts off.
"QUIT!"Screamed Iruka.
Everyone became quite and stopped what they where doing.
"Gosh how did you all become ninja in the first place if you are so scared of sharing a bed."Iruka said get irrataded.
"Alright you all are dissmissed"Iruka said sighing and staring at the students...no ninjas.
Sasuke and Shino left.
Rock lee and Choji ran up to there old team mates.
"I am so happy for you! You all shall have such youthful babys!Yelled lee causing Neji and Tenten to run up to him and cup his mouth with their hands.
All the supposed to be couples blushed many shades of red.
Ino ran and grabbed Hinata Tenten and Sakura and ran off.
Naruto grabbed Shikamaru,Neji and Kiba and ran off with them.
The girls ran to Ino's house and sat in a circle in her room.
"So what do you girls think of the person you are paired with?"Ino asked.
"Well...I have a crush on...someone else..."Tenten,Hinata and Sakura said together.
"Oh wow...do you think we should try and give them a chance?"Ino asked.
"Well I think Naruto likes Hinata..."Sakura said with a sad face.
"I think Kiba likes Ino..."Hinata said also looking a bit down.
"I think Shikamaru likes Temari..."Ino said looking down a bit jelouse sounding.
"I truthfully have no clue who Neji likes"Tenten said looking confused.
"Well how are we supposed to give them a chance if they all like different people?"Sakura asked.
Thats when Ino snapped her fingers.
"I GOT IT! Ok so we need to meet up in the forest when Iruka and everyone else leaves,We convince the boys into a game of truth or dare then we all ask do you like so and so...what do you think?"Ino said.
"INO YOUR BRILLIANT!"All the girls yelled and hugged her.
"I know"Ino said laughing.
To the guys...
"So what are we gonna do?"Naruto asked.
"We got to think of a plan to see if they like anybody."Kiba said
"This sucks...maybe we should just ask the girls?"Neji said.
Everyone glared at Neji.
"Or not..."Neji said glaring back
"Why don't we bring it up in a random conversation like,um just be like so do you like so and so anymore?"Shikamaru said looking up at the other guys.
"Guess that would be good"Naruto and Kiba said.
"That was basecly what I was talking about..."Neji said while glaring at the others.
That night Ino called Shikamaru...
Ring Ring Ring...
"Hey Shikamaru,it's Ino...I was wondering if I should bring food or not you know just in case?"
"It's ok I got everything handled with food,you know just in case..."
"Oh...well thank you..."
"Don't sweat it."
"So...what do you think of this whole thing?"
"Can we talk about this later it's getting late and I need to finish packing..."
"Oh right m-me too...um bye sya then..."Ino said while hanging up the the phone before Shikamaru could say anything.Truthfully Ino was pretty nervous and was trying to make it less awkward...didn't work out so well.
Shikamaru sigh,gosh just talking to Ino is messing me up... He thought to himself
Naruto decided to call Sakura feeling a little bad to put Sakura in this situation...
"Hey Sakura...It's Naruto..."
"Oh hey Naruto whats up?"
"Well...if you want I can pack an extra blanket and pillow...so you know we don't have sleep in the same bed..."
"Aw Naruto it's fine we have to do it anyways,besides if we don't we need to get used to it..."
"Oh, ok...right...well guess I better go pack sya tommorow..."
"Okay sya..."
That is when Kiba decided to call Hinata...
"Hey Hinata it's Kiba..."
"O-Oh hey K-Kiba..."
"I was wondering do you have any idea of what they might make us do?"
"W-Well I d-did ask K-Kurnai-Sensai but all s-she said was it is a s-secret..."
"Oh...well thanks for trying...I got to got bye Hinata-Chan."
"Bye Kiba-kun and call me Hina-Chan..."
"Okay! Bye Hina-Chan!"
Tenten called Neji...
"Hey Neji its Tenten..."
