In an interview with US television network CBS, Mr Blair said the change in Washington had been mirrored by a similar "sense of change" in the troubled region, citing the recent defeat of Hizbollah in Lebanese polls and the election of women to the Kuwaiti parliament.
He said the dramatic death of 27-year-old Tehran protester Neda Agha-Soltan, captured on video and viewed by millions online around the world, had become "the face" of the "younger generation of people in these countries" who believe "there is the chance now of a new partnership with the west".
He also spoke of the difficulties for western leaders in responding to protests in Iran, comparing the situation to Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe. In an apparent defence of President Obama's handling of the Tehran crisis, Mr Blair said opposition demonstrators would "completely understand that he's trying to manage a situation in which he obviously is… supportive of them, but doesn't want to end up in a situation where his attack on the regime is then used as a reason... to act against them."
Asked by CBS News host Katie Couric whether President Obama's election had influenced the unrest in Iran, Mr Blair said it was hard for Americans to "see it from the outside perspective what... a revolutionary change [Obama's election] was."
"Before the American election, you know, large numbers of leaders in that region said to me, "There's no way they'll elect Obama. It just won't happen. America won't do that.' And then it does. And then they say, 'Hmm, that's interesting.'
"And, for the people… particularly his speech in Cairo, which I think... has… had a really, really significant impact. Then you see the election in Lebanon... with Hizbollah pushed back. You see, in Kuwait, for example, an election recently, the first women members of parliament being elected. You know, right round the region there is a sense of– of change. Tough challenges and tough decisions abound. But, for the moment, that sense of hope, that spirit of possibility is there."
Speaking specifically about Iran, he added that "even if the regime manages to suppress this expression of popular will now, I think its roots have gone down and those will bear fruit again in the future."
Mr Blair was asked about the inquiry about the run up to the Iraq war, and whether these hearings should be made public. He said, "I'm questioned about Iraq in public the whole time. I have been for years. But the important thing about the inquiry is it's actually about the lessons learned."
He also claimed success in handling the NHS in response to a question about President Obama's plans for changes to the United States health care system. He said health was "one of the very biggest issues around 1997, around 2001, and then suddenly not so much. And I think that's a consequence of the of the system having improved... pretty radically, actually."
Mr Blair also stuck to his guns regarding his support of President Bush and his position on Iraq. He said: "I always made it clear I believed definitively that after September the 11th, we had to take a completely different view of the security threat that we had. And we had to act. And we had to be prepared to stand up and fight for what we believe in."
Blair was asked, via Twitter, if the world's general impression of the U.S. has changed after electing President Obama. He responded that it had "given people a fresh look at America in a different way. That's a positive."
In response to a question about MPs expenses he avoided answering, saying: "I've learned that anything I say is. taken down and used in evidence against me in terms of interference in UK politics."

Stress is nothing but the way you react to an external stimulus that disturbs your state of equilibrium. In simple words, stress is an integral part of life and it is often regarded as a silent-killer.
When your body undergoes stress, it triggers the "fight-or-flight" response, causing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol to surge through the body. This response is unhealthy and is one of the reasons why we fall prey to harmful diseases related to the heart and brain.
Stress disables your daily activities, especially in your office and social commitments. When the body is stressed, the mind fails to work. The brain is welcomed to rapid changes which make it difficult for the body to cooperate effectively.
To get rid of this disastrous feeling within 60 seconds, follow some of the remedies which work wonders to get rid of stress. These simple stress relievers when put into use, pacify the brain and the nervous system allowing the body to calm itself naturally.
When you are frazzled at work, try out 60 second tricks to reduce the stress levels. It is important to keep stress at bay, especially if you are an alcoholic or a smoker.
60 Seconds stress relievers:
Scented Candles
Inhaling the aroma of scented candles is one way to get rid of stress in less than 60 seconds. Room fresheners too are an ideal choice. This kind of aromatherapy helps control the stress hormone and thus reduces the level of stress in the body.
Take A Walk
If you are bogged out and stressed, take a walk. This simple remedy lowers the heart beat and naturally calms the entire nervous system in less than a minute.
Breathe Deeply
Breathing deeply is also a perfect way to eliminate stress in the body. Practice yoga for 30 minutes everyday to keep stress at bay. This form of exercise strengthens the immunity and keeps other diseases at bay.
Sip On Green Tea
Green tea contains properties which help calm the two hormones related to stress. Sip on warm green tea to soothe your tensed mind. Green tea also aids in weight loss, and it is a healthy beverage for diabetics.
Relax The Shoulders
Try this 60 second stress reliever: Stand straight, with two feet together. Now, lift both shoulders up to your ears. Inhale deeply through your nose and pause as you exhale through the mouth. Drop the shoulders back down vigorously to shake off the tension/stress. Repeat this exercise five times till the body is at ease.
Warm Water To The Rescue
Sip on warm water to help calm the stressed nerves in the body. Warm water aids in soothing your rapid heart beat which prevents a heart attack.

Ziggs Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read this guide. Please make sure to read the majority of the guide before voting, because there will be many useful explanations. This guide is more focused towards a higher level of play and therefore can be used in ranked play as well. It will work amazingly in a normal match, but I designed the guide to focus on the role you will be playing in a ranked game. Either way, this guide will help anyone.
I decided to make this guide because I was disappointed in the other Ziggs guides since none of them really made the best use of your gold and really focused on the key points. This guide will hopefully teach you all the steps towards not only getting a good k/d, but bringing your team to victory.
As for myself, I've had great success with this build and the strategies I reveal within the guide. I've bought Ziggs from the start, enjoyed him and found him well balanced. I've played lots of AP casters and have been playing for over two years. Not to mention I have a lot of ranked experience.
Thanks, and best of luck!
Pro's and Con's
[*]Somewhat squishy
[*]Extremely mana-hungry
[*]Needs to stay back in teamfights
[*]Weak 1 v 1 for a caster

Holiday Events Offer Seasonal Opportunities for Exercise
Your social calendar is packed with holiday soirees. There are the cocktail parties, office must-shows, family get-togethers (and, if you're Howard, a whole lot of getting tanked and watching football). Every other waking hour is devoted to gift-hunting. So when do you squeeze in a gym visit? You probably don't.
But there's no need to resign yourself to a Santa physique. In the second installment of the Holiday Challenge's "12 Days of Doing Something," I present three more ways to make your December world a workout wonderland.
Mall Makeover
Take, for instance, all those hours you'll be logging at massive shopping centers. You could circle around the parking lot until you find a primo space, target stores in the most direct possible fashion and then pig out at the food court. Or you could handle mall visits the MisFits way, with the help of Nathan Stormer, area fitness manager for Bally Total Fitness. He's brimming with fat-burning ideas.
For starters, park at the far end of the lot. You'll still have plenty of time inside to hear that Christmas Muzak, but this way you get in a few minutes of fresh air and the chance to use open space. Stormer suggests that you make the trek with walking lunges or side squats. It looks a tad silly, but as he explains, "Any time you move in a lateral motion, you burn more calories."
Once you've made some purchases, any movement is going to be more effective because you're holding weights. "The primary thing to remember is that shopping bags are a kind of resistance," Stormer says. Use them for biceps curls, overhead presses or lateral raises while debating whether your mother-in-law would really enjoy that birding book. Waiting in line? Stand on one leg and pump the other leg back, knee bent or straight, to engage your glutes. Points deducted for kicking the shopper behind you.
Between each store, try taking a lap around the level. Think of it as window shopping with benefits: You're on your way to racking up serious mileage.
When it's time to take a break, shield your eyes from Auntie Anne's and find a bench instead. But don't just use it to plop your butt down. Start with triceps dips. Hold on to the bench's edge while sinking your rear below the seat, and then press up. Or flip your body around, place your hands down and go into elevated push-ups and plank pose.
You're worried about stares, right? No need, apparently. When we tried this routine out at the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, other shoppers just passed by on their merry way. (Although management did swoop in to advise us that the benches were not built to be used as exercise equipment. So be careful and don't get them too sweaty, okay?)

I joked to my bf that I have a doughnut diet - when I walk by doughnut shops while out running errands, I only buy one if they have French Crullers. More often than not, they don't have any (sometimes not even old fashioneds!) so I don't buy (or eat) a doughnut. If they do have one, I'll buy it as a treat, since we rarely ever get doughnuts.
However, it makes me wonder if the French Cruller is not a popular type of doughnut so they don't make as many as glazed? Or are they so popular they sell out early in the morning and the shops don't make more? Or is it just not as cost effective to make them, so they're produced only in the morning and not throughout the day like with the regular doughnuts?
Anyone know why my favorite doughnut isn't as available as the others?
ps - it's not really a successful diet, as there are plenty of other treats I enjoy, but at home and when dining out. =)

Like all non-profit organizations, the Kamuela Philharmonic relies not only on the generosity of donors and concert-goers, but also on our volunteers. As we enter into an ambitious season and a new era for our orchestra, the need for volunteers has never been greater.

Joining the Volunteer Guild of the Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra is a great way to get involved in a rapidly growing performing arts organization dedicated to improving music education and the arts on the Big Island of Hawaii.
One does not need to be a musician to appreciate the benefits of a strong performing arts scene to the community, and a passion for the arts can be expressed through more than just concert attendance.
With our search for a new Artistic Director recently completed it's never been a more exciting time to be involved with the Kamuela Philharmonic.

Early Thursday morning, the entertainment world took a slow, deep breath as the nominations for the 2015 Academy Awards were announced in Los Angeles.
Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel scored big with 9 nominations each, while American Sniper and The Imitation Game each received 8 nominations.
Soon after the announcement, those artists nominated for the prestigious award were quick to share just how excited they are.
Read some of their statements and tweets below:
Julianne Moore:
"I am over the moon-actually I am on a plane, flying over the United States. My old friend Bruce Cohen was the first to reach me to tell me the news. I can't believe that I have gone from doing plays in the 8th grade with Bruce Cohen, to him texting me 100 years later to tell me about an Oscar nomination. I feel so lucky and proud to be in the company of the other talented actors who were nominated today. My heart is beating so fast!"
Eddie Redmayne:
"I'm so incredibly honored to be recognized by the Academy, and even more thrilled to share this honor with the entire family of filmmakers, cast, and crew of The Theory of Everything. This role was a once in a lifetime experience. Congratulations to my fellow nominees, thank you to the Academy, and thank you most of all to Stephen and Jane Hawking."
Benedict Cumberbatch:
"I am knocked for six by this. So excited and honoured to receive this recognition. It's wonderful to be included by the academy in this exceptional year of performances. To ring my parents who are both actors and tell them that their only son has been nominated for an Oscar is one of the proudest moments of my life."
Emma Stone:
"Well, this is surreal. I am completely knocked out. Thank you to the Academy for this incredible honor. I am very proud and lucky to be a part of Birdman and can't believe it came to this. I am so f–king excited. Are you allowed to say f–k when you're making a statement for the Oscars? I'm just really f–king excited."
J.K. Simmons:
"Wow. This is pretty darned cool. A guy doesn't think about things like this when he starts doing summer theatre in Bigfork, Montana in the 70's. In fact, I didn't think about this when we shot Whiplash but here we are. I'm ecstatic that our little movie is nominated for best picture, and equally thrilled that Damien, The Boy Wonder, is being recognized for his work. Richly deserved…"
Thank You @TheAcademy for the #Foxcatcher nomination! Honored and humbled. Thanks @channingtatum @SteveCarell and Bennett Miller. The best.

Perseverance: An Artist's Journey Through Darkness
May 18 – June 30, 2017
"This show is my visual interpretation of surviving a deep depression, working through it and emerging from it," says Tammy Updegrove, artist and creator of the exhibit Perseverance: An Artist's Journey Through Darkness.
"Life is full of tough times," Updegrove says. "Sickness, abuse, grief, physical and mental pain. So many things we cannot control."
Through the use of collage, mixed mediums, photography, mosaic, and acrylic paint, Updegrove tells a story that begins in a dark depressive state, travels along the path of self-forgiveness and mindfulness, and ends at a destination of a new, whole, and healthy body and mind.
"Each piece is a part of my journey," Updegrove explains. This journey began in September 2014 with dark, large scale pieces. These pieces were created in a holistic manner: "Throwing paint, dripping and splatting techniques, and immersing myself into the paint. Using the feel, smell, and sound of the paint splashing the canvas, watching the colors mix, were part of my escape from stress and worry."
Throughout the exhibit, Updegrove showcases many pieces conquering negative self-talk. These pieces of positivity were created with pen and ink, colored pencils, charcoal, graphite, acrylic paint, and mixed mediums to create detailed, gentle reminders of love and self-care.
"Some of my work, like the acrylic painting of my feet stuck in the sand, was created to remind me to stay connected to the earth. It was a time when I felt a real loss and disconnect with people," Updegrove says. "When I glance at it, I remember the feel of the warm sand on my feet. Grounding myself to the real world helped me to keep going until connections with people were healthy and safe."
Perseverance will feature interactive components that Updegrove hopes to provide a safe, non-judgmental zone for observers to try their hand at art projects of their own.
"My cause is to share some coping skills that worked for me, with the hope of helping someone else," Updegrove explains. "I strongly feel that as a human race we need to have a healthy outlet to express ourselves. Anyone can benefit from using art as a coping skill."
The exhibit runs from May 18 – June 30, 2017 at the Yocum Institute for Arts Education, 1100 Belmont Avenue, Wyomissing, PA 19610. The opening reception for the exhibit will run 5:00 – 7:00 PM on May 18.

As a young girl growing up in Arlington, it probably served Randi Richardson well that her baby-sitter knew as much about Dr. Naismith as she did of Dr. Seuss.
The baby-sitter could teach her the crossover dribble as well as "The Cat in the Hat." As it turned out, her baby-sitter was Kayla Burt, a former star basketball player at Arlington High and now a guard for the Washington Huskies. "She's my total inspiration," Richardson said. "She'd give me advice. She taught me so much about basketball, dribbling, fundamentals. She was my idol growing up."
The baby and the baby-sitter who shared the same neighborhood and love for basketball have grown up to establish themselves as two of the best players the community has produced. Burt was one of the top players in the country coming out of high school in 2001. She finished her high-school career with a 20.9 scoring average and set school records for points (2,241) and three-point field goals (226).
She also set Arlington school single-game records for points (45), free throws (17), field goals (14), assists (11), steals (11) and three-point field goals (7), and season records for points (685), free throws (192), field goals (210), three-point field goals (73), scoring average (27.4) and steals (116).
Richardson, a 5-foot-6 junior, 5 inches shorter than Burt, is putting together her own legacy. She is averaging 17.8 points through six games, third in WesCo. She had been the conference's leading scorer until she was held to seven points last Wednesday by Marysville-Pilchuck.
She remembers how, two years ago this week, she had been "so shocked and scared" when she heard the news that Burt had suffered cardiac arrest. Burt's Washington teammates were instrumental in keeping her alive and quickly called for medical treatment. Burt was hospitalized for a week and eventually had a defibrillator implanted in her chest.
Her playing career was believed to be over, and she was a student assistant coach last season. But last summer she decided to return to the court and this season is the Huskies' leading scorer.
Richardson has gone to see Burt play once this year, but they didn't talk at length.
"I'm still really shy around her," Richardson said. "It's like talking to Michael Jordan."
"Randi really looks up to Kayla," Arlington Coach Corey Gibb said. "That desire to play and achieve success is there for both of them."
That desire also doesn't end on the court. Richardson has a 4.0 grade-point average and is ranked No. 1 in her class of nearly 400.
"She's a great student, great basketball player and even a better person," Gibb added. "She volunteers at sports camps. She officiates games at the Boys & Girls Club. She goes to nursing homes to visit the residents, a bunch of stuff like that. I can't say enough positive things about her."
Richardson showed her scoring prowess back in eighth grade when she averaged 30 points a game for her middle-school team. For Arlington High, she averaged 16 a game as a freshman, then 22.5 points last season. She's doing it against defenses designed to stop her.
"That's pretty impressive," Gibb said. "She makes really good decisions. She worked hard during the offseason in evaluating her game. She's one of the hardest-working individuals I've ever been around."
What has helped Richardson develop into a more all-around player is some special instruction and high-caliber play of her Seattle summer team, Emerald City.
"The best thing I've come to realize is to take what's given to you," Richardson said. "I get a lot of box-and-one and double-teams, so I don't get a lot of open shots. I've learned to draw in the defense and dish it."
Richardson's biggest challenge is helping her team qualify for state. She has been part of a rebuilding program since Burt left. Arlington was 3-17 her first season and 7-13 last year. The Eagles are 4-2 this season.
"Being as competitive as I am, it's tough losing," Richardson said. "It has been real difficult to take. It's not anything you enjoy. But seeing the improvement every year makes you feel like you're accomplishing so much. And I think it has made me a better well-rounded player to be on a team that has struggled."
Richardson's long-term goal is to play Division I basketball, and she's generating interest. Dozens of schools have sent letters and made contact with her. Her parents and coaches are screening the process.
"I try not to think too much about it," she added. "I don't want that to affect the way I play."
Gibb added: "Whoever gets her, they're going to be really lucky."

Technology allows people to connect with anyone, anywhere – but as you can imagine, not every country and culture uses it in the same way, at the same frequency or to the same magnitude. How does each country compare in its use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT)? And is there a direct connection between technology use and that country's social and economic prosperity?
Finding the answer to that question is the goal of the annual Connectivity Scorecard study. This year's index will identify which countries are the most "usefully connected," and will continue to reveal how and why ICT affects every single one of us. Fifty countries have been studied, compared and ranked, providing valuable information for the telecommunications industry.So that everyone can learn about the results simultaneously, we are holding an event at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., this Thursday, May 5 – including a discussion with Professor Leonard Waverman, the leader of the study. And we will share all of the happenings via videocast with anyone wishing to participate. Don't miss this opportunity to learn the newest findings of the Connectivity Scorecard index. For more details and to register for the event, please click here.
For updates on the study, follow @connectivitysco on twitter and join the conversation on the Connectivity Scorecard Facebook page.

Ethiopian tanks were rolling south yesterday through Somalia for a final showdown with the hardline Islamists driven from power in a 10-day military offensive.
As the army convoy headed towards the southern port of Kismayo, the last stronghold of the Islamic Courts Union (ICU), Ethiopian fighter jets flew overhead. The Somali interim government and its Ethiopian allies have stated that they aim to crush the Islamic movement, which took control of much of southern Somalia.
Hundreds of people have died during the campaign, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross, and more fighting is expected. A Somali government soldier said the Islamists – accused by Addis Ababa and Washington of being backed by al-Qaeda – had laced the highway from Mogadishu with mines as they pulled back.
The ICU's leaders, pushed from power in Somalia by Ethiopia's lightning offensive last week, have warned that they will wage a bloody guerrilla war against the government. Since the capital, Mogadishu, fell to the Ethiopians and the government on Thursday, leaders of the Courts have been regrouping in Kismayo, which is still under control of Hassan al-Turkiye, a hardline Islamist leader.
Al-Turkiye is a leading figure in the ultra-fundamentalist Shebab movement, which was positioning itself to take full control of the ICU before the Ethiopians' advance and which is linked to Osama bin Laden's terror network.
At his stronghold in Kismayo, less than 90 miles north-east of the Kenyan border, al-Turkiye is providing a haven for the Courts' most radical elements to regroup and plan for their next moves.
Already they have said their flight from Mogadishu, which they had controlled since May, was merely a "tactical retreat" before "the next phase of our struggle".
"You think that Islamic courts have failed and the Ethiopian invaders have won in Somalia? I tell you within days everything will be changed," Sheikh Mohamed Ibrahim Bilal, the Islamist commander, said. "I assure you that the Islamic forces are everywhere in the country and you will see the forces operating within days. What we will do is hit and run. We will ambush their convoys everywhere in Somalia."
Many fear that his comments herald a switch in direction by the Islamists, from controlling Somali territory with the objective of running the country under fundamentalist Sharia law, to an insurgency campaign against the interim government and Ethiopian and Western interests.
Al-Qaeda agents, said by Washington to be responsible for the 1998 suicide bombings of the American embassies in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, planned their attacks from terror training camps close to Kismayo, security sources said, and an Iraqi group with ties to al-Qaeda – the so-called Islamic State of Iraq – has called for increased support for what is left of the ICU.
Some diplomats in the region fear that Ethiopia's offensive may have increased the threat of a guerrilla campaign of terror attacks across the Horn of Africa.
"Ethiopia has to finish its stated mission of crushing the Islamists or else its offensive will have had the opposite of the desired effect of increasing stability," said a senior Western security official.
"If they give the Islamists the breathing space to re-arm in a new stronghold, it raises the very real chance they will switch to a campaign of terrorist attacks the like of which Ethiopia, and the West, had so urgently sought to stop."
Matt Bryden, a Somalia expert with the International Crisis Group, said that Ethiopian troops were unlikely to leave before driving the ICU out of Kismayo. "The transitional federal government must act quickly to bring all sides to the negotiating table, otherwise you face the statelessness, warlordism and disorder which were there before.
"The Islamic schools, the clerics and their networks are all still there and their social, economic and religious agenda remains intact."

Tingala Sa Baba Trailer (2011)
"The ups and down of true friendship." 11 June 2011 Comedy 12 mins
In a typical playground, life plays a game of irony when two 8-year old kids are on a seesaw. One is a rather hefty child from a well-to-do family who is stuck at the bottom, whereas a lanky child brought up in poverty is on top. Rich kid is looking up to the poor boy, who in turn, is looking down on him. How will the rich kid reverse their positions? The answer to that question will make one realize that friendship is more valuable than money, while the other will discover his true worth as a friend.

Seemingly fully recovered from her breakup with Justin Bieber, the gamin actress reprises her Wizards of Waverly Place persona of bratty Alex Russo in this reunion TV movie that drew nearly six-million viewers when broadcast on the Disney Channel in the U.S. last week. The story ships Alex and the entire Russo clan (minus series regular David Henrie, aka Justin Russo) off to scenic Tuscany to meet long-lost relatives. Before they can even unpack, Alex inadvertently whips up a spell splitting her into Good Alex and Evil Alex! The inevitable showdown between good and evil atop the Tower of Pisa is pretty spectacular. Open this photo in gallery: 2 of 5 DRAMA The Next Step (Family Channel, 7 p.m.) What does it say about the current state of Canadian television when the best new homegrown drama this season is aimed at teen viewers? Launched a few weeks back, this smart series from Toronto's Temple Street Productions uses a reality-TV format to tell the serialized story of an elite group of young hoofers scrambling for a spot in the "A-Troupe" of dancers at The Next Step Dance Studio. Principal players include Emily (Alexandra Beaton), the group's dance captain and requisite bad girl; wide-eyed new arrival Michelle (Victoria Baldesarra); and Giselle (Jordan Clark), a former A-lister now demoted to the B-team. Beyond the terrific dance sequences (all the kids are real dancers), the premise consistently drops the characters into realistic scenarios. Tonight, Emily convinces naïve Michelle to spy on another dance squad in advance of a competition, and danged if she doesn't get caught red-handed. Open this photo in gallery: 3 of 5 REALITY Fashion Star (NBC, 8 p.m.) Talk about going from rags to riches. Recently returned for a second season, this show allows amateur designers to flaunt their fabulous creations before a judging panel comprised of designer John Varvatos, former Paris Hilton BFF Nicole Richie and Jessica Simpson. One fashionista is sent home each week and the last one standing receives a lucrative deal with a major fashion retailer. And naturally the contestants are put through the standard battery of challenges. In tonight's new outing, the designers are tasked to create a garment that will flatter every body type imaginable. The muumuu is back, baby! Open this photo in gallery: 4 of 5 COMEDY Malibu Country (ABC, Citytv, 8:30 p.m.) Launched to surprisingly strong ratings last fall, this old-school sitcom starring country diva Reba McEntire is a sure bet for second-season renewal. The premise casts the sassy redhead as a country-music star named Reba–what a stretch!–who dumps her no-good husband, loads up the truck with her two kids and relocates the entire dang clan to Malibu. Support characters include the airhead neighbor Kim (Sara Rue) and Reba's free-spirited, pot-smoking mama, Lillie Mae (Lily Tomlin). In tonight's first-season closer, Reba is shy about diving back into the dating game, so her family secretly lists her with an online dating service. Y'all come back now, hear? Story continues below advertisement Open this photo in gallery: 5 of 5 MOVIE Just My Luck (W, 9 p.m.) Despite what you may have heard, there was a time when Lindsay Lohan was a movie star and she's the main attraction in this frothy romantic comedy that came and went from theatres in the blink of an eye back in 2006. Lilo plays the precocious Ashley, who has lead a charmed existence with a great clothes, classy friends and a promising career. While attending a masquerade ball she warms to the handsome loser Jake (Chris Pine) recently fired from his minimum-wage job at a bowling alley. As shooting stars streak across the sky, the opposites smooch and presto-chango, their fortunes are interchanged. Suddenly Jake lands a great job and scads of cash, while Ashley becomes chronically unemployable and is even arrested by the cops. Who says art doesn't imitate life? Report an error

Increasingly, it seems to me that life may have improved for a narrow segment of the UK lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) population, but not for the majority. In some ways, for a large proportion of us things are worse now than they were 15-20 years ago.
I get tired of newspaper articles that make out that the gay 'scene' in Manchester used to be so seedy and bad years ago, but now it is so wonderful. It just isn't true.
Take this article from 2003 which appeared in The Manchester Evening News — a newspaper that can be relied on to regurgitate hype about gay Manchester (just check out contradictory figures in the Evening News for attendance at Pride over the past eight years).
Here the Evening News quotes Iain Scott, owner of Taurus bar and restaurant in Canal Street who says:
"The last 10 years have seen the biggest evolution," says Scott. "It has gone from three, maybe four, venues to over 30 venues in the Village Business Association."
There may only have been a handful of venues around Canal Street. But if he is suggesting that there were only three or four in the whole of the city centre, then that is not true at all.
I moved to Manchester in 1982 and in the early to mid-1980s there were the following gay bars and clubs in Manchester city centre:
Stuffed Olives, High Society, No1 Club, Manhattan, Rembrandt, Dickens, Napoleons, The Union, New York, Heros, Archway, Thompson's Arms.
A quick look at a couple of issues of Mancunian Gay magazine from the time shows some others that I don't remember. The November 1983 mag lists: Why Not? on Ashton New Road and the Egerton Arms Hotel on Gore Street. The May 1984 issue lists Shadows on Union Street (later called El Cid). The June 1985 issue includes Paddys Goose on Bloom Street.
I make that 16 pubs and clubs. Not 'three or four'.
'Him Monthly' August 1983 issue lists a leather/denim night every Friday at the Wheatsheaf pub on Camp Street (would you believe?) and there was the Poly gay disco also on Friday nights. And let's not forget the Bloom Street Cafe and Gaze bookshop and Clone Zone which were also on Bloom Street.
There were two gay bars that we used to go to in nearby Stockport: The Baker's Vaults and the New Inn.
In those days, gay bars and clubs were almost entirely gay. There were no straight boys looking for a fight and no shrieking hen parties. On the whole, people were not on drugs and it was rare to see anyone drunk and incapable. It was really quite civilised and fun. You could enjoy a night out without worrying that you might have your face punched in or drink spiked.
Yes it's true you had to knock on the door to get into some places. But that kept out the trouble-makers. These days they are inside the pubs and clubs.
In the 1980s some of the places were in better parts of town: Stuffed Olives and Heros were on the other side of Deansgate to Kendall's department store. Manhattan was in Spring Gardens and No.1 Club was near the town hall. In fact, far less 'seedy' than Canal Street is now.
Many venues were gay owned and run (unlike today). There may be double the number of venues that claim to be 'gay' now. But I reckon there are fewer gay men and women out on the scene now than there were in Manchester 25 years ago.
This isn't just because everywhere is now 'mixed', but also because older gay people aren't welcomed by and don't 'fit in' to most places in 2006. Meanwhile, many gay youngsters reject what the scene offers and can socialise perfectly well without it.
Years ago, it really was like a family. You would see senior citizens in The Rembrandt and The Union alongside 18-year-olds. Out on the scene we had friends of all ages and some of the older ones were almost like aunt or uncle figures to us. We valued their experience and advice and enjoyed their company. They cooked meals for us (poor students) and threw the best parties in town.
But where do older people go in the wonderful gay village now, Evening News? Do tell… That public community has broken down and everyone is poorer now because of it. I would say, in general, there is more ageism, sometime bordering on age phobia (everyone aged over 35 is a paedo — it's a well-known fact!) and perhaps fewer mixed-age relationships because those are less accepted ('what will my mates think?').
However, off the scene, mixed-age LGBT friendships are still very much around. Some of my dearest friends are aged in their twenties. But we rarely meet or do anything on Canal Street. If the gay village, scene and Pride don't welcome everyone, what is the point of them? Are they a force for good or bad?
The old magazines also list a number of gay groups that met and there was the Gay Centre in the heart of things on Bloom Street.
The 1982 and 1984 issues list two clinics in the city centre area where you could get a sexual health check up. Compared to one today. In those days you could actually walk in and see someone immediately without having to wait up to six weeks for an appointment as you have to now.
Out, proud and very visible at the Pink Picnic 1990. It was held on a public footpath next to the Dovestone Reservoir at Saddleworth. No fences, politicians, marketing people, police or permission. All the money collected went to good causes.
And as for people not being 'very proud to be seen' until the gay village became over-commercialised and full of straight people in the mid 1990's, with bars like Manto… What a travesty of the truth: tell that to the thousands of men and women who walked around the city centre (not in front of friendly crowds) and then packed Albert Square for the Section 28 rally in 1988, the Liberation '91 march, or who took part in the Walk For Life every year.
They were out and proud on the streets. By comparison, how much courage does it take to go to a 'mixed' bar where you can pretend to be straight if anyone sees you there?
What is there is to be so proud of now? It's all about money, youth, alcohol and hairless gym bodies. Our (non-political) Pride event excludes people who can't afford to pay and the binge-drinking, drug-taking, self-destructive culture which it promotes results in many actually ending up with HIV and needing a lifetime of expensive combination therapy.
Above: raising money to help the fight against HIV and AIDS at a jumble sale on Canal Street, Manchester, August Bank Holiday, 1990.
Which makes a mockery of the relatively small amount that Manchester Pride raises for charity. In 2006 people with HIV were actually charged to walk in the Pride parade.
Currently, the gay village is something to be ashamed of, not celebrated. We have let big business and the City Council destroy the community that we once had.
Meanwhile the same people are behind this blatant rewriting of history because it suits them and their business purposes.
As for Iain Scott's suggestion that in the 1950's 'all' the buildings in the Canal Street area 'were derelict', this isn't true. In a recent episode of BBC's 'Who Do You Think You Are?', featuring David Dickinson, he revealed that in the 1960's he worked in a building on Princess Street opposite the New Union. There were lots of businesses operating in the area.
Photo 1: from 1963, a shot of the site where Clone Zone stands now on Sackville Street. There are two neat little shops that are open for business. On the far right of the block is what is now Napoleons (then a restaurant) and beyond it a church which stood where the Bloom Street car-park is today.
Photo 2: The Rembrandt in 1962. The shoe repair shop next door was still there thirty years later.
Photo 3: this picture from 1973 shows a restaurant in the building that is now Thompson's Arms.
Photo 4: a cafe and a couple of other businesses at the junction of Sackville Street and Major Street in 1962. This is the street that is between the CIS building and Bloom Street car-park.
In all, a thriving area I would say and probably with a wider variety of different businesses than there are now.
UPDATES: small additions were made to this article on 5 September 2009.
If you want to take part in Manchester's annual gay pride parade this year you will have to pay £50 + VAT. No, this isn't a fee for businesses — they already pay more than £1000 to be in the parade.
It is a charge for every non-profit group and individual. Whether you are unemployed, disabled, poor, retired, have HIV, you will have to cough up more than fifty quid to walk through the streets of Manchester and celebrate being lesbian or gay.
When I saw the report in this morning's Independent newspaper, it took my breath away.
It is bad enough that the cynical, money-focused people who run this event these days, fenced off the gay village and introduced an entrance fee back in 2003. In 2006 that entry charge is up 50% for many people, from £10 to £15.
But this latest stunt has to be the final straw. The signs are that they are selling fewer tickets each year. Money raised for charity in 2005 was the lowest figure since 2002. They seek to mislead the public over their costs.
It's time for everyone to boycott Manchester Pride and force a change and go back to the roots of this event.
I believe that the biggest threat the gay community in Britain faces now, comes from the people who dream up schemes like this. Those who seek to make money from us at every opportunity. They are only interested in people who can pay.
The current organisers have completely lost sight of what Pride means.
How is it that other sections of the community in Manchester can hold parades and events that are free? But when it comes to the gay community we are told we must pay tens of thousands of Pounds in costs for security, street cleaning etc.?
Why is it that the gay village has to be fenced off with a high entry charge because it is serving alcohol, when alcohol can be served at other outdoor events in the city centre which are not fenced off?
If the City Council can tweak the byelaws to block off public roads in the gay village for a whole weekend, how come it can't tweak the laws that relate to alcohol?
This is discrimination 2006 style. The gay community can be beaten and threatened into paying this money by businesses, the Police and Manchester City Council — all of whom say Pride won't go ahead unless we agree to their terms (just look back to what happened in 2002 when the event was almost cancelled).
No other section of the community in Manchester is being hit in this way.

missed out on the reprint =/ reprint again!!
This is the shirt that I was the most amped up about ever in this site, I still dig the concept and think it's amazing but it came out rather dissapointing in reality, the silver\grey color is a massive bummer (like many colors that are just not right on shirts here) and the placement could be better aswell..
It's kinda half empty because the whole thing is too much on the side.
If it was possible (I know it ain't) I'd pay double just to have this on a white shirt with a better placement beacuse the shirt is grey and half empty and it makes it look too simple, like something you go to sleep with…
This shirt is PERFECT! :D
registered just to get this, and now L is sold out :<
Reprint Medium again please!!!! :)
agreed it is purely fantastic and NEEDS TO BE REPRINTED SO I CAN ORDER A MEDIUM
Pleasee reprint smalls D: first time i got on this website i was like
"I have to get this shirt". You should just reprint like 1000 of these and just keep them in stock
NEED to be reprinted !
i need to grab myself a large.
reprint pleease
PLEASE REPRINT! need a women's medium.
I missed the reprint. XXL men please
A reprint of XL would be great!

Convert the tests that are related to derby error stream properties and functionality.
Seems to be these two tests:
Issue Links
- is related to
DERBY-3202 'AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission C:\....\file-2.log read)' in ErrorStreamTest.
- Closed
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
This patch removes the old lang/errorStream.java and lang/logStream.java tests from derbylang.runall, so they will no longer be run as part of the old harness testing. I have not removed the test code.
A new test, ErrorStreamTest, is added that runs in the JUnit framework.
Feeling that this test didn't really belong in the "lang" suite in the first place, I've created a new suite named "engine" for this test and added this suite to the AllPackages suite that is run as part of suites.All. I don't have any strong feelings about where the test really belongs, but from my limited knowledge of the testing this seemed to make most sense.
The new test runs only in the embedded environment. When I ran it in a networkServer environment it failed with a problem that I logged as a new Jira DERBY-3170. I don't think the bug will have a high priority so I've submitted this version of the test running only in the embedded environment so it will not fail.
The test contains a number of static fields, do they all need to be static? Static fields will lead to problems and are not typical in JUnit tests, each test fixture(testXXX method) is an unique instance of a class so either instance fields should be used or even better just pass the information around. E.g. the setUp method will be called for every fixture, so there's no real benefit to storing information in fields since they will not be shared across fixtures.
Can you comment the reason the test doesn't run with a security manager.
Thank you for looking at the patch, Dan.
I've now uploaded a new patch (3156-diffv2) with the following changes, based on the comments:
I looked at the use of static fields. A few fields have to be static for the test to work (code accessed by Derby in a static context), but there shouldn't be any static fields now that don't have to be.
I had postponed making the test work with a security manager, and forgot about it when I submitted the patch on Friday. I've looked at it now and believe I have it working with the security manager the way it should.
I added 10 different wrapper-methods for the doPrivileged stuff related to accessing files and redirecting System.err. I guess some of these might be useful enough to move to BaseTestCase for reuse in other tests, but I left them in ErrorStreamTest for the time being.
Hi Vemund,
The patch generally looks good. A couple of comments/questions:
1) Do the original tests run with the client driver? It seems to me they don't, so I think it's okay to run the new test only in embedded mode.
2) I think it would be good to null out the fields when the test has completed (in tearDown()) so that the objects they reference can be garbage collected.
3) Instead of using File.deleteOnExit(), perhaps it's cleaner to delete the files explicitly in tearDown()? Seems that it would also remove the need for the runNo field.
4) I'm wondering if this code
+ new File(getSystemProperty("derby.system.home") +"foo",
+ makeStreamFilename("file")).getCanonicalPath()); // erroneous path
would be more robust if it was written as
new File(new File(getSystemProperty("derby.system.home"), "foo"), ...)
As it is now, I think it depends on derby.system.home ending with the path separator character.
Thank you for the comments Knut, I've uploaded a v3 of the patch that addresses your comments as follows:
1. I don't think it has run with the client driver before, it would have failed with the same bug that I hit.
2. The fields are now nulled out in tearDown().
3. The files are now deleted directly in tearDown(). I haven't removed the use of the runNo field, somehow it gives me a warm feeling knowing that the filenames used are unique, so that the chance of one of the tests passing by accident is less (The correct setting for the property carries over from a previous execution or the file wasn't deleted and was accidentally there with the correct name, etc.). So, I've left the use of the runNo field as it was.
4. I've changed the code as you suggest, I agree it is more predictable.
Thanks for updating the patch, Vemund.
I tried to run the test standalone, but then all test cases failed with errors like this one:
1) testDefault(org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.engine.ErrorStreamTest)java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/derbytst/system
/method-1.log (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:179)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:131)
at org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.engine.ErrorStreamTest$9.run(ErrorStreamTest.java:502)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.engine.ErrorStreamTest.newFileOutputStream(ErrorStreamTest.java:499)
at org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.engine.ErrorStreamTest.openStreams(ErrorStreamTest.java:360)
at org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.engine.ErrorStreamTest.setUp(ErrorStreamTest.java:100)
at org.apache.derbyTesting.junit.BaseTestCase.runBare(BaseTestCase.java:95)
If I first run another test and don't delete the 'system' directory, it works fine. Seems like openStreams() requires that the database directory exists.
The method deleteFileOnExit() is now unused and can be deleted.
Perhaps the assert methods that throw IOException would have been simpler if they had thrown Exception instead? Then we could skip the try/catch+cast. The PrivilegedActionException will be linked to the IOException, so we will still get the stack trace, and if someone changes the code so that we can get other exceptions than IOException, we get the original exception instead of a ClassCastException.
Thanks again Knut, made a new patch and hope it works better now. It had worked standalone until I made the last change in the previous patch, of course...
Also removed the deleteFileOnExit() method.
About the IOExceptions I'm not really sure. This:
public Object run() throws IOException {
will not compile if the code in run() suddenly starts throwing other exceptions, so we shouldn't be getting any ClassCastException from the catch() all of a sudden. If it did change to throw other exceptions you might want these assertmethods to throw both exceptions without any wrapping to make it possible to make different choices easily. I also think the methods are more useful when they wrap away the uninteresting PrivilegedActionException for you.
Thanks Vemund! I have committed your patch to trunk (revision 594169). Should we also remove the old tests before we close the issue?
Seems like this caused an AccessControlException on Windows. Please take a look at
Added a patch 3156-remove-old-tests-diff that removes the files for the old tests that is no longer in use:
Thanks Vemund. Committed revision 596285.
I also removed lang/errorStream.java from DerbyNet.exclude and DerbyNetClient.exclude.
I am seeing junit failures in this test when run on j9 - see
DERBY-3217. Unfortunately the machine running these
tests had a number of problems so I don't know exactly when the issue started, but it has been happening at least
since 11/12/2007.
Could we also remove the canons now? (errorStream.out and logStream.out)
Removed errorStream.out and logStream.out and committed revision 597356.

Rick Riordan has revealed the release date and the gorgeous cover art for his highly-anticipated new book, Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes.
Illustrated by John Rocco, the cover depicts Percy riding a black pegasus between two mountains while prominent figures from Greek mythology, like Hercules and Perseus (holding Medusa's severed head), look on.
Related: Rick Riordan Announces New "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard" Series
Riordan shared the cover art on this Tumblr, with the caption, "Announced during the tour: Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes! Coming Aug. 18, 2015."
It would seem safe to assume that Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes will follow the same format as Riordan's 2014 Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, in which Percy Jackson himself explains various Greek myths, like how the world was created. This time, if my guesses are correct, Percy will tell readers various tales of famous Greek heroes while adding his own sarcastic wit.
Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes will be released August 18, 2015.
Will you be buying a copy of "Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes" when it's released?


text: I was looking at deck plans and trying to figure out if the cabin we selected (because we thought it might be quieter and have less traffic) will be at all convenient. We're on Deck 5 aft -- 5156. Looks like when we board there's no good way to "get there from here". That caused me to wonder how convenient that location will be for the duration of the cruise. Not that there's anything I can do about it now. The ship is full from what I understand, but if anyone has any thoughts about that location on the ship i'd love to hear! Thanks

In the gray light of a dreary Tuesday morning, the city started to awaken.
Mothers stood in darkened kitchens, placing plastic-wrapped sandwiches into brown paper bags while children dressed themselves for school. Dads ensured backpacks were packed and umbrellas were ready by the door. Infants yelped for sleep-deprived parents. Dads changed diapers while moms warmed bottles. Teenagers hit the snooze button for a third time while preschoolers watched cartoons and ate buttered toast on TV trays. Toddlers pulled all of their toys out of their toy boxes, moms avoided two-day-old stacks of dirty dishes in the sink while dads narrowly avoided stepping on pointy plastic trains on the living room floor for the seventeenth time. Morning prayers were said. Hugs and kisses were exchanged. Temperatures were taken. Buses were caught. Ties were straightened.
Everywhere across the city, families greeted the new day with a frenzy of activity.
Everywhere, that is, except for one place.
In the quiet darkness of the hospital room, the monotonous beeping of the heart monitor kept time. The silent dripping of the fluid bags delivered medication. The constant puffing of the leg cuffs kept leg veins circulating. Outside was the dull tapping of the cold November rain on the window and the quiet roar of the traffic: parents driving to work or dropping kids off at daycare, buses taking students to school.
A thin gray wash of sterile-looking light barely illuminated the room on that early November morning. I sat in the plastic chair beside the bed and sipped from my little foam cup of hospital coffee. I had managed to sneak in without waking Cheri, but I would not be able to stay for long before I would have to slip off to work.
That was Cheri and I a year ago last November. We were as far away from our goal of having a child as we could imagine. By God's grace, Cheri got well and we did have our son just five weeks ago. We have also celebrated with others who celebrate births and we have mourned with people whose dreams have not come true.
I am so proud of the people who shared their stories for Plus or Minus. Infertility taught me so much about parenting before I even became a parent, and I hope the same is true for any of you parents who read the book. I hope it helps educate you on how to encourage your friends who are going through something secret. I hope it helps educate our churches to be able to minister to hurting couples.
Most of all, I hope it gives each of you a new perspective on life and the amazing God who is behind it all. Please, download the ebook, leave a review on Amazon, tell a friend. #ShareTheHope

Beautifully refined in smooth calf with fine edge stitching, the Perry Saddle channels modern luxury with minimal effort.
They say luxury is a personal pleasure. For yourself and no other. In our world where time seems not to be our own and discretion a thing of the past, they might be right. So let's consider a quiet approach: the grain of supple Italian leather gently grazing the underside of your arm, the oh-so satisfying snap of a burnished brass clasp, a streamlined ease that carries you out the door, an elegance to follow you throughout the day. A lot can be had from only a little. Therein lies the beauty of understatement.
Minimalism was born in the 1960s, in part, from an effort to reduce the world to its purest meanings. It's a worthy exercise for today. Digging through the clutter all around us, cutting through the noise and din of the city, holds its own rewards. Surely, it bestows calm and peace but it also enables focus, to see and discover what's important. You see, the strength of simplicity, what makes it so curiously rich, is that it strips away the excess and pushes to the surface all that actually counts. You.

It's a brand new season. There are a handful of teams, more than a handful even, that can make a deep run. —South Sevier head coach Rhett Parsons
When Summit Academy and Beaver boys basketball teams take the floor early Saturday morning at Orem High School the 2A state tournament will officially begin, and, per South Sevier head coach Rhett Parsons, it's any team's tournament.
"It's a brand new season," said Parsons. "There are a handful of teams, more than a handful even, that can make a deep run."
Parsons' South Sevier squad had an excellent year, highlighted by an undefeated record in Region 13, as well as an impressive 12-game winning streak to close out the season. And yet, despite their many successes, the Rams know quite well that the playoffs are a different beast.
"Emery still has to be favored," said Parsons. "They have all those seniors back from last year's team and they have played great all year."
Parsons was not selling the Spartans short. They finished the season with a classification best 19-2 record and were dominant in a solid Region 15.
Emery was not the only Region 15 team to make the postseason, though. San Juan, which handed Emery its only loss to a 2A opponent this season, Grand and Manti all made it into the tournament. All three teams will pose difficult challenges for their opponents in their respective play-in games on Saturday.
"Region 15 was a solid region," said Parsons "And Region 16 has been a battle all year."
Three different teams (North Summit, Summit Academy, and South Summit) claimed first place in Region 16 at some point this season, though the Bears and Braves finished tied at the top.
In addition to Summit Academy and North Summit, South Summit, along with Providence Hall, give the region four sturdy playoff teams.
The Patriots, slated to face off against South Sevier, definitely have the Rams' attention.
"We will have our hands full with Providence Hall. They are a big team and we will have to play well, better than we have recently, in order to beat them," said Parsons.
Other playoff teams that will most assuredly have a say in who takes home the championship trophy include Waterford and Layton Christian.Comment on this story
"Those teams are really solid," said Parsons. "I heard that Layton Christian has a kid back from injury, that will be really good for them."
Filling out the bracket are three additional Region 13 schools, Enterprise, Delta and Beaver. Perhaps nothing paints a clearer picture of the challenge that awaits teams in the 2A state tournament as well as Parsons' appraisal of the Beavers.
"I wouldn't want to play Beaver in a play-in game. They were the fourth-best team in our region but they are going to be a handful."
Every team will have its hands full starting Saturday in what should be an excellent 2A state tournament.
