Just wondering how French rifle sections were armed. Warlords French boxed set has;
Command: 1 Officer with pistol, 1 Sergeant with rifle, 1 Corporal with rifle grenade launcher and 2 soldiers with carbines
12 man section: Sergeant with rifle, Corporal with rifle, 2-man LMG team, 7 riflemen and 1 soldiers with rifle grenade launchers
81mm mortar and 3 crew
So with the set above and a couple French infantry section boxes, would that give me a historically correct early war French platoon?
What was the most common French tank and do Warlord plan to release a model for it at some point?
Would these models be usable as Vichy French?
How popular are the French with players?

Welcome to Citizens Bank. This site is screen reader friendly.
Fact is, you can probably jettison some policies. But there are others you shouldn't go without. Here's a handy guide.
The average American's wealth peaks in the early years of retirement, which means you may have more to lose than ever before. Here's the insurance you should think about:
Medicare coverage doesn't kick in until you're 65, so if you're planning an early retirement, you'll need to factor in the costs of paying for your own coverage for several years.
Buying a policy on your own can be expensive, especially because individual health insurance policies get more costly as we age. Going without insurance, however, is too big a risk to take -- one illness or accident can wipe you out financially.
If you can't qualify for a group policy (say, through a professional association or other large organization) and you find the individual premiums for standard insurance too high, consider buying a high deductible or "catastrophic" policy. The monthly premiums will be lower than for standard coverage, although in the event of a pricey health problem, you'll have to pay quite a bit out of your own pocket ($1,000 to $5,000) to meet the deductible before the coverage kicks in.
With more assets than ever, you could be at an even bigger risk of being sued. Make sure you keep the maximum available liability coverage on your homeowners and auto insurance.
If your total liability coverage doesn't at least equal your net worth, consider adding an umbrella or personal liability policy or increasing the limits on the umbrella policy you already have.
This type of policy covers expenses that health insurance and Medicare typically do not: the costs of a nursing home or home care if you're too disabled or ill to take care of the basic functions of daily living, like feeding, bathing or dressing, by yourself. The costs of such care typically start at $60,000 a year.
Because this insurance is new, however, there is much controversy over who needs to buy it and when.
If you have plenty of assets -- $1 million or more -- and aren't worried about leaving an inheritance, you may decide to skip the insurance and use your wealth to pay for any care you need. If you have few assets, you're likely to qualify for Medicaid, the government health plan for the indigent, which covers nursing home costs.
If you're somewhere in between, or you're determined to protect your assets for your kids, then long-term-care insurance might be a wise option. Many financial planners say the best time to buy the insurance is in your mid-50s to early 60s.
For more information, visit the Web site run by H.E.L.P., a not-for-profit organization that educates seniors about financial matters.
Even if your home is paid off, you most likely will still need the protection homeowners insurance can provide. Not only will it rebuild your house if necessary, but homeowners insurance also provides liability protection in case you get sued.
You can save money by substantially raising your deductible. You should have enough savings set aside to pay for the first $1,000, $2,500 or even $5,000 of home damage out of your own pocket. Raising your deductible to those amounts will save considerably on your premiums.
If your children are grown and financially independent, and you have enough in assets to support your spouse should you die, then you may no longer need life insurance.
On the other hand, if you're going to leave a considerable estate, life insurance could be used to pay any estate taxes that would be due.
In 2007, estates of more than $2 million ($4 million for couples) are subject to estate taxes; in 2009, it's estates of more than $3.5 million ($7 million for couples). The portion of an estate beyond the exemption is taxed at 45%. Although the estate tax is scheduled to be repealed in 2010, the repeal is currently slated to last just that year, with estate taxes returning for estates worth more than $1 million in 2011.
Your best bet is to consult a qualified financial planner, probably in conjunction with an estate-planning attorney, to evaluate your individual insurance needs and the policies you own.

Large Auction Features Many Objects Of American History
Filed under: Auctions
Most of Green's belongings have remained boxed up for over one hundred years. The Boston Glove reports that boxes were only opened after the death of Julia Green, his great-great-grandniece and distant heiress. Thousands of documents, antiques and more will be sold in a four-day auction at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts by R.W. Oliver's auction house. The auction includes a printed copy of George Washington's will (only 13 copies are known to exist) and Presidential letters from Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson.
Over 2,000 lots and items will be sold without reserve. They had been passed down through generations, prized, but virtually untouched, sealed and stored until Julia Green's nephew and niece inherited the boxes and decided to have them assessed. In addition to the documents, the boxes contained Tiffany silver, antique toys and games, vintage clothing from ballgowns to flapper dresses, stamps, and coins. Catalog estimates of individual auction items range from $50 to $50,000 and the entire sale could bring in over $1 million.

In Reply to: Re: Toddler diapers posted by megan on January 13, 2004 at 13:16:37:
: : : Don't count on the One-Size fitting at that weight range..... It really depends a lot on the build of the child. I'm very doubtful they would have fit my children that long (I used it for my daughter for a while but then sold it because I prefered Sandy's). It really seems to vary as to how long they fit (and that can probably be said for pretty much any diaper. I would recomend sticking with diapers that are specifically made for toddlers (like the ME Toddle-ease) as the One-Size is only 'meant' to fit up to 35lbs. It wouldn't hurt to try a One-Size (maybe email ME to get specific measurments) but I wouldn't buy a bunch of them unless you're sure you can return them if they don't fit.
: : : Another option would be to go with cheap toddler prefolds. They're a little more inconvenient, especially when dealing with poop but I'm assuming your son is close to potty training age anyway so you wouldn't have to deal with it long, if at all. They're very cheap even when new, usually less than $2 each!
: : : Karen.Never mind what I said! LOL! I just read What Karen had to say and she knows more then I!
: : Good Luck!
: Oh No! I didnt get that impression at all,I just meant what I said,you sound like you know better than I , and I totally agree that she should try one out first before buying a bunch,I think everyone should do that with all the diff. kinds, since they all fit diff. and diff. on all kids!

Paul Sorvino Movies
It took 18 years of voice lessons for
Paul Sorvino
to console himself to the fact that an operatic career was beyond his reach. Having done some acting while attending the American Music and Dramatic Academy, Sorvino decided to pursue the theatre full-time, continuing his studies at New York's American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He made his Broadway debut as a constable in the 1964 musical Bajour, and six years later appeared in his first film,
Where's Poppa
. His stardom was secured when he received an avalanche of critical praise for his performance as Phil Romano in the 1972 Broadway play That Championship Season, a role he repeated in the 1981 film version. A convincing heavy in such films as
Dick Tracy
, Sorvino has been even more effective in comedy, notably as the Reverend Willie Williams, a flamboyant Jimmy Swaggart takeoff in
Carl Reiner
Oh, God
(1978). And in the 1976
Elliott Gould
Diane Keaton
I Will, I Will...For Now
, Sorvino served up a near-autobiographical vignette in which he tearfully mimed to a recording of I Pagliacci. Squeezing as many TV appearances into his schedule as possible, Sorvino has starred in the weekly series
We'll Get By
(1975, as George Platt),
Bert D'Angelo/Superstar
(1976, in the title role) and The Oldest Rookie (1987, as Detective Ike Porter). In 1991, he took over from
George Dzundza
on the popular series Law and Order, and in 1993 he subbed for the late Raymond Burr in a
Perry Mason
TV movie. Additional scattered TV credits have included sporadic appearances as
Bruce Willis
' dad in Moonlighting, and the "Lamont" counterpart in the never-aired original pilot for
Sanford and Son
. Possessed of seemingly inexhaustible versatility, Sorvino played Henry Kissinger in
Oliver Stone
(1995). Despite his many on-camera commitments, Sorvino has remained active in the theatre as both an actor and director.
Paul Sorvino
is the father of Oscar-winning actress
Mira Sorvino
. In the years to come, Sorvino would remain active on screen, appearing in films like The Cooler and Mr. 3000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on author Rick Porrello's book To Kill the Irishman: The War that Crippled the Mafia, director Jonathan Hensleigh's richly detailed biopic details the rise and fall of notorious Cleveland union rep Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson), who earned notoriety in the mid-'70s for his bold willingness to defy the Italian mob. Raised on the mean streets of Cleveland, Greene's tough reputation eventually lands him a contact with the local mob. Before long, the scrappy local has become a mafia enforcer, but after forming an alliance with notorious gangster John Nardi (Vincent D'Onofrio) and burning feared loan shark Shondor Birns (Christopher Walken), Greene starts to discover that he has the potential to become as powerful as any of his adversaries. Later, Greene develops a reputation as untouchable after surviving numerous assassination attempts, and dealing a devastating blow to organized-crime syndicates across the U.S. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Standing six and a half feet tall and weighing 265 pounds, Primo Carnera was one of the most formidable opponents in the history of heavyweight boxing, and in 1933, after becoming heavyweight champion of his native Italy, we went on to defeat Jack Sharkey in New York to become heavyweight champ of the world. Carnera's true story comes to life in this screen biography, with "the Ambling Alp" played by actor Andrea Iaia. Growing up in poverty, Carnera wanted to use his size and strength to make something of himself, and after joining a circus and becoming a strongman, he was spotted by a pair of fight promoters, Leon See (F. Murray Abraham) and Lou Soresi (Burt Young), who were convinced he had the talent to become a professional boxer. In time, with the help of trainer Maurice Eudeline (Paolo Seganti), Carnera rose to the top of the fight game and became an international sports star. However, Carnera's business savvy didn't match his physical power; he discovered in his later years that See and Soresi had stolen most of his winnings, and the once-proud champion was forced to join the then-unglamorous world of professional wrestling. Originally produced for Italian television, Carnera: The Walking Mountain enjoyed a theatrical release in Europe before its broadcast premiere. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Directed by Charles Stone III, Mr. 3000 revolves around over-the-hill baseball star Stan Ross (Bernie Mac), who retired after making what he thought was his 3,000th base hit for the Milwaukee Brewers (i.e. the exact amount of hits it takes to qualify for the Hall of Fame). Though he shocked his teammates by quitting in the middle of the game, certain that his Hall of Fame position was in the bag, complications arise when he discovers that three of his hits during his ten-year career had been disqualified. Known as Mr. 3000, the 47-year-old, out-of-shape ball player returns to the game intending to stay only as long as it takes to get the hits he needs, but something unexpected happens along the way -- he rediscovers his love for the game, and begins to serve as a mentor to one of the younger players. Mr. 3000 features Angela Bassett, Paul Sorvino, Michael Rispoli, and Evan Jones in supporting roles. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

The dejected habitués of a run-down New Jersey bar currently teetering on the brink of bankruptcy receive an encouraging boost of morale when a one-time drinking buddy about to get his big break in show-business returns to find the girl he once left behind as the popular stage drama comes to the screen in a film starring Kim Dickens, Debi Mazar, Nick Chinlund, and Paul Sorvino. A locals-only dive where whiskey flows free and evenings pass in a bitter, alcohol-fueled haze, Charlie's Bar and New Crystal Ballroom is a holding tank for lost souls and forgotten dreams. Despite the dreary nature of the place, however, things suddenly start to look up when one-time local Joey Parker returns to his old watering hole in search of the woman he once left behind. It seems that the celebrated crooner from Manhattan has recently been booked for his first appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and in order for his success to truly be complete Joey is convinced that he must first wed his long lost love. Now, as the dreams of the weary are re-awakened by the same winds that blew in the man determined to take hold of his fate, the regulars at Charlie's are about to find out why some dreamers are better left asleep. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

As repayment for services rendered by his father, young New Jerseyite Frank Siena (Danny Nucci) is put through medical school in the U.S. and Italy by powerful mafia don Nicola Dellarusso (Paul Sorvino). Upon becoming a doctor, Siena dutifully returns the favor by giving body and soul to the organization, covering up murders, tending to the mob wounded without making police reports, and, in general, relinquishing his soul in the name of gratitude. Although Frank's mafia-princess wife enjoys the perks attending his privileged status, Frank ultimately suffers from pangs of conscience fueled by the pointed words of his envious friend Danny Keegan (Jonathan Scarfe). But when Frank goes to Dellarusso and respectively asks to be let off the hook, he is rather forcibly made to realize that no one retires from the mafia and lives to tell about it. Mafia Doctor first aired March 16, 2003, on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This arrangement works out for awhile, until Bernie has almost paid off his debt and meets cocktail waitress Natalie Belisario (Maria Bello). The two start to fall in love and Bernie's luck begins to change. However, the old-fashioned mob boss Shelly Kaplow (Alec Baldwin) isn't going to let Bernie go so easily. Meanwhile, Larry Sokolov (Ron Livingston) arrives on the scene to help update the business management of the old mobster-run casino. Also starring Joey Fatone and Paul Sorvino as lounge singers.

Old World values collide with modern-day questions of sexual orientation in this ethnic comedy. Mambo Italiano tells the story of Angelo, a neurotic twentysomething preoccupied with the usual post-adolescent concerns: his job, his creative aspirations as a writer, and his longing to get out of his parents' house. He finally decides to take the plunge on his last goal, a decision that makes parents Gino (Paul Sorvino) and Maria (Ginette Reno) none too happy; they're not about to let one of their offspring leave the house without getting married. What they don't know is that Angelo is gay, a secret he's been keeping from everyone but his understanding older sister Anna (Claudia Ferri). A greater shock yet to the family is that Angelo is moving in with longtime crush Nino (Peter Miller), a local policeman whose sexuality is at odds with his macho profession. As the two lovebirds struggle to make sense of their relationship, both of their families chime in with opinions both helpful and not-so-helpful as they struggle to come to terms with their sons' new lives. Shot and set in Montreal, Mambo Italiano premiered stateside at the 2003 New York Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Like most of their neighbors, Arnold and Gerald love their community, and when they learn that Scheck (voice of Paul Sorvino), a wealthy and powerful developer, plans to buy up their neighborhood, tear down the buildings, and put up a massive shopping mall in its place, they decide something has to be done. While the adults come up with a dodgy scheme to blow up the streets in their neighborhood, Arnold and Gerald hatch a more practical scheme, with the help of Helga (voice of Francesca Marie Smith), who can't decide if she likes Arnold or hates his guts. Arnold and Gerald learn that their neighborhood was designated a historical landmark years ago, but can they prove it before Scheck moves in with his bulldozers? Hey Arnold!

As a number of luminaries on the international fashion scene converge for a major show, their personal and professional crises come to a head in this comedy-drama. Lorenzo Mancini (Paul Sorvino) is an internationally famous designer who has learned he has only a short time to live. As Mancini tries to make his peace with both his ex-wife (Sonia Braga) and his long-time companion (Peter Gallagher), he also tries to mend fences with his son (and heir) Mario (Michael Sorvino) while persuading him to not merge the family business with the hip-hop fashion empire of J.B. (Omar Epps. Anthony (Jared Harris), a famous and influential fashion photographer, is having a career crisis as his marriage to Francene (Michelle Forbes) begins to collapse. Cutting-edge designer Roberta (Rita Wilson) is scrambling to complete her latest line as her underlings start leaving her one by one. Camille (Leslie Mann), Roberta's business partner, may be the next to hit the road, as she becomes involved with Jamie (Jeff Goldblum), who works for a firm run by arch-rival designer Phillip (Harris Yulin). And Janice (Joanne Baron), the editor of a leading fashion journal, is facing a deadline when she gets an unexpected visitor -- her daughter Halley (Michelle Williams), whom she hasn't seen in over a decade. Taking an unusual approach, director Michael Rymer and screenwriter L.M. Kit Carson wrote a detailed outline for Perfume and in-depth background sketches for all the characters, but allowed the cast to improvise all the dialogue used in the film.

A police dog finds himself pitted in a battle of wits against an accident-prone mailman and a gang of crooks (and it looks like the dog has the edge in the brains department) in this broad comedy. Agent 11 (Bob) is a bulldog trained by the FBI agent Murdoch (Michael Clarke Duncan) to sniff out drugs, and the dog's keen nose ferrets out the storage facility of Mafia kingpin Sonny (Paul Sorvino); Agent 11 has also been taught to show no mercy with criminals, and he gives Sonny a serious bite in a rather personal place. Needless to say, Sonny is not amused, and wants revenge against the pooch, so Agent 11 is put into the animal equivalent of the witness protection program. However, unlikely circumstances set the dog loose, where he soon pairs up with Gordon (David Arquette), a stunningly inept letter carrier with a long history of fending off ill-tempered pets. Gordon is attempting to impress Stephanie (Leslie Bibb), an attractive single mother, by helping to look after her son James (Angus T. Jones), and when he comes across Agent 11, he adopts the dog and names him Spot, feeling certain he can smooth out the critter's often cranky relationship with people. But Gordon doesn't know that Sonny and his henchmen are hot on Agent 11's trail and that his new best friend will lead a gang of ruthless gangsters into Stephanie and James' home. See Spot Run was originally announced as a vehicle for comedy star Martin Lawrence, but when changes in Lawrence's schedule prevented him from taking on the project, it was retooled for the talents of David Arquette. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

When a gentle bookkeeper is forced to act as an assassin in order to pay off her husband's debt to the mob, the bloodless scheme she concocts to keep a clear conscience could cost her more than she bargained for in a blistering crime comedy starring Diane Keaton, Burt Young, Bob Balaban, Paul Sorvino, and Natasha Lyonne. Fran (Keaton) has just lost her husband, and if that wasn't enough to shake her world, the revelation that he owed a healthy chunk of change to a local syndicate head does little to comfort her in her time of mourning. Soon informed that she is to carry out a series of risky assassinations lest she find herself having a premature reunion with her recently departed spouse, Fran opts instead to drive her would-be victims to her brother's house in Florida for safe keeping. When the big boss receives word that his enemies may not be as dead as he was led to believe, his impromptu trip to the Sunshine State leads to a comic series of criminal complications. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Ciao America
Having recently earned his college degree, Lorenzo Primavera (Eddie Malavarca) leaves his home in Boston to travel to his family's ancestral homeland in Italy -- as was requested by his late grandfather. Upon arriving, Lorenzo is offered a short-term position as coach for an American-style football team by the team's manager, Giulio Fellini (Maurizio Nichetti). As the young American immerses himself in his new duties, he makes the acquaintance of Paola Angelini (Violante Placido) and the two begin a friendship that quickly blossoms into something more. In between spending time with Paola and working with the team, Lorenzo also begins investigating his own family's history and learns the reason for his grandfather's departure from Italy, as well as why his grandfather never returned to visit. As Lorenzo begins to forge an identity for himself in Italy -- not to mention strong romantic attachments to Paola -- he must eventually decide whether or not to return to the States. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

Rob Morrow stars as investigating journalist Jonathan Neumann in this drama about police corruption in 1970s Philadelphia. When Neumann takes over the court beat for the Philadelphia Examiner, he quickly discovers wrongdoing at every turn, with cops beating suspects into often blatantly false confessions. As Neumann pieces together his story, he finds himself increasingly threatened by a posse of "goon squad" cops who tap his phone, break into his apartment, and even resort to physical assault. The Thin Blue Lie was originally screened on Showtime on August 13, 2000. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Moral hypocrisy and the woes of America's public schools and educational system are the focus of Cheaters, which is based on a real-life 1995 cheating scandal at a Chicago high school. In a working class area of the city, teacher Dr. Gerald Plecki (Jeff Daniels) is desperate for his students to triumph at an upcoming academic decathlon against students of a more affluent high school across town. His desperation causes him to cast a blind eye when one of his students gets hold of a copy of the decathlon test -- and, thanks to their combined dedication to cheating -- the team wins the competition with the highest total score in state history. Of course, the score leads to suspicion on the part of Illinois officials, and the resulting scandal is accompanied by a media frenzy of monolithic proportions. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

This product did not agree well with my sensitive skin. It was irritating for me and did not absorb well.
I have been using Coola for quite some time an absolutely love this product. My facialist recommended it and I cannot say enough good stuff about it. I wear this product every day and will not leave the house without it. I also love the tinted version for a little more coverage. Great, amazing product!
The cucumber scent and light, non-greasy feel of this moisturizer are fantastic! I'm interested in trying their mattifying version of this same product, but I'm officially a convert to COOLA sunscreen products.
This product worked very well underneath my make-up. It went on smoothly and without a greasy feeling. It also had a great scent, without being too noticeable.
I like this moisturizer. It doesn't leave my face all sticky, but it actually moisturizes. I also really like the fact that it has SPF because that just removes one step and some worrying. Skin protection is always a good thing. Plus, it smells good!
Love this sunscreen. It's light while giving great protection from the sun and it smells wonderfully refreshing! I definitely recommend this product!
I love having a small size of this moisturizer to keep in my purse. The SPF is great and allows me to protect my skin on the go!
I really loved this product! I used it whenever I went out in the sun. It was light and fresh and smelt great! I will most definitely be buying a bottle once summer rolls around.
Lightweight and a refreshing smell, but I don't feel strongly enough about it to justify paying $32 for it. You could find a comparable moisturizer for way less.
I love everything about this - the consistency, the smell, etc. This is now going to be my go-to sunscreen. I used this on many hot and humid days spent in direct sunlight and did not burn.

My son and I had a terrific time at Cortina Inn. The room was really comfy, the beds were easy to sleep in and ... they allowed us to bring OUR DOG! The... fireplace lounge area in the lobby was a cozy place place to read a book and hang, and the pool and hot tub really hit the spot after a day of hitting the slopes hard. We even got in a few games of pin ball downstairs in the game room. Will definitely be going back again. by Elissa Jane from Willow, NY on 19/11/2013

The Longer View
While it might make for an intriguing storyline given all the history between the two clubs over the past two seasons, the Maple Leafs can't be officially eliminated from playoff contention by the Boston Bruins tonight.
Even a regulation loss would leave the Leafs with a possibility of getting to 88 points with four games remaining, theoretically enough to catch the Buffalo Sabres, who currently sit seventh with 87 points and don't play. The Rangers are eighth with 87 points, and they tangle with the unpredictable Islanders on the road this evening.
That said, the result of tonight's Leafs-Bruins clash in Beantown could help determine the value of the draft picks hanging in the balance because of two major trades between the two teams over the past two seasons.
For the Leafs, the good news is the 2011 No. 1 pick overall is no longer in play.
Right now, the Leafs sit 22nd overall and can't finish lower than 25th, which means even with the draft lottery the Bruins can no longer dream of getting the top pick with the second of two first round selections gained through the 2009 Phil Kessel deal.
Small victories for Leaf Nation.
If the Leafs fall no further, the highest the lottery could move the Bruins could move up to would be fifth overall - no team can move up more than four places - while the Leafs could also still bump a few notches upwards in the standings.
A win tonight over the Bruins, then, could contribute to that lost first round pick being less valuable. And keep the Leafs' remote playoff dreams alive.
The Leafs, meanwhile, own Boston's first round pick from last month's Tomas Kaberle deal. Today, the Bruins sit seventh overall, but the actual value of that pick will be determined through how Boston fares in the post-season combined with their regular season finish. The Bruins will win their division but right now have the fewest points of any division leader, and that status could determine where the first rounder owned by the Leafs lands.
The best scenario the Leafs could hope for (and an unlikely one) would be if four non-division winners get to the conference finals. Those teams would get picks Nos. 27 through 30. Next would come the division winners in reverse order of points, so in theory the Boston pick owned by the Leafs could be as high as No. 21 if the B's finish lowest among the division winners.
If the Bruins get to the Stanley Cup final and lose, the pick would be the 29th of the first round. If they win, it would be the 30th. But in either of those scenarios, the Leafs would get Boston's second round pick in 2012.
The Leafs would also get Boston's second round pick in '12 regardless of their playoff finish if Kaberle resigns with the Bruins. Right now, there have been no serious contract talks between the veteran defenceman and Boston GM Peter Chiarelli, but the intent seems to be to get a deal done.
"I expect there to be good negotiations once the season is over," Chiarelli told ESPNBoston.com.
Kaberle, an unrestricted free agent in July, has played 18 games for Boston, registering one goal and six assists with a plus-six rating. So far, he hasn't done much to help the Boston power play, with the B's 6-49 (12.2 per cent) at extra strength since acquiring Kaberle. That said, over the last five games the Boston power play has been better, scoring five times on 15 chances.
"He's changed the balance of our defence," said Chiarelli.
This is the second meeting of the two clubs since the Kaberle trade. The Leafs beat the Bruins 5-2 in Toronto on March 19th, a game in which Kaberle went pointless and was minus-1 in 20:08 of playing time.
Centre Joe Colborne, the prospect the Leafs received in the deal along with the draft picks, has been back in the AHL Marlies lineup for five games since suffering a concussion in mid-March. He had a goal and an assist in a loss to Syracuse on Wednesday.

Check out the TAG website here! :
Facebook :
I sent an email in, are there still any openings? I tried this with Alt-Strum like a month ago but there was a situation where I lost power and then moved to a different state. By time I was set up again they never replied back to me
I would also be willing to do this if it is still available. I'm most familiar with drums, but I can also do guitar (Expert level on both) I can test pro drums also. The only thing I can't test is Keys.
I'd love to do this. As a huge Rock Band Fan/Player I have all instruments and Pro Instruments and I play Expert on everything and am very skilled. And I have the time.
What would play testers do exactly? How does this work?
Hi. <3
read this for a full description of the PT process.
on summary, you'd play through the song on one instrument, and then examine the song closer on all difficulties looking for any authoring errors you find. there is a big form you can fill out that helps you with what to look for, than you tell the authors what you found... basically
Why is TAG proxying for other authoring groups here, instead of them posting requests themselves? Joining the forum is free, so it doesn't make sense. I am suspicious.
For any applicants, be careful who you work for because it will make a huge difference in your RBN playtesting experience. For example...
Rock Gamer Studios gave an XNA membership code that we used to activate our own gamertag on all the requisite forums. Playtesting was a reasonable pace per week, the RGS staff was intelligent and considerate, and we felt our contributions were appreciated. It made a difference in songs that came out. RGS was awesome to work for.
Alt-Strum Productions took the cheapy route and bought one shared XNA-enabled account that ALL their testers and developers had to share. You had to "recover gamertag" every single time you wanted to test a song, and that got old immediately. No individual recognition for contributions was available nor was much written thanks ever delivered. Expected workload was high. ASP staff had poor grammar, spelling, and reading comprehension, so communication was difficult. ASP was horrible to work for.
So, authoring group makes a significant difference in the playtest process.

By the way, what do you recommend Win7 or Win8? I'll take another OS copy, so I can get another OS instead of W7.
If you already have a copy of windows 7, you do not need to buy another. You can download an .ISO file and use the key that you have.
Well, at this moment W7 is installed and running. Good stuff is that now I have one new Seagate Barracuda 1TB, one thermal grease, a new win7 copy and the unvaluable experience of not to trust in a DVD copy . At least for the moment, now I'll go to mothers house and I expect found PC working when come back. Bad stuff is that if I connect the new HDD in some SATA port OS si hold when appears four windows, not sure reason, maybe because do not recognize master/slave? because is in IDE mode? Have to find somewhere a jumper to set them... or do you recommend something else? Anyway, for now I can live with that... Thanks a lot to all of you, I'm a little bit less noob now. some emoticons from my daughter: Bests
Everything looks OK! Except for the Seagate HDD, seems to be broken... I tried to install OS and is impossible, if I try to run PC with that one connected OS can't load
BSOD again... I just downloading Avast and with Chrome open reading the dairy and forum, navigating trought USB Modem Stop error: 0x00000124(0x0000000000000000,0xFFFFFA8007AB6028,0x00000000BE200000,0x000000000005110A) Does anyone understand this code? or some help, I guess can run PC to copy minidump, but don't know how to read it, total commander viewer can't do it, I found one tool but only show the crash done in the PC you run it but don't open files... Thanks.
YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING HARD DRIVES IN SATA MODE OR AHCI. Not IDE. TO CORRECT ISSUE, YOU MAKE THE CHANGE IN BIOS. NO JUMPERS ON HARD DRIVE. STOP ERROR CODE ...124 IS A HARDWARE FAIL CODE. IS THERMAL PASTE PROPERLY APPLIED TO CPU? FORMAT "BAD" DRIVE AND RUN SEAGATE DISK WIZARD: http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/discwizard/
SATA is now set in AHCI after change some key in registry. OS still running now. I noticed SM Bus controller was not installed, so I realize this was before change to AHCI, anyway I installed it, and now I think this was the original BSOD reason, is it possible? I hope so, indeed I noticed it takes too long to install, maybe DVD fail? Another thing is that yesterday system failed like one hour after use USB Modem (3G connection), does this USB Lan use this missed SM bus controller? one of my guess... thinking on download controller and reinstall to be sure. Thanks. P.S.: I tried to format the seagate HDD on my office PC and same than house PC, OS stay holded on "four colours windows and didn't start... some clue? P.S.: I replaced grease on CPU too.

On campuses like this it's always threatens somewhere buys somebody in authority.
Here's another example Steve cook C works for -- medical equipment company here in North Carolina but also on the side.
You try your hand -- blogging in you've got adjusted nutrition.
Eroded -- block like dear -- giving advice and what happened.
Well I was told by the state of North Carolina that I should stop giving nutritional advice and nutritional guidance they they even.
-- -- -- -- I'm here and with red lines here -- here's why you may not because.
You're giving advice that you may not do that without a license.
So tell -- final I have often get certification to tell people to eat meats and vegetables.
Why is it against the law called detail people to avoid greetings to Joseph Bob Bennett to reduce -- just to help the normalized for what -- why -- that wrong.
So you contacted a group called the Institute for Justice he heard about them they fight these rules and Paul surely -- a lawyer with them.
Would you.
Well we litigate across the country on behalf of people -- -- -- threatened by the government and one of the areas we work in is the First Amendment.
And we felt terrible.
For Steve but we were also excited because this case raises one of the most important unanswered questions and First Amendment law.
Which is what happens when the government's power to regulate occupations conflicts.
With free speech.
And they regulate a lot of occupations these days more and more all the time it used to be able to just start a business now it can call how much what is the cost it.
It would have cost you thousands of dollars and it would take have taken years of his life.
To get the dietitian licensing and this is a nationwide problem fifty years ago only 5% of the American population vehicle license from the government.
To work in their chosen occupation now that number is 30% and it's continuing to increase.
Us here in North Carolina you had it would've had to get 900 hours of apprenticeship even after you've got your degree.
-- end and yet this state nutrition board sinking we're gonna monetary you're make sure you don't keep don't see this use stop because.
In theory they could put you -- And it's correct that they tell -- 120 days.
Right they tell me -- I could not give up personal advice or guidance on -- that he even though.
I am -- successfully yup I successfully self -- my diabetes but diet and exercise I couldn't tell others to do that.
And we Rainier advice -- Harvard nutritionist she said it was pretty reasonable but even if it was.
Stupid I mean I would think on the Internet people all is a lot of garbage in the Internet and it ought to be allowed to be there.
Absolutely I.
Is -- you can write a book about nutrition but if you want to give one on one advice to someone that's categorically forbidden.
And often this happens because the established businesses.
They mean well they want to protect their.
Industry have a good reputation but also they're trying to keep free competition.
Absolutely with the story that we see again and again -- occupational license for boards is that the industry itself is the one who's calling for regulation it's not that the public is afraid.
The people like -- -- -- dietary advice it's the dietitians.
Don't want Steve competing with them.
-- say North Carolina is about average in terms of unnecessary and intrusive regulations.
To become a -- a 180 dollars in fees 250.
Days of tests and classes two years to become a barber.
To become a landscape contractor three years.
Also a security alarm installer this is one reason unemployment stays high.
-- and you one of the most outrageous things about these -- is how much the requirements very between states.
There's over a dozen states that don't have any license -- requirements for nutritionists.
Is that are the people in those states that much more in danger when people here in North Carolina absolutely not.
Thank you Paul and Steve good luck she'll probably.

Did this bitch actually make it through the entire press conference without ever using the word EMPOWERING?
Christina explained: 'I have a boyfriend that loves my body. I love my body, my son is healthy and happy and that is all that matters.'
'Women, we are definitely under a microscope and under massive scrutiny. As long as I am happy in my own skin, that is all that is all the confirmation I need.'
The Candyman singer, who has been dating Matt Rutler since late 2010, explained that confidence was a key part of being a successful musical artist, particularly as a female.
She said: 'You have got to be a strong, powerful, very confident woman.'
And Christina also revealed what she will bring to the talent show: 'Being in a position to coach these young women, I am happy to be able to share that with them and share my highs and lows. Being on the show, it's a very good outlet for me.'

Fabulous news:
Christina Aguilera Says Next Album Is 'Honest And Raw'
"As fans of "The Voice" amp up for a new season of the hit singing reality competition series, the show's resident big-voiced judge, Christina Aguilera, is getting ready to work on her next album, a follow-up to 2010's coolly received Bionic.
In a new promo for the show, which kicks off on February 5, Xtina opens up about what she's looking forward to on this next LP. "I'm recording my next album right now, and I'm really excited because I find myself in a very introspective stage of my life," she said. "I've learned so much, have experienced so much, in leaps and bounds, and it's a journey of growth for me, continuously throughout my career. I'm excited to put it all down on paper through my lyrics and my voice. And come from a very, very truthful and honest and raw place."
At this point, Christina's done a bit of it all musically. She's never been one to let genre define her, always keeping fans guessing what the next phase of her musical evolution will involve. Her 2006 release Back to Basics was a retro-leaning homage to pin-up girls and the boys they love, while Bionic looked forward with a futuristic, sonic flair (and even harked back to her "Dirrty" days thanks to sexy, naughty references).
Maybe the best next move for Aguilera would be to get back to basics, strip down all the futuristic pomp and circumstance and play with her voice over sultry ballads and light-hearted pop ides. But who knows what she might be cooking up. Regardless, we're excited to hear it." Source: MTV

I don't think that funeral is at full-capacity there, unlike Christina's figure, etc. Oh my goodness that note - I don't know what emotion it was supposed to be, clearly she's inventing emotions from the future, but I do know this is probably the best DIVA moment for quite some time.

A long-time favorite sight for "backyard astronomers," the Milky Way appears in the night sky as a hazy strip of many millions of stars. As large and vast as its scope appears when seen even through a small telescope, the Milky Way is but a part of the Milky Way Galaxy, which contains some two hundred billion stars. Even that mind-boggling number pales in comparison to the estimated twenty trillion stars in the universe.
Photo. The Milky Way, as seen from the NASA Cosmic Background Explorer, a spacecraft launched in 1989. Notice the central bulge, or the nucleus. Courtesy NASA.
The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, nearly 100,000 light-years -- each an incredible 6 trillion miles -- in diameter with two large arms twisting around its central bulge, called the nucleus. A third, smaller arm curves not even half-way around the nucleus, but the two major arms wind around nearly one and one-half times each. The sun, always at the center of our Solar System, is located near the inside of one of the large arms.
As the Galaxy's arms rotate around the nucleus, the sun travels at over 600,000 miles per hour. Though this speed is extraordinary considering that the speed record for a jet plane is just shy of 600 miles per hour, 600,000 miles is a mere ten-millionth of a light-year. At this rate it takes the sun 225 million years to complete one full revolution around the center of the Galaxy.
As do many distances and sizes in space, the Milky Way Galaxy becomes less and less enormous and important as we look farther back. The Galaxy is only one of over two dozen galaxies nearby referred to as the Local Group.
The Andromeda galaxy, M31, resides about 2.2 million light-years away from the Milky Way galaxy, making it the nearest large galaxy. A spiral, Andromeda is very much like the Milky Way in many respects; but, with 300 billion stars, it is half again as large as our galaxy.
The Milky Way galaxy has two satellite galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, named for Ferdinand Magellan, the first to record seeing them. On his famous expedition to sail around the world, Magellan passed through Earth's southern hemisphere, where the two galaxies are visible to the naked eye -- Magellan lived in the 1500's, before Galileo popularized the telescope for astronomy.
Large Magellanic Cloud
About 170,000 light-years away from the Milky Way galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud is the nearest galaxy. But with only 15 billion stars, it is only one-quarter the size of our own galaxy. Still, the Large Cloud is quite important because it is the location of Supernova 1987A, an exploded star that for a time shone brightly but that is now dim and dead.
Farther away than the Large Cloud, the Small Magellanic Cloud is 200,000 light-years distant. It is roughly a third the size of the Large Cloud, with only 5 billion stars.
Viewing the Milky Way and its satellite galaxies helps us to understand that there are vast worlds that lie beyond our Earth and provides a basis for understanding the size of the Milky Way Galaxy. But it is also useful and interesting to occasionally put the extent and importance of our galaxy in perspective, as we have tried to do here.

The reason why these SEC filings are interest -- and then possibly important is that.
If these filings establish that.
Perhaps he was.
More involved and -- capital -- he's previously stated then.
Perhaps there's a contradiction there.
Mitt Romney's history of being capital is just one of the things that he's fighting the Obama campaign on another one is his taxes recently president Obama's campaign tweeted.
Fact in 2010 and 2011 Romney paid less than 15% in taxes on 42 point five million dollars -- income.
Much less than what many middle class families bag but is that really backed.
Here to help us sort it all out is Glenn Kessler he is the Washington Post fact check good to see you glad that he was a breakdown that -- -- is Mitt Romney really paying less in tax and most middle class Americans.
Well you know they used -- anything which you know the with the way the Obama campaign talks about it DR three million.
Americans that that -- pay higher rate than well me does you know overall during that period but.
It's not most -- -- -- this tax rate is effective tax rate.
Is actually hired and about 80% of Americans paying taxes it's actually many Americans don't pay a lot of tax so the Obama campaign very specific in the way Parse his words yup well yes and it's that's how all campaigns do -- it's it's.
It makes for an effective attack.
When when you get down to it.
You know one reason why Romney has of putting low effective tax rate is -- he -- three million dollars the year it to charity.
Which brings down as effective tax rate by about four or five percentage points right so you've got a lot of money -- you're giving a lot of it away and lot of its investment.
That's what the law is so is is he paying his fair share rights right right and into the -- border -- -- -- to also bring this up is this Mitt Romney is only given has only released.
You know essentially won two years of tax returns and they're trying to get him that would wings went right so I read your column this morning sorry are you would an undisclosed location these days are you hiding in the Cheney -- -- Well I'm I'm doing fine did they do get few nasty tweets.
From here -- -- -- you've got a lot of -- mostly because of your fact checking on this claim that the Obama campaign.
Is making that Mitt Romney was still in charge of being capital between 1990.
Nine and 2001 -- 2002.
And and therefore he may be lying when he saying that he didn't have anything to do with being which may be a felony.
What did you find out well I've looked very carefully at this and part of that was the reason why it's important is that between 1999 and 2002.
There were a number of business deals to being capital did.
That you don't didn't turn out very well and if you could -- Romney was in charge.
You don't to 2002 you could put all sorts of outsourcing and all sorts of bankruptcies on his watch.
The question is what you personally involved those transaction and was.
I cannot find evidence that he was involved there are SEC documents where he is listed as.
You know chairman chief executive being and there are a few six that I found that he signed.
But you look at other records and you see that he really -- -- the Boston.
Election commission said that he was working six hours a day six days twelve hours days six days -- week.
You know on the Olympics Olympics so this idea that if he was in charge of -- when he said he was it might be a felony that actually.
Emanated from your -- what did you mean when you -- that -- he signed that he submitted a the reports reveal what to do your personal election commission report.
Did the -- in his history and his finances and in there he -- I have nothing to do with being after February 1999.
You could see his signature on the front of her page she says I've signed this and a penalty of perjury so that is really them.
If you if you committed a crime that would be where it is the most recent filing as opposed to these as -- documents.
That I think have a bit of a red Herring Glenn thanks for coming in today really appreciate it we'll keep watching your -- closely.

We could hate them for being so perfect — if married musicians Josh Ritter and Dawn Landes weren't so nice. They had us at "Hello. How about some coffee?" and barely batted an eye when we invaded their adorable Brooklyn apartment to shoot this week's video.
The low-key, stylish couple — who are about to celebrate their first anniversary — set up a guitar and keyboard in their kitchen and performed "Southern Pacifica." It's off Ritter's album So Runs the World Away, coming out May 4.
Both Ritter and Landes (whose album Sweet Heart Rodeo came out in January) have a folksy, borderline country sound we can't get enough of. And they both sing about love — in a sweet, noncheesy way — a lot. It must be nice living with your muse.

The prevalence of short shorts, upper lip sweat, and ghostly white legs can mean only one thing: Summer has arrived. (Hooray!)
And with it a renewed vigor to go out and — if you're single — meet new people. It's easier said than done.
In today's video, DailyCandy staffers solicit advice from bartenders at a few of our favorite Manhattan watering holes. What do people do right and wrong when introducing themselves? Should girls send guys drinks? What's the sexiest thing to order? And, of course, how should you hit on the bartender?
As we suspected, they've seen a lot — from men talking about themselves too much on a first date to a wife confronting her cheating husband.
It's gettin' hot in here.
Want more dating advice? Get it from some precocious 5-year-olds or, as always, our Office Guy.
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain. But here in our office, it's nothing but sunshine on the second floor.
That's because British singer/songwriter Eliza Doolittle — who took the name from Audrey Hepburn's My Fair Lady character of yore — performed her cheerful new song, "Moneybox," on our couch for today's video. Her unbelievable voice, accompanied by only a guitarist, had even our tech guys swaying.
Doolittle just released her eponymous album in the U.S. and was the talk of Coachella. She also has a fashion sense we can appreciate (as soon as she walked in, she zeroed in on the picture of Suno x Loeffler Randall sandals we'd pasted on the wall).
Isn't she loverly?
Buy Doolittle's latest album online at amazon.com. To keep listening, go to her Myspace page. For more music, check out our videos with Christina Courtin, Regina Spektor, and Freelance Whales.
In a recent dream, you were drinking tea on a cloud with NeNe Leakes when half unicorn/half David Schwimmer came over to ask for your digits.
We can't make this glorious dream come true, but Brooklyn-based artist Aurora Andrews can immortalize it — or anything else — in one of her ink/watercolor illustrations.
The charming Andrews, who never goes anywhere without pen and paper, is now accepting commissions. Describe a vivid dream (as mentioned), submit a picture of a favorite thing, or pose for her, as some DailyCandy staffers did in today's video.
Illustrations start at around $200 and increase in price based on difficulty and size. But your lasting keepsake will stand out in a way 487 Facebook pics never could.
And that's what dreams are made of.

Love: Ain't it grand? Except when it's not — and you have to stay in bed, because small things (minivan commercials, the store being out of Cool Ranch Doritos, happy couples) make you sob.
To help us remember when it was all cupids and hearts, we enlisted the help of some children, all 5 to 8 years old. We asked them about everything from whom they love (and if they have boyfriends/girlfriends) to how to mend a broken heart.
One little girl, who was initially shy, boldly proclaimed she'd recently seen her parents kissing — on the lips. Another said she doesn't want to get married unless it's to her little brother.
Which should be enough to get us through Valentine's Day, with or without chips. Want another feel-good video? Here's one in which we asked people about what makes them happy.
In life, there are a few things everyone can agree are awesome: Harry Potter. Mac 'n' cheese. Puppies. And Regina Spektor.
So the release of the latter's amazing new CD/DVD Live in London was the perfect excuse to meet her — and find out what she's really like. With video camera in tow, we asked her about everything from karaoke to movies she's embarrassed she hasn't seen.
As for the album, we'll go ahead and say if you've never been to one of her concerts (and seen her perform songs like "Fidelity," "Us," and "Eet"), it's almost just as great.
We're sure your holiday gift recipients will feel the same.
To buy Live in London, go to reginaspektor.com. While you're waiting for it to arrive, watch our exclusive video of Spektor performing her hit song "On the Radio" (filmed at The Greene Space at WNYC).
Still on the fence about buying Regina Spektor's new CD/DVD, Live in London? To get a taste of what she's like in concert, check out this exclusive performance of "On the Radio" she did for us at The Greene Space at WNYC. Even if you've heard the song a hundred times, our video's still pretty mesmerizing.

It's the day before Thanksgiving and our brains are stuffing. And turkey, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, candied yams, honey baked ham … well, you get the point.
But we know this holiday's not just about food but also about gratitude. So on a beautiful day last week, we walked around New York and asked people what they'll be thankful for tomorrow. We were incredibly touched by everyone's answers — and hope you will be, too.
And while we're at it: Thank you so, so much, readers, for another wonderful year. Happy holidays.

Modestly speaking, you were a big shot in high school: Latin club president, lacrosse captain, mathlete, and, oh, prom queen.
Yet none of it could've fully prepared you for owning a small business.
But the DailyCandy Academy can — and did for the winners of our inaugural Start Small, Go Big Contest, sponsored by InkSM from Chase.
In today's video, see what the one-day crash course in entrepreneurship entailed (including mentoring from industry titans like designer Isaac Mizrahi and chef Marcus Samuelsson) and meet the three fledgling business owners (narrowed from 3,000+ entries with 40,000 votes).
We hope it inspires you to enter next summer for a chance to attend. Did we mention each winner received a check for $10,000?

Your guests are due in ten, and you're shoving a fistful of wilty deli flowers into a vase.
Those bodega blooms have more potential than you might think. In today's video, renowned artist/floral designer Katsuya Nishimori — formerly of Takashimaya Floral and cofounder of the recently opened Florisity in the Flatiron — has tips for making a beautiful French-inspired arrangement for less than $25. Really, you'll be amazed how good a deli bouquet can look.
Of course, we can't discount the pros of going to a florist (more variety, bigger blooms, longer flower life, and the magic touch). But if you can fool one or two people in the meantime, consider it a success.
Florisity, 1 West 19th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues (212-366-0891 or florisity.com). If this puts a bloom in your bonnet, go to one of Florisity's beginner's classes on November 3 or 10, 6-8 p.m., $225.

The only good thing about a swastika is that there needn't be any back-and-forth about what constitutes a hate crime. There is no more unambiguous symbol of hate.
The swastika spray-painted on the parking lot at the Beth Israel Congregation Community Center last week was not the first evidence of anti-Semitic mischief. The Jewish section of Cross Creek Cemetery No. 2 has been vandalized three times this year. Rocks were thrown through glass at the synagogue.
Whether the crimes were connected or not, and whether they were committed by neo-Nazis, malicious youths or some other variety of nitwit, is now the concern of federal authorities. What stands out, and what should give the community a sense of pride, is the congregation's calm defiance and its refusal to be distracted from its common purpose.
It would interesting to nab a perpetrator and ask what he was trying to say. What was the intended result of this sneak-and-run stuff? What response did he expect? But he might not even know, and certainly couldn't explain it half as lucidly as the congregation explained itself simply by going about its business.
Rabbi Steven Rosenberg is right: "It's sad that in the 21st century it's still around." But it's sad because, as this city knows, "We are in so many ways past this."

Don't be a Pawn on a Board
By Dena Arstall (BC11)
Last month, I made the difficult decision not to apply for a senior board position in the racing industry. It was a position I had aspired to and for which I was qualified. Moreover, someone, who I hugely respected in the selection process, had suggested I put my name forward. What was stopping me send in an application at the very least? I decided to examine my motives in a broader context.
Recently, I attended a 'Women in Racing' meeting. The topic of women on boards had been addressed, along with the failure of the industry to recognise the skills a woman can bring to the boardroom. Perversely, many of the best conversations between women take place in the sanctuary of the Ladies' cloakrooms and many truths are expressed in these unofficial meeting rooms. A few of the incumbents were discussing the event and seemed demotivated by the boardroom discussion.
"Why do senior women assume that all women want to be on flipping boards?" Cubicle 1 exclaimed
"I agree. I just came to share ideas and meet other women in the industry", Cubicle 2 rejoined
"I am not here to fill quotas", articulated Cubicle 3 over the drone of the hand dryer.
I now had reason to consider these sentiments. What did I really want? It is a question that coaching clients often ask and needs careful unpicking.I decided, on reflection, I was trying to serve the racing industry. Taking this position might achieve this but was it suited to my skillset? I re-read the executive description and decided not. I also formed the impression that the role was neither creative nor expansive and might not exist in two years time. Was this what I was aspiring to?
I reminded myself what made me interested in applying in the first place. One answer is that I was flattered to be considered a potential candidate… not a basis for a decision. More important, perhaps, was the fact that I had been asked. This gave me a certain obligation to consider the role. This obligation was intensified by my knowledge that the Davies Report would put an onus on this employer to hire a woman candidate if possible. I realised i was fulfilling a gender obligation: namely as a suitable candidate I had a duty to apply. This disturbed me. My ambitions, unconsciously, were being gender motivated. I felt, I should apply despite having logical and instinctive reasons for not doing so. Indeed, I would have to stand off existing committees that were important to me and which satisfied my wish to help the industry I cherish. Increasingly, I am finding with coaching clients, there are current gender expectations of women that push them into accepting roles they are unsuited to and do not want. I was now experiencing this first hand.
To be authentic and get the most out of a role, you must genuinely want it. Do not accept it because of a feeling of obligation that will be articulated by the words," I should do it". I sit on racing committees and boards because of a genuine desire to make a difference in an industry I care about. That same desire gives me license to relinquish roles I am not suited to in any other way than being a women. To follow a blind pursuit of the boardroom, not only demeans my aspirations, but those of women in general. We can all become pawns on boards, but self awareness will ensure that we play at a higher level.

I win I win I win!!!
I won a contest and i can't believe it. I never win anything. Now everyone says that but i really NEVER WIN ANYTHING! No love from the cake walk, no raffle numbers of mine ever called, my name is never selected, but finally my day has come. Ok so i've over done it a bit, but i won a really cool baby book from this blog here. All i had to do was make a post about why i like an item from a store here is what i wrote "There is a lot i love on this site but this mobile is uber cool http://www.fawnandforest.com/categories/16-mobiles/products/604-recycled-magazine-mobile-
I like it because it is recycled and i love the look of things hanging from the ceiling. I decor my children's room mostly with dangly things. Now if i could someday produce girls ( not just boys) i would decorate her room in only dangly things like chandeliers many of them actually because no girl should grow up without large amounts of chandeliers hanging from her ceiling." Finally my quirky humor is paying off !
I also won because i figured out how to make an awesome shilohette from a pic. One of my favorite blogs Thompson family life is always packed full of such creative ideas i am actually suprised it has taken me this long to steal on of her ideas. Thanks for all the inspiring ideas Danielle.
Tut. coming soon!

We've been majorly spammed in the past. To the point where checking whether the editor was a human or a robot wasn't enough. To the point where we couldn't keep up with restoring defaced pages either. Some of this community members wanted to point their clients to this website, and wouldn't dare doing so because of foul contents. So we went bold and asked our host LaurentBossavit to disable the edit option. Our hope was to clean up contents, leave this website as a reference for future generations, and move on with some other form of landing point for anyone interested in dojos. Then we got busy and a way too much time has passed by. The wiki went into hibernation mode, waiting for better times to get back to activity.
Back to now. The wiki is still in hibernation mode - but we're not anymore. Please accept all our apologies for not getting the wiki back to a workable mode faster. Our first goal is to satisfy those of you who wanted to update the WikiPages? for a legitimate reason. This is far less than perfect, but until further notice, if you want to change something on the wiki, please write us and let us know.
This is sad. This is not the way a wiki is meant to function. And for sure this is not the way we wanted this specific wiki to function. We wanted everyone to be able to read and contribute to what we still see as experimental work, shaping new ways of teaching and learning programming techniques. We're working out a way to be able to welcome input from anyone intersted in coding dojos, and to keep spammers out at the same time. As soon as we have a viable solution, we'll let you know. If you have suggestions, please write us (our mail addresses are on our respective WikiPage?).
Counting on your understanding, -- EmmanuelGaillot & EmilyBache.
The purpose of this wiki is to gather user stories for what the Coding Dojo global web site should provide to its user community. The wiki will provide "scaffolding" while the site grows in functionality to meet these requirements.

- " This is a hostel I will keep in mind next time I go to London. Good location, near underground stations. Small but sufficient, clean and nice rooms. Nice tiled bathroom. No noise, either from within of from outside, during the night. Nice also with the blackout curtains, I like a dark room when I sleep! Couldn't be much better actually! "

- " Very nice area, very nice staff. Could have a more exciting common area. But all in all a very nice hostel. "
- 12 Aug 2013 Anonymous Denmark
- " A very noisy place! This hostel regularly hosts large groups of teenagers and what sometimes comes with that, like when I was there, is running in the hallways, yelling, and a whole lot of door slamming, until early hours of the morning. The staff were fine but don't come here if you wan't peace and quiet. "
- 09 Aug 2013 Bobbi Canada
- " YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED !! SUCH A DISGUSTING HOSTEL ! Room 309 has nine people sleeping in only 9 square meters - tiny and crabbed room. No window, as it was hidden behind a bed - no light or fresh air. Litter everywhere under and behind beds ; the room is never cleaned and is really dirty. Bathroom - ensuite room - was absolutely filthy and disgusting ; never cleaned for real and really scary. The lockers under the beds are not even free. Don't book in this hostel ; rooms are just filthy bins. "
- 03 Aug 2013 Anonymous France
- " We stayed in the "hotel" part of this building (i.e. private room). Our bathroom didn't have a working vent, which was unpleasant. There is also no air conditioning, which isn't the end of the world, but it got a little hot on the 5th floor. The heat was tolerable with the window open, although the street below was rather loud. "
- 17 Jul 2013 Kim USA
- " The hostel is a five-minute walk distance from Queensway Tube Station (Central Line). There are multiple bus lines as well. It has multiple rooms but you can also get double and twin rooms with private bathroom. The staff is amazing, very accommodating. There are all sorts of affordable restaurants in the area. There is no wireless internet in the rooms, though. "
- 30 Jun 2013 Elza Brazil
- " Really good value for money, room very clean, not very big but enough for 3 people. The lift is very very slow but it's a detail. Breakfast is simple but sufficient (toast, cereals, milk, coffee, tea, yogurt, jam and butter), staff is very helpful and friendly. Nice surprise : didn't have to pay to store our luggages (don't know if the same for dormitory though). Also, the hotel part (our room) was very quiet at night ... but very hot in the room. "
- 27 Jun 2013 Carina Belgium
- " Nice and quiet hostel. A very nice area. A great ensuite for a couple with a bathtub and comfy bed. "
