The new youth-escort policy that Cross Creek Mall put in place last month has accomplished its goals, general manager Matt Holligan said last week.
The policy, implemented June 15, says anyone under 18 must be with a parent or guardian from 6 to 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. It's a policy that mall owner CBL & Associates has enacted at a couple of dozen of its 90 mall properties to curtail disturbances and fights among large groups of loitering teens.
At Cross Creek, the situation started to worsen after last year's shooting on Black Friday. More shoppers became concerned about their safety at the mall.
"Every weekend gets a little easier to manage," Holligan said. "Stores are reporting positive results. The community has complimented us many times over, and word is getting out to our real estate partners - our future tenants - of the improvements which will help our new tenant mix opportunities down the road."
As of Thursday, Holligan said, no citations had been issued for breaking the policy.
"Obviously, we've educated several. But they've all been cooperative," he said. "It has been a very positive situation."
Meanwhile, the mall's multimillion-dollar renovation that got under way following the Fourth of July continues. It's the first major work on Cross Creek Mall since the food court was added a decade ago, and is expected to wrap up by the November holiday season.
The improvements primarily include surface treatments, better lighting, redesigned entrances, furniture amenities, renovated bathrooms and an inside children's play area near J.C. Penney.
The project is going on wing by wing. The food court restrooms are shut down so they can be renovated, Holligan said. Once that work is completed, the restrooms in the Sears wing will closed for renovation.
"We're adding a new family lounge and family restroom component in that area," he said.
The children's playground area is being designed and is expected to open near the end of the renovation.
The work is taking place after the mall is closed for the night.
"It's time. We've evaluated the mall that we own," Holligan said, "and this is one of (CBL & Associates') top performers. In order to take it to the next level, we must provide customers the stores they want and the experience they expect. We'll invest in those efforts."

Ode to Summer
At this same time last year, I visited my dear friend Caroline Courtauld's English country house, Spencer's, and its gorgeous gardens (www.spencersgarden.net)
at the height of mid-summer. The stunning 17-acre garden was at its peak and awash in a sea of vivid colors. It was spectacular!!
Unlike most British gardeners, Caroline prefers the French method of growing vegetables alongside flowers instead of the typical English design of keeping the two separate. We feasted that evening on a light spinach soup, steamed zucchini, and the first of the season's broad beans and pan-seared salmon. All of the succulent, organic vegetables were picked right before dinner.
Caroline & I met on our first trip to China in 1979. We both signed on to one of the first official tourist groups to witness the culturally ravaged (but still extraordinary) country. In addition to being an author and photographer of a number of books on Burma, Hong Kong and China, she is on the board of Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres, an organization established by her late friend, Maggie Keswick Jencks (who was a famous author, landscape designer, and painter) and her husband Charles, the noted architect. The fourteen centers offer help for cancer patients and their families, including information, benefits, advice, psychological support, and courses in stress reducing strategies — and everything is free of charge.

UK Government In Plot To Scare Us Silly
The UK government yesterday raised the 'terror threat level' from substantial to severe. This was, according to the Home Secretary, not linked to the failed Christmas day plane bombing in Detroit, U.S.A. This was all that the minister was prepared to say and would not give further details on intelligence received. The new threat level implies that a terrorist incident is highly likely but not, according to the minister, imminent. Read the rest of this entry

Chances are your doctor schedule your first follow up visit a week or two after surgery. On this visit, the doctor will inspect your incision and remove the stitches or staples. He or she will also verify the correct functioning of ICD.
After the first return visit, it is likely to return for follow-up of the CDI every three to six months. If you have problems or complaints, this schedule up should continue for the next three to four years. During follow-up visits your doctor will monitor the battery level of your CDI, programming and electronic records. After three to four years, according to their progress, monitoring can be scheduled less frequently. Read the rest of this entry »
Before surgery, be placed on a hospital gown and remove all jewelry and watches.
The most common location to place the pulse generator of the CDI is under the left collarbone. Will be shaved and cleaned skin in this area and put in a local anesthesia. If you need more than a local anesthetic to feel comfortable, your doctor may use conscious sedation, a form of anesthesia that allows you to stay awake and pain during surgery.
I made a small incision in the area numb your collarbone. Then made a small incision in a vein (called the cephalic vein) under your collarbone.

There is an obvious answer to the Stonehenge controversy: it would have been an abattoir.. Henges would have been cattle pens originally, those with standing stones would have been defensive cattle corrals: the standing stones being body shields for those protecting their live stock from those trying to steal it.. Stonehenge would have started of as such a place to protect the domestic cattle that had been introduced after the natural venison and beef supply had been exhausted.. When the cattle ranges were extended into the valleys of Avebury, the sarcens would have been transported to build an abattoir to process the introduced domestic cattle.. Blue-Stonehenge would have been where cattle were fasted for two days before being washed down and walked along the avenue to the abattoir.

Published June 21, 2013
The eerie megaliths of Stonehenge have inspired speculation for centuries.
Druids—and sometimes aliens—have been suspected of planting the 4,500-year-old stones. Is Stonehenge an astronomical calendar or a place of healing or a marker for magical energy lines in the ground? For a long time, no one really knew, though some theories were more grounded in reality than others.
But now, we may be a little bit closer to understanding the monumental Neolithic site. Archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson and his colleagues at the Stonehenge Riverside Project, whose research was funded in part by the National Geographic Society, spent seven years excavating Stonehenge and its surroundings. This month, Parker Pearson published the project's findings in a new book, Stonehenge—A New Understanding: Solving the Mysteries of the Greatest Stone Age Monument.
National Geographic writer Rachel Hartigan Shea spoke with Parker Pearson about what he and his colleagues discovered and how modern celebrants greeting the summer solstice at Stonehenge may have gotten the wrong day.
What got you first interested in researching Stonehenge?
Well, I have to say I didn't actually have any interest at all in Stonehenge. I was working with Ramilisonina, a Malagasy archaeologist. He comes from a megalith-building culture, so I thought he'd be interested to see Stonehenge. I took him to take a look, and he said, "What do you mean you don't know what it's for? It's obvious." Then he said, "Mike, have you learned nothing in all of our work together with standing stones in Madagascar?"
He explained to me it was surely built for the ancestors. In Madagascar, they build in stone for the ancestors because it is a permanent medium—permanent like the ancestors—whereas they live in wooden houses because those will perish just like human life will end. I laughed initially and said, "Well, I don't think that's necessarily really going to have anything to do with Britain 5,000 years ago."
But I realized that actually we did have timber circles very close to the stone circle of Stonehenge. That was quite a bombshell for me.
How were the excavations that you worked on at Stonehenge different from previous excavations there?
I think the important thing was not to dig just at Stonehenge but to actually investigate the wider landscape around it and to begin by looking at this area of the timber circles close by. It was there that we found that the place of wood had indeed to do with the living. (See Stonehenge pictures.)
When we came back to Stonehenge and dug there, we recovered some 60 cremation burials inside Stonehenge. What we now know is that Stonehenge was the largest cemetery of its day.
Ramilisonina's ideas about a place in stone for the dead and a place in wood for the living started as a theory but has actually become a fact as a result of our investigations.
The timber circles were located at a site called Durrington Walls. How was that the place of the living?
At Durrington Walls, we have two of these great timber circles—a bit like Stonehenge in wood—at the center of an enormous village. From where we've excavated, you're looking at a fairly dense settlement of houses.
We discovered that they'd been feasting there on a very large scale. We estimate that about four to five thousand people may have gathered there at the time they were building Stonehenge. (Take a Stonehenge quiz.)
We also know that there were seasonal influxes into the settlement at Durrington Walls. Through analysis of the age patterns on the teeth of pigs, we can see that there are particularly high points in the slaughtering patterns. The pigs had given birth in spring, and what we're seeing is a culling in the middle of the winter.
Here we are on the summer solstice, but this evidence suggests that people were gathering in large numbers at the winter solstice. We've been getting it wrong in modern times about when to gather at Stonehenge.
So Stonehenge was built to commemorate the dead?
Stonehenge wasn't built in order to do something, in the same way you might build a Greek temple to use it for worship. It seems much more likely that everything was in the act of building—that you'd construct it, then you'd go away. You'd come back 500 years later, you'd rebuild it in a new format, and then you'd go away.
I think we have to shake off this idea of various sorts of priests or shamans coming in every year over centuries to do their thing. This is a very different attitude to religious belief. It's much more about the moment. It's about what must have been these upwellings of religious—almost millennial—belief, and once the thing is done, then everyone disperses and goes back to their lives.
What do the summer and midwinter solstices have to do with where Stonehenge is located?
One of our discoveries in 2008 was on the avenue that leads out of Stonehenge. As you are moving along the avenue away from Stonehenge, you are looking toward where the sun rises on the midsummer solstice. If you turn 180 degrees and look back toward Stonehenge, that's where the sun sets on the midwinter solstice. Underneath the avenue, we discovered a natural landform, formed in a previous ice age, where there are grooves and ridges that by sheer coincidence are aligned on that solstitial axis.
Right next to this landform are pits dug to hold posts that were put up 10,000 years ago, much older than Stonehenge. Another archaeological team has discovered down by the river next to Stonehenge a huge settlement area for hunters and gatherers, which seems to have been occupied on and off for something like 4,000 years before Stonehenge itself was ever built.
We think that long before Stonehenge this location was already a special place. These hunters and gatherers may have been the people who first recognized this special feature in the land where the earth and the heavens were basically in harmony.

Sean Couture is known for their exquisite beading and unique colors. Peaches Boutique has over 10,000 dresses in stock and ready to ship for Prom 2014! We carry a wide variety of styles, colors, sizes and designers to help you find your dream dress. Order your 2014 Prom Dress today and receive Free Shipping and No Tax!
Quick Tip: Be sure to wear your Prom shoes around the house before the event. This will cause the bottoms to become scuffed and less slippery. It will also cause the shoes to gain some elasticity; allowing your feet to remain pain-free at Prom.
Let's face it; no one is the perfect model size. That means that prom dress alterations may be a necessary part of purchasing any prom dress. While alterations may be time consuming they are worth it if you want it to look perfect on you. When getting alterations you will want to ask to see a sample of the seamstresses work. You will also want to ask for an alteration quote before you leave your prom dress with the seamstress, this way no one is surprised.
For a more specific shipping time go to the shipping link and view the UPS shipping chart. Please allow 72 hours to process your order (not including Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays). If you need the merchandise sooner you have the option to select 2 day air or next day air for an additional price. Since we are not the shipping company, we cannot be held responsible for delayed or lost shipments once the package leaves our warehouse. Under most circumstances, we ship our prom dresses through UPS. The same day your package leaves our warehouse we will send you the UPS tracking number. This way you can track your merchandise every step of the way until it reaches its destination. If for some reason we do not have your prom dress in stock or cannot get it by your wear date, we will notify you immediately and there will be no charge to your credit card.

Several members of the Kardashian clan were spotted in London on May 21 filming for the upcoming 9th season of their reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Scott Disick and Jonathan Cheban were seen out and about town with Rob and Kim Kardashian. That same day she tweeted:
"Lord Disick in the house!!! LOL"
PICTURES: Check out more on the Kim Kardashian page
I belive she is refering to Scott Disick walking with a cane and wearing a pimp coat (Here). What I can't believe is that Keeping up with the Kardashians has been on for 8 seasons already. Man I'm getting old. It's already time for me to have the early bird dinner special and then go to sleep. Friday is meatloaf day, so I'll chalk that up as a win for me.

HappyPros: Speed baby! Cons: Could not make this particular drive into a bootable drive for ISO. I had to purchase a separate drive for this. This doesn't take away the fact that this drive is a wonderful choice. Did you find this review helpful? |
Outstanding USB 3.0 flash drive.Pros: Excellent transfer speeds. Saving large amounts of time compared to my former USB 2.0 drive. Cons: Bootability issues abound with USB 3.0 drives - but it's no fault of this particular drive or manufacturer. As UEFI becomes more commonplace, this should be less of a hassle. Did you find this review helpful? |
ExcellentPros: The drive arrived quickly - within two days (not the 5+ days indicated)! I tested the drive and the speeds were at least as advertised. It is fast and moves the required files as I wished. It is thin enough that I can use it while using it with my other ports without interference. Cons: None thus far. Other Thoughts: The company shipped the drive to me fast. The mechanism for extruding the USB connector seems okay although I am not a fan of these types of mechanisms. It does positively lock. I am using the drive to move three large (15 GB total) Outlook PST files from desk to laptop for travel. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good device, until it diesPros: This drive does the job very well, has been detected by computers virtually every single time without hiccups, and transfers speeds was fantastic (under the host's capabilities) Cons: It finally died after one month and a half of daily usage, see the other thoughts section. This might NOT be the drive's fault. An RMA is currently underway with SanDisk. Other Thoughts: I'm an IT guy, and I have used this drive on customers PC on a daily basis to diagnose, clean or otherwise service PCs in a computer shop. Basically every PC I have to touch has used my USB key, and I use this drive in a write once, read *ALOT* of times, where I have ISO's and Live OSes being booted off this USB key. Did you find this review helpful? |
The FlashPros: Awesome ... best flash drive I have ever owned. Cons: I wish the plastic did not scratch so easily. Other Thoughts: The speeds are highly dependent on your source/destination drive. My Samsung 840 can copy from this drive at nearly 1gb/s. 1gb files move instantaneously. 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
So Tight!Pros: 11 out of 10. 180/110MB read/write with ATTO Disk Benchmark. SanDisk states up to 190MB/s read and 110MB/s write and my scores are right in line with that! I installed a Windows 7 .iso to the drive to boot from and I'm about to test an install to an SSD. I am about to be amazed. Also, I booted a live Linux .iso in 45ish seconds, as if it were installed on a HDD. The work it performs in USB 2.0 slots is great too! Caps everything at 35/35MB read/write. The USB lever switch is solid feeling and feels "the 4-letter word for risque" when I use it. I. Love. This. Drive. Cons: Why it didn't come with a lanyard is beyond me. Really, just throw one in haha. I have a lanyard for it though. The drive is too awesome to drop an Egg. It deserves every Egg. Sandisk did very well. Other Thoughts: I don't use the 2GB of Cloud storage that comes with the purchase of the drive. Seriously SanDisk should just include a lanyard instead if you ask me. :) Also I have not used the encryption feature and probably won't. But seems like a good feature nevertheless. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Till death do us part - which happenedPros: When it worked, it stored a lot, and it moved it quickly. Cons: Bricked. For the month preceding it's demise, it would occasionally lock up computers when it was plugged in. Last week though, it finally became unreadable. While some computers won't even recognize it now, others will say that it needs to be reformatted to be usable. If you attempted a reformat, it will fail. Other Thoughts: Don't waste your money. If you're thinking this drive will somehow be magically better because it's a brand name, you might end up sadly mistaken. I would recommend another brand. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fast FAST F A S T ! ! ! !Pros: Plug and play operation, absolutely flawless integration. It is faster than some older hard drives!! Cons: Sensitive push button mechanism requires a bit of getting use to. If any pressure is applied the usb interface will retreat backward. Other Thoughts: Extreme is a fitting name for this device.

I recently lost a ton of weight. How can I keep it off without going crazy over every pound?
The secret to maintaining weight is to not look at the number of pounds but instead at the percentage of body fat. Make sure you are eating quality calories (like quinoa, brown rice, lean proteins, etc.). Working out and building lean muscle will help you maintain the weight loss as your muscle will be burning calories.

Beautiful as a birthday gift.
By Yvonne
from Scarborough, ON
Should have buy one for myself. Thank you Diamonelle!
Beautiful but small
By mimi
from Gatineau (Quebec)
These earrings are quite delicate and small but beautiful. It was difficult to gauge the size not having seen them on a model. Therefore I was a bit disappointed with the size. The stones are very shiny (more so than the diamonelle tennis bracelet that I purchased last year) and they are well made. I kept them because of their quality. I will definitely wear them often with the 3-ring pendant that I also purchased. I would highly recommend them to anyone who likes smaller earrings.
By Liz
from Halifax
Bought for my mom's birthday. Sent directly to her. I have not seen them, but she raves about them. She loves the colour, the clarity of the stones, and the little dangle to them.
By LAURA
from NORTH YORK
These earrings are perfect for dress-up or even for everyday wear. They are so pretty, feminine and delicate, but also unique. As usual, Diamonelle quality is superb.

Top 5: WWF Finishing Moves of All Time
We've never been a big fan of lists, but whatev it is summer. We want every Wednesday to be a top five list. But with a slight twist. We're asking for reader submissions. It can be a top five list about anything you want. Just email us your list, with youtube links and pics. We'll pick the best one for the week and post it. If no one does it, really we could care less.
We'll start.
During the playoffs the great blog "The Big Lead," had this [post] about the top five WWF entrances of all time.
We wanted to make this post, but we were to busy watching the world champs.
But now that it is summer, we have the time to sit down and compile our list of the top five finishing moves in the history of the WWF (we refuse to call it the WWE.)
It goes without saying that WWF references are our bread and butter. In any given recap, you'll see one.
We firmly believe that in some strange way, the WWF is somehow responsible for a lot of sports bloggers.
See, back in the mid-90's we had no internet or message boards to read/react about some big time match. When Monday Night Raw went off the air at 11:01 pm on USA, you we're always left wanting more. The same thing with all the pay-per-views.
So in some ways are quest to update shit and get things out is from a place inside that remembers when there was nothing of the sort.
The following is our top five, plus some honorable mentions of all time finishing moves in the history of the WWF.
Sykora's Agent: Interview Never Happened
[Image from our Parade Flickr Group]
"Everybody regards 'Blesk' [and its sister paper 'Aha!' where the interview was published] as a publication that makes up about 90 percent of its stories," said Walsh in a story that appeared in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Petr said he saw the story and laughed. He couldn't believe it was being talked about on all these web sites back in the states."
However, that doesn't mean that Sykora will be returning to the Penguins next season. The Pittsburgh Penguins do not have very much salary cap space to work with.

Our Ten Favorite Regular Season Pens Games - 2008/2009
If you Google "rollercoaster of emotions" you won't find anything about the Pens 2008/2009 season anywhere near the first page.
But you should.
Last season the Penguins made the economy look stable.
There were exhilarating wins that caused you to hug random strangers in a bar.
There were heartbreaking losses that made you punch your significant other in the face.
There were a whole bunch of games that you don't even remember.
These are our favorite games of the season.
Wonderful World
A brand new Stanley Cup champions banner will be raised to the very old Mellon Arena rafters during the Penguins' Oct. 2 season opener against the New York Rangers.
Since the NHL released the regular-season schedule Wednesday, the planning has begun for the Penguins' opening-night ceremonies. Team vice president of communications Tom McMillan said other than the date, no other details have been finalized.
It could be a night filled with mixed emotions as the Penguins and their fans celebrate their third Stanley Cup victory and cherish the final season-opener at Mellon Arena.
The conference and division championship banners also will be on display along with a scoring title banner, which will include center Evgeni Malkin's accomplishment from this past season.
They'll hang from the 48-year-old building until at least April 8, when the Penguins will play their last regular-season game -- against the New York Islanders -- at Mellon Arena.
[The Trib]
Does anyone else find the division championship banner confusing?
Maybe it's just the summer and we're tired.
Someone please explain.

CHP joins holiday 'lifesaving challenge' on area's highways
Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2013 — The California Highway Patrol is joining several other state highway patrol agencies across the nation to participate in two separate traffic safety challenges during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Keeping in line with the CHP's mission of saving lives, both campaigns have set a goal of zero fatalities during the five-day period, a mission which might prove impossible.
The first of two campaigns is called the "Interstate 5 Challenge." The five-day lifesaving traffic safety effort is a joint endeavor between the CHP, Oregon State Police and the Washington State Patrol. The focus throughout the "Arrive Alive on I-5" campaign will be on seat belt usage, driving under the influence, speed and aggressive driving.

I'm a huge fan of action movies and obviously a committed CC fan. But as much a I liked Raise the Titanic (I was younger then) I didn't really like Sahara. My poll results would therefore reflect D, 2, D. I accept that it would have been hard to retain all of the book within one film but the characters simply did not seem to mirror the book characters. Had I not read so many of Clive's novel it is possible I might have enjoyed the movie more? See my latest post about the movie goofs. |
Buzz Knight | Posted on Apr 15 2010, 10:29 PM | ||
A 1 a Great flick !! Loved it !!! | |||
Lefty | Posted on Jun 20 2009, 06:23 PM | ||
A : Sahara is a great movie. It's not Forest Gump, but it's very enjoyable to watch more than once or twice. 2 : Sahara somewhat followed the book. I don't think you could fit any CC book into a movie time slot. They got most of the main points in, and I didn't find myself going "hey, they missed that part" while watching. c : The characters in the movie were somewhat like the characters in the book. There isn't an actor alive that could fill the shoes of a CC character. That's why they call it fiction. McConaughey was reasonable stand in for Dirk, Steve Zahn was pretty good, too. The rest, well, I'm with everyone else that posted. I'd say more, but poster "Northwest Truefan" pretty well sumed up my take on it all. |
pink little birdie | Posted on Jan 30 2009, 01:12 PM | ||
A : Sahara is a great movie Def my top four which otherwise includes shawshank, bridge on river Kwai and 10 things. 2 : Sahara somewhat followed the book it's hard to make a novel into a movie and do it proper justice... some scenes I would have left out and some I would have included. but I still loved it. c : The characters in the movie were somewhat like the characters in the book I heart Matthew McConnachey and after he was Dirk pitt I went out and brought a bunch of his movies and will still go see one of his movies cos he's in it (Julia Stiles and Kirsten Dunst or the only other stars I do this for). |

CCfansince1976 | Posted on Jan 19 2009, 07:27 PM | ||
The point is moot with all the drama surrounding the lawsuits. The name Cussler is kryptonite to Hollywood for the foreseeable future... sad, as I enjoyed Sahara and looked forward to two additional movies. |
JohnChar | Posted on Dec 20 2008, 10:45 PM | ||
b 3 c Seems to us if they can make movies like the "National Treasure" series and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, they could make Cussler movies that are true to the books as far as convoluted plots and unbelievable (computer-generated) action scenes. We suspect they just didn't have the budget to do "Sahara" justice. Matthew as Dirk was pretty good except for the lack of "steel" that Dirk possesses when necessary. Did appreciate his dedication to the movie - touring in his Sahara bus and all. Al just wasn't Al, but we liked the character. Might have helped if he looked like our Al . . . I absolutely love William H. Macy, but he might not have been my first choice as Sandecker. (How about Harrison Ford or Tom Selleck ?) That being said, I think Macy is very capable of playing the part differently - how much of his (and others) performance(s) were due to possibly never having read any Cussler and/or poor direction? All in all, we think it was a good enough movie, just not what it could have been as "Sahara". P.S. Got us thinking so we watched it again and upgraded it to a "b". It's a good action movie and a fun romp through the desert. Macy's Sandecker was better than I remembered. But honestly, don't we all picture these characters as we read? You'll never find anyone to fit everyone's idea of who the character "is". |
oswalder | Posted on Dec 5 2008, 05:24 PM | ||
Clearly that person's opinion is going to differ from a LOT of Cussler readers, many of whom hold Sahara in their top 3 all time Cussler books. I guess if you didn't like the book, you'd be justified in thinking the movie was good. If you liked the book, you'd be hard pressed to enjoy the movie as anything other than a good adventure flick. |
mark niks116 | Posted on Dec 5 2008, 04:42 PM | ||
I posted some of the flaws in the movie on IMDB.com oh man i got yelled at big time and some of the names that Cussler lets but it this way some are not fit to post here. But here is what one person said about Arctic Drift ARCTIC DRIFT,the new Dirk Pitt book, is upon us !!! In ARCTIC DRIFT, Cussler and son Dirk imagine the U.S. and Canada on the brink of war in their third Dirk Pitt novel writing as a team. In 2011, as the price of gas hits $10 a gallon, President Garner Ward must contend with a corrupt Canadian cabal that's subverting efforts to solve America's energy problems. Pitt barely escapes serious injury when a bomb destroys a D.C. lab along with records of research into an artificial photosynthesis process that could, almost immediately, eliminate the threat of global warming. That discovery may be connected with a legendary failed 19th-century sailing expedition to the Arctic as well as a series of deaths due to the phenomena that the Native Americans of British Columbia know as the Devil's Breath. The Cusslers won't suspend many readers' disbelief as yet another plot becomes far fetched and borders on the absurd, but Cussler fans in search of a quick, exciting read should be satisfied since preposterous adventure is their thing.Less twins,thankfully, with more of Dirk and Al,which,hopefully,will be a continuing tread, even as they approach late middle age. As a series of thrillers the Dirk Pitt books take a beating in the reality department,but that's nothing new to Pitt fans. Clearly,the overbearing Cussler father and son continue their kitchen sink style of writing,including unbelievable and ludicrous idea after idea in a format designed for the more brain dead of readers which describe the rabid fan base that are conned time and again to propel the ridiculous stories to the best seller list. This novel would greatly benefit from a screenplay like the one that made the overstuffed and asinine book SAHARA into a a great adventure film. |

If a person never read the book Sahara and got the movie then it would be a good movie. But like most of us who have read the book can see the flaws in the movie i would give the movie a C- |

Winner: Samsung
In a narrow victory, Samsung remained reigning champ of the 19-inch to 30-inch Flat Panel Displays category, despite losing both the partnership and support subcategories to NEC. Samsung won the product innovation subcategory, buoyed by its outstanding 106.9 score in product quality, which was the second highest in that criterion in the overall survey.
2012 Annual Report Card Home Page |
In a repeat of 2011, Samsung took the overall award by just a fraction of a point. The vendor's victory, from the standpoint of product innovation, can be attributed to it being a trailblazer in the display industry, said Richard Hutton, director of channel marketing at Samsung. Whether it's LED panels or virtualized desktops, he said, Samsung is the first vendor out of the gate with new display technologies.
"I think if you asked a sampling of value-added resellers in the U.S. channel what they recognize Samsung for, I think displays would be one of the first things to spring to mind," Hutton told CRN. "We certainly had some firsts into the market. We were the first to really transition from back-in-the-day CRT to LCD flat panels."
Hutton also emphasized Samsung's commitment to ensuring partners have the resources they need to be profitable. Webinars, newsletters and broader sales support are just a few of the ways Samsung ensures its partners' success--regardless of their size.
"We've expanded our reseller coverage model, so we are now touching way more channel partners than we were in years past," Hutton said. "We were making the mistake in years past of really just looking after our larger partners, but now we are making sure that those [smaller] partners have a sales contact."
Samsung's products and partner program are "world-class," agreed Mont Phelps, president and CEO of NWN, a Waltham, Mass., solution provider and Samsung partner.
"I think the quality of their products speaks for the technical excellence Samsung offers," Phelps said. "Any partner program starts with great products and a commitment to the channel Samsung has both, plus an effective field engagement team."

text: Home Politics The Black Church's Role in School Reform Your Take: Today's pastors must learn from civil rights activists and lead from the pulpit. By: The Rev. Floyd Flake, Bishop Charles E. Blake Sr. and Mayor Kevin Johnson Posted: Oct. 28 2012 12:05 AM 0 The Washington Post/Getty Images (Special to The Root) -- Education is the civil rights issue of our time. President Obama rightfully made this assertion in 2011, but local leaders -- specifically in black-American communities -- have faced this harsh reality for decades. While strong public schools have played major roles in transforming neighborhoods and spurring local economies, African-American communities have been continuously plagued with poor-performing schools that fail our children. Recent statistics from the U.S. Dept. of Education paint a vivid, yet sobering picture of the state of education in these communities. Almost 85 percent of African-American fourth-graders and nearly 90 percent of eighth-graders in our public schools are not proficient in reading or math. We are too great a nation not to provide a high-quality education for every child, especially those in our most vulnerable communities. As bipartisan support for meaningful education reforms to eliminate these ills continues to build momentum and expand, it is vital that the role of the faith community also increases. Our historic and powerful constituency provided key leadership during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. During these tumultuous times, pastors provided leadership from the pulpit, becoming a catalyst for eradicating injustice and inequality across society. Given the state of public education in our country, black America needs that same orchestrated guidance to overcome this generation's education crisis. With this in mind, faith leaders from across the country convened in Atlanta on Sept. 21, 2012, for the National Faith Leaders Education Policy Summit. This single-day event, hosted by Stand Up for Great Schools and StudentsFirst, engaged and mobilized more than 130 faith leaders across 35 states around the education crisis that our children face. In this endeavor, Stand Up and StudentsFirst partnered with Church of God in Christ, African Methodist Episcopal, Baptist and other denominations to coordinate this timely discussion. In addition to the faith community, CNN education contributor Steve Perry, Shirley Ford of Parent Revolution and Howard Fuller of Black Alliance for Educational Options also attended the summit as keynote speakers and panelists. This landmark event was momentous for the education-reform movement. More than 100 influential members of a concerned faith community were transformed into activists, unified to push for change and encourage their congregations to follow suit. The authors of this editorial are in full agreement: The black church has the power to be a beacon for the education revolution and a driving force in urging meaningful education reforms. If we truly believe that education is the civil rights issue of our time, we must step up to the plate and demand justice. In order to ensure that our children receive the high-quality education they deserve, it is critical that parents are empowered with the necessary tools to demand change. As faith leaders, we must mobilize and employ our collective resources to their fullest potential to ensure that we're providing all children with equality of opportunity. And by encouraging legislatures to put measures in place that will empower parents and guarantee great teachers in the classroom, we have the ability to educate every child in our communities, regardless of ZIP code.

A girl relates her first experience as a masseuse
My name is Poppy and this is about my first day as a masseuse. I had been recommended by my friend Julie who has already been working at the parlour for three weeks. Julie is working as an intern and is over from the States for a year. I'm eighteen and need the extra cash for uni. Julie said some of the girls take home a thousand a week. Like Julie, I'm doing just one day a week. I want to...Read On

A couple of weeks ago I put a video of me masturbating into my sister's boyfriend's camera. I knew Austin saw it. When he came here he took his camera and left to stay at his house for a while. I imagined him shocked, not knowing what to do, but then slowly realizing how much he craved me, wanting my body, and wanting to taste every last area. I loved thinking of him jacking off to...Read On

My first foray fellating black cock
What had begun as youthful sexual experimentation as a teenager with my best friend Larry when we were both 16, quickly turned into an obsessive need for me to be on my knees sucking on his very big cock in order to get him to cum in my mouth. I had happily become a full fledged cocksucker and I eagerly blew him at every opportunity until he went off to college. After he left,however,...Read On

Nikki slouched low in the chair. Her pussy mound shoved conspicuously into the seam of skin tight jeans.

Young lady learns about college life and other sexual experiences
She had never once thought about it. She never once was around any girl, that she could recall who'd even spoken about it either. In fact, she had never even once, when showering or otherwise, such alone in her bedroom, considered doing something like what she learned later on. Yes, Cassandra, or Sandie as she liked and wanted to be called, soon learned about the "art" of masturbation....Read On

He gets her off in the morning traffic, she cums hard
You remember, don't you, the other morning when you were driving me to work through the morning rush hour? You were wearing a summer dress, which was resting just above your knees. You looked so sexy sitting there watching the traffic. You remember, we had made love the previous night, we were talking about it, how we would build it up, and then hold it back, enhancing the thrill for both of...Read On

I am lucky enough to have two daughters and apart from the expense of the weddings it meant two Stag parties.

I have rather large titties and what's annoying is that guys rarely look me in the eye when they talk to me. On the plus side, a guy staring at my tits makes my nipples grow hard and my pussy start to tingle, which is never a bad thing. I reciprocate, though. If I see a large bundle straining against some tight jeans, my eyes are riveted to it and it's all I can do not to reach out and...Read On

Jack grabbed his girl Emily by the wrist and dragged her to the bathroom. "I'm s…sorry," she whispered. "No, that's not good enough!" Jack replied.

A wakeup call for sporty sport climbers I'm sure... You will find all kinds of moves on this route that are hard to find elsewhere at Rumney... Thought provoking chimneys,and cracks, even a little off-width technique will come in handy... Most of the bolts are close together but there are a couple that might make someone shaky if they are used to Rumney's close bolts... Start up the chimney, remember that using your feet well will help you conserve Energy for the strenuous moves at the top... As the chimney ends make moves left to a good stance and figure a way through a "boulder problem" where you have a few choices (i stay left) to another stance then run it out a little on easy ground to your next bolt and the final chimney/offwidth... Stem for a bit then get in to the squeeze chimney reaching back deep for holds and eventually laying back a few moves to a good hold at the top... Clip the chains and catch your breath... There are many options as far as what moves and techniques you will use this is just my take on it... It is sad that this route is very often wet...
The dark (often wet) chimney on the right side of the crag...
9 bolts to anchor
This was lead originally on gear by Tim Gotwells and called Cold Shoulder, then left fallow for many years until unknowingly retroed by Esmond. It is now a quite popular route when dry. An excellent route for warming up before the harder routes as it uses your whole body. There are several ways to do the top, some more pretty than others! The anchors are right next to those of Strict Scrutiny 13d and the mostly abandoned Paradox.
The best 5.9 at Rumney.
I climbed this again today and I have to say that it was just as excellent as I remembered it. I made a pact with my belayer that from this day on, I will climb it to kick off the fall climbing season every year. She, unfortunately, did not buy in to the pact.
I concur. The best 5.9 at Rumney. Definitely not your average sport climb.
Definitely deserves every star. This kind of climbing is pretty rare at a place like rumney.
Judging by the high praise for this route it will be one of the first routes I get on this spring... cant wait, you all got my interest going!
this.... looks..... SICK!!! im so pumped to get on this this spring! matt if you want a partner im here for ya! :)
Sorry mike this route stays wet for a long time in the spring... thats one reason it took me so long to get around to doing it... always wet...
yeah mike we will def get out this spring and if this is a dry route we will have to tackle it
My favorite 9 at Rumney. It's even better if you ignore the bolts and enjoy some perfectly G-rated rock climbing. It's a mystery to me why this was ever bolted. Defeats the whole character of the climb.
I personally find it more enjoyable climbing it the way it is, and not with a full rack of giant cams swinging around and getting caught as I chimney up the bottom of the often wet start. I wouldn't advocating it being bolted if it was elsewhere, but there is something to be said for the fact that despite being on a very popular crag, the climb lay dormant for something like 25 years until Ed cleaned and bolted the thing. Now people have fun on it all the time.
Bill and I enjoyed climbing this route in the mid 80's
No way I can squeeze in the chimney at the top! I had to do the layback move and it is pretty rad. Loved it!
Did this again today for the second time ever... yeah, its the best 5.9 at rumney... such a great climb!!!!!!!!!! when this one is wet though (most of the time) Bbbutress is the the best 5.9 that is always dry :) ps. i used 3 kneebars in the layback section....
Lee, using knee-bars on this one is 'cheating'. You have long legs! Really unusual sport route. Pumpy!!
knee bars are always "cheating" haha... but the knee beta worked fine for my much shorter friend too... so :P
Did I overlook a bolt in the middle section? I only counted 8 to the anchor, and there was a pretty sizable runout on the easier ground after the first chimney.
Best 9+ in Rumney! (with b b buttress being the best 5.9) Tricky with some good trad like moves.

Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Attorney General George Jepsen issued a joint statement on Monday warning of the perils of concussions and sports-related head injuries, as well as the state law that come into effect after an injury.
Connecticut law requires students who suffer a blow to the head or receive a concussion diagnosis to sit out games and practices until cleared by a licensed medical professional.
"The dangers and lifelong effects of concussions and sports-related head injuries are becoming increasingly clear to doctors and educators who are researching this issue," Governor Malloy said in the release on Monday.
"While proper use of helmets and protective equipment is important, it's critical to remember that no helmet can fully prevent a concussion," said Attorney General Jepsen in the release.
Concussion, a type of traumatic brain injury, is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth.
Under Connecticut law, anyone who has a state-issued coaching permit and who coaches intramural or interscholastic athletics must be periodically trained in how to recognize and respond to head injuries and concussions.
State law also requires coaches to take a student athlete out of any game or practice if the athlete shows signs of having suffered a concussion after an observed or suspected blow to the head or if the athlete is diagnosed with a concussion. Coaches must keep athletes out of games and practices until receiving written clearance from a licensed medical professional.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise that to help minimize the risks of concussion or other serious brain injuries:
- Ensure that athletes follow the rules for safety and the rules of the sport.
- Encourage them to practice good sportsmanship at all times.
- Wear a helmet to reduce the risk of severe brain injury and skull fracture.
However, helmets are not designed to prevent concussions. There is no "concussion-proof" helmet. Even with a helmet, avoiding hits to the head is important.
According to the CDC, parents or coaches may observe the following signs or symptoms if an athlete has experienced head trauma:
- Appears dazed or stunned.
- Is confused about assignment or position or is unsure of the game, score or opponent.
- Moves clumsily.
- Answers questions slowly or forgets an instruction.
- Can't recall events prior to or after the hit, bump or fall.
- Loses consciousness, even briefly.
- Shows mood, behavior or personality changes.
Student athletes may report the following symptoms following a bump, blow or jolt to the head, according to the CDC:
- Headache or "pressure" in the head
- Nausea or vomiting
- Balance problems or dizziness
- Double or blurry vision
- Sensitivity to light and noise
- Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy or groggy
- Concentration or memory problems
- Confusion
- Just "not feeling right" or "feeling down"

Channeling Love
Just wanted to comment and say there was another earthquake in Indonesia 7.0 just a couple of hours ago.
March 14th Sunday 8am their time.
My goodness! I am not afraid, but excited. Shaken, no pun intended.
This is a time for us all to wake up our souls, step out of our bodies, and send our spirit out to encompass the earth with love and understanding.
Step away from Insanity and step closer to Positivity. Love for your selves, your body, your mind. Feel your energy. Be aware and awake to the type of energy that you put out. Take a moment to sit and feel what is going on inside and outside your body. The more you are able to take care of your body the easier it will be to stay positive. During this time it is very important that you remember to drink and give thanks to your water.
Try to go to sleep with some kind of personal intention/s.
With love,

State Rep. will not receive jail time for drunken driving
By Jake Neher
State Representative Bob Genetski will serve no jail time for his drunken driving conviction handed down last month.
The Republican from Saugatuck will have to complete 40 hours of community service. He'll also have to pay fines and court fees.
Genetski was pulled over for driving while intoxicated in January by a Michigan State Police officer. His blood alcohol level was .08 an hour and a half after his arrest.
A jury found him guilty last month.
The maximum penalty would have been 93 days in jail. It could also come with up to 360 hours of community service, and a maximum $500 fine.
Jail time is unusual for first-time offenders.

Serving as a Role Model When he arrived for Freshman Orientation at St. John's University, Sherwin Cadore listened to strong messages of support and encouragement from Orientation leaders, faculty, administrators and others from every corner of the University. He heard the messages, but wasn't sure if he believed them. "I asked myself, 'How much of this can be real?'" In his time at St. John's, Sherwin set out to answer his own question, adding that "I've never been disappointed." Four years have passed, and Sherwin credits many members of the St. John's family for his recent induction into the President's Society. "Since freshman year I wanted to be more than just a student coming to class who only had a loose connection with the University." A Management major in The Peter J. Tobin College of Business, Sherwin had a mission when he arrived at St. John's. He wanted to know what made students excel. "It didn't take long for me to put two and two together. You extend yourself beyond the classroom, engage in extracurricular activities that support your academic goals and give you a practical outlet. That's a recipe for success." Several friends of Sherwin's were members of the President's Society and encouraged him to apply. "I became excited at the opportunities being in the President's Society offered me, and what you can accomplish as a member" — including serving as a role model for others. Being a role model means that people look to you for answers and direction, Sherwin observed. "You're really conscious of your actions, how you carry yourself and the things you value."
Reflection and Support From the beginning of his career at St. John's, Sherwin embraced the Vincentian ideal of service to those less fortunate. Orientation leaders encouraged him to develop that sense of mission and he did so by distributing food to homeless New Yorkers through "midnight runs" and serving in soup kitchens. He participated in Academic Service-Learning as a freshman as well. Of his experience with service, he observed that what stayed with him the longest was the reflection that followed. Sherwin praised St. John's for helping develop his desire not only to perform service, but to consider the meaning and impact of those works. Reflection "is really the greatest part of (service)," he said, adding that "it guides my direction for the next step."

Tailgate Market Schedule: May through December
Every day all day: Self-serve honor system produce stand open on the farm May through December .
Wednesdays: 2-6pm we are at the Montford Market located behind the Chamber of Commerce on Montford Ave.
Saturdays: 8am-Noon- in North Asheville at UNCA
Saturdays: 8am-1pm at the City Market on Charlotte Street
Flying Cloud Farm, managed by Annie Louise and Isaiah Perkinson, produces vegetables, fruits, and flowers for local markets. All produce grown on the farm is sold directly to people at local farmers markets, through our 100 member CSA, and at our self-service roadside stand. The farm is located approximately twelve miles outside of Asheville on route 74A in the last valley before the road climbs the mountain to Henderson County.
Our farming practices rely on cover cropping, amending the soil with OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) approved minerals and fertilizers, annual soil testing, crop rotation, beneficial insect habitat, and careful planning for insect and weed issues. We have a personal relationship with our customers and strive to be transparent about our farming practices and farming operation.
The farm's name is inspired by the name of the stage coach that traveled Drover's road (route 74A) in the mid-1800's. The Flying Cloud made a stop at historic Sherill's Inn, which was purchased in 1916 by Annie's great-grandparents, Jim and Elizabeth McClure, and named Hickory Nut Gap Farm.
Annie is the eldest grandchild of Jamie and Elspie Clarke, who managed Hickory Nut Gap Farm, which is adjacent to Flying Cloud, for many years, as Elspie's parents did before them. Now the farm is managed by our cousins the Agers who can be found through HickoryNutGapFarm.com. Hickory Nut Gap Farm Camp is operated here every summer as well by Susie Hamilton (Annie's Mom) and Annie Ager (Annie's Aunt). The pick up and drop off and half of the camp activities take place here on Flying Cloud Farm. Click Here to Learn more about The Summer Camp.

Welcome back and EPA's mandate forcing oil refineries to do the impossible or -- millions in fines the agency is pushing them.
To use.
Cellular -- -- ethanol you know what that is -- I know exactly what is the problem is this particular biofuel doesn't even exist yet maybe that's why you don't know about it still the EPA is refusing to back down from a costly requirement now the oil industry is answering with its own lawsuit.
-- now is the president the American fuel and petrol chemical manufacturers they represent over 98% of oil companies.
In the country hey Charlie we get the name of that thing right that biofuel.
That's like a loss that you got the name right that does still doesn't exist where there is named or not.
It's made from what won't waste product and stuff like that so in 2007 the EPA says -- let's start mix in this -- to into fuel.
Trouble is I guess you'd be happy to do what maybe you wouldn't be -- you would do what if it existed so how can you be find millions of dollars.
If it if you can't find the thing to -- then.
I'm Mike absolutely right and the I also just in and in Monica Crowley -- -- you know that they are being out of touch and out of control.
Well this is this is this is you know a perfect example of the agency any menstruation.
You know -- continuing their our war on fossil fuels.
By trying to make us -- something that doesn't exist they heaviest you know that that the the divert the law says we have to do it.
The administration EPA has the authority to look and see what's really what's real what's out there.
And and -- just.
It doesn't really and they have it doesn't little bit but it doesn't pass the common sense test in Carolina it a look at this here's some numbers here 500 million gallons this year.
Three billion into it 201516.
Billion in 20/20 they want.
With fines of upwards of millions of dollars for failing to put this -- added chemicals inside but of course -- technological restrictions it just not available.
But it's interesting coming from -- administration which is argued that ethanol subsidies in the like of ethanol doesn't work anyway.
So it seems like it's it's wrong on three different month.
-- this whole program.
Is based on myth.
And not reality this whole renewable fuels biofuels ethanol putting food in your in your gas tank.
Again it is just just it's it's sheer lunacy.
And it's anti consumer and we really have to have congress take a long hard look at this thing.
And say okay we if we pass this -- passed all these things in 2007.
And it done and at a different time let's take a snapshot of 2012.
And going forward let's say it was good for the American consumer and get rid of this crazy program.
Yeah I'm just real quickly Charlie we've got a little bit of different topic here since this you know I've been television a long time.
And as long as I've been in television we've been talking about we have to find all eternity of sources of energy.
You know so we aren't relying on these Arab countries so wind power and solar power stuff like that those are good things aren't they Charlie.
They are good that they can be competitive they are good that they serve the American consumer the way the consumer needs to be to.
You know I haven't energy brought -- -- but.
But Mike right now look that we have under our -- -- off our shores that call not tapping into it and look at look at you know the they look at the sanctions that this president has put on on Canada.
Forbidding the Keystone Pipeline to be are constructed and -- in -- good crude oil got to the refineries in the Gulf Coast.
Did you know we if we can do our -- Resources.
And we don't need to worry about open we can make OPEC and OPEC.
It was as if that's great -- -- this is -- and this is bureaucracy at its absolute worst Charlie drab no thanks so much he's the president the American fuel and Petro chemical.
Factors thanks for breaking this down for hopefully congress shall start paying attention this is or something about it through.
