Moving House. A New Home.
It's late...and I'm tired.....but I wanted to get this post done! And something about our new place is inspiring me. Inspiring me to get more done, chase those dreams and push that little bit further. So, I ditched my glass of red wine for a hot mocha, lit a caramel scented candle & have cozied up in my new workspace within the lounge room of our new house.....which I'm very close to calling our new HOME!
A house but not quite yet a home.....because to me, a home is not just bricks & mortar {or even shiny new appliances & kickass walk in robes} but it's a place that confines a family. A place made of memories & love. A place where tears have been shed, arguments have been had & accidents have occurred......but more importantly a place where the walls are filled with photos & prints, where toys are on show, where laughs & play can be heard, where a messy kitchen can be seen & an aura of joy empowers the room like perfume. We've been here a week {a week today} and I'm very close to saying "Hell yeah....this is our home!"
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. We made the grueling decision to sell our place & move on....we needed to clear up finances, make a fresh start & we desperately needed more space to accommodate our growing family & businesses. Our house was listed on the Sale Market on a Tuesday & 4 days later....we had a signed contract for sale! We already had a 'new home' to move to, so the relief of the house sale was god-sent.
I found the whole process very tiring & stressful. Packing our whole life into boxes was not only exhausting, but also very emotional. Fun to find things we'd forgotton we had buried up in the ceiling {like my old school books & toys & scrapbooks FULL of stories I'd written as a child} also liberating to cull out the crap & clutter {we filled a skip bin} but also scary to see memories & special objects line the cardboard crates. Our life all stacked up!
Last week I bottled up a lot of sentimental emotion. The house we were selling & leaving was not our first home....as we owned a townhouse before we were married. But this house, was our first real HOME! We bought it the year after we were married, with the hope that it would be a family home....a place where children lived. And that it was! Chris spent weeks renovating it & making it perfect before he & I moved in. We really loved that place! And over the past 6 years, that house was more than our home! Those walls surrounding the 3 bedrooms & 1 bathroom were reaping memories....both good & bad. So much growth happened in that home. We bought our 2 babies home from hospital to that home. A lot of first milestones occurred in that cozy loungeroom.....first rolls, first smiles, first steps. It was our haven, our safe place, our home! It's hard to leave all that behind! But it's also so exciting to move on, open new doors & write new chapters. Wise people say not to live in the past. So I won't. But I will cherish & remember.....and look forward :)
Moving day.....we woke to heavy rain! But, the show must go on......
Our whole life fit into that truck! Pretty cool to watch!
Amongst the chaos of boxes & pulled apart furniture {and rain}, we had a family who rallied together to help us move our life; 15minutes up the highway :)
Thank goodness for family {oh gosh, I'm grateful for family!!!} {And to Spencer & Heidi, Mum & Dad.....who knows where we would be now if it wasn't for you guys! You know what I'm talking about.....and from the bottom of our hearts....THANK YOU!}
In life, we have people who are not family by birth or marriage; but by choice or love. Over the road from us, lived an older couple. Stewert; a lovely retired man; spent his days standing in his open garage, reading the paper, smoking his cigarettes & pottering around. In a way, him & his wife; Gloria, became our family too. They watched us grow from a young married couple, to a family of 4. They watched us hit hard times & blessed times. And having Stew watching over our house all day, everyday was reassuring. We already miss him:
And.....now, we're here in this new place. And more space.....boy oh boy, we got it! Spare rooms we don't even have enough furniture to fill yet, storage galore, rooms big enough to dance in & a kitchen that has put pressure on me to be used....LOTS :)
There are a lot of cosmetic, materialistic features about this house that excite me.....like the fact that it's brand new, never lived in before....so the walls are white, the carpets are fresh, everything feels clean & easy. Like the built-in coffee machine, the fireplace, the pool, the walk in robe that would have Carrie Bradshaw jealous & the space....oh the space! And all of these things are GREAT......but do you know what? The things that really invigorating me the most right now about this place......is the view from the back decks; long stretches of sky & a dense Australian bushland:
And the natural light that comes streaming into every room of the house {something we didn't have a lot of in the last place}......
And the fresh air that whooshes in. We have not needed the air-con at all yet.....the breeze & open plan living has been a refreshing & healthy change for us. I love it!
On top of all of that....it's also convenient! We now live about 400m from Ella's school [KINDY] , just minutes from her ballet school & my school {when I return to work one day}. It's easy!
I like this house. I feel at home, and now that the boxes are unpacked, the appliances are being used, the sheets have been slept in and memories are being made, it's definitely beginning to be HOME! Our home! I'd like to think we're going to be here long term. For Ella & Ryder to be studying their high school exams in these exact rooms, and bringing home friends for sleep overs. The home that they come back to for Mum's cooked meals & special family get togethers, and for Dad to fix their cars :) The place that we enjoy many birthdays & Christmases & meals around the table in. But, who knows......a new chapter, a new home may await us in the future again, and that excites me.....but until then, I like it here....I want to stay put :)
Adding this post to Maxabella's GRATEFUL linky.....as I'm beaming with lots of grateful right now!
And heading off to bed....as Mr R will be waking for a night feed soon I'm sure!
A big cheers to new homes, new memories & blessed opportunities!
P.S. Not sure what's going on with my photos tonight.....they are very much out of proportion...ah well, too late to care haaa ;o)

Adoption Applications
Foster Care Program |
Know the Reward of Saving Two Lives!When you foster a homeless dog or cat, you are saving the lives of two animals--the one you care for and one who fills the newly opened space in our no-kill shelter. Some of our animals need to heal, mature or calm down a little before they can be adopted out. They may be too young, too sick, or not socialized enough. Some just do not adapt to shelter life or have been here for a long time and need to move to a home environment. Would you like to help them get back on their paws? Give a stressed, homeless animal a chance to decompress, remember what it's like to be in a loving home, and brush up on its training so it can be adopted. The Baltimore Humane Society is continuously looking for caring and devoted individuals to provide foster homes for animals in need. To increase these animals' chances of adoption, they must be placed into foster care where they can receive the one-on-one attention that they need. Our need for foster homes is especially great during the spring/summer kitten season. Fostering a shelter animal is a wonderful and rewarding experience, but requires time and dedication. Although previous fostering experience is not required, the ideal foster parent will have basic knowledge of animal care and be committed to helping find their foster animals a safe and loving 'forever' home. Here's what our fosters have to say about our foster program: "In the last 7 years, my daughter and I have fostered for 2 other rescues before finding BHS. We actually live in PA and I just love BHS and how they operate. Everyone there has been super to work with (not our previous experience elsewhere) and treat you just like an employee!" - Lisa Ogg Off to My Foster Home!! Requirements

UNDERHILL Police are on the lookout for a 19-year-old Vermont man they say led them on a high-speed chase before abandoning his car and running into some woods.
State police said Sunday theyre seeking the publics help in locating Patrick Milliken, of Jericho.
Officials said the chase began around 5 p.m. Saturday when Detective Sgt. Todd Baxter attempted to stop Milliken for speeding in the village of Smugglers Notch.
After initially stopping, Milliken allegedly drove his car at a high speed at Baxters police cruiser before speeding off on Route 108, where he was observed passing cars and driving recklessly.
Officials say Milliken was later spotted in Underhill, where he eventually stopped before running off. Police say a female passenger told them she wanted Milliken to stop, but he wouldnt.MORE IN This Just InCity Room with the Rich Schneider, President of Norwich University.

In many ways, Material has more than a whiff of Moosa's own life-story about it.
He has been heavily involved throughout the project, helping write the script, being cast in the starring roll and even having a financial stake in the film.
"The challenges that I have of being a South African comedian as a Muslim ... does get dramatized in the story," he says.
"It's not specifically my story because my family is very supportive. There was no moment where I had to challenge my parents specifically to try and achieve my dream, which is what happens in the movie."
Moosa hopes the underlying themes portrayed in the film of an underdog fighting against the odds and tradition will make it a hit outside South Africa.
Like his comedic routines, Moosa has tried to create a piece of art that will resonate with his audience on multiple levels.
He says there are plans to take the film to India and the Middle East and has already visited London to promote the movie at the 2012 BFI London Film Festival.
He adds: "It is a universal tale and I think many communities or people around the world will connect with that story.
"That's the trick, to not make it a South African story but a story about an ordinary person trying to follow their dreams."

SANTA BARBARA BLOWOUT: The January 1969 blowout at Union Oil's Platform A in the Santa Barbara Channel's Dos Cuadras Offshore Oil Field spewed between 80,000 and 100,000 barrels of crude into the water. It was considered catastrophic at the time in terms of the amount of oil spilled and the environmental damage caused, opening the door for the formation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act, and the inaugural Earth Day observance--all in 1970.

The disastrous deluge of BP oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico evokes the memory of a blowout more than 40 years ago that, although not a carbon copy of the Deepwater Horizon incident, remains hauntingly similar in several important ways. The 1969 Dos Cuadras Offshore Oil Field spill in the Santa Barbara Channel was an unprecedented ecological disaster at the time caused by a natural gas-induced offshore rig blowout that caught the oil and gas industry off guard and required a tremendous effort to fix.
What remains to be seen, in addition to just how long the Deepwater Horizon leaks goes unplugged, is whether its legacy leads to the kind of profound changes brought on by the Santa Barbara spill, which amounted to an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 barrels of oil in the sea and covered hundreds of square kilometers. Santa Barbara's misfortunes were influential in the formation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act, the California Environmental Quality Act, and the inaugural Earth Day observance—all in 1970.
BP's woes are, of course, on a much grander scale, given that estimates put the leakage at between 12,000 and 19,000 barrels per day, and counting. And, thanks in part to the Dos Cuadras, Exxon Valdez and other infamous spills, there are a lot more regulations that BP may have violated (the Obama administration announced a criminal investigation into Deepwater last week).
Just like the fallout 40 years ago, changes may be on the horizon. The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) last week notified BP of its intent to file suit under the Clean Water Act over the ongoing Gulf oil spill. This came one day after the CBD notified the EPA and the U.S. Coast Guard that it was suing them for authorizing the use of toxic dispersants without ensuring that these chemicals would not harm endangered species and their habitats. And last week, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar called for new operating standards and requirements for offshore energy companies as well as ordered a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling.
In 1969, as an assistant professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Harvey Molotch had a front-row seat to the Dos Cuadras disaster and its subsequent ramifications. His article, "Oil in Santa Barbara and Power in America," based on the incident would go on to become a founding document in the then-fledgling field of environmental sociology. Scientific American caught up with Molotch, now a sociology professor at New York University, to get his thoughts on Deepwater, its causes and its likely legacy.
What was the Santa Barbara community's initial reaction to the oil leak in the Santa Barbara Channel?
Offshore oil drilling was for most people a new phenomenon in 1969, even though the Summerland Offshore Oil Field had been discovered there in 1957. [Oil was drilled from that location, a little more than a kilometer into the Santa Barbara Channel and under 30 meters of water, until 1996.] Although the area had hosted terrestrial drilling sites for decades, most residents initially protested the new offshore rigs for aesthetic rather than ecological reasons. People never imagined an underwater blowout. On land, you could have control and more direct access to what you're doing. This was not so in the ocean.
Do you see parallels between the current situation unfolding in the Gulf region and the events that took place in Santa Barbara County in 1969?
There are several stark differences between Santa Barbara in the late 1960s and the Gulf region of today. For one, the residents of Santa Barbara and its surrounding area had a different social and economic relationship with the oil industry. At least in the city of Santa Barbara, but also to significant degree in the surrounding communities of Santa Barbara County there was less dependence on the oil industry than in the current Gulf situation. Indeed, the Santa Barbara vision was one of tourism, higher education and, as it was termed at the time "clean industry". There was also well in place a strong presence of major affluence, including a good number of people who were politically, culturally and economically well connected to power centers in the country.
Another difference with the Gulf situation is topographical. The oil in the Santa Barbara Channel was immediately visible to almost anyone with decent eyesight because the city is built almost as an amphitheater to the sea. In contrast the "coastline" of the Gulf is not really a line at all. Instead there are bayous, inlets and wetlands that stretch for miles from the open waters of the Gulf toward higher lands farther in. So you do not experience the open water unless you make a deliberate effort to do so. The major population centers are thus removed from direct exposure (at least in the currently affected zones).
Despite these various regional and topological differences, and despite all the changes in drilling technology that have occurred over the decades, the scenario is in some ways eerily similar. Just like BP, Union Oil at the time was caught unawares, and it took them some time to shut down the leak. And it certainly took them awhile to get their stories straight. As a result, in part [because] of the continuous suspicion of the industry, controversy persisted for years in Santa Barbara about whether or not the leak had actually been altogether stopped or diverted into seats elsewhere in the Santa Barbara Channel (although at greatly reduced volume).
Did government, not to mention the oil industry, fail to learn an important lesson from the Dos Cuadras spill?
Neither Union Oil nor BP planned to have these accidents. But accidents, precisely because they are unanticipated, reveal underlying political realities, including the nature of the regulatory process. In both cases those processes were revealed to be inadequate. Accusations now being made that the [U.S.] Minerals Management Service [MMS] is "in the oil industry's pocket" haven't changed; they're still the same as they were after the Santa Barbara spill.

Under pressure to prevent a catastrophic breakup of their single currency, euro zone leaders agreed on Friday to let their rescue fund inject aid directly into stricken banks from next year and intervene on bond markets to support troubled member states.
They also pledged to create a single banking supervisor for euro zone banks based around the European Central Bank in a landmark first step towards a European banking union that could help shore up struggling member Spain.
"It is a first step to break the vicious circle between banks and sovereigns," European Council President Herman Van Rompuy told a final news conference after talks which stretched right through the night.
The deal was widely seen as a political victory for embattled Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and his Spanish counterpart, Mariano Rajoy, over German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who had brushed aside any need for such emergency measures earlier this week.

Tour de Force: the Queen Stage
"Today we enter the Circle of Death"
Sixty bikes, lovingly cleaned and pampered, stand poised in the garage of the Hotel Parc Beaumont in Pau. This morning they will be taken boldly into the 'Circle of Death' by a group of very determined amateur riders, nearly half of whom have ridden every stage so far of this years' Tour de France route.
Many of the other riders have joined us for the last five stages that will take us all into Paris in a few days' time. Long days though! This mix of 'Lifers' (those riding the whole thing) and 'Dippers' (those joining for a taster pack) is potentially quite a volatile one: road-weary bodies and minds, hardened but fatigued by the intensity of long days in the saddle, insufficient sleep and pre-stage transfers are having their bubble burst by a potentially unhelpful invasion of testosterone and naïve enthusiasm from the Johnny-Fresh-Legs! As the organizer, with each wave of new arrivals my challenge is to channel this influx of energy into a positive and supportive vehicle to help carry the Lifers, not crush them.
The affect of this regular change in the group-dynamic on the Tour de Force, and the broad range of cycling abilities that makes up our field, is the elemental key when trying to define what makes this event so special. The riding is almost 'anti-performance', and yet all cyclists here are discovering pure cycling day after day.
Their lives are cycling. Their existence is defined by a very simple list of close parameters: eat, cycle, unpack, wash, eat, pack, sleep. Start again. Sometimes an interlude of stepping onto a coach for a couple of hours or maybe having time, at the end of the day, to down the occasional beer in a gesture of overdue celebration. Three weeks of this is a very unique, but disorienting experience. Bodies become incredibly fit; minds numb; friendships intense; emotions high.
To see a strong rider 'sacrifice' a morning of fast, thrilling riding in order to keep a slower back-rider company and see them through an hour or two, sends a wave of positive energy throughout the entire group. One rider's actions can benefit or make problems for the whole group. There has been much sacrifice on the road over the last 15 days. Feelings regularly go beyond the emotional, often touching the spiritual.
We have come over the Grand Colombier, the Madeleine, the Croix de Fer and the Granier in our passage through the Alps. We have swept across the windy plains of Northern France and Belgium. We shook with cold, soaked in the Swiss Jura, and have been baked in the midday sun of the Languedoc. We climbed the Port de Lers in mountain mist before battling with the Mur de Peguerre.
Finally, yesterday we yo-yo'd our way across the Gers to arrive here in Pau where the Giants of the Pyrenees are hiding behind a thick curtain of grey cloud, waiting for us to meet them. We are all ready, each with their own body armour. We will need to help one and other, but these 15 days have prepared us well.
No stage has been easy. But the harder the stage, the louder the conversation and laughter has been in the evenings. The sweet music of victory. There were a lot of nervous souls in Liege at the start, gutsy people who dared put themselves in front of a massive test of body and mind. The youngest is 23, the oldest 68. None have abandoned yet. They have ridden through knee pain, back pain, 'seat' pain and many have cried tears of joy on the long climbs. We all know how lucky we are to be able to do this.
There can be no greater way to celebrate our sport and to grasp a beginning of an understanding of what it must be like to actually race this thing. Tomorrow we head into the heart of the Pyrenees with many faces we cannot put names to, but we will all be instantly bound by the deepest love of our sport and of the opportunities it is about to give us in our lives. Vive le Velo. Vive le Tour.
Phil 'the Goat' Deeker is the creator of the Cent Cols Challenge and ride leader of the Tour de Force, a ride for amateurs following the route of the Tour de France one week ahead of the pros.
Don't forget you can enter our challenge - Rapha Rising: Circle of Death, beginning next Wednesday as the pros enter the Pyrenees.

I'm having trouble getting my Android to properly control MM4. I have media sharing in MM4 set up, and I can see and access the shared library on my Android, but whenever the Android program I'm using (I've tried BubbleUPnP, 2player, AndroMote, and a few others) tells MM to play a song, the MM playlist goes blank, and it just sits there. It seems like there is something wrong with MM, because on my Android I can see the shared library, see the album art, and I can even play the shared library files on my phone (local renderer), but MM just won't play a song when my Android sends the command to do so (when I use MediaMonkey renderer).
Using AndroMote (Android app), I can turn on remote only mode, and if I already have a playlist loaded in MM, the Android AndroMote controls (play, pause, next) will work with MM; however, I want the ability to select playlists or specific tracks, and the second I try to do that, MM erases the playlist and does nothing. Prior to the MM4 update that came out most recently, BubbleUPnP was working fine at controlling MM, so I don't know what happened between then and now.

Most Americans think Supreme Court justices base their rulings on personal political views rather than legal interpretation, polls show, and Thursday's ruling on the politically charged health care reform law will probably reinforce that.
From five continents to nearly three dozen states, the justices of the Supreme Court remain busy travelers, and relatively well off financially.

Think there is too much gridlock in Washington between the president and lawmakers? Don't worry, say two Supreme Court justices, that's a good thing.
The current Supreme Court is considered a "hot bench." Not because of the room temperature, or the relative good looks of the nine justices. "Hot" as in the spirited, often competitive oral arguments that have livened up -- or injected chaos into -- the public sessions where important legal and constitutional issues are openly debated and discussed.
The Supreme Court kicked off its new term on Monday with a brief salute to the justice who has currently been on the bench the longest.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg proudly points out a recent empirical study finding her "the least funny justice who talks" when cases are argued on the Supreme Court's nine-member bench.

A liberal reform group has asked the Justice Department to investigate allegations of conflict of interest by Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.

The Pentagon wants two defense contractors to pay up for an almost-forgotten Navy plane the government says did not work as advertised.
Recent remarks from a Supreme Court justice have alarmed those still pushing for an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, three decades after an earlier attempt failed.
The Supreme Court can seem a distant, dusty place, far removed from what young people, especially, see as relevant in their lives. It's an institution closed to cameras, with justices issuing dense written opinions while working mostly from their private chambers. So how do you get high schoolers interested in the important judicial stakes that affect everyone?
Two business giants -- one a upscale manufacturer, the other a discount retailer -- clashed at the Supreme Court Monday in an important business case dealing with imported goods sold at low cost in the United States.
"Postal 2" features the adventures of the "Postal Dude," an interactive video game character who, under the control of the player, must confront everyday tasks.

In the fourth season of ABC's popular medical drama, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina (Sandra Oh), Alex (Justin Chambers) and Izzie (Katherine Heigl) graduate to resident status, while George (T.R. Knight) must repeat his intern year after failing his exam. That's not George's only problem: He must also deal with the fallout of betraying his marriage vows to Callie (Sara Ramirez) as he and Izzie try to figure out if they truly are more than friends. Callie lets the stress of her marriage get to her, and it affects her ability to perform as chief resident, a position that Bailey (Chandra Wilson) coveted. Bailey's own marital woes come to a head when her little boy is hurt in an accident at home, while the Chief (James Pickens Jr.) makes strides in repairing his marriage after his ill niece returns to the hospital. Cristina deals with the pain of her failed wedding to Burke by throwing herself into her other love, cardiothoracic surgery. But much to her dismay, Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith) is the new head of this department, and Cristina and Erica clash. Also new on staff is Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh), George's fellow intern and Meredith's half sister, whom Meredith does her best to avoid. Meredith is on the outs with Derek (Patrick Dempsey), which leaves him free to pursue a nurse named Rose (Lauren Stamile). Meanwhile, a group of nurses whom Mark (Eric Dane) has dated band together to try and stop his promiscuous ways. This prompts Mark to want to change, but he's not the only one looking for self-improvement -- Meredith begins therapy with Dr. Wyatt (Amy Madigan). She then reconnects with Derek on a professional level as they work on clinical trials on patients with brain tumors. Alex also reconnects with someone as former patient and love interest Rebecca (Elizabeth Reaser) reenters his life. However, things with her eventually turn complicated, for reasons he doesn't see at first. ~ Jennifer Sankowski, Rovi

Grey's Anatomy: Didn't We Almost Have it All
The results of the first-year exams are posted, and all but one the interns have passed. Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Burke (Isaiah Washington) are ready to march down the aisle and exchange vows--or are they? An important decision reached by George (T.R.

Alex (Justin Chambers) has trouble hiding his feelings when the husband of Rebecca Pope--aka Ava, aka Jane Doe--shows up. It's anybody's guess where things stand for Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) And as his wife (Loretta Devine) undergoes surgery, Dr. Webber (James Pickens Jr.) announces the name of his successor.

Reunion [TV Series]
The weekly, hour-long Fox drama series Reunion covered 20 years in the lives of the six protagonists, from high school graduation in 1986 to adulthood in 2006. As conceived by creator Jon Harmon Feldman (Tru Calling), each episode would cover a different year, with different casts and locales, all leading up to the murder of one of the main characters in "the present." For season one, scenes of a police interrogation in 2005 led to flashbacks of 1986, allowing viewers tantalizing "then and now" glimpses of the principals, and providing clues as to who would be killed, who would be the killer, and why it all happened. Featured in the cast were Amanda Righetti as Jenna, Alexa Davalos as Samantha, Will Estes as Will, Sean Faris as Craig, Gregory Harrison as Russell Bennett, Dave Annable as Aaron, Chyler Leigh as Carla, and Mathew St. Patrick as Detective Marjorino. Reunion premiered September 8, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

girls club [TV Series]
Created and produced by the seemingly unstoppable David E. Kelley, the weekly 60-minute series girls club played like a cross between Kelley's Ally McBeal and Aaron Spelling's Charlie's Angels. The emphasis was on three young and attractive female lawyers who were best friends and roomies at Stanford Law School and shared a North Beach loft apartment while enduring their rookie year at the prestigious San Francisco firm of Myers, Berry, Cherry and Fitch. The dramatis personae included ambitious blonde Lynne (Gretchen Mol), sassy brunette Sarah (Chyler Leigh), reserved redhead Jeannie (Kathleen Robertson), and the girls' genially chauvinistic boss, Nicholas Hahn (Giancarlo Esposito). girls club posted poor ratings and garnered terrible reviews when it debuted over the Fox Network on October 21, 2002, leading industry wags to predict that the series' first telecast would also be its last. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

At the aptly titled "John Hughes High School," aspiring artist Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh) is an outcast because of her plain, bespectacled looks and paint-splattered overalls. Football hero Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) makes a bet that he can transform Janey into a gorgeous prom queen, a wager he may come to regret as he discovers Janey's true inner beauty. As their relationship blossoms, several other characters are limned, including a Nasty Cheerleader (Jaime Pressly), a Token Black Guy (Deon Richmond), a Stupid Fat Guy (Ron Lester), an Obsessed Best Friend (Eric Jungmann), an Undercover Reporter (Beverly Polcyn), the Cruelest Girl in School (Mia Kirshner), a Cocky Blonde Guy (Eric Christian Olsen), and several others. A nod to the multiple films that inspired it, Not Another Teen Movie (2001) was originally to have been entitled "Ten Things I Hate About Clueless Road Trips When I Can't Hardly Wait to Be Kissed." ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Grey's Anatomy star Chyler Leigh headlines this martial arts thriller focusing on the bitter feud between two Miami Beach kickboxing dojos. Danny (Christopher Khayman Lee - Chyler's real-life brother) is a former kickboxer whose old martial arts academy is gearing up for a bout against a rival school. The stakes are high for this particular match, because this is a fight for ownership -- the winner will become the owner of their rival's school. Danny isn't about to let his friends lose their dojo, but he's still recovering from the trauma of accidentally killing a competitor in the ring, and fighting doesn't come easy for him these days. As the fight draws ever closer, Danny wonders if he'll be able to summon the courage needed to step in the ring again. Danny's grim outlook on life begins to shift, however, when he meets and falls for the beautiful Cindy (Leigh), who accepts the damaged fighter, fears and all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Fall 2013
Welcome to Foundations in Science for Health Careers (BIO 095).
This is a completely online course and will not have a scheduled face-to-face orientation meeting or exam for the whole class. Instead, you will have an online Orientation presentation. Your tests and final exam will be completely online –you will not have to come to the SCC campus at all.
This course is a "refresher" course for students who are preparing to enter Anatomy & Physiology 1 (BIO 240, also known as A&P 1). Although BIO 095 is a PASS/FAIL COURSE that does not confer academic degree credit, it does satisfy the prerequisite requirements for BIO 240 for people who have prior learning in basic biological concepts. If you do NOT have such prior experience or training, then you will NOT succeed in this course, and should immediately arrange to talk to someone in Student Advising about alternative options.
To a large extent, this course is a self-paced and self-directed course. You may enter the course anytime within the first week of any term (semester or special session) in which it is offered. You may finish the course any time after the midterm (half-way) point of any semester or session in which it is offered.
After you have completed the online orientation, you will complete several learning modules in Moodle (our computerized learning/testing platform). These will be completed at your own pace on a schedule convenient to you. Each module contains a review of the content and an online test to demonstrate your mastery of the content. When you master the first module, the second module will be released and you can work on it until mastered. Thus you will move from module to module as you master each one, until you are finally ready to take the Final Exam.
The Final Exam for the course must be taken online BEFORE the end date/time of the course. If you fail to complete and master the Final Exam by the end of the semester, you will fail the course. Details about the Final Exam are found within the course.
For questions about this course, please contact the course supervisor, Dr. Kevin Patton at email@example.com (636-922-8338 or 636-486-4185) Academic Building (ADM 2442 R).
You can preview the online orientation at http://www.lionden.com/fis-orientation.htm as well as access other course details.
Please click on the link below and take the quiz to learn how well you are suited for online education.
Moodle will be available to students by the start of the semester.

Starbucks is giving its augmented reality mobile app a little bit more love. Literally.
As part of a new update, users of the company's Cup Magic app can now point their phones at Starbucks Valentine's Day-themed cups to see new, love-themed effects that appear to be happening on the cup itself.
Starbucks originally launched its Magic Cup app last November on both iOS (iTunes) and Android (Market) to coincide with the coffee chain's annual run of holiday-themed cups. Users would point their smartphone's camera at one of the seasonal cups and it would pull up an augmented reality scene that matched up with whatever character was on the cup.
This new addition is a little more limited, with the company only using one type of cup that will be carried in its stores through February 16. … Read more
Valentine's Day approaches, and in case you're one of those odd ducks wondering about the Most Intimate iPad Game, here's your slam-dunk recommendation: Fingle. Based on my time with it here at the office, it's earned nothing but awkward blushes.
Fingle's an iPad-only app because you wouldn't have enough finger room on an iPhone or iPod. It's basically Twister with fingers: two players place one hand each on the iPad and put their fingers on the spaces indicated, then start slipping and sliding around the board as indicated. Stay long enough on the … Read more
To celebrate the most miserable day of the year, aka Christmas 2.0, we're being Debbie Downers and checking out stories to ruin your cheesy holiday. If you're not hitched up with a honey bunny today, you may be able to increase your chances of bagging someone special based on the next gadget you buy.
According to this Gadgetology study, your computer, cell phone, and other tech accessories are big factors in determining your attractiveness to the people around you. Of the men surveyed under the age of 35, 50 percent find women with fancy smartphones more attractive, whereas 38% of women think a modern laptop oozes the most sex appeal.
And this is no surprise, but the two worst tech deal breakers for women are the awful Bluetooth wireless headset and cell phone holster, so steer clear of those two if you're looking to hook up. Finally, outside of the tech world, more women younger than 35 say they're attracted to a man walking a cute dog than a geek with a cool smartphone, so we're kind of screwed either way.
On the other hand, if you want to avoid sex altogether this year, the best way to accomplish that goal is to trick your partner by cooking them a dinner made of anaphrodisiac ingredients.
You can kill the mood with a number of ingredients including hops, marjoram, common rue, soy, and coriander, or you can really play it safe with a combination of it all in a deliciously platonic chicken and tofu in a marjoram cream sauce.
A anti-touch relationship is a good way to practice safe sex altogether, but what if a painful health affliction is preventing you from getting yours? A dating Web site based out of Winnipeg is playing Cupid for clients that suffer from herpes.
Actually, you don't have to have herpes to join. According to the creators, hopeful clients are asked during registration if they have it and if they'd be open to someone with it for full transparency. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, about one in six people between the ages of 14 and 49 suffer from the STD and are embarrassed to admit it to lovers, so Camelot Introductions offers this service to dispel the prejudice.
But all that aside, if you're a super procrastinator and still haven't purchased your boo a gift, consider a New York solution and just name a cockroach after your Valentine.

If you're still in a bind trying to figure out what to get the man in your life for Hallmark Day Valentine's Day, you might consider going the gizmo route. Click through the gallery below for some ideas--from the latest, like HD-video goggles, wireless headphones, and telepresence devices, to nostalgic throwbacks like sno-cone makers (for the little guy in your life, of course). If you have other suggestions, be sure to share them in the comments section below.
This story originally appeared on CBSNews.com.
Valentine's Day is around the corner, so we're sure a lot of you are scrambling to schedule dates so you won't be alone with your toy pet Lulu on February 14. The problem is that first dates are almost always awkward, especially if you met on a dating Web site.
To help, OkCupid analyzed user survey data to glean the best questions to ask on a first date that actually correlate to sexier issues you won't get to until the fifth or sixth outing.
According to the site, if you want to get a clue into whether the first date will end in the bedroom, you should ask if your date likes the taste of beer! Or if you want to determine the long-term potential of your future relationship, you inquire about the person's taste in horror movies. And lastly, if you're curious about your partner's political affiliation, the best question to ask is his or her preference for simplicity or complexity.
The Catholic Church just approved an iPhone app that invites followers to run down a sinful check list prior to ease the process of confession.
The Church hopes that wayward souls will be inspired by the app to seek out the church for redemption for the bargain price of $1.99. To our Catholic listeners: don't worry, our resident skeptic Jeff Mubakalar deliberately says very little in this segment.
Finally, we wait until the second half to unleash Jeff on John Brandon, a Fox News reporter who penned an article titled "Is Bulletstorm the worst video game in the world?"
That's unquestionably, absolutely, and without a doubt the most bombastic link bait headline IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD, and Brandon starts off the conversation with a quote from a psychologist that claims "the increase in rapes can be attributed in large part to the playing out of (sexual) scenes in video games." Let the twilight's last reaming begin.
The author also stumbles on the issue of ESRB warnings on the back of games not containing the full reason for the rating; instead, parents only see a truncated version of the objectionable content and are encouraged to go online to get the full justification.
I'll let the hosts speak for themselves, because I know it won't be the last time we get into a fiery debate about who is responsible for video games and the adverse effects they may or may not have on kids. Tune in for the full discussion!

Good news, T-Mobile lovers! All T-Mobile phones will be offered for free at T-Mobile retail stores this Friday, February 11, and Saturday, February 12, just in time for Valentine's Day. Of course, you have to sign up for a new two-year contract, so it's not completely free. But it's still a great deal, especially if you want a fancy new HSPA+ phone like the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G. Do note that mail-in rebate cards might apply, and that the deal is only applicable in select locations.

So I have no problem with the whole lack of a distinct connection between projects and actions on separate lists. But these items make it confusing:
-Some projects have "project plans" and "support material" where you are supposed to go for new "next actions", others don't. This creates confusion.
-Some projects don't have actions but rather "waiting for" items (and in my case some of them are noted in my email where I can't see them next to the list)
-Some actions are orphans and don't belong to projects at all
If it were a one-for-one relationship. where every project had one next action and vice-versa, it would be no problem to keep track of. But because the relationship isn't one-for-one then I spend a lot of time figuring out connections and if, indeed, each project has the correct next action.
AND...only when you're confident that you have next actions for everything can you work solely off of NA lists. Otherwise you might be working on something low priority and missing the higher priority NA.
There has to be a simpler way. The next action concept is brilliant for moving things forward but it creates an organizational nightmare.
(BTW, I use paper to manage Projects and NA)

" Oh sarah..how long are you going to keep you face stuffed in that book? you always spend your free time on the same one. Read something else for a change." Sarah's yellow cat Casey said. She sat on top of the table and watched as the neko girl read her book."Hush up Casey. This book in intresting. May i might add,we are in the library to." Sarah wispered as she flipped through the book. The little cat rolled her eyes." It's not like anyone else can hear me.." she said with a chuckled.
"Hey uh Casey..don't you feel it? the tension in the air? like something bad is going to happen?" Sarah asked. Casey started to sweat." Uh...kinda. I try not to think about it." she said.
Meanwhile, Blake was wondering the halls of the school and checked his watch."Uh,when will class start?" he said boredly." Anyways,i can't take it any more. it's like i'm lusting to take this world by storm!."
"Hey,hey..clam down. The time is coming soon young master." His parrot Venice chimed."And more thing, don't blow your cover yet. One more thing to..you seal need the seal." he pointed out.
Blake sighed."Ah, yeah your right. I need to find it and soon."

From Trampolines to Disco Balls: The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup
What it is
The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a national conservation program which encourages Canadians coast to coast to make a difference by removing litter from along local shorelines, thereby protecting our oceans and waterways.
This is the 17th year the event has been held. According to Jill Dwyer, Manager of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, the first event was held in 1994, when a handful of Vancouver Aquarium employees and volunteers decided to get Canada involved in the International Coastal Cleanup.
Some of the more unusual items to show up over the years include a message in a bottle (the message said, "Please don't litter"), false teeth, a living room set, a canoe made out of duct tape, wedding dress, disco ball, a hotel safe, a toboggan, a mini trampoline and a clothesline complete with poles and pins.
Last year, nearly 57,000 Canadians registered to cleanup 1,568 sites across Canada. Nearly 161,000 kg of litter was removed from a cumulative distance of 2,500 km of shoreline (roughly equivalent to the driving distance from Vancouver to the Manitoba/Ontario border). And Canada earned the distinction of having hosted the third largest shoreline cleanup in the world—an impressive achievement, given that we are a relatively small country, population-wise, notes Dwyer.
This year, there are already over 700 cleanup sites registered across Canada—including over 240 in Ontario alone.
The event is popular with families, corporate groups, and youth organizations. (Over 50 percent of participants belong to youth groups, Boy Scouts, or Girl Guides, according to Dwyer.)
How it works
There are two ways to get involved: as a site coordinator or as a cleanup participant.
If you choose to become involved as a site coordinator, you choose the site you want to clean up, set the date and time for the cleanup, and recruit participants.
If you prefer to be a cleanup participant, you simply show up on the date and time that the site coordinator has established for the cleanup. (It's a good idea to bring gloves and a garbage bag, says Dwyer.)
At that point, you'll receive basic instructions about the cleanup. (In addition to collecting litter, one member of each team records data about the litter that has been picked up.)
Why your family might want to get involved
Participating in The Great Canadian Shoreline Community is a lot of fun. It's a great way to give back to your community. And it's something you can do to help the environment.
"It's easy to feel overwhelmed by environmental issues," Dwyer explains. "The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup gives you something to do that is hands-on and easy. And when you combine what you're doing with what people at other cleanup sites across Canada are doing, it's pretty huge."
How to find out more
This year's Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup takes place from September 18 to 26, 2010.

Business Rules Management
Business Rules Management is an integral component of the Cordys Business Operations Platform. This allows seamless integration of rules within business processes and business objects during modeling and design time. This then ensures faster execution and swifter change of business rules and process behaviour at runtime.
Rules Management
Decision automation with Rules Management System
The Cordys Business Rules Management System (BRMS) provides multiple editors for business users and IT, with different needs and expectations on the ease of use, power and flexibility of definition. Cordys BRMS supports extensible business vocabularies enabling business users to own and manage the rules. Cordys BOP with its single, browser based development environment for business and IT combined with a unified meta-model allows for quicker changes across the various process components, including rule testing before deployment.
BRMS in a Service Oriented Architecture
The deployment and execution of business rules over a robust, high available SOA Platform enables faster performance and near non-stop business operations. BRMS together with SOA allows rules to be elevated out of the architecture itself, hence allowing decisions of how your SOA works to be logically separated from the underlying services and governance.
