Ed Helms, 'The Hangover Part 3′ Star, on the End of the Franchise and Leaving 'The Office'
This weekend it all comes to an end as the "Hangover" franchise closes in grand fashion with "The Hangover, Part III" — which might just be the best entry in the bunch. This installment sees the Wolfpack — Alan (Zach Galifianakis), Stu (Ed Helms), and Phil (Bradley Cooper) — first travel to Tijuana and then to Las Vegas (the scene of the crime) in an attempt to get their friend Doug (Justin Bartha) back from a villainous mobster (played by John Goodman).
We got to chat with Ed Helms about the movie while he was in Las Vegas for the junket. We're not sure what went down out there, because, as we all know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, although he did tell us what he wanted from the third installment, how his relationship with Zach's character evolved, and his thoughts about the end of the franchise.
How's Vegas?
Good ole Vegas… It's like a second home to me.
You should just live on the Strip.
I practically do, I spend so much time here.
Did you have anything specific that you really wanted to do in this third "Hangover?"
That's a really interesting question. If anything, and for Stu in particular, I just wanted a sense of closure for the whole "Hangover"/Wolf Pack world. And then if I got a few good jokes in along the way, I'd be happy.
It seemed like the relationship between you and Zach was even more antagonistic this time around. Was that something that you two developed or was that in the script?
You know, it kind of became this running joke what a punching bag Stu is. And Zach, and as a consequence Alan, kind of picked up on that. Alan has always seen Stu as a threat to his bromance with Phil. So there's a natural animosity there. Even though I really believe, underlining all of it, these guys would do anything for each other, including Alan, as tweaked as he is. He makes fun of Stu because it gives him a little sense of power or makes him feel cool. But he's ultimately more vulnerable than anybody.
I know I'm not supposed to say this because the film is supposed to be edgy, but this one does have a nice sweetness.
Come on it's hard! It's so punk rock!
You've got two huge parts of your life missing, with both "The Hangover" and "The Office" coming to a close. Is it bittersweet to have these things ending at the same time?
Super duper bittersweet. It's very very sad. I love both of these things so much and yet in both cases it just feels like the right time and the right step for both. I can't even begin to describe how much both "The Office" and "The Hangover" have impacted my life. It's been a hell of a ride. The best analogy I can think of is when you get on a rollercoaster and it's so fun and there's peaks and valleys, there's scary parts, there's exciting parts, there's a lot of laughs and screams along the way. And then when you finally pull into the station at the end of a rollercoaster ride, you're bummed. You don't want to get off. But you realize if you stayed on the rollercoaster you'd probably get hurt or sick or something. It's time marching on. It's life evolving. And it's very poignant and very exciting.
It must have been fun too because you probably didn't think, "I'm signing on to a long-running show" or "This is going to be the highest grossing comedy franchise of all time."
That's part of the peaks of the rollercoaster. It's like Space Mountain at Disneyland. It's dark, you can't really see where you're going… and I'm going to stop with the rollercoaster analogy. You can't know. All you can do is, when you're in a creative situation like that, just put it all out there and leave it all on the court. Which I really think everybody in "The Office" and "The Hangover" did. And you hope that people respond and they did. I'm just so grateful to have been a part of both things.
When you set out to make "The Hangover, Part III" did you look to anything in particular? There aren't many third entries in a comedy series but did you set out to make it different or special in a specific way?
Well it had to be different. The first two follow the same template and it just wasn't going to work; you can't do that again. So the question became "How do you do it and what do you focus on?" And what I love about this third one is that, in the same way that a great serial TV show will be constantly mining its previous episodes for the structural tidbits to build future episodes, that's how this narrative came together. There's so many ghosts from one and two that haunt this story in such a cool and fun and organic way. I really think it all fits together. This is a great closer. I'll say on top of that, Alan in screenwriting terms has kind of been the inciting incident or the precipitating factor to all the chaos, so it also makes sense for this third one to really explore Alan a little bit more and get into what that character is about. He's so fascinating.
Was there anything that you didn't get to do that you wanted to do?
Hmmm… Hmmm… Well I wish that between "Hangovers 2″ and "3," Stu got really fit, like super buff with washboard abs. That way Warner Bros would have had to put me on some crazy diet and hire a personal trainer and I would have been a total bad-ass. But that didn't happen. Zach and I laugh about that — that we wish a movie would take responsibility for our health. But honestly I couldn't ask for anything more than what's in these movies. What an incredible journey to be on and an incredible team to be a part of.
So if Todd Haynes called you tomorrow you'd be down to collaborate again?
I would throw myself in front of a train if it meant working with Todd again. If Todd told me audiences would laugh, I'd throw myself in front of a train. So many of these horrible things Stu goes through I've just had to trust Todd. I have these kneejerk reactions — I am not a dark, edgy comic and a lot of this stuff pushed me out of my comfort zone. I just realized: don't fight it. And I'm always glad I did.

Just four days after slipping on a puddle and getting stitches, the buff That Awkward Moment star, 26, was spotted working out in Venice, Calif., on Thursday evening.
"He looked great," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "But it was all business. He was concentrating on hitting the weights hard."

From the looks of this Instagram photo posted by Dancing with the Stars pro Derek Hough, however, no one looks terribly scared.
"Great time last night with friends," Hough wrote. "Love this time of year."
So does Zac Efron, who showed up at Thursday's 5th Annual Los Angeles Haunted Hayride premiere at Griffith Park to enjoy a night out with a group that included Hough and his sister, Julianne Hough, So You Think You Can Dance judge Adam Shankman and Pitch Perfect actress Brittany Snow.

"You must be dreading it," host Cat Deeley said to the judges at the beginning of Wednesday's live show.
The judges were tasked with sending home two men and two women of the six dancers voted into the bottom by viewers.
But first, all 20 contestant took to the stage to perform this week's routines, which ended with a rousing Bollywood number by Whitney Carson, 18, and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp, 23.

"I sort of want a finder's fee for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth," the Rock of Ages director told PEOPLE at the film's L.A. premiere Friday. "I cannot tell you. It made me cry."

Against a soundtrack that includes Def Leppard, Joan Jett, Journey, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister and Poison, Cruise stars as an aging rocker alongside Julianne Hough, Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Malin Akerman, Mary J.

Paul Heymans Coalition (TKOW term) has been dominant in the weeks leading towards Judgment Day, but last week, things turned around for the wrestlers supposedly fighting the good fight. The WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero, the WWE United States Champion John Cena, The Phenom The Undertaker and Edge were able to defeat Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, The Big Show and Rhyno. That put all four of the beloved wrestlers one up on their opponents for Judgment Day. With this being the final edition of Smackdown before Judgment Day, and being just down the road from Las Vegas, it has to be wondered what type of gamble Heyman will take when the Smackdown wrestlers head to the Lawlor Events Center.
One thing we know for certain, Paul Heyman has given his two main men, Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle the night off. With this being said, in an act that seems almost to fair to be true, Heyman has also given their Judgment Day opponents, the WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero and The Undertaker a night off. It almost seems a little to good to be true, although could Heyman just be trying to protect his two WrestleMania worthy main events? Either way, Paul Heyman has promised that all four men will feature on Smackdown, but nobody has any idea how.
The main event of the evening will feature the other four men from last weeks eight man tag team match. The WWE United States Champion John Cena will team with Edge to take on The Big Show and Rhyno. With Cena and Show going at it for the US Title on Sunday, and Edge and Rhyno doing the same, this tag match could very well be a preview to what we will see at Judgment Day.
The WWE Tag Team Championship match at Judgment Day which pits the champions, Scotty Too Hotty and Rikishi, defending against the challengers, The Worlds Greatest Tag Team has been on the horizons for awhile now. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin have been on the prowl for gold for about a month now, and at almost every turn, they have had the upper hand. With the title match looming so close, both teams have one final chance to gain momentum, when Scotty Too Hotty goes one on one with Shelton Benjamin.
The WWE Cruiserweight Title scene has been absolutely phenomenal as of late. The Champion, Chavo Guerrero continues to cling onto his title, despite the fact that in most of his matches hes been severely beaten as of late. Chavo was struggling enough, working around the challenges of a man, who some still consider the rightful champion in Rey Mysterio. Life has only gotten more complicated for Chavo since then, with two more challengers rising in Billy Kidman and Jamie Noble. After Guerrero and Noble failed to take out Mysterio and Kidman in tag team action last week, theyve decided to take out each other, as they will go at it tonight on Smackdown.
Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman will also be in action; however they will be in six man tag team action. Last week, The Full Blooded Italians came to the ring and ran down certain wrestlers, with Nunzio saying something that garnered the attention of young, upstart Paul London. London decided to come to the ring and let The FBI know what he thought of them, but this lead him to a three on one beat down. Tonight, it will be three on three, as Londons mentor Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio will team up with him to exact revenge on The FBI.
Last week the A Train brutally attacked Billy Gunn, forcing him to have to get stitches. This week, the A Train will look to continue proving he is worthy to his boss, when he goes one on one with Hardcore Holly. Holly will be looking for a win ahead of his Judgment Day showdown with the recently revitalized Sean OHaire. Speaking of OHaire, with his match with Holly so close, he must be considered some sort of wildcard, despite not being a part of the match.
Tune in to see all this, and heaps more on Thursday Night Smackdown!

Also tonight Trish Stratus is the special guest on the highlight reel and Trish will tell Jericho face to face why she broke his heart at WrestleMania. Eric Bischoff has barred Christian from making an appearance on the Highlight Reel and if he gets involved then he would be fined and suspended.

Friday Night Smackdown (July 1, 2011)
Triple Title Turmoil
Last week's Smackdown concluded with the contract signing between World Heavyweight Champion Christian and #1 Contender Cody Rhodes for a title match at Money In The Bank. However, Randy Orton ran out and attacked both men before the dotted line could be signed and the night ended with Orton powerbombing Rhodes through a table. Tonight, "The Viper" Randy Orton opens the show and with Christian and Cody Rhodes no doubt set to be watching, anything could happen. How will all this drama surrounding The World Heavyweight Championship unfold?
Justin Time To Compete
Last week, Justin Gabriel defeated Heath Slater to become the #1 Contender to Ezekiel Jackson's Intercontinental Champion, set to face him in two weeks time on the Smackdown Supershow, officially disbanding The Corre in the process. This week Gabriel will be in action against Yoshi Tatsu and will also address the champ for the first time. Dirt sheets also report that Gabriel may even have a new associate to come down to the ring with him tonight, but so far no news on this is confirmed.
Double The Stakes
In an epic tag team match announced last week, Sin Cara and Daniel Bryan will take on Chavo Guerrero and Brodus Clay, where both of the winner's will qualify for the Smackdown Money In The Bank Ladder Match at the PPV. Cara and Bryan have formed an unlikely alliance in recent weeks and they saved Derrick Bateman and Trent Barreta from an attack from Brodus and Chavo last week, which spurred this match. Barreta and Bateman still have unfinished business with Chavo and Clay however, and it remains to be seen if they will be involved in the tag team match tonight.
The Prince Of Punjab
There will also be one more man qualifying for Money In The Bank tonight, as Shelton Benjamin takes on The Great Khali to qualify for the ladder match. Last week, Shelton defeated Jinder Mahal and after the match, Khali came out presumably to attack Mahal but "The Punjabi Giant" seemingly made an alliance with his Indian counterpart and the duo beat down Shelton after the match. Mahal will no doubt be with Ranjin Singh at ringside tonight as they support the monstrous Khali in his match against "The Gold Standard."
Divas Do Battle
In diva news, Michelle McCool will take on Beth Phoenix tonight. These two divas were involved in the battle royale last week featuring all of Smackdown's new divas and were two of the four vixens to qualify to compete for the vacated Divas Championship in two weeks time at the Smackdown Supershow, along with Melina and Roxxi. No doubt the two divas not competing will be watching the match tonight and scouting their competition before the big fatal four way to crown a new champion.
All this and more, tonight, on Friday Night Smackdown!
Show is now posted! Feedback is appreciated, as always!

Chapter 2 - Laying Down The Law
We pick things up as a meeting at AOL Time Warner headquarters is taking place. This meeting is to outline the future of the network and what programming should be in a certain time slot. Eventually, the topic of World Championship Wrestling comes up but, before any time slot is discussed for WCW, a meeting must be called to determine if the organization can be saved from the deep black hole it is currently in. Executives are more than aware that WCW is in deep trouble and needs a heck of a lot of help getting out of said hole. The Senior-Vice President of AOL Time Warner along with Ted Turner have a conversation about World Championship Wrestling which lasts roughly forty minutes or so. Ted Turner is adamant to keep World Championship Wrestling's Nitro product on Television because at one time it was TNT's highest rated show. Eventually it is agreed that WCW will remain on TNT but an allocated time slot and more information has to be laid out before they even think about going ahead with the plan. The SVP asks Ted Turner if he knows of any way that they can somehow reduce the financial state that WCW is currently in, Ted replies with a simple 'I don't know, but I know one man who can' and from here, Ted Turner phones up the one man who pretty much made WCW what it was...

Due to the controversial nature of the finish of the Final Match in the Number One Contenders Tournament between Triple H and Rob Van Dam, and the altercation between the two backstage after the show, the WWE Board of Directors have moved to eliminate any controversy regarding the WWE Championship Match at Wrestlemania XXIII.
Therefore, tonight on Monday Night Raw, the WWE Board of Directors have decided that Triple H and Rob Van Dam shall meet in a rematch, where all outside interference from contracted WWE employees is banned! This match will be Van Dams last opportunity at inserting himself into the WWE Championship, as if Van Dam is victorious, the WWE Championship will be contested at Wrestlemania XXIII under triple threat rules. However, if Triple H is victorious, the match shall remain Shawn Michaels against Triple H in a one-on-one contest for the richest prize in sports entertainment.
Any contracted employee found to be interfering in the match shall be subjected to an immediate 30 day suspension, giving them no chance whatsoever of appearing at Wrestlemania XXIII.
~Monday Night Raw~
March 5th, 2007
Topeka, Kansas
Just 24 hours removed from one of the most controversial nights in WWE history, Monday Night Raw emanates from Topeka, Kansas with 'The Evil Genius' Mr. McMahon no doubt feeling on top of the world.
Saturday Night's Main Event came to a shocking conclusion as during the main event of the broadcast, a Steel Cage Handicap Match between John Cena and Mr. and Shane McMahon, Bobby Lashley ripped through the canvas and attacked Cena with such venom and hatred, practically handing victory to Vince and Shane. Lashley then proceeded to further inflict injury on Cena, with the lasting image of the night that of Vince, Shane and Lashley arm in arm, celebrating their destruction of Cena. And it appears the celebrations are set to carry over into this evening, as Mr. McMahon has announced that live tonight, he, Shane and Bobby will be holding a victory celebration in the ring. What the celebration holds is anybody's guess, but you can be sure John Cena will have something to say about it.
As for the WWE Championship situation, we all assumed the match had been set. Shawn Michaels and Triple H, two storied rivals, set to meet for the richest prize in sport's entertainment. However, the route to that match was paved in controversy. It was Rob Van Dam and Triple H who battled it out at Saturday Night's Main Event for the chance to face Michaels, only the WWE Champion himself to make his presence felt at ringside. A spat between 'The Game' and 'The Heartbreak Kid' led to Michaels entering the ring, looking to take Triple H's head off... but instead he nailed Van Dam! Naturally, and not without a tinge of reluctance, 'The Game' took advantage to book his Wrestlemania spot. However, the WWE Board of Directors have moved quickly to eliminate and chance of controversy, ordering a rematch between the two take place tonight, will all outside interference banned. Van Dam has one last chance, but after accusing 'The Game' of taking the easy way out, Triple H will be in no mood to simply let 'RVD' walk into the WWE Championship Match at Wrestlemania XXIII.
Having returned to Raw last week during the Randy Orton and Rob Van Dam match to attack Kenny Dykstra, Jeff Hardy is scheduled for his first match in over six weeks as he and Dykstra clash in non-title action. Hardy's chance at regaining his Intercontinental Championship from Dykstra has long gone, but tonight is all about revenge for Jeff. Orton will also be in action, as he competes in the first Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match Qualifier against Carlito, but could his mind perhaps be on Jeff, after it was the distraction of Hardy and Dykstra brawling at ringside that ultimately cost Orton last week?
Speaking of Carlito, it seems like his partnership with Ric Flair is at and end after Mr. Kennedy cost the pair the World Tag Team Championships at Saturday Night's Main Event. Flair and 'Lito parted on good terms, and 'Lito tonight has another chance to go to Wrestlemania as he faces Orton. Flair however has requested a segment of the show to address the actions of Mr. Kennedy, a request that has been granted. Will Carlito make it past Orton and start to climb the ladder to success? And what will Flair have to say as he speaks for the first time as a former tag team champion?
Speaking of the tag team champions, the new World Tag Team Champions Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas have also indicated that they have something they wish to say, The Hart Legacy make their debuts tonight, we'll hear from CM Punk after he finally set Kelly Kelly free from the clutches of Mike Knox, while Beth Phoenix is in action again, this time against Maria.
It's a stacked episode of Raw, one you won't want to miss as Wrestlemania XXIII is now officially in our sights!
Confirmed Matches:
Triple H vs. Rob Van Dam
Non Title Match : Kenny Dykstra vs. Jeff Hardy
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match: Randy Orton vs. Super Crazy
Beth Phoenix vs. Maria
The Hart Legacy make their WWE debuts!!

Raw Preview
April 13, 2009
Los Angeles, California
'Lucky 13'
There are just 13 days to go until the first Pay Per View event following Wrestlemania, Backlash. With the card starting to take shape, it is sure that at least one more match will be announced this Monday Night on Raw.
Champion vs Legend
Raw's Main Event is going to be the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena, going one on one with Chris Jericho, in a non-title match up. Last week, Cena defeated Gregory Helms, but was attacked by his Backlash opponent, Edge, in the locker room. Cena will know that he has to look out for The Rated R Superstar again this week. Meanwhile, Chris Jericho was involved in an altercation with CM Punk last week, which led General Manager JBL to arrange a match between the two for Backlash. Not only will Jericho be competing in the main event, but he will also host The Highlight Reel, with CM Punk being the special guest on the show.
Feeling the Backlash a Little Early?
Randy Orton is an angry man, which does not bode well for anyone, especially his Legacy brethren, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr. Legacy failed to win their match last Monday, and also failed to keep Kofi Kingston from helping Rey Mysterio at the end of last week's Raw broadcast. DiBiase only made Legacy's week worse on Smackdown, where he took Triple H's bait and got a Pedigree for his troubles. Orton is scheduled to open the show, and he will no doubt address his Backlash opponent, WWE Champion Triple H as well as his Legacy. Orton will also be in action.
The Hot Head and the High Flyer
Last week, both Gregory Helms and Evan Bourne lost their matches to John Cena and Mike Knox, respectively. They then both argued in the General Manager's office later in the night, and JBL arranged a match between the two of them for this week. As an extra incentive, the winner will become number one contender to Rey Mysterio's Intercontinental Championship, and face him at Backlash. It is no secret that JBL will want the winner of tonight's match to also be victorious at Backlash, as it was JBL himself that Mysterio defeated at Wrestlemania for the title, and hell itself will freeze over before JBL will let this one go.
The Robbin' Hoodz
The Miz cheated his way to victory over Cryme Tyme's JTG last week on Raw, and in retaliation, JTG and his Cryme Tyme partner, Shad, stole the World Tag Team Championship title belts from champions The Miz & John Morrison's locker room. The champions will be looking for justice to be served, as they will be looking to get the physical possession of the championships back.
Breaking Down Fort Knox
Mike Knox upset Evan Bourne last week in a dominant showing, and he then later expressed that he could beat any man, no matter what size. Kane stepped up to the plate, so the two behemoths will collide tonight.
John Cena vs Chris Jericho
Kane vs Mike Knox
Chris Jericho presents The Highlight Reel with Special Guest CM Punk
Evan Bourne vs Gregory Helms
Randy Orton will be in action

Monday Night Raw Preview
06/27/05 – Anaheim, CA
Only twenty-fours removed from Vengeance, Monday Night Raw rolls right into the blistering hot city of Anaheim. But what toll will the effects of Vengeance have on the superstars of Raw, and what effect will it have on the fast-approaching SummerSlam?
In an epic match inside Hell in a Cell, Batista once again reigned victorious over Triple H to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. Although the status of both men is unknown at this time, one can only imagine what kind of physical toll the match has taken on their bodies, and with that in mind, the kind of condition they'll be in tonight. Another certainty is what's to come in the future for both men. After losing to Batista for the third time since WrestleMania, what's next in the career of Triple H? And after potentially ending his rivalry with The Game, who will be next in line to face The Animal and try and capture his coveted World Championship?
Since arriving on Raw a few weeks ago as part of the Draft Lottery, John Cena has been targeted by a number of superstars. Surprisingly, however, he's also been targeted by Raw's General Manager, Eric Bischoff, who has taken a disliking for Cena and seems determined to end Cena's reign as WWE Champion. Thus, Cena was forced to defend his title in a Triple Threat Match at Vengeance against two of Raw's finest, Christian and Chris Jericho. Despite the odds being stacked against him, though, Cena prevailed and will head into Anaheim as still the WWE Champion, something that surely isn't setting well with Eric Bischoff. Will the General Manager of Raw have another plan concocted, and if so, will Cena's title reign be in similar jeopardy to what it was last night?
Last night, in an epic showdown, Shawn Michaels emerged victorious over Kurt Angle, evening their series at 1-1 in a rivalry that began all the way back at the Royal Rumble when Michaels eliminated Angle from the Rumble, prompting Angle to retaliate by re-entering the ring to eliminate Michaels. Since then, the two have feuded intensely, which also included Angle defeating Michaels at WrestleMania 21 by forcing him to tap out to his patented Ankle Lock. No word has been given on what's in store for these two men tonight on Raw, but word has it that Kurt Angle suffering a loss on Pay-Per-View hasn't been dealt with in a calm manner by the Olympic Gold Medalist, and what he may do out of anger and rage over losing remains to be seen.
The love triangle, if you can call it that, between Edge, Kane, and Lita has been nothing short of unique to say the least. It all boiled over last night when Edge and Kane met in the ring. Despite a solid effort from Edge to topple the Big Red Machine, Kane came away with the win while looking more powerful and monstrous than ever before. Tonight, Kane will go one-on-one with Ric Flair, who, like the former member of Evolution, Batista and Randy Orton, seems to be growing tired of his allegiances with Triple H, and may use this as an opportunity to step out of The Game's shadow and work his way back into the title hunt. In a match pitting the Big Red Machine versus the Nature Boy, who will prevail: size or experience?
Victoria continued to live up to her title as 'The Vicious Vixen' at Vengeance as she defeated Christy Hemme in a rather timely fashion, though one can speculate that Christy was still recovering from when Victoria smashed a glass bottle over her head only six days prior to their meeting in the ring. Tonight, these two diva's will clash in a rematch, and while Victoria looks to get rid of Christy, Christy looks for vengeance after what transpired at Vengeance; ironic. Which diva will be victorious and prove their dominance over the other?
As well, Shelton Benjamin will be in action after going through possibly the worst week of his life. First, he lost his Intercontinental Championship to Carlito in what was the Caribbean superstar's first night on Raw. Then, he came up short in their rematch at Vengeance. Tonight, Shelton will have an opportunity to get back on track as he goes one-on-one with Maven. Will Shelton get back on his feet, or will Maven only add to the youngster's problems?
Also, appearances will be made by the Intercontinental Champion Carlito, the World Tag Team Champions Rosey and The Hurricane, and Chris Masters, who will be hosting his Masterlock Challenge to anyone who wishes to try and be the first to break his devastating hold.
Lastly, although the Draft Lottery concludes this week, it's not finished yet, which means Raw could still acquire some new superstars tonight.
Tune in to Spike TV tonight at 9/8 CT to answer all of these questions and more!

Samoa Joe wants Finlay, but instead, he'll get Ken Doane. With the "hottest prospect in AOW" granted his debut match, will Kenny be able to walk away with a win from a man as dangerous as Samoa Joe? Will Doane live past his debut match with the potential anger Joe has?

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - — - As scores of students were busily constructing a wooden tower for Texas A&M University's traditional football Bonfire, the massive 40-foot structure collapsed early Thursday, killing at least nine students beneath a deadly rubble of logs.
Even as rescuers continued working into the night, the death toll seemed likely to rise as officials conceded that the bodies of two missing students were probably buried beneath the pyramid-shaped wreckage. Throughout the day, more than 100 students and firefighters carefully picked through the rubble, rescuing several students who had been trapped for hours.

The Chattanooga Lookouts have mixed feelings about lunchtime starts, but their performance in early games is anything but mixed.
"I love these games after they're over because you have the whole afternoon and night," Lookouts manager Carlos Subero said Wednesday morning before his team hosted Montgomery, "but they're tough to get cranked up for."
Chattanooga never got going in their late-morning start against the Biscuits, falling behind 9-0 after four innings in a 9-0 loss before a crowd of 4,876 at AT&T Field. In the only other lunchtime game at AT&T this season, the Lookouts trailed Birmingham 8-0 after two innings April 18 before falling short 9-8.
Allen Webster, the No. 2 prospect in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization according to Baseball America, experienced his worst outing of the season. The 22-year-old from Madison, N.C., failed to pitch four innings before giving up nine runs on seven hits and two walks.
Webster has allowed 22 runs over his last three starts, and his earned run average has swelled to 7.49.
"He's just going through a little rut right now," Lookouts pitching coach Chuck Crim said. "He's having a hard time winning games, but we're going to keep plugging away."
The Lookouts have now lost five consecutive series and are six games under .500 (14-20) for the first time this season.
Montgomery already was up 1-0 when Michael Sheridan led off the second inning with a single to center and Greg Sexton followed with an RBI double to left-center. Webster walked the first two Biscuits in the third to help them stake a 3-0 lead, but that would be pleasant compared to his fourth inning.
The 6-foot-2, 170-pounder gave up a double, three singles and hit a batter as the Biscuits surged to their nine-run lead.
"I'm just going to try and start over," Webster said.
The Lookouts had varying agendas following Wednesday's game. Subero planned to take his kids swimming, and many of the players were headed to a theater.
"I haven't been to a movie in so long, and I've been waiting to check out the new Avengers movie," outfielder Kyle Russell said, "so that's what I'm doing today."
Ethan Martin (3-0, 3.12) is scheduled to start tonight's 7:15 series finale for the Lookouts, with Joseph Cruz (2-4, 6.41) scheduled for the Biscuits.

This week saw the opening night of John Tiffany and Andrew Goldberg's Macbeth starring multi award winning Glaswegian actor Alan Cumming. This new version is presented by the National Theatre of Scotland.
The show, which will be held at the Tramway will only be performed seventeen times before it heads for a tour of New York.
The hotly anticipated new show stars only one actor the legendary Alan Cumming playing the whole lot of Shakespeare's tale. This will include him playing every character and changing to a more feminine voice for the likes of Lady Macbeth.
This is a must see for theatre fans but be sure to pre book because it is more than likely to sell out.

How to help Sandy Hook and Newtown, Connecticut families
Updated On: Dec 19 2012 06:42:22 AM EST
In the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school tragedy, people from across the country are looking for ways to help victims and their families.
The USPS has set up a P.O. Box just for condolence letters. The address is:
Message of Condolence
PO Box 3700
Newtown, CT 06470
Another way to help is to donate. Various organizations have created accounts to help, including the Newtown Memorial Fund and the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.
Many families have also set up individual memorial funds in the name of their loved one.
One Newtown native is selling "I Love Newtown" t-shirts to help. Anyone can purchase the shirts for $25 dollars online.

Western Canadian farmers will be marketing their wheat, durum and barley in an open market for the first time in generations with the end of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) single desk at the start of the 2012-13 crop year on Aug. 1.
Some farmers may choose to continue marketing their wheat through new voluntary pools the revamped CWB intends to offer, but there will also be other pricing options, speakers said here at the Wild Oats GrainWorld conference on Tuesday.
"If there's one word to describe the future going forward, it's 'volatility,'" said Keith Bruch of Winnipeg-based Paterson GlobalFoods.
As a result, many farmers will likely be looking to market some of their wheat, durum and barley through pooling, as they did with the CWB historically. However, other pricing options will also be available.
A significant aspect of the new voluntary CWB will involve pooling options for producers, said Gord Flaten, the board's vice-president of marketing and sales. He highlighted some of the benefits of pooling in an open market, but said the details of those options will be released over the next few weeks.
From a farmer's standpoint, price pooling will provide effective and offer hassle-free risk management, said Flaten. Pooling is also designed to maximize returns to farmers, in order to make sure they keep signing up in subsequent years. CWB pools will also provide more delivery options and flexibility in terms signup times and grading.
Flaten also foresaw many producers marketing some of their grain through a pool and another portion in the open market. In that scenario, the pool will provide producers with a good performance benchmark for the rest of their marketing program.
From a grain company's standpoint, CWB pools will allow them to handle grain without taking a long position.
Bruch said price pooling was also a possible option that grain companies will look at in addition to the CWB pools -- although it remains to be seen to what extent they will be utilized.
Alternatives to pooling for risk management largely revolve around the futures contracts in Minneapolis, Kansas City, Chicago and Winnipeg, although the challenge in the new ICE Futures Canada contracts will be liquidity, said Bruch.
Wheat has more risk than other commodities, he said, due to the larger number of variables at play with respect to quality.
Grain company contracting options, Bruch said, will likely include flat price contracts, basis-only contracts (where the basis is locked in and the futures are open), futures-only (where the futures are locked in), target price (where the producer sets the price and the grain company executes when that price is hit), floor price contracts (which set a minimum and leave the upside open) and average-price contracts (which operate like pools), among other possibilities.
Which contract options are used will largely depend on producers, what they utilize and what they find benefit from going forward.

Why Chris MacBrien chose Treasure Beach
I first travelled to Treasure Beach for the Christmas with my parents on what was truly an adventure.We stayed at another house for three Christmas´ and fell in love with the area, the location, the Sea, the pace of life, the food and of course the people. Many of whom I have grown up with and are dear friends. There was this empty house for sale at the end of the beach on top of the bluff and the rest is the amazing journey.
What makes this villa unique
Bev, Len and Pheona ( Staff ). Total privacy. The view from the front Terrace up the coast to Great Pedro Bluff. The amazing swimming beach just below. Snorkelling in front of the house. The sound of the Sea. The gentle breeze through the house. The Garden side in the morning with the Hummingbirds and Lizards. The Food.........The Food........The Food

Over the last nine months Federal Reserve monetary policy has been working over time with a huge expansion of the money supply, especially in the monetary base, that is setting up the U.S. economy for significant price inflation in the not too distant future.
I discuss the Fed's activist monetary policy in terms of a various monetary aggregates in a new piece of mine on, "Federal Reserve Monetary Expansion Threatens Future Price Inflation."
The monetary base grew by 90 percent between August of 2008 and early April 2009. Two other monetary measures, M-1 and M-2, respectively, went up 18 percent and 10 percent during this period.
Why hasn't the large growth in the monetary base been reflected in higher rates of growth in M-1 and M-2? Because a large proportion is being held by banks as excess reserves, i.e., reserves in excess of required reserves on outstanding depositor liabilities.
In August 2008, excess reserves equaled 4.4 percent of total bank reserves. In early April 2009, according to the latest Fed report, excess reserves stand at 93 percent of total reserves.
Banks have been shoring up their cash position in the wake of the financial crisis that broke out last year. Also, the continuing uncertainties about the economy, and especially government regulatory, fiscal and monetary policy, have made many banks reluctant to get themselves out on a limp again. And, in addition, the Federal Reserve has been paying a positive rate of interest on excess reserves held by the banks.
But when those excess reserves starting being lent out, either to private sector borrowers or to the Federal government to fund its massive budget deficits this year and next, those hundreds of billions of dollars created by the Fed will start putting upward pressure on the prices for investment goods, labor, resources, and consumer goods.
The lingering fears expressed in the media about price deflation will turn into the reality of rising price inflation.

"I currently have 4 chili recipes that I love & rotate, but today I wanted to try something different. I adore Cajun-style food, so I decided to give this one a whirl. I'm so glad I did! The seasonings blend together beautifully & the honey adds a bit of sweetness which contrasts nicely with the spiciness. I did make a few minor changes - I used 1 lb of pork sausage & 1 lb of ground beef. I used a can of diced chilis, which I added in with the tomatoes & seasonings. I used a can of chili beans in place of the pinto beans. I would make it exactly the same way next time. Thanks for this recipe - it's such a fun & interesting twist on traditional chili!"

FORT WAYNE – The guy on the other end of the line is talking about giving back, on this fine July day. He's talking about opportunity. He's talking about finding something he feels has been lost, or at the very least has been occasionally misplaced.
It is not quite a These Kids Today sighting. But it's close enough that you can feel the air stir as it passes.
I want to show kids that this game, or whatever you want to do, it's an opportunity, Chris Kramer says now. You have a window to be successful. You can do whatever you want if you set your mind to it. I want to show them the opportunities are there if they want to go for them.
And, well, he should know.
It's summer now and Kramer, 25, the former Huntington North and Purdue standout, is talking about his upcoming basketball camp July 24-25 at his old high school, a first for him. But he's also talking about playing basketball in Germany the last two winters, an opportunity that was there for him and that, yes, he went for.
You take your chances where you find them in this life, especially when you're young and you're better at what you do than most. And so after knocking around the D-League with the Mad Ants for a year, trying to get a look or something more, Kramer turned his gaze overseas.
Basketball is, after all, an international game now. So why not take it international?
It's a pretty easy transition, actually, says Kramer, who averaged 8.3 points, 4.7 assists and 3.9 rebounds last season for Ewe Baskets Oldenburg in the German Bundesliga and has already re-upped for next season. There's six Americans on the team, and that makes it a little easier. The game is kind of similar, too. The way they look at basketball is a little bit different and some of the concepts are a little bit different, but it's a Big Ten, physical, defensive game. And that kind of fit my style and some of those things that made me successful in the past.
Like a glove, frankly. Think Kramer, after all, and you think human floor burn: lockdown defense, blue collar mentality, connoisseur of all those small skills that might not plump up your stat line but make the scoreboard look good at the end. And so you will not be surprised at all to learn that Oldenburg reached its league championship before bowing out.
It was a good season, Kramer says.
And it needed to be. If the upside of playing overseas was finding a good fit for his game, the downside is that, as an American player, you'd better find the game a good fit. Otherwise it can lonesome in a hurry with an ocean and half-a-continent between you and home.
Yeah, the Americans are normally your go-to guys per se, Kramer says. They're the ones normally that they're going to score the points, they're going to do all the things the team needs. It's fun. You'd rather have that role instead of just being another guy.
Well, the ball's in your court, and if you go out there and perform, you see your team win, and everything is good, he goes on. But you can also see when the Americans don't play well and your team loses, then you've kind of got to figure things out.
That part, it seems, is taken care of. Eleven of the 12 players on Oldenburg's roster are returning next season, the coaches all speak English and won't have to familiarize themselves with anyone, and the goal is self-evident.
We're hoping to get back and have a different outcome this time, Kramer says.
Opportunity knocks again.

Women Behaving BadlyAs the struggle for women's empowerment continues in many low-income countries, there is a general expectation that women who manage to get into leadership positions will be committed to the empowerment struggle. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case. While there are women who have excellently upheld integrity and honesty in their leadership roles, sadly, there are other women who can easily match their male counterparts in corruption, greed and other leadership malfeasance...

text: The New Pope is Cardinal Bergoglio of Argentina by Debra Heine 13 Mar 2013 post a comment Share This: In response to White Smoke Rises From Sistine Chapel: A New Pope Has Been Chosen: The LA Times reports: Jorge Mario Bergoglio was named the 266th pope Wednesday, succeeding Benedict XVI as leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics and inheriting a global church that is growing in some parts of the world but faces serious challenges at home and abroad. Bergoglio, 76, of Argentina, was elected by his fellow cardinals in their fifth round of voting, securing a two-thirds majority just 24 hours after their conclave began in the magnificent precincts of the Sistine Chapel. He took the papal name Francis I. The speed of the selection -- only a few hours longer than it took the last conclave to choose Benedict in 2005 -- showed that the cardinals quickly coalesced behind a candidate despite reports of increasing divisions among the cardinals making the choice. Cardinal Bergoglio is known for his personal personal humility and doctrinal conservatism He lives in a small apartment, rather than in the palatial bishop's residence. He gave up his chauffeured limousine in favor of public transportation, and he reportedly cooks his own meals. In one extraordinary moment, Bergoglio, (Pope Francis I) bowed to the crowd and asked for their silent prayers. He also led a prayer for the departing pope, Benedict XVI. "Let us pray all of us together … so that he's blessed by the lord and guarded." Fox's Shep Smith was hoping for a "reformer", but according to CNN, Pope Francis is considered "a straight-shooter who calls things as he sees them, and a follower of the church's most conservative wing" He has clashed with the government of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner over his opposition to gay marriage and free distribution of contraceptives. I'm very pleased with this new Pope.

November 27, 2014
Oct. 15, 2013
A group led by Reverend Dr. Melania Miller delivered a petition with over 32,000 names to the Albemarle County office of 5th District Congressman Robert Hurt.
The petition from the group demands action on the government shutdown.
Miller says that they want the government back open because the people who are suffering from the shutdown the most are the same people that their faith says need the most protection.
"We're here to talk to him about his Christian faith" says Miller. "Remind him that The Bible is very clear about the imperative to care for the core and to really remind him that he has a choice that he can vote now to end this shutdown, get America back to work or continue to go against his faith. "
Below is Congressman Hurt's full statement:
"I always appreciate hearing from Fifth District Virginians, especially during this very difficult time. Two weeks into this lapse in federal operations, I remain committed to making every effort to fund critical government programs. Of the fifteen bills passed out of the House to fund the federal government since the beginning of this impasse, all but one have been blocked by our colleagues in the Senate, including a bill to restore funding for nutrition programs for low-income persons. If they will not negotiate on a plan to fully reopen the government, the least the Senate can do is bring our legislation to the floor to vote to fund crucial programs on a short-term basis. I am hopeful that the conversations currently taking place will lead to a resolution to this situation so that we can move forward and concentrate on implementing fiscally sound policies on behalf of the American people."

You can obtain Bulletins using EPA's Bulletins Live! system.
If your pesticide label directs you to this Web site, you are required to follow the pesticide use limitations found in the Bulletin for your county, pesticide active ingredient and application month.
EPA's Bulletins contain the following information:
- Map of the county to which it applies
- Description of the species being protected
- Pesticide(s) of concern
- Pesticide use limitations
- Month for which the Bulletin is valid
The term "county" refers to counties, parishes and municipios found within the United States and its territories.
Important notes
- Bulletins may be accessed up to six months prior to pesticide application. Be sure that you follow the correct Bulletin for the month of your pesticide application.
- When referenced on a pesticide label, Bulletins are enforceable use limitations under FIFRA.
- The pesticide use limitations found in Bulletins Live! are part of EPA's federal program to protect listed species.

We may see new tape, re-evaluate prospects at camps/events, confirm their size, see athletes live for the first time, and come up with a slightly different view than we had previously.
Four prospects added their fourth star out of the southeast this update and they are Gavin Bryant, Lorenzo Featherston, Kendarius Webster, and Shakenneth Williams.
We take a little closer look at each here:
Gavin Bryant | MLB | 6-2/235 | Jackson (Ala.) Jackson
New Ranking: No. 11 MLB | No. 267 Overall
Quick Hit: Bryant is committed to Tennessee and the Vols are getting a very athletic linebacker. He is very aggressive, he flies to the ball, and he a striker. He is one of the top prospects in Alabama.
Lorenzo Featherston | DE | 6-6/220 | Greensboro (N.C.) Page
New Ranking: No. 23 DE | No. 201 Overall
Quick Hit: Featherston is a rush end that is lean and light right now, but has the frame to add considerable weight. He is quick off the ball and is great in pursuit. He recently visited Florida and Florida State and he has yet to narrow his list down. Clemson and North Carolina among many others are in this race.
Kendarius Webster | CB | 5-11/175 | Stockbridge (Ga.) Stockbridge
New Ranking: No. 30 CB | No. 249 Overall
Quick Hit: The more we see of Webster, the more we like him. He was impressive at the Nike Football Training Camp, we liked what we saw in spring practice, and he is a kid that has gone from a high three-star to a member of the Scout 300 this cycle. The corner with good size has an impressive offer list. Florida State was the last school to offer late in May. Scout thinks FSU, Georgia, and Ole Miss are all main players here.
Shakenneth Williams | WR | 6-1/198 | Macon (Ga.) Rutland
New Ranking: No. 42 WR | No. 275 Overall
Quick Hit: South Carolina will get a visit from this long, thick, and very strong Peach State receiver. He is supposed to be in Columbia on Saturday. Georgia and Vanderbilt are two other schools to keep an eye on. When you see Williams in person, you get a real feel for what type of player he is and that he can be. He is physical, tough to slow down off the ball, and he has deceptive speed. His hands are a real strength too.

So the on-off relationship between Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson has flicked 'off' again. The couple had been dating again since February after their 2007 split, and a source told In Touch Weekly, 'Owen wants to get married and he proposed to Kate soon after they got back together. But she's not ready.' Ouch and ouch again, Owen. But really, what were you thinking, shacking up with an ex?
So what can we learn from Kate and Owen's handy example?
- If he thinks you're a bit flaky and you think he's a bit stalky, chances are you'll never really see eye to eye.
- Unless your ex has had copious amounts of therapy/been in rehab/travelled around the world, you can be pretty sure that the reasons you broke up with him will still be there second time around.
- Your friends love you. But breaking up with the same person you broke up with in 2007? DULL. We've already run out of things to say on this subject. For all our sakes, move on.

A Wiggler is an enemy in the Mario series of games. It is a yellow caterpillar that was introduced in Super Mario World, and was later introduced in the Mario Kart series in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
In Mario Kart
The likeness of Wiggler makes its first Mario Kart appearance in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Borrowing its green color from Super Mario Sunshine, long Wiggler-like buses appeared as part of the traffic in Mushroom Bridge and Mushroom City. Unlike the cars and trucks, which simply made racers spin out, Wiggler Buses flipped racers over. They are also immune to all items and attacks; if a player with a Starman hits a Wiggler, they will simply bounce back.
In Mario Kart DS, Wiggler is the final boss on Level 7 in Mission Mode. A racer must beat Wiggler in a race on Mushroom Bridge by collecting Starmen and staying at the fastest rate possible. Wiggler gets faster after each lap has passed and on the last lap Wiggler gets angry.
In Mario Kart Wii, two Wigglers appear in Maple Treeway. Bumping into them pushes racers back. A competition on Wario's Gold Mine took place with a Wiggler. Players had to race it and like Mario Kart DS, Wiggler gets angry on the last lap.

Media server verification points for a mixed Windows master server
|Created: 2012-02-07
|Updated: 2013-03-01
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO70352
The following table describes the media server verification procedures for a mixed Windows master server.
Table: Media server verification procedures for a mixed Windows master server
Verify the Windows media server for a mixed Windows master server
See Media server verification points for Windows. for the verification procedures for a Windows media server.
Verify the UNIX media server
Check that the computer certificate is issued from the root authentication broker, found on the Windows master server (win_master). To determine which authentication broker the media server is authenticated against, run bpnbat -whoami with -cf for the media server's credential file.
For example:
bpnbat -whoami -cf /usr/openv/var/vxss/credentials/unix_media.company.com Name: unix_media.company.comDomain: NBU_Machines@ win_master.company.com Issued by: /CN=broker/OU=root@win_master.company.com/ O=vx Expiry Date: Oct 31 14:48:08 2007 GMT Authentication method: Veritas Private Security Operation completed successfully.
Verify that the server has access to the authorization database
To make sure that the media server is able to access the authorization database it needs to perform authorization checks. Run bpnbaz -ListGroups -CredFile "/usr/openv/var/vxss/credentials/<hostname>"
For example:
bpnbaz -ListGroups -CredFile\ /usr/openv/var/vxss/credentials/unix_media.company.com NBU_Operator NBU_AdminNBU_SAN Admin NBU_UserNBU_Security Admin Vault_Operator Operation completed successfully.
If the media server is not allowed to perform authorization checks, run bpnbaz -allowauthorization on the master server for the media server name in question.
Unable to load library message
Verify the media server and that it has access to the proper database indirectly. This verification informs us that the NetBackup Authentication and Authorization client libraries for both authentication and authorization are properly installed. If either of these procedures fail with a message "unable to load libraries": Check to make certain the authentication client libraries and authorization client libraries are installed.
Cross platform authentication domains
You may also verify that the authentication domains are correct by viewing the access control host properties for this media server. Or, you may also verify by cat(1)ing the bp.conf file.
Take extra care in mixed environments to ensure that the appropriate domain types point to the correct authentication brokers.
In the example, note that the PASSWD domains and NIS domains point to unix_media2.company.com, which, in this example, is the UNIX authentication broker:
cat bp.conf SERVER = win_master.company.com MEDIA_SERVER = unix_media.company.com MEDIA_SERVER = unix_media2.company.com CLIENT_NAME = unix_media AUTHENTICATION_DOMAIN = win_master "win_master domain" WINDOWS win_master.company.com 0 AUTHENTICATION_DOMAIN = enterprise "enterprise domain" WINDOWS win_master.company.com 0 AUTHENTICATION_DOMAIN = unix_media2.company.com "local unix_media2 domain" PASSWD unix_media2.company.com 0 AUTHENTICATION_DOMAIN = min.com "NIS domain" NIS unix_media.company.com 0 AUTHORIZATION_SERVICE = win_master.company.com 0 USE_VXSS = AUTOMATIC

By Sad Man's Tongue, Photos Unknown At This Time
I have a couple of friends in Cologne, Germany. Unfortunately, none of them are as hot as Pin Up Girl and Burlesque Dancer Lizzy Malone. Hence why we don't visit our friends often. But now we have a really really good reason to visit Cologne, and it's not for the sausage.
From a seductive burlesque act or Pin Up girl Lizzy can go from role to role like a chameleon. Retro, vintage, or modern seductress she plays her role's very well. But what really caught our eyes was those gorgeous legs of hers. So it is only fitting that she should grace our 80th Legs gallery. This well kept secret won't be a secret for long:)

While landing on runway 4, the tail-wheel equipped homebuilt airplane touched down on all three landing gear at 85 mph. After rolling about 100 feet, the aircraft swerved left, and exited the runway. The pilot applied full right rudder, which had no effect. The airplane traveled through a barbed wire fence before coming to a stop nose down in a "flooded" cow pasture. The wind at the time of the accident was from 320 degrees at 8 knots.

Friday, 18 September 2009 00:00Over the past few days I have watched from the windows in my office as staff and students have visited The Wheatley School to participate in the annual rituals accompanying the opening of school. The new eighth grade parents and students always bring a smile to me as they hover nervously around the lockers to become assured that they will have access when school starts. Students at North Side are back on the playground and simply cannot wait for the doors to open, while seniors have returned to take their yearbook photos and claim their rightful place on the Wheatley throne.
This year I have selected a theme that brings us back to our core purpose: "We must keep our focus on what really matters: Every child who walks through the doors of our schools." As we plan programs and activities, I would ask that we all keep this theme in mind. Too often we become bogged down with the "bricks and budget" issues and forget that our schools exist to nurture the best in each child: morally, socially, artistically, emotionally and physically. These are the words of our Mission Statement and we need to use it as our guide throughout this year.
You will notice that an incredible amount of work has been accomplished in all of our buildings. Work on the Wheatley roof began the day after our schools closed in June and while the major portions have been completed, we have some finishing touches to be done throughout the month of September. In the interest of safety, work will occur only after school hours. We are planning the promised lasagna party to celebrate the community's gift of the Wheatley roof on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 6:30 p.m., just prior to the Board of Education Work Session. Look for details to be posted on the district website. We have used the EXCEL funds to finally address the flooding in the entranceways to North Side and Wheatley. Generators are being installed at North Side and Willets Road, all six bathrooms have been renovated at North Side, univentilators have been repaired and white boards have been installed in all buildings.
Our updated Plan for Results continues to have student performance and engagement at the forefront of the district's priority areas. Other priority areas include fiscal accountability, community relations, technology accessibility, wellness and safety, facilities maintenance and governance. The board established several committees to support many of these priority areas and I do hope that you consider participating on these committees or lending your constructive voices at board of education meetings. Committee applications can be downloaded from the district website.
As part of our attention to safety, we have added a direct link to the Parents For Megan's Law website (PFML) so that district residents can be updated by email whenever a sex offender moves into our district's boundaries. Registration forms for these email updates can be downloaded from the district website or directly from the PFML website. A Safe Schools Helpline link has also been added to the website which provides another avenue for students to be able to anonymously seek help during times of emotional crisis.
Despite the bleak financial climate of the past year, you overwhelmingly supported the district with the passage of our bond and budget. We will continue to keep a keen fiscal watch over our budgetary practices as we expend these funds and prepare for the next budget cycle. Please continue to stay involved and informed by utilizing the communication devices available on our website and attending our board of education meetings, community forums and PTO meetings.

First off, this is a serious thread. I am sure it'll draw some laughs or comments I won't want to hear but that's alright. I am looking for advice/suggestions/thoughts for this, and paying a hooker isn't an option.
I am 24 years old, a great looking guy, and I have never been in a serious relationship. I'm well kept, dress well, look handsome, workout often. I have gone on dates before and gotten hugs, but that's about it. Longest girl I "dated" was two months, and then we broke up. Lack of interest pretty much. Usually the girls I have met that I've "dated" have been through friends.
So I am not sure what to think. I am 24 years old, came close to having sex one time (only cause we were both drunk), never have made out with a girl. Meanwhile, most guys at 24 years old are either A.) Married B.) In a serious relationship or C.) Have had sex once..or twice..or more.
I am very confident in myself and I am always friendly. Always making new friends with guys/girls, I go out to the bars/nightclubs every weekend pretty much. I do other things such as going to church by myself (I do not go to church just to meet girls though), I go to the gym pretty much everyday, I go to the mall by myself. So I am definitely comfortable and happy with me in general. I have no issues talking or meeting girls. For some reason, it just hasn't happened. I haven't met that someone I look at and would be like "Wow, I want her to be my girlfriend". Perhaps I have met girls that are potential girlfriends but I just don't know how to ask them out. If someone can give me pointers that would probably help, so I can see if I'm doing something wrong.
I feel great about my life, but it's definitely missing some companionship. Being single is cool and all, but I'm starting to feel it creep up on me as I get older. And seeing all my friends at 24/25 in serious relationships or being married doesn't help. Nor does the fact I'm 24 years old and still a virgin sexually and on the lips.
Barring any jokes, any thoughts/suggestions on what I can try?

Angels of Peace
by Diana Cooper
There is a story about a man who walked along the edge of the ocean, picking up beached starfish and throwing them back into the water. When someone said, 'Why do you bother? It can't possibly make a difference,' he gently replaced another in the ocean and replied, quietly. 'It sure made a difference to that one.' The Angels of Peace wish you to know how you can make a difference to peace on Earth.
Some years ago beautiful Angels of Peace approached me. They were luminous creamy-white beings, with soft feathery wings. They stood about eight-foot tall and emanated a sense of total peace and stillness.They asked me to impart this message to those who would listen. 'Peace must be spread and it can only start within individuals who are ready to forgo their power struggle with others. Peace is surrender to spirit, not proving you are better than another.'Then they suggested that everyone be asked to make a corner of their home into a peace corner, a space in which you think only peaceful thoughts. It can be as small as one chair in the house but having chosen the spot never approach it unless your thoughts are centered and peaceful. From that little corner peace will spread, filling and protecting your home.
A mother of a thirteen-year old girl told me that she and her husband were in considerable conflict and their two sons quarreled incessantly. Their young teenage daughter decided to create a peace corner. She chose a chair and sat in it every day, thinking peaceful thoughts and asking the Angels of Peace to help her. Her mother told me that the effect of the household was amazing. A balm spread through the family. Within a short space of time the boys had literally stopped quarreling and become friends, while she and her husband had resolved all their difficulties. She added that you could feel the peace as you walked into their house and now each one of them took time to sit in the peace chair.
If you create a peace corner in your village or city, where you think peaceful thoughts as you pass, the Angels of Peace will be able to anchor peace at that point and everyone who walks through it will be touched. It is even more effective if you ask friends to do this with you.
Like all Spiritual Beings of Light, the Peace Angels are waiting and longing to help but cannot do so under
Spiritual Law unless they are asked. A lady shared this story during a phone in. Her beloved father had died and she was devastated. She did not know how she could cope with the funeral. When she went to bed, in desperation, she asked the angels to help. That night an angel came into her dream and she heard hymns being sung around her. She felt total peace and this feeling stayed with her and sustained her through the funeral.Angels often sing over you when you are asleep at night. If you ask them to they will do so more often. The music heals you and fills you with peace.
Every time you think with compassion of a person, place or situation in need of help, you create a bridge of light along which the angels can travel in order to help, if you ask them to.During the war in Bosnia, a politician told me that he would be visiting a refugee camp there. That afternoon five hundred people gathered in London to create a rainbow bridge to Kosovar, inviting the angels to use it to do what they could to help. The politician later wrote to me and told me that the camp, where 50,000 frantic people, who had undergone unbelievable suffering and loss were housed, emanated an atmosphere of darkness. He felt a sense of dread as he entered and listened to the litany of ghastly stories from the anxious people. In his words, 'Then something wonderful happened. The clouds cleared and an extraordinary light suffused the camp. The camp became alive with people walking arm in arm. There was laughter, warmth and dignity. The mood was almost exultant.' The politician left with a sense of hope. When he checked the timing it was absolutely precise. The change happened at the moment we sent the light from London. Individually and collectively we can, with the help of the angels, create peace on Earth.
Whenever you send out thoughts of love, compassion and peace; whenever you forgive another or have empathy with someone, you activate the Spiritual Law of Grace. Grace transmutes the karma of others and adds light to the world. You make a difference to that person. Of course, whatever you offer another, you receive for yourself. You cannot give love away for it inevitably comes back to you multiplied and enhances your life. The more love, peace,empathy, joy, compassion and light you give out, the more credit you accrue in your karmic bank account. Your soul can call on this when you need it and you then become a 'lucky' person.
Working with the Angels of Peace
To create a Peace CornerChoose a corner of your house where you only have thoughts of peace. Invite the Angels of Peace to spread their energy through your home. Create bridges of light by sending thoughts of peace to people, places and situations so that the angels can access them.
To create a Peace Altar
Place a cloth on a small table or chest. On it you may have a candle, incense, crystals, flowers, feathers, or pictures of loved ones to raise the vibration. An angel bowl.Find a beautiful bowl and place it on your altar. Lovingly write the names of anyone you wish the Angels of Peace to enfold in their wings. Put the names in your angel bowl and know that the angels will help them.
