Game Recaps
Sizzle are Runner Up in the BYC Futsal Tournament
In their first foray into Futsal, the Sizzle finished as runners up in the BYC Annual Futsal Tournament, losing to Champions Nether Providence 4-0.
The Sizzle won all three of their regulation games with a strong goaltending by the trio of Natalie Bruinsma, Dana Mirigliano and Gia Panichelli. Natalie did not surrender a goal until midway through the finals.
The Sizzle's first opponent was Garnet Valley Garnet team who the Sizzle faced in the PAGS fall league. Gia Panichelli opened the scoring in the first half. After Julia Carlin added a first half goal, Garnet Valley scored in the second half to come within one. Abby Aughe added an insurance goal to clinch the victory. Sizzle won the game 3-1.
The second game was the same outcome as the Sizzle beat the host BYC 3-1. Natalie Bruinsma opened up the scoring as Emma Sulpizio and Bria Hemphill added a goal a piece. Gia Panichelli had an assist in the victory.
The Sizzle exploded for 6 goals in the third game as Abby Aughe netted three, Julia Carlin scored twice and Bria Hemphill added one as the Sizzle downed Garnet Valley White 6-0. Gia Panichelli and Dana Mirigliano combo in goal recorded a shutout.
Sizzle then played Nether Providence in the finals, who also finished the regulation round without a loss.. Natalie Bruinsma played excellent in goal
as she made save after save to keep the game close. Nether's sharp passing and excellent ball control proved too much for Sizzle.
Also having a stong tournament were the Galloway sisters, Jamie and Jordan who provided strong defense and aggressive offense.
Sizzle start the Premier Futsal League on Januaty 26th where they will get another shot at Nether Providence.
Sizzle Blank Lightning
Aidan Gallagher recorded another shutout as the Sizzle beat the Haverford Lightning 1-0.
The Sizzle's lone goal came off a beautiful move by Natalie Bruinsma as she faked out the Lightning Defender and steered the ball toward Emma Suplizio, who directed it past Haverford's goalkeeper.
Sizzle Rebound Against Lady Reds
November 1, 2010
The Sizzle exploded with 4 goals plus 1 "own goal" to beat the Lady Reds on Sunday.
The defensive tandem of Abby Aughe and Emma Whitaker prevented the Lady Reds from taking any shots on goal, making for a very uneventful day for goalies Natalie Bruinsma and Dana Mirigliano.
Goals were scored by Aidan Gallagher, Abby Aughe, Bria Hemphill and Erin Gormley. The fifth goal was credited to the Sizzle when a Lady Reds defender kicked the ball into her own net when trying to clear the ball after being pressured by Dana Mirigliano.
The following players also had scoring chances: Jamie Galloway, Jordan Galloway, Emma Suplizio, Gia Panichelli and Julia Carlin.
The Sizzle go in to the final weekend with a 5-2-1 record and a chance to claim 2nd place in U9 Division 7 of PAGS.
Tomahawks cool Sizzle.
October 25, 2010
Swarthmore Young Tomahawks ended the Sizzle's 5 gaming winning streak on Sunday, scratching and clawing their way to a exciting 2-0 win.
Sizzle's goalkeepers, Aidan and Natalie made great saves to keep the Sizzle in the game as the offense couldn't seem to find the net.
Julia Carlin, Emma Sulpizio, Aidan Gallagher and Bria Hemphill all had scoring chances.
Sizzle resume their schedule on Sunday at home against the Lady Reds.
Sizzle take down Lady Reds
October 23, 2010
Natalie Bruinsma started off the scoring as she headed a punt from the Liverpool goalie, gained control of the ball, and blasted it into the left side of net.
Bria Hemphill added 2 goals as Emma Sulpizio and Erin Gormley added one a piece as the Sizzle beat the Lady Reds 5-0. Julia Carlin also added an assist in the win.
The goalkeeping combination of Dana Mirigliano and Natalie Bruinsma with the help of the defensive combo of Emma Whitwaker and Abby Aughe allowed the Sizzle to record another shutout.
Aidan Gallagher, Jamie and Jordan Galloway provided additional offensive support in the game.
Aidan shuts down Tomahawks!
October 17, 2010
Aidan Gallagher had 6 saves, including a tremendous stop on a breakaway by Swarthmore, picking up a weary Sizzle Team.
Erin Gormley had the game's only goal. Emma Sulpizio and Jordan Galloway had a scoring chance a piece.
The Sizzle have now won 4 straight games.
Gormley Nets 3 as Sizzle beats Blaze
October 16, 2010
The Sizzle beat the Blaze on the strength of Erin Gormley's 3 goals. Bria Hemphill added 2 assists as the stonewall defense of Emma Whitaker and Abby Aughe shut down the Blaze.
Sizzle Take Home Hunter Jack Walsh Trophy!!!!!!
In their first ever soccer tournament, our Springfield Sizzle U9 team came home with the Championship Trophy after stunning the Division 3 Westmont Blue Thunder 2-1 in the Hunter Jack Walsh Championship game.
The Sizzle got outstanding goaltending from sure handed Aidan Gallagher, who in the first half of the day, shutdown the Ukrainian National Thunder (Horsham) 1-0 which elevated the team to the championship game. Aidan also added an assist in this hard fought game.
There were many heros in the four games they played, here are some of the highlights:
Emma Whitaker and Abby Aughe were tough as nails as they frustrated the opposing offense by swarming the ball. Natalie "The Enforcer" Bruinsma pitched in to help aid in the strong defensive half of the field.
Erin Gormley perplexed the defense with her pinpoint passing. Erin along with linemate Julia Carlin were the workhorses for Springfield playing most of the last two deciding games. Erin came away with two assists on the weekend.
Bria Hemphill, "The Flyer", scored goals in both Sunday games on breakaways where she outran everyone on the field.
Dana Mirigliano, who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, hammered home what proved to be the decisive goal in the Championship game. Dana wedged herself between Westmont's defensive wall on a corner kick by Erin Gormley and somehow got it through two defenders.
Gia Panachelli opened up the scoring for the weekend with a goal against CRUSA Independence in the opening game.
Emma Sulpizio, Jamie Galloway, and Jordan Galloway adjusted well to new positioning set forth by the Sizzle coaching staff. Jordan and Jamie anchored the Center Midfield position with Natalie Bruinsma, while Emma played a strong pressuring offense.
The Sizzle return to their PAGS schedule at the friendly confines of New Nether Netherwood field Saturday 10/16 against Garnet Valley.

Here we go again lol. ANOTHER reality show will hit the Oxygen network this September! America's Next Top Model winner Eva Marcille & her gal pals prance around Hollywood trying to break into the entertainment business but find it very challenging.They form a special bond and more. I remember when it was rumored that Eva was working on some new projects but nobody really knew, but now we see what she was talking about! I don't know if my brain can take another reality show with women but this one looks quite different. If there is fashion involved, I may just tune in. I will have to watch one episode to see. I have A.D.D. so they better be able to keep my attention lol.
This will be a six-episode series that will feature Eva the model turned actress,Denyce Lawton the actress,Nikki Chu the interior & product designer and Kelly Marie Dunn the talent & brand manager. Sounds like an interesting line up.
"Our viewers can relate to these four amazing women in so many ways," Rod Aissa, senior vice president of Original Programming and Development for Oxygen Media said. "Eva and her friends are at various points in their lives, and they're taking career risks, looking for love and just trying to figure out the next step. Yet they know that whatever happens, they're anchored by their unbreakable friendship".The reality show premieres Monday, Sept. 3 at 11 p.m. on Oxygen. <<< 11pm? Welp, don't know if I will be watching,if it comes on that late, sorry! xoxo

The US sure loves to impose its laws, or what passes for laws, onto other countries especially when those countries are like the small Caribbean island of Antigua. And the US doesn't expect those countries to fight back.
A few years back, the US decided it didn't like Antigua enabling US citizens to gamble online, which is still illegal there, so it imposed a trade blockade.
Previously, about 5 percent of the island's population relied on the gambling industry, Antigua says. The island actually fought back against the block, by appealing to the World Trade Organization and won, back in 2005.
But the US doesn't care much for international organizations unless it's in its favor. So Antigua came up with a plan to recoup some of the money it was losing by making use of US intellectual property for free, to which the WTO actually agreed.
So now, Antigua is allowed to use US IP worth some $21 million, €15.70 a year and plans to do just that by opening a site that offers US music and movies at massive discounts.
The plan has been in the works for years but the site is now ready. Antigua has to consult the WTO on this, but the US managed to postpone the issue. It may not be able to do it again and the site may go live as early as next month.

Sensient Swings to Q1 Loss on Restructuring; Net Jumps Ex-Items
Posted: April 21, 2014
Sensient Technologies Corp. swung to a first-quarter loss of $2.08 million due to a restructuring charge, although excluding the charge it posted a 14.7% jump in net income to $35.37 million.
Consolidated revenue increased 0.7% to $368.1 million for the quarter. The flavors and fragrances group reported first-quarter revenue of $213.4 million compared to the $215.8 million reported in last year's first quarter.
View the company's entire earnings press release below or click here.
Sensient Technologies Corporation (NYSE: SXT) reported adjusted net earnings of 71 cents per share, a first quarter record and an increase of 14.5% over the prior year period's adjusted net earnings of 62 cents per share. Consolidated revenue increased to $368.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 from $365.6 million in last year's first quarter. The Company has continued to rationalize non-strategic business, which has impacted revenue growth. First quarter revenue grew by approximately 4%, as adjusted to remove the effect of the non-strategic business. Adjusted operating income increased 10.6% to $54.3 million compared to adjusted operating income of $49.1 million in last year's first quarter. Adjusted consolidated operating margins increased 140 basis points to 14.8% on strong performances across all of the operating groups. Foreign currency translation reduced both revenue and operating income by approximately one percent in the first quarter.
On March 4th, the Company announced that it was initiating a further restructuring plan to eliminate underperforming operations, consolidate manufacturing facilities and improve efficiencies within the Company. In 2013, the Company had restructuring costs to relocate the Flavors & Fragrances Group headquarters and consolidate manufacturing facilities. Pre-tax restructuring and other costs of $52.7 million and $12.8 million were recognized in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The costs incurred in the first quarter of 2014 include approximately $40 million of non-cash costs related to the write-down of fixed assets and intangibles. The restructuring and other costs reduced first quarter earnings by 75 cents per share in 2014, and 19 cents per share in 2013. Diluted earnings per share, as reported, were a loss of 4 cents in the first quarter of 2014 compared to income of 43 cents in the comparable period last year. As reported, the Company's operating income was $1.6 million and $36.3 million in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Consolidated operating margins, as reported, were 0.4% in the first quarter and 9.9% in the comparable period last year. The Company has included non-GAAP results to remove the costs related to the restructuring plan and other costs, and provide investors with a consistent view of the Company's operating performance.

We recently hosted a couple who had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before. You can spot first-timers, or newbies, a mile away. They are a normally a bit apprehensive about diving in and appreciating the bed and breakfast lodging experience. Well, at Farmers Guest House we aim to make everyone relaxed and comfortable so that they have the best Galena bed and breakfast experience possible. Check out our guest's review:
Our First Bed and Breakfast Experience! A+++
My husband and I had our first B&B experience at Farmer's Guest House last weekend and we were very impressed. It was such a great experience, we'll be coming back for sure! Our room was super clean and delightfully decorated, bed super comfy. The people we met were so fun and wine time @ 5:30p was comfortable. We received great restaurant information and our dinner reservations were made for us! It was also fun to relax in the Vogel Library with friends and have cocktails and good conversation. Great to have "a family breakfast" (amazing cooking!). The best part of our experience were the owners, so friendly and informative of the area – A+++ experience!

Director, Division of Financial Integrity
Health Resources and Services Administration
Monrovia, MD
Coming out of high school, Pat Reese wanted to become a nurse. But after one semester in school, she decided nursing wasn't for her. Pat knew she needed to get a college degree, so while working as a clerk typist, she went back to school to pursue a business degree. Luckily, one of her first classes was Accounting 101. After her third accounting class, she was hooked; she knew she wanted to become a CPA.
Today, Pat protects taxpayers' money. And she's proud of it. So what exactly does that mean?
Basically, Pat watches over our tax dollars to ensure organizations and people who get federal funding are held accountable. "When I identify instances where our money was used inappropriately, I feel like I am earning my paycheck," she says. "There is never a boring day!"
Even though Pat stays busy at work, she makes sure to take some time to sink her toes in the sand and spend time with her husband at their second home, overlooking a bay. "I love boating, walking along the beach, watching sunsets and sunrises on the water and catching up with family and friends," Pat says. What a great way to unwind after a long week at work.
If you think she has any regrets about becoming a CPA, think again. "Regardless of the specific job or industry you choose, being a CPA will add value and credibility. Choosing to become a CPA is a smart move and one you will always be glad you chose," she says.
"Choosing to become a CPA is a smart move and one you will always be glad you chose."
Years as a CPA: 30
Best job: Timekeeper for over 500 construction workers (how I met my husband)
Worst job: Federal Aviation Administration's Chief of Staff - not enough hours in the day!!
Hobbies outside of work: Boating, yard saling
Words to live by: "There are windows of opportunity everywhere you look. Be aware of these windows and recognize that they will close. Decide which windows you want to pursue and be sure to do so before they close."

A new development paradigm? China and Brazil in African agriculture
The growing visibility of the BRICS countries in international development cooperation has led to claims that they represent a challenge to the development paradigm, emphasising distinctive characteristics of horizontality, solidarity, mutual learning and partnership. Yet, beyond the political rhetoric, it is far from clear whether such a new approach is indeed emerging, and if so what it comprises.
At a recent IDS seminar, Professor Li Xiaoyun and Professor Qi Gubo of the Chinese Agricultural University in Beijing offered their perspectives based on the findings of their recently-published book, Agricultural Development in China: A Comparative Analysis. Focusing on China's experience of supporting agricultural development in Africa, they argued that China has made massive strides in achieving food security and poverty reduction, feeding 20 per cent of the world's population with only 8 per cent of the world's arable land.
Lessons from this experience are potentially important for Africa, they said. China has experience of labour intensive agriculture supported by locally developed appropriate technologies. China's 'green revolution', they pointed out, was home-grown and based on long-term public investment in research, agricultural education and infrastructure, and was not reliant on market led development.
Both China and Brazil are becoming increasingly important players in agricultural development in Africa, whether through technical assistance or trade and commercial investments in land and agriculture. In the longer term, these new players may reshape the way agricultural development is thought about, financed and implemented across Africa.
The implications of these new patterns of South-South cooperation are being discussed at a meeting in Brasilia this week, organised by the Future Agricultures Consortium in collaboration with the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) and the UK Department for International Development (DFID).
Rising Powers in African Agriculture
This meeting launches a new Future Agricultures Consortium research theme, allied to the IDS BRICS Initiative. An Economic and Social Research Council funded study on the 'Rising Powers in African Agriculture' will get underway later in the year. This will explore the links and disconnects between discourses, policies and practices in the agricultural development cooperation activities of Brazil and China as they take shape on the ground in Ghana, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Given the centrality of culture, history and experience to development cooperation interactions, these are conceptualised as 'knowledge encounters', shaped by cultural imaginaries, as well as technical understandings and political and economic interests. As new aid relationships are forged, understanding how these encounters create a new social and political dynamic on the ground will help us see whether the political rhetoric of a 'new paradigm' for aid is being created.
Clearly a diversification of support for African agriculture is a good thing. African countries have for too long been reliant on a narrow set of expertise channeled through aid and technical cooperation programmes from Europe and the US, or via the 'international' assistance of the global agricultural research centres (CGIAR) or the Gates Foundation, which replicate such perspectives. But with new players on the scene, does this now mean that African perspectives, local knowledge and located experimentation will have more chance of breaking through?
This remains an open question. As IDS Fellow Ian Scoones argues in a recent blog, there is a big danger that the top-down, expert-led stances of past development interventions – from colonialism to the western aid era – will be replicated. 'Aid is about power, and sadly in Africa this remains skewed to the outsider, wherever they come from', he comments.

Bilingual education is a method used to teach language-minority students in public schools. The concept is that teaching English Language Learners (ELLs) partially in their native language will enhance their understanding of the curriculum and help them succeed in an otherwise English-based environment. The hope is that once ELL students are fairly proficient in English, they can continue their education in classes with their English-speaking peers.
The question of whether or not these programs offer the best education for ELLs remains a point of contention. Proponents of bilingual education believe it is the ELL's right and need to make use of their native languages to ease their transition to an English-only education. Opponents say that the programs are hindering students' ability to learn curriculum by cradling them in their native languages too long.
The bilingual programs of today are mostly a product of the Bilingual Education Act (Title VII) passed in 1968. Congress passed the act as part of Civil Rights Title VI, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. The Bilingual Education Act requires that, when needed, schools must provide equal educational opportunities specifically for language-minority students. The Office of Civil Rights (OCR) enforces the act.
Under the act, ELL students must be kept in an adequate program until they can read, write, and comprehend English well enough to participate meaningfully in all aspects of the school's curriculum. While the OCR provides a set of characteristics that bilingual programs must have, it does not require any specific program for ELL instruction. Some of the common programs used by schools include:

Our blood is made up of several components and each one has a special function.
Red Blood Cells
- Red cells give blood its colour and accounts for up to 40% of its volume.
- The main function of these cells is to carry oxygen from the lungs to all the cells of the body and remove waste products such as carbon dioxide.
- Red cells have a shelf life of up to 42 days, stored in refrigeration.
Transfusions of red blood cells are used to treat people:
- with severe anaemia (such as Thalassaemia Major);
- whose red blood cells do not function adequately; and
- who experience severe bleeding, such as accident victims and patients undergoing surgery.
- It is the straw coloured fluid in which the red cells, white cells and platelets are suspended.
- It contains very important nutrients and clotting factors which help to prevent or stop bleeding.
- An average adult has approximately five litres of blood, three litres of which is plasma and 18 different products can be made from plasma donations
- Plasma is stored frozen and has a shelf life of up to 12 months
It is the most versatile component of blood as it can be processed into a variety of products and each product can be used to treat a number of potentially life-threatening conditions including burns, creating immunisations and helping haemophiliacs.
Find out what's involved in donating plasma.
- Platelets assist in the blood clotting process.
- They are literally tiny plates that wedge together covering tears in the blood vessels and preventing blood from leaking into surrounding tissue.
- Platelets are stored at room temperature and have a shelf life of only 5 days. This is why it is vital to have a constant flow of blood donations coming in.
Platelets are used primarily in the treatment of people with various cancers. Diseases such as leukaemia and medical treatments like chemotherapy can decrease a person's platelet count. If the number of platelets becomes too low spontaneous bleeding can occur. Even a small amount of bleeding can be dangerous, particularly if it occurs in the brain.

Bin Laden Dead, Say Fashion EliteApril 21st, 2002
PARIS -- Terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden is dead, say many of the worlds fashion aristocracy. "He has been put completely out of the picture," said Vogue fashion editor Claudia Gains, sporting a gold and cream brocade trouser suit by Favourbrook. "I wouldn't be caught dead with him next season."
The man hasn't been spotted in weeks from Paris to Milan, a de facto "death sentence" from the most famous designers in the fashion world.
"He is dead," said Italian designer Rodalpho Maerti, whose white tuxedo-style skirt suit stole the show at last year's fashion week extranvaganza. "He is gone. It was only a matter of time before his number was called. Until he becomes 'retro cool' in approximately 15-20 years."

'The Office' Season 7, Episode 11 Recap
For maybe the second time ever, we get an hour-long 'Office' episode that doesn't drag, or make a complete left turn in the second half. It was funny, and was as stuffed with story as the garbage bag Michael stuffed when he canceled the office's original Christmas party after getting the word about Holly's return.
That's not to say the episode was perfect from beginning to end, though. I don't know who the writer was that suggested that Dwight terrorize Jim with snowballs, but that entire story should be excised from all future showings of this episode. Someone can just insert a voiceover saying that Jim had a wicked nosebleed. Anything to keep me from seeing that cringe-inducer again.
I'll get to that bit of horror later. If you ignore that part of the show, the episode was quite funny and sweet, and it showed Michael in yet another opportunity that, while he's not completely grown up yet, he's quickly moving that way.
Michael went through so many emotions when he found out that Holly was coming back (thank you Scranton Strangler, am I right, people?), from elation to bitter disappointment to sadness to depression. Not sure what he expected; he knew that Holly was still with A.J. He even knew that the two of them were living together -- hadn't she moved in with A.J. by the time she and Michael saw each other at the company picnic? Maybe he forgot.
Anyway, the season seven version of Michael was in full force in this episode. One minute, he's passive-aggressively tossing Holly's Woody doll -- the one A.J. gave her -- into the trash and dumping coffee on it, and the next minute, he's telling Holly and the entire office how much she broke his heart. The only part that bewilders me is when he mentioned to Holly that she did a long-distance thing with A.J. after she told him that she didn't want to do one with him. Didn't A.J. work in the Nashua office? Was I missing something there?
It doesn't matter; Holly deserved whatever Michael gave her. They both know that they're perfect for each other. And you know that every time Michael and Holly have reconnected since the breakup, the chemistry has returned instantaneously. Michael even set up a sophisticated (for him) fake girlfriend test just to see the jealous look in her eye. So, even though Holly may say that what she and Michael had was a fling and what she and A.J. have is real, you know by the look on her face that she's lying to herself. The look she gave Michael as he was talking to Darryl's daughter said that, too.
By the way, how sweet was it when Pam stopped Michael in the parking lot to tell him about Holly's ultimatum to A.J.? It's yet another case where Mrs. Halpert has really come to care about Michael like he's a member of the family. And her analysis of the situation -- that no good marriage she knows of starts off with an ultimatum -- was one of her more insightful lines. Michael, to his credit, thinks he can wait until that end-of-the-year deadline. I'm not sure he can.
Pam was quite the involved office administrator this week, wasn't she? She talked to Michael, she helped Darryl try to connect with his daughter, and she made a great "The Adventures of Jimmy Halpert" comic book. Screw Ryan's notion that it's derivative of some unknown band and screw Phyllis' concern that they have no money. You could tell by how speechless Jim was in his side interview that it was one of the sweetest gifts ever. Though, I was still too steamed by the snowball fight story to get the full impact of Jim's speechlessness.
Look, I'm sure it was a fun notion to have Dwight get some leverage over Jim for once. But a scared and paranoid Jim is not a funny one. In fact, watching him destroy snowman after snowman in the credit tag was downright creepy. And it seems that the Dwight that somehow was becoming more of a rounded human just last week has reverted all the way back to the scary caricature that fans of the show got sick of three seasons ago. In fact, he crossed over from caricature to someone I didn't even want to see on my screen anymore. He may be one of those characters that's so broad you can believe him doing anything, but relentlessly pounding Jim with snowballs while Jim is in the fetal position might have been that step too far.
More fun stuff:
-- Loved the fact that Erin just couldn't think of Holly as attractive. "I'm waiting for Michael's pretty lady friend," she told Holly as she walked in. Then she suggested that she's not in the position to dump A.J. "Am I the only one who sees it?" she says in an interview immediately afterward.
-- The story about Darryl and his daughter gave us some insight into Darryl's personality. He tries his best -- even identifying with the 'iCarly' camera guy... "He's got a nice voice." -- but all he's trying to do is connect with his daughter. It was actually one of the more poignant 'Office' stories we've seen in a long time. Luckily, it seems like the kid is fascinated by vending machines.
-- Gabe: "Yes, we're still together. Why do people keep asking me that?"
-- Don't say the words "Maple candies" to Kevin then say you ate them in the car. Wow, if the office didn't hate Holly before that...
-- Angela gave deodorant to Creed and he didn't seem to be the least insulted. Gotta love Creed.
-- Speaking of Angela, it's too bad that her senator boyfriend... I mean state senator boyfriend is gay. In fact, the writers didn't even need to throw in the scene where the senator was looking at Ryan's backside. That knowing look he gave Oscar when they were introduced was enough.
-- "Do you know how many cameras are at a ribbon-cutting? Two!"
-- Poor Toby; even when he's on the jury of the trial of the century, no one wants to talk to him.
-- Only Kelly would think that everyone would want Hello Kitty laptop sleeves. Her response to Gabe when he mentioned getting blankets: "A blanket? What am I, a baby?" Well, an adult wouldn't carry her laptop in a Hello Kitty sleeve, would she?
-- Another good Kelly line: "I can't get anything lately unless I threaten to kill myself."
-- Andy means well, but is so clueless. Why would a pre-teen girl think answering questions about current events be any fun? And why would you hide the star on you?
-- If someone can print Pam's party committee line in full for me, I'd appreciate it. I'm sure she got tons of satisfaction from taking that box of evil from Angela and throwing it in the trash.
No new episodes until January 20th; the next episode has the loaded title 'The Ultimatum.' Looks like Michael won't have to wait very long.
'The Office' airs Thursdays at 9PM ET on NBC.

The staff are lovely, and the wifi worked up until my last day - not sure what happened. The place is really clean, it's close to the supermarket, the beach and the buses to the centre. Good for the price although breakfast is not included and the four bed room I was in only had fans so it was pretty hot at night time. Worth it for a few days though.

It is 1811, and the Prince has just become Regent, and Wellington has just retaken Portugal, and Napoleon has just started his secret plans to invade Russia. And Tatiana, the long-forgotten princess in the Winter Palace, becomes the unwilling pawn to further all their aims.
All her life, Tatiana has been a dependent of the Russian tsar. Now finally he has use for her-- in a forced marriage to a murderous British prince, in order to cement an alliance against Napoleon. She approaches this dire fate with characteristic optimism, determining that somehow, in the new country, she will find her way to a new freedom. What she doesn't expect is to find love on the way, with Devlyn, the handsome soldier sent to protect her on her voyage.
Major Devlyn, a staff officer for Wellington, is used to strategizing and scouting. These talents are no help in resisting his dangerous attraction to the pretty princess. Only he can sense the sadness beneath the dazzle, the orphaned girl within the princess. And only she can besiege his armored heart and lead him back to life.
Against the glamorous background of palaces and princes, within the political hazards of a world at war, Tatiana and Devlyn must defy generals, heads of state, and their own loyalties in their passionate need to give each other the love they have never gotten.

Joe E. Ross
He started out life in show biz as a burlesque club comic, here's a cleaned up sample of his 1950's act as half of a duo with Dave Starr, crammed full of corny vaudeville routines but funny none the less.
He shot to stardom on Nat Hiken's Sgt. Bilko as the imbecilic mess sergeant, Rupert Ritzik. His trademark phrase "Oooh, Oooh" sprang from an inability to remember his lines, he was stalling until the words finally came.
But sudden fame was like lighting a match to his flame, soon the unlikely TV star was gaining a reputation in town as a hard partier who was undependable on the set. His vivacious appetite for hookers, cigarettes, fatty foods, and booze were fueled by Hollywood's open embrace for that sort of behavior. He returned to the nightclubs when Bilko was cancelled in 1959.
Still, his charm was irresistable to the home audience so Nat Hiken cast him as one of the leads in his new series, Car 54, where Joe E. Ross proved even more difficult to control.
Car 54 was dropped after two terms and a few years later Joe E. Ross landed the show I first saw him on, It's About Time, which I loved as a 9 year old. The kooky combo of Joe E. Ross and Imogene Coca was hard to resist. Again his co-workers complained about his loutish behavior and that one season wonder was the comedian's last primetime series.
In the 1970s he was relegated to doing cartoon voices for Hanna-Barbera where he once again resurrected his "Ooh, Oooh" catch phrase to delight a new generation. Even that career was short-lived. He died in 1982 entertaining in an apartment complex clubhouse in Van Nuys, CA. You can read Joe E. Ross' cautionary tale here.

The St. Mary's Pirates started the season in the top five and expectations were extremely high.
On Saturday, they will play for their first state title since back-to-back runner-up finishes in 1979-80.
The Pirates (23-4) won a defensive struggle 31-19 over top-seeded Centauri (22-3) on Friday night at Moby Arena in the Class 3A girls basketball final four.
"We just knew we had to pick it up on defense," Pirates senior Gabi Florek said.
Florek and Maggie Hartman took turns at the top of St. Mary's' diamond-and-one zone that seem to confound the Falcons at times. Even when coach Dave Forster's team found open looks, the shots just didn't drop.
"Missed a lot of lay-ups and a lot of easy ones," said Forster, whose team scored just four second half points on 2-of-20 shooting. "And those are kids that have done that all year long."
Florek sparked the St. Mary's offensive "explosion" in the fourth quarter, scoring six of her game high 12 in the Pirates' 15-2 quarter.
Centauri's leading scorer Taylor Wilson never found her range at Moby during the first two days and finished with just six points. Tori Fringer also had six for the Falcons.
Holy Family 39, Denver Science & Tech 38.
The Tigers got a go-ahead lay up from Linsdey Chavez with just under a minute to play to send the Tigers back to the state title game.
Holy Family (21-5) will try and get revenge on St. Mary's in Saturday's championship game at 7:30 p.m.. The Pirates beat coach Ron Rossi's team 38-35 in the Tiger Tip-Off Tournament in December.
Denver SS&T (24-3) led by as much as six in the fourth quarter, getting big time contributions from unlikely sources. Reserve Angela Groves scored back-to-back baskets to start the fourth and had the Tigers on the ropes.
"They had some kids that played some minutes, that hadn't played before," said Rossi, who guided the Tigers to four straight title from 2008-11. "But I'm really proud of my girls, who were in big time foul trouble too, to keep fighting back and fighting back."
Jaelyyn Smith missed two free throws with 6.7 seconds left that would have gievn Denver SS&T the lead and her last second half court heave at the buzzer fell short. She finished with 14 points.
Chavez led the Tigers with 10 points.

Brewers Sign Sean Green
Green was not very good in 2010. Of course, he changed his delivery, injured himself and then struggled in his return, so who knows what he's truly capable of being next season. He probably would have been awarded the same money in 2011 that he earned in 2010, just under $1 million.
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, had Green been tendered a contract, he could have been cut during Spring Training and due just $160,000, so I am still sort of surprised the Mets non-tendered him in early December.

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
As per all the city passes, exceptional value.
3 great days in Barcelona. The Barcelona card was a great way to get around by hopping on and off the Metro whenever you want. Trains come in the most stations ever 3-4 minutes and so you can travel all over Barcelona quickly and easily .
The buildings and gardens are great.
Food good and cake shops fantastic. We loved our time and will go back when we can.
Excellent - underground faultless - timings/frequency first class.
This card is amazing. It saved us so much money on our 5 day trip to Barcelona and we managed to get around everywhere that we wanted with this card on the buses and the Metro. Also visited some amazing places with the discount booklet included. The 40 min free boat trip in Barcelona Harbor was great also with this card!
Transport was very easy. Sagrada familia was amazing. Thank you for helping us have a fantastic first visit to Barcelona.
Great value worth it.
This was an awesome thing to have during a visit to Barcelona. We used this to get from airport to the city. The unlimited use for public transportation is a must have. We were able to get all over the city with this card and visit most of the attractions with our 5-day pass. This made our trip fun and memorable!
Excellent option if you're in Barcelona for at least 2 days. Good option for pre or post cruise because includes public transportation. If you're only in Barcelona for 1 day, recommend hop on hop off bus.
Most of the stuff included in the card is okay depends if your a person that likes museums or not. The best part of the card would be the free boat ride and that you can use the the card for transportation to almost anywhere. The transportation costs are pretty high so totally worth it.
Worth every penny for the metro alone!
the best way to travel with public transport and spend money on museum etc..
Barcelona was a trip to remember! A lovely city with warm welcoming people, very laid back and relaxed, with wonderful food, markets, places to see and a stunning beach!
The Metro and bus system were easy to navigate, the tourist information staff were very helpful, but our only complaint was regarding the mainline train system. There were no maps, no information at stations and was very hard to navigate, only the help of the staff and local people made it possible.
Otherwise a very big thumbs up!
Easy to locate pickup at the airport - clear instructions on how and where to collect cad from. Friendly, helpful staff gave us directions to our hotel, which was 2 buses and a tube away - 6 Euros saved already!
Was able to use the card immediatly on transport to Hotel. Card also enabled us to some money off offers and some events were even free ( Boat trip, Chocolate museum - complete with complimentary bar chocolate). All transport easy to hop on and hop off - brilliant if you hop on the wrong bus. Transport air conditioned (not so the actual tube stations sadly) so was lovely to ride on in the searing heat of beautiful Barcelona. Thoroughly recommended
We had a fantastic break, and loved every minute of our trip
I totally recommend it. Life saver in Barcelona. It is the freedom pass and not worrying for money to pay on metro or busses. Also includes discounts for dinners, tours, museums, etc. anyone going to Barcelona should have one.
Philipp S
Did much more than the Madrid card! I really enjoyed it for both the use on busses and subway plus the go to the top of the line features.
The card was VERY convenient for riding the buses and the metro. I am so glad I bought it because we ended up rinding the metro more than I had anticipated. If I would've bought individual tickets I would've spent about $9.00 more than the pass cost me. By the way, Barcelona is AWESOME! It is simply "Off the Hook!" Barcelona is now my most favorite European city. I can't wait to go back for another visit to see a few things on my itenerary that I couldn't find enough time for. Next time I'll stay a week instead of four days.
The card is worth the free travel alone without all the additional discounts and freebies. Very easy to use too as widely recognised and all service providers are geared up for it. Excellent, thanks.
The card was worth every penny, must have saved us a fortune especially on the metro, we were able to get around the city quickly which was important as we only had a few days to explore. Do research before you go if short of time, and plan what you want to visit. The free boat trip around the harbour was a nice end to our trip, the card offers a number of free or discounted offers, we just didn't have enough time to utilise them all.
FANTASTIC! Barcelona was what i expected and more. The card was very useful and was used several times for activities such as las golandrinas and nou camp! the metro card is an essential! unlimited travel around the city! would certainly recommend!
Extremely convenient and money saver, it comes with lots of free great activities and several discounts. The card is very easy to use, you can collect it from various points which is great and the booklet is very helpful. Definitely a must for those who plan to visit Barcelona!
It was awesome
Super trip, great weather and great tours! Beautiful place and would definitely come again
Azizi A
The card allows you to use public transport for unlimited travel. Good value for money.
Fantastic trip!!! Will be recommend to everyone.

Will Smart Add ever be added to Todoist?
Will Smart Add ever be added to Todoist?
RTM has it and it really makes for quick new task creation: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/?ctx=basics.smartadd.whatis
I understand that you could TAB from field to field to enter date and projects while the main task entry field can accept labels, priority and reminder but this is still more action than is needed.
It would be great if there was just one text field and you could enter all the information there. It is already supported for tasks that are created via email, I'm surprised it is not there for other platforms.
All responses
Hi Tariq,
Thank you for your feedback. We will consider adding this in the future. For the meantime, feel free to add it in the Votebox https://todoist.com/Vote/.
Best Regards,

Christian metal band from L.A. They originally started out as Fusion, back in 1982. They changed their name to Gardian, and released a demo. Soon they got signed to a major label, and the name changed to Guardian. Released a couple of metal records before changing style to a more rock/AOR direction. They have also released a bunch of albums with Portuguese lyrics. Similar to bands like Mass, Tempest, Stryper a.o.
Paul Cawley - Lead Vocals, Guitar
Tony Palacios - Lead Guitar, Vocals
David Bach - Bass, Vocals
Rikk Hart - Drums
Aaahh, this record is from the days when white metal ruled!! Back then the Christian bands were just as good as the secular ones. 'First Watch' is an excellent melodic metal disc. Great hooks and great melodies. Produced by Stryper's Oz Fox, these guys set out to be the next big Christian metal band. They were signed to the same label as Stryper and Barren Cross (Enigma), and had all the right things going for them. It's a mystery to me why this band never got more attention in the secular scene.
Killer tracks: Mystery Man, Miracle, Saints Battalion, Hyperdrive, Marching On

Tony Palacios - Guitar and Vocals

Guardian made a few changes in the line-up, and released their second effort. The biggest change was the arrival of new vocalist Jamie Rowe (ex-Tempest), who brought a rougher sound to Guardian. It's hard to describe, but with producers John and Dino Elefante (from Mastedon and owners of Pakaderm) Guardian got a more commercial sound. The band sound more hard-rock oriented, than melodic metal, but still with a more polished sound. I like this album, but prefer 'First Watch'. Maybe it's nostalgia? The thing is, that while the album is evenly good throughout the whole record, there are no songs that make me go: "WOW!!". Still, it's an excellent album, which ought to go down well with any pop-metal/hair-metal/hard-rock/metal lover!
Killer tracks: None of them stick out, but all are very good songs!
Jamie Rowe - Lead Vocals
Tony Palacios - Guitar and Vocals
David Bach - Bass and Vocals
Karl Ney - Drums and Vocals
Guardian's 3rd release, picks up where the second one left off. They go even further away from their metal roots, but it's still a very good melodic hard-rock album. Try to picture a cross between Mötley Crüe and Guns n' Roses, and add a little boogie or funk. The Elefante brothers have produced this one as well, and these 2 albums (the previous one and this) sound very much alike.
Killer tracks: I Found Love, Sweet Mystery
Jamie Rowe - Lead Vocals
Tony Palacios - Guitar and Vocals

And then the s**t hit the fan! Crap all over the place!!!!!! Sorry for the bad language, but this just stinks! I thought this was a bit more to my liking, being the middle album between one I like, and one that starts off OK. But there is only one OK track on this album. After listening to the whole album I can't even remember what song it was. I don't think I'll bother to listen to it again to find it out either. At least not in a while. Now I can see why this band never took the step into the secular mainstream, they just aren't good enough!
August, 2010: Yeah, I really hated this album when I first bought it. Perhaps I've become more tolerant over the years, or maybe we can chalk it up to growing up, but when I listen to this album today, I can't understand the total hate I used to have for it. Sure, this is a total change in style, and the band should quite frankly have changed their name after 'Miracle Mile', but that doesn't make this a bad record nonetheless. It's just totally different from what we'd hoped for after 3 solid hard rock/metal albums.
Musically Guardian totally tones it down here. This is semi-acoustic rock music, and I guess this was the latest trend in the CCM scene back in 1994. What makes this album worth wile though, is the excellent musicianship and songwriting. Jamie and Tony are the stars here, both perhaps delivering their career best. It's refreshing to hear a band whom clearly doesn't take themselves too seriously, and just sets out to have fun, and record what they feel like, instead of doin' what is expected from them. And fun is what they must have had when they recorded the New Orleans jazzy, "Preacher And The Bear"! I also love how the bands Christian stance really shines in all of the lyrics.
Now, this will never be a personal favorite of mine. But it might get a lot more play now that I don't have all the animosity towards it any longer. Thanks to Arttie for getting me this disc.
Killer tracks: C'mon Everyone, Like The Sun, See You In Heaven, Let The Whole World, Still On My Mind
Jamie Rowe - Lead Vocals
Tony Palacios - Guitar and Vocals

Karl Ney - Drums and Vocals
Now this band have really changed style. The metal is all gone, and we get a melodic rock album. It's their 5th album, and the line-up is still consistent. I actually were a bit surprised at first, because the first songs are pretty good. Not as good as anything released prior to it, but still some decent songs. But after 4 songs, it all goes downhill. It gets boring, as every song sounds the same. So all in all, not their worst, but not at all their best. "Lead The Way" is an awesome tune. Worse things were to follow, though, so read on!
A cool thing about this disc, is the cover. It folds out, and you can actually choose one of 4 pictures to be the main-cover, depending on how you fold it back. All the pictures show something that is linked to the title.
Killer tracks: Lead The Way, The Lions Den
This is an interesting compilation album. It is sort of a best-of pre-Jamie Rowe era Guardian release. Included are 6 tracks from their first album, 2 tracks from the 'California Metal' compilation, 1 demo track, and 1 track from the old days when the band was called Fusion. Combined with liner-notes by founding member David Bach, and vintage footage, this CD is actually rather entertaining. It's a riot seeing photos from the bands early days, with stage costumes that remind me of the Power Rangers!! Space metal indeed!
Jamie Rowe - Vocals
Tony Palacios - Guitar

This is actually the crappiest album I own! Nothing reminds me of the Guardian I knew from the late 80's. It's only a bad attempt to sound like the pick-of-the-month rock group that year. The only reason I hold on to it is that I'm a maniac collector, and the fact that it only cost me about $1. Stay clear of it!! The only positive thing about it, is that the line-up is consistent!
Killer tracks: ???!!!

After releasing some really terrible albums, Guardian suddenly gets a brilliant idea. They decide to re-record the classic debut mini-album from Stryper, originally called 'The Yellow And Black Attack'. Everything from the cover-art to the funny band-photo on the back of the trey-card, is done as a tribute to the best known white metal band ever. And what a covers album this has become! All of the songs are done justice, and I had to put the original Stryper album on right after hearing 'The Yellow And Black Attack Is Back' for the first time, just to compare. Sure it isn't Michael's smooth vocals here, but Jamie is really doing a good job. And Tony Palacios does a great job on the six-stringer as well. All in all I find this to be one of Guardian's best moment, and one heck of a killer tribute album!

Another collection of pre-album material from our favorite space metal band. All of the tracks on this M8 compilation are from when the band was called either Fusion or Gardian. So expect no well-produced material. This is of course a curiosity for the fans rather then anything to use to check this band out. I find the album quite entertaining, and I certainly prefer this to the latter albums of modern rock that these guys have released. I just wish that the liner notes provided would be a little more specific as to where these tracks were picked from. It would also have been nice if the tracks were in chronological order. All we get to know now is that some of the songs are from the 1984 six song EP entitled 'Rock In Victory', recorded when they were known as Fusion. But we don't know how many songs are here from that release. We also get to know that other tracks are from the 1987 release called 'Voyager', but again no mention of how many tracks, or which tracks they are. One interesting thing is that the never before release song "I Am Here" features Tony Palacios on vocals! Also worth noticing is that some of the songs that eventually ended up on their 'First Watch' album, are featured here in other versions. Just check out "Miracle Of The Galaxy" (later renamed "Miracle"). The lyrics are pretty different.

'80's Metal Retro Night' was the theme for this Cornerstone event. The idea was to bring some of the biggest names from the 80's Christian metal scene back on stage for one night of nostalgia and a good time. So I think people were hoping for a full-on retro night. But one of the bands that didn't deliver just that was Guardian. The fact that their first album got totally ignored, and the fact that they played stuff like "Bottle Rocket", was more than a little disappointing. But that said, this is still a decent live recording that represents the band Guardian well. The sound is decent, and the band sounds alive. The song selection is not all bad, with at least some of my favorite songs included. I also renewed my interest in a song like "Psychedelic Runaway". Still, my favorites on this CD are the ballads "The Rain" and "Never Say Good Bye".

The Fredrick Guess Studio
In 1997, Fredrick Guess made New Orleans his permanent home. He moved into the French Quarter and with a friend opened an antique store. In this store, he hung some of his work. Not much more than a year later, he closed the antique store completely and he and his partner relocated across the street and opened Galerie Louisiane, naming it in honor of his new home.
An instant success, the gallery was renamed the Fredrick Guess Studio. Since then, his popularity has grown with both locals and visitors. Many have begun collecting his work and it now hangs in collections around the world including countries like France, England, Germany, Japan, Australia and Canada.
The building in which The Fredrick Guess Studio is located has a rich history, as rich as any other in the French Quarter. It was the home of the first American Princess of Monaco, and that was not Grace Kelly.
The Fredrick Guess studio/gallery offers fine oil paintings of New Orleans and Louisiana's Bayou Country.

Heat Vision has posted a list of seven actors believed to be screen testing this week and next for The First Avenger: Captain America. They are Michael Cassidy (Smallville), Patrick Flueger (The 4400), Mike Vogel (She's Out of My League), Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights), Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl), Garret Hedlund (Tron Legacy), and Jim "John Krasinski" from The Office.
Okay, but who are the real choices? What? These are them? THESE are them?? These guys. Okay. Well, silly me. I thought you'd cast someone who could carry the film and it's eventual Avengers spin-off. That's my bad. Far be it from me to tell the director of The Wolfman and Jurassic Park III what he should do differently. (THR)
