I know I promised to share Week 12 last week but as usuall life has gotten in the way. I was really keen to share this week because as you can see there is only TWO photos. It wasn't until I got to Sunday of that week that I realised I had not taken one photo, yep, not one which can I just say is very rare for me. I very quickly snapped off two photos on the Sunday.
As I sat in my craft room on that Sunday night I as very worried as to how I was going to document our week.
You may remember a few months back one of our label crew projects was a 2012 note book. I have been using that notebook to jot down notes etc for each week just so I don't forget stuff (forgetting stuff is a very regular thing for me). I started flicking through my little notebook and realised that I had a heap of stuff to document our week it just wasn't going to include photos.
here is the left hand side. I used some digital stuff here from "kitty designs" called "Picture This" which I purchased over at Oscraps. I Loved the polaroid frames and the iphone which was just perfect for recording a text message.
Here is the right hand side that includes my only two photos for a whole week.
It also includes a picture that my son drew to try explain what happens to his eyes when he reads. Shortly after that he got glasses.
When I stood back at looked at week 12 I was actually really happy with it. Each time I look at it I grow fonder of it and I think its because of all the words, its a nice change from lots photo's.
If you are doing project life... how is it all going.
Love me :-)

Undersell: To sell (something) at a price less than the actual value.
A few posts ago I mentioned having a copycat. And while the fact that she copies me and others bothers me greatly, what bothers me more is that she drastically undersells. How do I know she is underselling? Easy, her products are similar to mine and friends of mine who sell on Etsy. I know what they cost to make and I know that we all have the same fees and dues to pay and the ridiculously low prices that the CC sells them at hurt us all.
Consider this a little FYI for Etsy buyers only, who may not understand why they shouldn't jump on the cheapest deal.
Many of us on Etsy use our Etsy bucks (AKA money earned from sales on Etsy) for real needs in our lives. For example, I am a full time stay at home mom. Other than my son, wife, home duties...Etsy is my job. Since my husband does very well at paying all of our "real" bills I use my Etsy bucks for surprise bills, treats, supplies and extras. Amazingly (aka "Thanks God") there are always enough Etsy bucks for the need that arises. Still others depend on Etsy bucks for the "real" bills...gas, water, electric, etc. What does this have to do with underselling?
When people undersell at ridiculously low prices it makes it almost impossible for anyone to make a profit because the average buyer is not going to think "Hmm this seller is way underpricing...I bet this hurts other sellers who use Etsy as a source of income...I am going to go buy from a seller who has prices within the normal range"...nope, they don't think like that...they buy they cheap item and think what a great deal they got. I don't blame them....I have shopped at Wal-mart... (however much less since viewing a documentary on how Wal-mart has forced many companies out of business because of their push for the LOWEST price).
Underselling aka selling at 50% or less of what you should be selling it for does lots of damage...This could FORCE those selling for profit (imagine that!) to lower their prices (even if the price is really fair to begin with )to the point of hurting themselves...possibly forcing them out of business. But the normal sellers are forced to compete with the under seller who apparently doesn't care to make a profit, only to make a sale.
This is NOT about me or other sellers being greedy and wanting to jack up prices...I am not talking about overpricing, I am talking about pricing things at a reasonable price...a competitive price and giving a crap about what you are doing to the hundreds of Etsy sellers who are living their dream (like me) of making a wage from something they love.
(steps off of soapbox).

TCM tribute — silents, please!
The films featured on Turner Classic Movies' Tribute to George Eastman House (December 14) span nearly fifty years, from the Teens to the Sixties, illustrating just how diverse the motion picture collections are at the museum. Our preservation efforts have been ongoing nearly since we opened, starting with BEN-HUR in 1950 and continuing today. We're very pleased that TCM has recognized our legacy of hard work and is assisting us in our ultimate goal of making these films available to our audience. In the upcoming days, I'd like to take some time to tell you a little about each of the titles airing on TCM and let you look behind-the-scenes at a working motion picture archive.
The first film playing in the salute to George Eastman House is the 1989 restoration of the 1918 version of THE BLUE BIRD. The film was based on the play L'Oiseau Bleu by Maurice Maeterlinck and produced by Famous Players-Lasky, which later became the modern Paramount Pictures. It was one of the American films of French director Maurice Tourneur, whose career shifted back to France at the end of the silent period. Tourneur is likely best known as the director of the Mary Pickford films POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL (1917) and PRIDE OF THE CLAN (1917), the first feature-length adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1920), as well as producing Jacques Tourneur, the director of OUT OF THE PAST (1947) and CAT PEOPLE (1942). The preservation began with a 35mm nitrate positive loaded with beautiful color tints that add to the fantastical feel of the film. We printed new negatives and made sure that the color remained in the new prints that were reconstructed from multiple sources. The results are gorgeous, and the score by Mont Alto Orchestra complements the images. This will be a TCM premiere, but if you like it, you can buy this version on DVD from Kino. Airs at 6:15 a.m.
William Desmond Taylor's HUCKLEBERRY FINN (1920) was the first adaptation of Mark Twain's seminal American classic, and the last in a loose trilogy of Twain films directed by Taylor. Taylor may be best-known now for his notorious murder and the careers it ruined, but he was quite a prolific director in his own right. Much was made of the 2009 premiere of this film at GEH, and it has shown in San Francisco, Chicago and Pittsburgh since then. Again, we worked from a tinted nitrate positive, but this print had Danish intertitles (the words on the screen in between the action), which made it difficult to understand. We asked one of our Selznick graduates, Ulrich Ruedel, to do a rough translation of the intertitles, then Anthony L'Abbate, our Preservation Officer, took these translations and adjusted the language to that of the Twenties, and used Twain's original text for much of the dialogue. In order to re-construct the titles, Anthony used the 1920 version of DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE as a template for typeface, background and spacing. One of the best uses of tinting in the film is the scene in which Huck, attempting to steal some butter, hides it under his hat. Seated near a fireplace, Huck and the butter both heat up, the butter dripping through his hair and down his face. All of these shots of Huck are tinted red, visually supporting the heat and nerves that he is experiencing. A brand-new score by Mont Alto Orchestra was commissioned for this screening. Airs at 9:15 p.m.
ROARING RAILS (1924) is another recent restoration similar to HUCKLEBERRY FINN. A tinted nitrate was the basis of the preservation, but it had Dutch subtitles. We asked another Selznick graduate, Elisa Mutsaers, to do a rough Dutch-to-English translation, and Anthony worked his magic again, utilizing resources from our Paper, Poster and Stills Collection to re-create the PDC (Producers Distributing Corporation) logo for the new intertitles. ROARING RAILS is what Variety would call a "meller," industry for "melodrama." In a very large nutshell, "Big Bill" Benson is a World War I veteran who adopts a French war orphan and struggles through poverty upon losing his job as a train engineer. Moving West, he finds another job, but his son is blinded in a sabotage attempt. Not having any money, he takes the blame for a murder he didn't commit to save a rich man's son who has promised to pay for the operation his son needs. "Big Bill" is played by Harry Carey, a veteran of over 200 films, many of them Westerns, 29 with John Ford. He is also the father of Harry Carey, Jr., himself a veteran of 150 films. World-renowned accompanist Dr. Philip Carli, a Rochester resident and frequent Dryden Theatre collaborator, recorded an all-new score for this film on the Moller organ at the Capitol Theatre in Rome, NY. Airs at 1:15 a.m.
A PAGE OF MADNESS (KURUTTA IPPEIJI, 1926) is the only foreign film in the tribute. The story of a man who takes a job at an insane asylum to be near his wife, who is a patient, and how their daughter's engagement affects the family, is told with no dialogue, only images and a percussive score that drives the action as well as underlines the cacophony of confusion that threatens to tear the woman apart. The film's director Teinosuke Kinugasa is not as well-known in this country as his contemporaries Yasujiro Ozu and Kenji Mizoguchi, but directed over 100 features in his native Japan, including JUJIRO (CROSSROADS, 1928), JOYU (THE ACTRESS, 1947) and JIGOKUMON (GATE OF HELL, 1954), which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. This film was originally preserved in the 1970s from an acetate 35mm positive, and then revisited in 2001 with a re-recorded score. Airs at 3 p.m.
These are just some of the films that will be broadcast during the tribute, and, hopefully, some you'll be looking out for. I'll tackle the changeover period between silent and sound films in my next piece. But as a special behind-the-scenes bonus, I'll leave you with this: all the films mentioned in this article are held by George Eastman House!
Jared Case is the Head of Collection Information and Access for the Motion Picture Department and one of the most popular instructors at the L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation. He graduated from the school himself in 2002 and has been with George Eastman House ever since. He is a film noir aficionado and can be found at film festivals, mystery conventions and noir conferences around the country.

LONDON (AP) — The grace and glamour of Italian fashion are on display in London – and the attitude, too.
Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were guests at the launch of "The Glamour of Italian Fashion," a new exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
The duo behind Dolce & Gabbana praised Britain's "cool" style and designers like Vivienne Westwood, but were less enthusiastic about Victoria Beckham. Gabbana said the former Spice Girl had turned to fashion after doing "many, many, many different things."
He added "she's a designer but … for us, she don't make (clothes) the same way like a fashion designer."
The exhibition, which opens Saturday, traces Italian style from the 1940s to the present day. It features designs from fashion houses including Armani, Prada, Gucci, Valentino and Versace.

New life for fallen trees
It's been just over 50 days since the last winter storm, so we've re-visited some of our places to find out how they've used the trees that were lost across woodland, parkland and gardens.
Dunstable Downs, Whipsnade Estate
Jon Powell, countryside manager for Dunstable Downs, said: 'Our major tree losses were during the St Jude storm in October when we lost a couple of old beeches.
'We took the smallest branches to Whipsnade Zoo for their rhinos' food, who seemed very grateful. Larger pieces have been used to create a new 'scramble' in the chute wood playscape, the stump has been left to create a deadwood habitat and other bigger branches from a damaged oak have been used to create informal benches.
'After all that, any timber that we have left over will be converted in to fire wood for our office.'
Charlecote Park
Lisa Topham, our park and garden manager at Charlecote Park, told us how they are using the seven trees that were lost across the estate: 'As well as the trees that fell, another six required emergency work. We've already totted up a bill of £6,000 and there is still more work to be done.
'One of the oaks we lost is now a climbing tree, which is great for kids looking to tick off the first activity on their list of 50 Things. We have also managed to salvage some nice bits of wood from another tree, which will be made in to stepping logs for children to climb.
'Finally, a lovely visitor has taken some of the wood from an old cedar tree, which was reputed to have been planted by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. He is drying the wood and will be making it into simple candle holders for us to sell over Easter. We will be using some of the money from the funds this raises to pay for new sports equipment boxes in the park.'
Osterley Park
Lead ranger at Osterley Park and House, Jeremy Dalton, said: 'We are leaving some of the trunks untouched in order to create habitats, including some mature oaks that we lost. We are also building habitat piles from the branches.
'Where we are unable to leave the trees in place, they are being cut for firewood and sold in our car park. We are also making additional features in our popular natural play trail. Some large pieces of the trees that need moving are being saved to create habitat in other suitable locations.'
Black Down
Dave Elliot, head ranger at Black Down, said: 'We mostly only clear fallen trees when they are over roads, paths or neighbouring properties, those that fall in the woods stay for habitat value.
'We do use timber across the estate for various purposes though, and try wherever possible to use our own sustainably produced home grown wood.
'We need some timber for a natural play trail we are building as well as for our new Orchard House; a roundwood cruck-framed barn and workshop space we are aiming to build at Swan Barn Farm this year. This will house our apple and orchard based activities and events.'
To find out about the team's progress, why not check out their blog.
At Harewoods in the Surrey Hills, 200 conifer trees were lost from this winter's storms.
The trees were originally planted as part of a broadleaf oak and conifer plantation in order to encourage the growth of the oak trees. A combination of the saturated soil from the winter storms and a series of tornadoes across Surrey in January caused 90% of the conifers to fall at the beginning of this year.
Mark Richards, head ranger on the Surrey Hills, said: 'With such a large number of trees lost, there is a huge amount of work needed to clear the area. In the next couple of weeks, however, we will have finished clearing a main ride through the woodland returning public access to the area.
'The rest of the trees will be left in situ until at least after the birding season in September. The way that the conifers fell, in a mix of directions creating a criss-cross of branches, means that they are providing a fantastic habitat for ground-nesting birds, including pheasants and grey partridges.
'Long-term we are still deciding what will happen. We will either let it naturally regenerate or consider carrying out replanting in some of the larger open areas with native broadleaf species.'
Head ranger on the Trelissick Estate, Neil Stevenson, said: 'Like many parts of the South West, the Trelissick estate sustained considerable damage during this winter's stormy weather. We lost a lot of trees, including several veterans in the park and woodland.
'We've always used wood and timber from the estate and wind-blown trees of certain species can be utilised for this reason. However there are a lot of considerations such as timber quality, accessibility and conservation value that we have to take into account.
'Turkey and Holm oak are large, impressive trees, but the timber quality is very poor. We tend to leave these oaks within the woodlands where the greatest benefit can be gained by allowing them to rot and provide a wildlife habitat for many species.
'Sessile oak, which predominates in the woodland at Trelissick, on the other hand, can produce fantastic timber which is used in the boat building yards around the Fal. These timbers are ideal for restoration projects and invaluable for the upkeep of traditional boats.
'Lime wood is a fabulous timber for carving. We try to retain as much wood from parkland trees as possible on-site as the conservation value is our top priority, but we are able to take out portions of the lime which are sold to local wood turners and carvers.'

FIVEMILE CREEK (DeWitt County). Fivemile Creek, formerly known as Five-Mile Coleto Creek, rises three miles southeast of Blackwell Lake in central DeWitt County (at 29°02' N, 97°23' W) and runs southeast for seven miles to its mouth on Twelvemile Creek (formerly Twelve-Mile Coleto Creek), two miles east of Meyersville (at 28°56' N, 97°16' W). It traverses an area of low-rolling hills and prairies surfaced by moderately to highly expansive clay soil that supports prairie grasses and some mesquite. The creek was named in 1850, when the DeWitt county seat was located in Clinton. The five-mile designation signified the distance from the creek's headwaters to the courthouse door.

BCCI promises zero cover-up on Dhoni issue
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Working Committee Sunday said that there would be no cover up in the probe into alleged conflict of interests issue between players and sports management and followed it up with a guideline that will henceforth guide cricketers involved in such activities, thus in effect extending a long rope to skipper M S Dhoni.
"I had said nothing will be swept under the carpet, even if it is Dhoni," Dalmiya said after the Board's Working committee meeting here and added "a lot of hue and cry had been created regarding M S Dhoni's involvement in a sports management company. But instead of harassing the players, the BCCI has taken some concrete steps."
"So in the best interests of the players, BCCI has decided to ask the players to declare their interests in Sports Management companies. If BCCI feels they are taking any wrong step then they intervene and help them rectify. Besides this, they have also drawn up a guideline to form the basic modus operandi for the players," he said.
Dhoni found himself in the middle of a controversy when it came to light that he had 15 per cent stake in Rhiti Sports, which also manages Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Pragyan Ojha, apart from him.
Regarding Pradip Sangwan's case on doping charges, he said that BCCI will follow the Anti-doping Code of the body. The WC however failed to resolve the tours and itinerary for New Zealand and South Africa and said that it will also have to take into consideration Asian cricket council engagements and host of other obligations before taking a final decision on the tour.
Quizzed on who will chair the IPL Governing Council meeting as Rajiv Shukla had resigned, he added: "He had resigned and it had not been accepted. So he will chair the meeting."
Regarding the BCCI's anti-corruption unit chief Ravi Sawani's report on the three tainted IPL cricketers from Rajasthan Royals, Dalmiya said that the report was incomplete as Ajit Chandila was still in judicial custody and hence he could not be interrogated.
Sawani is apparently on a holiday and will return after 10-days following which the case will be taken up.
The IPL was dealt a massive blow when a special cell of the Delhi police arrested India pacer S Sreesanth and his Rajasthan Royals teammates âEuro" Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan âEuro"for indulging in spot-fixing in at least three IPL matches as per arrangements with bookies who have underworld connections abroad.

There was a shooting scare at the University of Oklahoma on Wednesday, but the university has now said that there was no evidence of a shooting. Classes have resumed after being shut down for a short time.
The school tweeted that there had been a shooting and advised students and faculty to avoid Gould Hall. "Seek immediate shelter in place," the school said. However, the lockdown was lifted moments later.
"Normal campus operations have resumed except for Gould Hall where additional checking is continuing. No new information at this time," the school said in a tweet.
According to ABC News, President David L. Boren told the media that the school was put under lockdown at 12:30 p.m. because people thought they heard gunshots near Gould Hall. That building was later searched, but police and a SWAT team found no bullet casings or anyone who could have been the shooter. There were also no witness reports of seeing a shooter.
"We have found at this time no evidence that shots were fired," Boren said during the press conference, reports The Oklahoma Daily.
"We can never take these kind of reports lightly. The faculty member did exactly the right thing, they informed police immediately, that's exactly what should be done," Boren said, notes ABC News. "Our system worked. We are just thankful that no one was injured at all."
The school just tweeted that classes at Gould Hall can resume and that university operations will continue as normal.
The report came a day after a shooting at Purdue, during which one student died.

Half a century since Stourbridge amateur society staged The King and I
Posted: January 21, 2014|
THE Black Country has long enjoyed a high reputation for amateur theatre, with a number of groups treading the boards for over 100 years.
One of the oldest groups in the region is the Stourbridge Amateur Operatic Society, founded in 1909. Since then, with interludes for the two world wars, the society has staged an annual show but we go back 50 years to their 1964 production of The King and I.
Thanks to an anonymous reader who has given us a copy of the show's programme, we can share with you these pictures of the cast.
The King and I, by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II was based upon the book Anna and the King of Siam by Mary Landon, which told the story of English governess Anna Leonowens and King Mongkut of Siam in the 1860s. It was first staged in 1951 with Gertrude Lawrence and Yul Brynner in the lead roles.
For the SAOS 1964 production the cast was as follows:
John Payne (Captain Orton), Peter Brooks (Louis Leonowens), Megan Cooper (Anna Leonowens), John Smith (the Interpreter), Nelson Quayle (the Kralahome), Robert Barclay (the King), David Wright (Phra Alack), Avril Bowen (Tuptim), Deidrie Cooper (Lady Thiang), Gordon Barclay (Prince Chulalongkorn), Gail Aston and Carole Ogrins (Princess Ying Yaowalak), Gordon Thomas (Uncle Thomas), Mary Allport (Topsy), Laura Westwood (Little Eva), Thelma Hill (Eliza), David L. Howard (King Simon of Legree), Janet Chalcraft (Angel), Fred Bristow (Buddha), Michael Bowen and Albert George (Band).
The main characters were supported by Rachel Hopkins, Virginia Moore, Brenda Payne, Nancy Payton, Angela Slimm, Dianne Thornhill, Ted Baugh, Tom Brooks, David Hopkins, John Payne, Fred Shaw, John Smith, Neil Thomas and David Wright (Royal Dancers).
Elsie Adey, Gwen Barnett, Sylvia Davenport, Edith Dunn, Sybil Genner, Dora Hartley, Valerie Holloway, Jean Howard, Rosemary Kirton, Brenda Payne, Marjorie Perry, Hilda Shaw, Catherine Smith, Sylvia Thomas, Pauline Tildesley and Joy Tipper (Wives).
Christopher Brown, Pamela Hunt, Jane Laight, Susan Marshall, Robert Parker, Jacqueline Roper, Alison Russell, David Southall, Martin Southall, Joanna Sproson, Nicholas Sproson, Stephen Allen, Nicholas Dunn, Ian Harper, Jose Miller, Jayne Mole, Nicholas Morgan, Susan Morris, Anne Ogrins, Elizabeth Payton, Phillippa Tchahariwskij, Stephanie Tchahariwskij, Linda Thatcher and Fiona Thornhill (Princes and Princessess).
Brenda Bash, Sheila Jones, Beryl Mole and Gertrude Perry (Amazons) and Neville Bastable, Tom Brooks, Albert George, John Payne, John Smith, Neil Thomas and David Wright (Priests, Guards and Slaves).
The show was produced by Malcolm Wright, the musical director was Bernard Dunn and choreography was by Edith Dunn.
Also working behind the scenes were Tom Jones (House Manager), Sam Thompson (Assistant House Manager), Brenda Smith (Property Mistress), Gwyn Williams (Accompanist), Cyril Vance (Assistant Musical Director), Joan Makin (Call Boy), Iris Southall (Prompter), Peter Tildesley (Assistant Stage Manager), Roger Seabury (Electrician), Mary Beech and Grace Clemson (Wardrobe), Marian Evans (Box Office), and Jennie Trewhitt (Programme Sales Supervisor).
Have you any memories of the show? Did you take part or did you go and see it at Stourbridge Town Hall? Have you programmes or pictures from any other Black Country theatre group? Contact email@example.com or write to the usual address.

Buy larger ones that will hold the tea light without the flame coming close to the rim of the opening.
Another idea is those little sugar pie ones. Those you can carve a real JOL out of, but again they have tough hides so be careful. They will last a lot longer than regular JOL's though, because they are so dense.
Here's one from a couple of years back.

I think that would make a good decoration, you'd have to put a hole in the buttom.
I kind of got the idea from Nevermore when he said he used Christmas lights for his pumpkins, I think the little ones could be lined up and lit up with the lights. Maybe have them leading to the big flickering pumpkin that's traditionally used.

Bare Escentuals Classic Rock and Pure Platinum Sets
You may recall that the Muse's wish list was updated with the Bare Escentuals Classic Rock Collection!
Bare Escentuals Classic Rock Collection
Now she happened to wander onto Nordstrom's site a few weeks back and came across the Pure Platinum collection! Oh my! Diamonds, Diamonds, and more Diamonds!
Bare Escentuals Pure Platinum Collection A Nordstrom Exclusive
I was having quite a difficult time deciding between the two sets as they looked identical to each other but I'm happy to report (Thanks to the Muse's friend and reader, Betsy) the two sets are very different!
Betsy's been so kind as to share images from both her collections and we can see the difference between the two!
These images are taken by Betsy's and you can see the gossamer powder that comes with these are vastly different! On the left hand side the Classic Rock gossamer powder comes in a white shimmering powder and on the right hand side you can see the Precious Platinum gossamer powder is a silver shimmering powder! Above the powders you can see the beautifully luminous lashes overcoat and mascara. This is a dual ended mascara that has black mascara on one side and the other side has the overcoat. You can see in the photos that the overcoat is completely different as well! One is white and one is silver!
Below are images of the shadows, glimmers, and blushes included in the kit! As you can see these are completely different colors as well!
The good news is that the sets are utterly different and gorgeous! I had originally wanted the Classic Rock Collection and when I seen the Pure Platinum that was on my list but I was somewhat confused if it was the same collection! I'm now utterly adding the Pure Platinum Collection to my wish list!
Thanks so much to Betsy for clearing this up, sharing her photos, and making the Muse's wallet scream in pain!
If you'll looking for a perfect Holiday set to make you glamorous and gorgeous these two would be it! Each Kit is $59 and has an array of delicious goodies to keep you happy all season long! Betsy also informs the Muse that the brushes have pretty little rhinestones/diamonds embedded in the handles!
10/25/07 1:02 rocketqueen:
Ooooh, how sweet are those! The rhinestone handles sounds sweet… The gossamers are beau-uutiful! So are the shadows…I wouldn't be too mad if they came knocking on my door!
10/25/07 7:50 the Muse:
I wouldn't mind these either
Totally on my wish list 😉

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Jun 29, 2011
LAST UPDATED: 2:23 p.m. HST, Aug 5, 2011
The lead editorial in the Star- Advertiser on Sunday implored: "Mend fences and make Makaha land gift work" (Our View, June 26).
We appreciate your support of the learning community that Kamehameha Schools envisions on land offered by developer Jeff Stone. However, the editorial includes statements that are incorrect and out of date, serving to confuse your readers.
On June 7, Kamehameha Schools communicated to Mr. Stone that we are ready to sign an agreement accepting his generous gift of 67 acres of Makaha Valley land, containing the same stipulations that all parties agreed to in March 2010: KS would name the learning center after the Stone family; KS commits to a spending floor of $10 million over five years or $25 million over 10 years; and the land use will be restricted to activities that fulfill our educational mission. The only difference between this agreement and the agreement reached in March 2010 was to address that KS lands would be deeded over without the accompanying transfer of 230 acres to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, in return for Mr. Stone's receipt of affordable housing credits.
Your editorial incorrectly suggests that KS is pursuing an "Option B" that contemplates a purchase of all 300 acres of Makaha Valley lands. As we explained to the Star-Advertiser last week, at some point during the protracted negotiation with Mr. Stone, we discussed the possibility of a land purchase as a way to move forward with planning and build-out for the learning center. We shared that this option was discussed and discarded months ago, but the article did not reflect any of that context. Your editorial perpetuates that inaccuracy. To be clear: "Option B" is not part of the current discussion.
Kamehameha Schools' commitment to and vision for the Leeward Coast has not changed. The Ka Pua initiative — which is much broader and more important than a single piece of property — was developed and articulated prior to the Makaha proposal, born out of a long-standing effort to broaden our reach to the significant Hawaiian community on the Leeward Coast. Long before Mr. Stone made his gift offer, KS was investigating potential learning center sites, and we have been working with the Waianae Coast community to determine the optimal plan for this facility.
Our commitment is to the children of the Waianae Coast, not to a specific location. We have been working with DHHL and look forward to continuing collaborations on behalf of our shared stakeholders, and we are confident that, should Mr. Stone feel it best to rescind his gift offer, our Ka Pua vision will continue unhampered.
Kekoa Paulsen is the director of community relations and communications for Kamehameha Schools.

José is preparing the publication of Iberian Military Politics: Controlling the Armed Forces during Dictatorship and Democratisation (2014, London: Palgrave Macmillan). This book analyses the policy instruments that governments used to control the military throughout Portuguese and Spanish dictatorships and transitions to democracy. It uses a large body of primary and secondary historical evidence and a public policy analytical angle. It applies a refined version of Christopher Hood's (1983) 'NATO' (nodality, authority, treasure and organisation) framework for the study of tools of government in order to identify trajectories and establish comparisons. This book shows that the tools of control differed considerably in both counties and evolved over time. It adopts a neo-institutional approach and explains the evolution of tool choice and civil-military relations in the peninsula by a combination of historical junctures (Spanish Civil War, Second World War, Cold War, Colonial Wars and transitional process) and environmental factors (ideas, political institutional structure and international actors).

[Spoken intro:] Good evening! One two. Yiii! Alright.
Well brunettes are fine man
And blondes are fun
But when it comes to getting the dirty job done
I'll take a red headed woman
A red headed woman
It takes a read headed woman
To get a dirty job done
Well listen up stud
Your life's been wasted
'Til you've got down on your knees and tasted
A red headed woman
A red headed woman
It takes a read headed woman
To get a dirty job done
Tight skirt, strawberry hair
Tell me what you've got baby, waiting under there
Big green eyes that look like sun
They can see every cheap thing that you ever done
Well I don't know how many girls you've dated, man
But you ain't lived till you've had your tires rotated
By a red headed woman
A red headed woman
It takes a read headed woman
To get a dirty job done
The above lyrics are for the live 22 Sep 1992 performance of RED HEADED WOMAN
at Warner Hollywood Studios (Stage #4) in Los Angeles, CA, during the taping of Springsteen's
episode of MTV Unplugged. The song was the opener of the night, and was the only
"unplugged" song of the show. It was released on the In Concert / MTV Plugged
home video in 1992 and the corresponding audio album the following year.
MTV Unplugged is a popular MTV series that began in the 1989/1990 TV
season and was first aired on 26 Nov 1989. Produced by Viacom and directed by Beth McCarthy, the
program showcases popular musicians primarily known for playing electric amplified instruments
(usually the electric guitar and electric bass) performing live using only acoustic
During a break in his World Tour 1992-1993, Bruce Springsteen was
booked on 22 Sep 1992 for the taping of an episode of MTV Unplugged. The taping took
place at Warner Hollywood Studios in Los Angeles, CA. Springsteen opened the show with a solo
acoustic RED HEADED WOMAN, but he then
brought his 1992-93 touring band onstage, and in a twist on the program's theme, put the plug back
in and played a full-band concert, through there were also stripped down renditions of
GROWIN' UP and
THUNDER ROAD. Reportedly Springsteen had
been unhappy with the touring band's rehearsals of acoustic arrangements, and this was what led
him to break the unplugged format.
22 Sep 1992 concert setlist:
Springsteen was the first to insist on an electric performance, and MTV
executives were reportedly furious at his decision to abandon the acoustic format of the show.
MTV Unplugged producer Alex Coletti told UK's Q magazine that "when you have
the chance to work with Bruce Springsteen, he can do what he wants.: To make best of the
situation, the "Un" was crossed out from "Unlugged", and the concert premiered on MTV on 11 Nov
1992 as MTV Plugged. The tracks that were broadcast on MTV are:
A VHS release of the show preceded any audio release, coming out on 15 Dec
1992. It was titled In Concert / MTV Plugged, with "Plugged" written as
"UnPlugged" on the cover art. The concert was not released in its complete form,
but the home video release included the complete broadcast in addition to two bonus tracks, LIVING
PROOF and IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND.
In Concert / MTV Plugged was also released on LaserDisc on 31 Jan 1993, which included
all the tracks found on the VHS release, in addition to a third bonus track, ROLL OF THE DICE.
The audio live album of the same title was released in Europe (CD and double
disc vinyl) on 12 Apr 1993 to promote the 1993 European (and final) leg of World Tour
1992-1993. It was not released in the United States until 26 Aug 1997. The album contained
only 13 tracks, two of which were not part of the broadcast:
IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND (which was
not even released on video) and LIVING PROOF.
In Concert / MTV Plugged was reissued on DVD on 09 Nov 2004. The DVD
issue includes all 19 tracks found on the LaserDisc release.

Mission Definition consists of those actions taken to define the mission for a system and the environment that affects its execution. The mission statement must define the existing condition that justifies the program or project need, the desired end state or product(s), and the performance expectation. In short, the resulting mission statement defines, in broad terms, what the program or project expects to accomplish. It is typically the first highly reviewed and broadly distributed description of the envisioned system and its desired outcome(s). Consequently, it is used to build agreement between different elements of the customer set and to provide alignment between program members and elements. To this end, Mission Definition serves the following purposes:
Functional Analysis is the activity of defining the generic system functionality in preparation for tradeoff studies. Functional analysis activities are typically performed by a team of system management, system subject-matter-experts, and system engineers. The following Functional Analysis activities apply:

The baccalaureate degree program is recognized as the basic preparation for professional nursing practice and prepares the graduate as a generalist. Baccalaureate graduates are prepared to provide direct and indirect nursing care. The graduate also is prepared as a communicator, educator, and advocate, and can assume beginning leadership roles. In addition, the baccalaureate degree is foundational for graduate study in nursing.
There are many and varied employment opportunities for registered nurses who have a baccalaureate degree. In hospitals and other health care settings, baccalaureate nurses are practicing in ways that recognize their educational preparation and nursing competencies.
Baccalaureate nurses have more complex nursing care responsibilities in providing direct care. They supervise other personnel who provide nursing care. They also collaborate with other health care professionals in developing, implementing, and evaluating comprehensive plans of health care for patients/clients of all ages in a variety of settings.

RMIT University has launched its presence in Europe with the grand opening of its site in Barcelona, Spain.
The event attended by Jane Hardy, Australian Ambassador to Spain, and the Honourable Conseller Andreu Mas Colell, Minister for Economy and Knowledge in Catalonia.
RMIT Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Margaret Gardner AO, said the decision to establish a centre in Barcelona was to extend and deepen RMIT's collaborative partnerships in Europe and to strengthen the global orientation and reach of RMIT's education and research.
"The excellence of Barcelona in design and technology was very significant in our choice to deepen our partnerships there; and indeed, the high quality of technology and design in Europe has led RMIT to seek a stronger platform for collaboration in education and research there.
"It will also provide an opportunity to link RMIT activity in Australia, Asia and Latin America with our partners in Europe," Professor Gardner said.
"We are already benefiting from being near our valued partners in Barcelona," she said.
"Our recent seminar on Disaster Management and Reconstruction here was well attended – including representatives from the Red Cross and the United Nations – and produced thought-provoking results on the development of a new international Master program.
"We have also had a symposium on architecture, with partner Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya; and we are currently co-hosting a Digital Interventions Symposium with IN3 Research Institute of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunuya here in Barcelona at MediaTic."
The President of RMIT Europe, Professor Colin Fudge, said that in 2014 RMIT Europe planned to begin dual Master programs, joint research, and student and staff exchanges with partners in Spain, England, Sweden and Germany.
"In Barcelona our main partners include Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and the Elisava School of Design and Engineering," Professor Fudge said.
"We also have significant collaborations with institutions in England – the University of the Arts in London, Salford University and the BBC, in Sweden – Chalmers University in Gothenburg and Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, Stockholm, and in Germany – Sports University of Cologne – to develop cooperative programs."
With 82,000 students worldwide, RMIT has three campuses in Melbourne, Australia, and two in Vietnam, and offers a variety of programs through partners in Singapore, Hong Kong and mainland China, Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Europe.
RMIT Europe's office is at Carrer de Minerva 2, Barcelona, Spain.
Guests from Europe and Australia attended the launch.

I know this is a long shot, but you never know what a member might have, so here goes . . .
This is the part that fits up very close to the header and is a chrome piece. It has cutouts for the exhaust and bolts to the longer piece that covers more of the header and extends towards the rear of the bike.
Since this piece is hard to describe, in this link, http://www.hdlparts.com/fiche_sectio...2002&fveh=3498 it is #24. And the left side is the one I need.

Using Statistics
A Gentle Introduction

moreIf you're encountering statistics for the first time, and want a readable, supportive introduction, then this is the book for you. There are plenty of excellent stats books in the world, but very few of them are entertaining reading. One result is that many students are deterred by stats. But this book is different. Written in an informal style, it guides the reader gently through the field from the simplest descriptive statistics to multidimensional approaches. It's written in an accessible way, with few calculations and fewer equations, for readers from a broad set of academic disciplines ranging from archaeology to zoology. There are numerous illustrative examples that guide the reader through: how to answer various types of research question; how to use different forms of analysis; the strengths and weaknesses of particular methods; and, methods that may be useful but that don't usually appear in statistics books. In this way, the book's emphasis is on understanding how statistics can be used to help answer research questions, rather than on the minute details of particular statistical tests. less

So why is he listed as top rated player from USA on this site with 2700 rating if he hasn't moved a piece over here?
Maybe he's busy?
may be the 90 day criterion applied to his games..(during non premium days)
Maybe he's rated OTB 2700? That shouldn't make a difference anyways.
Weird indeed.
based on what?
how these guys play blindfold... cant even imagine
How did he get a 1280 rating here? They used to start everyone off at 1200 but now i think new players are listed as unrated.
it is to be construed as the the average rating for all users with country listed "United States"
say one guy is 2700 on top and 1000 players 990 rated will give an average of 991
I meant to say, why is he listed as top rated player from USA with 2700 rating in online chess when he hasn't played a single online game. Why not put someone who has actually played on this site and got rating?
You'll note that the rating is in parentheses, which is just a guesstimate of a rating based on his USCF or FIDE rating. So for a chess.com rating, it should be about 3000.
Still, what's really disturbing is that the average US player on chess.com is rated 1280!!
Topalov was not world champion... classical only please...
Imho the policy of assigning titled players certain ratings upon registering is arguable, because:
a) FIDE ratings and Chess.com ratings are different
b) Correspondence chess and otb chess are different
c) The numbers assigned are pretty random. I think I got 2200 as a start; my second (a strong IM) was graded 2000. Then some people actually get confused and start asking: "Is it true that some amateur who has 2800 Chess.com rating is a better player than you"?
i remember reading somewhere in chess.com itself a computation/ratio of converting USCF rating to chess.com.. May be such a formulae exists for FIDE too.. but i am not sure..
He has another account
He should play speed chess against GMs!

YJCs are a widely-practiced restorative justice technique that involves young offenders meeting their victims in the presence of their family and support people, and making a legally-binding commitment about how they can repair the harm they have caused. 1691 court referrals made up 57 per cent of the YJC caseload in 2011-12, so ending them will significantly reduce the reach of this program and see 65 staff sacked.
But, according to Bleijie, YJCs are to be stopped by popular demand:
"Queenslanders did not particularly like the fact that the offender had the opportunity to sit in with the victim and try to sort it all out. We will always stick up for the victim's rights above and beyond the offender's rights — that is the philosophy of this government."
I wonder which Queenslanders Bleijie has been consulting? Thousands of YJCs have been held in Queensland and participants have completed an evaluation form after every single one. According to the most recent figures from the Children's Court of QLD annual report (pdf), "There was a very high level of satisfaction from participants (98 per cent indicated that the conference was fair and with being satisfied with the agreement)".
These figures include victim feedback, which casts doubt upon Bleijie's claim to be sticking up for victims.
Criminologist Dr Heather Strang has noted that, "victims worldwide... want a less formal process in which they can participate and their experience of victimisation be taken seriously". YJCs offer that, giving victims an important speaking role and the power to make a decision about how the offender can make amends. This contrasts sharply with Children's Court, which is a closed court where victims are not even present in the vast majority of cases.
Offenders, on the other hand, can be considerably more reluctant to participate in YJCs. At the launch of the Brisbane chapter of Restorative Practices International a couple of weeks ago, Judge John Robertson of the Queensland District Court told stories of extremely reluctant offenders who would much rather deal with, "the old wheels of the criminal justice system", than explain their actions directly to the person they harmed. Including one young man who skipped bail rather than face his victim.
Bleijie's characterisation of YJCs as a soft option for offenders that neglects victims is at odds with reality. But let's give him the benefit of the doubt. He has other arguments (pdf) to justify taking the axe to such a successful program:
"Well, it obviously ain't working because we have got such a high reoffending rate of young people. Mr Chair, this is the problem with the Labor Party. The Labor Party set all these programs up and they did not work, but they just continued them for the sake of continuing them..."
Far be it from me to leap to the defense of the Labor Party, especially given that YJC was introduced by the conservative Borbidge Government in its 1996 amendments to the Juvenile Justice Act 1992.
On the more substantive charge of YJC being responsible for a high rate of recidivism in Queensland, the Attorney General seems to be relying on figures from a Courier Mail report from last year that don't tell us anything about whether youth recidivism is getting better or worse or what might be responsible in either case.
But on youth offending rates generally in Queensland, the Children's Court figures tell us:
"There was a 15.2 per cent decrease in the number of young people coming before the Childrens Court of Queensland, and a 20.0 per cent decrease in those appearing before the District Court. The number of juveniles dealt with by the Supreme Court also decreased by 64.3 per cent."
So don't despair; we're not in the grip of a youth crime wave just yet.
NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research analysis (pdf) suggests YJC has about the same impact on recidivism as court does. If courts can no longer divert young offenders to YJCs, they will simply sentence them with no consequent reduction in recidivism. The LNP's only alternative youth justice policy seems to be boot camps that will only be available at two pilot locations for the next two years, so they will be of small use to most offenders.
Cost also hardly justifies the cut. In New South Wales, which uses a more expensive model of YJC than Queensland because most court referrals return to court after the conference (whereas most do not in Queensland), "the average cost of a YJC was estimated to be about 18 per cent less (pdf) than the average cost of a comparable matter dealt with in the Children's Court".
So on any fair analysis, it seems that the LNP is gutting a victim-oriented program with extraordinary levels of participant satisfaction, that is cheaper than court and just as effective at addressing recidivism. Good work Bleijie.

I have worked with young people for more than 20 years and I can say with certainty that Young Justice Conferencing is the most powerful tool in the justice toolbox for addressing low level crimes and first offenses.
I have sat in on more than 30 conferences and was often the worker responsible for monitoring the agreement and reporting on the results. The effect on most young people is profound, something which can hardly ever be said for court appearances or worse, custodial sentences.
This has nothing to do with the budget and everything to do with beating down young offenders. Since the Queensland government is well aware of the high rates of offending among Indigenous youth it fits comfortably in with an almost cliched Queensland racism.
The state government's social agenda is despicable enough. For them to dress up their attacks on disadvantaged people, evidence based practice and socially progressive programs as financial necessity is putrid.

A few more "private prisons" for private investors?
Or is it the Queensland way i.e. they want the federal Labor government to give them a billion or two to help out again? Or have they forgotten?

As a result of the actions of this Government, Queensland will certainly have some social issues to deal with in the near future!

Bleijie Petersen anyone?

The action by the Queensland Attorney General is typical of a government that it is immature, inexperienced and desperate to show how tough it is. They may get better but there are no positive signs yet.
Posted Wednesday, May 1, 2013 - 10:22
It is a curious move of the Newman Government to implement Boot Camps, axing the option for court referred Youth Justice Conferencing. International research has shown Boot Camps to be widely ineffective in reducing recidivism, particularly so when they do not include a strong therapeutic focus on education and families in addition to psychological and behavioral change. In contrast, the prior diversionary alternative of youth justice conferencing has been proven to be more economical, and highly effective. The motivation behind the Governments 'crack down' on youth crime should be critically explored, particularly when it can be seen that youth crime rates have been on a downward trend for almost ten years. It is concerning that young people, instead of being afforded guidance, and an autonomous opportunity to repent will now be put in a militaristic type setting and 'disciplined'. Is this approach just sensationalizing the 'hardline' stance of the State Government on youth offending?

|Watauga Eliminated By ACR
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Friday, 01 July 2011 21:37
A.C. Reynolds defeated the Watauga Junior American Legion A Team 11-6 Friday night at Pioneer Field completing the two-game sweep in their best-of-three series in the Area 4 playoffs.ACR broke the game open with a nine-run explosion in the third inning. Losing pitcher Andy Miller was touched up for six runs in two-plus innings of work. Tripp Taylor finished up and only gave up two runs in four innings. Trailing 9-0, Watauga (7-11) chipped away with a run in the fourth and five more in the fifth. But the comeback fell short.
"The big inning hurt us (Thursday) night, and it hurt us again tonight," said A Team coach Bradley Rudisill. "But we fought back and made a game of it. (A.C. Reynolds) got a good team. They're fundamentally strong."
Jake Cody went 3-5 in the loss; Jesse Illitch was 3-4 with two runs scored; Matt Lambert was 2-5 with a run scored and two RBI; Tyler Sturgill scored a run; Chance Richards and Andrew Miller each had a base hit and scored a run. "The season's over, but it was a lot of fun," Rudisill said. "I love coaching, and I'm thankful for this opportunity. I really want to be a coach some day. That's why I changed my major (to physical education).
"I really want to thank Dustin Kerley, all the players and the Watauga (High) baseball program for allowing me to do this."
ACR (16-4) will play the Carolina Flames in the second-round of the Area 4 playoffs.

World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples - Qatar : Overview

Qatar is a peninsula bordering Saudi Arabia and otherwise surrounded by the Arabian/Persian Gulf. It has a population of around 907,000 (CIA World Factbook 2007) of which around 25% are Qataris and 75% migrant workers, (2004 census), some of whom have been settled in Qatar for generations.
Of the total population 40% are Arabs, 18% are Indian, 18% are Pakistani, 10% are Iranian and 14% are from other groups (CIA World Factbook 2007).
Main languages: Arabic, Indian and Pakistani languages, Persian
Main religions: Islam (77.5%), mainly strict Wahhabi Sunnism, and Ithna'ashari (Twelver) Shii Islam, Christian 8.5%, other 14% (2004 census).
Major minority groups: Ithna'ashari (Twelver) Shiis
Qatar has a strong Wahhabi tradition.
As elsewhere in the Gulf, rapid economic expansion was accompanied by a vast influx of migrant labour, outnumbering Qataris four to one. Some groups of migrant workers from particular countries have some cultural activities, private schools and associations but each is largely socially isolated from others and migrant workers as a whole do not form cohesive groups.
Qatar declared itself as an independent sovereign state on 3 September 1971, thus ending its status as a British protectorate since 1916. Qatar's economy had traditionally rested on fishing and pearling, however the discovery of oil in the 1940s transformed its fortunes and it continues to primarily derive its income from oil and gas exports, resources that give it one of the highest per capita GDPs in the world.
Qatar is governed as a traditional monarchy by the Al Thani family. In 1995, the present Amir Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani overthrew the previous Emir, his father, in a bloodless coup. Since then some changes have been introduced including: the adoption of the Permanent Constitution of the State of Qatar through a public referendum and Emir endorsement (2005) which has a section on 'Public Rights and Duties', the introduction of a Municipal Councils for which elections were first held in 1999, provision for a new Consultative Council in the Constitution two-thirds of whose membership will be decided by public elections proposed for 2007, and the merging of the civil and Islamic law court systems in 2003 under the higher court for appeals – the Court of Cessation.
Nevertheless, fundamentally, the political system remains strongly dominated by the Emir as monarch with democratic accountability remaining very much nascent.
Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples
Qatar revoked the citizenship of 6,000 persons mainly from the Al-Gufran branch of the Al-Murra tribe on the charge of them breaking the law prohibiting dual citizenship, due to the charge that they held Saudi citizenship. This also meant that they lost their jobs and benefits. The Qatar National Human Rights Commission has stated that the situation of one-third of these cases has now been resolved.
The political changes introduced since 1995 have focused on the 20% Qatari citizens amongst which no 'minorities' or other groups are recognised. Priveleges such as free education and health are reserved for citizens. Qataris are presumed to be Muslims and apostasy is not tolerated.
There is free practice of Sunni and Shii Islam and there are a number of Shii mosques. Worship amongst migrant worker communities largely takes place in private and is usually tolerated. Registration has been granted Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, Coptic and some other Christian groups by the government and six new churches are being built for these communities.

ABC pulls Knights, Nine... again
There are still four episodes of The Nine that have not aired and two episodes of Knights that never aired. No word from ABC on whether they will ever see the light of day, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Well I missed the first "summer"showing of The Nine 3 weeks ago but thankfully watched it on ABC.com. Watched the second last week and had the DVR set to record it last night, as the channel guide listed it as being on. Certainly disappointed to find NASCAR instead. Sure it's sad the ratings aren't good, but as someone said, it's the last couple of weeks of summer, we all DVR our shows!!! If they (ABC) plan to for sure never air the remaining episodes then please, at least put them on ABC.com!!!!August 16 2007 at 9:52 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Knights was great... sure it wasn't the best but it's better than a lot of shows on tv. I wonder what's going to happen in the next two episodes.August 14 2007 at 8:10 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
My confusion comes from a different angle. I don't understand why ABC was expecting to get any decent ratings when it was burning off two shows that essentially have no ending. Why would I want to watch The Nine when it doesn't wrap up... it just ends because the network canceled it? Same with Knights.
Either air them with low expectations or just put them on the website.
I loved The Knights of Prosperity! I guess it ranks in there with Jim and Lopez...but I like those types of shows better than the dramas and "dramadies". I never watched The Nine until last week and I liked it, I don't understand ABC or any other network really. They take away The Nine and give up Cavemen? I think ABC actually hired Disney writers to come up with some of their shows for this fall.August 14 2007 at 1:29 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I really thought that NBC did a rare and wonderful thing when they showed the entire season of "Studio 60" earlier this year even though it's ratings were not good and the show had already not been renewed for another season. It was a nice gift to the fans who did like the show and wanted to see it play out. It won a lot of goodwill with me personally as I was one of those fans.
I thought ABC was following NBC's lead by doing the same with "The Nine". I lLOVED watching the last 2 episodes. Even though it had been months since the show was cancelled, I found myself riveted again and totally engrossed in the show and the characters. And now - yanked - again. This is so disappointing. Slapping fans of the show TWICE ! I'm done with ABC. I don't care what they introduce this fall.
My brother is not a serious TV viewer and never watches anything new but he does wait to hear what shows are good, then he rents or buys the DVDs after the season is over. That way he can devout his TV viewing to shows that are good and safe from being yanked. I'm starting to see the logic in his style of TV viewing.
I think some folks are missing the point: These original episodes did WORSE than RERUNS of other shows. It isn't the network treating these shows like dirt -- it is the audience. (Of course, it isn't as "cool" to blame the audience.)August 14 2007 at 11:59 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

They have already paid for the episodes. Do networks have to pay more if they actually air those episodes? Are the ratings so bad that they can't find a place to air them in a 24 hr day? I mean they are paid for....Put them on Thursday night at 11 PM. What am I missing....All of these canceled shows that have episodes done...yet the ratings are so important that they can't air them? What about selling them to a cable network for a couple hundred bucks? I mean it would be a couple hundred more than they would have had just by shelving them....And their are lots of cable networks that would love to pull in a million viewers.....What's up with that?
What could you expect, those networks treat us like crap, and if we keep accepting it & watching those remaining episodes whenever they decide to throw them at us, they'll never stop canceling shows after only a couple of episodes!
