So You Think You Can Dance Recap: Tears and Injuries in 8 Grueling Rounds of Vegas Week
June 20, 2012 07:17 PM by Candace Young
The open auditions are over on So You Think You Can Dance and the dancers who were chosen to go to Las Vegas now face 8 rounds with ruthless cuts, which will determine who moves on. The panel includes Lil C, Debbie Allen, Adam Shankman, Tyce Diorio, Nigel Lythgoe, and Mary Murphy. Keep reading for highlights…
The first round on So You Think You Can Dance Vegas Week is solos, and Nigel Lythgoe warns those assembled that they're gone if their solo doesn't stand up. Nothing like pressure! Hampton (the exorcist) is up first and has half the panel in tears with his brilliance. Amazing way to kick it off! After the first 10 solos, two girls are let go. Nigel's belly dancer returns with an unbelievably sensual solo and wows the judges. Talk about good vibrations. Gah!
Comfort and Twitch run the hip hop round, but their choreography proves to be too difficult for some – particularly the three roommates from Dragon House who have only ever done their own moves. It's a tearjerker when Hampton tells the judges he has to drop out. Boris from Dragon House also gets cut. The Praying Mantis hits the end of the road, along with mother of two, Bree. The last remaining member of Dragon House, Cyrus, performs his hip hop. He makes it through!
In the Broadway round, 'Team Ballroom', who look like two barbie dolls, perform and go through. The belly dancer, Janine, does too! Joseph and Trey are among the cuts, and Alexa, who was cut last year in Vegas, scrapes through, but Adam warns her he's sick of saving her – she could be the star of the show, but she's 'dead' as far as expression and connecting with her partner.
Shafik, the chair performer, is struggling to keep up in the jazz round. He and Rachel from Utah are cut by the panel after their routine. Rachel appeals for a second chance and the panel votes to give it to her. Giovanni kicks Danielle in the head during his jazz routine, and is let go. Whoops! Danielle has to be looked at by paramedics.
Amelia, she of silent movie inspiration, is powering through the rounds, but the panel is split on her fate following the jazz audition. She will get to dance for her life. Cyrus has trouble with technique, but is put through. He cries. Aw! Meanwhile, Danielle's been taken to the hospital. Eep.
After the jazz round, 15 more have been cut. Rachel and Amelia both have to dance for their lives. Rachel plans to stick to the burlesque style. She reminds me of Britney Spears. The panel gives her routine a thumbs down. Debbie tells her she's relying on sex appeal when she should put on some clothes and dance. Amelia has her shot, and dances beautifully – she has Adam in tears. All of the panelists give her a 'yes' except for Nigel, who feels she is unable to make them feel the same way when given someone else's choreography. She's through to the next round with Nigel's disapproval ringing in her ears.
Cat Deeley tells the remaining contestants they will be able to choose their own groups for the next round. Fatigue is setting in and nerves are fraying.
After being up most of the night, the dancers show their routines the next morning. Danielle returned, but joined her performance group late so they're really at a disadvantage. The performance is a mess – totally out of sync – but only Danielle and Charlie are cut. In the ensuing groups, more are cut and the dynamic in the theater becomes emotional. Aubrey's group performs and things turn around. The panel thinks her concept was genius, and they all go on.
Alexa's group performs and Tyce tells her it's like the lights are on and nobody's home. They badger her about her lack of emotion until she cracks and cries. Mission accomplished. The group makes it through.
Tackling the Cha Cha is a challenge for Cyrus, but again, he refuses to be intimidated. After the performance for the panel, he winds up in the position that he'll have to dance for his life. The Footloose boy goes home, as do a few of the girls. Aubrey, who blew the judges away in the group round, is devastated to be let go. Alexa will have to really bring it and connect with her partner in this round after all the warnings. She does it!
At the end of the ballroom round, Cyrus, who has become a favorite of the other dancers, takes the stage to dance for his life. His pop 'n' lock is insane – he goes through.
At this point, 18 dancers are told they must perform again as the judges are unsure about them. Just two are able to change their minds and continue on to the final day of Vegas Week.
It's crunch time for the remaining dancers as on the last day they must perform solos in hopes of sticking around. Joshua lands hard on his back or neck in practice and has to be taken away by ambulance in traction. He was unconscious – it doesn't look good.
The solos commence. Alexa is first. Debbie Allen thinks she could win the whole thing. Tyce seems to question that. The others do their thing and tell the judges why they should move on. Chehon goes last and has the judges exclaiming outloud over his ballet. He's ridiculous. One dancer says he's not from this planet.
Nigel calls the boys together. Five are cut including Trey and Adrian. Next, it's the girls' turn. None are cut. 35 dancers in all make it to the end of Vegas Week!
Next week…the Top Twenty are chosen, plus an update on Joshua.

Student who sleeps in is ill-prepared for future
I felt the need to respond to a recent letter tot he editor from Daniella Callaghan from Mountain Top.
Your suggestion to change the time that school begins is not going to make you a more responsible person. If you feel you are not getting the required eight or nine hours of sleep you need, that's an easy fix - go to bed earlier. You arrive at school late because you over sleep. That is a poor excuse. Take responsibility for your actions. Make it a point to get up and out of bed when your alarm goes off. Homeroom is not the time to review you notes for two tests scheduled for that day. The studying or reviewing should have been done the night before so you would be prepared to take your tests.
Do you honestly think in the future your employer will appreciate you arriving late and unprepared for a days work when you get a job? I don't think so. I suggest you quit complaining and step up to the plate now to change your ways and bad habits and become a responsible person. It's called life - you don't always think it is fair but you learn to deal with it with a positive attitude, which in turn will give you positive results. If you don't begin to change your bad habits now, you will have a rude awakening in the future.

Cleaning Up Where We Play
Rivers are focal points in communities and river cleanups draw volunteers from all walks of life. One of my favorite parts of a river cleanup is meeting people and learning their motivations for volunteering their time. I've learned that it is a safe bet that at each cleanup you'll find the folks there because the river is where they play. Whether they camp along its banks, enjoy running or hiking trails nearby, relaxing on the shore after casting a line, or taking to the current to paddle recreationists understand that in order to enjoy nature they need to put in the work to keep it clean.
Volunteers at a river cleanup may be visiting these wild places for the very first time. It seems that at every cleanup I attend I overhear someone remark that they had no idea such a beautiful place existed so close to their home! Anyone who has volunteered at a river cleanup can tell you it's hard to walk away from the experience without feeling a sense of ownership over the river. While river cleanups are events that bring people back year after year through recreation we can give people an opportunity to come back every week.
I spent my Earth Day weekend in Bedford, Pennsylvania at the Bedford County Stream Sweep and Earth Day Celebration where volunteers cleaned up 1.5 tons of trash and 81 tires! Organized by REI and Keep Bedford County Beautiful the cleanup involved 50 volunteers cleaning up trash, 30 volunteers planting and doing beautification projects, and 10 organizers at different sites across the towns of Bedford and Everett. We kicked off the event in Shawnee State Park where a group of students from a local elementary school participated in plantings along the riparian buffer of Shawnee Lake. Later I joined a group of REI employees who were busy cleaning up tires, debris, and plenty of trash from the shoreline at a boat access point on the Raystown Branch Juniata River Water Trail. This access point is the starting line for the Bloody Run Canoe Classic, a 9-mile canoe race organized by the Raystown Canoe Club, so it was important to clean it up and have it ready for the day of the big event!
A highlight of the cleanup was the celebration afterwards. REI and Keep Bedford County Beautiful organized fly tying workshops with Fort Bedford Trout Unlimited, and George Barner, Regional Outdoor Recreation Coordinator for PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources set up a sustainable campsite fully equipped with a tent made from recycled bottles, and brought mountain bikes for volunteers and their families to use on the trails around the park.
It was a joy to see so many people who had spent their morning cleaning up get to enjoy the park and learn about new recreational opportunities. REI has been an excellent partner in planning river cleanups and I'm already looking forward to next Earth Day. Who knows, maybe I'll throw my hat into the ring and paddle the Bloody Run!
Register a river cleanup with National River Cleanup today and show people in your community how much fun outdoor recreation can be!

LHS round-up: football team heads to Kennett for North Conference showdown
- Published in Local Sports
LACONIA — The Sachems (3-4) head to Kennett tonight, attempting to return to a .500. Laconia comes to the game after an exciting win over Lebanon last week, one which saw the Sachems mount a fourth quarter comeback sparked by a strip fumble that was returned 70 yards for a defensive touchdown. Laconia would score 13 points in the final frame to beat Lebanon (2-5) 20-17. The Sachems are in control of their own destiny for a playoff berth, but have to win tonight and next week against Milford to secure a spot in the NHIAA Division II playoffs.
Boys' soccer
The soccer team fell to 10-5 this week losing 2-1 to Belmont. The boys finish the regular season tonight when they play host to Mascoma Valley (2-13).
If Laconia earns a bid into the playoffs, the tournament will begin Tuesday, October 29.
Girls' soccer
The Sachems won their second game of the season Tuesday afternoon by shutting out Kingswood (1-14). The girls will finish the season tonight when they head to Alton to take on Prospect Mountain (7-7-1).
Field Hockey
Laconia earned the tenth seed in the NHIAA Division III playoff tournament with a 9-5 record. The Sachems traveled to Tilton to face off with the seventh seed Winnisquam Bears on Wednesday. Laconia failed to score in a 3-0 loss. The Bears will head to Gilford to play the two seed on Saturday at 2 p.m.
The Laconia girls' volleyball team lost 3-0 Monday night when they hosted Gilford (11-3). On Wednesday earned a 3-1 win in Conway versus Kennett. The team will host Kingswood tonight for the final match of the regular season.

Farmers and Merchants Bank
4th and Main
Across the street from the Barclay Hotel is the Farmers and Merchants Bank, one of the oldest remaining bank buildings. It predates most of the banks that were built on nearby Spring Street, a thoroughfare that would eventually become the "Wall Street of the West."
This, along with two neighboring buildings, have been renovated for new residential space. This corner, at 4th and Main, is one of the centers of downtown gentrification. Despite its location at the edge of Skid Row, the corner remains vibrant long into the night, with several clubs and two outdoor patios patronized by visitors and residents alike.

An online social adoptee from 2005. He's an exhibited artist.
A friend of mine has been developing a fantastic idea for products that have a due date – a label that tells you once the product has been opened how long you can keep it for or will last before it goes off. Clever huh?
I have to say though, I could do with it on more than a label – I find myself juggling more projects at one time than ever before. Never has the requirement for lists and check lists been more essential, I just wish I knew how important they were years ago!
Anyway getting back to Pete Higgins UWI Label he's down to the last 3 Scottish Finalists of the Barclays – Take one small step – competition, each of the regional winners will receive £50,000 towards their business idea! Pete has been working on all sorts of projects to get his product to market and now he is so nearly there. Winning this competition would mean the world to any business but Pete's idea is a game changer for anyone with a product that has a shelf life – at least for the people that buy the products.
If you want to support Pete have a look at his entry here: Take one small step The vote closes on the 27th June 2011.

PICTURES ADDED a few posts down
I bought my bike from REI..... and as it turns out, that might be a GOOD thing
- because -
they'll take it back if I'm not satisfied.
In two months time, I've ridden it almost 700 miles; I've also managed to put money into serious puncture resistant innertubes & liners, REI changed out my handlebars to something wider, they installed a shorter stem for me, I put on improved cages, and have finally settled on my third after-market saddle.
I've also learned a great deal about proper fit, riding style, etc. The problem?
The Brooks B17 that works sooo well for me, will not slide far enough back on the seat post to put me the correct position in relationship to my pedals. I've raised the seat, I've pounded the nose of the saddle back in an attempt to force it, and I have tried to ignore it....
If all that I do is put the Specialized saddle back in place, I can place myself in the correct position again. But I LIKE that Brooks.
1) Is there a seatpost that I can buy allowing my B17 to mount farther back?
2) Might I consider that this XS (extra small) bike may in fact be TOO small for me, even though I can't clear/stand over the top tube as it is now?
3) Should I return it to REI and come up with additional money to buy either the Novara Safari, or the Raliegh Port Townsend..... or any other suggestions you might have to offer?
4) What would Bicycle Buddha do?

Re: Grounding prong broken off in electrical outlet

Assuming that your outlet is the standard duplex outlet (two pluggy in
thingies in the one box) you can check the one that does not havre the prong
stuck in it. Even if against all odds you have he onl nn duplex socet in the
world, you can still check power status easily in at least three ways with
out any special tools.
1. Cut main breaker. Kills power towhole house. Pull grounding prong with
needle nose pliers. Energize main breaker.
2. Plug a radio or TV, turned up to the loudest sound you can, into the
socket. US TVs and radios tend to be 100 % two wire devices. Shut off
indvidual circuit breakers one at a time, If radio or TV does not go off,
re energize that circuit. Proceed breaker by breaker until you ind the one
that shuts down the radio or TV, When you find the individual breaker
that shuts off the radio or TV, you are home free. Pull the grounding
prong with needle nose pliers.
3. Use a small lamp in place of radio / tv. Test circuit by circuit until
youfind lamp shut off. Proceed as above. The lamp process works best with
a helper so that ypu dont have to walk back to the room from whereever the
panel is located to check lamp status. If you have several very long two
wire extension cords, you can run an extension cord line from the socket
over to wherever the panel is, or as close as you can get, and lug the lamp
in there. It cuts down on the walking back and forth. Obviously you can't
use 3 wire estension cords as you have a prong stuck in the socket.
And no. it is not saf to just grab the broken prong and pull it without
first killing the power.

Richard Paul Fink
By Allan Ulrich
With Saturday evening's world premiere of John Adams' Doctor Atomic, the San Francisco Opera has, at long last, introduced a work worthy of the company's vaunted reputation, and, in the process, put the seal on the turbulent, five-year tenure of commissioning general director Pamela Rosenberg. She leaves her post in January, with the knowledge that she has enriched the international repertoire.
The implications of the work are certainly global. Doctor Atomic is the brilliant physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, whose stewardship of the Manhattan Project gave us the thermonuclear weapons that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki and confronted mankind with the possibility of annihilating itself. Drawing on historical accounts, interviews with participants and recently declassified government documents, Adams' constant collaborator, Peter Sellars, cobbled together a libretto of authentic provenance.
The implications of the work are certainly global. Doctor Atomic is the brilliant physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, whose stewardship of the Manhattan Project gave us the thermonuclear weapons that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki and confronted mankind with the possibility of annihilating itself. Drawing on historical accounts, interviews with participants and recently declassified government documents, Adams' constant collaborator, Peter Sellars, cobbled together a libretto of authentic provenance.
Kristine Jepson (Kitty Oppenheimer)
To that material, he added verse by Baudelaire and Muriel Rukeyser, poets favored by Oppenheimer and his wife Kitty, and complemented them with an extract from the Bhagavad Gita, and, in one extraordinary episode, John Donne's sonnet, "Batter my heart, three-person'd God." It was this poem that inspired Oppenheimer to name the New Mexico test site Trinity. And it is this poem around which Adams has fashioned the shattering neo-baroque aria that concludes Act I.
The recourse to actual historical events is nothing new for Adams and Sellars. However, for their third operatic project they have simultaneously hewed more closely to the historical record than before, and departed from it in more magical ways. Adams' evolution, from an avatar of minimalism in Nixon in China 18 years ago to a composer prepared to adopt whatever means served his dramatic needs, has not been more rigorously or sensuously revealed as it is here.
The action begins in Los Alamos three weeks before the first test of the A-bomb in 1945; the last scene and all of Act II transpire on the day before the detonation. Sellars' libretto deftly limns the participants' characters: Oppenheimer's growing self-awareness, scientist Edward Teller's calculating ambition, and the moral qualms of young physicist Robert Wilson, the last overriden by the blustering hubris of General Groves, the project's military commander. The leading women Kitty Oppenheimer and her Navajo nanny, Pasqualita serve as creatures of intuition, seers who sense the natural order will forever be overturned with the advent of the nuclear age.
Adams hasn't entirely forsaken the propulsive ostinatos and repeated rising scales of his minimalist days, but the palette is remarkably richer now, the influences not so much acknowledged as embraced, the electronics not so much decorative as organic. The opera begins with a Varèse-like prologue, a musique concrète composition Adams fashioned from the sound of power tools. Later, the interlude preceding the test seems an homage to the chromatically brooding prologue to, appropriately, the second act of Wagner's Götterdämmerung. The refined colors of Ravel often attach themselves to the vocal line. Here, Adams favors the melismatic writing, often rising to moments of sheer ecstasy, that have come to mark his extended works for the voice.
As in the productions of the two earlier operas, Sellars populates his stage with massive choruses their opening foray was completely unintelligible and squads of dancers, here performing Lucinda Childs' pristine, geometric unisons. This, however, is the first of the three operas in which choreography serves a genuinely philosophical function. The New Mexico license plate calls it a "Land of Enchantment," and the dancers who surround and mirror Pasqualita, as she sings a Tewa lullaby to the Oppenheimer baby, seem like spirits from an ancient culture, vainly attempting to halt an assault on civilization itself.
The Canadian baritone Gerald Finley is the latest in a growing line of distinguished artists to enter the Adams orbit. Finley's coppery instrument rode the orchestral waves; his diction was exemplary, his dedication to the role was overwhelming. Bass-baritone Richard Paul Fink was the shrewd Teller, reveling in objectivity verging on callousness. Tenor Thomas Glenn, who joined the cast late in the game, lent Robert Wilson's ethical protestations uncommon force. Bass Eric Owens provided a welcome bit of humor to Groves, more concerned about his diet than the implications of the bomb. Adams/Sellars veteran James Maddalena (the original Nixon) brought his resilient baritone and ironic inflections to Frank Hubbard, the meteorologist ordered by Groves to change the weather for the day of the test.
San Francisco Opera Corps de Ballet
Beth Clayton deployed her burnished mezzo capably as Pasqualita. But mezzo-soprano Kristine Jepson, who replaced Lorraine Hunt Lieberson before rehearsals began, made little of Kitty Oppenheimer. Hazy diction and an unfocused lower register robbed Adams' voluptuous setting of Rukeyser's "Easter Eve, 1945" of its musical quality and moral force, perhaps this premiere production's major disappointment.
In her San Francisco Opera debut, veteran Sellars collaborator Adrianne Lobel has fashioned a minimalist and frequently metamorphosing décor. Wooden slats and metal pipes rise and descend over a steeply raked platform incised with a mandala. Zinc lamps and work tables suggest the feverish activity at Los Alamos. At the rear, James F. Ingalls' extraordinary lighting illuminates a cut-out of New Mexico's Sangre de Cristo mountains. A model of the bomb hangs, menacingly, over the stage; even when it is covered by a shroud, its shadow remains. Dunya Ramicova's costumes credibly recreate the final days of World War II, down to Oppenheimer's porkpie hats.
Doctor Atomic may not yet be the opera that its creators hoped for. The 86-minute second act reveals moments that impede the trajectory of the piece. The actual explosion is not approached with sufficient dramatic tension; missing were the countdowns to the blast that had appeared in the version of the libretto distributed to the press. Still, while it is true that Sellars alters the perspective for the epilogue, the decision is valid artistically. Hearing the big bang is not what Doctor Atomic is about.
Despite the density of texture and sheer quantity of incident in the orchestra, it was remarkable how much of the libretto came through. But, under Donald Runnicles' vigorous, committed baton, not quite enough. As to Mark Grey's sound design, although the singers wore discreet cordless microphones, balances among the singers and the orchestra were far from ideal Saturday. If memory serves, the identical problem plagued the 1991 premiere of The Death of Klinghoffer in Brussels. Adjustments will doubtless be made both here and in the score and libretto. Casting will be revised. An Adams-Sellars project is always a living organism, a project in progress.
Doctor Atomic, which continues here through October 22, moves to the Netherlands Opera in 2007 and then to the Lyric Opera of Chicago (both co-commissioning companies). The English National Opera and the Metropolitan Opera have reportedly expressed interest. Doctor Atomic may continue to live on the stage for nearly as long as the dilemma it so eloquently recreates for a new century.

Healthy eating can be tasty
March is National Nutrition Month and this year's theme from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is "Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right."
As a food lover, this is a theme that I can get behind. I also think it is very important that as dietitians and nutritionists we make it clear that eating healthy doesn't have to require eating boring, tasteless food. In fact healthy eating can be delicious too.
As food professionals we also know that the No. 1 reason that people select one food over another is taste. While other factors such as cost and convenience play a large role in food selection, people are most likely to eat the foods that they like.
So, how do we help people eat a healthy diet that includes all of the nutrient packed fruits, vegetables, lean means, whole grains and low-fat dairy that their bodies need while also making sure they enjoy the food they are eating?
My favorite way to approach this potential dilemma is to make simple substitutions to favorite dishes that improve their overall quality.
One example that is an important staple in the Bachman house is macaroni and cheese, (yum!) But rather than making the traditional mac and cheese with white pasta, butter, and cheese we select whole wheat pasta, cut the butter, and add a package of frozen mixed vegetables to the recipe to bulk up the nutrient punch. With this recipe you get the same flavor and enjoyment as the original version but you can feel good about eating it as well.
Another favorite (even for my 19-month-old toddler) is using spaghetti squash in place of pasta for any pasta dishes - even lasagna. One cup of pasta has 180 calories and 35 grams of carbs versus one cup of spaghetti squash, which has 40 calories and 10 grams of carbs, a savings of 140 calories and 25 grams of carbs.
It's also important to keep in mind that it's not one particular ingredient, food, meal or even one whole day that determines our health. It's the choices that we make on a regular basis.
One Google search of the word "superfoods" yields almost 4 million results and provides a list of foods that claim to individually prevent or treat any number of disease ailments. There is so much "nutrition" information out there and most of it should more accurately be called marketing materials then health information.
The saying "if it's too good to be true, then it probably is" rings very true in my field. Eating blueberries or chia seeds with each meal will only yield limited benefits if the rest of your meal is made up of a cheeseburger and french fries.
So, what's the key to optimal nutritional health? It's making the best choices most of the time. With small substitutions, you can still eat the foods you enjoy while achieving this goal.

It's a unique New Year's resolution, but Chaz Bono is determined to finish what he started: the recent Dancing With The Stars contestant announced that he is saving up for the final surgery that will fully complete his sex change. What does Jennifer Elia, his former fiancee, think about his goal? Or how about the most important woman in his life, Cher? Read on for all the details, including how he's coping with his treatments thus far.
Born as Chastity, the only child of Sonny and Cher has gone public about his privates: he is proudly saving up for a penis.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Chaz Bono opens up about his hopes for the final surgery to complete his sex change. He previously had his breasts removed, and is already receiving testosterone injections, which, he says, is "literally like going through a second puberty."
"I have more hair on my back than on my chest," he says. "I've waited my whole life to be able to have body hair, but I never thought I'd have back hair. But what are you going to do, right?'
Chaz is considering a few different options for his pending body part. "There's different ways to do the surgery, from real basic to more and more options. It's like a car," he says. "I'd like to have the testicular implants, and be able to urinate through it. Probably $25,000, maybe $45,000."
He clarifies that he'll be saving up for the surgery on his own and plans to have the operation once he can afford it, without any financial help from his mother, Cher.
"She has [helped out financially] in the past when there's been a problem or issue, but no, I don't like to take money from my mom more than anybody else does," he says. "Being self-supporting is important to me."
Besides, Cher is also "not 100 percent comfortable" with the idea just yet, he says. "For her, it's a process." And it's not just Cher who has some reservations; former fiancee Jennifer Elia is outwardly against him getting the surgery.
"I think Jen wished I wouldn't get the bottom done, but she understood my need to," he says. "You have to understand; for me, the life transformation has already happened."
What do you think about Chaz Bono's new savings goal?

As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on April 26, 2012
S. 2224 would require the President to submit to the Congress reports on Syrian opposition groups and on stockpiles of weapons in Syria. Based on information from the Administration, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have discretionary costs of less than $500,000 in 2013, assuming availability of appropriated funds. Enacting S. 2224 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
S. 2224 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.

Advocate and Messenger, October, 1933
It is conceded by all well informed spiritually minded Primitive Baptists that God is the creator of the heavens and earth. The mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms were all made by Him. There is no life, human or Divine, without antecedent life. He is sovereign over all worlds. No creature comes into existence by chance or upon the principle of evolution. No being created itself. Life precedes action and growth. This is true in the natural and spiritual realm. God, the Creator, created of all things, and His wisdom and foreknowledge beheld all the action of His creatures. Sin is man's act which he does voluntarily, and in the commission of sin man carries our his own will, and is not influenced or forced to commit sin; therefore, he is accountable to God, and is to blame for all his wicked actions. It is blaspheming to charge sin and wickedness to God as the source or efficient cause of sin. God's attitude toward sin is over-ruling, and His relation toward holiness is causative. God's efficient predestination is what He does, or causes to be done. It is His act. He is the author of what He effectually predestinates. Predestination brings salvation and not damnation. God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation. Many dear Christians have failed to make the distinction between predestination and God's wisdom, or foreknowledge have unintentionally made mistakes, using predestination where they meant wisdom, or foreknowledge. Our fathers did not believe that God is the author of sin, coerced or influenced any to commit sin. God's children in the recreation or regeneration in soul are passive under a physical law. In obedience God's children have divine life, and are active under a parental law,--God giving them the grace and ability to do what He requires of them. This is the doctrine of the fathers. They held that there is an eternal salvation of which Jesus Christ is the author (Isa. 45:17; Matt. 1:21; Acts. 4:12; II Tim. 1:19; Heb. 5:9), and that there is salvation in time for God's living children to work out (Phil. 2:12,13; Acts 2:40); through preaching the gospel (Acts 11:14; I. Cor. 1:21; I Tim. 4:15), and by baptism, etc. This was contended for in the writings of Eld. John Gill, G. Beebe, J. F. Johnson, John Clark, S. H. Durand, F. A. Chick, A. L. Moore, Jas. Dameron, F. P. Branscome, S. F. Cayce, C. H. Waters, J. R. Daily, and perhaps nine tenths of the old Baptists now living. None believe they can obey without the enabling grace of God, but they can do all things He requires through Christ, who strengthens them. While there is much gained by the Christian in obedience, and much lost by disobedience, they praise God for every blessing. They feel that they are to blame for disobedience, and deserve the chastening hand of the Lord. Our fathers and the great body of our people, now living, believe that the church is the only disciplinary body, and that associations have not the slightest authority over churches. Our people, generally, oppose mob-law discipline. Even if a preacher preaches unsound doctrine he should be labored with gospelly as the Scriptures direct (Tit. 3:10), have a fair and impartial trial before he is excluded, or if there be a personal difference Gospel steps should be taken accordingly (Matt. 18). To exclude a servant of God without a trial is mob-law and illegal, and deserves punishment by law. The civil courts of our country will gibe a black criminal an impartial hearing before an impartial jury. The church of God should not be less righteous in her actions than a worldly court. It is dangerous to seek the life of a brother,--vengeance belongs to God and He will repay. The church of God is not a slaughter house to slay good brethren. God's people should be merciful. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Railing against servants of God publicly is a grievous sin, associated with drunkenness, fornication, etc., and the church is commanded to put that wicked person from among them. Saul fell on his own sword. We need great forbearance and should not use carnal weapons. We should be kind, tender, loving, forgiving, and prayerful, remembering that he that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall prosper. God will fight our battles for us. Let our preaching be done in love. When differences arise, it is not best to harp on them all the time, but labor to see how close together we are. We should overcome evil with good. Let each confess his own faults, get the beam out of his own eye, and "let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from among you, with all malice;" and be kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Can't all true Primitive Baptists do this, and let peace be restored? All make some mistakes. Let us forgive the past, and live for the future. Submitted in love.

You can speak with an actual dentist regarding any questions about their products or procedure. We had an enlightening conversation with a representative about certain details we could not find on their web site. Our inquires were answered in a timely manner and we mad ensure they were sufficient enough to help any consumer with a question or concern.
From our initial inspection of the Supernova whitening kit, it does have similar qualities that many of the other best tray based bleaching kits feature, which is a good indication. Though this kit does lack small benefits, such as the use of plastic-tipped injectors for the gel filled syringes, which lets a small portion of gel go to waste. These are only minor dilemmas, which is the reason this kit received our number 5 ranking. Read the full assessment below for further details...
This program is a great starter kit for first time users compared to more effective, but sometimes complex teeth whitening solutions. Everything you need in a teeth whitening kit is featured in this package, plus other beneficial resources. It was indicated a refund is not attainable and some customers had problems contacting support, two things you may want to consider. Overall, great system for initial bleaching.

Active Ingredient: 22% or 35% Carbamide Peroxide
Results: In as little as two whitening sessions and maximum results for moderately stained teeth in two 2 weeks!
In general, the SuperNova kit received positive feedback, though the complaints we did notice were aimed at the support of NovaWhite as a company. We feel empathetic for the individuals who encountered this problem, but we called support, left a message and were contacted within 20 min's with an actual dentist! We were impressed! We cannot account for the reason in which they didn't answer, but we can confirm they are available during normal business hours. Since this kit uses a strong peroxide based gel, the efficacy factor is very present, along with quick results and the convenience of whitening in your home. Overall, we feel this kit recieved relatively good feedback and ratings.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Roseanne is going to attempt to rise from the ashes of her new status as irrational, often ridiculous blogger to revived sitcom star.
I question Roseanne's current comedic and creative abilities, mostly due to said blogging and also due to the last two seasons of her sitcom, "Roseanne." However, I will give her the complete benefit of the doubt because:
1. "Roseanne"'s first seven seasons created some of the most brilliant, funny, topical, poignant and somehow timeless episodes of television ever made.
2. She's sticking with that show's essential formula: The show is family comedy in which she would play the matriarch.
3. Jim Vallely ("Arrested Development") is attached to pen the script for the project (he wrote 15 AD episodes, including "Pier Pressure" and "Motherboy XXX," two of the series' best).
In celebration and hope of this project, I'll sporadically and in no particular order be posting 10 or 15 of my very favourite episodes of Roseanne.

Implementation COMET in PHP Using Prototype JS and ExtJS
Good Morning:
I would like a recommendation or an example regarding the implementation of Prototype JS with ExtJS 3.3.0 in order to create a Web Application that uses COMET with PHP.
I've developed a Web Application that currently handles PHP Sessions in order to control how many users are logged in the system.
Some users and co-workers have given me some suggestions about clearing user sessions by closing the browser (clicking on the "X") since I have experienced a couple of minor inconveniences with users not finishing their sessions correctly.
I found out a thread response from DaniWeb (http://www.daniweb.com/web-developme...966#post663966) advising the use of COMET.
After reading this response I was able to get an example that uses COMET with PHP using AJAX in order to create a little chat ( http://www.zeitoun.net/articles/comet_and_php/start ). The example uses Prototype JS to establish a communication interface by creating a simple form and having a PHP loop procedure running indefinitely during the whole page load. If you download the sample code and run it in Firefox, you can activate Firebug to confirm the continuous connection to the php script.
Since ExtJS 3.3.0 offers a way to use other JS libraries like Prototype, does anyone can provide me an example or sample code that I can use as a reference to combine both libraries in order to implement COMET?
Any advice or recommendation will be well appreciated.

You would have to create an adapter much like there is one for jquery. Make sure you actually need to use COMETMitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Actually the ExtJS Library that I downloaded includes adapter for jQuery and Prototype. However the examples provided do not include samples using those adapters.
Which other solution would you recommend besides COMET?

Script Review: The Voltron Movie
By Josh Tyler 2008-08-11 18:03:18 comments
The Script: Voltron
The Pitch: Adapted from the animated series Voltron: Defender of the Universe
Written By: Justin Marks 5/23/07
As always, before you begin reading any script review, its wise to remember that this is only a review of one draft of the script. There may be other drafts, it may change, and even if it doesnt a lot can happen between the writing of something and the making of it into the film. Sometimes even the worst scripts can be saved by great acting and direction, and great scripts can be ruined by filmmakers who have no idea what theyre doing. On the other hand, the script for The Mummy 3 was total crap, and so was the movie. Sometimes these things work out as they should.
One thing I can definitely say for Justin Marks Voltron script, is that its a lot better than the script for The Mummy 3. Thats not a bad place to start. On the other hand, my pen broke and leaked ink all over my desk last night, and that was better than The Mummy 3. Ok, thats not really true. I dont actually use pens anymore (in fact lately Ive begun to suspect I no longer know how to write in cursive), thats why I have this lovely keyboard. But you get the point. Its not hard to be better than The Mummy 3.
Marks take on Voltron has already been reviewed by at least one other person online, so youre probably wondering why you should bother paying attention to me. Well, my goal here is going to be to offer you a somewhat different point of view. The last person to review this particular script was over the moon for it, their praise was effusive. I beg to differ. An A+ this is not, but Marks has definitely managed to create something which is, perhaps beyond all expectations when you consider what hes up against with this property, workable. That other script review had one thing right: what hes achieved here is nothing short of a miracle. Not because this is the best script ever written, but because its not the epic disaster a movie made out of Voltron probably ought to be.
Look, I was there in the 80s with the rest of you. I loved the Voltron cartoons. Scratch that, I was nuts for the Voltron cartoons. I lusted after those toys like a Labrador retriever in heat. Voltron was great, and then Power Ranger ruined it. Power Rangers took Voltrons idea, warped it, and showed us all just how stupid, childish, and ridiculous the whole concept was. Power Ranger ruined the idea of men driving around in giant robots, which can fuse together into one super-robot, pretty much forever. Justin Marks cant change that, the idea of guys fighting aliens from the cockpits of robot lions will always be pretty stupid, however hes done the best he could with it. Hes made a massive, summer blockbuster on the order of a slightly dumbed down version of Transformers, the kind movie that will probably star Will Smith, and that everyone will probably enjoy and then instantly forget. Marks has written, tonally at least, the popcorn equivalent Independence Day, and Im not sure what more anyone could have expected from him, given the source material he had to work with.
Whats most surprising is that Marks has accomplished that while remaining fairly faithful to the original Voltron cartoons. I guess he could have ditched some of the particulars of the show, reworked the entire thing from scratch, and maybe come up with an even better script, but then it wouldnt really be Voltron would it? Hes taken the idea, found a way to set it on Earth, kept some of the alien elements, and made an action packed, certain to be CGI-heavy movie out of it. This script reeks of Voltron, the best possible version of Voltron, the only way Voltron would ever work on screen without trashing almost all of it and slapping the name on something similar but entirely different.
The story is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth. It starts there, with no explanation. Thats probably the best thing about what Marks has done with his story. Getting it out of the modern world, and putting it somewhere a little more desperate was a smart move. From the opening credits were wandering around in a world thats a lot like a pull quote from someones review of Escape from New York. Well were in New York, its a Hollywood movie, were always in New York, and this particular New York has, five years ago been decimated by an alien invasion. The alien invasion has taken the form of technological monsters called Robeasts. Robeasts are giant, skyscraper-sized robots which absorb our technology and use it to build themselves. Cut off a Robeasts arm, and itll just suck in all the materials around it and instantly create another one. No one knows why theyre here or why they kicked humanitys ass, and 5 years later it probably doesnt matter.
Our hero is a tattooed up, resourceful dude named Keith Kogan, whos been scrabbling out a survival in the rubble of New York with his buddy Lance. Keith could be played by just about anyone, hes fairly generic, just plug in a white dude with a little attitude and some action ability. Maybe Mark Wahlberg. Lance is specifically described as being black and hes a mechanic of some sort. That other script review suggested Tyrese Gibson, and hes probably a good fit. They start out in a New York ruled by petty gangs squabbling for territory and running for cover whenever a Robeast shows up.
While scavenging around New York in their modified tank, Keith and Lance discover a downed helicopter and run into a gorgeous woman named Allura and her personal bodyguard, a hulking brute named Hunk. Allura has a powerful, sort of ethereal beauty going for her. If they want to spare everyone to death, and if they can get her, maybe theyll cast someone like Gwyneth Paltrow but that would be a big mistake. Theyd be better off with some random, fresh-faced hottie like Blake Lively. Hunk is your standard, silent badass type. Vin Diesel might work or even The Rock.
Those four, Allura, Hunk, Keith, and Lance comprise the films primary cast. They pick up a kid named Pidge along the way, hes your average apocalypse orphan type, but otherwise its those four all the way. Allura and Hunk are on a secret mission of some type, and they convince Keith and Lance to help take them to Mexico with the promise of vital supplies as a reward. Were treated to a journey across a post-apocalyptic landscape, fighting looters and hiding from Robeasts until they arrive at Alluras secret Mexican base. The default comparison for this part of the movie would be to compare it to Road Warrior, but it felt more like a PG version of Resident Evil: Extinction to me.
Eventually they make it south of the border and its there that we find the Voltron lions and learn that Allura is actually carrying the Keys, devices which will power the robot lions theyve been secretly building. Allura meanwhile, is actually an alien from another planet, sent to Earth to help us fight off the alien Drules who have decimated our world.
You can figure out what happens from there. Allura, Hunk, Keith, Lance, and Pidge end up piloting the Lions and eventually forming them together into one mega-robot named Voltron. The moment when the finally form it together is well cheesy. Not that theres any way for it not to be cheesy, it simply is. Its the most anime moment in the entire thing, and when its over you cant shake the feeling that at any minute Voltron might try to win by doing something silly like battling with its heart or worse engaging in a card battle. Once they form Voltron, the movie seems to sort of forget about the people driving it. Its as if Voltron is actually a person, a conceit explained by having the consciousness of the Lion pilots merge together along with their hardware. The last fourth the movie is almost nothing but massive fight scenes, and they dont waste much time in Mexico, hot footing it back to New York to fight the Robeasts with New Yorks overused skyline as a backdrop. There are quick breaks for fights in other cities around the world, its as if someone spins the globe and Voltron lands for one punch in a greatest hits version of the worlds capitals. But this is a Hollywood movie, so its always back to New York.
The fight scenes are entertaining, but fairly standard Godzilla movie style stuff. Giant robots wrecking buildings and ripping off each others limbs. They dont always use logic. Killing the Robeasts is surprisingly easy and in the end, and it never quite makes any sense that worlds military powers were so unable to come up with any defense. Even Voltron after all is, in the context of the script, human technology. Its no more immune to the Robeasts technology absorbing powers than a fighter jet. Yet somehow a Voltron punch does more damage than a rocket or a grenade. Why? Never explained. Its a minor logical gap, but I suppose a necessary one if this thing is going to work. Still, its hard not to read this thing and wonder if there might not have been an easier way to fight these things than by building a giant robot. A couple of SCUD missiles probably would have done the job.
The script works, but its a little silly. Its hard to read it and not think of Power Rangers or compare it to Transformers. This could easily be turned into a PG, family friendly movie. In fact, in the rare instances when someone uses a curse word, it almost seems out of place. Attempts to inject emotional pathos into it, or the reality of death and doom seem almost as if theyre imported in from an entirely different reality. At the end of the day, its still a bunch of giant robots which look like lions being driven around like go carts. Marks does the best he can with it, but theres no getting around the concept which is very very kid oriented. A lot of the robot stuff just never worked for me. Or rather it did in the sense that it felt exactly like the cartoon, but the cartoon stopped being cool when I turned 12.
Justin Marks has written a well put together, well intentioned, incredibly faithful Voltron script using modern sensibilities. But its still a Voltron script. Even with the recent popularity of giant freakin robots, this movie may be twenty years too late. Or maybe itll work as a big, post-apocalyptic Escape from New York meets Power Rangers blockbuster. The script is a solid foundation on which to build, assuming theres anything worth building in the idea of a Voltron movie. The kid inside me hopes there is.

Police Press Conference: Teacher, Campus Supervisor Convinced 16-Year-Old Suspected Taft Union High School Shooter to Put Down His Gun
Donny Youngblood, Kern County Sheriff, held a press conference moments ago to report the latest in the shooting at Taft Union High School in Taft, California.
Youngblood said that the suspect is a 16-year-old student who didn't show up for school this morning. He interrupted a class of 28 students, armed with a shotgun. He then fired the first round, striking another student, who police believe was one of the gunman's intended targets. This 16-year-old is in critical condition. The suspected shooter then tried to shoot a second student, who police say was another intended target, but missed.
The teacher and campus supervisor tried to escort the other students out of the room, at the same time engaging the shooter, who had numerous rounds in his pockets.
At one point, the suspect put his gun down and police were able to take him into custody.
Other Posts You Might Be Interested In:
Sheriff Youngblood spoke about the teacher and campus supervisor's bravery, saying, "To stand there and face someone who has a shotgun who has already discharged it and shot a student, that speaks volumes for these two young men and what they may have prevented."
The teacher received a wound to the head.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Thank you for your question. Please permit me to assist you with your concerns.
This happens to be extortion, or also known as blackmail. When one party attempts to use force, or threat of force to compel another to do something they do not wish to do, that is a crime. In this situation telling you that they will discuss a secret unless you do as they say would violate state law. It is therefore in your best interest to explain to this person that as she is on record with her threats, should she follow through on them, you will consider contacting the police and pursuing charges. That does not in any way remove your obligations to pay her the funds, but she has to use proper means to seek collections--in other words she is free to sue you for the money if she wants, but she cannot threaten to expose you to do it.
Hope that helps.
What would be needed for proof if this was verballl said to me over the phone?
You need some record of the comments, such as a recording or an email. An oral comment, if unheard by other witnesses, simply turns it into a situation where it is your word against hers, and that is not usually enough to bring charges. Perhaps sending her an email with these assertions and getting her to reply would create proof, but just a comment that was not substantiated by anything is likely not enough to pursue charges.
Hope that clarifies.

Update: Shortly after 10:30 p.m. The Abilene Police Department made an arrest near Little Elm Apartments in connection to the shooting, but do not believe the individual is the shooter.
Around 11:00 p.m. the SWAT team was called in to search a house on 5300 block of N. 9th. The shooting happened outside the house that was searched. No one was found inside.
Police are investigating a shooting near North 9th Street and Plaza in North Abilene.
Two children are in the hospital. Authorities say the 12-year-old is in critical condition. They are not releasing the gender of the injured children.
Just after 5:30p.m. Monday afternoon police said two children, who had been shot, arrived at Hendrick Medical Center.
Police and detectives swarmed the neighborhood of N. 9th and Plaza Street about 30 minutes later trying to piece together how the shooting happened.
Officers detained several minors for questioning.
At this point, police are releasing little information about the crime but said shots were fired outside this house on the 5000 block of N. 9th.
"The shots were fired from someone standing out here at the car as it was fleeing the scene," said Sgt. Lynn Beard, with the Abilene Police Department.
Two children, a 12-year-old and 8-year-old who were riding in the back seat were shot.
The 12-year-old is said to be in critical condition. The 8-year-old does not have life threatening injuries.
The adults in the vehicle were taken into police custody.
"At this point we're following several leads, we do not have a suspect in custody. We do not have an identity of one yet. However all of our resources have been deployed to this situation,"said Beard.
Neighbors in this community, who didn't want to go on camera, said this area is prone to violence and drugs.
Monday night, police were focused on finding who is responsible for such an awful crime.
"Anytime there is a child hurt like this,while we work all cases the same, this takes a different emotional toll," said Sgt. Beard.
Police said the last time they remember an incident like this was in January 2007, when 4-year-old Janie De La Paz was killed in a drive by shooting at her home on Mulberry Street.

John Christy Parker 1836-1910
Typed by: John McCartney - at - firstname.lastname@example.com
J. C. PARKER. Farming claims the time and attention of J. C. Parker, who resides on section 31, Hudson township, and - is numbered among the early settlers of LaPorte county. He has always lived in the west, and early became. imbued with its spirit of enterprise and of determination. His birth occurred in Randolph county, Indiana, on. the 7th of November, 1836. His paternal grandfather, Joseph Parker, was a native of New Jersey, and he, too, followed the occupation of farming. His son, John Parker, was born in New Jersey, and there remained until after his marriage.
He wedded Miss Beulah Cramer [Cranmer], who was likewise born, reared and educated in that state. In the year 1833 they came to Indiana, establishing their home in Randolph county, and in 1840 removed to LaPorte county. Here John Parker was engaged in farming for a number of years, but subsequently took up his abode in LaPorte city. In the early days he conducted a hotel at Boot Jack, living there for about thirty years. He became widely known, his hotel being the place of entertainment for all who traveled through this part of the state until the building of the railroad. His life was characterized by industry, and his integrity was above question. He was reared in the faith of the Society of Friends, and many of the sterling principles of that religious sect found exemplification in his life. In politics he was a Whig until the dissolution of the party and then joined the ranks of the Republican party. He lived to be more than eighty-four years of age, while his wife died at the age of sixty-eight years. To. them. were born seven children who reached maturity, while three died in childhood. Only two are now living. J. C. Parker, who is the youngest of the family, was but four years of age at the time of the removal of his parents to LaPorte county, and in Wills township he spent his childhood, thus, enjoying the sports in which lads of that period usually indulged, if his time and attention were not occupied by the duties of the school room or of the fields. Early he began to assist in the operation of the home farm, and gave his father the benefit of his services until about twenty-seven years of age.
He was then married, on the 31st of December, 1863, to Miss Caroline Shaw - lived 1842 - 1907, who was born in Rolling Prairie on the 13th of March 1842, a daughter of Andrew and Nancy (McClellan) Shaw, the former a native of Ireland and the latter of Ohio. They became pioneer settlers of LaPorte county, establishing their home within, its borders about 1833, their place of location, being on Rolling Prairie. At the time of their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Parker located at what; is called Boot Jack in Wills township, but in 1882 he removed his house to section 31, Hudson township. He has added to the building until he now has a commodious, comfortable and attractive residence, in the rear of which stand good and substantial barns, and these in turn are surrounded by well kept fields. The farm comprises one hundred and twenty-five acres, but most of this Mr. Parker now rents in order that he might rest from active labor.
To Mr. and Mrs. Parker have been born five children:
Minnie, now the wife of LeRoy Grover, of Three Oaks, Michigan, by whom she has two sons, John A. and Carroll;
Charles A., of Bradley, Illinois, who married Alta Hewlett and has four children: Arthur, Mary, John O. and Joseph W.;
Lydia Ellen, the wife of Albert Sanborn, of Los Angeles, California, by whom she has one daughter, Ethel B.;
Lynda Annette, the wife of Walter Copeland, of Bradley, Illinois;.
Bessie J., the wife of Clarence Pratt, who is principal of the schools of Union Mills, and by whom she has one daughter, Ruth E.
Mr. Parker has been a resident of LaPorte county for sixty-three years, and Mrs. Parker. has spent her entire life in this county, now covering a period of sixty-one years. They are well known and highly esteemed people, and have reared a family who area credit to their name. They belong to the Christian church, and most of their children are identified with the same religious denomination. Mr. Parker is a. Republican in his political views, .and cast his ballot for Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and again in 1864. Since that time he has never failed to support a Republican candidate for the presidency. In his business career he has been active and honorable, and as the years advanced he gained a comfortable competence through his industry and capable management until he is now enabled to live a retired life, enjoying the fruits of his former toil.
John Christy Parker and his wife are both buried in New Carlisle Cemetery, New Carlisle, Indiana - which is in St. Joseph County, Indiana.
