LOS ANGELES — Bella Swan, James Bond and Abe Lincoln have combined to lift Hollywood to record Thanksgiving revenue at the box office.
Kristen Stewart's finale as Bella in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2" was No. 1 again with $64 million during the five-day holiday stretch that began Wednesday, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Daniel Craig's Bond adventure "Skyfall" came in at No. 2 with $51 million, while Daniel Day-Lewis and Steven Spielberg's Civil War saga "Lincoln" finished third with $34.1 million.
According to box-office tracker Hollywood.com, the three films paced Hollywood to an all-time Thanksgiving week best of about $290 million from Wednesday to Sunday.
That tops the previous record of $273 million over Thanksgiving in 2009, when "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" led the weekend.
This Thanksgiving also was a huge 25 percent jump from a year ago, when domestic revenues were a weak $232 million as some big holiday releases fizzled.
With a strong December lineup ahead, Hollywood has resumed its record revenue pace for the year after a brief box-office lull in late summer and early fall.
Domestic revenues for 2012 are at $9.75 billion, putting Hollywood potentially on track for its first $11 billion year, which would beat the 2009 record of $10.6 billion, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
"We're barreling toward a record-breaking box-office year," Dergarabedian said. "It's built on the back of just a lot of really strong movies that have come out over the past few weekends. It bodes very well for the rest of the holidays."
The "Twilight" finale, "Skyfall" and "Lincoln" finished in the same top-three rankings for the second-straight weekend as new releases were unable to dislodge the holdovers.
Released by Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment banner, "Breaking Dawn — Part 2," pulled in $43.1 million from Friday to Sunday, raising its domestic total to $227 million. The movie added $97.4 million overseas to bring its international total to $350.8 million and its worldwide take to $577.7 million.
Sony's "Skyfall" also topped $200 million domestically, ringing up $36 million for the three-day weekend to put its U.S. total at $221.7 million. With $41.3 million more overseas, "Skyfall" raised its international revenues to $568.4 million and its worldwide sales to $790.1 million.
"Lincoln," a DreamWorks film distributed by Disney, took in $25 million over the weekend to lift its domestic revenue to $62.2 million.
Leading the newcomers was Paramount and DreamWorks Animation's tale "Rise of the Guardians" at No. 4 with $24 million for the weekend and $32.6 million since opening Wednesday.
Based on William Joyce's "Guardians of Childhood" books, "Rise of the Guardians" gathers Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and other mythical beings as a team of heroes battling an evil overlord.
Close behind at No. 5 was director Ang Lee's shipwreck saga "Life of Pi" at No. 5 with $22 million over the weekend. The 20th Century Fox release has taken in $30.2 million domestically since its Wednesday debut and added $17.5 million in four Asian markets.
"Life of Pi" was adapted from Yann Martel's best-selling novel about an Indian youth adrift on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. Many fans considered the introspective novel impossible to film, but Lee has charmed audiences and critics with an inspiring survival story told through dazzling 3-D images.
The weekend's other new wide release, a remake of the 1980s U.S.-invasion tale "Red Dawn," opened at No. 7 with $14.6 million, raising its total to $22 million since debuting Wednesday.

Water For Elephants Trailer Online
Pattinson! Witherspoon! Waltz! Dumbo!
The first trailer for romantic drama Water for Elephants, featuring Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz, has arrived online over at Apple.
Adapted from Sara Gruen's best-selling novel by Richard LaGravenese, Water finds Pattinson in non-sparkly but still love-triangley territory as he plays Jacob (no, not that one), a veterinary student who joins up with a travelling circus to look after their animals.
There, he meets the beautiful and talented Marlena (Witherspoon) star performer and wife of ringmaster August (Waltz). Soon – who'd a thunk it? – Jacob is falling for Marlena and discovering that August has at least two sides to him: one charismatic and caring, the other brutal and unforgiving. The events play out in the memory of the older Jacob (Hal Holbrook), who recounts his life to the manager of a circus that he visits.
This represents something of a gear change for director Francis Lawrence, who has usually been found making horror/action thrillers such as Constantine and I Am Legend. But it certainly looks like it'll offer plenty to those that crave a twinkly romance, some strings on the soundtrack, animals to gush over and Christoph Waltz being alternately charming and terse. Oh, and that Pattinson fella, who we understand has a bit of a following.
Water for Elephants rolls into the UK on April 22. Meanwhile, watch the trailer at Apple and let us know whether you think this'll be Pattinson's big break away from Bella and co.

Monaco GP: Tyre and Pit Stop Strategy
Mercedes finally made good on their qualifying promise to claim the teams' maiden win of the season. A flawless drive from pole to chequered flag saw Nico Rosberg take the second win of his career, finishing ahead of Vettel and Webber who took the remaining podium positions. This was a race where safety car intervention and tyre strategy played an equal role in the final result.
As always, there are winners and losers when a safety car is deployed; the timing the the first, just after the initial round of planned stops, was crucial in determining the final result. Indeed, with overtaking proving difficult at this circuit, Hamilton's drop from second to fourth saw the top four order fixed until the end.
In terms of durability, there seemed little to choose between the compounds on offer with most opting for a one stopper; Vergne managed a 38 lap stint with the supersoft whilst Di Resta drove one lap less on the softs.

Art Noveau sul Passeig de Gràcia
L'Hotel Jazz, nel centro di Barcellona, rappresenta il punto di partenza ideale per visitare tutta la città.
1 Hotel Jazz
This tour takes you on an exciting journey up the Passeig de Gràcia. Approximately 1 hour and 30-45 minutes.
2 Piazza Catalunya
Plaza Catalunya is one of Barcelona's biggest and most central plazas. Its surface spans almost 5 hectares, and it constitutes the default meeting spot in the old city (Ciutat Vella) and the Eixample. All major roads lead to Plaza Catalunya, including the Rambla, the Passeig de Gràcia, Rambla de Catalunya, Ronda Universitat, Ronda Sant Pere, and Pelai street.
The Plaza also stands out for its numerous sculptures, designed by prominent artists, and spread around the perimeter of the space. Among those on display are pieces by Diosa, Josep Clarà, Pablo Gargallo, Josep Llimona, and Enrique Casanova. Josep Maria Subirachs' monument to Francesc Macià, of 1991, is the most recent addition to the Plaza's artistic showcase.
3 Passeig de Gràcia
Passeig de Gràcia is Barcelona's main boulevard, and one of the world's most famous public avenues, due to its rich cultural heritage, unbeatable shopping sites, business destinations, and architectural masterpieces by Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
It is also home to Barcelona's most luxurious shopping destinations, hosting stores of international renown such as Armani, Burberry, Chanel, Cartier, Dolce & Gabbana, Escada, Gucci, Hermés, Loewe, Louis Vuiton, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, and Tous.

5 Casa Batlló
This work by Antoni Gaudí is essentially a full-blown remodeling of an older construction by Emili Sala Cortés. It was restored in 1970 and 1999, and in 1984, it was re-wired to feature electric exterior lighting. It was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 2005.
6 Casa Amatller
Probably the second-most important building on the Paseo de Gracia, and sitting adjacent to the Batlló and the Casa Lleó Morera, the Amatller was designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and built between the years 1898 and 1900. Together, the three buildings form what is known today as the "Block of Discord."
The building was a commission by the chocolate-maker Antoni Amatller, and was rendered to represent a sort of urban gothic palace, with a flat façade, a central patio, and a staircase leading to the main rooms.
6 La Pedrera
La Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera (which means 'quarry' in Catalan), is the work of Antoni Gaudí. It was built between 1906 and 1910 upon the commission of Pere Milà i Camps and Roser Segimon i Artells. Gaudí counted on the close collaboration of his two assistants, Domènec Sugrañes and Josep Canaleta, as well as the builder Josep Bayó i Font, for the construction of this remarkable structure.
Casa Milà was declared a Historical-Artistic Monument of National Character in 1969, and a Unesco World Heritage site in 1984.

Winston Churchill's racehorse is up at Levenger Downs!
Okay, "Levenger Downs" may be a stretch, but Winston Churchill's racehorse Colonist II is, indeed, at Levenger. We commissioned the British sculptor Jon Bickley to create a miniature sculpture of Churchill's racehorse, which we made into a bookend.
Jon's sculpture is faithful down to the fencepost on which is propped the hat Churchill wore at the track, and that you see in the photograph of Churchill with Colonist II that's featured on the bookend.
And since this is Winston Churchill, the base of the bookend features one of Churchill's famously witty quotes. We had Churchill historian Richard Langworth vet the quote, so you're assured these are words Churchill actually uttered.
You can see a pictorial rendering of Churchill as a young soldier, sitting astride a horse, in our exclusive Levenger Press book, The Happy Warrior. The book is a facsimile of England's famous Eagle Comics strip from the 1950s, which presented a Churchill biography in comic book form. The Happy Warrior was a graphic novel ahead of its time.
And as unusual as this biography of Winston Churchill is, it's also accurate. Once again, we asked Richard Langworth to put his expert Churchillian eye to each page, to ensure that it was.

What happened to AT&T and the venerable Bell Laboratories?
I know some of you will look at this question and say – AT&T is still around, I keeping seeing ads for all sorts of AT&T stuff. Isn't it the largest cellular carrier?
Well, the answer is of course yes, but I'm actually talking about the original AT&T, the one that invented telephony. The company who, with its research arm Bell Laboratories invented the transistor, the laser, the Unix operating system, and color television, just to name a few.I spent the first 10 years of my career at Bell Laboratories and AT&T in Holmdel, New Jersey.
I started at Bell Labs right after something called divestiture. This was an event which ended years of antitrust lawsuits. The result was that all of the local telephone companies were spun off into seven large regional holding companies.
AT&T kept long distance and the telephone equipment business and was allowed to enter into the computer business.
As I look back, one of the things that amazes me is that AT&T during the late 1980s and early 1990s had the strategy nailed, but failed execution caused a once mighty company to collapse, only to be reborn through the transformation from one of its original, Baby Bell offspring.
During the 80s and 90s, long distance revenue per minute, due to the competitive entrance of MCI and Sprint, was on a decline. Without control of the access pipe, AT&T embarked on a spending spree with the goals of extending its equipment business and replacing access the customer access lost with the divestiture of the Baby Bells.
On the equipment side, AT&T acquired NCR for computers and Paradyne for modems, to name a few. On the customer access side, TCI was acquired for cable television access and Craig McCaw's Cellular One was acquired for cellular service.
The concept was to rebuild the Bell System with cellular, cable TV and data communications.
Internally there was a belief that data would replace voice and cellular could someday replace wires.
Unfortunately, AT&T overpaid for everything. The computer side was a flop and NCR ended up being spun out again. In an effort to focus more energy on the network, the rest of the equipment business was spun out into what became Lucent Technologies. Bell Laboratories was split up, most of it going to Lucent. Lucent collapsed after the telecom bubble burst and was picked up by France based Alcatel.
Most of the old Bell Labs buildings, including my old office in Holmdel are now empty shells.
Nonetheless, the amazing thing here is that one could argue that AT&T still had the right strategy. With a dominant share of both the cable television footprint and cellular footprint, the area was ripe for unbelievable growth. For reasons that I still don't quite understand, other than a lack of capital and mounting debt, AT&T had to sell off cable television to Comcast and sold the cellular business to Cingular, a joint venture between SBC and Bell South. All that was left was the data and voice network.
During this time, SBC, one of the seven regional operating companies spun off by AT&T during divestiture, had been growing through acquisitions of its own.
After acquiring sister Baby Bells Ameritech, Pacific Telesis and Bell South, it finally acquired the old AT&T for its backbone network.
In one swoop, SBC renamed itself AT&T (note the use of lower case letters in the logo) and Cingular became AT&T wireless again.
A part of the bell system had been rebuilt, with headquarters in Texas instead of New Jersey. In the same line of course, Comcast, in addition to television, offers internet service and voice telephone service.
I wonder how it would have turned out had AT&T been able to execute on the original vision.

A year after a landscaping scandal led to the retirement of a longtime university leader, Mississippi State University is looking to improve the ethical culture on campus with ethics and integrity initiatives.
The initiatives include increased employee training, the creation of a third-party reporting system and a new whistle-blower policy.
Last fall, Mississippi State was rocked by allegations that its interim president, Vance Watson, had authorized the misuse of MSU resources and personnel for landscaping work at then-Higher Education Commissioner Tom Meredith's home.

Reduce your runoff quantity AND improve your water quality!
Join Glenn Herold and Chuck Taylor for a FREE live and on-demand webinar exploring how to reduce your urban stormwater runoff, and improve your water quality through the effective design and maintenance of permeable pavement interlocking concrete paver (PICP) systems.
In this webcast, we'll start by outlining the key components, specifications, and best management practices in PICP system design, construction, and maintenance, as well as outline the main differences between the primary five types of pervious pavement surfaces. Within this discussion, we'll also explore how to modify your system design to accommodate changes based on site soil conditions (e.g., sand, silt, and clay).
Additionally, Herold and Taylor will tackle the adverse environmental effects of urban runoff and how we can counter these (both in quantity AND quality) with a PICP system. Within our discussion ofreducing runoff quantity, we'll demonstrate how to develop a site specific Curve Number based on the system design so you can apply traditional modeling methods. And, in terms of improving water quality, we'll outline the use of different treatment mechanisms that are both intrinsic to, and supplementary of, permeable pavement. Finally, Herold and Taylor will outline the best practices for preventative and remedial maintenance (including costs) to ensure the successful long-term performance of your PICP system.
Learning Objectives
Attendees can expect the discussion and education of the following learning objectives:
- Learn about the five primary types of pervious pavement surfaces,
and the associated pros and cons
- Learn how pervious pavement system design can be modified to
accommodate any native soil type and climatic condition
- Learn how to develop a site specific Curve Number based on
the system design to enable use of traditional modeling methods
- Learn about the recommended preventative and remedial
maintenance requirements to ensure long term performance

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 3, Episode 19 Spoilers: What to Expect From "A Curious Thing"
We have the Wicked Witch of the West, but what about Glinda, the Good Witch? On Once Upon a Time Season 3, Episode 19 ("A Curious Thing"), we'll finally get to meet the other powerful woman from Oz. About time!
What else can we expect from this episode? We've gathered all of the biggest hints, sneak peeks, and spoilers about the episode right here.
Official Synopsis
First, let's start with the official synopsis of the episode:
Zelena threatens to kill Henry if Hook — whose lips have been cursed by the Wicked Witch — doesn't proceed with kissing Emma, which will drain all of her magical powers away, and things begin to heat up between Regina and Robin Hood. Meanwhile, back in the Fairy Tale Land that was during the past year, Snow and Charming go in search of Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, to see if she can help them defeat Zelena, and the curse that will ultimately send the Fairy Tale characters back to Storybrooke is cast — but from an unlikely source.
Hook's Choice
Sounds like Hook is between a rock and a hard place. In this sneak peek of the episode, we see Zelena deliver her message: If Hook hasn't kissed Emma before Snow's baby is born, Zelena is going to go after Henry.
In the promo we see that Zelena has gotten her hands on Henry, so we have to assume that Hook doesn't deprive Emma of her powers — or doesn't do it fast enough for Zelena's liking, anyway.
Let's Talk Glinda
Glinda will be played by Sunny Mabrey, and we can expect an interesting twist on the classic character. Apparently when we meet her she'll be emerging from years of isolation, which has made her lonely and cautious. That said, she's also "elegant, wise, and benevolent," as well as "clever and shrewd." Sounds like a good person for the Charmings to get on their side!
Are you looking forward to this episode? Who do you think cast the curse? Let us know in the comments below.
Catch this episode of Once Upon a Time on Sunday, April 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

NEW YORK (AP) - H. Ross Perot is again getting down to brass tacks - this time in print.
The 82-year-old Texas billionaire and former presidential candidate has a deal with Simon & Schuster for his autobiography, scheduled to come out in January. The publisher announced Tuesday that Perot's book is called "Ross Perot: My Life."
Perot's previous books include "Ross Perot: My Life & the Principles for Success" and "United We Stand," a campaign book published in 1992.
Known for such folksy expressions as "Let's get down to brass tacks," Perot was among the most successful third-party candidates in history. In 1992, he received nearly 19 percent of the vote in a race won by Democrat Bill Clinton.

SCORING STREAK ALIVE AT 166: The Washington State Cougars have scored in a record 166 straight games. The current streak started with a 16-14 win over Ball State in the fourth game of the 1984 season and came on the heels of a 44-0 blanking at the hands of Ohio State.

PAC-10 SCORING STREAK AT 181: In addition to having scored in 166 consecutive games, WSU also has scored in 181 straight Pac-10 Conference games, by far the longest active scoring streak in the league...the last time WSU was shut out in a Pac-10 game was Oregon State's 7-0 win in 1975 at Corvallis.
COUGS STINGY IN FIRST QUARTER: WSU's defense has allowed 286 first quarter points in the last 68 games (4.21/quarter) over the past six years...WSU allowed 41 first-quarter points in 1993, 29 in 1994, 45 in 1995, 43 in 1996, 48 in 1997 and 87 in 1998.

MIKE PRICE AMONG WSU'S BEST: Only one Washington State football coach with tenure of five years or longer at WSU put together a better record than Mike Price...Price, in his 10 seasons at WSU, is 56-57-0 (.496), while his career mark is now 102-101-0...Babe Hollingbery was 93-53-14 (.625) during his 1926-42 (17 years) tenure...Price's record is the best at WSU in the last 50 years for coaches with a tenure of three or more years...Price's 56 wins at WSU ranks second to Hollingbery's 93...Jim Walden is third on the victory list at 44.
NOTHING LIKE HOME: The Washington State Cougars love to play at home and after looking at the team's home and away records during Mike Price's 10-year tenure, it's easy to see why teams don't enjoy their trips to Pullman...Price at home has a 32-21 record, including a 26-12 mark the past seven years...on the road, WSU is 24-36...WSU's 6-0 home record in 1997 is the best ever for the Cougars, who previously had never won six home games in one year:

SCHEDULING: Coaches often talk about whom an upcoming opponent faces the week before or the week after the two teams collide...here's a look at WSU opponents and whom they play before and after meeting the Cougars:

WSU-WASHINGTON CONNECTION: Three members of WSU's football roster have brothers who have or are playing at Washington...Cougar Ing Aleaga's brother Ink was a standout 1994-95-96, while Russell Mizin's brother is a senior this season...in addition Torry Hollimon's brother Trent played at Washington 1994-95...Jesse Nicassio, a freshman with the Cougars this season, has a brother, Josh, who is at ASU...both are placekickers.
RECORDS: Several Cougar records were broken or tied in 1998, including: Nian Taylor and Steve Birnbaum teamed up on a 97-yard pass and run play against Idaho...Taylor caught three TD passes against Idaho to tie the WSU record...Dee Moronkola returned five kickoffs a school record 211 yards against Oregon...Moronkola also tied a WSU record with two KO returns for scores (91 at Boise State, 88 against Oregon)...Paul Mencke's six interceptions against USC tied a WSU one-game record...Rian Lindell tied a WSU record when he booted four field goals at Boise State...Kevin Brown set a record for sophomore running backs with 1,046 yards.
PAC-10 PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: Kareem Anderson was named the Pac-10 Conference's special teams player of the week once and Nian Taylor was offensive player of the week once in 1998.
WSU NEAR THE TOP AND BOTTOM IN TURNOVERS: Washington State forced 23 turnovers in 1998, 11 fumbles and 12 interceptions...that ranks the Cougars 42nd nationally in taking the ball away from the opponent...however, WSU's 40 turnovers was the most in NCAA Div. I...WSU's turnover margin was -1.55 per game to rank in a tie for 111th nationally.
INTERCEPTIONS GO THE OTHER WAY: Washington State quarterbacks threw 25 interceptions last fall, well short of the school record 36 in 1970, but the errant passes were costly, nonetheless...opponents returned six of the interceptions for touchdowns...WSU does not have a record for interceptions returned for touchdowns, but the total could well be the most ever against the Cougars.
RIAN LINDELL: In an attempt to break out of a seven-game slump, Rian Lindell reported to camp 10 pounds lighter than last year...he weighed in this fall at 231 pounds and the result has been a much more accurate kicker for the Cougs...last year Rian Lindell booted four field goals at Boise State to tie the WSU one-game record, made seven straight to close out the 1997 season and seven straight earlier in 1998 during a 14-for-15 string of kicks...then, over the final seven games last year, he made just one of nine attempts, a 34 yarder against UCLA...three of those eight misses were blocked...overall he was 8-of-17 last season, making 8-of-12 inside 40 yards and 1-for-5 outside 40 yards...as a sophomore he made 12-of-17 field goals...in two varsity seasons he has hit 82 of his 85 PAT attempts and 20-of-34 field goals...inside 40 yards he has made 15-of-20, but at 40 yards or longer, he is 5-of-14.
ST. LOUIS CONNECTION: Don't be surprised if there is a class reunion Saturday on the Martin Stadium turf before the WSU-Utah kickoff...Cougar quarterback Jason Gesser and four members of the Utah team are all from St. Louis School in Honolulu, Hawaii...the Utes from St. Louis are Anthony and Darnell Arceneaux, Wes Tufaga and Sean Souza...both Anthony Arceneaux and Souza are freshmen who played with Gesser two seasons ago.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Two sets of brothers have pleaded not guilty to charges in connection with the shooting death and attempted robbery of a suburban Cleveland tavern owner.
The men entered pleas Thursday in a Cleveland courtroom.
Twenty-six-year-old Devonne Turner, 23-year-old Brandon Jones and 21-year-old Darien Jones are charged with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and aggravated burglary. Turner's brother, 24-year-old Paul Turner, is charged with tampering with evidence, obstructing justice and possession of a firearm as a convicted felon.
None of the defendants' attorneys returned calls.
Cleveland Heights police arrested the four men within days of the June 30 shooting. Brandon Jones had been working for slain owner Jim Brennan for about a month.
The Cleveland Heights police chief has told reporters that all four confessed to their roles in the slaying.

How to Break in Hiking Boots
When hiking, either for short or extended periods of time, the comfort of your footwear is crucial to how much you enjoy the hike itself. If blisters or sore areas develop on your feet due to your hiking boots, it can effectively ruin a trip. Read the following article to learn how to break in hiking boots, which will greatly reduce the likelihood of foot-related discomfort.
1Plan your hiking trip and the purchase of equipment well in advance.
- Depending on the make, model and material of the shoes, it might take anywhere from a week to a month to effectively break in hiking boots.
2Allow yourself enough time to thoroughly break your shoes in before using for an extended period of time.
3Purchase hiking boots carefully taking the time to choose the brand, model and material that best fits your foot and hiking purposes.
4Avoid purchasing hiking boots online as it's crucial that you are able to try them on and see how well they fit your feet.
- After trying the hiking boots on in person, consider gathering feedback from sales associates and/or customer reviews to determine the general level of comfort and quality offered by the shoes.
5Break in new boots slowly with short, quick hikes.
- This can include wearing the hiking boots while walking around the house, mowing the lawn or taking short walks around the block. Take progressively longer and more difficult hikes as the shoes permit.
6Don't try to break in your hiking boots by hiking for long periods as this will likely result in blisters or sore places on your feet.
7Bend the sole of the boot by holding the boot in your hands and gently working the sole back and forth.
8Don't be so vigorous or rough, however, that you damage the shoe.
9An overly stiff sole is a major cause of foot pain and blisters. Ensuring your sole is softened helps alleviate these problems. You can also perform squats while wearing the boots. This will also loosen the sole.
10Break in hiking boots according to the specific boots you've purchased.
11The process of breaking in hiking boots is about softening the materials enough that they don't rub or bother your feet. For that reason, lighter hiking boots will require less breaking in than heavy boots, and leather hiking boots will take a particularly long time to break in. Keep this in mind when determining if your shoes are hike-ready.
Community Q&A
Answered QuestionsAdd New Question
Ask a Question
- When breaking the boots in, wear the socks that you would wear on the trail or hike. This ensures your foot molds to the shoe most accurately.
- Shoes that are uncomfortable from the start will not get more comfortable, even if properly broken in. At most, the shoes should simply feel stiff. Be wary of any toe pinching, heel slipping or other pain. These are indicators of a poorly fitting hiking boot.
- Wear boots that are suited to your particular hiking trip. Consider factors such as the number of days of hiking and the terrain. For example, trekking over sharp, uneven rocks will require a different hiking shoe than those worn on flat dirt.
- Don't forget to lace up your boots tightly and neatly, as you would when hiking. Any creases that set in the material while breaking the boots in are likely to remain for the life of the boot.
Things You'll Need
- New hiking boots
- Hiking socks

Ex-W.Va. governor celebrates Digital Learning Day
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Former Gov. Bob Wise is back in West Virginia to celebrate Digital Learning Day.
Wise is president of the Washington, D.C.-based Alliance for Excellent Education. He'll be at Mountainview Elementary today to recognize the school that inspired what is now an international event.
Digital Learning Day celebrates teachers and the effective use of technology in classrooms.
In 2010, Mountainview held a No Paper, No Pencils Day to encourage the use of interactive and digital, technology-based activities.
The first Digital Learning Day was held last February, with nearly 2 million participants. The next is Feb. 6, 2013.
Wise says he's eager to show the children how their original thinking stretched around the globe.
He says they've shown that there are no limits to how far a good idea can go.

hi folks,
I just got the AN 225 from avsim this morning and crashed 7 times on ILS landing... I got pissed and landed her manually - successful. the big difference was, that I went down to 200 feet above ground, kept altitude for the last 500-600 feet and then got her down - the glidepath seems to be too steep for her...
has anybody here landed her using the autopilot? is there any hint for that or shall I just keep trying (or keep landing her manually )?
second question: I didn't get any parking position assigned, how can I solve that issue?

But now onto the interesting stuff. This may be old news to many of you, as it was really a clarification for me and applies to how energy and consciousness moves through the eternal fractal matrix.
As we know, all things are one. Within the one there exists both the infinite and the finite and they are in simulteneous relationships. These are not opposites. Infinite and Finite co-exists. The one fractalises into many divisions which are further divided and further and so on. At a particular dimensional depth a veil or octave is created. We would perceive this a singulairity, i.e. a black hole in the galaxy. These also exist within the atom, heart and pineal of animals and people.
Within the black hole a new fractal dimensions divides itself down, again and again infinitely.
Now consciousness resides within the fractal matrix. It is a part of it and flows through it. The resonant energies of the one, harmoniously flow through the eternal matrix giving birth to all life, consciousness and form.
Therefore saying.. 1 dimensional, or 2 dimensional.. is really only relative to our "octave" or area within the fractal matrix level we currently occupy with consciousness. So this table is relative to us.. But also fractalises inward and outward.. As I understand it their are 8 divisions with 9th being the 1st of the next octave.
1st - Atomic atomic structures as one are part of molecules
2nd - Molecular/Cellular as one are part of life forms
3rd - Integrated Personal Life Forms as one are part of planetary spheres)
4th - Planetary spheres as one are part of solar systems
5th - Solar Systems as one are part of galaxies
6th - Galaxies as one are part of Universes.
7th - Universes as one are mart of Multiverse
8th - Multiverses as one part of Neo-Atomic
9th = 1st Neo-Atomic
At the heart of each of these dimensions is a singularity, or "black hole" which draws energy inward (like gravity) and radiates energy outward like magnetic EMF.
Thus this scale is not linear, but fractal. Each singularity ajoins the other like a tunnel to the neighbouring dimensions. Eg. When you go into meditation and go within, you can either travel into the molecular dimension through the heart singularity or into the planetary through the Pineal singularity. These are like gateways/portals. This also ties us together, showing we are not separate but one. For all our pineal gateways are the also the planetary gateway. Just as all our many cellular gateways are also the one heart gateway and from the cellular we can then access the atomic and so on.. You can see all these gateways that exist within our octave. Each are linked in their respective order.
So right now, most people are 3rd and 4th Dimensional. Our consciousness spans 3 or 4 dimensions. Anyone who is or has experienced planetary consciousness, or is attuned to global oneness is CONSCIOUSLY resonating across 4 dimensions. Being human means spanning 3 dimensions. (Atomic, Molecular and Personal). Higher consciousness is across more dimensions. Spanning the 4th gives rise to all the spiritual abilities. It is how we commune with higher energies, each other, intuition, etc etc. We are not always aware of this. Our "aware" consciousness is only a fraction of our over all conscious activity. So building awareness is really wonderful because it opens you up to experiencing what is going on, this cultivates joy and bliss.
5th Dimensional means you are now reaching into the solar realm. You are consciously spanning multiple dimensions and able to shift focus into the solar realm and access the galactic energies. You could say your consciousness is literally expanding into the fractal matrix, in awareness. Your consciousness then acts as a "channel" and energy can flow through the dimensions. The more you expand the more in alignment you are required to be.. the more "crystalline" your energy matrix must be or the energy will not flow and connection will not be maintained. As this energy flows it further defines and organises into ordered space/form, following natural sacred geometric laws. The right structure provides a resistance-free flow of energy. The wrong structure will result in resistance, and either blockages will form or the resistance will be burnt off and the system will self correct. Blockages can also channel the energy elsewhere. Blockages do have their purpose to direct energies.
5th Dimensional consciousness playground is the galaxy. The lightship Merkavah Vehicle is an expression of conscious manifestation. Singularity worm holes can then be used to traverse the inner and outer galaxy.
As you expand in consciousness and awareness in higher dimensions, you can now direct and work with the energy. Some people use the 3rd dimension as a spring board into the higher dimensions moving only their consciousness. This is also akin to what happens in the death-rebirth cycle. Your spirit goes out, sheds its astral baggage that is resistant to the flow, and goes through the re-incarnation cycle. What also happens during an out of body experiences is that a part of your consciousness travels through the matrix, the rest remains in body, this is a temporary trip. However, once the awareness expands through these dimensions you can channel the energy through your lower dimensions, and create a "rainbow bridge" of sorts. Aligning the Solar, Planetary, Pineal/Heart, Cellular, Atomic portals equates to a 5th Dimensional Being. In this being the energy can then flow through and energies all dimensions. This gives rise to the ability to transfer all aspects of matter and consciousness through the matrix time and space. This is an evolutionary leap into a new way of being.
9th Dimensional is complete in-tune-ment with all that is.
All this is both happening of its own accord through the higher consciousness, just as your heart beats without your awareness. It is happening anyway. However at this level beyond 3rd, awareness is required to proceed. As moving further without awareness would open up the consciousness to too much energy to handle. This would have dramatic ramifications to the whole fabric of space time. Just think of the devastation that is caused during an atomic blast, as great rifts and dimensions are de-materialised sending infinite loops of destructive waves through the matrix. Think of having the capacity to shift energy streams with the strength of the earth and sun behind the thought.
This is why consciousness only gets to experience this creative capacity when it has come into full awareness of its interconnectedness, both of unconditional love for the inner and outer reality as a reflection of one and the same (oneness). This is a complete and unconditional love. An aware being in complete love would never take action to destroy itself. However it may take action to unblock an energy barrier that is disrupting the flow of energy through the matrix. This can sometimes appear as destructive forces if viewed from the perspective of the barrier.
We can relate this to ourselves, our lives and our children. As we are manifestors of our beliefs (core beliefs) we need to investigate and shine awareness on these belief structures that enforce separateness.
A natural response to pain and suffering is to separate ourselves form it. Right from the point of birth we experience this pain and separateness. However this is quickly patched up, as we develop, we re-form the family unit bond with our parents. The child perceives itself as part of the parents. This is often expressed when families break down, the child feels partly or wholly responsible. After all itsnt it part of the family?
Events occur in childhood and our developing life, as our critical analytical thinking develops, we start to infuse beliefs of separateness into our way of life. We may experiences sever pain growing up, subjected on us from peers and people we may have loved (conditionally). This pain enforces more separateness. And we build up fears to help us avoid pains in the future as a self protective mechanism.
We can unlearn these things as quickly as we learnt them. We can undo beliefs as quickly as they were formed, and in the light of awareness this can be done even faster. Because the truth is we are not separate. And that truth when supported expresses itself in a powerful manner, it wants to be unveiled. And healing wants to take place. The memory of pain may remain, but we no longer separate ourself from it. We forgive, accept and bring a new level of understanding to the situation. This is where dealing with the shadow aspects of the self, and repairing fragmentation is required.
Just like the great pyramids, over time, the rumblings of the earth have shaken their foundations, and slowly they have deteriorated. Their once pure geometric form channelled pure pranic energies, now in their deteriorated fragmented state, their capacity to channel energy is severely diminished.
Unconditional love, when felt, experienced and emanated, organises and repairs the geo-metetric matrix of life, facilitating the natural flow of these energies. (Consider the PHI Love wave demonstrated by the Heart Math institute) Devices like the Pyramids, and other atlantean based technologies can be utilised to create congruent spaces, or tap into this natural flow. However without the awareness behind it, this artificial means of accessing the energies is limited and brief. They can be used to assist in entraining the living individual into the living whole, or they can be used to steer theses energies into destructive forces. Both have occurred in the history.
When the densities of energy increases, I.e. more energy flowing through the same time/space, as it is now, the matrix under the influence of this energy flow must organise itself into a congruent pathway, the grid must self organise. Consciousness plays a part in this. Thought forms blocking and severing the grid must be removed or washed away to enable the energy flow to take place. Low dimensional consciousness just adapts intuitively. This is why following your intuition will suffice help, you can also accelerate the process by attuning yourself using spiritual practices. In fact many people will intuitively be drawn to practices that help them clear their own personal blockages. As always fear of change can override this intuition. Wanting to hold onto old blocking energies, wanting to remain in duality etc.
Thus one can see the importance of forgivenesses and acceptance, as well as one ability to overcome fears and separateness caused by pain. The value of unconditional love can not be stressed enough for the greatest expansive springboard into higher states of consciousness.
Enjoy! Love! Shine!

Lieberman tells reporters in Moscow that other countries in region, world should be concerned about Islamic republic's nuclear program but should not expect Israel to solve problem for them
Associated Press
Published: 06.03.09, 13:19 / Israel News
Associated Press
But he said those countries should not expect Israel to solve the problem for them.
"We do not intend to bomb Iran, and nobody will solve their problems with our hands," he told reporters. "We don't need that. Israel is a strong country, we can protect ourselves.
"But the world should understand that the Iran's entrance into the nuclear club would prompt a whole arms race, a crazy race of unconventional weaponry across the Mideast that is a threat to the entire world order, a challenge to the whole international community," he said. "So we do not want a global problem to be solved with our hands."
The comments appeared to be a slight softening from recent statements made by Netanyahu's government that have suggested Israel might be forced to take military action against Iran.
Netanyahu has repeatedly said Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, and has refused to rule out the use of force.
After his recent meeting
in Washington with President Barack Obama, Netanyahu said he and the US president agreed Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons, and attempts to solve the problem through negotiations could not be unlimited in time.
Iran, whose president has expressed hatred of Israel, maintains its nuclear programs are only designed to provide electricity. But Israel, the United States and other nations fear the effort is aimed at acquiring nuclear weapons.
While in Moscow, Lieberman met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and others.

Let people know you aren't randomly hitting strangers up for "likes" to pad your numbers. We all get hit up for likes on facebook daily. How do you get yours to stand out from the throng? By going the extra mile to be personal, warm and friendly.
If you're hitting up other professional peers let them know what you're after. Tell them you'd appreciate their feedback, or you'd love for them to keep you in mind if they have a client that isn't in their niche. Tell them what your niche is up front. Don't make them dig for it on your page.
Strike Two: Oopsy, you didn't you thank the last person you invited to like your page with a note of appreciation for the vote of confidence?
People are more likely to be engaged and keep you in mind if they get kudos and appreciation from you. We all love to be loved, so keep the love coming! Plus, it's the nice thing to do. Don't drop the ball after you get what you want. Keep the conversation going and show others just how generous you are.
Strike Three: Eek, you didn't offer to like their professional facebook page/ blog back? Or ask about their niche?
Have your primed the pump before you even sent the like? Did you talk to them and establish a relationship first?
If it's a peer in your profession did you make sure to find out what their niche was so you could promote and refer clients to them? Did you ask about their professional page or blog so you could like it back? Don't make yourself look like a freeloader only out for numero uno. Be a team player. If they scratch your back, show you're willing to reciprocate.
If it's a friend or family member when was the last time you actually called, had coffee or just chatted to catch up, no sales involved? Is it going to seem like you only show up when you want something? Ick! No one likes that, so take some time to talk with people before you hit them up, and ask what you can do for them.
The bottom line here: before you can call in favors, you need people to owe you some favors. The only way you'll get that is by keeping in touch and asking questions so you know what you can do for them!

I started riding on the road in 2nd grade, along the Tamiami Trail in Florida. Then it was the main road down the Gulf Coast. It taught me to ride straight and to stay on the right of the white line.
The next big influence on my riding was Los Angeles. As a college student, riding 10-30 miles a day and influenced by California Traffic laws and Bicycling Magazine, I started using left turn lanes and positioning my bike according to the laws of California.
All of Florida was flat, and most of LA. But the Baldwin Hills, Palos Verdes Peninsula, and the Hollywood Hills taught me how to ride them. Back then I was very competitive. If I saw a bicycle ahead, the hunt/kill switch flipped and I would pursue them and overtake them. The foolishness of youth.
I've lived all around Southern California, from Santa Barbara, LA, San Diego and Palm Springs. San Diego was the most challenging because of its canyon and mesa topography.
But now I'm in Little Rock, AR. It's the toughest yet. Not many major hills, but if I ride 8 miles into downtown, its a roller coaster of 60' hills all the way in. The roads are narrow and potholed. There are only 3 roads in. One is a path along the river but wanders so it's longer, one goes straight in but is the worst road, and a third goes in from the south through some sketchier neighborhoods, but with a better road surface.
Most of my riding is commuting, shopping or getting to town for events. I tend to ride conservatively. Mostly a non-vc style developed in my youth on the Tamiami Trail. But its been successful. I ride to enjoy the view and my thoughts more than I ride to race.

The employee of an insured may not be sued in negligence to recover funds paid to an insured.
An appeal from an order dismissing applications to strike out third party claims. The appeal was allowed.
Howalta Electrical Services Inc. v. CDI Career Development Institutes Ltd., [2011] A.J. No. 1227, November 15, 2011, Alberta Court of Appeal, J.E.L. Côté, J.D.B. McDonald and B.K. O'Ferrall JJ.A.
A fire destroyed a building occupied by tenants. The fire insurance company paid the owner landlord for the loss to the building. The insurance company brought a subrogated claim against various parties in the name of the landlord. The appellants who had been named as defendants in the claim, were a tenant and its employee. No one suggested they caused the fire. The employee was alleged to have smelled or noticed smoke or fire and had not told the landlord. The lease required tenants to tell the landlord if they learned about any condition which might damage the building.
The appellant tenant asserted that it had paid its share of the fire insurance premiums as common-expense payments required by the lease. The insurance company discontinued its subrogated suit as against both the appellant tenant and employee.
In the meantime, other defendants, including the respondent, had issued notices seeking contribution and indemnity from the appellants. The notices allege that the appellants were also tortfeasors, and relied on the Tort-Feasors Act. A motion to summarily dismiss those notices failed and that decision was appealed.
The appeal was allowed. The tenant, by paying its share of the fire insurance premiums, had no liability to the plaintiff. There was a basis for giving the employee the same protection as the tenant. Therefore, they had no statutory liability to contribute to a second tortfeasor. The real plaintiff was the fire insurer. The person with a cause of action was the landlord. The fire insurer could not claim against the tenant or its employee. The second tortfeasors could not, therefore claim against them.
