Audio clips for comparison below: …with the ones for comparison from a woman called Vicki Kaywood, a Chicago voice artist whose voice certainly sounds like the one in the ad allegedly created by LA native Ethan Winner.

Seth Green Nabs A Role Alongside Ray Liotta And Ashley Judd In The Identical
By Eric EIsenberg 2012-10-02 15:18:41 comments
Seth Green has spent the bulk of his career on television, taking part in shows like Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Greg The Bunny, Family Guy and Robot Chicken, but he has also had his fair share of movies roles and has signed on to take another. The actor has lined up to star in the new rock n roll drama The Identical, which already has Ashley Judd, Ray Liotta and Joe Pantoliano attached.
Variety says that Green will be playing a drummer challenged by excesses of wine, women and song. Dustin Marcellino will be making his directorial debut with the film, which was written by Howie Klausner (Space Cowboys). The trade doesnt say what roles Judd, Liotta or Pantoliano will be playing.
Said Green in a statement about the casting news, I'm really excited to be working with this whole group. Looks like my teenage band practices are finally about to pay off." Asked about why Green was the proper choice for the part, producer Matthew Dean Russell complimented the actors comedic delivery and dramatic chops, saying, We knew we hit a home run.
Green recently completed work on Sexy Evil Genius, a new indie sci-fi comedy from director Shawn Piller that co-stars Michelle Trachtenberg (Buffy connection!), Anthony Michael Hall, Katee Sackhoff, Harold Perrineau and William Baldwin. In addition to his continuing work on both Robot Chicken and Family Guy, he is a consultant on Lucasfilms new animated series Star Wars: Detours and completed the miniseries Delete last month.

Planetoddity: What are you currently working on, and what is your plans?

Planetoddity: What do you do in your spare time?
Marko: Well, unfortunately I have not much spare time. I spend most of my days inside my office in my apartment. Vacation and travels are always fun, and I like to photograph a lot when I go to different places. Here I'll give you the opportunity to take a look at some of my photo collection, so that this blog post would look more fun 🙂
Planetoddity: What do you think about Planetoddity?
Marko: Love it! I visit it from time to time. I like to take a look at odd and artistic stuff around the globe. My favorites are the Star Wars articles, it is amazing how much creative and crazy stuff people make with that as an inspiration. I wish you and your millions of readers many awesome moments in 2011.

I very rarely swing by here anymore. And by the looks of it this place has nearly died since its peak 7-10 years ago.
After 12 years of flying hornets I'm now flying 737s for a major US carrier. I was sad to hang up my hornet spurs, but it is nice to be back in the US and with a very well regarded company.
I hope you all are doing well and take care.

Each type of account offered by InstaForex represents a universal trading tool that helps to work on international financial markets. Regardless of the chosen account type, you will have access to every trading symbol available, when working with InstaForex.
In order to help traders to create a successful trading strategy two account types were developed by the InstaForex Dealer Department specialists. Trading accounts' types differ by the method of accounting spreads and commissions, which are picked by the trader opening an account.
These types of accounts are relevant for standard trading terms on Forex market and function without fees. Once a trader gets access to all trading instruments he/she pays a fixed spread setting a trade.
Insta.Standard accounts work for all types of traders and allow a trade to be settled with classical spread and with no fees. The main advantage of this type of account is its universality, as often a trader can change the trading leverage and work with a deposit size convenient for him/her. The features of the account allow trading with Micro Forex (minimum deposit $1-10), Mini Forex (minimum deposit $100), and Standard Forex (minimum deposit $1000).
The account of this type does not require any spread to be paid at opening a trade. For most currency instruments of Insta.Eurica account type zero spreads are applied, due to this the BID price is always equal to the ASK price. It should be noted that the offered price runs higher than the BID price (on the basis of which a chart in the trading terminal is plotted) by half of the standard spread for a given trading instrument which is rounded up to its integral value due to some technical peculiarities of the MetaTrader 4.00 platform.
This account type is recommended for newbies because it is not necessary to take into consideration the spread in case of pending orders usage: a pending order is executed right when the price reaches its value if the spread equals to 0. Before GTC orders' placing and market entrance there is no necessity to calculate spread influence on the position result, this makes technical analysis highly effective.
Aside from the fact that Insta.Eurica accounts allow the newbies to get the hang of the market using a simpler system of trades conducting, this account type can be also used by professional traders, because its trade characteristics are the same as of Insta.Standard account type.
Cent.Standard and Cent.Eurica account types are developed for beginning traders and oriented to those clients who just learn trading, and for this purpose they need access to the minimal possible trade volume. Micro Forex is available with the lot volume of 0.0001 of the market lot (the lot price is 0.1 U.S. cents) and allows practicing almost without any risks for deposit. This type of account will suit well those who want to test trading strategies with minimal risks using the trade advantage of 0.0001 lot.
In addition to the smallest allowed trade volume - 0.0001 of the market lot - the owners of Cent.Standard and Cent.Eurica accounts have the same trading terms as Insta.Standard and Insta.Eurica. The only constraint here is the maximally allowed deposit size for cent group accounts of Cent.Standard and Cent.Eurica related to their directivity to the beginning traders. For more experienced traders it is recommended to open accounts of Insta.Standard and Insta.Eurica types which do not have any size constraints for maximal deposit and deal size.
[1] - Spreads are shown in pips.
[2] - For deposits of less than $1,000.
[3] - Margin means the percentage of volume of the total deposit that is necessary for maintaining the opposite positions for a single pair.
[4] - Level, when reached, positions may be forcibly closed.
[5] - Level, when reached, positions will be automatically closed.
[6] - The annual interest rate accrues on the last day of each month. 5% rate is valid only for active accounts, for inactive accounts the annual rate is 2%.
* - For deposits of more than $10,000.00 the minimum trade may be established in the amount of 0.10 lots ($0.10 per pip).
** - For deposits of more than $100,000.00 the minimum trade may be established in the amount of 1.00 lots ($1.00 per pip).
*** - For cent accounts the minimal trade is 100 points of the basic currency and it is equal to the pip price about 0.1 cents.
**** - Leverage for GOLD and SILVER trade is 1:100.
***** - Leverage for CFD trade is 1:20.
****** - If the balance runs over USD 1000 on cent account, it is recommended to open a new account on another server.

Sky Soar Past Storm
Head Coach Steven Key
On his feelings about this first game:
With an exhibition game, you get to gauge where you are after a weeks worth of practice and get a chance to play against someone else for a change. I felt we shared the ball really well with 22 assists in the game and I felt we defended really well. Our players were in the right spot at the right time and we had good spacing. Were headed in the right direction.
On who stood out:
Chasity Melvin really stood out. She is in great shape and is ready to go. The battle against Sylvia every day in practice will make them both better, and will make the whole team better.
Quianna also did a great job of coming in and knocking down some big shots. She doesnt hesitate. I was pleasantly surprised to see her play the way she did at this level.
#15 Quianna Chaney
On playing in her first WNBA game:
I was scared and a little nervous to start with, but when the team came in at the half and Coach Key spoke with us, I felt a little more calm and was able to get in a groove.
#34 Sylvia Fowles
On playing in her first WNBA game:
I kept telling myself before the game that I was not nervous, but when I got on the court I felt like my legs were not moving and I felt like I was not doing anything I was supposed to do. I told myself to calm down and stay focused and in the second half I was less nervous and able to play a lot better.
I saw Yolanda and I wanted to ask her for her autograph. I am star struck.
On what she was most pleased with about her game tonight:
Im happy to be here, but I was not happy with my game. I need to work on calling for the ball more and being stronger with the ball, crashing the boards.
On her thumb, which had to be taped in the first quarter:
I just scraped it, Im alright.
Head Coach Brian Agler
On the first preseason game:
I think we learned a lot about our team. I think we learned a lot about our personnel. I think we learned quite a bit about how physical the game needs to be played. Some of these people playing their first game learned some stuff.
On the additions of veterans Sheryl Swoopes and Yolanda Griffith:
I think theyre still working to get in shape a little bit, but obviously they have a presence in the game, they play with a lot of poise, they anticipate what can happen and obviously its a plus.
On playing the Sky in the regular season opener:
They are going to have a good team. Sylvia Fowles obviously is going to help them. Itll be interesting to see who will make the rest of their squad. Theyre going to be real solid, there is no question about it.
#13 Yolanda Griffith:
On why she decided to sign with Seattle:
The experience they have. Ive always wanted to play for Brian (Agler), he is a great coach and I still feel like I can learn more from him. Youve got LJ (Lauren Jackson), who is a two-time MVP, youve got Sue Bird who Ive won gold medals with, youve got Sheryl Swoopes, a veteran player. This was just an opportunity and I am pretty sure anyone given this opportunity would have taken it, too.
On playing the Sky:
They have a young team, theyre feisty and even when I was in Sacramento, we always had a hard time beating them. Theyre an up-and-coming young team. Theyre going to be good.

I need to add a very good shop quality chain tool to my tool set at home.
As I will be getting a new Shimano 7900 groupo shortly and it will come with the 7900 chain; I would like to get recommendations for a chain tool for the 7900 that can be used on it and all other chains.
I have been using SRAM and Wippermann chains for the last 16,000 miles or about 4 years. Generally, I have avoided the Shimano chains as I didn't wish to mess with the replacement pins. But, I will try out the 7900 chain at least for awhile.
Any recommendations, regardless of cost?

DEKALB, Ill. -- Under the direction of NIU Associate Vice-President and Director of Athletics Sean T. Frazier, the NIU External Relations and Convocation Center staffs have been reshaped with four additions as John Faso, Tim Rice, Chris Radford and James Ericson have joined the NIU Athletics Department this year.
Faso comes to NIU as Director of the Convocation Center, Ericson was added as Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing, Rice was named Assistant Athletic Director for Annual Giving and Radford, the newest addition, will serve as Assistant Athletic Director for Operations of the Convocation Center, dealing extensively with tickets.
Along with the four additions, two current staff members have shifted roles as Eric Schultz will now serve as Associate Director of the Convocation Center and Cliff Bottigliero has been promoted to a new position as NIU's Director of Premium Sales.
"This is an outstanding group of individuals who understand the `speed of the game' and will play an important role in taking NIU Athletics and the NIU Convocation Center forward," Frazier said. "We have a lot of things we need to get accomplished in both areas and this group, along with the senior staff and the rest of our leadership team, is playing a pivotal role. We are getting after it and will not stop."
Faso comes to NIU after working as the Director of Operations and Events at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena in Jamestown, N.Y. He began his career in Greensboro, N.C., where he was an event manager and manager of hockey operations at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex.
From Greensboro, Faso moved on to the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League, working as an event manager before earning a promotion to Director of Event Services. While with the Sabres, Faso played a key role in the opening of Marine Midland Arena (now First Niagara Center) and also managed events such as the Stanley Cup Finals, NHL Entry Draft, NCAA Frozen Four and NCAA Basketball Regionals.
A graduate of Niagara University in Niagara Falls, N.Y., Faso also spent time as the General Manager of the Conference Center Niagara Falls and with the Adams Mark Hotel in downtown Buffalo.
Ericson, a native of Des Moines, Iowa, comes to NIU following six years in event management at Ohio State University, where he worked with numerous sports including football and men's and women's basketball. Ericson was responsible for managing the 2009 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships as well as the 2012 and 2013 NCAA Rifle Championship.
After graduating from the University of Iowa in 2000, Ericson interned in the Iowa Athletic Department before joining Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC), an event management/staffing company, working for CSC in Miami, Fla., and Atlanta, Ga. In 2005, Ericson moved on to Wichita State University where he served as the Director of Event Management for two years before moving on to Ohio State.
Rice joined NIU from San Jose State University, where he spent two years as the Development Coordinator for the Spartan Foundation, which raised more than $1.3 million annually. During his time at SJSU, the Spartan Foundation membership grew by 45 percent.
As a graduate assistant in the Office of Athletics Development at the University of California, Berkeley, from 2008-10, Rice worked with the Bear Backers annual giving program, coordinating donor events and working with the Endowment Seating Program for Memorial Stadium.
A native of Seaford, N.Y., Rice earned his bachelor's degree in public relations from Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Mich., in 2008. While at Grand Valley, Rice worked as a marketing assistant and served as the director of the GVSU Laker Nation, the official student section of Laker Athletics. He earned his master's degree in sport management from the University of San Francisco in 2010.
Radford most recently worked as Assistant Athletic Director of Ticketing Operations and Sales at Ohio University. In four years at Ohio, Radford oversaw all ticketing operations for Ohio's six ticketed sports. During his time in Athens, Radford helped Ohio increase football season ticket sales by 42 percent and men's basketball season ticket sales by 51 percent. He managed ticket and donor seating operations for three bowl games and two NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament appearances.
Prior to Ohio, Radford served as the Director of Ticketing Operations at UNC Wilmington for two years, overseeing five ticketed sports for the Seahawks.
Radford played football collegiately at the University of Richmond, earning his degree in business management in 2006. He went on to earn his master's degree in exercise and sports science from East Carolina in 2007.
Radford, Rice, Ericson, Bottigliero and their staffs are hard at work this spring with NIU's season ticket renewal deadline quickly approaching on May 30 and the Huskie Athletic Fund annual donor drive. NIU football season tickets are on sale now for just $110 for all five 2014 home games, beginning Thursday, Aug. 28 versus Presbyterian. Order online today at www.NIUHuskies.com/tickets, or call NIU Athletics at 815-753-7225 (PACK). In addition, the Huskie Athletic Fund has launched a new website at www.huskieathleticfund.com with complete information on new donor benefits, parking and more.

Top Cristiano Ronaldo Cards for Collectors to Chase
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most recognizable global athletes and has been an elite player for two huge franchises, Manchester United and Real Madrid. He also suits up for Portugal in international play. The superstar player is most celebrated for his goal scoring, but is also a well-rounded player with a full arsenal of abilities. Even with limited options, Cristiano Ronaldo cards and autographs are among the most pursued soccer cards in the world.
Despite his immense popularity, there are not a ton of Cristiano Ronaldo cards available to collectors. Starting with his time on the pitch for Sporting CP, various cards have been produced for the dynamic forward. This card production was ramped up during the period that Cristiano played for United, and several Upper Deck cards are available, including a few signed options. Since then, a variety of brands have released Cristiano Ronaldo cards, with noteworthy offerings from Topps Match Attax, Panini, Adrenalyn XL, Futera, Sportkings and Topps Premier Gold.
Although certified Cristiano Ronaldo autographs remain rare, more have emerged in the last few years and are his most valuable cards. Also, collectors can look to 2014 Panini Prizm World Cup for additional autographs from Cristiano, as well as other stars from the world of football. That does not mean there are not some good options now. The following list includes the best CR7 cards for collectors to chase. Most are in short supply, but they are not impossible to track down.
Top Cristiano Ronaldo Cards
2002-03 Panini Mega Craques #137 Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo's first card comes from his days at Sporting Clube de Portugal. The card features an action image of a very young Cristiano and the value has been steadily increasing. Most collectors consider this to be the true Cristiano Ronaldo rookie card.
2003-04 Upper Deck Manchester United Cristiano Ronaldo #13,14,15
Cristiano Ronaldo came onto the world stage when he joined Manchester United and his first cards with ManU came from Upper Deck. Three different base cards document his inagural season with the famed club. The various base parallels have proven to be quite valuable.
2003-04 Upper Deck Manchester United ManUscripts Red Cristiano Ronaldo #R #/39
Also found in the Upper Deck Manchester United product, the very first certified autograph for Cristiano Ronaldo was a ManUscripts sticker autograph. The base red card is only numbered to 39 and a black parallel features a different image and is numbered to 25.
2004-05 SP Authentic Manchester United Sign of the Times Cristiano Ronaldo #/173
The following year, SP Authentic produced a Manchester United product. One of the biggest highlights was a Cristiano Ronaldo Sign of the Times sticker autograph, numbered to 173. The horizontal layout offers a unique look, but most of the autographs from both sets have not held up well over time.
2013 Sportkings Autographs Silver Cristiano Ronaldo #ACR #/15 (5 versions)
2013 Sportkings included five different Cristiano Ronaldo autographs, each numbered to just 15. The generic look is not ideal, but they remain one of his only on-card autographs. Even more rare, gold parallels are numbered to five.
2013-14 Topps Premier Gold International Icons Autographs Cristiano Ronaldo #SP-CR
Part of the 2013-14 Topps Premier Gold product that covered the EPL, Cristiano Ronaldo is the top autograph option despite leaving the EPL in 2009. Although the base version is not numbered, values remain strong and numbered parallels command even more.
2014 Panini Prizm World Cup Signatures #S-CR
Panini Prizm World Cup might have the most popular Cristiano Ronaldo autograph to date. Although no print runs were released, it appears that this card is less available than most of the other signers from the set and values have been pushing higher.
2014 Panini Prizm World Cup Combo Signatures #CS-PC
Incredibly rare, ten of these dual signature cards exist, plus ten more Prizm parallels, for a total of just 20 cards. The pairing combines the greatest of all-time in Pelé, with one of the best current players in Cristiano Ronaldo. Other than some of the main 1/1 cards, this might be the biggest hit in the entire Prizm World Cup product, and one of the most impressive dual-signed cards in all of soccer collecting.

Class300 cast steel gate valve is a kind of cast gate valve. Class 300 is the model of the valve. A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a round or rectangular gate/wedge out of the path of the fluid. The distinct feature of a gate valve is the sealing surfaces between the gate and seats are planar, so gate valves are often used when a straight-line flow of fluid and minimum restric?tion is desired.
Gate valves are characterized as having either a rising or a nourishing stem. Rising stems provide a visual indication of valve position because the stem is attached to the gate such that the gate and stem rise and lower together as the valve is operated. Nourishing stem valves may have a pointer threaded onto the upper end of the stem to indicate valve position, since the gate travels up or down the stem on the threads without raising or lowering the stem. Nourishing stems are used underground or where vertical space is limited.
Gate valves may have flanged ends which are drilled according to pipeline compatible flange dimensional standards. Gate valves are typically constructed from cast iron, ductile iron, cast carbon steel, gun metal, stainless steel, alloy steels, and forged steels.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
In Maryland, a party can only seek a modification of custody if there is a material change in circumstances.
There are a number of cases that give an idea as to what a material change is. Generally speaking it is one or a combination of the following: a significant change that occurred since the entry of the initial order; something material that was unknown at the time the initial order was passed has since come to light; and/or something since the entry of the Order is adversely impacting or could adversely impact the welfare of the child(ren). One circumstance that has been ruled a material change in Maryland is the relocation of a parent. Braun v. Headley, 131 Md. App. 588 (2000). When facing relocation of a parent, the court may consider such factors as a potential change in visitation schedule, child's school change, the moving parent's reason for the move, and the ability of the parents to both maintain a relationship with the child after the move when deciding whether or not the move will constitute a material change in circumstances. More often than not, a relocation of a parent is a material change in circumstance.
Assuming the parent seeking to modify the existing Order establishes a material change in circumstance and the Court so finds, the second prong of the two prong test is what is in the best interest of the minor child(ren). In deciding what is in the best interest of the child(ren) the court considers a host of factors. Some of those factors include the fitness of the parents, the desires and agreements of the parents, the potential to maintain family relationships, the child's preference if he or she is at a sufficient age, opportunities affecting the child, the age and health of the child, and the residence of the parents and opportunity for visitation. Montgomery County v. Sanders, 38 Md. App. 406 (1997). It is important to keep in mind that even with a finding of a material change in circumstance, a modification of the custody order still must be determined by the court to be in the child(ren)'s best interest.
Also, you can file a contempt motion any time the other party violates a term or terms of the court's order.
This is determined on a case by case basis and there must be an examination by a medical professional to establish physical or mental fitness if it is in question.
There is no list of illnesses that qualify - any illness a medical professional testifies about can be considered.

There's a lot to admire about the Chihuly Boathouse. The view, the glass-bottomed lap pool (natch) and the tables that look like tall trees split, polished and laid to one side.
But the bathroom reading is unparalleled: everything from Thomas Hardy's "Far From the Madding Crowd" to Joseph Heller's "Something Happened" to "The Ghost at the Waterfall" from the Vicki Barr Flight Stewardess series. I could have stayed in there all night.
Ah, but I was there for Club Ludo, the annual fundraiser at which the Seattle Symphony Orchestra welcomes the city's music community to raise a glass and plug in, and invites them to visit Benaroya Hall. The night raised $140,000 (a 40 percent increase over last year) to support the symphony's education and community programs.
"Tonight is a dream come true, and an invitation to become part of our family," Symphony Board Chair
Leslie Chihulytold me. "We're not a separate institution. We're part of the musical mother lode here in Seattle. From Mozart to Macklemore."
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle

Her husband, Dale Chihuly, welcomed people and urged them to spread out.
"You would think they would want to go outside," he said. "Why isn't anyone going outside?" (I don't know. The bar inside, maybe?)
Outside, JJ McKay
stood sipping a vodka and wearing a smile — as well as a giant handprint on the crotch of his beige trousers. Ahem.
"They were designed by Yoko Ono," he told Cliff Burrows, who oversees Starbucks operations in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Russia and the Middle East, and still has time to breathe in and out.
Star Annagave me a hug and news of her new album, "Go to Hell," planned for a fall release from Spark & Shine Records, which also signed Ken Stringfellow and The Maldives
"It's the name of a Nina Simone record we cover," Star explained. "But it's also the overall message of the record." (Check those liner notes, people).
By the cheese platter, I spotted former Gov. Dan Evans, and addressed him as such. He smirked, "That was so long ago, everyone forgot."
He's completing "the last dregs" of his autobiography. ("If I don't finish it this year, I never will") and, like the rest of us, wondering what the holdup is in Olympia. (Anotherspecial session?)
Could it be our relatively new Gov. Jay Inslee
"Being in Congress doesn't prepare you to be governor," Evans said of Inslee's path to the statehouse. "You need to take charge. He needs to set the agenda and fight for it." There's an understatement.
Club Ludo's tagline was "Where the music never stops," and that was true. A young symphony ensemble entertained the crowd at the start of the night, and then Mike McCready of Pearl Jam,
Lukas Nelson(a singing ringer for his father, Willie) and Chris Frieltook over one end of the room to perform some J.J. Cale.
Sage Redmankicked off things downstairs, performing with Joe Gillickas the romantic-electronica-Radiohead-inspired duo, Lychee.
The perfectly punk-and-poppy Young Evilsstarted the late shift (look for their new album, "Crime Scene A-Go-Go," in October), and then a hush fell over the crowd (and a smartphone forest rose) when symphony music director Ludovic Morlotpicked up his violin to take the stage with McCready and Nelson on a cover of Eddie Vedder's "Just Breathe." Morlot couldn't stop smiling.
"You know, the great thing about being a conductor is you never worry about embarrassing yourself," he said.
Just then, someone in the crowd offered him a rock 'n' roll christening by hollering a lusty, "LUDO!"
If Leslie Chihuly wanted to merge Seattle's music genres, well, that moment may have hit the perfect note.
Dancing for 826
"Has anyone seen 'Strictly Ballroom'?" KIRO-FM radio host Luke Burbankasked the packed room at Nectar in Fremont the other night. "This is going to be a lot like that. But less Australian."
That was one way to describe the fourth annual "Dance Your Cash Off" dance marathon fundraiser for 826 Seattle. The Greenwood nonprofit provides tutoring and writing programs for kids all over the city, and is an outpost of the organization started in San Francisco by author Dave Eggers.
"This night is my most fun night," said 826 Seattle Executive Director Teri Hein. "This, and Christmas."
One girl raised $1,000 by amassing five- and 10-dollar donations from, among other places, her mother's squirrel club, Hein said.
"Art Zone" host Nancy Guppyand her husband, Joe Guppy, (both in bob wigs, cardigans and chinos) warmed up the crowd by doing the "Evolution of Mom Dancing," perfected by "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon and first lady Michelle Obama. Then they headed out to Spinasse to celebrate their 26th anniversary. Not sure if they changed first.
The crowd danced until 11 p.m. and raised $33,000 — $1,000 over the goal. Way to crack some nuts.
McKagan honored
As if we couldn't love Duff McKaganany more, the tall blond behind Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver and the Walking Papers was just given Seattle Central Community College's 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award.
In a video he made during a tour stop in South Africa (it played at SCCC's commencement), McKagan called the school "a game changer" in his life.
McKagan returned to his education at 30, learned to study and developed the discipline to move on to the Albers School of Business and Economics at Seattle University — and to a second career as a writer and money manager.
"I'm really quite honored," McKagan said. "Maybe I'll come to school and drop in on a class."

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hello bjoel,
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, that sounds very frustrating. What does your current court order say about child support and childcare? If you are obligated to pay for the babysitter under the order, you can file a petition to modify the order and ask the court to consider the fact that you are already paying for daycare, and that it is the mother's job that is creating the extra expense of the babysitter. The court may or may not modify the order to require her to pay for the babysitter, but if you are already paying for daycare and it's the mother that is creating the extra expense, there is a good chance that the court will create an order relieving you of the obligation to pay for this.
What were the papers that you just got served with? Did the mother file some action regarding this situation?
Please let me know if you have any other questions. If this answers your question, please click "accept" so I may receive credit for my answer.
In this case, you will not have to file for a modification. You will want to go to the hearing and explain that you already pay for daycare, and that paying for an extra babysitter will be very burdensome on you. Since her income has decreased, the court may or may not make you pay for the babysitter. Is there any way that the daycare cost can be eliminated or decreased? Is she still using the daycare? If the problem is just with the drop off and pick up, maybe you could ask the court to require her to find arrangements for the children to be dropped off or picked up from daycare. It is hard to predict the way that this decision will come out, as it will be largely at the court's discretion.
You may want to hire an attorney to represent you in this matter. An attorney will be able to represent you during court proceedings and strategize with you to present your strongest case.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

As it treaded the path of reforms, the HRD Ministry came under attack from IITs for adopting a new single entrance test and also grappled with the cartoon row in NCERT books in 2012, during which it also failed to get key legislations passed in Parliament.
Kapil Sibal, who termed the single nationwide test for engineering programmes as his "dream", did realise it before he made way for M M Pallam Raju as the HRD Minister in October but not before he faced stiff resistance from the IITs who
vetoed his plans.
The premier institutes, however, agreed to adopt it subsequently under a compromise formula though several states are yet to embrace it.
While the ministry was dealing with the issue, some offending cartoons and content in NCERT textbooks kicked off a row during Budget Session of Parliament, with several Mps demanding their removal. Two NCERT textbook advisors resigned while a committee set up to examine the content was accused of not arriving at a consensus among the members on removal of a host of cartoons.
Amid all these, two to three cartoons were removed by NCERT before revised textbooks could be supplied to students.
The Ministry during the year had to also confront with protests from states like Tamil Nadu and others about "objectionable" content in textbooks.
Another highlight of the year gone by was the passage of the Copyright Act (Amendment) Bill, 2012 amid rare show of unanimity in both the houses of Parliament. This will give a fresh lease if life to song writers, artistes and performers,
deprived of their dues so far, who can now claim royalty for their creations.
Sibal could achieve little success in getting key legislations stuck in Parliament passed. His successor Raju also had little luck in passing these legislations, one of
which is National Accreditation Regulatory Authority for Higher Educational Institutions Bill, 2010. The passage of the Bill would have made accreditation mandatory for every institutions.
During 2012, UGC issued guidelines which mandates that foreign universities entering into agreement with their Indian counterparts for offering twinning programmes will have to be among the global top 500. The Indian varsities on the other hand, should have received the highest accreditation grade.
During the year, outlay for the education sector for the 12th Plan Period was finalised at 4,53,728 crore, a jump of around 155 per cent, with focus on setting up of new
institutes and universities and expanding existing one.

Welcome to our web site
New Forest Access For All (NFAFA – pronounced nafa) is a small local charity run by a lively, dedicated group of volunteers (well, we think so anyway!). It was set up in 1997 to highlight the many access problems faced by members of the community, especially people with disabilities . We became a registered charity in 2004. We are affiliated to the National Register of Access Consultants.
Open Meetings.
We hold regular meetings, open to non-
members as well as members, with guest speakers, where people can gather information, exchange ideas and socialise.
We try to hold an open air meeting each year.
We would like to thank the following organisations for their support
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation
New Forest
County Council
Going Walks
We have surveyed and mapped many walks and trails in the New Forest which are suitable for people with mobility difficulties. See our easy-
going walks page.
Problem Solving
We offer information and advice about access problems to local businesses and service providers. We do access audits of buildings and public spaces.
We work with the New Forest District Council, Hampshire County Council, the Forestry Commission, and the National Park Authority to identify and find solutions to access problems.

Falling into a classic story
Ann L. Fouty Features Editor
write the author
June 20, 2013
Oh dear! Oh dear! Don't be late.
A new adventure, "Fairy Tales at Ford House: A Wonderful Experience," comes to life at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, in the third and final summer series celebrating fairy tales. This year, it's all about Alice from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" as she, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and the White Rabbit kick off the high-energy, imaginative event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 29.
The Ford house's wooded grounds, activities center, Josephine Ford's playhouse and the pool house set the stage for story time and an art exhibit, inspired by the novel written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll in 1865. Both human and animal characters from the story will be incorporated in activities including multi-cultural storytelling, story circles, games and a storybook reading event.
The art and educational portions of the exhibit, Almost Alice: Illustrations of Wonderland and Alice, Art & Artifact, open the same day and run through Sept. 8.
Opening day
Experience Alice's wonderland in the South Cottage where the atmosphere is set to make children feel both small and large, mimicking Alice's size changes.
In the main entrance, children will have a chance to take books from the cottage to read in a designated outdoor reading area, said Sara Ericson, the Ford House's museum technician.
Back inside the cottage, an oversize book with large print can be handled to experience that shrinking feeling.
In another cottage room, children sit at a child-size table as tea party guests. They also will have the opportunity to try on hats, including the Mad Hatter's tall hat.
The hall of doors will be set up in a third room of the cottage. Children can gaze through peep holes to see pieces of art illustrating Alice's story. The last door opens and children can squat down to peer into a garden setting.
A fourth room contains a toadstool table and chairs and children's activities.
"They'll feel tiny in this room," Ericson said. "There will be a projection of the Cheshire Cat. It will fade in and out. The cat's body will fade, then the face, then the smile."
Josephine's playhouse will be transformed into the White Rabbit's house with the lizard flying out the chimney and its bottom half in the fireplace, Ericson said.
Also, children will be able to dress up either as the White Rabbit or Alice.
The grounds are the site of a maze, a petting farm, three-legged races, story telling, puppet shows, short plays performed by Grosse Pointe Theatre members and croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum will be around and children can blow bubbles with the caterpillar.
Advance tickets cost $12 or $15 at the door.
"This has become such a community staple, a family event," said Ann Fitzpatrick, vice president of communications for the Ford House. "It's creative and fun."
"Almost Alice: Illustrations of Wonderland" presents artist Maggie Taylor's digitally manipulated pieces into layered montages. Faces in the pieces were taken from vintage photographs and incorporated into photos. Of particular interest are the faces of the King and Queen of Hearts and Alice. Her illustrations are in the South Cottage.
The second exhibit, "Alice, Art & Artifact," is a multi-media art creation from eight College for Creative Studies students in an art and artifact class. Their work was inspired by either the story or Ford House artifacts.
One of the items, Alice's night dress, was created by Nabeela Najjar of Detroit. She fashioned the unusual nightgown from leafy paper and gauzy material. It can be seen in the playhouse's bedroom.
According to Josephine Shea, Ford House curator, fiber artist Karen Quinn of Livonia created three sizes of aprons. From a more than 6-foot apron of pink to a medium size of green gingham to the smallest green and pink, they are multi-layered. Guests can lift the layers of material to reveal a different apron.
Ceramicists Michelle Perry of Saginaw and Alexandria Rabishaw of Milwaukee both created tea sets. Other items created include costumes, water colors and embroideries by illustrator Emily Boyd, ceramist Alejandra Roig, fiber artist Alexa Ulbrich and illustrator Andrea Del Rio. Their works are on display at the pool house.

German industrial packaging company Mauser said it has received "overwhelming" support from its lenders to amend and extend the maturities of more than 96 per cent of its senior debt facilities totalling €678m.
The company, which is wholly owned by Dubai International Capital, the private equity arm of sovereign wealth investor Dubai Holding, also received the consent of 95 per cent of all its lenders to other requested amendments, significantly surpassing the required 66.7 per cent.
Hans-Peter Schäfer, CEO, Mauser, said, "We are grateful to our lenders for their near unanimous support for our amend and extend proposals. Their willingness to extend maturities to the fullest extent possible demonstrates their confidence in the business. This hugely successful transaction has helped us achieve a low-cost, flexible and longer-term capital structure and gives us the ability to further capitalise on our global market leading position in the industrial packaging sector.
"We can now focus on building on what has been an excellent few years for us as a company, during which time we have achieved strong growth in the face of a difficult economic climate and have outperformed our peers."
In 2012, Mauser reported an all-time high EBITDA of €134m, at a healthy EBITDA margin of 11.6 per cent. Since 2009, its revenues have grown by a compound annual growth rate of 12 per cent.
The transaction will extend the maturities of the firm's loans, while the extended senior debt will have a two per cent margin uplift, resulting in a blended senior rate of 4.4 per cent over Euribor.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Barclays acted as joint lead arrangers for the transaction.

Paris seeks cultural exception in EU-US trade pact
LUXEMBOURG France told fellow members of the European Union on Friday that the movie and television industry must be kept out of hotly anticipated free trade talks with the United States, even if it delays the formal start of negotiations next week.
Endorsing the start of trans-Atlantic trade talks was meant to have been one of the big events of President Barack Obama's trip to Europe next week. But at Friday's talks among EU trade ministers, France was sticking to its `'cultural exception" - insisting state subsidies and restrictive quotas for movies and TV shows should stay out of the negotiations.
All other EU nations have vowed to protect the culture industry as well, but the large majority nevertheless wants it to be part of the talks. They fear that removing it would set off tit-for-tat claims on both sides.
The 27 EU nations want to enter the sweeping talks with a unanimous mandate, giving France, the bloc's second biggest economy, major sway over the outcome.
`'Now, France has to move a bit," said Germany's trade state secretary, Anne Ruth Herkes. `'Sometimes we all have to do this. Now, it is France's turn."
No way, said French Foreign Trade Minister Nicole Bricq at the meeting in Luxembourg, according to officials.
She insisted on a clear and explicit exclusion of the sector from the EU negotiating mandate, making any sense of compromise difficult, said the officials, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because the talks were ongoing.
The proposed free trade talks between the EU and U.S. have raised hopes of a big boost to growth and jobs by eliminating tariffs and other barriers that have long plagued economic relations. A free trade pact would create a market with common standards and regulations across countries that together account for nearly half the global economy.
For most, the potential gains are too important to let the talks slip at this early stage.
`'An EU-U.S. agreement could potentially represent 400,000 jobs in the EU, so that's a prize really worth working for," said Irish Enterprise Minister Richard Bruton, who chaired Friday's EU meeting.
`'We require flexibility on all sides to reach agreement," he said during a break in the meeting. `'We think it is important for Europe and this is the time to do it."
An EU-commissioned study shows that a trade pact could boost the 27-country bloc's economic output by 119 billion euro ($159 billion) a year and the U.S. economy's by 95 billion euros ($127 billion). Another estimate showed eliminating tariffs alone would add $180 billion to U.S. and EU gross domestic product in five years' time while boosting exports on both sides by about 17 percent. That could add about 0.5 percent annually to the EU's GDP and 1 percent to the U.S.
For Europe in particular, that extra growth would be crucial to help pay high public debt and bring down unemployment, which is at record highs.
Tariffs between the EU and the U.S. are already relatively low, averaging 5 percent to 7 percent. But the pact would have huge benefits because of the sheer size of the market - bilateral trade is worth $1 trillion annually, the largest commercial relationship in the world.
The prospects sounded so good that all seemed aligned for a launch of the talks during Obama's European visit. Both the U.S. and Britain said they wanted to announce the opening of negotiations by the G-8 summit on June 17-18, with talks expected to start around the beginning of July.
But France and Hollywood have always had a fraught relationship. Paris has for years sought to protect its cultural industries with lavish subsidies and quotas as competition grew from other countries - particularly the U.S., whose exporters are helped by having a massive domestic market and the use of English, the world's pre-eminent language.

Hello to all and thank you for your attention.
I am using ZCS 5.0.16 and I am experiencing a strange issue when I share a Notebook with other users:
1- I create one or several pages in the notebook, close it and share it.
2- Users receive notification of the shared item, but
3- When they go to the Shared notebook, instead of seeing the list of pages there, they are thrown into edit mode of a page (like they were creating a new page on the shared notebook). When I hit close, I can see the lists of pages momentarily but then I go into edit mode again.
4- This doesn´t happen with all the shared notebooks, but one thing more is that in those notebooks where I CAN see the lists of pages, when I click in one of them to see it, instead of showing me the page in the same browser area, it opens a new browser windos and shows the html page.
Any ideas??
Thank you.

SNL - "Girlfriends Talk Show" : It's never a good sign when a sketch relies solely on alternate pronunciations of random words for laughs rather than punch lines. Combine that with a premise as predictable as this, and you've got the makings of one of the worst sketches all year. Aidy Bryant and Cicily Strong have pushed the recurring bit on us five times in the last two seasons, and it's well past time to retire. Hutcherson, who's an amiable young actor, was simply that as host -- pleasant, but not special. If you're not a comic or A-list thespian, you've got to bring more to the table than good looks.
They can't all be good. We've ranked the worst celebrity hosts of the year as well as the sketches that just did not come together.Read More »

Why do people define a private copy constructor?
When is making the copy constructor and the assignment operator private a good design?
If there are no members in the class which are pointers or handles to a unique object (like file name), then wat other cases are there where private copy constructor is a good idea?
Same question apply for assignment operator. Given that majority of C++ revolves around copying of objects and passing by reference, are there any good designs which involve private copy constructor?

ATLANTA (AP) — An Atlanta rapper was shot dead in a car outside a hospital where his fiancee was due to give birth in what prosecutors say was an elaborate murder-for-hire plot involving gang members, a former Russian mobster and a basketball star.
Plumides told ABC News in May that Chulpayev's FBI handler asked for and

If you read my recent Cinematical Seven about my favorite Bruce Campbell moments, you know already how much I enjoy watching the actor/filmmaker onscreen. I was one of the people who refreshed her browser window continually in order to be able to score tickets to the Austin screening of My Name is Bruce, Campbell's latest film, which he directed and starred in. The first screening sold out in Austin in record time. (They added two more screenings as a result, which also sold out quickly.)
So you can well imagine my reaction when given the opportunity to interview Campbell while he was in Austin for the screening. I had fleeting nightmare visions of the interview sounding like Bridget Jones interviewing Colin Firth in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, or like one of those interviews Chris Farley used to do on Saturday Night Live ("You know that scene in Army of Darkness where you were fighting yourself? That was awesome."). Fortunately none of that happened, and the professional interviewer won out over the fangirl. After I saw My Name is Bruce and enjoyed a lively audience Q&A -- Alamo Drafthouse has posted video highlights on YouTube -- I met Campbell in a small office at the back of Alamo Ritz. We chatted about My Name is Bruce and the road tour Campbell's doing for the movie, other projects he's working on, and of course the whole Evil Dead 4 thing. Check it out after the jump. span style="font-weight: bold;">
Cinematical: You're taking My Name is Bruce on this cross-country tour --
Bruce Campbell: We're going to 22 cities and we're going to do it for two months, from now until mid-December.
Cinematical: I know you've done the road trip thing a few times.
BC: Yeah, with a couple of books. I did massive touring with those. The first book [If Chins Could Kill] was 55 cities in 5 months. That broke something. Something deep inside broke, I can never do that again. Never that many.
Cinematical: How have things changed since the first time you took a movie around on a tour like this?
BC: Technology has started to change. When I take a movie around, if I have it on a DVD, some theaters can play it. That wasn't the case before. You'd go into a movie theater and you'd see two projectors. Well, now you're starting to see one in the middle that's a digital projector. That's fun to see because that means even a local filmmaker can go to his theater and say, "Hey, can I arrange a screening on a Tuesday night, and show a DVD of my movie?" You can do that, you don't have to make a print. We made prints this time, because we wanted to be able to get into whatever theater we want. We considered a digital release, but this is better.
Cinematical: What made you want to not just star in, but direct My Name is Bruce?
BC: I directed another piece-of-crap movie called Man with the Screaming Brain, and I wanted to get in more of that -- and to have a little more control over my destiny in the low-budget world. I don't mind working in the low-budget world. It's fun to dip your foot in the Spider-Man things and have fun on somebody else's big huge movie set. But in the low-budget world, I don't want any chefs anymore because I have as much experience as anyone else on that set. This is the first time I've had enough control, where I have one person to answer to, and that's Mike Richardson [producer of My Name is Bruce and founder of Dark Horse Comics]. And he's a reasonable guy.
Cinematical: From Dark Horse.
BC: Yeah. I don't have anybody breathing down my neck. That's the appeal, to make a movie in a world where no one's really bugging you. That's the goal.
Cinematical: What if you were offered the chance to make a studio movie?
BC: I'd have to think real long and hard, because you're not getting final anything. It's a matter of -- are you doing it for the money? What are you doing it for? I know why I'm showing up for these low-budget movies, because it's a world I want to be in. I want to be there! I don't really care about budget, it's all about creativity. What's the best environment to do your thing, whatever that is.
Cinematical: And you guys were able to shoot this movie in, what? Less than a month?
BC: Twenty-three days. HD. On my property.
Cinematical: You hardly had to leave home.
BC: It's the first time in 10 years I could make a movie and sleep in my own bed. That was weird. I could call "Cut!" and wrap for the day, and literally walk about 50 feet and fall into my bed. It was awesome.
Cinematical: I remember reading an interview with you where you talked about the digital movement in theaters, and it sounded like you were promoting a return to regional filmmaking?
BC: Well, yeah! I think that if a guy can go to K-Mart, get a camera -- they've got HD cameras that are 800 bucks now. I've got a little HD camera, 800 bucks. You can buy it, shoot a movie, edit it with publicly available software on your computer, digital sound, and by God you can make a movie. And we could never do that before.
The missing link with low-budget filmmakers is distribution. But YouTube's helped, now everyone's got something on YouTube, and the internet has helped a lot for getting the word out. I hand-hold everyone through this tour on my Web site -- go here, get tickets, here's parking, here's a map, the whole bit.
Also, the theaters are getting more interesting now. Because of Landmark, because of places like this [Alamo Drafthouse], you can now go to theaters that have a bar on the roof. The experience is changing, and it's more adult. I like that. I'm sick of making movies for 17-year-old kids. I want to make stuff for adults.
This movie [My Name is Bruce] isn't for adults, necessarily. I don't know who it's for.
Cinematical: Where else has My Name is Bruce screened so far?
BC: We had little sneaks at CineVegas, and two or three other little festivals, where we thought, "Let's just sneak in and show it, and we'll see."
Cinematical: Did you pick up anything out of those screenings?
BC: I always see the lines that fall flat, and now they'll fall flat forever. That's the beauty and the curse of movies, because you can't really tinker with them. Unless you're George Lucas, going back later and fixing the stuff that didn't work, which is so offensive to me.
Cinematical: You don't want to go back and fix anything?
BC: No, because I would feel like a spoiled brat. [whiny voice] "I want to fix my movie!" Hey, man, you had a chance to fix it. So you have to live with all that, you have to live with the stinkers, and then you get to rejoice over and over to every gag that works. It works both ways, it's heaven and hell. But you learn. The idea is to come across better as a filmmaker. And a live audience will tell you anything you need. It doesn't matter if they know you're there in a theater. They don't have to respond, and they won't if they don't want to. You can't make an audience respond.
Cinematical: One thing I noticed about My Name is Bruce is that it is full of in-jokes from other movies -- actors from some of the other films --
BC: That was for the fans. I tried to get Evil Dead in there, so Ellen Sandweiss is in there, from the original Evil Dead, she plays my ex-wife. And then a guy from Evil Dead 2, and then a guy from Army of Darkness, and Ted Raimi's always in whatever I do, because that way I look better -- I look like a better actor by putting Ted in it. So yeah, a lot of it is for the fans.
But I'm hoping that the basic premise, even if you remove Bruce Campbell out of it, will still function as a story of a B-movie actor who's being thought of as a hero -- let's get him, and he'll help -- and being forced to confront our false conceptions of who these people are.
Cinematical: People are talking about JCVD in the same way, have you seen that?
BC: I finally heard about that the other day. That was the first I'd heard about it, that he was doing the same type of dealio.
Cinematical: It would make a great double-feature.
BC: And Galaxy Quest, and Three Amigos --
Cinematical: You could have a whole film festival.
BC: Of people being not who they think they are.
Cinematical: How did you like playing the horrible version of yourself?
BC: The idiot version of myself ... It wasn't hard, actually, because it's just a character. As far as I'm concerned, it's not Bruce Campbell ... I'm playing a Bruce Campbell, who drinks rotgut whiskey and abuses his dog. That wasn't a problem. I never thought, how would the real Bruce do this. I thought, how would this other guy do this. So I wasn't really thinking about Bruce Campbell, because I'm going to look like him anyway, and sound like him, so I can do whatever.
Cinematical: But how did you develop this character that's ... not you?
BC: Well, I like redemptive stories. So if you make him a jerk, maybe he's 4 percent less of a jerk by the end of the movie, after going through the big adventure. I figure if you make him an asshole, you've got somewhere to go.
Cinematical: A lot of your roles have that type of change --
BC: Yeah, the semi-unredeemable idiot. I like that, I like to see people improve, even jackass characters, just a little bit.
Cinematical: We did a Cinematical Seven this week on our favorite Bruce Campbell roles.
BC: Oh, boy.
Cinematical: Are there any that movies you especially enjoyed doing that no one ever seems to mention?
BC: A cool little film called Running Time. It's black and white, it's a crime drama, done in real time. The whole movie's one shot, just like the Hitchcock movie Rope. But we're going into vans, there's a real-time bank heist, there's a real-time love scene, we're going upstairs into rooms, out into alleys -- it's pretty ambitious for a really, really low-budget movie. People will find it over time, maybe.
Cinematical: As we noticed during the Q&A [of MNIB], people get very excited about the Evil Dead movies -- the idea of Evil Dead 4. It's been more than 15 years since Army of Darkness. What do you think is driving this?
BC: Just a sincere desire to have more. But as every year passes ... Sam [Raimi] has no ill will toward any of those movies, neither do I. They did a lot of good for us, got us started in the business. But they really take a lot of effort. Army of Darkness took 103 days of shooting. That's as much as Back to the Future 3. And that wasn't even second-unit or reshoots of any of that crap. That was a big ordeal. Hours and hours of makeup and special effects. To run that through our head again and process that, you have go to -- ooof, wow.
Sam has 5 kids now, he's this ultimate family man. And he's making Spider-Man 4. So when on earth would that [Evil Dead 4] ever happen? He said it himself, "We can always make Evil Dead 4." But he's riding a big fast train right now, and he has no intention of getting off it. Big-budget movies and Sam are a great match, he's always thought big. Always. We could never afford to do what Sam thought of -- we always felt bad as producers, we could never give him what he really wanted. And now with Spider-Man, he finally gets it, now he can go insane.
Cinematical: What's coming up next for you?
BC: Well, they ordered Season 3 for Burn Notice, so that's coming back. Whenever I'm a star on a TV show, it lasts for one year. And then whenever I'm not, it lasts for much longer. That's my cue, and now I know -- never star in a TV show again. Always let somebody else star in the show, and then just crack jokes on the side. So I'm going to let Jeffrey Donovan work his ass off for four more years, and I'll be the guy over his right shoulder.
And eventually another movie with Mike Richardson for the fall of 2009. If this [My Name is Bruce] makes money, we'll do My Name is Still Bruce -- we have an Ugly American version of that where Bruce goes to Europe and battles a succubus. So we can do that, or something else, we don't know yet. It all depends on whether anyone bothers to watch this movie. It'd be a little silly to dive in without getting the full feedback.
Cinematical: The screenings sold out here [Austin] in something like five minutes.
BC: Yeah, that was fast. The real test will be what happens when I'm gone. When I'm not in the building.
Cinematical: It sounded like people were really enjoying it here.
BC: This is a good place to launch, and if we get a good start here, the bloggers will get the word out. They're the best word of mouth you can get now, bloggers, it's like wildfire. So what we'll be relying on is good old-fashioned word of mouth. We'll see if it picks up in New York, and test different markets -- where do they like it? where do they not? We'll be going to a little of Middle America, not too much -- Decatur, Illinois, there's another cool theater, the Avon Theater, I've had some good screenings there.
So ... that's my vacation. And then back to work to pay for my vacation.

According to a rumored song list of Season 5, Episode 18: "The Back-Up Plan," Blaine (Darren Criss) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) will be performing a duet of 1D's "Story of My Life." This is definitely not the first time the boy band has been covered on Glee, with the show previously having performed "What Makes You Beautiful" and "Live While We're Young."
Rachel (Lea Michele) will be performing two songs in the episode: Avicii's recent hit "Wake Me Up," and Bette Midler's powerful classic "The Rose." This is likely to be a pivotal episode for Rachel, who jeopardizes her future with Funny Girl when she auditions for a TV pilot. Uh-oh.
Here are the tunes that we can look forward to hearing:
Avicii's "Wake Me Up" by Rachel
Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" by Mercedes and Santana
One Direction's "Story of My Life" by Klaine
Erma Franklin's "Piece of My Heart" by Blaine and June Dolloway (Shirley MacLaine)
Bette Midler's "The Rose" by Rachel

Real Housewives of New Jersey
What Are Jacqueline Laurita's Books Actually About?
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita recently teased her fans by letting them know on Twitter that she's in the process of writing a couple of books. But what are the books about? We now have the answer!
Jac tells Rumor Fix that she and husband Chris Laurita are writing a book detailing their experience of raising a child with autism. The couple's son Nicholas has been diagnosed with autistism. Plus, Jac is also writing a lifestyle book as well.
"I am writing a book with my husband about our journey with autism," Jacqueline says. "I am also writing a book with Jene Luciani, which will be more beauty/lifestyle focused for busy moms."
And that's not all! "I'm also working on children's books with my son's music therapist, Jammin Jenn," she continues. "I'd also love to do a parent training book for parents with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) kids. I love writing, and I have so many ideas. I just want the books to be helpful, hopeful, and motivating for others."
But just don't expect Jacqueline to write a book in which she dishes all about her RHoNJ co-stars. "I am not interested in doing a tell-all Housewives book," she says.
We think all of Jac's book ideas sound like winners. Indeed, every time she posts videos of Nick singing with Jammin Jenn, they're adorable.
Do you plan to buy any of Jac's books?

This game of Blackjack is played with two standard decks of 52 cards each. The object of the game, like all other games of Blackjack, is to obtain a card total that exceeds that of the dealer, but remains below 21. The game begins when the player places his bet, and then the hands are dealt out. Once the play is finished, the decks are re-shuffled before the next hand is dealt. In this game as well, Aces are worth either 1 or 11 and face cards have a value of 10.

Nearly half of US households escape fed income tax
WASHINGTON Tax Day is a dreaded deadline for millions, but for nearly half of U.S. households it's simply somebody else's problem.
About 47 percent will pay no federal income taxes at all for 2009. Either their incomes were too low, or they qualified for enough credits, deductions and exemptions to eliminate their liability. That's according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research organization.
Most people still are required to file returns by the April 15 deadline. The penalty for skipping it is limited to the amount of taxes owed, but it's still almost always better to file: That's the only way to get a refund of all the income taxes withheld by employers.
In recent years, credits for low- and middle-income families have grown so much that a family of four making as much as $50,000 will owe no federal income tax for 2009, as long as there are two children younger than 17, according to a separate analysis by the consulting firm Deloitte Tax.
Tax cuts enacted in the past decade have been generous to wealthy taxpayers, too, making them a target for President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress. Less noticed were tax cuts for low- and middle-income families, which were expanded when Obama signed the massive economic recovery package last year.
The result is a tax system that exempts almost half the country from paying for programs that benefit everyone, including national defense, public safety, infrastructure and education. It is a system in which the top 10 percent of earners - households making an average of $366,400 in 2006 - paid about 73 percent of the income taxes collected by the federal government.
The bottom 40 percent, on average, make a profit from the federal income tax, meaning they get more money in tax credits than they would otherwise owe in taxes. For those people, the government sends them a payment.
"We have 50 percent of people who are getting something for nothing," said Curtis Dubay, senior tax policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation.
The vast majority of people who escape federal income taxes still pay other taxes, including federal payroll taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare, and excise taxes on gasoline, aviation, alcohol and cigarettes. Many also pay state or local taxes on sales, income and property.
That helps explain the country's aversion to taxes, said Clint Stretch, a tax policy expert Deloitte Tax. He said many people simply look at the difference between their gross pay and their take-home pay and blame the government for the disparity.
"It's not uncommon for people to think that their Social Security taxes, their 401(k) contributions, their share of employer health premiums, all of that stuff in their mind gets lumped into income taxes," Stretch said.
The federal income tax is the government's largest source of revenue, raising more than $900 billion - or a little less than half of all government receipts - in the budget year that ended last Sept. 30. But with deductions and credits, especially for families with children, there have long been people who don't pay it, mainly lower-income families.
The number of households that don't pay federal income taxes increased substantially in 2008, when the poor economy reduced incomes and Congress cut taxes in an attempt to help recovery.
In 2007, about 38 percent of households paid no federal income tax, a figure that jumped to 49 percent in 2008, according to estimates by the Tax Policy Center.
In 2008, President George W. Bush signed a law providing most families with rebate checks of $300 to $1,200. Last year, Obama signed the economic recovery law that expanded some tax credits and created others. Most targeted low- and middle-income families.

I'm looking for a photo gallery for Windows Phone 7. Something that looks and works the same as the built-in photo viewer (slide photo's using a flick action, resize using pinch, drag). When you flick the image you can see it sliding to the next image...and snaps the list to that image.
I already built the resize and drag functionality for the images. I just can't figure out how to create the actual photo slider.
Can anyone point me into the right direction?
Things i've tried:
Pivot Viewer (doesn't work because it interferes with the drag functions of the image, haven't been able to disable the pivot viewer touch)
Plain listbox (can't find how to snap to the current image)
Thanks in advance

Martin Brodeur had 18 saves, stopping a break-in by Blake
Wheeler and a shot in close by Bryan Little in the final minute as
New Jersey jumped from 12th place in the Eastern Conference to 10th with 13 games left in the regular season.
The Devils also got the benefit of having an apparent tying goal
by Evander Kane waved off with 37.4 seconds remaining because of a high stick.

The UPA government is all set to push for the reintroduction of a non-lapsable railway safety fund (RSF) pegged at Rs 66,000 crore, the largest safety fund in the history of Indian railways. The previous RSF with a corpus of R17,000 crore was started by the NDA government in 2002-03 by the then railway minister Nitish Kumar which lapsed on April 1, 2008.
The proposed RSF will go towards the renewal of over-aged assets of track, bridges, signalling gear and rolling stock within a fixed time frame of 5-6 years.
To raise the required money for the proposed RSF, the railways is mulling over several options including raising money through railway bonds and levying safety cess on passenger tickets as suggested by former rail minister Dinesh Trivedi. Sources said the rail ministry may rope in the financing arm of Indian railways Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC). The option is to allow IRFC to come out with a bond issue. Around R10,000 crore could easily be raised through IRFC, said a railway officer.
Other options before the railway ministry include commitment of dividend-free grant by the finance ministry (around R20-24,000 crore spread over the next 5-6 years) and a contribution from the Central Road Fund (R5,000-6,000 crore). The rail ministry will also contribute from the Railway Safety Works Fund (maintained by the finance ministry), out of the dividend payable to general revenues. The ministry is also in favour of imposing a small safety cess (between R5 to R10) on railway tickets to generate upto to R10,000 crore annually.
Sources in the rail ministry told FE that the RSF was earlier pegged at R40,000 crore which has now been scaled up to R66,000 crore at the behest of the new rail minister whose focus are is the upgrade of critical safety infrastructure in railways rather than announcing big-ticket projects.
The minister has taken note of the current finances of railways and is understood to be exploring various sources raise the money for this fund. The ministry of finance would soon be approached for a grant for this safety fund as it was done in 2002, said a senior railway officer.
Well be asking for a one time grant from the ministry of finance. When the first fund was set up in 2002-03, the grant came from the ministry of finance. While it is correct that our financial performance has not been on the expected lines in recent
