With Turkey Day just around the corner, everyone seems to have their knickers in a twist about turkey, stuffing and all that nonsense. Sure, it's all delicious (and don't even get me started on the binge-fest known as "dessert"), but I'm getting a bit of a head start on the unsung, fail-safe hero of the Thanksgiving table. I'm giving it up for the cranberry.
Pigeonholed into a can-molded, jellied sidekick to turkey or juiced companion to vodka and lime, the breadth of the cranberry's abilities is far-reaching and delicious. Think of it as going great with more than just poultry or booze. Take a hanger steak, for instance. It is rich, meaty and sings in perfect harmony with the tart, acidic flavor of cranberries.
This time of year, picking up fresh cranberries is easy-breezy, but when the cornucopias and tinsel find their way back into the holiday storage bin, remember the humble cranberry (he does live in the freezer section in the off-season). Think what a great companion he was at the holidays, and savor that all year long.
Hanger Steaks With Ginger-Cranberry Sauce
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Active Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
2 (8-ounce) hanger steaks, at room temperature
Salt and ground black pepper
1-1/2 cups fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon honey
Zest and juice of 1 small orange
1 spring rosemary, leaves removed and roughly chopped
1 (1-inch) knob ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper and sear in the skillet, turning once, until cooked to your desired doneness (about 6 minutes per side for medium). Let the cooked steaks rest on a plate for about 10 minutes before slicing.
While the steaks are cooking, in the bowl of a food processor combine the cranberries, honey, orange zest and juice, rosemary and ginger. Pulse the machine 15 to 20 times to coarsely chop and combine all of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve the cranberry sauce.
Serve the steaks by thinly slicing them against the grain and garnishing with the reserved cranberry sauce.
NOTE: This sauce is incredibly flexible and can be adapted to whatever flavor profile you like. Instead of ginger-rosemary, try adding in chipotle in adobo with cilantro or even grapefruit with basil.
I like to round out this meal with some steamed brown rice or — even better — roasted squash (it is fall, after all).

Tooting and Mitcham boss Roberto Forzoni has admitted that he "massively" underestimated the style of football they would face in the Ryman League Division One South.
After relegation from the Premier Division, Forzoni began this season by recruiting a young squad and promoting a passing style of football.
However, the Terrors' only league win came on the opening day and since then they have lost three on the bounce.
Admitting they were facing stronger and more "tactical shrewd" teams, Forzoni has brought in a raft of experienced names to change the club's fortunes.
He said: "The physicality of teams at this level seems to be more important than technique and speed.
"We lost against Faversham and Horsham who are physical sides – they play in a direct way but it is effective.
"We need to learn how to deal with those types of games and we need to learn pretty quick or we'll go into Christmas at the bottom of the league and no one wants that."
Forzoni has recruited former Dulwich Hamlet skipper and central defender Francis Duku, right back Ryan Adams and Tyrone Berry, a former Crystal Palace midfielder.
Ahead of the league trip to Three Bridges on Saturday, Forzoni said: "I massively underestimated how effective teams' direct and physical football would be.
"Some teams' average is five or six years older than ours and they are a lot shrewder and cleverer players. Hopefully our new players will help the younger cope better."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/10/2013 (1416 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The chance to give Teemu Selanne another moment in the prairie sun took precedence over the hockey game back in 2011, but on this night, likely the last time Winnipeg would get to see its prodigal hockey prince, victory was more important than fealty.
It was kind of like the second time a kid comes home from college and finds his bedroom turned into a den and his high-school sweetie dating (what used to be) his best friend.
The first trip home, nothing had changed and mom did his laundry and cooked his favourites. The second? Good to see you, here's money for pizza. Mom has bingo tonight.
'It was kinda cool when he came back two years ago. But that means absolutely nothing to me now'-- Jets forward Evander Kane on Teemu-mania
Two points has become more important than nostalgia as the Winnipeg Jets strive to grow from a cute story to a serious franchise.
And when the Jets failed to deliver on their end Sunday night, they got a sharp reminder from their fans that now more is expected. A clumsy effort in the final minute had the fans booing the home side. They were clear on what they wanted. No sentimentality. A win and nothing else.
The crowd is growing demanding. They expect the Jets to keep pace.
Certainly, Selanne received a warm hello, but there was none of the cloying nostalgia from the first time around. This was different. Kind of like, "Hey Teemu. Great to see you. Thanks for everything. Now we've got some business to take care of and it might sting a little."
The love-in wasn't the story.
Everyone was glad to see Selanne and no one will ever forget the magic his skates, stick and smile once created here. But, Evander Kane, who just happens to now be the man Jets fans currently love to love the most, summed up the relevance of the moment in respectful but direct fashion prior to the game.
"I'm not trying to be mean, but me, personally, I couldn't care less about that now to be honest," said Kane. "It was kinda cool when he came back two years ago. But that means absolutely nothing to me now. It's about us winning the hockey game and playing well and getting the two points."
Kane played like he meant what he said. A number of his teammates didn't get the message.
Selanne himself could feel the change in temperature prior to the game.
"I had a chance to come two years ago and that was unbelievable," he said Sunday morning. "I don't really expect anything like that again, but it's fun to be here. I almost hoped I wouldn't have to come back here, because that was an absolutely perfect night. We lost, but it was something I was always going to remember."
The fans gave him a roar during the anthem when his face appeared on the scoreboard and then another midway through the first when the Jets paid him tribute with a quick announcement. Thirty seconds of standing ovation and then back to business. When he was named first star, he gave a nice little twirl and a half-full house threw down some love. Then it was back to grousing about the way the Jets had played.
Mark Chipman didn't bring this franchise back to Winnipeg to live in the memories of Jets 1.0. He wants new ones.
Cute is fine but it gets old. Contending and putting fear into opponents on a consistent basis is far more rewarding and lasting.
Teemu Selanne will wake up in California this morning. The Jets will rise to a 2-1 record.
Nostalgia doesn't pay the bills. The here and now does.

Maximize Your Blenderby Robin Miller in Uncategorized, February 3, 2013
There's one kitchen appliance that seems relegated to smoothies, margaritas and slushies. Think beyond drinks and get creative with this useful kitchen tool:
- Puree eggs with a little water or milk before making omelets. Using the blender adds air to the egg mixture and produces a lighter, fluffier omelet.
- Turn chunky soups into velvety purees (puree soup in small batches to prevent overflow and cover the lid with a towel to prevent burns).
- Puree softened light vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt to create a rich sauce for fresh fruit and slices of angel food cake and quick breads.
- Make pesto: puree fresh herbs, toasted nuts, garlic and olive oil until smooth, adding oil, broth or water as necessary to create a thick puree. For herbs, try parsley, basil and cilantro. For nuts, try toasted pine nuts, walnuts and almonds.
- Make your own salad dressings: combine vinegar (red wine, balsamic, sherry or cider vinegar), olive oil and mustard (Dijon or honey mustard) and puree until smooth; add shallots, garlic and fresh herbs as desired.
- Grind whole peppercorns for a distinctly fresh black pepper taste. You can also grind white and pink peppercorns or combine black, pink and white to create a peppercorn medley.
- Grind whole coffee beans: grind on the "crush ice" setting and process until you reach the desired grind.

Topic: New/questions
My grandfather was diagnosed with this vicious disease yesterday. He is 96 years old and has chosen not to receive any treatment, other than palliative, which is understandable. He has been weak for a long time anyway....some mild congestive heart failure, etc. In his own words, he's "ready to go home and be with the Lord."
My question is this: how long do we have realistically? No one will tell me straight. Some say "could be 3-6 months", but that seems like a lot. He is barely eating, so jaundiced he's a dark orange color, his breathing seems labored already.....he doesn't seem to be in pain yet, but honestly, he's the type of man who wouldn't tell you if he was. He is itching alot, because I see him scratching almost constantly....he MAY have eaten about 4 bites of dinner last night.
Given all this, can anyone give me a better timeline? I know each case is different, but I have a lot of family out of state, and I need to be able to give them some sort of information so they can make the decision to fly out now or wait- they'd like to see him while he's still lucid. 3 months just seems sooooo long given how he currently seems to me.
Thanks for anything you can tell me.

Do we have an inspiration gap?
Imagine a situation where you finally have something you and others have yearned for for years and yet it has now become common and people have become blasé about it. You struggle to get everyone excited about it, to find it relevant to their work and daily lives, to take advantage of it. No, I'm not talking about the right to vote in the US. I'm talking about Adobe's great tools and technologies.
After years of conversations and negotiations my institution, Indiana University (IU), signed an Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) with Adobe giving our students, faculty and staff access to Creative Suite, Captivate, Lightroom and others. At first they melted the wires downloading it, but now it's become commonplace. Sure the Fine Arts, Journalism and IST students are still in hog heaven, but what about the Business or Chemistry students? How can we make it relevant to them? Think of how well Mendeleev could have presented the Periodic Table if he'd been able to throw together a mock-up in Fireworks. And imagine how much more accessible E=mc2 would have been to the average reader if Einstein could have added an Edge animation to his landmark "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" paper.
How can we broaden the conversation about Adobe tools? How do we get our entire school populations to think outside of the creativity box? This software is not just about makin' thangs purty. This software helps us express ideas – sometime simple, sometimes complex. It should be an arrow in our communications quiver. We need to help our communities screw in and turn on the lightbulbs of inspiration. These tools are for everyone.
How. Do. We. Do. This?
First, we need be sure the tools are up to it. Are they simple enough to use? DW has a nice drop-down list to change the layouts. Can you make a "for dummies" layout that gives you just the essentials and removes the finery? if Adobe can simplify the UI for the touch apps, why can't they give us an option for a simplified UI in the desktop apps. Sure, we want to power, but only when we need it. The rest of the time we want simplicity. Imagine Steve Jobs designing an SUV. It would be able to 4-wheel up the mountain when necessary, but the rest of the time it would be a car simple enough for anyone to drive to the grocery store. Can we get reach those heights of UI simplicity for PS or IA?
Second, we need someone – the community? Adobe? – to examine the WHOLE education space, not just when the teacher is in the classroom with the students, and develop relevant examples to seemingly mundane activities for all to see. Adobe Connect for office hours? Not really flexing the muscles of the product, but it is simple, relevant and gets people using the tool. A time-lapse profit chart in a Business student's company case-study report? It will not only blow away his professor, but it will give the student a deeper understanding of the content. It might even be their gateway drug to other CS apps… The list goes on.
I have the greatest respect for those who work and teach in the visual and creative arts. I am envious of their talents. However it is far too easy for the Adobe Creative Wow Factor, exemplified by their work and the praise it justifiably receives, to so dominate the conversation. It can seem unattainable to and shut down the imaginations of those who exercise less artistic pursuits.
We need inspiration. We need examples. We need to show a broad spectrum of use cases from across the academic spectrum. Adobe tools for the poets and scientists! Adobe tools for music and pre-med! Adobe tools for the researchers! Adobe tools for the secretaries! If the tools can be used by everyone (jury is still out on that question), then lets show everyone using them.
This may not seem relevant to you. You may be in a school where getting the software is a struggle. It was a struggle for us too. That's why keeping it, by showing its ROI, is so important.
Stand up and be counted! Share your thoughts.

Man accused of beating his cousin
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 4:47 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 4:47 p.m.
A Newberry man was arrested on multiple charges early Tuesday morning related to the alleged beating of his cousin, according to an Alachua County Sheriff's Office arrest report.
Ozell R. Hoyt, 19, of 25761 NW 4th Ave., was charged with domestic battery and illegal possession of prescription medicine.
The incident was reported about 3 a.m. Hoyt and his cousin live in the same house and she told a deputy that an altercation started when Hoyt confronted her about money she owed him, the report states.
When she refused to give him the money, Hoyt reportedly pushed her to the ground, pinned her down and punched her multiple times in the face.
Hoyt told authorities he pushed his cousin but did not fight her. The reported states he had scratches on his knuckles and elbows while the cousin had several bumps on her head and an injured lip.
Meanwhile, a pill bottle with 46 prescription pills but no label was found in Hoyt's pocket, the report states, adding that he did not have a prescription for the medicine. That resulted in the additional charge against Hoyt.

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. - The Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities says the placement of a 97-year-old murder suspect in its care was improper.
Now the agency is asking for a court order to be stayed pending an appeal.
A St. Johns County judge ruled that Amanda Stevenson be housed at one of the agency's facilities. Stevenson has been ruled not competent to stand trial in the shooting death of her nephew.
The agency says it doesn't have the capabilities to deal with her dementia and other medical issues. The agency says its mission is to treat those with mental retardation or autism, and none of the five psychologists who examined Stevenson made that finding.
Stevenson is accused of killing her nephew, 53-year-old John Rice, in September 2011 -- shooting him in the chest while he was lying in bed.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/3/2013 (1620 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
We are fortunate to belong to a group that shares Jets season tickets. Our seats are in the very last row of the third tier so we have a bird's-eye view of the whole facility.
Not only can we watch the game, but we can watch the fans, too. With each pass of the puck we all lean forward in our seats as one entity. There is the collective intake of breath, then a chorus of cheers or a unified groan. A moving mass of Jets jerseys, with the occasional opposition colours (received with good-natured competitive camaraderie, of course), add flavour to the crowd dynamics. While I truly enjoy the venue, it is merely one example of my favourite place.
The ideal of my favourite place is more deeply rooted in being a Prairie girl born and raised. There is no doubt some of my greatest memories are tied to winter. I belong to a three-generation hockey family. We are blessed with the unique experience not everyone in Canada can enjoy -- the outdoor community club rink.
When my family was young, the most exciting thing about December was not just the holiday season, it was the arrival of outdoor ice. It has been a December ritual through my son's childhood and now my grandson's to drive by the community club on a daily basis to see the progress for flooding the rink. The anticipation ran high for that first outdoor skate and the call out to friends to "meet at the rink."
Throughout the winter there were drive-bys to see if the lights were on and the "shack" was open. The kids would play shinny with whomever was there and would not come home until the place closed down for the night regardless of how cold it was.
Many a winter weekend was spent at outdoor hockey tournaments that seemed to land on the coldest weeks in recorded history. There wasn't a Sorel boot or thermal sock that could keep my feet from freezing before the third period of any game. Spectators would stand huddled together like frozen herring along the boards, not wanting to miss any of the action and perhaps hoping to scavenge some meager heat from the person beside them.
My son is a grown man now and drives himself to the rink. My oldest grandson is at an age where his hockey games are indoors. However, grandson No. 2 has carried around a mini stick in each hand since he learned to walk this winter, so I predict the rink ritual will resume in a not-too-distant winter.
Until then, sometimes when I step outside into a clear winter night, I stand quietly for a minute to listen for the scrape of skate blades, the ring of a slapshot and the chatter of children resonating through the crisp air from the outdoor rink two blocks away.
"The rink" isn't just a place, it is an experience.
Shelley Ringland is mother of three amazing grown children and grandma to two incredible grandsons. She and her husband Tim are passionate hockey grandparents and Jets fans. She works as a nurse in Winnipeg.
Do you have a
favourite place in Winnipeg?
We'd like to hear about it. There are no prizes to be won,
but if you're published, you get to bask in the admiration of your friends and feel the glow that comes from doing something nice for your city.

Neil Broom got the team off to a flyer with 47 off 40 balls at the top of the order with Doug Bracewell and (37 off 26) Derek de Boorder (37* off 23) finishing off the innings.
The South African reply was lead by Richard Levi who cracked 74 off just 40 balls but the rest of the team were unable to support the hard hitting opener.
It was the New Zealand seamers who continually plugged away with Trent Boult and Bracewell rewarded with two wickets each while Graeme Aldridge and Andy McKay picked up one apiece.
New Zealand A v Australia Institute of Sport (9.30am start)
AIS put on 151 for six and then restricted New Zealand A to 137 for eight.
Tim Armstrong provided the backbone of the AIS innings an unbeaten 74 off 66 balls with support provided by Tom Beaton (34) and Ryan Carters (27).
New ball bowler Andy McKay was outstanding taking two for 19 while Doug Bracewell picked up two for 29.
New Zealand made a shaky start to their reply with their top four batsman failing to make an impression.
Luke Woodcock fought hard and was left stranded on 52 not out off 48 balls at the end of the innings. Derek de Boorder was next best with 24 off 15.
Ben Cutting was the pick of the Australian attack with three for 15.
South Africa and India both finished with two wins and loss to be joint winners of the Twenty20 section of the Emerging Players Tournament. Third place was shared by New Zealand and AIS who won one of their three matches.

The early 1900s saw major advances in transport technology. Mankind welcomed these advances, which made life so much easier, and quickly adapted to them. Less than a century later, jets, high-speed trains and smart cars have all become part of our lives. Journeys, which used to take days are now but a matter of hours. The advances in technology are not limited to modern means of transport. Technological possibilities in many fields, especially in health, information and communications, have assumed giant dimensions. The technology which surrounds all aspects of our lives has made them easier and faster, and has therefore brought with it comfort and time saving. It is hard to say what else will change in our lives in another century. For the moment being, we can only imagine what those years will be like …
In many peoples' view, the modern buildings they live in, the cars they drive, computers, televisions and all the other countless products of technology are entirely 'man-made.' The fact is, however, that if they think a little deeper and engage in a conscious examination they will see that there is a very important truth behind these advances: Technology is also an example of Allah's blessings to mankind, and thanks must be given to Him for all these things. Let us now embark on that examination together and see why it is that technology is a blessing for which we must give thanks to Allah.
The Secret in Iron
Consider the products of technology we use. Cars, computers, televisions, ovens in our homes, the telephones we use …
All of these products are made of metals such as iron, copper, zinc and aluminum, and plastic, a by-product of oil. In other words, if these raw materials, and particularly metals, did not exist on Earth, or if mankind lacked the means to make use of them, then we would be unable to speak of technology, which makes our lives so much easier, at all.
Technology comes about when man shapes the elements found on Earth in accordance with a specific aim. Looking at just a few of these elements, we shall see what a miraculous structure these substances, with which we are so familiar, possess. Heading the list of these comes an element, which occupies a particularly important place in life as well as in technology: iron!
Iron is one of the most available elements on Earth and comprises some 5% of the Earth's crust. This element plays a major role in every stage of life, from the fundamental physical balances of the world we live in to our being able to make use of the air we breathe. In his book Nature's Destiny, which has provoked enormous interest, the famous Australian molecular biologist Michael Denton describes how the laws of nature and elements in the universe are specially tailored for human life. With respect to iron, he writes:
Of all the metals, there is none more essential to life than iron… It was the drawing by gravity of iron atoms to the center of the primeval earth, that generated the heat which caused the initial chemical differentiation of the earth, the outgassing of the early atmosphere, and ultimately the formation of the hydrosphere… (Michael Denton, Nature's Destiny, The Free Press, New York, 1998, p. 198).
Iron is also of particular importance to our respiratory systems. This substance forms a compound with oxygen in the hemoglobin in human blood. This keeps the exceedingly combustive oxygen atoms under control. Iron directs oxygen, a most valuable source of energy, to the cell's respiratory mechanism. In other words, even our breathing is made possible by iron.
What if there were no iron atoms? In that event, life would not be possible and the planet we live on would become unable to sustain life. Were there no iron, the primitive Earth would not have warmed up, and the atmosphere and hydrosphere would not have formed.
The magnetic field, which protects the Earth from meteors would not have formed, and there would be no radiation belts or ozone layer.
The Earth would be a dead planet. Iron is also the most important material basis of the civilizations established by human beings. That is because industry exists thanks to iron, and steel is made by iron combining with carbon. All of the products of advanced technology, which make our lives so much easier and so improve the quality of life, are reflections of industry. Were there no iron, then the level of technology on Earth would be no higher than simple wooden tools.
All this shows that the existence of the element known as iron, and its presence in large quantities on Earth, is a major blessing for which we must give thanks to Allah. Indeed, Allah draws attention to this fact in the Qur'an. In the Surat al-Hadid, or "Iron," He reveals:
Iron, in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind, is one of the most important blessings, which allow mankind to make technological progress. Therefore, everything made from iron and steel once again reminds us of the compassion of Allah. The buildings, cars, airplanes, railways and skyscrapers on Earth may appear to be man-made. In fact, however, they only exist because Allah has created iron and placed it in the Earth.

I would like to commend the artist and Mr. Belk for the beautiful lady that now lies in repose at the corner of Green and Academy streets. She looks like she is "at home."
Now that our state legislators have let the 2013 session end without managing to agree on vital corrections in our gun laws, I hope they can sleep at night after the next campus robbery turns into a murder or an entire church congregation is similarly victimized.
I couldn't help but respond to Joan King's bashing of Dr. Billy Graham. She is right to call herself "arrogant." Evidently she doesn't understand God's word, or doesn't read the word of God.
I have always been pro-gun, but, those out-of-state-funded TV gun commercials attacking Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isaakson have altered my thinking about the need for Congress to control people's access to weapons.
According to Shakespeare's Juliet, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Likewise, a bribe by any other name still stinks like a pigpen.
I read with interest Suzanne Ivey's recent letter to the editor about Meals on Wheels and the elderly. Her question was "Where are the churches?"
While attempting to disarm U.S. citizens, our government is arming itself to the teeth: At least 73 federal agencies have their own private armies here in the U.S., including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Office, the Department of Education, the Food and Drug Administration, the Inspector General's office of the Department of Agriculture, the Bureau of Land Management, the Library of Congress and Veterans Affairs.
While it was wonderful to read in this week's Times that Meals On Wheels has caught up with its waiting list, part of the story saddened me. When I read that "for people like (the widower featured in the story), the brief visit and chat may be the only human interaction he has in a day," I couldn't help but wonder: Where are the churches?
Jim Scharnagel's March 20 letter on the Second Amendment is a typical interpretation of that document by current liberal dogma. His final statement is a fair summation of his feelings. "While acknowledging that firearms such as sporting rifles and shotguns for hunting, and within reason, certain weapons for self-protection should be allowed, such rights were not addressed by the Second Amendment but rather a right to keep and bear arms for security of the state."
Jim Scharnagel is wrong about so many things (March 20 letter).
I am both insulted and amused by my inclusion in the "vacuous political and pseudo-science class" and, regretfully, I have not participated in colloquiums sponsored by MENSA, a vacuous pseudo-science class if ever there was one. However, the scientific debate over global warming should not be trivialized and the gross misstatements printed need to be corrected.
In his letter "Second Amendment was meant for militias, not armed civilians," Jim Scharnagel makes the case that the Second Amendment was never intended to allow private ownership of firearms. While I agree with some of his points, the overarching theme is not one of them.
The hasty rush to approval for a new Falcons stadium in Atlanta has both a bad odor and a hidden agenda.
Jim Gorman claimed, in a March 19 letter in The Times, that he has researched climate change and written articles on the subject. His conclusion: "There is not one shred of genuine scientific data that proves the theory of global warming. Nor is there consensus in the scientific community."
This is in response to Jim Scharnagel's letter from March 20 about the Second Amendment being meant for militias and not armed civilians.

I am very excited today because our guest is the lovely and talented author, Doris O'Connor! She's here to share her new release, Too Devious to Tame, but first, is going to answer the Valentine's Kissy Question I've been posing to February's guests. Special treat–looks like she's gotten a little help from her sexy friend, Giorgio.
and Giorgio…ooh la la
So, is a kiss meant to be more romantic or more heroic? Meaning is it meant more to give pleasure to the person or to stake a claim to them? Take it away, Doris…
It depends on the circumstances, I think. A kiss can be a merging of souls or it can be hard and punishing, bruising, arousing, and on the flip side of this, also distasteful. My heroine Jemima is certainly no stranger to the whole range of kissing that can happen, and neither is Giorgio, but I shall let him speak on that subject.
This is his favourite kind of kissing, as taken from the story:
"Sssshh, cara mia, you can. Trust me." Kissing the new tears away, he felt her sigh of surrender, when his mouth found hers. She opened tentatively, and he wasted no time to swoop in and taste her. The salt of her tears mixed in with the sweet scent that was all her. She tasted of chocolate and vanilla and strawberries all rolled into one, and he took his time exploring her. He nipped and suckled, savoring the taste of her exploding on his tongue, and he barely suppressed his grunt of triumph, when her tongue touched his. They danced together for a while, the kiss growing more urgent, and passionate, only breaking contact to draw much needed oxygen into their lungs, before they delved back into each other.
Giorgio couldn't even remember the last time he'd taken the time to simply make out. It had probably been with her. She had been the only woman he ever cared enough about to enjoy the simple things, to make love rather than have sex.
(Is it okay if we pause the spotlight to swoon for a second? Wow. Now that was a kiss worth its weight in hot, tender manliness. Thank you for sharing, Doris.)
When Giorgio Giovanni tracks the troublesome Jemima down in a hospital bed in Italy, he has one thing on his mind—revenge. However, the fragile woman he encounters is not the devious female he remembers. When it becomes clear that she is in danger, he risks everything to keep her safe.
Left for dead, Jemima wakes up in hospital, terrified, and with no idea of her identity. The angry man, who comes to claim her, is the only link to a shared past she can't remember. A past that threatens to destroy them, and all she has ever held dear.
With danger all around them, and their sexual chemistry off the scale, can they find their way back to each other, or is the past too devious to tame?

How to surf anonymously on the internet
Hello everyone, I'm from China, may I ask how to break the Internet blockade, feel free to browse the Internet, we are here blip-tv, and youtube in China have been blocked! Set up a lot of proxy server and still can not visit, ask you to think there is any good way?

I like BackTrack also like this forum. Thank archangel.amael
This is mostly a question ( inquiring trols want to know). I'm just wondering about phrase "regardless of country". What if ownership of BT4 was illegal in a country? Or even ownership of port scanners? Should we remove "how to" videos that include those?
Basically the question is: Do we really try to enforce "illegal activity" forum rule against "illegal" as defined in all 195 countries in the world?
Hack the Planet! (As long as you own the planet, hacking the planet does not violate any federal or local laws, planet consented in writing, and it does not violate any End User Agreements on planet software or hardware).
The request was very specifically targeted at "how to break the Internet blockade" from within China. I think that pretty well covers the "i'm attempting to break the law" rule.
Even if I consider it every (other) citizens obligation to circumvent this sort of filtering, there are certain rules to consider - and an obvious attempt to bypass a governments (and presumably legal) filtering system is one of them.
Of course, I don't speak for the OffSec team, only as one armchair lawyer.
But coming from Australia, this sort of thing always pricks my interest these days
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
My interest was more how broadly or narrowly the forum rule should be interpreted. Does the question has to state or imply?
"After the new laws went into effect here in Germany port scanners are hard to get, where do I download best port scanner?"
"I was going to encrypt my hard drive, but here in France strong encryption is not available, How do i download Fedora 12, from US source?"
"where do I download best port scanner?"
" How do i download Fedora 12, from US source ( while being from other country)?"
This questions wear not aimed at questioning specific action of our great moderating staff But just attempt at starting what I perceive to be interesting conversation (we all have our own quirks"
I have answered this in several other threads. It basically boils down to this. I only interpret what I see as illegal and as such, I don't presume, nor care to know the law in every country the world over.
But if I feel that it would be in violation of the forum rules then I will enforce or make note of it. If there is a case that I don't know what to do then I generally go straight to Pure_hate and or Balding_Parrot and will ask for their advice.
EDIT: Further more every single post on the forum has a "report this post" button for those who wish to report violations of the forum rules.

I've been using proxychains but he blip-tv and youtube is useless, or can not access, I am helpless!
Humm did you try to use Tor,
I v seen that s not easy to install due to internet search restriction but :
To install try :
Step One: Download Tor. If blocked, there are mirrors and Google cache. w w w.torproject.org/finding-tor.h t m l
Step Two: Install Tor.
Step Three: Browse the wiki, etc.
or :
or those who couldn't figure out how to use the google cache to look for tor mirrors,
these are a few of the mirrors for the Tor Website..
tor.zdg-gmbh.eu/]Tor: anonymity online
w w w .theonionrouter.com/]Tor: anonymity online
Then try :
use bridges. see here: h t t p://cubiclemuses.com/cm/articles/2009/09/27/tor-blocked-in-china/]Cubicle Muses - Tor Blocked in China
Maybe it will help you (but BP is not > 10ko ...
I think if it is the Chinese Government that has blocked access to blip-tv, youtube, and probably many other sites, do you really want to find a way to "break" that restriction.
I think that would be a very bad move considering what a government force can do to an individual. From what I understand they are insanely brutal in China, but I could be wrong, can't believe everything I hear or read.
PS: The way I browse "anonymously" is anonymouse.org

By Rick Mannshardt, Oakland Zoo Employee
As someone who's spent more than twenty years working at the Oakland Zoo, I've had the opportunity to get to know this place pretty well. It's become a big part of my life. Working as a carpenter in the Zoo's maintenance department, I keep all the fences and gates, roofs and doors, and hundreds of other structures around here in working order. It takes a lot to keep a seven-day-a-week zoo running—you might say the animals are pretty hard on the furniture. Our tiny 6-person maintenance crew struggles to keep up with it all. The same goes for the Zoo in general.
What we really need are more resources—and support from the community. Right now Measure A1 is poised to accomplish this. This November, you'll have the chance to voice your support by voting yes for this badly needed initiative. What it does is this: Measure A1 seeks voter approval to authorize an annual special parcel tax to maintain humane animal care and basic needs, and to maintain children's educational programs. For a modest $12 per residential parcel and comparable rate for commercial property, the measure helps to ensure that the Oakland Zoo can continue its work in providing food, medical care, heating & cooling, and safe enclosures for its collection of animals, retain qualified veterinarians and animal specialists, care for wounded and endangered animals, support wildlife conservation—all this while keeping entrance fees affordable. It also allows the Zoo to continue its level of excellence in offering children's nature and science programming to students at a time when many schools are cutting back on such programs.
But you don't need to take our word for it. Numerous community leaders and business people have pledged their support for this important measure. Here's what just a few of them have to say:
"Yes on A1 allows the Oakland Zoo to continue quality care for zoo animals."
Jim Maddy, President/CEO, National Association of Zoos and Aquariums
"Oakland Zoo animals deserve quality care. Many are retired circus animals or animals rescued from abuse—Yes on A1 ensures more animals can be rescued and get the care they need."
Laura Maloney, Co-Director, Performing Animals Welfare Society (PAWS)
"Yes on A1 supports the Oakland Zoo's wildlife conservation and animal rescue efforts, saving animals wounded in the wild and giving sanctuary to endangered species."
Ron Kagen, Founding member, Center for Zoo Animal Welfare
You might be asking: how do we know the money will be spent on these specific things? Measure A1 requires an Independent Citizens Oversight Committee to ensure funds are spent as promised to you, the taxpayer. By law, the A1 Oversight Committee must include Conservation/Environmental and Animal Rights representatives, the League of Women Voters, Taxpayer and Senior advocates, and a PTA representative.
It's pretty straightforward. For just a dollar a month, you're helping to ensure that the Oakland Zoo can
continue to provide:
- Quality Humane Animal Care
- Basic Animal Needs
- Educational Programs for Children
- Ongoing Zoo Affordability & Visitor Safety
And here's an easy way to remember. In November, when you get to your local polling place, simply think "A for Animals." Then vote YES for Measure A1. With your support we can continue the valuable work we've been doing in the community these many years. Thank you and we hope to see you at the Oakland Zoo!

Topic: We did our first Relay For Life.
We did our First Relay For Life on Friday night. We had a lot of fun as a family. It was a very moving and emotional time for us. We raised around $1800, which was pretty good for a team of 8 people. You can check out pictures from our blog.
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

PATTON VILLAGE,Texas - A Montgomery County man was accused of having a pipe bomb in his truck when he was pulled over Friday morning for a traffic violation in Patton Village, according to police.
Police said they found a pipe bomb in the truck with Florida plates that was driving through a rural neighborhood.
Patton Village police called the ATF, the Montgomery County Fire Marshal's office and the Houston Police bomb squad. They all suited up, carried their firearms and caravanned into the owner's neighborhood on Park Lane. Police dogs searched in and around the home. Investigators said they found more bomb making components. Detectives said the man told them that he wanted to see what the bomb would do.
"They arrived. They identified the item as being an explosive device. Subsequent to that, an individual was arrested for that," Patton Village Police Sgt. Salvador Delariva said.
A witness said there were children in the home not far from a city park.
Police said the driver is charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, a third degree felony. Police are not yet releasing details of the arrest of a second person.

HOUSE prices inched higher last quarter and annual growth was barely positive, a sign past rate cuts are having only a tepid impact and an open door to more easing ahead even as the Reserve Bank's kept rates on hold on Tuesday.
The Australian house price index rose by just 0.3 per cent in the third quarter, following a 0.5 per cent rise in the second quarter, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Over the year to September, they grew 0.3 per cent following a 2.1 per cent drop.
Economists polled by Bloomberg expected a 1 per cent rise in the quarter, amid firmer auction clearance rates and lower interest rates. For the year to September, analysts forecast a 0.8 per cent rise.
The housing market has sent mixed signals in recent months. Auction clearance rates in Sydney and Melbourne have risen, but demand for home loans remains at a 35-year low and new home sales have fallen.
Commonwealth Bank chief economist Michael Blythe said the market was starting to reflect rate cuts from the middle of the year, but that things were still very patchy.
''There are lags in these things, so the September-quarter data will reflect decisions made midyear, when the latest round of rate cuts began,'' he said. He warned that the outlook for property was unclear.

Topic: Still well 12 months after diagnosis
My husband (63) was diagnosed with CC in November last year after a routine scan. The tumour was already 12cm at that time but was positioned so that the liver could still work well. Since that date he has had CAT scans every 3 months and the tumour has spread to both lobes and a localised limph node. As he has been well he has elected not to start chemotherapy, but I am scared that as the tumour is growing we should seriously consider it now. Has anyone any experience of CC has no symptoms? I am scared that when he finally does get ill things will progress very fast. We try to forget aboutit and get on with our life, but we are increasingly aware that we are just waiting for him to get ill. He is starting to get dull aches on both sides of his body and his abdomen is slightly distended but that is all. Any advice anyone please?

Andrew Khoury sent this information to me, basing the instructions on his solution to a customer's problem.
I posted a solution to the problem in which the journal files for CRX grew and became a problem. The journal files are tar files in which the repository stores its information. However, items greater than 4KB are not stored in the repository tar files. Instead, CRX stores that data in a set of indexed files found within the crx-quickstart/repository/repository/datastore directory.
Like the tar journal files, these files have data appended, not rewritten. So the size of the datastore directory grows with each deployment that contains files larger than 4KB.
Just as there is a garbage collection functionality for repository tar files, there is a way to do garbage collection on the datastore. Running garbage collection removes unused items from the datastore directory and decreases the amount of its data.
Experience Services and CQ are both built using CRX as their base. So the instructions for CRX applies to the Experience Services and CQ servers, as well.
Running Datastore Garbage Collection
- Go to http://[server domain]:[server port]/crx and log in as administrative user
- Click Repository Configuration
- Click Datastore Garbage Collection
- Check all boxes and click Run (if it runs successfully then you are done)
If this process completes successfully, you are done.
If Datastore Garbage Collection fails with an error
Look at the error in the application server log and crx-quickstart/logs/crx/error.log. You may see "File not found: 123," where 123 corresponds to the id number of a tar file. If so, first try to restore the tar file that corresponds to that id from a backup. For example, the tar file for id 123 would be crx-quickstart/workspaces/crx.default/data_00123.tar. The number in the data tar file name is always padded to five digits so add zeros before the number to make it five digits.
Next steps
If an error occurred, do the following. Do the rest of these steps even if you were not able to restore the missing tar file(s).
- Stop the application server or the quickstart server.
- If using *nix, log into the server via ssh and cd to the crx-quickstart directory. If using Windows, go to the crx-quickstart drectory.
- Make backups of the tar index files. Within the *nix environment use these commands:
cd repository/version
mkdir index_tar_backup
mv index*.tar index_tar_backup/
chmod 640 data*.tar
cd ../workspaces/crx.default
mkdir index_tar_backup
mv index*.tar index_tar_backup/
chmod 640 data*.tar
- Backup crx-quickstart/workspaces/crx.default/workspace.xml as crx-quickstart/workspaces/crx.default/workspace.xml.backup
- Open crx-quickstart/workspaces/crx.default/workspace.xml in a text editor
- Comment out the PersistenceManagerelement:Before:
<PersistenceManager class="com.day.crx.persistence.tar.TarPersistenceManager"/>
<!--PersistenceManager class="com.day.crx.persistence.tar.TarPersistenceManager"/-->
- Add a new persistence manager element with the consistency check parameters set:
<PersistenceManager class="com.day.crx.persistence.tar.TarPersistenceManager">
<param name="consistencyCheck" value="true" />
<param name="consistencyFix" value="true" />
- Restart the application server or the quick start server
- Monitor start up by tailing crx-quickstart/logs/crx/error.log and watch fo any errors. In the error.log you will see something very similar to the following when the start up is complete:
02.03.2012 15:39:52 *INFO * CRXHttpServlet: PackageShareServlet initialized. (CRXHttpServlet.java, line 52)
02.03.2012 15:39:52 *INFO * CRXHttpServlet: PackageManagerServlet initialized. (CRXHttpServlet.java, line 52)
02.03.2012 15:40:04 *INFO * TarUtils: File system status: created 200 files in 14 ms (14285 ops/sec) (TarUtils.java, line 782)
02.03.2012 15:40:04 *INFO * TarUtils: File system status calculated in 35 ms (TarUtils.java, line 795)
- Go to http://[server domain]:[server port]/crx and log in as an administrative user
- Click Repository Configuration
- Click Datastore Garbage Collection
- Check all boxes and click Run
- Edit the file, crx-quickstart/workspaces/crx.default/workspace.xml, replacing it with the original version that was backed up.

Sherbet Shades: Spring Nail Trends
Name: Olivier Lebrun
Speciality: Parisian hairstylist Olivier Lebrun serves up the textured, matte finish favored by actresses and models such as Emma Watson and Constance Jablonski.
Secret weapon: Lebrun revives lifeless hair by blasting just the roots with L'Oréal Elnett hairspray and then blow-drying. "It adds volume and shine," he says.
Quick fix: To prevent static and flyaway strands, Lebrun rinses hair with S.Pellegrino sparkling natural mineral water. "I can't explain why," Lebrun says. "It just works!"
The kit: 1. Rinsing with S.Pellegrino sparkling water "boosts body"; 2. Bumble and Bumble Styling Lotion smooths hair before a blow-out; 3. Schwarzkopf Osis+ Magic Finish "protects damaged hair"; 4. Tigi Bed Head Superstar Queen for a Day Thickening Spray "makes hair malleable and easy to style"; 5. Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Moisture Whip Leave-In Conditioner restores brittle strands.

Olivia Wilde, Rachel Weisz, and Keira Knightley book him months in advance for their photo shoots, and major magazines (including ELLE) keep him on speed dial. "The best blow-drys start with a good foundation of product," says Skervin, a Vidal Sassoon Pro Series hairstylist ambassador. "And don't be afraid to combo—layering a cream gloss and a smoothing spray will give a really glossy finish to hair."
Secret weapon: Don't ditch your hair-dryer nozzle—it's the key to supersleek strands. "While blow-drying, keep the nozzle pointed down, over the hair. It will concentrate the air flow and smooth without creating lift," says Skervin.
Quick fix: To nix static, a common enemy of sleek hair, Skervin sprays a brush with hairspray, then runs the bristles through strands after styling.
The kit: 1. Vidal Sassoon pro series Heat Protect & Shine Spray; 2. Vidal Sassoonpro series Color Gloss Crème softens strands; before blow-drying, Skervin mists wet hair with a 3.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The University of Pennsylvania men's golf team tied for eighth place out of 14 teams at the Macdonald Cup, hosted by Yale at the par-70 Yale Golf Course.
Penn shot 297-284-296--877 for the weekend and tied with Central Connecticut State. Illinois, the NCAA runner-up a year ago, easily won the team title; the Illini shot 269-270-268--807 to finish 33-under-par and bested second-place Yale (832) by 25 strokes. Among the other Ivy League teams in the field, Dartmouth (863) was sixth, Cornell (883) was 10th and Brown (886) was 11th.
Individually, freshman Dane Walton was Penn's low scorer; he carded 73-71-70--214 to finish at 4-over-par and tied for 18th overall. Ben Cooley (72-70-74--216) tied for 24th, while Austin Powell (77-70-76--223) tied for 45th. Freshman Matt Kern (75-73-76--224) tied for 49th, while sophomore Patrick O'Leary (79-78-85--242) was 70th overall.
Illinois' Brian Campbell shot 64-67-66--197 to finish at 13-under-par and win medalist honors in the 72-player field. Hartford's Evan Russell was a distant second, at 201.
Penn returns to action next weekend at the Temple Invitational; that event will take place at Philmont Country Club.

Heard In The Halls, Day 1: Hoover spruces it up
Published: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 11:10 p.m.
HOOVER, Ala. — The SEC Media Days location hasn't changed, but they've spruced things up. The Wynfrey is now a Hyatt with nicer rooms and the ballrooms where the interviews take place is different. For one thing, ESPN College Football Live has set up a studio at one end of the main hallway on the second floor for the first time. ESPNU has another small studio at the other end. And anyone coming up or down the escalator sees the helmets of each SEC team displayed down the middle. That's a first as are the banners hanging from the main hallway ceiling and the new logo "MD13" for the event.
Radio Row just keeps growing. It's located on the first floor in the hallway that runs from the lobby to the Galleria Mall with tables set up on each side. Well, now it runs into the mall. The last three tables on each side actually extend out into the mall's entranceway.
The consensus of the Georgia media is that the Bulldogs could lose their opener and then go on a run. Georgia faces Clemson in the first week and will have some suspensions and a young but talented defense. Big question in the hallway — can running back Todd Gurley win the Heisman Trophy if QB Aaron Murray has a big year? If they both play well, who does Georgia push for the stiff-armed one?
Although we have known for weeks that the Florida-Miami game will be a noon kickoff in Miami Gardens, some of the national media boys were incredulous to find out that the game would be played then. When the tweet went out that the Florida-Toledo game would be played at 12:21, there were a lot of "well, that's a game I won't attend" responses. College football administrators are concerned about diminishing attendance and then they play two games in Florida at noon and 12:21 p.m. to start UF's season. It's TV's world.
The first three weeks of the SEC TV schedule were released Tuesday (Florida is off the third week), but don't look for the 2014 SEC schedule to be released this week. A lot of the media members expected it because of the maximum exposure and the fact that in Destin back in May the media was told it would be a couple of weeks. But according to a source, it's simply not ready because every time they think they have it somebody complains.
The first time a coach comes to SEC Media Days, it's overwhelming but exciting. And by the third or fourth time, it's part of the job that a coach has to do but finds tedious. That would be Will Muschamp in his third tour of the zoo that is SEC Media Days. "I'm ready to go," Muschamp said after saying the same thing for the 10th time to another set of media types.

DICKINSON, Texas - Police released a sketch Monday of a man who kidnapped and sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl.
"If anything ever happens like that, scream and holler and fight back," said Regina Mott.
Her two daughters go to school in Dickinson. She wanted them to be prepared as they go back to school for the first time this new year and for the first time since the attack.
She told her daughters to "Scream and holler and go to safety. Let somebody know. I told her that that's the thing to do. Scream and holler and run and try to give a good description to catch this man."
Dickinson police said the girl was grabbed and pulled into a wooded area in the 3900 block of Cinnamon Cove Street as she walked to a friend's house shortly before 1 p.m. on Thursday.
The girl was able to scream and get away from her attacker about 10 minutes later after she was grabbed.. She ran home, covered in dirt and mud, and her father took her to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston to be examined.
"She said, 'Somebody tried to grab me and take me, daddy,' and I thought she was playing and she was crying," said the victim's father. "She said she grabbed a stick and stuck him and then went to fighting and started hollering."
The mother said she tried calling her daughter on her cellphone, but the girl didn't answer. The mother said she did not realize that at the time her daughter's cellphone was ringing, she was also fighting off the attacker.
"She's a child," said the girl's mother. "This is disgusting," "He needs to be caught and put away."
Detectives said the girl described her attacker as Hispanic, in his 20s, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and 160 to 180 pounds with a cross tattooed on his left cheek. He was last seen wearing a yellow hooded sweatshirt made of a soft material and yellow pants, which were made of a "windbreaker" type of material.
Anyone with information is asked to call Dickinson police at 281-337-4700 or Crime Stoppers at 409-945-8477.

Houston - As I was researching this story I started to wonder how synthetic marijuana came into being. The short answer is research chemicals.
According to chemists and toxicologists at the Harris County Institute For Forensic Science, the most common form of synthetic marijuana came from earnest university research. Researchers were trying to come up with a synthetic cannabinoid for medicinal purposes. In other words, create a synthetic substance that would give a person the medicinal benefits of cannabis without all the "druggy" effects.
Like any good researcher does, the findings were widely published. While accounts differ as to which researcher's work on this subject was copied, it appears the honest work done on these compounds was taken and used for what police say is an explosion of synthetic marijuana being marketed under several different brand names.
A forensic chemist at the Institute, Kay McClain says re-creating the chemical compounds is not extremely difficult. "Anybody with a basic chemistry degree can do it," McClain said.

BWW Reviews: New BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Tour Can't Compare to Original
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is a "tale as old as time" and while the story and music are wonderful and as good as the audience may remember, the new NETworks touring production – currently playing at PlayhouseSquare – is a far cry from the magic of the original Broadway and touring productions.
The classic story is, at the most basic level, about seeing the person within and not judging someone by their outward appearance. The young prince learned this lesson the hard way. When he refused refuge to a less-than-beautiful beggar woman, she revealed herself to be a beautiful enchantress. No amount of apologizing, however, could right the wrong and she punished the prince by transforming him into the Beast. Now he would have to learn what it was like to be judged by his appearance. The Beast stays hidden in his castle with only his servants for company, all of whom have been turned into various household objects.
Enter Belle, a beautiful young woman seen as an outcast by those in her village because she enjoys reading more than anything. This is a concept most people find odd, including Gaston, who doggedly pursues Belle simply because she's the "best." Belle finds her way to the castle in search of her father and ends up staying as the Beast's "prisoner" so that her father can return home instead. During her time at the castle she befriends Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts and the rest of the staff and, eventually, breaks through the tough exterior of the Beast.
It's rare a creative team gets to take a second look at a production to re-work it, but the original minds behind BEAUTY AND THE BEAST did just that. Unfortunately, this second look resulted in a watered down version of the show. The most notable changes are in the set and costumes.
Ann Hould-Ward won a 1994 Tony Award for BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and it was easy to see why. Mrs. Potts' teapot dress was covered in intricate beadwork, Belle's signature yellow dress was the quintessential princess dream, and the ensemble members became all sorts of flatware and household utensils during "Be Our Guest." This time around the costumes are simpler. Mrs. Potts, Cogsworth and Lumiere don't face a deeper transformation into a teapot, clock or candelabra in the second act and during the final scene, Belle's gorgeous yellow dress is draped with a thin layer of pink material for unknown reasons.
Audiences are used to see automated set pieces nowadays. That's not the case here. While the cast fluidly moves the houses and storefronts as part of the choreography in the opening village scenes, the staircases used in the castle move slightly less fluidly. The pieces are moved by ensemble members dressed as gargoyles. The effect has potential but ends up being more distracting than it was probably intended to be. Gone are the grandiose staircase, detailed library and west wing. Present instead are proscenium drapes and rolling risers.
One nice addition to this reworking is Basil Twist's puppet designs. They are used in place of costumed actors for the beggar woman, enchantress and wolves. The fanciful element they provide is delightful.
Hilary Maiberger and Darick Pead lead the cast as Belle and The Beast. Maiberger has a clear voice, fits the Disney princess role well and is the bright spot among the cast. One little girl was overheard saying "She's just like the Belle from the movie" on the way out of the theatre. Maiberger embodies Belle just the way you would imagine her to be – caring, determined and passionate.
Pead and many other cast members play their characters a bit over the top. They pander to the audience and seem as if they're trying to make every line a laugh line. Lumiere (Hassan Nazari-Robati) and Gaston (Jeff Brooks) can get away with some of this simply based on the way their characters are written but there were times the caricatures could have been dialed down quite a bit.
When all is said and done though, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is sure to delight the young theatre goers in the audience. Watching them watch some of their favorite movie characters come to life right in front of them is a magical moment indeed.
Performances run through November 18th and only a limited number of tickets remain. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is part of PlayhouseSquare's Smart Seats program. Tickets range from $10 to $80. Purchase tickets online at www.playhousesquare.org or by calling the box office at 216.241.6000. The Palace theatre is located at 1615 Euclid Avenue, in the heart of Cleveland's theatre district.

The Crap We Missed – Friday 2.15.13
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed which asks the important question, does it still count as kegels if you're using your butthole? Anyway, since yesterday was the holiday of love, it was easy to find pics like this one of Tara Reid out on a date with exactly the kind of herpesy guy you'd expect, as well as the spry young lover and expectant father, Steve Martin and finally, Demi Lovato performing, which is her life's passion, so that counts. I'm kidding, there was totally an ice cream truck across the street.
The answer for up there is no. Technically it's called 'gluntching' and it rejuvinates your anus in a way that heterosexual women go nuts over,

UPDATE: Drug waste dumped on Dyke Road
A suspected dump of drug waste required the attention of Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service on Thursday afternoon at Dyke Road, off Marsh McCormick Road.
Several 45-gallon drums of what fire officials said appeared to be chemicals for drug manufacturing had been dropped at the side of the road and in a small creek.
"I haven't done testing on it, but from my experience it looks like it's drug waste that has been dumped here," said Assistant Fire Chief Dave Rivett.
He said the waste likely came from a drug lab creating ecstasy or methamphetamines. Rivett said the drums, some of which were in a small creek, were not leaking chemicals.
"There's very little in the water," he said. "There is no risk to the public."
Frefighters remained on the scene until an environmental contractor could take away the chemical containers.
The situation was stable, said Rivett, but police blocked Marsh McCormick Road at Dyke Road until the chemicals could be removed.
Firefighers responded at 12:45 p.m. to a call from city public works personnel regarding the waste. Rivett said finding chemical waste from drug production is not uncommon.
"They tend to dump it in rural areas," he said. "They leave the clean-up to the taxpayers."


text: BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Buying a home seemed too risky to many Americans during the housing bust, but here's a look at five U.S. markets where prices have fallen so low you'd be crazy to rent. "These are places where prices have in some cases fallen more than 50%," says Svenja Gudell, senior economist at market tracker Zillow.com ( Z). "They're forecast in many cases to rise really, really strongly because there's no place to go but up." Zillow analyzed hundreds of housing markets recently to see how long buyers in each locale would need to "break even" -- pay the same in mortgage payments and other expenses (minus any capital gains) that they'd spend on rent. Gudell says renting makes more sense than buying if you don't stay in a home long enough to reach the break-even point, but buying becomes the better deal thereafter. Zillow found that break-even points range from one year in Memphis, Tenn.'s Shelby Forest-Frayser neighborhood to 20.3 years in Virginia Beach's upscale Sandbridge area. The average U.S. community has a 3.1-year break-even period. Here's a look at places offering the shortest break-even points among America's 30 largest cities. Zillow calculated break-evens by estimating each community's median home price, median rent, typical property taxes, expected future price appreciation and other factors. All figures are as of March 31 and refer to Zillow's estimates of prices and rents for all houses, condos and co-ops (including those not on the market) in each metro area.
