Fourth-grade students take part in live auction
On Thursday, June 5, fourth-grade students at Hillside Elementary participated in a live mini-auction, called the Nelson Buck Auction, to help teach the students about money and how to spend it wisely.
"I suggested the idea for an auction about six years ago when I started working with Bill (Knutson) in his classroom," said volunteer and auctioneer Phil Nelson. "Taking part in an auction like this shows kids how to spend money and also gives them the experience of only having so much money to spend, which means they have to spend it wisely. They even put my face on the money they give the kids to bid on the items. Even though they are just fourthgraders, the kids do a pretty good job of staying quiet and following the rules."
To help fill out the list of items up for auction, each fourth-grade student was asked to bring in a gently used item to be auctioned off, which could be anything from a stuffed animal to sport balls or even nail polish.
"All the kids get pretty excited about this event every year," Nelson said. "It's gotten to be so popular that the third-graders will come up to Mr. Knutson and ask him if they will be doing the auctions again next year when they are fourthgraders."
Each of the four fourthgrade classes at Hillside, including Mrs. Ballard, Mr. Hop, Mrs. Kleiner and Mr. Knutson's classes, took part in a separate Nelson Buck Auction this year, which is the first time Nelson has done four auctions in one day.
"I think I enjoy the auctions even more than the kids do," Nelson said. "I do auctions like this for other places too, like the Deerfield and other groups around town, but I really enjoy being with the kids and seeing them learn new things."
According to Nelson, one of the hottest items this year was a baseball card, which was sold for $500 Nelson Bucks.

I don't think I'll get as fancy-pants as amazon's engineers, but something simple and hooded just above the page will serve my needs. Now that you mention it, I might want to add a switch for high and low power lighting incase I need to see the keyboard. That would be pretty trivial.
If you're feeling fancy maybe you could use an analog pot (and include a way to turn it more easily). That way, you don't have to stick with just two colors!

Riverside County
J. Eugene Copeland, president of the Riverside County Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Riverside, which was founded in 1917, has also long been active in the orange industry, developing his home place of twenty acres from the wild state to its present perfect bearing condition. His grove of navel oranges is one of the finest in the county. His residence, a handsome and commodious two-story building, is located in one corner of the property, on the southwest corner of Blaine street and "Chicago avenue, and is surrounded by fine trees, palms, flowers and shrubbery, which were planted by his wife and himself, and attract the admiring attention of all who pass the place. Thirty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Copeland planted a slip of a seedling English walnut tree, and today this is probably the largest of its kind at Riverside, having a magnificent spread of seventy-five feet and yielding about three hundred pounds of nuts annually.
Mr. Copeland was born on a farm in Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, August 19, 1862, being the only child of Justin M. and Mary Ellen (French) Copeland, natives of New Hampshire and Maine, respectively, and both of English ancestry and Revolutionary stock. Justin M. Copeland, a representative of the eighth generation of the family in America, was the son of a Methodist minister. He was a scholar and spent his life in educational work, teaching school in many states and traveling all over the country in search of a climate in which he would not be subjected to the rigors of a severe winter. During this period he was superintendent of schools in Key West, Florida. Finally he came to California. Reaching this state in May, 1881, he realized that his long search was ended, and it was under the sunny skies of this Southland that he spent the remainder of his life. He secured a school on Central avenue in Arlington district during the fall of 1881, and taught it for one year, when he went to Orange county and continued the same work there until 1891. His eyesight then commencing to fail him, he went to Los Angeles and took the agency of the Standard Dictionary, continuing that connection until forced to relinquish it on account of his eyes. During his last years he led a retired life and passed away March 25, 1915, at the advanced age of eighty. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and was highly esteemed wherever known. His wife has also passed away.
In the acquirement of his early education J. Eugene Copeland attended the public schools of Kansas and of Orange county, California, receiving his more advanced intellectual training as a student at the University of Southern California, from which he was graduated in 1888. He was interested with his father in farming in Orange county until 1895, when he took up his residence on the home place, 601 Chicago avenue, comprising twenty acres on the edge of Riverside, which he had bought in 1882, and here he has since been engaged in the growing of oranges on an extensive scale. Mr. Copeland is also interested in thirty acres of sugar beet land at Oxnard, Ventura county, California. In 1917 he became a charter member and vice president of the newly organized Riverside County Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of which he was made president two ears later, having thus served to the present time. Asa Cox, the first president died April 24, 1932. The present secretary and manager of the insurance company is Edwin F. Wolever. Mr. Copeland is also a director of the Monte Vista Packing Company, the Riverside Ice Company and other corporations and has long enjoyed high standing among the prosperous business men of his adopted county.
On the 14th of September, 1889, in Los Angeles, Mr. Copeland was united in marriage to Carrie W. Willson, a native of Virginia and a daughter of the late J. A. Willson of Santa Ana. Mrs. Copeland's family is of Revolutionary stock and of Scotch-Irish descent. Mr. Copeland gives his allegiance to the republican party but has never sought political preferment. He is an elder in Calvary Presbyterian Church of Riverside, to which his wife also belongs. An earlier biographer wrote: "Mr. and Mrs. Copeland lead an ideal existence in the midst of their beautiful surroundings. While it has taken hard and unremitting work to develop their property to its present high state of cultivation, the results are so satisfactory that neither of them regrets the efforts expended on their home. They are held in high esteem by their many friends, and are fine representatives of the elder generation of substantial citizens of the Gem City."

My P238 did that as well when new. It was always just the first or 2nd round out of a full clip and just with JHP rounds. After handcycling about 200 rounds through it, it's feeding fine. I took it to the range and put 100 rounds through it and had no feeding issues. Had one failure to eject. I broke the gun down to clean and lube and after reassembling, I had the same feeding issue as when new. I handcycled about 50 rounds through it, and it's doing fine again. It seems to be getting better the more I cycle/shoot it.
I'd recommend putting at least 300 - 400 rounds through it and, if the issue persists, contact Sig.

Looking for some info on grips. I recently bought a great looking '61 Colt Navy -36 (repro not original) and I want to dress it up with some faux ivory grips. Dixie shows that they have grips for a '51 / '61 Navy that are of a "saloon girl" pattern which I really like. Have also seen some with Longhorn on them and eagle/shield as well. Does anyone know of dealers/mfgers that offer these kinds of grips at a reasonable price? Dixie has the saloon girl grips for around $57 but before I fork that out, I'd like to see what else is available. Anyone care to share their experiences on what they have / have seen? Thanks!

Mutual funds on local bourse forecast to gain in Q1
CNA Wednesday, January 2, 2013, 12:15 pm TWN
TAIPEI -- Mutual funds that invest in the local bourse are expected to post gains in the first quarter of this year on hopes that shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange will rise on the back of a recovery in the global economy, J.P. Morgan Asset Management said yesterday.
In addition, ample liquidity is expected to support local share prices as local employers tend to give year-end bonuses to their employees ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, which will fall this year between Feb. 9 and Feb. 17, the fund management firm said.
J.P. Morgan Asset Management, which even dubs the first-quarter gains in the local bourse the "red envelope effect," cited records as showing that first-quarter upside recorded by mutual funds targeting the local bourse averaged 8 percent in the past.
Among the gaining mutual funds, some funds investing in small- and mid-cap stocks in the local bourse even posted gains of 11 percent on average in the past due to high liquidity, the fund management firm said.
In 2012, the benchmark weighted index on the Taiwan Stock Exchange rose 627.42 points, or 8.87 percent to close at 7,699.50 points and finished in the middle of the pack among markets in East Asia.
After a four-day New Year holiday, the local bourse is scheduled to reopen today.
Yeh Hung-ju, a fund manger with JF Taiwan Best Selection Fund under J.P. Morgan Asset Management, said recent economic data in the United States and China show signs of improvement, adding that Taiwan's economy is expected to stage a rebound under the favorable global environment.
The government has raised its forecast for the country's economic growth for 2013 to 3.15 percent from an earlier estimate of 3.09 percent, compared with an estimate of 1.13 percent for 2012.
Yeh said the local economy showed signs of a recovery in the fourth quarter of last year and is expected to improve quarter by quarter this year.
He said the positive leads from the world's economic fundamentals are expected to expand the appetites of investors here to take risks, which will drive local share prices higher.
Yeh said that profitability of local businesses had bottomed out by the end of last year and that the bottom line is expected to return to a growth pattern starting from this year, adding that higher earnings per share of local enterprises are expected to lead share price growth.
The fund manger said that as the stock market is a leading indicator of the economy, local share prices are expected to rise in the first quarter of this year in reflection of such an upbeat anticipation about economic fundamentals before real economic numbers are released.
He said Chinese buyers of local electronics devices are expected to restock their inventories ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday to raise Taiwanese high-tech firm sales, which will further stir up investors' buying interest in shares of these exporters.

David Ortiz has acheived countless feats on the baseball diamond: World Series titles, All-Star appearances and Silver Slugger Awards, to name a few. So what medium has Big Papi chosen to try his hand at now?
The answer: culinary arts.
Ortiz is planning to release a newer, healthier version of his Big Papi's Kitchen Fresh Salsa. Now available in two flavors, "twice-the-spice" and mango, the salsa hits shelves at select Hannaford, Whole Foods and Roche Bros. supermarkets Tuesday and will be available at Shaw's supermarkets beginning July 1.
The salsa has been in stores before in 2010, but Ortiz's marketing agent, Alex Radetsky, said they are going for a fresher and healthier version this time around.
"David was trying to transition the salsa more into a healthy option," said Radetsky. "[He] lost weight in the off-season, and he's 36 and all about being healthy and being smart about his body."
Ortiz began Big Papi's Kitchen in 2009 and may begin dabbling in some other food-related projects, depending on the success of the salsa. Check out the salsa in the photo below.

Cochlear Implant:Hope
A world without sound is lonely.Cochlear implants are the most promising method of giving a hearing life to the hearing and speech challenged.
Can your child hear you?
2 Type of hearing loss
Post lingual hearing loss:When a child develops normal speech and then loses it due to some event.
Most commonly post meningitis ,cochlear implant can change lives.
But timing is everything
Prelingual hearing deficit: Hearing and speech challenged since birth.
Nowadays it's possible to have excellent results even with babies as young as 12 months.
3 most important thing to help children who are hearing challenged:
#1 Early identification is most important.
.If there's any event before or after birth which can cause a hearing problem , your doctor will ask you to consult an ear doctor
Parents have the biggest chance of detecting whether baby responds by startling to loud hand clapping.
The earlier you know the more you can help.
Why early detection is important?
Your brain is an amazing organ .It is rewireable depending on stimulus.Nature and quality of stimulus is important.
This brain plasticity or ability to learn is greatest upto age 2 and excellent till age 5 .It decreases with age and other associated problems.
Speech development is deeply interlinked with hearing abilities.What the brain can't hear the mouth can't speak.
That's why early restoration of hearing can help develop normal speech in the prelingually (speech never developed)hearing challenged.
The post lingual (speech developed ,then list)hearing challenged have excellent results as they already have language skills which are helped after surgery.
#2 Training before implant
Preimplant language training by sign language (aural -oral) helps in speech development after implant.
Also digital hearing aid is prescribed before implantation to help with adjustment to wearing an ear piece.
#3 Motivation of parents and child for continuing followup and training
Post implant continued training to help in rehabilitation of the child.The family has to be committed towards this goal.
So how can you detect earliest in babies who have never developed hearing and speech?
Tests needed:1)Testing the hearing:
BERA/Tympanometry /OAE/ASSR
2)HRCT Temporal bone
Just to check whether child is hearing BERA or Brainstem evoked response Audiometry test is useful
CT /MRI helps to check for congenital structural defects .

The government combined has 176 of Parliament's 300 seats, and needs an absolute majority of those present to pass the bill. Without the Democratic Left, Samaras' conservatives and the Socialists control 160 votes ⿿ not counting dissenters.The main opposition Radical Left Coalition has urged demonstrators to surround Parliament during Wednesday night's vote. "The new measures must not pass for they will turn the country into a financial and social desert," a party statement said. "They will lead us decades back, without medicine or state healthcare, without schools and universities, without a future, with endless armies of unemployed, suicides and desperate people." The deeply unpopular measures include new deep pension cuts and tax hikes, a two-year increase in the retirement age to 67, and laws that will make it easier to fire and transfer civil servants. The country is suffering a deep recession set to enter a sixth year, and record high unemployment of 25 percent. If Parliament rejects the package, Greece will lose access to the rescue loans from the European Union and International Monetary Fund that have kept it afloat since May 2010. The country would then run out of money ⿿ as soon as by Nov. 16, according to Samaras ⿿ default on its debts and, most likely, abandon the 17-member eurozone. That would create hyperinflation as the new currency plummets in value, intensifying Greeks' misery. A Greek exit from the euro would also have severe international repercussions, fueling fears that other troubled eurozone members could likewise leave the currency bloc. Sky-high interest rates have kept Greece out of international bond markets since 2010. However, the country retains a market presence through regular short-term debt issues ⿿ mostly bought up by domestic lenders that need the paper as collateral for vital European financing. On Tuesday, Greece raised ⿬1.3 billion ($1.6 billion) in a 26-week treasury bill auction that saw its borrowing costs ease slightly to 4.41 percent, from 4.46 percent last month. Demand was 1.7 times the amount on offer. ____ Costas Kantouris in Thessaloniki contributed to this report.

The commuter color scheme of Tokyo's Kasumigaseki district underwent a dramatic transformation Wednesday as thousands of bureaucrats took off their dark gray jackets as recommended by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi ahead of the hot, humid summer.
The officials traded their jackets and neckties for white or other lightly colored dress shirts, a style that has been coined "Cool Biz" in the government's campaign to fight global warming.
The new dress code, which is not mandatory, is being pushed so thermostats in government offices can be set at 28 degrees, even in summer. This will reduce electricity use and help reduce carbon dioxide emissions to meet Japan's obligations for the Kyoto Protocol on global warming.
"In terms of saving electricity, (the move) will have a considerable effect," said Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroyuki Hosoda, who appeared in a light-blue shirt for the regular televised news conference at the Prime Minister's Official Residence in the morning.
Hosoda said the casual look would also benefit women, many of whom complain about air conditioning being too cold because they are usually set to meet the needs of men wrapped in suits.
"I hope this custom of wearing casual clothes (in summer) will take root," Hosoda said.
But some officials and reporters covering the ministries had gripes, saying they felt too hot or were unable to do without their jacket pockets. "It's OK to cooperate (with the policy), but you can't put things in pockets," said one top government official who asked not to be named.
Koizumi stressed that the code is not mandatory.
"Don't take it too seriously. I'm just saying you should relax with no tie," Koizumi told reporters Tuesday night. "I'd like everyone to think for themselves what they ought to wear, because (the rule) is not obligatory."
Lawmakers also agreed Tuesday to accept the new summer dress code. This will exempt them from wearing jackets and ties in the Diet except during plenary sessions.

He's everything she fears…and everything she wants...
Mercenary by name and by nature, Carson is a Lakota Sioux who stays to himself and never keeps women around long enough for anything emotional to develop. But working with his friend Cash Grier on a complex murder investigation provides Carson with another kind of fun - shocking Cash's sweet-but-traditional secretary, Carlie Blair, with tales of his latest conquests.
Then Carlie lands in deep trouble. She saw something she shouldn't have, and now the face of a criminal is stored permanently in her photographic memory…and Carlie is the key piece of evidence that could implicate a popular politician in the murder case.
Her only protection is Carson - the man she once despised. But when she learns that Carson is more than just a tough guy, Carlie realizes she's endangered herself further. Because now her only chance to live means losing her heart to the most dangerous kind of man...

"Innocent Carlie takes on Mercinary~VG Palmer book~"
PLOT: Carlie takes on Mercenary Carson.....BEST Palmer in along time.
Innocent Carlie has her share of BAD memories and secrets. She finds herself a victim and has a photographic memory of some BADDIES who were involved in a crime. Carson is a handsome Lakota Sioux who fends off his feelings for Carlie. His own "past'.. keeps him from having a future with Carlie. When Carlie is kidnapped Carson is a key in her recovery. Just about all our favorite Jacobville Characters are part of this story. But ADDED fun is newcomer.... Rourke the South African born...uncover HUNK is my favorite of this book.....and future HERO...of a future Palmer books I am so very sure....bring him on... This is one of the best Palmer books in a long time. The hero is not such a woman hater as the past ones. the ONLY thing I would like to see is more spunk the heroines we loved in EARLY Palmer books. They maked us smile and laugh....Carlie is sweet and likeable and we enjoy her but her photographic memory was not used as I hoped in this book is my only disappointment. the Plot is solid and moves along well I give this 4 stars for Plot, reader and better than average Palmer book.
"Love this story"
Diana Palmer is one of my very favorite writers.
I am reading & listening to all her books.
The most important comment I can make is that reading or listening to her books is time. Very well spent! Thank you
"Not my favorite DP book."
I purchased this book to hear more of Carson's story, a little disappointed however, won't stop me from going on to the next book by this wonderful author!
"Outstanding narration!"
Brilliant narration. Ms.Palmer took good care of researching and bringing to life specific facts about the Lakota Nation in this story. An excellent audiobook.
"A definite attention keeper!"
Excellent audio book! Love Diana Palmer and her western novels! I'm a city girl, but she makes me want to venture out west! Adventurous, dramatic, romantic and rugged! Awesome narration. I listened to her Wyoming Men series first. Think 'Invincible' might have been best had it been the first one I listened to. Have enjoyed all of her books so far. A little mild language but nothing major. I've become a new fan of Diana!
"Sequel to Wyoming Bold"
Granted, Carlie lives in Texas--but the story in this book is so clearly the sequel to Wyoming Bold that anyone looking for continuity would wonder why it's tagged as belonging to the Texas series, without any mention of the previous book. Luckily, Ms. Palmer foreshadows Carson & Carlie's story pretty heavily in Wyoming Bold, so I googled the characters, found this one, and listened to it immediately after.
As is dreadfully common in Ms. Palmer's books, there is a fair bit of preaching, though not as much as in some others. At least in this one the female protagonist is allowed to keep working after she marries.
One downside to listening to this right after it's prequel--while Mr. McLaren did a perfectly adequate job of narrating, he's no Phil Gigante.

Silver Wheaton (NYSE:SLW) announced its first quarter results on May 10. The company reported increased production and sales on a year-over-year basis, but as expected, sequential results were weaker due to lower sales and prices. The year-over-year growth was achieved mainly due to an additional silver stream from the 777 mine and new gold streams from the Sudbury and Salobo mines.
The company sold 6.9 million silver equivalent ounces in the first quarter down from 9.1 million ounces in Q4 2012 and up from 6.1 million ounces in Q1 2012. Despite higher sales volumes as compared to last year, net earnings went down from $147.2 million to $133.4 million due to lower realized silver prices.
Silver Wheaton also announced a change to its dividend policy to reduce volatility associated with its quarterly distribution. While it will still pay out 20% of its operating cash flows, it will now use the average of the trailing four quarters' operating cash flow with the first reference quarter being the fourth quarter of 2012. This measure should help dampen the volatility of dividend payouts as a result of variable timing of concentrate shipments and rapidly oscillating commodity prices. Earlier, dividends used to be linked to the previous quarter's operating cash flow. [1]

Silver Wheaton is targeting a steep production increase by 2017. This growth is expected to come primarily from mines which have yet to begin production but will contribute substantially once they do. Also, the figure could rise further if the company is able to seal more deals using its significant cash reserves and credit facilities provided by banks.
See our full analysis for Silver Wheaton
Performance In Q1
The company reported attributable silver equivalent production of 8 million ounces, an increase of 20% over 2012. The figure includes 6.3 million ounces of silver and 32,200 ounces of gold. Sales of silver equivalent ounces rose by 13% year-over-year to reach 6.9 million ounces. It also reported revenues of $205.8 million for the quarter, an increase of 3% over Q1 2012. Net earnings for the quarter stood at $133.4 million, a 9% decrease over the comparable 2012 levels of $147.2 million. The increase in revenues came as a result of higher production and sales since the average realized price per ounce of silver equivalent declined from $32.59 in Q1 2012 to $29.72 in Q1 2013. Net profit also fell due to higher costs and expenses. Cash costs rose from $4.08 to $4.39 on a per silver equivalent ounce basis due to increased gold sales associated with Hudbay's 777 mine. [2]
Future Plans
With the recent additions of Hudbay and Vale, Silver Wheaton now has just over 850 million silver ounces and almost 5 million gold ounces, which when combined is more than 1.1 billion ounces of silver equivalent reserves.
Silver Wheaton is targeting production of 33.5 million silver equivalent ounces in 2013 and 53 million ounces in 2017. This increase is expected to be driven largely by contributions from Hudbay's Constancia mine and Barrick Gold's Pascua Lama mine. Further contributions will come from Vale's newly added Salobo and Sudbury mines and Augusta's Rosemont mine. This figure could rise further since the company has significant credit facilities at hand, and is actively looking for more good deals to add to its portfolio.
Impact From The Pascua Lama Ruling
Silver Wheaton entered into a silver purchase agreement with Barrick in September 2009 to acquire 25% of the life-of-mine silver production from Pascua-Lama. Under the agreement, Barrick provided a completion guarantee that requires it to complete work at Pascua-Lama to at least 75% of design capacity by December 31, 2015. If there is a production shortfall at Pascua Lama in 2014 and 2015, Silver Wheaton is entitled to compensatory silver production from Barrick's Lagunas Norte, Pierina and Veladero mines until Barrick satisfies the completion guarantee. If Barrick does not satisfy the guarantee, Silver Wheaton has the option of terminating the agreement. In such a case, Silver Wheaton would be returned $625 million, the upfront cash consideration it has paid to Barrick. The amount payable to Silver Wheaton will be adjusted for silver delivered to it up to the date the contract is cancelled.
A court in Chile has ordered work suspension on the Chilean side of the Pascua Lama mine which straddles Argentina as well. Even if the project is not terminated, there may be a significant time delay before production commences. According to some analysts, the production is unlikely to commence until late 2015, and this will have a significant impact on Silver Wheaton's projected silver stream beyond 2015. At 9 million ounces per year, the impact could be substantial. [3]
Given the weak outlook for commodity prices, including precious metals, we think that Silver Wheaton's shareholders would oppose any attempts to make additional deals this year. The situation could change once the picture on Pascua Lama becomes clearer. If Barrick Gold, the owner of Pascua Lama, decides not to go ahead with the project or is not allowed to, Silver Wheaton will likely go scouting for deals to replace the loss of silver streams from here.
We have a price estimate for the company of $38 which will be revised shortly.

(CBS News) We just took things to the extreme with some wind tunnel acrobatics and got a nice rush out of it. But now we need to come down from the high and get focused - there's still work to be done! So to make the transition easier, we're still going to give you extreme, but in an almost meditative medium. Check out some time-lapse, rope swinging and feel the calm wash over you.
I suddenly feel at one with the world and ready to tackle any assignment thrown at me... as long as I don't need to leave this chair. I'm seriously just way too calm and peaceful right now. The visually striking Vimeo video entitled "Just Gliding" was posted by Dominik Bittner who shot the footage with a GoPro HD2 and a GoPro HD Hero camera at the Eibsee in Grainau, Germany.
I'm going to go ahead and mark that location down on my list of "places I really want to travel" right now, and give props to Dominik for giving us all this moment of reflection. To check out more work by Dominik Bittner, you can visit his Vimeo page by clicking here.

"Once upon a Time," began the 17th annual fashion show presented by the Western Pocono Lioness Club as a major fun and fundraiser for the club's program year.
With 33 presentations by over 15 models, food, entertainment, special recognitions, and about 150 club members and friends present from far and near for a good cause, the show was deemed "a great success" by WPLC President Ruth Smith.
"We see so many repeat guests and everyone is telling us what a great time they have," she adds. That was echoed by first-time visitors Sharon Jens and Marielle Mendez.
Among the models was Lioness Rita Sweeney, who was recognized for being one of the original club members when the club formed almost 35 years ago. She has also served as president twice during that time.
A special award was the Sisterhood Award, explained by Smith, presented to the Lioness that epitomizes one who is linked as a sister in "an association, society, or community of women linked by a common interest, religion or trade."
The honoree was "a very special woman, someone who gives her time and her talents to 'our' sisterhood and does it all with grace and a sense of humor. We could never do what we do without her," said Smith, calling forward Lioness Mary Ann Lalumia. The award was presented by last year's awardee, Lioness vice president Nancy L. Beck.
Outfits from day wear to glamourous, including a bridal gown, from Coldwater Creek, Dress Barn and Elegant Bridal, kept guests watching and applauding. Door prizes and entertainment by students of Melody Dance Studio, helped fill in the times between model presentations.
And in "Once Upon A Time," the Western Pocono Lioness had another successful fashion show that would translate into touching the lives of area residents as the club donates funds to various groups and problems to fulfill its motto, "We serve."

There are so many common film complaints that you only hear when someone dislikes a movie. "It was so unrealistic!" is one you hear from bad action movies. "It was so predictable and formulaic!" comes after a weak romantic comedy. Another common charge is "Oh it was such a rip-off. It was such an imitation."
Yet all of these things are only problems if the movie is bad. If I'm thrilled by an action movie then I don't care if the laws of physics and probabilities are shredded. What does it matter if a comedy has some familiar set-up as long as I'm laughing? And on this last point, yes, "Igor," clearly steals a bunch from "The Nightmare Before Christmas." So what? I still had a great time.
Whereas Burton's classic was set in the macabre world of Halloweentown, "Igor" takes place in the cloud-covered kingdom of Malaria. Ever since the region was plunged into darkness by the bizarre weather it's managed to survive by blackmailing the world. Every year the dozen or so evil scientists compete to see who can come up with the best evil invention. Their creations battle it out in a televised event and the world then has to pay Malaria $100 billion or perish at the hands of the winner of the mad scientist fair. Thus in Malaria evil is a virtue, something to which one aspires.
Malaria has something of a caste system. Those born with hunches on their backs are required to become the servants to the evil scientists. One Igor (John Cusack) dreams of more - not unlike Jack Skellington who was so tired of his lot in life in "Nightmare." In his spare time as the slave for the incompetent Dr. Glickenstein (John Cleese,) he makes his own inventions. He's already created a talking brain in a jar (Sean Hayes) and a suicidal yet immortal rabbit named Scamper (Steve Buscemi.)
There are political forces afoot, though, in the form of not one but two villains. The reigning champion of Malaria is Dr. Schadenfreude (Eddie Izzard) who each year manages to best his rivals. The king of Malaria (Jay Leno) - who reminds me of the mayor in "Nightmare" - also has an agenda: to see the popular Schadenfreude fail this year.
When Glickenstein accidentally kills himself it's finally Igor's opportunity to realize his dream: triumph at the Evil Scientists' Fair. He instantly begins creating an invincible, Frankenstein-like monster he'll come to call Eva (Molly Shannon.) Is it coincidence that she happens to resemble Sally from "Nightmare"? Of course things don't go quite as planned with Eva.
"Igor" shares something with several of the recent family films I've reviewed, namely "WALL-E" and "Kung-Fu Panda": the factor propelling me into the theatre was the fact that my fiancée found the protagonist "cute." (I'm hoping to try and counteract this motivation in the case of the upcoming "Beverly Hills Chihuahua.") Igor is a sweet character with big eyes and a bigger heart who aspires to be evil in an evil culture but just can't quite make it.
It's an entertaining riff on the underdog theme that succeeds primarily on the strength of the kookiness of its premise. Aside from Igor, Eva, and a silly supporting role of an invisible man voiced by Arsenio Hall, the characters are fairly disposable. Hayes and Buscemi as Igor's homemade friends tend to fall into the animated sidekick trap of being more annoying than funny. The villains also fail to be memorable and I'm not sure how effective it is to split the bad guy ticket into having two enemies. It might have been better to just ditch the whole Schadenfreude subplot.
The animation isn't at the same level as "Wall-E" and "Kung-Fu Panda" but it's certainly much better than "Star Wars: Clone Wars." That's not necessarily something for criticism, though. According to Boxofficemojo.com the film had a $30 million budget compared to the $180 million of "WALL-E" and the $130 million of "Kung-Fu Panda." You really get what you pay for with animation. "Igor" intentionally goes for a bizarre, exaggerated animated style so its less-breathtaking visual quality isn't really a hindrance.
While "Igor" isn't on the A-list of this year's computer animated family films it's still a delight and an acceptable younger brother to "The Nightmare Before Christmas." It probably won't be very successful at the box office but give it a decade or so and it too might develop its own following.

The Earth is flat and 'they' don't want you to know
In the year 1543, the Pope teamed up with Copernicus, the Church of England, and possibly Aristotle (who, inconveniently, had died in 322 B.C.) to convince unsuspecting Europeans that, despite the Earth's obvious flatness, it's actually a sphere, and that the sun is the center of the universe. In the years since, the usual bad guys—Catholics, Jews, and bankers—have jealously guarded the secret of the flat Earth. And with the birth of the space age, NASA (basically a joint project between the Freemasons and the Nazis) got involved. That, at least, is the story according to the Flat Earth Truthers, a small but vocal group who believe that the world is flat, and that this knowledge is the key to understanding who really runs the world.

First documented fisher kits in the Olympics
May 28, 2009
Biologists today confirmed the first sightings of newborn fishers in Washington State since restoration of the state-endangered species began two years ago.
State and federal biologists confirmed today that remote camera images taken in Olympic National Park show newborn fisher kits. These images of a female fisher carrying four kits down a large snag offer the first evidence that fishers reintroduced into the park over the last two years have begun reproducing.
View more photos and video in the WADFW gallery
The adult female in the photograph is one of the first fishers released near Antelope Creek in the Elwha Valley in late January 2008. Conservation Northwest is working with state and federal agencies to restore the once-native animal to its historical habitat. About one hundred fishers translocated from home forests in southern British Columbia will be released into the park over three years.
Pacific fishers, related to the smaller pine martens and larger wolverines, are the second largest terrestrial North American member of the weasel family. Throughout northern North America in the 1800s and 1900s, fishers, with fur as luxurious as mink, were heavily overtrapped. Fishers need big, old snags for dens, found in older forests, and extensive logging of the Northwest's old-growth forest spelled loss of the fishers' favored habitat. By the 1930s, this small forest mammal, about the size of a house cat, had vanished from Washington's forests. Like all predators, fisher play an important role in ecosystem health. The only forest carnivore known to hunt porcupine with regular success, fisher may decrease forest overgrazing by porcupines.
Conservation Northwest is thrilled that this effort to revive diversity in the Olympics ecosystem is a success. We look forward to more reintroductions of fishers to these forests later in 2009.

To date, miraDry is FDA-approved for treating excessive sweating in the armpit area only. The miraDry handpiece is specifically designed to fit against and apply slight suction to the shape of an armpit. Even if you were to attempt it on the forehead, you may not be able to get enough suction to ensure an adequate treatment. There are also important structures such as nerves, blood vessels and bone that are closer to the surface of the skin on the forehead than in the armpit and could possibly get damaged by performing miraDry there. Other treatment options available for excessive sweating on the forehead are topical medications, oral medications and neuromodulator injections such as Botox, Dysport and Xeomin.

Excessive Sweating of the Forehead
Dear jazzieb728,
miraDry is a very effective and lasting treatment for excessive sweating of the underarm. It is not currently suitable for treating sweating of other areas of the body.
For excessive sweating of the forehead, Botox is an effective treatment.
Warmest wishes,

Combination miraDry and Botox for the Underarms and Forehead ..
Botox can be injected into both forehead and underarms, but it would be very expensive for your insurance comany to authorize for both. miraDry is good for the underarms and is not covered by medical insurance. miraDry is for those that don't want to return every 3-4 months for repeat injections and who are looking for a more permanent solution.

Miradry can not be used on the face
Although the miradry procedure is safe and effective in the armpits, it cannot be used on face, hands and feet. Botulinum toxin injections (botox, disport, xeomin), however, remain a good choice to treat the problem on the face, scalp, hands and feet
Treatment of Excessive Sweating with MiraDry
MiraDry is an exciting new microwave based treatment for excess sweating under the arms. Efficacy can be greater than 90%. Unfortunately, it is not able to be used on other areas of the body. However, botulinum toxins (Botox, Dysport) are quite effective for treating sweat in those areas, and many patients are delighted with the results.

Graphics: 5.5
Gameplay: 5.5
Sound: 6
Control: 4.5
Replay Value: 5.5
Rating: 5.5
Publisher: Bandai
Developer: Capcom
Number Of Players: 1-4
The game's story is set seven years after the One Year War. The Earth Federation, which won the war, has become corrupt, and its Titans police force has become a dictatorship. Now, the Anti-Earth Union Group and the formerly villainous Axis coalition find themselves on the same side in this new conflict. At the center of it all is a new hero, Kamille Bidan, who is the pilot of the mysterious transforming Gundam known as Zeta Gundam.
Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam's biggest strength is its large number of suits and missions. With 55 mobile suits, over 200 missions, and a plethora of unlockable content, it takes a very long time to say you've beaten the game. In reality, many of the missions are the same, and you're literally playing a mission over several times, but from the perspective of another character. Most of the gameplay is found in the Universal Century mode. Here you can play as the A.E.U.G, Titans, Federation, or Zeon, and you can re-live events from the series. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of variety to the missions, and the stories aren't fleshed out enough for anyone new to the series to understand. If a quick fight is all you're looking for, the vs. or arcade modes will fit the bill. Up to four people can play the game at once, but the framerate just doesn't hold up enough to make it playable.
Generally when you think giant robot games, or games with giant robot suits, you think in-depth gameplay and a steep learning curve. That is not the case with Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam. The controls and combat are very simple, and are reminiscent of War of the Monsters or any other simple fighting game. You can select from a couple of different weapons, but in combat they are almost useless. It's possible to hit a non-moving target, but once they start moving around, trying to hit them is an exercise in futility. This leaves the plasma sword and running up to the enemy and smashing a button as the main way in which to attack. Needless to say this gets old very quickly.
The game is severely hampered by a terrible camera that can't be adjusted. The right analog stick performs no function, so it's odd that the developers chose to forgo giving the player at least some control of the camera. Locking on to enemies is the only way to get the camera to move, but even that doesn't help much with enemies that are off screen, especially in the levels that take place in space. It's frustrating, and there's no rhyme or reason for the camera being this problematic.
The character models that Bandai released to promote Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam looked nice, but they are nowhere to be found in the actual game. The models are poorly textured, and their lack of detail is obvious when you examine them in the gallery area. The levels are bland, sparsely populated, and again, poorly textured. Some buildings can be destroyed, but they don't show damage – they just sink into the ground in a small cloud of dust. There aren't many flashy explosions, no thick smoke, and no giant displays of sparks lighting the screen when these huge behemoths clash; it's rather underwhelming.
Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam's music is faithful to the series, but it's an acquired taste. If you love what you have hear in the anime, then you'll be happy; but if you're a newcomer, it might take awhile to get used to. There is a small amount of voice acting, but it doesn't add a whole lot to the story. It's similar to the banter you hear before and during battle in the Starfox games, which means it's pretty worthless.
Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam is not a horrible game, but it's designed for an incredibly niche audience, and its gameplay and graphics are so out of date that there's no compelling reason for anyone else to give it a shot. If the story mode was deeper and gave some background as to just what is going on, then perhaps it would be worth a look; but that didn't happen. If you're a fan of the series, Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam gives you just what you want. Everyone else should stay away.

Funky soul from this obscure Philly combo! Force Of Nature have a sound that's a lot like Earth Wind & Fire – quite progressive, with lots of jazzy flourishes, and a spiritual message that's pushed with a crossover soul sound. The album seems to have been cut as a one-off Philly International side project – and it does have involvement from Dexter Wansel and Bunny Sigler, but the overall sound is quite different than the usual Philly groove. Tracks include the great mellow cut "Clouds", plus "Signs Of Our Time", "Dreams", "Simba", and "A Spear & A Feather". (Cover has light wear.) © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Kuwait's Americana is in demand. Several international investors, as well as Saudi's Savola, are apparently interested in acquiring a stake in the company that owns the franchise for fast-food chains like TGI Friday's and KFC in the MENA region. An acquisition however won't come cheap for Savola, say analysts. Read More »

Kuwait officials decided this week that the presence of an Israel energy delegation in Abu Dhabi for a renewable energy conference deserves a boycott of the entire annual gathering.
While both Kuwait and Israel are members of the International Renewable Energy Agency , or, IRENA, an organization that promotes the use of sustainable renewable energy worldwide, the Gulf state said it was not aware that Israeli Energy Minister Silvan Shalom was expected to make an appearance in Abu Dhabi.
"The decision not to participate in the IRENA meeting is in line with Kuwait's commitment to boycott all forms of interaction with the Zionist regime," a spokesperson for Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity and Water said in a statement. Read More »
Kuwait's new oil minister Ali Saleh al-Omair, appointed last week in another government reshuffle, faces a number of obstacles if he wants to push ahead with the country's ambitious plan of reaching 4 million barrels a day of oil production by 2020.
Mr. al-Omair, who has been a lawmaker since 2006 and is a member of the Islamic Salafi Alliance, is known for his pro-government views but unlike his veteran predecessor Mustapha al-Shamali, he doesn't enjoy the support of the chief executive and board of state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corp., or KPC.
"Shamali is a strong man who knew KPC well from his days as a board member and he has faced parliamentary pressure before as a finance minister so he could have pushed through many delayed projects," an industry source said. "Kuwait wanted to balance the cabinet by appointing a lawmaker who may be able to talk his way through the parliament but it is very likely that not much will change and the political bickering between the government and the parliament will continue despite his unusual choice."

Kuwait's Zain Group is again looking to expand through acquisitions after a quiet period of soul-searching.
This time, North Africa is the key market, even after Zain sold the majority of its mostly sub-Saharan Africa operations in 2010 to Bharti Airtel for some $9 billion. Back then, it was retrenching from expansion in the wake of the global financial crisis.
"North Africa is Arabic speaking and they understand the language and the brand fits really well," Scott Gegenheimer, Zain's chief executive, recently told reporters. "Looking for areas to expand, there's a lot more opportunity in North Africa than somewhere else." Read More »
International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde added her voice on Sunday to a growing chorus of people calling for Kuwait to contain government spending and ease out of its welfare state.
While Kuwait had managed well through the global financial crisis and was on sound economic footing, Ms. Lagarde said after a visit to the oil-rich country that it needed to contain spending and curtail subsidies. The comments follow an acknowledgment in October by Kuwaiti prime minister Sheikh Jaber al Mubarak al Sabah that the welfare state to which Kuwaiti citizens had grown accustomed was "unsustainable."
Kuwaiti society had to "transform from a consumer of the nation's resources to a producer," he said. Read More »

This is a very common question freshers ask me – Should I go for a .NET training or a training on J2ME/iPhone/Android.
Good question.
It is indeed a good question – let me explain why. Most Freshers simply assume that since .NET is pretty well established, they should learn that and never give mobile programming a consideration. Those who ask such questions are more broad minded and have longer term goals.
It is no secret that in the next five years, mobile technologies ( iPhone / Android / Blackberry etc ) will rule the future.
I will not answer this question. Instead I will pose another one
Learning a technology that belongs to a company is like investing in the shares of the company for long term.
.NET belongs to Microsoft – Share prices of Microsoft is about $25 . ( Click here )
iPhone belongs to Apple- Share prices of Apple is about $288 . ( Click here )
Android belongs to Google – Share prices of Google is about $516. ( Click here )
Personally, I have begun to think of Microsoft as the Titanic.

Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill head back to school – college this time – for "22 Jump Street." But, filming the movie was like recess with the amount of ad-libbing Channing got to do.
"I mean it was a lot," Channing told Access Hollywood at his film's New York City premiere on Wednesday night. "But, truth be told, the directors and Jonah and Rodney [Rothman, who is part of the film's screenplay team], they're all great writers and they wrote a lot for the movie and then, all of a sudden, you get on set and do what's like, written and then you just have free-for-all time.
"It's like recess in a way and you just go crazy," Channing said. "Some things land and some things don't and then it's really for [Directors] Chris [Miller] and Phil [Lord] to like carve out later."

"22 Jump Street" is, of course, the sequel to 2012's box office hit, "21 Jump Street." But would the guys be up for another installment?
"I don't know," Channing told Access. "The easy answer is this — it felt very natural to do the second one.
WATCH: '22 Jump Street' – First Look
"Someone's gotta come up with a great idea for the third one," he continued. "After high school you go to college and I don't know what's after college, so, you know, we'll see."
"22 Jump Street" opens June 13 in theaters.

Dell Adds More 45nm Penryn Offering
Dell on Friday quietly updated its Latitude range to add Intel's 45 nanometer Penryn Core 2 Duos as an option. The 14-inch D630 and 15.4-inch D830 can both be custom-fitted with either a 2.5GHz or 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo on top of existing 65 nanometer chips. Both new optional Penryn CPUs offer 6MB of Level 2 cache, 800MHz FSB and lower power consumption which leads to improved battery life. The two pro systems otherwise appear to remain unchanged outside of prices. Either Latitude starts just below $1,400 with a 2GHz, previous-generation Core 2 Duo, 1GB of memory, an 80GB hard drive, and built-in Intel graphics. Adding the Penryn processors contributes $130 to the price for the 2.5GHz processor and $390 for the 2.6GHz edition.Source: Electronista
5 Comments on Dell Adds More 45nm Penryn Offering
good to see 45nm's are becoming more mainstream
I want things to hurry up so we can finally get some somewhat powerful laptops :P
magibeg said:+1. The day is coming, but man it seems like it's taking forever!:wtf:
I want things to hurry up so we can finally get some somewhat powerful laptops :P
I wouldn't be buying anything from Dell, they used to be a respectable company but they have really gone downhill in past few years. Customer suppport is absolutely horrendous, a friend of mine had one of their laptops and had nothing but problems with them and couldn't get any help from their tech people. And this is only one example, i've heard/read many stories like this one. Seriously, if someone here is looking for a laptop/desktop my advice is to look elsewhere, there are other OEMs/custom builders that will do a far better job.
magibeg said:That would be like supercharging a Model T. Laptops are for PORTABILITY, not power. That is what, and shall always be, a desktop chore. Laptops are great when they are used for there used. But until they can fight the heat barriers, no laptop should ever be built for "Heavy" tasking.
I want things to hurry up so we can finally get some somewhat powerful laptops :P

This was a sample from SimplyJenW – thank you, Jen!
I had Harney and Sons English breakfast yesterday, and it is a 100% Keemun tea. I love it! It is so fortifying. I do take it with milk and sugar. I was curious to see how this one would compare.
The dry leaves smell almost identical to Harney's. The steeped tea…also very comparable. The sip- I agree with Jen. This has a bit of a bite, a little more astringency than I like, but if you love breakfast blend teas that include Indian tea I think you would like this. We added milk and sugar. Youngest thought it didn't differ significantly from the Harney tea, but she didn't try it without milk and sugar. The milk smooths the bite!
Thank you, Jen! We enjoyed having something new to try today!

Steve Hepburn identifies the top five stories in New Zealand sport in 2012.
Taylor not wanted
If ever there was an issue which gained legs, it was the sacking of Ross Taylor from the captaincy of the Black Caps.
Taylor's record was pretty woeful and coach Mike Hesson decided he wanted Brendon McCullum in charge. But how it was done, and whether it was justified, turned into a drama which refused to run out of steam.
Martin Crowe ''burned'' his blazer (metaphorically) in protest, board chairman Chris Moller admitted things could have been done better and Taylor took pot-shots at Hesson. Whether it was the right decision will be played out in the next few months.
Val gets gold
Going into the London Olympics, defending champion Valarie Adams had just one opponent - Nadzeya Ostapchuk.
On the day, the big Belarussian was too good, winning with ease. There was drama beforehand after a stuff-up over Adams' entry form but that was a red herring. Adams tried her best but had to settle for silver.
About 10 days after the contest, the news came late on a Monday night that Ostapchuk had failed a drugs test and Adams would have the gold.
The usual saga was played out - Ostapchuk blaming everyone but the kitchen sink. In the end she handed over the gold medal and it was given to Adams in Auckland in September.
Whatever your take on the man, Sonny Bill Williams certainly gets his share of the limelight.
Whether it concerned boxing, rugby, his love life or going to league, the big man was never far from the headlines in 2012.
He had an outstanding season for the Chiefs and was a major reason they won a breakthrough title.
Played well for the All Blacks against Ireland and then signed off with a win against Australia at Eden Park. Then headed to Japan, where a television crew followed him around for a week.
Picked up a shoulder injury which scuttled a planned boxing match but will be back in Auckland with the Roosters to face the Warriors in March.
Magic show some magic
The Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic lost its first four games of the season and appeared doomed to the bottom reaches of the table.
But all of a sudden, the side clicked and went all the way to the final. There, it proceeded to win the ANZ championship, a first for a New Zealand side.
Laura Langman and Irene van Dyk led the team to victory in what was a huge upset after Australians had ruled the roost in this competition.
The task now is on the shoulders of the Magic to repeat the win, with the Australian sides eager to return the trophy to the other side of the Tasman.
Woeful Warriors
It looked like a perfect year was going to materialise for the Warriors.
New, well-liked Kiwi coach, some talent coming into its own, James Maloney's last year with the club, and the side was fresh off making a final.
But it all fell apart, starting with a loss in the first match of the year against Manly at what is, for many league fans now, a hated Eden Park.
New coach Brian McClennan was eventually booted, young players were exposed, a lack of mental toughness shone out and Maloney tried hard but was ineffective.


text: 2006 Champion Bumper Review Cheltenham Festival Staff in Wednesday 15 Feb 2012 0 share Share Tweet Email Share RedditCHELTENHAM, ENGLAND - MARCH 16: Runners pass the grandstand in The Spinal Research Supreme Novices' Hurdle Race at Cheltenham racecourse on March 16, 2010 in Cheltenham, England (Photo by Alan Crowhurst/ Getty Images) Once again, the Champion Bumper was dominated by the Irish, although perhaps not by one of the horses most punters thought would take the honours.HAIRY MOLLY, a 33-1 shot whose trainer Joe Crowley is the father-in-law of Aidan O'Brien, had shown plenty of stamina in winning two of his four previous races and was clearly suited by the stiff uphill finish. He took the lead going well coming down the hill and stayed on strongly to repel the late challenges of Pressgang (second) and Kicks For Free (third). He is a three-mile chaser in the making.Hairy Molly's victory meant Paul Carberry completed a first and last race double on day two of the Festival.Pressgang gave trainer Paul Webber another close second in the race after De Soto last year. He looked to be going better than the winner turning for home, but his greenness counted against him as he hung right up the straight losing balance and momentum at a crucial point. Connections were left to rue the fact that they couldn't get another race into the horse before the Festival.Perce Rock, in fourth, was another to run green. He would also have preferred softer ground, but remains a serious prospect for the future.Sandwiched in between was Kicks For Free in third. He'd been hugely impressive in winning his previous two starts, but was beaten on merit here.Dancing Hero, Lord Over and Female all looked short of pace, and can improve when stepped up in trip over hurdles, whilst Burnt Oak was one of several runners in behind to take the eye. There should be plenty of races to be won with him in the future.There was no apparent excuse for the flop of the well backed favourite, Equus Maximus.Triple Epsom Derby winning jockey Johnny Murtagh was also out of luck on his first ride at the Festival. Murtagh, the former Irish champion jockey on the Flat in his native Ireland, finished unplaced on the Willie Mullins trained Ballytrim.
