My surgery is April, 19th while in the doctors consultation he tried to tell me about the regular lipo and said I would not be completely happy with my results but that it would change the way my stomach looks by a lot. Its not that he was trying to talk me out of the procedure he just wanted to make me happy which in turn made me nervous! NOW, being the OCD freak that I am I looked all over the internet about smartlipo and the results and how everyone liked it. I am 5'8 and weigh 185 pounds I wear a size 10 pants. I am not concerned with losing the weight but more the loss of inches. I can not find someone's review that says whether or not they lost inches. I am only having my stomach done, upper and lower. I do not want to spend all this money on something that is not even going to help. I am in the Army, and I only get one week to recover before PT starts again. Someone please help me before I make a mistake!
Different than expected
My surgery is April, 19th while in the doctors...
Alright so after reading all These reviews about...
Alright so after reading all These reviews about how much it hurts and how unbearable it was I have to say I didn't see any truth in it. There were some slight spots like around my belly button and my rib cage area that I was like ehhhh stop but his nurse gave me another pain pill and it went away. I am about 24 hours out and I took some pain pills last night but this morning I'm ok and don't really need them just ate some Advil and I'm laying in bed. I will post some pictures and keep everyone updated.

Oh and also my surgery was pushed back until the 26th part were done the 19th and some yesterday. So far so good.

So I am almost 48 hours out from the surgery on my entire stomach, I took the garmet off to show and almost passed out. I got very dizzy and decided against it. Not much paid and I am able to move around almost like usually just feels like I've done a million sit ups. I can see some progress, but I'm not going to post anymore pictures until after my period because we all know its not my true size right now. I do have a weight difference of about 2 pounds so far and ill tape myself in one week to see how many inches.
Alright so today is day 4 less swelling, still...
Alright so today is day 4 less swelling, still very hard in all spots and skin is hot to warm. I'm trying to sleep a lot to pass the day, when your doctor says the recovery is a day he is lying its more like two weeks you'll need until you can properly function. It feels awkward when taking off my garnet like I have a bowl of jelly in my stomach and my skin is just hanging which it is lol so keeping it on as much as I can, until my stitches get to irritated and I give myself 10-25 minutes off. So far from what I've gathered they took 1860cc of fat witch translates into about 5 pounds, I also just had my stomach upper and lower done so I know the finish result will be fantastic, also the doc said he will do a touch up for 500$ to get any remaining fat left after I've healed. I am optimistic and I can't wait to start working out again just light walking and maybe the elliptical after the stitches are gone. :) happy girl still worth it and also I am no longer taking pain medication it's only needed for the first two days or so after that I took some extra strength Tylenol worked just fine.
Day 5, I am much less swollen, I keep hearing...
Day 5, I am much less swollen, I keep hearing about how everyone else's doctors keys the holes open, curious why he stitched me closed? I tapes myself and no change just yet still pretty swollen, every time I stand its like my skin is ripping on the inside. I haven't taken any pain pills in a few days now I feel fine it's just not a cake walk to get around. I see my doc for the one week on Friday, while taping myself I am the same size as I was before the surgery which is good seeing as I am so swollen I know it'll shrink down a lot. I feel most comfortable in my garmet, my stomach is still a bit numb, is looking better day by day, I know he took almost 5 pounds from just my tummy so I know the end result will look awesome. I also have my first lymphatic massage Friday yay!
Day 6 is the best lost two pounds swelling went...
Day 6 is the best lost two pounds swelling went down so much taking arnica for the bruising which I have maybe one on my side. Liking the new look.
So, today I am 10 days out, I am back to my pre op...
So, today I am 10 days out, I am back to my pre op size in inches in my waist area so the swelling has gone way down. I am starting to wonder when things will start happening, my patience was nev good by this Friday (two weeks) I will start hitting the gym again to help the process along more. I haven't lost any weight on the scale but I see a slight difference in my upper half of my stomach it's much smoother and less bulky even my husband says so. I am hoping to see some real improvement over the next couple of week I have also gotten a small hard lump on my right side I am rubbing it to make it go away.
Dr. James Murphy is simply amazing, he's kind, generous, and cares more about you then money. I would recommended anyone to him.

Nonprofits, schools, and health organizations have come together in an effort to make the health of Jurupa Valley residents a priority.
Over the past month, local organizations have come together to hold two health fairs to bring healthy-living education and information to city residents, and to encourage residents to start becoming more engaged in health both as an individuals and as a community.
On Nov. 2, over 1,500 people turned out for the 2nd annual Healthy Bodies and Healthy Minds Community Fair and 100 Mile Club Run at Troth Street Elementary. The event, which featured health information booths, health screenings, and other health-centered activities, drew nearly double the attendees it did last year.
The Troth Street event is also a 100 Mile Club Sanctioned Run, which means students who belong to the 100 Mile Club, a nonprofit that provides incentives and programming for children to run a 100 miles in a school year, are able to log miles on Troth's track.
Children from all over the Inland Empire came to run. One young boy ran 13 miles over the course of the four hour event! The day also included a rock wall climbing contest for both children and adults, a variety of physical activity games lead by Riverside County Department of Public Health Power Play, a performance by a Ballet Folklórico Ilución, Zumba and Tai-Chi exercise demonstrations, and booths from over 40 vendors.
The event is held through a partnership between the Riverside Community Health Foundation, Troth Street Elementary, the Jurupa Unified School District, the 100 Mile Clue and Teen Challenge of Southern California.
The previous weekend, on Oct. 27, around 700 people came out for "Family Day in the Park" at Veterans Memorial Park.
Attendees were encouraged to participate in physical activity through a series of interactive exercises centered around the baseball diamond. At each base, attendees had the opportunity to complete an exercise and in return they received a ticket for a prize drawing later in the day.
There was also information about health and wellness from local organizations like IEHP and Molina Healthcare. The Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio were also there in an effort to recruit members to start a troop in the area.
The event was sponsored by the Jurupa Area Recreation and Park District, Riverside County Department of Public Social Services/Rubidoux Family Resource Center, El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center and Riverside Community Health Foundation.

Built in 1926, the 17-story Cotton Exchange was king, positioned in the largest inland cotton market in the world — Dallas. Teletype machines buzzed with market news from Liverpool and New York.
Then synthetic fabrics and foreign competition edged into the U.S. cotton market, and the Cotton Exchange lost its allure.
The downtown building deteriorated, and plans to revive it failed. Concrete panels — part of a 1960s renovation — masked the building's original tan-brick and concrete exterior.
The panels were later removed, but the landmark was demolished in 1994, raising questions about Dallas' efforts to preserve its historic buildings.

Best Chiropractor in Lake City FL 32024
You know I was kind of an emotionally tapped in, emotionally connected, little kid. And I was being raised on a dairy farm in Nebraska. I learned that being an emotionally connected little kid was not so acceptable on a dairy farm in Nebraska. I remember making the decision that I was going to toughen up. I wasn't going to allow myself be so emotional. I covered up that piece of myself and, in the Best Chiropractor Lake City FL 32024 process, disconnected from a essential part of myself when I did that. Like I say to my practice members, disconnecting from parts of yourself is a recipe for great pain.
There's a subsequent incident that happened in which I had a nasty ATV accident. It kind of messed me up. I began to have all sorts of odd musculo-skeletal things in my body; pain and numbness and burning. Luckily my father took me to his chiropractic Lake City FL 32024 doctor.
This chiropractic doctor that my father took me to see was a conventional chiropractic doctor. He would adjust my vertebrae and such. He started working on me and I remember what could only be described as a light growing within me. Along with that, my body started to feel much better and work better and the lack of sensation and pain and burning began to go away. But then some other things started to go Best Chiropractor Lake City FL 32024 away too; symptoms I had thought were normal. I had had a lot of headaches and I would also get a nasty bronchial infection that would come back annually. Those things started to resolve themselves, too.
So there was this feeling of this light expanding within me, and at the same time my body was healing itself. The thought that that was possible was a really interesting notion. So I said to myself, "Wow, maybe I'll Lake City FL 32024 become a chiropractic specialist some day."
Fast forward and I did wind up attending chiropractic school. I was studying under some conventional chiropractic doctors there; some guys who were just like the chiropractic specialist who my father had taken me to. Even then I had this chronic lower back pain that would keep coming back. They would adjust me and then the pain would recede, then the lumbar pain would come back and I'd get adjusted Lake City FL 32024 again. This continued. Not much was changing. I thought that, if I was going to be a chiropractic doctor, I would be a bit of a fraud if I wasn't able to heal myself and I wanted to find the thing that might allow people to heal themselves.
There were some people in certain circles at chiropractic college who were talking about the notion that your body was connected to your life and that change in Lake City FL 32024 your body might produce change in your life and the other way around. In regards to my own back pain, there was some sort of pattern. I noticed the part of the cycle where the symptoms would surface. Then I would get treated and the symptoms would start to disappear. After that I would always go back to living my life the same way I was before. And then the pain would always reoccur at Lake City FL 32024 some point. It occurred to me that perhaps there was something occurring in my life between the occurrences of the pain that was causing the pain; a part of the cycle that I couldn't, as yet, perceive.
I began to consider some other techniques in the hopes that there was something or somebody who might help me with my dilemma. Some friends of mine recommended that I see this woman who practiced this Network Care, or Lake City FL 32024 Network Chiropractic, technique. Coming from a dairy farm in Nebraska, I was very dubious. But this chiropractor really connected with some aspect of me, almost certainly that emotionally connected young boy part that I had suppressed. So I began care with her.
After about seven sessions I remember feeling this light, again, expanding on the inside of me. It was obvious to me that something quite interesting was happening to me but, when it was occurring, Lake City FL 32024 I wasn't certain what it was. It was after my fifteenth session, as I was leaving the office I instantly noticed that the colors were very vivid. I began to experience this extraordinary sensation in my body. This sensation was prompting me to think about my parents and how great they were, and my girlfriend and how great she was, and this great opportunity that I had at chiropractic school. At the exact same time, Lake City FL 32024 I was also aware of how I'd been being a jerk and if I was having difficulties with my professors and my girlfriend and my mother and father and my life, it was owing to the way in whichI was being in the world. So I made several changes.
In hindsight I see now that that incredible feeling that was flowing through me was gratefulness. Apparently I had not felt gratefulness for such a long time Lake City FL 32024 that I had forgotten what it felt like. This veil had been removed from my eyes. Suddenly I could see how I was being in my life and how I was interacting with it in ways that I could not see previously. That was very exciting to me and really fun. I thought life could be an exploration; an adventure. Besides that, the chronic lumbar pain that I was suffering from noticeably changed.

At the end of March, a cosmetic surgeon performed an excision on an old indented scar I had on the bridge of my nose. It has now been 5 months & the new scar is still red & has stretched with visible suture lines in it. It is way worse then the original scar I intended on fixing as well as a lot longer then the original scar.
This doctor obviously didnt know what he was doing, he initially had ensured me that the scar would be thin & white. I have been suffering with the results & dont know what else I can do.
I'm scared as to whether I should risk gettin it sutured up again & if the results will be any better the secod time arouund.Its right in the middle of my face! Does anyone know of a good surgeon in the LA area that can fix this???

Maddon on replay plan: A good start
Rays manager Joe Maddon told the Times today he welcomes the change and likes the concept:
"I am looking forward to our game taking this significant step in a technological direction. I am impressed with the efforts of Tony (La Russa), Joe (Torre), Mr. Schuerholz, Mr. Selig and others in hammering this first step in place. Not an easy task. So, now it's time to understand how this all inter-connects, and get used to implemetation. I expect some glitches, which shall be confronted, and fixed. Patience and cooperation will move our game forward."
Rays ace David Price said he liked the sound of it as well:
"If it doesn't slow the game down, then absolutely it can help get the correct calls, then sure, why not?"

LAKEPORT -- The Lake County Planning Commission will meet 9 a.m. Thursday at the Lake County Courthouse.
At 9:05 a.m., commissioners will consider making environmental findings on a proposed parcel map to divide a 275-acre parcel into three parcels on East Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks.
A proposed rezone on East Highway 20 in Nice will be debated at 9:15 a.m.
At 9:30 a.m., the commission will decide whether to approve a mitigated negative declaration for a major use permit for a project on Bastian Court in unincorporated Lakeport, just outside the city limits.
Project applicant Brad Bastian wants to use an existing two-story, 6,000-square-foot residence for a special-events center holding as many as 18 events per year. He also hopes to utilize the sign regulations of the county's community commercial zoning district.
At 10:15 a.m., the commissioners will discuss a major use permit for a property on Roberts Road in Middletown, where the applicant proposes a retreat facility with lodging, therapy options, meditation services and a commercial kitchen.
Applicant Andrzej Skwira also asks for approval of a reduced setback to allow continued construction of a building located adjacent to Bradford Creek and rear yard setback, along with a deck addition that was reportedly constructed without permits within the past 10 years.

Alexis Murphy case: Hunters assist in search
Investigators in the Alexis Murphy case are asking hunters to help find evidence in the 17-year-old's disappearance. The Nelson County Sheriff's Office says hunters across the state should keep their eyes open for anything that looks like it might be related to the case, according to WSET.

Alexis Murphy disappeared from a Lovingston gas station in August.{ } Randy Allen Taylor has been charged in connection with her abduction. However, Murphy has not been located.

PEERING INTO HIS OWN FUTURE FROM HIS LAB BENCH IN THE NORTHEASTERN U.S., LARRY, A FINAL-YEAR GRADUATE STUDENT, IS PRETTY SURE HE KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH HIS Ph.D. BUT DO YOU?
A wise career choice requires consideration of both the positive and negative aspects of a particular career path, and last month, I took a healthy step back to assess my journey to date. Since then, I have revisited the information I collected over the past year in an effort to directly address the lingering doubts I uncovered. In so doing, I discovered that of all the data in my virtual career notebook, those derived from informational interviews provided me with not only the most detailed picture of what I was contemplating, but also the most compelling evidence that I was indeed heading in the right direction.
What follows is a distillation of those data--a fictional composite derived from several informational interviews. All names have, of course, been changed to protect the innocent....
The Scene: A popular watering hole at 5:30 p.m., rapidly filling with smiling, professional types wearing the standard Gap khaki uniform. Judging by the lack of defeated expressions and abundance of healthy complexions, I'm likely to be the only academic scientist in the joint. My contact enters and we exchange pleasantries and order beers. Ian is currently employed as a technical specialist at a large local law firm, has just completed his first year of law school and is, like the other late afternoon patrons, looking healthy and happy, albeit a bit fatigued. When the beers arrive, Ian offers to pay and I mount a feeble protest. He laughs, claiming he has to find some way to spend the big sack of cash he carries around and I, to my horror, catch myself glancing under the table. Ian laughs again and reminds me that not too long ago he was a poverty-stricken graduate student as well.
Ian: OK, so what do you need to know about patent law?
Larry: Well, I suppose the first step is to get a better handle on what you do every day.
Ian: The content of my work actually varies from day to day, and sometimes from hour to hour, depending on the project and what needs to be done. When I started out, most of my work was pretty basic: preparing nucleic acid sequence listings, sifting through papers and other documents submitted by the inventors, searching the literature for related topics. As I grew more comfortable with the law firm environment and the overall process, I moved on to more meaty projects, such as drafting the background and other parts of the patent body. Recently, I've even had the opportunity to act in an advisory capacity in a litigation case. As far as I'm concerned, the constant changes in task and subject matter are among the most attractive features of this job. I also have a lot of choice in terms of what projects I take on, which helps keep me interested and excited about what I'm doing.
Larry: Ugh, I feel like I've been working on the same three proteins for 5 years ... uh, wait ... I HAVE been working on them that long! So, I think it's safe to say I'm craving a little variety in my job. Tell me a little more about how your day flows. Are hours predictable, or do you find yourself pulling late nights furiously preparing documents like the lawyers in re-runs of "LA Law"?
Ian: Although litigation work can be occasionally unpredictable, patent preparation and prosecution tend to be pretty steady work. Most days are the standard 9 to 5, with the occasional longer evening when stuff needs to be done for a specific deadline. The flow of the day is a lot different than that in the lab, though. The system here is "billable hours," meaning that whenever you're on the clock, you need to be doing something for the client being billed. That means a lot less time surfing the Web while gels are running, or samples are spinning. You need to be efficient.
Larry: So you find the workload tolerable?
Ian: Sure. I'm required to bill 1800 hours per year, which is equivalent to 35 to 37 hours every week when holidays and vacations are factored in. That means I need to bill most of the hours I'm in the office, which hasn't been too difficult so far. Consider this from the grad student perspective: I've never worked a weekend and have only stayed late on a handful of occasions. Going to law school has put a damper on the overall quality of life, though.
Larry: This actually brings us to one of my biggest concerns: What are your impressions of law school with a full-time job?
Ian: Frankly, it stinks. I have class 4 nights a week, on top of my full-time schedule. And I still need to find time to study. That and the long commute make it difficult to spend as much time with my family as I would like. The subject matter is interesting and not overly difficult, but the lack of free time really drains my enthusiasm. I did make excellent grades, and the first year is supposed to be the worst, so I'm hoping I can throttle down the study habits a bit next semester.
Larry: Do I sense a note of regret in this story?
Ian: Absolutely not. I wasn't happy doing research, and I love the challenge of patent law. Plus, the financial rewards are substantial. I know you won't ask, so I'll tell you: 65 to 85K, plus law school tuition and a bonus. There's an online database that provides more detailed information, if you're interested. I may complain about law school stress, but the plain truth is that I would do it again in an instant.
Larry: Sounds great to me so far! So are there opportunities available? What are the long-term prospects?
Ian: Right now, we have more work than we can handle, but the slowing economy may change that. A lot of firms hire in waves when they get new clients or look to expand their intellectual property practice, so don't be dismayed if you can't find an opening right away. Long-term, I think the biotech and pharmaceutical industries will continue to grow, and intellectual property will be as critical to the success of individual companies as ever. If you can break in, I think the future is bright indeed.
Larry: Great. So what's the trick? What hints can you offer to a potential candidate?
Ian: As I mentioned, you need to be in the right place at the right time, but there are a few things you can do in the meantime to increase your odds. First and foremost, get to know people in firms. Nothing works better than having someone on the inside making a case for you. Take the patent bar and LSAT, if you can. Both show seriousness and commitment to the field that can often be lacking in scientists unsure of what they want to do away from the bench. And finish your Ph.D. That should be your first priority.
Larry: Thanks, Ian. I really appreciate all of your help. I know you need to catch your train home, so I'll let you go.
Ian: My pleasure, Larry. When you get close to finishing up, be sure to send me your CV. You never know when my boss will bring home another pile of work!
And with that, I made sure to pick up the remaining tab with my meager pile of cash and headed back to the lab with a little extra spring in my step.

As Somaliland Democracy Builds, How the World Can Help Us
By Abdirahman M. Dirye
Less than 12 years ago Somalilanders were chanting "Democracy, Democracy!" without deep understanding; some says it's the Sharia Law of the West, others think of as imperial culture which simply replaced the costly colonialism of maintaining armies in foreign countries in the early 17th- to late- 19th centuries in order to retain control over large territories of oil and minerals without bloodshed. A pro-western majority of the society adamantly insisted that the multi-party system introduction would be panacea for social ills in Somaliland from recognition to reconstruction of infrastructure. But so far the socioeconomic and security situations are deteriorating in a troublesome manner; democracy and peace dividends had never being materialized—besides, fanatics' accelerating participation in the on-going democratization process started to coincide with Al-Shabaab's utter military defeat in Mogadishu.
The legions of extremists—frightened by the deadly drone attacks—are chasing Somaliland's parties for de-terrorization to be their character witnesses after their efforts to turn Somaliland into little Afghanistan were rebuffed. Far worse, Islamists are the official sponsors of the new political parties which the incumbent president, Mr. Silanyo, recently unlocked to distract his government's inactions in the country from the public: shortage of water, and dilapidated roads in the capital. A party needs finance, but terrorists want legitimacy.
The fact that our society and national parties are based on tribal lines is quite alarming. This loophole has given terrorists an easy access to political parties. Furthermore, the democracy in Somaliland turned to political maneuvering and empty slogans totally irrelevant in real life—worse than Sharia law that sparked the most disastrous famine in Somalia's history from time memorial. Municipal elections, which are only weeks away, will produce 24 corrupt councilors stealing the country's meager resources in parallel unless a fundamental reform takes place.
The extremists bankrolled the political parties when militancy failed to take advantage of the seemingly ill-fated democracy and the abject poverty in the country. The fanatics linked with global Jihadist networks are campaigning for political parties throughout the day, an unprecedented phenomenon in Somaliland. The unregulated democracy is giving birth to criminal theocracy and may lead to devastation as wealthy radicals overwhelm the budding democracy in "Africa's most disputed region" to borrow David Shinn's words.
There are chains of cafés, restaurants, and Madrasas, or alien schools in Somaliland run by the Wahhabi school of thought that generate millions of dollar a month, where the staff are underfed and underpaid—and yet intoxicated too. However, what the huge income is spent on is yet unclear and no institution has authority to examine.
Neither Somaliland Intelligence nor the Parliament heads off this systematic infiltration into parties. Is the IRI, advancing Democracy worldwide, really about to keep power out of clerical thugs? Some widely known dangerous faces acting as milquetoasts finance parties only with friendly-attitudes toward the Jihad, which condones: Justify terrorism as the weapon of the poor against the strong. Their ill-gotten gains from leaderless Jihad are funded in adverts, and campaign commercials in return for decriminalization.
Multiparty politics developed into destructive force in Somaliland. We are heading towards sham democracy. Unless the National Election Commission is given an ultimatum to change the direction our democracy won't be on the right track. Radicals use Somaliland's democracy for their own advantage.

Ohio State Student Government Tackles Off-Campus Safety, Security
Months after a landmark deal to allow both Columbus police and Ohio State University's police officers to respond in the off-campus area, the student government tackles another major issue: off-campus quality of life.
A special task force came up with several suggestions, which are now being reviewed by President E. Gordon Gee. At the same time, students told 10TV they are ready for improvements.
"A lot of times, the street lights will go out around midnight, one o'clock in the morning. So, traveling by yourself, even on a weeknight is a little scary," said OSU sophomore Olivia O'Reilly.
Students point also point to run-down housing, smashed sidewalks, and pot holes as problems. Those are some of the issues the student government said they addressed, in their search for answers.
"We have these landlords that frankly are taking advantage of students. We have a huge quality and price problem," said OSU Student Government President, Taylor Stepp.
Stepp said he wants to improve the quality of off-campus living.
"As you get to the fringe parts of campus, you're going to see lower costs but you'll also see lower quality for the most part. And you will certainly see more crime," Stepp said.
On the east side of North High Street, 10TV found places for rent, alongside overturned dumpsters, graffiti, and security cameras.
"We hope to work with the city to provide things like more lighting, improve sidewalks, improve - planning the off campus area so students have a more safe conduit to travel around," Stepp said.
Students said they realize crime can happen anywhere, but they say the further they get away from campus, the less safe they feel.
"About a block down the street, earlier this year, I saw a mugging at gunpoint," said OSU Sophomore, Erik Leiden.
As startling as that may sound, Leiden said that doesn't deter him from living where he does.
Sophomore Olivia O'Reilly said she definitely sees room for improvement.
"I think I should feel safe anywhere around campus and I think I should definitely have the right to feel safe in my community," she said.
The student government president told 10TV he believes a review of landlords will likely be the first thing accomplished. He said improving infrastructure and creating a common area for students off-campus will take time.

Squaw Valley tops Outside Magazine's ski resort list
November 10, 2012
How regional ski resorts fared
1. Squaw Valley
5. Mammoth
13. Heavenly
22. Northstar
25. Sugar Bowl
27. Kirkwood
34. Sierra-at-Tahoe
One of the most prominent nationwide outdoors publications, Outside Magazine, rated Squaw Valley the continent's top ski resort.
Outside Magazine looked at resorts from California to Maine, British Columbia to Quebec, and generated a list of the top 40 with Squaw at the top of the list.
Squaw Valley is a mere 65-mile drive east from Grass Valley, nestled in the Tahoe National Forest's northern border of Lake Tahoe.
Squaw Valley hosted the Olympic Games in 1969, and with 300 bluebird days and 450 inches of snowfall per year, it is still "the reigning champion of American ski resorts," reads the article in the December edition of Outside Magazine.
Other attributes the magazine highlighted include a 17 percent powder-day percentage; 170 trails representing 3,600 acres of variable terrain that drop 2,850 feet; 30 lifts provide an hourly capacity of 49,000 people and include a 110-passenger tram, a 28-person funitel and the new Big Blue, a high-speed six-pack.
The resort also offers experts steeps, chutes and 16 bowls. Outside also noted that three terrain parks feature a kids' pipe, though there are other ways to keep little ones entertained: a tube park, an ice-skating rink, sleigh rides and mini-snowmobiling.

The resort is slated to open by Nov. 21, said Amelia Richmond, Squaw's public relations manager.
Season passes are starting at $429 and also give access to Alpine Meadows, which ranked 37th on the magazine's list. The deadline to purchase that season pass has been extended to Dec. 7, Richmond said.
Outside also factored in attributes around the slopes, including the main lodge's Olympic Plaza Bar, which has been completely renovated, and the pedestrian Village at Squaw Valley, which has fire pits that act as people magnets. There is also a plethora of gear shops, pubs and eateries.
Among the village's six hotels are the AAA 4-Diamond Resort at Squaw Creek, PlumpJack and popular Red Wolf Lodge — all three are ski-in/ski-out, Outside noted.
On the magazine's list, Squaw Valley beat out Colorado's Vail, British Colombia's Whistler Blackcomb, Utah's Canyons Resort and Mammoth Mountain resorts, in that order.
Other area resorts also made the list of top 40. Northstar resort clocked in at No. 22 on the list with Sugar Bowl, the closest resort to Nevada County with part of its slopes in Nevada County, ranking 25th.
On the south shore of Lake Tahoe, Kirkwood and Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort got the 27 and 34 spots on the list respectively.

THE Opening Ceremony of the Commonwealth Games will celebrate Glasgow's "gallus" personality in a spectacular performance by 2,000 local volunteers for an audience of 40,000 spectators and an estimated one billion television viewers across the globe.
High-security rehearsals at various locations in Glasgow have been under way for the past few weeks and last Sunday morning 500 cast members from all walks of life practised their segment of the ceremony in the warm July sunshine.
When they perform for real at Celtic Park at 9pm on July 23 - on a specially created stage floor covering the entire pitch - the cast will have had 16 rehearsals for the show, which promises to surprise, delight and be uniquely Glaswegian and Scottish.
Loading article content
Specialist mass movement choreographer Rocky Smith plotted the routines on her computer's specially adapted Adobe Illustrator programme. The innovative method means numbers on performers' rehearsal vests are represented by dots on the computer screen; the steps are indicated on laminated cards issued to cast members to guide them.
"Working this way helps move people very quickly and efficiently," said Smith, who has mass-choreographed 45 other sporting ceremonies. "As they are all volunteers, we need to use their time well."
In Glasgow she is working with Steve Boyd, the live events specialist with whom she collaborated at the 2012 London Olympic Games. The Glasgow 2014 opening and closing ceremonies are being created and produced by Jack Morton Worldwide to a budget of £21 million.
More than 6,000 people auditioned for a chance to participate. Though details are being kept secret, Smith said: "We marked everyone according to how best we could make them shine. We wanted to find a place for everybody.
"We were looking to see what makes Glasgow shine and Scotland so great, and found that people radiated that either through dancing skills or through a cracking personality."
Hopefuls were asked to mimic a statue from George Square. Some did Robert Burns, others Queen Victoria on her horse.
"Then we asked some of them to be the Krankies," she said. "The responses were really funny and everyone was laughing. Through that we discovered the Glasgow gallusness. Gallusness is the word of the ceremony. We'd never heard it before and we love it."
She added: "Glasgow cast members have given us what we wanted so quickly and so well that we've had to prepare more moves. We've been impressed by Glasgow's can-do attitude. They are giving it to us."
David Zolkwer, head of ceremonies and artistic director, said: "Our goal has always been to have the people take centre-stage; for them to speak (and sing and dance) for themselves. So, on the night our audience will witness thousands of real people doing extraordinary things - and in the process they will do themselves, the city and Scotland proud."

Yep, no question. Last pitch of Evil Eye (last two pitches per the topo). Past the intial steepness, you should have clipped a two bolt anchor (red sling still attached), then three more bolts on steeper, harder terrain before the angle eases off at a break and you finish just left of a left facing corner.
My photo's of the last pitch (we broked into two pitches) match the features on yours exactly.

Ashley Greene Named York Women's Volleyball Head Coach
"After an extensive interview process, Ashley truly stood out as the candidate that we believe can get the job done," said York Athletic Director Ronald St. John.
Greene comes to York after a stellar playing career at SUNY Old Westbury where she graduated in 2011 with a degree in Secondary Mathematics Education and made the Dean's List for three straight years. A three-year member on the women's volleyball team, Greene earned Skyline Conference Second-Team All-Star honors in both 2010 and 2011 after leading the Panthers in kills and ranking second in hitting percentage both seasons.
Over the past year, Greene has also served as the head coach of the Performance Volleyball Club in Long Island, as well as the Assistant Coach for the Bay Shore Middle School team.
"I'm really excited," said Greene. "I have a lot of new ideas and I think people will be surprised about what we will accomplish."
The Cardinals will open the 2012 season with a home doubleheader on September 5 against Yeshiva University and St. Joseph's College (LI) beginning at 6:00 p.m.

There were rumblings last night that a new indictment had been handed down in the Alaska corruption probe. The Anchorage paper is now reporting that a new case is on file in federal court, titled USA v. John Cowdery. Cowdery is a Republican state senator from Anchorage. But that's all the information they have so far. Nothing that links it yet to the Veco probe that has snared Sen. Ted Stevens.
Late Update: We just obtained the indictment, which alleges that Cowdery was part of a conspiracy to bribe another state senator. It appears to be all part of the sprawling Veco probe. We'll be posting the indictment shortly at TPMmuckraker.
Later Update: From the DOJ press release announcing the indictment:
The indictment alleges that Cowdery and his co-conspirators, including Bill J. Allen, the former chief executive officer of VECO Corporation, and Richard L. Smith, VECO's former vice president, corruptly offered and agreed to give financial benefits to another state legislator (State Senator A) to influence and reward State Senator A in exchange for State Senator A agreeing to perform official acts as a member of the Alaska State Legislature.
The indictment specifically alleges that VECO Corporation, which at the time was a multinational oil services corporation, had a significant financial interest in contracts with oil producers in Alaska and, consequently, supported certain oil and gas legislation pending in the Alaska state legislature in 2006. The indictment further alleges that, in exchange for $25,000 – characterized as political campaign contributions – Cowdery, Allen, Smith and others sought an agreement with State Senator A that would require State Senator A to vote in favor of the oil and gas legislation favored by VECO. Cowdery and the alleged co-conspirators agreed to this plan, according to the indictment, through a series of telephone calls and in-person meetings.
Latest Update: You can read the indictment here.

Childcare Clair is a fun, informative website for parents and practitioners to help with all child care matters.

Making them laugh
One quality of being a child care practitioner is being able to make children laugh
Obviously there are so many traits which lead to a fantastic practitioner, but for me, being able to make children laugh meant so much to how I felt I was performing within my role. I loved the sound of the children laughing and enjoying my company, it gave me a strong purpose to continue with what I was doing!!
There are plenty of reasons why practitioners prefer not to act silly in front of children. Some are self conscious how they look to other adults, whilst others just don't like the idea of dressing up or making themselves look the fool. I got over this very quickly!! The first time I was caught by a parent making their child laugh, I was dressed up with material wrapped around me and I was dancing to some sesame street track on a cd. I must have gone bright red, but the parent said "Don't stop, that looks like fun!"
It is then that I realised it didn't matter what I was looking like or how I was behaving to get a laugh, what mattered was that I was making the children happy!! From then on, it didn't matter who was watching, I was going for it!! I created characters, I dressed up with the children in the home corner, I pretended to be dogs or cats and I even created a few dance routines!! It was so lovely to hear the children tell their parents "Clair was funny today!!" and I feel it really helped me to create great relationships with the children in my care.
It works with adults too! I remember starting a job as a room leader where the other member of staff in the room was very reluctant that I was coming in. I was so worried about how she may perceive me, I must have been just as nervous as her when we first met! But, I carried on being my usual funny self with the children, with a few little one liners for the adults to appreciate, and it really broke the ice. Turned out that she was just as crazy as me and we really hit it off!! We are now really good friends and when I left, she took over my position in the room. I couldn't have wished for a better replacement!
So it just goes to show that being a little bit silly in your role as a practitioner can really help build relationships. It shows children that we don't have to be serious all the time and that laughing is fun! I must admit, if I had had a bad day, a little dance or dress up with a group of 3 and 4 year olds made me feel so much better!!
Give it a go!!

Wrong Turn 2 director Joe Lynch will be directing Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage and Ryan Kwanten in a new horror-comedy called Knights of Badassdom.
Kwanten, star of True Blood, tells Access Hollywood, "It's like Shaun of the Dead meets Role Models. It's that real black comedy that I really love."
Knights of Badassdom is set around the story of a group of fantasy role players who accidentally conjure up a real demon and then have to contend with the otherworldly threat.
Lynch will begin principal photography soon. The full plot details are still under wraps but the Role Models comparison should give you a good indicator of where this is headed.

INDOT: Most of US 30 reopened
The Indiana Department of Transportation says it has reopened most of U.S. 30 sooner than expected after repairs to power lines damaged by recent severe weather were completed quickly.
The department said in a statement issued around 12:30 a.m. Thursday that all of U.S. 30 was open to traffic except at the intersection of State Road 55. That area could remain closed through the early morning.
Officials said earlier that a nine-mile stretch of the road between Interstate 65 and U.S. 41 was to be closed beginning at 10 p.m. for 12 hours. Many drivers use the road commuting to Merrillville and the Chicago area.
The statement says NIPSCO's repair of damaged power lines was completed "much earlier than expected."

Oak Cliff artist Monaliza Morris will undergo a kidney transplant next month. For the last 19 years, she's lived with lupus, an immune system disease that has compromised her kidneys.
While waiting for the surgery to take place, friends have been helping her do some remodeling in her Winnetka Heights house to make her convalescence easier.
Morris is a volunteer at the Human Rights Initiative of North Texas, a non-profit organization that helps refugees who have suffered human rights abuses. They have worked to eliminate the anti-gay bias in immigration laws. Friends said she has worked with the North Texas Food Bank's Empty Bowls program and done AIDS outreach work as well.
Jenny Vann is Morris' best friend. They met in middle school in Hawaii. Vann was the first person to be tested as a possible donor. They were a match, so Vann is giving Morris one of her kidneys the first week of March.
A fundraiser is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 23 at Agora Entertainment, 3225 Premiere Drive, Irving from 5 to 8:30 p.m. "The Art of Friendship" will include live music and a silent art auction.
"The goal of this is to raise $50,000," said RafiQ Salleh, whose partner, Cannon Flowers, is the Human Rights Initiative's CEO. The money will help with the cost of surgery and follow-up medical care.

Villas-Boas confident of Bale stay
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has been told by the club's hierarchy that Gareth Bale will stay at White Hart Lane so long as they qualify for next season's Champions League.
Bale has been the subject of reported interest from Real Madrid in recent months, but Villas-Boas told reporters that his Welsh talisman will commit his future to Tottenham so long as they secure a top four finish in their final five games of this season.
When asked whether Bale would be a Tottenham player next season if they are back in the Champions League mix, Villas-Boas replied confidently: "I think so. That is the information that I have from the club. It has come from the club.
"This club is committed to keeping the best assets. That's the only way that we can ensure that we are in the top four every year. Gareth is part of that project bearing in mind that he has been amazing this season.
"Hopefully, we can develop him to a greater extent. We get the buzz from working with great players and Gareth has developed into a great player, so I couldn't be happier."
Meanwhile, Villas-Boas has responded to Tom Huddlestone's confession that he may look to quit Tottenham this summer due to the lack of first team chances that have come his way in recent months.
After Huddlestone hinted he may 'have to look for another club', Villas-Boas has offered sympathy to the plight of a midfielder who had a big impact on his team when he came off the bench in last Sunday's victory against Manchester City.
"The words are understandable from a player who has not been involved as much as he wanted," added the Tottenham manager.
"We've had lots of players in midfield raising the level this season, so it has been very difficult to get into the team and when the chance happened it opened up for Scotty (Parker), then Tom Huddlestone when Scotty was injured.
"So it is difficult to break into the team but with performances like last week he is able to get more chances, definitely."

Ryan Giggs ready to face 40th birthday
Ryan Giggs insists he is not worried that he will soon enter his fifth decade and said age is just a number.
• Payne: Outplayed, outfought
• Brewin: Three things learned
The Manchester United winger turns 40 on November 29 but, while he recognises his days of playing every match are long behind him, he feels fine to carry on contributing on the pitch.
The senior citizen of the Old Trafford dressing room said he is more concerned by his team-mates' reaction to his landmark birthday.
"Apparently 40 is the new 30, so I'm looking forward to it," he joked to United Review. "I know it's quite daunting for some people but you just have to embrace it, not worry too much about it and just enjoy yourself.
"I've never really put too much stock in my age -- to me, it's more about how you feel and I feel pretty good at the moment. That said, I might try to keep my birthday a secret from all the lads when it comes round on November 29. That might prove tough, though."
Giggs has continued to play after younger team-mates who began their careers after him have hung up their boots.
The player-coach featured in United's first four matches of the season but accepts that, when there are midweek fixtures, he has to sit some games out.
"What's changed most over the years is the time it takes for me to recover after a game," he added. "Instead of having a day's light training after a match, I might have two recovery days now. And playing Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday just doesn't tend to happen anymore. I definitely feel the effects of playing football these days.
"Sometimes I'll see other players who I played alongside -- like Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes or Phil Neville -- and they have retired already, even though they're younger than me. I suppose it's quite funny to think I'm older than them and I'm still going."

As his team made an improbable rise early this season, Geno Auriemma continually warned anyone who would listen.
The margin for error, he often said, was slim.
"We're one injury, couple fouls away from just being average at best," Auriemma said.
So on a night when the UConn women's basketball team stood under the bright lights with a celebrated milestone in front of it, Auriemma saw it unfold. One of his starters was hampered by an injury, a few of his core players picked up some untimely fouls, and his best scorer was simply not scoring.
Would the winning streak end at 99, after so much anticipation and exhilaration throughout Connecticut?

*140 characters is the maximum-allowed length of a Twitter message.
The general consensus on Twitter seems to be that there are two groups (aren't there always?): those who "get" it, and those who don't.
I've mentioned here having tried it, and having had difficulty in comprehending its value, though I didn't mention when I nuked my account a couple/few days after I'd set it up. Just wasn't for me. Since then I've intermittently checked in other others' feeds, seen the app's usage evolve (even over a few weeks), and it started to make sense to me. Still wasn't for me, but I thought I got what it was about, what benefit it delivered to those who were into it.
Then today I happened to read this post: Ambient Intimacy, and I really enjoyed it, it really got my brain juiced up… I disagreed with almost every bit of it. The author is one of the "others" — someone who uses it and values it.
What I particularly valued about the post is that it gelled for me a few things that had eluded my understanding until now. The material on phatic communication I agree with completely. However, "communication simply to indicate that communication can occur" — I think societally we've begun reading considerably more into this than it's worth. I think we're often fooling ourselves into believing these application-facilitated interactions represent real connections, contribute to our sense of identity, and provide a (false) sense of social security.
Attaching a modifier like "ambient" to "intimacy", to me, cancels out the indescribable, the effort, and the vulnerability required to develop real intimacy. Ambience refers to the environment, the surroundings, and yes, those have an effect, but they also fade into the background and disappear when the good stuff gets going and takes precedence. Developing real relationships takes a bit more effort than lighting scented candles and putting on a Marvin Gaye cd.
A point Sherry made when we were discussing this illustrates what I think could be classified as ambient intimacy — but it exists in relationships that are already intimate. It involves those well-established and long-running friendships where you don't need to see each other or be in contact all the time.
Weeks, months, even years can go by, but when you reconnect, you hit the ground running. Connections don't need to be re-established because they're already there. You don't need to find your way to each other, even "what've you been up to?" isn't necessarily necessary. You just start nattering away like little old ladies. You've been partners in crime, you've done the time, and you'll always be there for each other, even if neither of you is actually there. The ambient parts in these relationships are the things that don't need to be spoken, the shared memories, the stories you can finish for each other (but generally involve all involved dissolving into helpless laughter with the effort).
The irony of Twitter culture is that there isn't necessarily any such foundation — it's all about the stuff you never need to talk about in truly intimate relationships. Even certain completely debauched, unintelligent in-person experiences can create a sort of instant intimacy between people that a million Twitter messages can't. Such as? Ever gotten completed wasted with someone you didn't know very well prior to popping that first cork? A crazy drunken evening has a bizarre magical ability to bond people, sometimes for life.
Reading about one friend drinking coffee, another friend reading an article, a third putting up a Muppet icon on their account — these things accomplish nothing. Seriously: who cares? I mean really cares? I have friends who are privy to my deepest, darkest secrets, and I theirs, and we still don't give a rat's ass who's having sushi for supper. These things are trivia. It's voyeurism. You're not taking part in someone's life by reading these snippets. If you were taking part in people's lives, you'd be AT the bar having drinks with your friends, not reading about them doing it.
Yes, there is value in applications like these. Catching the right flight, finding out where the good presentations and parties are at, orchestrating an introduction to cool folks, or keeping abreast of the London tube schedule. But these applications use such technologies as a tool to accomplish something that otherwise wouldn't have been do-able, or that would have been harder to get done. Isn't that the true value of software and web apps?
But we are not designed, not wired, to use technology as a crutch for creating, building, and maintaining interpersonal relationships. Wait… what? Someone with my background is dissing technology as a mechanism for connecting with people? Hypocrisy much?
No, I don't think so. Yes, once upon a time I considered tech-mediated interaction to be equal and often superior to actual face-to-face interpersonal communication, but I'm not quite there anymore. I know that technology makes it possible to "meet" and know amazing people we wouldn't otherwise even know existed. I know that it can keep us in touch much closer to "real-time" than postal mail, for example, and provides more variety (voice, text, pictures, video) than a mere phone call. But I think it's a dangerous assumption that all interactions are created equal.
Twitter enables the formation of cliques. You're either in (on the messaging, the in-jokes, the memes) or you're out — just what so many geeks were denied in high school, no? Being in on it makes you feel like you belong. But belong to what? Clique participation isn't intimacy, either. It's exclusivity. The web, for all its much-ballyhooed democracy, is rife with clique-formation and wall-building. There was, is, and always will be assorted barriers to entrance, from a basic have/have not presence of technology, to the A-List vs. the Z-List.
Social networking has been the It concept for a year or two now. And that's fine. Let's all jump onboard. There is good networking and plenty of fun to be had. If there was no value to any of it we wouldn't keep signing up and crafting profiles. But just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it intimacy-building/enabling. Orchestrating personas and forms of identity don't define or communicate the real person, and adding increasingly thick layers of superficial interaction with other (generally like-minded) people doesn't develop intimacy, either.
One-liner status reports (sorry, "status microblogging") aren't conversations. (Yes, it's possible to hold conversations in Twitter, but how many really valuable conversations take place there?) Conversations take effort, input, sometimes prodding. Typically the most important things for people to say are the hardest to spit out. Cajoling and coddling sometimes, sure. But at the most basic level of interaction? Just show some interest. It cannot be underestimated how much it means on a human level to look someone in the eye. To face them with your eyes, face, and body. To ask — and mean — how are you? And generally the real answer to that question can't be crammed into 140 characters.
We're the most connected people who've ever lived… in certain ways. Hundreds of years ago, people were actually all connected, because they lived in small settlements where families remained tight, and few people travelled far because it was really hard and it sucked. Neighbours were close and people had to rely on each other to get the work done and help everyone survive the winters. And to survive life's hardships. Cuz there were a lot of them. And really, it was pretty much impossible to keep people out of your business. A lot of things, good and bad, were unspoken. They didn't need to be discussed because everyone already knew — they'd been there from the beginning. The greater part of intimacy is experiential, not conversational. Of course, that didn't stop everyone from gossiping like fishwives given the slightest opportunity, human nature being what it is. But I digress… (And I am not, by any means, painting feudal society as overarchingly superior to our own…)
These days, we're always on, always connected, and yet we can talktalktalk typetyeptype all day and all night, and never say anything that matters. I'm having sushi for dinner — but did I mention that I haven't eaten sushi in seven years because my fiance dumped me over a sushi dinner and the taste of it nauseated me for years? Probably not. I'm listening to Blue Rodeo — but did I mention my son was conceived in a tent at a campsite up north while the strains of Bad Timing wafted from the car stereo? Guess not. (I have never had a fiancé or a son, for the record.)
I think a lot of social apps allow us to think we're getting to know people, when all we're really doing is painting pictures of them — and ourselves. I freely admit that I have made this mistake. And realizing the error of one's ways in that vein hurts and is incredibly frustrating. But pictures are only two-dimensional. Do we really want to define ourselves thusly? (Think of archaeologists digging up the remains of us centuries from now.)
Granted, I guess it would fit the standard pattern of how we understand the past. We learn the most from garbage. Societal castoffs, refuse. (And financial records, but that's not central to my point.) So we have pretty much unlimited, practically free storage. An unprecedented ability to record who and what we are. To tell the story of our lives and culture… and so we're saving terabytes upon petabytes of… "I think I want to get a latte" and "this t-shirt has a hole in it"? Surely such a legacy isn't the best we can do…?
Yeah, maybe I sound like I'm overreacting. Nah, not really. I choose not to Twitter, no big deal. It's one app of zillions and will probably be well-forgotten in a year. I'm just using this application as an example. An example of what we're increasingly doing, of what we're increasingly becoming. The danger in false or mislabeled intimacy is that it's a postiche. It allows us to feel, on the surface, as if we're more connected, more involved, more networked. The problem is, despite our ability to connect in more ways than ever before, there are bellwethers that indicate that we are feeling more isolated, more alone, more confused than ever before. Our levels and sheer volume of interaction aren't fulfilling us.
Other cultures often have words and phrases in their languages that cannot be adequately translated into English. But interestingly, English has words and phrases that cannot be adequately translated into English. For example, "fellowship", very commonly used among Mennonites, but with a meaning far deeper and more subtle than a dictionary definition. Same with the true meaning behind Australians and "mateship". And neither of these concepts can be demonstrated via MySpace.
Ugly examples of antisocial behaviour among us come to light from time to time, and we rant and rave and show solidarity and circle the wagons and light the torches for a good old-fashioned witch hunt to purge these negative influences from our midst… while at the same time we fail to understand that we built these communities (or failed to). We chose anonymity and free speech (or denied it). We have shaped these spaces in which we exist and interact. Our choices can, and have, made us the witches we go a'hunting.
We surround ourselves with twittering and chattering that fills up the silence. We have networks that we can share laughs and go for beers with. We have contacts we can ping for favours and information. And we have a nice, cushy social layer also happens to exist and grow and change… while remaining entirely under our individual control. Its members are as close or as far away from us, interpersonally, as we decide they should be. Is that, perhaps, the real draw of this format for interaction? Does our fear of others trump our loneliness?
Despite what our gaming predilections might suggest, we are not gods, aloof, omniscient, devoid of need. We're mammals, and how many mammals are predisposed to being born into, living, growing, learning, working, and dying in herds, packs, and other types of groups as opposed to those that choose to live solitary existences?
Problem is, control is not how you develop intimacy, either. Real relationships are messy. They involve trial and error and risk and vulnerability and misunderstandings and hurting people and getting hurt and healing people and getting healed and teaching and learning (always learning) and profound connections and acting like complete dorks and sharing secrets and discovering surprises and not controlling how open or closed the doors to our psyches are. Intimacy can't be managed via API, and it requires a helluva lot more than 140 characters to build it.

WRAL Saturday morning gets more local news
Posted September 7, 2012
Updated September 8, 2012
Sometimes we are presented with problems for which there is no good answer. Our weekend programming with CBS is the most current example.
Over time WRAL and CBS have continued to add quality news and sports programming on weekends – local news, CBS Sunday Morning, Face the Nation, CBS This Morning, ACC Football, NFL and more. However at the same time, the FCC Children's Programming Act has very strict requirements for television stations including how many hours per week we need to carry and when they must air.
This is where these two issues collide. I'll save you the chase, but in order to stay in compliance with the law, beginning Sept. 8 and until further notice, the second hour (9 to 10 a.m.) of CBS This Morning-Saturday Edition will air on WRAL2. You can find it over-the-air at Ch. 5.2. Time Warner Digital Cable customers get WRAL2 on Ch. 106.
Filling the gap on WRAL will be a half hour of local news at 9 a.m. followed by the children's program Busytown Mysteries at 9:30.
I hope this answers any questions you may have.
If you have concerns or comments, feel free to contact me.

Phips's review published on Letterboxd :
Best comic book/graphic novel and best superhero movie ever. No question.
The opening bank robbery scene is one of my favorite scenes from any film ever. It is so well done and well written. Plus, Ledger's Joker is revealed for the first time and its glorious.
The Joker's magic trick where he makes the pencil "disappear" is just as epic now as it was when I saw it in the theaters and everyone yelled "OHHH!". His "tryouts" later on are just as insane as well.
Furthermore, the tunnel chase and the 18-wheeler flip are so intense and so fucking awesome.
The interrogation scene between Batman and the Joker is the fulcrum on which the entire film balances, as Nolan points out. It displays the Joker's adamance towards his cause, the lack of real power on Batman's part, and the Joker's power over Batman. Batman refuses to break his code but does go so far as to torture the Joker--the Joker prodded and pushed Batman and he crumbled under the pressure.
Everything about Ledger is fantastic. The constant lip licking, shifty eyes, and every other mannerism. Plus, the way he delivers his lines is superb. Recognition must go to Nolan and the costume people as well for "designing" a Joker unlike any other that we've seen in terms of looks. Ledger's hair and make up is ratty and tattered, unlike the relatively clean Jack Nicholson version.
I wish this thing was longer than 2.5 hours. It's that good.

Hyperthyroidism (Proceedings)
Hyperthyroidism is a common disease of cats over 6 years of age. Feline hyperthyroidism is caused by adenomatous hyperplasia or adenoma of the thyroid gland; carcinomas are rare. The disease is bilateral in 70% of cases. The cause remains unknown. Clinical signs can vary depending upon which stage the disease is identified. Weight loss is present in about 90% of cases with polyphagia in about 50% of cases. Cats can become hyperactivity, anxious, and are prone to this especially when being examined by a veterinarian. Most cases have a thyroid slip.Other signs:
• Polyuria and polydipsia
• Heart murmur or gallop rhythm
• Tachycardia
• Systemic arterial hypertension is common.
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea or increased fecal volume
• Panting or dyspnea
• Generalized weakness can occur because of impaired muscle function.
• Cervical ventroflexion is occasionally present and may be due to myopathy, hypokalemia, or thiamine deficiency.
In rare cases apathetic hyperthyroidism can occur with decreased appetite, weight loss and severe lethargy.
Routine laboratory tests
• Elevated liver enzyme (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase) activity is commonly present.
Diagnostic imaging
Thoracic radiographs:
Ancillary testing
• Electrocardiography is indicated when an arrhythmia is suspected.
Specific tests for diagnosis
Hyperthyroidism is usually readily diagnosed by documenting elevated serum total T4 concentration. Normal serum T4 can be seen in hyperthyroid cats with mild hyperthyroidism, hyperthyroidism with a concurrent nonthyroidal illness, or a disease other than hyperthyroidism. If the total T4 is normal and hyperthyroidism is still suspected, serum T4 should be measured again in 1-4 weeks. Alternatively free T4 with a dialysis procedure can be run. This is a more sensitive test (98% vs. 90% with just T4). Falsely elevated fT4 can be seen in cats with nonthyroidal illness.
Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation test

London cops probe fan's monkey gesture
London police launched their second football racism investigation this week on Thursday after a fan was pictured making a monkey gesture during Wednesday's League Cup match between Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Metropolitan Police received a complaint after the fan was pictured in British media, and said it is now investigating the "alleged racist behaviour at Stamford Bridge."
Chelsea is also investigating the incident during the 5-4 victory over United.
"The club will be examining all available footage and asks anyone who can identify the individual to contact the club," the Premier League leaders said in a statement. "Chelsea FC is committed to removing all forms of discrimination and if we have sufficient evidence we will take the strongest possible action, including supporting criminal prosecution."
Police are also investigating allegations referee Mark Clattenburg directed a racial insult at midfielder John Mikel during another meeting between Chelsea and Manchester United in the league on Sunday.
Chelsea has not complained to the police but sent a file to the FA on Wednesday as part of a formal complaint, citing Clattenburg's use of "inappropriate language" towards Mikel.
Chelsea has been involved in a series of race-related issues over the past year.
In March, the club banned for life a supporter who admitted racially abusing former player Didier Drogba.
The most high-profile incident concerned captain John Terry, who is currently serving a four-match ban after being found guilty of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand by the Football Association.
Press Association Sport reported that Chelsea officials were planning to contact police themselves regarding this latest matter.
The club are also understood to be looking into a number of incidents concerning United fans after a pitch invasion and some objects were thrown onto the pitch during the match, which Chelsea won 5-4 after extra time.
Information from Press Association and The Associated Press was used in this report.

This post originally ran on the Pop culture blog.
It's unavoidable: Pundits and reporters are already searching for links between the tragic shooting in a Colorado theater showing The Dark Knight Rises last night and the movie itself. (Here's one such highly speculative report). Might the choice of movie have something to do with the murderous act? No way to know yet. Certainly possible.
But here's something to keep in mind: There are a lot of sick people with a lot of guns out there. They were sick before they saw or heard about the latest superhero movie. Of course this won't prevent widespread finger pointing and accusations of Hollywood depravity.
It wouldn't surprise me to hear the suspect in the shooting rampage blame Batman for his actions. Highland Park's John Hinkley, Jr. Taxi Driver made him try to assassinate Ronald Reagan. Somehow I don't think Martin Scorsese is to blame.
Pop culture makes an easy scapegoat for society's ills. The victims of this tragedy deserve better. They deserve a long look at the deeper root causes of such tragedies, causes that certainly go far beyond a movie about a guy who dresses like a bat.

One Street in Lynchburg Home to Two New Historical Markers
Reporter: Parker Slaybaugh
Lynchburg, VA-Lynchburg is now home to two new historical markers. Historical markers are reserved to commemorate people, places, or events of great significance.
Pierce Street has long been regarded as a centerpiece for the efforts of desegregation. Saturday, the Pierce Street community gathered to celebrate two men who were leaders in the fight for equality.
You may look and see just an old boarded up house. But the history that still resides there is unforgettable.
"We all wonder how history has come this far in our lifetime," said Madalin Price, the granddaughter of Professor Frank Trigg.
Professor Trigg retired into the house in 1926. A former slave, Trigg made sure slavery wouldn't define him. He went on to be president of three colleges in three different states, and was a mentor to thousands.
"He was eighty-some years old, no wonder people still remember his name," said Price.
But the story of the house doesn't stop with Professor Trigg. Where his story ends, Dr. Robert Johnson's story begins. After Professor Trigg's death in 1933, his family sold the house and property to Dr. Johnson. He then put in a tennis court, and went on to train tennis champions such as Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe."
Dr. Johnson was a leader in the efforts to desegregate the sport of tennis, running a program to teach African American youth the game. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2009.
One of Dr. Johnson's standouts was Lendward Simpson. He competed in Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
"Dr. Johnson was truly my hero," said Simpson.
"This is my first time back since 1968 that I have stood on what I call hallowed ground," he said.
The organizer of Saturday's event says it is a very rare thing for two signs to mark the same location. She also says it's even more uncommon that the signs commemorate two unrelated men. These two signs will now make four historical markers all together on Pierce Street.
