DALLAS -- It was a big day in Dallas for the high school seniors in the class of 2017.
Students from Uplift Heights Preparatory High School joined students from around the country for the Nationwide College March.
"This event is kind of a symbolic representation of all of the work that our teachers, scholars, and families have put in over the past several years," said UHPHS Director Andrew Baca.
65 high school seniors -- the very first graduating class from Uplift Heights -- braved the cold to cross Ronald Kirk Bridge together.
"This event is awesome," said senior David Ortiz. "We get to represent our school spirit, Uplift Heights Prep, and 2017!"
"We're the first graduating class so that makes it even more awesome," said Jasmin Alvarez, another senior. "Just feels like yesterday I came to school and I was nervous, and I was like, 'oh lord, I'm a freshman, fresh meat!'"
But now, these scholars are showing the younger students that all that work pays off.
"There's close to a thousand scholars from fifth-through-eleventh grade here to cheer them on," said Baca, "And to kind of see the end of the journey that they're going to take."
And what could be a better symbol of high school ending than officially mailing off college applications? That's exactly what these students crossed the bridge to do.
Wherever they end up, the kids from Uplift Heights are ready for new heights next year.

Alan Rogers Review
First impressions of l'Etoile d'Argens are of space, cleanliness and calm. This is a site run with families in mind and many of the activities are free, making it an excellent choice for a good value holiday. There are 255 level, fully serviced grass touring pitches (all with 10/16A electricity). Separated by hedges, they range in size from 100-250 sq.m. and mainly have good shade. The pool and bar area is attractively landscaped with olive and palm trees. The very large pool complex has been designed very much with families in mind. Reception staff are very friendly and English is spoken.
The exceptionally large pitches could easily take two caravans and cars or one family could have a very spacious plot with a garden like atmosphere. The river runs alongside the site with a free water shuttle service to the beach (15/6-15/9). This is an ideal family site for the summer but is also good in low season for a quiet stay in a superb location with excellent pitches. There are 206 mobile homes for rent. For a large site, l'Etoile d'Argens is unusually calm and peaceful, even in July and August.
Twenty, well kept, spacious toilet blocks with facilities for disabled visitors and some with baby baths. Good supermarket and gas supplies. Bar, restaurant, pizzeria, takeaway. Extensive pool complex (heated in low season), paddling pool, jacuzzis, solarium. Floodlit tennis with coaching. Multisports court. Minigolf. Aerobics. Archery (July/Aug). Football and swimming lessons. Boules. Good play area. Children's entertainment (July/Aug). Activity programme with games, dances and escorted walking trips to the surrounding hills within 3 km. Free water shuttle to beach (15/6-15/9). Fishing. Bicycle hire. WiFi over site (charged).

Her Wikipedia article is here. "Styled Mademoiselle d'Armagnac, she was a celebrated beauty at the court and was a favourite of Louis XIV and was described by Madame de Sévigné as a beautiful and likeable woman. After the marriage of her sister Marie to the Duke of Valentinois (future Prince of Monaco) the court paid close attention to the range of suitors that were offered to Charlotte. These included the famous Saint Simon; the Margrave of Ansbach, brother of the future Queen Caroline of Great Britain as well as various other French noblemen. Another candidate was Louis Alexandre de Bourbon, Count de Toulouse, youngest son of Louis XIV and his mistress Madame de Montespan. Louis opposed the match an gave her a pension in return for her losses. She died unmarried having outlived her many siblings."

Anderson and Roberto came back the next day with a solution. All of the 14-foot boards on the North side of the deck need to be pulled up and realigned, with a different system for measuring than we had used the day before. They measured each end of the board to ensure proper distance, anchored those points, then measured the midpoint, anchored that, and then screwed down the rest of the board with uniform gaps. Due to some minor variation in board widths (1/8 inch or so), this meant that the gaps between boards was not uniform across the deck. Despite this minor issue, it would lead to boards that were straight across the seam.
Once the 14-foot boards had been re-installed, they set to work on cutting the last boards on each edge. These had to be slightly narrower to match the exterior framing dimensions.
At the end of the day, it all worked out, and we could collectively celebrate the completion of laying down the boards for the deck.

Perennial favorite Jonathan Kellerman has to date sold some 40 million books, well over one million per title, on average. Forty million, that's a four followed by seven zeroes. It is a hard number to get your head around. So, perhaps a bit of perspective is in order here: 40,000,000 represents a sufficient quantity of books to give every man, woman, and child in the state of California his or her own Kellerman novel to read, and that is using the 2008 census figures for the Golden State, before the economy predicated the mass exodus to more affordable locales. It is enough books to donate his entire oeuvre (twenty-five Alex Delaware novels, a few stand-alones, several non-fiction titles, and two children's books) to each denizen of Philadelphia, and still have leftovers for a number of the Main Line suburbs. Or how about this: if you were to lay all forty million Kellerman books end to end along the shoulder of Interstate 80, they would reach all the way from Boston to Seattle–and back! Plus a bit of sightseeing if the mood strikes you. (I know some of my nerdy friends are going to have to do the math on this, just to see if I am blowing smoke, so here is the basic calculation: I-80 is 3020.54 miles each way, per Wikipedia, for a total of 6041.08 miles; each book is approximately 10 inches in height, or .83 feet; there are 5280 feet in a mile, or 6360 books, give or take, if you prefer; so, multiply 6360 books times 6041 miles, and you come up with 38 million and change, close enough for jazz, wouldn't you say?)
Kellerman's latest Alex Delaware novel, Deception (Ballantine; ISBN 9780345505679; 352pp; $28), should do its part to increase that total, as it is a cleverly crafted and suspenseful tale of blackmail and murder (and particularly grisly murder, at that) in LA's tony enclave of Bel Air. There are plenty of good candidates for chief suspect in the killing of private school teacher Elise Freeman: her ne'er-do-well grifter boyfriend; or possibly the Hispanic scholarship student who claims she made unwanted advances in his direction; perhaps the pair of spoiled rich kids who counted on Freeman to help them ace their SATs, by hook or by crook. Oh, and let's not forget the duo of sociopathic pole dancers who hover around the edges of the investigation, seemingly always one step ahead of the folks who want to interrogate them. Um, excuse me, I mean interview them. The kicker, though, is that Elise Freeman made a DVD before she died, in which she recounted a lurid tale of sexual predation and abuse at the hands of three coworkers; hmm, that muddies the waters a bit. Deception is much more focused on the plot, and less so on Delaware's personal life, than some previous entries in the series, and it is in plot development that Kellerman excels. Forty million readers can't be wrong, right?
Jonathan number two is Jonathan Stride, protagonist of Brian Freeman's police novels set in the wilds of northern Minnesota. Freeman's books have been well-placed on my short must-read list for several years now, since I reviewed his debut novel, Immoral, in the Whodunit column of BookPage magazine (www.bookpage.com, or available in libraries and bookstores throughout the US) close to five years ago:
"Not since Blake Crouch's chilling Desert Places has a debut mystery caused such a stir in the halls of BookPage as Brian Freeman's Immoral. Set in Duluth, Minnesota, Immoral traces the path of a serial killer, a deviant with a taste for teenage girls. The most recent victim is Rachel Deese, by most accounts a rather arrogant and amoral young woman. There is no body on hand, but all indications are that she has met with foul play like young Kerry McGrath, who was killed some 14 months before. Lieutenant Jonathan Stride, a recent widower, is assigned to the case, along with his Chinese-American partner, Sergeant Maggie Bei. Stride is the world-weary veteran of the pair; Bei, for her part, is the wisecracking sidekick. The plot is cleverly crafted, with villains crawling out of the woodwork at every turn. Even the most recent victim is more than a little twisted; rarely has a crime novel casualty been more deserving of her fate. Though a suspect is arrested, his trial resolves little, and raises yet more questions. Fast-forward three years: Stride is now remarried, not entirely happily; petite Maggie Bei has married a retired Olympic swimmer. The scene switches to Las Vegas, and two more lead characters are introduced. Also, there is some compelling evidence that Rachel may not be dead after all. Or is she? Immoral is a slick and savvy offering and the best debut mystery in quite some time."
Fast forward a couple of years, and Freeman reappeared with the third book in the series, Stalked.
"Two years ago, I reviewed Brian Freeman's first novel, Immoral, calling it "a slick and savvy offering and the best debut mystery in quite some time." The book went on to win the Macavity Award. This month, Freeman is back with the third in his series featuring Duluth cop Jonathan Stride, his live-in, ex-cop girlfriend Serena Dial, and his Asian-American partner Maggie Bei: Stalked. All three characters are fleshed out considerably in this latest outing, especially Maggie, whose lurid after-hours life is about to come under scrutiny in ways the average person cannot begin to anticipate. "Dead of winter" takes on a new meaning as Maggie awakens to discover a) that her gun is missing from the nightstand, and b) that it has been used to plant a bullet squarely into the forehead of her husband (with whom, it must be said, she has not been getting along of late). Maggie's cop instincts take over quickly; she has seen more than her share of dead bodies in her years as a homicide detective. She phones Stride immediately, and both know it goes without saying that Maggie will be considered the prime suspect. But Maggie knows things Stride cannot even guess at, and their convoluted relationship is about to get exponentially more complicated. A couple of clever subplots ratchet up the tension, and the final conflict on the frozen waters of a Minnesota lake is nothing short of inspired—a perfect read for a freezing February night!"
In the latest installment, The Burying Place (Minotaur; ISBN 9780312562748; 352pp; $24.99), Stride is recovering, and not particularly well, from a fall into icy water from a tall bridge. He came very close to dying, and now he's not entirely certain what is left to live for. Academically, he knows he has a loving wife, a compelling job, and close friends, but he cannot seem to muster up strong feelings for any of them. And then a series of killings is followed up by the kidnapping of a young child, and like it or not, Stride is back in the game. And in the space of just 352 pages, his life will change dramatically, more than it has in the previous several books put together. The Burying Place is a bit convoluted compared to earlier Freeman novels, and there are a couple of things I am still scratching my head about, but there is no doubt that it is a page turner par excellence, guaranteed to appeal to his regular readers and to draw in an admiring new crowd as well.

As a mom that loves to travel, I have to pick my getaways from my family very carefully. I think getting away twice, maybe three times a year from everyone is good for a relationship; my husband and I have discussed how important it is to our relationship that we both have time away from each other and the kids.
He gets away about the same amount of time; skiing with friends out west, going to an occasional getaway to a casino town, or going on a rugby getaway.
Traveling to college football games is my idea of fun. I'd rather do that than spa. It's not that I don't enjoy a nice mani-pedi, a massage or an occasional facial; I'm just not into getting away and doing it.
I think with football you either love it or you don't. I've been returning to my college for football games since I graduated about 25 years ago. Every time I go I have a blast. I'm still in contact with a group of friends that out-do eachother each year with serious tail-gating. We do Low Country Boils, Jambalaya and many other great meals. The most important thing is that we have fun (and win the game of course). I love the excitement of getting together with my college friends and catching up. Then there is the thrill of stepping into a football stadium with 90,000 people screaming and having a blast.
I didn't grow up with a house full of boys and a dad that sat around and watched football every Sunday. I grew up in a big family where we were outside playing football on Sunday. I enjoy watching my team, the Florida Gators on tv, but nothing tops the thrill of being at a game.
When I first started following football at the University of Florida, the team was terrible. I'm not sure why I fell in love with the sport but I did. I played Intramural flag football for my sorority and I loved the diving and catching. It was a huge thrill to me.
I go to one or two games a year. I've already been to two games this year in Jacksonville and the last home game in Gainesville – and now my team is headed to the SEC play-offs in Atlanta. I'm going to have to sit this one out since it's the same day as my mine-year-olds' Birthday party. She's been planning it longer than the Gators were in the hunt for the SEC Championship game (I did manage to move the time of her party so I wouldn't miss the kick-off).
Now I have to wait and see if the Gators can make it into the BCS National Championship game. It will be my second Championship game I've seen and there is nothing like the thrill of that! I flew to Tempe, AZ two years ago to watch the Gators beat the heck out of the Ohio State Buckeyes. What a thrill. I left early in the morning and made it out a couple of hours before the game. After the game I had to run toward the airport to find a cab in order to catch the red-eye home.
I made it home that morning in time to drive the kids to school. I'd do it all over again if I could. Traveling to football games: that's my idea of a good time.

|Special Economic Zones
By Maurits Ruis
. 57 pages. Colloquial ebook. $5.95
"Special Economic Zones", which I just finished, is an ebook of 57 pages by Maurits Ruis, a London-based architect. There is an extensive literature about this topic of SEZ, mostly from the economic and urban sociological fields. This book, however, is written by an architect who seems to have a great interest in the question of zone, its history, its implementation, its geopolitical implication.
I will first start with a definition of "zone", then follow with that of "Special Economic Zone" for a better understanding of the book. A zone is a dynamic place of trade, finance, management and communication. As the book states, it is ancient and new. As Keller Easterling, one of the most accurate specialists of global infrastructure, showed in an article titled Zone: The Spatial Softwares of Extrastatecraft, posted in The Design Observer in 2012, the zone is heir to the history and mystique of the ancient free ports, pirate enclaves and entrepôts of maritime trade. The sociologist and political scientist Xiangming Chen charted in 1995 three eras in the evolution and use of the zone: the first era, from the mid 16-th century by the 1930s, is characterized by the Free Port and early Free Trade Zones; the second, from the late 1950s to the 1970s, is dominated by the Export Processing Zones. These zones focused broadly on manufacturing; the third and last era starts in the 1980s with the rise of the Special Economic Zones, the Economic and Technological Development Zones, and the Science Industrial Parks.
|Special Economic Zones | Maurits Ruis
Now the Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Maurits Ruis defines this zone as "geographically delimitated areas with an exempt legal status, that aim to attract foreign capital and generate jobs by offering special incentives to foreign companies." SEZs, in general, profited from international specialization. This is the case of China's SEZs, as the book, which is mostly focused on, stated. A fact is, in the case of China's SEZs — but this is not restricted to China — the implementation of SEZ coincides with a globalization of production in the world's economy, and China's aim of attracting foreign trades to access global markets. Put it in the simplest way, observers have demonstrated that SEZs use foreign capital to stimulate export and national development. The transformation of China's territory into city clusters — as trend in China seem to become groups of large, nearly contiguous cities with many adjoining satellite cities and town — provides a good example.
I shall put economic references aside as a literature from the economic field exists. My concern lies more in the architectural-urban contribution to the implementation of SEZs and to reshape the regions where these instruments are used. The author unsurprisingly chose Shenzhen as case study. In 1979, Shenzhen, in the Guangdong Province, became the first of China's Special Economic Zones. Shenzhen is now considered a China's special city, or a "overseas Chinese community" (qiao xiang). The township-now-high-tech-city became an urban and market-oriented economic laboratory to serve the entire country as a 'window' and a 'base'. The choice for this city is strategic. As Ruis noted, these "SEZs were deliberately located far from the center of political power in Beijing to minimize both potential risks and political interference."
Shenzhen was a fishing village close to Hong Kong. With the implementation of SEZs, Shenzhen estimates a population of 8 million (including a transient population of around 14 million). The city is composed of 7 districts: Futian, Luohu, Yantian, Nanshan, Bao'an, Housing districts in Shenzhen, and Longgang. If SEZ comprises only 4 of the 7 districts, namely approximately 396 square kilometers (approximately 150 square miles), in the following years, the SEZ will expand to other districts to reach a total of approximately 2,000 square kilometers (approximately 700 square miles).
Beneath the becoming-high-tech of Shenzhen, another aspect, more strategic: the geographic proximity between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, Which is not a coincidence. Shenzhen's SEZ status can be deconstructed in terms of the Strategic sites as the city is neighbored with Hong Kong and located in the southeast coast of China, and the linkages that bind them. The connection of these two cities offer many advantages such as low cost of shipping raw materials and products, easy supervision of the production process, and easy coordination with the headquarters in Hong Kong. Needless to repeat, then, Hong Kong is a global city. China developed the setting-up of a link between economic hinterland and overseas. Hence this explains the choice for Shenzhen as a SEZ and the geographic proximity and the economic links to the domestic business environment between these two cities. Note, again, that Shenzhen is not the only city to have been designated as a SEZ; three other cities — Zhuhai and Shantou, both in Guangdong Province, and a province — Hainan Province — were designated as SEZs too (Zhuhai, for example, is close to Macao). All located in the southeast coast of China.
Another important point, this time discussed in the book, is the 'Pearl River Delta'-ization of Asia's coastal regions after Chinese model. SEZs and Pearl River Delta Regions are the front runners of internalization of China's global-market oriented economy. They are also the front runners in spreading Chinese influence and economic models overseas such as Africa, as Ruis writes, and other Asian countries.
A lack, however, beyond the internationalization of China's economy, and its access to global market, concerns the architectural-urban level of SEZs. SEZ is the engine of not only economic growth but also urban growth with enormous, ramifying consequences. The urban growth must be neglected when examining SEZs. It seems to me that a spatial arrangement, architectural-urban study of SEZs is rarely discussed when addressing SEZs while trends of speculation and land loss, inequalities in urbanization and infrastructure improvement increased dramatically in the Chinese territory. What are the spatial and architectural patterns of these SEZs? As Keller Easterling wrote in The Action is the Form, "spatial arrangements are often the inadvertent outcome of rules written in the jargon of business, real estate, logistics, trade, banking, informatics or governance." In examining the instrumentalization of architectural-urban by SEZs, we could better understand how spatial disposition of SEZs as well as constructions of high towers, building complexes, infrastructure and facilities affected Chinese coastal areas, and more broadly China's cities and rural areas; how this zone-oriented approach led to competitions between cities, speculations and inequalities, among others, outside and inside the SEZs. An example concerns land loss. In China, it is stated that urban lands belong to the state and rural lands as part of the village commune reforms in the 1980s. An aspect particularly very complex is the land distribution. Overall, urban land use rights can be transferred to private parties while rural land use contracts can be transferred only to the state. Yet, when transferred to the state, they can be changed into urban land then sold to private parties. This is what happened to Shenzhen's lands creating and exacerbating a "zone fever" along with other estate speculations.
Another negative aspect of SEZs that, unfortunately, was not addressed in the book is inequalities in terms of 'infrastructuralization' of the selected zones. Over the three decades, Shenzhen witnessed an infrastructure improvement of its territory examine the ways, throughout SEZs, to quote Easterling, "in which architecture and urbanism have become repeatable and infrastructural." The means by which Shenzhen has an infrastructure improvement can be an indicator of spatial strategies as I mentioned earlier: both the geographic proximity between Shenzhen and Hong Kong and Shenzhen's SEZ status. The geographic proximity of these two cities may lead to the creation of… ONE city, in a certain future.
While, in my view, the ebook suffers from a spatial arrangement and architectural-urban perspective, this is a very interesting Précis of 57 pages — I insist as the book must be continued. I cannot affirm whether or not this ebook announces a larger study, if it must be considered an excerpt, which I hope so. Be as it may be, for those who want a global outlook on the topic of SEZs and understand why and how China becomes this today's China — city clusters, China's interest for urbanism as economic instrument for global market access, et cetera — without the economic (for example) jargon, this ebook is for you.

The Come Up: Isaiah Rashad
In May, there were murmurs of TDE signing their next artist. Tennessee rapper Isaiah Rashad was already a buzzword in the industry before he even dropped a full project to back it up. Peter Rosenberg, who is always on point when it comes to inside information, tweeted that he met the newest signee, but couldn't say much about it. A month later, Power 106's Rikki Martinez would be the first to announce Rashad's new label home. Still, with no official confirmation from the camp, fans were waiting to hear the name that would be joining Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q and Jay Rock.
TDE prides itself on building things organically. When they brought on 23-year-old singer SZA to the roster, it was off the strength of her raw talent and where she wants to go with her music. That's why signing Rashad isn't too far from the ordinary. He's already got a number of impressive songs ("Hurt Cobaine," "Fake Trill," "Gusto") under his belt that have helped him gain notoriety. In addition, he's rapped alongside his labelmates and proved he can keep up with their thought-provoking lyricism.
Just a few weeks after TDE officially debuted his new track "I Shot Ya Down," we hopped on the phone with the 21-year-old Chattanooga resident to talk about the music scene in his city, getting inspired to rap by Master P, and how he got signed to TDE. Get to know Isaiah Rashad in The Come Up.—Eric Diep

Strader, who graduated from Western Michigan University, acquired his love of craft beer via Bell's while he lived in Kalamazoo. In the early 1990s, he attended an Eccentric Day and became a fan. A couple years later, his wife, Laura, enrolled him in a pottery class at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts.
The Strader family moved to Goshen and by 1995, Eric Strader opened his own pottery studio. Within a few years, Strader says he became lucky enough to blend both passions when one of his potter friends decided to stop making Bell's drinkware and pass the kiln, so to speak, to Strader.
For more than eight years or so, Strader makes the varieties of drinkware sold at the Bell's General Store, including the 20-ounce pilsner cup and the 28-ounce mug. Watch this video to hear more about Strader's work and his process:

|What most of last week looked like. You can't beat puppy snuggles.
- Chad whipping a dodge ball at a 10 year old(ish) at trampoline land, bending his fingernail back and making him cry like a little girl. In his defense they boy was cheating. If that wasn't bad enough... it was the little boys birthday party. Way to kill the party Chad. Birthday ruined.
- One of our nursing home patients saying Haggen Daz over and over and over. It was like a turrets thing of sorts. Best use though was when he would replace all of the normal slew of swear words that older people enjoy with the simple phrase, "Haggen Daz!!!". You would not believe what comes out of these seniors mouths, worse than high school hallways by a mile.
- A patient calling and trying to set me up with his reformed nephew who's rich. It was a long conversations starting with, "Now are you still married?". All in all it was kinda flattering as he said he was really impressed by me. Flattering/Creepy.. then confusing when he told me he used to "pick people in hotels". What does that even mean? I'll take what I can get I guess. Once Chad heard the guy was rich he told me to go for it ;)
- Almost getting neighbors. Last Friday night there were a bunch of people next door partying until 4:30 am. Not just kinda loud but the throwing up on the back patio kind of loud as someone yelled to hold the drunk girls hair. Then... magically.... they were gone. Literally the next morning before 10am they were all gone, never to be seen again. And while I'm confused, I'm fine living with the confusion as long as I never
seehear them again.
- Killing the cockroach I found in the shower all by myself! What? You don't immediately call someone in to kill all the bugs for you? Chad was in bed sick so I figured this one was on me. Luckily there was a cup in the bathroom I could get him into before flushing him. Goodbye!
- My office manager stopping by my house after a couponing extravaganza and gave us half of her trunk full of groceries! Super generous and delicious :)
- Chad on pain killers.
- Chad taking me shopping on Mother's Day!
- Restocking our candy drawer at the 39 cent candy sale while waiting for a prescription. KitKats and Almond Joys and Snickers, oh my!

It's funny how my style change with a seasons. As much as I love to run around
in baggy pants and sneakers, as soon as it goes colder
I may want to dress like a little lady.. That was probably the reason why I decided to
buy an orange coat this year.. It just makes me feel elegant somehow :)
How about you? Does your style change with the season as well?
Have a nice weekend everyone!

Par/Yards: 35-35—70/7,400August 3-7, 2011
FedExCup Pts: 550 Purse: $8,500,000
Third-Round Notes – Saturday, August 6, 2011
Weather: Due to the threat of bad weather, starting times were moved up and players teed off No.1 and No. 10 tees in threesomes from 7-9 a.m. The weather was mostly cloudy throughout the morning and early afternoon, with temperatures in the low to mid-80s and winds SW 5-10 mph.
Third-Round Leaderboard Age
Adam Scott 198 (-12) 31
Ryo Ishikawa 199 (-11) 19
Jason Day 199 (-11) 23
Keegan Bradley 200 (-10) 25
Martin Laird 200 (-10) 28
Luke Donald 201 (-9) 33
Fredrik Jacobson 201 (-9) 36
Rickie Fowler 201 (-9) 22
Zach Johnson 202 (-8) 35
The average age of the age of the last four winners of World Golf Championships events (Nick Watney, Luke Donald, Francesco Molinari and Hunter Mahan) is 29 years, 1 month and 6 days. The prior six winners of World Golf Championships (Ernie Els, Ian Poulter, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods) had an average age of 36 years and 6 months.
There have been 12 different players in their 20s and 12 different players in their 30s win on TOUR this season. Since 2000, there has not been a point in a TOUR season (except when Sergio won the season opening Mercedes Championship in 2002) when there were more different players in their 20s with wins than different players in their 30s.
The third-round leader/co-leader has won seven of 12 times at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, but not since 2008 when Vijay Singh won after finishing 54 holes tied with Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood.
The largest come-from-behind win at the Bridgestone Invitational (of the five in event history) was in 2009 when Tiger Woods won after trailing by three shots heading into the final round; and in 2010, when Hunter Mahan was three back after 54 holes.
Hunter Mahan was T7 after the third round last year before coming back to win his first World Golf Championships event, representing the largest jump in tournament history.
In the 12-year history of the Bridgestone Invitational, only three times has a player won by recording all four rounds in the 60s:
2000 Tiger Woods 64-61-67-67
2001 Tiger Woods 66-67-66-69
2008 Vijay Singh 67-66-69-68
Eight players have a chance to match that feat tomorrow:
Ryo Ishikawa 67-68-64
Keegan Bradley 67-65-68
Martin Laird 66-67-67
Luke Donald 68-69-64
Fredrik Jacobson 68-66-67
Rickie Fowler 68-64-69
Rory McIlroy 68-68-67
David Toms 68-68-68
Thirteen players have recorded all four rounds in the 60s at the Bridgestone Invitational but did not win:
2000 Phillip Price 66-69-66-69 T2
2000 Jim Furyk 65-69-69-68 T4
2001 Darren Clarke 66-68-68-69 3
2002 Fred Funk 68-68-68-68 T2
2003 Robert Allenby 69-69-68-69 T6
2003 Jim Furyk 69-69-68-69 T6
2004 Lee Westwood 69-69-69-69 T9
2006 Jim Furyk 69-65-69-68 3
2006 Lucas Glover 66-69-69-69 T4
2009 Robert Allenby 68-69-69-66 T2
2009 Stewart Cink 69-69-68-68 T6
2010 Bo Van Pelt 67-68-69-67 T3
2010 Rory McIlroy 68-69-69-69 T9
Several players on the leaderboard have a shot at becoming the youngest winner in the history of the World Golf Championships (age on Sunday):
Ryo Ishikawa, 19 years, 10 months, 21 days
Rory McIlroy, 22 years, 3 months, 3 days
Rickie Fowler, 22 years, 7 months, 25 days
Youngest winners of World Golf Championships Events:
Tiger Woods 1999 Bridgestone Invitational 23 years, 7 months, 30 days
Tiger Woods 1999 Cadillac Championship 23 years, 10 months, 8 days
Tiger Woods 2000 Bridgestone Invitational 24 years, 7 months, 28 days
Tiger Woods 2001 Bridgestone Invitational 25 years, 7 months, 27 days
Tiger Woods 2002 Cadillac Championship 26 years, 8 months, 23 days
Tiger Woods 2003 Accenture Match Play 27 years, 2 months, 2 days
Tiger Woods 2003 Cadillac Championship 27 years, 9 months, 5 days
Francesco Molinari 2010 HSBC Champions 27 years, 11 months, 30 days
Only twice in history, have multiple players 22-and-under won in the same season. Rory McIlory won the U.S. Open this year at age of 22 years, 1 month, 15 days. If Ishikawa, Fowler or McIlroy were to go onto victory it would be the third season that multiple players 22-and-under won.
2010: Jason Day and Rory McIlroy
2001: David Gossett and Sergio Garcia (2 events)
Adam Scott – In field via 2010 Barclays Singapore Open victory
Adam Scott broke up a crowded leaderboard – that had as many as six players tied for the lead at one point – with a 66 (-4) in round three, including three birdies over the last five holes. He takes a one-shot lead into the final round of the Bridgestone Invitational.
His only lead in a World Golf Championships event coming into this week was after the first round of the Bridgestone Invitational in 2006 (finished T10). He's now led/shared the lead through the first three rounds of the Bridgestone Invitational. Scott, who has seven PGA TOUR wins, has never led or shared the lead in all three rounds of a PGA TOUR event and gone on to win. He's won following a 54-hole lead five times in his career, most recently at the 2008 EDS Byron Nelson Championship.
Scott is currently No. 50 in the FedExCup standings. A win would move him to No. 16 and almost guaranteed a spot in the season ending TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. He won at East Lake in 2006, the year before the FedExCup began, but has only qualified for the PGA TOUR Playoffs finale twice in the past four years.
This is Scott's ninth time playing at the Bridgestone Invitational. In his eight previous starts at Firestone Country Club, the Australian has only finished under par twice (2006 -5, 2010 -5).
This is the fourth event that Steve Williams has caddied for Adam Scott. Williams was on the bag for Tiger Woods for all of his seven victories at the Bridgestone Invitational.
Scott is ranked No. 4 in the International Presidents Cup Team standings and will be making his fifth appearance in the event held in November in his home country of Australia. Scott is in no need of one of Greg Norman's captain's picks, as he had to rely on for the 2009 event when he finished ranked No. 14 in the standings.
Scott is looking to become the third Australian to win a World Golf Championships event, joining Geoff Ogilvy (2006 and 2009 Accenture Match Play Championship) and Craig Parry (2002 Bridgestone Invitational). Since 1983, Australia is the second-winningest country on the PGA TOUR outside of the United States, (1,014 and 75 wins, respectively).
Ryo Ishikawa – In the field via No. 49 in OWGR as of July 25
Trailing leader Adam Scott by one stroke and T2 with Jason Day heading into the final round of the Bridgestone Invitational, Ryo Ishikawa is in the best position of his career at a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event (25 total starts) after 54 holes. His previous-best standing following the third round was T7 at the 2010 U.S. Open Championship, where he eventually finished T33 after an 80 (+9) on Sunday.
A win tomorrow would make Ishikawa the second-youngest winner in PGA TOUR history, exactly one week older than Johnny McDermott was when he won the 1911 U.S. Open at the age of 19 years, 10 months, 14 days.
In March, Ishikawa pledged to donate all of his earnings in 2011 to help the survivors of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated his Japan's Pacific coast. He is also donating $1,200 for every birdie he makes. His goal is to generate 200 million yen ($2.4 million); the first prize at the Bridgestone Invitational is $1.4 million. Thus far this season, Ishikawa's earnings and birdie pledges have totaled $927,375 (not including this week).
Ishikawa is gunning for an automatic spot on Norman's squad for the November 2011 event in Australia. He's currently ranked No. 13 in the International Team standings, with the top 10 automatically making the team on Sept. 18. In 2009, Ishikawa was one of Norman's captain's picks (with Adam Scott). He was ranked No. 20 in the standings at the time the team was finalized.
Ishikawa has recorded 11 victories on the Japan Golf Tour, but has yet to win an event on the PGA TOUR schedule. He is looking to join the following players who recorded their first PGA TOUR win at a World Golf Championships event: Accenture Match Play Championship: Ian Poulter 2010, Henrik Stenson 2007, Kevin Sutherland 2002, Darren Clarke 2000; HSBC Champions: Francesco Molinari 2010.
Jason Day – In the field via No. 8 in OWGR as of July 25
Following rounds of 63-70-66, Jason Day finds himself just one shot off of fellow countryman Adam Scott's lead at the Bridgestone Invitational. This is only the second time Day has been within one of the lead after 54 holes in his short PGA TOUR career; he's looking for a better result than the previous time, at the 2008 Turning Stone Championship, where he was one off the lead heading into the final round but shot 75 (+3) on Sunday to finish T19.
Day, 23, has seven top-10 finishes on the PGA TOUR this year, including runner-up finishes at the Masters and the U.S. Open.
Day and Fowler are the only two players in the top 10 who managed to birdie the 18th hole in round three. Day's approach landed just 6-1/2 feet from the pin and he knocked the putt in for birdie. Day made birdie on No. 18 on Thursday and bogey on Friday.
Day is 13th in the FedExCup standings and No. 1 in the International Presidents Cup Team standings.
Should he win tomorrow, Jason Day would be the second-youngest in World Golf Championships history at the age of 23 years, 8 months, 26 days.
Keegan Bradley – In the field via win at HP Byron Nelson Championship
Rookie Keegan Bradley, 67-65-68, is two shots back from Adam Scott's 54-hole lead at the Bridgestone Invitational. Bradley has recorded three straight rounds in the 60s only once before in his rookie season, at the Bob Hope Classic, a five-round tournament. He shot 66-67-68-66-70 in the final round and finished T7.
Bradley's win at the HP Byron Nelson Championship was in come-from-behind fashion, as he trailed by four shots entering the final round, eventually defeating Ryan Palmer in a sudden-death playoff. Before this week, his best position heading into a final round was three shots off the lead at the Bob Hope Classic, where he eventually finished T7.
Bradley, Brendan Steele, Gary Woodland, Jae-Bum Park, Harrison Frazar and Scott Stallings are playing in their first career World Golf Championships event. No player, other than Jeff Maggert, who won the first-ever WGC event, has won a World Golf Championships tournament in his first start.
Henrik Stenson is the only rookie to win a World Golf Championships event (2007 Accenture Match Play Championship). The last rookie to win multiple events in a season on TOUR was Todd Hamilton in 2004.
Bradley will be 25 years, 2 months old tomorrow; a win would make him the fourth-youngest World Golf Championships winner in the 13-year history of the series.
Bradley is currently No. 25 in the FedExCup, with his sights set on making the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola, the finale in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. In the four previous installments of the FedExCup, only five rookies have managed to qualify for the Playoffs: Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy in 2010; Marc Leishman (2009); Andres Romero (2008); and Brandt Snedeker (2007). Leishman, Romero and Snedeker advanced through to the TOUR Championship, and Romero and Snedeker went on to win Rookie of the Year on the PGA TOUR in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Bradley is No. 39 in the U.S. Team Presidents Cup standings. A win this week would most likely move him into the top 15. The top 10 automatically make the team following the BMW Championship, Sept. 18, with two captain's picks named Sept. 26 (after the TOUR Championship).
Martin Laird – In the field via win at Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard
Scotland's Martin Laird moved into contention thanks to a third round the 60s this week (66-67-67), giving him five consecutive rounds in the 60s at the Bridgestone Invitational, dating back to the last two rounds of the 2010 event (70-71-68-68, finished T16). He's T4 heading into the final round, two shots off of Adam Scott's lead.
Luke Donald – In the field via win three wins and 2010 Ryder Cup
Despite a bogey on the closing hole in round three, England's Luke Donald is in contention to win his second World Golf Championships title of the year (Accenture Match Play Championship). Only Phil Mickelson (2009 Cadillac Championship, HSBC Champions) and Tiger Woods (three different seasons) have won more than one World Golf Championships event in a season.
Fredrik Jacobson – In the field via win at Travelers Championship
At 36, Fredrik Jacobson is the elder statesmen among a group of young guns on the leaderboard. The Swede recently picked up his first PGA TOUR win at the 2011 Travelers Championship after 188 starts, and that victory brought him back to a World Golf Championships field for the first time since the 2008 Bridgestone Invitational.
Entering this week, Jacobson's career scoring average at the Bridgestone Invitational was an unimpressive two-over par 72 (12 rounds). He had only recorded two rounds under par in those previous three starts. This week, he's at 201 (-9), having recorded all three rounds thus far in the 60s: 68-66-67.
Miscellaneous Notes
Reigning FedExCup champion Jim Furyk made an ace on No. 5 in the third round, holing out from 200 yards with a 6-iron. It's the first hole in one on No. 5 in event history, but it's Furyk's second at the Bridgestone Invitational (No. 15, 2nd round, 2006). The only other ace made during the Bridgestone Invitational was by Stewart Cink (No. 15, 4th round, 2000).
Rickie Fowler recorded his second eagle of the tournament, holing out a sand wedge on No. 11 from 95 yards. Fowler hit a gap wedge from 109 yards on the par-4 third hole for eagle during the second eagle.
Bubba Watson hit a 415-yard drive on the par-5 16th hole during the third round, putting him T2 for longest drives of the season.

The more you understand about computers, the better your shopping experience will be. So you've got to make time to read the following article. The information and tips in this article has been sources from experts in the industry in order for you to make an informed decision.
If your desktop runs slow, you might want to conduct a boot check. Run "ms config" from your start menu. Look at which applications start when you boot up the computer. If there are programs listed that you don't use, set them so they don't automatically start. Your computer is going to run a lot faster when you do this.
Use virus protection software. If not, you could end up with malware. This malicious software can steal personal information, and make your computer run slowly. Many of the programs run scans and repairs your computer regularly when you set it right.
Carefully look at any add-ons that come with the desktop computer that you want to buy. Most computer stores offer accessories. It is important that you purchase only what is needed. Also, be aware that some add-ons will be cheaper at other sites. This will cost you an arm and a leg in the end.
If you think your computer is running slow, do a boot check. Run "ms config" from your start menu. This menu lets you see exactly what programs all start at the boot point of your machine restarting. If you see any programs in the given list that are not ones you need, disable them. This will expedite the speed of your operating system.
Buy a desktop you can buy with everything you need installed. Many people buy computers that are too expensive for features they don't use. Be selective with the components and features to save some cash.
Make sure your fan is working and the interior is dust free regularly. You can easily remove the case and use compressed air to blow off any dust that has settled. This keeps the fan functioning properly and keep your computer cool and clean.
Go online to read a variety of user reviews before deciding which desktop computer is right for you. It is tough to make a choice from so many options, but by doing some research, things will be easier.
If you want to get a Mac but have programs on the PC, just get Parallels for the Mac. This software gives you many contemporary features. This way, you can run all your PC programs. You will, however, have to separately purchase the needed PC operating system that goes with it.
If you are a gamer and love playing on your desktop computer and you are looking for that ultimate gaming experience, then you need to remember a few things. A system requires a solid video card, 4 Gigs or more of ram, and a strong display screen. You can also buy special keyboards and controllers to enhance your play.
There are some things you should keep in mind if you want to buy a gaming desktop. Make sure that there is a video card and a lot of memory included. It is also possible to purchase a keyboard or controller to improve gaming.
Before you start shopping for your next desktop computer, think about how you'll be using it. The type you need depends on these tasks that you do regularly. Gamers have different requirements than those who are just browsing.
Know where to find manuals for your new computer, especially if they are online. Make sure that online information is complete so that you can always get the software and driver updates you need.
In order to do transfers of large video files, you will need a writable optical DVD drive. Bigger multimedia files may require a drive larger than a CD drive. A DVD may be necessary in terms of providing enough space. Determine whether you need or want the extra space that a DVD optical drive provides over standard CD drives in order to assess whether it makes sense for you to incur the extra cost in purchasing a desktop computer with this feature.
To transfer some large video files, you will need a desktop computer with a DVD optical drive that is writable. CDs tend not to hold much data, therefore they don't work for large files. A DVD will provide the additional space you need. It will cost a bit more, but will be far more convenient down the road.
When looking for a new desktop, make sure the software that comes with it is legal. You need to be given both the CD's and keys for all software installed to ensure you can reinstall it if you must.
Is your rig equipped with enough memory. RAM is a critical component of a desktop pc. Is storage lots of data on your desktop computer something you plan on doing? Storing pictures also takes a lot of space. If you do need to store a lot of data, you need to make sure that your computer has the memory to handle it.
Is your rig equipped with enough memory. When it comes to desktops, memory is important. Is storage lots of data on your desktop computer something you plan on doing? Do you take photographs that you need to store? You must answer these questions honestly in order to find the most suitable computer for your needs.
Many changes have occurred in the computer world, and now it is possible to get a desktop off-the-shelf for less money than a laptop. You can get a computer for a few hundred dollars which works extremely well. Only buy your new computer from a reputable retailer who will be there to service your computer if you have issues.
If you want to make an environmentally friendly computer purchase, search for mini PCs. They do not require a great deal of electricity but usually give you plenty of processing power to complete most tasks. This is a great choice if you do little more than read and send emails, surf the internet and create the occasional document.
If you want an environmentally friendly computer, look into a mini PC. They operate with less electricity usage, and normally have enough power to get many tasks accomplished. If you check your email, surf online, visit Facebook, create documents and little more, then this is the machine for you.
Do not miss out on your dream computer because you're waiting for the price to drop. Many people watch for deals before buying a computer. They always feel a much better deal is just around the corner so they miss out. Usually deals won't be so different, so as you discover a great deal you should take it.
Avoid getting caught up in price drops. Deals are something that can actually cost you in the end. Some of them don't buy one because they are waiting on a better deal. There is not much of a discrepancy between the deals that you get.
Think about peripheral items when computer shopping. At minimum, you require a mouse, keyboard, monitor and speakers. A printer can be very useful as well. Are there additional components you may need?
The standard used to be that when you bought a computer, you also bought the monitor and printer as part of a bundle. You shouldn't do this. Monitors for computers are harder to find, since you can use your flat-screen television these days. If you have an existing keyboard and mouse, they should be compatible with this.
People used to buy computers with all the peripherals in a bundle. Steer away from this now. You may be able to use your flat-screen TV as you monitor. Remember that if you're satisfied with your current keyboard and mouse, there's no need to get new ones.
Get a keyboard that is ergonomically correct when you purchase a desktop computer. If you spend a lot time on your computer, a special keyboard that is designed for hand comfort can benefit you. They are specifically designed to reduce the stress on your hands and wrists.
You have two hard drive options to choose from with varied choices among them. The first is called an HDD drive, and it's known as the common standard. SSD is the newest version of hard drives. The SSD is faster, but it costs more and has less capacity.
In order to get the best computer deal, it pays to read up on all the various reviews. Don't purchase a computer simply based on price. Most of the time, very cheap computers will have problems that go along with them.
Prior to making any moves, think about how the computer will be used. Make a list of what you will use it for. Include all activities to ensure the computer you choose will meet your needs.
Make sure you know exactly what you want. Make a list of different tasks that you think you'll be using it for. You should make it pretty comprehensive so you know nothing is omitted.
A lot of computers at the high end have at least two video cards. Depending on what cards they are, this can run in pairs or in multiples in configurations called Crossfire or SLI. This is great for advanced gaming on more than one monitor, but if that sort of activity is not a priority, a single video card ought to suffice.
Date Standards
Look at what software comes with a desktop. Never assume that the computer has the word processor you need. Quite often, new computers only ship with limited time free trials. The price for buying the computer will be lower, but when you purchase software separately, you will have to pay more.
It's very common for most computers to give you the ability to use Wi-Fi. But you must make sure when purchasing a new one that it offers the most up-to-date standards. The new Wi-Fi that has faster speeds is N, so you want to make sure that it does not only support B and G. When you see the faster speeds you get with up-to-date standards, you won't regret it.
Always check on processing speeds for computers you're considering. Overclocking is rampant in some stores. Before you purchase any desktop computer, make sure to look at its capabilities thoroughly. Take a close look at the exact processor if you happen to know the model.
Which operating system are you going to use? Most systems are different from one another. It is important to pick a computer that has the operating system you can make the most of and enjoy using.
There isn't one specific brand of desktop computers that is far superior to the others. Figuring out what your specific needs are will help you find the right computer. Is the hardware good quality? What different types of software is loaded onto the computer? What kind of customer service is available? Be sure to pay attention to such issues.
If the initial start up time of a computer is a concern for you, look for SSD drives in some of the newer models. These drives have frequently used programs and the operating system itself installed directly so that boot time is very fast. But, should the SSD fail, you need a data drive so you can back your files up.
One of the most important parts of a computer is the hard drive. Keep the drive clean, and it will last longer. If you have a great deal of unused files, the entire system becomes sluggish.
Video Cards
Consider what you need a computer for, before you start looking for a new one. You can save money if you only need a computer to run basic tasks. If you play to use the computer for entertainment, gaming or graphics-heavy applications, you need to make sure the necessary components are already installed.
Some high-end desktops have multiple video cards. These video cards can be make a difference in how your computer runs. That is helpful for multiple monitors and high resolution gaming, but if that's not something you're into, one video card is enough.
Consider saving money by buying a used or refurbished computer. You can buy one on Craigslist or at Best Buy. They will work very well and will save you a lot of money and you could easily upgrade them if you need to.
It's important that you buy the right computer. You should have a good idea of what you are looking for now that you have read this article. If you do that, you'll soon have the right computer, so get started!
When shopping for a desktop computer, try not to worry too much about processor speed and hard drive space if you only plan on using it for Internet and word processing. Most desktop computers have similar capabilities. Some computers will work better than others though.

Central Memorial Park is Calgary's oldest having been designed in 1889 in formal Victorian style. After decades of decline the park was refurbished in 2009 -2010. There is a very informative video on the Calgary Parks website about the history and redevelopment.
Location: Between 12th and 13th Ave. SW and 2nd and 4th St. SW
Amenities: Cafe (which is reopening under a new name), Public Library, Public Washrooms and many unique food trucks on 12th Ave everyday.
Parking: Pay parking only in the area
It's been years since I've been to this park, when I lived in the area in a younger day this was a shortcut in or out of downtown, except for the historic library building, not much to see. This is a bronze inset that I thought was a nice design until I realized it was a map of the park!
On the East side of the park is a commemorative statue to World War I soldiers added in 1924.
According to the City's website this park came under the direction of William Reader around 1912, he planted many of the trees including the very large poplars on 12th Ave. During the renovation in 2009 some of the very oldest poplars were cut down as they are short lived and prone to falling and some other trees were moved with large calipers like the crab apples now on 13th Ave. The fountains were an original idea but were never installed by Reader as he thought them too expensive. The building you see in the background now stands where the Burns Manor used to, also before the wars there was a pavilion for live bands at that end of the park to enjoy whilst strolling around the formal gardens.
I was enjoying the two large Burr Oaks which are on either side of the equestrian statue here, I don't think they are one hundred years old unfortunately.
This equestrian statue commemorates the Boer War, it has been called one of the finest sculptures of it's kind in the world. Here you can see the carefully placed and trimmed spruce, some of these were replanted to conform to the formal elements of the garden. The paths are made from crushed stone to replicate what would have been used more than one hundred years ago.
On the West side of the park is the World War II Cenotaph which is still used for Remembrance day services. The eternal flame, between the monument and the flag pole was kept alive in lanterns during the renovation and relit when the park reopened in 2010 by a veterans group.
There is a new element added with these water fountains which are apparently popular with children but my dog was not very impressed, surprisingly!
I found this use of Blue Lyme Grass on 13th Ave SW very interesting and eye catching.
Just across the street on 13th Ave SW is this public installation of a metal tree that I found quite wonderful!

Get Her Some Water: 7 Celebrity Ladies Who Are a Bit Too Thirsty For Attention
I can't imagine being a Hollywood celebrity. Whether we're talking about folks in the music industry or those on the big and small screen, your success is based on how many people know your name, know your face, and care enough about you (as a true fan or a hater who clicks on your posts or listens to your music in the hopes you'll fail) to buy what you're selling. Can't be easy. Some people are lucky enough that their talents or straight up sex appeal keeps them on people's minds, but others aren't so lucky, so they do the absolute most to get people talking about them. For example, check out these chicks and the antics they partake in:
Melody Thornton
You know Melody, right? No? Well, I'm sure you at least know what her boobs and behind look like, because in an attempt to pretend she was being fashion forward and to get her name in people's mouths, she showed up to an Elle event in a completely sheer dress. So sheer that her breast were exposed to the extreme (not just Areola, but like, the whole thing), as well as part of her vajayjay. The former Pussycat Doll might have exposed herself because she wanted people to remember her, and in turn, check out her new mixtape, P.O.Y.B.L, which was released recently. But this was just way too much. No pasties? No nothing? C'mon girl…
As sweet as Ashanti is, she's been trying a bit too hard lately. From being seen out in scandalous sheer dresses, sending out pics of herself at the most random of events, and trying (keyword: trying) singing "I Have Nothing" on "Good Morning America" after Whitney passed, she's done a little bit of everything. But when she attended the premiere of the Denzel flick, Safe House, and was trying to low-key be all over Denzel (in a very VERY short dress) and push Pauletta out the way to get some pics taken of the two together, I was too through. I know you're trying to get back in the R&B game, but once again…Ashanti, Ashanti…C'MON!
Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams, Formerly of 3LW
Speaking of people exposing a bit too much of what God gave them to folks who don't care to see it, I'm sure you heard about Bailon's little wardrobe malfunction a while back, correct? The singer, Cheetah Girl and "BFF" of Fabolous (*side eye to this day*) "accidentally" showed off her vajayjay when attending an event in NYC in March. She wore a dress with a sheer front and back (but at least the back had some design to cover her crack). While the front had a piece that was supposed to keep her covered, the wind blew it, and out came her cooca. Though she played like she was distraught about it, the attention she received because of it must have helped. She is about to get her own reality show with friend (and former interim "106 & Park host"), Julissa Bermudez.
And as for her former group mate, Kiely Williams, she thought she would get her Rihanna on by releasing a raunchy video and song called "Spectacular." I mean, she had the Ri-Ri bob and everything. I'm sure she thought the video was going to launch her solo music career. But what the former other Cheetah Girl forgot was that she had young female fans, and all that talk of "The sex was spectacular," "Last time I remember I was face down, a** up" and condoning drunken sex wasn't going to go over with their parents. The video was a fail, and last time I checked, she was trying to get her own reality TV show to no avail. Good luck with that…
Coco Austin
Maybe when you've got it, you shouldn't be afraid to flaunt it, but there's kind of a difference between sometimes flaunting your lady bits and just having them out for the world to see a majority of the time. Coco and Ice-T seem like a lovely couple, but sometimes she just does the absolute most. Whether she's Tweeting pics of herself sleeping butt naked next to her nephew, displaying a photo of her dog teabagging her, or just refuses to wear real clothing (just the tightest of dresses, bra tops, G-strings and the tightest camel-toe inducing pants ever made), Coco does what she knows is going to get her attention.
La La Anthony
Lala is another person I think comes off like a very sweet woman, but ever since she started her reality show, everything she does nowadays comes off very staged and plastic. From showing off her curves in a bra and underwear in her "Funny or Die" skit about the right to be a pervert (which wasn't that funny at all) to running around town trying to make nice with Anna Wintour and being dressed to the nines just to take Kiyan to run some errands, she's now doing her everything in her fashionable power in the attempt to be another reality TV star/actress who would rather create drama and storylines for her show. Yeah…La done changed.
Montana Fishburne
This young lady's situation actually makes me sad because of how she embarrassed the mess out of her accomplished father. Trying to get like Kim K, Paris Hilton and the others who catapulted sex tapes into millions and careers, Montana jumped head first into the adult film industry in the hopes of getting broke off. But instead, her films didn't do as well as she had hoped, her dad basically told her she wasn't welcomed in his life anymore, and she started getting into a lot of legal trouble, including getting charged with false imprisonment and battery. That type of attention is never needed.
Erica Mena
When all else fails and you're not important enough to get cast on a reality TV show (as if it even takes that much), somehow guest star on one and start a fight! That's what video chick Erica Mena did in the short time that she was on "Love and Hip-Hop." Though she tried to play like she was made out to be the bad "guy" thanks to some classic VH1 editing, everyone involved said she was being a crazy on her own. She virtually came out of nowhere, trashed cast member Kimbella and said she made video girls look cheap and bad, and even talked about her kids. Kimbella threw a glass in anger, a fight happened, and next thing you know, Mena was all over TMZ and other big websites throwing shade and saying VH1 ruined her career. After that fight, VH1 kept filming this fool back for the show, and each time you saw her she would be the loudest person in the room trying to get camera time, and the most obnoxious. So you know what that means…she'll probably be back for next season!
Kim Kardashian
We have to include the most press-thirsty chick of all time. From her 72-day marriage, to her new relationship with Yeezy, the whole powder throwing incident and her reality shows in general, Kim Kardashian makes her money off of getting your attention. There's nothing genuine about anything this chick does, and from the men she dates to the people she hangs with and the places she goes, a majority of it is done for publicity. And as she has taught us, there clearly is no such thing as bad publicity (even when people trash you for wasting millions-even if it didn't come out of your own pocket-on a wedding that created a marriage that lasted shorter than a season).

Such a painful problem it is to create Blackberry software from anything other than their proprietary JDE. There are options, however. There's some blackberry Ant tools (an independent project and also there's a few things in the Antenna project). Then there's RIM's rapc docs, which aren't too informative. Finally there's the post I made a while ago detailing some of the inner workings of rapc. In the post and also in the comments I hint at ways to get images and other resources into the final cod file. To save you the pain of reading there I'll write about it here. Once you figure out how to compile with RAPC and at least get a working cod file, you need to compile again. The trick is to pickup the jar file that RAPC creates next to your cod and stick images and resources in there. Finally, remove some rapc generated .csi and .cso files before you pass the jar back to rapc. (If you forget to remove these files rapc will complain and list them in the error output, though you might not understand what it's trying to tell you. Just know if you get an error recompiling jar and you see mention of a file ending in .cs-whatever that you'll need to remove the file(s) in question.) Here's some pseudo-code since I'm too lazy/busy/uncertain/tired/vitamin-B-deficient/loaded-with-excuses to post the real solution:
call rapc net_rim_api.jar -midlet -codename MyApp MyApp.jad @myJavafilesList.txt updateJar MyApp.jar (use images/resources) removeRapcFilesFromJar MyApp.jar call rapc net_rim_api.jar -midlet -codename MyApp MyApp.jad MyApp.jar

West Ham has attempted to bring back Carlos Tevez in the team, but was denied by the high financial claims on the Argentine, confirmed one of the owners, David Sullivan.
The attacker demanded to take 250 000 pounds a week until tender on the `Hammers` has been about 150 000, which ultimately meant that by the agreement and will not be reached.
`We tried to get Tevez, but he asked for 250 000 a week. In this situation, it will leave u where it is right now and where we don`t pay a lot of taxes.`, Sullivan said.
The Argentinian returned to Boca Juniors after a successful career in Europe, which started from West Ham. During the 2006-2007 season, he scored 7 goals in the last 10 meetings and helped the campaign for survival. He always talked about his love for the `Hammers`, but the boss feels that he was not completely honest.
`In this business, those words probably mean that many will love West Ham if we pay him for 250 000 per week. It really is a great love for us. I think either way our proposal was extremely good.`, he added.
Londoners still settled a new player for the attack, though not a quarterback. The team figured out with Besiktas for Gokhan Torre who will arrive at the team hired for the season, and then can be bought.

The entrepreneurs representing Frameri Interchangeable Eye Glasses on the Shark Tank is Conrad Billetz and Kevin Habich. When buying a pair of prescription glasses from Frameri, the first pair of frames and lens cost $200.00 that's comparable to other online eye wear services. But because of the patented technology that quickly makes snapping in and out the lens, you can add another set of frames with a brand new look for only $100 more.
Furthermore, let's say you have a collection of Frameri frames, and over time, your vision changes requiring new lens for better eyesight.
Instead of spending hundreds of dollars updating all your frames with new glass, you simply order a new set of lenses that easily snaps into your existing frames. I don't think Optometrists are going to like this new form of interchangeable eye wear, but it certainly makes a lot of sense.
The Frameri Eye Wear did what the majority of Shark Tank Contestants do these days; they first started a crowd funding campaign to prove the concept. Billetz chose Indiegogo to help bring Frameri to market with a $30,000.00 goal in September 2013. The campaign successfully ended over 200% of its goal raising over $63,000.00 to kick start this project.
A year later on September 10, 2014 the Frameri Eye Wear was featured on CNBC's
"Power Lunch Show" where three Angel Investors vote on new business opportunities. Conrad mentions Frameri just launched as a business three weeks prior to the Show, and also talks about his successful campaign to raise the first round of capital. Surprisingly, all the investors went out not seeing the full potential of this business model. But who cares what the Sharks think when 84% of the viewers loved the concept and voted they were "IN" as was the case with Frameri. Getting an additional set of prescription eyeglasses for essentially half the cost was a big hit with CNBC viewers. Will Shark Tank viewers have the same response to accessorize prescription eyeglasses?
Frameri Eye Glasses Review before Shark Tank AppearanceMaybe the Sharks on CNBC didn't see the value in interchangeable eye wear, but other Angel Investors so far have invested a minimum of $800,000.00 since that time. One we'll known investor and who'd also make a great "Guest Shark" is the former CEO of AOL, Steve Case. The Frameri won $100,000.00 prize in Rise of the Pitch competition hosted by Steve Case, and since then, Steve now seems to be keeping a close eye as if he has a stake in its success. The other Angel Investors I'm not sure of, but wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of the remainder investment came from a deal on the Shark Tank Show.
Watch Frameri Eye Wear on the Shark Tank this Friday night in Episode 626 and see if the Sharks can make a deal for the only interchangeable prescription frames and lens on the market.
