Tourism's impact on the local economy keeps growing.
Statewide, tourism contributed more than $12.2 billion to Kentucky's economy in 2012, and in Marion County, that impact increased by 9.6 percent to $21.45 million last year.
"It was well above the previous year and well above the state average," said Carla Wagner, the administrative assistant for the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission.

In One Word – Describe This Bathroom
Take a look at this bathroom and describe it in one word.
Some of my favorite were:
- Hideous
- 70s
- Delicious
- Retro
- Grandma
Make sure you add yours to the bottom in the comments.
What's nice about something like this is it takes away from the mold and dirt that accumulates in your bathroom. Me, mine is all white, or at least it would be if I cleaned it every once in a while. If I had something that looked like this, it'd be less noticeable.

The injury news keeps on coming for the Mets. And, it isn't good. But, it sounds familiar.
Jose Reyes' overative thyroid has gone from he'll be fine to being out two to eight weeks. Where have we heard that before? And, with Reyes, too.
The test results are in and GM Omar Minaya said: `"It doesn't look good right now. We will have to prepare for that."
Reyes will shut it down completely and remain at home. He'll join Carlos Beltran on the disabled list at the start of the season.
Reyes' agent , Peter Greenberg, said: "Jose is obviously a little bit disappointed that it's going to be a matter of weeks as opposed to days, but it's a completely, treatable, curable situation. I think we all view it as good news."
Minaya said there was no medication for this and he will be treated with diet and exercise. That seems odd, isn't there a medication for everything? And, another thing I don't understand, if rest and diet reduce his numbers to normal levels then what happens when he gets his heart rate up again.
I'm amazed there is no treatment. That's not what I read.

Mildred Delores Jeter, born in 1939 or 1940, grew up in Central Point, near Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia. It was a small town where of course everybody knew everybody else. By the time Mildred was eleven or twelve years old, she was smitten with the handsome, blond, older boy with the curious name, Richard Loving. A friend of Mildred's family, Richard must have liked her, too, because they became sweethearts.
When Mildred turned 18, Richard asked her to marry him. There was just one problem: Mildred was not blonde like her sweetheart. Mildred was the daughter of two parents who were part black and part Indian. The Commonwealth of Virginia prohibited mixed race marriages under its 1924 "Racial Integrity Act." So Richard and Mildred drove about 90 miles north to Washington, D/C. They picked the name of a minister from the D.C. phone book, and got married. Then they drove back home.
Five or six weeks later, the Caroline County sheriff rousted Mr. and Mrs. Loving from their bed at 2:00 a.m. "Whose this woman you're sleeping with?" he demanded of Richard.
"I'm his wife," Mildred replied. The sheriff handcuffed them both and took them to jail. They were charged with illegally "cohabiting as man and wife, against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth" in violation of the Racial Integrity Act, a felony.
At their trial, the Lovings pled guilty. Judge Leon Bazile said, "Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay and red, and He placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with His arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that He separated the races shows that He did not intend for the races to mix."
The judge sentenced them to one year in jail, but suspended the term for 25 years on condition that the Lovings leave Virginia and not return. Upon their release, they moved to Washington, D.C. On appeal, the Virginia Supreme Court upheld the convictions, but pointedly reminded the trial judge that they should have been sentenced to prison, not jail.
The Lovings might have, at that point, lived the rest of their lives in blissful obscurity. But Mildred missed her mother and Richard didn't think it right that he could not raise his family in the place where he grew up and called home.
Mildred wrote to then-U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in 1963. He referred them to the American Civil Liberties Union. With ACLU lawyers, the Lovings began fighting their convictions and banishment in both state and federal court.
On April 10, 1967, the case came before the United States Supreme Court. You can hear the argument yourself right here. The issue was whether Virginia's ban on interracial marriage (and similar laws in 17 other states) violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Court announced its decision two months later, on June 12, 1967. Chief Justice Earl Warren, speaking for a unanimous Court, said the Virginia law was simply "invidious racial discrimination" which was "odious to a free people." The law was unconstitutional. Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967).
Justice had prevailed for the Lovings and many others.
Richard and Mildred moved back home and quietly raised their three children.
Richard Perry Loving died the victim of a drunk driver in 1975.
Mildred Jeter Loving passed away last Friday, May 2, 2008.
June 12 is celebrated by mixed race couples and their friends and families as "Loving Day."

Perry Mimosa/
Not all pear ciders qualify as perrys. A true perry features juice from highly tannic cider pears; pear cider commonly blends sweeter juice from dessert pears with either apple cider or perry. The flavor is typically much more delicate than any apple-based cider.
makes 1 cocktail | start to finish: 5 minutes
2 ounces chilled orange juice
4 ounces chilled pear cider, or traditional perry
optional garnish: orange twist
Pour the orange juice into a champagne flute. Top with cider, garnish with a twist of orange zest and serve.
The best mimosas are made with ultra-fizzy methode champenoise ciders that tend towards the dry side. Look for Finnriver Artisan Sparkling Cider, Snowdrift Cider Co.

Sounders winger Steve Zakuani wondered if he'd ever play soccer again in the months after a brutal sliding tackle from Colorado midfielder Brian Mullan in April 2011 snapped both lower bones in his right leg. (Here's video of that incident, for those of you with strong and empty stomachs.) More than a year of rehab to get the almost-amputated foot working again might have bred an intense desire for revenge in Zakuani's heart, and we wouldn't blame him.
So it figures that Zakuani would return to the pitch in a match against the Rapids, which is exactly what happened Saturday night in a 2-1 Sounders victory. The score, though, is much less memorable than Zakuani's return to a roaring Seattle crowd chanting his name—and the oh-god-you-might-start-crying meeting between Zakuani and Mullan after the final whistle, in which the pair embrace, swap jerseys, and hug each other again. What can you add to this? It's a great moment, and we're lucky to have the chance to see it. [NBC Sports Net]

Serena among first-round winners in Madrid
Madrid, Spain – Defending champion Serena Williams and fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska were among Sunday's first-round winners at the Madrid Open.
Williams recovered from a slow start to beat qualifier Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan by a 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 margin. The American defeated Victoria Azarenka in last year's Madrid finale.
Radwanska of Poland cruised past Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova, 6-2, 6-4, and American Madison Keys took down fifth-seeded Li Na of China by a 6-3, 6-2 margin.
There was two other upsets on Sunday. Kazakh Yaroslava Shvedova eased past Caroline Wozniacki, the No. 10 seed, by a 6-2, 6-4 margin and American Varvara Lepchenko outlasted 12th-seeded Italian Roberta Vinci 6-1, 1-6, 6-2.
Elsewhere, Venus Williams was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to a back injury. Stefanie Voegele entered the draw as a lucky loser before falling to Anabel Medina Garrigues by a 6-3, 6-3 margin.
Sixth-seeded Angelique Kerber beat Su-Wei Hsieh 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 and No. 8 seed Petra Kvitova outlasted Yanina Wickmayer 4-6, 7-5, 6-4.
Also posting first-round victories on Sunday were No. 11 seed Nadia Petrova, No. 13 seed Maria Kirilenko, No. 14 seed Marion Bartoli, No. 15 seed Dominika Cibulkova, No. 16 seed Ana Ivanovic, Chanelle Scheepers, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Kaia Kanepi, Sorana Cirstea, Ekaterina Makarova and Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor.

There are a number of reasons for this including those that ISO650 mentioned. If you have 4 adult teachers sharing a house and working together, then believe me, it really takes the pressure off. No bickering about whose turn it is to wash the dishes etc. They also don't go in much for washing machines here, so good luck getting up at four am to hand wash all your clothes. You get through a lot of them as it's so hot! Also, the school can make sure that the house is well maintained and not left to ruin by slobby teachers. Another reason is security. When all the teachers go off on holiday at the same time (as happens at our school) then there is someone in the house to make sure your stuff is safe. It is a part of the culture here to have "domestic help" even relatively poor people often have someone to help with the housework. Teachers here live fairly modestly compared with the insanely rich Chinese and Javanese who live with an army of maids, nannies, drivers and gardeners. The pembantus certainly DO NOT wait on you hand and foot. Well, unless you are a not very nice person and you force them to. Most teachers who live outside the school houses only employ someone to come in a few times a week. It is VERY weird at first to get used to these strange people in your house, but it certainly grows on you. I think that pembantus who work for teachers get a much better deal than those who work for some local families. Anyway, I'm not trying to start a debate here about the rights and wrongs. I have struggled with that myself for 3 years! It's just another part of life here that you either accept or move out and live on your own. Reserve your judgement for when you get here, then you can make a decision. One final thing. I work for Kelt and, now I think about it, we generally use the word "pembantu" or use their proper names to refer to them. Pembantu means "someone who helps" and doesn't have the same negative connotations as "servant". Why they use that on the ad, I don't know.

Most shocks will have settings that enable you to adjust how they perform, and getting these settings right can improve your speed and control.
Check the video below for BikeRadar's overview of how you can ensure your suspension setup is working for you, not against you. Written instructions are beneath as well.
Rear shock settings explained
There are three main controls you'll see on MTB suspension: preload, rebound, and compression. The latter is sometimes split into low- and high-speed compression on top-end shocks.
Preload is the resistance the fork gives against your weight. So the heavier you are, the more preload you're going to need. For a shock with a coil spring this would equate to having a heavier, or thicker spring but for an air shock it's simply a case of pumping in more pressure.
Compression damping
Compression damping comes from the internals of the shock and works by regulating the flow of oil through small holes. Compression damping only affects the shock when it's compressing – this doesn't affect the preload but can appear to have a similar effect on the rear suspension.
The more compression damping you dial in (+) the slower the fork will move through its travel. This is good if you want a bike to pedal without bobbing, but the negative effect will be the limitation of the suspension's movement when you hit a bump, making it feel a bit like it's locked out (see below). In fact, suspension lockout out is simply an extremely high amount of compression damping.
Rebound damping
Rebound damping is a similar internal system to compression and only affects the shock when it's returning to its natural position after an impact.
As you dial in more rebound damping (+) the fork will return to its natural position more slowly after an impact. A slower return – or more rebound compression – is required if the bike feels like it's trying to buck you off, especially after corners or when you land a jump, but if repeated hits are causing the suspension to feel like it's 'packing down' and not returning to it's natural position, you'll need less damping.
Your suspension might feature settings that are designed to give it different characteristics for different types of riding. Lockout is the most common and when activated will use the compression damping system to effectively stop the fork from working.
Lockout is useful when you encounter prolonged climbs or flatter sections where you want to put some power down through the pedals. CTD or climb, trail, descend is a slightly more advanced form of lock out, which gives a 'tune' that's better suited to the type of terrain you are riding on. CTD is a Fox-specific term, but other manufacturers have comparable systems.
Climb mode pretty much acts as a lock out, although typically will allow more movement; trail or ride mode is a slightly stiffened setting to allow movement, but with some resistance in order to give a good pedaling platform with a stiffer compression setting; while descent means the suspension is fully active and would offer little compression damping during use.
How to set up rear suspension
Before you start, make sure you have have your full riding kit to hand – you'll be setting the shock up to work based on your riding weight.
It's a good idea to get set up before you ride, but take a shock pump with you so you can make further adjustments on the trail.
1. Set preload
It's a good idea to have someone to help, but it's possible to set sag yourself by leaning against a wall or solid object.
Start by measuring the inner shock shaft – the shiny bit that moves inside the larger outer can. Divide that by four to get your 'sag' measurement.
For optimum performance you need 25 percent sag. However, some more aggressive shocks like those found on downhill bikes can be set with up to 30 percent.
Most shocks offer optimum performance with the sag set at 25 percent
Most shocks will have a small rubber ring or foam bump stopper to allow you to measure the amount of sag – if yours hasn't, you can tie a rubber band around it. Don't be tempted to use a cable tie and certainly don't leave it on the shaft; the dirt it collects combined with the hard plastic will scratch the surface, something that won't be cheap to remedy.
Set the compression damping switch to 'descend' or its open position, reset the sag ring, gently mount the bike (wearing your riding kit, or at least with it in your backpack) and assume the standing riding position. Try not to bounce the bike – you're looking for a standing weight.
Carefully dismount and check the sag distance – how far the small rubber ring has moved. If it's more or less than a quarter of the way down the shaft, you need to adjust the psi. For most riders using air shocks, 150 to 200 psi will give 25 percent sag, so if you have no idea what pressure to run then pump in or release air until the gauge shows 150psi. Then, add or subtract 25 to 50psi at a time until you arrive at 25 percent sag.
Start at 150psi and work up or down from there
For coil sprung shocks, you can make minor adjustments using the preload dial, but might need a heavier or lighter spring depending on your weight – these should be available from any good bike shop.
2. Set compression and rebound damping
Depending on your shock model, you'll have a CTD switch or a compression dial, as well as a rebound damping dial. If you have a CTD then just set it up according to your current terrain; if you have a dial then set it up in a similar way to your rebound damping, as follows:
Start by working out how many 'clicks' of range you have in the dial. To do this, wind the dial fully in clockwise, then wind it back out. As you wind it out, count the clicks.
If you aren't sure what you need, or have a new shock, you'd be well advised to set the dials to the middle of the range. You can then experiment by one or two clicks at a time, either way, until the desired setup is achieved.
It's quite rare that taking either compression or rebound to the extremes will have much benefit, so most riders will want to stay near the midpoint.
Remember different trails and terrain will have difference setup requirements, so it's a good idea to get a feel for what the dials are actually doing in terms of suspension action.

A good tail gunner is crucial when you have a group as big as ours. Inevitably somebody runs out of gas, spots a sign for free puppies, or has mechanical failure, and someone else needs to be there to help get him back in line and on his way. Clifton Slay is the king of tail gunners and one of the best rig wranglers in the business. The phrase "like herding cats" is often used, and sometimes he has to be the one to help round up the strays!

De Masseur (the masseur -it's dutch)
My name is Remon Stolk. I am 29 years old and have a background in psychology. Today, I own a 1-person massage therapy company.
I love contributing to the quality of people's lives by offering them massages. I always take my time for my clients, it's never a rush job. They always get the best. I put a lot of effort in finding the perfect treatment for someone. My practice is at my home, it's pretty intimate (candles, paintings, a lot of space, soft music) - yet classy, modern, hygienic and professional. I would describe myself as open, sensitive, caring - yet solid and professional.
My massages are for everyone. My preferred customers however are customers that visit regularly. I enjoy building a long-term relationship with them. Most of my customers are middle-aged mid/upper class women who are drawn to things like: 'self-realization', 'new-age', 'living in the moment', 'taking care of yourself', 'being all you can be', and the like. Apart from that I also treat people with light physical complaints (muscle-ache, knots, tension).
Dear designer,
I want a logo that shows what I stand for. It's all about finding the right balance between showing the soft and caring side of me, as well as the professional. I don't want to come across as flaky, but it's o.k. to show a little love.
Perhaps ZEN-style would suit (no buddha's, ying-yang's or the like please). Still the style of it appeals to me: SIMPLE, CLEAR, INSPIRED. Ideally looking at the logo would give me a sense of peace and joy. Not too many colors or shapes. Abstract could work well.
If you get inspired and you have a totally different idea based on my story - go for it! I am open to anything.
Good luck to you!
All the best,

I liked this book a lot because it is about hamsters. Katie turns into a hamster by accidently wishing on a shooting star. I think it is very interesting because Katie turns into a hamster and you don't know what might happen next. I think Katie is very interesting in this book because she says hamsters don't have bad days. Every day is just the same for them. Katie turns into a hamster because of that and now George can't bother her.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever had to deal with a bully. When George got scared of the hamster in the classroom, he jumped on the teacher's desk. George was embarrassed that all the kids in his class saw him scream over a hamster. That hamster was really Katie. I like the way Katie helped George realize that making fun of others and embarrassing them is not a good thing to do.

Peter Sisson, founder and CEO of Toktumi talks Line2, their premium, business-optimized calling solution for the iPhone and iPad (with optimized iPad UI coming soon). While many forms of communications have leapt forward in the digital age, our telcos have been content to keep telephony in the relative dark ages. Line2 is one of several services hoping to pull them kicking and screaming forward, with both cell and VoIP based solutions.
Currently you can conference call over VoIP -- which is really nice on an iPad -- with full call waiting and real SMS functionality. With iOS 4 VoIP will work in the background meaning apps like Line2 could just be first-class telephone solutions (and strangely carriers don't seem to be as afraid of this as they used to be).
Line2 competes with free-as-in-Google voice by offering a more user-centric app, with lots of features and a focus on customer care. They're US/Canada only at the moment but will be expanding into the top 7 international iPhone markets soon and especially for business users, they think their offer will be compelling. (Enough that Peter suggests a MiFi rather than device data plan might just be the way to go forward...)

On March 14, hundreds of jeering municipal union members armed with whistles drowned out Mayor Nutter's annual budget address in City Council chambers. The session had to be adjourned, and the Mayor finished his speech elsewhere.
The protesters carried placards depicting Nutter as Bozo the Clown, and outside a flatbed truck carrying a giant inflatable rat circled the building. Afterwards, a union strategist said that the protesters were pleased with the results.
"We had hoped to get arrested," he said, "but we still shook the place up pretty good. Those City Council people were hopping out of there like rats off a sinking ship. And speaking of rats, our rat, 'Scabby,' looked very impressive out there circling City Hall. Little children were crying. As for the Bozo posters, we considered a number of different clowns, but we decided that Bozo was the best choice. Thanks to the guys in the print shop for designing that great graphic."
When I went to the Mayor's office for comment, I was referred to The Department of Retribution, where I met with the Assistant Deputy Director of Revenge, Mal Evolent. "Oh, it ain't over. Not by a long shot," he said. "It's not even about the issues anymore; it's about one-upmanship, and we plan to disrupt every union meeting within a 10-mile radius for the next four years. And we may even decide to arrest the goons who caused $500,000 in damage to the new Chestnut Hill Quaker Meetinghouse.
"I don't know where they got those lame Bozo placards, but I've seen better caricatures done by 3-year-olds. For our part, we commissioned one of Philadelphia's premiere portrait artists to create a 30-foot-high oil painting of District Council 33 President Peter Matthews as an evil clown with big, sharp teeth. We'll be towing that up and down the Delaware River on a barge throughout the summer. The Mayor himself will be piloting the tugboat.
"We've also hired Chinese engineers to build us a mammoth, rat-shaped blimp which we will fly over union demonstrations, with Mayor Nutter blasting his rendition of 'Union Goons' through a loudspeaker. I think we've outdone the unions at their own game. It's only a matter of time now until they all give up and agree to work for peanuts — literally.
"And as you know, the Mayor has asked the city's alleged Human Rights Commission to look into this month's Philadelphia Magazine cover article about white working class people saying bad things about low-income blacks who live nearby. In the name of political correctness, we may have to suspend the First Amendment rights of those nasty white people who do not express opinions we have pre-approved. Same thing with the union goons."
Lost in all this political jousting, though, is the emotional pain and embarrassment caused to those whose public images and reputations have been unfairly maligned in the process. I am speaking, of course, about clowns and rats.
I reached Bozo the Clown by phone at his ranch in Texas and asked him what he thought about all the negativity associated with his name. "It's troubling," he said. "You know how whenever folks want to portray someone as evil, they depict him as Hitler? Well it's kind of like that with me, too. I've become the poster boy for stupid."
"I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm not the original Bozo. I'm third generation, you know, like all those canine actors who played Lassie. Everyone thought they were all the same dog. Anyway, my grandfather, Bozo the First, would roll over in his tiny clown-coffin if he could see how his legacy has been perverted. He was a good man. He performed for our troops in the Pacific Theater in World War II."
"I have an advanced degree in clown sciences. My granddad never made it past first grade, but he taught me how to make my own exploding shoes and take a pie in the face without flinching. I can't tell you how hard it is to get those exploding shoes through airport security, but I continue to try because I'm preserving my clown heritage. Please tell that to your readers."
To get a rat-perspective on things, I called the cigar smoking, wisecracking rodent, Chuck E. Cheese. I asked him what he thought about unions using the rat as a symbol of sleaze. "Hey," he bellowed, "how many Philly union workers does it take to screw in a light bulb? One to screw in the bulb, two to hold the ladder and 30 to stand around doing nothing! But seriously, folks, rats get a bad rap. Look at me. I'm a rat. I've been working in the food industry for 30 years, and I've never had a complaint or a health citation. Plus, I have to perform at parties for screaming 4-year-olds all the time, and I've never lost my cool. Anyone who says that rats are dirty or untrustworthy is a real Bozo."

Sometimes we do our best thinking under pressure. We were in the process of creating a foam core for our corporate sponsors to proudly display at the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas, and we were under the gun to articulate clearly and succinctly exactly what we are all about.
The "Mission Statement" part was easy, and we even managed to make it tighter:
Our Mission:
To Give Breastfeeding a Makeover,
and to Beat the Booby Traps™–
the Barriers to Breastfeeding Success.
But wait, what about our values, and how we feel about expecting and new mothers? We are two moms who struggled with breastfeeding (unnecessarily, because of the booby traps), and one of us used formula. In forming Best for Babes, we spoke to hundreds of women, and listened to their stories. Because of what you told us, one of our primary objectives with Best for Babes is to act as a catalyst in the breastfeeding and mainstream media community, and shift the focus OFF moms and on to the barriers that are keeping them from making educated decisions. Moms don't need to be harassed or made to feel bad! We know moms who were made to feel bad for breastfeeding (or for breastfeeding in public), and we know moms who were made to feel bad for feeding formula. We know moms who were made to feel bad for going back to work, for not going back to work, or for using pumps and bottles. (That last one is rather silly, isn't it? As our beloved Dr. Ruth Lawrence likes to say, "what are moms who can't breastfeed or have to pump supposed to use to feed their babies, their shoe?) The bottom line is that women are more prone to feeling guilty than men, and they don't need help piling it on. So we were really eager to find a way to make mothers feel GOOD—feel inspired, prepared and empowered—and express our support for all moms, because motherhood is not easy! We wanted a really strong statement of our beliefs, that would influence and carry us through all our decisions with Best for Babes, and let everyone know where we stand. So here it is:
Our Credo:
ALL moms deserve to make a truly informed feeding decision and to be cheered on, coached and celebrated without pressure, judgment or guilt.
ALL breastfeeding moms deserve to achieve their personal breastfeeding goals without being undermined by cultural & institutional "Booby Traps ".
In even plainer english, that means that if you have done evidence-based research, weighed your options, and hopefully understand how you are being influenced by marketing and cultural norms, and you decide not to breastfeed, we support you whole-heartedly. We will defend your decision and will point you in the direction of resources to support you.
It also means that if you do decide to breastfeed, and you have set a goal based on doing the same evidence-based research, as well as understanding how your decision is influenced by marketing and cultural norms, we will support you to achieve that goal, no matter if it is to breastfeed for two days, two weeks, two months, two years or beyond. We will defend your decision and help to fight the cultural barriers (disapproval, etc.) and the institutional barriers (hospitals, physicians, employers, insurers, stores, restaurants and companies that give lip service to supporting breastfeeding but are undermining or discriminating against breastfeeding mothers).
If you haven't done your research, or looked into how your decision is being influenced by our culture and institutions, we may give you a gentle nudge, like any good girlfriend or even a coach would do. Women who make a truly informed decision tend to feel positive and not guilty, and we want to empower all moms to step into motherhood feeling confident and good about their decisions! We respect YOU!
Truthfully, we are excited about our mission, and our Credo, because it is quite unique in the breastfeeding community. We may get some flack for saying this, but we hope that more breastfeeding organizations and activists will do a little less "promoting, protecting and supporting" of breastfeeding and a lot more "promoting, protecting and supporting" of moms. Perhaps the "promote, protect, support breastfeeding" slogan was necessary in the past, but with evidence in favor of breastfeeding constantly pouring in, it is time to shift gear and change the message! Most moms—77%—already want to breastfeed. When we lead by example, give expecting and new moms the love, acceptance, compassion they need to be empowered, and break down the cultural and institutional barriers, we are confident that more moms will make healthy decisions and be better equipped to the best parents they can be. None of us is perfect, we are all on this motherhood/parenthood journey together, and we need each other more than ever!
Finally, thank you for telling us what you wanted in a breastfeeding non-profit. We hope we've shown you that we listened. You have trusted us to lead the way, and we hope you are happy with our credo, and will make it your credo, too!
(I can't figure out how to slap a pdf file into this post, but once I do, you'll be able to see the beautiful foam core that our corporate sponsors displayed. Special thanks to Earth Mama Angel Baby for donating the graphics and printing, and lugging the signs to the Expo in their suitcases!)

Marc Bolan's career was in decline by the time he appeared on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. His singles were failing to chart back in Britain, the original T.Rex line-up had split after the departure of Bill Legend, and Bolan was no longer working with his key producer Tony Visconti. There were also rumors of Bolan living an out-of-control, tax exile, lifestyle of cocaine and brandy, and his once svelte, androgynous frame, had ballooned into a debauched cherub.
The fans had changed too. A new generation had sworn allegiance to the tartan-trewed Bay City Rollers, rather than fantasies of Glam. This then was the background against which Bolan was first introduced to the American public on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, in 1974.
In a new line-up that included Bolan's girlfriend Gloria Jones on keyboards and backing vocals, T.Rex kicked ass (even Bolan's voice was occasionally flat) as they played "Jeepster", "Zip Gun Boogie", "Token of My Love" and "Get It On (Bang A Gong)" to an audience that seemed both literally stunned and amazed.

A blog about blogging? Shine a light!
Today is Twitter's 5th birthday. How time flies and never more so than in the increasingly digital world of 24-hour, rolling status updates, constant link-sharing and network-building we live in.
Take blogs. I can remember a not too distant past when bloggers were regarded as quite a strange, far-removed species of geeks, who were never happier than when they were pale-faced and glued to their keyboards. Most bloggers then tended to be writers, tech-heads or both rolled into one.
Quite a few people predicted at the time, that the popularity and, up to then, increasing numbers of blogs would be on the wane – indeed that blogging was slowly dying off.
I must admit I haven't looked into the facts and figures to back up whether this prediction has turned out to be right, but from where I'm sitting blogging is very much alive and well – with everyone who's online either posting merrily away or seriously considering launching themselves (or their business) into the blogorati.
Why is this? In a nutshell, professional blogging as an idea has broken through the 'geek' barrier and gone mainstream. More and more companies are starting to recognise that if they provide blog posts with valuable and/or engaging content, what they're effectively doing is breathing new life into their business, brand, and website SEO (Google loves blogs!) without shoving any hard-sell marketing message down the throats of their audience.
For me, my blog lies somewhere between the polar opposites of the entirely professional and the bearing-my-soul personal platforms. Not only do I think this space is a great place to not only share some of my ideas/musings, provide updates on my work and other snippets I hope you, dear readers, find interesting, but I also see it as the perfect vehicle to showcase fantastic events, organisations and businesses I come across in my professional and personal comings and goings.
So with this in mind, ladies and gents, drum roll please as I proudly present….
the stellamedia spotlight – a brand new regular section of my blog, which I'm already thinking of as my own bespoke and inspirational 'feel good' newspaper. If you want to be featured or know someone who might, just drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Watch this space for the first business 'star' I'll be highlighting soon….
Happy Blogging!

A winner was selected from 66 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
SPROOKi is a location-based deals service targeting shoppers in high-density malls in South-East Asia. Shoppers who have downloaded the SPROOKi application on the smart phone (iPhone, Android, Blackberry) will receive deal alerts once they are in the vicinity of participating malls and retailers. Upon accepting a deal through the SPROOki application, shoppers are able to transact (make payment) and redeem directly at the retailer. Examples of typical retailers are clothing & apparel, chemists & cosmetics, department stores, restaurants & bars, books, electronics & IT and some services (hair, beauty, movies etc..) The purpose and midst of the shopper is "enjoyment" as opposed to something akin to grocery shopping ("a chore").
Users' experience of the service is predominantly through mobile interface (smartphone) and online. Therefore should be able to scale.
Demographics are likely to be 18-45, skewed female. Shopping is their pastime and they visit malls several times a week if not daily.
The name "SPROOKi" is derived from the word "to spruik" . AN Australian verb meaning to promote goods, services, or a cause by addressing people in a public place ( humorous ).
Some visual ideas would be to incorporate symbols along the lines of mapping/ location based icons and "radar / waves".

Stirling Barker
I am a young man who developed a love for craft beer and all-grain brewing whilst traveling through the United States in 2008. Since my trip I have been brewing constantly and experimenting with recipes. I will be contract brewing the beer to begin with because of a lack of funds but have a goal in the near future to move into my own brewery. Stirling Barker will brew full bodied, flavorsome, ales and lagers. Everything from generously hopped Indian Pale Ales (IPA's) to well balanced high alcohol barley wines and silky smooth winter warming stouts.
These are beers for people who really appreciate good brews. Beers for the connoisseur. This ranges from executives to trade workers to the kid who has just turned 18. Despite occupation the majority of craft beer drinkers tend to be down to earth people. I want Stirling Barker to be a brand these people can develop a connection with.
There are 3 television towers that are widely visible in the surrounding area. I had an idea to somehow incorporate these into the logo. Possibly in the background. If you think you can make a better looking logo without the towers I would love to see it. I will choose the best looking design, whether the towers are in it or not. The towers can be viewed at.
or in the attached files.
I want the lettering to be bold (slightly worn) to read 'Stirling Barker' and have 'Brewing Company' in smaller font. I think earthy colours would work best in the logo like browns, greens and blues etc but please don't limit yourself to these.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
The files that we require are:
A CMYK image in PDF, SVG and AI format.

This scene depict many faces in the smoke when the prisioner recites a false poetry that makes him abandon their goddess, called "Mardabil Maneuver". The Mirage Fullsize for more details (1000 X 1286) here: http://images.deuxillustration.com/cdq/mirage/Mirage_full.jpg This work was commissioned by an model. She wanted an representation of your own strenght. It was her idea, make four representarions of herself. To me, was very fun to make this work, study all scene. The women of this picture don't look like same. It's hard to do the same face in different positions without reference. I hope you like!

Hand-Carved Stirring Spoon
Emily Brock is a third generation woodworker learning her craft from her father who is a sculptural furniture artist. He learned from his grandfather who was a wooden staircase maker. Based in Nashville, Emily uses local Tennessee hardwoods like black walnut and curly maple for lasting durability. In the past, woodworking was a hobby for Emily, as she was working as a chef and baker so she understands the ergonomic importance of cooks tools and aims to make heirloom and lasting wooden tools that are sculptural and durable, but that also encourage slowing down while cooking and enjoying each step in the creation of a meal.
The most beautiful, extraordinary, and graceful (but hard working) stirring spoon for cooking. Perfect for stews, soups, sauces and even as a spatula when stir frying.
Spoons are large and range from 12" long to 15" long
Consider pairing the spoon with this lovely spoon rest.

Baabals Ice Cream and Coffee Shoppe was the site of Mountain Credit Union's first ever "cash mob" on Friday.
Cash mobs, which are campaigns to support local businesses by buying their products and services, continue to grow in popularity.
The $152 million Mountain CU in Waynesville, N.C., said it was inspired by state leagues, credit unions and CUSOs that have participated in similar events nationwide.
The cooperative started creating buzz for its cash mob with a "Featured Business of the Month" highlight on its Facebook page.
"We wanted to show how much Mountain Credit Union supports small, family owned local businesses in our area who also support the credit union philosophy of 'people helping people,'" said Chris Angel, business development director at the credit union.
The Fletcher, N.C.-based Baabals was an obvious choice for Mountain CU's first attempt with a cash mob because of its dedication to the local community and its social media presence, which helped the credit union get the word out about the event, Angel added.
"We really appreciate the extra buzz and publicity that this event gave our business," said Roy Dickerson, owner of Baabals. "Our normal Friday business was doubled and we saw a lot of new folks who hadn't been in to our shop before. So overall, we think it was a great success."
Baabals is a family owned and operated business that features premium ice creams, coffees, and homemade desserts, according to Mountain CU. The shop also has board games, outdoor games and Wi-Fi availability.
Mountain CU said plans are already under way to choose another local business for its featured business of the month and cash mob for May.

Here are some of mine, from various episodes throughout the series:
(Rose and Blanche are returning from their SOUND OF MUSIC dress rehearsal wearing nun costumes and carrying their clothing when they meet Sophia's brother Angelo, then masquerading as a priest)
Blanche: "We're here, collecting... lingerie, for needy sexy people!"
Rose: Here you are Sophia, the perfect after dinner treat, a nice dish of Jell-O.
Sophia: I hate Jell-O. If God wanted peaches suspended in mid-air He would have filled them with helium! Beat it Rose, I'm busy.
Rose: What are you doing?
Sophia: It's Tuesday night; I'm cleaning out my purse.
Rose: Did all that stuff come out of your purse?
Sophia: No Rose, I'm also cleaning out my ears. That's where the Feen-A-Mint and the rain bonnet came from.
Rose: Sophia why are you in such a bad mood?
Sophia: Forgive me Rose, but I haven't had sex in 13 years and it's starting to get on my nerves!

Here are some more (had to be off the computer for a bit):
Sophia: Ribs, great, why don't you just KICK the dentures out of my mouth?
Dorothy: You know Blanche is taking this well. I would KILL Gloria if she ever wrote about MY sexual escapades.
Sophia: You'd kill your sister over a pamphlet?
Blanche: You know what I hate most after a party?
Rose: Trying to find your underwear in the big pile?
(the girls are attending a gallery presentation of artist Jasper DeKimmel and discover the painting they are looking at is actually hung upside down)
Rose: Oh, then those aren't noses.
(upon discovering their mistake and looking again) Dorothy: WHOA!!!
(Rose tries to tell Dorothy a story about how she won tickets to the Frank Sinatra concert while listening to her car radio)
Blanche: No, no, I don't want to go through that again. She was driving down Biscayne Boulevard, big-band not all-talk, there was a contest, something about a little voice, a lucky number and a dime and a door handle, then bing-bang-boom, she won the tickets!
Dorothy: Take a lesson, Rose; THAT'S how you tell a story!

Rose: "Sophia you said 'holding a grudge' twice." Sophia: "Heyyyy if you're good at something you brag about it."
Blanche: "Well pardon me Dorothy, but......we can't all come from places as socially acceptable as socially acceptable as Brooklyn."
Dorothy: "....family members shouldn't allow themselves to grow apart."

Another one:
After the girls get arrested for prostitution and Sophia comes to bail them out - (and I probably don't have this word for word)
Sophia:I can't believe it!
Dorothy: Ma, we're innocent!
Sophia:I know that, I can't believe these dumb cops would think that someone would pay money to sleep with the 3 of you!
Another one - again, I probably don't have it word for word
When Blanche gives the girls a calendar called "The Men of Blanche's Boudoir", naked pictures of men who have brought Blanche some sort of pleasure. Dorothy sees the guy on September(or whatever month it was) and says "Whoa!". Blanche says "September?" and Dorothy says "Yep". Then Sophia says "I'm surprised you were able to walk in October!"
Rest in Peace to my Penny-pie. You really were a GREAT dog. I'll see you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Here are 10 fav. moments:
1. Rose bakes some sort of Scandanavian concoction and Dorothy sarcastically compliments her…
Rose: "But, I'm not one to blow my own vateugenfleugen."
Sophia: "I can't even reach mine."
2. Blanche rehearsing the "Our Town" play with the actor who sleeps with all of them. Blanche is wearing an inflatable bra that looks preposterouslyfake...
Actor: "The sun is setting mighty low on the horizon, isn't it Busty, I mean, Bessy."
Blanche: "It sure is, Biff." (I say, "It sure is, Biff", in Blanche's southern accent, all the time!)
Blanche: "I want you to, take me, Biff!" Blanche goes to embrace the actor and her bra deflates. She holds her boobs in her hand.
Actor: "Dear God, I've punctured your bosoms."
3. I know this has been mentioned before, but it's so classic…Sophia and Blanche are dating the same old guy and are trying to out-insult each other…
Blanche: "I'm going to draw a bath with just enough water to barely cover my perky bosoms."
Sophia: "You're only gonna sit in an inch of water?"'
Blanche: "That does it, that does it!"
I believe Dorothy and Rose then proceed to hold Blanche and Sophia away from each other.
4. Stan sleeps over and tries to get into bed with Dorothy. Dorothy kicks him onto the ground.
Stan: "Where am I supposed to sleep?"
Dorothy: "On the ground like any dog."
Stan. "Fine, fine. Usually women beg to get into bed with me."
Do: "Right after they get the approval number on your MasterCard."
Stan then starts to giggle to himself.
Do: "Stan, if you're doing what I think you're doing, you're in big trouble."
5. Doro thinks Blanche is sleeping with Stan and goes to Stan's hotel room to confront them. She sees Stan in bed with a person under the covers.
Dorothy: "You'd think you'd have enough respect for our friendship to tell me that you're sleeping with my husband."
The person comes out from under the covers and it's this young, blond chick.
Chick: "Well I would have, but I didn't know this was gonna happen until a couple minutes ago. Ha, ha, ha, ha (silly, high pitched giggle)."
Dorothy gives her the classic look of death
6. The eppy where the girls have the same dress.
Sophia: "Dorothy, jealousy is an ugly thing. And so are you in anything backless."
7. Not sure what eppy this is:
Blanche: "I'm as jumpy as a virgin at a prison rodeo."
Dorothy: "That's pretty jumpy."
8. Episode where the girls are arrested for prostitution and are in lockup. Classic eppy.
Blanche, to the other hookers: "Quiet, you trash!" (To this day trash is my favourite word. I call everyone trash).
A tall, black woman with feather earrings drops from the top bunk and walks over.
Blanche: "Ooh, what cute earrings!"
Dorothy proceeds to rescue Blanche and then says something along the lines of doing time in Attica.
Hooker: "Attica's a men's prison."
Doro: "Exactly. I was there a year before they found out."
Hooker: "Sorry chief, didn't mean to ruffle your feathers."
9. The girls talking about their first time...
Blanche: "I remember it like it was yesterday. Right under the magnolia tree and me with Billy. Or was it Bobby. Yeah, yeah it was Bobby. Or was it Ben. Oh well, it started with a B."
Rose : "Girls, that first time, did you…have…."
Blanche: "Are you serious?"
Rose nods.
Blanche : "Why many times, many, many times. Why, didn't you?"
Rose : "No. I mean, it was nice, being close to Charlie and all. But it was five years 'til I realized what makes your eyes go back in your head! Dorothy, did you…."
Doro: 'How could I? It always seemed to happen before I was in the room."
10. Sophia makes up a song!
Sophia: "Thanks for the Medicare! For Blue Cross and Blue Shield. For the hip that finally healed. Remember with prescriptions, generic is a steal. We thank you, soooo much. Well, well, don't hold back, I can take the criticism."
Dorothy: "Awful."
Blanche: "Depressing."
Rose: "Stinky."
Sophia. "Go to hell, all of ya!"

(The four roommates and Angela, Sophia's sister, are in Sophia's room.)
Sophia (to Angela): "...you're nothin' but a backstabbing Judas in sensible shoes." Angela: "Oh yeahhhh you know what you are? You're a two-lira tramp with cheap bridgework."
Sophia: "May you put your dentures in upside down and chew your head off."
Angela: "May your legs grow old and gnarled and withered like an olive branch. (looks down at Sophia's legs.) A. cont'd: "They should be so lucky."
Sophia: "May your moles grow hair thicker than Jerry Vale's." Angela: "May your marinara sauce never!! cling to your pasta."
(Angela exits as Sophia makes a noise and puts a fist to her mouth.) Sophia: "That's it. Come back and say that to my face."

3. [Blanche is about to go on a date with Mel Bushman.]
Dorothy: Why are you so nervous? You've been out with Mel before!
Blanche: But there's more at stake!......In many ways I feel as if I was a
Sophia: You mean the feeling isn't gonna last long!
Blanche: Are you implying I lost my virginity at an early age?
Sophia: I'm just saying you're lucky "Jack N Jill" magazine didn't have a gossip column.
Dorothy: Ma!
Blanche: I'm sorry Sophia! I won't let your sceptism ruining my evening. Mel and I were meant to be together.
Sophia: I wish I could say the same for your thighs!
Blanche: I'm not going to stand for this!
Sophia: Take her Dorothy!
Dorothy: But I'll bet you'll lay down for it.
Sophia: Well that was just plain rude!
Blanche: Some people just don't know when to quit!
Blanche: When Mel and I are together,...we laugh a lot!
Sophia: Why wouldn't you? You're both naked!
Sophia: I can't believe Blanche is dating that someone long in the tooth.
Rose: I thought his teeth were fine. What I couldn't believe was how old he was.
Dorothy: Sometimes I can't believe my ears.
Sophia: I know! I should've taped them back when you were 7!
Blanche: My my! I do believe we have company! I'm just embarrassed to be seen in this old thing!
Sophia: Don't worry Blanche! The dress covers most of it!
Rose: Father! There's always one thing that's puzzled me! Why didn't Mary and Joseph make reservations?
Rose: You can trace everyone from St Olaf back to the same brother and sister.
Dorothy: Well I think that completes the puzzle!
Blanche: Oh Rose! Can't you put yourself in my position?
Rose: Apparently I'm not limbre enough!
Blanche: I have never had to pay for a sperm donor!
Dorothy: [To doctor] She's always depended on the kindness of strangers!

You don't have to go far to see work from Mike Lee, in fact there's a decent chance you've got some of his work already on your devices. Mike (or as he likes to call himself, 'the world's toughest programmer') has been involved with the development of Delicious Library, the official Obama '08 application and even the Apple mobile store app.
This man knows his software and rather than continuing along this very successful path, he decided it was time to give back to the developer community and he created Appsterdam – a community built for creating applications. Read on to see Mike's story and how it all started for him.

Grizzly is the oldest of the brothers. Although he is charismatic, jovial and a highly motivated leader, Grizz is not the brightest bear in the bunch. He may have eaten paint chips as a cub, nobody's quite sure. But what he lacks in common sense he makes up for with pure energy and excitement.
Panda is the middle child and very opposite from his brothers. Where they love to dance, Panda stands against the wall. Where they love to eat meat, Panda is a vegetarian. Panda is a willing participant in most of Grizzly's ideas, even if he is slightly smarter.
The youngest in a family of three brothers, Ice can often be found lingering in the back, not saying a word. But although he may be a bear of few words, do not underestimate him. Skilled in many unknown talents, Ice is a hidden savant and handles all the dirty work of the bears.
"Awwwww, so cute" is what you might squeal while watching the newest YouTube video of Nom-Nom, just about the cutest Koala Bear you have ever seen. A YouTube celebrity of the highest order, his videos go viral immediately.
Charlie, in a word, is Bigfoot. He may be the most elusive and mysterious creature in America, but for the Bears, he's just a talkative, slightly annoying neighbour who frequently intrudes and doesn't know when to leave. Plus, Charlie drinks all their soda and raids the fridge.
Chloe is a true child prodigy. At twelve, she is a freshman in a prestigious college. She is the top in her class, even in multivariable calculus while still in grade school. But her scholarly interests lie specifically in Biology and Zoology.
Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear are three brothers trying to fit in and make friends... which can be kind of hard to do when you are a bear. Grizzly is the oldest bear, and leads his brothers with bounds of optimism... which only turn out disastrous some of the time. Panda, the middle child, is a hopeless romantic. Ice Bear is the youngest brother with a wild card personality.

Greetings Blender Community,
I work for a university in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (USA) and have been a follower of Blender for the past year or so.
I'm reaching out to the community because our university holds an annual summer academy for highschool students to learn about making games and this year we are using Blender. We used Blender last year but it was only for modeling and nothing was ever used for their final games. This year Blender will encompass all of the development tools and we're very excited to provide such a powerful, community driven tool. We also understand, however, that it's a bit overwhelming for first time users.
The goal of the camp is to introduce students to the fundamentals of good game design practices while introducing them to tools that can help them develop their skills well after they've left the camp. It is 3 weeks long and is essentially broken up into two sections; solo training and collaborative training.
The solo training is where all of the artists learn about traditional art skills and transferring them to the digital; programmers learn the concepts of Python and efficient coding; designers/storytellers are introduced to effective ways to engage their audience.
The collaborative training is when they are put into small development teams and tasked with making a prototype of a game by the end of their time at the academy. I stress prototype because they more than likely will not have the skill set or the time to create what the general population of gamers would consider a finished game.
Because of that, I have a few questions for the community.
1) Currently my team has been preparing our curriculum using 2.49b. Our preparations are mainly for modeling, materials, and the game engine. I've played around with 2.5 but I understand that it is not a complete version and wanted to know if anybody feels that it would be best for us to allow them to use the latest build or if it would be safer to have them use 2.49b.
2) For the artists; since it is a 3 week long course and a huge focus for them will be traditional art skills, we were looking to have them learn how to model and use materials to texture objects for the digital aspect. Do any of you feel it would be more beneficial to them to learn how to UVmap, 3DPaint, or multires sculpt?
3) For the Game Engine, I know that there are a good variety of Logic Blocks to customize in game actions. I'm curious how any of you feel about stressing Python over Logic Blocks or vice versa? Our main idea was to have a good understanding of how to accomplish a wide variety of actions through Logic Blocks as well as Python, but with a short amount of time we're wondering if Logic Blocks should be the main focus with Python complementing them or if Python really should be the focus for aspiring game programmers.
4) Finally, for anyone out there who has used Blender and/or has taught Blender for similar purposes, are there any particular ways you would recommend introducing highschool students to Blender and Python over a 3 week timeline?
