Comedy Central is bringing back the popular TV show for its third season in the coming year.
Co-creators and stars Blake Anderson, Adam Devine, Anders Holm, and Kyle Newacheck are all slated to return, keeping the cast the same. The show itself is, if you can't tell by the picture, about a bunch of slackers fresh out of college who don't take their jobs seriously. They work together, live together, and cause all sorts of trouble together from the workplace to the Renaissance Festival.
Antics include a bear suit, a children's playground, and lots of drinking.
My manager would have killed me by now.

MacGregor Point offers well separated and private campsites in three campgrounds. All sites are treed, generous and have a level surface. Several campsites are designed for use by persons with disabilities. Radio-free camping is offered in sections of Huron Campground.
Reservations can be made year-round online or by phone.
MacGregor Point also offers camping in 16 yurts. A yurt is a semi-permanent vinyl-covered structure that is 16 feet in diameter, mounted on a wooden deck about two feet off the ground. Yurts can accommodate up to six people. They have two sets of bunk beds, a table and chairs for six, electric or propane heat and electric lighting, and a propane barbecue outdoors. A dining shelter is located on the site. The yurts are open year round and reservations are recommended. Pets are not permitted.
Electric Sites
The large private electrical sites may mean that you need to bring an extra long extension cord to reach the electrical outlet.
There are two group camping sites that accommodate 9-36 people. Sites have water taps and outhouses on site. Comfort stations and the beach would require transportation. One of the two sites has trailer access but does not have electrical service. Reservations can be made online or by phone.
Sections of Huron Campground are a radio-free zone.
We are pleased to bring you the details for the On-site Winter Storage/ Camping Program for 2018/2019. This program is unique to MacGregor Point Provincial Park. It provides campers the opportunity to camp with their trailer without having to move it during the winter season.
Program Dates: November 1st, 2018 to April 14th, 2019
There will be 39 sites available for booking in two different loops of Algonquin Campground. There will be 25 electrical sites in Birch Boulevard; this loop has the heated comfort station with bathrooms and showers. There will be 14 electrical sites available in Ash Woods; the comfort station in this loop will not be open as it is not winterized to withstand freezing temperatures. A vault privy will be available without running water; showers, bathrooms and drinking water are available in the Birch Boulevard loop.
The site numbers available in Birch Boulevard are 44, 45, 47, 49, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 58, 59, 61, 71, 73, 75, 78, 79, 82, 83, 86, 88, 89, and 91. There is also one double site available, sites 84/85, for parties wishing to camp side by side.
The site numbers available in Ash Woods are 1, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 42.
The trailer storage fee for the On-Site Winter Storage/Camping Program is a $150.00. This fee allows the participant to keep their trailer on a specific site from Nov 1st 2018 to April 14th, 2019. This storage fee is due at the time of booking and is non-refundable. It does not include storage in the trailer storage compound prior to the program start or after the program end.
A minimum commitment of 20 nights is also required to be part of the On-Site Winter Storage Program. The 20 night minimum can be paid up front at the time of booking, or can be paid in 2 instalments of 10 nights on or before July 31, 2018 and 10 nights on or before October 1st, 2018. Full payment of the 20 night minimum must be paid by Oct 1st, 2018.
The fees for 2018/19 will be:
On Site Storage Fee = $150.00 (non-refundable) due at time of booking
|20 Night Minimum Commitment
(HST Included)
|= 20 x $41.53 = $830.60 regular rate
|= 20 x $33.22 = $664.40 senior rate *
|= 20 x $20.77 = $415.40 disabled rate **
* Reduced camping rates apply to Ontario senior citizens over the age of 65 and their spouse who may be any age and persons in the same party who occupy the campsite.
** Reduced camping rates apply to Ontario disabled persons and all others on the same campsite regardless of age. At the time of campsite registration, the person whose valid Accessible Parking Permit or CNIB Card is being used for the disability rate must be present.
If a Winter Program site is being shared, and discounted rates apply to only some parties, persons who are not eligible for the discount must pay the full rate or the difference between the prepaid discounted rate and regular rate.
If a camper does not stay 20 nights, this fee will not be refunded. If a camper stays more than 20 nights, the appropriate camping fee will be charged on a per night basis. Additional vehicles fees will apply if you have more than one vehicle in the park.
There will be an additional fee of $5.00 per day for leaving trailers connected to the electrical pedestal during time periods when campers are not on-site. This is the difference between an electrical and non-electrical site and is to cover electricity used if the trailer is connected. Please ensure that you disconnect your electrical cord from the pedestal prior to leaving if you do not wish to pay this fee.
Reservations will be taken 5 months in advance of the program start date, beginning on June 1st, 2018 at 7:00 pm EST. Reservations can be made by calling Janice Pearce at 519-389-6237.

The SFJHS Girls Basketball team took on rival Diamond Fork Jr. last week in a heated competition.
The game started slowly with the Lady Lobos scoring in the single digits during the first quarter. Diamond Fork was a persistent competitor, shadowing the Lobos point for point, never far behind.
However, after halftime, the Ladies came out with a vengeance, ready to play. They were easily able to defeat Diamond Fork's press getting easy breakaway baskets and multiple second shot points. They were not about to let the Diamond Backs win on their home court.
According to Coach Shea Harmer, "Spanish Fork finally put the things they had been working on in practice, into place and almost like magic; they were able to get a large lead on DFJHS."
In the end, our Lady Lobos won by close to 20 points. Macie Clark was our leading scorer.
Come support your Lady Lobos as they finish out the second half of their season.

Erik Dale is a quiet guy by day. He's admittedly shy, and has literally made a career out of staying behind the scenes. As the Historic Holmes Theatre's new Event and Local Productions Manager, Dale takes care of the offstage prepwork involved with events at the theatre, completely avoiding the spotlight himself.
But that all changes at night. Dale becomes a different guy, both in name and nature, when he hits the club and takes over the stage under his DJ name, Wissota. He starts playing his unique brand of pulsating electronic dance music and Things. Get. Loud. His shows are high energy, with lots of lighting, visuals, sound and dancing.
"It feels amazing," he says of DJing in front of a crowd. "When I'm on stage I'm expressing myself through my music, and the connection that you feel with the audience's energy is unreal."
For Dale, being a DJ is all about sharing the experience of sound with his listeners. He likes showing familiar music in a different light, and watching how people react to styles of music they've never heard before.
"I really like the journey," he says.
Dale's own personal journey with music began back when he was still in diapers, sitting on his parents' kitchen floor banging pots and pans with a spoon. It was loud, and he was proud.
From there, he grew into a kid who was obsessed with his radio toy, and then a teenager who made mix tapes and CDs. He played the tuba with his hometown high school band in Eau Claire, Wis., and also with the Wisconsin state honors band.
Now 26 years old, Dale is still exploring his love for sound. He's graduated from pots and pans, and even tubas, to multiple sophisticated and versatile instruments including the guitar, bass guitar, piano, synthesizers, drum machine and others. He's educated himself on music and music history. And he's refined his tastes and carved out his own niche in the musical world.
That niche is a very specific one, found within the somewhat underground realm of electronic dance music, or EDM. Dale focuses on a few different styles of EDM, including bassline, dubstep, grime and UK garage.
As the name of that last genre suggests, the music is especially popular in the United Kingdom - and Dale has made a name for himself, or more accurately, for Wissota, in the UK's EDM scene. He's had tracks on two chart-topping EDM compilation albums in the UK, and two of his singles have reached into the Top 50 there.
The latest of those albums, "Keep It Par, Volume 1," is currently in the No. 1 spot on the UK Garage Album chart. It's a top seller on JunoDownload.com, an online British retailer that's among the largest independent dance music stores in the world. Wissota's track on the album, "Be (Leave) Me," is one of 40 songs featured by a variety of international DJs, some of whom have been role models to Dale.
"It's really amazing to see my name on the label with some of the other artists that I would consider my heroes or my influences of the genre," he says.
The appeal of Wissota's music is catching on closer to home, too. He's been performing all over the region since he first took up an interest in DJing six years ago, and audiences as well as other DJs are growing keen to his talents. From the Winter Warmer music festival in Milwaukee to the Skyway Theatre in Minneapolis, Wissota has shared the stage with some well-known DJs like Diplo and Snbrn. He finds his gigs purely by networking, mostly at other EDM events.
In Fargo, where he most recently lived until moving into a Detroit Lakes apartment just last week, he plays regular gigs and also helped start a weekly EDM showcase event at a local club. Called Sub:Culture, the showcase highlights different underground and unique EDM styles and artists from all over the world. It's become a popular Wednesday night feature at The Aquarium.
Dale's own style is "very bass-centric," as he describes it. He takes a lot of his sounds from older UK garage music and gives it an American spin. He was introduced to garage music in college, by friends of his in Fargo.
"The style is something I just kind of fell upon," he says.
He got really into the genre, learning all he could about it and listening to as much of it as he could find. His research eventually led him to the UK record label Project Allout Records, which took an interest in his music, and he's been working with the label ever since.
"There aren't a lot of producers from the U.S. who have had releases in the UK," Dale says. "It's a very niche genre, very area specific - although it has been gaining some more popularity over here recently."
A longtime songwriter, Dale has written hundreds of songs spanning multiple genres, including funk, Jersey Club, trance and more. Another ongoing project of his, called Wishful Venture, focuses on atmospheric indie dance music heavily influenced by his other favorite hobby - traveling.
Dale has been all over the American West, parts of Canada, and other places. He likes to hike and just get out into the great outdoors, and he and his father have a goal of visiting as many National Parks as they can. It's a lifestyle that doesn't always allow much time for sleep, as Dale will often follow a late night show with an early morning hike at a local park, but it's what he loves.
Dale left his native state of Wisconsin shortly after high school, to get a degree in advertising from Minnesota State University in Moorhead. He followed that up with a certification in event management from the University of Minnesota, and has also studied entertainment business and music technology.
Before taking on his new role at the Holmes in May, he worked for more than two years as an event specialist at Livewire Entertainment in Fargo, doing lighting, audio, projection mapping and a lot of technical work for things like concerts and corporate events. When he heard about the opening at the Holmes, he was interested. The work was right up his alley, he says, and he was ready for a change of pace.
At the Holmes, Dale handles contracts and bookings for facility rentals as well as technical riders for touring acts. He helps with the set up for bigger events, and for smaller ones he takes care of any lighting and audio needs himself. He also does some production work at community events like Tuesdays In The Park and Lakes Area Community Concert Band shows.
"I like it," he says. "It's a lot of fun. The work varies and has different challenges depending on the day."
Though he's officially a Detroit Lakes resident now, he'll still get over to Fargo at least once a week for the Sub:Culture events, where he's not only an organizer but a frequent performer, and on weekends he'll sometimes be on the road for out-of-town gigs. He performs about two or three times a month in Fargo, plus two or three times a month in other cities around the Midwest.
He works on his music "every chance I get," he says. "I just love it."
Dale plans to keep DJing around the region for the foreseeable future, and hopes to get over to the UK one day to play some gigs there. He also wants to continue to travel (he has a goal to summit a mountain at some point), and to get more involved in the Detroit Lakes community.
Listen to some of his music here: www.soundcloud.com/wissotamusic
What's Wissota?
Erik Dale's DJ stage name comes from Lake Wissota, a lake near his hometown of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It's also a play on words, combining the names of two states he's lived in, Wisconsin and Minnesota (Wis-sota). "So it's kind of the idea that I'm from Wisconsin, turning Minnesotan," Dale says.

Help with Kia PCP excess mileage

Tagged: Kia

I have a car with Kia on a PCP agreement. My mileage limit was 18,000 over 3 years, so 6,000 each year. I am half way through and already almost at 18,000.
I was under the impression that exceeding mileage limit was not really an issue if i was to change my car for a new one after 3 years. At 14.9p per mile i am petrified i will need to pay thousands when the 3 years is up.
- Stuart MassonKeymaster
Hi Brian. If you give the car back to the finance company at the end of the agreement, they will charge you 14.9p for every mile (or £149 per 1,000 miles, if that's easier to work out).
If you sell the car either privately or as a part-exchange, you will have to pay the settlement figure (the balloon/GMFV) back to the finance company but you will not be charged anything else. For a complete explanation of your options at the end of a PCP, the article linked below should tell you all you need to know.

7 Famous Films Shot in Thailand
From Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep to Ryan Gosling and Robin Williams, a galaxy of stars has shone in Thailand during shoots for these films, both wonderful and wretched.
Published on Nov 20, 2013
In the ninth James Bond film, which was Roger Moore's second outing as the secret agent with a license to kill, the action moves from the Jamaica of the novel by Ian Fleming, to Beirut (the infamous belly-dancing sequence) to Macau and Hong Kong for some kung-fu shenanigans.
As Bond pursues the world's most expensive hit man, Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), whose weapon of choice is a gold-plated gun, to Bangkok, some wild chase scenes by car and long-tail boat on the city's canals ensues.
The villain has stolen a "solex agitator" that converts solar radiation to electricity (the film was set during the oil crisis of the early 70s).
Eventually, Bond tracks him to his secret lair on a tropical island said to be in China, but actually in southern Thailand where the explosive climax takes place with Bond babe Maud Adams (later to play the titular villainess in Octopussy) bouncing around in a bikini.
For years now, the so-called "James Bond Island" in Phang-nga Bay has been included in the itinerary of many daytrips from Phuket. It's an underwhelming tourist trap but the bay itself, punctuated by the exclamation marks of limestone karts rising for hundreds of metres out of the water, is the most redeeming feature of these outings.
This film about the side effects and after shocks of the Vietnam War on three buddies from a rough and tumble steel mill town in Pennsylvania starred a trio of young lions in their acting prime: Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, and Christopher Walken.
The film bagged five Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director for Michael Cimino, and Best Supporting Actor for Christopher Walken.
The Deer Hunter is most remembered for the harrowing scene when the Vietcong soldiers force their American GI prisoners to play a round of Russian roulette. That scene was shot by the waterfall in Sai Yok National Park in Kanchanaburi province.
Another intense scene, shot at a school in Bangkok as a stand in for the American Embassy in Saigon when the Americans were conceding defeat and pulling out, showcased the director's sense of realism. An extra playing an American soldier said, "Cimino tried to get us riled up for the scene by punching my buddy in the head. De Niro refused to talk to anybody because he was trying to stay in character and Walken looked as scary in real life as did on the set."
The shoot sounds almost as dramatic as the film.
The original version of this movie, helmed by the brotherly duo from Hong Kong, Danny and Oxide Pang, was far superior to the lackluster remake starring Nicholas Cage.
What made the 1999 version so compelling was the fact that the hit man, Kong (Pawalit Mongkolpisit), is both deaf and mute. His estrangement from the human race is made all the more poignant with the inclusion of black-and-white flashbacks of growing up in a rural Thai village where he is teased and tormented.
It's also stylistic visually. The opening murder scene, when Kong kills a man in a public bathroom, is composed of a single shot of grainy CCTV footage.
Another aspect that lifts this film above most of its kin in the hit-and-run genre is the love story at its heart between Kong and a pharmacist named Fon (Premsinee Ratanasopha) who communicate by writing messages on his arm.
Anticipation was running high after Drive, the collaboration between actor Ryan Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn, that their new film set in Bangkok would hit high gear.
Unfortunately, this clunker rarely makes it out of neutral except for a few gory sequences with the Thai cop, Vithaya Pansringarm, who exacts revenge with a samurai-like sword. He also engages Gosling, who plays the taciturn Julian, in a prolonged Muay Thai bout which took three days to shoot.
Kudos to Gosling for getting in the ring and not using a stunt double. Too bad that same dedication did not go into crafting a more compelling character.
Only God Forgives reinforces all the Bangkok stereotypes of drugs and sleaze, and all of the characters are stick figures in need of fleshing out.
The result is a stylistically bold but emotionally empty film, devoid of everything except despair and a few flashes of kitsch courtesy of the karaoke-loving cop.
The number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand has shot up by more than 90% over the past year. Much of that stratospheric leap has come from movie pilgrims eager to see Chiang Mai, where most of the zany, road-trip flick Lost in Thailand is set.
In China, the film has been a box-office phenomena, grossing container trucks of RMB. It is now the biggest domestic blockbuster of all time.
In Chiang Mai, the film's success has been a source of disgruntlement for some locals who see Chinese visitors washing their feet in hotel swimming pools.
The plot is nothing elaborate. Two business rivals meet in Thailand to settle the score and their differences. As with most road films it's a personal quest story, too.
For Chinese audiences, however, the storyline is just an excuse for plenty of slapstick guffaws, ladyboy jokes, martial-arts zaniness and actors making funny faces.
Audiences have been polarized on this sequel. Those who have been to Thailand and realize what shoddy stereotypes the movie plays on – ladyboys, monks, hookers – and those who have never been there and think this is a real depiction. The former are not fans. The latter tend to like it.
The same cast are back with Bradley Cooper (Phil), Ed Helms (Stu), Zach Galifianakis (Alan), Justin Bartha (Doug) and Ken Jeong (Mr. Chow), but they can't make up for a weak script which dusts off the same gags from the first flick and tries to spice them up with a few local seasonings, like when Stu wakes up, not missing a tooth as in the original but with a Thai tattoo on his face.
The sequel's storyline is similar. This time Stu is getting married in Thailand. Doug, Phil, Alan, and Stu's new brother-in-law Teddy arrive for the wedding. But after a night no one can remember they wake up (surprise, surprise) with toxic hangovers and find that Teddy has gone MIA.
As in the first flick they have to try and retrace their missteps of the night before to find Teddy before the wedding.
In a telltale quip, Alan says, "When a monkey nibbles on the weenus it's funny in any language."
Not if you're sober or past the age of 15.
Possibly the best foreign comedy ever shot in Thailand, the film stars Robin Williams as a rebellious disc jockey doing a radio show for the servicemen in Vietnam. His love of rock 'n' roll and his madcap antics, like overdubbing a Richard Nixon speech with his voice, soon put him on a collision course with the authorities.
Once again, Bangkok doubles for Saigon, and Thai actress Jintara Sukapat plays Vinh, the DJ's main squeeze. As Williams' character, Adrian Cronauer, says, "You know, you're very beautiful. You're also very quiet. And I'm not used to girls being that quiet unless they're medicated. Normally I go out with girls who talk so much you could hook them up to a wind turbine and they could power a small New Hampshire town."
Adrian Cronauer is also the name of the real disc jockey who wrote the original story for the film, based on his own experiences doing radio shows and making waves in Vietnam, after he had been a United States Air Force Sergeant.

Several years ago, in 2009, I interviewed Mark Dym, the owner/chef of Marco's Coal-Fired Pizzeria, for my weekly Chef and Tell series, and when I asked him about his most influential culinary inspiration, he had this to say:
No question, Roberto Caporuscio, a fantastic pizzaiolo from Campania who's been living in the states for ten years and cooking some of the best pizzas in the world. Before I opened Marco's, I flew to Italy to train with Roberto, and he taught me how to make real Neopolitan style pizza. He helped me open Marco's, and now he's got a great restaurant in New York called Keste that's the real deal. Roberto taught me just about everything I know. It's his fault that pizza's my world.

On Thursday, March 14, at Marco's Ballpark, and again, on Friday, March 15, at Marco's at Inverness, Caporuscio, still the chef at Keste, along with Don Antonio, a third-generation owner of Pizzeria Starita, in Naples, and Antimo Caputo, the grandson of Molino Caputo, the famous Italian who founded Molino Flour -- the Italy-based, Neapolitan company that produces "00" flour -- will gather in Dym's exhibition kitchens, where they'll do demos featuring the techniques and recipes of Neapolitan pizza crafting. Both nights also include a cocktail hour and appetizer reception, followed by a dinner with specialty pizzas, wine, beer and desserts.
And we're giving away two seats to the March 15 "Meet the Masters" dinner at Marco's Inverness to one Cafe Society commenter who can provide us with the correct answer to the following question: How many gluten-free margherita pizzas, the crusts of which are created with Caputo's gluten-free flour, did Marco's at Inverness serve during the month of February?
The person who comes the closest to the actual number without going over will get the two tickets. In order to win, please submit your guesses in the comments section below, and be sure to include your name (any name will do), and a valid e-mail address so we can reach you if your guess is best. We'll announce the winner on Friday, March 8.

We teach you the unspoken etiquette. Ignore our insider tips at your own peril.
- Do set up privacy settings for your online profile, so the intimacies of your life—your battle with the bulge; an impending divorce—don't become public when people find you in a search. Facebook, for example, lets you decide who can see your info and photos. You can limit exposure to "friends" or even just a few people on your list.
- Don't rush to friend your teen or college-age kidson these sites; wait to see if they reach out to you. There are some things you really don't want to know about your little angels. Plus, they probably like having their own parent-free space on the Web.
- Do use LinkedIn and Facebook to stay in touch with former colleagues. These days (unfortunately) you never know when you'll need a reference for a new gig.
- Don't post boring status updates on Facebook to comment about every single second of your day. If you must share, save those comments for Twitter (and please don't have your Twitter feed post to Facebook—even though you can). Trust us, your associates don't want a dull rundown of how you overslept this morning, are having tummy issues, and can't find that missing sock.
- Do think twice before friending your employees on social sites. They don't want to offend you by saying no, but they also don't want you to see their wall posts outlining over-the-top (and super-sketchy) happy hour activities.

I work with Dr Simon Guest to explore how the symmetries influence the periodic frameworks. The initial inspirations are the exceptions of Clerk Maxwell's rule for rigidity of frameworks. These exceptions are proved to be related to symmetries of their configurations. For crystalline structures, which usually have high order of symmetries, the finite motions are not yet understood. We developed a computational method based on linear algebra to track the finite motion of the frameworks.
Most of my tested frameworks are "locally isostatic" repetitive frameworks - those that, on average, have the same number of constraints as degrees of freedom. This is an area where the basic structural mechanics are not well understood, but are nonetheless of tremendous potential for understanding crystallographic structures such as zeolites, which are important industrial materials, and newer materials such as Metal Organic Frameworks. Understanding finite deformations of these structures is important to understand mysterious properties such as negative thermal expansion coefficients.

The Cross of Christ
The cross of Christ doesn't make sense in the modern Western world. It was an instrument of execution and the Romans felt that Jesus was enough of a danger that He should be executed — that's all. The idea that Jesus was paying for the sins of the world doesn't connect with a generation that has lost its sense of personal sin and guilt. We in the West have replaced those parts of the biblical understanding of the human condition with some pop psychology and relativistic morality through which we pretend to 'escape' the consequences for our rebellion against God's laws. We tend to think that almost everything we choose to do in our pursuit of happiness is okay, as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else. We tend to think that as long as we're roughly as good as our neighbors and the people we work with, we have nothing to fear and that, after death, we will go to a 'better place'. In the meantime, our culture has let itself off the hook. What about the cross of Christ? Why did Jesus die? If He died for you and to pay the just penalty for your sin, what will He do about your rejection of His sacrifice and your determination that you don't need the cross.
During the month of March, the weeks leading up to Easter Sunday, we will explore the meaning of the cross of Christ and deal with many of the questions people have about its purpose and its ongoing meaning in our daily lives.

NFL free agency is set to begin in less than a month (March 13), so for today's Post, we took a detailed look at the Dolphins' salary cap situation heading into 2012.
In the article, we list every penny the Dolphins have spent on the 2012 cap so far — from the $12.8 million cap number of Jake Long to the $667 they are charged against the cap for Phillip Livas, who was on the team for one day last year (but not including newly-signed Jerome Messam). It's important to remember that the Dolphins will be able to clear space by restructuring contracts and cutting several players. But they also have to sign one or two impact free agents, a rookie draft class and perhaps up to four restricted free agents.
Overall, the Dolphins are in decent shape heading into the offseason. They have a lot of money committed to current players, but Jeff Ireland has enough wiggle room with the salary cap to find everything he needs — particularly a franchise QB.
Here is a look inside the numbers of the Dolphins' cap situation:
Total cap spending on players (65): $111,836,173.00
Penalties (Vernon Carey contract): $4.8 million
Total 2012 cap spending so far: $116,636,173.00
Total 2012 cash spending on salaries so far: $86,661,901.00
Dolphins 2011 salary cap spending: 114,317,606.43 (92 percent of cap)
Unused cap room that can be rolled over to 2012: 9,057,393.57
Top 5 salary cap numbers in 2012 account for: $47,675,000 (38 percent of cap)
Top 10 salary cap numbers account for: $71,390,833 (58 percent of cap)
Top 20 salary cap numbers account for: $93,203,695 (76 percent of cap)
2012 salary cap space committed to players no longer with the team: $5,706,533
* Vernon Carey counts $4.8 million, Tim Dobbins counts $600,000 and A.J. Edds counts $238,500

Oprah Winfrey, American's highest rated talk show host, debuted on Twitter April 17th by saying: "Hi twitters. Thank you for a warm welcome. Feeling really 21st century."
Concern about overloading the network was assuaged as Oprah hit the scene of the latest technology fad. Friday was the megastar's arrival on the social network. The site did not slow down over the weekend following her debut as some had thought it would, according to AlertSite, a company that checks how the web is performing.
Either Oprah isn't as popular a tweeter as expected, or Twitter had their act together in anticipation of the big event. Yet, Twitter's founder apparently did notice a decrease in responsiveness, because according to Sky News, he claimed that a slow down had nothing to do with Oprah hopping on his bandwagon.
{ad}New users credited to Oprah having joined the ranks were unofficially estimated to near 1 million, higher than the norm for comparable days. Rumors abound – some say she has garnered 350,000 followers. Considering her TV show viewers, which have numbered over 8 million per show according to Wikipedia, the number doesn't sound exaggerated. It is also rumored that hackers are already at work with a worm attack which sends fake messages from the user's account. So don't believe everything Oprah tweets to you.
Since Oprah told another popular talk show host, Larry King, that she was quitting in 2011, maybe Twitter is the only way fans will be able to get their Oprah fix?

Damalinia bovis (Bovicola bovis)
Damalinia bovis (Bovicola bovis)
Red louse or biting louse of cattle.
General Description:
These lice are small (1 to 2 mm long) flattened, wingless insects. Biting lice have broad heads with mouth parts adapted for chewing. There are brown transverse markings on the abdomen.
Life Cycle:
Lice spend the entire life cycle on the animal and can survive only several days off the host. The prepatent period is 20 to 25 days.
Skin surface, especially of the neck, withers, and root of the tail.
Geographical Distribution:
In cooler areas.
Biting lice are widespread and important parasites. Itching associated with them reduces thriftiness of the cattle with resulting losses.
Effects on Host:
Irritation causes intense itching; animals demonstrate typical parasite worry, not feeding or sleeping well. Scratching may produce skin wounds or bruises and the coat becomes rough. The infestations with biting lice are heaviest in the winter when hair coats are thick.
Diagnostic Information:
Lice may be seen on skin, and eggs can be seen as white specks attached to hairs.
Insecticides in sprays, dips, powders, or dusts can be effective.

...an old phrase I heard once to describe an event in which something current comes in contact with its beginnings.
This is exactly what happened to me recently in Baton Rouge, LA. My bandmates and I were headlining a big festival there. Of the many folks there in attendance, one concert-goer happens to have been my very first band director, Chip Vickers. He was there with his family, to see my band perform. And although I knew he was going to be there, I cannot begin to explain the overwhelming feelings of pride and humility that came over me once he was actually there.
My father was the one who gave me my first guitar and helped me begin my love affair with music, but it was Chip who supplied me with direction and set me upon my true path. He patiently helped me learn the essential rudiments of drumming, and taught me to read music. He gave me proper inspiration and guidance that sparked a flame within me that has yet to go out. Although I was under his instruction in the junior high band program for only two years, he had an impressive impact on me. His high level of patience with me and all of the other students, instilled in me an approach to teaching that I try to use to this day when I take on a student. He also instilled in me a great curiosity for music...which led me to become an eternal student of my instrument.
I certainly hope that I have made him proud. I don't know how many of his former students can lay claim to having a handful of Grammy Awards on the mantle, but I'm sure that it's not many. I also hope that he understands that it is due to him, in great part, that I have become the musician that I am today. My love, fascination, and appreciation of music, and the impact that it can have on everyone, certainly can be attributed to Chip Vickers...he helped me to discover so much and at such an early age.
And while there are several others who have been teachers of mine- knowingly and otherwise- who deserve to be recognized for helping to mold me into what I have become so far, right here, right now, in this very moment, I am compelled to say thank you to him, and him alone.
So without further ado...
To Mr. John "Chip" Vickers,
Thank you. I have what I have, and have accomplished musically what I have because you, my dear friend, so greatly encouraged it all those years ago.
You taught me the basics of rudimental drumming (quite well I might add) and taught me to read music. Not just drum notation written out on one line...music. You taught me about playing with dynamics and with expression. You were insistent that I apply myself and practice diligently. Your enthusiasm and encouragement made such a lasting impression on my life. Whether by accident or design, you taught me how to be competitive with no one other than myself, and then challenged me to become the best that I could become. You taught me the value of helping others learn and the joys that come from sharing musical ideas and concepts. You helped me to appreciate music of all types, and most importantly, helped me realize just how much I love to make music.
You may feel as if you only taught me "the basics", but I can assure you that those "basics" have served me well and continue to do so. I have had many music teachers along the way in my musical journeys, but none of them have had quite the same significant influence on me as you have.
With all of the love I have...thank you.

KC-135 tail number 57-1419, the oldest aircraft in the Air Force's fleet, sits in a hangar at Andersen AFB, Guam, after being washed to remove salt and avoid corrosion. Staff photo by Brian Everstine
ANDERSEN AFB, Guam — Before they can fly the newest air refueling tanker, the airmen with the New Hampshire Air National Guard are refueling aircraft throughout the Pacific in the oldest.
The airmen are flying KC-135R, tail number 57-1419, the oldest Stratotanker—and the oldest aircraft—currently in the Air Force's fleet. The Block 40 variant of the refueler still doesn't have modernized avionics unlike the rest of the fleet, but its mission capable rate is high, which is "pretty impressive," given the operations tempo and environment in Guam, said Lt. Col. Nelson Perron, commander of the 506th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron.
"[Guam] is a harsh environment, bringing unique challenges," Perron said.
The aircraft is one of several KC-135s deployed to Andersen. The others include aircraft from the Nebraska Air National Guard, the Alabama Air National Guard, Active Duty aircraft from MacDill AFB, Fla., and Reserve aircraft from Tinker AFB, Okla. Guardsmen typically rotate through the base every 60 days and fly regularly, Perron said. The aircraft themselves need down days, which is why 57-1419 was parked in a hangar on a recent afternoon to be thoroughly washed to avoid corrosion. The KC-135s at Andersen need to be washed about every 30 days, at least.
The tankers are responsible for supporting the continuous bomber presence at Andersen, regularly topping off thirsty B-52s as they fly both local training missions and longer deterrence flights through the Pacific. They also support "coronet" missions, where they refuel fighter jets that deploy across the Pacific, including F-35s and F-22s that deployed to Kadena AB, Japan. This means flying flights that range up to nine hours long, though that "isn't all that long" for a tanker, Perron said.
Perron himself said he first deployed to Guam in 2005, and has been here six times since. "Now we're flying more missions, and more of a variety of missions," he said. The mission is "dynamic," because sometimes tankers surge for large scale exercises, such as Cope North at Guam, or fly support for high-profile missions, such as the B-52's deterrence flights through the region. Supporting those missions make the airmen "proud, seeing how much people care about this," said SrA Clare Handy, a maintainer with the 506th EARS, who is at Guam on her first deployment.
The New Hampshire Guard will retire its KC-135s and move on to KC-46s. It's expected to receive its first Pegasus aircraft beginning next year.

CHICAGO - A federal judge in Illinois on Tuesday blocked same-day registration at polling places in the state's most populous counties, saying a law enacted last year disproportionately favored urban voters over their rural counterparts.
The ruling resulted from a federal court lawsuit brought in August by a group aligned with a conservative think tank challenging a state law allowing Election Day voter registration at polling places in counties with populations of 100,000 or more.
"The application of this legislation favors the urban citizen and dilutes the vote of the rural citizen," Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan of the Northern District of Illinois wrote in his opinion on Tuesday, six weeks before the Nov. 8 election.
The Chicago-based Liberty Justice Center, which filed the lawsuit, argued the population threshold unconstitutionally discriminated against voters in less populated counties and boosted Democrats in heavily Democratic Cook County, where Chicago is located.
"The court ruled that if Illinois is going to have Election Day voter registration at polling places, it should be available statewide – and it should be fair," Jacob Huebert, a senior attorney for the Liberty Justice Center, or LJC, said in a statement on Tuesday.
Maura Possley, a spokeswoman for the state Attorney General's Office, was not immediately available to comment on whether there would be an appeal.
LJC was founded by the Illinois Policy Institute, which keeps its donors secret, but Republican Governor Bruce Rauner, who took office in January 2015, has publicly acknowledged giving the group at least $500,000 over a period of years.
The law, passed in late 2014 by the Democratic-led legislature and signed in early 2015 by former Democratic Governor Pat Quinn, allowed Election Day voter registration for the first time, including at polling places.
But the section of the law pertaining to polling place registration pertained only to counties with populations of 100,000 or more.
Democratic state Senator Don Harmon said in a statement on Tuesday he was disappointed by the decision, which came on National Voter Registration Day, calling it a "blatantly political effort to quell participation in Illinois elections."
Civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, also expressed unhappiness with the ruling.
"We are concerned about the impact of this decision, changing the rules of voting so close to this hotly contested election," Edwin Yohnka, director of communications and public policy at the ACLU of Illinois said in a statement.

"Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien."–Voltaire's Dictionnaire Philosophique (1764)
Literally translated as "The best is the enemy of good."
I have read many interpretations of what this saying means. Many of which make sense (not striving for unattainable perfection or being content with what is good in our life–great thoughts). The way I interpret it is a bit different, but it is food for thought as I am contemplating my new year.
So often in life we are doing good things. Wonderful things! Fun things. Important things. But in being distracted by the good, we miss out on what are really the BEST things. The enemy of what is best for us in our life or schedule is often something really good. That is what makes juggling our life and day so difficult. We know what is really bad for us, those things are usually pretty obvious, but can we discern between the good and the best? Do I need to say no to some of the good stuff in order to have time for the best?
Edited to add: I am thinking, for one example, BEST would be to spend time with my husband in the evening. There are lots of GOOD things I do all day that often make me too tired, distracted or busy in the evening to spend time with him. This is where I think I could grow in the year 2008. Not filling up my days with so many GOOD things (friends, work that I love, cleaning, volunteering, creating, blogging) that I miss out on the BEST things. Not perfection, but things I treasure the most. There are good things in life and best things in life. The best ones for me are often neglected in a sea of good things.
Just thinking.

Fans vent at Rovers boss as Hoban sends Dundalk top
Shamrock Rovers 0 Dundalk 1
BOTH managers became attuned to the sound of boos aimed their way at Tallaght a long time ago but, unlike his predecessor, Trevor Croly couldn't complain at the derision meted out by the Shamrock Rovers supporters yesterday.
This defeat to joint-leaders Dundalk, leaving the Hoops six points off the top, doesn't descend Croly into the danger zone Stephen Kenny inhabited before his sacking in September 2012 but certainly raises further questions about the manager's ability to bring Rovers to the level the board and fans expect.
Pat Hoban's 66th-minute close-range finish settled this meeting in favour of the Louthmen, yet the decision-making of the managers shortly before that breakthrough said much of their respective outlooks.
Kenny, aware of the home crowd's uneasiness contributing to Rovers' sloppiness, introduced new signing Donal McDermott as a substitute approaching the hour.
A talented winger of renown from his days as a Manchester City apprentice, the Ashbourne man had lost his way in recent seasons at Bournemouth before the Dundalk boss offered a lifeline at Oriel.
Croly's move from the bench four minutes later was to withdraw their playmaker, Gary McCabe – much to the annoyance of the player and fans alike. Dundalk soon found more space down the channels and carved Rovers open for the winner.
Dane Massey's interception just inside the Hoops half led to gaps emerging and, following a neat exchange between Kurtis Byrne and Darren Meenan on the right, the latter's low cross to the far post allowed Hoban to ghost in unmarked to tap home.
It was Hoban's first league start for five weeks due to injury and probably the easiest of his 10 goals accumulated this term.
Indeed, the visitors should have made this deserved victory more comfortable, as their lynchpin Richie Towell was denied from point-blank range by Rovers goalkeeper Barry Murphy nine minutes later.
Though this top-of-the-table clash was far from vintage fare, at least the Lilywhites had the excuse of playing just three days after their Europa League exertions. For a Rovers side with no such distractions and laden with pre-season expectation, the paucity of chances they created was alarming.
"I felt we were worthy winners in the end," said Kenny afterwards, content at his side going level on points again at the summit with Cork City.
"The match was a bit helter-skelter in the first half and lacked any discernable pattern but I still didn't feel that there was any threat to our goal bar from a set play.
"To come away from Shamrock Rovers on a Sunday afternoon with all three points after playing on Thursday is a very important victory for us."
Croly, meanwhile, brushed off the booing that dominated the Tallaght air at full-time, insistent this was a blip.
"We're trying to do a job here," said the man under pressure to recover from last season's underwhelming debut campaign in charge.
"We're in all the cups, six points off top with 14 games to go. So there are a lot of points to pick up. We've got to be realistic and today was as poor as we've played. But it can happen because the players are humans."
Home fans expecting progression from last week's defeat of champions St Patrick's Athletic were disappointed. Towell's drive from an acute angle saved by the legs of Murphy five minutes before the interval was the only chance either team mustered in the first half.
Not even the concession of Hoban's goal provoked a late charge by Rovers. Such was their desperation that Jason McGuinness converted to a striker for the closing stages – albeit with scant effectiveness.
Shamrock Rovers - Murphy, Madden, McGuinness, Kenna, D O'Connor, Finn, R Brennan (Bayly 79), Robinson, McCabe (O'Connor 63), Zayed, Kelly (Kilduff 71).
Dundalk - Cherrie, Gannon, Boyle, Gartland, Massey, Shields, Towell, Horgan (McDermott 59), Meenan (Mountney 90), Hoban, Byrne (Higgins 83).

I took a few pictures in the diningroom before I left for work today...the sun was streaming in the windows and it was so bright and cheery.
I picked up the red apothocary jar at JC Penney this weekend at a huge discount. It was in with the Christmas decorations, but red is a pretty universal accent color...Valentine's Day, and the red, white, and blue summer holidays.

Overlapping toes are characterized by one toe lying on top of an adjacent toe. The fifth toe is the most commonly affected. Overlapping toes may develop in the unborn fetus. Passive stretching and adhesive taping is most commonly used to correct overlapping toes in infants, but the deformity usually recurs. Sometimes they can be surgically corrected by releasing the tendon and soft tissues about the joint at the base of the fifth toe. In some extreme cases, a pin may be surgically inserted to hold the toe in a straightened position. The pin, which exits the tip of the toe, may be left in place for up to three weeks.
Underlapping toes usually involve the fourth and fifth toes. (A special form of underlapping toes is called congenital curly toes). The cause of underlapping toes is unknown. It is speculated that they may be caused by an imbalance in muscle strength of the small muscles of the foot. If deformed toes are flexible, a simple release of the tendon in the bottom of the toe will allow for them to straighten. If the deformity is rigid, surgery may be needed to remove a small portion of the bone in the toe.

I would say that seeing the Burj Khalifa from such a close quarters during the helicopter tour was the most surreal moment of my life. The entire tour was absolutely incredible. The tour offers value for money and something everyone must try. I had a great time and would thank Rayna Tours for making all the arrangements.

On my dad's 60th birthday, I took him on a helicopter tour of 15 minutes. He was ecstatic to see all the major landmarks of the city so closely. It was the best birthday gift for him and the smile on his face made my day. I would like to say that Rayna Tours is doing a great job by providing such great tours and services at affordable rates.

What Is the Definition of Indoor Air Pollution?
Indoor air pollution refers to toxic contaminants that we encounter in our daily lives in our homes, schools and workplaces. According to the California Air Resources Board (ARB), part of the California Environmental Protection Agency, many pollutants build up rapidly indoors, resulting in higher levels than usually found outside, especially in newer homes where tighter construction prevents particles from escaping the home. These pollutants can cause a variety of health problems and can even be fatal at high levels.
Exposure to Indoor Air Pollution
According to the ARB, indoor air pollutant levels can be anywhere between 25 to 62 percent greater than outside levels. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that people in industrialized nations spend as much as 90 percent of their time indoors. For some parts of the population, such as infants and the elderly, the time spent indoors can be even greater. Exposure to some pollutants, such as tobacco smoke and radon, occurs almost exclusively indoors.
Sources of Indoor Air Pollution
Indoor air pollution can be caused by tobacco smoke, carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxides from unvented or faulty gas appliances, particles from wood-burning stoves, fireplaces and aerosol sprays, and biological agents, such as pet dander, dust and mold. Asbestos, lead and radon are particularly dangerous indoor pollutants that can cause brain damage and cancer.
Volatile Organic Compounds
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are hazardous chemicals that commonly exist in high concentrations indoors. VOCs are released from consumer products, such as aerosol sprays, solvents, glues and adhesives, cleaning products, paint, air fresheners, building materials, furnishings, office equipment, carpet, craft supplies and dry cleaning chemicals on recently treated clothing. Products of this nature release VOCs when in use or even while stored. Formaldehyde is a common VOC found in furniture, wallpaper and pressed wood products, such as plywood and particleboard.
Health Risks of Indoor Air Pollution
A 1987 EPA study ranked indoor air pollution as the fourth highest cancer risk out of 13 environmental problems. Indoor radon exposure, which is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, was rated the number-one environmental health risk. In addition to lung cancer, indoor air pollution can cause other respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis, pneumonia and emphysema. Toxic compounds found inside the home have also been linked to heart disease, headaches, loss of eyesight; impaired mental function, eye, nose and throat irritation, allergic reactions, asthma and damage to the liver, kidney and brain, according to the ARB. Some indoor pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, can be fatal.
Reducing Indoor Air Pollution
Minimizing or preventing the release of pollutants is essential to lowering the levels of hazardous compounds inside the home. The ARB recommends restricting smoking indoors and using products and appliances safely and properly. Products containing VOCs should be used outside whenever possible, and indoors only in properly ventilated areas. Choose alternatives to aerosol sprays whenever possible and do not use gas stoves to heat the house. Choose building materials, furniture and carpet carefully; avoid VOC-containing materials, such as plywood and particle board. When purchasing new furniture and carpet, arrange for items to be aired out prior to delivery, or air them out in the garage or yard before bringing them into the house. Clean the house regularly to keep it free of dust and mold.

Dollar strength continues as record eurozone unemployment and poor UK manufacturing PMI weigh on euro and sterling respectively
03/Απρ/2013 • Currency Updates•
Yesterday sterling fell the most in three weeks against its most traded counterparts, the greenback and the euro, after the Markit Manufacturing PMI for March dropped to 48.3 from a consensus of 48.5. This disappointing release put sterling under pressure as concern mounted that the country is heading for another recession. The UK mortgage approval figures also disappointed coming in at 51.7K against a consensus expectation of 53.7. This data again points towards a case for further QE with analysts speculating that more MPC members will side with Governor Mervyn King at the next vote. Despite this blip, U.K. Consumer Credit expanded another 0.6B in February but this was only a small silver lining for the pound.
Despite mounting speculation, above-target inflation continues to erode the outlook for private sector consumption so we may still see the majority of the Monetary Policy Committee preserve the neutral policy stance throughout 2013 in tomorrow's meeting. Today, PMI Construction figures for March is expected to show 47.5 from a previous 46.8, adding more pressure to the MPC as the real estate sector weighs heavily on the economy.
The euro slipped to levels seen at last week's close as unemployment in the monetary union climbed to a fresh record-high of 12.0% during the month of February, while Cyprus is looking for an extension on the time required to meet its budget target as the peripheral sovereign struggles to navigate through the banking crisis.
Despite resolution in Cyprus there is still much concern in Europe as, according to Reuters, Spain is discussing with the European Union a new 2013 budget deficit target of around 6% of GDP as opposed to the current 4.5%. The Spanish government needs to renegotiate a new target as they are likely to revise down the current GDP forecast to -1.0% from the -0.5% expected before. ECB board member Marko Kranjec, who also heads the Slovenian central bank, pledged to monitor banks on a daily and a monthly basis amid the renewed threat for contagion in the region. Moreover, Italy is still awaiting the formulation of a government with a majority sufficient enough to pass the required economic stimulus measures needed, and to guard against bond-market speculation in the wake of the financial crisis in Cyprus.
Consumer Price Index for March is forecast to print at 1.7% from its previous 1.8%, forcing ECB President Mario Draghi to sound more dovish in tomorrow's meeting. If CPI lowers, the central bank head may show a greater willingness to push borrowing costs to a fresh record-low. However, the Governing Council is widely expected to keep the benchmark interest rate at 0.75%.
The greenback bounced back on Tuesday as the US Dollar Index snapping back from a monthly low, and the reserve currency tracked higher throughout the North American session as Factory Orders for February soared to 3.0% from previous -1.0%.
Only two important data releases are due today in the US: ADP Employment Change for March, which will give us a prediction of the Non Farm Payrolls of this Friday, and ISM Non-Manufacturing figures with a consensus expectation of 55.8 form a previous 56.0.

Why the death of cash may have been exaggerated
The Cambridge Security Initiative jointly led by Sir Richard Dearlove, former chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, and professor Christopher Andrew, a former official historian of MI5, is a think tank specialising in security and intelligence. The initiative has released a report on cashless society, authored by Alfred Rolington and the verdict is… cash is still king, and don't expect to see it disappear any time soon. This, however, runs contrary to the rhetoric of some central bankers these days, among them Andy Haldane, the BoE's chief economist who has floated the idea of having the central bank issue its own digital cash as a means of combatting the zero lower bound. Haldane has also said central bank–issued digital currencies form a core part of the Bank's research agenda as a result.
