Well I went to WD and asked them about the files being backed up as ptl. files. They recommended a format of the ehd, and a fresh install. So I have been doing that for two day's. There are still files being backed up as ptl files. I can back space up to the png and click on the file and then it shows the image, but not the file name. It just gives a number and the png. This happens mostly in the template files. I found I can fix this, but am curious if anyone else has this problem?

Wendy Rae - I'm absolutely no help on this one. I've never heard of or seen a ptl file!! Sorry to hear you're going through this and hope it's worked out soon for you!

Have you scanned the registry for errors? Do you use Corel Paintshop Pro?
Posted 06 January 2010 - 04:11 PM
Hi Teri, I used to have Corel Paint Shop, but I have uninstalled it some time ago, about a year ago. I have not scanned the registry, only because I don"t have a clue as how to do it. I will have to wieght for DH to help me with that.
Thank you for your help, much appreciated.

Hi again Terri, I just did a registry clean, had over 600 files to get rid of. Still didn't fix the ptl. problem. DH says maybe that's WD way of compressing files. They all seem to be template files. Well they are also backed up on my D: drive and on dvd's. Hopefully I will never have to use them!
Thank you again

well from what i found out ptl extension is from a couple different programs paintshop pro being one of them. I have a Western Digital external hard drive but I've never used the back up function I use a windows tweak program to save the folders that I want saved. So I can't say if it's a way of compressing files or not.
Posted 06 January 2010 - 11:44 PM
Ok Terri, you have me curious, what is a windows tweak program, and where do you get it? Might be worth looking into.
Thank you so much for your input.

His asking price is baffling if true. I can't see anyone giving him more than $6 million a year.
you overpay in fa
For that price I say bye smith, for 6 or 7 I say resign
Last year starting caliber free agent corners got $10 million per season. If he takes $7 million, do it.
Teams that overpay for average talent don't win. They only get into cap hell down the line.
You overpay for elite talent or if you are 1-2 guys away from putting you in the Super Bowl hunt. Miami is much more than 1-2 guys away from competing for a SB.
All our FA's know that Ireland has a fistful of cash this year and they are all going to ask more than they are worth. Smith it worth no more than 5M per year and that is being generous IMO. The guy is way overrated by Dolphans....he isn't a very good corner. He started out good at the beginning of the year...but go back and look how many PI's he was getting. The guy can only cover if he interferes.
See ya, Sean!
A smart football team that hopes to compete WILL NEVER overpay for a player like Smith.
Sean Smith is the worst CB in the NFL at getting Interceptions. As the OP also states, Pro Football Focus charted him with more combined first downs and touchdowns allowed than any NFL cornerback in 2012.
So, he doesn't get turnovers and he is among the worst statistically at allowing TD's and 1st downs.
Do not overpay. If he truly wants to leave, draft a replacement, or sign one.

Church fined 10k for fake terrorist raid
A Pennsylvania church will pay a $10,000 fine, after staging a fake "terrorist raid" in which four men rushed into a youth group meeting and "kidnapped" the unknowing kids. Church officials said it was staged to show the children the perils missionaries face overseas.
Dauphin County authorities charged Glad Tidings Assembly of God of Lower Swatara Township and youth pastor Andrew Jordan with simple assault and false imprisonment.
First Assistant District Attorney Fran Chardo said Jordan will be allowed into the accelerated rehabilitative disposition program to avoid a criminal record. He will pay a $500 penalty, serve up to a year of probation and do 50 hours of community service.
Survey: Religious liberty finds double standard
A January poll by the Barna Group, a California think tank that studies American religion and culture, revealed a "double standard" among evangelicals on the question of religious liberty.
The poll showed Evangelicals were the religious group most likely to be concerned that religious liberties are under threat, at 71 percent, 97 percent of them agreed the threat comes from groups actively moving society away from traditional Christian values. The group's president, David Kinnamon, said evangelicals' concern over religious freedom is conflicted because "they also want Judeo-Christians to dominate the culture."
"They cannot have it both ways," he said. "This does not mean putting Judeo-Christian values aside, but it will require a renegotiation of those values in the public square as America increasingly becomes a multi-faith nation."

How to Wear Oxfords
And, I like to see the ankles! It keeps it feminine and casual.
Here's a few ideas to get you started, if you've never worn them before....
Wear oxfords with:
1. SKINNY JEANS or LOOSE JEANS or CROPPED PANTS.
-Just roll up the jeans a bit, if the pants are long.
-Wear with socks in a cute color or pattern (i.e. Stripes! Even bold ones, like these!)
-Or wear without socks.
-Add some tights. (I see this look every Sunday - many of my friends at church pair their vintage dresses with oxfords and tights. SO cute.)
-Or wear without socks on warm days.
-Add some tights (if still chilly). I love that look.
-Or wear without socks.
-This style won't show your ankles, but with super wide leg pants, I still love the look of a flat oxford underneath.

I love this post! And your blog in general. I agree with someone else that you should definitely post more fashion and beauty tips like these. They are just too fun! Also, I am going to Boston for my 10-year anniversary this year and would love tips from you and Danny on what to do while we're there. Maybe a potential blog post? Thanks for sharing your light!ReplyDelete
I love the oxfords but how the heck does Sienna Miller always manage to have the most amazing washes of jeans?! Seriously. Someone could probably do a blog based solely on her jeans.ReplyDelete
I bought some oxfords in the late 90's (think back to when swing dancing was in, I think oxfords were a very classic 40's look--J. Crew used to have some AMAZING saddle shoe type oxfords. I've even looked on line to see if I can find pics or even old pairs on ebay) Anyway...I loved these shoes. So comfy, so versatile and I wore them until I had holes in the soles. If I would have known how much I would love them I would have bought 10 pair. Come to think of it, I actually bought them in NYC on my very first visit. I definitely need to get some more.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the photos. Makes me think I could actually pull it off. Now to find out where I can try some on. (I live in the less than fashion forward part of Utah.) I'll simply have to plan a trip to NYC to visit my sister! Good reason for a get away; don't ya think. Thanks from the style challenged.ReplyDelete

Code: MT106
Price: $11.25
Theme: Breech Birth
As UK midwife Jane Evans says, breech birth is unusual, but it is not abnormal. For many mothers, a breech baby automatically means a cesarean. What has happened to cause vaginal breech birth to be a disappearing phenomenon? In this issue of Midwifery Today, you will be educated on breech skills, such as how to resolve obstructed breech birth by Gail Tully. Seven mothers share their own experiences in a special section dedicated to breech birth stories.
Articles include:
Thoughts about Breech Birth by Jan Tritten. The editor-in-chief of Midwifery Today magazine shares a few of her experiences with breech births and what she learned from them.
Studying Neonatal Mortality by Marion Toepke McLean. "For a midwife to study a baby's death, to go over the pregnancy and labor in detail is, I believe, a healthy practice."

Goslin then goes on to tell a couple of breech birth stories that illustrate how to handle breech complications.
Babies Are Born Where They Are Born: A Conversation with a Midwife about Not Handing Babies to Their Mothers, by Mary Esther Malloy. A wonderful argument about the importance of not disrupting the first moments after birth, but allowing the mother to meet her new baby in her own way and on her own time.
Breech Birth: Abnormal or Unusual? by Jane Evans. "Babies, whatever their position, are guided by the internal structures, bones, muscles and ligaments of the mother's pelvis, along with the movements both mother and baby make, working as a dyad from life in the womb to life in the outside world. These positions (ROA or OP) are unusual, not abnormal for birth and all are possible, though not necessarily optimal."
Breech Presentation at Term: Beyond the Dominant Strategies by Michel Odent. French obstetrician and natural childbirth advocate Michel Odent shares the importance of concepts, such as planned in-labor cesareans and the fetus ejection reflex, in regard to breech birth.
Identifying and Resolving Obstructed Breech Birth: When to Touch and When to Be Hands-free by Gail Tully. An educational article that not only covers the signs of obstructed breech birth, but also teaches the skills that best deal with resolving the situation.
The Breech Index Scoring System by Rahima Baldwin Dancy. This article gives midwives a practical way of determining the feasibility of attempting a breech delivery.
Breech Birth in a Taxi by Lina Duncan. Set in the Philippines, this is an exciting story of a breech birth under not-so-ideal circumstances.

The Microbiota Battle by LoriAnn Jones. "Without a doubt our arsenal of antibiotics has saved many lives, but with very limited understanding of our declared enemy, which is the vast pool of microbiotic life, are we creating terrible and dangerous beasts?"
Doulas: Action vs. Activism by Ricardo Herbert Jones. Author and Ob/Gyn Ricardo Herbert Jones discusses the doula situation in Brazil and his hopes of balancing political activism with thoughtful and appropriate childbirth assistance.
The Latest Research on Preconception and Prenatal Nutrition by Judy Slome Cohain. With plenty of research to back-up her claims, author Cohain provides a thoughtful look into the importance of exceptional prenatal care that centers on nutrition.

Switching to a new Certificate Authority for your SSL Certificates is not a simple process, but it is not nearly as complicated as your incumbent CA may suggest. The key to success is setting expectations and preparing yourself and others for what's involved, in terms of resources and costs.
This white paper aims to help organisations make an educated choice about their enterprise SSL needs by outlining the key aspects to take into consideration when evaluating current providers and dispelling the common myths that can intimidate organisations into complacency. The paper walks through the process of switching to a new CA, from the initial step of understanding your current environment, to figuring out what needs to be done, including estimating the overall time and cost involved.

New York, December 9, 2002—Liberian authorities released journalist Hassan Bility, whom authorities had held incommunicado since June 24 as a "prisoner of war."
According to news reports, Bility, editor of the independent weekly The Analyst, was released without being charged or tried. He left the country this weekend for an undisclosed location.
On December 1, the Liberian government issued a statement saying that Bility and his colleagues would be released if the U.S. Embassy agreed to take them out of the country.

Christians and Muslims have lived in peace for many years until we started meddling in their affairs after WW2. There may have been an occasion act of violence but nothing compared to what we have today!
Today's situation in Iraq is about the Shi'a and Sunni. Why the hell would we want to get involved with that?
It is big government interventionist like you that has led to the violence and depletion of our Treasury and loss of thousands of American soldiers and Marines for a failed political Foreign Policy!
The best thing we could do as Americans is to stay they hell out of their business and let them settle their issues. That's because what you advocate has no end to it and is a lose/lose for the USA. The more we kill, the more they bring to arms. Your solution only makes the USA and the world a more dangerous place!

There is a place just North of Eagle Wisconsin it is called the Ottawa Field Trial grounds. On a hill overlooking the grounds has been called "Morgan Hill", Charles Morgan and his last dog Rosie were at a sanction field trial on the grounds. The thing I remember most was Dr Kesky giving CPR to Mr. Morgan who had suffered a heart attack. He died on the hill and the hill forever was named Morgan Hill. Man am I older then dirt He was a great man , dog trainer and dog lover. Certainly ahead of his time.
Earl Dillow
On a annual basis there is a trophy at the Wisconsin Amateur Field Trial Club and it is called the Morgan Challenge Trophy. It is very large and was donated by Mr. Morgan to be awarded to the Derby Dog that has most points on a year to year basis in the Derby, both Licensed and Sanction trial points at any Wisconsin Trial or AARC Trial (Illinois). The only stipulation is the trophy cannot be awarded if there is a triple in the derby where the points are awarded. It is a large ugly trophy with a Lab on top with no tail long ago broken off.
A smaller trophy is awarded to keep for the dog/owner that it is awarded too. We have done some things in trials over the years but my proudest moments were recieving and have my name and dog engraved on that "old trophy" along with some very prominent dogs more then a few times. Mr. Morgan would be proud of the many great dogs that have appeared on the Morgan Challenge Trophy. I don't think however. he would like the way the derby has come as far as the tests. Just some trivia.
Earl Dillow
We have gone away from Natural marking to more confluted technical training marks where water cheating and long water entries have replaced the "there is the mark now go gettum" . The same thing on land where sometimes the guns are even retired or semi retired from the line and how far can we "run" 300 or 400 yard marks. Judging derby dogs is a art and should be judged by at least those who run a reasonable number of derbies. (The last is my opinion) I don't want to get into a thread on derby tests, lets save that for another thread it's about Mr. Morgan and his contributions to the sport.
Earl Dillow
From Charles Morgan on Retrievers, edited by Ann Fowler and D.L. Walters 1968.
There is no doubt that we have better handling dogs, better mechanical dogs today. There is absolutely no comparison. That is what everybody is working, what everybody is striving for. Today the dog isn't given a chance to hunt. You take a beginner, the amateur, his dog goes out, and if he doesn't hit the bird on the head, wel, he'll run out and grab the dog and push his nose down on it. I can't see how that is going to teach a young dog to mark. I don't think they are attempting to teach a dog to mark; they are just trying to expedite matters. They don't want to spend any more time. They just want to get to that phase of training when they can teach the dog to handle. They are itching to get to the self-entertainment act, the handling test.
We used to enjoy watching a stylish hunting dog. It was a pleasing sight. But today, in a trial, it's not so pleasing any more, because you know the dog is not going to be called back.
I ran a trial at Dover, Delaware, and Walter Roesler was the judge. I thought I was right up there with one of my dogs. But Jim Cowie had Bengal of Arden- I believe it was one of the Arden dogs- and that dog hunted and hunted and hunted. Walter Roesler got up on a stump to watch him hunt, and he watched him intently. I thought the dog would be picked up, but I lost the trial to him. I asked Mr. Roesler about it afterwards, and he said, "Chuck, that was the most beautiful job of hunting I have ever seen. It was wonderful, terrific." Well, I felt kind of shocked that I didn't win, but the more I thought about the courage of that statement, and the intelligence of it, the more I admired Walter Roesler. There was a dog who had all the hunt, all the style, you could want, and when he didn't hit the bird on the head, which is an element of luck, the dog put on a hunting exhibition that could not be ignored, and was given his just credit. We know there is an element of luck in pinpointing a bird. Some falls are more difficult to find than others, and I think judges often overlook this.
It is too bad. Hunting is one of the beautiful parts of dog work, and it is too bad that the dogs are not given a fair opportunity. Of course, the time element has hurt the field trials. It has made eliminating dogs a mania with some judges. When there is a big entry, all the judge can think of is to get the dog on that bird – time is a-wastinf, I have got to get through 60 dogs, it looks like rain, and it is getting dark. So his only thought is to cut down the field, and the first step a dog makes that the judge can even consider wrong, he is out.
We have gone through cycles, no doubt. The emphasis was on land for a time, then the water became more important; long retrieves were the vogue for a while, then the time element, and the increasingly large entries, caused the pendulum to swing the other way, to short snappy retrieves. Then the long lining dogs looked bad, and the judges would drool in their anticipation of what the short birds would do. We had channel blinds until they went out of vogue, and a thousand were then advanced why you should not send your dog down a channel. Who would in a day's hunt?
Brother, a trial is not to see what your dog would do in a day's hunt, but what he will do under extraordinary conditions, judged by unusual people, and watched by and unusual gallery. The hunting tests? Nonsense! It's the freakish field trial test.
On field trials and training for them Charlie Morgan further said:
The burden of blame for harsh treatment of dogs in training can be put squarely on the shoulders of the judges, who lay out absurd tests – down the channel, off the point, between the islands, skirting the shore. They are the last people in the world who can complain about the severe training methods of the professional. Hell, they are demanding it; the professional has no choice. And then they have the guts to say in hushed whispers to the owner of a dog who was dropped, that he had two or three whistle refusals, maybe even five or six. "See here in my book. It is written down." The owner wanted some explanation, since his dog had marked well, hunted well, and had had several perfect series.

She stocks her Smith Street boutique, Dear Fieldbinder, with an eclectic mix of established designers (Twinkle, Lauren Moffatt) and daring up-and-comers (Margarita Saplala, Maurie & Eve), as well as cute pieces from her own DF label. And, unlike many other boutiques that carry mostly high-end labels such as Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim, Dear Fieldbinder has plenty of affordable brands, such as Funktional and Motel Rocks, making shopping a relatively guilt-free experience. On a recent visit, we found a skull necklace by L.A.–based jewelry designer Vanessa Mooney for $31, the perfect black maxi skirt for fall by Aiko for $118, and an open-back cropped tunic by Grey Antics for $99. In other words, prepare to step into your dream closet. 198 Smith Street, Brooklyn, 718-852-3620, dearfieldbinder.com (11201)
Who likes to iron? Nobody. Which is why Steven Alan's signature rumpled look wins us over time and again. Since opening his first eponymous shop in Soho in 1994, Alan, a native New Yorker, has steadily expanded his empire with boutiques scattered across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and East Hampton as well as three stores in Los Angeles. His famous relaxed-fit button-downs, which come with reverse seams and twisted plackets, are perfect for the guy who wants to look fashionable without appearing as if he tried too hard. Alan also makes great skinny ties, comfortable trousers, casual jackets, duffle bags, vintage-inspired scarves—you name it. And everything proudly comes with the Made in the U.S.A. label. The shop also stocks top brands for men, such as Engineered Garments and Woolrich Woolen Mills, and a killer selection of vintage Rolexes. For the dude who hates to shop, a major plus is the friendly, knowledgeable staff, who direct their customers to the right fit and style. The store also offers excellent sample sales twice a year that are a must for great deals. And guys, Alan also has an excellent line for women—you know, just in case you want to buy something for your lady. 103 Franklin Street, 212-343-0692, go to stevenalan.com for more locations (10013)
We know some salons today can be a bit gimmicky—they're more interested in selling their brands than the service. Blackstones does the same thing on its website, which seems to double as a video game with multi-clickable options. But don't let that stop you from booking an appointment at this East Village salon. The stylists are obviously the main draw, led by owner Joey Silvestera, a taxidermist-turned-hairdresser. (A-ha! Now the deer and bear heads mounted on the wall make sense.) He has an impressive team of hipster hair-doers, cutely clothed with the locks to match. Instead of taking in a picture of Jennifer Aniston in order to emulate her latest hair craze, you'll want to look just like these lovely hair-cutters. Silvestera also launched his own line of hair products, which work perfectly to complement your new look. 19 East 7th Street, 212-353-2680, blackstonesnyc.net (10003)
When Giorgio Zocco (a/k/a Sal the Barber) died last year, it was feared that his Sal's Barbershop, a Carroll Gardens institution for more than three decades, would be lost forever. Enter television producer Steve Marks, who fell in love with all the old-school charm (such as the shop's classic red chairs, striped barber's pole, and—the pièce de résistance—a mural of a tropical coastline). With the blessings of the Zocco family, Marks kept most of it intact, lending a retro feel to his barbershop, Persons of Interest. Grab a complimentary Brooklyn Lager and have a seat in one of those red chairs to get a first-rate cut from one of the shop's stylish barbers. Although Sal's nice price of $20 for a haircut is gone, the cost is still reasonable: Haircuts are now $40, or treat yourself right and get the Combo Platter: a shave and a haircut for $75. 299 Smith Street, Brooklyn, 718-858-5300, personsofinterestbklyn.com (11231)
Since starting her business out of her Lower East Side apartment in 2005, jewelry designer Erica Weiner has quickly become the lady to seek out for vintage-inspired treasures at the most affordable prices. Her devoted fans rejoiced last fall when she opened her first brick-and-mortar shop, an intimate space in Nolita where antique wooden furnishings nicely complement her eclectic mix of vintage pieces and hand-cast reproductions of jewelry she has found on her travels to estate sales, auction houses, and flea markets in the U.S. and Europe. If you're looking for a gift, it's easy to find something to match anyone's style: Your utilitarian friend will appreciate the functionality of a vintage bottle opener on a chain ($100–$170); the hopeless romantic will cherish a brass forget-me-not ring made from a 19th-century Scottish wax seal ($80); and the nature-lover will adore a pair of dainty 1970s butterfly earrings ($25). About to tie the knot? The shop specializes in antique engagement and wedding rings for women and men, starting at the nice price of $110 for a Herkimer diamond solitaire. To that, we say, "I do!" 173 Elizabeth Street, 212-334-6383, ericaweiner.com (10012)

You are all pretty aware that I had a yucky day yesterday...
I think I'm PMSing. (which may or may not be known for making me a little crazy) I'm not really sure (about the PMSing) though because I don't actually "Get" my period since having the IUD placed..
I know!! It's great! And for more reasons than the obvious...
Now, because we don't know when I'm "in" that week of PMSing, I always have an excuse for being a psycho!!
Anyway.. I had a crappy day. I had lots to do, and I
Sure, I probably could have gotten more done, but ... I didn't.
What did I get done?
I got the dishes all done, the house vacuumed, the floors mopped. The windows and all glass was Windexed. The main floor washroom was cleaned, 3 loads of laundry were folded, the backyard was tidied up, the flowers and grass in the back was watered, my kids were fed, twice. My kids were played with.My kids were dressed.Toys were picked up about 50 times. I wrote a blog post, read some blogs, and spent half an hour sitting in the sun..
I felt pretty good about my day.
I had planned on sitting out in the sun for 30 minutes while the girls napped. Then, I was going to come in, shower, water the front flowers, and fold some more laundry.
On my way in, I got a message stating that we were going to have company in 20 minutes..
So, I tidied up the laundry that was out, and woke up the girls..
The company came and we had a nice visit. Peter got home while they were still there. (which was fine because it was his family)
In my head, I was thinking "Obviously when you walked in, you saw that I didn't get to watering those flowers, so why bother asking!"...
When I said "no", I didn't get much of a response.. When I tried to explain why I didn't get to it, I still didn't get much of a response... then I got mad...
I understand that we had a busy weekend. I understand that he worked all day and was extremely tired, but I also understand that I was tired, and worked all day as well...
No one said that he HAD to water the flowers, but even if he did... it would have been the only thing he had to do.
He didn't have to make the girls dinner, he didn't have to bathe them, he didn't have to get them ready for bed, and he didn't have to tuck them in and read them bedtime stories...he didn't have to finish the laundry.
I gladly would have watered the flowers if he wanted to do all that...
I know that I'm probably being a little crazy,, but why does something that I didn't get to, have to be pointed out before all of the things that I did do??
And why am I so mad? Why am I so defensive?
Obviously it's because I'm feeling guilty, because I know that I probably did have the time to water those stinking flowers but chose to sit outside instead..
So what did I do?? I stopped talking to him, slammed a couple of doors, stomped around mad, got the watering can, and watered the flowers.. It took me all of 5 minutes..
So, now as I sit here typing this, I question whether I am mad at him, for asking a dumb question, and pointing out something that I didn't do rather than all that I did do, or am I mad at myself for not taking time to do the few little things that I could have.. Am I defensive because I know I should have done it?? I most certainly am.. My poor hubby!!
Do you ladies ever do this? I totally caused an argument because of my own guilt..
Was I wrong to do that, or is it just something that women do??
Even if I was wrong, it shouldn't have been a big deal that the flowers weren't watered!!!
I don't think I'm going to say "I'm Sorry", but I'll let it go.. for now!

Media watch
The world of dance criticism has likewise been in turmoil. In February, Boston Herald dance writer Theodore Bale announced he was leaving the paper after it had refused to let him review Alvin Ailey or Bill T. Jones and was hedging on Boston Ballet's Romeo & Juliet. And this past week, the Village Voice sent Deborah Jowitt, for four decades one of dance writing's most authoritative voices, packing. The Voice will, it appears, fill her space with freelance copy.
Boston Ballet 2008–2009
Boston Ballet has just announced its 2008–2009 season, with The Sleeping Beauty, James Kudelka's Cinderella, a Jirí Kylián program, a Ballets Russes program, and George Balanchine's evening-length Jewels — arguably the most important ballet creation of the past 50 years. All productions save for The Nutcracker will be at the Wang Theatre. Here's the line-up:
CINDERELLA [James Kudelka] | October 16–26THE NUTCRACKER | November 28–December 27"BLACK AND WHITE": Jirí Kylián's Petite Mort, No More Play, Sarabande, Falling Angels, and Six Dances | February 12–15JEWELS [George Balanchine] | February 26–March 8THE SLEEPING BEAUTY | April 23–May 3"DIAGHILEV'S BALLETS RUSSES CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION": The Prodigal Son [George Balanchine], The Afternoon of a Faun [Vaslav Nijinsky], Le Spectre de la Rose [Michel Fokine], Le Sacre du Printemps [Jorma Elo] | May 14–17
It's been a roller-coaster six weeks at Boston Ballet. Back on Valentine's Day, as the company opened its production of John Cranko's Romeo & Juliet, it was also making the decision to downsize. In early March, the Ballet announced that executive director Valerie Wilder would be leaving at the end of the season ("I am exploring a number of exciting opportunities in the nonprofit world") and that artistic director Mikko Nissinen would serve as interim executive director while the company conducted the search for her replacement. A week later, Boston Ballet confirmed that it would be laying off nine dancers, reducing the troupe from 50 to 41. And this past Thursday, Nissinen revealed that, starting in 2009, the company will leave its home of the past 30 years, the 3600-seat Wang Theatre, for the 2500-seat Opera House. It's not a short-term move, either: Boston Ballet has signed a 30-year agreement with Live Nation, which owns and operates the Opera House.
The rupture between Boston Ballet and the Citi Performing Arts Center — both nonprofits — opened in 2004, when the Citi Center, which operates both the Wang Theatre and the Shubert Theatre, notified the Ballet that it would not renew its contract for The Nutcracker. The company's production of the Tchaikovsky holiday classic had been one of the world's most attended (drawing upward of 140,000 each season) and most lucrative, but it wasn't enough of a moneymaker for the Citi Center, which replaced it with The Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes in even-numbered years and Irving Berlin'sWhite Christmas in odd. Boston Ballet scrambled to redo The Nutcracker for the 1700-seat Colonial Theatre in 2004; in 2005, the production moved to the Opera House. The rest of the Ballet's season — five productions filling eight weekends, with 42 performances — remained at the Wang. This year, after that contract expired and negotiations for a new one broke down (the Ballet wanted to move The Nutcracker back to the Wang; Citi declined), Boston Ballet decided to make the Opera House its home for all performances.

The combine will feature speed drills, position-specific drills, and one-on-one matchups. Several top prospects will be attending, including many with Division-I offers.
Eric Glover-Williams: The Canton McKinley athlete is one of the top 2015 prospects in the Midwest, and he already holds offers from Ohio State, Tennessee, Kentucky, Nebraska, and others. Much like Jalin Marshall, Glover-Williams will not be a quarterback at the next level, so it will be fun to see him running routes.
Shaun Crawford: Will be battling Glover-Williams in the 2015 rankings in Ohio, and his speed is legendary. Although the Lakewood St. Edward star plays both sides of the football, Crawford is projected as a defensive back at the next level. Holds offers from Illinois and Tennessee.
Alonzo Saxton: One of the top defensive back prospects in the 2014 class in Ohio, the Columbus Bishop Hartley cornerback is known for his coverage skills. Offers from Purdue, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and others.
Joseph Henderson: The Shaker Heights linebacker/defensive end is always a strong combine performer. Henderson holds offers from the likes of Michigan, Illinois, Louisville, Pittsburgh, and others.
Jamal Davis: The Canton McKinley linebacker holds four offers to date, and he recently added Louisville to his offer list.
Cody Callaway: One of the top quarterback prospects in Ohio for 2014, Callaway currently holds four MAC offers. BCS offers could be headed his way soon.
Ja'Merez Bowen: The Shaker Heights offensive tackle is a top 2014 prospect. Holds offers from the likes of UCLA, Indiana, Louisville, and others.
Dorian Baker: The Cleveland Heights wide receiver is having an impressive winter conditioning season, and college coaches have taken notice. Holds BCS offers from Pittsburgh and Minnesota.
Colin Lisa: The wide receiver will once again be traveling from Georgia to attend the event. Lisa holds three offers, including UAB.
Odell Spencer: One of the best kept secrets in Ohio, the Shaker Heights wideout is a top 2014 prospect in-state. Holds an offer from Akron, and more should be coming his way.
Also scheduled to work out are Greg Claytor (Shaker Heights), Nolan Jackson-Daniel (Shaker Heights), Eric Simpson (Cleveland Glenville), Matt McShane (Walsh Jesuit), Dylan Mabin (Nordonia), Jack Walz (Lakewood St. Edward) and Cameron Bell (Nordonia).
FOXSportsNEXT will also be there next Saturday in Warrensville Heights covering all the action.

text: With regards to the Force FX Sabers (since that's what I'm most interested in anyway) I would like the question answered (not necessarily the suggestion about improving the designs, I just want to know what's happening with the line). If what JJL says is true, then I suppose the question could be stricken, but I went through as many SDCC write ups as I could find and none of them even mentioned the line at all. As JT said, it would be interesting to know why the line has stopped being represented at these events and why they are no longer making new models but if I'm the only one around here who cares, the time should probably be spent elsewhere. My personal sense is that this was one of the truly adult-centric items Hasbro produced (and as far as I can tell was relatively popular) but has fallen by the wayside. And frankly, if they blame poor sales, I blame them for Kit Fisto's lightsaber before any number of infinitely more recognizable sabers with the removable blade.

| In conjunction with an investigation of the influence lobbyists have on the Obama administration, The Washington Post has released a database that registers the more than 2.2 million guestbook entries that have been made by those passing in and out of the White House between January 2009 and January 2012. The massive trove gives a keyhole look at what it's like to live, work, and socialize in one of the centers of American power. The White House is part office building, part residence, and part stage on which the drama of national and global politics is played out. From state dinners to powwows with corporate titans to movie screenings with Steven Spielberg, this easily searchable database allows anyone to cast a magnifying glass over the comings and goings around the nation's president.
The Daily Beast collects the highlights from the White House guest book.

| The Sultan of Silicon Valley hosted the first official "town hall" gathering for Obama's reelection push in April 2011 at Facebook's Palo Alto, Calif., headquarters, and Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes was a key figure in shaping the Illinois senator's new-media campaign leading up to the 2008 election. The Zuck and vice president of communications Elliot Schrage stopped by the White House in July 2008 for a meeting with senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.

| The media mogul, talk-show host, and philanthropist seems to have seen more of Michelle than Barack, logging two of her five White House visits with the first lady. After rumors swirled that Winfrey wouldn't endorse Obama—or any candidate—for fear it may cause viewers of her own network to tune out, she told reporters in January 2012 that she was "proud" of the president and backed him "100 percent."

| After plumbing the ocean's deepest depths, taking a trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue probably seems a little blasé. The Canadian director and explorer said in a recent interview with The New York Times that he feels "a sense of disappointment in Obama that promises were not kept." The Titanic director made an "Oval Office drop-by" in April 2010.

| The archbishop of New York and prince of the Catholic Church talked regularly about his visits to the White House after a contretemps over birth control put him at odds with the president earlier this year. The avuncular Dolan has been to the White House on five occasions, according to the guest logs.

| We don't know what Obama calls Hewson, but most of the world knows him as Bono. The Dublin rocker has collaborated with the president on his AIDs activism and other social issues, and rose to Obama's defense in the opinion pages of The New York Times in 2009 after Obama was awarded a Nobel Prize. Bono has checked in at the White House four times according to the logs. The color of the sunglasses he was wearing on each occasion was not recorded.

| The New Yorker editor and former Washington Post reporter has impeccable Obama credentials, even if his decision to run a satirical cover that caricatured Barack and Michelle Obama's sharing a terrorist fist bump had him making explanatory talk-show rounds back in 2008. The author of the minutely reported The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama seems to have made his peace with the president, however. Remnick shows up on two dates in the guest book, including a March 2011 "Lunch With POTUS."

| The JPMorgan chief executive was considered more or less lily-white among Wall Street, and the Democrat has been called Obama's "favorite banker." But Dimon fell from grace recently when it came to light that his bank had lost some $2 billion in a series of trades that went bust, making it clear to many that Wall Street truly is incapable of self-regulation. "Jamie Dimon" appears in the White House logs, but the majority of the banker's visits—more than a dozen of them—can be found under "James Dimon."

| To those who fret over the ties between government and the financial industry, the multiple visits paid by the Goldman Sachs CEO to the White House have long been a sign that the tentacles of the vampire squid have too tight a grasp on the executive branch. And while its reputation may have been somewhat dimmed with the rest of the banking industry, the chief of what is still fairly called the Street's most venerable firm clearly has an ear in the Oval Office. Blankfein has been to the White House 14 times, according to the logs, visiting with Lawrence Summers and Valerie Jarrett, as well as the president. Blankfein most recently popped by in January 2011.

Family: Trochilidae, Hummingbirds view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has gray-green upperparts overall, darkest on tail (which has white tips to outer feathers) and with paler, bronze rump. Underparts appear gray for most of time, but stunning blue throat is revealed at certain angles. Note also the white stripe behind the eye, and white malar stripe. ADULT FEMALE Similar plumage overall, but gray throat lacks male's iridescence. JUVENILE Similar to adult female, but with buff fringes to many feathers; acquires adult characters by winter.
Dimensions Length: 4 1/2 -5" (11-13 cm)
Habitat Locally fairly common summer visitor (mainly May-Sep) to a restricted area of southeastern Arizona, where it favors shady wooded canyons comprising pine and oak; found in similar locations to Elegant Trogon and Painted Redstart. Winters in Central America.
Observation Tips Views are typically brief when seen in favored breeding habitat, but fortunately it frequently visits well-established canyon feeders and announces its presence with sharp calls.
Range Texas, Southwest
Voice Utters a high-pitched tseek, both in flight and when perched.
Discussion A giant among North American hummingbirds and the largest of its kind in North America. Plumage looks rather subdued overall in terms of color, but just occasionally male is transformed when iridescent throat catches the light at the right angle. Often seen at feeders alongside Magnificent when relatively shorter bill is noticeable. When hovering, relatively long tail is often fanned and looks rounded, and wingbeats are noticeably slower than with other, smaller hummingbirds. Sexes are dissimilar.

Derailing the hype train of RG3. I like the kid, but I hate all the hype attached to ANY ROOKIE with only seven games under their belt.
The play of Larry Foote. I was a little worried earlier in the season at his play. He is the captain and leadership icon in this defense right now. And his play is showing it. He was all over the field. He now leads the team in tackles and sacks.
On the PR it was on the first man down and it was a good call. Funny thing is that it looked like Brown could have gotten by him anyway but we will never know.
On the Brown play, he wasn't getting hit. I could see Brown's complete body and the lane between him and the endzone. Before he caught the punt, I told people he was running this one back.
I think we're getting so many flags, the refs plan to throw flags against us before the game.

I'm a member of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metro Golden Retriever Club, host for the 2013 GRCA National in Wichita Falls, TX Oct 20-30th.
Our website for the National is up and running: http://2013national.com/index.htm The Judges have been announced and can be seen by clicking "Judges" on the left-hand side of the site. Click on "Schedule of Events" to see all events day by day. Hotel reservations can be made now, too. For those of you just attending the Field Trial or WC/WCX, the closest hotel to the grounds is the Best Western Henrietta. For those of you competing in other events too, the other hotels listed in Wichita Falls are only about 30 minutes away - so an easy drive.
We are selling raffle tickets online and at the National for a spectacular, one-of-a-kind quilt done by Arlene Blouch and Marj Deupree. We had special permission from stain glass artist (and golden breeder) Alison Desmarais to use her stained glass designs in the quilt. You can take a look here: http://2013national.com/raffles.htm It has been appraised at $3,000. I donated it memory of my boy, Scout. Some of you may remember reading about him in this thread : http://www.retrievertraining.net/for...t=scout+fluffy The winning raffle ticket will be drawn at the Field Trial Award Dinner, so that everyone attending the Field Trial can also get a chance to see it in person.
I will be posting more updates as we have them, and you can always post questions here. If I don't know the answer, I will find out for you.
We can't wait to welcome "all y'all" to Texas!

The Interdominion may be changed forever, but the equation remains the same for punters - find the winner.
So here is a look at the leading 10 chances going into Saturday's frenetic night of five heats, run in four different cities, to try to find the best chance of winning the March 3 final at Menangle.
Terror To Love (New Zealand): Dual New Zealand Cup winner so will thrive over the 3000m mobile of the final.
Has been outstanding this campaign and likes to sit just off a hot speed so final looks perfect for him.
Hasn't done a thing wrong all season.
Caribbean Blaster (Victoria): Victoria Cup winner who has group one winning form at Menangle, winning last season's Chariots Of Fire.
At his best when he can stalk the leaders and swoop so big track and distance suits.
Has had slight setback this week but unlikely to be an issue in two weeks.
Mah Sish (New Zealand): Has been a huge mover this season after getting as long as $100 in this market.
Has won Ballarat and Hunter Cups at last two starts, the latter in a brilliant and brave display. Trained and driven by the Butt brothers, who are masters at Interdominions.
I'm Themightyquinn (West Australia): Two-time defending Interdom champion who has surprisingly lost four of his past five.
At his best is a sensational sit-sprinter and trainer adamant he is working as well as ever.
Would be a fitting finale to career but still too short in the market because of poor Eastern States form.
Smoken Up (Victoria): Magnificent veteran who loves Menangle, where he paced Australian record 1:48.5 mile.
May be lacking an ounce of the speed he had two seasons ago but over 3000m mobile likely to be leading at some stage and simply doesn't stop.
The Gold Ace (New Zealand): Best known as a sprinter this season but has the genius Tony Herlihy in the sulky, who has more major staying race wins than any driver in Australasian history.
Has gate speed to make own luck in the final.
Bitobliss (Victoria): Has had an interrupted summer but spring form was superb.
Could be the big mover in the next two weeks.
Sir Lincoln (New Zealand): Auckland Cup winner who can dominate three-horse heat this Saturday.
Has had tricky season but likes Menangle and could be the long odds bolter coming right at the right time.
Excel Stride (NSW): Has been disappointing this campaign but should be getting fitter and does have Menangle's leading driver in Luke McCarthy. Still too short on fixed odds, though.
Karloo Mick (NSW, $31): The grand-daddy of Australian pacing burst back to form in the Australia Day Cup and will love a hard 3000m around the big track.

text: As a newbie, I'm going to attend my clubs (recently joined) HRC event in September. I've never been to a HT or FT. I do want to do a little observing; however, I am more than willing to do my part in helping. I hear of "good" bird throwers and such. As a newbie who has never done any of this, what can I do (and not screw up) to help? Just trying to get an idea of what I can expect. I'm going to try and get with the VP of the club, who's also going to train my pup, and see if I can come watch him train between now and Sept to get some sort of idea. I'm also going to try and get to another club's HT to observe as well.

U.S. Army lawyer to speak on Afghans' future
Posted March 5, 2008; 01:20 p.m.
U.S. Army Col. Manuel Supervielle, former general counsel for U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan, will present a talk titled "Challenges and Opportunities: Afghans Must Choose Their Future" at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 13, in 16 Robertson Hall.
From 2005 to 2006, Supervielle led a team of more than 60 lawyers in the combat zone in Afghanistan, where he helped create an Afghan army legal corps and military judicial system. He advised Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his cabinet ministers concerning new laws essential for strengthening the rule of law, human rights, due process and protection of detainees.
Supervielle has traveled to more than 60 nations around the world, often negotiating international agreements on behalf of the U.S. government in countries such as Vietnam, Madagascar, the Philippines and Argentina. Among his numerous assignments, he has served as general counsel for all U.S. Army forces in Latin America and as general counsel to emergency disaster relief task forces in Western Samoa and Bangladesh.
The event is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination.

In our third edition of Trend spotting we stick with our suggestion at the end of March to up European exposure and we review the recent market moves and macro trends. We comment on the recent strong performance of our growth, quality and momentum styles which we expect to continue and we examine what happened to sectors around the last general election period in 2015, adding some new colour.

A multi-branded, leading fashion eCommerce business, set for at least 50% growth yet again
A year of upgrades has been topped by yet another sales and earnings beat. Full year sales of £295m are up 51%, with growth accelerating across all regions in H2. This impressive top line performance converted to a 90% increase in EBITDA to £35.6m and a 97% increase in PBT to £30.9m, driven by overhead efficiencies as the group grows. The complementary acquisitions of PrettyLittleThing and the Nasty Gal brand transform the business into a multi-branded proposition. This, alongside investment in range extension and impressive international expansion, underpins our expectations for continued strong growth of at least 50% top line throughout 2017. Active customers have risen 29% to 5.2m, with solid improvement continuing across all KPIs. Despite significant capital investment, totalling £30.7m in the year, boohoo's balance sheet remains robust with net cash of £58.4m at the year end. We upgrade our FY18 expectations by c.12% and continue to see potential for significant profitable growth going forwards.

N+1 Singer - Boohoo.com - Strong continuing momentum in BOO and PLT, cautious start for NG
Today's figures are clear evidence of both Boohoo's successful business model and growth strategy, with PBT/EPS doubling in FY17, c2% better than forecast. The balance sheet remains strong with unchanged net cash of £58m despite the acquisition and increased capex spend. Guidance today signals sales/EBITDA growth in FY18 in line with our current forecasts, with higher Pretty Little Thing growth expected (both sales and EBITDA) offset by more modest Nasty Gal growth. Management has taken a lot on with the opportunistic acquisition of the latter, so we are relieved that guidance is prudent as they manage any execution risk and establish the platform for future growth. A lot of the recent re-rating has been well justified but we wonder if the market was hoping for a sizeable upgrade today.

Reassuring FY17 finals and outlook
In line FY17 results (across the board) and management endorsing FY18 market expectations is reassuring, although well reflected in the valuation, in our view, given the recent rally. ~11x FY18 EV/EBITDA adequately reflects embedded value within WTB's core two brands, but with waning UK consumer dynamics likely to cap near-term growth prospects (PGe 8% FY18-20 EPS CAGR), hence our HOLD rating.

Final results due 10th May
We anticipate a robust set of results from Vertu on 10th May, and expect to see continued progress in its core businesses of used cars and aftersales. We believe our forecasts for the coming year (Feb 2018) are very conservative, particularly following a record Q1 period of new car registrations seen in the wider industry. However, we would anticipate this backdrop to get tougher from here. We believe the near-term valuation remains compelling and very attractive, with the current market capitalization largely asset backed with a progressive 3% dividend yield on offer at present and a normalized FCF yield (from 2020) in excess of 10%.

N+1 Singer - Carpetright - Tougher conditions leaves forecasts towards lower end of range
In the 12 week period to 22 April, Carpetright reports that LFL sales were ahead 1.4% in the UK and 1.4% in Europe. This performance is slightly shy of our expectations due mainly to a weaker trading environment (N+1E +3% and +5% respectively) albeit a further 6% of the UK estate has been refurbished vs prior guidance which will have created a bit of additional drag from disruption in the period and which is positive for FY18 and beyond. Critically, those stores that have annualised new competitor Tapi openings traded well into positive LFL territory, which is a key milestone in the turnaround. Whilst trading this week could change the outcome, FY17 forecasts are likely to be reduced by 4%. Given the accumulating self-help and accelerated refurbs we don't envisage changing outer year forecasts.

N+1 Singer - Goals Soccer Centres - A potentially exciting corporate development
Potentially a positive corporate development at Goals this morning. The company has confirmed weekend press speculation that it is examining a combination with its key competitor Powerleague. Discussions appear to be at an early stage and it is difficult to second-guess what the terms of an eventual deal will be and whether a fund raise would be required. Strategically and financially a tie-up would make huge sense given how competitive the 5-a-side football sector has become with the resurgence of the local authority sector. Between them Goals and Powerleague operate c.100 centres and thus a combination would give them significant UK market leadership as well presence in Ireland, Netherlands and the USA. The main risk we envisage is whether any tie-up would trigger any competition issues and how these might be addressed. Powerleague was acquired by Patron Capital Partners in 2009 for an EV of £80m (c8x EV/EBITDA). We are currently buyers of Goals on new management / strategy considerations. Today's news has the potential to further enhance shareholder value. We reinforce our Buy and 140p 12m TP.

Catfish Goodell by drafting Manti with our imaginary 2nd First round pick
a) During month of April, start sending Goodell emails with pics of a random cheerleader
b) Initiate "late-night" phone calls to his office. Perhaps pay Channing Crowder as accomplice? Have him employ that "towel-on-head" locker-room look.
c) Transition to phone sex using a girly voice (***IMPORTANT! Not more than 1 phone call per night - Too much phone sex = hearing aids)
d) Decline to meet until AFTER Fins have selected their 2nd pick in round 1. Harp on this point
e) Run to the podium on draft day, during round 1, just before Patriots selection
f) Distract Goodell by having Crowder emerge from the side of the stage during selection

Journal Journal: Anti Incumbent Results 102
We've been told by the majority of the of the media that there was an anti-incumbent feeling nationwide. Lets look at some numbers.
In the house 43 incumbents lost their seats, 2 of them being Republican and 41 being Democrat. In the senate we also have none of the Republicans in the general election losing their seat compared to 6 of the Democrat seats lost (as of this writing, 2 yet to be determined).
The numbers don't look like an anti-incumbent feeling to me. They look like anti-Democrat.
