Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
Fresh off a victory at the SBS Tournament of Champions, Justin Thomas continued his otherworldly play and opened the Sony Open in Hawaii with a record setting 59. Thomas became the 7th player in PGA Tour history to break 60 and the youngest player in PGA Tour history to do so.
Thomas continued his onslaught across the Hawaiian Islands in the second round with a six under par 64. His two day total of 123 is the lowest in PGA Tour history. In the third round Thomas shot a bogey free five under par 65 to take a seven stroke lead into the final round. Thomas cruised to the finish line with a four under par round to win by seven.
This is JT's third victory in his last five starts!
Thomas relies on the classic styling and structured performance of FJ ICON MyJoys golf shoes as well as the FJ Pure Touch Limited golf glove week in and week out on the PGA Tour.
Justin averaged 314.5 yards off the tee this week. In the following video, PGA Teaching Professional Mark Blackburn and Biomechanics expert Dr. Sasho Mackenzie dissect the young bombers footwork to better understand how he generates such blistering speed in his golf swing.
Justin Thomas won the SBS Tournament of Champions with a final round 69 to win by three over his closest pursuant. The round was highlighted by a brilliant birdie on 17th that extended his lead to three strokes.
Justin stated post round, "I felt like a proved a lot, it's a great start to the new year and hopefully a sign of good things to come." Justin also touched on his beloved alma mater, the Alabama Crimson Tide and their national title game tomorrow, stating simply, "halfway there..."
This is Justin's second win of the 2016-2017 PGA Tour season and third PGA Tour victory overall. The win also moves Justin to the twelfth spot on the Official World Golf Rankings, his highest position to date.
Justin relies on the structured performance of FJ ICON MyJoys to harness his prodigious power. Justin also puts his trust in the Pure Touch Limited golf glove.
At our recent TV Shoot Justin took part in the FJ Stock Cart Challenge, enjoy!
- Inspired by Contour, the best selling golf shoe category of all time -
From FJ, the #1 Shoe in Golf, comes a radical upgrade to the iconic Contour Series line of golf shoes. Recognized as the best selling shoe franchise of all time, Contour was created with the singular focus on comfort, and that dedication continues with the latest innovation, ContourFIT.
Building on the successful heritage of the Contour Series franchise, FJ reimagined the entire category from a blank sheet of paper. From the last to the laces, ContourFIT was born from an obsession with comfort so the golfer could experience Comfort That Never Quits.
Loyal Contour customers will still experience the same consistent fit and reliability they expect from the Contour franchise, greatly enhanced by significant and noticeable upgrades from top to bottom that result in a lighter, more flexible and more comfortable shoe.
Starting from the ground, the new DynaFlex outsole – engineered with TPU- has been designed to flex naturally with the foot. Each flex groove is strategically placed to provide maximum flexibility and mobility.
Next is the FTF 3.0 midsole - our softest and lightest midsole compound - for underfoot comfort and cushioning while still ensuring the golfer has appropriate lateral support and stability.
Cradling the foot is a newly designed FitBed that is thick, soft and breathable to ensure all day comfort.
The top of the shoe features a new U-throat design to give the player a more generous fit and a new integrated Achilles heel pad that delivers support and comfort while also working with the connected comfort tongue to lock the foot into the shoe for a precise fit.
Finally, the entire package is wrapped in a contemporary take on a 'contourian' upper design utilizing soft, full grain waterproof leather in the vamp and performance synthetic material in the saddle and quarter that FJ warrants will be 100% waterproof in normal use for two years.
As with all FJ shoes, the customer should expect out-of-the-box comfort with ContourFIT. When properly fit, FJ shoes should never require a "break-in" period and should be enjoyed from the first wear to the last.
"With a very successful category like Contour, the tendency is to implement minor enhancements over the life of the product, but that's not something we subscribe to at FootJoy," said Doug Robinson. "From the moment a product is created, we start looking for ways to enhance absolutely every detail - from the overall design and materials, to every stitch and groove, to the laces and cleats."
"ContourFIT, while inspired by the Contour Series family of shoes, is dramatically improved over the prior generations and we believe will excite not only the lifetime Contour wearer, but also any comfort-seeker who tries it on for the first time."
FEATURES and BENEFITS
Chances are pretty good that your golf shoes are not properly fit. It's nothing personal.....it's just the facts! Through thousands of fittings we've conducted across the United States, Europe and Asia, we have found that 70% of golfers we fit are in the wrong size golf shoe. For most, the shoes are too big, and almost always, too wide. Do you regularly experience blisters on your feet? Are you able to slide your shoes off without untying the laces? Do you feel your feet sliding around inside of your shoes? Are the top two eyelets of your shoes very close together, or even touching? These are just a few signs that your shoes may be too large.
I can personally attest to this. When I first started at FJ I thought blisters were a part of the game and needed to be endured when breaking in a pair of shoes. Throughout my High School and College golf careers most players carried bandages and tape in their bags for the inevitability of a blister. One of my first days on the job, I was quickly informed my shoes were the wrong size! Sitting with one of our fitters for a few minutes it was readily apparent that I didn't know the size of my own feet! Within minutes, I moved from an 10 Wide to a 10.5 Narrow and my feet have never been happier. I have been blister and pain free for 5 years and counting.
A properly fit golf shoe is essential for you to play and feel your best on the golf course. If your feet are moving around inside of the shoe you will not be able to maximize your energy into the golf ball. Your feet and body will fatigue faster than someone who has a properly fit golf shoe. It is a small simple change that can improve your game, your well being, and your overall enjoyment out on the course!
Feet do change over time and just because you have been wearing the same size for the past several years doesn't mean they are the right size golf shoes for you! It's worth checking, just to be sure.
The next time you visit the course, or your local golf shop, ask your shop associate about getting fit for your next pair of FJ golf shoes.
PGA Tour Rookie, Mackenzie Hughes emerged from a five man playoff to take home the RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club. Hughes shot an opening round of 9-under par 61 to take the early lead and never looked back. He held the lead or share of the lead after each round of competition.
When the final putt dropped on Sunday five players were tied a top the leaderboard. In the fading light of day they headed to a sudden death playoff. They could only squeeze in two holes and a winner was not determined. The four players that were left headed to the par 3 17th hole on Monday morning to determine the champion. Hughes holed an 18 foot par save on and no one could match making Hughes the winner.
This is the young Canadians first PGA Tour victory.
Hughes relied on the Pro/SL golf shoe throughout the week in Sea Island.
The win earns Hughes an invite into the 2017 Tournament of Champions and the 2017 Masters Tournament.

A team of US nuclear experts arrived in North Korea today led by Sung Kim, head of the State Department's Office of Korean affairs. Their task is implementing accords reached regarding dismantling of North Korea's nuclear weapon capabilities. According to Christopher Hill who played an important role in negotiations, "Now we are not going to get to normalized full diplomatic relations until North Korea gives up all of its nuclear ambitions and that the last 50 kilos of materials that they already got." At the same time, Hill recognized Japan's inability to obtain cooperation from the North Korean government about abductions of Japanese citizens who were kidnapped and brought to North Korea. Hill indicated they would have to proceed with the nuclear dismantling program despite not being able to achieve all goals of negotiation.
The United States insists that nations which are hostile to its national goals must accomplish certain tasks before being considered to be worthy of participating as an equal in world bodies. One can only wonder if the corollary is also true — that the United States must also meet goals before it is recognized as a humane and peaceful society. Does the world have a right to insist America dismantle its military operations in Iraq?

It's obvious that the thermostat is doing its job but why does it go so low? Is this common? If not what is the cause?

Theatre camp perfect for young performers
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | July 18. 2013 9:10PM
Campers at this year's Triple Threat Theatre Camp rehearsed a song and dance number from "13- The Musical" Thursday morning at the Londonderry Dance Academy. The three-week camp will conclude with a free performance at Windham High School on Friday, July 26. The public is welcome to attend the show, which will begin at 7 p.m. and will incorporate music and scenes from various popular Broadway musicals. (APRIL GUILMET/Union Leader Correspondent)
For over a decade the Londonderry Dance Academy on Buttrick Road has been the site of the Triple Threat Theatre Camp, a three-week program where area children learn singing, dancing and acting under the tutelage of several well-seasoned Broadway performers.
Mullen, who recently earned dual Master's degrees in clinical social work and drama therapy at NYU, said all of the campers get the experience of learning from their respective stage roles.
Though earlier incarnations of the camp focused on dancing only, it soon became apparent that a lot of the repeat campers had multiple talents.
"He's pretty much the living definition of a 'triple threat'," Mullen said with a laugh.

I figure this thread has given me a very wide berth of commentary about beautiful smiles, nice cheekbones, expressive eyes, upper arm definition etc. etc. etc. . Deal with it. LMAO. P.S.

Hello All.
I have been using a foam core, paint lid, tin can, pvc, renuzit jet pack for the last 6 years and shes beginning to have some serious issues. I have a Big Springfield, Cardinals Baseball game this Sunday Afternoon. What method would you suggest for making a complete jet pack that is much better than my foam core, but I can build in 2 days and paint by Sunday. It doesn't have to have all the lights and whistles by Sunday as I will be all around and it will be hot so we will have to go in shifts of off and on. But need it to look good.
I have been thinking of getting a large piece of styrofoam and cut it with a hot knife to the Shape and coat it in epoxy and prime it then paint it. I can reuse my missile and the jet nozzles and some of the pieces like the caps and greeblie parts.
I just want light and quick. I am ESB Fett not the ROTJ So the paint job is easier in my opinion.
Thanks for suggestions.

Question: I live in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Last night I heard a magpie carolling in my backyard until quite late at night. Is this possible, or was I imagining things?
Answer: Yes, this is possible, if not probable. The call of the Australian Magpie is often heard at the start of the day, but night-calls have also been recorded during the bird's mating season from August to October. During this period, the magpie's famous carolling can be heard from as early as 4am, and continue late into the night.
These calls are connected to territorial defence, serving as a sonic claim to a defined area. They are often made by a single bird then affirmed by a response from a partner; this "duet" asserts the pair's control of the territory, and warns other magpies against intrusion. This control becomes especially important during the mating season, which is why adult birds can sometimes be heard nocturnally in this period. (This is also the season during which a minority of male birds will "swoop" at humans traversing their territory.)
Furthermore, this night-singing serves to assist in the retention of a strong pair bond, an imperative which is again closely linked to the mating season.
The Australian Magpie is not the only diurnal bird species known for nocturnal singing – the Willie Wagtail is another noteworthy example. Nevertheless, the prevalence of magpies in Victorian backyards makes it relatively likely that this phenomenon can be witnessed by attentive humans. After all, the species was recorded in over half of Victorian backyard surveys, making it second only to the Red Wattlebird in terms of prevalence.
We hope that you have enjoyed your ornithological night-listening. If not, rest assured that the mating season for Australian Magpies ends soon!
Gisela Kaplan, Australian Magpie: Biology and Behaviour of an Unusual Songbird. CSIRO, Collingwood, 2004.
Darryl Jones, Magpie Alert: Learning to Live With a Wild Neighbour. UNSW, 2002.
Hi Caz and Su, our Ornithologist has said these are interesting observations and are similar to my own in some way. The magpie's breeding season extends from late winter through spring so there is every likelihood of the songs being heard from late June to the end of November with an occasional extension simply to prove we are wrong in our observations.
As for their apparent wakefulness during the night we must place some of the blame on ourselves. I've noted that many birds, especially magpies are attracted to bright artificial lighting. Street lights cast a fairly bright light that in turn brings on intensified insect activity, the magpies maintain a vigilance to feed on these. If the lights were not there neither would there be magpies up and about. One thing that I've also noted, as have hundreds of others, is that on bright moonlit nights other birds, especially Willie Wagtails, are very vocal.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Thanks Caitlin for your keen eyes - we are on to it, hopefully the updated information will be published on the next scheduled page refresh

Q. What's a Twitter Party?
A. A Twitter Party is a virtual party where partygoers connect over Twitter. A host leads the discussion and partygoers tweet to join the conversation, using a special hashtag to categorize comments as belonging to the party. A party can be searched by its hashtag. (See also http://www.twitterpartyguide.com/what-is-a-twitter-party)
Q. What's the hashtag for the Melissa & Doug Twitter Party?
A. #MDparty
Q. What is a hashtag?
A. A word becomes a hashtag, or keyword, when it's preceded by a # symbol. This signals Twitter to categorize a tweet according to that keyword so it will come up in search results. So, for instance, when you do a Twitter search for #MDparty, you'll see what an amazing time we're having Monday night! (Also see https://support.twitter.com/articles/49309-what-are-hashtags-symbols)
Q. Why do I have to RSVP?
A. We pick names from the RSVP list for our prize giveaways. So technically you don't HAVE to RSVP–but you won't win prizes if you don't! (To be eligible for giveaways, you'll need to RSVP attend the party and participate by answering our party questions.)
Q. How far in advance should I RSVP?
A. You can RSVP as late as right before the first question is asked. We refresh the RSVP list right before our first giveaway.
Q. How long does the party last?
A. Our Twitter parties usually last 1.5 – 2 hours. You can come for just a few minutes, stay the whole time or anything in between.
Q. Do I have to participate?
A. You may participate as little or as much as you'd like. You need only be present and participating to be eligible to win prizes and giveaways.
Q. What will we do at the Twitter party?
A. During the Twitter party the hosts (@MelissaAndDoug, @weteach, and @innerchildfun) will ask questions about parenting, toys, family activities, telling kids jokes and more, and you can answer each question or comment on another person's answer. Remember to use hashtag #MDparty so everyone can see your comments.
For example, @MelissaAndDoug might ask, "Q1: Do you do anything special for your child last weekend? #MDparty" You could answer "@MelissaAndDoug Yes, it was my son's 3rd birthday party! #MDparty"
Each question is tied to a giveaway. Partiers are given a few minutes to answer each question. Once the question is closed we choose a winner for that question.
Throughout the party we also share information about our website, new products, upcoming events & promotions, tell jokes, get advice from other parents and more. Each party is different, but they are always fun!

Hi all,
Any advice you can give me would be great.
About me: I live and work in England, hold a good honours degree in English (2001), have worked as a teaching assistant to primary children and college students and currently work with children with learning disabilities, challenging behaviour and communication difficulties.
Am thinking of doing a TEFL course in Australia, I remembered that a lot of Japanese and Asian students used to go to Aus and NZ to learn English (however that was way back when so not sure if this is still the case). So...
1) Is Aus as an English speaking country a viable place to get work from doing a TEFL?
2) Which TEFL course do you recommend, I've heard that the month long intensive courses are the most useful (albeit costly) and probably this would be the type I'd go for. However, have heard several scathing reviews of CELTA and i-to-i (broken promises, non-transferable cert). To add a disclaimer tho, I've no idea whether this is just complaints from several lone people.

Weuve Recognized with Herb Foster Sportsmanship Award
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
INDIANAPOLIS (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay women's tennis senior Morgan Weuve (Green Bay, Wis.) has received the 2012 Herb Foster Sportsmanship Award, the Horizon League announced Friday night at its annual awards banquet in Indianapolis.
The award is named after the former Wright State coach who exemplified the values of the league and encouraged student-athletes to compete with sportsmanship.
"Morgan exemplified positive sportsmanship all year by competing with courage and consistently remaining poised under pressure," Phoenix head coach Sara Schubring said. "She always makes the time to be friendly with opponents, coaches and fans. Considering that great sportsmanship seems to be the norm in the Horizon League, I am very happy and honored that Morgan was recognized with the Herb Foster Award."
It marks the second straight year that a Green Bay player has earned the award, as former Phoenix standout Emily Lawent was selected in 2011. Lawent also won the award in 2009.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Once upon a time, Little Red Riding Hood set off through the forest to visit her Grandma. On the way, she met up with a Big Bad Wolf who struck upon the clever plan of taking a shortcut to granny's house so that he could gobble her up then have little Red for dessert. Ms Red didn't fall for it, though, and a heroic woodcutter saved the day by chopping the wolf's belly open with an axe & retrieving Grandma (thankfully still undigested). End of wolf, end of story. So the Grimm Bros would have us believe, anyway...
But what if Little Red Riding Hood is not necessarily the innocent heroine of times gone by? What if she is a little older, a little cannier, a little altogether sneakier? In our new Enchanted Times report, a warrant has been issued for the arrest of itinerant seamstress Ms Scarlet Hudd, after a Mr. B. B. Wolf claims to have been stitched up in every sense of the word...
Who do you believe? Read the brand new issue of Enchanted Times Mini & make up your own mind!

A number of Forrester analysts from the Asia Pacific region attended the recent SAP analyst event in Singapore. Meetings with SAP global and regional executives and a large number of detailed breakout sessions over the 1½-day event all clearly indicate that SAP is continuing to try and reposition itself as a true generalized application platform player.
At the core of (almost all) initiatives is the HANA in-memory database technology. Whatever the problem, HANA will solve it (said with tongue planted very firmly in cheek). While the technology clearly has immediate performance benefits, particularly for existing SAP clients, net-new customers will likely need to compare the value of SAP's offerings with others much more seriously.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by snoopysnake, Jan 26, 2010.
Now that is one legendary cast!
Great skaters, but I wonder about Nancy right now?
Well, the show is April 16 & 17th. I would expect she'd be able to skate by then.
deleted, sorry wrong thread
I'm glad they asked Amanda & Mark to do this show again. They've been great to them the past few years when they were more unknown and now people will actually know a little more about them after the Olympics. I wish I could get there for the show but I'll settle for some videos if anyone else is going. Great cast!
I really wish I could go to this!!
This will be the first year in a long time that the Protopopov's won't skate. I wonder if they will be there anyway?
Any news on Oleg?
Lots of changes to the skaters' lineup since I first posted. There is a new update, though, adding the local skaters (Curran Oi! Yes!!!!) and some exciting additions to the special non-skating guests (including the legendary Janet Lynn.)
I do hope my friend Judy Sladky is going to dress up as Snoopy. Maybe I'll wear my special Snoopy hat! Hope DH and I will get some good photos on Saturday.
Nice that they are letting Jessica Lin skate for one performance. She's a lovely skater, lots of poise and presentation. One of those unfortunate ladies that came down with the flu at NE Regionals. Looking forward to seeing Curran and Brittney again, miss seeing them on the ice at SCOB.
Outstanding that so many "icons" are making it in forthe 40th anniversary. Can't wait to see what SCOB comes up with for Ice Chips 100th Anniversary in 2 years.
I had rather see the nonskating guests skate, including dick and peggy. Wonder why no Michelle, she's in Mass?
Maybe she's super-busy at school?
Maybe she does not want to skate. Also, based on her schedule of appearances, it's likely she had something else to do - or gasp, attend class.
Does "special guest" mean that they're not skating?
I think so; I suppose some of them could conceivably skate onto the ice but I don't think they are performing. Tenley Albright was there a few years ago and stepped on the ice with skates on to receive a bouquet of flowers. It's more likely to be a red carpet on the ice kind of thing.
It has occurred to me that Michelle Kwan could certainly be part of the special guests group, as she did perform in this show as a young teenager. Maybe she has schedule conflicts, or is just trying to lay low from skating at the present time. Hope she might be there as a last-minute addition!
Oh gosh, Amanda & Mark, NavBoms, Melissa & Denis....that whole cast is wonderful! I wish I could go but I'll just have to look forward to pictures and videos from anyone else who is lucky enough to go. Have a great time!
i wish i could go.. it sounds amazing!!
I'm not sure if the weather is partly to blame for this, but the arena was only about 1/3 full for Friday's show. Dick Button did part of the introductions/MC'ing and was in rare form.
"I was taking to my old friends Kitty and Peter Carruthers. Yes, old friends. They're old; I'm not."
Peggy talking about working with Dick at ABC over the years. "You have a passion for the sport like no one else."
Dick "Yes, but you have the legs for it."
Something was wrong with the sound system for the better part of the first half of the show, so we couldn't really hear what was being said. Case in point, they were talking to one of the guests of honor who was very funny and at one point referred to herself as 'an old ice dancer', but I couldn't hear what else she said.
Onto the actual skating...Brittany Rizzo and Curran Oi did a cute "pairs" number to Sweet Caroline, The Dropkick Murphys and a few other 'greatest sports hits in Boston' that actually worked well and had some good footwork, spins and none of the odd 'what do I do now while she's spinning?' moments that I've seen in other programs like it.
Gretchen Donlan and Andrew Speroff did a very nice program to Bohemian Rhapsody -the original Queen version, for a change. He actually 'dies' during the 'Mama, I just killed a man' part, but then she prods him back to life. Great lifts and a nice throw 2 sal.
Jason Wong has a new (to me!) exhibition to American Pie that was very musical and had quite a bit of content, including two 2 axels and a 3sal. He fell on the sal, but who cares when the rest of his skating is so nice!
Both pairs teams Zhang/Toth and Evora/Ladwig skated well. Zhang and Toth in particular look ready to move up to seniors, with excellent ice coverage, nice lines and sbs 2 axels and a throw 3sal -all under spotlights.
Evora & Ladwig skated to On My own from Les Mis with a split 3twist and throw 3 loop (both very nice). They had a weird problem with their last back press lift, but laughed it off -literally- and got a warm reception.
E/L were cute in the closing number where Mark forgot they're supposed to do a highlight move and started skating off while Amanda was at center ice waiting for him to come back. Which he did, picked her up into a quick Detroiter and Amanda sold the exit out of that like nobody's business =).
Shibutanis and Navarro/Bommentre looked great & you can really hear the difference between ice dancers's edges and the other skaters when you sit close to the ice. Sad this is probably the last time I'll see Kim & Brent skate , but Give Me One Reason to Stay Here is a very good program for them.
The Hughes sisters were both there, but Emily looked out of it in her second number (Can't take my eyes off you), catching her heel on her 2axel and stumbling while stroking around at least twice. Her first program went much better and I have to say her spirals are impressive up close. Gorgeous free leg extension and tons of speed. Very nice spins, as well. Sarah only skated in the group numbers to open and close the show, but she seems to be in much better shape than when she was doing SOI.
Dorothy Hammil and Paul Wylie did a pairs number of their own to close the show...
Oh, and 3 of the ensemble girls from Ice Theatre of New York skated to an instrumental version of Fix You by Cold Play. One of them was Alizah Allen whom I hadn't seen in years, but she still has the same beautiful edges. All three of them were great skaters actually and I thought the program was very effective without any jumps or spins.
Will try to post some of the videos soon, too.
Jason Wong's American Pie Exhibition
Zhang and Toth
ETA: Nancy was not there on Friday in case anyone is keeping track and they didn't have any videos of her on the scoreboard jumbotron either, which was a little odd since they had some videos of Michelle Kwan who was not there either -nor was she scheduled to attend.
Thanks for the report!
Just got home. Great show.
Sound system was bad. in the beginning lots of skaters on skates got intros including JoJo Starbuck & Ken Shelley, Tai & Randy, Kitty and Peter Carruthers. The lighting was really strange - probably for the filming, but could not always see everyone.
Sarah Hughes was also in the beginning group, looking quite slim.
Standing on the ice for intros was Tenley Albright, Dick, Peggy, Janet Lynn and I think Suna Murray (who got big cheers).
Then between skaters when Dick and Peggy were chatting, one time - Judy Sladky who later on was Snuffelupagus on Sesame St and spoke in that voice.
Yasmin Siraj skated - very impressive - was at Ice Chips last week and nice to see again, she has a great presence.
Gregory and Petukhov were there, looking good, and it is the 6th time I have seen the program where their costumes light up.
Emily is the only one to do 2 programs. Seems like she had too much energy and made mistakes, but she just laughed them off.
Love Felicia and Taylor - so cute and so promising.
Ice Theatre of Ny - mesmerizing program, just lovely
Team Excel - Synchro to Riverdance/Lord of the Dance and Enya type music, really cool, and usually Synchro does not thrill me. Their costumes were pretty.
NavBoms - looked good, and yes probably last time to see them, which is sad. They always just look like they love what they do.
Evora & Ladwig, saw them during the break and said they were competing next season - yea. I have seen them at a few Skate Americas, and they seem more confident, what a great season they had.
Shibutanis - so so cute and impressive
Dorothy and Paul - so wonderful to see. Every year when Paul hosts this event, he is on skates, but does not skate a program which is a dissappointment, they were great together.
Great show, almost want to go back Sat pm, but it is a 2 hr drive each way.
I will be going tonight - any requests for videos?
Everyone???? Ha ha.
Shibutani's and NavBom please!
Lol, I don't think my camera has that much space, to record everyone. I've found it's difficult to really watch and take video at the same time, so I can't promise full-length vids, but I can take small clips of some performances.
NavBoms I can help with...I was afraid my battery would die before the end of the night, so I didn't get a chance to tape the Shibis.
I would love to see Paul and Dorothy's program.
FYI, the DVD of the show will be available for sale. Here's the information from the flyer:

Will this be shown on TV anywhere? Sounds like a wonderful program!!
Last night's show was fantastic. I hadn't realized how many big stars would be there, even if quite a few of them didn't skate.
Dick and Peggy talked in the beginning and did the whole "but Peggy has better legs" things, rofl.
Jason Wong performed his American pie exhibition, as he did last weekend at Ice Chips, and I am definitely an uber. Even his falls are smooth. His jumps look like they get so many rotations in the air. He doesn't do a quad, does he?
Bennett Gotlieb did "Shout" and it was really cute. Whoever it was that introduced Jessica Lin (I think it was Dick Button) said she was in 3rd grade - they had to correct it later that she's in 7th.
Emily Hughes did well - I think I was sitting behind her parents because they kept clapping wildly every time she jumped and had their hands clenched for the rest of her two programs. They were really cute actually. Emily had a huge "E" on her sweater - maybe so people would remember which Hughes sister she is.
The Shibutanis are absolutely lovely to watch live - I just love their flow and edges. Maia has a lovely arch in her back during the lifts too. They did "La Vie en Rose" by Louis Armstrong, shows off their skating so well. I didn't find the height difference that distracting, but I think I've also grown used to it. I had the chance to talk to Maia after the show (she is so sweet!) and asked her if they would be moving up to Seniors next year - she said they have to talk it over with their coach, so either they haven't decided or don't want anyone to know just yet.
Gregory/Petuhkov was definitely a ?? number for me, with the light-up costumes and weird music. There was some cool choreography in there with top hats, however.
Navarro/Bommentre, oh how I will miss them. They too have such a nice flow and are so smooth live. I just love how accessible their numbers always are.
Castelli/Shapnir - these two are lovely too. They have this one move, however, that made the entire audience gasp in fright - I don't know what it's called, but it's where the guy holds onto the girl's feet and is swinging her up and down while he rotates. This move always makes my heart stop but they did a version where he swings her really high up in the air then really low. Seeing pairs moves live is absolutely frightening, at least for me.
Evora/Ladwig. I saw them at Skate America in November and really liked them there, and I think their skating looks even better now. I think a hush almost fell over the crowd during their number (or it might be all in my head, lol). Perhaps it is the confidence from such a wonderful year. Amanda especially looked like she was shining.
Dorothy and Paul - I can't believe these two are actually still skating. Dorothy did some lovely spins, Paul did a jump or two and his spread eagle.
It was a great show (more enjoyable than SOI and only $8). I took some videos that I'll put when I get the time.
Thanks for the review literaryfreak! I would of loved to have gone, but it would have been a 3 hour drive each way! I thought Scott Hamilton was supposed to be there according to the flyers, but no one has mentioned him...I''m guessing he was not there?? Would of loved to see Dorothy & Paul's program!!
They mentioned that Scott couldn't make it.
I have a video of Dorothy and Paul's number on my camera but I believe ioana's video is better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFRZhPobYFU&feature=player_embedded
Thanks for the link. Dorothy and Paul were great! (Although I didn't care for her costume!)

Posted by James McQuivey on the CMOs Blog on January 11, 2013
I swear I've been here before. Not here, as in here at CES, where I spent the week checking my product assumptions against the actual offerings arrayed on the showfloor. But here, as in at a crucial moment in time when a single industry rushes to push a massively expensive, relatively unnecessary technology on unsuspecting consumers. That's the case with Ultra HD at CES 2013. Formerly known as 4k TV (because of the rough number of horizontal pixels employed in the technology) and now already truncated to UHD by company reps on the floor and in the hallways, Ultra HD is supposed to be the next thing every consumer will want.
It ain't gonna happen. The reasons evoke a ready comparison to 3DTV. And indeed, I have been here before, back at CES 2010 where I wrote a piece called 3DTV at CES: Poking Holes in the Hype. That year, some industry thinkers had conducted a survey and concluded that as many as 5 million consumers were ready to jump into 3D with both feet while opening their big, fat wallets. So I wrote the obligatory post that said, pointedly, no.
The comparison between 3D and Ultra HD is obvious. They were both too expensive at introduction (Ultra HD much more so than even 3D); they both suffered from a dearth of content availability; they both required a complete retooling of the equipment used by video production teams and film studios; and they both landed at a time when consumers were pretty happy with the awesomely large, cheap TV screens they already had.

With the spread of web-enabled desktop clients and web-server based applications, developers can no longer afford to treat security as an afterthought. It's one topic, in fact, that .NET forces you to address, since Microsoft has placed security-related features at the core of the .NET Framework. Yet, because a developer's carelessness or lack of experience can still allow a program to be used in an unintended way, Programming .NET Security shows you how the various tools will help you write secure applications.The book works as both a comprehensive tutorial and reference to security issues for .NET application development, and contains numerous practical examples in both the C# and VB.NET languages. With Programming .NET Security, you will learn to apply sound security principles to your application designs, and to understand the concepts of identity, authentication and authorization and how they apply to .NET security. This guide also teaches you to:

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Programming .NET Security is a Smoothhound shark. The Smoothhound shark is a harmless bottom-dwelling reef shark, which is also known as a mud shark or dogfish. It is a moderately sized shark with two high dorsal fins and short blunt teeth. It also has small grinding plates, which are used to crush shellfish. Besides shellfish, the Smoothhound shark forages reefs for worms, octopuses, and small fish.The Smoothhound shark can be found in both inshore and offshore habitats, often over tidal flats and in shallow bays. Also, the Smoothhound shark is viviporous, which means it gives birth to live young; inside the female body, pups hatch from eggs and remain there until they are fully developed.

text: Yes, I know, we still have nearly 4 weeks to wait ... but I wanted to get a jump on things. I took advantage of some inclement weather over the long weekend to finish the DVD set, re-watching some of my favourite episodes from last season, as well as the various extras. The highlights were the commentary episodes, esp. the season 2 opener with Ginny Goodwin and Josh Dallas (fun little behind-the-scenes tidbits, like the one they did for season 1), the one with Robert Carlyle, and the season ender with Colin O'Donoghue. There was also a nice little fluff piece on O'Donoghue (hmm, think they're pushing his star much? not that I mind ...) and one called "Girl Power" about the bad-assery of all the female leads. So, any thoughts about where we'll go in season 3? There wasn't much of a goodbye with the rest of the Storybrookers either -- do you think there will be many storylines there while most of the leads are gone? Last season we still had David, Rumple, and Henry in town to anchor those storylines, so that worked. It would be great to have some stories focusing on Belle, Ruby, Granny, Grumpy, Anton, and/or Hopper, but with both the Neverland sequences and the Team Princess / Post-Apocalyptic Forest stuff for present day, I'm not sure how much of Storybrooke we're going to see for the first part of the season. I'm also assuming we'll see some flashback sequences of Bael's time in Neverland, but considering the rate Dylan Schmid (young Baelfire) has been growing for the past two seasons, we might have to suspend disbelief a bit on the "never grow older" thing! And finding out Peter Pan's backstory, and why his character is so menacing, will be very interesting. I'm a little uncomfortable about the thought of a teenager being "bad," but I have absolute faith in the producers & writers making this work. They haven't let me down yet.

Visitors to Windham farm pay $1 for chance to name baby alpaca and help a good cause
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | November 03. 2013 10:39PM
Wendy Lundquist of Snow Pond Farm in Windham shows off some of the handcrafted alpaca fleece items, such as this hat knitted by her mother, Pam.APRIL GUILMET
Ella's Bella, a baby alpaca born this past Columbus Day, gets a friendly nuzzle from a yet-to-be-named baby born this past Labor Day at Snow Pond Farm in Windham. The farm is running a contest to name the baby boy, with proceeds to benefit Autism Speaks.APRIL GUILMET
At Snow Pond Farm in Windham, a yet-to-be-named baby alpaca, born on Labor Day, will be helping in other ways as well.
Co-owner Pam Lundquist, who also operates her day-care center on the premises, said the plan is to raise funds for the charity Autism Speaks in memory of one of her former students.
This isn't the first time Ella has been honored at the farm. A similar fundraiser last year raised more than $850 for Autism Speaks. And a baby alpaca born on Columbus Day is named Ella's Bella.
"That last one was a bit of a surprise," Wendy Lundquist said.
Church groups and senior citizen organizations are regular guests at the farm, as are area schoolchildren.
Though the family also operates a small store where guests can purchase alpaca fleece products, no purchase is necessary to stop by and get to know the animals a little better.
"But if we're home, people are always welcome to come by during the week," Pam Lundquist said. "Just give us a call first."

A science teacher who groomed a 14-year-old pupil before repeatedly raping her has been told he faces "a very long time" in prison.
Keith Ogunsola, from Banstead, lured his victim to hotels around the country pretending he was going to give her extra science tuition.
Croydon Crown Court heard the 47-year-old started his abuse in January 2001.
When giving the victim a lift, he told her he really fancied her and tried to kiss her.
A month later, he met the student at the former Aerodrome Hotel, in Purley Way, Croydon, where he took her virginity by raping her.
The court heard he then embarked on a three-year secret affair with her, telling his victim to wear skirts with no underwear when they met so it was easier to have sex with her.
The court heard he also booked stays at the Premier Inn and Hilton hotel in Purley Way.
Hanna Llewellyn-Waters, prosecuting, told the court: "She was manoeuvred into a position where she did not tell anyone, believing her word would not be believed against a teacher and the defendant told her what to do, say and wear.
"When she wanted to have a boyfriend he became jealous and when she refused to have sex with the defendant, he ripped her clothes off and raped her again."
On Friday, May 18, a jury took two-and-a-half-hours to find the married father-of-three guilty of rape, indecent assault and engaging in sexual activity while in a position of trust.
The court heard Ogunsola, who taught in Sutton between 1998 and 2001, avoided jail in 2009 after being convicted of kissing one of his pupils in Ilford, Essex.
Remanding Ogunsola in custody, Judge Jeff Blackett said: "I have a pretty good idea in my own mind what the sentence is going to be.
"You are going to prison for a very long time."
Ogunsola will be sentenced at Croydon Crown Court in June.

Professors at Turkish universities are furious at the decision of President Abdullah Gul of the religious leaning Justice and Development Party(AKP) to ignore recommendations of teh Higher Education Board(YOK) and appoint religious leaning professors to the position of rector of a university. Professor Ural Akbulut, former rector at ODTU, told the Turkish Daily News a university's recommendation for the post of rector must be respected because college faculty know those on the list and have decided which ones they most highly respect. Professor Kadkri Yamac, former rector of Gazi University in Ankara obtained twice the number of votes as the person who was selected but YOK disregarded the election results and excluded his name from those submitted to Gul.
Business groups like the Turkish Industrialists and Businessmen's Association urged politicians to stay out of the university administration and allow the faculty to make decisions. Most university professors believe President Gul is taking revenge against them for refusing to support his efforts to end the ban on wearing a headscarf in a university.

"The card turned out exactly as it appeared online. Additionally, the image that I uploaded for the back turned out very clear. Very impressed! Also, it came in adorable packaging!"
"I wouldn't have believed a card could make people so happy but everyone here was stunned by how great these cards looked. Previously we bought our cards from the big guys and we were so unhappy with the cards. We feel so lucky we finally found Tiny Prints. Outstanding company. We wish all our business suppliers gave us such a great product at such a great price with great customer service!!! We can't wait to get more cards!!! Thanks Tiny Prints!!"
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."
"I love these business cards! They have the perfect touch of simplicity yet are also unique at the same time. I will be proud to give these cards out to friends, relatives, and business professionals. Overall, I'm very pleased with my order! Thank you."
"Despite the order not shipping when expected-Tiny Prints took the opportunity to make everything right about the experience. I ended up working with 2 different customer service reps throughout the process and they were both exceptional. They were helpful, service oriented, caring and professional. It tells me that the training received comes from the top down. And the best part is that I was extremely pleased with the product and would order from them again."

Arsenal Football Club is dedicating its Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion this Saturday, December 8 (kick-off 3pm), to The Arsenal Foundation, the Club's charitable arm aimed at transforming young people's lives.
As part of the day, the first-team squad and Arsène Wenger will generously donate a day's wages to The Arsenal Foundation, which supports a range of education and sport initiatives in the UK and overseas.
Supporters will also be able to get involved in a range of other fundraising activities on the day, such as donating to bucket collections or getting involved in a special matchday raffle, with prizes including a signed Arsenal shirt and a pair of tickets to see Muse live in concert at Emirates Stadium in May 2013.
Fifty pence from the sale of every matchday programme will also be donated to The Arsenal Foundation, while supporters can beat the cold and do their bit for charity at the same time by purchasing an Arsenal bar scarf from Club stores at Emirates Stadium - £2 from every sale on Saturday will be added to the overall fundraising cause.
All money raised from the dedicated matchday will enable The Arsenal Foundation to continue supporting a variety of projects, including those of the Club's global charity partner, Save the Children.
A donation of £70,000 has already seen Save the Children deliver its Eat, Sleep, Learn, Play! (ESLP!) and Families and Schools Together (FAST) programmes for the first time in Islington, improving the wellbeing of over 100 families in the local area.
In addition, 15,000 children attending some of Beijing's most disadvantaged schools are benefiting from a £300,000 donation over three years to Save the Children to improve the quality of their education.
Arsenal in the Community, which engages more than 2,000 young people through its projects every week, has also benefited with donations towards many of its long-running programmes, as well as funding for local schools and the upgrade and refurbishment of local sports pitches in neighbouring boroughs.
Elsewhere, a donation to the Freedom from Torture Organisation has enabled Arsenal in the Community to deliver English as a Foreign Language sessions for individuals arriving in the UK that have been subjected to torture and other forms of organised violence.
To celebrate the matchday, some of The Arsenal Foundation's key supporters and beneficiaries will be invited to the game to take part in a pitchside collection pre-match, before enjoying the live action.
Arsenal chief executive and trustee of The Arsenal Foundation, Ivan Gazidis said: "Community has always been at the heart of Arsenal Football Club, right back to our earliest days when matchday programme cards were sold for a penny to raise money for Homes for Working Boys in Beresford Street, Woolwich.
"The Arsenal Foundation was launched to enable us to continue our long legacy of work in this area and support even more good causes, not only here in north London but also internationally. I hope all supporters take the opportunity to get behind the dedicated matchday this Saturday and help to make the day a huge success."

Standard & Poor's (S&P) is the Credit Rating Agency that issues credit ratings for the debt of public and private corporations. Periodically, S&P reviews its credit ratings on the City's 2006 General Obligation Bonds. Today they published their recent review of the City's bond rating and raised its long-term rating and underlying rating on the City's general obligation (GO) bonds to 'AA+' from 'AA-'.
The report highlighted the City's strong economy, flexible budgetary policies, substantial reserves, and liquidity as significant factors in upgrading the City's rating. The report also mentions that the annexation of fire services and the recent salary / benefit reforms (pension and OPEB) will improve structural performance and provide operating balance to city revenues and expenses. Although S&P discounts transfers from the City's Parking Enterprise Fund as non-operating income (a technical accounting classification) this did not prevent them from issuing a "Stable" outlook for the City's rating, reflecting their opinion that they do not expect to lower the ratings during the two-year outlook horizon; and might even further raise the ratings if the city succeeds in further improving financial performance.
The complete report is available for viewing on the City's web site. For more information contact Charlie Francis, Director of Administrative Services @ email@example.com, or at 415-289-4105.

Need a Fast Sample Delivery? Please call customer service.Request a Sales Person Contact
- Interlocking puzzle tile installation
- Lightweight and portable
- Lead free and latex free
- Waterproof and non absorbent
- Each tile includes 2 border strips
- Durable closed cell EVA foam is easy to clean
- Place directly on hard surface, no adhesive required
- High density foam floor tile
Home Gym Flooring, Aerobic Dance Floors, Dance Flooring Underlayment
Sport Plus Designer Foam Tile is a high density durable interlocking foam sport tile. This foam tile features a durable top texture that is an excellent choice for indoor aerobic floors, dance floor underlayment and sport floors.
Use this durable EVA foam tile in the home for gym floors. This floor tile is dense enough to withstand the weight of exercise bikes and most exercise equipment, and is excellent for aerobic X type workouts.
An economical dance floor underlayment solution for home, recreation and club dance studios, this single layer of high density foam will provide separation from hard floors for dancers. This is a great subfloor for dancers of all ages.
Install this sports foam flooring option wall-to-wall in any room of the home. Consider our full-size interlocking foam floor tiles in various colors for professional installations.
Use this product as an underlayment for home and professional dance floors, except for advanced ballet. This foam tile makes an excellent economical dance floor underlayment option for many home dance floors. The benefit of this foam tile under a marley dance floor surface is that it will provide separation from hard surfaces such as concrete to the dancer. Without some type of sprung or padded dance floor, dancers can develop shin splints.
High-density foam tile underlayment performs as a dance area subfloor that provides cushion under marley vinyl dance flooring. Install the foam tile directly over concrete or any hard, flat surface for an easy-to-install, non-glue down dance subfloor solution. This product is great for use with Rosco Adagio marley, a great underlayment for jazz, tap and modern dance floor surfaces.
Not recommended for advanced ballet where pointe is practiced, as the foam tile material is too soft and slow to respond for pointe when used by a normal-sized adult dancer. It can, however, be used for child ballet in home dance floor studios and club, or recreational dance studio floors.
To install this dance subfloor underlayment foam tile, simply interlock the tiles together and cut the material to fit wall-to-wall. We recommend leaving the dance subfloor foam cushion underlayment material about 3 inches short of the wall perimeter on all four sides. This will allow the installer to ramp the vinyl marley down to the base floor surface and tape it directly to the base floor with our double-sided dance floor tape.
Please Note:
Have your vacuum cleaner set at highest setting or just use hose and nozzle. Don't use power head.
High heels can puncture the foam tiles.
For aerobics activities, do not place the tiles on top of carpeting as foam tiles can shift.
When used outside, the foam tiles may expand and curl if exposed to direct sunlight in warm climates for extended periods of time.
Color and shade may vary somewhat from foam tile to foam tile within the same order. This is common with EVA foam tiles.
Allow the foam tiles to acclimate to your room before installation. The foam tiles can expand with changes in heat and humidity, allow at least a 1/4-inch expansion gap for wall to wall installations.
This foam tile is not rated for commercial use in high traffic areas.
Steam cleaning may heat up the tiles and cause them to expand.
Product can be damp mopped with common household floor cleaners, avoid bleach. Test your vacuum before use.Shipping
Ships in cartons via ground service to your door, for larger orders product may ship freight delivery.

Product Questions:
I am wanting to convert my garage into a dance studio room for my daughters and am looking for flooring that is reasonably priced and will protect them from the hard concrete. Would you recommend this flooring? My main concern is that they will be able to turn on the floor smoothly. Thanks!
Would you put these tiles directly over ceramic tile in a basement? Would it ruin the floor?
can this be put directly under laminate flooring?
If you use as a sub floor for a dance studio, do you need a layer of plywood on top before you lay the Marley floor?
What is the life expectancy got these floors?
Customer Rating:
The staff at Greatmats was very helpful. I appreciate their knowledge and great service in determining what products would best suit our situation in setting up a dance practice space. These foam tiles were exactly as described. They snapped together easily and quickly, and are the perfect underlayer for our Adagio floor.

Great product and Great Services. They are very knowledgeable people who just want to do a great job for their customers. Best company that I have ever dealt with over the phone. The service representative on the phone was so nice to go out of her way to draw a diagram of the installation process and emailed it to me. I finally finished the project and my daughter has a ballet floor to practice on. Thank you Greatmats.

I will admit I was a little skeptical about the flooring at first. However, once I got it installed and my wife and I started working out to Zumba it is the perfect floor. We have been working out almost every night and it makes a huge difference in our ability to perform the moves with workout shoes on and not get caught up on the carpet like we used to. Thanks for producing a great product that fit our needs!

Customer Rating:
We have a yoga studio floor, 40 x 42, with Wood Grain Sports Plus Designer Foam Mats throughout. It's beautiful and comfortable. The only surprise is that older yoga mats, the ones that aren't as sticky any more, bunch a bit on the floor. But who doesn't like an excuse to purchase a new yoga mat? It's a fabulous floor, Great Mats got it to me in the blink of an eye, and I'm grateful every time I walk onto it. Thank you!!!

Upon installing hardwood flooring throughout our home, we needed to find support protection for our three-position weight machine. The Sport Plus Designer Foam Mat we found at GreatMats appeared to be what was needed. The interlocking features allowed it to fit nicely in a "U" pattern to cushion this very heavy item. End results are better than we expected.

Customer Rating:
We ordered the Sports Plus Designer Foam Mat in Woodgrain and absolutely love it!
It is so easy to put together and it cuts easily too. We had some tricky areas and were glad that we could cut it to fit perfectly! The foam is of excellent quality and I believe it will last for many years. It also looks very nice.
We worked with Ryan and Jo and they were both so friendly and helpful. The expedience in shipping and delivery was great! We didn't have to wait very long for it to come.
We have already recommended Great Mats to two of our friends and if we get the chance we will recommend it to many more.
Thank you very much!

Greatmats delivered what they promised. I redid my basement floor with an interlocking gym floor. The customer service rep was very helpful on the phone. Her advice was spot on. The flooring came in a timely manner and it was simple to install. It makes a great floor for an excersise area in my basement. I would definitely recommend to anyone in a similar situation.

So here's the low down on all things Project Fiction.
Firstly: Nominate and you'll get a cute banner you can rub in all the other kids faces.
Secondly: Is Quizilla even still a thing? Do people actually publish their work on it still? We've gotten exactly zero nominations from Quizilla in the past two years.
And lastly: Change is coming. Kinda like winter but with way less death and Sean Bean and dire wolves. We, the PF ladies, have some stuff in the works that you'll really like. Change, however, is still a ways off but what we want to know is what you guys think should change around here. Drop a message in the chatroom or shoot us an email. We are all ears. What should we focus on improving? What new features would you like to see come to PF? What would you like us to bring back? Tell us these things. We want to know.
