Search for "soft skills" in Google and you'll find 45,800,000 results.
The first screen includes business Web sites, Web sites listing job
and interview skills, career developer Web sites, and an article
from National Careers Service asking, "What are the 'soft' skills
employers want?" The U.S. Department of Labor links to a
curriculum focused on teaching workforce readiness skills to youth
ages 14-21 called "Skills to Pay the Bills: Mastering Soft Skills for Workplace
Success." The course consists of six modules: communication, enthusiasm and
attitude, teamwork, networking, problem-solving and critical thinking, and
professionalism. The one link focusing on education is titled "Should schools
teach soft skills?" Forty-five million sites think we should.
Reflection and Goal Setting:
Google Docs and Spreadsheets
Hannah Magnan and Susan Steidl, New Canaan
High School English teachers in Connecticut,
formulated a plan to teach students to reflect
more deeply and to appreciate reflecting as
an essential life skill.
They ask students to submit work
on a Google doc, which receives written
feedback in the form of inserted comments
from their teacher and peers. Students
document and track this feedback on
their own spreadsheets in Google Drive.
After gathering enough evidence, each student
evaluates the feedback, searches for patterns used
to develop specific writing goals, submits plans for achieving those goals,
and writes reflections on each step of the implementation process. Since
the entire process is done online, the individual student practices giving,
receiving, and evaluating feedback from various sources on a variety of posted
assignments. At the end of the process, students reflect on their progress and
decide whether they need more instruction, practice, or feedback on their
current goal, or re-evaluate whether it is time to set a new goal. At the end of
the course, student responses to the goal-setting process were overwhelmingly
positive, specifically due to the high level of autonomy, differentiation, and
accountability the method afforded.
Discussion, and
Metacognition: Moodle
Right down the hall, Evan Remley
and Bob Stevenson co-teach an American
Studies class of 45 students where they
use many of the interactive features built
into Moodle to cultivate collaboration and
facilitate meaningful discussion among
students. These features include forums, peer revision tools, blogs, wikis, and
the other functions of the read-and-write Web application. With continual use
and timelined access to the feedback cycle, teachers and students can reflect
thoughtfully on their progress and set meaningful goals around content and
processes. Most powerfully, Moodle's 24/7 accessibility through email, apps,
tablets, and smartphones helps students and their support networks take
control of their own learning beyond the classroom. This powerful tool enables
students to cultivate skills that, once mastered, they can use for a lifetime.
Future Thinking, Risk-Taking, Coping with
Failure and Collaboration with Experts:
DropBox, CoolWIki, Online Databases, and
Data from Expert Sites
In a Bozeman, Montana, high school Lynn Powers is creating future
thinkers engaged in the real work of adding and creating new knowledge
in astrophysics. Students use CoolWiki and DropBox to share research,
photos, and findings with professors and experts at CalTech and Harvard.
They use archived data from two telescopes to determine if stars are being
formed in NGC281, also known as the Pac-Man Nebula, and work with an
expert at CalTech to learn to program in Python
to analyze these data and draw conclusions.
They presented their findings at the
American Astronomical Society meeting
in Washington D.C. in early January.
John Barell, author and expert on
inquiry and problem-based 21st century
learning (morecuriousminds.com) said,
"These students are on the frontiers of
new knowledge...their work ...contains
elements that can be transferred to any
classroom: reverence for and openness to
making mistakes/'failure', which means we try
and try, take some risks, fail sometimes, learn
and improve." These are soft skills that are
crucial to any scientific endeavor.
Global and Cultural
Communication and
Understanding: Google
Drive, Picasa, Voicethread,
Skype, Facebook, and
The Center for Global Studies (CGS), a
magnet school in Norwalk, Connecticut, under
the directorship of Roz McCarthy, is focused
on global understanding. Students at CGS are
learning their second or third language and
routinely communicate with their sister schools
in Japan, China, and Arabic-speaking countries.
They use Google Presentations to create
projects, Picasa to share photos, Voicethread to
allow a spoken exchange to be delivered in the
target language, as well as Facebook and Twitter
for social networking.
Most projects are shared online with the
sister schools and designed to demonstrate
what it means to live in their respective
countries . Some projects, like the Voicethreads,
are collaboratively created with partners in
the target culture. Once online sharing has
occurred, there is often a Skype session where
students can talk about the work. Speaking and
communicating with other cultures requires a
different set of norms; therefore students have
an opportunity to learn what topics should and
should not be discussed.
Critical Thinking,
Organization, Time
Management, and
Independent Thinking:
Mentor Mob, Socrative,
BlendSpace, Google Voice,
Blogger, YouTube, and
Teacher Tube
MentorMob is an
online playlist tool that
is useful for teaching
time management,
organization, and
independent thinking
because kids can be
given step-by-step
guidance that can be
accessed chronologically
or randomly depending on
the student's individual need. Students can also be asked to create a
MentorMob file for their own work, breaking it down into manageable
chunks and creating the steps needed to complete a project.
Michelle Luhtala, librarian at New Canaan High School in
Connnecticut, uses MentorMob to assess research skills as high school
juniors begin work on a research paper. Luhtala measures research skills
through a 20-question pre-assessment on Socrative.com that students
take on mobile technology (their own or library-owned). Each class's
overall performance on each question is compiled and published in
MentorMob, and posted to the library's instructional blog on Blogger,
sorting the questions from lowest number of correct responses to
Teachers are also given individual student performance results in
ranked order so they can quickly determine who might need the most
support. Individual students receive their overall scores as well as the
ability to self-remediate using MentorMob's playlist. Here they can
access a "step" for each pre-assessment question that links to a mini-instructional
module explaining the correct response using Google
Presentations, NCHS teacher-created YouTube videos, BlendSpace
(another online playlist tool), Prezi (a presentation tool), and in one
case, a simple screenshot. Students are also invited to text the library
with their questions in Google Voice, which provides teachers with additional
data to inform future instruction.
Personal Goal-Setting: Naviance
In Bridgeport, Connecticut, Diane Tung, Director of
Instructional Technology and Student Assessment
for the Diocese of Bridgeport, reports that
Naviance is being piloted at the middle school
level for student surveys and to help students
write SMART goals. Naviance offers tools
like the Gallup StrengthsExplorer that
let students identify their strengths and
talents, such as achieving, caring, competing,
confidence, and relating, among others.
Naviance helps match those students with
college and career options, and it also offers
strategies for applying them not only to school, but
also to a future career and life.
Personal Archiving, Prioritizing, and
FIltering: e-Portfolios in Google Sites and
A crucial aspect of student success planning is teaching students to
archive their work electronically so it can follow them as they move from
school to school or change districts. At Nathan Hale High School in Moodus,
Connecticut, Deborah Olsen-MacDonald, business education and finance
technology teacher, teaches a class called Information Technology, primarily
for freshmen. Our BIG P.A. is a project they created using Google Sites where
each student creates a personal Web site to be used for collecting schoolwork,
listing personal interests and hobbies, showing extracurricular activities,
and reflecting on their growth over time and their work to fulfill the district's
learning expectations. Students continually add to the portfolio over the
course of their high school careers. Then, when they become seniors, they
take a course called "Senior Project" in which they use their portfolios to
demonstrate their readiness to earn a high school diploma by showing their
learning and growth over time.
Accountability and Self-Monitoring:
RubiStar and iRubrics
Today's students expect a rubric for each assignment and they know how to
use them. A skill that doesn't appear on a given rubric is, by default, not a skill
worth worrying about. As such, teachers should focus on creating rubrics that
assess not only content, grammar, usage, and mechanics, but will also explicitly
assess soft skills. You can write your own or go to Web sites like RubiStar or
iRubric (accessible through Google Apps for Education) to see how others
assess these skills. Rubrics on these sites can be used as is or modified to
suit your needs. You can also create and add your own rubrics to the shared
Across our nation, state departments of education are creating new policies
that recognize the importance of soft skills. In Connecticut, for example,
students in grades 6-12 are required to file a personal student success plan
made up of goals in social, emotional, physical, and academic growth.

A couple of Qs from a new BMW owner ('89 325I) who, having now driven one, will never drive anything else! Brought back the fun to driving. Great cars.
1. Does anyone know of a good non-dealer BMW mechanic in the Boston area, preferably north or west of Boston? Smart, experienced, reasonably honest?
2. Is there an relatively easy way to check the wear on a timing belt? And are the consequences of a blown timing belt dire, i.e., expensive? Also, what's generally considered a reasonable price to have a timing belt and water pump replaced? Dealer wanted $800 which seemed insane to me; local garage wanted $300 - $500. Ballpark price and approx. number of manhours to do the job?
3. Have a fuel smell in the compartment which I think is related to a leak in a hose somewhere on the top or side of the tank where it's impossible to see or feel with your hand. (Fuel odor appears when tank is filled and dissapate as fuel level drops.) Have taken off both access ports under seat and looked around, but can see nothing obviously wrong. Problem is you can't see much beyond the areas dierctly under the access ports. Anybody know of any diagrams that might indicate what's under there, e.g., hoses, where you can't see? (Bently manual is no help here.) I would like to avoid having to drop the tank, if possible.
4. Can you get the injectors out of a M20 engine without removing the intake manifold? Car has 168,000 miles on it and I doubt that the O rings on the injectors have ever been replaced. Is is likely that they need to be replaced by now? I suspect I may have clogged injectors and bad seals, but am hesitant to take off the intake manifold as I am a fairly inexperienced mechanic, albeit enthusiastic and not entirely stupid (although my ex-wife will dispute that.)
Any and all advice gratefully accepted.
If your tank is like my 1987 325. There are three metal connections that sometimes get rusted as mine did. Had the same problems with fuel smell and it turned out I had a small pin hole in the center return line. I couldn't see it and as you said Bently was no help with the fuel tank. I had to pull it out. I could have replaced it with a fuel line by feeding it over the tank and saved myself a lot of work. But the other ones are going bad so it was time to replace the tank. I'm curious as to what your mechanic finds with your fuel tank and what he recommends to fix it. A new tank runs anywhere from $282.00 to $377.00 not inculding shipping. I found several in junk yards from $120.00 including shipping to Michigan to $165.00 not including shipping. It will be worth it and once you get all the bugs worked out you can get another couple hundred thousand out it. We have over 217,000 and going strong.
Good Luck

Opinion: Electric WH w/ Heat Exchanger
Hi, Just looking for opinions here. What would the potential problems and / or downsides be to installing a closed loop heat exchange system in my existing ductwork and using an 80 gallon electric water heater to heat it? This would not replace my heat pumps obviously, it would just be a supplemental heat. I would obviously need a circ pump and expansion tank and I am guessing I would have to bleed air out of tank and add water due to evaporation ever so often? My thinking is; the air from the vents would be warmer than heat pump air, it would heat the house faster, and therefore the HVAC would not run as much, therefore saving some electricity. Any thoughts? Thanks
COP, co-efficient of performance. Heat pump will give you more heat/dollar of electricity than straight electric heat which is what you get from a water heater. Google air to air heat pump and readup about it.
I understand the COP. What I am more interested in is: will it work and are there any operational issues with the setup I have described? Would the WH be able to keep up, etc?
Find out the wattage of the hw tank elements. Probably around 5000 watts which is rather small. Probably have 10-15 kw strip heaters for aux heat with the heat pump. Doubt that 5000 watts would do much good or increase the temp very high. Then there is a lot of loss in the pipes due to convection/radiation and the cost to run a circ pump. May warm the air a bit but at a large cost IMO.
It will also erode the tank and cause it to leak soon, those tanks are not very thick and not designed for continuos flow/circulation.
It will work as far as heat your house quicker.
It will however though, use more electric to heat your house. Then just heating with the heat pump.
EG: A 13 SEER 3ton heat pump operating at an outdoor temp of 30 with a COP of 2.8, and an 80 gallon electric water with coil piped into the supply. With the house requiring 30,252 BTUs an hour.
With the heat pump and water both providing heat at the same time. It would take 41 minutes to heat the house. With the water hater using 3.12KWs, and the heat pump using 1.95KWs, for a total of 5.07 KWs consumed.
Using only the heat pump. it would take the heat pump 60 minutes. And the heat pump would only consume 2.8 KWs total.
So using the water heater would increase your heating bill by 45% over using the heat pump alone. When the heat pump can maintain the house temp.
It seems that if I have 80 gallons of 150 degree water, it would heat the air better than what the heat pump does when the outside temp is below freezing. Especially since the air would be preheated by the heat pump before it goes through the water to air exchange. The tank erosion thing is the type of thing I am looking for though. Why would it erode and can it be prevented? I wasn't planning on going into the backstory, but here it is anyway. It is a 4200sf house with two electric heat pump systems. 9 months out of the year, all is good. But from Dec to Feb, my systems pretty much run 24 hours a day. With all the outdoor unit defrost cycles and the aux heat coming on, my bills get to over $500 a month for those three months. I have real time amp meters on my panels and I can see what my amp draw is per panel and per phase at any time. The water heater pulls around 18 amps. When the heat pump is running normally, it is pulling around 20 amps. When the defrost cycle and aux heat are running, it is running at about 80 amps. That is just for the downstairs unit. If I could reduce the amount of defrost cycles and get the unit to actually shut off from time to time, I am pretty sure I could reduce my kw usage. Last Jan. we used over 6000 kw hours. We have spent around $9k on our heat systems in the last 2 years and they are only 6 years old. I am guessing that it is due to the continuous running in the cold months. I would put in an outdoor wood furnace, but we are in a subdivision and I don't think the neighbors would approve of the smoke. Thanks for the replies, Understand I am just brainstorming here.
The electric aux heat of your heat pumps is no different then the electric heater in a water heater.
So your bill would not decrease.
if you want your heat pumps to shut off. Then you need to adjust the CPH of your thermostats. or use different thermostats.
I could be wrong, but I don't think it is the CPH as much as the house not getting warm enough to shut off the tstat.
Thought about retrofitting geothermal, but don't really want to part with $50K right now.
Actually. Many thermostats are set up to just cycle the aux heat on and off, but keep the heat pump running 24/7 after it gets so cold outside.
I'm going to take a wold guess that you have 2-4 ton heat pumps. or a combination of sizes that adds up to atleast 8 tons. And they are attached to duct work that is sized for the next tonnage smaller.
maybe even 10 tons total.
HW tanks have 6-8 yr gurantees. After producing billions of them the manufacturers know just the right thickness of metal to make them last that long. Depending on your water quality etc there is always some erosion when water circulates. Commercial tanks are thicker but a lot more expensive. If you add a water coil inside your ductwork you will add resistance to the air flow/increase your static pressure and create another problem.
Had an idea that there would be enough other issues to negate any benefit. Guess I will just keep paying the POCO. Thanks for the input.
So what size heat pumps do you have?
What is your electric rate?

Manchester United and Barcelona eye PSG midfielder
PSG midfielder Marco Verratti has caught the eye of Manchester United and Barcelona, reports in England suggest.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a good start to life in Paris and Sir Alex Ferguson has identified him as a potential summer target.
According to the Daily Express, the Old Trafford club will be on the lookout for a new central midfielder to fill the boots of Paul Scholes, who could retire for a second time this summer.
The player's agent Donato di Campli also confirmed interest from the English club as well as Spanish giants Barcelona.
"Many Italian clubs have contacted me to know the status of Verratti, but they are not the only ones to have done so," he told French newspaper Le 10 Sport.
"Big clubs in Spain and England are also interested in him. Barcelona and Manchester United are in the front row.??"Sir Alex Ferguson really likes Marco."
Verratti has made 17 appearances for PSG this season.

The Battle for Las Vegas Audiobook
Category: E-Book
The Battle for Las Vegas (Audiobook) By Dennis N. Griffin, read by Michael Taylor
Unabridged edition 2008 | 6 hours and 27 mins | ISBN: 1605480630 | ASIN: B009377FF4 | MP3 64 kbps | 177 MB
In the 1970s and thru the mid-1980s, the Chicago Outfit was the dominant organized crime family in Las Vegas, with business interests in several casinos. During those years the Outfit and its colleagues in Kansas City, Milwaukee, and Cleveland were using Sin City as a cash cow. Commonly referred to as the skim, unreported revenue from Outfit-controlled casinos was making its way out of Vegas by the bag full and ending up in the coffers of the crime bosses in those four locations. The skim involved large amounts of money. The operation had to be properly set up and well managed to ensure a smooth cash flow. To accomplish that goal, the gangsters brought in a front man with no criminal record to purchase several casinos. Allen R. Glick, doing business as the Argent Corporation (Allen R. Glick Enterprises) purchased the Stardust, Fremont, Hacienda, and Marina. They next installed Frank Lefty Rosenthal as their inside man, and the real boss of the casino operations. Rosenthal was a Chicago native and considered to be a genius when it came to odds-making and sports betting. Under Lefty s supervision the casino count rooms were accessible to mob.

Clarsskin Underarm Cleanser Review & Giveaway: Say Bye-Bye to the Musties!
- At January 09, 2012
- By Amber
- In Features, My Life
- 11
Question: Do you suffer from the musties? If so, then this post is for you!
What are the musties, you ask?
Well, it's that feeling you get when your underarms don't quite feel 'squeaky' clean.
For years I've had problems with perspiration, never really knowing why I always had a slight musty smell and/or that pesky yellow stain in my shirts. I just knew that there had to be something better than slathering rubbing alcohol in my pits just to help me feel more clean.
So, imagine my surprise when I found this underarm cleanser called Clarsskin that made claims to help improve my-not-so-fresh woes!
This is how it works (according to their site, but paraphrased by me):
That rubbery feeling in your underarms is a residue comprised of metal particles left in your skin by your deodorant. Clarsskin was created with a formula that helps to break down and remove those metal salts from your skin, resulting in a much cleaner feel.
On a whim I decided to give it a try, and I was a believer. Instantly!
I could immediately feel the difference. My underarms are so clean and smooth all the time now, which allows for my deodorant to actually do its job (which is to keep my dry, not clog up my pores!). I have been very pleased with Clarsskin and find that it makes good on its promise to eliminate underarm "gunk". When I first bought it I used it every day for about a week. Now I use it just once or twice a week to get the job done. You only need a little bit each time, so it lasts FOREVER!!! And as an added bonus, it doubles as a shaving gel. How amazical is that???!!!!!
Let me be clear in saying that this product will not make you stop perspiring. It simply helps your skin feel more fresh and clean after each use so that again, your deodorant can actually do what it's supposed to do!
Curious to try it out? Well today is your lucky day!!!
The wonderful folks at Clarsskin are partnering up with The YeYo Diaries and sponsoring a giveaway! Woop-woop!
Three lucky winners will be chosen at random to receive a bottle of Clarsskin (your choice of scented or unscented).
Here's how to enter:
1) Like the Clarsskin Facebook Page.
2) Like The YeYo Diaries Facebook Page.
3) Leave a comment down below stating that you completed Steps 1 and 2!
That's all, folks!
Good luck!!!!!
The winners will be announced on January 13th!

Had mine hooked up for a couple hours now, so far, with only changing the power saving mode from off to Medium, it looks pretty darn decent to me (I'm by no means an expert and likely not too terribly picky when it comes to picture quality, at least compared to other members on here).
Picture quality is much better than the Hannspree it replaced and the volume output of the speakers exceed that of the Hannspree as well. Had to use a surround sound with the Hannspree (through a 3.5mm to RCA) just to get reasonable output with cable. Luckily, the BluRay goes through the optics cable. As of now, I don't have an extra optics cable, so the LG is playing audio on it's own with cable. Plenty of volume, just lacks some depth.
Now that the unit has had some time to somewhat break-in (I don't know anything about plasma TVs, but heard they have a break-in period or something), I'll be tryig out the setting posted earlier and see how it looks. So far, no regrets with the set, hope I'm equally impressed with the Samsung 6300 when it arrives.
took advantage of the WM promo today and installed in about 30 mins. Used the previously posted calibration numbers under "expert1" We played the original Star Wars DVD from a 2nd gen XBox 360 and originally used the THX Lucas calibration settings. The blacks all seemed to blend with no distinction in dark scenes. We will try to watch again with the Expert 1 settings.
Has anyone else used different calibrations? How do all of your black color shadings look?
I think the deal was decent.
Sadly, I haven't any idea as to what I'm doing with al those settings, so, I tried the settings posted and I too found it too dark. So, reset the unit to factory settings and just tweaked a couple settings. Surely it could use more adjustment, but it's one of those things in which the more settings I touch, the worse it begins to look. Still looks better than the unit it's replacing though, so no huge complaints.
Anyone know if WM will price match other WM stores, such as with that manager's special of $100 off? I know my WM will not price match their online prices, messed up as that is, but it's not a huge issue waiting a few days for site to store to get the savings (lol).
Has anyone tried out any gaming on it?
yagrax and xeno2011 have both said gaming was good with the unit with no lag. I myself haven't had a chance to game on it, ended up placing the unit in our upstairs living room, which is used exclusively for movies and television (figured I'd rather have the larger TV for movies/cable than for gaming, since I watch more TV than I game). I will be using a Samsung 6300 series LED in my down stairs living room/gaming area with my PS3 and (I'm sure) PS4 next year, but that's a completely different TV, so...
I have all except magenta with a deltaE under 10. and gray scale tracks almost perfect from 20-100 although I don't trust my DTP94 below 30 so I think its much better lower. It looks stunning. I would be glad to give anyone my settings if they wanted to plug them in and try it. For the 650 I spent I am not sure you could get a better picture in a 60"
I would like to see your settings. I may be buying it tomorrow.
Given I have next to no idea as to what I'm doing with all the adjustments, I'd be interested in trying those others have used until I find one I like best.
Bought the Samsung UN65EH6000 65-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV last week, on sale for just over $1000. Football looks great, but the real test for me was Call of Duty Black Ops 2 on Xbox360 (Ghosts sucks). The majority of LED TV's I've tried FPS shooters on have a noticeable amount of input lag. The input lag rating for the Samsung tv was good, however I still noticed some annoying lag, regardless of different settings that I chose.
Yesterday, I saw the 60" LG Plasma on sale at Walmart for $648 plus $50 gift card. I looked for some input lag info and reviews, but couldn't find much info. Figured it was worth a try, however.
Picked it up, hooked up the 360, and tried Black Ops 2 last night. The verdict? Very smooth with virtually no input lag. Much better than the Samsung LED that I bought. This is using the default video settings.
I tried watching the Sunday night football game on it as well briefly. Pretty good picture, but I did notice some pixelation around the players when zoomed out. I don't know if this gets better with time, or with calibration.
At $400 cheaper than the Samsung for 5" of size difference, however, I decided to keep the LG instead. It's a good buy for the money!
Generally, no, Walmarts don't price match each other, although if you can talk to a manager you might manage it. You have to be at a store in the same area though. The Walmart here is matching their online prices for the holidays, so you should ask and see if yours is too. The reason they don't normally match the website's price is because Walmart.com isn't a competitor, or so I was told.
Thanks for the response 5474nsays, unfortunately, I live in Mid-West KS, not a lot of big towns out this way, so there's but one WM locally, next closes is about 50 miles away. After that, it's probably 100 miles for Salina, which I think has just one. Wichita was a couple, but that's 180 miles.
So, yeah, probably not gonna happen for me, but again, thanks for the advice.
I picked it up at midnight yesterday. OMG it's beautiful! I'm replacing a 2003 rear projection lol! I can't STAND seeing pixels jitter or ghosts, so you know why I've been holding out. LCDs have not done it for me and the 70's seem to be the make or break point for size for me, seeing the pixels at 1080. This unit, using the first set of settings posted is simply AWESOME in my room. Bear in mind it's a blacked out room (I had the door and some window light let in for this pic, normally you can't see the reflections). I would bet they would be far too dark in any room with even moderate light - but mine is very controlled just for movies. I could NOT be happier and would suggest this unit to anyone with the right room for it!

Never had the urge (had them since they came out, still have a 1st gen too). I use it for streaming Netflix, radio and bluray rips from my computer. Flawless!!
I've just been playing movies non stop lol There was certainly nothing in any of the manuals about anything special other than use it!
Anybody know where to get a directv hd dvr? I just got the tv and now I need one but its $299 from directv.
It's the Zenith version of the 5300
I have 42" and 50" Zenith plasmas (as well as a Panny GT25), they are the LG without PW
they as always are a great buy for PQ with easily accessed menus ect.
Sorry is there any difference between the 60PN5000 and the 60PN500?
Okay because there is already a thread here for the "60PN500" and there is actually a good deal of info on that model online, as opposed to what the OP apparently couldn't find for the "5000".
Thee is no 60PN500
You are probably misreading or seeing a typo of 60PN6500.
I don't care about smart TV so for price size and picture quality not sure this can be beat.

Jon Olsen's path to nailing down UCLA's Sunday starter role started on a cloudy day in Dodger Stadium. In 5 2/3 innings, he struck out nine USC batters.

The sophomore from Damien High has continued to carve out a critical role for the Bruins. "We would not be close to where we are without him," Savage said. Where the Bruins are is...

The shrinking margin of error at the Women's College World Series was quickly demonstrated to the UCLA softball team. The fifth-seeded Bruins dropped their opening game to No. 13 seed LSU on Thursday, 2-1, in a game that hinged on two close calls at the plate. UCLA pitcher Rachel Garcia was called out at home in the second inning despite appearing to beat the tag, but the more controversial call awarded LSU the winning run in the fifth inning when Bruins catcher Paige...

text: XenForo Template Stargate: Atlantis - Fans' Choice (Blu-ray) Directed by Martin Wood, Andy Mikita Studio: MGM Year: 2004/2009 Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 1080p AVC codec Running Time: 88/46 minutes Rating: NR Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 English; Dolby Digital 5.1 French, Spanish; 3.0 Spanish Subtitles: SDH, Spanish Region: A MSRP: $ 29.98 Release Date: August 4, 2009 Review Date: August 6, 2009 The Program 3/5 Stargate: Atlantis had a healthy five year run on the Sci-Fi Channel (as it was then called) from 2004-2009. This new Blu-ray release pairs the episodes which won the highest number of votes on the series' website and features cover art that was also voted on by fans of the series. The two episodes chosen as the winners were the series' original feature-length pilot episode and, ironically, the series' last episode. Even for someone like me who had never watched the show during its lengthy run, watching these episodes was a pleasurable experience even if the promises of a very original series from the pilot seemed to have become a little more derivative by the time the show ended. Still, the episodes are fun, adventurous yarns with the good guys and bad guys easily delineated. In the first episode "Rising," an ancient Stargate base is found buried in the ice of Antarctica, and an international team of soldiers (led by guest star Robert Patrick) and scientists from Earth journey to a distant planet in the Pegasus Galaxy. There they discover the legendary lost city of Atlantis under the control of Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson). Atlantis, currently under the sea but protected by an energy field which is slowly collapsing, holds another Stargate network that opens onto several human worlds. As they explore this new galaxy, they come into contact with a ruthless, powerful enemy species known only as the Wraith. Five years later in the series finale "Enemy at the Gate," the Wraith are still as deadly and merciless as ever and have now locked on Earth's position initiating an attack on Earth as a future source of their sustenance. By now, Major John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) from the pilot has been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and is in charge of stopping the Wraith aided by telepath Teyla Emmagan (Rachel Luttrell), the always amusingly bemused Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), and right hand warrior Ronon Dex (Jason Momoa). A few things become perfectly clear in watching these two episodes back-to-back in one sitting. CGI effects (and likely the show's budget for them) improved greatly between seasons one and five. Atlantis looks very artificially rendered in the pilot but seems much more realistic by the end of the show's run. Writers by season five seemed to be borrowing plot points and even sci-fi lore from other space franchises like Star Trek. All of the terminology concerning "cloaking," "beaming aboard," and "shields up" for protection from oncoming enemy fire sounded very familiar. The dogfight in space that forms part of the climactic scenes from the last episode seems straight out of Top Gun of all things. None of the performances in either episode seemed especially riveting, but Joe Flanigan seemed up to the task as the show's nominal male action hero, and certainly Rachel Luttrell's Teyla was reserved and authoritative enough. I did get a kick out of Paul McGillion's talkative Scotsman Dr. Carson Beckett, and David Hewlett seemed to be enjoying playing the fretful Dr. McKay in both episodes on the disc. Video Quality 4/5 Both episodes are framed at 1.78:1 and presented in 1080p using the AVC codec. Color density and richness seems much more pronounced on "Enemy at the Gate." Colors seemed more reserved and even a bit undersaturated in "Rising." Sharpness is spot-on in both episodes, but contrast and black levels both register more strongly in the series finale. The pilot has been divided into 16 chapters while "Enemy at the Gate" has been divided into 12 chapters. Audio Quality 4/5 The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 sound mix is more impressive on the pilot episode. Being feature length, there are more opportunities for pans and discrete effects to be channeled around the soundstage. The music for the series gets a worthwhile placement around all available channels and aids in giving the action scenes in both episodes some added potency. Special Features 0/5 There are no bonus features apart from 480i and 1080p trailers for Stargate: The Ark of Truth, Stargate: Continuum, and Stargate: Universe. In Conclusion 3/5 (not an average) Fans of Stargate: Atlantis now have two of the series' ninety-nine episodes in high definition. There are no bonus features to give the package added value, but the video and audio quality of these two programs certainly do the series proud. Matt Hough Charlotte, NC

Wednesdays-Saturdays at 8pm / Sundays at 4pm (added performance Monday 2/16)
By Theatre Askew
Written by Trav S.D. | Directed by Elyse Singer
Since 2004 Theatre Askew's productions have attempted to straddle categories often set in opposition to each other: accessible and experimental; pleasing and provoking; popular and alternative. Past productions include Bald Diva! and i google myself (both nominated for GLAAD Media Awards) and I, Claudius. In 2009, Askew kicked off its queer history series with the world premiere of William M. Hoffman's Cornbury: The Queen's Governor, starring David Greenspan and Everett Quinton. This production marks the company's La Mama debut.
"Ms. Pope, an assured performer with a brazen alto, shines in the role, changing her accent and identity even more often than her bloomers. "I'm whoever I need to be," Adah tells a lover. With brio and brass, Ms. Pope is, too." -- NEW YORK TIMES
"Before there was Kim Kardashian, there was Adah Isaacs Menken… and there is no more delightful way to learn about Menken than Trav S.D.'s Horseplay... It's a rollicking and unbelievable story, overflowing with scrappy DIY theatricality." -- THEATERMANIA
"Pope is marvelous, fluidly changing accents and outfits in front of our eyes (costumes, wigs, props and set pieces are all in full view), belting out a few numbers in her smoky voice and maintaining charm when delivering some very dark punch lines." -- TIME OUT, NY
"Under Elyse Singer's zippy direction, the versatile troupe of actors play multiple roles, often making head-spinning rapid character and gender switches... But none of this would work without the central and terrific portrayal of Adah Isaacs Menken by Molly Pope, in whose acting you'll find traces of Barbra Streisand, Gilda Radner, Mae West, Carol Burnett, and Bette Midler." -- TALKIN' BROADWAY
Free / in the Ellen Stewart Theater at La MaMa
Friday, February 27th, 6.45 pm
Denny Daniel from the Museum of Interesting Things will do a presentation using items from his collection on Victorian stage effects, photographic equipment, and magic lanterns. Adah Isaacs Menken was one of the first celebrities to seize upon the potential of the then-new medium of photography to further her career.
Saturday, February 28th, 6.45 pm
Scholars Kim Marra, Joe E. Jeffreys and Karen Karbiener will examine Adah Isaacs Menken's theatre and literary practices. This lively discussion will focus on the intersection of queer female bodies and horses; women cross-dressing as male characters in American popular entertainment; and the bohemian literary scene around Pfaff's Cellar of the 1860s that Menken and Walt Whitman were part of.
Sunday, March 1st, 2:45 pm
Authors Michael and Barbara Foster will be doing a presentation on the fascinating life of Adah Isaacs Menken. They wrote the book on her. Literally. From the pages of their biography Dangerous Woman: The Life, Loves, And Scandals Of Adah Isaacs Menken, they will shed light on the elusive story behind "America's Original Superstar." As part of their talk, they will show images from their extensive collection of Menken photographs—one of the most photographed personalities of her time.
6 QUESTIONS with Horseplay author TRAV S. D.
"I first learned about Adah Isaacs Menken when, by happenstance, I came into possession of a couple of biographies about her in the late 1980s. It was years before I read the books, but the instant I did so I knew I had to write a play about her..." READ MORE
6 QUESTIONS with Horseplay director ELYSE SINGER
"This is my first time directing in the Ellen Stewart Theatre, and it's a great honor. I last worked here as the stage manager for Lee Nagrin's Dragon's Nest, which was such a formative experience. It's also the ideal venue for Horseplay as the space is so integral to the history of popular theatre in the United States." READ MORE

Homecoming for O'Connor!
Homecoming for O'Connor!
By Mark Vaz
The buzz in Boston this week is that native son Danny O'Connor has returned home for his first professional fight. After an outstanding amateur career which included winning the 2008 National Golden Gloves light welterweight championship and concluded with an alternate spot on the 2008 U.S.A Olympic Boxing Team, O'Connor signed with Seminole Warrior's Promotions, and has fought in New Hampshire, Canada, and Florida, including an ESPN2 appearance two weeks ago. Scheduled to fight in New York, his hometown fans got lucky when The Garden show fell through and he was added to Saturday's Celtic Pride Boxing action-packed St. Patrick's Day Weekend show at the Dorchester Armory in Boston.
O'Connor will face veteran Charles Wade (4-7, 1 KO), who was once an outstanding amateur himself.
The 23 year-old O'Connor (4 -0, 1 KO) is thrilled to be fighting in front of his friends and family for the first time as a professional. "I can't imagine how I'll feel when I walk in the ring with everyone cheering for me," said the personable young man, who may be exactly what boxing is searching for – a fighter with talent, style, personality, and integrity.
The main event on the nine-bout card will feature Irish featherweight champ Patrick Hyland (15-0, 8 KOs) fighting for the IBA International title against tough Nicaraguan challenger Carlos Guevara (12-8-2, 9 KOs). Guevara has been a road warrior in his career, fighting top contenders around the world.
The co-feature will showcase Gary "Spike" O'Sullivan (6-0, 5 KOs) of Cork, Ireland, in his second bout here in the US. "Spike" will step up in competition against veteran Jimmy LeBlanc (12-15, 9 KOs) of nearby South Boston in an eight-rounder for the AFO light middleweight title.
Also in action is hard-hitting light heavyweight Eddie Caminero (5-0, 5 KOs) from nearby Lawrence. Plus a lot of local favorites will make their pro debuts, including super middleweight Dan Conway, welterweight Justin Paulo, welterweight Antonio Chavez-Fernandes, heavyweight Steve Jaegar and heavyweight Alexis Santos.
Tickets are priced at $30 (standing room), $40 (general seating) and $50 (ringside). Tickets will be available at the box office or call 508-746-0176. The doors open at 6:30 pm and the first bout is at 7:30 pm. The Dorchester Armory is located at 70 Victory Road in Dorchester, MASS.

- - Barking and growling. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/schutzhund-ipo-training/423362-barking-growling.html)
Barking and growling.
Yesterday, I practiced Fuss command with my 9 months old pup. We've been doing this for a month and half. I started to drop the line and let her walked close to me by herself. Yesterday, she walked too far forward. So I bent down and grabbed the leash and corrected her. She saw me bending down to the leash. She tried to jump like she knew what coming next. I popped it and she braked once and I popped the leash again for barking. I feel like she was saying what did I do wrong. But after that everything was fine.
Two week ago, she broke position from sit and platz and I corrected her. She growled.
Do these two actions mean that she not stable or something? I'm just worried.

I'm afraid nobody here can tell you what is going on, not without actually seeing the incident and knowing more.
Do you belong to a club? this is something to bring to your TD
Sounds like a dog that's ready to come up the leash at you. Dog probably doesn't have a clear indication of why you are correcting her.
She stops those behaviors and walks close to me on fuss command and even improve her eyes contact after that correction.

Charlotte Tilbury's Melt-Proof Makeup Secrets
From her cult-favorite product line (hel-lo Filmstar bronzer) to her years of experience perfecting the complexions of Hollywood's biggest stars, Charlotte Tilbury is truly an expert when it comes to creating radiant, flawless skin. As the July days burn on, we turned to the British beauty guru for help mastering the art of the high summer, melt-proof glow. Charlotte's quick tutorial, below.
Step 1: Shine-Reducing Primer
"Summer is all about gorgeous, sexy, glowing skin that's protected from the blazing sun and sweat. Start with a nourishing primer to ensure your makeup is melt-proof."
- 'Photo Finish' Foundation Primer, Smashbox $39
Step 2: Sunscreen & Illuminator
"Opt for sheer, dewy textures rather than heavy, drying foundations on the skin - I find a beautiful, freckle-revealing illuminator with SPF works best. For the perfect summer glow, use a high factor protection, like Institut Esthederm SPF 50, and then blend with a little of my 'Gisele-in-a-jar' Wonderglow. It makes you look like you're lit from within."
- No Sun Face Cream, Institut Esthederm $68
- Wonderglow Soft-Focus Beauty Flash, Charlotte Tilbury $52
Step 3: Lightweight Powder
"To avoid unsightly shine, use a finely milled powder across your T–zone for a flawless complexion all day long."
- 150 Large Powder Brush, MAC $42
- 'Mineralize' Loose Powder Foundation , MAC $31
Step 4: Primer & Cream Shadow
"For a long–lasting eye look, prime your lids, and then use a cream eye shadow or eye shadow crayon to swipe a sun-kissed bronze or a glimmering amber across the lid, and blend out."
- 'Backstage' Longwear Eye Primer, Dior $28
- Color Chameleon in Amber Haze, Charlotte Tilbury $32
Step 5: Waterproof Mascara
"You can still use your favorite mascara, just seal it in with a waterproof topcoat like Anastasia Beverly Hills' Lash Genius."
- 'Lash Genius' Waterproof Topcoat, Anastasia Beverly Hills $21
Step 6: Setting Spray
"For the evening use Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray to keep your makeup on until dawn."
- All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray, Urban Decay $30

(5 oz. bottle) MEDIUM HEAT-WINNER 2010 HOT PEPPER AWARDS (Carrot based hot sauce category)…A 100% all natural blend made with organic orange habaneros, fresh orange and red bell peppers, garlic, carrots and white onions. A uniquely satisfying habanero hot sauce with an extra fresh taste.
With a generous helping of orange and red savina habaneros, this sauce is mucho picante (for a medium) to say the very least. It can also be used as an extract or chili base. The Naranja is fantastic on fish, poultry, pork and beef. Try it on taquitos, grilled cheese sandwiches, soft tacos, burritos, chimichangas, or enchiladas. It's even great cold on sushi or drizzled on top of a steaming bowl of popcorn…Enjoy! – Ol' Benito

What does Fake Gucci, Cam'ron, & Sneakers Equal?
As I was doing research for an upcoming project I discovered these kids Gucci sneaker shirts. First of all I think this is a pretty well executed design that could've actually been a part of the adult line. However, I didn't just see the concept that it was created because it's a fun graphic tee that resonates with kids. I saw how it's really a testament to how much the sneaker/street culture influences mainstream fashion and pop culture.
Back in the early 2000's custom kicks were huge. So many people were trying to get themselves a pair of Gucci Air Force One's. While I don't think Gucci has ever sold or authorized the selling of their custom monogram fabric, it didn't stop the trend from spreading like crazy. Gucci probably spent a lot of time suing as many people as they could find using their logo, but I don't remember them ever releasing a sneaker t-shirt or anything that would've capitalized on the hype during the height of the monogrammed fad. It's interesting that they've jumped on the bandwagon and released a sneaker shirt now, when this new wave of sneaker obsession has surfaced as a major trend.
(that's actually Fendi in this pic, but you get the point)
It's interesting because when we think of the stars winning in the sneaker trend right now, Gucci doesn't come to mind. They're trying to get a slither of the sneaker pie today, but If they had stopped fighting the Gucci sneaker obsession of the early 2000s, (they weren't the only ones as you can see with Fendi) they could have possibly been among the leaders of, not only the sneaker craze, but also the return of the 2000 era's trends that have been flooding the street wear scene lately.
These custom Cam'ron Nike Elite socks were easily selling for over $100 on Ebay after the RIF-LA drop back in May
How much smarter it would've been for Gucci to have seen the hype as a compliment back then and cashed in on it. Even better…. how dope would it have been if they had gotten Cam'ron as an official spokesperson for their first ever street wear inspired line. Could you imagine the kind of Cam'ron products that would've have been released back in 2003?
This tribute to Killa-Cam sold out the first week it was released, but they've restocked on Godly's site
If Gucci had seen the possibilities in the streets obsession with them back then, perhaps the song wouldn't have been called Versace. Maybe they would've been the go-to company for all throwback Cam'ron gear in 2013 when it became popular again. Maybe they would have us scouring Ebay for an overpriced Cam'ron X Gucci original that's been sold out for months. Maybe all these smaller brands would be, once again, copying them and the fashion standard they set. If Gucci had been smart they'd be one of the leaders of the sneaker and 2000s throwback trend. However, they weren't so smart and now they're just making a lame (and late) attempt at jumping on the sneaker fueled bandwagon with a couple of tees in kids that will probably never catch on. It never be worn by adults let alone celebrities…. and most importantly it will never be worn by Killa Cam
So what does Fake Gucci, Cam'ron and Sneaker equal? It should've equaled a great marketing campaign and millions of dollars.

With volleyball games starting next week, local squads have been hard at work looking to replace graduated talent and see what the up-and-comers have to offer. Several teams have a promising outlook, as we spoke with local coaches to highlight some of the key players.
The Lions graduated several key players, but still have a strong core of talent led by the returning Narrows 4A MVP, junior outside hitter Courtney Schwan.
Schwan is dominant up front, and is supported by a strong senior class of setter Katy DeGroot, defensive specialist/outside hitter Kelsie May and middle hitters Rachel Gill and Katherine Joyce.
Junior Julia Wright will look to lead the defensive effort, and sophomore Reghan Pukis will be a key as an outside hitter. Junior Lakes transfer Emily Newberry will add height as a middle hitter, as both she and sophomore Claire Martin are over 6-foot-3. With Schwan, Joyce and Pukis also at least six feet tall, the Lions will feature plenty of height.
"It's just a matter of the girls being together, practicing the system we run and knowing where to be at the right time," said head coach Jody DeGroot. "Right now I can already see we'll get better every week."
The Tigers sport a solid returning class, led by senior outside hitter and team captain Tabi Webb. Senior setter Haley Rice and senior libero Helena Stout also return as Stadium looks to offset the graduation of star player Sarah Caylor.
"Overall I think the team's pretty athletic, pretty aggressive," said head coach John Dillard. "We're maybe a little more competitive group as a whole compared to last year."
Dillard noted Daijana Anderson will be a defensive force, and the development of junior middle blockers McKenna Cady and Olivea McCoy will be a key for the season. Other impact juniors include outside hitter Angela Yun, setter Lauren Schultz and libero Breanna Henley – a transfer from Arizona.
Imposing senior middle blockers Alexis Slater and Tia Briggs will be counted on to lead the Rams, who graduated a few key players but return a fairly experienced group.
"I think that so far the chemistry right off the bat caught my attention," said head coach Jenna Elliott. "They all play well together…we're more confident and more aggressive, which is really nice."
Sojournah Channel, a transfer from Spanaway Lake, will make an impact at outside hitter, while junior Rachel Russel steps into the setter spot. Senior Katie Ecklund will be key to the defensive effort at the libero position, and junior Savana Smith will see significant time as well on the right side.
Junior outside hitter Lyric Jones – a returning first team all-league pick – looks to lead a relatively inexperienced group with an up-and-coming crop of young talent.
"Based off what I've seen in tryouts, we are definitely a stronger team than last year, which is very exciting," said head coach Steve Johnson. "I like the mix of girls I have, there's a lot of energy and enthusiasm right now."
Senior Tita Ah-Hee joins Jones as another experienced leader at outside hitter, and Johnson said senior London Hughes has shown great athleticism and court awareness as a setter. Johnson has changed the Abes' formation because of a lack of height, but added that middle blocker Tamar Brown El has improved greatly and should make an impact.
The Falcons are continuing to get more numbers in their program, and will be paced by senior outside hitters Amber and Breanna Brown.
Head coach Ramon Maddox added that Shelondra Harris will be a huge producer at middle blocker, while sophomore Monica Villanueva should be solid as the setter.
Junior Kylie Thornton returns to man the libero position, while sophomore Naomi King will also be key as a defensive specialist.
"It's about establishing a good defense and working from there," said Maddox, adding that the Falcons have eyes on the postseason. "Our goal is to at least make it to sub-district (playoffs) and take it from there."
The Thunderbirds lost several seniors to graduation, but head coach Terry Lynn Thayer will look to senior outside hitters Rosalia Taula and Briana Pressley to lead the squad.
While Mount Tahoma is young, Thayer mentioned that the work ethic is there, and that players are picking up the system quickly.
Taula will team with talented junior Aliyah Carector – a versatile player – to serve as the team captains.
Thayer noted that the skill level is up across the board, and the Thunderbirds will rely on improved speed and fitness to be competitive in the Narrows 3A this fall.
Following a solid run to the state playoffs last year, the Eagles will look to continue their momentum as they return nearly their entire squad.
Senior outside hitter Grace Bouffiou returns to lead the squad, and rising junior Johnnise Moore is an imposing presence and can play outside hitter or middle blocker. Junior setter Carly Normandeau is another experienced leader, and junior Ashlee Hamilton will see a bigger role as a middle or right side hitter.
The team will flash a solid group of talented youth, led by sophomore libero Kylie Burton and sophomore outside hitter Maddy Long. Head coach Tracy King is also excited about freshmen Kaitlyn Konsmo and Veronica Midgett and expects them to contribute.
After another trip to the district playoffs, the Crusaders will look to all-league middle blocker Natalie Snyder to lead them even further.
Head coach Rusty Carlson noted that Snyder is solid in every facet of the game, and that senior outside hitter Sarah Morris will be counted on for offense.
"We're right there, we're knocking at the door to get to the next level," Carlson said. "We've been to district (playoffs) three years in a row, so it's time to go one more step."
Junior setter McKenna Neufeld is a great all-around athlete, and junior left side hitter Kathryn Carlson will be key as well. Junior libero Brittany Vandouris should lead the defensive effort, as the Crusaders will emphasize ball control in challenging for the league title.

Dog Nail Separated from Quick?
My dog's nail broke a few weeks back. The vet looked at it and said it looked like the quick was intact, so he let it be and gave my dog some antiobiotics for precaution. Well, naturally, my dog vomitted from the meds, so we discontinued with the vet's approval. Now, we noticed the dog's nail is completely up from the quick. Both the quick and nail feel really firm; you can't push them together at all. It looks like there was a little spot of dried blood on one side, but it looks intact now. And my dog didn't flinch at all when I touched either of these and examined them, and he's usually quite finicky. I posted photos at picasaweb.google.com Any thoughts? We've already spent several hundred at the vet this last two weeks (dog just got over a nasty GI tract bug) and he's an extremely nervous dog, so it's extremely difficult getting him to calm down for the vet to see him. Thanks!!

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I see what you are saying. The quick looks bigger then the actual nail. So no sensitivity in the quick? I don't know why the nail versus quick is so big and little. Like the quick is huge and the nail is small. so, to me , it looks infected or inflammed. Your dog is sensitive? Is it possible to take her to the vet and put a bandana over her eyes? I would. Sometimes with nails you have to have the whole nail removed and the vet boots it. Then the nail will grow back over better. that's one shot. Then the other is to soak the foot in warm water & Epsom salts found in the drug store by laxatives, do not let your dog drink or eat the wateror salts, it will make him sick. Soak 15min.in clean sterile bucket up to 3 x a day, every other day. If no luck return to vet.p.s. being sick, he could have some slow healing with nails also :)

A man allegedly was building a casket for the stepfather that he had killed by hitting him in the head and then dumping his body in the family pool.
Police arrested the man after he allegedly confessed to a church intern that he had killed his stepfather, according to court documents.
On Thursday night, the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office charged Bryon C. Harvey, 41, with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. Harvey lived with his stepfather and mother.
Hal D. Cornell, 70, was found dead at the bottom of a partially filled swimming pool Tuesday morning. He had been struck in the head.
The discovery was made by his wife and mother of the suspect.
Cornell had breakfast with his mother on Saturday morning, which was the last time anyone saw him alive. When Cornell's mother asked where he was on Monday, Harvey made up an excuse. When his mother confronted Harvey about where Cornell was, she could tell he wasn't truthful, according to court documents.
Harvey allegedly then showed her the body. Harvey initially told detectives that he found the body in the pool but didn't know what to do other than build a casket in the basement, according to court records.
On Wednesday night, Harvey went to International House of Prayer, 3335 E. Red Bridge Rd., where he allegedly talked to an intern for an hour. During the course of the conversation, Harvey allegedly told the intern that he had killed his stepfather.
"Harvey told him that he struck the victim in the head with a rock and threw him in the swimming pool. Harvey told the intern that he had lied to his family and the police about what occurred," according to court documents.
When taken in for questioning on Thursday, Harvey initially denied knowing anything. He later admitted to getting into a fight with his stepfather Saturday night, police said.
"He stated that the victim had a gun on him and so he struck him with a hammer and then held the hammer against the victim's neck to hold him down," according to court documents. "Harvey stated that he walked away from the victim and he heard him moving in the bushes, so he then approached the victim and struck him with a sledge hammer. Harvey advised that this all occurred by the garage and that he carried the victim to the back of the house and threw his body in the swimming pool."
Police spent Thursday combing through the residence. Among the items taken into evidence was a dolly.
A neighbor said Cornell raised Harvey and considered him his son. The victim's wife had moved in with her daughter who lives nearby to help her raise her children.
Neighbor Gene Lundy said Thursday that Harvey had just lost his job and the two men were home alone over the weekend. Lundy said he had an encounter Saturday with the son that he will never forget. He said the son was in a frenzy and said his father was driving him crazy. Lundy said he offered to call 911 when the son fell to the ground, but the son insisted he was OK. However, he said much of the conversation was incoherent and bizarre.
Lundy has known Cornell for more than 30 years.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX rises on boosts from oil, gold; Valeant slumps
(Updates prices)
* TSX up 18.95 points, or 0.15 percent, at 12,816.74
* Eight of the TSX's 10 main groups rise
TORONTO, Feb 29 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose on Monday as gains in oil and precious metals prices drove energy and gold mining stocks higher, while Valeant Pharmaceuticals International weighed heavily after delaying its earnings report.
The price of oil was higher after strong gains last week on increasing hopes the market has bottomed out and as OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia said it would work with other producers to limit oil market volatility.
Suncor Energy Inc advanced 1.1 percent to C$33.26 and Canadian Natural Resources gained 1.4 percent to C$27.77. The energy group climbed 1.2 percent.
Gold was on track for its biggest monthly gain in four years, as the precious metal rediscovers its role as a shelter for risk-averse investors in the face of tumbling equities and fears of a global economic slowdown.
Barrick Gold Corp advanced 1.7 percent to C$18.58, Goldcorp Inc advanced 1.3 percent to C$18.97.
The materials group, which includes precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies, added 1.1 percent. Continued...

I have a 2006 Cadillac STS with the non-navigation bose stereo system. The dealership that I purchased this from has activated the XM 'trial' subscription for 30 days. I have been able to identify that the black 'fin' antenna on the roof is for the satellite radio functionality. I have a handheld Delphi MyFi radio with an active XM subscription that I use in my 2000 Cadillac SLS, but connected to an antenna I installed myself on the roof. Does anyone know if I can install my portable XM radio into the 2006 Cadillac STS and hook it to the roof antenna all ready installed on the vehicle? I am assuming this antenna has to feed back to the receiver somehow, any idea which wire(s)?
In advance, anyone asking why I'd like to use my Delphi MyFi instead of activating an account on my dash receiver, it's because I only want one active XM account and I'd rather have it on a portable device I can plug into my home receiver as well as my car receiver.

: Better second day hair technique
I apologize in advance if someone has already figured it out and "named" it something.. but I stumbled upon it today and thought it might help someone.
My hair: 3a, porous, very fine.
What I use to refresh: a spray bottle with 1/4 avg and the rest water.
What I usually do: flip my head upside down and spray/scrunch until damp, air dry. This refreshes the curl and gives me shape but I have frizz throughout, broken apart curls, and uneven dampness. It's also drippy.
What I did different: I sectioned my hair like I was going to curl or straighten it. Mine is two sections on top on either side of my part, two in the back, one on each side, and one for my bangs.Twisted each section up and clipped so it was out of the way. Starting at the bottom and working up I took a small section of hair (this would depend on your thickness I think, mine is fine and my sections were about 1"x2"). Starting at the roots I wrapped the section around my finger, slid it off and held the still curled up hair in my hand next to my scalp. I sprayed one spray into my hand and squished the hair until it no longer made a "squishy" sound, then sprayed again and repeated until it was saturated. I'm not sure how to explain "saturated" but there was a change in the sound and it felt different. Important that you work each spray one at a time, does not work if you spray a bunch at once, the water just runs out instead of getting squished in. I then let the hair go and it formed a perfect ringlet curl. I did this to my entire head, took about 15-20 minutes. No dripping and it didn't feel soggy wet, I think it's because right next to the scalp was dry. Let air dry, took about an hour. Flipped it over and gave it a light shake to break it up a little, but I think you could leave it alone as well if you want very defined curls, it didn't go anywhere while it was air drying. I had next to no frizz (the slightest bit on the crown), and very defined curls all day. Went out to my barn twice in the heat and humidity for over an hour each time (and it was quite windy today as well) did a bunch of housework, and had a major catastrophe when our water hose to the washer burst and flooded two rooms of our house, and my hair still looks good!
Of course YMMV and those with coarse hair will probably want to use a harder gel or whatever they normally like for their hair. Hope it helps someone.

To most NFL fans, the term Wildcat conjures up an image of a running back receiving the snap. Whether or not this lends an element of diversity to a team's attack is debatable. More certain are the formation's implications to the offensive coordinator: that during running plays his team is no longer at a numerical disadvantage to the defense.
Usually when a quarterback hands off, he proceeds to take himself out of the mix, thus leaving the offense with but 10 players matched up against the defense's 11. The Wildcat, in contrast, provides a contingency blocker. In any event, like many "innovations" in sport (as well as art and fashion), the Wildcat is actually a homage to the past — in football's case, the venerable single-wing. Continue reading

Review: 3 Custom Color Speicalists Mood Lighting Shimmer Cremes
3 Custom Color Specialists Mood Lighting Shimmer Cremes ($20.50) are a sophisticated take on sparkle that go on light and creamy, and dry down to a fine, powdery finish. These silky crèmes are applied with fingertips to the face and decollete, leaving you luminous. Available in 2 shades: Afterglow (pearlescent champagne with flecks of gold and violet) and On Fire (bronzed shimmer with a swirl of opalescence.)
I really like to use On Fire in the hollows of my cheek bones for definition, then dot Afterglow on the cheek bones. Afterglow is perfect to use on cheek bones, eyebrow bones, cupid's bow and I even use it to draw a thin line down the center of my nose, to make it look thinner. The creme dries to a lovely, fine powder that lasts I'd say about half the day. But it's easy to just throw the compacts in your purse makeup bag. Or you can have them packaged in a refillable trio, including Champagne Eyeshadow as pictured below, for $60.
