For steadfast fans of Mount St. Joseph Academy basketball, watching last week's second and third-round games in the District 1 tournament was like witnessing the Catholic Academies tournament all over again. First, the Magic pulled out a five-point win against an opponent many people thought they would beat more easily, and then they put on a commanding performance against a much more highly regarded rival.
For the Mount, the second seed in the district, the equivalent of the 45-40 league semifinal against Merion Mercy was last Wednesday's 49-44 second-round district win over 18th seeded Central Bucks East.
Next, the Magic's 57-41 league championship victory over Villa Maria on February 13 was echoed by an even more resounding triumph last Saturday, when Mount St. Joe skinned the Bears of Boyertown High School (the seventh seed), 62-24. Junior guard Alex Louin scored 36 points in the Mount's two outings last week.
Having played their first three tourney games at home, the Mounties (25-2 overall) now will shift to Norristown High School for a Wednesday semifinal against number three Upper Dublin High School (24-1). The Cardinals' starting line-up includes junior forward Regan Gallagher, who attended the Mount as a freshman and sophomore.
Meanwhile, a tidbit of news drifted in from the middle of the state, where the District 3 quarterfinals took place on Friday night. Sixth-seeded Central Dauphin East, the only team to beat Upper Dublin all season, pulled out a 59-57 victory over number three Cumberland Valley, which is one of just two ballclubs to get the better of the Mount this winter.
For last Wednesday's second-round District 1 clash, C.B. East arrived at the Mount following a first-round victory over Conestoga High School, a win that yielded an overall mark of 16-7. Within the Continental Conference of the Suburban One League, East finished in fourth place with an 8-5 record.
The Patriots almost certainly would've put up better numbers if they'd been able to retain the services of junior Margaret Anne Hubbell. A forward who had played at East for two seasons, Hubbell joined another set of "Patriots" at Germantown Academy this year, earning a spot on the All-Inter-Ac League first team.
C.B. East still has a significant inside presence in 6'2" junior Courtney Webster, and this obviously was a defensive concern for the Mount Magic.
"We wanted to create a lot of ball movement to keep her from staying in one spot in the paint," revealed MSJ junior forward Carly Monzo.
The Mount's Louin recorded 10 of her team's first dozen points as the contest unfolded. Nailing her second three-pointer in the waning seconds of the opening quarter, she then scored off a rebound at the start of round two for a 12-4 MSJ lead.
After that, though, the Patriots got two buckets from Webster during an 8-3 rally that made it a three-point affair (15-12) with three-and-a-half minutes to go until halftime. With a baseline drive by freshman Libby Tacka and a "three" by senior Adrienne Cellucci, the Magic put down the uprising. Near then end of the period they led by 10 points, but East's Kyra Scaliti converted off a rebound at the buzzer to make it 24-16 at the break.
Tacka was having a good night on defense, and was primarily responsible for shutting down Patriots perimeter shooter Morgan Kelly, who totaled just two points all night after dropping 20 on Conestoga in the opening round of Districts. However, a guard similar in stature and style, Karoline White, came on for East in the second half, when she rang up 12 of her team-high 14 points.
It was a triple by White and five straight points from Scaliti that allowed the Patriots to tighten the score to 28-26 in the middle of the third quarter as East continued to show its staying power. As in the second round, an inside score by Tacka followed by a "three" from Cellucci opened things up again for Mount St. Joe.
After East got two points back from White, the period ended with a nice MSJ inbounds play from midcourt, with Tacka's pass catching Louin on the run to make it 35-28 for the start of the final frame.
The next two minutes saw the Magic assume their largest lead of the night at 38-28, and it started with a trip to the foul line by Louin. She made the first shot, and when her second toss missed, Monzo leapt in for the rebound and scored.
Monzo noted, "Those are some of my favorite plays, when I can get a shot off of a free throw like that."
Although the Mount went on to gain a 10-point advantage, East kept battling. Webster furnished all of the Patriots' points in a 7-2 run that set the score at 40-35 with a little over five minutes remaining. From there, the score seesawed up to 46-41 as the clock carved into the final minute of play. MSJ's Cellucci and Tacka each made one of two foul shots, and the foul against Tacka was the fifth for the Patriots' Kelly, who departed with 26 ticks to go.
With 14 seconds remaining, White cut the lead back to four points (48-44) with a three-pointer from the left wing, but a few moments later she too fouled out, while Tacka tabbed the first of two free throws to put the final score on the board. The Mount had the ball in its hands at the buzzer, thanks to a steal at midcourt by Cellucci.
She finished with nine points, while Louin led the winners with 19 and Tacka tossed in 10. Six points from Monzo and five from senior forward Meg Geatens completed the scoresheet. In the losing cause, White wound up with 14 points and Webster with 13.
"White and the big girl were playing off one another really nicely," Monzo said about East's fourth quarter performance. "Our defense wasn't on the same page on the pick-and-roll. We're working on that so we do better the next time."
Monzo certainly walked that talk three days later as the Magic confronted an even better big post player, Boyertown's 6'1" Kaitlyn Eisenhard. Coming into the game at Mount St. Joe, the sturdy Bears senior needed just six points to set a new school scoring record of 1374 points. She reached that milestone, but with no room to spare, finishing with six on the nose thanks to a fourth-quarter lay-up.
"Carly Monzo did a terrific job defensively on their big girl, and really made her work," remarked Mount coach John Miller. "She denied Eisenhard the ball most of the game, and if she did catch it, whoever our closest player was would double-team her."
Every athlete on the floor wanted to reach the district semifinals, but Monzo and the other juniors and seniors on the MSJ team had some added incentive to beat Boyertown. When the Magic and their fans expected to earn a spot in the state tournament semifinals back in 2011, it was the Bears who ended the Mount's season in the quarterfinal round.
Prior to last Saturday's contest, Monzo said "We'll be looking for some revenge for my freshman year."
The MSJ defense never allowed the Bears more than seven points a quarter, going up 27-14 by halftime and then really putting the hammer down after that.
The tally for the final two periods was 35-10, and the winners landed four different scorers in double-figures. Monzo and Geatens each posted 10 points, Louin had the game-high of 17, and Cellucci was right behind her, with 16. The Ursinus-bound Cellucci, who has been raising her game at exactly the right time of year, knocked down three three-point shots, and Tacka struck once from beyond the loop. The Magic also received two points apiece from junior Colleen Steinmetz, sophomore Emily Carpenter, and freshman Sarah Wills.
With a team-high seven points, Boyertown's Dee Terry finished one point ahead of the embattled Eisenhard.
"When you looked at their boxscores throughout the season, it was obvious that Boyertown went the way that Eisenhard went," observed MSJ's Miller. "Containing her would be the main factor in winning, and I really emphasized that point to the girls. They went out and did a tremendous job of executing our game plan."

As much as I dislike the idea of umpires with their heads stuck under black hoods to make games even longer, the momentum of force and time may finally be giving baseball instant replay whether we like it or not. Thank you, umpires, for being so consistently, stupidly wrong on outfield home runs calls this season. I blame you for this.
Of course, MLB owners voted in favor of an instant replay initiative this past November, but Bud Selig lost the manila folder with all the votes and everyone's phone numbers. He thought it would all be forgotten, but owing in no small part to the recent rash of umpire goofs — they took a homer away from Alex Rodriguez, after all — it looks like the camera is on its way in for real this time. What would Max Mercy say?
Baseball is developing tentative plans to experiment with replay during the Fall League and likely would continue testing, if it's successful, during the 2009 World Baseball Classic, ESPN.com reported Thursday.
OK, but let's make sure that instant replay will not be abused. It should ONLY be used for:
• Disputed home run calls.
• Is ball fair or foul?
• Determining whether Rick Sutcliffe is sober.
• Showing cartoons during rain delays.
• Deciphering Joe Morgan comments.
• Locating hot babes in stands.

This weekend I started getting out my Valentines decorations. I usually wait way too long and then it seems like I don't even really get to enjoy them ;)
Once I put everything up I realized I really wanted a cute printable that went with my color scheme. Unfortunately for me...I am the ONLY person that doesn't do red at Valentines :) SO...I had to get creative and come up with something myself.
I thought I would share just in case anyone else is crazy like me and thinks turquoise is a festive color for ANY holiday ;)
Feel free to right click, save, and print away!! I made it in an 8x10 size, perfect for the finishing touch on a mantel.
Anyone else decorate in different colors???

channelfuse needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 79 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
For more information about us, kindly refer to http://www.channelfuse.com .
The website is for students, teenagers..basically a younger audience. But at the same time, it deals with academics and career. So the logo must balance between the two.
We need a log that appeals to the youth. Preferred color of blue or orange over a white BG (transparent BG).
A couple of examples that fit this criteria are - http://grab.by/3kkt , http://grab.by/3kkT , http://grab.by/3kkW .
basically, it should be very simple, but yet very effective.
The entire website would be on a white BG, with minimalist effects. So, a color like blue orange should put more focus on the logo, and thats why it needs to be innovative and perfect.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

The only way this book could be better is if the artists who worked at UPA were all still alive to be interviewed. Thankfully, many were interviewed before their deaths by animation historians such as John Canemaker, Michael Barrier, Leonard Maltin and Karl Cohen and author Adam Abraham has accessed this information as well as trade publications, studio records, letters, etc. to write the most detailed history of UPA to date.
What struck me most while reading this book was how continually precarious UPA's existence was. There were, of course, the early days when finding any work was a life or death situation for the company. However, even when they got a contract to do theatrical shorts for Columbia, the first two contracts were only for two cartoons apiece.
Other threats to the studio's existence had to do with the various partners. While some studios were owned by individuals, such as Leon Schesinger, or partnerships such as the Disney brothers or Harman and Ising, UPA started with three partners and often had more. The inevitable artistic and business conflicts that developed due to the many owners and ownership changes meant that the studio never had a genuinely steady hand on the till. Producer Steve Busustow was only nominally in control, always having to deal with competing partners.
UPA also had the problem of being born at the same time that television was changing the entertainment landscape. It had less time than other studios to solidify it's sensibility and to create characters popular with audiences.
Finally, UPA was the animation studio hit hardest by the 1950s witch hunt for Communists in the film industry. It forced out John Hubley, arguably the studio's heart and soul, as well as Phil Eastman, a top story man. Writer Bill Scott was collateral damage, as he was laid off at the same time as Eastman to disguise that the move was political.
With all these problems, the studio managed to create interesting films. Its peak years were brief; the most memorable films were released from 1949 to 1952. Yet the studio changed the look of animation in North America and inspired foreign studios like Zagreb as well.
Abraham's book covers it all: the budgets, the personnel, the satellite studios, the sponsored films and the many sales of the company to corporate interests. There are interesting tidbits about individuals here, such as director Bobe Cannon's bathing habits and animator Pat Matthews' brain surgery.
The studio was controlled by artists, but those artists had trouble staying on budget and often were so in love with their imagery that they forgot about the audiences they were trying to please. Abraham's book tells the story of UPA's triumphs and tragedies in a way that's both enlightening and cautionary. The book is valuable beyond the historical facts for anyone who dreams of running a studio or who hopes to break out of a commercial straitjacket. UPA solidified a graphical revolution in animation, but didn't have the organization or luck to profit from it for more than a short time.

Book Review: When Magoo Flew

An excellent review, Mark, of an excellent book.
Abraham really did his homework, though at times it feels a bit like listing films and their info. There's such an enormous look at all the politics before the studio was up and running, during and even after. It's quite striking.
I think the dvd recently released by TCM is an important companion piece to feel the artistry that comes through the films. The sense of the films doesn't really come through the book, but the history sure does.

Howard Cooper's lessons for rewarding employee, customer loyalty

Michigan dealer Howard Cooper generously decided to cap his career by awarding employees with $1,000 for each year of service.
And as a customer of the dealership, the act didn't surprise me one bit. I bought my first, and only, new car from Howard Cooper Honda in 2008. My parents were longtime customers of the dealership, too. Why? Because of how well the dealership and the staff treated our family.
That's all well and good, but it's also good business -- and a lesson for how a dealer can retain generations of loyal customers.
I grew up in Ann Arbor, Mich. When I was a kid, my parents owned a 1993 Accord sedan that they had serviced at Howard Cooper. After a few years and about 50,000 miles, they took the Accord to the dealership for scheduled maintenance. I remember being in the service lobby, waiting for the car to be done when the service manager told my parents some bad news.
The manager said the clutch was shot. My folks knew it wasn't, and told the manager. But the manager was concerned that the car was unsafe with the clutch slipping as much as his technicians said it was.
Eventually, he relented, but not before making a promise.
"He said, 'OK. I think the clutch is bad. You can take the car home, but when you come back to have it replaced -- whenever that may be -- we'll fix it and we'll pay for half,'" I remember my dad saying, recalling what the manager told him.
It turned out that the clutch was fine after all. (We think the tech was trying to drive it up the service ramp in third gear or something like that.) The old Rosewood-colored Accord soldiered on for another ten years or so, racking up at least 100,000 more miles along the way.
Finally, after I had inherited the Accord as a college student, the clutch finally broke down.
We took the car back to the dealership to have it replaced. And ten years later, the dealership put in a new clutch -- for half price. They kept their promise.
During those 10 years, my parents had all their new vehicle maintenance done at the dealership, and bought another Accord from Howard Cooper. When I got my first job, I bought my first car from Howard Cooper, too. Just goes to show what keeping promises can do, even if that one deal is a money-loser.
I must admit I was a little saddened to hear that Howard Cooper was selling his dealership to Germain Motor Co. of Columbus, Ohio. I never met Howard Cooper. But his staff exposed me at a very young age to the right way to do business.

Beautification year proclaimed by Regan
County Executive Edward V. Regan Monday signed a proclamation designating November 1972-November 1973 as Beautification Year in Erie County.
The proclamation was written to encourage area citizens to accept community responsibility by taking a personal part in the Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce drive to make Erie County the cleanest and most beautiful county in the nation. ...
In a statement to press and television, the county executive said,
"Erie County, located in the heart of the world-famous Niagara Region and the gateway to Canada, has much to offer - but our image, as an attractive, growing area should be improved.
"We possess scenic attributes, a huge industrial complex, excellent recreational activities, and spectator sports that are second to none. We are building a new stadium that is sure to become one of the best in the land.
"Will our stadium visitors want to come back and visit us again? Will we attract new prosperous business ventures and new residents? Will we become know as a clean and beautiful area? The answers to these questions are up to all of us ... ."

Another landmark lost to fire
Smoke in the vicinity of Beaver Island was the first telephoned alarm called into the fire company about 7 a.m. yesterday morning, sending men and equipment to the blaze that totally destroyed the casino in the park. Additional help was quickly obtained from Sheridan Fire Company on the mainland and five other off-Island companies, but the fully involved facility was beyond saving.
Damage to the building, constructed in the 1930s, shortly after the bridges opened to traffic, was estimated at $3 million. Cause of the fire is under investigation. ...

Peace Bridge public meeting set for Nov. 14
The Peace Bridge expansion Project is considering a total of five alternatives to the present location which impact the Town of Grand Island.
Two of those alternatives actually cross Grand Island, while the remaining three cross the Niagara River in the vicinity of Strawberry Island. While these are not the preferred sites, all five remain as possibilities.
If ultimately selected, each of these sites present numerous significant, inescapable and extremely negative impacts for this community and our environment.
A representative of the project will conduct a public information meeting ... Nov. 14 in the courtroom at Grand Island Town Hall.

X-Factor: Changes in Martinez's game pays dividendsby Dan Rosen
A minor change in Alec Martinez's mindset coming out of the break for the 2014 Sochi Olympics led to a major breakthrough in his game, lifting the Los Angeles Kings defenseman into a more prominent role heading into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"It's no secret that teams are focused on blocking shots and guys are really good at it, so as defensemen we had to focus on getting more shots through," Martinez told NHL.com. "I've just been trying to get 'em to the net. With our style of play, the forwards get in on the forecheck and you want to grind teams down, so if we can make that low-to-high play and get that shot through we can create some scoring opportunities."
With one simple adjustment Martinez has become a bigger factor in the Kings' offense. He's given them a desperately needed shot in the arm.
Martinez scored seven goals (on 32 shots) and had 15 points in the final 22 games after scoring four times on 47 shots and registering seven points in his first 39 games.
He's gone from occasional healthy scratch before the Olympics (16 times in total) to Drew Doughty's defense partner on the point of the Kings' first power-play unit, which also features Marian Gaborik, Jeff Carter and Anze Kopitar. Doughty missed the final four games of the regular season, but should be able to play in Game 1 against the San Jose Sharks.
Martinez had three goals and four assists and averaged more than two minutes of ice time per game on the power play in his 22 games after the Olympic break. He had four minutes of power-play ice time in three games. Prior to the break he was averaging approximately 1:30 of ice time per game on the second power-play unit.
"If you look at that power-play unit, I mean, Drew Doughty is on that, and if you can't play with that guy you've got serious problems," Martinez said. "He's one of the best, if not the best d-man in the League. He's making plays. Then you've got Jeff Carter making plays and capable of putting the puck in the net, Marian Gaborik, and, obviously, Kopitar being one of the best centermen in the League. I've just been a benefactor of them making good plays and maybe a little bit of luck in there too.
"I've been able to put the puck in the net a little bit and that certainly helps and opens up some more doors. I'm just trying to keep my game at an elite level here and, hopefully, carry it into the playoffs."
It's no secret the Kings don't score a lot, especially in 5-on-5 situations, but that only makes their power play more important. The man-advantage unit paced L.A.'s offense in the 23 games after the Olympics, clicking at 19.7 percent (14-for-67), more than four percent better than the Kings' season average.
Martinez was part of the solution which got the power play going and the offense rolling. He has to continue to be part of the answer in the playoffs if the Kings want to score enough to advance.
"Post-Olympic break the power play was extremely important," Kings television analyst Jim Fox said. "It became efficient. It scored third-period [goals], game-winning goals, and Alec was a part of a lot of those. That's an X-factor in itself. If that stays as it has been then watch out, because then it gives the Kings the element they need."

I am a gun owner, and like some others I have grave concerns about the use of guns in the commission of a crime. However, the actions taken by our legislature only penalize the law abiding citizen. Legislators had the chance to accept an amendment to the proposed law that would have increased penalties for gun crime offenders. The law abiding citizen is not the problem. The problem is our legislature's failure, as well as that of the judicial branch, penalize the criminal. Use a gun to commit a crime, and chances are the courts will only slap the hands of the criminal and eventually let them back on the street commit another crime. There should be mandatory minimum time in jail without parole.

Victory Magazine
ATLANTA - In the United States of America, an inconvenient truth sits in plain sight. Children are soft targets for murderers, kidnappers, pedophiles and as evidenced in the tragic Sandy Hook killings, the mentally unstable.
After the killings, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg may have uttered one of the most ironic statements to date. "This is an outrage. We are killing each other and we're the only industrialized country in the world doing it."
If the twenty 6-7 year olds murdered in cold blood is an outrage, its astonishing that little outrage exists for children who are wantonly murdered each day by paid doctors and their own mothers. But in this industrialized, progressive country we call America, its legal. And what's more, its a booming business.
It's something that Dr. Alveda King, the niece of civil rights lion Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. relentlessly works to end. The possibility may still be distant, but her passion and drive are unmistakably in the now. King is a woman at the core of dealing with the abortion holocaust in America.
"The lives of all children are sacred, even those who are incubated and growing in the womb of a mother," she said in an exclusive interview with Victory Magazine.
Mrs. King shared what she sees as a wider, deeper problem requiring more comprehensive strategies and partnerships from concerned individuals.
As director of the African American outreach for Priests for Life, an arm of Catholic prolife efforts, Mrs. King's northwest Atlanta office is jammed with books, tapes, papers, dvds and other material like an arsenal of information ready to be deployed to the ignorant.
"It's not a natural thing for a woman to want to abort her child, she said in an almost hushed tone. " And women who have abortions also have a greater risk of premature births. African American women have the highest percentage of abortions. We are only 13% of America's population but we have a third of all abortions. That's 18 million abortions since 1973. (the year abortion was legalized in America)."
"That's 18 million less African American children. Perhaps there was a Barack Obama in that number. Or a John Lewis. Or a Condelezza Rice or a Whitney Houston in that number. We may never know because their lives were taken from them before they got the opportunity to even cry their first cry.
Mrs. King's insight into the passe attitude of the black community is both personal and observational. A core issue she believes is the misunderstanding and lack of teaching on responsible sexuality.
"Whites are much better at evangelizing their kids. They still have problems but a lot of the youth movement are white kids. The caucasions get it. They say "if I dont get my kids to understand and believe this, we are lost."
That insight also comes with her own stained past. The 59 year old mother of six adult children who divorced three times and twice aborted children, knows her past contains its own valuable lessons for those she seeks to connect with. The first time she aborted, she said, the doctor deceived her. Mrs. King uses a lot of anecdotal vignettes based on her own family to tell her story of the struggle to educate others on sexuality and what she believes are sex based issues at the root.
Mrs. King said there are issues that need the attention of the current prolife movement. Its language doesn't seem to translate well to the urban, hip-hop community which dominates the culture. Even one book written by black prolife leaders reads like a dissertation to affluent minds, rather than kids on the street. The disconnect, she noted, is problematic if the movement is to be passed on the the next generation.
But after almost a decade on the front lines of the abortion wars, she pauses to look forward and contemplate what is ahead for her and others who dedicate themselves to saving lives for Christ.
"The year 2013 will mark several significant landmark anniversaries including 150 years since the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, 100 years since the formation of the Federal Reserve System, 50 years since the MLK "I have a dream" speech, and 40 years of legal abortion in America with the passage of Roe versus Wade. This will surely be a year of transition and there is a need for a deep spiritual awakening. "
"While many women who were abolitionists ended up becoming women rights activists, bitterness caused them to adopt a contraceptives agenda and finally an abortion agenda to exercise what they considered to be rights over their wombs. So now we have a war on babies and the wombs often led by women and men controlled by a desire for revenge and avarice."
Unquestionably, public enemy number one remains Planned Parenthood, the long armed organization founded by Margaret Sanger, a white woman who openly wrote that "[negro children] are human weeds...who should have never been born" Her goal was the extermination of such children. The largely white-run organization's financial reports show it profits in billions of dollars exterminating children. Its clinics are conveniently always located in or near poor communities of color.
"We're dealing with a three headed monster – Racism, Reproductive Genocide and Sexual Immorality – all three sustained by a tainted beastly heart." said King. In the end she said with a sober voice, we have to change people's hearts and win souls to Christ.

Social Distortion's cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" came on the satellite radio as we made the turn off for the Bonneville Salt Flats. It felt somehow appropriate. Racing hasn't started and already, the place is awesome. Gallery below.
We landed in LAX last night at 11 PM with one bag full of camping gear and one of clothes, picked up a car and headed north towards Wendover, stopping only in Vegas to pick up supplies and watch the sunrise over Sin City. By noon we were stepping foot onto the most legendary salt in the world. By 12:15 it was decided this is going to be a spectacular week. The rain has kept at bay, and the salt is hard and smooth, the temperatures are cool for August, in the 70's for the weekend and in the 90's towards the end. It'll make for denser air and fast times for the beginning of the week.
Yesterday was only Friday and the pits are already a mile long, filled with everything from cobbled together garage machines, Caminos and Rancheros and tons of retro rods have descended to take in the spectacle. Tech is busy working through inspections with all kinds of cool stuff, high dollar streamliners, belly tankers, giant-turbo'd RX7's (seriously the bus turbo on the blue RX-7 is almost as big as the block), diesels, a modified Honda Dream of all things. The Buick Straight 8 is a flipping amazing piece of machinery.

Book Review: 'Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts' by Mitzi Szereto
October 1, 2011 in Book Reviews, Reviews by pacejmiller
There has been a recent influx of books which are essentially rewrites of out-of-copyright classic books and characters — but with a wacky twist, usually involving zombies and vampires. The most successful one is based on Jane Austen's period romance, Pride and Prejudice (ie, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which has apparently been adapted into a film with Natalie Portman).
And so I guess it was only a matter of time before someone took Jane Austen's enduring classic and turned it into an erotic farce. That's exactly what Mitzi Szereto has done with Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts, an 'erotic parody' detailing the sexual escapades of beloved literary characters such as Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy. It's a wild and hilarious ride that will likely polarise readers — those who believe Austen's masterpiece has been defiled in the worst possible way (even worse than zombies), and those who think it's a bloody brilliant idea.
Szereto is an experienced erotic fiction writer and editor, and it's abundantly clear that she is also a skilled writer and Austen fan. Hidden Lusts may follow the plot and progression of the original and contain all the same characters, but the actual text of Austen's work is used sparingly. A page by page comparison of the first chapter of the two books showed only a couple of short verbatim passages. The language used is genuinely Austen-esque, with none of the overtly sexual or crass vocabulary you would expect from an erotic novel. Szereto has captured Austen's voice and tone and the essence of her characters so well that you might've believed that it was written by Austen herself — but for all the lustful thoughts and naughty shenanigans that appear in just about every chapter!
Bear in mind, Hidden Lusts is more parody than erotica, as just about everything is written with tongue firmly in cheek (and sometimes other things in cheek — literally), so chances are you'll be finding yourself laughing out loud at the outrageous thoughts and actions of these traditionally uptight characters rather than feeling a bulge in your 'breeches' (which tends to happen in the book whenever characters cross paths!).
The kind of devilishly filthy stuff Szereto's imagination conjures up is impressive. Every character is either a closet homosexual or sexual deviant or both. A few characters are given particularly harsh treatment. Have you ever wondered what Mr Bennett was doing locked away in his study all day? Have you ever wondered if Lydia Bennett was a nymphomaniac? Have you ever thought Mr Collins was a little gay? Have you ever been suspicious of the close relationship between Mr Darcy and his close friend Mr Bingley? Hidden Lusts has the answers.
You will probably need to have read Pride and Prejudice (or its 'rewrites') or seen one of the many film or TV adaptations to be able to fully appreciate the humour and wit of Szereto's work. My last memory had been the 2005 film adaptation starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennett, Matthew Macfadyen (soon to be one of the Musketeers) as Mr Darcy, Donald Sutherland as Mr Bennett and Jena Malone as Lydia Bennett — which made it both hilarious and disturbing to be picturing these actors as I read the book.
Some of the erotic sequences do get a little repetitive after a while despite Szereto's best efforts to keep them fresh and varied, but it's hard to avoid in a 266-page book. The upside is that you'll be giggling along with all the lewd craziness in anticipation of the glorious final hurrah between Miss Bennett and Mr Darcy. This is my first erotic parody and provided it's as well written as this one I'd certainly be open to reading more.

VIM :: man pages invokation shortcut
I have finally found it. The very important shortcut I was missing long time. I knew it was there - but never actually managed to dig it up.
That's simple. It replaces my now archaic ":!man ".expand("<cword>") - use word under cursor and invoke 'K'eyword program on it. Keyword program is normally man. Can be configured with option 'keywordprg' (
:help 'keywordprg' for more info).
If keywordprg is man, then VIM provides another cool feature: repeat count when used with K now tells to go to particular man section. e.g. 3K would invoke "man 3" on current word. What is very very cool.

Fun in Room 4B
You know my district has a few lessons like this in our writing curriculum but with different language obviously. They make it an anchor chart and it is always kind of blah. This has so much pizzazz I love it. The only difference I would make would be to add a picture of the text/ front cover for my little kids that can't read.ReplyDelete
Love the portable board deal. I do some of that during the year with some of our theme stuff. It's wonderful to be able to move and tuck away if needed.
Your so brilliant. :) Miss chatting my friend. Hope to catch up with you soon.
What a great idea! I do so many mini-lessons with Reading Workshop and am struggling to manage the cafe board. I feel like my kids don't use it either. This is so much easier, as it really puts it out there for kids to USE the strategies, since the transfer from lessons in reading barely show up in my kids' writing.

Everybody loves sharing their opinions on the Internet, sometimes about important, world-changing things like politics, religion, human rights or cat declawing, and sometimes about unimportant things, like movies.
And as everyone knows, the best part about sharing opinions is the chance to smugly tell other people that their opinions are wrong. Almost every heated movie discussion has someone pulling out one of these stupid, nonsensical lines.
If you've ever called out the Transformers movies for being stupid, you've probably run into some idiot saying, "Well, it's just a big, dumb action movie with robots and explosions! If you don't like robots and explosions, you should go watch the artsy movies you obviously want to watch, like Atonement."
I'm not exaggerating, I've seen people who objected to Transformers' stupidity referred to Atonement, because that is obviously the kind of movie they were hoping to see. Like these people think you were walking into the theater hoping to see a period piece about longing and redemption or something, and your monocle fell out when giant robots started blowing things up.
Basically, they're implying that all action movies are by necessity plotless, boring, humorless and full of characters you either hate or don't care about. If you demand one line of dialogue that doesn't make you gag, or one character you can relate to, these people will yell at you to buy a ticket to Atonement. (It's almost always Atonement, I think because the title is easy to remember.)
I don't want Transformers to be Atonement. I want it to be Die Hard or Iron Man or Terminator 2 or even True Lies. Cheesy? Over the top? Full of explosions and ambiguously sketched terrorists? Perfect! I don't care if the hero hangs the bad guy on a missile and fires it into a building while telling him he is fired, as long as he has a reason to do it, as opposed to just checking his watch and going, "Oh, it's time for this scene in the movie."
Just because we want smarter dialogue than "Bumblebee, stop lubricating the man!" doesn't mean we want characters talking about feelings or commitment or the meaning of life. There's hundreds of levels of dialogue intelligence between the retarded lines given to Sam's parents and a Shakespearean soliloquy. "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker" will do just fine for a "dumb action movie," and even "Yippee-ki-yay, Mister Falcon" would be an improvement.
In fact, if Optimus Prime had said that exact line while Bumblebee peed on John Turturro, it would have significantly improved the movie.
If you've only watched the movie version of something based on popular books or comics, you've probably found yourself with a number of unanswered questions, like "Why did Harry Potter set that boy on fire for no reason?" or "Why are Wolverine and Professor X always holding hands?" It's always annoying to run into a fan who explains patiently that it all makes perfect sense if only you read the books.
They'll explain how the books make it quite clear that the boy was really an evil wood golem or that Wolverine and Professor X got married in the comics, and don't you feel silly for making it sound like a plot hole now.
One real life example is Star Wars, which, aside from the six movies most of us know about, has an entire "expanded universe" of comics, novels, games and other media, a great deal of which is apparently better than the prequels. Which isn't saying much, because untreated kidney stones are better than the prequels. But anyone picking on any plot inconsistencies, or asking why some random character appears in a scene without introduction and is never mentioned again, is referred to the comics or books to explain why this is a totally important and interesting character with a rich history.
The thing is, you shouldn't have to do homework or required reading before seeing a movie in order to understand it. Movies are a story in a roughly two-hour package, and they have to use those two hours to let you know who's who, what's going on and why you should care. Even James Bond movies usually spend the first sequence showing you how good he is at killing people and how he always gets a free woman to sleep with afterward, for the two audience members unfamiliar with how James Bond works.
You're supposed to relax and let the movie take you on a ride into its world. Movies are sold as an escape, not as another source of obligation. Can you imagine being asked to go see the latest Harry Potter movie and having to tell your friends, "Oh, I can't. I've been trying really hard to cram for it, but I've still got 10 chapters to read. I've just been so busy this week …" and them shaking their heads in disappointment at you? Or watching Star Wars Episode II knowing you've not only wasted the two and a half hours watching the actual movie but the two weeks of studying the comics in preparation for it?
I can understand wanting to get further into the universe of some movie if you really enjoyed it, or being able to get more tidbits about your favorite character from additional stories, but it should be optional. You shouldn't have to stare bewildered at some character exploding for no apparent reason as a penalty for not doing your homework.
"I saw The Matrix back when it was called Dark City." "The Hunger Games is just a Battle Royale rip-off." "I can't believe they're making this Lion King movie, all we need is another Hamlet adaptation." Chances are you've heard something along these lines, whether about those movies or countless others.
Originality is actually pretty overrated when it comes to movies, at least when it comes to basic story lines. There's really only so many basic stories that can exist. The main character is trying to get somewhere (the Odyssey), get something (the legend of the Golden Fleece), win someone's heart (the Iliad), get revenge (Cain and Abel) or save the world (Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure).
Believe it or not, sharing even a massive amount of plot similarities doesn't make movies the same (exception: The Hangover and The Hangover Part II). Does anyone really feel like they get nothing out of watching The Lion King if they've already seen Hamlet? If they'd kept every single line of Shakespeare's original text and just made Hamlet an animated lion, I'm pretty sure that would have still been a significantly different experience.
The basic plot is like a mannequin. You're pretty limited in the number of shapes you can come up with — curvy or straight, thin or fat. The rest of the movie — the subplots, the personalities, the atmosphere, the pace, the number of explosions you add — that's like the costume you put on the mannequin. Someone pointing out that a plot is "basically the same" is pointing out that two designers are using the same fat mannequin. One could be wearing a bloodied Viking costume and one could be wearing a flowery muumuu, but they're both size 40, so they're "basically the same."
At one point, Joseph Campbell even came up with a concept he called the "monomyth," which is a basic outline that describes almost every myth and epic adventure in history, and which George Lucas used as an outline to write Star Wars. Since then, tons of stoned people and nerds have "stumbled upon" the amazing coincidence that Star Wars is really similar to The Lord of the Rings or the Greek myths or something.
It's amazing because George Lucas pretty much ripped that shit right off, directly, and Star Wars has still done such a good job of becoming its own story that people have to get very high or spend way too much time thinking about it in order for them to notice.
So yes, everything has been done before, and finding its previous incarnations can be a fun and worthwhile exercise, but acting like the new version is repetitive or unnecessary just because something similar exists is stupid. Again, unless we are talking about The Hangover Part II.

The husband and I have been traveling A LOT. I'm starting to get used to living out of a suitcase. While it means that getting projects done takes a little bit longer I have certainly been enjoying myself and yes, even finding inspiration all around me.
One such trip found us in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's not much to look upon at first sight, at least the whole ride over. However there are some really unique elements. After going to an art museum we decided we wanted to walk around Old Town Downtown. There were so many colors and I loved all the texture. There is something about history and architecture no matter where it is that just fascinates me.
Let's start with the doors. I was having a hard time not stopping at every single door to take a photo. In the photo above I loved the contrast of the bricks and the teal doors. I loved the rustic look of the peeling paint and the variations of the wrought iron. Do you notice the different patterns?
Texture. By now you might be realizing that I am a total tactile person. When we came up to this fountain I was intrigued. I love how some of the grout is deeper than others.
Does this remind anyone of our Color of the Year? Ya me too. I think one of the elements of Southwestern design that gets me excited is there use of bold colors.

KENNA - Hope Community Church was established in the home of Pastor Larry Starcher and wife, Ella, at 3148 Dudden Fork Run Road.
On December 31, 2008, the first sermon was preached at Hope Community Church. Pastor Larry Starcher stated "there was a good turn out" in regards to the first sermon. Mr. and Mrs. Starcher alongside Assistant Pastor Bernard Crichfield and wife, Brenda, originally founded the Hope Community Church. Since its founding, the church has grown through God's grace.
Pastor Starcher explained that when the church first began, meetings were held in the back room of their single-wide home. However, attempting to fit 40 people into that room was not feasible. Later, with permission of their landlord, Mr. and Mrs. Starcher converted their living room into the church sanctuary. Many have stated the living room is the best part of their home.
The Hope Community Church offers sermons on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7 p.m., but their door is always open. The overall goal of the church, aside from spreading the gospel, is to "get folks in church." At Hope Community, all denominations are welcome to attend, Hope Community will turn no one away. Through the power of prayer and the community in which it is located, Hope has been able to prosper immensely since its founding.
Sisters Amber Berry, 14, and Brittney Berry have been significant assets to the church and its continued growth.
"Amber, is a huge help with the church" as well as having a, "beautiful singing voice," says Ella Starcher.
Also Lurne Myers has played a significant role in the prosperity by always lending a helping hand when needed. The church would like to thank the Scouts who donated the benches to the church.
Also Hope Community thanks their landlord Jim Hutchison for the donation of chairs. The church would also like to thank Carolyn Moore who helped establish the church's name.
Hope Community Church thanks everyone who has contributed to the church over the years, and invites everyone to attend their homecoming celebration on August 10, 2014. Morning sermon will begin at 10 a.m. and lunch will be served at noon. Afterwards, Brother Elmore Miller will sing gospel music into the afternoon hours. Mr. and Mrs. Starcher ask that you bring a lawn chair along with a covered dish for the event. There will be good food along with fellowship. Please come and celebrate Hope Community Church's prosperity in Christ on August 10, 2014.
Hope Community Church celebrates fifth Homecoming

Is it unhealthy for me to swallow his sperm?
Susie replies:My boyfriend and I have been giving each other oral sex for a while now, but I have just started giving him blowjobs. Is it unhealthy for me to swallow his sperm? Will I get any illnesses from this?
Yes, you can get illnesses from swallowing semen. It is possible to get throat infections of gonorrhea and chlamydia if you swallow infected semen. Semen can contain HIV and Hepatitis B, too. And even if you didn't swallow the semen, just the oral friction contact between you and his penis can transmit syphilis and herpes (with the resulting sores appearing on or around your mouth). Many studies have also shown that HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer and genital warts, is linked to throat cancers in people who regularly engaged in unprotected oral sex.
Oral sex is not a perfectly safe activity. If you both haven't been tested for STIs lately, you shouldn't assume you are both clear of infections. To enjoy safer oral sex (or safer sex in general), get tested for STIs every 6 months, use a flavored condom when you give him oral sex, and let him cover your vulva with a sheet of plastic wrap when he performs oral sex on you. Some people might complain that the latex and plastic lessen sensations, but you can solve that issue with a dab of water-based lube on the genitals.

The Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, to be held at Memphis, Feb. 29-March 1, will give growers and ginners a firsthand look at a broad array of new ag products and technologies.
It will be the 56th year for the event that draws thousands to the downtown Cook Convention Center to see the industry's latest offerings.
Also featured will be Ag Update seminars that will focus on the outlook for the major Mid-South crops, as well as key farm issues, legislation, and special sessions on marketing for profit in today's volatile environment.
As usual, the 2008 show is expected to be a sellout, says Tim Price, executive vice president for the Southern Cotton Ginners and the SCGA Foundation, sponsors for the event.
"We've had a tremendous amount of interest by exhibitors and all our showrooms will be filled with companies offering a wide range of products and services. We have exhibitors from almost every state and eight foreign countries."
Coming off a year of "major acreage changes in Mid-South and Sunbelt cropping patterns and the challenges of weather and volatile markets," it's increasingly important for farmers to be able to get the latest information as they begin to firm up plans for the new season, Price says.
"Probably no other area in the country has shown as much adaptability to the changing crop and market conditions we've seen in the past year, and that experience will be valuable as agriculture moves into the 2008 crop year.
"There are many exciting developments in terms of technology, biotechnology, and other new products," Price notes, "and since our show comes just before the start of the new season, it offers growers an opportunity to get their first look at the latest products and services designed for today's progressive farm and agribusiness operations, and to talk one-on-one with company representatives.
"Within the convention center's show halls will be a huge reservoir of intelligence resident in the company officials and experts available to discuss not only their products, but the trends they see in the industry."
This year's show, which is co-sponsored by Delta Farm Press, is expected to have more than 400 exhibits, Price says, running the gamut from the latest equipment, to seed, chemicals, and services.
"We will have many new exhibitors, bringing a new array of products," Price says, "and a lot of our every-year exhibitors are increasing their space, so it's going to be a very diverse show spanning all the major Mid-South crops."
Increasingly, in recent years, the show has attracted foreign visitors who come to get a firsthand look at the latest developments in agriculture, he says.
"While we're proud of the cotton and ginning heritage of the show, it has evolved over the years into a stage for exhibitors representing all of our crops. We believe it is the premier indoor farm show in the South."
"Memphis is a fun place for the entire family to spend a weekend," Price says, "and we hope everyone will mark their calendars and plan to come and be a part of this year's big show Feb. 29 and March 1."
Coinciding with the show is the annual meeting of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association and its member associations from Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas-Missouri, and a number of ginner events are held during the week of the show.

JRAdventures needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 35 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
J & R Adventures, Joe Bonamassa
We are the Record label and management for Blues/ Rock artist Joe Bonamassa. We have a yearly holiday card we like to send out to all our fans.
Fan base and business partners.
We will supply you with a few tools to help guide you in the right direction. The Flyer/Postcard should be 11" wide by 8.5" high. We need to make sure that there is space to place address labels on the card that does not cover any vital card info.The address label space should still have graphics so the card can stand alone as a handout if necessary.
The label size is 1.067" width by .8" height or 320x240 in pixels.
If you have an idea and you want some more pictures to work with feel free to request more tools.
Our biggest events this year have been the release of "Ballad of John Henry" cd and "live from the Royal Albert Hall" DVD.

But what will be or could be the presidential legacy of George W. Bush? It is safe to say that President Bush began his first term in January 2001 without a strong mandate. An intervention by the Supreme Court had resolved the most prolonged presidential election process in U.S. history, and the defeated candidate, former Vice President Al Gore, had actually won the popular vote. The new president's agenda was appropriately modest; he would conduct, he promised, a "more humble" foreign policy, resisting the temptation to engage in nation-building elsewhere in the world. But the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, abruptly shattered that placid projection. Declaring a "war on terror," President Bush launched retaliatory strikes on Taliban strongholds in Afghanistan that October, a campaign supported by an international community that was still expressing solidarity with the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.
A year later, however, as the Bush administration attempted to rally support for a pre-emptive attack on Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq, the response from long-time international allies was negative. With little support from the international community and over the objections of Pope John Paul II and other religious leaders, the United States invaded Iraq in March 2003, with little understanding of the challenge that postwar reconstruction would pose. It was a blunder of historic proportions. The war of choice in Iraq was not a necessary step in the campaign against terrorism but a costly distraction from that campaign. Five years later, the challenge of reducing the U.S. military presence in Iraq while discharging our responsibilities to the Iraqi people will be a painful dilemma for Mr. Bush's successor, whether Republican or Democrat.
Preoccupation with the tragedy of Iraq, however, should not prevent recognition of the positive initiatives of the George W. Bush administration. Principal among these has been the President's Plan for AIDS Relief (known as Pepfar), a multibillon-dollar investment in programs to combat the scourge of H.I.V./AIDS in Africa. The president's concern for educational reform in the United States drew widespread support, even from those who found fault with particular details of the No Child Left Behind program. But there are other initiatives that President Bush could take in the remaining months of his presidency that would enable his successor to meet more quickly and more effectively the challenges the next administration will face.
Any lasting solution to the challenge of overcoming sectarian divisions in Iraq and establishing a stable government in that tormented country will depend on regional cooperation. For this reason President Bush should vigorously pursue his commitment to take an active role in the search for permanent peace between Israel and its neighbors. While the president's assurance that a lasting agreement can be achieved before the end of his term in office is unrealistic, his personal involvement in the peace process will surely move the parties closer to an agreement. In broader terms, Mr. Bush could assist the diplomatic initiatives of the next administration by following the counsel of the more moderate voices in his administration and abandoning the heavy-handed unilateralism favored by Vice President Cheney and other neoconservative diehards who promoted and defended the unnecessary war in Iraq.
When future historians assess the administration of the second President Bush, they will surely recognize that the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, abruptly brought the nation and its new president into a world radically different from the one that the former governor of Texas contemplated when he was chosen as the Republican presidential candidate in the 2000 election. In his final year in office, George W. Bush could enrich his legacy to the future by learning from the mistakes of the past.

That is why I took a serious look at Stubhub, and decided to go with them. I didn't want to wait till the 10th and find there are only singles left. I bought section 228 Row K for $67 each. They are $55 tickets, but even with the service fees they charged, they are stll cheaper then the gate price of most CEC seats. Plus Nationwide is 10 years old I think, and the Pens went to that arena to to get ideas for CEC, and all the reviews I pulled up online said any seat is a good seat and good view. I can only imagine prices going up on Stubhub too.

Do Nature's Publishers Even Read Their Own Articles About Open Access?
from the funny-that deptJust a few weeks ago we wrote about scientific publishing giant Nature's somewhat abhorrent open access policy, where it's telling researchers at universities that require open access publishing that they need to get a waiver from that policy. So it seems rather strange to see that very same Nature, just days later, publishing an article about open access, in which it talks about how two of the largest funders of scientific research today, Wellcome Trust in the UK and the National Institute for Health (NIH) in the US, are starting to punish grant recipients who don't follow through on open access obligations. Both of those organizations require certain open access standards, but apparently have mostly just trusted researchers to follow through. Not any more:
Now they are done with just dangling carrots. Both institutions are bringing out the sticks: cautiously and discreetly cracking down on researchers who do not make their papers publicly available.The report notes that this has resulted in a "noticeable jump in researchers following the rules." That makes sense.
Neither agency would name those who have been sanctioned. But the London-based Wellcome Trust says that it has withheld grant payments on 63 occasions in the past year because papers resulting from the funding were not open access. And the NIH, in Bethesda, Maryland, says that it has delayed some continuing grant awards since July 2013 because of non-compliance with open-access policies, although the agency does not know the exact numbers.
Of course, nowhere in the Nature article does reporter Richard Van Noorden ever bother to mention that his own publication is fighting against those requirements. In fact, the article reads as if it's a strong supporter of open access rules:
Some scientists are not even aware that they could be penalized. Nature's news team contacted Sheila MacNeil, a tissue engineer at the University of Sheffield, UK, who has published hundreds of articles, including a March 2013 paper on making stem-cell lattices for corneal repair that was funded by the Wellcome Trust (I. Ortega et al. Acta Biomater. 9, 5511–5520; 2013). Nature pointed out that the article should be open access but is not. "This is new to me," responds MacNeil, who plans to make the paper available. "Agreeing with open access is easy — making it happen, less so," she says.Perhaps the Nature "news team" should take a look at how their own publisher is forcing researchers to ignore their open access obligations.
