I return again, compulsively, to the subject of "Bravest Warriors," a Web-based cartoon series about four teenage heroes — Chris, Beth, Wallow and Danny by name — in the intergalactic, multi-plane 31st century.
It is one of the best things, animated or live action, currently going in the variable, many portaled medium I will call television: full of beauty and mystery and goofball weirdness, peopled (if that's the word) with small creatures like Impossibear, Jelly Kid and Catbug, a dimension-traveling blue cat with ladybug wings and the voice of a child (an actual child, Sam Lavagnino); subject to fits of unpredictable metaphor and simile ("It's like trying to use the president's mouth to make out with God's middle name"); and a host of strange adventures, not the least strange of which are set within the spiritual kingdom of love.
The series -- its latest episode, "Season of the Worm," premieres Thursday -- resides at Cartoon Hangover, the YouTube home of Frederated Studios, producers also of "The Fairly OddParents," "Fanboy and Chum-Chum" and
When it came time to make the pilot into a show, Ward, busy with "Adventure Time," turned to Breehn Burns, a friend and collaborator already known for "Dr. Tran," a series of shorts about a 5-year-old boy mistaken (by the cartoon itself, in a way) for a doctor and an action hero. Burns shares development credit for "Bravest Warriors" with Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi (creators of
I recently interviewed him by email. He had this to say, or write.
What do you know about the makeup of your audience? Who is "Bravest Warriors" pitched to? It's kid-friendly in its way but can also be pretty sexy or disturbing at times.
Breehn Burns: We were reviewed once by someone who compared us to
How did you get started in cartoons? Are you schooled, self-schooled?
Self-taught mostly. I grew up in San Diego, where "Spike and Mike's" is based, and started submitting cartoons I'd made using, like, Photoshop 3 or something and a Media 100 Editor they had at my high school. We had a lot of success distributing our own films. Over the years I've directed around 20 independent shorts, which is a great training ground for show-running cartoons, because you learn to do everything yourself.
Tell me about connecting with Pen Ward and how you came to work together.
Pen roomed with a friend of mine at CalArts and later was living in Burbank before "Adventure Time" got a greenlight. I was looking for a roommate and called Pen to see if he had any ideas. He had just moved out of a place that day and was going to sleep in his car until he found another apartment, so the timing was perfect. We worked together on a couple things, and he did an adorable walk cycle for one of my "Dr. Tran" shorts. When "Bravest Warriors" started getting developed, he was busy with "Adventure Time" and asked me to help out.
How did your work on "Bravest Warriors" begin?
Summer 2011, Pen asked me to develop the show and create a "pitch bible," which is basically a cute little book with descriptions and drawings that tells people how the show will work. Frederator was going to pitch it for TV and had
What did you make sure to (were asked to, or wanted to) take from Pen's pilot? What did you want to change?
I was very aware that Pen's original "Bravest Warriors" pilot was made in a pre-"Adventure Time" world. It's fantastic, but has a similar feel to the Tracey Ullman "Simpsons" shorts (when looking back at them after decades of "The Simpsons"). I wanted to carry the spirit of Pen's original pilot into something more sophisticated, and knowing we'd get compared to "Adventure Time" set the bar unbelievably high.
How does "Bravest Warriors" overlap with "Adventure Time," aesthetically and philosophically? How do they differ?
Our main characters were designed by Phil Rynda, who also designed ["Adventure Time" heroes] Finn and Jake. He got a bit more complex with the Bravest Warriors, which makes them a little harder to draw. We started off trying for a different background style, with Steven Sugar designing the worlds in Season 1, but eventually time and budget issues led to us hiring a lot of "Adventure Time" staff as freelancers, so a lot about the two shows looks similar. The separation in tone between "AT" and "BW" is one that's always widening, since my scripts began with more of Pen's voice in mind and have grown to look more and more like the inside of my brain. But always at the forefront are smart, proactive characters and unbreakable bonds of friendship.
Tell me about Jason Johnson, your history with him (and "Dr. Tran") and his contribution to "Bravest Warriors."
Jason Johnson and I have been writing together for almost 25 years, and he's been involved with every "Bravest" script. We made all our "Dr. Tran" cartoons together (he co-writes and does voices), and back then, with tiny budgets and few resources, we had to write those films in a very limited way. Working together on "Bravest" has meant we could pull out all the cool ideas we never got to use and see them fully animated. Catbug and the Paralyzed Horse both sprung from older, unused ideas.
Discuss the meaning and importance of love of in "Bravest Warriors" ...
Working on the show has taught me about infusing love into storytelling. Honestly, my old films were usually driven by passion and anger. The part I admire most about Pen's creations is how the security of friendship and love is a constant. He's told me about how he generally never wanted Finn and Jake to get in fights on "Adventure Time" and how difficult that can make things for writers who go right to relationship conflict when coming up with stories. "Bravest Warriors" has a similar challenge. Conventional wisdom says, "Story is conflict." I want characters who love and respect each other, and who will never betray each other. But on the other hand, they're teenagers with hormones and crushes and drama. We're always looking for the balance.
... and the meaning of beauty ...
Making independent cartoons, I usually overcompensated on the graphic end to make up for what the animation lacked in ... animation. I'm also a painter and used to work in illustration, so I get obsessed with evoking a feeling through light and color and making every frame as beautiful as possible. For "Bravest," I try to capture a nostalgic beauty that takes adult viewers back to an idealized summer, somewhere around 10th grade. On Mars. In the future.
... and of melancholy.
The melancholy in the show stems from the characters' search for love. The older Chris sees Beth in a very different way than the younger Chris. Danny's lack of early, parental love makes him want to be a father figure to others, but he isn't ready. Beth has always looked up to her dad, but has to grow beyond him to become her own person. Wallow wishes he could love everyone equally, but in the season three scripts we're writing now, he finds out how strong his feelings can be.
Did you know when you introduced the Emotion Lord that he would turn out to be Chris? How far ahead do you plot the mythology?
I knew the Emotion Lord would be Chris. It's hard to resist an embarrassing future-self character that shows up to remind you of how doomed you are. I usually think pretty far ahead on the show, but sometimes it's challenging to hang on to those ideas when you're writing episodes, because it starts to feel like handcuffs. It's more fun to be surprised by your own stories.
Discuss the contributions of Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi. Of Fred Seibert.
I can't say enough good stuff about all those dudes. Fred let me aim very high, and gave us the freedom to take the show in unusual directions. Will and Chris were producers on Season 1, and they helped keep our insane ideas grounded in the reality of growing up. They guided the heart of the show.
Is there anything about the next episodes you're willing to reveal?
Hmmm. Beth confronts her father. Hamster Mitch has a crisis of faith. I really hope Danny catches a break. And Interphasic Hump-Gnats peeweezle right through to Wallow's slapsies.
About the next season?
For Season 3, Jason and I are writing six 11-minute episodes. The story picks up several months after the end of Season 2, but it's probably too early to talk about details.
Will there be any changes in the way the cartoon is made, or who's making it?
The finale of Season 2 is the last episode I'm directing. I'm stepping down as show-runner. It's the best job I've ever had, but after all this time working without a full staff, I just need to sit in a dark room and exhale for like a month. It's a demanding show, which has been almost three years of working seven days a week with no vacations, but I'm so proud of every episode. Our new show-runner, the amazing Tom King, boarded the first-ever episode of "Bravest Warriors," "Time Slime." I've been filling him in on an encyclopedia's worth of information over the past week or two, as he gets started directing "Dan of Future Past," our first 11-minute episode.
How does your production process differ from network animation?
Our process is very similar except for the number of employees. We've got a fraction of the staff they have on a network show. We rely on freelancers, many of whom have been very good to us. But when things go wrong, we don't have a lot of safety net and big delays between episodes are common.
What are the yardsticks of success when you're based in the Web?
That may be a question for the Frederator folks. I think everyone is still trying to define it.

I like watching Arsenal. Sometimes they don't like me back, so I also like drinking! These are two tastes that taste great together.
Have a drinking game! I also wrote one last season.
Please don't sue me for any damage this might cause if you follow all of the rules simultaneously.
Take ONE drink if…
- "One Man Team" is mentioned.
- You yell/want to yell "shoot!" at the team. (This is more last season than this season, but it still applies sometimes.)
- You find yourself going "come on, Gervinho, Gervinho— awww, Gervinho…" a la Szczesny playing FIFA.
- Cesc Fabregas is mentioned.
- Take another drink if Barcelona's dreamy football is discussed.
- Unlucky Theo. (OR, alternately, every time you yell/want to yell "GOOD DECISIONS!" at Theo.)
- The commentators are obviously biased against Arsenal. (an extra long drink if it's Stuart Robson)
- An Arsenal player looks injured.
- Another drink if they have to be subbed off.
- Maybe finish your drink if it's one of our defenders.
- Arsenal score a goal!
- Take another drink if it's somebody who isn't Robin!
- Alex Song takes off his glasses and suit to become SONGINHO.
- Arsenal don't score from a corner.
- Order a shot if they do score directly from a corner?
- Someone is wrongly ruled offsides/onsides.
- Take another drink if it leads to a goal scored or conceded.
- Ditto for uncalled handballs.
- Oh, hell, if you want to get really pissed, drink every time there is a bad refereeing.
Finish your drink if…
- There's even a hint of an injury to Robin van Persie.
- Almunia is in goal. Then order a second round and down that as well if Squillaci is in front of him.
- Arsenal win!
- Arsenal lose. (Well, you're going to need a drink either way, so why not?)
- Before every match, take a shot for every starting XI squad member we have out injured. Wilshere counts.
- Take a shot, however, if all of our back four is actually playing in position!

Skin-Boosting Supplements
Supplementing the diet with vitamins, minerals, and enzymes may support healthier-looking skin, and these same compounds may also work wonders from the top down, protecting against the formation of destructive molecules known as free radicals.
Alpha-lipoic acid is often called the "universal antioxidant," because it's soluble in both fat and water. It's naturally made by the body and used to fight free radicals. When applied topically, ALA has been shown to penetrate skin cells, where it may decrease inflammation and boost energy production within the cells.
Biotin is water-soluble, and part of the B-complex vitamins. The body uses biotin in the metabolism of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids. In other words, it needs biotin to turn food into fuel, and without enough, hair and nails can become weak or brittle. Similarly, adding biotin to skincare products is thought by manufacturers to help improve the health and strength of skin cells.
B-complex vitamins contain biotin, which as discussed above, is essential for healthy skin, hair, and nails. Niacin is another component of the B complex, which may improve the look of skin by increasing moisture and reducing inflammation.
Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant produced in the body and used to fight free radicals within cells. Since the body produces less CoQ10 with age, skin cells become more vulnerable to damage over time. Manufacturers claim that skincare products containing CoQ10 work to protect the skin's outer layer from oxidation and aging.
Hyaluronic acid is found in skin cells, joint fluid, and connective tissue, where it works to keep everything cushioned and lubricated. Factors such as diet, lifestyle, and age can decrease how much your body produces over time. When used as a skincare ingredient, hyaluronic acid is thought by manufacturers to help smooth and even the complexion.
Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin and eyes. When taken into the body via foods like butter and eggs, it's converted into retinoic acid, which binds to receptors in the skin, keeping them healthy and plump. Makers of topical vitamin A claim it contributes to thickening the skin and keeping it firm.
Vitamin C is likely the most well-known antioxidant. It helps fight free-radical damage and also plays a roll in collagen production. As a topical agent, vitamin C may increase skin density and decrease the appearance of aging.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin. Naturally provided to skin cells via sebum, vitamin E can absorb the energy from UV light, protecting the skin from sun damage. When used in skincare products, vitamin E works to both protect the skin and improve its texture.
Vitamin K is one of the lesser-known vitamins, but it's beginning to make a name for itself in the world of skincare. In the body, vitamin K is essential for proper blood clotting, but when used topically, it has been associated with lightening dark circles and bruises.

By default, when you run a test with global QTP Data Table parameters, QuickTest runs the test for each row in the Data Table, using the parameters you specified.
For example, the following global QTP Data Table contains 3 rows:
The iteration number of QTP test can be specified in 'File/Settings.../Test Settings dialog', 'Run' tab:
If we run our QTP test with above settings (global DataTable & 'Run' tab), the test will pass 3 iteration.
So, the question is How to determine the current iteration number withing QTP script?
Answer: We can use the value of "TestIteration" environment variable - Environment("TestIteration").
This is a sample QTP script I use to demonstrate Environment("TestIteration"):
str = "Current QTP iteration: " & Environment("TestIteration") & vbNewLine & _And the result of above QTP script is:
"Param1: " & DataTable("Param1", dtGlobalSheet) & vbNewLine & _
"Param2: " & DataTable("Param2", dtGlobalSheet)
MsgBox str
"Param1: " & DataTable("Param1", dtGlobalSheet) & vbNewLine & _
"Param2: " & DataTable("Param2", dtGlobalSheet)
MsgBox str
As you can see, QuickTest Professional script works correctly.
You can use this approach to determine the current iteration number of running QTP script.

Flowers In The Attic
I read an article this morning where a woman wrote that consuming Sex And The City as a teenager set up her and her friends for unrealistic expectations where sex was concerned. That in turn made them receptive and hungry when Girls came to present a different view. This makes a lot of sense to me.
Except what the hell does it mean for those of us who grew up on Flowers In The Attic?
I don't know if any work got done in my grade 7 year at all. We were busy passing around these books and learning about "hard, male parts" and seductive teenagers who were just shocked at the power their young, lithe bodies had.
If you've never read these books, I'm not exaggerating. Also, where did you get your f*cked up ideas about sex from?
Of course, what everyone remembers most about these books is the incest. Not just the brother-sister cornerstone, obviously, but endless comparisons to Momma and Momma's cleavage and I know you're reading this with your coffee so I'll hold off.
Herewith the point – Lifetime is making this into a movie.
Ellen Burstyn will star as the terrifying grandmother, and Heather Graham will star as Momma. You guys, she's old enough to play Momma now.
So the question is -- how f*cked up is this movie going to be? There was a version, years and years ago, that my parents inexplicably let me rent from Jumbo Video, which focused way more on the terror and violence of the book instead of what everyone wanted, which is the truly f*cked sex. It took me a long time to realize that this is because in addition to being incest, it's all supposed to be underage incest, as the characters are 12 and 14 when we meet them.
So, in order, my questions:
Who greenlit this thing? Who thinks that what we really need in entertainment today is some tween incest?
Are they right?
Let's talk about Ellen Burstyn & Heather Graham. Are they both superfans of the source material, or just really into playing the same – yet different – types of villains?
Exactly how many of the terrible scenes from the book are we going to see? Whippings? Tar Hair? Blood snacks? If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is why you've never related to anyone in your age group. This is the depravity they're focusing on.
What nonsense parents would let their children be in this? Kristy Swanson played Cathy in the 1987 movie, when she was 18. So…are we doing that again?
Most importantly – are they going to make follow-up films if this is successful? Do I need to remind you all about Petals On The Wind?
Oh, and one more question:
Who could I be if my mind were not filled with this crap? Is this where I took the wrong turn and became not Mark Zuckerberg? Please enlighten me.

Mid-West transplant Aaron Lavigne is more than happy to contribute to Queens' flourishing music scene.
"I've been fortunate to have been involved in [the Queens music scene]" said Lavigne. "It's always been a welcoming sense of community — anytime and anywhere I play, I've only met the most positive people and artists looking to help each other."
Crooner, guitarist and current Astoria resident, Lavigne began his musical dabbling back in high school.
"I was into everything from alternative to punk rock," said Lavigne. "I didn't really start to 'seriously' play until about five years ago when I started writing songs."
Lavigne draws inspiration from the artists he grew up listening to: The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and even newer musicians including the Avett Brothers, NOFX and Band of Horses.
"Anything that attracted me with any kind of soul or substance to it," said Lavigne of his influences.
Lavigne catalogs his pop, rock and soul sound as an amalgamation of Paul McCartney, Marvin Gaye, Jason Mraz and Jeff Buckley. He prefers his songs' subjects lean towards the simpler side, centering on themes of girls, animals and nature.
When Lavigne sets down his guitar, he moonlights as an actor, currently participating in the Off-Broadway revival of "Rent" at New World Stages in Midtown Manhattan. Between one stage and another, Lavigne can be spotted cruising the streets of Astoria on his bicycle or catching a Cincinnati Bengals game.
Coming off a six-month-long tour of the southeastern United States with his backing band, the DownTown Crowd, Lavigne is in the early stages of planning his next release, an EP of six or seven songs.
"I'll be full time with 'Rent' for a while, which will allow me to stay in New York and record my next EP," said Lavigne. "We'll begin recording in late January with a summer release. I'm really looking forward to this next EP!"
Lavigne believes his song writing style has evolved since past projects, benefiting in part from his new mantra: "keep it simple — simple and open."

We are looking for a web design for our new ecommerce store. There is a chance to earn a logo bonus with this design and some VERY comprehensive instructions inside as to what we are looking for...

We are looking for a fun, professional and clean design. We do not have a logo designed and would be willing to pay extra if the page designer came up with a good logo too. We need an initial front page/home page design for an ecommerce site and then a content/product page displaying how you envision the product pages to look in your design. Just to clarify, we do not need a coded design, we will do the coding ourselves.
I am going to give you a few links to sites that we like and explain the reasons why we like them, and then below that, I'm going to list our specific requirements and hopefully, by the end of it all, we should have something that meets our requirements and looks as god (if not better) than the sites we like most!
Sites we like:
We love the friendly, clean and colourful design of this site and if we had to choose a design that we'd most like to look like, it would be this. The colours are brilliant, the layout is excellent, with the categories of products in immediate display so that the moment you log onto this site, you know exactly where you need to click to get exactly where you want to go.
Whilst we love this style, its important to note that we do not want to 'copy' it. Look at the site and get a feel for the overall 'theme' and try to reproduce that in your design.
Again, we love the friendly appeal of this site and I think the header/navbar at the top plays a huge roll in this. Also the variations in friendly colours used throughout the pages in the product pages in the information pages and in all the info boxes around the site.
In terms of functionality and eye pleasing, clean ecommerce design, this website has it. I like the clean logo and clean navbar at the top, but what I like most is, again, the quick prompts on the main page that take you wherever you need to go and I would like this same philosophy used in your design for our site. As soon as people log onto our site I want them to have instant access to the info they need which I will outline below in my specific design brief.
There you have some of our favourite sites and I think the prevailing theme throughout each is the colourful, environmentally friendly 'feel' as well as quick, onle click boxes, info boxes that take users to the exact page they need to go to.
Website Specifics:
We are looking to make this fit most browsers and have decided that a screen width 1024px is the best to design for so we are looking for a centrally aligned 940/950px wide 'design' but the remaining pixels at each side of the 'design' in a browser should be considered when designing so that the design does not look out of place in a browser with white space at either side or will work well with a repeatable background to suit your design.
Header :-
Ideally we'd like something comparable to the cleanlinness and professionalism of the natural collection example listed above, with perhaps some of the recycle works colour/fun injected into it. We want the logo in the top left. In the top right (or not necessarily at the top right but to the right of the header) we want links to 'register' 'login' 'contact us' 'help' and 'forums'.
Also to the right of the header, or somewhere in the header where it is in plain and obvious site, set out to attract attention, we would like a telephone number to our shop.
We would also like to see the totals for our cart in this sort of area also.
We would like a clean navbar just below the header similar to the one at natural collection.
The navbar should be part of the header or at least flow well with the header and the colourful design and should contain:
1) A search box
2) Several text links that as of yet have not been specified but an example of which could be 'about us' 'press' 'awards' 'carbon offsets' etc.
The body of the page will be split into two main columns. There will be a fixed sidebar which will be visible on all pages and a 'content' area where products will be displayed or content from content pages will be displayed.
Sidebar :-
This will include links to all the product categories in our cart. These links will all be text-based but a background rollover image/colour/highlight would be desirable. We would also like to see some sort of icon/bullet before each list item.
Also in the sidebar, in their own different box, I'd like to have a 'latest forum posts' box. This will be its own box, seperate from the category box, and could be in a different colour. I'd like to see links in here have a bg colour highlight also.
Below the forum box, I need another box for 'Best Sellers'.
I also need a 'Win a home recycling bin by subscribing to our newsletter' box.
I would also like 2 or 3 more boxes added in case I need to use them in the future for anything else I might think of.
Content :-
This will appear to the right of the sidebar. On the homepage, I would like to have a promo/product box at the top left of the content page. This would ideally be flash at some point in the future but for now I would like a properly designed promotional image to appear in this space (a picture of a stylish recycling bin with a 'just in for March' sales prompt or such, along with some minor product details, a price and a 'more info' button. An example of the sort of image I am looking for can be seen at http://www.naturalcollection.com currently it is an image of an egg except in my design I would like the image to be less high and wider, more like the sort of size of the 'welcome text box' on the same site.
To the right of this image, in the remaining space of the content page, I'd like a box prompt that asks the question: "What can I recycle?" along with a drop down box and a go button, similar to the one you'll see here: http://www.recyclenow.com/what_more…index.html Obviously I do not want to copy the girl and a nicely designed box with an envrionmentally friendly feel would do us just fine (flowers growing around it etc.?)
Below these two boxes, I'd like to have my product categories listed as 'box prompts' in the style of those of at http://www.recycleworks.co.uk. Each box should be independant and if I didnt want to display a category, when that category box was removed, the other boxes would still look good. I'd like 3 rows of 3 (9 categories in total) and these will be:
Can Crushers
Compartment Bins
Built-in Bins
Bags and Liners
Office Bins
Stackable Bins
Compost Bins
Other Accessories
Free Delivery on Orders over £100
Below the product categories, I would like to see a half-width box (or perhaps longer if neccessary) displaying news feeds that will come from: http://news.google.co.uk/news?hl=en…tnG=Search only displaying 5 or 6 of the latest entries.
Footer :-
Below this I would like a footer in the same theme of the rest of the site like can be seen at http://www.recycleworks.co.uk, with a similar sort of display of copyright info etc. but I would rather have it display all the other links to the opposite side of the copyright in the same way as http://www.naturalcollection.co.uk
Special Notes :-
Somewhere on this page, either in the sidebar, content or footer, I need you to include images about secure payment, methods of payment accepted (all cards) etc and all the other usual security related stuff.
Product Page :-
As I said at the beginning I need two pages for this design, one the homepage that I have just described and two a product page that you visualize will fit into this design. Something along the lines of that displayed at: http://www.recycleworks.co.uk/compo…16160.html would be sufficient. Also keep in mind that this page will also be used as the framework for text-based content pages also.
Logo :-
Again, like I mentioned in the beginning, we are willing to pay for a logo too if someone can compe up with a really good one that matches the domain 'home recycling bins' or alternatively for 'easy home recycling'.

Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity, once in the main of light,
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crowned,
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope, my verse shall stand
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
Sonnet 60: Translation to modern English
Just as the waves push toward the pebbled shore, our minutes hasten toward their end, each moment replacing the one that went before, straining against each other to move forward in successive effort. Once born, creatures crawl from that pre-birth ocean of light to maturity, facing cruel eclipses that obstruct their glory, and Time, that gives, begins to destroy its own gifts. Time pierces the flowering cast of youth and digs deep lines in beauty's forehead: feeds on the most exquisite of nature's specimens, and there's nothing that its scythe won't mow. And yet my verses will last to be read by future generations, praising your worth in spite of Time's cruel hand.
Please take a moment to review this content!

MACON, Ga. – Capping off her career as a student-athlete, Lipscomb women's basketball player and track and field thrower Brittany Duerk was chosen by the Atlantic Sun Conference to receive one of two NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships awarded by the league.
"Brittany has been the model of what you'd want a student-athlete to be and I am proud of her for earning this well-deserved award," said Lipscomb athletics director Philip Hutcheson. "Since the day she arrived on our campus, she has given a championship effort in the classroom, on the court and on the track.
"Even with all of the time demands of being a stellar student and two-sport athlete, she has found a way to be involved in campus life and community service activities as well. The Atlantic Sun motto is 'Building Winners For Life', and in giving Brittany this award, they have certainly recognized someone who has exemplified that ideal throughout her time here."
A regular starter for the Lady Bison basketball team the past three seasons and a contributor for the track and field program in throws, Duerk is headed to Lipscomb's pharmacy school in the fall and plans to get her pharmacy degree before heading across town to Vanderbilt to complete her PHD in pharmacology in a dual PharmD/PHD collaborative program between the two schools.
Duerk was joined by Stetson's Maksim Levanovich in receiving the A-Sun postgraduate scholarship.

There's growing impatience about subpar job creation as well as stubbornly high unemployment, even as the economy recovers. After months of improvement, the national jobless rate has moved sideways recently, stuck around 9 percent.
On a state level, the picture is mixed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 42 states and the District of Columbia reported jobless rate decreases between May 2010 and April 2011. Only five states registered increases, while there were three unchanged.
More than a few, however, have posted sizable declines in their jobless rates, which is good news for workers and employers.
Here are the ten biggest annual declines and the states in which they took place. Click ahead to see if your state makes the cut.

UPDATE: Two days after all the documents and contracts were signed at the notary (and legally binding), the "new owners" of La Tavola Marche boarded a plane back to the good ol' U.S of A.!! (Seriously.) They lasted 6 days in Italy. We were in total shock. It's the stuff movies are made of. Read the UNBELIEVABLE true story here: When Life Gives You Lemons...Make the Best Damn Limoncello!
Drum roll please....we are excited to finally announce the NEW owners of La Tavola Marche (farm, inn & cooking school), Tony Cranfield & Danielle Howard. Jason and I have no doubt that you are in good hands - from their kind hearts and big smiles to the amazing food they will share & more than just being 'hospitable' they instantly make you feel like your hanging out with old friends, lingering at the table long into the night!
2016 will be a year of exciting changes not only new owners but a NEW location in Le Marche as well!! Jason and I will be working closely with Danielle & Tony to help ensure a smooth transition from sharing recipes to painting walls and starting a new garden - we'll do it together and share the journey with you here! You will see still a few posts from me here and there thru 2016 but soon Tony will take over and you'll get a chance to read their story of moving to Le Marche and the local traditional food they will cook.
Get to know the new owners...
Tony and Danielle came together with a shared love for adventure in travel and an appreciation for the people, customs and the foods that are unique to the places they visit. One of those places was Le Marche, Italy and together they have decided to become a part of the fabric of this region.
Danielle's passion for cooking comes from her father who loved preparing food for family and friends. As a chef and a teacher, Danielle has been involved in the kitchen, catering and event planning for 15 years. Her engaging, warm hearted, happy nature allows for Danielle to connect with others and share all her experiences through food.
Tony grew up in London and moved to the US to play soccer in college. Living two such diverse cultures at a young age, Tony found it enjoyable to welcome new experiences. Throughout his career over the past 25 years, Tony has been able to connect with new people and places. During these travels, he has grown a love for wines and the artisans who create them, and continues to learn about their varieties around the world. Combined with his magnetic and easy going personality, Tony is always the perfect host with a great sense of humor!
Danielle and Tony are excited and ready to welcome everyone as they embark on their new chapter at La Tavola Marche. Send them a note to say CIAO! and welcome them to the family firstname.lastname@example.com

For many with new high-end Windows Phone 8 devices, being able to mount them in the car for some of that sweet offline navigation is the dream. Perhaps even more so for those with a Nokia Lumia 920 (or the Verizon HTC 8X) who have the Qi wireless charging on board as that promises the swift in-and-out luxury unlike anything we've previously seen.
ProClip USA, who make some fine custom phone holders, have just announced pre-orders for their 8X and Lumia 920 series. Ranging from fixed power for permanent setups to a cigarette lighter method to just the holder, the setups should give users an ideal setup for their car. The downside of course is it seems ProClip is not interested (or capable) of doing the whole wireless charging thing—which we think is what people really want.
Sure, sliding your phone in to the microUSB connection will charge faster and it looks effortless, but wireless charging is where it's at these days.
Prices range from $34 for the barebones model up to $79.99 for the permanent wired setup. We'll see about stocking them in our Store (and review 'em) when they do become available, expected in the coming weeks.
For now, you can pre-order them if you can't wait.

I'm starting an internet business and I need a great logo! Specs below.
Anyone who deals with clients. Professional service providers.
Designers, copywriters, accountants, etc.
Need a logo designed for Clients Suck.
The website is clientssuck.net, but the logo should just reference the Clients Suck brand (so don't include .net or anything).
It's a site selling products that help professional service providers (web designers, graphic designers, accountants, etc.) make more money with less effort by taking control of their clients instead of BEING controlled by them.
The whole idea is of the visual is a scruffy freelancer walking a "fancypants" suit/boss-like individual on a leash.
So the logo would have the text: Clients Suck
Tagline: Take the Leash Off Your Neck and Put It On the Client's
(I'm still working on the tagline, but there will be one. And it will have to do with the service provider controlling the client and not being controlled by the client.)
There could be a cartoon like graphic of a guy in a tshirt and jeans or something with a guy in a suit on all fours with like a dog leash or something. So the service provider is leading the client around instead of the other way around.
You can be creative and maybe a bit funny. The point is that everyone who works with clients KNOWS they often get abused by them. The product(s) will help them put an end to that.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

Bolton manager Dougie Freedman has paid warm tribute to Stuart Holden ahead of the USA midfielder's possible first-team return from severe knee problems.
Holden suffered cruciate ligament damage and required 26 stitches in a gash from a tackle that saw Manchester United defender Jonny Evans sent off in March 2011. An attempted comeback last season lasted one match, Bolton's 2-0 League Cup victory over Aston Villa in September, as cartilage trouble provided a further setback.
But Holden came through a reserve outing unscathed against Oldham last week and has travelled with the Wanderers' squad for Tuesday night's FA Cup third-round replay at Sunderland. "First of all I think we've got to look at Stuart because the guy's been out for such a long time," said Freedman.
"It's credit to him and the mental strength he's shown. He's a fantastic man to have around the place, he's been fantastic in training and he's got one more hurdle to go - that's to get into the team and stay in the team.
"That's going to be very, very soon. He's getting his opportunity because he deserves it."
Remarkably, Wanderers were seventh in the Barclays Premier League and on their way to an FA Cup semi-final at the time of Holden's initial injury. He was unable to play a single minute of league football as Owen Coyle's squad battled in vain against relegation last term.
An indifferent start to the current campaign cost Coyle his job and Holden returns to a team labouring in the bottom half of the npower Championship. Freedman believes the 27-year-old can be a key influence in reversing this slide, both on and off the pitch, and spoke kindly of his work with fellow knee injury victim Josh Vela.
The 19-year-old academy product suffered ligament damage during August's Capital One Cup loss to Crawley but is also ready to return at the Stadium of Light, having featured as an unused substitute for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Millwall.
"It's a credit the way Stuart handles himself around the place with a lot of the young players," Freedman added. "Josh Vela's been out injured and Stuart's pretty much taken him under his wing and helped him through the injury, which says a lot about the man. He's not only worried about himself.
"It'll be a great moment for him and his family and it will be a great moment for the Bolton fans to see Stuart Holden again because he's such an infectious guy that you want him involved."

When the Mercedes-Benz spokesman confirmed they believed the new 2014 S-Class was the best car in the world, I couldn't help but shudder slightly. That kind of statement often leads to disappointment, mainly because our idea of what makes a car "best" isn't always the same as the average driver. But more importantly, could this four-door sedan live up to the hype?
First impressions of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 are positive. It might not be as distinctive as the slightly challenging previous W221 model, but the new W222 is handsome and slightly understated. It also disguises its size, looking shorter than its 17ft length.
We had the chance to speak to the exterior design chief, Robert Lesnik, who was enjoying what he described as the best job in the world because he had a wide portfolio of projects to work on, stating the difference between the new CLA and S-Class as proof.
He also pointed out that Mercedes is the only car company in the world with two grilles – one with the three-pointed star on the hood, and the other with the large star in the grille. And while the new E-Class gets both options, he felt the more refined S should receive the classic grille treatment.
Interestingly, this was Robert's first assignment at Mercedes, his design being selected three months after he joined the company in 2009, giving him another four years to create the production version.
"This car is all about proportion," he stated. "We wanted the details to be seen close up rather than from afar, so the defined wheel arches have gone but it has the classic long hood and rearward cabin of a RWD car."
"After the A-Class and CLA designs, people were worried about how the S-Class would look," he continued, "but people have fewer expectations of the smaller cars, so we could push the envelope further. Whereas there have been six generations of S-Class so we needed to be more evolutionary. We worked hard to get the proportions right and hide the fact it's slightly longer than the previous model. In fact, everything is built around the rear seat passengers for legroom, headroom, audio, etc. Many of these cars are chauffeur driven so we needed to get that right while incorporating the new safety regulations, which is one of our biggest challenges."
The new S-Class undoubtedly has presence, as testified by the number of motorists scampering out of our way as we barreled down upon them. And yet the cabin remains serene in all but fast corners.
Although the weight of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 is currently undisclosed, it's claimed to be almost 220 lb lighter and 50% stiffer than before. Yet it's no featherweight. Even in Sport mode, the car leans into turns. It remains relatively flat but you sense the mass moving below you, which is a shame because the 449hp V8 biturbo gets you moving along nicely.
Slow down, select Comfort, and the Merc regains its composure. In fact, Mercedes has given it Magic Body Control, which frankly sounded rather silly until it was properly demonstrated: approaching a speed bump at respectable speed, the car's stereoscopic cameras (first seen in the 2014 E-Class) read the road, see the obstacle and discreetly raise the front suspension in anticipation. The car then glides over the hump as if it were, well… magic. It describes the effect perfectly since you feel absolutely nothing.
The car has sensors like we use our eyes and ears. This new generation flagship deploys radar, infrared, ultrasound and its dual cameras to create a 360˚ picture of its surroundings. It can distinguish between animals and humans, even at night. It can read the road surface and adjust the air suspension as we mentioned, and even detect approaching traffic and take steps to avoid an accident if necessary.
Steering assistance goes to another level. The electrical system (there's a nice weight to it, by the way) doesn't only exist to park the car for you… It will gently nudge you to keep the car safely within lane demarcations. If you ignore it and are veering into oncoming traffic, the brakes are applied on one side to return the car to its correct lane. It doesn't actually say: "I can't let you do that, Dave." But the level of awareness is uncanny.
The engineers have taken it a stage further by offering the first glimpse of autonomous driving. Although regulations don't allow this in the pure sense, the cruise control on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 can now follow a car or remain in a lane at a pre-determined speed and distance, while steering through turns itself. There are some safeguards to ensure the driver is giving regular inputs but we experienced a low-speed corner taken behind another car and coming to a halt without any input from the driver. Regarded as a safety device, it seems to provide the opportunity for the driver to occupy himself with other tasks, but it's a glimpse of the future.
The new 2014 S-Class is all about soothing its occupants, relieving them of the drudgery of congested driving. It does so by employing more than 20 interacting systems that include parking assistance, blind spot monitoring, night vision, intelligent cruise control and intelligent headlights. Add to that a Burmester audio system and you have a great long distance cruiser. However, these aren't the S550's greatest trick.
Navigating the onscreen menu, you can instruct the infinitely adjustable seats to provide you with a hot stone massage, altering the pressure and location to suit your aches. There's also a scent diffuser in the glovebox that wafts your selected scent on a gentle breeze of ionized air, creating a relaxing spa environment.
Therefore, it should be no surprise that you can also select the color and intensity of electric light, although not a single bulb is deployed in the new S. It houses 500 LEDs that, of course, last longer and require less energy.
If the right option boxes are checked, the double-glazed cocoon brings 43.5˚ reclining rear seats like those in the first class cabin on an airplane. They can similarly massage, heat or cool you and, in our car, were trimmed in a "quilted" leather. This was actually diamond-shaped perforations rather than full quilting but the effect was appreciated.
And Benz claims the elegant and functional cabin is virtually hand-built. Where faux is a no-no, it uses real leather, wood and metals throughout. It's library-quiet and aerodynamically efficient thanks to a drag coefficient of 0.24, which beats a well-known Japanese hybrid.
Trunk capacity of 18cuft gives the 2014 S-Class an advantage over the Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series, yet it doesn't look awkward in proportion, even on the long wheelbase versions that will be standard in the US.
As the best-selling car in the sector, and with 20,000 advance orders, it looks as if the 2014 S-Class is guaranteed success. And there's an AWD 4Matic version around the corner, plus a V6 hybrid model to follow.
Since the demise of the ultra-luxurious Maybach brand, the S-Class is left to fill the rather small void, with rumors of a model along the lines of an S600 Pullman waiting in the wings. And while Europe will get several other engine options, including a thrifty diesel hybrid, all models will be more efficient than the outgoing ones. Prices are also expected to be close to the outgoing models.
So is this the best car in the world? Rolls Royce might claim more luxury, BMW might be more sporting, but nobody seems to have more technology. The 2014 S-Class may well be the safest car in the world, and for many of us that would make it the best…

Production Plot
Linda Sithole, a South African-American high school leadership skills trainer working in the Bronx, attempts one morning to conduct a conflict resolution activity, only to find her students intent on hearing her own story of coming from South Africa to the United States. When it becomes apparent that doing so may be a more effective teaching tool in light of the class's negative self-perception (which Sithole attributes to the inmate-like treatment of being run through metal detectors on a daily basis), she agrees.
Donning the role of storyteller, Ms. Sithole transforms into a colorful cast of characters, complete with singing and dancing, imparting lessons of identity, family pride, culture, and neighborhood responsibility. The story transports us from South Africa to Chicago as the Sithole family claims its Zulu heritage against the backdrop of academic America. In the persona of her father, Sithole sets a musical tone vast enough to include Zulu folk songs, American pop icons, and a Country Western hero, suggesting music as a key element in binding the family together; boosting spirits in celebration and being salve in tragedy.
Linda morphs seamlessly from her exuberant childhood self (desperate to have "normal" parents) to her professor father (contrasting the importance of rhythm in African music –and life-- to melody in the classical genre) to her practical mother (chastising ingratitude and articulating warnings) to her seventh grade history teacher (bluntly instilling humility and responsibility in his students). The journey leads both teacher and students through joy, struggle, and triumph as they come to greater understanding of each other, their neighbors, and ultimately themselves.

Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll in London Pictures
Kate Winslet Sticks Close to Ned With Titanic Returning to Theaters
Kate Winslet held hands with boyfriend Ned Rocknroll leaving a boutique in London on Saturday. The couple were all smiles and shared a hug while shopping around Covent Garden. Kate's schedule takes her to NYC today where she's expected to make an appearance on Live With Kelly! It's been almost 15 years since Kate and Leonardo DiCaprio set sail on the Titanic, and they're making a return to the big screen April 4 when Titanic 3D opens nationwide. Kate's excited to share the film with her children, Mia and Joe, though she's not so thrilled to see herself in 3D. In a recent interview Kate joked about seeing herself in 3D, "Oh my God, that's me. Block my ears, somebody! Somebody club out my senses. Make it f***ing stop!"

5 Crunch Free Moves to Get Washboard Abs
Is it me or does it feel like the warm weather snuck up on us? Before we know it, it will be time to shop for that perfect bikini, and that means working hard to get your body into tip top shape! Did I just overwhelm you? Don't worry - here are 5 awesome ab exercises for you to try that do not involve 100 crunches or situps a day.
1. The Plank
There are many benefits to planking. This exercise will help build your deep inner core muscles that lay the groundwork for the toned belly you desire! The plank also works almost every main muscle in your body; biceps, shoulders, and back to name a few. However, people can easily perform the plank incorrectly, so be sure to practice proper form!
Get into pushup position on the floor.
Now bend your elbows 90 degrees and rest your weight on your forearms.
Your elbows should be directly beneath your shoulders, and your body should form a straight line from your head to your feet.
Engage your core by sucking your belly button into your spine, and hold the position as long as you can.
2. Knee-to-Outside Elbow Plank
Start with a standard plank.
Slowly bring your right knee toward the outside of your right elbow.
Get as close as you can without losing your form.
Be sure not to round your shoulders or let your hips drop!
Repeat for the other side.
3. Flutter Kicks
This is one of my favorite exercises. It is pretty simple yet BURNS!
This exercise is sure to help tone those lower abs.
Here is how to get started!
Lie on your back with your legs together and extended out straight.
Place your arms out to the sides of your body, palms facing down.
Contract your abs and keep them tight throughout the exercise.
Lift your legs off the ground about 6 in., and lift your head and shoulders slightly off the ground.
Now raise one leg up a few inches then bring it back to starting position.
While it is on its way down, raise your other leg. (Hence the name "flutter kicks")
4. Russian Twists
Russian twists are not only great for your abdominal muscles, but it helps strengthen your lower back. As you become more adept at this exercise, you can try holding a kettlebell with both arms for added resistance.
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
Lean back making sure to keep the spine straight and not rounded.
Bring your arms straight out in front of your chest with one hand on top of the other.
Twist your torso to your right side until your arms are parallel with the floor.
Hold for one second then move to the opposite side following the same technique.
5. Lying Leg Raises
The lying leg raise exercise is another awesome exercise that will target your lower abs. Like the russian twists, once you master this exercise you can start adding weights by holding a dumbbell between your feet.
Start by lying on the floor with your arms by your sides and palms facing down.
Your head, legs and bottom should all be in contact with the floor.
Engage those abdominal muscles and slowly lift your legs to a 90 degree angle.
Keep your legs straight!
Pause for a second and slowly bring your legs back down.
It is very important to practice proper breathing techniques while doing any abdominal exercise. You want to exhale with the contraction of your ab muscles for the most power. Breathing out at the right time tightens your ab muscles and engages your core, so you get more out of your workout. If you are a beginner, one of 9Round's great trainers can help modify any of our workouts including the five exercises above to meet your fitness level! Stop by your local 9Round, or go to www.9Round.com to find one near you and get beach body ready in no time!
When those abs are burning and you want to quit, just remember "NO PAIN, NO GAIN!"

Rethinking the Garage: A Woman Cave!

I am one of those people who looks at a garage and thinks about how to make it livable. However, I have nothing on this woman, who became her own general contractor, raided airplane and boat salvages for parts, built a base for a clawfoot-less tub, and even learned how to weld during the process of making her garage habitable. Check out the entire article and slideshow at The New York Times; it's really inspiring. I like this idea a whole lot better than the yurt in Alaska thing.
She's married now and has moved back into the main house, but she's kept the garage as her woman cave. A garage outfitted for a performance and visual artist differs greatly from that of a couple of foot-long eating Rush aficionados:
TOTAL SIDE NOTE: Did anyone see the HILARIOUS letter to the editor to the Times about their recent articles – it mentioned the yurt people, the people who never turn on the heat, and some other article – the gist of it was basically "what's the next trend, igloos?" That's all I have to go on; I meant to cut it out and to share it with my fellow NYTimes Home readers because it was so funny – if you know where it is, please let me know in the comments section. I think it was published about two months ago.

Oct. 5: 'The Paperboy'
Looking like "A Time to Killer (Inside Me) Joe," the latest from "Precious" director Lee Daniels could feature the year's fourth delicious Matthew McConaughey performance or offer over-heated sleaze that doesn't know when to say when. Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman and John Cusack also star.

Kilian's latest conquest: Western States
By: Todd Mordhorst Journal Sports Editor
Young Catalan runs steady from the start to become the first international champion
The Western States Endurance Run's cougar trophy is heading overseas for the first time. Kilian Jornet, who grew up running in the Pyrenes Mountains in his native Catalonia, ruled the Sierra Nevada on Saturday. The 23-year-old navigated the 100-mile journey from Squaw Valley to Auburn in 15 hours, 34 minutes. In a field stacked with many of the top ultrarunners in the world, Jornet survived a wrong turn that cost him and several other frontrunners around 15 minutes, the heavy snow high in the Sierra and more than 40,000 feet of climbing and descending. In his Western States debut last year, Jornet did not carry water bottles. He led for much of the race before running out of steam at mile 80 and settling for third place. He carried water bottles this year and outlasted determined WS rookie Mike Wolfe, who placed second in 15:38. "All the way, I remembered last year," Jornet said. "Last year helped for this year. It was positive. My biggest problem last year was water and that was better this year. My hydration worked." After taking the wrong turn, Jornet had to chase down several runners, including Jez Bragg, who finished fourth with a time of 15:55. Nick Clark, who wound up third in 15:50, stayed with Jornet until late in the race. Jornet built a slim lead after the Rucky Chuck River Crossing at mile 78. Wolfe passed up Clark and reached No Hands Bridge just 2 minutes behind Jornet, but could not catch him on the final climb out of the American River Canyon. Simon Mtuy, an eight-time Western States finisher, paced Jornet to the finish. "He has a lot of energy," said Mtuy, who watched Jornet break his record for the fastest climb and descent of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa last year. "We got to the last hill and I just told him, 'Go! Rrepresent the international runners!' I think it's a good thing for the race, for Auburn." Defending champion Geoff Roes was at the finish line at Placer High to greet the top finishers. The Alaskan ran within five minutes of the leaders for about 35 miles, but was not up to the task on Saturday. He dropped out of the race at Michigan Bluff — the 55-mile mark. "Basically right off the start I didn't have it," said Roes, who had won all eight 100-mile races he had entered up until Saturday. "I had moments where I thought maybe I would start feeling better. On the snow I was able to fake it a little. But I felt like every step was harder and harder." Jornet was one of six runners who veered off course on the climb from French Meadows to Mosquito Ridge Road. He ran about two extra miles and fell behind Bragg and three other runners, but caught back up to the leader within about 10 miles. Race officials were forced to use an alternate "snow course," due to the heavy snow high in the mountains. Wolfe, an attorney from Helena, Mont., said the runners were, "just trying to get through," the snow, which covered the first 15 miles or so, of the race. Wolfe was the only American in the top five and was pleased with his finish. "I had a goal of top three," he said. "I knew it would be hard. It was just fun to be a part of this competition." Clark is an English citizen, though he lives in Colorado. Bragg is from England and Tsuyoshi Kaburaki, of Japan, finished in fifth. The race for the women's title was not decided until late Saturday. Ellie Greenwood, who was running her first 100-mile race, made a late surge to win in an impressive 17:55. Defending champion Tracy Garneau led for much of the race before Kami Semick overtook her near Auburn Lake Trails at mile 85. Greenwood, originally from Scotland and now living in Alberta, passed them both in the final six miles of the race. Semick out-sprinted former champion Nikki Kimball around the Placer track to place second. For more on the women's race and the rest of the Western States Endurance Run, see Monday's Journal.
