This is when we find out the shield spell did work but the force of the blast destroyed the island except the part their on and pushed it to the bottom of the sea.

Wait... what? I don't see any resemblance to what just happened in Fairy Tail to anything in One Piece... Unless you're talking about the time skip, in which case, he's not ripping off One Piece, it's simply a shonen manga cliche that he happened to use. I do agree that I didn't see any point to this entire thing, though. Hopefully there will be...
Not the time sikp, per se, but the feeling of hopelessness he tried to induce before the timeskip so we'd feel like it was necessary for them to get stronger before continuing whatever it is they're trying to accomplish. Actually, I kinda forget what my point was since I posted that since my computer was down for a second. I think when I read it I felt like the entire part lacked any originality sort of like he was doing that simply because it was, as you pointed out, a typical shounen cliche.

Honestly I don't see Fairy Tail ending any time soon...Mashima left this plot twist completely wide open (which is dramatically different from the typical cliche routine the manga has followed for 3 or so years). Originally I was thinking Mashima actually killed off all of his main characters but that little girl has me thinking otherwise. If anything she's probably the polar opposite of Zeref and took a liking to the unity of Fairy Tail. Whether they are in some other dimension or some other crazy twist, it would be idiotic to kill off years of character development. Moreover the ties to dragons runs deep with the current cast (the dragon slayers, the date of Lucy's mother passing away, etc.) so even if this new arc focuses on what the dragons are doing there are still many questions to be answered.
Well, new chapter's out. Fairy Tail's turned to shit over the past seven years (the guild itself, not the manga). Just when things are at their lowest, Blue Pegasus arrive and procclaim that the Island is not destroyed.
I kinda had a feeling that the boy would be Romeo. But it looks like we won't get a chance to see the lesser members shine. Things went downhill when Fairy Tail's strongest were taken away. I can't tell if they're simply going to bring Natsu and his friends back straight away or if they're going to have to do some things first.
Either way, I'm not crazy about this surprise timeskip.
the way he set this up just felt a bit weird, i actually kinda think that there are 2 ways this could play out. either this will be the last major arc for fairy tale, i mean we've met zeref and the black dragon, he might start answering the big mysteries in there. or this'll actually be a temporary timeskip, where bringing the island and the main characters back will open up the possibility for time travel, where after some kind of big event that ends with the world facing destruction they send the main characters back to where they came from so they can take part in whatever secret battles were going on in the missing 7 years to change the outcome and save the world. i know, sounds stupid, but that's was part of the plot of rave master so you can't say he wouldn't do it.
SO Mavis huh... that was quite a surprise to who it was.
Ahhhhh...hmm, well now I hope there was a good point to the timeskip because it seems really pointless now with the exception of it being seven years. The number seven seems integral to the FT storyline.
The old man can't seem to die no matter what. He's been taken out of every major fight but is still kicking.

Yup, no point to a time skip if you can't see new character designs. I want my seven years older Erza, damnit!
This timeskip was a "cool story, bro" if you ask me.
Everything around them changes. That's the point. We're going to have a few chapters showing us how things have changed...including how Romeo learned how to use the Seven Color Fire (from Totomaru of all people) and that Lucy's dad is now dead as well.
Whoa, was surprised by how the chapter went. He took it to the right place this time. Seven years of changes would be a shock to anyone, poor Lucy. I won't say I was completely wrong, but it was a damn interesting chapter. I'm assuming Makarov was asking about his son's guild, with Grimoire Heart and uh... what was the name of Zero's guild? Well anyway with them gone he's probably taken center stage in the world of dark guilds. I was wondering how he'd fit into the the story since, before the timeskip at least, it seemed to be winding down, but it seems like he'll be able to fit it in soon.
Next time there's a mystery in FT I'm betting my money on Edolas..
Most relevant fact of the chapter: Lucy suffers from constipation.

Mwahahahaha, yeah true that.
I groaned when I saw that arena, even if he says this isn't a tournament, this is gonna be a tournament. Also predictably the FT dragon slayers will fight those ones they've been teasing for a couple of chaps.
I'm wondering where Gajeel has been though. Did Makarov send him to check on Raven Tail again?
The new chapter was really unexpected and enjoyable ^_^
Really hope to see some interesting tournament games..

HAHAAH WOW Right when I was like.. wow another time zone where they will have an endless amount to train.. but they were totally TROLLED nice one.
I honestly feel sorry for the spirits in this case. Just when you think Lucy is summoning her spirits about twice a week, she's actually calling for them every 5 minutes from their perspective
^no wonder Aquarius is always so pissed. Lucy's probably calling her multiple times on the same date.
Wasn't expecting them to lose the whole time like that. It was perfectly awesome. Though now what do they do? I know there's not supposed to be any fighting, but anything Natsu get's involved in is likely to turn into a brawl.
Gajeel and the Raijinshuu presumably still got their three months of training at least.

New chapter is posted.
Sting is excited at representing Sabretooth at the games so he can have the chance to battle Natsu; his partner Rogue doesn't care if he participates.
Raven Tail is also going to be in the mix, so we'll finally see Makarov's son and his group in action.
Ultear and Meredy broke Gerard out of prison, and the three have been working together taking down dark guilds ever since to try and atone for their transgressions in their own way. Now they've offered to help Natsu's group find some hidden potential within themselves. Naturally, Erza is a little hesitant at accepting their offer.
And, as if glory wasn't enough, now the group has a second reason to participate in the tournament. Personally, I think this reason was a little cliché.
Honestly, a dark source of magic in the tournament, hmmmmmm who could it be...
*stares at the page with Raven tail's master*
Why, it looks like we got ourselves a groovy mystery, gang.
Hmmm wanted to see Luxus, Freed, Mirajane and Gajeel in action... I'm getting tired of all this coincidence (not a single one of 'em all returned) bs.
And pretty much yeah... almost every mystery until now has an answer: Edolas
It's possible that Gajeel will join Raven Tail (as Makarov's double agent), but I think he'll be better suited to beat the other Dragon Slayer, though Wendy did apparently learn some new moves which I'm assuming are offensive for her sake. I'm sure how Lucy was chosen over a number of people, guess Makarov believes it's better to be lucky than skillful.
I still fully expect there to be battles in spite of everything that's been said so far. This is a Shounen Manga after all.

I don't really mind not seeing Luxus and Freed.. I don't really like those characters anyhow. Plus it's incredibly difficult to keep a manga going with so many different characters all over the place. Makes the story slow and sluggish and on the whole (even) less interesting.
What I'm tired of is seeing Natsu being weak (and then getting some bs powerup which somehow allows him to beat up the biggest badass on the playground). I mean, he's probably gonna get his ass handed to him by these two new dragonslayers; which is going to annoy me to no end, I can tell. I wish he would just get stronger, once and for all...
Anyway I have a theory about these dragon Lacryma (like the one Luxus got stuffed in him by his old man). The way to obtain it is by killing the dragon of the same element (random speculation). So maybe the reason Igneel suddenly left is because Natsu is supposed to find him in some epic quest and then beat him in epic battle, after which Natsu will get the epic Lacryma, which will allow him to become the epic Dragon King that finally beats Acnologia and Zeref..... Just an epic suggestion .
It's gonna be a really nice fight tournament next chapter...cannot wait...woohoo!!
Hmm... who's under that mask in Raven Tail? My money would be on Gajeel, but Natsu didn't say anything about a familiar smell. If that is Gajeel he probably knocked her out to keep her away from those crazy 3rd gen dragon slayers, but that's still supposing that was Gajeel.

Army Wives Season Finale Review: Major Changes
Monday, June 13th, 2011In a finale unlike any other we&39;ve experienced so far, the ordinary days of our army wives are overshadowed when they learn Fort Marshall will be closed and the 23rd disbanded. Read on to see how this affects our critic.
For a season finale, with such incredibly far-reaching changes, this didn't feel like much of a finale at all. A series finale, maybe, but we already know that the show is renewed for next year.
What are the odds that every one of the characters won't come back? I'd say nil. So where does this leave them? I can't think of another show that has thrown such a huge change into the mix at the end of a season.
Honestly, it's really difficult to talk about this episode, but I'll give it a shot.Let's start with Michael and the drunk driving incident: I was wondering when that video would come into play. Two episodes ago, they showed it in the previews, and then there was no mention of it last week.

When brilliant archaeologist Dilara Kenner is contacted by Sam Watson, an old family friend who says that he has crucial information about her missing father, Dilara abandons her Peruvian dig and rushes to Los Angeles to meet him. But at the airport, Sam speaks instead of Noah's Ark—the artifact her father had long been searching for—and the possible death of billions. Before Sam can explain, he collapses. With his dying breath, he urges Dilara to find Tyler Locke—a man she's never heard of.
Two days later Dilara manages to track down former combat engineer Tyler Locke on an oil rig off Newfoundland. Her helicopter transport goes down well short of the oil rig's landing pad and Dilara and those aboard nearly drown. No sooner is Dilara safely on the rig than she convinces Tyler the crash was no accident. Tyler agrees to help her uncover the secret behind Noah's Ark and, more important, her father's disappearance. As the picture begins to come into focus, they realize they have just seven days to find the Ark before its secret is used to wipe out civilization once again.
With a chilling premise and a blistering pace, Boyd Morrison combines all the best elements of a blockbuster thriller with an intelligent and fascinating exploration of one of the Old Testament's great mysteries.
©2010 Boyd Morrison (P)2010 Simon & Schuster
"great summer read"
I enjoyed this book, as did my two daughters. The story was taut and exciting - the characters engaging; Tyler Locke reminded me a lot of Cussler"s Dirk Pitt, but since I love Pitt I don't mind the resemblance if Clive doesn't.
I also enjoyed the twist on Noah's Ark and the flood, strange, yet as plausible as any of the current theories out there.
I found this a perfect summer read - not too light,not too heavy - just right.
Words are cool.
"Really cool!!!"
Really cool. Right up there with Clive Cussler, James Rollins and Matthew Reilly. Love the twist on the Noah's Ark story. Tyler Locke is a great protag and I'm looking forward to his next adventure
Gaines does a fine job narrating. I really enjoyed this book. Next please.
Dont let the narrarator ruin your listening to a good book! I read waaay to many "critics" who go on and on about a bad narrarater, so what!
"okay but not great"
Pretty good overall concept, but as USUUAL, the military folks were stereotypical, and the egghead types were either evil geniuses or high minded academics. Could have been much better. I'm tired of "delta force" being portrayed as robots, etc. I'm not saying the authors have to be military experts BUT if they're going to make it part of the story they should be accurate, ex. over reliance on this or that kind of weapon that we ALL know about and comic book dialog between the soldiers, etc. Narration was fine, but I never let the narraration ruin a book for me.
"Too Predictable"
The characters were too perfect. Everything came too easy to them.
Anybody who could read a little faster.
The Russian female bad girl
All in all, I found myself preferring to listen to the news on the radio rather than plug in my iPod and listen to this book. I make myself listen to everyhing I pay for even if it is bad but it was not easy with this book. I read all the reviews before purchasing and thought that some of the people who reviewed it were being overly critical so I clicked 'Buy' anyway. Guess I should have paid more attention to those reviews.
"Trying to be something it's not"
It seemed to drag on and on unnecessarily.
Not very dynamic
I would recommend James Rollins for anyone interested in this type of book. Much better author.
"Great story! Always held my attention."
After reading it made the whole story of the ark more believable.
Indiana Jones series, in more modern times!
Noahs Ark is found!
"Great book!"
I really enjoyed this book. It is not a sappy love story, which I much appreciate. It is just a really good story. It is sort of science fiction but it is also sort of a thriller because the scenario could happen someday in real life. I liked it a lot and have since read both the other books based on the character Tyler Locke which although quite different in storyline have some similar elements in that their stories could really happen/have happened. Great reads!
The fact that things in the story could happen/have happened in real life - it was fiction and a bit far-fetched, but still easily in the realm of the possible.
Well after getting into the story I realized that I actually had read the book, but I was better able to picture the scenes and action by his reading. I did like that he changed his voice a bit for the different characters. I think that helps follow the dialogue.
Yes. I usually listen only in the car but I also listened to this one at home several times.
The reader was a tad slow and I enjoyed it more when played at 1.25X
"A great alternate take on the story of Noah's ark."
A top rate story line with an interesting twist on Noahs Ark. The story has some expected scenes and twists, though the overall plot is sound. It could have been a little shorter, but filled in the areas that could have dragged on with action. I have read a few Flood/ark stories lately, and this on was a different twist.
"Noah's Ark Meet Da Vinci's Code"
Similar to the Dan Brown book. The Ark contains fairly cinematic writing. You can see how this could be made into a movie either for TV of the theater. The tale is engaging and contains some of the trademark trivia minutiae that Dan Brown wows us with in his books. If you are fan of the Dan Brown books, you will like this. If you are not, it's still worth a listen.
"Pretty Good For What It Is..."
I have to preface this by saying I very rarely listen to or read fiction. So this was a change for me to begin with and I was hesitant for that reason. But I needed a break from my usual serious non-fiction topics. I guess I would describe this as "ear-candy". By that I mean it's an enjoyable listen but I didn't expect it to be very deep, and it wasn't. I'm a little surprised at some reviews that seem shocked and disappointed at how unrealistic aspects of this are; just read the description, are we really expecting realism in a "thriller novel" about a Bible story? I would think anyone wanting realism might try the non-fiction section. But again, I admit that I don't typically read fiction, so maybe there IS realistic fiction out there, although I'd be slightly surprised if it exists on this sort of topic.
I suppose my lack of disappointment is in part due to the lack of high expectations I had regarding the realism in the story. Having said that, it certainly is unrealistic! Much of it had me thinking "yeah right" or "as if" in my head, but the storytelling was good and the story was still fun, so I enjoyed it nonetheless. The narrator was very good, he had a lot of voices and accents to juggle and I didn't find anything in that regard lacking. I do feel the author got too far off-track from the "Ark" storyline, but it would have been a very short, pointless story otherwise. The main idea of the storyline I think was the "mystery" of the ark claim, and so the characters really had to do a bunch of running around to solve it, otherwise it wouldn't really be a story, would it? The "twist" wasn't much of a twist, I saw most of it coming save a few details, but not to the extent that it ruined the listen for me.
One thing I disliked was the inevitable romance factor; that just annoys me and it ultimately served no real purpose to the story.
One important note; I probably would be annoyed had I paid the full price amount for this book. I got it for MUCH less on sale so I felt it was worthwhile, especially given the length of it. Overall I think it was a fun listen as long as you aren't expecting a literary masterpiece. "Ear-Candy", I maintain.

Will they finish with a better record than Michigan? Michigan is picked to finish 5th in the Big Ten... MSU is picked lower...
Paul Konyndyk SpartanMag.com Opening statement: Coach's interview post-game Obviously we left some points off the board in the first half. When you get an opportunity to get down there and you find yourself inside the 30-yard line, you have to come away with points. We missed a field goal. We got a punt blocked. That's 10 points right there. We had some big plays from Otis Wiley in the first half. We had a Ringer touchdown called back because of holding. I think Mark makes an outstanding catch, but they replay it. And BJ Cunningham makes an outstanding catch and we're called for interference. You get down there, you have to make plays. Credit our guys, we kept playing. I like the way we competed. We played a lot of players tonight. We played a lot of young guys. And give credit to Cal. They played with class, I thought. They have good team speed, and they came ready to play as well. It was a good football game. I wish we had climbed back in. We had chances. I thought we got momentum back. We had chances to start to turn it, and then boom something would happen and they would make a play. I thought one of the key plays of the game was Riley's throw when we had him trapped and everything and he just fluttered it up there and the guy made a catch. That jailbreak spring right before that on third down got them the first down. So we had chances, and I think we were down by 3 at that point. We will go back an critique what we've got and we will be ready to play next week. There is no quit in this football team. We will get better. Your defense was strong early, but later didn't get them stopped. Were you getting worn down? I think we got a little worn down. We are playing younger players and they ran some inside zone and we didn't get the guy to ... it was very loud out there, so we are supposed to call a guy into that gap, and he couldn't hear him, and inexperience doesn't allow the guy to get in there and they creased us a little bit. Things happen out there, but the guys keep playing. We got big plays from Wiley. I thought Hoyer had some big plays. Ringer played well. Mark Dell played well. So we made our share of plays but we came up short. Even at the end, we kept playing. But they crease us for an 80-yarder. On being held to 80 yards rushing overall? "We knew we were losing some good offensive linemen from last year. And there were some guys playing for the first time. Joel Foreman played a lot, and he's a redshirt freshman. It's always tough to say until you look at it. But they put a lot of people up there. And when they put a lot of people up there sometimes you have to throw it some. And they tackled pretty well. They are a good football team. They have won 23 of 27 in this stadium. When they win that turnover margin, they win. And I'd say a blocked punt is significant. On mental mistakes and penalties: Well, I'm going to have to look at some of the penalties. But there were some things there that we can control and maybe there are some things that you can't control on those penalties. B.J. goes up and tries to make a play on the ball. And we're down there and we get a hold on the goal line. Those are two big ones. We get a facemask on a reverse and they move them down there. I know we had a lot of penalties, and that is uncharacteristic of what we did last year. So we have to work on that, and work to change that. Some people thought your team would make a statement one way or another with this game. What statement do you think you made? I think the statement that we made if you want to look on the positive end of things is that we didn't quit. We kept playing. I didn't see us loafing out there. I didn't see anybody quitting, because the game could have gotten away from us, but we came back and kept playing to the end. I think the other statement that you have to make is we need to get better. We can't beat ourselves. That's the first thing we have to do. We can't beat ourselves. There was a bad snap on the punt. It wasn't something they did. It was a bad snap and a bobbled punt. They had one too. Usually sometimes early in the season, those things happen. And we missed a field goal. There's 10 points. We had a toss sweep for a touchdown and it gets called for holding. That's 17 points (actually 14 because the missed field goal was on the same drive as the toss sweep hold); that's in the first half alone. When those things happen, it's tough to rebound from that. We came out in the second half and got it to three but we couldn't get over the hump. On the disappointment of playing close again but losing: This wasn't quite like the others because we were scratching to get back in it. And we did. But it has no effect on me. We play every game in the present, here. We will get ready to play next week. I promise you we will be ready to play against Eastern Michigan. What did you see on the last drive? We got the ball back with 40 seconds left and made a couple of plays. I guess we were high on a couple of them. We didn't convert. But we kept pushing. Did Weaver come out with an injury? Yeah, Weaver had some cramps. Did you have to play second-string defensive ends more because of injuries? We had some guys nicked up prior to, so Brandon and Trevor did not practice their last week. Those guys (Holmes and Neely) had done a nice job and we knew we had to play a lot of guys. They all played.
8 penalties...two negating TD's...check Susceptible to big plays...check Special teams failures...check Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...check The D-line didn't pressure much and the O-line couldn't get much room for Ringer and forced Hoyer to scramble often and take some shots. Hoyer was shaky to start, but looked more comfortable as the game wore on. Except for being checked out of the play on the 81 yard TD, Wiley looked great with 2 INT's and a TD. Dell looked phenomenal with 202 yds, 1 TD, and just barely missing on another TD catch. In many ways they looked like the same ole Spartans. Still...I liked what I saw...they didn't quit. Even the Cal players appreciated their effort, hanging around on the field afterward to shake hands and talk with the Spartys.
That about says it all, Detteam. Good post. I would assume they will knock off EMU next week. Thanks for the article Nemo.
not too discouraged by the loss...cal is a good team. hoyer needs to be more accurate, and they sure do miss caulcrick to get some bruising yards and open things up for ringer. wiley played great and dell looks pretty good.
They rarely played Ringer & Caulcrick together, but Caulcrick might have softened up opposing D a little for Ringer. You're right about Hoyer's accuracy. He threw a number of high hard ones that got tipped by receivers and he's lucky they weren't intercepted.
Now here's a big win: 23-7 Spartans over the Irish. Ringer continues to rack up TD's and yardage. Spartan Defense just sifled Notre Lame.
Sparty doesn't have a dang QB. I'm concerned they may not win another game. That guy is terrible. At least he didn't fumble it away today. But yes, Ringer and the defense have looked incredible. I like that coach too. Ringer=Heisman candidate? Hey UM...little brother took care of business against Notre Dame for you. No thanks necessary. If UM only wins one more game this season we all know it's going to be against MSU!
Very impressed with MSU today. QB will be fine. Total team victory against ND. MSU should make some noise in the Big Ten this season. With a bowl game, could do 9-10 victories.
Dude, I'm telling you they can't win with Hoyer at QB. Once we play good teams they will stop Ringer because even Notre Dame knew every play was going to him. He can't carry it 40 times all season without breaking down... And you know the scUM is going to break his legs if he is still standing when we get to them in the big house. I'm very excited MSU won, but I'm keeping it in perspective. OUR QB SUX!!! I would never wish injury on a player, but I hope they bench him...which they won't...not that we have a backup anyhow. Right now I think they will struggle to get 7 wins and get in a bowl. But with all that said, I hope somehow you are right.

HUGO ––City of Hugo authorities met with contractors and developers at the groundbreaking site for Hugo's new Windhaven Edition Wednesday afternoon.
In approximately six-months time, the edition will house 25 new brick houses that will be part of a low-income housing, tax credit project. To qualify to rent a single-person home, through Sunview Development, one must make $18,000 or less, with higher income thresholds for families.
"There's a huge need for good housing in rural Oklahoma," Lance Windel with Sunview Development said. "We hope to bring something that the residents of Hugo need."
Hugo's own real-estate proprietor Leeoma Caldwell played a part in the formation of this project.

- Description
Rapid Replenishment & Recovery Formula
What you eat, when you eat it, and how much you eat has a dramatic effect on your performance. But, not all nutrient combinations work equally well. Our 2:1:1 Recovery formula is based on the latest science demonstrating that blending different types of carbs and proteins maximizes absorption and leads to better results than the use of larger amounts of any single type. Hydrolyzed whey, micellar casein, and egg albumen proteins provide immediate and sustained amino acid delivery for repair and rebuilding while the precise ratio of simple sugars and rapidly-digesting carbs in 2:1:1 Recovery helps refuel and replenish hard-working muscles. And with 5 grams of added BCAAs in the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, there's no question that 2:1:1 Recovery is an indispensable part of every serious athlete's routine.
2:1:1 Carbohydrate Ratio
2 x Glucose Polymers + Waxy Maize Starch
1 x Sucrose
1 x Fructose
2:1:1 Protein Ratio2 x Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 2:1:1 Recovery™ - Colossal Chocolate:
I work out 5-6 times a week and am paranoid about post-workout refueling. I'm always a little skeptical about whether my powder actually contains "whey protein isolate" since that type of claim can't be regulated. That said, you can't fudge the numbers as to how much actual protein is in each serving and 17 grams of really good tasting protein is good enough for me.

Great after workout Protein. Tastes awesome and with all ON products, mixes extremely well. Take within 1/2 hour of workout and it has just the right amount of fast packed carbs and protein to help your body recover for the next day. Hope it never goes away, been using it for 4 years and won't stop. Combine with ON Pro Complex for your daily protein and you won't be sorry.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 2:1:1 Recovery™ - Colossal Chocolate:
This is a great pw shake for the serious athlete who needs more calories, carbs, and sugars after his intense workout. The 2:1:1 formula is perfect for endurance athletes who train for over 2 hours a day with multiple workouts. I am a swimmer and need any where from 3000-7000 calories a day. This product helps me recovery quicker then anything I have tried in the past. I usually mix 1-2 scoops of this up and drink it immediately after my 3 hour practice. The taste isn't bad and it is a little tuff to mix but that doesn't bother me. I don't recommend this product to any non athletes or body builders because of the sugar content. However I can't recommend this enough to athletes.

TV Watch Just the shows you care about
After a hometown date from hell, The Bachelor's Sean Lowe withheld the rose from early frontrunner Desiree Hartsock. The L.A.-based bridal stylist was devastated and the audience was stunned, but now the fan favorite will be the one handing out the flowers when The Bachelorette premieres May 27 on ABC. Although she would not say if her TV journey ended in jewelry, Hartsock spoke to reporters this week about her suitors, strategies and surviving Sean.
What did you learn from your experience on The Bachelor? Did you steal any of Sean's strategies?
I was able to put myself in the guys' shoes to really understand what they were feeling. From Sean, I [learned] to take each and every day separately and really focused on each and every relationship.
You seemed heartbroken when Sean eliminated you. Why put yourself through this very public experience again?
I was upset when Sean sent me home but that just showed the emotions are real and you really can fall for someone. But before going on this show, I had already [moved] past that and knew Sean and I weren't meant to be together. I figured why not give The Bachelorette a chance? I was honestly able to put my whole heart out there and just let it happen.

The Real Housewives Of New Jersey
Before the explosive new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres June 2 on Bravo, Andy Cohen is sitting down with the show's feuding stars to discuss a number of topics, including how close relationships were fractured.
Among them? Melissa Gorga's song, "On Display."
Apparently, her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice thinks the song – which Gorga wrote and recorded during her first season on the show – may be about her.
"So many people told me that," Teresa tells Cohen in a clip of Watch What Happens Live: NJ Housewives Tell All, airing Sunday (8 p.m. ET) on Bravo.
The issue is in the lyrics about being followed by paparazzi.
Time slowed down, and when the moment of truth arrived, Candice Glover and Kree Harrison both found themselves muttering the other's name – each believing the night belonged to their close friend and rival.
"I was saying her name, because I was just certain he was going to say it, so I was like, 'Oh yeah, Kree, Kree, Kree,' and she was like, 'No, Candice, Candice, Candice,' " a stunned Glover told reporters shortly after Wednesday's American Idol finale.
In the end, Harrison was right. But while there is only one American Idol, these two women both found, in each other, a friend for life.

There were plenty of divas on the stage at the American Idol finale Thursday night. But two of them had the distinction of being – at one time or another – judges on the show. (They're also both moms to twins!)
Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez took the stage during the two-hour musical extravaganza, which crowned Candice Glover the winner of season 12.
Mariah, dressed in a glittering, feathered gown and gobs of jewels, performed a medley of her hits, including "Vision of Love," "Make It Happen," "My All," "Hero" and "We Belong Together," as well as her new song, "#Beautiful." It was a fluttering – and, yes, pre-recorded – performance of vocal acrobatics from the singer and current judge.

The series finale of The Office took up an hour and 15 minutes of NBC's prime-time schedule Thursday night. The last quarter-hour had a special sentimental magic, as we got parting moments with each of the characters at the Dunder Mifflin paper company of Scranton, Pa.
The rest you could have fed into a shredder.
After a season that carefully worked out significant narrative strands – the ultimately inevitable ascension to manager of the insufferable Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), the unexpectedly tender travails in the marriage of Jim and Pam (John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer) – this episode was poorly conceived and clumsily structured.
It really wasn't worthy of all the years of affectionate humor that had gone before it.

trying to get back into the swing of things now that November is over. (to the few people that were missing me, i spent last month working, gaming and writing ^-^.) i'll be done polishing up my short story quite soon and who knows, i might post a little bit of it here. :D
in spite of all the Flashpoint & DCnU hubbub, i don't want you guys to think that i simply stopped reading the RK manga before it go to the best parts!
for the record, i really wanted to put up the whole Kenshin vs Cho fight but the scans on my pc weren't that great. as i was reading the manga, i shivered with excitement just when the fight was reaching it's climax…and that's when i decided that i NEEDED to rewatch the anime.
without further ado, we walk toward the Kyoto Arc!

Surveillance Blimp Near Marfa Could Soon Be History
By: Dylan Brooks
Updated: January 24, 2013
The Big Bend Sentinel reports that the Tethered Aerostat Radar System -- which is located near Valentine -- could soon be shutting down.
Such a closure could cost upwards of 20 people in the Marfa area their jobs.
The radar balloon -- which sits tethered to the ground about 12,000 feet above the earth -- has been monitoring low flying aircraft in the Big Bend region for more than 16 years.
The Aerostat balloon nosedived to the ground during a windstorm on February 14th.
No one was injured in the crash, which happened after an operator misread a high wind warning.
However, the crash caused more than $8.8 million in damages.
Officials at Langley Air Force base in Virginia haven't commented on the possible closure of the Tethered Aerostat Radar System.

Whenever I am working with number and bullet lists, I have a devil of a time trying to format the! Now I know I have been looking at the wrong side of the sentence!
Thanks for the tip.
Discussion on:
I consider myself a Word expert, but this is one that's continued to trip me up through the years. Thanks for clarifying that!!
Have you found a way to apply underline format to just the number? MS changed this functionality a few versions ago and I haven't worked out how to get around it. I can apply any font format except underline to the paragraph numbers and it is driving me mad!
Unfortunately, I don't know of any way -- it's one of those mysteries... maybe a reader will have the answer for both of us!
I thought you were asking how to underline a single number -- it's the one format I can't get to stick using the paragraph marker.
once numbers are highlighted by clicking on one of them - click the underline icon. That works for me in Word 2007 - even if i can't change the font of individual numbers
Right-click on the numbers and left-click Font in the short-cut menu. Select Font, choose the Underline style and click OK.

Unfortunately that underlines the numbers in all of the paragraphs with the same numbering style. I need to be able to underline the number in selected paragraph(s) without affecting the others with the same style. You can do this for all font characteristics except underline - eg bold, italic, colour, etc will all work but not underline.
... in Word 2K. One of these days I'll have to upgrade to Office XP (2002).
By the bye, you can keep your hands on the keyboard and toggle Show/Hide markers w/ [Crtl]+[Shift]+[8].
By the bye, you can keep your hands on the keyboard and toggle Show/Hide markers w/ [Crtl]+[Shift]+[8].
Once I started the list and then followed your directions, it worked; cool! But when I formatted all of the numbers by clicking any number and changed the text, and then trying to make one red with the paragraph marker, it did not work. Any suggestions?

Rated 5 out of 5 by kbaltimore Love this Sweater!
I bought three of these V-neck sweaters and I love them. I love the length, and the fabric is very soft for wool. I wish it were available in more colors!

Rated 5 out of 5 by deejay Beautiful soft merino wool
I love this merino wool top. This multi-season sweater layers beautifully under suits. It is extremely well made, too, from an ultra-soft merino that is a delight to wear against bare skin without the itch that inferior wools can bring. The neckline is just right - not too deep but enough of a V to be flattering without sacrificing modesty or professionalism. You could dress this up or down.

Rated 2 out of 5 by BYBY In a hurry
It was my own fault for shopping in a hurry. The color is nice but the material in thin and shapeless.

Rated 5 out of 5 by roboz Great Pullover
This year's V-neck is the best ever. The width is similar to last year's v-neck in the bust, but the dropped shoulder seam and fuller sleeves, together with the longer length and slightly fuller lower body make it perfect as a pullover. It goes easily over shirts as well as Brooks' turtleneck merino sweaters. Highly recommended, and I'm hoping Brooks Brothers keeps this design in the future.

Founding members Dave Eivins, rythym guitar/lead vocals and Lance Larsen drums/backing vocals, found a perfect fit in Dave Yazel on lead guitar/backing vocals as he was welcomed to the band in 2005. In 2009 the band broke up. After a few years they decided to get back together for a reunion, to benefit a long time friend. At that time, Dennis Nicholson joined the band on bass guitar. After that first show filled with great response and support, the band decided to book some more shows.

"I do not need magic to change the world; I carry all the power I need inside myself already: I have the power to imagine better." – J. K. Rowling
When I accepted a job as a sixth grade world history teacher, I knew that I was entering territory that had been occupied by many critical educators before me. I knew of the possibilities of education when it was melded with critical consciousness, and I was eager to partake in those possibilities, possibly extending them further.
I entered the education field with many tools at my disposal: an education from Florida A&M University, the full support of my family, my lifelong commitment to the field, and a true love for the subject that I was teaching. But, I knew that the goal that I had in mind for education would require something else, and that I would have to call upon my critical imagination to make that goal a reality. Spells would not be needed for the work that I was undertaking, but I did know that my critical imagination would serve me well in this endeavor, and, so, I entered the classroom with a commitment to feminist principles. I would as bell hooks says, educate out of a love for male and female being, refusing to privilege one over the other.
I have witnessed the opening of many doors on my journey as a feminist educator. Early on, I was given the opportunity to teach an elective class along with the content area course that I was required to teach. I conversed with many friends about the nature of the elective course, and what I wanted it to be, and with the encouragement of fellow feminist educator, Darnell Moore, I decided that I would teach a course on Media Studies as my elective. I truly felt that by interrogating the media, I would be able to bring a feminist ethics into the classroom in ways that are both interesting and liberating.
My journey as a feminist educator began on August 22, 2011. I'll admit that I was a little nervous upon entering the classroom, and choosing to do the work that I was setting out to do. There are many people in the field of education, many of whom love it dearly, but there are few people educating for critical consciousness, and thus I knew that the work that I was about to undertake would be both risky and dangerous. For one thing, we are a society that deeply mistrusts and undervalues the critical capabilities of our students. We shield our students away from thinking critically about race, gender, and class, in the hopes that their ignorance of these issues will somehow make them more capable of confronting them. So, I dealt with the nagging insecurity that I would be misunderstood and misjudged for believing in the critical capabilities of sixth graders, for thinking that the 11 and 12 year old mind was as, or more, capable of confronting the deep questions plaguing our world today. Would sixth graders appreciate bell hooks? Would an 11 year old understand Toni Morrison? These were questions on my mind, and ones that I have been able to answer as the months have gone on.
It's impossible for me to recount all the classroom experiences I have had over the past few months, but there have been many occasions of joy and reverie in my feminist classroom. I wasted no time in getting my students to think critically about gender, race, and class. After an initial breakdown of the five categories of the media, I had my students' list terms and phrases that they felt were associated with each category: film, TV, movies, radio, and newspapers. These categories generated many responses, and thus began our journey.
One of the first things I did was a feminist educator was to train my students to be critical consumers of the media. I utilized Channel One news, to teach my students how to analyze, and not just be entertained by, the media. I had to model this behavior for my students, and, so, I showed them what kinds of things to look for. Was their racial diversity among the anchors? Were the anchors dressed in stereotypical colors or clothing to go along with their gender? How was class inserted into the shows? My students are now very adept at analyzing the news, and all aspects of media.
In one particular incident, Channel One news anchors repeatedly referred to the viewing audience by using the supposedly gender neutral greeting "Hey guys." I asked my students whether or not they felt that "hey guys" was a gender neutral greeting, and while some of them thought it was, many other challenged the notion. Male and female students were quick to point out that one gender should not have to accept being ignored. One female student noted that she is not a guy, and didn't want to be called one, either. I sent an email to Channel One news producer Dr. Paul Falkner letting him know that while my students and I enjoyed the newscast, we did not appreciate the privilege of one gender over the other. I shared the email with my students, and showed them the follow up response that I got from Channel One news. We were excited to see the show change its language, if only momentarily. Current broadcasts continue to struggle with using gender inclusive language, but my students remain critical of each occurrence, and always make note when an anchor refers to men and women as "guys."
I and my students have tackled many issues in our Media Studies class. We have discussed the JC Penny's T-shirt incidents, Occupy Wall Street, the death of Libyan dictator Gadhafi, the use and misuse of power, violence, homecoming queens, school bullying, media stereotypes, and much, much more. All of these issues have been better illuminated by the foregrounding of race, gender, and class consciousness into the classroom. We have been able to do more than scratch the surface of issues, but to truly interrogate them with a critical eye.
Most recently, I have been guiding my students through film, and allowing them to critically dissect the way that race, gender, and class are communicated in films directed toward children. PG films like The Incredibles aren't usually thought to message our children about race, gender, and class, but they do. My students noted that Frozone's wife had a stereotypical Black woman's voice. My students noted that Helen aka "Elastigirl" spent the majority of the film doing housework. My students noted that there was a lack of racial diversity in the film, and that all of the cops were men. Their findings could go on and on. I want to note that these are critical discoveries they are making with their 11 and 12 year old eyes. Their young minds are keenly aware of the way that gender, race, and class are being messaged to them.
As a feminist educator, it is not enough for me to focus solely on gender. I strongly believe that systems of domination work in accordance with each other to marginalize our lives. My focus, as a feminist educator, has to be on race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, and disability. I have to make critical interventions in the classroom concerning a number of issues, and the work is never done.
Just recently, I had a student remark that she was going to paint her dog's nails, but then thought otherwise because it is a male dog. I encouraged my student to consider that a female dog wouldn't necessarily be any more interested in having its nails painted either. The student came to understand that we can't make assumptions about gender that not all boys and girls like the same things, and that is why gender stereotypes are so dangerous.
I'm sure many are wondering how my student's parents feel about the work that I am doing in their students educational lives. I am pleased to say that I have received support and affirmation from my student's parents. One of my coworkers, who have a son in my class, awarded me for the school's "academic achievement" award, given to an outstanding classroom teacher who shows passion for the subject, and encourages students to make real-world connections with what is being learned. She noted the work that I am doing in the media studies class as one of the main reasons for giving me this award. I have had parents tease me about their homes becoming locations where all sorts of stereotypes are recognized, named, and challenged.
I feel very fortunate to be doing the work that I am doing. I know that some people search an entire lifetime looking to do the passionate work they were put on this earth to perform, and I am glad to say that I am performing my work at the age of twenty-three. I trusted in my imagination, I listened deeply to my critical voice, and I made a commitment to education. I never once doubted that my sixth graders wouldn't be able to grasp the concepts we discuss, or that they wouldn't be interested in the work that we do in our class. In my opinion, the mind is more fecund at their age, and, thus, more open to interrogating topics of race, gender, and class. I think we truly do ourselves, and our nation, a disservice by making students wait until college to discuss the topics that they are more than capable of discussing in middle school. My students have shown that they are capable, and countless other students around the country have as well. I am proud to be among the ranks of the world's feminist educators, and I hope to continue to doing the powerful and necessary work of feminist education. New narratives are being written in education, and I intended to continue being one of the writers.

In 1937, the company was founded with the intention of creating sunglasses to protect eyes from the sun's damage. After the first frames were released they quickly caught on in popularity, especially with the pilots in the U.S. Airforce. Being adopted to help the pilots see while flying made these a quick favorite and necessity among the military ever since.
RayBan brings distinctive and unique styling to their frames. They created the Wayfarer and Ray-Ban Aviator, and those two styles have remained among the most popular frames in the world. Seen on countless celebrities and everyday people alike, Ray-Ban eyewear is everywhere. The "Never Hide" slogan is perfectly fitting for the brand, and the styles will endure forever.

Every year countless children are being expelled from Preschool for behavior challenges that result from a lack of skills. Teachers and Administrators are overwhelmed and the children who most need these basic skills taught are slipping away. Often, when one of these children are expelled, they literally have no other place to go and thus a cycle of violence and poverty increases. In this video, narrated by Dr. Becky Bailey, you will learn about the problem and see the solution in action that can dramatically reduce the rates of Preschool expulsion and lessen the burden on school staff.

text: I just ordered this bundle from WalMart, it's the best deal I've seen (ignoring tax...) at $129 w/ free shipping for the 110HS, an 8GB SDHC card, and a Case Logic camera case. All colors are currently in stock. You may be able to find the bare camera for a few bucks less or without tax, but this is still a pretty hot deal in my opinion since it's from an authorized retailer and they have everything in stock.
