Turin's fireworks 24/6/2009
Every June on 24 in Turin we use to make fireworks and parties to honor the patron saint of the city 'San Giovanni'. This is a common festival in many Italian's cities each one has its own Patron to be proud of and each one will have the proper celebration day. Can not miss that opportunity for photos night time.
I was so happy and amazed by the potential of my new Canon 450D, is incredible what is possible achieve with a tripod and a high ISO sensors.
The digital revolution for sure has changed totally how I make photos night time, many will come later on.
Next time I do have to find out in Turin a better place to view the fireworks, better then my own balcony Turin has great landscape and images that worth to make pictures at night. All the squares, churches, monuments are enlightened.
- the images have been realized using a digital SLR Canon 450D, wait to load completely the page before click on the photos, be aware that it can take several seconds -

Republican incumbents coasted to re-election Tuesday night, preserving the GOP's control of the freeholder board and sheriff's office.
Voters re-elected longtime GOP freeholders Gerry Little and John C. Bartlett Jr. and Sheriff William L. Polhemus by wide margins, with 99 percent of votes reported at 11:30 p.m.
Unofficially, Little and Bartlett captured 111,630 votes and 117,495 votes, respectively, far exceeding the totals recorded for Democratic candidates Joseph Grisanti (74,261) and Pat Barndt (71,738). Independent challengers Scott Newman and Tracy Caprioni each struggled to capture 1 percent of votes cast, with 3,510 and 3,828 votes, respectively.
Polhemus will enter his 28th year in office in 2013 after garnering nearly 56 percent of the vote for sheriff with 110,450 votes. Democratic challenger George "Bob" Armstrong garnered 82,031 votes cast, and Independent John McMenamin received less than 3 percent, with 5,140 votes.
With Little and Bartlett's re-election, the five-member freeholder board remains stable for the 10th straight year.
Little will be entering his 10th year on the Ocean freeholder board after long experience in government, including a council stint in Surf City and tenure on the Long Beach Township Board of Commissioners. He served as director of the board in 2006 and deputy in 2011 and 2009.
Little also served as chief of staff for the 9th Legislative District from 1984 until his retirement in 2003. Little, a former Marine, also served on the Ocean County Planning Board and county Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Council. As a freeholder, Little has chaired Human Services and worked as the liaison to departments including Veterans Services, Social Services and more.
Bartlett, the chairman of the Departments of Finance and Parks and Recreation, is a former Pine Beach mayor and councilman as well as an ex-teacher at Toms River High School North. He served as director of the freeholder board five times previously and was deputy director twice.
He will enter his 34th year in office.
Provisional ballots are still outstanding and must be counted before the Ocean County Clerk's Office certifies the results.

I remember the days when being a Republican had some honor and value attached to it. Then along came Gilmore. And I also remember when Romney had values; the values that cost him reelection as a Governor. Now he represents everything, which is nothing more than being another national Republican standard-bearer. Maybe there will be a real Republican in next year's election. I hope I'm living in that state if such an event ever happens again.

There are some very good third party candidates competing for seats this year. I suggest looking into them. I'm definitely voting for the Democratic-Republican candidates for Freeholder (Neuman & Caprioni), and pretty much every independent candidate is superior to the two bums running on the major party tickets for Congress in the 3rd District (Jon Runyan & Shelley Adler), though I have to admit to being partial to Rob Witterschein.

Remember that Obama is to the Right of Eisenhower, who was a true Republican in 1952-1960... and to the Right of Lincoln as well, simply because the Republican Party has shifted so far to the right that the Democratic Party has also moved to the right and now fills the center-right the way those old time Republicans did. And the Tea Party has driven them further to the right, as has Grover Norquist with his promise demand, which I extract from John O'Brien, a Maryland Lawyer, U.S. Army veteran
"I Senator/Representative, pledge to the taxpayers of my district and my state and to the American people that I will: ONE, oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal tax rate for individuals and business; and TWO, oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."
So without increasing the amount of money the government takes in and without increasing taxes on the top 1 or 2%, how do you propose to get the deficit down and how do you propose to eliminate the excess spending on the military that the Republicans started under Bush with their two wars, and which the Republicans are loath to end because the supply chain from the companies that produce the weapons, aircraft, ships, and equipment will all lose business if the size of the military and the money spent on the military is reduced.

Bob H, with all due respect....you CANNOT possible tell me that Ibama, Pelosi, Reid etc. are center right...that is just worng. cneter was Clinton....Obama is center right? that is simple an incredibly worng statement...maybe you want to believe that but you are not honest with yourself. To the right of Lincoln? Here is a quote by Lincoln and you tell me Obama is right of him:
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." Let's not try to re-write history Bob H.

Yes, President Eisenhower was a real Republican. And in between heart attacks, he played more golf than President Obama could even dream about playing in 8 years. Under Ike's leadership, we won WWII and rebuild America to be a successful and thriving world leader.

Polhemus getting reelected is a complete ignorant move on the part of voters. I'm a die hard Republican and yesterday I taught my child you always have to vote your head not just because someone is in your party. Too bad voters couldn't teach their own kids the same concept. He will get paid $170,000+ a year between salary and pension for the people around him to do his job for him. You can NEVER trust anyone who refuses to debate the issues when running for a public position.
I have spoken

Congrats Little, Bartlett glad your both back in.As for Polhemus, I'm sickened this LOSER, no-show mental incompetant was reelected. What the heck where you voters thinking to keep a man who is not able to do the job, home all day collecting my taxdollars. Shame on you all. This man needed to GO.
7:19 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
I know of at least two votes Polhemus didn't get. Unfortunately, he still got enough to ensure he will probably die of old age while in office.

I want to thank everyone for your support. I started my campaign based on a few plans. I knew fighting the Gilmore Machine and the Ghost of Ritacco would be tough but as one says, if I'm going to complain and want change in a corrupt environment, you have to apply yourself. With no money, little name recognization, the support of the Democratic-Republican Party (which the county clerk illegally removed from the ballots), getting bracketed with the 9/11 team, (Instead of getting completely bracketed with D-R Party), not putting a single sign up, not taking a campaign donation, starting the campaign only six months into the election, and running with one of the best teachers and guys in the state, we still got 1 to 2% of the vote. For Tracy Caprioni and I to get those votes was truly a honor and I think all of you for your support. This was my first time running for office and it was certainly a learning process. An eye opener if you would. I had nothing against either party. I just felt I and Tracy were the better people for the job. More so after Hurricane Sandy. The way the people of this county are being treated is horrible. The Freeholders should be screaming bloody murder. I can't remember an article in the Press or the Patch or the Toms River Online News from them on a daily basis on how this is being handled by them. Daily information needs to be given. Access to homes needs to be given. The Colts Neck Mayor screamed and got some action. How about Ruynon, Smith???
10:55 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
I went to vote yesterday and when it came to the local elections, I certainly wasn't going to vote for Polhemus. So I went with Scott and Tracy. It really boggles the mind how people keep reelecting the same people who are not getting the job done. It's not about party, it's about progress and results.

Figuring out an appropriate headline for documenting my style in 2012. These will be recurring posts on this here blog because 1. I'm on top of my Instagram game 2. You seem to like these 3. Great changes in my life have inspired my love for fashion again.
Prints on prints on top of prints, that is my game these days. I am loving these leopard loafers by Steve Madden paired these Polka Dot Harem pants by Forever 21. Since I have been dropping sizes monthly I need to keep my wardrobe on the cheap if you know what I mean. Prepping for summer: floral shorts? Check! New Karen Walker sunnies? Check! I have always been into bright & bold jewelry so I seriously died when I met up with Gypsy Hunter for happy hour. Her turquoise is amazing – will let you know when her online shop opens up! The Guatemalan necklaces are from one of my favorite shops in L.A., located in the Craft & Folk Art Museum.
Keep it stylin in 2012 boo.

you mean once YOU use it. I have yet to experience anything resembling lag on the device. It runs every game I've thrown at it nice and smooth. Cut the Rope, Jetpack Joyride, and so on. Local 1080p video? Likewise. Streaming 1080p video... likewise. The only thing I have noticed is that if you have a lotta apps open it will drop frames when flipping between them if you go really fast. So, there may be issues with some multitasking. But, it drops the frames, so instead of sliding in apps just pop into frame instead.
Outside of that, it's been pretty darn king. But, that's my experience and perhaps somehow I got lucky and got a stellar device. But, their evidently are performance issues for quite a few people as MS has stated a fix is coming. Again... my experience isn't the same for everybody just as yours or others aren't the same for everybody else.

A presentation of the firm's findings was presented during the February meeting of the Cedartown City Commission by certified public accountant John Holden. Holden reported that the city received a "clean opinion" from the 2011 audit, though it was delayed in arrival.
The report also notes several financial statement findings that are in need of correction – including two items that were previously noted on the 2010 audit.
The report attributes the audit's delay to problems, resulting from the city's employee turnover rate, which caused "significant delays in the completion of the city's books for audit."
Most governmental audits are completed within 180 days of their fiscal year end, which is Dec. 31 for the City of Cedartown.
The city was granted an extension for the 2011 audit in June of last year by the State Department of Audits and Accounts.
Cedartown City Manager Bill Fann said that the city's finance department experienced a reduction in workforce in 2011, taking that office's number of employees down from two to one.
"That certainly a strain in operations and contributed to the delay," Fann said.
The audit report shows that the city has seen a positive trend in revenues over expenses since 2010, though the figure for 2011 is considerably less than it was in 2010. For 2011, the city's revenue over expense is listed at $392,269. In 2010, that figure was topping out at $850,000.
The difference in those two years stem from changes made to water, sewer and solid waste fees.
In 2010, the city increased charges for water, sewer and solid waste, resulting in the collection of greater revenue. But in 2011, the city decreased those rates, which resulted in less revenue.
The report also lists several financial statement findings from the 2011 audit. Auditors discovered that the city's administration department, maintenance shop, code enforcement departments and allocations to the Cedartown Civic Arts Commission had expenditures in excess of appropriations.
In simpler terms: they spent more than they should have.
According to Georgia law, local governments are required operate under an approved annual budget for the general fund, special revenue funds and for debt service funds.
The report states that the city's failure to operate by those terms will place the city in violation of state law. Auditors recommended that the city finance director monitor all legally adopted budgets to ensure compliance.
This same issue was noted in the 2010 audit, but that time, dealt specifically with the arts commission and the cemetery, parks and recreation departments.
The city plans to remedy the audit finding by having the city's finance director review the comparative financial statements of the departments in question to their approved budgets and recommend any necessary budget revisions to the city commission.
"This is a common finding that appears on almost all government audit reports everywhere", Fann said. "We're always going to have an issue with that, it's unavoidable. It's unavoidable because when you are ealing with budgets, they are always changing. No budget is concrete. You're always going to have emergencies and unplanned events. What you hope for is that you have other department budgets that you can pull from so you don't go over."
But that apparently was not the case in 010 or 2011," said Fann, who was appointed in September 2012 as city manager.
Rushton and Company auditor John Holden agreed with Fann.
"It is a common finding on government audits. Though they are in violation with
the overages, there are no legal repercussions," Holden said.
Another finding pointed out in the 2011 audit, and also noted in the 2010 audit, relates to internal controls.
Internal controls are methods put in place by a company to ensure the integrity of financial and accounting information.
Auditors said that the finance clerk has access to manual checkbooks, prepares deposits, prepares all bank reconciliations and posts journal entries for the city. Those journal entries are not being approved another employee, auditors noted.
The report said that proper segregation of duties require that the duties of authorizing and recording of adjustments to the general
ledger be performed by different employees. Failure to do so, according to auditors, exposes the city to a greater risk of fraud.
In order to remedy the issue, the city manager will now review and approve all journal entries posted to the city's general ledger.
The city manager will also review all bank statements and reconciliations.
Fann said that correction is currently in place.
All recommendations listed in the audit have been put into action, Fann said, and the city is on-target for the 2012 audit.
"Auditors were here just this past week for the 2012 audit," Fann said. "They made a lot of progress and we will have a report by June. We will stay on track."

MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2000
Stars : Russell Crowe (Maximus), Joaquin Phoenix (Commodus), Connie Nielsen (Lucilla), Oliver Reed (Proximo), Derek Jacobi (Gracchus), Djimon Hounsou (Juba), Richard Harris (Marcus Aurelius), David Schofield (Falco)
After several years of major releases, it has finally become clear what the DreamWorks strategy is: Each summer, they try to revive some long-dormant Hollywood genre by giving it a splashy, special-effects-laden modern spin. In 1998, they successfully revived the flag-waving World War II epic with Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan." Last summer, they tried (with considerably less success) to bring back the spectacle of the haunted house with Jan De Bont's "The Haunting" (1999).
This summer, however, DreamWorks is going for the unimaginable with their most expensive movie to date: "Gladiator," a $103-million attempt to resurrect the long-dead ancient Roman epic, a once steadfast Hollywood genre that has been defunct since the mid-1960s when big hits like "Ben-Hur" (1959) and "Spartacus" (1960) were eventually overshadowed by colossal financial failures like "Cleopatra" (1963). "Gladiator" is an old-fashioned sword-and-sandal tale with graphic violence and a slick gloss of sentimentality. It almost works.
"Gladiator" opens with the Romans battling the Germanic barbarian tribes in Germania around 180 A.D. Maximum (Russell Crowe), a Roman from the Spanish province (although he speaks with a British accent--go figure), is a highly venerated general who leads his armies to great victories (for the historical record, Rome never managed to defeat the Germans). He is so successful and loved, that the dying Caesar, Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), asks him to accept power when he dies and give the power back to the Senate so that Rome may become a republic again.
Marcus Aurelius' ambitious and cruel son, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), has other plans, and when the Caesar dies he executes Maximums ' family and attempts to have Maximus killed so that power will be maintained on the throne. Maximus escapes, but winds up in slavery where he is bought by an ex-gladiator-turned-profiteer named Proximus (Oliver Reed), who trains him to become a great gladiator.
In ancient Rome, gladiators were sports heroes who were loved and followed by the crowds. Several times in the film, it is emphasized that Rome is not the Caesar or the Senate or even really the people: Rome is the mob. Whatever those bloodthirsty crowds of 50,000 in the Colosseum want, they get. "Win the crowd," Proximus tells Maxiums, which he does by becoming the best gladiator in the Roman Empire.
When Commodus discovers that Maximus is still alive and well, he cannot have him killed because he is loved too much by the crowds. Even when he stacks the odds against Maximus--such as staging a fight against the only other undefeated Roman gladiator and putting a couple of hungry tigers in the ring as well--Maximus is still victorious and, in the process, becomes even more popular. Because of his immense popularity, Maximus is able to begin scheming a way to dethrone Commodus, and he is aided by Commodus' sister, Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), with whom he was once romantically involved, and a Senator named Gracchus (Derek Jacobi).
The story is much less-confusing than it sounds on paper, but director Ridley Scott ("Blade Runner") take a full two and a half hours to tell it. The screenplay, cobbled together in bits and pieces by three screenwriters while shooting was in progress, plays it fast and loose with the historical facts. Maximus is a purely fictional creation, although most of the others appear in historical record.
A great deal of time and money was invested in recreating Rome in all its decadent splendor, and for the record, "Gladiator" is a dark, but visually astounding piece of work. Using computer effects (some of which are better than others), the filmmakers attempt to recreate the spectacle of being in the Colosseum with 50,000 screaming Romans looking down. They include an overhead tracking shot that starts above the Roman streets and moves over the Colosseum, giving us a bird's eye view of the scope and scale of the ancient Roman world (it also makes an interesting connection to modern sports obsession, as the shot is quite reminiscent of the overhead blimp shots that are so common in NFL football games).
While "Gladiator" suffers from an excess of almost sickening sentimentality and a jagged narrative that moves in an often lurching fashion, the film is perfectly cast. They could not have found a better actor to play Maximus than Russell Crowe, who radiates both the power and intelligence necessary for the role. In almost every part he has played, from the neo-Nazi skinhead in "Romper Stomper" (1993), to the violence-prone detective in "L.A. Confidential" (1997), to the embattled corporate whistle-blower in "The Insider" (1999), Crowe exudes raw strength and anger.
Joaquin Phoenix is perfect for the role of Commodus for exactly the opposite reasons. Often shot with overhead lighting that darkens his deep eye sockets, thus giving him the appearance of a skull, Phoenix excels at being menacing in a complete despicable way. The filmmakers stack the deck against him, giving him the clich� effeminate qualities that always characterize cowardly Roman dictators, while also giving him hints of incestuous desire for his sister and even the suggestion of pedophilia.
When "Gladiator" eventually fails, it is because it tries too hard. After all, this a film that was written during principle photography, so it is likely that the story is going to suffer. This didn't stop Scott from trying to fashion a film that would out-emote "Braveheart," and it is here that the film grinds to a dead halt. Scott tries to milk every bit of sentimentality he can from Maximus' slaughtered wife and child, and his simple wish to "go home," which becomes the fuel for his battle.
This is tactical mistake in the story department, as the intrigue of political scheming and the bloody display of gladiatorial battle far outweigh familial sentiment, and it makes one impatient. "Gladiator" has its moments, but those moments are sprinkled throughout an overlong narrative that is never quite sure where it's going or what its purpose is.

Dolph Ziggler
- WWEDVDNews.com reports that there will be three WrestleMania 29 DVD editions for the Australian market – a three-disc collector's edition, a two-disc set and a limited edition version. There will also be a Blu-ray. No word yet if the same versions will be available in other countries.
- As noted earlier, Dolph Ziggler's WWE Download will be ending soon. Ziggler revealed on Twitter that the show is ending because WWE's 1 year contract with YouTube is up. WWE likely will be renewing that contract with new shows that they polled fans on this weekend. Ziggler tweeted about his finale:
"#AskTheHEEL is OVER! writing the last download, 'shooting' tomorrow, it airs NEXT WEEK! ROASTING THE @WWE"
- Regarding the potential YouTube shows WWE polled fans on that we posted about earlier, PWInsider reports that every single one of the ideas had been discussed for potential WWE Network shows.

Actor Johnny Messner is Brandi Glanville's boyfriend, and let me tell you, she's hoping it makes Eddie Cibrian jealous. Get the story here, along with photos and video.
Everybody knows the story by now: Eddie Cibrian supposedly left his wife Brandi for LeAnn Rimes. They did it Brangelina style—another more desirable partner comes along, and BOOM—he was out of there. This had to leave Brandi with a bitter taste in her mouth.
So what's a scorned woman to do? Well, find a hunky new man to parade around with, of course. That new man is Johnny Messner, a relatively unknown actor who has only had a few minor TV roles to speak of.
His status on the lower echelon of Hollywood hasn't stopped Brandi from trying to rub it in to her estranged hubby Eddie. P-Nasty wrote today that she has been bragging to her friends that her new man is a beast in bed—even better than Eddie was.
I personally think Cibrian is wrecking CSI: Miami. His over polished style is not rough enough around the edges for that kind of show. It's the same problem I used to have with Delco's character. Those two don't capture the pulse of Miami at all; they're too 'Hollywood.'
With that said, it seems to me that Brandi has traded up. Ending up with a tougher guy who usually lands action roles is probably a welcome change from Eddie's squeaky-clean, soap-opera looks. After all, deep down every girl wants a bad boy.
If only we could arrange a celebrity boxing match between these two. Now that would be good television.
Who do you think is the better choice of Glanville? Give us your thoughts in the comments section.
Check out some photos and video of Johnny Messner, Brandi Glanville's boyfriend below.

After a little planning and a lot of sweating buckets in the summer sun (that's right, we worked right through the day when temps in our Texas backyard hit 102 degrees—with lots of water breaks), my husband and I wound up with these awesome pathways for our raised bed gardens. They're even lined with cedar mulch that was responsibly sourced right here in our state. The paths make our raised veg beds much more inviting and cohesive—it's even better to walk out there in the early morning to check on the plants and harvest tomatoes.
It was time to start thinking about our fall garden, so we were able to trim back some of our tuckered-out tomato plants and ready the bed for a crop of fall squash (which we hope won't succumb to the same vine borers we battled earlier this season).
We also made sure to become more water-efficient, adding soaker hoses (which ran us between $7 and $11 bucks a pop) to each of our beds and coming up with a watering schedule that will save us gallons and moolah in the long run.
This is the first phase of our backyard makeover. Plans for a patio, our own Unwaste Station compost bin, and even more gardening space are in the works! What do you think? Have any tips or suggestions for our backyard space?

With aching shins and numb toes we zigzagged down from the summit at Haut Fleury with hope in our hearts; hope that Jean de la Pipe would be open for late lunch, and that it would live up to the images of warmth and restdom that the locals had so vividly conjured up the night before! What a relief therefore when our skis kindly deposited us outside the front door! We decided to bystep the happy vinchaud drinkers on the sun-filled terrace and snuggle up by the ginormous wood-burning fire that dominates the cosy interior. We feasted on beautiful copious slabs of cote de boeuf cooked over the fire that crackled away next to our table, and moved our heads in sync as huge platters of local Savoie meats were delivered to neighbouring diners! Needless to say that two hours later, the next port of call was a hot bath in the chalet rather than another ascent to the icy summit!

Apart form the bottle being like Jennifer Lopez where the light brings out its true beauty; the fragrance is an excellent combination for a masculine alluring male. J. Lopez should consider an intense version of the "Deseo" that would linger at least for 10 hours as it also is an excellent fragrance for the office where I work dealing with clients for the full eight (8) hour workday. However, I would most likely buy this fragrance again as I like the smell an its presentation (the 3.4oz bottle).

NU-Wrigley pact could throw some Evanston businesses for a loss
Tina Steinbrech (left) of Iowa City and Lisa Arado of Chicago, joke around joke around while tailgating before the start of the Iowa-Northwestern game at Ryan Field in November, 2013. The university's pact to move some home games to Wrigley Field in co
Updated: March 8, 2013 7:25AM
EVANSTON — Northwestern University may have scored a touchdown with its Chicago-area Big Ten fan base, announcing Tuesday that the school and the Chicago Cubs have agreed to a five-year deal to use Wrigley Field for some home football games.
At the same time, don't expect some Evanston business people and officials to break out their Purple jerseys and cheer "Sis, boom, bah!"
The university's pact, starting this year, will throw a number of businesses and enterprises – including restaurants and the hospitality industry – for a loss on football Saturdays.
"It, the business community is going to take a hit," said Dick Peach, newly elected president of the Evanston Chamber of Commerce.
"We supported the university and sports department in this community for 100 some years when they were the doormat," Peach said. "Now they've got support and won a few games and forgot who got them to the dance."
He stressed that he was expressing a personal opinion because he hasn't had time to run the issue before the chamber board.
Games in which opponents travel well with a large entourage – particularly the Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan and even Nebraska games later in the year – are a boon to the economy, he said.
"You're taking the lifeblood out of us for those weekends – the restaurants, the bars," Peach said, and Evanston won't be the only one to feel the effect.
He said the last time some friends visited Hackney's in Glenview on a football Saturday, "they couldn't get in the door because of the Nebraska people. It was a sea of red and white. You drive by the Doubletree (Hotel) in Skokie. They're sticking out of those hotels. The team bus, the band, everybody else, they've got to go some place."
The city assesses an athletic contest tax that is projected to generate $760,000 in revenue this budget year.
The tax has been trending up in recent years, Evanston City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz said.
One less game in Evanston, translates to one less game of athletic tax that is collected, he said, and beyond that tax, he said, "there is a multiplier effect," impacting a wide range of businesses.
The 178 rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn, 1818 Maple Ave., are full on the busiest football days, said Barbara Klein, sales director.
For certain games, fans want to stay close. A shuttle stops in front of the hotel's doors to take fans to Ryan Field. However, the hotel might not lose as much with the move to Wrigley because of its close proximity to the pubilc transportation, she said.
"You can't say it's a bad thing. It creates market buzz," Klein said. At the same time, she added, "Don't take it (to Wrigley) on one of my big games. You want to keep tax dollars in Evanston."
Russ Abell, general manager of the 266-room Hilton Orrington/Evanston, said he saw both sides of the picture.
Once conference play starts, "all the hotels and restaurants are packed. The football games are important, especially to the overall business mix.
"On the positive side, I think the more (Athletic Director) Jim Phillips and Coach Fitz (Pat Fitzgerald) can raise the overall profile of NU, the more it raises the profile of Evanston and I think that makes life better for all of us."
Although the pact was long rumored, local officials, including the city, reportedly didn't hear about the agreement until the news broke.
Peach said the university might have showed more sensitivity to the issue. He could foresee officials talking about which games might be considered for Wrigley and which would stay in Evanston.
Members of the City Council have adopted a close working relationship with the university, most recently granting NU's request to build a more than 400-space parking garage and visitor's center close to Evanston's lakefront.

I think you're missing out on part of the experience if you leap ahead in a game series. Sticking with a series as it evolves makes the steps backward much more frustrating, and the advancements quite a bit more satisfying.
Mass Effect 2 was a great game in it's own right, yet would the newcomer to the series really appreciate the amount of improvements Bioware implemented from Mass Effect 1 to 2? To give one example, for me personally, trudging through the Mako throughout several frustrating levels in Mass Effect 1 made me that much more appreciative that Bioware cut it for the sequel. So, in that one instance, I'd say I got slightly more out of Mass Effect 2 than someone who hadn't played the first game.

Our dishes had been coming out cloudy and disgusting looking. The dishwasher powder has made everything shiny and clear. The fact that it is safe for the environment is a big plus, too! I have already become a repeat customer after just a week! Alicia - Pittsburgh, PA Once again my husband and I have been delighted and impressed with the quality and performance of your products. Each time I place a new order, I add a product that I haven't tried before. So far I've loved every product and will continue to reorder each of them. This time I tried the Powdered Dishwasher Detergent and it has again surpassed my expectations!! I have tried natural detergents in the past and none of them has worked, but we were amazed at the performance of yours. We could see a significant difference in our dishes after the first wash. I am so excited that I'm disposing of the full bottle of the product I've used for years. It's a well known brand and it's full of chlorine and other chemicals, which has always bothered me. Thank you again for your great products! A loyal customer - Laura - San Jose CA I have been shopping through Tropical Traditions since Jan. 2005 and have found them to be an outstanding company in every aspect of their business. They are prompt to respond to questions or to rectify any errors and it is always done with respect and kindness. Their products are excellent and I am able to purchase many of the same organic products at a better price than I can purchase them at the store, and I save the time and money of driving to the store. They also offer excellent products of their own that can't be purchased locally. I promise you will not be disappointed. They are tops in my book! Shirley - Delaware, OH

Subject: Update on Baby Emma

This was a posting from Shelly earlier today. I do know that Riley did go home even though she was also diagnosed with RSV. Thank you for your prayers!!

Update: Emma is doing better. She is starting to cry and fuss. They are going to turn down her oxygen today. Hopefully she will be moved out of PICU tomorrow and to a regular floor. Her twin, Riley is on her way to Children's hospital ER to be evaluated. She was more fussy last night and her cough is getting worse. She has been getting breathing treatments at home for the last several days. But it is time to be reevaluated as Mommy, Shelly Stambaugh Alt doesn't want to go through this again. Our prayers are being heard, so keep them coming!
