Recording Magazine 05/2011
Paul Vnuk Jr.: "Sonically the alpha is in the ultra clear hi-fi category; it adds control without altering your sound. This thing does 'subtle' so well it's scary. It's the kind of compressor where you're not sure what it's doing until you bypass it... and then you realize it's doing a lot, beautifully, without being heavy-handed."

Mario Lämmerhirt: "I can recommend the alpha compressor to everyone who is looking to spice up their finished mixes or who is in need of an 'inaudible' dynamic toolbox. The alpha is a very good choice for the final tuning in mastering, especially because of its very transparent sound. You get a very versatile tool for influencing the dynamics of a track without changing its sound at all."

Guitar Lounge 03/2011
Ludvig Nylund: "From all the compressors I've tried so far it's one of the most flexible units without having a overly advanced and complex user interface to deal with. It's easy to get it good sounding on almost everything, probably because it's so transparent yet has the option of adding a little color when need with the push of a button."

Vera Schuhmacher: "elysia have managed to create a premium and very detailed emulation of their hardware flagship. Just like its analog archetype, the virtual compressor provides convincing results in many different applications. Besides its noteworthy open and clear sound, the plug-in surprises by its great flexibility and versatility as well as its beautiful and easy to operate user interface. A true milestone!"

Andreas Eberhardt: "I am tossing pretty much all of my other compressor plugins into the trash! With the alpha compressor, elysia has created a plugin that does such a great job at a pretty low CPU load that it is pretty hard to believe. No matter if used for mastering or single tracks: the alpha compressor satisfies. It is astounding that a 'program' can sound this good."

DV Magazine 02/2011
Daniel Sherratt: "It's been impossible to find any fault with these plugins as their heritage is arguably one of the finest in the industry. I know we're spoiled for choice at them moment in terms of software compressors, but they really stand apart from the usual roster of vintage 'clones', are so versatile and its very refreshing to see something truly different and groundbreaking come along."

Recording.de 05/2011
Alexander Mann: "elysia's cooperation with Brainworx has resulted in a good and versatile compressor which cuts a fine figure both in everyday as well as mastering applications. It clearly stands above the crowd of maximizer tools and proves to be a useful and reliable precision instrument. I am giving a clear buying recommendation for it."

Bryan Adams: "I don't even need to summarize this review. The audio files speak for themselves here. Did this plug-in accomplish the task at hand in acting like it's analog brother? Well in my opinion it definitely did!"

This is what enthused users told us in emails or wrote on the Internet:
After a lot of testing, I finally understand what is going on with this so called 'plugin'. In a secret building, elysia has a lot of alpha compressors and a lot of people sitting behind a compressor. Every time somebody loads an instance of the alpha compressor plugin, the 'plugin' is routing your audio realtime to this building, where elysia employees are routing the audio through an alpha with the exact same setting as you have on your computer screen. Then, the output is routed back to your 'plugin'. It sounds weird.. but this is the truth.
- Marando
I must say wooow what a plugin... makes me wish I really had a chance to try the real unit... I still want the real hardware now more than ever... I must say I never wanted to purchase something so fast before :) Now where can I get the money for the hardware unit?
- Allen Hunnie
After a few mixing-mania-nights all I can say is – dude, this plugin rocks!
- Markus Steinhäuser
I don't post much anymore but it is my slut duty to say that this is my favorite software comp by a wide margin..... This thing has a very strong hardware character I.E. none of the plastic I normally hear in plugins. Wow! Great job.
- nomatic
I tried the demo version on my Pyramix system and now I have to say that this is exactly what I had been looking for: Clean compression for acoustic productions with integrated parallel compression, which has never been this easy to use before. On top of this, I find that plugins never sound really transparent – signals always seem to be degraded and more dull after processing. Your plugin is an amazing exception, as it controls absolutely clean, precise and versatile, even providing additional color nuances with its Warm function and the Soft Clip Limiter. It works on single tracks, subgroups or the sum. So now you know.
- Frank Stefan Kimmel
I released my band's debut album on Monday after having done the final mastering with the elysia alpha plugin during the weekend. It was wonderful to be able to use this compressor in unlinked M/S mode, Auto Fast does wonders and I was surprised at how effective just a touch of the Niveau Filter could be to homogenize different songs. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
- Geert Bevin
I've only scratched the surface but the compression sounds really musical... the way it can punch the transients... and with the soft clipper you can get maybe 2db extra in level without much degradation... I generally feel a bit paranoid these days using plugin compression but for just a touch during mastering this could be the ticket...
I'd like to express my gratitude for your brilliant and creative tools, which are on a level which finally lets me create 'sound' with. Even for old school mixers like me who have been learning their skills in the analog domain (I have been doing this for 23 years now) – mixing in the box just now became fun, and it's possible to reach the sound quality of 'the old days' or even go beyond!
- Jörg Mayr
It's indeed a great plugin. If the plugin reaches even the 80% of the sound of the hardware processor we have really a new excellent kid on the block. It can sound transparent, it can blend together things in the mastering process. It can even go very loud! The Niveau Filter and the m/s processing are a great value add.
- Fradoca
IMO this is one of the best non-colored compressor plugs out there if not the best! elysia and Brainworx deliver yet again another winner! Must. Buy. Now.
- Aris Archontis
Today the probably most ultimate mastering compressor in the universe has been released in software: the alpha compressor by elysia!! These guys have done another great job on this one after the surprising release of the creative compressor, the mpressor. This thing sounds divine...
- Patrik Schwitter
OK been testing it all day long, and I must say...WOW, blows my mind really! The way the bass stays deep and strong (even below 30hz), the medium gets open, and the nice 'Air' feeling you get with this thing is simply amazing. It sounds as good as some real hardware compressor... even more than that you get this 'expensive' feeling of a very well built piece of gear really, making reverbs sound real on the overall mix for example... I think that's the very first time I get this Wow-Factor out of a plugin.
- The unik
Hell yeah that compressor sounds great! Tested it again on the master, and it glues the mix like no other comp, and is very good at keeping the punch of the kick and snare 'intact'. Added to that, combining Auto Fast with Warm Mode and just a subtle use of Soft Clip makes things fuller in a nice way.
- K-Slash
Another vote for THEE best glue/buss comp plug so far!!! To think what the hardware must sound like is pretty damn scary!!!
- spectacular g
Hooolly mother hoooooooooolly!! My ears can't simply believe how this thing can GLUE your mix nicely and bring that 'punch in your face' without changing the essence of the overall mix nor the sound. Daaaaaaaaaaaamn it!!!
- Solar
I made quite a lot of comparisons with other software compressors under different circumstances and my view is the following: The alpha is by far the best mixbuss compressor out there, especially when you apply some 80% wet instead of 100% (that mix button is just awesome, all compressors should have it).
- Fantomen
The 'feed forward' and 'warm' options can really help you dial in a sound on instruments. There is a lot of tonal variation possible with this thing. And though I've only briefly tried the mastering version, it has an amazing sound on the 2 buss (where I usually use compression sparingly if at all). What puts it on a different level IMHO is the basic CLARITY. In that sense, it's head and shoulders above other compressors I've heard.
- MarsBot
This compressor actually sounds brilliant. I bet the HW is off the Richter.
- Surbitone
I've tried the alpha compressor plugin on 2 of my mixes so far and I have to say it sounds incredible, especially the Soft Clip option helps a lot before a digital limiter. Keep up the good work.
- Gertjan Haaijer
I'm absolutely loving the alpha comp plugin! M/S is great, and the sound is smooth and yet the transients are protected by the Mix feature. Loving it!
- Jason Barratt-Hill
mpressor and alpha are by far the best plug-ins I know of. Using them is so much fun... thanks a lot and keep up the good work!!!
- Phillip Schulz
I have been demoing the alpha a bit, and I think it is a wonderful tool. I never experienced anything like it. In chain with the Brainworx Digital v2, it actually makes me able to do a serious mastering job. That was not an obvious option before, I tell you...

Project on Southern Stretch of Kiwanis Ave. Encroaches onto 49th Street
Construction has begun along South Kiwanis Avenue which has also led to lane closures on 49th Street.
The outside westbound lane of 49th Street between Elmwood Avenue and the Big Sioux River Bridge will be closed to allow construction crews to perform street repairs. The center turn lane of Kiwanis Avenue from 49th Street to 41st Street will also be closed to allow construction crews to perform street repairs.
The meat of the project begins on the southern end of Kiwanis Avenue as the street will be slightly wider with new curb installed.
This work is expected to be completed in approximately two weeks. Two-way traffic will be maintained and channeled around the work area. Expect delays as equipment, workers and traffic will be in a very tight space.

LOS ANGELES — Two former South El Monte High School student- athletes are suing the El Monte Union High School District in connection with a senior tug-of-war event that caused them to each have several fingers severed.
The students, senior football player Pablo Ocegueda and senior soccer player Edith Rodriguez, were taking part in Spirit Week activity during lunch to celebrate homecoming on Feb. 4, 2013, when their fingers were torn off by the rope they were holding, the suit states.
They filed their lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that the incident would not have happened had school officials properly supervised the event. They are seeking unspecified damages.
El Monte school district Supt. Nick Salerno issued a statement today through his executive secretary, Melisa Carrillo.
"The issue is pending litigation and Mr. Salerno is unable to comment at this time," Carrillo said.
The rope was tied with a slip knot that created a loop near the middle, the suit states.
Ocegueda and Rodriguez were allowed to grab the knot "in clear sight of teachers and faculty members who were supposed to be supervising the event and keeping the students safe," the complaint states. "They were allowed to place their hands in grave danger without any interference by any faculty member."
After the tug-of-war began the knot slipped and pulled the plaintiffs' hands into it, causing their injuries, according to the lawsuit.
The district also had no general plan for monitoring students involved in the tug-of-war, the suit states.
Students the ages of Ocegueda and Rodriguez often have a "herd instinct" and "competitive spirit" that causes them to relax their vigilance in a way that more mature persons would not, the suit states.
Media reports at the time stated that both students underwent surgery to try to reattach the fingers.

MOSCOW — Russia's Foreign Ministry is asking the government to suspend adoptions of Russian children by U.S. nationals following an "incessant string of crimes" allegedly committed by American adoptive parents.
Russian authorities say that at least 17 Russian children have died in domestic violence incidents in their American families.
The Ministry said Saturday that the adoptions should resume only after Moscow and Washington sign an accord that allows Russian monitors to visit the homes of adopted children.
A Pennsylvanian couple was convicted in November of the involuntary manslaughter of their son adopted from Russia.
In 2010, a Tennessee woman sent her allegedly violent adopted son on a plane back to Russia — unaccompanied by an adult.
U.S. citizens have adopted nearly 50,000 Russian children since the early 1990s.

FBI Director Robert Mueller, who is facing questions over why the Obama administration was not told before the election about the investigation of former CIA director and Gen. David Petraeus, was at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday briefing some lawmakers on the matter.
Mueller and his entourage left the building shortly before 2 p.m.
The FBI has been involved in two investigations that since have brought scrutiny on the agency itself. One of those was the extramarital affair between Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell. The other is tied to communications between Gen. John Allen, the lead commander in Afghanistan, and a Tampa-area woman linked to the Petraeus matter.
Exactly whom in Congress Mueller was briefing on Wednesday could not immediately be determined.
On Tuesday, Michael Morell, the acting director of the CIA, had been at Capitol, where he also briefed some members, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's offices.

So why isn't Jimmy Howard receiving any credit for his play?
Last week, Puck Daddy posted an article asking "Who are the top 5 goalies in the NHL?" Usually, I read Greg Wyshinski's articles with a great deal of admiration, perhaps to the point of being star struck. Today, I was floored to discover his list, although very fair with his assessment of each goaltender on his list, completely bypassed Jimmy Howard.
As I collected my jaw I pondered the reasoning. Why would Jimmy Howard not crack his list? Admittedly, he does state that Howard is "right there" in terms of being close to the list. However, this just isn't good enough. While others within the Detroit Red Wings blogosphere have already weighed in on how they feel about Wysh snubbing Jimmy Howard, I figured I could take the time to give my two cents on the matter.
Jimmy Howard should definitely be on this list, if only because he is statistically superior to some of the choices.
I can agree that Tim Thomas is the height of the position today. A Conn Smythe Trophy, a Vezina, arguably a Hart Trophy caliber season a year ago, and doing it all in his mid 30s when older goaltenders usually find themselves backing up a younger goalie. Tim Thomas is a phenomenal specimen. He's untouchable on this list. I would be remiss, however, if I didn't point out that as of today Jimmy Howard has more wins, a better goals against average, and is tied with Thomas in shutouts. Just saying. As for Henrik Lundquist, Pekka Rinne, and Jonathan Quick, they are all great goaltenders who have had great regular seasons but are no better, if not worse, in the playoffs than Jimmy Howard.
You can see how Jimmy stacks up against other goaltenders here. What you will soon discover is that Jimmy Howard is definitely a top five goaltender of the year thus far based on his performance. As of today, Howard leads the league in wins, is second in goals against average, is ninth in save percentage, and is tied for second with three shutouts. After last year's relatively disappointing season, it looks like Jimmy Howard has his mojo back.
So why the snub? Where's the recognition? Why no All-Star Game recognition?
Jimmy Howard isn't even on the ballot. He's a write-in candidate, which almost certainly secures the fact that he won't make it there regardless of his on ice success. As of week two of the voting, Howard is behind thirteen other goaltenders in the voting. Given that he is 1st, 2nd, 9th, and 2nd in the big four goaltending statistics, I think it's pretty obvious he isn't getting what he deserves at the polls.
The All-Star Game doesn't (and shouldn't) carry much weight in terms of players' season-long achievement, but it is nice to see players performing well receive the proper accolades. Still, it's stuck in my craw and similar to the Chris Osgood Hockey Hall of Fame debate, I'm not going to let it go until I've had a chance to make my case.
I can accept that Howard probably isn't going to get credit where credit is due to him. Red Wings fans should be used to their goaltenders receiving the snub. Just ask alumni Chris Osgood. Or rather, you can read the endless parade of ill-formed arguments against Ozzy getting the kudos for winning 400 games, two Stanley Cups a decade apart (only one other goaltender has done this) and a playoff record that would surprise you.
Is Jimmy Howard next in line to receive the "Osgood" treatment from NHL-related media?
To be fair, this is a lot of pressure to place on Jimmy Howard. He has performed well (for the most part) in his three seasons as Detroit's starting goaltender, registering 37 wins, 37 wins, and 15 thus far. His playoff record sits at 12-11, which leaves a bit to be desired, but his individual statistics like save percentage are very strong. Similarly to Osgood, one could argue that Howard excels on a team that are perpetual winners in the regular season. Manny Legace, a good goaltender who has suffered the misfortune of playing on some bad teams after Detroit, registered a healthy 38-7 record in 2005-06 only for Detroit to get bounced in six games against the Oilers in the playoffs. This is where the argument gets stronger for all three goaltenders.
It's not necessarily Osgood's fault Detroit went home early in a number of seasons where they should have won it all. Other goaltenders came and went and suffered the same results regardless of regular season success. All credit is due to the Oilers and the Ducks who defeated the Red Wings over the years, to be clear, but there seems to be a double standard employed when it comes to discussing Detroit Red Wings goaltenders.
When Detroit wins in the regular season and goaltenders like Osgood, Legace, and now Howard perform well, it's because the team performs well. When Detroit loses in the playoffs, the first player to be blamed is often the goaltender.
Howard's playoff numbers are strong enough that in today's social media and blogging circles this argument can't be employed without some jaw-dropping or eye-rolling. Osgood, on the other hand, will forever be remembered by the delusional as being "that guy who gave up ugly goals that cost Detroit Stanley Cups". One wonders how the memories of decade-old mistakes somehow override the performances of the painfully recent 2008 and 2009 playoff runs.
Is it the curse of being a Detroit Red Wings starting goaltender that credit shall not be granted? There's plenty of evidence to make one argue this point. I recognize that this article would be cannon fodder for those who would damn Red Wings fans as being "entitled" and "arrogant", but to those I ask for reason and to put aside the personal grudges. I don't believe any Red Wing should be rewarded for being a Red Wing. Heck, if you look at who wins the individual awards year in and year out in the NHL, Red Wings represent a minority of winners, and that number will surely decline when Nick Lidstrom retires, if he ever does. All I ask for is for the hockey blogosphere to pull it's collective head out of the sand and acknowledge a superstar for being a superstar.

In the upcoming Wisconsin primary, billed as perhaps the final opportunity to change the trajectory of the Republican presidential contest, frontrunner Mitt Romney leads Rick Santorum by seven percentage points, according to a new NBC News/Marist poll. But should he capture the nomination, Romney would start out as the underdog against President Barack Obama, whom Romney trails by double digits.
Frederic J. Brown / AFP - Getty Images
Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney speaks during an event at NuVasive, a maker of devices intended to improve spinal care, in San Diego on March 26, 2012 in California.
In Wisconsin's April 3 Republican contest, the former Massachusetts governor gets support from 40 percent of likely primary voters, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a particular candidate. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum gets 33 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul gets 11 percent, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich gets 8 percent. Seven percent of respondents are undecided.
The poll – conducted March 26-27 – is consistent with the findings of a recent Marquette Law School survey, which found Romney leading Santorum by eight points. The Wisconsin race follows a familiar pattern: Romney holds the advantage over Santorum among liberal and moderate Republicans (43 percent to 24 percent), conservatives (42 percent to 33 percent), non-Tea Party supporters (42 percent to 31 percent), and those who earn $75,000 or more annually (47 percent to 32 percent).
Meanwhile, Santorum leads among very conservative primary voters (42 percent to 33 percent), strong Tea Party supporters (40 percent to 32 percent), and evangelical Christians (40 percent to 29 percent).
So far in all the GOP contests where there has been exit polling, Romney has won in every contest where evangelical voters have accounted for less than 50 percent of the electorate. And he has lost in every contest where that number has been higher than 50 percent.
The evangelical percentage among likely Wisconsin GOP primary voters, according to the NBC/Marist poll: 41 percent.
Obama leads in the general election
Looking ahead to the general election, the survey shows Obama holding a sizable advantage over his Republican opposition in this battleground state, which he carried in 2008 but where Republicans made big gains in the 2010 midterms.
Obama leads Romney in Wisconsin among registered voters, 52 percent to 35 percent, with 13 percent undecided. And he edges Santorum, 51 percent to 38 percent, with 11 percent undecided. The poll suggests, however, that both Romney and Santorum would have room to grow in the general election, given that a substantial portion of the undecided vote leans Republican.
Benefiting Obama is growing optimism about the state of the economy (52 percent believe the worst is behind them), as well as a more negative perception of the Republican Party (48 percent say the Democratic Party does a better job in appealing to those who aren't hard-core supporters, while just 32 percent say that about the GOP).
What's more, there's a significant gender gap: Obama leads Romney among women by 25 points (55 percent to 30 percent) and men by 12 points (50 percent to 38 percent). The president's job-approval rating in Wisconsin stands at 50 percent.
Divided over the recall
As for the recall contest of Republican Gov. Scott Walker, 46 percent of Wisconsin voters say they will support him in that race, while 48 percent indicate they'll vote for the eventual Democratic candidate who will face off against the incumbent governor.
The approval rating for Walker – who sparked a firestorm of criticism in his effort to curb collective-bargaining rights for the state's public-sector workers – sits at 48 percent approval, 48 percent disapproval. According to the poll, a majority of likely Republican voters say they're following the recall more closely than the GOP presidential primary race, 51 percent to 37 percent.
The NBC/Marist poll of Wisconsin was conducted March 26-27 of 2,792 registered voters (with a margin of error of plus-minus 1.9 percentage points) and of 740 likely Republican primary voters (plus-minus 3.6 percentage points).


text: Okay, so part of Toshiba's TV presentation at their press conference was this list of "trends for 2008." Two caught our eye: "1080p is the new 720p!" and "120Hz is the new 1080p!" Wait, what? It's obvious the former is something of a guiding philosophy, since the RV530 crams 1080p into 32- and 37-inch LCD sets. Fantastic! Except that, you know, 1080p is completely pointless at the size, unless you're using the sucker as a computer monitor. Nice try, Toshiba.

Hardworking Studs Need Anal Sex To Relax
Duration: 18m, 45s, Starring Venda Dinner, Zdeno Donny
These two hard working men need something to help them relax at the end of the day. They sit next to each other in the mess hall, their arms and shoulders touching and driving the tension in the room skyhigh. Soon they are kissing passionately and sucking each others' cocks with no condoms in sight - these guys love the taste of a dick! Things don't stop there, as after the hot oral and 69 action one guy pulls out a black dildo and begins to insert it into his buddy's anus. Once the sphincter is nice and loose he replaces the sex toy with his penis, thrusting it hard and deep until he is impaling his buddy anally right up to the balls.
Grateful Man Gives His Rescuer A Blowjob
Duration: 25m, 43s, Starring Marty Paschek, Milan Studdy
It's lucky for this young skier that a rescuer was on hand to pick him up when he injured his leg skiing! The mountaineer then takes the injured skier back to headquarters, easing him up onto the bed and inspecting his injury. The injured man is so grateful for being rescued that he decides to give the good-looking young stud a blow job! Of course, once you get a young man's dick hard he wants to go all the way, so the good looking rescuer bends the previously injured man over and makes him feel better with a hardcore dick in his ass! There's a look of real satisfaction on the rescuer's face as he sodomises this strapping hunk.
Sexy Young Hunks Have Some Slippery Anal
Duration: 17m, 59s, Starring George Severino, Tom Brown
After an afternoon of getting sweaty on the ski field, two young buddies go back to their room to relax on the bed. There's just something so sexy about seeing a muscular young man dressed in a jock strap - that cute white elastic holding the large package in place so firmly! Soon the guys are naked and licking each others' assholes and ball sacks, leading to some hardcore and slippery anal. One guy leans against the wall with his ass stuck out while his buddy rides his butter, pumping him as furiously as he can. The two studs ejaculate on each other at the end of the scene, drenching each other with their messy, creamy loads.
Duration: 19m, 11s, Starring Marek Horak, Peter Razim
After a hard day's work out on the snowy mountainside trying to rescue people, two hot young European hunks comes back to headquarters for a shower and to relax. It's been a stressful day and they need something to take their minds off the rigours of their work - some steamy cocksucking and anal sex will do just fine! They relax and begin kissing and then one guy goes down on the other, kicking off a hardcore bout of mutual oral sex. Then the initial cocksucker loosens up his own ass hole with a dildo, masturbating and fucking his own ass with the toy while he eyeballs his buddy. Once his ass hole is sufficiently loosened he gets sodomised.

I really wish that I could say that I came up with this drink.
I can't even take credit for finding it. Mr. Ginge did.
But the lovely waitress at Whiskey John's Bar and Grill who did come up with the recipe was more than happy to send Mr. Ginge home with the it.
Now, I'm not one to hype up a shooter. More often than not they end up being liquid heartburn. And highly expensive for two tablespoons worth of drink. But OH MY GOD this one is good. You need to go to your liquor store and get the stuff you need now. It's that good.
Apple Pie Shooter
makes 1 shooter, easily multiplied
- 1/2 oz sour green apple liqueur
- 1/2 oz butterscotch schnapps
- whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
- pinch of grated cinnamon
- In a shot glass, layer the sour green apple liqueur and the butterscotch schnapps
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream ( if desired) and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Send'er down the hatch.

Abandoned Ohio Mansion!
Abandoned Ohio Mansion!Ghosts might be afraid to go anywhere near Mike Tyson but it looks like something very scary happened at Tyson's former Ohio mansion. The home is complete with a spooky moss covered indoor swimming pool, a massive trashed living room, holes punched through walls, and rusty tiger cages. The boxer lived here for a period in the 1990's and it has sat abandoned ever since. Now on the market, possibly many of the problems have since been resolved, though the agent is clear about the buyer needing to return it to its former "luster". On a very private 60 acres of open and wooded land that adjoins a golf course, this almost 10,000sf property in rural Ohio has 5 bedrooms, 7.5 baths and large indoor pool. There is also a separate guard house with another 4-5 additional bedrooms. Grounds have paved walking paths, a basketball court, large decks and . . . large animal cages. We suggest a large Halloween party before renovations begin. No decorating will be involved. Priced at $1,300,000, tiger cages included.

RACINE, WI -- In order to focus more on the YWCA's mission to eliminate racism and empower women, the YWCA in Racine, WI, was closed earlier this month. The move takes the organization out of the health and fitness arena, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The YW's membership has consistently been falling, according to the newspaper. In 2000, it had 1,157 members. In 2007, that number was 400.
The YW's health promotional program had been losing money for many years, and there had been competition from for-profit fitness centers and the YMCA, Debbi Embry, former CEO of the YWCA of Racine, told the newspaper. Embry was let go Dec. 6 due to financial concerns. The organization is currently looking for a volunteer CEO.
The YWCA of the USA did not immediately respond to requests for further information.

The family of a student who committed suicide at Crescenta Valley High School earlier this year has filed a $2-million claim against Glendale Unified, alleging that school officials failed to protect him from "constant bullying."
Drew Ferraro, 15, climbed to the roof of a three-story building on the La Crescenta campus on Feb. 10 and leaped to his death in front of numerous students and staff.
Public safety officials have said that the teenager had a history of mental health problems. This assertion is supported by toxicology results that showed trace amounts of Citalopram, an anti-depressant, in Drew's blood stream at the time of his death.
His parents, John and Deana Ferraro, have confirmed their son was being treated for depression, but argue that bullying played a role in his death, something that is refuted by officials.
The $2-million claim filed this week cites "wrongful death" and "emotional distress."
"The facts haven't changed," said Jason Lieber, an attorney representing the Ferraro family. "Our position hasn't changed. The school was definitely at fault. They didn't take the proper steps in response to consistent bullying. They didn't take proper steps to respond to the kid's reaction to that bullying."
Laid out in the claim are specific charges against the district, including that Glendale Unified officials were aware that Drew was the victim of bullying but failed to prevent it, and that they failed to prevent and warn of a "potential suicide attempt." It also argues that the district did not take adequate steps to educate staff and students about bullying and ways to prevent it.
The district has 45 days to respond to the claim or to request an extension. If the claim is rejected, the family will sue, Lieber said.
Supt. Dick Sheehan said Friday that he had not yet reviewed the claim and declined to comment.
The suicide — complicated by the two conflicting stories about its cause — has been a painful chapter for the La Crescenta community.
Four notes found in Drew's backpack did not reference bullying, according to Los Angeles Sheriff's investigators. In a report accompanying autopsy results made public in May, the coroner investigator noted that there may have been warning signs.
"There was a report that he was thought to have been suicidal on the day before his death," according to the narrative. "His parents had been informed; however, [Drew] did not go home from school, and he had been attending school the day of his death."
John and Deana Ferraro have denied any knowledge that their son was suicidal. Lieber said this week that they dispute portions of the autopsy report, and that their primary focus is to prevent future, similar incidents.
"Drew's parents are really interested in the school district reforming their policies," Lieber said. "I can't articulate that enough.... Their primary goal here is to see this doesn't happen to anybody else."

No Shortcuts
To start off with, I love to eat good pastries. I'm a pie, danish and cinnamon roll person. I'm also very fond of muffins. I'm not very big on cake or frosting but lots of people ask me to make them for them.
I'm an advocate of No Shortcuts in baking. I think bakery items should come from fresh fruits, frozen works, but definitely not canned to fill a pastry. I want the pastries to be made fresh, not opened from a package and cakes, cookies and muffins should use high quality flours and sugars and real butter, etc. No artificial or imitation anything. I want to do away with all the chemicals and preservatives that come in anything you buy pre-made.
I hate to eat foods that are over processed or have preservatives and artificial ingredients in them. One day I started talking to owners of bakeries. I learned that they don't make their own puff pastry for danish pastries. They get them delivered from a supplier. And they get their fillings in cans, not from fresh fruit prepared by them. These are small bakeries that tell me they do this. I can taste it in their food.
It's easier than you think to make these fresh items and I'm going to share with you some of my ideas and processes on the whole matter. My goal is to take the scary part out of home baking, make it fun and easy.
While the focus is on healthy baking, the site will also cover other aspects of home cooking from scratch. The site will be a blog format with articles covering cooking techniques, recipes, hints and tricks. We're focused on the home cook that wants to get away from using pre-made stuff and get a bit messy trying some new things out it in the kitchen.
The primary reader will be adults and we will also be writing about how to include kids in the kitchen.
We are looking for a logo for our new website no-shortcuts.com.
It should be versatile so that it works in multiple sizes and mediums as we will build our brand around this logo and will be using it both on the web and in print.
The logo should be a clean design, not overly complicated or greatly detailed or too reliant on color. It should work in both color and black-and-white.
A clever icon that is not too cliché (chef's hat for example) will likely take the lead.
Some themes we want to represent in our content:
* healthy eating
* cooking and baking from scratch fun and easy
* fresh food, fresh ingredients
* locally made/grown ingredients
* delicious results
* accessible to kids
A font we particularly like is Scriptina Pro available from http://www.cheapprofonts.com. We're open to alternates.
Favorite color is purple but don't feel that it is necessary to include. We're open to your ideas as we haven't selected a color palette for the website.
The background of the logo should be transparent
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg, .png and layered .psd (RGB)
Browser icon - favicon.ico
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo and we do not want it to be cartoony.

By Hindustan Times
Actor Imran Khan, who is sharing celluloid space with Pankaj Kapoor for the first time in Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola, says working with the veteran actor can be unnerving. "Pankaj-ji is a fantastic actor, but working with him is very scary," Imran said here Saturday during a promotional event for his film.
"As soon as the director says 'action', he explodes as a bomb and the actor who is standing in front of him has to be ready to take whatever he is going to do, because if you are not ready, then the whole scene may get spoilt. So, you have to be alert and have to be on your toes. It is scary," he added.
In "Matru...", Imran and Pankaj will be seen playing the characters Matru and Mandola, respectively. The film, releasing Jan 11, also features actress Anushka Sharma.
Many relate Imran with the romantic avatar he has displayed on screen through films like "Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na", "I Hate Luv Storys" and "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu", but he says in real life, he isn't so at all.
"I am not romantic at all. I can't do this - buying gifts, giving roses and all that. I feel that if you are serious about a relationship, it is more than just that and all these things (gifting) is just for showing off," said Imran.
Post "Matru...", Imran will be seen in "Mumbai Talkies" and "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again".

Taza Chocolate
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Taza Stone Ground Chocolate Mexicano
Taza Chocolate makes their chocolate from bean to bar in Somerville, Mass. What sets them apart from the many other small batch chocolate makers that have sprung up in the last 10 years is that they stone grind their chocolate in the rustic, classic Mexican tradition. Taza sources their cacao through direct trade sources to assure quality and ethical practices.
They make a wide variety of products but the ones of most interest to me are the Mexicano Discs. They make 10 different varieties, but I got samples of two that I thought would represent the style best: Cacao Puro Chocolate Mexicano 70% and Taza Salted Almond Chocolate Mexicano. I also noticed recently that Trader Joe's has started carrying a strikingly similar set of chocolate discs, so I'll throw in some notes about that.
The Taza website describes the Taza Discs as Rustic, round dark chocolate discs with a distinctively gritty texture, some sweet, some savory, some spicy. The packages have two discs in them, 2.7 ounces total (1.35 ounces each).
The discs are either for eating straight from the package or making into a drink by mixing with a whisk (or molinillo if you want to be authentic) and some hot milk (or water).
The packaging is extremely simple. It's a printed, stiff parchment style paper that's folded around the chocolate and sealed on the bottom with a large sticky label.
The Cacao Puro Chocolate Mexicano 70% is organic, gluten free, soy free and dairy free plus Kosher and made with only two ingredients: organic cacao beans and organic cane sugar.
The process for making the chocolate is very simple. The roasted cacao is placed in the stone mills and ground, then ground a second time with the sugar added. As noted on their website, it's not a lot of processing, no conching and no emulsifiers are used. The chocolate is then tempered and molded into the discs.
(My photos for the Puro turned out poorly, so just imagine this Salted Almond is the Puro. It really looks the same, just a smidge darker.)
The look of the bars is a little dusty, less than glossy. The snap is solid, these are tough and dense bars. The melt is, well, not very smooth. It's described as rustic and rustic is what it is.
The overwhelming flavor note I had was green wood, it's a little like black tea, with other notes of lemon peel, raisins and a hint of figs and leather.
The texture is grainy, there are grains of sugar, which are interesting because they dissolve quickly. Then the is the grit of the large cacao particles. This gives the overall flavor of the chocolate a sort of variation, there are parts where the flavors might start as citrusy but then after chewing (yes, later because of the grit, there is more chewing than a really smooth dark chocolate might obligate me) some other flavors come out, like the tobacco and tea.
It was really looking forward to the Salted Almond Chocolate Mexicano.
The chocolate here is only 40% cacao, with a larger proportion of sugar plus the almonds and salt taking up the other 60%. I really expected the cross section of this one to look more rustic, with more bits of almond in there, but it's really well integrated.
It's quite sweet, the graininess is taken up with the sugary grains with a hint of salt. I didn't catch much from the almonds, except that they gave it a more creamy and mellow flavor that moderated the bitterness of the cacao better than the sugar. The chocolate flavors were also evened out, so I just got a sort of fudge brownie flavor from the whole thing.
I tried making a hot chocolate with this, since that's part of the appeal of the Mexican-style of rustic chocolate. I didn't put a lot of chocolate into it - about half of a disc for about 6 ounces of whole milk, I'll probably add more next time. It's best to use a whisk for this, all I had was a fork, so there was a lot of stirring (and a good thing that I didn't fill up the cup all the way). The flavor is much more nutty and the sugar dissolves completely. The grittiness of the cocoa part goes away (until you get to the sludge at the bottom which is then a mix of almond bits and cacao nibs, which is also great).
I prefer this as a hot drink to a bar for eating, but that's just me. It's a bit expensive and requires a lot more work than just dumping a powder into some hot water, but I appreciate good ingredients and can take that extra minute for the stirring. (And now that the weather is getting cooler, I need a sort of whisk that's ideal for one cup of chocolate.)
The final one I have notes on is the Trader Joe's special version, Organic Salt & Pepper. It has 54% cacao, so it's a bit darker than the Almond version. The only real difference between this disc set and the Taza branded ones is the fact that there are no little letters T A Z A on the molded sections.
It smells dark and peppery with some rum notes. The salt is much more forward than the Salted Almond. The gritty texture seemed to go well with the rustic flavors of salt and pepper and the grainy sugar. The cocoa flavors were a bit lost though did remind me of brownie batter. Of the three that I tried, this was my least favorite, but mostly because of the overall sandiness. The heat of the black pepper takes a while to warm up, but lends some nice tones.
The style of chocolate is interesting and definitely different from the standard fare and novelty chocolates these days. Really, I think this chocolate will shine as a drinking product, not for straight eating. But that's a personal preference. If you're looking for a chocolate that's easy to portion, made with vegan ingredients, that has no GMO ingredients, emulsifiers or gluten or added vanilla bean then this is a fantastic option.
Update 10/29/2012: Per the suggestions of readers that I should drink this as hot chocolate, I did just that with one tablet of the Salted Almond. I found it a little bland, but very rich. So for the remaining discs, I made chocolate pudding. The recipe was 1/4 cup of corn starch, 3 cups of milk and three discs (about 3.5 ounces) of chopped chocolate. I warmed the mixture on the stove over low heat while I used a whisk to completely incorporate the corn starch, then as the chocolate melted to emulsify it. Then turned it up to medium heat, stirred constantly until it just started to thicken and boil. I added some vanilla extract (optional). It's very rich, not at all sweet.
For my mix I had one disc of Salted Almond and two of the Cacao Puro. I wasn't interested in the Salt & Pepper as pudding.

It's getting colder with each passing day, Winter's upon us after the sveltering summer heat, our food choices are greatly influenced by the weather and these days I find myself cooking up more soups, stews and ...warm apple pie!...and of course lovin every minute and bite of it!!.
Apples are in abundance here and the availability of so much good local produce is enough for me to dream up the best way to enjoy them, I made these pies in miniature form so each could have their individual pie with clotted cream or Ice cream as they wished.The shortcrust pastry is the easiest you can come across and very good to work with, I chanced upon the recipe at BBCgoodfood.com and it can be found here.
I baked the individual pastry cases in a muffin pan, so that I could have six at one go, the texture of the pastry is very tender, buttery and flaky, the filling is sweet apples doused in a buttery cinnamon syrup, the end result is truly warming, very decadent and rich, with a wonderful sticky crunch to it that comes with the addition of raisins and nuts.To make these mini apple pies you require-
- Shortcrust pastry- 1 recipe, (can be found here alongwith video pictorial).
- Apples-3
- Sugar-1/2 cup
- Butter-1 large knob
- Nuts-1/4 cup
- Raisins-1/4 cup
- Cinnamon-1/4 tsp
- Preserve of choice-2 tbsp (preferably peach)
Assemble shortcrust pastry first acc. to recipe, roll out into small rounds that fit into a muffin tray, make six of these and press down carefully into pan like in the below pic, dip a fork in flour and press down edges to give a neat look, bake till slightly golden, don't forget to reserve some dough for trimmings on top, keep aside.
To prepare filling-Peel and core apples, dice.In a heavy bottom sauce pan combine all the ingredients for the filling except preserve and add 1/2 cup water, cook on slow flame till apples are tender, about 15 minutes, and there's only a little thick sugar syrup left, keep aside.To assemble, brush the insides of all pastry cases with preserve this is required to prevent pastry from getting soggy, spoon in prepared filling and roll out reserved dough into strips, place in lattice shape on top, brush with egg wash and bake till golden at 180 C, in a pre heated oven, Serve warm dusted with castor sugar and more ground cinnamon.

Heartbreaking Video Of Autistic Boy Bullied By Teacher Outrages The Nation! [VIDEO]
The internet is filled with cute videos that will warm your heart and funny videos that will make you laugh until you cry. And then there is this video that will make you angry and make you cry.With anti bullying campaigns in just about every school these day , the last person you would expect to be doing the bullying is the teachers themselves. But that is just what happened at a Cherry Hill , New Jersey school.
In this video Stuart Chaifetz tells you that he knew something was wrong when his 10-year-old son Akian started acting out in school. Akian has autism, but had always been "sweet and non-violent." So when things took a turn, his dad said he wanted to find out why Akian was lashing out at teachers.
So to get to the bottom of things, Chaifetz wired up his son Akian and sent him to school. What you will hear in the video is portions of the six hours of audio he recorded that confirmed his worst fears.
What do you think should be done to the two teachers?

Collegiate Press Association Honors Wabash Journalistsby Patrick J. Smith '08 • April 2, 2007 Share:
The Bachelor took home nine awards from the Indiana Collegiate Press Association (ICPA) convention Saturday. The awards included first-place finishes in both the Best Special Issue and Best Sports Page categories. This strong performance is the first time in three years the Bachelor submitted entries for the competition.
Bachelor advisor Howard Hewitt was quick to praise the entire staff for the victories. "I think the nine awards are a real tribute to the entire staff. Most of our wins were staff awards or projects that included several contributors," he said. "Almost every school we compete against has some sort of journalism program, so to be competitive in an awards field against those schools should be very gratifying to every Bachelor staff member."
Hewitt accompanied staffers Patrick Smith '08, Rob Fenoglio '09, and Josh Harris '08 to the meeting. While at the convention, Bachelor writers attended discussions on journalistic ethics and narrative news writing, a keynote address by blogger and media critic Mike Glaser, and met students from other journalism programs.
The Bachelor competes in the Division III section. That section is for colleges with two thousand or fewer students. Many of the schools in that division have established journalism or communications courses or even programs. Wabash College does not offer any such courses, and the Bachelor is entirely student-run and student-managed.
The Bachelor's August 24th back-to-school issue took the top prize in the Best Special Issue category. "An amazing back-to-school issue, the first of its kind for this publication," the judge said of the August 24th issue. The Division III entries were judged by Ball State journalism faculty. "Personality profiles of faculty and students are engaging, and columns discuss issues relevant to the student body. From start to finish, the best in a competitive category."
The October 6th issue took third place in the Best Single Issue competition. In the Best Overall Design category, the September 7th issue took third place. Patrick Smith's column, "Football Bleeds Charity," won second place in the Best Opinion Column competition. The Bachelor took both second and third places in the Best Staff Editorial category, with "Tradition No Excuse To Give Up Control" and "Free Press Essential To Open Campus."
Aaron Parrish '08 took the first place spot in the Best Sports Page competition, with the August 24th issue. Bachelor Photographers Brock Johnson '07 and Steve Abbott '09 both took home second place finishes in the Best News Photo and Best Sports Photo categories respectively. Johnson's "Chapel Sing" and Abbott's "Hope Fades" received praise for being unique, unusual photos.
"The Bachelor has really had a long history of good photography. I was particularly pleased to see Brock Johnson and Steve Abbott do well in this year's contest," Hewitt said.
Hewitt views the victories as signs of good things to come. "With the group of guys we have moving into editor chairs next school year, I have little doubt we'll increase the haul next March at the ICPA's Terre Haute convention," he said.
The Wabash Commentary, the conservative student publication, also won awards at the ICPA convention. Brandon Stewart '08, who also made the trip, won third place in the Best News Story section of the News Magazines section for, "Morality of Education." In the Best Opinion Column, Josh Harris took first place for, "Cut the Hype: The Patriot Act and You," and Royce Gregerson '09 won third place for, "On the Religion of Intellectualism." The magazine as a whole won second place in the Best Cover Design category for the issue "One Nation."

Kelly Rowland Reps for TW Steel Watches in New Promo Video
What time is it? It's time for Kelly Rowland to show off her newest accessory line. The former Destiny's Child songbird has teamed up with watchmaker TW Steel to launch her own CEO Tech Special Edition timepieces.
K.Row appears in a promo video called "This Is My Time" touting her high-end watch collection and how her partnership with TW Steel CEO Jordy Cobelens evolved. "The collaboration was very organic. I was already a fan of TW Steel when I met Jordy and we started thinking about the collection," she said.
The watches comes with a big face with rose gold detailing, 56 stones and crocodile-printed wristbands. They come in two colorways, pink and blue, which are Rowland's favorite colors. "I absolutely love the face, and I love the fact that it's comfortable, it [doesn't] feel heavy," she explains in the video. "For me, it was having that dose of masculinity but putting my own feminine touch on it. It definitely made me feel stronger."
"I have a big smile on my face," she beams. "Everything has come together so beautifully, so incredibly stylish. This is my time."
The CEO Tech Special Edition watches are pricey at $1,295, but if you're interested in making a big statement on your wrist, you know what time it is. You can cop a timepiece at TWSteel.com.

How do I..maps and atlas?
Posted 31 December 2010 - 03:50 PM
and when I double click I get this message "please navigate to correct folder and select module"
The second message comes up for the atlas as well.
Does anyone know what to do to get these open?
Posted 31 December 2010 - 03:55 PM
In version 8.x, you navigate to where you store your Accordance files (modules, etc).
Accordance on Macintosh, iPhone, and iPad
Posted 31 December 2010 - 04:00 PM
I have never had much need for the maps or atlas but I have also never been able to get them open. Every time I single click on Maps in Resource Pallet I get this message..."to show maps for the first time, you must open at least one map background"
and when I double click I get this message "please navigate to correct folder and select module"
The second message comes up for the atlas as well.
Does anyone know what to do to get these open?
The maps in Accordance are an add-on (additional purchase), so if you haven't purchased them yet you will need to do so to use them: http://www.accordanc...Atlas 2.2 Group
I'd recommend the Graphics DVD, as it includes the Timeline, the Atlas and PhotoGuide 3: http://www.accordanc...id=Graphics DVD
Of course if you've already purchased them, then the steps already mentioned will work just fine.

Another option is to start with the Atlas Sampler for $20, to try out the Atlas functionality. If you don't use it much, that might suffice for you. If you find it to limiting, however, the price is credited toward a purchase of the full Atlas.
Does this sampler still exist? I cannot find it in the store. Sounds like it would be ideal for me, too.

The greatest of all cliches in Foodbloglandia is the entry that opens with an apology for not publishing a blog post in a long time. I won't do that. I will say that one reason I don't post as often on Food With Legs as I once did is that I've been lucky enough to find several other publications to publish my stuff (and pay me for it). Oh, and I wrote a cookbook and have been busy promoting it over the last few months.
There is a certain appeal to having one place where anyone who wants to find it can get to my writing. That's why I started this blog in the first place. With that in mind, here is the first weekly (maybe) collection of summaries and links to what I've written this week. (more…)

Q: I have leaves and muck on the bottom of my water garden. I was looking at your pond vacuums. Why is there such a difference in the price between the two models? Is either of them worth the money? – Vicki of California
A: The question really should be "how do you own a pond without owning a vacuum"? Would you put carpet in your house and not have a vacuum? Well, this may be a little extreme but there is some truth to the statement.
First, let consider why we need to vacuum our ponds:
As time passes by, our ponds accumulate "muck" from leaves, fish waste, uneaten fish food, lily pads,etc. This "muck" is very high in nutrients and a great food source for algae! Although we do suggest a complete cleanout each and every spring, this is sometimes not an option, especially every year. So having the ability to remove waste without removing all the water is a huge advantage. In general, you will only lose about 10-15% of your water after a complete vacuuming, which is just the right amount for a small water change to freshen up the pond.
Which vacuum is right for you?
The real decision when choosing between the Pond-O-Matic XL or the Pond-O-Vac III really only comes down to a couple of questions. How large your pond is and how often you will need to vacuum?
If you have a smaller pond (less then 300 sq. ft) then a Pond-O-Matic XL will be sufficient: The Pond-O-Matic XL features a automatic fill-and-drain system that senses when the vacuum basin is full and automatically shuts off, drains and then turns back on. You will get a good 30-45 seconds of cleaning time between each drain with the drain time approximately the same. So 45 seconds of cleaning could take you up to 90 seconds.
Larger ponds (over 300 sq. ft.) and ponds that receive an excessive amount of debris would be great candidates for the Pond-O-Vac III. The biggest advantage of this "Cadillac" of pond vacuums is its ability to drain a pump at the same time. This is a real time-saving operation because it does not have to stop and drain before continuing.
Other advantages of the Pond-O-Vac III:
- 5-year warranty compared to the 2-year warranty of the Pond-O-Matic XL.
- Clear vacuum extension for monitoring operation.
- Build in rack for to conveniently store and organize accessories.
- Build-in wheels for greater mobility.

Bowe Bergdahl Released – Thank God
Bowe Bergdahl is free and we are so happy to report it. President Obama made the statement this morning that Bowe is safe. In return for Bergdahl, the Taliban received the five gitmo detainees that they wanted.
The Bergdahl Family said, "We were so joyful and relieved when President Obama called us today to give us the news that Bowe is finally coming home! We cannot wait to wrap our arms around our only son. We want to thank Bowe's many supporters in Idaho, around the nation and around the world. We thank the Amir of Qatar for his efforts. And of course, we want to take this opportunity to thank all those in the many U.S. Government agencies who never gave up. Today, we are ecstatic!"
This is a great day for all of you that prayed for his return. We have kept Bowe and his family in our prayers daily and they have been answered. It was a privilege to walk 147 miles to raise awareness to his plight!
Thanks to everyone from the volunteers to President Obama!
Bowe's perseverance and courage are something that cannot be overlooked. To all who believed, please say a prayer to thank God for His great work today.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT water polo team won a pair of games over the weekend to secure a third-place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Northern Division Championship hosted by Harvard. The Cardinal and Grey downed the host Crimson, 7-5, in the opening round and followed that up with a win over Iona in the third-place contest on Sunday. Tech's lone loss was an 8-6 setback at the hands of eventual division champion, Brown.
MIT entered the tournament as the no. five seed and took on the fourth-seeded Crimson. Matt Chapa and Devin Lewis each tallied three goals and Columbus Leonard made seven saves to seal the win and advance to the winner's bracket for the rest of the weekend.
Later on Saturday, the Engineers squared off against Brown for the fourth time in their 2009 campaign. Just as in the previous three matchups, MIT battled to a hard-fought and closely contested loss. Three of the teams' contests have now been decided by two goals or less. Mark Artz had a team-high three scores while Lewis added a pair of markers. Leonard made eight saves in the losing effort.
With a win over Iona College on Sunday, MIT could clinch third place in the division along with the no. three seed in the CWPA Eastern Championship. Behind another solid effort in net from Leonard, along with four goals from John Preis and three more from Lewis, the Cardinal and Grey earned the 10-8 win. Artz, Rob Kalwarowsky and Nikola Otasevic also scored for the Cardinal and Grey.
The Engineers will now advance to the Eastern Championship for the third time in the last four years. The tournament, which will be hosted by MIT, begins on Friday, November 20. As the Northern Division's no. three seed, Tech will take on the second seed from the Southern Division on Friday at 4:00 p.m.

Snoop Dogg banned from Norway
Rapper SNOOP DOGG has been banned from entering Norway for two years after allegedly trying to smuggle marijuana into the country last month (Jun12).
The Gin and Juice hitmaker was stopped by officials at Kristiansand Airport in Kjevik, where he was allegedly caught carrying eight grams (0.28 ounces) of weed.
Snoop Dogg, a longtime advocator of the drug, was fined £1,243 at the time of the offence and was allowed entry into the country, where he had been booked to perform at the Hovefestivalen event.
However, Norwegian officials have since barred the star from returning.
The musician's lawyer reveals Snoop has no immediate plans to appeal the ruling, insisting he "can live with the decision".
