Clint Eastwood's estranged wife has filed for legal separation from the actor and director.
Dina Eastwood's lawyer Michael McClure filed the petition on her behalf in Monterey County Superior Court in California on Monday.
The reality TV star confirmed last month she and the "Dirty Harry" star had split after 17 years of marriage, but McClure declined to answer whether his client would eventually be seeking a divorce, reports Reuters.
Clint married the former TV news anchor in 1996, and they have one daughter together, 16-year-old Morgan.

Bruce Allen's skin remains as thick as ever.
Rest assured the signing of Larry Johnson and his checkered history won't be received well in Washington, but that didn't prevent the Redskins from signing him before he had a chance to visit Oakland.
As the senior assistant under Al Davis, Allen not only didn't care when the Raiders were criticized in the media. He almost seemed amused by it.
Johnson, provided the Raiders were truly interested in signing him, is a not a significant loss. He hasn't been the same back since carrying 416 times in the 2006 season.
Washington did have the right idea with regard to a contract. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, it was three years and $3.5 million with incentives that could bring it to $12 million. And it's doubtful much has been guaranteed.
Meanwhile, according to Philly.com, Justin Fargas will strike out in Philadelphia after not getting contract offers in Kansas City and Cleveland.
He's scheduled to be at the Commitment to Excellence awards dinner Saturday night, where he'll receive the honor along with tight end Zach Miller.
Fargas probably won't use the same line on the crowd that he did with Philadelphia media.
"I've had seven tough years in Oakland and I want to compete for a championship," Fargas said. "That's the expected here with the organization and the fans here."
Considering the Raiders recent history when spending big in free agency _ and they're far from alone in coming up empty _ their strategy is sound. Wait for prices to come down, then sign players for lower salaries and minimal bonus money.
Meanwhile, linebacker Jon Alston, who did not receive a qualifying offer from the Raiders and became a restricted free agent, has signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

* ReCycle Craft: Cardboard Box Puppet Theatre
"C" and I made this puppet theatre out of a box
recently. The perfect place to act out little plays
with our finger puppets!
Here's our basic set up, just a simple hole I cut in the box lid
for the stage opening.
It would be less floppy if I glued the boxes together in this "L" shape
but we kept it separate so it's easier to clean up and put away.
For the rainbow design, we just glued little
scrapbook paper squares
around the edges of the box.
For the curtain, I just strung some yarn between two buttons
(small holes poked in the side of the box with an x-acto knife)
The curtain is just some fabric with a simple pocket sewn for the yarn to run through.
To add some pizzazz to the theatre,
I made this little dry-erase board topper
so she can write the title of the play.
It's just a scrap of white cardboard,
cut into a semi-circle with
clear contact paper stuck to it,
glued to the front of the theatre (with glue gun)
We can use dry-erase markers to write
the name of the play on top.
Then it just wipes off when we're done!
A good way to practice our letters.
Time for the Ballerina show!
Time for The Three Little Pigs!
Remember these toilet paper tube finger puppets we made?
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!
The top can lay back down in the bottom of the box
so we can slide it on a bookshelf when it's time to clean up.
View from Backstage.
Then we were on to the
Three Little Kittens Who Lost their Mittens!
Happy Playing!

* Pink and Green Mama Art Studio Tour with Craftaholics Anonymous
Well hello there!
I'm over visiting at Craftaholics Anonymous today
as a guest blogger giving you a tour of my own playroom,
pink and green mama
Labels: Interview
* Guest Post: Art Studio Tour for Craftaholics Anonymous
Hi I'm MaryLea from Pink and Green Mama Blog and
today I'm so excited to be guest posting today for Linda
I consider myself to be a Craftaholic with a fully stocked
art studio full of an embarrassing amount of arts and craft supplies.
Our babysitter says this room is like a craft store--
I never know if I should say "thank you" or apologize!
Today, I'm going to give you all a little tour.
Today, I'm going to give you all a little tour.
My art studio space, is what is supposed to be the "formal living room" in our house,
it is one of the first rooms you see when you walk in the front door.
I call it "Mommy's Playroom."
I call it "Mommy's Playroom."
Our "formal dining room" is on the other side and it's our playroom.
I don't know about you but I needed an art studio and a playroom a lot more
than I needed formal living and dining rooms.
than I needed formal living and dining rooms.
Bonus -- these rooms actually get used daily!
We use this room for sewing, crafting, kid's art classes, painting,
and whatever else we can come up with!
My sewing nook consists of an old Ikea kitchen table
that I used as my desk in college and my new little Brother CS-6000i sewing machine
(a surprise Christmas gift from my sweet hubby and girls this year)
I've driven two Singer machines into the ground in the past 12 years --
probably because I sew everything I shouldn't including Tyvek, Cardboard,
Card Stock, Felt, and super thick (painted) art quilts in it!
The girls have their own Ikea easel-- it's seen lots of action in the past 8 years as well!
This vintage cabinet was a yard sale rescue
that has been a very handy kid's art supply cabinet.
I also keep my mini fabric bolts in there
(yards and fat quarters wrapped and pinned around acid free cardboard comic book boards)
Paint chip samples make great supply labels!
Don't mind the mess, this is where the magic happens!
Along the longest wall of the room I have two Ikea kitchen islands
for storage and workspace. They have super deep drawers
(packed full of supplies) and two deep shelves that hold boxes of
paint, tape, scrapbook paper, fabric, beads, paper cutters,
and big sheets of drawing and watercolor paper.
If you look carefully you'll see my own art work hanging on the walls
around the studio. The girls' work is on display in the rest of the house!
Here's a sneak peek inside one of the drawers with the essentials:
glitter glue, felt letters, Martha Stewart glitter dust, doilies, and liquid watercolors.
See how much stuff I can
cram store under there?!
(Shhh...I have canvases stacked behind the cabinets along the wall!)
The big table in the middle of the room is also from Ikea-
I think it's supposed to be a desk.
It's great to cover with brown contractor's paper and use for messy projects.
I also put my fabric cutting mat on there and spread out when I'm sewing.
I have a second (ugly) fold-up table the same size
I use when we're having classes or a party and need more room
(see the above photo - it's older and things have moved around a bit since it was taken)
It's the same table I use for garage sales.
Stools for the table(s) are still on my wish list.
I like to sort and organize our art supplies in spectrums,
so you'll find lots of rainbows around the room.
Felt stacks, masking tape, fabric mini bolts, paper, and markers.
Makes me smile!
My grandmother gave me her loom last year.
We shipped it from Colorado in a gigantic box.
The leather cords are rotten so one of my (MAJOR!) summer projects is to
"restring" the loom with my hubby.
Can't wait to actually use it and make stuff.
I'm in the process of painting that little bench next to it right now.
She sent me all of her awesome wool yarn spools too!
Thanks grandma : )
Here's the room looking at it from the Ikea island's wall.
See the fireplace hiding behind the big basket trunk?
It doesn't work right now and I've got it sealed up with that
shrink-wrap film you put on windows in the winter -- classy, I know.
To the right of the fireplace is our electric piano for "E"s lessons
(covered in a quilt so the cat won't barf on it ---AGAIN)
On the mantel, I have some little inspirational treasures:
Two of my African Zulu baskets,
Framed vintage butterfly tabacco cards I bought in Leesburg, VA,
Hand blown glass river stones from Seattle, WA,
Drift wood from the Outer Banks, NC,
A tiny pink sea shell from Eleuthera, Bahamas,
Rainbow Waldorf-style lantern and Felt Acorns
from Greenbaboon Designs Etsy shop,
Re-Cycled Crayon Hearts made by me and the girls!
Thanks for coming over for a little tour today,
hope you'll come by again soon for some coffee and mess making --
I need to use up some of these art supplies!

* Barbie Art Gallery With Shapescapes
"Person In A Wheelchair"
I recently got out our "Shapescapes" toy and "E" had a great time making a
Modern Art Sculpture Garden for her Barbie Dolls to visit.
That's Malificent and her son "Henry" (batman) visiting the garden.
I love the sculptures "E" made and had to take photos to show and tell!
"Mom Bird and Baby Bird" aka "Big Bird Eating Little Bird"
''Moose Eating Blueberries In Maine"
"Monthly Calendar"
"King" and to his left "Man Walking Dog"
Here's "E"s whole Barbie family, Malificent and her husband Edward,
their two teenage daughters, Jane and Snow White, and their two youngest kids,
Beatrice (Catwoman) and Henry (Batman).
(Be careful not to look directly at Jane or she'll turn you into stone!)
They really enjoyed their afternoon at the
Modern Art Sculpture Garden!
pink and green mama, MaryLea
I couldn't find a link to our Shapescapes toy, but they're very similar to our Zolos
(that we also LOVE!)

* DIY Spring Peg Dolls
I've recently been bitten by the peg-doll-making bug!
Please stop me, it's getting out of control.
It started innocently enough when I agreed to
do a peg doll exchange...
then, it was too fun drinking my morning coffee
and painting with my (Awesome!) Yarka watercolors.
Then, I started adding little felt flower hats
and acorn tops with some Aleene's craft glue.
Then, the girls took over.
Little flower fairy friends started to appear all over the house.
On playroom windowsills.
On my grandmother's loom in the art studio.
In the art studio.
Then, one appeared in the mailbox!
This one came from We Bloom Here blog.
She has a FANTASTIC Peg Doll Tutorial HERE!
Look how sweet she is!
Like a little snowdrop.
You can see the other little peg dolls from the swap gallery here.
And a few of ours, jumped in the mail too,
one to California and one to Southern Australia!
Happy Peg Doll Making!
pink and green mama, MaryLea

to make giant circular knits
you need
giant circular knitting needle!
need to make a giant circular knitting needle!
Supplies needed:
giant circular knitting needle tutorial:
but you can make it any length of course!),
EDIT Aug 14, 2014:
I just finished working with t-shirt yarn and I had to make another circular needle.
To make it work better for the kind of stitch I am using, I made both sides sharp and wrapped electrical tape where the wire connect to the wood. This trick helped tremendously the stitches to go freely from the cable to the tip.

Snap entitlement judgments will hurt young, vulnerable
The proponents of cuts to the nation's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program say they would like to replace "the lifestyle of government dependency with the self-respect and upward economic mobility that comes from work." So would we.
So would the millions of Americans who supplement their meager wages with the government assistance. It just hasn't worked out that way in our so-called jobless recovery.
Congressional Republicans – all but 15 of them, anyway – insist on framing this debate by perpetuating the myth that shiftless, able-bodied Americans are gaming the system. A lot of those Republicans probably even believe it, although facts say otherwise.
The Republicans say their bill is designed to force people to return to the work force. But current rules limit SNAP benefits for adults deemed able to work to a total of three months over three years.
And while federal law includes a work requirement for food stamp recipients, in the last year alone 45 out of 50 states were granted a waiver on that requirement because of high unemployment.
The GOP cites SNAP's growth as evidence of bloated bureaucracy, but it is actually one of the most efficient government assistance programs in operation, with an efficiency of 96.2 percent. The administrative expenses for SNAP amount to less than 5 percent of total cost.
Some Republicans have even denied these cuts will deprive kids of food, although it's difficult to imagine how they wouldn't when already hunger is so prevalent in our own community. Nearly a quarter of Calhoun County's children are "food insecure," meaning they are at risk of missing a meal.
Food stamp disbursements kept an estimated 4 million people above the poverty line in 2012, according to a Census report released last week. Looking at households that received SNAP funds in 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that nearly half of those households included children.
Republicans have argued the benefits are too generous, but the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the House legislation would deny benefits to 3.8 million people who live on an average of $1.33 per meal.
Were the House Republicans who voted for this willing to look at facts, they'd instead be talking about the betrayal of U.S. citizens who are increasingly finding it impossible to realize the American promise of upward mobility in exchange for their labor and service to their nation.
It's been well documented that the bulk of our nation's income goes to the wealthiest Americans. In 2012, the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans earned more than 19 percent of the country's household income – their largest share since 1928.
And while the House bill would quite literally take food away from kids and vulnerable adults – and place enormous pressure on food banks and pantries that already struggle to meet the needs – it is quite generous to corporate farming interests.
The $20 billion in annual farm subsidies the House approved is but one example of how these so-called fiscal hawks choose their priorities.
As we've written previously, we'd welcome an honest debate about how to better manage assistance to low-income Americans.
We've joined calls by the Association of Health Care Journalists, for example, for the USDA to disclose what foods are purchased by SNAP beneficiaries and the profits specific retailers make from the program.
But we're not getting an honest debate from conservative Republicans. Instead, we're getting a steady diet of indifference to the plight of a growing number of Americans.

Personalised Cherished Number Plates
Since their humble beginning in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized possessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
The First Number Plate Ever Issued
A1 assigned in 1903
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.
You can find out where your personalised registration number plate was originally issued here.
On average, the city RTOs earn close to Rs 12-14 crore annual revenue from the sale of special numbers. The number '1' can fetch a maximum of Rs 12 lakh if it is not available in the current running series and is purchased from a future series. A two-wheeler owner can buy the special number for Rs 1.5 lakh. At the Andheri RTO, large TV screens display information on VIP numbers.
The latest statistics show that Pune tops all RTOs when it comes to selling the special registration numbers, while Mumbai comes fifth.
While Pune RTO has sold 30,366 numbers and fetched a revenue of Rs 23.45 crore, this was followed by Nashik RTO where 27,545 VIP numbers were sold to citizens at a cost of Rs 19.59 crore. At Thane, as many as 10,744 special numbers were sold to fetch a revenue of Rs 9.98 crore while Kolhapur sold 10,611numbers for Rs 7.3 crore.
The craze for getting a VIP number began in the northern states," said an official. For example, in Punjab, there have been cases of farmers buying VIP numbers for lakhs of rupees in auction. In 2012, a Chandigarh businessman purchased registration number CH-01-AN-0001 for Rs 17 lakh. The number AK-47 is also popular in Punjab and sold for Rs 3 lakh to Rs 5 lakh almost every year.
On Saturday an Emirati businessman bought the distinctive Dubai car plate number AA10 after posting the winning bid of 3.12 million dirhams during the Roads and Transport Authority's (RTA) 97th 'Open Plates Auction'.
Majid Mustafa, who has been participating in the RTA auctions since 2002, told the UAE-based publication that he will keep the AA10 number plate for his personal use and mount it on one of his numerous cars.
The RTA's year-end auction raised a total of 12.75 million dirhams this time around and saw nine other AA code plates, including 12, 50, 100, 333, 786, 1000, 8888, 11111, and 55555 going under the hammer.
Mustafa also said that he has owned a total of 5,000 special plates, many of which he already traded and gained profitable margins. At a price of 6 million dirhams, the most expensive plate he has ever acquired was I10.
During the auction on Saturday, the second most expensive plate went to Essa Al Habbai who bought AA12 for 2.72 million dirhams.
Another Emirati won the bidding for the third most expensive plate, AA50, priced at 1.84 million dirhams, while a 44-year-old Lebanese expat acquired AA11111 for 1.21 million dirhams.
"I will mount it on my Lamborghini..."
Another Emirati, 32-year-old businessman Jaber Khamis, won the number AA333 after bidding 700,000 dirhams for it.
"The plate (AA333) is really special. I will mount it on my Lamborghini but I might also sell it if I find the right buyer who will offer a really good price," Khamis told Khaleej Times.
At the auction, RTA also unveiled a new design for Dubai number plates. It will feature the Dubai brand logo, and the letters and digits will be printed in black on white background.
In October, RTA already raised 25 million dirhams at the 'Open Plates Auction'.
"The number auctions organized by the RTA are characterized by transparency and enthusiasm. They measure up to the aspirations of customers who seek exclusivity in this regard. Such auctions suffice the needs and aspirations of number plate enthusiasts, and reflect RTA's keenness to realize its third strategic goal of 'People Happiness'," said Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of RTA's Licensing Agency at the time.
$30,000 for personalised plates? Tell him he's dreaming.
Gracemere man Chase Ferguson's "for sale" post attracted plenty of attention overnight, but probably not the kind he was after.
Ironically, the $30K price tag he's placed on a set of "no idea" personalised number plates has spurred a thread of witty remarks and memes, but few interested buyers.
"Two standard size prestige plates. NO IDEA. Excellent condition still on vehicle. $30 000 or nearest offer," he posted to the Rockhampton Buy, Swap, Sell Facebook page on Sunday night.
It comes as the Rockhampton was found to have the second-highest number of personalised plates in the state, with 3644 residents pimping their rides.
The region sits next in line to the Sunshine Coast (5598), which trumps the regions of Mackay (3012); Gladstone (1072); Bundaberg (1072); Fraser Coast (766); Warwick (305) and Gympie (602).
While some are saying Chase's asking price is exorbitant, $30,000 is a bargain compared to some sellers who are asking up in the hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars.
Rodney Gilchrist has taken up "dream" real estate on the personalised plate front, buying up DREAM1, DREAM2, DREAM3, DREAM4, DREAM5 and DREAM6 and re-selling for $300,000.
The number plates have been on the market for about 12 months, as the church pastor patiently waits for a cashed-up fleet manager to buy the plates.
Chase Ferguson has been contacted for comment.
If none of the above appeal to the rev head in you, here are some of the top-dollar plates up for grabs online:
HEART: The most expensive plates in the state, but the seller suggests a heart surgeon may have the $50,000 needed to snap them up.
Reg Plate Auction - Day 3 News - £63,500 for 1 OOO
The third day of the DVLA cherished number plate auction is underway with a bang!
the registration plate 1 OOO has been sold to a telephone bidder for the sum of £63,500 hammer price!
A high-end four-wheeler carrying an 'MLA' sticker was spotted parked in Prakashnagar, Begumpet with a fancy registration plate carrying the number AP2 AB 2222.
The vehicle was spotted by Mr Hari Satya Sandeep, a social media user who often shares pictures of traffic rule violation on the Facebook page and Twitter handles of the Hyderabad traffic police. Mr Sandeep said the car with MLA sticker was not parked properly and its fancy number plate was a violation of the rule.
"When I checked its challans on the Hyderabad traffic police e-challan portal there were no pending challans. They may have cleared the challans but in that case they would have changed the number plate if they were fined for it," Mr Sandeep said.
Asked about this, Dr V. Ravinder, joint commissioner Hyderabad traffic police, said, "As we have received the complaint we will look into the matter and will take action accordingly."
Mr Vinod Kanumala, chief functionary of the Indian Federation of Road Safety, said, "Abuse of rules by LAs is very common. The law makers are the primary law breakers." He said he had noticed a barcode number plate on a car in the city.
Number plate 2 of category 1 was the biggest attraction at the Abu Dhabi Police's open vehicle number plates auction on Saturday, sold for Dh10.1 million.
The popular auction generated a revenue of more than Dh55 million, auctioning 60 distinguished Abu Dhabi number plates at Emirates Palace hotel.
Abu Dhabi Police, in cooperation with Emirates Auction, held the public auction on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of its establishment.
Organised by Emirates Auction, the auction listed the numbers on the company's website, including five double-digit plates, 15 three-digit plates, 19 four-digit and 17 five-digit plates.
Number plate 2 was the only one-digit licence plate in the auction, and was the first one-digit Category 1 number plate sold in a public auction.
Other number plates featured in the auction were 10, 60, 333, 600, 999, 1000, 1111, 5050, 6000, 6060, 6666, 9090, 9999, 10000, 55555, 60000, 66666.
WOULD you pay more than $150,000 for a piece of metal measuring just 19cm by 13cm?
That's the length to which collectors of historic South Australian licence plates are prepared to go to secure their piece of SA motoring history.
The 17 historic SA plates to go under the hammer have reserves ranging from $2999 for SA "467-470'' to $120,000 for SA "90'', right up to $149,999 for SA "29''.
Stewart Kay, proprietor of Historic Plates, said licence plates had proven to be great investments.
"In terms of their metallic value, forget gold and platinum, it's the most expensive metal in the world," he said.
"Some of the three-digit numbers we have ranging from $17,500 to $22,000 – and we've sold some three-digit numbers for more than $50,000 previously – they were $1500 only in the late 2000s, so they've increased quite significantly in that time.
"We find people are using them in their self-managed super fund or to finish off their collectable car.
"If you've just bought the latest $400,000 Porsche or Mercedes or whatever, a $20,000 numberplate is the only way to finish it off."
SA Government records show the "29" plate was first issued in 1907 to Dr E.V Fooks of Gawler, who registered it on an 8hp De Dion car.
"The reserve is $150,000 and we've arrived at that on past sales, but interestingly a couple of months ago, the number 29 Sydney plate sold in Sydney for $750,000," Mr Kay said.
"All of our plates usually sell online or the following day but we offer all our plates at a market correct reserve. But under auction, anything is possible.
"The days of a $1 million South Australian numberplate is not too far off."
So what else could you spend $150,000 on in South Australia?
According to realestate.com.au, $149,000 will buy you a three-bedroom home on 615sqm at Elizabeth East. For $149,990 you could drive away in a new 2017 Maserati Levante 3L 6 cylinder SUV.
And if you'd prefer a holiday, $150,000 will buy a couple 34 nights in the exclusive Osprey Pavillion of Kangaroo Island's luxurious Southern Ocean Lodge.
Diplomatic Plates 'D' what are they?
Diplomatic plates
Since 1979 cars operated by foreign embassies, high commissions, consular staff, and various international organisations have been given plates with a distinguishing format of three numbers, one letter, three numbers. The letter is D for diplomats or X for accredited non-diplomatic staff. The first group of three numbers identifies the country or organisation to whom the plate has been issued, the second group of three numbers is a serial number, starting at 101 for diplomats (although some embassies were erroneously issued 100), 400 for non-diplomatic staff of international organisations, and 700 for consular staff. Thus, for example, 101 D 101 identifies the first plate allocated to the Afghanistan embassy, 900 X 400 is the first plate allocated to the Commonwealth Secretariat.
Sharjah: Fierce bidding at a Sharjah Police licence plate online auction raked in Dh3.4 million for a single plate numbered "15", said Sharjah Police.
In total, Dh9.8 million was raised from the auction of 100 unique number plates.
Organised by Sharjah Police in collaboration with Emirates Auction from March 27 till April 1, the auction attracted the attention of bidders from across the UAE and beyond.

The highest bid on two-digit number went to plate number 15, which recorded Dh3,4 million, while plate number 66 recorded Dh1,2 million. The highest price for three-digit numbers went to plate number 888, which recorded Dh700,000.

EUGENE, Ore. - Former Yale track & field and cross country All-American Lucas Meyer '05 will compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase Thursday night at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Eugene, Ore. Meyer's event starts at 9:10 p.m. Pacific time and includes two preliminary heats of 12 runners each.
A total of 14 runners -- the top four finishers in each heat plus the next six best times -- advance to the finals. The finals are scheduled for Saturday at 2:45 p.m. Pacific Time. The top three finishers who have met the Olympic "A" qualifying standard (8:24.60 in the steeplechase) in each event at the U.S. trials qualify for the Olympics, which begin Aug. 8 in Beijing.
The USA Network is scheduled to have TV coverage of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials from 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Eastern time Thursday night. On Saturday the trials will be broadcast on NBC and streamed on nbcolympics.com from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Meyer has the 19th-best seed time (8:36.31) in the field. Former Colorado runner Steve Slattery, the 2003 U.S. champion and 2006 U.S. runner-up, has the best seed time (8:15.69).
Meyer earned All-America honors in both cross country and the steeplechase his senior year at Yale, finishing 18th at the NCAA Cross Country Championship and 12th at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. He set the school record in the steeplechase with a time of 8:36.39 in his preliminary heat at the NCAAs. Meyer was the IC4A steeplechase champion in 2005 and was a two-time Heps champion in the event as well. He also was Heps and IC4A champion in the 5,000-meter run indoors his senior year. He set the school record in the 5,000 at IC4As in 2004.
Meyer, a comparative literature major, was third team CoSIDA Academic All-American as a senior.
A native of Ridgefield, Conn., Meyer is now running for Oregon TC Elite based out of Eugene, Ore.

There's not much spirit left in the storage tank at Nine Leaves distillery. A little over 400 bottles of 'Clear' have found their way to adventurous punters nationwide and what little is left in the tank is waiting to be filled into wood. That's the next step on Yoshiharu Takeuchi's journey to produce the first premium Japanese rum: maturation.

Whatever the case, I did not intend to miss a film starring Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Priyanka Chopra (the combination works for me). Very glad I went because this one more than exceeded my expectations. It clearly belongs to Salman Khan the entertainer, and to all his fans (it's factored into the rating at the bottom). Here are some highlights:
1. Arun Prajapati (Salman Khan) worked at a television station. A game show host (which made him more likable, given the excellent work he's done in the show 10 Ka Dum, his show being rated higher than those of Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar), he went through a string of unfortunate circumstances. And for them, he blamed God. He had a classic na-shukra (ungrateful to God) personality.
2. A catalyst for one of the most unfortunate of these circumstances was Rocky (Sohail Khan), who did well as the annoying favorite of the owner of the television station, played well by Dalip Tahil.
3. Alia (Priyanka Chopra) worked at the same media outlet. She made the company tick. Liked how she was introduced. And liked her throughout the film, really. As lead actress, she did very well. She also looked rather good sporting a piece of jewelry commonly associated in South Asia with fertility.
4. Arun struggled with failure and kept up his attitude, until one day, he was summoned by the human avatar of God. This was played by Amitabh Bachchan. As expected, Mr. Bachchan did rather well in a role that per Salman, was perfectly suited to him. It was through him and Salman that the lessons in morality were conveyed (and what better time to do that than Independence Day?!). There were several effective reminders of the unexplained forces that guide our lives, and if there is even a slight spiritual side to you, you'll find it very easy to relate to.
Since Arun thought he could run the show better, he was given the powers to do so. How would he use them? Would the world benefit? How would he define 'world'? Besides, Arun loved Alia, but Alia didn't know. Alia was attracted to Rocky, and Rocky knew. How would this love triangle play out? Would God get involved? To get answers to these questions, see God Tussi Great Ho.
5. Several genuinely hilarious moments in the film came courtesy four individuals I did not know were in the film:
- Anupam Kher: Perhaps the most well executed acting in the film came courtesy Mr. Kher, who was fantastic as Arun's father.
- Rajpal Yadav: Think of him as the color commentator (or announcer) in a sports telecast. His role was rather inconsequential, but he too managed to get the audience to laugh often. I have always thought he just looks funny -- his acting skills are a definite complement to any film with a focus on comedy. You might recall he played Chhota Don in Partner (2007).
- Rajesh Vivek: Most surprised to see Ghuran from Lagaan (2001)! playing the role of a beggar. Of all the scenes in which he appeared, perhaps none was as hilarious as the very first, in which Arun gave him tips to sing the right songs to maximize his revenues as a beggar. The scene reminded me of the scene in Partner in which Salman was critiquing Govinda's dancing skills.
- Satish Kaushik:Why, it's Calendar from Mr. India (1987)! His comic timing is still excellent!
6. Notes on the music: The soundtrack by Sajid-Wajid was above average at best, but only as a product independent of the film. Within the film, it was much better, because the songs were pleasantly choreographed. With Salman and Priyanka navigating their way through them with poise, I enjoyed them (after overlooking the umpteen non-Indian dancers in a film based in India)!
This song with vocals by Udit Narayan-Alka Yagnik -- Laal Chunariya -- was beautiful. It doubled as a beautiful sequel to Laal Dupatta from the 2004 Salman-Priyanka film Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (watch it here). So what if it carries the 1990s vibe, can't it still be good? Am I the only one who likes it?
The title song was decent (here's the promo). Tujhe Aksa Beach Ghuma Doon looked a lot, lot better than it sounded (here's the promo). The dances here were especially funny.
Let's Party (here's the promo) sounded like a weird but interesting mix of three songs: 1) It's the time to Disco (Kal Ho Na Ho (2003)); 2) Just Chill (Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005)); and 3) O Jaana (Tere Naam (2003)). The song was pretty on the big screen largely because they were having fun on the sets, which is always good to see. Besides, the two can dance quite well.
7. It was cool to see Salman sing the first few lines to Dil Deewaana from Maine Pyaar Kiya (1989) in the film. There were several other song placements in the film, and they were used well.
8. Honorable mention to the Aamir Khan film Rangeela (1996) for making a special (visual) appearance. See if you can catch that! :)
There was also a scene in which Sohail Khan said three words to the tune of a song (you catch it) from an Ashutosh Gowariker-less Shah Rukh Khan equivalent of a patriotic movie, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000).
Of course, these tiranga (tri-colored) bangles are the only reason for my note on that movie. Or maybe Juhi Chawla (haaye-Allah!) has something to do with it ;)
9. The most glaring weakness of the film was lack of detail in art direction. A definite area of improvement, this made the movie appear as if it was made in a rush (maybe it was). It carried somewhat of a dated look too, a shame, because there these fine details would have made the film much better, because the plot and cast worked well together. The only time I felt the film crossed the boundaries of silliness was in a scene involving Krrish (see, I told you Krrish was a Khan by osmosis (point 5 in this post))! ;)
What some will characterize as a weakness was that Arun's character was rather loud and melodramatic. I thought this was perfectly intentional (hence a strength), given the role and Salman's presence. Given what we know of him and this genre of films, this isn't all unexpected.
10. A definite strength was that the comedy was mostly clean, qualifying it as a family movie (rare these days, I think). The audience at the cinema was reflective of this, with children and grandparents among the crowd. I was surprised at the number of people there. Spoke to a few on the way out, and the general sentiment was one of contentment. That contentment is probably what the movie was aiming for (as a moral lesson -- as in let's be content with what we have and not complain to God about every little thing we have do not have). This IndiaFM First Day First Show video corroborates my observation.
11. Overall, the film had its strong moments. I haven't seen the Hollywood film this is said to be adapted from -- Bruce Almighty -- so I cannot draw comparisons others would. What I have heard is that Salman's acting was very different from Jim Carrey's, which I never doubted. But God Tussi Great Ho managed to keep me engaged (and smiling when not laughing). See the film with your thinking caps off (might as well throw it toward the heavens), and I think you'll like it.
It brings back the 1990s-style family entertainment, and traces of Salman's more recent works. If you liked other Salman films of this genre, e.g. No Entry (2005), Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005), and Partner (2007), I think you'll enjoy this enough to warrant a trip to the theaters. It is a big-screen movie, so don't hesitate to make the trip if you liked those movies. If not, wait for the DVD.
At the very least, it is much better than a good 'timepass' flick. At its best, a performance even the non-die-hard fans of Salman Khan (especially) and Amitabh Bachchan will enjoy, for it is through their on-screen presence (and some very good acting too) that the film works as an effective, fun-filled entertainer with a message that everyone can relate to.
Movie rating: 3.25/5 (Good)
Music rating: 3/5 (Good with picturizations, average independently)
My Classification: PG (Hardly any vulgarity here; family friendly)

Story highlights
- Supreme Court hears case challenging prayer at town board meeting
- Richard Garnett says court will likely be reluctant to uphold a ban on such prayers
- Garnett: Constitution prohibits establishment of religion, but public prayers have long history
- Garnett: U.S. has long tried to protect both religious faith and religious liberty
It is always risky to make predictions about the Supreme Court's decisions based on what is or is not said by lawyers and justices at oral argument. It is also almost impossible to resist the temptation to hunt through the transcripts for clues and tea leaves.
On Wednesday, the justices heard arguments in a case called Town of Greece v. Galloway, which involves a challenge to a small New York town's practice of opening its board meetings with short prayers, delivered by volunteers. A lower federal court ruled last year that the town of Greece's prayers -- but not necessarily all legislative prayers -- violate the First Amendment's rule against "establishments" of religion.
Arguing for those challenging the prayer was one of the most respected legal scholars in America, Douglas Laycock. As his argument time was running down, Justice Elena Kagan -- one of the two justices nominated by President Obama -- shared an interesting and revealing observation. She emphasized how important it is to "maintain a multireligious society in a peaceful and harmonious way" and then added, "every time the court gets involved in things like this, it seems to make the problem worse rather than better."
A clue? Perhaps. The Supreme Court's decisions and doctrines about church-state relations, religious liberty, and the role of faith in public life are regularly criticized as unpredictable and unprincipled. Why, for example, is a large Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the Texas State Capitol acceptable while a display in a Kentucky courthouse that includes a framed copy of the Ten Commandments is not? Why did the justices permit a Rhode Island city's Christmas display, which included a creche, but disapprove Pittsburgh's, which did also.
To many observers, the court's rulings seem to have done more to cause discord and dissonance than -- borrowing Kagan's words -- peace and harmony and, at Wednesday's session, many of the justices appeared to share her concern. Over and again, they pressed the attorneys to identify clear lines and straightforward rules that courts, legislators and citizens might use to separate permissible religious solemnizations from unconstitutional religious establishments.
It would be clear and straightforward, of course, to say the Constitution bans all officially sponsored prayers at government meetings and functions. However, to say this would also conflict glaringly with American history and traditions, going back to the founding. In fact, one of the first things the first Congress did when it assembled in 1789 was to select chaplains for the House and the Senate.
This is why, 30 years ago, in the case of Marsh v. Chambers, the court held that legislative prayers offered by a paid chaplain did not violate the First Amendment and it is probably also why none of the justices indicated that he or she is inclined, at this late date, to change course so dramatically. Nor did a majority of the justices seem inclined to treat volunteer-led prayers at town board meetings like potentially coercive invocations at public school graduations and football games.
One suggestion to the justices was that legislative prayers be "nonsectarian" and avoid religious issues and theological claims on which there is significant disagreement. Several of the justices appeared to agree that this would be a sensible policy.
At the same time, most were leery of making this good practice a constitutional requirement, of forcing trial court judges into the tricky and delicate business of parsing and perusing prayers, or of policing a line between allowable prayers that invoke "almighty God" and over-the-line ones that address "Jesus Christ."
Our country is, as Kagan noted, a "multireligious society" and so it is both unsurprising and unavoidable that Americans sometimes disagree about the role and place of religious faith in our public life. It is just as much a fact about our country that, from the very beginning, we have tried to respect religious faith and protect religious liberty, in private and in public. Our tradition and practice has not been to regard public acknowledgments of religion and public requests for divine guidance as inconsistent with our founders' wise decision to distinguish between, or "separate," church and state.
A decision by the court to uphold the town board's prayers in Greece will probably not clear up all the questions about or patch up all the holes in the court's First Amendment case law. However, such a decision, one that relies on precedent and avoids any dramatic changes in direction, will avoid making things worse. And, as Kagan reminded us, that is no small thing.

Xoxo! Cory
Hahahhaa! True!
Ahaha true!

xx Mira
WOW so many stylish faces you spotted !
Great looks!! I really love both denim outfits, so effortless and elegant!
love AW's jacket
The first lady looks like Meg Ryan
It is!
The first one is my favorite look! Jeans and Leo – perfect!
Love seeing photos of Anna Wintour! They all have such gorgeous accessories.
Such beautiful colours, especially the last one, it's very simple but that lipstick colour turns it into something magical. And I really dig the third look!
love the first one,her style is amazing,and so impressive the last one
I want more all denim and all white look! And the last photo is gorgeous!
First pic – sloppy look. Anna Wintour needs lipgloss! Love the cherry sandals LOL!!
Ok, that's it, I think it is about time I get a leopard print clutch! so adorable and surprisingly versatile!
I love the first one! Great tomboy look.
With love,
Love that first look!
I so need those sunglasses in the last photo! :D They're freakin awesome!
1) Not keen on what Meg Ryan's doing here … it's sloppy, especially the baseball cap. Love the clutch, though.
2) That is one heck of a "statement blouse" in white and I love it! Same with the straw clutch – great transitional piece from summer to fall.
3) If this dress had less texture – remove either the purple detail down the front or the lace going across the hem, or both – I'd love it.
4) Anna Wintour is a class act when it comes to dress. That jacket is ridiculously divine.
5) This is my favourite look of the series – all denim with the whimsical floral print bag and cute cherry sandals! I also like the brightly coloured bracelet detail. It also goes to show, you don't need to be fancy to be stylish.
6) I love the Lennon shades, her bold lip …. cool.
Thank you for these photos!
Thank you for your great comments.
We are living in great times of FASHION! I am loving people´s sense of style these days. It´s all about individuality. Much more acceptance. Yet, being different- is also what unites us. What I love is that anything goes. You can mix and match almost anything and there is always something of style, beauty and/or interest in it all!
Now, all we as citizens of the western world have left to do in the fashion world- is take a stand against all this plastic surgery and botox nonsense that stiffens and screws everyone up! Fashion would die if it froze. Why would fashionistas, famous people, wannabes and public people- want to be willfully put in a "frozen state!" MOVEMENT IS LIFE….MOVEMENT IS TO GO FORWARD.
LOVE YOUR BLOG and continue to show more wrinkles and all that is beautifully imperfect!!!!!
Stylish and effortless – perfect combination, and you captured it like no one can!
Those cherry sandals! Priceless…
that is exactly what i was looking at! Cherry sandals!
LOVE the purple outfit. This is what I would dress in all the time if I could…
Ms. Wintour knows what silhouettes and colors work for her, and she sticks with it. Can't fault a tried and true style if it aways looks chic. You go, girl!
Young or old i have never seen a lady rock distress jeans like the lady second from bottom…or maybe is because i find her cute.
Love the last girl's sunglasses.
That last photo is extraordinary. Just by capturing her face, you've caught a mood in fashion. Long silky hair, the bare arms and the must have sunglasses.
il look piu bello è quello della prima foto , molto simpatici invece i sandaletti bassi con il dettaglio delle ciliegie
I kind of like Meg Ryan's baseball cap, kind of odd for her but I think it works. As far as Ms. Wintour: typical intimating gaze :)
Wow! The second one! Looove that clutch with the white dress or blouse! And her short hair, so beautiful! And the denim overall is perfect! I love Milan!
You managed to get Anna Wintour, that's amazing!
The second look is perfect. Love those bright red lips juxtaposed with no jewelry and no nail polish. So clean and fresh!
Darling Anna… I like the vunerability in this shot…
Agree, if it indicates what is seen in the eyes; a lovely, compassionate look.
Is Anna….. smiling?!
The denim boiler suit looks FABULOUS! It's such a good look and not too laboured either which always helps x
amazing pics!
OMG! The girl in the last picture is a friend of mine!
A photo of Anna W., Great!!)
Anna Wintour is fantastic
The New Art of Fashion
You've GOT to do a "If You're Thinking About…" on 'lips and sunglasses'!
whoa! Devastating
This is nice Anna. We like it
Anna's dressing better these days with great results. She looks much better when dressed more simply–she went through a phase of too many patterns and textures and bizarro junk–a lot of flotsam and jetsam– and the magazine looked just as bad. The Carrington influence? In any case she looks to have cleaned up her fashion act as well as that of the magazine.
The leopard print, genuine leather, Italian bag the lady in the first picture is wearing, we sell it at Mannequin Qui Bouge!!!!
Can anyone please tell me the which lipstick that is on the gorgeous girl in the last photo?! Love love love the color!
the lipstick is rouge dior number 757! thank you so much for the compliments!
does anyone know what's the sunglasses on the last picture?
I found another really cute denim boiler suit at:
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE THE GIRL ON THE LAST PHOTO GOT HER GLASSES? Thank you all very much.
I like the third picture
I like this post
You guys that is a great explanation. keep up the good work in your granite blog. Thank you very much!
Thanks for making my morning a little bit better with this great article!!
Thanks a lot for the post. It has helped me get some nice ideas. I hope I will see some really good result soon.

WASHINGTON � With Syracuse one victory from its fourth Final Four appearance under Coach Jim Boeheim, odes to the Orange's zone defense are flowing in, full-force.
"The best I've seen it all year," former Orange guard Matt Roe said after Thursday night's bottling-up of Indiana, which managed all of 50 points, its lowest output of the season.
With Marquette up next in today's East Region final at Verizon Center, there is much genuflecting in the direction of that all-limbs-and-length 2-3 zone, which some coaches call a gimmick but Boeheim sells as gospel.
"It just overwhelms you," Marquette Coach Buzz Williams said.
Boeheim has won 915 games at Syracuse, placing him second in Division I men's basketball history. He has employed the zone in each of his 37 seasons, though he said it "finally dawned on me" that he should switch to it exclusively only a few years ago.
Why, then, do so few teams try to emulate Syracuse's defensive strategy?
Coaching is, essentially, a copycat profession: One coach invents something, another tweaks it and soon it's being taught on half the floors or fields nationwide. Given that, shouldn't a young assistant, looking for his first head-coaching position, walk into an interview with an athletic director and say, "If you hire me, I'm going to play zone defense like Syracuse plays zone defense"?
"For a guy to do it full-time, young and at a high level," Williams said, "I don't know that you'll see that."
"I don't think that would work," Boeheim said yesterday. "Nobody does it."
Or, rather, nobody does it as well, and nobody does it for 40 minutes a game. Consider, though, this year's statistics: Opponents are shooting 37.2 percent against Syracuse, the third-lowest mark in the nation, and just 28.7 percent from 3-point range, which ranks fourth. The Orange create 9.1 steals per game, second in the Big East. Only two teams in the country have blocked more shots.
"Coming into this season," said assistant coach Adrian Autry, who played under Boeheim, "we thought this would be one of the best defensive teams that we've had."
One of the best defensive teams in Boeheim's 37-year career, playing exclusively zone. And yet it's an anomaly in college basketball.
"Zone, I think some people get into that mentality of, 'I'm not as good as you, so I have to come up with a gimmick,' " Roe said.
Yet Syracuse competes for, and signs, some of the best recruits in the country.
"I knew when I came here I'd play zone," said sophomore Michael Carter-Williams, the 6-foot-6 spider of a point guard who has 104 steals this season, the most in the nation. "But there's so many man-to-man principles in it, I knew I could be effective."
The system is only as good as the athletes playing it. This year's version has the spindly Carter-Williams and the rugged, 6-4 Brandon Triche out front. Boeheim's forwards, over the years, have looked very much like C.J. Fair � long-armed athletes who get hands in passing lanes and on shots. Carmelo Anthony and Hakim Warrick come to mind.
That's not by accident. The objective of Boeheim's 2-3 is to take away the opponent's top two shooters. Indiana's Jordan Hulls, a 44.7 percent 3-point shooter this season, was the latest casualty: He missed all six of his 3-point attempts Thursday night. Syracuse's opponents in the NCAA Tournament are shooting 16.4 percent from three-point range.
"The biggest thing is, we recruit for our system," said Orange assistant Gerry McNamara, another former Syracuse player. "You could scout against it, but you can't simulate it, because we recruit for it. It's difficult when you don't face it every day to simulate what you're about to face, because more often than not opposing teams don't have the same type of length, and they don't cover it the same way."
On a November night 3� years ago, Syracuse hosted Division II Le Moyne in an exhibition game. The Orange played man-to-man that night � and lost.
"I figured out, we can't beat this team playing man-to-man, we better forget about playing man-to-man," Boeheim said, "because they lost 10, 11 games in Division II that year."
The way Boeheim figured it: Why are we wasting valuable practice time on something we're incapable of mastering when we could be perfecting something we know we do well? It sharpened his focus. Forget what others might do or say. Playing only zone freed Boeheim's mind.
"When we played both defenses, I used to second-guess myself," Boeheim said. "It's bad enough when 30,000 people are second-guessing you. When you start second-guessing yourself, you're really in trouble. When we went to just playing zone, at least I don't second-guess myself anymore."
The Orange now play just the zone, but they adapt it to different situations � trapping in the corners, raising it almost to the foul line to put pressure on ballhandlers, sagging the center to give a 2-2-1 look.
It is, by now, the identity of just one program � not just in the tournament, but in the country. Yet when Boeheim retires, might he take the defense with him?
"If I'm a coach, there's no question that I implement it," McNamara said.
Yet in recent memory, no young coach has taken over a program and eschewed man-to-man.
"Maybe if you were at a one-bid league institution," Williams said, "where maybe you weren't tracked and followed?"
Maybe. Boeheim's zone has been tracked since the early 1980s, tracked to the point when he decided to play it exclusively. Yet it still baffles, and has not been duplicated, in part because so few have had the courage to try.

Anti-bias Curriculum: Tools for Empowering Young Children
National Association for the Education of Young Children, 1989 - Discrimination in education - 149 pages
Young children are aware that color, language, gender, and physical ability are connected to privilege and power. Racism and sexism have a profound influence on children's developing sense of self and others. This book on the creation of anti-bias curriculum can be used to help young children develop anti-bias attitudes, learn to think critically, and speak up when they believe something is unfair. The term "anti-bias" is used to denote an active approach to challenging prejudice, stereotyping, bias, and the "isms." The 12 chapters of this book provide a rationale for an anti-bias curriculum, and discuss: (1) creating an anti-bias environment; (2) working with 2-year-old children; (3) learning about racial differences and similarities; (4) learning about disabilities; (5) learning about gender identity; (6) learning about cultural differences and similarities; (7) learning to resist stereotyping and discriminatory behavior; (8) using activism with young children; (9) using holiday activities in an anti-bias curriculum; (10) working with parents. A self-education guide to starting an anti-bias curriculum is provided. Also provided are several lists of resources; a worksheet on stereotypes; a list of 10 quick ways to analyze children's books for sexism for racism; and a sample persona doll story. (RH)

While I appreciate the technique, I don't like the "jacket put on backwards look."
Had the "hood like" effect been taken from the front, I might consider this style though as the back detailing is nice indeed!
Thanks for the fashion history lesson. Man; we get it all on this blog!
i love this collection.
relaxed yet totally clean and chic!
I do agree that the pleats make the back interesting. I also liked the collection as a whole. There were a lot of pieces I would wear. The dresses were very slim too.
Thanks for the Watteau sketch too. Fashion history is important. :)
Wow Sart, these looks are terribly grim I think. I appreciate the sophistication, but they look like they've just barely survived the apocalypse and are in mourning.
I'm so glad that women don't actually look and dress like this.
I thought this collection was absolutely breathtaking. I wish I could have been there to watch it live, but even watching the video and photos I was absolutely wowed.
I tried on a dress/tunic the other day from some cheap little shop and realized it simply wouldn't work because there was no effort to create this pleating. So the fabric just bunched and hung instead of draping like they in these pics. Yet another style that just can't be bought on the cheap.
Love the leather jacket.
Don't they have a bottle of Static Guard backstage? Both skirts look in need of a spray.
Oh, dear, even their skin looks grey
my 4-year-old loves to put her coat on backwards. it's hilarious to her.
I love those somber clothes. So much better than his last outing.
SO happy you mentioned Watteau pleats, Sart. You should read Anne Hollander's brilliant book on the history of draping, if you haven't–"Fabric of vision."
The first jacket looks backwards… there's humor in fashion after all. =D

MOSCOW, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Russia's deputy prime minister will meet the board of Rostelecom next week amid reports he may suggest replacing the management of the state-controlled telecoms operator after the house of its CEO was searched in a fraud probe.
Aliya Samigullina, spokeswoman for Dvorkovich, told Reuters on Friday he plans to meet Rostelecom's board to discuss the reorganisation of Rostelecom and state telecoms holding company Svyazinvest. She declined further comment.
Russia's Vedomosti newspaper earlier cited two sources as saying Dvorkovich might touch on the idea of replacing the company's management.
Russia's state development bank VEB along with Svyazinvest own a combined 53.2 percent stake in Rostelecom, which was created partly through Svyazinvest's telecoms assets.
Russian investigators in November searched the home of Alexander Provotorov, chief executive of Rostelecom, and the home of a minority shareholder, Konstantin Malofeyev.
The probe is linked to a $225 million loan by VTB to finance a business deal in 2007 in which, investigators suspect, Malofeyev was involved on both sides of the transaction. It follows a slew of scandals that has soured the mood of investors towards Russia.
Newspapers reported in October that Provotorov, who took the helm at Rostelecom in July 2010, could be replaced by Vadim Semyonov, the head of state telecoms holding company Svyazinvest who studied law with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
Rostelecom declined comment. (Reporting by Dasha Korsunskaya and Katya Golubkova; Additional reporting by Maria Kiselyova; Editing by Mark Potter)

Two new sections of the local Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane protection system will go to construction next year.
Two new sections of the local Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane protection system will go to construction next year.
That includes levees that will tie into the massive floodgate on the Houma Navigation Canal, which is under construction.
The Terrebonne Levee District accepted and approved bids on the levees at its meeting earlier this month.
The first is a nearly 3-mile-long, 10-foot-tall section of levee that will connect to the east side of the Houma Navigation Canal floodgate, said Terrebonne Levee District Manager Angela Rains. That levee was bid out at a cost of $15.7 million. Minnesota-based Ceres Environmental was awarded the work.
The second project is a 10-foot-tall levee that will stretch from the Houma Navigation Canal floodgate west to the Mayfield levee in Dularge. It will cost $3.6 million to build, Rains said, and the work is being done by Fillway Construction in Thibodaux.
The Terrebonne Levee District began building a scaled-down local version of Morganza after Hurricane Ike flooded the parish in 2008. The protection system will include 10-foot levees and 18-foot floodgates stretching from Larose to Dularge.
The two levees will complete the Levee District's efforts to build protection on the Houma Navigation Canal, which has been a top priority for local officials, said Terrebonne Levee Director Reggie Dupre.
"This is significant because it completes our efforts to block the Houma Navigation Canal," Dupre said.
The straight-line canal acts as a funnel during storms, sending water from the Gulf of Mexico rushing directly toward Houma. During the peak of Hurricane Ike in 2008, U.S. Geological Survey water gauges measured more than 1.4 billion gallons per hour of water rushing up the Houma Navigation Canal.
A massive $52 million structure is being constructed to block flooding in the Houma Navigation Canal.
A 273-foot-long, 60-foot-wide and 42-foot-high barge will be used to close the gate. That structure will be delivered to the floodgate site for installation in January.
Contractors are working to build the floodwalls and the gate portion of the floodgate on site.
When sunk in place and closed, the barge will rise 18 feet above the waterline to block storm surge. The barge will be pumped full of water — 1.8 million gallons — to sink it.
It will take up to five hours to close it, and because of its enormity, it will have to stay closed for days until the flood threat has passed.
The floodgate is scheduled to be finished by the start of next hurricane season. But the levees that connect to the Houma Navigation Canal floodgate will not be finished until 2014.

Exeter and Notts County had to settle for a point each as they played out a 1-1 draw at St James' Park in a game of few chances.
County dominated the first half, but it was the Grecians that struck first on eight minutes. Billy Jones' cross was headed down by Troy Archibald-Henville and Alan Sheehan could only divert the ball into his own net.
However, it took only eight minutes for County to respond as Ben Burgess made the most of some sloppy Exeter defending to slide the ball past Lenny Pidgeley from 15 yards.
David Noble's free-kick was superbly saved by Stuart Nelson and substitute Jimmy Keohane skied high for Exeter in the second half, while Neal Bishop saw his header come back off the crossbar for County.
Grecians substitute Rowan Vine had a glorious chance to win it late on, but he stumbled when through on goal and Chris Shephard twice failed to make contact from Steve Tully crosses when well placed in front of goal.

We keep our cuticles intact and uni-directional to prevent tangling and un-natural movement. Our customized color process protects the cuticles of our Russian ponytails to offer you long lasting Studio Clip-in hair!
• Design – We designed our Studio Clip-Ins™ with the hairstylist in mind. Our clip-in hair was created for ease of application and comfort for all day wear. Wear all pieces at once or choose select pieces for an updo or ponytail for maximum style options!
• Small pressure sensitive clips with a silicone coating that are comfortable for all day wear while preventing slippage even within fine hair textures.
• Custom Colors – Our Studio Clip-Ins™ are created with custom designed colors with dimension by mixing light and dark shades to blend with your hair color.
• Dyeing and Bleaching! – Our Studio Clip-Ins™ can be dyed or bleached by your professional hairstylist. Remember to always do a color test on a small section of hair to protect your investment.
• Samples – Order samples to ensure the best color match! We refund the cost of samples as a Gift Code up to $25 toward your next order
