Sometimes we like to treat ourselves to the finer things in life. That's why we spent a few days in early February staying at a Travel Lodge. We didn't pick just any Travel Lodge, we stayed at the Studio Way Travel Lodge in Borehamwood. That's right, Studio Way…the place where you can see all the top stars. The Tesco we shopped in just down the street was next to the Elstree Studios George Lucas Stage. I bet George Lucas has stayed in the very same Travel Lodge we stayed in. Heck, he might've even stayed in the same room.
The Studio Way Travel Lodge is the ideal hangout for A-list celebrities. It features a lovely view out back of beer bottles strewn across the grass. My favorite feature was the stray pubic hairs in the bathtub when we checked in. Because they could've been the pubic hairs of an A-list celebrity like Danny DeVito or Fran Drescher, I kept them. They're in a plastic baggy in my purse right now. Once I figure out which star they belong to I'm sure I can get good money for them on eBay.
I knew our room was significant the first day because housekeeping didn't shut our door completely after cleaning it. They probably did that to give other guests in the hotel the opportunity to look around our room and see the bed that George Lucas, Danny DeVito and possible Fran Drescher had slept in…separately I hope.
As much as I loved the Borehamwood Studio Way Travel Lodge, I was happy to leave. Now we have our own place in the country. Don't worry though. We can go to Borehamwood any time we have a hankering to see some movie stars.
Some Films Made in Borehamwood (this bit is just to clutter up your already cluttered brain with useless information)

- Indiana Jones I, II, and III

o Register for your program
If you participate in a semester or year-long education abroad program -The CUAbroad office will register you for a full-time placeholder course for the duration of your semester abroad. You must follow a full-time course of study at your host institution/program in order to qualify for financial aid.
If you participate in a short-term or faculty-led group study abroad program—offered over Spring Break or Summer—you will register for your program by on-line registration, using the course number(s) provided by your program leader, unless otherwise instructed.
If you participate in a non- affiliated program—follow the procedures as instructed and make sure your program and your participation is approved by the CUAbroad office.
On-campus Registration DO NOT register for on-campus classes at CUA, in addition to your CUAbroad registration. If you do, you will be double-billed. CUAbroad will register you in Cardinal Station and you will remain an active CUA student during the term abroad.
On-Site Registration. You will register for your classes at your host institution, according to the host institution's instructions and regulations and timetables.
Official Transcript. At the conclusion of your term of study, request an official transcript to be sent to the CUAbroad office. This is your responsibility. Credits and grades be evaluated for CUA equivalency and the courses will be posted on Cardinal Station by the Registrar's Office. Next, the courses will be manually placed in their appropriate places on your tracking sheet by the Arts and Sciences office. If you participate in a non-CUA program, your credits - but not your grades - will be posted on your CUA transcript according to CUA rules and regulations.
o Apply for your passport
You will need:
• an official passport application (which you can download from the State Department website at http://travel.state.gov or pick up at the Downtown Post Office
• a previous passport or a certified copy of your birth certificate (If you don't have this, write to the Records Department at the courthouse in the county in which you were born to request one; it must have the raised seal to be accepted as a certified copy)
• two identical 2"x 2" passport photos
• a photo ID (your Driver's License is good); and
• method of payment: an application fee (approx. $75) and execution fee (approx. $25)
• Processing time varies from 2 to 6 weeks. If you're in a hurry, talk to the personnel at the Passport Office about expediting your application (there's an additional charge for this service). There are also services that will walk your application through for you for $150 or less. Get your passport as soon as you have been accepted by your program!
Apply for your visa, if required
• If a visa is required, you can obtain the necessary application forms from the Consulate or the Embassy of the country you're visiting. Some countries require that you send photos, a financial statement, affidavit of financial support, a medical report, your acceptance letter from the school you'll be attending, and payment for a visa. You will have to send your passport with your application (the visa will be stamped into your passport). This is another good reason not to delay obtaining your passport: If you must wait the full six weeks for the passport, and then send it along and wait an additional several weeks for your visa, you might not be prepared in time for your program!
Make housing arrangements, if necessary
• On short-term programs, housing is usually included in the cost of the program, and arrangements for housing (and often for most meals) will have already been made. A few programs offer a home-stay option for at least part of the duration of the program, which you may want to consider. It's a great way to get a feel for the country you're visiting and really get to know some people who live there.
• On semester and year-long programs, you will sometimes have a choice of lodging arrangements (such as dormitory, home-stay, and private apartments). If you're staying in a dormitory or apartment, you might have the option of whether to share a room with someone from the host country (or with another international student) instead of someone from your own program. Take your lifestyle preferences into account when choosing, of course, but don't automatically select the "safe" approach of rooming with someone you already know. Having a roommate from the host country or another country can be a wonderful way of exploring other cultures. Check with the coordinator of your program if you're unsure of the housing options available or don't know whether housing and meals are included in the cost of your program. Be aware that you may have to pay for room and/or board in advance.
Make arrangements for payment of your program expenses
• CUA programs, whether short-term or semester-long or for a full academic year, will be billed to your account, visible on Cardinal Station. Once you have paid the deposit, assuring your spot on the program, the remaining balance will be charged to your student account, and will be due at the same time of tuition for that academic term. Academic-year programs will be billed as two separate semester charges, just as when you're here on campus. Please note that you will not be charged for on-campus room and board.
• If you receive financial aid, please make arrangements to speak with CUA's Office of Financial Aid and CUAbroad, so you understand how much of your program costs are covered. If your aid is less than the cost of the program, you are responsible for the balance at the payment due date. If your aid is greater than the cost of your program, or if you've prepaid part - or all - of your program fee before financial aid is released, the difference will be refunded to you if all your other university obligations (parking tickets, overdue library book fines, etc.) have been met.
• If you are participating in a semester or exchange program that is affiliated or sponsored by CUA that includes tuition and fees, broad will pay those charges to the host institution. In most cases your lodging, and sometimes your meal plan, will also be billed to CUA by the host institution.
• If your program is not through CUA (a non-CUA program), you are responsible for arranging billing and payment with the institution sponsoring your program. If you're receiving financial aid, you must fill out a consortium agreement with the CUA office of Financial Aid and the financial aid office of your host institution. Please make note that no CUA aid may be used toward a non-CUA program.
Make medical and dental appointments
• Update your immunizations, regardless of where you're going. Don't ruin a trip to the beach by wondering whether that scratch you got on the coral will result in tetanus! Depending on where you're going, you may need to begin medication or injections to prevent malaria, yellow fever, and a host of other diseases not common in the U.S. Check with your personal physician regarding what you'll need and check the Center for Disease Control and Prevention web site at http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/ .
• Medical and dental check-ups are a good idea, too, especially if your program is going to be physically rigorous or if you'll be gone more than a few weeks. Get any problems taken care of before you travel, and get any prescriptions you'll need written and refilled. A toothache is no fun at home and is even worse when you're nowhere near a dentist who speaks English!
Check with your health insurance provider
• Medical insurance is a necessity (In fact, CUA requires that all students going abroad have proof of health insurance before leaving). Check your current policy to see whether you have coverage when outside the U.S. If not, see if such coverage is available on a short-term basis (for the length of your studies plus any additional travel time) for policy-holders. Be aware that you will have to pay the doctor's or hospital's bill and then submit a claim to be reimbursed.
• If your insurance carrier won't cover you outside the U.S. and doesn't have a supplemental policy you can purchase through them, there are other sources to consider. Check with the company that provides your auto or renter/ homeowner insurance to see whether they have a policy that will meet your needs. Check, too, with CUAbroad. We can give you contact information for several companies that offer health insurance on a short-term basis to students who will be studying abroad. Be aware, however, that most of these companies only offer basic coverage for accidents and health emergencies and that you will have to pay the doctor's or hospital's bill and then submit a claim and wait to be reimbursed.
Apply for an International Student Identity Card
• The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is required of all students studying abroad on CUAbroad programs and is included in the program price for most CUA programs. At $22 (plus a photograph), it can prove to be one of your best investments. Not only will it make you eligible for discounted airfare (domestic and international), but it also provides a supplemental health insurance policy (for such unforeseen but expensive events such as emergency medical evacuation or repatriation of remains) and a 24-hour-a-day traveler's assistance service (for assistance in any language in the event of theft of your passport, need for medical or legal referral, etc.). Application forms and processing of applications are available at CUAbroad or at any STA Travel office.
Make travel arrangements, if not included in your program
• Airline tickets may have been purchased for you in advance by your program leader, especially if you're participating in a short-term group program. If you are responsible for making your own flight arrangements, you'll want to start making phone inquiries as soon as you know your required arrival date. Several agencies give discounts to students; ask for this when you contact an agent. Also consider contacting some or all of the agencies listed below; they specialize in discounted fares for students (not just airfare, either: many also handle BritRail and Eurail passes, bus tickets, etc.).
• Rail passes (bus and plane passes, if you're going to Australia) are another consideration, especially if you will be doing a lot of traveling on your own before, during, and/or after your program. The passes are only available for purchase in the U.S. (you can't get them in Europe, though regular tickets are available there, and Interrail Passes can be purchased if you've been a resident for at least six months). Several different types of passes exist, and which one you need depends on how much traveling you'll be doing over what period of time. Available from your travel agent, your agent will be able to help you determine what kind of pass, if any, will be best for you.
• Discounts are available to students for all kinds of travel-related services.
Several agencies give student discounts on airfare, rail passes, and other transportation. The agencies used most often by students include:
• STA Travel (1-800-226-8624)
• Educational Travel Center (1-800-747-5551)
• AAA (1-800-222-1333 elsewhere)
These agencies typically purchase blocks of seats from various airlines and then resell the seats to students at prices that are usually lower than those available from commercial travel agencies or from the airlines. Because one agency might have sold out its seats on a certain flight while another may still have seats available, it's always a good idea to contact more than one discount agency when making flight arrangements. Talk to these agencies, too, about rail passes, bus schedules, etc.
Prepare a realistic budget
• Use the budget worksheet in the "Money" section of this handbook to help you determine what your expenses will be. Be sure to include airfare, ground transportation (taxi, bus, train), and other "major" expenses as well as the "little things" like phone calls (local and international), snacks, gifts for friends and family, postage, etc.
• Get your finances under control. Pay any outstanding bills (including rent and utilities) before you go, or turn them over to a trusted friend to pay (consider temporary Power of Attorney status for whoever will be taking care of things for you). Buy travelers' checks and check with your bank to learn whether your credit card and/or ATM card will be accepted in the country where you'll be.
Learn about where you're going
• For less-expensive armchair traveling, check out the resources at the public library, or stop by the CUAbroad library and borrow videotapesand/or books on a variety of topics, including specific countries, how to pack,traveling alone, tour options, etc.
• Travel information can be obtained in a variety of ways. Bookstores stock or can order books, maps, travel guides, videotapes, etc., on any country you'd like. Survival Kit for Overseas Living (see the Bibliography in the "Resources" section of this handbook) is an excellent resource, too.
• Country-specific information also be obtained through the State Department Travel Warnings and Consular Information Sheets (on the Web at http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html ), through the State Department Background Notes (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/ ), and in the
CultureGrams (on-line at http://www.onlineedition.culturegrams.com ).
• Talk to your travel agent, too, about places to see, places to avoid, and average costs. Check the World-Wide Web for information (use the country name and "tourism" as keywords), and check the "Resources" section of this Handbook.
• For health-related information, including necessary vaccinations and medications, check the Centers for Disease Control's website at http://www.cdc.gov/travel/index.htm or contact the your physician.
• News broadcasts and newspapers are other good sources of current information on the various countries you'll be visiting. Visit www.onlinenewspapers.com . Check for magazine articles in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature at the library.
• The Travel, Culture, and Resources sections of this handbook also have valuable information and websites for country-specific information, travel information and discounts, cultural differences, etc.
Learn about where you'll be studying
• Information about your program can be obtained in a variety of ways. Ask your program director, CUAbroad staff or the program provider for a DC area list of former participants and contact them.
• Stop by the CUAbroad office and obtain a DC area list of students from the country (and perhaps the school) where you'll be studying.
• If you're going to a university abroad, check their website to learn more about the campus.
• Learn a few words of the local language, if you don't already speak it.
Make copies of all your important documents
• Your passport/visa(s) and Travelers' Checks are prime candidates for the photocopier. So are your credit cards, your acceptance letter if you're attending a school abroad, your airline and train tickets, and anything else that seems important enough to need a copy or would be difficult to replace without the information that it contains.
• Carry the copies separate from the originals! Also carry an extra set of passport photos. Leave a set of copies at home, too, with family or a trusted friend. These copies will come in handy if, like all other human beings, you lose or misplace the originals or if you are "relieved" of them by a pick-pocket.
Find out how to communicate from abroad
• Keeping in touch isn't all that hard from overseas, but it may take some planning on your part. Check with your long-distance telephone carrier about discount opportunities available to you while you're abroad. A "calling home" card can save considerable expense, though each card is only valid for a single telephone number. Phone debit cards are also available. These allow you to pay in advance for the calls you plan to make, simplifying your budgeting for the trip and eliminating the need to carry coins for each country you're visiting. Most if not all programs nowadays offer a cell phone or will help you obtain one after you arrive.
Postcards and letters are always welcomed by those at home, though they'll mean finding time to sit down and write. Postcards will also provide a pictorial record of what you've seen during your travels. E-mail may be available to you, depending on your program.
• If you'll be gone more than a few weeks, learn how to access your e-mail account from overseas.
Get photos of home and of campus
• Photos of family and friends will not only keep you "connected" while you're abroad but will enable you to "introduce" your new friends and acquaintances to your U.S. connections.
• Photos of CUAor CUA postcards from the Book Store, will let you show off the campus and might help encourage students at your host school to try an exchange here!
Learn about the educational system in your host country
• See the Resources pages of this handbook to learn about the structure of higher education in the country in which you'll be studying. Not all countries have 12 years of public education followed by 4 years of college or university study, and knowing how your classmates are taught will help you prepare for classroom life.
Prepare yourself to be an ambassador
• Remember that you'll be representing CUA, your home state, and the U.S., and that you're going abroad to experience a different way of life and learning.Don't expect everything to be the same as at home, and don't try to change theway things are done in your host country or at your host school.
• Do some reading about your home community and state so you'll become aware of population size, economic activity, famous people, etc.
If you will be gone for more than 2-3 weeks
Make arrangements to have your mail forwarded
• Be sure to leave a forwarding address. If you are expecting anything to be mailed from the University, give your new address to the Registrar's Office. This can be your address overseas, your permanent (parents') address, or the address of a trusted friend.
• Remember that your fraternity/sorority friends and/or roommates probably won't be sending most of your mail along to you while you're away. Give them and the U.S. Postal Service a forwarding address in the U.S. where your mail can be sent and where any bills that arrive will be dealt with appropriately.
If you will be gone for more than one semester
Make plans to pre-register for your semester of return
• Be sure to maintain contact with your adviser during the term(s) you're away. E-mail, phone, or "snail mail" will enable you to work out your courses with your adviser so that you're not closed out of classes you need when you come back.
If you are graduating
• If you're a senior, be sure to talk to your academic adviser or your departmental office to complete the necessary procedure. It is generally not advisable to study abroad during your last semester of study at CUA for a variety of reasons, one of which is the delay in receiving your overseas transcript and thus missing date by which all graduation requirements must be met.
Make plans for your return
• Pre-register for classes if you can.
• Make housing arrangements, whether that's with your former roommates, with Housing Services, or by having someone watch the ads for apartments.
• Watch for re-entry shock. Just as you needed to prepare for the culture shock of being in a new place, you'll need to plan in advance for the shock of being home. You'll have spent time away from your "former world", and life has gone on there just as it has for you—but without you! See the "Culture" section of this handbook for more on re-entry shock.
If you will be traveling before or after your program
• Transportation: See the notes on Travel Arrangements in an earlier section of this handbook and the transportation information in the "Travel" section for basics on airfare and train passes.
• Lodging: Youth Hostels are an inexpensive way to bed down when traveling. Most hostels provide either dorm-like rooms or smaller shared rooms in close proximity to rail stations and/or airports. Designed for the traveler, accommodations vary from large shared areas with wall-to-wall beds to private or semi-private rooms in restored villas. Bath and toilet facilities are usually shared; availability of meals varies from on-site restaurants to kitchenettes to vending machines. Holders of a Youth Hostel Card ($25 for 12 months, available from some travel agencies or from Hostelling International at http://www.hihostels.com ) can make reservations in advance and receive a discount on the already-affordable rates. In some countries, pensiones or bed and breakfast establishments are an option and are sometimes even more reasonably-priced than hostels (and often include a simple meal in the price of the room).
• Your destinations: Travel information can be obtained in a variety of ways.
Chain and private bookstores either stock or can order books, maps, travel guides, videotapes, etc., on any country you'd like. For less-expensive armchair traveling, check out the resources at the public library, or stop by the broad resource library and borrow videotapes and/or books on a variety of topics, including specific countries, how to pack, traveling alone, tour options, etc. Talk to your travel agent, too, about places to see, places to avoid, and average costs. Check the World-Wide Web for information (use the country name and "tourism" as keywords).

We had an earlier post about the crowds that have converged on the state Capitol today, which like Tuesdays during the legislative session is known as a Lobby Day, and others have agreed.
I just heard the wait at metal detectors was as long as an hour in some entrances and even some lawmakers, such as Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan, who has been at a tax cap hearing, said "It's difficult to get in the building today."
There is a bright spot though, for motorists who have used any of the 468 visitor spots below the Empire State Plaza — rather than paying $2.50 per hour, they can park all day for $5.
The state lowers the rate during busy times at the Capitol, such as Lobby Days or the Fourth of July in order to speed the entry and exit of motorists in the vast underground lot, said Office of General Services spokeswoman Heather Groll.
By paying $5 on entry, rather than getting a ticket which is then paid for upon leaving the garage, traffic flow is sped up, said Groll.
"We do that on days when we know there are going to be a lot of people coming in and wanting to leave at the same time," she said.

It was recently confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will be announced at an Unpacked event to be held on 21st of February. While the world holds their breath for the next Galaxy iteration, and for what the new devices will come, there are already reports surfacing about Limited Edition devices of the same. Last year, Samsung came up with a Limited Edition Ironman Galaxy S6 Edge device to celebrate the Marvel movie and looks like we could have something similar this year.
Batman vs Superman is easily the most keenly awaited title of the year and is scheduled to release on 24th of March. So, if Samsung is indeed working on this super cool device, you would expect it to come around that period. The phone will most likely come with the same internals but with content like videos and wallpapers from the movie. Not just this, the exterior would too, be clad with themes from the movie.
The report comes from Naver, who say that this is not the only Limited Edition device as Samsung is also planning a 2016 Olympics version to showcase the event in Brazil. These Limited Editions may not even have a global rollout and remain local to a select few markets like China or Korea.

Two executives have left Digg after CEO Matt Williams announced that jobs would have to be cut.
The CEO has endured a tough few weeks since taking over the website with major changes poorly received by the site's loyal users, many of whom have switched to rival Reddit in protest.
This situation was compounded when Williams announced, via a reposted a letter to Digg staff on the site blog, that it would now be necessary to cut staff numbers. He said: "The fact is our business has a burn rate that is too high. We must significantly cut our expenses to achieve profitability in 2011."
Members of staff decided to give Williams a helping hand by doing the job for him and heading straight out the door. Publisher and Chief Revenue officer Chas Edwards was first to leave, joining photo and ad network Pixazza, before CFO and HR exec John Moffett, who has been with the company for five years, also packed his bags.
Chas Edwards mentioned in his personal blog that while he will be leaving his full time role he will still be acting as a "strategic advisor" to the firm. Not bad work if you can get it.
"In a few weeks, I'll be joining the team at Pixazza as Chief Revenue Officer and Head of Publisher Development," Edwards said.
"While I'm handing off daily management responsibilities, I'll stay on as a strategic advisor to Digg. In that capacity, I'll be helping with Digg's ad platform strategy."
Williams stated that he hoped the 37 percent reduction in staff would ultimately help preserve the site:
"We've considered all of the possible options for reduction, from salaries to fixed costs. The result is that, in addition to lowering many of our operational costs, I've made the decision to downsize our staff from 67 to 42 people."
"It's been an incredibly tough decision. I wish it weren't necessary. However, I know it's the right choice for Digg's future success as a business. I'm personally committed to help find new opportunities for everyone affected by the transition. Digg's Board members have also offered to help find placements within their portfolio companies," said Williams in his open letter.
"Let's please use today to show our sincere appreciation for our friends and colleagues who will be moving on. Tomorrow, we'll go forward with a new strategy for Digg."
Meanwhile, former CEO Jay Adelsen commented rather unhelpfully at the FailCon conference in San Francisco that "the jury is out" on whether Digg can weather yet another storm under Williams' brief tenure.

Keep Your Profits Without Missing the Next Rally
After the market meltdown in 2008 and early 2009, the big bounce that investors have seen in stocks has given beaten-down investors some relief after seeing their portfolios suffer big losses. But after a year during which stocks have moved up and down sharply without making much overall progress, many are concerned that the next big move for the market may be down, and they don't want to lose all the money they've earned back. To preserve your wealth against falling stock prices, consider buying put options. By owning puts, you can ensure that even if your shares drop in value, you can sell them at the price you pick within a certain period of time.
Time to take profits? One concern about put options is that they can get pricey for volatile stocks. When demand for protection increases, especially during shaky times for the stock market like we saw earlier this year and during the market meltdown, you'll pay more for puts. To measure how much options cost, options experts look to the S&P 500 volatility index, or VIX. While the VIX went to unprecedented high levels during the financial crisis and was relatively high as recently as May, it's now much lower, near a 52-week low. Thus, if you want to protect your stocks and lock in the gains in your portfolio, then you can do so now without spending as much as you would have to buy puts earlier in the year.
Which option you pick depends on how long you want protection and how willing you are to give up some of your profits. You'll pay more to buy puts with more time until expiration, puts on volatile stocks, and puts with higher strike prices. Take care of how much you spend on puts because you may end up not needing that protection at all.
Buying peace of mind:- Conceptually, put options are a lot like an insurance policy. If your stocks fall, paying a relatively small amount to limit your losses may well be worth it. If, however, shares rise or even stay flat, you would lose the entire premium you paid on most of the options listed above. In fact, if your option's strike price is below the stock's current value, you could actually see your shares drop and still suffer a complete loss on your put option.
Even though they're cheaper than they were during the financial crisis, puts are expensive enough that you don't want to count on them as a permanent fixture in your portfolio. As you can see from the examples above, you can easily pay between 3% and 8% of the stock price for protection from a drop of more than 10% and even those options last for only a few months. Still, if owning a put makes you feel more comfortable staying invested in the market, then your future gains could well make what you spend on puts look like chump change.

Centrally located on the banks of the River Liffey, and just a five minute stroll from Dublin's main thoroughfare, O'Connell Street, EPIC the Irish Emigration Museum is located in the beautiful vaults of the iconic CHQ building, which dates from 1820. This state-of-the-art visitor experience, designed by the multi-award winning team who developed the Titanic Belfast, tells the story of the Irish people's dispersal throughout the world. Following a path through 21 remarkable galleries, using cutting edge interactive technologies, visitors will explore the journey of a people through four thematic groups: starting with an introduction to migration and the arrivals and departures that shaped Ireland, and going on to explore why people left Ireland. The exhibition continues to bring insight into how the Irish influenced the world in politics, business, science, sports and the arts. Finally, it shows where the Irish overseas are now and what they are doing in today's highly connected world. This is the authentic and epic story of 10 million journeys and the roots of 70 million people that is both richly entertaining and informative.

A mysterious race from an alternate universe has allied itself with the Jotunn, and the alliance is set on destroying the Aesir and bringing about Ragnarok. With an ability to jump between universes and unstoppable time-based weapons, the Efreet seem invincible. The Vella Gulf is the only ship to survive its first meeting with the Efreet, but only through a fluke of luck.
Worse, Lieutenant Commander Shawn "Calvin" Hobbs has just found out the Efreeti home world is the same planet in their universe as Terra is in ours. If true, the Efreet could cross into our universe at any moment and annihilate the Earth without any warning. Terra lies defenseless!
Calvin and the crew of the Vella Gulf have a surprise for the Efreet, though; they have returned to Terra with the ability to cross between the universes like their enemy. Armed with personal transporters and jump modules for their ships, they're now able to take the fight to the Efreet. But will they be in time to prevent Terra's annihilation?
As the Efreet continue their inexorable onslaught on all fronts, Calvin only knows one thing. The answers to all of their questions lie beyond the shroud of the universe.

Each year Consumer Reports April issue of its magazine releases the list of best vehicles for the money - and the worst. Best of Value, you could call it.
Based on a mix of how well a vehicle performs in the magaine's tests and also the anticipated reliability of the model line, it's beginning to look like the foreign manufacturers are always going to be taking the top spots.
The message? Detroit still hasn't been able to unseat whoever is at #1. This year it's Honda.
On a company-wide approach, Honda is in first place for value, closely followed by Subaru and then Toyota, who has been upended by its seemingly neverending parade of recalls and bad press. Each of those brands includes their luxury version ("Toyota" includes its Lexus and Scion brands, for instance).
Next comes Volvo and then the first American-built brand, Ford. And worst? That dubious honor falls to Chrysler this year. But just ahead of it are General Motors, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen.
Now, the specific models ranked for being best value.
Best small car value is the Honda Fit Sport while the worst one is the Chevy Aveo5.
Best family car value is the Toyota Prius while the worst is the Chevy Impala.
Best upscale sedan value is the Acura TSX while Buick Lucerne hits the bottom.
Best luxury sedan value is the Hyundai Genesis. That's right. It's a Hyundai. They've come a long way baby. And Hyundai vehicles even look good - a far cry from the ugly things they first shipped to the US market. And the magazine ranks the BMW 750Li as the worst in value luxury sedan.
Best sporty car value is the Mini Cooper while Porsche 911 Carrera S is the worst. You couldn't get much further apart on the sports car spectrum than that.
The best value in a wagon or minivan model is the Mazda 5 Grand Touring while Kia's Sedona EX pulls up in the rear.
The best small SUV value is the Toyota RAV4. American-branded Jeep Liberty Sport falls at the bottom.
And last, the best value in a midsize SUV is the Hyundai Santa Fe GLS while the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara trails the pack.
Consumer Reports meanwhile tagged the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Avalanche as the best sporty car and pickup truck.
But if you check out the price and the cost of owning a car, according to Consumer Reports this is the best and worst values for your money.
Now, on a "lemon" scale, we see more Ford truck lemons than any other kind. There are lots of F-series trucks out there and apparently lots of them have defects.
It used to be that Kia was known as the Yugo of its day but ever since they teamed up with Hyundai, the styling and the quality have only climbed. Still, when we look at the worst value list from Consumer Reports, we can't say that any of the cars on it are the most common lemons we see.
So think it over before you go car shopping next time. In these economic times, getting the best value is important. More than anything else, what the the Consumer Reports list says is that price may have very little to do with getting a good value for your money.

Okay, there is a little bit of crying. At least for me anyhow, and I'm not really a crier. But as I said before–this whole weight loss/get healthy journey just brings me to it. There's a crazy amount of emotion involved. Been through it? Then you know what I'm talking about! So yeah, sometimes right after I leave the gym, I cry because I can't believe where I am at this point in my journey and how far I've come. You know, happy tears.
But then, sometimes right after I leave the gym, I cry because I'm so pissed at myself for not knowing more about weight lifting. I mean, I'm a certified trainer. I dropped a good bit of cash and spent a good bit of time studying to get those initials after my name–I want to be worthy of them. Last Tuesday, I didn't feel worthy at all. Cue the non-happy tears.
It's been quite apparent to me that book smarts about personal training and
street gym smarts about personal training are two very different things. I've known this for a while and I'll be the first to tell anyone that where strength training, muscle building and weights are concerned, I'm learning as I go. I try to soak up every bit of information I can get from Bodybuilding.com, Oxygen Magazine, and Muscle and Fitness Hers, fellow bloggers that know their sh*t about the weight room, and from {secretly} watching the trainers at my gym.
I knew making a transition from a Cardio Queen to an Iron Maiden was going to take some work, but I felt like I was doing okay so far. After all, I must be doing something right because in the three months since I've joined the gym and began weight lifting my body looks light years better than it did from 12 months of running in 2012. {SERIOUSLY–why didn't I start weight training sooner??? Can we chat about that?! I'll save that for another post.} So while I knew it wasn't going to be easy, I thought I've been doing it all right–especially my exercises. There's only so much you can tell about form from a magazine, so I make sure to watch videos on YouTube {again, from peeps I trust} to see if I'm doing the workouts correctly.
So last Tuesday, while I'm feeling all confident, kicking butt right through my workout, looking all fly in my Hurts So Good tank top and legwarmers, imagine how wet behind the ears I felt when a trainer stopped me mid-work on the assisted pull-up machine to call me out. It went like this:
Trainer: {shaking his head and motioning to me to take out my headphones} No. No…you're going going to hurt yourself. All that floppin' around. You're seriously going to pull your shoulder. That's not how to do it. Let me show you.
Me: {removing headphones} But I like doing it this way–it gets my heart rate up. [ And now my heart rate really IS up as I can see a few people turning to look at us and listen in–acccckkkk embarrassing!] I think it is the Kipperling. Kiplinger. Kippie. Kip–
Trainer: You mean Kipping and that's some Crossfit sh*t. Yeah, don't do that. {He then proceeds to get on the machine to do me how to do the assisted pull-up correctly} See–controlled. No flopping. No using any other muscles to help you pull yourself. Look straight ahead. Good posture. Leg/knees straight.
Me: {punching him in his bicep which is bigger than my head} Of course it's all easy and controlled for you. You've got guns!! {He then gives me the "I mean business" look, so I pipe down. He makes me try it–the RIGHT way–and then approved.}
I thanked him for his help–he really is an awesome trainer and is the one that gave me my first tour/tutorial when I first signed up at the gym–and he went off to work with his client. I just felt dumb. This seemed like it was one of the simplest machines in the gym and I was even doing THAT wrong? Argh. I then performed some more of the assisted pull-ups the correct way and was sooooo happy that the machine was facing the wall. The tears were coming.
Was this a reason to start to well up? Umm, no. So I stopped myself almost as quickly as I started boo-hooing. I was like, "For real, Cherie? Pull up your big girl panties and accept the constructive criticism for once. He HELPED you. He could have just kept on walking by and never said a thing. Maybe making fun of me in his head or grouped up with the other trainers across the room. But he didn't. And by him helping me, I become better. A better weight trainer and just a better trainer period. I wanted to scurry out of the gym right after this, but I didn't. I finished the rest of my workout and made sure to find him on my way out that night and THANK HIM.
It would have been easy for me to take the next day off. Though I was almost over the whole thing, I somehow felt embarrassed still. He knows I'm a trainer…did he think I was a complete idiot? But of course I still went to the gym and marched right in to get to work. Shortly there after he spotted me. He came over, put his large arm around me and gave me a side hug. JEEZE. Did he have ESP, too and know that I was feeling sheepish?!! Anyhow, I tried to take the upperhand and mention the whole sitch first, "Thanks again for yesterday. I told you I was a Cardio Queen. Well, reformed anyhow. Just let me know if you see me doing anything else wrong, okay?" He said he would, punched me on the arm, and sent me on my way. I yelled out, "Thanks! I mean, I can't pay you of course, but thanks!"
So yeah, I don't know everything, which I already knew. But I love, love, love learning. And good grief do I love when someone calls me out. Though I may not like it at the time, lol, in the end I'm better for it. I feel surrounded by "Yes men" {and women} at times, so this was a refreshing change. Change is good.
If you see someone with horribly bad form, do you say anything? How do you feel when someone corrects you?

Bump so people can see this, and request for sticky, this is a brilliant idea for the community.

not sure if i should post here or mail you,
still i post:
getting this error when opening the registration email (firefox9)
A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1054

Hmm this has been reported before but I haven't found the issue. I'll try to fix it. For now, please try filling in the number in the email on the site (you can copy/paste it).
EDIT: actually I found the problem, and fixed it. The link should now work Was a browser compatibility issue.
Thanks for the report
---------- Post added 2012-02-05 at 05:34 PM ----------
BTW: made a Twitter account and added a button to the homepage so you can keep up with the latest
I'll be posting whenever big changes are made from now on.

Another bump and sticky request because the idea and execution are both awesome !
You may want to not show this detailed error information to users.. it leads to problems Just mention that something went wrong, and log the error.
I went to the site yesterday to give this a test and signed up for a raid. It went really well, made some new friends from another realm, had some fun and agreed to go again next week. Once the raid finished I was able to rate the players I grouped with from the site. This was my first raid so far from the site and I think it has great potential, looking forward to my next run. Give it a try
Last edited by zephiris; 2012-02-05 at 11:11 PM.
looks awesome but cant find any raids im eligble for?! When I do a specific search I see plenty hat m ilvl, spec apply to!
NVM, you should add in when you first valify your account to add RealID or you cant find any raids ><
Considering you're from holland and a developer, I assume you know www.tweakers.net, they use a similar system (albeit far more complex I bet).
I've always said the dungeon finder needs a similar system...
Amazing, Thank you
Was just looking for something like that
Perhaps you could add an option to make an event recurring, so ppl dont have to keep on making the same raids everytime if they are going to do it on a weekly basis
If anyone's intersted i made a raid for achievement runs ( naxx / ulduar / ICC ) etc should be doable through cross realms
Last edited by O 2; 2012-02-06 at 08:24 AM.
I didn't really try to find solution but is there a reason I can't attend any of the raids while my char surely matches all the requirements?
Requires registratation for even "readonly" access.
You are loosing A LOT of potential users because of it.
Personally I just closed the page when I realized that there is no way to use it without registration. And believe me, I was one of the many.

And it doesn't find anything ;> Added lvls etc, didn't help.. did i miss anything?
The plan is to add a comment system for users as well.
Thanks everyone for all your feedback! We're working hard to improve OpenRaid, and before we launch we're going to have a lot more. Over the weekend we added a lot of functions already, but all ideas are welcome! Check it out over the next few days, it's improving a lot every day.

For those who asked: right now it's possible to sign in as guest! For those that were sceptical - try it out. Remember that this is a rough feature still as it's new and this is still a beta.
The followlist is indefinitly empty as you can't write (this is a dummy account), I'll think of something funky for that later. But you can browse raids, characters, etc. Check it out! You don't have to fill anything in, it's a link on the homepage.

Embrace the Shredder
By Brianna Snyder/Life@Home
If you're like me, you haven't given much thought to just throwing away your junk mail. I don't own a shredder. And if the junk mail in question is, say, a credit card offer with some more personal information in it? I just rip it apart and consider my responsibilities met. I hope you're not like me. And if you are, we both need to make some big changes.
Catherine Gonzales, an Albany-based CPA, has been in accounting since 1969. She's shredded her fair share of documents. And she's not slowing down, even if paper documents diminish as people and business begin to favor electronic recordkeeping.
"I think people should shred a lot more," Gonzales says. "If you have a paper trail, it's only easier for somebody to get hold of that information and use it to steal an identity."
Bruce Wagner, who practices family law in Albany, says clients should hold onto their important documents (such as tax returns) for up to 10 years — maybe even forever. But anything with your name, address, birthday, and — this is the big one — your Social Security number should go through the shredder before reaching the garbage.
Eva Velasquez, CEO of the Albany Identity Theft Resource Center, agrees. Every year, she gets calls from tens of thousands of people who say their identity has been stolen. "With all the attention we're paying to online data breaches and that medium, we're losing a little bit of these low-tech best practices," she says. "And they're still relevant."
These three experts gave us a shredder's rundown. Here's what they had to say.
Shred anything with your name and address on it.
"Those address-label stickers that you get? I just shredded those this morning," Gonzales says. "And I don't think I'm paranoid. I think I'm a little bit more cautious, but that's because I've seen clients who've had their identity stolen."
If someone has your name and address, that's enough information to pinpoint you on the Internet. From there, it won't be tough to nail down your birthday. And often birthdays and zip codes are enough to bypass many low-security phone systems and web logins. So just be safe and make sure all those mailers go through The Machine.
Clean out (and shred the documents from) your purse and wallet.
"You would be surprised at how many people still carry their Social Security card in their wallet," says Velasquez. "But you learn that lesson after you lose your purse or it's stolen." Prevent having to go through that difficult lesson by regularly clearing your purse or wallet of stray pieces of paper with phone numbers and addresses on them, old bills or receipts and expired cards.
Get rid of your old insurance cards
"Medical I.D. theft is another form of identity theft that's growing," Velasquez says. "They steal your I.D. and use your insurance benefits." Velasquez says this is an "insidious" crime and that the consequences can be dramatic: not only can it put you in a challenging financial situation, but it can also mess up your medical records. That can be dangerous and extremely difficult to untangle, Velasquez says. So slice and dice those insurance cards rather than giving them to the kids to play Credit Card with (as my mom used to do with us when my brother and I were younger).
S.H.R.E.D.: What's that spell?
Eva Velasquez, CEO of the Albany Identity Theft Resource Center, suggests this simple mnemonic device: S.H.R.E.D., which stands for:
Strengthen passwords
Handle personal identification information with care
Read your credit reports annually
Empty your purse or wallet
Discuss these tips with friends
What kind of shredder should you buy?
Our experts say the likelihood of an I.D. thief going into your garbage and reassembling strips of shredded information is pretty low. But it's not impossible. For the most safety, our experts recommend a "crosshatch" shredder — the kind that turns your documents into confetti.
Fact: 9,000 people contacted the Albany Identity Theft Resource Center for help in a case of identity theft in 2012.

Sadly, Jigsaw is riddled with repetition that brings you close to the point of insanity.
Summer is upon us. And because last summer was so awesome, this one must top it. Therefore what I must do first—before thinking about vacation plans, swimsuits and tans—is find the soundtrack to kick my summer off right. So naturally when I come across an email about Lady Sovereign's new album, I had to have a listen. The first few songs, including the two singles "So Human" and "I've Got You Dancing," are fun to listen to once or twice; the rest of the album is a bit of a letdown.
At first listen I am instantly reminded of MIA; almost too much so. But I let it go since I like the British-meets-American-style feel. Kicking off the album is a song titled "Let's Be Mates," which you could go ahead and skip. The constant repetition and less-than-original beats—on top of the fact that you can't quite understand anything she says but the line "I'm weird and you're weird/ Let's be mates"—isn't worth your "weird" time. Next up is "So Human," the second single. Sampling recognizable beats is the only thing fun about this song…which, I think, is a problem today, since artists are creating "hits" from sampling older songs that are way better than the songs they are sampled into. The title track here is the only song on the album that I really like. The refrain, "My heart is like a jigsaw puzzle/ Pick it up and fix it for me" is the most heartfelt lyrics throughout the whole album; here and here alone, the emotions portrayed in this song are relatable.
The first single "I've Got You Dancing" is the one track I didn't like at first, but it started to grow on me. The mix of beats is woven together in a way that works. The lyrics have a bit of the same problem the rest of the album has: you can't quite understand most of them. That aside, I think it is an upbeat and fun song. It is perhaps one of the two tracks by Lady Sovereign I will throw on a "(insert ridiculous mix name) summer playlist" on my iPod.
Sadly, Jigsaw is riddled with repetition that brings you close to the point of insanity, and beats that are either recycled or so generic they shouldn't be recycled. Despite the fact that Lady Sovereign is a bit of an acquired taste, the amount of times it takes to acquire the taste will most certainly make you hate the album. Recommended for those who either like Lady Sovereign already or those who don't know what good hip-hop actually sounds like. D | Kate Nelson

June… for our friends from down under, the challenge of facing winter has arrived… cold and shorter days, and wishes to be elsewhere like Bali is present in the mind. Then in the northern hemisphere, summer has arrived yesterday, warm weather, unfrozen lakes and campfire time.
Here in Bali, well… the sun still gets up at about 6:00 and goes down at about 18:30, the weather is almost the same, just a little cooler, windier and less humid! The kites are filling the clear blue skies and the Balinese kids are happy…more over, they are now on holiday!
Since the beginning of the year, we have not stopped much, 2010 is busy, altogether 45 retreats and we are grateful to welcome people from all over.
In August, Kumara will open its doors for families and in November, Iyan and I will lead an Escape the World retreat in Thailand!
Wishing you a good summer and a good winter!

Recollections of the JACKSON COUNTY Indiana poorhouse
|Since none of this has been confirmed in my adulthood,
this must be considered as a recollection or anecdote.
I remember, during the 1940's (I was born in '38), knowing about the Poor Farm in Jackson County, Indiana. We lived in Seymour, but the Poor Farm was at the county seat, Brownstown, a smaller, but older, town. I think that the Poor Farm was located adjacent to(or nearby) the county fairgrounds. The county fair was referred to as the "Jackson County Free Fair", as opposed to the state fair, which charged admission.
The man whom I remember as having been the "head" of the farm (probably the administrator) was named "Zibe" McMahon, and was said to be a fine judge of horseflesh. He participated in the trotting races annually at the fair, and in regional events. I don't know if the inmates of the poor farm took care of his horses or not -- perhaps the horses were county property.
The residence stays in my memory as a huge old red brick Victorian mansion. Whether it had been a private residence or not, I don't know. For some reason, my Grandfather sometimes visited Zibe McMahon and took me along.
There -- that's not much, but it's all I know.

Interview: Timothy Hutton of Leverage
With the start of the second season of Leverage just a few weeks ago, star and Oscar-winner Timothy Hutton participated in a conference call recently to discuss what we can expect to see in the second season from the team and his character, Nathan .
In the first episode, the team reunites, and Nathan is having a hard time, as he isn't sure if that's what he wants to go back to again, yet with them to do one more job, he realizes he misses them.. In Boston. he's quit drinking, and has put a lot of things behind him, tying up a lot of his emotions. As far as the drinking goes, the second season was all about staying off the bottle, and drinking allows him to self-medicate and escape, and represents something terrifying to him, that feeling of getting out of control or getting lost. He replaced what the bottle did for him in the first season with the need to be in control, to the point of being too much, and it's cause for concern with the rest of the team.
Hutton refers to the relationship of Nate and Sophie as being quite complicated, due to the arrival of his ex at the end of the last season, as it made Sophie realize she's "investing a lot of time and energy into a man that has a lot of complicated baggage." At the beginning of this season we'll see those feelings surface, and by the seventh episode of the season, Nate and Sophie's relationship will come to a very interesting place.
Timothy agrees with a caller that maybe some of the success of the show is caused by what's happening in the world today, yet he thinks taking down the people that have ripped you off is one that's always been done, yet it resonated more now because some of the storylines are ripped from the headlines. They're doing a story this year on a guy that's on house arrest, and the team needs to get into his penthouse apartment the only time he's allowed to leave, similar of course to Bernie Madoff. He calls the writers "absolutely giddy" with some of the storylines they came up with this year.
Although he plays a character on Leverage who is out for revenge, Hutton doesn't recall ever feeling that way much himself. He jokes even if he's run off the road, he knows it always happens at the worst time, such as when he's late for something, yet even then he hasn't felt the need for revenge. And while he's had family members wronged in some way, he hasn't exacted any revenge, although he does wish he had a Leverage team to go to. Hutton figures everyone has felt that feeling of getting ripped off.
Hutton's character Nate isn't just out for revenge, as he's also the mastermind behind the team. The other team members all play a specific part as well, grifter, hacker, fighter, and thief. I asked Hutton if he couldn't be the mastermind, which one of these other integral pieces of the team would he want to be. He called it a fun question, and thought the character of Parker, the thief (Beth Riesgraf) was the most like Nate, knowing how to get in and out of every situation, and being just a little crazy. The others would be fun as well, especially Elliot the fighter (Christian Kane), or as Hutton referred to him, "The Badass MoFo."
Nate doesn't seem to bare many similaraites to Hutton, who just sees his character as a pretty exhaustive person. To have to control everything and have the answer to everything, and not be an open book, is interesting to play, but he's not much like that himself. Hutton looks more forward to being with people and talking to them about their experiences. He isn't as cautious and closed off. Ford is all about the work and getting it done a certain way.
Hutton has a done a lot of directing, so I wondered if there were any plans for him to direct any episodes of Leverage. He tells me that's not something he wants to do, as he's in a very happy place, just playing Nate, and being part of that team. The offset dynamics, chemistry, and relationships between the five of them, he feels are very solid right now and they enjoy being around each other. He doesn't know if he would want to step outside of what is feeling so good right now. They've had such good directors so far on the show anyway.
Looking at the fact that there are currently a lot of film actors on TNT right now, such as himself, Jada Pinkett Smith, Kyra Sedgwick, and Holly Hunter, it was posed to Hutton that perhaps the stigma of TV vs. movie actors has been lifted. He hasn't noticed a stigma, though, personally, remembering himself doing a number of TV movies before his Oscar-winning role in Ordinary People. He's never felt there was a difference and has always gone back and forth between the two mediums. He did the Nero Wolfe thing as well as a year on Kidnapped, and to him he looks at the material more than anything else.
Winning the Oscar at such a young age, I considered that it may have had some type of profound mark on the type of work that Hutton is offered and how he plays those roles. He answered the second half of the question, saying he did everything he could to put that experience of winning the Academy Award behind him and to only associate it with a movie, and not a career. He certainly didn't feel he was in any more of a position to know what he was doing after his award than he was before it. He always approached each new role with a fresh look, and any awards he received had to be left behind. They were certainly enjoyed, but not brought int the future work.
Hutton compares it to a tool kit, saying that tool kit shouldn't change over the time you have it, and if you win trophies, you don't put the in the tool box, as they aren't tools. It would seem with that statement like he just let a little of Nate out of the box.

The only network wide service I may run on the machine that provides my KDC is time service. Running anything else complicates securing the machine. Since it is the only service the machine is for, and kerberos is something where having good time is important, having it start after ntpd/ntpdate/whatever is a good thing, although it should adjust. Clients will not be able to use the KDC until they're within 5 minutes of whatever time the KDC thinks it is, though. Even at home, where I am less free with throwing machines into service for one thing only, my KDC runs on its own machine. -Tracy

On the clock: UW hosts Michigan State Tuesday night
Madison – Ryan Evans paused for a few seconds, uncertain about the topic of a reporter's question:
"So do you think they have the clocks in sync this time?"
Evans finally remembered what happened last season when Michigan State visited the Kohl Center.
"I glanced at the tape a couple times," he said after practice on Sunday. "It was the right call."
Evans grabbed an offensive rebound near the basket late in overtime, dribbled out to the three-point line on the right wing, turned and banked in a shot that appeared to beat the clock to forge a 63-63 tie and force a second overtime.
Not quite.
The clock on the backboard hit 00 before Evans released the ball. The clock on the LED ring beam behind the basket was two-tenths of a second slower, which made it appear Evans' shot was off in time.
"I think they got it taken care of last year," Evans said with a laugh.
The officials reviewed replays of the shot and correctly ruled Evans did not get the shot off in time and Michigan State escaped with a 63-60 overtime victory.
"By rule, we have to go by the clock that is on the backboard," referee Pat Driscoll said at the time. "I don't know why there would be different (times) – it could be satellite, electronic, whatever – but by rule we have to go by the clock that is attached to the backboard.
"In our review on the monitor, the clock clearly showed zeros while the ball remained in the Wisconsin player's hands."
UW officials determined the backboard clock, linked directly to the scorer's table, was working properly. They also noted the delay on the LED ring beam clock was normal because the data is relayed from the scorer's table to the equipment that produces the images on the ring beam.
The game took place Jan. 3 last season. No other similar situations have occurred since at the Kohl Center.
The Spartans play at UW at 6 p.m. Tuesday on ESPN.
"I have nothing to do with that," UW associate head coach Greg Gard joked when asked about the game last season. "It was the right call.
"I went back through the tape the next day. It was the right call."

Every Monday, we will be compiling a poll of local media members to rank the top 10 boys and girls basketball teams in San Francisco. Feel free to make your own rankings and discuss ours in the comment section. Voters include SanFranPreps.com staff, Mitch Stephens from SFGate.com and Maxpreps.com and Dylan Kruse from the San Francisco Examiner.
1. St. Ignatius (12-2, last week's ranking: 1)
After a disheartening loss to Pinewood two weeks ago, the Wildcats only appear to be getting better, with three very good wins against St. Patrick/St. Vincent (8-7), Notre Dame (9-5) and Presentation (10-4) last week.
2. Sacred Heart Cathedral (8-4, last week's ranking: 2)
The Irish played only one game last week, but they left a considerable impression, routing Valley Christian (8-5) by 41 points.
3. Lowell (12-3, last week's ranking: 3)
The Cardinals handled their first two AAA opponents ISA (1-4) and Galileo (5-7) with relative ease earlier in the week, but fell by double digits to Santa Rosa (9-4) in a non-league game on Saturday.
4. Mercy (12-1, last week's ranking: 4)
The Skippers dominated rival Mercy-Burlingame to wrap up their non-league schedule, but we'll get a real sense of how good they are when WBAL play begins this week.
5. Bay (10-4, last week's ranking: 5)
The Breakers escaped against a solid International (8-4) team, then cruised against Gateway (0-8) to open up their BCL Central season.
6. Washington (8-8, last week's ranking: 7)
The Eagles move up a spot after lopsided wins over Jordan and Balboa in AAA play last week.
7. University (6-6, last week's ranking: 6)
The Red Devils drop a spot even though they evened their record with wins over Galileo (5-7) and Leadership (2-11)
8. Convent (4-8, last week's ranking: 8)
The Cubs lost their only game last week against Half Moon Bay (5-6), but their record should improve as the BCL West season progresses. Still, the Cubs are 1-7 against teams with winning records.
9. Wallenberg (6-4, last week's ranking: 10)
The Bulldogs move up a slot after winning their AAA opener against Burton (2-11) last week.
10. Lincoln (6-6, last week's ranking: NR)
The Mustangs improved to .500 with AAA wins over Mission (3-7) and Jordan, re-entering the Top 10 after falling out last week.
Also receiving votes: International (8-4)

One night in Tokyo, four healthy teenagers die one after another of heart failure. Intrigued by the coincidence, a journalist investigates and learns of a videotape that the four watched together a week before dying. Amid a series of bizarre and frightening images is a warning that the viewer will die in exactly one week unless a certain act is performed. The description of the act, of course, has been erased from the videotape, and the journalist's work to solve the mystery assumes a deadly urgency.
Ring is not only a chillingly told horror story but also a shrewdly intelligent and subversive commentary on the power of imagery and contagious consumerism. A blockbuster movie in Asia as well as a hit DreamWorks remake, the novel sold almost 3 million copies in Japan. Ring is the thriller that spawned the entire J-horror craze.
Though there is a Ring 2 movie, it has nothing to do with Koji Suzuki's story. The real sequel, an avidly-awaited follow-up to the epoch-making Ring, is the acclaimed Spiral, in which Suzuki folds the story back on itself, reinterprets it, and adds levels of complexity, science, and horror. The Ring virus is mutating, and Ando, a medical doctor, must choose between possibly betraying his species and bringing back his drowned son. You don't know what the Ring is yet…
In Loop, the trilogy's mind-blowing conclusion, you know even less as the very reality of the Ring/Spiral world is questioned. The real world is the unreal in this highly cerebral metaphysical thriller.

JDEVIL commands the underworld. Sliding into the shoes of this nefarious DJ alter ego, the legendary KORN frontman Jonathan Davis conjures up entrancingly evil electro. Teaming with cutting edge label Dim Mak, JDevil will release his debut single "SPIKE IN MY VEINS" featuring Noisia this summer (details TBA).
DJing since Davis was 16 years old (years before he was to ever become one of the most notorious faces in rock), JDevil's sound is a natural progression from KORN's tenth offering, 2011's The Path of Totality. The album saw the band collaborate with dubstep pioneers Skrillex, 12th Planet, Datsik, Excision, Downlink, Kill the Noise, Noisia, and Feed Me. It yielded two hit singles with Skrillex, "Get Up!" and "Narcissistic Cannibal," along with Kill the Noise on the latter, and was met with critical and fan adoration. In the meantime, he unleashed his first formal remix, a gut-wrenchingly catchy take on Hollywood Undead's "Hear Me Now," released as part of American Tragedy Redux. DJ gigs consisted of plays at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, HARD HOLY SHIP! in the Bahamas and I Love This City San Diego. It was time to bring JDevil to the studio.
Says the JDevil, "My DJ persona just represents indulgence. Do what you want, have fun and live your life–as long as you're not hurting yourself or anybody. I'm excited as hell to be working with Steve Aoki and the entire Dim Mak crew for the release of my EP later this year."
JDevil is another side of the enigmatic singer who thrives on chaos and contradictions. He may reside in the darkest corners of Davis's psyche, but he's always ready to party. He may be spinning dance music on stage, but he lets out catastrophic screams at all the right moments. He may have black eyes and teeth, but he's as close to Davis's heart as it gets. His DJ sets opens up the door to the ultimate celebration inside of the inferno. Are you ready?
Check out the JDevil in action from I Love This City San Diego this past May:

Thanksgiving weekend is upon us in Canada. All around the country, families are getting ready to celebrate the holiday weekend with family (and eat lots and lots of food!) Many people look forward to celebrations like Thanksgiving as they bring them together with family members that they may not see as often as they would like to the rest of the year.
However, if you're the one hosting a big family dinner this Thanksgiving, instead of looking forward to celebrating you may be filled with worry and stress as you make lists of everything you need to do – planning the menu, grocery shopping, cleaning, rearranging furniture, decorating and on and on…
If your Thanksgiving plans include preparing a big meal with all of the fixings, the best way to avoid getting overwhelmed and stressed out is to delegate certain tasks. Don't be afraid to ask guests to bring a side dish or dessert for the dinner, always accept all offers to clean up afterwards (even better: recruit volunteers ahead of time) and by all means, be sure to get your kids to help out.
Tweens can be a big help with your Thanksgiving celebrations and preparations. Involving your kids takes some of the pressure off of you, helps them appreciate the amount of work involved and builds self-confidence and life skills.
Here are just some of the many ways to get your tween involved this year:
Prior to Thanksgiving Day:
- clean the house (or one particular room)
- make lists
- help with the grocery shopping
- make decorations
- plan activities for younger cousins
On Thanksgiving Day:
- cooking prep (peeling vegetables, making stuffing, etc)
- set the table
- put up decorations
- greet guests
- serve drinks (non alcoholic ones)
- entertain younger children
- serve food
- clear the table
- help wash or dry dishes
Depending on your tween's interests and skills in the kitchen, you may be able to get them more involved in the cooking or even have them make a dessert ahead of time.
Does your tween help out with your Thanksgiving celebrations? What types of things do they do?
