Etiwanda High School softball standout Hailey Freeman (left) has made a verbal commitment to Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Ariz.
Grand Canyon had been an NCAA Division II school but recently made the jump to Division I and has forked a lot of money into new athletic facilities.
Freeman, a third baseman who will be a junior in the fall, helped the Eagles to a second place showing in the Baseline League last spring as a sophomore.
She picked that school over Northeastern State and Southern Utah, after visiting the campus last week. It also helps that good friend and teammate Megan Stevens is also going to that school. The two have been playing on the same team since they were 8 years old.
"I was going to wait to decide until maybe the end of my junior year but I really liked it when I went to visit," she said.
She plans to major in criminal justice or forensics.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Allegations of "potential" fraud in Florida's early learning programs have served as the basis for repeated attempts at a legislative cure – including this year – but are melting away under scrutiny by investigators.
A December 2011 report by the state Office of the Auditor General alarmed lawmakers with projections that over a three-year period, parents with children in school-readiness programs could have used as much as $40 million worth of public-assistance benefits for which they were ineligible.
That set the stage for five bills dealing with early learning governance last year, which were merged into one – only to be vetoed by Gov. Rick Scott.
Now a second audit, completed last month, finds that the potential for fraud persists, and lawmakers are again gearing up to fix it – but according to the Department of Financial Services, which received 947 referrals from the Office of Early Learning in 2012, just 54 have been referred to state attorneys, while 539 were reviewed and closed due to lack of evidence. Fifteen were investigated and closed due to lack of evidence. The rest are still in process.
"The early learning coalitions and the Office of Early Learning have zero tolerance for fraud," said Harry Duncanson, the CPA who chairs the Early Learning Advisory Council. "I'm an auditor…It was just very disturbing to me how (the auditor general's report) was worded. While the report had accurate numbers and facts, the mischaracterization of it – especially the omission of some facts – led to a tremendous overreaction and definitely wrong conclusions."
The basis for the referrals was that the parents were committing public-assistance fraud by collecting unemployment benefits while their children were receiving subsidized child care in school-readiness programs.
"We identified potential matches that are potentially indicative of fraud," said Matthew Tracy, who presented the auditor general's report to the House Education Committee on Feb. 13.
But early learning professionals say the referrals ignored expanded eligibility granted by the Obama administration during the recession.
Lauren Faison, outgoing executive director of the Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend, said if the parents' income is low enough, they can qualify for unemployment benefits and subsidized child care as long as they're looking for work.
"When you read the words closely, the auditor general says, "There might be fraud. There is potential fraud,' because (the auditors) don't understand the nuances of our programs," Faison said. "There are real instances where families are eligible for both. But nobody's going to dig down into that data, nobody's going to take a hard look.
"They just hear 'fraud' and they go off on this tangent."
Shan Goff, who took over the Office of Early Learning after its previous director, Mel Jurado, resigned in December, disagrees with this premise.
"(The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) provided guidance that States could amend their definitions of 'working' to include 'looking for work,' " Goff wrote in an email. "Florida did not amend their Child Care Development Fund Plan to include this provision or propose any changes to applicable administrative rules."
But according to Florida's approved 2009-2011 Child Care Development Fund Plan on the Office of Early Learning web site, "Other eligible populations include children who meet one or more of the following criteria: Children of working families whose family income at the time of initial eligibility does not exceed 150 percent of the Federal poverty guidelines and whose parent is deemed eligible for unemployment compensation benefits shall be eligible to receive school readiness services for a maximum of six cumulative months of services under this eligibility category."
Goff acknowledged that, "The use of the term 'fraud' may be an overstatement when describing cases in which funding from both the (school readiness) program and the (unemployment benefits) program was received."
She also noted that referrals to DFS can take as much as two years to resolve.
Another problem is that no one really knows to what extent the two benefits programs overlap, because the early learning system is unable to match the data – as the auditor general's office did – on a computer. There's no technical capacity to do it, because the Early Learning Information System (ELIS) is still not operational.
Goff told the House Education Committee that the early learning coalitions, which coordinate eligibility and service delivery, are "operating basically on paper."
She said ELIS is expected to be operational by September.
Early learning professionals, meanwhile, are frustrated that lawmakers continue to debate governance on what they consider an inflated premise while the state has a waiting list of 75,000 children – with thousands more expected to sign up if new dollars ever reduced the wait.
"The focus has got to be on the child," said Sam Bell, a lobbyist for the Children's Services Council, "the child we're trying to reach who doesn't know his name, who certainly is not going to be ready for kindergarten and certainly is destined to fail unless this program is beefed up and strengthened."

Voluntary Pledges and Commitments
Regional human rights context
Europe, North America and Central Asia comprise 56 countries with different human rights challenges and priorities. OHCHR focuses on the issue of impunity for violations of a broad range of human rights and works with countries to address instances of torture, violence against women and violations of a number of social and economic rights, including housing rights.
It has long been recognized that a sound system of national institutions is a prerequisite for the effective protection of human rights. Every country has its own challenges to face in ensuring its democratic development. In countries that only recently gained independence, the institutions established to support democracy struggle at times. OHCHR seeks to support countries in their efforts to strengthen fundamental democratic institutions that protect human rights, particularly independent and impartial judiciaries and legislatures. OHCHR also assists countries in countering the growing problem of discriminatory and intolerant treatment based on sex, race, ethnic or religious affiliation, disregard for human rights in the fight against terrorism, abuse against human rights defenders and restrictions on freedom of association.
The Office promotes ratification of important legal instruments, such as the Optional Protocol of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and provides training for the legal professions and assistance to national human rights institutions. In implementing these activities, the Office cooperates closely with the UN Country Teams,where these exist, and with the UN human rights mechanisms.
Given OHCHR's limited resources, interaction with existing regional human rights machinery is essential. The Office works with the regional mechanisms of the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to ensure the protection of human rights and to maximize effectiveness. The Office looks forward to seeing how best to cooperate with the European Union institutions in general, and the newly established Fundamental Rights Agency of the European Union in particular, to strengthen the protection of human rights in Europe.
OHCHR is present in Central Asia, the South Caucasus, the Russian Federation and Kosovo. Its field deployment in the region underwent a number of changes in the last biennium. Some of these changes were the result of strategic decisions aimed at re-directing scarce resources to those areas most in need. For example, in 2006-2007 OHCHR completed its technical cooperation project in The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and closed its country offices in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, except for Kosovo. Other changes were prompted by external factors, such as the closing of the UN Tajikistan Office for Peacebuilding (UNTOP).Work in relation to Serbia, Montenegro, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina will be continued largely from OHCHR's Headquarters in Geneva,with support given to national human rights advisers deployed in some of the UN Country Teams in the region.Work in Tajikistan will be carried out by the Regional Office for Central Asia, in collaboration with UNDP and OSCE. In Kosovo, OHCHR will continue its efforts to ensure that human rights are properly addressed in all aspects of governance, current and future.
Following the High Commissioner's visit to Central Asia in 2007 and the expected conclusion of an agreement with the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic for the establishment of a Regional Office for Central Asia, the Office will strengthen its engagement in the countries of the region. The deployment of a human rights adviser in Kyrgyzstan, jointly funded with members of the UN Country Team, is a step in this direction. Implementation of a joint OHCHR/UNDP treaty body reporting project in Turkmenistan is under way and is yielding positive results. The implementation of a comprehensive three-year human rights project will follow as of 2008.
With the deployment of a senior human rights adviser to Moscow at the end of 2007, the Office looks forward to working with the UN Country Team and the Russian authorities and institutions on a programme focusing on the rule of law, equality and tolerance, and education and information on human rights.
In the South Caucasus, the placement of a human rights adviser in Tbilisi, Georgia, in May 2007, has strengthened the Office's capacity to provide advisory and capacitybuilding services to national partners and to UN Country Teams in the region.
OHCHR was, at the time of writing, exploring the possibility of deploying an "Action 2"-funded human rights adviser to the UN Country Team in Albania, in addition to the adviser to be deployed in Moldova. Albania is one of the pilot countries for the "One UN" programme.
In those countries where OHCHR does not have a presence, the Office will continue to follow human rights developments and be ready to advise governments from its Headquarters in Geneva. OHCHR will continue strengthening and formalizing cooperation with regional organizations, including with the European Union, with the aim of joining forces to address some of the main human rights challenges throughout Europe, especially those related to migration, the fight against terrorism and discrimination. Thus, the work of the Special Rapporteurs on contemporary forms of racism and on the promotion and protection of human rights with the European Union and its associated countries in efforts to counter terrorism will be closely followed.
In the South Caucasus, OHCHR will assist in the implementation of the recommendations that emerge from the visits of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression, the Special Rapporteur on torture, and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the human rights of internally displaced persons. In Central Asia, the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers will continue to be used to promote reforms in the administration of justice. In Southeast Europe, the Office will closely cooperate with the Special Representative of the Secretary- General on the situation of human rights defenders and the Special Rapporteur on the right to education in following up on their recommendations.

Everything is an accessory as smartphones rule
- 05 October, 2012 10:30
In the race to create slicker products, mobile phones are the new brains for hire.
At Ceatec, Japan's largest electronics show, the booths are packed with the latest round of "smart" products, from cars that suggest what you should eat to fitness scales that tell you what not to. An increasing number now outsource their intelligence -- processing, user interfaces, access to online services -- to smartphones.
In one corner of the show floor, a large space is devoted to Nissan's self-parking car concept, in which drivers rely on an Android phone to monitor and control a vehicle remotely. A few booths over, Panasonic is showing its smart appliance line, including refrigerators that upload how many times their doors have been opened and air conditioners that can be controlled from outside the home -- again, via a mobile app.
Also featured are smart vacuum cleaners, home security cameras, and even personal thermometers, all of which rely on phones for control and access. Tech companies have long known that their products will one day evolve in this way, according to Mark Raskino, an analyst at Gartner, and the proliferation of advanced handsets has finally provided the means.
"The Internet-of-things story has been around forever, and we've just been waiting for it to happen," he said. "The smartphone has become sort of the lingua franca of the general object, that gets past many of these issues."
When companies bring new products to market, they can now leave out some expensive components, and avoid having to create user interfaces from scratch. Maspro, a Japanese firm whose strength is antennas and wireless signal processing gear, is showing a new business venture, wireless security cameras, at its Ceatec booth.
Its latest camera sends images to its owner via a smartphone, and users can remotely sound an alarm if they see anything suspicious.
"Everyone has a smartphone these days. We can offload a lot of the processing to these phones," said Shintaro Yano, from the company's business development group.
"People already know how to use smartphones, so our product is also easy to use," he added.
Other firms have had to retrench as smartphones undermine their products. Clarion, which makes several lines of car navigation systems, launched a new model earlier this year that relies on the iPhone for many basic features, and the company is showing an upcoming Android version at Ceatec.
The new models cost around ¥20,000 (US$260), roughly a fifth of a traditional system, because they are far simpler, as well as easier to install.
"There is no need for navigation or GPS functions as they are already in the phone. These devices are more for interacting with phones, putting the apps on a larger screen, with speakers and voice interaction," said Yasutaka Oda, a company spokesman.
Offloading such functionality may mean that smart products have a longer shelf life, as they effectively get an upgrade every time their users purchases a new handset. The frenetic pace of innovation in phones currently outpaces that in other products, notes Tadayuki Shinozaki, an analyst at Japan's MM Research Institute.
"Phone specifications will continue to get better, particularly in areas like the main processor," he said.
Smart products will also continue to "check in" after they have been sold, providing manufacturers with a flood of new data about their products and users. In its booth at Ceatec, Omron Healthcare is showing a new line of gadgets for users to check their vital signs, including thermometers, scales and sleep monitors, which sync with phones and upload their health data to Omron's "WellnessLink" service.
As smart features become more common, conflicts are likely to arise between the various business that get pulled into the mix -- electronics manufacturers like Omron, smartphone developers like Samsung Electronics, map and software providers such as Google, and network operators like NTT DoCoMo in Japan.
Toyota is showing its Internet-savvy "Smart INSECT" concept car at Ceatec that tracks a driver's habits to provide destination and restaurant suggestions, with the Internet portion provided by a phone that sits on the dashboard. The concept means, of course, that other players in the chain could have access to data gathered through the car company's innovations.
For this reason, analysts like Gartner's Raskino feel that the reliance of consumer electronics on smartphones may be a temporary phenomenon.
"The smartphone as the single point of control for everything is pragmatic at the moment," he said. "It is possible that the functionality gets reabsorbed back into the objects several years down the line."

Here's my story.
The Crainson family is very old. It goes back to the Megablock wars, were Grane Crainson fought the evil Megablocks from the land. Over the years, however, the family became bad and disobedient to the law. Legend has it that a Crainson killed the king of the continent many years ago. Bruno Crainson's father was a nice man who was honest and hardworking.
The lord of the village, however, got angry with him for his kindness to enemies and hanged his parents. Ever since, Bruno hated the Loreos land, because the lord was working for Loreos. He learned the trade of robbers and became an expert in theft. He is hated and feared by the kingdoms of Loreos and Lenfland. He is also very smart. If he heard of a group of knights coming to the area, he would think of a plan the kill them. It is said that he assassinated the general of the city of Rankof in Eastern Loreos. His home is in the southern mountains, but he roams the land doing jobs for the highest bidder.
No one trusts him though, because he is sneaky and always has a aura of darkness around him.
Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. My camera is not good for pictures of minifigures. Maybe one of you guys will have a solution.
EDIT I'll get the right pictures soon for this challenge. I thought just putting the character by himself would be enough.

Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65), in which a northern Union of states defeated a secessionist Confederacy of 11 southern slave states, and the Great Depression of the 1930s, an economic downturn during which about a quarter of the labor force lost its jobs. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation state. Since the end of World War II, the economy has achieved relatively steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.

Denmark bans energy drinks, I guess because they provide gratuitous amounts of energy or something. What's that got to do with video games? Well, EA Sports MMA is shot through with energy drink ads.
So Denmark was like "slooooooowwwww dowwwwwnnnnn," and EA was like "Fuck you!" and kicked her in the face with its energy legs. (Metaphorically speaking, of course.) Rather than swap out the ads it's just not going to release the game in Denmark.
"We are adhering to laws in Denmark that restrict the use of energy drink product placement in-game, and therefore are not shipping EA Sports MMA in that region," EA told CVG. "Our game authentically recreates the sport of MMA in every facet, including energy drink in-game sponsorships on fighter shorts, gear, and in fight venues."
Basically, EA's already getting paid for that ad space. Pretty sure it would cost them well more than they'd make back in sales if they solicited a bunch of Denmark-safe ads and published a game specifically for that country, population 5.5 million. And I'm also sure Danish MMA fans can find a way to get their hands on a copy when it releases in Europe on Oct. 22.
Seriously, though, what's Denmark's deal with energy drinks?

What percentage would go toward fancy materials? a painstakingly perfect grind? a perfect finish (whatever that might be)? amazing fit of the components? amazing comfort? All of these things take time and time is money right? What's most important to you? For me, I would put 50% or so into the blade function then 15% on materials, 15% on finish and 15% on comfort and then the other 5% wherever needed, maybe.

A Chino man suffered major injuries and is suspected of drunken driving after rear-ending a big rig on the 60 Freeway, which then fled the scene early Saturday, authorities said.
Christopher Oviedo, 20, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and hospitalized in stable condition following the 6 a.m. crash on the westbound 60 Freeway, just east of Fairway Drive, California Highway Patrol Officer Adam Christopher said in a written statement.
He was driving a 2000 Jeep Cherokee at an unknown speed in the No. 3 lane prior to the crash, the officer said. A big rig was traveling ahead of Oviedo in the No. 4 lane.
"For an unknown reason, Mr. Oviedo turned his car to the right and entered the No. 4 lane where it collided with the rear of the big rig," Christopher said.
The Jeep spun out of control and ended up crashing into the metal guardrail along the north side of the freeway, he said. He became trapped in the vehicle and had to be freed from the wreckage by Los Angeles County firefighters.
Oviedo, who was not wearing a seat belt, suffered "major facial injuries," in the crash.
A description of the big rig was not available.
Witnesses were encouraged to contact the Baldwin Park office of the CHP during normal business hours at 626-338-1164. After hours, the CHP can be reached at 323-982-4900.

VANCOUVER -- Three years ago Jenn Dutton was a successful psychiatric nurse, living in a Vancouver suburb with her boyfriend and his two children.
After a rear-end car accident left her with painful whiplash injuries in her back and neck, Dutton's physician prescribed Percocet, an opioid pain reliever. Thus, innocently, began her descent into hell.
"I had a happy life, great family and good, supportive friends and I had never struggled with addiction," she said. "In my car accident I had the kind of soft tissue injuries you'd expect, but I was also diagnosed with a rare chronic pain syndrome, burning mouth syndrome, due to nerve damage in my neck."
At first, Dutton took the recommended dosage of four tablets a day, but she soon began to increase her dosage and — in retrospect — display classic addict behaviour, rationalizing her dependence as pain management.
"The addiction developed quite quickly, probably within a month," she said. "Within two months I was manipulating my doctor, always asking for more. Because my doctor trusted me and because I was a health care professional and I knew what to say and what not to say, after two months I was on the maximum dose allowed, which is 12 Percocets a day."
Dutton is not alone. Around 800,000 Canadians use prescription opioid drugs, such as oxycodone, codeine, fentanyl, morphine and hydromorphone, according to the Canadian Alcohol and Drug Use Monitoring Survey. More than 240,000 Canadians admitted to abusing them in the past 12 months.
Addiction researchers typically estimate that as many as 90,000 Canadians are addicted to heroin and other opioids. Not surprising, since Canada last year displaced the United States as the world's leading consumer of opioids, according to the International Narcotics Control Board.
Like many opioid addicts, Dutton continued to work even in the depths of her addiction, which came to include OxyContin cadged from a friend who no longer needed them.
"I thought everything was fine, but looking back I was only partially present," she said. "For the first month I wasn't taking them during the day because I wanted to be clear-headed for work, but that didn't last very long."
Professional pride and the shame of losing control of her addiction added to Dutton's state of denial.
"I thought, I'm a nurse, I can figure this out, and I was really ashamed to admit I had a problem, that I was struggling," she said. "Even as my injury started to get better, I didn't tell anyone because I knew that would interfere with what I was taking."
Eight months after her accident, Dutton's nerve condition was mostly healed, but she continued to obtain as much Percocet and OxyContin as ever, waking up each morning in withdrawal and struggling to make it to work.
"Doctors need to be really careful as patients request higher doses because (addiction) can come on so quickly," said Dutton. "I feel quite badly for manipulating my doctor now that I am back to being a decent person."
Dutton finally confessed her addiction to her now ex-boyfriend and her mother and they decided to attempt a home cure. She stayed off the pills for about one month."Even though I was in health care I had no idea where to begin looking for help with an opioid addiction," she said. "I thought foolishly that I could take care of it myself."
But once Dutton talked herself into one pill at bedtime, it was only days until she was back to her old ways, taking pills from the moment she woke up until she went to bed.
A few months later, consumed by self-loathing and pondering suicide, Dutton began to look for help online.
"There was nothing out there that told you where to begin and what steps to take," she said. "I Googled everything about addiction."
A word of mouth referral led Dutton to one of the city's few addiction specialists, Dr. Jennifer Melamed, and after two rounds of treatment, she broke free of her addiction.
Melamed was one of several specialists, experts and patient advocates who consulted on the new website opioidrecovery.ca, launched this week by Dr. Joel Bordman, with arm's-length financial support from Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals in Canada.
"We decided it was absolutely necessary to provide something for people struggling with addiction to let them know where to go; there was nothing out there," she said. "When you go online you quickly find other people with addiction who supply all kinds of misinformation."
The website contains self-assessment tools to help people who think they may be addicted — or their families — to recognize the warning signs. There are also descriptions of how detoxification and treatment works, links to support groups and detailed instruction on how get help. A page of specialist doctors is under construction.
"Drug use in the beginning is a choice, but addiction is many ways a disease of insanity, in which people keep making the wrong choices and they don't know how to go anywhere else," said Melamed.
The site is also designed to be a resource for physicians, many of whom have little training in managing or even recognizing addiction in patients, she said.
"Many of the people I see in my practice started off on prescription opioids they got from doctors," Melamed said.
She sees the website as a low-barrier entry point for people who have to reach out for help before they can make a serious attempt at recovery.
"We can't take people by the hand ... it has to be the person in addiction who makes that first step," she explained.

'Building the future on tradition' – the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart is more than just a home for 125 years of automotive history.
The building housing the Mercedes-Benz Museum is an exceptional piece of architecture, which reflects the ideals of originality that lie at the heart of the Mercedes-Benz brand, always striving to create completely new concepts for human mobility. A double helix inside the museum, based on human DNA, symbolises the 'genetic makeup' of the brand. There are two tours available. The route of the first takes in seven 'Legend rooms' that relate the history of the Mercedes brand. From car production pioneers to motor racing icons, you can find out everything there is to know about the remarkable history of Mercedes-Benz. The second tour consists of five separate 'Collection rooms' that showcase the diversity of the brand portfolio from passenger cars to heavy goods vehicles. The 'Fascination of Technology' exhibition provides visitors with a glimpse behind the scenes into the work of Mercedes-Benz employees and towards the future of the motor car. A detailed picture of the Mercedes-Benz brand emerges from over 1,450 individual exhibits, including 160 vehicles, many of them epoch-making, such as the Gullwing from the 1950s and the Silver Arrows. Special exhibitions round off the experience. Take a journey of discovery through the history of the motor car, from its very beginnings 125 years ago to the latest technological visions for the future. Come to Stuttgart and come face to face with the history of mobility!

New and contemporary from the house of bond no 9 in NYC...
I have just received the sample from Harrods London and have worn it all day long...
Gorgeous and unique juice based around strong coffee, cocoa, leather, pepper, patchouli and vanilla notes...I can detect a very sensual gasolin/petrol note which is certainly very much of an 80`s accord...think garage/motorbikes/hot steamy attraction...I truly love this in a modern scent...there is a masculine/androgynous/vampish
Does anyone have any samples to sell, swap from any of the above Bond no 9 scents?
Please get in touch
Thanks very much
Dear everyone,
Does anyone know anything about the latest launch of Bond no 9 "Cooper Square"???
Anyone in US is connected for a run down of the Silver launch???
Thanks Guys...:-)
Dear Friends from Basenotes,
Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a sample of this unknown scent from Bond no 9?
I live in Manchester and won`t be down in London till October 2010 so unable to pop into Harrods till then.
Thanks very much indeed
Kind regards

PureDWTS Season 19 Music Wish List
Normally this list would be a lot longer, but John, Heidi, & Lori all had brain farts on music – leaving Vogue & I to pick up the slack 😉 Here's some of the songs we'd love to hear on DWTS this season…and we want to hear yours! Let us know in the comments what songs you're hoping get used on the show!
"Chandelier" by Sia – This has been on repeat on my iPod all summer. Just a great song for a contemporary routine.
"It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones – I've wished for it before, and now that we finally got Alfonso on the show, I need to see a quickstep to it…or maybe even a quickstep/samba fusion 😉
"Sunglasses at Night" by Corey Hart – My perennial song wish – you guys know this 🙂 Well I wished for Alfonso & got him – maybe Rob Wade will give me my much-anticipated paso doble to this one! 😎
"You & I (Nobody in the World)" by John Legend – While everyone was going crazy over "All of Me" last season, my favorite song off of John's latest album is this one – it's kind of the R&B answer to Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight": a guy telling his lady she's beautiful no matter what, as he watches her get ready to go out at night. And if you haven't seen the video yet, go watch it right MEOW – it's just perfect. If I only see one rumba all season – I want it to be to this song.
"Stay" by Shakespears Sister – Thought about this song last season upon finding out that Candace & Charlie were dancing to Sam Smith's "Stay with Me". It's a pretty old song, but it would make a stellar song for a contemporary routine – hell, I think it would make a fantastic contemporary TRIO song, based on the narrative of the music video. Give it to Derek and watch him work wonders 🙂
"Conjunction Junction" from Schoolhouse Rock – Had an epiphany the other night while watching a documentary about Schoolhouse Rock – how fun would it be if they did a Schoolhouse Rock theme week? This song would make such a fun foxtrot, and would allow the pros to show off a bit more of a playful side.
"All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor – This song is so ridiculously catchy, and my sister and I have a running inside joke about this song and a gif of a dancing honey badger. Just don't ask 😛 Would be a fun cha-cha.
"Love Runs Out" by OneRepublic – A currently-popular song that's actually appropriate for paso doble. So please, producers – no more duds like "Sail".
"Billy Jean" by Michael Jackson – I'd love to see Alfonso bring this song to life as his older self being this is the song he did with Michael in the Pepsi commercial. That could possibly give us a big "Michael Jackson" moment and I love how this show features something by Michael almost every season.
"A Place With No Name" by Michael Jackson – This is my favorite song currently. I'd freak if the pros performed this in a group number. They could bring on Sharna's boyfriend Paul Kirkland to dance as well and help with choreography being he performs in the new Michael Jackson Vegas show.
"Come Get It Bae" by Pharrell – This is another one of my current favorite songs. I don't care who performs it or how….just so they do it. I know Sharna likes this song a lot too.
"Hunter" by Pharrell – Being this song has "Duck Dynasty" mentions, I'd love to see Mark and Sadie dance to this song. Not sure if it's age or lyric appropriate (maybe the band could fix it somehow?), but, it's a great dance song.
"Anything Goes" by Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga – What a beautiful song for a Fox Trot or a Waltz.
"Bailando" by Enrique Iglesias – This would be such a great song for a "Latin" group number. The cast could bring the video to life.
"Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak – What a cool and snappy pop Irish/Hungarian "gypsie" jig. A song like this would make a great mix up to the show. I was hooked the first time I heard it.
"Queremos Paz" by The Gotan Project – This song would be so cool for a Tango or Argnetine Tango. Actually, I'd take anything by The Gotan Project for a Latin number. Ssssssssssss
Now let's hear your suggestions! 😎

Currently the top of the list is taken by Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which is surprisingly enough actually looking very promising.
GW2 and BF3.Also, I'm going to play Mass Effect 3 but since I think BF3 will steal all my time I can't say that I'm looking forward to it as much...
I scare kids!! =P
I thought this would be a fun thread. Talking about all the games that we want that havent come out yet. Here is my looking forward to list: Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, Assassins Creed Revelations, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Modern Warfare 3, and Guild Wars 2.
Diablo III
We're open to such things, we've even talked many times about doing it with Inja, but in a way that's redundant because we can already get Erica

i'm so excited about today's in {her} shoes guest poster. she's my newest bloggie buddy and is quickly becoming a dear friend... the kind you sit and talk over coffee with. Kali blogs over at The Vintage Milk House. right now she has an amazing series on her Adoption story. it's heartfelt and very moving. it looks at Kali, her "Natural" mother, and her "Nurture" mom.
Hey there Crayon Freckle Fans, I'm Kali! I am so excited and honored that Andie asked me to be a part of this series. What an awesome idea for a series! {She rocks!}
I'm a wife to my hubby Greg of almost 8 years, a former businesswoman turned stay at home Mom to 3 little ones -
Wesley (4½), Veronika (2½) and Vanessa (10 mo.)
Wesley (4½), Veronika (2½) and Vanessa (10 mo.)
I've found that blogging at The Vintage Milk House has really given me sense of purpose and self. It serves as my window to the rest of the world and feeds my needs as a people person along with my habit as a crafter/DIYer/writer. I believe it also keeps me grounded and intentional in my parenting.
What's the most challenging part of being the type of mom that you are?
Mastering my juggling skills. We all have to do it. Balance life in a way that makes our homes and families run the smoothest. I didn't start off as a SAHM. I jumped into this thing with 3 crazy kids and the biggest obstacle I face is taking care of this Momma first, everyday, so that I can take care of everyone else. Sometimes that also means getting out of my own head. I have a tendency, as my Hubby would say, to "Over think things". Which lots of times leads to un-necessary worries or extra work. If I take the time every day to get myself in order then I'm less likely to run rapid in my own head and everything else follows much more smoothly.
What's the most rewarding part of being the type of mom that you are?
Catching my kids in the act. For example: Catching my 4 year old "reading" to his baby sister. Listening to my oldest two, solve a problem together, politely. Watching them use their imagination. Finding them helping one another or a friend. Hearing them use their manners in conversation with others...but the biggest part is catching them being themselves. I hope to foster and nurture individuality in all of my children.
When I "catch" my children in the act it serves as a little pat on the back or some days may even be the boost I needed to help me make it through the rest of the day. You know, those days where everyone is fighting, no one is listening and nothing is going as planned? Several times I've "caught" my kids on one of those days and it completely lifts and shifts my priorities. It also reassures me that I must be doing SOMETHINGS right.
What's the most important values that parents can instill in their children?
I believe it is respect. If you think about it respect falls on the feet of all things moral and Godly. Raising your kids to truly be respectful little people means not only respecting others and themselves, but also respecting the values of life concepts. Things like education, spirituality and plain old hard work. Respectful people are mindful of others and their feelings, thoughts and beliefs. To take it a step further if respectful people respect others and life concepts then their minds will be open to SO many possibilities!
How would your children describe you in 3 words?
This is a hard one… I nervously asked my 4 year old Wesley – "Using your words, what sort of Mommy to you think I am?" His response: "Hmm, now that's a hard one Mom. Well, I know I love you AND … you are beautiful! – Is that what you mean?"
I could have just eaten him up there!
He kills me with his verbage'!
He kills me with his verbage'!
I would hope when my children get older they would say I'm creative, energetic and empathetic. But I'm sure they won't actually say that until they are parents themselves!
Thanks Andie for allowing me to be part of such an AWESOME series!

Actor Ryan Gosling is eager to cut down on his busy work schedule so he can settle down and start "making babies."
"The Notebook" hunk, 30, admits he's been putting his career above his personal life for too long, blaming the pressure of Hollywood for his failed romances with "the greatest girlfriends" Rachel McAdams and Sandra Bullock.
He tells Britain's The Times newspaper, "I had two of the greatest girlfriends of all time. I haven't met anybody who could top them…. Show-business is the bad guy. When both people are in show business it's too much show-business. It takes all of the light, so nothing else can grow."
Gosling has since been romantically linked to Eva Mendes, but the actor insists he is "in a committed relationship with film," adding, "I'm giving as much to it as a marriage."
However, the star would love nothing better than to start a family.
He laments, "I'd like to be making babies but I'm not, so I'm making movies. When someone comes along I don't think I'll be able to do both and I'm fine with that. I'll make movies until I make babies. I have no idea when the handover will happen."
Gosling dated Bullock in 2002, while he parted from his "The Notebook" co-star McAdams for good in 2008. The couple enjoyed a brief reunion after initially splitting in 2007 after two years together.

String is up
I didn't plan on putting the new Pocket String up until next month but I couldn't wait.
I put it in the corner of the living room to hold my pottery since it had been put away
to make room for Christmas. Originally I planned to buy another Pocket and hang the
two pieces next to each other in the dining room to hold cookbooks, place mats and
napkins. We received a canvas print of a photo I took a few weeks ago and I sort of like
it in the dining room now. I'm trying to decide if I should leave things as is or
continue with my plan of the two Pocket shelves in the dining room and find another spot
for our canvas photo.
The last of the gingerbread is getting cooked up today and out of the house!

Half-minute Hero needs to sell "a lot more" to secure sequel
Marvellous AQL has admitted that Half-minute Hero 2 won't release in the west unless the first game can demonstrate stronger sales performance.
Marvellous recently asked fans if they'd be interested in seeing the sequel release on PC, but producer Esteban Salazar said the company was merely "trying to gauge interest"
"It's considerably more expensive to put out the sequel and we need to sell a lot more of the first game on PC to begin to justify it," he told Siliconera.
"The best thing fans can do to help along the sequel is encourage their friends to buy the Steam version (or buy it for them) – something that will be a little more appealing during the holidays."
Half-minute Heros is currently on sale on Steam for $5.99, down from $9.99; it was also released on PSP. The light-hearted pick-up-and-play RPG is a firm cult-favourite for its charming pixel art and quirky sense of humour.
Thanks, Destructoid.

Life is a challenge. Despite honour, integrity and knowledge, paths to society's future are not decided by (a perception of) moral high ground, but by the majority – family, friends, neighbourhoods, towns, cities. Everyone has an opportunity, a voice. Decisions that run counter to belief systems happen, sometimes on a grand scale. But change is constant. Nothing is forever. Protest has its place, but not as a mechanism for inciting hatred, fear, refusal of acceptance. Social outcry on the grounds of disappointment, or disbelief, is counter-productive. Not everyone can be appeased. Not every time. We are unique souls.
Despite stark reality, grim realization, and uncertainty, we each choose our own paths forward. We are granted this gift. Our lives, our future, and what we make of them, is not dependent on society's will. Anger, disappointment, resentment arise, but at day's end, we have family, a home, a future.
Others before us forfeited their opportunity. They abandoned their chance to be heard, to vote, to cherish victories or regroup in defeat. Their voices were silenced.
So ours could be heard.
We all have a choice. We remember what we choose to remember. We can focus on past indiscretions, perceived injustices, or how once again an unfair world has victimized us.
Or we can appreciate what we have, and why we have it.
On sacrifices made.
On moving forward.

Rob Lowe and Rashida Jones are leaving Parks and Recreation, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
"The news about Rob and Rashida is true — they will be leaving the show after the 13th episode of the upcoming season six," executive producer Mike Schur said in a statement. "We've been working on their storyline (on and off) for four seasons now, and heading into this year, with the two of them contemplating parenthood, it felt like a natural time to move them into the next phase."
NBC at TCAs: All the latest news
Chris (Lowe) and Ann (Jones) decided in the Season 5 finale that they were going to keep trying to have a baby. "[Ann] still very much wants to get pregnant," Schur recently told TVGuide.com, "so that's going to be a big story for her, about whether or not that can happen, when and how soon, etc."
Jones, who has been a fixture on the series since its debut, most recently co-starred with Andy Samberg in the film Celeste and Jesse Forever (which she also co-wrote) while Lowe stars in the upcoming NatGeo telepic Killing Kennedy as JFK.

Jeb Bush, possible 2016 presidential candidate, supports New Hampshire's Brown for US Senate
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has made a foray into New Hampshire politics, supporting Republican Scott Brown in his campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Bush is a possible contender for the GOP's 2016 nomination for president and dipping a toe into New Hampshire, with its first-in-the-nation primary, is considered a requirement for any presidential hopeful.
On his Twitter feed Monday, Bush posted a photo with Brown, Brown's wife and daughter, and another man taken in Massachusetts, where he was attending a fundraiser.
In the post, the son and brother of former presidents said it was "great" to be with Brown and he was "proud to support his campaign for U.S. Senate."
Brown faces a primary to take on first-term incumbent Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.

Sporting events are usually one of the greatest catalysts to spur a country into expanding its economy and investing in infrastructure, and the 2012 Coupe D'Afrique des Nations, Africa's soccer championship, was no exception for Gabon.
The event, which Gabon co-hosted with Equatorial Guinea, took place against a fiery political backdrop for the African continent and amid great tensions in countries like Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Mali, but it nevertheless gave the Gabonese government a huge incentive to undertake an ambitious public investment program that not only aimed to cater to the event itself, but also set the longer-term goal of transforming Gabon into a diversified economy by 2025, thereby reducing its dependence on its main export: oil.
Even though the West African nation is rich in natural resources including gold, manganese, iron and wood, the country is Sub-Saharan Africa's fifth largest oil producer and still is almost wholly dependent on oil, which makes up 88% of its exports.
And unfortunately for Gabon, the large fiscal surpluses generated by the oil windfalls have shrunk drastically as a result of a decline in revenues partly associated with production disruption in 2012 and the huge increase in capital expenditures over the last three years, said Eric Paget-Blanc, lead analyst covering Gabon for Fitch Ratings.
"If the price of oil were to fall or if production were to suffer further setbacks resulting in a sustained decline in revenues from the oil sector, then the economy would be in serious trouble," he said.
So far, the situation does not seem too dire for Gabon, a country that investors consider more politically stable than many others in Africa and that in 2007, issued a very popular 10-year sovereign Eurobond that restructured its external debt obligations. Investors have also taken note of the large public investment program that will continue to improve infrastructure, as well as the improvement in and the prospects for the overall business environment and the labor market. Non-oil growth is expected to remain robust, according to the most recent review of Gabon carried out by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as new sources of growth emerge, including in Special Economic Zones that have been set up by the government to invite and encourage both private-sector and foreign investment.
"Gabon is beginning to show some signs of being interesting in areas other than hydrocarbons," said Daniel Broby, chief investment officer at the investment firm Silk Invest in London. "The macroeconomic numbers represent no barrier to investment since Gabon's current account surplus may be as high as 10.2% of GDP, but external public debt is an immaterial 13.1% of GDP. However, the next step for the country is still the development of its natural resources—gold, manganese and other metals—and this is important as its oil production capacity is diminishing and peak oil theories abound."
Indeed, as oil production in mature fields continues to decline, analysts expect Gabon's current account surplus to deteriorate over the medium term.
Further exacerbating the situation is that Gabon does not have any real safeguard to protect against any downturn in its oil-dependent economy.
"Even countries like Angola and Nigeria have put in place stabilization funds for a rainy day," Paget-Blanc said, "but although Gabon did create a strategic fund in 2011 to save some of its oil revenues, only a minimal amount has been placed in there, and it is not sufficient to buffer the economy and sovereign profile against oil price volatility."
Although the government's plan to diversify the economy away from oil is the right move for the long term, Gabon still has a long way to go before being able to consider diversification in any meaningful way, and needs to put in the place the proper foundations such as infrastructure, which is sorely lacking in any part of the country besides the capital, Libreville, Paget-Blanc said. Everything needs to be developed from scratch, he says, and while the country is starting to do that, "there is a risk of moving too fast and incurring too much expenditure."
And natural resource wealth aside, Gabon still has a long way to go in terms of improving overall governance and accountability. Indeed, the country ranked 102nd out of 174 nations in Transparency International's 2012 Global Corruption Report.

So f-cking cute.
Jake Gyllenhaal was photographed today in Beverly Hills leaving a medical building. So Jakey, what's your next job? These appointments are usually for insurance and etc before starting work on new projects.
But that's not been our focus lately. The focus lately has been Jakey and Swifty. Oh I would love to be a piece of gum stuck under the dinner table when/if Taylor Swift meets Maggie Gyllenhaal. Maggie G can be condescending and sanctimonious. I love this about her. And in many ways that would be even better. If Swifty writes a song one day about the bitch ass older sister. Please. I'm all over it. Which only means they'll probably act disappointingly civilised and get on really well.
Enough about this though and to your questions about the Love & Other Drugs review. Soon as the media embargo is lifted, I will post. But he is so delightful and so sweet and so hot, SO HOT, in this film, I find it hard to believe you will come out there without some stirring in your lady business. Also, um, he's naked. A LOT. And a really great movie kisser. It's a skill too, you know.

Introduction to C++/CLI Generics
Before version 2.0, the .NET framework supported the Universal Type Container Model, in which objects are stored in a uniform manner. The universal type container in the Common Type System is Object and all types are derived either directly or indirectly from it. Version 2.0 of the framework supports a second model, called the Type Parameter Model, in which the binding of type information associated with an object is delayed, information that can vary from one invocation to another being parameterized. C++ supports this parameterized model for implementing templates. .NET framework 2.0 brings something similar, and it's called generics.
C++/CLI supports both templates and generics for defining parameterized reference and value; and interface classes, functions, and delegates. This article is focused on C++/CLI generics, presented in comparison with templates. Unfamiliarity with templates should not be a problem for understanding generics.
Parameterized List
Type parameters
Templates type parameters are introduced either with the class or typename keyword (there is no syntactical difference):
template <class T> ref class tFoo1 { }; template <typename T>> ref class tFoo2 { };
The same applies to generics:
generic <class T> ref class gFoo1 { }; generic <typename T> ref class gFoo2 { };
The type placeholder (T in this example) is to be replaced with a user-specified type argument. Instantiation syntax is the same, both for templates and generics:
// templates tFoo1<int>^ tfoo1; tFoo2<String^>^ tfoo2; // generics gFoo1<int>^ gfoo1; gFoo2<String^>^ gfoo2;
What is different is the time of the instantiation. Templates are instantiated at compile time, when the compiler constructs a new type by inserting the provided type into the type placeholder (in this example, there will be two types constructed from tFoo1, and two types constructed from tFoo2—one using type int and one using type String). Generics instantiation is done by the CLR at runtime, which constructs the type-specific instances by modifying the general syntax, depending on whether the type argument is a value or a reference type.
Templates support expressions, template parameters, and default parameter values. These are not supported by generics.
Non-type parameters and default parameter value
Templates enable you to supply a default value for both type and non-type parameters. Here is a template stack that specifies a default value for the size of the stack:
template <class T, int size = 128> ref class tStack { array<T>^ m_stack; int m_pointer; public: tStack() { m_stack = gcnew array<T>(size); m_pointer = -1; } }; tStack<int, 10>^ tiStack = gcnew tStack<int, 10>;
Non-type parameters are not supported by generics. An attempt to use one will raise an error:
generic<class T, int size> ref class gStack { };
To achieve the same thing with generics, you must pass the size to the stack constructor:
ref struct StackException: public System::Exception { System::String^ message; public: StackException(System::String^ msg):message(msg) {} System::String^ GetMessage() {return message;} }; generic<class T> ref class gStack { array<T>^ m_stack; int m_pointer; int m_size; public: gStack(int size) { m_size = size; m_stack = gcnew array<T>(size); m_pointer = -1; } void Push(T elem) { if(m_pointer < m_size-1) { m_stack[++m_pointer] = elem; } else throw gcnew StackException(gcnew System::String("Full stack")); } T Pop() { if(m_pointer >=0 ) { T elem = m_stack[m_pointer]; --m_pointer; return elem; } else throw gcnew StackException(gcnew System::String("Empty stack")); } bool IsEmpty() { return (m_pointer == -1); } }; gStack<String^>^ sStack = gcnew gStack<String^>(10);
The result of both code samples is a stack with space for 10 elements.
The default value also can be specified for the type parameters with templates:
template <class T = int, int size = 128> ref class tStack { };
A similar attempt with generics will raise errors:
generic<class T = int> // this is not allowed ref class gStack { };
Template Parameters
Templates support template parameters:
template <class T> ref class tFoo1 { }; template <template <class T> class Foo, class Type> ref class tFoo2 { Foo<Type> foo; }; tFoo2< tFoo1, int >^ tfoo2;
An attempt to construct a similar parameterized type with generics will raise errors:
generic <generic <class T> class Foo, class Type> // not allowed ref class gFoo2 { };
Though generally speaking, by using templates you can create parameterized types supporting an unlimited number of types. This holds true only if this means storing and retrieving objects of a parameter type (like in the stack example above, where objects of any type can be added and removed from the stack). When you need to manipulate these objects, for instance calling their methods, you introduce implicit constraints; these limit the number of types that can be used with the template.
Given the template class Foo below,
template <class T> public ref class Foo { T object; public: Foo() { object.Init(); } }
by calling Init() for an object, you limit the instantiation of this class only to types that have a method called Init() (which can be called from this context). An attempt to use int, for example, to instantiate it will be flagged as an error:
Foo<int> foo;
A constraint is introduced in this case too:
template <class T> ref class Foo { T::X object; };
Class Foo can be parameterized only with types that contain an inner type (accessible from this context) called X.
All these constraints are implicit constrains, and templates support no formal syntax to describe them. Templates are bound at compile time, when the correctness of template instantiation must be known. Generics are bound at runtime, but there is a need for a compile time mechanism to check the validity of runtime binding, and prevent the building of the program if the instantiation type does not match the specified prerequisites.
Look at this code before going further:
interface class IShape { public: void Draw(); }; ref class Circle: public IShape { Point m_center; double m_radix; public: Circle(Point^ pt, double radix):m_center(*pt), m_radix(radix) {} virtual void Draw() { System::Console::WriteLine("Drawing a circle at {0} with radix {1}", m_center.ToString(), m_radix); } }; ref class Brick { public: void Draw() { System::Console::WriteLine("Drawing a brick"); } };
Here, you have two reference types, Circle and Brick. They both provide a method called Draw() that takes no parameter and return void, but Circle implements the IShape interface. Now, assume you need a container for all these shapes, to which you can add elements and that provides a method that processes all contained shapes by drawing them.
generic<class T> ref class Aggregator { System::Collections::Generic::List<T>^ m_list; public: Aggregator() { m_list = gcnew System::Collections::Generic::List<T>; } void Add(T elem) { m_list->Add(elem); } void ProcessAll() { for each(T elem in m_list) { elem->Draw(); } } }; Aggregator<IShape^>^ agr = gcnew Aggregator<IShape^>; agr->Add(gcnew Circle(gcnew Point(0,0), 1)); agr->Add(gcnew Circle(gcnew Point(1,1), 2)); agr->Add(gcnew Circle(gcnew Point(2,2), 3)); agr->ProcessAll(); delete agr;
Compiling this code, there are several errors raised, saying that 'Draw' : is not a member of 'System::Object'. What happens is that, by default, with the lack of explicit constraint specifications, the compiler assumes T is of type System::Object, which doesn't have a method called Draw().
To address this problem, you introduce an explicit constraint, specifying that T can only be a type that implements the IShape interface. Constraints are introduced with the non-reserved word "where".
generic<class T> where T: IShape ref class Aggregator { };
Now, you can add shapes to the container, as long as they implement IShape.A container for bricks cannot be created as long as Brick does not implement IShape interface, because Brick does not meet the constraint:
Aggregator<Brick^>^ agr1 = gcnew Aggregator<Brick^>;
If we change Brick to:
ref class Brick: public IShape { public: virtual void Draw() { System::Console::WriteLine("Drawing a brick"); } };
we can have a brick-only container,
Aggregator<Brick^>^ agr = gcnew Aggregator<Brick^>; agr->Add(gcnew Brick()); agr->Add(gcnew Brick()); agr->Add(gcnew Brick()); agr->ProcessAll();
or a container with both circles and bricks:
Aggregator<IShape^>^ agr = gcnew Aggregator<IShape^>; agr->Add(gcnew Circle(gcnew Point(0,0), 1)); agr->Add(gcnew Brick()); agr->Add(gcnew Circle(gcnew Point(1,1), 2)); agr->Add(gcnew Brick()); agr->ProcessAll();
The following applies to generic constraints:
For a type to be a constraint, it must be a managed, unsealed reference type or interface. Classes from namespaces System::Array, System::Delegate, System::Enum, and System::ValueType cannot appear in the constraint list.
public ref class A { }; generic <class T1, class T2> where T1: A // okay, reference type where T2: int // struct from prohibited namespace public ref class Foo { };
Can specify only one reference type for each constraint (because multiple inheritance is not supported in .NET).
public ref struct A { }; public ref class B { }; generic <class T1, class T2> where T1: A, B // error where T2: A, IComparable // ok public ref class Foo { };
The constraint clause can contain only one entry per each parameter.
generic <class T> where T: IShape where T: IComparable // error C3233: 'T' : generic // type parameter already constrained ref class Foo { };
Multiple constraints for a parameter type are separated by a comma.
generic <class T> where T: IShape, IComparable ref class Foo { };
Constraint type must be at least as accessible as the generic type of function.
ref struct A {}; generic <class T> where T: A // wrong, A is private public ref class Foo {};
Entries can follow any order, no matter the order of type parameters:
generic <class T1, class T2, class T3> where T2: IComparable where T1: ISerializable where T3: IClonable public ref class Foo { };
Generic types can be used for constraint types too:
generic <class T> public ref class A {}; generic <class T1, class T2> where T1: A<T2> where T2: A<T1> public ref class Foo {};
This article is a brief introduction to the .NET generics with C++/CLI. Further readings are recommended to achieve a comprehensive view on generics (issues such as template specialization or invoking generic functions were not addressed, and may follow in an upcoming article). Though at a first glance templates and generics look the same, they actually are not. Templates are instantiated at compile time, generics at runtime. Templates support non-type parameters, default, values and template parameters, while generics do not. And although templates do not have any mechanism to explicitly specify constraints, generics provide a syntax for static verification, because instantiation is done at runtime, when is too late to discover than a type cannot be bound.

Things have admittedly slowed down on the production side of Volume 2. There could be a pretty exhausting list of excuses, but they all pretty much point back to one: I've been busy.
I'm now two months behind where I wanted to be at this point in the game, mostly working on buying the time I'll need to actually keep working on Volume 2.
The good news? I'm reaching some sort of light at the end of the tunnel. I have a few more projects that need tending to (the kind that actually pay bills) and pretty soon I should be able to kick things back into gear with Bonnie Lass.
That's not to say that the property has grown stagnant! On the contrary, I've recently gotten some new exposure for Bonnie, what with con season starting up. Word of mouth (and Twitter, and Facebook) brings in new fans when I least expect it.
What I'm really looking forward to is getting started on issue three of the second volume—nothing wrong with issue two (in fact it's pretty exciting if I say so myself!) but I ran into this unexpected hiatus near the end of that second issue and it's certainly not helped the momentum I had going. Starting fresh with a brand new chapter ought to catapult me back into the swing of things—there's a certain rush from starting an issue from scratch and racing the calendar that is rather self-fueling. Poor issue two's been sitting on the assembly line since some time in February (back when I was ahead of schedule) and it's just hard to pick it up and get back in the same groove with all the other work I've got going at the moment.
So fret not! Issue two's bound to wrap up sometime soon, and once I get rolling on issue three, I'm confident I'll be able to at least compartmentalize the rest of the process along with my other projects so that I'm back to cranking out Bonnie Lass pages at something of a respectable rate!
Till the next update, have a little sketch of Bonnie that I worked up today!

Dog that gained widespread following has died
BAYFIELD, Wis. (AP) — An aging dog whose restful repose in Lake Superior while in the arms of his owner captured widespread attention has died.
Schoep and owner John Unger, of Bayfield, became Internet celebrities last summer after a photographer captured the two relaxing in the soothing water. Schoep, who was arthritic, blind and hard of hearing, rested his head peacefully on Unger's shoulder.
Within four days of posting the photo on Facebook, it had 1.8 million views.
Unger said on the Facebook page he shares with Schoep that the 20-year-old dog died on Wednesday. News of the dog's death generated nearly 19,000 comments as of Friday morning.
