ISABELLA STEWART GARDNER, the novelist Henry James once said, "is not a woman, she is a locomotive - with a Pullman car attached.'' James, who introduced her to John Singer Sargent, two of whose portraits of her hang in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, considered himself a friend. Imagine how Gardner's detractors must have felt.
Gardner was that vivid a personality. It comes as no surprise that she and the actress Sarah Bernhardt were mutual admirers. As a New York society magazine described her in 1887, Gardner was "the brightest, breeziest woman in Boston.'' She was "the idol of the men and the envy of the women.''

The Montreal Canadiens and Florida Panthers have told underage juniors Alex Galchenyuk and Jonathan Huberdeau they're staying in the NHL this season, and now the Boston Bruins have provided the same assurance to defenceman Dougie Hamilton as he played his fifth NHL game on Monday against Carolina.
Hamilton was a no-brainer to stay. He's played solid minutes and contributing and the only way he was going to end up back with Niagara of the OHL was if he played his way out of the NHL and that did not happen.
If an underage junior plays six NHL games this season, it burns the first year of his entry-level contract. These players can be returned to junior any time up to the April 3rd NHL trade deadline and roster freeze, but most teams like to make their decision just prior to the sixth game and not burn that first contract year unless they know they're going to get the full benefit of it.
Buffalo's Mikhail Grigorenko may play his sixth NHL game against Toronto on Tuesday and since he's coming off a 17-minute effort in Washington, the thinking is he's more likely to stay than go back to the Quebec Remparts but no final decision has been made. Teams can always delay that sixth game if they choose.
The Winnipeg Jets, for example, have played five games but underager Mark Scheifele has suited up in only three of them so far. The Jets aren't going to be rushed into a decision in such a small window and while they may ultimately err on the side of caution and return Scheifele to the Barrie Colts, they'll take as much time as possible to see Scheifele's work in practice and a couple of more games.
Meanwhile, in Anaheim, the Ducks know playing Rickard Rakell as a fourth-liner may not be the best long-term situation but the Plymouth Whaler underager has been effective and versatile in that role for three games, same as Stefan Matteau in four games in New Jersey.
Of course, Minnesota and Philadelphia returned Matt Dumba and Scott Laughton to Red Deer and Oshawa respectively on Sunday, so we'll just have to wait and see what the immediate future holds for Grigorenko, Scheifele, Rakell and Matteau.

1. I have to go alone. None of my friends are huge Star Wars fans, and since the new ride will essentially be re-rideable several times over, that means getting out of the ride and right back into the queue.
2. Money. A little tight these days.
We are planning our yearly trip to Disney World for September and as much as I would love to go on Star Tours, it may not happen on this trip for me. We did DHS last September and we may try to mix it up a bit for the little ones.
If you work for the mouse, being in the right place at the right time seems to be the strategy here...
I am more interested in the storylines behind the destinations.
Its good to see Disney up the ante on simulator rides. Perhaps they reinvented the wheel?

I think many failed romances are a result of bad timing. You can appear to be very compatible and show great potential, but if the timing is wrong, it all falls apart. We don't always realize that it is the wrong time, though. I believe we get caught up in attraction and end up realizing it way too late that it's the right person, wrong time.
This is especially true when someone is nursing a heartbreak, mourning the end of a long relationship or marriage. I think people need to just have fun and let dating be about the "palate cleansers" to clear the lingering bad taste you may have from the ex. Even when we feel ready, it's not until things get hot and heavy with the rebound relationship that we can see how important timing is.
Have you ever met someone really great at a really bad time in your life? How did you handle it?
I think if we were more honest with people we date about where we are – emotionally, it could save a lot of heartache. When you let folks know what head space you are in – you would be surprised at how understanding some people can be. Many of us have been there and know that it takes time to be in the right place to start something new.
How do figure out if it is a bad time to start a serious relationship? How do you let the person you just met know that? Is it fair to ask them to wait until the timing is better for you?

Never heard of a bad time to start anything. People are always great in the beginning…Lies are the biggest obstacle in any relationship, if you start out that way it will not end well.
Don't mix up someone being great with someone being nice those are two different things, because if they were that great ==wouldn't they still be by your side?!
Everyone walks into your life I believe for a reason, some stay some don't , try to learn from it so you will not repeat those same mistakes again.

It would be nice to let the other person know if you are just dating casually and not looking for anything. Hopefully in the first date or two. Either he/she will be cool or #ain't got time for dat.
And No its not fair to ask them to wait. That would be selfish.

Happy Hump Day! I've met some really great guys and the thought always ran across my mind saying great guy but bad timing. It comes with the territory of dating. There was this one guy, he possessed all the trimings of what I was looking for, he had a great sense of humor, empathic, nice personality, polite, he was a very high calibre type of man but, I was not in the place where I would have been good for him. My mind was on what I was dealing with at the time and going forward with him would have been a waste of his time. Timing is everything.

Looks like we're back to a communication issue. Here's how I see it. If you are a good communicator, you've probably married to a wonderful person right now. If not, you're probably 30+, single and read blogs about timing in a relationship.
"How do you figure out if it is a bad time to start a serious relationship?" As an adult, if you haven't figured out how to do this by now you never will.
"How do you let the person you just met know that?" Tell him or her. In know that sounds complicated, but I promise you it works.
"Is it fair to tell ask them to wait until the timing is ready for you?" Not if you have any self-respect.

I've used the term "bad timing" myself in the past, as I can only recall one time in my life that I'd consider such….mmm mmm mmm But to think about it, who is meant for you is yours. No such thing as bad timing. You get to have one person, not one and a possibility….lol I'm sure most have met someone where there was either magnetic attraction (can I use that) or crazy electricity…I know I have….but, the person or me was already with someone. Now, having said that, I think I or you or them or he or she probably talked or interacted a little too long to even know that (they're booed). Y'all get what I'm saying? I think that's why the can't have your cake and eat it too saying comes into play. They're booed or married and I or you or them or he or she is already taken or spoken for. If (and I use that lightly) there is a such thing as bad timing I would say it's due to not finding a way to come together yet each person is open and available. And that brings me back to saying (of course just my humble opinion), no such thing as bad timing because if you're not "booed", then if either you want it bad enough you will make it happen. Plenty of folks eventually come together or find a way.
Okay, that was a bunch of rambling….lol I think I believe what I just wrote….I think
I was looking for an old email from my manager for a link on getting a task done and did a search on my entire Outlook, and lookie lookie what I found. Emails from someone way back when. I started reading through some of them and came across the word "bama"…..lolololol Guess it's not just Robert huh?
Alright, I gotta get to work. I'll stick my head back in later.

Oh, my bad timing almost got me. He was mmm mmm mmm, what can I say? I ran into a mutual friend (the IT guy I mentioned) and then another mutual friend Monday. He was coming out of his building (downtown), heading to a meeting in another building. All things happen the way they should. Just reminscing bout the old days while sitting here….aaaaaah yeah
But, I'm quite happy these days I wouldn't change a thing!
K….gotta get coffee, and work

good morning. yes celisea, you did get your ramble on but if it's any consolation I understood exactly what you were saying or attempting to say. it is what it is.
some would make the argument that there is no bad timing while others would make the argument that there is no good timing. it's all perspective. some times you have to do just step up and do something and try to make it work. maybe if you sit around waiting for the perfect timing you'll never have/accomplish anything. flip side, if you are always jumping into things without giving them any thought or preparation you'll never have/accomplish anything.
January 30th, 2013

It boils down to communication, more so the non-verbal form. If one is really astute, one can quickly determine their lane. Booty call, FWB, lunch partners only, etc. It's only bad timing if you linger.
I is tired….

Just like being the 1000th shopper at a store and you win the grand prize; I believe timing is everything when it comes to relationships, especially regarding men and marriage. I can remember dating three women that would've made great wives. They were beautiful, we had great chemistry, they looked good on paper and I loved them. However, I didn't want to get married at the time. Years later, after participating in several of my friends weddings, and growing tired of bachelorhood, I was ready. I had no prospects in sight. I decided the next chick I fell in love with I will marry. I met wifey, fell in love and we have been happily married for well over a decade. Over the years, I have run into those three great women that I mentioned earlier. Not surprisingly, the next dude they got with after our thing ended wifed them up. One however, was still available. She asked me why I didn't search for her when I was ready. I told her " Baby, our timing was off."

If u go out and date with an AGENDA in mind..THIRSTY…u gon be dissappointed and then lament BAD TIMING…coz in ur warped thinking, its like every dude u meet..its gotts work…..see..pushing it…

Make the mistake of having an AGENDA..and THISRT..ohhh my GOD…thats when u start lamenting BAD TIMING Blah blah nonsense coz in ur mind..its like every dude u meet…its gotta work….! No maammmm…it dont work that way….
This thing is part Luck,part fate..part ur vibe,part ur looks..part how u mouth stuff etc etc etc..a concocorpia of some intricate gumbo….New Erleans(not a typo!) gumbo aint even close!
So LADIES…no THIRST…and its gon be aaalright…Just date,have fun. and dont take every SMASH like dude has signed a Binding, Obligatory Note…jeeeez(Can we talk…after the smash)..it aint that serious ladies..its just a smash!..its gotta be fun all the time….coz i tell u it is fun for dudes….

dushawn – thanks for confirming what I always say – men can get married pretty much anytime they decide to. even a no good, worthless, low level brother can find a chick to "I do" him.
ex – I don't think having an agenda translates to thirsty. I think having an agenda translates to knowing what you want, determining what steps are necessary to get what you want and being willing to do what it takes. nothing wrong with having an agenda. now I do admit some folks can be ruthless in implementing their agendas but that's a different topic altogether.
January 30th, 2013
10:01 am
@Disco..i beg to differ…
Dating with Thant kind of Agenda..is for "late in the game" folks..the ones who have always wanted to get married,hasnt happened and now thinkg the clock is ticking away..those folks..YES..im ALL for the AGENDA coz look here…unless it happens fast..then u know the attraction factor etc is fading and their chances dimnish quick….
Everybody else..just date a dude u think u vibe with, has got the basics u look for,aint crazy,holds down a j o b,dont scavenge u for money..and Keep it Moving…..U cannot hide a Lamp under a bushel(cover) the good book, i think says..cant remember the Verse(Celisea?) so if dudes see a viable chic to wife,they will wife. NO need for u to be hollering so as to be made a STARTER….
Now if u aint STARTER Lebron/Kobe material….thats when an AGENDA is called for maybe…..but still..if u young..no need to panic……panic breeds panic and confusion…and dudes smel a Thirsty chic quick.. and u know, Thirsty chics give it up quick then go bongas when dudes bench them…
Thirst (AGENDA) is for the one with a long shot.

ex – I don't even think it's an age issue. there are many young chicks who know they want to be married young. for instance the ones who go to college to get their "M.R.S.". these chicks date with an agenda and it has nothing to do with their biological clocks. it's all about knowing what they want and taking the steps to make it happen. all I'm saying to you is agenda doesn't translate to thirsty. NOW maybe a man who isn't trying to be party to said agenda will call it thirsty because he feels like he wants to play "victim" and claim some trick is trying to trap him or hem him up.
January 30th, 2013
10:10 am
Disco- "even a no good, worthless, low level brother can find a chick to "I do" him" That's because every woman wants to be a wife at some point. I have always found it interesting how men and women have such a different perspective on marriage. For females, it's a new beginning. For guys, it's the end. When a chick tells her friends of her pending nuptials, her girlfriends are so happy and excited for her. They say things like: "Congratulations girl!!!" When a dude tells his friends, it's like a death in the family. The mood is somber and they say things like: "Dayum dog, you sure you want to do this?"
January 30th, 2013
10:13 am
disco – Your 10:10 is spot on, especially the last sentence. Mmeello, chile stop with that foolishness…lol There are just some men that think (being a) woman = thirty and if you say you're NOT thirsty and quite happy, yousa lie!!! lololololol
January 30th, 2013
10:19 am
thanks C. we know how ex can be. I ain't mad at him though. he's entitled.
dushawn – sho you right. ties in to men getting married hoping the women stay the same and women getting married hoping the men will change. it's always something.
January 30th, 2013
10:19 am
Ex who in their right mind would want to date for the fun of it? Why put energy in getting to know someone just for the heck of it? wounded hearts don't make for a happy person. An agenda does not constitute thirst. With thinking like that is why the marriage rate amongst AA is lagging behind others.
January 30th, 2013

"That's because every woman wants to be a wife at some point. "
DuShawn, not even true. Not all little girls aspire to be a wife or a parent!
January 30th, 2013
10:25 am
"-who in their right mind would want to date for the fun of it?- ……..WHAT? I thought that was the purpose. People date to have fun. If you get to know and like the person in the process, that's a bonus. The main goal is to have a good time, not evaluating your guest as a potental mate.
January 30th, 2013
10:27 am
Leggs – I'm agreeing as well, with you 10:23. These general statements are men that THINK they know all women. For the most part in areas, all women are the same but there are some places that set us apart.
And contrary to what SOME may think, some of us don't wallow over things that could have been done different (i.e. kids sans marriage, etc), but are proud of making strides and overcoming. Who's got time to stuck like chuck? I for one can't hardly remember "stuff" from way back when (I guess y'all say y'all beg to differ according to all my long posts…lol). My point is you learn and grow and adapt to life. Because I didn't do it the way Becky did (well not "Becky"), does not mean I didn't something wrong or didn't get it right. Contrary to what many may think, no person in their right mind (well some might), will spend years pining and moaning over coulda woulda shoulda. I am one that's happy happy happy with my station in life and aside from enjoying, am making no plans to switch things up. Now, if that's not the norm or don't sound on the up and up, well just too dang bad then….lololol
January 30th, 2013
10:27 am
leggs – I didn't even argue that point with dushawn because it works in his favor re the sorry, worthless, no count dudes still landing wives. some chicks will take any old piece of a man just for the sake of having one. for that reason alone I'll let dushawn have the point. lol.
o/t – I just read a column written by a guy with locs shouting out his shampoo girl at the salon. I couldn't help but feel him. boy oh boy there is something to be said about a good scalp scrubbing. there was a shampoo girl at my current stylist who was the absolute bomb. she went away but I still ask about her every now and then.

Mmm hmmm, and boy, what a prize. Trifling, lazy, wondering eyes, wondering heart, ain't worth nothing, can't get nothing, can't buy nothing…..etc etc etc
And we're missing on on what now? Iggg zackly!!!

@Leggs- Not all, but generally speaking, I believe that to be true. Most girls dream of a "Barbie" wedding, with Daddy walking them down aisle.
January 30th, 2013
10:30 am
@Disco…many young chicks who know they want to be married young. for instance the ones who go to college to get their "M.R.S."..
Yes, there are many who are not the majority,in my view, who do this..but if u want to see some crazy ladies or unhappy chics when they get older and are still single..its these same folks you describe…..coz an AGENDA Has the unfortunate thing of transforming itself into Unhappyiness when the AGENDA fails!.

" Is it fair to ask them to wait until the timing is better for you? "
As a single Man I am a great "time manager". Just like Celisea said "I'm sure most have met someone where there was either magnetic attraction (can I use that) or crazy electricity"….I have too.
When I was younger I would have a dating schedule to avoid good or bad timing issues (breakfest, lunch, dinner, midnite snack).
Guys, how many times have you had to tell someone to leave because they were overstaying their welcome?
Guys, how many times have you had someone to come over too early?
Guys, how many times have you had to fake a phone call to excuse yourself and leave for another date?
Guys, how many times do you have your normal routine schedule disrupted because someone does not want to leave, is to early and/or just does not want to go home?
Guys, how are you managing your "timing issues" with women?
January 30th, 2013

@Button..most young folks with a future ahead of them date for fun……they may not even be messing with the chics/guys coz they just dont..but thats the Whole idea….
Dating with salt in ur pocket(hunting with salt in ur pocket ) is for those who have pressure of some sort…..
And im not even saying ALL women dream of marriage..some just wanna date..i take that….but quit the AGENDA..just go for the man u vibe with and quit building castles in the air…..Unless of course…u creezy like that…
and i can tell u Disco,in my dating days..chics with an AGENDA had the most drama…sleep with her once..she is coming to ur crib at nite,knocking on the window,unannounced…
Comeon Man!

I agree with EX for the most part.. I think one part should read, have fun dating , not dating for fun.. Cause if you are dating someone who wants to just sit there and look at each other, there should be some fun factor in there. No?!

ex – this is going to be my last time addressing you (I hope). I think you are taking agenda to mean someone is out to get you. they are scheming on you. they won't go with the flow because they are so busy trying to obtain their finish line blue ribbon. I get it. now when I say agenda I mean nothing more than having a defined notion of what you want and a list of tasks to help achieve what you want. quite frankly I prefer that method rather than the method of "kissing frogs" and hoping one of them turns into a prince.
courtside – why y'all got to mess up our culinary experiences? a sister can't enjoy a banana, an ice cream cone, a popsicle, an ear of corn on the cob. just stop it I tell you.

"….had to tell someone to leave because they were overstaying their welcome?"….. I remember this one chick, I used to call her "Legs" (no disrespect to the one on here). Man, she had some gorgeous legs, and in bed she was a champ! She would cross those pretty long legs Indian style over her breast while lying on her back with her ankles crossed. Whew!.. My boxers gettin tight in the front just thinking about her. Anyway I digress; it was a hurricane threatening to hit south Florida. She lived in a high rise, I had a house. She asked if she and her two little boys could ride out the storm at my spot. I agreed, they came thru, the storm went around us. About three days had passed, the storm been gone. She shows no sign of leaving. Her little boys tearing my house up, my classic cd's all out the case on the floor, they running back and forth everywhere, driving me crazy. I would leave and hang out for hours not wanting to return to my own sh&*t. I dropped as many hints as I could with no success. Finally, I just said it's time for you to leave. After that, my visits became less frequent and when she started asking me for bread…it was a wrap.

Polk County drug team arrests Grand Ronde man
Nov 6, 2012 | 9 Comments
News-Register Staff
GRAND RONDE — A Grand Ronde man was arrested Friday by the Polk County Interagency Narcotics team that went to his residence on a reported domestic disturbance and seized a large quantity of marijuana.
The suspect was identified as Sean Whitehead, 23, of 29730 Joe Day Way. He was charged with one count each of fourth-degree assault, delivery of a controlled substance, manufacture of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and strangulation. He was lodged in the Polk County Jail in Dallas on $107,500 bail.
A search of the residence turned up 60 marijuana plants, 83 Mason jars full of processed marijuana and several bags of processed marijuana. The total weight was 20.4 pounds, including three-quarter pounds of kief. The potential street value of the seizure was more than $64,000.
The investigation is continuing.

If he is convicted of the domestic violence charges well then I would liker to see if there were any drugs in his system at the time of his arrest. Like Meth or alcohol for instance.
Say that $64,000 was taxed at 8%, that would of generated $5,120.00 of revenue for the state or counties or whatever per month. With one months cannabis for 50,000 + patients being about 6,250 pounds per month needed. At your estamated (NR) $3137.25 per pound that would be $19,607,812.00 taxed at 8% would be $1,568,624.90 per month of revenue. That is not including the recreational users... Please check my math. I'm not the sharpest knife in drawer.
So very true!, changing laws means nothing. If people wish to break the law, they will continue to do so. For those in jail for drug violations, they knew they were wrong. No excuse really. Until the laws are changed, it is still illegal. Change the law, or obey it.
If the state sells for to much than this whole "legalize and tax" idea won't work. If the state can undercut the illegal dealers (competition) then we have a chance of driving out the mexican cartel and all the other scumbag dealers.
Then again the state of Oregon just might get greedy and become the worst cartel and scumbag dealer.
I don't know for sure what MJ costs but if it's $3,137.25 (according to Fletch and NR) I assume the risk of getting busted is built into the price. Take away that risk and there's no reason the state couldn't produce it for penny's on the dollar.
I don't know about you, but if I wanted to get some MJ, I would rather get MJ in a safe location rather then one with the pontential of physical harm being done to myself.

Xbee Adapter Boards - Putting it Together
So in this kit, there are two different adapters. One is the USB Adapter board and one is the 5V/3.3V Microcontroller Adapter board. Now this is all fine and dandy but we still need to figure out how to actually work with it and connect it.
Here're some handy pictures. In the first, is what you get out of the kit that pertains to the Adapter Boards. There should be two 2mm hole socket things, and an uncut header. Looking at the second picture and third picture, you want to put the hole socket things into the PCB and solder from underneath.
Now using an E-xacto knife or blade, cut two 11-pin headers. Put them into the PCB from the bottom and solder them to the PCB from the top. If you wanted to solder wires to the pads themselves you could do that too.
USB Adapter Board:
To connect this to the computer, you can use one of those USB A to Mini B cables:
Microcontroller Adapter Board:
We'll cover a bit of this in the next post where I go over the pin connections. Essentially, instead of using USB power, you can use power from a power supply that goes to VDD.
Indicator Lights:
The LEDs on the adapter board itself indicate:
- Yellow: ON/Not Sleeping — This will typically be on unless you configure the XBee for one of the low-power sleep modes.
- Blue: Power — Indicates 3.3V power is available.
- Green: Associate — This LED will typically be blinking unless you are using the associate mode of joining a network or by changing the pin configuration.
- Red: RSSI indicator — The XBee PWM output indicates the strength of the received RF signal. This LED will light for several seconds anytime the XBee receives RF data addressed to it. A slight dimming at low power levels may be noticeable.
And once you've got it connected, you'll want to go to Digi (I'm assuming their website) to get the X-CTU software. This is where you can configure the adapter.
- Functions of some of the I/O lines on the adapter can be configured
As long as the USB port is providing power the XBee Adapter Board is powered on. The I/O signals are 3.3V level and should not be connected to a 5V system without proper buffering. The XBee I/O pins are not 5V tolerant.
Next, looking at its pin connections!

You are only confined by the walls you build yourself!!
I live by this quote everyday. Stop thinking youve reached your full potential and PUSH that little bit further…. You can achieve anything you set your heart on. No matter what it is, regardless if its physique related, your dreams can be achieved if you put every ounce of strength, heart and soul into it.
Natasha Hutchinson - Sports Model - Personal Trainer <3
Here is my ultimate before and after picture.
Its taken me 3 years to get to stage, with 17 weeks of 'COMP PREP' to get to stage :)
Just looked at my back progress from when i first started prep! This is what 15 weeks did to my back :)
Cheat meals are a very important additive to your nutritional regimen. They are necessary both physicallyto trick your body from adapting to a lower caloric intake and psychologically to keep your mind jolted to get through the week with the same intensity and vigor that you started with. One day a week I pick a day to have my cheat meal on, I eat as much as I want and whatever I want, i dont restrict what my heart desires UNLESS its coming into comp, i pick cleaner cheat meals this way, and that way I am prepared to eat like a Spartan for the rest of the week. It provides me with the right mental attitude going into the week. I do not notice getting any "fatter" by implementing such a high caloric meal. In fact, it makes me more lean because I'm so strict the rest of the week because I don't have the urge to cheat- I know the Cheat day is right around the corner. In fact, studies also show that a physically active individual who works out with weights regularly who has one day a week where he eats double the amount of calories as normal, will use those calories towards muscle growth rather than fat gain. So it is very beneficial for you on multiple fronts to "let go".
Hey girls,
I know alot of you have your downfalls when it comes to cheat meals and sometimes turn into cheat 'days' etc etc, im sure you know what im talking about.
I dont know if you girls have heard of it, but i just made it for the first time tonight and gave to a friend….she nearly died and went to heaven….. INTRODUCING, PROTEIN FLUFF.
This is what you need:
1 scoop of protein powder, any flavour you like :)
1 cup of water ( you can use almond milk if you like? i havent tried it like that cause the water way tastes AWESOME )
1 teaspoon of xanthan gum (can get from mrs flanneries)
ALTERNATIVE- You can add berries if you like.
1. Place all ingredients into a mixer bowl OR a milkshake/blender.
2. MIX for a few minutes.
It goes from a runny mixture to the photo attached below. I made it for my best friend tonight and added a few berries to it. She said it was EXACTLY like mousse.
Cant wait to try this once comps over :) LOOKS incredible!!! :D
Believe and achieve. If you put your mind to your goals, if you truly dedicate yourself and your whole being to your dreams. You can achieve the unimaginable!!!
27th of April, KONDAILLA waterfall hike! Will be beautiful :)
Can fit 4 others in my car

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Day 2 delivered four movies from four different countries, each distinctive to its origination.
School boys resist the ironic executors of the peer social structures in The King of Pigs. The harsh realities and struggling against a difficult life drive a powerful tale giving a new dimension to Lord of the Flies. It is very Korean.
An older girl fully enmeshed with the neo-nazi culture, and a younger girl trying to escape her dictatorial father intersect as they try to find themselves in Combat Girls. It is very German.
Doug Benson of Super High Me fame returns with a road trip stand-up revue in The Greatest Movie Ever Rolled. It never becomes more than a series of night clubs bits and Benson getting high repeatedly around the country, but it's funny enough. It is very American.

Absurdist film has the same potential problem, and there is little separating Holy Rollers from Michael Barney's Cremaster Cycle films. If you're willing to completely suspend your need for any meaning then you'll have some laughs. It is very French.

Starbucks To Enter India: Problems and Prospects
Since Scotsman Robert Bruce discovered tea bushes growing along the banks of the Brahmaputra river in 1823, India has gone on to become the world's leading tea producer and consumer. So the fact that Starbucks, the globe's leading specialty coffee retailer, is even thinking of entering the world's largest tea−drinking nation may seem somewhat far−fetched.
It is not. Coffee demand is surging in India, and local coffee chains are already taking advantage of it. If Starbucks can adapt to the peculiarities of the Indian market, coffee may soon become many Indians' cup of tea.
The Indian coffee market is growing at a feverish pace. Consumption has almost doubled in the last decade on the back of the large, young urban population that prefers Western cafes to traditional Indian coffeehouses. Leading coffee chains like Café Coffee Day and Costa Coffee are already registering double−digit growth rates and statistics indicate the market is far from saturated. If the Indian economy sustains its blistering growth, McKinsey predicts that India's middle class will swell from 50 million in 2007 to 583 million by 2025. Little wonder Starbucks has woken up and smelled the coffee.
Entering the Indian market also jives well with the company's long−term growth strategy. Most of Starbucks' future expansion is expected to come from the pursuit of international opportunities, particularly in BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), which are the global engines of growth. Of these, India is the only one that Starbucks has not entered, mostly because of issues with the Indian Foreign Investment Promotion Board over foreign direct investment (FDI) regulations. With the financial crisis behind it and India's ruling Congress Party eager to liberalize its lucrative retail sector, entering the country in partnership with other established Indian companies makes sense.
While Starbucks does face stiff competition, it may be better suited to the Indian market than some of its competitors. I recently heard Costa Coffee CEO Santhosh Unni grumble about how Costa's whole business model had to be reworked "to better accommodate socializing," since coffeehouses in India are now "first and foremost meeting places." He seemed to wish he ran Starbucks, a company with a competitive advantage that combines coffee quality with personalized customer service and a relaxed ambiance. The coffee giant has already had great success expanding its cafe areas and seating room in many Asian markets where most purchases are consumed in−store. This would be fairly easy to replicate in India.
The trickier issue will be "Indianizing" Starbucks to account for local tastes, which no Western brand has been able to escape. McDonald's introduced the now famous the McAloo Tikki, a vegetable burger stuffed with potatoes, peas, spices and a vegetable−tomato mayonnaise, while Taco Bell added menu items for as low as 35 cents. Coffee outlets in India tend to combine food with coffee to draw larger crowds and offer a combination of lower prices, vegetarian options and local favorites. Starbucks will thus have to customize its products and practices somewhat, perhaps by adjusting its price and adding some Indian teas, coffees and foods.
This may seem like a tall (or grande) order. But consider Starbucks' work in Britain, the largest per−capita tea consumer in the world and the nation of afternoon tea, tea gardens and tea dances. According to the Harvard Business School, after Starbucks first entered the country in 1998, tea sales fell even as coffee sales rose rapidly. By 2008, annual sales of coffee in Britain had exceeded sales of tea.
Need a coffee break to digest that one? I'm sure more Indians will be taking those soon if Starbucks brews the right strategy for entering the country.

To the Editor: Our analysis of visits to office-based psychiatrists documented an overall decline in the duration of visits and an increase in the proportion of visits in which psychotropic medications are prescribed. Although we agree with Dr. Kahan that managed care offers a plausible explanation for much of the decrease in the duration of visits, we doubt that it fully explains the trend toward increasing prescriptions for psychotropic medications.
We have previously reported that a significant increase has occurred in the number of antidepressant prescriptions written for self-paying and privately insured patients (1). In our article, the decrease in the duration of visits disproportionately affected visits in which medications were not prescribed. For these reasons, we respectfully disagree with Dr. Kahan and continue to believe that new pharmacologic treatments and changing financial arrangements contributed to the reported changes in practice style.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana spent the entire season perfecting its defence.
On Saturday, it produced the biggest payoff for the Pacers in nearly a decade.
Roy Hibbert's block of Carmelo Anthony's dunk attempt midway through the fourth quarter spurred an 11-2 run that rallied the Pacers to a 106-99 victory in Game 6 of their second-round series, sending them into their first Eastern Conference final since 2004.
New York native Lance Stephenson scored nine points in the run, finishing with a playoff career-high 25.
"That's why they pay me the big bucks this summer, so I have to protect the paint," said Hibbert, who signed a $58 million contract last summer. "If all else fails, meaning the offence, I have to protect the paint."
With players from both teams standing on the court as the final seconds ticked off and Pacers fans roaring in appreciation, the sellout crowd wasted little time breaking into chants of "Beat The Heat!"
For Indiana, it sets up a post-season rematch with the defending NBA champs, the team that eliminated them last May after the Pacers had taken a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven semifinals. The Heat wound up winning Game 4 at Indiana and followed that with two more wins as Danny Granger struggled with a knee injury.
Indiana used the lessons from that series as motivation to improve this season and wound up beating the Heat twice at home before losing the third game of the season series at Miami. The Pacers will return to South Florida for Game 1 on Wednesday night.
With Granger missing all but five games this season because of the lingering knee injury, the Pacers put an even greater emphasis on playing defence and it showed.
Indiana led the league in rebounding, defensive field goal percentage and defensive 3-point percentage while finishing second in points allowed per game during the regular season. It was no different in the playoffs, as the Knicks found out.
New York had another subpar shooting night Saturday, making just 40 per cent of its shots, and again wound up on the wrong side of a 43-36 rebounding discrepancy. In the paint, New York was outscored 52-20, and Anthony, who finished with 39 points, scored just four points in the final 12 minutes when he went 2 of 7 from the field.
Iman Shumpert added 19 points, hitting five 3-pointers, and J.R. Smith scored 15. Nobody else was in double figures.
The combination, as it had been in the previous three losses to Indiana, produced the same frustrating result.
"They have a hell of a defence. They hold down the paint. They do a great job, do a hell of a job of controlling the paint, closing it down, making it tough for guys," Anthony said. "You've got to give them guys credit, especially when they got a chance to set. Roy Hibbert gets to sit in the paint, causes havoc."
It's not just that.
The biggest question coming into Saturday's game was whether starting point guard George Hill would play. He took part in the team's morning shootaround, was cleared by the team doctors and wound up returning two days after missing Game 5 with a concussion. His return gave the Pacers a big boost.
Hill finished with just 12 points on 2-of-10 shooting but had five rebounds and four assists, and kept the Pacers composed enough to commit only nine turnovers -- 10 fewer than Thursday night's loss in New York.
The results showed up everywhere on the floor.
Paul George had 23 points, five rebounds and four assists. David West added 17 points, five rebounds and four assists, and Hibbert finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks, none bigger than the stuff on Anthony that changed the game. Stephenson had 10 rebounds and three assists in his best post-season game ever.
The reason: He wanted to avoid a trip home.
"I just didn't want to go back to New York and play Game 7," Stephenson said. "Just get it done with now and I'd do whatever it takes to do that today. It showed tonight."
The New York native made sure of it.
After George grabbed the rebound off of Hibbert's block, Stephenson took a pass from West and scored on a layup to tie the score at 92 with 4:51 left in the game. Stephenson followed that with a steal and drove in for a layup, drawing a foul and completing a three-point play. After grabbing another rebound and making two more free throws, West tipped in a miss and Stephenson closed the decisive spurt with another layup. Suddenly, the Pacers led 101-94 with 1:53 to go.
New York never got another chance to tie the score or take the lead again despite making a far more typical 13 of 30 from 3-point range.
"It's tough to go out this way," coach Mike Woodson said. "I didn't make it happen for us and that's what's disappointing."
The Pacers have a far different goal now as they get ready to face LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Miami.
"We're not satisfied with where we're at," coach Frank Vogel said. "We feel like there's no ceiling on this team this year."
Notes: New York failed to become the ninth team to rally from a 3-1 deficit. ... Indianapolis 500 pole winner Ed Carpenter made the short trip from the track to Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where he is a regular attendee. ... Colts coach Chuck Pagano also attended the game. ...

Magic Sells Out
Geoff Hatheway, firstname.lastname@example.com
Londonderry, VT
-The Magic Partnership Closes-Out 1st Capital Raise with 333 Shares Sold-
March 7, 2012, Londonderry, VT—One month after selling its 300th share, the threshold needed to begin the skier-owned Magic Partnership LLC, Magic Mountain finished raising the maximum shares allowed for the investment with 333 shares sold at a price of $3,000/share for a total capital raise of $999,000.00. Much of this capital will go toward improving the snow-making capacity at the 50-year old ski area.
The final shares came just as Magic was experiencing southern Vermont's first major snow storm of 2012 which dropped upwards of 18" of snow last week to bring a couple of renowned Magic powder days to skiers and riders.
"Our skier community stepped up at a critical juncture with an eye toward not only keeping this legendary ski area alive, but helping it thrive long into the future", said Jim Sullivan, president of Magic Mountain. "There's much work to be done, but when you see the smiles and high-fives of skiers and riders enjoying Magic, even in a winter as challenging as this one, we know that the commitment and effort ahead will be rewarding."

Magic first opened in 1960 and will be celebrating this season its 50th anniversary of peak to bottom skiing dating from 1962, which to this day, is still one of the most exciting, challenging and authentic Vermont ski experiences. Different than the corporate resorts, Magic has stayed true to the original Vermont ski culture. Magic skiers enjoy a mountain emphasizing natural, diverse ski terrain in an atmosphere of shared camaraderie for the sport both on the slopes and in the lodge after a long, rewarding day. Magic has an authentic vibe because, in reality, it still remains first and foremost a ski area, not a "resort"—and a distinctly Vermont one at that. It's a community spirit that keeps Magic thriving for those committed ski and riding enthusiasts who want to "take the road less traveled" and experience real snow and obstacles that mother-nature puts on the hill. And, it's why Magic skiers love the mountain so much that they have invested in the ski area via The Magic Partnership in order to enhance and preserve it for future generations to enjoy.

Origins and construction
In the early 1900s the transatlantic passenger trade was highly profitable and competitive, with ship lines vying to transport wealthy travelers and immigrants. Two of the chief lines were White Star and Cunard. By the summer of 1907, Cunard seemed poised to increase its share of the market with the debut of two new ships, the Lusitania and the Mauretania, which were scheduled to enter service later that year. The two passenger liners were garnering much attention for their expected speed; both would later set speed records crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Looking to answer his rival, White Star chairman J. Bruce Ismay reportedly met with William Pirrie, who controlled the Belfast shipbuilding firm Harland and Wolff, which constructed most of White Star's vessels. The two men devised a plan to build a class of large liners that would be known for their comfort instead of their speed. It was eventually decided that three vessels would be constructed: the Olympic, the Titanic, and the Britannic.
On March 31, 1909, some three months after work began on the Olympic, the keel was laid for the Titanic. The two ships were built side by side in a specially constructed gantry that could accommodate their unprecedented size. The sister ships were largely designed by Thomas Andrews of Harland and Wolff. In addition to ornate decorations, the Titanic featured an immense first-class dining saloon, four elevators, and a swimming pool. Its second-class accommodations were comparable to first-class features on other ships, and its third-class offerings, although modest, were still noted for their relative comfort.
As to safety elements, the Titanic had 16 compartments that included doors which could be closed from the bridge, so that water could be contained in the event the hull was breached. Although they were presumed to be watertight, the bulkheads were not capped at the top. The ship's builders claimed that four of the compartments could be flooded without endangering the liner's buoyancy. The system led many to claim that the Titanic was unsinkable.
Following completion of the hull and main superstructure, the Titanic was launched on May 31, 1911. It then began the fitting-out phase, as machinery was loaded into the ship and interior work began. After the Olympic's maiden voyage in June 1911, slight changes were made to the Titanic's design. In early April 1912 the Titanic underwent its sea trials, after which the ship was declared seaworthy.
As it prepared to embark on its maiden voyage, the Titanic was one of the largest and most opulent ships in the world. It had a gross registered tonnage (i.e., carrying capacity) of 46,328 tons, and when fully laden the ship displaced (weighed) more than 52,000 tons. The Titanic was approximately 882.5 feet (269 metres) long and about 92.5 feet (28.2 metres) wide at its widest point.

Several hundred people gathered Saturday in Capitol Park in one of 120 Day of Resistance rallies nationwide seeking to intensify support for the right to bear arms.
The afternoon rally, where fluttering "Don't Tread on Me" flags were a common sight, saw speakers staunchly opposing some recent gun control proposals.
The nationwide rallies were organized against a backdrop of gun control appeals in the wake of the mass killing of 20 schoolchildren and six adults in December by a lone gunman in Newtown, Conn.
National polls have shown that a majority of Americans support some kinds of stricter gun controls, including on assault weapons like the one used in Newtown.
Closer to home, the issue saw its latest evolution with a recent statewide ban on the open carrying of unloaded rifles on city streets. That law, which has exceptions, went into effect Jan. 1.
The issues brought many to the Sacramento rally from afar, including Brendan O'Neill of Merced, who said, "I came here to support our Second Amendment rights, because they're being whittled away, like our rights to open carry."
A series of speakers took turns opposing some gun-related laws and proposals, while showing support for others.
One touted was Assembly Bill 202, by state Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, which he recently introduced in the Legislature. The bill would allow teachers to carry concealed weapons on school grounds.
"This will create an invisible line of defense around our children," said Christina Marotti, a Donnelly fundraiser and Sacramento parent who spoke at the rally. "Our kids are sitting ducks at our schools and we have to do something about that."
For some at the rally, the gun issue has simmered across generations and nations, as it has for Redwood City resident Lois Garcia, who is of Cuban descent.
"I came here because it's about freedom," Garcia said. "One of the first things that Castro did when he took over in Cuba was, he went to people's homes and disarmed them. I don't want this country to go down the same path."
The rally, which took place at the California Veterans Memorial, near 13th and N streets, disbanded before 3 p.m. without incident.

PORTLAND, Maine — A man who strolled through Maine's largest city with an assault weapon similar to one used in the Connecticut elementary school shootings is drawing criticism from both gun control and gun rights advocates.
Portland police received more than 65 calls Monday reporting that a young man was walking through Parkside neighborhood and the Back Cove area with an AR-15-style assault weapon. Justin Dean, 24, insisted he was not making any sort of statement but rather had the loaded rifle for protection while exercising his Second Amendment rights.

Real earnings fall 0.1 percent in September
October 20, 2010
Real average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees fell 0.1 percent from August to September, seasonally adjusted. This result stemmed from a 0.2-percent increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), offsetting a 0.1-percent increase in average hourly earnings.
Real average weekly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees fell 0.1 percent over the month, as a result of an unchanged average work week combined with the decline in real average hourly earnings.
Since reaching a recent low point in June 2009, real average weekly earnings have risen 2.1 percent.
These earnings data are from the Current Employment Statistics program and are for production and nonsupervisory workers in private nonfarm establishments. Earnings data are preliminary and subject to revision. Find out more in "Real Earnings — September 2010" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-1427.

The MSN/MBA program may be completed in two (2) years, but most students complete it in three (3) years. The School Nurse Licensure Preparation Program may be completed in four (4) semesters, and the Nursing Education Certificate in three (3) semesters. Degree planners on each programs web page outline the sequence of the coursework.
All of the MSN and MSN/MBA Nursing courses are taught on-line. Courses offered by the College of Education and Human Services (COEHS) or the Monte Ahuja College of Business Administration (COB) may be offered either in the classroom or on-line. This affects only one course in the MSN in Nursing Education track.

All of the courses in the School Nurse Licensure Preparation program are offered in the classroom.
Current graduate tuition rates may be found on the Office of Treasury Services website. Out-of-state students pursuing an online MSN are charged a reduced rate for the Nursing courses, instead of the full out-of-state tuition rate.
Please note that all CSU students, regardless of residency, are charged a @25 per credit hour eLearning fee for all on-line courses.
Text book selection is evaluated by faculty every semester. As of Fall 2012, textbooks for the MSN program cost approximately $1400.
MSN students begin the Nursing sequence in the Fall (August) semester each year. The MBA portion of the MSN/MBA may be started any semester. The School Nurse Licensure Preparation program may be started in Fall or Summer (May).
A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 in your BSN is required in order to be eligible to apply for the MSN , MSN/MBA, and Nursing Education Certificate programs.

A successful application essay clearly covers the content outlined in the essay instructions found in the School of Nursing Graduate Application. First and foremost, it demonstrates well developed writing skills, indicting an applicant is capable of graduate-level work. The essay is at least three (3) full pages long, and does not exceed five (5) pages of text. It is type-written, has no misspellings or grammatical errors, and conforms to current APA guidelines for margins, font, spacing, etc. The writer does not attempt to meet page requirements by using extra-wide margins, increased spacing, headers, signature blocks, and other similar tactics. These diminish the intended outcome of the essay and reflect poorly on the writer. A successful essay is not written hastily, but is well thought out and reflects the applicant's potential to earn a graduate degree in nursing.
No. Students must complete a BSN prior to starting CSUs MSN program. The School of Nursing does, however, offer an RN to BSN program which is entirely online, and may be completed in three (3) consecutive semesters.

Students not admitted due to lack of space or who do not accept an admission slot must reapply. There is no ongoing waiting list.
The application deadline is March 1. You are strongly encouraged to submit all of your materials at least 2 months prior to the deadline. This will give the Recruiter/Advisor time to notify you if any materials are missing, or if there are any issues with any of the materials, and allow you time to rectify the problem.

Animals. They come in all shapes and sizes, textures and dispositions. Some of them you can't help but to grab hold of, squeeze hard and whisper sweet nothings in their ear. Others, you can't help but to grab hold of them, squeeze hard, and never let up until their eyes pop out. They are mother nature's own cuddly playmates and deadly assassins; or sometimes a mixture of the two.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
I was jumping up and down when Stefan walked out on Elena - About FUCKING time! I think he finally understood what a self-obsorbed selfish bitch she is - LOL he even asked Becks to erase his memories of her and Elena was like NOOOOOOOOO! OMG, what a biaattch! Good for you Stefan!
^Those were by far my fav scenes too. I was gripping my chair arm so hard my fingers turned white. I nearly died of a heart attack. It would have been SOOO amazing if she had actually done it. I have never been prouder of him. Time to stop sacrificing yourself for a chick that CLEARLY does not appreciate you honey. Hope him and Becca make a good badass team and potential fuck buddies.
I posted this in the review section, but now that I think of it, Elena and Damon are both so selfish and self-obsorbed they belong together because with all the "concern" they share for their respective siblings, they care more about their own feelings above anyone else. Elena was like yo hows Jeremy and 5 seconds later - lets bang. Same for Damon - five seconds he is concerned about how Stefan took the news that Damon betrayed him - and then he is like lets bang. May they live selfishly ever after.

4 a.m. on the subway
Erica and I made it safe-and-sound back to LA after a long, long day of subways / trains / airplanes / buses / taxies and dead-stop traffic jams. It feels good to be back on the west-coast.
This weekend I'll be re-recording the narration for the film; I'm probably going to head into the office on Saturday just to make sure I'm in a 100% sound-proof environment. Once I have a clean narration track, I'll have to race to get that cut into the film within the next two weeks, tighten up a few edits in the film, and find a way to afford a quick temp-sound pass!
If I can pull all of that off before November 1st, we'll make submission deadlines for Hot Docs, SXSW, AAFF, Tribeca and Sundance (we have an extension for Sundance). Once we submit to these festivals - all of which, with the exception of Ann Arbor, are expecting For Thousands of Miles after our face-to-face meetings during Film Week - then I have to track down a vintage penny-farthing bicycle for an archival recreation scene. But that's another story for another post.
I'm nervous. I'm excited. I'm trying to stay focused.

A man who was wanted for kidnapping and barricaded himself up inside of a Phoenix home was found dead from a suicide, nearly 12 hours after an Amber Alert was issued for his 3-year-old child.
Police say that 32-year-old Israel Celis Sr. sexually assaulted the mother of his child at gunpoint Monday evening in a hotel room in the 8300 block of W. Lynwood. He duct taped her, then grabbed his son and took off, according to police.
In a joint effort with Tolleson and Phoenix Police and U.S. Marshals, Celis was located at an address near 91st Ave and Camelback late Monday night. He refused to surrender to officers, and the negotiations continued throughout the night and morning.
During negotiations, there were a number of people inside the home -- Celis' son, a 9-year-old male, a 13-year-old female, 4 adult women, and an adult male. Over the course of the morning, 2 adult females escaped through a window, a third adult was released, and later, Celis' son and the 13-year-old child were let out about 7 a.m.
They were not hurt.
About 8 a.m., officers began hearing gunshots coming from the home. Officers employed an armored truck to breach the front of the home.
They extracted the adult male victim from the house. He suffered a non-life threatening injury.
As they continued to advance into the home, Celis allegedly fired upon officers. Officers used the armored truck as cover and fired rounds at the suspect. They drove nearly entirely into the house.
Celis retreated to a bedroom with the 9-year-old boy and 20-year-old female, Sgt. Steve Martos said. They continued negotiations for another 2 hours. Finally, police heard gunshots and made entry. They extracted the 9-year-old and 20-year-old and found the suspect dead.
Authorities say Celis had apparently shot himself. The other victims received minor injuries.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Giant Step For Jovanovski
Published October 04, 2010 12:00
BEIJING, China - Serbs stole the headlines at the China Open on Monday, with both of its top stars in action but one of them falling - to another Serb.
Watch live tennis from Beijing this week on TennisTV.com!
Over on Moon Court, Jelena Jankovic - the No.3 seed and the 2008 champion in Beijing - started strongly but couldn't keep her level in her second round match against Bojana Jovanovski, losing to her countrywoman, 46 62 62.
"Bojana played really well. She was solid off the baseline and really gave me a hard time," Jankovic said. "Since I twisted my ankle in Portoroz I really haven't found my form. I'm still trying to get back to the tennis I'd like to play, but I'm not there yet. I have to work hard and keep going to get back to that level."
Jovanovski collected her first Top 10 win over the No.7-ranked Jankovic.
"It was very hard to play Jelena. We are such good friends off the court, we go out for dinner together and enjoy each other's company," Jovanovski added. "It's a real shame two Serbian girls had to play first round, but you can't choose who you play. But I don't think Jelena was playing her best tennis today.
"I actually wasn't even sure if I should come to play Beijing. I was practicing well but kept losing first round everywhere, and after Tokyo I was just so mentally tired with the losses and frustrated my good play in practice wasn't translating into matches. In the end I decided to come though. It shows that if you keep practicing hard, the results at tournaments will come if you're patient."
"I know how it feels when you're young and moving up, and it's very exciting," Jankovic said of the 18-year-old Jovanovski. "Every match you win gives you the confidence and motivation to work even harder and be better. I just wish her the best of luck in the tournament as well as in the future."
In other second rounds, No.13 seed Nadia Petrova fired 10 aces in a 63 75 win over Alona Bondarenko and Maria Kirilenko beat Gisela Dulko, 62 36 62.
In a first round clash, Ana Ivanovic won five straight games from 3-1 down in the second set to upset No.11 seed Marion Bartoli, 62 63. "I tried to do a lot of things differently today and it worked," said Ivanovic, who lost to Bartoli in straight sets last week in Tokyo. "She's a tough opponent and I've lost to her the last couple of times, so it was really nice to have a win today."
The highest seed in action was Vera Zvonareva, the No.2 seed, and she overcame a losing head-to-head against Dinara Safina to beat her compatriot in just under two hours, 64 76(6). "Dinara is a great player. She has been No.1, so she will be a great player forever. It's always difficult to play against her," Zvonareva said. "I don't think either of us found our best tennis today, but you can't expect to play your best tennis in the first match of a tournament. New stadium, new balls, new atmosphere... you're trying to find your rhythm."
No.15 seed Shahar Peer, Alexandra Dulgheru, Sara Errani and Angelique Kerber also recorded first round wins on Day 3 of play in the Chinese capital. Kerber upset No.6 seed Agnieszka Radwanska - read more here.

The Moorpark Planning Commission has unanimously approved a permit for a new tattoo establishment.
The 960-square-foot tattoo studio will be located at 300 Los Angeles Ave, Ste. 306 in the Parking Lane Shopping Center, which currently offers a variety of restaurants, retail stores and a liquor store.
David Dominguez of Sugar Free Tattoo filed for the permit on Oct. 10, 2012. The permit allows for a tattoo and cosmetic tattoo parlor with five workstations, a break room and a storage room. The business will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
When asked by Planning Commissioner Bruce Hamous whether there was any push back from nearby Faith Lutheran Church with regards to the business' proposed hours of operation, Dominguez said there were no concerns or problems voiced by the church.
"It's good to see new businesses coming in and since there has been no push back from either the church or surrounding neighbors, I'm happy to see new businesses going in Moorpark and I would certainly support this project moving forward," said Planning Commissioner Diana Gould.
