Comments On Jun 08, 2014:This mudflap is stiffer than stock so that if it gets sucked into the rear tire, it might snap. Mine has been fine so far (even bent it up there once to check), but it's much stiffer than stock. Oh, and it has a small Cycra logo on it which some might not like. Other than that it's fine and works well so far (10 hrs of desert and moto riding).

AJL Member Interview
Reflections on the New York Mid-Winter Council Meeting
By Barbara Bietz, Chair, Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee
I recently returned from an inspiring weekend in New York attending the AJL Mid-Winter Board and Council Meeting. Earlier in January I experienced a flurry of activity for the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee and I was excited about the announcement of the 2011 Awards. It was so heartwarming to arrive in New York to discover that everyone from AJL was equally enthusiastic and appreciate of the committee's efforts. On Sunday night after the Board meeting, the SSC gang had a dinner meeting at Mr. Broadway (SSC is the Synagogue, School & Center division of AJL, which oversees the Sydney Taylor Book Award). Over pickles and stuffed cabbage, SSC President Joyce Levine led the group. We discussed important issues and brainstormed solutions, including outreach to library volunteers, updating our blog, and finding more way to reach out to the AJL community. As I looked at all the faces at the table I felt a sense of awe. Here we sat, a group of passionate, committed peoples from various parts of the country and Canada, with a shared mission – to promote Jewish libraries. Whether it's placing the perfect book in the right hands, educating others, or fundraising – it's all about doing the best for our communities.
The Monday morning Council meeting started early – with plenty of coffee and pastries for all! Development Chair and SSC Secretary Kathe Pinchuck shared an inspiring D'var Torah that underscored our commitment as a group. I didn't know what to expect from the meeting. AJL President Jim Rosenbloom encouraged everyone to share their thoughts and concerns. We tackled some serious challenges – from budget cuts to convention planning and more. There were respectful disagreements, but overall I was encouraged by the level of respect that everyone showed one another. There was a consensus about the importance of welcoming to new members, supporting local chapters, and helping library school students follow a path towards Judaica librarianship. Although much was accomplished, the meeting was also an opportunity for everyone to share good news, visit with old friends, and connect with new ones. I have a wonderful time in New York and feel honored to be part of the AJL family. There are lots of committees that need hands and hearts – so if you have a bit of time and you would like to participate, please consider AJL!

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A Dane County man is scheduled to be sentenced April 30th, after he pleaded no contest to causing a drunk driving death.
36-year-old Chad Spurley of Verona was convicted on his original charge of drunken homicide. But prosecutors agreed to ask a judge for a shorter sentence, in which Spurley would get 3 to 4 years behind bars plus 6-7 years of extended supervision.
Circuit Judge William Hanrahan could still sentence Spurley to as long as 15 years in prison.
Authorities said Spurley drove his SUV into a tree near Verona last April. His passenger, 36-year-old Davi Dohm of Madison, was killed.
Officials said Spurley's blood alcohol level at the time was 0.26 – over three times the legal limit for driving.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (March 30, 2013) – The Rutgers men's lacrosse team suffered a heartbreaking overtime loss, 10-9, to Providence at Yurcak Field on Saturday night.
Rutgers was led by an outstanding performance in net by freshman Kris Alleyne (New City, N.Y.), who totaled a career-high 25 saves (11 in the fourth quarter). Junior A Scott Klimchak (Clark, N.J.) posted three points on two goals and one assist, while freshman A Scott Bieda (Bridgewater, N.J.) posted a career-high three goals.
Alleyne's 25 saves were tied for the 11th most in RU history, while Klimchak notched his sixth multi-point game of the season.
The Scarlet Knights moved to 2-8 (0-3 BIG EAST), while Providence improved to 7-3 (1-2 BIG EAST). RU tallied 36 ground balls to the Friars' 25, but Providence held a 44 to 37 shot advantage. Sophomore FO Joseph Nardella (Cazenovia, N.Y.) won 15 of 23 faceoffs.
RU got on the board first with a goal by junior M Steve DiGiovanni (Cranford, N.J.). Junior M Matt Klimchak (Clark, N.J.) scored later in the opening quarter and the two teams were tied, 2-2, heading into the second stanza.
Bieda notched his first score of the game to open the second period coming from behind the goal and put the ball in the back of the net on a diving effort. Following two goals from the Friars, Bieda scored again in a mirror image of his first goal to start a 5-0 RU run. The Scarlet Knights scored the final four goals of the second quarter, including two from Klimchak, to end the half.
Freshman M Jacob Coretti (E. Grand Rapids, Mich.) started the third with a goal of his own, assisted by Klimchak, at 7:32, to give RU an 8-4 lead. Providence posted the next two scores before Bieda put his third ball in the back of the net to give the Scarlet Knights a 9-6 lead heading into the final quarter.
Providence scored three goals in the fourth period, all coming in the last 2:19 of the game, sending the contest into overtime at 9-9. With 54 seconds remaining in the first overtime, Friar Greg FitzMaurice scored his second-consecutive goal to give Providence the win.
Rutgers is back in action on the road, taking on conference-foe Villanova on the road on Saturday, April 6 at 7 p.m.

Art Barber was at home watching the Olympics when he recognized one of his company's products on screen with Matt Lauer. It was Charleston Forge's Oculus table, sitting between Lauer and the athletes he was interviewing.
"And we verified that it was our table," said Barber. "We found the paperwork where we shipped it to New York and it was tagged to go to the Olympics."
The response since its debut has been significant. Over the weekend, Barber says the Charleston Forge Facebook page grew by 600 'likes' and had nearly 8,500 page visits.
"A company like this suffers slow business due to a lack of visibility of our product. We make beautiful products. So, I just knew when I saw that table on TV, I had a feeling it was ours, and I just imagined what good exposure this could do for us and all of our people," he said.
While other businesses paid millions of dollars for Olympic exposure, Charleston Forge got the gold-medal spotlight on its "made in America" coffee table for free.
"And now there's a resurgence of an appreciation for American made, and it feels good," he said.

Bucks Claim Darnell Jackson
Category: Uncategorized
The Bucks have signed Darnell Jackson, formerly of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Jackson (6'9 253, and I don't know about that 253, more like 275) provides the Bucks with some additional size for the stretch run and will likely backup the Bucks power forwards and possibly could see a minute or two at center.
Ultimately, he' s an insurance policy and a big body in case something goes wrong up front. He immediately becomes the largest power forward on the Bucks roster. Last week, the Bucks brought in D-Leaguers Shavlik Randolph and Alexander Johnson as insurance at the four, but opted to sign Jackson instead.
Jackson appeared in 27 games for Cleveland this season, and a combined 78 games over the past two seasons with averages of 1.5 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.0 minutes. He started in two games for the Erie BayHawks (NBDL) this season and averaged 33.0 points and 11.5 rebounds per game.
Since he's been waived and claimed after March 1st, he will not be eligible for the playoffs.
The Bucks roster now stands at 15.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com if you must use e-mail.

Would D-Jack be eligible to playing in the playoffs or will he have to sit? A curious Cavs fan would like to know
Good pickup by the Bucks. He didn't get much tick w/ the Cavs, but he showed signs of potential when he did get some playing time, and also w/ Erie in the NBDL. Best of luck to him!!!
He will not be eligible for playoff basketball.

Careers with Significant Earning Potential
Find out which careers have the potential to lead to big bucks.
Want the opportunity to earn $100,000? You might be surprised at what careers have the potential to reach that number...
According to a 2011 Newport Beach budget report, more than half of the full-time lifeguards in Newport Beach, California make more than $100,000.
While the idea of making six figures fascinates many, it's important to keep in mind that most careers like this take time to build.
"It's great if you want to make $100,000 as an entry-level graphic designer but it's not going to happen," says Al Lee, director of quantitative analysis for PayScale, a database of compensation data.
However, putting in the time could pay off eventually. Art directors, for example, who often start as entry-level graphic designers, made $94,100 on average in 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Find Graphic Design Classes Now
To provide some insight on industries where the potential to earn is significant, we put together a list of careers where the top ten percent of earners average at $100K. Keep reading to learn more.
#1 - Business
Business may not exactly be booming these days but hiring is trending in the right direction, according to a June 2011 survey from the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs from leading U.S. companies. In its quarterly survey of top CEOs, the association found that most large companies plan to increase hiring and capital spending over the next six months. Nearly nine in 10 believe sales will rise.
Here are two business careers on the upswing:
Management Analyst
Potential Earnings: $138,790*
Management analysts, who are sometimes called management consultants, help companies increase profits as well as the overall efficiency of their operations.
Outlook: Employment of management analysts is expected to grow 24 percent through 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

#2 - Information Technology
The job market is specialized these days and the IT industry reflects that, says Coy Renick, president of The Renick Group, a staffing firm in Roanoke, Virginia. Renick says that getting certified in a specific area can sometimes help you get hired since many IT positions require a certain kind of technical expertise. Certifications can cover a general area like database technology or a specific product and company like Cisco.
Here are two IT careers that offer the potential to reach significant earnings:
Database Administrator
Potential Earnings: $115,660*
Database administrators are computer specialists who help store, organize, and manage information for every industry imaginable, though most positions are in the IT sector.

Medical Services Manager
Potential Earnings: $144,880*
Medical services managers often help oversee the finance, sales, and project management of the health care industry.
Outlook: Employment opportunities for medical services managers will grow 16 percent through 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Education: In addition to a bachelor's degree in an area like health care administration or business administration, many medical managers have an MBA that specializes in health services, according to the Department of Labor. Other medical services managers may specialize in a specific field not unique to health care, like finance or human resources.
Search for Health Care Degree Programs Right Now
Physician Assistant
Potential Earnings: $117,720*
Physician assistants provide medical care (like physicals, for example) under the supervision of doctors.
Outlook: Employment opportunities for physician assistants will surge 39 percent through 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

How can something that looks so pretty sound so awful? HDTVs aren't really known for having great sound. You can dedicate the time and the space to a full-blown sound system or give that TV a little boost with something like the Bose Solo TV.
Bose just announced this single-speaker product, which is designed for everyday TV watching. It includes Bose digital signal processing and the company's speaker array technology, promising better dialogue, music, action and sound effects. Also, it's easy to install.
The Solo TV System connects via one cable to the TV and one plug to the wall. That's it; no wiring or tweaking is needed. The unit also comes with its own remote, but should be compatible with your beloved universal controller.
Measuring just 2.8-by-20.7-by-12 inches, the speaker was designed to sit under flat-panel TVs with a base up to 20 inches wide and 10.25-inches deep. In other words, it should pair up nicely with TVs between 32 and 42 inches.
"TV picture quality has improved over the years, but its audio quality hasn't," said Doug Lankford, Bose's director of home theater product marketing. "The Bose Solo TV sound system was developed for the love of TV—for people who don't want a home theater system. It delivers detailed sound at any volume, without the complications or intrusions of multiple components. One listen, and you'll realize how much you've been missing in your favorite shows."
Bose will start selling the Solo TV system on August 30, 2012. Expect to see it listed with an MSRP of $399.95.
Swann is looking to combine security, home automation, energy management, and more.

Editors' review
Music-finding app SoundHound has changed names and pricing structures throughout the course of its modest lifetime, but its philosophy and core functionality remain unchanged. Unlike competitors that require you to hold the app close to the source of recorded music before it can ID your song title, lyrics, and artist information, SoundHound Infinity (the premium version) works even when you sing, hum, speak, or type a request into the stylish interface. Though the app is now faster than before--returning results in as few as 4 seconds--ambient noise may still interfere with accurate results, and typing usually prevailed in the rare case that singing into the speaker or holding the iPhone up to a music source failed.
There are music videos to watch, when available from YouTube, and song lyrics, either delivered right to you, or in the form of an in-app Google search. Trend charts show you how popular a song is vis a vis the publisher's online and mobile network, and you can see which songs other users have identified. Cleverly, SoundHound can also hook into your iPhone's iPod library and produce the same info and lyrics for songs you already own.
Take heed that SoundHound Infinity is no song downloader, though it can help you buy music through iTunes. The iPad version looks even better, keeping the song-finding features on the left while surfacing videos, titles, and other related information in the main panel on the right. SoundHound (the company) also offers a free version of the app that limits the number of times you can ID a song to five per month.

- Matt McCall
Matt McCall enters his third season at Florida, having helped the Gators to the 2013 SEC Championship and a pair of Elite Eight appearances in the NCAA Tournament. McCall has made an immediate impact on recruiting at UF, where he helped secure a consensus top-10 recruiting class for the upcoming season.
McCall returned to the Gators having previously worked with the UF men's basketball program while earning his undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Florida. His hiring on April 25, 2011, came after three seasons as an assistant coach at Florida Atlantic where he served under Mike Jarvis.
Florida has a 55-19 record (.743) during his tenure, as the Gators went 29-8 in 2012-13 and posted a 26-11 record in 2011-12. During the 2012-13 campaign, the Gators went 12-3 in McCall's scouts, which included dominant wins over Wisconsin and Florida State, a sweep of rival Georgia, UF's SEC-clinching win vs. Vanderbilt and the NCAA Round of 32 victory against Minnesota.
In each of the Ocala native's three seasons at FAU, the Owls improved dramatically. After a 6-26 record in 2009, FAU jumped to a 14-16 mark in 2009-10, but posted a 10-8 finish in the Sun Belt Conference. Finally, in 2010-11, the Owls posted the school's highest win total at the Division I level, finishing with a 21-11 mark, a Sun Belt championship and an appearance in the NIT, which marked just the second postseason berth in program history. FAU posted a mid-season eight-game win streak, which is a school-best since competing in Division I.
While with the Owls, McCall developed a reputation as an energetic recruiter, helping the Owls bring in several recruits, including Greg Gantt and Dennis Mavin from the Gainesville area and Raymond Taylor from Miami. Gantt was among conference and national scoring leaders and three-point shooters as he helped the Owls make the jump from six to 14 wins in 2009-10. In addition to his recruiting prowess, McCall focused on the backcourt and in-game adjustments, as well as helping coordinate coaches' and players' camps throughout the year.
McCall originally joined the UF program as a student manager in the 2002-03 season and became the head manager the following year. After earning his degree in exercise and sports science in 2004, McCall continued with the program while earning his master's in secondary education in May 2006, McCall accepted a position as Florida's director of basketball operations, which he held for two seasons from 2006-08, including UF's second national title run in the 2006-07 season.
In total, the Gators earned two national championships, three straight SEC Tournament titles and an SEC championship during McCall's first stint with the program. The Basketball Times has featured McCall as one of the nation's up-and-coming young coaches.
McCall is the son of Beth and Wayne McCall. Wayne, a prominent Ocala attorney, was a linebacker and three-year letterwinner on the Gator football team from 1965-67.
McCall married the former Allison Rios in May 2012.

Smoke that residents saw towering in southwest Valley skies was coming from a hay fire that erupted Wednesday morning.
Units were mobilized at 10:15 a.m. after the fire was reported at a dairy near Southern Avenue and Palo Verde Road, south of the Buckeye Municipal Airport.
There was no structural damage other than to the barn where the tightly rolled and compacted hay was stored, said Karen Alexander, a spokeswoman for the Buckeye Valley Fire District.
Alexander said the fire, which rekindled later in the day, was contained to an area of about 12,000 square feet.
The fire is likely to smolder for several days.

In my last post, "A closer look at the MySQL ibdata1 disk space issue and big tables," I looked at the growing ibdata1 problem under the perspective of having big tables residing inside the so-called shared tablespace. In the particular case that motivated that post, we had a customer running out of disk space in his […]
When (and how) to move an InnoDB table outside the shared tablespace
How to move the InnoDB log sequence number (LSN) forward
This post focuses on the problem of the InnoDB log sequence number being in the future. Preface: What is an InnoDB log sequence number? The Log sequence number (LSN) is an important database parameter used by InnoDB in many places. The most important use is for crash recovery and buffer pool purge control. Internally, the InnoDB […]
Unexpected problem with triggers and mysqldump
Some time ago, I had to convert all tables of a database from MyISAM to InnoDB on a new server. The plan was to take a logical dump on the master, exporting separately the schema and the data, then edit the CREATE TABLE statements to ensure all tables are created with InnoDB, and reload everything […]
Best kept MySQLDump Secret
Many people use mysqldump –single-transaction to get consistent backup for their Innodb tables without making database read only. In most cases it works, but did you know there are some cases when you can get table entirely missing from the backup if you use this technique ? The problem comes from the fact how MySQL's […]
Improved InnoDB fast index creation
One of the serious limitations in the fast index creation feature introduced in the InnoDB plugin is that it only works when indexes are explicitly created using ALTER TABLE or CREATE INDEX. Peter has already blogged about it before, here I'll just briefly reiterate other cases that might benefit from that feature: when ALTER TABLE […]
InnoDB page sizes: plans and ideas
It is well known fact that InnoDB standard page size is 16K or 16384 bytes. Sometime ago we added feature to Percona Server to change that to 4K or 8K (innodb_page_size). That maybe useful for SSD that operates with 4K blocks and you can get really much better throughput with 4K ( however we need […]
Thinking about running OPTIMIZE on your Innodb Table ? Stop!
Innodb/XtraDB tables do benefit from being reorganized often. You can get data physically laid out in primary key order as well as get better feel for primary key and index pages and so using less space, it is just OPTIMIZE TABLE might not be best way to do it. If you're running Innodb Plugin on […]
An argument for not using mysqldump
I have a 5G mysqldump which takes 30 minutes to restore from backup. That means that when the database reaches 50G, it should take 30×10=5 hours to restore. Right? Wrong.
InnoDB: look after fragmentation
One problem made me puzzled for couple hours, but it was really interesting to figure out what's going on. So let me introduce problem at first. The table is
CREATE TABLE `c` (
`tracker_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`username` char(20) character set latin1 collate latin1_bin NOT NULL,
`time_id` date NOT NULL,
`block_id` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`tracker_id`,`username`,`time_id`),
KEY `block_id` (`block_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB
Table has 11864696 rows and takes Data_length: 698,351,616 bytes on disk The problem is that after restoring table from mysqldump, the query that scans data […]
State of the art: Galera – synchronous replication for InnoDB
First time I heard about Galera on Percona Performance Conference 2009, Seppo Jaakola was presenting "Galera: Multi-Master Synchronous MySQL Replication Clusters".

Katy Perry is three for three when it comes to best-selling albums. According to Billboard , her latest disc, Prism, has just topped the one million mark. It took just 11 weeks to reach that milestone. By comparison, her smash 2010 album Teenage Dream took 20 weeks to sell a million.
Prism has also just spun off its second top 10 hit as Yahoo! Chart Watch notes. "Dark Horse," Katy's third single from the disc, jumps to #6 on the Hot 100. "Roar," the album's first single, reached #1, but its second, "Unconditionally," to date has failed to crack the top 10.
Meanwhile, Katy's boyfriend John Mayer has some news of his own: Rolling Stone reports that he's just hired Lady Gaga 's old manager, Troy Carter , who she split with last year, right before the release of ARTPOP . The break was reportedly due to "creative differences."
Carter was seen as instrumental in Gaga's rise to success, especially when it came to business partnerships. However, Gaga recently wrote on her social networking site that she had been "betrayed" and "gravely mismanaged" by unnamed people; some felt she was referring to Carter.
John split with his longtime manager in December. While no direct cause and effect has been mentioned, the move did come after John's album Paradise Valley failed to debut at #1: the first time since 2006 that he missed the top spot. A source tells Rolling Stone that the partnership between Carter and John is "just getting started but great new things will be announced as the year progresses."

Is the idea of addressing our body language a back door approach to solving the real underlining social issues of the individual?
I understand that connections are made between how we view ourselves and how we portray that confidence or lack of confidence through our body language . However, I'm not entirely convinced that this theory of how altering body language can alter our personal perspective of ourself.
Topics: Theory of Confidence body language
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 16 2013: As Body language plays a major role in our social issues at least 60% it is an approach that needs to be worked on constantly. However the 30% tonality and 10% verbal communication cannot be ignored, constant self development is a must if we want to go from where we are to where we want to be in our own personal journey. Moreover our outside perception has to be worked on from what we put inside us, in order to be extraordinary people we have to work on all areas of our lives.

Heavy winter snowfalls made wood-gathering difficult at Old Togiak, so gradually people settled at a new site on the opposite shore, where the task was easier. Many residents of the Yukon-Kuskokwim region migrated south to the Togiak area after the devastating influenza epidemic in 1918-19. A school was established in an old church in 1950. A school building and a National Guard armory were constructed in 1959. Togiak was flooded in 1964, and many fish racks and stores of gas, fuel oil, and stove oil were destroyed. Three or four households left Togiak after the flood and developed the village of Twin Hills upriver. The city government was incorporated in 1969.

Education Is Key When It Comes To Nutrition
You probably know that good nutrition is a critical part of staying thin, but you may not know that eating well is important for getting the most out of your exercise routine. Eating a full and balanced diet is important for a healthy lifestyle, even though it might be overwhelming. The truth is that it is not difficult to eat in a healthy way, if you are consistent about it. This article has advice on how to become healthier overall.
Stay away from food that contains trans fat, which can be seen in highly processed food. You increase your chance of heart disease by consuming foods loaded in trans fat. Trans fats lead to a higher level of unhealthy cholesterol and lower good cholesterol.
Ground turkey, especially lean varieties, can be substituted for ground beef in any recipe. Ground turkey meat does not have as many calories or as much saturated fat as beef. Be sure that you choose ground turkey breast and not dark meat, as this type of turkey is similar in nutritional content to ground beef. Also be aware that some brands of ground turkey use both dark and breast meat, so you will not get the full benefits of less saturated fat.
To reduce the amount of fat in your diet, try cooking vegetables using water instead of oil. Steaming and boiling vegetables are tasty and better for you than fried ones. If oil is a must for you, use only a small amount of vegetable oil in place of butter.
It is important to cook mushrooms thoroughly prior to eating. Mushrooms contain carcinogens, and cooking them thoroughly will break them down and keep them from harming your body. Watch your health as it can interfere with your metabolism.
Different body types require different levels of nutrition. Sticking to the advice here will help you find the balanced diet that's right for you. Once you get going on the right track, you'll reap the rewards of feeling better and looking great.

How do you prepare your body and mind to meditate for ten minutes without feeling anxious?
Looking for ideas to help relax your body for ten minutes without feeling like your wasting time. I always think of the things I could accomplish when I am trying to meditate. Wondering how does one prepare their body to fully close off surrounding thoughts?

Mark Kurtz 20+Feb 8 2013: Look on the Internet for Centering Prayer writings by Father Keating. He resurrected an ancient technique of using a secret word to help you return to a quiet mind, helping a person to empty the mind. You choose your secret word and use that to return to quietness of mind. The main point is rid the daily "trash" and business to allow new thoughts. He recommends 20 minutes and others here below offered good suggestions. Discipline and habit are vital and soon it becomes easier and normal.
For meditation it is your thoughts that count and if a person is determined, dedicated, honest, and sincere, there will be benefits. Daily trash must get out of the way to unblock the possibilities.
Why the anxiety? Is there fear of what could happen or a fear of not getting other things done? For each person the issues are different.
Don't give up. Real leaders do listen at quiet time. Imagine the many places and projects that need good leaders!

Comments about Washburn B9 5-String Banjo:
I used about 20 of these to teach a summer course at a local school. For a starter this is a great little banjo. Don't expect anything huge from the instrument, but for the price, and if you are learning, this is a great instrument.

Comments about Washburn B9 5-String Banjo:
this banjo, in short, is terrible. i had major fret buzz problems which had to do with a warping neck within 3 months of purchase. the pot is made out of aluminum...the rim rod bent from tension in the same amount of time. the tuners are garbage also. if you want an entry level banjo, buy a gold tone or a deering good time

A special fan screening of all the "Star Wars" films which was to be held in New York was canceled after creator George Lucas threatened legal action over the event.
Bing: Summer blockbusters
A group of sci-fi devotees had organized a 13-hour "Star Wars" movie marathon for 200 fans in a bar in Brooklyn last Sunday, but the screening was called off after organizers received a cease-and-desist letter from Lucas' lawyers. The letter cited copyright infringements and added that there was a moratorium on public "Star Wars" screenings.
Organizer Mike DeVito tells the New York Post, "I've seen the Star Wars movies about 150 times but never in one long run together, and I thought it would be great to put something like this together for like-minded people. ... What bothers me most is that they waited until the last minute to notify us, so we couldn't get a chance to try working something out. ... It wasn't as if we were making money off it."

DeVito added that Lucas "has crossed over" and now gives Darth Vader "a run for his money." Lucasfilm did not reply to the New York Post's requests for comment.

Easy Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms
Was needing a quick and easy appetizer the other day, and (as often seems to be the case) was craving pesto. So decided to just make a batch of easy pesto stuffed mushrooms! It is hardly a recipe to post — just mushrooms, your favorite pesto, and you can top them with a variety of little garnishes. But they were so cute and delicious that I thought they were worth sharing.
I'm counting down the days until I can start growing basil plants again. Summer is almost here!!!
Easy Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms
- 1 lb. cremini or button mushrooms
- 1/2 cup of your favorite pesto, either homemade or storebought
- optional garnishes: shaved Parmesan or other cheeses, toasted pine nuts, and/or Panko breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, or preheat a smoker.
Carefully remove and discard the stems of the mushrooms, then clean to remove any dirt with a damp cloth. Fill mushroom cavity with pesto (approx. 1 tsp.). Top with a pinch of Panko if desired. Bake or smoke for about 15 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked and the filling is warm. Garnish with cheese and/or toasted pine nuts.
Ali's Tip:
These would also be delicious with some crumbled cooked Italian sausage or crabmeat mixed in with the pesto.

FLORENCE, SC(WMBF) Students at one Pee Dee school walked outside to find an army attack helicopter in their parking lot. One organization is giving kids the chance to learn outside the classroom, And inside an attack helicopter! But it's not just for fun.
Their visit to West Florence High School is part of a the US Army's Celebrate Freedom Foundation mission.
The goal is to improve student performance, especially for at-risk kids.
Students at one Pee Dee high school walked out to find a helicopter sitting in their parking lot.
Program organizers hope a few minutes inside the AH1 Cobra Attack Army Helicopter cock pit will keep students in school, and expose them to different career options in engineering and technology.
"I learned a lot, my experience was incredible - it was incredible," said senior Dwayne Gunn.
That's the reaction most West Florence High students had when they walked out to find an army attack helicopter sitting in the parking lot.
"This is a $10 million aircraft and the school can't afford that," said Larry Russell, board member of the Celebrate Freedom Foundation.
The army donated the chopper to the Celebrate Freedom Foundation as an educational and recruitment tool.
"To bring technology to the schools to help connect the classroom with the real-world jobs," said Jack Lovelady, president of the Celebrate Freedom Foundation.
The foundation started Project SOaR (Schools/Students Opportunities and Rewards), traveling to 'at risk schools' educating students about the different career opportunities in technology and engineering, even offering up lesson plans.
"We help provide teachers with lesson plans to teach them science, technology, engineering and math, so many schools now don't do that and we've lost a lot of industrial edge in the country because all of our technicians have gone away," said Russell.
Project SOaR directors give students the opportunity to sit in the cock pit of the chopper and teach them about all the components that help get the helicopter in flight.
"We get these kids out here and we show them if you don't want to fly, you can be a mechanic or you can work on the radios, or you can work at a paint body shop, there's all kinds of opportunities that you can do in the military and get a pre-career," said Russell.
And some students say this experience may even change their career paths.
"I would actually work for this, this is really interesting and it would make me change my mind," said junior Vincent Hsu.
Now students can continue with this experience.
Project SOaR directors tell me they are offering scholarships for an aviational space summer program for high school students.
The SOaR tour continues Friday at Dillon High school.

Been coming here for years, Sophia is great!
Emma did a wonderful Jon with my hair which is quite difficult as it is curly-she is a very talented lady!
I tried this salon based on a recommendation from a friend and I'm very pleased to say it was worth it! I've got really fine, hard to manage hair which I've been highlighting for years and wanted a change. I talked through some options with John who is one of the senior colourists there and kind of let him go for it- I'm so pleased with the result, he got it spot on despite my vague instructions! Caroline also did an incredible job cutting my hair and gave me some very helpful tips on how to style it day to day and what products would be best. Will be back again for sure.
STAY AWAY from this salon!!!! I went to have a haircut yesterday with Ben. I have long hair and when he asked me how I feel about it I said "I love it". During the hair cut he seemed to be struggling with it saying that its tons of hair and so on. After he finished the front looked nice enough, but nothing special (I have had far better haircuts in the past in other hair salons) the back looked ok but I was not crazy about it. The next day having seen it properly I realised he had cut some horrible layers that are sticking out and instead of cutting very little as we had agreed he had taken off almost 10 cm from the back and left a big gap between the layers and the rest of the hair. I specifically told him I want a low maintenance haircut. The way he cut it it will only look just about passable if I blow dry and style it every time. Disappointing experience, horrible hairstylist who gets paid £80 to make the hair look worse than before it was cut. They would have to pay me that amount of money to come out looking like that and I would not accept it. Would not recommend it!
Can't say how long I've been coming here but for def almost a century! Caroline is the best-rewards handsomely and thanks for the cake!
Fabulous place My faverite Fabulous place My faverite hair salonwith fantastic service. Ben is the best, always leaves me happy!B Love my hair !
Can't say how long I have been coming here but def I'm on a century!! Caroline is the best- reward handsomely + thanks for the cake
I have been using this salon with all my family for over 10 YEARS!!!!! I would never EVER use anyone else. It is a centre of excellance; a truely fabulous place
Pros....... Sophia Cons..... no mini kitkats anymore :)
I come to Brooks and Brooks whenever I am in London and I always recieve a good service. Also AMAZING blowdries!!!!
Thanks to Rosie for my fantastic new haircut. Absolutely love it. You've made me really happy
Thanks Brooks and Brooks. I love coming in
Thank you to Ben and John for being so wonderful, I am so lucky!
amazing as always! i love you all
always good service. people and hair service.
excellent service would recommend
Fabulous cut and colour curtisy of Russel and Sarah as usual! Thanks!
Best colour ever! and i did'nt really know what i wanted but sophia, as ever figured it out and made my ropey mop look fabulous!
SAlly is proberbly the best hairdresser in London! Totally trust her to cut and style my hair. John is an amazing colourist. My hair has never been better!
Brilliant-worked with exactly what i wanted and listened and listened to my concerns. Might of wanted to see a colour swatch beforehand.
I've always hated my hair, but Sophia made me feel so at ease i looked at options i have never thought of before. She made small changes to build my confidence and now I don't even have to say anything- she just knows. My colour is beautiful. Thank you Sophia! Anna Jenkins (Friday appointments, teacher)
Kim was great! First time and she did a great Job!
Carlonie and Sarah are great! Cut and colour fab! i look HOT!
My first visit to Brooks & Brooks had a lasting impression. I was welcomed with a warm smile and treated like a valued client. The salon has a relaxed atmosphere and is blessed with motivated and passionate stylists. Clayton is a detailed and professional stylist with a positive and creative approach to his work. I loved my Brooks experience and will be returning for another Clay cut!
I am very particular about my hair and tend to feel let down most of the time I get my hair cut. However Rosie at brooks and brooks was excellent, she listened to what I wanted and built upon my ideas and I ended up with a really great haircut.
Balliage saved my life -as did Sophia! I don't really like having my hair done, well, i didn't until i met Sophia. I always ended up much blonder than i wanted to be. I don't think I'm an easy customer to be honest. But when i met Sophia 3 years ago i have really relaxed. I now have my hair highlighted with a balliage technique. i hated sitting for hours with lots of foil and i hated how much it cost, not to mention how blond it was! Balliage means I'm in and out in an hour and a half, I'm a soft natural blonde for the first time in my life and it costs me less! i get a full head for the price of a half head! Now my daughter comes to Brooks and Brooks and my husband!
Wanting a new look I decided to try Brooks and Brooks. The atmosphere in the salon was friendly and relaxed. I was booked with Taku. After a brief consultation, we decided that my hair would benefit from a colour and luckily John was free to do this, while I was treated to tea and biscuits! Then back to Taku for a fantastic new hairstyle. He explained to me how to maintain the style....but I have found the cut is so good that it needs little help from me! This is the best haircut I have had in a long while and I've had many compliments from friends and family. Taku is an experienced and extremely talented stylist and I recommend him wholeheartedly.
Had a great experience at Brooks & Brooks, the salon has a very professional, yet relaxed feel. I was desperate for a new style and was recommended by a friend to see Kim Rance. Kim gave me a fantastic new style, showed me how to style it myself and also showed me products to suit my thick hair. Kim was really lovely and helpful with any questions I had. I am now recommending the salon and especially Kim to all my friends.
Excellent! Will definitely recommend!
After doing loads of research online RE brazillian blow dry and the best salons to go with, it was between this one and 3 others. Before I start let me say that I am mixed race and have naturally curly hair. When I had called the very friendly receptionist advised because its my first time at the salon, I must come for a consulation. This I really appreciated because I needed to be sure that they could deal with my hair. The following day arrived and was greeted, quickly introduced to Valerie and offered me a coffee. The treatment was amazing! And Valerie explained every process and procedure while we had some great convo... The problem for me came when I was to have my hair styled. As an experienced salon, winning countless awards, you would think they would know how to deal with all times of hair. The stylist Emma, seemed completely uncomfortable with my texture and didn't know the first thing about how to deal with my hair. At one point I had to take over.... Although I left with a good treatment, I did not get that salon finish/look when I walked out. Considering the price I paid, I now have to go home and straighten and style my hair myself. This was a real let down as I had high hopes for this place. Would not be going back.
I am really fussy about my hair but have no problem putting it in the hands of Sophia at Brooks + Brooks. I love the atmosphere in the salon it's always buzzing and located in Sicilian Avenue it's a perfect central London location.
Love this salon - Russell is my usual stylist and he is a no fuss great cutter - perfect - would definitely recommend
Had a good haircut with Fern, she asked me what kind of look I preferred, did a nice blow dry/finish. She didn't seem too friendly/a bit of attitude but I boiled it down to personal style. But I did sort of feel like I was the one doing all the smiling and trying to make the appointment pleasant. For 45 pounds I'd like some kind and friendly service as well. Also went in for the complimentary fringe trim most salons offer, she was very brisk, sort of butchered the fringe making it choppy and uneven. When she finished, just walked off, no eye contact, smile or anything. I do think it is an excellent salon but if I go back, I'd go with a different stylist.
