Current Category: Gretchen Rossi
Tamra Barney recently joked on a local news station that she ran Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino out the OC. Why did they really leave Real Housewives of Orange County, and what are they doing now?
Some of the couples are engaged. Some are married. All are comfortable sharing their personal struggles on reality television. That's the summary of the upcoming Marriage Boot Camp season 2 cast: Bachelorette's Trista Sutter, Jersey Shore's JWoww, Braxton Family Values' Traci Braxton, Bad Girls Club's Tanisha Thomas and Real Housewives of Orange County's Gretchen Rossi […]
According to multiple sources, Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County for Season 9. Find out what insider sources had to say about the decision and who's confirmed to be returning.
On the second part of a three-part Real Housewives of Orange County reunion tonight the cast-members accuse Gretchen Rossi of proposing to Slade Smiley just to get herself a storyline for the show. What do you think?
Tonight on the first part of The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion, Tamra digs up some old skeletons' of Gretchen's. Did she really cheat on her ailing fiance?
On last night's Real Housewives of Orange County, Gretchen Rossi went next level for her proposal to Slade Smiley with part of the extravagant question-popping being a professionally recorded song! That's right Housewives fans, we've got a new entry into the ever-growing Real Housewives soundtrack of our reality lives. Take a listen and let us know if it gets your tears flowing like it did Slade's and get Gretchen's reaction when a fellow Housewife demanded that she sing it live.
The Real Housewives of Orange County's Gretchen Rossi played hostess to Tao Las Vegas' 2nd Annual World's Largest Bachelorette Party over the weekend, which included showing off one of the best bikini bodies in reality television at Tao Beach, and partying it up with Kendra Wilkinson and dancers from the Chippendales review!
Slade Smiley is just as much of a fixture on the Real Housewives of Orange Country franchise as Vicki Gunvalson. He may have disappeared for a few seasons, but he's one of the constant, mainly because he keeps dating women on the show. It's a pretty big joke that's faded since he's now been with Gretchen Rossi with four years, and they're engaged, but it's worth a trip down memory lane since RHOC is celebrating it's 100 episode tonight.
In celebration of a major milestone for the franchise that started it all, Bravo Media will premiere "The Real Housewives of Orange County: 100th Episode Special" on Monday, June 24 at 8pm ET/PT. This epic two-hour documentary special explores the Housewives phenomenon and how it has impacted the lives of the women and their families who have been featured on the show. New, unfiltered and revealing interviews with both current and former housewives are featured alongside memorable clips from the past eight seasons. Keep reading for the full press release and an exclusive group photo of the OC ladies through the years!

When Sevendust headed into the studio to record their ninth studio album, Black Out the Sun , the band decided to try something they had never done before. Frontman Lajon Witherspoon says that the band experimented with a new songwriting process for the forthcoming release, which is due on March 26.
"We entered the studio with no music really and no lyrics for any songs," he tells Alternative Addiction . "We wrote the whole album in 28 days and it was a really fresh outlook. I think after being away for a year and to get back together, it was easy for us to come up with ideas and hone in on something we've been doing our entire lives."
The singer also reveals that he plans on make a solo album after Sevendust finishes its current tour. "Once this album has taken its course and Sevendust slows down again, I'll start working on my solo stuff," he explains. "I think it will always have that Sevendust sound to it…but I think my stuff will definitely have rock and a lot more soul. And I plan on not shutting the door to anyone who would want to work with me."

Enhance developer productivity, usability & security
URL Re-writing with Red Hat's Lincoln Baxter III
In this talk at JAXconf 2012, Lincoln Baxter III, Senior Software Engineer at the legendary Red Hat, talks about URL shortening and re-writing and how it can affect the productivity, usability, and security of your applications. Java EE is already the perfect solution for complex business/enterprise systems and provides all the tools and foundations required to deliver scalable, performant applications for a wide variety of customers and clients. But how does the end user experience stack up? How easy is it to navigate through your Website? Is your code full of nasty navigation logic? Are your links clear, transparent, and informative? Do you find yourself adding '?query=parameters' in order to serve dynamic content from your application? Can you ensure that you are not leaking information in your URLs, and that your applications are secure from URL-based attacks? Are your old links making it difficult to migrate or integrate a legacy application to a new one? These are all things that URL rewriting can help with, and if you are uncertain about any of these questions, this talk is for you. See what's possible with the power of URL-rewriting.

Summit Notebook
Exclusive outtakes from industry leaders
Napolitano: recommendations split on threat color system
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says she is reviewing recommendations on the color-coded threat alert system and experts are evenly split over its usefulness.
She said the committee of experts that made the recommendations to her were "equally divided, 50-50″ on whether the color-coded threat alert system developed after the Sept. 11 attacks was useful. It currently stands at "yellow" for elevated.
One recommendation the experts gave her is when the code becomes elevated, after a certain number of days it ought to automatically revert back to the lower level unless a decision is made to intentionally leave it higher.
"The problem is once you raise the level it is virtually impossible to reduce it for a number of political and public affairs reasons. So there would be an automatic revert once it were raised after a certain number of days," she said at a Reuters Washington Summit. "I think that kind of recommendation makes a lot of sense."
Welcome to the Travel and Leisure Summit 2009
The travel and leisure industry is facing its worst downturn since 2001, as the recession eats away at companies' travel budgets and forces individuals to cancel trips. Airlines are planning a drastic dip in capacity as demand for flights evaporates, and hotels and casinos are doing their best to adapt to the new reality after an unprecedented three-year boom. Already two casino operators have filed for bankruptcy and more may follow.
Chief executives of some of the world's foremost airlines, hotel and casino companies will address the economic challenges and how they plan to survive them at Reuters Travel and Leisure Summit, to be held in New York, on March 2-4, 2009.
The Summit will generate a series of exclusive interviews and articles from our team of expert reporters, as well as regular blog postings and online video.

Bloomberg Businessweek recently ranked the West Virginia
University College of Business and Economics as the ninth best undergraduate
business school in the nation for return on investment.
The magazine ranked 124 top-ranked business schools based on
dividing median starting salary per graduate by annual tuition. WVU's ROI was
calculated at $7.77. The top-ranked school was the University of
Massachusetts-Amherst at $31.21, in part because its annual tuition is $1,714.
WVU's tuition was $5,794.
"Congratulations to all of us, but particularly to our
students who have made a great investment decision," said Jose
"Zito" Sartarelli dean of the WVU business school. "Now, more
than ever, parents are focusing on their children getting a great education,
job placement, and good return on their investments. This ranking reinforces
the value of a business education at B&E and motivates us even more to
ensure that such a return is always there."

We all know that saving money requires sacrificing luxuries such as nice shoes, restaurant meals, and nights out on the town. But saving money isn't just about cutting back on one-off items, it's also about minimising monthly expenses.

A Day At The Museum
With shuffling stomping out-of-shape masses who have a plan and a map and anxiety at the realization or just fear of the group metastasising, of losing their 6 year old daughter to the imaginary pervert probably lurking behind the Seurat probably scheming to take their 6 year old daughter to buy her ice cream (guilt that they haven't) and play with her forever (guilt that they can't.) With pretty forever-teenage Asian girls in skinny jeans posing on staircases giggling as if possessed by teletubbies. With a student painting a painting of a painting which is a fascinating process to watch, sure, but is it art? With Miro's Circus Horse and Lefebvre's Odalisque and whole rooms of Monets in nursery pastels that wash over my troubled soul like heroin or evening lilacs. With myself swearing an oath that I will never again visit the art museum with an artist and will never again feel bad about loving what I love because another ego demands it. With the desire to skip and twirl through the Modern Wing flooded with irrational winter sunlight and summer warmth to say aloud, "This is ours! This is all ours, don't you see?" With two college kids pleading bewilderedly obliviously with an entry guard who has informed them they may not bring the pizza they've just ordered into the museum.
A personal General Strike.
A Kafkaesque Bureaucracy of Concern
You have to stay safe. You have to get better. You have to do the work to get better. You have to go to work. You can't go to work. You can't afford not to work. You can't afford to worry about that now. Why aren't you worried what will happen? I am so worried about you. You have us all worried. You worry too much, You have to find something that makes you happy. No one can make you happy. Happiness is choice. You are responsible for your own happiness. You are responsible for your own welfare. You are responsible for your own life. If I think you'll hurt yourself it is my responsibility to have you hospitalized. These are your options. You have options. You don't have a choice. You can't do that. There is no such thing as can't. You have to make your own decisions. No one can do this for you. Why do you think you have to do this on your own? Why are you so afraid to ask for help? Why are you doing this to us? Why do you think you are special? Do you think the rest of us don't suffer? Everyone gets depressed but we get up and go to work because we don't have a choice. You've made a choice to be depressed. You are not depressed, you are [lazy, self-pitying, irresponsible, weak, stubborn, self-involved, a wreck, generally pissing me off please stop calling.] Why do you want to die? Why can't you see what I see in you? You are young and intelligent and attractive, warm and engaging, funny. You are brave and courageous. I admire your determination and willingness to face your problems. I admire your ability to take risks and be resilient. I admire your honesty and candor. Your writing is so beautiful it makes me cry. You better not be lying to me. Lying in bed and crying wont fix anything. You've lost a lot; it's normal to cry. It's normal to feel this way. It's a normal reaction to trauma. It's a normal reaction to loss. It's a normal reaction to having to live in this world am I right? But you probably do have a chemical imbalance. You probably have a personality disorder. You probably just think too much. You probably just need a vacation. You've made a lot of progress. Give yourself some credit. Let me know if there is anything I can do. I'm sorry there's nothing I can do for you.
Broadway Bus Exchange
Lady: Sweetheart, while you textin on you phone can you send Jesus a texmessage fo me?
Me: Ok. What should I tell him?
Lady: Tell him, "Jesus, I love you!" And I love you too sweetheart.
Me: I love you to. I don't think I have Jesus' number. Do you know it?
Lady: Haha! Yeah, send the text to JESUSINEEDYOU!
Me: If only it were that easy.
Her expression changed from urban goofball to urban voodoo woman. She raised an eyebrow and pointed a long fingernail at me. "Oooh. Oooh, you." She shook her head in a knowing way. She got off the bus but kept looking back at me like I was a phantom.
Ghost Neighborhood
I have (this is true now – I am not telling you a story) dreams in which I return to places I have only ever been in other dreams. Most recently it is a large grassy square, like a park almost, situated in the middle of a spooky old neighborhood. In the middle of the park thing is a large stone fountain, defunct, or a monument of some sort you can climb atop or hide behind. It is always dusk or night or about to storm, always cast in an eerie glow of deep blues and patina and wispy fog. It's a type of place where ghost children gather to play mean games. Surrounding it on all four sides are avenues lined with Victorian homes and canopies of trees. Even though it is always dark and damp in this grassy square, if I walk down any street a block or further away, there is a late summer sun and golden leaves line the curbs and crunch under my foot. Every time I venture into the neighborhood I get lost. Every time. Eventually someone comes looking for me and takes me back. Every time I tell the mean ghost children in the park (they are like mean hipster ghost children, haughty and cliquish) I don't want to join their games, they become cruel and taunt me. In my dream this is located on the West Side of Chicago. But it is also very similar the the neighborhood in the town I was born in and where some of my family still live.
"Thank you for your inquiry. If you come in for groceries, we will give you groceries. If you come in we will give them to you."
Attachment Disorder
Please check the one that best describes you:
A. I am able to form close meaningful bonds with one or more of the following: Parents, Lovers, Pets, Therapists.
B. I am able to form close meaningful bonds with one or more of the following: Celebrities, fictional characters, people I have only interacted with in online forums, myself.
C. I am able to form close meaningful bonds with No one.
If you answered C., congratulations! You have done the hard work to assimilate and adopt the values of your environment. Take that bonus and treat yourself to an island vacation (psst. the post-colonial, vaguely despotic ones have to-die-for beaches.)
If you answered B., know that these are not unusual feelings to have given the pervasive role media and social networking plays in our society. It is completely acceptable to care about the welfare of people on reality TV. Do not let anyone make you feel ashamed of this.
If you answered A., you may be suffering from an attachment to the person who brought you into the world, the person with whom you routinely exchange bodily fluids, small animals who have evolved to love you in exchange for food, or a person to whom you have told your most intimate thoughts and feelings. This is highly risky behavior and will probably result in an unhealthy self-image. Seek help immediately. But perhaps not from a therapist, you know, given your issues. In fact if you did that, it would be a clear illustration of the "rescue-seeking behavior" your kind are notorious for. Don't get help. Should probably just off yourself. But tell someone if you are thinking about that so they can save you and blame you for being attention-seeking later. Good luck! You can do this!
ATTN!: I am not a licensed professional and you should not be taking advice from me. If you think you have a disorder get professional help if you want but you're probably really ok but please don't take my word for it but also don't stress out about it either.
Thanks for reading! If you would like to make a charitable donation to the author, it is always welcome!

Sometimes, a simple and clean retail site is just want the consumer wants.
Here at Internet Retailer world headquarters, my colleagues and I spend hours learning and writing about the latest mobile sites and apps, video applications, geolocation services and other digital tools turned out by the web and marketing geniuses who are pushing retail forward. It's all rather cool, and some of the stuff we cover even borders on the masterful and artistic.
So I was a bit confused the other day when I checked out the new e-commerce site from women's fashion retail chain Dressbarn. I can't say I have shopped for too many skirts, blouses or pumps, and I am certainly no expert on fashion or web design, but the relatively bare-bones feel of the site was pleasing.
Absent were the sullen models striking poses in unrealistic photo shoots—no jungle vegetation, no old barns, no glossy robotic faces, no wild animals menacing in the background. Nor was I assaulted by videos that wanted to tell me all about how to properly wear a scarf or which crowed about the fair-trade origin of the material in a sweater. And there was no Twitter feed moving across the page to divert my attention; I get enough exposure to data scrolls when I watch pundits shout at each other on cable news.
Instead, I saw just the product categories, a free-shipping offer, a store locator, a live chat button and items worn by women who seem more likely to be sitting across from you in an airport lounge than trying to win some reality show model contest.
That's not to say innovation is bad, that the latest technology and edgy design doesn't have its place in online retail. Of course it does, as many smart retail professionals are proving. And I realize that for many retailers, I am hardly the prime consumer. I don't have a burning urge to own a smartphone, nor do I Facebook. I prefer phone calls and e-mail over texts and I'd rather read a product description on my own than have an eager employee explain it to me on YouTube. I have no desire to dress to impress anyone, either.
But, as the online retail world progresses ever further into personalization, social networking, images-over-text and the technical avant garde—developments brought home every week as my colleagues and I decide which sites are good enough for our upcoming Hot 100 feature in the December issue of Internet Retailer magazine—let me raise my voice for those consumers, whether old fogeys or younger boring married dudes, who are naturally attracted to the simple and to the clean. For those of you with a musical bent, think of it as the difference between punk rock and Pink Floyd. Both can be beautiful and effective, but one is crisp and powerful, and nails you in the gut, while the other floats around you in a swirl of tone and melody.

SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Tex. -- It's not your typical tortilla! And now, a woman is calling it a miracle. She insists her tortilla has an image of the Virgin Mary on it, but it's who she sees on the flip side which makes it extra special.
"I said, 'Oh my God, I can't believe it," said Lupe Rodriguez.
It was Thursday night and Rodriguez was simply making tacos for her family.
"They actually came from this bag right here."
A bag of Mi Casa flour tortillas.
"And I was just grabbing one at a time then I just picked it up and there I saw her," she said. "Right away I saw her vision. Her image."
Right there on the tortilla, was the Virgin Mary, according to Lupe.
"Like something to me got sent to me. She actually wanted me to see her."
Lupe screamed out to her daughter.
Cynthia Rodriguez said, "She was like, 'Oh my gosh, look!"
"Look! Our Lady of Guadalupe is on our tortilla," said Lupe.
"And so I looked and I saw it right away," said Cynthia.
Lupe added, "Like her gown. Her robe. And then here's her face. And the two eyes and her nose and her little crown."
It's an image that already can be found throughout Lupe's house -- paintings, statues, even on the refrigerator, but a tortilla?
"I still have a hard time seeing the face of it. but I see the outline of it. I believe my mom and her faith and I see what she sees," said Cynthia.
But wait -- turns out, there's more.
"Didn't pay attention to the back and then I turned it around, and I thought, 'oh my gosh, I see his face also," said Lupe.
The face of Jesus Christ -- on the other side of the same tortilla.
"So that's like double," said Lupe.
Now she's taking the tortilla wherever she goes.
"We went to visit my son last night and I had 'her' with me in the van. And I showed it to him and he touched it and he carried it," said Lupe.
Christina says, "It's like a little bit of a miracle for this family."
"They all say that I've been blessed. And that there's many more blessings to come," said Lupe. "I feel like she's trying to tell me everything's going to be okay in life for you. And just let everybody know. I am here."

(FOX 11 / CNS) The 125th Rose Parade's Showcase of Floats will give visitors an up-close look at the floats. Early admission for senior citizens and disabled people begins at 7 a.m. Sierra Madre Boulevard between Washington Boulevard and Sierra Madre Villa Avenue, and Washington Boulevard between Sierra Madre Boulevard and Woodlyn Road.
From Hal Eisner:
From the time she was 12-years-old Joyce Marsh has watched the Tournament of Roses Parade and dreamed of seeing it in person. Now, 62 her dream has come true and how perfect when you consider the theme of this year's parade was "Dreams Come True!"
Marsh said she was like "a kid in a candy store" as she and her husband Bill looked over the floats at Victory Park in Pasadena. She saw them in the parade. But, eyeballing them on display at the park was like whipped cream on a sundae. Why? Seeing this parade and the floats was on her "bucket list!"
Others we met at the park were amazed as they looked at the many flowers and vegetables. 10 year old Leena Ladner was awestruck at how intricate and detailed the floats were designed. She called them "art."
Dino Andino had his girls with him. He's seen the post-parade display before. Andino says it just keeps getting better.
You can still see the 2014 Pasadena Tournament of Roses "Showcase of Floats" next to Pasadena High School. The final day is Thursday 1/2/14. Tickets will be on sale till 3pm at $10 a piece. Children under 5 are free. The park will be open from 7am to 9am for seniors and disabled guests. It is open from 9am to 5pm for all guests. It takes a couple of hours to walk around and see all of the floats.
As far as bugs go, caterpillars are usually pretty tame – except for one.

One day, her youngest child, 14-year-old Cheon-ji (Kim Hyang-gi) suddenly commits suicide by hanging without even leaving a note.

What guidelines would you give someone preparing a TEDx talk?
TED Community, I've attended a number of independently organized TEDx events and seen plenty on YouTube and was disappointed to find out that some talks presented weren't TED material. They lacked the 'idea worth spreading' element. What would you suggest to a speaker who's preparing to deliver a TEDx talk in order for them to make sure their talk is up to standards?

A new play, THE LARAMIE PROJECT: TEN YEARS LATER, EPILOGUE will premiere in more than 100 cities on October 12, 2009. The Western Stage at Hartnell College in Salinas is proud to be one of the theater companies engaged in this project. One staged reading will be presented on Monday, October 12, at 7:30 p.m. in Hartnell's Studio Theatre.
Jon Patrick Selover directed a production of "The Laramie Project" last year and is bringing back many of the performers from that production, as well as some new faces for this sequel. These performers will include Fred Herro (who played Mr. Baum in this year's "The American Clock"), Dawn Flood (former TWS staff member and instructor), Cliff Gilkey (also in this year's "The American Clock"), R.J. Adams, long-time TWS veteran Hal Peiken (who has performed at Hartnell since before The Western Stage was formed), Susan Keenan (who has been one of the crazy Brewster aunts in TWS's "Arsenic and Old Lace," a crazy Irish aunt in "The Cripple of Inishmaan" and several non-crazy roles in this year's "The American Clock" and last year's "The Laramie Project"), and Rita Caratello.
This special performance is open to the public. Donations accepted.
The Tectonic Theater Project describes this national event thus:
TECTONIC THEATER PROJECT LAUNCHES ONLINE COMMUNITY www.LARAMIEPROJECT.ORG
New York, NY, Aug. 18, 2009--The creators of the highly acclaimed play The Laramie Project, which since 2000 has been one of the most performed plays in America, will premiere a compelling and groundbreaking epilogue to the original piece. Entitled THE LARAMIE PROJECT: 10 YEARS LATER, the play will be performed in New York at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, and over 100 other theaters in all fifty states, Canada, Great Britain, Spain, Hong Kong and Australia on October 12, 2009. The writers of this play are Tectonic Theater Project members Moisés Kaufman, Leigh Fondakowski, Greg Pierotti, Andy Paris, and Stephen Belber.
The epilogue focuses on the long-term effects of the murder of Matthew Shepard on the town of Laramie. It explores how the town has changed and how the murder continues to reverberate in the community. The play also includes new interviews with Matthew's mother Judy Shepard and Matthew's murderer Aaron McKinney, who's serving two consecutive life sentences. The writers also conducted many follow-up interviews with Laramie residents from the original piece, including, Romaine Patterson, Reggie Fluty, Jedediah Shultz, Father Roger Schmidt, Jonas Slonaker, Beth Loffreda and others.
In tandem with the premiere, an online interactive community will be launched where participants can blog, upload video and photos and share their stories about the play, experiences in preparing and presenting the Epilogue in their communities. The members of Tectonic Theater Project will be active participants in the online community, offering participants feedback and encouragement.
"The Tectonic Theater Project set out to find out how Laramie had changed in the ten years since the murder of Matthew Shepard. When we arrived, we were forced to confront the question, 'How do you measure change in a community?' One of the things we found when we got there, which greatly surprised us, was people in Laramie saying this was not a hate crime," said Moises Kaufman, Artistic Director of Tectonic Theater Project.
"We found the people of Laramie still fighting to own their own history, their own identity, their own story, and part of that is shaped by how they understand what happened that night to Matthew," continued Leigh Fondakowski.
"Creating the epilogue also gave us the opportunity to talk to Aaron McKinney about his crime, what his thinking is about it now, and what his experience has been in prison over the past decade,," said Greg Pierotti, the company member who interviewed Aaron. "We were also able to speak with Matthew's mother, Judy Shepard, whose striking transformation from privately grieving mother to civil rights activist has captured the nation's attention," concluded Andy Paris.
On October 6th of 1998 Matthew Shepard was beaten and left to die tied to a fence in the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. He died 6 days later. His murder became a watershed historical moment in America that highlighted the violence and prejudice lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people face.
A month after the murder, the members of Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie and conducted interviews with the people of the town. From these interviews they wrote the play The Laramie Project, which they later made into a film for HBO. The piece has been seen by more than 50 million people around the country.
Tectonic Theater Project (Moisés Kaufman, Artistic Director, Greg Reiner, Executive Director, Jeffrey LaHoste, Managing Director, Dominick Balletta, General Manager) is an award-winning company whose plays have been performed around the world. Since 1992 TTP has produced innovative works that explore theatrical language and form, fostering an artistic dialogue with our audiences on the social, political and human issues of the day. The company has developed and produced works for theater and film, including: the smash hit Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde; The Laramie Project (one of the most produced plays in the country, as well as an HBO movie written and directed by Kaufman); and I Am My Own Wife (2004 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for best play).
Tectonic has garnered numerous awards including the Humanitas Prize, the Obie, the Lucille Lortel Award, The Outer Critics Circle Award, the GLAAD Media Award, the Artistic Integrity Award from the Human Rights Campaign, and the Making a Difference Award from the Matthew Shepard Foundation. The film of The Laramie Project was also honored with four Emmy Nominations, The National Board of Review Award for Outstanding Made for Television Movie and a Golden Bear Award from the Berlin Film Festival. In addition to creating theatrical works, Tectonic Theater Project works in residence at universities around the country and hosts a New York-based training lab for theater artists. As a non-profit laboratory we are grateful for the long term support of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Greenwall Foundation, The Arcus Foundation, The Small Change Foundation, The Educational Foundation of America, Shawn Donnelley, Judy Dimon, and the donors and friends of Tectonic.

Police nationwide are paying attention to the latest security measure the Marietta school district is taking. The decision by officials to install "panic buttons" in every school is being hailed as innovative.
School officials said they paid about $5,000 to install the direct link buttons to police. One push and dispatch sends all available units.
"This system is designed that as soon as the button is pushed, it goes directly to the 911 center who can immediately dispatch police units to that school," said Officer David Baldwin of the Marietta Police Department.
Police said the buttons are in all 11 public and 3 additional private schools in Marietta.
"You don't use that button for something you would call 911 or even our other two officers for. You're using that button only in the case of an active shooter or intruder, or something that needs a massive and immediate response," said Marietta High School Principal Leigh Colburn.
Colburn says the button makes her staff feel a little safer, but she adds that her school has always been in front of the safety technology curve. It was built just after the massacre at Columbine, so hallways and lockers --even the placement of classrooms -- were considered as it was being built.
There are also about a 100 security cameras in addition to two armed officers at all times.
"So we're connected to the police department already 24/7. I just think this is an added feature," Colburn said.
The school's resource officers have iPads which allow them to monitor any cameras as they walk the hallways.
"We can immediately pull up the cameras and see what's going on with that. So it gives them instant access to information anywhere that they are," said Colburn.
It's part of a larger partnership between schools and police to make city schools safer.
"We can't prevent 100 percent of the crimes from happening. Our goal is to make each one of our schools as hard a target as we can to keep it as safe as possible," Baldwin said.
Marietta police say they have gotten requests from departments nationwide asking for help in installing panic buttons in their schools.

A.Mark Stypczynski, manager
of technical development at Macco Adhesives/ICI
Paints in Strongsville, Ohio, responds: Rhino
Ultra Glue (800/634-0015, www.liquidnails.com) is
freeze/thaw-stable. While it will thicken at low
temperatures, it won't separate or otherwise be
adversely affected, and it'll return to its normal
viscosity upon warming.
Still, adhesives shouldn't be stored in a
freezing environment. Because these products'
viscosities are considerably higher when they're
cold, it's possible that an inadequately warmed-up
adhesive won't completely wet one (or both) of the
bonding surfaces, which could result in a failure
at some point in the life of the assembly.
In addition, cold adhesives — whether
latex, rubber-based, or reactive (such as
polyurethane) — take longer to dry or
cure, increasing the possibility that panels or
parts will shift before the adhesive has hardened;
that too can result in failure.
Finally, while most manufacturers test for
freeze/thaw stability (typically for five cycles),
repeated freezing and thawing can ultimately cause
irreparable damage to some types of adhesives,
especially latexes, making them unfit for use.

Bollocks! No such thing. We have far more advance technology.

This aircraft DOES NOT fly until 2030, earliest.
So NO, no one has seen this, and anyone that says they have is lying.
Google it; All of its specs are on the drawing board, everything they claim it can do is based on future tech.

For Immediate Release
Los Angeles sculptor creates a gingerbread skid row street scene to raise awareness of homelessness at the Craft in America Study Center, Saturday, December 15, 2012 from 12-6pm
(Los Angeles, CA)- Sienna DeGovia, Los Angeles artist and food stylist gives new meaning to the holiday Gingerbread House tradition by creating a Gingerbread Skid Row Street Corner in the window of the Craft in America Study Center (CIASC), on Saturday December 15th from 12-6pm. There is no fee to view the performance, but viewers are encouraged to bring canned food which will be donated to a local homeless shelter.
The performance piece was conceived by DeGovia in conjunction with the Study Center's current three-part exhibition focusing on the intersection of contemporary craft and food, Good Enough to Eat: the Fusion of Food and Craft. These shows explore work by innovative artists who are redefining the role of handcrafted objects (product artifacts) in relationship to our increasingly food-centric culture.
The current exhibition, Food as Impetus for Craft (through January 19, 2013) features elegant and impeccably crafted tools and serving vessels created for food preparation, presentation, and storage. The second portion, Food as Subject for Craft, (February 2 - April 6, 2013) features work by artists who visually depict or conceptually embrace food as their subject. The final portion of the exhibition, Food as Medium for Craft (April 20 June 22, 2013), includes a range of work created from edible materials.
About Sienna DeGovia
Sienna started exploring the deep connection between sustenance and aesthetics and the food/beauty connection while at California College of the Arts, where she earned a BFA in sculpture. At CCA, she created works that used the edible object as a means of evoking an emotional response. She now channels her passion for all things gastronomical into commercial work as a food stylist for editorial and advertising print, film, and commercial spots. She believes that her work as a fine artist and as a commercial food stylist inform and benefit each other. For more information, visit www.siennacake.com
About CRAFT IN AMERICA
Craft in America is a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and advancing original handcrafted work, through educational programs in all media, accessible to all.

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mr. Stubs Great Value! I've used Maxfli for years and find them just as good and more durable then the higher priced balls. August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Ebur104075 Value for money Wanted to try a new ball, picked up a box and played 6 rounds. Not a lot of stopping around the green August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by VT Yankee Excellent ball; great distance and feel I use this ball for play with my regular clubs, and also for hickory shaft play. Unlike most "soft" balls I've played with, it make a nice "click" on putts. I purchased the ball because of very solid on-line reviews, and, since a Dick's store brand (I think), I was surprised that it was pretty hard to find among a gazillion other balls in the store. The guy at the golf desk was most helpful. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by jacko great 3 piece urethane ball The Maxfli U3 is an inexpensive ball that performs like TM Lethal. Very soft and spins nicely around the green. The only negative is that the ball is not as durable as I would like. The cover scuffs easily. A great value though! July 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Strandly Good Ball Nice ball, no cheesy logo like e6s. I'll probably keep buying these as long as they stay in my price range. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kay This was a fathers day gift for my husband He was really pleased with the gift. This is his favorite kind of golf ball and they are hard to find. Thanks for your fast service. I really appreciated it. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by PatB Neck and Neck with the Gamer Tour I just started playing the U/3 and perhaps it is my slower swing speed (85-90), but this ball is flying very long and straight! For my swing, about 20 yards longer on the driver than the Gamer Tour, and I have been flying par 3's that I am familiar with. Even longer than the old V2. Great feel, and good spin around the green, but not as much as the GT. It is also extremely durable and last round I hit it hard into a couple of trees but I never had to replace the ball (except for the one I put in the water). Enough spin for me, but somewhat less than the GT or RBZ U, though the extra distance is a game changer. I just stocked up at $20/dozen and plan to give them a good workout this season. June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Papa Joe Maxfli U/3 The value per cost makes this ball outstanding. Even the low handicappers that deign to play with me were impressed. May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by ekim999 Another good Maxfli ball Slightly different feel off the club than the other Maxfli balls I use. I get good distance with them. May 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Golf1 Nice balls These balls are nice and soft.. You can really feel them when you are playing with them. May 14, 2014

Hello! So glad I got some company here!
Thank you so much for posting that story about the hopfields, Lura. Now, did the story tell you which hops made the best beer? You'd think the rock-n-roll field would hold claim to that, but perhaps not. And that is hilarious that the talk show field hops shriveled up and died. They must have not been playing Shirley MacLaine interviews! :-) I'm going to have to do some research and try to find that story. I'd love to listen to/read/watch it.
And I may have a cousin of Fred's . . . let me tell you the story of this yet unnamed cactus . . . my dear friend Anita died suddenly at the age of 37 a few years ago (fell off a golf cart, of all things!) . . . in addition to me, Anita had two other very close friends, and we were all friends in graduate school. The trio of us each now protect 1/3 of Anita's music, books, and plants--one was this crazy cactus from which each of us took one tiny cutting (one is in Florida, one in TN, and mine in Chicago). I'm attaching a photo here of the current status of this thing. I'm not sure what the heck it thinks it is doing, but it seems to be having some fun. Anyway, each cutting has grown into a completely different looking creature. Mine is in my basement yoga room and is surrounded by Anita's books and music. It gets a healthy dose of regular incense, morning meditation, jazz music, Shirley interviews, and gets to watch me routinely practice yoga. Perhaps all those different stimulations has given this plant the courage to follow its own true bliss--which is a bit nutty. I am inspired each time I breathe and sit with it.
I've got other spiritual plant questions, but will save them for later.

The 'magic formula' whips up 5 more value stocks
Coach, Express added to Greenblatt's value screen.
By Charles Sizemore
There's no magic formula that will provide investors with every last investment pick they'll ever need to make; but what if I told you there's one that can at least get you started?
Last month, I ran a screen of "Magic Formula" stocks from hedge fund guru Joel Greenblatt's screener. I recommend you read the original piece because it explain what the Magic Formula is and how it works. But for the sake of simplicity, I can summarize it: The Magic Formula is a list of highly profitable companies trading at cheap valuations.
The list of value stocks isn't foolproof, of course, and it is subject to information lag. For example, profitability (based on Greenblatt's favorite metric, return on capital) is based on the most recent quarterly filings, and a lot can change from quarter to quarter.
So the Magic Formula screen should be viewed as a great starting point for your investment research and as a great fishing pond for potential value stocks, as long as you don't assume that every stock on the list is a bargain.
With that said, I reran the screen for August with the same parameters as July: top 30 Magic Formula value stocks with a market cap of $1 billion or more.
We have several familiar names that have been on the list off and on for the past several years -- Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco (CSCO) and Lorillard (LO), for example. (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
Dell (DELL) -- which, as I noted last month, is tied up in a fight for control of the company between founder Michael Dell and a group of shareholders led by Carl Icahn -- also made the cut.
On a list of 30 names, 25 were unchanged from July. But we did have five subtractions and five new additions:
|On the list
| Off the list
|Abbott Laboratories
|CF Industries
|PDL BioPharma
|Sturm Ruger & Co.
|Questcor Pharmaceuticals
|Weight Watchers International
Of the five stocks bounced from the list from last month, it's worth noting that all but Abbott Labs (ABT) and Weight Watchers (WTW) still made the cut on the expanded 50-stock list (I encourage you to play with the list here. Adjusting the portfolio size and minimum market cap can produce almost infinite numbers of portfolios.)
It's also worth noting the stock price performance over the past month. Weight Watchers is down by nearly a quarter from its Aug. 2 highs, while Questcor Pharmaceuticals (QCOR) is up almost 40% in the past month, and GameStop (GME) is up about 12%.
The new additions for August will have a few familiar names. Coach (COH) has been off and on the Magic Formula list for years. Coach is a monstrously profitable company with a return on equity of 47%. Yet the success of upstart rival Michael Kors (KORS) has dampened enthusiasm for the stock, which is down by more than 30% from its old 2012 highs.
Fashion retailer Express (EXPR) also made the cut, as did firearm maker Sturm, Ruger & Co. (RGR). With President Obama -- perceived by many to be "anti-gun" -- now in office for nearly five years and with the tragic Sandy Hook school shooting fading from the headlines, the possibility of immediate and comprehensive gun control is receding. Perversely, this is actually bad for handgun makers, which have enjoyed a windfall from panicked gun owners fearing that their window of opportunity to buy a gun was closing. Handgun makers like Sturm Ruger should not expect to see the kinds of revenue gains they've enjoyed for the past several years.
Still, Sturm, Ruger is attractively priced at 11 times earnings and sports a 4.6% dividend yield.
And lastly, online marketing company ValueClick (VCLK) and biotechnology firm PDL BioPharma (PDLI) made the cut in August as well.

HandsOn Disasters
When disaster strikes, HandsOn Network Affiliate Action Centers serve the critical role of organizing and leading volunteer response efforts in communities around the world.
Action Center Updates
Message About Recent Severe Weather
On August 24, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck near the city of Napa, Calif. Approximately 200 were injured and thousands were left without power. This was the largest earthquake to hit the San Francisco Bay Area in the past 25 years.
Points of Light is coordinating with HandsOn Network affiliates in the affected areas and connecting with Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) chapters across the U.S to access the situation and offer support. HandsOn Network is the local expert in volunteer engagement and often the lead in managing spontaneous unaffiliated volunteers throughout the response and recovery effort.
If you would like to support the recovery effort, here's what you can do to help:
- Don't self-deploy at this time. The situation is still critical and travel is extremely difficult or impossible throughout much of the affected area.
- Don't bring supplies or donations to fire stations, police departments, etc. First responders need to focus on immediate needs and emergency situations.
- Do donate to help Points of Light and HON affiliates support the mobilization of volunteers in ongoing response and recovery efforts.
- Do register your interest to volunteer on All for Good and check this page often for the latest updates on how you can help.
- Do be prepared! As the devastation caused by these tornados reminds us, disasters can happen anytime, anywhere. Please take steps now to help your family and community recover more quickly from disasters. Visit www.goodandready.org to download an emergency preparedness checklist and create a disaster readiness plan for your family.
HandsOn Network Affiliate Action Centers are critical resources in communities when disaster strikes. In partnership with local government and other entities, they coordinate local response efforts and serve as a central access point for volunteers.
HandsOn Network's work focuses on the fact that "all disasters are local." Our strength comes from the efforts of our Action Centers in three distinct areas:
- Spontaneous unaffiliated volunteer management (SUVs) and in managing Volunteer Reception Centers (VRCs) in times of disaster
- Defining nonprofit needs in times of disaster and matching volunteers to those needs
- Large-scale project execution as part of long-term recovery
Tools/ResourcesTogether with our partners, HandsOn Network has developed a robust library of resources to guide local response efforts.

THE STREETS around North Station used to be a good spot to catch a game, a fight, and some cheap drinks, but not much else. Two massive spans of green steel — the Central Artery and the Green Line viaduct — soared over the neighborhood, walling it off from the rest of Boston and driving development away. Streets were either dark and abandoned, or they were raucous and overrun; little ground stood between those two poles. Now, however, those same streets comprise one of Boston's hottest development markets. The Beal Companies and the Related Companies are building a new headquarters for Converse, along with 100 housing units, on one side of North Station; AvalonBay is constructing 503 apartments on the other side. Just across Causeway Street, apartments and hotel rooms are rising on parcels that have stood vacant for years.
All told, more than 1,100 housing units are either under construction or soon breaking ground around North Station, and that figure doesn't factor massive redevelopments currently being proposed for the Garden Garage and the lot where the Boston Garden used to stand. The surge in investment has been a long time coming, but the shift from part-time watering hole to genuine neighborhood has been incredibly abrupt.

What is the future of the global economy?
With the rise of new economic powers such as China, India and Brazil (and virtually every other country in one small way or another), is the global economy headed, even faintly, in the direction of equality for all nations?
As growing internet access spreads information, enlightenment, global exchange and commerce across the planet, the gross effect appears to be a leveling of standards, innovation potential and competitiveness. People increasingly have access to the same learning resources, technology and information. So people in one part of the world are setting up businesses to rival others across oceans and deserts, effectively leading to a more balanced world in which New York is not so different from Mumbai, for example. Is this the true direction of the global economy, even for third world nations, or is there some other trend that's harder to see?

Jul 11 2013: Goodness, I am not an economist. However, the question what is the future of the global economy? reminded me of the article in Money ... Is the next big bubble Bonds? This along with QE in many countries ... the failure of the Euro and most of the EU countries .... banking failures and the supporting stimulus infusions ... etc.
For the quantitative easing policy, the Federal Reserve holdings of U.S. Treasuries increased from $750 billion in 2007 to over $1.7 trillion as of end-March 2013.
China holds $1.17 trillion in U.S. Treasuries. The Japanese own about $1.1 trillion of Treasuries.
Robert Auerbach, Professor of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin, submits the following: "As of March 20, 2013 the Ben Bernanke Federal Reserve has added $2.101 trillion dollars to the base of the U.S. money supply since September 2008 when the financial crisis erupted. That is a 240 percent increase. The Bernanke Fed, that has sole control over the nation's monetary base (currency, coin and private bank reserves), is continuing its money explosion by adding $85 billion a month."
The impact that the G-20 has on global economy and the "shaky" future of the US and EU economy may send economic shock throughout the globe. These types of failures in the past have eliminated the elite and middle classes by the government taking all the money available to support the growing government .... to no avail. As a prime example was the fall of 1916 Argentina a rising world power that fell to the bottom.
Another prime factor to consider is the economic model being used. I would suggest a review of the two primary models: Keynesian and Austrian.
I would like to be able to say the future looks good but I do not believe that. Further I think with failures in the G-20 would have bad effects on all other countries. When recovery occurs perhaps new leadership will emerge.
This is what I have read. Further research by yourself will be required. Bob.
Jul 13 2013: At some point, prices will have to fall to empty inventories so we can start over. The last time we did this, we did it with WWII. Until we fix prices based on a global index like food and basic comfort, inflation will always increase to foil the game allowing poverty to exist and cause harm.
I think the next bubble willh be with rental property. Wall street shuffled 12 billion dollars into property investment down in Georgia and Florida. They bought up everything of any value, painted it up and put a rental sign on it. I've been looking for a home for two years now without success. The only other opportunity for small home owners is to build their own and many are starting to move in this direction. That is why the rental bubble will burst. I does not take into consideration that people get upset and with current communications, can see how the game is moving. They then take a different path to home ownership.
Even though wall street is trying to make a profit for their investors, they are following the same paths they did after 2000. Of course this will lead to the same result. It's not business.... it's gambling.

Breslin, Herbert H.
Adult Nonfiction ML420.P35 B74 2004
Summary: Luciano Pavarotti's longtime manager and friend tells all.All. The King and Iis the story of the thirty-six-year-old business relationship between Luciano Pavarotti and his manager, Herbert Breslin, during which Breslin guided what he calls, justifiably, "the greatest career in classical music." During that career, Breslin moved Pavarotti out of the opera house and onto the concert (and the world) stage and into the arms of a huge mass public. How he and Pavarotti changed the landscape of opera is one of the most significant and entertaining stories in the history of classical music, and Herbert Breslin relates the tale in a brash, candid, witty fashion that is often bitingly frank and profane. He also provides a portrait of his friend and client--"a beautiful, simple, lovely guy who turned into a very determined, aggressive, and somewhat unhappy superstar"--that is by turns affectionate and satirical and full of hilarious details and tales out of school, with Pavarotti emerging as something like the ultimate Italian male. The book is also enlivened by the voices of other players in the soap opera drama that was Pavarotti's career, and they are no less uncensored than Herbert Breslin. The last word, in fact, comes from none other than Luciano Pavarotti himself! The King and Iis the ultimate backstage book about the greatest opera star of the past century--and it's a delight to read as well.

"I received my coils and was able to put them in. Only to find that one of the coils that was sent was not good. I have to admit that the service was great. I sent the information, and a replacement was sent to me. I will be doing more buying at this site. "

"Great product for the price. Simple installation, and performance is exceptional."
Posted by Collin M.
"This part is the right part for the 2003 MINI cooper I installed in. However, from first glance when installing using original hardware to install it, you immediately find that the mounting bolts from the OEM part do not fit. After a bit of a search I was able to find the right bolts and get it on. "
Posted by Juan O.
"I'm very impressed with the service, quality and price received. Months ago my car had a problem and a mechanic told me he changed the ignition coil, you don't want to know a much, he charged me for the part. A few week ago has same problem and I found my part in CARiD. This price is around 70% less that my mechanic charged me for the piece (also he installed used part). I found all I expected in CARiD."
