As the crime rate in Sri Lanka soars to dangerous levels with politicians being either directly involved or giving patronage and protection to criminal gangs as we saw in the recent horror stories in Deraniyagala, using data from the Geneva Declaration's latest report, the London-based Action on Armed Violence has identified Sri Lanka as the ninth most dangerous country in the world. The report says half a million people all over the world die violent deaths every year, but only one in 10 are killed in conflict zones. El Salvador is the most dangerous country in the world, followed by Iraq. Sri Lanka is listed as the ninth most dangerous country. These figures were based on statistics from 2004 to 2009 when the government was embroiled in a bloody war with the ruthless LTTE terrorists. After May 2009, Sri Lanka was no longer a conflict zone but going by reports in the media and unreported crimes we wonder where Sri Lanka would be in the next report.
According to evidence, the killing of the 71-year-old Nooriya tea estate Superintendent in Deraniyagala is one of the most horrific in the wave of political killings – a "killing fields" culture that appears to have engulfed Sri Lankan society under the Rajapaksa regime. Police and eyewitnesses say the retired superintendent Nihal Perera was brutally chopped up in broad daylight because he had taken action against widespread corruption and crime by gangs known to be connected to a highly-placed politician in the area. The superintendent had been assaulted by this local politico some two months ago but despite complaints the police had taken little or no action.
The Planters' Association has said if justice was done at that time this gruesome tragedy could have been avoided. According to media reports the Deraniyagala Pradeshiya Sabha's former Chairman Anil Champika Wijesinghe was one of the nine suspects remanded for the murder. The others who were supporters of this politician were alleged to have been involved in the crimes of demanding ransom, felling trees illegally and demanding free supplies of tea from the estate. The slain superintendent had come out courageously against this criminal politician and paid with his life. When the Special Task Force was sent to Deraniyagala to bring the mayhem under control the police officer-in-charge of the area was immediately transferred showing police complicity or a cover-up of the political crime and thuggery which have brought international disgrace to Sri Lanka.
The Deraniyagala devilry has provoked other international repercussions also. Walters Bay International, the Texas-based American company managing the tea estate, has informed the government of its decision to withdraw from its operations because of this killing.
" The Government instead of correcting or punishing the political murderers, rapists and thugs, appears to be on a high-scale campaign to defend them and politically colour-wash the crimes "
The Government instead of correcting or punishing the political murderers, rapists and thugs, appears to be on a high-scale campaign to defend them and politically colour-wash the crimes. The Chief Government Whip and Minister Dinesh Gunawardena told Parliament last week he believed that the Russian girlfriend of Khuram Shaikh, the British Red Cross worker, was not gang raped by the suspect UPFA politicians and his aides after they allegedly killed the British Red Cross worker at a resort in Tangalle on Christmas Eve 2011. While the court is awaiting a vital DNA test, legal experts are asking how a senior government politician could virtually carry out a trial of his own.
Whether the Rajapaksa regime is politicising the killings or killers are being groomed for politics is not clear. Last Thursday India's Supreme Court made a landmark order by dragging criminals out of politics. The Rajapaksa regime must take immediate action if it does not want to get a worse ranking in the list of the most dangerous countries in the world.

Kingsmead is a cricket ground in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It operates under the sponsorship-based name of Sahara Stadium Kingsmead where Sahara is the trademark of a sponsor from the IT industry. Its stated capacity is 25,000, although grass terracing makes up part of the viewing area. The 'end names' are the Umgeni End (north) and the Old Fort Road End (south). It is the home ground of the KwaZulu-Natal Dolphins.When a Test series is played in South Africa, the ground usually hosts the Boxing Day Test.
Cricket :
The venue hosted the first home Test for the South African cricket team after re-admission into international cricket and also hosted the Test against the English cricket team in 1939, which lasted from the third to the thirteenth of March and was called off over fears that the English would miss their ship home.The first Test match to be played here was between South Africa and England on January 18, 1923, which resulted in a draw.
Others :
It is the stadium used every other year for the finish of the Comrades Marathon, an ultramarathon run annually between Durban and Pietermaritzburg. Because the run alternates directions each year, it only finishes in Durban in odd-numbered years.

As the most expensive movie ever made with African American actors depicting a celebrated black American hero who felt close to his African heritage, the movie producers of Ali turned up in Machava in Mozambique for authentic audience scenes.
"There was a fight scene where a large number of extras was needed. It was clearly said to people to come down and see a Hollywood movie being made," Blaise Nato, spokesman for Columbia Pictures, states.
"There was a raffle of motor scooters, refrigerators, athletic shoes and clothing. Arrangements were also made for food and drink."
"Not so"' insists Madelena Muntimuca, an undernourished, 46-year-old single woman who survives by selling charcoal briquettes on Maputo's potholed streets. "We worked, clapping, cheering and dancing on instruction only to find out there was no food and no prizes or pay. We only got a bottle of water and the children some juice the whole day."
In the United States, members of the Screen Actors Guild receive $100 a day and nonunion members $50 per day to work as extras, a not inconsiderable sum in a movie's budget when huge crowd scenes are involved. If their own clothing or cats are used, or if required to work more than 8 hours, the extras are compensated additionally, some regulars earning $30,000 to $50,000 per year.
The Columbia Pictures movie Ali is directed by Michael Mann, one of Hollywood's top 10 directors. Starring famous actor Will Smith, it is the first big budget movie ever filmed in Mozambique and snags were expected, but were the local African extras also hoodwinked?
"They exploited people," said Angela Jane, 23 and pregnant, who agreed to be an extra for a scene shot in the rain. "At the end of 12 hours, they paid me $20 rather than the $60 promised, and so I left" While she understood that Mozambique was not America, she points our "people should at least be respected as human beings".
"No one was promised $60. The payment for scenes was negotiated up front and there was no reneging on that," Blaise Nato, spokesman for Columbia Pictures insisted. Adding that he believed extras made $10 or $20 a day, he stated that all company obligations were carried out.
Pat Kingsley, a publicist for director Mann, also responded that it was ridiculous for extras in Africa to think that they'd be paid as much $60 when, "they don't make that in a year".
A spokeswoman for actor Will Smith said that she thought it was a disturbing situation but that the actor had nothing to do with the hiring of extras. "He knew nothing about the confusion," she insisted.
Asked why a raffle was involved, in which only a few individuals got prizes rather then the standard cash compensation, the Columbia Picture's spokesperson insisted that this is normal practice when long distance crowd scenes are shot, even in the United States. People come for the fun of being in a movie, they stare, justifying the rationale for non payment.
"Do African people understand what a raffle is? That someone gets something, someone else doesn't?" spokesman Nato insisted on asking.
A dirty trick?
So why the choice of Mozambique, a nation still emerging from a debilitating civil war? One with little government oversight and no experience in modern movie-making?
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a production spokesman confirmed that the producers knew that African extras would be paid little or nothing. Local organisers insisted that spreading money around in a poverty-stricken Maputo would lead to rioting. They claim this fact is justification for the selected raffle system of compensation.
"At one time it was even considered giving Will Smith T-shirts as payment," the spokesman confirmed. But even this was rejected as being too provocative and director Mann took the local organiser's word for it." Actor Will Smith, he added "was kept in the dark in this regard".
The thousands of extras detained in the stadium at Machava were finally released at 4-am, after organisers told them that they would be paid after all the filming had been completed.
"We were hungry, tired and it was a dirty trick to play on people who struggle just to survive," film extra Madelena Muntimucu said. Insisting that she had been promised money and not a raffle or prizes as compensation for her time, she complained that even the transport home that had been promised had not been forthcoming.
Ali is just one of a number of TV documentaries and full length movie projects being filmed in Africa. In Tanzania, the Canadian produced Walk with Lions starring Richard Harris as famous lion rehabilitator George Adamson has completed shooting. Murdered in Kenya's Kora National Park by machine gun-toting bandits, George Adamson's celluloid recorded life-story should prove successful with western audiences. Following such box office hits as Out of Afrifa and the Diane Fossey life story Gorillas in the Mist, such movies with their panoramic vistas and heartwarming animal-human relationships bring considerable publicity but little financial reward to the countries in which they are filmed. As in the endless wildlife documentaries being filmed for TV audiences in the US and Europe, most of the financial rewards remain in London or Los Angeles.
Survivor series to shoot in Kenya
The latest project to chose an African location is the highly popular and financially successful CBS Survivor TV series. Culminating in the winner receiving a $lm cash prize for being the final survivor, the show was the first of a wave of 'reality' TV shows using real life contestants rather than actors. A press release last June confirmed that Kenya's Shaba National Park Reserve had been selected as the hotly contested location for its third Survivor series. 140 miles north of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, the whole reserve has been dosed-off to all but production personnel
"Previously used in the highly acclaimed film Born Free, this location is ideal for the river and scrubland background, adding just the exotic touch the producers were looking for," a spokesman stated.
When pressed, CBS spokesman Chris Ender also confirmed that some local Kenyans had been asked to sign confidentiality agreements before being used to test challenges being devised.
Kenyan environmentalists have expressed concern at the effect that weeks of film shooting will have on the flora and fauna in the area. Local members of the Waso Trust Land Project and several Kenyan journalists who entered the off-limits area to check on environmental damage reports were detained by security staff. Finally released, they met with the production team to discuss their concerns.
So why are such heavy handed procedures necessary to prevent local journalists inspecting what is normally a public game reserve?
Responding, CBS spokesman Chris Ender insists that privacy had to be maintained and that series executive producer, Murk Burnett, had always respected the environment in which the Survivor shows ate filmed. "He has learned through trial and error how to return the land to the same condition, and in some cases better condition, then it was when he started," Mr. Ender stated.
Many Kenyans will find it hard to understand what all the fuss is about. The Survivor series will never he shown on local Kenyan TV far to expensive for the local stations to afford. Other then possibly bringing increased trade to a nearby hotel, little financial reward will result unless local Kenyans negotiate wages commensurate with Screen Actor Guild pay scales.
The question of how Africa can reap the financial rewards associated with Western movie making is relatively easy to solve, Screen Actors Guild officials in Los Angeles claim. Form a unionised association of actors, model agencies and safari equipment suppliers with whom the movie producers have to negotiate and local people will have some bargaining power they insist.
The abiding sense of resentment in Mozambique against the producers of A/i is ironic considering how Muhammad Ali endeared himself to Africa with his exuberant affection for the continent's peoples during his 1974 fight against George Foreman. It is also tragic.
"The poor and Africans are responsible for my victory over the bigger, younger and stronger Foreman," he stated in his stirring victory speech in Kinshasa after the fight.
How tragic it is that film extra Feliciano Manjate, 51, now feels that the producers of Ali "exploited us because we are Africans" and that "if the task was performed by white men they would have been given money".

The NHT Family of Signs and How to Use Them
As you begin, it is important to review the national historic trail family of signs and to understand the various sign types and how they are used. Once you have reviewed the sign types, you will be ready to create a sign plan. The sign plan types and their uses are outlined in detail below. Custom signs are covered at the bottom of the page.
Please note that use of these signs requires explicit approval by the NPS, because the signs include the federally protected Pony Express National Historic Trail logo.
The recommended national historic trail standard road sign size is 32 inches by 48 inches. The Historic Site Name sign is generally 36 inches by 48 inches to accommodate the variety of potential site names.
Some signs have a secondary lower sign panel or arrows (please refer to road signs in table above):
These signs are sized for low speed roads to accommodate a 4-inch minimum letter height in compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which is the primary guidance that governs all public roads in the United States. Conditions could exist in which local road jurisdiction may require a smaller or larger size sign. A larger sign will most likely be required for higher speed roads. Ultimately, the agency having jurisdiction over the road or highway has the responsibility for providing direction on the size of the signs required. They may also dictate the quality of reflective sheeting required for the signs, i.e. engineering or high intensity grade.
Site entrance signs are typically custom designed. Some sites have an existing site sign that can have a national historic trail panel added below it; some have site logos or themes that can be applied to the new trail sign. Please e-mail us to discuss options and funding for NHT-branded entrance signs at your national historic trail site.

When You Use Your Lips, They Better Be On Me0 Reviews
Pete reveals the truth of how he truly feels about Patrick.
Patrick popped his Whisper War CD into his radio and undressed. He stepped into the shower and turned the water on. As the room filled with steam, he sang along to Bounce and poured conditioner into his palm. Just then, the door opened and some steam seeped out. Patrick's forehead crinkled with confusion and nervousness.
"Hey, Trick?" Pete called as he entered the bathroom.
"You scared me for a second there, Pete!" Patrick admitted.
"Sorry, but can we talk?" Pete asked.
"While I'm in the shower? Can't this wait?" Patrick asked scrubbing his scalp with the conditioner.
"Not really." Pete said sitting down in the middle of the floor.
"Okay fine. Shoot." Patrick replied.
"Well....Patrick, you know how we've been best friends like forever? Well, I never told you this, because I've been afraid, but now that I'm a vampire, I realized that there is nothing in this world to truly fear. So, here goes, don't kill me or anything: Patrick, I love you. I love you so much, I'd tear my heart and soul out for you. And I have loved you since the day I met you." Pete said.
Patrick shut the water off.
"Really Pete?" he asked quietly now.
"Really Trick. I love you more than anything in this entire world. I'd die for you." Pete replied.
Tears trickled down Patrick's already wet face as he stood in the shower. Patrick's heart warmed up his entire body as it beat faster by the second.
He loved Pete back.
Pete handed Patrick a towel. Patrick wrapped it around himself and stepped out of the shower. He gave Pete a grateful, loving, meaningful glance and went into his bedroom to get dried and dressed. Patrick thought about Pete and everything he had said as he dressed. It really touched him and Patrick felt the same exact way about Pete. All of these years, spent, knowing Pete had never loved him, when he really did....it was amazing....
When Patrick opened his bedroom door, the door clunked something hard. Patrick peeked around the door and saw Pete.
He was kneeling in front of the door rubbing his forehead.
"Ouch!" Pete complained.
"Were you watching me dress?" Patrick asked raising his eyebrows sounding quite amused.
"Yes. I thought maybe until I can see you UN-dress, I'll just watch you get dressed. By the way, its funny how you put your shirt on before your underwear, hehe...." Pete admitted looking up at Patrick. Patrick laughed and shook it off as he took Pete's hand to help him up. Patrick opened his mouth to say something else, but he noticed how Pete's glance fell to Patrick's lips. He leaned in and kissed Pete on the lips. Pete nestled his hand behind Patrick's head and their tongues danced in each others mouths. Patrick's tongue played against Pete's long fangs which had just retracted.
Just then, Joe walked into the hall with Andy right behind him.
"Oops! Sorry, we're interrupting something!" Joe exclaimed and pushed Andy back down the hall as Pete backed Patrick into the wall and kissed him harder. Pete had already been hard, and Patrick moaned as Pete ground into Patrick's own erection. Pete's hand fell to Patrick's butt as he pushed him backwards onto the bed.

Dresden's Official Death Report, March, 1945
David Irving's "Radical's Diary," April 23, 2009 (Thursday) at Windsor (England) http://www.fpp.co.uk/docs/Irving/RadDi/2009/240409.html, at image: Dresden Death Report--1945_03_24decode_600.jpg
At 5:55 p.m. on March 24, 1945... the Dresden Polizeipräsident [chief of police] reported in code to SS Oberführer Dr. Dietrichs:
"'Re: Missing Persons Situation in Dresden Air Raid Defence region.
'The Lord Mayor of Dresden City has established (a) a Central Bureau for Missing Persons and nine Missing Persons registries; (b) eighty- to one-hundred thousand missing-person notifications are estimated to have been registered so far; (c) 9,720 missing-person notifications have been confirmed as fatalities; (d) to date, information on twenty thousand missing person cases has been given out; (e) accurate statistical data possibly only later.'"
Irving writes in his "Radical's Diary" of April 24, 2009 (Friday), at Windsor (England):
"... Even the 'hundred thousand' figure for those reported missing must be an under-estimate. There were over half a million homeless refugees in the streets of Dresden, fleeing the Red Army siege of Breslau to the East. Whole refugee families must have been engulfed by the Dresden holocaust, with nobody surviving to report them as 'missing'.
"Another thing seems brutally clear: those listed as 'missing' -- in addition to those bodies formally identified and buried or incinerated by this [March '45] date -- were never going to return. To use the words of the telegram I found yesterday (see above) they were dead, 'carbonised,' and unidentifiable [assuming anything of them were to be found].
"What do these decoded messages tell us about our own [modern-day] lazy and conformist historians...? [T]hey would never have found them. It has taken me these many years. Go the extra mile. Eventually, as this morning's Welshman said, 'Keep up the good work,' he encourages me: 'You will be proved right in the end'".
[And he was, but little good it has done so far, with The Adversary controlling the dissemination of the Truth.]
(Mr. Irving offers his book, Apocolypse 1945: The Destruction of Dresden available in PDF format at no charge, at: http://www.fpp.co.uk/books/index.html, although he would rather you bought it; or donated somewhat to the Cause).

Alice Eve On The Big Thing She Learned From Her 'Sex And The City 2' Co-Stars
British beauty Alice Eve is one of the many new faces joining the "Sex and The City 2" fold, when the sequel hits theaters on May 28.
As Charlotte York's (Kristin Davis) gorgeous foreign nanny Erin in the series, Alice will reportedly be part of a story line that spices things up for the Fab Four.
While she couldn't say much about the script, Alice did reveal that watching life on set for her castmates was an experience.
"It was mayhem for them," Alice said, referring to Kristin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon. "Everywhere they went, everybody knew."
Her own scenes, however, were much more low key.
"My stuff was — I didn't have that," she laughed. "I just kind of turned up and smiled and was glad to be in the room."
While Alice didn't get the full "SATC2" mania, she did actually pick up some tips from her co-stars.
"They were all there bouncing around in their heels all day, which was insane," Alice said. "I now wear heels, which I didn't do before, because I saw how they actually do it, for real. You know they wear them all day, so that was incredible."
Before she takes the big screen with Carrie Bradshaw and the gang, Alice will appear in theaters on March 12 in the romantic comedy "She's Out Of My League."

Ryan LaFollette.
The cocktail reception for the Driehaus Prize, celebrating classical architecture and traditional urbanism, was held in the hoity-toity vaulted Cathedral Hall at the top of the University Club, a setting fit for a classicist or anyone wishing to recreate scenes from Dead Poets Society. The Trib's Blair Kamin was there for a minute, along with oodles of Notre Dame students and recent grads sporting ill-fitting suits, engagement rings large and small, and strings of pearls. Definitely not a Jil Sander crowd. This year's recipient, Rafael Manzano Martos, took the stage to give some remarks but most guests seemed to be oohing and ahhing over the fantastic views of Renzo Piano's Modern Wing. Piano is the modernist even classicists love, secretly!

Burnham Depot Reno?
Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
Designed by the great Chicago architect and planner Daniel Burnham, this handsome if forlorn rail station may get a new life. Located in Richmond, Indiana, which is about halfway between Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio, the old Pennsylvania Railroad Depot has been empty for over 30 years. According to the Richmond Palladium-Item, via archinect, owner Roger Richert recently bought the building for $75,000, but it is expected to take $1 million to stabilize. Richert is working with the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana to identify tax credits and other funding options in hopes of turning the building into a conference center, restaurant, a music venue, or retail space. Though the much of the interior is gone, Richert said the shell is strong, a testimony to Burnham's robust design.
And Then There Were Five
Friday, April 9, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
The competition to improve the grounds and urban connectivity at the St. Louis Arch site has attracted attention from some major talents in architecture, landscape, and engineering. The list of competitors has been trimmed to five: the Michael Van Valkenburgh-led team, the Weiss/Manfredi team, SOM Chicago/Hargreaves/BIG, the Behnisch-led team, and PWP/Foster + Partners/Civitas. The winner will be announced in late September.
CHA Wrecking Ball Returns
Thursday, April 8, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
The last five families were moved out of the Harold Ickes Homes at the end of March, one of the latest clusters of high rise public housing the city is clearing as a part of the Chicago Housing Authority's "Plan for Transformation." Dozens of highrise towers have been demolished across the across the city, opening vast tracts of land for mixed-income and in some cases mixed-used development. While few would dispute that the large-scale warehousing of the poor in these projects helped to create major urban problems, the nearly total erasure of these areas seems as blunt as the urban renewal tactics through which they were originally built.

Detroit Harkens
Monday, April 5, 2010
Matt Chaban.
Last week, we reported on a new, rather unprecedented plan by new-ish Detroit Mayor Dave Bing to condense the city to fit its current population, which is half what it was six decades ago. Among the people we interviewed was local AIA President Raymond Cekauskas, a huge Detroit booster who sent along the picture above, a reminder of the city's "grand past," as Cekauskas put it. But it is also a fitting image of what the city could very well become under Bing's plan, still in its chrysalis—a little smaller, tightly knit, transit-oriented (yes, transit is coming to the Motor City), in a word, homey, which we mean in a good way. Just look at all the gorgeous homes wanting for salvation. Meanwhile, a Tufts professor looks to Flint and Youngstown for similar shrinking models, though by no means on the same scale. Welcome to the Brave New Midwest.
Preservation Gang
Friday, April 2, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
On the heels of their much praised Aqua tower, Studio Gang is talking on a very different kind of project, the renovation and conversion of the historic Shoreland Hotel in Hyde Park into rental apartments, and retail and event spaces, the Chicago Tribune reports. The building, which was most recently used as student housing by the University of Chicago, is in rough shape. Some of the once opulent interiors are in tact, but other spaces have been gutted or badly damaged, which could offer interesting opportunities to juxtapose contemporary insertions with historic elements. The project adds adaptive reuse and historic preservation to the firm's already diverse portfolio. Read More
Leading the Charge
Friday, March 19, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
In an effort to contain costs and regain some control of the Motor City's destiny, this month Detroit Mayor Dave Bing will announce the details of a plan to clear largely abandoned sections of the city and reinvigorate more stable neighborhoods. Signaling the importance of this controlled shrinkage plan, Time is reporting that Detroit has hired Newark's urban planning director Toni Griffin to lead the effort. Griffin is one of the best known planners in the country, and she's been working to reestablish planning principles and guide renewal in New Jersey's largest city. A graduate of the Harvard GSD, prior to her time in Newark, she worked for SOM Chicago and for Washington D.C.'s planning department. In Detroit, Griffin's salary, as well as those of some of her staff, will be underwritten by the Kresge Foundation. Her job will no doubt be a difficult one. Residents have previously fought neighbhorhood clearance and scuttled earlier shrinkage plans.
Less is More on Lakeshore
Monday, March 15, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
Photographers and videographers William Zbaren and Robert Sharoff interviewed architect Ron Krueck about his firm's restoration of Mies van der Rohe's towers at 860-880 Lake Shore Drive, better known as the Lake Shore Drive apartments. Krueck, a principal at Krueck + Sexton Architects, calls the towers "revolutionary" for their time for their delicacy and lightness. The video is accompanied by beautiful photographs of the exteriors and grounds.
Highway to Isolation
Thursday, March 4, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
Multidisciplinary teams are working to rethink the grounds surrounding the Eero Saarinen-designed Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, better known as the St. Louis Arch, to improve its connectivity with the city and the riverfront. An editorial in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is calling on the teams to substantially rework I-70, which creates a barrier along the park's western edge. Read More
Disappearing Detroit
Thursday, February 25, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
The plight of Detroit is a subject of endless fascination for architects and planners and has been irresistible to photographers. Still, the scale of the city's problems retains the ability to shock. According to the Detroit Free Press, the city is moving to bulldoze between 2500 to 3000 abandoned homes this year—a fraction of the more than 10,000 homes considered dangerous and slated for demolition. Given the fact that it costs approximately $10,000 to demolish a house, the 2500 figure is all the finacially strapped city can afford to take down. Read More

Hello All,
It has been a very trying time with the wonderful world of the internet and issues with running a website. In the coming weeks we will be updating and creating a new website. We look forward to providing you even more information about Mixed Impressions DJs! But don't hesitate to check out what we have here. There is still plenty of information and fun times here on midjs.com for you to look through.
Finally, thank you again for your interest in Mixed Impressions DJs!
On the last Friday in April, the 27th, we were back here in our own hometwon at Landisville MIddle School. A contract we picked up again a few years ago, we have had the pleasure of working with the two Hempfield School District Middle schools. We have been working with Centerville for over a decade and now added Landisville back to it as well.
What a great group of students at Landisville. These kids under the spotlight come out to the gym, run around, dance, and have a blast! Thank you Landisville and we look forward to the next year!
On April 20th, 2012 we went back to Manor Middle School for their spring dance. We had a blast! The students of Manor Middle always come through with lots of fun dancing! They enjoy dancing and being involved in the Mixed Impressions Dance Circle. It's an opportunity for students to showcase their dance moves. They take turns under the lead of DJ Matt Haines or DJ Mark Haines to come in and dance like you've never danced before!
Again, Manor always a great crew. Thank you for having Mixed Impressions Manor, and we'll see you for the 8th grade dance in about a month!
On April 14, 2012, Mixed Impressions DJs has the annual honor of entertaining the senior cititzens in the Denver area for a social event. They come out and play games, eat snacks and soclialize with the students and other senior citizens. But the picture below shows it all.
The students get everyone involved in the various games they offer, and invite them to the dance floor. As you see below they get into a little bit of "The Stroll." Always fun times!
It is such a great event to get the senior cititzens out and involved in the community. DJ Matt Haines has been this even forseveral years now. Thank you to Cocalico for this event and allowing Mixed Impressions DJs to entertain! Check out some more fun in the pictures below.
We start off the month of April with the Ephrata Recreation Center. The one – two dances on this Friday, April 6th. If you attend Ephrata or Cocalico Middle School come onover to these fun dances. There is one from 5:30 to 7:00 for 5th and 6th graders, then 7:30 to 9:30pm for 7th and 8th graders.
These events are chaparoned by several staff at the Recreation Center and everyone, simply put, has a great time. All of today's hot hits are played beat to beat and with fun line dances in between. Every month through the school year starting in November we get together for these fun events. CHeck them out next year!
On March 16th, 23rd, and 30th we had back to back to back Friday night junior high dances. The Ephrata Recreation Center, Warwick Middle School and Hershey Middle School. What fun times with these schools. We have dance contests, we have line dances and all of the hot hits of today. DJ Matt Haines came come out and entertain or DJ Mark Haines. All we can say is fun to be had by all.
We travel all over for these dances. Mixed Impressions DJs for Dauphin County, York County, and our hometown, Lancaster County. As is the case with all three of these schools we have been entertaining for several years at these schools with contracts for the all dances for a year at a time. Thanks to all three of these schools.
EPHRATA / COCALICO / GARDEN SPOT — What a great way to pull off a wonderful event, but to bring together three area high schools together to raise money for the 4 Diamonds Fund. It's the…
On Saturday, March 10, 2012, students from these schools got together and danced, play games, had fun with entertaining challenges, and over all had fun doing it! All for the benefit of a great cause, the 4 Diamonds Fund. The students came together as one as you see below as they watch one of the many events going on throughout the night.
Thanks to all three schools for the opportunity to entertain and help out at this wonderful yearly event. We'll see you next year! CHeck out some awesome pictures of the fun times below.
On Friday, March 9, 2012 the two middle schools of Hempfield School District get together to raise money for their 4 Diamonds Mini THON. What a great way to raise money to support a great cause. MIDJs along with several hundred students got together and rocked the gym at the high school.
These students raised several thousands of dollars for the benefit held by the high school later this month. Mixed Impressions truly is honored to be involved with these schools who have the Mini THONs for the 4 Diamonds funds. Thank you to Centerville and Landisville!
On the last Saturday of February, the 25th Hershey had a winter dance with proceeds going to the upcoming Mini THON in March. They had a great turnout and raised lots of money for a great cause! Way to go Hershey!
The 4 Diamonds fund is a great cause and it helps those in need. Those in need with children that have cancer. The treatments and ultimately to help find a cure! I would like to thank the students that came out to dance and give their money to support the fund. We'll see you in March at the Mini THON!
Palmyra High School got together on Friday night February 24, 2012 for the annual benefit for the 4 Diamonds Fund. This is an outstanding program that helps children with cancer. Every year a few hundred students come together and raise money to help support the program. Here they are in front of the poster signed by everyone in attendance.
They come for a fun night of dancing and games all night long till the early morning on Saturday. It's a great cause and it's been an annual event for several years. They have line dances and other great activities throughout. Check out a slew of most enjoyable pictures from this great event!

Lake Point Terrace Apartments Resident
Management/maintenance do not follow up with residents' complaints and issues quickly or completely. Myself a Read Morend other residents wait months for repairs we request multiple times. Overall I like the location because it is close to restaurants, shopping, and downtown. The cleaning crew does a good job and is professional and courtesy. Outdoor landscaping has improved, but snow and ice removal was slow and incomplete. The windows are old and don't have locks, even in first floor units.

The YMCA in Clarksburg is a little bit brighter.
The "Y" has put $20,000 into new lighting for the pool and gymnasium areas.
The new lights are less expensive, more durable, and more energy efficient.
The Y paid for the new lights through a government loan.

Professional Project Option
Students who choose the professional option take 27 hours of traditional course work, including MCOM 5375, Journalistic Freedom and Responsibility, and 6 hours of project-related hour. Project-related hours are divided up into 3 hours of project work and 3 hours of written project description and analysis.
A student must present an oral presentation of the project proposal to the student's full committee and a defense of the completed project to the student's full committee.
The professional option is designed for students seeking an advanced degree to pursue expertise in print or non-print-based informational and non-fiction projects, both in terms of content and effects. Generally, students choosing this option may or may not have an undergraduate degree in journalism. They may be preparing themselves for careers involving long-form print projects such as magazine feature series or book-length non-fiction projects as well as non-print media, such as producing documentaries or designing information web sites.

(January 26, 2014) TALHEIM, Germany – Traditionally one of the first stops on the ATP Challenger Tour every year are the Intersport Heilbronn Open at the Tennis Centre in Talheim. The tournament has always been able to present a strong field of players. Former champions are Carl-Uwe Steeb (1986), Michael Stich (1989), Michael Llodra (2001) and Robin Söderling (2006). This year's edition has prize money of US-$ 125.000 and is one of only ten tournaments in the highest category on ATP Challenger level.
The first semifinal on Saturday was a quick affair. The match between the two Dutchmen, top-seed Igor Sijsling and sixth-seed Jesse Huta Galung only lasted 23 minutes. The latter was forced to retire after the fourth game. "I felt some problems in the left groin," Huta Galung explained afterwards. "I had a similar injury last year, so I recognised immediately what had happened on court. I couldn't run and so it didn't make any sense to play on," the world number 100 continued. "Last time it took about one week to recover, so it's not a big injury but if you're not able to run it is pointless to play tennis," the Dutch said.
In second semi Jiri Vesely faced the tournament's last remaining German in person of Peter Gojowczyk. The only 20-year-old Czech represents a new generation of players, who is tall with good movement on the court. Last year the Czech received the ATP "Star of tomorrow award", reached the quarterfinal in Chennai two weeks ago but wasn't able to qualify for the main draw of the Australian Open. Same happened to his opponent in Melbourne. Nonetheless, Gojowczyk had a great start into the season by reaching the semis in Doha, where he lost to Rafael Nadal in three sets. Both players had faced each other before on clay in Prostejov last year with the better ending for Vesely. In the encounter in Heilbronn, the German was the better player right from the beginning with solid baseline shots and good return games winning in 72 minutes 6-4, 6-3. "Before the match my coach and I analysed Jiri's game very well, which helped me a lot today. I tried to go for his forehand as often as possible, what he doesn't like," Gojowczyk said afterwards. "The final here will be very special for me as in case of a victory I'll be within the top 100 for the very first time," the German was looking forward to his encounter against Igor Sijsling.
Peter Gojowczyk won the last meeting between the two in first round of the US Open last year and in Heilbronn both players have reached the final without dropping a set. On Sunday, it was again the German, who took command of the match. In front of 1400 spectators, Gojowczyk was the more solid player, overpowered his opponent from the baseline and gained the decisive break in the third game of the opening set to eventually take the frame after 28 minutes. The German served big and handled Sijsling's service pretty well. After 71 minutes Gojowczyk closed the match out by an ace winning 6-4, 7-5. "In the beginning I was quite nervous but I was able to handle it," the world number 135 said afterwards. "It helped that I could read his service quite well, in particular in the first set. Later the encounter became more even but I think I was mentally very strong today," Gojowcyzk told us. "Tomorrow I will have a break and relax a bit. It is great to break into the top 100 for the very first time," the German was happy. "Maybe I am going to play in Montpellier next week, as long as I make into the main draw," Gojowcyzk stated about his further plans.
The doubles competition was won by Tomasz Bednarek and Henri Kontinen, who managed to save match points in the 10th game of the second set to finally gain victory against Ken and Neil Skupski winning 3-6, 7-6, 12-10 after one hour and 28 minutes. It was the first title for the unseeded team. "We were a bit luck today. Our opponents were better at the beginning of the match," Bednarek analysed afterwards. "We were sleeping during the first set," Kontinen added. "Maybe it was a bit too early for us, as this was the first match of the week we didn't play in the evening. Nonetheless they played very well but we managed to pick it up," the Finn explained.

A formal complaint was filed Monday with Metro government calling for the removal of Criminal Court clerk David Torrence.
Activist and radio show host Carl Boyd Jr. filed the complaint, citing a provision of the Tennessee Constitution that court clerks can be removed from office for malfeasance, incompetency or neglect of duty.
It's the latest outcry following a Channel 4 I-Team investigation that found Torrence out of the office nearly half of last year and admitting he only works three days a week.
Last week, Torrence issued a public apology.
"It's not good enough for a person to apologize and stay in office," said Boyd. "But when this corruption is exposed, it should be dealt with, and he should be removed from office."
The complaint will now be passed on to Metro's Legal Department.
A Metro councilman has already filed a resolution calling for Torrence to resign or be ousted from office.

Pets Need Homes As Clarksville Animal Rescue Shuts Down
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Ray Vermilio first moved to Clarksville with his wife nine-years ago. They started the Sanctuary for the Left Behind as a way to help dogs and cats, and have been feeding, spaying or neutering and vaccinating for them years.
"We had a drop situation here. We had things being left behind," he said Tuesday.
It's all been funded by donations, partnering with other non-profits or even veterinarians. Adoptions are free to good homes.
They believe that's why they became so popular.
"They knew if they went to the pound they would be put down. So they found out that here we didn't put anything down," Vermilio said.
But now Cathy's health issues means they have to move out-of-state for a procedure. Some dogs will go with them, but others will have to be adopted.
For the Vermilios, it means saying goodbye to unexpected members of their family.
"I don't understand how people can… take an animal and dump it when the rough gets going," he said sobbing.
Shutting down the rescue means leaving pieces of them behind in Tennessee.
The couple is working with the Humane Society of Clarksville - Montgomery County. They need to get the remaining animals adopted out by this weekend.

Guest Post: Tenerife Like a Local.
Guest post by Jack Montgomery.
In my blog announcements at the start of 2013, I declared The Shooting Star travel blog open for guest posts. This first one comes Jack, who lives in the Canary Islands of Spain, off the west coast of Africa. He showcases Tenerife, often called one of the last paradise isles in Europe, from the lens of a local.
Although the Canary Island of Tenerife is an immensely popular holiday hotspot, most of the information you'll read about it in English covers only a small area of the island. Subsequently, a lot of Tenerife's most fascinating corners remain hidden from the majority of visitors.
A useful by-product of the island being a top tourist destination is that getting to Tenerife is easy. All anyone has to do to uncover an island different from the one most sun seekers know, is to book a cheap flight from Monarch and, after landing at Tenerife Sur airport, head north to where the Canarios live and play, rather than south towards the main resorts.
Party like a local: Nightlife in Tenerife.
Most visitors claim Playa de las Américas is the nightlife capital of Tenerife. But only where tourists are concerned. Tenerife's former capital, La Laguna, is a university city and where there are students, there's a bouncing nocturnal scene. El Cuadrilátero is a triangle of streets where the liveliest bars and clubs are located. Not only is this the place for travellers who want to hear the best local beats, it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Eat like a local: Food in Tenerife.
You can't get more local than eating in a guachinche. Few visitors have heard of these makeshift restaurants found in garages and sheds in north Tenerife which, as long as they serve no more than three cheap traditional dishes and their own vino del país (country wine), don't need a licence to operate. To find one, look for 'guachinche' signs nailed to trees and arrows pointing along anonymous tracks. Eating in one is a unique experience and you won't find them anywhere else in Spain.
Relax like a local: Beaches in Tenerife.
If you like your playas (beaches) to have a wild, carefree personality rather than rows of neat sun loungers, the black sand beauties at in La Orotava shouldn't disappoint. Access only through a single track road, or a forty minute trek through banana plantations, keeps the hordes away. There are three beaches hidden by cliffs, including one used for camping, surfing and sunbathing au natural. Even if you aren't a beach bum, Bollullo's ramshackle beach bar is in a stunning spot for sinking a cerveza (beer) and picking at tapas.
Hike like a local: Mountains in Tenerife.
Spain's highest mountain, Mount Teide, is deservedly visited by nearly everyone; however, head into the Anaga Mountains for some mind-blowing scenery minus the crowds. There are ancient laurel forests here, tiny hamlets perched on plunging ravines, and even a troglodyte community at Chinamada with a cave restaurant. Book into the Montes de Anaga hostel deep in the mountains, and follow trails into the atmospheric forest to take a step back in time.
Discover like a local: Tenerife's Pyramids.
And finally, a mystery. The Güímar Pyramids are the cause of heated debates across the Canary Islands. Opinion is divided as to whether they were built by Tenerife's indigenous people, the Guanches, or are farmers' rubble – which seems crazy, but it's a view many Canarios hold. Visit them, listen to the evidence, and decide for yourself.
About the author: Jack Montgomery is a travel writer/blogger, currently living on a banana plantation in the north of Tenerife. Besides writing and blogging about his travels worldwide, he is the co-founder of specialist websites about the Tenerife that lies beyond the tourist resorts.

Osman To Equal Record
But no Baines as Blues tackle Sunderland.
Leon Osman will equal David Unsworth's record of 302 Premier League appearances for Everton when the Blues take on Sunderland this Boxing Day - but there is no return for left-back Leighton Baines.
Midfielder Osman is part of just one change for manager Roberto Martinez, who has opted to rest 20-year-old Ross Barkley and move him to the bench.
Baines was expected to make his return to the first-team fold after five games out with a fractured toe but Costa Rican Bryan Oviedo continues to deputise.
The former Copenhagen star is joined in defence by Seamus Coleman, Sylvain Distin and skipper Phil Jagielka, with Tim Howard continuing between the sticks.
Osman's midfield cohorts will be James McCarthy, Steven Pienaar, Kevin Mirallas and Gareth Barry, leaving Romelu Lukaku to once again lead the line in attack.
An outing against Southampton at Goodison Park on 29 December would now see Osman overhaul former teammate Unsworth to become Everton's leading league appearance maker of the Premier League era.
Everton: Howard, Jagielka, Distin, Oviedo, Coleman, Mirallas, McCarthy, Barry, Osman, Pienaar, Lukaku. Subs: Robles, Heitinga, Jelavic, Naismith, Barkley, Stones, Alcaraz
Sunderland: Mannone, Celustka, Bardsley, Diakite, Roberge, Cattermole, Ki, Colback, Larsson, Borini, Fletcher. Subs: Dossena, Cabral, Johnson, Altidore, Ba, Giaccherini, Pickford

As much as I enjoy the crisp feel of the autumn air, the beauty in the changing colors of the leaves and the sound of Kenny Chesney singing "The Boys of Fall" on my MP3 player, I'm feeling a bit melancholy about our fleeting days of summer.
From beginning to end — a mere 13 weeks — the summer season seems hardly long enough to pack everything in.
That first weekend of summer began with a Daily Globe picnic at Chautauqua Park and a first birthday party for my beautiful one-year-old great-niece Elsie, and it seems every weekend since has been filled with one activity or another.
It must be a built-in trait of Minnesotans to cram as many outdoor activities as possible into a span of just a few months because, as we all know, the snow is going to start flying soon enough.
So, from birthday parties and trips to the lake to weekends at the office and lazy days with my nose in a good book, I whittled away yet another summer. I didn't watch a single Twins game – and I didn't get to Fairmont to watch my nephews play in Little League. It seems my summer was spent "preparing for Germany", "being in Germany", dealing with a quick recovery from Germany before "fair week", followed by "post-fair week" and State Fair week. Boom. Just like that and it was over.
But, there are the memories … my first limit of northern pike; putting leeches on hooks for nephews too scared to do it themselves; bonfires; watching wild turkeys grow up on the farm; listening to pheasants cackle; four-wheeler rides; conversations with neighbor kids in my backyard; princess and dinosaur birthday parties; croquet.
I find the greatest memories come from the kids.
A couple of weeks ago, my great-nephew and I hopped on the four-wheeler and took off for the back pasture just as the sun had begun its descent and a light fog was settling over the Ocheyedan River.
I had just turned down the lane when the pungent odor of skunk hit us in the face. I sped up. Brody was chattering about the stink and then told me to slow down because he was cold. Yes, fall is in the air.
We drove a little farther.
Brody started chattering again. Apparently he just saw a kangaroo hopping through the soybean field.
"Are you sure it was a kangaroo?" I asked.
"Yes, it was a kangaroo!" he exclaimed in his confident, almost-4-year-old voice. "I saw it!"
"What did it look like?"
"Like a kangaroo! It was jumping!"
"Could it have been a deer?"
"No Julie … it was a kangaroo!"
It wouldn't be the first kangaroo sighting in Back 40. Not too many years ago, probably about this same time of year, I tried to convince one of my nephews that the creature we were admiring — again in a soybean field — was a kangaroo. All we could see was the head and neck.
I almost had the boy convinced, too, if the deer hadn't been spooked and started leaping over the bean rows.
I'm pretty sure I took a sock to the arm for stretching such a tale. This time around, with the next generation of the Buntjer family along for the ride, it wasn't the boy that needed convincing, but his aunt. This time around, I didn't get a sock to the arm. Instead, I got "the look."
You just don't argue with an almost-four-year-old.

Defense agency pulls OpenBSD funding

Site to pool scrutiny of Linux securityFebruary 6, 2002
The unused portion of a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to fund development of the open-source operating system Open Berkeley Software Design (OpenBSD) has been pulled for unspecified reasons.
The project's leader, Theo de Raadt, said Thursday he was informed by e-mail that the remaining portion of the $2.3 million grant has been pulled. An e-mail message from a professor who is managing the grant did not provide a reason, but de Raadt said he believes the cancellation was prompted by concerns about the money going to too many foreign developers and to antiwar statements that de Raadt made to reporters.
"They decided that they didn't want (our project) anymore," de Raadt said Thursday, less than hour after he received notification. "This is it. It's over."
DARPA, the arm of the U.S. Department of Defense that funds research and development and is best known for funding the project that later became the Internet, awarded the grant in 2001 as part of its Composable High-Assurance Trusted Systems (CHATS) projects, said de Raadt.
About $1 million had been allotted to add new security features to OpenBSD, an open-source OS that many consider to be the most secure free implementation of a Unix-like system. The project had finished most of the work in the first three months of the grant and had been recently using the money to fund more security enhancements to the software, de Raadt said at a recent security conference.
A University of Pennsylvania computer science professor named Jonathan Smith had originally applied for the grant under the title, "Portable Open-Source Security Enhancements," or POSSE. About $500,000 of the grant money went to several U.K. researchers to do a vulnerability analysis on Open Secure Sockets Layer (OpenSSL), a widely used program for encrypting communications, especially to and from Web sites. A handful of flaws were found, de Raadt said.
Smith refused to comment on the funding, citing the sensitivity of the issue. An e-mail to the POSSE project?s DARPA representative wasn't answered.
Earlier this week, de Raadt said he was told that officials from DARPA were concerned about statements appearing in press reports that indicated most of the grant was being funneled to foreign researchers, an apparent no-no for government-funded projects. Moreover, de Raadt believed that the U.S. government took exception to comments he made indicating that the money spent on his project meant that fewer cruise missiles were being built.
"In the United States today, free speech is just a myth," de Raadt said.
He estimated that about 85 percent of the grant money has already been spent and that the remaining portion would have continued the project for another six months. "The only money that I got was my salary," he said.
With nearly 60 OpenBSD hackers traveling to Canada to take part in a "hackathon"--a week's worth of programming sessions--the project now finds itself about $30,000 short of the money it needs to house the attendees.
"We are left in the lurch very seriously...and will need to struggle to keep our conference facilities in some way," de Raadt said.
The project plans to ship version 3.3 of the OpenBSD system on Friday. An acknowledgment of the role that DARPA played, which was to appear on the back of the box, will instead be covered by a sticker, he said.

- De Raadt's is just a stupid Nazi German, who follows Emmanuel Kants' Neo-Platonism. In Every War, since 1860, America's Military Opponents have fought an Elite that followed Emmanuel Kant. Dummy or Communist, de Raadt ignores that Free Speech, if misused, has Negative Consequences. De Raadt may pretend ignorance, but probably,he is just an old communist.
