I highly, highly recommend Violet Blue's new Total Flirt app. Screen grab mine. Yes, I know Violet, am friends with her and have worked with her, but I would have bought this anyway (and did buy it, fyi). I think if you are at all socially challenged, it gives you a way to start a conversation and assess how one is going. My official review (dear App Store - please approve it - I keep hitting "submit" and it is "loading" forever, and I've never reviewed an app before so, um…yeah, please approve it or tell me how to fix it!) is below. Click here for The Total Flirt website.
My review of The Total Flirt app:
This is a very practical app that gives quick, concrete information you can eyeball on an actual night out to gain both confidence and real-world advice on everything from approaching someone in a group setting to flirting without words to closing the deal. It's nor a rehash of the book (which I also recommend) but instead leads you through actual icebreakers with lines to get the conversation started and ways to gauge what the other person is really thinking. Violet Blue breaks down what can be very awkward for many of us into small actions you can take that can get you to the next level. I also liked that you can use these skills even if you're just looking to flirt for the sake of flirting and not being the person hovering all night at the drinks table. She tells you how to handle interference, get into "flirt mode," size a person up and decide if they're worth it, and much more. I consider myself a pretty social person but I tend to freeze up in exactly some of the scenarios Blue guides you through here. While the app is geared toward single men and women (some advice is geared toward one gender but most applies to anyone), even if you're not looking to "close the deal" you can learn how to start and stay in conversations and become comfortable with flirting rather than fearing it or relying on, say, alcohol or outrageousness. Easy to navigate, clean, simple design. You're able to go back one or more steps and each action is broken down so you can easily slip away for a moment, peruse the app and get back into flirt mode. Highly recommended for both shy people and those who just want a social boost at parties, bars, etc.

Opio stands among a protected area of olive trees, cork oaks and heather, blessed with an undeniable Mediterranean charm. The village is located a little inland from the Cote d'Azur, perched on a ridge above the coastal plain, nestled in amongst the trees and shrubs that originally covered the entire region. The village is an absolute delight in which to stay, seemingly miles from any tourist crowd, yet just 15km from the golden beaches of the French Riviera.
The village is set among 450 hectares of forests, which is perfect for walking and horse riding holidays. The forests is fantastically peaceful, protecting walkers and riders from the sting of the summer sun and providing almost endless spots to sit and recapture your breath before heading further into the forest, looking for an idyllic spot in which to have your lunch.
The Begude Golf Course is the toast of many local golfers. Stretching out below the village, the golf course is hugely picturesque yet don't allow this to lull you into a false sense of confidence; there are a couple of real challenges to overcome as you play a round. There are also a number of public tennis courts for your use within the village. The Club Med leisure resort at the bottom of the village has a great range of leisure facilities available.
The huge allure of the coast can be very hard to ignore from a holiday rental villa in Opio, but, with only 25km between the two, a day at the beach is an excellent option. The famous beaches of Antibes and Cannes are among the closest, and some of the best if you would like to enjoy scuba diving, deep sea fishing, sailing, surfing, windsurfing or waterskiing, but for days of pure relaxation stretched out on the golden sand, there are many miles of pristine beaches to choose from.
If you are staying in Opio accommodation for any length of time, the attractions of Valbonne and Chateauneuf will most likely become quit familiar. Valbonne is a wonderful medieval village, which still bustles with activity, especially on Friday, which is market day. There are a great range of restaurants, galleries and antique shops.
The beautiful climate of the Cote d'Azur is a huge attraction for those renting self catering Opio accommodation, as the summer months are an absolute joy. With daily temperatures routinely soaring into the mid 30's (˚C) from June until late September, long Indian summers and fantastically balmy evenings, Opio villas are in high demand for the majority of the year, with golfers flocking down in the winter as daily temperatures are rarely below 15˚C and you will often have the whole course to yourself.
A holiday rental property in Opio is just 25km from Nice International Airport, a major transport hub in the south of France. There are a great range of flights arriving into Nice from the UK, from luxury services to budget flights with 'no frills' airlines. If you would really like to get the most from the region during your stay in Opio accommodation, having the use of a hire car is strongly recommended, especially as it means that you are free to come and go from the beaches of the French Riviera as you please.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Along for the ride on Governor Rick Snyder's recent trade mission to Asia was the CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation Mike Finney, and he used the opportunity to try to differentiate Michigan from other states also trying to attract Chinese and Japanese investment. Finney tells us that, while in China, he was able to point to several things accomplished since Rick Snyder became governor that make the state more business friendly.
Among other things, Finney touted the new right to work law, cuts to unemployment and workman's comp, and changes to the state's business tax.
Finney says that Michigan is in competition for investment not only with other states, but countries all over the world. He says that representatives from dozens of countries can be found in China at any given time trying to attract jobs.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Nazi salute or Hitler salute (German: Hitlergruß – literally Hitler Greeting) is a gesture that was used as a greeting in Nazi Germany. The salute is performed by extending the right arm in the air with a straightened hand. Usually, the person offering the salute would say "Heil Hitler!" (Hail Hitler!), "Heil, mein Führer!" (Hail, my leader!), or "Sieg heil!" (Hail victory!). It was adopted in the 1930s by the Nazi Party to signal obedience to the party's leader – Adolf Hitler – and to glorify the German nation (and later the German war effort). The salute was mandatory for civilians[1] but mostly optional for military personnel, who retained the traditional military salute until shortly after the failed assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944.[2]
Use of this salute is currently a criminal offense in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Austria.[3]
The salute was performed by extending the right arm to at least eye level, and straightening the hand so that it is parallel to the arm.[4] Usually, an utterance of "Heil Hitler!", or "Heil!" accompanied the gesture.
If one saw an acquaintance at a distance, it sufficed to simply raise the right hand.[4] If one encountered a superior, one would also say "Heil Hitler".[4] If physical disability prevented raising the right arm, it was acceptable to raise the left.[5] The form "Heil, mein Führer!" was for direct address to Hitler.[6] "Sieg Heil" was repeated as a chant on public occasions.[6] Written communications would be concluded with either mit deutschem Gruß ("with German regards"), or with "Heil Hitler".[7] In correspondence with high-ranking Nazi officials, letters were usually signed with "Heil Hitler".[8]
Hitler gave the salute in two ways. When reviewing his troops or crowds he generally used the traditional stiff armed salute. When greeting individuals he used a modified version of the salute, bending his right arm while holding an open hand towards those greeted at shoulder height.[9]
The oral greeting "Heil" became popular in the pan-German movement around 1900.[10] As a manner of address, Führer was introduced by Georg Ritter von Schönerer, who considered himself leader of the Austrian Germans.[10]
The salute gesture is widely believed to be based on an ancient Roman custom.[11] However, no surviving Roman work of art depicts it, nor does any extant Roman text describe it.[11] Jacques-Louis David's painting Oath of the Horatii (1784) seems to be the starting point for the gesture that became known as the Roman salute.[12][13] The gesture and its identification with ancient Rome was advanced in other French neoclassic art.[14][15][16] This was further elaborated upon in popular culture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in plays and films that portrayed the salute as an ancient Roman custom.[17] This included the silent film Cabiria (1914), whose screenplay was written by the Italian ultra-nationalist Gabriele d'Annunzio, arguably the forerunner of Benito Mussolini.[18] In 1919, when he led the occupation of Fiume, d'Annunzio adopted the style of salute depicted in the film as a neo-Imperialist ritual;[19] and it was quickly adopted by the Italian Fascist Party.[19]
By autumn 1923, some members of the Nazi Party were using the rigid, outstretched right arm salute to greet Hitler, who responded by raising his own right hand crooked back at the elbow, palm opened upwards, in a gesture of acceptance.[20] In 1926, the Heil Hitler salute was made compulsory.[5] It functioned as a display of commitment to the Party and a declaration of principle to the outside world.[21] Yet the drive to gain acceptance did not go unchallenged.[21]
Some party members challenged the legitimacy of the so-called Roman salute, employed by Fascist Italy, as un-Germanic.[21] In response, efforts were made to establish its pedigree by inventing a tradition after the fact.[21] In June 1928, Rudolf Hess published an article titled "The Fascist Greeting", which claimed that the gesture was used in Germany as early as 1921, before the Nazis had heard about the Italian Fascists.[22] He admits in the article: "The NSDAP's introduction of the raised-arm greeting approximately two years ago still gets some people's blood boiling. Its opponents suspect the greeting of being un-Germanic. They accuse it of merely aping the (Italian) Fascists",[23] but goes on to ask, "and even if the decree from two years ago (Hess's order that all party members use it) is seen as an adaption of the Fascist gesture, is that really so terrible"?[23] Ian Kershaw points out that Hess did not deny the likely influence from Fascist Italy, even if indeed the salute had been used sporadically in 1921 as Hess claimed.[24]
On the night of 3 January 1942, Hitler said of the origins of the salute:[25]
I made it the salute of the Party long after the Duce had adopted it. I'd read the description of the sitting of the Diet of Worms, in the course of which Luther was greeted with the German salute. It was to show him that he was not being confronted with arms, but with peaceful intentions. In the days of Frederick the Great, people still saluted with their hats, with pompous gestures. In the Middle Ages the serfs humbly doffed their bonnets, whilst the noblemen gave the German salute. It was in the Ratskeller at Bremen, about the year 1921, that I first saw this style of salute. It must be regarded as a survival of an ancient custom, which originally signified: "See, I have no weapon in my hand!" I introduced the salute into the Party at our first meeting in Weimar. The SS at once gave it a soldierly style. It's from that moment that our opponents honored us with the epithet "dogs of Fascists".—Adolf Hitler, Hitler's Table Talk
The Bellamy salute, adopted in 1892 to accompany the American Pledge of Allegiance, bore a resemblance to the Nazi Salute. For this reason, President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted the hand-over-the-heart gesture as the salute to be rendered by civilians during the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem in the United States, instead of the Bellamy salute.[26] This was done when Congress officially adopted the Flag Code on 22 June 1942.[27]
Per a decree issued by Reich Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick on 13 July 1933 (one day before the ban on all non-Nazi parties), all German public employees were required to use the salute.[1] The decree also required the salute during the singing of the national anthem and the Horst-Wessel-Lied.[1] It stipulated that "anyone not wishing to come under suspicion of behaving in a consciously negative fashion will therefore render the Hitler Greeting".[1] A rider to the decree, added two weeks later, stipulated that if physical disability prevented raising of the right arm, "then it is correct to carry out the Greeting with the left arm."[5] On 27 September, prison inmates were forbidden to use the salute,[28] as were Jews by 1937.[29]
By the end of 1934, special courts were established to punish those who refused to salute.[30] Offenders, such as Protestant preacher Paul Schneider, faced the possibility of being sent to a concentration camp.[30] Foreigners were not exempt from intimidation if they refused to salute. For example, the Portuguese Consul General was beaten by members of the Sturmabteilung for remaining seated in a car and not saluting a procession in Hamburg.[31] Reactions to inappropriate use were not merely violent but sometimes bizarre.[32] For example, a memo dated 23 July 1934 sent to local police stations stated: "There have been reports of traveling vaudeville performers training their monkeys to give the German Greeting....see to it that said animals are destroyed".[32]
The salute became an ordinary way of life.[33] Postmen used the greeting when they knocked on people's doors to deliver packages or letters.[33] Small metal signs that reminded people to use the Hitler salute were displayed in public squares and on telephone poles and street lights throughout Germany.[34] Department store clerks greeted customers with "Heil Hitler, how may I help you?"[33] Dinner guests brought glasses etched with the words "Heil Hitler" as house gifts.[33] The salute was required of all persons passing the Feldherrnhalle in Munich, site of the climax of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, which the government had made into a shrine to the Nazi dead; so many pedestrians avoided this mandate by detouring through the small Viscardigasse behind that the passage acquired the nickname "Dodgers' Alley" (Drückebergergasse).[35]
Children were indoctrinated at an early age.[36] Kindergarten children were taught to raise their hand to the proper height by hanging their lunch bags across the raised arm of their teacher.[36] At the beginning of first grade primers was a lesson on how to use the greeting.[36] The greeting found its way into fairy tales, including classics like Sleeping Beauty.[36] Students and teachers would salute each other at the beginning and end of the school day, between classes, or whenever an adult entered the classroom.[37]
Some athletes used the Nazi salute in the opening ceremony of the 1936 Berlin Olympics as they passed by Hitler in the reviewing stand.[38] This was done by delegates from Afghanistan, Bermuda, Bulgaria, Bolivia, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy and Turkey.[38] The Bulgarian athletes performed the Nazi salute and broke into a goose-step;[38] Turkish athletes maintained the salute all around the track.[39] There is some confusion over the use of the salute, since the stiff-arm Nazi salute could have been mistaken for an Olympic salute, with the right arm held out at a slight angle to the right from the shoulder.[38] According to the American sports writer Jeremy Schaap, only half of the athletes from Austria performed a Nazi salute, while the other half gave an Olympic salute. According to the historian Richard Mandell, there are conflicting reports on whether athletes from France performed a Nazi salute or an Olympic Salute.[39] In football, the England football team bowed to pressure from the British foreign office and performed the salute during a friendly match on 14 May 1938.[40]
The Wehrmacht refused to adopt officially the Hitler salute and was able for a time to maintain its own customs.[41] A compromise edict from the Reich Defense Ministry, released on 19 September 1933, required the Hitler salute of soldiers and uniformed civil servants while singing the Horst Wessel Lied and national anthem, and in non-military encounters both within and outside the Wehrmacht (for example, when greeting members of the civilian government). At all other times they were permitted to use their traditional salutes.[41] Use of the Hitler salute was also permitted when in uniform. However, it is of importance to note that according to (pre-Nazi) Reichswehr and Wehrmacht protocol, the traditional military salute was not permitted when the saluting soldier was not wearing a uniform headgear (helmet or cap). Because of this, all salutes performed bareheaded, even when in full uniform and on duty made the Nazi salute de facto mandatory in most situations.[42]
Only after the 20 July Plot in 1944 were the military forces of the Third Reich ordered to replace the standard military salute with the Hitler salute, as a show of loyalty in deference to the fact that it was Army officers that had been responsible for the assassination attempt.[43] The order went into effect on 24 July 1944.[43] The use of the Hitler salute by the military had been discussed as early as January 1944 in a conference regarding traditions in the military at Hitler's headquarters. Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, head of the Armed Forces, had expressed a desire to standardize the salute across all organizations in Germany.[44]
On the night of 3 January 1942, Hitler stated the following about the compromise edict of 1933:[25]
I imposed the German salute for the following reason. I'd given orders, at the beginning, that in the Army I should not be greeted with the German salute. But many people forgot. Fritsch drew his conclusions, and punished all who forgot to give me the military salute, with fourteen days' confinement to barracks. I, in turn, drew my conclusions and introduced the German salute likewise into the Army.—Adolf Hitler, Hitler's Table Talk
Despite indoctrination and punishment, the salute was ridiculed by some people. Since "heil" is also the imperative of the German verb "heilen" ("to heal"), a common joke in Nazi Germany was to reply with "Is he sick?", "Am I a doctor?", or "You heal him!"[45] Jokes were also made by distorting the phrase. So for example Heil Hitler might become Ein Liter ("One liter").[45] Cabaret performer Karl Valentin would quip, "It's lucky that Hitler's name wasn't 'Kräuter'. Otherwise, we'd have to go around yelling Heilkräuter ('medicinal herbs')".[45] Similar puns were made involving Bronn (rendering Heilbronn, a German city), and Butt (rendering Heilbutt, the German word for halibut).
Satirical use of the salute dates back to anti-Nazi propaganda in Germany before 1933. In 1932, photomontage artist John Heartfield used Hitler's modified version, with the hand bent over the shoulder, in a poster that linked Hitler to Big Business. A giant figure representing right-wing capitalists stands behind Hitler, placing money in his hand, suggesting 'backhand' donations. The caption is, "the meaning of the Hitler salute" and "Millions stand behind me".[46] Heartfield was forced to flee in 1933 after the Nazi seizure of power in Germany.
Another example is a cartoon by New Zealand political cartoonist David Low, mocking the night of the long knives. Run in the Evening Standard on July 3, 1934, it shows Hitler with a smoking gun grimacing at terrified SA men with their hands up. The caption reads: "They salute with both hands now".[47]
Sieg Heil was a ritualistic chant used at mass rallies, where enthusiastic crowds answered Heil to the call of Sieg ("victory").[48] For example, at the 1934 Nuremberg Rally, Rudolf Hess ends his climactic speech with, "The Party is Hitler. But Hitler is Germany, just as Germany is Hitler. Hitler! Sieg Heil!"[49] At his total war speech delivered in 1943, audiences shouted Sieg Heil as Joseph Goebbels solicited from them "a kind of plebiscitary 'Ja'" to total war.[50]
On 11 March 1945, less than two months before the capitulation of Nazi Germany, a memorial for the dead of the war was held in Marktschellenberg, a small town near Hitler's Berghof residence.[51] The British historian Ian Kershaw marks that the power of the Führer-cult and the 'Hitler Myth' had vanished which is evident from a report given in the little Bavarian town of Markt Schellenberg on March 11, 1945:
"When the leader of the Wehrmacht unit at the end of his speech called for a Sieg Heil for the Führer, it was returned neither by the Wehrmacht present, nor by the Volkssturm, nor by the spectators of the civilian population who had turned up. This silence of the masses... probably reflects better than anything else, the attitudes of the population."[51]
The Swing Kids (German: Swing Jugend) were a group of middle-class teenagers who consciously separated themselves from Nazism and its culture, greeting each other with 'Swing-Heil!' and addressing one another as 'old-hot-boy'.[52] This playful behaviour was dangerous for participants in the subculture; on 2 January 1942, Heinrich Himmler ordered that the leaders be put in concentration camps to be drilled and beaten.[52]
Today in Germany, Nazi salutes in written form, vocally, and even straight-extending the right arm as a saluting gesture (with or without the phrase), are illegal.[53][54] It is a criminal offence punishable by up to three years of prison (Strafgesetzbuch section 86a).[54][55] Usage for art, teaching and science is allowed unless "the existence of an insult results from the form of the utterance or the circumstances under which it occurred".[55] Use of the salute has also been illegal in Austria since the end of World War II.
Usage that is "ironic and clearly critical of the Hitler Greeting" is exempt, which has led to legal debates as to what constitutes ironic use.[56] One recent case involved Prince Albrecht of Hanover, who was brought to court after using the gesture as a commentary on the behavior of an unduly zealous airport baggage inspector.[56] On 23 November 2007, the Amtsgericht Cottbus sentenced Horst Mahler to six months of imprisonment without parole for having, according to his own claims, ironically performed the Hitler salute when reporting to prison for a nine-month term a year earlier.[57] The following month, a pensioner named Roland T was given a prison term of five months for, amongst other things, training his dog Adolf to raise his right paw in a Nazi salute every time the command "Heil Hitler!" was uttered.[58]
Modified versions of the salute are sometimes used by neo-Nazis. One such version is the so-called "Kühnen salute" with extended thumb, index and middle finger, which is also a criminal offence in Germany.[59] In written correspondence, the number 88 is sometimes used by some neo-Nazis as a substitute for "Heil Hitler" ("H" as the eighth letter of the alphabet).[60] Swiss neo-nazis were reported to use a variant of the Kühnengruss, thought extending one's right arm over their head and extending said three fingers has a different historical source for Switzerland, as the first three Eidgenossen or confederates are often depicted with this motion.
On 28 May 2012, BBC current affairs programme Panorama examined the issues of racism, antisemitism and football hooliganism, which it claimed were prevalent among Polish and Ukrainian football supporters. The programme, titled Euro 2012: Stadiums of Hate, included recent footage of Ukrainian supporters giving the Nazi salute and shouting "Sieg Heil". The two countries hosted the international football competition UEFA Euro 2012.[61]
On 16 March 2013, Greek footballer Giorgos Katidis of AEK Athens F.C. was handed a life ban from the Greek national team for performing the salute after scoring a goal against Veria F.C. in Athens' Olympic Stadium.[62]
On 9 December 2013, two Turkish students were arrested after apparently raising their arms in a Hitler salute at the former Nazi German death camp of Auschwitz.[63]

If the resurgence of portmanteau films like V/H/S has fired your imagination, don't miss Italian master Mario Bava's wonderful horror anthology.
The Telephone is a sexy Sapphic giallo; The Wurdalak, based on a Tolstoy story (!) and starring Boris Karloff, is an object lesson in mist-shrouded Gothica; while The Drop Of Water is a terrifying tale of beyond-the-grave vengeance.
This exemplary re-release contains an expert commentary, introduction and interviews, as well as the original European and much-abused American versions.
The film's name inspired the heavy metal band; the camp coda beggars belief.

There's been a lot of talk about making cities, buildings and cars more "green," but what about making your diet greener? With just a few changes you can make this often neglected food group a more prominent part of your plate.
"Green-leafy vegetables are just amazing for all the nutrition and fiber that they provide, for so few calories," says Melissa Greives, MS, RD, a clinical dietitian at Rush. "These vegetables are high in vitamin A, C and calcium. They also provide a lot of soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps lower your cholesterol and can decrease your cancer risk."
Greives reports that an added bonus of eating more vegetables is the fiber can help you feel satisfied longer, because the nutrients remain in the stomach longer with the fiber. "The satisfied feeling can also lead to decreased caloric consumption and ultimately weight loss," she says.
Vegetables should make up the majority of your plate. A good rule of thumb is for half of the plate to be vegetables with the other half left for equal parts protein and starch. "You can devote a quarter of the plate to green leafy vegetables, like spinach or a simple salad, and another quarter to other vegetables, such as grilled peppers or squash," says Greives.
"One thing that you have to be aware of when cooking vegetables, the vitamins can leach out into the water," says Greives. "Whenever possible, eat vegetables raw or lightly steamed rather than cooked immersed in water."
Some ideas for adding greens to your diet:
Some common greens for salads and sandwiches:
Some greens for steaming, sautéing and stir-frying:
"My suggestion is to go for the green vegetables first," says Greives. "You'll feel more satisfied and you'll be getting lots of fiber and nutrition."

We're now into week three and there is a definite structure to our homeschooling approach. I was a bit unsure at first what our days would look like - would they be very uniform, forgiving, or all over the place? My thinking was that with two young ones, it would probably be more all over the place but we have managed to keep a rhythm. Mornings in our house are usually spent devoting ourselves to "schooling" time, which does not resemble the institutional idea of schooling what-so-ever, and I'm comfortable with that. I bounced around a lot wondering if we should invest in desks, have folders with names, and designated work area, but I have to remind myself that Myra is barely 3 and preschool age is all about make believe, imitation, engaging and most importantly reading.
With all that in mind, this is how our week mornings are structured (loosely):
Mondays: Library day
Tuesday: Arts and crafts day
Wednesday: Make-sure-we-get-out-into-nature-day (very important once winter comes that we maintain this!)
Thursday Catch-up-on-chores, while the kids play, day
Friday Baking day
Saturday and Sunday Family days
Baking day in our household. Can you tell she's still in PJs? Learning still happens in PJs!
Obviously there is a lot of room for flexibility. Myra has really been into arts and crafts lately and has been asking me to do some projects with her when Reid is taking his nap. And then there are the days that a mix of almost everything happens, minus the chore part.
I've really been trying to focus on being with the kids more and not worrying about the housework. That's a challenge for me, yet at the same time, I'm beginning to get weepy about Myra turning three in November. They truly are only little for so long.
What does your rhythm look like? Are you very structured or lenient? Do you break activities down daily, weekly, monthly?

Perfect World - prologuePrologueA little girl sat crying alongside a small river. She cried, letting her tears join the river, disturbing the dark image of her reflection. Her family was dead. Killed by a gang. There was nothing left for her. She cradled the small black gun in her hands. Even though she was only five years old, she knew what this little thing could do.Her dark reflection quivered, drawing her attention to the water, and away from the small gun. Her reflection got darker and darker, until it was completely black, and the eyes glowed bright yellow. She set the gun down and reached out to touch it, and a small black hand reached out and grabbed her fingers. She gasped, but did not pull away. Slowly the small creature pulled itself from the water. It carefully crawled into her lap. It was so tiny, she could hold it in one hand.She pulled it up to her face to look into its golden eyes. It stared back into her green eyes. The soaking creature then sneezed in her
Spyro: Dawn of Light, 2-26SPYRO: DAWN OF LIGHTPart 2CHAPTER 26"CAELOS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???" Spyro called, dissipating the harsh air-blasts the wind dragon was causing around him.~Every girl that lays eyes on you desires you...even the ones I love...~ a voice around him growled. A tornado surrounded the gray dragon, threatening to pull Spyro in. ~I've sat in the background for far too long, Spyro...defending you, protecting you...and at what cost?? You get everything!!~ Spyro yelped as the tornado pulled him in; using his motion he shot free of its grasp again, having nowhere to really run. Feeling an incoming thunderclap, and sensing Caelos' power waiting to amplify the sound waves into a destructive pressure blast, he focused his own wind powers to try to neutralize the blast. Caelos was overpowering though; Spyro didn't hear the blast, shielding his ears, but his body felt the sound shock, temporarily disorienting him.

If you don't, I'm not to blame for anything that happens!))They say that at times, you can't even trust your own family. That someday, eventually, something will happen that will completely warp your beliefs... your acceptance of them. I guess for me, that day was a long time coming.One would think I'd have learned not to trust so easily after experiences in my past left me where I am today. But I was given a good crew, and I put a great deal of stock in them.I guess I just never thought something like this would happen...Part Four: AmaranthineBit by bit, information was coming in.

Our Baby Chapter 11Chapter 11Falcon had reached the 6th month of his pregnancy. The day before he had his monthly appointment with Dr. Taylor. She told him the babies were progressing normally and that he would need to take it easy. He was sitting in the hammock in the back yard just trying to get the twins to relax. Nothing seemed to calm them, Falcon was wondering if they were just trying to torture him. It was getting hot out but sadly it was not hot enough to use the pool yet. He was gonna have the company come out to clean the pool tomorrow and have it filled. He may not use it right away but he planned on starting to soon. He smiled as Wolf came out with lemonade for him."Are you feeling any better honey?" Falcon shook his head no. "I am sorry, I wish there was something I could do. I hope they calm soon, you have been out here all day. It is a miracle you don't have sunburn yet." He sat on the ground next to the hammock. He smiled when Falcon sat up and put his legs around Wolf. He le
Our Baby Chapter 4-2Wolf took Falcon out to see a movie. They watched a horror movie, the whole time Falcon was holding Wolf's hand while his other hand rested on his stomach. He could swear at moment when the movie got a really scary part the twins seemed to move as if they sensed their mother's anxiety. He would just smile and rub his stomach until they calmed down.The movie ended and they went out to lunch. Falcon must have grossed out the man at the counter when he ordered a hoagie with bologna, Munster cheese and pickles with mayo. The man just shook his head and made the sandwich. Falcon just looked at Wolf and smiled. It was as if he knew Wolf was looking at the man disapprovingly. Once their sandwiches were made, they went and sat in a booth by the door. "How is your birthday going Falcon? Are you and the babies ok?""Yeah we are fine. I am just so happy. Who would have guessed that we are going to be parents to twins? This may be one of the best days 0f my life." He looked down at his stomach an
Spyro: Dawn of Light, 2-27SPYRO: DAWN OF LIGHTPart 2CHAPTER 27Spyro lunged to the side, just barely avoiding another of Cynder's shadow spears. The spear formed into a tentacle, whipping around at him, but he dissolved it with a blast of light, gathering that energy and sending it hurtling at Cynder. It bounced off her shadow shield with a bright flash of color. Both growled loudly and dashed in at each other, sidestepping and spinning around direct attacks, spinning around rapidly at the last moment. Spyro brought both paws whipping around, one right at her neck and the other with a light-laced ice blade poised to smite her right through the jugular. At the same time Cynder brought a poison-laced shadow blade around towards his heart, a lance of dark matter in her other paw aimed right between his eyes. They pulled their strikes just short of each other, panting as they stood with their elemental weapons poised for killstrikes, stalemated.
Transformers animated, the story continued!Optimus prime stood of the deck of omega supreme's bridge area. A whole stellar cycle had past since his battle with Megatron and prowl's funeral. He still thought of his friend and how he had given his spark for the autobots."Prowl," he whispered quietly to himself, "Why couldn't we have found a better way?"Just then, a tussle brought him back to reality. Sari and bumblebee were having a mock battle with each other. When the autobots returned to Cybertron, they were hailed as heros. The high council thought it appropriate for such bots to have formal training. As a result, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Sari were admitted as honorary elite guard members. Optimus himself was granted full re-instatement upon a grant from Alpha Trion. The old bot seemed to like Optimus. Althougth prime couldn't understand why, Alpha Trion said he had more potential than he gave himself credit.As the comical brawl between mech and teen continued, Bulkhead and Ratchet entered the room."What's going on here?"

ReflectionsVal's pursuit led him to the foul beast's domain. The hollowed-out cavern reeked of blood and rancid meat. The dim light he had seen as he charged through the tunnel after the monster could now be identified: torches. Rows of mysteriously lit torches lined the walls of the huge cave. At its center was a substantially large labyrinth of mirrors.He spotted the beast entering.He spun his silver broadsword in his hand and hurried in behind it.His garb was a simple blue and white crusader's leather with thick armored pads and reinforcing steel studs. Lightweight and flexible, but quite effective defense against blunt blows and – in a pinch – the slashing claws of the unholy spawn of the earth. All monster-hunters wore a similar variety in Val's experience. It would serve him well in these close quarters of the mirrored maze.Right, left, forward, left, right he turned, always catching a glimpse of the beast's tail as he wove his way through the corridors.

Creeping, /krēp-,ing/, verb: urban deep water soloing
Kiell won't post this because he's got his hate on for "the Blue Cow," but I will. Granted this all looks rather contrived: bolting some holds to a bridge to give some nice jumpy jump-jumps for the Red Bull cameras -- it reminds me of that Tom Cruise desert tower scene. But who really cares? More importantly it looks like something I want to try. The more weird shit that Red Bull throws into the mainstream, the more publicly accepted this will all become. If that means one less phone call to the cops during a buildering outing then it's worth it. "Ohh you're CREEPING? Ya, ya, that's cool."

Buildering A Dream
Fifty years of misinterpreting architecture at the University of British Columbia
Photo: Glenn Woodsworth
Article originally published in Summer 2013 edition of Coast Mountain Culture magazine. Used with permission.
By: Dave Quinn
The Varsity Outdoors Club (VOC) at the University of British Columbia has long been the breeding ground of climbing inventiveness, creativity and tenacity. Big names, like Dick Culbert, Guy Edwards, Tim Auger and Hamish Mutch, all found companions in the VOC to help push the limits of what could be done in the mountains.
For the climbing fanatics, however, the mountains were painfully far away from campus. VOC members were often distracted by nuisances, such as studying and classes, and often the windows of opportunity were too short to work on new routes up the Squamish Chief or even to escape to Lighthouse Park for a sunset cragging session.

On The Roofs
On The Roofs author Vadim Makhorov in Hong Kong.
The rooftop: the great commonality between parkour, buildering, and urban exploration; yet each highlights a different aspect of the rooftop experience. For buildering, the rooftop is the destination. For parkour, the starting point. For urban exploration, the journey.
The ideal roof varies for each. With buildering, easy descent is paramount. The roof holds the biggest unknown of a climb: how to get down. The more solitary and monolithic a building, the more appealing a route is and the more important the question of descent becomes. For parkour, staggered features and proximity to other rooftops is key. A solitary rooftop may not be that interesting, but a link up of a dozen rooftops certainly is. In urban exploration, interesting, varied architecture is the goal. An exposed and beautiful setting is a plus.
Certainly overlap exists in the execution of the disciplines, and one can argue that you can't practice parkour or buildering without being an urban explorer. Likewise you can't be an urban explorer without some climbing ability. Yet, deservedly urban exploration stands alone as it's own "thing." Instead of...

Kiell's Trip to Vancouver
Grant cleaning a future project.
Kiell is off ending world hunger through Parkour or something, so he asked me to post these images for him. This was from his recent trip to Vancouver to shoot photos for an upcoming UBC buildering guidebook. This is the part where he'd write about his experiences, how amazing everything was, etc., but since he's not here I'll write it for him.
Vancouver is amazing. I was here a few years ago, but back then my brain failed to comprehend the vastness of amazingness that is Vancouver. The streets are paved with gold. Literally. Not the misused literally meaning...

Roof Culture
Storror don't make freerunning vids like anyone else. Whilst many teams and individuals are putting out films stacked full of gratuitous slow-motion walking ('look how amazing I am in my own head!') and heroic poses gazing off into sunsets, Storror's tone is quite different. Instead of a self-congratulatory, masturbatory interest in their own egos, their films convey pure experience.
Yes, this film is anti-social. Yes this film is not a useful portrayal of parkour. But christ does it make you want to climb buildings.
If you enjoy this, please be sure to check out Storror's Chaps On Tour USA which is also refreshingly devoid of swagger.

Honnold Talks Buildering and Better Insurance
Alex Honnold + buildings + Ira Glass sound-alike = why aren't you watching this already? Honnold climbs some things and talks about his upcoming Taipei 101 climb. Perhaps more interesting that an insurance company is promoting risky behaviour in an effort to convince people they need their product. Either they think nobody will follow Honnold's example, or the amount of revenue from new clients will outweigh losses from buildering related claims -- which is probably true and some Fight-Club-car-recall worthy bean counting right there. They've got a dedicated page on their website for Alex, it's actually pretty cool: https://www.stridehealth.com/alex. Hmm, if I wasn't Canadian I just might be interested.

UBC Buildering Guidebook -- Call For Climbers
Ard on Hebb Theatre Arete. 2014.
Something special in the world of buildering is happening over the next 10 days: Andy Day, professional photog from www.kiell.com and contributor to buildering.net is in town to shoot photos for a project we're working on, namely a print version of the UBC buildering guidebook. We're looking for climbers!
If you've ever buildered at UBC, or are a climber keen to do so, we'd love to see you.
Email me: firstname.lastname@example.com to set up a meet. We'll be off and on campus a lot, so any time day or night. Right now the weather is a bit crap, but if it's not actively raining it's good buildering time.

On monstrously popular cable-TV beast The Walking Dead, Norman Reedus plays Daryl Dixon, an expert zombie killer whose lack of social graces are made up for with his efficiency with a crossbow.
It's a stretch for Reedus, who tends to prefer painting or working on sculpture to taking out the undead. And, of course, expanding his musical horizons. When EW gave Reedus a call while he was deep in the heart of Georgia shooting the last episodes of the show's current season, and he talked about the ways that music not only helps him get into character, but also lets him dictate his mood wherever he might be.
Check out his selections below, and hear all the songs on our customized Spotify playlist.
The Black Angels, "The First Vietnamese War"
"I can't remember how I first got introduced to them, but when we first started this new season, I played that for our entire cast. I kept putting it on my iPod and passing it over to Andy [Lincoln] before shooting really violent, desperate scenes, and I was like, 'This song should be on the soundtrack to our show.' It's so heartfelt, and it sort of described what we were shooting at the time: Getting into that prison and what people had to go through. It really felt like us." READ FULL STORY

Show All the Metrics: Uncovering and Rewarding the Broad Impact of Research
Speaking – Heather Piwowar, ImpactStory
Ambitious scholars have been including a few metrics on their CVs for years, for example indicating that a paper was recommended by Faculty of 1000, received a "Highly Accessed" badge on a journal website or SSRN, or was widely discussed in the media. New tools are starting to make it easy to track traditional and alternative metrics (altmetrics) at a large scale; we can expect it will become common to include impact data on CVs in the future. In this talk we'll explore how this change will empower scholars and their publishing decisions, what opportunities and challenges exist for displaying and interpreting this data, what pitfalls we should avoid, and how libraries can help with the transition.

Thanks Liz.
Presenting at ER&L in March of 2014Posted: December 10, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Marie Kennedy and I got a presentation accepted for the ER&L Conference in Austin, TX.
"Walking the Walk: Starting Up and Cultivating Two Different Open Access Journals in LIS."
During this presentation you will hear from editors of two Open Access journals in library and information science. We will discuss lessons learned about marketing, financial support, and use of content from the older journal, Collaborative Librarianship, that have informed the development of the newer Journal of Creative Library Practice.
Abstract: The authors present an account of the founding, usage, marketing, and economic aspects for two different Open Access journals in the field of library and information science (LIS). The two journals that will be discussed are the Journal of Creative Library Practice (http://creativelibrarypractice.org/) and Collaborative Librarianship (http://www.collaborativelibrarianship.org/). The Journal of Creative Library Practice (JCLP) started in 2013 based on discussions held by the editors in 2012. The co-authors of the presentation are two of the five founding editors. JCLP uses WordPress as the platform, and the articles are licensed CC-BY. The editors use Google Analytics to monitor usage, and it has had over 13,000 pageviews. Twitter is the main platform for advertising new content. The budget of this journal is very small.
Collaborative Librarianship was founded in 2009 based on discussions held by the editors in 2007 and 2008. This journal uses a locally hosted OJS implementation at the server of a consortia, but there is discussion to have the journal hosted at OJS. The articles are licensed CC-BY-NC-SA. A variety of methods have been used to market the content. This journal has more financial support than JCLP. There have been over 150,000 article downloads from the journal server. Overall, Collaborative Librarianship has been around longer, and it has begun to establish a reputation, while the Journal of Creative Library Practice is a new entry to the LIS journal market. We hope that JCLP will grow and expand over time as more readers and prospective authors learn about the journal.
Going to the 2013 SLA Conference in San DiegoPosted: June 4, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Here is what I am going to be doing there. I also hope to hit the San Diego Zoo, maybe Tuesday morning.
Glad that the Academic Division is considering the formation of a Scholarly Communication Section. More news on that later.
Update: Yes, the SLA Board approved of the new Section. Yay.
Editor of the Journal of Creative Library PracticePosted: February 11, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
The new OA and CC-BY journal is starting to take shape. We published our first article today. I put in the AddThis widget, put in a link to our Twitter feed, and did some other minor editing changes.
[Edit on 2/21] Got some good write ups about the journal:

A Science Online Denver Watch Party ReportPosted: February 7, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: scio13, scioden Leave a comment
Over the weekend (February 2nd and 3rd), I was able to attend the Science Online Watch Party up at the NCAR Mesa Lab. I had a great time learning from the videos and meeting other scientists, science writers, librarians, and public information officers. I was able to take notes for one session, and I moderated another. Below are my notes for the "Helping scientists 'do' outreach" session.
Session 2A: Helping scientists 'do' outreach (part II)
Denver Watch Party discussion after we viewed the video.
What were the important take-aways?
One attendee liked the mention of Mike Brotherton and the science fiction writers workshop in Wyoming. http://www.mikebrotherton.com/ and http://www.launchpadworkshop.org/
This is funded by NASA. Wish there was something like this for bioscience. Does the NIH have a public outreach budget? (Maybe this, http://www.nih.gov/about/outreach.htm) How can we get more non-standard science writers interested.
Science pubs and science festivals
Big ones in the US are in New York and Washington DC. (http://www.worldsciencefestival.com/ and http://www.usasciencefestival.org/)
Colorado Springs has a science festival in October. The 2012 website is at http://www.csscp.org/csfestival2012/, and the 2013 Festival will be October 5-13, 2013.
Science Carnivals also happen on single days, such as this one, http://www.csscp.org/csfestival2012/index.php/festival-details/cool-science-carnival-day-at-uccs
With the festivals, there is a struggle to get more non-science people to attend. They are getting around 5,000 people to attend the festival in Colorado Springs. Have they saturated the market?
There is the Denver Science Cafe at the Wynkoop Brewery. http://cafescicolorado.org/
There are also Geek meetups in Denver. http://geeks.meetup.com/cities/us/co/denver/
Citizen science projects
NEON Citizen Science Academy
Project Budburst http://budburst.org/
at NOAA
Weather chasers use apps to report weather data.
With citizen science projects, organizations should do a small experiment to see what happens. NCAR had gotten a scientist to narrate an animation, and it has been well received by the public. The video is "Steroids, baseball, and climate change." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW3b8jSX7ec
This was a good experiment, but they do not have the capability to keep on pumping out more videos like that.
SOARS Project has been good. http://www.soars.ucar.edu/
Public Information Officers (PIO) do more than just talk to journalists. They try to figure out the best audience for the information.
NEON provides a lot of data, but some of the data scientists may struggle to interact with the public.
There was an interesting question posed during the session. Does one need to be a scientist to be a good science journalist? It is difficult to learn science journalism on the job. Most science journalists have a degree in science, but maybe not a Ph.D.
How can we get more scientists to understand the benefits of providing outreach to the public?
Many scientists have not taken up social media all that well. If scientists can see greater interactions with their papers with altmetrics, then they might see some benefit. If they see greater citations of their work through greater social media interaction, then that would be a positive benefit. One problem is that they have to go outside of their comfort zone. It is difficult to explain why they should blog or tweet about their research.
One attendee talked about a social media workshop that went on at the 2011 AGU conference. It was probably this session, "How to Network Workshop" at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2011/town-halls-and-workshops/workshops/
While it may be difficult to get a scientist to blog or tweet, they may give talks to local civic organizations like a Rotary club. One could videotape the presentation and put it up onto YouTube.
We should try to foster greater communication among various groups in the rocky mountain region, such as:
- http://co-labs.org/ This "is a consortium of federally funded scientific laboratories, universities, businesses, local governments, and community leaders organized to establish Colorado as a global leader in research, technology, and their commercialization."
- http://www.aaas-swarm.org/ The Southwestern and Rocky Mountain Division of the AAAS.
There are many other professional and scientific organizations in Colorado. Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO is provided as an example. It may be somewhat isolated in Southwestern Colorado, but it has a good science teaching reputation. A chemistry professor won an award in 2009. (http://www.fortlewis.edu/news/Home/News/tabid/7467/entryid/129/Roger-Peters-Distinguished-Professor-Award-Dr-Ron-Estler.aspx)
How will we know when we have landed with social media and scientists?
What is the larger conversation?
Are we trying to reinvent the wheel in Colorado?
It is difficult to get scientists to open up to the public, since they may want to be secretive with their work. They do not want to be scooped.

The Cowboys have filled their roster with the 53rd player on Tuesday, acquiring rookie linebacker/defensive end Caesar Rayford from the Colts.
The Cowboys have sent an undisclosed draft pick to Indy in exchange for the undrafted rookie, who started out with the Redskins before joining the Colts in May. Rayford (6-7, 267) made their roster, only to be sent to the Cowboys three days later.
Rayford had five sacks for the Colts, not only leading the team, but all NFL players in the preseason.
He's considered a rangy player with long arms. Rayford ran a 4.56 in the 40 coming out of college at the Univ. of Washington. He's also shown the ability to block kicks.
Rayford also played for the British Columbia Lions of the CFL and Spokane Shock and the Utah Blaze of the Arena League.
Rayford, 27, fills out the roster after the Cowboys had an empty spot after trading veteran tight end Dante Rosario. This is the fourth trade the Cowboys have made since Saturday. They've acquired
The trade might suggest the Cowboys are not that confident in
Currently, the Cowboys are prepared to play

Travis Lyle Diener (born March 1, 1982 in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin) is an American professional basketball player for the NBA's Indiana Pacers.
Diener played collegiately at Marquette University, and was a member of the Golden Eagles team that reached the NCAA Tournament Final Four in 2003. That Golden Eagles team had three future NBA players, including Diener, Dwyane Wade and Steve Novak.
Following his college career at Marquette, he was a second-round draft choice (38th overall) of the Orlando Magic in the 2005 NBA Draft. His selection by the Magic mystified some critics, who argued that the team was overloading on point guards, already having Steve Francis and Jameer Nelson on their roster.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I can't get over how much we love our save the dates! We used the purple templet. It was a perfect match to our wedding colors. We changed the font to a cursive style and used a black and white picture with the antique filter. It all goes together perfectly! I would definitely recommend making the size of the font bigger, I read this in other reviews and the font on the back would have been very hard to read. The paper used is very good quality. Everything about the printing is perfect, there are no flaws. We cannot wait to get them sent out!"
"I ordered this dance invite with a few changes that were easily implemented. The proof was back for review within a few hours and my change was done ASAP. My invited arrived 6 days after ordering, I did use the rush service but was still impressed with how fast they arrived. The quality of the photograph on the front of the invite was excellent and the postcard style last lots of room on the back for details and info. Will definitely be ordering my thank you's from wedding paper divas!!!"
"These save the dates are really amazing! Everyone loved them and we constantly had people complementing! Its not easy to find a classy post card, but this one definitely is!"
"This card looks beautiful with our engagement picture as the focal point. Great quality printing on sturdy paper, just as I imagined it! Ordered invitation samples because I was so pleased with the fast service and shipping on the Save the Dates. :)"
"These save the date turned out BEAUTIFUL! They're perfect and EXACTLY what my fiancé and I wanted. We wanted something classic and simple. We ordered them in red & the red matches all of our wedding stuff perfectly. We had our sample to review quickly, and they arrived in the mail quickly too! I would highly recommend these save the dates!"

Television Ads To Video SEO – The Comcast-Mixpo Partnership
Mixpo, an online video advertising company for small-to-medium businesses and Comcast Spotlight, the advertising sales division for Comcast cable, yesterday announced the their partnership allowing Comcast Spotlight to turn clients' existing on-air video advertising assets to online video ads, using the Mixpo video publishing platform. Grant Crowell interviews Mixpo's Marketing Director Glen Pingul on the expanded opportunities for small and mid-size advertisers, and bringing sales reps up to speed on video these new opportunities.
Businesses that create televsion spots with Comcast Spotlight will now be able to repurpose those ads for the Web through Mixpo's online video platform, which includes video SEO features such as unique landing pages with keyword tagging, submission to search engines and video sharing sites, performance tracking and reporting, and multivariate testing.
The ads will run throughout the Comcast network of sites, which will give SMBs access to more than 14.6 million high-speed Internet subscribers; plus, Vehix.com, a leading automotive portal owned by Comcast.

Barnes & Noble will divide itself into two companies, one dedicated to the tanking Nook hardware business and the other the more profitable —but still struggling— brick-and-mortar book-retail…
Interesting. It's really hard to tell what's going to happen with B&N. I'm so afraid it's going to go the way of Borders.
"PG says spending 18 months unsuccessfully trying to split Nook from the bookstores, then deciding to stay together, then deciding again to split up doesn't portend a sunny future for Barnes & Noble.
PG suspects that Nook has already suffered a significant brain drain. This news will send even more talented employees out the door."
B&N dug their own grave. I have no sympathy for them even as I sell my books through their platform. They brought this on themselves.
Salvatore Antonelli, a disgraced ex-bishop, and Benito Castillo, a young tech-priest fresh out of Seminary, are tasked by the Vatican to confront DAMON-1, a nuclear capable AI that claims to be Satan incarnate, returned to the physical world to bring about Armageddon.
The two clergy must battle to restore DAMON and purge Satan from the enslaved AI's core. The bishop is forced to play a deadly game with billions of lives in the balance, while the young priest must confront Satan's digital persona within the network.
The eternal conflict between good and evil, fought in the space between time, brings humanity and their AI creations to the dawn of a new age, and to the brink of annihilation.

Seriously. I don't care about your fucking rights, I just want to buy some dad jeans and maybe a tub of frosted animal crackers without having to worry about your casually slung assault rifle going off and the bullet ricocheting off the price checker and right into my ass. Thanks but no thanks.
This can not be real
but think about it if it was armed black people or hispanic people. They would be considered "thugs" and "criminals". If it was a group of people from the middle east they would be terrorists, But because it's like 800 different shades of mayo they're using their 2nd amendment rights…smdh.
I don't think it would be in the best interest of any poc, ESPECIALLY black people, to do what this woman in the photo is doing. We would be killed so quick. The police already hate us to the point where they have killed and continue to either beat, kill, torture, and discriminate against us. The 2nd Amendment only applies to white people as far as I'm concerned.

Hulu breaks into top 3 US video sites
Hulu continues its rapid ascent up the video charts, cracking the top three online video sites in the U.S. for the first time in March.
Some 380 million videos were viewed on Hulu.com, up 14.3 percent from February, according to market research firm comScore.
That allowed the NBC Universal and News Corp joint venture to steal the No.3 spot from Yahoo, whose total number of videos viewed in March actually declined by roughly 5 percent from February. Hulu held a 2.6 percent share of the 14.5 billion videos viewed in the U.S. last month.
Hulu has seen its popularity grow following TV ads that ran during the Super Bowl in January. In December, it was the No.7 ranked video site in the U.S.
Impressive as Hulu's growth has been, the site is still not even in the same universe as YouTube, owned by Google. Google remained the No.1 video site in March, according to comScore, with 5.9 billion videos viewed, for a 40.9 percent market share.
Fox Interactive Media, owner of MySpace, held on to its spot as the No.2 place for online vids, although its market share shrank from 3.5 percent in February to 3 percent in March.
