I can't wait I have bought this dress online and it was delivered 2 days earlier than the set date which was GREAT ... I shipped it to my cousin's place in the USA , they will arrive after 40 days .. I can't wait to put it on .. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH am very worried about the size ... did u go for one size bigger ? or did u buy the exact size ? August 8, 2012
Alterations I recently purchased this dress, and fell in love with it. It is classy and gives a great feel. I was curious if the other brides that purchased the dress had it altered at the store or elsewhere? And, what the alteration difficulty was for you all? Thanks! July 19, 2012
Perfection! I knew I wanted a lace mermaid gown, but beyond that I was pretty lost when shopping for my dress. I originally had skipped all of the Oleg Cassini dresses because they seemed a little too ornate for my taste. After being pretty disappointed with all of the dresses I pulled my consultant suggested I try this one as well as a few others just to test the waters. I put it on and instantly loved the way it fit. I left my first appointment empty handed - I'm extremely indecisive and needed to try on more dresses. After trying on about 20+ more dresses, none lived up to the way this one made me look and feel. Two months after originally trying it on I bought it along with a beautiful lace trim veil. I can't wait to wear it on our big day! July 14, 2012
Gorgeous dress I did not like this dress on the hanger. When the consultant brought it to me I thought she brought me the wrong one but when I tried it on it fit so well. The dress is very comfortable. A bit of advice is to get a good alterations place to alter the dress. I think it needs to be very tight fitting and I had pads sewed into the bust part. I did not add another layer of petticoat underneath, I think that would have caused it to look too mermaid-ish. I think the value of the dress is great. July 3, 2012

Washington—In running a successful national campaign, Barack Obama laid down guidelines that came to be seen as hallmarks of his leadership style. He prizes loyalty, discretion, teamwork and selflessness, say those who have worked with him.
But as he shapes a new administration, the president-elect is dealing with a more complex challenge and a different set of needs.
"Governing is different from campaigning, and running a White House is different from running a campaign," said Steve Elmendorf, deputy campaign manager for 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry.
Obama made his first major appointment yesterday, naming Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Chicago as chief of staff, a pivotal position in any White House. In a statement, Obama described his new top aide as a "good friend" who "understands how to get things done in Washington."
Emanuel, who turns 49 this month, was a senior White House staff member under Bill Clinton and ranks fourth in the House Democratic leadership.
He has a well-earned reputation as a political street fighter, a trait which appears to violate one of the best-known elements of the Obama style.
The president-elect displays a "penchant for a conflict-free environment. They called it a no-drama environment," said Ronald Walters, a government professor at the University of Maryland. "I'm surprised. [Emanuel] is the antithesis of a lot of this."
But Elmendorf said Emanuel was well-suited to bridge the policy, political and communications arms of the administration and make sure the government stays true to the goals of the campaign.
Martha Kumar, a Towson University political scientist, said a chief of staff needs to enforce discipline on the president's behalf.
"That's particularly important if you have a lot of people going in different directions, and you want to make sure you are coordinated in purpose and in timing of what's going on," she said.
A clue to the way Obama hopes to govern, she said, came from a private remark picked up by a network TV microphone last summer.
Obama told a British politician he wanted to avoid getting bogged down in details, because "if what you're trying to do is micromanage and solve everything, then you end up being a dilettante."
He said it was important to stay focused on the big picture, "but you have to have enough knowledge to make good judgments about the choices that are presented to you."
Obama has a reputation for listening carefully to others in meetings and prodding them for answers, but keeping his opinions to himself. Some have wondered whether a desire to air all sides of an issue could turn the Obama White House into the home of interminable policy debates and delayed decisions, like the early Clinton administration.
Obama also has promised to make Washington more transparent, which could play an important role in the way he governs.
One of his initiatives as a senator, in partnership with conservative Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, was a measure to make federal contracts searchable online. During the primaries, he said that, as president, he would negotiate a health-care overhaul plan in public and televise the event on C-SPAN.
His commitment to transparency has been questioned, however. Critics attacked his campaign's refusal to reveal the names of donors who gave less than $200. The law doesn't require it, but his opponent, John McCain, put all of his donors' names online.
Another campaign trademark Obama will try to carry into office: a strong desire for control.
To keep a tight grip on his message, he discouraged outside organizations from running advertising campaigns on his behalf. The press corps that covered his two-year journey to the White House got less access to Obama than any presidential contender in living memory, which made journalists unhappy but may have reduced the risk of unflattering publicity.

* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.
~ - open up console (enable through the options)
O - quick quality adjust.
Esc/P - pause game.
Version history:
The game really is heavy on levels 30 and up. We did our best to optimize it, but if you still have a low frame rate simply change your quality and effect settings.
If you find any bugs, please report.
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 2, 2007
I love this game
Playing... Just on level 32 tho. It's excellent... I love it. So... It deserves a 10/10 for graphics, music, and that all.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars December 2, 2007
Pretty great game, some flaws.
Only complain is that sometimes you could not shoot a portal where one should be easily placed compared to others.
Also sometimes my character would warp through walls, or in the case on the 37th stage I got teleported to the beginning when I went through the exit.
Other than that I loved it, it is one of the only Flash games I ever actually played through and came back to on a regular basis.
Thanks for a great game.
Rated 4 / 5 stars December 1, 2007
Pretty darn good...
Really my only complaint with this game was the energy balls; some levels required coordination beyond my skill level. However, the ability to close both portals was a great addition; something I wish the real Portal game had. Also, nice addition of cheats. I tried to use the same cheats for Portal and they didn't work ;) Sound effects were good. I did notice the occasional bug, but didn't seem to be too adversely affected by them.
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 1, 2007
Dude. It. Owns.
Nuff said
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars December 1, 2007
Very awesome!
I'd well like to play the actual version, but I probobly never will, so I was very happy to see this on here.
I managed to completely finish it earlier, great fun ^_^ Mmm, cake.
Although, I did totally abuse some glitches I found XD Y'know when you get the feeling you've accomplished something the wrong way? For example, when the power orb things are going inbetween two portals I found I could trap it in a wall briefly by getting rid of both the portals as the orb was half way through. Another glitch I found was on the last level, when I ran through the door it teleported me back to the beginning haha.
Anyway, kudos to the flash genius' that made it all =]

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Wow, I look at this site every day and the last thing I expected to see this morning was my very own guild in the first story.
So after reading the comments thought I should clear up a few things. Firstly, we're an Australian based guild on a US server so the arena queue times are OUTRAGEOUSLY long when we play. 5v5 queues can go up to an hour so you'll end up against just whoever happens to queue up at the same time. So of course if they finish a game at the same time, they're going to queue at the same time and probably end up versing each other. In my own arena team (2v2's) I've ended up versing the same team for 10 games in a row with huge gear and rating differences simply because there aren't many teams at that time.
While I wasn't one of the ones banned because I don't arena with guildies, everyone, including every single one of the players banned, were shocked by this decision by Blizzard. Particularly because we're a PvE raiding guild, no ones ratings are particularly high anyway, and they only versed each other on the one night, a handful of games, and there were no warnings or questions asked by Blizzard before such a harsh decision was made.

AT&T: 15 Mbps Internet connections "irrelevant"
3/31/2006 10:07:50 AM, by Nate Anderson
At this week's Media, Entertainment and Telecommunications conference,
AT&T COO Randall Stephenson told his listeners that increased
bandwidth was no longer of great importance to consumers.
"In the foreseeable future, having a 15 Mbps Internet capability
is irrelevant because the backbone doesn't transport at those
speeds," he told the conference attendees. Stephenson said that
AT&T's field tests have shown "no discernable difference" between
AT&T's 1.5 Mbps service and Comcast's 6 Mbps because the problem
is not in the last mile but in the backbone.
Certainly this is true for general web browsing, which rarely taxes
the speed of even a slow DSL connection, but it seems like bandwidth
would be crucial for next-generation applications such as IPTV that
the telcos soon hope to provide. Right? Not according to Stephenson,
who points out that bandwidth is of less importance to IPTV setups
because of the switched nature of the system. Generally, only a couple
of channels are transmitted at one time, and this does not change no
matter how many total channels are offered to the consumer (see our
overview of IPTV for more information on how this works).
In terms of Lightspeed's ability to push through hundreds of video
channels, including high-def video, "we're not constrained by
bandwidth. You're not constrained by the size of the pipe
anymore," Stephenson said, referring to the switched-video
capacity of the network which delivers only one service to a
single customer at a time.
This is a direct response to the criticism that AT&T has suffered for
deploying a fiber optic network that reaches only to the local node,
not directly into a customer's home—which means that the "last mile"
connection is still copper wire. Verizon, by contrast, is deploying
fiber directly into the home, making for much higher speeds. AT&T
argues that its model is cheaper, faster to deploy, and just as
capable as Verizon's, which currently uses much of its massive
bandwidth to distribute RF TV channels.
Pressures on satellite
In related television news, it looks like the squeeze play is underway
against the satellite industry. The telcos, such as AT&T, have
generally partnered with a satellite company in order to offer
television service. Now that they're getting into the game themselves,
these partnerships are dying. Pressure is also coming from the cable
companies, which are getting onboard with Cablevision's plan to move
the DVR into the headend. This will cut costs for the cable companies,
who no longer have to send out trucks to install, troubleshoot, and
repair DVRs in homes, but it's a move that satellite operators can't
He [Comcast COO Stephen Burke] said a network recording service
would help cable companies compete against satellite TV operators
such as DirecTV and EchoStar, which cannot cut the cost of the DVR
box out of their pricing structure.
This kind of pressure from the cable companies, combined with the
price war which could ensue between cable operators and the telcos,
will certainly make it harder for satellite to compete over the next
few years. Whether they can carve out a niche and remain a viable
proposition remains to be seen, though it should be noted that
satellite is not sitting still waiting for the axe to fall. DirecTV,
for instance, has been pondering plans to roll out broadband services
of its own, and satellite can still claim to offer a higher-quality
picture than cable (in most cases). IPTV, though it could spark a
price war with both services, won't be coming to most cities for some
time, so satellite should have a few years of breathing room before
the squeeze is on in earnest.

It was raining when I woke up. Usual day for me. But I was hoping for sun. I mean they do get sun in New Hampshire right? I can only hope! I threw the covers off of me and sat on the edge of my large bed. I sighed. School. New school. And Jacob was going to be a Jouinor, since he was much taller then me. I hated being short for this reason. I laughed at myself. I hopped off my bed and walked across the room to my closet. I didnt want to over do it on my first day so I put on a pair of distressed skinnys. And my favorite shirt, it was a black and white silk shirt, that hung on one shouldar and the other side fell to the side, down my arm a little. I dung through my suitcases til I found my black boots.
On the way out of my room I picked my old messenger bag off the floor and left to go eat. One problem was, I had no idea where the kitchen was! I smelt eggs, so I just followed the smell. I walked down the grand staircase, then left. There was a dinning from. Off of the dinning room was what looked like a sitting room. I walked through the dinng room and found the kitchen.
"Morning, Mom!" I said. Jacob was sitting at the breakfast bar, I sat down next to him. "Morning," I said. He smiled.
"Hurry and eat. You can take my car to school." Mom offered. What a great way to start school! Showing up in a $200,000 dollar car. Yeah, people wont think I'm a stuck-up rich kid! Well, I am. I guess.
"Renesmee, people wont think that." Dad said from the other room. I sighed. I ate quick and put my plate in the sink. I looked at Jake. "Ready?" I asked. He nodded.
We went out to the entrance and outside. It was still wet and rainy. So I slipped my coat on. My white trench coat fit in with the town hopfully. It only took us a few minutes to drive to the school, so we were early.
"Are you ok?" Jacob asked me.
I was looking out the window at the massive school. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"I can change my schlude. You know jouinors and sofmores share classes?"
"No, its fine. Really. I'll see you at lunch." I said. I grabbed my bag and got out of the car. People looked at me as I got out. Mouth wide opened. Oh, god.
I kept my head down, and hurried into the building. My first class was just down the hall. I stopped at my locker and put my coat in it, I took my phone out and set on the top shelf. I closed my locker and headed to my homeroom. Its ok, I thought, there not looking at you. What was I thinking! Of course they are.
I'm the new pale, bronze-curled hair, rides in a Farrieh, rich girl. Whats not to look at? I wasnt late to class at least. I handed the teacher my pass. He looked at it then handed it back.
"Okay, everyone! Take a seat!" the teacher ordered. Once everyone was sitting he wrote his name on the board. Mr. Labart. "Everyone, we have a new student. Miss Renesmee Cullen." he pointed to me.
I put my elbow on the desk and half rasied my arm, and wiggled my hand. Mr. Labart starting talking about an assembly when were going to have today, then the bell rang. I picked my bag up and headed to the door. My first period was upstairs. As I was going up the steps, I heard my name. I turned to see a brown-haired, tall masuline guy.
"It is Renesmee, right?" he asked.
I smiled. "Yes, it is. But people call me Nessie more then Renesmee."
"Okay, Nessie it is. My name's Darin." he held his hand out. I shook his hand. He was human."Wheres your next class?"
"Upstairs. I have science." I told him.
"Me too. I'll show you the way."he smiled at me. His teeth were like pearls.
So I fired back with my dazzling, perfect smile.
"So where did you move from?" he asked me.
"Forks, Washington." I told him.
"Never heard of Forks."
"Its a very small town. Not many people even know its there."
"Well, thats pretty cool. A remote little town."
"Pretty much."
He laughed at me. "Where do you live?"
"Ummm, my house isnt techincally in a neighborhood at all."
"Ah, I see. Thats still pretty cool."
"Yeah. Lots of privacy."
"What do your parents do?"
Umm, I dont know! College? No, I cant say that. He'll think my parents are bad people. Oh think Renesmee!!
"They work at Dartmouth. Professorers." I said.
"Sweet. Here's science. Mrs. Daya is really nice." he told me, "You can sit with me if you want to."
I smiled, "Thanks."
Inside the class room I handed Mrs. Daya my pass and sat with Darin. Science was slow. But the rest of the day was pretty fast. I couldnt believe it was lunch already. Darin suggeseted I sit with him. But I let him down easy, by simply saying I had plays to eat with a friend. He looked awfully confused but said, "Maybe tomorrow."
I saw Jacob sitting with a lot of people. They looked like the popular crowd. Nice Jake, real nice. I smiled. I walked over to the table. "Nessie!" Jacob say.
"Hey, Jake." I said.
He took my tray and set it down on the table. We sat down, everyone was looking at me. Like I was something that was either horribly ugly or amazingly gorgeous. I liked the second one more. After lunch, I had two more classed then home! Those classes were boring and I knew most of the stuff.
I went to my locker at the end of the day and grabbed my coat. I saw Darin walking towards me, I smiled and waved.
"Nessie, I wanted to ask you something. I'm having a party this weekend and I wanted yout to come." he explained.
"Sounds fun!" I said. I pulled out my coat and put it on.
"So you'll come?!"
"Sure, why not."
"Cool, I'll text you later. Bye,"
I meet Jacob at the car. He looked like he was in a good mood. We drove home in silence. No one was home so I just went to my room and started homework. After I finished my homework, I fell asleep.

Por Dr. David Ray Griffin, en Global Research, el 17 de agosto de 2012
Global Research Editor's Note
As September approaches, we are reminded that the anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11 will soon be upon us once again. 11 years laters, are we any closer to the truth about what really happened on that fateful day?
For the next month until September 11, 2012, we will be posting on a daily basis important articles from our early archives pertaining to the tragic events of 9/11.
"The official theory about the Twin Towers is that they collapsed because of the combined effect of the impact of the airplanes and the resulting fire.
The following text by Professor David Ray Griffin, originally published on Global Research in January 2006, forecefully refutes the official narrative.

Got into regina around 6 Thurs night. and got to the casino about 7. First thing I did was head to the show lounge and sign up for a satellite for either of the two event, played a $110 for saturdays $1K tournament, and went heads up and won about 6 straight hands of heads up. finally the other guy had about 400 more than me, and we talked out a deal, and I got the seat (I paid him for it, so now I am playing in saturdays tournement. played a couple $60 satellites for fridays touranament, and the best I did was 3rd. Went and had supper with a few buddies, and got a free meal, as I didn't lose the the flip for the bill. :) THen played 2/5NL, sat down with 250, and built it up to almost 500 (without having to show my cards once) finally someone called me on the river (with 4 diamonds out there, and I had the King of diamonds) but the most interesting hand of the night.....
still at 2/5, UTG makes it 15, a couple callers, I call on the button with KcQc, SB calls, BB folds. flop: Kd 10d Xx. checks to me on the button, I bet 25, SB (who has the table covered with about 1200) raises to 75 (first hand I put him on is flush draw), everyone folds, I call. turn Ad, he thinks and plays with his chips, and checks, I check. river is Qd, he checks after about 10 or so seconds, and I check, flipping over 2 pair, he flips over QsJd. Ya, he checked the royal on the river. Was he really expecting a bet out of me? THen while he is stacking his chips he calls his buddy to tell him that he hit a royal, I should have said to him that he should tell his buddy what he did on the river.
Finally got some of a craps fix taken care of before I left the casino.
Now off to the casino for the $500 freezeout, I'll post updates when I get back (after winning)! Gotta think positive.

Some of the top touring comics come home for the holidays! There are some of the other comics who can't stray far from home due to a court mandated ankle monitor that they are forced to wear. This is by and large one of our most popular yearly shows, coming in only second to our regular Comics Please Go Away show in January.
On the bill is the incredibly funny Jesse Nutt, who has perfected the angry black man persona so well, he makes Paul Mooney seem downright cuddly. Chris Speyrer is a nationally touring act who also owns a comedy club in a rural Illinois town that is so small, it's amazing that Stephen King hasn't even written a book about it yet. John Kirby will be there, doing his impression of W.C. Fields as a used car salesman…not intentionally mind you. There will also be the very funny Kenny Smith, back from L.A., transplanted into the role of a suburbanite. Raymond Jackson will grace the stage with his humorous descriptions of everyday life and observations of the world…if he can quit playing video games on his phone long enough. There is also Kenny Carpenter, who is literally half the comedian he once was after losing an impressive amount of weight, but still just as funny. There is also Jeremy Johnson, the Gentile of Genitalia…'nuff said. Nate Washington rounds out the bill with his hilarious take on just about everything, from pop culture to day to day observations. Rob Haney will also be there, but there's not much we can do about that since he owns the club. As usual, there will be some drop in guests, enticed by the yearning to make people laugh…and free booze we promised them.
Wednesday November 27th, 2013 at 8:00pm with a admission of $5.00. Call (937) 224-5653 to make reservations now!

Districts industriels : du concept à l'histoire. Les termes du débat
AbstractDuring the 70?s, the outstanding achievement of the ?Third Italy? led to the rehabilitation of the Marshallian concept of industrial district and to a growing number of studies on the productive system whose development can be mostly explained by the geographical concentration of activities. At first an exclusive sociologists? and economists? concern, it gradually became the concern of other social sciences, among which History. However promising and stimulating this approach may be, it remains sketchy and blurred, and History hasn?t been able to play its part fully yet because the shift from concept to history raises a number of theoretical, methodological and empirical issues. This article aims at clarifying the contents of the concept, depicting how it was elaborated and how it expanded, and to ponder on its usefulness to historical research.

THG Presents: The Best Celebrity Feuds of 2010by Free Britney at . Comments
There's nothing like a good celebrity feud.
Sure, we all go through bad breakups, say things we wish we could take back and argue with others, but when the stars do it, it's so much more interesting!
As the year winds down, we've examined 2010's top celebrity mistresses and sex tapes. Now, THG takes a look at the year's 10 best celebrity spats here ...
10. Brett Favre vs. Jenn Sterger
In a classic he said/she said deal, a former Jets reporter alleged sexual harassment by the NFL legend, who says he was just hollering. Perhaps. Some say the biggest crime was thinking Brett Favre's small junk was going to impress somebody.
9. Sarah Palin vs. PETA
We'd rank Sarah Palin higher, but public wars of words lose some of their edge when you go out of your way to start them. Still, her exchange with PETA over hunting was classic. Bristol Palin and Willow Palin had some good ones, too.
8. Kid Rock vs. Steven Tyler
The former called the latter's hiring by American Idol "the stupidest thing he's ever done in his life" and termed him "an idiot" for good measure. The Aerosmith rocker responded that Kid is "just jealous." Not sure about that one, Steve.7. (tie) Lindsay Lohan and/or Charlie Sheen vs. Sobriety
This one could spill over into 2011 and beyond.
The latest, but likely not the last Lohan and Sheen mug shots.
6. Bill O'Reilly vs. Jennifer Aniston
Controversial as he is, Bill actually argues his views with concise, well-reasoned points. Mostly. When he called Jennifer Aniston "destructive to society" for wanting a baby as a single mother IN A MOVIE, though? Not his finest hour.
5. John Mayer vs. Jessica Simpson
Douchebag dates hot girl. Douchebag breaks up with hot girl. Douchebag goes on and on in a Playboy interview about nailing hot girl, likening her to a crack addiction and terming her "sexual napalm." Standard relationship progression.
4. Rick Sanchez vs. Jon Stewart
CNN anchor Sanchez whined about being the victim of a media conspiracy, calling Stewart a "bigot" ... just because! His dual penance for not knowing that word's definition? Getting fired and getting eviscerated on air by Stewart.
3. Kanye West vs. Matt Lauer/George W. Bush/Sanity
In 2005, Kanye said Dubya "doesn't care about black people" in the wake of Katrina. This year, Bush's book and his "disgust" for West brought the dispute back to the forefront. They made up (sorta), but then Kanye became bitter at Matt Lauer.
If there's been an uglier split than this, we haven't seen it.
2. Mel Gibson vs. Oksana Grigorieva
"Feud" doesn't really do this one justice. Mel and his estranged baby mama are the subject of THREE police probes - over her alleged extortion, his alleged domestic violence, and their daughter's custody. And her taped Mel Gibson rants ... wow.
1. Chelsea Handler vs. Angelina Jolie
When a talk show host calls an A-lister the c-word, then not only doesn't take it back, but says even more succinctly that she's not a fan, that's gotta take the cake.
What was your favorite celebrity feud of 2010?
Keep up the good work Bill. I am 70 and have listen to your show for a long time. some are just there to fill in the blanks but most are good reporters. I think we need a change in the histery about Vet Nam!!!
chelsea needs to stop hating because she is an ugly bitch and leave my angie alone! she is a hater - so let her hate - and notice that angie has not even told her a thing... so who looks bad now ??? i stopped looking at her show simply because i could not imagine why ms handler would spew such venom at someone she doesnt know personally ... shows her character as exactly what it is.
I do not understand why Chelsea Handler would apologize for her opinion and comments to address of A. Jolie?! She just expressed her feelings and her opinion(what is truthfull). Is not she in the land of freedom?
daang kayne west is always in arguements with famous people.
@ Free Britney, Even though,the #1 feud was determined to be between Chelsea and Angelina,Chelsea Handler ended up with the egg on her face.
With the rest of the celebrity line up,there were comments regarding the other person's loose lips. Angelina Jolie remains awesome, there are no indications that she addressed Chelsea's tirade and low class behavior. It takes 1 to create an argument,and 2 to cause a feud. Angelina Jolie *did not become a participant in Chelsea Handler's mouth-almighty disgrace,
which ended up saying more about Chelsea Handler than it ever did about Angelina Jolie. PEACE!!
Shout out to Michaela Salahi of The Real Housewives for staying calm while Whoopie freaked out and to Bill O'Reilly for doing the same. When a host has to walk off her own show in an interview , that says it all to America. Barbara Walters was right to say she was embarrassed her co-hosts did that.
Hosts shouldn't panic like that .
Ok. Before I get caught for typing 'loose' in lieu of 'lose' in my last post, I just get easily confused when commenting about this family. Both words apply in so many ways with that Klan!!!
I find it refreshing that no Kardashian made this list. One must assume that their feuds are fake and scripted. The reason i'm bringing up this family is that THG has gone over 72 hrs. without posting a story about them. You know they are gonna be peeved and are plotting something. Keep up the good work THG. Let's see how long it takes one of them to loose it.
For clarification purposes:
Sean Penn was the *one who had been in Haiti as an Activist for 6 Month helping out with the destruction from the Earthquake.In all that time,Wyclef was nowhere around,until he showed up and decided that he wanted the title of President of Haiti. Signing off!!!

Gustie Green
This is being sent to both Fay C. Leonard and John & Retta Waggoner.
Then you guys surveyed and photoed the West Cemetery, did you run into the owners or did you discover who might have the records for the cemetery?
William R. Gustie Green son of Abraham Lincoln S. Green son of Thaddeus F. Green
is burred there with a stone, as is Eliza Linton Armistead Green.
I bet that Abraham and Thaddeus are also buried there but without markers.
Something I would like to track down.
Just a FYI on the stone:
Son of
A.L.S. Green -> Abraham Lincoln Scire Green
A.L.S. -> Assie L. ?

The worst thing was the awkwardness I always felt being not quite sure which dream to follow or who I really was at that age.
The best thing was the freedom to explore with no burdens and some well earned trust from my parents.

Abstract Algebra

i have come across this thing Reimann Zeta function once in my Complex number course...okay i try to see what was it..

To me it seems that the essence of abstract algebra is the study of structure for its own sake. While most of mathematics makes use of algebra in some way or another, the algebra is thought to represent specific, concrete objects and operations on those objects (i.e. integers, vectors, matrices, tensors, etc...).
However, abstract algebra studies the inherent structures of these operations on sets without regard for the particulars of representations or physical manifestations of such structures. As such, it allows us to focus on structure abstractly which sometimes leads to surprising results when we can establish correspondences between the structures of seemingly very different systems or representations. I would say perhaps the most fundamental concept of all in abstract algebra is that of ISOMORPHISM.
It is often the case that certain systems or representations of systems reveal certain structures more clearly to our minds than others. For example, the complex numbers under multiplication exhibit the exact same structure as the group of scalings and rotations of vectors on the plane under composition. Complex numbers are easier to work with symbolically but scalings and rotations on the plane are easier to visualize. Establishing an isomorphism between these two systems allows us to freely move back and forth between them giving us the best of both worlds.
For more intricate systems there could potentially be many useful representations or ways to visualize them. Abstract algebra allows us to not only move between representations - it also often allows us to construct entirely new representations to highlight certain aspects of a system's structure or to focus on specific substructures of interest.
Also, by establishing general results for abstract structures we can immediately apply these results to all problems exhibiting similar structure rather than having to prove them for each system separately.

i agree with what was just said, but not with the remarks that abstract algebra was conceived without applications in mind. this disagrees with what little i know about the origins of abstract methods in algebra by hilbert and his student emmy noether.
hilbert was trying to deal with concrete questions in invariant theory when he developed abstract methods of reasoning about polynomial rings. Noether extended this study to what are now called "noetherian rings", and applied abstract methods to study also homology groups of manifolds, possibly in an attempt to make more precise and invariant, the study of manifolds in topology.
homology theory in topology had originally been a combinatorial theory that had trouble being proved a homeomorphism invariant. Apparently until Noether, homology groups were originally just numerical invariants, torsion numbers and ranks.
abstract algebra also got a boost from emmy noether's father, max noether, who translated riemann's ideas on riemann surfaces in complex analysis into pure algebra, along with brill, to render the theory independent of some foundations of real analysis (dirichlet's principle) which had not yet been provided. hilbert also provided these by the way.
van der waerden and emil artin and zariski and serre and grothendieck continued the development of abstract algebra to provide foundations for algebraic geometry, and render into algebra more tools from analysis, such as sheaf theory and its cohomology. serre's great paper GAGA is a monumental work translating analytic geometry into algebraic geometry and vice versa.
grothendieck and others showed how to use algebra to translate over into algebraic geometry basic concepts of differential topology like chern classes, and provided an abstract generalized riemann roch theorem, first proved by hirzebruch on complex manifolds using cobordism theory from topology.
abstract algebra methods also allow the study of singular spaces on the same footing with smooth spaces and manifolds, originally preferred in topology and differential geometry. this leads to a theory of degenerate varieties, a marriage of algebraic and topological singularity theory, and geometric compactifications of moduli spaces.
so in my opinion abstract algebra was developed as a means to avoid the highly tedious computations in classical algebra that had become unmanageable, as well as questionable foundations in analysis. then it continued as a way to bring the power of calculus and analysis and topology to bear on algebra and number theory, and algebraic geometry, via sheaf cohomology.
with the swing back in computing power, computational algebra is again in vogue. the foundations of analysis have also been rendered more sound, and algebra and analysis now cooperate ever more fully.

Panthers' tackle Gross to retire
Charlotte, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Jordan Gross is expected to announce his retirement.
According to the club's website, Gross will make it official at a press conference Wednesday.
Gross was selected by Carolina with the eighth overall choice of the 2003 draft and played his entire 11-year career for the Panthers. He started all 167 games he played and was a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
The 33-year-old Utah product started all 16 games last season, helping the Panthers to the NFC South title. He also earned his final Pro Bowl nod.
Gross started all 16 games in a season eight times during his career. He had his 2009 campaign cut short after nine games because of a broken ankle and missed one game in each of the 2008 and 2011 seasons.

A child life specialist is a certified professional who uses developmental, educational and therapeutic interventions to help children cope with illness and hospitalization. Our child life specialist uses her knowledge of child development to educate, prepare and support children during the adult's hospital stay.
The hospital chaplains are trained to interact with people of any faith. The chaplain strives to allow the individual's own faith and spiritual beliefs to be discovered and used. Special attention is given to spiritual concerns in hopes of assisting the patient to be at peace or, at best, to begin to find resolution to their concerns.
The program is designed to recognize and respect the struggle of every person, to make sense or to journey with patients as they find meaning in their suffering, their living, their dying and their faith in their God. The program also recognizes that spirituality is more than prayers. It is an awareness of relationships, an appreciation of presence and purpose that includes a sense of meaning. Spirituality can be seen and dealt with in many different ways.
The Spiritual Services at Community Memorial Hospital offers the following services:
A number of volunteer support our Spiritual Services staff:
The chapel is located off the lobby and available 24 hours a day for reflection or prayer.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - John Jenkins hit five 3-pointers and scored 26 points as Vanderbilt overcame a sluggish start and beat Miami (Ohio) 69-62 Monday night for the Commodores' fourth straight victory.
Coming off a 74-57 win at then-No. 14 Marquette, the Commodores (10-4) opened this game like so many this season at Memorial Gym struggling to find the basket, hitting only 2 of their first 14 shots. They finally heated up, especially from 3-point range where they hit 8 of 18 (44.4%) for the game.
Jeffery Taylor added 11 points, and senior Festus Ezeli blocked four shots to become Vanderbilt's career leader, passing former NBA player Will Perdue.
Freshman Brian Sullivan came off the bench and led the RedHawks (4-8) with 24 points, going 8 of 10 from beyond the arc. Julian Mavunga had his eighth double-double this season but was held to a season-low 14 points, along with his 11 rebounds.

DCLA Nominating & Elections Committee
Whereas Congress did not pass a continuing resolution to fund the federal government at the beginning of fiscal year 2014;
Whereas the District of Columbia (D.C.) government had passed its budget for fiscal year 2014 but was unable to spend local tax revenue without authorization from Congress;
Whereas D.C.'s nearly 700,000 residents would have been subject to a government shutdown if Mayor Vincent Gray had not declared all D.C. government employees to be essential and used the city's reserve fund to pay them;
Whereas a D.C.-government shutdown would have deprived its citizens of access to the 26 public library branches throughout the city, access to the 90 meeting and study rooms in those branches, library services to patrons with disabilities, resources from the library's adult literacy division, and the library's early childhood literacy campaign, and
Whereas during October 2013, the month of the shutdown, the DC Public Library registered 2,207 children and teens for library services, served 22,875 children through programming, held classes for 1667 patrons in library space, and provided access to 35,031 people who used the library for meetings in the library's public meeting space, now, therefore, be it
The "USA FREEDOM Act" (H.R. 3361) is now poised for a vote by the full House of Representatives on or about Wednesday, May 21st, barely two weeks since a deal was struck by their Chairmen to spring a new version from the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. As reported in District Dispatch on May 8, while the Committees' new version of H.R. 3361 doesn't make all of the changes in current law that ALA and other civil liberties advocates believe necessary to fully protect the American public's privacy, it does take the important step of ending the "bulk collection" of telephone record data so sensationally disclosed in the press over the past year.
Before reaching the House floor, however, H.R. 3361, must first be considered by the powerful Rules Committee. Sources say that it is likely to make further changes in the bill, including some that could weaken the public protections afforded by the current Judiciary/Intelligence version of the bill. As always, the Rules Committee also will decide what further amendments to the legislation undefined if any undefined will be in order when the bill reaches the floor and all other terms of the floor debate.
Together with 32 of its library and other coalition partners, ALA wrote last week to all key House leaders and Members urging them to strengthen and clarify the Judiciary/Intelligence version of H.R. 3361 in the Rules Committee . . . and endorsing Congressional adoption of critical further privacy protections. The most sweeping of those recommendations are not likely to be accepted and included in the Rules Committee's version of the bill that the full House will consider. The odds are good, however, that vital corrections urged by ALA and others will be made to assure that, at minimum, the USA FREEDOM Act will truly end the bulk collection of telephone data as Congress says it intends.
NOW is the time for all ALA members, friends, supporters and privacy protectors of all kinds to contact their Representatives in the House! Use the fast and friendly tools at ALA's Legislative Action Center to easily find your Member of Congress and to tell him or her:
We are currently accepting nominations for the following District of Columbia Library Association awards:
Elizabeth W. Stone Outstanding New Leader Award
This award made its debut last year and honors a recent library/information school graduate who is making substantial contributions to his or her employing library or the DC area library community. Nominees should be DCLA members, have at least two years of DC area library work experience, and have earned their library/information science degree no more than 5 years ago. The inaugural award winners were Christopher Corrigan and Rebecca Trinite.
Ainsworth Rand Spofford President's Award
Named for the first president of DCLA, this award recognizes outstanding, long-term contributions to the development or improvement of library and information services. This was awarded in 2012 to Nancy Gwinn, past DCLA president and current Director of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries, and in 2013 to the Lubuto Library Project.
Distinguished Service Award
This award recognizes outstanding contributions to the organization by an active, current member of DCLA. This was awarded in 2012 to April King for her activities with the DCLA Board and the Children's and Young Adults Interest Group, and in 2013 to Barbara Conaty for her long service to the DCLA Board and the DCLA newsletter.
Community Service Award
Candidates for this award must have volunteered their library expertise to develop or improve a library service, program, or facility unrelated to their employment.

In conjunction with National Library Legislative Day, YALSA has created an online campaign to raise awareness of the important role libraries play in helping teens succeed in school and prepare for careers. We need your help in getting the word out about it! We are using a platform called Thunderclap to flood Twitter and Facebook with our 'take action to support teen literacy & libraries' message. The Thunderclap allows people to pledge a Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook message that is unleashed at the same time. It's completely safe and will automatically post exactly one message on your behalf at 11am, eastern, on May 6th.
Here's the prepared message (limited to 140 characters) you can help us get out: "Fund #libraries! They give teens a brighter future by helping them succeed @ school & prep 4 careers #nlld14 http://thndr.it/1fitEv0"
It takes 10 seconds to join the Thunderclap so you can send out the messageundefinedhere's how:
Please sign up for the Thunderclap by no later than 11am, eastern, on May 6th. To learn more about easy ways you can be a part of YALSA's efforts for National Library Legislative Day, visit http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/National_Library_Legislative_Day.
Thanks for all that you do to help raise awareness about the important role libraries play in preparing teens for life beyond school! Please pass this information on to library supporters that you know.
