The earliest word came from the Penguins Radio network this morning, when Steve Mears (the host of Penguins Live) announced that there is a press conferenced scheduled at the CONSOL Energy Center for tomorrow at 12:30 EDT. Then Pittsburgh radio station 105.9 The X ("home of the Pittsburgh Penguins") followed that up with a similar announcement.
There has yet to be any confirmation from the Penguins organization themselves and nothing has been released as to what the press conference will address. Most likely it will deal with Crosby's progress and status for training camp and the upcoming season; however, whether it will be positive or negative news remains anyone's guess.
An article regarding the press conference can also be found at SBNation.
… Rob Rossi has some ideas. Basically, Crosby saw a doctor in July who said it was fine for him to work out, but not to play full-contact, due to his concussion symptoms. He went to other doctors in August to get more opinions, and Rossi says the Penguins wanted Crosby to talk to the media if those meetings with doctors turned up any significant news.
There will be answers tomorrow, which is earlier than expected. Penguins training camp is about a week away and the 2011-12 season is another month away.

And it appears as though you already have a longboat.Then the longboat talk mostly goes away for a day or so, but is picked up again by gnfti when he lists some possible taglines for the thread, including "MetaTalk 9622: That's not MY longboat". The conversation drifts all over the place, with a few Viking/longboat mentions in the next few days, usually with the double-entendre meaning for longboat, rather than using longboat as a name for the type of thread. But by June 17, the term has come to refer to the whole thread. (I haven't read all the way to the end so I don't know if the term gets generalized to other long chatty threads here, or in yhbc's comment later, or somewhere else.)

Former "America's Best Dance Crew" judge Shane Sparks allegedly sexually abused at least 6 young girls IN ADDITION to the woman who claims Sparks raped her when she was 12 years old ... this according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The documents were just made public ... following a plea deal Sparks made with the L.A. County District Attorney in which he received 270 days in jail after pleading no contest to having unlawful sex with a minor under 16.
The allegations in the documents are extremely disturbing -- with the victim telling police Sparks forced her to have sex with him after driving her home from a dance class he had taught in 1994 when she was only 12 years old.
According to the docs, the victim claims Sparks took her to HIS home where he started to "make out" with her ... and then he "rolled on top of her and pinned her beneath him."
The docs explain, "The victim told him she was a virgin and not ready for intercourse" but Sparks "ignored her pleas and penetrated her vagina for several minutes. He then drove her home."
According to the docs, investigators found "at least six other victims, whom between the ages of 12-17, were also abused by [Sparks]." No further details about the other alleged victims are included in the docs.
Sparks is expected to begin his sentence sometime in the next year.
Guess he CAN dance! (around quietly defiling young children)
who cares?.....hurricane is a'comin'
If this is true he needs to be put under the jail! Wtf is sexually attractive about a 12 yr old?
Now that is a child molester! You didn't see that kind of crap with MJ. Too bad I liked him on America's Best Dance Crew. Well he'll be a welcome site in jail, despite his child molesting ways he is a good looking guy.
i wonder if he and R. Kelly are pals?
WOW!! Just...WOW!!!I'm really trying to think of something else to say, but my mind is stuck on...WOW!!!
Shane Sparks is about to become America's Best Prison B1TCH
He should have been put to death. Thats what needs to happen to these pieces of garbage. Rid our planet of them.
If it looks like a skumbag, walks like a skumbag and molests and rapes minors like a skumbag, then cut off his balls and toss 'em in a campfire.
I Ran into this guy before, he seemed so arragant and into himself.i can see him as being a perv. he's really short and maybe thats why he feels the need to hook up with young girls because they're the same size. he is defenitly one of those poeple that think because im famous i can do whatever i want. this guy is distgusting
one thing is for certain. child molesters do not fare well in the big house. just being there is bad enough but, if you are known for molesting kids, you are in deep, deep doo-doo.
it is a badge of honor for the inmates to rape/kill a Chester.
270 days for him and a lifetime for seven girls/women. Unbelievable. :>((
270 days!!!! Does the punishment really fit the crime?
If R Kelly can get away with it ...he will as well.

The Flow! June 23, 2013 – July 7, 2013.
Next scheduled update July 6, 2013!
Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Supermoon!
Ugh, I guess you half-expected that, but I suppose it's equally expected that you've already heard that this month's Full Moon on June 23rd at 4:32am is a supermoon.
And, probably many of you have also heard that it is because this month's Full Moon occurs soon after the Moon is closest to the Earth, it's perigee (peri – close, gee – earth from the same word we get Gaia.)
The idea of a "supermoon" was originated/discovered by astrologer colleague Richard Nolle, who I used to know from several astrological e-mail lists in spirited days of yore. He wasn't particularly fond of me and I thought he was a bit of a prick, being only interested in his own theories, but his name gets mentioned by NBCNews every once in a supermoon, and when people first hear of my name, they start imitating an owl.
Ah, such are the vicissitudes of fate — at least for now. And just to show there are no hard feelings, you can read all about the Supermoon at his website: here.
Generally speaking, in an average month the Moon's distance from the Earth is 384,400 km; Between 1750 and 2125 the furthest it gets is 406,720 km and the closest is 356,375 km. At Sunday's Full Moon, it will be at 356,997. Pretty close, but the closest it EVER gets during that time frame was January 4th, 1912. Conjure up your ancestors to hear how memorable that was.
Supermoons also happen fairly often, and fairly regularly. For example, the last big Supermoon was in the antiquity of March 2011, and supermoons also follow the 18 year Saros/Moon's Node cycle, so mark your calendars — in June 2021, there will also be a similar Supermoon.
They are fun to watch though, and because this Full Moon will be so low in the sky, it will appear bigger and more deeply colored because of atmospheric refraction, especially at moonrise and moonset. Definitely not a sight to miss, so take a look up and bring your best camera!
What, exactly does a Supermoon mean, or more to the point, what does it do?
Astrologers, as a whole, don't make much of distance. In fact, one of the main premises of astrology is that tiny tiny tiny Pluto, way way way out there, can have every bit – if not more influence than a closer planet like Mercury. Truth be told, as a rule when considering the transits, slower and more distant planets are given more (considerably more) weight than faster moving closer planets.
You might call it the "wagon wheel" theory of astrological influence. The slower moving planets dig deeper furrows in the road because they spend more time influencing the geography in which they travel than faster moving planets whizzing by.
However, I don't think it's wise to discount distance as a metric of influence. We all do know that the Moon has considerable influence on the Earth, and that influence intuitively should be stronger the closer the body is to us.
Therefore, we can expect this to be a stronger Full Moon than usual. This is particularly true since the Sun will be in the Moon's own sign of Cancer further adding to the strength of the Moon, although since this is a Full Moon and the Moon will be in the opposite sign of Capricorn, it isn't a particularly jolly place for the Moon to be.
Because of the areas (the axis of the Solstices) that both Sun and Moon are in at the time of the Full Moon, this is a Full Moon that focuses considerable energy on the following dichotomy:
That's a biggie.
We (the US, and perhaps others) are currently deeply embroiled in the question of where does privacy begin and the government's awareness of our behavior end? And another prong in that same fork is the degree to which our behavior on line is our own, and the degree to which it can be used by corporations without our explicit permission? Or still yet, how far are we willing to sacrifice freedom (Cancer) for the sake of our security (Capricorn)?
On a more personal level, the question becomes are you the boss at home, at work, or at play? Or is your behavior subject to the authority of another? Even bosses have "bosses" to whom they must answer, so "who's the boss?" can be a very subjective matter. And since the Moon revels in subjectivity, you can give yourself a migraine trying to suss out all the inter-relationships of authority in your life.
Ultimately, it comes down to our decisions – and the ability to make decisions about the manner in which we are able to lead our lives. So, in this Full Moon period (till the next New Moon July 8th) we are likely to be confronted with situations that serve as markers on the boundaries within which we live, and agree to live within them.
Changing the boundary is easy, if you are willing to accept the consequences of doing so. So yes, we are free to refuse to pay that bill, move to a nicer place, walk off the job, or just take off and not look back.
But what would the repercussions be?
To what degree, then are the boxes in which we live constructs of our own creation bounded by the denizens of our nightmares? Or are we truly hemmed in by real restrictions that breaking out from under would only create substantially greater restrictions (like prison). Or are we simply content to live within the constraints in which we find ourselves? This Full Moon can give us an opportunity to peek outside and get a better sense of what our answers might be. The view may be chilling, but it will certainly be liberating. What price freedom? And is it a price we are willing to pay?
Astrology offers some guidance. The place of the zodiac of maximum freedom is the Summer Solstice, 0º Cancer, which we passed this Thursday, June 20th at 11:44pm. And the place of maximum authority at the opposite, Winter Solstice at 0º Capricorn.
Leading up to the Summer Solstice is the principle of EXTERIORIZATION, or the bringing out that which is inside. It is a time of letting loose, letting off steam, and acknowledging some of our own inner wants and needs. It is also a time, as we have seen, in which things that were secret come to the light of day.
During the sign of Cancer, we address those inner feelings, intuitions, and sensations and come to understand them and ourselves, better. We make choices in those areas in which we are FREE to do so, in order to establish ourselves and forge an identity that comes into being in Leo.
In other words, astrologically speaking, freedom acknowledges our inner wants, needs, and talents and uses them to establish our own sense of Self. In that sense, so long as the decisions we make are supported by being an expression of our true nature, and an awareness of our personal landscape, they help establish ourselves in the world. It's the same thing Shakespeare has been saying since 1603, "To thine own self be true…" As we travel through the next couple of weeks, that may a good catchphrase to keep in mind.
Or, you can simply submit to authority. That is Path B. Often submitting to authority is the easier and more comfortable route. Equally often, it can come at the expense at one's pride, authenticity, and feelings of self-worth. You may feel like a peanut in the mixed nuts nuthouse of our world, but you'll be a good safe little peanut – until you are plucked out of the can.
C'est la vie. The next two weeks should tell much of the tale.
But even more important than the Supermoon, and far more likely to affect all of us, is the Ingress (entry) of Jupiter into the sign of Cancer on Tuesday, June 25th at 6:40pm:
Jupiter in Cancer:
ARIES: All that running around will soon come to an end as you begin to focus more on your personal life. You've been the center of attraction for quite some time, and it isn't so much that your star is fading, but that it's now time for you to focus attention on your Self. You've been spending much of your time tending to others lately, now is the time for your to take care of you.
TAURUS: Jupiter in your 3rd House expands your network and provides new opportunities for you to reach out and make connections with others. Important connections; connections that will help you professionally and personally. Don't be surprised if old friends pop out of nowhere and try to re-establish contact. So long as you feel they'll be a positive addition, go right ahead.
GEMINI: Jupiter is apt to put the spotlight on your finances. There may be times, particularly in August and next January when you might be able to improve your financial situation. Legitimacy is your keyword; just make sure that you are devoting your time to legitimate pursuits. Shady characters may try to enter your life now, so use your inner instincts and whatever other resources at your disposal to ferret them out and keep them at a good distance.
CANCER: With Jupiter in your sign, expansive opportunities lie in almost ANY direction you want to travel. The usual problem with Jupiter is that there is often an OVERABUNDANCE of opportunities, and the problem is deciding which of them is best. You, more than anyone have a good sense of your inner values – let that awareness be your lodestone guiding you through the myriad lines of opportunity Jupiter casts in your direction.
LEO: This is your prep year! You've been accumulating all sorts of stuff over the past 11 years, some of it good – and some of it stinky. Now's your time to sift through all that stuff and decide what's worth keeping and what should be tossed by the wayside. There may be some people you leave out on the curb with those old knickknacks, so try to be as genteel as possible with detritus of the human sort. Also, Jupiter is just thrilled to be in this part of your chart, so you may meet a fairy godmother or two over the next 11 months.
VIRGO: You are about to become a people magnet. No matter how much charisma you may have, you're about to attract people to you like fleas. Except hygienic Virgos wouldn't know from fleas. Let's just say this is usually also a very fortunate position for Jupiter, and he may be looking down at you in a favorable light – offering you the chance to turn some desires into reality, and bring in just the right people to make that happen.
LIBRA: This is usually a good year for you professionally. If you have been struggling in this area, Jupiter may help ease your path. The real situation at hand may have more to do with your reputation and getting the kudos you deserve for the hard work than you've been doing. If so, others are bound to take notice of you, and recognize the contributions you have been making.
SCORPIO: If you've been reading the other signs feeling jealous, there's no need. Jupiter in your 9th House is the most favorable of all. But it won't all just fall in your lap. For Jupiter's beneficence to shine its spotlight on you, you need to be on the stage and not sitting idly in the audience. Go. Do. Make. Create. Get busy. The busier you are, the brighter Jupiter's light will shine on you.
SAGITTARIUS: Jupiter is your planet, so thanks for sharing him with the rest of us! When he's in Cancer, it's like he's sitting in a Jacuzzi, martini in hand, surrounded by acolytes, and puffing on his favorite weed. In other words, he's HAPPY. And you can be too, if you are willing to examine your life and see what you need to do to take it to the next level. Chances are there's little wrong, but things have been slow – if not stuck on idle lately. This isn't really the time for making wild changes, but for setting the table for the feast you would like to eat. Get your chef hat out, and start rummaging through those recipes!
CAPRICORN: Jupiter is in your 7th House, so the focus for you is on your relationships. Some of them may be great, others rocky, but now they are all likely to come to the forefront. In the next year, you are going to better understand what these people mean to you, what roles they play in your life, and what kind of relationship you want with them in the future. That actually gives you considerable power – the important thing is to remember that the decisions are yours to make.
AQUARIUS : Jupiter is a bit fidgety in your 6th House. It generally feels itself confined to small matters, while you'd like to focus on the larger picture. But, that doesn't mean that Jupiter can't be of good use. For one thing, this is a great location for Jupiter to help improve your working conditions. Some of you may even get promotions during this time. More importantly, though, you get to rework those relationships that operate from a sense of obligation and responsibility, so that you are less driven by them psychologically, and more capable of relating to them from a position of if not equality, at least equanimity.
PISCES: You folks have been through a lot. You and Jupiter have spent a lot of time working on your SELF, and getting you into shape. Appreciate that work, and let yourself have some FUN! You've earned some time to rest, relax, and recuperate. Many of you worry way too much, and that stress is not good for your body. Lighten up a bit. Especially for those of you who work in more creative endeavors, you should find better and greater avenues in which to manifest your art. Loosen up. Jupiter's light can't shine in if you've got yourself closed up like a sack. Open up and let it's light shine down on you!
Otherwise, there isn't a whole lot going on, though that's enough.
Mercury goes retrograde on Wednesday, June 26th at 6:08am. Y'all know what that means — stay focused, stay alert, and watch out for the clowns. Electronic devices of all kinds are apt to act up, and avoid submitting or implementing anything that might need to be redone at a later time. Mercury will remain retrograde until July 20th. If you can wait until then to make any major moves, you'll be glad you did.
On Thursday, June 27th at 10:03am, Venus enters Leo. If you have been feeling moody, sensitive, emotional, nervous, anxious and otherwise on edge, Venus in Leo should lighten your load. Venus (our relationships) delights in the sign of Cancer (our feelings), but after a while often becomes a drama queen in which every little event becomes a staging opportunity for serial melodrama.
Venus in Cancer is perhaps best exemplified by Sarah Bernhardt, and here is one of her quotes: "All the pictures that hung in my memory before I knew you have faded and given place to our radient moments together. Now I cannot live apart from you… Your words are my food, your breath is my wine. You are everything to me."
Yes, Sarah, we know.
Venus in Leo is more Madonna, "Power without guilt, love without doubt…." or ""Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done."
Things are quiet until July 1st when Madonna (Venus) runs afoul (squares) Snidely Whiplash (Saturn) and realizes that universe can be a bitch back. If you must deal with others that day, try to be as pleasant as you can. Everyone is likely to be in a foul mood, and nobody wants to play nicely. If you bring donuts to the office, you'll be a hero.
July 4th (Happy 4th of July to our American friends and fans!) The Sun (our Selves) cozies up to Chiron (healing), so it's a great day for getting things off your chest, doing something nice for yourself, or even better doing something nice for someone who's letting you get something off your chest.
On Sunday, July 7th at 8:14pm Venus (Madonna gets around) teams up with Mick Jagger (uh, Uranus) for a gig at the Hollywood Bowl, surprising everyone that love, admiration, and adoration can be found in the strangest places. Just when you LEAST expect it, someone may do something really nice for you. You might even break out into a happy tune.
And considering all the stuff going on, that's a very good way to end the period!
Wishing you all a wonderful two weeks, check back on July 6th for the next edition of The Flow!

I swim laps (1.5 - 2 miles) 2-3 times per week. They seem to fit as expected according to the sizing information on the web site. Seem like high quality material and well made. Dry VERY quickly compared to other trunks I've worn. Not as much drag as some of the other longer leg trunks I've tried. Not sure how they'll hold up over time. We'll see regarding the durability issue.
Great Short!

I purchased one to try and liked it so much I ordered one in a different color. I walk the beach almost every Sunday in these shorts barefoot and happy. I hate the current men's fashion of the shorts/swimsuits below the knees. These are the types of shorts I have played tennis in most of my life and thrilled they are available. They fit perfectly, are comfortable, are versatile, and they make me feel good. Thanks so much.
excellent shorts for short people

My husband not tall has short legs, so long shorts hang past his knees and looks bad, these shorts are great, they are just the right length for him and his short legs, he loves them. He uses this product for kayaking, weeding in the garden and just hanging out around the house. He finds no fault with the shorts.
Leg openings way too big
James M.
from Sacramento, CA
on 6/5/2013
Board shorts are too long and too restrictive so I bought these to cut down on unnecessary material between my legs. The length is good and the waist is true (I'm a 32" and got a medium) but the legs open up like bell bottoms. I've got real thick thighs (21 inches) and probably could have fit both legs in one leg opening -I'm exaggerating, but you get the point. Color and everything is great but the extra large leg openings mean bunched up material between your legs, which is what I was trying to avoid by buying these. I returned them for some Ralph Lauren Polo Sport Swim 2's that fit excellently.
Looks Good.

I use these for lap swimming, 2 times/wk. Comfortable and look good. Nice material; it doesn't capture air. I'm big in the thighs, and there is some sticking of the suit legs during the breast stroke, but not too bad.
Would like to buy 2 more at the same price I paid.

What are some ways to help youth in our communities?
Sorry for the recent change but was told I must change the title in order to reflect the whole TED community and not ask for any personal help in particular for a project. So perhaps instead we could share some ideas and personal experiences about learning, growing and the best methods we have had or experienced to benefit youth in our communities.
To get us started there are a list of questions below that could help get some ideas flowing, feel free to use them or not. All ideas are most certainly welcome.
1. Did you have a teacher that inspired you? What did you learn most from him/her?
2. Is there any particular school project or assignment you had that sticks out in your mind? What was it?
3. Knowing what you know now about the "real world", is there anything you wish school better prepared you for?
4. Do you love your work? If so, what inspired you toward that field? If not, what is it you would love to do if you could?
5. If there are three pieces of wisdom or advice you could give to a kid, what would it be? If you are a current student what 3 pieces of wisdom or advice would you give adults?
6. If you could design a worshop or class for any age group you choose, which age group and what would you want to teach? Current students encouraged to answer this one too.
7. Are there any classes, workshops, books, etc that have had a huge impact on you? What are they?
Thanks again!

Aug 19 2011: Thank you for the kind words.
Books that have been of use:
Wealth of Nations - Adam Smith
The Commuinist Manifesto - Duh
Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy - Schumpeter (this should be read directly after the Communist Manifesto)
These are books that coverr incredible findamentals. They may SEEM to be about money, industry etc. but in reality, they are examinations of human conditions from an extremely dispassionate viewpoint (except Marx, he's a bit fire and brimstone).
The Demon's Sermon on the Martial Arts
The Book of 5 Rings
These more or less cover what it means to not be a dickwad as an individual. A surprisingly difficult task for most.
The Peloponnesian War - Donald Kagan
The best example of how things don't change much. I invite anyone to compare Cleon's speech to many given Bush Jr. Hilarious and terrifying. This book more than anything shows the need for open and honest communication.
Purple Cow - Seth Godin
To be blunt, I already believed everything this book said before I read it. But this canonized it. I think it extends far beyond business and into thinking in general.
A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
Possibly the first real "game changer" of my life. Originally read when I was 14, and re-read a couple of times since. The freedom to choose, and the primacy of the individual are put front and center, and continued core values for me to this day.
The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien
What grander adventure is there? (I know I know it rhymes with Bored of the Stings). But as a child it sparked my imagination, and to this day I delight in the adventure of going "there and back again".
There's more so many more. As for workshops, most involved a very successful business man teaching us how he made a miillion dollars by breaking the mold and being different. We all got very exceited and clapped and cheered then returned to our tightly controlled corporate environment where we betrayed what we learned and wondered why nothing changed.

"Shall we go at 9 o'clock?" "Yes that'd be perfect." "I wonder if Louis will be there." "I'm almost sure of it." "Shall we ask Christine to go?" "Perhaps…" "She always says no." "She's a bit odd."
The chattering voices of the corps de ballet reached Christine's ears with ease, much to their ignorance. She was seated upon the ground in the wings, just out of sight resting her aching legs. They had been standing for hours and though rehearsal had finally ended, she was exhausted. It was usual for the other choir members to go out to the cafes and lounge around the darkened city, often drinking spirits or some other mood altering substance. Christine never went. Even in her days at the conservatory, she had stayed at home where she belonged.
Tonight was no different….somewhat. Things had changed from before. She no longer felt alone. Everywhere she went even, she felt watched. She knew….he was there. Christine stood, feeling her muscles scream but not caring and began to walk along the curtains backstage. The theater was emptying quickly, and silence was settling in. She cast her eyes to the rafters above, searching for any sign of movement but seeing none. She hurried quickly back to her dressing room, just in case. A part of her was hoping there would be a lesson tonight.
It had been another long night for the dancers. Erik watched from his box five, glancing down at his Christine, who danced along, knowing she served to please him. He smiled to himself before slipping out into the shadows. He would have to beat her back to the dressing room. He raced through his hidden passages where he came into the walls seconds before she entered the room itself.

The Western Conference gave us the big upset we were hoping for in the playoffs with the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies knocking off the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs.
The more you watched the series the more you realized just how perfect a matchup it was for the Grizz. Tim Duncan (first ballot Hall of Famer) and Antonio McDyess are top-notch pro's and the team as a whole put together a wonderful run, but the window has shut on the Spurs as a viable championship contender. It's time to re-tool. With that being said, here are my Western Conference Semi-Finals predictions. Enjoy!
2. LOS ANGELES LAKERS vs. 3. DALLAS: (Lakers in Six) - Mark Cuban vs. Phil Jackson? Well maybe not, but the bantering and funny quotes between the two will hopefully be amusing. The Lakers didn't impress me in the Hornets series. They seem to goof around and play on talent and get disinterested at times. Time to ratchet it up the focus now. This is a better series for Derek Fisher to play in with veteran Jason Kidd on the other side of the ball instead of the speedy/elusive Chris Paul. They'll stay in each other's way!
The Lakers front line of Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest is superb when they're playing their best. Dirk Nowitzki is a wonderful player (Hall of Famer when it's all said and done) and the Mavs must run their stuff thru him to allow teammates to feed off of the defensive attention he garners. Critical to me is the fact that the Mavs still won't have Caron Butler, and that hurts their chances big-time. Jason Terry has to be a game changer and Jose Barea needs to create penetration galore for the Mavs. Tyson Chandler has his hands full up front and has to stay out of foul trouble.
The long and short of it - you guessed it - is Mr. Kobe Bryant. As long as the Lakers have him and he's totally engaged in the process, they'll win it. As much as the Mavs will score, play with energy, mix in the zone defense and entertain you, they don't have the ability to control this guy consistently from a defensive standpoint. He'll draw fouls and get to the line and be the difference maker that he is. I think the Lakers will ramp up the intensity now that the challenges get a little testier and be prepared to get their rhythm flowing better in their half court offense.
The Lakers are an excellent defensive team when Bynum is on the court and the Mavs will see that this is a step-up from what they faced against the Blazers. As much as it's about Kobe and their talent level, their defense will keep the Mavs under control when the chips are down.
4. OKLAHOMA CITY vs. 8. MEMPHIS: (Thunder in Seven) - Honestly, if the Grizzlies didn't have such a quick turnaround from their late Friday night celebration over Spurs to the first game of any team in the four remaining series on Sunday, I 'might' pick them to win it. If they can steal one of the first two games in OKC, then this could get really interesting.
No Rudy Gay - no problem for Memphis. Boy-oh-boy are they impressive? They guard you (Tony Allen and Shane Battier) and destroy you inside (Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol). Their confidence level is sky-high right now and don't count them out. When I think of the two most appreciative and enthusiastic fan bases of the playoffs so far, by far it's these two cities. They're INTO it!
The addition of Kendrick Perkins and Nazr Mohammed has helped solidify the OKC defence and they'll need it to handle the Grizzlies front line. How good was Kevin Durant in Game 5 against Denver? In the words of Dick Vitale, 'awesome baby'! Couple that with Russell Westbrook at the point for OKC and the duo of Battier and Allen for the Grizz will have another great test defensively. I've had so many people tell me that the Thunder are a year or two away. I disagree. Lots of times you win prior to when everyone else thinks you should and on top of that you normally don't win when it is your 'time'.
James Harden is improving and is a big time scorer off the bench for OKC and will be critical for the Thunder to jump start the second unit. Both teams are solid and well-coached and I love watching both teams' 'Compete-Level' (a Brian Burke Line). As much as the Lakers/Mavs might be about talent, flow, offense and strategy, this series will be about lots of raw emotion and off-the-charts intensity. I love it. The Grizzlies have really impressed me and I'd love to pick them, but with the quick turnaround, I lean slightly to the Thunder and as good as the Grizzlies' perimeter defence is I can't go against Kevin Durant - he's on a mission. Watch out Lakers, he's coming at you guys next and that will be a delight to watch.

In my experience, you'd probably end up having to flat iron the fringe if you want it longer
Have you ever had short hair? because it is a big change, especially if you have never been super short before. If you've never had short hair, I'd suggest you shorten it gradually to see what you think.
I'd suggest going to a stylist you know and trust, show what direction you want to go (take LOADS of photos) and have them manipulate your hair and see what would work for you.
I go through phases of super short pixie for a few years, then growing it back out. This last time, growing it out has been a very uncomfortable journey - my curl pattern changed pretty significantly (which was a shock) and I had to learn how to treat my new curls. I've been growing my pixie out for the last 18 months, I've had two haircuts and I'm barely reaching my shoulders.
Modified CG since Dec 2011
Growing out super short cut
High porosity, fine, unknown curl type, somewhere in the 2s at the moment
Mostly low poo

Android Becomes Number 2 Mobile OS on the Market
Open source, Linux-based mobile operating system Android became the second most popular mobile OS for the first quarter of 2010.
NPD wireless market research revealed that, based on the number of consumer sales for Q1 2010, open source mobile operating system Android is now the second most popular OS with 28 percent of the market share. Research In Motion's proprietary OS is still on the majority of mobile devices with 36 percent and Apple's proprietary iPhone OS is the third most popular with 21 percent.
"As in the past, carrier distribution and promotion have played a crucial role in determining smartphone market share," said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis for NPD.
Rubin attributes a recent Verizon Wireless promotion that expanded a buy-one-get-one offer to include all smartphones. Solid sales of Motorola's Droid line of phones (all of which run Android) also helped the open source OS surge in popularity.
This news comes on the same day that wireless carrier Sprint announced that the Nexus One, an Android smartphone branded by Google, would not be carried by the mobile phone service provider. Sprint will instead focus on the HTC Evo 4G. The good news for Google: both phones are powered by Android.

September Featured Pet – Maggie & Chloe
Maggie and Chloe have a wonderful life. They have a human Mum and Dad that adore them and a human sister to spoil and care for them.
Maggie chose her family by bounding up to Dad with a huge smile on her face that he could not resist, she has since grown to be a loving member of the family and self-described protector, ensuring everyone is safe, even from the dog groomer. As a Border Collie she loves to play and run with a ball (even though she is 12 and now has a arthritis) and of course herding is a big part of a Border Collie's life, so there were many days of herding the family cat Snowball around the backyard. At night Maggie settles down beside Angela's bed, to again play the protector.
Chloe on the other hand was the last puppy left in her litter and so Angela and her dad could not possibly leave without her, even though Mum had said 'Don't bring home any more animals'. Luckily when hey walked through the front door Chloe used all her charm and Mum fell in love straight away. Chloe is a little more timid than her fur-sibling; she's scared of umbrellas, brushes and anything that makes a noise. She also seems to have an issue with the bees and even though she has been stung a couple of times, she just can't resist sticking her nose in again and again. While Maggie settles down to protect the family, Chloe, the princess, will go into her Mum and Dad's room, where she has her own basket of toys to play with and must have the TV tuned to one of her two fav shows – Will & Grace or Escape to the Country.
The one thing Maggie and Chloe both share is a love of family. About Maggie, Angela says "I love the fact of how strong Maggie is, she is a fighter. She will always be my best friend." And of Chloe "I am so glad to have her in my life, she always cheers my up when I am down and always makes me laugh with her princess ways."

Best job in the world
I think I have the best job in the world. I spend my days photographing or going through photos of beautiful animals that are loved and are part of a family. Over the seven years I have been photographing pets I have seen some wonderful examples of the human/animal bond and how much each means to the other.
That's why I find it so hard to understand why there are so many pets that cannot find a permanent home, so when I found an opportunity to help these animals, i jumped on it and I have been very fortunate to be able to photograph some lovely Beagles for Beagle Rescue Victoria (see Denver below)and starting tomorrow I will be doing some regular photography of adoptees for Animal Aid.
The animals up for adoption with these animal rescue organisations come to them in many different ways, each of them has shown they are ready and willing to find their forever homes and so are the perfect pets. Both Beagle Rescue and Animal Aid are very careful to re-home their animals with the appropriate people to ensure it all works well.
If you are looking for a new family member, please visit a rescue organisation, you will not be disappointed.

My dog will never sit still
At nearly every pet expo or event I go to the most common thing I hear is: 'Oh, my dog would never sit still for long enough'. There is much truth to this statement a lot of the time, but it doesn't mean that you can't get great pet photos.
Yes, many pet photographers like to get some nice, more traditional images of your dog in a sit or drop position, but we also want to get some action into the shots, because this is often where the real story is. If your dog likes to run and chase birds or balls then we want to capture that too. If you have an energetic dog that just loves the local park or beach, then that is probably the best place to have your photo shoot, because that is where their personality will shine and you will get images you love.
If you ask most pet photographers they will probably tell you that the majority of their furry clients don't sit still for long periods of time, think of a two-year-old child being asked to sit still or in a certain position for even 5 minutes and you know they just won't be able to, that is the same with most dogs – too much to see and do. A good photographer will be patient and calm and wait for the great photo to come.
Of course if you have some basic commands such as sit, drop and stay these will also help and you will be able to get some gorgeous portraits to go with your action shots.
So don't miss out on getting some beautiful images, just be patient.

Beagle Rescue Victoria and HeARTs Speak
It's been a while since my last post here at the Creature Focus blog, my apologies I hope this very special blog might make up for it.
On the weekend, I had the wonderful job of photographing two beagle sisters called Abby and Macy. These two sisters are inseparable and if one is taken away the other one will cry for her, they just love each other to bits. Even though they are twins and very close, they have quite different personalities one is a smoocher and would do anything for a belly rub and the other is quite shy, but both are very friendly.
Abby and Macy are currently being cared for by foster parents and are available for adoption through Beagle Rescue Victoria – www.beaglerescuevic.org you can also find their profile at Pet Rescue – www.petrescue.com.au.
As well as the great job of photographing rescued Beagles, I have also been accepted as a member to HeARTs Speak. As noted on their website 'HeARTs Speak was created to harness the power of art to effect social change, to connect artists with shelters and animal relief organizations, and ultimately, to save and better the lives of animals and people.' This is a great organisation that supports animal welfare and photographers like myself who support animals in need. Please do have a look at www.heartsspeak.org

Photo sessions for RSPCA book
Only mid-January and I have already done 8 pet photography sessions for the RSPCA Victoria fundraising book Pet Tails. I have been having a great time photographing dogs and cats, nothing more unusual at this stage but I am hoping.
It is wonderful to see some many people eager to be involved with this exciting project and to have so many good looking pets to photograph, it is certainly going to be tough choosing the images to go in the book.
Here are a couple of the recent pets I have photographed.
If you would like to have your pet featured in Pet Tails (Victoria only), visit www.pettails.com.au for more information and to register.

Two very cute sisters
Last weekend I had a special photo session with two sisters. Chiko and Koko are Poodle x Maltese one-year-olds, and they are full of life and just gorgeous.
On arriving at the shoot Chiko and Koko's owner thought I might have been a salesperson as she her partner had organised the shoot as a surprise for her, and the sisters. I spent about an hour and half with the family and we got some lovely indoor and outdoor images (see below).
Photographing two dogs is an extra challenge, so generally I work with whichever dog is willing, and then swap, usually then ending with images of the two together. I find one of the hardest things to do is find tricks that work for both dogs at the same time.
The real trick is to just be patient and be ready for when they give you the look you want.
Until next time enjoy Chiko and Koko.

Nice hotel in the mountains with beautiful landscape. The road to Tremosine is a bit tricky but the small and idyllic town is worth visiting. The hotel room was quite small but nice and tidy. The pool area itself is ok but the view is really nice! Enjoyed having the variant breakfast outside on the terrace.

The LAPD is conducting a formal Internal Affairs investigation triggered by photos obtained by TMZ ... in which a patrol officer appears to have let a woman he stopped sit on his chopper as he took a bunch of photos ... then allegedly let her go without ticketing her.
The incident occurred Friday afternoon in the mid-Wilshire area of L.A. An eyewitness tells TMZ ... the cop stopped the woman ... apparently for running a stop sign.
We're told the officer got off his bike and appeared ready to write her up, but the eyewitness says the woman began flirting ... apparently with some success.
The eyewitness says the woman got out of the car and mounted his motorcycle, with his permission. He took her phone and obligingly began snapping pics.
We're told she eventually got off the bike and drove away, without getting a ticket.
he will be suspended WITH PAY freaking unions protect bad cops
She probably had big knockers. Oh well.
Try searching instagram for an attention wh0re on a bike
Wait, so who's the celebrity in this story?
The LAPD is a joke. He shud be suspended. If I get pulled over can I sit in the drivers seat of a cop's car and get my pic taken? Hardly.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Cristian Guzman's solo home run in the sixth frame -- his first of the season -- was the game-winner, as Washington snapped a six-game skid with a 2-1 victory over Kansas City in the opener of a three- game set.
The hit made a winner of Livan Hernandez (6-4), who dodged eight hits and one walk over seven frames while striking out five and allowing just the one run.
Mike Morse also hit a solo home run, one of just four hits for the Nationals, who won for the first time since a 9-4 decision at Cleveland on June 13.
"It feels real good," said Nationals manager Jim Riggleman. "It's been a little grind here, lately, as you all know. It's been tough to win a ballgame."
Bruce Chen (3-2) was the hard-luck loser after giving up two runs on three hits with four walks and three strikeouts. The costly stat was the two home run balls that made the difference.
"Both of them I was behind the count, 1-0 and 3-1. I threw a cutter to Guzman and a fastball to Morse, and they hit it a long ways," Chen said. "But I was trying to throw a strike, keep the ball down."
Scott Podsednik finished 4-for-4 and Mike Aviles had three hits, while Jason Kendall drove in the lone run for the Royals.
Kansas City threatened in the ninth thanks to a leadoff single by Jose Guillen and one-out base hit by Aviles that moved the tying run just 90 feet away. However, Matt Capps struck out Yuniesky Betancourt then rung up pinch-hitter Mitch Maier to notch his 21st save.
The Nationals took an early lead in the second frame with Morse's line-drive solo home run that cleared the wall in left.
After squandering a leadoff double in the second, the Royals responded to tie the game in the top of the third. Betancourt walked, was sacrificed to second by Chen, moved to third on Podsednik's double past Nyjer Morgan in center, then scored on Kendall's groundout.
Guzman showed off his limited power in the sixth, hitting a solo shot out to left for a 2-1 edge.

School Superintendents Want Legislative Support to Overcome Financial and Academic ChallengesBy Rhonda Miller | Published 14 Jul 2011 10:34pm |
Nine hundred educators at the convention of the Mississippi Association of School Superintendents face funding and academic challenges. As the week-long conference wraps up in Biloxi, MPB's Rhonda Miller reports many superintendents say despite obstacles, they see progress.
Cuts in state funding are forcing school districts to trim programs and lay off teachers. Even so, Tishomingo County Superintendent Malcolm Kuykendall says his district compensates by shifting staff to needed, and sometimes creative, roles. For example, they have academic coaches for students who need extra help, and Kuykendall says it's working.
"We have the rigorous curriculum that was put in two or three years ago that school districts are having to comply with and our schools are really improving and showing great progress," Kuykendall said. "We're also trying to keep our pupil ratios to where it's a good number because our teachers have more stress on them than ever."
Being a small district can have advantages, like Benoit with 287 students in one building for Pre-K through 12. Superintendent Beverly Culley says every student is known and every student counts.
"We insure that we are teaching our children the rigor," Culley said. "So if they're getting a good foundation, we're not going to have a difficult time implementing the curriculum to them. Also, for the students who are not in the earlier grades, we provide remediation for them."
In North Panola, Bob King has been conservator since the state took over the district to get it on track. King says they've already cut teachers.
"We've cut almost to the bare bones," King said. "We're fixing to start having to impact student services if we continue to have to make cuts."
King echoes the thoughts of many superintendents. They hope the economy turns around and legislators vote for better funding for education.

Disgraced Louisiana Republican Conservative Senator David Vitter not only liked high-priced call girls in Washington, DC, but frequented a pricey brothel in his hometown of New Orleans and had a "Tuesdays and Thursdays" fling with another prostitute in the 1990s.
But Republican officials in Louisiana helped cover up Vitter's dalliances with prostitutes, saying "it's very sleazy, and it's illegal. But, OK, it doesn't apply to senators. They're an elite group."
Jeanette Maier, who ran an expensive whorehouse on Canel Street in the Crescent City, says Sen. David Vitter was a regular client of her establishment when he served in Congress before his Senate run in 2002.
Maier called Vitter a "decent guy" who she said "just seemed to need some company" during visit to her $300 an hour brothel.
"As far as the girls coming out after seeing David, all they had was nice things to say. It wasn't all about sex. In fact, he just wanted to have somebody listen to him, you know. And I said his wife must not be listening," Maier told The Associated Press.
Reports the AP:
On Monday, Vitter acknowledged being involved with the so-called D.C. Madam. A day later, new revelations linked him to a former madam in New Orleans and old allegations that he frequented a former prostitute resurfaced, further clouding his political future.
Federal prosecutors unveiled the existence of the $300-an-hour brothel in April 2002. It was linked to similar operations in other U.S. cities.
"It wasn't all about dirty, raunchy, crazy sex," Maier told the AP. "It was a bunch of guys coming over hanging out with the girls and having a few cocktails, and men being men."
Maier was among 17 defendants who pleaded guilty in the investigation. With all the guilty pleas, there never was a trial, and that kept under wraps a list of customers that reportedly included prominent lawyers, doctors and business professionals.
"He is a decent guy. He's not a freak. He's not using drugs. He's not using taxpayers money to buy hookers or drugs or anything like that. He's just a decent, normal guy," she said.
Vinny Mosca, Maier's attorney in the brothel case, said in a statement late Tuesday that she never told him about Vitter being a client and that his name never came up in the case.
"Throughout the time that I represented Jeannette Maier in the Canal Street brothel case, the name of David Vitter or any code name for him never came up," Mosca said. "It was not contained in any evidence in the case, including in any book, list or document seized by the federal government or given to the federal government by Ms. Maier."
Mosca also said Vitter's name "was never picked up on any government wiretap nor is it listed in any transcript or court document as part of the Canal Street brothel case."
Also Tuesday, details resurfaced about an allegation that Vitter paid weekly visits to a prostitute in the French Quarter in the late 1990s. The allegations were investigated by a Republican rival when Vitter ran for a House seat in Congress in 1999. The seat had been vacated by Robert Livingston, who resigned after disclosure of marital indiscretions.
Vincent Bruno, a member of the state Republican Party's central committee, said Tuesday that he had confirmed the allegations at the time while working for the campaign of David Treen, a former Louisiana governor running against Vitter.
The allegations never surfaced in the congressional campaign, but The Louisiana Weekly, a New Orleans newspaper, wrote about them in 2002 and 2004. Vitter denied the accusations. The prostitute never spoke publicly about the alleged affair, which was largely ignored by mainstream news organizations.
"She said she was having a paid affair often on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Dauphine and Dumaine," Bruno said, referring to two French Quarter streets.
"It's very sleazy, and it's illegal. But, OK, it doesn't apply to senators. They're an elite group," Bruno said with irony. He has called on Vitter to resign.
Vitter's office did not respond to calls for comment on the latest allegations.
Bernie Pinsonat, a Louisiana political analyst, said Republicans most likely would stand behind Vitter despite the new allegations.
"They aren't going to throw him to the wolves," he said, citing support from religious organizations, conservative commentators and the general public.
Vitter declined interview requests throughout the day Tuesday, and made no public appearances in the Capitol. The night before, he'd made a startling confession about his connection to the so-called D.C. Madam in an e-mail to The Associated Press:
"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible. Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling."
Vitter's statement said his telephone number was on phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates, an escort service, before he ran for the Senate in 2004. Federal prosecutors have accused Deborah Jeane Palfrey of racketeering by running a prostitution ring that netted more than $2 million over 13 years, beginning in 1993. She contends that her escort service was a legitimate business offering sexual fantasies.
Vitter, 46, and his wife, Wendy, live in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie with their four children.
Vitter recently played a prominent role in derailing an immigration bill backed by President Bush. He also is a key supporter of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's presidential bid, serving as regional campaign chairman for the South.
11 Responses to "Vitter has long history with prostitutes"
Poor Senator Vitter is a Catholic with 4 children. Obviously he is just another faith-based Catholic who would never consider divorce and would rather destroy his own marriage and family. Of course he is a Republican, they wrote the new moral codes that drive them into promoting the prohibitions to force all of us to behave.
Please, Senator before you spend another day backing President Bush's family values, clean up your own.
Maybe we do need the police state to be formed in America to control the actions of our own legislators and add the "Sin Amendment" to our Constitution to control their own habits.
The thought of looking to D.C. for our moral laws is more than I can comprehend. There was talk prior to the 2000 election to prohibit adultery, prostitution on top of abortions, same sex marriages, stem cell research and end of life choices. Alan Keyes had his own list that went as far as closing up all gambling casinos.
We must stamp out sin! The exception being members of the elite Republican Party.
I don't much care if a guy employs a hooker. But then to run on a "family values" platform pretty much annoys me. Oh, the hypocrisy! What I'd really like to know is who was Jeff Gannon hanging with all those nights in the White House. Couldn't be Chimpy could it? Naaahhhh!!!!
You know, D.C. has so many skeletons they need an aircraft hanger To hide 'em all! Abstinence is a must, but, Adultry is OK? Bad, bad, bad! Bad example to set for our youth and bad for the image of the 'Men of Virtue' who are supposed to lead us in the right direction. This is utter, and absolute BULLSHIT.
who says news isn't fun? especially if it's salacious!
They say he's not using taxpayers money to pay for his hookers – well – he's a US Senator – WE pay him – so yeah – he IS using taxpayer money to pay for his booze and hookers.
Pardon – the bile is building in my throat – I need to visit another topic.
Be Warned Steve –
…the other topics are no less bile-inducing –
…but I appreciate your looking on the bright side! –
The media is just as corrupt as the Republicans. They break a jaw here, and pull their punches there. Media is too important to be left up to crooks. Thank God for the net. We never would have heard of Jeff Gannon (Guckert)
John Hanks, Laramie, Wyoming
I want to know is Vitter's wife is about to collect her "trophy!"
Oh look. Another Republican serial adulterer.
That's not news. Gingrich, Livingston, Hyde, Jiuliani, et.al.
He wasn't a freak. Didn't do drugs. He just wanted to talk.
Nothing to see here folks, move along.
Don't most guys visit hookers just to talk?
yeah – if you want to get screwed you stop in and talk with your state representative.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A plea deal is in the works for a woman charged in connection with a fire in New Albany that killed three children.
Prosecutors said a change of plea hearing for Kylie Jenks is scheduled for July 21.
Jenks was set to go on trial next month on charges of conspiracy to commit arson.
Police said Jenks, Shelby Makowsky and a 17-year-old were all in the car with 18-year-old Cody Cashion when he fired a flare in to a house on Ealy Street back in January.
The flare sparked a blaze and 2-year-old Trinity Hughes, 4-year-old Tyrese Hughes and 6-year-old Taz'iah Hughes were killed. Their sibling, Tatyana Hughes, was injured but survived.

Made this cake today for my birthday and absolutely loved it. Followed recipe but made the following changes to the frosting: subbed mascarpone for the cream cheese and added 1/2 tsp cardamom--took this cake to the next level! If you're a pistachio lover, this is the cake for you.
Pistachio Layer Cake
To flavor the cake and the filling, we've processed pistachios into a smooth nut butter. Some large grocery stores and health-food stores may carry a prepared, plain pistachio butter. If you have it, substitute 1/3 cup commercial pistachio butter for 2/3 cup chopped pistachios.

Dominic Vicari Jr., 82, of Crown Point, died July 29.
His son recalled missing a bus that took the 1973 Crown Point High School marching band to a Kansas City Chiefs/Dallas Cowboys game.
Vicari rushed him to school, but the buses were gone.
Back home, his dad suddenly said, "Get dressed. We're going to O'Hare."
They flew to Kansas City and arrived before his band mates.
Son David Vicari recalled his dad driving him for accordion lessons.
"Can you imagine hitting it hard at U.S. Steel all day and then looking forward to driving your kids to accordion lessons?" he asked.
Susan Zdanowicz was a "head coach/full-time nurse" for Vicari as he fought health problems. She and another sister, Lisa Zdanowicz, arrived each day to help with his kidney machine.
Anne Marie Diambri recalled having straight A's on her first high school report card.
"This was the first time she ever saw dad tear up," Michael Vicari said.
Their father's expertise as a journeyman electrician was a positive influence to another son, Jon, who followed in his footsteps.
Patty Lewis recalled their dad being amazed at her physical strength.
He always said, "You don't want to mess with Patty."
Paul Vicari said his dad wrote a touching letter on his confirmation day, saying that he "was one year closer to becoming a man."
Danny Vicari recalled his father bending pipe, pulling wire and climbing stairs in his 70s to help wire his new home.

Hardscrabble was a predominantly African American neighborhood located in northwestern Providence during the early nineteenth century. In 1824, the area was the site of a race riot in which whites targeted and destroyed the homes of several black residences. The riot was a violent manifestaton of the racial tensions between Providence's underclasses. Today, the State Capital overlooks the former site of Hardscrabble.
A distance from the center of town, the cheap rent attracted respectable working-class blacks as well as unsavory characters of all races. Respectable but poor residents lived next-door to houses of vice. Tensions grew between the residents of Hardscrabble and other residents of Providence.
On October 18, 1824, a white mob attacked black residences in Hardscrabble. The apparent trigger was the refusal of some blacks to get off the sidewalk when approached by a group of whites in Hardscrabble earlier in the day. Although the mob claimed to be ridding the town of places of ill-repute, they destroyed buildings indiscriminately, regardless of whether it was the home of an innocent black resident or a site of criminal activity. The mob tore down approximately twenty houses. As detailed in the Hardscrabble Calendar, four people were brought to trial but only one found guilty.
Historians dispute the exact location of the riots; based on contemporary sources, it likely took place in the vicinity west of Canal Street and between Memorial Boulevard and Smith Street. How important is it to know the exact location?

5 Hours, 13 Minutes, 24 Seconds with CeCe Winans
- Friday, June 18, 2004
4:27 p.m.
With Alvin pursuing other errands, CeCe's assistant arrives to take her home. Keith and CeCe plan to meet back at the studio later in the evening for a writing session. Don't be surprised to see another Winans debut in the album credits: CeCe's 18-year-old son, Alvin Jr., who is a college freshman with music on his mind, has also been contributing to the writing and sonic ideas.
5:30 p.m.
Back at home, CeCe continues to return calls. She's trying to track down a teenage girl from her church whose life is coming apart with a series of family problems and bad choices. She doesn't reach her, but she'll keep trying. Then a call comes in that makes her day: Another girl from the church phones to report on her encouraging grades from school. CeCe beams as she praises the girl's success. When she hangs up, she observes, "I'm not sure just what I'm supposed to do, but I feel like the Lord may be moving me toward some kind of ministry to teenage girls. The pressures and dangers are just unreal." It's apparent that, at least on an informal basis, the ministry is well underway.
5:48 p.m.
Ashley comes down from her bedroom for a quick mother-and-daughter photo before heading out to church. Describing Ashley's aspirations for a career in acting, the concerned mom admits with a mischievous look, "I just don't want to see this one end up on 'MAD-TV.'" They laugh.
5:55 p.m.
Alvin arrives from his marathon errand-running. Unless he is hungry, CeCe announces that the kitchen is closed. After a little time to repack, it's back to the studio and that midnight ride to Texas.

XPERIA X1 Buyers Get Memory Card After Registration
Early adopters of Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 on some countries will get a 4GB memory card after registering their phones. The memory card will contain the movie Hancock, which will appear on DVD in late November.
We can only hope that other divisions of Sony Ericsson will have a similar promotion.
