Room was clean, facilities were nice, and staff was friendly.
Room was significantly overpriced (low value). Reservations booked online via other (non-Hilton) siites are given the least desirable room locations. Fire alarms went off twice at 2:00 a.m., received several prank calls throughout stay, and someone with a card key attempted to open our door at 6:00 a.m.

It had a full size kitchen and very clean.
The furnace was very, very loud.We always travel to the Dells, and other family members join us. This year, our group had gotten too big for a 2 bedroom unit, so needed to rent another unit for 2 nights. This place was perfect for that. Our units were originally in totally different areas at the resort, but the girls at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating to our request to get them closer together. The resort has a nice indoor pool, racquetball courts, and other activities at the activity center. Free wifi is provided, too. The unit itself was very clean. Cleanliness and helpfulness of the staff were a big plus at this place.

The yellow jacket nest in the walls of the hotel. They took care of it by sealing up the holes in a timely manner. But still should never have that issue. And staying there that should not be something u have to worry about walking through the hotelIt was ok for 2 days but I would never stay there for a week. Also had an issue with the a/c could not change it right the knobs were all stripped and not gripping correctly.

When we first checked in our room number was 260 or 261. The bed was absolutly horrible. It was harder than a rock and sunken in and had a deformed look to it. After that I got the room changed.

Season 11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez is getting into the acting game with a role on Fox's "Glee."
She's the first "Idol" alum that I know of to get a part on that show.
TVLine says she may be a love interest for Finn in what is being dubbed a "recurring role," which means it could go on multiple episodes.
Mediabase 24/7 chart update
Top 40:
Maroon 5's 'One More Night" is no. 1. Nicki Minaj's "Pound the Alarm" falls to 22. Phillip Phillips' "Home" edges up to 24.
Hot AC:
Maroon 5 is No. 1 here, too. Phillips is at No. 5.
Carrie Underwood extends her incredible seven-year streak of top 2 hits on the country charts to 16 in a row, going back to "Jesus, Take the Wheel" in 2005. Her latest single "Blown Away" is now No. 1 on Mediabase 24/7 and Billboard. Casey James' "Crying on a Suitcase" remains at No. 24. Lauren Alaina garners her third top 40 hit with "18 Inches" peaking in at No. 39.
Christian AC
Jason Castro's 'Only a Mountain" is holding at No. 21.
Mike Darnell, long time reality guru on Fox TV, told Hollywood Reporter that he wasn't perturbed by the Nicki-Mariah feud, that it created "buzz" for the show, even if, in my mind, it's not the type of buzz that will necessarily draw people to the show but even turn some folks off.
I've only watched maybe 2.5 episodes of "The Voice" so far this year, but it's doing very well in the ratings, killing "Dancing With the Stars" among younger viewers, even if DWTS draws more overall fans. Last night, it pulled a 4.6 18-49 rating vs. 2.1 for the DWTS results show. "The Voice" drew 12 million viewers, while DWTS drew about 13 million. It's also soundly beating "The X Factor," which I'm actually watching in full because I like it better.
Paula Abdul enjoyed her stint on DWTS as a guest judge this week, telling US magazine: "I hope you could see how much fun I was having. It felt like home and was very natural."
Scotty McCreery's Christmas album is out now. Scotty is splitting his time touring and going to college. Impressive!
Kelly Clarkson's greatest hits album comes out next month. She's the first "Idol" alum to have a greatest hits album! This cover looks kind of lame, though:

Congratulations to both, but I'm not going to watch Glee just to see Jessica. Well maybe just her singing parts, but that's asking quite a bit.
October 17th, 2012
4:15 pm
I'm only a sometimes Glee watcher, but might watch for Jessica! Good for her.
From the last thread – D, I do plan to watch X Factor, but not until the live shows. And then just the actual singing and comments – no host mess, so couldn't care less about Chloe/Kloe. (I refuse to misspell it like she does. If she insists on spelling it with a K, it doesn't need an H.)
And Mercedes – ewww, you mean that awful witch Courtney, and Ben? Well, yeah, it was just a matter of time after he saw her true colors towards the girls. And I saw that Emily and Jeff are dine also. Again no surprise. She should've picked Arie anyway.

Saw part of X-Factor tonight – was glad to see Diamond White, Carly Rose Sonclar and Beatrice Miller going to live shows. Arin Ray will likely be popular, but the 3 girls are all better, more versatile singers — which doesn't mean any of them will outlast him.
It was a lock that Tate Stevens would get through, and he does have a good voice – but can't see any of the over 25's making the top 4. Tara Simon is heading back to her her music studio, to become the next Carrie, Kelly or Christina.
With both of the heavily tattoo'd dudes – Vino Allen & David Correy heading to the live shows, that will be a handicapping subject between the two – to see which one gets the farthest. Both are very good vocalists, but may be a hard-sell against the competition.
The Justin Bieber and Nick Jonas cameo appearances as mentors to the Judges – was an appeal to get younger viewers, but haven't heard if it really worked. The Beeb involved with the over-25's was awkward, to say the least
October 18th, 2012
7:08 am
Haven't watched last night's X-Factor so thanks for the update, Seth T.
Not so sure about none of the over-25's making the top 4. How old were Melanie Amaro and Josh (last name escapes me) last year? Thought they were both over 25.
We'll have to see how the younger contestants react to the criticism in the live shows and the voting results. I think past experience shows us that Simon will be harder on them and we know L.A. doesn't honestly critique anyone not on his team!

After last night's rain delay fiasco I don't think there is any doubt that steam is exiting Simon's ears. We saw part of XF's show last night then it was mysteriously interrupt by a rerun of a sitcom. So here's the official press release on airing last night's show in its entirety next Tuesday:
Due to tonight's rain delay of Game #3 of the National League Championship Series, the highly anticipated conclusion of the "Judges' Homes" round of THE X FACTOR will air in its entirety on Tuesday, Oct. 23 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The competition kicks into high gear on Tuesday, when the judges reveal which four acts in each of the four categories – Teens, Young Adults, Groups and Over 25s – continue and which two acts are eliminated.
Tonight on the West Coast (8:00-10:00 PM PT), an encore broadcast of last Wednesday night's THE X FACTOR will air. The remainder of THE X FACTOR schedule remains intact, with the first live episodes airing Thursday, Nov. 1 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) and Sunday, Nov. 4 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live-PT tape-delayed).
My bet is that Simon hates baseball. His ratings are flat already and the World Series is NOT helping!

I love Halloween – my favorite holiday of all!

Good morning!
Yep, Fox was a mess last night. I got hooked on another program while I was waiting and had to record it. Once XF went to break and didn't come back, I went back to the one I was watching first. It was a documentary about the life of Steve McNair. I really enjoyed it and was reminded what a special player he was. Actually, it was much more interesting than anything that took place on XF last night.
October 18th, 2012
9:01 am
@Highlander, Melanie Amaro was 18 and Josh Krajcik was 30 years old when they were on X-Factor. Fox really screwed the whole XF show up and Simon should be angry. They shouldn't have tried to show it during a rain delay mixing it in with other shows.
Personally I like the young teens although Beatrice Miller and Diamond White seem to have the maturity of their age(13) and may not be able to handle the pressure. Carly Rose is mature way beyond her 13 years. If they all have to lose one like last year look for Beatrice Miller to get the boot.
Overs 25. No surprise.If LA has to cut one my guess is that it would be Tate. LA is not big on country. The only one I see that could make it to the top five is Jason Brock.Vino is the dark horse.
I still think Jennel Garcia will win it all. I think she and Carly Rose will be the final 2. They are spoilers out there onwho made it and who didn't. Only one mildly surprise.
October 18th, 2012

I would love to be in the board meeting at Fox this morning just to hear the excuses. The problem is regardless to the mess last night X-Factor will have no momentum starting live shows which is a shame given that the show has a lot of talent. It would not surprise me to see the girl group LYLAS that Simon put together making the final. The name is bad but WOW the girls can sing. Camilla Cabello gave me chills when she sang her part in the song Impossible. Here is the link

Watched beginning of new American Horror Story season…and I was not impressed. It was dark, dark, dark – think I watched Adam Levine get his arm chopped off, but not sure – but more of a splatter movie than last year's fascinating ghost story which grabbed me right away. Jessica Lange excellent, and I liked the guy probed by aliens, and his new gf Grace…but the rest of the inmates/torturers – no.

I love my aliens and my zombies, but the older I get the less I can take of people torturing people. I stopped watching "Criminal Minds" a couple years ago because the tortures/deaths they showed over and over were just too sick to watch and then go to bed and try to sleep.

Torture is the one reason I can't warm up to the new James Bond as much as I should. That scene in Casino Royale ruined it for me. Follow that up with a movie that lacked a plot other than "let's put Daniel Craig in a suit" and the franchise seems to have lost its focus. Granted, my wife really enjoyed seeing Daniel Craig in a suit, luckily I look just like him with or without a suit.

Friend overseas has seen "Windfall" or whatever the new Bond movie is called and he liked it a lot. Said it's way better than Craig as Bond II.
October 18th, 2012
12:12 pm
I personally LOVE Daniel Craig as James Bond. First time I believed the character since Sean Connery left. Connery had that street tough quality under the tuxedo and charm. Roger Moore never achieved it and neither did Brosnan. I believe Craig's Bond is capable of enormous, unsportsmanlike violence. The torture scene in Casino Royale was a bit too much for me as well but that's the film-maker's doing. Craig, to me, is the perfect Bond.
October 18th, 2012
12:42 pm
If the film makers were smart they'd bring back Connery. Not as Bond but possibly as Bond's father. I think fans of both would embrace it. Think of the money it would make?
October 18th, 2012
12:43 pm
Didn't say I don't like DC as Bond – just don't care for torture porn in movies. Craig is best Bond after Connery… the icon.
October 18th, 2012
12:49 pm
I like Daniel Craig as Bond, just don't like the way they've done the movies.
"I'm going after the bad guys!"
"Why are they bad?"
"They are overthrowing a government for the US and UK"
"So the US and UK are bad?"
"Well, there is something about oil and water and ummm, hey look an expolosion!"
October 18th, 2012
1:22 pm
Yep, that's pretty much it but, while you have the now super-intelligent but still unbelievably gorgeous Bond girls to keep your attention, we have (like we did back in the days of Connery)someone to keep our attention as well. Frankly, I could look at Daniel Craig all day and never get bored. Plus, the man can act!
October 18th, 2012
1:38 pm
I think it is hard to do a believable super-villain these days. Look at the villains in Goldfinger and Thunderball. They were mostly entertaining caricatures rather than fully realized personalities. I don't think you can do that today, especially after 9/11. This Bond is more real but less real all at the same time. The character of Bond is more rounded but the situations are still old school Bond-ish. Sometimes they don't mix well.
October 18th, 2012
1:57 pm
Sean C oozed (still does) sex appeal from every pore in his body – handsome, sophisticated, rugged, manly & DEADLY – he was the absolutely perfect James Bond.
Roger Moore was a prissy boor, who couldn't be sexy if Sean gave him lessons.
Pierce Brosnan was handsome and sophisticated, but skinny and prissyish, not very manly, and nothing deadly about him.
Daniel Craig is manly, dresses up ok, and definitely is DEADLY. If we can't have the devilishly wickedly funny and gorgeous Sean, Daniel is probably the next best thing.

Happy to hear that Jessica has landed on her feet. Is Glee a popular show? Hope so. However, I wish that her cd was in the process of being released.

G, Glee is bigger than the Beatles. Ok, I just said that to rile people it's only bigger than Elvis, but not quite as big as the Beatles yes. At least it was for the last few seasons.

Glee WAS big…not so much anymore.

Never watched Glee, but I don't hear people talking about it anymore, like they did the first season or two.
Still haven't been able to watch "Walking Dead" – got to play catch up with it, "Amazing Race" and "Hawaii 5-0″ soon!
Anyone heard from Nana lately – it's been awhile since she peeked in. Must come back before T-giving, to talk about all the fabulous stuff she's cooking up – and it would really be nice if she'd invite us all over to eat it!

And, speaking of…… Harm hasn't been around lately either. or Heather McD – but hubby is stll hanging in here at least.

I can see why too. During the first few seasons I would walk by while it was on and say to myself "that looks entertaining". The recent episodes I have walked by and wanted to reach through the screen and start punching people in the face. I can't quite place my finger on what has caused it to morph because I can only stand it in 20 second doses now.

What show is JT disiking so much?
I like Glee after some of the kids went to "college".
And Sam-A, I've interviewed Pierce Brosnan several times – nothing skinny, prissy or unmanly about him… a lovely, charming gentleman with a great sense of humor. And unlike most Hollywood men,, of comfortable height (6′2″)
October 18th, 2012
3:31 pm
Glee can still be entertaining but it is also….what's the word I want? Pedantic? Obvious? Socially enlightening in a bossy kinda way?
And I have always liked Pierce Brosnan…just not as James Bond!
October 18th, 2012

Re Nana…her dad took a fall about 2 weeks ago so she is helping with him.

Mercedes: I think Pierce seems very funny and nice, and is undeniably handsome. But he's pretty darn skinny (maybe in these later years he's added a few lbs, but in a movie of his awhile back, his little legs looked like toothpicks!), and he's if not "prissy", at least "primpy", ie always looks like someone has groomed him. Not even close to Sean or Daniel in the "manly" department – he more of a "sophisticated charmer or cad" type for movies.
October 18th, 2012
4:01 pm
Pierce Brosnan was good in the Thomas Crown Affair although Rene Russo was the star! He was so-so as Bond IMO.
October 18th, 2012
4:41 pm
I didn't care for Pierce Bronson as Bond either.
I think they eliminated the right singers last night. And, glad Bristol is finally, finally, finally GONE!

Read Press Release (PDF)
This Time We Are Both is a previously unpublished work that dates back to the publication of such seminal Clark Coolidge books as The Crystal Text, At Egypt, and Odes to Roba. Based on his first trip to the Soviet Union as he followed the itinerary of the Rova Saxophone Quartet 1989 tour of Leningrad, Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, Tartu, and Moscow, This Time We Are Both uses a dense stream-of-conscious style that employs a fragmentary, often reverse syntax that is a hallmark of Coolidge's poetics. Phrases and images leaps between lines to evoke a heady mix of anxiety and paranoia that document and respond to the collapse of the Soviet Union and a city on the verge of starvation and deterioration.
"Clark Coolidge's This Time We Are Both is a pyrotechnic fumble through the dark. Written in 1991, and responding to the fall of Soviet Union, Coolidge's book-length poem considers the linguistic rediscoveries that come at the end of an imposed order. Simple nouns and verbs collide wildly, and specificity emerges from the unexpected conjunctions. The words pop with knowledge that has nothing to do with novelty or theory; rather this is a book about how to look, how to balance the body on the legs, how to shake a leg to language. It is at once an elegy to Leningrad and an aubade to St. Petersburg." —STAN APPS
"This Time We Are Both is a brilliant sounding of the question that surrounds us wherever we are, whenever we are. The poet asks 'who has fallen in with the sound?' This time it is the sound of the poet's coming into a new culture, a new language. The problem of difficulty in all its forms—political, emotional, linguistic—is the subject and the condition of This Time We Are Both: what brings us near, what keeps us apart. To hear Coolidge's music is to fall into its grace." —PETER GIZZI
"Like the rest of his oeuvre, This Time We Are Both shows that, while Language poetry doesn't care about lyricism and aesthetics, it can sometimes still give pleasure. It a strange, wonderful achievement, even if too few are paying attention." —BROOKS LAMPE, the the
26 copies of This Time We Are Both, signed and numbered by the author, in a limited edition. The special edition is sold out.

Clark Coolidge was born in Rhode Island in 1939. His first full-length collection of poems was Flag Flutter & U.S. Electric (1966). In the early 70's he was included in the An Anthology of New York Poets and L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E magazine. One of the seminal figures of experimental poetry, Coolidge was one of the leading authors on This Press, Sun and Moon Press, and United Artists Books. A life-long jazz musician, his poetics explores a linguistics of the visual and sound through reductive combinations of layered images that are both meticulously composed yet seemingly improvisational.


text: Not felt tips, not gel-tips etc. They are amazing for darkness and crisp linework, but they just aren't able to create the delicate tones that ballpoints can achieve. And ballpoint pen is one of my favourite 'mediums' but is highly disregarded in the art community. If I want to continue using it, I should make sure that its going to stand the tests of time instead of fading. Some people have suggested just refilling the barrel of a ballpoint pen with archival ink and work with that, but the consistency is still not the same.

Nice list.
Interesting list: I am very pleased that quite a few of my favorite writers are on this list and that the Sherlock Holmes stories are considered Edwardian rather than mere detective stories.

Fatal Collision on US31E/US231 in Allen County
Date of News Release: 04/05/2009
(Bowling Green, Ky.) -- Lisa Vinson traveled through a traffic signal into the path of Danny Larrance's vehicle at the intersection of US31E/US231. The rear passenger side door of Ms. Vinson's vehicle struck the front end of Mr. Larrance's vehicle. Ms. Vinson's vehicle came to final rest on the northbound shoulder of US31E. A rear passenger (Shelia Shrum) was pronounced deceased by Allen County Deputy Coroner Lex Carter at the Scottsville Medical Center.

Does federal law trump state law?
To the Editor:
Can a state pass and enforce a law that is in opposition to a federal law?
Those who think not cite what is called the Supremacy Clause, which they interpret to say that federal law is supreme over state law. Some would argue that the states cannot pick and choose which laws they choose to honor.
But, what exactly does the Supremacy Clause say? Article Six, Clause Two states: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof ⦠shall be the supreme Law of the land. Those who are unknowing - or are deliberately misleading - contend that this clause says that US law trumps state law.
"Thereof" refers to the Constitution. Laws are to be made in pursuance to the Constitution. What about "shall be made in Pursuance" thereof? Pursuance means following or in keeping with. Thus only those laws that are in keeping with the Constitution are the supreme law of the land. And, those not in keeping with the Constitution are not valid laws. In order for them to be constitutional and enforceable they must be found in the list of allowable and enumerated laws.
And, who is to say what is constitutional? The states based on the Constitution itself. If the law is about something that is not listed in the Constitution, then it is unconstitutional and the Supremacy Law eliminates it as having supremacy over state laws.
The better question would be - when does federal law trump state law - and it is clear that it does so only when the federal law is constitutional, when it is found in the enumerated powers.

Plush, well maintained and a GREAT 12th floor view
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! Listing was exactly as described and clean. The owner answered all of our questions timely and yes I would recommend this property to anyone that would like to stay. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching and listening to the Gulf. On the night of August 10 there was a "super moon" over the Gulf that was breathtaking. Loved everything!!!!

Of 134 students who visited King's health center during the 2006-07 school year, five students, or 4 percent, reported having sexual intercourse, said Amanda Rowe, lead nurse in Portland's school health centers.A teen girl who approaches a school nurse and invokes confidentiality is taking a careful, thoughtful action that is somewhat intimidating, and is no doubt going to get a serious and attentive evaluation from that health care professional. School nurses have seen it all. I think it's very easy for people who are mainstream, responsible parents to lose sight of the kinds of life situations that kids in poor urban (or for that matter, poor rural schools) experience every day. This service was asked for because it is needed, not to get social conservatives something to watch on Fox News today. According to today's Herald, here is how the process would work:
"This is a service that is totally needed," Rowe said. "It's about very few kids, but they are kids who don't have the same opportunities and access as other students."
Contraception would be prescribed after a physical examination by a physician or nurse practitioner and would include follow-up care, Belanger said.In other words, this isn't about sex. This is about recognizing a reality of public health, and about preserving the ability of young people not to permanently impact their schooling and their lives by becoming parents at a young age.
Types of prescription birth control available through the health centers include contraceptive pills, patches or injections, as well as the morning-after pill.
King is the only one of Portland's three middle schools with a health center, primarily because it has more students who get free or reduced-price lunch, Belanger said.

Comments about Gibraltar Chrome Series Power Rack with C-Wings:
Its a good rack and its very sturdy. It also looks great around my kit. If you have big cymbals I suggest getting bigger side wings though. One thing that threw me off was the curved legs too. But it is just as sturdy as straight legs. This is a great buy and i recommend it.

When Menifee City Council members approved the new 2011-2012 budget, they greatly increased funding for economic development, from $219K to $984K, nearly four and a half times more than the previous year.
While only three years old, some might say the City of Menifee should take a slow growth approach, but others argue that economic development is way overdue, and city council members seem to agree.
They appointed Bill Rawlings as City Manager back in January, who had previously served as Redevelopment Director for the City of Vista. Last July, Rawlings hired Jeff Wyman as the city's economic development director. Wyman had previously worked under Rawlings at the City of Vista.
Before cityhood, the County of Riverside had approved several large housing developments within Menifee Valley, but very few commercial and retail, forcing residents here to flock to Temecula for shopping and dining options.
"Housing had been the economic development in Menifee under the County", Wyman explained. "There had been no focus on business, retail, and restaurants".
Last month, Wyman presented the city council with a "Restaurant Incentive Program", designed to make Menifee more attractive to restaurant owners. Up until now, opening up a new restaurant in Menifee had cost as much as $100,000 in fees. The program will effectively cut those fees by as much as $50,000.
"We had some very good response on it at the ICSC last weekend" Wyman said, referring to a trade show of the International Council of Shopping Centers held in San Diego. "We grabbed the attention of several restaurants and were able to market our city to them", he continued.
And marketing the name "Menifee" to restaurants and retailers continues to be an on-going to task for the staffers at City Hall. With nearly 80,000 residents, the City of Menifee continues to be the largest city in Southern California with the least amount of name recognition.
"A lot of the marketing we do is focused at brokers who represent retail developments" Wyman explained. "These guys also represent developments all over Southern California. We give them information they don't have about us."
Just over a week ago, Rawlings addressed the Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors in their City Manager's Breakfast, describing the city's economic development plan as "very aggressive", and that an important part of that plan involved real estate professionals...
"We're creating a very aggressive economic development, and we've heard some very wonderful ideas and we want to reach out to you and the business community so that we can generate additional revenues. And one of the ways we do that is in sales tax. In Menifee, the sales tax revenue is very, very low, compared to our population. In the wisdom of the past 20 years, there's been a lot of home construction in Menifee and not very much retail development."
In terms of sales tax generation, the City of Menifee ranks among the lowest in the County of Riverside, taking in only $60.00 per person, compared to $212.00 per person in Temecula.
In a meeting of community leaders in Menifee last June, Rawlings said that Menifee loses $11 million dollars a year in sales tax due to residents shopping and dining in other cities... "We're losing $10 to $11 million a year in sales tax dollars due to residents going to other cities for their shopping and entertainment. Our sales tax generation is less than one-half of the next lowest city."
In Temecula, sales taxes represent nearly 50% of that city's total revenue. In Menifee, sales taxes represents only 18%. In fact, Menifee still relies heavily on its property taxes (36%). Vehicle license fees comes in third at 17% of total revenues, and is likely to vanish due to recent legislation signed by Governor Brown.
But while property owners might complain about paying too much in property taxes, only 0.1274% of that amount is kept by the city, with much of it still going to the County. "Most cities sales tax generation is about double their property tax generation", Wyman said. "In Menifee, it's the opposite."
While many residents in Menifee have asked for more restaurants, even more are asking for good paying jobs. "One of our priorities is to bring in businesses that will bring jobs" Wyman said. But it's not easy bringing in employers that pay high salaries and offer good benefits.
High tech employers tend to locate in communities where there's an abundance of amenities. Thus far, Menifee hasn't had enough retail and dining to attract the kind of labor force they want. "We have to start by bringing in restaurants and retail in order to create an environment for big employers", Wyman went on to explain. "We have to have all the right pieces in place in order for those companies to feel comfortable about coming here."
As for fixing roads and widening bridges, the city doesn't seem to have enough money available. While Wyman and Rawlings are looking to increase sales tax generation, they've also explained that many big restaurant chains and department stores still feel as if Menifee doesn't have the population to support business. So, it still comes down to building more homes and bringing in more people.
How does a city attract more residents if it doesn't have much to offer in retail, dining, and jobs? How does a city attract more retail, dining, and jobs, if it doesn't have enough residents?
One small answer is to beautify the city. Part of the $984K in economic development funds that was approved for this fiscal year's budget is also being spent on projects to plant more greenery. Recently, the city completed a project at Sun City Shopping Center, putting new shrubs and trees along Bradley Rd and Cherry Hills Blvd. They've also approved a project along Newport Rd near Haun Rd intersection, and have similar projects in the works for Romoland and Quail Valley.
Thus far, both Wyman and Rawlings seem optimistic about the city's future, seeing Menifee at the center of South West Riverside County's economy. "In ten years from now, we'll look back at the discussions we had and smile at how far we've come", Wyman said in an interview with us. "Menifee has a lot of potential".

Cute or Annoying? You Decide! [POLL]
I'm usually quite impressed by mashups, but this one is troubling me. The cloying cuteness of My Little Pony is something that haunted by childhood, so to see it combined here with our favourite Time Lord in Doctor Whoove is setting my teeth on edge.
The problem, of course, is that as a child of the 1980s, my younger sister was forever playing with these awful polythene toys, with their hairbrushes, makeup and stickers finding their way into every room of the house (and onto every surface!)
Yet there is something a little endearing about this video…
Actually, no. I don't like it. Or do I? Is the dialogue a bit naff? Could the captions be discarded with completely? Would a storyline help, and is Bubble too annoying?
Gah! It's all too much. Perhaps you should decide…
5 Responses to Cute or Annoying? You Decide! [POLL]
I like it, then again, I'm a brony. In fact, I first checked out Doctor Who since the fans believe that Pony looks like David Tennant. …Whaatever.
I always found these things a bit sinister (not that I had any)….
I have no idea what 'My Little Pony' is, what it sounds like, what it's purpose is… or anything.
I liked this, but I hate the art. I LOVED the original My Little Pony ARt before they changed, murdered and turned it into the Mawdryn Undead with ice cream shops and school, taking out the medieval fantasy themes and with it all its charm. ;(
But this was cute. The scripter can't spell or use the English language properly, but that's smal beans compared with the awesome of the clip. awesome job!

Memories that lived in drawers are now behind the doors of my unique curio,
Protected and viewed from a distance are now collected inside my antique curio.
Mementos from faraway lands hold my heart in my hands forever captive,
Transporting me where I long to be, there tucked inside my boutique curio.
Everything I want to flaunt and keep so perhaps someday I can pass on,
So loved ones can remember me, if they have the key, sit inside my sleek curio.
Not once did I ever travel to acquire things that I admire, with what I have now,
Possessing a bit of history is a complete mystery, behind glass of my mystique curio.
From China vase to blown glass and rustic old brass to Rosenthal plates,
There is nothing to pawn, that is really fancy, on the shelves of my meek curio.

I've spent the past year rereading books I was assigned in high school English, a project that had two consequences. 1) Every great book I heard about this year that I did not read in high school went into a future-read pile that now resembles a sleeping baby rhino in the corner of my bedroom and 2) this year's reading felt like being ages 16 and 39 at the same time. Which meant I remembered not liking a lot of novels because I had to read/quote from/essay upon them but saw them in the entirely new light of 20 of almost-middle-age adulthood.
My favorite example: The Catcher in the Rye.

Test a swatch first. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.

SPOKANE – Bernadine Van Thiel, 89, is about to get her lifelong dream granted, thanks to The Twilight Wish Foundation.
Van Thiel and her daughter on their way to Georgia to meet former President Jimmy Carter following a church service this Sunday.
Van Thiel and her husband were active philanthropists in the Spokane area. In the late 1970s, while Carter was president, Van Thiel and her husband focused on protecting valuable farm land in the Five Mile Prairie from development. The two of them even designed a board game to raise awareness about it.
President Carter inspired Van Thiel back then with his forward thinking, and she said he still does to this day. She said she planned to thank Carter for all of his work.
"For a long time I have so admired you as my hero in ecology, in advanced technology, in peace-making," Van Thiel planned to tell Carter. "So here I am, blessed in every way."

A leggy baby gazelle is the newest part of the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.
The addra gazelle calf, named Elvira, was born the morning of October 30. The healthy baby weighed 11 pounds. Her parents are Pearl, who's 9, and Makuru, who's four.
But because Pearl is showing no interest in Elvira, zoo staff has decided to hand-raise her. Peal gave birth to another calf, Ray-Ray, earlier this year.
"Because the calf is so significant to the overall population of this endangered species, we decided that a quick intervention was necessary in order to keep her healthy," Mike McClure, general curator of the Zoo, said in a statement."
Zoo staff is feeding Elvira with a bottle, six times a day. They're being careful to socialize her with the rest of the herd, in particular her grandmother, so that she can integrate with the other animals as soon as she's ready.
The addra gazelle, also known as the dama gazelle, is the largest and tallest member of the gazelle family. They live in Africa's Sahara desert, moving from scrub land in the dry season to the desert in the wet months.
Known for their speed, these gazelles can reach a running speed of 45 miles per hour.
There are 130 addra gazelle in zoos throughout the United States. The species is critically endangered.
Zoo visitors should be able to see Elvira later this winter.
