Ann Patchett
HarperCollins, $25.95, 304 pp.
Ann Patchett's new novel opens with a wryly romantic vision of motherhood. Bernadette Doyle, recently deceased mother of one biological and two adopted sons, has left behind a beguiling Irish statue of the Virgin Mary, bearing an uncanny resemblance to red-haired Bernadette herself. When her sisters come to claim the statue, long handed down to daughters in the family, Bernadette's widower refuses to hand it over, pointing out that his two boys, Tip and Teddy, pray to their mother's image every night. Though no one will say it aloud, everyone understands why Bernadette's sisters think Tip and Teddy would be particularly unsuitable beneficiaries of the statue: because they're black.
Run is the second of Patchett's five novels to take on the subject of race. She is not interested in racial tension so much as in the possibility of love—and respect—crossing racial lines. The black narrator of her early novel Taft is a former jazz musician, frustrated by his distance from his own son, who befriends two troubled white teenagers; much of the narrative concerns his attempts to imagine the white children's father, whom he has never met. In her seminal work on whites writing blacks, Playing in the Dark, Toni Morrison argues that white...

Writing on wall for rower tags | Aug. 5
Character vital for thriving city
Floridians are in love with building developments full of sameness. Look at what's happening right now at the old Carrollwood Bearrs Groves: razed, renamed an artificial-sounding "Retreat at Carrollwood," and packed tight with 19 formulaic monstrosities that feed Florida's love affair with faux. Thriving cities recognize the most important element in creating a livable metropolis: the injection of fun and character. Character is authentic, it's sincere, it's genuine.
Sandblasting away the rowing teams' spunky graffiti wipes away just a little bit more of Tampa's spirited personality, and clears the way for more and more sameness. Let's stop this craziness and start inviting the rowers to pick up the paint and color us mad. No light bulbs needed.

Loosen up, Buckhorn
Let's appeal to Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn's sense of fun. Also his talent for marketing.
Tampa may have the only river in the United States that turns bright emerald green on St. Patrick's Day. So far, so good.
But is there any city in the country — in the world! — that is better known for its perfect environment to host collegiate rowing teams in the early spring?
Marketing is all about establishing an identity. The secret to identity is to emphasize what is unique. Who cares about things that are airbrushed? Let the evidence of the rowers remain. Every tourist to downtown Tampa will notice and remark on it.

A plan more about politics than transit Aug. 5, editorial
Good plan for Hillsborough
I take issue with your editorial regarding the proposed transportation package in Hillsborough County. Transportation planning is more complicated in Hillsborough, requiring a much more multimodal proposal.
The proposal is an intelligent attempt to implement projects that have been studied in the past, with a focus on job-growth areas. Hillsborough still has significant roadway needs. Unincorporated Hillsborough County contains 65 percent of the total population of the county; therefore, a different kind of plan is going to be in order.
The Hillsborough MPO did extensive market research and other methods to understand what the citizens want. Of course, rail is an important goal in our most dense, urbanized areas, but other parts of the community need a more mixed plan with roads, sidewalks and buses. A plan that makes sense in Pinellas might not work in Hillsborough.
This proposal is important because for the first time, elected leaders from all jurisdictions have had a serious discussion of transportation issues and moved forward with a proposal for the community to comment on. This is a proposal for the beginning of a community discussion; it is not a final plan. By working together on transit in Hillsborough County, we can come up with a final plan for transportation that will meet the needs of our diverse community.

Not quite a pure Parisian delight | Aug. 6
Restaurant noise a problem
The restaurant review by Laura Reiley about the new bistro in Tampa was very interesting. Reiley described the restaurant's problems and suggested possible solutions, which were very good.
One serious problem she addressed was the acoustics. These challenges are often met by restaurateurs with a "whaddayagonnado" shrug.
But this is a serious problem that I have experienced in many large rooms and restaurants I have been in. The noise sometimes becomes very distracting and uncomfortably takes away the joys of a nice night out.
I suggest that the noise problem should be addressed by some of our bright young engineers and scientists, who can devise possibly an electronic noise suppressor to bring quiet and make life better for us all to enjoy our dining out.

Legislative limbo not so bad
I must take exception to the writer's conclusion that the passing of "only" 108 substantive pieces of legislation by the current Congress is simply atrocious.
Congress has a history of doing not only the wrong thing the majority of the time, but also the opposite of the right thing.
With that history in mind, I suggest that they passed at least 107 pieces of legislation too many.

Session to rework map | Aug. 4
We know how this will end
Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence knows how this issue is going to end.
The Republicans will redraw their flawed districts, as ordered by Leon Circuit Judge Terry Lewis, by the Aug. 15 deadline. But Lewis will decide against holding special elections in those districts affected by the new boundaries, thus depriving the plaintiffs (League of Women Voters, etc.) of a victory for the 2014 elections.
The Republicans will have succeeded in kicking the can down the road by maintaining their illicit boundaries for Districts 5 and 10 until the 2016 voting cycle. So they will have "lost the battle but won the war!"

Among Duke Energy Florida's goals, better service is nowhere to be found | July 25
We need more choice
Electricity, water and phones are basic necessities of life. Why, then, aren't these services provided by nonprofit organizations? Why do the firms that provide these services have investors? Duke Energy bought a pig in a poke from "Florida Power." Now, we're the ones paying for it! The Public Service Commission should shut them down. I have $1,297 in Social Security coming in, and my last electric bill was $180: two people in the house, 1,200 square feet. And there's nothing I can do about it!

One thing I have realized since moving to Columbus is that there are a ton of amazing restaurants in the area. One restaurant called Katalina's has really stood out to me in particular. Katalina's is a cute cafe-style neighborhood restaurant located on the corner of 3rd and Pennsylvania Avenue in the Victorian Village and is a very popular place to go to for brunch.
Since I live in Grandview, I often go to places that are not located right near Ohio State's campus. The great thing about Katalina's is it is only about a 10 minute drive from where I live and about a 10 minute drive from Ohio State's campus as well. Therefore, this is a very convenient place to go for students living a little further from campus and for students who live closer to campus and are looking for a change of pace.
Katalina's uses almost all local ingredients to make their Mexican-inspired food. The most unique and popular item at Katalina's is their pancake balls. You are able to choose the filling you want in the pancake balls with the choice of Nutella, dulce de leche, or pumpkin-apple butter. The pancake balls are served with Katalina's famous sweet and spicy bacon.
There are numerous other menu choices such as various sandwiches, tacos, and biscuit balls. The line is always out the door at Katalina's, but I can confidently say that it is well worth the wait. Check out the menu for yourself and if you are looking for something fun and new to try, I highly recommend eating at Katalina's!

I can provide you with Real World use of Photoshop and how to use it for Print and Web purposes. You should also know that I'm patient and adjust my training style based on your experience and background. So if you are a beginner I will focus on the fundamentals of Photoshop because they really are the foundation to becoming an experienced user. Likewise if you are an experienced user I will show you how to be more productive as far as tips and trick I have learned along the way to get the most out of you time and make you more efficient. You will learn a lot. See my experiences below. There are many ways to learn Photoshop but so many are dull exercises from a book that have no end goal. My process is awesome because you actually create something that is a real world design solution! How great is that!
After I graduated from the University of Connecticut, I attended the Savannah College of Art & Design. That's where I learned the foundations of graphic design and that you could actually make a living as a graphic artist. It is where I learned Photoshop for print/web design as well as other Adobe software. Recently I have been providing print and digital services to brands and corporate clients within Fairfield and Westchester County. I have been fortunate enough to land freelance gigs for NBC Sports & Olympics, the Gartner Group, Design Within Reach & and most recently the United States Tennis Association. The best thing about my training is that I go at a relaxed pace and I build upon what the student has already learned. This way the material is fresh and techniques are reinforced.
In addition to my full-time job I have been teaching one-on-one Photoshop classes to anyone who wants to learn. I have conducted classes at my home office but students can request house calls or library sessions.
I look forward to meeting you and providing the tools you need to become a better designer. I can provide you with Real World use of Photoshop and how to use it for Print and Web purposes. You should also know that I'm patient and adjust my training style based on your experience and background. So if you are a beginner I will focus on the fundamentals of Photoshop because
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I learned Adobe Illustrator at S.C.A.D. (Savannah College of Art & Design)
My real world experience using Illustrator includes NBC Sports, Polo Ralph Lauren & DWR to name a few companies. At these position I mastered the techniques used in vector graphic creation including gradients, blends, type manipulation, painting , tracing and using symbols.
When tutoring I used the above techniques to with real world projects such as creating a logo. I conduct the workshop at the client's pace so they feel comfortable and they learn.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop for several years. I learned Photoshop at S.C.A.D. ( Savannah College of Art & Design) In my professional life I use Photoshop often to create images for web pages and print material, including, posters, business cards, billboards, invitations and logos.
I also use Photoshop often to color correct and enhance images taken with a digital camera.
Over the years I have compiled the best ways of achieving desired effects in Photoshop because there are often a few ways to do things.
A good deal of the time you make your graphics in Photoshop and then import them into other programs like InDesign.
My method of teaching is practical so I operate at the clients pace and i apply real world experience to the workshop.
I have several years experience using Dreamweaver to create landing pages to websites. I learned to master Dreamweaver at a few of my past jobs but most recently at my current job where I create landing pages and micro sites.
Dreamweaver can be a bit intimidating but once you master the basics of web production it can help you put together some interactive pages made with html and css.
The most recent version of Dreamweaver CS6 helps you to make responsive websites so they look consistent whether you view them in a browser of mobile device.
My Web Design expertise started at The Savannah College of Art and Design. Since then I have learned and applied various web related skills and techniques that have made me a well rounded web designer. I have also been fortunate to learn practical applications of web design at some awesome companies such as NBC Sports & Olympics.
I have taught design, including web design for a few years now and adjust my pace of teaching to the ability of the student plus I'm very patient. I will look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
Photoshop Friendly I Promise

To all of you who are watching this stock run away from you, I said on May 24th after an 18% decline from $8.10 to $6.50 that "If you think you will buy in lower, you will probably miss the opportunity."Now RWY is not only back to $8.10, but it is at $8.62 (33% gain from $6.50) which was a high close for the year - and is on the edge of breaking out.Of course it could drop back again to $7, but unless there is horrible news at some point investors are factoring in everything that has happened in the past and, like me, couldn't care less. Like I said before, 1998 might as well be 1492.Happily taking my chances.
Rwy investor it actually pulled back as low as 5.88 or so back in may, and that is when I was considering buying more;however, no money in the account at that time, and now have the cash in there and it takes off.. ohh well.. I got some at $7 back in Feb and was hoping to pick some more up in the 6 range on some averaging down but it is taking off and I do not know if it has that big of a drop it in it, unless we really get some bad news..-BB
bumble I was referring to all those who bailed out on the "bad" news for previous years on May 24th. I felt that was seeing the news the wrong way and it was a golden buying op.Yes it may pull back to those levels again on really bad news, but if the news is that bad, you probably won't buy more anyway. The time to buy was May 24th and the reason was to view the past sins as tomorrow's comparisons.Happily taking my chances.

We all know the after-school drill these days: Kids come home and hit the books for their "second shift" -- so much homework that, chances are, they've got plenty to do before and after dinner. Even those of us who find some homework logical, such as reading and studying for tests, think the workload has become extreme -- especially since we all did just fine in school a mere generation ago with less than half the current amount. Oh, how easily we accept the fact that homework improves test scores and helps our kids stay competitive in the global economy. Pop quiz: Is this even true? Answer: no.
An extensive review of over 100 studies by the country's leading homework researcher, Harris Cooper at Duke University, shows there just isn't a connection between the amount of homework and achievement in elementary school. Even in middle school there's only a moderate correlation, and yet we've convinced ourselves that good schools are homework-crazed, no matter the grade level. We've also convinced ourselves that "smart nations" put a high value on homework. And there we're dead wrong as well. Look at countries that outperform us on student achievement tests -- in Japan, Denmark and the Czech Republic, to name a few, teachers actually assign less homework than those in the U.S.
Why is busy work so often the status quo? Alfie Kohn, a proponent of homework only when teachers can make a good case for it, suspects that ignorance is, indeed, bliss. "It's more convenient for us to assume that what our kids are being made to do is in their best interest, and it's unsettling, to say the least, to face up to the possibility that what we were made to do when we were children is exactly as pointless as we suspected at the time," he says.
I'm not blaming teachers here. Many are forced to assign a certain amount of homework each week by districts eager to look good and improve scores -- never mind that family time and down time have become weekend luxuries, if they happen at all.
Of course, we need better schools, and we need to build a nation of ambitious, lifelong learners. Your homework assignment? Prove to me that a second shift of school every night will give us just that.
I am just as frustrated with the insane amount of homework some students are given, but the facts are not on Andrea's side. In 2006, Duke University researcher and one-time homework detractor Harris Cooper revised his conclusion. His latest study found that, after grade school, homework does significantly benefit academic success as long as it doesn't exceed two hours per night. "Eliminating homework makes no more sense than piling it on," he stated.
American students today actively need homework to cement what they are learning and compete in the global economy. As Carol Josel, author of "Getting School-Wise," puts it on her Web site: "Debate homework's merits all you want, but compare our typical 180-day school year with Israel's 216 and Japan's 243, and its significance is hard to dispute."
Further, American students ranked 36th out of 40 industrialized nations in the number of hours they actually spend in school, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Anecdotally, I recently compared what my children were learning with what their same-age friends and cousins were learning overseas -- and was distressed to find that they were behind in several key subjects.
Technically, Japan may assign less homework, but most Japanese children are enrolled instead in a daily after-school education program for several hours.
Kids need to remain kids, but we should still expect them to learn at a global standard and develop the good work-study habits that will carry them through life. And without longer and substantially more days spent in school, homework seems to be the only way to accomplish that. Even students agree: In a 2008 MetLife Survey, 77 percent of students said doing homework was important or very important. The same study found that those who do not believe that homework is important are more likely than to "get C's or below ... (and) not plan to go to college."
Americans are often so busy with activities that homework falls to the bottom of the family's priority list. I'm as guilty as anyone. But the answer is not to eliminate homework. We must ensure it isn't just "busy work" but also be willing to change family schedules to prioritize the child's most important activity: learning.

Skip to comments.Selling Homosexuality to America
Posted on 07/11/2003 2:12:34 PM PDT by apackof2
click here to read article
Much like Plato's Euthyphro and how Socrates challenges Euthyphro on his "piety to the gods."
Murderers have been consistently observed from the time of Cain and Abel too. They have been an observed and recorded fact throughout historical time and virually all human societies.
Therefore, using your definition of "natural", murderers are "natural". Should be create special protections for them? Dont' they have a right to "privacy".
Jeffery Dahlmer was railroaded! A victim of the vast right wing conspiracy to discriminate against murderous canibals! The laws that Dahlmer was convicted on, should be overturned because they only serve to "stigmatize" murderers! (Rant off!)
Easy. Humans and other mammals reproduce how?
Humans willfully pervert their anatomical functions for pleasure or gratification. Many times this is hidden or masked (like an ancient Greek actor) out of their own guilt-ridden philosophical perspective. It shows they are really afraid to admit they enjoy, or have become enslaved, to their perversion(s).
It is an idol they have constructed for you to revere and obey so they don't have to admit they are perverts.
Any human population has a percentage aberrant behavior - - rapists, molestors, drunks, murderers, suicides, etc. Homosexuality is no different...
I didn't intend that, I meant virtually, but virually does fit.
Sadly they are succeeding too.
"Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corin. 6:9b-10)
You know, I look at that a completely different way. Since it is absolutely clear that a MINORITY of the population has homosexual inclinations that means that it is NOT typical.
What is the difference between a spiritual disease and a physiological one? Say your best friend has schizophrenia, a diagnosis made after you have known him for years. Suddenly, he is not the same person you knew for so long. I am willing to bet that, Christian as you are, you will remain his friend, no matter what. If his condition deteriorates to the point of institutionalization (sp?), chances are you will visit him and let him know you are still there for him.
Now, replace the schiz with homosexality. And the institution with a relationship with another man. Would you still do the same?
Which is why judgement is not our (man's) job.
"Judge not, lest you be judged the same"
All this proves is that there are some federal judges who need to lose their jobs.
IOW, it doesn't matter what you think about me, but what I think about you.
I believe most of them are Liberaltarian/DU trolls. Just wait. They'll see this thread and go into a homosexual orgasmic frenzy. The attack will be relentless.
"Judge not, lest you be judged the same"
My friend...Jesus didn't say this so that we would accept moral anarchy.
In Native American culture, a child born of blue eyes were also given the same status.
In my culture (Asian), a firstborn child that is femal brings shame into the family.
They are all based in ignorance. Of course God didn't create left handed babies, blue eyed children, or little girls for the express purpose of damnation. But
current thought at the time dictated that. Can you at least consider the possibility that the same is true of homosexuality?
No, and again the reason is simple. In all the cases that you sited, it was MAN'S sin that branded those children. GOD never said it was a sin ro be left-handed or blue-eyed or female. Those were all constructs of man, not God, and any child who suffered as a result of those wrongful judgements by men may well be redeemed by God. Homosexuality is different in that GOD says that it is sin and as such will be ultimately judged by God, regardless of what men say about it. In other words, no matter how many city spported "parades" they have, or how many books are written for children making it look like it is okay for Heather to have two Mommies, no matter how many churches decide to ordain practicing homosexuals, no matter how many "hate crimes" laws are passed and no matter how many Supreme Court decisions support homosexuality as a legitimate and Constitutionally protected lifestyle, it alters not the fact that God will condemn the unrepentant homosexual. We should do our best to obey the laws of the land, but when the law of the land is in direct conflict with the Law of God, our choice is clear:
" "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name(Jesus), and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us." But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:28-29).
For example...if I were a sodomite...why would I condemn other sodomites when I too was involved in the same behavior.
ro = to
spported = supported

Don't you think it's presumptuous to beleive that you can save another man's soul? We can only show him the way - he alone must decide
I don't mean this to sound callous, but that's it in a nutshell. All I can be is an example. I cannot save another man's soul, I can only lead him to the Truth. And even when he finds the Truth, it is by his choice.
But I still feel that homosexuality is not a choice.
THe fact that is recurs through generations, even with "enforced sterility", leads me to beleive that way.
*befuddled look*
So do drunkeness and incest. Doesn't make them God given either.
Good question. Obvious answer: they're self-destructive.

Bug Chasers
The men who long to be HIV+
Carlos nonchalantly asks whether his drink was made with whole or skim milk. He takes a moment to slurp on his grande Caffe Mocha in a crowded Starbucks, and then he gets back to explaining how much he wants HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. His eyes light up as he says that the actual moment of transmission, the instant he gets HIV, will be "the most erotic thing I can imagine." He seems like a typical thirty-two-year-old man, but, in fact, he has a secret life. Carlos is chasing the bug.
"I know what the risks are, and I know that putting myself in this situation is like putting a gun to my head," he says. Some of that mountain music that's so popular is playing, making the moment even more surreal as a Southern voice sings, "Keep on the sunny side of life" behind Carlos. "But I think it turns the other guy on to know that I'm negative and that they're bringing me into the brotherhood. That gets me off, too..... Click here for rest of article
On a lighter topic - yes I'm a virgo. Also a cat lover, hence the Pur. As for do I beleive in it, I dunno. I had a natal chart performed, and I have to tell you, a lot of the info pegs me to a T.

A lot of review of AP material in 200-level classes
I was automatically accepted into my program and just have to work hard to stay in it.
I love the English major program, but I'm a little angry still that the school costs so much and doesn't give enough financial aid.
I am part of the music ed program which is one of the hardest programs on campus. We take a lot more course work than most other majors on campus while being required to be in a musical ensemble, but it's is worth it and will help us to become more prepared for our future.
Many of the academic programs are very strong. Most popular/successful majors on campus include: Biology/Pre-med, Business, Psychology, Education, Accounting, CSD, Geology. I'm an accounting major, and signed a full-time job with a Big Four accounting firm as a sophomore

Try local woman's Blueberry French Toast for a breakfast treat
Published: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 at 10:41 a.m.
One day while looking for something different to prepare for breakfast, Norma Dinger of Terrebonne Parish created the recipe for Blueberry French Toast.
With a little input from her sister, Dinger, who has been cooking since the age of 10, whipped up the morning meal that calls for ingredients like blueberries and maple syrup.
This recipe earned the 42-year-old a finalist spot in the Appetizers and Breads category of the Bayou Gourmet Cooking Competition.
Dinger has entered the contest for the past decade and this is her fourth time having a recipe make to the finals.
"Im still hoping," Dinger said.
Blueberry French Toast
12 slices day old bread
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup whole fresh or frozen blueberries
10 eggs, beaten
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
1 cup blueberries
Coat a 9x13-inch-baking dish with spray oil.
Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and put into baking pan.
Pour syrup over bread and top with 1 cup blueberries. Pour beaten eggs over berries.
Cut cream cheese into 1-inch squares and place evenly over bread. Top with prepared sauce mixture.
Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees covered with foil, uncover and bake 15 minutes or more.
Sauce: Combine sugar, cornstarch and water in pan.
Boil 3 minutes, until thick. Stir in 1 cup blueberries, reduce heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes.

Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Special kudos go to Walker, for his dead-on impression of a time-traveling 2x4, and the perpetually hysterical O'Connor, who delivers one of the most grating performances in history.
I felt too much of the movie consisted of groups of characters I didn't care about, running down passageways and fighting off enemies and trying to get back to the present before the window of time slams shut.
There's a modicum of charm to Timeline, since its eager, earnest tone harks back to Donner's work from the '80s, particularly "The Goonies" and "Ladyhawke."
Plays out like a 1950s B-movie with a fat special-effects budget. Brain-numbing dialogue, incoherent action and glaring improbabilities aside, it's a bearable combination of sci-fi paranoia and historical fantasy that drags modern viewers, and the robotic hero of "The Fast and the Furious" movies, Paul Walker, back to the centre of the Hundred Years War.
You'll be checking your watch a lot during Timeline. Though most of the cast is strong and the movie has moments of suspense, ultimately the mystery in this action thriller is so far-fetched it's ludicrous.
Lacks the consistent tone, pace and point of view for either a science fiction thriller or medieval war adventure.
Scenes stop and start abruptly, and the sub"Lord of the Rings" action is more dulling than rousing -- and yet it can be funny.
This big-budget adventure is based on a recent Michael Crichton thriller, though its premise is too stale to instill the sense of wonder critical to great sci-fi.
Timeline takes the most ridiculous movie plot ever imagined and multiplies it by ten.

Sep 13, 2014erdict: Not Quite There
Story: Ever film that is based on time travel tries to find something different to make it stand out, and I willerdict: Not Quite There
Story: Ever film that is based on time travel tries to find something different to make it stand out, and I will give this one credit. It does pose a different idea to what we are used too, the whole 3D fax machine that creates a wormhole is new but very farfetched. If we are being honest this story is about saving an old man but sacrificing a group of young men who make the trip back. That alone would ask a few questions really. Most of the support cast are solely there to be killed off which leads to even more questions about the point in the mission. (6/10)
Actor Review
Paul Walker: Chris the son of the Professor who doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps, but will drop everything to go on a mission to save his life, even though he should already be dead. Good performance from Walker showing his potential in an early role. (7/10)
Frances O'Connor: Kate one of the team who is determined to find something and will put her work before any relationship. Good performance but in the end is a very annoying character due to over reactions in the past. (6/10)
Gerard Butler: Andre a man with passion for the past, who risks more damage to what has happened when he tries to save Lady Claire from the fate she already suffered. Good performance from Butler who showed he was the action star of the future. (8/10)
Billy Connolly: Professor Johnston the man behind the dig who has put his career ahead of being a father to Chris, but he gets trapped in the past and calls for his team to risk their own lives to save him. Not the best from Connolly who looks lost a lot of the time, it didn't help that his character is the catalyst for everything that happened. (4/10)
David Thewlis: Robert the brains behind the time travel operation who fails to tell the team all the risks but shows what he is made of during the story after the machine gets destroyed. Good business man role worrying more about covering himself than the people whose lives he is risking.(7/10)
Anna Friel: Lady Claire the lady whose death drove the French to victory but after she gets saved by Andre who is meant to be the motivation for the victory. Good performance pulling off the accents perfectly. (8/10)
lady clare
Neal McDonough: Frank the solider sent back to protect the team with his experience of previous trips, but he gets more than he has bargained for. Good performance in a supporting disposable character role. (6/10)
Director Review: Richard Donner – I think it would be fair to say this film was a little bit too ambitious to put to film without any real major stars at the time and a lot gets lost in translation. (6/10)
Action: The battles sequences are big and full of plenty of action. (8/10)
Sci-Fi: The different idea for time travel works really well, but still leaves plenty of questions. (7/10)
Settings: Good authentic settings created for both past and present scenes. (9/10)
Suggestion: This is one to try it is not brilliant but has some good ideas that don't quite come off but the effort should be given credit. (Try)
Best Part: Andre character steals the show.
Worst Part: Questionable reason for doing the traveling.
Action Scene Of The Film: The final battle.

By Sgt. 1st Class Alyn-Michael MacleodMarch 14, 2012
HERSHEY PARK, P.A. (March 10, 2012) - Approximately 300 Soldiers and Family members descended upon Hershey Lodge in historic Hershey Park, Pa., to participate in a Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Event hosted by the 99th Regional Support Command.
"They are many resources here for them, so I urge them to learn about the benefits, resources and opportunities for them to educate themselves.. when they educate themselves they are educating their families," said Command Sgt. Maj. Richard Castelveter, command sergeant major for the 99th RSC. "Soldiers are truly our family… we preach family on a regular basis; we just can't preach it, we have to talk the talk and walk the walk."
Ensuring that no Soldier is left behind during their mobilization experience, the Secretary of Defense initiated the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program in 2008.
The program provides information, services, referral and proactive outreach programs to Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen in the reserve component and their families through all phases of the deployment cycle.
Consisting of seven events that take place at intervals before and after mobilization, the program gives the Soldiers and Family member's information, counseling, skills and techniques for upcoming deployments and re-deployments.
Events 1 and 2 are for Soldiers and their Families at the onset of a deployment. These events assist everyone for the separation. Events 3 and 4 are for family members only and are often used to see how the family is doing and to assist them in planning the Soldier's homecoming.
Events 5,6, and 7 of the program are two-day events that happen 30, 60, and 90 days after the Soldier returns home and is released from active duty, and include information on current benefits and resources available to help overcome the stress and challenges of reintegration.
The 99th RSC host Events 4,5 and 6 on a monthly basis throughout its 13-state area of responsibility.
For Spc. Tyrone Guzman, a native of Clayton, N.C., deployed to Basra, Iraq with the 805th Military Police Company, this was his first experience at Event 4.
"I think they have a lot of good information on reintegrating yourself back into home life with your family and your wife, specifically on communicating," Guzman said. " It helps them understand some of the issues that we might be going through when we get back."
Guzman was also impressed with the amount of employment information that was given out during the event.
"The program gives you a lot of good information for employment, how to look for employment, how to build a resume, how to make yourself look more attractive to the potential employers," Guzman added.
Soldiers from 805th Military Police Company, 443rd Military Police Company, 368th Engineer Battalion, 275th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion and 302nd Transportation Company had an opportunity to visit multiple vendors during the event.
Career Link, Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, 99th RSC Strong Bonds Program, Department of Veterans Affairs, Employee Partnership of the Armed Forces, Merrill Lynch, Military One Source, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, GO Army Ed, Devry University, Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Argosy University, South University and Bellevue University were on hand to give out information and answer questions to help Soldiers and Family members.
While all vendors are important, the Army Reserve recovery care coordinator brings something new to the table.
"We assist wounded, ill and injured Soldiers; it can be any illness and injury, it doesn't necessary have to be combat related," explained Debbie Ewert, recovery care coordinator for the Army Reserve.
"Our main focus is TPU Soldiers ... we liaison between them and their units and assist them with a lot of different issues," Ewert said. " Such as line of duties ... We help them understand that they need an approved Line of Duty so they can possibly get medical care from the Military Medical Support Office so it doesn't have to come out of their pocket."
Understanding that every Soldier is different and may have a variety of serious medical issues, the recovery care coordinator assists the Soldier.
"We can also help them with active-duty medical extensions, or maybe something is bad enough that or long enough they need to be put into a Warrior Transition Unit," Ewert explained.
When Soldiers get the word that they have to deploy, the whole family must make sacrifices. However, there is comfort in knowing that they will not be forgotten.
"The families give so much, they sacrifice so much, from the children to the spouses, and all they have to encounter and deal with when our loved ones are deployed.. they are truly the heroes and backbone of our organization and we will not forget them," Castelveter concluded.

News Mayor Nickels Asks for Review of OPA Investigation
posted by June 20 at 20:40 PMon
Mayor Nickels has asked the Office of Professional Accountability's (OPA) new civilian director, Kathryn Olson, to reexamine the George Patterson's controversial OPA complaint and subsequent investigation. Olson will not be re-investigating the case but she will be reviewing what role Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske played in the investigation process.
Earlier this week, a leaked report by the Office of Professional Accountability Review Board charged that Kerlikowske repeatedly interfered in OPA's initial investigation, directing officers to obtain testimony from an unreliable witness and publicly exonerating officers Gregory Neubert and Michael Tietjen, prior to OPA finalizing its investigation.
As we said In this week's Stranger, this is exactly how the police oversight process is supposed to work. It's been a messy, complicated, frustrating couple of months but we're finally starting to see the those checks and balances work themselves out.
This is huge. As of yesterday, Nickels said he had absolute faith in Kerlikowske's ability to lead the police department. It appears Nickel's is softening his stance.
While Olson will be sending her review to Nickels, Kerlikowske is still her boss. That needs to change.

Outlier detection can usually be considered as a pre-processing step for locating, in a data set, those objects that do not conform to well-defined notions of expected behavior. It is very important in data mining for discovering novel or rare events, anomalies, vicious actions, exceptional phenomena, etc. We are investigating outlier detection for categorical data sets. This problem is especially challenging because of the difficulty of defining a meaningful similarity measure for categorical data. In this paper, we propose a formal definition of outliers and an optimization model of outlier detection, via a new concept of holoentropy that takes both entropy and total correlation into consideration. Based on this model, we define a function for the outlier factor of an object which is solely determined by the object itself and can be updated efficiently. We propose two practical 1-parameter outlier detection methods, named ITB-SS and ITB-SP, which require no user-defined parameters for deciding whether an object is an outlier. Users need only provide the number of outliers they want to detect. Experimental results show that ITB-SS and ITB-SP are more effective and efficient than mainstream methods and can be used to deal with both large and high-dimensional data sets where existing algorithms fail.

Oscars Red Carpet Trend: Beautiful and Belted
Belts can complete a gown on the red carpet. We spied quite a few of these finishing touches on the Oscars red carpet. Some belts blended in while others stood out. SJP's provided a smart detail over the intricate beading of her Dior couture gown. Ultimately, a belt helps emphasize one's womanly waist. What's not to love?

Cropping seems to start from the center of an image shooting outwards.
Can cropping commence from the TOP of the image instead?
This would be ideal in some portrait photos or website screenshots, where the top part should be part of the thumbnail.
A global setting to set this throughout the plugin would suffice.
Thank you!

"Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" hits theaters Friday, making it the latest in a pantheon of great NASCAR movies.
Well, there's really only one great NASCAR movie, but there are nine others worthy of a rental (if you can find them), so Ricky Bobby has to go a long way to make this race.
Sports movies in general are a minefield of clichés, bad scripts, inaccurate playing dynamics and near-constant waist-up nudity. That is when they are at their best. At their worst, you end up with "The Babe."
But some films transcend sports-movie insipidity to become more than a waste of two hours. Hockey still has the best movie behind it with "Slap Shot." Baseball has "Pride of the Yankees" and "61*." Even golf scores, with "Follow the Sun" and "Caddyshack." Football? If the best you've got is "The Program," stay out of serious film conversations. Hey, Hollywood, you want a great movie? Tackle the Tim Richmond story.
"Talladega Nights" might entertain. Or, as with most Will Ferrell movies, you saw the best three bits in the movie trailer and it will be an hour and 44 minutes of sheer stupidity and one minute of, "Oh, I guess I laughed hard enough to get my nine bucks' worth."
No, we didn't get invited to the Hollywood premiere. Why do you ask?
So here's ESPN.com's Semi-Official Top 11 NASCAR movies:
10B. "3: The Dale Earnhardt Story"
What it lacks in an original title (see entry No. 2) it makes up for in sheer earnestness. Man, is this flick earnest. Barry Pepper is good in just about anything, and we won't hold "Battlefield Earth" against him. He seems to capture about two-thirds of what made Earnhardt "The Intimidator." What's missing? The glint in Earnhardt's eye. Friends of E always talk about his impish side, and that's just not in here. And it is, of course, very difficult to make a great movie when everyone knows the outcome, unless you can persuade teenage girls to see it five times because some smooth-faced pretty boy lights up the screen. Pepper ain't that kind of attraction. Yeah, we know it was made by this network, but you find 11 better NASCAR movies and we'll give it the boot. Can't? Didn't think so.
ESPN.com's rating: Three Chevy Monte Carlos
10A. "Cars"
I expect more from Pixar (now a division of the Walt Disney Co., aka the people who give me a paycheck), but this movie didn't do it for me. Kind of funny, kind of touching, kind of cool. Measured against NASCAR movies, it's great. Measured against Pixar movies? It's well below "A Bug's Life."
ESPN.com's rating: Two Hot Wheels and a Tonka truck
9. "Six Pack"
How can you go wrong with Kenny Rogers (the singer) and Diane Lane? Well, for one thing, Diane Lane was only 17 at the time and none of us had any idea she would be Diane Lane! Anthony Michael Hall is also in this one, and the movie's worth a watch just to see all the actors you know. The title is also a suggestion of what you should drink before you hit "play."
ESPN.com's rating: Three tow trucks, plus a Corvette for Lane
8. "Greased Lightning"
Richard Pryor in a movie in which he isn't asked to be funny? The story of Wendell Scott, the first black driver in NASCAR history, is told straight and with some decent racing scenes.
ESPN.com's rating: Four '65 Ford Galaxies and a nod for getting the story out
7. "Days of Thunder"
So bad it's good; racing purists cringe at the utterance of its title. You can make a solid argument that this movie helped boost NASCAR into the stratosphere -- and that this was Tom Cruise being cool instead of weird. Never could figure out why Wesley from the "The Princess Bride" was cast as the smooth, handsome bad guy. Just hire Jeff Gordon.
ESPN.com's rating: One Monte Carlo and any three cars Nicole Kidman wants
6. "Stroker Ace"
Burt Reynolds when he was still sort of big (and a NASCAR owner), plus Loni Anderson, who was, ahem, big. And Jim Nabors as Jim Nabors, reprising the role he plays in every movie or TV show. Actually, Nabors is the crew chief. Yep, the crew chief. Dale Earnhardt, Neil Bonnett and Harry Gant show up. What this movie really needs, though, is Dom DeLuise.
ESPN.com's rating: Four Ford Pintos
5. "Red Line 7000"
Good luck finding this one. Some of the worst driving scenes ever shot. Why does it rate No. 5? Me and a buddy played a game to this one. Take a shot every time a driver does something that would bring out a black flag. You'll be out after the second racing scene, guaranteed. James Caan can't help this dog from 1965, and what the heck is George (Mr. Sulu) Takei doing in this? He was young and needed the money?
ESPN.com's rating: One Ford Mustang II
4. "Viva Las Vegas"
Is it really a NASCAR movie? Who cares, it has Elvis! Elvis has himself a hand-built car ready to enter the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but the rig needs an engine. I know! They'll gamble their way to enough money to get the engine, sing some dopey songs, dance like it's 1959 (it's 1964) and woo Ann-Margret. Hey, I'm still with him on the Ann-Margret part. Now, Elvis made a real NASCAR movie called "Speedway," but it co-stars Nancy Sinatra. We're sticking with the redhead.
ESPN.com's rating: A Thunderbird, two Pantera kit cars and a Lamborghini for Ann-Margret
3. "The Last American Hero"
This movie has six things I like more than a little: Jeff Bridges, writer Tom Wolfe, Ned Beatty, a Ford Mustang fastback, Gary Busey and moonshine. This film came on at least 15 times a week on local television when I was growing up, generally well past my bedtime. I watched it every chance I got, and it's probably what instilled a love for NASCAR in me. Bridges plays Junior Jackson, based on a magazine article written by Wolfe about Junior Johnson. It's a good movie, it's solid entertainment and it's true to life.
ESPN.com's rating: Four Mustang Shelby Cobras
2. "43: The Richard Petty Story"
So that's where the Earnhardt movie gets its name. Petty plays himself; the dad from "A Christmas Story" (Darren McGavin) plays Lee Petty. What it lacked in script and acting, it made up for with real NASCAR action from throughout Petty's career.
ESPN.com's rating: Five Plymouth Barracudas
1. "NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience"
Go see this. Some viewers left theaters feeling nauseated, the racing action was so up-close. It's the nearest most of us will ever come to going 185 mph fender-to-fender with the best.
ESPN.com's rating: Three Monte Carlos, two Ford Tauruses and a Dodge Intrepid

Tennessee: Safety Jason Allen will stay
for his senior season instead of heading to the NFL after leading
the SEC in tackles as a junior.
"I have made a decision to stay here at the University of
Tennessee another year," Allen said Thursday. "I feel like we're
going to definitely be one of the best teams out there in the
He had 123 tackles, two interceptions and forced three fumbles
this season. He was a third-team All-American and graduated in
Ohio State: Ohio State president Karen Holbrook has
appointed a 15-member search committee to find a replacement for
retiring athletic director Andy Geiger.
The university announced the committee Thursday.
The committee includes two athletes -- football player Brandon
Mitchell and volleyball player Jackie Schardt. Two-time Heisman
Trophy winner Archie Griffin, a longtime associate AD, is also on
the committee.
Geiger says he will step down on June 30th.
The committee's chairman is Joe Alutto, dean of Ohio State's
college of business. The coaches on the committee are men's
lacrosse coach Joe Breschi and women's soccer coach Lori Walker.
Tami Longaberger, chair of the board of trustees, is also on the
Holbrook also says a search firm has been hired to assist the
Colorado: One of the state's top high school players says he is headed to the Buffaloes.
Tailback Maurice Greer, who led Mullen to the Class 5A state
championship and rushed for more than 2,000 yards, made a verbal
commitment Tuesday.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Greer is ranked No. 13 among national
recruiting analyst Tom Lemming's top 25 tailbacks. He said the
biggest factors in his choice was playing near family and a
"trust" in coach Gary Barnett and the rest of the Colorado staff.
Grand jury materials ordered released to indicted recruiting aide: The only person indicted in the university's football scandal won the right to review all
materials from a grand jury that investigated the scandal but lost
a bid to have the case suspended based on alleged leaks from the
secret panel.
The materials ordered released could include transcripts of
conversations between prosecutors and grand jurors, testimony by
witnesses, and a fraud investigator's report on the CU athletic
department's finances and a private foundation.
Nathan Maxcey, 28, was charged with soliciting a prostitute and
embezzlement of public property by misusing his university-issued
cell phone. Maxcey, who flew in from Texas to attend the hearing,
did not enter a plea and refused to comment to reporters afterward.
"I don't know if there is any information in that material that
may be exculpatory for Mr. Maxcey," Maxcey's attorney Patrick
Mulligan argued before the judge. "But there is a great wealth of
additional (material) that I need to parse through to determine
what may or may not be relevant."
District Judge Daniel Hale ordered the material released under
seal, meaning only Mulligan and his investigators have access to
the information.
Arizona: Former Oklahoma quarterback and current
Sooners graduate assistant Josh Heupel has been hired as a full-time
assistant at Arizona.
Heupel confirmed the hiring in an interview with the Tulsa
World, Arizona head coach Mike Stoops, a former OU defensive
coordinator, will formally announce the hiring soon.
Heupel said he will coach tight ends and either offensive
tackles or fullbacks.
"The opportunity at Arizona is a unique one," Heupel said,
"and one I'm excited about.
"It's a place where I'll be able to go in and look for some
more ideas offensively with an upstart program."
Arizona was just 3-8 last season, Stoops' first, but won two of
its last three games, including an upset over ranked opponent Arizona
State in the season finale.
The Wildcats current recruiting class is ranked by some as among
the top 20 in the nation.
Heupel transferred to OU from Snow (Utah) Junior College and
after a 7-5 season in 1999 he led the Sooners to a 13-0 record and
the 2000 national championship. He still holds school records for
most 300-yard games (eight), 400-yard games (two) and consecutive
games with a touchdown pass (25).
LSU: Left offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth
has decided to stay for his senior season, forgoing a chance
to enter the NFL draft.
Whitworth said Wednesday that he was optimistic about new coach Les Miles' goals for the program -- and the commitment of the other
upcoming seniors. He said he made the decision after meeting with
Miles and talking with friends, family, an NFL advisory committee
and his teammates.
"It's definitely something we have on our minds, to be
successful, and we're going to make sure we get that done," said
Whitworth, a former standout at West Monroe High School.
Miles, who succeeded Nick Saban as LSU coach on Jan. 3, was
pleased by Whitworth's decision
"Anytime you postpone wealth for what is the common good of a
team, to extend a college career and enjoy college for another
year, to be a kid again and not have to worry about being a
paycheck guy, it takes a guy with real values, who understands
perspective and intangibles," Miles said after Whitworth made his
Alabama: Quarterback Spencer Pennington
is leaving the team to focus on baseball.
Pennington, the team's No. 3 quarterback at the start of the
season, started the final seven games after starter Brodie Croyle
and backup Marc Guillon were injured.
"We went our separate ways, but in a positive manner,"
Pennington said Wednesday. "They were very supportive."
Pennington, a first baseman-outfielder, was redshirted in
baseball last season after separating his throwing shoulder and has
three years of eligibility left. He turned down a six-figure
signing bonus after being drafted by the Chicago Cubs.
Utah State: Coach Brent Guy has hired Greg
Stevens and Vance Vice as assistants.
Stevens has spent the last four seasons as offensive coordinator
and receivers coach at Stephen F. Austin under former coach Mike
Santiago, the Aggies' new offensive coordinator.
Stevens will coach receivers at Utah State.
Stevens grew up in Ephraim, Utah, and played quarterback at Snow
College and Eastern Oregon.
Stevens has also coached at Snow College, Eastern Arizona and
Mesa State.
Vice played tight end at Oklahoma State when Guy was an
assistant coach for the Cowboys. He will coach Utah State's
offensive line after spending six years at Illinois State.
Vice has also coached at Murray State and Clemson.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

This live-action short film series by Benjamin Combes captures that terror in a way non-players can understand. There are the screenshots you see while browsing the internets, and then there's the Minecraft that goes on inside the heads of its players. Those simple graphics leave plenty to players' imaginations, and in many cases what those minds fill in looks an awful lot like what Combes captures in Minecraft Day Two. Oh, you've never seen Minecraft Day One, the first video in the series in which a man wakes up in a strange world and must use the tools he can either scrounge or build to survive? Pity, it was really good. Advertisement Oh fine, here. In fact, you might want to watch this one first just to get an idea of what the hell is going on. I'll be spending the rest of the afternoon reading about bright and happy things so that Enderman doesn't show up in my nightmares later. Minecraft Day Two [YouTube] Reply44 repliesLeave a reply

Subdivisions of Helsinki
The city of Helsinki, the capital of Finland, can be divided into various sorts of subdivisions. The subdivisions include neighbourhoods, districts, major districts and postal code areas. The plethora of different official ways to divide the city is a source of some confusion to the inhabitants, as different kinds of subdivisions often share similar or identical names.
Helsinki is divided into 59 neighbourhoods (kaupunginosa in Finnish; stadsdel in Swedish). The division into neighbourhoods is the official division created by the city council and used for city planning and other similar purposes. Most of the neighbourhoods have existed since the 19th century as numbered parts of the city, and official names were assigned to them in 1959. Five neighbourhoods (numbers 55 – 59) were annexed on 1 January 2009.
Today, each neighbourhood is identified by both a two-digit number between 01 and 59 and an official name in both Finnish and Swedish (in some cases they may be identical). Neighbourhoods are further divided into quarters (osa-alue) and sectors (pienalue), numbered with three and four digits respectively. Sectors divide further into individual blocks and properties.
List of Helsinki neighbourhoods[edit]
Finnish names first and the Swedish names in brackets. This due to the bilinguality of Finland and Helsinki.
In addition to the neighbourhood division, which exists for city planning purposes, the city is also divided into 33 districts (peruspiiri, distrikt) to facilitate the coordination of public services. The districts, which may comprise several neighbourhoods, are organised into seven major districts (suurpiiri, stordistrikt). Different quarters of a neighbourhood may belong to different districts, but individual quarters are never divided between neighbourhoods.
The district division was created by a decision of the city council on 13 December 1982, when the number of different subdivisions used by different municipal departments was seen as confusing and problematic. Before the reform, in 1980, there were 101 different divisions used by the departments, of which only 17 corresponded to the official neighbourhood division. The new districts came to use within all providers of public services by 1986.
List of Helsinki districts[edit]
Other subdivisions[edit]
Helsinki is also often unofficially divided into four distinct geographic areas. These have no absolute definitions, but they are roughly as follows.
- Central Helsinki: the southern major district (except Lauttasaari) and the southern part of the central major district.
- West Helsinki: the western major district plus Lauttasaari.
- North Helsinki: the northern and northeastern major districts and the northern part of the central major district.
- East Helsinki: the eastern and southeastern major districts.
The city is also divided into postal code areas numbered between 10 and 99. Postal codes for private residences in Helsinki have the form 00xx0, where the initial '00' shows that the postal code is located in Helsinki, the next two digits show the postal code area, and the final zero indicates that the code is for a private residence (post offices use the number one, and other numbers are set aside for large businesses that have their own postal codes). (See also Postal codes in Finland.)

The name of my site is Three Rivers Performing Arts. The hum theme puts each word right under the previous one which makes the site title 4 lines long.
That results in the left side menu links not fitting on the page, and scrolling down is not an option. That is a fixed size.
My idea was to reduce the px size of the Site title. However, I don't know how to do that.
Otherwise, is there another solution?
I should add that it looks great on some screens, but on small screens like a macbook or my chromebook, the menu is obscured by the dimensions of the screen.

I have a 3 year old Toshiba Satellite A305-S6857 an it came pre-installed with Windows Vista. (Quite the bummer I know). However through school I was able to upgrade my OS to Windows 7.
However in the process something funky happened: I completely lost the driver for the functionality of my webcam. I tried calling Toshiba and much to my surprise, Warranty is out so all they could tell me to do was to download the drivers from their site. This unfortunately did not work as they did not have the appropriate driver for my webcam.
After extensive search online I found the driver for my webcam. I installed it on my laptop hoping that this would restore my functionality. Unfortunately every time I try to start up the webcam with the software I get the following message...
Webcam is either disabled or has failed. Please check your webcam setting.
How do I even begin to check its settings if the computer doesn't even recognize the webcam within the device manager. Any suggestions on what I could do to restore the functionality of the webcam?
