River Bluffs Paint Out, a three-day plein air painting event, is set for Friday, June 2, in Canton, Mo., Saturday, June 3, in Quincy, Ill., and Sunday June 4, in Hannibal.
Artists will work outdoors, capturing impressions of their surroundings — landscape and architectural features of each city.
The event will take place rain or shine. Each day a professional artist will judge the submitted work and awards will be presented. Daily cash awards will be $500 for first place, $250 for second place and $150 for third place. A reception will be held each day for participating artists, and a separate reception and exhibit of the day's works will be open to the public.
Rules for the inaugural River Bluffs Paint Out allow acceptance of up to 30 artists daily. Each day, 7 to 9 a.m., before starting work, artists must bring canvases and/or papers to a designated check-in location to receive the day's stamp, which is required for the work to be entered into the day's competition.
Check-in locations, which will remain open throughout the day, will include water, restrooms and tables for artwork preparation. Deadline for entering the day's contest will be 4 p.m. Judging will begin at 5 p.m. and at 5:45 p.m. private selections by purchase award patrons will take place. The public exhibit and reception open at 6:30 p.m.; award announcements will be at 7 p.m. Sales to the public during the exhibit and reception will be encouraged; each artist will conduct individual sales.
On-site registration will be $30.
Check-in locations are 4th Street Warehouse at 112 N. 4th St., Canton; Washington Theater, 427 Hampshire, Quincy; and Hannibal Arts Council, 105 S. Main, Hannibal. Information is available at showmecanton.com. The event is sponsored by Hannibal Arts Council, Illinois Arts Council, Missouri Arts Council, Canton Mo Tourism Commission, Canton Main Street Association and Culver-Stockton College.
National Tom Sawyer Days originated in 1956 with the first Tom Sawyer fence-painting contest sponsored by the Hannibal Jaycees and the first Tom and Becky contest sponsored by the Hannibal Chamber of Commerce. The original event took place in May and was an outgrowth of a tour of 1,200 St. Louis children sponsored by KETC-TV, a St. Louis-based educational TV station.
The contests were planned to add color to the event. In 1959, the event was moved to July 4 when Independence Day was proclaimed "Tom Sawyer Days" through a joint proclamation of Hannibal Mayor Clyde Toalson, Missouri Gov. James T. Blair and Illinois Gov. William Stratton. Moving the event combined all of the Tom Sawyer activities with the Hannibal Jaycees' annual fireworks display, creating one grand holiday.
In 1961, National Tom Sawyer Days was born through a joint congressional resolution sponsored by Missouri U.S. Sens. Stuart Symington and Edward Long and Missouri U.S. Rep. Clarence Cannon. The chartering resolution stated the celebration is dedicated to the recognition of that most lovable, yet unpredictable phenomenon of our American society, the small boy and his fascination for the big river as immortalized by Mark Twain. Here, amid the echoes of the Tom Sawyers and Huck Finns of Samuel Clemens' day as the events of the past are re-enacted, people discover that the charm preserved by the author still lives in every boy or everyone who ever was a boy.
The fence-painting contest is the core event of National Tom Sawyer Days and includes several days of events. All local contestants compete in the first event to advance to the national contest. A second event is held for contestants from all across Missouri who advance to compete in the national contest. The national event is the final event. The winner of the national event receives the governor's trophy, which may be presented to his state's governor and displayed in the state capitol for one year. The trophy is returned each year for the next contest.
The national fence-painting contest is a three-part event with contestants receiving points for authenticity of costume, speed and painting quality. Contestants are encouraged to read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" to attempt to capture a realistic look for their costume. These areas are judged by local dignitaries, distinguished guests and the previous year's champion.
The fifth annual Missouri vs. Illinois All-Star Baseball Game will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 22, at Clemens Field, 403 Warren Barrett Drive. If conditions are poor Saturday, the game will be moved to Sunday, July 23.
Admission at the gate will be $8, and ages 5 and younger will be admitted free. Gates will open at 6 p.m.
The game will feature the top 40 seniors representing 22 high schools from Hannibal, Quincy, Ill., and the surrounding areas.
The game is sponsored by Benson Financial Group of Hannibal and Shottenkirk Toyota and Refreshment Services Pepsi, both of Quincy.

In July 1867, in a small, three-room cottage on Denkler's Alley in Hannibal, a child was born. John and Johanna Tobin welcomed their daughter, whom they named Margaret, into their growing household which included two older daughters, Katie and Mary Ann, and a son, Daniel. Katie, the oldest of the Tobin children, was thrilled with her new baby sister and immediately formed a close bond that would endure throughout their lifetimes.
Who could have known that this small, red-haired baby would one day live a life of wealth, adventure, political and philanthropic pursuits and heroism that the Tobin family could have never dreamed? Who would have thought the legendary life of Margaret Tobin, better known as the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown, would continue to be celebrated nearly a century after her death?
Although the exact date is not certain, scholars believe that Margaret's birth date was July 18, 1867; this year marks the 150th anniversary of her birth. Margaret lived in the little cottage on Denkler's Alley until the spring of 1886, when, as a plucky 18-year-old, she boarded a train at Hannibal's Union Depot and made her way to the mountains of Colorado to live with her older brother, Daniel. Margaret dreamed of a life beyond the restraints she felt in Hannibal. Being poor, Irish and female, she faced virtually no opportunities to rise above her socioeconomic class. Margaret had big ideas, big dreams and a big personality, all of which required broader horizons than the one she was raised near along the shores of the Mississippi River.
To learn more about the amazing life of Margaret Tobin Brown, people should visit the Molly Brown Birthplace and Museum in Hannibal. The cottage on Denkler's Alley demonstrates not only the conditions in which the Tobin family lived during America's Reconstruction after the Civil War, but also houses exhibits detailing her life in Colorado, her marriage to James Joseph Brown, the circumstances surrounding his sudden wealth in the gold mines of the Rocky Mountains, and, of course, her heroism during the sinking of Titanic in 1912.
This summer, to commemorate Molly's 150th Birthday, the Muny Opera in St. Louis will stage a production of "The 'Unsinkable' Molly Brown," running July 21 to 27. Although this musical is a highly fictionalized version of the life of Margaret Tobin Brown, Lisa Marks said it would be her honor to join Margaret's great-granddaughter, Helen Benziger, at the opening night performance. At the request of the staff of the Muny Opera, they have been invited to participate in events to share the remarkable true story of Margaret Tobin Brown's life and legacy – which, of course, began in a small three-room cottage in Hannibal.

Hannibal Regional Intensive Care Unit recently received a Top Performance Award from the Society of Critical Care Medicine's ICU Liberation Campaign.
The ICU Liberation ABCDEF Bundle Improvement Collaborative has teamed up with 77 U.S. ICUs committed to improving outcomes for patients and families by reliably implementing the A-F Bundle. Participating hospitals work with a team of leading national and regional experts to:
• Optimize pain control and reduce sedative exposure and time on mechanical ventilation.
• Increase length of time that patients are free of delirium and coma.
• Improve team approach to early mobilization.
• Engage families to participate in the care and healing of their loved ones.
• Validate compliance and improvement through use of an online data collection tool.
• Enhance teamwork through implementation of evidence-based care.
• Engage with many leading experts who have demonstrated improved patient outcomes through the ABCDEF bundle of care.
• Create partnerships with other institutions doing the same improvement work across the United States.
The ABCDEF elements are as follows:
A : Assess, prevent and manage pain.
B : Both SAT (spontaneous awakening trials) and SBT (spontaneous breathing trials).
C : Choice of analgesia and sedation.
D : Delirium — Assess, prevent and manage.
E : Early mobility and exercise.
F : Family engagement and empowerment.
Within the ABCDEF bundle, the "C" element — choice of analgesia and sedation — focuses on constructing a safe and effective medication regimen for the management of pain and agitation in critically ill adults, consistent with ICU pain, agitation and delirium recommendations.
Hannibal Regional was awarded the Top Team Performance Award for the "C" element.
Dr. Pranav Parikh, ICU medical director and administrative leader of the ICU Liberation group, said, "We are happy to have achieved excellence for the 'C' element, and continue to strive for excellence in the other five elements." Despite the conclusion of the collaborative, work will continue on all elements.

Ride Cool at the Ramp Park is returning Saturday, July 15.
The Hannibal Parks & Recreation Department and Hannibal Clinic Health Services will start providing helmets to the first 100 attendees at 10 a.m.
Entry to the park will be free throughout the day.
"We are looking forward to collaborating with the Ramp Park community to host a unique summer event that will celebrate their athleticism and skills," said Mary Lynne Richards of Hannibal Parks and Recreation. "And the energy from the crowd really helps pump up the competitors."
Blake Robertson, 18, of Hannibal, plans to compete.
"Ride Cool gives you something to work toward, something to compete in to see how much you've progressed," said Robertson, who added he loves going to Ramp Park. "It's a good way to burn off energy with your friends."
Richards said, "It's a fun spirit at the Ramp Park. They really look out for each other and are always encouraging each other."
Registration for skateboard, scooter and bike competitions begins at noon, and competition starts at 1 p.m. Master of ceremonies will be Casey Otto of P9 Entertainment.
Prizes for the competition will be provided by Coolbyke Bicycle Shop and Pedal'rs Bicycle Shop.

The Ramp Park concession stand will be open, along with the Pepsi Wagon.
The final two productions of the season at Bluff City Theater present different perspectives on family yet arrive at a similar conclusion — family has a way of pulling people back no matter what.
Perhaps it is because both plays are considered autobiographical depictions of the authors' lives. Separated by half a century and an entire continent, two authors — one male, one female — sought to bring meaning to the bond defined by who we are and from where we came.
"Emily: The Musical" is based on the series of novels by Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery. Emily longs to escape her island home and become a great writer. As she is buffeted by fate and failure, she realizes her home and family are the bedrock upon which her dreams are built. It is only when she writes about them that her writing shines. "Emily" is a warm, uplifting ode that aims to make us feel glad to be alive and to have people we love and who love us back.
In "The Glass Menagerie," Tom, also a writer, yearns to escape his life of factory work, a dramatic mother and emotionally fragile sister. Tom escapes but is pulled back over and over again in his mind. The play is based on Tennessee Williams' life. His bittersweet story is about people trapped by the same love and inability to be honest.
Bluff City Theater has assembled a creative team and cast to present these two stories.
Jennifer Stewart ("The Heiress," "Best of Enemies") returns to direct "Emily: The Musical." Stewart, an accomplished musical theater performer, has come full circle as she appeared in the original Canadian production of this adaptation in 2002 as Ilse Burnley. Supported by Musical Director Colin Healy ("C'est la Vie") and Choreographer David Jamieson ("Oliver!," "Alice in Wonderland"), she will direct a cast of 16 performers, including members of the Bluff City Theater Young Company, drawn from local amateurs.
This is the American premiere of "Emily: The Musical." Performances run June 29 to July 8.
Director Sydnie Grosberg Ronga, well known to New York and St. Louis theater-goers for her critically acclaimed work, will direct "The Glass Menagerie," her first production with Bluff City Theater. She brings a fresh insight into Williams' masterpiece with a decidedly younger cast than has been traditionally seen in professional theater. In Grosberg Ronga's vision, Tom is in his mid-20s, Amanda her mid-40s and their dynamic is complex. Amanda, who sees the world through rose-colored glasses, cannot imagine why Tom chafes at being expected to stand in for his long-absent father.
"The Glass Menagerie" opens in preview on July 20 and runs until July 29.

Featured member artist Debra Myers brings a love of color and fluidity to a wide range of media: watercolor, print-making, acrylic, oil, pastel and encaustic. When looking at her portraits, landscapes and abstracts, it feels as though you are entering into a story — an open-ended invitation to join the scene being offered to you. Her work has a soft yet vivid quality. She moves so deftly from medium to medium because she teaches her students at Culver-Stockton College to do the same.
She never doubted her passion for art, even as a child. English assignments became illustrated adventures; math allowed boredom to be endured by artistic compromise. Her parents, who never had the opportunity to go to college, were aghast at her desire to choose such an ill-fated major as art. Even extended family, friends and neighbors saw little benefit for a first-generation college student to study art.
Adjusting to the practicalities of life, and her parents' wishes, she garnered K-12 education credentials and still wanted to be a pure artist. One day during her mother's vigorous spring cleaning, she brought the subject up.
"I want to get a master's degree in art," she said to her mother. This time her mother said, "You need to do what's right for you."
It became, perhaps, the most important blessing of her life, as her mother suddenly passed away the next day. And Debra, having her mother's blessing, returned to college, got her MFA and ventured into a fulfilling life as an artist — and a teacher. She did not leave teaching behind. In fact, this year she won Culver-Stockton College's Helsabeck Award for Teaching. Perhaps she was honored because she touches her students lives at every juncture whether it is in the studio, preparing for a Culver-Stockton gallery art exhibit, supporting an independent study or simply being there the way her teachers, and her mother, were once there for her.
An opening reception will be at Alliance Art Gallery 5 to 8 p.m. July 8. The reception coincides with the Hannibal Second Saturday Gallery Night.

When you think of the Fourth of July, you think of our nation's birthday and everything that goes with it. It is a call of celebration.
This day is dedicated to our freedom gained at the blood of our forefathers to end Britian's rule while obtaining our independence. We became a sovereign nation responsible for our own successes and failures. The Constitution was drawn and a Declaration of Independence was proclaimed. A rag-tag army of poorly trained, poorly fed and poorly equipped settlers, farmers, sailors, tradesmen and businessmen amassed forces and defeated the most powerful army of the time.
This country was founded on fortitude, blood, sweat and a human will to succeed. Thanks to their endeavors, our flags of freedom still wave 241 years later. Today we still stand tall as a nation. Thank you, patriots.
Patriotism is still alive and well. Many people have no idea what patriotism really is. It is often taken for granted, or it goes unnoticed. A veteran recognizes patriotism. The American veteran is the heartbeat of patriotism.
Patriotism presents itself in various forms in this great nation. A Fourth of July parade honoring our independence and our veterans is patriotic. Patriotism is also the little child waving a tiny American flag at an event. It is people who volunteer to organize, fund and escort Honor Flights for our aging veterans. It is monuments erected to memorialize our warriors. It is the family that has an American flag in its yard or on the porch every day of the year commemorating the sacrifice of our warriors both alive and deceased. It is children child saying the Pledge of Allegiance with a hand over their hearts. It is the man who removes his hat with his hand on his heart when a flag is unfurled. It is a soldier's salute to our flag. It is also the young men and women who enlist in our armed services to protect our homeland against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Patriotism is also the widow presented with a blanket placed atop her husband's grave in Arlington National Cemetery, crying as her children hug the white cross headstone of their fallen warrior. Patriotism is also women like Mrs. Sullivan from Waterloo, Iowa, who lost five sons during the dark days of World War II in a matter of moments while they selflessly sacrificed their lives for our nation.
Patriotism is far more than a word. It is a tribute to all who have sacrificed so we may enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." We continue to this very day to see those dedicated to the success of this great nation while many others try to tear it down.
I am beyond thankful to be born an American. I am proud of my father who served in two wars, my brother-in-law who served in Vietnam and my son who served in the 27th Fighter Tactical Wing of Spec Ops. All veterans are heroes today and forever.
I just ask that this year that you enjoy festivities and celebrate with your friends and families. I just request that you to please take a moment to remember the real meaning of this holiday. Share the meaning with the young people in your lives as an act of rememberance. Many of your countrymen are buried on foreign soil, never to return home to their loved ones so you and your family may live in freedom's glorious light.
God bless our veterans, our country, our freedoms, and Old Glory — long may she wave. Happy Fourth of July, Americans!

If you use a PC and a games console you have probably noticed how much more comfortable gaming is with a controller than with a keyboard and mouse. PlayStation 3 consoles in particular have custom designed controllers that have been conceived and developed for PS3 owners to get the most out of games without putting too much strain on their hands and arms. Given that many games are also available for PC, it would make sense for a standard PC game controller to be developed.
Does this work for every title?
Not natively, but there's software that you can get that will make it work in every game.
I use my PS3 controller for racing games.
Thanks, I'll definitely try this out since I'm getting back into PC gaming.
My brother initially didnt like gaming on PC because he liked the PS3 controller. However ever since we installed motionjoy he loves gaming on PC now. Buys all his multiplat games on PC.
Feels like playing on a PS3 with steroids as if it just has so much more muscle while playing the game with everything running in 1080p 60fps and a ton of AA.
I use my second ds3 constantly on PC with this
It says there is no standard controller and while technically true, The 360 controller is really becoming a standard for a large amount of games. It also works perfectly on PC wirelessly with a cheap dongle. That is a real boon for playing in front of a HDTV from a sofa.
It is the best controller if you want plug and play, simply because a raft of top titles recognise it instantly and configure themselves automatically. Most racing and sports titles do and others including: Crysis, Fifa, Pro Evo, Red Faction Guerilla, Batman AA, F1 2010, Burnouts, Need for speeds, Hitman, Assassins creeds, Many source games now like Left 4 Dead 2 allow it to be selected, Prince of Persia, Metro 2033, Just Cause 2, H.A.W.X, Lost planet, Dead Rising, Fallout, Split second, Blur, GTA4, Dirt series, GRID, COD: Black ops, Mafia 2 etc etc just a small selection here from well over 200 games...This also means it mostly has rumble support for these games too, while other third party pads like the DS3 do not.
Using a Ps3 controller if you prefer it or do not have access to a 360 pad is a good way to save some money too. However if you are going to be playing Pc games long term and need a pad, the 360 pad is really the one you would probably want to get familiar with and spend the money on as its worth it, i strongly recommend it.
I prefer the PS3 controller, but the 360 controller is good too, and works natively with most new PC games, so thats what I use.
i play emulators (SNEs, n64, PS1)with a ps3 controller.
Just go on youtube and watch how to connect ps3 controller to your PC. It really easy, don't fear that it would be too complicated for u or anything.
Yeah, this is old. I've been using my DS3 to play DMC3 or RE4 on PC. Still clunky though since im using another program that cant really use the accuracy of the sticks properly.
At the momment i am playing Just Cause 2 with DS3, emulating 360 controller via Motionjoy...
Nice and easy ;-)
Thanks. I'll look into this MotioninJoy.
I tried doing this a while back, but it was weird. I need to try again.
MotionJoy doesn't really make a difference, Thanatos. I tried MotionJoy on several titles with my DS3, and they all felt clunky and inaccurate compared to the ps3 versions of the game.
I use my wired 360 controller. But only for side scroller games/emulators.
I'll have to give this a try with my PS3 controller.
Motionjoy is a good Program to use DS3 Controller on Windows for Games.
Also, you can use PS Move on Windows.
For those that are not as good with mouse and keyboard as they are with gamepad then its great.
Used it to play Mass Effect2 on my laptop. But there is software to custom program the buttons and even keep profiles for different games, etc. It works pretty well. I haven't tried it with W7 yet, but I am glad someone reports that it works fine.
I'd recommend giving keyboard and mouse a go again for games like ME2, hotkeys are invaluable!
well there is a program to make it seem like its and xbox controller and it works like a charm actualy 95%of my games let me use my controller
its called motionjoy. Emulates the PS3 controller as it were 360 controller works like a charm.
If I do this will my controller continue to work for my PS3, or do I have to buy a new controller?
ull just need to resync it with your PS3. no reason why it wont work with your PS3.
When I unplug my PS3 controller from my PC, it automatically turns on my PS3 for some reason. Just a bit of proof that it still works with my PS3 after :)
If you don't want it to automatically turn on your PS3, make sure you Bluetooth pair it to your PC even if you don't have Bluetooth.
That way it will remain un-synced from your PS3 until you plug it back into your PS3.
I just tried playing San Andreas on my laptop. It didnt work so great. It didnt recognize most of the buttons
That's because sanandreas was realesed before the time xbox controller became recognised on pc. Any game from this gen will work fine.
I play all GTA's with a DS3 controller, with no problems at all, only GTA 1 have some issues.
I bought the Steam GTA collection, and they all work with DS3, so i gues your controller isen't calibrated...
Be careful, your controller could stop working. This was probably just a very rare occurence for me, but my controller was f*cked up after using it on my pc.
Now, it only works when it's plugged in through the usb cable. It wont work wirelessly at all, I've tried replacing the battery with one that I know works, and it was still messed up. Also tried pressing that reset button in the back of the DS3, but that didn't do anything either.
Maybe I'm just incredibly unlucky, but just understand that you might be risking your controller by using it in a PC.
Dude it will still work on your ps3.
Don't worry you won't have to buy another controller.
Just use the 360 controller!
Its made for it & its better anyway...
On the PC platform we actually have something called "options".
People can play the way the like be it:
720p or some uber res like 5760*1080.
Mouse + KB, 360 controller or the DS3.
It only does everything.
except it's not better .
The only thing it could be better for are fps , and we've got keyboards and mouses for that .
And like said above , options are there for a reason
Yeah with the pc hooked to the plasma in dual screen , it's a great experience .
For fighting games most arcade sticks are detected without the need of addition software or drivers (at the very least the Hori works perfectly) .
The only annoying thing is for the few games that dont support the pads . There are progs like Joy2key to map the pad as key/mouse , but i dont find it usually good and smooth enough .
Full on pad support is the way
I also use my PS3 controller on some PC games :D
I use it when I play Fifa 11, Grid and bunch of emulators. PS3 controller is perfect for N64 :D
Not really. I tried it with the N64 and it just confused the hell out of me.
Maybe because I never really played the N64 as a kid.
I used MotionJoy to hook my DS3 into my PC. Used DS3 for games like Batman AA and DMC4.
I used my DS3 controller on my laptop to play PoP The Two Thrones and Burnout Paradise. I liked it, works great.
I have vista btw.
Been using this for awhile, works well.
Rumble works really well.
Its nice for a few games, or when i want to play on my tv.
"you have probably noticed how much more comfortable gaming is with a controller than with a keyboard and mouse."
this sentence is fail.
how exactly? using your thumbs is a hell of a lot easier than the wsad.
not when you're used to keyboard and mouse..
..............darkdoom3000, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a opinion or rather a fact. Everyone in this site is now dumb for having to read your reply. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Obviously you can't come up with a real reply so you come and retaliate with a brick of insignificant text.

@Darkdoom3000: Using your thumbs maybe easier if you don't have 8 other fingers on your hands. And believe it or not, those 8 other fleshy things hanging off your hands are f-i-n-g-e-r-s.
*All joking aside*
Personally, I hate scrolling through weapon wheels to get what I want. Hot-key everything, and forget about it.
Just don't forget your hot-keys.
we're talking about what is more comfortable. A controller is made with comfort in mind.
kb/m is a lot more practical and has advantages. but a controller is more comfortable. (unless you get one of thoes nifty curved bump keyboards.)
I'm not sure about you Dark, but I have a pretty nice keyboard and mouse. Only after very, very long gaming sessions do I get tired or start to feel uncomfortable. I like being able to have my hands spaced out a bit. Nothing beats a game pad/mouse combo, imo,
While I like both inputs and am becoming more of a PC gamer, I still prefer a controller and think I will always be that way. I feel more immersed with a controller, feels more like I'm carrying out the actions of the game instead of telling a character to do so.
I'm amazed by the lack of elitists saying mouse and keyboard forever. All I see is well backed up conversation and debate.
Great job N4G community!
I've already done this but this is a great piece of Chinese third-party software here. Unfortunately for us PC gamers, more and more titles today are being ported without much thought to changing the control scheme in any real way. This was great for me since I already own a PS3 for MGS4 and Blu-Rays, and I didn't want to shell out 60 bucks for an xbox gamepad.
"If you use a PC and a games console you have probably noticed how much more comfortable gaming is with a controller than with a keyboard and mouse".
NO I haven't. If it's a PC specific game the KB/M is the only way to go and is very comfortable for me no matter if i'm at my desk or on the couch. If you think about it your hands are naturally at your sides which is almost the same distance as using a KB/M unlike a controller where your hands and arms are bent inwards 6 inches apart.
Now if it's a console port and I'm playing on the PC then yeah I'll break out my PS3 or Logitech controller. This PS3 controller hack has been out almost as long as the Ps3.

Radiohead To Start Work On New Album In September
Listen to Radiohead Radio on iHeartRadio
Radiohead will supposedly be hitting the studio soon to begin work on their ninth album.
Guitarist Jonny Greenwood tells BBC Radio 6 Music he and his mates are "going to start up in September." He says they plan to do a little "playing, rehearsing and recording" so they can "see how it's sounding."
When the band does finally come out with a new album, it will be their first since 2011's The King of Limbs.
The members of Radiohead haven't been dormant during the entire interim. Greenwood scored Paul Thomas Anderson's film The Master, frontman Thom Yorke released an album and toured with Atoms for Peace, and drummer Phil Selway recorded his second solo album, which is due out in October.

Start by kneading the fondant – the warmth of your hands should soften hardened fondant. If it's very hard, you may need to do this in small amounts, then combine all the softened pieces. If your fondant feels dried out, knead in small amounts of vegetable shortening.

Brady's Missing Super Bowl Jersey Found in Mexico
Jerseygate is over: Tom Brady's missing Super Bowl jersey has been found, Fox Sports reports. The jersey, which went missing from the locker room after the Patriots won the big game, was valued at $500,000.
In a series of tweets, Fox Sports' NFL Insider Jay Glazer reveals that the jersey was found "on foreign soil," which would explain why the FBI had gotten involved in finding it; the New York Times reports that the jersey was found in Mexico, along with Brady's Super Bowl jersey from two years ago.
"The items were found in the possession of a credentialed member of the international media," says an NFL rep. Glazer says he'll later reveal more of the "wild story" on Fox.

by Vaughn Ohlman of True Love Doesn't Wait - Giving our daughters to imperfect young men As harsh and unfeeling as it sounds to our ears, a daughter is not seen in Scripture as a rose to be hidden under glass, but a gift to be given. Her fruitfulness is frequently mentioned, her delicate sensibilities less so. She is seen as at her best when rising to a difficult task, not when tenderly sheltered. And the entire focus of Scripture is not on her father, but on her husband. How then can it be the role of that father to refuse to give her to that husband? … [Read more...]

The facts revealed in the address of Damascus that glance at the destiny of the Islamic world after the Hijri 1371... maybe not now but 30-40 years later, in order to fully equip science and, knowledge acquired through arts, science and skills, the goodness of civilization and those three forces, and to overcome the nine obstacles, He sent inclination for investigating the truth, moderation and love for human beings to the fronts of those nine foes. By Allah's Will, He will demolish them AFTER HALF A CENTURY. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, The Damascus Sermon, p. 25)
IN [13]71, THE SUN BEGAN TO RISE (al-Fajr as-Sadiq)or will begin to rise. Even if this is only the initial redness in the horizon (al-Fajr al-Kazib), IN 30-40 YEARS AL-FAJR AS-SADIQ WILL APPEAR.(Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, The Damascus Sermon, p. 23)
1371 + 30 = 1401 = 1981
1371 + 40 = 1411 = 1991
Our Master's century is the most honorable of all honorable centuries. Why? Because this is the time in which our Master lives. It is the century when all the shames of all demons, antichrists, those who block the path of Allah, unbelievers, the hypocrites come to an end, and HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) SHALL BE READY IN THE TWO THOUSANDS AND THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) SHALL RETURN TO EARTH FROM THE HEAVEN IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY.
THAT IS OUR BELIEF NOW. MORE THAN HALF THAT CENTURY WILL ACQUIRE HONOR THROUGH THE PRESENCE OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) AND THE PROPHET JESUS (AS). Be alert! (Sheikh Nazim Adil al-Qubrusi al-Haqqani / Cyprus)
KHADIM – UL FUQARA ABDULLAH GURBUZ (Haci Abdullah Baba of Nevsehir)
Our Master Abdullah Gurbuz called this servant to him at 06.30 on the morning OF THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE MONTH OF MUHARRAM, IN OTHER WORDS 1 MARCH, IN THE YEAR 2004. I said to him, "My brothers have questions they would like to ask. With your permission, I would like to ask them." "Of course, my son, ask" he replied. "Will we live to see the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as), the Messenger, and be their soldiers?" AND HE SAID, "INSHA'ALLAH, YOU WILL LIVE TO JOIN THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) AND HAZRAT MAHDI (AS), THE MESSENGER…"
"There are various accounts regarding Effendi Baba's [Ali Haydar Effendi's] wish to extend his greeting and oath of allegiance to Hazrat Mahdi (as). We have heard it from the dervish. A representative of the late Hasan Burkay, one of the great scholars who studied with EfFendi Baba, related that EfFendi Baba pointed to the '80s as the date of the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as)."
This century will be the century of Islam.It is certain that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come. Some people attach little importance to this. That is very wrong. I have heard it myself from many elders. There are many hadiths on the subject. Belief in the Mahdi (as) is that a great scholar and imam from the line of our Prophet (saas) will unite all Muslims before the Day of Judgment and struggle with members of superstitious faiths (will wage an intellectual struggle against them). Then with the dominion of Islam, all superstitious faiths will lose all their existence in terms of knowledge and prestige…
During the course of a conversation one day, Abubakr Sidik Corumi was speaking of the Mahdi, the Messenger, and he pointed to Haci Mustafa Efendi of Corum, a young man of only 18 from that community, and said, "WE WILL NOT SEE THE MAHDI, THE MESSENGER, BUT THE DERVISHES OF THIS YOUNG MAN WILL SEE HIM."
During his conversations, Tahir Buyukkorukcu of Konya (himself one of the greatest admirers of Sami Effendi) said that he asked his teacher when happy days would come, and he said, "Oh Tahir, I will not see those days, but you will not die without seeing them."
One of our teachers serving in Beykoz related that Haci Osman Hulusi, a resident of Beykoz, said that "THE STAR OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WAS BORN IN THE SUMMER OF '82."
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will bring about Islamic Union and will bring all Muslims together.If a person bears a sign of being a Muslim, he will rule that he is a believer. He will look at everyone in terms of faith. Because being a believer means to have faith. According to the Qur'an, "Believers are brothers." Hazrat Mahdi (as) will base himself upon that verse, regard believers as brothers and advance toward Islamic Union.
Therefore, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will support the members of all sacred religions against the tide of irreligion…By the 1980s we saw no more leaders dragging masses of people in their wake, as if suns were sunk and only stars remained. Because in 1980, we entered the 15th Hijri century. We were at the beginning of the century. The important figures of that century were still just children or in their youth... But the year two thousand is very important.
He asks questions like, 'Will we see the Mahdi? What duties will the Mahdi have? What will the Mahdi be like? The Master said, "I WILL NOT SEE THE MAHDI (AS), KECELI, BUT YOU WILL SEE HIM."He tapped me on my head. He then said, "THE MAHDI'S (AS) PROGRAM WILL BE THE RISALE-I NUR." "He will apply the Risale-I Nur." OF COURSE THE MAHDI WILL BE AN INDIVIDUAL. OUR MASTER SAYS THAT. The dajjal (antichrist) will also be an individual. The Mahdi will be an individual. The Master said that most explicitly.

It was a landslide agreement among restaurant executives at the 14th annual MURTEC in Las Vegas. Bring on higher guest counts, they said. MURTEC, our perennial restaurant technology conference, saw record attendance in March, with more than 350 execs coming to network and talk about business and technology.
We conducted several live audience polls via text message response. These live polls draw significant response rates — in part because we conference-goers always have our phones at the ready white sitting in session rooms — but more importantly because it's exciting to get an instant pulse of the industry, and use that information in discussions with tech partners and peers. In one poll, restaurant executives were asked to share which business objective was most important to their companies in the coming year. The majority, 58%, chose "increasing guest counts." Growth through new locations came in a distant second, at 19%. Improving productivity and efficiency was chosen by just 17% of attendees, and a mere 6% are focused on increasing the average order amount of guest checks.
With the sharp focus on attracting more guests, restaurants should consider how to tap into new opportunities being driven by social CRM and e-commerce. (Interestingly enough, however, when asked about investment plans for the year ahead, social media marketing was chosen as a top priority by just 6%. The clear winner there was business intelligence / back office technology, a priority for 32% of respondents). This month's cover story is an inspiring one of turnaround; Black Angus Steakhouse emerged from bankruptcy protection with a dedicated focus on attracting guests, both familiar and new, with savvy use of e-commerce and the launch of a new sports bar concept. May their success story inspire you and your teams with new ways to bring on the guests.

Passion makes a difference in life. What is it that you are passionate about? Some are passionate about their job; others about a particular hobby; yet others are passionate about certain relationships they enjoy.
The Apostle Paul was a very passionate man before he met Christ (Galatians 1:13-16). After his conversion that passion was channeled towards Christ and the advancement of His cause. Today's text of Scripture reveals the passion Paul had as he recounts his personal salvation and how he obtained God's righteousness. His mindset is a model for any believer to follow if he is to know Christ as Paul did and enjoy living life in the reality of what the person and work of Christ has accomplished for him. What are you passionate about in life?

Chad Smith & Will Ferrell to face off in 'Tonight Show' drum battle
Listen to The Red Hot Chili Peppers on iHeartRadio
Chad Smith and Will Ferrell are finally going to prove who's who.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer and Anchorman star have agreed to face off in a drum battle on NBC's "Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" next Thursday, May 22nd.
The two similar-looking celebrities raised more than $300,000 for the battle to occur, with the money set to go to Cancer for College and Little Kids Rock.
Smith and Ferrell have been trading jabs for months after Ferrell claimed he was Smith in a Reddit AMA session.
But Chad tells Rolling Stone that unless Will has been "practicing or is secretly a crazy, wild drummer," it should be pretty easy to see who the real Chad Smith is once the drumming begins.

SOUNDS OF THE '70s: Our electro- mail is packed with old Long Beach music this week, and we couldn't be giddier. We feel like a kid again.
But it's just for us treasured boomers. If you're not an AARP rocker, get the hell off our lawn. In fact, if you're pre-boomer, go back to your stories on the radio. It's pig-in-the-python time.
First, we got a bunch of fuzzy - just like our memory! - Brownie camera snaps of the long-defunct and eternally beloved Marina Palace from Scott Bowers, the lead guitarist for the '70s Long Beach band Small Affair.
The band, which became sort of the house band for the legendary Quonset hut nightclub in Seal Beach, just a few feet from the Long Beach border on PCH, was a supergroup of Moore League musicians, with Bowers from Millikan, bassist Brad Baker from Poly, guitarist Dennis Sunderland from Wilson and drummer Danny Mantel from Lakewood High.
"We got to be one of the biggest bands around," said Bowers, who has remained a pro musician all his life. "We played the Marina Palace 36 times."
To this day, after performing all over the country, Bowers says he was happiest on the Palace stage.
"It was the first time we felt like we were a real rock and roll band."
Bowers said he used to hitchhike down Studebaker Road from his parents' home in the Ranchos to watch the bands audition at the club on Sundays.
"I finally got the guts to try out, so we went down there and they liked us," he said.
The auditioning process consisted of playing in front of a bunch of high school girls the owner hired, figuring they'd know what would go over best with the kids.
"It was a fantastic place," Bowers said. "They had a revolving stage for three bands, so bands could set up in advance and when one band finished, the next could start right away.
"There were two big rooms," Bowers recalled. "One had a light show going on all the time; crazy lights. The other was painted all black, the floors, walls, ceiling, with black light paintings all around."
Bowers has played with all kinds of bands over the years, including a national tour in 1988 with Stacey Q, who was riding high with her huge hit "Two of Hearts." That association got him a spot with Stacey, playing the tune for the 40th Anniversary of Atlantic Records concert at Madison Square Garden, sharing the stage with Led Zeppelin, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, the Bee Gees and other great bands.
Bowers would go on to do a lot of TV work, playing background for such shows as "St. Elsewhere" - you can check out his solo from Led Zep's "Heartbreaker" for the hospital drama on YouTube.
Later endeavors have had Bowers fronting a country band, Sway, and reuniting with the Small Affair boys as The Long Beach Blues Band.
Now, he's working on a Fleetwood Mac tribute band.
"Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac was one of my favorite groups from when I was a kid," he says. "The tribute band will be doing more of the newer stuff, though."
And he has a new CD out now of his own music. "Blue Desert," he says, is mostly soft rock - four instrumentals and four with vocals, including one by Stacy Q. It's out now on www.cdbaby.com and will soon be available on iTunes.
PENN AGAIN: Next, we visit John Penn - now John Malcolm Penn - who was a huge Long Beach favorite back in the '70s, when he played regularly at the old Hindquarter Restaurant and Huck Finn's bar, both in Naples.
He was a co-founder, with Steve Redfearn (who also booked the Hindquarter), of the tragically defunct Cal State Long Beach Banjo, Fiddle & Guitar Festival, which featured stars like Jimmy Buffett, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Jerry Garcia's Old & In the Way, Guy Clark, Doc Watson and Rodney Crowell during its years on the campus.
Penn has also lived a life without needing a day job, playing guitar full time and performing regularly, especially around his current home of La Quinta.
He has recorded regularly, too, but his career is going up a notch with the release of his latest, his debut on the prestigious Blue Night label.
"Hangtown Fry" is the title, and it includes some of his great songs, especially his biggest and best, "Moonlight Motor Inn."

WOODBRIDGE -- Murray Lender, an international humanitarian and member of the iconic bagel business family, died Wednesday in Florida of complications due to a recent fall, longtime friend former First Selectman Roger Harrison said.
Lender had been hospitalized in the intensive care unit, Harrison said.
He is survived by his wife, Gilda; brother, Marvin; and children and grandchildren.
"He had a hard time recovering from the fall," Harrison said.
Lender was 81.
New Haven Mayor John DeStefano Jr. called Lender a "philanthropist" and "entrepreneur" who was a member of a family that was "this area's immigrant story of success and helped shape little cities like New Haven."
"The Lender family gave America the bagel," DeStefano said.
Lender was a "sweetheart with chutzpah and style; you could not construct a character like Murray," DeStefano said. "He was a gift from God and a real blessing to New Haven. ... New Haven was always the Lender family home."
U. S. Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro, D-3, said she was "devastated" to learn the news.
"He was a titan. Someone who never forgot his roots or humble beginnings," DeLauro said.
Lender was chairman of Lender's Bagel Bakery, the world's largest bagel bakery, until it was sold to Kraft in 1984. The Lender brothers, Samuel, Murray and Marvin, worked their father's once modest New Haven-based bagel bakery into a national business in the late 1960s. Murray and Marvin Lender also had operated restaurants, H. Lender & Sons, in Orange and Hamden. Samuel Lender died in 2004.
Murray Lender had served on the board of trustees of Quinnipiac College, the board of trustees of Hamden Hall and as co-chairman of the Relocation Steering Committee of the New Haven Jewish Community Center.
He was active in fundraising for the local branches of the American Heart Association, the Leukemia Society of America and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
Woodbridge First Selectman Ed Sheehy said he was saddened by the news.
"He was generous to a number of causes in the New Haven area," Sheehy said. "Quite obviously we will miss him."
In 1989, Lender received the Torch of Liberty Award from the Anti-Defamation League while he was chairman of the board of S. Kinder Fresh Bagel Restaurants and M & M Investments.
"He was a humanitarian who worked to foster good will to create a better society," DeLauro said. "I lost a dear, dear friend.
Harrison said he recently had dinner with Marvin Lender, who told him how ill his brother was. "Murray and Marvin built the business," Harrison said. Lender and his family were icons in the community and they did so much for the Jewish Community Center, he added.
Services will take place Sunday at 2 p.m. at Congregation B'nai Jacob, 75 Rimmon Road. Burial will be at B'nai Jacob Memorial Park, 200 Wintergreen Ave., New Haven.

Exercise Also Helps Relieve Stress
Danish researchers studied patients with heart disease and found that
the ones with a sunny disposition were more inclined to exercise ... and the
more they exercised, the happier, and healthier, they were.
John Higgins, M.D., is a cardiologist with UT Health Science Center in Houston.
"They were significantly more likely to exercise than those who had a negative
attitude," he says of the happy patients.
"Having a positive attitude increases your likelihood to exercise and
also when you exercise you release endorphins and you have less
Higgins says on top of that, exercise helps the heart condition
and one's health overall.
"Not only do they not need much medication and the less medicine
the less side effects and the better off that they are."
The moral of the story, he says, is says is that exercise is what the body needs ... no matter who you are

It can be infuriating -- and humbling -- to review the makings of a tech snafu. Yes, there are many reasons why details can be overlooked in any IT project: lack of communication between those in the workflow, limited resources, or a new technology deployed, to name a few. Most frustrating is the fact that if any one of those details had been addressed immediately, the problem likely could have been avoided altogether.
The issue we encountered during a four-day workweek began innocently enough. Nine months before, our company had negotiated a contract with a software vendor for a new payroll and time-keeping package. Being further down the food chain, I was not privileged -- initially -- to know the full details of the contract. My supervisor handled those details, and the rest of us on the small IT staff worked with the accounting department to get the new software working smoothly.
[ More from InfoWorld about the IT profession: The 12 most dreaded help desk requests. | Follow InfoWorld's Off the Record on Twitter for tech's war stories, career takes, and off-the-wall news. | Subscribe to the Off the Record newsletter for your weekly dose of workplace shenanigans. ]
On that front, events had progressed well. Data was converted from the old software into the new one. We paralleled several payrolls to verify deductions and such before shutting down the old package. The conversion and installation appeared to be a success, and the accounting employees had grown comfortable using the new software. In my mind, the project had been completed -- which is why I was caught off guard the week of Labor Day when problems were reported.
Per my usual routine, I was in the office an hour before other employees arrived to make sure servers and other peripherals were running. Since this was a short workweek due to the Monday holiday, some of the payroll staff also came in early that day and began processing checks and electronic funds transfers. But after a few minutes, the manager of the payroll department was in my cube reporting that the software refused to function, saying its license had expired.
Not surprising for our company, no one in payroll knew if or when the license fee had been paid. No one had yet arrived for work from the accounts payable division. The IT director wasn't in yet, either.
The manager and I made our way to his desk. As we walked through the payroll department, I glanced at an employee's monitor. There, in the lower-left corner of the screen, was a notice in red that the license would expire the prior day.
When I asked about it, I got a range of replies. The payroll manager claimed to have never seen it, another employee said it had been showing up for a week, while the employee whose screen I was viewing said it had been there for a month. None of them had thought it necessary to investigate or to notify someone that the license was about to expire.

This was my second purchase from DrillSpot and I am completely satisfied with my overall experience.
Drillspot had the best price I could find. They shipped very quickly. The item was well packaged. I could not have been more satisfied.
Cheapest price I could find, and fast, free, damage-free shipping too. The item I ordered arrived in perfect shape, just two days after placing my order. The price was about 40% less than the MSRP or highest price at other places online or nearby. Who could ask for more?
Drillspot provided the best price for this item on the net. Their delivery was ahead of schedule and the items arrived in perfect order. I would definitely use Drillspot again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professionally run company with competitive prices.
Have no hesitations on ordering from this seller. The fan was actually broken when I received it, not due to their fault, and the customer service was awesome!! Immediately refunded my money. No hassles. This is the kind of company I love to do business with. Thank you!!
Ordered a Weber Smoky Mountain Smoker on Monday and received it Friday in Ohio. Just wanted to say thanks on the great price and great delivery. Best price on this item anywhere.+ More Testimonials

REPORT: Selena Gomez takes Justin Bieber back, but there's a catch
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Justin Bieber's single days are officially over... again... for now... 'cause he's back on with Selena Gomez - but TMZ has learned there's one major catch - he's gotta stop acting out.
According to sources, Selena had firmly resisted reuniting with Justin after their most recent breakup because he and his friends have been acting like raging self-entitled jackasses the last few months - smoking pot, speeding around in expensive cars, and pissing in mop buckets.
But Justin - being the Casanova that he is - was able to change her mind... and on July 4th, sources say he won her back by promising to change his douche ways. Apparently, Selena bought it.
JB and his "Wild Kidz" goons have taken notice of the public backlash against their ridiculous behavior - hard not to - and they all decided to clean up their acts.
Sounds like BS - considering Bieber's abysmal track record for making phony apologies and continuing to act like an oblivious self-important douche-baby - but sources say Selena has always been an extremely positive influence on him... and if anyone can change him, it's her.
You'll notice -- Bieber's string of crappy behavior has almost perfectly coincided with him being single. Whenever he was with Selena, however, Bieber seems to retire his crazy ways and act like a semi-gentleman.
Bottom line, it seems like no one else can fix Justin, so why not give Selena a shot? It might just be crazy enough to work.

Orlando Leadership Dance Camp – Fun Experiential way to Builds Kids & Teens Leadership, Learning & Life Skills –
Who would benefit from TLC's Social Skills Services & Dance Lessons?
- For students in the Orlando, Windermere, Lake Mary and Winter Park areas that may have social skills issues with their peer group or lack assertion/confidence. See list of 15 Symptoms of Social Delays below to determine if your child may be socially delayed.
- Aspergers or Autistic students often exhibit robotic body movements and monotone language. Dance and other activities that encourage cross body movements help to properly wire and open up pathways in the brain between the prefrontal lobe and the cerebellum. Our students in the video on this page went from robotic to fluid body movements by the end of the day. Continued cross movement activities can permanently increase fluid body movements in Autistic or Aspergers students over time!
The Importance of Eye Contact
- 80% of Communication is Non-Verbal or Body Language. So students with poor eye contact miss 80% of communication and therefore they get considerably behind socially everyday that goes by without intervention.
- Dance is 100% Non-Verbal – Ballroom style dancing is all about reading your partner's facial expressions and body movements. Dance is one of the ultimate ways to teach students to read non-verbals or body language. Read more below.
- Additionally, when students do not look their peers in the eyes the peer does not feel the student is listening and therefore may not feel important and will move on to make friends with someone else.
- When adults communicate without getting their students eye contact then they are only getting 20% of what you are saying.

That's the genealogy blogging world (aka "geneablogging"), and it's grown up quickly. GeneaBloggers, a community site for bloggers and their readers, logged more than a million hits last year. The number of registered blogs doubled to more than 1,600 in 2010. That's a lot of lunchroom chatter.
Thomas MacEntee, genealogy industry expert and owner of the GeneaBloggers site, loves this growth but isn't surprised by it. "Genealogists helping other genealogists, especially newcomers, has [long] been a hallmark of our community," he says. "Blogs are simply another means of helping the community to not only trace one's roots, but to understand the importance of family history to our society."
Geneablogging is a win-win situation, observes MacEntee. "As a blog owner you get to tell your family, the genealogy community and the entire internet about your trials and tribulations in searching for your ancestors. As a blog reader, you can use blogs to find resources, locate records, and to connect with fellow researchers and even cousins you never knew existed."
Last year, Family Tree Magazine honored 40 top-notch genealogy blogs. Readers have chosen their favorites again this year, with an expert panel weighing in on the judging. More than half this year's winners are new to the Top 40, more evidence that blogs are on the rise. Whether you're a blogophile or have yet to click and comment, you'll find plenty of fascinating talkers and topics in this year's Family Tree 40.
