Two new faces are headed to Miami to help set up the end game of "Dexter."
British actress Charlotte Rampling joins the cast for Season 8 playing Dr. Evelyn Vogel, "a psychiatrist that specializes in working with young psychopaths in unorthodox ways"
Sean Patrick Flanery ("The Boondock Saints," "The Young and the Restless") will appear as an ex-cop named Jacob Elroy who's now the owner of a Miami private investigation company.
Both actors will be featured as "major recurring characters."
The eighth, and potentially final season, of "Dexter" will premiere earlier than usual, debuting on June 30.
Last month, Showtime Entertainment President David Nevins avoided confirming that the upcoming season will be the serial killer drama's last, as has been widely speculated, even by the show's producers, but he did tell reporters, "There is an endgame in place." Nevins expects to make an announcement about "Dexter's" fate before the new season premieres this summer.

Associated Press
DENVER — Justin Teilhet doesn't remember hearing a boom or feeling a sting, just waking up numb on the treeless tundra high in Rocky Mountain National Park and discovering his good friend was trying to revive his wife.
It was a lightning bolt, he learned later, and it killed his wife and left him with a burn on his shoulder and a cut on his face when he was knocked to the ground unconscious.
Lightning killed two people last weekend just miles apart in the popular park, where summer storms can close in quickly with deadly results.
Rebecca Teilhet, 42, of Yellow Springs, Ohio, was killed Friday while hiking on the Ute Crossing Trail at about 11,400 feet above sea level. Justin Teilhet and six other hikers were injured.
One day later and a few miles away, lightning killed 52-year-old Gregory Cardwell of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, at Rainbow Curve, a pullover on Trail Ridge Road with sweeping vistas from a vantage point about 10,800 feet above sea level. Three others were hurt by that strike.
They were the first lightning deaths in the park since 2000, officials said.
Thunderstorms occur in the park almost daily during the peak travel months of summer, and many produce lightning.
"A storm blew in, and it came very fast," Justin Teilhet said Monday from his home in Ohio. "It started raining a little bit. We were hearing claps of thunder everywhere, but there wasn't any lightning."
His wife and his good friend Nick Tertel of Fort Collins were hustling back to the trailhead parking lot on Trail Ridge Road as the storm closed in.
The next thing Teilhet remembers was struggling to lift his body from the ground, with one side numb.
"I was walking, and then I was trying to stand up," he said, adding he had no memory of anything in between.
"When I found Nick trying to revive my wife, I crawled to them and tried to help."
Tertel also was injured but gave Rebecca Teilhet CPR and kept her alive until paramedics arrived, Justin Teilhet said. "He really was a hero at that event."
Tertel declined to comment.
Park officials said a helicopter was dispatched, but Rebecca Teilhet died at the scene.

"Treat others the way you want to be treated."
If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. - St. Francis of Assisi
I think Scotty has a God-given talent of singing. It is a gift. He is young but he will keep improving as he matures, although, for a 17 year old,
he's a great singer now. Nobody can take away from him what God has blessed him with. I think he will make his parents and many, many
other people proud. He's already won my heart. I just think he is a super fine young man.
In my opinion, Scotty does not have to be unique in his own genre, but he has to be good to make it, and he is already that.
"Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen." ~ Orhan Pamuk
Correct me if I'm wrong (I've been wrong a time or two...), but isn't Scotty unique in that he is a teenage male country singer? Yes, he's good -- but is he also unique by virtue of his current age?
He's cute, but boy-next-door cute, not threateningly so. At the same time, he's more masculine than most teen idols. I just see a niche here that nobody else is filling.
I'm not saying Scotty isn't good, I'm just saying there are a bunch like him already on the Country charts. Josh Turner, Randy Travis, Trace Adkins, Joe Nichols, Jake Owen & Jamey Johnson, all fit the bill. Yes, Scotty is the only teen amongst them, but how far will that take him. I think we have seen in the past, that getting a slough of votes on the show doesn't necessarily translate into a huge post show following. I wish him luck, don't get me wrong, but they are going to need to find a way to differentiate him from all the others.
By the way, he is on track for 180,000 in sales for the first week.
Yes, TeacherLady..Scotty is unique in that he is SO young to sound this good.
Razorbacker, that's my point, though. All these country singers do sound alike.. a lot of them, anyway. So he doesnt have to be unique. Being GOOD is the main thing, and that he is. He'll do fine.
"Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen." ~ Orhan Pamuk
I saw very little of AI this season - from that limited viewing, I thought Scotty was the clear choice to win this year. Having said that, I have to agree that his young age might not be his ticket to becoming a breakout star in country music. I'm always blown away by the loyalty of country fans, but I also notice that there's not an exceptional amount of young teen fans, and youngsters would be Scotty's target audience.
Then again, Taylor Swift garnered a huge following of young girls...but her sound is pop-oriented, plus she snagged a female audience that is too young to moon over boys. (I speak from personal experience - my 8-year-old daughter and her friends played "Love Story" till the CD wore out.) Justin Bieber and the JoBros aside, young girls are more attracted to female performers - they're more aspirational.
Having said that, I'm sure he'll enjoy a career in country music, but I'm not as sure about his level of success.
All my life, I have felt destiny tugging at my sleeve.~ Thursday Next
I don't want to "go with the flow". The flow just washes you down the drain. I want to fight the flow.- Henry Rollins
All this spiritual talk is great and everything...but at the end of the day, there's nothing like a pair of skinny jeans. - Jillian Michaels
Of course we don't know now his potential for success. Last year, about this time, loads of people were predicting that Lee would not have any post Idol success.....and they were right. However, they were also predicting the Crystal would be the next Adam with huge succes for a second place finisher......and they were wrong.

How is it that the woman clothed with the sun mentioned in Revelations 12:1 is claimed to be the Virgin Mary by us Catholics. What is the solid proof that this passage refers to Mary. I am a Marian devotee and I would like to be very certain about my answer when I am asked this question by my non-Catholic associates. Thank you. |
Answer by Fr. John Echert on 12/10/2003: | ||||||||
The first level of "proof" would be the literal interpretation of the text itself, in which we see that this Woman gives birth to a Son, Whom the Dragon wishes to destroy. All commentators agree that the Son if Jesus Christ--and the Dragon is explicitly identified as Satan--therefore it is absolutely reasonable to assume that the Woman who gave birth to Jesus Christ MUST BE Mary, the Mother of our Lord. The book of Revelation records a vision of a woman clothed with the sun: 12:1 And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 12:2 she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery. 12:3 And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads. 12:4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth; 12:5 she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, 12:6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days. There is a long-standing tradition of interpretation in the Church which views this woman from two perspectives: as representative of Gods People and as the Mother of our Lord. We note that it is common to find a feminine image for the People of God, in the OT and the NT. In this case, we see that the Savior (male child) is born of the Jewish People with the pains of birth (symbolically often used to represent a new age dawning, certainly the case with the coming of the Messiah) and Satan attempts to destroy our Lord, not just as an infant but he continually attempted to thwart his saving mission. But having failed to do this and now that our Lord has ascended to heaven, Satan continues to wage war upon the Church (the Woman). She is given protection by our Lord, as the Church is protected, through a period of persecution. The reference to a period of three and a half years, in various fractions, seems to represent a period of persecution, no matter how long it may be, in fact. This three and a half period may find a past reference in the persecution of Antiochus IV of Syria upon the Jewish people in the 2nd century BC and may find an initial fulfillment in the siege of Jerusalem from 66-70 AD, more specifically, for precisely a three and a half year period. At the primary level of symbolism, we can see this woman as representative of our Blessed Mother, who gave birth to our Lord. But in making this association, we do not apply every aspect or detail to her directly without qualification. For the suffering need not be a matter of physically giving birth, but of the sufferings the Mother of our Lord endured which reach a height as she stood beneath the cross upon which her Son died. Remember, the prophet Simeon had foretold that a sword of sorrow would pierce her heart. This allusion was not a matter of a physical sword but of spiritual and emotional suffering of a Mother, which is also physical. But many non Catholics will not accept deeper levels of symbols, which is often at the spiritual level of interpretation and in light of Tradition and sometimes special revelations, such as Marian apparitions, some of which have been officially approved. And while maintaining both the symbol of Mary and of the People of God for this Woman, I now regard the primary meaning as Mary, as the other figures of this chapter refer first of all to single referents and secondarily to other realities: the Dragon is Satan, St. Michael is the Archangel, and the Male Child is, of course, Jesus Christ. The apparent connection between the appearance of the ark of the covenant in chapter eleven and the appearance of this woman in chapter twelve further confirm the association of the Woman with Mary, for she is regarded by the Church as the new Ark of the Covenant, as the first dwelling place of the Incarnate Lord. We should also note that the Church has chosen the text of the Woman Clothed with the Sun as the first reading for the vigil Mass of the feast of the Assumption. The implication is obvious: this text is to be associated with the Blessed Mother, now in her heavenly splendor. Finally, we have the words of two popes who comment upon this Woman as an image of the Blessed Mother. In his encyclical letter Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum Pope Pius X wrote: A great sign, thus the Apostle St. John describes a vision divinely sent him, appears in the heavens: A woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars upon her head. Everyone knows that this woman signified the Virgin Mary, the stainless one who brought forth our head
John therefore saw the Most Holy Mother of God already in eternal happiness, yet travailing in a mysterious childbirth. What birth was it? Surely it was the birth of us who, still in exile, are yet to be generated to the perfect charity of God, and to eternal happiness. And the birth pains show the love and desire with which the Virgin from heaven above watches over us, and strives with unwearying prayer to bring about the fulfillment of the number of the elect. In his encyclical letter, "The Great Sign," Pope Paul VI wrote: The great sign which the Apostle John saw in heaven, "a woman clothed with the sun,"(1) is interpreted by the sacred Liturgy,(2) not without foundation, as referring to the most blessed Mary, the mother of all men by the grace of Christ the Redeemer. In his encyclical letter Redemptoris Mater Pope John Paul II wrote: 47. Thanks to this special bond linking the Mother of Christ with the Church, there is further clarified the mystery of that "woman" who, from the first chapters of the Book of Genesis until the Book of Revelation, accompanies the revelation of God's salvific plan for humanity. For Mary, present in the Church as the Mother of the Redeemer, takes part, as a mother, in that monumental struggle; against the powers of darkness"(138) which continues throughout human history. And by her ecclesial identification as the "woman clothed with the sun" (Rev. 12:1),(139) it can be said that "in the Most Holy Virgin the Church has already reached that perfection whereby she exists without spot or wrinkle." Hence, as Christians raise their eyes with faith to Mary in the course of their earthly pilgrimage, they "strive to increase in holiness."(140) Mary, the exalted Daughter of Sion, helps all her children, wherever they may be and whatever their condition, to find in Christ the path to the Father's house. Thanks, Ed Father Echert |

This year's Federal 100 awards program is a reminder that excellent work goes on, even in the toughest of times.
And times were tough in 2010, make no mistake about that. Civilian agencies and their contractors felt the pinch of budget uncertainty as the year progressed and Congress could not reach agreement on an appropriations bill. Many defense agencies also faced austere times, as two wars continued to demand a steady flow of resources. Yet the 2011 Federal 100 award winners rose to the challenge.
They developed strategies to ease the federal government's transition to cloud computing. They improved the quality of care provided to our service members returning from combat. They gave federal officials a crash course in how to protect themselves against an imminent cybersecurity threat. And they even put together national programs to nurture the next generation of cybersecurity experts.

That's one of the marks of Federal 100 winners every year: They have an uncanny ability to figure out how to get a job done with whatever resources are available. That quality is especially valuable in a crisis — be it the earthquake in Haiti or the Deepwater Horizon oil spill — when time is of the essence and options are limited. It's the art of the possible raised to its highest form.
Federal 100 winners often seem to look at the world from a unique perspective. It's not that they don't see obstacles. But they come at problems from a slightly different angle. They see ways around obstacles that others might have missed. That vision, and their ability to share it, is what makes them leaders.
But the most important distinguishing mark of Federal 100 winners is simple: They step up. That's something we see again and again in the nominations we receive. Often the work that results in a Federal 100 award is something that is difficult, time-consuming and, in many cases, beyond the winner's job description. But they step up to it and get the job done. It's that simple.
After 22 years of the Federal 100 awards program, you would think we had seen it all. But this year's program just goes to show that excellence never gets old.

Seasoned government managers are hopeful about an innovation effort backed by the president, but they see pitfalls and the possibility of duplication.
Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.

Arts Commission Announces World Premiere of Zhang Huan's Colossal "Three Heads Six Arms"

A dedication ceremony for Three Heads Six Arms, (2008) will be held on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 10 a.m. in Joseph L. Alioto Performing Arts Piazza, located across the street from San Francisco's City Hall.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 14, 2010 – San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, Arts Commission President P.J. Johnston and Director of Cultural Affairs Luis R. Cancel will dedicate a new temporary sculpture by celebrated Chinese artist Zhang Huan at a public ceremony on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 10 a.m. Presented in conjunction with the Shanghai-San Francisco Sister City 30th Anniversary Celebration, Zhang's colossal Three Heads Six Arms (2008) will make its world premiere in the heart of San Francisco's Civic Center, the Joseph L. Alioto Performing Arts Piazza, which is located across the street from City Hall. Three Heads Six Arms, courtesy of the artist and The Pace Gallery, New York, will be on loan through early spring 2011. The Asian Art Museum and the Arts Commission will sponsor a FREE public program featuring Zhang Huan in conversation with Museum Director Jay Xu on Wednesday, May 12 from 7-8:00 p.m. at the Asian Art Museum (200 Larkin Street in San Francisco), see below for further details.
"The installation of Zhang Huan's spectacular sculpture in the Civic Center marks a high point in the Shanghai-San Francisco Sister City 30th Anniversary Celebration and a milestone for the San Francisco Arts Commission," said Mayor Gavin Newsom. "By bringing this incredible work of art to the City, we underscore Shanghai and San Francisco's bond as two of the world's most important centers for arts and culture."
"We are deeply honored that Zhang Huan chose San Francisco as the site for the sculpture's world premiere," said P.J. Johnston. "Bringing such an impressive work by an artist of his caliber and renown to San Francisco is a tremendous accomplishment for the San Francisco Arts Commission, and we are delighted that we can provide city residents and tourists with the opportunity to experience this colossal masterpiece in person."
According to Luis R. Cancel, "Zhang Huan is one of the world's foremost contemporary artists whose haunting and poignant artworks are layered with existential questions and social commentary. While many people are familiar with his performance art through photographs, not many have had the occasion to experience works that are more representative of his traditional art practice. Three Heads Six Arms is Zhang's largest sculpture to date, and we are absolutely thrilled to bring it stateside and show it for the first time."
Three Heads Six Arms is part of a series of monumental works depicting the fragmented extremities of Buddhist statues. The series was inspired by Zhang's discovery of religious sculptures that had been destroyed during the Cultural Revolution for sale in a Tibetan market. He began the series in 2006 shortly after moving from New York City to Shanghai where he retired his performance art practice and embraced a more traditional approach to artistic creation. His recent work is characterized by a more overt relationship with traditional Chinese culture and Buddhist iconography. However, he continues to use the body as a primary vehicle for exploring existential questions and expressing emotions, and it is a common thematic thread through his various artworks.
The first sculptures in the Buddha series included nine large-scale copper fingers, which were based on remains he collected during his visit to Tibet. According to Zhang, "When I saw these fragments in Lhasa, a mysterious power impressed me. They're embedded with historical and religious traces, just like the limbs of a human being." The fingers of Buddhist deities are considered highly symbolic because they convey different spiritual meanings through various hand gestures, or mudras. Zhang continued the series with several even larger sculptures combining the legs, feet, hands and heads of Buddhist deities. The artist, having been deeply moved by the sight of the desecrated statues, believes that by recreating these fragments on a grand scale, he is able to alleviate the pain caused by their destruction.
Standing over 26 feet tall and weighing almost fifteen tons, Three Heads Six Arms is Zhang's largest sculpture to date. He began the sculpture by sketching a few ink drafts of Three Heads Six Arms. His assistants then created a miniature, approximately 5′ x 5′ x 3′ clay sculpture that was based on the ink sketches. Once Zhang approved the clay maquette, his assistants constructed a glass-steel model. He then turned the design over to his copper workshop, which is one of nine specialized workshops that comprise his Shanghai studio complex, to build an enlarged copper construct. The hands and body were enlarged directly in accordance to the glass-steel model. However, the head section presented Zhang with several challenges.
Since the expressions on the faces were so elaborate, subtle changes in detail were especially difficult to realize. In order to overcome these issues, Zhang and his assistants created one large-scale isometric clay sculpture by welding together a steel structure and overlaying it with clay. The forging specialist hammered out the copper skin over the clay head model, and the final head was pieced together after all the individual faces were finished. According to Zhang, "When using pieces of copper to make Buddhist images, I like to keep the original character of the copper and the traces of the welding. For me, pieces of copper are like stitched skin after an operation."
"The shape of Three Heads Six Arms came from my correlation of it with the Chinese mythological character Nezha, inspiration came from Tibetan Buddhist sculptures. I replaced two of the three Buddha heads with human heads," said Zhang. Among the sculpture's three heads is a self-portrait of the artist. In his earlier performances and photographs, Zhang always placed himself at the center of the action. Using his own body as his primary medium, he would subject himself to extreme physical trials and exploits often in front of large audiences. By introducing himself into the Buddha series, he reinstates this practice and draws a parallel between the body of Buddhist deities and his own. Zhang has been quoted in a past interview with curator and art historian RoseLee Goldberg as saying, "To me, the objects that I am making now are still very theatrical. I see them as motionless performance art." Three Heads Six Arms exemplifies how the layers of ideas explored in his performance pieces have carried through to his more traditional studio practice. "Three Heads Six Arms reflects the changing realities of Chinese people today and also reflects the attitude that humankind has conquered nature and even reflects deeds of volition and hope," said Zhang.
Zhang chose San Francisco as the ideal setting to debut his sculpture, in part because of the long-standing history being honored between Shanghai and San Francisco during this year's Sister City Celebration.
"The Shanghai San Francisco Sister City celebration commemorates this important time in the history of our two countries when the exchange of art, culture and ideas between the East and West is marked by openness and mutual appreciation. While Three Heads Six Arms clearly embodies ideas that are rooted in Chinese culture and tradition, it is also about our common humanity. I hope that, while the sculpture is in San Francisco, it will serve as a bridge between these two great cities and that it will continue to foster this sprit of tolerance and appreciation," said Zhang.
"The Pace Gallery is honored to have been able to facilitate the loan of this monumental sculpture by one of the world's most important contemporary artists to the city of San Francisco. With his continuing interest in the continuity of Buddhist philosophy Zhang Huan deals with the fragmentation of Chinese society by enlarging a small ruined Buddha to heroic scale. By doing this he illustrates the promise of a new society in which the past as well as the present will co-exist with equal value," says Arne Glimcher, Founder and Chairman of The Pace Gallery.
Zhang Huan was born in 1965 in a small town called Anyang in Henan Province just prior to the Cultural Revolution. At one year of age, Zhang went to live with his grandparents in a tiny village in the countryside known as Tangyin County. At fourteen, he started his artistic training in the so-called Su-style or Soviet style and traveled by bus each day for his lessons. Zhang enrolled in undergraduate studies at the Art Department, Henan University, Kaifeng to concentrate on Chinese ink painting, drawing, oil painting and art history in 1984. Upon completion in 1988, Zhang was an instructor of art and Western art history at Zhengzhou College of Education for three years. He studied oil painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing from 1991 to 1993, and it was during this period that he first started experimenting with performance art.
At the same time, a group of young Chinese artists, including Zhang Huan, established the "Beijing East Village." It was in this community that Zhang developed his early performance practices and many of the works that would soon bring him international attention, such as 12 Square Meters, in which the artist sat for an hour, covered in honey and fish oil, in a fly infested public latrine and To Add One Meter to an Anonymous Mountain, where nine people lay on top of one another to raise the summit by a meter. These performances and many others came to be known by their photographic documentation, which are now considered the artist's first iconic works.
In 1998, Zhang was included in Inside Out: New Chinese Art organized by the Asia Society and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center. It was during this exhibition that he relocated to New York City. Over the course of the next eight years, Zhang created 13 performances and exhibited in five solo exhibitions and more than 60 group shows throughout the United States. The artist moved back to China in 2005, settling in the southern Min Hang district of Shanghai, where he opened the Zhang Huan Studio and established the Gao An Foundation, which supports the construction of school buildings in underdeveloped regions of Western China and has established scholarships for students at the university level.
Among his many notable exhibitions the Asia Society, New York, presented Zhang Huan: Altered States (2007-08), the largest museum exhibition of the artist's work to date. Organized by Melissa Chiu, Director of the Asia Society Museum and Vice President of the Society's Global Arts Programming, the exhibition featured 55 of Zhang Huan's major works produced over the past 15 years in Beijing, New York, and Shanghai. Zhang Huan: Altered States later traveled to the Vancouver Art Gallery.

The presentation of Three Heads Six Arms in Joseph L. Alioto Performing Arts Piazza was made possible by the Public Art Program of the San Francisco Arts Commission, courtesy of The Pace Gallery, primarily through private funding and use of art enrichment funds from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. Major sponsorship was provided by Matson Navigation Company, the Waterfront Container Leasing Company, Inc. and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional project support was provided by: The Pace Gallery, Atthowe Fine Art Services, the Huntington Hotel, Degenkolb Engineers and Absinthe Brasserie & Bar. The Arts Commission also wishes to acknowledge the following individuals and agencies whose assistance made this project possible: Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mayor Gavin Newsom, Roselyne C. Swig, Consulate General of the People's Republic of China, the Asian Art Museum and the Recreation and Parks Department.

About the San Francisco Arts Commission and the Public Art Program
The San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) is the City agency that champions the arts in San Francisco. We believe that a creative cultural environment is essential to the City's well-being. Established by charter in 1932, SFAC programs integrate the arts into all aspects of City life. Programs include: Civic Art Collection, Civic Design Review, Community Arts & Education, Cultural Equity Grants, Public Art, SFAC Gallery, Street Artists Licensing, and the San Francisco Symphony Youth and Community Concert Series. The agency's core values are committed to the principle that all residents have equal access to arts experiences in all disciplines, that programs are provided comprehensively and evenly throughout the City, and that they are innovative and of the highest quality.
The Arts Commission's Public Art Program was established by the City Arts Enrichment Ordinance in 1969, as one of the first of its kind in the country. The Public Art Program seeks to promote a diverse and stimulating cultural environment to enrich the lives of the city's residents, visitors and employees. The Program encourages the creative interaction of artists, designers, city staff, officials and community members during the design of City projects in order to develop public art that is specific to the site and meaningful to the community.

Many towns in Denmark have centrally located industrial silos; most are no longer in use, but continue to visually dominate the local skyline. This is also the case in the town of Løgten north of Aarhus, where the former silo complex has been transformed into a 'rural high-rise', with 21 high-quality residences composed as individual and unique 'stacked villas'. They are an alternative to standard apartments or to detached suburban sprawl, and are a mix of single storey flats and maisonettes, meaning that even the lower levels fully get to enjoy the views, and that no two flats are the same.
The actual silo contains staircases and lifts, and provides the base of a common roof terrace. Around the tower, the apartments are built up upon a steel structure in eye-catching forms which protrude out into the light and the landscape – a bit like Lego bricks. This unusual structure with its protrusions and displacements provides all of the apartments with generous outdoor spaces, and views of Aarhus Bay and the city itself. Similarly, every apartment enjoys sunlight in the morning, mid-day and evening, whether placed to the north or south of the silo structure.
At the foot of the silo, a new 'village centre' is created, with a public space surrounded by a mix-use complex with shops, supermarket and terraced housing, plus a green park containing small allotments for the residents. The nature of the silo's 'rural high-rise' remains unique – since it is a conversion, no other building in the area can be built to the same height, and it will remain a free-standing landmark. It is an example of how the transformation of redundant structures can hold the potential to both give a new identity, and introduce density to suburban outskirts.

Did this number call you? Please leave your comment below!
Just received a call from them. I never entered any contest or asked to be called. I don't know who called.
Just received a phone call from this number and Thomas told me I entered a contest and won a free $50 voucher. When I told him I didn't, he informed me I did and I said that is the only way he would have called me (basically calling me a liar). He proceeded to hang up on me.
got a call yesterday and then again today, first time nobody on the other end. Today this dude says to me, "did I miss something" I said yes, you forgot to call someone who gives a s**t. LOL! Bite me, you are now blocked.
These men are scammers, they are a proxy number. I'm am only 17, why would they be looking for me? Not to mention I live in Vancouver, Canada... out of all places they'd call. I've already told one of their proxy numbers to **** off.
19, Dec. 2012called me almost everyday I don't know where they got my number. terrible
They called me but I said Who is calling ? they do not want to tell me their names and hang out ...so rude
calls me everyday!!!!! I never answer they leave voicemails with music and some dude saying HELLO. Ridiculous don't know how they got my number!
Just got a call from this number but I didn't answer it. Glad I didn't now.
i've gotten a call from this number 5 days in a row,they cal at all hours of the day and as late as 9pm.they called on sunday morning.....i asked them to not call me the very first time.....yet 5 calls later...they still call...they ask for me by name.....now i tell them to stop calling or i'll hunt them down and rip their eyes out
Guy tried to give/sell whatever a trip to Orlando. Told him I wasn't interested and hung up. So they called again today. It is my work phone. Have no clue who is pimping out my number.
calls no message or anything. Just keeps calling, really annoying.
This number called me several times and didn't leave a message. I called them and I asked them why are they calling. A rude guy said he was calling about our trip to Florida. I told him I am not going to Florida. It turned into a screaming match and I told him not to call again.
31, Jul. 2013This time I threaten to sue them if they ever called me again and I hung up. This is a company that claims I won a $50 voucher for Disney and they are persistent. They also claim I filled out an online application for more information.

NJr, less of this would be good:
But we're in agreement on age. Many younger people focus on the affectations they see on TV that don't suit their age and to top it off forget about cut, which makes the whole ensemble look even more faddish and poorly thought-out. I find myself only wearing handkerchiefs casually; in the office, at my age... a little cringey (clarification: I work in a more traditional office, marketeers can turn up in fuchsia onesies without the bat of an eyelid I'm told).
Flamingos like to stand on one leg in the water - though at times on land as well - because it reduces the surface area of their body that is in contact with water and reduces the rate at which they lose body heat, water being a very effective conductor relative to air or earth.
Next week we explore why zebras have black and white stripes when they live on the savannah and not a chess board.
I have a question about handkerchiefs ("pocket squares" - question within a question: is there a difference?): you get those ones in a heavier silk and fold more stiffly... does anyone think those are a bit naff/cheap looking or do you think there are circumstances when they're a better choice than a finer silk?

It was a star-spangled affair at 84 Lumber Arena Saturday night. Robert Morris' special camouflage jerseys made their debut, and military personnel dotted the packed crowd of 1,079 for the Colonials' first Military Appreciation Night.
Lance Cpl. Collin Wydo, younger brother of Robert Morris junior winger Cody Wydo, dropped the puck for the ceremonial opening faceoff. And then little brother sat back as Cody tallied two assists, stretching his point streak to seven games, and the Colonials marched to a 5-0 victory against Niagara (10-16-4, 10-8-4 Atlantic Hockey).
"It wasn't the prettiest win," Robert Morris coach Derek Schooley said, "but you don't ask for style points this time of year. You ask for results.
"We did what we have to do at this time of year: just get a win."
Robert Morris (12-14-4, 12-7-4) showed no signs of frustration after having allowed three unanswered third-period goals in a 5-2 loss against the Purple Eagles in Niagara, N.Y., Thursday. That defeat snapped the Colonials' school-record nine-game unbeaten streak.
"You're not going to win every game," Schooley said. "When you've got a little streak going, you wonder when it's going to happen. And we had to learn a lesson. We didn't come out with our 'A' game."
Robert Morris' top forward line of Wydo, junior Scott Jacklin and sophomore Zac Lynch -- the Colonials' top three scorers -- had scored 13 goals in the previous five games before being kept off the scoreboard Thursday.
That line struck quickly Saturday. Just two minutes into the first period, Jacklin took a feed from Wydo in the slot and rifled a shot over Niagara goaltender Jackson Teichroeb's shoulder for Jacklin's 10th goal this season.
Midway through the second, Lynch pushed the lead to 2-0, muscling a shot through Teichroeb's padding for his 15th.
"They were flying," Schooley said of the first line.
Colonials sophomore goaltender Terry Shafer, named Atlantic Hockey goaltender of the week the past two weeks, made 39 saves in his second shutout this season. He spent the past two days with a "lower-body injury," he said, and didn't know until game time whether he'd be able to start.
"I thought Terry Shafer was outstanding," Schooley said. "He made every save look easy."
"He was unreal," Jacklin added.
Robert Morris buried the visiting Purple Eagles with a four-on-four goal from senior forward Colin South late in the second and two more tallies from sophomore forwards Brandon Denham and David Friedmann early in the third.
The Colonials' game-worn commemorative jerseys were auctioned off during the game, with the proceeds going to the Robert Morris Veterans Emergency Fund.
NOTE -- Wydo collided with Teichroeb late in the third period and spent the remainder of the game getting his leg looked at on the bench. Schooley said he didn't know the extent of the injury, but he'd been given the indication it appeared "minor."

Builders surprise Metolius woman with wheelchair ramp
Christmas came early for 85-year-old Metolius resident Nina Rosenbaum when volunteers showed up last week to build her a wheelchair ramp for free.
In an effort coordinated by Transitions of Redmond-Sisters, the building materials were donated by Parr Lumber of Madras and the labor was performed by volunteers Pete Post, Don Lehman and Gary Frazier of Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers of Redmond.
Rosenbaum has multiple health problems and gets around by inching along in her walker at home, or using a wheelchair when she goes out.
Before the ramp was built, Rosenbaum said, "People had to help me in and out of the back door, where the steps aren't as tall."
Rosenbaum has been a client of Transitions, which is part of Hospice of Redmond-Sisters, since June 2006. Last summer, Transitions was also able to secure a free power lift chair for her.
Transitions, which serves people with life-limiting illnesses, assists clients in a region ranging from Madras to Redmond, Powell Butte and Camp Sherman.
The program is offered free to families, with approval from their physician. A trained and screened volunteer is assigned to the client or family to help them find community resources, give respite care to caregivers, provide information about illnesses, run errands, do light housekeeping, and offer friendship and support.
Program coordinator Sue Stafford noted, "We also provide occasional homemade soup, casseroles and bread to clients who are unable to get Meals on Wheels. And we work in partnership with a youth program which provides free supervised labor to do yard cleanup, help with heavy chores and deliver and stack free firewood."
For more information on Transitions, Stafford can be contacted at 504-2388.
Of the ramp, which allows her to use her front door, Rosenbaum said, "It surprised me. I didn't know about it until they started working. It's a wonderful gift."

Ex Hex
Album samples
The former Autoclave and Helium big wig returns with her third solo effort and first for Lookout! Records. Bringing along only drummer Devin Ocampo of the Medications and Fugazi's drummer, Brendan Canty, for his production talents, Ex Hex sports a sharper, rough-hewn sound -- an almond shell surrounding the The Golden Dove's (2002) cream center. Old Helium-heads should be pleased, but anyone yearning for a comfier sound should take heart in vocals that continue to push boundaries without turning noses.
Album samples
With song-titles like "C/Pach" and "Bronchusevenmx24" and albums entitled Incunabula, this U.K. duo may have finally hit upon an apt, lucid description of their mangled electronica with Untitled, their eighth full-length, released by Warp. Sean Booth and Rob Brown continue to provide more stabbing, schist-like electronics -- music as much for consumers of bottled anti-psychotics as consumers of cartons of vinyl. But artists that quietly and stubbornly test pop music's patience as much as our own deserve a full dose of respect.
Mice Parade
Bem-Vinda Vontade
Bubble Core
Album samples
Everyone knows bands can change, but fans of Mice Parade's previous efforts, which were typified by the Tortoise-like swaths of electronic post-rock on 1999's Ramda, will surely be surprised by the folkisms of Bem-Vinda Vontade. Even the vocals are plentiful for this once-instrumental solo outfit -- Adam Pierce's hum-drum monotone rubs up the ethereal purr of Mum's Kristin. But whether Pierce is fronting a nylon-string-strumming live band, as he does here, or mix-n-matching beats on his own, Mice Parade is worth coming out for.
Roots Manuva
Awfully Deep
Big Dada
Album samples
For a man who describes himself as a "big foot blacker than soot," Roots Manuva's music remains a multi-colored, radiant thing -- a skittering window into the vibrant sound-system culture that continues to inform Britain's emerging hip-hop scene. Before the Streets and Dizzee Rascal gave British hip-hop its cover stories, Rodney Smith (a.k.a. Roots Manuva) was getting nominated for a Mercury Prize for 2001's Run Come Save Me. Though it's been a while, Awfully Deep shows those four years weren't all lost down pints of Guinness. Smith's baritone has retained its potency, and his arsenal of jungle rhythms, dancehall stomps and cell-phone chirps don't pull any punches.

Pacific Outdoor Equipment Bomber Pad Cadi
Deluxe Cushion
If you want mattresslike comfort and are willing to carry a few extra ounces to get it, this is your pad. The 1.6-inch-thick self-inflater has two separate open-cell foam chambers layered one atop the other–with the bottom chamber drilled out for weight and bulk savings. Testers found the innovative design extremely comfortable, with a slightly firmer, more substantial feel than single-layer pads–great for smoothing out bumpy ground. To get the most out of the Tuo, first blow up the bottom layer firmly, then puff up the top layer.
Lie down, and adjust top-layer inflation to your preferred softness. The unique system also means you'll have emergency padding if one chamber is punctured. Available in two additional sizes: short and luxury/thick. $94; 2 lbs. 3 oz.; 20"x72"x1.6"; nemoequipment.com
Designed for river gear coverage or crashing in rocky parking lots. 420D top and bottom make this pad ready for almost any duty.

Fans went crazy at a concert in North Carolina and mobbed James Blunt. Now he needs to get an emergency surgery on his finger! James talked about how the incident happened, saying,
"I jumped off stage at the end of the gig and was chased by women, and even some men, in the crowd. I started running and the next thing I knew I had broken my finger. It was a funny moment being chased, but when I got back on stage it was nerve-racking looking down and realising the finger was pointing the wrong way. Upon reflection, it was dumb to jump into the crowd but in a way it was my own fault. I had leather-soled shoes on and just slipped."
The doctors are going to have to reset the finger before putting it in plaster.
"I need it to be right but the idea of having them take a hammer and smash my finger into two isn't so thrilling."
And James can't get the finger fixed right away because he's on tour. So he's waiting for a gap in his schedule, and for now a friend is filling in on the piano for him. But the singer/songwriter is anxious to get better.
"I need it fixed. I need all my fingers to work properly. Not just for performing but for partying."
ONTD, Bauer Griffin

Pink or Red Eyes in Children and Teens
Pink or Red Eyes in Children
The usual cause of one or both eyes turning pink or red is conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis, also known as "pink eye," is inflammation (redness and swelling) of the conjunctiva, the tissue covering the "whites" of the eyes and the inside of the eyelids.
The most common cause is an infection from germs (bacteria or viruses) that are passed from person to person. However, conjunctivitis also can be caused by an allergic reaction to something (for example, tree pollen), by contact with something irritating (for example, smoke in the air or chlorine in a pool), or rarely, by problems of the eye.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police say speed may be a factor in a deadly crash involving Salma Hayek's brother.
Lt. Andrew Neiman tells the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/1kckrm2 ) that 40-year-old Sami Hayek may have been going too fast on a curvy stretch of Sunset Boulevard when he lost control of a high-powered Ford GT Sunday afternoon.
Neiman says the muscle car fishtailed, crossed into oncoming traffic and hit a pickup truck.
The crash broke Hayek's ribs and killed his passenger, photographer and Grammy-winning art director Ian Cuttler Sala.
The pickup driver suffered a broken foot.
Neiman says no drugs or alcohol were involved.
The actress's younger brother is a furniture designer. Efforts to reach him and Salma Hayek were unsuccessful.
According to his website, the 43-year-old Cuttler won a Grammy for his design of the "Johnny Cash: The Legend" music box set.
Speed may be cause of Hayek brother's deadly crash

Allure of the Figawi
Our writer recalls his favorite moments from 18 Figawi races across Nantucket Sound.
"we are gonna hit that boat!" The man yelling those words over the wind, out in the middle of Nantucket Sound, was my first Figawi captain.
Boats at sea are not democracies. The captain's rule is law. But we had a little parliamentary problem on board. This captain was brilliant. He was—quite literally—a rocket scientist. In fact, let's call him Rocket Man. Genius? Yes. Decisive? Not so much.
The first mate and most of the crew were screaming at the helmsman to, "Round up, round up!" But the captain was yelling, "Fall off, fall off!" Either maneuver would have saved us. Rounding up would point the bow into the wind, slowing her. Falling off would further fill the sails with wind and speed us up.
But we did neither. We started to tack, but then didn't. Now, flapping sails added thrashing, taut-snapping sounds to the noise of confusion on deck. I was caught mid-tack, in no man's land halfway across the cabin top, when the captain started screaming about the imminent collision. I grabbed a deck rail and braced for impact.

Apparently one way to really piss off the FBI is to sell hard drives with the label "secret" on them. They've been
investigating the loss of some disks with classified information on them from the nearby Los Alamos National
Laboratory in New Mexico, and weren't too amused when the owner of the Black Hole Surplus Store and Museum, which sells
surplus from the lab, decided to capitalize on the controversy by slapping some stickers on some old hard drives, and
confiscated them last week because they might be a security risk.

Konica Minolta's DiMAGE Scan Dual IV; Make Superb High-Resolution Scans From 35mm Slides And Negatives
Flat-bed scanners are remarkably popular and they outsell dedicated film scanners by a wide margin. That's understandable because flat-beds are affordable, simple to operate, and can produce excellent scans of photographic prints, art work, and even small objects. Many of the latest models are even more versatile, capable of scanning frames of film as well, using a transparency adapter unit (TPU). While film scanners can produce even higher image quality from "tiny" 35mm slides and negatives, such models have been substantially more expensive and more complicated. That's changing rapidly. Today you can buy a high-resolution film scanner for under $250 and it will produce excellent scans with great ease of use.
A perfect example of this trend, the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual IV ($239,
street price) boasts a full 3200dpi resolution and other impressive specifications.
Take advantage of its advanced capabilities and you'll get several benefits
over flat-bed scans of 35mm film: more detail in bright highlight and dark shadow
areas, fewer optical aberrations such as Newton's rings (a rainbow-hued
circular pattern), less digital noise (colored specks) in shadow areas, and
superior definition of fine detail.
Convenience And Ease Of Use
Although this is a pro-caliber scanner in some respects, the 15-minute setup
and installation process is quite easy, guided by the instruction manual and
on-screen recommendations. The kit includes holders for four slides and for
a six-frame strip of negatives; these are sturdy and well-designed. After reading
the step by step instructions, I loaded some negatives and launched the Easy
Scan Utility software that allows for virtually decision-free scanning. In a
couple of minutes, I made my first high-resolution scan, with 12.5-megapixel
resolution in a 35MB TIFF file.
Although Konica Minolta also provides the DS Dual 4 Utility software, with
numerous user-selectable features, the Easy Scan Utility is a fine starting
point. It's simple and intuitive to use, perfect for anyone without much
experience with complicated image-enhancing tools. Easy Scan Utility is also
great when you need to work quickly and do not have time for making many pre-scan
adjustments. Start with a slide or negative that does not exhibit any serious
technical problems, and you can make good scans quickly, using the automated
After a brief warm-up period, insert the film holder and identify the film type,
as prompted. Click on the [Next] button and the software will generate a thumbnail
preview. Select the "Auto Image Correction" feature and decide whether
you want to apply the fully automated "Dust Removal" tool (recommended)
and the "Reduce Grain" tool (necessary only for ISO 800 or 1600
film). Autofocus and cropping will be completed automatically.
Click on the [Next] button, and select one of the options for the scan: for
a specific print size that you plan to make, for a 3- or 5-megapixel image file,
or the "highest resolution" scan that's ideal if you want
to make large prints. Click the [Scan] button, provide a file name and a "Save
To" location in your computer, and specify TIFF as the file format. If
you selected the "Save at Highest Resolution" (3200dpi) option,
the DiMAGE Scan Dual IV will generate a 4300x2900 pixel image in about one minute
with a fast PC with USB 2.0 connection for high-speed data transfer. In the
lower resolution settings, the scanning speed is much faster.
Open the TIFF image in Photoshop Elements 2.0 software (included) and you should
find that it's quite pleasing. Be sure to sharpen it with Unsharp Mask
or another filter, because the Easy Scan Utility offers no option for adjusting
sharpness. If you want greater control over your subsequent scans, try this:
Check the "Adjust Image" box in the Easy Scan Utility and the software
will provide convenient slider controls for correcting brightness, contrast,
and color saturation (richness). Make adjustments until the small preview image
appears to be just right and you should be even happier with the resulting scans.

Share another experience before you go.The crust is AWESOME! Pepperoni is think cut. The sauce taste like marinara. So good. I would go out of my way for Leo pizza. My favorite!
I've had quite a few gluten free pizzas, but theirs is by far the best I have had! Huge find! My only regret is I'm just visiting the area & won't be able to have on a regular basis!
The lexington park location is hit or miss on the food and the service is always terrible. The leonardtown location is pretty consistent on the quality of food, but the service is so slow, but I think it is the kitchen that struggles on getting the food out in a timely manner.
My husband and I went to Ledo Pizza for lunch, we were the only couple there at the time. We ordered wings and a sandwich. We also tried to order a beer only to be told their ABC license had expired and were not allowed to sell us any alcohol. The wings were burned. Other than the terrible wings, we... More
The wife and I were looking for a good sub shop close to home and the internet search turned up Ledo's. I entered the building and was greeted by a friendly young lady who quickly took my order of two cheese steak subs, I think they are called Ledo's famous cheese steaks or something like that. While we waited we... More
Great pizza, stomboli, calzone and awesome salads with a good mix of sandwich's and hoggies. Their Ledo dressing is the bomb.
My husband loved their stromboli. The chicken wings are very good. The service is fair. I had a good salad.
Great pizza and wonderful staff placed a take out order. Very efficient and great choices definitely would order again
Ledo's pizza has been around for 50 years. Always a good choice for real good pizza. They have a big menu but I must admit I'm a pizza lover and that's all I get.
Husband and I went here in search of good pizza in Lexington Park. I think this was the worst we have found so far. The crust was like crackers (not dough) as indicated in someone else's review. The pizza is square and was served directly on a plastic square tray. These trays are typically used to carry food containers, not... More

The Sharpie pen is an asset for creative projects, and it is also practical, since it can write on almost any surface, including glass, wood, stone, plastic, metal and paper. Use a Sharpie to write a personalized message on a mug or decorate it with a creative design. Because a Sharpie can draw on almost any kind of material, most shoes can be drawn on just as if you were sketching a design on a sheet of paper.
