It's bye-bye, Coco Austin, and bye-bye, "Peepshow."
The city's grandest striptease production is ending its run at Planet Hollywood on Labor Day Weekend, Base Entertainment announced late Tuesday night. Its final show is set for Sept. 1.
"We are extremely grateful to all of those who have had a hand in making 'Peepshow' a huge success at Planet Hollywood," said Scott Zeiger of Base Entertainment, the show's production company. " 'Peepshow' broke new ground in the world of the Las Vegas topless show; the first to be a full-throttle production show, it reinvented the iconic Las Vegas showgirl in a way that both celebrated and empowered women."
Putting an adult flair on scenes based on famous nursery rhymes and children's tales, the show opened in April 2009 and was the production that first put Holly Madison on a Vegas stage. Mel B. and Kelly Monaco fronted the opening cast. Madison took over the role as Bo Peep for a little more than three years in July 2009. Aubrey O'Day and Shoshana Bean also were featured in the performance.
The difficulty in finding a suitable replacement for Austin, whose contract extension to star as Bo Peep ends as the show closes, was a concern from producers. Recruiting a big-name performer willing to perform topless in a full-scale Strip production show has been a challenge for producers.
"Peepshow" will have performed 1,500 shows by the time it closes in September.
"It has been an amazing journey for the whole 'Peepshow' team," said the show's director, Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell. "I couldn't be more proud of the remarkable cast and crew for all of their hard work, passion and support in making what was once a dream an incredible reality."

I've been neglecting you all, haven't I?
It's not deliberate: I've been incredibly busy so far this fall, so busy I even took a brief break from my grove activities! I've been doing twice-daily devotionals, working on some study program excitement, engaging in some interesting druidic correspondence, and even trying my hand at a few small works of magic. I took a quick trip to Three Cranes Grove for the autumn equinox, which was very fun: it's always a delight to see friends and meet new folks. I've also been planning for an upcoming all-night Druid Moon.
And that's not even mentioning my personal and professional life, where things are really cooking, so much so that I've finally succumbed to a nasty autumn cold. Yikes. I thought I'd take advantage of the illness-induced slowdown, though, to put down a few musings here.
I spent some time last week reading Mrs. B's Guide to Household Witchery, which was a truly charming (haha, oh, puns) book. Most of you who read this blog know I'm not really into hardcore magical-practice, that I feel doubtful about spells, ceremonial magic, grimoires, calling on spirits to do my bidding, and other things of the kind. I'm starting to get over my hebejeebs, though, partly for personal spiritual reasons and partly because I'd like to be able to perform workings for those around me.
Household witchery (or domestic magic: pick your own name) has been my gateway magic, if you will. I enjoy crystals, largely because of their beauty and the symbolic magical correspondences assigned to them, though I'd dispute their New Age healing powers I like herbs for the same reasons, though I do credit them with palliative properties. And household magic capitalizes on common, readily available ingredients like kitchen herbs, seeds, candles, and easy-to-acquire stones.
[Sidebar: That's one aspect of Mrs. B's book that I loved: she recommends common ingredients and offers substitutes for the rarer herbs. For example, she recommends using an Earl Grey tea bag for bergamot. Easy, brilliant, and less costly than trying to track down herbs no one keeps in their pantry.]
Herbal magic, candle magic, and the creation of oils or incense: these, to me, all fall into the domestic category. I'd like to create a few basics to use for purifying and consecrating tools, soliciting inspiration, asking for protection, or banishing negativity.
I'm a complete newbie at this side of Druidry, though, so I'm learning as I go. One thing that's already tripping me up a bit is balancing the spiritual and practical aspects of magic. Am I praying for aid, when asking for inspiration, or putting my own intent for inspiration onto, say, a candle, and willing it into life?
It's a distinction I need to make for myself, I think. Hmm.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. — not to be confused with the racecar driver — is set to make a stop in Los Angeles with indie pop Aussies Atlas Genius and L.A.'s own Family of the Year on Nov. 6 at the Wiltern Theater.
The three indie bands are expected to rock the theater with respective hits like "If You Didn't See Me (Then You Weren't On The Dancefloor)" that got Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. fans off the wall to "Trojans," which brought Atlas Genius to the top of American hot lists, and "Hero" that got Family of the Year on the soundtrack for several shows including HBO's "Girls" and VH1's "Couples Therapy."
The Detroit duo that makes up Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. — Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott — will continue their fall tour with shows that include stops Nov. 7 in San Francisco, Nov. 9 in Portland and even a hometown stop in Detroit on Nov. 13. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is promoting its sophomore album, "The Speed of Things," which was released on Oct. 8.
All the while, Atlas Genius continues to run on its successful debut album, "When It Was Now," released in February.
Formed in November 2009 by the Jeffery brothers — frontman Keith on guitar and Michael on drums — and Darren Sell on keyboards, Atlas Genius made waves in the United States with "Trojan." The band's latest single,"If So," is currently making the rounds on the airwaves and is "catching up in the Top 15 at Modern Rock," according to a press release.
Tickets for the Nov. 6 show are still available at ticketmaster.com. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Wiltern Theater is at 3790 Wilshire Blvd.

This bag is so cute. I was actually really surprised because it also has two more pockets that the pictures and the video did not show. I added a picture to the gallery. Great material and all-around amazingly functional. I wish the side pockets could be just a little deeper, but still very functional.

I bought this bag for the spring-summer season and it's everything I wanted it to be! Very happy with the purchase. I am little, at 5'3" and the size is perfect for me. There are pockets for everything..sunglasses, phone, keys, lipstick, and my zillion reward cards! Now if I could only remember where they all are! Well made and looks stunning!

I purchased the Kendra in the teak multi. The description didn't show or state that on the sides of the purse it is glittery, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The bag is made very strong, and is of high quality. The inside is cute design/colors and has many pockets. Definitely helps in keeping organized. This purse will last a long time, and appears that it will hold up really well. It is perfect colors if you wear a lot of black and browns. My only complaint would be that the straps could be a little longer, or adjustable. They are too short when wearing a heaving coat. If you're considering buying this purse, I would def say get it.

I am absolutely loving the Kendra Satchel! I bought the brown snake multi and the color combination works very well. I already have a brown purse, a black purse and I wanted something that would act as a neutral and go with many different types of outfits and this purse does it all! I originally wanted to get the Kendra Tote, but it was out of stock when I ordered so I went with the Satchel and I am so glad I did. The size is perfect, the tote would have been too large. The satchel has room for all my items and it is very easy to keep all my items organized between all the different pockets and sections. I can locate my stuff quickly because there is a place for everything and everything stays in its place! This is the perfect purse and one of my favorites! I own Coach, Lucky Brand, Fossil, but I have several Sak purses...great value, design, style, and function.

I've carried this bag for a week or two now. I LOVE this bag. Well made. I ordered the neutral 'stone sparkle' color. It's perfect for the spring and summer - very neutral and goes with everything. I love the subtle, perfect touch of metallic silver leather on the sides. I love the lining and the ample storage compartments - no annoying center zip inside the purse - thank you! Almost ordered the sunshine yellow color - that one is very nice looking. Would definitely recommend this handbag. Great buy!

Just got my Kendra satchel in Teak Multi and it is Beautiful. It is a bit bigger than I expected. Tons of pockets to help keep me organized. My only concern is that the zipper doesn't go the full length on the bag which might allow small items to spill out. Hence the 4 out of 5 stars.

Stoker (UK - BD)
Chris' review of Stoker on Blu-ray is not formed by things that are of itself alone...
Academy Award Winner Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska and Matthew Goode star in this "darkly wicked, beautifully executed mystery" (Los Angeles Times) by critically acclaimed filmmaker Park Chan-wook (Oldboy). Following the tragic death of her father, India Stoker meets her charismatic uncle, whom she never knew existed. When he moves in to comfort India and her mother, the two find that the newest member of their family might actually be their worst nightmare. (taken from the PR.)
Now I'm not much for film criticism (I leave that to Gabe Powers), but long-time readers may know that I'm a big fan of Park Chan-wook's Korean output, particularly his adaptation of the Japanese manga Oldboy. In Stoker, his first English-language feature, he treads the familiar ground of the dark psychological thriller working from a script by Wentworth Miller (of Prison Break fame) and Erin Cressida Wilson. In doing so Park and his team have crafted a densely layered film deserving of multiple viewings, full of the deft touches and symbolism that are the hallmark of his style, ensuring fans of his previous work will be immediately at home with these audio-visual calling cards. Technically there is much to admire, not least Chung Chung-hoon's cinematography and Clint Mansell's score, but the cast are also laudable, particularly Mia Wasikowska and Matthew Goode in roles that could easily have been underplayed and overplayed respectively.
It would seem that Stoker is also a film that generates a great deal of discussion. Without giving too much away, I've read some interesting interpretations of the film on the Internet, with many drawing some very literal conclusions from the title's allusions to vampirism. I can almost understand people drawing those conclusions - after all, Charlie is never seen eating food, he drinks red wine, holds an almost hypnotic sway over women, and has a preternatural ability to move from place to place - but for me the title is clearly figurative. This is where the other star of the film comes into play: the editing. The removal of the odd line here, the trimming of a few frames there… these excisions conspire to create an even greater sense of ambiguity than was present in the original shooting script (if the deleted scenes are any indication). I'm getting into spoiler territory here though, which is something I was keen to avoid with this review. Revealing too many of the film's secrets would diminish the effectiveness of its twists and turns, so I'll finish by simply asking that you pause to give thought to Stoker the next time you're browsing your Blu-ray retailer of choice. Any doubts I had about Park's ability to deal with the language barrier have been banished, and I can't wait to see what his next project has to offer.
I saw Stoker projected digitally at my local cinema and was very impressed by the quality of the image. I'm happy to report that the Blu-ray release mirrors that presentation, offering up some truly sumptuous visuals. At first glance you could be forgiven for thinking that the film was shot digitally, so pristine is the 2.40:1 (1080/24p AVC) transfer, but Stoker was actually shot on 35mm and the resultant image is wonderfully textured. The cinematography from Park's long-time collaborator Chung Chung-hoon is particularly striking, utilising all manner of visually arresting techniques that are further enhanced by non-invasive computer generated imagery and marvellous editing. There is plenty of fine detail in facial close-ups and clothing, while loose stands of hair and environmental elements such as blades of grass and raindrops are resolved with remarkable clarity.
With a great deal of the action occurring inside the austere confines of the Stoker household, the film's palette is actually quite restrained for the most part, but there are occasional splashes of brilliant colour peppered throughout. Contrast is just about perfect and blacks are inky without sacrificing shadow detail, something that is of particular importance during one of the film's pivotal scenes. To repeat my earlier comments, Stoker is a visual feast; inventive, artistic, and thematically similar to much of Park's other work. The Blu-ray presentation is remarkably effective in translating this to the home environment, making for one of the best looking releases I've seen this year.
As impressed as I was with the film's visuals during the theatrical showing, I was even more dazzled by the soundtrack. India's contention that she 'hears things others cannot hear' is fully realised in the film's sound design, which utilises every available channel to place even the subtlest detail with deliberate precision. Conversations, footsteps, the tick-tocking of a metronome, the sound of a knife on a chopping board, the sipping of wine... all of these innocuous, incidental sounds are treated with the utmost importance, given the sort of attention normally reserved for more obvious, in-your-face effects. Bass is robust when it needs to be - the roar of Charlie's sports car and the rumble of thunder spring immediately to mind - but it never overpowers the other elements of the mix. Dialogue is also well-prioritised and superbly rendered, not once sounding muddied or indistinct.
Music plays a huge part in Stoker's success, with Clint Mansell's score treading a fine line between light and melodic and dark and sinister. Fusing classical and modern elements, it evokes a range of emotions informed by India's journey, but there's an omnipresent tension that lends an ethereal creepiness to the proceedings. It's a wonderfully nuanced score and a testament to the composer's work that the CD is on almost constant play in my car, and has been since the film's release three months ago. Other highlights include a piano piece from Philip Glass - as performed by India and Charlie in the film - a fantastic track called 'Becomes the Colour' from violinist/hip-hop artist Emily Wells, the brilliant 'Summer Wine' by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood, and even a touch of Verdi for good measure.
I wouldn't normally devote such a large portion of a review to the audio side of things, but I really was that impressed with Stoker's soundtrack. The majority of Park's films have ingenious sound design, and Stoker shares much in common with his 'Vengeance Trilogy' in its use of sound and music. I say this because its use of sound to describe the protagonist's environment reminds me of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, the odd, often abstract effects evoke memories of Oldboy, and the pitch-perfect, piano-heavy score is reminiscent of Lady Vengeance. To cut a long story short, Stoker sounds just about perfect on Blu-ray.
The Blu-ray release includes a fairly healthy selection of bonus material, especially when you consider the film's relatively low-key status. The disc also features some wonderfully intricate menus that pay homage to the theatrical poster art (the same art that was originally going to be used for the sleeve).
- Deleted Scenes: Three short deleted/extended scenes are included, and expand on several of the film's key moments.
- Stoker: A Filmmaker's Journey: This is a genuinely entertaining and informative making-of featurette that deals with writing, development, casting, visuals, and the experience of working director Park. All of the principals are interviewed, along with Park himself (here subtitled in English).
- Photography by Mary Ellen Mark: A comprehensive collection of on-set photographs that can be watched as a slideshow or manually advanced.
- London Theatre Design: This is a stills gallery with a difference. For Stoker's London premiere the Curzon was decorated to mirror the film's design aesthetic and the results are pretty impressive.
- Theatrical Behind-the-Scenes: A number of short featurettes are collected under this heading, but much of the footage is recycled from the longer 'Filmmaker's Journey'. However, there are a couple of completely original pieces:
- The Making of the Limited Edition Poster: A fascinating look at the creation of the poster set to music by Emily Wells.
- Mysterious Characters: A very short piece featuring the cast and crew talking about the characters.
- Director's Vision: If ever Park Chan-wook was in need of an ego boost he need only watch this featurette, as everyone involved enthuses about his greatness.
- Designing the Look: Production designer Thérèse DePrez is interviewed and the cast and crew praise her efforts.
- Creating the Music: Composer Clint Mansell discusses his approach to film scoring and the experience of working with director Park.
- Red Carpet Premiere: This menu is divided into two sub-sections:
- Red Carpet Footage: Over fifteen minutes of footage from the Korean premiere set to music by Emily Wells. A lot of the running time is simply footage of people arriving and singing autographs, but Park, Wasikowska and Wells are also interviewed.
- 'Becomes the Colour' Performance by Emily Wells: The artist performs a live rendition of her trackin front of what looks like an assembly of journalists (judging by the sea of glowing laptop screens).
- Theatrical Trailer and TV Spots: A comprehensive collection of trailers and TV spots are the cherry on top of the bonus package.
In the hands of a lesser director Stoker could have been a bland, dare I say pedestrian thriller, but Park Chan-wook's elevates it to another level. At this point Stoker is hands-down my favourite film of the year, with only Cloud Atlas and The Place Beyond the Pines resonating with anything like the intensity of this film. While the tragically low domestic box office take was bolstered by worldwide ticket sales the film failed to recoup its production budget, let alone the cost of advertising. As much as I'd like to label its underperformance as 'mystifying', I think Fox struggled to effectively market the film and a limited theatrical run didn't help matters.
Thankfully we live in a time when many overlooked films gain popularity on home video, so there's some hope that Stoker will find deserved recognition on DVD and Blu-ray. The superb audio-visual quality of this release certainly shouldn't hurt its cause. If you're in the mood for a 'Hitchcockian' thriller with superior visuals, stunning audio and a collection of surprisingly informative bonus material, Stoker should be right at the top of your 'to buy' list.

I think this movie is criminally underrated. In the 60's and at least no Certified Fresh? This was right up the critics' alley. Superb visuals, tremendous performances, suspenseful plot twists/story arcs, a unique style. What more could they have wanted? Sure some of the storylines are burrowed but with the direction it goes in and the package as a whole, it makes something bland and tried into something fresh and dare I say, innovative? I haven't rented the Blu-ray but I did see it on On Demand (in HD), and even the visuals were VERY striking. Would love to own it on Blu-ray but when it becomes cheaper.

It was generally well-received by critics (for what that's worth), but it appears to have divided the public. I've certainly read some very negative comments about the plotting, visual style etc. For me, as I tried to articulate in the review, it's more about the overall mood than specific plot elements. It's one of those films that almost defies criticism; so perfectly stylised that you could almost dispense with dialogue entirely. I absolutely loved it.

The Senate has extended its hours to try to pass the Abbott government's carbon tax repeal - whether that takes hours, days or a weekend or two.
The government kept senators in the upper house late into the evening on Tuesday as it debated the carbon tax repeal, and could keep the chamber open much longer if it doesn't get its way.
Senators will need to remain in Canberra every single day until the carbon tax is repealed and other bills considered, with extended sitting hours on Thursday and "each calendar day" after that.
The repeal legislation was delayed by last-minute backroom talks between the government and key crossbench senators, but eventually got underway in the upper house.
Earlier, senior government figures said anyone who believed the tax would be repealed on Tuesday held a false impression.
The debate was listed on the Senate's order of business on Tuesday after the bills passed the lower house on Monday evening.
Manager of government business Mitch Fifield held meetings with party leaders, whips and crossbench officials on Tuesday.
Among the priority bills are the Qantas Sale Amendment Bill and the Australian National Preventative Health Agency (Abolition) Bill.
The government was endeavouring to work co-operatively with "colleagues in this place" as far as possible to reach agreement on how the repeal bills were dealt with, Senator Fifield told parliament.
Those discussions also involved "some other important pieces of legislation".
Government leader in the lower house Christopher Pyne held talks with Palmer United Party leader Clive Palmer just before question time.
The government focused on the carbon tax during question time in the lower house.
Treasurer Joe Hockey noted Wednesday was the first anniversary of Kevin Rudd's announcement that Labor would terminate the carbon tax if re-elected.
Mr Hockey said Labor was now preventing the government from abolishing the tax and would still be defending it at the time of the next election.
"The carbon tax and the Labor party are one and the same," he said.
Labor has called on the government to replace the fixed carbon price with a floating price or emissions trading scheme.
The carbon tax is expected to be repealed with the support of the three Palmer United Party senators, Victoria's Ricky Muir and at least two of four other crossbenchers who campaigned against it.

A long time ago, we asked everyone to show their desktops, and we figured it would be nice, on this (for me) cold and dreary Monday to do that all over again, over two years later. The questions remain the same: cluttered or clean? Icons or no icons? Dual or single panel layout in GNOME? How free-form is your Plasma desktop? Are there any real computer users in here (as in, using CDE)? Read on for my own two desktops.

I remember taking a beginning computing class waaaaay back in 1987. I was using a used C64 with GEOS, and had been for months. Then I go into a collegiate computer course, and that naked white prompt was staring balefully at me. I remember asking out loud, "You're kidding, right?"

Guy Fights Real-Life Darth Vader, Mrs. Vader Gets Punched Instead
Changing our name to something completely badass is one of those fantasies us guys have, but we never follow through with it. Why? The women in our lives would kill us. You know-- "The Terminator" or "Optimus Prime." Well, we're giving a big ole' head nod to Mark Nokes over in England, because he legally changed his name to Darth Vader. Can you imagine role playing in bed with your lady and having full entitlement to go, "I am your father"? Boom--panty-dropper.
But that's not the point here. Recently, Darth Vader got into a fight with Ikbale Hare, both are real people, and Mrs. Vader was involved.
Ikbale Hare and his wife Kelly (completely lame name in this context) are the Dark Lord's neighbors in Wallsall, England. Hare apparently accused Vader of trying to coax Kelly to his sexual dark side, and Hare got T-Oed, to say the least.
The wannabe Jedi tried to fight Darth Vader with some scathing words, and before things progressed physically and light sabers were whipped out, Mrs. Vader tried to play peacekeeper by putting herself between the two fighting forces. Because no one would ever hit a lady, let alone the Dark Lord's woman, right?
Ikbale Hare did. He punched her square in the face and then proceeded to throw some sand at the dude.
No one was seriously hurt, but Hare does face lifelong embarrassment among the Jedi community for using sand-throwing as a defense mechanism.

Windsor roar through to NSW Cup Grand Final
Windsor have come from 4th position to book a place at the NSW Cup grand final, courtesy of a 32-26 victory over Balmain Ryde-Eastwood Tigers.
Balmain Ryde though, were first on the board with Darren Nicholls scoring. Sean Meaney converted and it was 6-0. Windsor would hit right back with Storm bound Maurice Blair fighting with the goal-posts to eventually get the ball down and level the scores.
Sean Meaney would take advantage of some sloppy reads in defence to restore Balmain's lead. Balmain would extend their lead to eight after a penalty for the defenders laying in the ruck too long making it 14 points to 6.
The Wolves would stay patient though, forcing repeat sets and their reward finally came when big Steve Meredith sold a dummy and reduced the advantage of Balmain to two. Following a Trindall 40/20, Sandor Earl would given Windsor an unlikely lead scoring right on halftime making it 16-14 at oranges.
Windsor continued their domination when Nigel Plum burst through and wouldn't be stopped making it 22-14 not long in the second half. Balmain were a mess and had no direction with some easy passes being dropped. Their dreams of going to a grand final slowly slipping away, with each passing minute.
It seemed all academic when Michael Mate crossed in the corner making it two converted tries the difference after Trindall missed the conversion. It seemed like a lost cause before David Gower punched through the line and offloaded to Farlow to give Balmain a sniff at 26-20 with eleven and a half to go.
That wouldn't last long though, with Joesph Paulo and Zoram Watene combining for the latter to score and make the advantage twelve again with not long to go. Balmain would make it closer when Ryan Carr scored from dummy half but that would be all. Windsor winning 32-26 and booking a spot in the grand final.
Windsor Wolves 32 (Blair, Meredith, Earl, Plum, Mate Watene tries. Trindall 4/6) defeated Balmain Ryde Eastwood Tigers 26 (Nicholls, Meaney, Farlow, Carr tries. Meaney 5/5)

October 17, 2012 -
Financial Services Committee Chairman Spencer Bachus today released "The Dodd-Frank Act, the Persistence of 'Too Big to Fail,' and the Institutionalization of Government Bailouts." The report is a seven-page analysis prepared by Committee staff that refutes claims made by Dodd-Frank supporters that the 2,300-page law ends "too big to fail" and ends bailouts.
The report coincides with the publication in yesterday's print edition of the Washington Times of an op-ed written by Chairman Bachus on the economic impact of the Dodd-Frank Act's regulatory burden.

David Hall: San Diego half dollars were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1935 and the Denver Mint in 1936. They were struck to commemorate the "California-Pacific International Exposition, held in San Diego in 1935 and 1936. They were sold at the Exposition for $1 per coin. For the 1935-S San Diego there were 70,132 coins distributed. But actually, only about half reached public hands and some 30,000 pieces were retained by a few individuals associated with the Exposition. Seveal hoards were disbursed in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1990s, approximately 5000 1935-S and 5000 1936-D San Diegos were sold into the market. Bottom line: the San Diego is a "hoard coin". In fact, PCGS has graded more 1935-S San Diegos (over 10,000 pieces) than any other silver commemorative of the 1892 to 1954 classic commemorative era.
The typical 1935-S San Diego is a frosty white Gem MS65. There are also several thousand MS64s and over a 1000 PCGS graded MS66s. This is a coin that is readily available in Gem condition.

The city of Boston has dropped the Microsoft Exchange service in favor of Google Apps for Government, the latest of a line of cities that have recently made the switch to Google.
Boston will pay $800,000 to move about 20,000 employees to a Google package that will include Gmail, Google Docs and Google's document storage service, according to a report in the Boston Globe. Dropping the Microsoft services will net the city savings of about $280,000 a year.
The Gmail that government offices use is similar to what consumers use for free, with the exception of larger storage for e-mail. The cost for governments is roughly $50 per user per year. Google also doesn't charge public schools for use of its apps, according to Google.
Analysts reasoned that the higher cost of Microsoft services — about $100 a year per employee, according to the Globe — drove Boston's decision. "The number one reason that organizations are going to Google is price," Gartner Analyst Matt Cain told the Globe. That's a reasonable view considering the public sector budget crunch most cities find themselves in.
Others argue that, in addition to the cost advantage, Google offers a more pure cloud experience. Enterasys Networks, which recently made the switch, said that using Office 365 required administrators to install hardware and software, while Google Apps required only a license agreement.
Responding to the Globe story, Microsoft fired back, saying "the citizens of Boston deserve cloud productivity tools that protect their security and privacy."
That doesn't appear to be a deal breaker for Boston or other cities that have made the switch to Google. Last year, the city of Pittsburgh converted to Google Apps, retiring an Exchange 2003 e-mail system and moving all 3,000 city employees to Google Apps for Government. The city estimated it would save the city about 25 percent in annual support costs.
"Our employees are working more efficiently because they have 500 times more e-mail storage and no longer need to waste time emptying their inboxes," Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said in a testimonial for Google.
Using Google Apps, Pittsburgh is also able to gather all employee e-mail in a central repository, "which helps us meet e-discovery needs much more efficiently," Ravenstahl said.
Even so, the Google Apps vs. Microsoft contest is a match that may be too close to call. Just prior to the Boston switch, Microsoft announced a group of eight local governments and universities were moving to Office 365, including Kansas City, Mo.; Seattle and King County, Wash.; and the San Diego Regional Airport Authority. The city of Chicago, the Environmental Protection Agency and California Institute of Technology are also making the move to Microsoft.

I was going to do the rest of these reviews seperately, but then I remembered, "Oh wow. There are 13 books in this series." So yeah even if I doubled up there would be a good number of reviews on here which is okay (duh, review blog) but the books are repetative so I'm just going to crunch them together into one review. Overall the series has a good central theme that no where is safe from bad people doing bad things. I still love the kids. Klaus is, of course, my favorite. While the stories are set in different places and around different people there is a lot of the same stuff going on. I usually run out of steam after reading The Hostile Hospital simply because I feel like the same story just goes on and on. I like the stories a lot. The characters are always interesting, but I think 13 books is too much. Yes I get why there are 13 books, but for a story like this I think it's not the best. I don't think these books should be read in a row. I stupidly did that with maybe 2 other books between so my brain might forever hate me. Good middle grade series, but do not read them stright through. The series as a whole gets 3.5 howls.

Angel Star by Jennifer Murgia
Summary: Seventeen-year-old Teagan McNeel falls for captivating Garreth Adams and soon discovers that her crush has an eight-point star etched into the palm of his right hand-the mark of an angel.
But where there is light, dark follows, and she and Garreth suddenly find themselves vulnerable to a dark angel's malicious plan that could threaten not only her life, but the lives of everyone she knows.
Divinely woven together, Angel Star takes readers on a reflective journey when one angel's sacrifice collides with another angel's vicious ambition in a way that is sure to have readers searching for their own willpower.
Review: I have heard tons of great things about this book so when I found out I won it in a contest I was pretty darn excited. I liked the story very much. I'm not sure if I believe in guardian angels or not, but the idea that everyone has their own special guardian to watch over them fascinates me. I thought Teagan was a very likable character. I didn't really relate to her except we are both book-addicts. I still thought she was a great character to read and I enjoyed her scenes with Garreth. Garreth was a little too perfect for my tastes, but he was still very crush-worthy. I'm hoping find out more about Teagan's dad in Lemniscate. I also want to know where she's going with Hadrian. I was impressed with this debut novel and I very much look forward to reading the next book.

Darkest Mercy by Melissa Marr
Summary: The Summer King is missing; the Dark Court is bleeding; and a stranger walks the streets of Huntsdale, his presence signifying the deaths of powerful fey.
Aislinn tends to the Summer Court, searching for her absent king and yearning for Seth. Torn between his new queen and his old love, Keenan works from afar to strengthen his court against the coming war. Donia longs for fiery passion even as she coolly readies the Winter Court for battle. And Seth, sworn brother of the Dark King and heir to the High Queen, is about to make a mistake that could cost his life.
Love, despair, and betrayal ignite the Faery Courts, and in the final conflict, some will win . . . and some will lose everything.
Review: I just finished this book and I had to write a review of it ASAP. Darkest Mercy might be my new favorite in this series because Melissa ends everything very well, but the story itself isn't all rainbows and butterflies. Some really good characters die and I felt a blow from every one of the deaths. It hurt to read some of these characters literally walk to their own demise, but it had to happen and I understand that. I like how Melissa wrote the battle scene against War. It wasn't every court is fighting all at once from the beginning. The courts come in shifts. I liked that because she was able to write the entire battle over multiple chapters without it being dull. First, the Darkness fights against War. Then, the Summer arrives. Finally, the Cold. And in doing that, we can see how each King/Queen feels when they enter the battle. The end made me want to stop reading though. Right at the end of the battle my heart just couldn't handle it. I did manage to push through to the end of the book, but it was very hard. Darkest Mercy wrapped everything up very nicely and I am very happy to have had the pleasure of reading this fantastic series.

The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket
Summary: After narrowly escaping the menacing clutches of the dastardly Count Olaf, the three Baudelaire orphans are taken in by a kindly herpetologist with whom they live happily for an all-too-brief time.
Review: This is probably always going to be one of my favorites in the series simply because I love Uncle Monty. He is such a great character and he knows the kids so well without even trying. Of course Count Olaf returns to cause problems for the children, but what else is new? I think another reason why I enjoy this book is because Violet turns into super-spy and breaks into someone's briefcase. That amused me because she should not be doing that as a 14 year old. Sunny is absolutely adorable in this book. Especially when it comes to the IDV. I just wanted to be their and watch the panic and nonsense. Poe still annoys me, but as this is a re-read of the series I already knew that.

What's more, it can take less than an hour using standard household tools to replace the old, suffocating factory air box. Each intake features Volant's Pro 5 filter, which features 5 layers of knock-your-socks-off air filtration all while allowing tons of airflow to the engine.
So, what are you waiting for, get yourself a Volant cold air intake. Your engine, wallet, and your gas pedal will thank you.

Helton closes 17-year career on his terms
LOS ANGELES -- The swing was hard and loud, accompanied by a football-style grunt.
And, yes, it was empty. But that wasn't the point. With 2,519 hits, 592 doubles to rank 16th all-time, 998 extra-base hits and 369 home runs, Todd Helton will not be remembered for the strikeout against the Dodgers' Kenley Jansen in the final at-bat of a 17-season career.View Full Game Coverage
LOS ANGELES -- The swing was hard and loud, accompanied by a football-style grunt.
And, yes, it was empty. But that wasn't the point. With 2,519 hits, 592 doubles to rank 16th all-time, 998 extra-base hits and 369 home runs, Todd Helton will not be remembered for the strikeout against the Dodgers' Kenley Jansen in the final at-bat of a 17-season career.View Full Game Coverage
But the final swing at Jansen's 94-mph cut fastball on a 1-2 count, in the ninth inning of a 2-1 Rockies victory, was him giving the game every bit of heart, energy and optimism one final time.
Helton is 40 and he's ready to walk away, especially because he wanted to be a regular player or nothing at all. Could he have repurposed himself as a pinch-hitter and squeezed out more season, the way former teammate Jason Giambi did in Colorado and will be doing in the postseason in Cleveland? Of course. But spending time with his wife and two daughters -- while also traveling, hunting and ranching -- trumps that, as far as he is concerned.
"It's better to be out there hacking and striking out than sitting on the bench," Helton said. "I'd rather go down swinging, if that's the way I'm going to go down. So it doesn't bother me at all that I struck out in my last at-bat.
"Jansen's a good pitcher. I had one thing on my mind, and that was trying to go deep. But I'm fine with it."
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki hit cleanup, which gave him an on-deck circle view of Helton's final day, a 1-for-4 performance with a walk. His hit was a single off Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu, which set up Tulowitzki's RBI single. Tulowitzki admitted savoring all of Helton's at-bats.
"I tried to enjoy it as much as I could, standing on deck, getting to watch him in his last couple of at-bats, being out there on the field with him," Tulowitzki said. "But I just enjoyed his company this last week or so, especially for this last game. He wanted to get a hit, but at the same time he went down swinging.
"Not too many guys get to go out on their own terms. It's a very low percentage. What a teammate. What a career. What a way to end."
Helton finished his 2013 season with a .249 batting average, 22 doubles, 15 home runs and 61 RBIs in 124 games. He underwent labrum surgery on his right hip last winter and had a knee cleanup procedure as well, and he realized his goals of making it through the season and staying in the Rockies' lineup.
Helton was honored and applauded throughout his final homestand at Coors Field, and he responded by going 13-for-38 (.342) with two home runs -- one in his final home game Wednesday against the Red Sox's Jake Peavy -- and nine RBIs. At Dodger Stadium over the weekend, he was 1-for-11. But the Rockies won two of three from the National League West champions.
"Wednesday night I was probably a little emotionally spent after that night, and then having to get up for three more games because that actually felt like the finale," Helton said. "So this was tough, but at least I was able to sneak out a hit, and we got a couple of wins.
"It happens pretty quick. I mean, you always wish you could slow down and enjoy it a little bit more. But in the long run, it's part of it. You're out there battling, and that makes it go pretty quick. It's been a great run, and I've accomplished more in this game than I ever thought. I've learned more than I ever thought, by just going out and playing the game. It's been a lot of fun."

Glimpsed at Zootini: Andrea Kaplan
Andrea Kaplan, 43, has always loved fashion. In fact, the Lutherville resident has made it her business for years -- first working at Baltimore area fine clothing stores, and now as owner of Love Me Two Times, a vintage designer consignment clothing shop in Ruxton. Kaplan describes her own style as "classic, edgy and chic." She also loves to shop consignment herself, which is how she found the edgy Jil Sander white jacket that she wore "Zootini," a fundraiser for the Maryland Zoo in Ruxton. Going with the party's requested attire of black and white -- in honor of the penguin -- Kaplan paired it with black stretch satin leggings from Classic Serendipity. Her grommet-covered black suede Azzedine Alaïa pumps came from colletteconsignment.com -- the same place she found the jacket. Her vintage white snakeskin Judith Leiber evening bag with a semiprecious stone embellished clasp, quartz crystal and silver 1920s Art Deco earrings, and labradorite, gold and silver ring all came from her shop. Her fashion philsophy? "I feel like fashion is fantasy. It's romance. It's drama. I don't follow trends. I wear something if it makes me feel fabulous, where it's 'in' or 'out.'"

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel's 'peace partners' in the Palestinian Authority (PA) this week continued to work to ensure that there will never be true peace when they informed the Palestinian public that Jews are impure infidels.
In its Sunday broadcast on PA TV the program Sights of Jerusalem reported on the weekend rain in Jerusalem, and in particular on the Temple Mount:
"The golden dome [of the Mosque of Omar] shines with colors of the sky, with the white of clouds, while the joyous holiday [Eid Al-Adha] is good to the residents. The light rain cleanses the steps of the foreigners [Jews] so that the feet [of Muslims] in prayer will not step on impurity."
Footage of religious Jews visiting the Temple Mount (Judaism's holiest site) was shown to make sure viewers understood that the impure foreigners spoken of are in fact Israeli Jews.
Back in August the same program referred to Jews praying at the Western Wall as "sin and filth" contaminating what should be a wholly Islamic city.
This is the common fare fed to a Palestinian public that was supposed to be educated for peaceful coexistence with Israel's Jews. And still Israel is blamed by the international community for being the roadblock to peace.

March 1, 2014, COLLEGE PARK, Md. (ISN) – With the crowd at Bob "Turtle" Smith Stadium standing and clapping in anticipation with two out in the top of the ninth, Maryland senior Jake Stinnett struck out Paul Yanakopulous to became the first Terrapin pitcher throw a no-hitter since 2008 in the Terps' 4-0 win over UMass in game one of a doubleheader Saturday afternoon.
Scott Swinson was the last Maryland pitcher to throw a no-hitter coming at Delaware on May 13, 2008. The last no-hitter to be thrown at home came against Coppin State on March 28, 2007, when five different Maryland pitchers combined on the effort.
Saturday afternoon, Stinnett only faced two batters over the minimum, both of whom walked, while striking out nine. The reigning ACC Pitcher of the Week retired the final 11 batters of the game.
Stinnett kept UMass (0-5) off balance all afternoon, but was the beneficiary of a superb defensive performance particularly from second baseman Brandon Lowe, shortstop Blake Schmit and centerfielder Charlie White.
"There could have been a couple of hits that game, but the defense picked me up so many times," said Stinnett. "They do it every game, but especially that game. Other than that, just throwing strikes and mixing it up. Keeping guys off balance."
The Terps (7-2) jumped on UMass starter Conor LeBlanc in the first inning continuing a season long trend. Mike Rescigno delivered a two-out single to right field to move Lowe to third. Following a wild pitch that moved Rescigno to second, Schmit drove in his sixth and seventh runs of the season with a single to right to put Maryland up 2-0.
The Terps extended their lead to four in the fifth inning. Lowe, who had three singles in the first game, led off the inning with a single through the left side. After a single by LaMonte Wade and Schmit was hit by a pitch, Anthony Papio ripped a single through the right side of the infield to plate two.
That's all the run support Stinnett needed to improve to 2-1 on the season. LeBlanc took the loss for the Minutemen dropping his record to 0-2.
"He had pretty much everything working today," said head coach John Szefc. "It doesn't happen every day that a guy is that sharp. He's able to throw strikes and command the zone almost on command. Whereas last year when he was still developing, I don't think he had that kind of command. It's hard to beat him because he's constantly in the zone."
In game two, the Terps used an eight-run fifth inning to defeat UMass, 10-1. The Terps received another strong performance from freshman Mike Shawaryn, who improved to 3-0. Shawaryn struck out a career-high nine over five innings.
"Mike can really amp it up when he needs to and make a big pitch when he needs to," said Szefc. "He's a very mentally strong guy for a freshman. He's a really seasoned guy. You are probably seeing a future Friday night guy. He's a great compliment to Jake. They complement each other very well. We are pretty fortunate to have those two guys."
Offensively, nine different Terps registered a hit. Lowe, who finished 5-for-8 over the two games and leads the team with eight RBI, had two hits, a double, two RBI and a run scored, while Rescigno went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBI and a run scored.
Entering the fifth, the Terps led 1-0, but exited the inning with a 9-0 advantage. White opened the scoring with a double down the right field line to score Kyle Convissar. Lowe followed with a two-RBI double to left center and later scored on a single from Wade.
Rescigno and Nick Cieri had back-to-back RBI singles to increase Maryland's lead to seven. The Terps added two more behind RBI from Convissar and Andrew Amaro.
UMass got on the board in the seventh, but Maryland got it back in the bottom of the inning on a RBI single to left from Krysthian Leal, the first of his Maryland career.
Ryan Moloney took the loss for UMass falling to 0-2 on the season. The Terps and Minutemen concluded their weekend series on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Bob "Turtle" Smith Stadium.

State, individuals and private sector
The theme of the Latvia Human Development Report 1998 is promoting people-centered development, in other words, development whose purpose and point of reference is human welfare. The report analyzes the connection between economic and social processes, raises issues concerning Latvia's human development priorities and provides concrete policy recommendations. It acknowledges that reforms associated with transition have not only broadened people's opportunities, but also led to such negative results as poverty, unemployment, and the stratification of society, thus retarding human development. The report pays special attention to co-operative mechanisms that could limit these negative results and instill greater dynamism in the process of human development. Therefore, the report examines "the main players" — the individual, the state, and the private sector – and analyzes how to promote their harmonious interaction and joint efforts to achieve the goals of human development. Thus the concept of a partnership between the individual, the state, and the private sector is at the center of the report.

Barcelona: Barcelona have revealed that Tito Vilanova will require surgery following the return of a cancerous tumour.
Reports on Wednesday suggested the 44-year-old had suffered a relapse, after having a dangerous growth removed from his salivary gland in November last year.
And the Catalan club have confirmed that Vilanova will be taking a hiatus from the game while he undergoes chemotherapy and radiation treatment that is scheduled to last around six weeks.
"In the process of monitoring the parotid gland, there has been an extension of his condition that will require surgery," read a club statement.
The coach will undergo the surgery on Thursday and is expected to be hospitalised for three to four days.
Vilanova has made an excellent start to his career as Barca coach after taking them to the top of La Liga and dropping just two points from their first 16 games.

We have a lot of cottontails, which I always refer to as "bunnies." These 2 were waiting for me to come to my studio yesterday. They're normally OK with my presence close by and I just happend to have my camera. Imagine that!
This one below didn't want to use any energy to run, it just flopped down and got comfortable! They're way up there on the "cuteness" scale.
The family seems to be settling in. Kittie is OK with it all, but I do get a little nervous when the tail playing starts.
I have a landscape painting to show you in my next post - stay tuned!
