Roar Ljoekelsoey - the flying Norwegian
Even a feverish cold before the start of the 19th FIS Ski Flying World Championships in Tauplitz/Bad Mitterndorf (AUT) couldn't stop Roar Ljoekelsoey (NOR) on his way to another two Ski Flying gold medals. In the individual competition, the old and new World Champion beat Andreas Widhoelzl and Thomas Morgenstern (AUT). In the team event, Ljoekelsoey played a key role in securing the second gold medal for Norway. Finland also defended its silver medal from Planica (SLO) two years ago, while Germany came in 3rd..
Other highlights of the event included the ,Magic Moments in Sports"-show that besides Muhammad Ali also featured such world-famous sportsmen as Bob Beamon, Mark Spitz, Giacomo Agostini and Niki Lauda. Altogether, some 80 000 spectators attended the competitions, including 4000 accredited participants.
Lots of World Cup action with 28 days to go to Turin
Four weeks before the start of the Olympic Winter Games in Turin, last weekend again saw a full competition schedule with five nations hosting FIS World Cup events. All in all, 17 nations celebrated top three finishes, with Austrian athletes claiming a total of eleven of them, the Swiss nine, and Finland and the USA both ending up with seven podium places.
Beautiful sunny skies and crispy winter weather welcomed Cross-Country skiers and Nordic Combined athletes in Val di Fiemme (ITA). In Cross-Country, several teams had a reason to rejoice as there were nine nations in the top ten in the ladies' mass start skating race, and eight in the men's, with Finland (ladies) and France (men) both placing three athletes in the top ten. In the relay, the Italian men's team raised the home audience's expectations for the Olympics by winning for the first time since November 2002. Finland also got a chance to celebrate in ladies' relay and in Nordic Combined, with Team Finland leaving others without a chance and Hannu Manninen claiming his 6th and 7th season victories.
The traditional men's FIS World Cup Alpine Lauberhorn weekend attracted almost 50 000 spectators to Wengen (SUI). In Friday's super combined, World Cup leader Benny Reich (AUT) won while Peter Fill (ITA) had his first-ever podium finish. On Saturday, the king of the "Birds of Prey" and the "Stelvio", Daron Rahlves (USA), also became of the king of the Lauberhorn, winning his third downhill of the season. At the same time, Finlay Mickel (GBR) celebrated his first top ten World Cup finish on the longest downhill course in the World Cup circuit. On Sunday, Italy's Giorgio Rocca won his fifth slalom in a row to equal the legendary Ingemar Stenmark und Marc Girardelli. If Rocca wins again next weekend in Kitzbhel (AUT), he can make World Cup history and become the first skier to win six times in a row. Behind Rocca, there were nine nations placing athletes in the top ten in Sunday's slalom, promising an exciting battle for the Olympic medals.
On the ladies side in Bad Kleinkirchheim (AUT), Janica Kostelic (CRO) won the first World Cup downhill of her career, and after also winning the super-G on Sunday, became only the fourth lady in World Cup history to win races in all five disciplines. Austria's Michaela Dorfmeister made the podium in all the three races on her home turf whilst newcomer Nike Bent (SWE) celebrated her career-first podium finish in Saturday's downhill.
At the NOKIA Snowboard FIS World Cup in Kronplatz (ITA), the Swiss had grounds to party: the alpine nation conquered half of the twelve available podium places as World Cup points were awarded in snowboardcross and parallel giant slalom. In Saturday's snowboardcross, it was also the last World Cup race for Karine Ruby (FRA) who stepped down after 11 years and 122 podium finishes. In the same race, Alexandra Jekova finished third and claimed the first-ever Snowboard World Cup podium for Bulgaria. In men's parallel giant slalom, the Swiss team repeated their first-four victory from Slden earlier in the season and from Kronplatz last year.
In Freestyle Skiing, the World Cup `rocked on' with aerials and moguls in Deer Valley (USA), and half pipe and ski cross in Les Contamines (FRA). All of the competitions were held under the lights, except for the ski cross. In Deer Valley, the freestyle venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, an enthusiastic crowd of 10,000 people wowed two of their own onto the podium in both moguls and aerials. Meanwhile, in France for the fourth time in a row, the half pipe and Ski Cross opened for the season. In men's half pipe, 16-year-old Kalle Leinonen (FIN) became the youngest male and second youngest overall winner in the history of Freestyle World Cup.
Oberstdorf - one year after the FIS Nordic World Championships
One year after the highly successful FIS Nordic World Ski Championships - with more than 370 000 spectators - the southernmost village of Germany will again host a FIS World Cup Cross-Country on January 21st-22nd. The Allgu region, the town of Oberstdorf and President of the Organizing Committee Thomas Mller are all looking forward to the return of the Viessmann FIS World Cup Cross-Country: "We invested more than 6 Million Euros in the cross-country infrastructure so that we could regularly stage world-class events. It is a pleasure for us to host the World Cup Cross-Country this season and we welcome the first-ever FIS Tour de Ski in January 2007."
22 nations have registered to compete in the pursuit races on Saturday and in the sprint competitions in the classic style on Sunday. In all probability, the acting World Champion in sprint, Vassili Rotchev (RUS), and his team mate Julija Tchepalova, the World Champion in pursuit, will both start in Oberstdorf.
The sporting program also includes the FIS B-World Cup Nordic Combined on Friday and Saturday. As during the FIS World Championships, the official prize ceremonies will take place in the Nordic Park together with a diverse social program as part of the traditional Winterfest taking place in January.
Become the virtual king of the Hahnenkamm
Ever dreamed about winning on Kitzbhel's Hahnenkamm but thought that your technical skills left something to be desired? Now, your time has finally come, provided that you own a computer and an Internet connection: "the Ski Challenge", brought to you by ORF in Austria and SF in Switzerland is a 3-D virtual opportunity to test your choice of the line and the landing of your jump on computer-simulated slopes. Almost a million Austrians and more than 100 000 Swiss have already registered to compete in over 15 million gaming sessions at FIS World Cup Alpine downhill courses in Grden, Bormio, Wengen and this week, in Kitzbhel. The game is available for free from the sponsoring TV station's websites.
Cancelled Maribor Giant Slalom rescheduled for Ofterschwang (GER)
The FIS World Cup Alpine ladies' giant slalom that had to be cancelled on January 7th, 2006, in Maribor (SLO) has been rescheduled for Ofterschwang (GER) on Friday, February 3rd, 2006. The Giant Slalom will take place in addition to the already scheduled giant slalom on Saturday, February 4th, and slalom on Sunday, February 6th.
From Lauberhorn to Kandahar: Men's FIS World Cup Alpine in historical venues
There are few names that evoke as much excitement, and respect, in the world of skiing as do the legendary slopes of Lauberhorn, Hahnenkamm and Kandahar. While the 76th Lauberhorn races took place in Wengen, Switzerland, last weekend, this week it is time for the 66th Hahnenkamm races at Kitzbhel, Austria, and on January 28-29th, the men's World Cup will travel to Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER). What seems to be common to all three is that each can only be conquered with as much courage and condition as technical skill.
The Hahnenkamm races, organized since the first race in 1931 by the Kitzbhel Ski Club, include the "Streif" for downhill and the "Ganslern" for slalom. Starting at the altitude of 1665m, the Streif's steepest passage - 85% steep - is located at the beginning of the infamous Mausefalle and has seen jumps of up to 80m in length.
The Hahnenkamm races are also known for offering the highest total prize money in the entire World Cup circus. This year, a total of _ 520.000,- will be awarded, including _ 65.000,- for the winners in downhill and slalom, with even the 30th-place-athletes netting up to _550.
The Kandahar course in Garmisch also belongs to the longest courses in the FIS World Cup Alpine. Given the total length of 3455m, the winning time there is expected to be over two minutes despite the top speeds at the Trglhang reaching up to 130 km/h. The host of the 1936 Olympic Winter Games, Garmisch-Partenkirchen is also one of the two contenders for the 2011 FIS Alpine World Championships. The decision is between Schladming (AUT), who will host the 10th edition of their men's World Cup Night Slalom on 24th January 2006 and Garmisch-Partenkirchen will be taken by the FIS Council at the FIS Congress in Vilamoura, Portugal, in May 2006.
Toni Sailer on the meaning of the traditional venues and on the Olympic season
FIS Newsflash caught Toni Sailer, Chairman of the FIS Executive Board for Alpine Skiing and famously triple Olympic Champion in Cortina in 1956, in the midst of the preparations for the 66th Hahnenkammrennen this weekend.
FIS Newsflash: Last weekend the Lauberhornrennen, this weekend the Hahnenkamm, and Garmisch in a week's time - in your view, what makes these three races so special even today?
Toni Sailer: These races are unique because of their tradition; several decades of it which does not leave anyone cold no matter how old or young. There are other wonderful races in the World Cup calendar, such as Val d'Isere, Grden and Beaver Creek, but they do not have the same history or the same number of races that have consistently and successfully taken place year after year. Of course, Wengen, Kitzbhel and Garmisch are all selective and require much from the athletes but it is their tradition that really sets them apart.
FIS Newsflash: Would you say that, for an alpine skier, it is more important to win at the Hahnenkamm than to win an Olympic gold medal?
Toni Sailer: No, because winning an Olympic gold medal is the ultimate goal for an athlete. The Olympics are known the world over, Hahnenkamm or Lauberhorn not. However, in the alpine ski sports, victory at all three is what differentiates the really exceptional skiers from the great ones, even if they had won one of the three.
FIS Newsflash: What do you expect from the XX Olympic Winter Games in Turin, just 24 days away now?
Toni Sailer: It has been a spectacular season so far: great races with fantastic atmosphere in both men's and ladies' World Cups. The fact that many races have set new spectator records goes to show how attractive today's ski racing is, in fact that its appeal is increasing, contrary to what some critics argue. From the Olympics, I expect a continuation of an already great season with good conditions, good snow, even if it is man-made, and good overall organization also in terms of the non-sport areas such as accommodation and transportation. There is always a lot of talk before the Games about things that might not go well, but once on site it all turns out fine. I also expect the winner of the Hahnenkamm to be one of the favorites for the Olympic gold medal, provided he does not get injured before Turin!

Guns are machines. Complete with springs and levers and mechanisms. They are a tool. The user on the other end is a human being. Complete with sensation and perception characteristics that involve muscles, nerves and neural function. Laser sights assist that human being in becoming more proficient with the "machine" by relating closely to the way the human body functions – by instinct, through muscle memory.
Laser sights were not designed to replace pistol sights, nor are they a singular substitute for learning proper technique and fundamentals with a firearm. Lasers are a tool. An exceptional tool, but a tool nonetheless. A laser allows the user to essentially project their front sight onto their target. Training with a laser sight not only bolsters the overall skill level of the shooter by enhancing proper fundamentals, but it provides lifesaving characteristics that can be depended on in moments of crisis.
Laser sights drastically increase target visibility by helping the shooter do what is natural in a crisis - keep their eyes on the threat. In self defense scenarios, it is critical to be sure of your target and to place accurate shots. As opposed to the square range, that target is unlikely to be standing still, and there is a high probability of stimulus that makes focusing on pistol sights not only slower, but less accurate.
Training with laser sights, in tandem with pistol sight fundamentals, allow the shooter to become more well-rounded by offering immediate feedback on muzzle placement, sight alignment, sight picture, arc of movement and trigger control. The skilled self-defense shooter has long recognized laser sights as a critical tool in moments of crisis, and works to become proficient with both fixed sights as well as laser sights.
Both novice and advanced shooters alike can see a tremendous training benefit from using laser sights for dry fire practice. Noting all firearm safety rules without fail - "dry firing" is just that – completing the trigger pull sans live ammunition, with the action "dry". Dry firing with laser sights can help shooters identify accurate sight picture and sight alignment by offering a visual indicator to help them self-correct.
Skilled and developing shooters can use dry fire to explore more sophisticated tactics such as targeting from awkward shooting positions, working around corners, or "periscoping" over the top of obstacles. Beginning shooters can use dry fire to help develop that much needed "trigger feel" for accurate shot placement and overall skill with your self-defense firearm.

Brother SAL, Joe Purdy & Brian Wright at Zoey's Cafe — Magical
Written by The Dishmaster, Posted in General
Though I'm always thankful to live in Los Angeles, there are moments when that gratitude is exponentially multiplied. And those moments usually occur when I have the pleasure of seeing a great local music show at a small venue when the quality is worthy of stadium seating. It's the kind of thing one can only experience in this city, and I had the fortunate pleasure of seeing it first hand at Zoey's Cafe where Brother SAL, Joe Purdy, and Brian Wright performed together. Joe Purdy has been on my radar for quite some time, and Brother SAL randomly got my attention at a local Los Angeles venue named Piano Bar, where the guy brought down the house. As for the third performer, Brian Wright, this was the first time I've had the pleasure of seeing him play, but his two buddies circumvented his humility and called him "one of the greatest songwriters [they] know." In short, it was magical.

Byat Thursday, November 29, 2012
These few years, the iPhone and Android have completely captured the smartphone market rupturing some well-set Mobile manufacturers like BlackBerry and Nokia. Nokia has managed to switch to Windows Phone but RIM's BlackBerry is still on the downfall as we wait for RIM's BlackBerry 10 OS. The only area where BlackBerry was ahead of Android and iOS was in enterprise, but IDC reports that this situation will change soon this year.
BlackBerry is already in trouble for its struggling mobile market shares and this news will certainly not be welcome for them as they have always been ahead in the enterprise due to their top-notch security. But apparently, the sheer interest of apps and the luxury of Google's and Apple's iOS are pulling customers away from BlackBerry.
Here is what AppleInsider reports,
"IDC forecasts employee liable Android shipments will hit 87.7 million units, while iPhone shipments are pegged at 37.1 million, reports Computerworld. This is in addition to corporate-furnished sales, which stand at 15.1 million and 31.1 million for Android and iPhone, respectively.Unless RIM really pulls off a miracle with its upcoming BlackBerry 10 OS, there is no way that it can compete with iPhone and Android. Still, we never know what might happen as five years ago, iPhone and Android didn't even exist. In the technology world, you can't just call something impossible. If Steve Jobs can produce a trillion dollar company from a garage in his home, then why can't RIM come back into the smartphone war?
The combined figures far outpace what is expected of RIM's BlackBerry, which is seen as reaching 5.2 million employee liable shipments and 14.8 million from consumers. This lack in interest from the mainstream customer base is hurting RIM's attempts to stay on top of the enterprise heap. In 2011, BlackBerry led in corporate liable smartphone shipments in 2011 with 22.4 million."

A clubhouse attendant packed James Shields' strobe light into a cardboard box. A team official reduced the volume of the speaker system. Into the room strode Shields, the man at the center of an 8-0 Royals romp over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, a victory accrued when the team's best pitcher operated without his sharpest weapons.
"I didn't think my stuff was that good today, to be honest with you," Shields said. "I was erratic. I was all over the place. It was just a grind day."
Shields holds himself to a higher standard than most. In the clubhouse, he facilitates chemistry. Hence, the dimmed lights and throbbing bass in the wake of each victory. On the mound, he sets a more concrete example for his teammates to follow.
His seven scoreless innings on Wednesday created the backbone of a light-hearted afternoon. Shields (4-3, 2.70 ERA) toed the tightrope but never wavered while facing one of baseball's least productive lineups.
His outing was notable for the consistent traffic on the bases. He gave up seven hits, walked two batters and hit another, yet avoided any run-scoring landmines, with the defense operating as a safety net. Eric Hosmer powered the offense with four RBI.
"That was what you call an A.A.G.G," manager Ned Yost said. "All-around good game."
A day ago, the team (16-17) arrived at Petco Park careening through a five-game losing streak. Fan unrest back home fomented. A pair of West Coast wins, even over a lowly opponent like San Diego, should ease the tension somewhat, even after a 12-inning loss on Monday that Hosmer called "heartbreaking."
"To come back and save the series and win the series like that, it says a lot about this team," he said.
The players departed for Seattle, where more robust competition awaits. The Mariners are on a five-day winning streak. A four-game series begins on Thursday night.
For the Royals, the timing feels apt. Baffled on back-to-back nights by the soft-tossing duo of Eric Stults and Robbie Erlin, the lineup harassed top Padres starter Andrew Cashner into submission. He lasted only four innings, ambushed by a trio of runs in a 43-pitch first inning.
"I think we're starting getting to get our stride a little bit," Yost said.
Hosmer clapped a trio of run-scoring hits: A two-run single in the first, another RBI single in the sixth and his last in the eighth.
The Royals needed 11 innings to plate three runs in Tuesday night's victory. They accumulated that total with six at-bats on Wednesday. They owe an assist to Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera, who bungled a pair of softly struck groundballs during the frame.
After Cabrera's first error, Hosmer punched a changeup up the middle for a two-run single. Two batters later, Cabrera fumbled another grounder. The door was open for Danny Valencia, starting in place of Omar Infante at second base, to break his bat on an RBI single to left.
Two of the three runs were unearned. But the Royals forced Cashner to exert himself. Shields starred in the inning's final at-bat, a nine-pitch affair in which he fouled back four fastballs before grounding out.
"I hadn't seen live pitching in a year," Shields said. "It looked like 110 mph going at me. But it was a quality AB, I guess."
Shields returned to action after Detroit pounded him for eight runs on Friday. Wednesday marked his fifth afternoon start of the season. "I'm getting too old for these day games," he said upon his arrival in the clubhouse during the morning.
Shields does not mind the early mornings. He arises at 6 a.m. during the offseason to work out. Sometimes he merely prefers the prospect of a day off during a day game.
Instead, he drove in from his home in nearby Rancho Sante Fe and he went to work. He was far from masterful. But Shields does not pride himself on artistry. He aims to drag his club as deep into a game as possible.
He solved a two-runner jam in the second, defused a fourth-inning leadoff walk with a double play and watched Jarrod Dyson sprawl for a run-saving catch in the fifth. The sixth inning felt like more of the same: Shields grounded pinch-hitter Yasmani Grandal into a double play to extinguish another threat.
"Sometimes, you've got to go out there without your good stuff and compete," Shields said. "That's what I did today."

Cabana City adds life to the waterfront
Cathy Risden, Lifestyle Writer
The premium party, Cabana City Reserve, transformed downtown Kingston's waterfront into a luxury-exclusive experience last Saturday.
The exclusive summer and Christmas party held twice per year is spearheaded by Phillip Palmer, Deane Shepherd, and Che Bowen. Bowen told Today that the event was created strictly for entertainment as a means to help to bring life back to downtown Kingston.
Cabana City Reserve showcased some of the more premium brands in their top-shelf Appleton Estate bars, while serving patrons tantalising hors d'oeuvres courtesy of chefs Jacqui Tyson, alongside Shea Stewart and Elite Kreations, topped with desserts from Sarah Michelle. The venue, located directly behind the Bank of Jamaica, was beautifully decorated with spacious cabanas that were decked in white with Christmas ornaments, creating a romantic beach scenery.
Patrons came out dressed to kill - rompers, jumpsuits, mini dresses and high-waisted pants were the order of the day for the women, while the men turned their fashion dial up a notch in colourful pants and cool blazers.
Those who came by sea docked their yachts nearby, which added to the decor forming part of the luxurious party area which came alive as the sunset kissed the shores. As darkness crept over the land and the clock approached 8 p.m., the early birds were joined by a throng to enjoy some R&B, and '90s reggae. With glasses in hand and bottles of Hennessy gracing the cabanas, it was obvious that the large crowd would want to be nowhere else.
At the end of a successful night, patrons and promotors are looking forward to the next staging in July 2015.

The Pennington Place Apartments were an eyesore for years: abandoned and abused by transients and criminals, a thorn in the side of the Woodhill neighborhood.
In 2012, the property, built in 1970 just east of the New Circle Road interchange at Richmond Road, was sold to The Barrington Group, based in Sarasota, Fla. Before that, the property, which had been known as English Manor and various other names, had been slated to be sold at a foreclosure auction to pay city government for a long list of code violations.
The complex, which sold for $2.1 million, is now in turnaround and leasing again.
It will be a gated community, with key-fob access to buildings. The buildings have been painted inside and out, and balconies, stainless appliances and brushed nickel light fixtures have been added. Each unit has hookups for washers and dryers.
Monthly rents range from $685 to $900.
The balconies "have been a real seller," said Rhonda Collins, the complex's community manager.
Twelve buildings from the complex were torn down. The new complex has 300 apartments in 25 buildings, hence the new name, 300 at the Circle.
It will also have two playgrounds, a pool and a dog park.
Collins said that all electrical systems, plumbing and kitchens were redone. Some of the kitchens had islands installed.
In 2012, when Barrington bought the complex, president and founder Larry Lieberman said that the company had started buying boarded-up properties in the 1990s to convert them.
The company's website, Barringtonusa.com, says that it specializes in multi-family housing, including major renovation, minor renovation and finding new products for markets, such as aging baby boomers who no longer want the hassles of home ownership and upkeep and are looking to rent.
At 300 at the Circle, 57 apartments are already occupied, Collins said. Tenants must be 21 or older; pets are allowed, although there are breed restrictions and weight limits.

Review | Author Bio | Read an Excerpt
Authentic Parenting in a Postmodern Culture by Mary DeMuth has an intriguing title. What is postmodernism and how will understanding it help me be a stronger and better parent? Parenting children in a postmodern world requires great diligence. A missionary would not go to evangelize in a foreign country and expect the people there to understand his language, DeMuth points out, rather he would learn all he could about their native tongue and culture. The worlds culture has changed so much over the last few generations that, though the truth does not change, how parents present the truth must change, or the message will be lost.
This book is not about how to parent in a post-modern style, but how to parent authentically while living in a postmodern culture. The author uses stories and personal experiences to explain the change from modern, a culture based on logic and reason, to postmodern, where the traditions and beliefs of modernity are challenged.
Mary DeMuth is a mom who spent several years with her husband and three children in France pioneering a church. Her experiences in a country where the postmodern worldview is prevalent, and her obvious faith in Jesus and the gospel make her an excellent source of guidance for todays parents. Since I had the opportunity to raise kids in the hyper-postmodern culture of France for a few years, I learned a lot about how to minister to kids there. It's why I wrote the book. says the author.
This book explains how younger generations look at things, how they process life in the new millennium. I found the book full of practical, understandable, and useful information. The chapter on how to share the Bible with our children is advice I know I can use. DeMuth not only defines terms for the reader and points out pitfalls of this cultural shift, but she demonstrates how parents can tap into the strengths of the postmodern culture, such as the thirst for authenticity and transparency, the encouragement of community over individualism, and the denouncement of materialistic lifestyle.
I recommend this book to parents, who want to enjoy healthy communication with their children, and are willing to learn and change to build relationships. I recommend it to youth leaders, childrens ministers, pastors, and teachers. I know that you will be blessed and encouraged by the insight and wisdom DeMuth shares in this book.Reviewed By Elece Hollis, Christian Book Previews.com
Book Jacket:
What is postmodernism? Is it good or bad? Does it have anything to do with being an effective, godly parent? With sensitivity, grace, and a passion to help families experience authentic, lifechanging relationships with God, Mary DeMuth describes the new way people are processing truth. She reveals effective ways for parents to communicate with todays kids: by developing relationships, by learning along with their kids, by creating a safe haven for kids to explore their worlds, and more.

Richmond Christian School is controlled and operated by the Richmond Christian School Association. This Association is made up by parents and guardians of children attending the school who provide input in the decision making process that defines school's policies, direction and future plans through membership.
The association's members elect a board of trustees. The board exists as a corporate body and therefore individual trustees have no power. Board trustees provide vision, direction, determine school policies, hiring of teachers and staff and establish a sound financial plan for operating the school. Some board members will also act as chairs of committees who oversee various aspects of the school's operation. These committees elicit help from staff, parents and guardians who become our "eyes and ears."
Members of the Richmond Christian School Society are eligible to serve on Committees and the Board. We are individuals with various backgrounds and cultures but with the same heart and mind: serving our school community for the glory of our Lord Jesus!
Currently, there are eight trustees who serve at the board level to ensure the vision and mission of Richmond Christian School are expressed. They are:

Students are challenged. RCS exists to educate. We need to explore other forms of education. Great academic marks cannot be the only measurement tool for an RCS education. How will or should education change so that our students are better equipped to serve our God in whatever vocation he calls them too? How will the availability of online education affect our students? What is a well-rounded education? Before we can dictate how to better utilize or expand our facilities we need to better understand this.
Staff are valued. I always tell RCS parents that our best assets go home to sleep at night. It is not our facilities or other monetary assets. How do we value our staff? How do we become an employer of choice? The reality of competing with a government operated public education system in terms of shear monetary remuneration and benefit program is difficult if not impossible. But that doesn't mean we can compete with in terms of other benefits. This year we are auditing our human resource activities and it begins with a long hard look at our current pension program and the exploration of other alternatives.
Christ-centred. Our community represents about 100 different churches and many different denominations. We need to focus on what makes us the same rather than what makes us different. All denominations believe that salvation is free, free because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But calling Jesus our Lord requires work, submission to the doing of His work that He has planned for us. How do we further develop our Bible program into one that not only engages the mind, but the heart as well? One that transforms our students and our community into one of action rather than just knowledge? Being Christian is the key factor to what makes us different from public schools and many independent schools. Our mandate is to weave our faith into all aspects of our school.
Space. The final frontier? Or the lack of it in our existing facilities. As God continues to bless us with students and a waitlist we need to continue to consider the undertaking of another capital project. It could be as obvious as the building of phase two in our secondary campus or it can be a one-campus facility. Last year we ran into a problem in our one campus feasibility study. We were unable to obtain a dollar figure for the location that made the most sense for us, the old Steveston Secondary building. School District #38 (Richmond School Board) views us as strictly competition and made it known that they would not want to see the property purchased by us. Further to that, our initial discussion with the City of Richmond to further utilize our ALR land on No. 5 Road was met with a lot of "No's." As the fire to see our vision of being a one campus school was being extinguished, this year God has provided a rekindling. Linda Reid a Richmond MLA, presented an award last year at our convocation and Mr. Grose asked her to visit our school. We were able to spend some time her with her and she gave us some ideas and promised her support to help us in our expansion endeavors. We will definitely be consulting with her more this year.
The Board and its committees have a lot of work to do this year, and we would appreciate your continued support. Whether in time, finance, and prayer or in anything else, we value your contribution to our community. We now that ordinary people can accomplish the extra-ordinary through the power of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer.

1980 Lada 2103 1300DL 1.3
The cheapest and most reliable transportation possible
Starting motor got stuck at 50000 kilometers. Possibly because this car was used for only 47000 kilometers the first 21 years. I replaced the clutch just after purchasing the car. This happened at a low mileage. The previous owner was an old man. Old men seem to wear clutches badly. I never replaced the clutch of my last Lada 2103 during the six years I owned it.
General Comments:
Using a 23 year old car as a daily driver might not seem to be a good idea. My car is just as reliable as any brand new car.
The comfort tells a lot about the roots of this car: Mid 1960's.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 4th April, 2003
4th Oct 2003, 00:10
Good Car, I love this car, I have had a lada for a long time.
15th Jan 2006, 06:45
Are you high? This is possibly the worst car I've ever driven, looked at or heard of.
16th Jan 2006, 01:14
I doubt very much you`ve ever driven one. Since you don`t give any reason (s) to back up your snide remark about the Lada, I don`t accept your comment as having any substance, whatsoever. Comments like yours, are simply stupid.
29th Mar 2010, 18:26
My Dad has owned Lada Rivas for 30 yrs. He used to get jibes for driving a Russian car in the UK, as did I as a kid. But I firmly agree that this car is highly reliable, a solid workhorse and is east to maintain. It is also far more comfortable to ride in than many new cars on the road today, due to its heavy duty suspension and thick-gauge steel construction. The car is an old 1960's design, but so what? I think it is great!

The world's first and the only in Russia Museum of circus art of such scale invites you to use our extensive library, photograph, video and programme collection, etc. You are welcome!
If during the years of your studies you find it necessary to use the materials from the funds of the Museum of circus art, you will need an official letter from your department of the following model. You can arrange the day and time of your visit by the telephone +7(812) 570-54-13.
Those who wish to order an excursion to the exhibition hall, as well as to buy books on circus art can contact us by the telephone +7(812) 570-54-13 or by E-mail. Excursions are held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. The groups are formed of 15 persons at the most. Foreign groups should include their interpreter.
The Museum of circus art is located in the building of the circus at the address: 3 Naberezhnaya Reki Fontanka. The map is available in the section "Contacts".
The world's first Museum of circus art was opened in 1928 at the Leningrad (nowadays Saint-Petersburg) circus. Its initiator and first director was the master of art movement at the Theatre college and one of the founders of the Theatre museum in Leningrad Vasily Andreev. The materials on circus and variety art from personal collections of V. Andreev and the circus figure, producer and critic E. Gershuni started the Myseum funds.
The aim of creating the Museum of circus art was to collect the materials for systematization, studying and analysis of the circus history. By 1930 the circus materials substantially enriched the first fundamental investugation of the circus history – the book "Circus.(Origin. Development. Prospects.)" published in 1931. Its author is the prominent Soviet historian and theorist of the circus art Evgeny Kuznetsov.
The Museum funds were created and are being created thanks to circus performers who hand over photographs, posters, programmes, costumes and other circus materials for free use in the Museum. At present the Museum collection amounts to more than 90 000 items. It is composed of several collections containing Russian and foreign materials: the library, phograph and video collection; departments of posters, circus programmes, manuscripts, clippings, plastic arts, costumes and and circus properties.
Today the main part of the Museum funds is located in two adjoining rooms furnished with bookcases for keeping paper materials and with showcases. The present interior of the rooms was designed in 1989 by the artist Mark Gorelik.
These are the rooms for museum employees, specialists dealing with circus art, performers interested in the materials on their genre. The principle of material cataloging makes it possible to meet promptly the demands of visiters. Many books on the history and theory of circus art, as well as diplomas and dissertations have been written based on the Museum funds.
Beginning in the first year of its existence the Museum organized exhibitions at the first floor lobby for auduences of the Saint-Petersburg circus. In 1928 the exhibition "Predators in Circus" was opened followed by the exhibition "Training of Animals". The follow-up exhibitions also told about particular circus genres: juggling, clownery, equestrian circus. In 1975 the management of the Leningrad circus allocated the second floor rooms (about 180 square meters) for organising periodical exhibitions.
In recent years the visitors of the exhibition hall could see the following expositions: "Artist and circus", "For the centenary of Karandash", "The circus depicting time and itself" (to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Saint-Petersburg circus), "Circus actors in the years of the Great Patriotic War", "Children and circus". In the same hall special excursions are also organised covering not only the themes of exhibitions, but also including interactive studies for visitors. By the 130th anniversary of the Saint-Petersburg circus the exhibition "Circus of many faces" was opened in the reequipped exhibition hall.
The museum organises not only its own exhibitons, but also lends its materials for exhibitions in Russia and abroad: Germany in 1972, Czekhoslovakia in 1976, Belgium in 1996, Finland in 2002, 2004-2006.

IN THE INCREASINGLY crowded world of microbrews, Delaware's Dogfish Head Brewery has made its mark by embracing the unconventional, eschewing crowd-pleasing lagers to produce some of the most esoteric beers around.
Devoted fans rush out to buy legendary small-batch runs such as Pangea, which uses an ingredient from every continent. (Antarctica provides the water.) The sweet Midas Touch Golden Elixir owes its honey-tinged flavor to archaeologists from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology who discovered traces of 2,700-year-old fermented beverages in drinking vessels while excavating a tomb in Gordion, Turkey, they believe held the body of King Midas. A few years ago, molecular archaeologists analyzed those remnants and turned to Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione for help re-creating the ancient brew. The strange beer-wine-mead hybrid, which involves both barley and muscat grapes, is now a regular part of Dogfish's line.
Sure, Dogfish can make some stunning "straight" beers, such as the hop-laden, slightly bitter 60 Minute IPA, but it's more fun when Calagione tweaks the formula, throwing apricots into an India Pale Ale to create ApriHop or flavoring a brown Belgian-style ale with green raisins and dubbing the curious result Raison D'Etre.
Sometimes Dogfish Head's offerings veer pretty far into gimmickry -- Liquor de Malt, a fortified beer made with red, white and blue varieties of corn, is sold in 40-ounce bottles that come with a custom Dogfish Head paper bag -- but Dogfish products are always interesting, especially with Calagione's penchant for tongue-puckering hops and high alcohol content.
In recent years, Dogfish Head has evolved from a brand fetishized in beer-centric bars into a gourmet label found in trendy restaurants such as Matchbox and David Greggory. But Dogfish Head isn't content to just make guest appearances; the Rehoboth Beach brewpub turned 10 this summer, and the company has set its sights fully on the Washington market, opening a restaurant and bar in Gaithersburg in late September.
The Dogfish Head Alehouse (800 W. Diamond Ave., Gaithersburg; 301-963-4847) isn't a brewpub -- it'll leave production to the folks on the other side of the bay -- but it's the next best thing: a place that focuses on Dogfish Head products and serves them the way they were meant to be served.
I've had pints of the 90 Minute India Pale Ale at bars in Washington, and it has become one of my favorite draft beers, if a little hard to find. At the Alehouse, though, the 90 Minute arrives in a snifter, and it's an entirely different experience. As I begin to take a sip, I feel as though my allergies are going to explode: I smell summery hop fields and wet, freshly cut grass in the head. Hints of citrus mingle with a light, spicy bitterness in my mouth, but this beer is so smooth and so drinkable that, unless you look at the brewer's notes on a chalkboard behind the bar, you'd never guess that it packs a wallop. This beer weighs in at 9 percent alcohol. As much as I'd love to have another, I'm driving.
There are usually seven or eight beers on draft and a few featured bottles at the Gaithersburg watering hole, a two-story restaurant that sits near the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Die-hard beer geeks may want to call first to see what's on before heading up, as the specialty beers come and go with alarming frequency. When I stopped by with a couple of friends last week, there was no Raison D'Etre (let alone the high-test version dubbed Raison D'Extra), no English-style Burton Baton, no fortified Immort Ale. I'd been looking forward to another glass of the Midas Touch, which I'd first sampled at the 9:30 club, but it was available only in bottles. Even the autumnal Punkin' Ale, which I'd thought about sampling on a previous visit, was gone.
The problem, says Joe Hospital, managing partner of Dogfish Head Alehouse, is the Dogfish brewery's limited production runs. "Some of these beers are seasonal or limited editions," he explains. "We had the Punkin' Ale, but that ran out, so we got the 120 Minute IPA. [That's the bigger, badder, hoppier brother of the 90 Minute.] We blew through that. We took everything [Dogfish Head] had and blew through it in three weeks.
"We'll get down to seven, then we'll get back to nine. It's our plan for there to be eight to 10 [beers] on [draft]."
High-volume sales, Hospital says, are why that 90 Minute sparkles like it just came out of the taps in Rehoboth. One beer that's on pouring now but might not be for long is the WorldWide Stout, which checks in at a mind-blowing 18 percent alcohol. The tasting notes in the menu suggest this might be best enjoyed as an after-dinner beer, but we tried it as an appetizer. It, too, arrives in a snifter and has a rich, sophisticated blend of flavors that leaves us pontificating like wine critics, pondering the caramel, coffee and chocolate notes under the rich, toasty malt. (I can understand if you don't look forward to the idea of "chocolate notes" in your stout, but trust me on this one.)
Behind the bar, under lock and key, is the vintage beer cooler, with bottles that age like fine wine. "Sam's been cellaring these beers for years," Hospital says. "It's an idea that's out of the mainstream, with all the emphasis on fresh beers." Thanks to high alcohol content, selected Dogfishes will actually improve with age, mellowing and smoothing. Of course, like a collector with a '51 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, you'll pay for the privilege of tasting one of these beauties: about $8 for one 12-ounce beer that has been around for a year or two, and as much as $18 or more for 750-milliliter bottles of vintage Pangea or three-year-old WorldWide Stout. (After laying around, that monster climbs up to 23 percent alcohol.) We decided we had to try a cellared beer, and settled on a two-year-old bottle of Immort Ale. We'd hoped to compare it with the current vintage, but the Alehouse didn't have any on hand, and you can't get beer to go, so we decided to forgo the research and just enjoyed the bottle, which seemed richer and more rounded than "fresh" Immort, possibly because of the maple syrup used in brewing.
Of course, not everyone is into specialist beers. Grab a sampler, which includes tastes of the Shelter Pale Ale and the rather bland Lawnmower Light and see if there's anything you like. Those who are still not convinced can grab a bottle of Miller Lite or Corona, while fans of the harder stuff can order cocktails made with Dogfish Jin or Rum, which the company began distilling three years ago. The Alehouse doesn't yet have a list of infused Dogfish Blue Hen vodkas like you'd find at the original brewpub in Rehoboth, but the bartender told me they're working on it.
Hospital and his three partners tried to get into Silver Spring before taking over the current space but couldn't work out a deal. It's Silver Spring's loss and northern Montgomery County's gain. "It's so nice to go to a bar in Gaithersburg that's not a chain," one friend says, settling down with a pint of Indian Brown Ale. The decor is understated -- wood, old prints and framed black-and-white photographs, Dogfish Head logos -- but there's a generous amount of room around the bar, which comes in handy on Thursday or Friday evenings. (Weekday crowds are easily explained by $3 happy hour pints, down from the usual $4.75.) Smokers congregate on a patio with wooden-slat beach chairs. Upstairs is really for dining, with numerous booths and a small private dining room. Huge couches that wrap around corners could double as their own private party spaces, easily holding six.
It would be irresponsible to talk about high-octane beers and not mention the food, which is pretty good. As in Rehoboth, the stars of the show are wood-fired personal pizzas, which take their names from Ernest Hemingway short stories, including "A Canary for One" and "The Sea Change." Don't overlook the daily specials, which can include a very good overstuffed Reuben or a New York strip steak sandwich.
The Dogfish Head in Rehoboth is noted for its live music, bringing in the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Vic Chesnutt and Last Train Home, and Hospital says that this branch will add more entertainment in coming weeks. "We've got a couple of groups that play at Dogfish Head in Rehoboth coming in," he says. "We'll have some music in December. By the beginning of the year, we'll be into a pretty regular schedule."
More beer-centric events are also on the agenda. A beer and cheese tasting with Calagione sold out almost immediately, and a bartender tells me that the alehouse may be bringing in the Randall, one of Calagione's more interesting inventions. It's nothing more than a tube filled with fresh hop leaves placed between the tap and your glass. As the beer runs through, it picks up oil from the leaves, creating a hop overload on your palette. This is, after all, a brewery that doesn't mind going to extremes.

Now that I face,
The world with pain and sighs;
Strange but I,
Can understand the reasons why;
Forever is,
A word I can not describe;
The time has come,
To say goodnight..;
It makes no difference,
From now on;
Because why,
The time has come to say goodnight;
And how could I,
Be so sure we'd be so wrong;
And How could I,
Have a will weak with a mind so strong?
And only I
Can tell the difference, right or wrong;
It makes no differnce from now on,
The time has come to say goodnight
It makes no differnce
From now on..
I guess it's best we say goodnight.

As lonely dark winter nights loom menacingly ahead, Anna Burzlaff tests out the waters of online dating
It can be tough finding love in a big city. Lonely nights, dinners in front of the TV, the slow descent into insanity as you begin talking to your cat; these, among many others, are reasons why someone may join an online dating site. While my relationship with my cat is safely within the confines of psychological norms, my curiosity around the phenomenon was enough to compel me to see what the whole thing was about.
I opted, under a friend's guidance, for the site OkCupid, where my first task was to think of a screen name. "AnnaB" was sadly already taken, but thankfully OkCupid was on hand to provide me with a list of alternatives, the first of which was "Anna_cat". This was brilliant. I could already tell that this was my kind of site. My screen name would set the whole tone of the profile.
For all you budding online daters, it's essential that you realise the importance of your profile picture as it's going to be the big selling point of your page. I knew to make the most of my site I'd need something good. While a photo showing a lot of skin, accompanied by an exaggerated pout seemed the most desirable choice, epiphany suddenly stuck me as I remembered the hideously drunken photo taken of me, while I crawled along Lesson Street in the middle of the night.
At this stage I could really feel my profile taking shape: first "Anna_cat" as my screen name and now the drunken photo. Within minutes of posting the picture I received messages from the most charming and literate OkCupid had to offer. "Lol interesting pic" and "My kinda woman" were among the swooning words of flirtation which greeted me. I was left in no doubt that things were getting off to a good start.
My next step was to fill out the "About" section. While I was doubtful as to the extent to which people actually read this, I thought it best to be thorough and display all I had to offer. My goals were to make as many explicit sexual references as possible, appear thoroughly idiotic through countless syntax errors, and just come across as an all-round awful person. Also there had to be some sort of reference to cats.
My profile, in the end, looked like this:
My self-summary
Hey chaps!!!! I'm Anna. I love to have a good time and partying down with the lads, could it be you ;) Let's get to know each other…sexually.
What I'm doing with my life
I'm studying for my doctorate in the field of…lol…joke, just having a good time. In all seriousness though, just bants with the lads on Friday nights, ya know.
The six things I could never do without
My cat's fluffy and flim flam, and the ashes of my last cat flooper who has a nice place on my mantelpiece ;) lol, bants 2012
Nights out with the girlz obvs!!!! (I always bring the nose powder ;)
Definitely not chocolate…ewwww (I actually love chocolate)
And the collected works of Joyce Joyce (lol no books are for ugly people
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I just got out of prison cause they put me there cause I partied too hard, lol!! No but genuinely my court date is in November and alls looking good.
I doubted whether people would take me in any way seriously after what I'd posted. I was quickly proved wrong, however, as I found my number of notifications rocketing. Awfullypale sent me a message saying:
Hey there!
Whats happening? :)
Great profile and one hot lady ;)
Best of luck in court :D
Perhaps it was his deficiency of melanin that made him willing to enter into a conversation with someone who referred to James Joyce as "Joyce Joyce", who knows. It was clear by his use of smiley faces and lack of basic grammar knowledge that I had met my match. My reply would have to be equally well thought out. After what seemed like endless deliberation I decided upon: "Heyyyyyy, thanks bbz!! ;) lol."
Awfullypale and I then embarked on a conversation filled with a series of sexual innuendoes, a shocking abuse of exclamation marks, and a variety of emoticons.
Yet, after a few days, the winky faces began to take their toll. I felt my inner degradation growing. It was all getting too much, and the idea of actually meeting Awfullypale was sending a shiver down my spine.
It was at this point that I realised online dating wasn't for me. Even the kind words of Cute Guy 210 ("haha you're so funny, quite rare :) i bet your cats taught you that!") couldn't quiet my sense of unease. Perhaps my approach had been all wrong, I should have attempted this with a little more subtlety to combat the growing number of perverts scouring my profile. When I received a notification from the site telling me that 56% of users have conversations with their pets, it all got too weird and I knew it was time to go.
My stint as an online dater started gloriously. The name "Anna_cat" and my profile picture had brought me a showering of attention, however, the enjoyment soon faded and all I was left with was an overwhelming feeling of dirtiness. I hoped Awfullypale and his winky faced innuendoes would soon become a distant memory. If offered the choice between talking to my cat and talking to him, my decision lay clearly with the former.

When the 2011 Emmy nominations were announced in July, broadcast networks could be heartened by one fact: their fare swept the slots for top comedy series.
On the other hand, broadcasters were no doubt deflated by another fact: They were embarrassed in the drama series category, scoring essentially 1 1/2 nominations: CBS' "The Good Wife" and "Friday Night Lights," which airs on NBC after an initial offering on DirecTV.
If broadcast is so adept at producing Emmy-worthy comedies, why is it so incapable of producing dramas of similar quality, particularly given how many are made?
"Cable doesn't even do that much comedy," points out NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt, whose previous job was running premium cabler Showtime, which produces a number of edgy comedies.
"Cable has a little bit of a hold on those dazzling concepts in drama," Greenblatt adds. "They're usually seductive to the industry. They're sexy concepts, and they have flawed and damaged characters that are played by lots of interesting actors. They're like the shinier object at this moment. We have to work hard to develop dramas that feel exciting. I wish I could define what that really meant, but hopefully we'll figure that out."
Robert King, co-creator of "The Good Wife," likens the TV landscape to a shopping mall.
"The broadcast networks are the anchor stores … appealing to a lot of tastes," he says. "They're up against the boutique stores that narrowcast to specific tastes. Do you want to buy at an anchor store or a boutique store? The anchor store makes more money, but the boutique store has snob appeal. They're talking right to you. Both are needed. And, for some reason, comedy does better in the anchor department store."
King's wife and collaborator on "The Good Wife," Michelle, extends the metaphor: "We've been given our own department store but have been allowed to run it as we would have it. We've been lucky in this regard."
Still, a couple of NBC's comedy nominees — multiple-Emmy winner "30 Rock" and first-timer "Parks and Recreation" — feel more boutique in their appeal, as they lure fewer viewers than, say, HBO genre drama nominee "Game of Thrones."
Ellen Gray, TV critic for the Philadelphia Daily News, explains the seeming anomaly: "They're on NBC, who's essentially operating in a cable universe at the moment. If NBC has a good season, you won't see them satisfied with those ratings ever again."
Adds St. Petersburg Times TV critic Eric Deggans: "Emmy also doesn't like formula, which is also the only thing that works on (broadcast) networks. You have all these procedurals, which will never work with Emmy, because they're too predictable. So factor all of that out, and what you're left with is 'The Good Wife,' which is a really smart combination of genres — it's a female-centered drama but it reinvents the legal drama in a way that's sophisticated, that people dig it.
"But it is an anomaly. The network structure doesn't lend itself to successful dramas — a show that lends itself to Emmys is too distinctive enough to draw broad audiences, and the networks can't put it on."
Still, Deggans believes broadcast networks will find a way to rebound in the drama game.
"They care about Emmys because they care about rejecting the idea that they're ceding quality to cable," he says. "Bob Greenblatt going to NBC is a perfect example — they wouldn't have hired him if they didn't care about the perception that quality is on cable and schlock is on the networks. They're loathe to give that up, and they shouldn't."

Staff Picks: Big Bob Little Bob
Need a suggestion for something to read or watch from the library this weekend? Maybe you'd like to check out an ebook or audiobook? Try some of our Staff Picks, to find what some of the other people in our parish are enjoying.
We know that not every staff pick will appeal to every patron, but not to worry! If you need help selecting something, we have online tools like Book Browse and our Online Catalog, or you can ask one of our friendly staff members to help search for you.
Big Bob, Little Bob by James Howe and illustrated by Laura Ellen Anderson
This is a charming and endearing book for kids. There are two boys. First you meet Little Bob. He likes to play quiet games. He likes dolls and to play dress up. Then Big Bob moves in and he likes to play loud games and to tumble with his dog and get dirty. Big Bob soon learns Little Bob does not like to play the same things. So they do things together like Big Bob playing fire engine alongside Little Bob pushing a doll carriage (with his cat inside).
One day when the two Bobs are playing separately yet together a new girl moves in. She sees Little Bob playing dolls and she tells him boys can never play with dolls and Little Bob feels bad. But quickly Big Bob shouts at the new girl and tells her to leave his friend alone and that boys can play with whatever they want. The girl says she likes to play with trucks more than dolls and Big Bob says that is okay.
I think it's sweet how Big Bob is surprised at what Little Bob likes to play but he learns that it is just what Little Bob likes. The two friends accept each others different play styles and yet retain their own likes and dislikes. And when Big Bob stands up for his little friend it was so touching it brought tears to my eyes. I think this would be great for any child to read or have a parent read to them. It would teach them that we are not all made the same but that is okay.
If Big Bob, Little Bob interests you, feel free to request or check it out. We'll be back next Thursday with a different Staff Pick.

Christmas in Korea
1: Sucks to be single on Christmas. Christmas is a family-oriented holiday in the U.S, But in Korea, Christmas is a time for couples to go out and enjoy themselves. Not unlike its image in Kdramas, Christmastime in Korea has a very romantic air about it. In fact, the spirit of Christmas in Korea is a lot like Valentine's Day except with tinsel and holly instead of red hearts and chocolate.
Bottom line: the streets will be swarming with couples during Christmas -- single folks be warned.2. It's more like New Year's Eve. Young people go out to party during Christmastime and spend New Years with their family, which is the reverse of how these respective holidays are celebrated in the West. GD and TOP apparently went club-hopping in Hongdae during Christmas. So now you know the Christmas norm in Korea: You go out. You don't stay in. 3. Shop till you drop.

Gifts of securities or mutual funds
When you donate cash or appreciated securities, it provides an immediate benefit to K-State and the maximum income tax deduction to you.
Gifts of appreciated stock or mutual fund shares that have been held for at least one year qualify for an income tax deduction equal to the current market value of the transferred assets. By transferring these assets directly to the KSU Foundation, you also avoid capital gains tax. For most people, this double tax savings makes a gift of appreciated securities a very cost-effective gift option.

Tell-All Interview Special Features Intimate Dinner Party Hosted by Seacrest with the Entire Kardashian Family Where No Topic is Off Limits
It has been six short years since the Kardashians, a blended, outspoken family from the suburbs of Los Angeles, invited cameras into their home and after one season, became a reality sensation. Now, for the first time ever, executive producer and close friend Ryan Seacrest, sits down with the stars Ryan helped to introduce to the world for an all-new, no-holds-barred special to revisit some of the series' most controversial and talked about moments, and get the real story on their lives now. Filled with candid conversations, surprising revelations and hilarious family moments, the one-hour special "Ryan Seacrest With The Kardashians: An E! News Presentation" premieres Sunday, April 21 at 9:00pm ET/PT only on E!
At a private dinner hosted by Seacrest, Kris, Bruce, Kim, Kourtney & Scott, Khloé, Rob, Kendall, and Kylie set the record straight on what they really think of one another, their most awkward and wildest moments, and much, much more. Additionally, Seacrest sits down for a series of intimate one-on-one conversations that delve deeper, beyond the tabloid headlines, to talk about the laughter, tears, heartbreak and success that viewers have witnessed on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." The family opens up about the values that hold them together, marriages, pregnancies, relationships, sibling battles, managing the international media scrutiny and the show's impact on today's pop culture.
Leaving no stone left unturned, topics include:
• Kim speaks frankly about her pregnancy fears, finding true love and happiness, and what boyfriend Kanye West really thinks of the show.
• Khloé shares her own thoughts on Kim's pregnancy and how it has affected her desire to be a mother, while talking about husband Lamar Odom's NBA career and his strong opinions on the family and the show.
• The usually very private Kourtney discusses her feelings on marrying Scott and how their relationship has evolved over the years.
• A very honest and emotional Rob addresses his recent and much publicized weight gain and how difficult that has been for him, while the youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner family, Kendall and Kylie discuss their budding modeling careers, dating, their famous friends and how the show affected their childhood.
• Kris and husband Bruce open up about their parenting beliefs as well as what it is like to witness their children going through major life changes on camera, and how they deal with the constant media attention and scrutiny.
Having been a part of every step of this six year journey as a close friend and executive producer, Seacrest has a relationship and level of candor with the Kardashians that allows him to capture an even more intimate look at this dynamic family in this one-hour special.
