Lea Michele Is Brave For Not Leaving 'Glee' After Cory Monteith's Death
Lea, continuing your brilliant work as Rachel Berry on 'Glee' must seem like the hardest thing to do after losing the love of your life, Cory Monteith, but insiders tell HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY you've decided you want to stick with the role. We think that's an unbelievably courageous decision.
Lea Michele, it must be so hard to imagine that in just a few weeks, you'll have to be back on set prepping for scenes as the indomitable and ultra-talented Rachel Berry, who has been in love with the quarterback-turned-glee-coach, Finn Hudson — played by your tragically deceased boyfriend Cory Monteith — for Glee's entire series.
Lea Michele: Coming Back To 'Glee' Without Cory Monteith
Finn and Rachel spent most of last season estranged, but their love for each other never really died, and at the end of the season, Finn told Rachel that she was his "endgame," no matter how long it took.
When you ended that fourth season, there's no way you thought you'd lose Cory, the man you believed you'd spend the rest of your life with.
Even though Cory struggled with substance abuse, you never stopped supporting him. You were the one who insisted he go back into rehab when you discovered he had gone back to his destructive behavior. You went to Glee creator, Ryan Murphy and he helped you stage an intervention, according to Us Weekly.
You later thought he was recovering, and doing well when he went to Vancouver with friends and you felt comfortable going on on a girls-only vacation to Cabo San Lucas with your friend and jewelry designer, Jennifer Cohen.
But now we know that no matter how devoted you were to being Cory's guardian angel, he fell in with the wrong crowd and tragically overdosed on a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol.
Lea Michele: Use The Cast Of 'Glee' As A Support System
Lea, we know you've been inconsolable and unable to eat since Cory's death, but you've also bonded with his brother and mother and made the difficult decisions to have Cory's body cremated and to visit the Fairmount Pacific Rim, the hotel where he died, to see the memorial created by fans.
The one thing you have now is not only the love of your family and friends and Cory's family, but the support of the entire extended cast and crew of Glee. The outpouring of emotion and support the cast has shown since Cory's death has been enormous.
They have all spoken out about what a humble, kind, and great human being Cory was. "I HAVE NO WORDS! MY HEART IS BROKEN CORY WAS NOT ONLY A HELL OF A FRIEND HE WAS ONE AMAZING MAN THAT I WILL HOLD CLOSE TO MY HEART FOREVER," Dot Marie Jones, who plays Coach Shannon Beiste, tweeted. And Lauren Potter, who plays Sue Sylvester's partner-in-crime Becky, added, "I am totally heartbroken right now. I love Cory so much this hurts my heart. Cory was always so nice to me. I have so many good memories."
None of the cast suspected that Cory was still struggling with addiction. Jane Lynch in particular was completely stunned. She broke down on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on July 17, saying, "Cory's one of the biggest hearts, was a real bright light. He was one of those guys that…you know, he knew he was breathing rarified air…the gifts that this wonderful show gave us."
Lea Michele: Leaving 'Glee' Could Be Even Harder Than Continuing On
After Cory's tragic death you have to know that you can count on the support of your fellow cast-mates. Going back to the show could actually be the best decision for you emotionally — you couldn't hope for a more understanding place to be.
Everyone will be there to talk about Cory, to fondly remember him, share the good times, to hold your hand and give you hugs, and to be shoulders to cry on.
We understand that everything you do — everywhere you will look — on set will bring back difficult memories. But if you didn't go back, that could be even harder and even lonelier than being with a group of people who loved Cory almost as much as you did.
The cast of Glee will keep you busy and will be with you every day. That is the hardest thing to do when you lose a loved one — just get through each day.
Lea, being alone and having free time could actually be the worst thing for you. You would have too much time to miss him; too much time to reflect on what could have been, every second of your days and nights.
Lea Michele: Cory Monteith Would Have Wanted The Best For You
The people who care about you and who loved Cory will help you through this difficult time.
Sometimes it's best to just carry on, and you will carry on in this case, with the help of your Glee cast-mates. We can that it's what Cory would have wanted.
We give you our greatest admiration in taking the steps back to the set and we wish you the best as you grieve the death of the love of your life, Cory Monteith.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Is Lea making the right decision by going back to Glee?

Almost three quarters (73%) of smartphone owners use a social networking app on a daily basis and a further 19% at least weekly, according to a survey by Lightspeed Research.
In contrast, tablet owners tend to use business apps (63%) or finance/banking apps (56%) daily rather than social networking apps (32%).
This highlights the fact that marketers should not have a one-size fits all approach to mobile devices.
Despite the fact that tablets are becoming more common, research from Somo shows that only 10% of the top 100 online brands have tablet optimised websites.
In our recent article, tablets: the opportunity for marketers, we gave an in-depth overview of how brands can make the most of the advertising opportunities available on tablets.
It includes information on branded apps, display advertising and in-app ads.
Lightspeed's survey also looked at the propensity for smartphone and tablet users to pay for apps.
While 48% of smartphone owners said they have a mixture of paid-for and free apps, when this is split by device iPhone users are significantly more likely to have a mixture of paid-for and free apps than Android users (71% v 35%).
Looking at pricing, more than two thirds (69%) of smartphone or tablet owners who use paid-for apps have paid not more than £3 for an app.
However one in ten smartphone or tablet users has paid more than £5 for an app, indicating that there is some level of demand for premium priced apps.
The research also found that tablet owners spend more on apps than smartphone owners - 19% had spent more than £30 on them in the past six months.
Comments (2)
I would have expected much more than 73% daily and well over 19% weekly. That's statistics for you.
This statistic is not surprising and serves to highlight the overwhelming popularity of mobile social networking and its appeal to smartphone owners.

Caldwell County sheriff's investigators arrested a 25-year-old Hudson man on methamphetamine charges and seized $370,800 worth of the drug from his home on Lick Mountain Drive, Sheriff Alan Jones said Friday.
Stephen Roger Dean was charged Thursday with felony trafficking in methamphetamine and maintaining a dwelling to keep/store controlled substances. Dean was jailed under a $1 million bond and has a first appearance in Caldwell County District Court on Monday.
If convicted, Dean faces a minimum of 21 to 23 years in prison, Jones said.
"This was a significant bust for Caldwell County, and the arrest of this kingpin will definitely have an impact on the meth trade," Jones said in a news release. "One minute he was living the dream, now he is in our jail and looking at serious prison time. He has basically thrown his life away."
The sheriff said investigators also seized digital weighing scales, packaging materials, drug ledgers and assorted drug paraphernalia from Dean's home.
A Cadillac Deville, Honda CBR motorcycle, two dirt bikes, a scooter, flat screen TVs, furniture, computers, video games and many other personal articles were seized for drug tax purposes by the N.C. Department of Revenue, the sheriff said.

Director of Communications
PRESS RELEASE: Board of Governors chairman recommends chief academic officer as interim chancellor
TALLAHASSEE—Board of Governors Chairman Dean Colson, of Miami, today announced he will recommend Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer Jan Ignash as interim chancellor beginning Oct. 1. The board will consider Colson's recommendation at its meeting Sept. 12.
"We are fortunate to have a seasoned academic leader on our team to fill in as interim chancellor while we conduct a national search. As chief academic officer, Dr. Ignash is already involved in the board's most important initiatives, such as its Access and Attainment Commission, the development of a performance-funding model and the expansion of online learning," said Colson. "She will help keep the train squarely on the tracks as we move forward on these and other critical system issues."
"The university system is experiencing a remarkable level of stability and success as we advance on a number of fronts," said Vice Chairman Mori Hosseini, of Daytona Beach. "We want to thank Dr. Ignash for her willingness to expand her responsibilities during this critical time of transition so that we can continue our upward momentum."
If approved by the full Board of Governors at its Sept. 12 meeting, Ignash will assume her temporary additional duties Oct. 1 when Frank T. Brogan leaves after a four-year tenure as chancellor.
In August it was announced that Brogan was chosen to serve as the chancellor of the state university system of Pennsylvania. His last day on the Florida Board of Governors staff will be Sept. 30.
Said Brogan: "Jan has been a game-changer for our staff since arriving 18 months ago. Her lifetime of experience on and off campus has made her an excellent chief academic officer and will serve her well in leading the staff during the search for a permanent chancellor."
Ignash joined the board in 2012 after serving as chief academic officer for the State of Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board. Her experience spans three decades in education at both state and campus levels. From 1994 to 1999, Ignash worked at the Illinois Board of Higher Education. She has also taught at both undergraduate and graduate levels—earning tenure at the University of South Florida. She earned a Ph.D. in education from UCLA and master's and bachelor's degrees from Michigan State University.
"Over the past few years, it has been exciting to see Florida make a positive impression on the national stage thanks to the hard work of the board and our universities," said Ignash, who while serving as interim will continue her role as chief academic officer and will not apply for the permanent chancellor position. "At some point in the future, we will welcome a new chancellor, having ensured forward progress on our top priorities while further strengthening the ties that bind us together as a system."
Colson said he will appoint a search committee following the September board meeting. He will direct the committee to provide recommendations for the search process, including a timeline, at the board's next meeting in November.
"Our university system is well positioned to attract another first-rate leader to serve as chancellor," Colson said. "Whoever that is, he or she will arrive knowing that Florida is serious about providing access to high-quality, affordable higher education."

Coming soon…
Warning! These powerful things found in God's Word may deeply offend the self-righteous, religious mind we all struggle with from time to time. The truth always gives all the glory to God in Christ and man takes NO credit. The truth (Christ) is a huge stumbling block for the self-righteous mind who is hideously hidden inside all of us. These amazingly good things have NOTHING to do with any "religion" or man's efforts to get back to God. They just ARE (true) no matter what your beliefs are. Man does NOT create or make truth happen, God does. Man just enjoys the fruit's of God's labor (truth). This is indeed very good!
I hope to share something soon very POWERFUL called "types and shadows" that we are rarely ever taught. This is something you will NOT want to miss because it is the very key to unlocking what God is REALLY telling us through his Word. Believe me, it's very good and when you really "see" it, you will have LIFE flowing from within you.
Of course, this is all my opinion. Or is it?
I am going to make a very bold statement. I believe once a person begins to understand this powerful truth, they will NOT want to put God's Word down as it will continue to feed them powerful life and energy from within. No more FORCING you to do it because you don't want to be condemned or feel shame and guilt. That all disappears and it has NOTHING to do with what you do or don't do. It's all in simply seeing the truth that already exists.

Last I looked, foreign key constraints didn't work. This seems to be fixed now innodb, but requires migration to innodb.
Last I used Postgres it had a nasty memory leak that crashed the production DB at work at least once a day. I believe it was fixed several years ago though, which I also believe was a couple of years after InnoDB and foreign keys made it into MySQL, so I don't go around telling people that Postgres leaks. :)
I agree that many of the MySQL defaults are annoying and end up as hard lessons sometimes, but I also agree with dragonchild that DB administration is not easy and without reading the documents thoroughly bad things are likely to happen with just about any software.

CTV NEWS - november first, 2012.
Yesterday authorities reported the burning of 38 houses (and counting) in Saint-Sauveur, a small city just north of Montreal. The fire cause is still unknow. What is do known is that some sort of "reptile" was sighted nearby a number of these houses prior and after their burning. Forests have been damaged but the snow fortunately limited forestial fire propagation.
Authorities are warning the population to stand on their guard as there is no way to predict where the next fires will strike next... The population is terrified as this is the most violent non-natural fires that Saint-Sauveur population ever saw. Some feel there might be a paranormal side to these events, as witnesses stated that these fire come from "the dragon's mouth", and that this "beast" is somehow "linked to the 21/12/12" future events. Authorities belive it is the work of some very elusive pyromaniac, who is maybe wearing heavy disguise; but so far the questions about the source of his unlimited heating energy and about his footprint's weight anomaly are still unsolved mysteries.
Remember, if you see anything unusual, the number for calling up authorities is 9-1-1.
CNN - november second, 2012 news updates.
137 houses burnt. This... "thing" revealed to be resistant to bullets - if you encounter it, do not engage; just flee. Authorities insist: do not engage - flee for your safety.
CTV - november the third, 2012.
347 houses burnt and counting.... IT'S STILL ON THE LOOSE.
Nice...a dragon-style werewolf (I guess that would be a weredragon) story.
I've been waiting for Hollywood to make one of those. For some reason, I find werewolf-type movies to be the creepiest...even light-hearted ones, like American Werewolf in London. They're always a sure way to get me hooked.
Though, I must say, the story does lack one thing... the obligatory Antichrist
Now there's an idea: Werechrist vs Dragon Jo. Should try pitching that to The Asylum.

Effective communication requires showing our audience our story rather than simply telling them about it. It's difficult to hear "momentum." People need to see it and feel it.
To help build the SUNY Cortland brand, high quality photography is essential. This photography should be used on main imagery within any medium. Whether the subject is the environment, still life or a person, the quality and lighting reflect the quality and tone of our brand.
The primary use of photography should be in full color and should convey the vibrancy and energy necessary to support the momentum concept in all its iterations.
Photography can be used to capture the human element involved in the subject while freezing the specific moment to convey movement and energy. Blurred edges can be effectively used to show speed and can be incorporated into related images.
These photos are examples of images that show momentum and brand attributes.
When possible, subjects should be pushed to a corner or edge of an image to include background context and deliver a more interesting slice-of-the-moment feel.
Student, faculty or staff profile shots should include as much "freeze frame" capture of motion as possible. Every effort should be made to avoid the traditional "smile for the camera" shot.
Alumni should be represented in context and, while not looking directly into the camera, should be aware that they are being photographed.
While still trying to maintain the same compositional qualities, campus life related images can be literal as well as symbolic.

I never cease to be fascinated by the anger ginned up anytime there is even remotely serious talk about trying to bring an NBA franchise to Kentucky.
So it was last week that I heard a media friend of mine in full tirade mode against the latest attempt to lure big-time pro hoops to the commonwealth.
Why would anyone want to watch that?, he groused.
(To effectively read the following paragraphs, you'll need to activate your Sarcasm Receptor).
Very good question.
Why on earth would a state that likes to claim it is second to none in basketball passion want a team to call its own at the highest level of the sport?
Why would anyone want a chance to watch Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant, to boo LeBron James and the Heat, to see the Lakers and the Celtics and do it all here?
In an era when so many of the best college players are so fleetingly on campuses, why would we want more opportunities to watch John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, Francisco Garcia and Terrence Williams, Courtney Lee and Jeremy Evans play hoops in our state?
Why would we want our state's largest city to have a chance, via sports, to brand itself on the same level of Nashville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati?
Heck, why would we want to have one basketball team the whole state could get behind without regard to the increasingly acrimonious conflict between the athletics departments of the commonwealth's two most prominent public universities?
What kind of dolt would want any of that?
(You can now deactivate the Sarcasm Receptor).
Disclaimer: I grew up in Kentucky when we had pro hoops. I remember what a blast it was when Louie Dampier, Dan Issel and Artis Gilmore of the Kentucky Colonels were battling Julius Erving, George McGinnis and George Gervin back in the old ABA days.
So I am reflexively pro-pro hoops in Kentucky.
Whether the latest effort to bring the NBA to Louisville is viable is unclear. Past experience argues for skepticism.
In prior bids to lure pro basketball back to the Derby City, the people fighting against it have always seemed to hold more power than those who wanted it.
This time, J. Bruce Miller — the Louisville attorney who, for good or bad, always ends up the point man in the drive to return major-league pro hoops here — says he has an unnamed foreign billionaire who may be both willing to buy an NBA team and to (help) foot the bill on a retro-fit of Freedom Hall for pro hoops.
We'll see.
What is different this time than in the failed attempts earlier this century to woo the Rockets, Hornets and Grizzlies to Kentucky is that the University of Louisville now essentially has its own arena, the KFC Yum Center.
Rather than the taxpayers having to build a new facility for the NBA, if an owner really were willing to refurbish and play in Freedom Hall, they would be doing the tax-paying citizens of the commonwealth a huge favor.
Even without pro hoops, it is a legitimate issue whether the state of Kentucky has the economic base to support all the luxury suites and premium seating it is being asked to buy.
In its expansion of Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, U of L went from 26 luxury suites to 59. The KFC Yum Center has 71 luxury boxes, where Freedom Hall had 26.
Presumably, the University of Kentucky will be adding suites in any future football stadium expansion (Commonwealth Stadium now has 40) or basketball arena construction (Rupp Arena has none).
Churchill Downs and Keeneland have luxury suites; so does Kentucky Speedway.
Do the commonwealth's corporate entities and rich people have the means and desire to also support an NBA team with its own premium seating to sell?
The idea that if we got pro basketball it would somehow hurt the college basketball teams in our state is silly.
The NBA's Grizzlies going to Memphis hasn't exactly emasculated the Memphis Tigers.
Having the Pacers (and Colts) in Indianapolis didn't keep Butler from reaching the 2010 basketball national championship game.
In 1975, the Kentucky Colonels won their only ABA title. The building process that led up to that was so bad for college basketball in the commonwealth, that earlier the same year, the University of Kentucky went to the Final Four. So did the University of Louisville.
The economic viability of the NBA in Kentucky may be open to debate, though it deserves dispassionate study.
From an entertainment and basketball standpoint, there's no argument at all: Kentucky (the state) would be far better off with an NBA team of its very own.

This is an important first step that informs us what the problems will be in terms of protection from the external environment. I have long posted that we need to build huge bubbles by beginning with a simple inflatable skin. This alone allows safe zero gravity construction.
Then with simple expedients such as spray on foams, a serious solid structure can be built. What makes this really exciting is that building out to a scales of miles becomes possible including multiple layers all supported by suspension cables. around a central hub.
Again this is a necessary first step
Private Inflatable Room Launching to Space Station Next Year
Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor | October 06, 2014
TORONTO — A privately built inflatable room for astronauts on the International Space Station is on track to launch into orbit next year.
The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) is expected to head to space inside SpaceX's Dragon cargo spacecraft in 2015, according to a senior representative for thecompany Bigelow Aerospace, which is building the module. Once BEAM gets to the space station, the robotic Canadarm2 will install it on the Tranquility node's aft port to test out expandable-habitat technology.
NASA is paying Nevada-based Bigelow $17.8 million to send the demonstration module to the station, where it will be in place for at least a couple of years. Here at the International Astronautical Congress Thursday (Oct. 2), Bigelow representative Mike Gold said BEAM provides an example of what the company, and private firms in general, can do in low-Earth orbit (LEO). [Photos: Bigelow's Inflatable Space Station Idea]
"LEO will become a commercial domain," said Gold, Bigelow's director of D.C. operations and business growth.
"Maybe it's difficult to see at this point, but we go back to telecom — there was a time when every communications satellite was owned by the government," he added, noting that today, private companies are now responsible for this space domain and that it touches every aspect of people's lives, such as cellphones. "This will happen when it comes to crew operations."
Pushing for change
The BEAM mission will allow Bigelow to collect even more data about how its expandable habitat modules perform on orbit. The company blasted two other modules to orbit as stand-alone missions in 2006 and 2007 and plans to launch a private space station someday.
Private work in space, Gold noted, is hampered by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which restrict the sharing of technology with other countries, particularly China. Citing "Star Trek," Gold joked that Scottish engineer Montgomery Scott would have had trouble speaking openly with Hikaru Sulu (from Japan) if ITAR were in force on the Enterprise.
After gravity, Gold said, ITAR is the second-greatest barrier to getting something off Earth. China, in particular, is the "third rail" of ITAR, Gold said, urging other companies to help him speak to government officials in an attempt to make changes.
"We cannot fight the New Space vs. Old Space battle … with so few companies," he said. "The pie is too small. We need to come together as space enthusiasts."
International standards
Speaking on the same panel as Gold, Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA's chief of human exploration and operations, said commercial operations are needed on the International Space Station because NASA "owes the taxpayers some return."
NASA is already starting to put together voluntary international standards that could be used for future orbiting facilities, such as methods of choosing radio frequencies that do not interfere with one another, he said. But the process still needs some work.
For example, Gerstenmaier said, astronauts could not eat any of the lettuce grown onboard the space station during a recent experiment because it had to be sent back to Earth for a health and safety check first.
"That kind of upset me a bit. Couldn't they just eat a little bit of the lettuce to see if they would survive?" he joked.
NASA will use BEAM to evaluate the radiation levels inside the module compared to those on other parts of the space station, he added. The mission is part of NASA's larger push to make low-Earth orbit a place where commercial entities will operate, whether it's through launching CubeSats or ferrying cargo to and from the space station.

Theater Review: A Christmas Story — The Musical Is a True Gift
The charming musical adaptation honors everyone's holiday staple. And yes, there's a number called "You'll Put Your Eye Out."
A Christmas Story — first a radio tale, then a book, then a movie, now a Broadway musical — is a plump turducken of holiday nostalgia: memories stuffed in memories stuffed in memories, with each generation adding a new layer. First there's the tale itself, derived from the Depression-era Indiana boyhood of late humorist Jean Shepherd, famous for Rockwellian yarns salted with just enough smarts and subversion to avoid sugar shock. Boomers embraced Shepherd's Good Old Days, a retro vision they could imbibe without gagging. Their kids adopted the '83 film starring Peter Billingsley, whose creamy, bespectacled puss looked so adorably globular, it could've come right out of a Carvel display case. (If you grew up in the 1980s and managed to avoid the catchphrases "Oooohhhhh, fuuuuuudge!" and "You'll shoot your eye out," I'm guessing you lived in a barn you built yourself.)
Now the adult Billingsley (awful to picture, right?) is a producer on a sparkling new stage musical adaptation, with a surefire charmer of a score by young composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Their music sounds as if it could've been written 20 years ago, or 50. My, how time doesn't fly: In the world of the Christmas Story, it's always Nineteen Yester-Never, and a 9-year-old boy (Johnny Rabe, possibly the world's youngest minimalist comic) is always vying for that cherished Red Ryder BB gun, a mother (Erin Dilly) is always washing dirty mouths out with soap, and the Old Man (John Bolton) is forever grappling with the muzzle-fumblin' boiler in the basement. Shepherd possessed that timeless, Twainian slant on the human condition, capable of perennially warming the heart without clogging it full of treacle. Pasek and Paul, working arm-in-arm with book writer Joseph Robinette and director John Rando (Urinetown), understand and respect that gift, and pair it with a musical stagecraft that fits snug as an elfin legwarmer. A Christmas Story is that rarest of gifts: Enough pratfalls and live dogs on stage to divert the very young; enough genuine wit and heart and musical proficiency to please their wards and minders, many of whom, God help us, are old enough to recall seeing A Christmas Story debut in movie theaters.
The creators are greatly assisted by a cast of moppets that'll give the urchins at Annie a run for their money in categories ranging from Eerie Precocity to Preternatural Vocal Interpretation to Tiny Tap Solo. (In a jazzy, bring-down-the-house dream sequence entitled "You'll Put Your Eye Out," a porcelain figurine named Luke Spring blows all our fuses with his fancy footwork.) First among equals is, of course, Ralphie (Rabe), our four-eyed hero: target of bullies, petitioner of department-store Santas, wide-eyed witness to double-dog dares. (His story is told by his adult double, Shepherd himself, played with woolen-voiced warmth by the ever-avuncular Dan Lauria.) Ralphie wants just one thing for Christmas: a Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun ("with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time"). He's trying to implant the suggestion in the mind of his resistant mother (Dilly), who thinks air guns are dangerous, and his distracted father (Bolton), who's more concerned with winning a crossword correspondence contest and seeing his underappreciated genius ratified by some impartial entity. Eventually, the postman delivers him "A Major Award" in the form of the naughty novelty lamp shaped like a fishnetted female leg. The Old Man sinks before it in supplication — then anchors a production number of generous ridiculousness, choreographed ecstatically by a tip-top Warren Carlyle. Bolton's significantly more rubbery than the flinty paterfamilias played by Darren McGavin in the film, but he nails that delicate balance of buffoonery, glowering threat and latent love. Dilly pulls heartstrings taut in "What a Mother Does" and "Just Like That," and then Ralphie and his helium-voiced little-brother Randy (Zac Ballard) snap 'em in with "Before the Old Man Comes Home."
A Christmas Story is what happens when rare respect for source material meets utter sincerity and unimpeachable talent. (Only one moment doesn't stand the test of time: I believe Western culture may be ready to retire the familiar and beloved and, yes, ragingly offensive scene where the waitstaff of a Chinese restaurant serenade the family with "Deck de harrs with hows of horry!") Jean Shepherd's America — whether it ever existed or not — is in excellent hands.
A Christmas Story: The Musical is at the Lunt-Fontanne through December 30th.

By Nick Carey
MILWAUKEE, June 5 (Reuters) - Wisconsin Republican Governor
Scott Walker will become the first governor in U.S. history to
survive a recall election, television networks projected on
Tuesday, a setback for labor unions and a boost to Republican
hopes in November's presidential election.
Major networks projected Walker would be the winner about an
hour after the polls closed in Wisconsin in the divisive
election that left families at odds and neighbors not speaking
to each over Walker's push to curtail collective bargaining by
public sector workers.
With 29 percent of the vote counted, Walker led Democratic
challenger Tom Barrett 60 percent to 40 percent, according to
unofficial returns, although this was expected to narrow.
Turnout was high in closely divided Wisconsin, which helped
elect Democrat Barack Obama as president in 2008. The contest
has been seen as a barometer of the U.S. political climate going
into the presidential election in November.
The recall election led to huge campaign spending in the
Midwestern Rust Belt state, with some estimates that more than
$60 million was raised.
Roberta Komor, 53, of the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa,
said she had voted for Barrett when he ran in 2010, but this
time voted for Walker.
The law firm secretary said that in today's hard times,
unions "need to learn about shared sacrifice" when workers in
the private sector have seen their benefits or wages cut.
"They have had everything handed to them on a platter,"
Komor said. "They need to be on a par with the rest of us."
Many voters seemed relieved the election had finally come,
and voiced disgust with the recall process.
"There are too many recall elections that have been going on
in the state and it needs to be stopped," said Carolyn Gral, 51,
a Walker supporter and homemaker who is looking for a job.
Wisconsin held nine recall elections for state senators last
year after the union law was passed, setting a U.S. record.
This was just the third recall election of a governor in
U.S. history and it follows weeks of vociferous protests by
demonstrators who occupied the state Capitol in Madison as
Walker and fellow Republican lawmakers pushed through the union
curbs in March 2011.
The law forced most state workers, including teachers, to
pay more for health insurance and pensions, limited their pay
raises, made payment of union dues voluntary and forced unions
to be recertified every year.
Democrats and unions gathered nearly 1 million signatures to
force the recall election. Politicians across the nation are
watching the outcome closely.
"It has implications for the presidential race and national
politics. Wisconsin could be a swing state," said Steven Schier,
political analyst at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota.
Walker had led Barrett narrowly in most opinion polls
leading up to the balloting, with very few voters undecided, so
each side has mounted intense get-out-the-vote campaigns.
Opponents of the union curbs charge Walker and fellow
Republican lawmakers undercut workers' rights.
CNN projected that Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch
also would survive recall. She also was on the recall ballot
along with three Republican state senators. A fourth senator
targeted for recall resigned, and a candidate from each party is
vying for her empty seat.
All four of the Republican candidates in the state senate
elections were leading their races. If they win, Walker would
keep majority control of both chambers of the state legislature.
In 2008, Obama won Wisconsin by 14 percentage points over
Republican John McCain. Two years later, Republicans roared
back, electing Walker to replace the outgoing Democratic
governor, defeating veteran Democratic U.S. Senator Russ
Feingold and taking over both houses of the state legislature.
Even Obama's campaign organization conceded on Tuesday that
Wisconsin could go either way in November, giving Republican
presidential nominee Mitt Romney hope of winning a state that
has not voted Republican since the 1984 presidential election.
The only two previous recall efforts against sitting
governors that succeeded were Lynn Frazier in North Dakota in
1921 and Gray Davis in California in 2003.

I'm told there's rarely a shortage of entries in the vocal category when the Arizona Young Artists' Competition hits the Herberger Theater Center each year. But at least one vocalist found a way to truly stand out. She sang opera.
Kresley Figueroa, who won the 2012 AYAC vocal competition, was singing in community theater productions by age nine, and recalls starting "formal vocal training" at the age of ten. The saw her first opera, performed by the Sante Fe Opera, around the same time.
It didn't wow her, she recalls, because the opera featured mostly men. And frankly, the tremendous power of their voices felt a little scary at the time. But other operas — performed by The Metropolitan Opera in NYC, the Arizona Opera in Phoenix and students at Northern Arizona University — tugged at her heart.
Figueroa, now a 15-year-old sophomore at Flagstaff High School, has studied vocal performance for about five years with Deborah Raymond, associate professor of voice at the NAU School of Music.
Figueroa takes lessons with Raymond once a week or so, but also participates "every few weeks" in a pre-college program at Juilliard in NYC for those who've got the potential to pursue professional careers in music.
When in NYC, Figueroa also studies with Adam Guettel, whose work on "The Light in the Piazza" earned him two Tony Awards — one for best score, and another for best orchestrations. Seems his family, including grandfather Richard Rodgers and mother Mary Rodgers, had a thing for music too.
Figueroa is generous about sharing tips with other young vocalists. Find someone you work well with, she says. And be sure there's plenty of mutual respect. Above all, choose someone you trust — because "your voice is a fragile thing." But study with others teachers too, suggests Figueroa. It's good to get out there and work with more than one director.
Beware of trying to sound too old, vocally or emotionally, cautions Figueroa. "Just because you can doesn't mean you should." The voice is constantly developing, she says, so it needs consistent attention over time.
Figueroa plans four years of study in a college or conservatory setting once she graduates in 2014 — plus graduate studies that'll continue to hone her vocal performance. There's little opportunity to experience arts at the local high school, says Figueroa. But she finds what she needs elsewhere.
She's already taken two semesters of opera history at Northern Arizona University, and says she does a lot of reading on her own about opera and related topics — often tied to pieces she's working to master.
Her advice to those who feel intimidated or turned off by opera is simple. Just try it. "Just experience it," says Figueroa. Don't worry about doing tons of homework ahead of time. It's perfectly fine to go in completely blind. If something moves you, you can always go back and try to make sense of the pieces that didn't click.
Folks wary of opera because they expect a stuffy atmosphere full of dressed-up patrons have another option — seeing simulcast or filmed opera performances in movie theaters and performing arts venues. Mixing opera with popcorn helps vanquish outdated stereotypes, so Figueroa's all for it.
Figueroa's first place finish earned her a $1,000 scholarship. Scholarhips were also awarded to Sarah Ambrose for first place in acting and Aubrey Ares for first place in dance.
Three AYAC people's choice winners were also recognized this year — Logan Mitchell for voice, Sarah Ambrose for acting and Tori Mazzacone for dance. All competitors were between 15 and 19 years old.
The Arizona Young Artists' Competition is a collaboration between Herberger Theater Center and Center Dance Ensemble designed to "showcase the diverse and emerging talent of young Arizona artists."

Watch the first teaser for BoA and Choi Daniel's upcoming 'Expect Dating'
This morning the first teaser for Expect Dating was released via KBS's official twitter page. Although it was a short 34 second trailer, it previewed that it's going to be an extraordinary drama.
The teaser opens with the caption, "Humanity came to mind that day. The world in which couples dominate." Following this, 'Hey kid, it looks like all the flunked solos here are on my side," "I swear that dating is a total waste of time," and, "Welcome -- it's your first time dating right?"
Recently, a representative from Expect Dating met with Star News and stated, "The actors blended in well with each of their characters of similar age," and, "BoA also was immersed in acting and worked hard. Viewers will be able to experience the minor emotion; people in their 20s and 30s would sympathize."
The drama follows the story of four youthful men and women, each with different dating styles, and the various common situations that go on while dating. It will be the follow-up to Sword and Flower, and will begin airing September 11th and 12th at 10pm.
Watch the trailer here:

If you need ongoing help from a lawyer we may be able to help you fund your case. We do this by giving grants of legal assistance to people who can't afford a lawyer.
A grant of legal assistance is money used to pay a Legal Aid ACT or private lawyer to help you with your legal problem. A lawyer can:
Applications for legal assistance are subject to means, legal merit and matter tests governed by the Legal Aid Act 1977 and by guidelines made under the Act. See the guidelines for more information.
You can download an application form for Legal assistance here.
A successful application will result in a grant of legal assistance which will be subject to conditions that will usually include payment of a financial contribution.
Legal assistance is usually provided on condition that the applicant pays an initial contribution towards the cost of providing legal assistance. The amount is set out in the letter granting assistance.
Initial contributions are payable in a lump sum at the first appointment with your lawyer, but if payment in a lump sum will cause hardship you may ask to pay it by instalments. If you have trouble paying a contribution, talk to your lawyer or advise Legal Aid ACT. If you are suffering severe financial hardship, the contribution may be waived altogether.
Your contribution may be increased if the grant of assistance is extended while your matter is progressing.
Your contribution may also be reassessed if your financial position changes during or at the end of your case, or the financial information on which it was originally assessed was wrong or incomplete. Legal Aid ACT can require the amount of a contribution to be paid out of an amount of money recoverable in the case on your behalf.
A reassessed contribution can be up to 100% of the full cost of providing legal assistance.
If you own land Legal Aid ACT may grant assistance on condition that payment of a contribution is secured by a charge on your land.
If you are granted legal assistance for a matter in which a lawyer has already done work for you, it is your responsibility to pay the lawyer's legal costs up to the time assistance starts. Legal Aid ACT will pay your lawyer's legal costs from the time assistance starts to the time assistance ends, subject to cost limits placed on the grant of assistance.
If you recover legal costs in the matter in which you are receiving assistance you are liable to pay those costs to Legal Aid ACT.
If a court or tribunal orders you to pay the costs of another party you will normally have to pay those costs, although Legal Aid ACT may, in limited circumstances, agree to pay part or all of those costs on your behalf.
If your lawyer receives money on your behalf while you are receiving legal assistance, they must keep enough funds in trust to cover the cost of legal assistance.
When you apply for legal assistance you may ask us to assign your case to a particular lawyer. This could be a Legal Aid ACT lawyer, or a lawyer in private practice who handles legal aid work. Whether we refer your case to your lawyer of choice may depend on the type of case, the availability of that lawyer, and what we believe will be the most efficient use of limited legal aid funds.
Legal Aid ACT lawyers specialize in certain types of cases, and in these cases it will often be a more efficient to appoint one of our lawyers to represent you. In other cases, or where we cannot act due to conflict of interest, we will assign the case to a private lawyer.
If we decide to assign your case to a private lawyer, we will appoint your lawyer of choice, provided that lawyer is willing to handle the case. If you have no preference for a particular lawyer, we will select a private lawyer from our General Panel to handle your case.
There are several aspects to a client and lawyer relationship.
Lawyers owe their clients a duty of loyalty to act in the utmost good faith in the interests of their clients and to carry out by all proper means their client's instructions.
Another important aspect of the relationship is confidentiality. This means that all the information you give to a lawyer is private and will only be disclosed with your consent or as required by law. For more information see FOI & Privacy
Your lawyer should act on your instructions, unless it is illegal, unethical or unreasonable do so. Your lawyer should also keep you informed of important developments in your case.
It is always in a client's best interest to be truthful and provide their lawyer with all information relevant to their case so the lawyer can provide the correct advice for a particular case.
You should also bear in mind that in addition to duties owed to their clients, lawyers also owe duties to the law, and to the courts. For example, lawyers must not assist a client to break the law, or knowingly mislead a court about the facts of a case.
Legal Aid ACT aims to provide service that is professional, efficient and responsive to your needs. However, to work efficiently in your best interests we need you to provide us with accurate information. We ask that you provide correct, up to date information and notify us if:
It is also helpful if you:

Dr. William (Bill) R. Raun has been named as the Nutrients for Life Foundation Professor of Soil and Food Crop Nutrition at Oklahoma State University (OSU). The professorship, which is funded in-part by the Nutrients for Life Foundation, The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) and the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI), will explore the linkages between fertilizer use and the nutritional quality of food. Dr. Raun accepted the professorship duties on July 1, following the OSU Board of Regents' recommendation.
"I believe ours is the most progressive nitrogen management program in the world," said Dr. Raun. "This is the result of a team effort that has been ongoing since I arrived with Dr. John Solie (Mechanical Engineer), Dr. Marvin Stone (electrical engineer), and a host of incredibly dedicated graduate students." The Nutrients for Life Foundation Professor of Soil and Food Nutrition is in the Department of Plant and Soil Science located within the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The cross-disciplinary position will work closely with the college's Robert M. Kerr Food & Agricultural Products Center. Dr. Raun will teach a class each semester about fertilizer's role in healthy food, while also researching this important issue.
The industry pooled its resources to donate $250,000 to OSU. Through a rare matching program made available from oil and gas executive and OSU alum T. Boone Pickens and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, the fertilizer industry's $250,000 will translate to $1 million to fund a professorship in perpetuity. This position brings the strengths of three organizations together to address fertilizer's affect on food nutritional quality.
"In Dr. Raun's 17-year career at OSU, he has developed into an outstanding faculty member who has brought national and international recognition to Oklahoma through his total commitment to teaching, research and extension components of the land-grant mission," said Robert E. Whitson, Vice President, Dean and Director of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. His research is focused on making a difference in the lives of people and the environment in which they live."
Endowed professorships and chairs are academic designations which provide support for faculty salary, graduate assistantships, equipment and research needs, as well as other support. These endowed faculty positions allow a university to attract and retain the best and the brightest academic minds in the world.

Blood, guts, boobs and explosions; these action and thriller titles on Foxtel Play aren't afraid to bare all.
Foxtel has the Australian rights to many major series from the US and UK. If you don't want to pay out for a full Foxtel subscription, Foxtel Now is a relatively affordable alternative. If you're an Action/Thriller fan, take advantage of the Foxtel Now free trial with the following titles.
|The troubled anti-hero Dexter Morgan works as a blood spatter expert for the Miami Metro Police Department by day. By night (or whenever the urge takes him) he's a serial killer hunting down those who have evaded the justice system – sometimes with Dexter's aid.
|True Detective Season 2
|Season 2 of this revered series started off on the wrong foot with a misguided stab at the clever dialogue that made the original True Detective so good. If you gave up early, then now's your time to get back into it because if you push through those first few episodes you'll find the story becomes much easier to follow.
|True Detective
|On the other hand, if you straight up refuse to give Season 2 of True Detective a chance, you can always revisit the stellar first season with the enigmatic Rust Cohle (Mcconaughey) and everyman Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) on Foxtel Play.
|Fear The Walking Dead
|Fear The Walking Dead is a fresh take on The Walking Dead universe and is set three months before Rick Grimes awakens from his coma – the very beginning of the zombie apocalypse. Though the first episode has only just released, critics are already calling it a slow-burn horror – a nice departure from the intensity of the original series.
|The Walking Dead
|….but if it is intensity you're after, then catch the entire original series of The Walking Dead. From the CDC and Hershel's Farm to the prison, Foxtel has every season available thanks to their Boxsets channel. Once you're finished the first five seasons of The Walking Dead you'll have plenty of Fear The Walking Dead to binge.
|Ray Donovan
|Ray Donovan might not look like much from the outside but this Showtime original is actually a riveting action series that captures some classic L.A noir. Ray Donovan is a Hollywood "fixer", someone the rich and famous pay to make their problems disappear. When his father (Jon Voight) is released from prison, his estranged family come back to haunt him.
|Peaky Blinders
|Underbelly, Chopper and Ned Kelly are all evidence for the Australian affection for (preferably true) gangster stories and Peaky Blinders should be no exception. This British historical drama about a family of gangsters who stitch razor blades into the brims of their flat caps has received rave reviews and features the likes of Sam Neill, Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy.
|Penny Dreadful
|This gothic horror was one of 2014's best new arrivals and it can only be found on Foxtel. Penny Dreadful gets its name from the pulp 19th century publications it also raids for a large roster of fictional characters, including Dorian Grey, Dr Frankenstein and Mina Harke.
|After a bumpy ride through its beloved three seasons Hannibal has sadly been canned. Though there is talks of a feature film on the way, the series is all but done. In case you missed Mads Mikkelsen as the titular cannibal, get a taste of it on Foxtel Play today.
|From Dusk Till Dawn: The TV Series
|You know Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's horror classic – now explore the expanded universe of the Gecko Brothers, the Fuller family and the supernatural strip club they find themselves in. If you've always wanted to see Fez (Wilmer Valderrama) from That 70s Show as a badass vampire, then From Dusk 'Till Dawn: The TV Series is sure to please.

Two wins, but lads fall short in Terborg
31 May 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Friday's defeat to Fluminense came back to haunt our Academy as we bowed out of the Terborg Tournament despite back-to-back wins on Saturday afternoon.
A 2-0 triumph against Dutch side Vitesse was followed up with a convincing 3-0 victory against Chinese outfit Dalian Aerbin on the second day of the competition, taking our overall group points tally to seven after Friday evening's 1-1 draw with Cruzeiro.
But with Fluminense, who beat us 2-0 in our opening game on Friday, having accumulated the same amount of points, we finished third in the group – and out of the qualifying places – on the head-to-head rule.
"We've paid the price for that first performance," said Academy Manager John McDermott." It's unfortunate that the rules of the tournament say that in the event of equal points the head-to-head counts first rather than goal difference, but we knew that going in and we've only got ourselves to blame for a very insipid performance against Fluminense."
Saturday's action started with a useful win against Vitesse, Harry Winks scoring his second penalty of the tournament after a foul on Kyle Walker-Peters to put us into the lead.
Vitesse enjoyed a good spell of possession in the second half and hit the woodwork, but a fine goal on the counter-attack from Kenny McEvoy in the closing moments secured a 2-0 win.
"We continued where we left off in yesterday's game against Cruzeiro," John said. "We dominated the game, especially in the first half when we were excellent and we enjoyed probably our best 20 minutes of the trip.
"The second half was slightly closer, Vitesse were more aggressive and played more on the front foot but we were still very comfortable. We rode our luck a bit as the second half went on and then scored a very good counter-attack goal right at the end."
McEvoy was back on the scoresheet as we faced Dalian Aerbin later in the day, finishing at the far post after an acrobatic effort from Alex McQueen was deflected into his path. Emmanuel Sonupe then drilled inside the near post to double our lead before Daniel Akindayini completed a 3-0 victory.
"The game was very convincing and very one-sided," concluded John, whose side will now face Feyenoord in the fifth/sixth placed play-off match on Sunday afternoon.

Who needs sales with a wardrobe like yours, Sabine! I love everything you wear.
My sales buys were very useful, a new ironing board (reduced to a tenner) and six redcurrant bushes down to 10p each. xxx

What an incredible bag Sabine!
I'm not a great sale shopper, if the new stuff is out then I usually bypass the madness and pine over the shiny new things!! I blame working in retail, sale times are the worst! I 've been witness to a few occassions where it's induced near brawls in (hopefully) otherwise sane women.
If I do succumb it's usually online to avoid the madness!

Ha, THIS bag I got 15 years ago - in the SALES & love it like the first day. I had so much online disappointment that I was really up to hitting the real thing - it wasn't as bad as I feared, but then I only went to Zara, COS and Liberty London. That's just as much I can take...

Police Department Launching Online Reporting
Phoenix Police Department Launches Online Reporting Service
The Phoenix Police Department has launched a new online service for reporting minor theft, vehicle burglary, lost property and other crimes. This system is part of the city's focus on innovations and is expected to save nearly $1 million annually.
"I am extremely excited about this because it offers residents another tool to fight crime and it saves taxpayer dollars at the same time," said Councilman Michael Nowakowski, chairman of the City Council Public Safety, Veterans, Transparency and Ethics Subcommittee.
"I have been a proponent of this from the beginning and am thrilled to see it come online," said Councilwoman Thelda Williams. "This is cutting-edge, crime-fighting technology that will help protect residents and keep our neighborhoods safe."
Residents may use the online option to report criminal damage, fraudulent use of credit/debit cards, identity theft, lost property, theft, among other crimes. Residents must continue to contact 9-1-1 for emergencies and crimes in progress.
Residents may access this service at "http://www.phoenix.gov/police/index.html" phoenix.gov/police

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will embark on their first tour in three years in 2012, the rock legend announced Monday.
The band will play a string of European dates between May and July, with further US and world dates to be announced shortly.
The European leg of the tour will include two headline slots at the Isle of Wight Festival and London's Hard Rock Calling festival.
It will be the band's first tour since its legendary saxophone player, Clarence Clemons, died in June aged 69, following a stroke.
"A lot of you have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be on tour in 2012. That is absolutely correct," Springsteen wrote on his website. "The European dates run from the middle of May until end of July and are being announced this week. Info on the US dates and the world tour dates will [be] coming up shortly."
The New Jersey singer-songwriter also announced that his new album is almost complete.
"In addition, we want you to know that the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet), and that we are all incredibly excited about everything that we're planning for 2012," he wrote.

Reading a fairly lengthy interview with Donald Watson (which took place when he was 92 years old) made that which came to mind seem rather more important. (a big thank you to Lee Hall who posted a link to that interview).
It is doubtful that many vegans have read that interview and that's unfortunate. I almost wish it were somehow mandatory that everyone receive a printed copy of it at the onset of their living vegan and that they then read it annually (at least) for the remainder of their lives. It's a terrific interview and I hope everyone who happens to see this will take the time to read the whole thing and maybe even print it out and go back to it occasionally. He (Mr. Watson) was quite a remarkable human animal.
|Donald Watson.
So, I say there's nothing wrong with colour printing providing it doesn't obliterate the words or make them more difficult to read, especially for older people who may, for all we know, be the very people who leave legacies to the Society. The legacies don't come from teenagers or young people who're struggling, day by day, to live, and pay the basic living expenses, to keep their business, and their educations, going. The legacies come from older people, not rich people, but people with no dependents, very often, who can leave thousands of pounds as a kind of blood transfusion to keep our message still available for those who are drawn to read it.Those thoughts from him seem so plain and simple and profound. Everyone who's vegan is going to eventually die, and as my friend over at So I'm Thinking of Going Vegan noted, they'll have an obituary, in addition to a legacy, and how lovely it would be if each vegan left a message of advocacy via their obituary (in addition to directing their legacy toward furthering the spread of veganism). As she points out in her post, that obituary could: "be a testimony about what was most important to you, and an appeal for others to go vegan as well".
It is deplorable that so little attention seems to be given to how very very much we owe our sister/brother Earthlings. Think of all the slave labor we've stolen from them for thousands and thousands of years. Think of all the plowing they've done (under threat of violence) for humans, all the pulling of carts, all the carrying of humans on their backs.
This photo was taken from the internet and the human depicted is doing exactly what my Mother's father did to prepare the soil to plant the crops that he grew on his farm. He (my maternal grandfather) farmed his whole life, helped raise four children (including my Mother) on a small farm in southwestern Oklahoma. None of that way of living would have been possible without the slave labor of non-human animals. My family, it could be argued, owes its very existence to the labor of non-human slaves (not to mention the deaths and misery of those who were killed for food). We have a debt, a phenomenal and huge owing, to those mule and oxen and horse beings who were made to live their lives expending effort for our benefit.
If you think about it...and you should...the current configuration of human societies owes their very existence to the non-human animals. Certainly my mother's family does. They could not have been able to pull that plow and prepare that soil for crops...well...maybe a little...but nothing like on the scale that allowed my grandfather to grow acres and acres of corn and cotton and whatever. That allowed them to scratch out an adequate enough livelihood to raise four children.
Saying all that to say. Everyone who's vegan should be making provision to leave their legacy to furthering veganism, to helping alleviate the suffering and captivity of non-human Earthlings. Every human animal who is vegan (and non-vegan), it could be argued, owes their life's existence to those animal slaves and those animals who were victimized for food. We took from them, against their will, their labor and their lives.
Those efforts and lives are ill-gotten gains. They didn't belong to us but we took them (or our ancestors did). We got here on their backs and over their corpses (and because of eating their corpses). Everyone reading this, if they look far enough back in their family history, will eventually reach a point where they find that the livelihood of their foremothers and forefathers depended on animal efforts and animal lives. Every single reader will, most likely, find this to be true.
That's why whatever I've accumulated during my lifetime will go toward supporting vegan rescues and/or sanctuaries and/or vegan advocacy efforts. Some small bit of that accumulation might be because of my efforts...but the unpaid owings of my ancestors easily accounts for that and by far the bulk of whatever I might have is because of the beginnings I was given from the efforts of animals who weren't human. We owe reparations to them (just as we here in the U.S. owe reparations for the stolen misery and effort and labor of human slaves)...we owe and we owe tremendously. Trying to returning some of what we've stolen isn't "charity"...it's justice...it's decency...it's the right thing to do.
Use your obituary for advocacy, bequeath your legacy for vegan advocacy and for the sanctuaries and rescues devoted to the alleviation of the suffering and killing of our sister/brother Earthlings. Because we all owe them for what is and has been stolen (by violence or threat of violence) from them. Oh, and please, as Mr. Watson suggests, don't obliterate words in your vegan literature...or make them difficult to read for us older people. Ok?

ST. LOUIS — After a mini-vacation in Montreal ordered by amateur shrink Tom Lasorda, Tom Niedenfuer has found work refreshing again.
"Things are starting to take a turn," said the Dodger reliever, who hasn't been seen in Busch Stadium since Ozzie Smith's shocking home run in last fall's National League playoffs, but will be back in the bullpen when the Dodgers open a two-game series with the Cardinals tonight.
"I'm starting to make better pitches."
Niedenfuer wasn't allowed to make any pitches at all Friday, when Lasorda told him not to show up at Olympic Stadium.
"I'd thrown a lot," Niedenfuer said. "Tommy told me that if I came to the ballpark, he'd be tempted to use me. I think it was good for both of us."

David Hayden talks about "Practical .NET2 and C#2"
David Hayden, a well known website developer and .NET blogger talks about his initial comments on Practical .NET2 and C#2!
Reading Practical .NET 2 and C#2 by Patrick Smacchia
Kudos to Patrick Smacchia on his new book, Practical .NET 2 and C#2.
I have read about 150 pages of the 800+ page book and the book rocks. The chapters I have read so far ( yeah, I don't always read the chapters in order ):
Chapter 1: Assembly, module, IL language
Chapter 4: The CLR ( Common Language Runtime )
Chapter 5: Processes, threads, and synchronization
Chapter 7: Reflection, late binding, attributes
Chapter 12: Inheritance, polymorphism and abstraction
Chapter 13: Generics
Chapter 15: Collections
are excellent and full of detail. The pages are packed, too:
No big glaring gaps of white space and fluff that you get from some books that try to meet a page minimum.
Code samples get right to the point as opposed to showing a lot of extraneous code.
All code is in C# which means you don't have to deal with duplicate examples in multiple languages.
I will give a full review in a few weeks, but so far the book is a real joy to read. Check it out for yourself.

In Sri Lanka, the military says it has captured key areas held by Tamil Tiger rebels, in the north of the country. As Anjana Pasricha reports from New Delhi, the Sri Lankan army is on a major offensive to crush the rebels, who have been fighting for a Tamil homeland for 25 years.
A Sri Lankan military spokesman says that the navy sank two Tamil Tiger boats, damaged another and killed several rebels, Tuesday.
The sea battle took place as troops consolidated their hold on three strategic towns captured from the rebels in recent days.
The most important of these is Manukulam, which lies on a junction of a key highway and another road leading to the main rebel stronghold.
The army says the town was used by the Tamil Tigers as a crucial supply route to the north.
Manukulam was captured Monday -- just two days after the military said it had taken control of another key town, Pooneryn. from the rebels.
Military spokesman, Udaya Nanayakkra says the military now controls the entire western coast of the island nation for the first time in a decade. He says this will hamper the rebels from operating in the sea.
"Complete western coastal area has been liberated now and we have completely stopped the Sea Tiger activities in that area," Nanayakkra said.
The government says the recent battlefield successes are "psychologically important" for troops trying to drive the rebels out of the north, where they control vast stretches of territory.
An independent assessment of the fighting in the north is difficult, because journalists are barred from the area.
However, analysts agree that the military has made significant advances against the rebels. But the head of Colombo's National Peace Council, Jehan Perera, says the rebels, who are also known as the LTTE, still remain a formidable fighting force.
"Certainly the LTTE is under pressure," Perera said. "LTTE has been giving way all the time… They have lost large amount of territory. But from what we know they still retain the bulk of their weaponry and also their core fighters, who number several thousands, so it is still premature to say that the LTTE has been irreversibly weakened."
The Sri Lankan military's next target is the main rebel stronghold, Killinochi. The government has vowed to crush the rebels, who have been fighting for an autonomous homeland for the minority Tamil community since 1983.
