text: Hi. Just after a little advice. I've just ordered an m3 lite pro. My mate gave me a load of roms, but they're already patched for the supercard lite. I was just wondering if it's possible to get them working on my m3? Will the m3 game manager re-patch the roms for me, or will i even be able to just use them as they are? Or will i have to just forget about it and find the clean roms? Cheers K

1st day:Welcome aboard the sailing yacht BILLY JEAN at 2:00 pm in American yacht harbor with a typical Caribbean Rum Punch. We will explain to you, all the things you have to know about "living aboard". We will set sail to Great St, James and, anchor in Christmas Cove, where you can have your first swim and snorkel in the blue Caribbean waters. With a little luck you will discover one of the turtles or stingrays who live here. See the cruise ships at the horizon, leaving St, Thomas at sunset.
2nd day:
We sail to Buck Island, a very attractive snorkel spot. After lunch we sail either to Charlotte Amalie harbor, the main anchorage in St, Thomas, if you are into shopping and nightlife or we drop anchor in Honeymoon Bay in Water Island, if you want to spend a more quiet evening.
3rd day:
Today we will have our longest sail ahead of us. About 20 miles or 4 hours to Culebrita. Like most of the anchorages in the Spanish Virgin Islands, during the week you're likely to have Culebrita to yourself, but it's a different story on the weekends.
Although the Spanish Virgin Islands lie just 15-20 miles from the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, they are far less crowded. Even though they're part of the United States, they have none of the commercialism of the U.S. Virgin Islands, nor the crowds of charter boats that fight for moorings in the British Virgin Islands.
If you want to read what the Boat US Magazine had to say about this area click here.
4th day:
Our destination today is Culebra and we check in to Puerto Rico territory.
Explore Culebra, which isn't very difficult to do. Because the U.S. government has one of its most diverse National Wildlife Refuges on Culebra, land developers haven't made much of a toehold there, either. There are three roads, each of them leading to a beach, and 2,000 people on the 11-square-mile island. Most people live in Dewey, the town all the locals call "Culebra," and everyone is friendly, laid-back and unaffected. Stop in for an introductory beer at the Dinghy Dock.
Hike across the is land to Playa Flamenco, one of the most spectacular beaches anywhere in the Caribbean, and see how many of the 85 kinds of birds that nest on Culebra you can identify.
5th day:
After breakfast we sail to an island in the south of Culebra, Cayo Luis Pena. The under water coral world will take your breath away. After Lunch we set sail, be sure you have your trolling lines out; Vieques Sound is full of bonito, tuna and dolphin. We drop anchor at Palominos, a small island with a white beach and a lot of palm trees.
6th day:
We leave the Spanish Virgin Island world and sail to Marina Puerto del Rey. Here we pick up our rental car and get ready to visit one of the most historic cities in the Caribbean Old San Juan. You can visit the Fort, do great shopping in the narrow street and we will dine in one of the typical restaurants. After a long and exciting day we return to Billy Jean.
7th day:
One of the highlights of this trip will be the visit of the El Yunque Rainforest.
The El Yunque Rain forest is a cool, mountainous, semi tropical rain forest in eastern Puerto Rico. The abundant rainfall is shed down the mountain through rocky rivers creating many cascades of waterfalls and pools. At the higher elevations the waters are clean enough to drink and delightful to swim in. Bring your bathing suit! The forest hosts a number of unique plant and animal species such as the endangered Puerto Rican Parrot and the tiny coquis (indigenous tree frogs) that serenade the evening hours.
"According to ancient Indian Legend, the good spirit 'Yuquiyu' reigned on his mighty mountain-top throne, protecting Puerto Rico and its people. The name Luquillo is derived from this god spirit's Indian name."
El Yunque is managed by the US Forest Service who maintain an extensive network of hiking trails. Picnic facilities, paved trails and tour bus parking, the 'El Portal' exhibit hall and lookout towers are on the North side. The South side is the quiet side.
El Yunque is an excellent choice for a rainforest experience. It is a very gentle forest. In fact; there are no poisonous snakes! The need to protect our planets rain forests becomes more apparent as one gains a better understanding through actual experience
8th day:
After breakfast we will bring you to the airport. We are sure you will have a wonderful vacation.
Important notice:
* Excursions ashore to the rain forest and Old San Juan are not included in the rate. Dinner in Old San Juan is not included in rate. Marina fee in Porto Del Rey is not included in rate. Two day car rental is not included in the rate.

That's right, sports fans: Steve Jobs is helping me design my hardcover travel-adventure book, Surfing the Middle East. Well... while I'm reading his biography, that is.
And so, don't mistake this little blog entry as some comment on Newt Gingrich-style "open relationships," or how ridiculous all those American Yoga studios are with their half-naked Indian gurus hung on the wall... this post is about design. And how to do it. Steve Jobs style.
Now, I'm not going to yell at you (like Jobs was known to do). I'm not going to call you "fucking dickless assholes" as Jobs biographer, Walter Isaacson, quotes from a meeting with VLSI Technology where someone apparently didn't do something right. No, this post is about grace. And the ability to conceptualize a product and hone in on the details to refine it into an experience where people keep knocking at the door for more.
So rather than hitting the geek pipe and making computers with my life, I chose a different path: combining Middle East surfing and journalism. And sweet hell, why not?
This whole thing started somewhere in early 2009, when I was about to graduate from college but couldn't find a job. I did everything. Even failed a State Department Foreign Service Exam. And so it was from the more radical depths of my very different mind that I decided that it would be a good idea to try to tell the story of the Middle East through surfing: from Israel to Lebanon, around the closed border, in a place the New York Times calls the "world's most combustible region."
Of course you can't go directly from Israel to Lebanon. The closed border is in the way, with all sides taking the fiercest aim at each other. So, you have to go around. Meaning that after I somehow found surf in northern Israel, I would have to go back down through Jerusalem, across the West Bank, fly from Jordan and over Syria, and land in a Lebanese airport that required me to get a second American passport. (Israel and Lebanon are still technically at war, and in Lebanon they deny entry to anyone with an Israeli visa.)
It was a rip-roaring adventure, all right. And you can read about it in my upcoming book, Surfing the Middle East: Deviant Journalism from the Lost Generation. But the reason for this post is that I wanted to share another story from along the way... but this one doesn't exactly land us in the Orient.
Designing my hardcover book (and interactive iPad app) has been just as big of an escapade as traveling with a surfboard in the Middle East. It has caused me to pull my hair out, ram my truck into fire hydrants, and play my electric guitar in ways that even I find too offensive to share in this hell-bent blog post. But it was all worth it.
Nothing energizes me more than creating a product out of surfing from Israel to Lebanon. It's adventure, journalism and sport, all wrapped into one. And in trying to convey that experience to you, I'm working to design a hardcover book that's a thrill of its own. In fact, I'm turning to my own naked Indian guru: Steve Jobs. Or at least what Walter Isaacson has written about this most unusual sandal-wearing, beard-growing, perfectionist obsessive billionaire hippie, who had more Bob Dylan tapes than even I do.
One of the basic tenets that I've learned from Jobs is that it's all about The Product. Everything else is secondary. (To hell with my Twitter account!) If you don't have a good product then you might as well stop what you're doing and not pollute the human race with more ill-conceived crap.
As is the case for all physical products (like the iPhone or even a graphically enhanced hardcover travel book), the consumer needs to feel like they can dominate the product experience. Steve Jobs and Jony Ive, who was head of design at Apple, worked tirelessly to make the iPhone so easy to use that even technology-fearing grandmothers stand in line for it.
Then there's the simplicity of a product and getting to its roots of the thing. When Apple released the original iMac in that cool blue color (that I can never remember how to spell), Bill Gates called it a "fad" and thought that all anyone had to do was paint one of those hideous PC towers and that the iMac craze would be over. He was wrong. By making the iMac blue and transparent, they focused on elements of design that struck right at the essence of their product. The iMacs were fun and accessible, and you felt proud to have one in your house. They helped make Apple what it is today.
There's plenty more to learn from Steve Jobs, but that's going to have to do it for now. Because as Jobs would say, you need to be as proud of the things you don't do as the things you do. And with that, his formula of focusing on making a few great products that consumers feel a personal bond with is the secret.
Jobs was about selling an experience.
So why not try to learn a thing or two and ingrain some of that wisdom into my own travel book?
Can it be done? Hell, it's worth a shot.

Over half of the consumers surveyed reported areas where their current camera was falling short of their needs. These consumers are more likely to upgrade their cameras if they realize the issues they report in older cameras are resolved in newer models.
Weymouth, MA (PRWEB) July 10, 2014
New technology advancements are continuously changing the digital camera market, which give consumers good reason to upgrade or replace current cameras. According to InfoTrends' digital camera tracking index, over 40% of the camera models introduced in 2013 had wireless capability built-in, which is up significantly from 15% in 2012. As connectivity, whether built-in vs optional or Wi-Fi vs cellular, finds its way into more cameras, it will make the task of sharing with friends and family easier. Making photo sharing easier and more convenient will better enable digital cameras to compete with the popular smartphone, whether users want to share using email, text message, or upload to Facebook.
InfoTrends' Digital Camera End-user Survey Analysis: United States considers the way in which user demographics are changing, highlights the segments that should be targeted in various marketing efforts, and uncovers what consumers are doing with their growing digital photo collections. InfoTrends also highlights in this study that promoting camera upgrades and repeat purchases are keys to success in this market. Over half of the consumers surveyed reported areas where their current camera was falling short of their needs. These consumers are more likely to upgrade their cameras if they realize the issues they report in older cameras are resolved in newer models. Common areas of concern included battery life, low-light capture capabilities, and lack of Wi-Fi connectivity. Digital camera vendors should focus marketing messages on issues such as these, and how they have improved with newer models. Viral forms of marketing including blogs, social networks, and video sharing are effective tools to complement traditional advertising methods.
Other research from InfoTrends' Consumer Digital Interchangeable Lens Camera Study also reveals promising insight into the digital camera market. The new crop of advanced point & shoot cameras that offer larger image sensors is raising the image quality bar for the digital camera category as a whole. Point & shoot cameras with larger image sensors are increasing in popularity and could possibly compete with the higher level DSLR and CILC cameras due to their level of image quality, compact size, and built-in optical zoom lenses. For many people, a point & shoot camera with a larger image sensor will be more appealing because it retains the familiar form factor on a point & shoot camera, and does not require learning a new camera system.

You never know what you will find when you dig beneath the surface of the earth, and sometimes, people find a treasure trove from centuries past.
Construction workers in the Spanish city of Tomares were recently digging ditches to install a water line to a park when they noticed irregular terrain about three feet below ground level, according to El Pais.
As they dug further into the ditch, the workers reportedly found 19 storage containers with roughly 1,300 pounds of bronze Roman coins inside.

The coins ended up dating back to the third and fourth centuries, and they appeared to have never been in circulation, making the treasure almost pristine by comparison with other coin discoveries.

The face of the coins featured an emperor, Maximian or Constantine, on one side, and Roman allegories on the other.
Researchers have speculated that the coins were made for paying taxes or supporting legions of the Roman armies that were in Spain at the time.

"We have a team looking into the discovery right now. We believe it is hugely important and will have more information very soon," a spokesman at Andalusia's Ministry of Culture in Seville told The Local on Thursday.
600kg haul of ancient Roman coins worth 'several million euros' found in Spain https://t.co/mSKbdbytgz pic.twitter.com/UBhudtn2iw
— RT (@RT_com) April 29, 2016
Ana Navarro, head of Seville's Archaeology Museum, estimated that the coins were worth "certainly several million euros."
"The majority were newly minted and some of them probably were bathed in silver, not just bronze," Navarro told reporters. "I could not give you an economic value, because the value they really have is historical and you can't calculate that."
The Romans invaded that part of the country around 206 B.C. and stayed for about 700 years, turning it into one of the empire's richest colonies.

This finding is pretty awesome, and researchers will undoubtedly be studying these coins to answer questions from that time period.

"Where's that woman? Damn her!"
"What woman, daddy?"
"Your mother, you fool."
As they walked, cool wind pushed them towards the big yellow house. The farmer's daughter tried to hold his hand – but he waved her away. He pointed down at the storm cellar door.
"Get in! Shut it, like your mom showed ya. This'll be on us fast!"
She ran ahead. The Winnie-the-Poohs on her blue dress danced in the wind. Hugging a stuffed bunny, it's grey head bounced around over her shoulder, ears flopping. One of its button eyes was missing.
In front of the house, a massive magnolia showered white flowers across the gravel driveway, over his wife's sky blue Bel Air. She was home.
Rounding towards the front porch, he peered into windows for signs of her. Dimly, they only reflected the sky beyond. Black billowing clouds. A dark tide, rolling in.
Lightning flashed. Thunder rumbled the ground. He stomped his feet in response and patted the dust off his overalls before stepping onto the porch. It started to rain – sideways. Tiny bits of hail stung his face and skidded past his boots.
He swung the screen door open. "Sheryl!"
The house reeked sour. She hadn't taken out the damn garbage. He clenched his jaw and headed upstairs, imagining her drugged out, still asleep.
Heavy-handed wind slapped the house, swaying it some; crackling its wood shell.
Cresting the stairs, he turned into their bedroom. She wasn't there. The bed wasn't made. It wasn't like her. He knew that she'd be scared of him today, but she'd never hide. He vaguely remembered their fight from last night. He turned back to the stairs, scanning his thick, tan hands. No marks on the knuckles.
On the landing, he detected a familiar sound from outside – still distant. Like a diesel freight train.
Wind slapped the house, harder this time. He hammer-fisted a family picture on the wall, shattering glass – then took the stairs two at a time.
At the bottom, he pivoted into the dining room and ran past the table holding last night's empty Cokes and bottles of Jack, which rattled under his steps.
He burst into the kitchen. She wasn't there. On a hunch, he rushed to the window above the sink. He saw her. Outside, on the patio. She was sitting on a white plastic chair, ducking wind.
"What the Sam hell?"
In the bright floodlight, he saw her bent over, hands clasped on the bottom of the chair, craning her neck to look up at the window. Her face was badly beaten. The other white chairs and table of the patio set were gone. Her hair was blown sideways, like a wind-struck black flag. The house had shielded her from the brunt of the wind. So far.
He slapped the window with his stony hand, striking a lightning bolt across the glass. "Dammit woman!"
She tilted her head, as if she could see him. Her left eye was nearly swollen shut. Her eyelid was blue and inflamed. Beat raw. There was a slit of glassy red where her eye should be. Her jaw looked wrong.
I went too far.
He stiffened, remembering something he had said. Late last night, he had shouted at her to stay there. After the beating. He had pushed her into that very chair, yelling nonsense. Screaming, spit flying, beating his own chest, he remembered pointing towards their daughter's bedroom window. He remembered somehow threatening her, too. He didn't know why.
"Sheryl, you know me. You know!" He slapped the window again. "Never!" he screamed past a lump in his throat.
He saw leaves and pieces of potato plants, purple and white flowers, swirl in the air far behind her. He saw what could be shingles and siding from the barn.
He knew what the look on her ravaged face meant. It meant something well beyond hurt and sad. It meant she had lost faith – in him. It meant goodbye.
The wind changed. The freight train was all around now, deafening. Her wet hair flipped up. She sat up: In defiance. Her top lip quivered. Eerily, her chair leaned back. It stayed on its hind legs for only a second before the wind took them both. She flew up and off, spinning into darkness. He was shocked by the speed. Plucked gone, hurled into swirling debris. It was like God Himself had reached down with an invisible hand and flicked her away.
He felt himself crumble away on the inside while everything around him fell apart. The left side of his body was pelted by a thousand bullet-pieces-of-house. Weightlessly, he began to float with the icy rush. Roll with the dark wave. Numbly, he did, relaxing. He slammed into something big: Metal. He felt himself funneled up the cone. Then pushed towards the brighter side. He blinked bleary eyes and saw the magnolia tree below, bent over the Bel Air, stripped of its white flowers. Both of them were being picked up, twisted amidst a cloud of dust and gravel. With a sudden jerk, he was spit out of dark cold into bright sunlight.
He fell from an incredible height. His arms hopelessly swam for stability, pinwheeling against warm air. Below, his potato fields had been ravaged by the wind – scraped raw.
God throws me into my own dirt.
Seconds before impact, he imagined his daughter in the storm cellar, talking to her bunny, thumbing at its missing eye – telling it that "Mommy can save us from the storm." The storm that I am.by

Puducherry: N Rangasamy, who ended the reign of his former party Congress in a stunning electoral debut for his outfit, was on Monday sworn in as Chief Minister of Puducherry for a third term.
61-year old Rangasamy, chief of All India NR Congress, was administered oath of office by Lt Governor Iqbal Singh at the Raj Nivas here, making him the 18th Chief Minister of the tiny Union Territory.
No other minister was sworn in along with Rangasamy, who had earlier headed Congress Governments from 2001-06 and 2006-08 when he was unceremoniously removed by the party high command following a revolt by his cabinet colleagues.
Taking a sweet revenge on Congress, Rangasamy, who broke ranks with the party a few months before the polls and floated his own party, which on its own bagged 15 seats. Its ally, AIADMK, won five seats to give a two-thirds majority to the combine in the 30-member Assembly.
Congress could win only seven seats and its ally DMK two.
Independent MLA VMC Sivakumar, a DMK rebel, has extended his support to AINRC, enabling it command a simple majority of 16 in the Assembly.

The gathering that led to the suspension of nine members of the Westminster High School girls basketball team for allegedly violating the Carroll school system's alcohol policy was a sleepover at which a small amount of beer apparently was drunk, the father of one of the girls who was suspended said yesterday.
Randall S. Matthews, whose home was the site of the gathering last month, said that during the night he discovered that a small group of boys had crashed the sleepover, and that he asked them to leave. He said he saw evidence of drinking the next day, but he charged that school officials had overreacted by suspending the girls from the team for the rest of the season.
"These are good girls, good students, nice young ladies," he said. "These girls are not in any way, shape or form ever in trouble. They've been punished far beyond what would to me be reasonable."

Click for more information about Kermadec Islands
2015 Apr by Ryan Trapp
|Ryan Trapp does not wish to be contacted by MTP members
March/April 2015: I visited all 5 main islands of the Kermadecs chain with Heritage Expeditions (www.heritage-expeditions.com) sailing on the Russian vessel Spirit of Enderby from the Port of Tauranga in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand on a 10-day expedition. After nearly 43 hours of sailing, we stopped first at the barren and bird-filled volcanic rock of L esprance, the southernmost island of the Kermadecs, which we circumnavigated by ship before continuing on to the closely-linked Curtis Island and Cheeseman Island (where we did the same). Early on the fourth day of the expedition, we dropped anchor at Raoul Island, the largest island of the chain and the focus of our expedition, where we took zodiacs to the island and I made four separate several hour landings (1 landing each day) in which I hiked along various different trails. Highlights of Raoul Island were Denham Bay, with its beautiful beach coastline complete with a rusted shipwreck (and disembarking the island by zodiac with large waves which thoroughly soaked us all), the rugged island trails filled with friendly Kermadec perikeets (which numbered in the hundreds and were seen at very close range), and snorkeling twice offshore by zodiac with colorful fish and a few Galapagos sharks. After 4 days at Raoul Island, we spent 3 days sailing back to the Port of Tauranga, circumnavigating Macauley Island by ship on our voyage back, which completed our visit to all the main islands of the Kermadecs. The lead staff of Heritage Expeditions noted that this expedition was the first time they had ever been able to make landings all four days at Raoul Island due to perfect weather conditions -- normally they schedule four days at Raoul and are only allowed to make two zodiac landings due to ocean swells which prevent safe landings on the rock-filled shoreline.
2011 Apr by Roman Bruehwiler
To visit the Kermandecs you need about 10 days. From 7th to 16th April 2011 I joined a trip of Heritage Expeditions from Tauranga to the Kermandecs. There is only one island where you are alowed to go ashore - Roul island - the main island.
Because there is no easy access to the crater lakes (blue lake and green lake) you will not be able to swim in these lakes. But the waters around the island are clear and a good spot for divers (turtels, sharks...).

South Carolina women's basketball players and coaches insist there's nothing personal between them and Missouri.
"Coming in, everyone was like, 'Ooh, what's going to happen?' " South Carolina star A'ja Wilson said. "Everyone was sitting on the edge of their seats. ... We got the fans, we were excited. But at the same time we've got to take care of business. We've got to protect this house. This is us, this is what we do. And we treated it like any other game. It wasn't a more hyped game or anything."
But all the evidence on the court Sunday evening, which ended with a 64-54 USC win, pointed to two teams that at least don't care and, at most, strongly dislike each other. That culminated in a second-quarter scuffle just before halftime in which starters shoved each other, benches cleared and two players were ejected.
The fight, scrum, brawl or altercation — the exact word depends on who you ask — began with controversial Missouri star Sophie Cunningham and South Carolina starters Alexis Jennings and Doniyah Cliney in the middle of it, but both head coaches made their voices heard. Wilson and fellow Gamecock Tyasha Harris also got involved.
In the end, two Missouri reserves, Jordan Roundtree and Nadia Green, were ejected for leaving the bench, and Cunningham and Cliney were assessed off-setting unsportsmanlike fouls.
For USC head coach Dawn Staley, the dust-up was directly connected to the two teams' first meeting this season, a chippy 83-74 Missouri win on Jan. 7, as well as the emotional atmosphere inside Colonial Life Arena, where 13,433 screaming fans heckled the Tigers on basically every possession.
"I just think our players were on edge. They watched the film from last game," Staley said. "They just don't want to go into a game unprotected. So our first thing is just making sure everybody's OK out there on the floor, both teams. Intensity was high, but there's also players just trying to protect themselves on both sides of the ball."
Staley did not go into who she thought was responsible for the fight, and her Missouri counterpart, Robin Pingeton, also declined to assign blame, saying she would have to watch a replay first.
"Typically that stuff happens so fast. And as a coach, you're talking to your team, you're talking to your bench, and then all of a sudden, you don't have all the details," Pingeton said. "We knew there was going to be a lot of emotion, and we talk to our players all the time: Just at no point do you leave the bench. I don't know how far out they were on the court. I've got to go back and watch film and figure out exactly what happened before I really have a strong opinion on it, because I didn't see everything and the way it all fell out."
For the players out there on the court, the moment was intense, but both Wilson and Harris said they were less concerned with going after Mizzou as they were looking after their teammates.
"In that situation like that, I'm protecting my teammates. I'm going after my teammates, I'm going to be there for each and every last one of them," Wilson said. "I don't really care what the other team does. My thing is just, 'Where is my team?' "
"Mostly just protecting my teammates and trying to break up stuff and just try not to get into any more trouble," Harris added of her thoughts when the fight was happening.
Cunningham was not made available for interviews after the game, and Cliney was unavailable as she received treatment for an injury she sustained on the final play of the game.

The Salt Lake City siblings Meg & Dia teeter between alterna-rock where the guitars get turned up and sugary pop that would be right at home on the Disney Channel. The young duo knocks out a few ditties that are laced with confessional and literate word play, which, in the end, is all about young love and those pesky teen dilemmas. Meg & Dia Frampton perform at Amos' Southend with Sugarcult, The Pink Spiders, and Damone. Tickets are $15-$18, with a $2 surcharge for under 21. Doors open at 7 p.m. Details: www.amossouthend.com. (Shukla)
A protégé of Jack Johnson, Donavon Frankenreiter, got a career-lifting boost when he snagged the opening tune for the ultra-hyped flick Snakes on a Plane this past summer. The pro surfer, guitarist and singer/songwriter rides on an R&B-laden 70s influenced rock groove. His new disc, Move By Yourself, is stocked with plenty of funky retro rockers, but Frankenreiter's soulful voice keeps it from sounding dated. Opening for Gov't Mule at Neighborhood Theatre. General admission tickets are $29. Showtime: 8 p.m. Further details: 704-358-9298 or www.neighborhoodtheatre.com. (Shukla)
Thursday, November 16
Lights, camera, SMOKE SIGNALS! The 2006 Directors Guild of America award winner, Chris Eyre, will present a special screening of his 1998 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award winning film. Leave the ganja at home, different kind of smoke! Smoke Signals is considered to be one of the first major films directed by a Native American. When you finally get tired of the mundane hunting down of wild buffalo wearing only a few strategically placed feathers to experience Native American culture, swing by The Light Factory's Duke Power Theatre at 7 p.m.; 345 N. College St. Tickets are $20. Call 704-333-9755 for more info. (Adam Padgett)
It's improv with a backbone -- or at least network TV staying power -- as Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood bring their Emmy-nominated comedy partnership to Belk Theater, starting at 8 p.m. We suspect that all the prime orchestra seats have been snapped up by Whose Line Is It Anyway fans aspiring to join the stars onstage for the frolic. Colin & Brad will no doubt seek to involve everyone in the interactive merriment, one reason why a boisterous sell-out crowd is forecast. Plus no Drew Carey! Single tickets for the two-hour presentation of original scenes are $35-$45. Call 704-372-1000. (Tannenbaum)

Back in the day (like, the mid-1990s), R&B music was populated by an army of effeminate vocalists, such as Prince, El Debarge and, yes, Michael Jackson. Then, along came Guy. The trio -- consisting of Teddy Riley and brothers Damian and Aaron Hall -- boasted a more macho, man-on-the-street look and a hip-hop inspired sound (called New Jack Swing), and single-handedly made it cool for bad-boys to sing and dance. Tonight, celebrate the best of this era at the New Jack Reunion Tour featuring a performance by Guy and fellow New Jackers Blackstreet, Tony Toni Tone, and After 7. Cricket Arena, 8 p.m. (Carlton Hargro)
Heavily painted blue folk are invading the sacred ground where those orange guys with all those ups play roundball. Yes, Blue Man Group How to Be a Megastar Tour 2.0 is at Charlotte Bobcats Arena, bringing all their talent -- and crazy gadgetry -- to bear on the task of teaching us how to be rock stars. This satirical deconstruct of what goes into making "the rock concert experience" in all its narcissistic glory may have you laughing yourself silly if you don't lose your hearing first. Count on the Blue Men to get everyone involved in the happening, with heavy-metal magic and illusion in the mix. It may start at 8 p.m. at Bobcats Arena on Nov. 17. Or maybe not: it's a rock concert! Tracy Bonham opens. Tickets are $39.50-$85 at www.charlottebobcatsarena.com. (Tannenbaum)
Get a sneak peak into the approaching wine season at the 13th Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Tasting Festival. Beaujolais only holds sixteen of these events in the US and Charlotte is proud to have been recognized for its thirteenth year! Learn more about French culture and Limoges, Charlotte's sister city. Held at the Levine Museum of the New South, 200 E. 7th St, tickets are $25 for CSC/AF members and $30 for the public. Help raise money for these organizations at tonight's event from 5-8:30 p.m. More info at www.afcharlotte.org. (Maria Fisichello)
Charlotte Symphony Orchestra is letting us have it both ways. We can "take it easy" tonight at Ovens Auditorium as guest vocalist Michael Shotton headlines in Hotel California: The Music of The Eagles. Or we can take it down the road to a decidedly more radical, progressive Neighborhood Concert at Davidson College on Saturday night, entitled Russkies and Yanks. You probably can guess the desperado hits Shotton has programmed -- that's the point, isn't it? -- but brace yourself for a couple of newfangled American compositions balanced against a pair of Russian standards up at Exit 30. CSO resident conductor Alan Yamamoto unveils Jennifer Stasack's Crossing Rivers V in a world premiere (with the Davidson College Symphony) and introduces Aaron Jay Kernis' Musica celestis. Tchaikovsky's "Waltz from Swan Lake" and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Suite #2 provide the borscht. Both concerts begin at 8 p.m. Hotel CA tickets are $22-$44. General admission Saturday night at Duke Family Performance Hall is $15, just $5 for students/children. Call 704-972-2000. (Tannenbaum)

Coney Hill II 20,Sarries II 6
Sarries arrived with high hopes for this friendly, despite a much changed side than selected due to unavailability.
Deja vu was prevalent as the same official for the game had presided over last weeks fixture vs Chosen Hill. It was also the same for the way the game transpired.
A hard physical encounter as expected in which both sides bashed away at the defence to no avail…scoring opportunities were at a premium with a penalty each being the outcome of the first half.
The second half was more of the same with the Sarries forwards completely dominant in the scrums and on a par in the loose and lineout.The battle was in the backs with the Coney Hill 10 being instrumental, pinning Sarries back with positional kicks and running play,however the doggedness of the Sarries backs held out bar one bounce of the ball from one such kick pressurising Carl Stevenson to infringe whilst chasing back with the opposition winger and fullback, which the ref deemed worthy to award a penalty try…much to Stevensons dismay.
Sarries were the masters of their own undoing,the same scenario as last weeks game ensued with sarries frustration at the confusing manner in which the ref was officiating the contest leading to penalty after penalty giving hill momentum.
With a lineout in which the ref allowed Hill to yo yo players in and out, Sarries were caught napping as Hill suddenly threw the ball in and set up a driving maul to allow their impressive 8 to score.
A penalty for each side left the score at 20-6 to the home side at full time…a score line which seems to flatter the winning side as it was a very close game with Sarries finally applying pressure on the Hill line in the last 15 minutes but with no prize.
A superb scrummaging performance and decent loose play by a much juggled pack with 2 former backs in the second row and makeshift jumpers in the line-out who performed well.
The backs defended well and met a brick wall when attacking despite all efforts.much to applaud but still lots to work on…especially mental strength when dealing with officials and the way they officiate.
Highlights were the leadership skills from Damien Frieli and Junior Mcdaid, and James Connolly for becoming the shortest second row in the clubs history, and a solid performance in defence by all members of the squad.
Writers MOM is Chris Windley playing 6…..consistently a nuisance at the breakdown, good line-outs despite only just taking on the role, and tenacious in defence.

Published on July 30th, 2015 | by Nick Stillman0
Venice comes to Tacoma with Chihuly's Venetians and a killer party. OK, fine, I was impressed.
The press preview tour of Chihuly's Venetians: The George R. Stroemple Collection was my first time setting foot in the Museum of Glass. Which, as someone whose diet is 50% Le Donut, 40% 1111 beer, and 10% Tacoma Farmer's Markets, is embarrassing.
Visiting the Museum of Glass is something I've known I should do, that I needed to experience, but there was never that thing – that moment or event that convinced me my time had come. Now, I realize, it has arrived.
Can one be a Tacoman and have no appreciation for glass art? For me, it was only a matter of time.
Getting to know Dale
I strolled through the exhibit, nodding in what I hoped appeared a thoughtful and intelligent way, trying my best to appear professionally detached. I was "press" now after all, and I had worn my nicest shoes as a way to fool myself into believing it was true (my footwear and self-esteem are intrinsically linked, had I been wearing my running shoes I would have tried to leap the glittering Chihuly vases). But I was failing in my attempt to appreciate properly; the pieces looked similar to those lining the Bridge of Glass, sculptures I recently experienced as a blur on my very professional sprint to the museum. My opinion of those Venetian vases, for some time, has been: aesthetically diverse, expertly executed, beautiful, bongs. I was trying to unlearn this. I wanted to get glass art.
When curatorial assistant Katie Phelps began to describe the evolution of the vessels, showing us Dale Chihuly's first from 1989, a simple vase with putti (cherubs) lining the bottom, the idea of glass art began to take shape.
"All of these are 'hot' sculpted," said Katie, gesturing to the over thirty pieces that were all distinct, intricate, wild. "That means they are spontaneously sculpted on the spot, as a single piece." She explained what this meant, describing the process of a team working together in a race against time and heat to sculpt hot glass, and I didn't understand how human beings could have accomplished this.
"Wow," was my professional response. I meant it. I stared at that first vase and then the ones surrounding it. The evolution was striking. From composed, almost tentative simplicity in that very first piece, to compounding vivid colors, ever more wild and daring shapes, and the inclusion of more and more delicate figures. The longer I looked, the more entranced I became. I wiggled my toes in my uncomfortable shoes. I could feel myself becoming impressed and was practically bothered by the ease of conversion.
"This is the beginning: 'The Chihuly.' That American style Dale Chihuly helped produce." Katie declared.
It began, confirmed my press packet, when Chihuly received a rare fellowship to Venice in the 60s. Venice, as it turns out, knows a bit about making glass. It also has a habit of inspiring people. Very inspirational, this Venice. Chihuly returned, opened the Pilchuck School, and the beginning of the American Studio Glass Movement in the Northwest began. After a subsequent trip to Venice in 1987, Chihuly wanted to embody this Italian influence in his art. That progression – of initial inspiration in that first vase, to the evolution of the art form – is evident in this collection.
"We're a very young museum," said Kate, when I asked why now, when the pieces in this collection were older than the vases on the bridge. "This is our chance to tell our story again. To articulate that Tacoma and the Pacific Northwest are an epicenter of glass art. Explain who we are and why we're important."
And I got it; the Stroemple collection captures the essence of American glass art – it is collaborative, spontaneous, obsessive, experimental, and fun. Here was the chance to reintroduce the pieces and the art that started a movement. Here, in Tacoma.
An "epicenter," she had said! Tacoma: more than just donuts and beer.
I actually felt ashamed, ashamed of my lack of previous appreciation for my city and the role it had played and continues to play in the art world, and of my shoes, which felt suddenly un-Tacoma and pretentious. There was nothing collaborative or fun about my shoes.
Party in the epicenter of glass art
Chihuly's Venetians: The George R. Stroemple Collection, along with the neighboring exhibit Tools of the Trade, which showcases the process of glass art with interactive exhibits, will introduce you to something that should need no introduction to a Tacoman, but does anyway because some of you are as terrible as I am.
When you are surrounded by beauty, it can become tempting to mistake beauty for surroundings.
If you want to be reintroduced to a medium that can be overlooked because it is so easy to see, go to the MOG (this is the acronym I was unaware of until my press kit), visit the Hot Shop, visit Tools of the Trade, and see some of the work that created a "renaissance" (don't worry, my guide didn't laugh at this either) in Chihuly's Venetians.
The opportunity is here, the Party at the Piazza celebrating the opening of the show on August 1 will have all things Venice – and it's free. So not like Venice, exactly. Chihuly went to Venice and came back inspired. Now Venice is coming here – maybe check it out? Yeah. Definitely check it out.
Takeaway: Glass Art – more than just fancy bongs.
Here are the facts. People like facts.
What: The release of Chihuly's Venetians: The George R. Stroemple Collection, and one hell of a party involving edible glass and non-edible magicians named, aptly, Party at the Piazza.

Join Joseph Lowery for an in-depth discussion in this video Course and browser requirements, part of Creating Interactive Charts with HTML5.
To follow along with this course, the requirements are pretty straightforward. From a tools perspective, you'll just need a code editor, and a number of browsers for testing. You can use whichever code editor you prefer. I'm going to be working with Aptana on the Mac. A free editor for both Mac and Windows. Most of our browser demonstrations and testing will be done using pretty current versions of standard base browsers like Google Chrome or Firefox. As the focus in this course is on some of the most recently released technologies you probably shouldn't depend on the techniques demonstrated if your client needs to support legacy browsers like Internet Explorer 6. That's it for tools.
From a knowledge perspective you should be pretty familiar with both HTML and CSS with a general understanding of Java Script. I'll walk through any advanced Java Script we use, block by block so you can understand what's going on under the hood. Oh, and one last item. The absolute best thing you can bring to this course is your imagination. Although, I'm going to be going through all the details of applying HTML5 technologies to a specific project, you'll get the most benefit if you keep your mind open for other ways you can apply the same lessons to your own work.
- Crafting the HTML
- Initializing the stage
- Adding a legend and labels
- Drawing the bars in the bar chart
- Adding anchors for interactivity
- Connecting the feedback
- Storing user progress

Guilt-Free Blueberry Cream Cheese Gingerbread in a Jar
Serves 4 large or 8 small jars
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup reduced fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in buttermilk
1 cup fat free buttermilk
3 tablespoons light (mild) molasses
1 cup fresh blueberries, stems removed, washed and patted dry
3 tablespoons sugar for sprinkling
In a small mixing bowl mix together the flour, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl cream the cream cheese, sugar and egg together. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk (that has the baking soda dissolved in it), ending with the dry.
Stir in molasses and fold in blueberries. Spoon into jars that have been washed thoroughly and have been sprayed with non-stick spray. Sprinkle tops with the sugar. Place on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven and bake about 35 minutes or until tops spring back from the touch, and a toothpick comes out clean.
For the regular recipe: Use butter instead of cream cheese, regular buttermilk, and bake in a 9" square pan. But where is the fun in that? ;-)
And a special thanks to our lovely #SundaySupper leader Isabel from Family Foodie for hosting this week.

Yeah, there are the big national bands -- but there's also a ton of local musicians coming to this year's festival.
Alice Cooper is not only a theatrical performer on stage, he has also been featured in many Hollywood movies – can you guess how many?
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper, who will be in El Paso on June 24th headlining the Streetfest, sat down with Steve Kaplowitz in 2000 to talk sports.
The hottest day of the summer so far was pretty cool for a handful of lucky Goo Goo Dolls fans.
Neon Trees' frontman Tyler Glenn pulled out all the stops for El Paso during StreetFest 2016.
For all of you anxiously waiting on your pictures of the meet and greet with Neon Trees, here they are!
What should you take to be prepared for the fun weekend ahead? Here is your survival guide.
StreetFest 2016 is just a few days away and in the interest of convenience, fun, and safety, here's a short list of some great hotels if you decide that staying within walking distance is best for your El Paso Downtown StreetFest experience.

Kwakerjak has no fans yet.
I'm from America--Pennsylvania, to be specific. I listen to all kinds of electronic music, but I'm terrible at picking out the differences between all the subgenres, so I can't really get more detailed than that. It also means that I'm not very good at describing what my own music sounds like.

|Concluding the Literatures of the World Panel, this Q&A features Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's response to the presentations and a question from the audience.
Literatures of the World: This panel engages from different locations the question of the pedagogical limits of the concept of World Literature, both in terms of classroom practice and theoretical understandings of literary traditions across the world. It asks as well: How might the phrase "literatures of the world" (rather than the pluralizing phrase "world literatures") work toward notions of literary commons? On what terms would such commons be envisioned as most productively countering the globalizing logics and poetics that have driven "world literature"?

Owners for 2016 and 2017 model year KTM 690 Duke motorcycles should take note, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a recall on the popular hooligan machine because it may leak fuel from its filler cap on the fuel tank.
The recall affects 718 units in the United States, but in documents to NHTSA, KTM says at this time it does not have a remedy for the problem, and that such a remedy could take up to 120 days to create.
Presumably, this would then bar KTM from selling any 690 Duke models in the United States until a fix can be made.

By Carol Kostiuk
Miscarriage is a spontaneous loss of a fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy. Stats show that 25% of all pregnancies end with a miscarriage. This is reality. Miscarriage has implications of emotional aspects, loss and grieving factors as well as physiological implications such as hormonal imbalances within the body - think about it - depending on how far along you are when you miscarry, your body may be producing milk and the baby you so desperately wanted to love and nurture is suddenly gone.
My name is Carol Kostiuk - I am one of four Parish Nurses in the Saskatoon RC diocese. I feel part of my ministry encompasses awareness around miscarriages - both in the capacity of information and programming for the congregation as well as for the priests. Looking back on the stats, complete with the knowledge that a loss of a life is vitally important - no matter when it happens, gives us the momentum to move forward. Looking behind us at all the people who had nowhere to go in their time of loss, makes us stronger in our commitment to be supportive of the family that will be affected by a miscarriage and the emotional repercussions that will come to pass. We need to be available to not only the 25 % of the congregation which will experience this type of loss, but also just as importantly to support the priests with medical knowledge and info on available existing services. Remember - this does not only affect the parents who lost the baby - this also affects their family unit, friends and neighbors too. We as a church community need to be not only compassionate and empathetic but responsible in our outreach to help the healing of 25% of the people we see at our church gatherings. Some barriers may be simply not knowing what to say, where to refer people or what to recommend. Barriers are transformed by building bridges of knowledge, compassion and healing services to help both the grieving family - or the single teenage parent - who hasn't even found the courage to tell anyone they were even pregnant in the first place.
I feel it is important to let congregations know what options are a
vailable and who to talk to if they find themselves in this same situation. Bob and I did not know that an option even existed in our church community, miscarriage was simply not talked about. We dealt with it on our own, without support and with many questions about our possible future children. It would have meant so much to us, if we could have just talked to someone in our parish who had experienced a miscarriage too. I feel it is also important to encourage the priests to reach out to their parishioners by having this subject mentioned in sermons, or validated in the Book of Remembrance in November - etc. By giving voice to the idea of miscarriage ministry, people will feel more comfortable broaching the subject, or asking for a service in their time of need. A miscarriage service (and there are several available options) give a semblance of closure to this chasm of hurt and loss, which in turn helps the healing process.
Promoting prayer for grieving families in prayer circles, prayer for the babies while knitting prayer shawls or simply knowing that it is O.K. to ask a priest or PLD to say a blessing, brings healing to the reality of miscarriages.
Help our Miscarriage Awareness Committee be present for our Saskatoon parishioners by not shying away from the topic of miscarriages.
You are now aware and it is your responsibility to help others by making this subject comfortable, so healing can begin.
Thank you.
