One, two, Freddy's coming for you. Three, four better lock your door. Five, six grab your crucifix. Seven, eight gonna stay up late. Nine, ten never sleep again! That is the famous nursery rhyme from one of the best horror films of all time, A Nightmare on Elm St. The serial killer in the movie was Freddy Krueger and he was created by the very talented Wes Craven. The movie hit theaters back in 1984 and it was the most talked about horror film during the eighties. The actor that played Freddy in all seven films was Robert Englund and I have to say he is probably one of the best serial killer performers that I have ever seen. Not only is he creepy, but he is also very energetic, comical, and ruthless. This tutorial will show you "how to draw Freddy Krueger" step by step. Now Freddy was or is a character that was executed by all the parents that lived on Elm St. because he was kidnapping kids and killing them. It was never said if Krueger molested the children or not, just that he was definitely killing neighborhood children. How and where did he tale these children you ask? Well from what the movie explains Freddy would abduct children and then take them to where he worked which was a power plant. He lured the kids into the basement of the power plant and then killed them in the boiler room. He was later arrested and convicted for the murder of twenty children but some how he walked free. Almost every parent on Elm St. conspired to make Krueger pay for his crimes so what they did was set his house on fire and he and the house burned to the ground obviously killing Fred Krueger in the process. Wes Cravens creation of Freddy Krueger was brilliantly done. He made the character with a burnt scared up face, he wore a dingy brown fedora hat, his famous red and green striped sweater, and his notorious killing tool; a glove that was made by Krueger that had elongated razor sharp knives that he controlled with his fingers. His whole purpose in the movie is to get revenge on the towns people by killing off their children. Now it is said that Krueger was born to a nun named "Sister Mary Helena" or Amanda Krueger. She was rapped by one hundred maniacs and her basted child was the result of her rap. Anyways, I'm done talking about children dying and nuns being rapped, I just want to show you "how to draw Freddy Krueger step by step". Have fun ya'll and peace out. I will be back in a bit.

The decision to cancel the Halloween Horrors event at the Night Safari planned for October this year, while a difficult call to make, was made with the best interests of the park and its many visitors in mind. I recognize that the decision has drawn a passionate response. We are looking for ways to redirect that passion into activities that are more in keeping with the stated objectives of the park.
The mission of Wildlife Reserves Singapore is to inspire an appreciation of nature through exciting and meaningful wildlife experiences. Our focus is on education, conservation, family recreation and bonding within the context of a wildlife reserve experience.
On reviewing the Halloween Horrors event, it was not clear that it met these objectives. Over the past few years, the event has not contributed to a noticeable increase in visitors in the month in which it occurred. By contrast, family themed events such as the National Day celebration and Hari Raya have resulted in a significant increase in visitors to the park on peak days.
From the perspectives both of the aims of the park and the commercial realities of running a world class wildlife attraction, the prudent course of action was to cancel the event and redirect those resources to other celebrations of more local relevance. The decision was made in the very best interests of the park and its visitors and reports that imply otherwise are misleading.
WRS will honour all contractual obligations to suppliers of goods and services in connection with this event and will fully reimburse each of the 169 patrons who have purchased the 800 tickets sold.
I appreciate the efforts that have gone into preparing for the event and especially the passion and commitment displayed by the students at Singapore Polytechnic who have been involved in this project. We are exploring ways in which that passion can be directed toward activities that will provide Singaporeans and overseas visitors to the park with an experience more in keeping with the objectives of the Night Safari and more inclusive of people who seek a family evening exploring the park's many wildlife attractions.

Cross Platform PIM on a Stick
Available for memory sticks on Windows or Linux, the new release KDE-PIM/Platform independent lets you carry around your favourite KDE applications and your personal data in the palm of your hand. This device independent software can import your data directly from Outlook and sync it with KDE-PIM running on other computers.
Based on the great work of the KDE-PIM developers, KDE-PIM/Pi is available for Windows, Linux and the Zaurus PDA and includes platform independent versions of KAddressbook and KOrganizer (Screenshots).
KOrganizer/Pi (KO/Pi) is based on the embedded version 1.08 beta of KOrganizer from Cornelius Schumacher. Lutz Rogowski has added many features to suite the needs of other platforms and mobile devices. KAddressbook/Pi (KA/Pi) is a port of KAddressbook to the Zaurus and has been started by Ulf Schenk. KDE-PIM/Pi replaces the KDE libraries with a Qt-only wrapper library called "micro KDE". A precompiled "all-in-one" memory stick edition for Windows and Linux and other packages can be downloaded from the SourceForge project page. More info is available at the project homepage.
Now I *have* to take a look at microKDE. I was hacking some wrapper classes to code PyQt/PyKDE apps (apps that use KDE only if available). But if this has enough coverage (and is sufficiently KDE-like), it is reduced to a wrapping job and coding to the MicroKDE API.

Bloody amazing!
I've been waiting for this for so long. Now those of us stuck in Windows can use non-lock-in, cross-platform calendar and addressbook programs.

Great, but unfortunatly no support for synCE.
I've been kind of scared when I bought my ipaq. And yes, the reboots came (every day at least once) and of cource, no syncing. I've seen a friend sync with evolution, but I've not seen anyone sync using kde. Ive looked at kitchensync, but the last version dates from november last year. I know, I should do it myself instead of moaning, but...
Anyway, I check everytime i see an artical like this, but unfortunately....

Re: Great, but unfortunatly no support for synCE.
I've installed Linux on my iPaq, and it is stable and nice... Opie is a great environment, and PyQt makes it really easy to create apps.
But there just aren't that many apps, and none are really mature like DateBK5 or even ShadowPlan on the Palm. It's pretty, nifty, and I use my Palm instead.

May be more than cool. But deserves a cooler name!
If that thingie really works (will try it next week, on Windows), that is a really cool gem.
And as such, it would be very much deserving a really cool name too. "KDE-PIM/PI" just sucks. "pimpi" or "Pimpy" may be better, but not too much so.
But why don't we just (with the consent of the KDE-PIM/PI developers, of course), run a new contest with the help of kde-apps/kde-look webmasters? "Find a cool name for a cool app!"...
To make your braincells heat up, I'll leak some of my own submissions here: they would start with "Power Runt" and "Mity Might" and "Mighty Mite".

I have been vegan for 25 years. Working out for about 20 years, but only seriously trying to build mass for about a year or two. My questions are about number of exercises to do per body part. I really enjoy working out. When I am doing back, there is probably 9 or more exercises I like to do. My concern is I don't want to overdo it. I want to put on muscle mass, but not planning to compete. Just get bigger. I try to limit my workout to 60 - 90 minutes.
My current routine for back:
- 3 sets bodyweight overhand pull-ups
Cable or machine rows
Cable or dumbbell reverse flys or rear delt rows (any advice on one over the other?)
Bicep curls (cables or barbells or dumbells)
Cable pushdowns
Close grip neutral pullups
Lat Pull Downs
Close Grip Rows
On Chest/Tricep/Leg day, I do
- Bench Press
Tricep pushdowns
Leg press or squats
Leg curls
Leg extensions
Calf raises
On shoulder day,
- Overhead press
Lateral raises
Front raises
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Australia's Ashes campaign might have unravelled in one catastrophic session at Lord's on Friday.
To blame Australia's botched use of the Decision Review System for what happened between just before lunch and tea on day two at Lord's would be to let the batsmen off the hook. There were two bad reviews (and one bad non-review), starting with Shane Watson challenging an lbw verdict that looked unmistakably out. But awful batting contributed to the touring team being levelled for 128, Australia's lowest total at Lord's since 1968.
England did not enforce the follow on, and as ever it fell to Australia's bowlers to try to drag the team back into the Test. Peter Siddle, the bowler who never gives up, made a start - removing Alastair Cook, Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen before stumps on a day when 16 wickets tumbled.
But Australia was 264 runs behind after the second day at Lord's.
Watson's wicket was where the madness began. He and Chris Rogers were cruising towards lunch at 0-42 when he plonked his front pad down the pitch and tried to work Tim Bresnan to the leg side.
Watson gets out lbw in more than half of his dismissals against England, and gets out for scores around 30 too often. If the shot wasn't bad enough on a flat, dry pitch promising plenty of runs just before the interval, the decision to take on DRS for the second time in as many innings made it much worse.
The middle session was ridiculous; six wickets fell in all manner of strange ways.
While Watson challenged one he shouldn't have, Rogers didn't challenge one he should have. Perhaps he was mindful of that one referral had been wasted or perhaps he was just in shock at being dismissed, lbw, by a full toss that slipped out of the Graeme Swann's hand and thumped him on the belt-buckle.
He walked off shaking his head while the replay showed the ball missing leg by a long way.
Phillip Hughes used up the last challenge in the 19th over to contest a caught behind decision, without success. It was another wasted referral but more to the point another bad shot, flinging his bat away from his body to Bresnan for one.
Nor did Usman Khawaja, picked for his first Test in 19 months in an attempt to spark up the top order, make the most of being dropped at slip; instead he charged Swann and was caught at mid-off for 14.
Michael Clarke, who had preached more selective use of DRS after the narrow defeat at Trent Bridge, could not have used a referral if he wanted to, and in the end it wouldn't have helped him anyway. Resettled at No.5, the captain was pinned on the pads by a Stuart Broad yorker on 28.
The run out of Ashton Agar, who hared down the pitch but received no response from his batting partner Brad Haddin, completed the mayhem. The Australians lost 6-54 in the session, having earlier dismissed England for 361.
Ryan Harris was joined on the Lord's honours board by Swann, but the advantage gained by the Australian's hard-earned five wickets was squandered by the batsman.
As ever, it came down to the bowlers to try to haul Australia back into the game.
Clarke did not entrust James Pattinson with the new ball after his 1-95 in the first innings, instead tossing it to Watson. An edge whizzed between the Haddin and Clarke at first slip - it was that sort of day - but Siddle gave Australia something to work with when Cook and Trott both dragged deliveries onto their stumps and Pietersen reached for a wide one and was caught at point.
All were gone for single figure scores but it will take a Herculean effort from here for Australia to avoid its sixth consecutive Test defeat and a 2-nil Ashes series deficit.
Coach Darren Lehmann insisted all was not lost.
"You've always got a chance. Funny game, cricket. I've seen big total's chased down and it's certainly a good wicket. It's not a 128 wicket."
Graeme Swann, who collected his best Ashes figures of 5-44, wasn't prepared to write Australia off.
"I think it was a mixture of good bowling, a bit of outrageous fortune. It was just one of those wicket days," said Swann.
"I'm not going to count my chickens. There's three days to go. The Australians are not going to lie down and just take it. They bounced back really well with those three wickets tonight so that will have buoyed them. It will force us to regroup in the morning."

On Assignment: Don't Deny the Obvious
We give a lot of attention to light mods around here: big ones, little ones, hard ones, soft ones, umbrellas, soft boxes, grids and the like. But sometimes the best light mod is no light mod at all — especially indoors, with neutral walls.
In that environment, often the smart choice is just to stick your bare speedlights on stands and go.
This is something I used to do a lot more often as a time-pressed newspaper photographer. Not so much specifically for the quality of light. It was just, well, faster to set up and tear down.
But it is also a way to maximize the apparent size of your light source, hide your flashes when necessary and give yourself the absolute most room to work.
The First One's Free…
As most of you know, bounce flash is sort of the gateway drug to off-camera lighting. It beats the crap out of direct flash and it's easy. You start out with a ceiling or two, and pretty soon you're scoring a white wall. Next thing you know, you're zooming your flash head to make different size light sources and by then it owns you.
Bounce flash from the top of a light stand is an evolution from that. That's because your light source is not tied to your camera position, tilt or orientation. And with multiple light sources the possibilities expand even more.
For the shot above of chef José Andres, done in his home kitchen, I was tagging stills off a video project. They were the primary and I was working around them. So I wanted to be quick, easy setup and unobtrusive.
There was a glass backsplash behind him, so I could not light him from straight on at all. You'd see the light in the reflection. And I wanted light that didn't call attention to itself, too. Just give me some soft illumination and a little separation and I'd be good to go.
So that's exactly what we did. All of these light sources are ungelled, and his walls and ceiling are both white. Any time I get a white-walled room with a white ceiling I at least consider the possibility of bouncing at least one light.
My key light was an LP180, bounced up high into the wall-ceiling juncture over my left shoulder. The room sorta filled itself, given white walls on all sides.
I used two other bounced flashes (another LP180 and an SB-800) as separation lights. One was high off the wall behind José's camera-left shoulder. I guess it was pretty much a mirror image of my key light.
For a hair light I bounced the third speedlight off of the ceiling behind him. The "wall" you see in the back of the frame does not extend to the ceiling. It is more of a room divider unit with a gap between the top and the ceiling. I prefer to think of it as an expensive, custom-built gobo. It was just too convenient, and you can see how I used it in the side-view diagram above.
The hair light is subtle — just needs to separate two similar tones (hair and background) and keep them from merging. This is not, "HEYEVERYBODYLOOKATMYLIGHT" light. It's just designed to do it's job and disappear, much as I was trying to do for myself.
In fact, the takeaway from me for that day was just getting the chance to watch someone who is truly great at what he does perform in his own home kitchen. That's a neat and privileged moment, not unlike the time I photographed a soprano singing in the shower. (My fancy stereo has never sounded good since.)
Working in Haiti
I don't often intersect with high-end restaurants or world-renowned chefs. I am just as happy at a great barbecue joint in South Carolina (mustard and vinegar, not tomato).
But having met one, I'd like to think they are all as cool as the guy in the one-minute video you see above. Taking that talent and publicity and pointing it at the long-term efforts to rebuild Haiti is the kind of thing that makes chef José Andres triple aces in my book.

Changes coming to road with dangerous curve
Couple died in crash at curve on Christmas Day
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – It was a horrific crash that claimed the lives of a young St. Johns County couple. Now change is coming to the road where it happened.
Trevor and Jennifer Leonardi (pictured, below) died when their pickup truck veered off the road and into a tree at Anastasia Boulevard and Red Cox Drive on Christmas Day, investigators said.
"We try to stay focused on the fact that they're with God and they're fine," said Mike Osgood, whose stepdaughter was killed in the crash.
The Florida Department of Transportation says it's not the first fatal crash at that curve. So on Wednesday, officials began to take steps to make the road safer.
Over the years, there have been many accidents at the location.
"There's been several wrecks that have hit the station at different parts of the station," Dustin Hamilton, of the St. Augustine Fire Department, said last month.
After the crash, FDOT studied the road and found that while there weren't an alarming number of crashes, more could be done.
"We could make some improvements," said Tom Cavin, of FDOT. "We've put up some additional signs and markings to try to help make it safer for the motorists that are driving along that corridor."
FDOT's plan also calls for extra reflected bumpers, which let drivers know when they're veering off the road. Crews will also paint larger, more visible stripes on the road.
"I don't feel that there's a whole lot of changes that need to be done, but I do think that the signs and the markings will help," Cavin said.
The Leonardis' family members say it's good that changes are coming. But they feel even more can be done.
Osgood believes to make the road safer, it needs guardrails.
"I think the road itself at the curve is fairly well marked. I think most people driving down the road realize that they're coming up on a curve," Osgood said. "I think the problem is that if you happen to get distracted right then, then you're immediately going to go off the road."

On the heels of Modern's annual pallet usage reader survey and a related webcast, I had an opportunity to talk to Howe Wallace, the CEO of PalletOne.
Headquartered in Bartow, Florida, and with over $200 million a year in revenue, PalletOne is one of the largest, if not the largest, manufacturers of new pallets in the country. The company produces more than 15 million new pallets a year and operates 17 plants and four sawmills in eleven states. While its heritage is in new manufacturing, PalletOne also recycles wood pallets in selective markets.
Wallace and I had a chance to touch on a variety of topics impacting pallet users and the pallet manufacturers that supply them.
Growth of the market: Pallets are a lagging economic indicator. Companies stop using pallets after the economy has slowed because warehouses are full of product and manufacturers are no longer running their lines full tilt. Pallet usage picks up only after the economy begins moving again and those warehouses have emptied out. According to Wallace, the growth in pallet usage has been slow, steady and stable since the economy bottomed in 2009. "There has been no massive growth," Wallace says. "But we've seen a general 2-to-3% increase in pallet usage and it's been stable." Wallace adds that PalletOne's own growth has outpaced the increase in pallet usage as competitors have fallen by the wayside.
System-based approach to unit load design: In the last few months, I've written a fair amount about several leading pallet manufacturers embracing the system-based approach to unit load design developed at Virginia Tech. Count Wallace as one of the converted. PalletOne is both a believer and an investor, as one of the backers of the development of Best Load, a new unit load design software package. "We have had some success stories with customers that had an over-designed or under-designed pallet," Wallace says. "We were able to show them where they can save money and get immediate results." However, Wallace adds that it's a longer sales process and is generally successful with companies that involve a team. "You really need to have packaging, engineering and plant personnel involved along with purchasing to see the value in the approach," Wallace says.
Building a better mousetrap: Since we cover pallets and packaging, I receive a regular stream of emails from inventors and entrepreneurs who have come up with the alternative to the wooden pallet. So far, we haven't seen a product that is as versatile as the wooden pallet at a comparable price. Wallace agrees. "I try to keep an open mind and look diligently at the ideas that come across my desk," Wallace says. "So far, I haven't seen anything that changes my opinion that there will always be a place for the wooden pallet for a long while." The reason, he adds is simple. The pallet has to endure weather, racking, floor stacking and all types of modes of transportations. What's more, it's a relatively minor expense if it's lost or stolen. Most of the alternatives are either far more expensive, or only perform well in niche applications. "The game changer could be if the risk of product contamination from a pallet outweighed the cost savings from using wood," Wallace says. "If we reach the point where you can extrude plastic as cheaply as we can process wood, then plastic may be a viable alternative. But, we get better at processing wood all the time."
What keeps Wallace up at nights? "Materials, markets and manpower," was his short answer. The longer answer: "My biggest concern is whether our industry as a whole will be able to meet demand when the economy comes back," Wallace says. "I worry that without an immigration policy, we won't have enough labor to sustain sawmills and pallet plants. During the recession, we've seen a downsizing of the lumber industry and the support system for pallet makers. What I wonder is whether it will be possible to open up the mills and plants that have been shuttered during the recession."
At the same time, he adds, meeting the demands of a booming economy is a challenge most of us would welcome.

NEW YORK, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The carcass of a dolphin that died after becoming mired in a notoriously toxic New York City canal has been removed and will be sent for a necropsy, a marine research group said on Saturday.
The animal, a common dolphin, was first spotted in Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal on Friday morning, where it was described as looking disoriented and unwell as it struggled to avoid getting bogged down in the canal's muddy floor.
Biologists from the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation, who monitored the dolphin with police and a crowd of onlookers, hoped the animal might be able to free itself and head back out to the harbor as waters rose. It died Friday evening before high tide.
"The option that gave the animal the best chance for a positive outcome was waiting," Robert DiGiovanni, Riverhead's executive director and senior biologist, said on Saturday. "If an animal wasn't going to be able to survive through the next tide cycle then it was an animal that was compromised and wouldn't make it."
Approaching the dolphin by boat would have been difficult in the shallow, polluted canal and may have achieved little besides adding to the animal's distress, he said.
A necropsy will be performed on the adult dolphin, estimated to weigh about 200 pounds, on Sunday at Riverhead's laboratory on Long Island, he said. The findings and tissue samples will be shared with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Common dolphins are social animals that travel in groups known as pods. To see a solitary common dolphin, especially so far inland, is unusual, and is a sign that the animal is sick or dying, biologists and other marine officials said.
The dolphin's unusual trek into Brooklyn - DiGiovanni could not recall a dolphin coming so far into New York City in at least two decades - brought wide attention to one of the city's dirtier and most malodorous corners.
The Environmental Protection Agency declared the Gowanus Canal a Superfund site in 2010, calling it one of the country's "most extensively contaminated water bodies." Mayor Michael Bloomberg had opposed the designation, arguing the city's own plan would have cleaned the canal in less time.
The canal is laced with heavy metals, coal tar wastes and other pollutants from the factories and tanneries that have lined its banks, the EPA says.
The EPA is still working on its plan, which is currently open to public comment, to spend an estimated $300 million to $400 million of federal money to clean up the canal. (Editing by Paul Thomasch and Doina Chiacu)

On 12 July 1700, one day after the Berlin-Brandenburg Society of Scientists was founded, Leibniz was named as President of the Society. Leibniz had accepted a position from the Duke of Hanover, Johann Friedrich, of librarian and of Court Councillor at Hanover which he had taken up in December 1676. At the time the Berlin Society was founded, Leibniz was still employed in Hanover, now by Georg Ludwig who had become elector in 1698. Leibniz, as President of the Berlin-Brandenburg Society, spent some time in Berlin but he retained his position in Hanover. He was President for ten terms over the years 1700 to 1711, and this covered a total of three years.
The new Society soon set about the task of having a journal in which to publish the work of the Academy. The first volume of the Miscellanea Berolinensia appeared in 1710 and of the 61 papers printed in this volume, twelve were written by Leibniz. Of course Leibniz was a broad scholar, and these publications were certainly not all in the area of mathematics, but three of them were important mathematical contributions.
Frederick I's son Frederick William I began his reign in 1713 and his son, Frederick II, succeeded him in 1740. Frederick II was a man interested and knowledgeable about philosophy and aimed to reorganise the Berlin-Brandenburg Society of Scientists in Berlin to rival the Academy in Paris. He began to invite top people to participate in his Academy and he approached both Voltaire and Maupertuis in 1740. It was Voltaire who recommended Maupertuis to Frederick for the position of President of the Berlin Academy. In 1741 Frederick II invited Euler to join in the reorganisation of the Society into an Academy. Euler accepted, arrived in Berlin on 25 July 1741, and became Head of the Observatory of the Academy later that year. In a letter to a friend Euler wrote:-
I can do just what I wish [in my research] ... The king calls me his professor, and I think I am the happiest man in the world.By 1743 Frederick's reorganisation was complete and the Academy was given the title of Académie Royale des Sciences et Belles Lettres. The first session of the new Academy took place in January 1744 and, on 12 May 1746, Maupertuis was officially appointed as president of the Berlin Academy. Euler was appointed as Director of the Mathematics Section of the Academy and, after Maupertuis' death in 1759, Euler took charge of the Academy (although he was never given the title of President). Euler undertook an unbelievable amount of work for the Academy from the time of his initial appointment:-
... he supervised the observatory and the botanical gardens; selected the personnel; oversaw various financial matters; and, in particular, managed the publication of various calendars and geographical maps, the sale of which was a source of income for the Academy. The king also charged Euler with practical problems, such as the project in 1749 of correcting the level of the Finow Canal ... At that time he also supervised the work on pumps and pipes of the hydraulic system at Sans Souci, the royal summer residence.The book [1] includes fascinating detail of Euler's day to day life at the Academy. Of the 3000 documents from the Academy containing reports, notes, minutes of meetings, etc. summaries are given of all that mention Euler:-
... these summaries enable one to follow Euler's scientific, organisational and administrative activities between 1741 and 1766 almost day by day. As the editor explains in his preface, new light is shed by some of the documents upon important events in Euler's life: the quarrel, for instance, about Maupertuis' "Principle of least action", or the affairs which resulted in Euler's decision to leave Berlin after 25 years.Other mathematicians served the Academy over these years. Johann(III) Bernoulli was appointed to the Academy in 1764, at the age of 19, and Frederick II asked him to revive the astronomical observatory of the Academy. In the same year of 1764 Lambert was appointed to the Academy and two years later, on 6 November 1766, Lagrange succeeded Euler as Director of Mathematics at the Academy. Euler had proposed Lagrange for election to the Berlin Academy which had taken place on 2 September 1756. In 1765 Frederick II had arranged for Lagrange to be offered a position in the Berlin Academy but he had turned it down, writing:-
It seems to me that Berlin would not be at all suitable for me while M Euler is there.However, once it was known that Euler was returning to St Petersburg, Frederick II wrote again in April making a generous offer, and Lagrange finally accepted.
After the University of Berlin was founded in founded in 1809 the Academy had a less important role in the development of mathematics, as the University became a centre of mathematical research. However the Academy continued to be important for mathematics, as well as the full range of other disciplines. For example in [2] Crelle's contribution to the Academy is detailed:-
Crelle has won a permanent place in the history of mathematics for his scientific and organizational ability. He is especially important for the history of the Berlin Academy of Sciences, to which he was elected in 1827 with the strong support of Alexander von Humboldt. ... This paper is devoted primarily to the study of the recommendations Crelle wrote for prospective members of the Academy. The mathematical papers he read there, as well as the prize-problems he proposed and evaluated for the Academy, are also discussed.

If there are multiple locations in my area. Am I allowed to visit both or only one?
Is there a fee for pregistering. Does that guarantee you that you will get all of the food items before they run out…also, do you get in earlier that way or do you still have to wait in the line and take a number according to where you're standing in line?
Ruby's Pantry September 20, 2016 at 12:11 pm #
There is $1 added for card processing. Every site is run a bit differently; however, when you preregister, you pick the specific time slot that want and we ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your selected time slot. There still may be a line, but in most cases the wait is shortened for those who preregister. Yes, you should receive all of the food items.

Our 'Caps lost a very tough road match against Colorado Rapids on Saturday. They were punished for some missed chances and fell 2-0.
So what did we learn?
You must take your chances
Irwin's big save denies 'Caps scoring chance
When the Rapids scored their first goal, it came at a time when the 'Caps were having their best spell of the match.
After a slow start, Martin Rennie's team started to boss the game and created two good scoring opportunities. However, they could not make the final pass and that proved costly.
Instead, Colorado took advantage by scoring a soft goal – from the 'Caps point of view – which gave them a stranglehold on the game. Sanchez had far too much space to cross, and Brown was unmarked on the finish.
This was a game our boys could have won, so they will certainly be disappointed. Colorado goalkeeper Clint Irwin had a big game for them in net, but we created good scoring chances that are hard to come by on the road and they need to be finished.
Today was a day we did not take our chances and got punished for it, but the players can take solace in the fact that they've created quality opportunities on the road, and another day that could have meant a big win.
Mattocks is back
Mattocks breaks through, Irwin makes another big stop
This has been a tough second season for Darren Mattocks, as the goals have not flowed like last year and he has been frustrated with niggling injuries.
On Saturday, Darren had his swagger back. He looked like the confident young player we saw all of last year. When you are not full of confidence you over-think instead of reacting. This actually makes you react slower, and that is what I have seen at times from Darren this season – thinking too much.
Coming off the bench in Colorado, Mattocks caused the Rapids defence fits. He burst through every chance he had to break behind, making him a very difficult player to deal with.
Darren looked quick, strong, and full of confidence.
Camilo and Kenny have carried the load for scoring goals most of the season, but it will be huge to get Darren back to his best, which he looked like in his substitute appearance on Saturday.
Rollercoaster ride
Rennie discusses Colorado match
Eight teams are within eight points in the tight Western Conference, and at this point it looks like the playoff race could come down to the final day of the season.
Before this game, a win would have kept our boys in second place with a game in hand, and a chance to go top. But with a loss we are now in fifth place with the Sounders two points behind with two games in hand.
There are going to be many swings and roundabouts from now until the end of the season, which really does make every game like a playoff game – huge amounts of excitement, tension, drama, and glory await. A win for anyone will quickly rocket them up the table, while a loss will dent their chances of making the postseason.
Saturday's loss was a blow, but a win versus LA Galaxy at home next weekend will see our rollercoaster ride on the up.

When you hear the sound bites from George W. Bush's speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars today in which he compares his botched war in Iraq to the Vietnam war, think about what he was doing while thousands of U.S. soldiers were wounded and killed in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
Bush is in effect saying that Vietnam could have been won if only we'd stayed there longer — that winning would have only required a few tens of thousand more lives lost — other than his own, of course.
As is well known, Bush's elite status entitled him to a cushy berth in a "champagne unit" of the Texas Air National Guard. Associates from that era remember young Bush as being preoccupied with doing drugs, driving drunk and chasing women. There are rumors he seriously damaged a fighter jet while taxiing it on a runway while hungover. And there is strong circumstantial evidence he was discharged less than honorably after failing to show up for a series of Pentagon-mandated drug tests.
With that in mind, here is how Bush today, rewriting and politicizing the war he sat out:
The tragedy of Vietnam is too large to be contained in one speech. So I'm going to limit myself to one argument that has particular significance today. Then as now, people argued the real problem was America's presence and that if we would just withdraw, the killing would end…
In 1972, one antiwar senator put it this way: "What earthly difference does it make to nomadic tribes or uneducated subsistence farmers in Vietnam or Cambodia or Laos, whether they have a military dictator, a royal prince or a socialist commissar in some distant capital that they've never seen and may never heard of?" A columnist for The New York Times wrote in a similar vein in 1975, just as Cambodia and Vietnam were falling to the communists: "It's difficult to imagine," he said, "how their lives could be anything but better with the Americans gone." A headline on that story, date Phnom Penh, summed up the argument: "Indochina without Americans: For Most a Better Life."
The world would learn just how costly these misimpressions would be. In Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge began a murderous rule in which hundreds of thousands of Cambodians died by starvation and torture and execution. In Vietnam, former allies of the United States and government workers and intellectuals and businessmen were sent off to prison camps, where tens of thousands perished. Hundreds of thousands more fled the country on rickety boats, many of them going to their graves in the South China Sea.
Three decades later, there is a legitimate debate about how we got into the Vietnam War and how we left. There's no debate in my mind that the veterans from Vietnam deserve the high praise of the United States of America. (Applause.) Whatever your position is on that debate, one unmistakable legacy of Vietnam is that the price of America's withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens whose agonies would add to our vocabulary new terms like "boat people," "re-education camps," and "killing fields."
There was another price to our withdrawal from Vietnam, and we can hear it in the words of the enemy we face in today's struggle — those who came to our soil and killed thousands of citizens on September the 11th, 2001. In an interview with a Pakistani newspaper after the 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden declared that "the American people had risen against their government's war in Vietnam. And they must do the same today."
In effect, Bush is saying that Vietnam would have turned out better if only we'd stayed longer. But how much longer, Mr. Bush? Over 50,000 U.S. troops died in Vietnam. How many more lives — other than your own, of course — were worth sacrificing for a lost cause?
Unsurprisingly, Bush takes no responsibility for the fact that it was his decision, and his alone, to invade Iraq, or that it is his fault that our options there today range from awful to horrendous.
Bush wants to share the blame for this misbegotten war, particularly with Democratic senators who voted for the authorization that he demanded. But this is his war, and the horrors that may come after we leave Iraq, whenever it happens, were set in motion by George W. Bush when he decided to drive the United States into another Vietnam-like quagmire.

Abstract and Keywords
Advance care planning (ACP) is the process of determining and documenting desired wishes for the end of one's life. Referred to by such terms as end-of-life planning, advance (health) directives, and living wills, ACP is a relatively new concept within our society, having emerged as a social, political, and ethical issue in the United States only since the 1960s. Researchers and legislators have been challenged in their efforts to examine healthcare decision-making and design appropriate policy to guide practice. This article will define ACP, provide an overview of the history and evolution of the process and the associated legal and ethical issues, and describe the process with three specific populations. In addition, it examines the role of the social work profession in working with individuals and families on planning for the end of one's life.
Keywords: End-of-life planning, advance directive, living will, healthcare decision-making

Q: I don't know if I have chara or another weed. How do I tell?
Dan – W Jefferson, OH
A: Though it resembles a pond weed, chara—also called muskgrass or skunkweed—is actually a type of bottom-growing algae that can efficiently take over your pond or lake.
Can't tell the difference between the two? Here are some tips to help identify and treat the chara.
IDing Chara
Pull out some of the plant in question and take a close look at it. Does it have these characteristics?
- No Roots: Unlike pond weeds with traditional leaves and well-established root systems, chara is a gray-green branched multicellular algae that lacks flowers, true leaves and roots. Instead, it has six to 16 leaf-like branchlets that grow in spirals around the stem.
- Distinct Odor: Next, smell it. Does it have a skunky, musty, garlicky-type smell? If so, it's probably chara. Simply walking close to or around your pond will tell you right away if you have a chara problem, particularly late in the pond season.
- Crunchy Texture: When you rub the plant between your fingers, what does it feel like? Chara has a crunchy or gritty-type texture that's different than pond weeds.
- Quickly Disintegrates: Finally, when you leave it on the dock, what happens to it after a few hours? If it almost disintegrates after a few hours, you've got chara.
Treating Chara
Once you determine it's chara and not a pond weed, you'll need to treat it with an algaecide rather than an herbicide. We prefer to use Pond Logic® Algae Defense® Algaecide, a fast-acting liquid formula, but use Cutrine®-Plus Granular as for chara growing in water deeper than 3 feet.
About two weeks after treating the chara, we suggest to use a Pond Rake to rake out as much as you can Doing this will help you gain control relatively quickly. (Important tip: Do not rake out chara before treating it because it will spread).
Pond Talk: What kinds of problems do you have with pond weeds or algae?

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 118 diseños de 37 diseñadores freelance.
Contest Mission: Create a new logo for RabbitHoles Inc. to reflect the amazement, magic and/or mystery that many people feel when they see our client's products: holographic (3-D with embedded video or animation) posters or collectibles for movies, unique limited edition artwork and more. IMPORTANT UPDATE - (March 30) in the Details, and also see client's general comments in the comments section below.
Desired Style:
Corporate, but fun
Target audiences (among others): Hollywood, art collectors, Visual Media companies etc
Accepted File Formats:
EPS, Vector files
The Company's holograms or "RabbitHoles" can depict any image or combination of images, limited only by the creativity and imagination of the creator. Posters with embedded video or animation engage the viewer in an interactive experience because the visual movement in any poster perceived by the viewer is based on the viewer's angle of vision. When the viewer moves laterally the 3-D image changes!
FINAL UPDATE - MARCH 30th, 2007
"My client would like to add an additional $100 'runner-up' prize to enrich the contest, and to acknowledge its tardiness in commenting on individual contributions.
The broad feedback from the client is that they were impressed overall with the strong type treatment found in most of the entries. For that and other reasons, they would like EFFORTS REDIRECTED towards the following objectives:
- Creating a strong Rabbitholes 'wordmark' rather than a logo
- The choice and selection of type should be to convey the strength and the power of 'rabbithole' holograms which the client now feels is a central attribute of its brand
- in other words while the word 'rabbit' may be contained in the name, the client would rather not see it applied to the wordmark because of its 'warm and fuzzy implications'.
-the only graphical image other than type could be a kind of a stylized concentric swirl, kaleidoscope, or perhaps something akin to the infamous 'op art' swirl in a circle from the old psychedelic days of the sixties ("you weren't there, maan!"); this would help convey a holograms' wonder and mystery
-the swirl could range from interpretative, as per the familiar the single swirling mini-tornado of the Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil, to the something more literal.
-the text treatment conveying power and strength should not be overbearing, intimidating, or threatening; instead is should instill confidence and respect (I wont go as far as to say 'awe')
-the swirl or circle can be tested as embedded in the wordmark somehow, or appended to it
-it should be kept in mind that the swirl or circle (or anything else you might suggest that is comparable) be not overly complicated as it will be reduced for us in business cards etc., although if you care to illustrate both a more detailed large format version and an a smaller version, please feel free to tdo so
-the text treatment could be tested with the name 'rabbitholes' shown as two words (Rabbit Holes), or one word with the 'h' in RabbitHoles in caps, or all in lower, or in upper and lower, or all in upper (though the client thought that 'all upper' might inherently suggest the imperative or be more difficult to read'; that said, they do not want to limit your imaginations any further than that specifications already do)
-finally to summarize: the characteristics of the wordmark should be clean, readable, not confusing, aesthetically pleasing, and if possible convey the key brand attributes of its strength and power in additional to the wonder and possibilities contained in on rabbitholes' hologram.
With that , good luck to our future winner and runner-up!
The company name may evoke images from 'Alice in Wonderland'
The logo will be used in both Print, Stationery & Web
The desired look and feel:
Corporate, but fun.
Target audiences (among others): Hollywood, art collectors, Visual Media companies etc.
Contest runs for until April 5th, 5 pm EST (unless extended). Winner to be announced shortly thereafter.
By submitting a logo to the competition you declare you are the original author of the artwork. Accepting the award, you transfer exclusive copyright for the logo to us, the contest holder, by a signed statement.

Earlier this afternoon, Jay Glazer passed along news about a Cleveland Browns employee's apparent suicide at a team facility on the same day Javon Belcher took his girlfriend's life before taking his own—also at his team's facility.
Since then, it's been discovered that Eric Eucker, a 30-year-old groundskeeper for the Cleveland Browns, was found dead at the team's facility Saturday morning. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner office confirmed that they were called to the Browns facility Saturday when a body was found hanging in an equipment shed.
The Browns released a short statement earlier in the day.
"This is a terrible tragedy and our heartfelt condolences go out to Eric's family. Eric was a good friend and colleague, and an outstanding employee. He will be missed by everyone in the Cleveland Browns organization[.]"

SMOS launch nearing: Media Day at ESA/ESRIN
ESA PR 25-2009. On Wednesday 21 October, media representatives will have the opportunity to attend an in-depth briefing at ESA's ESRIN establishment in Frascati near Rome on the upcoming mission of SMOS, ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity satellite scheduled for a Rockot launch from Plesetsk, Russia on 2 November at 02:50 CET.
ESA's Director of Earth Observation Programmes Volker Liebig, together with other European experts from participating space agencies and industry, will present the SMOS mission and its scientific objectives and will be available for interviews.
Following the successful launch of GOCE on 17 March, SMOS will be the European Space Agency's second Earth Explorer satellite under its Living Planet Programme to go into orbit. After the successful launch in 2002 of Envisat, the largest Earth observation satellite ever built, ESA started developing the Earth Explorer series of missions to provide a moderate-cost, fast response to important scientific challenges using cutting-edge technologies.
SMOS will primarily observe soil moisture over the Earth's landmasses and salinity over the oceans. Soil-moisture data are urgently required for hydrological studies; ocean-salinity data are vital for improving our understanding of ocean circulation patterns. Data from SMOS will lead to a better understanding of the Earth's water cycle and to better weather and extreme-event forecasting and will contribute to seasonal-climate forecasting. As a secondary objective, SMOS will also provide observations over snow and ice regions, contributing to study of the cryosphere.
One innovative feature of this mission is that it will demonstrate a new measuring technique adopting a completely different approach to observing the Earth from space. The truly novel MIRAS payload instrument which has been developed is capable of observing both soil moisture and ocean salinity by capturing images of microwave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface around a frequency of 1.4 GHz (L-band). SMOS will carry the first ever polar-orbiting, space-borne, 2D interferometric radiometer.
The programme for the SMOS Media Day on 21 October at ESA/ESRIN will run as follows:
09:00 – 11:00 Transfer from Rome airports (Fiumicino, Ciampino) to ESA/ESRIN
10:00 – 11:00 Registration
11:00 ESA's Earth Observation Programmes (including update on GOCE and ESA's Climate Change Initiative) Volker Liebig, Director of Earth Observation Programmes, ESA
11:15 The SMOS mission Susanne Mecklenburg, SMOS Mission Manager, ESA
11:25 The French role in SMOS François Bermudo, SMOS Project Manager, CNES
11:35 The Spanish role in SMOS Jorge Lomba, Head of the ESA Programmes Department, CDTI
11:45 The scientific objectives of SMOS Matthias Drusch, SMOS Mission Scientist, ESA
11:55 Latest update on SMOS launch preparations in Plesetsk Achim Hahne, SMOS Project Manager, ESA
12:15 Question & Answer session
12:45 – 14:00 Individual interview opportunities
12:45 – 14:00 Buffet lunch
14:00 End of event Transfer to Rome airports

Put some personality into those themed Christmas trees
The arrival of the holidays tends to be the push I need to complete the last of the year's yard and garden tidying, namely because the very first decoration to go up is a pint-sized themed tree for the front porch.
One year, it was a cupcake tree. Another year, the little porch tree sported a tippling theme complete with DIY matchbook ornaments (from back when bars still bothered to provide branded matchbooks.)
This year, it's peace signs.

- A very, very important petition - You should sign it. I did!

Union boss John Setka allegedly threatened to bury a concreter's head "next to Ned Kelly's" unless the man was kicked off the old Pentridge prison work site, a royal commission has heard.
Melbourne developer Leigh Chiavaroli has alleged that Mr Setka - of the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union - told him that he hated concreter Paul Costa, who was a subcontractor at the Coburg building site, because he was a brother-in-law of developer Daniel Grollo.
Mr Setka threatened in a phone call to "come down there [and] rip his head off", the commission was told.
The testimony was among a series of damning recordings and sworn witness statements alleging threats and standover tactics used in the union's campaign to control the Pentridge building site. Allegations have also implicated the union in links to underworld associates turned "union fixers" at the site.
The site was largely non-union until a worker was crushed and killed in October 2009. After the death, the CFMEU mounted a campaign to unionise and control the $800-million project's site.
With cross-examination of the witnesses' allegations not due to take place for weeks, CFMEU secretary Dave Noonan said it was unfair that the claims were being heard unchallenged during the commission hearing. He said the union's involvement in the Pentridge site was due to serious safety fears for the workforce.
"A worker lost his life on the Pentridge site. You would like to think a royal commission might show a bit of concern about those sort of things, but what we will see today is a rehash of discredited and tired allegations that can't be tested by cross-examination," Mr Noonan said. "We are dealing with the dregs of the building industry. When you look at these property developers, these are people who have conducted unsafe sites."
Mr Chiavaroli said Mr Setka demanded that the developers employ his friend Anton Sucic and brother-in-law Ivan Dadic as safety officers, or else the CFMEU would shut the site down. He said both men were "hardly ever" on site and overstated the hours they worked.
A recording of a phone call between the CFMEU's Gerard Benstead and Mr Chiavaroli after a worker had lodged a complaint to the federal building industry watchdog was aired during the hearing.
"Don't go talking the ABCC [Australian Building and Construction Commission]. You go running to the ABCC, forget about it ... that will be the worst move you'll ever make," Mr Benstead said in the recording.
"Everything works on a bit for youse and a bit for us. Forget about the law, all right? I give you a bit, you give me a bit, right?"
Mr Chiavaroli said there were two or three union-related problems on the site each week, including work stoppages.
His father Peter Chiavaroli gave evidence that he was told by industrial consultant Ken Hardy he could pay Melbourne gangland identity Mick Gatto $50,000 each time he wanted a problem with the union fixed.
In further allegations of bullying and intimidation, Melbourne builder Andrew Zaf said in a sworn witness statement that he provided a free roof to Mr Setka during the 1990s as a bribe to avoid workplace problems on a building site in Sunshine that the CFMEU was plaguing with work stoppages.
"Things went on a lot better for a while and you could notice the difference," Mr Zaf told the hearing.
"He asked, he got. If he didn't get what he wanted, there was trouble for me."
Mr Setka has previously rejected the claim as a "blatant lie", saying he had purchased roofing products from a business connected to Mr Zaf at trade prices.
The commission's Melbourne hearing will resume on Wednesday.

Field Technician, Alpine Marmot Project
How will marmots fare as climate change reshapes the French Alps? And what can they tell us about how humans will fare?
I've always been particularly interested in ecology and alpine biodiversity, which is why I earned my master's degree in biology, ecology, and the environment. Marmots in particular are very endearing animals, and are fascinating to observe and study. I'm also passionate about wildlife photography, so photographing marmots is especially enjoyable because they have such funny attitudes and are easy to approach.
Being out in the field is the best part of the research experience, and the La Grande Sassière Nature Reserve landscpae, where the expedition takes place, is absolutely astonishing! All of the elements come together to create great working conditions. Generally speaking, fieldwork gives me a concrete vision of the study and issues we are looking at critically.
Before studying marmots, I also worked on the management of grasslands to favor butterfly species, as well as the evaluation of the impact of artificial night lighting and feral cat populations on marine birds. Recently, I have done field research in New Caledonia.

Mr. Speaker, we have to recognize that this project was initiated in 1997 by the previous Liberal government. We entered into discussions regarding the F-35 with all our allies to look at what would be the next operational vehicle for our air force. We know we have to supply our men and women in uniform with the best materials they need to go into the situations we ask them to do to protect Canadians.
While no contract has been signed to this point, we continue to look at what we can do to best acquire the vehicles and supplies for our military. We will continue to do so, working in conjunction with all our global partners.

I sold my touch stream after fingerworks sold out and I have been waiting for the reincarnation ever since. I purchased the iPad and I know now that the wait is almost over. The app store already contains a number of keyboard / touchpad apps to communicate with macs and PCs. Some of the apps even support simple gestures. There are already custom keyboard apps for use with sketch-up and Photoshop. It's only a matter of time before someone decides to make a fully functional multitouch keyboard app. I hope that whoever develops this app has a firm understanding of the system that fingerworks developed.
If we pull together a section of links in this thread that easily show how GOOD multitouch has been and could be again, we may be able to attract a developer to emulate the touchstream for the iPad. Can you imagine a touchstream with a graphic response to your gestures? The keys may ripple like Fluid during a gesture.. Any thoughts?

Silicon Valley CEOs, elected officials and 49ers were among those who came to San Jose for the opening of Vernon Davis' Gallery 85 on Monday night in an evening of art and charitable fundraising.
The 49er's tight-end hosted the Santana Row, invite-only event where he sold art to benefit his namesake organization, The Vernon Davis Foundation for the Arts. Organizers said they sold everything available for the fundraiser and exceeded capacity with more than 250 people in attendance.
Davis started the night off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony where he stood beside teammate and 49ers quarterback Alex Smith. He was joined by teammates Alex Smith, Aldon Smith and 49er owner Jed York.
Exhibits included artwork of recent foundation scholar Niyjale Cummings, as well as Davis' own portrait of 49ers' defensive tackle Justin Smith.
The art foundation's profit will go toward Davis' foundation, according to a statement, which he created to provide art education to at-risk youth and give scholarships to college art students.
According to Yahoo! Sports, Davis grew up in a harsh inner city where he feared the pressure and judgment for loving art.
"I figured that if I took up art classes, people would look at me differently," Davis recently told Yahoo! Sports. "I wanted to be cool, and I didn't know how to adapt at the time. It's sad, but that's just the way it was."
A fitting location, Santana Row's affluent community is expected to be a successful location for high rolling donors.
NBC Bay Area has been following Davis' artistic endeavors for the past several years. Here's an archive video of him showing us his artwork:

Launch date confirmed for PromISSe mission to Space Station
(PhysOrg.com) -- ESAs next mission to the International Space Station will be launched on 21 December: André Kuipers will ride into orbit aboard the Soyuz TMA-03M spacecraft as a member of the orbital outposts Expedition 30.
Originally planned for late November, the launch was put on hold in August after the launch mishap of Russias Progress 44 unmanned freighter.
With the successful ascent of Progress 45 on 30 October, a series of flight readiness meetings and the identification of the root cause for the loss of the previous vehicle, the Soyuz rockets are again cleared to carry out human missions.
The Soyuz launchers have a track record of reliability and the accident was deemed to be a one-off: a blocked fuel duct caused the third stage to shut down prematurely 325 seconds after liftoff.
Return to normal operations
The next flight will take place on 14 November when three Expedition 29/30 crewmembers are propelled to the orbital outpost aboard Soyuz TMA-22.
NASA astronaut Dan Burbank and Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoli Ivanishin will dock with the Station two days later.
The current crew, Sergey Volkov from Russia, Satoshi Furukawa from Japan and Michael Fossum from the USA, will return to Earth on 21 November, leaving the others to begin Expedition 30.
The Space Station will have a full crew of six again on 23 December, when the Expedition 30/31 crew arrives.
In addition to ESAs André Kuipers, the crew includes cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko and astronaut Don Pettit. André and his crewmates will stay in space until mid-May 2012.
Andrés PromISSe
During his 5-month PromISSe mission, André will conduct more than 20 ESA experiments and around 15 from other Station partners, including human research, life sciences, physics, materials science, radiation research and technology demonstrations
His mission also features a strong educational aspect centred on the theme Spaceship Earth.
The lessons from space will educate children in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, as well as teaching about the requirements for life on Earth.
As part of Mission-X: Train Like an Astronaut, André will invite thousands of students to perform physical exercises and classroom lessons to compete with teams around the world to become as fit as astronauts.

Crack Dealer Gets Married Right After Hearing on Drug Charges
What better time to get married than when you're standing in front of a judge, handcuffed and in a jumpsuit, for a motions hearing on crack charges? That's what Franklin Barndt did on Friday when he married girlfriend Takesha Piazza.
Franklin Barndt was arrested in December after police found 20 grams of crack in his apartment in Northampton County, Pennsylvania and he is charged with intent to distribute. So when he went before Judge Leonard Zito on Friday for a motions hearing in the case, he had his defense attorney, Gary Asteak arrange a quick wedding. "Love can't wait. Love is immediate and demanding," Asteak told The Express Times.
The motions hearing was handled first, then Judge Zito performed the nuptials. Nasty old Assistant District Attorney Michele Kluk didn't want the couple to seal their vows with a kiss, but the pair did "despite my objection." The bride told the paper she can't wait for Barndt to get out of jail so they can go on a honeymoon, and "I am extremely happy. It turned out to be the best day of my life. I can't wait for him to come home." With Barndt awaiting trial on crack distribution charges, she'll probably be waiting for a long time. Congrats you two!

The below synopsis comes from the children's book Play-Cation!, which is based on the upcoming short:
Bonnie is off to Hawaii, and Barbie and Ken are excited to go along on their first tropical vacation! But when they're accidentally left behind, it's up to Buzz, Woody, and the rest of the toys to create a Hawaiian paradise right in Bonnie's room.
Based on the latest animated short featuring the toys from Disney/Pixar Toy Story, this full-color storybook includes punch-out postcards that girls and boys ages 3-7 will love sending to their friends!

Three black bear cubs were rescued from a dumpster in Ruidoso, New Mexico, by local residents Shirley and Tom Schenk. The couple heard the bears crying through the night and came to their rescue as soon as there was enough light, armed with a ladder and a pickup truck. Apparently, these bears are notorious for their mischievous conduct.
