Released: 1/13/2015
Stars: 6/7
The first studio album, Everything's Coming Up Roses by the Alt Rock duo from our neighbors to the North, Night Terrors of 1927, was released earlier this week shortly following recent EP releases in 2014. This album combines two of the main EPs released by the duo, the Guilty Pleasures EP and Anything to Anyone EP, along with newly written songs and duos with the likes of alternative rockers Tegan & Sara. Longtime cult followers of Night Terrors of 1927 have been waiting close to three years for this album, and with their continued support the duo finally released it to start off the New Year.
This Canadian duo is the birth child of singer Jarrod Gorbel, former front man of the Honorary Title, and Blake Sennetto of the band Rilo Kiley embarking on journey to experiment with their music. Back in 2013, the duo had released their first EP, the Guilty Pleasures EP, with the hit "Dust and Bones" leading the way to underground success. They were then signed to Atlantic Records and toured with another alternative duo Capital Cities all while building up a loyal fan base. This underground success along with a large social media following led the band to announce their first full length project, Everything's Coming Up Roses, in early 2014. Personally I had heard "Dust and Bones" a couple years ago while on a road trip, and knew this band was going to be something special instantly.
This album leads with the underground hit, "Dust and Bones" and never lets up. To start off with such a memorable song seems a little risky but it is just one highlight in an album filled with high notes and risks that seem to pay off. Gorbel's vocals remind me of a young David Gahan, the Depeche Mode front man, with the way his voice is able to resonate over the rhythm and create an ominous tone in an otherwise cheerful song. There is something so hauntingly beautiful about Gorbel's voice. Songs created to have an upbeat mood still have an edge created by his ability to exhume emotion in his singing.
New Wave beats, simplistic guitar riffs, and beautiful harmonies compile most of this album while songs like "When You Were Mine (feat. Tegan & Sara)" stand out as refreshingly different. Tegan & Sara are able to provide the other perspective throughout the song, and prove how dynamic the lyrical content can be. "The hottest love has the coldest end." These two contrasting ideas fit perfectly with the album's tendencies to go from upbeat and optimistic to loathing and regretful.
Overall, the Night Terrors of 1927 have much to look forward to in this upcoming year with performances at Coachella Music Festival, headlining for Bleachers on a countrywide tour, and upcoming debuts on late night with Jimmy Kimmel. They are starting this year off strong with their debut album and hopefully they can ride this momentum to continued success, which I look forward tracking the whole way through. This album definitely earns a listen through for Alt Rock junkies, and anyone looking for something to belt out to.
Favorite tracks:
"Dust and Bones"- Easily my favorite song on the album. Comes together quite beautifully.
"When You Were Mine (feat. Tegan & Sara)" – Both duos contrast off of each other with magnificent results.
"Novocaine" – One song that stands out from its dark undertones and haunting vocals.
"Always Take You Back" – A beautiful love song that tells the story of someone destroyed by a past relationship. We all can relate.

On the Wednesday's episode of Bravo's Top Chef Masters, the cast of Days of Our Lives will be on hand to judge the Chefs in a special challenge.
The challenge is dramatic – as the Chefs are tasked with making a meal that represents one of the three basic staples of a soap opera – Sex, Greed and Murder. Will the Chefs nail their roles? Guest stars include DAYS favorites: Galen Gering, Arianne Zucker, Shawn Christian, Camila Banus, Drake Hogestyn, Deidre Hall, Peggy McCay, James Reynolds and Bryan Dattilo. So make sure to tune in August 9th at 19PMEST/PST for all the drama in the kitchen action!
Bravo's Top Chef Masters returned for a fifth season with 13 new award-winning chefs ready to compete for bragging rights, the title of 'Top Chef Master' and $100,000 for their charity. In a new twist this season, each Master will have his or her sous chef compete in an online competition, "Battle of the Sous Chefs," hosted by Hugh Acheson and presented by Lexus. The results of each online episode directly impacts the Masters, awarding them advantages, such as immunity (the winner of each battle earns the Top Chef Master immunity), and sometimes, disadvantages, depending on their sous chef's performance (the chefs who perform the worst always earn obstacles for their Top Chef Master). Every episode of "Battle of the Sous Chefs" leads up to the next episode of Top Chef Masters, and explores the uniquely interdependent relationship between a Master chef and his or her sous chef.
Will you be checking out the DAYS star on Top Chef Masters? Let us know!

I am writing in the hope that someone like me have to face the same problem:

This would not surprise me in the slightest. Probably won't hear anything more, though, for a good two to three years.
Making money and being good are two different things. The Twilight series make money and those are utter ****. Heck, Bourne Legacy made a ton of money even though it was absolute garbage.
Hmmm i can just picture a KH game with SW and Hasbro worlds like Transformers and MLP worlds
At this point, i wouldn't be surprised if Disney bought Nintendo next. Then, maybe we'll see a proper Mario movie, or an appearance by Mario characters in a possible 'Wreck-It-Ralph' sequel, but i seriously doubt that Nintendo would be willing to work with Disney again after their Hollywood Pictures division tried to make a Mario movie the last time. :hmshift:
Ironically, if Disney actually bought Hasbro, then they would own both 'Transformers', and 'G.I. Joe'. and even more ironic, the classic shows from the 80's were co-produced by Marvel Productions back in the 80's, and Marvel use to publish 'Transformers', and 'G.I Joe' comics.
I'm starting to worry Disney is going to explode like the python that tried to eat an alligator.
According to tfw2005 (which incidentally is where I also first saw this story), this rumor was debunked yesterday.
I am so glad that it is false. I can't see Disney controlling the current My Little Pony series (they would make Rainbow Dash girly and have all of the ponies talk about boys and junk).
I read recently that Disney got permission to use Mario in the Wreck-It Ralph, but they couldn't come up with a clever way to use him without it looking forced. They didn't want him to be in there just to be in there. They hope to use him in the sequel.

Kristen Landon's book, THE LIMIT, hit bookstores this week. This dystopian thriller is a gripping read, and the premise is very timely. Kristen dropped by the virtual offices to discuss her book and share a little bit about herself.
Describe yourself in 140 characters or less:
I'm a hardworking wife and mother who loves to have fun. I live in Utah and enjoy getting up into our beautiful mountains to hike, kayak and picnic.
Can you tell us a little about your book, THE LIMIT?
THE LIMIT is a dystopian thriller about a world that is just a step away from our own. In this society, if a family goes over their government imposed debt limit, one of their children can be taken away to a workhouse. Thirteen- year-old Matt and his family are not worried about going over their limit. They see themselves as financially stable . . . until one seemingly innocent shopping trip puts them over. Matt is snatched away and taken to a workhouse that is different from anything he ever imagined. Since he is extremely intelligent he is assigned to live and work on the luxurious top floor, where life is quite enjoyable. Before long he uncovers corruption and danger, which he and his workhouse friends must battle and overcome.
How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
Several years ago I heard a discussion on a talk show about debt. One line really stuck with me. It was something to the effect of, "Parents who amass large amounts of debt are mortgaging their children's futures." The idea grew and morphed in my mind until it became the basic premise of the novel—children being taken, locked away and made responsible for their parents' debt.
I didn't want too many characters overcrowding the book, and I needed those kids to be valuable to the workhouse—so they wouldn't want them to leave. That's how I came up with the super-smart Top Floors. I tried to add some variety to my cast of 'smart kids'. I have some that are close to the typical smart kid stereotype—but I added some interesting and a bit unusual characters to the mix as well.
What have you learned about yourself through your characters?
I've learned that it's okay—and best—to be yourself and rely on your own strengths. I've also strengthened my belief in the importance of practicing delayed gratification.
Is there a message you want your readers to come away with after reading the book?
First and foremost—I want them to come away thinking THE LIMIT is an exciting and interesting book to read!
Beyond that, it would be great if readers could gain a little bit better understanding about the trap debt can turn out to be and recognize the difference between delayed gratification and instant gratification and understand their consequences.
What was the most challenging aspect of writing THE LIMIT?
Although THE LIMIT seems to be set in a world that is almost exactly like our own—it isn't. I had to make sure the details and rules of this new world were consistent and believable. My writing would often slip into our own world, and I'd have to force myself to get back into the world of THE LIMIT.
Why do you think dystopian novels are so appealing to readers?
I think these novels are so appealing because dystopian worlds are so close to our own. We can almost touch them. We readily believe in these worlds because we can relate so well to them. It's also scary. We can see how easy it could be for our society to slip into the frightening one we're reading about. Readers—including me—love to be scared from the safe distance of our living room sofas with a book in our hands.
Describe a typical day in your life.
I wake up around 6:00 AM. I do about an hour of cardio exercise and 40 minutes of strength training. While I'm working out, I'm also making sure my kids are doing their chores, getting ready and out the door for school. The youngest is nine, so they're pretty much self-sufficient. I'm quite a religious person, so I also get in about half an hour of scripture study. After I eat breakfast and check email, I dedicate the next hour or two to writing. In the afternoon I run errands, trying to make it back home before the kids get there. I do have to do a little house cleaning each day and for some reason my family likes to eat dinner every night so I usually make that. There's always something else going on, soccer practice, dance class, piano lessons, school meetings. If I'm lucky I'll get some time in the evening to read.
If you had to pick one book that turned you on to reading what would it be?
Just one? I remember loving to listen to my second grade teacher read aloud the Henry Huggins books by Beverly Cleary. The one book that sticks out to me from my childhood—that made me say WOW—would be From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg.
What do you do when you aren't writing?
Trying to be a great wife to my husband and a great mom to my four kids!

The Democrats are masters of political language, and as you may have noticed, they just won. Basically, they have two tricks. They concoct a simple negative label for anything they want to defeat and then relentlessly shriek it in unison. You know the drill: "racist," "homophobe," "bigot," "right-wing lunatic," etc.
Then, they sanctify with positive language whatever lunacy they're in the mood to shove down our throats today. Consider the irrefutable beatific glow of "economic justice" and "social justice." Once something is defined as "justice," you're automatically the bad guy for resisting. What's wrong with you? Don't you want justice?
Thus, tomorrow if we all wake up and discover that Democrats are now demanding that squirrels be allowed to vote in the name of animal justice, you can be sure that in a few years time, squirrels will be voting. After several thousand screeching editorials, marches, rallies, rap songs, videos and Oscar-winning movies starring Tom Hanks as Bushy-tailed Ben, we'll all agree that animal justice is the next great frontier in civil rights and go nuts for squirrels.
So what can we do about it? Now that the regime is firmly entrenched and we've all been downgraded from citizens to dissidents, one of the few weapons that we may have left is our language. How about if we try using it and give them a taste of their own nasty medicine?
To start, my modest proposal is that we rebrand the Democratic Party as the Destructive Party. As you're about to see, this simple device is remarkably effective at changing the dynamics of a conversation. Immediately, the Destructive Party member is put on confused defense while you look benign and wise. Intrigued? Watch how it's done.
DESTRUCTIVE: Well, I guess Rush Limbaugh and all the other right-wing loonies were wrong. Obama crushed Romney just like we said.
YOU: Yeah, you're right. That was a brilliant victory for the Destructive Party.
DESTRUCTIVE: Limbaugh is eating dirt today!…Wait…The what party?
YOU: The Destructive Party. You know. The one that always destroys the economy. As soon as Obama won, the stock market crashed 400 points and 35,000 people were laid off.
DESTRUCTIVE: Come on. That had nothing to do with Obama winning. That's just a few rich employers trying to squeeze more profits by punishing their poor workers.
YOU: Well, that's what the Destructive Party always says, so that's why they always destroy the economy – and a lot of people's lives, too. Great going, Destructives!
Let's try another topic and see how it goes. Here you inject it into the conversation with a known Destructive, in order to mimic the Destructives' policy of politicizing everything.
DESTRUCTIVE: I've decided to put off knee surgery till after my sister's wedding.
YOU: Big mistake. Call your doctor right now and get the surgery on the books.
DESTRUCTIVE: You really think so? What's the hurry?
YOU: Obama and the Destructive Party won! That means ObamaCare is coming and they're about to destroy the best medical care system on the planet.
DESTRUCTIVE: No, they're not. They're not destroying anything; they're giving poor people access to care.
YOU: Then how come 45% of doctors say they're quitting or retiring early? I'm telling you, the Destructives won and they're about to destroy your knee, if you don't move quick. Get a surgeon while there's still a surgeon to get.
And now let's try something really tricky, attempting this gambit with a hot-button social issue.
DESTRUCTIVE: Lucy called from college and she said the kids were celebrating like crazy 'cause gay marriage passed. Isn't it wonderful?
YOU: Well, it's wonderful for Obama and the Destructive Party. It's fabulous for them.
DESTRUCTIVE: The Destructive Party? What on earth are you talking about?
YOU: Hey, didn't you see that Obama got elected by all those millions of single women? And that 43 percent of babies are born to single mothers now, and all those mothers vote for the Destructive Party?
DESTRUCTIVE: So? The Democrats are compassionate.
YOU: The Democrats are destroyers of families, because that means votes for them. Now gay marriage is one more way to destroy families. And Lucy won't think that's so compassionate when she wants to get married and start a family, and nobody's doing families anymore.
Do you see where I'm going with this? We have a simple, single message: Democrats are destructive. They destroy things. Lives, economies, families, health. Our message has the incomparable advantage of being true, while their messages are putrid lies.
The unavoidable fact is that Americans have now voted for tyranny. Millions of us are not ready to submit, but neither are we ready to go on tax strike and get hauled off to jail or to swarm onto the streets and playact revolution.
But maybe we can do what they've done to us for so many years and tactically deploy language against them. It's not comfortable for most of us to aggressively maneuver conversations, but nothing is going to be comfortable now.
And, in the words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who's one of those Soviet dissident writers I suddenly find myself fascinated to read, "If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?"

George Clooney is urging fans to stop speculating about a possible engagement to girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis – the actor is adamant he will never marry his long term lover because he would be a "lousy husband."
The Hollywood heart-throb was recently rumored to have proposed to the Italian beauty, but a representative for the star dismissed the reports, insisting the couple, who have been dating since last summer, have no plans to exchange vows.
And Clooney has confirmed there won't be a wedding any time soon.
He tells Britain's Reveal magazine, "I tried marriage and it didn't work. I have had long relationships with women and they get bored with me working all the time. My fear is that I would make a lousy husband and I don't want to put myself, or anyone else, through the pain of finding out. If I was my girlfriend, I wouldn't put up with me for very long!"

No one was seriously hurt after a school bus carrying Grade 5 students was involved in a collision with a car in Winnipeg's Transcona area.
About 40 students from Harold Hatcher School were aboard the bus when the crash happened at about 11:40 a.m. Thursday near Plessis Road and Pandora Avenue.
The MIRV (major incident response vehicle), used for emergencies involving large numbers of people, was brought to the collision scene and kids were checked over for injuries.
Shortly after the accident, River East Transcona School Division superintendent Kelly Barkman said he had unconfirmed reports that one or two students were taken to hospital for further examination.
"There are a few kids apparently that … are being checked out, and so one or two were taken to the hospital just for precautionary purposes, I am told," Barkman said.
However, the River East Transcona School Division announced later Thursday afternoon that no one was transported to hospital following the crash.
Principal Tom Code from Harold Hatcher School said most of the students were unscathed and a few had minor injuries.
The students were heading back to the school after a handball tournament.
The students went back to the school that afternoon and their parents were contacted, according to the school division, which added that a letter with further details will be sent home with the students.
"I'm always concerned about everybody's safety, just like you would be," Barkman said.
"There are bumps and scrapes, you know, all through the year, especially in the winter. In my recollection, we haven't had one where we've had to have the medical people come in a while."

As published on TwoTube.ie on May 4th 2012
Music festivals are ridiculous amounts of fun – but being well prepared for living in a field for three days with thousands of other residents makes them all the better… We've all seen those poor unfortunates who've had their belongings stolen, or had their cheap tent feel the wrath of the weather, or who end up lost or sick or stuck in the mud. There are of course the obvious Festival Survival Tips – wear wellies, drink lots of water, pack a torch, bring toilet paper, etc. – but these are some of my own personal Survival Tips which I find make the whole camping-at-a-festival experience a LOT more enjoyable…
The single most important part of your festival preparations. You may have bought a new tent, or borrowed one from a friend, or dug last year's out from the attic – whatever the circumstances, find an open space to test-pitch it! Besides it being great to work out how to pitch it properly – saving valuable head-scratching time when you arrive at the campsite! – you can detect any disastrous broken pole or missing peg scenarios in advance. Incidentally, you really shouldn't bring a cheap single-layer to camp at an Irish festival – you know our climate! Pop-up tents are really handy to pitch – but it's not so handy trying to wrestle them down come Monday morning…
You'd think I'd help my friends take down their pop-up tents – but no, I take photos instead.
The widespread use of smartphones over the past few years has led to many a lost festival reveller – having no battery to find your mates via phone is a common complaint. Really, festivals aren't the best environment for expensive gadgets – so best to leave the touch-screen at home. Instead, head to a mobile phone shop in advance and buy the cheapest possible Nokia phone that you can find, and make it new home for your SIM card for the duration of the festival. These phones are practically indestructible – and the battery life on them is astounding, by today's standards. I've had my 'festival phone' for 3 years now – looking forward to dusting it off for its 4th festival season this summer!
A fold-out camping chair with a handy carrying case will cost you no more than €15, but it's an invaluable festival commodity – I never go to a camping festival without one. There are always opportunistic fellow campers on the hunt to thieve them – so if you're leaving your campsite, don't just put it in the porch of your tent, hide it away inside.
Sure this chirpy chap is only DELIGHTED with his camping chair – and rightly so.
Now this particular tip may seem like festival PR drip-fed drivel to avoid traffic mayhem – but trust me on this one, if you are camping at a festival, leave the car at home. There are many reasons for this – but the ones which have converted me to the ways of the bus are – 1) You don't pack half as much when you don't have a car to load up, only the essentials – which makes the dreaded walk from drop-off point to campsite all the more doable, and bearable, 2) Driver fatigue is not an issue. You can stay up as late as you like on the last night, without having to worry about driving a car full of friends home the next day whilst struggling to stay awake. 3) Festival car-parks are not proper car-parks – they are fields. Heavy rain (prevalent at Irish festivals!) leads to cars getting stuck in the mud – the last thing you need of a Monday morning after a few nights in a tent!
Festival sites aren't the healthiest of places – it's best to be prepared for every eventuality, as you may not always have the time and energy to seek out the medic's tent. A trip to the chemist in advance can save you a lot of hassle – you never know what dancing around in wellies might do to your feet, or what that dodgy kebab might do to your insides. I never go to a festival without my own stash of plasters, antiseptic wipes & cream, painkillers, tummy tablets, rehydration sachets, and even antihistamines (no, really – one of my friends actually got stung by a wasp at Electric Picnic last year, for which I was able to provide the cure!)
Dancing around a field in wellies for 3 days straight is not without its downsides…
This may seem like a given – but the ridiculously long ATM queues to be witnessed at any given festival prove that many MANY people do not have the foresight to carry out this simple action in advance. Do you REALLY want to spend two hours of valuable band-watching time in a queue? No, didn't think so. Go to the bank machine before departing for your weekend of fun – set yourself a budget and withdraw that amount, and then stash your money (and your card, in case of emergency) in various different hidey-holes once you've set up camp. MUCH easier.
Schedule clashes for acts you want to see at festivals are unavoidable. After years of trying to give myself the ability to be in 3 places at once, I've realised it's never gonna happen… So, last summer I embraced the art of making a choice and sticking to it – and I highly recommend it. All festivals release the schedule of acts in advance – so print it out and get busy with the highlighters! It's better to get a decent vantage spot to enjoy a full set of one act you REALLY want to see, rather than sprinting between stages and only seeing snippets of a few sets from the back of the crowd!
Getting up the front at festival gigs means acquiring awesome souveniers such as THIS…
Put your phone, keys, wallet and whatever else you don't want to go walkies into the bottom of your sleeping-bag before you put yourself into it. There are some nasty individuals who roam campsites looking to thieve from others, and some campers make it all too easy for them by leaving their valuables exposed just inside the entrance to their tent – a friend of mine actually had her iPhone stolen from her tent as she slept at a festival last summer! This is a simple precaution, but one that can save you a LOT of hassle.
Sleeping in a tent for a few nights on the trot is bad enough – but I find the absence of a hot shower when I wake up each morning even more of a struggle. I always found the notion of communal campsite showers repulsive – but in Summer 2010 I could take no more. I started packing a swimsuit & towels for festivals, setting the alarm on my phone for 7AM, going to use the campsite showers, and then coming back to my tent clean & refreshed for another bit of sleep. This may seem crazy – but I'd rather get up early than spend an hour in a queue come midday! Plus, going early means the showers are in pristine condition, and hot water in plentiful supply.
PORTALOOS. The main grievance of any festival goer. They are disgustingly grim – and they'll probably never change, so it's best to find ways to deal with them. Ever heard of Olbas Oil? It's a really strong smelling eucalyptus oil that you can buy in any good chemist for a few euro. Get yourself some Olbas Oil, douse a bandana/scarf in it, and keep it in your pocket or handbag for the duration of the weekend. Whenever you need to pee, tie it around your face before crossing that threshold – thus rendering the dreaded Portaloo stench un-smellable. Easy.

Giant panda gives birth to cub at National Zoo
Posted Sep 17, 2012 by
Leigh Goessl
Last night a giant panda at the National Zoo in Washington gave birth to a cub. The mother panda's chances of conceiving a cub had previously been estimated to be slim, so has created lots of excitement.
Mei Xiang (pronounced may-SHONG) gave birth to her cub last night at 10:46 p.m. say zoo officials. No one has fully seen the cub yet as mama has built a "substantial" nest inside of her den and is staying put.
Staff has, however, heard the cub, and everyone is anxiously waiting for a good glimpse. Mei Xiang has experienced five consecutive pregnancies since 2007 and the last birth she gave was in 2005 when Tai Shan, now at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, was born. Her chances of conceiving were estimated to be less than 10 percent.
She had been artificially inseminated twice in April with frozen sperm from Tian Tian, the male giant panda currently living at the National Zoo. The pair has had difficulty mating naturally.
"We are thrilled that Mei Xiang has had a successful pregnancy since the birth of her cub Tai Shan (tie-SHON) in 2005," said Dennis Kelly, director at the Smithsonian's National Zoo, in a
press release
. "I'm cautiously optimistic as we haven't seen the cub yet, but we know that Mei is a good mother. Like everyone else, I'm glued to the panda cam for my first glimpse of the cub!"

Earlier this month Mei Xiang had shown "signs" of impending motherhood. Zoo staff watched her spending time cradling toys and body licking. Staff tried to get ultrasounds to confirm pregnancy but the female giant panda was not cooperative. A scanning conducted on Sept. 4 proved inconclusive, so last night's birth is a exciting surprise.
"I got a call ... a little after 10:45" from a senior curator saying "the behavior watcher just saw a birth," said Don Moore, associate director for animal care sciences. "I said, 'Yeah, yeah, it's not April Fool's yet, so I'm going back to bed. ' She said, 'No, no, really. There's been a panda. Congratulations'," reported the
Washington Post
"I was not believing it," Moore said Monday. "We gave this a very low percentage. We were prepared for another disappointment.... We bucked the odds ... and we've got a baby on the ground."
Zoo officials say veterinarians will examine Mei Xiang in a few weeks after mama and baby have some time to bond. The new mother is not expected to emerge from her den for at least a week.
"Mei Xiang is behaving exactly the same way she did when Tai Shan was born. She is cradling her cub closely , and she looks so tired, but every time she tries to lay down, the cub squawks and she sits right up and cradles the cub more closely," chief veterinarian Suzan Murray
. "She is the poster child for a perfect panda mom."
China owns all of the giant pandas in the U.S. and signs agreements to lease the pandas. The recently signed agreement between China and the U.S. stipulates Tian Tian and Mei Xiang will be in Washington through Dec. 2015. As part of all agreements,
any babies born
must be returned to China for breeding.
Being the panda population has decreased, breeding is actively being done to ensure the future of the breed and also to study the giant panda.
Last winter
philanthropist David M. Rubenstein, co-founder and managing director of the Carlyle Group, donated $4.5 million to fund giant panda research, as reported by
Digital Journal
The live panda cam can be accessed from the
Smithsonian website
. The new baby will be on view to the public in about four to five months, notes the Smithsonian.

Baltimore County police say they issued a criminal citation to Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith for failing to follow an officer's orders.
The incident occurred Saturday night after police were called to a restaurant in Towson, Maryland because a woman had reportedly passed out in the bathroom.
Police arrived and found the woman vomiting into a sink in the bathroom. Police say Smith was with her and refused to obey an officer's repeated orders to leave the bathroom.
Smith, 25, was cited late Saturday at a police precinct in Towson and then released.

Afternoon walkaround of a thoroughbred Hawker Tempest Mk II
This Tempest II is displayed at the Florida Air Museum and was photographed during a beautiful November afternoon day when it had been luckily been pulled out of the hangar for an event. The Tempest II was an evolutionary airplane designed later in WW II for air superiority and interception missions. It was fast (Bristol Centaurus radial 2520 hp/1880kW radial engine giving 440 mph/704kph airspeed with a then new laminar flow wing), nimble (using knowledge learned from the Typhoon, Fw 190 and P-51) and powerfully armed (4 x 20mm cannon). Like a modified racer the engine is closely cowled and the drag inducing radiator chin scoop of the Typhoon was dropped in favor of wing inlets — though the chin scoop was reintroduced with later variants.

After speaking to the Republican Party faithful in Anoka this year, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann headed down the side aisle for the front door.
It would take awhile. Everyone wanted her to stop and chat, and she did. Looking each of them in the eye, she shook hands, exchanged small talk and laughs and fairly bounced on to the next person.
"Republicans love Michele Bachmann," observed Ed Fiore, taking a break from chairing the Senate District 48 endorsing convention.
Bachmann, a conservative representing perhaps Minnesota's most conservative congressional district, was riding high then. Now, half a year later, the first-term 6th District congresswoman is clinging to her seat, facing a stiff challenge from Democrat El Tinklenberg few expected just a couple of weeks ago.
That's when she stepped on a symbolic land mine, saying Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama might have "anti-American views" and suggesting the media look into whether other members of Congress do, too.
"I've never seen an implosion like this one," said Norman Ornstein, congressional analyst for the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.
For many fans and detractors, it cemented their views. Since emerging on the public scene 15 years ago, Bachmann has been one of Minnesota's most polarizing politicians, seemingly loved or loathed.
"I have strong views," she said in a 20-minute interview Wednesday with the Pioneer Press that ended abruptly when her staff shuttled her off to another appointment. "I am not a waffling personality."
A social conservative, she is embraced by like-minded people who believe she uncompromisingly represents their views against abortion and same-sex marriage and for lower taxes and less government.
"When you talk to her, it is as if she has known you all her life, and it feels natural," Fiore said this week. "It's not put on."
Many of her critics, though, find her utterly dismissive of their concerns.
"She's using this office to advance a narrow, extremist political agenda," said Karl Bremer, a Stillwater Township resident and writer.
Bachmann, he and other critics contend, doesn't respond to them or seem to have time for them. They note, though, that she finds time for national television and radio talk shows, where she has become a popular guest, appearing more than two-dozen times in recent months and raising eyebrows even from party regulars.
"She's a limelighter," said Phil Heir, a former Republican state legislator who nonetheless supports Bachmann. "She has to do it with so much pizzazz that it overshadows what she's doing, sometimes."
An Iowa native, Bachmann, 52, grew up in Anoka, worked her way through college and law school and became a tax lawyer. Along the way, she and her husband, Marcus, had five biological children, cared for 23 foster children and started a mental health clinic.
Immersing herself in education issues in the early 1990s, she helped form a K-12 charter school in Stillwater and then ran unsuccessfully for a spot on the Stillwater school board on her opposition to the state's Profile of Learning graduation standard.
In 2000, she ran for a state Senate seat, taking on a longtime Republican incumbent, Gary Laidig, and beating him. Two years later, after redistricting, she defeated another incumbent, Democrat Jane Krentz.
Although she worked on education and tax concerns, one hot-button issue — getting a same-sex marriage ban on the ballot — dominated her legislative career. Despite several attempts, it failed. Along the way, she got a reputation for mixing religious views and public policy.
In late 2005, U.S. Rep. Mark Kennedy announced he would run for a U.S. Senate seat. Bachmann entered the 6th District race and, despite being outspent, defeated Democrat Patty Wetterling 50-42 percent in 2006. The district runs from the St. Croix River around the northern half of the Twin Cities to beyond St. Cloud.
Bachmann's time in Washington got off to a rocky start when, after listening to President Bush's State of the Union address, she clung to his shoulder until he kissed her.
Cameras caught the moment, making Bachmann an object of derision in some quarters.
Fiore said he winced at that but said he could empathize. While visiting the White House in the 1980s, he met President Reagan, and despite warnings against touching the president, he couldn't resist and took hold of Reagan's right arm with his left hand.
"I thought the Secret Service was going to go through the ceiling," Fiore said.
For the most part, her supporters have dismissed her gaffes, such as saying the Republican National Convention would be in Minneapolis instead of St. Paul, often passing them off as indications of her exuberance.
"To me, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is the Republican counterpart to (the late) Democrat Sen. Paul Wellstone," said Ken Richard, a Grant resident and small-business owner. "Both controversial, both challenging, charming and courageous to a fault in their voicing personal political convictions and considerations."
Fiore believes Bachmann also shares a trait with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin: "They seem to pull energy from the crowd and turn around and give energy back," he said.
While she often is associated with the policies of President Bush, whose popularity ratings are low, Bachmann is quick to point out they've parted company on several issues, including immigration, the No Child Left Behind law and, most recently, the $700 billion Wall Street bailout.
Sometimes, she has attracted attention for odd assertions.
Early last year, for example, she said she knew of an Iranian plan to split Iraq and turn half of it into a "terrorist haven" to launch attacks in the Middle East. When pressed about it, she said she was "sorry if my words had been misconstrued."
But her instincts and timing on other issues have been good.
As gasoline prices surged into the $4-a-gallon range this spring, she was among the first Republicans to push for expanded natural gas and oil drilling and said she's proud of her leadership role.
With no relief in sight and a platform that resonated with a frustrated public, she became a popular conservative spokeswoman. By the time the Republican National Convention hit St. Paul, Bachmann's star was rising.
Not only was she given a chance to speak to an evening audience, but cable television talk shows also had found a hot commodity: an authoritative, attractive female officeholder with a clear message who was willing to talk and could deliver the goods.
Then, on Oct. 17, she went on MSNBC's "Hardball" with Chris Matthews. They talked about Obama's connections to an old radical, Bill Ayers. Then, as Bachmann pressed the association, Matthews brought up the anti-American depiction, and Bachmann bit.
"Absolutely," she said. "I'm very concerned that he may have anti-American views."
Over the next days, Bachmann retreated a bit, talking about how she regretted using the term, how she believed Obama isn't "anti-American," how she felt a trap was laid and what a mistake it was to appear on the show.
But the damage was done.
"It's not like this is the first time Bachmann has said something controversial or cringe-worthy," Ornstein said. "That she would say something this controversial or this cringe-worthy and keep putting her foot in it, it is sort of like watching a train wreck happen in slow motion."
A Minnesota Public Radio-University of Minnesota poll taken the next week underscored the extent of the damage.
A week after her own polls had her with an 11-percentage-point lead, Bachmann was essentially even, trailing Tinklenberg 45-43 percent, which was within the poll's margin of error.
But it said two-thirds of district residents disagreed with her views, almost four in 10 were less likely to vote for her because of them and almost a fifth of Republicans had abandoned her and supported either Tinklenberg or Independence Party candidate Bob Anderson or were undecided. Republican Aubrey Immelman, who lost the GOP primary, was angered by her comments and jumped in as a write-in candidate.
Steve Frank, a political science professor at St. Cloud State University, said another factor may be at play in this election.
"I don't think this district is as conservative as people's perceptions are," he said. "It's changed a lot in 30 years."
Now, despite a crush of advertisements by Bachmann and Tinklenberg, the "Hardball" controversy has largely subsided.
"It doesn't change my support at all," said Richard, taking a moment from hunting pheasants in southwestern Minnesota. "Is everybody infallible?"

EAST MADISON — A former member of a New Hampshire white supremacist prison gang is being held at Somerset County Jail even though he was charged in Oxford County with robbery, kidnapping and aggravated assault.
Randall Joseph Chapman, 37, was booked Thursday afternoon at the county jail in East Madison under an inmate boarding agreement between Somerset County and the state Board of Corrections.
Chapman, known as "Pitbull," reportedly has a kill order on his head issued by leaders of the Brotherhood of White Warriors after he testified in a trial of a gang member in a jailhouse murder case.
Somerset County Jail Administrator Cory Swope and Chief Deputy Dale Lancaster said Somerset authorities are aware of Chapman's background and are taking precautions to ensure his safety and the safety of other inmates.
Oxford County Jail is a 72-hour holding center and officials had to move Chapman to a full-time jail, Lancaster said. Lancaster said Chapman was first sent to Kennebec County jail in Augusta, but it was not adequate to hold him, so he was sent to Somerset County, a secure jail built in 2009.
"We have had conversations with Oxford County and we are aware of his status. He's a special-needs management inmate," said Lancaster. "We are well aware of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Chapman. Our staff has been trained, our facility is state-of-the-art and we will take appropriate precautions on handling Mr. Chapman."
Swope said each inmate at Somerset County Jail has been assigned a classification, which determines placement in the jail.
"There are factors present in his case that puts him at a higher risk level," Swope said. "We start with our lowest risk level offender – minimum classification – and he's at the top end of that."
They said they cannot release details about where Chapman is being held – in the general population or in an isolated cell – for security reasons.
Chapman is awaiting trial in Oxford County but Oxford County Assistant District Attorney Joseph O'Connor said Chapman's name does not appear on the trial list. He said a new list will be announced Tuesday. O'Connor said he doesn't know if Chapman has a lawyer.
Chapman, who is identified in prison records as a former member of the Brotherhood of White Warriors, was arrested May 28 by Maine State Police in Gray after being on the run since May 19, the Associated Press reported.
He is charged with slashing a kidnapped victim's face during a robbery in Rumford. Police said Chapman used a woman to lure the victim to an apartment where the man was robbed and forced to drive to an ATM to withdraw money, according to published reports.
On the way to the ATM, the victim saw police cruisers in a parking lot, pulled in and sounded his horn to alert the officers, and Chapman ran. While he was on the run, police warned that he should be considered dangerous.
Chapman pleaded not guilty to robbery, kidnapping and aggravated assault. He was ordered held on $50,000 bail. O'Connor said Chapman's bail remains the same.
In July, Chapman testified in New Hampshire in the trial of William Edic, who is charged with helping to kill inmate Anthony Renzzulla, a New Hampshire State Prison inmate, in 2010.
Edic and Thomas Milton, who were both Brotherhood members and inmates at the prison in Concord, are charged with second-degree murder in the beating death. Renzzulla suffered head injuries and died of them 16 months later.
According to a police affidavit obtained by the Concord Monitor newspaper, Renzzulla's beating had been ordered by Brotherhood prison leaders who suspected Renzzulla was a snitch.
Chapman, who was serving time for armed robbery at the prison, admitted he followed orders and helped clean up blood after Renzzulla was beaten fatally. He pleaded guilty to falsifying physical evidence and was sentenced to one to five years.
By pleading guilty, Chapman is believed to have broken the rules of the Brotherhood of White Warriors, who assumed he was cooperating with the authorities in an attempt to implicate other members, according to a the Monitor, which did a series of newspaper articles on the gang.
Brotherhood leadership retaliated by issuing what the gang world refers to as a "terminate on sight" order against Chapman, according to the Monitor.
Chapman was allowed to serve his New Hampshire parole out of state because gang leadership had ordered him killed for helping law enforcement, according to court records. Before his arrest in May, Chapman had a Lewiston address.

Burned church finds temporary home
Updated 1:25 pm, Thursday, February 7, 2013
The historic East Side congregation whose 105-year-old sanctuary burned to the ground last weekend has found a place to resume worship services while it studies rebuilding plans.
Childress Memorial Church Of God In Christ will meet at 9:30 a.m. for Bible school and 10:45 a.m. for the main worship service at Ephesus Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 4123 East Houston St.
Local and federal fire officials are investigating the blaze at Childress Memorial as a possible arson. A string of intentional fires have hit the East Side recently.
The church set up an account to receive donations through Security Service Federal Credit Union by mentioning "Childress Memorial Church" and its address, 901 N. Pine St.
For more information, contact the church at 210-223-1262 or visit www.childressmemorialchurch.com.

The Jojoba bush thrives in desert conditions and originated in central America. The seeds contain a liquid wax that closely matches the fatty acid profile found in human sebum
It forms a transparent, protective film on the skin, which stops the trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). The oil is an occlusive moisturiser and a skin emollient.
Jojoba is also a classic oil for hair packs and treatments due to the fact that it is not very greasy and can easily be washed out.
Also known as: Simmondsia chinensis seed oil
This extract is obtained from cultured stem cells gathered from Sea Fennel, which contain all of the attributes of the whole Sea Fennel plant. Grown by the coast, Sea Fennel or 'Rock Samphire' has evolved to survive under unique and challenging environmental conditions.
Sea plants such as Sea Fennel were the first and original organisms to come out of the water and onto the land, meaning they needed to evolve and adapt to life out of the ocean. Due to its hardy and determined nature to survive, this groundbreaking natural extract offers a complete anti-ageing solution for your skin.
Benefits of Sea Fennel stem cells include:
The Shea tree grows wild in West Africa and the butter is made from the Shea nuts.
The fairly traded Shea butter in our products is produced by a women's co-operative in northern Ghana.
Also known as: Butyrospermum parkii butter
Squalane, extracted from Olive oil, is the saturated (stable) form of Squalene. When applied to the skin it is transformed to the active form 'Squalene' by naturally occurring enzymes.
Adult skin is lubricated and protected against external aggressors by sebum. In healthy skin, sebum contains between 10-13% Squalene, but this level drops as we get older. Low levels of Squalene lead to dryness and flaking of the skin, reduced flexibility and increase the risk of bacterial and fungal infections. Eczema and psoriasis are also linked to low levels of Squalene.

I live and craft in England (or perhaps "live to craft..."?). I love colour and I love pretty things.
I must have been a magpie or a butterfly in a previous life, such is my attraction to colourful and shiny stuff (aka, pretty, shiny things).
This blog is my attempt to make sense, and keep track, of what I make.
confessions of a fabric obsessive
Sewing outside the lines
May 5, 2012Posted by on
You might already have spotted that I'm following the Craftsy Block of the Month course, and you may have read where I describe what I wanted out of the course. Basically, I want to improve my accuracy as well as learning new (quilting) skills.
So is it weird that my striving for accuracy in my cutting and sewing also comes with a flip side – a yearning for the creative randomness of free-motion embroidery?
Most quilting (apart from improv quilting) is precise and structured (OK I mean the piecing together of the little bits of fabric into a pattern), and it's this precision and structure that I love most about the beautiful quilts that I blog about occasionally and pin to my boards on pintrest frequently (my "quilts I want to make" pintrest board has over 500 photos, no duplicates that I can find, and is still growing!).
But the quilting together of all the layers in a quilt, unless done as "stitch in the ditch" or straight lines, needs me to have some control with free motion stitching. I've seen some beautiful quilting and some incredible and intricate designs, and while I'm realistic about my skill, the thought of only ever being able to quilt straight lines doesn't work for my creative self.
I adore free motion embroidery and have tried a few times with
limited zero success, partly due to the fact that my sewing machine needs servicing, and partly to a mystery tension problem. I have been reading and watching youtube demos of FME for months and I have the basics in my head but I really want to produce gorgeous stuff like this (as always, click to view photos in their owners' blogs):
and these
and this
and of course, the wonderful Raspberry
Yes, I could embroider by hand (or hand-quilt), but it takes soooo long and I have arthritis in my fingers that is only going to get worse. I'm worried that if I sew too much by hand I might worsen the arthritis to the point where I can't hold a needle at all (and that would make me very sad).
One of the lovely ladies at the networking group I go to once a month owns a sewing shop and runs classes in FME, and has suggested that I go to one of her classes (she also kindly made a few suggestions about how to get around my tension problems). I'd love to, but money is tighter than tight at the moment and it's not even a possibility, so I have been exploding with frustration and pent up wanting-to-drop-those-feed-dogs. Last night I just went for it and look what I did:
First-time-ever kind-of-successful free motion embroidery.
If you're wondering why it look like it's been done on a tissue, I've also been reading a lot about textiles and using unusual mediums (like dryer sheets) to sew on. This has intrigued me to the point where I grabbed one of the wipes that I use on my spectacles (the closest thing I have to a dryer sheet, and the closest non-woven fabric I had by my sewing machine), sat at my machine and went for it.
Of course if it had worked out
as badly as like my previous attempts, you wouldn't be seeing it (I don't show all my failures to people, just the ones that are useful).
It needs work obviously, I need to slow down (I have a heavy right foot), swap the normal throat plate for one with a tiny hole (apparently it can reduce the amount of fabric that gets dragged down into the machine if things go worn) and find a darning foot. Also, I didn't actually drop the feed dogs on this, it's a bit of a faff to do and to be honest I didn't think that the free-motion would go any better than the last few times I've tried it. I think I need to put the fabric in an embroidery hoop as well, as the satin stitch (which is really cool when you move it sideways instead of boring forwards and backwards like normal) kind of puckers the fabric.
I know that to most experienced sewing people, this bit of tissue with random stitches on it looks rubbish, but I started this blog to record my journey to sewing excellence. This tiny scrap of stitching may only be a first step on the road to competency in free-motion embroidery, but it is a major breakthrough and one that I am proud of.

Way to go Claire! That was one of my first experiments with free motion embroidering and I was so nervous about it. Dropping the feed dogs is seriously the way to go – I actually popped on my free motion quilting foot too – even though it scared me to death. All I can say is lots of practice and patience is all it takes. Try drawing (chalk or otherwise) the lines for yourself to practice on. That's the best way to practice! Thanks for sharing my pillows!

Download now to prevent a malicious user from compromising your computer, or using it to interfere with another computer's operation. The vulnerability results because the Windows XP Universal Plug and Play feature does not correctly validate inputs before using them. The patch also eliminates the vulnerability discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-054. I downloaded this and double-clicked it to run the install and noticed it said to update my System Recovery Disk....ummm...I don't have a System Recovery Disk to begin with....so I guess my question is how do I make one? and how do I update it? I have done some digging on my own but can't seem to find an answer to it. Any help would be appreciated. Gonna hold off on the patch until I get this done I guess. Grant

AU Press Releases
Two AU riders compete at Zone II show; Moore qualifies to compete at nationals
Moore was one of two AU riders who rode in Saturday's IHSA Zone II championships at Cazenovia College. She took first place in novice equitation on the flat and qualified to compete in that event at the ISHA national championships May 6-9 in Lexington, KY. The top two riders in each zone championship show move on to compete at nationals.
Moore also competed in novice equitation over fences — the event in which she won a Zone II, Region II, title on March 20 — and did not place. Her teammate, junior Barbara Koziol (Syracuse, NY/Bishop Ludden), competed in intermediate equitation over fences on Saturday and placed eighth.
Moore becomes the first AU rider to qualify for nationals in hunt seat competition since Caitin Hartman placed second in walk-trot-canter in 2007. The Saxons' Katie Mix also competed at nationals that year, in the Western division. Alfred competed as a team at the 2008 IHSA Western championships; Mix and Kelsey Coggiola earned individual ribbons at the national show that year. Kristen Kovatch (Lansdale, PA/North Penn), a senior this year, competed at last season's IHSA Western national championships.

In Response To: Re: Portuguese of 17th Century Virginia ()
portugal conquered two kingdoms in angola. angola is in africa. the two kingdoms names were ndongo and kongo. ndongo and kongo were conguered by the portugue in the 15oo's, making these kingdoms colonies of portugal. the first african slaves that landed in viginia were from angola, a colony of portugal, they spoke, bantu, kimbundu, and kikongo. these 20 african slaves from angola, a colony of portugal, arrived in virginia in 1619. The rest came later.
