The film director's own ancestral search helped inspire the new HBO comedy series.
A genealogical mission can lead anywhere.
The myriad possibilities inspired Christopher Guest and Jim Piddock to create Family Tree (HBO, Sunday, 10:30 ET/PT), an eight-episode comedy series shot in the documentary style of such Guest films as Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. It features many actors who frequent Guest films, including Michael McKean, Ed Begley Jr., Bob Balaban and Fred Willard.
Guest has first-hand experience with ancestral searches, having inherited his own collection of family keepsakes from his father. In his search, he found such things as a diary from an English relative who performed ventriloquism in the early 1800s.
"I was interested in the idea that it takes you to places that are unexpected and that families now, because of the Internet, are doing this a lot," he says. "I found my own (search) kind of interesting and unexpected in where it was taking me. And then, when you meet family that are cousins or some relation, it's never really what you expect. It's usually odd or strange in some way that's interesting or funny to me."
Although Guest is known for his movies, Tree made more sense as an ongoing TV series, his first, since a genealogical search can be open-ended, without a specific beginning, middle and end.
Tree follows 30-year-old Tom Chadwick (Chris O'Dowd, Bridesmaids), an Englishman who begins an investigation of his lineage after inheriting a box of family mementos from a great aunt. Not only does Tom lack firm roots, having been raised in Ireland by his mother after his parents split, but he has recently lost two major pieces of his adult identity, his job and his girlfriend.
"He doesn't know really what his place in the world is. ... When we find him, he's a bit of a lost soul," O'Dowd says. "Once you're wiped out and you're trying to find yourself, it's a great time to go on a little identity search."
Tom is accompanied at various times by his father, Keith (McKean); his ventriloquist sister, Bea (Nina Conti), and her monkey puppet; and his best friend, Pete Stupples (Tom Bennett).
The family search takes him all over, to a theater in the south of England and to a farm in the north, as he traces deceased relatives and meets new ones. His research, which this season focuses on his father's side, will eventually take him abroad, with four episodes set in England and four in the United States.
"The joy of this is that we can go anywhere. We joke about where do we want to eat. So, it will be the South of France and Italy. He'll have relatives in all the places we want to come visit," Piddock says. "I think we'll focus on America and Britain, but the beauty of it is it's a roving comedy, because the situation isn't geographical."
Guest and Piddock, who also play an American cousin and an English friend of Tom, respectively, created an elaborate family tree that goes well beyond the characters seen in the series. "It's massive. It's spread across one whole wall of our office," says Piddock, another veteran of Guest's films.
"It took eight months just to come up with names and this insane family tree, which had to be so specific because when you give stuff to the actors, since there's no dialogue written (a trait of Guest's projects), it had to be incredibly accurate," Guest says.
"And the names were one of the most fun things. ... English names are typically pretty funny. If you read Dickens, there's a lot of incredible character names, and we were trying to come up with perfect names for these characters," he says, before pronouncing one of the character's last names — Stupples — with an English accent. "There's a musicality to it."
The detail work goes beyond the main characters. Guest and Piddock created and filmed the realistic-looking TV series that the Chadwicks watch, including a broad, 1970s English police comedy and a modern-day version of Sherlock Holmes in space.
"This has been true of what I've done in the past. If someone is listening to music, I have done that music. This is really another fun thing to do," Guest says. "We knew they'd be watching TV and we said, 'Let's create these shows.' So, we shot them."
As part of their work, Guest and Piddock developed extensive character backgrounds and detailed story lines. Although the dialogue between Tom, his family and friends is improvised, the story — who the characters are and where they are going — is very specific.Even many talented actors can't pull off that kind of quick-footed improvisation, which is why certain ones tend to show up frequently in Guest productions.
"It's really simple. If they can't improvise, they're not in the project," Guest says. "The reason I use these people in the films is those are the people who do this better than anybody else. ... This is a very specific thing where there has to be a basis in reality and be funny at the same time."
Guest picked O'Dowd even without much improvisational experience. "I think Chris is an amazing talent," Guest says. "He's so likable, and he's funny and he's charming. It's sort of the Everyman who runs into these odd people."
"I found (improvisation) hard, to be honest," O'Dowd says. "At times, it feels great. But when you're working with all those great people, you're constantly second-guessing yourself.
"And also what I found tricky is (that) I come from a sitcom background. In normal sitcoms, the grammar is, what's the quickest way to a punchline?" he says. "Obviously, Chris's stuff isn't like that, so you have to constantly remind yourself to not do jokes."
Acting with improv pros brought mixed feelings. "You realize when you're working with someone like Ed Begley Jr. or Fred Willard, they're just so good at it, like right out of the gate," O'Dowd says. "It makes you feel halfway kind of insecure and halfway kind of safe that they're in the scene with you."

A visceral, mind-bending curio, Upstream Color isn't for the faint of heart... or stomach! But for those brave souls willing to wade in to auteur Shane Carruth's willfully enigmatic, narratively fractured story, you will be rewarded with a spine-tinglingly unforgettable voyage.
In a film that leeches into you like watercolour on canvas; the less you know about the story going in, the better. But in broad brushstrokes, I can reveal that Carruth co-stars alongside a spellbinding Amy Seimetz, and the pair play two troubled strangers, mysteriously drawn together by forces beyond their control. As Kris, Seimetz's physical transformation is harrowing at times, at others, thrillingly triumphant. And it's a testimony to Carruth's staggering visual and sonic artistry that Kris' vulnerability reaches straight out from the screen and fuses with your own anima.
Indeed, as a sensory experience, Upstream Color might find a more appreciative audience as an art installation. And yet the comforting cave of the cinema provides a welcomed sight, especially when the lights come back up and you're grappling with what on earth you've just seen!
Buoyed by captivating performances and a palpable spirit, Carruth leads us into deep existential waters, and if you're anything like me, you'll be gladly swept away.
Upstream Color is released in select theatres on August 22

Although significant progress has been made recently in hepatitis B (HBV) therapy, the current knowledge in the management of HBV infection is limited because treatment trials have utilized one to two years of therapy at most, whereas most patients require treatment of much longer duration for optimal long term outcome. Our first project addresses optimal long term management of patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B. Thus, in Project 1, we propose a trial in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis to evaluate the ability of pegylated interferon in combination with tenofovir (TDF) to alter the natural history, by achieving the following aims: (Project 1a) to compare the long term efficacy and safety of combination of pegylated interferon and TDF versus TDF alone and (Project 1 b) to identify predictors of response to the combination therapy and measure the long term benefit of antiviral therapy. In our second project, we will investigate means to optimize the long term outcome in patients with HBV infection including HCC and end stage liver disease. The majority of these patients will be HBeAg-negative. These patients are in a later phase of chronic HBV infection and thus tend to be older and to have more fibrosis, which predispose them to a higher risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thus, in Project 2, we propose observational studies to dissect the effect of host (e.g., age, gender, race, stage of liver disease) and virologic (genotype, sequential HBV DMA levels) characteristics on the risk of HCC, by conducting studies with following aims: (Project 2a) to compare the age- and gender-specific incidence of HCC between patients of Asian and African origin and (Project 2b) to measure the effect of baseline patient characteristics and serial HBV DMA and ALT levels to develop a score estimating the risk of HCC and assess the impact of antiviral therapy on the risk of developing end stage liver disease and HCC. While the most active liver disease tends to be seen in young, HBeAg-positive hepatitis patients, the majority of our clinic patients are HBeAg-negative with little evidence of active liver disease. Our project addresses important questions in both of these populations.

Space exploration has stirred imaginations and piloted hopes and dreams, but the future of space travel looks very different from the age in which Neil Armstrong made it to the moon.
Since NASA is no longer doing manned missions, astronaut hopefuls have turned their sites on the private sector.
Private Adventurism
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is one example of space entrepreneurship. He's been investing in private rockets and spaceships, leading two missions to the International Space Station in 2012.
Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Airlines, has founded a private space company of his own called Virgin Galactic. He says he hopes to open a spaceport in New Mexico for tourists later this year. He'll offer a six-minute, weightless ride into space.
A slew of other private companies are building and testing spaceship prototypes to carry people and cargo, all in the hopes that space exploration will be profitable.
John Grunsfeld, a retired astronaut and associate administrator for science at NASA, says this is all just as it should be. He says it's a natural evolution — a sort of seed company spinoff from NASA.
"The reason they're successful is because we've had 50 years of investment in learning how to explore space," he tells NPR's Jacki Lyden.
The technology that's been developed over the years by NASA is now being used in the private sector.
"When they are successful, it will make our space program stronger and also provide an economic engine for the country," Grunsfeld says.
Eyes On The Stars
For astronaut-hopeful Brian Shiro, these private companies may be his best hope of getting off Earth. Shiro, 34, has wanted to be an astronaut since he went to space camp in middle school. The geophysicist has the skills: math, science, multiple marathons.
He's invested all his vacations and free time to training, and he has a blog, Astronaut for Hire. He's even experienced zero gravity in a centrifuge in a NASA-sponsored training exercise.
He has applied twice to be a NASA astronaut, but last week he found out he once again didn't make the cut. He's not worried; he intends to become an astronaut with or without NASA. Shiro says he's ready at a moment's notice.
"If you need an astronaut, I'm here," he says.
Record-breaking former astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria says Shiro shouldn't get discouraged. Lopez-Alegria spent seven continuous months in orbit and has done more spacewalking than any other human being. It's not a moment you can relive, he says.
"It's almost like a different dimension, like a dream," he says.
Although he had to meet very specific education requirements to be an astronaut with the government, he expects the opportunity will open up to people with all kinds of expertise.
'Inspiring' Work
As Shiro and others look for private-sector opportunities, NASA is shifting its focus, too. The agency's role, says NASA administrator Grunsfeld, is to keep undertaking things like the Hubble Telescope, Mars rovers and other big-concept ideas.
"What we do at NASA is inspiring. It's reaching, it's visionary, and it inspires people on Earth to try hard things," he says. "I think it's really a sign of great American strength that we do invest the money we do in technology, in these hard projects, in NASA."
That investment isn't what it used to be, though.
"Last year, they did take a hit. They had a relatively flat budget of $17.7 billion — that was still $59 million less than what they got in 2012," says Tariq Malik, managing editor of SPACE.com.
NASA had to take hundreds of millions of dollars out of its planetary science projects, he says.
"And this is in a year when they had a spectacular success: They landed the biggest robot on Mars that can move around, the Curiosity Rover," Malik says.
A budget of $17.7 billion may sound huge, but Grunsfeld says it isn't, really.
"Our country … invests a tiny fraction of 1 percent in NASA, and this is what's so amazing to me," he says, "is with that small investment, we do so much for the country."
Forget The Moon
President Obama has re-conceived the next big space push: sending astronauts to visit an asteroid by 2025, and then to possibly try for Mars in the mid-2030s. Malik says he thinks visiting an asteroid is gutsy.
"Everyone can see the moon at night. When Obama took office, he scrapped that plan … to trade with this asteroid one, which they hope will capture the imagination of folks more because it's never been done before," he says.
Malik points out that space exploration is still wildly popular with the public. Last year, NASA got more applicants for the next astronaut training class than ever before. That class will be announced this spring.

I'm not going to lie. Now that we're at the end of the Alphabetical 2013 NCAA D1 Previews, I'm a little bit sad. It was just THAT enjoyable to go through every single D1 team, and I definitely learned a thing or two. I hope you all did as well! We move another, final spot down the list to the Yale Bulldogs, located in New Haven, CT! The Elis are up for Preview!
Yale started out in 2012 going 2-4, and most of the country wrote them off. Their fourth loss was in FIVE OT periods to Princeton, and it looks like that was a definite turning point, as Yale went on to win their next nine games, three of which included a total of 7 OT periods. Until a 13-7 loss to Notre Dame in the NCAAs, Yale went on one of the best runs in all of NCAA lacrosse, as they won it OT, and beat teams like Princeton convincingly, after losing to them earlier in the year.
2013 obviously has Yale once again in the Ivy League, and outside of that tough conference (Princeton, Brown, Harvard and Cornell are all looking really tough), the Bulldogs will face St. John's, Albany, Sacred Heart, Fairfield, Providence, Stony Brook, and Maryland. Fairfield and Maryland are their toughest OOC games, but teams like Providence and Albany could provide an excellent challenge.
Last year, Yale was boiled down to Matt Gibson by many, which was actually pretty unfair. Gibby was a huge difference maker for Yale, but he wasn't doing it alone, and there was, and is, some serious talent left in New Haven. Brandon Mangan, Conrad Oberbeck, Ryan McCarthy, and Shane Thompson all return, and they combine to bring back 91 total points. Deron Dempster is not listed on the roster, and Yale could definitely miss the Canadian's 39 points from 2012.
Defensively, Yale returns more talent than on offense. Seniors Peter Johnson and Michael McCormack return as Seniors to lead the way. Guys like Jimmy Craft and Jack Ambrose will be asked to step up, unless a freshman or two really impresses. In goal, both Jack Meyer and Eric Natale return. While Craft took the vast majority of the minutes, Natale showed some promise as well. Dylan Levings won almost 2/3 of his face offs last year, and returns this year as a Junior.
Yale definitely lost some talent, especially in Gibson and Dempster, but return a solid core of players. The Bulldogs have the potential to compete in the Ivy once again, and with their players losses from last year, another rough start isn't out of the question. Yale does have experience now in dealing with a tough start, so look for them to improve as the season wears on. Yale might just surprise some people again.

Grief & Loss

Grief is a normal reaction to a loss. . . The loss can be, of a loved one, self worth, integrity, a dream, anything that leaves us with an empty spot. .. It can show up as denial, depression, anxiety, fear, guilt, anger, in any combination, and people often see these feelings as problems.... In fact, as bad as they feel, as painful as they are, they are part of the solution. Counseling can help with healing, and in doing so, ease the painful days.

Life changes so quickly and sometimes we come to loose loved ones and loved relationships before we were ready. Together we can move from the pain of the loss to begin to see life in a new light, we work towards moving forward without forgetting the important lessons from the past. Sometimes we grieve the loss of loved ones, but sometimes our losses can be a relationship, a job, a friend and through all those we need to find a way of coming to terms and continue living. Let me help you find again a reason to keep going.

Grief is a part of life though sometimes it feels as if we are expected by society to "get over" a loss quickly and without difficulty. I believe that grief is a process that requires time and sometimes guidance to help explore the loss as well as begin to heal and work toward finding joy again, in your own way and in your own time and space. We will work together toward this common goal.

The popularly understood stages of grief: denial, bargaining, anger, despair, and acceptance, typically don't occur in order and some loved ones don't experience one or more of the first four stages at all. Movement between the stages is often more like the movement in a pinball machine. Grieving often goes beyond the mourning of a physical death. Sometimes it is the death of a relationship or marriage, death of a career path, death of a dream, and so on. Many of us get stuck in our grief. Let me help you get "unstuck."

Life is full of sad, unexplainable events which cause us to experience loss and to grieve. At times, words are helpful, but sometimes nonverbal expression is important for our healing. Through conversation, emotional expression, art, sandtray work, and understanding the stages of grief, clients are offered assistance to face issues and to recover.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J.

For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don't include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

Men, sometimes we just feel we need to be the strong one - the one others lean on. But, there comes a time when we need to grieve also...to experience and express the loss we have had. Easy? No. Necessary? Yes. And, we often do not have a role model on how to do this: that is where I come in. I can be your guide on how to process the loss and learn to live going forward. Give me a call and we can talk about how I can help.

Every kind of grief as well as each person's journey through grief is unique. Sometimes you may feel like you are losing your mind, but it is all a part of the grief process. Your pain, confusion and frustration is all a natural part of grief and if you have other loved ones journeying through grief along with you, there is often great relief found in talking about your grief jouney with someone removed from your family. I would consider it an honor to be that person and to help you in any way I can.

Grieving a loved one, an unfortunate experience that has occurred, or even a hopeful experience that has not occurred, can bring about many emotions. The stages of grief can be complex. I would like to assist you in a nonjudgmental, caring, and therapeutic environment. I use an eclectic approach to counseling. This means that I am trained in numerous therapeutic approaches. In a counseling session we will explore emotional and cognitive barriers, past and present relationships, and collaboratively devise therapy goals.

But now they've gone too far; they've made Maddy cry. Advertisement Madeleine Dupont, topless Dane skip extraordinaire, had two chances to put away the unbeaten Canadians Friday night, and she missed them both. Both times, the partisan crowd was carrying on, stomping and cheering through her shot. And you see, in curling, that's simply not done.A gentleman's game, curling stones are generally thrown with complete silence. Though that might be a byproduct of curling matches not having any fans in attendance. But not this time. Because it's one of the few sports in which Canadians are likely to end up on the podium, or because the hours of down time leave nothing to do but drink, the Vancouver curling crowds have been notably rowdy. Advertisement I could not control the weight on the last shot in the 10th," said an obviously upset Dupont after the game, wiping away a tear. "It should have been way slower but when there are 6,000 people yelling it's pretty hard to find out how hard you kick off. It's just so hard to focus. You're trying but it's just not the same as if it was silent."Heck, even the Canadian skip agreed, and said it wasn't particularly fair to other teams.I'm of two minds about it. On one hand, it's an ancient sport, and silence has always been the norm. It's what the players are used to. Sponsored But then it's odd that some sports encourage crowd noise, while others forbid it. Why do golfers get complete silence, while baseball players, who require just as much if not more concentration, have to play through a racket? In golf, the damn ball is just sitting there.And, on the first hand again...YOU MONSTERS BROUGHT OUR DEAR MADDY TO TEARS.

It was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve
Love and marriage know no boundaries
Those two schools of thought represent the powerful dichotomy in the debate over same-sex marriage. The first one says marriage can only be between one man and one woman; the second one places no such limitations.
In the wake of the Chick-fil-A brouhaha, free speech is under severe attack by some powerful, pandering pointy-headed politicians whose quest for political correctness has pushed them off the deep end — merely because Dan Cathy, the president and chief operating officer of the national fast-and-scrumptious-chicken-sandwich chain Chick-fil-A, had the audacity to say he believes in traditional marriage. And with that, politicians including the mayors of Boston and Chicago, told Chick-fil-A the company is not welcome in their cities. Hello? Weren't they elected to represent all the people?
Even the City of Brotherly Love's very own quality-of-life councilman from South Philly, Jim Kenney, chimed in, telling Mr. Cathy, in a letter, to "take a hike." Shame on Mr. Kenney for putting his nose where it does not belong, for trying to stifle Mr. Cathy's free speech, and creating a hostile environment for a legitimate business. If Jim Kenney doesn't like Chick-fil-A he doesn't have to eat there, plain and simple. Mr. Cathy has the right to his views, religious-based or not. Perhaps more American businesses should follow the lead of Mr. Cathy, who keeps all of his stores closed on Sundays, Thanksgiving and Christmas so his employees can have some down time.
We elect politicians to debate the big issues. The rest of us can vote, with our feet, where we want to eat.

The Harmonic pully seems too consist of two metal parts and a rubber peice in between them. the metal peice that is attached to the crankshaft does not seem to be spinning, but the metal peice that the serpentine belt sits on is spinning causing the rubber peice in the middle to melt. Engine still runs but power stearing is out. why would the damper pully seize up, if it is seized would engine still run, and would the damper pully effect my power stearing?

Whenever I think about window treatments, an anecdote from one of my favorite childhood books, Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish, comes to mind.
If you don't know Amelia, she is a kooky housekeeper who, in every book, misunderstands her employer's directives. In one scene, Amelia is asked to "draw the drapes," but rather than pull the curtains closed, she takes out a pen and paper and draws a picture of the fancy living room curtains.
The scene always struck me as funny not just because of the farcical play on words, but for the absurd formality of it all — I mean, who really ever draws the drapes unless they are staying at a hotel?
Well, as it turns out, I now do, but that wasn't always the case. I was always more of a "let the shade down" kind of a girl. In fact, most of my window treatments in past and present homes have been unfussy Roman shades, wood or tortoise blinds. The only curtains I have ever had have been in my living room and/or dining room and, given the purpose of the rooms, have never needed closing.
But all that has changed.
In my newly decorated bedroom, I have three sets of floor-length ivory linen curtains that have leading edges piped in thin red grosgrain trim. They are elegant, tailored and crisp — very unlike Mrs. Rogers' fancy swags — but, like Amelia's employer, I insist on drawing them closed.
In fact, I take great pleasure in pulling them tight every night, not because I need privacy (there is not a house anywhere in sight) but because the task seems special, even luxurious. The action makes me feel as if I am indeed staying at a hotel, and the ritual of opening them in the morning has become my own kind of sun salutation.
What led me to finally curtain-up? The architecture of the room demanded it; I have two windows in the bedroom and one large French door, and because I wanted to treat them all the same, curtains were really my only option. I kept them as simple as possible — no ballooning, pelmets (cornice boards) or valances — but even so, they were expensive, mostly because of the sheer volume of fabric needed. (Decorators always say the money is in the curtains.)
Know this: For curtains to look really good, they need to be full.
When closed, they should fully cover the window while maintaining a few soft folds for volume. I usually measure the window, add about 4 or 5 inches to each side (to account for the curtain rod), then double that dimension — so a 36-inch window gets about 88 inches of fabric width. Most fabric is 54 inches wide, so to avoid wasting any, I use a width and a half for each panel (54 inches plus 27 inches equals 81 inches).
If you want an even fuller, ball-gown look, multiply the width of the window by three. If you are buying pre-made panels, you might want to buy at least two for each side of the window.
To me, it is far worse to hang curtains that are too small than to hang nothing. As for length, mine just skim the floor, but if you want them to pool on the floor, add 6 to 8 inches to whatever your rod-to-floor measurement is.
My new curtains are made out of linen, but they are lined in a classic cotton chintz and interlined in a cotton felt. Not only does the middle lining help to block out light, it gives the curtains just the right amount of weight so they hang nicely. I think Mrs. Rogers would approve, and certainly they would be a worthy subject for one of Amelia Bedelia's drawings.
Curtain tricks
Just as a smart black dress can make you look more svelte, there are optical illusions at play in the world of windows. Whether your windows are too low or too squat, too skinny or just plain misshapen, the way you hang curtains and shades can have an enormous effect on the way you perceive the windows themselves.
Make a window appear taller: For curtains, mount the rod 8 inches (instead of the standard 4) above the top of the window frame and let the curtain fall from the rod to the floor or farther. For a shade, mount it above the window frame so that when the shade is fully pulled up, the bottom border covers just the very top of the glass, therefore hiding the frame's exact location.
Make a window appear wider: Mount curtain-rod brackets at least 5 inches to either side of the window's molding, equidistant from the window, and add a curtain rod that spans the distance. Consider your new measurement (say, 46 inches wide, instead of 36) as the width of your window. Buy two curtain panels, each the width of your new measurement. When open, the curtains should be slid along the rail to just cover the window molding — revealing only glass and tricking the eye into thinking the window extends behind the curtain, beyond what it sees.
Fix an overpowering window: For a large expanse of glass, such as sliding doors, a bay window or a plate-glass wall, mount one rod across the top of the molding and hang several curtain panels (that are as wide as possible) to break up the expanse.
Hide a poor view: Mount a sheer panel inside the window casement, close to the glass. Try using one panel instead of two (which will tempt guests to part them). Measure the width of the window and multiply by 11/2 for a standard amount of fullness, or up to two times the width for a richer look. Add to that a curtain or shade, mounted traditionally. The sheer panel can be static while the additional window coverings can be used to control light. For a more modern take, try sewing two dowels at either end of a panel of voile or muslin, and hang it taut in the window casement.

These tutorials this week have been massively draining because there is so many to do. This next lesson of the day is going to be on a character from a Japanese anime series which airs on Cartoon Network in the United States. So for this tutorial I will show you "how to draw Hamtaro" from The Adventures of Hamtaro step by step. Now I am assuming that this character is some form of hamster as he looks like one. Hamtaro was created by Ritsuko Kawai who has a story book series on this anime character. This adorable little hamster is the main character of the story and he is owned by a fifth grader girl named Laura and he cares for her very much as she does him. The whole anime series is about the adventures that the ham-hams go on as they learn new things and become smarter with every journey. Hamtaro is joined by a bunch of his ham-ham friends and some say that he even has a crush on Bijou who is known as the ham-ham sweetheart. Since there isn't a whole lot to say about Hamtaro, I will just tell you that he is a cute and cuddly hamster that puts a smile on your face with every episode. This tutorial will show you "how to draw Hamtaro" from The Adventures of Hamtaro step by step. I know you will have a blast with this lesson because it is simple to do and it should only take you a few minutes to complete him. I will be back soon with more drawing fun so stay tuned there is more on the way.

The monitor, 68-year-old Karen Klein, told police she is happy with the swift and strong community response against the verbal attack aboard a Greece Central School District bus, which was captured in a 10-minute video, authorities said Thursday.
Criminally charging the boys, all seventh-graders, would require their conduct to rise to the level of a crime, Greece Police Capt. Steve Chatterton said. So far, it has not been found to reach that level.
The YouTube video was viewed more than 1.5 million times by Thursday morning. An online crowd-funding site raised more than $225,000 by midday to help send Klein on vacation.
Klein said she hoped the boys' parents would view the video of the attack and talk to their children about being "a little more respectful." Parents of all four boys are cooperating fully and say their children will be punished, Chatterton said.
A student recorded the video. In it, Klein is seen trying her best to ignore a stream of profanity, insults and outright threats directed at her. At one point, she breaks down in tears.
Klein told NBC's "Today" show Thursday that it took "a lot of willpower" not to respond to Monday's jeers from the boys riding the bus.
"I'm not usually that calm. Just ask my kids," Klein, a grandmother of eight, said during the interview. "I'm sure they don't act that way at home, but you never know what they're going to do when they're out of the house."
Klein said she was "amazed" at the support she received.
"I've got these nice letters, emails, Facebook messages," she said. "It's like, wow, there's a whole world out there that I didn't know. It's really awesome."
The publicity over Klein's case - an adult apparently being bullied by youths - adds a twist to a recent surge in awareness that has brought the problem of bullying from the classroom to the stage and screen to the White House.
In September, after 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer, not far from Rochester, killed himself after complaining about being bullied about his sexuality, pop singer Lady Gaga decried the loss of another life to bullying. She tweeted to millions of followers that she would take her concerns to President Barack Obama.
This year, the White House held a conference on bullying prevention, estimating that it affects 13 million students, or about a third of those attending school. Obama said he hoped to "dispel the myth that bullying is just a harmless rite of passage or an inevitable part of growing up. It's not."
In April, the documentary film "Bully" examined the problem by following five kids over the course of a school year.
In Klein's case, she didn't report the bullying, but school officials notified police when they learned of it. The school may take disciplinary action. A school district bullying-and-violence-prevention response team is investigating.
The district in suburban Rochester is the ninth largest in the state. Other videos of the verbal assault have also been posted.

PORTLAND — It looks like Old Man Winter is dishing out too much for the Maine Polar Dip.
The approaching snowstorm, which prompted a rare blizzard warning for the coast, prompted organizers to postpone the annual event at Portland's East End Beach to benefit Camp Sunshine.
The charity event for the camp for kids with life-threatening illnesses draws participants from across Maine, and organizers decided to cancel because of nasty travel conditions.
The Maine Polar Dip will now be held on Saturday, March 2. The goal is to raise more than $30,000, enough to send 15 Maine families to Camp Sunshine.

I searched CodeProject and CodeGuru for an Add-In which will do all the basic things. But I failed. Then I decided to make one appropriate Add-Ins which would cover all small basic functions and so the story begins...
I called this utility MoreFast Add-In. Why did I call it this? Use this add-ins and see how fast and easily you can develop code. I haven't developed a lot of functionality but I am sure that whatever I developed is very useful. Because it is available in one place, lots of macros and lots of add-ins are not needed after installing this.
Remove Line Comments: Removes line comments from selected text. If text is not selected then comments is removed from current line (if it exists) and caret goes to next line.
Add Block Comments: Add Block comments to selected text. If text is not selected then command will not executed.
/* .... Selected Lines Comes Between This .... */
Open Project Folder: Open project folder under which you are working. It opens a folder in the explorer window with your project directory.
Count Lines Of Project: Counts total lines (Comments,Empty and Your Code) in your current project. I took this from "Counting Lines in a MS VC++ 6.0 project By _declspec and sfynx". I am supplying LineCounter.exe with my zip file. If _declspec and sfynx has any problem, mail me. I will remove and give path to your zip files, no problem. For proper execution of this commands exe should be in a predetermined path. Please read installation topic.
Switch From H->CPP and CPP->H: This command switches files from the header to cpp and vice versa. Suppose you are working in file MyFile.h. Then execution of this command opens MyFile.cpp. It can switch both ways, so you can also switch from MyFile.cpp to MyFile.h.
Switch Case: Switch Case of Current Text Selection. If You have selected
cDIALOG *M_mYdIALOG;
This command converts all uppercase letter to lowercase and vice versa. so your selection, after execution of this command look like this
CDialog *m_MyDialog;
Format Code: This command indents selected code. This function uses Microsoft format code function (SmartFormat).
Add Code Template: This feature is the best feature of all. This is very useful. Select your code which you use most of times. Then press this button. It will ask you about a friendly name to store your template in the database. For proper usage of this function ensure the database file is in the proper folder. See Installation for further details.
Paste Code Template: This command takes all templates from database and shows you a menu with the friendly names (which you have entered). Select a Friendly name and it will paste the code at the caret position from the database.
Service Pack Version: It will show you the installed service pack for visual C++.
Shows Option Dialog: It will show you the Configuration Dialog. You can set lot of configuration of morefast...
AutoSave: This Feature implement an autosave feature. It saves at a specified time interval. I haven't implemented a Configuration Dialog. So if you want to edit the values of the autosave feature you must set it from option dialog.
Save/Add Files In/From project: This function is useful for user who want to save whole class for future use. You can easily save files by pressing save button. It will display file open dialog. Select files which you want. Click Open button to save that files. For add files in to your project from saved files, click on addFiles Button. It will display list box with saved files. Select files to add and press add to project button.
SomeUtilities: (Updated in Ver 2.50) This Function is very useful now. It contain useful macro to paste information. when you want some code to take in to loop or in define block. Just select block and select from menu. it will place selected loop and selected code under that loop. It contains
This utilities has been updated by Ronald Sanderson. Thanks to him for contributing to MoreFast. Some of this utilities are still under development.
I Register the Database with this code in the OnConnection method. If the Database is already registered, SQLConfigDataSource returns FALSE. But if the Database is not registered then it registers a database named MoreFastCT.
CString dbpath = m_filepath; dbpath = dbpath +"\\ct.mdb"; char* szDesc; int mlen; szDesc=new char[256]; sprintf(szDesc,"DSN=%s* DESCRIPTION=TOC support source* DBQ=%s* " "FIL=MicrosoftAccess* DEFAULTDIR=%s** ", "MoreFastCT",dbpath.GetBuffer(1),m_filepath.GetBuffer(1)); mlen = strlen(szDesc); for (int i=0; i<mlen; i++) { if (szDesc[i] == '*') szDesc[i] = '\0'; } SQLConfigDataSource(NULL,ODBC_ADD_DSN, "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)\0",(LPCSTR)szDesc);
gTimer = new TimerWindow; gTimer->setApplication(pApplication); // This will also start the timer save events based on the initial values gTimer->Create(NULL, "Timer Window", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW & ~WS_VISIBLE); gTimer->setPeriod(5); gTimer->setSaveFiles(TRUE); gTimer->setSaveWorkspace(TRUE);
Dear Friends,I think I have improved a lot of Morefast. And now I think I will freeze it here. Because it will take too much time to make changes on the web . mail me for issues on: firstname.lastname@example.com I will try to resolve and give you binary.

At school in the U.S. Midwest in 1970 Laura Cha Shih May-lung was forced to attend class with a wet towel packed in her bag, just in case there was tear gas on the way and she would have to cover her face.
Arriving at the University of Wisconsin from Hong Kong as a liberal arts major, Cha found herself in a hotbed of anti-Vietnam War protests. It wasn't what she expected, and it definitely impacted her life. "It was a completely new experience for me and for all the other Asians," she says. "It opened our eyes to seeing the world from a different perspective and a different culture." Cha says her unforgettable four years at school didn't really influence her job choices, but that "different perspective" paved the way for a career that spans decades and industries, as well as both the public and private sectors. Now, at 61, she is one of Asia's most influential businesswomen.
Over the years she has sat on the boards of directors of major companies from China Telecom to India's Tata Consultancy Services and global banking giant HSBC, where she is currently a nonexecutive deputy chairman and a director. Her career achievements have gone hand in hand with a philanthropic focus on education. Until mid-September she served as chairwoman of Hong Kong's University Grants Committee, which gives advice on the funding of the territory's eight public universities.
But Cha really made her mark as a regulator in Hong Kong and China. After a career break in the 1970s to give birth to two children and obtain a law degree from Santa Clara University, she first worked for Pillsbury, Madison and Sutro in San Francisco and then Coudert Brothers in Hong Kong, both American law firms. In 1991 she was recruited by the Hong Kong Securities & Futures Commission. Her original contract was for 30 months, "But the work at the SFC was so interesting and challenging that I stayed for ten years," she says.
That work involved setting up a framework for Chinese state-owned companies to float their shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Tsingtao, China's largest brewery, was the first to list in 1993. The company issued 317.6 million so-called H shares, raising $115.5 million. In 2006 Bank of China listed in Hong Kong, raising $9.69 billion. At that time it was the largest IPO in the world since 2000 and the fourth largest ever.
Opening up to Chinese companies transformed the Hong Kong market. "Little did we know that today, in 2011, it would be dominated by Chinese companies," says Cha. At the end of 2010, 592 mainland companies were listed in the territory, accounting for 57% of total market capitalization, or $1.531 trillion, according to Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing, or HKEx, operator of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Cha, who remains a director on the exchange's board, firmly believes Hong Kong has a paramount role to play within China. "A lot of things happen in our market that cannot happen on the mainland. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange raises funds for Chinese companies. It is not possible in Shanghai because the Chinese currency is not fully convertible and the government does not allow foreign investors into the market."
In her role as a regulator Cha became known as the "Iron Lady." "She has strong principles, sets clear goals and follows through until they are achieved," says Mark Dickens, director of listing at HKEx and a former colleague of Cha's at the SFC.
In one example Cha's team stood up to Jardine Matheson, a venerable trading house with roots stretching back to colonial Britain. In the early 1990s Jardine Matheson asked Hong Kong regulators to exempt the company from the takeover and mergers code. The group feared for its interests after the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997. Cha did not personally make the recommendation to refuse the exemption, but as then head of the SFC's corporate finance division she would have played a key role.
After the SFC's decision five companies in the Jardine group delisted from the exchange. Even though the group accounted for about 10% of the stock market capitalization at the time, HKEx's Dickens says, "The reaction in Hong Kong was very positive because we stood firm to show that Hong Kong could be an international financial center with principles." He says Cha wanted to make the point that Hong Kong would brook no interference from either China or the U.K. He remembers her using the term, "Without fear, without favor."
David Webb, a shareholder activist in Hong Kong and a former director of the HKEx, says Cha's team was not being especially tough in refusing the Jardine group's request. He says, "It would have been outrageous to grant the exemption given that these companies had such a large shareholder base in Hong Kong."
In 2001 Cha moved to the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the mainland regulatory body. As its vice chairman she was the first nonmainlander to serve the central government of the People's Republic of China at the vice ministerial level. She introduced corporate governance reforms to "raise the level of quality of the professionals in the market." That included requiring company boards to devote a third of their seats to independent directors and introducing a qualifying exam for sponsors of initial public offerings. "It was intended to screen off those who had scant knowledge of what sponsorship was about," Cha explains.
While at the CSRC Cha contributed most of her salary to an education and training fund for staff. "It was very noble of her," says Gao Xiqing, vice chairman and president of China Investment Corp., the sovereign wealth fund that manages China's foreign-exchange reserves. He first met Cha in 1985 at Coudert Brothers and was also a colleague at the CSRC.
When Cha resigned from the CSRC in 2004 she replaced the training fund with scholarships she endowed at Yale University's School of Management and the London School of Economics' law department. Both are aimed at students from mainland China with financial needs. "In China people have this desire, this hunger for exposure. They want to learn from the West and see what the world is like," she says.
Cha says she left the CSRC because she felt her job was done and also because she "wanted to come home" to Hong Kong. In 2004 she was appointed a nonofficial member of the Executive Council, the territory's policy-making body. She is also one of the region's delegates to the 11th National People's Congress, which runs until 2013.
Cha's diplomatic skills have likely helped her to navigate Hong Kong's unique political system. HKEx's Dickens says Cha is "very effective at gaining support and consensus by respecting different views and interests."
Balancing a high-powered career and private life with two children has not been easy. "It took good time management and a lot of juggling to manage the kids while I pursued my career," Cha admits. Wei Sun Christianson, Asia Pacific co-CEO and China CEO of Morgan Stanley, says Cha has been a "consistent supporter of women in the workplace and sensitive to the challenges female employees may face."
For Cha there is no secret formula. "Everybody has a different experience. Young professional women need to decide for themselves when is the right time for what. Yes, you can have everything, but maybe not at the same time."

We are very sorry to have this strict rule in place, but we are financing the whole tournament in advance and are therefore very dependent on the playing and referee fees.
To keep the costs low, we have organized a gym within five minutes walking distance (500m) from the playing fields, where all youth teams can stay from Friday night until Sunday. The costs are 7 EUR per person/per night. Please bring sleeping bags and camping mats.
Breakfast will be organized with the teams who sign up for the gym. Lunch and dinner can be arranged at the restaurant at the field.
The youth players will not have access to the Berlin Open parties. We will be planning an alternative evening program.
All players will need to bring a signed copy of a parental consent and a chaperone agreement form, which will be provided after registration.
Further information on rules, playing mode and all forms will be sent after the registration has been completed.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us. We are looking forward to seeing you at the Berlin Open in 2014!

Video from the 2012 Berlin Open
On June 8th, 2012, The Crease Monkeys attended the Berlin Lacrosse Open with a star-studded squad and a mission to help expand the sport of lacrosse internationally. The Crease Monkeys teamed up with Encore Brand to fundraise for the U19 German National team and to showcase the best talent the sport has to offer to the German people. For every I BALL BERLIN shirt bought at the tournament, Encore Brand donated 5 euros back to the U19 National Team.
The Crease Monkeys were undefeated champions and Encore Brand founder John Christmas won the tournament's MVP. More than anything, they got an unprecedented snapshot of the European lacrosse community and a chance to reach out to the youth participating abroad.
The video was shot and edited by Josh Rottman.
