NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The regular season is winding down but the Lipscomb softball team is still adding a number of firsts to its season.
Saturday it swept Northern Kentucky 10-0 and 6-0 in an Atlantic Sun doubleheader at Draper Diamond at Smith Stadium.
The Lady Bisons, 38-11 overall, 17-8 in the A-Sun, will be out for a series sweep Sunday at 1 p.m. The Norse fell to 4-40, 1-21 with the losses.
The game will also be "Senior Day" with seven players to be honored before the start of the game.
In game one left-hander Ashley Anderson, 19-4, threw her first no-hitter of her collegiate career. She struck out five and did not walk a batter. The game was called after five innings due to the run-rule. She faced only 17 batters with two reaching base on errors.
"Ashley has had some good things going all year," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "She was two batters away from a perfect game. She threw really, really well. That is good for her and good for us knowing it may be her last innings before the A-Sun Tournament."
Also in game one shortstop Bridgette Begle slammed her first home run of the season. She made the most of it as she blasted a grand slam over the left center field fence in the seven-run fourth inning. It was the first grand slam of her career.
The big evening for Begle continued in game two. She was credited with two of the five hits for the Lady Bisons in the game. She also drove in a run.
"Bridgette has really been working hard on her swing," Ryman said. "She has been frustrated a lot this year offensively. She came up with bases loaded in the third inning. She had good contact and flew out to right.
"Sometimes it is easy to get frustrated and depressed in those situations. She looked very calm at the plate. She was attacking good pitches. She wasn't chasing pitches out of the zone. She did a lot of really good things to help herself…things I think she has been working on."
Ryman added that it was great to see Begle respond when she came to the plate in the fourth with the bases loaded again.
"I think getting that big hit kind of relieved a little pressure that maybe she had been feeling," Ryman said. "She turns around in game two and has another great game."
Pitcher Heather Parker entered game one in the fourth inning to fill in at first base for Kristen Sturdivant. Parker started at first in game two. This was her third game in a row to see action at first, but in game one she connected for her first hit of the season. She added another one in game two. She was flawless in the field with a combined nine putouts and one assist.
"She played at first a little last year," Ryman said. "She practiced a lot there in the fall. But this spring it had been awhile since she had practiced there until earlier this week. She picked it back up pretty quickly."
Ryman wanted Sturdivant to rest as much as she can this weekend in order to be at top form in the tournament.
"We are comfortable with Heather over there both offensively and defensively," Ryman said. "She had pretty good at bats in both games.
"Heather is not going to provide the same type of power we have with Kristen. But if Heather can provide quality at bats and move runners we will get something good out of her in the lineup."
Brittany Elmore drove in two runs with a single to left field in the fourth inning of game two. Elmore finished with a combined three steals.
Brianne Welch put the Lady Bisons on the scoreboard first in the third inning of the second game with an RBI-double. She added a second run in the inning when she stole home.
Tanner Sanders, 11-4, scattered five hits and struck out six. She did not walk a batter in the complete game win in the nightcap.
"I thought Tanner did a really nice job," Ryman said. "She was in the zone early. She wasn't working from behind a lot.
"Throwing the full seven was good to see. She did a nice job of going at hitters and using her defense."
Approximately 15 minutes before the start of Sunday's game Lipscomb will honor Anderson, Begle, Parker, Sturdivant, Haley Elliott, Kelsey Cartwright and Rena' Cothron.
"We think it will be a fun, exciting day," Ryman said. "But I am sure it will be a little bit emotional.
"Those seven have been on a long journey together. Two of them (Kelsey Cartwright and Parker) transferred in, but the other five have been here for the long haul. They are an extremely close group. They are seven good ones."

HBO took a more subtle approach with the tagline on the recently released character posters for Season 4 of Game of Thrones, but they got straight to the point in the official key art for the upcoming season of the beloved fantasy drama. "All Men Must Die," the text reads beneath the image of the three-eyed raven in flight...
HBO shared the new poster today. Translated in High Valyrian, "All Men Must Die" is "Valar morghulis," which are the words featured on some of the character photos we saw earlier this week. Here's Tyrion's poster... But don't take our word for it as far as the translation goes, HBO offered this meme on their Facebook page yesterday: Post by Game of Thrones. The premium cable network has been regularly sharing photos and video to whet our appetite for the series' return, including this teaser, which shows Tyrion imprisoned. While Tyrion deals with incarceration, Daenerys may be facing problems with her dragons... Those are just the teases. Here's the full trailer for Season 4... Game of Thrones Season 4 premieres Sunday, April 6 at 9:00 p.m. ET on HBO.

Yet again, it falls to international outlets to expose what the Canadian mainstream media doesn't want you to see. Here's a report from Iran's state-run Press TV laying out all the cold, hard facts about the mass abduction and trafficking of Aboriginal children in Alberta.
Yes, you read that right.
Press TV's intrepid reporter Joshua Blakeney tells us that Alberta's newly-formed counter-terrorism agency INSET regularly conducts raids on the homes of Aboriginal families and removes the children. This is "a money-making scheme" according to a veiled woman in the report who says the kids are "sold into adoption" as part of the government's plans to destroy native culture.
Holy crow! How do we stop this? Oh, what's that? Apparently there's no evidence that this actually happens, ever? Hmm.
As it turns out, Blakeney isn't just some out-of-work college grad who decided to work for Iran's propaganda machine. He apparently has a history of, um, colourful views. The National Post's Jonathan Kay has previously written about the British-born Blakeney's involvement with 9/11 Truthers and some anti-Semitic groups. At one point, he was even collecting government money to pursue research into "the real story" about the 9/11 attacks.
(Here's a lengthy recorded interview with Blakeney talking about the supposed 9/11 conspiracy on public access television in B.C.)
Blakeney's latest bizarre report comes in the same week as the #IdleNoMore protests, in which Aboriginal Canadians across the country took to the streets with lots of real concerns about treaty rights, the environment, self-governance, etc. The last thing anyone needs is for Iranian scare-mongering about child abductions.
Joshua: you're not helping.

Story highlights
- Ken Nedimyer is helping to restore dying coral reefs in the Florida Keys
- He and his group are growing coral in nurseries before transplanting them to the wild
- Nedimyer: Coral reefs are critical to marine life, many economies
- Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2012 CNN Heroes
It was more than 40 years ago, but Ken Nedimyer still remembers the first time he went diving in the Florida Keys.
"It was just the most magical place I'd ever been to," said Nedimyer, 56. "The coral reefs were so pretty. So many fish and so many neat things to see."
Nedimyer became a commercial fisherman and tropical fish collector, working in the ocean nearly every day of the year. But by the mid-1980s, he noticed a troubling trend.
Two of the region's most important corals, staghorn and elkhorn, were in drastic decline. The corals -- tiny, stationary marine animals that make up the reefs -- were dying because of many reasons, including climate change, pollution and overfishing, experts said.
Today, they're on the endangered species list.
"The coral reefs of the Florida Keys are the most threatened and the heaviest-used coral reefs in the world," said Billy Causey, southeast regional director of the National Marine Sanctuaries, an entity of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Reefs are often referred to as the rainforests of the sea. They attract more marine life than anywhere else in the ocean because of the natural shelter they provide. But they're declining worldwide, not just in Florida, and some scientists fear that they could all be gone by 2050.
"Coral reefs provide protection for our coastal areas, habitat for fish and recreational opportunities for millions and millions of people," Nedimyer said. "It's very important to protect that whole ecosystem."
Reefs also have great economic value. Many people around the world depend on fisheries and the ocean for their livelihood. In the Florida Keys alone, more than 50 percent of the local economy is connected to a healthy marine environment.
"If coral reefs died completely, entire economies would be disrupted," Nedimyer said.
As Nedimyer saw reefs die over the years, he became very concerned.
"It became a consuming passion (for me) to try to find ways to protect and restore coral reefs," he said.
That passion led to Nedimyer starting the Coral Restoration Foundation, which has grown more than 25,000 staghorn and elkhorn corals in underwater nurseries. He and his staff of volunteers work three days a week maintaining the nurseries just off Key Largo. The nurseries cover more than an acre of the ocean floor.
"Ken's coral nursery is the largest in the wider Caribbean," Causey said. "It's probably 10 times larger than any others that I know of."
Nedimyer's methods for growing corals have evolved over the years, but they're all simple, easily duplicated and can be taught to anyone who can dive, he said.
After the corals spend about a year growing in the nursery, they are transplanted to a reef in the wild. The goal is to get them to reproduce on their own and repopulate an area where they no longer exist.
"We've been able to recreate one of the biggest thickets in the Florida Keys of staghorn coral, and that's something we can duplicate throughout the Keys and throughout the Caribbean," Nedimyer said.
Through education and awareness, Nedimyer has built a community committed to bringing coral reefs back to the Keys. His organization often collaborates with other groups, including the NOAA and the Nature Conservancy, a nonprofit conservation group. Nedimyer also spends a lot of time showing high school students his methods and working with them at his nurseries.
"This isn't just about me," Nedimyer emphasized. "It's about engaging a lot of people and training people, and I think it has a lot of hope."
The impact is already noticeable in areas where corals have been transplanted. Fish and other marine life are starting to come back, and Nedimyer is hopeful that in time, the Keys' ecosystem will recover.
"Most people think coral takes forever to grow, but some of these corals grow really fast," he said. "They grow fast enough that we could make a big difference in a lifetime or less."
Nedimyer's most ambitious project is just ahead. Within the next five years, the Coral Restoration Foundation plans to grow and transplant 50,000 corals in the Keys, which he says is the largest effort of its kind in Florida and the Caribbean.
"Before, I felt helpless watching corals die," Nedimyer said. "Now I think there's a way for everybody to get involved. There's hope."

text: For much of its history as a public company, FactSet (NYSE:FDS) shares have frustrated the value and GARP crowds. Now the shares look more reasonably valued, but the cause is yet another reason for concern. With sluggish employment trends in the financial sector and worries about competition from the likes of Bloomberg, McGraw Hill Financial's (NYSE:MHFI) S&P Capital IQ, now growth appears to be an issue for the company. While the company is likely to do better over the long term, investors considering these shares today need to be prepared for a little more volatility than with the average equity.Fiscal Third Quarter Results Look Pretty OrdinaryAlthough FactSet didn't miss this time out, there weren't any particular signs of re-acceleration in the business, and management confirmed that market conditions remain pretty challenging.Revenue rose about 6% as reported, or close to 5% on an organic basis. While the user count was basically flat on a sequential basis, the annual subscription value (ASV) increased almost 7% from the year-ago level, while remaining flat on a sequential basis. Even with the revenue growth, FactSet is finding it difficult to grow its margins. Gross margin fell almost two points form the year-ago and about 20bp sequentially. Operating income was up about 5% from last year (and down slightly on a sequential basis), with operating margin down relative to both periods.SEE: Analyzing Operating MarginsCompetition Isn't Getting Any EasierAlthough providing data and analytics services to the financial industry is a pretty lucrative proposition (the company's operating margin is above 33%, as is the trailing return on capital), it's an intensely competitive business. To that end, neither Bloomberg nor S&P Capital IQ are easing off their efforts to build their businesses. Bloomberg in particular seems focused on adding functionality and growing the data sets available in its fixed income platform. While Bloomberg is more expensive than FactSet in this market, the greater functionality of Bloomberg makes it more challenging for FactSet to get users to switch.Thomson Reuters (NYSE: TRI) is another interesting case from a competitive standpoint. Although FactSet has been doing pretty well against TRI on balance, the introduction of the new Eikon platform for investment management could generate some interest. Likewise, I continue to believe that Morningstar (Nasdaq: MORN) may be an underrated emerging competitor in the field; it's history is much more retail-oriented, but it looks like the company is bulking up its professional offerings and increasingly targeting the professional market(s).FactSet Needs Better Sector Employment, And That's Not Coming SoonCompetitive share gain clearly matters in this industry, but so too does the absolute level of hiring and employment in the financial services industry. Unfortunately, I see little reason to expect a big near-term improvement. Almost every bank with a trading, investment banking, or asset management operation, ranging from Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) to U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) is talking about trying to reduce labor costs and staffing levels.Moreover, it's not as though the buy-side is able to gobble up all of this newly surplus workers. While it's too simplistic to say that near-record levels for the stock market and strong trading activity ought to be good for the banks, the reality is that it's not stimulating any particular hiring wave in the sector.The Bottom LineFactSet has generally been overvalued for so long that it's tempting to pounce on the shares now that they're more reasonably valued. Still, I suspect that the markets are going to react pretty dramatically to the quarterly updates regarding subscriber numbers, ASVs, and so on – meaning that these shares could bounce around quite a bit around quarterly earnings. Across the longer term, though, I do believe this company can grow revenue at roughly 8% rate, with broadly similar growth in free cash flow.That level of growth suggests a fair value for FactSet shares of about $98.50. More or less in line with the current price, FactSet doesn't seem like much of a bargain apart from the fact it has often historically traded at an even higher premium. A decent enough stock for the long haul, I can't really summon up much enthusiasm for the shares as a buy or sell at today's price.

Body Mass Index (BMI) for Adults
Adapted from: U.S. National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute; U.S. National Institutes of Health (2000). The Practical Guide: Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults. (NIH Publication No. 00-4084). Available online: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/prctgd_c.pdf
Use the chart to locate your height and weight. The shaded regions on the chart correspond to normal and overweight ranges based on body mass index (BMI). Keep in mind that this is only a guide. It is not a tool to determine ideal body weight. It is a tool to help you see whether your weight is increasing your risk for disease. People who are very muscular or those who have very little muscle may not get an accurate BMI by using their height and weight alone. Muscle weighs more than fat, so a muscular person may appear to have a higher BMI, or a frail, inactive person may have more body fat than is healthy.
For adults 20 years and older:
- A BMI below 18.5 (shown in white) is considered underweight.
- A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 (green) is considered healthy.
- A BMI of 25 to 29.9 (yellow) is considered overweight.
- A BMI of 30 or higher (red) is considered obese.
- A person who has a large change in BMI, even if he or she is not overweight or underweight, should be evaluated to find the cause. If you are Asian, your health may be at risk with a lower BMI.1
A clinical diagnosis of obesity also includes a determination of your waist circumference and risk factors.
- If you are within the healthy BMI range and your waist measurement is lower than the cutoff, stay at that weight and check your fitness level, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
- In men, a waist circumference greater than 40 in. (101.6 cm) is considered a health risk. Women who have a waist size larger than 35 in. (88.9 cm) are considered at risk. In Asian people, health problems are seen with a smaller waist size. In Asian women, a waist size of 32 in. (80 cm) or more raises the chance for disease. In Asian men, a waist size of 36 in. (90 cm) or more raises the chance for disease.2
- If you are in the overweight (BMI of 25 to 29.9) or obese (BMI of 30 or higher) category and your waist measurement is higher than the cutoff level, talk to your doctor about other risk factors you may have, including type 2 diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and being inactive. If you have two or more risk factors, your doctor will probably advise you to lose weight and to change your eating and physical activity habits to reduce your risk factors for blood vessel disease, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and coronary vascular disease (CVD).

NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez has sued Major League Baseball and its players' union, seeking to overturn a season-long suspension imposed by an arbitrator who ruled there was "clear and convincing evidence" he used three banned substances and twice tried to obstruct the sport's drug investigation.
As part of the lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Manhattan, Rodriguez made public the 33-decision by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.

The Japanese company whose slogan is "zoom zoom" has tended to zag when competitors like Honda and Toyota have zigged, and as of July 2014 has no hybrids or EVs. But before you think to adopt an attitude over this apparently recalcitrant player, Mazda tends to have a high average mpg score across its lineup and has no real gas guzzlers or trucks to pull it down. As such, without electrification, it topped the EPA's 2013 most fuel efficient manufacturer list over 10 other automakers. Mazda credits it's "biggest R&D program ever," as "SKYACTIV" technology, defined as "a blanket term for Mazda's innovative new-generation technologies that are being developed under the company's long-term vision for technology development, Sustainable Zoom-Zoom," says the automaker. In other quarters, spy photos have surfaced of potential hybridization in recent years, and a plug-in Mazda2 possibly using a rotary range extender appears possible. The company also is looking at diesel, but will likely include electrification sooner or later.

"You've always been a bit too in your head, I suppose. Controlled. Careful. Mechanical, might be the best word for it. But in those auditions—you were living in the moment. You were feeling instead of thinking. I saw shades of emotion in you—strength and vulnerability, desire and disgust, hope and shame—that were quite simply captivating. I don't know what you're doing or what you've done, but please continue. You're much better when you make bold choices."

Rameau Reviews: Losing it - Cora Carmack
37 comments:
WOW! This doesn't sound like a very good read at all. Very fair and to the point review :)
ReplyDeleteDUh duh duh.... a one star read with an immature girl and a professor who is lame... I think I will pass.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThat's a wise choice. Aside from the bad writing, I was annoyed that the lure factor—the age gap—was unnecessarily mitigated with all the hints to his youthful looks. I bought the book *because* I wanted to read a taboo relationship romance... and I've only now realised I didn't mention it in my review and I'm instead ranting about it in the comments. Sorry.
Well from the start I had a problem with the synopsis so I don't think I would have read this one but I'm sorry you didn't like it....
ReplyDeleteoooh you really didn't like this one lol
I liked the beginning and thought it was funny but I thought the end got very convoluted - the illness thing was weird.
I agree with the BRITISH BOY thing. I'm not sure why authors feel this explains everything we need to know.I don't think I'd like this one either. The title and cover just didn't even grab me, but I'm glad that it didn't romanticize a psychopath because that is what I worried about.
ReplyDeleteTo me British accent is the same as saying New York Accent, since someone from the Bronx's sounds entirely different then someone from Manhattan. However, I imagine his accent to sound like a British actor I adore..and whose voice I think is smexy. I actually really enjoyed this and had a good laugh. So sorry you didn't enjoy this one, and I enjoyed reading your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteA great review but you already know what I think of your reviews. :) And, having read the book myself, I completely agree with your assessment as well. British accent, pffffft...
ReplyDeleteUgh. I think I will pass... Sorry that you didn't enjoy like you wanted to.
Happy reading with <3, Brandi @ Blkosiner's Book BlogYikes! I'm sorry that you spent good money on this one. I am not a prude but I hate that cover!
ReplyDeleteNot really worth reading then I guess. Perhaps as an audio book the BRITISH ACCENT would be more important or persuading. Sorry you wasted your time with a book you cannot like.
ReplyDeleteI had similar issues with this book. I hated that she was being shamed for being a virgin. She was being pushed to do it by her shit friend Kelsey instead of being it how she wanted. I hated Kelsey as a character, she literally is the worst. One thing that really bugs me with this is that if Garrick knows he's a professor and can't date students then why doesn't he ask Bliss if she may happen to be a student at the same school. WHY? Realistically it doesn't make sense but I guess romance novels are rarely realistic.

Kinda feel bad for Nolan Schaefer after a 2-0 WBS win over Providence tonight. Schaefer stopped 79-of-83 shots (.952) in two games against the Penguins in the last week and all he has to show for it is one point from an OT loss last Saturday night.
The bottom line is Providence has some decent players and they're well coached and they work hard — that's why both games were close — but they frankly don't have the horses to run with the Penguins right now.
The Penguins got goals from Brett Sterling on a power-play wrister in the second period and Geoff Walker from a bad angle in the third, and that was enough for Brad Thiessen, who made 20 saves to improve to 18-3 with his third shutout of the season.
The most noteworthy stretch of the game came with the Penguins leading 1-0 late in the second period and Providence on a 5-on-3 power play for 57 seconds. Dustin Jeffrey stole a puck, took off on a breakaway and was held by Colby Cohen to make it a 4-on-3 advantage for the P-Bruins at 14:58. On the next shift, Jeffrey stole another puck, took off on another breakaway and was held again, this time by Adam Bodnarchuk at 15:15 to make it 3-on-3.
In other words, Jeffrey wiped out a two-man advantage all by himself in 17 seconds. That's amazing.
Ryan Schnell's AHL debut will have to wait at least another day as he took warm-ups but was scratched when Keven Veilleux returned to the lineup.
We have a correspondent in Providence tonight, so check out tomorrow's paper for his report. The Penguins move on to Adirondack tomorrow night having won six in a row.
Bye for now,

Fat 2 Fit #120 – Excess Skin After Weight Loss
TweetWritten on March 9, 2011 – 5:18 pm | by Russ Turley
Today on the show we do the rare Fat 2 Fit interview. This time it's with an individual, Jonathan Karpetz, that lost an immense amount of weight. Unfortunately for Jonathan, his skin did not bounce back. A few years ago, he went on a crash diet and lost weight fast and that may have had an impact on his skin returning to it's proper place. He's mended his ways and now lives the lifestyle of a thin healthy person and recently had surgery to remove the excess skin that then sagged on his body. It's a must listen.
Our email this week comes from listener Dina. She's giving up the scale. She says that she's realized that in the long term, it doesn't matter what she weights and is instead focusing on living the healthy lifestyle she deserves. We put this question to all the listeners on Facebook and got some great responses. Could you give up weighing yourself and instead only consider body fat percentage?

Blurb kudos will whiplash the yuks out of you
FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, the Reel Life column has been handing out awards to the most lavish critics' blurbs used in newspaper and TV ads. But there's been a recent dramatic development in filmland: Blurb buffs may have noticed that "The Waterboy" has earned $159 million domestically — without ever using a single ad quote from critics.
Which means only one thing: Though nearly every studio uses critics quotes, they are not necessary for a film's success. Which means only one thing: Studios continue to use these quotes for nearly every film not to lure in audiences, but in the hopes of nabbing one of these prestigious Reel Life awards. Since these critics have obviously worked very hard to win a prize, we can't disappoint them. This is the height of awards season, and here are the awards that hit the heights. PREMATURE EXCLAMATIONS David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor — " 'The 24 Hour Woman' ranks with the most entertaining releases of the year." (Feb. 12, 1999) James Wilson, Fox TV, St. Louis, "8MM" — "This year's most powerful thriller!" (Feb. 21) Maria Salas, Telenoticias, "Cruel Intentions" — "One of the most fun movies of the year." (Feb. 28) BODY FUNCTIONS Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune — " 'Beloved' will swim in your bloodstream and echo through your bones." Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, "Whatever" — "It's still in my veins and buzzing through my head!" WHY, IT SOUNDS IRRESISTIBLE! Maria Salas, CBS Telenoticias, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" — "You'll never stop screaming." Stephen Hunter, Washington Post, "The Impostors" — "From tee-hee to guffaw to Please-give-me-my-embolism-NOW-and-put-me-out-of-my-misery, the movie whiplashes the yuks out of you." AND IT'LL TAKE INCHES OFF YOUR WAISTLINE! Stephan Talty, Time Out New York, "Madeline" — "It will take three years off your age and add three months to your life. It guarantees happiness." NAH, GIMME ALL THE SCENES AT ONCE Stephan Talty, Time Out New York, "First Love, Last Rites" — "A perfectly realized indie that has to be savored one scene at a time." MINORITY OPINIONS Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle, "BASEketball" — "The funniest film unleashed on our sensibilities this year!" Dan Deevy, WNYU, "Dead Man on Campus" — "The best college movie since 'Animal House' " Paul Clinton, CNN, "Simon Birch" — "One of the best movies of the year." Larry King, USA Today — " 'Meet Joe Black' is what great movies are all about!" POWERFUL, PROVOCATIVE Paul Wunder, WBAI Radio, "Bad Manners" — "Powerful and provocative." Paul Wunder, WBAI-FM Radio, "Beloved" — "Extraordinarily powerful and provocative." Paul Wunder, WBAI Radio, "At First Sight" — "A unique and powerful romance … very provocative." THE CLOUDED CRYSTAL BALL Rod Lurie, KABC-Radio, "Apt Pupil" — "It is brilliant, and will be a major Oscar contender." Jan Wahl, KRON TV, "Digging to China" — "It's Oscar time for Kevin Bacon and director Tim Hutton." CBS Radio, "The Mighty" — "It's Oscar time for everyone involved." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone, "Beloved" — "The Oscar race heats up with Jonathan Demme's triumphant 'Beloved.' " Henry Sheehan, Orange County Register, "The General" — "There is little doubt that (Brendan) Gleeson will be nominated for an Oscar!" MOST BLATANT ATTEMPT TO WIN A REEL LIFE AWARD Kathryn Kinley, WPIX, "Analyze This" (Feb. 19, 1999) — "The best film of the year and the funniest comedy in a decade."

"I've started telling my daughters I'm beautiful"
"I've started telling my girls that I think I'm beautiful. It's been so easy to tell them how beautiful THEY are, because it's obvious. They are the thing beauty is made of. They are the reason we started worshipping beauty. They sparkle and dance. When they're sleeping, they turn into soft cloud babies, little perfect tufts of white on the moonlight.
There are a lot of people like me. Women who know things. Women who have seen things. Women with diseases in their livers. There are a lot of women with scars on their arms and words that carry themselves like sparrows. There are women who were too big for this town, who had their backs bent carrying things like religion and a history that originated somewhere in the crook of a branch that extended over a stream. A place where a patch of the sky was visible through the leaves, where a little girl let her bare leg dangle too far down.
There are a lot of people like me, because we're all the same. We're all blood and electricity. We're lonely under the gaze of god. We're all wet with dew and swallowing hard against DO THIS, CONSUME, SHUT UP and BE AFRAID to die.
All of you women with lines on your brow, with cracks between your fingers it's been a long winter. All of you, you are beautiful and so am I."

11-16-2012, 12:42 PMWith all these nasty remarks about women's appearances, not to mention that apparently one has to meet some celebrity standard to be considered beautiful, I don't find it at all surprising that this woman wants to teach her children that beauty is more than a two dimensional image defined by fashion designers and photographers.

11-16-2012, 01:36 PMI didn't read it that way. I read it that she considers her daughters to be beautiful and wants them to know that beauty endures and changes over time, that the inner beauty must be appreciated as well. I don't see anything wrong with that. I also see that there is some confusion between being beautiful and being sexy. I think that all of the women on Golden Girls were beautiful, and not one of them seemed at all sexy to me.

Film festivals are, traditionally, rather highbrow affairs. Genre-busting films are debuted, cinematic trends are discussed, famous filmmakers are feted and abstract golden statuettes are handed to various French, Senegalese and Kazakhstani directors. It's safe to say that the company behind such movies as Blood Sucking Freaks and Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid would not be sponsoring a film festival of that nature. No, TromaDance New Mexico is not your father's film festival.
Gov. Bill Richardson announced last week the winner of the "New Visions/New Mexico" Contract Awards. Fourteen New Mexico-based film/media projects have received contracts ranging from $5,000 to $20,000. This money will be used by the winning producers, directors and writers to start or complete various narrative, documentary, animated and experimental works. In the Documentary category, the winners were Marcos Baca of Albuquerque (The Zia's Heart); Jimmy Baca of Albuquerque (Rising from the Ashes); Joseph Concha of Taos (Smokey and the Snowballs); Elke Duerr of Albuquerque (Wolves in New Mexico--The Great Divide); Ramona Emerson of Albuquerque (Gambling With Our Future); and Florentina Garnanez of Santa Fe (Yellow Fever). In the Animation category, winners were Catherine Friday of Albuquerque (The Sands of Time) and Kevin Ulrich of Edgewood (The Restoration: Rise of Zerad). In the Narrative category, winners included Jocelyn Jansons of Santa Fe (The Baby Monitor); Riyanka Kumar of Santa Fe (Mercury in Retrograde); Margot Segura of Las Vegas (Lipstick Princess); and Craig Strong of Santa Fe (La Bola Blanca). In the Experimental category, winners were Stephen Ausherman of Albuquerque (Kammer 2.1) and Melissa Henry of Albuquerque (Navajo Wool: As Told By Baa Baa).
One of the first rules of documentary filmmaking is: "Find a great subject." Scott Galloway and Brent Pierson have certainly done that with their sunny-side up character study A Man Named Pearl.
Your hometown alternative paper has run Tony Millionaire's "Maakies" comic strip for ... well, a really damn long time. Now, after, like, a freaking decade or something, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim animation block has turned the cult hit comic into a weekly series. Just goes to show you how far ahead of the curve we are here at the Alibi. Or something.

Lausanne, Switzerland, May 7, 2013 – A successful VCP course for young players was held in Barbados from April 16 to 20.
There were an equal number of girls and boys in the group of 30 players selected to join the programme. The course was led by instructor Jeff Alzina, a former volleyball and beach volleyball player and USA team coach who regularly assists the National Volleyball Federation of Barbados and the Development Centre with its talent programme.
The course included structured training programmes on beach volleyball basics and tactics to help players develop their skills.
The objective of the FIVB Young Players Course is to foster budding talent and to motivate youngsters' future participation in the sport of volleyball at the national and international level.

I do have 3 KW suits with a 4th on the way. The fabric is good quality, better than what I see at Brooks Brothers or any department store. Also, you can order high end fabric from him or send him your own fancy fabric and have a suit made for $750 + fabric cost.

Kidney stones are made of salts and minerals in the urine that stick together to form small "pebbles." They may form when the normal balance of water, salts, minerals, and other substances found in urine changes. How this balance changes determines the type of kidney stone you have. Most kidney stones are calcium-type—they form when the calcium levels in your urine change.

Niedermayer expected to hear call of Hall
It can be argued that no other hockey player has Scott Niedermayer's resume. Saying the championships affixed to his name are a matter of being in the right place at the right time is a show of disrespect.
To be sure, Niedermayer has his enviable list of titles, as well as the fact he also was one of the best defensemen of his or any era. That's why he is expected to be voted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Tuesday in his first year of eligibility.
But former teammate Todd Marchant recalls one of his favorite moments regarding his captain for four of the five seasons he spent with the Ducks was about leadership when it mattered most.
"When he spoke, people listened," Marchant said. "And I'll never forget in the locker room in Ottawa in the (2007) Stanley Cup Final and Daniel Alfredsson shot the puck or didn't shoot the puck at Scotty in (Game 4). You know how our locker room was. We were (angry). We were going to go out and get this guy.
"Scotty came in, very calm, and says, 'You know what? Don't worry about it. We're just going out to focus on the job. The task at hand is greater than what just happened.' He said, 'I know we've got them where we want them. Now we have to just push them.'
"I was (angry). But it was like we can't go out and get revenge. We've got to go out and win a game and win a series and hoist the Stanley Cup. ... We followed him. That's why he deserves to be in the Hockey Hall of Fame."
Now an assistant coach with the Ducks, Niedermayer figures to be one of four players selected to the Hall of Fame. Other notable players who could get the call are Chris Chelios, Brendan Shanahan and Eric Lindros. Former Ducks captain Paul Kariya and former longtime Kings defenseman Rob Blake are also eligible for the first time.
Lou Lamoriello figured he couldn't go wrong with the third pick in the 1991 NHL draft, even though it was clear Lindros wouldn't drop that far. The longtime New Jersey Devils president had a Plan B: Niedermayer.
"Seeing he won the Memorial Cup that year, I don't think there was any choice that we had if he were available, we were going to take him," Lamoriello said. "Lindros was going No. 1. Everyone knew that.
"But Scotty has lived up to everything that we saw potential in. He actually had potential in every area. To me, the most impressive attribute he has was he was a team player."
The Quebec Nordiques took Lindros, who famously never played for them. The San Jose Sharks, picking second, took Pat Falloon, who never starred for them. The Devils grabbed Niedermayer and two franchises would thrive with him.
No other player has won a Stanley Cup; gold in the Olympics, world championship and World Cup tournaments; a Memorial Cup junior title; and a world junior title. Niedermayer has four Cups to his name and has twice worn Olympic gold.
His individual numbers were good but modest — 172 goals and 740 points in 1,263 games. His legacy is winning three titles as a key cog for the Devils and one as the main cog with the Ducks.
The once-mocked franchise made him captain and his teammates readily latched on to his winning pedigree.
"He was brought here by (then-General Manager) Brian Burke to win a Stanley Cup," Marchant said. "No one on our team had ever done it. No one on the coaching staff had ever done it. He was the only one who had. So we followed him."
The Devils have retired his No. 27. The Ducks might do the same one day.
"His accomplishments speak for themselves but his abilities certainly put him into the elite that tomorrow he'll be in the Hall of Fame," Lamoriello said. "I would think he's a shoo-in."

Let's face it - most of us, at some point in our lives, have lusted after a sportscar.
Be it a Ferrari, Porsche or something more modest, the combination of jaw-dropping looks and mind-bending performance is intoxicating.
Sadly, though, for many of us, buying a sportscar can seem a little…out of reach.
More often than not you'd have to sell your house to buy one, and then there's issue of practicality, with anyone needing to move more than two people often putting the sportscar in the 'too hard' basket.
But before you give up on your sportscar dream, flick through this gallery.
It features five cars, and three honourable mentions, that aren't prohibitively expensive (some are positively cheap!) and some that can even ferry four adults.
Which one would you pick?

Washington Connecticut Antiques & Design Show
The 2015 Washington Connecticut Antiques & Design Show will take place Columbus Day weekend, October 9-11, opening with the traditional Preview Night cocktail party on Friday from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. The David Poirier Quartet will perform jazz standards during this opportunity for advance buying and browsing from an impressive assortment of exceptional antiques and contemporary décor.
Continues to Sustain Gunn MuseumGunn Memorial depends in great part upon private contributions in addition to taxpayer dollars. The Antiques & Design Show funds the town's historical museum, a division of Gunn Memorial Library, Inc. This years show will feature 18 dealers from the east coast. Visitors will find larger furnishings, works of art, exquisite jewelry, intimate furniture and decorative accessories. Some of the dealers also produce their own lines or make custom furniture.
Committee member Wilson Henley, a Gunn Memorial Trustee and antiques dealer, says, "Were finding that people are more interested in incorporating contemporary design with antiques and traditional design. We want to loosen up the idea of antiques show and make it less intimidating for buyers who may be on the look-out for items that are stylish yet practical." Dealers participating in the show are carefully selected with this in mind.
This years show pays tribute to Kirsten Peckerman as Honorary Chair. Kirsten was a Gunn Memorial Trustee from 1999 to 2003. She has been a long-time supporter of the institution, as well as a benefactor of the antiques show. For many years she organized a Dealers Dinner on the final evening of set-up before the shows opening, and in 2013 she was the Young Collectors Party underwriter. Executive Director Jean Chapin says, "Kirsten has always exhibited great enthusiasm for the work we do at Gunn. We are honored that she includes us in her philanthropic patronage of the communitys numerous organizations."
The Antiques & Design Show will be held at Washington Primary School, 11 School Street in Washington Depot. Reservations for the Friday evening party are highly recommended. Entrance to the party begins at $125 per person. Daytime show hours are Saturday, October 10, 10 to 5 and Sunday, October 11, 10 to 4. Daily admission to the show is $10, payable at the door.

Montana Master Grillers
Texas All-Stars
May 27–30, 2016
Texas is a state that takes its barbecue very, very seriously. In fact, many consider the meaty goodness that is grilled, smoked and devoured in Texas to be the very definition of barbecue. We at Paws Up couldn't agree more. Which is why we are proud to present Montana Master Grillers (MMG): Texas All-Stars in 2016.
Paws Up will host four of the best Texan barbecue chefs/pitmasters in the business for this year's MMG. The list of represented restaurants for the event reads like a who's who of Texas BBQ: Freedmen's, Hickory, Louie Mueller Barbecue and Smoke. And to enjoy with your BBQ, we will also feature all-star distillers direct from Austin, Texas—Dulce Vida Organic Tequila and Tito's Handmade Vodka.
Like all MMG events, you'll enjoy up-close workshops and feast on all the grilled goods, along with imbibing fine wine, spirits and craft beer. You can also help yourself to an amazing selection of wilderness adventures, listen to live music or simply enjoy your luxurious accommodations when you're not around the grill. It's really a perfect combination—the offerings of the BIG state of Texas under the BIG sky of Montana. And the stars will be burning brightly all weekend long—in the heavens and around the barbecue pits.
*Dinners during Paws Up culinary events are multi-course meals often prepared by guest chefs from around the country. Chefs often cook their own signature cuisine or create meals based on a theme, such as a specific ingredient or holiday. Because these dinners are "chef's choice," there can be absolutely no substitutions or variations from the menu. If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, you are invited to dine with your particular restrictions in mind. If you have strict dietary restrictions, we strongly encourage you to visit Paws Up at a time when our executive chef can cater to your specific needs.

Colorado football coach Mike MacIntyre earned the Grant Teaff National Coach of the Year Award from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes earlier this month after leading San Jose State to its first 10-win season in a quarter century.
CU hired MacIntyre to take over its beleaguered program in December after the Buffs went 1-11 in 2012, the seventh consecutive losing season in Boulder.
"I am honored and humbled to receive this award," MacIntyre said. "It represents a great man and the values I try to uphold. The team and staff at SJSU deserve a lot of credit for this award."
MacIntyre proved at San Jose State he can turn around troubled programs. He inherited a team struggling on the field and in the classroom in 2010 and turned it into a nationally ranked program that won a bowl game to cap this season, albeit after he had left for CU.
San Jose State's only losses this season came to Pac-12 and Rose Bowl champion Stanford and Western Athletic Conference champ Utah State. The Spartans averaged 42 points a game and either tied or broke 36 school and conference records.
The award recognizes a coach who exemplifies Christian principles and is involved in the FCA. It is named in honor of former Baylor coach Grant Teaff, who now serves as the executive director of the American Football Coaches Association.

hahaha I was pretty shock to find that Zest's unison with Agito would provoke a saiyan to come out of Zest...plus he's over "S" rank...I would say Vita in unison mode might or most likely, might not stand a chance over Mr. SSJ Zest the knight!
I would say that Subaru looks like she will get heavily owned in the next episode, seeing her charging into laser fire. Caro can be crying about anything for now until the episode premieres. About the Aces being screwed, yea I guess they aren't as screwed as nearly getting owned by the Number's attacks, but I would say this could be RF6's first defeat in this season. Not to mention the client is watching this battle, and hopefully we get a clue on who this guy is. the Number with the eye patch (forgot her name... sorry) she caught my attention in this episode...and Dieci with her wonderful buster rifle...I guess those two are my favorite in the Number's crew. |

can't forget about Lutecia though, she's pretty near the area where Vivio is and she's about to execute her attack.
Hopefully Zafira will get some screen time fighting maybe Garyuu and Lutecia... So I'm guessing, either Fate or Nanoha will stay with the Forwards and provide back up while the other goes out and help protect RF6's base and Vivio. Hayate will probably help out Vita...but since she used up her limiter permission, she'll be stuck at A rank for now. (she was at "A" rank with the limiter on, right?...I forgot already...) And the prophecy, it looks like the Numbers are trying to knock that tower down. another thing that caught my attention in this episode and it just hit me now, but the date of this incident, its 9/11!!!!!!!! coincidence or did the writers intended to put that in there... |

Not exactly. Chrono can't give her permission again (for now), but Carim can. She certainly won't give it lightly (since it's the last one), but since the situation is really bad, I think she'll accept -- if she manages to get the system working.

There has been no official information on that matter yet, but base on their performance...
I'll say that on average, around AA ranked. But their special skills are clearly S ranked or higher.

We don't know. Bar their unique specialties (( illusion, stealth, speed, shooting power )) which are clearly above AAA-rank at least, we have no gauge on their actual all-rounded capabilities. Heck, some of them may not even have genuine fighting capabilities.
III and VII can be presumed to be at least AA in combat abilities. They were shown of being able to intercept a number of aerial-able mages, and win quickly. IX and XI, well... next episode should be an indicator. IX's at least A, I think, since I can't see Subaru winning and Ginga who was only slightly better was A. Ack. Again. Whatever... btw, Chaos, what did you mean at the Q&A response to the race thing?

If the fireworks start on the 12th, then this fight is going to be a long one...unless the fireworks come earlier than usual. The organ that Uno was playing...could it be a power boost for the numbers or maybe a special computer that will trigger these "fireworks" that are set to go off... Anyone think that by the time the final battle starts, Vice will temporarily come out of retirement and come back to being an ACE rank Sniper shot?? well, since Teana did push his buttons a little too much in this episode, it might spark his interest going into battle for one last time. |

Personally, I don't think they even have a rank, even ignoring the part where they don't exactly use magic. The indications seem to suggest they each have only one Inherent Skill. The power generator and converters are presumably ultra-specialized to perform that one skill. If they were more generalized, it would seem wierd that they don't seem to be able to apply their power to other things - for example, Gunner could not even convert her attack into a fast rapid-firing form when they were getting cornered in Ep12 - surely that would have been useful there... Nor was she able to fly despite being able to do a S class shoot - that would really have been helpful back there.
In raw power they probably are AA-AAA. They can only that one Inherent Skill very well, but one skill not a mage make, so I think the Numbers are, in terms of Mage Capability Coefficient, at best A or even B (and that's because the Inherent Skill is pulling up the average). However, their specialization and power means that if you put all of them together into a coordinated team, they can achieve a Force Combat Coefficient equivalent to a similar number of AAA-S mages. The Force Combat Coefficient will be what makes them a challenge once the suprise wears off (It should have worn off 3 episodes ago already, but TSAB is a bit slow). Their abysmal Mage Capability Coefficient will be what kills them. |

Posted Apr 20, 2007
By Danny Lesandrini
Much has been written about managing recordsets for forms, controls and reports in Microsoft Access databases, but recently I was obliged to develop an application with a slightly new twist that required some creative recordset manipulation. The requirements were as follows:
1. Program must be an ADP (Access Data Project), not an MDB
2. The project persisted its connection to a 'config' SQL Server database
3. All data is stored in several SQL Server 'client' databases
4. Forms must connect to the correct client database at runtime
Are you following this? All databases are contained on a single SQL Server, but the application needs to pull data from any one of several databases at a moment's notice. In some cases, the user requests data from a specific database. Other times, they launch tasks that are database specific and the app must dynamically point to the correct data store.
My first thought was to change the connection property of the ADP application each time the user selected a different database, but this was neither simple nor elegant. Changing connections at runtime is like changing horses in mid-stream ... you are bound to get soaked. I don't care what anyone on the newsgroups say, it cannot be done well. Then when an ADP's connection property is closed, all forms are unceremoniously destroyed. It would take nothing short of an orchestra of smoke and mirrors to obfuscate this from the user ... if it can be done at all.
The final solution ended up being very elegant and reusable. In a nutshell, it includes the following pieces:
By way of example, the screen-shot below shows frmAddress in design mode. This form will require the setting of four recordsets: One for the form's data and three for the combo boxes. Notice that the recordset for one of those combo boxes, cboStateCode, depends upon the value selected in the country option, cboCountryID. Let's see how we can load this form with data!
Note: There is no code download this month. Because the bulk of the code has to do with connections, and since readers will have their own servers and databases, it would not be a simple matter to deploy.
As mentioned above, the first step is to set the overall connection for the ADP. In our scenario, this is set to a config database that contains, among other things, information about the various client databases our application may point to.
The Connection property of the ADP can easily be set at design time and need not be modified by the user. Simply select Connection from the File menu and fill in the values requested by the dialog box.
This dialog includes a "Test Connection" button, but as was once pointed out to me, it's just a placebo. You can only select a database if you enter a valid server and if you have both the server and database name validated, there's really nothing left to test. But if it makes you feel better, click the Test Connection button before closing the dialog box.
According to our requirements above, the source for the client data is determined in a JIT (just in time) fashion. It may be when the user elects to search a particular database or it may be the result of double-clicking a task that is associated with a particular client database, but the bottom line is that you don't know which database to point to until just before the form is opened.
To accommodate this requirement, we created a global string variable, g_ClientCnn, into which we stuff the full connection string to the currently requested client database. So, at the instant a data request is made, we identify the appropriate ClientID and pass it to the sub procedure that sets the connection string. (see code below for specifics)
' Client connect string is saved in this public variable. Public g_ClientCnn As String Public Sub LoadDbsConnectString(ByVal lClientID As Long) On Error GoTo Err_Handler Dim rstTemp As New ADODB.Recordset Dim strSQL As String Dim strDatabase As String Dim strProjCnn As String ' You must hard-code the name of the config database. It will ' be used below to simplify the creation of the new connect string. Const strProjDBS As String = "RecreationConfigDB" ' The config database must include a table to manage client ' database names based on an identifier, such as ClientID. strSQL = "SELECT [DatabaseName] FROM tblClient " & _ "WHERE [ClientID]=" & lClientID rstTemp.Open strSQL, CurrentProject.Connection ' If the client record isn't found, throw an error. Otherwise, ' use the database name to update the connection string variable. If rstTemp.BOF And rstTemp.EOF Then MsgBox "Couldn't locate the database.", vbCritical, "ERROR" Else ' The Replace function simplifies the connection string edit. ' We know that the format of CurrentProject.Connection is ' correct. Simply replace the database name (assuming the ' user's login has permission to both databases.) strDatabase = rstTemp!DatabaseName strProjCnn = CurrentProject.Connection g_ClientCnn = Replace(strProjCnn, strProjDBS, strDatabase) End If Exit_Here: Set rstTemp = Nothing Exit Function Err_Handler: Resume Next End Sub
In addition to a sub procedure to set the connection string, it pays to have one or more functions to load data into recordsets. Below is one of my functions that returns an ADO recordset. I have another that executes a stored proc and another to execute INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements. However, for the task at hand, we need to return an ADO recordset, so the following function will do.
Public Function GetRecordset(ByVal sSQL As String) As ADODB.Recordset On Error GoTo Err_Handler Dim rstTemp As New ADODB.Recordset Dim cnnTemp As New ADODB.Connection ' First open a temporary connection, and then load the recordset. cnnTemp.Open g_ClientCnn rstTemp.Open sSQL, cnnTemp, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic ' This doesn't include any error handling ' You will have to add that to meet your needs. Set GetRecordset = rstTemp Exit_Here: Set rstTemp = Nothing Set cnnTemp = Nothing Exit Function Err_Handler: Resume Exit_Here End Function
Now that we have all the pieces (a project connection, a form and our procedures), it only remains to bring them all together in the Form_Open() event. Be sure that your form has no SELECT statement in the RecordSource property, as it will compete with the code we are about to run. For all intents and purposes, it will appear that the form has no record source while in design mode ... because it doesn't. In fact, it can't point to any tables because the client tables we seek are not even in our config database, to which the ADP is currently connected. The datasets will be dynamically assigned to the form and its controls in the following code.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo Err_Handler Dim strSQL As String Dim lngEmployeeID As Long Dim lngCountryID As Long ' Call a 'Property Get' function to grab EmployeeID ' This will be used to filter the recordset. (You will need to adapt ' this part of the code to match your SQL requirements.) lngEmployeeID = GetEmployeeID() ' Identify SQL to be passed, a stored proc in this case, and ' remember to use the SET command when assigning the recordset. strSQL = "spc_uclAddress @EmployeeID=" & EmployeeID Set Me.Recordset = GetRecordset(strSQL) ' Load record sources for all combo boxes strSQL = "spc_ddlAddressType" Set Me!cboAddressTypeID.Recordset = GetRecordset(strSQL, client) strSQL = "spc_ddlCountry" Set Me!cboCountryID.Recordset = GetRecordset(strSQL, client) ' The list of states depends upon the country. This param ' is passed to the stored proc. (our default is 1 for USA) lngCountryID = Nz(Me.Recordset!CountryID, 1) strSQL = "spc_ddlState @CountryID=" & lngCountryID Set Me!cboStateProvince.Recordset = GetRecordset(strSQL, client) Exit_Here: Exit Sub Err_Handler: Resume Next End Sub
I've known for years that you could slam a recordset into a form or control, but never understood why I'd ever do it. Suddenly, this approach made sense to me. It's also especially useful if and when you want to use SQL Server stored procs in an Access Data Project. This process will undoubtedly work for MDBs, though I didn't actually test it. There are strong opinions out there for and against ADPs, but I have to say that with the methods described in this article, it's been exceedingly simple to use ADO recordsets for everything, but especially when loading data into forms and controls.
