Seaford, VA 23696
Map It!
Seaford Elementary School is a 50,974 square-foot elementary school located in the Seaford area of York County. It was the second school building in the York County School Division (YCSD) to have a geothermal heating and air-conditioning system installed. Originally built in 1962, the roof and the entire heating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system were replaced during a major retrofit in 2001. Some of the retrofit improvements that were completed include:
In 2003, occupancy sensors were installed in the classrooms to turn off the lights when the rooms are unoccupied.
Seaford Elementary School has the distinguished honor of being the first elementary school building in the Commonwealth of Virginia to earn the ENERGY STAR for two consecutive years, 2006 and 2007. Personnel from many other school systems, architects, and professional engineers have toured this facility to observe high performance building measures in operation. The success of this school has been presented in sessions at various regional conferences. YCSD also participates in various Earth Day activities and EPA's ENERGY STAR Change a Light campaign.
"Today, Seaford Elementary students and staff enjoy better indoor air quality and additional space provided by the gymnasium. Maintenance staff reports that the geothermal heating and air-conditioning equipment has been extremely reliable. Compared with the average utility cost for schools in Virginia, which is approximately $1.25 per square foot per year, the YCSD school board is operating the building for only about $.70 per square foot per year."

Brown quotes two sections of the government code that he says give him the right to block the strike while the board he appointed conducts an investigation. The board is made up of chairman Jacob Appelsmith - the current director of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and a former special assistant to the California Attorney General, Robert Balgenorth - the current San Francisco Director of Human Resources and Micki Callahan-the president emeritus of the State Building and Construction Trades Council.
Brown urged both sides to work together to avoid a work stoppage.
His letter announcing the appointment of the board is below:
Ms. Grace Crunican
General Manager, San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District
P.O. Box 12688
Oakland, CA 94604
Ms. Antonette Bryant
President, ATU Local 1555
132 Ninth Street, Suite 100
Oakland, CA 94607
Ms. Roxanne Sanchez
President, SEIU 1021
100 Oak Street
Oakland, CA 94607
Ms. Jean Hamilton
AFSCME, Local 3993
80 Swan Way, Suite 110
Oakland, CA 94621
Dear Ms. Crunican, Ms. Bryant, Ms. Sanchez, and Ms. Hamilton:
At the request of the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, I am appointing a board to investigate the threatened strike that would disrupt public transportation services in the Bay Area. This board is appointed under the authority of Government Code, § 3612, subdivision (a), because the strike will significantly disrupt public transportation services and will endanger the public's health, safety, and welfare.
The three individuals appointed to the board of investigation are:
Jacob Appelsmith, Chairman
Robert Balgenorth
Micki Callahan
The Government Code prohibits any strike or lockout while the board completes its investigation. (Gov. Code, § 3612, subd. (b).)
The board is directed to provide me with a written report within the next seven days. For the sake of the people of the Bay Area, I urge - in the strongest terms possible - the parties to meet quickly and as long as necessary to get this dispute resolved.
Edmund G. Brown Jr.

Marlies Outdoor Game
August 30, 2011
Marlies to Play in Their Franchises' First Outdoor Game in Hamilton during 2011-12 Season
The Toronto Marlies will travel to Hamilton's Ivor Wynne Stadium to play the Bulldogs outdoors on Saturday, January 21 at 1:00 p.m. This will mark the first time in AHL history that a Canadian team has held an outdoor game.
"This will be a week-long celebration of hockey, with an NHL and AHL alumni game, local minor hockey games, culminating with a battle between the Bulldogs and the Marlies on January 21st. It is our chance to showcase what a great hockey community Hamilton is," said Michael Andlauer, Hamilton Bulldogs Owner and Chairman.
The outdoor contest will be in the middle the Marlies second longest road trip of the season, which begins on January 10 in St. John's. Toronto plays the Bulldogs in Hamilton three times during the seven game swing, including the outdoor game on the 21st.
The Bulldogs will be attempting to break the AHL attendance record, which is 21,508 set at the AHL's Outdoor Classic in Syracuse on February 20 at the New York State Fairgrounds. Ivor Wynne Stadium, home of the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats, has a maximum capacity of 29,600. Last season the Providence Bruins defeated the Connecticut Whale 5-4 in a shootout in the AHL's Outdoor Classic game at Rentschler Field in East Hartford in front of 15,234 fans.
"Hockey fans in Southern Ontario are in for a terrific experience as the American Hockey League goes outdoors for the first time in Canada," said AHL President and CEO David Andrews. "Historic Ivor Wynne Stadium has been the site of many great Hamilton-Toronto games in the CFL, and now the Hamilton Bulldogs and Toronto Marlies will bring their intense pro hockey rivalry to what could be an all-time record AHL crowd."
Tickets will go on sale for the outdoor game to the public on Tuesday, October 11 at 10:00 a.m. Further ticket information will be announced at a later date.

PARROT : FEATHERED :: soup : liquid The best answer is soup. The relationship between the first pair of words, PARROT and FEATHERED, is descriptive—one word describes the other word. Therefore, the second pair of words must also have a descriptive relationship. Liquid describes soup. |

At first glance I felt Minny at home would be the play here. After further review you look at Haucks Rebs who are bringing back a deep and experienced squad and all of a sudden the 14 points looks tempting to me.
Minnesota - 34 UNLV - 23

Syndicated Columnist
Ever since Islamists took office in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, they have been trying to convince us that they are advocates of moderation, democracy, women's rights and individual freedoms. And most people in the West, after jubilantly watching the Arab Spring's amazing revolutions last year, wanted to believe them.
But now we can see that these Islamic groups are taking us for fools.
In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood promised that it would not field a candidate for president. But then this month it went back on its word and put Khairat al-Shater, a wealthy businessman, on the ballot.
Defending that broken promise, one Muslim Brotherhood leader after another explained that they changed their mind to save Egypt's budding democracy, in jeopardy now because of the military's reluctance to step aside.
If that is so, then how do you explain the speech Shater gave in Alexandria last year in which he disparaged the whole idea of Western democracy and its social conventions, calling them the enemy of Islam — including the concept of elections, even though he is now running in one. Voting for your leader, he said, is un-Islamic.
After Egypt adopted a Western education system, courts and a capitalist economy, Shater complained, "the various aspects of our lives are no longer based on Islam." He would institute Sharia law and ensure that "every aspect of life is to be Islamized."
So are we to believe that Shater, if elected, would abandon the life philosophy he espoused last year and follow Western examples that he abhors?
Today, Shater is not advertising his actual views. But another candidate, an ultra-conservative with a large following, Hazem Abu Ismail, is less reticent. He advocates stoning adulterous women and cutting off the hands of thieves. Ismail also called for canceling the peace treaty with Israel and curtailing relations with the United States. But in a deliciously ironic twist, he appears to be disqualified from running — because his mother was American.
Think for a moment about what has actually happened. Youths with modern ideas, resulting in part from what they've learned online, were the engines of the revolts that threw the dictators out of office. But when elections came, most people voted for what they knew. That's not democracy; none of those states have any significant history of that or exposure to it from their neighbors. For Egyptians, Tunisians, Libyans, the haven from brutal dictatorship has been religion. So, not surprisingly, they elected religious leaders.
But now all of these countries are in one way or another beholden to the West. Egypt gets at least $1.3 billion in American aid each year. The U.S. and NATO fought to help Libyans overthrow Moammar Gaddafi. Tunisia has strong trade relations with the West and receives significant aid from Washington. So it's no wonder these candidates and leaders are talking out of both sides of their mouths.
Imagine if an American politician — a mayor, a governor, a congressman — was thrust suddenly into a leadership position in a deeply Islamic state. The American would find he had to talk the talk. But in his heart would he ever be able to abandon the democratic ideals that have served as the foundations of his life? Certainly not.
As Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, Libya's interim leader, took office last fall, he thanked NATO, and then let slip that he believed Libya should legalize polygamy, an element of Sharia law.
That set off a furor. Nonetheless, a short time later he said his views are "moderate" but then added: "As a Muslim country, we have adopted the Islamic Sharia as the main source of law. Accordingly, any law that contradicts Islamic principles with the Islamic Sharia is ineffective legally."
In Tunisia, Sayyed al-Firjani, a senior member of the Islamic party that dominates the government, told Al Arabiya television a few days ago that "we want to solve people's problems and build a democracy." All of it will be based on "values we cherish, including Islam."
His interviewer asked him whether those comments were simply "a means to evade using the word 'Sharia.'"
"I disagree with this insistence on sticking to specific words," he retorted.
Since Hosni Mubarak fell from power in Egypt last year, the Muslim Brotherhood has repeatedly promised moderation and vowed not to "monopolize political institutions in the new Egypt." But right now a committee is forming to write a new constitution. The "moderate" Brotherhood controls the parliament and tried to stack the committee's membership so that it held a controlling majority. On Tuesday, however, a court blocked the effort.
We should never have believed them.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
If President Obama wished to treat U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's television blitz blaming the terrorist attack on our Benghazi consulate upon an anti-Muslim YouTube video as a coming out debut in advance of a Secretary of State appointment, as it turned out, that decision didn't do her any favors. Some influential members of Congress believe that her false statements, adding to a poor career performance history, raise serious doubts about her trustworthiness in dealing with critical matters of state.
Commenting on "Fox and Friends", Senator John McCain said: "Susan Rice should have known better and if she didn't know better, she is not qualified. I will do everything in my power to block her from being the United States secretary of state."
Senator Kelly Ayote (R-NH) told CNN's Wolf Blitzer after she, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Senator McCain met with Rice, pledged that she would also put a hold on Rice's nomination if it came to the Senate, at least until all of the questions surrounding Benghazi had been answered. Senator Graham added that Rice is "disconnected to reality", and is disqualified for a "promotion" to secretary of state.
Republican challenges to Rice's eligibility for the promotion prompted Representative Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), the newly-elected chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, to charge those who question Rice's qualifications to be named secretary of state are racist and sexist. Speaking at a news conference called by a dozen women House members, she said: "All the things they [Republicans] have disliked about things that have gone on in this administration, they have never called the male unqualified, not bright, not trustworthy. There is a clear sexism and racism that goes with these comments being made by Senator McCain and others."
Yet if this truly is the case, that Republican tendency towards sexism and racism must represent a new shift. It wasn't so many years ago that a Republican president named Bush selected a black woman, coincidentally one with an identical family name as Susan's, for that very same position.
Actually, there are a number of reasons to challenge Rice's selection for that office. I'll summarize a few.
Benghazi Consulate Attack Cover-up Capers:
Just five days after the Benghazi consulate assault that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens , the White House dispatched Ambassador Rice to present the bogus talking points on five popular Sunday morning television shows. She told ABC News: "Let's be clear, what happened this week in Benghazi was a direct result of a heinous and offensive video." She told ABC that it was just a "small handful of heavily armed mobsters", adding "We have decimated al-Quaida". She also said that the current best assessment was that: "…it was a spontaneous…not a premeditated…response to what transpired in Cairo. In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier [on the 9/11 anniversary], there was a violent protest undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated."
It is now clear that the intelligence community and White House knew from Day One that the attack was a carefully planned and heavily armed terrorist assault, and that even the September 10th Cairo protest on our embassy that she alluded to was over U.S. imprisonment of the Blind Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman who was behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and provided the fatwa for the 9/11 attack in 2001…not about any video. President Mohamed Morsi, who replaced former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak, had called for release of the Blind Sheikh in his inaugural address. News footage of the ensuing Cairo protests show banners honoring the Blind Sheikh in the background.
Did the ambassador know differently at the time? She should have, since she was privy to daily presidential security briefs and other classified information that is shared at the Cabinet level.
Representative Peter King (R-NY), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said that if Rice agreed to go on national television, she should have relied on more than unclassified talking points. As Ambassador to the U.N., she should have received a classified briefing: "She left a clear impression that this was a spontaneous demonstration…And as President Obama said, don't blame Susan Rice, because she had nothing to do with Benghazi. Then why do they send her out as representative to the American people?"
1998 Tanzania and Kenya Embassy Bombing Copouts:
Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) has pointed out that Rice's performance following the Benghazi attack, in many ways, echoes her actions and statements in connection with deadly 1998 attacks on two of our East African embassies when she was then assistant secretary of state for African affairs. At that time, similar to Benghazi, Prudence Bushnell, the U.S. ambassador for Kenya, had sent an emotional letter to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright begging for more embassy security in the face of mounting terrorist threats and a warning that she herself was the target of an assassination plot. Those letters were ignored.
Months later, on August 7, simultaneous car bomb attacks on U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya killed 12 American diplomats and 200 Africans. Then, within 24 hours, Assistant Secretary Rice went on PBS as spokesperson for the Clinton administration, falsely claiming that we "maintain a high degree of security at all of our embassies at all times" and that we "had no telephone warning or call of any sort like that, that might have altered either embassy just prior to the blast." Yet, just like Benghazi, there had been lots of prior warnings. A review showed that the CIA repeatedly told State Department officials in Washington and in the Kenya embassy that there was a terrorist cell in Kenya connected to Osama bin Laden who masterminded the attack.
Passing on Osama bin-Laden Handover Offers:
As a member of President Clinton's National Security Council, Susan Rice reportedly played a primary role in forestalling an arrangement where Sudan could have turned over Osama bin Laden to the U.S. As Richard Miniter wrote in his book Losing bin Laden: "The FBI, in 1996 and 1997, had their efforts overruled every single time by the State Department, by Susan Rice and her cronies, who were hell-bent on destroying the Sudan…Rice [cited] the suffering of Christians [in Sudan] as one reason that she doubted the integrity of the Sudanese offers. But her analysis largely overlooked the view of U.S. Ambassador to Sudan Tim Carney, who argued for calling Khartoum's bluff."
Ambassador Carney coauthored a 2002 Washington Post op-ed with Mansoor Ijaz detailing how Rice frustrated attempts to get bin Laden, as Sudan agreed to aid in rooting out terrorists: "By the end of summer 1997, [those officers] persuaded incoming Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to let at least some diplomatic staff return to Sudan to press for resolution of the civil war and pursue offers to cooperate on terrorism. Two individuals, however, disagreed, NSC terrorism specialist Richard Clarke, and NSC Africa specialist Susan Rice, who was about to become assistant secretary for African affairs."

The first of its kind in the country, the National Cyber Olympiad is now a global search competition that aims at identifying and nurturing cyber talent amongst the youngsters. It is as much about inspiring the younger generation to enhance their knowledge and comprehension of issues related to computers and IT as about testing their aptitude in these streams.
It is an international level competition focusing on Mental Ability, Logical & Analytical Reasoning in computers and IT.
A 1994 analysis of computer technology in schools showed that those who learned with computers showed above-average results on standardized achievement tests. Students often respond positively to computers, which can conform to the needs of the student. The study also found that computers streamline the education process. Students learning on a computer take less time to learn material than students with teacher instruction only.
Participants of NCO are ranked on the basis of marks obtained. Hence, after taking the first level of the test, students can judge themselves academically at four different levels - within the school, at city and state level, and above all at International level. Finally students are suitably awarded based on their international ranking. Prizes include cash prizes, computers, medals, CD's, etc.. The prizes for the first 3 toppers of each class are awarded at a grand prize distribution ceremony presided over by an eminent personality. Rest of the prizes are either sent to the schools or can be collected from the Foundation's office after announcement. State level prizes are also being initiated to award state toppers.

Our children's journey to adulthood is like childbirth, in a way; you don't forget the idea of the pain, but you do forget, to an extent, the actual, physical pain.
Read Whole Story
I know this may come as a shock to you, but I was once a teenager. Don't roll your eyes. I was. And I survived. It was a time of profound and sustained unhappiness for me, although I never truly understood why.
I now look forward to the day when someone tells me I'm just like my mother. And I'm really hoping it will be her.
Maybe not in my lifetime, but maybe in my children's lifetime, homosexuality will be like red hair or brown skin or a preference for cheese: not a good thing or a bad thing, just a thing that people won't have to be afraid to share.
I've always tried to teach my children to be grateful for the good in their lives, and while we try to appreciate it every day, Thanksgiving is the one time of year when we don't need reminding. A recent conversation with my son, though, has made me rethink the "good" part of the equation.
I don't know what I enjoy anymore. I hadn't anticipated that it would ever come up, apparently, because in the grand plan of my life, I didn't plan for this. I knew I wanted to have kids, and I knew I wanted to be a writer. I've done both, yet suddenly they're not enough.
There is only film where my father should be.
"I can't quite reconcile that I'm now the mom saying the things I used to hate to hear as a child."
"You'd think they would know it's not a disease," my daughter said as we watched Emma's parents on Glee discuss her OCD. "Jeesh. I'm a kid and I know that."
The fact that I'm a parent does not obviate my need to reassess, re-evaluate and continue to craft my goals and resolutions, and while I can't say with 100 percent certainty, I am pretty sure they involve more than getting dressed.
Let's face it; where your birthday falls can be directly proportional to how much attention you get, and things like that are darn important. They affect self-esteem. They affect sibling relations. And, of course, they affect presents.
Traditional romance can get watered down once there are kids in the picture. With light-sleeping children, the vision of years of potential therapy bills surrounds us every time my husband and I try to remember how we made them in the first place.
Bullying, some would argue, is also a tradition. It's been happening for generations, and is often even passed down within families. The weapons change through the years, but the victims tend to remain constant, kids who are different.
We're lifting the lid on "Toilet Repair Month." I know, I know, I'm sort of down in the dumps about it too; just when you think you could overflow with excitement about summer, there it goes, swirling away. May it rust -- er, rest -- in peace.
I'm not too young for menopause -- my children are too young for it. Or, rather, for me to be in it. I just finished telling them how a woman's body makes babies, and now I have to tell them how it stops.
I assume I know my children pretty well. I know their likes, dislikes, fears and dreams. I used to know these things, anyway. Now, I'm not so sure.
He came home from school a few days later, put down his backpack, and said, "Hi, Mom! Um . . . you were drunk, weren't you?"
Someone told me once that your child needs a cell phone when you need your child to have a cell phone. That makes sense to me.
I couldn't help wondering what the heck my daughter is listening to these days and why it is even allowed on the radio. Things have changed so much since I was a kid, it seems.
I'd heard of the phenomenon, six-years-old going on 16, but assumed my parenting skills were such that I'd be exempt. She couldn't be more excited about school and I couldn't be more afraid.
The purpose of a vacation, they say, is to make us feel better. It is an opportunity to escape from real life for awhile, to pamper ourselves, to do things we ordinarily don't do.
The problem with tweeting, it would seem, even if one is able to keep the tweets on the level of the mundane, is a lack of editor. A lack of filter. It's like unprotected sex.
I do not clean. I do not cook. My house may be a mess, but scientists discovered that a certain amount of dirt and dust may actually be helpful in building kids' immune systems.
Men's wrinkled faces are "craggy" and "rugged." Women's are "lined" and "worn." Men get theirs through a lifetime of adventures, while ours come from being old and tired.
I'm not a perfect mom, but I always thought I was a good one. Then one day I broke my daughter's leg.

Rooibos tea, also known as African Red tea, is made from the fermented needle-shaped leaves of the rooibos shrub. Practicers of traditional African medicine have used rooibos tea for centuries to treat many different conditions, and modern research suggests that rooibos tea contains a high level of nutrients and antioxidants.
Kidney Stones
Ten percent of Americans suffer from the agonizing condition of kidney stones, according to an article on the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine website. Kidney stones form when there is a high concentration of calcium and other minerals in the kidneys. These minerals clump together to form crystals that painfully pass through the urinary tack to exit the body. This high concentration is commonly caused by dietary factors or a lack of hydration. The best treatment to prevent kidney stones is to drink plenty of fluids. The article suggests that drinking decaffeinated herbal teas low in oxalate, a compound that can exacerbate the formation of kidney stones, is the best way to keep the body hydrated to prevent kidney stones. These factors make rooibos tea one of the best beverages to drink to prevent kidney stones, as it contains no caffeine and no oxalate.
Rooibos tea contains high levels of flavonoids, polyphenols and phenolic acid, powerful antioxidants that are considered immune-boosting and cancer-fighting agents. Research cited by the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center website demonstrates a potential for rooibos tea to possess antimutagenic properties to prevent cancer cells from forming. An animal study provides evidence that rooibos tea may protect against radiation damage commonly associated with the development of certain cancers.
Other Benefits
Rooibos tea has been given to individuals who suffer from insomnia, irregular sleeping habits and headaches due to its decaffeinated state and relaxation effect on the nervous system, notes the article "Medicinal Crops of Africa." It adds that roobios tea has a high concentration of energizing minerals such as iron, potassium, zinc, magnesium and sodium, making it useful to boost hydration and endurance during a workout session or sporting event.

English Chamber Orchestra (Chamber Orchestra)
Originally founded: 1948 - England, as Goldsbrough Orchestra Renamed: 1960 - as English Chamber Orchestra
The English Chamber Orchestra (= ECO), has its roots in the Goldsbrough Orchestra, founded in 1948 by Lawrence Leonard and Arnold Goldsbrough. The group took its current name in 1960, when it expanded its repertoire from outside the Baroque period for the first time. The ECO is one of the world's most celebrated ensembles. It is London's only full-time chamber orchestra, undertaking a busy schedule of recording sessions and concert appearances at home and abroad, including its prestigious London Concert Series presented by the English Chamber Orchestra & Music Society under the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales. Their long association with Benjamin Britten is already part of English musical history. Other famous collaborations include those with Sir Colin Davis, Daniel Barenboim, Raymond Leppard, Mitsuko Uchida, Itzhak Perlman, and Pinchas Zukerman. Most recently, the Orchestra appointed the young British conductor, Paul Goodwin, as principal guest conductor. The ECO's reputation is enhanced by its recordings of over a thousand works and includes numerous award-winning albums as well as those of historical interest.

For anyone who might still be interested–Yes, it is still a miracle. YHWH is still in the miracle business and He has great purpose in this one. Stay tuned. It is about to get interesting.
I am curious why people are STILL looking at these "updates" but NEVER asking questions. I just do not understand. Read Psalm 28 and Isaiah 5:12. This is a REAL situation here. YHWH is not slack concerning His promises; your unbelief has NO bearing on the truth.

Tomorrow–September 25 2014–is Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets). The Jews call the 10 days from Yom Teruah to Yom Kippur the 10 days of awe in which a person looks deep inside himself for repentance to YHWH. As YHWH continues to show signs of the closeness of the hour may we take the days of awe this year more serious than ever before so that we might remove any barrier between us and our Creator.
This may be your last chance to believe without seeing. Remember Thomas.
Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed. (John 20:29)
The Reconciling

The House of Israel and the House of Judah have been divided since sometime between 997 BCE and 928 BCE; There are varying opinions about the date. There is no varying opinion, however, about the reuniting of the two houses. The two houses will be reunited and it will be an amazing event. Study and show yourself to be a Berean. You know who the house of Judah is. Who is the house of Israel? The blinders are coming off and the House of Israel is beginning to see who they are. The miracle of Hannah/Ruth will carry the message of reconciliation to YHWH, between the two houses, and within the two houses.
Be amazed, be amazed for YHWH is working a work in your day that even if you were told, you would not believe!!
(Habakkuk 1:5)
And you, lie down on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it.The number of the days that you shall lie down on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of days: three hundred and ninety days. And you shall bear the house of Israel's iniquity.
And when you complete them, even lie on your right side, the second. And you shall bear the house of Judah's iniquity forty days; a day for a year. I have set it for you, a day for a year.
(Ezekiel 4:4-6)
The houses have been divided since sometime between 997 BCE and 928 BCE….there are varying opinions. One day soon, the houses will be reunited.

There have been many betrayals on "Game of Thrones," and yet Shae's betrayal of Tyrion Lannister hurt like it was the first one. Maybe it was because audiences fell in love with the couple's relationship, or maybe it was because people thought Shae was safely away from Westeros when she returned, but seeing her come back and implicate her former lover in "The Laws of Gods and Men" was hard to watch.
For Sibel Kekilli, the actress who plays Shae, the hardest part of the trial scene was actually when Shae named Sansa Stark as part of the fake plot as well. Kekilli argued with creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss to take out that line, but they refused.
"I had really big problems with that, with this line," Kekilli tells Zap2it. "When I read that, I thought, 'She can't say that.' I think Shae really loves her and she's said, 'I would kill for this girl.' She's saying one line, and I thought, 'Ugh, can't she just say Tyrion did that?' Or something like that? It's really hard, so I tried to understand why, of course, why she's doing it. As I said, she just got wounded now, and is just boxing around."
The actress who playes Sansa has a few words to say to Shae as well. "We all know that he loves you, OK," Sophie Turner jokes. "At least you're loved by someone, Shae."
Though Kekilli loves Shae, she also admits the character "is sometimes too straight, and she speaks fast and then she thinks." That could be the case with this trial scene, which shows Shae has sided with the enemies of Tyrion to hurt him.
"I think it's [Tyrion's] fault," Kekilli says of why Shae made this decision. "She was there when he was wounded and in the bed at the end of the second season, and he said, 'Go! You don't have to be here. We had a deal, when I have money.' And she said, 'No, I am not going. I am not leaving. I'm here because I promised you.' She's still there when he tells her he has to marry Sansa. She's still there and she's still the handmaiden of Sansa. She had to throw her pride away. He pushed her there."
She also thinks Shae took part in the trial betrayal because Tyrion would never see it coming. "I think he thought when he treated her like that, he was hoping she was going to leave just King's Landing and never come back, to rescue her life — and of course to maybe rescue his life to not get vulnerable as well," Kekilli says. "But he never expected that she was going to be putting the knife back."
But despite this betrayal, Kekilli thinks Shae truly loves — or at least loved — Tyrion. "He is not a dwarf for her, not a freak at all. Just a vulnerable lovely guy who's a bit afraid of the family and who needs home and warm love," she says.
As for a tease of the last four episodes of Season 4, Kekilli says, "It's all about pride. Just hurt pride. It's always the same people. When they get hurt, then you see their real faces."
"Game of Thrones" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

In the last couple of weeks two new census have been released onto the Internet. Irish family researchers were given an early Christmas present when the 1911 Irish Census was made available on the Internet. It is very easy to search and is available free to users of the Internet.
The English 1911 census was released a few days ago. Personally i do not find it as easy to use as the Irish census, although it has an interesting feature. You can search for a house and find out the names of the residents. If your house was standing at the time of the 1911 census,then you are able to view the residents who lived there at the time. Unlike the Irish census which is free to view,the English census will only reveal the answers to your searching when you cash in your paid credits.
See what you think for yourself, here are the links to view the Irish and English census.

Rosemary O Brien plays Reverend Mother in the Toledo Repertoire Theatre production of Meshuggah-Nuns!
Where there were chuckles, there could have been belly laughs. Where there were smiles of amusement, there could have been guffaws. As a musical comedy, Meshuggah-Nuns! could have been more.
The fifth incarnation in Dan Goggin's Nunsense franchise, which runs through May 7 in the Toledo Repertoire Theatre, celebrates the similarities of the Jewish and Catholic faiths as five nuns join with an actor to perform in a cruise-ship variety show.
These are Reverend Mother (Rosemary O'Brien), who is generally easygoing but occasionally has to curtail her troops' hijinks; Sister Mary Hubert (Janna Ravel), the head of novices, who believes she deserves to run the convent; Sister Robert Anne (Amy Scott), who hasn't completely tamed her New York attitude; and Sister Mary Paul (Cindy Bilby), better known as Sister Amnesia because (in the original show) she was bonked on her head with a crucifix and lost her memory.
Jeffrey Albright plays Howard Liszt, the star of Fiddler on the Roof, who can't perform that show because the rest of the cast is down with seasickness.
Highlights of the show include "Contrition (A Song of Guilt)," performed to the tune of "Tradition" from Fiddler on the Roof; "If I Were a Catholic," done to the tune of "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler; "Matzo Man," a tribute to the Village People; and a Laugh-In-type scene in which various nuns pop into view through windows of the set and toss jokes at Howard.
If there is one element that causes Meshuggah-Nuns! to be less than hilarious, it's that writer Dan Goggin is wearing his franchise thin.
He builds on jokes from the first shows, expecting his audience to know them, such as the Reverend Mother's hatred of a hand puppet. There are in-jokes, such as her use of a toy clicker to keep her nuns in line. If you didn't go to parochial school or catechism in the 1950s and '60s, would you cringe at that sound?
The Jewish connection suffers as well. The references to the Catskills and the Borscht Belt badly date the humor.
Director Jim Norman keeps the pace rapid-fire, which also helps to hide the utter absence of depth, as do a multitude of visual gags, including the unique footwear of each nun and the sight of feathered boas over their habits in a tribute to Sophie Tucker.
O'Brien, Scott, and Ravel are reprising their roles from a past Rep production of Nunsense, and they wear their habits like a second skin.
Bilby fits in well as the absent-minded but sweet Sister Amnesia, and Albright proves a fine foil for the women.
His duet with Sister Robert Anne, "A Love Like This," is a surprisingly tender, poignant scene.
Someone once said, "Give me lemons and I'll make lemonade."
In Meshuggah-Nuns! the sympathetic, talented cast takes some gossamer-thin material and comes up with a pleasant, if unmemorable, evening of entertainment.
"Meshuggah-Nuns!" continues through May 7 in the Toledo Repertoire Theatre, 16 Tenth St. Performances are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays as well as May 4. Matinees are at 2:30 p.m. Sunday and May 7. Tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for seniors. Information: 419-243-9277.

My elderly cat loves these and waits by the cupboard at bedtime for them. She just gobbles them down!
This product had been recalled and I had to throw it away
All my cats are always thrilled to get a few pieces of EVO treat and never turn up their noses at this product.
My kitties go wild for these treats! I like that they are grain-free.
This is one the best treats I've found. The ingredients are pretty good considering most of them out there, and all of my cats love them. I have to give several of my cats medication, so I always give them a couple of these as a treat to say thank you for taking your meds. My cats love these--even my cats who don't like fish like the herring and salmon. All of their flavors are winners. I will continue to purchase these. I did find them cheaper at my pet food store locally, but their price may not stay that low. I've seen them much more also. Definitely recommend!
We have 2 cats that just love these treats. One is a pretty finicky eater, but not when it comes to these treats.

Matthew Ames Womenswear S/S10
The structural obsessive lightened up for spring summer and reinterpreted ideas of American sportswear.
- PhotographyShawn Brackbill
- TextBrigitte Nicole Grice
As the lights dimmed, sounds of thumping heartbeats came through the speakers, and all waited in suspense for Matthew Ames 's only second and significantly higher produced runway show at Milk studios yesterday. Ames, reinvigorating the meaning of American Sportswear for Spring, put his eye through a minimalist perspective inspired in color by Ellsworth Kelly, in black-and-white geometry by Agnes Martin, and in movement by dance avant-garde Merce Cunningham, yielding a more accessible collection full of colorful silk dresses that largely echoed the early days of Jil Sanders. Ames continued to show off his originality with his signature inclination to fabrics and attention to shapes as seen in everything from a transparent plastic knee-length jacket, organza capelets and oversized shorts, and mono-colored silk jumpsuits, at times with enough volume to pass as floor-length dresses.

Eight games into Euro 2012, it is ITV winning the punditry duel
Much-mocked broadcasters producing more entertaining TV so far
The excessive ad breaks, Adrian Chiles' overplayed real fan shtick, the semi-scripted commentators and often overegged pro-England coverage often see ITV used as a criticism sponge to soak up much of the dismay directed at British football coverage.
Over a quarter of the way into Euro 2012 though, the reality is that their broadcasts have been far more enjoyable than the BBC's, without really altering the formula that has attracted scorn before.
One key reason has been that the pundits picked to be paired with the usual duo of Roy Keane and Gareth Southgate have proven fairly inspired.
Roberto Martinez is easy-on-the-ear even when not imparting wisdom, Patrick Vieira has shown far more enthusiasm than ITV's World Cup wildcard Edgar Davids, Jamie Carragher is far more willing to offer an opinion than most modern footballers (even if it is a spiky "France, pft, not that good") and Gordon Strachan much more fun and self-effacing in the role of contrary cynic than Mark Lawrenson.
By contrast, despite adding some fancy continental flavours like Clarence Seedorf and Jurgen Klinsmann, the BBC offering still seems to be dominated by the tired old guard, with Alan Hansen – formerly the last to be criticised – currently the most objectionable.
Harry Redknapp is there too but everyone in the country has so much access to his ever-changing and contradicting opinions that his presence adds no significant value.
Whereas Strachan pointed to pages of research strewn in front of his colleagues Vieira and Martinez before Spain v Italy, Hansen has a habit of spewing a quick line on any subject without elaboration or qualification, apparently feeling his experience alone allows him to ooze authority without justifying it.
The key difference between the two camps however is that ITV's guys just look a whole lot happier to be a part of it, whereas too many of the BBC team specialise in sneery distain.
You can get away with having one downbeat and miserable character in your squad but the BBC have Hansen, Lawrenson and Martin Keown always appearing to go out of their way to identify a negative stance. There are early signs that they risk dragging the once-fresh Lee Dixon down with them too.
Aware that continuously kicking them would mean The Spoiler committing the exact same crime of which we accuse the Match of the Day ensemble, there is a positive to pick out.
Usually, Alan Shearer would feature on the aforementioned list of the mean and moody yet, while very much still a work in progress, he is enjoying his best tournament since retiring to the sofa.
Enjoy is the key word too as he seems a lot merrier, perhaps partly because his early appearances came pitch-side while most of his colleagues were stationed back home.
The Spoiler gets the impression that he has done more homework than usual too, but above all else maybe his new shinier look is enough to make him stand out amid a never-changing, stale backdrop.

Any difference in case price at time of purchase will be put into extra boxes of the product. (Same thing I did with my "Not So Twisted" break) |

You might want to double check with Chris on this one. He may not be able to get you 6 cases for the break. I know with Draft, I was limited to 5.
I also agree with guru on the price. Might want to wait a week or so and get even better prices than what Chris can offer right now. Did you consider doing a team break? I would be in for 1 or 2 on that.
Looking for - Mitch Keller, Jameson Taillon, and Austin Meadows

And in checking the numbers, for every $50 saved on the case will only save a slot less than $1. This is purely because their is 53 hits per case. So even if the cases drop $200 per case it will only lower the price per slot roughly $4.00. I'm sure most people would be happy with the extra hits if we just went ahead and got more product.
12-29-2010, 09:36 PM | #11 (permalink) |
Well, let's fill the slots. When it comes to the end we can take a vote and see what is favored more. Either way, I will either add more product or lower the price based on what Blowout's at purchase time rate is.
I tried to get a good discount on this stuff because it's 6 cases, but he only knocked it down to $1150, yet you can buy the same case for $300 cheaper on the bay. If I could get the cases at $850 then the price would be between $5.50 and $6.00 cheaper per slot. But that could be a while if he isn't lowering them based on the market. And by then, even what you pull could have a considerably less resale value. |

According to paypal about the new tax issue. They will be required to send out 1099's is you do $20,000+ or have 200 transactions of money received. I run my ebay business through my company. I do well over 200 transactions and close to $20,000 in a years time. The 1099 is for my business and yes it will show an increase in my sales but I also have a cost factor in the mdse I sell that offsets some of the profit. Most people will not be affected by the change.

Just woke up on the couch! Movie wasn't that good anyway.
Too many multi player cards in this stuff. They have triple autos, double autos and hexawhatevers. Plus we'll have 72 bonus redemptions that don't have names. I like the hit break because every slot gets something. Not to mention their is not a lot of big named rookies in this stuff. |

The Castelli Body Paint Range: Body Paint technology reduces seams to an absolute minimum, making it ideal for long-distance racing. The near total lack of seams makes for a very aerodynamic product that consistently gives the lowest drag results in their wind tunnel testing of both Castelli and competing products. When wearing Body Paint products, you'll appreciate the insane comfort that it provides. The reduced seams and integrated components like the leg grippers mean there's nothing to chafe. Castelli are obsessed over every detail to eliminate anything that might get in the way on race day. Other features include UV protection of their Velocity fabric, which is white on the back to reflect more heat. They also use high-capacity yet aerodynamically optimised pockets. Speed Hooks on the top of the short keep the top from riding up and the shorts from sagging. Finally the Kiss 3 infinity variable thickness and quick-drying seatpad offers exceptional rider comfort.

Charles Dickens: Life And Adventures Of Martin Chuzzlewit48. Chapter Forty-eightBEARS TIDINGS OF MARTIN AND OF MARK, AS WELL AS OF A THIRD PERSON NOT QUITE UNKNOWN TO THE READER. EXHIBITS FILIAL PIETY IN AN UGLY ASPECT; AND CASTS A DOUBTFUL RAY OF LIGHT UPON A VERY DARK PLACE Tom Pinch and Ruth were sitting at their early breakfast, with the window open, and a row of the freshest little plants ranged before it on the inside by Ruth's own hands; and Ruth had fastened a sprig of geranium in Tom's button-hole, to make him very smart and summer- like for the day (it was obliged to be fastened in, or that dear old Tom was certain to lose it); and people were crying flowers up and down the street; and a blundering bee, who had got himself in between the two sashes of the window, was bruising his head against the glass, endeavouring to force himself out into the fine morning, and considering himself enchanted because he couldn't do it; and the morning was as fine a morning as ever was seen; and the fragrant air was kissing Ruth and rustling about Tom, as if it said, 'how are you, my dears; I came all this way on purpose to salute you;' and it was one of those glad times when we form, or ought to form, the wish that every one on earth were able to be happy, and catching glimpses of the summer of the heart, to feel the beauty of the summer of the year. It was even a pleasanter breakfast than usual; and it was always a pleasant one. For little Ruth had now two pupils to attend, each three times a week; and each two hours at a time; and besides this, she had painted some screens and card-racks, and, unknown to Tom (was there ever anything so delightful!), had walked into a certain shop which dealt in such articles, after often peeping through the window; and had taken courage to ask the Mistress of that shop whether she would buy them. And the mistress had not only bought them, but had ordered more, and that very morning Ruth had made confession of these facts to Tom, and had handed him the money in a little purse she had worked expressly for the purpose. They had been in a flutter about this, and perhaps had shed a happy tear or two for anything the history knows to the contrary; but it was all over now; and a brighter face than Tom's, or a brighter face than Ruth's, the bright sun had not looked on since he went to bed last night.

GIA Graduate Gemologist Diploma Opens Door to Jobs in Jewelry Industry
Next Gemology Training Begins May 7 at GIA Los Angeles
Apr 01, 2004, 00:00 ET from Gemological Institute of America
CARLSBAD, Calif., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The right qualifications are vital when competing for a job and, according to some jewelers in the Los Angeles area, the top resumes for positions such as selling fine jewelry, identifying and grading gemstones, and preparing appraisals, show a Graduate Gemologist (G.G.) diploma. Los Angeles-area residents interested in a career in the prestigious gem and jewelry industry can qualify for positions like these by earning a G.G. diploma from the Los Angeles branch of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The next classes start May 7. "A Graduate Gemologist diploma is a definite plus when I'm looking at applications," said Linda Abell, G.G., vice president of Sarah Leonard Fine Jewelers in West Los Angeles, which currently has eight G.G.'s on its staff. "We prefer and actively seek out G.G.'s because they already have the expertise and don't require the basic training. For us, that's invaluable." Veronica Clark-Hudson, director of GIA's Los Angeles branch, said this training can open the door for networking opportunities and potential employment in such positions as staff gemologist, diamond or colored stone buyer, appraiser, auction house jewelry specialist, or sales professional. Consisting of a seven-week Diamonds course and a 19-week Colored Stones course, the G.G. diploma program offers students the opportunity to examine hundreds of diamonds and more than 1,500 gemstones, as well as learn the fundamentals of diamond grading, gem identification, and jewelry sales techniques. For further information on GIA Los Angeles and the Graduate Gemologist (G.G.) diploma program, call 213-833-0115, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.gia.edu. About GIA An independent nonprofit organization, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is recognized as the world's foremost authority in gemology. Established in 1931, GIA has translated its expert knowledge into the most respected gemological education available. In 1953, the Institute created the International Diamond Grading System(TM) which, today, is recognized by virtually every professional jeweler in the world. Through research, education, gemological laboratory services, and instrument development, the Institute is dedicated to ensuring the public trust in gems and jewelry by upholding the highest standards of integrity, academics, science, and professionalism.

Bookpeople's Banquette
One of the early restaurants to stake a claim in what over the past decade it helped establish as the Flatiron district, L'acajou is a lunchtime fave where uptown and downtown publishing meet. A long bar presumably crafted from the eponymous mahogany invites impromptu conversations among strangers, while booths in the dining area offer relative privacy in a fortuitous commingling of conviviality and seclusion, and the $9.50 lunchtime soup and salad and $21 prix fixe are increasingly attractive bargains in these days of small presses and overall expense-account parsimony. But L'acajou serves a communal function in the evening too, welcoming neighborhood residents and cash-clutching survivors of the malling of Sixth Avenue. The $27.50 prix fixe dinner, available until 8 p.m., is the perfect showcase for an unpretentiously classic menu that is definitely worth a detour.
My francophile mom joined me on my first visit and immediately decided on the three-course bonanza, starting with a scrumptious potato-and-leek soup that was not the usual parmentier, but rather bits and chunks of veggies in a mossy broth. I selected the terrine de jarret de boeuf ($7.50), which proved a sizable slab of pulled beef imprisoned in a rich jelly: primal perfection, especially when coupled with tartly toothsome cornichons, a smear of Dijon's best, and crusty slices of country bread. My friend picked delicately at her dew-fresh mesclun, saving herself for the precisely à point steak ($26) that was perfect in pink and thin, crisp frites complete with the optional sauce rouge the restaurant has waiting for ketchup diehards. I copped out with a well-executed frisée ($7.50) topped with a huge pile of richly porky pig bits. Mom's trout special, selected from among the four main courses the prix fixe offered, swam again, this time in a lake of brown butter with a topping of toasted almonds. Splendidly simple, it was enough to have her feigning fluency so she could compliment the waitress in French. She loved her crème caramel as well, although I found my blood orange soufflé in vanilla sauce slightly insipid, one of the few times the place fell short of its own standards of excellence.
When I returned, the trout was no longer available, and the waitress had an accent more Guinness than Gallic. I found my thrill, however, in a sautéed Dover sole ($26) that was almost good as the trout, but sans appetizer and dessert. The soupe du jour was a surprising puree of eggplant and potato with a hint of cumin for colonial style. Fluffy pucks of goat cheese drizzled with a roasted red pepper coulis topped toasted baguette rounds ($9.50) and were the perfect foil for a piquant tapenade. A roasted cod whose mild flesh was toned up with hazelnut butter and the muted zing of roasted garlic ($19.50) took one friend's fancy. The other selected a darkly flavored calf's liver in a stygian puddle of Armagnac, onions, and chanterelles ($18.50) that proved the chef had earned his toque. Not wanting to spoil the afterglow from my sole, I ended with twin globes of grapefruit-Campari and blood orange sorbet ($5), while my friends indulged in a better-than-average crème brûlée ($6) and a velvetly decadent wedge of chocolate cake ($6). Not the usual display of gastronomic pyrotechnics that have come to symbolize Gallic cuisine, the food at L'acajou is simply and satisfyingly stellar.
