Two teenagers were hospitalized and a parent was arrested after San Diego County sheriff's deputies broke up a house party in Poway on Friday night.
Deputies with the Poway Station responded to a call of a house party in the 1300 block of White Rock Station Road around 9:30 p.m., according to officials. The call was reportedly made by a resident of the area who was unable to get to their home because the road was blocked.
Officials said arriving deputies walked to the house where the party was being held to request that the vehicles be removed and as they did so they observed a drunk teenage male outside of the party.
Deputies then went inside the party and found around 100 individuals, several of whom were students from Poway High School, officials said. When the partygoers spotted the deputies, they reportedly began to flee over walls into neighboring yards.
An ice chest, empty beer cans, and bottles of vodka were found strewn across the yard, according to officials.
Officials called the teen's parents and requested they come to the home. The teens were then released into their parents' custody.
Two teens, a male and female, were transported to an area hospital for alcohol poisoning by the Poway Fire Department.
A vehicle with five juveniles inside that was leaving the party was stopped for running a red light. Four of the teens inside the vehicle reportedly had alcohol in their systems, and the car's driver, a 16-year-old boy, had a provisional license. The teen was arrested and later released to his mother.
Deputies determined that the party was hosted by a 16-year-old who lived at the residence and both of the teen's parents were home at the time.
Deputies arrested the teen's 54-year-old father, who they identified as Anton Joseph Muawad. He was later booked into San Diego Central Jail for suspicion of violating the social host ordinance.

It turns out the Promised Land isn't that desperate for a Twitter account after all.
Israel's Consul General Ofer Bavly clarified Wednesday how negotiations went with the owner of a Miami porn website, Israel Melendez, who happened to also own the rights to the Twitter handle @israel.
The two men met at the Israeli Consulate in downtown Miami last week to hash out a deal that would give the Jewish country control over the Twitter account in exchange for a fee.
They sat in the same area where kings and other political leaders usually meet to talk about world peace or diplomatic solutions.
"It's almost like exchanging hostages," Bavly joked about the negotiation session.
Melendez had held the @israel Twitter handle for about three years, but rarely used it. He never dreamed of making cash off of it, but then the Israeli consulate came a knocking.
Some reports had the country paying as much as six figures to wrestle the handle away from the other Israel, but those reports aren't accurate, Bavly confirmed without giving a specific dollar amount.
"I'm sure if he took his friends to a nice restaurant and bought a few expensive bottles of wine, the check would run out," Bavly said.
Whatever the case, Melendez and Israeli officials agreed the exchange was mutually beneficial. Turns out every time Melendez tweeted, he would receive a ton of anti-Israeli e-mails and responses.
Who wouldn't give that up for a few bottles of wine?
"He doesn't need that flack," Bavly said. "He's better off with the check and we're better off having ownership of our state's name."

I have been crocheting for 70 years and found the instructions for the Backtrack Beanie very easy. However, the instructions for the brim on the beanie were very difficult to understand.

"The Pot Boiler" is the story of playwright who is producing <his m play.

The Crescent Theater group of the University Recreation association, presented the three-act play in the crescent style, the group's own variation of "theater in the round." Starred in the show was Bill Means as the milkman-fighter. who is given credit for knocking out the middleweight champion in a street fight through a newspaperman's mistake. The milkman +hen goes on to become a contender fur the title through a series of fixed fights, and eventually wins lhe crown. Top billing also goes to Gloria Murphy who plays Mae Sullivan, the milkman's sister.

DAPPER CHARLES McCARTHY and friend will go through their CBS antics Sunday in Bovard. Celeste Holm and Mortimer Snerd will be the love interest. Edgar, Lumberhead In Bovard Sunday Rival Student Bodies Praised for Behavior To our students—a message from the Provost: I am unusually proud of the conduct of our students at football games this year. Win or lose, the sportsmanship accorded to our opponents, the game officials, and our alumni and other guests, has been impressive. I am looking forward to the same high level of sportsmanship for the Southern California game and and the week preceding it. If Tommy Trojan is to be painted, let it not be UCLA students who do it. If there is vandalism prior to the game let us be certain none of our student body be involved. Again, my congratulations for your sound, mature good sense. Proudly and sincerely yours, C. A. Dykstra Provost, UCLA Twelve hundred tickets for the Edgar Bergen - Charlie McCarthy show will be distributed at 11:30 today on the porch of Elisabeth-von KleinSmid hall. The half-hour CBS show will be aired in Bovard Sunday at 5 p.m. Bergen, who has appeared at SC several times before, has designed his show for Trojans. He will have in addition to Charlie and Mortimer Snerd, Celeste Holm. Academy-Award-winning actress, as guest star. Part of the show will be devoted to Charlie's Scandinavian trip, and the presentation of the Scandinavian Oscar, the "Olaf," which consists of a 14-inch gold cup filled with herring. The same reliable characters will be in the Bergen cast. Hans Con-reid, Jim Backus, and Professor Ercil Twing will take part in the show which includes a Swedish picric and • a Swedish massage skit. Frank Gill Jr. will produce the show and Bill Baldwin will announce. A maximum of two tickets is allowed for each student ticket, and the doors open at 4:15. Those without tickets can enter at 4:45 if there is seating space left. Wiliam Sener, director of KUSC, arranged for the show. Amazons and Trojan Knights will handle ticket distribution. To our students: Los Angeles remains one of the significantly few cities where two great rival universities permit their crosstown teams to clash on the gridiron. For 15 years the players of both teams have fought hard and exhibited true sportsmanship and respect for each other. We are proud of this enviable record in our history. It now comes time for the prowess of the two teams to be again contested. The outcome of the game cannot be determined as yet, but the fair play, the maturity of our students can be trusted and depended upon. JLet it not be a few Trojans who might mar this outstanding record by failing to respect the students, the campus grounds, and the buildings of our friendly, rival institution. May I heartily commend you Trojans on your irreproachable record these many years and your exemplary conduct at all games this year. We're mighty proud of you! Respectfully yours, Albert F.

He said uranium is taken out of the ground as pitchblende or car-notite. The ores are crushed and then treated chemically to extract pure uranium, a metal which looks like silver but is not as shiny.

Faculty and students from several schools In this area have been invited to attend the symposium, including Occidental, Woodbury, Pepperdine. and UCLA. The program is the radio department's contribution to the Contemporary Arts festival which will continue through Dec. 14. Noon Music Series Talent Acclaimed Gwendolyn Williams, director of the music at noon concert series, drew upon the apparently inexhaustible supply of headline talent from the School of Music and presented another program yesterday at which the appreciative audience, as always, called the performers back to the stage for additional applause. Soprano Alice Lee, a special student who has appeared as soloist in the Hollywood bowl and the Metropolitan opera, sang Sehu- ■ man's song cycle, "Frauenliebe und ! Leben" with an ease that belied the cycle's difficulty. Students ot Stephen De'ak's chamber music classes Armen Tur-adian. violin; Calvin Inman, cello; and Doris Crane, piano, played Beethoven's Trio No. 4, B Flat, with & finish that rounded out the noon hour's perfect program. Vandalism in any form is taboo as an expression of pregame enthusiasm by rival SC-UCLA students. Authorities of both schools have agreed on the punishment of anyone apprehended in such an act. "UCLA and SC have agreed that any student caught in an act of vandalism will be turned over to the proper authorities together with an estimate of damages committed. These students will be held personally responsible for all damages incurred," Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, said. The payment of damages does not close the affair, Dr. Zech hastened to add. The guilty parties must still come up before the Men's Advisory board for final disposition. A further curb to unbfidied spirits exists. Police details covering both campuses will definitely book any students caught defacing property. This policy, adopted by the rival schools last year, has been deemed fair and successful in dealing with vandalism. Starting today Tommy Trojan will be veiled in a shroud as a precautionary measure against unruly painters. For the next few days during night hours his person will be guarded by Knight and Squire volunteers as well as by fraternity pledges. The SC campus police force is to be augmented by additional guards and men from thc downtown police force. Out at UCLA $1000 has been appropriated to protect the campus against invasion. The police force there is to be doubled over that of last year and will be aided by a patrol car. Additional precautions have been taken to prevent interruption of the rally scheduled for Friday evening. Bureaucracy in SC's "unwieldy and disorganized" senate received a death knell yesterday as the Blue Key "little Hoover commission" launched its program of student government reorganization. Aimed at streamlining the senate from its present overload of 32 voting members plus*-- an additional 14 non-voting members, the move has serious ramifi- [ cations. Proposals submitted by the commission to the Senate for approval will fall into one of two classes, drastic amendment or a new constitution. ELECTION PLANNED This will mean a special election at which time students would be required to ratify either a new constitution or an amended form of the one now being used. Such an election would require a two-thirds vote for ratification. Motion for the investigation and recommendations was made by Al Wiggins, Senate parliamentarian, following the reading of a resolution, originating in the Blue Key organization, recommending that the Senate be overhauled. Debated and approved by the Sehate, the investigation commission composed of Chairman Wiggins, Whitey Fruhling, Don Gevirtz. George Burke, and Larry Bub, came into existence. Need for a streamlined and more efficient Senate is obvious, Wiggins pointed out. 1 To 462 RATIO "Today there is one voting senator for every 462 students on campus. A male veteran student in LAS who is a member of a fraternity is represented by 18 votes in the Senate. These votes include those of 10 senators-at-large, veterans representative, IFC president, LAS president, a class president, AMS president, ASSC • vice-president, ASSC secretary, and the independent student representative vote," he stated. There are two major types of organizational plans for the kind cf government needed here, Wiggins said. 1.

Trojan Knights are using the whole rally crew for the noon to 1:15 p.m. affair in front of Phelps Terkel. Jack Lindquist and Larry O'Neal are working* out entertainment details while . . _ r. Special Pep Show Set for Tomorrow "The job of government is to do the business of government, not to delay or impede that business." So declared Hubert H. Humphrey, junior senator from Minnesota, to a capacity audience in the Law auditorium yesterday afternoon. Speaking on the topic of congressional organization, the ycuthful senator said that too often the will of the people as expressed through a national election is thwarted in the legislative mazes of Congress. Speaking without notes and utilizing all the gestures and skillful phrasing that mark a veteran speaker, the eloquent Midwest legislator labeled himself as a "New Deal, Fair Deal, Welfare State Democrat." CHEERED FOR GOPHERS H® added that he was also a fervid fan of the Minnesota Gophers and still cherished a faint hope of being back in Los Angeles on New Year's day, cheering for the Bierman footballers in the Rose Bowl. Turning to his topic for the ASSC-sponsored forum. Humphrey said that the first prerequisite for responsible, democratic government is party responsibility. "No political responsibility is possible with a non-partisan government,'' he said. In Congress itself, the main stumbling block for expediting legislation. according to the senator, is the vast amount of work to be done, the numerous mazes of the legislative process, and archaic and outdated Congressional rules. RULES JUST GREW Humphrey nominated the various committees as the chief places where legislation can be hampered or delayed. The various committee chairmen attain their posts through seniority and are not necessarily in agreement with the platform or administration voted to power by the majority of the electorate. The Congressional Reorganization Act of 1946 was a progressive step in that it reduced the ntftnber of standing 'Continuer! on Page 4) Marv Freeman and Dan Schiavone handle special services.

"Wte want to stage this along the lines of last year's all-American i rally, with entertainers, Tommy j Walker and the band, and some j team members appearing with the yell leaders," said Gordon. The five committeemen were chosen to work on this rally because of their past experience in handling talent for student shows. A special pep rally, following the regularly-scheduled noon rally, will be held in front of the PE building at 5 p.m. tomorrow in order to send the SC gridders into the UCLA conflict with the full support of the student body. Inspired by Dick Tudor and two of his Theta Xi brothers, the rally is intended to "compensate for the lack of support shown when the team left for the Cal and Washington games." The band and yell leaders will be on hand for the 20 minute demonstration as the pigskinners depart for their hotel for the night. ' We hope everyone will be on hand to root for the team," Tudor said. CAI to Present Two Atom Films A double feature will be presented today at 1:10 pm., 310 Bridge, by the Council on Atomic Implications, when it shows the CAI-producec filmstrip "Your Atomic World" anr the moving picture "The Atom A Work." Covering important peacetime a. plications of atomic energy, tl. film strip will describe the use o radioisotopes in the treatment anr diagnosis of leukemia, a disease l. which white blood cells destroy thr red, and polycythemia, red bloo cells destroy the white. "The Atom At Work" wil portray the use of radioisotope in agriculture and industry; thr handling and shipment of radio isotopes from atomic piles; and th-possibilities of atomic power fc airplanes. Slingin Swami to Lead DT Gridsters' in Bruin Tilt ★ ★ ' ★ ★ ★ ★ Underdog Troy Scribblers for UCLA Student Lounge . . . will be closed tomorrow for the Annual Women's Football Lunoheon. Pronounced fit to play at the last minute, Jim "Swami" Blake will attempt to break Jim "Mystic" Powers' SC record by throwing four touchdown passes tomorrow at 3 on Bovard field when his Daily Trojan team meets the Daily Bruins in a football game. The former jaycee terror ruined the Bruins last season with his right-handed aerials. He has been bothered this Jail by an elbow injury resulting from too much bending, and also recently has undergone an operation to remove the brass rail from the bottom of his right foot. Charges that unabashed proselyting has been going on at SC were frankly admitted by Joltin' Jim Lamhofer, DT captain. "We pay more 'to get better material. Last season our alumni really had to shell out." The DT team will field an all- veteran lineup with one exception, virtually the same squad that ruined the Bruins' season in 1948. Blake's supporting cast includes Automatic Hank Ives, conversion specialist. Ives drop kicks extra points, field goals, and little children. Dapper Dick Angell is a triple threat sensation on waivers from the Sigma Chi house. He runs, passes, and shakes hands with rushees. Ambling George Ambrose is a rugged 6-foot 2-inch 125-pound blocking back who leads interference for Jess Hill in the off-season. Hustlin' Harley Tinkliam, back for his fifth campaign, is an all-around athlete and decathlon champion of 36th street grade school. jaysee when a wealthy alum offered him half of San Marino. Jarrin' Jerry Boyd. 225-pound tackle, is up from the Chaifey farm club and appears headed for greater things. Game captain Lamhofer holds down the other tackle slot.

Erburu recently received an A in his fundamental activities class for centering the ball.

There are some talented young swimmers among the Springside Chestnut Hill Academy girls, but aside from a pair of 11th graders, the Lions' roster is made of freshmen and sophomores.
SCH encountered a more seasoned squad during last Wednesday afternoon's excursion to Penn Charter, where juniors and seniors swimming for the Quakers won almost all of the individual events while also making a strong showing in the relays.
The result was a 99-75 victory for host PC, which improved to 3-3 overall while the Lions slipped to 2-4.
Veteran Penn Charter coach Paul Coleman, who arrived on the School House Lane campus in 2001 and spent many of the intervening years guiding the girls' team, has now moved over to pilot the boys' squad.
The new mentor for the Quaker girls, and for the Penn Charter Aquatic Club, is Crystal Keelan. After graduating from Council Rock North High School in Newtown, Keelan swam at York College of Pennsylvania, then she returned to her high school alma mater for a five-year stint as head coach before coming to Penn Charter.
Keelan's new team opened last Wednesday's meet by claiming the top two places in the 200-yard medley relay, with times of two minutes, 1.50 seconds, and 2:06.17.
The winning quartet consisted of senior Carly Zurcher, sophomore Nicole Cousounis, junior Amanda Beck, and senior Meredith Wurtz, and in second place were sophomore Maddie Mahoney, senior Maria Georgiou, and juniors Glynis Braun and Anna Ten Have.
Last November Wurtz signed a letter of intent to continue her swimming career at Marist College, and Georgiou, a champion rower, will pursue that sport at the University of Pennsylvania. The Quakers' third senior tri-captain, Zurcher, also plays water polo and softball at PC, and she is still sorting out her college options.
Springside Chestnut Hill placed third in the opening relay last Wednesday, with the foursome of Lexi Prochniak, Cait Klauder, Gwyn Bjordammen, and Nicole Novo timed in 2:12.78. All are freshmen except Klauder, an eighth-grader.
Also in the first segment of swimming events, the Quakers captured victories in the 200-yard freestyle (Ten Have; 2:10.13), the 200 individual medley (Georgiou; 2:24.04), and the 50 free (Beck; 26.81 seconds). Cousounis delivered second place in the 200 free in 2:14.26.
SCH had freshman Lexi Smilow finish second in the 200 I.M. (2:31.20) and third in the 200 free (2:33.10), while Prochniak was runner-up in the 50 free (28.14). The Lions also had third-place showings from sophomore Maddy Aslansan in the 50 free (30.55) and freshman Anna Kane in the 200 I.M. (2:41.69).
There was a break for the diving competition, where PC swept the top three places thanks to (in order of finish) freshmen Willow Tierno and Caroline Uhlman, and junior Sasha Gorski.
The swimming resumed with the host team going one-two in the 100 butterfly through the efforts of Zurcher (1:04.20) and Braun (1:08.08), while visiting freshman Jenna Yorko was third (1:18.08). Winning the 100 free in 57.68 seconds, PC's Wurtz was followed by two ninth-graders, Bjordammen of SCH (1:02.14) and the Quakers' own Caitlin McLafferty (1:06.85).
The home team's Ten Have took the 500 free in 5:59.61, and in this 20-lap affair Novo, the SCH freshman, was not very far behind, with a time of 6:02.01. Another Lions swimmer, sophomore Maddie Nicol, placed third in 6:12.65.
Next up were the freestyle sprinters in the 200-yard relay, and here the winning figure of 1:49.82 was recorded by PC's Wurtz, Mahoney, Ten Have, and Georgiou. The Lions had sophomore Kyra Jackson, Yorko, Prochniak and Bjordammen come in second at 1:54.39, and in third with a time of 2:01.87 was the Quaker quartet of freshman Pam Gonzalez, McClafferty, junior Cherie Doan, and Zurcher.
Beck tabbed her second individual victory of the day for PC by winning the 100 backstroke in 1:05.49. Her teammate, Mahoney, was third in 1:15.18, and in between was the Lions' Prochniak, in 1:09.54.
By this point in the meet, Penn Charter had built up a 99-54 lead in the team scoring. For the last two events the Quakers took their foot off the gas and participated on an exhibition basis, allowing SCH to reduce the point spread.
The top three places in the 100 breast stroke went to the Lions' Novo (1:21.97), Klauder (1:29.38), and freshman Alexandra Fiol-Mahon (1:38.53). Unofficially, PC's Cousounis completed the race in 1:17.62.
First pace in the 400 free relay went to Nicol, sophomore Yane Willie, Smilow, and Novo of SCH in 4:46.60, while off-the-books, Charter's Wurtz, Cousounis, Braun and Georgiou finished in 4:04.71.

Reviewing and analyzing a family history document for a second time is almost always valuable and eye-opening due to the facts and information that you can see which might have been overlooked for some reason on the first read.
While entering information about Patrick Graham and his wife Catherine (nee McRae), my second great grandparents in my maternal family line, there was information, particularly from census records that provided new leads to deepen my knowledge of the lives of their children.
Patrick, a tailor by trade, had immigrated to Upper Canada (now Ontario, Canada) sometime likely in the 1830's. Catherine was born in Glengarry County of what is now Ontario in 1822. I don't know when nor how they met but they married around 1838, according to Roman Catholic marriage registers. Their first child was James, born in 1842. Three daughters were to follow, including my great grandmother Margaret, born in 1854.
The census record for the family in January 1852, (the 1851 census in Canada was delayed) shows the family living in a frame house in the village of East Gwillimbury, north of Toronto, and oldest child and only son James going to school. About ten years later, the 1861 census records show that the family had moved about three miles west to the village of Holland Landing and that James had left school, moved north to the town of Barrie and was an apprentice shoemaker.
Sometime before 1870, James married Mary Ann Duffy and around 1870, they welcomed their first child, William, into their family. James had also taken up a new profession - that of innkeeper. In 1871, James and Mary Ann were living in the village (perhaps hamlet?) of Essa, Ontario, due west of Barrie. No mention is included in the record of the name of the inn that he kept and despite searches through various histories of the area at that time, I can find no mention of James or the inn.
Tragedy struck however on May 17, 1874 when Mary Ann gave birth to their second child, also a boy, and both mother and child died. According to the death registrations, the unnamed baby boy died within "a few minutes" of birth followed soon after by his 25 year-old mother.
Sometime before 1878, James re-married, this time to Mary Guilfoyle. James and Mary had three daughters, Catherine Louise, Mary Isabella, and Anna May. Over the next 25 years, James continued to live in the Simcoe County, Ontario area, occasionally moving between some of the area's small towns and villages. His profession during this time was always listed as Hotel Keeper. James passed away of heart failure at the age of 61, on June 19, 1903.
Looking at a record for a second time, in this case, a census record, lead to a cascade of new information, and records, connected to this family. My intention is to continue hunting for records about James' hotel as my gut instinct is that there have got to be some fascinating stories about life in the hotels of that era. The Barrie, Ontario library has an on-line obituary index showing that there are two local newspapers that contained obituaries for James. Unfortunately, other than giving the name of the newspaper and date of the obituary, no other details were available but it may be the best place of start. I can feel a field trip coming on!

COLLEGE STATION – Florida coach Will Muschamp, a former Texas defensive coordinator, was asked Tuesday night at the Polk County Gator Club (that's Polk County, Fla., not Polk County, Texas) to share his thoughts on the atmosphere at Texas A&M.
The Aggies enter the Southeastern Conference on July 1 and Florida plays at A&M on Sept. 8, in the Aggies' first SEC contest in any sport.
"It will be a very SEC-like atmosphere," Muschamp said, according to the Lakeland Ledger. "It's one of the few places in the Big 12 that I would say that about."
He added, "You ever been to College Station? It'll be the only time you go."
Ouch. Zinger. Welcome to the SEC. There might be a reason Muschamp is a little irate toward A&M, however, considering Cyrus Gray's backside was the last thing he saw in Aggie gear, during A&M's 24-17 victory in Austin in 2010.
Gray, now with the Kansas City Chiefs, rushed for 223 yards, most ever by an Aggie against the Longhorns, in Muschamp's final game at UT. Honestly, it's good to see a little good-natured welcome for the Ags to the SEC where, as Muschamp pointed out, they'll fit right in.

EDIT: I would say some of the later cuts need a little fine tuning, the edits with Guts and Griffith, to Guts and Gambino are a little abrupt. I would consider that a very difficult obstacle to overcome though considering how much material you have available to work with.
I think it's pretty cool. I wouldn't mind pitching in to add bits from the manga if you don't think that would be too jarring.
I really like the idea you have going with these. They seem to work really well keeping it very minimal almost giving it a flashback feel. I think example 1 just needs a little bit more sanding down, to help get things flowing better. Than again, I don't really have my copy of vol 1 on hand to reference too. I'll edit this in the morning when I've had more sleep, but yeah I really like this.
I'm enjoying this! It's interesting to see exactly how much the creators of the anime altered the original work in their attempts to compress a much longer narrative.
Like Bob said, it's got a nice flashbacky feel to it, so that even if we don't get to see the portions that were omitted, it's still fun to feel like you're "watching" parts of the manga. I think you've got an exciting project on your hands Griff, and I'd definitely like to see more!
I've watched the first two minutes so far and I already notice a wealth of difference when compared to the original anime. The original cut gave you the impression that Guts was there to save the girl and her family, which made him more of a 'Dark Knight' figure. This new cut gives you the impression that Guts is there for a more selfish motive, that he's far more reactive (the girl in the original cut screams to warn Guts of the last guy he cuts in half) and that he's a conflicted individual. All that improvement from two minutes in. I'll gladly back this work up and wish to see more
Like I suggested to Griff last night, that particular transition could benefit from employing the dream sequence in episode 1, where we first see the God Hand. It could transition from Griffith's "ultimate principle" speech to Femto, and Guts saying "Griffith..." Similar to how Miura does it in volume 3. Buuuut the problem there is that that dream sequence isn't in the manga at all, so it's against the whole principle of the project.
I can see how this thing would be headache-inducing... Still, it's a great concept and a valiant effort to correct the wrongs of the anime.
Gonna go this far Griffith? Come on, you can do it:http://www.erikthejuiceman.com/wingowongo.jpg
Cool project! I like the idea of the re-edit that's true to the manga. I'd love to see Wyad's EPIC fight incorporated in the series. I watched the old aniime first before reading the manga, and was in such a good surprise when that fight popped up.
I don't think color grading Femto would be that hard. Time consuming, but not hard with a little after effects. Lots of rotoscoping.
I think you should stay limited in what you do. Adding stuff is a little drastic, but editing existing material so it fits better with the manga's sequencing is a totally realizeable task. I dont think anyone really expects NEW animation in this.
Will you be subbing the anime so it's in line with the original manga dialog too? It also gives you an opportunity to get words and names correct (Beherit etc)
I don't think color grading Femto would be that hard. Time consuming, but not hard with a little after effects. Lots of rotoscoping.
Yeah without even thinking about how to properly do it, I know it'd be possible to just batch process a color adjustment on the frames using Photoshop.
Colors were another thing I was going to just let go, but you guys are making a good push. I don't know, I'm only half kidding about the black and white thing. One of my original ideas was to try and get it down to about three hours, black & white, and have it be like an old Kurosawa movie.
Making it into a feature film type of deal would be epic. I do admit liking of what I've seen so far. Keep up the good work.
If it wasn't in the manga, it's likely gone with a few exceptions, right down to a single word, phrase, or even laugh removed in some cases.
This is more into the future but when you do start showing theses episodes, you should either host them on the site here or post them up on a torrent site.

Samantha McLean needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 104 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Paycorp http://www.paycorp.com.au
Paycorp is a specialist payments company specialising in PCI-DSS compliant payment solutions. We also supply a number of corporate clients with hosted payment pages and receivables management (electronic billing and payment). We ensure security of users credit card information through our vault products. We are proudly Australian and also have UK operation which is hosted on the Plus market.
We are also about to release two new products to the market which will be targeting particular marketing verticals. So there may be some ongoing work here - watch this space.
We are professional, but friendly and approachable. Our products are consistent with cutting edge technology, but our current logo does not accurately demonstrate this!
So we would really appreciate some designers who will help us update our image!
We have a few target audiences.
- One part of our business looks at large corporates who require custom PCI DSS solutions
- Another part of our business sells services to vertical markets - like Real Estate Agents (Rentpay http://www.rentpay.com.au) and Gyms.
Our logo was designed about ten years ago and looks a little dated now. We are looking to update this logo and demonstrate our commitment to security, flexibility and extremely high quality standards, while remaining friendly and professional.
The logo itself also looks very similar to someone else's logo (although theirs came later!!!). As a newly hired marketing manager, I feel that need to be not only more modern, but more professional. We are not looking for a radical change, but would appreciate some creativity!
Please don't use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
We'd prefer the file in raw illustrator format to be able to save it into multiple different types of files (eg Web, Print Material etc).
We've attached the existing corporate identity for you to consider.
We also have a tagline "the payment solutions company" which is currently trademarked

As it does every four or five years, the video game industry is rebooting itself this year. Instead of rolling out brand new game systems for the living room, though, manufacturers are looking to build on the market they've already created.
"The video game sector is nearing a turning point, with the potential for new hardware innovations and a strong development pipeline to reinvigorate growth," says Colin Sebastian, an analyst with Lazard Capital Markets.
There was a lot of new hardware and technology on display and being talked about at E3, the gaming industry's annual trade show. Here's a look at some of the more interesting pieces.

One definition of democracy is the ability of voters to cast a ballot in secret. But every Election Day, one specific group of voters is deprived of this right -- voters with disabilities.
Here in New York City, where there are estimated to be over a million residents living with disabilities, an unknown number are eligible voters who require assistance to cast a ballot on Election Day. Those who choose to vote are forced to divulge their selection: Blind people must tell somebody their choice since the current voting machines do not include Braille, as must physically restricted people since there are no "sip and puff" provisions or other modern assistive technology.
Disabled voters who do not wish to disclose their vote or have difficulties traveling to their local poll site are able to request an absentee ballot from the Board of Elections. This allows voters to vote through a mail-in ballot prior to Election Day. There are currently 22,217 permanent absentee ballot voters in the city; experts speculate that many of these voters are disabled.
But soon things are supposed to improve for the disabled voter, thanks to what is officially known as "Plan B" -- ironically, a reflection of New York's failure to do what it was supposed to do.
How The "Help America Vote Act" Can Help
In addition to standardizing and modernizing the face of elections nationwide, the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) was also intended to provide individuals with disabilities access to the polls to cast an independent and private vote on Election Day. But here in New York, the implementation of HAVA is in limbo, with a federal lawsuit looming over the State Board of Elections due to its non-compliance and delay.
The judge mandated the state board to provide a plan for implementation of new voting systems and a statewide voter registration database.
The interim solution proposed by the State Board of Elections, also known as â€Plan B' calls for the purchase and limited deployment of special machines to aid disabled voters under HAVA. These devices will assist voters in completing paper ballots in various ways. For example, a visually impaired voter would go into a booth,put on a headphone, and have a recorded voice read the names on the ballot. The voter might have a joystick, and the voice would say, for example, "Push the joystick to the left for Eliot Spitzer, to the right for John Faso." The machine will then print out a paper ballot with the voter's choices.
Throughout New York, most counties have stated their ability to accommodate only one or two of such assistive devices to be placed in a central location for disabled voters on Election Day. The New York City board plans to purchase ballot marking devices for 2006 to be placed in the five borough offices.
On June 2nd, the court signed off on the state's proposed plan, but also required the state to develop a comprehensive strategy by mid August to replace all lever machines in 2007.
Access at a Price
Although voters with disabilities will have the new option of voting at the borough office on a ballot-marking device in 2006, the jury is still out as to whether this plan will actually enfranchise voters to vote in an independent and private manner. The rush to implement a separate voting process for disabled voters, coupled with the novelty of ballot markers, is a recipe for problems on Election Day. Also, since ballot markers will be placed centrally, disabled voters must travel to cast an unassisted ballot beyond their local polling site. Additionally, since disabled voters are the only voters to vote on the new machines, it can be easily determined how they voted as a group, therefore compromising the confidentiality of their vote.
In response to such concerns, State Senator John Flanagan from Long Island called for the legislature to provide $10 million more in state funds for the purchase of additional voting machines for the disabled in 2006.
But election officials are hesitant to purchase additional machines under the interim solution since counties will choose new voting systems in 2007 that may not be compatible to the ballot markers for 2006.
Groups such as Citizens Union Foundation (for whom I work) have submitted legal briefs that oppose the proposed plan, arguing that such a partial solution is ineffective and that it would make more sense to wait for a more comprehensive implementation of HAVA in 2007. The City Council has introduced a resolution that also advocates for such course of action. Although the court has signed off on "Plan B", the judge has set July 6th to hear Citizen Union Foundation's amicus motion and also to entertain the intervention motion made by the New York Public Interest Research Group and other groups in the HAVA suit.
Regardless of the court decision, it is up to the State Board of Elections and county boards in the state to ensure that voters with disabilities have access to a private and independent vote.
"New Yorkers with disabilities have been waiting for over 200 years to have full access to voting machines, polling places and the ballot," said Brad Williams of the New York State Independent Living Council, a statewide non-profit disability organization. "It is time that New York State be compelled to honor their moral and legal responsibilities…"

Cute as a Cupcake -...(12/22/2011)Well, I sent this to my mother for Christmas. However when she received it, the tag attached said Happy Valentine's Day. This should be stated somewhere in the description so people do not purchase for a different occasion. Otherwise, the bundle was adorable and tasted fabulous (or so I was told).

The decline in natural gas stocks has been anything but natural lately.
With ample stores and cheap prices, natural gas-related equities have taken a beating and continue to be battered.
While it is always difficult to call a bottom, the tide may be turning for natural gas companies despite the latest data.
The price of natural gas fell again last week after the government reported an unexpectedly large increase in supply. To date, natural gas prices have slumped to levels not seen in 10 years.
Recent Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports reveal that the energy industry continues to deliver gas at a faster rate than Americans can consume it.
US supplies grew by 42 billion cubic feet in the week ended March 30, pushing the country's total supply to 2.5 trillion cubic feet. According to Platts, a premier source for energy prices, industry analysts had expected supplies to grow between 33 billion to 37 billion cubic feet.
With natural gas stores bursting at the seams, some of the nation's largest producers have announced plans to scale back production.
Jen Snyder, head of North American gas for research firm Wood Mackenzie told the Washington Post, "There hasn't been enough demand to use all the supply being pushed into the market."
Where prices go from here depends a great deal on the weather.
Commodity Prices Drive Natural Gas Companies
A mild spring is forecast for most of the country, and the pleasant weather is expected to push natural gas prices even lower. A hot summer would enhance demand for the fuel as people crank up their air conditioners, requiring natural gas-fueled power plants to burn more of it.
Just this week natural gas prices continued their slide, falling below $2 per cubic foot.
Prices have not been below $2 since January 2002. Meanwhile, oil prices have stayed high and are taking a hefty chunk out of consumers' wallets.
Even so, several industry analysts see huge potential in the natural gas sector.
According to Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors, low natural gas prices offer great opportunity.
"First," Moors said, "the price of natural gas will rise again. It's inevitable. And there is plenty of fundamental evidence in other commodity markets as to why. It might not be tomorrow, but it's coming."
"Second, and more important, investors seem so overly focused on the near-term asset performance that they fail to recognize real long-term potential," said Moors.
That allows investors to get in on natural gas companies while they are still cheap.

Sizing Chart
Given each bride / bridesmaids measurements, we work with each individual to decide upon which size would work best.
We suggest our lovely brides / bridesmaids have themselves measured at their local tailor or dressmaker if ordering online, otherwise our staff are able to measure you in store. If none of these options are available, use a soft measuring tape and follow the guidelines below:
- Always measure over undergarments for the most precise information.
- Hold the tape measure close to the body but not too tight. Allow a finger's width between the body and the tape.
- BUST: Measure the fullest part of your bust. Be proud!
- WAIST: The tape should wrap around the waist at the same level as your garment's waist. Samantha Wynne dresses are high-waisted (the level of your navel) while our skirts are meant to sit slightly lower. Don't suck in! Be comfortable.
- HIP: Measure the fullest part of your hip. Girls, this is your least favourite area.
Next, use our sizing chart to find your nearest Samantha Wynne size. Keep in mind that we have specially created these sizing formulas according to our dress patterns, so your Samantha Wynne size may not be the same as your usual size.

Brother supplies official linux drivers for the HL-2030. These, however come in the form of RPM packages. They can be installed on Arch in two ways: Either using the AUR PKGBUILD or manually following these instructions.
Download drivers
First create a temporary directory. Then you must download the official LPR drivers from the Brother website in that directory. Click here . This is a RPM archive. You have to download the cupswrapper file. Right here. This script creates the filters and PPD file for CUPS automatically. It's an RPM archive too.
Extracting the RPM files
Now you need a small script called rpmextract which allows you to get the files included in the RPM you've just downloaded. Log in as root and execute :
# pacman -S rpmextract
Extract both RPM files :
$ rpmextract.sh brhl2030lpr-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm $ rpmextract.sh cupswrapperHL2030-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm
It should give you two directories : usr and var.
Editing files to make them work with Arch
Arch Linux uses its own file system organisation, so you have to edit some files. Use your favorite text editor (i.e. vi) to open the file named cupswrapperHL2030-2.0.1. If you created the temporary directory "tmp" in your home, it must be in /home/user/tmp/usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper. In this file, you must replace all the /etc/init.d/ occurences by /etc/rc.d/. Then you have to edit the file usr/local/Brother/inf/setupPrintcap, and replace /etc/printcap.local by /etc/printcap.
When it's done, copy all the files in their corresponding directories :
# cp -r /home/user/tmp/usr/* /usr # cp -r /home/user/tmp/var/* /var
Installing the driver and printer
Go into /usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/ and run the cupswrapper file :
# cd /usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/ # ./cupswrapperHL2030-2.0.1
It will stop the cups daemon if it's running, and restart it. Now go to the CUPS page - http://localhost:631/ - and in the Administartion category, choose Manage printers. There you should see a HL2030 printer automatically installed and configured. Click to print the test page, and you can hear the sweet sound of your printer.
Compatibility with Brother HL-2035
Brother does not (yet) provide specific drivers for the HL-2035, but the HL-2030 drivers seem to work fine for this model as well. Use at your own risk, though.
Common Issues
If you have done all the steps above, and the printer will either not appear in your cups interface or if you want to print sth. the printer will just warm up and then not print anything, the following is reported to have helped:
- install the hal cups utils:
pacman -S hal-cups-utils
- visit your cups interface, and under "administration" hit "find new printer". Surprisingly, it should be found. In the next step, choose the ppd file (found in /usr/share/cups/model/HL2030.ppd) and everything should work just fine ...

Welcome to this our latest edition of Product Review Friday. Today we feature the second of the two products sent to us by that sizzlin' hot company, Spare Parts Hardware.
But wait, you didn't miss the first of our reviews, did you? Well not to worry if you did, because you can find it all our previous reviews archived on my Product Review site, Dr Dick's Sex Toy Reviews. You'll find our first Spare Parts Hardware review HERE:
Today we welcome back Dr Dick Review Crew member, Carlos. We've missed you sir and we're so glad you're back with us.
Deuce Male Harness – $139.99
Thanks, Dr Dick, it's good to be back.
Those of you who follow my reviews may recall that way back in October 2007, when I participated in my first review; I mentioned I was having some prostate problems. I've been calling attention to that issue ever since. Well, earlier this year, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and soon there after I went under the knife. I had a radical prostatectomy, which removed my prostate gland as well as and some of the surrounding tissue.
Like my Dr Dick Review Crew colleague, Angie, who was diagnosed with lymphoma over a year ago, I've been struggling to regain a sense of my sexual-self post surgery. No one; not my doctors, not my nurses, not anyone in the cancer support group I attend ever talks about sex and sexuality post diagnosis and treatment. It's criminal really.
The surgery impacted every aspect of my sex life — with my myself, with my wife and the periodic connections I used to have with some of my men friends. Thank god I've been able to count on Dr Dick to help me through this, because if I had to do this alone I don't see how I would have made it.
I want to repeat something Angie said. "There is precious little information about sex and sexuality available to cancer survivors. No one seemed to be capable of speaking clearly and unambiguously about how a cancer diagnosis and treatment impacts a person's intimate life. This conspiracy of silence has got to stop!"
Since the surgery I haven't had a full erection. Dr Dick tells me that I may regain that capacity with time. I also no longer have an ejaculation. That Dr Dick tells me is gone for good. That really bums me out, but I can still have an orgasm, so I'm really happy for that. Dr Dick gave me some exercises to help me with the arousal phase of my sexual response cycle, mostly it masturbation sorts of things. He also suggested that rather than going without partnered sex, I could try a strap on. Hell, I didn't even know there were strap ons for men. As you can see, I had a lot to learn.
And this is what gets me to the fantastic Deuce Male Harness that I want to tell you about today. It looks and wears just like a jockstrap. It's completely adjustable so it always fits perfectly. It's made of a very sensual fabric. And it's completely machine washable. Oh, and did I mention it is smokin' hot? It really bolsters my sexual self-confidence. And that's about the best therapy there is.
Ok, so let's take a closer look at the Deuce starting with the fabric. Like I mentioned earlier, it's soft, silky and body hugging. It's a nylon and spandex blend, which makes it stretchy and durable. If you're trying to picture it in your mind's eye think a quality swimsuit material. All the adjustment sliders are made of a durable hard plastic.
The front panel is super functional. The pouch, just like a jock, cradles your own equipment. If you're gonna just use a dildo or dong with the Deuce. There is a built-in O-ring to stabilize your dong of choice. But here's the BIG plus; there is an opening below the O-ring that allows you to slip you're your cock through so that you can use your own johnson along with the dildo. This is ideal for double penetration; or if you simply want to experiment with a bigger dildo than your own cock; or if you want to keep pleasuring your partner after you shoot your load. Ya see, there are lots of reasons a guy might want to use a strap on even if his own unit works perfectly well.
Unlike the more traditional leather harnesses, the Deuce is really sporty looking. The wide waistband, with the attractive Spare Parts Hardware logo on it, adjusts using velcro. There's also a second set of adjusting straps on the waistband to gain precision snugness. Even the leg straps are adjustable.
You can use a lot of different kinds and sizes of dongs and dildos, just as long as the ones you choose have a base. And putting the dildo or dong in place is super easy, the O-ring is very accommodating.
Don't be afraid of using lots of lube, because as I mentioned earlier you just pop the Deuce in the washer and you're done with the cleanup. Don't even think of trying that with a conventional leather harness.
The Deuce comes with a zippered storage bag. And there's even a pocket in the bag for condoms and/or a small bottle of lube. It's idea for travel.
Finally, let me compliment Spare Parts Hardware on their packaging. It's beautifully simple, yet amazingly classy and every part of the packaging is completely recyclable. Kudos!

Matt Bishop's Mania Moments will take a look at the top 28 moments in WrestleMania history as we lead up to WrestleMania 28 on April 1 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
No. 24 - Bret Hart has WrestleMania to remember
The event: WrestleMania X
Where: Madison Square Garden, New York City
The moment: Bret Hart captures WWF Championship
WrestleMania X has to be one of the crowning achievements of Bret Hart's illustrious career.
After being declared the co-winner of the 1994 Royal Rumble with Lex Luger, both men would receive WWF Championship matches at WrestleMania. Hart earned the right to have the second match, in the main event, but would end up pulling double duty, wrestling his brother Owen Hart in the opener.
That match is widely considering to be on of the top matches in WrestleMania history and saw Owen upset Bret. The two would battle back-and-forth, each locking in the Sharpshooter at points, but it was Owen who would block Bret's victory roll attempt out of the corner, sit down on it and get the three count in a tremendous 20-minute match.
A few hours later, Hart came back out to challenge the gigantic 586-pound Yokozuna, victorious by disqualification over Luger earlier, for the world championship.
With Rowdy Roddy Piper as the special guest referee, Hart's leg was still hurt from his match with Owen and Yokozuna jumped on him right as he entered the ring. Yokozuna would dominate the match until Hart moved out of the way of Yokozuna's corner back splash. Hart would hit a bulldog and start to fire up. Yokozuna, though, would catch Hart in a belly-to-belly throw and bring him over to the corner for the deadly Bonzai Drop, but he lost his balance on the rope, falling backward (with Hart moving), allowing Hart to cover and get the three count.
Hart would eventually rise as the good guy locker room would empty to congratulate him in the ring.
Why it was important: This would be Hart's second title reign and would be sweet revenge after being cheated out of the title by Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji at WrestleMania IX. The win here cemented Hart as one of the top stars of the new World Wrestling Federation.
No. 23 - Brock Lesnar tries to defy gravity
The event: WrestleMania XIX
Where: Safeco Field, Seattle
The moment: Brock Lesnar tries to cap WrestleMania with a bang
The two went back-and-forth in an epic match (even though Angle had a severely injured neck at the time). Both men would hit their big moves but Lesnar pulled ahead with not one, but two F5's to the champion. That wasn't enough, though. Lesnar sat up in the corner with a smile on his face, got to his feet and went to the outside where he climbed the ropes to the top turnbuckle. As he climbed, the buzz in the crowd started increasing. He steadied himself and came off the top with a Shooting Star Press but ended up coming up short on the move, jamming his head between Angle and the canvas.
Angle quickly moved to cover Lesnar, who kicked out at two. Angle would pull Lesnar up, but Lesnar kicked him in the gut and gave him another F5, draping one arm over him for the cover and the championship win.
Why it was important: A few inches in the other direction and Lesnar might've had his career ended or severely altered. All told, he suffered a concussion and was able to return to defend his title at the next pay-per-view. It could've been much, much worse.
No. 22 - Hulk Hogan captures title in shocking finish
The event: WrestleMania IX
Where: Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
The moment: Hogan fights for the right of every man, wins title
At Hart's insistence, Hogan returned to the ring and it was on, as Yokozuna grabbed Hogan and held him for another salt attack from Fuji. This time, it backfired as Hogan ducked and the salt hit Yokozuna. Hogan hit a clothesline and then the famous leg drop, pinning Yokozuna and winning his fifth WWF championship.
Why it was important: This would be Hogan's last title reign before leaving for World Championship Wrestling and his last WWF title reign for nine years.

All the family entailed, was two Crosshairs, which i just made from Specialty Equipment Families to be consistent. (The whole assembly is a Spec. Equip. family so it can be scheduled...) In any event, the Distance Parameters have to be shared, obviously... That way they can be reported in a schedule.
There are the pull tabs, if you choose to go that route... I prefer the align tool for this application, but i can see why it may not be ideal. The align tool is tough if your object isn't parallel with the Crosshair, so i was using a Component that was just an empty crosshair, that i placed on all the Floor Edges ahead of time. Again, not a perfect solution, as it requires of you to accurately pick the points to be located and scheduled.
I have to admit... After a few years at UB doing Ink on Mylar of obscure objects, part of me wanted to print this... for no practical use. But alas, save a tree, hit Print Screen, lol.

A film by
Julie Gustafson
Teenage Girls' Documentary Project
2005, 85 minutes, Color, DVD
Order No. W05877
Nearly a decade in the making, this refreshingly honest film documents the challenges and desires of a group of young women in New Orleans by letting them film their own stories. As this diverse group of young women - two teenagers from the Desire housing projects, a single mother from the working-class suburb of Belle Chase across the river, and two girls from the most prestigious private high school in New Orleans�make short films about their own desires, this provocative film records the intimate dramas of their changing lives.
Sensitively and intelligently interweaving the girls' short videos throughout the film�s narrative, DESIRE pivots around the intimacy and risk that the two generations of filmmakers share together and with the audience. Addressing everything from sex and contraception to the impact of educational and material opportunities on their futures as women, DESIRE presents a nuanced and authentic look at modern young womanhood.

"A film so full of spirit and life you don't want it to end."
Barbara Kopple
Academy Award-winning Documentary Filmmaker
�Presents the most insightful portrayal of teenaged girls' decision-making and sexuality ever available in film or print. Gustafson and the young ladies (her teenage collaborators) together capture moments that brilliantly speak to American understanding of race and class, as well as the whole process of growing � up. Poignant and touching, the film is suitable for women�s studies, sociology, American & cultural history, urban and rural history.
Susan Tucker
Tulane University
�Reaches acoss all racial, ethnic and class lines to discuss teens, girls, sex, early parenthood-- and above all--choice. This is a "must see" for teens and those who love and support them.�
Pat Pauozzi, CNM, Dr. Phd
Healthy Teen Network
�A touching and fully textured collective portrait. Gustafson�s understated compassion makes DESIRE an affecting coming-of-age portrait, offering an intimate look into the minor tragedies and triumphs in the lives of a handful of young women. Highly recommended.�
Video Librarian
"...far surpassed my expectations...a very real look into the lives of modern teenage girls. The insights provided by DESIRE can be used at many levels. Highly recommended for high schools, colleges, and adults who deal with teens."
Educational Media Reviews Online
"Desire casts an illuminating light on the inner world, the dilemmas, the evolving sexual identities of teenage girls. Freud didn�t know what women want � Gustafson gives us an insightful, sometimes disturbing idea of what teenage girls desire � whether it�s about going to college versus having a job, stopping to smoke, liking women instead of men, or deciding between having a baby or finish high school."
Berenice Reynaud
Senses of Cinema
"A very moving, bittersweet, and intimate look at the impact of culture, class, race, and family values on young women determined to take charge of their own lives."
�A vibrant portrait of teenage life. Viewers will identify with the young women. �A valuable discussion starter for high school collections.�

Every woman over 50 complains about thinning hair, but it's still taboo talk. We'll discuss our gastric bypass procedures, breast lifts, vagina makeovers and stints in rehab before we admit to skinny hair. I'm not including serious hair loss like hereditary female-pattern baldness, alopecia or medical related issues here, just everyday wimpy, my-hair-isn't-what-it-used-to-be hair. Magazines often address "fine hair," but never in an age-related way because it's not "sexy." Here are five solutions that are and celebs with the looks that work:
Go shorter. Stop substituting length for quality. Long stringy hair does not make you look youthful or healthy, just stuck in a rut. How short depends on your style, attitude and guts. Annette Bening, Diane Keaton, Ellen Barkin, Kris Jenner, Halle Berry, Lisa Rinna, Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda have made shorter choppy cuts in one form or another their signature and never looked back. Scared? Try on a wig or go shorter by degrees over several months.
Layer and loosen up. Perfectly coiffed hair reveals your scalp more than tousled hair. When hair is layered and fattened up with a styling mist it moves and camouflages. How much layering depends on your hair texture and the overall look you want. A choppy bob with long layers at the ends and breezy side-swept bangs – like Diane Keaton or Helen Mirren – looks soft, feminine and classic. All-over, irregular-length layers with a piece-y look (like Lisa Rinna, Annette Bening or Jane Fonda) is edgier.
Upgrade your technology. An old blowdryer, like an ancient cell phone or computer, seriously dates you. Your dryer may still work, but it may be frying your hair to a dry, damaged state. Toss it for a new ionic dryer with infrared or tourmaline technology. These shorten drying time since negative ions evaporate water molecules faster and infrared waves dry hair from the inside out. No scorching or frizz! Splurge. Cheaper models are frankly not the same and burn-out quickly. You'll get the bonus of super lightweight, multiple heat and power settings for total control, a cold-shot button, a nozzle attachment and a quiet motor. Try: Solano 3300 XtraLite Dryer ($159, ulta.com) or Bio Ionic Whisper Lite Pro-Dryer ($114, the beautyplace.com).
Make the blowout a quickie. The faster you dry and style the better. Spray freshly washed hair with a light volumizing mist for lift at the roots and texture. Bend at the waist and use your fingers as a rake to ruffle sections or layers while moving the dryer around. Don't aim for perfection, just get your hair 75 to 80 percent dry, 100 percent dry if your cut is short and choppy like Bening's or Berry's. Use a round brush to finish heat styling medium-length layers. Try: Living Proof Full Root Lifting Hairspray ($26, livingproof.com) and Garnier Fructis Fall Straight Strand Saver Anti-Breakage Spray ($5.90, garnierusa.com).
Eat better! Healthy eating is sensual and social and you'll see improved hair in six months. You need three inches of new growth at a rate of 1/2 inch a month to see a difference and bangs show results first. Be sure you're getting a balance of protein, essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Hair supplements with biotin, amino acids, B vitamins and marine protein are great as an addition, not a substitute, for a good diet. Try: Viviscal Extra Strength for Women ($49.99, viviscal.com) and Sprayology Hair + Nail Tonic ($29, sprayology.com).

Funding issues and finding a suitable building partner have delayed a proposed $150 million mixed-use development project in Hardeeville.
Gateway Crossing Development Partners announced nearly a year ago the project slated for 319 acres off Interstate 95 and Exit 5 on Frontage Road.
Developers in May outlined a timetable for City Council that included construction by mid-November. That date is no longer feasible, said Ralph Braden, managing partner of Gateway Crossing Partners, project developers. Braden said the group is shooting for spring for when construction will begin.
He said this week he has partnered with Jim Chaffin and Jim Light to set a new timeline for the project that was expected to provide affordable housing, rental units, a grocery store, medical center and senior living facilities.
Braden said he contacted Hardeeville Mayor Bronco Bostick and City Manager Bob Nanni about 45 days ago to say that Gateway Crossing will contact them again with an update.
"We plan to go to the Mayor and City Council within the next two weeks to present our schedule," Braden said. "The new timeline will be as fast as we get it going, different from originally of course. There are always setbacks in developing, and when you are funding privately instead of going through a bank there's always problems. We have worked our way through it and working on our schedule."
Nanni said the last time he heard from Gateway Crossing was around mid-August.
"Last we had heard was that Gateway Crossing was going to get back to us after they fixed their financing," Nanni said. "We were told they would contact us within 45 to 60 days with an update, but we haven't heard anything from them yet. The plans of the Tax Increment Financing to pay for the development is still a question and we would like more information about that plan."
TIF is a financing method that uses future gains in taxes to finance current improvements.
Braden has new partners in Chaffin of Okatie and his Colorado-based partner Light. Braden said the two teamed up 35 years ago to form Chaffin Light Associates. They practice a "conservation-based development" which develops communities that works with the land instead of against it.
Chaffin will be the project manager and is a chairman of the Urban Land Institute. Braden said Chaffin Light Associates will manage and eventually take over the project.
"I wanted to find someone who wanted to do something that was right for the people of Hardeeville," Braden said. "I went to Chaffin and Light to establish a partnership with them because they have developed a lot of things locally like Spring Island and Callawassie."
Chaffin or Light could not be reached for comment.
In the meantime, Hardeeville Mayor Pro Tem Mike Sweeney had a different take on the project.
"Council expressed some initial interest, but it seemed as though Gateway Crossing was beginning to include other governmental areas in their presentation and want agreements by all," Sweeney said. "We have taken a 'wait and see' position, but will, of course listen to future proposals."
