American Hustle (UK - BD RB)
Marcus has a blast with O'Russell's latest Oscar nominated flim on Blu-ray.
Con-duo Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale) and his lover Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) are caught by FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper) and forced to work for him as he takes on a one man mission on corruption in local and nationwide government. As the operation develops the trio cross paths with ex-mafia hitman (Robert De Niro), a New Jersey Mayor (Jeremy Renner) and the even more unpredictably, Irving's Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence). American Hustle sees director David O. Russell playing in a Martin Scorsese style toybox but what's the result?
Just before The Wolf of Wall Street hit our screens, American Hustle was being praised as the big Oscar contender because of its ensemble cast and its crime and corruption tale. After The Wolf of Wall Street hit there suddenly seemed to be a surge of anti- American Hustle talk around the web and there seemed to be an odd feeling that you could only like one or other on the run up to the Oscars. To lay down my thoughts, I have to say I loved American Hustle on first viewing and even though The Wolf of Wall Street is my preferred film out of the two, this second viewing of American Hustle had me loving the film for all the same reasons I did the first time out.
The key to my enjoyment here, well beyond O'Russell's tight hold on his ever twisting but fairly loose tale is the sheer amount of fun the cast are having. The actors' enjoyment of their characters is felt in every scene. Bale, doing a pretty obvious spin on De Niro-isms at times has the actor feeling very comfortable and his usual intense on screen persona is replaced with a much warmer performance than normal, much akin to what O'Russell managed to get out of him in The Fighter. Amy Adams is just plain stunning in her super sexy, strong, yet vulnerable spin on a ballsy con-artist. Her costume choices are all striking in their own ways and have had much hype but it's the subtle stuff in her eyes and her responses to the other cast members that really makes her so memorable here and it adds yet another facet to Adams' incredibly varied filmography because we've never seen her like this.
Bradley Cooper keeps getting better. I never much liked the actor when he first started hitting our big screens but what with a fantastic turn in Silver Linings Playbook and now this, it's getting more difficult not to regard him as a big player in the world of movies. He is absolutely committed to this bullshitting smart mouthed FBI agency who just isn't letting go of the possibilities his recent collar might lead to. He's manic, funny, charming and the sort of douche bag you can't help but love in film. It doesn't stop there though. Jeremy Renner (who didn't get as much hype as the rest of the cast) is probably the best I've ever seen him. His character is meant to be a likable guy and he totally sells that. He has less to do than the others but you really feel for this character as the plot unravels and he brings a lot to what could have been a phoned in performance really.
Last up is Jennifer Lawrence. For a large part of the film, she's playing outside of the core characters but she eats up every scene she's in and it makes her every bit as key to the film as the rest of the crowd. She's borderline insane in this role but it's adorable. Argumentative, unpredictable and she spits out dialogue that will always put a smile on your face. Once again O'Russell seems to get so much more out of this young actress who can't seem to put a foot wrong of late and this entire ensemble make American Hustle shine.
But what of the plot? Well, it twists and it turns, the focus shifts between characters and while it's sometimes more comedic than dramatic (I bloody love the Louis C.K. scenes for this) the film drives along with a killer soundtrack and when twists come they work because the characters are so well used to make them work. I know a lot of people are questioning if David O'Russell has become a tad Oscar hungry with his choices of late and that's watered him down but I'm just not feeling that at all. This felt a lot like his lesser known I Heart Huckabees to me (which I adore). His sensibilities with characters bouncing off of once another, the cheeky grin with all of the films crossing over avenues and a underlining sense of madness feels like this director is taking all of the great stuff he's done in the past and can now play with them with ease within any world he's interesting in playing in. Sure American Hustle is a fairly routine tale but O'Russell is all over it and he more than makes it his own.
The 70s design of the film look good but not always great in this HD presentation. Oranges and yellows are prominent with a lot of browns replacing many of the usual blacks and it all makes for a warm affair. There's a fair bit of intentional grain throughout to add to the 70s style, though its never overbearing and colours can often bleed but it's all very much part of the film's design. Some details are crisp, especially in close ups, others are soft and sometimes have more of a DVD feel at times. Of course the glow of the film and the warm lighting keep this solidly in the realms of HD and some of the brighter scenes can look outright staggering. All in all this wasn't quite as sharp as I'd imagined it would look on home release, with softer elements than I expected but it all works within the world of the film and while the film doesn't leap off of the screen, its warm colours certainly makes it glow off of it.
The Scorsese style voice overs sounds fantastic in the centre speaker. Strong and crisp, they have a natural sound to the recording that sits differently to the wider dialogue in the film. The music on the soundtrack is the show off element of the track, sitting strong in all the speakers and filling the room no matter the musical style. Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' is a particularly great, filling the room with its disco sonic range and beginning a little montage of music that grows right up to a 'Delilah' peak courtesy of Tom Jones.
Sometimes in wider sets, such as long FBI corridors, shoutier dialogue gets a little muffled but in a realistic way, so it's certainly not a fault or a failing of the track and the same can be said for the lower, mumbled Bale dialogue from time to time but these are small things in the grand schemes because the combo of dialogue and a great selection of music on the soundtrack, this is a dynamic, full sounding track that has some great music based show off moments.
The Making of (16:37 HD) is a nice little overview with the cast and crew but not really long enough to be considering in-depth. Outside of that, it's just 11 Deleted Scenes. Most are alright but it does have a full length 'Live and Let Die' scene with Jennifer Lawrence house cleaning to the McCartney track in even wilder ways than what we see in the film. Fantastic stuff.
American Hustle doesn't seem to have the same good will it had towards it when it first hit, which to me is odd. It's a solid piece of entertainment with a great cast having a whole lot of fun throughout. Sure the plot isn't focused on as much of the characters playing around with each other but O'Russell makes this all feel utterly intentional and he's obviously having a blast with his cast in the frantic long con that's on the verge of falling apart at every turn. The disc looks good in a retro kind of way, sounds great with its awesome soundtrack but the extras are a tad thin on the ground.

... to run my Roland VG-88 through. So I don't need tubes, don't need a preamp section, don't need anything but two 12's or two 10's and a stereo power amp, maybe 60 watts per channel. As lightweight as possible of course.
One option is I could just put a stereo power amp in a SKB case for the head and use a 2-12 or 2-10 cab under it. Maybe a Rocktron Velocity 100 amp would be enough, though it's only 40w per channel into 8 ohm speakers. Also, I can't seem to find how heavy it is.
The other option of using a little speaker / amp combination like the Tech21 power Engine 60 would be fine, except so far as I can tell no one makes one with a stereo power amp and two 12" or 10" speakers.
Anything out there I'm not aware of? Any of you guys tried either Rocktron unit? What did you think of it?

TOPEKA � The Newton High School girls' swimming team needed a surge in the final three meets of the Class 5-4-3-2-1A State Swimming and Diving Championships to stay in the top 10.?Newton, aided by a fourth-place finish in the 400-yard freestyle relay, Newton moved into eighth place.?Blue Valley Southwest won the team title with 326 points, followed by St. Thomas Aquinas at 234 and Wichita Trinity Academy at 183. Newton scored 105 points.?The Railers were fourth among public schools and fourth among non-northeast Kansas schools.?"The girls swam great," Newton coach Philip Schmidt said. "They cut some considerable time the past two days. Hana (Robinson) had to swim breaststroke and turn around for the 400 relay. That was tough for her. She was disappointed in her breaststroke time, but hit the cool down pool, swam a couple laps and put it out of her head."?Senior Katrina Gerbrand claimed four medals for the Railers, two individual and two relay. Gerbrand was named second-team all-state by the coaches association, based on state finish.?"I was hoping for four, so there you go," Gerbrand said. "My whole family came here to support me, so I was happy for that. I was all-state all but my junior year. I didn't do so hot my junior year. I came back with a vengeance. I wanted to do better than I had. It paid off."?Gerbrand finishes her prep career with 16 state medals. She will be a walk-on at Youngstown State in the fall, making her Newton's second NCAA Division I swimmer in recent years.?"They have a good exercise science-physical therapy program," Gerbrand said. "I'm really excited to go. I got a really great, full-ride academic scholarship there. I'm really excited to be a Penguin."?Newton's best finish came in the 400-yard freestyle relay. The team of Emily O'Meara, Emilie Holler, Hana Robinson and Gerbrand finished fourth in 3:59.16. Newton moved up several spots in the last two legs of the relay.?"Our team knew what we had to do," Gerbrand said. "We had to swim fast. State pumps you up. Hana had a great leg. She and I were both under a minute. That's how you do well in relays. You have to go fast."?Gerbrand took fifth in the 200-yard individual medley in 2:18.63. Erin Bergen finished 15th in 2:35.62.?Gerbrand took eighth in the 100-yard backstroke in 1:03.11. Holler was 13th in 1:06.84.?The team of Gerbrand, Robinson, Emily O'Meara and Emilie Holler finished seventh in the 200-yard medley relay in 2:01.82. Newton moved up a spot in the standings when the apparent winner, Blue Valley Southwest, was disqualified.?Robinson won the consolation finals of the 500-yard freestyle in 5:42.77, taking ninth overall. Holler was 12th in 5:46.66. Robinson was 12th in the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:16.80.?Jessi Stucky finished 16th in the 200-yard freestyle in 2:13.51.?Newton loses three state qualifying seniors in Gerbrand, Robinson and Bergen. The rest of the state team consists of a junior, a sophomore and six freshmen.?"We were a very young team this year," Schmidt said."The girls did a really good job all season long, keeping the work ethic going. I'm looking forward to the years to come. We just have to make sure they are pushing themselves just a little bit harder. That's easy with sports like basketball, where everybody practices together. Here, the kids have to self-motivate."?Schmidt expects another strong freshman class next year.?"We'll have at least one coming up who is really good," Schmidt said. "Then we have a number of girls who will deepen the ranks. That's what we were good at now. I think we'll have another strong team."

Do you enjoy exercising? If so there may be a really good chance that you weight lift quite often. This is a great way for anyone to keep in shape and stay that way, but do you suffer from an acne scar as a result of all your hard work? This can happen to most anyone that invests time in lifting weights.
It is frustrating when you work so hard to do something good for yourself and then it causes other problems in the process. So, what can you do about an acne scar? One of the best things to help eliminate this problem is to try and keep the weights from having direct contact with your skin. If they do, this can lead to scarring as well.
There are many reasons one may suffer from acne scars as a result of doing this exercise. In addition to this, the fact that you may perspire a lot when you are weightlifting can have something to do with this problem. Many people neglect to remember this and it can result in additional problems with acne. This can really be a nuisance for most people.
So, you may want to consider wearing the appropriate clothing when exercising because this can allow your skin not to suffer from scarring and allow you to have the clear skin you deserve. Many people just aren't aware how certain types of clothing can easily prohibit an acne scar from occurring when you weight lift. It is very important to make certain you do all you can to protect your skin and try to keep it looking its best. It may not be as easy as most of us would hope, but protecting your skin can really allow you to feel better about it.

PORT CHESTER, N.Y. – An unreleased recording of a 1971 Grateful Dead concert will be presented with full light show Saturday night at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester.
The legendary band played the historic theater 18 times in 1970 and 1971 and was well-known as one of front man Jerry Garcia's favorite venues. The unreleased concert was from the band's final show at the Capitol on Feb. 24, 1971.
The show was mixed from the original 16-track analog master tapes recorded at the Capitol for the "Skull & Roses" album, though none of the songs were included in the album's pressing.
"It's no secret that the Grateful Dead loved playing at the Capitol Theatre," said the band's archivist David Lemieux, in a release. The concert features "Bertha," "Loser," "Greatest Story Ever Told," "Playing In The Band," "Deal," and "Bird Song." In addition, versions of "Good Lovin'," and "Lovelight," clock in at nearly 20 minutes each.
Following the concert Saturday, the theater will play a "Greatest Unreleased Mixtape" assembled by Lemieux, of the vault's master tapes and a recently discovered batch of tapes from 1969-70.
Admission to "A Dose Of The Dead: 2/24/71," is $8 in advance and $10 on the day of the show. The event is for those 18 and over. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. To purchase tickets, visit The Capitol Theatre website .

Red Sox put Victorino on DL, activate Nava, Workman
By The Sports Xchange
The Boston Red Sox placed right fielder Shane Victorino on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a strained right hamstring.
It is the second time this season that Victorino has gone on the DL for the same injury.
To fill Victorino's spot on the 25-man roster, the club recalled outfielder Daniel Nava from Triple-A Pawtucket. Nava was joined by pitcher Brandon Workman, who is expected to be activated for Sunday's start in place of left-hander Felix Doubront, who also is on the DL with a strained left shoulder.
The Red Sox were also without designated hitter David Ortiz and first baseman Mike Napoli for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Ortiz has a calf injury and Napoli is still dealing with flu-like symptoms, as well as hamstring, calf and finger pain.
Ortiz was planning to take Saturday off to rest but Napoli may miss a few more games. He was also out Wednesday and Thursday.
Victorino initially injured the hamstring during spring training and aggravated it while running to first base during Friday's loss.
Victorino is batting .242 with one home run and 10 RBIs in 21 games this season.
Nava started the season with Boston but was sent to the minors after batting just .149 with two home runs and three RBIs in 17 games. He had a breakout season last year when he batted .303 with 12 home runs and 66 RBIs in 134 games.

Blake again is king of the hill on Mount WashingtonSpecial to the Union Leader
June 15. 2013 10:20PM
New England's strongest mountain runner, Eric Blake of New Britain, Conn., faced his best counterparts from the Rocky Mountains and the West Coast Saturday and beat them to reclaim the champion's title in the Northeast Delta Dental Mount Washington Road Race.
Blake, who won this 7.6-mile all-uphill race in 2006 and 2008, came back this year from four years of near misses to run up the Mount Washington Auto Road in his fastest time ever, 59 minutes 57 seconds.
Meanwhile on the women's side of the race, veteran mountain runner Laura Haefeli of Del Norte, Colo., finally won the internationally renowned event where she had repeatedly been a popular bridesmaid. Having finished third three times and among the top six women two other times in this climb to the 6,288-foot summit of the highest peak in the northeastern United States, Haefeli, now 45 years old, took an early lead and held it, taking advantage of an occasional tailwind and finishing in 1:18:05, more than five minutes ahead of her nearest competition.
Blake's win was emphatic and gratifying. The 34-year-old coach at Central Connecticut State lined up at the start with the two men who had beaten him last year and seemed in comparably good shape this time, Joseph Gray, 29, of Renton, Washington, and Sage Canaday, 27, from Boulder, Colorado. A year ago Canaday had run away from the field to become just the sixth man ever to break one hour on Mt. Washington, while Gray was a solid second, but this time the field was reversed.
Gray, a former all-American steeplechaser with track speed to go with his mountain endurance, seized the lead at the start, opened a gap on everyone else and held it for three miles while Blake and Canaday chased him. Then Blake surged while Canaday faded."Maybe Joe was going to run away with it, or maybe he was going to come back to us," said Blake afterward. "When I caught up with Joe, I just concentrated on maintaining momentum. I had seen enough second-place frustration, and I didn't want to be second again."After his two previous victories, Blake had been runner-up twice here, then eighth in 2011, when he was suffering from a not-yet-diagnosed torn hamstring muscle that required surgery. Having regained enough form to place third last year, he looked even stronger today.
Half a mile from the finish he was pumping his fist with the confidence of someone who knows he will win. Better yet, he realized he had a shot at the one-hour mark that had always eluded him before.
"I had thought I'd finish in 61 minutes," he said, "but I was going as quickly as I could." Quickly enough so that, on top of the winner's purse of $1,000, his finishing time earned him the $500 bonus the race awards to anyone who breaks one hour without breaking the course record. The men's course record for the Northeast Delta Dental Mt. Washington Road Race is 56:42, set in 2004 by six-time world mountain champion Jonathan Wyatt of New Zealand.
Haefeli, who five years ago broke the Mt. Washington masters (over 40) record previously held by Olympian Joan Samuelson, again collected the $300 award for the first female finisher over 40, to go along with her overall winner's $1000. The men's masters prize went once again to Simon Gutierrez, 47, of Colorado Springs. Gutierrez, who won this race three times between 2002 and 2005 and holds the master's course record, placed fourth overall in 1:04:44, outkicking 38-year-old Matt Byrne of Scranton, Pennsylvania by one second.
The next woman behind Haefeli was a smiling Brandy Erholtz, of Evergreen, Colo. Erholtz, 35, had won her Mt. Washington debut here in 2008, repeated as champion in 2009, and then been third in 2010 and runner-up for the past two years. For her, however, this year's runner-up performance was especially delightful. She is four months' pregnant - a fact about which she has happily posted a narrative on her training blog.
Undeniably slower this year, Erholtz was still tough. Starting conservatively, she passed Regina Loicano of Gloucester, Mass., and Tin-Marie Poulin of New York City in the first mile, then withstood a determined challenge by Loicano for several miles before finishing in 1:23:48, with Loicano third in 1:24:45 and Poulin another half minute back. Abby Mahoney, 35, of Holyoke, Mass., was fifth in 1:25:49.
Justin Freeman, 36, of New Hampton, N.H., an Olympic Nordic skier and local favorite, placed eighth overall in 1:06:52 to win the Crossan Cup, which is awarded annually to the top finisher from New Hampshire. The women's Crossan Cup winner was Larisa Dannis of Manchester, who placed seventh among all women in 1:26:59.

Helping Urban Animals
Finding an injured animal can be an alarming experience, especially when children are present. Occasionally, however, our desire to help animals can put them in even more compromising positions. So remember, before you touch or move an animal have a game plan for how to best meet its needs. This guide will provide information for the following situations:
- Birds that have flown into or through windows
- Bats in your home
- Finding baby animals
- How to temporarily house or move an animal
- Who to contact for animals that need rehab
Birds and Windows
Birds flying into windows
Accidents with windows are a common bird emergency. If the bird is upright, but clearly stunned and does not appear to be able to fly away, use a soft cloth to gently pick the bird up and place it in a paper bag. Close the top of the paper bag loosely, allowing a little light to flow in. The idea is you want to provide the bird protection from eyeing predators, but what it to see a clear exit once it's ready to fly away. Place the bag in a safe place, under a bush for example, and refrain from checking on it for two hours. After this much time if it has not yet flown away, it's time to call a rehab center.
Birds flying through windows
Another common problem is when birds fly through open windows. In this case, turn off the lights and open all your windows, the natural sunlight will help guide the bird outside. If you have some birdseed (or for hummingbirds their feeder), place it on or near a window seal to help lure it outside. As always, remain calm, and take care not to try and heard the bird outside, this will likely cause the bird to fly in any number of confused directions!
Birds attacking windows
In the springtime birds are busy preparing for young and many bird species become aggressively territorial. Because most species of birds cannot distinguish themselves from their own refection, you may notice birds attacking windows or other reflective surfaces. Although it's unusual for a bird to be so aggressive it injures itself, if the activity is troubling the best solution is to prevent the reflection. Put a cloth or piece of paper on the outside of the window, or use grimy soap to create streaks across the surface.
Bats in Your Home
Bats play a critical part in our ecosystems, and sadly, their populations are in decline due to habitat loss and the deadly White-nose Fungus. Finding one in your home may seem scarier than finding a bird, but less than 1/10 of 1% of bats carry rabies and infected bats are rarely aggressive and usually die quickly. If it's necessary to handle a bat, use a thick glove and grab it by the scruff of the neck to prevent bites. Place it on a tree branch and check back the next day, if it's still there it's likely sick, so keep a safe distance and let nature take its course. Most of the time, however, a bat in your home should be handled the same way as a bird, open the doors and windows and wait quietly for the bat to find it's way out. If the bat you've found is sick or injured, cover it with a container and call Fish and Wildlife.
If you've discovered bats roosting in some part of your home remember, they have probably been living there peacefully for a while-this is not an emergency. Rabies can only be spread via salvia-blood interactions so breathing near bats, or touching their fur will not transmit the disease in the unlikely event one is infected. If it's summer, the bats will likely have young, so if you're willing, wait until fall to seal off access otherwise you may trap young inside, while preventing their mothers from coming in.
Finding Babies
In the spring, there are many baby animals born. You must be sure the baby you found is injured or orphaned. Wildlife rehab hotlines can guide you in this determination. There are many situations in which they can help you reunite a baby with its mother. We cannot stress enough that most babies are still in the care of their parents even if they appear to be alone and away from a home/nest.
If you have found an animal the best first action is to call a wildlife rescue hotline. Refrain from searching for tips online and NEVER feed an animal before you have talked with an expert. Many babies have special diets and can become very sick if fed the wrong food.
Determine if the baby mammal or bird you've found is in need of help:
Caring Temporarily for an Animal
If you have an injured or orphaned animal in your possession and you cannot find an open rehabilitation center, please follow these instructions until the animal can be transported to one.
- Put the animal in a pet carrier or cardboard box with a lid and air holes. Provide a soft blanket or old sweatshirt to provide a place hide in or something to grasp if it's a bird. Please do not use a towel as claws can get tangled easily.
- If you have a baby bird or mammal, the baby cannot absorb the heat in the air around it. If you have a heating pad, put on low in the carrier over ½ the bottom. Or you can heat water in a soda bottle, screw the lid on tight, wrap in a towel and put in the carrier and snuggle the baby up next to it.
- Place in a dark room with no noise.
- When transporting please do not talk loud or have the radio on
- Please give no food or water
Resources to Contact
Some wildlife rehabilitators have constraints on the kinds of animals they can accept. Generally speaking, most rehabbers cannot help adult deer, raccoons or possums. On the other hand, baby animals and birds (including adult owls and raptors)are welcome at most rehabilitation centers.
The following list will help you determine who to contact:
Turtle Ridge Wildlife Center: (503) 540-8664
- Hours: April 1st-October 31st 8am-8pm all week
- November 1st-March 31st 8am-6pm all week
- A note from TRWC: Turtle Ridge cannot take injured or sick adult deer, squirrels raccoons or possums. These animals can be very dangerous and should be left alone. If an animal is posing a threat to people (it's near a school, trapped in your home, etc) or has been fatally wounded you can call Turtle Ridge who will contact Fish and Wildlife services.
Salem Wildlife Rehabilitation Association: (503) 856 8242
- Hours: April 1st-October 31st 8am-8pm all week
- November 1st-March 31st 8am-6pm all week
- A note from SWRA : Although they cannot take adult raccoons, possums or deer, they do accept adult squirrels. There are many seasons when they leave their call number on 24/7 for late night emergencies so it's worth giving them a call even after hours.
Department of Fish and Wildlife: (for injured, sick large and/or dangerous wildlife): (541) 757-4186
Salem Friends of Felines: (a no-kill shelter strictly for cats): (503) 362-5611

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tara1 from F A B O L O U S This looks much better on than the picture shown. I purchased this in green and I cant wait to wear it. It's a little snug to my thighs, but it doesn't look as if it's tight. I'm pairing it with cute black and gold heels and a belt.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EJ2013 from I LOVE this jumpsuit, get it fast!!! I tried it on by recommendation of my stylist, Lauren. I wasn't sure about it but tried it on anyways.....paired with a belt it is SEXY! The back is open and sheik. I got it in black, great material for spring/summer......I am 5'2 and it fits well for my height. It can be dressed up or down,that is what I love about it. It is a staple for your spring/summer wardrobe, get it in green if you can as well, I know I will!

Rated 5 out of 5 by TRB20 from Loved it I ordered this jumpsuit in Army Green, and loved it. I'm only 5'2 and with a pair of heels it's the first jumpsuit that actually fit me perfectly! I usually wear a 4, so I got a small and it was a great fit! I was going to order the black one until I saw it in person and it's not a very dark black, but looks more like a faded black, which I didn't like. I got a lot of compliments on the green one though...highly recommend it! I added a gold belt to complete the look.

Rated 4 out of 5 by NikkieGiovanni from A little snug on the thighs I love the feel of this jumpsuit and raced down to my store to try it on. Initially I was worried that it would not fit my top because I am a double D cup but the top was fine. The bottom part was very snug on my thighs. I have athletic thighs so I had to go a size up. If you are curvy with a nice set of legs on you, I suggest that you go up a size
Date published: 2013-04-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by SimpleBeauty from Fabulous! I didn't want to order this online because I know lyocell is a fabric that does not stretch... at all. So I went into my local bebe store to try my normal size small, I'm 135lbs 34-27-42, with thick thighs and big hips. I loveee the green, how light it was and the open back, looks even better in person. Everywhere fit perfectly except for around my thighs, it was just too tight :(. But I was determined to get it so I tried the medium but it didn't fit well, it was too frumpy on top. The zipper is heavy duty and a bit heavy so it made the top area hang awkwardly, and the back didn't fit properly, there was a gap on top that made it unflattering... however, it fit my thighs and hips perfectly (go figure). If only I could get the medium fit for that area and the small fit everywhere else. :-\ So ladies if you have a similar body frame as I do (curvy/thick bottom half) it probably won't fit so well. Hopefully bebe can make this same style in a fabric that has a little stretch to it. I still recommend this to anyone with a frame like the model in the pic though, it's too cute to pass up.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Karen from False advertisement It looks absolutely nothing like what the model has on who is advertising the jumper on the main page. Fits like a prison jumpsuit. It will be returned.

Danielle Staub, star of the Real Housewives of New Jersey released her new memoir this week and in it is a lot of new details about her now infamous past life.
In the memoir titled "The Naked Truth," Danielle, 47, makes abuse claims against her ex-husband Kevin Maher. "I was severely abused," said Danielle to UsWeekly of Kevin, whom she married in 1988 and split up with a year and a half later. "He was very possessive…I was hospitalized several times."
"The abuse started as soon as we were married," continued Danielle. "He was very possessive…I was hospitalized several times. There is no way to describe how it feels to not have a safe place to go."
And in case you're wondering, Kevin is the same guy who wrote the Cop Without a Badge book, which detailed Danielle's past involvement in kidnapping, drug use and prostitution. Kevin is now denying Danielle's claims of abuse and even filed a $5 million defamation suit against her last October, with her deposition scheduled for July.
In his court filing, Kevin claims that Danielle has said "that I raped her on a bed of broken glass, inserted a handgun in her vagina and played Russian roulette….[that] I killed her dog…The list just goes on and on…The woman is insane."
Kevin also claims he passed a lie-detector test on March 22 with "an accredited polygraph examiner" from the LAPD. And as for Danielle's story about being hospitalized by him? Well Kevin states, "This woman was never hospitalized by me." He adds, "if you were to seek treatment after being beaten, which is a felony, that hospital would have to call the local police. There are no hospital records of me putting her in a hospital like she claims."
Kevin however admits to hitting Danielle once, but claims it was "in self defense, pulling her off me…I never beat her. I did hit her — it's true. Not something I'm proud to admit."
As for why Danielle would make false accusations about him, Kevin has his own theory. "She is without conscience," says Kevin. "She's calculating. I believe that Danielle Staub sold her soul to Satan for fame. Her children are suffering from it…her past is going to catch up to her very soon."
Back to Danielle's book. Below are some revelations she makes in the book –
1) Danielle reveals she found out she was adopted at age 5, and was abused as a kid by both a relative and a family friend.
2) She denies being a prostitute, but admits to being an escort/Miami call girl. She claims she only slept with two of her johns dates.
3) She also reveals in her book that she gave birth to a son named William in the late 80s, but he later died of SIDS at just 11 weeks.
4) Another interesting tidbit is that she met her ex-husband, Tom Staub, while working at a strip club.
On the top right is Kevin Maher, who met up with Teresa & Jacqueline months ago to take a lie detector test about Danielle.

According to Yaron Galai, blogging is where information on the Net is going. If newspapers and other news outlets were once the guardians of what made news, today bloggers are increasingly setting the pace.
That's why Israeli-American start-up Outbrain was set up. The two-year-old company, which has R&D offices in Netanya, and is headquartered in New York, has developed a simple widget rating system for blog entries, to try to encourage good bloggers to keep on reporting. "It's important to reward the bloggers who do a good job," Galai, co-founder and CEO of Outbrain, tells ISRAEL21c. "Plus, users get good leads on blogs and posts that they might be interested in too."
Until Outbrain, the only indication bloggers had that people were reading their posts was in the comments left behind by visitors to their pages. Bloggers with their own domain and website, could rely on the statistics provided by Google or Alexa on page popularity, or on their own site's visitor statistics. But bloggers posting articles on a site like blogger.com, only have comments to rely on – and not many readers can be bothered to take the time to write.
Outbrain's system makes it easy for readers to rate blogs, indicating their satisfaction with the ideas or presentation they've just read. Bloggers in the Outbrain network post a widget (five yellow stars) on each post they want readers to rate. Readers click on the appropriate star to rate how much they liked the content (five for "excellent," four for "good," one for "bad," etc.), and the rating is immediately averaged into the overall score.
So, if 10 people read a post and clicked on four or five stars, the post would get a top rating – meaning that prospective readers will probably find that the information isn't a waste of their time. For the blogger himself, it gives a chance to find out what the readers are interested in, so he can focus on similar subjects in future.
Outbrain also makes recommendations to readers of other posts on other sites that they might find useful as well – so readers get exposed to new blogs they didn't know about before, saving them surfing time and getting them to the information they're interested in fast.
Each Outbrain rating made by a blog post reader generates an anonymous cookie (Outbrain does not track user behavior outside the ratings, and there is no registration required to rate posts), which the Outbrain database collects and collates, giving back recommendations to readers on related issues or topics.
"It's sort of what you find at sites like Amazon or Netflix, which allow you to rate products and movies, and tell you what other people who were interested in the same item were looking at, or interested in," Galai explains.
Outbrain aims to do for blogging, what the Amazon rating and recommendation system does for customers – save them time and money by helping them focus their search. Readers just hover their mouse over the appropriate rating star to express their opinion – and the related URLs are automatically generated for them. This enables users to far more easily spread the news about posts and blogs, than they would be able to by just commenting on sites or sending out e-mail messages to friends.
Privately held Outbrain, which currently employs about a dozen people, is so convinced that blogging is the way forward, that is has no plans to develop similar services for traditional news sites, despite the fact that blogs are currently a lot less profitable than news sites.
Investors are convinced too; in February, the company announced the closing a $5 million A-round investment led by Gemini Israel Funds, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Glen Rock Israel.
Outbrain widgets are on hundreds of site already, and Galai, who is already a veteran of Web 2.0 (he was co-founder of online ad network Quigo, now owned by AOL), and co-founder Ori Lahav – former head of R&D at shopping.com, are dedicated to helping build blogger traffic – by helping blog readers spread the word about interesting posts they've seen. It's a blogger's world, and Outbrain plans to give it its due.
In fact, the Outbrain site's press ("buzz") page has not one link to articles on news sites about the company – only to articles or posts written by bloggers. "It's true that bloggers aren't making a lot of money right now," Galai says. "But they're the ones generating the most interesting and important information nowadays," and Outbrain intends to get in on the ground floor, he says.
The days of the "news gatekeeper" are gone – and Outbrain can help blog readers get out the news they believe really counts.

Does this show under you title in Google Results? "This site may harm your computer." If so get a Google Webmaster Tools account and identified the pages containing the malware the hacker left behind on your web. After you have removed it goto the http://www.stopbadware.org/home/faq#partnerwarnings-remove site and let them know.
I have hear that that as Google clamps down tighter on typical and easier webspamming it drives spammers to engage in more nefarious behaviors to get links, that leads to hacking.

Welcome to the Judicial Clerkship Forum. This forum is for current law students and graduates to discuss judicial clerkship-related issues. Please observe the following rules while posting here:
0Ls, read this first:
If you're a 0L wanting advice from current law students and graduates, we've set up a new forum just for you, which you can find here: viewforum.php?f=4
It's called "Ask a Law Student / Graduate", and it's a place for 0Ls to ask current law students questions without disturbing the "Students and Graduates" forums. Post all your questions there, including about things like classes, grades, transferring, employment, etc. Please do not continue posting your questions here in the Students and Graduates forums, as doing so might get you banned and/or your thread locked.
If you are a 0L, then use caution before posting, if you argue or post blatantly inaccurate information you may be banned for trolling.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regulation of the Anonymous Post Feature:
The anonymous post feature is meant for serious, judicial clerkship-related questions that could reveal something about the poster to future employers. This can include information about grades, where a person has interviewed/received job offers, and other information that might identify them to future employers. The anonymous feature is not meant to be used as a shield for voicing unpopular opinions, demeaning others, sock puppetry, or otherwise being a jerk.
If you see a comment that you believe is misuse or abuse of the anon feature, please report it using the Report button on the lower-right corner of each post. This button, which appears as a red exclamation point, allows you to flag a post for moderator investigation.
Moderators may announce when they have taken action against a poster, but this is only for transparency, not to invite debate about the anon policy. Do NOT post in the thread itself about whether or not something violates the anon abuse policy; this is considered thread derailment and may get you banned as well. There are other places you can do this, such as PM or an appropriate Lounge thread such as this one: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=146657
Failure to follow any of these rules may result in being outed (even if your post contains sensitive information), and/or banned. The anon feature exists to foster on-topic discussion in this forum, not for repeated debate over the anon feature and the scope of its use. Please keep this in mind.
"Killself" and other unconstructive replies:
Unconstructive, asinine replies such as "killself," even if meant in jest, are low-content, forum-clogging crap and will get you banned. People who struck out at OCI are in a tight spot, and if they're posting here for assistance, that's what they should get. At the very least, ridicule and the like belongs in the Lounge (see generally, BP).
The moderators are not asking you to blow sunshine up anyone's backside, but if your posting doesn't add something to the discussion, expect to be banned, the length of which ban will be entirely dependent on the opinion of the banning moderator. If you have to ask whether your comment adds something constructive to the thread, then it doesn't.
On the other hand, if someone is posting "killself" or similar nonsense, do not clog up still more space backseat moderating. Use the Report button and let a moderator handle it. Continued debate about such policies will be treated as thread derailment.
Rules for the Judicial Clerkship Forum. Read before posting.
Seek and share information about clerkship applications, clerkship hiring timelines, and post-clerkship employment opportunities.
Forum rules
Anonymous Posting

The Case for National Standards
Rebuilding our economy for the long haul -- not just to meet today's needs -- requires investing in education. President Obama rightly has called for immediate investments to build the classrooms, laboratories and libraries our children require to meet 21st-century challenges and to increase funding for crucial educational programs. But to address the challenges and seize the opportunities of this new century, we must do even more.
From my office in Washington, I can see beyond the Capitol to Virginia. I can ride a few stops on the Metro and be in Maryland. These three jurisdictions are so close in miles yet have very different standards for what their students should know and be able to do -- just as every state in the union has its own standards. The result is 51 benchmarks of varying content and quality.
There are many areas in education around which we need to build consensus. A good place to start would be revisiting the issue of national standards. Abundant evidence suggests that common, rigorous standards lead to more students reaching higher levels of achievement.
The countries that consistently outperform the United States on international assessments all have national standards, with core curriculum, assessments and time for professional development for teachers based on those standards. Here in the United States, students in Massachusetts, which has been recognized for setting high standards, scored on a par with the highest-performing countries in both math and science on a recent international assessment. After Minnesota adopted rigorous math standards, students there ranked fifth in the world on the mathematics portion of that assessment. Academic standards for students in the rest of the country, unfortunately, are a mixed bag.
Imagine the outrage if, say, the Pittsburgh Steelers had to move the ball the full 10 yards for a first down during the Super Bowl while the Arizona Cardinals had to go only seven. Imagine if this scenario were sanctioned by the National Football League. Such a system would be unfair and preposterous.
But there is little outrage over the uneven patchwork of academic standards for students in our 50 states and the District of Columbia. And the federal government has tacitly accepted this situation by giving a seal of approval to states that meet the benchmarks for improved achievement established by the federal No Child Left Behind Act -- even if their standards are lower than those of other states (which might not fare as well when measured by NCLB's yardstick).
Should fate, as determined by a student's Zip code, dictate how much algebra he or she is taught? Such a system isn't practical: Modern American society is highly mobile. And it's just not right -- every child attending U.S. public schools should be taught to high standards, regardless of where he or she lives.
I am not talking about federal standards for every subject taught in American public schools, nor am I proposing that state and local education authorities lose all say on curriculum. I certainly am not suggesting that teachers be forced to provide instruction in a scripted, lock-step manner, unable to tailor lessons or draw on their own expertise. Just as different pianists can look at the same music and bring to it unique interpretations and flourishes, various teachers working from a common standard should be able to do the same.
Education is a local issue, but there is a body of knowledge about what children should know and be able to do that should guide decisions about curriculum and testing. I propose that a broad-based group -- made up of educators, elected officials, community leaders, and experts in pedagogy and particular content -- come together to take the best academic standards and make them available as a national model. Teachers then would need the professional development, and the teaching and learning conditions, to make the standards more than mere words.
I'm not so naive as to think that it would be easy to reach consensus on national standards, but I believe that most people would agree that there is academic content that all students in America's public schools should be taught, and be taught to high standards. And I would expect near-consensus on the fact that, today, we are failing in that important mission. A national agreement about certain aspects of what every well-educated child in every American public school should learn won't be easy to arrive at, but that is no reason to give up before we even try.
High standards improve teaching and learning. If we really believe that all children can and should reach high levels of achievement, it only makes sense to define those benchmarks. The time has come for a serious consideration of national academic standards.
The writer is president of the American Federation of Teachers.

So today is Day #3 of my new drive to take charge of my health and weight. I started out on Monday with all the vim and vigour of the newly converted, hitting the gym and the juicer with equal enthusiasm, and vowing to myself that this was the start of something...erm...big.
But then came 6pm and it was time to cook dinner. :( As mentioned, My Beloved is trim and utterly without a peck of extra flesh so needs to lose no weight whatsoever. This means I have to be careful about dinners - the only meal we share during the week - as it can't be 'just' a salad. So I started preparing some vegan stuffed mushrooms (portabellos), tabbouleh and green leafy salad with a raw peppery-avocado dressing. Normally I would have baked a loaf of fresh, crusty, deliciously-warm-in-the-center bread to go with this, and perhaps a dessert for afterwards too. But this time I refrained. Keeping myself from devouring the stuffing - onions, garlic, spinach, breadcrumbs, thyme, pepper and Daiya cheese - by the handful was the tricky part as my mind screamed at me that I had been great all day dammit and I deserved some actual food!
Actually, it is the juice of 2 large carrots, 2 oranges and 1 small grapefruit. And, yet again, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. :)

Massenzo named to All-Tournament Team
The Lady Bucs began the day dropping a 4-3 nine-inning heartbreaker to Colorado State, and ETSU wrapped up tournament play with a 9-0 setback to Mississippi State at Fresno State's Bulldog Diamond.
After playing their first 22 games away from Johnson City, the Lady Bucs stand 9-13 on the year.
Senior catcher Trisha Massenzo (Russellville, Tenn.) was named to the all-tournament team after hitting .500 (8-16) with two doubles, two home runs, three runs scored and seven RBI in five games at the Classic. The Russellville, Tenn. native also hit safely in each of the five games in Fresno.
ETSU vs. Colorado State Recap
For the third straight game, ETSU found itself in a one-run contest; however, for the second time in as many days, the Lady Bucs were on the wrong end as Colorado State defeated the Blue and Gold, 4-3, in nine innings.
Trisha Massenzo went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI; while junior newcomer Jessica Duncan (Ooltewah, Tenn.) was solid in relief despite being hit with the loss.
Colorado State (14-8) took full advantage of some ETSU pitching problems in the first inning, as for the second time on this west coast swing, senior Marissa Hardy (Rocklin, Calif.) couldn't make it out of the first inning. Hardy only retired one CSU hitter, walked three and issued a two-run scoring single to Allis Majam, and the Rams jumped out to a 2-0 lead. Hardy's day was done after the single and Duncan entered in the circle. Duncan did a solid job keeping Colorado State from extending its lead as she retired the next two Ram hitters and left a pair of runners stranded on first and second.
The Lady Bucs cut the lead in half in the bottom half of the first as ETSU's small-ball tactics paid off. After Cheniece Cason (Moreno Valley, Calif.) worked a leadoff walk, she stole second and advanced to third on Katy Jett's (Talbott, Tenn.) sac-fly to center. Then, with two outs and Cason on third, Massenzo continued to produce, as her double to left-center scored Cason - making it a 2-1 contest.
ETSU threatened in the third, but after putting the tying run on third and the go-ahead run at second, Colorado State made a pitching change to keep momentum on its side. Cason began the charge by working her second walk of the afternoon - and after Lucy Schneider (Dade City, Fla.) doubled - Kelsey Jo O'Brien saw her afternoon come to a halt in the circle. However, Rebecca Penland entered in relief to retire Jett and Massenzo, keeping the Rams' lead intact, 2-1.
For the second straight inning, the Lady Bucs missed out on a scoring opportunity as ETSU had runners on second and third with two outs, but Amy Campbell (Chattanooga, Tenn.) hit into an inning-ending grounder back to the pitcher.
After flirting with tying the game in the previous two innings, Massenzo's hot bat continued to come through for the Blue and Gold. With two outs and Cason standing out second, Massenzo singled to center and tied the game at two.
Meanwhile, with Duncan keeping the Rams scoreless for the next 7.2 innings, the Lady Bucs were prime to win it in the bottom of the eighth after flashing some leather in the top half of the inning. With one out and a CSU runner on third, Majam flied out to Schneider in left. The freshman standout fired a bullet home to get Ivory Allen out at the plate - keeping the game tied at two. In the Lady Buccaneer eighth, Jett was standing on third with one out; however, Arielle Garner (Buchanan, Ga.) struck out and Delisa ended the inning with a pop out to right.
Colorado State finally broke its scoreless drought by plating two runs in the top of the ninth, and after the Lady Bucs scored one run in the bottom of the frame on an error, Kelli Eubanks left a pair of ETSU runners standing on first and second when she got Schneider out looking to end the game.
Despite allowing only one earned run (two runs) in 8.2 innings, Duncan suffered the loss and saw her record dip to 5-3. Eubanks earned the win and improved to 10-5 after issuing one unearned run on four hits in four innings of relief.
ETSU vs. Mississippi State Recap
Mississippi State scored four runs in the second and tacked on three more in the fourth, as the Bulldogs cruised past the Lady Bucs, 9-0.
ETSU committed four errors in the game - all coming in the second inning - and the Lady Bucs also left five runners on base.
After earning her first collegiate win on Friday, sophomore Shelby Morris (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) was tagged with the loss (1-3), allowing nine runs (five earned) on 10 hits in five innings of work. Morris also struck out six and walked two.
Morris looked to be cruising after retiring five of the first six hitters she faced to start the game; however, the flood gates opened when Cheniece Cason was charged with an error at short with two outs in the second. From there, the Bulldogs score four unearned runs, as the Lady Bucs were charged with three more errors in the frame and Mississippi State led, 4-0.
Mississippi State (16-9) tacked on one more run in the third on Ali Bainbridge's two-out RBI double to right-center - and after plating three runs on four hits in the fourth - the Bulldogs went up 8-0.
The Lady Bucs had runners on in each of the first four innings; however, ETSU couldn't muster enough offense to push any runs across the dish. ETSU missed its best opportunity in the fourth when the Lady Bucs had runners on first and second and one out, but Kylie Vry struck out Marlina Delisa and forced Annie Martin (Centerville, Tenn.) to line out to short.
The Bulldogs scored one more run in the fifth to come away with the nine-run victory.
Vry earned her fifth win of the season (5-3) after tossing five innings of six-hit ball.
Cason extended her hitting streak to six straight games with her single in the first; while Trisha Massenzo has now hit safely in five straight after recording a single in the fourth.
The Lady Bucs finally return back to Johnson City for their home-opener on Tuesday, March 16 when ETSU hosts Liberty. First pitch of the double-header is slated for 2 p.m. from the ETSU Softball Complex.

Moultonborough sets tax rate, many will see lower bills
November 19. 2013 9:55PM
MOULTONBOROUGH — The new property tax rate has been set at $8.69 per thousand dollars of valuation.
According to an announcement from the town administrator's office, tax bills should be mailed to taxpayers by the end of this month, with payment due by Dec. 30.
The new rate is an increase of 1.51 percent, or 13 cents, from the current rate of $8.56 per thousand with the town's overall values dropping roughly 2 percent over the previous year. The resulting tax bills will result in roughly 52 percent of the taxpayers having an overall bill lower than last year while roughly 48 percent of the taxpayers will see an increase.
The Town's Tax Collector reminds taxpayers that to deduct real estate taxes from their 2013 federal income tax, the payment needs to be postmarked no later than Dec. 31. Payments by check placed into the drop box at the entry door to Town Hall on that day will also be eligible for the deduction.
At its Nov. 7 meeting, the Board of Selectmen applied roughly $540,000 of the town's fund balance to lower the overall impact of the increase. The new rate, with a minor variance for rounding, breaks down as $2.66 for the state education tax, which is up about 14 cents, $2.13 per thousand for local schools, which is down about 7 cents, $1.13 for the county tax, which is up about 2 cents, and $2.77 for the town tax. The town tax rate has gone up about 4 cents or about the same amount it had gone down the previous year.
"It is never well-received when the tax rate needs to go up, but I am pleased that the Board of Selectmen was able to keep the overall rate to a point where the majority of our taxpayers will see an actual decrease in their bill, " said Joel Mudgett, chairman of the selectmen.
The tax bill mailing will also include the semi-annual newsletter with stories on the recent addition to the noise ordinance and a recap of the successful first year of the community garden program.

Sudan reverses threat to stop South Sudan oil flow
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — After meeting with his southern counterpart, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir said Tuesday South Sudan's oil will continue to flow through his country's pipelines.
The announcement eases concerns after al-Bashir had ordered the pipelines closed earlier this year and accused South Sudan of supporting rebel movements in his country. The decision, though, had been delayed and was never implemented.
South Sudanese President Salva Kiir's visit to Sudan's capital city of Khartoum appeared aimed at reversing the order to close the pipelines, which would have choked South Sudan's ability to export its oil. Kiir was given a red carpet reception upon arrival to Khartoum for the one-day visit.
In comments carried by the official Sudan News Agency, al-Bashir said the two presidents agreed to "remove all obstacles" in relations and fully implement cooperation agreements, including the flow of South Sudan's oil for export through Sudanese pipelines.
In a joint statement after their meeting, the two presidents said discussions went well.
"The discussions were carried out in a positive environment with frankness and a strong political will, which enabled the two sides to reach understandings, paving the way for the implementation of all cooperation agreements signed by the two countries," the statement said.
South Sudan became independent of Sudan in 2011 after a lengthy civil war, and took with it much of Sudan's oil reserves.
The two sides are still in dispute over a number of issues, including rights to the oil-rich Abyei region, which they vowed to address through continuous dialogue according to the joint statement. Sudanese troops have been ambushed and killed there by rebels and the area remains volatile. A U.N. mission there helps mark the border and monitors a demilitarized zone.

The pews, altar and stained-glass windows are gone, but light still streams in through the expansive windows surrounding the former sanctuary of what was, until two years ago, St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic church in Mendon.
Susan P. Darnell, chairman of the board of trustees of Mendon's Taft Public Library, smiled as she gazed around the stripped yet inviting space.
In about a year and a half, after a $1.7 million renovation, children will gather for story time and delve into books where families once shared ceremonies of life's joys and sorrows. Adults will find books, computers and meeting space a floor below, and there will be room enough for the library's full collection and offices.
The town of Mendon bought St. Michael, 29 North Ave., and its attached rectory in January for $360,000. The church had been empty since the parish joined with the former Holy Angels church in Upton to create the new St. Gabriel the Archangel, in Upton, in 2011.
Adaptive reuse of churches has provided new spaces for restaurants, art venues, housing, businesses and libraries. It's not always easy politically, emotionally and financially to convert a church to new use. Recent projects in the region highlight efforts to preserve in their reuse some aspect of what were significant community spaces.
"In the building code, they're called 'places of congregation,' " Ms. Darnell said about churches and libraries. "And you're feeding the mind in both places."
Ms. Darnell said the current 2,000-square-foot Taft Library, also housed in a former church, has been inadequate for years. It's not handicapped accessible, part of the collection has to be stored in the nearby former fire station and there is no space for programs.
When word came that the 6,000-square-foot St. Michael would be closing, the library trustees were interested but didn't want to plunge ahead after the bruising defeat of a Mendon-Upton library construction proposal a decade ago.
"We tried to get a feel for the building and kind of took the political temperature. We got positive feedback," Ms. Darnell said. "This site is just so unique. It's near downtown and between two schools."
Ultimately, they obtained approval for two borrowing articles at town meeting and the ballot box, and recently started moving forward.
Ms. Darnell said the building's size, natural light, layout, parking and location were ideal for use as a library. And it was a cherished place.
"So many people in the community are attached to this building. They wanted to see it reused for a great community resource," she said.
The long-vacant First Baptist Church of Westboro, 36 West Main St., is providing another type of healing since Shriver Nursing Services/Family Lives moved in its offices three weeks ago.
The nonprofit agency, formerly on Friberg Parkway, provides case management services for children with complex medical needs.
CEO Carolyn V. Brennan said that although she first laughed at the idea of relocating to a church, when a real estate agent showed it to her, she immediately fell in love with the old building.
"It was so well-designed for what we were looking for," she said.
The church even had a "crying room" for babies, which Family Lives staff members can use if they need to keep an eye on a sick child of their own.
"I've always liked the feel of the place. It feels good to be in a church," Ms. Brennan said. "It's nice to know we're continuing good work."
There's an added benefit to relocating in a former church, she said: "It's easy to tell people how to find our building."
Members of the Unitarian Congregation of Mendon and Uxbridge are hoping that the new owner of the Uxbridge church, which shared services with the Mendon society, will continue the community spirit of the historic 1834 building.
Philip S. Wheelock Jr. of Uxbridge, a trustee of the First Congregational Society in Uxbridge, Unitarian, said the church was sold a month ago to local business owner Odisef Tsimogiannis for $125,000. His plans for the building, 21 N. Main St., are not known.
Mr. Wheelock, an architect whose family has belonged to the church since the 1700s, said, "Pretty much everyone in my family was brought up in that church. My wife and I were married there. And we love the sound of that fine Victorian organ."
Despite personal attachments and the church's prominent place in town history, it was time for the congregation to move on, he said.
In the late 1970s the Unitarian congregations of Mendon and Uxbridge, which had shared a minister for decades, started holding services together. The Uxbridge building was difficult to heat, so the congregation met there from spring until Thanksgiving and then turned to the Mendon church for the colder months.
With membership around 50 people and the expense of maintaining two churches, regular services shifted year-round to Mendon about five years ago.
Also, fire code changes after The Station nightclub fire in West Warwick, R.I., in 2003 restricted use of the Uxbridge church because it lacked a second exit and therefore couldn't hold more than 15 or so people at a time.
For a few years, Uxbridge High School rented the church for its alternative education program, but when the new school opened last fall, the lease ended.
Church representatives approached local officials about taking the building, but the town had no use for it, so it was put on the market.
Sarah M. Douglas of Uxbridge, a member of the Unitarian church for 12 years, said, "I don't feel sad that it was sold, because a congregation doesn't need two buildings. I'm a little concerned about what it will be used for, because we don't really know that."
Ms. Douglas recalled coffeehouses, meditation groups, fundraising initiatives and First Night festivities in the Uxbridge church. She had particularly warm memories of the Friday night community potluck suppers she spearheaded.
She recalled one Friday when the Red Sox were in the playoffs and many potluck regulars were die-hard fans. "Rather than forgo the potluck, we just set up the radio," she said. "There wasn't a peep. All you could hear was chewing and the radio."
The Rev. Ralph T. Clarke, minister for the Unitarian congregation, said: "We hate to part with a building that has memories for both our members and the community, but we didn't have the members and finances that were able to keep it up. We'd love to preserve our building and have it available for the community, but there just comes a time when it's not possible."
Mr. Wheelock said the building would be well-suited for an arts group or use by another congregation, with some updates.
"I had a lot of good memories in that church," he said, "but everything has a finite limit of time."

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian protesters firebombed one of the offices of satellite broadcaster Al-Jazeera on Wednesday and attacked a police chief who tried to negotiate an end to three days of violent protests in central Cairo.
The protesters hit the TV studio overlooking Tahrir Square with firebombs, engulfing it in flames. In a televised interview from inside the gutted office, reporter Ahmed el-Dassouki said around 300 protesters approached the building before noon, shouting obscenities.
He said they set the place on fire, stormed the building and looted the studio. "They accuse our network of being biased and not objective," he said. Many protesters had accused the channel of bias in favor of the country's most powerful political force, the Muslim Brotherhood.
After the attack, a crowd assaulted Cairo Police Chief Osama el-Saghir, who went to Tahrir Square to diffuse the situation, a security official said. Protesters drove El-Saghir from the square with punches and kicks, the official added, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to brief reporters.
Fire crews rushed to put out the office blaze as dozens of onlookers watched smoke and flames shoot from the balcony.
Interior Minister Ahmed Gamal Eddin said police had arrested 118 protesters since clashes broke out Monday.
"We have more than once restrained ourselves... and our forces have been wounded, but we will not stay with our hands tied or else people will hold us responsible," he said during a press conference in Cairo.
Scores of protesters have been wounded with birdshot and tear gas fired by police.
The Brotherhood's political party said in a statement on Facebook Wednesday that the protests were aimed at creating chaos as part of a wider scheme to derail the revolution. The language of the statement was similar to that of the transitional military council that administered Egypt after the ouster of longtime President Hosni Mubarak last year, when the military was in power and its forces were entangled in clashes with protesters.
The protesters Wednesday demand retribution for last year's deadly confrontation between police and demonstrators when security forces moved to break up a sit-in by people injured during last year's uprising. It set off days of violence that left 42 dead and hundreds wounded.
Monday was the anniversary of those clashes.
"The scenario repeats itself every time, but we are aware of this. People are calling on us to use force and occupy Tahrir Square," Gamal Eddin told reporters, "but we have policies that see the purpose behind this and what it would mean for us to go into Tahrir."
The Interior Minister admitted that his police forces have been unable to determine who was behind past protests, including last year's attacks on government buildings that protesters blamed on paid thugs.
"The problem is we reach a certain point and then the link in the chain breaks because these people are trained and have trainers who know how to hide," he said.
Last year's violence was before Mohammed Morsi of the Brotherhood was elected president, while the country was run by the military. Morsi took office in late June.
This week's protesters, mostly disgruntled youth, feel Morsi has done little to address their demand that security officers be held accountable for the killings of protesters.
Demonstrator Walid Farag said the president was too busy with foreign policy and had not delivered on his domestic promises.
"How come he (Morsi) doesn't come out and speak with the youth," Farag asked.
Some of the protesters called for an open sit-in starting Friday to also demand the dissolution of the Islamist-led body writing the country's new constitution. Liberals and seculars have denounced proposed changes in wording about the role of religion.
"We came here to demand the rights of our martyrs. The security forces wanted to award them with more martyrs," protester Samuel Sobhi said.

I have been reading a few sections on this forum about 'assembler' language.
Its always a bit hard for me to grasp but I am determined to learn it.
The latest problem I have come up with is when I use examples in DOS , it locks up.
I read that XP DOS (the simulated DOS), does not allow you to manipulate register bits.
Im guessing this is why it kind of 'locks' up.
I have tried both versions of DOS on the computer (the one that supports long names and the older one), with the same result.
I also realise that as a novice I could crash my system using real DOS.
I have MASM which has an protection for code errors built in.
Which I will use , but after using HTML text editiors the command line is fun.
Does anyone have any ideas and advice on if I could or should try to install a DOS program that allows this or just skip this type of thing in DOS and use MASM.

I seem to be working one lesson behind you at the moment, and my main problem is with ordering of words, according to the key. I sometimes switch 2 words around. Seems to be a common mistake when in the early stages of learning Latin.
On 62, page 26, IIRC it was explained somewhere earlier on...I think it mentioned the page # it was explained on in a note. Double check the text. It's so easy to miss something. I usually reread the lesson several times before attempting the exercises.
