Ok. So I have a friend. She's an old friend. A friend I've had since the third grade–and that's saying a lot. We have our time spans where we lose touch, but we always find our way back to each other.
I haven't talked to my old friend since the election. No particular reason. We just hadn't had the time.
I want EVERYONE–ANYONE–who doesn't understand politics, or doesn't CARE about politics, or who literally votes for someone based on looks, race, charisma, or their significant other, to: STEP. AWAY. FROM. THE. VOTING. BOOTH. And don't come back until you DO understand what these people stand for!
Now I know my old friend very well. I know her views. And I know for a FACT if she had only known WHAT this guy stands for, and what his viewpoints are on the world, she would have never voted for him. But what could anyone learn from him if we didn't look outside of the mainstream media? If you only knew him from what ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, or MSNBC was telling you, then I can see why everyone has been so "taken" with the guy. That's the way they "presented" him: a "real" guy. A family guy. A good guy. A strong man. The voice of the people.
54% of voters didn't care that he associated himself with domestic terrorists, nor did they care that he had no real experience in governing, while they POUNDED Sara Palin–a "Governor" of one of the largest states–claiming that she lacked experience! Obama's "community coordinating" was like me telling the world I had what it took to run the country because I was a meeting planner and event coordinator for six years in corporate America. But half of the country thought anyone who asked Obama the hard questions were racist hate mongers who only wanted to demoralize a moral guy.
"He seemed real to me…" About as real as a robot may come, I'd say. He was a product–a tool, a weapon–of the liberal machine. NOTHING about this guy is real, or genuine. Proof in point: he voted "present", rather than yes or no, on Live Birth Abortion! Gutless, I'd say. About as worthless and gutless as they come. And for the guy who says he's not "political", he played politics with a very crucial issue, such as live birth abortion. He didn't want to say one way or another, because he didn't want it to come back and haunt him during the campaign. And when a reporter brought the facts forth on the issue, Obama threatened any media outlet who would allow this guy to speak out against Obama and tell the truth.
Obama hid behind cowardice. He hid behind his lack of judgment and ethics. He hid in politics. I would have respected him more if he had just said, yes…or no. At least I'd know where the guy stood on the issues. But even now I don't have a clue. He's done nothing to govern. He's done nothing to show that he knows how to govern. He's been letting everyone else dictate to him how it will be, and they push him out the door to campaign for it. Because that's all he knows.
They called Bush a liar. But this guy has gone back on his word more times in the past month than Bush could have ever dreamed of doing in the eight years he was in office!
Find out what your elected officials are voting on. (You can! You have a RIGHT to know. Just go to this site and sign up: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/megavote/ and you will be informed of every yes or no vote by your congress person.) Find out what's going to be voted on (http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/legislative/g_three_sections_with_teasers/legislative_home.htm).
Stop listening ONLY to the mainstream media. Find other outlets like Fox News (a news station that truly IS fair and balanced, and will allow you to get both sides of the issues: http://www.foxnews.com/) and The Drudge Report (http://www.drudgereport.com/). Mainstream media outlets are run by extreme liberal corporations and donors. They will NEVER, EVER, give you a look at the real Democrats, and they will always slant their views to make Republicans look like the bad guys. They will never outright criticize a Democrat the way the do Republicans. You will never get the truth from a one-sided freak show.
Here's the point I'm trying to make: you don't balance your checkbook if you can't do math, right? You need to know something about adding and subtracting in order to keep your budget in order. To be a computer programmer, you don't go to a job interview and say, "I don't know anything about computers, but I can do this job!" You need to know a LOT about computers and how they operate.
Politics is no different. You can't vote if you don't understand what you're voting for or against. You can't make an educated choice if you don't care to learn what one person or another believes in or not. You can't blindly pull a lever that will ultimately change the world and affect everyone around you! You should never make a choice for the country, if you don't care how it will affect the country.
Step away from the voting booth. Come back when you know what you stand for and you are certain you are voting for a representative who will uphold those values and issues.
So this morning I woke up to a snow covered existence outside, stretched, yawned, grabbed my robe and took a nice warm shower. Afterwards, I plopped myself at the computer and began working. I started getting hungry, since my last meal was at 5 PM last night. I didn't want a big breakfast; I didn't even want a slice of toast like I usually do. Instead, I wanted a bowl of dry cereal to have with my glass of milk. So I got up, waddled to the kitchen and opened the cabinet door. Out of all the boxes of cereal we had, I chose the Jewel brand of "Crunchy Corn Squares", the generic version of Corn Chex. What I saw on the back of the box STUNNED me! I was utterly appalled!!
So I take the box out to the living room and scream, "Can you believe this?" to Jared and his mother. They both look at me, surprised by my outburst. And I read the box to them out loud. They look at me blankly. Jared's not surprised, nor is he outraged. Timi, Jared's mother, finally gets it after I explain what this box means.
The ideas on the box sound great, right? So why am I so outraged by this box? (First of all, let me first state, KUDOS to Jewel for putting something so brave and yet so ordinary on the back of their box.) I'm not upset with Jewel and the box, per say, what I'm angered about is the mere fact that ANYONE has to tell us–on a cereal box of all things–how to "be" a family! And who is the audience of the Back of the Box? It's our children. It's kids who don't KNOW what a family is. It's geared to teach CHILDREN what a family SHOULD be doing. But this is what we've become. Complacent. Lazy. Numb.
To me, all of these things listed on the Back of the Box were GIVENS! It just makes sense. And I wasn't concerned that someone else was telling me how to be a family, because I already knew these things. I had already done these very things with Josh when he was growing up, and we still do some of these things! I plan on doing ALL of these things with Tavin and Jared. In fact, I can't wait!!
Now Jared wasn't outraged for one reason: When we see what we see out in the world today, and we encounter children and families out in public, we can literally SEE that the family unit is broken! We can see the children vying for their parents attention and affection. It's everywhere. It's overwhelming. It's a shame! Granted we all see it, day in and day out, but the Back of the Box really confirmed my suspicions about what's happening in the world.
The Back of the Box is politely and attractively telling us to get off our lazy butts and pay attention to our children! And what about the poor child who reads the Back of the Box and desperately wants to do these things with a parent who is unwilling to take the time to do them? What really disturbs me is that the child who sees this list and thinks, "This would be so much fun," but has no idea what it truly means to be a family who does things together, or worse yet, realizes that even if he were to show the Back of the Box to his parents, it may not ever happen that way.
Why does the outside world have to explain the very basics of life to us? Why isn't it common sense anymore? Why are people having children in the first place, if they don't take the time to BE a family? The world is breaking down because the family is broken. There's no true sense of the word anymore.
I recently started volunteering at a food shelter called Angel Food Ministries (http://www.angelfoodministries.com/). It's a nationwide, non-profit organization offering wide varieties of monthly food menus to low income families at a very low cost…but it's also available to ANYONE! There are no limitations or requirements.
I got involved for one reason: to be an example to Tavin. To show him that in order to make a real difference in the world, you need to be the kind of person who is willing to do what it takes to actually make a difference. Talking about it isn't enough. Explaining to our children that it's important to help the needy, while walking away from a homeless person who is cold and hungry, isn't setting the right example. But by DOING it–by caring with our actions–we are teaching our children the real values, the real ethics, of humanity and compassion.
Angel Food Ministries isn't my only outlet. I've volunteered my name to become a board member for Angel Food Ministries and to further help the cause of the homeless. I'm also going to reorganize the Kenosha County Republican Women's Group, and although it's a political group, the example I will be setting for Tavin is to stand up for what he believes in, and take an active role to have his voice heard. He may not grow up to be a Republican, and that'll be just fine with me. As long as he's not just a Talker, but a real Doer, in what he believes as his core foundation…that's all that will truly matter to me.
Being a parent does take time. But that's something we should all realize before we even make the "choice" to BE a parent! No longer does your career/job take first place, nor does your spouse/significant other. That child is now your first and foremost priority in life! YOU need to be the example. YOU need to be the love–all the love in the world–that he/she needs. YOU need to be the person to teach them right and wrong, not the school system, not the church, and NOT the outside world, like the Back of the Box. It is up to YOU to BE the family your child so desperately needs to become a good person in this dark, cruel world–to help BE a light in the world. Show your children. Don't just talk about it. Be a family. Be a strong family unit that the world just can't touch!

Opened in 2009 by Justin and Lisa Walters, Jug's Main Street Tap has quickly become a mainstay in local dining and entertainment. Born from a rich tradition, both Justin and Lisa Walters have had family members who have owned and operated six different bars and restaurants in Elizabeth in the past 60 years. Coincidentally, Lisa Walters' family built the building where the Walters now find their calling; the same building in which Justin's grandfather started the legacy with Walters' Tavern in 1949.
A family operation, the Walters have put time, energy, and a fair amount of taste testing into the bar's preparation. They remodeled the old building into an updated establishment with highly crafted features including a handmade horseshoe bar, new wood floors, and also polished a few throwbacks in exposing the building's original brick wall and tin ceiling.

Q: Copy Folder on WinRT For now, I just know how to copy file using:
IStorageFolder dir = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;

IStorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(
    new Uri("ms-appx:///file.txt"));

await file.CopyAsync(dir, "file.txt");

When I try to copy folder and all the content inside, I cannot find the API like CopyAsync above.
Is it possible to copy folder and all the content in WinRT?

A: Code above didn't satisfy me (too specific), i made my own generic one so figured i could share it :
public static async Task CopyFolderAsync(StorageFolder source, StorageFolder destinationContainer, string desiredName = null)
    {
        StorageFolder destinationFolder = null;
            destinationFolder = await destinationContainer.CreateFolderAsync(
                desiredName ?? source.Name, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);

        foreach (var file in await source.GetFilesAsync())
        {
            await file.CopyAsync(destinationFolder, file.Name, NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
        }
        foreach (var folder in await source.GetFoldersAsync())
        {
            await CopyFolderAsync(folder, destinationFolder);
        }
    }

A: One possibility would be to use
StorageFolder.GetItemsAsync();

from Windows.Storage-namespace.
The result of the call is a
IReadOnlyList<IStorageItem>

containing all of the files and folders of the current folder.
You can then work on those.
See MSDN for a further reference.

A: Base on bash.d answer, I generate my own Copy Folder:
namespace Directories
{
    private string ROOT = "root";

    public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();

            CopyFolder(ROOT);
        }

        private async void CopyFolder(string path)
        {
            IStorageFolder destination = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
            IStorageFolder root = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;

            if (path.Equals(ROOT) && !await FolderExistAsync(ROOT))
                await destination.CreateFolderAsync(ROOT);

            destination = await destination.GetFolderAsync(path);
            root = await root.GetFolderAsync(path);

            IReadOnlyList<IStorageItem> items = await root.GetItemsAsync();
            foreach (IStorageItem item in items)
            {
                if (item.GetType() == typeof(StorageFile))
                {
                    IStorageFile presFile = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(
                        new Uri("ms-appx:///" + path.Replace("\\", "/") + "/" + item.Name));

                    // Do copy file to destination folder
                    await presFile.CopyAsync(destination);
                }
                else
                {
                    // If folder doesn't exist, than create new one on destination folder
                    if (!await FolderExistAsync(path + "\\" + item.Name))
                        await destination.CreateFolderAsync(item.Name);

                    // Do recursive copy for every items inside
                    CopyFolder(path + "\\" + item.Name);
                }
            }
        }

        private async Task<bool> FolderExistAsync(string foldername)
        {
            IStorageFolder destination = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;

            try
            {
                await destination.GetFolderAsync(foldername);
                return true;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
}

This example using root as the root folder:
- root
  - sub1
    - sub1-1.txt
    - sub1-2.txt
    - sub1-3.txt
    - sub1-4.txt
  - sub2
    - sub2-1.txt
    - sub2-2.txt
    - sub2-3.txt
    - sub2-4.txt
  - root1.txt
  - root2.txt
  - root3.txt
  - root4.txt

It will copy from InstalledLocation folder to LocalFolder.

A: Not sure if C# supports the Array.map method, but this is what the copyFolderAsync code would look like for JavaScript
CreationCollisionOption = Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption;
NameCollisionOption = Windows.Storage.NameCollisionOption;

copyFolderAsync = function(sourceFolder, destFolder) {
  return destFolder.createFolderAsync(sourceFolder.name, CreationCollisionOption.openIfExists).then(function(destSubFolder) {
    return sourceFolder.getFilesAsync().then(function(files) {
      return WinJS.Promise.join(files.map(function(file) {
        return file.copyAsync(destSubFolder, file.name, NameCollisionOption.replaceExisting);
      }));
    }).then(function() {
      return sourceFolder.getFoldersAsync();
    }).then(function(folders) {
      return WinJS.Promise.join(folders.map(function(folder) {
        return copyFolderAsync(folder, destSubFolder);
      }));
    });
  });
};

SportFormer champions Meselech and Fatuma return to Beijing Marathon
Former champions Meselech and Fatuma return to Beijing Marathon
Reigning champion Meselech Beyene of Ethiopia and her compatriot Fatuma Sado, winner of the 2014 edition, will both return to the Chinese capital aiming to capture another title at the Beijing Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label road race, on Sunday (16).
The 24-year-old Meselech enjoyed a comfortable solo lead in the final 10 kilometers en route to her 2:27:44 victory last year, one minute shy of her personal best set six months earlier in Barcelona.
It will be the third race of the year for Meselech following a third place finish in Houston with a season's best of 2:27:21 in January and a second place showing at the Vienna City Marathon in 2:29:51 three months later.
Meselech will once again face a deep field in Beijing, as she did here last year, which includes several sub-2:25 runners including the 26-year-old Fatuma. The Ethiopian achieved her career best of 2:24:16 at the 2015 Toronto Waterfront Marathon, one year after her 2:30:03 victory in Beijing, where she ended a 22-year winning streak by local runners in the women's race.
Although she failed to dip under the 2:30 the past two years, Fatuma proved her competitiveness in Xiamen this January as she shrugged off the heavy rain and overcame a stomach problem in the latter stages to win her second title there in 2:26:41.
Meselech and Fatuma are more familiar with the course that stretches from the landmark Tian'anmen Square and ends outside the National Stadium, better known as the "Birds Nest", but the top favorite should be Kenya's Valary Jemeli Aiyabei.
The 27-year-old is the fastest woman on paper with a career best of 2:20:53 from her third finish at the 2017 Berlin Marathon. Prior to that performance in the German capital, the rising Kenyan emerged triumphant in four straight marathons in Eldoret, Barcelona, Valencia and Prague, improving her PB on each occasion.
Her winning marks in Valencia and Prague remains as the course records and she also proved her worth in 2018 with a 2:22:48 clocking in Nagoya where she finish second.
The field also includes two sub-2:22 runners, Mulu Seboka and Amane Gobena, who are both from Ethiopia. Amane recorded her PB of 2:21:51 in Tokyo two years ago while Mulu set her lifetime best of 2:21:56 in Dubai in 2015. The duo will both arrive in Beijing with high spirits following their newly claimed titles this year in Mumbai and Dalian respectively.
In the men's race, Tola Dibaba will be the quickest man on the start line thanks to his 2:06:17 PB set in Dubai back in 2012. The 30-year-old also won the Dusseldorf Marathon with a 2:08:27 clocking the same year, but has been witnessing a title drought since then. His most recent appearance was a lackluster 2:19:43 in January in Marrakesh where he just finished 16th.
His countryman Abayneh Ayele, whose PB of 2:06:45 was set in Dubai two years ago, will be running his third race in China this year. He finished second in 2:14:13 at the Chongqing Marathon in March and went on to take third place in Dongying in 2:13:47.
Kenya's Paul Kios Kangogo is arguably the most in-form man among the starters. He cut almost five minutes from his career best to finish third at the Roma Marathon in 2:09:20 but his consistency remains to be tested on Sunday.
Ethiopia's Seboka Negusse is also a serious contender as he clocked a winning time of 2:09:44 at the Hannover Marathon in April. Although the mark is 30 seconds shy of his PB set in Amsterdam back in 2015, it was the second time for him to break the 2:10 barrier.
Ethiopia's Dejene Debela is another man to watch. He owns a PB of 2:07:10 from his fourth place finish in Eindhoven last year. Dejene started the 2018 season with a 2:11:22 victory in Xiamen, the first title of his career over the classic distance. The 38th edition of Beijing Marathon will be his third race this year as he also achieved a seventh place finish at the Roma Marathon in 2:12:01 in April. (IAAF)

Evercade VS and Evercade EXP Games: The Best of the Platform So Far
By Graham Russell 10 seconds ago
A little over a year ago, we took a look at the games available on the Evercade platform at the time of the launch of the Evercade VS home system. Since then, there's been a big focus on arcade releases in the Evercade lineup, as almost a dozen cartridges have joined the library. We've been checking out the most recent collections, and we're ready to guide you to the best Evercade VS and Evercade EXP games to start in 2023!
The Best New-Retro Evercade VS and Evercade EXP Games
One great supporter of the Evercade has been the new-retro community. And with good reason! More players and a physical cartridge release have undeniable appeal. Picking the best example of this is a tough choice with so many options. Still, we think the Alwa's Awakening / Cathedral dual pack is the best place to start. The two are a good pairing for a number of reasons, starting with both appealing to the same sort of player. They're about exploring and collecting and generally spending time in an action platforming world.
How they get there is different, though. Cathedral, which has seen release on modern platforms as well, is the Evercade's first and so far only native port. The emulation on the Evercade devices is fine, but seeing something run natively and fill the screen shows just how good things could be. We know the work is probably a real barrier. Nevertheless, more native ports of games with old aesthetics would be wonderful.
Alwa's Awakening gets there the other way around. Rather than a native port, the version here is the one developer Elden Pixels crafted specifically for the NES. The original game certainly felt like it wanted to be like those games! Building specifically for that spec, though, gives it just a bit more authenticity.
For more: We talked about it in our previous version of this guide, but Mega Cat Studios Collection 2 continues to find its way back into the cartridge slot through its innovative ideas and pure gameplay variety! And stay tuned for our focused look on the first new collection of 2023, Indie Heroes Collection 2, soon.
The Best Japanese Evercade VS and Evercade EXP Games
This is one area in which Blaze Entertainment's licensing team has really been putting in some work. And, of course, around here? We're grateful for that. It's been great to see the continued dedication to preserving and showcasing the platform's local United Kingdom developers, but adding more Japanese studios broadens Evercade's appeal.
They're still doing things the Evercade way, though, with libraries full of games unlikely to get these collections elsewhere. It's certainly hard not to miss some bigger releases, but those are far more likely to be on Nintendo Switch Online or dedicated microconsoles. A great recent example: Jaleco Arcade 1! You may have played a few of these, but 64th Street: A Detective Story has a hard time making compilations over something like Final Fight and Rod Land has to deal with competition like Bubble Bobble. Here, though, they feel special. And they also bring the distinctive Japanese feel that a retro platform needs.
For more: We took a deeper dive into Irem Arcade 1, Toaplan Arcade 1 and the EXP's built-in Capcom titles in our review of the new handheld. The Technos and Data East arcade collections also have a lot to like. And, well, there are some interesting ones in our next pick…
The Best Single-Player Evercade VS and Evercade EXP Games
With both quality and variety in spades, Renovation Collection 1 is arguably the best cartridge available for the Evercade platform. The publisher is known for picking up and releasing many of the deeper cuts of the Sega Genesis library. These came both from its parent company, Telenet Japan, and other developers. With a few small exceptions, this collection is dedicated to solo play, with a host of shoot-'em-up and RPG titles to keep you playing for quite a while.
Included in Renovation Collection 1 are some choice titles from revered studio Wolf Team. Like RPG Arcus Odyssey! And action-platformer El Viento! Oh, and Dino Land, a quirky pinball game that's a lot more fun than you'd think? There's a reason people love the Wolf Team library so intensely, and though we love the Tales franchise around here, it's nice to see the genre variety of the studio's early days.
For more: The library is expanding and covering up a lot more of its genre weaknesses, but Codemasters Collection 1 and Piko Interactive Collection 1 still offer a good variety. There are also some fun inclusions in the new Gremlin Collection 1, even including a soccer management game.
The Best Multiplayer Evercade VS Games
There are tons of great two-player options for Evercade VS play, bolstered by the growing Arcade cartridge line. Somewhat more elusive is a good four-player centerpiece for party play. Enter Morphcat Games Collection 1, with its two Micro Mages campaigns.
While Micro Mages' aesthetic may initially remind players of TowerFall, its dedicated co-op approach lends it a different feel. Those titular "micro" mages aren't just personality; making them so small lets worlds be much larger than you're used to seeing from an NES game, and two whole campaigns mean you'll be playing for a while.
For more: All the Arcade collections offer some fun titles! And you can't go too wrong with a few rounds of Worms.
The Evercade EXP handheld retails for $149.99, with the IREM Arcade 1 cart and built-in Capcom titles. The Evercade VS home system is also still available. For more coverage on the Blaze Evercade ecosystem and its games, check out our archive.

Enter for your chance to win an admit-two pass to the special advance screening of LITTLE MEN on Wednesday, August 31st!
At first, Jake and Tony don't seem to notice; the two boys, so different on the surface, begin to develop a formative kinship as they discover the pleasures of being young in Brooklyn. Jake aspires to be an artist, while Tony wants to be an actor, and they have dreams of going to the same prestigious arts high school together. But the children can't avoid the problems of their parents forever, and soon enough, the adult conflict intrudes upon the borders of their friendship.
Directed by Ira Sachs with his trademark humanism and insight, LITTLE MEN highlights the New York City landscape with a story of life-defining friendships in the midst of familial turmoil.


That three day weekend was such a blessing for me. You too?
It doesn't seem like that one day should make such a difference, but it really does! I mean, if every weekend were a three day weekend, I would be a better employee, blogger, wife, you name it!
That extra day is enough to give us a chance to slow down and embrace the beauty that is around us; enjoy a cup of coffee, the falling leaves, and the final days of cool weather before cold settles in.
Honestly, there was so much I could have done with that extra day off, but I decided instead to embrace it and enjoy it by relaxing around the house.
As I get older, I find myself more and more content being home. Do you feel that way?
I just don't need to be out to enjoy myself. A glass of red wine, a cozy fire, and a Hallmark Christmas movie get me pretty excited these days. Is that old age? Maturity? Happiness?
Let's go with happiness for 500.
I suppose this is just another one of those changes that we go through or the fact that we married our best friend. Either way, I'm pretty content with that extra day.
I could't agree more! Extra days off make life seem a little easier to handle! I would have to also agree with the happiness & maturity. The world can be so busy and demanding sometimes. We need to learn to slow down & give ourselves a break! It is good to hear I am not the only one trying to accomplish that!
These are such adorable photos – you two are so cute! Totally agree with you on the extra day off – relaxing at home is my perfect idea of an extra day.
I feel exactly the same way about three day weekends. I used Saturday and Sunday to be productive and then lazed around on Monday, mostly just watching TV and knitting. It was glorious.
I think it's a sign of maturity. Mature happiness?
I find myself being more at peace at home these days myself. Like you said a nice glass of wine, a good movie, and my two fave guys and I am good to go!
amen! i love this post. even though i had to work monday - i know what you mean - extra time gives us that moment of breath. to just.... be. love these pics!!
I love these pictures!!! Unfortunately I did not have a 3 day weekend :( sadness. I definitely agree that I'm more content being at home.
So the Saturday after Thanksgiving I'm going to a NC State football game. Is there another day that would work for us to get together?
I'm so jealous - I had to work on Monday! haha. I'm the same way about being ok with staying at home more. It makes me feel twice my age, but I really look forward to those low key nights at home with my husband!

About 767 million people lived on less than $1.90 a day in 2013.
A vast majority of the poor live in rural areas, are poorly educated, mostly employed in the agricultural sector and more than half are under 18 years of age.
What does all this mean for the vulnerable populations social workers and nurses serve?
The answer to that question was the focus of this year's All School Day event hosted by the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work at Bovard Auditorium on Feb. 15. The theme of "Human Dignity: How Poverty Affects Human Rights" featured speakers from various areas of study, including law, filmmaking, social work and nursing, to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration in addressing the effects of poverty.
Dean Marilyn Flynn pointed out how society often discusses the effects of poverty, such as poor health, unemployment and homelessness, but rarely does it dig deep enough to address the root cause.
All School Day, an annual educational forum co-led by students and faculty, began in 1992 after racial tensions sparked civil unrest in Los Angeles. Each year since, the school has brought people together in an atmosphere of cooperation, respect and inclusion to raise awareness about diversity and to discuss how society can better communicate across differences in race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, social class and disability.
Cherrie Short, associate dean of global and community initiatives, organized the event with the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights in mind.
Alicia Cass MSW '07 gave an impassioned speech about the vital role social workers play in the lives of their clients. Cass knows what it's like to be part of a vulnerable population: After her mother died when she was 4, she experienced sexual abuse, began selling drugs at 12, joined a gang at 13, was in and out of foster care until 15 when she became pregnant with her first child, became a single mother when her daughter's father was murdered, became homeless, dropped out of school, had two more babies by 19, was in a domestic violence relationship at 23, was in public housing and on welfare, had six kids by 26, and now at 46 years old has eight children.
Cass, the founder of The Metamorphosis Experience, which assists and supports women and youth in underserved communities, told the audience of students that their roles as social workers and health care professionals will have a profound effect on people like her.
During the panel discussion, which included Niels Frenzen, director of the USC Gould School of Law Immigration Clinic, and Ellen Olshansky, chair of the Department of Nursing at the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, the speakers discussed how their respective areas of expertise view poverty and its effects on people.
Frenzen also pointed out the differences between people who can afford to come to the United States via airplanes versus those who can't even qualify for visas due to their poverty.
Representing the health care angle, Olshansky emphasized the natural partnership between social work and nursing, as the Master of Science in Nursing program at the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work focuses on community health and the effects the social environment has on health.
She pointed to several examples of inequities stemming from socioeconomic status, including how access to health care is not enough if the ensuing treatment is not fair, how domestic violence saw an uptick during the most recent recession and how defunding family planning services such as Planned Parenthood limits access to reproductive health to only those who can afford it.

What is the purpose of the Public Engagement activities of the relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to caverns?
We wish to maintain close dialogue and share the latest information with the public through the Public Engagement activities. We will collect public opinions and concerns, and work together with the public to enhance the relocation proposal.
How will you make use of my views?
The consultant will collect and compile public views. We will introduce suitable enhanced and innovative elements based on the project situation in response to public concerns, with a view to further improving the relocation proposal.
How can I participate in the Public Engagement exercise?
You may refer to the announcement of the website for the latest details of the Public Engagement activities.
How can I express my opinions?
Why do you propose Nui Po Shan of A Kung Kok as site for relocation of the Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works?
According to the study on "Enhanced Use of Underground Space in Hong Kong" completed by the Civil Engineering and Development Department in March 2011, the preliminarily proposed site for relocation of the Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to caverns was Nui Po Shan of A Kung Kok.
Under the feasibility study, a re-confirmation review of the proposed relocation site was conducted. When conducting the review, the feasibility study consultant identified a suitable site adjacent to the existing Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works.
With appropriate measures, the traffic impact near the proposed relocation site arising from the relocation works would be well mitigated.
Will the relocation proposal cause any adverse impact to the surrounding environment?
Will the relocation proposal affect the effluent export route and the water quality of the Tolo Harbour and the Victoria Harbour?
The existing Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works is being operated such that the effluent quality will meet the requirements set down in the Discharge Licence issued by the Environmental Protection Department.
Under the current arrangement, the treated effluent from the existing Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works is conveyed to the effluent export tunnel starting at Nui Po Shan of A Kung Kok and be conveyed to Kai Tak River in Wong Tai Sin for discharge. This arrangement can make use of the flushing effect by the treated, clean effluent from the Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works, and hence improve the water quality and environment of Kai Tak River. This arrangement will be maintained after relocating the Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to caverns.
According to the preliminarily planning of the relocation project, the relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works will maintain the same effluent quality after relocation. Nevertheless, the Drainage Services Department will keep close liaison with the Environmental Protection Department and the relevant parties to ensure that the effluent quality of the relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works will meet the planned use of the receiving water body.
Will the relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works cause any odour issue to the nearby community?
To obtain more reliable wind data for odour impact assessment, the Drainage Services Department engaged the City University of Hong Kong to conduct a wind tunnel test for analysing the wind speed and wind direction at the proposed relocation site (Nui Po Shan of A Kung Kok) and developing the wind rose for the site.
Enhancing the odour management of the sludge transportation (including adopting sludge carrying vehicles with enclosed containers, cleaning and drying the surface of the sludge carrying vehicles before leaving the caverns, carrying out regular monthly tests for the enclosed containers to ensure proper functioning, etc.).
Will the sludge carrying vehicles cause any odour issue during operation of the relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works?
At present, there are about 20 vehicles per day taking sludge away from the existing Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works. Although the incoming sewage will increase progressively in future, sludge carrying vehicles with larger capacity will be used, the number of vehicles will be kept at a similar level. In addition, we will enhance the odour management of the sludge transportation, including adopting sludge carrying vehicles with enclosed containers, cleaning and drying the surface of the sludge carrying vehicles before leaving the caverns, carrying out regular monthly tests for the enclosed containers to ensure proper functioning, etc.
Will the relocation proposal cause any adverse impact to the traffic network nearby?
The construction of the temporary steel bridge requires approximately one year, while the preparation works for blasting operation may need approximately one year to complete, and thus aids the transportation of rock materials by construction vehicles.
The Contractor will be required to limit the construction vehicles for transporting the excavated rock materials to access or leave the construction site during morning and afternoon peak hours.
How long will the construction of the relocation project take?
With the funding approval of the Legislative Council Finance Committee Meeting on 26 October 2018, the Stage 1 works commenced on 28 February 2019. It is anticipated that Stage 1 works will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. The remainder of the relocation project mainly comprises the construction of the cavern complex at Nui Po Shan, installation and testing of the sewage and sludge treatment works and associated facilities, construction works for upstream sewerage and pumping stations, and decommissioning and demolition of the existing Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works. The relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works is anticipated to commence operation in 2030.
Is there any linkage between the Ma Liu Shui reclamation proposal and the proposal for relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to caverns?
The Ma Liu Shui reclamation proposal by Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) and the proposal for relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to caverns by Drainage Services Department, covering different engineering scopes, are two separate and independent projects. Nonetheless, the land resources released by both proposals initiate a synergy: if Ma Liu Shui reclamation proposal is supported by the public, CEDD will together consider the released lands from the two proposals and formulate an overall development strategies in future planning and feasibility study.
Drill and blast method is adopted for the cavern construction, what is the vibration level of the nearby buildings during the blasting operations?
The consultant completed the preliminary assessment on blasting vibration of nearby buildings / structures since drill and blast method will be adopted for the cavern construction.
Nowadays, the allowable vibration limits for general buildings / structures and sensitive buildings / structures are 25mm/s and 13mm/s respectively. Based on the evaluation results, the predicted vibrations of nearby estates / villages (e.g. Chevalier Garden, Kam Tai Court, A Kung Kok Fishermen Village, Tai Shui Hang Village, Mui Tsz Lam Village, etc.) will be much lower than the above limits. The feasibility study consultant anticipated that the current advanced blasting technology and control measures can effectively mitigate the vibration of nearby buildings to an acceptable level.
Liaison office will be set-up near the cavern site to facilitate enquiry from the nearby residents. Liaison office will also regularly send updated blasting schedules to the nearby estates / villages.
The preliminary blasting vibration assessment has been completed and with the implementation of suitable mitigation measures, the relevant requirements are completed and significant impact to adjacent facilities is not anticipated.
Will the cavern construction activities and the sewage in the sewage treatment works affect the groundwater?
The groundwater level near the caverns will be monitored during the construction stage to ensure that the surrounding groundwater level will not be affected due to the cavern construction activities and presence of the caverns.
Sewage in the sewage treatment works will be contained in sewage treatment tanks composed of reinforced concrete structures with seepage preventive measures. Therefore, the sewage will not have any direct contact with the rock in the caverns nor cause any groundwater pollution.
Will the design treatment capacity of the relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works take into account the projected population in Sha Tin?
The design treatment capacity of the relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works will take into account the projected population in Sha Tin. Nevertheless, if there is any unforeseen substantial increase in sewage treatment demand in future, the relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works could be expanded by using the underground space to increase the sewage treatment capacity. Compared with the traditional open plan sewage treatment works, the sewage treatment works in caverns could make use of underground space more easily for expansion of the facilities.
Will advanced sewage treatment technology be considered in the relocation proposal?
Sulfate Reduction, Autotrophic Denitrification and Nitrification Integrated (SANI®) Process.
How will you make use of the rock materials from the excavation of caverns?
We anticipate that the rock materials from the excavation of caverns are mainly granites, which are useful construction materials. Part of the granites will be reused on site as road base, drainage layer materials or backfill materials. The remaining granite will be transported to Lam Tei Quarries for processing into aggregates to support other construction projects. On the other hand, moderately and fully decomposed granite will be transported to Tuen Mun Area 38 Fill Bank as backfill materials for other construction projects.
Will the excavation of caverns affect the terrestrial ecology?
The excavation of caverns, similar to tunneling works, will be conducted underground, thus minimizes the ecological impacts to the ground surfaces of Nui Po Shan and the nearby environment.
Will relocation project cause adverse health impacts to the nearby residents?
The risk arising from exposure to toxic air pollutants (TAPs) associated with the emissions of the relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works is evaluated in our Environmental Impact Assessment Report (as approved by the Director of Environmental Protection). The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health impact of the TAPs imposed to the impacted Human Receptors (HRs) were assessed and compared with international guideline levels. It is concluded that the levels of TAPs at HRs were found to be extremely small when compared to the derived reference levels. The highest incremental cancer risk arising from the operation of relocated Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works is predicted to be 7.1E-08 which is far below the guidance level of 1E-06 adopted by USEPA and it is considered that the relocation project would not present an unacceptable risk to the nearby residents.

Си́ня Борода́ — казка Шарля Перро зі збірки «Казки матінки моєї Гуски, або ж історії та оповідки минулих часів з повчальними висновками» (1697). Твір розповідає про вбивцю своїх дружин. Прототипом головного персонажа казки переважно вважається маршал Франції Жиль де Ре.

Синя Борода — персонаж багатьох літературних, музичних, кінематографічних та інших творів.

Сюжет
Синя Борода — дуже багатий чоловік, який одружується з красунями, які згодом десь загадково зникають. Синя Борода просить згоди на шлюб з однією з дочок своєї сусідки. Проте, жодна з них не бажає виходити заміж за чоловіка з синьою бородою. Провівши бенкет у своєму віддаленому замку, молодша сестра, зрештою, погоджується одружитися з ним.

Після весілля, вони поселяються у розкішному палаці. Минає місяць і Синя Борода повідомляє дружині, що мусить на деякий час відлучитися у важливих справах. Дружина отримує від чоловіка ключі від заміського замку. За чоловіковою настановою, вона зможе відчиняти будь-які двері, окрім дверей, що ведуть до маленької комірчини на першому поверсі.

Молода хазяйка запрошує до заміського замку своїх подруг, які тільки лиш можуть позаздрити її багатствам. Знехтувавши забороною Синьої Бороди, вона відчиняє двері до потаємної кімнати, де вся підлога залита кров'ю, а на стіні висять кілька вбитих жінок, колишні дружини Синьої Бороди. Маленький ключик випадає їй з рук та замащується кров'ю, яку неможливо відмити.

Несподівано повертається Синя Борода, який просить дружину повернути йому ключі й довідується, що вона, попри заборону, таки увійшла до комірчини. Чоловік дозволяє їй попрощатися зі своєю сестрою Анною, після чого на неї чекає така ж доля, як і на попередніх дружин Бороди. Хазяйка просить сестру зійти на високу вежу і поглянути, чи не їдуть їхні брати, які обіцяли навідатись. Після кількох невдалих спроб побачити прибуття братів, молода жінка мусить спуститися до свого чоловіка, щоб прийняти смерть від його рук. Саме коли Синя Борода підносить над нею ножа, до замку вдираються двоє лицарів-братів, що прохромлюють Синю Бороду своїми шпагами й рятують сестру. Згодом брати поселяються у замку, не згадуючи про його колишнього власника.

On Thursday, August 6, by a vote of 68-31, the full Senate voted to confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The NRA opposed the confirmation of Judge Sotomayor and announced our opposition to her confirmation after the conclusion of her testimony before the Senate Judiciary committee on July 16th. Early on, NRA expressed concerns about Judge Sotomayor's suitability to serve on the Court, given her previous rulings on Second Amendment issues. However, out of respect for the confirmation process, NRA did not announce our position on her confirmation until the conclusion of her testimony before the U.S. Senate.

Q: Unable to upload files via any browser or application I am simply trying to upload photos to various online services.  I am unable to upload files to the following services:
Gmail (as attachment)
Picasa Web Albums (via Shotwell, Picasa, F-Spot, GoogleCL, or browsers Chrome/FF)
Facebook (via Shotwell, F-spot, or browsers Chrome/FF)
Dropbox
etc.
Basically I can't upload anything
In all cases of browser based attempts I can can attach/queue files, but then there is no data going out.  For apps such as Shotwell, I can log in to services, but files never upload and eventually timeout saying the remote service cannot be reached.
I have tried via WiFI and Wired connection, via the same O2 broadband router.  Other machines (Windows, OSX) on the same network can upload files without a problem.  I have not tried via a different broadband connection yet as I don't currently have access to one.
My setup:

*

*Samsung N220 w/ Realtek 8192E wireless controller using ndiswrapper

*Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick, all packages up to date

Happy to provide any further information, logs, etc. or anything that will help with troubleshooting.  I consider myself a reasonably technical person and this problem is doing my head in!

A: I don't think the problem is in the network, or you shouldn't be able to browse or send anything (and when you send an e-mail, you're already sending data, even without attachments).
Most of the upload tools use java applets, are you sure it's installed in your system? Or maybe it's installed but disabled?
put this in firefox:
about:addons
and in the plugins section look you have java enabled (icedtea in my case) If it's enabled you could try to reinstall it. The name of the package is:
icedtea-plugin
If it's a new install, maybe you haven't installed the restricted extras like flash and java, you could install'em with
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Good luck.


The loss of tissue homeostasis and mechanoreciprocity are considered one of the hallmarks of cancer. Here we have applied a porous type I collagen-based three-dimensional (3D) scaffold to study how breast cancer cells interact with and alter extracellular collagen. We assessed the modifications induced by tumor cells on the micro- and macro- characteristic of extracellular collagen and on its compressive stiffness. Mechanical testing was conducted both with an in-house built low-force compressive device and by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. The stiffness of single collagen fibers was assessed by Atomic Force Microscopy. When cultured on collagen scaffolds, the two cell lines generated coherent tissue-like structures. MCF7 displayed an epithelial morphology with a tightly cohesive cobblestone appearance, while MDA-MB-231 showed a mesenchymal phenotype with lower cell-to-cell contact. MDA-MB-231, which belongs to the aggressive basal-like subtype, increased scaffold stiffness from 46.9 kPa, to 57.9 kPa, and overexpressed the matrix-modifying enzyme, lysyl oxidase (LOX), whereas luminal A MCF-7 cells did not alter the mechanical characteristics of extracellular collagen. When the activity of LOX was blocked, MDA-MB-231 were unable to alter the scaffold stiffness: the compressive modulus increased by 8.9%, in contrast to the increase observed without LOX inhibition (23%). No significant changes were found between the Young's modulus of fibers taken from control scaffolds compared to fibers taken from scaffolds after culture with MDA-MB-231. Overall this work provides evidence that invasive, mesenchymal-like breast cancer cells produce high levels of the crosslinking enzyme LOX, and are able to increase the stiffness of extracellular collagen and to alter its structural characteristics. A causal relationship between this behavior of cancer cells and expression of the enzyme LOX was also provided. Our model offers a relevant in vitro tool to reproduce and investigate the biomechanical interplay subsisting between cancer cells and the surrounding ECM.


The Studebaker Coupe Express was in some ways the spiritual predecessor of the '46 Hudson with its sleek, low-slung styling. The '37 model was attractive in its own right, but the '39 model had a decisively more modern look, with fender-mounted headlights. Adding to the iconic look was a front-fender-mounted spare tire, rounded roof, and pontoon front and rear fenders. The M-series truck, which succeeded the Coupe Express, had a unique style of its own, but its blunter, more upright profile lacked the head-turning style of the Coupe Express.
The GMC Jimmy Casa Grande was a collaboration between GM and Chinook Mobilodge, a manufacturer of self-contained motorhomes and campers, being best known for their Toyota-based camper conversions.
The base Chalet/Casa Grande packed everything one needed to tame the great outdoors, including the kitchen sink. There were sleeping accommodations for two, seating for four, a dinette table, a stainless steel sink, a potable water carrying capacity of five gallons, a two-burner lpg stove with a stainless-steel top and an icebox. Upgrading to "Option Package Two" gained buyers a refrigerator that operated on lpg or on electrical power via an auxiliary battery and an AC/DC converter. Option Package Three increased sleeping capacity to four with the addition of a pair of overhead bunks of questionable space and comfort.

the Nauti-Mobile, a Buick that Garner turned into a real boat of a car, with the windshield of a '67 Datsun grafted on top with a real ship's wheel and a bow.
Pippa was born Philip Garner, fought in the Vietnam war, contracted leukemia through the exposure to Agent Orange, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, the Merv Griffin Show and other talk shows showcasing her satirical consumer product "inventions", and her art has appeared in Car and Driver, Rolling Stone, Arts and Architecture and Vogue, among other publications. In 1993 at the age of 50 underwent surgery to become a woman.
A Chevrolet modified by Pippa was featured in Esquire Magazine in 1975 and noticed by the San Francisco art collective Ant Farm, and she subsequently began a collaboration with Chip Lord.
She is now 72 years old. She began her career as an artist at Art Center in LA and was in a circle of notable artists such as Chris Burden and Ed Ruscha. She has worked in video, performance, drawing, sculpture and most recently has taken professional acting classes. What ties all her interests together is her wit and sense of humor which she applies to her cultural commentary.
Pippa's work centers on cars that are more than just cars. She is famous for some of her functioning automotive creations, like the 1968 Buick LeSabre Boat Car with a flying bridge and a plaque reading "Long time no sea."
The Italien was a featured in Ford's 1962-63 "Custom Car Caravan" and the 1964 New York Worlds Fair's "Cavalcade of Custom Cars" then appeared in Autoramas throughout the United States such as Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami and more.
The Italien was featured in 14+ magazines in 1963 and 1964 such as "Motor Trend", "Hot Rod", "Car Life", "Motorcade", "Speed and Custom" and others.
Dale Robertson, tv star on a cowboy show, fell in love with it, and wanted it. Since the only contact information was the placard from Dearborn Steel Tubing in the car, Robertson contacted them.
He offered DST $10,000.00 for the car and then DST went to work trying to convince Ford to sell them the car rather than scrap it. They were successful and as you learned earlier, they purchased the Italien from Ford for $5,000.00 and immediately sold it to Robertson for $10,000.00.
All in all, DST did well, they got paid $11,000.00 from Ford to build it and then picked up another $5,000.00 when they sold it to Robertson. Robertson drove the Italien regularly around the Los Angeles area and one enthusiast remembers spotting it on the highway and following it only to lose it in the hills of Hollywood.
Circa 1965, Robertson let his secretary take the Italien on an errand and she rear ended another car.
The Thunderbird Italien was a styling study from Ford's own Thunderbird styling department and was designed by Fords own Thunderbird Stylists who actually built the plywood buck over which they sculpted the clay model of the roof in their own studio and then gave the car to DST where Vince Gardner made the one piece plaster cast over the clay from which he made the fiberglass roof and deck lid.

it was then flipped again, but without the star, the car went for non-star power money 31k.
Western themed cars seem to be quite a thing, and a couple you my not have heard of are the '58 Caballero built for Bill Mitchell, or a '50 Roadmaster convertible built for Harlow Curtice and then, of course, there's the long-lost '59 "Texan" -- the Western-themed Invicta Estate Wagon that provided the pattern for the '60 Invicta Custom Estate Wagon.
In a sign of solidarity by loggers, more than 300 logging trucks rolled into Darby, Mont., in May 1988 to deliver about 1 million board feet of logs. Beginning in the late 1980s, a series of harassing legal actions against the Forest Service by environmental groups forced the Service to cancel its sales of timber, causing the nearly complete collapse of the industry. One by one, mills closed their doors.
A bunch of logging companies and sawmills were donating these, and the logging trucks were on their way to donate all the logs to keep Darby Lumber running.
The truck count into Darby was 303. Organizers expected about 220 logging trucks would take part in the Great Northwest Log Haul when it started rolling out of Libby headed for the wood-strapped Darby Lumber Co. The convoy stretched for 15 miles. It provided enough logs to keep the mill running about three weeks.
Organizers of the Great Northwest Log Haul claimed the Darby mill was shut down because of excessive environmentalist challenges to Forest Service timber sales.
Years later, he hit on a plan for hauling several truckloads of shovels to Elko, Nev., to protest U.S. Forest Service road closings, it was called the Jarbidge Shovel Brigade.
He had heard of a situation in Elko County, Nev., where the Forest Service was refusing to repair a public road in Inyo-Humboldt National Forest, near the minute town of Jarbidge, and indeed had even blocked access with boulders and debris.
Residents of the county were outraged and tried to open it, only to be blocked by court action.
When Hurst learned that the people had tried to open that road with shovels, but were stopped - that what was going on there was what was going on in Eureka he contacted the county commissioners in Elko and offered to bring a few shovels as a symbolic gesture.
He ended up bringing over 11,000 that people had donated. He called them Shovels for Solidarity. Some were used that July 4 to open the road in Jarbidge Canyon.
Nannini credits Hurst with making it possible for the county to reclaim the Jarbidge Canyon road.
Four of Elko County's five commissioners are expected in Eureka, bringing with them 500 shovels, plus the 13-foot-high shovel — embellished with the names of 9,000 sympathizers — that has stood upright in front of the courthouse in the city of Elko since erected last year.

Dolly Parton and Alyvia Alyn Lind Team Up For Epic Dollywood Expansion Announcement
Published August 3, 2018 / Last Updated August 3, 2018
Tune-In Alert: Don't Miss Dolly's Upcoming Television and Streaming Specials - November 26, 2019
Dolly Parton received some help from actress Alyvia Alyn Lind during an epic announcement at Dollywood today!
Hearing the familiar voice of "Little Dolly" in DP's Celebrity Theater was quite a surprise for Dollywood visitors as well as the visiting members of the press. Actress Alyvia Alyn Lind joined Dolly Parton on stage and set the scene for one of Dollywood's biggest announcements in the park's history.
Dollywood, already one of the nation's premier family vacation destinations, is growing even larger thanks to an impressive expansion. Wildwood Grove, the largest capital investment in Dollywood's 32-year history, is slated to open in 2019. The new land provides an adventurous journey for guests to explore, imagine and play together as a family. Dolly said,
"I've told you before about how I'd let my imagination roam free when I'd be out exploring in the hills around our home in the Smoky Mountains. I'd pretend that the frogs and butterflies were my friends. I'd imagine about what it'd be like to fly with a dragonfly or to follow a bear family through the woods. Now all these things are coming true for our guests to experience in Wildwood Grove; it may be my new favorite part of Dollywood!"
Wildwood Grove features 11 thrilling experiences for guests, comprised of six unique ride attractions—including a suspended family roller coaster called the Dragonflier— the 55 ft. tall Wildwood Tree, live entertainment, various indoor and outdoor play areas for families to enjoy, a new restaurant and more. The total cost for the project is $37 million, meeting The Dollywood Company's 2013 commitment of $300 million in investments over a 10 year period four years ahead of schedule. Dolly also said,
"This area is going to give families a place to explore, play and imagine together—but more importantly—it's a place where they can spend more time together," she explained. "I believe everyone has a song in their heart that needs to be set free. Wildwood Grove will be a place where families can learn together about what their heart song truly is."
The Dollywood Company President Craig Ross echoed Dolly's sentiments about how Wildwood Grove provides a range of experiences for every member of the family.
"I think our guests are going to be excited about the diverse combination of attractions they will find in Wildwood Grove," Ross said. "It continues our commitment to provide guests a variety of unique experiences and attractions that every visitor to the park can enjoy. We've also incorporated many of their requests for certain amenities that help make their visit more enjoyable. In Wildwood Grove, you'll find more charging stations, a climate-controlled indoor space for play, larger respite locations, additional play areas which are more inclusive for everyone, and more entertainment opportunities for every member of the family."
Dolly and Alyvia closed the event with a beautiful performance of "Tennessee Mountain Home." Alyvia Alyn Lind starred as Little Dolly in "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" (2015) and "Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love" (2016).

2018's Season of Showstoppers
While Wildwood Grove opens in 2019, Dollywood guests still have great festivals to enjoy during 2018's Season of Showstoppers. Dollywood's Harvest Festival presented by Humana (Sept. 28-Nov. 3) features the return of Great Pumpkin LumiNights—which doubles in size in 2018—as well as the largest Southern gospel celebration in the world. The season ends with the 10-time winner for Best Christmas Event, Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas presented by Humana (Nov. 10- Jan. 5). This year, Wilderness Pass transforms into Glacier Ridge, a winter wonderland complete with a 50 ft. tall video motion Christmas tree.

WATCH: Gold Derby Interview With Dolly Parton About NBC Films
Published June 14, 2017 / Last Updated June 14, 2017
Dolly Parton recalls her emotions when watching herself portrayed on screen by Alyvia Alyn Lind in an interview with Gold Derby!
In an interview with Gold Derby's Chris Beachum, Dolly Parton talks about how she was moved to tears by "Christmas of Many Colors." She shares her emotional reaction to both NBC movies based on her life.
Shortly before the premiere of the first film, Dolly joined her sister Stella Parton for a private screening. Dolly recalled the overwhelming feelings of nostalgia. She remembers saying,
"How amazing is this to be here holding hands as sisters like when we were little kids, and somebody in the movies playing us… It was very, very moving. Very touching."
"Coat of Many Colors" (2015) and "Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love" (2016) were both ratings smashes for NBC. The cast of stars including Ricky Schroder (Lee Parton), Jennifer Nettles (Avie Lee Parton), Gerald McRaney (Rev. Jake Owens) and Alyvia Alyn Lind (Little Dolly) all delivered moving performances in both films.
Gold Derby reports the network plans repeat airings for many years to come. In addition, the first two films were part of a four movie deal between Dolly and NBC. "Jolene" is said to be the subject of the next release. Unlike the first two, the next film will be based on Dolly's song rather than her life and will veer from the faith-based, family focused genre. Dolly said,
"Jolene, of course, in the song was a flamboyant girl that was out to steal somebody's man but she has redeeming qualities."
Dolly continues the interview by reflecting on receiving awards such as the Kennedy Center Honors, dear friends including Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda and much more.

The all-star cast including Dolly Parton, Jennifer Nettles, Ricky Schroder, Alyvia Alyn Lind, and many more made their way down the red carpet along Dollywood's Showstreet. Dolly greeted her fans and members of the media alongside Alyvia Alyn Lind who plays Little Dolly. When asked what the "Little Dolly" inside her would have to say about all the excitement of the night Dolly said,
"I still feel like that little girl, that's why I wanted Little Dolly, little Alyvia Lind, to be with me because it's really kind of like going back in time…I feel like Mama and Daddy is kind of right here with us, and it's very touching, and it's very emotional."
Jennifer Nettles shined as she talked about her role as Avie Lee. As Ricky Schroeder made his way down the red carpet, he shared his excitement to see the new film along with his fellow co-stars. Cameron Jones, a young New Zealand-born actor, was cast as Dolly's Uncle Bill Owens. Cameron joked to reporters about living up to his real-life counterpart's stellar good looks which have been something of a family treasure among the Partons.

Joseph Colón (born February 18, 1990) is a Puerto Rican former professional baseball pitcher. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cleveland Indians.

Career

Cleveland Indians
After graduating from the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy and High School, the Indians selected Colón in the 12th round of the 2009 MLB draft. He missed the 2010 season due to injury. He spent the next three seasons pitching for the Lake County Captains of the Class A Midwest League and the Carolina Mudcats of the Class A-Advanced Carolina League. He reached the Akron RubberDucks of the Class AA Eastern League in 2014.

In 2015, the Indians converted Colón from a starting pitcher into a relief pitcher. He spent the 2015 season with Akron and the Columbus Clippers of the Class AAA International League. A minor league free agent after the 2015 season, the Indians resigned Colón with a non-roster invitation to spring training in 2016. That offseason, Minor League Baseball announced Colón failed a test for a "drug of abuse" for the second time, and would be suspended for the first 50 games of the 2016 season.

The Indians purchased Colón's contract and added him to the 40-man roster on July 2, 2016. The Indians promoted Colón to the major leagues on July 7.

On July 1, 2017, Colón was suspended for the remainder of the 2017 season after testing positive for a banned substance.

A sockpuppet is a wiki account created for the purpose of convincing wiki readers that the account is owned by someone other than the person (or really, identity) that created it. For example, if Alice posts on the wiki using the username "Alice", she may wish to use a different username to post comments that do not appear to come from her. To achieve this, she may create another account called "Bob", so that wiki readers believe that Bob posted comments rather than Alice.
There are various reasons why someone might create sockpuppet accounts. One is to make it look like a lot of different people think a particular business is really great, or to make it look like a lot of different people think a particular business is really awful, when in fact it is just one person's opinion. Or sometimes people will argue with themselves just to mess with the rest of us.
Creating sockpuppet accounts is discouraged and is often easily detected through various means. When a sockpuppet is detected, alert wiki readers will often note that the account is most likely from another user, identifying that user, and the reason why they believe the poster is a sockpuppet. Because of this, postings by sockpuppets generally have very low credibility, and users who create sockpuppets may have their own credibility reduced in the view of other wiki readers. Comments from sockpuppets may even be deleted if circumstances warrant.
There was also an unfortunate Sockpuppet virus that plagued wiki users in April 2007.
The behavior associated with sock puppet accounts is often referred to as "sock puppetry", but it would be more grammatically correct to call it "sock puppeteering".
I absolutely agree with you, and that was a fantastic point to make!
- Disparaging a competitor while promoting your own business or service.
- Promoting yourself by name, especially for people at businesses.
- Using the same computer with multiple accounts to say the same thing.
