Fontbonne opened the scoring with a goal by #7 Robyn Meesey with 12 minutes left in the first half. Westminster tied it up in the 50th minute when freshman Megan Gunnels (Ozark/MO Elite SC) finished a ball played squarely across the six by junior Jen Brotherton. Meesey answered back two minutes later when she finished a cross served from deep in the right corner by #22 Tori Preiss. Preiss extended the Griffin's lead to 3-1 in the 72nd minute with a goal of her own. Meesey completed a hat-trick in the 79th minute finishing a cross from #6 Kendra Schilli. #14 Kaitlin Bramel (Rolla) scored the final goal of the game in the 81st minute to seal the 5-1 victory for Fontbonne.
Game Preview: In an early season SLIAC Conference game, it's #5 ranked Westminster (4-4, 1-0) visiting the #3 ranked Griffins (2-2-1, 1-0) Tuesday night. Both teams have beaten Spaulding to open their Conference season, Westminster winning by a 3-0 margin while Fontbonne won last week 4-0.
Fontbonne has a pair of players from Southwest Missouri. Sophomore Kim Carter, a defender has started in 4 games while playing in 5 while her former high scool teammate on the Rolla Bulldogs, junior Kaitlin Bramel has started 3 of the 5 games she's played in. Bramel got her first goal of the season in the Griffon's 4-0 Conference win over Spaulding.
The Blue Jays have three players from Southwest Missouri. Freshman Megan Gunnels (Ozark/MO Elite FC) has started 7 of the 8 games played this year and leads the team in scoring. She has 4 goals and 3 assists to lead the team in goals and total points, 11. In addition to Gunnels, the Blue Jays have two sophomores from Southwest Missouri. Chelsea Cole, a defender from Nixa, has played in six games on defense while Emma Ray, a midfielder from West Plains has also played in six games and has a start as well.
Westminster is coached by Jen (Simek) Dyson, a 2006 graduate of Drury, where she earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology. She played collegiately at Drury and appeared in 73 matches during her career. Dyson served as a graduate assistant women's soccer coach at Drury University for two years before taking the job at Westminster. She married Westminster assistant men's basketball and men's golf coach Dave Dyson in 2010.
A tough challenge for the Northside Springfield squad, as they traveled to Rolla on Wednesday to face the District 10 favorites in a game delayed one day due to field conditions. The game ended on Ashley Kerr's goal when she followed Olivia Cox's shot from the top of the box. Jillian Gerkey rejected the initial shot with her diving save but Ashley lifted it over the prone keeper from just outside the six yard box. The Hornets never backed off and made several trips into the Bulldogs box during my period at the game (2nd half) but don't have as sophisticated an attack and were shutout.
For the Lady Bulldogs both Jaclyn Standfast and Ashley Kerr had hat tricks, with three goals each. Olivia Cox tallied two goals and Emily Spooner and Caitlin McFarland each added one. Cox and Kerr each had two assists with Kim Carter and Spooner scoring one each.
I took some time afterwards to chat with a pair of senior co-captains for the Bulldogs, checking in on their results so far this season and what the teams goals are. Here are Kim Carter and Ashley Kerr.

Mictomagnetism is a spin system in which various exchange interactions are mixed. It is observed in several kinds of alloys, including Cu-Mn, Fe-Al and Ni-Mn alloys. Cooled in zero magnetic field, these materials have low remanence and coercivity. Cooled in a magnetic field, they have much larger remanence and the hysteresis loop is shifted in the direction opposite to the field (an effect similar to exchange bias).

I'm pretty sure it's the famous one ..... sounds just like the Sean Young on Facebook, linked to from the official site.


The most common type of motion sensor is the infrared sensor. These sensors emit infrared light and are triggered when they detect body heat. They identify intruders by comparing the heat of inanimate objects with the heat of anything moving in its field of detection— like a human. Many motion sensors are designed with Pet Immunity to avoid false alarms being triggered by small pets in the home.
Install was performed by subcontractor and done wrong. ADT charged me again to have someone else do it right, still isn't correct. Cars were broken into which had two cameras on them and didn't record any of it. The cameras only record 30 second increments with 2 minutes in between, I'm guessing criminals also know this. Contract end date keeps changing, further and further out. Avoid ADT at all cost. There's much cheaper services out there that actually work.
Iris has quite a few flaws, as you can see below in the list of cons, which is why it isn't higher on the list. But if you're looking for a system that will integrate with tons of other home automation products and smart devices, Iris may be right for you. It comes with both Zigbee and Z-Wave compatibility, so it can be connected to a huge list of devices.
During our tests, we strongly considered home automation options, which allow you to remotely control features of your home, such as lights and door locks. Vivint really impressed us with its seamless automation integration. We loved being able to see who was at the front door directly from the app. But we wanted to figure out what these differences meant on a day-to-day basis: Which features were necessary for improved peace of mind? Which would be easiest to integrate into our daily routines?
Just canceled my alarm monitoring as of 10/29/2018 'cause they were ripping me off at $42 a month! I have an old BHS-4000A alarm system that was installed 10 years ago which can function independently, non monitored, and as a stand alone unit. Found out the hard way that ADT locks down your entire alarm system when you cancel!! I can't even use it as a stand alone alarm!! Even ADT's phone number shows up on the keypad display to call them!! These scumbags at ADT are holding my alarm, that I own, hostage!! It's all over the internet that they do this! 'Security' company my **!! Stay away from this company! They are not in the business to protect you, just their own wallet! Hey ADT, want to change my mind? Unlock my alarm!
I have been with ADT for 4 years now. In the beginning I had some minor issues but things got better fast. I love being able to see what is going on from my phone, we have Z Wave setup so as I drive into the zone area with my phone it triggers the alarm to turn off. I setup my light automation and everything with them all for the same cost of Vivint's base package. Even though it was a slower start, I am one satisfied customer.
I have been a loyal ADT customer for over 20 years. On December 13, 2016, my alarm went off early in the morning. It freaked me out BIG time. Never happened over the 20 years til now, the intruder most likely left before fully coming into my house. I have this alarm system to thank for keeping us safe. I didn't get evidence of the intruder so didn't have anything to pursue with. Glad I kept it over all the dull years to protect me during the one time it was needed.
So I have a ADT Alarm System in my house that was already here when I moved in and recently today the power randomly went out and came back on which I guess rebooted the system. I decided to step outside to see if everything was okay and when I opened my door the alarm went off and was extremely loud.. I held my hand over the speaker to kill most of the sound and decided to call ADT because I didn't know what to do I never had this happen to me before. When I called ADT the guy told me someone can come out tomorrow to take a look at it and stop it from making noise but I had to pay $100. This is for a security system I didn't set up, so I just had my husband unplug everything for now. Going to have the ADT rep still come out and see how much it would be for a new system to be put in. Most people probably don't fall into this situation but hope it helps nonetheless.
While Pulse is certainly much more expensive than a DIY system, like iSmartAlarm Premium or Abode, it offers capabilities those systems simply can't, including 24/7 monitoring and customer support. It's the most complete, full-featured home security system we've tested, and doubles as an automation platform for your other smart home devices. If you can swing the price, ADT definitely lives up to its reputation, and earns our Editors' Choice.
The morning of 3/15 i noticed my ADT app and camera were not working, later after I had gotten home from work I called ADT customer service. After spending 55 minutes troubleshooting with customer service they decided to send a tech out to fix. 3 minutes after i hung up the phone someone kicked in my front door. Yes they did call me and call the police but the camera was no working and I was unable to see what was going on through my phone. The camera would have gotten a video of the criminal. I called ADT and told them what happened they expedited someone to come out and fix the issue. The tech came on 3/16 and after about two hours was unable to fix the issue. I have it on recording where the tech admitted the hardware had failed. It has only been 15 months and the hardware failed. I had to take off today 3/20 for the tech to come back out and fix it, the tech was able to fix it but now my key fob does not work and they have to send a tech out again and i have to take another day off from work. I called the company multiple times and complained that their equipment failed me when i needed them and i wanted to cancel my contract, they told me i would have to pay all termination fees. I should not have to pay fees because they did not hold up their end of the contract i pay extra for the app and camera and it failed me. I do not want money or anything i just want out of my contract. I have to get a lawyer now and get the BBB involved.
Probably my worst experience with any service provider in US. We put the system before relocating to England for a year. Three faulty alarms resulted in huge fees from police and ADT refused to fix it. Now we are moving for good abroad and they want to charge us $300 to cancel the service. My advice – never work with them. Once we are back this is the last company I will be contacting.

Kelso Theater Pub
You are here Home > Restaurants and Bars > Kelso Theater Pub
Reports differ as to when the theater was built, but it was sometime in the early 1900s. The identity of the haunts here is also a mystery, but some speculate it may be former employees, movie-loving former patrons, or even a man who was shot on the street outside many years ago. The theater closed in 1984 and was purchased in 1989 as Kelso Dollar Theater; Kelso Theater Pub was established in 1996. Among the strang things witnesses and ghost hunters say happen here are apparitions, orbs, EVP (electronic voice phenomena), cold spots, footsteps, and something unknown that sets of motion detectors when no one living is there. Apparitions seen include one of an old man in a dark suit, a black cat, two little girls, and a man named Franklin in the balcony.

When I went to the Kelso Theater Pub for a birthday party, it started out really well. We were scaring the bejezus out of the other party guests, (my friend and I) and I stepped backwards. The room was warm, then suddenly it was really cold and dark. I felt really sad and scared, and I ended up almost tripping over the balcony. After that, my friend walked me to the bathroom. I told her to leave because I was scared and crying. She agreed, and walked just outside of the bathroom. After a while, I tried to get out of the bathroom, and the door wouldn't budge. I felt like an idiot because I had forgotten I locked the door. But when I looked, the door wasn't locked in any way! I think I screamed because my friend ran in, and walked me out. The final freaky thing that happened was when I looked in the mirror: There was a man, in the girls bathroom!

Laser hair treatment permanently reduces unwanted hair so you do not have to worry about pain from waxing, the hassle of regrowth, or discomfort from ingrown hairs. Laser hair treatment is perfect for facial hair removal for women. This method is also perfect for back hair removal amongst other areas on the body where hair presence is considered unattractive.
The Laser 'n' Beyond laser hair removal treatment is safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair from any area of the body. Many clients consider laser hair treatment the best and most efficient way to reduce hair growth. This revolutionary process uses medical grade laser that is clinically proven to reduce hair growth without pain or discomfort.
This medical procedure uses laser technology to remove unwanted hair with a beam of light that damages the hair follicle beneath the skin. Any pain or discomfort is offset by a cooling mechanism on the laser treatment device as clients might feel a slight stinging sensation. Treatment of a small area can only take up to fifteen minutes while a large area might take a few hours. After the treatment, you might experience redness and swelling for a few hours but soon your skin will return to normal.
The best laser hair removal results are seen on dark coarse hair since black and brown hair absorb the photons of the laser light more easily. The most effective results occur when their is a stark contrast between the client's skin color and hair color. Laser hair treatment works quickly when an individual has light skin and dark hair. However, the high quality equipment at Laser 'n' Beyond has pre-programmed settings that adjust energy outputs according to various skin and hair colors. This modern technology allows our professionals to tailor a specific treatment that suits your needs.
The laser has a beam that when applied to the skin will search for large areas of follicles and will heat the root, destroying the follicle. The lasers destroy only hair that is in its active growth phase which up to 85% of our hair is in that phase at any given time. The beam only affects the follicles and not the surrounding tissue therefore making this a safe and easy procedure.
Is it permanent hair removal?
Laser will not guarantee permanent hair removal, but if done correctly and enough (normally packages of 6-9 are required) most cases will find that the hair will not grow back or will be reduced by up to 85%, leaving it notably finer, softer and barely visible.
Laser has been proven that it does not penetrate far enough into the skin to cause any cancerous activity or cell mutation. There have been no cases of laser hair removal being linked to cancer. The beam in which comes out of the laser, only targets the hair follicles not surrounding tissue.
The most successful candidate for Laser hair removal is paler skins with darker hair. Olive skins can still have the procedure done if they have darker hair. Anyone that has blonde, red, white or grey hair is more unsuccessful, as laser is attracted to the pigment of the hair (darker being better). Come in for a free consultation and our Laser Technicians will advise you a proper course of action.
6 – 9 sessions are normally required with 6 week intervals for best results; everyone is different so results will vary from person to person.
The skin may swell or redden a little bit after the initial treatment and will go down quite quickly. It is very important to stay out of the sun or sun beds 2 – 4 weeks prior your laser and for 2-4 weeks after laser as the sun can cause pigmentation to the skin if this is ignored. It is very important to listen to the Laser Technicians during the initial consultation.

We are currently working on a sports documentary parody about League of Legends athletes
Players is a new series from American Vandal.
A new mockumentary series called Players will follow the travails of a fictional League of Legends team as it struggles to claim its first world championship after years of failure. There isn't much in the way of detail at this point, but a Variety report says the series will focus on an unlikely pair of players–a 17-year-old phenom and a 27-year-old veteran–who must put aside their differences, and egos, and work together to bring home the gold.
Mockumentaries can be described as documentaries. However, their subject matter is often completely fictional. One popular recent example is the American Vandal series on Netflix, a parody of true-crime documentaries about a guy who draws dicks on cars. Players' creators, Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, will also serve as executive producers.
Riot Games was also involved in the production of this series. The Variety report lists Riot Games as an executive producer, but not individuals. This could give Players an extra layer of authenticity and open the door for LoL teams to take on background roles.
The built-in audience for Players is impressive too: According to Reuters, the total combined viewership of the 2020 League of Legends World Championship was just shy of 50 million. Who knows? It could even be great: Although I wasn't expecting much from Mythic Quest (Rob McElhenney's comedy series about the game studio that makes the most popular MMO in world), it turned out to be quite entertaining and was re-aired for a second season in May.
Players is being developed for Paramount+ and doesn't have a debut date set at this point. Riot has been contacted and I will update this post if I get a response.

Fields seeks to fill gap in menswear market – The Royal Gazette | Bermuda News, Business, Sports, Events, & Community
FEC743AF-6DBE-4FF4-AEFA-8A5CC14A9D82
Fields seeks to fill gap in menswear market
By Scott Neil
Created: Aug 10, 2015 09:00 AM
A menswear store in Hamilton is picking up trade and providing a creative outlet for Janika Fields.
Becoming a shop owner was not her plan when she went overseas to study for a Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree, with a concentration in advertising design and photography.
However, after completing her studies at Savannah College of Art and Design in th US, she returned to the Island and was unable to find a job opportunity in her field of study.
Demonstrating adaptability and pragmatism, Ms Fields ventured into the retail sector with MenCo, on the corner of Reid Street and King Street.
"I'm learning that life doesn't have a blueprint and sometimes you just have to enjoy where it decides to take you," she said.
"My story isn't different from most college students who was given the opportunity to study abroad to further their post-secondary education, but due to the economic climate there is little to no opportunity for you to work in the field you studied.
"As a result of no opportunities being presented to me, I decided to stop waiting around for one and create an opportunity for myself instead."
MenCo opened its doors in November after Ms Fields noticed a gap in the market.
"Most women in Bermuda would complain about the lack of variety in the numerous stores that cater to them, most men complain about the low number of stores that cater to them in general," she said.
Ms Fields discovered that many men were ordering their clothes online as a result of the lack of on-Island options.
She believes MenCo is tapping into that market, and she emphasised that it is important the clothing range and accessories have an exclusive feel.
To achieve this she only orders three or four of each item. The boutique stocks everything from underwear to clothing and accessories. Ms Fields also makes and sells one-of-a-kind men's jewellery.
"The more exclusive the better. That's what makes me stand out the most, not to mention the personalised experience each customer receives when they walk in the door, accompanied with a smile," she said.
MenCo also caters for bigger men, going up to 6X shirts and size 50 pants. The store offers personal styling and shopping, and special ordering.
It is still early days for the shop, but Ms Fields has a positive outlook and confident in the future prospects for MenCo.
"Since I opened in November, I have grown tremendously," she said.
"Although it takes about three years to start seeing real growth in your business I am grateful for the small increase I see week to week, whether it be a new face that walks into the store or having someone come up to me and tell me they are hearing good things about my store."
She is also thankful for the support she has received from her mother, brother and uncle.
"Being a shop owner at 25 is a joy within itself," she said.
"Every day I open my doors there is a feeling of accomplishment that keeps my spirits high, even on bad days.
"It's not easy being 25 and owning something, as it comes with a great deal of responsibility and sacrifice. But I am enjoying it every step of the way."

It took us some time to work out how to fix curtains to the portholes so that the room has privacy at night but the lovely windows aren't hidden. Decided in the end to make some removable curtains from a set of old Venici curtains. During the day they can be hung on hooks on the door or left partially covering the windows and at night can be extended to their full width. Neat.

Taraji P. Henson: Cookie's Style Is Like "Fashion On Crack" [PHOTOS]
Written By: D.L. Hughley
If you get a kick out of watching Cookie act out on Fox's runaway hit "Empire" as the feisty ex-wife of hip-hop mogul Lucious Lyon, just imagine how much fun actress Taraji P. Henson is having playing the character.
Henson, who also starred alongside "Empire" co-star Terrence Howard (Lyon) in award-wining "Hustle & Flow," tells ET Online, Cookie is by far her most favorite character.
Writes ET Online:
"It's like fashion on crack!" Taraji says. "It's high drama, I get to dress up and wear things I can't afford or that I just wouldn't buy because I'm cheap."
And what's best Cookie-look she's rocked so far?
"I think my favorite look from Cookie is this [desiner Azzedine] Alaia cat suit," she admits. "That's one of many." The actress also explained that the wardrobe on the show has helped her to create the character of Cookie and get into her head space. "I literally fall asleep in the [hair and make-up] chair and wake up Cookie," she adds.
Henson also says she enjoys dishing out the character's one-liners:
Besides the fierce fashion and high drama Cookie inflicts, another reason fans just can't get enough is her unfiltered one-liners and sassy comments. While she may come off politically incorrect at times, Taraji explains that's part of Cookie's appeal–she's a woman who speaks her mind. "She's real," the 44-year-old actress says.
"Most humans are so afraid to live in the now and really be their honest self because we're just so busy trying to please other people," Taraji continues. "That's why the audience relates to Cookie– we all wish we could do that and say whatever the hell we were thinking."

The Greater Metro Conference (GMC) has named the following Hamilton High School students Spring 2011-12 Scholar Athletes:
Kara Bednarek – girls soccer;
Jacob Anderson, Daniel Baker, Aaron Beck, Steven Greilinger, Jordan Kind, Alexander Lutze, Cody Neverman, Pratheek Reddy, Clayton Van Der Linden – boys tennis;
Matthew Foster, Brandon Hagenow, Nicholas Patterson, Michael Spankowski – boys track;

Coaches nominate student-athletes who:
earned a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average;
participated in at least 75 percent of the team's varsity matches; and
have at least sophomore standing.
These student-athletes serve as a great example to others demonstrating combined academic and athletic success.
Hamilton School Board members recognized Templeton Middle School social studies teacher Rhonda Watton at their August meeting for being chosen a 2012 recipient of the Distinguished Teacher Award from the National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE). The award recognizes those who have made extraordinary contributions to the teaching and learning of geography in the classroom. A panel of NCGE reviewers chose Watton for national recognition for her professional dedication and skill.
The award will be presented in October during the National Conference on Geographic Education in San Marcos, Texas.
School Board President Gabe Kolesari congratulates Watton for receiving a national award.
Families can apply for free, reduced lunches
The Hamilton School District announced its policy for children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, or milk served under the Special Milk Program. Each school office and the district office have copies of the policy for those who are interested.
Household size and income criteria determine eligibility. Children from families whose annual income is at or below the established levels are eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk if a split-session student does not have access to the school lunch or breakfast service.
Annual income maximum for free lunch or milk
Household size — income maximum
1 — $14,521
For each additional household member, add $5,148.
Annual income range for reduced lunch or milk
Household size — income range
1 — $14,521.01 and $20,665
For each additional household member, add $5,148 to $7,326 to range.
Monthly income maximum for free lunch or milk
1 — $1,211
For each additional household member, add $429.
Monthly income range for reduced lunch or milk
1 — $1,211.01 and $1,723
For each additional household member, add $429 to $611 to range.
Application forms are being sent to all homes with a notice to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals or free milk, households must fill out the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available in the principal's office in each school. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year.
If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes and the household income falls at or below the levels shown above, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make households eligible for reduced price meals or free meals or milk, and they may reapply at that time.
In certain cases, foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a household has foster children and wishes to apply for free or reduced price meals, the household should complete an application for a family of one or contact the school for more information.
The information provided by the household on the application is confidential. Under this program, no child will be discriminated against because of race, color, sex, national origin, age or disability.

Hamilton schools plan for start of classes
Posted on August 8, 2012 by Hamilton School District
Hamilton School District students will begin classes Sept. 4. The district has compiled information to assist parents and students in preparation for the big day.
Registration — People who are new to the district may register their children at the school they will attend. Call the individual schools to learn their office hours. School phone numbers are:
• Willow Springs Learning Center (4-year-old kindergarten), (262) 255-6190;
• Lannon Elementary, (262) 255-6106;
• Maple Avenue Elementary, (262) 246-4220;
• Marcy Elementary, (262) 781-8283;
• Woodside Elementary, (262) 820-1530;
• Templeton Middle, (262) 246-6477; and
• Hamilton High, (262) 246-6471.
If you are unsure of your school attendance area, call the district's Public Information Office at (262) 246-1973 x1100.
Kindergarten — The district offers kindergarten programs for students who are four and five years old. The program for 4-year-olds is at Willow Spring Learning Center, and the program for 5-year-olds is at neighborhood elementary schools.
To be eligible for the optional 4-year-old kindergarten (4K) program, a child must be four years old by Sept. 1. The program runs a half day — an 8:45 – 11:15 a.m. morning session and 12:45 – 3:15 p.m. afternoon session. Willow Springs Learning Center will have a brief 4K bus orientation Aug. 30 at 5:30 p.m. for morning kindergartners and at 6:15 p.m. for afternoon kindergartners to familiarize them with riding the bus. School buses will pick up 4K students and parents at their elementary school (Lannon, Maple Avenue, Marcy or Woodside) and travel to Willow Springs. Classes at Willow Springs begin Sept. 7. The school will hold Jump Start to 4K family conferences Sept. 4, 5 and 6 with students and parents.
Each elementary school offers a kindergarten program for children who turn five years old by Sept. 1. Most 5-year-olds participate in the full-day program that follows the same schedule as elementary grade school students. Some parents choose to enroll their 5-year-old in kindergarten for only the morning half of the school day.
Transportation — The bus company sends yellow postcards notifying bus riders of their routes. Postcards will be mailed the week of Aug. 27.
Breaks and last school day — Students will not have classes: break – Oct. 26; parent-teacher conferences – Nov. 21; Thanksgiving break – Nov. 22-23; winter break – Dec. 24-Jan. 1; staff in-services – Jan. 18, Feb. 28 and March 1; spring break – March 29-April 5; break – May 24 and Memorial Day – May 27. Their last day of school is June 11.
School hours — Elementary school students in grades 1-5 and full-day kindergarten begin school at 8:35 a.m. and end at 3:25 p.m.; Templeton hours are 7:25 a.m. to 2:35 p.m.; and the high school runs from 7:20 a.m. to 2:25 p.m.
Immunization — Wisconsin law requires parents to provide updated records on their children's immunizations including DTP, MMR and polio. The Hepatitis B (Hep B) and varicella vaccines are required for all students pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Two different vaccine requirements were added in recent years to the Wisconsin Student Immunization law. The changes began in 2008-09 and will be phased in for all students over the next several years. For the 2012-13 school year, students entering grades 6, 9 and 12 are required to have one dose of the tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertusis (Tdap) vaccine. Students entering 5-year-old kindergarten and grades 6 and 12 are required to have two doses of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.
School lunch program — Hamilton food service staff members are committed to producing quality meals that are nutritious and appealing to children. Lunches consist of five food items — meat, bread, two or more servings of fruit or vegetables, and milk. To reduce waste, children are offered an entire lunch but may refuse one or two items. The price for lunch remains the same whether a child takes the entire lunch or refuses an item.
Lunch menus will be listed in school newsletters, local newspapers and on the district website. Parents are asked to go over the lunch menu with their children to help them decide what to eat each day. Children should be encouraged to take at least a portion of an unfamiliar or unpopular food item.
Lunch prices for 2012-13 are: $2.35 for elementary students; $2.75 – middle school and high school students; $3.50 – adults; and 30 cents for milk.
Fees —
The following are fees for the 2012-13 school year:
Pre-kindergarten and half-day kindergarten — $19;
Elementary grades, full-day kindergarten and ungraded — $55;
Middle school — $65;

Student's award brings resources to high school
Not only did Uma Avinash's talent and hard work reward her with a scholarship for her future studies, but her success has benefited her high school as well. As a recipient of the 2012 GE STAR Award, Avinash was able to nominate a high school teacher to receive a one-time $500 financial award for school purposes. Avinash named Hamilton High School mathematics teacher Steve Akin.
A 2012 Hamilton graduate, Avinash earned the GE STAR Scholarship last spring. She was chosen through a competitive selection process to defray expenses of higher education. The GE STAR Award, provided by the GE Foundation, is administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE), an independent international non–profit educational organization.

"The standard of the paper was fine."
"No moans about the balance, or about questions so hard that no-one can answer them. A jolly good quiz and a credit to the setter(s). The Union Jack City was a good question that none of us could answer. Similar kinds of questions could be set about Washington DC and Karlsruhe."
There were themes and pairs all around - some explicit and others more irritatingly hidden.
They served up their usual offbeat mixture with: some very well crafted mugshots of pairs of famous faces melded together: a crossword round that almost (but not quite) kept a cricket theme running throughout; some explicitly themed rounds on geography, music, indoor pursuits, and sports; and an implicitly themed round on weights and measures.
Bingo Quiz this week. There were plenty of 'Well I never!' moments - always a sign of a good quiz - but also the occasional stinker (Q70: 'What cheese is made in reverse?').
Wednesday being St Paddy's day the theme was widely anticipated. Every question or answer had either a 'saint' or a 'pat' reference. The intensity of the theme diminished as the paper unfolded. So, in round one we started off with 'Saint Patrick' full on; by the end we were onto 'PAThogenic'.
The setters certainly avoided the trap of getting bogged down in Ireland for 64 questions. It was happily possible for the setters to stick fairly to General Knowledge questions whilst keeping to the constraints they had set themselves.
Reactions were mixed. Some found the theme wearing towards the end, whilst others commented favourably.
It was a high-scoring and popular bingo-style quiz rivalling Gerry's excellent efforts when he acted as Guest setter at the end of the first half of the season.
It seemed to carry the usual whimsical touch that the Brains always bring to their papers with quite a few "Well I never knew that!" moments. The one about ancient Didsbury (Question 65) was a purler (although I suspect that certain QMs found it infuriatingly long-winded).


Organization's email system plays a very important role when it comes to supporting internal and external communication. One cannot think of running business operations without having a comprehensive and secure email system in place. Email system can be think of as life blood of firm's communication channel. In recent days, email system plays even an additional role of being a storehouse of the critical data that is very important for business continuity. And when it comes to email system, Microsoft Exchange is the best bate for the IT administrators and decision makers. At least this is what the recent surveys have to say. A recent survey conducted by Microsoft reveals that around seventy percent of organizations in some of the developed countries with more than five hundred installed desktops are using MS Exchange as their email system. Even in small organizations, MS Exchange seems to be the first choice of Admins when it comes to email system deployment. But, just having MS Exchange as email system doesn't solve the entire problem. These servers need to be consistently monitored, their usage studied, Content, Growth and Traffic analyzed in detail. As then only Exchange environment can be understood in detail and a safe and secure communication process can be ensured.
- Tracking email system usage for each department individually and collectively helps to have a clear view about the requirement of each department and cost calculation.
- It provides a basis to analyze sudden changes in mailbox traffic volume and also prevent email abuse in organization by providing automated mailbox traffic reports.
- Thorough reporting can provide insights into the Exchange performance issues. This can give important inputs for the performance improvements measures.
- Exchange server reporting helps to find trends that can be helpful in generating forecast of the future requirements based on current usage and thus help in future planning.
- Server utilization reports help in studying traffic patterns to design efficient communication system which prevents under utilization and over utilization of Exchange servers.
- OWA access and usage reports ensure it is as per organization's policy and does not pose any threat to the system.
- Staying complaint to internal and external regulations and standards is a necessity and is very difficult without extensive reporting of Exchange servers.
Exchange server reporting being a highly intricate job, default reporting options like scripting is very difficult to execute even for seasoned Admins. Time and effort required for such methods make them inefficient and also fail to meet administrators' requirement in the context of compliance, analysis, investigation and forecasting. To meet these shortcomings a number of professional tools are available in the market, however, any tool to be deployed for this purpose must offer a very simple and user-friendly approach to meet all the requirements. Admins quite often remain preoccupied with more urgent tasks; reporting being a routine affair is usually handled by other users. Hence, before choosing any professional software, must ensure that it is easy to handle and even delegated users can work on it without any issue. Also, professional solution must make certain that generated reports are available to all the stakeholders who might not have access to Exchange servers. This is usually ensured by report scheduling feature which offers the required reports in requisite format even on the move. Tool like Lepide Exchange Reporter can meet all the aforementioned requirements of exchange server reporting.
Considering the importance of Exchange servers in ensuring business communication and the kind of critical data that they carry, their safety and security cannot be left to chance and an advance Exchange server reporting solution must be a top priority for all Exchange administrators.
Author's Bio: Steve is a technology reviewer and has deep interest in exploring various new technical topics related to network and server management.


Maybe the PKGBUILD needs to say geoclue2 replaces geoclue ?
I can only guess that geoclue was installed in the past as an optional dependancy or for a aur build, prior to switching over to arch32.
This does appear to be an upgrade of geoclue2, in that it was already installed alongside 'geoclue' apparently. So the name of the binary target has changed I guess. If this was intentional, then it now conflicts with geoclue so that should ideally be listed I believe, but maybe its changing name was an error?
I'm not sure, what the reasons are.


Amazon Trees Get Their Own Telephones?
In a bid to stop rainforest deforestation, trees in Brazil's mighty Amazon are being kitted out with special mobile phones so that they can 'ring for assistance' if they're cut down! This incredible move has been launched in a bid to help the local authorities to deal with illegal logging as soon as it starts to occur.
The system is called the Invisible Tracck and it's purposefully small and discreet; just the size of a cigarette packet and fuelled by a basic battery cell. This allows it to be stored in the tree's branches and it activates itself automatically if it registers a falling motion from felling. At this point, the system waits to pick up a mobile signal – which it is capable of picking up from as far as twenty miles away – and when the connection is made, it registers an automatic call for aid, triggering a swoop from the rainforest authorities.
The radio module box uses BGS2 technology and was developed locally in Brazil by an organisation called Cargo Tracck, which have a primary market in vehicle and truck tracking. Now, the firm's staff are turning their talents towards efforts to prevent rainforest deforestation instead.
The innovative Invisible Tracck should be able to run itself for up to a year before it needs a battery change. Although the forest itself is generally short of reliable phone network coverage, there are plenty of towns arising around the saw mills and these generally bring good connectivity with them. The authorities hope that even the threat of these devices will help to prevent rainforest deforestation and give illegal loggers pause to think about what they are doing, the damage they are causing and the repercussions if they do find themselves at the centre of a logging raid.
Campaigners against rainforest destruction can afford a brief moment of satisfaction thanks to recent satellite images released in November. The photos of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest showed that its destruction had slowed to the lowest level since the monitoring work began. The satellite showed that between August 2011 to July 2012, just under 1800 square miles in the Amazon were destroyed, according to the Brazilian Government's environment minister, Izabella Teixeira.
Brazil has announced that it will be setting up a special environmental task force to combat the soaring problem of illegal rainforest deforestation in the Amazon. The new unit is going to be conducting regular and permanent checks and surveillance of the dwindling Amazon rainforest, where illegal deforestation activities have grown 220% in the last month alone, compared to the previous year.
The new task force will have backing from a range of government bodies, including the army and federal police, along with the police unit of Brazil's Environment Institution, the IBAMA. The authorities plan to focus their surveillance operations on the problematic dry season, which tends to see a rise in secret logging. Brazil's Environmental Minister explained that the criminals involved in environmental crimes were becoming more sophisticated, meaning that the government had to response with more modern ways of carrying out surveillance and rainforest protection activities.
The figures are worrying too, with logging covering an area of over 210 square miles recorded in August, which was an exponential rise on the previous year's figures. The drivers combining to encourage this illicit logging activity are thought to be drought, land grabs and the pressure of international soybean and other commodity prices. Land-grabs by settlers are being seen far more frequently along the Amazon's nearby Trans-Amazonian road, which is being newly asphalted and ripe for nearby aligned economic development.
The problem isn't simply Brazil's but 60% of the vast Amazon – the world's largest rainforest – is located within its borders. The problems with illegal deforestation to date have made this huge country one of the globe's worst offenders for greenhouse gas emissions, but the government is now committed to curbing illegal rainforest deforestation and has made great strides towards achieving this. Meanwhile, the pressure of the international community remains strong, as observers wait to see how effective these latest measures are.
More Reasons to Save the Rainforest – Rainfall!
Researchers have discovered that rainforest deforestation leads to dramatically reduced rainfall in the areas affected, with predictions that rain could decrease by 21% in the Amazon Basin alone by 2050 if current deforestation rates continue.
The scientists working on the project found that air passing over forest vegetation naturally produces twice the amount of rain than air passing over sparser ground. In some recorded cases, rainfall many thousands of miles away was being linked to the rainforests. The implications suggest that a failure to protect the rainforest and to continue logging and destruction activities will seriously reduce the amount of rainfall in both the surrounding areas and further afield.
The study suggested that the Congo and Amazon rainforests could be amongst the most affected, with severe consequences for communities living in the surrounding regions.
Scientists have been debating whether vegetation leads to increased rainfall for many years, with unclear results between the link of quantity of rain and its geographic reach. These results will show conclusively that rainforest preservation projects must be prioritised by governments and corporations alike.
The leading researcher on the project, Dr Spracklen, pointed to the positive efforts by the Brazilian government to slow down the rates of historically high deforestation throughout the Amazon, adding that the results of his team's study showed that such efforts must continue. Certainly, rainforests once covered around 14% of the earth's surface and now they cover just 6%, with 1.5 acres being lost each second to logging companies. There is certainly plenty of scope for improvement and projects such as these provide activists and decision-makers with plenty of compelling evidence to push for positive changes, to preserve our planet's future. We're pleased to hear that the results of these studies will help to further the cause of rainforest protection and encourage further efforts to save the rainforest.

Home 100 Years Ago
A bill aimed to stop the importation of intoxicating liquor into the State was introduced in the West Virginia Senate and House of Delegates. The bill would make it a misdemeanor for any person to bring into the State more than one quart of intoxicating liquor during a period of thirty days.
High School girls of Wheeling are to be taught housekeeping through actual experience. The city board of education has purchased a house which will be used as a laboratory for the home economics classes. Meals will be served by the girls, beds made and the house taken care of as though it were a real home.
CAVE CAVERNA! A MOMENTOUS DISCLOSURE CONCERNING A MIGHTY CAVERN
We hardly know what is our duty in the premises in putting the quietus on the reports of a mammoth cave in the Big Spring neighborhood. We were following the rule of the tribe that has lasted unbroken through two generations. It was not for us to change it. It was approved and supported by ancient wisdom. But time covers and uncovers. Some of our most substantial citizens are not satisfied with the course we took in denying that there was a big cave with the entrance in Pocahontas county. Ever since we can remember the subject has been tabooed. The terrors of his underground world have been such that men's lips have been sealed and it has been considered bad luck even to mention it. That cavern so impressed itself upon the imagination of man that its secret has been kept automatically from the world at large.
There is no man living at this time perhaps who joined in the partial exploring of the cave some sixty years ago. We know one man who has been as far as the lobby or rotunda of the cave and who immediately came away from that place with enough terror in him to last him a lifetime. If it is as it was in 1890 when we taught school in that neighborhood, the explorer will find that it is not only impossible to get any of these hardy mountaineers to go with him under the earth, but that they will not even talk to him about it. It lays such a horror on all who have ever been in the cave that they refuse to discuss it. This dread of the big cave is bred in the bone. It is bad luck to talk about it.
Tradition says that on 4th of July, some sixty years ago, a band of men took candles and went in to the cave and spent the day there and barely made their way out. They speedily became lost and one man tired out and overcome was left sitting on the ground of the cave, bemoaning his fate on account of his wife and children. He spent two days in the cave and came out with a tale to curdle the blood and to addle the brain.
The entrance is small and is near the famous Split Rock through which Elk river has cut its way. The way is difficult at first as there is only room to crawl, but after a time this tunnel leads into a big round room. The roof of this room is so high that no one can throw a stone far enough to strike it and in extent the best description is that there is room enough in it to herd a thousand cattle, say two acres floor space. From this room a number of passages lead in different directions, and the general direction is northwest, which coincides with the dip of the strata. It is in this room that fear grips the man. If it was in truth the realm of departed spirits, a more deadly qualm could not come over him. Cold sweat, abject fear, consternation, panic and a mortal trepidation seize upon him and he beats a hasty retreat to the light.
So far as we know there has been no one with the courage to go on into the dreadful depths of the cavern except the party referred to above. They are said to have found a river as large as the Greenbrier flowing in one large passage and it is not hard to walk along the shingle of this stream. The general direction of its flow was northwest, and its fall was very considerable so that the explorers found themselves getting deep into the earth after going some distance.
The farther they went, the worse they were affected by the unexplainable terror of the cavern and it was this feeling that caused one of the party to give up and the rest to retreat precipitately and leave him.
When he got out two days afterwards it was as though he arose from the dead and from that day to this, the big cavern is a subject that men do not talk about. What men may dare they dare, but any shape but that.
We do not give any names in account. That is not necessary for many men know of the thing after a fashion, and if any skeptic desires to go to the bottomless pit before he dies, we will take him to the entrance that leads to the abyss, and hold his jewels and other possessions and convey his last words to his people.
The best that we can learn about the extent of the cavern it is so large that a county could get lost in it. And, beside it, the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky would look like a hall bedroom.
Our advice to all and sundry is to leave it alone for this is one place that hell comes close to the top of the ground.
DURBIN
C. C. Burner, one of the oldest citizens of this community, died on January 27, 1917… A large congregation gathered at the church. Interment at the Bartow graveyard. He is survived by his widow, two sons and two daughters.
Sunday evening our town was shocked by the sudden death of C. P. Wimer, which occurred about nine o'clock. He was about 40 years old, and leaves a widow and five small children.
On Thursday last, we were surprised when Wilkie Collins came in from Cumberland with a young lady along with him. The next day the bride and groom went to housekeeping in Durbin.
We are pleased to read J. D. Wilmoth's letters in the paper. We had a card from J. D. and wife, saying that they were having the time of their lives. We wish them all the happiness they can find.
GREENBANK
The Arbovale Telephone Company had a meeting at Arbovale last Saturday and they had a blow out, but no one was hurt. When the switch board is moved to Greenbank, and Gov. Hatfield or someone for the Dunmore correspondent moves the State Capital here, the goose will soar higher than ever.
The next improvement here will be a nice dormitory to accommodate all who may wish to board near the school building. The town people will, at the proper time, get ready for boarders who wish to attend school.
Morgan Curry moved to the Dave Smith farm below Dunmore last week; Greenbank's loss will be Dunmore's gain.
MISS MARY LILLIAN RUCKMAN
Miss Mary Lillian Ruckman passed quietly away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Renick Ruckman, January 22, 1917, on the 30th anniversary of her birth. After services conducted at the home by Rev. J. C. Johnson, she was laid to rest in the Ruckman graveyard.
Thus ended a long but losing battle with the enemy of so many thousands of the human race, the "white plague." For five years she fought bravely and patiently for strength and health, one year being spent at a sanatorium in New York and one year at Terra Alta. At times she hoped for an extension of years but at last realized that the struggle was hopeless. About six months ago she came home to spend the last days under the parental roof-tree. From that time forth it was a patient, submissive waiting for the final summons…
MRS. SUSAN V. SMITH
Mrs. Susan V. Smith, wife of A. J. Smith, died January 25, 1917, aged 73 years and four months, after a very long and serious illness which she endured with christian patience.
She was a daughter of John Kellison, whose home was in the lower end of Pocahontas county, and she was married to A. M. Smith April 20, 1864. She was the mother of eight children, seven of whom are still living to mourn her death…
Miss Mabel E. Gay, of Clarksburg, delivered the following eulogy which was highly appreciated by the large crowd of persons present at the home:
It should not be with a feeling of sorrow that we are gathered here today and I want to say a few words in appreciation of what Mrs. Smith has done for our own particular family. Whatever I may say of truth concerning Mrs. Smith's kindness to our family, I am sure will be true in the case of others gathered here.
I am the youngest of six children, and Mrs. Smith was present at the birth of five of us. Hers was the willing hand that cared for us when our own mother was not able. The night was never too stormy, or the duties of her own household too urgent to keep her from the bedside of those who were sick or in need…
No greater tribute can be paid to the memory of a good woman than that portrayed in the words of the wise man who said: "Her children shall rise up and call her blessed…"

You need to feel happy with the company you have chosen. Can references be provided from previous clients? Is the company fully insured? How do they keep track of all their clients to make sure no-one has forgotten you? You should feel comfortable being able to answer these sorts of questions.
When choosing a pet sitting service, consider what sort of service is important to you. Feeding and playing with cats and smaller pets, as well as walking for dogs, are part of the standard service for any pet sitting business. But are extras included such as poop scooping your garden, security checking your home, bringing in your mail, putting out your bins and watering your plants?
Do you get to meet the carer beforehand? Are the carers all thoroughly reference and police checked? You need to feel comfortable with your carer and see how they interact with your pets. You should be confident that your carer is trustworthy, reliable and a true animal lover.
Back up carers should always be available in the unexpected case of your carer falling ill or being otherwise incapacitated.
Does the company provide a pet tagging system, so if your pet escapes while you're away someone can act on your behalf when he or she is found?
Dog owners should also consider whether they want their dog individually walked. Some businesses walk dogs off the lead in large groups while others will only walk one client's dogs at a time.
If you are happy with your choice of pet sitting service, next time it will just take a phone call to organise your pet care - one less thing to worry about while you prepare for your trip!


BELMONT — Bob Hunter missed his calling in life: He could have taken the thousands of trivia questions he's written, put them on little cards and invented one of the most popular board games ever made — Trivial Pursuit.
Instead, he invented the most popular high school trivia hunt on the Peninsula.
Thirty-nine years ago, Hunter, who was then a history teacher at Carlmont High School, started the Millard Fillmore Trivia Hunt — a weekend-long event that keeps students from Peninsula high schools up into the wee hours searching for answers.
But Monday night, at the judging for this year's hunt, the 73-year-old Menlo Park resident announced that next year will be his last as huntmaster.
He said he's going to miss the kids the most.
"This has given me an opportunity to work with some neat kids who are going to be newspaper people, doctors and lawyers," he said.
Hunter usually gets ideas for the questions throughout the year from various places, but he also has hundreds of trivia books that he can pull from as well.
"I could be reading a magazine, and I'll say, 'Oh, there's a good question for Millard' and I tear it out and save it," he said.
When he was a teacher he would ask librarians what part of the reference section students never look at — and search for answers there.
Some questions this year included: Provide the name of the longest running non-musical play in Broadway or off-Broadway history (answer: "Perfect Crime); and provide the name of the well-known U.S. tabloid that began as a thoroughbred horse-racing tip sheet (answer: The National Enquirer).
Even the name of the hunt, "Millard Fillmore," could be turned into a number of different trivia questions. Hunter said Millard Fillmore became the 13th U.S. president when President Zachary Taylor died after drinking milk and eating cherries. For many yearsafter this incident, people would not combine cherries with dairy, for fear they would die like Taylor.
On Monday night, Castilleja High School, an all-girls private school in Palo Alto, won for the second year in a row with 487 points out of 500. Carlmont took second place with 473 points. The other schools competing were Woodside High, Palo Alto High and Gunn High, also in Palo Alto.
Castilleja's success was all about being organized, said senior Sol Hilfinger-Pardo, 17.
Some of the Carlmont team members were frustrated with some of the questions, because they felt some of Hunter's answers could be wrong.
For example, Hunter asked teams to identify the representative who provided the 218th vote for Nancy Pelosi to become Speaker of the House. The answer he gave was Nydia Velasquez of New York's 12th district.
But team captain Dawn Ling, 17, said they may have proof that this is wrong — but their source could not be used under the trivia hunt rules.
Nonetheless, Ling said she loves competing in the trivia hunt.
"It really brings together the school," she said.
It was Woodside High junior Allison McElwee's first year participating in the trivia hunt, and she hopes to do it again next year.

I Just Killed My Dad Review
shonaharding August 23, 2022 Leave a Comment
Documentaries like this are interesting because they always cause a battle between your head and your heart, yes this boy killed a person but the person he killed was his abuser and kidnapper, so where do you really stand?
Anthony was a young boy who lived with his father who one day, in a moment of fear, decides to shoot his dad and kill him. Immediately after this he calls 911 and is arrested. The issue we have throughout this case is that Anthony talks of abuse from his father yet at the moment of him killing the man there were no signs of abuse on his body, and it is known that more than one shot was fired from the gun that was used to kill his father, so it seems it was more of an emotional attack than a self defence one.
However things change when it turns out that Anthony was actually kidnapped by his father from his mother and was controlled to ridiculous feats to make sure that Anthony would keep in line with him. It is known that his mother was abused by his father for many years and Anthony was homeschooled by his father because he didn't want him going out and telling people what was really happening. It seems that he thought the only way out was to kill his dad however in the justice system that's not okay, and it really blurs the line between whether Anthony is a murderer or not.
Personally I see it as manslaughter because I don't think Anthony should be tried for murder due to the fact that he was being controlled and abused so harshly by a man that was meant to love him. You can see that Anthony saw no other way out, he knew the only way that he could get away from his dad was killing him and it's horrific to have to put yourself in that situation and think that's your only way out, otherwise it's never going to end. Of course I believe Anthony does deserve to be punished, you can't just go on thinking that to get out of a bad situation you just kill the other person and that's okay because it's not, but at the same time I think there's so much depth to his dad being an abuser that if you were put in that situation you would probably do the same too.
It's a really interesting documentary that I nearly gave up with in the first half of the first episode because it was so slow. Watching it for the first half you think, okay he's killed his dad, he's a murderer, case closed and they leave until the last minute of the first episode to talk about how his father was also his kidnapper. If they had led with that instead of leaving it until the last moment then people may have been more invested. I understand it's a tactic to make you want to continue to watch to episode two and then ultimately episode three because you're already so invested, but for me, I nearly gave up because I just didn't care. There didn't seem to be a lot of depth in the story, it was a cut and dry, a kid killed his Dad and that's it. So if they led with the kidnapping or the abuse then maybe I would've been more invested. So while I'm glad I watched it, in some ways I do feel I could've fallen off early, because it was quite underwhelming to start.
However if you enjoy true crime shows and if you enjoy looking at the law and the morals and the grey areas of it all then this is a really interesting documentary. It definitely shows you a different side of the law where, yes a man is now dead, but is the person who shot him really a murderer? It causes you to have a battle within yourself of what you would do if you were part of the jury and how you would come to terms with knowing that, yes this boy is a murderer, but is he really going to do it again when the situation that he was in to cause him to kill was so extreme?

Trainwreck: Woodstock 99 Review
Terror at the Mall Review


"Mama" opened well above expectations with a box-office topping $28.1 million for Universal Pictures, according to studio estimates Sunday. Chastain also held the second spot with "Zero Dark Thirty," for which she's nominated by the Academy Awards for best actress. In its second week of wide release, "Zero Dark Thirty" took in $17.6 million.
The films' strong performances had the remarkable effect of making Chastain an unlikely box-office queen out of a chameleon-like actress that even fans of "Mama" might have trouble picking out of a lineup. Chastain, whose credits range from Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life" to "The Help" (for which she was also Oscar nominated), even accomplished the rare feat by besting a couple of more traditional box-office stalwarts.
Schwarzenegger's post-governorship comeback got off to a terrible start. His action flick "The Last Stand" opened with just $6.3 million for Lionsgate, one of the worst debuts for the brawny 65-year-old star. The film came in 10th.
Though Schwarzenegger co-starred in "The Expendables 2," which opened with $28.6 million in August, "The Last Stand" is his first proper starring vehicle since exiting the California governor's seat in January 2011.
The Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe-led New York crime film "Broken City" didn't fare much better. The Fox release premiered with $9.1 million.
Instead, audiences flocked to the PG-13-rated "Mama," which bore the imprimatur of the well-respected fantasy-spinner Guillermo Del Toro, a producer.
"Never underestimate the drawing power of a PG-13 horror film," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com.
Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal Pictures, acknowledged the apparently limitless appetite for such a film, if done right: "That's why we did it," she said.
With Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, Hollywood will get a virtual four-day weekend at the box office. Universal is predicting "Mama" to finish with $33.2 million by the end of Monday.
"It's an incredibly competitive marketplace for testosterone-driven films," said Dergarabedian.
The Weinstein Co.'s "Silver Linings Playbook," nominated for eight Academy Awards including best picture, expanded to its largest number of theaters in its 10th week of release. Playing in 2,523 theaters, a jump of 1,713 theaters, the David O. Russell film took in $11.4 million on the weekend — the same in which its star Jennifer Lawrence hosted "Saturday Night Live" — for a cumulative of $55.3 million.
Also nominated for best picture, Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," in its fourth week became the director's biggest box-office hit. It surpassed his previous film, "Inglourious Basterds," by adding $8.2 million for a domestic total of $138.4 million.
2. "Zero Dark Thirty," $17.6 million.
3. "Silver Linings Playbook," $11.4 million.
4. "Gangster Squad," $9.1 million.
5. "Broken City," $9 million.
6. "A Haunted House," $8.3 million.
7. "Django Unchained," $8.2 million.
8. "Les Miserables," $7.8 million.
9. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," $6.4 million.
10. "The Last Stand," $6.3 million.


Unlike most textbook grammars (which never get this deep into grammar), in "He saw himself plunging," KISS considers "himself plunging" a noun absolute that functions as a direct object. (He did not just see himself, he saw "himself plunging." For more on this see "Noun Absolutes as Nouns" in KISS Level 5.8.) This passage is particularly interesting in this respect because "plunging" is followed by "climbing . . . and standing," "eating," and "driving," each preceded by a semicolon. Should we not consider all of these part of one long noun absolute? If not, why not? Is there a simpler explanation?
Note also the basic, but highly varied, parallel construction. Each direct object is an "-ing" verb form, and each is modified in some way by an adverbial clause or by a noun clause that functions as the object of a preposition in an adverbial prepositional phrase.
Notes 1. See the note above.
2. "Ears loud" is the core of an ellipsed noun absolute ("ears *being* loud") that functions as an adverb to "plunging."
3. This is an interesting personification of the landscape of Portland that adds to the somber and solitary tone of the description.
4. "Figure" is an appositive to the ellipsed "himself" that forms part of the noun absolute "himself . . . climbing."
5. Perhaps this normal in Britain, but to me, "eating . . . tea" adds to the discordant tone of the passage. There is an underlying irony in Dalgliesh's seeing these early pictures as "gentle."


Getting books into readers' hands requires a distributor, who serves as the point person between authors, publishing houses and retail outlets. The type of business you run depends on your approach. A distributor may focus on discounting new titles from publishers, or selling a mixture of damaged, overstocked and out-of-print items. The growing popularity of online books also allows independent authors to function as their own distributor, if they desire.
Watch operating costs carefully, since the average wholesale distributor needs two to five years before he becomes profitable, "Entrepreneur" magazine states. Figure out how much you'll pay for necessities such as Internet connection fees, fax machines, phones and personal computers. Also, unless you only work from home, you'll need an office or warehouse to store your products, which means researching spaces and leasing fee agreements. Similarly, you'll need to establish working relations with one or more shippers, since mailing costs will be another big part of your business.

Morgan Wallen suspended from label after singer used racial slur
Los Angeles Published: Feb 04, 2021, 12:14 PM(IST)
Morgan Photograph:( Instagram )
Wallen, whose new track `Dangerous: The Double Album` is about to have a fourth week at the top of the charts, saw his music yanked from major radio networks and streaming service playlists within hours of the video being published on TMZ on Tuesday night.
American singer Morgan Wallen is facing swift consequences after a video surfaced of the singer using a racial slur. Following the incident, Wallen`s record label Big Loud Records suspended his contract indefinitely.
As per Variety, Wallen`s record label Big Loud, which releases his music jointly with Republic Records, announced on Wednesday that the singer`s recording contract is being suspended "indefinitely."Big Loud Records said in the statement, "In the wake of recent events, Big Loud Records has made the decision to suspend Morgan Wallen`s contract indefinitely."Republic Records, which he is co-signed to, said it "fully supports Big Loud`s decision and agrees such behavior will not be tolerated."
Wallen, whose new track `Dangerous: The Double Album` is about to have a fourth week at the top of the charts, saw his music yanked from major radio networks and streaming service playlists within hours of the video being published on TMZ on Tuesday night. Cumulus, which is powerful in the country radio sphere, sent out a directive to the program directors of all of its 400-plus stations with the header "MORGAN WALLEN -- EXTREMELY IMPORTANT."
The message read, "Team, unfortunately, country music star Morgan Wallen was captured on video Sunday evening using a racial slur. Effective immediately we request that all of Morgan Wallen`s music be removed from our playlists without exception. More to follow."Radio giants like iHeartMedia and Entercom soon followed suit, as did the country music television network CMT. His music has been pulled from the satellite service SiriusXM and the streaming service Pandora, as well as being removed from any visible spots on Spotify and Apple Music.
'SNL' drops Morgan Wallen from its line up after singer violates COVID-19 protocols
The video reportedly recorded by Wallen`s neighbors, shows him yelling profanities after a night out in Nashville, including the N-word. Wallen issued a statement on Tuesday night after TMZ first reported the incident, saying, "I am embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better."
However, some fans pointed out that Wallen appeared to be using the term as a "term of endearment" among friends and not as an invective. Wallen has a history of having used the N-word on social media, quoting rap lyrics. In 2012, he tweeted a lyric by rapper Meek Mill, "I burn bread I ain`t talkin toast n---." (That tweet was deleted from Wallen`s account on Wednesday morning.)The move follows a similar one involving singer Marilyn Manson earlier this week, where Loma Vista Records, which distributed his last three albums, announced that it has parted ways with the artist. In 2019, Sony Music dropped R Kelly after multiple allegations of sexual assault and abuse against the singer.

Disney World To Unveil New Star Wars Based Theme Park Costing $1 Billion
By Ishita Chatterjee April 25, 2019No Comments
The Star Wars franchise has always delivered for Disney at the box office. Now; with a new movie on the horizon, Disney World is almost ready to unveil its billion dollar Star Wars based theme park.
Disney World To Unveil New Star Wars Based Theme Park
The new theme park is called Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and it is set across. 14 acres in Disney World's Hollywood Studios in Orlando. It's slated to open its doors on August 29, but in the mean time a near identical park will open up at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, on 31st May.
Aerial photos of construction of the star wars theme park
The new Star Wars park is said to cost a whopping $1 billion dollars and from the looks of the newly released aerial shots, Disney certainly isn't skimping on the project.
Also Read: Netflix Stock Falls After Disney+ Presentation
It is being said that Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will be mostly based on planet Batuu, and will be a 'fully immersive' experience, as staff will be the planet's residents, dressed as bounty hunter, smugglers and adventurers. The website states that:
"On the edge of the galaxy, between the Unknown Regions and Wild Space, there is a long forgotten planet named Batuu. Now you are invited to visit this beautiful and treacherous village of secrets, built upon secrets.
The Theme Park and Its Layout
While the aerial shots may not look like a lot, but if you inspect them you will be able to feel the huge scale of the project, which is full of new rides and attractions.
Aerial shots of the ongoing construction of Star Wars Theme Park
The new photos focus on some specific areas like the Rise of the Resistance area, the Black Spire Outpost, and the Millennium Falcon. Out of these, the Black Spire Outpost is said to be a new vilage which is located right in the Star Wars world, and is an extension of the locations which fans have come come to love from the movies.
The architectural style is more notable here
Also Read: Star Wars is set in Old Republic!
The team which is handling the Star Wars Theme Park's development commented that they were inspired by Middle Eastern Architecture, especially from cities like Jerusalem and Istanbul.
The Attractions and Rides Of Star Wars Theme Park
One of the most exciting news which is sure to make fans rush out to get tickets is the to-scale replica of the Millennium Falcon. But apart from this, there are a lot of rides and attractions along with cafes and restaurants, including Oga's Cantina and Ronto Roasters which will keep customers occupied.
A full scale replica of the Millennium Falcon will be in the park
Cost Of Visiting The Star Wars Theme Park
Keep those wallets full when you head out there, because a visit to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge certainly isn't going to come cheap. For a one-day, one-park ticket you will have to shell out $104 and that too on a 'low-demand day'. But regular or rather prime time visits like on weekends and holidays will cost you $149 a day.
With so much attention to detail and a huge wave of nostagia which is sure to hit you when the new movie arrives in theatres, heading out atleast once to the park seems like a good idea.
Here is the official Star Wars 9 trailer:

I have found that the Easy Walk Harness is the easiest and simplest training tool for walking dogs that like to pull. I can't speak highly enough at how fantastic the harness is for stopping your dog from walking YOU! It is a simple, yet very effective, training tool. And nearly everyone I've told about it was extremely thankful.
I learned about the harness at the first dog training class for my dog. He liked to pull all the time. There were about 8 people in the class and it was held above a pet store. The trainer went into detail about why the Easy Walk was so effective and that we should consider getting one.
After the class, EVERYONE was in the store buying one. I didn't even need to use it more than two weeks before I had my dog walking beside me.
There are 2 quick release buckles on the harness. Each buckle is on a different colored webbing. One of those colored sections has a D-ring and one does not. The D-ring is the "D" shaped metal connection point for the leash. The buckle on that webbing is the only one you undo. Always leave the other buckle connected leaving a permanent loop. That is the dark brown webbing in the photo above.
Just slip that loop over the head. Rotate the loop around the neck until the D-ring is laying on the dog's chest. Now you have to connect the two buckle ends. Wrap the longer webbing strap under the belly and connect it on the other side. Just make sure that it is snug.
It is one of the easiest harnesses to put on and take off after you've done it a couple of times. It's not one of those harnesses that you have to get one leg in and then the next leg.
Just place the webbing loop over the head and wrap the other strap under and around the body. Connect the buckle and you're done.
Now for the reason why it is so good. A dog that constantly pulls or walks circles around you is a problem. You could trip on the leash or drop it. That's the behavior you need to change.
When you first use it, tug on the leash each time your dog starts to pull or moves in a different direction. And you may have to pull on the leash every few seconds – and that's the annoying part.
With the leash connected to their chest, each time you pull, it slightly trips them up. Harnesses with a connection point on the back don't do much. It may slow them down, but that's the wrong approach to changing a dog's behavior.
So each time they start to pull you give a gentle tug on the leash and that slightly pulls them towards you. Each tug alters the way they are walking and that should slow them down. Within a few days to a week you should see a radical change.
The harness basically has three webbing sections: the back, the belly or bottom strap, and the part that lays on the chest. The chest and backing webbing are what forms the loop that you place over the head. The webbing that goes under your dog is what you use to connect the harness.
Place the loop on and connect the belly buckle and see how it fits. You should only be able to fit 1-2 fingers in between the webbing and your dog. Just tighten the webbing for each section if it is looser than that.
There are 3 places to tighten or loosen the harness. The webbing on the back has one adjuster. The other two are on either side of the D-ring.
As for sizing, just search online for "easy walk harness sizing chart". You need to measure the chest from behind the legs up to and around the back.
Then check the charts for the best size realizing that there are adjustments that can be made. It's probably best to go larger and tighten it then to find out you bought one that is too small.
A final tip I have is for dogs with body shapes that allow them to slip out of the harness. Another feature of this harness is that dogs can't slip out unless they have long bodies like dachshunds. But there are some other breeds that may slip out of the harness.
To prevent that from happening use a collar along with the harness. Attach the leash to the D-ring on the harness and then to the collar. Swing the connection for the collar to just above the D-ring and you should be able to connect the leash to it as well. I don't see how any dog could get out of that.
The retail price for the Harness for my dog (55-60 lbs) was approximately $26 US when I bought it about 7 years ago. Though on Amazon they seem to be around $20. I would assume there is a difference in price for smaller or larger dogs.
Feel free to email me with any questions or leave a comment about your experiences with the Easy Walk Harness.
