Darren Criss Makes His Broadway Debut in 'How To Succeed' But Won't Be Missing From 'Glee' For Long
By Erin Konrad January 4, 2012 No Comments
Glee fans won't have to worry about missing Blaine for too long.
Despite Darren Criss' stint taking over Daniel Radcliffe's role in Broadway's How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, the actor will return to the set of the FOX series by the end of January.
In an interview with E!Online, Criss says, "I'll be gone for maybe one or two episodes. There's a lot going on on that show. You won't even notice!"
After accepting the part in which he'll make his Broadway debut, Criss assumed Glee creator Ryan Murphy would probably choose to cut the part of Blaine (fan favorite boyfriend of Kurt Hummel.) "I thought that before I was going to leave, they might write Blaine out just to make things easier on everybody."
Instead Criss was given a great deal of screen time in the anticipated upcoming Michael Jackson tribute episode. "Right before I left, Blaine had a lot of really cool things to do…When you see that episode, I shot all my stuff in four days. It was quick!" However, as a series regular on a show known for its long work days and exhausted cast, Criss is still appreciative of this wonderful opportunity in his career. Criss describes filming the Michael Jackson episode, in which he sings "You Wanna Be Startin' Somethin,'" as "a shotgun of crazy, exhausting stuff and it was both a thrill—because you really wanna do justice to these awesome songs—but frustrating, because I wanted it to be perfect and amazing. So hopefully they cut it right."
Criss won't have long to wait to see the final cut of the episode—he'll be back on the Los Angeles set after he takes his final bow on Broadway on January 22.

Councillors are expected to try to reverse a controversial price rise in music tuition fees this week.
In the February 2019 budget, the council rejected proposals to move to the full cost of the Instrumental Music Service in a bid to halt a price hike for parents and carers.
However, the PA reported earlier this month this did not override the rise in tuition fees agreed for 2019/20 at the February 2018 budget.
The 2018 budget saw councillors agree the fees for the service to go up by 20 per cent each year for the following three years, meaning fees would go up to £354 as of August 21 2019.
Letters informing parents of the price of music fees for the next academic year are due to go out in June.
At a meeting of the council's strategic policy and resources committee tomorrow (Wednesday, April 17), councillors will try to reverse the blunder, which they said happened following a "misunderstanding" in this year's budget.
The leader of the SNP opposition, Councillor Dave Doogan, reckons the meeting will humiliate the administration and show the ruling Conservative and Lib Dem parties to be "incompetent".
He said: "None of the councillors I have discussed this with in Perth and Kinross Council can remember such a glaring and embarrassing fiasco whereby an administration so badly mismanages their own budget setting process.
"For the Tories and the Lib Dems to seek to suspend standing orders to undo a key element of their own budget within two months is simply scandalous.
Fellow SNP colleague Cllr Grant Laing also said: "Either this is incompetence and the administration doesn't realise how a budget works, or they are doing a U-turn after the public outcry.
"It didn't stand up to say there would be no rise this year, because one had already been put in place last year.
Council leader Murray Lyle previously told the PA no pupil will pay any more for music tuition than they did last year.
He said: "This administration recognises the value of music tuition for our young people and the contribution it makes to their health and wellbeing as well as to their academic attainment and a wide range of other skills.
"But, we are discussing with officers the necessary processes requiring council agreement to ensure that the previously agreed increase to the Instrumental Music Service charge for the coming school year is not passed on to parents and carers.
Previously a spokesperson for Perth and Kinross Council said the official stance of the local authority is the planned 20 per cent price rise will be upheld on August 21 2019, in accordance with the budget proposals agreed in February 2018.

Feds break up multi-million-dollar Newark heroin ring
Updated: Jan. 17, 2019, 1:33 a.m. | Published: Nov. 19, 2015, 4:41 p.m.
At least 15 people were charged Thursday in a federal investigation of a major heroin ring operatingh out of a condemned building in Newark. (File photo | Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
By Ted Sherman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
NEWARK--Tenants complained the tenement building on Johnson Avenue in Newark, condemned last week by the city for major code violations, was crawling with rats and bedbugs.
Federal prosecutors said it was also home to what they called "a 24-hour illegal drug bazaar," where millions of dollars worth of heroin was sold during all hours of the day and night by dealers who paid residents to leave their doors unlocked to provide them with quick escape routes if the police raided the building.
Authorities on Thursday charged 15 people in the sophisticated operation, which U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman called one of the largest and most successful heroin distribution organizations in Newark, operating just down the block from the athletic fields of Malcolm X. Shabazz High School and the playground and basketball courts of Terrell James Park.
"Law abiding citizens shouldn't have to worry about drug dealing where children are trying to learn and play," Fishman said.
Among those charged was Almalik Anderson, 36, described as the ringleader of the operation, who allegedly monitored the operation from a townhouse across the street, authorities said.
Nine people were arrested and six remain at large.
According to a criminal complaint filed in federal district court in Newark, the group operated out of an apartment building at 25 Johnson Ave. taking advantage of the building's location on a dead-end street that made it difficult for for law enforcement to conduct surveillance despite the constant streams of buyers entering the building. Lookouts were paid by the gang to alert the ring to any police activity coming down the street.
Some residents, prosecutors alleged, were paid $25 a day to keep their apartments unlocked as a secret escape route if the police showed up. According to the complaint, Newark police in January spotted a drug deal going on in front of the building and chased the suspect. They said he dropped 40 packets of heroin and ran into an unlocked apartment on the fourth floor, before slamming the door shut. By the time the police broke down the door, the suspect had fled out the window of the apartment and down a fire escape, leaving behind a loaded .9mm handgun that an older woman living in the apartment tried to hide, prosecutors said.
In April, the FBI installed two hidden cameras in lighting and exit fixtures in a hallway of the building, capturing dozens of drug transactions. After six days, the transmission failed and agents found wires were sticking out of the fixtures where the cameras had been ripped out.
The heroin--sold in glassine packets under brand names like "Morning Rush," "The Virus," and "RIP"--generated thousands in profits, which was funneled into legitimate business ventures, said authorities, including a Newark clothing store and the purchase of vehicles at auction for cash. The group sold one to two kilograms of heroin per week. Prosecutors said the drugs being sold was of a high quality and attracted a lot of customers.
The dealers worked in carefully planned "shifts" to handle the constant flow of buyers. In one tapped cell phone conversation recorded earlier this month, Anderson's deputy--Quawee "Hatman" Jones--complained to one of his managers about some of the lower-level dealers selling drugs outside by the mailbox, which he referred to as "the porch," rather than inside the building's hallway.
"I'm tired of dealing with these little punk [expletive] that ain't about the action," he complained. "My [expletive] is off the porch. [Expletive] shouldn't even be on the porch, like for what?"
Jones warned that selling on the street outside would bring in the police, and they would all end up in jail.
In another recording, Anderson himself made the point clear, telling one buyer: "Yo, you gotta walk in the building, don't stop and talk. Police be watching."
In recent weeks, with the building ordered shut down by the city because of alleged housing code violations, prosecutors said the gang had been searching for a new place operate.
The FBI estimated that based upon the drugs quantities sold, the ring generated between $4 million and $7 million a year.
At an initial appearance Thursday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Steven C. Mannion in Newark, Jones and Anderson were both ordered held without bail.
Anderson, charged with running a continuing criminal enterprise, faces a minimum sentence of 20 years and up to life in prison if convicted. The others, charged with conspiracy to distributed heroin, face minimum sentences of 10 years and up to life in prison.

Mike Nadel: Pats win because they play to win
Mike Nadel
One major reason the New England Patriots win: Bill Belichick rejects the play-not-to-lose mentality so many coaches embrace.
Twice facing third down early in their final drive of Sunday's AFC championship game against the San Diego Chargers, it would have been easy for the Patriots to run the ball, punt and assume their defense could protect a nine-point lead.
Instead, Belichick and his staff called pass plays both times, trusting Tom Brady and the highest-scoring offense in NFL history to do the right thing. Both times the Pats converted the first downs, and they proceeded to run out the last 9 minutes, 13 seconds.
This was nothing new for Belichick. He ushered in the No. 1 ongoing dynasty in pro sports back in the 2002 Super Bowl when, instead of playing for overtime, he let a then very green Brady aggressively direct the winning drive.
If more coaches played to win instead of not to lose, they might be surprised how often they'd win.
Football was featured prominently in recent editions of my blog. The Baldest Truth (www.thebaldesttruth.com) celebrated its one-year anniversary last week, and here are some more excerpts.
Pigskin ponderings
Five random thoughts from Conference Championship Sunday:
1. From the steam billowing out of tens of thousands of mouths at Lambeau Field to the snot dripping from Brett Favre's nose to Tom Coughlin's impossibly red face to Pam Oliver's report that the Packers weren't heating the Giants' bench to Plaxico Burress' punking Al Harris all night long to Lawrence Tynes cashing in on his third attempt for a winning field goal, the NFC title game offered everything any sports fan ever could want from a championship-class event.
2. Everybody knows Favre will have to hang it up one day ... but there is no freakin' way he's going to go out on an overtime interception that cost the Packers a Super Bowl trip. Stop the silliness now, Brett, and just announce your return.
3. Reporting on the condition of LaDainian Tomlinson, who entered the game with a knee injury and left it early, CBS sideline reporter Steve Tasker said Michael Turner playing instead of Tomlinson was "a coach's decision" rather than an indication that L.T. had reinjured his knee. Shame on the Chargers for feeding fraudulent information to Tasker, a former Pro Bowl player who deserved more respect. Shame on the team for lying to viewers. And shame on usually sharp announcers Jim Nantz and Phil Simms for not pressing the issue when it so obviously was not a coach's decision. No matter what anybody thinks of Norv Turner, the man wouldn't bench one of the top five backs ever just for the heck of it.
4. Now that I really think about it, how could I have been so wrong with my NFC prediction? I mean, Green Bay lost twice to the Bears. Of course the football gods wouldn't let the Packers go to the Super Bowl!
5. Patriots 38, Giants 17. And it won't be as close as that score might indicate.
Quotable Cubbies
The Cubs Convention - that orgy of rampant fanaticism, disgusting hero-worship and capitalism run amok - opened Friday with the "media social." For about 90 minutes, Lou Piniella and his players were punished for last year's playoff collapse by being forced into a small room with several dozen media mopes like me.
The top five Cubbie quotes I jotted into my reporter's notebook:
1. "Seventy-five, 85, 95, 100, whatever. However you cut it, it's been too long. I really don't see any difference between 95 years and 100 years, anyway. Besides, the law of averages says we're gonna win it one of these years, right?" - shortstop Ryan Theriot.
2. "No more predictions." - Carlos Zambrano, who a year ago said the Cubs would win the World Series and he would win the Cy Young Award.
3. "Best I've ever felt. I shouldn't say that because it could turn on me, but this is the best I've ever felt." - Ron Santo.
4. "I'm very happy with (Mark) DeRosa at second base. I really don't expect to do what you people are expecting us to do." - Piniella, on the likelihood of the Cubs trading for Orioles leadoff man/second baseman/admitted juicer Brian Roberts, a deal that has
been rumored for more than a month.
5. "That's like buying a Rolls Royce and trying to get Volkswagen mileage out if it." - Piniella, on whether he'll ask Alfonso Soriano to try to become more of a prototypical leadoff man if the Cubs don't get Roberts.
In the cards
Scott Rolen not only is out of St. Louis, but the newest Toronto Blue Jay is out of the country, having been traded by the Cardinals for Troy Glaus.
Congratulations, Tony La Russa ... you won!
Your Cardinals probably won't win more games than they lose in 2008, but at least you'll have a new injury-prone third baseman to trash.
By now, everybody knows of Terrell Owens' weepy defense of Cowboys party boy Tony Romo. What you might have missed were these five other things that brought T.O. to tears:
1. "Mama McNabb won't give me any more soup!"
2. "Hilary cries, and she wins a primary. I cry, and everybody teases me."
3. "Drew Rosenhaus is so misunderstood!"
4. "I miss Coach Mariucci!"
5. "Michael Bolton? Michael Bolton? Nicollette Sheridan told me she'd never drop her towel for anyone but me!"

Each process running in Microsoft Windows is assigned a unique decimal number called the process ID, or PID. This number is used to specify the process when attaching a debugger to it.
There are several ways to determine the PID for a given application: using the Task Manager, using the tasklist command, using the TList utility, or using the debugger.
The Task Manager may be activated in a number of ways, but the simplest is to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and then click Task Manager.
From the Processes tab, click on the Details tab to see the PID, along with other useful information.
Some kernel errors may cause delays in Task Manager's graphical interface.
Use the tasklist command from a Command Prompt window to display all processes, their PIDs, and a variety of other details.
TList (Task List Viewer, tlist.exe) is a command-line utility that displays a list of tasks, or user-mode processes, currently running on the local computer. TList is included in the Debugging Tools for Windows package.
When you run TList from the command prompt, it will display a list of all the user-mode processes in memory with a unique process identification (PID) number. For each process, it shows the PID, process name, and, if the process has a window, the title of that window.
For more information, see TList.
If there is already a user-mode debugger running on the system in question, the .tlist (List Process IDs) command will display a list of all PIDs on that system.
To debug a user-mode driver running on another computer, debug the Client Server Run-Time Subsystem (CSRSS) process. For more information, see Debugging CSRSS.

Nominations, Shortlist, Art Show
The Turner Prize for contemporary art is judged by an independent jury that changes each year. Nominations are invited for entrants, usually during a three-week period in May. A short-list (used to be 6 artists, since 1991, 4 artists) is announced in July. In late October an exhibition of the nominees' work opens at the Tate Gallery (Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool), while the prize itself is typically announced in the first week of December. The art show remains open till early January. [Note: The Turner prize-winner is assessed not on his works at the Tate exhibition, but rather on the earlier show for which he/she was nominated.]
Important Winner
Duncan Campbell (b.1972)
Awarded the 2014 Turner Prize for
his contribution to Scotland's pavilion
at the Venice Biennale Exhibition.

• 27 percent were mixed media/multimedia artists
• 14 percent were film/video artists
• 9 percent were photographers
Turner Prize Winners: Controversy
Perhaps because so many shortlisted artists are involved in unconventional or avant-garde forms of installation art, contemporary sculpture, video art or other types of conceptual art, they tend to attract considerable criticism (even ridicule) from some art critics and members of the public. One criticism levelled repetitively at Turner Prize Winners, for instance, is that their works do not constitute "art".
Turner prize exhibits have included: a 2-hour film of the artist (Mark Wallinger) wandering aimlessly around the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, dressed in a bear suit; a dead sheep in formaldehyde (Damian Hirst); an installation of a white room with a single light bulb blinking on and off (Martin Creed); an installation of an unmade bed complete with used condoms and tampons (Tracy Emin).

COVID-19 Update | August 20, 2021
The California Biotechnology Foundation is committed to keeping you up to date about COVID-19 testing, treatment and prevention advancements. The following resources track what progress has been made as of August 27, 2021. Notable advancements include:
The Food and Drug Administration granted full approval to Pfizer and BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine – becoming the first in the U.S. to be granted the designation.
Unvaccinated people are about 29 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than those who are fully vaccinated, according to a study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to preliminary research, monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19 like those from Eli Lilly and Regeneron reduce the risk for hospitalization or death by about 70%.

The Food and Drug Administration's formal approval of Comirnaty has raised hopes for a fresh wave of COVID-19 immunizations.

Monoclonal Antibodies vs Vaccines vs COVID-19: What to Know
MedScape – August 26, 2021
The FDA authorized monoclonal antibody drugs from the companies Regeneron and Eli Lilly in November 2020, but only recently have they attracted more attention as the Delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 surges across the U.S. Whether you've just tested positive or been exposed, monoclonal antibodies could help you and your loved ones stave off COVID-19. Here's what you need to know.
Johnson & Johnson Says Its COVID-19 Booster Shot Prompts Large Increase In Immune Response
CBSN – August 25, 2021

Monoclonal antibodies for COVID-19: How they work and who is eligible
CNET – August 24, 2021
Preventing COVID-19 from making people extremely sick or landing them in the hospital is the public health goal of the pandemic, and the main job of COVID-19 vaccines. While monoclonal antibody therapy has been around for decades, COVID-19 monoclonal antibodies have been gaining credibility as a key tool for protecting people most at risk of severe COVID-19. Preliminary research shows the treatment reduces risk for hospitalization or death by about 70%.
What full FDA approval for COVID-19 vaccines really means
Vox – August 23, 2021
Nearly nine months after the first Americans received their shots, the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer/BioNTech received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration for people 16 and older on Monday. This could help increase the number of people willing to get vaccines and make it easier to compel those who are less willing — if health officials can cut through the mounting confusion around their efficacy, booster shots, and the threat of the delta variant.


Products - Fletchers Plumbing & Contracting, Inc.
Water softeners are brilliantly designed to work. Period.
A Kinetico Water Softener will provide your family with abundant clean, soft water on demand. From multitank systems powered by the energy of moving water to a more traditional approach, Kinetico covers all your options. We will work with you to choose the water softener that's right for you.
Great tasting water for your family whenever you want.
Water quality used to be a non-issue. But pharmaceuticals, chlorine, and other pollutants now contaminate in our water supply and an aging water system degrades the taste and feel of our water. It's no wonder many of us now think twice before taking a drink from the tap. And bottled water is expensive and is hard on the environment. Fortunately, with Kinetico, you can provide your family with fresh, clean, great-tasting water without worry or concern.
The semipermeable membrane in the system traps contaminants, iron, hardness and odor-causing impurities, leaving you with perfectly clean, clear water. Our system picks up where other water treatment options have failed. Activated carbon will help reduce odors, and the drying effects of chlorine, or chloramines, on the skin & hair. This system will also reduce sediment for clearer, cleaner water.


The cannabis company Weekend Unlimited Inc (CSE:YOLO) announced Thursday that R&D Pharma, its acquisition target in Jamaica, is expanding its marijuana growing operations.
An additional five-acre outdoor plot at the R&D Pharma property in Jamaica is set to be prepared for cultivation beginning next year, which should triple the company's production.
And Cody Corrubia, CEO of Weekend Unlimited, reports that 37 additional cannabis strains are being cultivated and 'phenotyped' by the Jamaican company as part of an in-depth program to produce unique equatorial and tropical cannabis varieties for both the medical and recreational markets.
Called Tropicann Jamaica, the R&D Pharma property now spans 98 acres, 60 acres of which are usable for cultivation.
The Jamaican company is now producing 13 acclimated strains of cannabis and 120 mother plants, according to Corrubia.
Currently, there are 5.2 acres of terraced outdoor cultivation being used at the site. This includes 3.2 acres of commercial cultivation, which is capable of producing 5,750kg of dry material per year. The remaining two acres are used for research and development, producing 3,000kg.
The site also boasts a 6,000 square foot green house, which houses a 3,600 square foot flower room; this facility is able to produce 600 kg of dry material per year for an onsite dispensary, which is planned to serve tourists.
Weekend Unlimited shares slipped 4.35% to hit C$0.11 on Wednesday.


The FAA has strict rules about aircraft maintenance — and for good reasons. Negligent maintenance is often a factor in aircraft crashes. Little mistakes in maintenance can turn into a devastating problem in the air.
Girardi | Keese attorneys have worked with experts to investigate aircraft accidents in California, throughout the US and internationally. Our investigations always include close scrutiny of maintenance logs and routines. While the answers are rarely simple in a complicated aircraft accident, negligent maintenance is often involved.
Negligent maintenance may be one of many factors or the primary factor.
It is too easy to find one factor in an aircraft accident and quit investigating. At Girardi | Keese, our trial lawyers want to know all the causes. The survivors of aviation injuries and the families of those killed in accidents deserve to know the full story.
By knowing every cause, we are also able to hold all responsible parties liable and assure adequate and fair compensation for the victims.
Not performing a complete inspection at mandated intervals can run the risk of component failure in the air — and a tragic accident.
When general aviation owners and operators delay maintenance in order to meet deadlines and adhere to schedules, negligent maintenance can cause a crash.
Mechanic certification is required for the specific type of plane. The wrong certification can cause errors in maintenance.
When different maintenance companies work on a plane, important safety checks can be missed.
Negligent maintenance is usually not obvious until the aircraft is in the air and in trouble. If our investigation shows negligent maintenance as the cause of an accident, we have no hesitation in taking the maintenance company to court.
To discuss an aviation accident case with our lawyers, contact us. We represent clients in California, nationally and internationally.


Welford Road is preparing to host its record-breaking 71st European Cup match this Friday as Leicester Tigers welcome the Scarlets in Round 2 of the Heineken Champions Cup.
In the first part of a flashback, we look at some of Tigers most memorable battles in European rugby's elite club tournament at the stadium over the years.
In Tigers' maiden European campaign, an unbeaten group stage set up an all-English quarter-final which brought a 21-13 victory over Harlequins to set up a semi-final clash with reigning European champions Toulouse.
A spell of freezing weather saw the Tigers staff erect a hot-air balloon over the pitch to ensure the playing surface was passed fit to play and and re-paid the hard work as the team lit up the stadium by demolishing their French visitors 37-11.
After finishing top of their pool, Tigers secured a home quarter-final against Swansea in the days before regional sides in Wales. Geordan Murphy, now interim head coach, was the star of the show, scoring two tries and helping Tigers to a 41-10 victory.
Murphy's performance would play a pivotal role in what would become the club's most memorable and successful season, claiming a famous treble of Premiership title, Championship crown and the European Cup.
After a narrow 31-30 win at the Stade Aimé Giral in Perpignan just six days earlier, Tigers rallied to record a 54-15 victory in front of the Welford Road crowd.
Ben Kay, Lewis Moody and Tim Stimpson all scored tries in the first half, with Steve Booth, Geordan Murphy and Ollie Smith leaving their mark on the visitors with second-half scores.
Leinster were the quarter-final visitors in the club's charge to retain the European Cup. Tigers had suffered successive losses for the first time in two years in the build-up but rose to the occasion by producing moments of magic on their home turf.
With Austin Healey back from suspension, the team played adventurous rugby on a saturated pitch, scoring five tries in just 28 minutes. The familiar names of Leon Lloyd, Healey, Murphy and a double from Neil Back had Welford Road rocking. And they had plenty more to cheer about come the end of the season as Tigers became the first team to win back-to-back European titles.
Keep an eye out for Part Two in our Welford Road memories when Tigers welcome Racing 92 to Welford Road in Round 4 of this season's Heineken Champions Cup on Sunday, December 16 (1.00pm).
Match tickets for Tigers versus Scarlets are still available. Simply contact the Tigers ticket office on 0116 319 8888 (option 2) or visit the link below.


Insects have captured our imaginations.
We have had numerous snails, spiders, and wood bugs visit our classroom in various containers.
Since the kids seem to have a need to play with bugs, it was time for an insect sensory bin.
This bin was embarrassingly simple to put together.
We started with a chunk of moss (donated by a local forest) and some wood stove pellets.
Animal feed (rabbit?) pellets, or gravel would have worked just as well. I just happen to have a hundred pounds of wood pellets in my basement.
Added some drift wood, sticks, an old roots, and some tree blocks.
A friendly assortment of rocks.
And a bendable stick bridge. A pet store (rodent section) find that a wonderful colleague told me about.
Finally, the stars of the bin -- the bugs. The insects are a combination of dollar store and Toob bugs. The kids like realistic looking insects, not cutesy ones. They tell me that they are too grown up and sophisticated for cutesy bugs.
The insect bin is reinvented each time the kids play with it.
Sometimes the bugs hide in the moss.
Bugs hiding in the pellet mountain.
"It's a bug fort, Ms Sandi".
Fascinated by insects, or totally freaked out by bugs, this is a super-easy bin to create that won't sting, bite or freak anyone out.
Follow Sandi @ rubber boots and elf shoes's board bugs 'n creepy crawlies on Pinterest.
They are definitely kid (and mama) friendly bugs.


Analyst Igor Korotchenko suggested what the purpose of American plans is.
"For the United States, a more or less permanent military presence in the Black Sea [even if it is on a rotating basis, since the Montreux Convention forbids them from having a permanent presence], showing its flag there, is a political issue," said Korotchenko.
There are currently 6 users and 1020 guests online.

As for the phone itself, it shares a number of features with the Galaxy S3. Both have a quad core processor (in the One X's case, an Nvidia Tegra 3), 1GB RAM, an eight megapixel rear camera, a 1,280 x 720 pixels display and runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
It surpasses the S3 when it comes to onboard storage (32GB vs 16GB) and offers a number of other useful features like Beats Audio technology, HTC ImageSense plus a two year subscription to Dropbox with 25GB thrown in.
The cheapest Galaxy S3 we've tracked costs just under £500 SIM Free and £25.25 on contract

Eight AI trends we're watching in 2020


Being 31 weeks pregnant certainly has its limitations on what I can wear these days. Anything high-waisted (aside from the spandex belly-band), non-jersey form fitting, and most prints is an absolute no. Most of these looks I can still pull off in the fall though so let's hope the baby weight is something I can lose relatively quick!
Since these are trends I looked for all items to be relatively affordable. Leather, however, is one thing we can't go cheap on .
I feel like you could do a jumpsuit? It'd be so cute! Love those leather shorts!

FAQ information about the OSI:
What is the Open Source Initiative (OSI)?
The open source initiative is a non-profit organisation that focusses on raising awareness and adoption rates of Open Source Software (OSS).
We are a pragmatic community organisation that understands how developers, businesses, governments, and open source interact.
We are a globally recognised body for approving OSS licenses, and steward of the Open Source Definition.
The OSI serves as an international nexus of trust, protecting and promoting open source software as well as the communities that develop and depend on it. Since 1998, the OSI has brought together open source developers, organizers, contributors, advocates, and businesses around the common goal of creation through collaboration.
Why should I become a member?
Membership provides several benefits to individuals, the OSI and open source software. Only OSI Individual Members can vote for OSI Board Directors: they can even run for Director seats themselves. Individual Members are invited to join or create OSI sponsored Working Groups and Incubator Projects in various areas of open source advocacy and adoption. Individual Members are eligible for grants to attend conferences and meetings related to open source software on behalf of the OSI. Not only this, but individual members also get the following benefits:

Middleburg Academy Drama teacher David Sturdevant was featured on Good Morning Washington this week. Mr. Sturdevant was promoting Shakespeare in the Burg, an annual Shakespeare festival in Middleburg, Virginia. Organized by the Middlburg Community Center and performed by the American Shakespeare Center's actors, the festival also hosts workshops in stagecraft and acting, and a One Act Playwriting Competition, with the first prize being a public reading or performance of the winning script!


Riley has a little book with a lot of animals and their names in it. The giraffe is one of them. He is still learning words with two different syllabus so at the moment, giraffes are just "raffes". He can recognise a number of animals quite easily, without having seen them in real life before. I am not sure if it is because we were animated when describing the animals to him, but to encourage him and his love for animals, we went to the library recently to borrow many animal books with actual pictures and read them to him. He loves to point out the different animals and names them as he points them out.
He also has a teether for him to chew on when he is teething in the form of a giraffe which he fondly calls "Raffe" and a stuffed monkey he loves to hug at night which he fondly calls "Key".
While Riley may be too young to understanding all his experiences, we can certainly add provide him with more experiences.
Today we brought Riley to the Singapore Zoo. We brought along his animal book, so that he can make references to them.
We saw the hippo. ("Po" in Riley's words) He was prancing up and down before he fell asleep in the corner of his enclosure. Two young rhinos we playing and nudging each other with their horns. The white tiger ("Tiger!" exclaimed Riley) was taking a morning swim. He has a pool within his enclosure. The meerkats were rolling around while one of them stood watch as a sentry. The zebras (Riley's "Bra-bra"s)were…..well, they were not doing anything, just eating.
When we arrived at the giraffes, Riley was amazed. His eyes trailed the giraffes from head to toe and he was going "Woooaah". He understood at that moment what "tall" meant.
But he had no idea what we had in store for him. We intended for him to have the opportunity to feed the giraffes face to face!
Suddenly, the giraffes were no longer tall. In fact, the giraffe were huge and scary. She was sticking her head right at Riley, zooming in on the snack. Riley looked a little fearful but I guided him to feed the first vegetable. I wanted to see if he was brave enough to feed the second. Riley held on to the second piece and extended his hand a little. The giraffe's tongue snaked towards Riley's little hand and her mouth engulfed Riley's little hand. But the giraffe was an expert at snacking and Riley's hand was not harmed.
Well accustomed, the giraffe greedily snatched the 5 titbits away, knowing that the next child will have another 5. But for that brief one minute in Riley's life, giraffes were big, wide mouthed, snaky tongued creatures that snatched all his food away.
Learning is one of the oldest puzzles of mankind. In each era, we try to decode it, we try to simplify it into patterns, and we try to understand it with all kinds of concepts and theories. But it continues to elude us.
As parents, the best learning we can provide our child, is to spend quality time with them, be examples of lifelong learners by picking up new skills together with our children or exploring new places for new experiences with our children. In this case, by bringing him to the zoo, it made the pictures in his books come to life. It was experiential learning.
Yes, to come up with new experiences and our own parental curriculum and spending quality time with our kids, it is tiring. A Saturday could be easier spent relaxing and lazing around at home.
But that will be wasting the future of our children and not investing in it.

Tribal Lands: An Overview [October 14, 2021] [open pdf - 534KB]
From the Document: "Tribal lands can have a complicated and intermingled mix of land ownership and designation statuses. For instance, some federally recognized Indian tribes (hereinafter referred to as 'tribes') have reservations, whereas other tribes do not. Tribes may have land held in trust by the federal government or tribes may own restricted fee lands. Still other tribes may be landless. Because tribal lands may have different ownership statuses, tribes and tribal members may have different rights to manage and develop their lands and resources. Further, the federal government has varying levels of responsibility to tribes and their members depending on the types of land holdings. The following are common tribal land holdings: trust land, restricted fee land, and fee land. Other types of land designations, while not considered property holdings, can influence tribal land policy and may include trust, restricted fee, and fee lands within their scope. Such designations include allotted land, federal Indian reservations, and the term 'Indian Country'[.] [...] This In Focus also considers selected issues for Congress, including the fractionation of allotted lands and the land-into-trust process. For more information on tribal lands, see CRS [Congressional Research Service] Report R46647, 'Tribal Land and Ownership Statuses: Overview and Selected Issues for Congress', by Tana Fitzpatrick."
