en Although our backgrounds and languages may be different, one thing isn't so different, and that is: everybody likes to have a good time. If there's one language that's universal, it's dance, particularly folk dance.

en The style of dance that I do is called Ottawa Valley Step Dancing. The area was settled by people who came to work in lumber camps. They were mainly French, Irish, Scottish, German and Polish. They traded fiddle tunes and used their feet to accompany themselves. The dance style developed that way, but it's certainly evolved a lot since then.

en Now is the time to keep bears from becoming a nuisance later in the summer. Bears that wander near residential areas in search of food are less likely to stay or return if they do not find anything rewarding. Conversely, if bears find food in your backyard they quickly learn to associate residential areas with food and begin to spend more time in those areas. Encounters between humans and bears increase, as does property damage, the risk of human injury and vehicle accidents involving bears.

en With the improved software, several stars are tracked at the same time, and losing the primary one is no big deal as long as there are more stars left to track.

The bearish case is a move below 9,525, which would lead the indices into the long-awaited correction. Anything in between is a purely traders playing the trading range.

en First game out of the box, man, and let me tell you, I was running scared. I got my helmet cracked the first time I touched that thing (the ball). Man, it got beat up a little bit. That gives you inspiration to go out there and not make too many mistakes.

en If we found some other dude, to sing I'd love to move on. Write some cool tunes and change the name and go on like that. I don't see continuing as Alice and replacing somebody. We're not trying to replace Layne. We want to play these songs one more time, and if it seems like the right thing to do, it'll happen. I don't know how long it will go or where it will take us. It's kind of a tribute to Layne and our fans, the people who love these songs. It's not some 'I'm broke and I need the money' situation. We love playing together.

en The lapse of ages changes all things - time, language, the earth, the bounds of the sea, the stars of the sky, and every thing "about, around, and underneath" man, except man himself.
  Lord Byron
