I don't like horror movies very much, and I thought the zombie thing was kind of played out a long time ago, but goddamn.....that was great TV.
Is this online anywhere?
The first 10 minutes of the show was not in the comics (the little girl at the gas station and the talk between Shane and Rick in the car). And a lot of that shit with Morgan (stuff about his wife) wasn't in the comics.
I really enjoyed it. i just wish Directv had AMC in HD. I might just start downloading the HD torrent each Monday.
Because I know that you guys love it when I spam you with cultural criticism from salon.com
Walking Dead": Zombies for a recession-age America
AMC's new series uses apocalyptic imagery -- and the undead -- to tap into the economic anxieties of our time
A still from "The Walking Dead"
Zombie films are never really about zombies; they're disaster films about how people behave when society is collapsing and there's no government looking over their shoulders. As an aficionado of the genre -- which I've written about in a Salon slide show and summed up in a video essay -- I was intrigued to find out if AMC, filmmaker Frank Darabont ("The Shawshank Redemption") and producer Gale Anne Hurd ("Terminator") could add anything new to the blood, guts and ethical quandaries formula while adapting Robert Kirkman and illustrator Tony Moore's comic book series "The Walking Dead" (which debuted last night). Ghoul-crazy storylines are by nature mythic (albeit in a goofy way), and as such, they tend to be fun, at times sensationally effective, in concentrated, feature-length bursts. Beyond that, you run into the problem of repetition. When the energy level is cranked up into the red zone (no pun intended), the way most recent zombie films like it, over time the shocks are almost guaranteed to become less shocking, the dark comedy less amusing, the emotions less affecting. The too-muchness hard-wired into the genre might become too much.
Can "The Walking Dead" beat the odds? Based on last night's pilot and next week's episode (which AMC provided in advance for critics), I'd answer with a qualified yes, thanks mainly to the naturalistic way the series foregrounds the notion that the zombie film is a popcorn Gothic variation on the "End of the World as We Know It" story. From "Earthquake" and "Deep Impact" to "War of the Worlds" and Cormac McCarthy's apocalyptic parable "The Road" (the film version of which appears to have influenced Darabont), these stories all ask similar questions: When most of what you knew and loved is gone, is there any advantage in being kind -- or any difference between rational self-interest and flat-out selfishness? In a post-catastrophe landscape, utilitarianism becomes the go-to philosophical framework for every debate. "If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved," wrote Khalil Gibran, a noble sentiment if you're not angling for the last seat on the last plane out of Zombieville.
This is certainly the best of times for zombie films generally, and for this series in particular. With the economy still mired in a four-year slump, social services deteriorating, and the country locked in what amounts to a seemingly permanent and thus far largely bloodless civil war, ever-larger numbers of Americans are grappling with basic questions of survival, making priority lists of which creditors to pay and which to string along, encouraging unemployed friends and sick relatives to find someplace else to crash, and thinking of skirting or breaking laws they would have honored in less dire times. The moral dilemmas presented in zombie movies are more outrageously colorful, and much more exciting, but similar in spirit. The slow pace and meticulous dramatics of "The Walking Dead" infuse the mundane into the fantastic, and connect what happens on-screen with what's happening in post-employment America. It's a kitchen-sink drama; the sink is full of bloody bats, hammers and hacksaws.
The ethics-debating-to-flesh-ripping ratio is probably higher here than in any zombie film that inspired "The Walking Dead," including the granddaddy of the modern zombie picture, George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" (1968). Anybody that tuned in expecting kinetic action along the lines of "28 Days Later" or the 2004 remake of Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" -- wherein the monsters sprinted like Olympic track-and-field stars -- was likely disappointed. By my stopwatch, at least two-thirds of the extended pilot, titled "Days Gone By," was zombie-free, concentrating on the plight of former small-town Kentucky cop Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). This Gary Cooper-esque, strong-silent hero (like so many cable TV actors, a Brit doing a generic "regional" accent) was rendered comatose after a high-speed chase and shootout -- one that provided the premiere's only wholly gratuitous burst of mayhem. He woke up, rather like the hero of "28 Days," in a hospital after the pandemic had begun, released himself on his own recognizance, surveyed the extent of the disaster, then swore to locate his wife, Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies), and his son Carl (Chandler Riggs), who had apparently fled their house in a hurry (and in one piece).
And that's when the premiere of "The Walking Dead" started to hit its preferred stride: a laid-back shamble not unlike that of Romero's black-and-white founding fiends. The opening episode took Rick out of the countryside and into the suburbs and then onto a major city (Atlanta, although the series seems inclined to go for an Anytown, USA sense of place) letting scenes play out as long as the filmmakers thought necessary. In Darabont's case, that can be quite a while; luckily the pacing here struck me as nearly always just about right, with the exception of the ghastly zombie-girl prologue (a glorified tease that also made Rick's post-awakening incredulity a bit weird; what, he didn't remember shooting the rotting-faced girl? What was that sequence supposed to be, anyway, seeing as how it doesn't quite fit with the rest of the episode's chronology?) and the aforementioned "Dukes of Hazzard"-with-blood-squibs sequence. Both could have been trimmed or deleted without damaging the episode.
Elsewhere, Darabont and company were on surprisingly solid ground. The peak for me was the long section in the middle in which Rick takes refuge with a surviving father and son, Morgan (Lenny Moore) and Duane (Adrian Kali Turner). They hole up in their house while zombies shuffle around on the street outside, occasionally driven into a pathetic flurry of motion by gunshots or car alarms. The mortals draw the blinds to prevent the undead from detecting movement and talk softly, their voices always teetering on the edge of fright. "I never should have fired that gun today," Morgan tells Rick, referring to the shot he fired earlier that knocked out a flesh-eater and saved the former cop's life. "The sound draws 'em. Now they're all over the street." Duane knows how to shoot, just like Mel Gibson's boys in "The Patriot." When the streets are overrun with rotting monstrosities -- including a corpse that was once Morgan's wife and Duane's mama -- the kumbaya thing doesn't cut it.
"She died in the other room on that bed," Morgan says of his formerly warm-blooded wife. "I should have put her down. I just didn't have it in me. She's the mother of my child." The scene of Morgan staring through his rifle scope, trying to muster the gumption to pull the trigger and perform a mercy killing, brought the episode to a peak of emotion that the remainder couldn't match. After that, the lone cowboy vs. zombie injuns action in the city couldn't help but feel routine (even though Darabont's elegantly clean sense of screen space made it a grim pleasure to watch). Ditto the intimations of "But I thought you were dead!" partner-switching on the part of Lori, who's hiding out in the countryside with Rick's former partner, Shane (John Bernthal); that business felt too daytime soap on first glance.
Luckily episode two, which I'll avoid discussing in detail here, fills the picture in with more nuance than you might expect -- particularly in its delineation of Shane's "every man for himself" philosophy, a far cry from Rick's matter-of-fact decency. (I'm skeptical of this, too, though; making Shane less likable than Rick is too easy, and sets Shane up to be eaten with a clear conscience.) Next Sunday's installment also clears up a mystery created by a clumsy bit of climactic offscreen dialogue near the end -- I'm not spoiling anything by telling you that the voice that crackles over the radio of the tank that Rick has crawled into does not belong to a zombie, and that where there's a downtown, there are retail stores, and where there are retail stores and zombies, there are allusions to "Dawn of the Dead," complete with bloody hands paddling plate glass. (Here endeth the not-quite-spoilers.)
The premiere's second most engrossing thread -- for me, at least -- was Rick's interaction with that mangled, paraplegic, crawling zombie woman. His decision to seek her out and put her out of her misery (at least that seemed to be his thinking, based on what we've seen of Rick) was noble, to be sure -- a mercy killing. (In addition to the "Lord of the Flies" aspect, zombie films are also coded arguments in favor of euthanasia, treating death as a gift bestowed on those who are alive but no longer truly living.) But it also hinted at tendencies that Rick will have to suppress, perhaps lose altogether, if he's going to survive long-term. On the plus side, he did for that wretched former mortal what he probably wishes somebody would do for him in the same circumstance. But on the minus side, he wasted a perfectly good bullet that might have come in handy later. In the end, which scenario is preferable? Keep your pulse but lose your soul, or vice versa? There doesn't seem to be much middle ground.
"DON'T OPEN," read a sign on a barricaded double-door back at the hospital. "DEAD INSIDE." That statement does double-duty as a truth-in-advertising proclamation and as an allusion to the series' real agenda. As the pandemic goes on, things will only get worse, and people will only act worse, and eventually it'll get to the point where there won't be any discernible difference between zombies and non-zombies other than the temperature of their bodies and their preference in nourishment (and maybe not even that). "DEAD INSIDE" is what Rick and his family and any other survivors will be, and "DON'T OPEN" will be the watchword for protecting what's left of your feelings, the imperative to look out for No. 1 and not get too attached to anything or anybody for fear of being exploited, manipulated, robbed or killed. "Walking Dead," indeed.

The Walking Dead Is AMC's Highest-Rated Show Ever
Don Draper: The Undead Years? Probably not going to happen, but maybe it should. Ratings are in for Sunday's debut of AMC's new zombie drama The Walking Dead, and they were, well, monstrous. Nielsen says 5.3 million people watched the 90-minute bow at 10 p.m. on Halloween, giving AMC its biggest audience ever for an original series, and far surpassing the numbers for network staples such as Mad Men and Breaking Bad. (The network's all-time draw remains the mini-series Broken Trail, which premiered to nearly 10 million viewers back in 2006.) Add in same-night repeats of Dead, and the show's premiere audience rises to just over 8 million viewers. What's more, Dead was particularly big with viewers under 50: Around 3.6 million in that demo watched, making the show the biggest cable-series premiere among the young folks this year. So does this mean Dead will be back for a second season?
Most likely, yes. Dead more than doubled the audience of past AMC series premieres, and the demos are simply stunning (particularly for a channel that has tended to skew a bit older). That said, AMC may wait to make sure viewers stick around in coming weeks for future zombie adventures. After all, earlier this year the network's Rubicon bowed to a then-record 2 million viewers; by the time the show wrapped its first season last month, it was down to barely 1 million. That said, even if Dead loses half of its audience, it'll still be in the same league as other successful AMC series. As AMC president Charlie Collier put it in the network's press release touting the show's ratings, "It's a good day to be dead."
5.3 Million Viewers is a lot
For comparisons sake, the most people to ever watch a single episode of Breaking Bad on its airdate was 2 million.
Mad Men's highest number of viewers for a single episode was 2.92 million.
The highest amount of viewers for a single Rubicon episode was 2 million, but I'm pretty sure that it piggybacked either Breaking Bad or Mad Men that night.
Aside from Neilsen being a joke of all jokes, that's impressive. And I loved every minute of it.
Also, I was no off-put by the accent. Yes, it's crappy but I didn't find it distracting.
Where is Will Smith?
The very first episode of The Walking Dead had more viewers than every single episode of True Blood, except for the Season 3 finale.
True Blood Debuted to 1.44 million people.
What happened to AMC? I miss my John Wayne and Clark Gable flicks!!

Firefighters are battling two brush fires near Rosman that are merging together and cover 15 to 20 acres, Rob Townley, N.C. Forest Service public information officer, said at 2 p.m. today.
Firefighters battled several brush fires near Rosman Friday, and about 40 acres of state and federal forest land had burned by 6 p.m.
The N.C. Forest Service was initially called out about 11 a.m. to U.S. Highway 64, where the fires threatened two homes, said Rob Townley, N.C. Forest Service public information officer. Firefighters were able to quickly contain the blaze and save the structures.
Two more fires broke out near Woodruff Road and onto federal forest land, Townley said. There were no structures in the way of the blaze.
Two fires merged and grew to cover about 40 acres by about 6 p.m., Townley said.
The N.C. Forest Service is working with the U.S. Forest Service and local fire departments. A command center has been set up at Victory Baptist Church.
More than 40 firefighters, two aircrafts and two bulldozers have been used to fight the flames, WSPA News Channel 7 reported.
"We don't really have a cause yet to what started the fires. Every fire, for us, is suspicious," Townley told WSPA.
Officials will investigate each fire separately, but they won't be able to do so until the flames are completely out, WSPA reported.

Cesar Millan Searches the Globe for Dog Lovers Who Have What It Takes to Be the "Leader of the Pack"
New Series Matches Abandoned Dogs With the Best Adoption Candidate to Provide a Permanent Home for a New Canine Companion
Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack Premieres Saturday, January 5, 2013, at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT on Nat Geo WILD.
"Not everyone can be a dog whisperer, but almost anyone can be a pack leader!"
- Cesar Millan
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12, 2012 -- There are too many dogs in the world without loving homes. Each year, millions of dogs across the world are abandoned due to seemingly insurmountable behavior issues, leaving them destined for lifelong incarceration or even euthanasia. What's a difficult dog to do? Luckily, now one very special human is looking out for them. A man known around the world for his incredible ability to rehabilitate dogs and train the humans who want to love them. A man with a remarkable instinct for understanding dogs.
That man is world-renowned dog behaviorist Cesar Millan, who is combating the global issue of canine abandonment and giving "unadoptable" dogs a second chance at life in his new Nat Geo WILD series Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack, premiering Saturday, January 5, 2013, at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. But Millan's biggest challenge may be training the candidates who are vying for a chance to give these dogs a new lease on life. For more information, visit www.natgeowild.com/leaderofthepack and www.cesarsway.com, and follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/NGC_PR.
Following the wild success of his long-running series Dog Whisperer, Millan's new show takes him to the beautiful country of Spain, where each week he transfers extreme canine cases to his new Dog Psychology Center in Miraflores, just outside of Madrid. In each episode, three candidates from either the U.K., Italy and the Netherlands compete for the chance to adopt one special pup, with their dog skills put to the test in a series of special Cesar Millan canine challenges. Meanwhile, Millan employs his "exercise, discipline and affection" method to overcome hurdles with dogs that are particularly skittish or aggressive to painstakingly rehabilitate each one and prepare them for adoption.
"Dog Whisperer had a passion, but Leader of the Pack has a mission," says Millan. "Now I am combining my passion with my lifelong mission to prevent the deaths of so many innocent dogs. My goal with this show is to awaken the world to how many dogs are euthanized in one year, how we kill them and how the world really treats what we call man's best friend. By recognizing what is really happening around the world, we can save the lives of millions of dogs by respecting their love."
To raise awareness about rescuing, rehabilitation and rehoming, Millan will go through a journey to show the difficult situation of rescued dogs and to demonstrate that it's not about the breed, age, size or the backstory of the dog; it's about the human who handles the dog.
"I don't believe any dog is hopeless," adds Millan. "Many people around the world adopt or purchase a dog they are not prepared for and make the unfortunate decision to abandon them. I'm excited to give some of these animals a new lease on life. By applying rehabilitation methods and instincts, through Leader of the Pack I can find the right match and provide happiness, as well as a more fulfilling life, for both the human and dog."
The potential owners vary from families or couples to a single person, but they all share one passion - they want to become the Leader of the Pack. The selection of the candidates is based on research on their backgrounds, homes, hobbies and lifestyles. Once at the center in Spain, Millan evaluates each potential adoptee through a series of assessments designed to gauge their canine compatibility - and identify any red flags - before choosing the dog's best match. The new "leader of the pack" will take the rehabilitated dog home to be safely introduced as the newest member of the family.
Among the dogs viewers will meet in the first three episodes are Jet, a black Labrador crossbreed that needs to learn basic manners and control his puppylike behavior; Brigadiere, a timid mix-breed shelter dog that resorts to biting when he is afraid; and Harry, a 7-year-old basset hound whose owner passed away and whose poor social skills have made it hard to find him a home.
Through the series and through his new book, "Cesar Millan's Short Guide to a Happy Dog" (available January 1, 2013), Millan's followers will learn how to find a compatible dog for their family and maybe one day become a leader of pack too.
Premiere episodes include:
Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack: Jet Power
Premieres Saturday, January 5, 2013, at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT
In the premiere episode, Cesar Millan takes on a big, strong black Labrador crossbreed named Jet that is so unruly he scares away possible adopters at the shelter. Jet travels to Spain, where hopeful contenders will learn how to teach him some basic manners and control his puppylike behavior. Kasper and Rachel are a young couple with previous experience rescuing dogs. They are looking for a canine companion to take on wilderness adventures. Glenn and Karen, a lounge singer and pub manager, respectively, recently married and have two daughters. They think a dog would complete their pack and want to make a good impression on Cesar. Jenni is a single woman with dozens of animals: four dogs, 11 cats, two horses, five sheep and 31 chickens. She lives surrounded by acres of woodlands in an environment where almost all of the animals move freely as they wish, even in the house. Cesar evaluates how the candidates approach and leash the excitable Jet and how they handle his obsession with toys before determining which is best suited to become Jet's new pack leader.
Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack: Love at First Bite
Premieres Saturday, January 12, 2013, at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT
Brigadiere is a mixed-breed dog that has been in a shelter for six months. He's timid, insecure and fearful of people. Just coaxing him out of his kennel can be a struggle. He was wandering the streets when a woman found him and wanted to keep him, but he tried to bite her. Brigadiere doesn't trust people and needs a leader who has real patience and understanding. Janne and her daughter Sofie already have three dogs, and lost their fourth earlier in the year. They want to adopt again to refill their pack. Ursula, an art professor, and Massimo, an art dealer, have two dogs already as well, but have never rescued a dog and are eager to do so. Finally, Renato grew up with dogs, but his wife Karin has never had one before. Karin loves a new challenge, though, and feels that as a couple they are ready to be good owners to a rescue dog. Cesar watches as the candidates practice "no touch, no talk, no eye contact" with Brigadiere, and observes as the candidates try to pet and brush Brigadiere, before deciding which candidate is the best match for the highly fearful dog.
Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack: When Harry Met Cesar
Premieres Saturday, January 19, 2013, at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT
Harry is an unlucky basset hound that was sent to a shelter when his owner passed away. At age 7, Harry is an older dog set in his ways, and his poor social skills have made it hard to find him a home. Cesar may be his last hope. Uzma and Lionel are psychotherapists and consider themselves human whisperers. Uzma admits to being fearful of dogs because of a bad experience as a child, but she is willing to overcome her fears to adopt a companion. Next, Daniela, a part-time dog groomer, and Mike, an ex-army captain, already have two rescue greyhounds and feel up to the challenges of a third rescue. Finally, the third candidates to meet Harry are sisters Abbey and Alice, and Alice's boyfriend Krystoff. They all live together in a big farmhouse and want to use a team approach to care for Harry. Cesar first asks the candidates to put a leash on Harry and introduce him to other dogs, and then they must walk Harry on leash in potentially stressful situations as he acclimates to the new task. After reviewing their differing approaches, Cesar must decide which candidate is the best to see Harry through his golden years.
Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack: Miles to Go
Premieres Saturday, January 26, 2013, at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT
Miles is a scrappy stray mutt often seen roaming around the streets near garbage cans, looking for his next meal. He has developed some bad habits, in particular food aggression. After a quick assessment, Cesar determines that Miles needs to learn some basic manners so that he doesn't literally bite the hand that feeds him. Candidates in this episode include Jan and her partner Marco, who live in the countryside and want to rescue a dog they can take on long walks. Lorenzo and his fiancée Anna already have one dog but are eager to adopt a second. Husband and wife Paul and Elizabeth and their family have already rescued one dog and also want to adopt a second to round out their family. Cesar first challenges the candidates to approach Miles calmly and return him to his kennel as smoothly as possible, before moving on to touching and grooming him in a way that does not cause him discomfort or alarm. The candidates who impress Cesar move one step closer to taking Miles home for good.
New York Times best-selling author Cesar Millan is one of the most sought-after specialists working in the field of dog rehabilitation. With more than 20 years of experience working with canines, Millan has been called "a Dr. Phil for dogs," and for good reason. He amazingly rehabilitates aggressive, scared, lazy, compulsive and jealous dogs, as well as the families who are usually in the dark about how their own behavior contributes to their dogs' quirky traits.

He drives the lane, spins and slips backward like a fading star. He returns to the lane and scores on a layup under two defenders like a kid.
He curls around the baseline, stops in front of the basket, and the ball is swatted from his hands as if he's a careless rookie. He then fakes a defender and hit an open bank shot like a star.
He is awful. He is great. He is sometimes slow. He is occasionally sneaky. He is, on the whole, precisely the opposite of the sort of point guard that everyone thought he would be.
Steve Nash is ordinary. He is Ramon Sessions. He is the Derek Fisher. He is decidedly not Steve Nash.
During the Lakers' 91-85 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night at Staples Center, Nash sank a couple of runners late to save his team from embarrassment and was good enough for 10 points and eight assists. But in a season that has cried out for the sort of magic he once used to taunt Lakers fans, he once again only taunted them with his lack of it.

Record highs: Time to celebrate or hunker down?
Stocks keep notching all-time highs, but investors aren't sure if that's reason to celebrate their riches or to hunker down and prepare for the party to end.
Anyone who keeps worrying that the market's impressive run is about to peter out keeps missing out on gains. So, the pile-on continues as the market keeps slowly-but-steadily pushing to unseen heights. "Bull market psychology is controlling the day," says Michael Farr of Farr Miller & Washington. "We discount bad news and embrace all good news."
Talk about a party that never seems to quit. The Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 jumped Friday to notch new all-time highs, while the Nasdaq composite set a 14-year high. The Dow closed Friday at 16,947, just 53 points or a good day away from hitting 17,000. While the day-to-day gains are relatively small, they're adding up to a powerful rally. The broad S&P 500 is up 6.2%, putting it on pace to post another good year.
MARKETS BLOG: 7 'sleeper stocks' paying off for investors now
Investors want to stay bullish about the market because:
• Policymakers are supporting the run. Investors took the testimony from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen as an all-clear sign, Farr says. Yellen suggested last week that stocks are not particularly overvalued and indicated that the Fed is standing ready to stoke the economy if needed. That
encourages investors to own stocks, Farr says. "The Fed is the wind at our backs."
• Sitting out isn't an option. Moves by central banks around the world make it costly to not be involved in stocks, says Doug Sandler of Riverfront Investment Group. With interest rates low and an uptick inflation a possibility, holding cash is one way that appears to be a loser no matter what. "Investors recognize the penalty from sitting on the sidelines," Sandler says.
• Earnings support the rally. If stocks were rising without underlying profit power from companies, investors would get more concerned, Sandler says. Companies are expected to post nearly 7% earnings growth in the current second quarter, says S&P Capital IQ. That's more than double the earnings growth of the first quarter, and a powerful signal since corporate earnings are already at record levels. "This is still a market with a reasonable amount of upside," Sandler says.
There are worries. If the situation in Iraq keeps oil prices elevated, that could be an "economic headwind" for the market to overcome, Farr says. Though the Fed hasn't indicated it would, if it sets a deadline for "taking its foot off the gas" and sticks with it even if the economy isn't ready, stocks could suffer, Sandler says.
But for now, investors are enjoying an impressive run that some don't see winding down soon. "Everyone wants to be nervous," Sandler says. "But we can't find a reason."

News Editor
January 13, 2007
John Kasberger received a dramatic introduction worthy an Elvis' entrance.
Mike Doke, the 2005 Chamber Member of the Year, strung out some facts about Kasberger before handing him the 2006 Chamber of Year plaque Thursday night.
Kasberger, senior vice president at Columbia River Bank in Hood River, was introduced by Doke with suspense, and humor, befitting the "Viva Las Vegas" theme of the occasion: the Hood River Chamber of Commerce Installation dinner, at the Gorge Room at Best Western Hood River Inn. About 150 people attended the event. Highlights were the installation of new directors and officers, thanks to departing directors, and a performance by Elvis performer Justin Shandor.
Doke revealed these facts about Kasberger: raised in Prineville, father of two children, lover of good cigars and beer, fisherman with a tendency to fall from boats, a man heard to run out of gas and suffer poison oak more than once, and lover of peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
Doke planted a kiss on the cheek of Kasberger, Hood River branch manager of Columbia River Bank, who wore an Elvis tie for the occasion.
"Wow," was all Kasberger could say at first, after taking the podium to accept the 2006 Member of the Year.
"You could knock me over with a straw right now," said Kasberger, who also earned a Business Team Leader honor from the bank last year.
"The list of people (honored as Chamber Member of the Year) is full of great people. I am honored to be on that list," he said.
"John is always there. He's been a very reliable and consistent member," Doke said. "He's been active on the Chamber board and has been since he started, and is very involved in the Ambassador program. Through his work with the bank, he helps the Chamber and Ambassadors stay connected to the business community."
Kasberger will be no stranger to the Chamber podium a year from now. As president-elect he will take the gavel from 2007 president Ray Felton.
Felton thanked the business people of Hood River County in his closing remarks, and gave a send-off for 2007:
"We face some challenges this year, but we have great people, great staff, and great businesses and I know we will meet those challenges. May this year be a positive one, both personally and for your business."

Cowboys – Falcons Notes
The Dallas Cowboys are slowly getting healthy. Early on this season we have seen our share of injuries for the Cowboys but none major and it is something every team deals with. I would love to say that all the bumps and bruises are healed and everyone is 100% for this weekends up coming game against the tough Atlanta Falcons but alas that is not the case. However it does appear Running Back Felix Jones will be back in the huddle after dealing with a sprained knee. It remains to be seen how much he will be given but it will be nice to see the youngster out there. He will be wearing a knee brace for the game and has practiced with it all week so he should be fine. Coach Phillips Said Jones "Looks Fast" during practice.
Jones running mate Marion Barber and his banged up Quad are improving each week and should be the Cowboys number one back this weekend even though he has a broken thumb. He will wear a brace on that thumb and the good thing is it is not his main ball carrying hand. This will be the first time in a few weeks the Boys will have all three of their backs healthy enough to play together with Tashard Choice picking up the slack.
Newly signed Allen Rossum will get his first action in a Cowboys uniform this weekend as he will return both kicks and punts on Sunday. The return game has been an adventure early on this season and the Cowboys are hoping Rossum can turn it around and give them a new weapon on special teams. ESPN is reporting that having Rossum as an active player puts the Cowboys in a tough situation for the 45 man roster because they will have too many bodies and not enough spots. Safety Mike Hamlin's broken wrist is healthy enough for him to play on special teams but Coach Wade Phillips is not sure if he is going to activate him. Dallas will use five of their roster spots on special teamers Rossum, punter Mat McBriar, Kicker Nick Folk, L.P. Ladouceur, and David Buehler.
Wide Receiver Roy Williams says he will play but is listed as probable on the injury report. Coach Phillips said he is "concerned for Williams health" and has been playing with discomfort in practice this week due to his bruised ribs. If he is able to go he will be wearing some kind of padding on his boo boo ribs, but I expect to see Roy out there.
Outside Linebacker Demarcus Ware did all the necessary individual and team drills this week but did skip a few because of the stress fracture he is dealing with in his left foot. "We don't want to overdue it with him," coach Wade Phillips said. And last but not least we are all tired of the Patrick Crayton Miles Austin controversy. Both will play but Austin surely earned the spot of the number 2 receiver and Crayton will just have to stop whining about how Phillips may or may not have handled it. Wth the team getting stronger lets go out and "Earn" a big win against one of the NFC's better teams.

Boss's Bulbous Glands have been noticeable a lot so at first I assumed it was the same thing...only bigger? It honestly just felt like liquid and was only on one side of his penis.
His incision site looks fine-no abnormal redness or seeping, but today the 'bag' of fluid seems more solid, and I think is a little bit warmish...Not hot by any means, but I think it's warmer than usual. He seems like he might be in a little bit of pain--i.e. he is hesitant about hopping onto the bed, or into a lap...up until now we have had to do all we can to prevent him from hopping on things...so that is kind of a red flag.
Someone has mentioned it could be a seroma, which I understand isn't a very serious problem, but now that he seems to be in pain I am a little more concerned. Does it sound like an infection to you guys? They have been wearing their e-collars at all times while crated up until yesterday, so I know he hasn't been irritating it by licking it.
I am calling our vet in the morning, but I was hoping I could get some feedback as soon as possible as to whether I should be concerned, or call the e-vet or what. I'm just worried!
For a second there I was thinking that maybe "they forgot to remove one"... glad you're getting it checked out tomorrow.

Beirut: At least 100 jihadists from the Islamic State group have been killed in three days of fighting for the strategic Syrian border town of Kobane, a monitor said on Saturday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the deaths brought the total number of IS fighters killed in the ground battle for Kobane to 576 since clashes there began on September 16.
"Over the last three days, at least 100 members of the Islamic State and its religious police have been killed... In Kobane and its surroundings," the Britain-based group said.
It said the IS members had come from Aleppo and Raqa provinces to take part in the battle for the town, which is being defended by members of the Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG.
The group also said 15 YPG fighters had been killed in clashes in Kobane on Friday, and another 11 jihadists died in air strikes by a US-led coalition in both Kobane and Raqa province.
Overall, 958 people have been killed in the battle for Kobane -- 576 Is jihadists, 361 YPG fighters and allied forces and 21 civilians, according to the Observatory.
More than 180,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict since it began in March 2011, says the Observatory, which relies on a network of sources on inside Syria for its reports.

International Women's Day: Inspiring better futures for young rural women
Held at IFAD, the event brought together Mr. Kanayo F. Nwanze, President of IFAD, Mr. José Graziano da Silva, FAO Director-General, Ms. Sheila Sisulu, WFP Deputy Executive Director, H.E. Ertharin Cousin, US Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies in Rome, H.E. Angie Motshekga, Minister of Basic Education of South Africa, technical officers and young rural women come to share their experiences and hopes.
Mr. Nwanze opened the event by expressing the urgency of creating more vibrant rural areas where young women and men can imagine attractive futures for themselves, where they have access to a range of employment opportunities and where they can view agriculture as a desirable career path.
He underlined the fact that creating better conditions is especially important for young rural women whose potential is held back by multiple disadvantages: "Young rural women are held back by location, by age and by gender. They face the same obstacles as boys living in rural areas – they are limited by lack of access to land, markets, finance, education and training. And their youth limits the amount of control they have over their lives. But they are also held back by cultural and social norms. As a result, they are even less likely than boys to finish school and are more likely to be married early, with the added risk of multiple births, ill-health, and gender-based violence."
Mr. José Graziano da Silva, FAO Director General, speaks of the urgency of creating more vibrant environments for rural youth.
Mr. Graziano da Silva laid out the priorities to give young rural women better opportunities: developing better gender-sensitive policies; implementing legal reforms that give women full economic rights; building equal access to knowledge and education; supporting strong, equitable and inclusive rural institutions; and encouraging women's full and meaningful participation in decision making.
He also took the opportunity of International Women's Day to announce the launch of FAO's Policy on Gender Equality: Attaining Food Security Goals in Agriculture and Rural Development, which provides the organization with a framework to achieve gender equality in all its technical work. The policy also commits FAO to integrating sex-disaggregated data in major statistical databases by 2015 and to targeting 30 percent of its operational work and budget at the regional and country levels to women-specific interventions by 2017.
Ms. Sisulu reiterated the importance of supporting rural institutions, which play a very important role in developing young women's capacities, a point also underlined by Mr. Nwanze who explained that evidence shows young women do better when involved in community associations. Ms. Sisulu also evoked the need to reinforce innovative partnerships with the private sectors to create better work opportunities, adding "When we achieve equality of opportunities, the world will never be the same again. We will usher in a new era of food security and sustainable development."
Strategies that build better environments for men and women
Ms. Clare Bishop-Sambrook from IFAD, Ms. Marcela Villarreal from FAO and Ms. Isatou Jallow from WFP discuss programmes that contribute to creating better opportunities for women in rural areas.
Ms.Clare Bishop-Sambrook of IFAD's Policy and Technical Advisory Division described the agency's work in outreach and mentoring in smallholder agricultural households, a relatively new type of intervention that help women and men share both their work and their income more equally. This approach has resulted in better cooperation and higher household production with concrete gains for both the women and men involved. Women have gained self-esteem, more secure control over land and resources, greater involvement in decisions about income and expenditure, and increased access to rural financial services, while men's level of alcohol consumption has decreased.
Ms. Marcela Villarreal, Director of FAO's Gender, Equity and Rural Employment Division, reiterated the crucial importance of creating opportunities in farming that match young people's aspirations in order to stem the flow of migration to big cities and abroad. She talked of the Junior Farmer Field and Life School (JFFLS) developed in partnership with the International Labour Organization. The JFFLS provide young rural women and men with agricultural as well as life skills, preparing them for a better future. "Through the JFFLS, young men and women develop skills that are recognized by their communities as well as a sense of agency. They learn about risks in agriculture and in their own lives and how to make decisions to avert these risks," further explaining that the JFFLS have played an important role in igniting young people's interest in pursuing a career in agriculture.
Isatou Jallow, Chief of WFP's Women, Children and Gender Division discussed the Purchase for Progress (P4P) programme, through which WFP buys directly from smallholder farmers to constitute their food aid stocks, and that is designed to fully include women smallholder farmers.
The event came to a close with the words of Ms. Yvette Azane Ngwemetoh, a young woman from Bamende in north-west Cameroun, who, for lack of economic opportunities in her region, migrated to Douane, the country's economic capital, and from there to Rome, Italy in search of a better future. "If we had the right conditions, if we had the support to forge ahead, we would stay. I could live my dream of working on our land."

T-Mobile G1 "running" Ice Cream Sandwich caught on video

Proves that old android phones are still powerful.

It is actually more like a proof of concept. Yes it can run it. Not very practical, but cool nonetheless. People have made Windows XP boot on a PC sporting an underclocked 7MHz Pentium processor with 24MB of RAM. Yes, it runs, but it doesn't make that PC powerful, does it?
4. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
Sorry. Lol.
Maybe I should have said, powerful enough to incorporate present technology even if it's struggling. :p
6. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Nick, I think that it's too early to say. I've seen the G1 run Gingerbread quite comfortably - when it's overclocked and everything.
I'm sure that with proper optimization and\or overclocking - it will be capable of running ICS quite smoothly actually.
5. skymitch89 (Posts: 1433; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
That music was fairly interesting. I believe that if the G1 can run ICS, then phones like the G2 and EVO Shift should have no problem running it. Just have to wait and see what HTC, Motorola, Samsung, etc. do about their "older" phones.

my guess would be no, especially if its a phone stuck on 2.2. The phone manufactures have little interest in doing updates, and the same with the carriers. Most of the time they do push throuhg updates its to fix issues with the phone, OS updates are an afterthought typically.

This just proves how terribly unoptimized Android is. Even in the latest version. Look at how smooth Symbian Belle is on N8, which has only a bit faster processor then G1:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v

You have to understand that Android is looking to the future, not the past. ICS is a power hog and it brings a lot of eye candy and features that old phones with slow processors and low ram cannot possibly run smooth on.

Well, the more processing power hungry OS is, the faster it drains battery. And in my opinion, battery performance is much more important than some funky transitions...

True but they are making batteries larger and larger and also providing better battery saving functions.

As awesome as the idea is I would go crazy over the lag.
