Patrick "Kit" Bobko is the mayor of Hermosa Beach, again.
On a City Council that rotates the mayor and vice mayor positions, Bobko stepped back into the role he had in 2007, replacing outgoing Mayor Jeff Duclos at Tuesday night's City Council meeting.
Among Bobko's priorities is working closely with the city's schools to ensure students' safety and undertaking a more goal-oriented approach to the city's budget and policies during his mayoral term.
As a first step toward working with the Hermosa Beach City School District, city council and the school board will hold a joint public meeting Wednesday to discuss school safety. Mayor Bobko is requesting that the city's police and fire departments conduct a complete assessment of school safety to determine if additional safety measures are needed within the next 120 days.
"There is no more important issue than the safety of our children, especially in our schools," he said. "We will be strengthening the partnership between city departments and school officials to determine the best ways to protect our students."
On tap for the public meeting on Wednesday is a discussion of the oil production project proposed by E&B Natural Resources Management Corp. The city is reviewing E&B's application for the proposed project and will soon launch an environmental review of it. The city also plans to commission studies of the proposed project's potential economic and health impacts on the community.
After the city completes the environmental review process under the California Environmental Quality Act and the project has met all CEQA requirements, a measure will be placed on the ballot for Hermosa Beach voters to decide whether to repeal the city's ban on drilling and allow the proposed project to go forward. The election is expected to be held in 2014.
"The city council's role is to ensure the public is fully informed and has the tools it needs to knowledgeably cast ballots about the proposed oil project," said Bobko. "We will be reaching out and engaging the public over the next year to provide residents with the information they need to make this vital decision about the future of our community."
The Wednesday meeting, open to the public, will be held from 7-9 p.m. in the Hermosa Beach Council Chambers, 1315 Valley Drive.
The new mayor has also vowed to adopt a goal-oriented approach to budgeting and city priorities. To this end, city council recently launched a process to create a vision for the city and a set of guiding goals that will inform the public about council's priorities. Council and city leaders are working with a professional consultant, and met for two lengthy sessions in December with a day-long session set for Feb. 9 to develop goals.
"Once we have defined our priorities, our next step is making sure the city's policies and its budget are aligned with those priorities," Bobko said. "By staying focused and working together, we can take the important steps needed for the city to achieve the goals we have defined."
Bobko said he will strive to make city council meetings more environmentally friendly and accessible to the public. To do so, he is proposing council become a paper-free organization by shifting to electronic records. To make meetings more accessible to the public, he is asking for the agenda to be displayed on a screen behind the dais, and will strive to end all council meetings by 10 p.m.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as mayor once again," said Bobko. "I wish to extend my congratulations to my predecessor, Jeff Duclos. He contributed countless hours to the city during his term as mayor. We all thank him for his dedication and his service."
Councilman Michael DiVirgilio became the new vice mayor Tuesday night, replacing Bobko in that post.
Bobko was first elected to the Hermosa Beach city council in June 2006 and re-elected in November 2009. He was appointed to the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1987 by then-President Ronald Reagan. After graduating from the academy in 1991, he entered the Air Force, rising to the rank of captain and supporting a front-line squadron of F-16 jets.
The native Californian received an honorable discharge in 1996, later earning a master's degree in philosophy from the University of South Carolina and a juris doctorate from George Washington University Law School. Since earning his law degree, Bobko has spent his career representing cities and local governments. He is a shareholder in the litigation department and the appellate law practice group at the Richards, Watson & Gershon law firm.

In the Tall Grass (edition 2012)

In the Tall Grass by Stephen King
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
OMG and gross.
Excellent! A good old-fashioned horror story, classic. It's short so you should read it, now.
short and gruesome. a little gem
In the Tall Grass by father and son duo; Stephen King and Joe Hill is old school horror. The kind of short story that is a visceral slash to the jungular. There is no wasting time and words on explaining all the reasons you should be scared, they just do it.
"...If we had shadows, they'd be getting long and we might use them to move in the same direction, at least, he thought, but they had no shadows. Not in the tall grass. He looked at his watch and wasn't surprised to see it had stopped even though it was a self-winder. The grass had stopped it. He felt sure of it. Some malignant vibe in the grass; some paranormal Fringe shit..."
Brother and sister, Becky and Cal are traveling across the country to leave Becky with her uncle and aunt. Pregnant and soon to be a single mother, Becky is moving in with her aunt and uncle to have the baby and then decide what to do after that. Cal, her devoted brother, is helping her. As they pass a field of tall grass they hear the cries of a child. They pull over and listen to the screams of the lost child and the maddenning screams of its mother to quiet down. Becky and Cal step out of their vehicle to go in search of the child. And it is here, when they step into the field of tall grass that all goes wrong.
The mother and child, are hiding in the grass from the child's father. The father; Ross Humbolt, knows the secrets of the grass. Becky and Cal search for the child but distance and time change in the tall grass and soon they too are lost. Becky is found by Ross Humbolt soon after the cries of the child and mother have gone silent.
"...There was blood splashed on the grass beyond the swatches he was holding open and Becky wanted to stop but her feet carried her forward and he even stepped aside a little like in one of those other old movies where the suave guy says After you doll and they enter the swanky nightclub where the jazz combo's playing only this was no swanky nightclub this was a beaten-down swatch of grass where the woman Natalie Humbolt if that was her name was lying all twisted with her eyes bulging and her dress pushed up to show great big divots in her thighs and Becky guessed she knew now why Ross Humbolt of Poughkeepsie had such red lips and one of Natalie's arms was torn off at the shoulder and lying ten feet beyond her in crushed grass already springing back up and there were more great big red divots in the arm and the read was still wet because...because..."
There is a stone in the tall grass. A great stone that has been there for a long time. This stone tells the secrets of the tall grass and it is only this stone that lets you survive. Only what will you do to survive in the tall grass.
This is not some story about choices. There is no morality tale here. This is horror, rated R Twilight Zone, with the curtains drawn back and Rod Serling a lot darker that sixties television would ever let him be.
A great short tale.
This is a novella by Stephen King and his son, Joe Hill. While I enjoyed the story, there seemed to be something missing. The end seemed to come abruptly and I was left hanging. At first I thought that part of the book was missing. Still, it's written in typical King style, taking a simple field of grass in Nowhere, Kansas, and turning it into something frightening.
Brother and sister are heading west and stop in Kansas. From the weeds across the road they hear a child calling for help. They cross the road and enter the tall grass and the terror begins.

Justin Timberlake's comeback single, "Suit and Tie," is on track to sell an estimated 330,000 to 350,000 downloads in its first week, making it his best sales week ever for a song, Billboard reports.
Though the song is currently only available on iTunes, early forecasts put sales for "Suit and Tie" – the first single from Timberlake's long-awaited new album The 20/20 Experience – around 400,000. While it may not hit that mark, the new estimate greatly surpasses first week sales for 2006's "SexyBack," which had 250,000 downloads.
Photos: Justin Timberlake Through the Years
"Suit and Tie" will debut on Billboard's Hot 100 this week, most likely in the charts' lower half, on the strength of radio play alone. Next week, however, once sales and streaming are factored in, the track could compete for the top spot.
Only seven songs in the past year have debuted with 300,000 or more sales, with the biggest seller being Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" at 623,000.

Quote:Really intrigued by the ZEQ25 now. Watched the videos from the other thread a few times and think that this would be a great mount for my new toy (AT111EDT APO Triplet) that just arrived on Friday. It's down to this and the Celestron VX to replace my CG5.
Quote:It does work with Starry Nights Pro and Cirques du Ciel at the moment. And also with The Sky as of this week. All that remains is a useable version to link to SkySafari or Orions StarSeek and it will be truly versatile.
Quote:Any updates on how your enjoying your ZEQ25?
Quote:Paul any chance you could post some PE results for this mount, perhaps with Pempro or similar. Pempro do offer a free trial.
Quote:@ Astronewb (Paul): if possible i need tracking tests of this mount. Take an APS-C camera+200mm lens or FF camera+ 300mm. Take exps at ~0° DEC, unguided, of 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5m, 4m. Look at results and let me know when trailing is perceptible, u can shoot in jpg fine. No raw needed for this kind of test.Thx
Quote:No trees are important. Important is being at celestial equator. Pls let me know as u got new results....
Quote:It looks to me like OTA conflicts with the tripod are much more likely.
Quote:Quote:Paul any chance you could post some PE results for this mount, perhaps with Pempro or similar. Pempro do offer a free trial. I will do that as soon as I can. Just got updated drive pulleys and belts from iOptron, same as current shipping mounts. As soon as I get them installed and a clear night, I can convert some PHD logs w/PecPrep to see what it looks like. Cheers,Paul
Quote:I know that's not the resident (raw) PE, but I couldn't spare the time to turn off auto guiding to log it. I estimate it's about 20 arc seconds peak to peak, or less.

Project: Teach Street Law
"The Teach Street Law program gives law students the opportunity to use what they have learned in law school to teach at-risk high school students in the Roanoke school system practical lessons about their legal rights and responsibilities. W&L students develop lesson plans to teach students about legal issues that directly affect their lives: constitutional and civil rights, local government regulations, criminal procedure, public benefits law, juvenile justice law, foster care law, domestic relations law, housing law and procedures for interacting with police. By giving these students a legal structure in which to frame their civic interactions, we enable them to more clearly identify injustices in their communities and to better assert their rights as citizens."
"In one course, a classmate and I developed a simple curriculum built around a set of scripted video clips of police traffic and pedestrian stops, each showing a 'right' and 'wrong' way to answer police questions. The students were enthusiastic to hear how they should act in these situations and were eager to tell us when they thought that a clip was relevant to their experiences. After discussing the videos and explaining strategies for implementing the lessons in their lives, we opened the floor up to questions from the students' personal experiences. Much of what we heard reinforced what we had learned in our constitutional law and criminal procedure classes about how people sacrifice their rights thinking that the police have their best interests in mind. By teaching these students what rights they have and what kinds of questions they are not required to answer, we gave them some tools they could use to stay out of serious trouble down the road."

Project: Project Horizon
"During my second and third years of law school, I volunteered at Project Horizon. Project Horizon is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing domestic, dating, and sexual violence. Project Horizon provides direct services as well as outreach programs. As a volunteer, I was involved in these services in various capacities. Mostly, I monitored the local crisis hotline. I also participated in Project Horizon events such as Family Fun Time, and assisted in the daily needs of the emergency shelter. Project Horizon also provides legal advocacy to support victims of sexual and domestic violence. Volunteering at an organization that is not based solely on legal services was an important experience for me. I was constantly reminded of the practical necessities and concerns of victims that, often times, are more pressing than legal needs. My experience at Project Horizon has better equipped me to assist clients with a holistic approach, which, I believe, is invaluable to legal practice."

Project: Court-Appointed Criminal Defense
"During this semester I will be working with Jeff Stevens, attorney-at-law, in his office in Barboursville, West Virginia. Mr. Stevens is a member of the West Virginia Bar and provides criminal defense services to court-appointed clients who cannot personally afford legal counsel. I will be assigned cases for which I will provide legal research, draft court documents for Mr. Stevens' review, and attend hearings. When possible, I will be present at client interviews and appear with Mr. Stevens in court. This service project will provide me with first-hand experience in criminal law, legal research and writing, and evidence. I look forward to this opportunity to help defend the rights of those who cannot afford legal counsel."

Project: Southwestern Virginia Innocence Project
"The Southwestern Virginia Innocence Project (SVIP) works in conjunction with the Mid Atlantic Innocence Project to exonerate men and women who are currently incarcerated for crimes they did not commit. Our clients have generally exhausted other potential remedies and a writ of actual innocence is their last hope. Our organization gathers evidence and investigates each case in order to develop theories of innocence. If, based on our findings, we feel we have a strong case, we petition the governor for a pardon or seek an appeal under the Virginia Innocence Statute."
"I chose this project because I can think of nothing worse than having your freedom taken from you without reason. As a member of SVIP, I am able to advocate for people who would otherwise have nowhere to turn. This is not only an invaluable learning experience for me, but an opportunity to make a true difference, however small, in the reformation of a flawed justice system."

When the late Joerg Haider, the hard-right populist governor of the southern Austrian state of Carinthia, sold most of his government's stake in Hypo Group Alpe Adria in 2007, he said, beaming: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Carinthia is rich."
BayernLB, which like many other German landesbanken appears to have never met a toxic asset it didn't like, had just paid 1.65 billion euros for a 50 percent stake in Hypo. Around half of that went into Haider's government's coffers.
True to his pork-barrel politics, Haider used the funds to, among other things, subsidise Carinthian teenagers' driving licence fees, scrap kindergarten fees, and pay out cash to Carinthian families to "offset inflation" in 2008, conveniently timed shortly before an election.
This worked to cement Haider's image as the generous leader looking after the man on the street. But since his death in a car crash last year, it shows that the basis of this policy was not sustainable. Hypo is now in urgent need of another year-end emergency capital injection of more than 1 billion euros, after it went cap in hand to the Austrian government and BayernLB for 1.6 billion euros last year already.
Hypo's breakneck expansion in the former Yugoslavia is the main reason for its continued losses this year. Haider and his confidante, ex-CEO Wolfgang Kulterer, started and presided over this expansion, which let Hypo's balance sheet balloon to more than four times what it was in 2002. (This is the same Kulterer who pleaded guilty last year of false accounting during his time as Hypo CEO.)

A NOTE TO AUDIENCES: Because films in the AFI Latin American Film Festival have not been evaluated by the MPAA rating system in the US, AFI has made its best effort to inform audiences about any content that could lead to a restricted rating if released here. The following is a guide:
Matías Piñeiro's spritely adaptation of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," set among contemporary Buenos Aires hipsters, would make both the Bard and Eric Rohmer, the French New Wave's resident contempo-classicist, proud. The action shifts from an all-female Shakespeare production, to rehearsals, to reality and back again as the women contemplate love and relationships in the big city. Manohla Dargis of The New York Times proclaimed the film "wonderfully inventive...a triumph of narrative imagination and bottom line ingenuity." Official Selection, 2012 Toronto Film Festival; 2013 Berlin, New Director/New Films Film Festivals.
DIR/SCR Matías Piñeiro; PROD Melanie Schapiro. Argentina/US, 2012, color, 65 min, DCP. In Spanish with English subtitles. NOT RATED L
A precursor to VIOLA in both its joyful tone and imaginative vision, Matías Piñero's first brush with Shakespeare follows a troupe of young actors who retire to an island getaway to rehearse "As You Like It." The movie begins with heartbreak: Luisa, who plays Rosalinda, breaks up with her boyfriend on her cellphone. But as the day progresses and she gets deeper into character, the play starts to overtake reality, as she now finds herself the object of affection of her eccentric castmates. NOT RATED L

Opening Night: Thu, Sep 19, 7:30 (also screening Sat, Sep 21, 3:00)
Roberto Bermúdez (Ricardo Darín, THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES) is a well-respected law professor and celebrated author whose life is changed forever when a young woman's body is found just outside his classroom window. Convinced that his star pupil, the all-too charming Gonzalo (Alberto Ammann), is behind the murder and plotting his next kill, Roberto risks his life, prestige and perhaps even his sanity to prove Gonzalo's guilt.

Spanish filmmaker Javier Rebollo's oddball road movie centers on an aging, cancer-stricken hitman, Santos (José Sacristán), who goes on the lam in his Ford Falcon after flaking out on his most recent assignment. Stealing away from his Buenos Aires hospital bed, he hits the road and heads north, hoping to make it to Bolivia. Along the way he's joined by fellow traveler Alejandra (Lisa Caligaris), a woman seeking change in her own life, who impulsively jumps in the car with Santos at a highway gas station. Making their way across the stunning Argentine landscape, stumbling upon decrepit resort towns described as "a strange mix of paradise and apocalypse," Rebollo's quirky picaresque has both an offhand charm and a light sense of gravitas.

TERRE HAUTE — If college football worked the way social media does, Indiana State running back Shakir Bell would be trending nationwide.
Bell's 349-yard rushing performance in ISU's 27-10 football victory over Drake last Saturday has garnered Bell plenty of coast-to-coast attention.
For the second season in a row, Bell earned The Sports Network's National Offense Player of the Week honors for the Football Championship Subdivision. Last year, Bell shared the award after his 256-yard school-record setting game against Youngstown State.
This time, Bell has the honor to himself. Bell's 349-yard rushing performance was the eighth-best in FCS history, which dates to the early 1980s.
While Bell earns the hardware, per usual, he spreads the credit around to his teammates.
"The records that we set, and I say it all the time, it's records we set, I couldn't be prouder of my guys. I'm proud of my offensive line and all of the guys who blocked downfield, the wide receivers and those guys too," Bell said Saturday.
Bell is also starting to receive attention on the NFL Draft front. He was mentioned in an ESPN NFL Draft-related column on Monday. Bell, a junior, would be draft-eligible in 2013 if he elected to leave ISU early and declare for the draft.
On Sunday, Bell was named Missouri Valley Football Conference Player of the Week. It's the third time Bell has earned the honor.
ISU also made its debut in the FCS coaches' poll as it is ranked 25th. ISU has been ranked in The Sports Network's media/sports information director's poll from the beginning of the season. ISU remained 22nd in the poll released Monday.
ISU is one of five MVFC teams ranked in the TSN poll. North Dakota State is top-ranked, Youngstown State is 4th, Northern Iowa is 8th and Illinois State is 15th.
South Dakota State, which is receiving votes, will visit Memorial Stadium on Saturday in ISU's next contest.
* Thompson update — Drake linebacker Alex Thompson, who was hospitalized after he was hit by ISU tight end Myles Walker during last Saturday's opening kickoff, has been released and has returned to Drake's Des Moines, Iowa campus.
According to Drake's sports information department, Thompson had a disc pushed under his c3 vertebrae and it caused him numbness. He is in a neck brace, but is walking. Thompson spoke to his Drake teammates on Monday.

Funny things happen when you mix oil and water. Any elementary science fair participant can tell you the results. You can shake and stir the concoction, but without an emulsifier they will never blend. Before long, the irregular blobs of oil join together, attracted to their own likeness. Although sharing the same glass, the slippery drops of lipids bond and form a layer above the rest.
Being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse is no different. Something indescribable within us invites people of similar backgrounds to enter our worlds. In the darkness, our lights attract one another like fireflies meeting in the moonless night sky. It's rather odd really.
At a counseling session once, I asked the therapist about this occurrence. Of all the super powers to attain, having radar for pain isn't the one I would have chosen. But, according to the doctor, it is common in those who have experienced abuse. Survivors, she believed, can pick out others who have shared a similar past with remarkable accuracy. I have yet to find any concrete scientific data to explain, or even corroborate, this notion. But deep in my gut, I know it's as real as the abuse itself.
Take my own relationships. Two of my very best guy friends were sexually molested at a young age, both by family members. The world likes to think that only diabolical strangers hurt children. Not true. Eighty to 90 percent of abuse cases are perpetrated by either a family member or someone else the child knows and trusts. Until we understand that this sickness happens under the supposed safety of our own roofs, we'll never be able to truly come to terms with its devastating consequences.
Back to the point at hand — for my friends, the after effects have been profound. Romantic relationships, including marriages, have suffered. That underlying need for an unrelenting love can never be quenched, so they hopped from one girl to the next in hopes of discovering something that only lies within their own mind. The glass can never be filled as long as the bowl of self-acceptance and understanding remains empty. As the saying goes, it takes one to know one. And I know. In my early 20s, I did the same.
One of my friends doesn't agree with my theory on survivors finding one another. He says I give the perpetrators and their acts too much power. They didn't change us on the inside. We're friends because of our other likenesses, not because of the traumatic experiences we had as children. Then, he argues, there are the statistics. One in three women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime. One in five men will suffer a similar fate. With those high numbers, how can you not be friends with a sexual abuse survivor?
OK, he has some valid points. But maybe I wanted something good to come out of the abuse. These friendships have helped me cope. I can't help but to wonder if there's not something more to it than just blind luck. Everything happens for a reason, right?
Of course, we are each on our own separate journey. No one knows the pain another is going through. But we can talk about it with people who have experienced similar circumstances. For those survivors who do not have anyone to discuss their feelings with, groups like SOAR ministries here in Southern Indiana (www.soarministry.org) help foster the healing process.
Likewise, R.I.S.E is another organization that promotes exorcising those hidden demons by letting go of your secrets. Telling your story and opening up to others is one of the first steps. Visit their website riseaboveabuse.org to discover more.
Most everyone knows what oil does in a glass of H2O. But did you know enough oil slicked over tumultuous waters actually has a calming effect? Only relatively small concentrations of the liquid are needed to spread out over the waves and quiet their crashing roar.
Survivors are the same. We too need to ban together and help each other soothe the anger and hurt of childhood sexual abuse. Like a drop of oil, a little spot of friendship could go a long way.

The financially-troubled US Postal Service announced Wednesday that in order to save $2 billion annually, it would seek to end the traditional delivery of the Saturday mail beginning in August.
Packages would still be delivered. Mail addressed to PO Boxes will still be delivered on Saturdays. Post Offices currently open on Saturdays will remain open on Saturdays.
But advertisements, bills and birthday cards destined for street addresses would be held until Monday.
The reasons are continued economic struggles and the increasing use of the Internet for communications and bill paying by consumers. The U.S. Postal Service is also the only federal agency required to pre-fund health benefits for retirees, and the costs are escalating quickly.
What do you think?

Ron Spigelman, who used to be the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra's Principal Pops Conductor, was born in Australia but he is a Buffalonian at heart. He proved that at Kleinhans Music Hall this morning at the Coffee Concert, which was "Classic Christmas."
After Engelbert Humperdinck's Prelude to "Hansel and Gretel," which opened the concert, Spigelman turned to face the big audience.
"There are a couple of morals to that story," he said. "One of them is: Don't eat doughnuts! Not good for you!"
Ha, ha! The crowd, which included a lot of schoolchildren, completely lost it.
Who has not been chewing on that cupcake situation out in Derby, where a principal is banning kids' birthday cupcakes? The food police are at the gates! Spigelman, who may have read the paper, fed into that.
"And gingerbread!" he lectured us. "Horrible!"
The audience howled.
"Just kidding," Spigelman said.

Sept. 4, 2013 — On Saturday, Aug. 31, new KCU Head Coach Gene Peterson and the Knights traveled to Indianapolis to take on the Knights of Marian University, the defending NAIA National Champion and 2013 Pre-season #2 team.
The blue and gold Knights however defeated the red and black knights 23-0 in a weather shortened game.
Because of the weather anomaly in southern Indiana, the game will be remembered for more than just the score. There was significant rain prior to the game, and while there was low pressure in the atmosphere, the game itself was high-pressure for the Knights.
The game began slowly, but Marian scored a field goal just a few moments into the second quarter.
A KCU punt led to Marian's first score, a two-yard run by junior running back Tevin Lake on an eight-play, 38-yard drive to put MU up 9-0. A pair of pass interference calls and an 11-yard pass to Lake was the big plays on that drive.
After a quick turnover, Marian scored again on a pass from Joey Hecklinski to Jake Wright on a 24-yard strike to the ten-yard line. Lake would do the rest to score from three yards out to take the score to 16-0 at just under seven minutes in the half.
With 6:37 left in the second period, the game was suspended due to lightning in the area. After the delay, Marian scored another touchdown after Hecklinski hit freshman Taylor Summa and converted the extra point, bringing the score to 23-0.
After nearly two hours of delays, the game was called due to the weather with 5:42 remaining in the second quarter and MU was awarded the victory.
Kentucky Christian will return home this weekend to host Bethel University in the 2013 home opener. The contest is slated to begin at 1:30 p.m. The two team previously met in 2011 when the Wildcats beat KCU 25-13.

Dallas Buyers Club – Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto
- Great movie, based on real life. Glad things have improved years later. I couldn't believe the weight they lost for this movie, wow, they were perfect looking, but if you were paid lots of $$$ it would be easy to shed the pounds. Matthew was fabulous and Jared was amazing, he did a great job, hehe. You can see why they won those awards. A great movie, I would recommend it. 10/10

So there are my short reviews lol. Dallas Buyers Club was my fav. Jared was great in the role, perfect lol
Re: Movies....
That's a lot of movies. I haven't watched any of them.
Your review of American Hustle was certainly quite glowing.
Re: Movies....
If Elly loses her job, I think she'll have one as a movie reviewer. I only saw Runner Runner, a little slow and boring.
Re: Movies....
I have more movies to watch - Lone survivor, Prisoners, Hours, 12 years a slave...
just not in the mood, kinda movie'd out but i'll review once I've watched them.
Re: Movies....
Last movie I watched was the 300 sequel. It was okay, not as good as the first one but still good.. Biggest enjoyment of the movie was seeing Eva Green's boobs.

Re: Movies....
ahh a boob movie, nothing better for the guys lol
Re: Movies....
Did see Dallas Buyers Club, about a week before the Oscars...two very well deserved awards for Matthew & Jared. Great movie.
Watched "Broken City" with Mark Wahlberg this weekend (well, I watched it with Todd, Mark was in the movie ). I liked it, didn't love it, but it was Mark so I was happy. When it was over, we switched over to "Pain & Gain" which we had already seen, but we made it a Wahlberg night (ah, if only!). Here's a little trivia for you...my greyts are related to the greyhound in the movie; both 1/2 cousins, connected by a hound named HB's Commander (great-grandfather to all three!)
Dawn ~ aka "MarleyBlue", hanging around these parts since early 2005 ~ is that sad?
Re: Movies....
Cool... 1/2 cousins....
Total agreement with DBC, loved Jared's role, he was awesome, how cute was he at the Oscars... Ellen's selfie and he gets part in lol. I was amazed at the weight they lost for it.
Thanks for Broken City.... I have that to watch....maybe I won't lol
Re: Movies....
I finally watched... We bought a zoo. Matt Damon. It was on TV and I really wanted to see it when it came out. Total family movie but I liked it. Comedy/Drama, not everyone's cup of tea but I liked it. Only let down was no elephants, but there were lions, tigers and bears... oh my. A cute movie, true story.
It tells the story of Benjamin Mee and his family who purchase a dilapidated zoo and take on the challenge of preparing the zoo for its reopening to the public.
hey.... elephants are coming....

With the passage of Question 3 during the Nov. 6 electino cities and towns around Massachusetts are left to set regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries.
Voters approved the use of marijuana for medical purposes, as prescribed by a doctor, by a 63 to 37 percent margin. With the approval comes the creation of marijuana dispensaries—"non-profit treatment centers that will grow, process and provide marijuana to patients or their caregivers," according to the Secretary of State.
There are already state regulations built into Question 3, which require the dispensaries to apply and pay for a Department of Public Health registration, as well as submit operating procedures, including the mandatory storage of marijuana in locked facilities.
Communities will also need to set local regulations for dispensaries.
Lexington Police Chief Mark Corr, who voiced his opposition to Question 3 prior to the election, told Patch he's researching what it would take for a marijuana dispensery to open in Lexington, and any local bylaws that could prevent it from happening.
Corr said he's also identifying the communities that have passed bylaws prohibiting the public use of marijuana, and could bring that type of measure forward in the future.
Town Manager Carl Valente said he has had preliminary discussions with Corr, but had not spoken yet with other officials, including the Planning Director, Zoning Administrator and Board of Selectmen.
And, with a special Town Meeting on tap for next week and Vistaprint tax increment financing request to get sorted, Valente said he doesn't expect to get to those discussions for another few weeks.
Massachusetts is the 18th state to legalize medical marijuana. Dispensaries have popped up all over the United States, and there are websites dedicated to finding them, including: WeedMaps.com.
Colorado has marijuana dispensaries in place, which were overloaded with callers seeking pot for recreational use last week, according to News5 KOAA.com.
Marijuana has been used to help with several medical conditions in the 17 other states where it was legal before Nov. 6.
According to Pain Management of America, "Some of the more common conditions and symptoms treated with medical marijuana include chronic pain, nausea, glaucoma, seizure disorders, cancer, diabetes [and] muscle spasms."
Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that an Oakland, CA dispensary generated nearly $1 million in tax revenue and sells approximately $20 million in pot annually.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
Pours a clear, bright orange with a creamy 2-finger head that reduces quickly but leaves some wet, soapy lace even at the end of the brew.
The nose is malty, fruity and juicy all around, with fresh bread, orange and syrupy apricot aromas joined by touches of peach and hints of red berries.
Palate is medium bodied with bready malt and an instant hit of mandarin orange juiciness. A bit of estery white raisin is joined by the moderate hoppy bitterness, which is both earthy and spicy, while a little flourish of alcohol kicks off the finish- mildly bitter and juicy with vaguely tart flavors of unripe tree fruits and citrus rind.
Very delicious overall. The breadiness, fruitiness, earthy hoppiness and touch of booze near the end make this seem, to me, pretty damn spot-on for the style.

A: Pours a hazy amber with a thick off-white head that recedes slowly.
S: Aromas of lemon jelly, orange marmalade, crackers, biscuits, leather, tobacco, cedar, and caramel fill the nose.
T: Robust notes of caramel, biscuit, crackers, leather, tobacco, tea, black pepper, lemon jelly, lime zest, orange marmalade, and cedar fill the mouth. The finish is spicy and fruity with pronounced flavors of cedar, leather, black pepper, orange marmalade, and lemon jelly.
M: On the lighter side of medium in terms of body and somewhat sticky. Carbonation is active and crisp.
O: An interesting ESB. The mixture of American and British hops in this ale is pretty unique. I especially appreciate what Pilgrim brings to the table. This is very much worth a try for those who enjoy British-style ales and/or unique hop varietals.

12 oz bottle filled 11-15-2013.
Pours lightly hazed, medium amber with a fine, durable creamy beige head.
Aroma of baked bread, light spices and fruity hops.
Flavor: conservatively spiced, the fruity citrus character seems to be the more unusual feature in this ESB.
Feel: smooth with medium but very soft (natural?) carbonation.
O: This winter ESB Schlafly Winter ESB is lighter than your average Winter Warmer, providing another good choice for the holidays. If found it to be enjoyable on a hot Spring day as well.

12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a hazy dark orange with quite a bit of sediment from the bottle making it into the glass. The saving grace is the thick, rocky head. Excellent retention and lacing.
Aroma is extremely fruity. Lots of orange with some grape and cherry as well. Maybe just a touch of biscuit but it is faint behind the fruit.
The taste has even more fruit. I know pretty much every Schlafly beer has this fruit note from what I assume to be the yeast but this is just a little overdone. Heavy dose of orange and cherry along the same lines as what is in the aroma. Lots of malt in the way of caramel and biscuit but it lends a bit too much sweetness. Mouthfeel is quite sweet and sticky.
Overall, this one just doesn't do it for me. Too much fruit and overly sticky make this a bit of a mess. Drinkability is very limited and it just doesn't seem that well put together. I'll pass next time.

Light brown hued with a good half inch head of khaki colored foam. Brussels lacing. I get a bit of biscuity malt and faint pine like hops in the nose. I get some dark malt on the front of the palate and it is quickly followed by sharp bittering hops. I get a bit of a dry chalky mouth. I get more hops and a copper penny like malt fade.

Sunday brunch will be the setting for an intimate dialogue with Professor Arnold M. Eisen, chancellor of The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), on Sunday, July 12, in East Hampton, New York. Hosted by Jeffrey Schwarz and Joe Allerhand, the brunch will begin at 10:00 a.m.
Arnold Eisen, one of the world's foremost experts on American Judaism, is the seventh chancellor of JTS. Since his inauguration in 2007, Chancellor Eisen has met with world leaders, engaged in prominent interdenominational and interfaith dialogues, and championed a transformation in the education of the next generation of Conservative leadership.
Among his early achievements, Chancellor Eisen has appointed a new vice chancellor, provost, and deans; led the development and implementation of new curricula that will better prepare rabbis, cantors, and Jewish educators for the rapidly changing community of contemporary American Jews; and committed JTS to a higher standard of ecological responsibility. The Mitzvah Initiative, designed by Chancellor Eisen to engage Conservative Jews in thoughtful dialogue about "commandment, commandedness, and the Commander," began in six synagogues around the country and in 2009 will spread to dozens of synagogues, camps, schools, and organizations throughout the continent.
Before coming to JTS, Chancellor Eisen was the Koshland Professor of Jewish Culture and Religion at Stanford University. He also served as senior lecturer in the Department of Jewish Philosophy at Tel Aviv University and assistant professor in the Department of Religion at Columbia University. Chancellor Eisen received a PhD in the History of Jewish Thought from Hebrew University; a BPhil in the Sociology of Religion at Oxford University; and a BA in Religious Thought from the University of Pennsylvania.
The Chancellor's many publications include a personal essay, "Taking Hold of Torah: Jewish Commitment and Community in America" (1997); a historical work entitled Rethinking Modern Judaism: Ritual, Commandment, Community (1998); and The Jew Within: Self, Family and Community in America (2000), coauthored with sociologist Steven M. Cohen. He is currently writing a book that probes new possibilities for the meaning of Zionism.
The minimum gift is $180 per person. The address and directions will be provided with reservations, which are required by Wednesday, July 8. For further information and to RSVP, please contact Gwynne Wicks or Lucy Posner at (516) 496-9525.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — The Big North Conference looks to be a battle royale this season.
With five of the seven teams coming off winning seasons and the other two hiring coaches with established track records, the road to a BNC crown isn't getting any easier.
"I wouldn't be shocked if the winning team had a couple losses by the end of the year," Cadillac coach Jim Webb said. "I can't see anyone going through unscathed."
Traverse City Central was able to do that last year, going 6-0 in league play, but it'll be no easy task to duplicate.
In the annual BNC preseason media poll, Traverse City West was selected as the favorite, with Cadillac second and TC Central and Ogemaw Heights tied for third.
"Our league is going to be, by far, the best it's been since I've been here — top to bottom," TC West coach Tim Wooer said. "Ogemaw finished strong last year, and I think they return 17 starters from what I counted. That's crazy. And Central has that phenomenal junior class, so I think those two are the teams to beat. We'll be competitive if we continue to improve. Petoskey will be better than they were last year. Alpena has some great, skilled kids with a coach that knows how to run the run-and-shoot in Mel Skillman. Gaylord has Will Cleaver back. And Cadillac has the best athlete in the league in Jalen Brooks."
Cleaver, who returns to guide the Gaylord program, said the league is stronger now than when he was there from 2000-2007.
"The Big North is more tough now than it was before I left," Cleaver said. "Petoskey turned it around. Cadillac has always been tough, and both Traverse City schools. In Ogemaw, Pratley has done a great job down there. I think we lost to them my last two years (in Gaylord) in 2006 and 2007. And then Alpena getting Mel Skillman. That guy has coached collegiately, he's run the spread offense all over the place, so I'm sure they'll be improved."
Ogemaw also has a new coach in long-time assistant Bill Foster, who takes over for Andrew Pratley.
"The league is as tough as I have seen it as far as talent," Webb said. "And then we have a bunch of new coaches, which throws in a lot of unknowns."
Last season, TC West and Ogemaw — the smallest BNC school by over 200 students — tied for second, two games behind the Trojans at 4-2.
"I think West is a team to beat," TC Central coach Tom Passinault said. "They've got one of the top offensive lines that we've seen. They're going to be very good. Beyond that, I think everyone will be scrapping and fighting to be part of it. The coaching is outstanding. And every week seems to be a challenge."
The Vikings don't have the mammoth bookend offensive tackles they boasted a year ago, but they have one vital piece back: Quarterback Jalen Brooks.
A player many coaches are calling the best in the league, Brooks accounted for 1,754 rushing yards, another 609 passing and 33 touchdowns.
"We did a nice job of bottling him up last year," Wooer said. "But still, he had an 80-yard run and a 60-yard run."
"It's always nice to have an athlete of his caliber," Webb said of Brooks. "With all the good things he's done for us the last couple years, it's always a good place to start your offense by having him coming back."
The Vikings return starting tailback Tanner Derror, receivers Patrick Briggs and Logan Webb and 210-pound tight end Justin Liptak, who suffered a separated shoulder during the basketball season and could miss the beginning of football.
Cadillac has exactly one starter back on the offensive line. Junior Matt Myers was brought up to varsity for one game due to injuries to start last year's playoff game. The other five line starters are gone, including massive tackles Riley Norman and Jack Ford. All told, about 1,300 pounds of blockers need to be replaced. Thomas Kraynak, Hunter Linton, Cody Stillwell and junior Sam Denman will join Myers in that effort.
"We may have lost some size, but I think we gained some speed in areas," Webb said. "I definitely like the make-up of our team as far as the unity of it, and their passion and coachability."
On defense, Cadillac has safety Lewis Finch, defensive lineman Trevor Martin and middle linebacker Blake Ford back.
Carl Wier, a 300-pound senior defensive lineman, will suit up this year after sitting out last season due the transfer rules.
The Vikings are trying to make the playoffs for the fifth straight year, which would set a new program record. And they'll mine a 7-2 JV team for new talent.
The Falcons have a bevy of talent back from a team that surprised many around the BNC and posted a 4-2 mark and went on to win a pair of playoff games as well to end up 8-4 overall.
Although they lost star running back Brandon Benac and receiver Jerome Hunter, the offense brings back eight starters. Similarly, the defense has seven starters returning.
Foster said he'll keep Pratley's inventive spread offense, although he wouldn't say whether or not it would feature two quarterbacks on the field at the same time as it occasionally did last season. Ben Hartley, a captain as a junior, and Devin Griffus are vying for snaps.
"I don't know that we really have a starting quarterback," said Foster, who had been an assistant at Ogemaw for 21 years. "Either one of those two kids can play pretty well."
The team was very junior-laden last year, having 27 on varsity, along with a pair of sophomores — Hartley and running back/safety Josh Awrey.
"We're not really deep," Foster said. "A lot of kids are going to end up going both ways, just because of the experience we had last year. If we can stay healthy, I think we can do OK."
Aside from losing Pratley and his father, the coaching staff returns intact. Foster was last year's defensive coordinator.
The defense is spearheaded by twins Shane and Shawn Benjamin at outside linebacker, all-BNC lineman Tommy DeMatio and Awrey.
Tackle Alec Stevens (6-5, 270) anchors the offensive line, and receiver Michael vonKronenburger is the top receiving threat for an offense that returns virtually all of its skill players and racked up 34.75 points a game last season.
Petoskey could be the league's wild card.
The Northmen have six starters back on each side of the ball, and the return of starting tailback Chase Ledingham from a hip injury that cost him a big chunk of last year will be big.
Back for Petoskey are fullback/linebacker Connor Reed, running back/cornerback Nick Strobel, running back/linebacker Kurt Boucher, tackle/defensive end James Gazarato, offensive tackle/defensive tackle Chandler Matelski, guard/defensive end Zach Tibbits and tight end/linebacker Shea Whitmore.
If Ledingham plays both ways, that will give Petoskey four starting linebackers from the beginning of last season back from a team that gave up less than 20 points a game.
Ledingham and Boucher each had over 500 rushing yards last season. Evan Whitemore, a 6-2 sophomore, takes over at quarterback for Quinn Ameel.
Still, Petoskey — like a lot of BNC squads — has a tough schedule. Seven of nine opponents had winning records last year, including each of the Northmen's first six opponents.
"And seven teams we play this year were in the playoffs last year," Petoskey coach Kerry VanOrman said. "We have a stretch there starting with Week Two against Hastings and then with road games against Cadillac, TC West and Cheboygan and then playing (TC) Central. That's a tough stretch."
The Northmen also lost offensive lineman Tommy Roush (6-3, 270), who instead will be starting on West's line after moving back to Traverse City. The Northmen lack a lot of size or experience on the line.
The Wildcats are hoping new coach Mel Skillman turns around a program that hasn't had more than three wins in a season since 2004.
Skillman has been coaching nearly 60 years and has amassed a record of 256-170-6 — 16th all-time in Michigan and six wins behind TC Central assistant coach Eric Schugars' father, Jack.
He'll bring the spread offense back to Alpena, delivering plenty of passing in the process. Having an experienced Wildcat team returning could help lessen that transition. And an influx of talent from a 7-1-1 JV team that piled up points won't hurt, either.
Junior Tyler Pintar takes over at quarterback. Dakota Patterson is the main returning back from last year and had 216 yards on 36 carries (6.0 per carry), and will split carries with Jordan Ferguson.
Tim Atkinson, a 6-3, 220-pound senior, is Alpena's main receiving threat, hauling in 199 yards worth of passes last year in a run-oriented offense.
Junior linebacker Brad Styma should be a leader on defense. He had 82 tackles last year and eight tackles for loss.He'll be flanked at linebacker by Evan Hamp and Cade MacArthur.
Cleaver returns to the Blue Devils' sideline after a five-year hiatus.
The Blue Devils had 12 juniors and three sophomores on varsity last year. But those players will have to learn a new offense as the program moves away from the double-wing scheme it's used for several years and adopts Cleaver's spread offense that led to a 52-18 record in eight seasons and six playoff berths. The Blue Devils were 37-11 in BNC contests in that span.
Over the last four years, Gaylord has combined to win three football games.
"Baby steps," Cleaver said. "We've got a long way to go. I'm hoping we can win a few games and get back on track as far as learning to win."
The Devils used a single-wing offense the last two years under Mark Mendolia and the double wing for two seasons with Doug Berkshire at the helm.
Junior back Cotton Neff was a starter last year as a sophomore, and Steven Fitzek made one start on varsity as a sophomore last season, throwing for 189 yards against the league's top defense in Traverse City Central — mainly to tight end Collin Watters, who returns as a junior.
"He's definitely got some ability," Cleaver said of Fitzek.
Elk Rapids sophomore transfer Kyle Augustine (6-2, 295) will give Gaylord's offensive line a boost.
Under Cleaver, 2000-03 was the best four-year stretch in Blue Devils history.
Gaylord's schedule won't help much, either. The Devils face seven teams that owned winning records in 2012. And of the two that didn't, one of them is a much-improved Traverse City St. Francis.
