The Barrow County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
PHOTO PROBLEM: On Feb. 26, a deputy met with a 23-year-old Bethlehem woman who reported she had been communicating online with a man who said he lives in Kansas. About a week ago, she emailed a number of nude photos of herself to the man, who is now harassing her because he wants more pictures.
She refused, and the man is threatening to post the photographs he already has on the Internet. She sent the man a message asking him to stop contacting her, but he has refused.
THREAT: On Feb. 27, a deputy met with a 75-year-old Hoschton woman who said someone entered her rental home and left a note saying, "Leve this place now or you die." The note was sloppily written with a green marker, leading the deputy to believe a child could have written it, but the woman said there are no children nearby.
The woman had installed a number of security cameras, so the deputy asked that she examine the video to determine if there are any images of the intruder, and to contact the sheriff's office if she does find any images.
MAN THREATENED: On Feb. 25, an Auburn man said he saw his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in the parking lot of his workplace on Loganville Highway. He said he approached their car and asked the woman if he could come to her home and get his property. At that point, the man said, the boyfriend got out of the car and approached him aggressively, grabbing him by the arm and cursing at him.
When the victim told the man he was calling the sheriff's office, he and the girlfriend left the premises.
FRAUD: On Feb. 25, a deputy met with a 31-year-old Lawrenceville woman who said she'd received a letter from Barrow County Probate Court advising her that if she failed to appear in court on Jan. 14 for a seat belt violation, her driver's license would be suspended and a warrant issued for her arrest.
The woman said she does not own the vehicle listed on the citation and she has never received such a citation. The woman said she suspects her ex-roommate, whom she has not seen in two years, used her identification when she was stopped by the officer. She said the roommate had owned such a vehicle, but she has no idea where she now lives.
BURGLARY: On March 1, a 68-year-old Indian Harbor Beach, Fla., resident reported a burglary at a home he owns on Jones Road, Winder, between June 15 and Nov. 25 last year. The man reported $1,950 in goods were removed from the home.
VEHICLES ENTERED: On March 1, a resident of Wyntercreek Lane in Hoschton reported that someone entered her vehicle while it was parked in the driveway overnight and stole an Apple iPad, a Hewlett-Packard laptop computer, a backpack for laptop and art pens valued at a total of $1,160. The vehicle was left unlocked.
On the same day, another resident of Wyntercreek Lane reported property was removed from his work vehicle. Missing from the van was a Fujitsu Lifebook T902 laptop computer valued at $2,000.
Also, a third car on the same street was entered and the owner said someone stole her digital camera and a Garmin GPS, valued at a total of $375.
THEFT: On March 3, a deputy met with a Statham man who said someone entered his vehicle on Simeon Road during the night and stole items valued at $90.
TRASH: On March 3, a deputy was dispatched to a home on Wexford Way, Auburn, where a man said during the night someone tossed pizza sauce and ranch dressing containers in his front yard. The man wanted a report on the incident because someone threw eggs at his home in the past.
CHAIN SAW TAKEN: On March 3, a deputy was dispatched to East Star Street, Bethlehem, where a man said someone stole a Homelite Ranger chain saw valued at $250. Another chain saw in the carport was not taken.

This is the video we shot of Dr. Alson Sears' lecture on canine distemper that he gave on Oct. 24, 2009 in Houston, Texas. He describes how he made his discovery and the overwhelming skepticism he ran into. He then goes on to discuss how to make the NDV-induced serum, the issues of using straight NDV, diagnosing distemper and treating dogs who are already in the neurologic stage of the disease.
Links are included throughout the video to make it easy to jump to different chapters, but here is where each topic begins:
- Introducing Dr. Al Sears: 6 minutes, 15 seconds.
- Explaining the terms: 12 minutes, 17 seconds.
- The discovery of NDV-induced serum: 17 minutes, 20 seconds
- How to make NDV-induced serum: 32 minutes, 20 seconds.
- Whether to use straight NDV or NDV-induced serum: 46 minutes, 23 seconds
- Diagnosing Distemper: 51 minutes, 5 seconds
- Treating Neurologic Distemper: 1 hour, 7 minutes, 4 seconds.
- Good-bye and conclusion:1 hour, 17 minutes, 40 seconds
A DVD of this lecture is available for $10 plus $2 for shipping.
During his 40 years as a practicing vet, Dr. Sears investigated cures for other diseases. Here is a page where you can explore these other treatments.
Kind Hearts In Action is working towards the goal of proving that Dr. Sears' treatments work. To find out more, read about Project Carré.

Not long ago I was photographing dawn in Joshua Tree National Park. I must confess, dawn is my favorite time of day. And I have thrilled to more spectacular dawns in Joshua Tree than anywhere else. There are ;often clouds that ignite as the sun approaches. And the other morning was no exception.
I'd like to share with you three photographs taken that morning. The alarm went off at 4:30 and we left the motel in Twentynine Palms a 5:30, an hour and a half before sunrise. There were clouds in the morning sky, the first ingredient for a spectacular sunrise but by no means a guarantee. I selected Sheep Pass at the west end of Queen Valley because it offered both Joshua Trees and some impressive granite outcrops for an interesting foreground. We arrived about 45 minutes before sunrise. It was still dark with the barest glimmer of light in the east.

Special Events
If you'd like to hold an event in the City of Sumner, there are a couple of things the City can do to help.
First, you may want to see if your event fits the City Codes for events. Check the Municipal Code and go to Chapter 12.52 for Special Events.
All park spaces, including the gazebo, picnic shelters, tables, barbecues, etc. are available on a first-come, first-serve basis only at no cost. Please note if it is a busy weekend of graduation parties or Father's Day for example, other people may have the same idea. Normal uses, such as birthday parties, family picnics, etc. do not require any kind of permit.
You should obtain a Special Event Permit if your event is held on City property, including parks, streets, sidewalks or parking lots; if your event changes the normal, everyday use of this space for the public and/or includes major components such as structures (tents, special tables, inflatable bounce toys, etc.) or a band or amplified music.
We can issue a Special Event Permit for an event held on City property, to which permitting requirements and costs would be involved. Permit applications can be found on the Public Records and Forms page (link) and must be submitted 60 days in advance. Below is a list of all of the permit fees and the Special Events Costs and Services, but for a general party-type event, here is an example of what would be required:
- A City employee or employees at the event to set up and tear down barricades to reserve the space. They may also need to be on hand during the event to monitor the reservation. For a small party with no other services, the cost would be the facility rental fee of $50.00, plus labor costs of $40.00 per hour on weekdays (with a one hour minimum) and $60.00 per hour on weekends (with a 3 hour minimum).
- If there is alcohol being served, that would require a banquet permit and the area fully barricaded. Info on permits and licenses can be found at http://liq.wa.gov/licensing/permits
- Liability Insurance. If the City of Sumner issues a permit, we require a minimum limit of $2,000,000 of Commercial General Liability insurance. Even though there is no building, our code requires that the "City of Sumner" needs to be the Certificate Holder and an additional insured for the City of Sumner facilities.
- A pre-event meeting with the event applicant and the City of Sumner staff will be held 30 days prior to the event to go over things like the layout of the area you want to use, power connections, or to answer follow up questions (such as if you'd want to pay for the portable toilets to be serviced prior, etc.).
You may also want to visit pages to view our park locations (link) and review park rules (link).

I first had sticky rice with mango at Spices Thai restaurant in San Diego. I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm not a big rice pudding type of person, but this dessert was perfect. It's not too overly sweet and the sweet, ripe mangos make a great accompaniment to this recipe. This is definitely a summer dessert when wonderful mangoes are in season.
INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
- 1 cup uncooked Jasmine Rice
- 1 can Coconut Milk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes
- In a medium saucepan bring 1 - 3/4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and briefly stir. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer 20 minutes or until water is just absorbed.
- Meanwhile in a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar and salt. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
- Add the hot coconut milk sauce to the cooked rice. Stir until mixed.
- Lightly press plastic wrap onto mixture in saucepan to cover. Let rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Peel and slice the mangoes. With large spoon or ice cream scoop, spoon the sticky rice onto plates and garnish with mango slices.

I'm getting lazy. I will be taking the easy way out this week and instead of writing my own post, I will let the September 7, 1905 News Democrat do the writing for me.
To provide a little background (well, maybe I'm not so lazy after all), Santford Ogden was born March 19, 1836 in Clark Township, Brown County, Ohio, the son of Alfred and Hannah Harriet Leonard Ogden. Sarah Steward was born February 17, 1838 to Francis and Catherine Price Steward. Santford and Sarah were married in Brown County and had at least ten childen, including my great-grandmother, Rosa Ogden Davis. The article that follows describes their golden wedding anniversary celebration.
The golden wedding of Sanford Ogden and wife of this place was celebrated on Saturday August 26, 1905, with a large dinner and family reunion, their nine living children all being present for the first time in ten years. About the noon hour the ladies began to bring out the baskets and boxes and the men began to prepare a table and when it was finished it was 60 feet long and and 4 feet wide. Among the good things we counted 22 large cakes and other good things in proportion. 115 persons were present - 9 children, 30 grandchildren, 2 brothers of Mr. Ogden and their wives and 74 friends and neighbors. Among those from a distance were W. H. Ogden and little daughter of Dayton, Ohio, Alfred Ogden and wife of Huntington, Mrs. Lizzie Palmer of Dayton, Ohio. Charles Redmon brought his graphophone and Alvin Roots his accordian, and to say we had a good time is putting it mildly. At a late hour we parted, wishing Father and Mother Ogden many such events to brighten their old age. The aged couple were the recipients of many handsome and useful presents.
Sarah died October 16, 1907. Santford died November 10, 1920 in Pike Township, Brown County, Ohio. They are buried in the Warner Cemetery in Clark Township, Brown County, Ohio.

Firies on alert as mercury soars again across NENW
Forecasters say the mercury will soar across the New England North West today, with temperatures expected to reach the low 40s on the Plains and the mid to high 30s on the Tablelands.
A Total Fire Ban is again in place.
Superintendent Michael Brooks, from the Namoi-Gwydir RFS, says Friday's hot conditions started two fires at Mungindi and Moree.
He says both were brought under control quickly.
"The first one occurred in one of the streets of Mungindi where we believe some power lines may have started a small fire and the second incident was reported south of Moree, on the Newell Highway, and it was a roadside grassfire with an unknown cause," he said.
"The brigade got out there and again restricted it to little damage and, apart from a little bit of smoke across the road, there were no traffic issues."
Meantime, RFS Inspector Steve Prior, from the Tamworth Rural Fire Service, says a specialist aerial crew is on standby at Tamworth Airport this weekend, ahead of a predicted 42 degrees maximum in the regional city.
He says if there are any fire outbreaks, the chopper will be deployed within minutes.
"Based out at the Tamworth Airport we have a heavy helicopter that has a belly-tank carrying capacity of some 1,400 litres," he said.
"It has a specialised crew that will be winched down from that helicopter and they basically respond within a 30-minute flying time radius of Tamworth Airport, which is approximately 100km or so."
Inspector Prior is urging the local community to report any fire activity immediately.
"We have our 38 brigades spread out throughout the Tamworth district and they are on a very high state of alert and they are very conscious of the prevailing conditions and what is likely to come forth," he said.
"Give us the opportunity to be made aware of any smoke sighting whatsoever and it doesn't matter what it is, there should be no smoke from any source, anytime, anywhere."

In 2014, a jury in Texas awarded a family a million dollar judgment for the contamination on their family ranch due to fracking. Fracking, short for fracturing, is a process of extracting oil or gas from the ground by injecting high-pressure liquid into subterranean rock to force the release of the oil or gas. The fracking process uses up to six hundred chemicals, many of which are known carcinogens. In the United States fracking has been on the increase. The family awarded damages lived within two miles of about twenty wells from one company. Since much of the fracking fluid is left in the ground, the fluid can leak and contaminate nearby land, waters, and air. The fluid began to contaminate the family ranch causing numerous health problems for the family and their animals. The family suffered from chronic issues like nosebleeds, headaches, and dizziness. The animals experienced birth-related complications.
Those living around such conditions should seek legal advice. The legal basis for recent successful lawsuits has been under the theory of nuisance. This will be a private nuisance claim, when the use and enjoyment of one's property is interfered with in a substantial and unreasonable manner. This can be with a physical object or with an activity. With fracking there may be both as the noise from fracking was definitely noted and the contamination from the chemicals physically invaded the property of the landowners. The remedy will be an injunction, or the company will have to revise their processes. This may include pollution control to stop the contamination and the company may have to shorten their working hours to reduce the noise.
There have also been suits where workers have alleged health issues related to the process. They have been exposed to the chemicals with very little protection as workplaces have maintained that no such connection exists between the fracking and any experienced health problems.
Employees experiencing health issues should visit a doctor immediately to document any health issues. As with many torts of this nature, it may take months or years before an injured person can make the connection between their injuries and the cause. Once the connection is made, the advice of a personal injury attorney should be sought immediately. The worker will need to seek workers' compensation benefits.
This article is for general informational purposes only and is not to be construed as legal advice. Do not rely on the above information as all cases are different and different laws apply to different cases. Consult an attorney in your area for further guidance.

While the Winnipeg Jets seek to build on a long-awaited win, the hometown Toronto Maple Leafs try to bounce back from their first loss Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre (7:30 p.m. ET).
Winnipeg was outscored 13-5 in losing its first three games after relocating from Atlanta but finally ended the drought with a 2-1 home victory over Pittsburgh on Monday.
Kyle Wellwood and Tanner Glass each scored in the first period, and Ondrej Pavelec kept that lead intact while stopping 28 shots.
"I think that there are still some areas where we can clean up, but we're pretty close," said Glass, who scored his first goal in 55 games since Dec. 3. "We're happy with our win, but we're going to watch some film and get back at it again."
One of those areas in which the Jets (1-3-0) must improve is the power play, having gone 0-for-17 thus far.
Winnipeg now heads east to renew a pair of Canadian rivalries, visiting Toronto (3-0-1) and Ottawa on back-to-back nights.
'We're not happy with the loss but we'll take that point and move forward.' — Leafs' Dion Phaneuf on overtime loss to Avalanche
While the Jets celebrated a milestone win Monday, Toronto was denied its second 4-0 start in as many seasons. The Leafs fell 3-2 in overtime to Colorado despite getting another goal from Phil Kessel.
Kessel scored for the sixth time in three games during the opening minute of the second period, and Nikolai Kulemin tallied the tying goal with 4:43 remaining in regulation. James Reimer let in the winning goal 1:11 into the extra period for his first loss in four starts.
'Move forward'
"We're not happy with the loss but we'll take that point and move forward," said defenceman Dion Phaneuf, who had two assists.
With the Maple Leafs also set to play on consecutive nights — they visit Boston on Thursday — Reimer could get a break soon.
Jonas Gustavsson, who has yet to play this season, is 1-2-0 with a 3.30 goals-against average in three games against the former Atlanta Thrashers, while Reimer is 1-0-0 with a 1.64 GAA in three appearances.
Reimer stopped all 18 shots he faced in Atlanta on Feb. 27 in the most recent meeting between these teams, but he exited in the second period after being hit in the head by Evander Kane's knee as Toronto lost 3-2 in overtime.
Pavelec missed that game with a wrist injury, and Winnipeg may want to keep him out of this matchup considering his 4.01 GAA versus the Leafs is his second-worst against any opponent he's faced more than twice. He's 3-3-1 against them.
That could prompt coach Claude Noel to give Chris Mason his second start of the season. Mason, who gave up four goals in Phoenix on Saturday, is 2-1-0 with a 1.66 GAA in three starts versus Toronto.
Kessel scored on Mason during the matchup in Atlanta in February and has seven goals and 10 assists in his last 16 games against the Jets franchise. Toronto could only manage a four-game split of last season's series despite Kulemin having five goals and three assists while Mikhail Grabovski totaled four goals and four assists.
Jets captain Andrew Ladd scored a goal in each of those four matchups, and defenceman Tobias Enstrom has three goals and three assists in his last three games against Toronto.

Did you know Yarnspirations has Look Books? And they are absolutely awesome! I don't know how often they are released but they are normally themed and always include both knit and crochet projects.
This particular one is baby shower themed and I already have it filed away as one of my favorites.
What am I Loving In This Look Book…
This All of This!
Because pom poms clearly don't go out of style. Y'all remember when Queen B broke the internet with her $180 knit pom pom beanie she wore to a basketball game?
I said then that it would probably look cute on a baby and 3 years later here it is cute on a baby. I know this has been done but it is still my favorite from the look book.
So what else am I loving?
This cloud mobile. I have had a crochet mobile on my never ending crochet to do list for a while, I like the simplicity of this one and the fact that it is with chunky yarn so it most likely works up quickly.
You can find the full Yarnspirations Baby Shower Look Book here and I would love to know what you are looking forward to hooking or knitting from this Look Book.

Led by the songwriting powerhouse duo Evan Bernard and Chris Baglivo, The Superweaks evolved from a Philadelphia music collective to a full time band for their first collective EP The World Is A Terrible Place And I Hate Myself And Want To Die. Since then, the band has formed a place in the hearts of the Philadelphia scene through their impressive knack for writing hooks that chew bubble gum and kick ass.
With influences ranging from Weezer to Thin Lizzy to The Ergs, the songwriting team delivers song after song of straight to the point powerful pop backed by the occasional impassioned shout and a healthy tinge of fuzz. The band released their debut LP Bad Year in 2015 on Lame-O Records, which led them to tour with everyone from Brand New and The Get Up Kids to Modern Baseball and Joyce Manor.
On November 4th, 2016, The Superweaks will release their follow up LP Better Heavens, dedicated to the band's bass player and family member Corey Bernard, who passed away this summer. Artwork on the album, both the cover and further art within the LP come from Corey's old drawings.
Better Heavens sees some sonic experimentation from The Superweaks, carrying on some of the pop and guitar-rock from their last release, but also finding more dynamic moments throughout. The band softens on track "Diamond Mind," experiments with synths and vocal effects on "Oh God (We're All So Miserable Now)" and adds some atmospheric heaviness with "Heavy Dreams" and "Junkie's Gone To Heaven," while still delivering great pop hooks on songs like "Better Heavens" and "Glowing."

Most music video directors aspire to one day move on to feature films, following in the footsteps of Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, David Fincher, or even Michael Bay. It turns out, however, that this is a pretty difficult transition to make. This is why we were particularly excited when we heard that director Matt Amato had taken a break from directing music videos to focus on shooting his first feature film, The Makings Of You. Shot in St. Louis and produced by Jack Richardson and The Masses (who typically produce music videos), the film is a classic love story starring Sheryl Lee from Twin Peaks and is set to release in 2014. Having already talked to Matt in depth last year about his music video work, we were curious how working on a feature film compared to it, so we chatted with him to find out. (Photos by Jon Ramos)
Doug: I'm curious about the process of writing a feature film compared to a music video. Did the idea for this film still come from the same place a music video idea would come from?
Matt: I think it all comes from the same place. If it's coming from the right place, it's coming from your subconscious, and from your dream life, and your imagination. How all that relates to your day to day reality. Also, I really can't think without music. Right now I'm going through a catalog of 500gb of material I'm trying to choose from, from this record label called Now Again from Eagle Rock. Just tremendous amount of hard rock and psychedelic rock, vintage R&B. It's a really exciting catalog. Even in the editing process, it's all music inspiring me. Not just the old stuff I was dreaming about. It's all sound and image.
Doug: Obviously, when you're directing a music video, it's a very specific song that you're using for inspiration. Did you say you're working with a label on this project? Is music influential throughout the project?
Matt: Yeah. I have my songs I've been working with, for instance, The Rolling Stones "She Smiled Sweetly." I've had it played on a jukebox. Of course, we're not going to go after that. It's already been used in The Royal Tenenbaums and it's The Rolling Stones. Do we really want to deal with that? I found this band called Witch. They're from Nigeria, early 70's and have a song called, "Hometown." It's a whole lot better than "She Smiled Sweetly" and we can use it. We shot with it on set. Two actors danced to it. I'll be editing to it. I wanted to discover as many songs before I actually shot the scenes, so I can have music dictate camera movements. I try to do that as much as possible. When I'm out shooting B-roll, I have my headset on and I'm shooting with music I intend to have in the film. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Carlos Nino are old friends of mine from Los Angeles. They will be providing some of the more lushly orchestrated elements of the soundtrack. I DJ for the actors when we are filming without sound. I think those are their favorite moments on set. I can just DJ their performance with them. I remember this one moment Sheryl Lee was sitting there and I was able to play her Waylon Jennings' "Dreaming My Dreams With You." Then the camera's just filming her listening to music. Of course, you won't hear that when you see the movie. Or for the walking scenes I'll carry a boom box with me so the camera crew and the actors know the pacing of what I'm going for. The whole thing is musical. It's just when you think of a movie, you have to think up a hell of a lot more. It's like these music videos are little movies, basically. This is a big one and I was blessed with actors with great speaking voices, so that's a certain kind of music. Sheryl has the most beautiful cadence to her voice. Jay [R. Ferguson] has a really nice, resonant voice. I was able to work with the music of their voices, which is a wonderful element. The two boys I cast are musicians. They provided songs for the soundtrack. Michael, the youngest one, actually came up with the theme to the film, which is beautiful. We already recorded that in these great studios here in St. Louis. It's wall to wall music. It's a love story, so the music has got to be memorable. We're aiming to have one of the most interesting and dynamic soundtracks that anyone's ever heard.
Doug: Have you had the narrative of this film with you for a while? Has it been something that you've been working on for an extended period of time?
Matt: The story's been with me for years. I used to live in Chicago. It all originated from seeing this woman on a bus. I started thinking about her. I didn't know her, so I was left with thoughts of her. All of a sudden, here I am with Sheryl Lee, riding a bus all these years later. It's something that's been with me for a long time. I really feel like the whole process has been about these characters that somehow came to life. I was always interested in them. It was really fun to see a whole crew and actors become interested in them as well. I hope the audience becomes interested in them. It's really about their life. They are living the life that we're telling. They always seemed independent of me. I received the vision, but it always seemed like it was more about them, than me. It's a love story, so it's philosophical about love, but that changes, too, over time.
Doug: A lot of your recent music video work had been with a small crew, some even just you with a tiny camera and an actress. How did the crew on this film compare to most of your music video work? Was it a much bigger crew than you're used to working with?
Matt: It was a crew of about thirty people every day. Depending on extras and stuff, sometimes that ballooned up to fifty people a day. It was a lot of people to worry about, and to feed, and communicate with. But there was a real joy. Everybody that worked on this was so passionate and committed and worked so hard. It was a very humbling experience for me to be at the center of all these people working in such a dedicated way to fulfill this vision. It was especially humbling.
Doug: I know that the film was produced by The Masses. Was the crew largely built with people with music video experience and people that you've worked with on music videos?
Matt: We only brought two Masses colleagues from Los Angeles: Chris Coats was our script supervisor and and there was Captain Jack was at the helm. Alex Pelly stayed back in our LA office and Judy Craig ran operations while we were gone. I missed them every day. It was mainly a local crew. I came here in June to discover what St. Louis had to offer and it's been great every day. You should see the little editing room they set up for me here is absolutely deluxe. It's just great. I love working here. I can't say enough about it. It was all new people, even my cinematographer. That was a hard decision, to figure out who to give the reins to on that. I knew that I couldn't DP this whole movie. I found a local guy, Chris Benson, who really did us proud. It was a local crew. I think our AD came from LA, but I hadn't met him before. It was all pretty fresh.
Doug: You mention music videos are a lot smaller and obviously take a lot less time. Do you find that you prefer living in the project for as long as you have now?
Matt: It's been great! We've created an imaginary reality that you can exist in. That's the beauty of making movies. You have to step outside of the rest of time in order to create this time. It's very bizarre, actually. I love reality, but making movies definitely takes you away from it as you create a new one. One that you absolutely tend to believe. It seems like the only thing that matters while you're doing it. I don't think anybody wanted it to be over. I know there is a lot of tears at the end. Smiles and tears. A lot of tears on the way to the airport. It was rough. It was rough coming back to the rest of the world. It settles back into itself and it's what we must do, but I can't wait to do it again.
Doug: Have you ever experienced that type of feeling on a music video project? Even the larger, bigger budget projects? Is that something that you find has been unique to something that is feature length? Something you only get by working with people for weeks on end?
Matt: It's about connecting with people. I've had some great opportunities to connect in a very personal way with some of the artists I worked with on music videos. There is that sense of nostalgia, even while you're there, on some music videos. I'm thinking particularly of the family I stayed with in Scotland when I did the "Withered Hand" video. Or working with Justin out in the woods during the Bon Iver video. Those are very powerful memories for me. But saying goodbye to Sheryl – who worked every day of our schedule and played our main character, Judy – that was tough. That was really, really tough to say goodbye. I knew that the next time I would see Sheryl, she wouldn't be Judy anymore. We all really did fall in love with Judy. If you create something imaginary, yet you commit to it and it becomes real for everybody. There is this character living amongst us named Judy and she's gone now. We can see her in the movie. Hopefully that will be fun for everybody, to check in with Judy. It was really hard to say goodbye. And Jay, too. And then Grace. Hell, everybody. These actors were very beautiful.
Doug: Do you find that your career in music videos, and your time spent so far in music videos, was able to prepare you for this project?
Matt: Oh, absolutely. I had the confidence to take chances. I've been experimenting with the camera for years. I really know how to whip that thing around. I'm bold, I make some bold choices. I don't think I would have the guts to make bold choices in terms of camera placement, or framing, or stuff that's very unconscious for me now. I don't have to sit there and think about it. I also move fast. Yeah, I absolutely think my style in directing parlays beautifully with feature filmmaking.

It's called shutdown PE and it predate the shell game version by 9 months
Doesn't help you at all against Levy deck. (which is more dangerous to PE than keyhole decks)
I think a successful PE deck these day needs to contain at least one copy of Scorched Earth. Runners are very confident (I've Had Worse) and Account Siphon is super rampant. With two brain damage, IHW won't save from the Scorch. If they end with 4 cards, EMP has a good shot of dodging the IHW, followed by a Scorch.
My 2013 Worlds deck had 2x SE and 1x SEA. This strategy is unexpected out of PE and quite effective.
I don't agree with SEA, but in this meta I might agree that 1 or 2 Scorched isn't a bad call.
I've still had reasonable success with Sutdown PE, especially vs MaxX if you can wait until after levy to start shutdowning their breakers from the board, taxing their recursion further.
Let's talk about Shutdown PE. IMO it's a solid Tier 2 deck that could probably be tuned up, or at least get close.
For anyone not familiar with the deck:
Example list:
Agenda (11)
Asset (5)
Upgrade (2)
Operation (15)
Barrier (3)
Code Gate (3)
Sentry (10)
Built with http://netrunner.meteor.com/
It seems that Stealth Andy is the new Andy and that build cares a lot less about Power Shutdown because their stealth sources are highly redundant.
Calimsha Kate is tough too with Astrolabe being expendable and how bad Lotus Field is against Cyber Cypher.
So let's think about how we can tune the deck for these matchups, given that O&C gave next to nothing to Jinteki.
Will-o would be good in eater matchups and is okay in all other ones.
I've been looking into the old threads of goziks(?) shutdown jinteki the last few days actually, and it looks like its still fairly weak to good shaper play. Are there any good changes to be made since the last versions (from the latest packs)?
Do you think Cortex Lock is a swap for Pup? I'm going to try that swap in my above list. Also been considering just porting the list to Tennin, the extra net damage isn't too threatening against good players, it mostly just adds to the attrition game, and playing Tennin puts more pressure on Runner to check unadvanced remotes. Would probably want to add Shocks for Archives in Tennin, though.
This version is far too slow for tourney play. I've played against it, and it's strong, but games last far too long with Jinteki when you are sacrificing your agendas to Archer.
Also guys, the Chronos Protocol Jinteki is coming out this cycle, I think that one will be pretty strong, until people start packing their Net Shields. The free information and surgical removal of cards seems potent.
Also if you don't see Power Shutdown in time you basically just lose, right?
If they have Eater then they have 3 copies in deck and shouldn't have much trouble finding another copy. Do you mean to put Keyhole on the bottom?
IMO, every deck is weak to good Shaper play. Possible changes I can think of:
Cortex Lock is a swap for Neural Katana. I would probably still play Pup. Having something cheap to cover Security Testing is so important.
In my experience the PE version is better. Tennin is very strong against weaker Runners that can't efficiently make runs, but it loses a lot of power in the big leagues. Buildling a remote spreads your ICE thin and good Runners will just Security Testing or Prepaid + Dirty Laundry into your Archives whenever they need to.
PE will just lucksack people and there's not much they can do about it.
No, in that case you're just a worse RP deck. Caprice and TFP are still busted, and you're playing normal good cards like Gift and Nisei.
This deck was always bad against Shaper. It was designed to beat Criminal. Now that Criminal has the redundancy of 8-9 cards that fuel Switchblade, and this deck only runs 2 power shutdown, and still has to beat Faerie on top of Switch, it's not good against Andy either. It's probably good against Leela, but it's still a heavily draw dependent deck, and doesn't really have much power when you don't find your shutdowns.
Is it worth updating an Archetype that will only have one ID that it should even theoretically have a good matchup against? Maxx has the recursion and Ice destruction built it, Gimmick Val can keep Archer/Grim from ever getting rezzed to start with. I just don't see how this concept could work nowadays unless you were playing all Leela, all day.
I feel like this deck could be good when Chronos Protocol shows up. Being able to snipe breakers and/or recursion from hand with certainty gives its disruption some serious teeth. That being said, we lose the net damage on score which provided some of that disruption. Not sure if it will be good, but I think it will definitely be something to revisit.
It's definitely not the winningest deck. I won't be playing it at Regionals, but I do like to brew decks that play differently from others, which this one does.
I do think that it's the least bad PE right now in a meta where both Andy + Feedback Filter and Calimsha Kate are extremely favoured against Cambridge PE.
I disagree that MaxX beats this deck. In my experience Chronos Project is pretty easy to score and can reliably deny their Levy and miscellaneous good stuff, which puts MaxX on a clock.
You can manage the insta-Parasite spam by either killing Clone Chips, or killing Datasuckers. Himitsu counters Knifed as well
I think Shutdown is in a bad place right now. It can still hit standard criminal pretty hard but Silencers give Stealth Andy some resistance. It was never great against Shaper and PPVP with Astrolabe now make it impossible to target a program. Used to be amazing vs Anarch but there is so much recursion and Eater is a major problem.
I have to agree, having played a fair share of Titanism with it. I feel against every faction now it's rare you'll get good value out of Shutdown. The hardware clause actually ended up making the card weaker, IMO
Cortex Lock is probably the card I am most worried about. It's definitely a strong card for Jinteki. And will make a PE deck strong, but I'm not sure if it'll make it viable in itself.
Does PE Shutdown play Neural Katana? I haven't see it on any list in a while. I think it's a swap for most, if not all, Komainu. Save 3 credits, doesn't tax Mimic, but you need 2 cards (Mimic + datasucker/parasite), to break with Mimic and that's probably the best solution until the runner uses up all of their MU. Has a similar downside to Komainu, because the runner can control how much damage they take, but CL works in PE Shell Game's favor where they want the runner to install programs, while they gain credits, set up traps and score some points. Also synergizes with Housekeeping.
Until Net-Ready Eyes comes out at least.
Net Ready Eyes is gonna be so good.

Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan.
Seven months ago, on March 30, 2008, Ric Flair â<80><9c>retiredâ<80> from professional wrestling and soon after parted company with WWE. Hulk Hoganâ<80><99>s last high profile appearance was SummerSlam on August 20, 2006 when he beat Randy Orton. Now, he is focused on his marginally successful Celebrity Championship Wrestling on CMT.
Whatâ<80><99>s the significance, you ask? We are seven months into a wrestling business without Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan being in high profile positions.
Iâ<80><99>m not trying to downplay what Hogan and Flair are doing. They are enjoying success beyond the realm of WWE and TNA. But neither in a major promotion? I knew it would happen someday, but here we are. A wrestling business where we cannot count on seeing either man on an upcoming national broadcast or pay-per-view.
Hogan vs. Flair, to me, was the last true dream match. Throughout almost the entire eighties decade, everyone speculated what would happen if the â<80><9c>Hulksterâ<80> and the â<80><9c>Nature Boyâ<80> would meet in the ring. It never seemed likely. Both men were ensconced in the cocoon of their respective promotions. Hogan in the WWF. Flair in the NWA/WCW.
Thanks to the pinheaded Jim Herd, Flair went to the WWF in 1991. The dream became reality. Or was it a nightmare.
Everyone got chills when they saw Bobby Heenan parading around with the NWA strap and uttering a name we never thought we would hear. Seeing Flair come out on that now famous episode of Prime Time Wrestling was a â<80><9c>mark outâ<80> moment for even the most cynical fan. Flair finally facing off with Hogan on Paul Bearerâ<80><99>s â<80><9c>Funeral Parlorâ<80> interview segment was almost too much to comprehend.
The match would happen. Hogan vs. Flair. Surely on a major network broadcast or WrestleMania.
Nope. In a botched move that rivals the â<80><9c>Invasionâ<80> angle of 2001, Vince McMahon shanked the creative football. It missed the uprights. In fact, it never came close.
Still, we had Hogan and Flair in the same promotion. There was still magic, no matter how mediocre it turned out as far as a payoff in the form of a high profile match.
Years later, Hogan followed Flair to WCW. Seeing them together wasnâ<80><99>t so special anymore. We became accustomed to the two of them encountering each other. The magic was gone.
Today, we have a Hogan and Flair-free wrestling business. Scratch that. Thanks to a new direction in WWE, itâ<80><99>s not â<80><9c>proâ<80> or â<80><9c>wrestling.â<80> The â<80><9c>sportsâ<80> is gone from â<80><9c>entertainment.â<80> To save a few bucks in taxes, Vinnie Mac is finally extricating those dirty words and becoming a true entertainment mogul.
But I digress.
Flair and Hogan have been such a strong part of the WRESTLING business for so many years, we just got used to them being around and being together. We may see them again on WWE or TNA television. We may see a match between them again. But, for now, they are pursuing lower profile endeavors.
No Flair. No Hogan. Who woulda thunk it?
Have a news tip? Attended an event and want to send a live report?

A published writer said to me that a really good story does not need any backstory. I had to think about that for a little while. I must admit that the pull to reveal all the background information about my Main Character (MC) or the backstory of the novel is quite strong. In fact, it is almost a compunction with me. How on earth is my reader going to know that my main character is the way she is if I do not mention that her grandparent has died or that her father has left them? The mistake I made (and I should have known better) is that I did a major info dump right at the beginning of my novel.
Oh, I interspersed it with the action but there was no denying it was a major info dump in the first four pages and at this point of the game, shame on me! What is so damn embarrassing is that as soon as it was pointed out to me, it was painfully obvious. Instead of dropping my MC right in the middle of the action in the opening pages (or ideally, the opening lines), I went right into backstory–all the stuff that had happened to bring her to the action. Rewriting it, I dropped most of the backstory and then dropped my MC right into the action. As it should be. Once I removed the backstory, I saw that a) it really was not needed and b) I began to show instead of tell.
This is not to say that sometimes backstory is not needed. Because sometimes it is. It is important. But again, if it does not advance the story or if it bogs it down, it needs to be dropped. Backstory should be seamless, subtle and unobtrusive. Rather than writing paragraphs explaining backstory or using flashbacks, try paring it down and blending your backstory one sentence at a time. Drip–feeding your back story will create a nice pace, curiosity in the reader and tension.

COPD can make you feel tired all the time and still make it difficult to sleep. It can be exhausting to eat, and the medications can take all the taste out of your food. You may be self-conscious about your oxygen or a chronic cough and become more reluctant to go out in public. You may have been active for all of your life and now can't do the things you once enjoyed. All of these challenges can put you at risk for developing depression.
Depression is a miserable experience that leaves us feeling disconnected from our lives and often without hope that anything will ever feel better again. When depression is left untreated, it drains both your brain and your body. You not only feel bad, but you also have less energy to do the things you want to do, including taking care of yourself and managing your COPD. It can also make you feel hopeless - as if things will never get any better - and then you might not want to bother following your treatment plan.
You may say, "Well, look at all I've lost, shouldn't I be depressed?" The answer could be both yes and no. You certainly may have lost a great deal, and it is completely understandable that you may be feeling depressed. However, that doesn't mean that you have to live with that feeling. Depression is a very common problem that can be treated. Your doctor not only knows about depression but has successfully treated many other patients. All you need to do is talk to him or her, and you'll get help.
Treatment can include medication, individual psychotherapy, or family therapy. Individual psychotherapy can provide support and encouragement as well as teach you how to set new goals and develop new coping strategies. Family therapy can provide education to family members about the illness and help the family to adjust well. Usually a combination of treatments is most effective.
Should you talk to your doctor about being depressed? If you feel or identify with five or more items on this list, talk to your doctor about the possibility of depression:

Treatment Alternatives for Low Back Pain
Patient : My best friend is a 24 year old female who has a slipped disc in her lower back and degenerative disc disease. She has been Oxycontin for a couple of years (that I know of). She can walk fine, but I notice time to time she will bend down and squat (as it eases the pain). The doctors that she has seen here in Georgia do want want to operate for some reason that I am unaware of. I'm curious as to what are some good options because she has a dependency on the Oxycontin now, and though she talks about wanting to fix it, she states that the doctors she has seen haven't been able to fix it or recommend any good alternative methods of treatment. I know for a fact that she said there was one option to inject in or around her lower back but wasn't given any more information. Please help!
Doctor : During the acute phase of the pain, the physical therapy is very useful and involves use of ultrasound, TENS, heat to co ntrol pain, teaching the patient back-protection techniques (e.g., proper lifting, posture awareness). A lumbar stabilization program is also useful in instructing the patient in various techniques to control his back pain, and he or she also works on strengthening the stabilizing muscles of the lumbar spine. If after follow a physical therapy program, and try every conservative measure the pain and the neurological symptoms do not improve, the surgical possibility should be considered to release the compressed nerve and avoid more damage.

Antique 1900 Pendulum Regulator Ansonia Wall Clock Grandfather Clock
This item has been shown times.
Antique 1900 Pendulum Regulator Ansonia Wall Clock Grandfather Clock :
1900 Pendulum Regulator AnsoniaWall Clock
(Measures approx. 32" long x 17" wide x 5" deep)
This sweet gem, that was said to be around 50 years old at the time, was purchased by my father over 50 years ago now from a gentleman who had previously worked for his father to lay rails for a railroad line expanding west.
This amazing piece of history is an antique, Circa 1900, Ansonia 30 day Mahogany Wall Clock. To my knowledge it has only been on display out of sunlight and at times in storage. I remember it working but don't want to promise because for the last several years though it was displayed we didn't wind it.
It was recently placed in conditioned storage. The pendulum has been carefully removed for transport. It measures 32" long x 17" wide x 5" deep and all of the parts are there including the second hand and key.
Please see the pictures for more description but a seasoned clock collector at one time said the veneer is simple to repair and the paper number's face is easily replaced with one that looks antique but would not be torn.
The majority of the clock is solid wood in beautiful condition. It is quite handsome on exhibit. You'll enjoy it's rich patina.
The Octagon and drop shapes are simple, bold and striking together …allowing the piece to complement and balance many furniture arrangements and styles. It looks equally at home with deep maple, walnut, cherry, mahogany and other rich woods as well as painted furniture.
The pictures above isthe actual item you will receive.

Credential Conversation
A group of national experts on education and workforce policy released a report this week that identifies problems in the current credentialing system and calls for improvements to increase transparency, trust and portability.
WDQC Director Rachel Zinn signed on to the report, "Call for a National Conversation on Creating a Competency-based Credentialing Ecosystem," along with leaders from partner organizations Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), National Skills Coalition and New America Foundation.
The report notes that employers, students, workers and policymakers are increasingly unable to determine the quality of credentials because the credentialing market is so complex. It outlines a vision for the widespread use of competency-based credentials with validated quality, and poses questions designed to jumpstart a conversation about the vision among employers, professional societies, government, training providers and other key stakeholders.
The paper aligns with WDQC's advocacy for better data on credentials. In addition to being able to measure attainment of a range of credentials — including non-degree credentials like certificates, certifications and licenses — multiple constituencies would benefit from information about their quality and value.

Boris Raymond's first novel, "The Twelfth Vulture of Romulus", is a commendable effort. A former professor of history and sociology at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Raymond weaves his knowledge of the history and political processes of the late Roman Empire into a tale of intrigue and struggle for power between traditional Roman oligarchs and the increasing number of barbarian cultures who permeated Roman society both as slaves from the conquered lands and as members of Rome's auxiliaries, legions, and officer corps.
The narrative swirls around the experiences of Orestes, a one-time secretary to Attila the Hun, who joins the ranks of the legions and, with his "qualifications of courage, industry, and experience, advanced with rapid steps in the military profession"1. In the process, he gains the notice of such prominent Roman aristocrats as Senator Aurelius Cassiodorus , chief of the Imperial Secret Service and ambassador to Attila during the reign of Emperor Valentinian III. His ultimate struggle for control of the Western Empire eventually pits Orestes against Odovacar, the son of Attila's lieutenant, Edecon.
Raymond's portrayal of the culture of the Huns and the personage of Attila recall the observations of the Greek writer Priscus.
"A luxurious meal, served on silver plate, had been made ready for us and the barbarian guests, but Attila ate nothing but meat on a wooden trencher. In everything else, too, he showed himself temperate; his cup was of wood, while to the guests were given goblets of gold and silver. His dress, too, was quite simple, affecting only to be clean. The sword he carried at his side, the latchets of his Scythian shoes, the bridle of his horse were not adorned, like those of the other Scythians, with gold or gems or anything costly." – Priscus, fr. 8 in Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum.
Raymond peoples his novel with many actual historical figures as well as fictional characters to shed insight into the politics and social life in the late Empire. I knew little about this period of Roman history before reading this book except the events portrayed in USA Network's miniseries, "Attila". So, I found the number of characters and their interconnections a bit overwhelming.
I think I would have excluded some of the plot entanglements to provide a more easily understood core message for less experienced readers. For example, the subplot of the events leading up to the settlement of the holy man, Severinus, in Noricum could probably have been better served in a novel of its own.
I also think Odovacar's experiences should have paralleled Orestes' throughout the novel to add more tension to the ultimate confrontation between the two men. Odovacar pretty much disappears about one-third of the way through the novel and does not resurface until the last few chapters. The reader is provided with a brief summary of his intervening experiences. But, since he will represent the fatal clash between the traditionalists and the Romanized barbarians that will inherit the Western Empire, I think his importance in the novel should have equaled that of Orestes to provide an antagonist of equal stature.
However, the work reveals much about a period of history seldom explored in detail and it has served to stimulate my interest in a number of the individuals who took the world stage in this tumultuous time. I hope Dr. Raymond will continue to share his understanding of past cultures with a public audience in this way. I have always felt that reading works that combine history and creative writing is the most memorable way to gain a knowledge and appreciation of other societies.
