- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Lifespan House > Episode 10: Landscaping Begins
Installing a Granite Vanity Top
Landscaper Josh Garvin explains the work underway in the yard. To start, the gardening team begins digging the irrigation system and outlining the back patio. Next, Bob visits Middleton Place, home to some of the most exquisite gardens in the South. Back on the site of the project house, a beautiful granite vanity top is put into place in the first-floor bathroom.
- Part 1: Discussing the Home's Landscaping and Hardscaping
- Part 2: Tour of Middleton Place
- Part 3: Installing a Granite Vanity Top
- Bob looks over the shoulders of Rick and Brian (from Star Granite Interiors), as they install a granite vanity top in the first-floor bathroom.
Bob Vila heads to the Low Country: Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Steeped in tradition, this historic suburb of Charleston is the scene, not only of a remarkable new home, but of a remarkable transformation in suburban living at the developing community of I'On.
Also from Lifespan House
Episode 1 - New Project BeginsDescription:
Bob begins a brand-new project in the heart of South Carolina's low country. Located in Mt. Pleasant, the neighborhood of I'On values community living and puts an emphasis on nurturing a traditional small-town feeling.

 Our project, the Duany Plater-Zybek "Lifespan" home, is designed with state-of-the-art features, and its construction has been planned around new building techniques developed to make the house more resistant to extreme weather.

 Bob tours the coastal town of Mt. Pleasant and meets the contractor, Kevin Kalman, and other I'On developers to discuss building strategies and techniques.

 Work has begun on the first floor deck, and Steve Barth from Willamette Industries is on-hand to explain the EZ Frame system being used. Additional information is available regarding the benefits of building with engineered wood.
Episode 2 - Working on the First FloorDescription:
Carpenter Bob Ryley joins joins to continue work on the first floor. First, Bob looks at the tongue-and-groove decking system, before moving on to framing the first-floor walls.

 In downtown Charleston, Bob Vila visits the Clemson University high-wind test house, built to demonstrate the newest building techniques for hurricane resistance.

 Back on site, Bryan Readling (from the APA) discusses which techniques are being used in the Mount Pleasant project. Additional information is available regarding constructing and retrofitting homes to withstand hurricanes, installing structural adhesives, storm shutters, and tips for a better roof.
Episode 3 - Framing the RoofDescription:
Bob walks the I'On neighborhood, which is built around myriad architectural styles and designs. He remarks on some of these variations, before returning to the project house site, where the roof framing is underway.

 Bryan Readling (from the APA) joins to review the products being used on the roof, including Peel & Seal tape, a joint sealer, and LP TechShield, a reflective sheathing product.

 Back on the ground, construction consultant Steve Easley demonstrates how to install Tyvek wrap around the house.

MeetingXpress aims to distinguish itself in the crowded online meeting planning space by narrowing its focus. Its concept is the same as many other dot-coms--a Web site where planners can search a database of meeting properties and send RFPs. However, MeetingXpress (www.meetingxpress.com), which will begin beta testing in January, bills itself as the "small meeting solution," to be used for meetings of 100 rooms or fewer.
The MeetingXpress database will not be populated with every meeting property it can find, but rather with select properties from 50 U.S. cities. Each city will be represented by several hotels in each of three tiers (three-, four-, and five-star), for a maximum of 30 properties per city. The properties will pay for their listings, but the site's main source of revenue will be from commissions on the business it books. For the moment, that commission will be set at 5 percent, according to Eric Rosenberg, director of business development-technology for the Southfield, Mich.-based company.
Finally, the company will work with its "preferred network" of hotels to create Complete Meeting Packages for small meetings, similar to the all-inclusive pricing available at conference centers. The site's general release date is set for March.

Two Win All-Expenses-Paid Peroni Prize Trip to Italy
19 February 2013
Accra, Ghana, February 14, 2013 - Two lucky winners of a Peroni promotion that ran in four image outlets in Accra will enjoy a three-day, all-expenses-paid trip to Italy. The promotion, whose final draw took place at Rhapsody's (Accra Mall), was to reward patrons of Peroni Nastro Azzurro, a distinctive, crisp Italian beer that offers Italian style in a bottle. It is a super-premium brand produced by SABMiller's Italy subsidiary and imported exclusively by Accra Brewery Limited. It is made with the same passion, innate style, attention to detail and craftsmanship of world-renowned Italian icons like Ducati, Ferrari and Armani. Like all things Italian, it is tailored to deliver a distinctive, crisp taste.
Kankoh Gregory Akannue, a fashion designer, and Svitlana Holm Fleischer, who emerged as ultimate winners, will undertake a three-day trip to Rome that will include a tour of the Peroni Brewery, an excursion to the Castel Romano Outlet, a promenade in Rome Centre, and also a live match between Roma and Juventus, among others. Both of them were filled with so much joy, as they had no plans of travelling to Italy anytime soon, but Peroni Nastro Azzurro has made this possible. Greg said, "I am so excited with the package and will continue to enjoy my stylish Peroni each day with my friends." Svitlana puts it this way, "I cannot wait to get to Italy! Thanks to SABMiller, through their Peroni brand, for making this possible."
The two winners will each come back with a customised Italian jacket. Twelve other consumers also won consolation Peroni gift items.
According to Accra Brewery Brands Manager James Sarfo, "ABL is rated the number-one contributor in Africa to Peroni volume sales. We are therefore delighted and deemed it necessary to reward our loyal consumers through our Dons of Style promotion. To our winners we say 'ayeekoo,' whilst wishing them a safe journey to and from Italy."
Notes to editors:

The boat launch is situated behind the Seaside Convention Center on the West side of the Necanicum River at 1st Ave. There is also a peddle boat rental area open from Spring Break to Labor Day if you did not bring along a kayak or canoe.
Launch your kayak from the wide boat launch gradient and head South towards to town.
Proceed South along the river and through the town of Seaside with buildings bordering both sides of the river under Broadway Bridge and along to Ave A bridge a few hundred yards away.
Go under the bridge and into more open water no less sparsely populated with views of Tillamook Head in the distance in the direction that you are heading.
At the island you can head right or left around it. The left side as you head south (out on your journey) is the narrower side, but it pays to go around both sides on your journey to add a little different perspective along the trail.
This is our favorite part of the journey. There is a small ramp at Cartwright Park to your left after the island than you could take a rest at, or indeed get picked up at.
The narrowing river bordered by low hanging trees makes for great wildlife watching and listening as well as a sense of being along in a relaxing environment. The river tends... More
The turn around point for the journey. Depending on the time of year the river will either be a little shallower here or may be moving a little faster. Either way it's time to turn around and head back through the wildlife trail part of the route and back out into more open water after the island.
Try the other route around the island on the way ... More
1st Ave Bridge is the site of the Pearl Harbor Memorial and is the farthest memorial West before Hawaii and considered to be the only memorial in contiguous USA West of the Mississippi........
A place to take a rest and have picnic along your journey if you desire.

Piggydb is a Web application provided as a self-contained package that contains a Web server and database engine.
SPindent (Server Page Indenter) is a JSP/PHP structural validator and indenter. It performs structural compatibility check of inner HTML generated from "parallel" branches of process flow statements such as if/else. It allows for those HTML branches to have different entry and exit HTML stack points, as far as the branches are compatible. This allows for verification and proper indentation of handy workarounds, as well as rusty pyramids. It is based on MixedCC (Mixed Compiler Compiler).
Roundhouse is a modular J2EE application platform that allows applications to combine Struts modules, JSR-168 portlets, and Web services into a single application. It is intended to take the drudgery out of new J2EE application development by providing existing user and security architecture, navigation, and logging although it can be used standalone with no additional development. It ships with forum and blog modules along with several handy portlets which essentially make it a a portal based blog and forums application. The architecture is Struts-based and includes a Struts-based JSR-168 Portlet container. Developers extend Roundhouse by creating new standalone modules which can be independently developed without mucking around in the Roundhouse codebase and merged with Roundhouse and any number of other modules at build time. Modules can be created, packaged as MARF files, and redistributed.
HTMLSplicer is a toolkit that provides methods to compose complex HTML documents from simpler HTML documents, called templates. It can be used to generate servlet responses in Java Web applications, without adopting a full-fledged presentation layer framework like JSP, JSF, Apache Wicket, or GWT.
WidgetServer is a Java/XML server-side GUI-framework which enables an application to run as either a monolithic Swing app, a client/server Swing app, or as a Web app without any change and without loss of functionality. An Eclipse Plugin is available as well. A rich widget set is supported that includes tree views, tabbed panes, split panels, and much more. Animations, all types of events, and several effects are supported, as well. A unified widget-based, object-oriented programming interface for Web and Swing GUIs is offered to the developer to control and assemble the GUI. Web applications are fully AJAX enabled. For Swing client/server applications, the framework handles client/server communication, including compression and security layers.

I have a baby boy due in mid-July. For the entirety of my pregnancy we have referred to him as Baby 2.0.
I have a three-year-old son named Cooper. What my husband and I love about Cooper's name is that it's (a) has a family connection, (b) is a last-name as a first-name, and (c) doesn't have a default nickname (like Matt for Matthew or Tom for Thomas).
There are many last-name as first-names that my husband and I like, such as Jackson or Benson. Our last name is Gibson, though ... so most anything ending in -son sounds a bit cartoonish. We also find names ending in -on, such as Ashton, or even -n, such as Gavin, a bit harsh when combined with our last name. This obviously eliminates so many great names.
We've researched both sides of our family for another acceptable family name and have come up with nothing. We feel Cooper's names have pretty well covered any "family obligation," so we don't have to consider that in naming Baby 2.0.
We're currently considering Sawyer. It goes well with Cooper, is the last-name as a first-name, has literary connections, and shares its first letter with my mother-in-law's name (while Cooper shares its first letter with my mother's name). However, we just don't seem to be feeling it.
We also like Maxwell. It's one of my husband's best friend's middle names. Joaquin Phoenix, one of my favorite actors, also played a character named Maxwell California (from 8 mm, a very dark film, but the character wasn't dark). I don't mind the default nickname, Max. My only real hesitation with Max is that Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera recently named their sons Max. And I think Max Gibson sounds a bit odd ... can't put my finger on it, though.
The middle name will likely be Pate - it's my husband's middle name and his mother's middle name. Again, it's not something we have to use. Other possibilities for middle names: Benson (a friend's last name) or Yaboa (a friend's middle name, it's of African decent and pronounced just as it looks YA-BO-A). The more "common" the first name, the more creative we'll be with the middle name. California is also a contender (my husband is from SoCal), and I love the combination of Maxwell California.
I'm looking for more name suggestions and perhaps some reassurance on the name Maxwell. I'm really hoping he arrives and looks "just like a _____." But I want to be prepared if that doesn't happen!
So, there it is. I really love your opinions and the comments from your readers. As a mom with a nameless baby, reading your blog has been a wonderful, educational distraction during my pregnancy.
Okay! *brisk clap* So it sounds like we want to concentrate on surname names here. I think Sawyer is a great choice: the first time I heard it on a baby, I immediately thought "OMG GREAT NAME." It is terrible with my own surname, but it's great with yours. (Should we use the word "great" again? GREAT!)
I agree with you that there is something I can't put a finger on about the name Max Gibson. Is it maybe just too much like Mel Gibson? It doesn't sound the same, but it's three letters starting with M and maybe that's what does it. Or maybe it blends too well and turns into something like Mack Skibson. Still, it belongs in the poll.
I'm curious as always to know what The Baby Name Wizard suggests as sibling names. For Cooper, the book suggests Carter, Brody, Addison, Walker, Davis. Well. Addison is still in the Top 1000 for boys, but it's #11 for girls so I wouldn't touch it with an 11-foot pole for boys anymore. Carter is a great name, but it repeats not only the C but also the -er, and I think you're completely right about avoiding that. Walker, too, repeats the -er. Brody works, and so does Davis. Brody Gibson. Davis Gibson. Nice!
Let's find some more options.
You can't get much more surnamey than the name Smith, and I think it's adorable. Picture a little toddler with sticky-up hair. Smith! It's like Seth, but with more impact. And I like the repeating short-i sound: Smith Gibson.
Would Everett be to your tastes? It's one of my favorite surname names. It doesn't have any tempting nicknames, and I like it with Cooper. Everett Gibson.
Wesley is another good one: a long-standing surname name without the trendy feeling of some of the more recent surname names. I love the nickname Wes. Wesley Gibson.
So here's our list of possibilities:
Sawyer Gibson; Cooper and Sawyer
Maxwell Gibson; Cooper and Maxwell
Brody Gibson; Cooper and Brody
Davis Gibson; Cooper and Davis
Smith Gibson; Cooper and Smith
Everett Gibson; Cooper and Everett
Wesley Gibson; Cooper and Wesley
[Poll results:
Sawyer: 47 votes, roughly 26%
Maxwell: 4 votes, roughly 2%
Brody: 19 votes, roughly 10%
Davis: 23 votes, roughly 13%
Smith: 35 votes, roughly 19%
Everett: 25 votes, roughly 14%
Wesley: 28 votes, roughly 15%]
[Name Update! Melissa writes:
My little guy was due on July 18 - we were consider Sawyer or Maxwell at the time. Well, he was born on July 4! Happy and healthy at 7 lbs. 14 oz. and head full of light brown hair.
After reading the comments and seeing the poll, we still just weren't feeling it. So, I told my husband: Listen, I picked Cooper's first name and that worked out, so I'm just going to pick something and you're going to agree. At that moment, a Toyota Camry commercial came on and I said, "Camden." We both liked it instantly.
Camden and Cooper are quite a bit matchier than we wanted, but we're not sure we'll have a third. We figured we'd use it and should a third come along, well, we'll deal with that then. We also figured, we both loved Cooper, why wouldn't we love a similar name? Camden is on the softer side, is a last name, isn't popular (in the 200s on the SSA site), and is similar enough to Caden and Cameron that it's not too weird. Also, Camden means "winding river" which I thought was so peaceful.
For his middle name, we went with Jack. I know there's been quite a bit of discussion on the blog about Jack as a middle name, but I couldn't resist. Camden Jack ... reminds me of a nature show host or a pirate. I love Animal Planet and my three year old loves pirates, so we're all happy!
Thank you!

Revisiting the presidential debates between Al Gore and George W. Bush tells the tale. At the Oct. 3, 2000, debate in Boston, both candidates spoke of what their administrations would do with what was then a projected budget surplus. Both candidates were promising to spend money from a surplus that never really developed. From Bush, the eventual winner of the 2000 election, vague promises fell by the wayside.
Oh, Bush kept his vow on tax cuts that primarily benefited the wealthiest Americans. However, his promises of fiscal discipline were never realized.
So, a line-item tally of a $16 trillion deficit shows that Bush's tax cuts and wars fought in Iraq and Afghanistan account for a major chunk of the deficit. Obama's last three federal budgets account for less than one-third of the $16 trillion total.
The point of this trip down budgetary memory lane is to remind us that what's said in the Obama-Romney presidential debates — as well as Thursday's Biden-Ryan vice presidential debate — matters. Voters should expect and demand more details.
In last week's first presidential debate and Thursday's vice presidential debate, the Republican ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan has yet to fully articulate the specifics of its plans.
Thursday's debate moderator offered Ryan multiple opportunities to explain how a President Romney and Vice President Ryan would go about cutting taxes, lowering spending and reforming entitlements. Ryan avoided the question each time; the best he could offer was that the details would be worked out once they are in office.
To the delight of some and the head-banging frustration of others, the template is fairly well set for Team Obama. His administration will toe a fairly Keynesian fiscal policy line that operates from a three-legged stool of economics — trying to balance government taxing, spending and regulation with the interests of consumers and growth of business. More liberal Americans will decry the Obama method as too timid. More conservative Americans will proclaim it the second coming of Joe Stalin. Still, what you've already seen is likely what you'll get again if Obama wins a second term.
The burden is on Team Romney to lay out details. In other times, Americans have been persuaded by candidates like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, who vowed their administrations would cut taxes and decrease spending. In both instances, the promised spending reductions never followed the tax cuts, and huge deficits grew as a result.
If Romney and Ryan intend to follow a different course, they owe it to Americans to spell out the specifics.

How, and why, I survived an Arctic Enema
Last week, after two decades or so of prevarication, I made my will. Tough Mudder does that to a fellow.
If you were watching the telly on Saturday, you might have seen footage of 10,000 or more weekend warriors, SAS pseuds, Bear Grylls wannabes, muscle heads, gym bunnies, fools and otherwise completely normal people taking part in Sydney's first ever Tough Mudder.
This is my story, or at least the story of a troop of seven 40-somethings who competed to the very best of their limited ability in what is billed as "probably the toughest event on the planet".
Tough Mudder events are described by its organisers as "hardcore 18-20 km obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie". Some half a million people have already endured them since the first in Pennsylvania in May 2010. More than $3 million has been raised for veterans' charities, which is a nice thought to consider as you are being electrocuted in the 11th and 21st obstacles.
The first Australian Mudder was held in Phillip Island in March, and I'm told that plenty who competed in Victoria headed north for Saturday and Sunday's events at the picturesque Glenworth Valley, Peats Ridge. They must have been the knowing types running past me with ease as I ground my way arduously through mud pits and uphill climbs.
So what's it like? Well, let's talk about my waterproof, shockproof camera that has survived the Kokoda Track and a 100 kilometre Oxfam Trailwalker. It expired somewhere between the second and third obstacles and despite a night's drying out has not recovered, so sadly there's no video of my exertions. Other cameras were seemingly made of sterner stuff and their owners have already posted some great material on Youtube.
So that's the Tough bit. The Mudder portion is something else again. Never have I seen more heavy, cloying mud, even on the way to Kokoda. The 18th obstacle, the so-called Mud Mile, was poorly named for two reasons: it was probably only two hundred metres of mud pools followed by mud hillocks and then more mud quicksand, and it seemed more like 10 miles. I'm still coughing up black muck.
But it is moments like this where the camaraderie kicks in; you simply will not make it without having someone pull you through the worst. Only God knows how the first person exited.
The same must be said for the penultimate set piece, the "Everest" wall. About five metres high, you run full pelt at a slippery half pipe and just as you start to lose traction and slide, lunge forward and hope that someone lying on top can grab your arms and hoist you over. My team-mates were heroes here, and in most other places where upper body strength was required.
I slipped badly once while carrying a log around a course of more slippery mud, and wrenched my ankle slightly. Others were far less fortunate, as evidenced by the steady stream of ambulances coming and going during the day. But in all honesty, if you are relatively fit, adventurous, open-minded, lucky, don't mind getting ridiculously dirty and avoid doing things you know are sillier than the organisers intended, you'll get through. Finishing in a fraction less than four hours and with all team members' limbs intact is testament to that.
Highlights? Well, the title of this article refers to obstacle number 2, the "Arctic Enema". Previously known as the "Chernobyl Jacuzzi", this impediment was formerly a garishly coloured ice cube bath that must be traversed testicle-tighteningly quickly. The organisers have since realised that the addition of countless tonnes of mud from contestants is going to quickly leave flourescent dyed water looking less like a radioactive pond than … well, you get the drift. As a heart-starter, it's better than any known coffee brand.
Much is made of your being hit by 10,000 volts from wires hanging down on two obstacles, including the very last only metres from the finish. You will be stung, you will suffer and you might even be knocked over. But the amps are low, there's no residual pain and to be honest watching people being zapped in a non-life threatening way is hilariously funny. Don't think less of me for saying that – it really is.
Low lights? I'm glad I wasn't caught in the traffic jams on the way into the Valley. For this I can't blame the organisers; once at the venue, everything ran like clockwork.
I also started but then chickened out of two obstacles that involved tunnelling in tight dark places. Claustrophobia was one fear I could not defeat on the day.
Will I do it again? No, I don't think so - the real Mount Everest beckons in two weeks. So is this what a mid-life crisis looks like? Probably, but it's the best sort, mud and all.

Yay! How fun! I love those sorts of event :D :D.. Looking forward to the Warrior Dash in November :D :D
TChong says:
not being a spoilt sport- great fun, good cause,
but a "stream of ambulances" isnt a recommmendation, nor should it be seen as a badge of honour, but more shows a poorly planned event, or some participants who've downed too many Red Bulls.
Trying to beat the clock is the undoing, rusing, tripping
Sue them says:
What, a dangerous risky event that hasn't been shut down yet? You should see if you can't sue someone for your camera. A million or two should be enough to kill the fun and satisfy the cotton wool brigade.
Slothy says:
I did it yesterday! It was great fun, although less fun today as I count the various scrapes and bruises and my muscles protest at any dramatic movements.
RIP my dignity, Mud Mile 2012. Never forget. I've never felt so helpless floating in that concrete masquerading as mud, without even the strength to pull my knees to my chest so I could stand up.
My waterproof camera survived the whole event, although I was reliant on drink stops and river crossings to periodically clean the mud off the lens. Unfortunately that means I couldn't get photos of some of the most entertaining obstacles.
It's probably the best thing that ever happened to me health and fitness wise as well. I exhausted myself doing the 5km Warrior Dash in February, and then was slowly talked into giving TM a try. Between then and now I've been training 2-3 times a week with Battle Camp, 1-2 times with my TM team mates and playing indoor soccer on Sundays. I ran (ran!) a 10km race a fortnight ago and felt fine, and when I hit the 5km mark in TM couldn't believe that I had been so tired so early back in Warrior Dash.
The camaraderie was amazing as well. I met so many great people just jogging alongside them for a bit and without exception people were encouraging and friendly. I need to give a shout out: to everyone who gave a hand, a push, a boost, a shoulder, or an encouraging word, to me or to any of their fellow Mudders, THANK YOU!

Junket Junkie
Scottish celebrity meets a Baltimorean
Published: March 20, 2013
We talked with Gerard Butler, star of such films as 300 and How to Train Your Dragon, in a room in a fancy-pants hotel in Washington, D.C., where it seems they always bring famous people for interviews. We were supposed to be there at 8 A.M., so of course we were late, but that was cool, because the Movie People were about an hour behind schedule, trotting principals of Mr. Butler's new film, Olympus Has Fallen, around the hotel for various junket-style encounters. We kept freaking out internally and wondering if we would screw up Mr. Butler's first name as "Gerald" instead of "Gerard," so we kept testing ourselves, in our mind. When we met Mr. Butler he was not eating anything, but he was wearing clothes.
City Paper: Good morning, sir.
Gerard Butler [entering room]: How are you?
CP: I'm good, I'm Joe.
GB: Joe. I love the way you're sitting there [referring to my profoundly relaxed posture in the comfy fancy-pants hotel chair].
CP: Just trying to get a couple little extra moments of rest.
GB: I know exactly what you're about.
CP: The coffee wasn't gettin' it.
GB: I have some blow if you want some, that's what I use.
CP: Blow, what is this "blow" you speak of? We're recording right now. [To microphone] HE IS KIDDING. ABOUT THE DRUGS. [To Mr. Butler, quietly] But maybe later.
GB: Wouldn't it be funny, if he has a secretary? [Baffled transcription-secretary noises] "TMZ, here I come."
Movie Person [enters]: Sorry to interrupt. Antoine [Fuqua, the film's director] is running a little late, we're gonna start you guys—
GB: [In jest, loudly, but nothing approaching 300-level screaming] He's LATE?
MP: I know.
GB: What the FUCK? How dare he be late?
MP: He's gonna circle back later. [He did, and said good morning to me as they kicked me out of the room.]
GB: That's just because today I'm a bit late, but he's even later—
CP: Well, that's good, because I was late too.
GB: OK, good, we're all in late mode today.
CP: [Continuing to waste valuable movie-interview time with attempt at humor] So I'm speaking with the late Gerard Butler...
GB: [Laughs, Scottishly] That's funny.
CP: It is the occasion of this publicity junket, as I was told—they told me it was gonna be "junket-style," and I'm like, "What is that?"
GB: Junkie-style.
CP: What I was dreading was the one where everybody's in a big table, and there's more than one person asking you a question.
GB: So you get to ask, like, one question?
CP: Yeah, that just sounds weird. I'm not understanding how, as a journalist, you're gonna use somebody else's question.
GB: Like when they're from Hello! magazine, and they're saying [employs Hello! magazine-interviewer voice], "How are you a hero in your own life?"
CP: [Laughs]
GB: "And tell me, do girls like you when you play this role?" And you have some Smart Journalist like this [makes exasperated Smart-Journalist face], "There goes another three minutes of my time." [Switching to Smart-Journalist voice] "I wanna ask my Important Question. It requires Deep Thought. Heaviness."
CP: Unfortunately, I'm probably more the Hello! magazine-type questions.
GB: Oh really? OK, good.
CP: But let's talk about the movie, shall we?
GB: Who are you with?
CP: I'm with, uh, City Paper, in Baltimore.
GB: OK, yeah.
CP: [Not because I want to get even with him for asking me who I am "with," but more just wanting to make sure, because I am not sure 100 percent if Mr. Butler is from Scotland, and if it is potentially offensive to ask somebody from Wales if they are from England, or somebody from Scotland if they are from Wales, or maybe somebody from Scotland if they are from the U.K.] Where are you from?
GB: Scotland.
CP: Baltimore's a lot like Glasgow.
GB: Oh, it is?
CP: [Convoluted, overlong statement displaying my knowledge of how sometimes a movie will photograph one city, "doubling" it for another city, instead of just asking Mr. Butler where did they shoot the movie.]
GB: Funnily enough, it was Shreveport, La., which looks nothing like D.C., but we used a lot of plate shots [shots of an empty location] for D.C., because we built a White House in Shreveport, which was hilarious, so people thought, Oh, this is amazing, we're getting our own White House, and then [SPOILER REDACTED]. There were a few days when we had 115 degrees, and it was the days we were shooting the exterior action sequences, when I'm runnin' and runnin' and runnin' around, and the idea is I've been running for a mile by the time I get [to the White House], so for every take—and we probably did, over the week, 250 takes—it was so hot, we had seven shirts, and they would be cycling them through, dryin' them out, passin' 'em back on, cyclin' out cyclin' out cyclin' out. It was unbearable. There's times that you're literally, "I can't go on, I can't go on," because the other thing is then there's explosions, fires everywhere, even if it had been the middle of winter, you'd have been warm. It was intense. This whole movie was intense; you've seen it, you know. You can imagine the amount I have to kick ass in it. [Laughs] This is Baltimore-speak! If it's like Glasgow!
CP: I went to Glasgow when I was 17 with a friend of mine who had family there.
GB: Did you like it?
CP: When I wasn't getting chased, or almost getting my ass kicked—
GB: Then it's fun! When you're not gettin' your ass kicked! That's a great way to describe Glasgow, "When you're not gettin' your ass kicked, it's a good town."
CP: There's a lot I don't remember, because I was 17 years old and I managed to get served everywhere, so that was fun, plus on top of that I was an American, so I was like a thing from a zoo and everybody was trying to get me loaded.
GB: You're either gonna get punched or fucked.
CP: I went into a bar, I had a green shirt, and I had a jacket on over it, and I went into this bar with some friends, and I sat down and took the jacket off, and I had a green shirt with yellow sleeves, and it was an Orange bar—
GB: Ohh.
CP: All these hands came out and grabbed the jacket and put it back on my shoulders, but then for the rest of the night, they would reach over and pull down the jacket and show people, "See? Look at this idiot." I had no idea about any of that stuff.
GB: [Laughs] Oh, it's crazy. You say that, and it's like saying, "I walked into the favelas in Brazil with a fucking T-shirt on saying 'I hate Brazilian cunts.'"
CP: Kill me.
GB: Kill me! Exactly. Target!
[Awkward pause]
GB: I think we're gonna miss Antoine, because he's on a tight schedule.
CP: I'm probably not gonna get him. [Reacting to a Movie Person giving me the "peace" sign] Peace. Oh no, you meant "two minutes."
GB: We'll have to—we had no interview!
CP: Whaddya mean? This is an interview.
GB: Is this how we do it, yeah?
CP: It's how I do it.
GB: OK, cool.
CP: What am I gonna do, ask you, you know, I don't know, "Did you like the blue shirt that you wore in the movie?"
GB: [Laughs]
CP: We already covered your shirt, we're good.
GB: So it's, we're just sittin' chattin'?
CP: I just figured out that everybody else does interviewing better than me—
GB: Right.
CP: So I'll just talk, and you guys'll talk, and that'll be it.
GB: [Cracking up]
CP: You're in a movie.
GB: I wanna live in Baltimore. I fuckin' love that. This is like an interview in Glasgow, they'd be like "blah blah blah Celtic-Rangers, blah, two minutes, anyway, listen we're just talking, I mean, fuck it, who gives a shit, yes, you're in a movie." But did you like the movie?
CP: [Overly long answer explaining my Grand Theory of the movie with a buncha spoilers, then, noting Movie Person doing circular "wind it up" hand signal] Whoo-oo! [To Movie Person] That means wrap it up, right?
MP: Yeah.
CP: [Rising from my chair, to Mr. Butler] All right, thank you.
GB: [Laughs] What a fuckin' pleasure.
CP: [Shaking Mr. Butler's hand] God bless. You're doing the Lord's work.
GB: All the things you said?
CP: Yeah.
GB: Just make it that I said it, OK? So that I said something.
CP: I'll turn it around. [To director Antoine Fuqua, entering the room as I am exiting] Good morning.
Antoine Fuqua [possibly to me]: Morning.

Those babies look perfect! Love the bacon and jalapenos.
Any recent cheese experiments with these?I didn't see where you mentioned that here. Also would be interested in quantity of cheese that you're using. Norma (who admits that she is trying to run a profitable business) is using 6 ounces. There is probably a "too much cheese" line which can be crossed, but so far I have not encountered it!
I'd also note that my pies have finally stopped sticking to the pans - they pop right out now

Jig Now Includes Drill Bit, Stop Collar, and Stop Collar Wrench for Added Convenience!
This is an incredibly affordable doweling jig for woodworkers who want a quick joint without a lot of fussy layout. Many doweling jigs require that you make a mark on the inside edge of the joint, meaning you either have to transfer marks from the face to the edge, or measure and mark with a tape measure. Since this jig is transparent, layout is much simpler. Just set the two parts together and strike a line across the center of the joint. The see-through reference lines allows you to line up the jig perfectly. Clamp it in place, drill and you're done!
Also Available from Rockler:
- Rockler 1/4" Dowel Drilling Jig
- Rockler 1/2" Dowel Drilling Jig
- Hardened steel drill guide will endure years of abuse.
- Holes are spaced 3/4" on center.
- Convenient hanging hole
- Precise centerline for the joint, plus center lines for two dowels
- Measures 2" x 4-1/2"
- Drill guide is 3/4" thick, perfect for 3/4" face frames
- Jig is designed to center dowel holes on 3/4" thick stock.
- Jig includes Drill Bit, Stop Collar, and Stop Collar Wrench

JACKSONVILLE — With the game against Collinsville on the line, senior Jimmy Brock put the game on his shoulders — and led the Ragland Purple Devils to victory.
Brock scored seven points in the fourth quarter, and four additional points in overtime to help lift the Purple Devils over Collinsville 54-49 in the opening round of the Northeast Regional, played at Pete Mathews Coliseum on the campus of Jacksonville State University.
They will play Skyline Friday at 2:15 p.m. for the chance to move on to the AHSAA Final Four.
Ragland 54, Collinsville 49
It was a game played between two top-10 teams — Collinsville entered ranked No. 3 with a 27-3 record, and the Purple Devils came in ranked No. 6 with a 25-6 record.
It lived up to its billing.
Ragland enjoyed an 8-2 lead with 3:04 remaining in the first quarter, but the Panthers ended the quarter on a 10-0 run to take a 12-8 lead.
Collinsville doubled up Ragland in the second quarter 14-7 to take a 26-15 halftime lead.
The Purple Devils fought back in the third quarter, cutting into the Collinsville lead with a 7-0 run that made it 28-24. With 19 seconds remaining in the third quarter, it was 32-31 after a basket by Jacob Brewster. With just one second remaining, Collinsville's David Hernandez threw up an awkward shot and the three-pointer went in to make it 35-31 headed into the fourth quarter.
After scoring 16 points in the third quarter, Ragland added 16 more in the fourth quarter. They held Collinsville to 12 points and forced overtime as the score was knotted at 47-47.
Brock scored four of his team's seven points in overtime and held Collinsville to two points to win the game.
Brock scored 15 points while teammate KiJana Lindsay also netted 15 points. Lindsay also grabbed 11 rebounds. Close behind was Cody Jones with 13 points. Combined, the three players were 14-of-38 from the field shooting, and 13-of-22 from the free throw line.
Devane Brewster chipped in five points while Jacob Brewster added four points. Dakota Gardner finished the game with two points.
Ragland coach Andy Eden said it was just a very good high school basketball game.
"We did not shoot the ball well at all in the first half," Eden said. "We hung in there in the second half.
"We didn't quit, and didn't give up. We made the plays down the stretch. We are pleased to still be playing."
Ragland 75, Valley Head 57
The Purple Devils advanced to JSU with a 75-57 victory over Valley Head in sub-regional action.
The key to the victory was the fast start by Ragland as they jumped out to a 15-0 lead halfway through the first quarter.
Lindsay opened the game with a trey, and he closed the opening quarter with a trey to make it 26-9 after the first quarter.
