Discovery of the first neurotransmitter
Otto Loewi- frog hearts- discovered acetylcholine released from one heart could slow the other heart
Transports materials and conducts impulse to nerve terminal where transmitter is released
structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell (neural or otherwise).
Action Potential
Dendrites receive incoming signals that produce postsynaptic potentials (ISPs, ESPs)
Potentials build up to a threshold to produce an action potential
Impulse travels down the axon to the nerve terminal to produce neurotransmitter releases

Contributing Writer
Team unity and taking care of the ball were two areas of emphasis for the Talawanda High School boys basketball team since the last season ended eight months ago.
Coach Bobby Lipps said he is confident both areas have been addressed and looks forward to the opening of the 2012-13 season tonight at Lakota West.
"I'm real excited. I think the guys we have are a lot more experienced and will create a lot more opportunities for us," Lipps said.
The second-year Talawanda coach said his team did well in a preseason scrimmage last weekend and showed him a lot of teamwork, which has been a focus of this offseason.
"We have a lot to work on, but I'm excited," he said, adding, "The conference is wide-open."
Talawanda will be on the road again next Friday to open their Southwest Ohio Conference season at Mount Healthy. The Braves' home opener will be the following Saturday when they host Eaton in their first game at the new gym.
"The story for us is whether we can take care of the ball under pressure. That was a problem last year. I see every day they are doing better," Lipps said. "(Tonight) they will see a lot of pressure from No. 5 (team) in the city. We'll see how they react."
Lipps faced a tough challenge last year in taking the post.
"Being new last year, I knew there would be issues. They had three coaches in three years," he said, explaining that there were issues of trust because of the coaching turnover. "I told them 'I'm not going anywhere.' "
Lipps said his goal for the past offseason was to build teamwork among his players and did that with a three-day team camp at Marietta College over the summer.
"Team camp builds bonds and develops teamwork and relationships. Last year, I felt there was not as much as I would have liked. It was basketball sunup to sundown. Some guys had never done that before. It's been great for us," the coach said. "We averaged 19-20 turnovers a game last year. I hope we can cut that down to 12-13, that's the equivalent of five more wins."
Lipps said his team has the talent to name more than five starters who will all see starts and plenty of action.
"I feel there are seven starters. We are deep enough and talented enough," he said. "It's a lot different than last year coming in."
Senior guard Tripp Webb was the team's leading 3-point and free throw shooter last year.
"Tripp will run the point a lot. He needs to handle the ball more. The summer was important for his ball-handling skills," Lipps said. "The seniors put in time over the summer and have gotten better."
Fellow senior guard Nolan Robinson is a great leader, the coach said. Senior forward Howie Smith and sophomore center Eric Mincy give the team good spirit, he said.
Junior guard Warwick Rieder is expected to play the point guard position and has no varsity experience, but Lipps said he had a solid season a year ago and expects him to make the transition to varsity play this year.
Senior forward Colton Adams is another of Lipps' starter options with the coach adding, "If he puts his mind to it, he could dominate the league for his size."
Another of the coach's solid starter options is senior guard Austin Davidson.
"We are deep enough and talented enough," he said. "It's a lot different than last year."
Most of the league opponents will be familiar to the Braves from last year's West Division of the Fort Ancient Valley Conference. With that league folding after the 2011-12 school year, six of the teams formed the SWOC and added Wilmington and Little Miami.
"Wilmington will be good. Ross is returning a lot. Northwest returns quite a bit. We can compete with those teams," he said. "I feel like a team could lose two or three games and still win the league. It will be really competitive and a lot of fun."
Something else new for the Braves this year is the new facility in a new school. Lipps said the auxiliary gym gives them space to get more done, and allow the freshman team to practice at the same time. He hopes the combination of a new gym and rejuvenated team will bring out the fans.
"With the new gym opening against Eaton, I hope we have a packed house and perform well and I hope it will stay packed," he said.
Lipps said he is excited for the entire Talawanda program.
"The JV team is loaded with juniors and a load of juniors are getting experience. It's a good core in the JV team and the freshman team is good, too. I'm exciting about the whole program," he said, adding that the middle school teams have talent for the future, as well. "I think we are on the right track."

Topic Last Modified: 2013-03-06
Retrieves one or more network sites defined for call admission control (CAC) or Enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1). This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2010.
Get-CsNetworkSite [-Identity <XdsGlobalRelativeIdentity>] <COMMON PARAMETERS>
Get-CsNetworkSite [-Filter <String>] <COMMON PARAMETERS>
COMMON PARAMETERS: [-LocalStore <SwitchParameter>]
Calling the Get-CsNetworkSite cmdlet with no parameters will return all network sites configured for CAC or E9-1-1 within the Lync Server deployment.
This command retrieves the site with the Identity (and, by definition, the NetworkSiteID) Redmond.
Get-CsNetworkSite -Identity Redmond
The command in Example 3 calls the Get-CsNetworkSite cmdlet with the Filter parameter. The value of the Filter parameter is NA*, meaning that this command will retrieve all sites with an Identity beginning with the string NA and followed by any number of characters. This will return sites such as NARedmond, NAVancouver, and NAChicago.
Get-CsNetworkSite -Filter NA*
Example 4 uses two cmdlets, the Get-CsNetworkSite cmdlet and the Where-Object cmdlet, to retrieve all the sites that are part of the NorthAmerica region. The command begins by calling the Get-CsNetworkSite cmdlet with no parameters to retrieve all network sites. This collection of sites is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which filters the collection, looking for all sites in the collection where the NetworkRegionID property is equal to (-eq) NorthAmerica.
Get-CsNetworkSite | Where-Object {$_.NetworkRegionID -eq "NorthAmerica"}
Network sites are the offices or locations configured within each region of a CAC or E9-1-1 deployment. This cmdlet retrieves the settings for one or more existing sites.
Who can run this cmdlet: By default, members of the following groups are authorized to run the Get-CsNetworkSite cmdlet locally: RTCUniversalUserAdmins, RTCUniversalServerAdmins. To return a list of all the role-based access control (RBAC) roles this cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created yourself), run the following command from the Windows PowerShell prompt:
Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets –match "Get-CsNetworkSite"}
Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
Filter | Optional | System.String | A wildcard string that allows you to retrieve multiple sites based on matching the site Identity to the Filter value. |
Identity | Optional | Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Xds.XdsGlobalRelativeIdentity | The unique identifier of the network site you want to retrieve. Sites are created only at the global scope, so you do not need to specify a scope. Instead, you need to specify only the site ID. (Note that this is the same value as the NetworkSiteID for the network site.) |
LocalStore | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Retrieves the network site information from the local replica of the Central Management store, rather than the Central Management store itself. |
Retrieves an object of type Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.NetworkConfiguration.DisplayNetworkSiteType.

Posted By Jason Verge On April 10, 2013 @ 12:17 pm In Europe,Google | No Comments
Google continues to make big infrastructure investments, in this case in a key facility powering European services. The company is investing 300 million Euros ($390 million in U.S. dollars) to expand its data center in Belgium. Its the latest in a series of expansion announcements for Google, which sees its data centers as the technology engine powering its online search and advertising platform.
In January, we noted the company had poured $1 billion U.S.D. [1] into its data centers in a period of three months. That investment comes after other major funding went to multiple data centers such as an additional $600 million in North Carolina, bringing Google's total investment there to over $1.2 billion. Last year, the company's investment in Iowa [2] passed the $1 billion mark. The year before, there was a $600 million expansion in Oklahoma [3]. Google also recently unveiled its first data center project in South America, which will be located in Quilicura, Chile [4].
The Belgian facility in in St. Ghislain, southwest of Brussels, is the underpinning of Google's services such as search, gmail, and Youtube in Europe. The center currently has approximately 120 employees and the facility is touted as a highly energy efficient. Google also operates data centers catering to the European market in Ireland and Finland. The Hamina data center in Finland received $184 million in investment last year.
The climate in Belgium supports free cooling almost year-round, and the facility is chiller-less. The facility is "water self-sufficient," as it is draws water from a nearby industrial canal and has built a 20,000-square-foot water treatment plant [5] to prepare the canal water for use in the data center. This is among the reasons why the facility is a top performer when it comes to energy efficiency, hitting a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.11 over a 12-month average in 2011. For more details on how Google runs without chillers, see Google's Chiller-Less Data Center [6] for our coverage of engineering prowess behind the concept.
Google also allows the ambient temperature in data halls to rise in its Belgium facility, with humans working there staying within climate-controlled sections of the building for the most part. For the majority of the year, it's cool enough to where this design works with no problems, but when it heats up in Belgium, the company participates in "excursion hours." Indoor temperatures can rise above 95 degrees, and the humans leave the server area [7]. This rarely occurs, and the machines work just fine – only it's uncomfortable for humans.

Home › Forums › General Discussion › show me a god sucks
This topic contains 110 replies, has 73 voices, and was last updated by ALnino 4 years, 2 months ago.
is it just me? or is this song like one of the worst songs tech has ever made lol.. and another thing? why does tech make such poor decisions when it comes to choosing songs for videos?!?! why no caribou lou video?!?! COME ON USE UR BRAIN.. in the trunk or demons would be awesome instead he chooses leave me alone and show me a god.. WACK
1. I personally think Show Me A God is one of the best songs on the album. 2. Caribou Lou was not chosen as a single because of the heavy alcohol influence of the song. (I read that in an interview somewhere a while ago) 3. Show Me A God was more of a music video for him to get his feelings about his Mom out.
Its just you.
Brent Bertrand said:
It was for his mom and it was personal and he wanted to share it. Who the fuck are you to say what he should do? And you just called Tech stupid on his own web site. Kick rocks douche bag.
I personally didn't like Caribou Lou, the song.
your a douche bag if you dont like that song the only song on the cd that is questionable is pinnochio
personally, i fuckin' hate the song caribou lou… preppy bitch ass snobs listen to that shit and say that's his best song and they don't know shit about tech and how sick he is. idk but i just hate that song for attracting stupid people like that.
I usually dont talk shit on people on the internet but I just instantly hated this motherfucker when I read his post and seen his bitch ass face. This dude is very deserving of a curb stomp.
Yep, just you!
I would like to see a video for In the Trunk and I dont especially like the chorus of show me a god but luv the rest of the song…personally I think Leave me Alone was a great choice for a music video cuz it allows Tech to be on MTVU and u kno MTV would not allow Demons or In the Trunk on tv because of the lyrics…so yeah it is just u and u suck again
Just you and your underdeveloped intellect.
he macheted that beat to shreds,ppl get caught up in the title and automatically expect the production to be melodic and hypnotizing,so i must say i respectfully disagree with your thread and you are FUCKIN TRIPPING!!!
LTB said:
i luv show me a god, shits real shit!!…i also prbly thnk other songs would be better videos or singles, but leave me alone, has wayyyyy better chance of getting spins on tv, and radio rather then blacken the sun, which i would choose….its stratay, they no how 2 run theres bizzness, id say!! i luv both songs tho, and leave me alone ws a great vid, his best was red nose tho!

On Vaclav Havel — and Chris Hitchens

Vaclav Havel is dead. Among other forces and powers, he is among the seven individuals most responsible for peacefully ending the Cold War; the great liberators who brought freedom and democracy. They are Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, Margaret Thatcher, Lech Walesa, and Havel.
With Havel's death, a majority of these seven are now gone, giving new voice and added meaning to what Chesterton deemed the democracy of the dead.
All waged battle against what Reagan inspiringly called the "Evil Empire," a brute creation cobbled out of a diabolical ideology that generated the deaths of over 100 million in the last century. At the core of that evil was what Mikhail Gorbachev characterized as a "war on religion," which, among other forms of malevolence, spawned what Vaclav Havel described as "the communist culture of the lie." As they engaged the beast, John Paul II admonished all to "Be not afraid."
Vaclav Havel was unafraid. He and his Charter 77 movement were courageous, willing to go to jail rather than take orders from the devils who installed themselves as dictators from Budapest to Bucharest, from Warsaw to Prague.
As if all of this, unfolding here on earth a short time ago, was not profound enough, I'm suddenly struck at the profundity of Havel passing into the next world alongside Christopher Hitchens, and both shortly before Christmas.
Peter Robinson, who knows about the collapse of communism, having written Ronald Reagan's Brandenburg Gate speech, interviewed Hitchens for his PBS show "Uncommon Knowledge." Robinson was troubled by Hitchens' willingness to concede credit to Havel for the collapse but none to Reagan. He took on Hitchens at that moment, not letting him get away with the slight against Reagan. I wish Vaclav Havel himself would have been there to set Hitchens straight. Havel said of Reagan, ironically at Reagan's death: "He was a man with firm positions, with which he undoubtedly contributed to the fall of communism."
Havel had a lot to teach to Hitchens. Hitchens would have listened to Havel.
Indeed, of all people on this planet who God might have chosen to counsel a stunned Hitchens as he sits outside the Pearly Gates shaken in awed confusion, Havel would have been perfect, the one intellectual to merit Hitchens' intellect and respect. If Hitchens' un-merry band of atheists will forgive me, the religious romantic in me can't help but indulge an image of Hitchens sitting there, hunched over, head in hands, only to look up at a smiling Havel and saying, "Fancy that I'd see you here. You just getting here?"
Vaclav Havel was not just a man of politics and intellect, but a man of the arts, theater, literature--and, yes, of God. He exhorted the West and the wider post-modern world to seek "transcendence." Hitchens might have figured God "the ultimate totalitarian," but Havel saw God as the solution to totalitarianism, as tyranny's antidote, as the fountainhead of freedom. This was something Havel deeply admired about America and its roots--its fusion of faith and freedom and the recognition that the latter cannot genuinely exist without the former. "The Declaration of Independence states that the Creator gave man the right to liberty," Havel concluded in his July 4, 1994 lecture at Philadelphia's Independence Hall, home of that very sentiment. "It seems man can realize that liberty only if he does not forget the One who endowed him with it."
Vaclav Havel never forgot that principle nor its Endower. Neither did any of the Cold War seven that laid waste to the Soviet beast. And it was with the power of that conviction that they tapped the ultimate force that resolved the Cold War and won the victory for freedom and good against oppression and evil.
Vaclav Havel now joins the Heavenly majority. May he rest in peace, at last reaching true transcendence.

Yeah well... I don't think Hitchens is going to get anywhere near the Pearly Gates.... The gates of hell, perhaps.

What is Rotary? Rotary International is an association of over 34,000 clubs located in over 200 countries and territories consisting of 1.2 million business and professional leaders united worldwide to carry out humanitarian and educational projects, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and promote world understanding and peace. Rotary brings together leaders who step forward to take on some of the toughest challenges in their communities.
Carlisle Rotary Club's Vision Statement for the 21st Century: A world class Rotary Club, mindful of public image, that recruits and retains quality members and leaders, that meets in the most congenial setting possible and is active across the five lanes of Rotary service, with emphasis on support of community, international, youth, and vocational programs and projects, and whose every member contributes to the Rotary Foundation, meets attendance criteria and is actively involved in Rotary service and fun and fellowship events. "Service above Self"
Carlisle Rotary Club's Mission: The Carlisle Rotary Club provides opportunities for service in the community and the world through a forum that fosters fellowship and fun.
How Rotary International Began: February 23, 1905. The airplane had yet to stay aloft more than a few minutes. The first motion picture theater had not yet opened. Norway and Sweden were peacefully terminating their union. On this particular day, a Chicago lawyer, Paul P. Harris, called three friends to a meeting. What he had in mind was a club that would kindle fellowship among members of the business community. It was an idea that grew from his desire to find within the large city the kind of friendly spirit that he knew in the villages where he had grown up. The four businessmen didn't decide then and there to call themselves a Rotary club, but their get-together was, in fact, the first meeting of the world's first Rotary club. As they continued to meet, adding others to the group, they rotated their meetings among the members' places of business, hence the name. Soon after the club name was agreed upon, one of the new members suggested a wagon wheel design as the club emblem. It was the precursor of the familiar cogwheel emblem now worn by Rotarians around the world. By the end of 1905, the club had 30 members. The second Rotary club was formed in 1908 half a continent away from Chicago in San Francisco, California. It was a much shorter leap across San Francisco Bay to Oakland, California, where the third club was formed. Others followed in Seattle, Washington, Los Angeles, California, and New York City, New York. Rotary became international in 1910 when a club was formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. By 1921 the organization was represented on every continent, and the name Rotary International was adopted in 1922. The Rotary Club of Carlisle was chartered on May 1, 1921.

Robin our National Bird
For nearly fifty years the Robin, otherwise known as Robin Redbreast , has been our National bird in Great Britain. In 1961 the British section for the International council of birds was tasked to select a title bearer and they chose the Robin. I think it was a good choice, great territory defenders that are in Britain brave window sill feeders and followers of the garden digger, in stark contrast they are very shy in Europe, not without good reason….they are often appreciated most with Orange sauce, that would be unthinkable to a native of the UK! A previous painting I did of the Robin in abstract sold very quickly and gets good remarks still, so a second smaller painting has been done. 10 x 10 x1.5 inch Acrylic on canvas Available: £150.oo

Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees 04/22/2014, at Fenway Park ... Find Tickets
DeMarlo Hale: The former bench coach for Terry Francona will interview for the Red Sox opening according to a report from WEEI.com. Hale, the third base coach of the Baltimore Orioles (right), did not interview for the Sox managerial opening after Francona left last October, but enough time may have passed after the 2011 collapse where the Red Sox are ready to give him a look. Hale has coached with the Rangers, Red Sox, and Orioles and in nine seasons of minor league managing from 1993 to 2001, he compiled a 634-614 record.

This week I came across an article that one of my Christian education professor posted to my Missions and Evangelism professor's Facebook wall. It amazes me to write that this is how I came across the article, because the article itself is about how the church has changed, and how the younger, technologically savvy, generation is rejecting the evangelical church for more traditional theology. ("Young Evangelicals are Getting High" can be found on The Christian Pundit.)
Evangelicals have been writing for years about how the church is losing the younger generation to the world. Churches have therefore been striving to become more "relevant," in order to keep these young people in the pews. But a new trend is emerging. Instead of rejecting the faith outright, many youths are turning to the high theology of the Catholic, Angelical, and Lutheran traditions.
"The kids who leave evangelical Protestantism are looking for something the world can't give them. The world can give them hotter jeans, better coffee, bands, speakers, and book clubs than a congregation can. What it can't give them is theology… What the kids leaving generic evangelicalism seem to want is something the world can never give them–a holy Father who demands reverence, a Savior who requires careful worship, and a Spirit who must be obeyed. They are looking for true, deep, intellectually robust spirituality in their parents' churches and not finding it."
I find this extremely interesting, and I wholeheartedly agree. The church is missing something. That something is a sound theology of God, the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and holiness in Christian living. It is missing intellectual integrity, as existential thought swept through and mutated the church into a place of ecstatic emotionalism. Church today is more about how I feel that who God is and how he is worthy of our worship. Holiness is lost also as we wrestle with our experience of sin in the world. But what do you expect when you take away the theology of a holy God and replace it with a genie in a bottle who exists to grant me my every wish and fancy? Church is no longer about meeting God but about God meeting my needs. Prosperity theology has been the greatest perversion of theology to date.
"Perhaps if Protestant churches began acting more like dutiful mothers instead of fun babysitters, there would be fewer youth leaving their ecclesiastical homes as soon as they are out of the house."

Turkey Breast in a Crock Pot? Am I crazy or desparate?
I'm reponsible for cooking 2 skin on/ deboned 3lb Turkey breasts for a gathering of Brooklyn friends tomorrow. I'm going to roast one in the oven tomorrow, but I'm considering putting the other one in a crock post and very slowly cooking it at low temp for a few hours over night. Has anyone does this before and if so, is it is a terrible idea? Would love suggestions or to talk me out of it.
Thank so much,

An essential, often overlooked ingredient in any proper Cold War spy thriller is the presence of frequent and well-chosen code names, along with innocuous phrases loaded with hidden meaning for the agents of espionage playing out the film's story. The first clip from the upcoming John Le Carre adaptation Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is absolutely loaded with such code words, as John Hurt, who plays a Circus (a sly title for the MI6 intelligence service) director codenamed Control, lays out a list of potentially traitorous moles within the organization to Mark Strong as Jim Prideaux, who conspicuously lacks a codename. That's okay, though, because the suspects are known as Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, and Poor Man, along with also un-monikered George Smiley, the principal character played by the great Gary Oldman, who is also seen briefly in the clip.
If you live in America and are excited for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, the John Le Carre adaptation that is overflowing with phenomenal British actors, then you may have noticed that the film hits cinemas in the United Kingdom very soon, on September 16th. Here in the Colonies, however, the film's release date has long been scheduled for a full two months later, hitting American theaters on November 18th. Well, your wait to take in some Cold War era espionage and top-notch thespianism just got a little longer, as Deadline reports that Focus Features will now release Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Stateside three weeks later, on December 9th.
There's definitely a place for spy films involving thrilling car chases, over-the-top stunts, and conveniently effective rubber masks. An altogether rarer beast is the intelligent, grown up espionage film examining the elaborate games and psychological somersaults required of those in the spying business. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, adapted from the novel by John le Carre, looks to be just such a film. As a new UK teaser makes clear, Gary Oldman plays a semi-retired MI6 secret agent tasked with rooting out a mole at the height of Cold War paranoia. It's a damn fine trailer, though it does make the odd choise of having voiceover pronouncing text that's onscreen.
Since production on The Dark Knight Rises posted up in Pittsburgh at the end of July, we've been privy to a consistent, spoilery supply of set photos and videos showing Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, and the rest of the gang engaged in all manner of bat-adventures on the faux-snowy streets of the city, standing in for the thoroughly fictitious Gotham. Those days are now officially over, though, folks. The final installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy has wrapped up the Pittsburgh portion of principal photography, as announced by a full page newspaper ad thanking the citizens of Pittsburgh. Presumably, this was a thank you for taking endless spoilery photographs and cell phone videos.
Banewatch '11! Cue dramatic newsbreak music. Here's the breakdown so far of our visual familiarity with Tom Hardy as the villainous Bane in Christopher Nolan's mildly-anticipated The Dark Knight Rises: First was an official image from Warner Bros, followed by some very brief glimpses in the film's first teaser trailer, then daylight set photos of Hardy in the full costume between takes, and finally some more images from the set of a tussle with Christian Bale's Batman. Well, today sees another crucial addition to Banewatch, with three fairly spoilerfied new close-up pictures of Hardy in costume, including that rather mysterious headgear, which we suspect has nothing to do with modern orthodontia.
The Dark Knight Rises has been shooting since May, and months were spent with fascinated, locked-out fans wringing our hands and pacing ceaselessly, pondering the possibilities of Christopher Nolan's final entry in his acclaimed, gravelly-voiced bat-trilogy. Since the production relocated to Pittsburgh, however, we're been pigs in figurative shit, rolling around delightedly in our own filth as new set photos and videos roll in day after day, revealing new surprises and spoilers aplenty.
Today, two new crops of SPOILER-y set-photos focus on the vehicular component of the bat-finale, showing some more of Anne Hathaway's stunt double in action as Catwoman astride the batpod, while another even more SPOILER-style group could very well reveal a new addition to Bruce Wayne's already formidable urban warfare arsenal.
Attention, anyone and everyone complaining about the costume sported by Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises: this is the closest you will ever get to having a conversation with Anne Hathaway. Last week, Warner Bros officially unveiled the first image of Hathaway suited up as Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's final Bat-movie, which is currently filming in Pittsburgh. Having apparently forgotten this travesty, many a fan promptly voiced either their complaints or lack of enthusiasm for the sight of Hathaway in skin-tight leather riding a giant phallus-substitute. Well, Hathaway herself has now responded to those who were underwhelmed.
That Gary Oldman has never even been nominated for an Oscar boggles the mind. We're talking about the prolific master of accents who has played Lee Harvey Oswald, Drexl Spivey, Jean-Baptise Emanuel Zorg, Rosencrantz, Ludwig van Beethoven, and even Sirius Black and Commissioner Gordon. For the first time in his long and varied career, though, Mr. Oldman is stirring up awards-y talk for his lead performance in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, an adaptation of the novel by espionage-master John le Carre. A new UK trailer for the Cold War-era thriller introcudes Oldman as George Smiley, a more-or-less retired spy tasked with rooting out a Soviet mole in MI6, the British intelligence agency. Like its predecessor, it's a hell of a trailer, promising a classy, gripping film with a faultless ensemble at work.
In the upcoming sports drama Warrior, British upstart Tom Hardy and Australian up-and-comer Joel Edgerton play estranged brothers, both involved in Mixed Martial Arts for very different reasons but both headed for an inevitable showdown in a no-holds barred throwdown. The theatrical one-sheet for Warrior features the two leads shirtless and showing off abs that, if combined, would form a twelve-pack. Today, and only for a few more hours, you have the opportunity to bid on the poster signed by both Hardy and Edgerton. If you win the autographed poster, you not only get a thoroughly manly one-sheet, but you'll also be supporting a wholly worthwhile charity. So act fast!
British actor Tom Hardy has come an awful long way and gained an awful lot of muscle mass since playing the skinny Shinzon, the equally bald and thoroughly villainous clone of Captain Picard in 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis. Since earning no end of praise as the title character Nicolas Winding Refn's Bronson, Hardy has lined up an impressive assemblage of noteworthy upcoming roles, including taking over for Mel Gibson as the eponymous postapocalyptic badass in George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road. Right now, though, he's in Pittsburgh filming The Dark Knight Rises with his Inception director Christopher Nolan. The forthright actor recently talked about playing the musclebound baddie Bane and may very well have spilled some spoilerific beans about the story.

Team Century's Ozzie Fischer is one of the most well-known and well-respected professional anglers and charter guides along Florida's West Coast, and now a second Fischer, son Christian, is making a name of his own by winning the Southern Kingfish Association's (SKA) National Junior Angler of the Year award.
Ozzie and Christian, fishing as team Wolcott Marine, competed in the SKA's Division 11, featuring three tournaments in the Southwest Florida Region. During the series' first tournament, Christian Fischer landed a 37.93 lb. king, earning the angler top Junior honors. During the second tournament, the angler landed a 26.60 lb. king, and the during the final tournament, Fischer landed a 56.27 lb. king, again earning top Junior honors, and helping his team to a victory.
"I am extremely proud of Christian," says father, Ozzie. "Going tournament kingfishing is not easy, as you are constantly dealing with the elements of weather, rough water and 100-mile runs. Christian never complains, and enjoys each and every aspect of the experience," says Fischer.
"Christian is always challenging me to be a better angler - that's what 11-year-olds do to their fathers. He has taught me how to enjoy and appreciate the little things. While I may view catching bait as a chore, he views this as a chance to catch more fish," says Fischer.
Ozzie Fischer has been fishing tournaments in and around the Ft. Myers/Naples area for more than 15 years, and has become a household name from his many tournament victories and television show appearances. Ozzie averages more than 400 charters annually, and has more than 50 top-five tournament finishes since 2001.

Recipe by soupysales
"I originally called this my 'experimental lentil' soup, patching together various other lentil soup recipes. I've been making it every fall for a decade now. What's listed here is a single recipe, though I can't remember the last time I've made such a small batch. It's great for freezing in individual servings for lunches."
Watch video tips and tricks
8 cups water
2 2/3 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1 ham bone with some meat
2 cups lentils
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup chopped carrots
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon crushed bay leaf
This is better than any other lentil recipe I've tried. I love the addition of the green bell pepper, and added some red in, too. I let it simmer all day and there was just a ton of flavor. Thanks for posting it!

text: Possum Arrow Attack Wed 11 July 2012 Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment The Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE) is calling for public assistance after the discovery of a brush tailed possum that had been shot with an arrow at Margate. Members of the public discovered the possum and reported it to DPIPWE on Friday 6th July 2012. Wildlife officers were able to retrieve the possum, with the arrow still attached, from a tree hollow and take to it a veterinary clinic for treatment. DPIPWE Resource Management and Conservation General Manager Alistair Scott said wildlife officers are investigating the incident. "Unfortunately the possum and its joey did not survive the attack and our Department is concerned at what appears to be a random act of cruelty." "We are appealing for members of the public who may have any information related to the incident to come forward as this is the second incident of its type at the same location". "Several years ago the public were able to provide vital information regarding a similar attack. From the information provided the offender was later identified, interviewed and prosecuted and we are hoping the public may be able to assist again. Mr Scott said penalties in place for such an attack under the Wildlife (General) Regulations 2010 carry a maximum penalty of $13,000. Mr Scott said the person could also face charges under the Animal Welfare Act 1993 which carries a maximum penalty of $13,000 or a term of imprisonment not exceeding 12 months or both. Mr Scott said Wildlife Officers would also be liaising with Tasmania Police over the matter. Anyone with information can contact DPIPWE Ranger (Wildlife Operations) Glenn Atkinson on 0418 127 187

New lanes of U.S. Highway 380, State Highway 289 overpass to open in mid-February
289 is being widened for four miles north of 380.
The overpass at U.S. Highway 380 and State Highway 289 is being replaced.
Construction of the two new lanes of the bridge is nearly complete. The Texas Department of Transportation hopes to open the two new lanes in mid-February. The old bridge will then be demolished so two more lanes can be constructed.
Eventually the Texas Department of Transportation bridge project will be six lanes to go along with the widening of State Highway 289.
TxDOT funding for the bridge project is about $13.3 million.
Two more TxDOT projects will soon be under way to widen State Highway 289 from U.S. Highway 380 to Farm-to-Market Road 455 to six lanes. Construction will start in March or April on those projects.
Widening State Highway 289 from the U.S. Highway 380 exchange to North of Farm-to-Market Road 1461 will cost about $23.1 million. Moving utility lines has already started on this project.
About $24.6 million has been allocated for the widening of State Highway 289 from Farm-to-Market Road 1461 to Farm-to-Market Road 455, a little more than four miles.
TxDOT Area Engineer Barry Heard said that both State Highway 289 widening projects will take about two years. The road will be under construction through most of 2014.
Mario Sinacola and Sons Excavating, Inc. is the construction company for all three projects.
