PackersHome name: HoustonMatt
Real name (first only): Matt
Age: 27
Current City: Houston
Hometown: Humble (just NE of Houston)
Occupation: Marketing
1) How did you choose your screen name?
Lack of creativity and understanding that using your real name on a website may not be the best idea. I'll probably get around to changing it one day, but I don't really want to register a new account.
2) Could you tell us a little about where you grew up and about your family?
Grew up in your typical suburban neighborhood just outside of Houston. Dad's a vet. Mom's a teacher. One older sister. Painfully normal or everything you could ask for depending on how you look at it. Although my sister now lives in Dallas, I'm still a 30 minute drive from the folks. Given that our extended family all resides up north, we stay pretty close.
3) Did you play in any sports or where you involved with any High School clubs and such?
I peaked athletically in junior high. In high school I ran track for a couple years, but avoided any extracurricular clubs like the plague.
4) What is your fondest memory of your teenage years?
I don't know that I could pinpoint just one, but I suppose getting your license and a car on your 16th birthday is about as good as any.
5) What was your first job?
First job was as a busboy at Red Lobster. After three months I became a host. First job out of college was working for an IT recruiting firm. Worked that for awhile, didn't like it, so I moved into the marketing position I'm in now. I do a lot of web advertising and PR for a national law firm.
6) What lead to your dedicated following of the Packers?
I've always thought that there's really only two legitimate reasons to like a team.
1) Geographical - you root for the team in which town you were raised or currently live.
2) Hereditary - You root for whichever team your dad liked.
I'm the latter. While I was born in Houston, my dad grew up in North Dakota, and his dad in Wisconsin. The Packer tradition is passed on through the generations.
7) Could you tell us one of your favorite memories of the Packers?
As much as I loved the Superbowl win, I actually might say that the Monday Nighter after Brett's dad died was my favorite memory. The Superbowl was great because my team won, but the Monday Nighter showed me that this was more than just a team to root for. I was emotionally vested in that game and specifically in Brett. The feelings I had that night went beyond typical fandom. For better or worse, that night proved to me that the Packers are more than just an NFL team. They're (including Packer Nation) an extended family.
8 ) How did you find the PackersHome and what keeps you active on the site?
Followed you guys over from the original board. Can't say for sure how I found the original board as that must have been over three years ago. Google would be my guess.
9) What other sports teams do you follow?
MLB - Twins (Braves in the NL)
NBA - Lakers
NCAA - Texas A&M
10) When youre not on PackersHome what could you likely be found doing with your spare time?
Reading. Watching sports. Going out with friends. Perusing the internet.
11) If you could have one moment being part of the Packer organization, what would it be?
Draft room. That should be high paced and extremely interesting.
12) How many trips have you made to Lambeau?
None, but I plan to. I've seen the Packers once in Houston and once in Dallas though.
13) What is your worst fear?
Prison. I watch MSNBC Lockup fairly often and can't imagine the thought of spending any significant amount of my life behind bars. If I ever did something that landed me a prison sentence of 3+ years, I'd seriously consider fleeing the country or offing myself. Sorry for the downer, but it's true.
14) What type of hobbies do you enjoy?
Sports and reading.
15) Whats your favorite food?
If anyone answers this questions with a word other than 'pizza', they're simply not telling the truth. Everyone loves pizza.
16) Where are some of the places youve been, and where are some of your favorites.
I've been to 44 of 50 states, Mexico, Canada, Italy, France, and England. Italy was fantastic, though I was probably a bit too young (14) to fully appreciate it. Domestically, you can't beat NYC, with Chicago being a close 2nd. If I wasn't such a southern boy (ie. I hate cold weather), I'd move to Manahattan tomorrow.
17) What is one thing you've always wanted to do, but haven't done yet in your lifetime?
Go to Lambeau. Write a book.
18) If you could live anywhere where would it be?
Again, NYC if I could control the weather. Otherwise, I'm fine here in Houston.
19) Name your favorite 5 Packers all time and explain the reason for one of them.
Brett Favre
Reggie White
Gilbert Brown
Greg Jennings
Donald Driver - Houston kid and his mom and sisters come to Nick's Place most every Sunday during football season. Nick's is a bar on the westside of Houston where about 200 Packer fans meet to watch the games.
20) Up to this date, what is one of your favorite Packer memories?
The Monday Nighter, reason explained above.
21) PM and post the next person to be interviewed.
I don't really care. If you're interested, fill out the questionnaire. If forced to choose, Nonstopdrivel, because we seem to agree on most football related issues and he's a guy of a statistical and well reasoned nature.

Oh man. I wish I had known you when I lived in Houston. Never heard of Nick's place. If I go back there any time soon, I'll show up there for a game. That's awesome.

My worst fear is prison too. I could not possibly bear up under the loss of freedom. I found the confinement of military bases in Iraq suffocating enough. If I ever were sentenced to prison, there's no way around it. I would kill myself.

It's good to read an interview with one of the voices of reason on this site.
Houston is in a lot of the ways the opposite of where I'm from (northern Michigan). It's neat how the Packers bring people together from all over the place. I don't know how you can watch MSNBC Lockup, though. Those shows creep me out! I would not be a happy camper in prison.

I used to enjoy watching
on DVD in Iraq because some of the writing was philosophical. But I agree, I can't take much of it -- it messes with my deepest fears.

Petersburg. It's about 40 miles west of Grand Forks. Mom grew up there too. The town has dwindled to probably about 100-150 people at this point, most of which are widows.

Lawmakers to look at legal aid for poor defendants
Michigan's public defender system is consistently rated one of the worst in the country.
But this week, the House Judiciary Committee will consider creating a commission to establish standards for indigent defense.
Marcela Westrate is with the Michigan Campaign for Justice.
She says there are a host of reasons why poor criminal defendants don't always receive good legal help in this state.
"We don't have any statewide training requirements right now," said Westrate. "There's also things like consistency, where the same attorney represents a client until the completion of a case."
The commission would set the standards for Michigan's 83 counties - which each have their own public defender systems. Westrate says she hopes the commission could have new standards in place by the end of next year.

All of the recipes featured can be made at home for about $30 or less.Thick, creamy, and rich Greek yogurt has cooks everywhere lining up and dipping in. With a consistency best described as a hybrid between yogurt and cheese, Greek yogurt is earning serious street cred as a healthy alternative to sour cream and crème fraîche. The Greeks got it right, so to speak, straining the yogurt in a cloth or filter to remove the whey, which gives it a thicker and richer texture. Opa!
Moving beyond breakfast and tzatziki dip, we put the Culinary Content Network and our staff to the test to come up with new ways to use Greek yogurt - and they didn't disappoint. Here are some of the highlights:
RELATED: 15 Cool Ways to Use Greek Yogurt
Greek Yogurt Spanakopita Recipe
You don't have to use Greek yogurt in your spanakopita, but there's something about it that 1) just seems right, and 2) adds a little extra moisture to the mixture. This recipe almost makes it feel like a Greek spinach chicken pot pie (sans chicken, obviously).
2 packages pastry, thawed (preferably Dufour)
2 1/2 pounds spinach, steamed and chopped
1 large white onion, finely chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 cup dill, minced
1 container FAGE Greek yogurt
1 pound feta cheese
4 eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and thaw the pastry if it's frozen. Steam the spinach, then drain it - try to remove as much moisture as possible by either rolling it in paper towels or a clean dish towel. After finely chopping the spinach, add finely chopped white and green onions, dill, a half-container of yogurt, ½ pound of feta, and 4 beaten eggs. Mix well and adjust seasoning.
Use olive oil to prime your container, then line the bottom with one portion of the pastry. Evenly distribute the spinach and feta mixture over the pastry, cover that with the rest of the yogurt, scatter the rest of the feta evenly over that, and then finish it off by covering the filling with another piece of pastry.
Brush it with a beaten egg and put it in the oven for a half-hour at 400 degrees. Remove, allow it to set for a few minutes, and then dig in!

Pasta with Tomato and Greek Yogurt Sauce Recipe
The Greek yogurt in this recipe is taken out of its normal element and used not for breakfast, but for dinner. It adds a subtle tangy flavor to the fresh tomato sauce, and, as you may have guessed, creaminess.

Lite and Amazing French Onion Dip Recipe
By swapping out the sour cream with your favorite brand of nonfat Greek yogurt, this recipe not only tastes better than the classic version (arguably), but will leave you feeling a lot less guilty.

It is an absolute privilege to be able to participate in this event!!! The scenery is stunning and it has to be the most beautiful of any race. Plus it is well organized with plenty of aid and well supported by spectactors and fellow runners. The first 16 miles are rolling hills on a combination of trails and paved roads. You can push yourself during this stretch since the steep inclines during the last 10 miles require a lot of walking with a few runnable stretches. The last 4k is surprisingly congested single file climbing with minimal chances for passing. But the view of the Jungfrau at this point can be truly appreciated during the slow pace (take a camera!). The race has a 6:30 time limit, but it is the 5:30 cutoff time at the 38K that is strictly enforced. The congested climbing for 3K with a 1K decent to the finish, can take an hour. As a regular 4:30 road marathoner from Ohio (with no mountains to train on) I passed the 38K at 5:10 and finished in 6:10. There is plenty of food and beverages available for purchase at the finish area. Hot showers and drop bags are also nice at the finish before the train ride down. Be prepared for a long congested train ride full of friendly spectators and finishers. The train service to the start and from the finish makes it convenient to stay in some of the beautiful, quieter surrounding villages of Interlaken (Wengen, Lauterbrunnen, Wilderswil). As someone who has completed over 70 marathons in beautiful places, I can not say enough good things about this event and the beauty of the scenery. It helped that the 2012 race had perfectly clear conditions. It is hard to get into this race but if you get the opportunity you will not be dissapointed.
I did my 50th marathon in my 50th year and eight years down the line I was persuaded to join a couple of lads from my club to have a go at the Jungfrau. Apart from my 50 marathons I have cycled a bit , Time Trials up to 100 miles and sportives of over 100 miles. Also as we speak I am European Duathlon age group champion but last week tops the lot, the cammaradarie, the pain, the euphoria, the emotion,I have never known an experience like it. I ran wearing a Scottish vest and to have a piper play Flower of Scotland for me at the highest point was somthing else. Full marks to the organisers too, faultless. A fantastic event which in my opinion warrants the title 'The Ultimate Marathon Challenge.'
This was my second running of the Jungfrau Marathon, having run it once in 2009. You can expect to run the first 16 miles of this marathon before hitting the first serious incline. At that point, unless you have amazing lungs and quads, you will be walking for a bit. Just when you think you will be walking for the next 10 miles, you will hit a stretch where you can run again. That is how the final 10 miles of this marathon play out, and that's the reason you will see the distance markers broken down into quarter-kilometers during this phase of the race. Don't despair, though; the scenery surrounding you will almost certainly take away any pain. You cannot stop staring at the snowcapped mountains as you draw closer to the Jungfrau. If you want a good estimate of how long this marathon will take you to run, just add about 1 hour and 45 minutes to your road marathon time. If you are not running a sub-four hour marathon, you really should not be attempting the Jungfrau. There is a cutoff time of 6 hours 30 minutes and it is enforced. Along the course, you will have plenty of water/fuel stops as well as cheering spectators. The only complaints I have is that at the pasta party you only get one plate of pasta and a banana. A second plate really would be appreciated along with some salad. My other complaint is that at the finish, they hand you a bottle of a sports drink, but no water is available right away. It is a fairly long way from the finish area to the refreshment area so some water early on would have been welcome. This year, I put two liters of water in my bag knowing that getting water after finishing would be an issue. Finally, be prepared for a very crowded train ride down the mountain once you are ready to leave.
Organized with the precision of a Swiss clock, with wonderful support through the villages and extremely helpful water/food/aid stations. Starting in Interlaken you get glimpses of the distant mountains, then through the progressive climb these get closer and closer. After the final climb, it's downhill to the finish under the Eiger/Monch/Jungfrau range is spectacular and spiritually elevating. I felt that I had really earned both the view and the T-shirt. My first mountain marathon, and I'm still buzzing. The only problem is to find something as exhilarating to follow this.
Fantastic from start to finish. I'd been injured most of the summer but the views and crowd spurred me on. Not a great time, but who's looking at the clock in an environment like this? Will be returning in 2011.
The Jungfrau Marathon is astounding! The most beautiful event I've ever done, and organized to perfection. Do yourself a favor and be in good shape for this one. The first 10K are flat, the next 10K contain gradual climbs and then... it gets TOUGH as you go up the mountain. This is sort of a hybrid event because it gets so steep in many parts that you can't run. But it's so worth it!! This one is for people looking for a unique challenge in a spectacular place.
What a fantastic race! This is a marathon that everyone should do at least once in their life. It is a major challenge with lots of power walking up the hills. The course is very crowded throughout the run, so try to seed yourself correctly at the start. Otherwise just enjoy the race and pace yourself. Weather this year was overcast by noon, so you could not see very far once you were going up the mountain (it may have been a good thing). The finisher's shirt and medal are worth the effort (if you finish the entire course).
Everything is perfectly organized. The scenery is amazing throughout the entire course; there were times when I did not know whether to admire nature or keep on running. I ran 5 races before, but this was the first I did not finish (on time). After 30K, the organizers were basically chasing the last runners (including myself). Unfortunately I was stopped at 5:45, with 4K to go. I still believe I could have finished on time. Anyway, I got my medal and finisher shirt. Looking forward to running and finishing this spectacular race.
If you only ever do one more marathon then make it this one. It's a complete and utter privilege to be able to do such a run, so I'm doing it again this year (2008). Enter it as soon as possible (guaranteed entries still available if you go on the training week or weekends). I did the training week last year and it was fantastic.
This is the only marathon I have ever done where I was not glad to see the finish; I was enjoying the experience so much I would have happily had it last a bit longer. The scenery is superb, the finish below the Eiger unforgettable, and there is great support, a great atmosphere, and top-notch organization. Covering the course within the 6.5-hour cut-off is not a foregone conclusion (particularly with the time needed to take all those photos) so be prepared (unlike me). My only negative thought about the event is that it could be a long, long slog in bad weather.

Re: horseradishI forget exactly how it works, but the time between the grinding/shredding and putting in water/vinegar has something to do with potency of the horseradish. Try a web search .....

I did it in the garage with the door open, boy does it take your breath away. then of coarse I had to sample a spoon full.. WOW , after I cleaned up I made a ham saandwich with the horseradish on it, it was so much better than store bought horseradish.

While noting the preliminary findings of the State party's investigation into the incident, the Committee is concerned at the absence of independence of the commission of inquiry and the prohibition to question the officials of the State party's armed forces involved in the incident. The State party should lift its military blockade of the Gaza Strip, insofar as it adversely affects the civilian population. The State party should invite an independent, international fact-finding mission to establish the circumstances of the boarding of the flotilla, including its compatibility with the Covenant.
Earlier this week, a senior Israeli official announced that his government would not cooperate with an investigation into the incident conducted by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website], but will comply with a separate UN investigation created under the authority of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon [official website]. Also in July, an Israeli military probe found insufficient intelligence and planning in the raid, but also concluded that no punishments were necessary. The military probe was conducted at the same time as a civilian one established by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [official profile; BBC profile] last month. In June, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) [official website] called for an end to the blockade [JURIST report], which it labeled a violation of international humanitarian law. The organization described the blockade as collective punishment, a war crime under Article 33 of the Geneva Conventions [text; ICRC backgrounder], and called on the international community to work to persuade Israel to lift the closure.

WASHINGTON -- Robust support from working-class whites and controversies over Barack Obama's former pastor and suspending the federal gas tax fed an unusually strong performance by Hillary Rodham Clinton in West Virginia's presidential primary.
Clinton ran away with the contest partly by capitalizing on the state's nearly all-white population and its low number of highly educated residents -- two segments of voters that have backed her solidly all year.
Whites without college degrees were seven in 10 voters, according to early results from exit polls Tuesday, more than any other state that has voted. Among them, about three-fourths were supporting the New York senator, one of her best performances of the year with that group.
Though Obama has denounced the Rev. Jeremiah Wright for saying the U.S. invited the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and other statements, half said they believed the Illinois senator shares Wright's views a lot or somewhat. Eight in 10 of them backed Clinton.
Even among those who said Obama did not agree with his former pastor, nearly half still voted for Clinton. That included four in 10 of those who said flatly that Obama does not believe Wright's opinions.
The former first lady also has supported suspending the federal gasoline tax this summer to help motorists cope with rising gas prices, a proposal Obama has called an ineffective ploy aimed at winning votes. Six in 10 West Virginia voters liked the idea. Of those favoring the plan, three-fourths backed Clinton. Even those saying it was a bad proposal were about evenly split between the two rivals.
Yet at the same time, three-quarters said they made up their minds on a candidate a month or more ago. Two-thirds of them backed Clinton -- a proportion of early deciders topped only by those who backed her in her former home state of Arkansas, and by Obama's Illinois supporters.
Racial attitudes also came into play, and favorably for Clinton. About one in five whites said race influenced their choice of a candidate, one of the highest proportions who have said so in states that have voted thus far.
Of them, about eight in 10 were backing Clinton, roughly matching the high set by several other Southern states.
About six in 10 whites who said race did not affect them also voted for Clinton.
Six in 10 also said Bill Clinton's campaigning was important in choosing a candidate. Eight in 10 of them voted for his wife.
Overall, Clinton was running unusually strong across virtually all types of voters. She even led among many groups that Obama typically wins, including men, whites under age 30, college graduates, independents and the very liberal.
She was also dominating, as usual, among whites and women. There were not enough blacks in the early exit poll samples for meaningful figures.
Underscoring the divisions the long Democratic campaign has sown, only three in 10 of those surveyed said they would be satisfied if either Clinton or Obama gets the nomination -- well below the 46 percent average of all states that have voted so far. More than four in 10 said they only wanted Clinton to win, and nearly one in five said they'd only be happy with Obama.
In a further indication of sharp feelings, only half of those voting for Obama said they would vote for Clinton should she be the party's candidate in November. Repeating a familiar pattern from previous states, Clinton's supporters were even more negative: Just over a third said they would vote for Obama over Republican John McCain.
The results were from exit polling by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International for The Associated Press and television networks conducted in 30 precincts in the state.
The early data was based on 1,444 people voting in West Virginia's Democratic contest, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
It's easy to follow the top stories with home delivery of The Charleston Gazette.

The Cowboys passing attack combined with our pathetic pass rush has me very worried about the Cowboys game. You know Timmons is going to spend most of the day covering Witten which means its all up to Harrison and Woodley. Not a good situation to be in since they have been average at best all season long and couldn't touch Rivers playing behind a makeshift OL.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!

Which is why I am crossing my fingers that Starks/Foster/Pouncey/Decastro/Beachum can hold up against the Cowboys front and run the ball.
The better we can run the ball, the more likely it is we can win and keep Ben from getting killed. Anthony Spencer is having a great year and will be very tough for Beachum to handle.
I'm worried about Curtis Brown in coverage.

Northvale sound techs have Oscars' ear again [video]
Marko Costanzo is poised near a highly sensitive microphone, intently watching a huge television screen and using the black satin jacket he's wearing over his otherwise casual outfit to make a very specific rustling sound. The Fort Lee resident repeatedly flicks his right hand against the inside of his left forearm to create a sound that's not too abrasive, nor too faint — and perfectly in sync with the movements that actor Ryan Phillippe is making on screen for a film called "Shreveport."
Costanzo is a foley artist, and George A. Lara, in a soundproof control booth to his left, is a foley mixer — terms that moviegoers who stay for the closing credits may have seen without knowing what they mean.
Tonight, Costanzo and Lara will be in Hollywood for the Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards, as nominees for "Life of Pi," a magical adventure tale centering on Pi Patel, a zookeeper's son who finds himself adrift on the Pacific Ocean on a 30-foot lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal tiger. They are part of the team that won an Academy Award for sound editing last year for their work on Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" and is nominated again this year in that category for Ang Lee's "Life of Pi." The awards telecast is next Sunday.
The term "foley" comes from late movie-audio pioneer Jack Donovan Foley, who started in the business during the silent era and helped Universal make the tricky transition to talkies. He once estimated that he walked 5,000 miles in the studio doing footsteps.
A foley artist watches the screen and creates the sound in real time, as the foley mixer captures and manipulates the audio. Costanzo and Lara are masters of the craft, working out of an unassuming building in Northvale for Manhattan-based post-production sound facility C5.
"When we were doing 'Life of Pi,' these animals were all animated, like the tiger and zebra, so there wasn't any source sound to start with," says Costanzo, noting that even the visuals they worked with were unusual. "Sometimes, you'd see stick figures and the next time you're looking at it, they've painted in the tiger and then the next time he has expressions or fur that actually moves in the wind."
In addition to working on many projects for Lee (including "Brokeback Mountain") and Scorsese (including "Boardwalk Empire"), C5 does sound editing for the Coen brothers' films — all from this Northvale foley stage, a onetime warehouse, where they've been since 2001. It's 30 feet by 60 feet, with 16-foot ceilings and walls that are more than a foot thick.
"This is a great location, because of the size of the room, and it's very secluded and very quiet. You wouldn't be able to find this in New York at all," says Lara, noting that in Manhattan, it's hard to avoid outside traffic and subway noise.
Over the past several decades, there have been myriad technological changes in filmmaking (including CGI animation) and sound design. But foley is one area that still requires a human touch.
"I started in the industry in 1983 and computers were starting to be big, and they talked about a foley droid [that] was going to be able to create sound effects or access [effects] libraries," Costanzo says. "It's now 30 years and they haven't come up with a foley droid yet. We're efficient."
All around, there are the props that are the tools of their trade — with lots more stored upstairs and in a garage — including a rack of jackets and shirts of different materials. "Wools don't make a lot of noise, but cottons do and denim is great," says Costanzo, who also has the fabrics needed to simulate a person wearing, or sitting on, leather or any other surface.
A large stack of all kinds of shoes (in Costanzo's size, 13 wide) enable him to do all sorts of footsteps on a variety of surfaces. The room also has a wooden platform, a stairway to nowhere and a "dirt pit," which has leaves, sand, gravel, pine needles — and small pea stones, which the Coen brothers specifically requested for "The Man Who Wasn't There."
"It was part of the writing in the movie, so we went out and got what they were talking about," says Costanzo. "And that's what it's all about."
There are collections of swords and knives, shovels and rakes, and lots of doors — from cars and houses, with various handles and knobs.

Tables and racks full of clothing. This picture is an emblemto me of what we are facing today. The floundering economy is leaving familiesscrambling for basic necessities like food and shelter. In my town when we wereleft with a few handfuls of people in dire need, that picture was just thebeginning of the response.
The clothing poured in and was set out in the gymnasium of achurch that was a little over a block away from the smoldering remains of thehotel that was home to about 16 people. March 5th was the day that Isaw the better part of people that I'd forgotten about for at least a while.
It made me ask myself why there have been so many complaintsabout the concept of the government stepping in to save various businesses. Theapproach so far has been imperfect – like A.I.G. – but objecting to the entireprocess of bailing out our economy seems a bit mean-hearted when it isconsidered as disaster relief instead.
People who could ill-afford it stepped up and gave to firevictims here for one reason – it was the right thing to do. We've been livingso long in a culture of greed and avarice; it is refreshing to see that sort ofcharity – even if it is from those who have the least to give. I am not sayingthat the people of my town are poor, but when compared with those who haveplaced us in the current economic peril, they are. There are no billionaireshere, but the people here have enough sense to realize when they need to give.
The call now, for those who have been hoarding moneyat the expense of many, is to stand up and take responsibility for your actions.We are beyond the point where making money for the top one or two percent ofthe nation is the goal. Wall Street needs to realize that it owes Main Street –and Capitol Hill needs to make the laws to enforce the payment of those debts.It's a simplistic statement, and will undoubtedly take mountains of paper andweeks of debate to make it happen. It is unfortunate that all those businessmenand politicians can't seem to get a simple concept – you don't stand by andwatch people suffer in the wake of a disaster. You help.
Think this is good?

News Releases by Email
News Release
Thursday, September 15, 2011
Media contact: Joy Hill, 352-258-3426
A 23-year-old St. Johns County man found out recently that robbing commercial blue crab traps is serious business in Florida and could land him in prison.
Trevor J. Jones (DOB 01/31/88) of St. Augustine was booked into the Putnam County jail Sept. 15, charged with theft from a blue crap trap, a third-degree felony. If convicted, Jones faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
"Stealing from a commercial blue crab trap is a serious offense because it is interfering with a person's livelihood," said Lt. George Pottorf.
Over the Labor Day weekend, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Officer Mike Florence and Pottorf were on patrol near Fort Gates on the St. Johns River when they saw Jones throw a crab trap into the water from his boat. As it turned out, the trap did not belong to Jones, who had neither a commercial permit to trap crabs nor a recreational saltwater fishing license. The officers removed the trap as evidence and returned the live crabs to the water.
Trapping blue crabs commercially requires a permit, and it is standard procedure for officers to inspect vessels when occupants are setting or pulling traps from the water.
Stealing from blue crab traps is a statewide problem. The blue crab is a restricted species, which means the number of people who can harvest blue crabs commercially is limited. In fact, commercial fishermen seeking a restricted species endorsement (permit) to harvest blue crabs on a saltwater products licensemust prove that a certain percentage of their income is derived from the sale of blue crabs.
Another problem with pulling up someone else's crab traps is that the placement of traps is critical to a commercial crabber's success. When someone pulls one up and throws it back into the water haphazardly, there is a good chance it won't end up in a good position to trap crabs.
But people who want crabs for supper don't have to steal someone else's. Anyone with a valid recreational saltwater fishing license may harvest crabs in traps as long as the traps meet certain criteria. Recreational crabbers are limited to using five traps, each of which must be marked with a buoy with the letter "R" painted on it. The name and address of the crabber must be permanently attached to the trap also. And each trap must have three escape rings, so smaller crabs can escape, as well as a biodegradable panel or device that will deteriorate, so crabs will not be forever trapped if the trap line is cut or the trap is abandoned.
To report crab trap robbers and other violations, please call the 24-hour Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922). Callers may remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward if their information leads to an arrest.
FWC Facts:Any vessel operating in an "idle-speed, no-wake" zone must operate at the minimum speed that allows it to maintain headway and steerageway.

Bill Goldberg Goldberg
(Former Wrestler -
*Appearing SATURDAY Only!
Full Name: WILLIAM SCOTT GOLDBERG
Height: 6 4 - Weight: 285 LBS.
Born: DECEMBER 27, 1966
Hometown: TULSA, OKLAHOMA
Bill Goldberg followed in the paths of many wrestlers who have made the transition from the gridiron to the squared circle to become wrestling stars - he just did so faster and to a greater magnitude than anyone else in history. In only his second year in the business, Goldberg became one of the biggest names the wrestling business has ever seen. And now, Goldberg has transitioned from being a star in the ring to a television and feature film star.
Bill Goldberg was not a typical wrestling fan growing up, but instead focused most of his attention on football. An excellent player in high school, Goldberg starred as an All-SEC and All-American Nose Guard at the University of Georgia. When his career as a Bulldog was over, he eyed stardom in the National Football League. After spending time with the Los Angeles Rams and then winning the World Bowl with the Sacramento Surge of the World League of American Football, Goldberg signed on with the Atlanta Falcons in 1991. After three years with the team he suffered a torn abdominal muscle, which put him out for the 1994 season. Goldberg was signed by the Carolina Panthers in 1995, but could not rebound from the injury sufficiently enough to play. He was thus forced to retire from football.
Goldberg never planned on becoming a professional wrestler. He crossed paths with many World Championship Wrestling stars while living in Atlanta. Though the world of wrestling was intriguing to him, joining the ranks of professional wrestlers was not an option that Goldberg seriously considered at the time. Later, Goldberg was working out in a gym owned by Lex Luger and Sting and was convinced by Sting to take a chance in the squared circle. After months of training in the WCW Power Plant, Goldberg made his official professional debut in WCW against Hugh Morrus, pinning the 300-pound wrestler. The next year and a half would be among the most remarkable periods in professional wrestling history.
Began quickly mowing down his opponents with his patented Spear and Jackhammer combination. Eventually he got his chance at the gold when he wrestled Raven for the WCW United States title. Showing little nervousness in his first title match, he quickly overpowered Raven and pinned him for the title belt. With his reputation and winning streak growing, everyone looked forward to a showdown between Goldberg and Hollywood Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight championship. In front of a red-hot crowd in Atlanta, Georgia on July 6, 1998, Goldberg speared Hogan and then hit the Jackhammer to obtain the pinfall. With the championship belt around his waist, he was now the biggest name in the sport and finished the year as the PWI Rookie of the Year.
Over the next year, Goldberg found himself battling members of the New World Order and other wrestlers striving for his title. Finally, Kevin Nash, after interference from Scott Hall (who used a Taser on Goldberg), was able to pin the champion. Goldberg subsequently placed himself in a hunt to reclaim his gold, often taking on various factions of the NWO. During one of these confrontations, Goldberg ran out into the parking lot of an arena and punched his fist through the windshield of a car. In doing so, he suffered a cut to his arm that took almost 190 stitches to close and which almost hit a nerve, seriously placing his career in jeopardy. For almost six months he was forced to the sidelines and relegated to making publicity appearances and participating in the many charities he supports. Finally, after a great deal of speculation that he might not be able to make it back to the ring, he did so in June 2000 to a great ovation from his fans. Goldbergs success continued, and fans were thrilled as Goldberg mowed down his opponents.
Bill Goldberg has been able to utilize his notoriety to obtain roles in Hollywood films and appearances in major publications and on various television shows.
Goldberg, who was named one of the 100 most powerful people in the sports industry by The Sporting News and has graced magazine covers from Entertainment Weekly to TV Guide, has also been featured in articles in People, Spin, Rolling Stone, Gear, and USA Today. His many talk show appearances include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis and Kelly, Larry King Live, The Dennis Miller Show, Turn Ben Stein On, and The Man Show.
Goldbergs starring roles in feature films range from The Longest Yard and Santas Slay to his roles in Warner Brothers Pictures Looney Tunes: Back In Action, Ready to Rumble and Universal Soldier II.

Arbequina Olives
Barcelona's choice.
These small brown beauties are the olive of Catalonia, Spain, and a must for the olive lover in your life.
Too small to be harvested by mechanical methods, the care and time it takes to hand pick arbequinas is a testament to their quality and reputation. Brownish purple in color, they have a unique nuttiness that makes them easy to devour by the handful, especially if you dress them with a bit of olive oil and orange rind. One jar might not be enough.

Jesse Mathews
Chattanooga police have said the suspect in the fatal shooting of one of their own on Saturday is Jesse Mathews, a parolee and fugitive from Colorado who is wanted there on robbery warrants.
Mathews is suspected in the fatal shooting of Sgt. James Timothy Chapin, a 26-year veteran, and wounding of Officer Lorin Johnston during a pursuit after an armed robbery at the U.S. Money Shops at 5952 Brainerd Road.
Police said the robber fired at officers and was wounded when they returned fire.
Police spokeswoman Jerri Weary said in a news release that Mathews is still hospitalized and no information available on his condition.
The investigation will be lengthy, Weary said.
Funeral services for Chapin will be announced later.
"This morning hearts are heavy at the Chattanooga Police Department over the loss of fellow officer,"Weary said.

here's the wanted P.O.S.
A parolee. I suppose we can thank some politician like the ones who "commute" sentences that turn around and murder...thank you Mr. Mike Huckabee, or we can thank a prison system that's going broke because it gives prisoners the comforts of home and education & feeds them better than our elementary school kids.
The mans color has nothing to do with it. He is A POS. I hope we don't half to spend the money to put him on trial. Hell is ready for him. I can think of no better place.
@cowboy920 if the man's color had been that of a minority, and God Forbid if he'd been a minority from south of the border, one can only imagine the ship'em back to Mexico, Africa crowd who would have been committing on this story. The comments would have been in the hundreds, perhaps thousands by now, rather than only 4?!!
He looks like a skinhead or Aryan Brotherhood type. It would be interesting to learn more about the rest of the shooter's life story.

The plant, proposed by PlascoEnergy Group, will use gasification (rather than more commonly used incineration) to generate electricity, and they're hoping they can use a cooler gasification process to lower the cost to a competitive price. The plant will utilize plasma-torch technology to break down trash into syngas – a mix of hydrogen and enter site high quality cialis carbon monoxide – which can be burned in turbines and engines to lowest price propecia best create electricity. It's an expensive endeavor, hence the worry about getting the process tweaked to lower costs. They're also relying on the right combination of rising costs for traditional electricity and fees collected from the http://www.markwellgroup.com.au/cheapest-viagra-uk city. Sounds a little risky, but possibly doable. There's probably a few creative financing angles they could toss around too, in terms of trash collecting and whatnot, should the new gasification process turn out to be not be as money saving as they hope.
The facility will be North America's first, but similar plants in Europe and

But where does the energy come from to burn the waste in the first place?
Somehow i don't think there will be any net increase in energy out of this project and more likely more energy will be used then will be created, and in the end the extra energy cost of running this plant will raise our electricity costs in Ottawa.
This seems like a waste of money to me.
There is lots of soft gel levitra land up here and we are in no way running out of space like other bigger cities to the south.
written by Jared, July 15, 2008
The energy for the plasma torch actually comes from generators onsite that use the usa online pharmacies who sell tramadol combustible gases created from the plasmafication process to go.
Basically, it powers itself, but there is a lot of power left over, so they pump it into the grid.
The city loves this plan because our primary dump is full, and our primary private dump is turning into an eyesore. This new plant is cheap viagra from canada designed to levitra 30 mg actually use more waste per day then the city generates and therefore actually empty our dump over time.
Dig into the technology some, it's really interesting and might have some amazing potential to save a lot of cities from opening new dumps.

Duets and guest artists aren't unheard of on pop and rock songs, though they're more of a staple in hip-hop and country. Still, this is an eye-opener. Annie Lennox apparently called everyone she knew to join her on a track called "Sing" from her forthcoming album "Songs of Mass Destruction" (great title), and they all said yes.
The song, described as a "feminist anthem" on Lennox's Web site, will feature some of pop's biggest stars among a crowded roster of 23 female singers. Billboard has ID'd some of them, including Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Celine Dion, Shakira, Bonnie Raitt and Pink. The song will benefit South African organizations that campaign for the rights and treatment of people with the HIV virus.
"Songs of Mass Destruction," which was produced by Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill," ) will be released on Oct. 2. It will be preceded by the single "Dark Road."

Defrag to go? Smart Defrag Portable, please
The data on your hard disk becomes fragmented over time, slowing access and wasting disk space.

IObit's Smart Defrag is a freeware disk defragmentation utility that offers various improvements over the Windows tool, including what is described as "the world's fastest defragmentation engine." That's probably enough for many readers; with hard disks in terabyte territory, fast isn't just good, it's critical. We've used Smart Defrag many times, and … Read more

Dear Gossips,
MTV announced yesterday that Mark Wahlberg would be the recipient of the Generation Award at the upcoming Movie Awards next month. Marky Mark is a movie mogul now. So this made me think back on some of his movies. Actually, just one movie. Which is why I didn't end up doing my Veronica Mars homework last night. Instead, I rewatched Fear. When is the last time you saw Fear? For me, a long, LONG time.
So long that I totally forgot about the roller coaster.
You remember what happened on the roller coaster? What they did, or what he did, on the rollercoaster? I'm going to play that scene for you now and you're going to feel all kinds of hilariously awkward and weird at work and it's so mortifyingly cheesy you might not be able to stop laughing all day but …
As brutally embarrassing as that was, I wouldn't take it away for anything. Read Full Intro

Especially if Neville Longbottom took his shirt off. I'm a couple of days late on this because it came out just as the weekend was starting but that doesn't mean the enjoyment won't last. Full Story

I've been waiting all day to write about the Canadian Screen Awards to see if the photos would come down in cost…and they haven't.

That's what his interviews feel like these days. Like he's letting his guard down and we're seeing inside the shell. The admissions of therapy, the reluctance to take on another superhero franchise, his open acknowledgment of his nervousness-bordering-on-social-anxiety. None of that is bad stuff. Full Story
"Always keep your foes confused"…
Says Littlefinger in the new trailer for Game Of Thrones Season 4. Is that how the show manages to stay ahead of its peers? Dragons! Big, big dragons, I can hear Sarah screaming. Oh yes, the Khaleesi's dragons look enormous now, circling their mother, the mother of dragons, as she leans back wantonly on a cliff, overlooking that which she aims to conquer. Full Story
