Greensburg —
Sunday evening, Nov. 11, Matthew Abell, 27, of St. Paul, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, a class "D" felony, and for possession of marijuana, a class "A" misdemeanor.
According to police reports, Officer Russell Growe of the Westport Police Department clocked Abell driving 10 miles over the speed limit. He was headed south on State Road 3, north of County Road 950 South. Officer Growe stated that Abell was pulled over for speeding. When Abell began arguing, Officer Growe noticed that Abell was shaking and that his eyes were bloodshot.
Officer Growe asked if Abell had been consuming alcoholic beverages. Abell allegedly turned away and placed his hands on the ceiling of his car where Officer Growe couldn't see them. Growe requested multiple times that Abell place his hands where they could be seen before Abell consented.
Officer Growe requested that Abell turn off his car and exit the vehicle.
According to police reports, Abell consented to be frisked. Officer Growe discovered nine white hydrocodone (a prescription pain medicine) pills, and another bag containing marijuana. Abell was subsequently arrested.
He's currently being held without bond, with a court date yet to be set.

I just watched Irreversible last night for the first time and was so blown away. It's weird--the subject matter is depressing, but the film itself didn't depress me. It kind of exhilirated me--not because I got off on it, but because it was so honest about such a taboo subject.
A lot of the IMDB comments talked about whether a film like this is necessary and whether the violence is gratuitous or exploitive. Shit like this, and worse, really does happen and very rarely do you get to see it in a safe context where you can think about it without having to go through it. I think it's important to think about the nasty shit in life because how the fuck are you going to do something about a problem if you refuse to stare it in the face? How easy is it to safely pigeonhole human beings who have horrible shit happen to them, to make out like they deserved it or brought it on themselves. If that's true, then of course violence will never happen to us because we're smart and good, and bad things only happen to the stupid and evil.
I saw this movie the same night that I had a run-in with a psycho woman that ended in me calling 9-1-1. I've literally never seen that level of crazy firsthand before and it really kind of fucked with my world.
Then I went home and watched Irreversible and here was a movie about the randomness of violence and insanity that can punch a hole right through your suburban middle-class life. It just came at exactly the right time. I've heard it said that the reverse plot was gimmicky, but I liked it. It was a trip how the horror of the beginning was in the spectacle of violence, but the horror in the end was in the foreboding of what was about to happen. The swirling camera movement disoriented me and I loved that, too. Noe was really trying to make you sick to your stomach on so many levels, and it worked for me. Why would I want to watch a movie that makes me sick to my stomach? Why the hell do people eat habanero peppers? Sometimes people like their sensory pleasures to hurt a little. I don't know exactly why. Because mankind is fucked up? Because a little bit of pain makes life seem sweeter and more real? There are probably a lot of answers to that question.

In my humble opinion this could have gone in the main forum...while it's not traditional "horror" it's certainly "horrorific"!
Nice write up on it. It's rare I see a film that I think is genius, as this one certainly is, yet hesitate to recommend. The violence in it, especially the notorious nine and a half minute scene, is nearly overwhelming. I actually felt a little "ick" from the film for a couple of days.
I read somewhere that the first 20 minutes (the long scene in that hellish gay sex bar) also includes some sort of sub level sound that is beneath the human range of hearing, that is supposed to induce mild nausea. This is unconfirmed.
If you liked it, check out his other film, I Stand Alone. Also a powerful picture, very dark, though perhaps not quite as brutal as Irreversible (though...it's still brutal).

yeah, dramatic irony at it's best. that's you get to play with when you mess with the timeline (either via sequence or via actual time travel or memory [MEMENTO, LOST HIGHWAY] or whatever). very cool. seems Ebert had some fun stuff to say about this too, re porn vs non-porn. anyway, for my money, the scene that was all sticky for me and wouldn't leave my head was that bashing the head in part, where the camera just would not look away, no matter how much I wanted it to. one of the best/worst death scenes I've scene, though that guy in THE PROPOSAL getting his head blown off, it's pretty cool as well, and has the surprise factor working for it (unlike in SCANNERS or MANIAC or etc, where you know it's coming, are waiting for it, even). though too you can't ignore the final kill(s) in TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE/BAY OF BLOOD, which, like with ONE NIGHT AT MCCOOL's, is just a total surprise.

Agreed ... great movie, but not one that I can handle too many repeat viewings of. I don't if any other movie made so many top 10 lists AND bottom 10 lists the same year. It has a lot more going on than just the violence in the first part (though the effects of that permeate the entire movie), though many of the negative critics can't get past that bit. I've actually found that friends of mine who are more art-house fans, but not horror or exploitation, came away raving about this (presuming they were open-minded to start with). It's also a cool movie technically. The "reverse" storytelling, as noted, is not a gimmick but serves the emotional impact of the movie. And there's interesting camera-work -- pretty much the whole movie is done as a continuous take (with the aid of computer effects). I'm pretty sure the "sound" thing in the club (making the audience queasy on purpose) is true -- Noe might've said it in the commentary or making-of docs.
Does anyone know if Gaspar Noe is ever going to make another feature? It's been 4 years, and the only new things on his imdb listings are a short and a compilation. There's something tentatively titled "Enter the Void" for 2008, but not info about it.

I HATE I Stand Alone...
Saw it when it was in the theaters... and there was a big to-do about how "shocking" it was... and how there are "warnings" that appear so that you can look away as a bit of nasty violence was going to happen...
The film was a POS... it was "shocking" for the sake of being "shocking"...
With that being said... Irreversible is AMAZING! Brutal movie... and for those who haven't seen I Stand Alone... the fat fuck in the begining of Irreversible who's talking about banging his daughter... is the guy from I Stand Alone

I have to respectfully disagree. There was a brain to it, and there was more than simply being "shocking". The film allowed insight into the the butcher's mind by the constant narration of his running thoughts. He was an awful person, and he did awful things, but the process of his thoughts gave an almost understanding to his awful actions (note: not justification to those actions...). You could actually see the way the man thought.
I felt it was an excellent character study of a particularly foul individual.

DALLAS - Thousands of Dallas Independent School District students and teachers took part part in a 5K run one day before the MetroPCS Dallas Marathon.
The over three-mile race was started a decade ago by then Mayor Laura Miller. It's a way to encourage school children and their families to become more physically active. The Saturday run benefited the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.
Bright and early Sunday, hundreds of thousands of runners will hit downtown for the MetroPCS Dallas Marathon.
The starting corral will be along Main Street. At 8 a.m., runners will cross at Market Street and head toward West Dallas.
The end of the race is along Griffin Street on the north side of the Dallas Convention Center.

In the state of Indiana, one matchup jumps off of the page Saturday in Indianapolis.
In Class 3A, defending champion Washington (23-4), a program that boasts six state championships on its resume, takes on Culver Academies (19-6), a newbie to the state finals.
On the surface, this seems like a storyline that has already played out around the country, but the team's big men make this one special.
For Washington, a school in southwestern Indiana, 6-foot-11 Cody Zeller mans the middle and averages 24.1 points and 13.3 rebounds per game. The Indiana recruit is both the top scorer and rebounder in the tournament.
However, Zeller will be only the second tallest player on the court Saturday as Culver Academies, a school in northern Indiana, will look to 7-footer and New Mexico recruit Chier Ajou to slow Zeller in what may be the premier battle of big men this championship season.
In Class 2A, undefeated Hammond Bishop Noll (26-0), a school in the northwest corner of Indiana, looks to complete a perfect season against 2010 runner up Park Tudor of Indianapolis (25-2).
Park Tudor is led by junior Kevin Ferrell, who averages 18.7 points and 6.6 assists. The true point guard has verbally committed to Indiana and is ranked the third best point guard prospect in the country and 23rd best prospect overall per ESPN.
Trevon Bluiett, a 6-foot-5 forward, is the Panthers' most accomplished player inside. He averages 13.7 points and 7.6 rebounds.
Hammond Bishop Noll relies on a more balanced scoring led by transfer student Adonis Filer, who averages 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Filer was a Chicago Catholic League first-team pick as a member of a 26-5 Mount Carmel team in 2010. While not signed yet, Filer is fielding about a half dozen Division I offers.
All four state championship games will be webcast in live audio and video at www.espn3.com

Have a say on Lancashire's library hours
9:34am Wednesday 5th December 2012 in News
MORE libraries could see their opening hours extended at selected branches across the county.
More than half of Lancashire's 74 libraries increased their opening hours from October, and new proposals could see changes at a further 23 libraries countywide.
A consultation is running until Saturday, January 5.
Julie Bell, county library manager, said: "As a result of feedback from users, staff and local communities, 48 of our libraries now open half-an-hour earlier in the mornings, and at no extra cost.
"We're now looking at whether library users may benefit from similar changes at more of our branches.
"Any decisions we make, including no change, will depend on the public response to the questionnaire."
Questionnaires in hardcopy will be available in the 23 libraries included in the proposals, and staff will be on hand to offer help and advice.
People can also fill in an online questionnaire by visiting lancashire.gov.uk/ libraries.

ANNETTA SOUTH, Texas — A teenager in an upscale Fort Worth suburb told a 911 dispatcher he didn't want his mother or younger sister to "feel any pain" when he killed them last week, according to a tape of the call.
"I just thought it would be quick, you know," said the caller identifying himself as Jake Evans, 17. "I didn't want them to feel any pain. That's why I used a gun, but it was like everything went wrong."
The Parker County sheriff said Evans murdered his mother and younger sister, then called 911 about 12:30 a.m., Thursday. His voice calm, the caller described the slayings in detail to a dispatcher during 25 minutes before deputies arrived.
Evans was told to turn on a porch light and walk out of his house with raised hands, said Sheriff Larry Fowler. He was arrested without incident.
Deputies discovered the bodies of Jami Evans, 48, and Mallory Evans, 15, and a .22-caliber revolver on the kitchen table, Fowler said.
In a 911 tape, the caller identifying himself as Evans tells how he lured his sister from her room:
"See, my sister, I told my sister that my mom needed her. She was in her room, and she came out of her room, and I, uh, I, I shot her. She rolled down the stairs, and I shot her again. And then I went down, and I shot my mom about maybe three or four times."
Evans said he would never forget his sister's screams. He told her to hold still; he was going to make it go away. "But, finally she fell down and I shot her in the head, about probably three times," he said.
Fowler said he isn't sure why Evans shot his mother and sister. There was no history or mental illness, drugs or alcohol, and the family seemed stable and well respected.

Remember all those horrible television ads in the Tim Kaine- George Allen race for the U.S. Senate? It turns out not everyone with those campaigns liked them, either.
Mo Elleithee, a senior strategist for the Kaine campaign, and Boyd Marcus, a senior political advisor for Allen's Senate bid, agreed Thursday that many of those ads were "total crap." Elleithee said the negative ads paid for by outside groups actually helped Kaine.
The two spoke candidly for more than an hour at a Virginia Public Access Project forum at the George Mason University Arlington campus. George Mason political scientist Mark Rozell moderated.
The pair — Elleithee is a longtime Democrat, and served as senior spokesman for Hillary Clinton's presidential bid in 2008; Marcus, a Republican consultant based in Richmond, served as former Gov. Jim Gilmore's chief of staff — talked a lot of inside baseball. And judging by the crowd's reaction, that's just what people wanted to hear.
Conservative groups like Crossroads GPS, Americans for Prosperity and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce began running negative ads against Tim Kaine in November 2011, Elleithee said. In the end, outside groups spent more than $30 million against Kaine, with nearly $11 million of that coming from Crossroads.
Conventional wisdom usually dictates that negative ads benefit campaigns more than positive ones. But Elleithee said against the backdrop of so many negative ads — and so many of them done poorly — Kaine was able to realize a rise in the polls with positive ads.
The outside spending helped Allen make up the difference in one-on-one fundraising against Kaine, Marcus said. But, he added, "a lot of what they spent money on wasn't targeted correctly, or we wouldn't have spent the money that way had we had that money."
"It was crap. It was total crap," Elleithee said. Marcus agreed.
"There were times I would see the ads coming at us from the other side, and I said, 'Thank you. There is no way that ad is going to convince once single voter to vote against Tim Kaine.' And I remember thinking, 'I bet the Allen folks feel the same way,' " Elleithee said.
Marcus added: "There were a couple of them that were decent ads, and followed the themes we were trying to play. But well over half, I'm sure, of the ads that were done independently weren't on our message, weren't on any message we were trying to convey, and weren't very well done."
Ads by the U.S. Chamber were "the worst," he said.
Kaine issued a challenge to Allen early on that the two agree to penalize themselves in the case outside groups, so-called SuperPACs, got involved. Allen refused. Elleithee said he was worried Allen would agree; he was counting on the onslaught of horrible ads to benefit Kaine.
The only other candidate in American political history who has had to sustain as much spending on negative advertising against him has been President Barack Obama, Elleithee said.
"We had the absolute best fundraising operation in the country in the Kaine campaign," he said. "We raised a record amount of money and from a record amount of people — over 50,000 individual donors by the end of the campaign. This was borne out of necessity. Because we saw early how much money was going to be spent against us."
Election Hinged on Turnout
Marcus said Allen ran a disciplined campaign and did not make any fundamental mistakes. The campaign was trying to push a "softer image" following Allen's 2006 debacle, where a racial slur cost him his Senate seat. That was made more difficult by the hard-edge ads put forth by outside groups.
The Allen camp got close enough that if Republicans had delivered Virginia for Romney, Allen would have won, Marcus said.
"This election was driven by the turnout, and our people did not get it right," he said.
Elleithee said several times that the Kaine and Obama campaigns worked "hand in hand" on get-out-the-vote efforts, which Republicans routinely underestimated, and relied on the Democratic Party of Virginia's established network.
That didn't happen on the Republican side of the fence, Marcus said. While Virginia saw a lot of GOP activity, "most of it was pretty worthless," he said.
"Essentially, the Romney campaign ran the whole ID and turnout operation through the (Republican National Committee's) 72-hour model that's been used for the last several years. And it doesn't work," Marcus said. "There are fundamental parts of it that don't work. It's based on this idea that you can parachute this group of people into anywhere, and give them quotas — how many phone calls they need to make, and how many doorknocks they need to make, and that will generate the turnout that you're looking for."
Elleithee and Marcus agreed that the best outside ads were done by the Republican and Democratic Senate campaign committees, which each seemed to have someone in charge who was at least familiar with what was going on in Virginia.
Marcus talked about how the Allen campaign saw fighting the sequestration bill, and linking that to saving Virginia jobs, as a winning message. Elleithee said voters were more concerned about partisan gridlock standing in the way of solving issues like unemployment and the deficit, which caused Kaine to push a heavy bipartisan message — including running an ad that spoke favorably of working with Obama and President George W. Bush.
"Both sides knew that the need to project this bipartisan aura was important," Elleithee said. "Voters just believed our messaging more at the end of the day."
The two agreed that Virginia has become a state where successful candidates have to win suburbs — making places like Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun and Chesterfield counties, along with Virginia Beach and Chesapeake all the more important.
Rozell said afterward he hoped to make such candid post-election discussion an annual event.

I tested this pad during a four-day sea kayaking trip…
Price Paid: sample for review from Kelty
I tested this pad during a four-day sea kayaking trip to the Apostle Islands over Labor Day. Space was limited in my kayak. It was essential that the chosen pad take up minimal space, could fit through the small hatches of my kayak, but still be comfortable to sleep on. And, because we would be camping on different islands each night, inflating it had to be quick and dirty.
Many demands were placed on a single camp pad. Did the Recluse 2.5i make the cut?
The conditions of the trip were ideal for testing a camp pad. The days in the kayak were relatively long and rough, even by Lake Superior standards. The waves ranged from gentle swells to four-foot beaming monsters. The winds blew anywhere from 10 to 20 knots. The nights were chilly. After a day paddling, I wanted to lie down on a camp pad that quickly inflated and didn't require much effort from me. I honestly had none to give after a day on Lake Superior.
Inflating the Recluse 2.5i was a breeze. A unique, integrated hand pump fully inflates the pad in about three minutes. Just open the side valve and pretend you're giving CPR. If you spend a lot of time camping above 10,000 feet, this is a nice feature because you won't have to blow air into the pad and suffer a head rush. This ease of inflation scored the Recluse mega bonus points because, like I stated earlier, the days were long and physical and we camped on a different island each night.
For comfort after a day paddling, the Recluse 2.5i has multiple air channels that cradle your body and keep you centered on the pad. I didn't slide around on the pad, like I'm want to do on other pads. The pad itself is sized perfectly. It is not too narrow that you can't be comfortable, but not so wide that it makes a tight fit inside the tent.
Deflating is also simple and fast and getting it back into its storage sack is a lot easier than other camp pads I've known. Open the air valves, flop on the pad, listen to hissing of deflation and then fold it into thirds, like you would a bath towel. It packs down small to fit in any pack or the woefully undersized hatches of a Nigel Dennis Romany sea kayak.
Overall impression? Very good. It doesn't offer the same level of insulation and comfort as my Exped Downmat, which is my barometer for measuring camp pads, but the price and weight and ease of inflation, deflation and stuffing it back into its sack spanks Exped.
To be fair, the Recluse 2.5i and the Exped Downmat isn't exactly an apple-to-apple comparison. Still, I highly recommend the Recluse 2.5i and I did in fact find it to be a comfortable pad on which to sleep.

Price Paid: $70
Best sleeping pad I've used so far.
- Small, lightweight
- Integrated pump
- Comfort is adjustable with easy to reach release valve
- Appears to be well made
- None so far
At 52 years old, 6'3" and 210 lbs I was ready to move up from my trusty old Therm-a-Rest to something a bit more cushy. I got this last winter in prep for some summer camping with my kids.
After several backpack outings, I can say this is, by far, more comfortable than my Therm-a-Rest (traditional style from the mid-90s). Pump it up firm, get settled in, then adjust the comfort by slowly releasing air from the valve just above your head.
The integrated hand pump works well and so far, the durability seems good. Time will tell as I have read some reports of air leaking. I like the fact that I can pack my sleeping bag and this pad in the zippered bottom of my backpack so I don't have the big, rolled up pad on the outside of the pack.
Nothing more important than how you sleep at night…

Price Paid: $100
Nothing more important than how you sleep at night on the trail. The Recluse 2.5i has been perfect, even at 6'2"and 210lbs it has been extremely comfortable. Rolls up tight, a little bigger than soda can. The integrated pump works flawlessly and the raised sides keep you from rolling off it. Excellent product, very durable.
- Comfortable
- Light
- Durable
- Packs small
- None
Kelty did a great job with this product. The Recluse 2.5i is one of, if not the best, sleeping pads I've ever used and the insulation definitely helps here in Northern New England. I pair this with my Kelty Cosmic Down 20 and it's great.
The integrated hand pump works effortlessly and as advertised, it only takes about 1-2 minutes to inflate. It also doesn't lose any air during the night which other brands have been known to do. I also like the raised sides as it keeps me on the pad.
I'm extremely impressed at how durable this pad is. Its been on about two dozen outings and never fails. It does include a repair kit, but I don't see myself ever needing it because of how well made the pad is. But of course I'll keep it in the bag because you never know.

in Norcross is a three-level fountain and waterfall that leads to a splash pool. Open at 10 a.m.
Don't forget the interactive fountain at Mall of Georgia, located on the Village Pavilion side of the mall. Adjacent to the air-conditioned building is a plus. Opens at 10 a.m.
2. The 'Hooch
Because the water that feeds the Chattahoochee River through Atlanta comes from the depths of Lake Lanier, the water temperature is much cooler, usually in the 70s (which is one reason trout can live in the river).
Check out parks all along the river, especially the two managed by Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation, which don't require a user fee to enter — and .
As always on this stretch of the river, the water level can fluctuate and create dangerous water conditions when power is generated at Buford Dam. So heed the warnings posted in many places.
If you don't mind paying a user fee, there is plenty of access to the river and Lake Lanier through National Park and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers parks.
3. Go Shopping
OK, so we know it's hard to go shopping and not spend money, but malls are always air-conditioned.
Check out Discover Mills mall in the Lawrenceville-area, where you can, in fact, not spend a dime. The mall is set up as an indoor oval, which will give you an easy way to get some walking exercise in. Add a stop in at Bass Pro Shops, where there's a large fish aquarium, staffed animals and other interesting things to see.
The Mall of Georgia's size (and, of course, its interactive water fountain) is good for a cool stroll, too.
At any mall, you can plop yourself on a bench and stay cool while you people-watch.
4. Movie Marathon
It's OK if you want to stay indoors at home while the sun bakes your fescue lawn. It might be a good time to watch those Harry Potter, James Bond or even Three Stooges DVDs you've always thought you would watch more often, but just haven't.
If you need to get out, try the cheap-seat theaters like the 10 in Lawrenceville or the in the Santa Fe Mall in Duluth. The movies aren't first-run, but starting at about $2, they may be worth a visit this time of year.
5. Pool Time
Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation runs nine pools/aquatics centers in the county, all located within a short drive of most residents.
Expect large crowd throughout the summer, and especially, during heat waves, but at $3 to $5 ($6 to $10 for non-Gwinnett residents), it's a good value.
If you want to avoid the sun, try the indoors pools at the following aquatics centers: and in Lawrenceville, Bogan Park in Buford, in the Norcross area and in the Lilburn area.
Do you have your own cheap way to stay cool during the summer? Tell us in the comments below.

Fischer: Required sequestration cuts should be easy to achieve
Nebraska U.S. Senator Deb Fischer says it should be easy to achieve the spending restrictions required by the so-called "sequester" that will take effect Friday. The legislation requires $85 billion in automatic spending reductions in military and domestic spending that many say would have a negative impact on the nation's security and economy.
Fischer says all it requires is responsible budget cuts that would amount to 2.5% of the $3.5 trillion federal budget. Fischer says it should be something that is a catalyst to making the country more efficient.
Fischer says she sent a letter Tuesday to Ag secretary Tom Vilsack about the possible furloughing of meat and poultry inspectors as part of the automatic cuts. Fischer says Vilsack should look at cuts in travel in other areas rather than threaten to impact the nation's meat supply with meat inspector furloughs.

I think of myself as a real estate match maker. To me, a house is not just a thing, it's a special place where people live, create their lives, recharge their batteries. It's a safe haven where you can go to relax, unwind, entertain and enjoy life. Children are raised, pets are adopted, holidays celebrated, bread is broken and life is lived. I am so honored to be part of that process with my clients and I know it can take time to find that special house you can call home!
By the way, I answer my phone, my emails and my texts as quick as I can, it's a little flaw I have because I think great service is about communication. I value every person in the transaction; the service I provide to other parties in the transaction goes a long way to making a smooth closing – the other agent in the process, the inspectors, appraisers, lenders and attorneys I believe are also
my customers as we progress through to the closing. My goal is to get you to the closing as quick and smoothly as possible! Call me today, I would love to put my skills to work for you!

6The Sexiest Man Alive is Having a Baby
Wait, that's not Channing Tatum! Good thing, because Channing Tatum isn't the sexiest man alive anyway.
No, this is Jenna Dewan, Channing Tatum's wife, and she's having a baby—namely, Channing Tatum's baby! From People:
The actor and his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum "are pleased to announce that they are expecting the birth of their first child next year," reps for the couple confirm to PEOPLE exclusively.
Crowned PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive in November, the Magic Mike star admitted he and the American Horror Story: Asylum actress, both 32, had babies on the brain, adding a family wasn't too far off in their future.
"I'm ready; I think she's ready," Tatum told PEOPLE recently. "The first number that pops into my head is three, but I just want one to be healthy and then we'll see where we go after that."
Left up to Tatum, the couple — who wed in Malibu in 2009 — would be going the distance … all the way into the double digits. "It's really easy for us guys to say, 'I want like 15 kids,'" he noted. "Jenna will be like, 'Well you better get another wife!'
Hear that, guys? Hear it? It's the collective screams and groans of a million disappointed women who actually, for whatever reason, thought they stood a chance with the 'Dear John' actor.
Congratulations to the new family!

Coach's Email Week #2
Hello to everyone and I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. Week two is in the books. First DYSA games are right around the corner. Also, thanks to everyone for wearing practice shirts. It was much easier to scrimmage and drill using the scrimmage jerseys (pennies). Not only were we playing like a team, we were looking like one too.
Week two, we continued to try and get ball touches. We also began to focus on creating space and learning how to defend during different scenarios. Learning to create space, we had the boys set up on different grids trying to dribble thru 2 defenders, 1 at a time. We later played some games with one attacker and multiple defenders, teaching the boys how to best help one another defensively. We were faced with some challenges Tuesday and we learned from them. It is my personal mission to teach these kids soccer in a fun and simple manner. Always remembering that the game is the best teacher.
Our teams are really bonding and getting into a practice groove. It was awesome to see some new friendships forming on the field. I was also very encouraged by Thursday's practice. Everyone really stepped up. The communication on the field, could not be any better. Evan and Chase both received awards for outstanding sportsmanship at practice.
This week… We will continue drilling in hopes that our boys get lots of ball touches. I would also like to expand our drills geared towards creating space. In addition, you will see drills and hear me talking a lot about "improving your position on the field." The boys are becoming field aware and it is time for them to always be thinking a step or two into the future. We will begin drilling this with some simple give and goes. As we progress, we will give the kids options and start to see them take advantage of what is presented to them on the field. Given that we play our first games this week, instead of a 10-15 minute scrimmage. We will have a 15-20 minute scrimmage to end each practice.
Our practices are very active. The boys do move quite a bit. I hope that everyone has time after school to drink some water and eat some food. In closing, I can't wait to see them take the field Saturday for their first DYSA games. I hope the boys are as excited as I am.
See you Tuesday…
John LeSage

Planting trees, Gators-styleMonday, November 10th, 2008
The University of Florida is getting into the "green" act in time for its Nov. 15 home football game against the University of South Carolina.
As part of UF's Neutral Gator Initiative — a program designed to offset carbon emissions resulting from the school's football season home games — the Arthur R. Marshall Foundation staff and volunteers plan to plant 200 native trees on a part of the 700-acre Torry Island in Belle Glade.
Torry Island is a wetland area the foundation is reforesting as part of an effort to restore the greater Everglades ecosystem.
The late Arthur Marshall was a UF alumnus, as is his nephew, foundation chairman John Marshall.
The planting is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Saturday at 5000 W. Canal Street North.
So far, the foundation and its volunteer force has planted more than 35,000 trees on Torry Island.
Gators working to preserve the Everglades.
How appropriate.

A.J. Khubani founded TeleBrands Corporation on a "shoestring" with his life-savings of $20,000.
In 1983, Khubani graduated from Montclair State University and worked at his father's importing business. Working there, Khubani started to experiment with different selling products through direct response print advertisements.
That same year, Khubani was hawking a $10 alternative version to the infamous Walkman radio and placed a $7,000 ad in the National Enquirer. Though he only broke even with the ad, this success fueled his curiosity to find more products. Khubani has always attributed his success to good products, "Just by writing and offering a good product at a good value, people were willing to send me money." He said.
In 1987, AmberVision Sunglasses were introduced to the world as the company's first television commercial hit the airwaves. Two years later, Herman's Sporting Goods placed the eyewear on their shelves. This was TeleBrands first million dollar hit, and that same year they brought their direct TV marketing success to the retail world. In developing the packaging for the AmberVision, Telebrands created the world renowned "As Seen On TV" name and logo.
Telebrands' aim is to design products that save consumers time and money by providing affordable, convenient solutions to everyday challenges. Throughout the years, Telebrands has been behind such successful products as PedEgg foot file, PediPaws pet nail trimmer, Stick Up Bulb, Olde Brooklyn Lantern, Pocket Hose, and Stone Wave.
TeleBrands' products are now available in over 120 countries around the world. "You have to be creative. You have to motivate yourself, and you can't get too comfortable." Khubani has said of his company's great success.
Khubani has been honored for many high achievements, and in 2010, he was inducted into the Free Enterprise Hall of Fame. Along with this, Khubani has also received the Montclair State Certificate of Appreciation and the Best Go-To Market Strategy Award. He is also a popular speaker and media personality. In May 2013, he was the keynote speaker at the NJ chapter of Entrepreneur's Organization at the first annual Garden State Entrepreneur Excellence Awards.
This year, TeleBrands is celebrating its 30th Anniversary in business and is thriving as a nearly one billion dollar marketing giant. A.J. Khubani made the cover of Response magazine, which pays tribute to Telebrands' 30 years in business. TeleBrands boasts that even after all these years, there's still much more to come from them. "I think that I'm really at 30 years…I have finally figured out what I am doing…and I really enjoy it and I think I'm pretty good at it." Khubani said, and this entrepreneur shows no signs of stopping.

CATEGORIES MoviesHarrison Ford is going back to space. According to Variety, the grizzled action hero is set to play the grizzled military officer Colonel Hyrum Graff in the upcoming adaptation of 'Ender's Game' opposite youngsters Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin and Asa Butterfield ('Hugo'). Based on the popular 1985 novel by Orson Scott Card, the story follows Ender (Butterfield), a genius student, who is recruited by the government to destroy an alien race known as the Buggers. Ford's Graff is a military officer who trains recruits at an academy that Ender attends.
Gavin Hood, best known for the critical bust 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine,' will direct. Obviously that Hood credit doesn't bode well for 'Ender's Game,' nor does Ford's recent adventures with extra terrestrial activity ('Cowboys & Aliens'). Hey, at least the use of aliens won't completely blindside us, unlike it did in that archaeology-themed movie Ford starred in back in 2008. Ahem.
'Ender's Game' is set for a March 15, 2013 release date.
