"Sunny and buzzing." — FADER
"NPR First Listen Feature – Social Studies offers up a full-flavored serving of everything from tropical beats to neo-soul to a dash of indie rock. Body Language may traverse an impressive range of styles, but the group has only one clear motive: to move bodies on the dance floor." — NPR
"Soulful dance-worthy grooves." — Rolling Stone
"Body Language are in the same ballpark, quality-wise, as, respectively, early Madonna, the disco label Prelude's 1982 output, and CSS doing an impression of Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. That is some ballpark. It is possibly the greatest ballpark there is." – The Guardian
"We haven't been able to get this Brooklyn-based quartet out of our heads…and that's a good thing." — NYLON
"Brooklyn dance-pop act Body Language make music practically designed for remixes." — Pitchfork
"Gets busier with the R&B, and floats twinkling glockenspiel and twee boy/girl harmonies over bin-rattling booty bottom." — SPIN

New from Brooklyn-based indie electro-pop band Body Language: the official music video for "You Can," off of their "Social Studies" EP on the Lavish Habits. Dreamy vocals soar over lush layers of synth; a sweet electro tune with lots of early-eighties charm.
Our good friend and SF-based producer Justin Martin made his very first release on dirtybird records in 2005. Seven years later, he delivers his long-awaited debut artist album with the very same smile and fun loving attitude he's had since the beginning. "Ghettos & Gardens" is exactly as advertised – a tender and tough collection of songs that build you up with sweeping strings, then break you down with earth shattering basslines. It's sunsets vs. cyclones, roses vs. razors, and bunny rabbits vs. wolverines.
Maybe it's the streets of San Francisco that made his music this way – a place where you can see a beautiful woman and a crippled homeless addict on the same city block. Maybe it's the juxtaposition of the famous dirtybird Golden Gate park parties, where Justin's loving parents make tacos and chop fresh salsa while total freaks lose their minds in front of the massive sound system. Not a whole lot of producers are just as influenced by E40 as they are by LTJ Bukem, and even fewer of them played the jazz saxophone in high school.
Whatever is going on, most people would say that Justin is one of the most charismatic likable DJs to walk the earth. In this album Justin demonstrates his unique ability to blur the lines between musical genres, taking us through beautiful melodies, UK basslines, moody funk and devastating drops. You can hear the meticulous produc- tion techniques in every track – from the slow Hip-Hop style of Hood Rich to the heavy duty low-end of Molokini. The whole thing is fresh and uplifting like the smell of ozone after a lightning strike. Ghettos & Gardens sounds like nothing else out there – it could not have come from anyone but Justin Martin.

In this business brief, PwC discusses the risks and opportunities associated with global infrastructure investment, and offers insight into optimal project management, governance and assurance.
As the competition for global investment heats up, governments and businesses around the world are focusing their attentions on the ability of national infrastructure to drive—or hinder—economic growth. 10Minutes on Global Infrastructure examines the value that can be realized from investments in key initiatives, and the emerging influence of public-private partnerships in financing, building and operating major global infrastructure projects. Opportunities for investment abound and, as sustainability features more prominently in infrastructure development, that opportunity set will cover a growing spectrum of projects, from more traditional transportation build-outs to the development of "smart" electric grids.
While nations and businesses are focused on the social and economic value of infrastructure development, the increasing complexity of global infrastructure projects also creates new risks for all parties involved, requiring intense focus on risk management and accountability. This issue of 10Minutes explores the risks and opportunities associated with global infrastructure investment, and offers insight into the project management, governance and ongoing assurance that is increasingly required for project success.

Less than a week after Canadian Football League Winnipeg Blue Bombers all-star Jonathan Hefney from Rock Hill admitted to team officials he had been charged with marijuana possession May 31 while at home in York County, the team cut Hefney.
The news of Hefneys release comes as Rock Hill court officials say he is due in court Wednesday on the misdemeanor charge.
Last week the teams management said it was going to wait and see what happened with the court case, but that wait was just a few days as Hefney was sprung from the roster Saturday.
Hefney, 28, had signed a new contract during January after leading the team in tackles last season. Blue Bombers officials only learned of the drug charges from Herald staff after The Herald published a story June 10 at heraldonline.com, and later in the June 11 edition of The Herald.
A Rock Hill Police Department report showed Hefney was charged and released May 31.
Hefney apologized to the team for not disclosing the incident but also told team officials the incident was a misunderstanding.
Hefney allegedly was driving his pickup truck on Main Street at 1:20 a.m. May 31 when he was stopped for speeding, police reports show. Police found 6.2 grams of marijuana and a grinder, police allege.
The Winnipeg coach and general manager, in statements to the media after the defensive back was released over the weekend, said the decision was mostly performance-based.
However, team officials have not denied the arrest was involved in the decision.
Hefney, a former star at Rock Hill High and the University of Tennessee, was not made available to the media by team officials last week and he has not made any public statements about being charged with drug possession or getting cut.
The court record for Hefneys criminal case does not show his having a lawyer, according to Rock Hill city court officials.

Thirty five years ago, a new era in reproductive medicine began with the birth of the first test tube baby in England.Now, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a common practice for a growing number of couples struggling with infertility.Tammy and Hared Scheel want to remember every smile, every laugh, even every sleepless night with there daughter, Evelyn."We still look at each other in the morning when she cries and go, 'We have a baby!'" Tammy said.The Scheels tried to have a baby for four years."I didn't want to tell anyone we were having problems," Tammy explained.The first specialist they saw told Tammy that she unable to conceive.After considering adoption, the Scheels consulted a Nashville Reproductive Specialist, Dr. Jaime Vasquez."There's been a huge amount of progress in reproductive techniques," Dr. Vasquez said.The Scheel's Christian faith guided their reproductive decisions, but it wasn't always clear cut. Standard IVF practice involves inseminating several eggs and leaving some embryos to perish outside the womb."An embryo sitting in a Petri dish has yet to become life. We've had questions back and forth, changed our views on this as well. When that embryo becomes viable inside a woman's body we get into a different story, obviously," Jared explained.Now they are among millions who have conceived through IVF since the first was born 35 years ago in England."Bob Edwards was the PhD, the scientist, and I think they did something like 240 IVF cycles before Louise Brown was born," explained Dr. Vasquez.Dr. Edwards passed away in April. He had been awarded the Nobel Prize for his work.The Scheels conceived just after 2 cycles of IVF, a personal story they are no longer hesitant to share."I have a baby. She's beautiful; she's wonderful; I've never been so happy," Tammy said.

---- — NORTH ELBA — A Bloomingdale man was arrested Sunday for allegedly damaging property in a courthouse after he was arraigned for another crime.
At about 2:35 a.m., Monroe F. Gladd, 35, allegedly kicked the front of a soda vending machine while police were escorting him out of the North Elba Courthouse, Ray Brook-based State Police said.
Gladd was intoxicated at the time, police said.
He was taken to Essex County Jail in lieu of $1,000 cash or $2,000 bond.
He was being arraigned on a charge of fourth-degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, stemming from an incident the day before where he and his girlfriend were driving in a car and he allegedly broke her cellphone, police said.
For damaging the vending machine, Gladd was charged with third-degree criminal mischief of property valued at more than $250, a felony.
Gladd is scheduled to reappear in court at 6 p.m. May 6.

Fort William

Fort William
The World > Europe > UK > Scotland
Fort William (Scottish Gaelic: An Gearasdan, "The Garrison" pronounced [?n 'k??r?s?t??n] ) is the largest town in the highlands of Scotland only being exceeded in size by the City of Inverness.
Fort William is a major tourist centre with Glen Coe just to the south, Aonach Mòr to the north and Glenfinnan to the west, on the Road to the Isles. It is an important centre for hillwalking and climbing due to its proximity to Ben Nevis and many other Munro mountains, marketing itself as the "Outdoor Capital of the UK". It is also known for its nearby downhill mountain bike track and its connection to the West Highland Way from Glasgow and the Great Glen Way; a walk/cycle way from Inverness to Fort William through the Great Glen.
Around 726 people (7.33% of the population) can speak Gaelic.
Historically, this area of Lochaber was strongly Clan Cameron country, and there were a number of mainly Cameron settlements in the area (such as Blarmacfoldach). The nearby settlement of Inverlochy was the main settlement in the area before the building of the fort, and was also site of the Battle of Inverlochy.
Fort William from Loch Linnhe.
The town grew up as a settlement next to a fort constructed to control the population after Oliver Cromwell's invasion during the English Civil War, and then to suppress the Jacobite uprisings of the 18th century. The fort was named "Fort William"' after William Of Orange, and the settlement that grew around it was called "Maryburgh", after his wife. This settlement was later renamed "Gordonsburgh", and then "Duncansburgh"[2] before being renamed "Fort William", this time after Prince William, Duke of Cumberland; known to some Scots as "Butcher Cumberland". Given these origins, there have been various suggestions over the years to rename the town (for example, to "Invernevis"). These proposals have led to nothing as of yet.
During the Second World War, Fort William was the home of HMS St Christopher which was a training base for Royal Navy Coastal Forces.
Fort William is the northern end of the West Highland Way, a long distance route which runs 95 miles through the Scottish Highlands to Milngavie, on the outskirts of Glasgow, and the start/end point of the Great Glen Way, which runs between Fort William and Inverness.
On 2 June 2006, a fire destroyed McTavish's Restaurant in Fort William High Street along with the two shops which were part of the building. The restaurant had been open since the 1970s and prior to that the building had been Fraser's Cafe since the 1920s. The site is still empty in 2011 and the adjacent Grand Hotel has now also closed.[3]
[edit] Future development
A "Waterfront" development has been proposed by the Council though there is not overwhelming support for this in the town.[4] The development will include a hotel, some shops and some housing but it was discovered early in 2008 that it is unlikely to be completed before 2020.[5] It was announced in April 2010 that the project has been abandoned.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

I was able to crank start my '48 cub today. I have been neglecting the battery and it didn't have enough juice to turn the cub over.
Just pulled the choke, set it to half throttle and within 4 cranks it was running like a top.
I just moved to a new house with a 1000' driveway. The snow was nice and wet and curled up nicely to the side.
Thanks to the new shoed I got from Barnyard at the Bash, I didn't move too much gravel.

---- — HAMPTON, N.H. -- A Seabrook woman accused of careening into bicyclists Saturday morning on a coastal bridge, killing two and injuring two others, is heading to court this morning to face negligent homicide charges.
Nineteen-year-old Darriean Hess is expected to be arraigned this morning at Seabrook Circuit Court on two felony negligent homicide counts and two felony counts of second degree assault. Each charge is a Class B felony, carrying a maximum sentence of seven years in jail and fines up to $4,000, per charge.
Pamela Wells, 60, of South Hamilton, and Elise Bouchard, 52, of Danvers, were killed in the accident. Uwe Uhmeyer, 60, of Essex, and Margo Heigh, 54, of Danvers, were both injured and transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
Bail was set at $50,000 cash. Hess was arrested yesterday afternoon and transported to the Rockingham County Jail in Brentwood to await arraignment, according to Hampton police.
The investigation into what prompted Hess, who was traveling southbound, to cross the center line of the Neil R. Underwood Bridge around 8:30 a.m. and strike bicyclists traveling north continues. During a press conference outside the Hampton Police Department about an hour after her arrest, neither police Chief Jamie Sullivan or Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams would comment on whether alcohol or texting was involved but said the crash appears to have been the result of driver inattention and excessive speed.
Reams wouldn't comment on how fast Hess was traveling other than to say that it was excessive and that witnesses were surprised by how fast she was driving. The county attorney said it was still unknown where Hess was going at the time of Saturday's accident.
Located on Route 1A, the bridge connects Hampton Beach and Seabrook Beach. The two-lane bridge, which is about 300 yards long, arches over the tidal waters connecting Hampton Harbor to the ocean.
As part of its investigation, police obtained a blood sample from Hess that is being examined for alcohol and other substances. They also confiscated her cellphone.
Heigh spoke with reporters briefly at her home on Otis Street in Danvers yesterday afternoon after Hess' arrest was announced. Her face was bruised around her chin.
"I hope that justice will be served," Heigh said. "That is what we all want so we can all heal."
Despite the tragedy, Heigh expressed sympathy for the 19-year-old driver.
"I'm sad for her and her family, but not as sad as I am for me and (my friends) families," she said.
Heigh described Wells and Bouchard as wonderful friends who trained for the ride together throughout the summer.
"We spent a lot of time cycling together," she said.
Heigh did not elaborate on the accident or the extent of her injuries, but was walking yesterday.
"I am obviously a miracle," she said.
Less than eight hours before Saturday's fatal accident, Hess was pulled over for speeding over the same bridge and told police she didn't have a license, according to local police.
Hampton police confirmed that Hess, driving the same 2002 Honda Civic involved in the crash, was stopped on Ocean Boulevard at 12:45 a.m. Saturday after cross the bridge at a high rate of speed. A Hampton police officer using a radar gun clocked Hess at 59 mph; the speed limit is 30 mph.
When asked to produce a license, she told police she didn't have one. She was issued a summons for a speeding violation and for operating a motor vehicle without a license, and ordered to wait for a friend to drive her car away. Hess is due to appear at Hampton District Court in Seabrook on Oct. 23, to answer for those charges.
Sullivan and Reams explained to the dozen or so members of the media surrounding them that speeding and driving without a license charges aren't considered criminal offenses and that the officer who pulled her over hours before the crash acted properly.
"The incident that happened that night had nothing to do with the prosecution of the deaths or the injuries," Reams said.
"These two incidents are completely unrelated," Sullivan added.
The owner of the car has yet to be charged for allowing someone without a license to use the vehicle, but Reams and Sullivan said that could change as the investigation continues.
When asked if he was frustrated that Saturday's fatal accident could occur, Reams said, "Everyone of these kinds of events is a tragedy."

Top Teachers: Ryan Stein
Pinchbeck E.S., fourth grade
There's been a revolution at Pinchbeck Elementary. Take a moment and let the fourth-grade parents tell you about it:
"My daughter always complained about going to school until this year," said one. "Now she can't wait to go and she is so excited about what she is learning."
"My child was starting to dread school," said another, "because the rigor of the SOLs was creating pressure to squeeze so much material into the school day. Mr. [Ryan] Stein has creatively managed to marry fun with learning."
"[Our child] was struggling, had low self esteem due to low grades, and had little on-on-one attention and guidance from his prior school," said a third parent. This year he . . . never wants to miss school."
Even students who were "okay with school" in the BMS [Before Mr. Stein] era have been transformed – into wildly enthusiastic.
"My daughter comes home each day talking about all the things she is doing in class," said a parent. "She is eager to do homework [or] sing a song about [what she is learning]."
"In a few short weeks," added another, "Mr. Stein has turned my son around from being a reluctant reader to being an enthusiastic one. My son's grades have gone up and he can't wait to get to school.
"I have never seen my child so happy and eager to learn," wrote one enthused parent. "Mr. Stein is the teacher every parent dreams of having for their child."
In Ryan Stein's class, say parents, there is no such thing as rote memorization.
Instead of lecturing about the trials and tribulations of Jamestown, he has students dress up and hold a mock trial, playing the roles of judges and lawyers. He also brings in "mystery readers" from the community and writes songs for the students that teach Virginia history. The students then dress as characters from that period and sing the lyrics to create a "dance video."
"He is the textbook case for the way teachers should be teaching to prepare their students for the 21st century," wrote a parent. "In the first nine weeks of school, my son has already composed a PowerPoint book report and a video book, been a lawyer in a mock trial, acted in a rap video and filmed a Claymation animation video. That is some pretty techno-savvy work for fourth graders.
"Mr. Stein truly brings learning to life."
Outside of class, Stein (pictured with his class on '70s day) attends students' extracurricular activities and conducts voluntary reading groups, allowing students who have read the book to eat lunch with him and discuss it. He also invites students to stay after school and watch movies based on books the class has read. If a student is upset about something, he eats lunch with the child and shares his own growing-up experiences. During recess, when the boys in his class like to play football, he refuses to segregate the class and supervise the girls in a separate activity. Instead, he plays quarterback for the girls' team and leads them in games with the boys.
An advocate of year-round schools, Stein has created blogs and other tools as a way of extending learning outside the school day. Because instructional time is so limited, he said, it is imperative for students to have a tool that they will "embrace, enjoy using and learn from at home daily, including the weekends."
Stein, who has provided hundreds of workshops for college students and teachers on integrating 21st-century technology into teaching, said he developed his teaching philosophy by "stealing bits and pieces" from outstanding teachers and administrators he has known.
"But hands down," he said, "the greatest influence on me [as a teacher] has been my mother. Her passion, determination, work ethic, and enthusiasm for making a difference in the world are highlighted every single day in my classroom. She made me realize that life is about whom we are and what we give rather than what we have."
This past January, he experienced his most rewarding moment as a teacher when the 100th Virginia school chose to implement History MVP, the educational songs and computer software program he developed for daily instruction.
"My dream of implementing my innovative teaching tools and philosophy by using music and dance to engage, educate, and inspire children in school all throughout Virginia has finally come true," said Stein.
"I have found my profession to be extremely rewarding, and I am grateful to all my students for enriching my life."

What the heck was Jamie doing? I felt so awkward that I started sweating. I'm not sure what she said during "Kissing 101," but it's equivalent to this: "So you close your mouth, I'll open mine, and then close it while you open. OK, keep your mouth shut. Ready? Go." Everyone in America who was watching that is now more dumb. Jamie, I award you no rose, and may god have mercy on your soul.
First One-On-One- Kacie B.
Ben and Kacie did what everyone else does on a second date. The two took a helicopter ride over Panama City and then spent the day on a deserted island. They did some things that required working together, one being fishing. A date like this requires a certain personality, and Kacie B. has it. Ben said, "We make a great team."
Later at dinner, Kacie opened up and said she had an eating disorder when she was in high school. I think she still does because she didn't touch her food all night. She and Ben have a good connection and he gave her a rose. Side note: Kacie should never wear her hair like that again. It looks like it got in a fight with a comb and a beaver.
Group Date- Nicki, Courtney, Casey S, Emily, Lindzi, and Jamie
Ben picks the girls up in a wooden boat and they road up river to stumble upon a small village. They dressed up in the same type of clothes as the people in the village and learned a few things such as dancing. Courtney decided she wanted to entertain the village people, and it wasn't by doing the "YMCA," but by not wearing a bra. Courtney stole the show during this portion and the other girls were getting annoyed and frustrated. On Ben's shoulder blade, she painted "B+C=heart." Well, I think "C+Anything=No Solution." At the cocktail party, Ben once again played tonsil hockey with everyone except Jamie because she had never played and didn't know the rules. She is now banned for life from that game.
Ben gave the rose on the group date to Lindzi and I think it's her third time to receive a rose on the group date – which she should because other than Kacie B., Lindzi comes off as the only legit contender.
Two-On-One Date- Blakeley and Rachel
Before the date even started, Blakeley was very arrogant and Rachel was intimidated. Ben and the two girls went salsa dancing, which I want to learn now after watching. Blakeley clearly had the advantage over Rachel. Let's be honest here, VIP cocktail waitress=VIP Strip Club Employee. It was so awkward watching them dance while Rachel was standing there alone. That was the definition of a "third wheel."
At dinner, when talking about who he will choose, Ben told Rachel, "I just don't know what I'm going to do." I think he made the right decision when he gave the rose to Rachel. Blakeley and her scrapbook were on the next flight home.
Then, we find out that Casey S. has a boy toy back home named Michael. If it was Kacie B., I would definitely take credit for this, but it's not. It makes sense now why her and Ben had zero chemistry and their talks were lacking...everything. Casey came on the show to try and get over her ex, but realized she still has feelings for him. Once she told Ben, he told her just to leave. Casey was absolutely bawling on her way to the airport. I don't think it was because she was leaving, but because she was in a light blue minivan while every other girl got a limousine when they got sent home.
Courtney- This girl will eventually be the reason this show is forced to move from ABC to HBO late night if she sticks around. The skinny-dipping incident shows her character and, once again, she had to show off her body while Ben and Jamie were talking. She's so annoying that she is funny. Next week it looks as if the girls decide to tell Ben exactly who she is.
Jamie- I can't imagine what her family thinks of her after tonight. She is a very shy person and was definitely out of her element. Her life has changed drastically now and should lay low for a while. Poor thing. She will probably end up writing a book and calling it "Kissing for Dummies."
Casey S., Blakeley, Jamie
My Top Three:
Kacie B., Lindzi, Emily
Send me a DM on twitter, @MikeGDaviesof who you think will win Ben's heart. ALL of those who win will receive two tickets to a Wolves game. You have until the episode before the hometown dates to send in your winner. If you don't live in Chicago and still win, then go give your best friend a high five.

CATEGORIES MoviesFans of "School of Rock" are probably unaware that Jack Black has re-teamed with the hit family film's director Richard Linklater for another bizarre character comedy. However, this time around, their collaboration is a very different affair: the indie dark comedy "Bernie."
The grimly funny tale is based on the true story of Bernie Tiede, a beloved community figure in the small town of Carthage, Texas, who in 1996, confessed to murdering the wealthy and elderly Marjorie Nugent. Bernie's close friendship with the widowed Nugent was a well-documented dysfunctional relationship, and when the crime occurred, it irrevocably changed the tiny Texas community.
To bring the story of Bernie to life, Jack Black delivers one of the better performances of his career, making Tiede a unique and sympathetic character, full of bombastic Southern personality.
Moviefone sat down with Black to talk about his experiences working on the movie and interacting with the real Bernie Tiede. He also discussed one of his more obscure films of his past: the 1993 rollerblading/surfing teen action dramedy "Airborne" -- a movie that, according to the Tenacious D frontman, proved to be inspiration to one, Paul Rudd.
How surreal was that experience of meeting the actual Bernie Tiede? It was intimidating to play a real person because it's in the back of your head the whole time. What are they going to think when they see it? Are they going to think I did it wrong? Did I not capture who he is? I remember sitting there with him, listening to him talk and feeling a bit light headed. I had a weird sensation that my hands were getting too big, like they were blowing up because I was staying so still. I was so nervous. There's something about playing a real person -- I'm not accustomed to that kind of pressure.
But he was a very sweet guy. And it was surreal to see him in this environment with these hardened killers and serious criminals; he does not give off that vibe in any way. I was glad we portray him in the movie as very sympathetic, and basically say this is a classic case of temporary insanity, if ever there was one. And I was glad that when we went to see him in the prison, it didn't disprove any of the things we were claiming. He didn't come off as someone who would be a threat in any way in the general public, whereas some of these people that do much less time, it's like "You're letting them out!? That guy will go and do some more crime!"
What elements of the Texas lifestyle were you unprepared for? The sweetness. When you look at it on the map all you see is "red state," when you're a big hippie like me. I'm a big left-wing liberal from California and my idea of Texas is this super conservative -- which they are -- tough bunch of a-holes. But when you get there, the southern comfort is real. You really feel welcome and there's a lot of love.
A lot of people would come up and say, "I knew Bernie, he was a real sweet guy." Rick's vision was populating the film with tons of people who were actually there. That's a rare thing. You don't see that in film very much. Leave it to Rick to push the envelope in that way.
I don't really know know how to phrase this question, but I'm just going to say it how I wrote it down: How awesome is Richard Linklater? Oh, Linklater's the best. He's old-school in that he likes to rehearse. He comes from a theater background where he likes to read through the scenes and work the nuances and change it based on the rehearsals. Whereas most directors I've worked with, almost all of them, there's no rehearsals. You just show up on the day and act for the first time in the scene on camera. Then he'll push the envelope at the same time; he's super new school.
Were you already a fan of his before "School of Rock"? I was. "Slacker" was my first introduction to Austin, Texas. It just made it look so cool. Where is this Valhalla of bohemian arts community? It was how people talk about Portland now; that's what "Slacker" was for my generation.
Preparing to talk to you, I forgot just how extensive your filmography is and you've done a lot of work that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Away from "Kung Fu Panda" or "School of Rock," what project of yours do you feel is more deserving of a second look? I never feel the need to go back. I always look to the next thing. I don't think there's any real huge injustice. I like the ones that were well received. Those are the ones I would want people to remember me for. I don't need them to remember me for "Envy" or the Vapoorizer. That's okay, that can go away. [Laughs]
Well then let me ask this: Have you encountered many fans of "Airborne"? Oh "Airborne"! That was a good one. I do get some "Airborne" love which is always appreciated. They probably don't want me to repeat this, but the dude, what's his name, I'm so horrible with names, Paul Rudd. I saw him not that long ago and we were like "Hey man, love your work" and he said [whispers], "Jack I need to confide in you. I was really inspired by your work in "Airborne" when you came out and you gave that little speech in front of the class." I think he's so fucking funny and the fact that he took some weird turn of phrase, that was one of the best compliments I've ever received really. And I know that that movie's a hot piece of cheese.
But it's so fun. That's one of those movies where it aimed to please. It was a crowd pleaser. It did its job but on a small cable; I don't think anybody went to see it in the theater, but on cable it lived, lived and lived for years.
I kid you not, it was shown to me in class. That's how I discovered it. Watch a great movie about kids just hanging out. Hockey and Rollerblading. That's a horrible name for a movie though. Like "Airborne"? Is it about Airforce Rangers? Is it about hang gliding? No, no, no, it's about rollerblading. Why? Because they jump sometimes and they're airborne? It's totally wrong.

Library closes for refurbishment
2:29pm Monday 27th January 2014 in News By Andy Carswell, Reporter
GREAT Missenden's library closed this week to allow the first phase of a refurbishment to take place.
The building is being converted to include a meeting and activity space and a police office on the ground floor - meaning the library will be out of action for two weeks.
A mobile library service is being provided at Buryfields coach park in the meantime to reduce the inconvenience for users.
The library, in High Street, will re-open at 9.30am on Tuesday, February 11 - and after that work to create office space for the police will start. It is expected to take six weeks to complete.
The mobile library will be available from 9.30am-4.30pm on Friday, January 31 and Monday, February 3, from 10am-1pm on Saturday, February 1 and from 2-5pm on Thursday 6.
A celebratory re-launch party is set to take place once the library has re-opened.
Thames Valley Police are moving in to refurbished offices at the library after Chiltern Area Commander Supt Steve Hockin said their old premises in the village was "no longer fit for modern policing purposes".
He added the move would have no impact on to staffing levels or the delivery of policing in Great Missenden.

Eagle Ford continues to expand business
Anadarko Petroleum to build state-of-the-art plant south of Cotulla
There are more signs of progress and production along the Eagle Ford Shale play with a new natural gas processing plant being built along I-35 just south of Cotulla.
Anadarko Petroleum is building the plant on 400 acres of leases west of the highway and south of Carrizo Springs.
"This plant is the first of its kind in the Eagle Ford," said Craig Collins, commercial development manager for Anadarko.
The plant sits on about 150 acres.
Natural gas is piped from the fields to the plant to be processed. It first goes through a "slug catcher," which separates carbon dioxide and water.
The next step is the demethanizer, "the heart and soul of the cryogenics gas process," Collins said.
The gas is cooled to negative 160 degrees so the methane gas can be separated from the liquids.
The gas then goes through a compressor.
The methane is shipped via pipeline to Corpus Christi to be sold on the market, while the liquids are sent to a plant east of Houston to be broken down even more before they are sold.
The state-of-the-art plant is eco-friendly. The compressors use electricity and since the gas is piped to and from the plant, few trucks are on the already busy highways.
The efficiency also is a key to production.
"Anadarko's Eagle Ford production right now is enough to produce enough energy to power over three million homes," Collins said.
When the plant goes online in a little over a month, it will be able to sustain that production and for them hopefully increase it.

I want to correct an error in the reporting above. By no means did the "entire Environmental Planning Commission" vote to include housing. It was a 5 to 2 vote.
It is a disservice to alter the facts. This should be corrected.

Are there plans to build another school for this increase in population? I keep reading about new housing, but never about how this will impact education in the city.

Please pray that I will find some good Christian friends soon, that I will find a good group to get involved with. I want friends that will do life together not just acquaintances. Pray that I will learn to hear God's voice and have the wisdom to follow it. Pray that God will change my negative, complaining attitude and that I will finally get out of the wilderness that I am living in. I'm afraid God is going to leave me here.

Since entering high school, I have been faced with many temptations. I basically lost my relationship with God and the people at my church. Other than that, I'm being faced with drugs. It seems like EVERYONE around me is doing drugs even the "good kids". Although my closest friends aren't a part of this, I'm still very tempted by the drugs. I know that they are bad and not what God wants me to do but I just can't seem to shake the thought from my head. I know there are so many things wrong with them but yet part of my is saying that they are ok. I just need something or someone to shake me from this thought and soon.

My husband just told me he's divorcing me. That there's nothing I can do to change his mind. He has become so cold & bitter towards me. I have suffered from depression & I admit I treated him very cold during that time & had lost my feelings for him, but I received a miracle & God restored my love for him & brought me out of the depression during a healing service one day at church. At that time I felt God calling me to prayer over our marriage struggles & upon my obedience to it God has revealed himself to me multiple times & I truly believe it is His will to restore my marriage. Things really seemed to be going better, now this happens. My husband is adamant that he could just never love me again. That this is impossible to fix. I know in my heart that all things are possible with God, however I'm human, & it's hard to be optimistic in any way feeling the hurt & pain I feel at this moment. I truly felt God's will was to restore my marriage & here I stand in the midst of complete chaos. I'm heartbroken & devastated for my 6 year old daughter as well.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service raised the stakes in a conflict between environmentalists and Elko County, Nev., in June, when it proposed critical habitat for the endangered bull trout along the Jarbidge River. The agency proposed designating 131 miles of streams in Idaho and Nevada as critical habitat — which sets aside land essential to the survival of an endangered species, and may bring special management restrictions — after being sued by the Alliance for the Wild Rockies and Friends of Wild Swan.
Within the habitat sits South Canyon Road,
a mile-and-a-half long dirt road that washed out in 1995, and now
lies at the center of a running feud over county rights. The Forest
Service halted its plans to rebuild the road in 1998 after Trout
Unlimited raised concerns that sediment from another washout could
threaten bull trout. The construction delay prompted numerous
attempts by shovel-wielding county-rights activists to rebuild the
Now, the Fish and Wildlife Service must weigh the
options in a forthcoming environmental impact statement on
rebuilding the road, before the Forest Service formally releases it
this fall.
"I don't think (critical habitat
designation) is going to make a significant difference with respect
to road options," says Bob Williams, the Fish and Wildlife
Service's state supervisor in Nevada. "The listing of the
critical habitat in and of itself does not stop anything."
Michael Garrity, executive director of Alliance for the
Wild Rockies, disagrees, pointing out that development projects in
critical habitat face a higher level of scrutiny before they can
proceed. Under the Endangered Species Act alone, "they just have to
show the species won't go extinct," Garrity says. "With
critical habitat, they have to show it won't hurt the

For race car drivers, the ultimate taste after winning the greatest spectacle in racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a cold drink of milk on Victory Lane. However, Kokomo, a racing town itself, celebrates the season of fast cars and warm weather with its own favorite tastes during the 19th Annual Greatest Spectacle in Tasting.
It's a tradition that started simply and grew for generations, as the owners of Soupley's wanted to give back to the community that raised them.
"We're a small, local family who started out here in Kokomo," Lisa Rayl, an owner of Soupley's, said. "We were born and raised here, we all went to school here and we wanted to give back."
Rayl said the event has made each of its 18 events better than the last. The celebration's 19th year will have everyone feeling like they're in Victory Lane, Rayl said.
"The Greatest Spectacle in Tasting started off as a wine tasting event. Then, we added the beer tasting and Rozzi's Catering has been with us the whole time," she said. "We have over 100 wines this year. ... We've included several higher-end wines. Some wines we included this year range from $80 to $96 a bottle in our stores. They will be a treat for people to try."
Rayl said the event's name was born from their family's love of the Indianapolis 500, which will be highlighted throughout the event.
"We're race fans, and Indy car race fans [specifically], so when we were trying to think of a name for the event, our love of racing came into it," Rayl said about her husband's idea for the name. "We'll also have a wine from A.J. Foyt. In the past, we've had wines from the Andretti family. A lot of the racers own vineyards and we carry their products in our stores."
Rayl, who heads up the wine tasting for the event, said there will be some wines that add a fizz to the festivities May 18.
"We'll have a lot of diverse wines; dry and sweet. But we will also have a lot more sparkling wines; that's a hot market. Plus, we'll have a lot of new releases with the dry wine blends. There will be a lot of new wines [we just started carrying in our stores]," Rayl said.
Rayl's husband and Soupley's owner, Kyle Rayl, said the event may offer dynamic tastes, but it's giving back to the community and helping Bona Vista that makes the event sweeter than its array of sparkling wines.
"We like giving back to the community. It's one of the things we do ... to be involved and give back to the people who support you," Kyle said. "The neat thing about doing it so many years is a lot of people help support it and they keep coming back each year to help us."
According to Kyle, the event raised $14,000 in 1995, its inaugural year, and has raised $550,000 in its 18 years. For the Rayls, time seems to speed by when you're having fun for a good cause.
"It doesn't seem like we've been doing it 19 years. It's gone by really fast and it's been a lot of fun," Kyle said. "It's a good event that people really enjoy and it's like a nice little street party where everyone gets together to start out their summer season and help Bona Vista. It's a very enjoyable evening out."
Kyle said the event is also host to a silent auction with items ranging from a tractor and vacations to a Jim Beam drum set. The band Loose Change will be on hand to provide the evening's sounds of fun and entertainment.
Brittnee Burton, director of development for Bona Vista, said Soupley's has been a cheerleader for the organization and motivated other businesses to do the same.
"For a local business to donate over half a million dollars to a nonprofit organization is quite the feat," Burton said. "Soupley's rallies support from their vendors, local businesses and donates so many items to make this event happen."
Burton said with the support of Soupley's and the kindness of the Kokomo community The Greatest Spectacle of Tasting is one of her busiest times — and she couldn't be happier.
"Soupley's works in conjunction with Bona Vista to make this an enjoyable event for the community and all the people who come out and support the event itself — without them the event would never happen," Burton said. "We have so many businesses that continue to jump on board with this event each year with a monetary or item donation. Most times my phone calls last about 30 seconds because the answer is always a 'yes' from our local supporters."
