CATEGORIES Trailers and Clips, Movies, Video, CinematicalA whole slew of trailers are popping up on the web this week. We got the full 'Captain America: The First Avenger' trailer last night, and now three more.
First up: Ace Ventura found his penguins!
His name is now Mr. Popper, as part of the classic children's book, and the animals have whittled down to a bunch of pesky penguins, but the goofiness remains. In this cinematic version of 'Mr. Popper's Penguins,' the man doesn't breed a whole bunch of them, but rather inherits some and watches them take over his life. This includes teaching them dance moves to the applicably chilly stylings of one Vanilla Ice.
Check it out for yourself after the jump, along with peeks into 'Last Night' and 'The Big Bang.'
Next up is Massy Tadjedin's 'Last Night.' After the sexy trailer last November, another has popped online (which hopefully means that a release date will be set soon). Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington star as a couple in a distant marriage who each face temptation over one night -- she with her past love who got away (Guillaume Canet), and he with his sexy co-worker (Eva Mendes). Check out our TIFF review and the new trailer below.
Last up, Antonio Banderas mixes science with overflowing machismo and bare boobs for Anchor Bay's new noir, 'The Big Bang.' He stars as a P.I. tasked with finding a Russian boxer's missing lady and the diamonds she's hiding. This leads him to encounter a melange of strange people, from James Van Der Beek's Hollywood action star with a secret, to a Snoop Dogg porn director, to a waitress (Autumn Reeser) with a fetish for particle physics, to a billionaire (Sam Elliot) eager to recreate the Big Bang.

An East Texas man says his Facebook account was frozen after a harmless comment. Dustin Ford of Longview says he was having a conversation last Thursday with a friend on the social networking site, but when he tried to log in the next day, he was not able to get into his account.
"We were having a debate and I tagged him out as "Baby Obama", likening him to a democrat," Ford says.
The tag was "seizing the day with Baby Obama," and it got his account frozen the next day.
"I clicked on the Facebook icon on my phone and it was shut down. I got on the desktop computer and got on there and it said my account has been frozen and made me read through rules and regulations as they said to get my account back in good standing," he says.
Ford is claiming censorship and constitutional violation.
"Our constitutional rights are being taken from us very slowly, however small this may be. I could understand if they wanted to censor something that could be viewed as violent, but this is not slamming the president. I was just likening my friend to a liberal. If you type the president's name, are you automatically flagged to be reviewed? There's something scary about that," Ford says.
At least one judge says Facebook is within its boundaries. Legally, it may be in the fine print.
"This is the first I've heard of this. Any contract any individual signs, they need to read the contract cover to cover. I do not feel it's a constitutional issue because this is a private or public company the service that is provided by that company is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions to use their service," says Justice of the Peace B. H. Jameson.
Ford got his account back, but worries about what something like this means.
"Who sits there and determines what can and can't be said? I don't feel they have any right when they're used as a platform for thought and speech to come in there and block and say I can't say something," says Ford.
Ford says he will not being using the status again.

I'm serious, and I like all kinds of music. This has enough meat to satisfy a variety of rock lovers. Man o man, this is good.For the biggest kick, try 'Cage Around the Sun'. The sample on this site doesn't do it justice, but that song turned up all the way will make dogs in your neighborhood run away. This is not only the best of Monster Magnet's albums (which range from incredibly good to 1 or 2 good songs in a set of 10), but it's definitely the best metal-ish album of my lifetime.The music is intense. Imagine music that drips and sits like oil and water, constantly writhing over itself with a perfect vocalist. The lyrics dance with danger, citing Greek gods, marine biology, casual drug references, and sexual fantasy. It makes you feel like a million dollars. They even cover a Hawkwind song.Big thumbs up, and I have big thumbs. If you're at all in doubt, buy it used and write to me if you don't like it. I'll convince you that you're wrong.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Dirty, black savage riffs come roaring out of the speaker. At times it seems as if Monster Magnet are trying to summon up El Diablo himself, as in 'Evil (Is Going On)', though they never fall into that gruesome abyss of Death Metal, so beloved by … like Deicide etc. In fact, they're capable of the odd deft tuneful touch and – gasp! – self-doubt on songs like 'Black Balloon', whilst the acoustic driven 'Cage Around The Cage' casts aside sharp sardonic observations before they erupt again. Unashamedly retro, using Sabbath, Hendrix and Twilight Zone rock, with a smattering of Eastern Promise, they nevertheless do their dark, druggy and abrasive thing like they mean it.
as others have pointed out this record is the bridge between Spine of God and all the other mm discs thru God says No. pschyadelia is in full effect here but over songs which sound like they were written in a chop shop behind a graveyard. Cage around the Sun in one of the best MM compositions ever. it sort of distills everything they're about, bridging creepily beautiful acid folk with '70s monster riffs. leader dave wyndorf sounds like he's having a blast being as comically over the top with the vocals as possible. all the songs are great, but rockers Face Down and Twin Earth are the full out treats, absolutely brilliant and decadent rock stuff. most people don't understand that monster magnet perform their music slightly tounge in cheek. once you get this, it's easy to get into how heavy and cool they are. superjudge, if you can deal with the slightly lo-fi production, is a classic.
This is probably my very favorite Magnet slab. The ever sickening "overproduction" mistake is not present on this album. If Monster Magnet is the space rock, stoner sound they claim, than this is a supernova of a fix. The super saturated fuzz guitars swirl, and wind around driving "groove" balanced bass lines. Cascading, dark drum fills and rythms pound out the platform for this psychedelic orgasm. Wyndorf's vocals don't overpower the music, but blend into this psycho-space stew like mushrooms in tea. Buy it, and prepare yourself accordingly!
'Superjudge' was Monster Magnet's second album as they were successfully achieving to bond together two genres,space rock and heavy metal.When I FIRST recieved this CD,I thought the band had one thing in common with artists like Warrior Soul,Voivod and Jane's Addiction in the way they had their very own signature sound.After my first listen to 'Superjudge',I thought MAYBE the group had a former member of Hawkwind with them.I looked at the info inside the CD's front cover and didn't feel all THAT silly when on my second listen,as I discovered they'd done a Hawkwind cover,mind you…of "Brainstorm".Keep in mind this was before I became a major Hawkfan.The other disc's ten cuts sort of reminded me of like a Jefferson Airplane-meets-Black Flag.However,it's noted that their main influences were Hawkwind,Stooges and Sabbath.I've seen Monster several times now and have even hung out with guitarist/vocalist/frontman Dave Wyndorf(who's a heck of a nice guy)twice now.The other tunes on this CD that had me nearly gasping for air were the gut-cruncher "Face Down","Cyclops Revolution",the raga popster "Black Balloon" and "Dinosaur Vacume".What a record!Highly recommended.

A 15-year-old was pulled from a burning truck in a single-vehicle accident that shut down a major road in Greenville on Thursday evening.
Tigerville Road at Bellevue Road closed after the truck struck a tree and caught fire after 5 p.m., according to North Greenville fire officials.
Officials at the scene said the truck also struck a power pole, which brought the lines down on top of the truck, catching it on fire.
Passers-by stopped and pulled the victim from the burning truck, officials said.
The victim was airlifted to Greenville Memorial Hospital with no life-threatening injuries, according to troopers. They said he was wearing his seatbelt.
Highway patrol said there are no charges at this time.

Mayor Setti Warren Provides Opening Welcome At The Boston Prostate Cancer Walk & 5k Sunday, September 15Th, 2013 PR Newswire BOSTON and NEWTON, Mass., Sept. 9, 2013 Just Days after President Barack Obama proclaims September as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, prostate cancer survivors and supporters join the Mayor of Newton as they walk and run to increase awareness for this important cause. BOSTON and NEWTON, Mass., Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Sunday, September 15, 2013, Meteorologist Harvey Leonard will join Mayor Setti Warren to MC the 2013 Boston Prostate Cancer Walk & 5K. WHY: Prostate Cancer is the most common major malignancy in the United States, striking as many as 1 in 6 men. Even though it is curable when detected early, prostate cancer is the second most lethal malignancy in men, killing an American man every 18 minutes in 2013. African American men are 60% more likely to be diagnosed and 250% more likely to die. And yet, current screening tools such as the PSA test has created such a considerable controversy that recently, major medical and government organizations recommended against its routine use. This situation has left men and their health care providers without a clear approach to early detection, which is critical for saving lives. WHAT: The goal of this year's Prostate Cancer Walk & 5K 2013 is to awareness of the current advances in prevention, diagnosis and treatment so that men, their caregivers and their physicians will be empowered to make informed and shared decisions on PSA screening and other health care options. Funds raised this year will support a statewide effort to create a state action plan to combat this preventable disease. The Dana Farber Cancer Institute will provide free counseling and screening at the event via the Blum Family Resource Van. EVENT: The event takes place at the Boston College, Chestnut Hill Campus. Parking is available at the Commonwealth Ave Garage on campus. Public transportation is available through Green Line at BC stop. Registration will open at 8:00 am at O'Neill Plaza next to the Campus Library. The opening ceremony will start at 8:45 am. The 5K Run will start at 9:00 am and the 1-mile walk will leave the starting line at 9:15 am. Closing ceremonies and award will be presented at 10:30. The Cancer Resource Foundation, Inc. coordinates the event and Alain Ferry of RaceMenu will manage the 5K Run. Collaborating organizations includes Race Against Cancer Events, the Massachusetts Prostate Cancer Coalition, the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, AdMeTech Foundation, the American Cancer Society, Us TOO International, and Boston College. Sponsors for the event include: Sanofi Oncology, Novartis, Stop & Shop, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Dendreon Corp., Polar Beverages, American Medical Systems, and Newman's Own Foundation. WHEN & WHERE: The Boston Prostate Cancer Walk & 5K event will be held on Sunday, September 15th at the Boston College Chestnut Hill Campus. For more information, visit www.bostonpcwalk.org or call 508-630-2242. Contact: Christina McCarthy, 508-630-2242 SOURCE Cancer Resource Foundation Website: www.bostonpcwalk.org

DANVILLE — The public is invited to a presentation at 1 p.m. Tuesday in the Danville Public Library community room, where they will learn the who, what and why of the 300-million-year-old fossilized rainforest near Danville.
The Danville Garden Club will host Scott Elrick, who's with the Illinois State Geological Survey Department at the University of Illinois, as a speaker for one of its regular meetings.
Elrick, who was part of the initial discovery of the forest in 2007, will present a whirlwind tour of this phenomenon with narrative and photos.
The petrified forest is found in the Herrin coal seam that runs through both the Vermilion Grove mine and the Riola mine in eastern Illinois.
Elrick described what it was like to be in the mine and look up at the forest. "It's the worm's-eye view," he said. "You're looking up at what the floor of the forest looked like."
Elrick pointed out that this is the world's largest intact petrified rain forest. At 4 square miles in area, its sheer size offers an unprecedented view of ancient forest life and diversity. "This forest is significantly bigger than others that were discovered in the past," Elrick said.
"Danville's petrified forest is unique because the encapsulated forest is intact on the roof of the mine, just like any forest that you would see today," he added. "We have learned so much about the variability of the plants and their relationship to each other."
The discovery process required repeated visits by geologists to the petrified forest since 2007.
"I want to particularly recognize Peabody Energy for their cooperation in allowing the Geological Survey to explore this area over the years, and for always keeping us safe during the process," Elrick said.
Five petrified forests in addition to the Danville one have been discovered by the international research team. These six tracts span a period of about 2 million years near the end of the Carboniferous period, 359 to 299 million years ago.

Jane also told the NOCCA kids about a lesson she learned when she was around their age. One time her mom was driving her to rehearsal for the Milliken Show, and there was traffic coming in from New Jersey. They finally got to rehearsal but Jane was five minutes late. She said that a man named "Tiny" (whom Jane said was HUGE) reprimanded her in no uncertain terms and told her that she should never, ever be late for anything. Jane said it was so effective (and traumatizing) that she is always on time for rehearsals, half hour, etc. I shall refrain from commenting on my own amazing reputation which involves many frantic text messages from people asking "Are you almost here!?!?!"
Right after Jane and I did our tech rehearsal, we filmed a promo for Disaster!. I sent Jane the Andrea Martin video and she came up with the concept for this one. So funny! It's most hilarious if you watch the Andrea Martin one first. Watch!
This week we start tech for Disaster!, but I'll still be able to do my "Chatterbox" on Thursday at 5 at Don't Tell Mama. The adorable Bobby Steggert from Big Fish is my guest and, speaking of Thursday, Unbroken Circle has a show that night at 7 PM! The final performance is Oct. 27 so get thee! Here's the page that has all the amazing review quotes and video clips.
Go enjoy the cool weather and peace out!

Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Freedom from Addiction
Using yoga to eliminate negative thought patterns has been a savior for Texan Terri Laird who celebrated her 11th year of sobriety this past Christmas. While she's only been practicing Kundalini Yoga for two years, this Los Angeles musician claims it has helped her maintain sobriety and shed other addictions like cigarettes, coffee, and antidepressants. "When I'm taking care of my body, mind, and spirit, I don't have to fill the void with substances," she says. "It also helps curb the power of the subconscious to fill my head with all those negative voices. I really believe that yoga has changed my brain chemistry."
Laird's instinct may be correct. Yoga can, in fact, alter brain neurology and help reduce cravings, anxiety, and fear�all responses that can lead to destructive behaviors. Roy King, Ph.D. and M.D., an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Stanford University, has studied the biological impact of yoga on drug abuse. He explains that a neurotransmitter called dopamine is elevated in the basal ganglia of the brain when drugs are introduced to the body and during other pleasurable states like sexual arousal and romantic love. One physiological reason addicts go back for more is that their brain begins to crave that dopamine surge even when they just think about drug use. King explains, though, that yoga and meditation may actually dampen dopamine activity in the basal ganglia. "This is the part of the brain that's involved with control over motivation and attraction," he says. "By inhibiting that dopamine impulse, yoga helps inhibit cravings and negative emotional states that trigger drug use."
King also points out that some forms of yoga, like Kundalini which emphasizes intense breathing patterns, may actually trigger endorphins and activate the body's natural pleasure producer. In fact, Kaur Khalsa was initially attracted to yoga after she heard Yogi Bhajan proclaim, "I'm going to teach you how to get high on your breath." "I thought that was great," recalls Kaur Khalsa. "Little by little the drugs fell off. I realized I was experiencing a kind of high, but it was natural." But when dealing with addicts who may suffer from deep-seated emotional and mental disorders, King warns that yoga teachers need to be cautious that students don't substitute one high for another.
The idea of a yoga community is also a compelling notion for addicts and their caregivers. From a behavioral standpoint, a significant way to overcome temptation is just staying away from people who use substances or from situations that prompt anxiety. "Yoga teachers tend to be calm, peaceful people with healing personalities," says Frederick. "Yoga class is a great place to observe quiet and inner strength. You also have a greater potential to make a healthy friendship than you would in a bar."
A yoga studio can offer addicts, who often turn to abuse because they feel alienated, a community of like-minded people. "Some people don't realize the ladder you have to climb to become sober," says Kaur Khalsa. She has observed that addicts (especially those who are newly sober) may get headaches or nausea, or their bodies may shake like jackhammers. That's why she's worked hard to create a safe haven at her yoga studio: She serves tea after class; music and chanting play a big role in her practice; and she even invites students to dine with her on Sunday nights.

Experience more than 40 of the best feature-length dramas, comedies, and documentaries from the world's best film festivals, including Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Toronto, and Berlin, all selected exclusively for Cinetopia by the Michigan Theater programming team.
Cinetopia will honor the rich world history of cinema artists and Michigan's proud legacy of outstanding screenwriters through special pre- and post-film events, including presentations, discussion panels, and Q&A sessions with directors, writers, and stars.
The Cinetopia Film Festival, started last year in Southeastern Michigan, just announced its most recent partnership with the Detroit Film Theatre. Cinetopia and the DTF, along with other venues in the area, will be showcasing over 40 films from Thursday, June 6 through Sunday, June 9.
One of the goals of this year's Cinetopia is to bring additional special content to every film at the festival, not just at the Altman Symposium.
"Our theme is 'Cinema Comes Alive,' which means getting our audiences to interact with each film in some meaningful way, whether it's participating in a Q&A with the actors and filmmakers, listening to a panel discussion by industry and academic experts, or sharing their thoughts with us and other festival-goers at a coffee shop or bar after the show," says Amanda Bynum, Festival Director.

Event Details
THE PROBLEM: Organizations that do not maintain frequently-changed, unique passwords for all of their privileged accounts face the threat of unauthorized users and malicious programs compromising just one password and gaining unrestricted access to resources throughout the network.
THE CONCERN: How safe are the servers, storage devices, and network appliances that host your data? At this moment can any administrator login to your systems, read and modify records, change device settings, install new code... and what else?
THE RISK: If there's a breach, will you know who is responsible? How will you track who did what to which system, and when? Without a method for managing the privileged identities for every system in your network, you're vulnerable.

Special Issue Information
The ocean covers three quarters of the surface of this planet, and is a major factor affecting conditions here. Life originated in the ocean, and continues because of the ocean's affects on climate. It is also important for transportation, recreation, and resources that include food and pharmaceuticals. Despite this, no one can argue that the ocean is well understood. Measurements are very difficult, and remote sensing will have to play an increasing role in all aspects of ocean science. Important sensors include optical imagers and acoustics on submsersibles and surface ships; LIDAR, radar, multi- and hyper-spectral imagers, and optical and microwave radiometers on aircraft; and optical and microwave imagers and radiometers on satellites. Inferred quantities include ocean surface winds, sea-surface temperature and salinity, sea surface height, ocean color, bathymetry, and distribution and abundance of biota. This special issue attempts to bring together a wide variety of papers on the sensor technology and applications of ocean remote sensing.

How She Played The Game
Ninety-one-year-old Natalie Cohen is one of a kind. She played competitive tennis for 73 years, winning 13 Georgia State Women's Open Doubles Championships. At age 42, she won both the Atlanta City and Georgia State women's singles and doubles championships, equivalent to the state's Grand Slam.

Putting It On The Line
In the 60 years I have been watching prep football, I never have seen a lineman as good as Gene Chandler. He was fast, quick, agile and a devastating tackler. He was so fast that when he snapped the ball on punts, he would beat the ball down field and patiently wait for the safety man to catch it. And then he would crash into him with such force that he would often cause a fumble.

Ames earns AMCC Player of the Week in women's basketball
Lake Erie College women's basketball player Renese Ames (Bedford, Ohio/Bedford) was named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Player of the Week for the week of January 28. The freshman guard earned the honor in the Storm's three-win week after averaging 17.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals per game. She led the team in total points with 52 and recorded 12 rebounds and nine steals as Lake Erie improved its winning streak to a program record six games and took over sole ownership of the second place standing in the AMCC with eight games remaining.
In a 74-64 win against Frostburg State, the 5-5 guard had 14 points, three assists, two steals and one block.
In a 60-49 win against Penn State-Behrend, Ames helped the Storm make up a 10-point second half deficit, scoring 13 of her team-high 21 points in the second period. For the game, she also recorded team-leading totals of five steals and nine field goals, including a 3-for-6 performance from three-point territory.
In a 78-64 win on the road against Pitt-Greensburg, she assisted the Storm in its second come-from-behind victory in the same week, scoring nine of her 17 points in the second half to help eliminate the team's 13-point halftime deficit. In the contest, she also totaled eight rebounds, two assists and two steals, while going a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line.
For the season, she ranks eighth in conference scoring at 13.9 points per game, which is the second highest among Storm players. She also checks in at number four in the AMCC in steals with 2.7 per game.
Her player of the week honor is only the seventh of its kind in the Storm's 11 years in the conference. It is the second honor received this season. Freshman forward Alyssa Wagers (Stow, Ohio/Stow) earned the honor during the week of Dec. 3, 2007. Prior to Wagers, a Storm player had not earned the accolade since Phylicia Chiappone (Painesville, Ohio/Lake Catholic) received it for the week of Feb. 16, 2004.

Dixie Heights cheerleading squad finished 8th in the nation this past weekend
at Disney World in Orlando.
On Thursday, their coach was fired.
Two weeks ago, the
dance team went to Richmond, Kentucky to compete for an event and afterwards, their coach was also fired.
in the Kenton County schools told FOX19 all school trips have to go through the
following procedures: If the trip is over 50 miles from school, if it's an overnight
trip, if it's out of state, in order for it to be a school sanctioned event, the
trip has to be put on the county's school board meeting agenda. It then has to
be heard at a board meeting, approved, and an administrator has to go with the
of those procedures happened with either team, according to sources, yet some of the
students even knew about them.
"We were told that if your event
was over 50 miles away, out of state or overnight, you had to get it approved by
the board, and we had never done that before," said dance team member Zoe
Becerra. "We were told that we had to get district buses, which we did for every
competition so the school was aware that we were going to a competition."
However, school
officials say a team can go as a recreational team and not be
affiliated with the school. That's what the parents we talked with thought
"We had to go independently because the school system has a rule
that says we have to have an administrator go with us if we go as Dixie Heights
High School," added Amy Miles, a parent of a cheerleader. "We were unable to
find an administrator to go, therefore, we were told we had to go as an
independent group which we believed we had done."
if you look on the website of the National High School Cheerleading Championships, it's clear the team was registered through the high school
under 'Medium Varsity Division I', and reads the team that finished in 8th
place is 'Dixie Heights High School'.
nonetheless are upset.
"They came together as a team in April. They've
worked since May for this one common goal," said one parent. "This is very,
very disheartening. And then to have the coaches fired on Senior Night is
probably the most traumatic thing to happen to these girls."

Crews in Toledo aren't the only ones preparing for this winter weather. Leaders in Defiance have a plan, too.
Mother Nature has not been kind the last few weeks, and she might not even be done yet. So crews in Defiance are working hard Tuesday, prepping for any winter storm on its way.
"We're putting a lot of liquid de-icing down today to try and get ahead of it," explained DJ Zeedyk, assistant service director in Defiance.
City service leaders say the work to keep roads safe begins long before the snow falls. On Tuesday, they're working on their trucks, making sure everything is up to par. Repairs are taken care of now so they don't have to worry about it later.
"We don't want to spend our plowing time doing repairs," said Zeedyk.
They're also filling trucks with salt and trying to determine the best way to use their limited supply.
"With the shortage that we have, we have enough salt to get through a couple storms, and hopefully that will get us through to spring," said Zeedyk.
If you live in a residential area, city leaders say they're planning on saving the salt for major roads, but will drive their plows through. Officials want to remind drivers to take it slow so they can do their job, after Mother Nature does hers.

Well they are trying but there is nothing so far that has any bite most people are keeping interest in.
For most cities downtown area is a hard pitch being it is M-F 8-5pm type of area, several cities I've lived in have tried, come 5pm people are ready for a mass exodus from the area. It is like telling kids on the last day of school to stay just two or three more hours after school.
As far a filming, one area of the family is in the film industry and made several successful movies in Austin. Hollywood studios want everything shipped and meetings done in CA, they had to toss in the towel in making Austin a movie hot spot and move to LA. So it is a huge struggle with Independent films financial wise, and people feel they are too "artsy" some are, but a lot are very good.

I'm one of those "don't go downtown" types that thinks it's too expensive. I'm not an artsy fartsy person. I'm the kind of person that watched Forrest Gump 3 years after it hit the theatre. I would pay $500.00 to golf at the right golf course. I think this film festival is a fine activity for those that like this kind of thing and would never try to stop anyone from attending.
My only problem is the fact that a free money trough was opened up for this kind of thing and after the trough closed, here comes the FFF trying to get free money. Now how many times do you think the city council would schedule a special meeting for jasonbourne? If you guessed "zero" you are all over it.March 24, 2012 at 11:10 a.m.
awesome! exactly what Victoria needs. you see, help sponsor a unique and fun event here and all the surrounding businesses will benefit, too. and it's nice to hear that the downtown businesses stayed open longer than their usual three hours.
but we haven't yet heard the usual cry of "it's too expensive!" from the people who don't ever go downtown (or go out at all) and so therefore think it's wasted money.March 24, 2012 at 3:37 a.m.
Well isn't that just great for downtown businesses!! Isn't there something else that can be done to assist them in their business endeavors?? Those poor downtown people, somebody should do more for them, I say.March 23, 2012 at 5:34 p.m.

Congrats on your retirement and your annex. Hard decision to retire if you have the right job. Easy decision if not.
The only thing better than retirement is grandkids, and, .... well this is a family site. But, in a few weeks time, you'll be like the old commercial, "you'll wonder where the yeller went" .. you'll wonder where the time went. Always, something going on after your retire and many folks wanting part or all of your free time. "Now that you're retired, can you ???

What started as a scrapbook collection of polaroids, ended in a pretty nice book. It tells the story of my life, the beauty of growing up, taking trips, and living out in Amsterdam, out of a suitcase.

What percentage of American citizens — even among
the candidates for next year's presidential elections,
for that matter – do you suppose has an inkling that
their Commander-in-Chief has been declaring "national
emergencies" to counter what he and his handlers regard
as the "threat"– get this! — "posed by the actions of certain persons to undermine Lebanon's legitimate and democratically elected government or democratic institutions, to contribute to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Lebanon, including through politically motivated violence and intimidation, to reassert Syrian control or contribute to Syrian interference in Lebanon or to infringe upon or undermine Lebanese sovereignty, contributing to political and economic instability in that country and the region," here quoting the August 1 letter instructing Congress about this latest decree (repeating virtually word-for-word the second paragraph of the actual decree)? Among the general public, maybe one or two percent, tops? And among the presidential candidates, maybe one-in-four or five? (If they're lucky.)
As a U.S. citizen, when your Commander-in-Chief tells you (or at least informs the Federal Register about it) that, "by the authority vested in [him] as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act…, the National Emergencies Act…, and Section 301 of title 3, United States Code," he has determined that "any person…to have taken, or to pose a significant risk of taking, actions…that have the purpose or effect of undermining Lebanon's democratic processes or institutions, contributing to the breakdown of the rule of law in Lebanon, supporting the reassertion of Syrian control or otherwise contributing to Syrian interference in Lebanon, or infringing upon or undermining Lebanese sovereignty," or "to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, such actions," do you even notice?
Besides, on what grounds do you suppose that "[s]uch actions" even could "constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States"? To the extent that territorial Lebanon covers a part of the surface of the planet earth at the eastern end of the Mediterannean Sea, the planet earth being roughly coterminous with the territory that rightly belongs to the manifest destiny of the United States to possess one day, even if the rest of the planet has been illegally occupied by foreigners for millennia?
After all, either Lebanon already is a sovereign member of the United Nations. Or it isn't. But if it is, then what's up with the Washington regime declaring the existence of national emergencies for the United States over events that may or may not transpire inside Lebanese territory?
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah wondered about this too. "Bush keeps on meddling in Lebanon's internal affairs…and no good will ever come out of the US administration," the Daily Star quoted Nasrallah having told "tens of thousands of his followers in Baalbak…during a ceremony commemorating the summer 2006 war and the Bekaa's role in that conflict."
"The US is imposing its policies on the region and this country," Nasrallah added, "and it is the one pushing for a civil war."
The Daily Star's report continued ("Nasrallah slams Bush for 'meddling' in Lebanon's affairs," Rym Ghazal, August 4):
In response to accusations that the party's alliance with Syria and Iran is causing problems in Lebanon, he dared "anyone" to bring evidence of "Hizbullah's dealing with Syria and Iran against Lebanon."
"Let us all depend on each other, and unite by forming a new government of national unity," he said.
He added that once a national unity government is formed, then all pending issues regarding the party's arms and a "national defense strategy" for Lebanon will be discussed with Hizbullah's full cooperation.
"Our party welcomes any dialogue regarding our weapons, as we are not willing to keep them forever," he said.
Nasrallah devoted a large portion of his speech to the Taif Accord, and called on the leaders to "fully implement it" and not just focus on the disarmament point. "You want the Taif? Then allow it to be implemented fully," said Nasrallah.
"Whatever happened to balanced development all across Lebanon?" asked Nasrallah, who accused "all governments" in Lebanon of neglecting the peripheries of the country.
"The North, South and Bekaa, have all been victims of negligence," he said. "The Bekaa is suffering from poverty not because of its political alliance, but due to a historic neglect of this area and its people."
"The mind set of the ruling state needs to be changed," he warned. "We need to change a state that is running this country as a bank, to a state that governs the country as a country." Just 48 hours before the onset of the highly competitive Metn by-election, Nasrallah defended the Free Patriotic Movement and its alliance with the party.
"FPM is being attacked for its support of the resistance … when the other Christian team has allied itself with groups that have massacred, displaced and destroyed homes of the Christians," he said, in apparent reference to the deadly battles in the Chouf area between Druze and Christians during the Civil War.
"We never held any Christian responsible for crimes committed against us," he added.
Nasrallah also saluted the Lebanese Army and their "courage" and blamed the US for the great losses in the army in the ongoing battle against the militants of Fatah al-Islam.
"The US left it up to the army to do their bidding in the area…leaving the sacrifices to be given up by the army,"he said. "Let me remind you, it was not Hizbullah who ambushed and killed troops up in the North."
"We want to protect the army and its unity for the sake of this country," said Nasrallah.
I've searched, and searched, and searched some more. As with most of this regime's unconstitutional decrees issued under the cover of "national emergencies" or some other form of special executive privilege alleged to be triggered by an "extraordinary threat," neither the June 28 nor the August 1 decrees received more than scant mentions in the U.S. news media — the June 28 decree slipping past in perhaps complete silence. (Recall also the July 17 "Executive Order: Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq.")
Aside from the mentions and PR-circulation that the two Lebanon-related decrees received in the regulatory reporting services (e.g., White House Press Releases, the Federal Register, the Regulatory Intelligence Database, and the like), I have been able to find reports on the one dated August 1 by Agence France Presse, Associated Press, Deutsche Presse-Agentur, Xinhua, the Washington Post, and the Daily Star – as well as a ferocious op-ed by the old Reagan era Justice Department lawyer Bruce Fein attacking these decrees on the pages of the Washington Times.
Far less reticent were the news media in Lebanon, all of which (i.e., at least that I could check) recognized, along with Sheik Nasrallah, the gravity and dangers posed by Washington's outlandish interference in Lebanon's internal affairs. In a wonderfully ironic commentary by Ra'uf Shahuri for the Beirut-based Al-Anwar newspaper (as translated from the Arabic by the BBC Worldwide Monitoring service), Shahuri wrote that the August 1 decree shows that the government of Lebanon's Prime Minister Fuad Siniora is now "part of U.S. national security."
The translation continues (all of the exclamation marks included):
Countries usually declare a state of national emergency when they are subjected to dangers that threaten their security, stability, sovereignty, and unity, or any of these elements independently. When President Bush declares a state of national emergency for the sake of Lebanon, he is insinuating by this that Lebanon has become part of the overseas US empire….What is really even stranger than all that is the binding executive decision issued by President Bush ordaining freezing the assets and deposits of any individual or organization that may be involved in activities leading to undermining the democratically elected legitimate Lebanese Government; thus he considers that toppling the government of Fuad Siniora represents an unconventional threat to US national security or foreign policy! Just like that, and very simply, the US President confirms that Siniora's government and all those supporting it are part of the national security and foreign policy of the United States!
This measure announced by Bush is part of the United States' general policy that is being executed by this administration all the way from Pakistan to Algeria and that is based on supporting one group against another inside the single country; this is what the United States is doing today in Iraq and what it has succeeded in doing in Palestine, and it is now Lebanon's turn!
You can say that again.

Floxy Akhuetie, International Student
Before leaving Nigeria to pursue her graduate degree, Floxy Akhuetie contacted the Queen's University International Centre (QUIC) to get more information about housing in Kingston. Hanna Stanbury, QUIC's promotion and volunteer coordinator, connected Ms Akhuetie with two community volunteer hosts with the QUIC Host Program who have guided her transition.
"Fortunately for me, Pastor Ade and Olu Sobanjo are originally from Nigeria. They were really nice and I could just tell them how I was feeling about adapting to life in Canada," says Ms Akhuetie, who is focused on environmental studies in Stephen Brown's laboratory.
The naturally gregarious international student initially struggled to get comfortable with the Canadian culture.
"In my country, people are very friendly, but Canadians keep more to themselves. I walked by people I just met and they didn't say hello even when I said hi," she says. "I almost cried but Pastor Ade and Ms Sobanjo calmed me down and explained that it was cultural and not personal. I am grateful that Ms Stanbury introduced me to them because otherwise it would have been more difficult to adjust."
Ms Akhuetie decided to give back to QUIC by offering temporary accommodations to incoming exchange students earlier this semester and representing QUIC at the School of Graduate Studies orientation.
Dr. Brown and Christy Dunkinson, senior microbiologist on the research team, eased Ms Akhuetie's transition as well. She gained valuable experience working in his lab over the summer and at ENDETEC, the water testing company based on his research.
Even though many of Ms Akhuetie's peers travelled to the United Kingdom for graduate studies, she wanted to follow a different path. The Canadian lifestyle appealed to her, and she found that Queen's fit her educational goals. Eventually, Ms Akhuetie would like to earn her PhD, and would weigh what Canada and Nigeria have to offer before deciding where to work.
Visit the QUIC website to learn more about the support and resources it offers to all members of the Queen's community.

Armed staff is now a reality at one East Texas school district. Union Grove Independent School District in Upshur County decided to allow staff members to carry weapons on campus. School officials say the decision to arm staff was made in response to recent shooting and threats directed towards schools across the nation. The signs are up on every campus, each saying the same thing: 'The staff at Union Grove ISD are armed.' Intended to be exactly what administrators hoped they'd be.
"Those signs are meant to be a deterrent, to anybody who may have ideas of something none of us want," says superintendent Brian Gray.
"I'm really pleased that Union Grove is one of the first to do this. Our kids need to be safe," says Diane Grabbs, whose son attends Union Grove schools.
"Faculty and teachers are comfortable with this you could walk through our halls wouldn't know no different. Its a very well-regulated program. Just a select number of staff members," Gray says.
District officials say that the selected staff is very well trained.
"Concealed handgun license, gone through psychological evaluations, hostage negotiation training as well as defensive tactical firearm training," Gray says.
Grabbs, like many parents , has talked to her son about the armed staff.
"I think most of the kids that I have talked to, they feel safer. We've talked about it at the dinner table, our whole family is for it," she says.
"If somebody comes into our campus and wants to do harm to our kids, we want that threat to be stopped as quickly as possible. People leave their most precious thing that they have in our charge every day. Our community supports it and they want us to protect their kids," says Gray.
Union Grove is the first East Texas school district to implement armed staff on its campuses.

Special Offer! Enjoy San Juan City and Dorado Ritz Carlton in a 5 Star Way August 1 - October 30
Recent Dorado Reviews
Beautiful House in Dorado!
My husband and I came to Puerto Rico for a family wedding and brought 7 of our friends with us to show them the island and let them experience Puerto Rico. This house was perfect for our stay! Having the 4 master bedrooms with attached bathrooms was perfect for all the couples and gave everyone their own space. This house is roomy and close to lots of local restaurants, shops (CVS, Walgreens, Supermax etc.) and the amazing Dorado beaches. The house also had tons of outdoor space to sit on the patio and sip a cubalibre while listening to the coqui frogs. The owner/manger Carlos was awesome to work with. He answered my emails and questions quickly and made sure I had all the information I needed. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in a luxury home away from home in the heart of Dorado :) We will for sure be back!
Moises' Villa
The owner's villa was clean and well maintained. The owner was nice and ewdy to help with any questions. The place was also safe because of the gated community and guard patrols. The kitchen was well equipped as well as the bathrooms, cooking supplies, dishes, towels, etc.... Beach was within walking distance. We loved the pool. We went to San Juan on a daily basis so we did not eat near the villa. The only place we went to near the villa was a beauty shop next to a Sally's Beauty store in front of a Burger King. DO NOT go there. In my opinion, the ladies did not know what they were doing and they charged an arm and a leg because the owner saw we were tourists. They quoted me a price before we sat down (2 children and I) and then they doubled it at the end. Paid $335.00 for simple hair styles for a wedding. Recommend villa but not shops around there.
perfect family vacation
Perfect blend of Ritz luxury and living in your own home. We had two families with 5 total children between 10 and 16. We stayed on the property for all but one day to the rain forest and there was never a boring moment. Even for the children. There was plenty of activities however not crowded or noisy and the resort staff and villa owners were sensational. It was a very peaceful relaxing vacation yet entertaining enough for kids, even 3 teenage girls. We would love to return to PR and if we do we would absolutely stay in in the same villa again
