I have a caravel and a scout and I am trying to get the scout on the caravel so he can explore a land mass across the ocean. I can't seem to figure out how to get him in the ship. Is this not possible in Civ 5 since the scout can ride in his own boat? Do I have to wait for a better ship than a caravel like a frigate?

Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Your scout can just move into the water and sail all by himself. It's called embarkation.
The ability to embark a unit into shallow water is unlocked by the optics technology. The Astronomy technology expands this ability by allowing units to also move across ocean tiles, not just shallow water.
Some notes:
You can't put units onto a ship in Civilization 5.
Instead, ALL land units can simply move into the water in order to "embark" and build their own transports.
However, while embarking, land units are completely defenseless and classified as civilian units, so you will want to escort them with the caravel.
Short answer: just move the scout into the water, then keep it near the caravel to keep it protected from any barbarians or enemy civs.

Disabled passenger stuck on bus until 3am
A 60 year old man in a wheelchair was accidentally left on a bus until almost 3am.
It appears the driver forgot the man was on his bus when he drove into the Stagecoach bus depot at Ardwick in Manchester to finish off his shift.
The driver was found by a cleaner, who called the police.

Not perfect - a 4 out of 5
By JamesJK
from Wisconsin
Comments about Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1" 16GB Wi-Fi Tablet featuring Android 4.2 - Gold/Brown:
This tablet is decent, but not perfect. It's easy to use, for sure. But I've discovered several bugs, or unintended "features," that would make me hesitate to purchase it again. First, the system will frequently update installed software (downloading updates and automatically installing those updates), and then run it automatically. Just today it updated the Chrome browser and restarted while I was in the middle of a task -- all WITHOUT ASKING me. I lost my work. Second, you cannot connect this via USB cable for simple file transfers. No, you have to download the buggy and slow Samsung Kies software, which is so "feature" rich that it becomes almost useless. The computer should be able to see the tablet as a simple USB mass storage device, but that apparently isn't what Samsung wants.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have been nothing but impressed since the purchase earlier today of this product. This sleek, fast, and easy to use tablet is impressive. I know exactly what the next 3 tablets are I'm buying for the holidays.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Tab 3 10.1 performance
By MrPCfixer
from Pittsburgh, PA
I use the Tab 3 for home/personal use and since I bought it 2 weeks ago I have been impressed with the speed performance. For the things that I have been using the Tab for, mainly web browsing and games, there has been no issues with he speed or the reaction of the touchscreen. The one thing that it does lack is a flash for the camera. This hasn't been much of an issue since I have a digital camera and my Galaxy S3 if I need to take pictures with a flash.
Galaxy Tab 3 is great!
By kpoulson
from Yakima, WA
I have only had it about 7 hours but I am loving it! It is so fast and clear! Having trouble finding a clear cover for it to protect it from fingerprints but it is working great. Easy to hook up with wi-fi and my email. You can't go wrong with this!
It is worth every penny

I love the Galaxy 3 10.1 the screen is a perfect size
Purchased my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 on Day 1
By Summest
from South Florida
I really like the look and feel. It acts like a bigger version of my new Galaxy S4. The display is sharp and responds quickly to my touch. I just wish there was better docmentation on tips and tricks. Also documentation on what accessories work with the new Tab 3 10.1. Will other Tab 10.1 accessories work with Tab 3 10.1?

We pick the top ten Top tools
Still Number 1: Top
Despite all the advantages of the programs we just looked at, the Linux Magazine jury's favorite is the legacy and legendary Unix tool Top by William LeFebvre and others.
Top is installed everywhere, it is comprehensively documented, and it gives you the more or less identical controls and behavior on any conceivable Unix and on BSD, Linux, many embedded systems, and Mac OS X. The tool, which has been an administrative evergreen since 1984, runs on mainframes, workstations, desktops, and clusters.
Version 3.7, or Beta 3.8 of unixtop, is available for download [15]. But who needs to download when your favorite distribution already includes the tool and even installs it as part of the minimal installation?
Administrators will be familiar with the various switches, options, and parameters. The man page fills several screens – again thanks to the number of operating systems Top supports.
Any Linux or Unix book that covers system administration provides at least a few pages on the essential Top utility. The original Top is still number one today, but the winner shouldn't get complacent: Talented newcomers – some of them specialists, others simply modern clones of the original – are getting closer to center stage. Htop, for instance, is shaping up nicely.

"Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you." - Langston Hughes There is a never a shortage of humor at the Thanksgiving Home, andAugust was no different.
Those of us who gather for the crossword puzzle challenge in the mornings laughed and giggled ourway into a new vocabulary!
Some of us learned words we had never heard before such as "cerise" (which is a shade of red, derived fromthe French for cherry); "shoat," which is a young, weaned pig; and "cloyed," whichmeans satisfied or satiated.
Hilde Parr, Martha Quinn, Wally Pickhardt, Lois Warrell, Patsy DeBaun and Sandy Brown amused each other by trying to use the new words throughout the day. August was also Opera Season here at the Home.
Many residents and staff, including Bill Bowes, PatsyDeBaun and Jan Scrafford, enjoyed "Annie Get Your Gun" and "Carmen". We are fortunate to have the opera house so close to us and took advantage of it.
This month our ecumenical service was a family affair. Sandy Brown's mother, Episcopal priest Marilyn Sanders, led the service and inspired us with a sermon about the hymn "Amazing Grace."
Jeanette Hansen, Hilde Parr, Martha Quinn, Ralph Veenema, Alberta Bowes, Patsy DeBaun, Lois Warrell, and Ireland Gable enjoyed Reverend Sanders' sermon as well as the beautiful music of Dottie Bly.
This month's birthdays included both bipeds and quadrupeds: Fannie Navarra, Sandy Brown, Joanne Burdick and Ginger the orange cat all celebrated their birthdays at the August birthday party with a delicious applesauce cake.
We husked corn together, and then enjoyed wonderful picnics with all our favorite foods. We also took every opportunity to savor ice cream at local shops as well as ice cream socials and make your own sundae events at the home.
We welcomed two new residents this month, Lois Warrell and Norma Wagner. They are both so gracious and personable that their presence makes our wonderful community even more vibrant!

Marina's Must-Haves: Warming Up and Keeping It Cool-------
Anyone who knows me knows that I get pretty excited about all things fashion, whether it's a shoe, a bag, a dress, or beyond. (I am a market director, after all!) I'm always looking for the next item, the next trend, or simply what I must have. From here on out, I'll be offering a regular rundown of what I'm crazy about, and sharing my wish list with you. Of course, we're excited to hear what you're crazy for, too, so please share your favorite new designers, trends, and products with us in the comments.
1. Now that I'm a mother of two, I've found myself carrying more and more things in my handbag. Chloé's Baylee bag looks professional and, thanks to its cross-body strap, is also a practical, hands-free weekend option. It's been on my wish list for a while, so I think it might be time to give in.
Chloé Baylee bag, $2,250, Buy it now
2. Thanks to Isabel Marant, we have all been wearing high-top wedges; thanks to Phoebe Philo, we've been addicted to slip-ons. Now comes Karl Lagerfeld, changing the high-fashion sneaker game with his Spring '14 couture trainers. After last week's Chanel Couture show, we all wanted to go back to the nineties. If you too were inspired by the runway and are looking for a (slightly more affordable) pair now, check out Lanvin's holographic kicks, which retail for $695.
Lanvin holographic leather sneakers, $695, Buy it now
3. By January, my skin is so dry, even with all the extra moisturizer I insist on using. I've found that fashion-friendly sweatshirts are softer on my skin than any cashmere. It's also been a uniform around the Style.com offices—everyone is wearing their sweats to work.
Être Cécile sweatshirt, $148.50, Buy it now
4. It's freaking cold in New York. It's never been this cold as long as I've lived here. That being said, a great snow boot is a necessity. O Jour's furry-lined pair is all I want to wear. Charlotte Casiraghi was spotted wearing them last week.
O Jour Red Hare boots, $1,070, Buy it now
5. While trying to decide who did the best job staying warm and looking chic during the Couture shows in Paris, Emmanuelle Alt stood out. Thanks to her, I'm now craving Isabel Marant Étoile's quilted kimono coat.

Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman met in 1970 and were married in 1982. Danny, 67 and Rhea, 64, have three children Lucy, 29, Grace, 27, and Jacob, 25.
A spokesperson for the pair confirmed the separation but declined to give any further details.
A source told RadarOnline.com: Rhea left him because he was always allegedly flirting with other women. "The break-up has been on the cards for a long time, probably over 10 years, because they haven't been happy for a long, long time."
The couple own a successful movie production company Jersey Films, with titles including Pulp Fiction to their credit.

West Virginia's congressional delegation has urged President Barack Obama to review and approve Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's request for federal disaster aid as a result of flooding from severe weather in mid-June.
Tomblin made his request July 9. The West Virginia delegation sent its letter June 11. The storms, which occurred from June 13-20, created damage in Doddridge, Gilmer, Harrison, Lewis, Mason and Roane counties that resulted in flooding, mudslides and landslides.
The delegation's letter stated that members are proud of the work already done by local citizens, first responders and National Guard troops.
"This extreme weather caused a path of destruction through communities that are home to some of West Virginia's most vulnerable citizens – the elderly, the disabled and those who live on a fixed income," the letter reads. "… We trust that you will do everything in your power to make sure that West Virginians receive the help they need and deserve."

Vermonters know about fires -- and they know about keeping warm.
At least that's what Paul Ralston is counting on with his new kindling company Vermont Sweet Maple.
After countless years of experimenting with different lengths and widths of kindling, Ralston found the perfect piece and knew he was on to something. He now sells boxes of maple kindling that cost around $10 and he says will start 15 to 20 fires.
"It's clean there's no bark no bugs no mold. its hypoallergenic fire wood," says Ralston.
Ralston says it's modern firewood, leaving little or no creosote in your chimney.
"That's been cut quartered and kiln dried to 6 percent," Ralston says. "It means its super dry. So it's hard maple that's been super-dried. It's about as dried as the furniture in your house."
Ralston says the type of wood you use to start a fire does matter, since it's the base of the fire.
"Hard wood kindling that's very dry lights very quickly but leaves strong long-lasting coals and that's what you need to light a good fire," he says.
Pieces of dry wood that burn quickly and efficiently. And there are some tricks to finding a good one.
"It's 10-inch long this is the size that allows you to make teepees or logcabins and get a good start on your fire," he says.
This Middlebury company started just over five months ago and is already selling to major chain grocery stores and gas stations. Its target market is the Northeast.
"It's really to take a Vermont natural resource and add more value to it, create better jobs and create better return for forest land owners and forest products workers," he says.
By next winter Vermont Sweet Maple will also be selling fire kits, charcoal and wood for commercial pizza ovens.
A growing business that's all made in Vermont.
Some exciting news for Sweet Maple Kindling. Otter Creek will be making a Vermont Imperial Ale which will be aged over the kindling.

If you're someone that struggles with meeting friends, you may find it easier with the help of some key people. These are folks who make friends (and acquaintances) easily, and can introduce you to more individuals.
The Ultimate Extrovert
While the majority of the population (60-75 percent) is extroverted to some degree, the type of person we're talking about here is the ultimate extrovert. This individual can walk up to almost anyone and strike up a conversation. If you spend an afternoon with them, you'll probably notice a few tips you can use to meet new friends yourself.
One thing the ultimate extrovert does really well is learn the names of people they meet. This might sound simple, but how often are you introduced to someone and then five minutes later you cannot remember their name? The Ultimate Extrovert has memorized their name and probably other details like their kid's names, birthday, and favorite ice cream flavor. The point is, pay attention because it will help you to connect.
The Party Organizer
Do you have a friend that seems to have frequent gatherings of some kind at their house? Perhaps they'll have a group over for cocktails, watch a TV show, or even just go for a dip in the pool. Their philosophy is "the more the merrier" and they love nothing better than entertaining a crowd. Having the Party Organizer in your friend list means you'll constantly meet a steady stream of new people.
The Mentor
Mentors exist for all different types of situations. They may be that person that has lived in your neighborhood for ages, the one at work who has experience to share, or someone you meet socially who has great advice and stories. They are quick to impart their wisdom, which often includes the right person to talk to at work or in your personal life.
These folks may or may not be friends with you personally, but either way they will connect you with plenty of other people. They enjoy sharing their knowledge and probably have touched more than one life over the years.
The Committee Person
This type of individual does not just attend meetings, they volunteer for things. You'll find them on several different committees which might range from PTA involvement to deciding what type of colors should go on their kid's soccer uniform. They like to get involved, and as a result they consistently meet new people.
The Committee Person is used to getting people involved, so when you meet them be prepared for a request on how you can help! But don't shy away from these folks, because their energy is infectious and you'll probably meet new friends just by joining one or two of their causes.
The Networker
People who are great at networking aren't necessarily extroverts, but they do share several traits in common, like remembering details about new people they meet. What sets these folks apart is that they are focused on someone's business needs. However, if you talk about the fact that you need to put a new roof on your house or find a babysitter, they will have a contact for you to call. These are good folks to know because the business contacts they have could wind up being personal friends of yours down the road.

Assistant Professor
I entered the field of composition and rhetoric as an undergraduate peer tutor in my college's writing center. My early tutoring experiences were formative in developing both my research interests and teaching methods, which center around the collaborative writing talk and affiliative relationship-building characteristic of writing centers (and of tutoring and peer mentoring, more broadly).
Today I study occasions of one-with-one writing talk—occasions that take place regularly in schools, workplaces, homes, and community sites. I am interested in the potential of this talk (and the relationship-building, writing, and revision involved) to bring about social change, or more equitable relations, for individuals and members of their social networks. I use conversation analysis (CA) to study in-the-moment interactions and take a mixed-method approach, tracing evolutions over time. I ask: what is the role of writing in social change, and how might we better cultivate conditions that bring about equity?
Much of my work—my research, teaching, professional service, and community involvement—is motivated by my commitment to equity in education. In my classroom teaching, this commitment manifests in a focus on inquiry-driven student research that reaches beyond the classroom walls to impact the campus and community. With students, I seek to understand the power of writing—and talk about and around writing—to facilitate personal and social transformations for writers and their communities.

News: "I Love Nicki Minaj & I'm Just Obsessed With Her"
Friday, Nov 4, 2011 11:50AM
Model Kate Upton has dished on her obsession with Young Money's Nicki Minaj and addressd past romance gossip connecting her to Grammy-winning rap star Kanye West.
Upton also said she considered hitting up a Halloween party this week dressed as Nicki.
"I love Nicki Minaj and I'm just obsessed with her. Let me look in my iPod. I like New Boyz "You Look Better With The Lights Off," I don't know what's the obsession with that one. I just really love anything that's on Top 40...I might end up going to a Halloween party, but all these Halloween parties are themed. Now I think I'm going to have to go as Nicki Minaj, now that you brought that up! [How did I deal with the Kanye dating rumors?] I know Kanye and we're friends. So I think that was a fine situation because I could laugh it off. But it doesn't really affect me. I just try to ignore it and then it's over." (Global Grind)
Leading up to Halloween, Nicki Minaj became Google's top searched costume.
The "Super Bass" rapper, who is known for her colorful wigs and wacky over-the-top outfits, is near the top of the list of most-searched Halloween costumes on Google. Only "Playboy Bunny", "Black Swan", and "Angry Birds" were searched more than the in-your-face rapper. There aren't many actual Nicki Minaj costumes - but plenty of websites and online video tutorials on how to be the rapper have been popping up. Minaj, who hails from Queens' Jamaica section and graduated from prestigious LaGuardia High School, beat out popular costume ideas like "Charlie Sheen," "Pan Am" and "Captain America" in Web searches. NickiMinajHalloweenCostume.com and NickiMinajCostume.com have more tips on transforming yourself into the rapper. (New York Daily News)
In May, Upton denied rumors claiming she was the mystery woman locking lips with Yeezy on a hotel balcony in France.
"Such a great week in LA now back to new York... No Cannes for me," she tweeted Monday (May 16).
"Hey I said I wasnt in Cannes come on that girl doesn't even look like me... I'm not with kanye" (Kate Upton's Twitter)
A day prior, reports connected Upton with Yeezy from a series of photos.
Kanye West has been linked to underwear model Kate Upton after it was revealed that it was she he was spotted kissing in Cannes, France this weekend. Paparazzi pictures showed the 'Runaway' rapper passionately kissing an unknown blonde girl. She has since been identified as 18 year old Kate Upton. Upton, who is fifteen years younger than Kanye (33), is a swimsuit and underwear model and was named Sports Illustrated's Rookie Of The Year for 2010. (Pop Dash)

Accepting President Barack Obama's invitation to lead the Invocation at the 57th Presidential Inauguration, Myrlie Evers-Williams made every moment count, praying for the men and women who have served our country, past and present.
"May their spirit infuse our being, to work together with respect, enabling us to continue to build this nation, and in doing so we send a message to the world that we are strong, fierce in our strength," she told the crowd gathered in Washington, D.C.
Myrlie Evers married Medgar Evers in 1951, 12 years before he was killed in the driveway of their Jackson home. Medgar Evers had fought for equality for minorities, and since his death, Myrlie has fought to continue his legacy.
In that spirit, she prayed that the nation and those living in it will move forward with equal rights in mind. She also prayed for the president's next four years.
"We ask that you grant our President the will to act courageously but cautiously when confronted with danger, and to act deliberately when challenged by adversity," she prayed.
Evers-Williams will be 80-years-old in March.
On Sunday, she visited the Arlington National Cemetery for a service at her late husband's grave site.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by haribobo, Apr 7, 2012.
my choice : Chan, Abbott, Kozuka
Chan, Takahashi & Joubert.
I wish it would be: Abbott, Kozuka, Takahashi, but I have a feeling it will end up being: Chan, Takahashi, Amodio.
I expect Abbott and Kozuka will suffer from lower PCS due to their disappointments at Worlds, no matter how they skate.
Can I have different skaters (whom I like too) who did not medal at Worlds medal at this event? If so, they are Kozuka, Brian and Jeremy (in no particular order).
Is this the official entries already?
The best part is that most of these guys are completely unpredictable. Of course what we can predict is that Chan will be on the podium, most likely he will win. The rest is an open case. Takahashi is my guess and then we have Kozuka, Joubert, Amodio. I somehow don't believe in Abbott.
My favorite is Jeremy Abbott. But my vote goes to the same skaters as yours.
Who was it that voted for Bacchini or Bush finishing on the podium? lol
The same person who voted for Maé Bérénice Méité in the Ladies' poll.
And, yes, he has a wonderful sense of humor.
Chan, Takahashi, Kozuka
poor Voronov has no votes
I picked the same.
I picked Chan (is there anyone that did not?), Takahashi (I still believe he is hit or miss) and Joubert (more for sentimental reasons than anything else).
Even though this is kind of a meaningless competition after worlds (at least to me), Jeremy has a great chance to redeem himself here. The skater he is likely to replace on the podium is Joubert, but he is capable of beating Takahashi too. He could beat Chan only if he skated two perfect programs and Chan had at least 6 mistakes total (SP+LP).
I picked Chan, Takahashi and Kozuka.
(love Abbott, but it's the end of the season, and he's never his best so late)
Chan, Takahashi, and Joubert, the first two almost a sure bet and probably Joubert in 3rd or even 2nd the way things have been going lately. If not Joubert, then Amodio but hopefully Joubert!
I think Chan, Takahashi, and Abbott. Abbott is due for another good competition and skating well he will easily beat Joubert and Kozuka (even if Kozuka himself has a better competition) and has capability to beat Takahashi as well.
My wish, Chan, Joubert and an unknown. Now that'd be AWESOME podium!
Here's hoping that Patrick has a marvelous skate at WT and breaks his own records . I sure do hope those of us in Canada will have some sort of "feed" to watch.
Considering Chan's record scores were set at Canadian Nationals when skating his best, the only place he has any hope to ever touch those scores again is Canadian Nationals.
If he skates at the same level anywhere as his National, he wouldn't need to be at home to have those scores.
You are delusional (not that this wasnt already evident about you) if you think ANY skater would receive the same scores as they do at their Nationals for the exact same performances, especialy at Canadians which have doled out a ridiculous 135 for Dube & Davison, 144 for Rochette, and numerous other absurd scores. I wont even bother getting into Chan's comical scores at Nationals over the years, especialy in 2009 and 2010 when he wasnt even the Worlds top skater yet.
Since the ISU doesn't recognize Nationals scores, wouldn't his records be from Worlds 2011?
^Good question, Proustable.
I think it will be Jeremy - Patrick - Brian.
He's not going anyway. He has an injury.
Kovtun is going instead now. More His Oilyness Kiss N' Cry action to look forward to now
so for Mororov in WTT
has I/K, Leonova, Amodio, C/L and Kovtun now
his Oilyness but maybe Leonova will rub her make up on his other cheek this time
Yes and from what I have seen he is very handsy with Kovtun. Should be interesting...
I voted for Patrick, Dai and Brian. But would not be suprised if Jeremy or Florent medal.
Chan, Takahashi, Amodio!
I voted for Abbott because he won't feel the pressure of the World Championships
That's what I was thinking. I believe that if Jeremy can finally skate to his full potential, he can overcome Patrick ......
( if Patrick assists him with a fall or 2. )
Now as for Daisuke, .... I'm not so sure.
It's a nice thought, but you have way more faith in the judging system than I do.
1.) That's a big IF
2.) Never going to happen
Jeremy is done as far as ever hoping for a World or Olympic Gold. He'll never beat Chan and not Hanyu or Takahashi if they skate well, even if he's perfect. So he has a slim chance of maybe getting a silver or bronze at Worlds/Olympics if he even makes it there, and those chances are very slim, honestly. Sadly I think Jeremy will retire having never won a World or Olympic medal...
Nope, I wasn't delusional. It's more like someone's hatred has blind their judgement (not that this wasn't already evident from you).
Chan's 2011 World, SP 93, LP 188
Chan's 2012 National, SP 101, LP 201
The difference for SP = 8 higher, LP = 13 higher at National
Chan's National LP was perfect. He had a step out of his 3A in his LP at World's. I'm taking a guess, 4 points difference there. At his National, he also changed his 4T+3T to 4T+2T, and then added a 3T combo at the 2nd half of his program, meaning he added additional bonus there (1-2 bonus?). With better CH, much improved artistry, better arm movements, stronger edges and speed, 4-6 points higher than last year is possible. So yes, if he skates as good as his Nationals, he will get the similar score else where.
So now Chan has much better artistry, speed, and choreography than he had last year.
Edited by Admin
I wouldn't say much better, but I do think he's improved his speed, that Aranjuez is a better piece of choreography than POTO and that he has stronger interpretative sense now. Is that a ridiculous point of view?
No that is reasonable. Jettasian as always was way over the top though.
Chan, Takahashi and Abbott, but I would love to see Kozuka rebound from his showing at worlds.
Yes, Chan has improved a lot in those areas. I'm glad the judges see them.

A pre-trial hearing took place Monday in Smith County for retired Tyler dentist Dr. Bobby Nichols.
No plea agreement was made, but his trial date was set for November 26, 2012.
Nichols' defense attorney has a conflict with that date due to involvement in another trial on that date, so it is likely that Nichols' trial will ultimately occur on another as yet unknown date.
We will update with more information as the situation progresses with Dr. Nichols and his legal team.
Nichols was charged with killing his wife, Rosalind Nichols, on June 29, 2012.
Dr. Bobby Nichols was previously released on $750,000 surety bond on July 3, 2012.

Chris Columbus Talks Harry Potter Comparisons to "Percy Jackson" Film in New InterviewColumbus
You probably had to think long and hard about doing Percy Jackson since it at least echoed your prior work on the Potter films. So why this? Why direct another epic adventure-fantasy film?
"I had to be really intrigued by the story, and I was. When I read it ("it" being the first of the Percy Jackson books by author Rick Riordan), I'd never seen anything like it. You've got the creatures and the stories of Greek mythology all intertwined with modern American society. I thought, "Wow, that's a cool idea for a movie." So I felt that I'd be willing to throw two years of my life into the project. It was also an opportunity to introduce the world of Greek mythology to kids in a way that doesn't feel like a history lesson. It's a very, very fun concept."
How often did you catch yourself on the Percy Jackson set saying, "Nope, did that on Potter. Can't do it again."?
"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. To a certain extent, if I felt there were any similarities -- because people always ask the question -- I really, really tried hard to remove them from the film. I didn't really want the comparisons, but the comparisons, when you're doing anything in the fantasy genre, are inevitable. Every time I saw a bit of a pitfall we'd move away from it."The interview continues with discussion about the advances in special effects since directing the Harry Potter films, as well as what it has been like seeing the young actors grow. He says: "Every time I see a Potter film it's always bittersweet for me. I'm seeing them here in America, knowing that they're being done in England, and I'm seeing these kids I know (Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, all of whom he helped cast) grow up and turn into really wonderful actors. So it's an odd thing. I was so close to them, with the cast and the crew. I saw the last Potter film right here, at this theater, and I felt like a distant parent who hasn't seen his kids in a while."

State officials say an announcement regarding the completion of upgrading U.S. 35 is premature.
A Putnam County commissioner announced Tuesday during a commission meeting that work on the project could begin next year. Media outlets reported that Commissioner Andy Skidmore said the project would be funded through a public-private partnership.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Department of Transportation spokeswoman Brent Walker later said the Division of Highways hasn't yet identified candidate projects for this type of funding.
Walker says the state doesn't have a plan or funding source in place for the U.S. 35 project.
The DOT wants to upgrade a 14.6-mile stretch of U.S. 35 in Putnam and Mason counties to four lanes.
Skidmore says he's confident the project will be eligible for public-private partnership funding.

Hawaii Five-0
Friday, CBS/Global
One Friday-night staple ends the season and will return in the fall.
Another Friday-night staple ends its season — but will return with an entirely new season next month. Welcome to network TV in the digital age.
Hawaii Five-0 makes TV history of a kind because it has thrived on Friday nights. Not so long ago, Friday was a TV graveyard, where good and not-so-good shows went to die.
The reinvented Five-0 will mark its 100th episode in November, fresh on the heels of one of its more death-defying, stunt-filled seasons.
The season ender, Family Comes First, finds Capt. Lou Grover (Chi McBride) fretting over the kidnapping of his daughter at the hands of an old nemesis.
McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) and Danno Williams (Scott Caan) vow to see that justice is done.
As it's the season finale, though, justice may have to wait for a while: A cliffhanger ending is likely.
Nick Jonas returns as shady computer hacker Ian Wright, last seen evading the team's clutches in an episode last November. Be there. Aloha.
Also Watch
As TV drama, Unforgettable isn't that exactly, but it will neither die nor fade away, it seems.
Unforgettable ends its second season with Det. Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) revisiting her teenage memories after a former classmate is murdered at her school reunion.
Sometimes having a photographic memory is more burden than blessing.
Unforgettable has had a strange journey, even by TV standards. More than a year passed between its first and second seasons, and it seemed for a moment there as if it wouldn't return at all.
Now, as it ends its second season, a third season is already in the works, to start June 29th. The weird just got weirder. (CTV Two, CBS)

So heres my post on the BORDER FENCE, [cue dramatic music.] So because of the escalating violence happening all along the border of the US/MEXICO border, and because of the debate on the Border Fence being waged by Bush's Homeland Security, there has been a greater emphasis in my town about the fence being built as we speak.
I have always been against the fence. But after reading and looking at some pictures, my stance is no longer as strong as I thought it was. I think most progressives have been against the fence being built but after seeing some pictures and video maybe your view will be changed a little too. I have always thought the fence was so `un-American' because it symbolized oppression and division; after all in the 80's we fought hard to tear down walls in other countries and I thought it was so hypocritical of us to want to build one right in our own backyard.
Why would I change my mind?

SO, I didn't want to ruin the love fest out there, which I must admit that I do enjoy and is super fun, but I couldn't resist. I stumbled, okay not stumbled, upon a little tidbit of information right now. [disclaimer: some may have already heard, but seeing as Im the last to know, Im gonna post it anyways]
A few weeks back, I joined BarackObama.com. More for being in the know and less of a declaration of my support. I decided it would be good for networking and hell it couldn't hurt. So when I did join, I was automatically put on a magic list where my local peeps started emailing me about the Texas Democratic Convention and all the hubabub going on in MyTown, USA.
Today they sent me an interesting piece of info...

This is a message from Hillary CLinton brought to you by me. I just wanted to show you guys that have doubt, that are thinking this is going to the convention, what the tone is right now.
I am thinking that this, the letter, sounds really appreciative and it leads me to believe that she is going to make a concession within the week, after gauging her supporters tonight.Hopefully, this comes as good news to all those Obama supporters who are bent out of shape because Hillary "Santa Claus" Clinton didn't deliver them their concession present tonight. I am going to echo my best StudentGuy: Be patient and be understanding. This isn't gonna happen over night and it certainly wont be painless.
Its gonna take time but I dont think its impossible. To my fellow Clinton supporters: I salute you. I salute you because it hasn't always been easy to be a Clinton supporter, we have faced a lot of hatred, name calling, and adversity and at the end of the day we all realize that we (BO supporters and HRC supporters) want the same thing: Change. We want change in America, whether it be UHC or the ending of the iraq war.

Why should the Democratic Nominee care?
I decided to make a diary solely based on recognizing, and examining some factsheets and statistics out there concerning my all time favorite demographic: HISPANICS. Low and behold, the Hispanic Pew Center does some amazing work and I reference their work for the purpose of trying to help bring more attention to the Hispanic/Latino community.

The name "Italy" is shrouded in mystery; some etymologists trace it to a Greek word meaning "the land of young cattle."
Italy was fond of Jupiter and Mars from the very start, Jupiter for fatherly good luck and Mars for war!
But it all began with Rome. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus who were sons of Rhea and Mars.
The twins were abandoned at birth out of a fear that they would grow up and later overthrow Amelius, usurper of their grandfather's rightful throne.
Wrongful mis-doings most foul! Treachery and sabotage!! HOW would these two blessed infants make their way in such a world?
As it turns out, the twins didn't have to make their way very far, because one of them killed the other one and then they weren't twins anymore. But that happens later.
First they got rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them with her milk and raised them as her own until they were discovered by the shepherd Faustulus.
Faustulus fed them meat and bread and also raised them as his own until they were old enough to return to Amelius and hack him up as planned. They reinstated the grandfather Numitor to his rightful throne and went off to celebrate by starting a town of their own.
They chose a hilly area where the mama wolf had saved them from certain death in the barren wilderness and began scouting locations.
Romulus liked one hill. Remus liked another. The circle of crows like Romulus' hill, so Romulus killed Remus and named the town after himself. Thus Rome was born and Italy with it.

On Saturday, the Netherlands lost their friendly to Bulgaria 2-1, courtesy of a penalty and a last minute goal. This time around, Holland managed to beat Slovakia, but once again, the weaknesses in the Dutch side were exposed. Considering the repre haven't won a competitive match since last June, against Andorra, and Holland lost just once in Euro qualifying, Oranje supporters likely thought the friendly match in Rotterdam on Wednesday night would be an easy affair. But the 2-0 scoreline is deceptive: the first goal was an own goal by Kornel Salata, and it took until the 75th minute for Rafael Van Der Vaart to score the second.
The match started off well for the Slovaks, with captain Marek Hamsik sending a header off the bar in the early minutes. But shortly after, their defence disintegrated. Ibrahim Afellay got in behind Peter Pekarik, who failed to get the ball to safety. Salata attempted a clearance but instead knocked the ball past his own goalkeeper, Jan Mucha.
Slovakia didn't do themselves any favors later in the half, particularly when a sloppy backpass allowed the visitors a free kick just seven yards out from goal. Hamsik sent it short to Miroslav Stoch, who blasted what should have been an easy goal right into the side netting. But a stronger, or perhaps less experimental, side could have done some damage to the Dutch. Holland's defensive play left much to be desired, with both Gregory Van Der Wiel and John Heitinga making sloppy mistakes.
It was only in the last twenty minutes or so that Holland started to show their strength -- and the greater their attack, the less their defensive errors seemed to matter. The goal from Van Der Vaart showed the oranje at their best, as the attackers weaved through the Slovakia defence. With two defenders doing their best to stop Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Van Der Vaart was able to slip through, grab the ball, and drive it into the far corner of the net.
And so a win for Holland, this time, but not one that gives a lot of confidence to Netherlands supporters. They're very aware that not only does the group contain both Portugal, who could surprise, and Denmark, whom many feel will surprise, but their most mortal football enemies, Germany. Barring a much better performance against Northern Ireland at the weekend, June 9th will likely have many in Holland biting their orange-painted nails.

Press Peeks into J.K. Rowling's Back Yard, Sees Hagrid, Gets It WrongJ.K. Rowling
There's a pretty hilarious article going around from the Daily Mail that posits that J.K. Rowling is building Hagrid's Hut in the yard of her Edinburgh home. It claims the author is constructing a "lodge" that will sit at the bottom of her gardens that will mirror the hut we've seen in the films, with a conical roof, a spire, a chimney and stone steps up to the door.
While it is true she has submitted plans for the building of a garden house in her yard, which will match the style of her home and happens to have a conical roof, there isn't any intent to make it match Hagrid's hut (which is actually wooden as per the books, not stone as in the films).
Stay tuned to Leaky for more info on Jo's architectural adventures, including her plans to build a full scale Hogwarts on the grounds of Buckingham Palace; the functioning Hog's Head pub being readied for her private use on the Royal Mile, and, of course, her very own Room of Requirement, which will appear now and then inside her Edinburgh home and serve coffee, biscuits and writing inspiration on demand. We'll bring you the scoop!
(Just in case it needs saying, which we know from experience it does: The above paragraph is a joke and should not be mistaken for anything resembling truth.)

Annexe Playgroup in Corringham could close before the end of the school year if vital funds aren't found
1:00pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News
A PLAYGROUP could be forced to temporarily close before the end of this academic year, if vital funds cannot be raised.
The Annexe Playgroup, in Springhouse Road, Corringham, is run as a charity, but will come under new management in September.
An emergency committee, set up in December, found deficits of £2,000 in the school accounts, which could force it to close before the end of the school year.
The play group has 31 children and seven staff.
Officials from the group say the months lost between Easter and summer would be vital in the continued development of youngsters heading to nursery in September.
The group is now pleading for donations as well as setting up fundraising events over the coming weeks, including a family disco on March 14.
Emma Reed, the committee chair, said: "It's a desperate situation at the moment to keep it all going.
"We raised £30 last week during an adopt-a-bear morning just to get some funds in."
Gina Rawlinson, who took over the nursery in the November, is looking forward to the move to bigger premises.
She said: "By going next door it'll be a smooth transition.
"There's so much more we can do once we're in there. Currently, we can only open for two full days, but in there we can open all week."
Call the group on 07817 199385, if you can help with fundraising.

Poured a hazy copper with a tight one finger head that left a nice sheet of lace as it settled leaving a creamy mass on top,quite floral and fruity on the nose with a touch of herb.The six pack was old best before 09-05 and it showed but the flavors were still pretty nice more English accented lightly sweet bready malts up front with a soft herbal,grassy hop finish.I had lower expectations about this beer but it wasnt bad and Iam sure a fresher bottle would have really shown its flavors more.

12oz bottle. Very hazy dirty peach, with caramel hues. Frothy white head with a respectable lace and hold.
Doughy aroma, sweet breads, and a nose full of soft floral and hints of perfume.
Malty and bready, with plenty of yeast notes and grain tannins. Bitterness pokes through with a light prickle on the palate with some citric, which blends well with a subdued berry-like character and sweetness. Plenty of floral character. Body is a bit thin, with a watery foundation that seems to dull some of the flavors. Hint of soapiness. Bitty mouthfeel in the finish, with overpowering grain tannins.
Average at best, this Pale Ale would still make a nice crossover beer for those not used to flavor.

The Pick Axe Pale Ale poured a yellow-orange with a smallish, yet fine head that dissipated to a thin topper. The aroma was hoppy with some fruit and yeast tones to it. It has a pretty bland, slightly fruity initial taste, with a hoppy finish and aftertaste. Pretty mild taste, but smooth and drinkable. Overall, a pretty average pale ale - probably not as hoppy as most.

Presentation: 12 oz brown bottle with a blurb about the beer on the back label ... the "enjoy with the first four months of date" is cleary notched.
Appearance: Copper hued with a beautiful white lace crowning the top.
Smell: Fresh hop oil from the dryhopping with vague malt and fruit.
Taste: Very smooth with a moderatly sized medium body, lots of hop character. More fresh hop flavour than hop bitterness ... all of this seem to dominate the palate. Sweet hoppy oils with a soft bitterness in the middle ... some juciy fruit also. Sweet tea like finish with hints of grain.
Notes: Freshly squeezed hop juice anyone? If you are not a hophead don't even bother with this brew ... though if you do love hops with will give you your daily recomened dosage.

This bottle is almost a year past the freshness date. Pours a slightly hazed, copper amber body with a moderate, ivory head that hangs around several minutes. Considerable lacing patches the sides of the glass.
Pale and caramel malt aromas up front with a very fruity, hops presence of apples and oranges.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a bigtime, hops zing on the tongue.
Taste is nicely complex. Robust orange and green apple flavors lead a nice parade of hop flavors. Plenty of malty balance that is mostly caramel, underneath. Overall, a very tasty ale.
The label claims that noble hops are used to brew this ale. Though I didn't notice any pine or grapefruit, this ale seems to be a hybrid between an American and British pale ale. Very likeable, and has held up extremely well considering that it is 11 months past the freshness date notched on the label.

So all of a sudden what seems like the entire Tommyknocker line of brews is available in bobbles and Pick Axe for growler in NY state.
Yorktown Beverage filled my growler for $12.99.
Pours near clear, typical almond amber, moderate lite tan head, super tiny bubble film, leaves nice looking fine lace and mini sheets of the real fine stuff, a marker IMHO of quality brewing.
Pine infused hoppy nose.
Tasty and easy drinking, something about IPA from Colorado and points west! Tastes fresh and clearly "in good shape" after the trip. Ample hop presence, more pine then citrus, but some grapefruit picked up. Caramel malts provide the balance.
Nothing amazing, just quality IPA is what I've got in my glass.
Looking forward to trying some others in the line, looks like only in bottles currently however...

Appearance: ¾ inch head, dark gold in color, cloudy, high carbonation
Smell: pineapple and toasted malt
Taste: pineapple, floral hops, and toasted malt
Mouthfeel: moderate carbonation, medium-light bodied, very sweet start with a bitter end and aftertaste
Overall: An enjoyable pale ale. I like the way the hops and malt combine in this one. Not a stellar APA, but one I could certainly have several pints of.

Appearance: Cloudy , deep auburn /orange , with an inch of foam that sticks around at 1/4 inch , nice lacing.
Smell: Citric hop aroma , some Dole fruit Cup scent , and a nice maltiness.
Taste: Pleasant citrus flavors , grapefruit , slight pear, good hoppiness , some nice balancing maltiness , focus on tasty citric hop flavors.
Mouthfeel: moderate to slightly dry.
Drinkability: A very drinkable EPA that reminds me more of a west coast APA. I really like the non-harsh grapefruit taste and other citric hop qualities. Give er a try!

Poured into tulip; lovely IPA color, translucent orange-yellow, with a thin white head that leaves rings of delicate lacing.
Smell is slightly metallic, clean crackery malt, with a dash of hops. Probably a pretty old bottle, not much hop aroma. There are light hints of floral, grassy, and fruity hops.
Taste is about the same; clean malt and faded hops. I don't get much beyond a grassy bitterness, but there are slight hints of citrus rind and fruit.
Mouthfeel is well-carbonated and thin, good for the style.
Overall I'd prefer more hop flavor, but it was probably an old bottle so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Dark yellow beer, average head, appearance. Lacking hop aroma.
Taste, a little bit of caramel corn sans sweetness, lacking hops, bitterness is all it had to show for hop department. Thin body, soapiness sets in the mouthfeel. Every component is either watered down, missing or negative. Really, a bitterness and offputting sour (not the good kind) aspect, leads to a less than desireable beer for the most part.
Another blast from the past, I first came across Tommycocknockers back in the 90s.

Part of a six beer sample pack...
Clearish (not totally) amber appearance, generates a pillowy 1/2 inch head of foam. Nice dense sheets of alcing. Hops sneak into the aroma fairly well, citrus tones with a touch of over-ripe cheese. Medium body, carbonation is pretty well-done for the body, highlights the main profile about right. Starts with a hop tang, on the juicy side with an American hop signature and re-inforced by the aroma. No real fade in flavors, finishes as it starts but with a pretty hard-to-pick-up malt backbone overall. Not a real standout but not shy on the bitterness. Well, after trying six of these Tommyknocker beers, the Doppelbosk registers the most for me as a signature and flavorful beer.

Slightly hazed copper hue with a bright off white head forming thick. Scattered speckled lacing down the sides of my chalice. Aroma has some grapefruit/mild pine tones going on in the nose. Flavor has a mineral metallic hoppy edge going on, sweet caramel backing malts blend nicely. Mouthfeel is medium boded slightly resinous citrus tones combine to make the palate pucker a bit. Carbonation is smooth nothing off setting or harsh goes down pretty easy. Drinkability is okay not my favorite APA but definitely a beer that I could contend with and drink a couple if no other more interesting options are available.

12 oz bottle dated May 2011 served in a pint glass.
Pours a hazy orange-amber with a medium dense off-white head. Leaves a good bit of lacing on the glass. Small amount of sediment on the bottom of the bottle.
Citrus, mainly as in orange juice, and some nice sweet malt. Smells tasty.
Taste - fruity hops, and lots of them, yet not very bitter. Initial sensation is remarkably similar to orange juice, although without the tartness. Citra hops? The beer makes a nice quick transition from sweet to bitter. Aftertaste is more bitter and hoppy, but true to APA style.
M - medium body; carbonation is also about medium; semi-dry finish.
O - This is an above average beer from Tommyknocker, based on the 1/2 dozen or so I've tried previously. Easy recommendation for fans of Citra hops.
{NOTE: Brewer's website show Pick Axe with a new label and classification: IPA. This one had the older APA label.}

( Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a clear light pale brown body with a gentle carbonation and a huge rocky off-white head. The head sat way above the rim of the glass
S- This beer had strong green floral hop aromas with a gentle light caramel malt hint.
T- The taste of pale fresh malt with a light caramel malt finished with a gentle hop bitterness. It was smooth and well balanced
M- This had a medium body but a bit of a watery mouthfeel. No alcohol warmth or astringency
D-This was a nice gentle pale ale that was well balanced and very nice to sip on the 96 degree summer day.

12oz. brown bottle, purchased at Jungle Jim's, poured into a pint. Dated November 2006.
A: Pours a deep glowing amber with nice clouding. 1 finger of white head forms and has some stay. Some patchy lacing down the sides.
S: Pleasantly malty for a Pale Ale. Bits of caramel along with lightly toasted grains. Hops are definitely of the English variety and add a mellow orange citrus and leafy hop aroma.
T/M: The bitterness is actually more sour and tart. Earthy, leafy hops. Malts are even more profound than the nose suggests and nearly blocks everything else out. Body is medium and carbonation is mild.
D: Tommyknocker has yet to impress me, unfortunately.
