After I shed the initial 5-7 pounds, I stopped losing weight. Lately, I've been eating more, and more often, including more carbs and fats. …And I've been dropping pounds again. So weird.

Next week, I will travel to Istanbul, Turkey to lead the U.S. delegation to the 9th Annual Internet Governance Forum (IGF). This year, more than 3,000 participants from all continents representing different stakeholder groups -- governments, private sector, civil society, technical community and academia -- will attend the IGF.
Why will so many government officials, CEOs, and Internet scholars devote one week of their time to attend the IGF? The answer is clear: they all care about the Internet's future, and the IGF is the premier international meeting to discuss that topic.
Across the world, people's lives are improved by the Internet. Farmers in Kenya use mobile services, like DrumNet, to compare prices for their produce at a range of locations and are now earning 33-40 percent more for their crops. These services offer an essential tool to farmers -- access to information. Today, students everywhere are also benefiting through free online education services. One website, Coursera, offers hundreds of free courses, partners with top universities and colleges, and has more than nine million users -- 65 percent of which are outside the United States.
My message at the IGF is twofold: first, the Internet has proven to be a tremendous force for economic and social empowerment and, second, we have a shared responsibility to adopt policies and practices to ensure the Internet's continued growth. We should not take the Internet's growth for granted; instead, I will urge the international community to redouble its efforts to ensure the Internet's continued expansion.
The Internet has become a platform for economic growth as fundamental as highways, power grids and universities. A 2012 report projects that by 2016, the Internet economy will reach $4.2 trillion in the G-20 economies alone. And, developing countries are experiencing faster rates of growth than developed countries. The Internet economy contributes 5 to 9 percent to total economic growth in developed markets; and, in developing markets, the Internet economy is growing at 15 to 25 percent per year. With Internet growth shifting to the developing world, developing and emerging market countries have enormous potential to benefit further from the Internet.
Given the Internet's positive impact on economic growth, it is vital that all stakeholders adopt policies and practices to ensure improved access to and continued innovation on the Internet. We have a shared responsibility to promote everyone's access to broadband. We have a shared responsibility to strengthen the free flow of information. And, we have the shared responsibility to prevent misuse of the Internet, whether that's cyber-attacks or identity theft.
In Istanbul, I will reiterate these messages and call on the IGF community to address these shared challenges in a broad, creative, and collaborative manner. The IGF is the premier venue to discuss the Internet's future. As such, the IGF community is uniquely situated to respond to these challenges and develop best practices for strengthening the Internet.
As the State Department's Senior Coordinator for International Information Technology Diplomacy, I am excited about the opportunity to engage governments, industry, and civil society at this year's IGF. The Internet has been remarkably successful but also faces certain challenges as we work to bring the next 3 billion people online. Our focus should be on solving real problems through the multi-stakeholder processes that underpins the Internet's success. Let's remember that the Internet belongs to everyone -- let's keep it open.

- Wonderful Meal!MCSB28117Dined on 8/9/2014We tried this restaurant based on positive recommendations on Open Table - we were not disappointed! Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful bottle of wine (Oregon pinot noir), the bread and dipping oil were amazing and the filet mignon was delicious, with a very flavorful sauce. My husband had the seafood chowder and sea scallops, both of which he really enjoyed. At first the shades were down to block the setting sun, but once the shades were up we enjoyed a nice view of the harbor. The restaurant definitely has a cozy, comfortable feel - nice enough for a special event, but also relaxed enough that we didn't feel out of place in our casual clothes. If we are ever back in Olympia, we will definitely go again!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014I have been there twice now, and both times the food was way better than average nice resturant. I will make this one of my first choice resturants.Special Features:

- Pleasant surpriseNickDined on 8/7/2014Stopped in for lunch after some business meetings. Made a reservation as a precaution but it wasn't really needed. Very enjoyable meal, had a large bowl of clam chowder and some pan-fried halibut on tacos. Friendly service.
- Lovely dinnerolyfoodiesDined on 8/2/2014Everything was excellent. They needed another waitress as ours was managing a very busy restaurant and no one could have kept up.Special Features:

- Great chef & locally-sourced itemsjmc1Dined on 7/18/2014Superb soup and salad and bread to start. Excellent albacore from Washington State, prepared medium-rare as we requested, and served with noodles and lovely broth. First-rate!Special Features:
- Excellent ambiancedp08161950Dined on 7/17/2014Special event for my wife. The staff was exceptional, the elk was superb, the view was breathtaking, the wine selection was great and the experience was memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- luncholynewbiefoodieDined on 7/16/2014We were a party of two and opted to sit inside for lunch only because alcoholic beverages are not allowed at the outside seating and we wanted a glass of wine with our lunch. We opted for the special; oyster tacos and halibut tacos. The halibut was good, under seasoned though, as were the condiments that came with. I would go back for dinner, not having eaten here before, to choose from a more extensive dinner menu and its options. There were only a few other tables filled during the time we were there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing foodYummyfoodDined on 7/11/2014Stop into this unassuming treasure for a delectable dining experience. Utilizing the freshest ingredients and unique Northwest meats and fish the chef always amazes and leaves my mouth happy. I have not had a dish I did not enjoy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our favorite in OlympiaOkeedokeDined on 7/3/2014We always look forward to eating at Dockside! It's absolutely our very favorite in Olympia, and its food, staff and ambiance are above reproach. We trust the wait staff to recommend the best wine pairing with our dinners and we're never disappointed. Also, the view on the Percival Cove and marina are literally stunning. Why would you eat at a chain restaurant when you have this gem in Olympia? We love Dockside!Special Features:
- TomDavisDined on 7/1/2014Exellent food. Consistently creative and well presented. Always pleasant to take a walk on the boardwak and look at the boats, afterwards. We take all our out-of-town guests there. Made reservations for my wife's birthday and there was a card on the table when we arrived- classy touch - and no tacky birthday singing. Would have liked to take advantage of the flowers option, but put my same day order was too late to honor (my bad). A bit pricey, but, in this case, you get what you pay for. NOTE: If you're a cheap tipper (less than 20%) please dine somewhere else, as this place is a neighborhood gem I would hate to see change.Special Features:
- A gem in OlympiaRickraffDined on 6/25/2014Dockside Bistro scores on all counts: great food, varied and uncommon options, terrific service, excellent wines, and nice ambiance. It inches up toward pricey, but not too badly, and let's face it -- you get what you pay for. And at the Bistro, you truly get a memorable and terrific meal for your dollars. One tip: in ordering how you'd like your meat cooked, err on the more-cooked side. My duck, which I requested medium rare, seemed more like rare (which I'd prefer to overcooked, so it was still good); I suspect medium would have been what I consider medium rare.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special OccasionmurphDined on 6/19/2014We had a wonderful evening of dining at Dockside Bistro. This is a great place for a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary. Food was perfect, and the service was impeccable.Special Features:
- A Local GemFoxyDined on 6/15/2014Although Olympia is not long in the excellent department, we think this is one of the best in town. We had dinner there on Father's Day and, although it was early in the evening, the restaurant was very busy which made for the service being a bit slow. That said, the food was worth waiting for. One of our party had a elk, prepared in two ways and was thoroughly enjoyable. Wine recommended by our server was a hit! This was our third visit to Dockside Bistro and they have not failed to provide a delightful experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TerrificEatWellBeWellDined on 6/13/2014Celebrated a special occasion and could not be happier with the selection. With six of us in the party, each of us enjoyed our meals. The food was original, well-prepared and beautifully presented. While the food was serious, the mood was light and comfortable. Our server was delightful. Would definitely recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely..OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 6/13/2014This was my second visit to Dockside...it didn't disappoint. The ambiance is great and the view of the water outstanding. I only have a couple very minor notes of desired improvement. I never saw a hostess, and we waited about 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge us at the front desk. For a busy restaurant on a Friday night, there should be a hostess. Second, the menu, while lovely, is a bit limited and hasn't changed at all since my last visit six months ago. And finally, while I enjoyed my wine by the glass, I wish there was a bit more to choose from. But again, all in all, the food, service and ambiance were excellent and I definitely recommend the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for anniversary mealMickyBDined on 6/8/2014Lovely experience from start to finish. Seated immediately with choice of booth or window seat. Service was friendly and professional. Food was divine; my greens and goat cheese salad was combination of sweet and tart; partner's wild mushroom soup was earthy and smooth. My lamb was perfect as was partner's sea scallops. Hurray for Spanish Cava! Finished meal with coffee and shared fight over the last bite crème brulee. Pianist provided soothing background music that added to overall appeal of experience.Special Features:
- Perfect lunchJohnVIPDined on 6/6/2014After flying into Seattle and driving towards Willamette Valley wine country, this bistro was a perfect stop to have lunch and begin to relax. You have a view of the dock area and into a bay - very picturesque. The wine list was extensive and had delicious local wines (OR and WA) by the glass. We both had their crab soup special and a fish entree. Both the soup and the fish were excellent. We recommend the Dockside Bistro to anyone in the Olympia WA area.Special Features:
- Charming on the waterGoodtimeBPVIPDined on 5/18/2014We arrived at sunset with a lovely view along the dock and a pianist while we were seated. The house specialty drinks were super and we both had wonderful fresh oyster appetizers and the two fresh fish specials of the day were creatively prepared by the chef and were incredible. The wine list was wonderful we chose a dry Riesling and the fresh huckleberry and blueberry dessert was a finish to a delightful meal. We look forward to coming back to this charming intimate restaurant.Special Features:
- Anniversary RhapsodytotalcolourDined on 5/18/2014Our favourite place for an anniversary - fabulous food, great wine and excellent staff. The food really is exquisite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just as good the 2nd timeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/18/2014Revisited this gem Sunday. Just as good as when we last visited in September. We are from Indiana and this gem will continue to be a must do!! Great food surprises; wonderful service and the keyboard player adds just the right touch.Special Features:
- Great FoodLSL4everDined on 5/17/2014This is an outstanding restaurant. I will definitely come back. Their Halibut taste wonderful, it was cooked beautifully with a perfect sear.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine dining with a viewLGRFDined on 5/16/2014We have dinner at Dockside Bistro about once a year, and our latest meal showed that they have maintained their high standards. Service was excellent and the elk carpaccio appetizer was fabulous. We look forward to returning more often.Special Features:
- Outstanding doesn't discribe itSouthpwDined on 5/14/2014I was a patron of the previous owner and this was my first visit. I was amazed at the environmental changes. Wonderful and inviting, remarkable change. Loved the food, but was't sold on the crab chowder...not enough crab favor and didn't care for the Taraggon (?). My friend is going to bring her group from Steilacoom that how impressed she was. #1 in my book. Thanks.Special Features:
- Tasty MealhomedenDined on 5/11/2014Had a very nice and enjoyable Mother's Day dinner. We split different parts of our meal: seafood, salad and dessert. It was tasty in a relaxing atmosphere. The cost is a bit pricey for Olympia but the restaurant is consistently good and provides a nice selection and variety of choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best restaurant in Olympia!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/11/2014Our server was fabulous, our food was amazing, and the environment was wonderful! My family and I ate in the banquet room on Mother's day and Dockside Bistro catered to our every need. Our server was more than accommodating to any and every question/request we had. I don't usually write reviews, but I can't wait to go back and I think more people in Olympia should know just how great this restaurant is!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 270 reviews are from the Dockside Bistro reviews archive.
- YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!Live2EatDined on 4/30/2014Made reservations online, was seated immediately upon arrival. Service was outstanding. The food was more than outstanding. Will be returning. I recommend the Seafood Cocktail it was wonderful, it does however make you want more. :)Special Features:

- Very GoodRandomHumbleLogicDined on 4/19/2014Crab cakes were ok, but the salad was very good and the elk entre was outstanding. I eat out a lot and I was completely surprised by how good this was. Nice place for a special occasion without feeling overly formal or stuffy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food, High PriceCiceroDined on 4/19/2014My wife and I had her birthday dinner there. The oyster appetizers were fresh, and well prepared. Likewise with the Caesar Salads. The main courses (Beef and Scallops) were well prepared and tasty. The accompaniments were poor. The vegetables (what few there were) were not well prepared, and the potato side was bland and not thoroughly heated. Overall, it was a nice atmosphere. Our biggest observation was that pretty much all courses were considerably overpriced for the quality (good) and quantity (somewhat meager). Not likely that we will return; nor will we recommend this restaurant.
- WedontneednonicknamesVIPDined on 4/18/2014The Basil Martini was different and very good as was the Northwest Manhattan.Oysters were excellent.Crab chowder was great.Warm bread out of the oven was a nice touch.Halibut entree special was superb as recommended by our server.Elk dish was unique and quite flavorful.The Key Lime Pie was very well done as was the chocolate dessert.The dessert wines were very generous pours.Service was attentive and kind of a well-orchestrated team approach.Special Features:
- Mid-week dinner for threeOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/8/2014The overall experience was largely over shadowed by poor service; two of our three salads weren't what we ordered. The third salad was short on dressing and extra dressing was never delivered. Fruit reduction sauces were excellent and perfectly matched to the lamb and duck though the duck was a bit under cooked, rare instead of medium rare as ordered. The seafood starter was loaded with lobster, crab and scallops and the caviar cream sauce was excellent. A side of parmesan fries were cool and the second try delivered after our meal were excellent.Special Features:
- Olympia Gem - $1 Corkage on TuesdayAvianAcresDined on 4/8/2014We tried the seafood martini, which is definitely shareable, and agreed that if we weren't celebrating a birthday, just that and one of their salads and bread would make a great light meal. We settled on a filet and an off-menu choice - pheasant - and found them both to be prepared even better than expectations. I substituted bok choy for Brussels sprouts with the pheasant with no problem. Tuesdays have only a $1 corkage fee (versus the $15 usual) thus making that day one that we really like for bringing something from our wine cellar. And our server, Kailie (I hope I spelled that correctly) provided us with outstanding service. Thanks for the birthday card! (signed by the staff - something I've not ever seen in a restaurant before).Special Features:
- Great food great serviceAarongDined on 4/5/2014Only a few choices but all them make it hard to decide I did the duck it was my first time and it was amazing!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Tampa Wedding Photography
Reviewed by Debbie Ratcliffe on
Oct 14th 2011.
This guy is the best in the Tampa area! I used Jon for the first time 12 years ago at my first marriage and his images were amazing. Every picture looked like it belonged in a magazine and he was so fun and professional to work with. I referred him to both my brother and my best friend and they were so happy and impressed with his work! So I just got married again and of course I jumped at the chance to contact Jon. I got my photos back a week and a half later and they are breathtaking! On top of everything he's affordable too! We are soooo pleased with the experience! Call him! Use him!

We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience using Jon for our wedding. He made things so easy and made us so comfortable we never had to worry about that part of the planning and he even referred us to a fantastic florist and great caterer. After our engagement session we knew we had the right photographer! The photos were incredible and so romantic and he even designed the save the date cards for us! He attended the rehearsal, met and got to know who everyone was and was so professional and even took great shots at the rehearsal. On the ceremony day he was well dressed and personable and was there all day, much later than we expected. The pictures are so beautiful I can hardly put it to words. He made me look so beautiful (and my husband too) and got so many fantastic images of our family and guests. We will use him for newborn photos as well.

-Christina W.
Renee Johnson on Feb 12th 2012.
Jon was just fantastic! And so were our pictures! After talking to many photographers we felt most comfortable with Jon for the following reasons.
He showed us hundreds of photos from individual weddings so we knew that all our pics were going to be spectacular ...the other photographers would just show us a few from each wedding.
He was very professional and organized yet laid back and humorous which made us feel very relaxed. He went over each person and the event timeline and even attended the rehearsal so he knew who and where everyone would be.
Every one of our engagement, rehearsal and ceremony photos were world class quality and we couldn't be happier with our choice.
If you're looking for one of the best tampa wedding photographers, I would definitely highly recommend him!

Oh my gosh...couldn't rave about Jon enough! Never thought we could fit this kind of quality in our budget, but Jon made it happen. We will be sending so much business your way Jon! After all my girlfriends saw our photos I guarantee they'll be using you when the time comes. Such a friendly, cool guy, even helped us out with a florist. I have never seen such beautiful work outside of a bridal magazine.

I had not had drunk an "ice beer" in awhile and it's better than my vague memory of Keystone Ice but definately not as good as Molson Ice oh well it was cheap (99c a pint) having it really cold made it palatable but don't c myself getting it again. Not recommended under normal circumstances.

This is what they call a blast from the past. Had quite a few of these back in the day in Charleston, SC & Daytona, FL. My first spring break. Might as well crush another one on a Monday night while watching pro wrestling I thought. $1 a can in the loose bin at the gas station.
Yellow, thin soapy head, no retention after poured into my Jake the Snake tasting glass. A sweet corn and sugar with the metal can from canned vegetables type of aroma, not harsh, just kinda kitschy value-esque.
Taste, meh, not much going on, but I think it is a little better than regular Busch, for whatever that is worth. Don't even go around thinking you're gonna pull some hop quality out of thise beer. In the mouthfeel, especially as it warms, the beer gets a little rough with the almost fusel like alcohol remnants. Corn pops would seem like a good food pairing with this.
Not worth $1 a can.

355ml can, 6.0 % ABV, and made in that backwater AB-Inbev backwater of Edmonton, AB. Wait, I live here! Single can from some random walk-by liquor store.
This beer pours crystal clear, very pale golden pee colour (I've got a two-month old, so this I know!), with three rather surprising fingers of puffy, tightly foamy bone white head, which leaves some actual, honest to goodness loose coral lace around the glass as it evenly recedes.
It smells of pretty sweet corn grist, mashed green apple, a certain mineral water character, and a general dusty mustiness. The taste is more sweet, gritty, and grainy malted corn, a bit of overcooked rice, and an indistinct wet mustiness - very much the semblance of any crappy neighbourhood pub whose doors I've sparingly darkened the doorstep of late (Hello, H20 Lounge!). No appreciable warming from the extra point of booze, so a win for AB-Inbev, then, eh?
The bubbles are hardly noticeable, the body on the light side, but not so much so, and smooth and creamy, down to the proscribed dotted i and crossed t. It finishes sweet, apple-ish, and generally inoffensive to the insensitive tastebuds of the world, I would imagine.
While not good by any stretch of the imagination, this follows the BMC trope of dumbing everything down to the simplest flavours, and ramming that down our throats. This isn't really that hard to drink, even with the extra bit of booze - I'd take it over any Minhas product in a heartbeat, but that's a world where beer would be my last drink of choice.

Golden body, pours without forming a proper head, no lace. Faint corn cereal and green apple aroma. Doughy malt and corn syrup flavour, with a moderately strong green apple character. Alcohol is a tiny bit harsh, but bearable. Unpleasant, but bearable. Light-bodied with low carbonation, but not watery. Seems to have little more body than Busch Beer. Much as I expected, this is like a slightly concentrated version of Busch. Unfortunately, that means the off-flavours in Busch Beer are concentrated as well.

I have a hard time with the large number of "1" ratings for this beer. I'm not going to do a A-S-T-M-O type review since this stuff will mostly be drank out of the can anyway.
This is a perfectly acceptable "Ice" style beer. I poured a little in a glass and as expected it was pale yellow with fleeting head. The smell and taste are actually quite neutral. The mouthfeel is pleasant due to a moderate level of carbonation. Even several minutes after finishing a 24 ounce can I still have a pleasant after taste.
There is a multitude of malt beverages that make this stuff look like a world class beer which makes me wonder how anyone can rate it a "1".
This is a drinkable, 5.9 class ice beer. No - it's not world class but it's hardly bottom of the barrel either.

Pours a pale, see through gold with a big foamy, fizzy, white head that quickly fades. The nose is very grainy and fruity. The flavor is grainy, slightly fruity with an apple-like off note, a bit malty, and a bit of hops in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth, a little warm, and the carbonation is just right.
For the style it isn't awful. The body is a little better than expected. The flavor isn't offensive, but it isn't great either. I'll probably pass in the future.

This beer has a past for me. It's one for those "holy grail" types for me(shitty beers that are hard to find).I used to purchase this gem back in 2002-2003. I was the life of the party with peoples reaction of"Holy shit, Busch ICE??" &"That stuff exists?"So it was always fun to bring excitement to party in that aspect. To be blunt about Busch ICE its not that good. Of course is a good punch your car keys in the side of the can and slam 'em down kinda beer. You wont cry over spilled beer on this one. As for the taste, well..hummmm?....kinda like natural ice but with a hint of cherry and clove and some smells of...Its tastes like cheap, get drunk, and have a good time beer. I don't think I need to get into flavors and stuff It would just be...wrong. So with that said, CHEERS!

I know we're supposed to be constructive here, but this "beer" is absolute crap. If they mail it in on the brewing, can't I mail it in on my review? Not like anyone takes great pride in the taste of this stuff.
It's a pale yellow with a fizzy white head, heavily carbonated. Taste is offensive, with adjunk and other horrors I can't put my finger on.
If it looks like pee and it tastes like pee, can you really call it beer?

I get some sweetish banana Runts candy on the nose along with the tiniest bit of malt underneath. Somewhat sweet on the palate with the same light malt and banana flavors up front. The flavor doesn't last long though, despite the somewhat sweet intensity of the initial impression. The carbonation scrubs the malt and banana flavor to a bland sourness at the midway and then turns to this very watery flavor followed by a very dry, almost "furry" impression on the tongue and cheek during the not so short finish. The weird over-carbonated and dry feeling on the finish lasts longer than the actual taste of flavors.

The Arkansas Razorbacks put the final nail in Auburn's bowl hopes Saturday afternoon with a 24-7 victory over the Tigers on their home turf.
The Razorbacks (2-4) got the upset party started with a two-yard rushing touchdown from running back Dennis Johnson as the clock winded down in the first. Arkansas would add on to their lead in the second after a fumble from Auburn wide receiver Emory Blake set up a 27-yard Zach Hocker field goal.
Arkansas wrangled in their second takeway of the game during Auburn's two-minute drill with quarterback Kiehl Frazier tossing an interception to cornerback Will Hines. That blunder would cost Frazier his job as head coach Gene Chizik elected to go with backup Clint Moseley coming out of the locker room.
Moseley responded by leading Auburn (1-4) on their only scoring drive of the game at the end of the third when the junior quarterback found Blake for a 21-yard touchdown through the air. But the Razorbacks would counter on their very next drive with wideout Brandon Mitchell hooking up with fellow pass catcher Javontee Herndon on 26-yard touchdown pass off a reverse.
Arkansas collected another fumble on the following drive to set up Johnson's second rushing touchdown of the day. That 17-point cushion would be more than enough for the Razorbacks to close out the game.
Arkansas finished the day with five takeaways (three interceptions, two fumbles) after only collecting two through the first five games of the 2012 season.
Box Score Hero: Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson was sharp completing 20-of-27 passes for 216 yards. Johnson also did his job on the ground with 76 yards and two touchdowns.
Rankings Ramifications: Neither of these teams are on the AP's radar after their slow starts.
But Did They Cover? Aurburn didn't even come close to covering as they were favored by 9.5 points.
For More On This Game: For Auburn's reaction, head on over to College and Magnolia. To get the Razorbacks' view on things, pay a visit to Arkansas Expats.
Next Week's Schedule: Arkansas will return home from their two-game road trip to take on Kentucky, while Auburn begins a road trip of their own when they head to Oxford, Miss. to take on Ole Miss.

To say filmmaker Lee Daniels' "The Paperboy" is the most controversial film at Cannes is a massive understatement. A pulpy, tart and sordid-sounding Southern potboiler that features moments like Nicole Kidman's character urinating on Zac Efron to cure a jellyfish wound (among other apparent follies), Daniels' follow-up to the well-recieved, but still polarizing "Precious," has been called everything from a "transcendentally awful piece of filmmaking" akin to "Showgirls," to an "instant trash masterpiece." Our reviewer from Cannes pulled no punches, describing the film as a "disastrous flop" and going as far as to claim anyone hailing it as a "camp classic" should not be trusted by the general public (and to even things out, here's another Playlist contributor who prefers it to Daniels' past work).
Suffice it to say almost every single published review has a polarized, love-it-or hate-it-perspective. Featuring scenes of Matthew McConaughey engaging in violent on-screen bondage, a racist psychopath and a narrator that keeps frustratingly changing point of view, the film is divisive to say the least. Variety said, "the film seems possessed by the spirits of blaxploitation and 'Baywatch,'" but also noted the film was "not unenjoyable" while The Hollywood Reporter praised the film for its "down and dirtiness."
But more troubling is Daniels' reponse to the mixed reviews, especially an interview with GQ, where the filmmaker raised the race card. A difficult topic to discuss without being seen as a bigot for one side or the other, here's the GQ transcript in full where this subject is broached:
GQ: I don't know. Some prominent critics like it, others don't.
Lee Daniels: I think, too, that, and it's so politically incorrect to talk about racism—you simply can't—but I think that if it were Pedro Almodovor or some Italian director telling the story we wouldn't be in the situation we're in. I should be doing Precious—urban stories that make sense for me. How dare I step out of my comfort zone and tell a story like this. That's the way I think it is. But, that's not my destiny.
GQ: I wonder if part of the racism is that you're a black director taking one of the most adored white actresses of our era and you make her squat and pee on Zac Efron. And even what you have Matthew McConaughey do for you...
Lee Daniels: And you know what? They love me. As much as I love them. And they trusted me and they believed and we're all working together again. I don't know what it all means. It means: Get ready, it is what it is. Am I really the most talked-about?
There's a degree to which we sympathize with some of what Daniels is saying. African-American directors are all too often pigeon-holed -- filmmakers like Tim Story or Clark Johnson get to make films for wider audiences, but they're all too often anonymous, hired-gun studio fare. Daniels was only the second African-American to be nominated for a Best Director Oscar (after John Singleton in 1991), and one of the few with the cache to make what he wants to, and it must have been sour to see the critical response so different as when he made a film set, as he puts it, outside of his "comfort zone."
And his intentions are good, certainly. He made David Oyelowo's Yardley, one of the leads in the film, a black character rather than a white one, and gave Anita (Macy Gray) an expanded role, telling a Cannes press conference, via the Associated Press, that "there aren't enough roles for African Americans in the world today" -- a sentiment that few would disagree with. And he's not wrong that he probably faces a harsher jury for what is by most accounts a campy melodrama than someone like, say, Pedro Almodovar or Luca Guadagnino might have for the same critics -- one of the disadvantages of bringing a genre-y, star-laden picture to Cannes (film festivals are always bubbles, and we'd expect the reviews to be a little kinder when it goes into general release). So Daniels does absolutely raise valid points.
All that being said, we think he's displaying all kinds of hubris here. If the reviews of "The Paperboy" out of Cannes had complained about Daniels being ill-suited for the material, or arguing that he should stick to the kind of African-American stories embodied by "Precious," that would be one thing. But even the most vicious reviews of the new picture don't contain anything of the kind: instead, they focus on tonal lurches, Instagram-esque photography, script weaknesses and all-round bad filmmaking. And when he brings up, say, Almodovar, he ignores that the Spanish director has absolutely had the kind of kickings from the press that Daniels is now complaining about, especially early in his career.
This writer hasn't seen "The Paperboy," and is kind of looking forward to it, despite the worst of the reviews. But he can certainly sympathize with some of the criticisms when it comes to "Precious." In that film, Daniels showed an astonishing affinity when it came to working with actors, eliciting an Oscar-nominated performance out of newcomer Gabourey Sidibe and an Oscar-winning one from stand-up comedian/actress Mo'nique. And he seems to have done the same here, as the actors have generally been praised in "The Paperboy," Nicole Kidman and Macy Gray in particular, and as Daniels says in that GQ piece, his cast adored the experience: "They love me. As much as I love them. And they trusted me and they believed and we're all working together again."
But "Precious" was marred for many by sub-student-film choices when it came to the decisions Daniels made shooting and editing the film, and many of the criticisms recur with reviews of "The Paperboy." Indeed, we expressed concern with a clip, which showed some really clunky, look-at-the-new-setting-I-found-with-my-editing-software cutting. And there was a heavy-handedness to "Precious" that seems to have carried over here too.
Daniels is absolutely within his rights to disagree with the reviews of his films, or indeed not read them altogether, as many do. But impugning the motives of the people who write them -- 99.9% of whom, we're confident in saying, could give a shit what race he is -- is a childish and over-defensive way of reacting to it. It's healthy not to take your critics too seriously, but in some circumstances it can be fatal to ignore them. Look at M. Night Shyamalan, whose ego has seen him make worse and worse films as he became convinced he was the saviour of filmmaking, or Richard Kelly, who was similarly savaged at Cannes six years ago for "Southland Tales," and who, if anything, ramped up his directorial excesses with his next picture, "The Box."
There will always be people who love Daniels' films, and there will always be those who hate them. It's the case with literally every movie ever made. But by dismissing his reviews as coming from racists, Daniels risks sealing himself inside a bubble which can become hard to break out of. It'll certainly be interesting to see how the studio-funded, star-studded "The Butler" turns out next year. And we look forward to making our own minds up on "The Paperboy" when it opens later in 2012.

One of the first anti-racist was Leon Trotsky. He invented the word "racist" as a way to attack people who opposed his multi-racial basis for empire. He is the patron saint of many anti-racists.
We know how that thing with Trotsky and communism worked out with 60 million dead bodies of whites. RACIST WHITES!!! They didnât even know they were racists but the patron saints of communism did!!!!
Seems the anti-racists are always considered good intentioned, but leave dead bodies in their wake.
Let's just look at the real effects of anti-racism, the real world. That is way I continue to ask this question:
White countries are being flooded by non-whites. We are told to be TOLERANT. We are forced to integrate. With assimilation we see the
extinction of one race only, the white race.
How is this not genocide?
Andrew | May 29, 2012 8:56 AM
Wait a second this is a false argument that can only elicit vicious denial from all. I've read some of the reader responses to the Playlist review of PB which suggest something similar but I think a point is being missed, which is that once upon a time we enjoyed movies like Sweetback, Coffy, Cleopatra Jones, thru to Beyond the valley of the dolls, and Polyester; now we may look back fondly on those films, but that's only with hindsight, released today I could imagine them violently dividing audiences in the way PB has. The point for me is that cinema has become far too white, conservative, and safe, it's lost it's counter culture, it's deviance and it's sense of danger, partly due to the critics that have become the gate keepers of the art form. We need to loosen up remember the history of film in it's entirety and allow other attitudes into the party. I don't like how this particular argument is framed in such a way that it can only serve to bring the gates down once again, and equally I don't like the fact a movie I want to see and which many people liked, has been beaten to an inch of it's life and as far as I know doesn't yet have a distributor.

"Africa for Africans. Asia for the Asians. White countries for EVERYBODY?!"
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to âassimilate,â i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize Iâm not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldnât object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist IS a code word for anti-white.

I don't think for a second that not liking "The Paperboy" automatically makes one racist (I snark on the Playlist a lot, but I really do respect their critical judgment 9 times out of 10, and they have successfully dissuaded me from touching it with a ten-foot pole), but I do think there's an argument to be made that a black filmmaker (or a woman filmmaker) gets far fewer chances to fuck up than a white male one does. Compare how many second chances we gave someone like Woody Allen between "Bullets Over Broadway" and "Vicky Christina Barcelona" or "Midnight in Paris".
jimmiescoffee | May 28, 2012 8:16 PM
this is so typical. no, this movie likely blows just as much as 'precious.' if anything is "racist" its fawning over that film because it made white people feel like they care. sorry daniels, their are plenty of african american directors more talented (and profound) than you.

I hope this becomes similar to Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" reception at Cannes. Massively panned, but it turned out (to me) to be the best film of her career and one of the top ten movies of the last decade. I think with minorities of women and men given so few chances that if they get an early success they are overly-scrutinized and set up for failure because they represent all of their gender or race at these esteemed festivals. (boxofficebuz has a good point about baseball players -- the more black filmmakers and female filmmakers we put on this stage the less they will be required to be the great hope for their filmmaking community and can just make what they want). The boos at Cannes probably tempered expectations for "Marie Antoinette" and it was reviewed (mostly) accordingly. I am very interested in "The Paperboy" and hope that critics will approach it as if they'd never read these reviews before. It sounds like it might be akin to "Black Snake Moan".

Les Daniels is the racist, he's always playing the race card: 'Oh you don't like me because I'm black, right?'. No, I don't like you because 'Precious' is a piece of crap...
Michael | May 28, 2012 4:18 PM
I don't know about racism but it sure seems like a sense of fun/adventure helps in appreciating this film. The huge number of horrified reviews are making me wonder if campy trash is ever really appreciated in the present day. It seems a little hypocritical for people to enjoy safely canonized works like Rocky Horror Picture Show and Pink Flamingoes and yet be appalled by someone who seems, in my eyes, to be the next John Waters (which I think is great, because John Waters stopped making John Waters movies a long time ago). I liked Precious a lot and I'm looking forward to The Paperboy, which I view less as the "vital work of an important new black filmmaker" (lol) than the dicking around of a John Waters/Almodovar fanboy. I think our mistake in the first place was assuming Lee Daniels ever meant to deliver stone-serious messages on race (why did we assume that about Precious in the first place, by the way? What about that movie didn't scream "dark comedy"?). Judging by Precious and what people are saying about this one, Daniels seems to be gleefully anarchic about, well, everything. Which is awesome, because no one else seems to be. Maybe we need a Lee Daniels to help us laugh at these confusing times.
Let me also add, though, that making fun of pretty much everything doesn't necessarily preclude occasional seriousness. I don't think anyone laughed at Precious being raped by her father, for example. Lee Daniels is working in a very tricky register, where the tone can swing from outright farce to subtle satire to open horror and back again all in a matter of seconds. Some people seem bothered by this, but to me (and others!) it's like a cinematic rollercoaster. Maybe not for everyone, but if you're on that wavelength, I think Daniels has something to offer you.

Nick Diaz spent a lot of time saying that the only way to beat him was to hold him down. Well, Georges St. Pierre did get his share of takedowns, but he also did an excellent job of beating him up on the feet. Over half of the bout was contested standing, and Diaz wasn't able to get his usual pressure offense going in the face of GSP's jab. He was also predictable in his attempts to get up, giving up his back and trying to use his usual kimura attack to get up. In the end, St. Pierre defended his title and picked up a unanimous decision victory. All three judges had it 50-45 for the Canadian.
GSP took about 10 seconds to get his first takedown. He worked in full guard, landing an elbow, until Diaz flopped away and GSP took his back. Diaz rolled through but got pancaked by St. Pierre and had his back taken again. Diaz rolled back to guard and ate an elbow. Diaz repeatedly gave up his back, but GSP wasn't handing over the kimura that Diaz usually uses to get up. GSP landed a few strikes before Diaz got up. Georges dragged him back down though.
St. Pierre came out with kicks in the second while Diaz threw hooks. GSP got the takedown 40 seconds in this time. Diaz looked for a leg and gave up his back again, but Georges landed a big knee to the body. Diaz finally got up with a minute to go in the round. They both landed a few strikes in the last minute, and Diaz tried to talk some smack to GSP after the bell.
Diaz continued taunting in round three, and ate jabs in exchange. He actually stopped one GSP takedown, but a second took it to the floor within a minute. Diaz got up within 30 seconds this time though. GSP went back to the jab and had another takedown stuffed. Diaz landed a body shot, but St. Pierre responded with a nice punch. St. Pierre took over the boxing the jab and straight right. Nick handed a left, then a right in his best attack of the fight thus far. But he got taken down with 40 seconds to go. Nick took a swing after the bell, and the ref said he'd be disqualified.
GSP re-established the jab early in round four. Diaz stuffed three takedown attempts but was getting bloodied up by the jab of the champion. Diaz was able to batter GSP a bit in the clinch with knees and body work. Diaz started walking around with his hands down, which was a bit odd. St. Pierre got three takedowns over the last three minutes of the round to stifle any Diaz offense.
Diaz came out with kicks and straight lefts in the final round, but again ran into a GSP jab. Nick clinched up against the cage but couldn't get anything going. Diaz slipped on a head kick and got his back taken with three minutes to go. Diaz tried to create some scrambles, and eventually got up. They went back into the clinch where Diaz landed a few body shots. Diaz landed a jab and go another takedown late, and that was all she wrote.

This is the page on the Internet where I tell you about myself. If you aren't even slightly interested in me, this will be a dull (though quick) read.
First things first. I've lived in Minnesota most of my life, but I spent an awesome 5 years in California where it is always sunny and expensive. I write code for a living — mostly the bits you see and click and touch. I enjoy most things digital, and some things analog.
My professional life is not difficult to summarize. I cut my code teeth as webmaster of Eagle Brook Church from 2003–2006, doing all things web-related. There was much PHP that I would no doubt be ashamed of today.
Then, from 2006–2008, I worked at a place called space150. I wrote a lot of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and ActionScript.
Next, I called Apple and California my home from 2008–2013. I spent a couple of years on the Apple Online Store before moving to iTunes to work on the App Store and iTunes Store. More JavaScript than you can shake a stick at. Oh btw, if you're on a Mac, Open -> Software Update…. I did that.
Most recently, I returned to my old haunt at space150 and stayed there from 2013–2014. I took responsibility for almost all of the iOS projects that passed through the agency.
I've got accounts all over the place. I'm most active on Twitter, although I also do the GitHub, Facebook, and LinkedIn thing. Check 'em out! They are far more interesting than this little ol' thing. If you want to get in touch with me over email, my name is Matt, and this is pennig.name. I trust you'll figure it out. 😉

The Justice Ministry denied on Monday rumors that Foreign Minister Avigdor
Liberman and the State Attorney's Office plan to open plea bargain negotiations
in the coming weeks.
"Decisions are being made about the case after
previous hearings," the Justice Ministry spokesman explained. "It is too early
to speculate about plea bargains, and any reports on the matter are not
Media sources reported that the State Attorney's Office sent
Liberman's lawyers a proposed hearing in writing, in which he would have to
answer questions within three weeks, and the plea deal would come after the
answers are received.
Liberman's office refused to comment on the
The foreign minister is under investigation for charges of fraud,
breach of trust, obtaining benefits through deceit, money laundering and witness
harassment. According to an earlier draft indictment, Liberman is suspected of
receiving millions of dollars from private business people, through straw
companies, between the years 2001 and 2008, while he was a member of Knesset and
a cabinet minister.
The foreign minister has already undergone three
hearings, and one year ago, Attorney- General Yehuda Weinstein said he will
submit an indictment against him. However, the six-year investigation of
Liberman's case is still ongoing, and no charge sheet has been
The Movement for Quality Government called for Weinstein to
explain why there has not been any progress in the case.
The NGO said it
is in the public's interest for Liberman to be put on trial, rather than be
given a plea bargain, as he is a senior official and the court must not leave
his case unresolved.
"We need to know where this case stands, and not
just hear about it from anonymous sources and rumors in the media," a Movement
for Quality Government spokesman said on Monday.

The North Daviess Lady Cougars were inches away, but for the second year in a row they couldn't beat Barr-Reeve in the sectional.
The Class A No. 10 Vikings (17-4) defeated the Cougars (16-5), 52-50, in the first round of Sectional 63 Tuesday at Kavanaugh Kourt. North Daviess fell to Barr-Reeve 50-24 in last year's sectional final.
With just over two minutes to play in regulation, junior Meghan Knepp put the Cougars up 49-48 with her sixth 3-pointer of the night. On the ensuing play, Vikings sophomore Hannah Bullock missed an open three of her own, and North Daviess looked to have the momentum.
In an attempt to beat the Barr-Reeve press defense, North Daviess senior point guard Larynda Keith lifted a pass to Sabra Smith, who was streaking down the left sideline, but Smith didn¹t see the pass and the ball fell out of bounds for a turnover.
Jenna Knepp answered with a jumper to give the Vikings the lead, 50-49.
After a Meghan Knepp missed 3-pointer, senior Cori Cummings converted two free throws to close out the game. Despite the loss, North Daviess coach Ron Knepp couldn't fault his team.
"That was the best I have seen us play all year," Ron Knepp said. "They put their hearts and souls into it. There at the end Sabra (Smith) was gassed. We played (Sabra) Smith, Meghan (Knepp) and Larynda (Keith) all 32 minutes. We don¹t have a sub for them."
Both teams came out on fire in the first quarter. North Daviess got eight points apiece from Meghan Knepp and Sabra Smith to take a 16-13 lead after the first quarter. The high octane offense continued in the second quarter, as Barr-Reeve won the quarter 17-15, but trailed 31-30 at halftime.
In the second half, the Vikings finally got some momentum when Tracy Graber converted a three-point play to take a 33-31 lead, their first lead since a 3-0 lead. The teams went back and forth trading punches, and when the dust settled Barr-Reeve held a 42-40 lead after three quarters.
North Daviess opened the final quarter with five straight points, a layup from Smith and a 3-pointer from Meghan Knepp to take a 45-42 lead. The Vikings opened with five straight of their own to take a two-point lead.
Barr-Reeve withstood a phenomenal shooting performance from Smith and Meghan Knepp, who both scored 23 points and combined for 10 3-pointers.
"I'll be honest you don't win too many games when those numbers are put up against you," said Barr-Reeve coach Mark Holt.
Barr-Reeve got 18 points from Jenna Knepp and 17 more from Graber to survive and advance to the semi-finals where they will matchup with Washington Catholic.
"My girls have a little fight left in them too," Holt said. "To take all those punches to the head, to the nose, to the mouth, my girls kept coming back. Congratulations to North Daviess, and my girls as well. That was a gutty, gutty effort to beat a team that was on fire."

A major renovations project is currently transforming the office into a safer work environment for employees but also a more convenient atmosphere for citizens. Odom said one of the highlights of the finished project will be pay windows.
"Citizens won't have to come into our office to make a payment," she said. "We will have three large pay windows."
Odom said the pay windows are a first step in better securing the Walker County Courthouse.
"I know our commission is working on making our courthouse more secure," she said. "We appreciate what they are doing with this project."
With only seven workers, the office needed a transition, Odom said.
"We were on two different sides of the office," she said. "That was OK when we had 14 workers, but now we all need to be closer together, because we are having to handle so many different things."
While the construction project is taking place, there is only one entry to the circuit clerk's office. Odom said she appreciated the public being patient during the overhaul.
"It may not be very convenient right now, but when this is finished, the citizens are going to like it as much as we are going to," she said. "We are hoping it will be finished in around 30 days."
In an effort to become more efficient in another area, the office can now accept credit card payments for court costs and fines. Odom said the office will not accept credit cards for restitution, which must be paid by cash or money order. She added that cards will only be accepted from the card holder and photo identification is required.
"You can't bring your grandmother's credit card unless you bring your grandma with you," Odom said. "We also will not accept a card from a person who has been convicted of a credit card-related crime."
District Judge Greg Williams said accepting credit cards should make it easier for the county to collect fines.
"We live in a plastic society. Most people don't carry around cash these days," he said. "Accepting credit cards should make it easier for someone to just leave the courtroom and go straight to circuit clerk's office to pay their fines."
The Walker County Circuit Clerk's Office is open to the public Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office is closed on Wednesday.
"We want our citizens to know that the office may be closed, but we are here working," Odom said. "That's the day that we are able to catch up on everything."

How to Invoke the Energy of Love
Q&A with Swami Swaroopananda
Why must the Supreme Self be worshipped like a god? Why isn't it enough to be aware of Its existence?
Worship is a manifestation of love, and love is an essential quality within spiritual practice. It is essential because it binds the lover and the beloved. If we look at our experience, we can see it is dualistic. We have an experience of a separated self and a separated external reality. In order to bring these two together into union, we have to invoke the energy of love, and one of the best methods to invoke the energy of love is the method of worship.
What is worship? Worship is love in action; it is love expressing itself in action, and it is directed toward the beloved. We call this worship, even though it's not actually possible to worship the inner Self, the innermost reality. On the other hand, the Self can be worshipped through Its external manifestations. What are Its external manifestations? It is said in the Vedas that all of this is Brahman. Everything that you see externally is Brahman; it is nothing but the Self. Therefore, by worshipping the one Self in the many within creation, you are worshipping the innermost reality behind all phenomena, or God. So the method of worshipping the Self is the method of worshipping our fellow beings in the form of selfless service to humanity, or karma yoga. Karma yoga is considered to be one of the better ways of serving the Self.
There is a mode, or a bhava, in Karma yoga, which is called Atma bhava -- to see your own self in the other, and seeing your own self in the other, to know that the self is God, to worship the self in the other. How do you worship the self in the other? By serving the other selflessly, with love, with devotion, and with the feeling that you are serving God himself, who dwells within the other. The same God that dwells within the other also dwells within yourself, because there is only one Self, and this is the One that we worship. The One that we call the Self is identical with God. The Self is God. But God is not just outside; God is not in heaven. God dwells within our own heart as our own innermost reality. And the same God dwells within the heart of every person, therefore, It can be worshipped.
Question: An old friend of mine passed away without me knowing. Is there a ritual to reconnect and just say goodbye? How do I deal with a loss in my absence?
Answer: Personally, you can tune your mind to your friend, send good wishes, and pray that your friend is going to move on. The best prayer is to help your friend to move on; it's not desirable for the friend to dwell here, to continue to dwell here on the physical plane. So the best prayer is to help him move on into the higher realms. If you would like to do a ritual, please see our priest, Krishnan Namboodiri, and he will find a specific ritual for this particular problem. He has been trained in this since he was a child.

My TTC: The Names Were Many but the Feeling Was One
On the day that I graduated from the Yoga Teachers' Training Course I received, along with my diploma, a new name.
A couple of days earlier, many of us had been initiated into mantras by Swami Swaroopananda, the spiritual preceptor of the ashram. Throughout the TTC we had been given time to contemplate the different mantras and to decide whether or not to ask for initiation into one to which we felt connected. Our new mantras, and Swami Swaroopananda's intuition, would determine our new, spiritual names.
As each of us received our diplomas at the graduation ceremony we got to hear our new name for the first time. Each of us who had requested it received a beautiful spiritual name filled with powerful meaning, which we would gradually discover as time went by. We all listened in joyous celebration as each classmate's new name was called.
After the ceremony we all gathered at the beach to discuss the amazing one-month experience we had just shared. With the moon shining on this lovely summer night, and the waves crashing, we formed a circle on the sand. Taking in the beauty and peacefulness of the moment, we had our own kirtan, repeating many of the beautiful chants we had learned throughout the month, happily chanting the names of the Divine.
Then, spontaneously, as we went around the circle, we began inserting each person's new spiritual name into the chant, as if we were welcoming each other into a new circle of love and friendship. We went around the whole circle, chanting all of the names until everyone had been included. Somehow, hearing our new names being chanted gave us all a feeling of empowerment and newfound freedom.
It was a beautiful and joy-filled moment, chanting, laughing and remembering the last month. We had studied together, we had eaten and sung together, we had served and meditated together, and we had laughed and cried together. We had arrived being certain people, but as I looked around I could see how each one of us had been transformed in so many different ways. It had been such a powerful experience and we would carry this transformation for the rest of our lives. We were now starting on a new path; we had received a new name, which symbolized the new life ahead.
It is one of the most beautiful gifts I have ever received, the gift of living up to this name.

Burglar tricks elderly man into handing over money
12:38pm Tuesday 15th January 2013 in News By Neil Phillips
AN elderly man was tricked into paying for work he never had done and had a purse stolen from his home by a distraction burglar on Saturday.
Police have released an e-fit of the man who approached the elderly man on Totteridge Road, High Wycombe at 12pm.
He spoke to him about a shower that had recently been fitted. The elderly man did not remember this but assumed he was correct.
The victim was then followed to his home and the offender said he would check the shower was still working. During this conversation he charged the elderly man for work that never took place and also stole a purse from the bedroom.
He is described as white, aged between 35 and 40-years-old, around 5ft 7ins and of medium build. He was wearing a green fleece, jeans and a woolly beanie hat. He also had gold teeth.
Det Con Ami Chapple from High Wycombe police station said: "I would like to hear from anyone who saw suspicious activity in the area, or if you saw a man fitting the above description, as any information will be useful in our investigation."
If you have any information please contact Det Con Chapple via the Thames Valley Police Enquiry Centre on 101.
If you don't want to speak directly to the police you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
No personal details are taken, information is not traced or recorded and you will not go to court.

Maybe I don't understand the definition of fraud - but from my limited knowledge of Tebow, and the uses of the word fraud they are mutually exclusive.Folks may not care for him as a player - as many clearly don't, but he is about as honest a football players and young man as I have seen.

CATEGORIES MoviesLast week, as the most glamorous cineastes walked the red carpet at Cannes, there was one star who stood out among the rest: Bill Murray. (The "Ghostbusters" actor came dressed in a multi-plaid suit reminiscent of his "Caddyshack" days. He even had a miniature camera to snap photos of the crowd.)
This shouldn't come as a surprise. What happened in France wasn't a moment of pure spontaneity; it was pure Murray. Over the years, the actor's on- and off-screen shenanigans have become legend. Whether it's crashing a karaoke session or initiating a dance circle, he knows exactly what he's doing.
On Friday, Murray's antics continue in his newest film, "Moonrise Kingdom." Here, Bill plays a shoe-throwing father of a love-crazed tween.
In honor of Murray continuing to set the curve for cool, let's take a look at the (long overdue) Bill Murray Guide to Life. Take notes, people!

Best of Open Source Software Awards 2009
InfoWorld's 2009 Bossies spotlight today's Top 40 open source products for business and IT prosFollow @infoworld
Both Pentaho and Jaspersoft have streamlined their design tools, helping to bring more minds to the data mining mix with minimal training. Pentaho has even added an Adobe Flash-based dashboard UI that breaks the bonds of static reports, while Jaspersoft has incorporated in-memory analysis for ad hoc queries, performed locally in the browser or pushed back to the server when the client device has resources.
For multidimensional analysis, OLAP, workflow, and ETL, Pentaho's well-guided interfaces and robust engine make it the best choice. Jasper, however, delivers a better overall reporting experience and ready customization. Considering the two are not mutually exclusive in their deployment, you might find it beneficial to look at both for their respective specialties.
That said, Pentaho's dashboards and wizards for report creation are nothing to sneeze at, although some of the more enterprise-worthy features like cluster and repository management require a paid subscription. By the same token, Jaspersoft's professional edition provides solid data mining with drag-and-drop tailoring of analytics.
To be considered beyond departmental-use cases, both Pentaho and Jaspersoft must continue to improve their handling of larger data sets, beef up overall security, and incorporate performance management features: financial/operational performance metrics that help companies align their strategic goals and business planning across their organizations.
Nonetheless, plenty of bells and whistles such as workflow and alerts help round out both of these stellar offerings.
SFA and CRM
SugarCRM takes the Bossie for best open source customer relationship management platform. With tools for salesforce automation (leads, pipeline forecasting, and account management), e-marketing, and online lead capture, as well as customer support and automated service handling, Sugar has the most comprehensive feature set among open source competitors.
The sizable user community behind Sugar brings with it a wealth of connectors to integral business systems and plug-in options to extend functionality. Another big plus: SugarCRM's well-designed user interface and uncomplicated setup and customization help speed up deployments and make new users productive quickly.
SugarCRM's advanced functions -- sales forecasting, order management, report customization, automated alerts, customer self-service portal -- are available only in professional and enterprise editions, as are interfaces that make the application accessible to wireless devices and Microsoft Office. The new SugarCRM 5.5 beta streamlines interfaces for mobile users and adds a collaborative tool. SugarCRM also supports REST Web services, making it easier to integrate the CRM application with legacy systems.
Sugar's e-mail marketing and campaign management tools are challenged by no other open source competitor. Budgeting and response tracking support tactical marketing efforts versus generic carpet-bombing campaigns. And automatic lead routing (also available via the customer portal) employs predefinable forms that help lock in potential leads.
SugarCRM does have open source rivals. The .Net-centric SplendidCRM shares many of the features in SugarCRM 5.2 and does a good job with mobile access. As with SugarCRM, advanced features such as full Outlook integration, the new workflow engine, and reporting require a professional or enterprise license. Concursive continues to carve out a niche market with its combination of basic CRM functionality and social networking, but falls short of a complete CRM solution.
Enterprise resource planning
Open source ERP has come a long way in a short time, and may in fact be the next big growth area for open source in the coming year. Because ERP is anything but one size fits all, specialized verticals will no doubt begin to take root.

While many fans are expecting TNA to cease operations in the near future, the company is going against the grain by signing several wrestlers to contract extensions. Today, the company announced that Zema Ion has been signed to a new multiple year deal. The belief is that the company is also hoping to lock down more performers before the year ends.
July 31, 2014
When he was initially brought into TNA, many were under the impression that Seiya Sanada was only going to work episodes of Impact Wrestling and pay per view events. However, it now appears that Sanada is full on with TNA. The X Division Champion is working live events for the company. He worked with Zema Ion at a show in Wisconsin last night.

Despite being against the odds in a 3-on-2 handicap no disqualification match at TNA Sacrifice 2014, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards were able to walk away from the pay per view as the new world tag team champions by beating Zema Ion, Robbie E and Jessie Godderz.
April 27, 2014
While the majority of the pay per view has already been announced, there are rumors backstage that an eight match could be added. Davey Richards and Eddie Edward are expected to be given a spot on the show, and their opponents could be Zema Ion, Robbie E and Jessie Godderz. There are also talks that MVP could be added if TNA doesn't want to do a handicap tag team match.
