CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, HorrorBack on December 14th, the LA Times published a story stating that filmmaker Breck Eisner had signed on to direct a remake of David Cronenberg's 1979 cult classic, The Brood. There was much hemming and hawing once this news broke, because Cronenberg is a genre icon and like Dario Argento, remaking his films seems pointless because it's the director who made the titles so uniquely compelling in the first place.
As it turns out, the reports of Eisner signing to direct the remake appear to have been premature. The director is currently doing press junkets for his re-imagining of George Romero's The Crazies-and when he sat down with SyFy he had this to say about his involvement with The Brood.
"I'm not signed on [The Brood], no. I was approached about the movie, and I'm just in discussions about it."
Eisner then added that while he's not officially attached, he's still very interested in the project. "I like the writer, Cory Goodman's, script," he says. "I'm a big fan of the original. I still have yet to decide if it's something I really want to be doing. Is it a movie for me? I'm still kind of soul-searching on that one."
The director is starting to cultivate a reputation as a horror remake filmmaker. Aside from this project and his completed updating of The Crazies, Eisner was also involved in the development of a remake of The Creature From the Black Lagoon. He's no longer attached to that film.
Get your first look at some of Eisner's work on February 26th when The Crazies infects theaters across the country.

LeAnn Rimes Defends Her Birthday Suit
Happy birthday to LeAnn Rimes! The songstress, who turns 30 today (August 28), says she is thrilled to embrace a new decade.
"I've been ready to leave my 20s behind," she tells People magazine. "I had so many amazing things happen in my 20s, and I also had a lot of hard lessons to learn. I have been truly excited about turning 30. I'm ready to be stronger than ever. It's a new chapter."
The wife of actor Eddie Cibrian had an early celebration with close family and friends over the weekend, complete with a birthday cake that had a unique topper: a miniature LeAnn clad in one of her famous bikinis, standing on top of a coffin.
"It's funny that people have this obsession with me in a bikini," she says. "I'm on the beach. What am I supposed to wear?" But, while the two-piece suits may be practical, the multi-platinum selling singer adds there's another, more personal reason why she chooses to bare (almost) all while soaking up the sun.
"I grew up with chronic psoriasis my whole life and the last six years is the first time I've actually been super healthy: my skin is clear, I'm taking care of myself," explains LeAnn, "and since I'm turning 30, between psoriasis and my [bottom] sagging, I only have a few more years to do it so I might as well wear one."
The singer-songwriter also received a little bling from her adoring spouse in honor of her big day — a rose gold and diamond Cartier "Love" bracelet. "I've always wanted one. I cried so hard when he gave it to me," she reveals. "He's always so thoughtful."
LeAnn is gearing up for the release of her latest album, Spitfire, and a subsequent fall tour. See a list of her concert dates here.

It's not like it was a guarded secret that Stephen Strasburg isn't happy with the Nationals' decision to shut him down, but Nationals GM Mike Rizzo confirmed it in a radio interview, explicitly saying, "He's not happy with the decision." Not that there was any question. It's not like Strasburg was secretly pumping his fist at the thought of paid vacation. "I'm a finally finish Dragon Warrior III and eat a freezer full of hot dogs!"
The innings-limit is something of a tired story -- you'd better believe it is in the Washington, D.C. area -- but it's at least a nuanced story. There's risk, and there's reward. The lines between both are fuzzy, and it's the start of a multifaceted debate on what sports franchises and their fans should value. The glory of a single championship season, risks be damned? Or the extended success of a franchise thinking long-term? Then you get into the physical arguments. How much would the extra innings hurt Strasburg? How sure can we be? What's the cost/benefit to having Strasburg for an extra season or two compared to a championship?
Et cetera. The story is kind of tired, but at least you can see why it riles people up in the first place. It's fascinating in limited doses. The nuance, people. Think of the nuance.
Here is an example, though, of an argument that isn't nuanced: Stephen Strasburg needs to do something. That he needs to stand up for himself. If you think I'm attacking a strawman, let's round up some quotes.
That's all you need to know. It's out of my hands. I don't want it in my hands, even though I'm a professional pitcher trying to — from spring training to the end of the season — win championships....He's in a totally different world. Remember the Stepford Wives? He's a Stepford Pitcher
If it was me, it would have to be at gunpoint. There's zero chance that I'm going to go quietly.
If I was him, I'd be throwing a fit
We might hear from Strasburg a little bit. If it was me, if I was Stephen Strasburg, I'd be making a lot of noise, saying, 'I'm pitching.'"
This is an incomplete collection, but you get the idea. Stand up for yourself, you pansy, say the ex-players. What kind of teammate are you?
This all assumes that, what, Strasburg was called into Rizzo's office last week and given the bad news? This has been the plan for over a year. Possibly two years. Step 1: Get him healthy. Step 2: Get him stretched out. Step 3: Let him continue his career as a normal pitcher. You can argue the wisdom of how they've handled Step 2, and whether it would have been better to start his season in May, or whether he should have been skipping starts periodically through the season. But those are arguments that made sense six months ago. The Nationals made their decision, and they aren't backing down.
And there isn't a damned thing Strasburg can do about it now. His options are roughly:
Make private threats and ultimatums to the owners and front office behind closed doors
I'll never re-sign here if you do this. The second I hit free agency, I walk for the way you mollycoddled me. This is embarrassing, and I'll remember this. Et cetera.
Make a huge public scene
In this scenario, in the first start that Strasburg is supposed to miss, he runs out to the mound and starts warming up. Like, no big deal. When Davey Johnson comes out to get him, there are threats, possibly with the phrase, "I'll cut you, old man" worked in there for effect. It's not that hard to get a butterfly knife, the execution of which is especially intimidating when done properly.
Or perhaps Strasburg just sits on the mound and takes his shoes and socks off, like Richie Tenenbaum, gazing around bewilderedly and freaking people out. Play stops for an hour as they wrangle him off the field, and while he doesn't get to pitch, he makes his point.
Wait, wait. A press conference with a privately hired doctor who announces to the world that, in his professional opinion, Strasburg should be cleared to pitch. Your move, Nationals
Disagree with the decision when it's made, continue to disagree with it while its implemented, and begrudgingly accept the decision without making a fool of yourself
You know, like a normal employee.
Strasburg might have done the first one already. Unlikely, but we don't know. The second one is admittedly absurd, but think of a scenario where he strongly expresses his disagreement without being absurd. Maybe some harsh comments in the press would do the trick. Really nasty, pointed, and unambiguous comments. Good suggestion! Now explain how that helps anything. It sure as hell wouldn't change the mind of anyone in the Nationals' front office.
The third one was probably what happened and continues to happen, assuming that Strasburg is really against the decision. But remember that it's not just one wacky GM making this decision on his own. There are team doctors and trainers and surgeons weighing in on this. Scott Boras -- a smart, smart man, regardless of what you think about him -- clearly had the ear of Strasburg and the Nationals on this. With all of that behind the decision, the disagreements that Strasburg might have would be tempered quite a bit.
There is still room for debate. It's the tip of the Strasburg, amirite? And even if you're tired of the debate, at least you can appreciate that it's hard to arrive at an inalterable truth.
Except when it comes to the idea that Strasburg should do something. That idea is just stupid.

What does "reduce environmental impact" mean? An ad hoc pre-K Earth Day science lesson
The next day, we sat down with a large poster paper together, and I sketched as we talked. At lunchtime we did a few more examples. I quiz him as to which of the following scenarios has a big impact, medium impact or little to no environmental impact.
I don't know how realistic or accurate these scenarios really are, but he is only 3.
Scenario 1: trees (this was my first explanation. We just got another new Whole Foods branch here, so he can relate to this idea)
- Whole Foods decides to build a store where 10 trees currently stand. It just chops those trees down and builds there (big impact)
- Whole Foods chops down only 6 trees, and plants some new ones to make up for it (medium impact).
- Whole Foods builds next to the trees instead (little impact)
Scenario 2: pollution
- Whole Foods dumps all of its garbage into rivers (big impact)
- Whole Foods creates a lot of garbage but throws it away (medium impact)
- Whole Foods doesn't create much garbage at all (small to no impact)
Scenario 3: paper bags
(daddy thought up this one)
- a shopper goes to 4 stores and gets 4 different paper bags (big impact)
- a shopper goes to 4 stores and uses the same paper bag for all 4 stores (little impact)
- a person carries their things without needing any paper bag (no impact)
It's not a fancy craft, but this is how we learn best around here. Child-driven (he asked me what the sign meant) and on the fly. Maybe I'll try to come up with an attractive craft this week, for the fun of it and to reinforce the lesson. Maybe we'll raid my quilt fabric so he can make his own shopping bag.
Looking for earth day books? Here are a few we have reviewed in the past.
I will link this up with Science Sunday.

Great explanations for a 3 year old! We read through quite a few books already and want to implement one thing from "10 things to do to help your world" - remembering to turn off the lights. We might also do some crafting with recyclables, and also Anna's school has Earth Day week next week, so hopefully they will do something there as well.

Promotion: Making SEO friendly URLsstarted by Chad Spillars on Jul 29, 2009 — RSS Feed

Posts: 1
I am using a software program called Coffee Cup Visual Site Designer. It doesn't let you put any non-letter characters in your page urls (no dashes, commas, colons, underscores, periods, etc).
Currently I have the first letter of each word in my URL capitalized. I read somewhere than Google can can tell the words apart if each one starts with a capital letter (for SEO purposes), but I ALSO read somewhere that Google pays no attention to letter-case.
Does anyone know if it matters to search engines if I capitalize any of the letters in my URL?
Also, even besides the SEO point, is it a good idea to put capital letters in my URL? Are there advantages/disadvantages? If someone had memorized my url and typed it in lower case it wouldn't appear and they would be confused. What is everyone's thoughts on capital vs. lower case letters in urls...

Capital letters are mostly not recommend. procedure of the url to be in small letters because small letters are more comfortable for search engines to search and the reach the site.

Charlie the cat went missing from his Brookline home and was found a day later outside of a downtown Foxboro store.
On August 9, Animal Control Officer Sue Thibedeau received a call from store employees shortly after they spotted the gray and white cat under a car in the parking lot.
Thibedeau showed up to find the Charlie in good condition, and was able to track down his owners in Brookline.
Thibedeau credits Charlie's microchip for identification and safe return. It was implanted by the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals where his owner bought him just a year ago.
As for Charlie's means of travel, Thibedeau believes he wandered into a commercial vehicle, perhaps a UPS truck, or even a private vehicle, that was headed down to Foxboro.

Tips on Water color
Tips on Water color
Artists have enjoyed the charm of water colours for many centuries. Constable, Cotman and Cezanne used them to great effect. Beginners, too, can get excellent results after a little practice; the medium has a lot to offer. Please print these few pages and use them as helpful instruction.
Water colour's loveliest feature is its transparency. The white of the paper shines through the colour, giving a feeling of light and sparkle to the picture. See our above description of Masking Fluid for detailed tips on it's use for maintaining the whites of the paper.
This brightest white, the white of the paper itself, however, won't be striking unless there are other, not quite as bright, parts to your work. There are many gradations of light.
Ways to lift paint to retrieve the lights: If the paint is still wet,use a tissue, a soft towel or a damp brush to blot up the paint. f thepaint has dried, use a stiff brush that's slightly damp. Gently scrub the paper and blot it with a tissue. Clean the brush and try the procedure again. Don't scrub too hard or too long or you'll risk damaging the paper.
When using water colour, the two main things to remember are that you should always work from light to dark, unlike with poster paints and oils, and that if you want white in your picture you should normally use the white of the paper; i.e. leave it unpainted wherever you need some white. Also, normally it is best to make very dark colours by mixing the other colours in your set, rather than using black.
Water colour paints are made from coloured pigment and gum arabic and are used by diluting them with water. (See the Factory Tour section) Depending on how much water you add, you can get pale, delicate colours or quite strong ones, to suit the different effects you are aiming at.
It is important not to overwork the painting, or you will lose that beautiful translucency that is essential to water colour. It is far better to spend time testing your colours on a piece of scrap paper before you start than to keep going over and over a painting in an attempt to improve the colour. The best water colour paintings have a look of freshness and spontaneity, so be bold.
If one painting does not work out quite as you had thought, just have another try!
For sketching your picture, an ordinary pencil will do; an HB or B will be fine. Remember that the pencil drawing will show through the transparent paint when you have finished. You could also try using NO pencil at all, which gives you a very soft, flowing effect. Brushes range in size from 00000, the smallest, to 14, which has a very large head. The thicker a brush is, the more paint it will hold at one go. So use a large brush for a wash and a small one for fine details. To keep a good point on your brush, smooth it back into shape with your fingers while it is still damp. Store your brush with the hairs pointing upwards.
Laying a wash
This is one of the basic water colour techniques, [It will give you an even 'wash', a liquid layer of diluted water colour over a larger area of paper; for example, in a sky]:
Have everything ready if you stop for any reason, you will get hard edges which you will not be able to erase. Mix up enough paint for the whole of the wash as you will not have time to mix any more when you have started. (To get an idea of how much you will need for the area you have to cover, you could practise with plain water on a spare piece of paper.)
Tilt the top end of the board your paper is resting on up a few degrees to make the diluted paint run towards you. Fill a brush with paint: for a very large area you would need a large brush. Drag the brush carefully along the top edge of the paper, noticing a bead of paint that will build up on the nearest edge.
Now reload the brush and repeat the action, overlapping the bead edge of the last brushstroke. Continue down the paper like this until you have covered the area. Clean up the last bead of paint at the bottom with the end of the brush.
There are many variations of the basic wash and it is worth experimenting. Try graduating a wash by adding more and more clear water as you go down the paper (as the sky fades towards the horizon); or blend colours together gradually or sharply to give interesting sky effects sunsets, clouds, water, mist...
Wet into wet
This very soft, flowing technique relies on the action of wet washes of paint on the paper. You will need heavy paper to be able to do it.
Either flow two washes into another on dry paper, or wet the paper with clear water first and then try adding colours. They blend beautifully perfect for skies, water, reflections, misty hills and so on.
Wax-resist technique
This technique gives a softer, fuzzier look than masking fluid. Use an ordinary candle to draw on your painting: when you come to paint on those areas you have waxed, the paint will run off. (This cannot be rubbed off as masking fluid can, and may discolour in the future.)
Scratching out
Working on good-quality paper gives you access to this technique, as it has the strength and thickness to stand up to it.
To add sparkle to a picture, try scratching the painted paper carefully with a sharp knife. This will take off the surface and give you little touches of pristine white paper. If you do this in horizontal strokes you will find it useful for points of light on water. It will also enliven a flat area, or correct a small mistake. Do not overuse this technique, and do not try to overpaint as the surface has been removed and will now behave differently from the rest of the paper.
Another way of removing colour you have already applied is wiping out or blotting. Try this for soft cloud effects. Simply blot a wet sky wash with a paper tissue to remove some of the colour.
You can also use this technique where a colour has turned out too strong: just wet the area with clean water and blot some of the colour off. It will not work so well where you have used a staining colour such as Viridian Hue.
Framing Your Work
Water colours need to be framed behind glass to protect them form dust and damp. Remember not to hang your paintings in bright sunlight, or you find that some colours will fade.
More on Watercolor
Matting and Framing Works on Paper:
Often the most challenging and exciting framing and artwork presentation is of works created on paper. Because the ground--paper--is not substantial enough to stand alone (as is a canvas panel, a work on masonite, or stretched canvas), it requires special handling.
Watercolor is one of the most popular paper art forms, and because of the colors used in the paintings, it offers some of the most diverse opportunities for creative expression in matting and framing. Following are several comprehensive ideas for matting and framing different weights of watercolor paintings.
How to Choose Watercolor Paper (the following 4 tips were taken from an article by Tom Fong (published in the Artist's Magazine,) with the authors permission. The author is an artist and instructor living in Alhambra, California. He can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com):
1) A Tip For Beginners:
Practice and perfect laying washes down on cold-pressed paper before trying a more challenging surface. You'll get the most control and uniform responsiveness out of cold-pressed paper.
2) Rough Paper:
A textural effect is what you'll get when you paint on rough paper.
3) Advice to Experienced Artists:
As an artist you should learn to use all papers-and try a variety of brands. different papers vary in brightness and also in how they react. Try myriad techniques on different papers to get an idea of how the paper can help you achive your goals.
4) Hot Pressed Paper:
Hang onto your hat when you put a wash on hot-pressed paper-it's hard to control... I'd say it would be very suitable for two distinct kind of painters: 1) people who like to do fine drawing using a pen or a small brush working on dry paper, or 2) experimental painters who like to drop color on and tilt the paper, letting the paint reveal an image. I like to do abstracted flower images on hot-pressed paper.
Lightweight Watercolor Paper:
If heavy water and washes are used on paper weights such as 140 pound or lighter, the paper usually curls and buckles--it does not lie flat. Some artists, however, are not concerned with this fact. They simply choose their matting color, cut the mat, and frame the work, virtually ignoring any "pillowing" or "puffing" of the surface. This might work for some, but for others, a flat look is desired.
There are several ways to accomplish this flatness. One is very simple and straightforward. Lay the work out on a clean, flat surface; cover the completely dry work with another smooth, flat item--such as a sheet of old Plexiglas. Weight the covering heavily and let the artwork rest beneath this weight for a couple of days.
If this is less successful than you had hoped, very carefully and very lightly dampen the back side of the watercolor and repeat the process above. Wait a full two days before lifting off the weight and then plan to mat and frame the work immediately. The purpose of hurrying is to insure no atmospheric moisture is reabsorbed into the paper prior to framing.
A curious thing about paper is that it starts out a slurry (thick "soup") of fibers and water and then seems always willing to reaccept and hold moisture, ready at any opportunity to revert back to its original state. For this reason, once a work is dry, flat and smooth, it is advisable to get it framed quickly.
Medium Weight Watercolor Paper:
A paper with more weight, say 170 pound to 300 pound, is usually pretty flat upon completion of the drying stage of the work. These weights are the most commonly selected papers for watercolor, and the heaviest papers offer the best stability. They require no weighting and buckle little, even with heavy water applications. They can be easily hinged behind the mat, backed with an acid-free substrate, and framed. Even though the cost of the heavier papers, like 300 pound, is higher, they present the fewest mounting and framing challenges.
Heavyweight Watercolor Paper:
Double and triple thick sheets of watercolor paper will lie very flat, are very sturdy, and can handle an incredible amount of surface wash and water without the slightest bit of bowing. These are a delight to paint on because they are so stable. However, with all of the wonderful painting options come some negative aspects. The sheer weight of the paper makes it difficult to archivally mount and mat. One easy solution to the weight dilemma is to create what is called a "sink mat." This is a collar or edging placed around the perimeter of the watercolor that holds it in like a fence.
Begin by measuring the image area you wish to be visible. Always allow at least a 1/4 inch overlap around all edges of the work (1/2 inch is better). Next plan the width of matting you wish to surround the image. Cut an acid-free backing board the finished size. Place the art on this backing and use strips of material the same thickness as the artwork to "collar" the artwork in place. Glue the strips to the backing on all four sides around the artwork. The only step left is the cutting of the decorative matting that will surround the image in the frame. When it is cut, glue it to the strips and weight it overnight. What holds the work in place is the surround "collar," the backing, and the top decorative mats. The artwork is not glued down or taped down and will not slip out of place because it has no place to go; it is held tight. This is one of many archival mounting techniques that work very well with watercolor.
Color choices in current decorating trends indicate that more light mat colors are used, as top mats and border widths are wider than average. Drama and emphasis can often be accomplished by matting with very wide borders, especially on small works. Which colors to use should be dictated by the work itself. If the mats and frame match the colors in the work, it will be timeless. If you mat and frame to match the sofa, the work is not allowed to reach its full potential and it will never look its best. Let the artwork dictate color.
Framing is the final element in the presentation of watercolors. Contemporary works of almost any style go well in metal; and natural, realistic subjects look well in wood frames. Choosing a wood frame with a tone repeated in the work is wise because it will automatically tie the artwork to the frame and look very cohesive.
A Palette of Plenty:
""Use more paint!" This lesson had a sudden, dramatic impact on my technique. In the past, the conservative dabs of paint on my palette complemented the "light touch" of my work. One evening during a watercolor class, my instructor, Connie Tucker, squeezed what seemed like an excessive gush of precious ultramarine blue onto my palette for a sky wash I was about to start for my landscape painting. The result? a stunning sky backdrop and a stunned student who immediately learned to use more paint for deeper colors and livelier paintintings. Now I load my palette and brush with color so I paint with the intensity, power and contrast that create excitement and passion." Laura Scheper, Lexington, KY (The Artists Magazine, Feb. 04)
Let's end off with a wonderful note we saw from a watercolorist (Craig M. B., Las Cruces, NM) in Watercolor Magic Magazine: "Every year, I donate a few paintings to be hung in senior centers, public buildings... Not only does it feel good to use my talents for charitable purposes, I also gain exposure as an artist in the community. Plus at the end of the year, I can deduct the cost of the materials I used for these pieces on my income taxes."
The Flow factor
by David Pyle, The Artist's Magazine, Sept. 2005
Is watercolor best suited to tight detail or loose, gestural, expressive application? The answer is yes to both water-color is versatile because of a phenonomenon called hydrogen bonding. Without going all chemical on you, hydrogen bonding is why water forms into droplets when airborne. It's why bellyflops hurt (your front side has to force apart many hydrogen bonds.) It's why snowflakes form in such breathtakingly beautiful crystals. And it's why there's such a variety in the ways in which watercolor can be applied, from drybrush to washy applications.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy developed by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D. Originally, DBT was used to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, it has since been used to treat other mental illnesses with symptoms of emotional dysregulation, including eating disorders.
The word "dialectical" refers to the concept of being able to hold onto two seemingly different ideas at once. For instance, it is considered important in DBT for clients to accept themselves as they are and also to be motivated to change.
The components of DBT typically consist of individual therapy sessions, skills-training sessions (usually done in a group therapy setting) and telephone consultations as needed (available 24 hours a day). Unfortunately, many therapy settings are not able to provide for all three components at once. For instance, one therapist may offer a skills-training group but not be available for telephone consultations. An individual therapist may teach specific skills to clients based on their clinical judgment. This type of treatment may still be helpful but may not be as helpful as receiving all three components of the treatment. DBT has also been adapted for use in residential and inpatient treatment settings.
The skills-training component of DBT consists of four modules:
- Core Mindfulness Skills: Based on Eastern meditative practices, mindfulness skills encourage the client to fully experience the world around them, in the moment. Many therapists use this principle to treat eating disorders by teaching clients "mindful eating." This allows a person to fully experience the tastes and textures of their food and cultivate awareness of hunger and fullness signals.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills: The goal of this module is to teach people how to express their needs and set boundaries to build healthy relationships.
- Emotion Regulation Skills: These skills teach how to identify and name emotions, reduce vulnerability and decrease suffering.
- Distress Tolerance Skills: These are skills to help clients survive painful emotions when the situation cannot be changed in the moment.
Each skill is taught in a session and then throughout the following days or weeks clients keep track of situations in which they were able to practice each skill. Using diary cards, clients keep a record of urges, such as urges to use alcohol or drugs; urges to harm themselves; urges to restrict, exercise, binge and/or purge. In a telephone consultation, a therapist prompts the client to use a specific skill in the situation as needed.
Does Dialectical Behavior Therapy Work?
DBT is the first psychotherapy shown to be effective in treating BPD. Although results are promising for using DBT to treat eating disorders, the research consists mainly of case studies and studies that do not compare DBT to other treatments (or no treatment at all). One randomized controlled trial that compared DBT to active comparison group therapy for binge eating found no significant differences in outcomes (although both groups showed improvement).
The majority of research studies have been done on DBT and the treatment of binge-eating disorder and bulimia nervosa. There are no randomized controlled trials on the treatment of anorexia nervosa with DBT.
Who Is an Appropriate Candidate for Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
Given the current research on DBT and eating disorders, it is likely to be most helpful for people suffering from bulimia nervosa or binge-eating disorder. It is also likely to be helpful for clients who are suffering from BPD in addition to an eating disorder.

An ESPN news release Monday announced that Northwesterns high school football opener Aug. 23 against Gaffney will be aired online by ESPN3.
The rivals will kick off the season at District 3 Stadium as part of ESPNs High School Kickoff package of 13 games. ESPN3 is the networks online streaming service and is available from most Internet providers.
Paragon Marketing Group works with ESPN to put together its high school football schedule and had attempted to entice Northwestern into playing its Gaffney game at Byrnes on Saturday, Aug. 24 as part of a doubleheader. Athletic director Lauren West turned down the offer because it would have likely cost the Trojans a handsome home gate with a huge crowd expected for the opener at District 3. Byrnes hosts Apopka (Fla.) at noon on Saturday in a game that will be televised live on ESPN.
Adding to the intrigue of the Northwestern-Gaffney opener is early love shown to both teams from preseason state rankings. The Indians, the defending Class AAAA-DI state champs, are ranked fifth by High School Sports Report, while Northwestern, beaten Class AAAA-DII state finalists last season, came in at No. 3, behind Byrnes and Dutch Fork.
The Trojans opened the 2012 season with a shocking 49-19 beating of the Indians at the Reservation in Gaffney. Revenge will no doubt be on the minds of the Indians, who include a number of college prospects led by South Carolina commit Shaq Davidson.

Man mistakes chasing his children up the stairs shouting 'Raarrr!!!' for parenting
A father from Solihull has encountered a barrage of criticism after his long-suffering wife revealed that 'chasing the children up the stairs on all fours going 'Raarrr!!!' every evening' was his sole contribution to their upbringing. The nightly routine – which Dan Hurrell, 37, described as, 'Just a bit of fun, that's all' – has, after six years, finally driven his wife, Debbie, to breaking point.

|Not That Kind of Girl: A Memoir
Journalist Carlene Bauer reminisces upon her stumbling, skeptical attempts at religion and relationships in her book Not That Kind of Girl: A Memoir.
Carlene Bauer's family was slightly more religious than most, and she and her sister were educated at Christian schools up until they reached high school. She clung to religion throughout college, experimenting with new faiths at a time when her peers were experimenting with drugs and sex. But even as a child, she nursed a nagging suspicion that being religious didn't jibe with her intellectual ambitions, writing that she and her sister would always be "too good to be truly depraved and too worldly to keep away from the sinners."

How and when do students, parents, or guardians receive CAHSEE results?
Electronic results for the examination begin arriving in the school districts within eight weeks of each administration of the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE). The school districts are required to send one copy of the CAHSEE Student and Parent Report to the parent or guardian of each student who took the examination. Another copy is to be placed in the student's permanent record. This process occurs after each test administration.
Is it important that students, parents, or guardians keep a copy of the student report for their records?
Yes, students, parents, or guardians should keep a copy of the CAHSEE Student and Parent Report for their records. Since individual student scores are confidential, the California Department of Education (CDE) does not keep copies of individual student reports.
How are individual student results reported?
The CAHSEE Student and Parent Report shows the student's English–language arts (ELA) results on the left and mathematics results on the right. The top portion of each side includes a chart with the student's total scale score and the scale score required to pass. It also includes the "status" of whether or not the student passed the ELA or mathematics part of the exam. Below this chart is a bar graph that shows the student's scale score compared to the passing score and highest possible scale score. The bottom portion of the report shows the number of questions answered correctly for each strand of the content standards in ELA and mathematics tested with multiple-choice questions. The ELA section also shows the writing task score, which is scored on a scale of 1 to 4, with 4 being the highest score students can achieve.
What is a scale score?
Although all test forms of the CAHSEE assess the same California content standards adopted in 1997, each test form contains different questions. Therefore, one test form may be slightly more difficult or slightly easier than another. Scale scores account for differences in the difficulty of test questions, thus equalizing the variations in test difficulty across different administrations. Scale scores used for the CAHSEE range from 275 to 450. A scale score of 350 or higher is necessary to pass each part of the CAHSEE.
Who sees individual student score reports?
Only students, parents or guardians, and authorized district personnel see individual student score reports.
What happens if students do not pass the CAHSEE?
Grade eleven students may take the CAHSEE up to two times per school year for the part(s) of the exam not previously passed. Grade twelve students may take the CAHSEE at least three times but not more than five times during the 2013–14 school year. The CAHSEE testing schedule through the 2013–15 school years is posted on the CDE CAHSEE Administrative Documents Web page. Districts select their testing dates from this schedule.
What instructional support is available to students who do not pass the CAHSEE?
School districts are to provide extra instruction to help students who do not pass the CAHSEE. Programs may be offered during the summer, before or after school, on Saturday, or between semesters. Students who have not passed one or both parts of the CAHSEE by the end of grade twelve, may contact their school or school district to ask about options available to them. Options may include a fifth year of study, summer school, adult education, or independent study.
What options do students with disabilities have to satisfy the CAHSEE requirement?
Eligible students with disabilities with an active individualized education program (IEP) or Section 504 plan can satisfy the CAHSEE requirement by:
- passing the examination,
- meeting the exemption requirement pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 60852.3,
- receiving a local waiver pursuant to EC Section 60851(c)(1), or
- receiving a streamlined waiver of EC Section 60851
Information for students with disabilities can be found on the CDE Students with Disabilities – CAHSEE Waivers and Exemptions Web page.
How can parents or guardians get their questions answered about the CAHSEE and/or their child's results?
Additional information about the CAHSEE is located on CDE CAHSEE Web page. Parents or guardians should first direct their questions about the CAHSEE, including their child's results, to their child's teachers. They may also contact the school principal or counselor.
Also, see the Explanatory Notes for the CAHSEE Student and Parent Report for more information.

Top DC Obama donor to Democrats: Stop the class warfare
Original post made by jimf01 on Jul 12, 2012
"What I get concerned about is the message from the Obama campaign that we only want someone who has not been successful to run for president. What do we want here? You can't be successful and run the country? We don't want somebody who has been successful to run it? That doesn't make sense," Peebles said.
Web Link
Peebles is one of the latest in a line of Obama supporters who have opposed the Democrats on this point. Comedian Jon Lovitz said it, originally as a bit in a comedy routine. But when he was criticized by the left, he repeated the message, making a serious point on CNN: "I believed in him, I agreed with everything he was saying when he ran for president, I was listening to what he said, I thought this guy thinks like me and I agree with him. And now he's changing. This whole idea of this 1 percent versus the 99 percent, it's a false statistic,' said Lovitz, adding that Obama was 'creating a false class warfare' with his policies and rhetoric. "
A false statistic, indeed, as a study National Tax Journal from researchers at Cornell University has shown. Yes, the very rich did exceptionally well, mostly due to technology and globalization. Incomes rose 63% for the top 5%, 56% for the top 10% and 52.6% for the top 20%. But everyone else made out pretty well, too. Incomes rose 40.4% for households between the 60th and 80th percentiles, 36.9% for the next quintile, 25.0% for the next, and 26.4% for the bottom 20%. There's the "shared prosperity" Obama says he wants, right in front of his eyes. (Indeed, the study finds, income inequality has actually been shrinking since 1989, with the Gini index falling to 0.362 from 0.372.) Web Link

The worst-off Americans have seen their incomes rise by 20% under Obama ??? That's unaccpetable and unastainable !!! It's time the crossdressing union lying cheats to be exposed ! ! ! Don't they know that there's a Great Recession going on !!!
on Jul 12, 2012 at 10:37 am
Here's lying cross-dresser again today, now calling herself Oblivious to all. How ORIGINAL !!! (she has to work within limits given her) And, stealing 'cross-dresser' from yesterday, in her feeble attempt to create a phony scenario.....Sooo diminishes her childish chatter. However, her diversion tactics don't work !
Now back to the topic.
Thanks Jimf01, for the web link from the African-American who held a
$15,000. per plate fundraiser for Obama LAST time. Now is upset at
the Obama's current attack American success campaign. He's proud to be successful. Thanks for sharing, and SO glad 'Oblivious' caught my eye, making this thread obvious to me, providing an opportunity to read that article, I would have otherwise missed. Thus, giving me a chance to comment. I'll be sure to pass it along also.
on Jul 12, 2012 at 10:47 am
Phony scenarios won't distract us true intelligentsia from jimf01's FACTS that Americans's income rose between 26% and 63% UNDER Obama ! ! ! Maybe some cross-dressers don't find that's a INCOMVENIENT truth !!! It doesn't matter how much childish chatter, so why do these cross-dressers make me confused about my feelings ??? It's part of a UNION fraud, that's why !! Lying cheats who divert from my IPO and make diversions and stealing !!!

In his most recent Kickstarter video update,… Read More

Xbox 360 'Kinect Effect' fades as console market declines

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut's two Indian-run casinos say revenue dropped in December, a month after Foxwoods Resort Casino broke a losing streak with a slight rise in revenue and the Mohegan Sun posted a tiny decline.
Foxwoods said Wednesday revenue declined nearly 15 percent, to $37.6 million compared with $44.2 million in December 2012. Revenue is the share of wagers the casino keeps, and betting was down 21 percent, to $431.5 million. Foxwoods is run by the Mashantucket Pequots.
Mohegan Sun reported Wednesday that revenue fell about 8 percent, to $45.9 million. Wagering fell by 7 percent, to $570.6 million.
Foxwoods Chief Executive Scott Butera said the numbers are what executives expected. He says bad weather and Christmas accounted for fewer customers.
The two casinos face intense competition in the Northeast and a weak economy.

There has been plenty of rubbish talked about the use of marijuana over the years.

4.68/5 rDev +3.8%
Enjoyed out of a green 750 mL bottle with a cork & cage topper and a bottling date marked on the back label of Jun 26th, 2013. Poured into a Boulevard Smokestack Series tulip glass.
Appearance - Gentle pour so as not to disturb the sediment and yeast likely coating the bottom of the bottle still yields a fluffy pink head with ample pocking and foamy mountains and valleys. Beneath the foam lies a beautiful lava red body that is just slightly hazy, with ruby-like shading giving it a jewel-like effect. The head dissipates after a few minutes, leaving just sparse, spotty lacing.
Smell - There is a fantastically pungent oaky, wood characteristic emanating from this beer. I don't think I've ever smelled a woody smell that was quite so intoxicating and wonderful. Alongside the oak tannins are the acidic fruity notes of ripe raspberries and sour cherries punctuating the amazing barrel characteristics. There's an underlying tartness that I expect to blow me away when I take my first drink.
Taste - As expected, there is mouth-puckering sourness and acidity that rides on on the bed of the raspberries and cherries along with a nicely contrasting vinous quality from the barrels. Oak tannins and musty funk are present as well with the fruity sweet and sour characteristics.
Mouthfeel - Light bodied and moderate carbonation, with a high level of mouth puckering and an arid dry finish that leaves your tastebuds longing for another sip.
Overall, this is quite possibly the second best fruit lambic I've ever enjoyed, behind only Cantillon's Fou' Foune. They are hard to compare to one another due to the different fruits utilized, but this one is outstanding, with aggressive notes of oak and funk alongside a fantastically ripe raspberry element. It's too bad this bottle costs so much and is only produced ever several years, because it is truly amazing.

2007 vintage.
A: Reddish pink color with a sparkling pink head that settles quickly.
S: A great smell, clean and well defined. Great aromas of tart raspberries and cherries. The fruitiness is very pleasant, acidic, genuine and pulpy. Some gentle funky notes. Grass, earth and yeast - the usual lambic suspects are present but subdued due to the fresh fruitiness.
T: The taste follows suit with a beautiful fruit character of semi-sweet and tart raspberries and cherries. Pleasant acidic character all the way. The fruits are just unbelievably well defined and rich. Notes of grass, dusty cellar, earth and just a hint of funky wet hay. Fruit pits, some barrel notes. The finish is very dry and rather sparkling with a nice sourness and lingering fruit aromas. A very gentle, well balanced and pleasant taste.
M: Medium body, gentle yet active carbonation.
D: This is a fantastic beer. Great, razor sharp fruit profile and clean flavors. Good balance between the fruits and the rustic lambic flavors. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Bottle shared amongst BA's for one of the most ridiculous "lunch's" at the Torst opening!
Poured side by side by side with 2012 Blabaer and 2005 Fou foun.
Bottle poured a deep cherry red. Nose was straight up raspberry jam. A delicate balance between cheese funk, sweetness from the raspberry and tartness. By far the most complex out of the three bottles we had. Although well balanced flavors, all of the flavors were explosive.

Bottled shared with BA woosterbill and friends during lunch at the 3F restaurant. Cheers, Will! Bottled Feb 14 2007
A - Pours a slightly hazy brown/red with minimal head, but a persistent collar.
S - Slight plasticy aroma precedes a a huge raspberry and cherry aroma. Pretty funky with an intense tartness to the aroma. Also a bit of raspberry jam sweetness, but very subtle compared to the tart aromas.
T - Taste starts out with intensely sour raspberries. Pretty significant funk in the middle with a bit of vinegar. No sweetness in the taste whatsoever. Only a very slight plastic taste initially that quickly fades away. Weird and utterly enjoyable.
M - Medium mouthfeel, a bit acetic, with some earthy dryness.
O - Definitely one of the most interesting beers I've ever had. Nice acidity and fruit presence, though the slight plastic presence is distracting. Still, very enjoyable in small quantities.

Pours a deep, reddish purple like the color of cherries. An inch of pink infused cream colored head that holds pretty well. Head remains at the surface and a thick collar. Fair legs, and poor lacing. Aroma is a ton of cherry and an odd funk. Smells almost like cherry cough medicine. Taste is lightly tart, rich raspberry more than cherry flavor, and an oakiness. Medium body and high carbonation, with a fruit-like stickiness to the mouthfeel. Great beer, but the slight cough syrup-like quality is off putting in the aroma and flavor.

Beautiful clear ruby red color with a white head that sits atop it. Head falls gracefully until it just sticks around the glass. Aroma is largely of raspberries, but almost like a very light raspberry. I mean that in the sense that it isn't the over the top flavor and slight astringency one would get from actually eating a raspberry, it's more like a raspberry juice was used. There's also some definite cheesy notes in this that I find a bit distracting; various barnyard funk notes are also perceptible, but hidden beneath to me, which is unfortunate. Taste is another story, I actually enjoy it qutie a bit. Same thing again with the raspberry taste, there's no slightly astringent, kick-you-in-the-face raspberry flavor that I love, but it is enjoyable. Lactic tartness is one of the other things that comes right to the forefront, followed by some very pleasing funkiness. If this funkiness and/or the raspberries were a touch stronger, this beer would be much better, especially if some of the cheesy notes were no longer coming through in the nose. About medium carbonation with a decent body on the tongue, followed by a nice dry finish. A good beer that I'd surely have another of, however, price and availability do limit that.

Dirty red and light brown pour, pink head, good retention, pretty nice. Very funky, wet leathery, musty cherry aroma. Seemed like it was a bunch of red fruits, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb? The musty, funkiness is the most I've ever encountered, and I liked it, especially considering that I generally don't like a bunch of musty-like qualities in the lambics and wilds I drink, but for whatever reason, this one kind of opened me up to it being a desireable quality for a lambic to possess.
Substantial amount of fruit flavor, sour and tartness immediately noticeable upon the first sip. Really turned off a beer noob at the tasting, so you know it was damn fine.
Very enjoyable, would love to drink it side by side with O'Dell's Friek. They both seem to have raspberry forward thing going, but some other red fruits as well, nice fruit and sour components. The obvious main difference between them being how clean friek is, whereas hommage comes off just grimy and musty, but both beers are great for what they bring to the table.
Thanks to jh1982 for bringing this whale to the party.

Bottle purchased in the Netherlands. Beer poured a clear, deep red color with a slight pink head into my Cantillon glass. The head receeded quickly. The aroma was strong upon popping the cork, vibrant framboise, a bit funky and tart as well. The raspberry taste was lovely and fresh tasting. What you would expect for a true version of the style. Some oaky notes as well. Overall a well rounded and damn fine beer that I wish I had more often but it is to be savored.

Review from notes. Shared with Paul at Brouwers. Bottle dated February 14th, 2007.
A: Pours a clear, light red color with slight brown coloration to it. Some bubbles formed upon pouring, but are gone quickly, leaving a thin white ring on top.
S: Smells fantastic, tons of vibrant raspberry and strawberry. Didn't want to call it jammy, since most people do, but it really is the best descriptor for the beer. It has a nice sour/tartness as well as a bit of funk and must.
T: Wow, bursting with fruit flavor. The raspberries are really fresh mixed with some sour cherry and a bit of strawberry as well. The fruit is mixed with a nice funk that sort of comes off as light hay/mustiness.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Fantastic level of tartness.
O: Easily one of the best beers I have had. Was hard not to drink it down too quickly. Didn't expect the fruit to taste as fresh considering it is six years old.

A friend bought a bottle (Batch 2) for us to split because of all the great things that we had read about it. Wow was i disappointed with this beer from start to finish.
The color was a nice hued red which invites a test fully expecting the raspberries and cherries. I struggled to find any raspberry in the flavor instead i was overwhelmed with a very artificial tasting cherry which left a bad aftertaste. It was syrup taste instead of a fresh bitter cherry flavor and i expected more of a natural flavor, especially for the price point.
I am a fan of Lambic's but nothing about this beer worked for me.

Pours candy pink, with pinkish-white cloudy big head. Smells funky, alcohol though low, penetrates the nose. Great mouthfeel,the sourness is there but well delivered without being over the toip (moderated by oak) raspberries lambic bullseyes the style. Satisfying aftertaste. Oh so drinkable.

Thanks to hoppymcgee (Greg) for sharing this one. Opened at a tasting 5/29/10. 4oz. pour from a 750ml corked and caged wine bottle into a snifter. Reviewed from notes.
A: Pours a 1/2 finger fine white head that dissipates quickly. Beer is a stunning semi-clear red. Lacing is spotty with no cling.
S: Sweet and tart raspberries. Oaky and funky undertones. Like a "wheel of cheese queefed some framboise into my beer". Sweat and alcohol in the back. Mmmm... delicious.
T: Fruit sweetness upfront with a reverse tartness: starts off soft but builds and gets more and more sour as it sits in the mouth. Pronounced raspberries are able to separate themselves from the tartness though. Spicy in the back with a messy, red fruit finish that ends abruptly. Aftertaste is pleasantly clean.
M: Medium bodied, great carbonation, and very lively in the mouth. Dry at the finish but with a clean aftertaste.
D: What separates Belgian lambics from their American counterparts is the immense amount of complexity that separates itself from the funk, wood, and earth that are present as a result of the bacteria. This is a prime example. An amazing beer that really shows off European fruit lambic handywork. Outstanding. Definitely give this a try if its ever available.

A truck driver has pleaded not guilty to charges in connection with a crash that killed an Illinois Tollway worker and injured a state trooper.
An attorney entered the plea Monday for 46-year-old Renato V. Velasquez of Hanover Park on Monday in a DuPage County courtroom. Velasquez faces multiple felony charges, including driving while fatigued and falsifying truck driving logs.
The Interstate 88 crash killed maintenance worker Vincent Petrella and critically injured Trooper Douglas Balder. The two were helping a disabled truck at the time of the late January crash near Aurora.
Balder's wife attended Monday's hearing as did many of her husband's fellow troopers. Illinois State Police Capt. Patrick Kimes says Balder is still in intensive care.
Velasquez's next court appearance is scheduled for April 14.
