Jamie Waylett, the tubby bloke who played Draco Malfoy's sidekick Vincent Crabbe in six of the Harry Potter films is now facing charges stemming from his involvement in this summer's London riots. Police say they found a bomb and 15 marijuana plants in his room. The 22-year-old served 120 hours of community service after being busted for growing marijuana back in 2009 and it has been alleged by authorities that Waylett armed himself with a Molotov cocktail back in August with the intent to set some shit on fire.
Think "selfies" were limited to teenagers at the mall food court, drunk girls at bars and an alarming amount of people in bathrooms? Broaden your scope to include law enforcement with Cop Selfies, which sadly also include plenty of toilet shots:
And even one with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger.
Possibly more depressing than the fact that police make duckfaces, too? The Rich Kids of Instagram, what started as a blog highlighting the hashtagged lives of the young and privileged, are reportedly getting their own show.
Start jogging in place to raise those endorphins, because your mood is LIT'RALLY going to plummet when you hear this news: Pawnee's Chris Traeger and Ann Perkins are leaving our lives as Rob Lowe and Rashida Jones will be exiting Parks and Rec mid-way through the upcoming sixth season. The hot-and-cold couple decided to make a baby in last season's finale, so hopefully we'll get to see Chris obsess over Ann and the baby's health — I shudder to think about the gargantuan prenatal vitamin he'll force down poor Ann Perkin's throat — and the subsequent birth of the most attractive baby ever.
What angsty teen didn't grow up with Daria, worshiping Ms. Morgendorffer's monotonous snark, too-cool-for-school edge and perfect Doc Martins? Well, 10 years later, Daria's back (NOT REALLY), in the flesh, for a Lawndale High reunion, in this faux movie trailer:
Ellen DeGeneres is hosting the Oscars! The funnylady, a 100 percent upgrade from last year's host, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarland, confirmed the news on Twitter:
Everybody is happy about this because everybody obviously loves Ellen, except probably One Million Moms, who can all eat one million dicks for all I care. GO ELLEN.
The Doctor is in — Peter Capaldi will replace Matt Smith in Doctor Who, making him the 12th actor to portray The Doctor on the show, the longest-running sci-fi series. Capaldi is best known for his role on the British political satire The Thick of It (which inspired HBO's Veep), which is available on Hulu. He steps in front of the camera as Doctor No. 12 this fall.
Time Warner Cable users have even more to complain about than usual as the provider has dropped CBS and Showtime "due to outrageous demands for programming." This blackout does not result in a price cutback for customers and it especially sucks for people who just recently got into Ray Donovan.
Hey, Mumford & Sons have a new music video. Something look a little off to you?
Comedy Central Roasts are generally reserved for washed up celebs and veteran comics, but the network is gonna try something new with the Roast of James Franco. Hosted by BFF Seth Rogen, the roast is sure to draw in an even bigger, younger audience. Yes, we all love it when Seth and James get together (see: the last decade), but the real laughs will come when the seasoned roasters sink their teeth in ole Franco.
There are two types of people who spend too much time on the Internet. People who troll comments, who need to have their toenails removed one by one, and people who do this, who should be showered in champagne.
can be dangerous. Tebowing is just plain dumb. If there's one viral Internet
pose I can sign off on, it's Draping.
Fashioned after Don Draper's iconic pose in the Mad Men intro, Draping has infiltrated the interwebs! This is all in anticipation for Sunday's long-awaited two-hour season premiere. Read more about that here.
Like many fun Internet bits I stumble upon, Drinkify is a really simple site that has that cool, "Why didn't I think of that?" factor. Just enter the artist you're listening to (or plan to that night), and Drinkify matches a perfect beverage to match. Vampire Weekend = PBR, Sleigh Bells = 10 oz. Whiskey ("Serve neat.") and, because I was curious, Justin Bieber = 8 oz. Red Bull.
Anyone who knows my television habits is fully aware of my love for Bravo shows. I know, it's an abomination, but sometimes you just want a Taco Bell bean burrito instead of a fresh-cooked meal, and sometimes I want to watch Real Housewives instead of quality television. It keeps me grounded.
The latest gem Bravo has bestowed upon us: Shahs of Sunset, a reality show (duh) about a wealthy group of Persians in Beverly Hills. Don't hate me. The following is one of many internet rants from Shahs' hottest piece, Reza (NSFW). I'll never look at Parmesan cheese the same way again.
The award for web video series that will make you snort aloud, revealing that you're screwing around at work goes to...Bad Lip Readings! I'm late on this, I know, but damn if these stupid videos aren't hilarious. Unfortunately Rick Santorum's real words are just as ridiculous as the ones dubbed in this video.
One could not recap recent internet/popular news without mentioning KNOYGATE. Though anyone reading this has access to the Internet and therefore has probably been bombarded with the progressing stories on Kony, allow me to briefly explain.
Joseph Kony is the head of a Ugandan guerilla group that terrorizes the country, murdering villages, kidnapping children from their homes and turning them into soliders. He's an international villain, and filmmaker/activist Jason Russell has made it his mission to stop him. Russell created the film-turned-movement Invisible Children after spending time in Uganda. The movie's been around since 2006, but Russell recently started an internet campaign, KONY 2012, to spread awareness about the injustice in Uganda.
The video flooded Facebook walls, news sites and Twitter Feeds like wildfire. It was particularly popular with younger people, because the video targeted American youth, explaining that if enough people know who Kony is, we can get our government to do something about him. That translates to "Young people can make a difference," which is totally a good thing. Kids have been infiltrating malls, sharing KONY 2012 stickers and bracelets to spread awareness. But some people started to get concerned.
See, it's obviously great that young people are concerned about international injustice. But fad activism isn't just annoying; following an organization you don't previously research is dumb – and re-posting a YouTube video doesn't make you an activist.
Soon after the video went viral came speculation about Russell and Invisible Children. Because, you know, some people like to look into an organization before blindly accepting its cause. Turns out just a little over one-third of the non-profit's funds went to direct services in Uganda, in addition to countless examples of fishiness. Most funding was spent on travel expenses and film production. So the people who were critical about the whole KONY viral vid weren't just being dicks after all.
Then, something crazy happened. Literally.
Jason Russell lost his shit. Last week, Russell ran around naked, shouting obscenities on a sidewalk in San Diego. He was arrested, but not charged, and sent to a hospital on a 5150 psychiatric hold. Most recently, he has been diagnosed with "reactive psychosis" brought on by stress, dehydration and exhaustion.
All this, in a matter of weeks! Really, I don't mean to make light of an international war criminal and an activist's state of health, but this story has brought up more drama than any soap opera could dream. And that's why I love the Internet.
Former Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh died in his Chicago hotel room Sunday. Chicago police spokesperson Laura Kubiak said that there is nothing to indicate foul play at this time and the cause of death is undetermined pending autopsy results. Weezer posted a message on its website, calling Welsh's time with the band "vital, essential, wild and amazing."

Charlie Sheen has proudly taken all of our money after watching his public meltdown, shitty comic routines and buying his stupid T-shirts.
Sheen on Thursday told Jay Leno that he was actually "losing" during his breakdown and that he "thought I could come back … kind of like you did." Sheen says that he has no grudge against the producers of Two and a Half Menand that "I'd have fired my ass, too." He even said that if he were to meet new member of the cast Ashton Kutcher, he'd "just give him a hug and say, 'Make me proud, dude.' "
The 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards took place Sunday night. Each year I get excited for
this one awards show dedicated to television, and every year I forget how
boring and predictable it usually is.
First off, there is no booze served at the Emmys (unlike
the drink-friendly Golden Globes which honor TV and film), and that just puts a
damper on everything. Pre-show red carpet interviews have to be one of the most
uncomfortable interactions ever (I swear one E! douche bag actually said, "I don't really
care, 'cause we're dudes, but it's my thing tonight — Who are you wearing?"
Gag.) — stars need some hooch to make it all OK.
Then there are the clear academy favorites that are continually nominated year after year for no apparent reason — Can't we all agree Big Bang Theory lacks any real humor or geek cred? But I suffer through the Emmys just in case there's a redeeming wardrobe malfunction or surprise winner.

Triple Take: Predicting the winners — and the scores
10 Comments · Posted by ryantipps in General, Triple Take
The Framingham-Ithaca game is one of our first-round toss-up picks.
Framingham State athletics photo
For 32 teams across the country, the regular season has built up to this weekend and, if their hopes play out, more weekends to come. They now have the chance to prove their worth on the national stage.
D3football.com's coverage will be going strong over the next few weeks, and that began with our 32-team capsules, one of the cornerstones of our postseason reporting. They offer insight on how to tell if a team is playing well or poorly, along with how far into the bracket we think each team can make it. We also took a long-view look at who might surprise and disappoint by the time the first three rounds are in the books.
The week's features culminate with Triple Take, which we do a little differently for the postseason. From now until the second weekend in December, Pat Coleman, Keith McMillan and Ryan Tipps will not only pick the winners of games in Triple Take, but we'll also project the scores. It's a transparent test of our perceptions week in and week out. (And we each make our picks independently.)
Ryan's take: Mount Union 63, Washington and Jefferson 10

Pat's take: Mount Union 63, Washington and Jefferson 6

Ryan's take: Linfield 31, Pacific Lutheran 10
Keith's take: Linfield 20, Pacific Lutheran 14
Pat's take: Linfield 51, Pacific Lutheran 27
Consensus: Linfield, but the style of game up for debate.

Underrated: "What Hurts Him Is [That] He Comes Off Like He's Full Of Himself"
Thursday, Sep 15, 2011 12:14AM
[Double Take: This week, SOHH allows entertainment personalities to give a fresh perspective on a critically-acclaimed artist whom, despite their demonstrated success, may possess a trait that's unappreciated by the masses. After Kurupt gave the title to Eminem earlier this week, AKOO Clothing marketing director Jeff Belizaire now crowns Diddy as SOHH Underrated.]
This is how I've been feeling lately. I heard Diddy and Dirty Money's entire album for the first time a few weeks ago. It's probably the best album I've heard this year. I know a lot of people didn't really stick to it because Puff was attached to it and I didn't listen to it because Puff was attached to it. But it's an incredible album.
So I think Puff will probably be my first answer for SOHH Underrated. I'm just going to go out on a limb and say Diddy put out a classic album. I think Diddy and that album were very underrated. I'm not sure what the numbers did but I know that within the industry, the people I know, nobody was trying to take it seriously or take him seriously.
I think what hurts him in terms of being underrated is [that] he comes off like he's full of himself. I think the power of celebrity isn't as powerful as it once was. I think today, more now than ever, people are rooting for the underdogs. It's a growing trend and it's [highlighted] in shows like "American Idol" and "America's Got Talent." It's about empowering people who wouldn't normally get the opportunity to get that stage. That effect is causing the folks that have that access and can exploit it and boast about it to seem like a**holes.
So that's why I think people don't take Diddy or even Dirty Money, the project, very seriously. That's the reason I didn't take it seriously.
Jeff Belizaire is the marketing director of rap star T.I.'s Akoo Clothing fashion line. Akoo Clothing is a new Americana fashion brand that manufactures a large variety of upscale urban apparel for men. Akoo produces a wide array of styles for all seasons that include premium lightweight T-Shirts, cardigans, sweaters, embroidered wovens, leather jackets and quality denim among a variety of other clothing.

Town Square
Danville officials open sandbag station
Original post made on Dec 27, 2013

I'm curious to know how much this costs the tax payers. It sounds like there is a surplus of $$$ and in the theory of "use it or lose it" (regarding the budget) city officials have chosen to spend it on something completely irrelevant. I'm sure there are better ways to spend that $$$. Fix a pot hole, replace a street light, add crosswalk yield lights to more streets that intersect with the Iron Horse Trail. I think Home Depot and ACE Hardware can take care of our sand bag needs.
on Dec 27, 2013 at 10:23 am
Tracy, you are so right...The so called leaders in the town council are self serving idiots. Sand bags, The town council and the brain dead City manager are funny people, they make me laugh.
Thanks for listening, Julia Pardini from Alamo...
PS...Every morning I wake up I thank the wonderful folks in Alamo for never voting Alamo as a City. And believe there were a lot of self serving idiots waiting to become "leader's' of our nice quite town.
on Dec 27, 2013 at 10:34 am
Ladies-- the reason we need sandbags is because the Town has approved project after project over the years, covering the soil with impermeable surfaces. Those surfaces cannot absorb rainwater, so it runs off into the roads and then into the creeks, swelling them to levels that flood other people's properties downstream. Case in point: the SummerHill 69+-home project in the Diablo Road area. All the downstream creek-side properties (every one of them until the San Ramon Creek in downtown Danville is reached!) are in FEMA Flood Zones! Right now, with even minor storms, peoples' properties are being flooded and eroded. After SummerHill, the problem will be worse.
So Danville's government is fully aware of the flooding and erosion issues, and approves more and more development nonetheless. And that is why the Tonw is "thoughtfully" providing sandbags. What a way to run a Town! I certainly agree with Julia---that Town Council needs to be VOTED OUT!

Gone is the "low-hanging fruit" of years past when the media converged on the University of Texas-San Antonio campus each year to produce titillating stories on students exchanging Bibles and Qurans for porn.
The annual "Smut for Smut" event is no more. In its place are kinder, gentler atheists, in the form of the Secular Student Alliance. The group says it wants conversation, not provocation, and will not revert to its old ways.
Replacing the saucier stories and the reporters behind them is San Antonio Express-News Godbeat pro Abe Levy. He revisited the topic for a Sunday piece on a topic that has gained a lot of headlines — much of them sensational – in recent years.
But times have changed.
This semester, Atheist Agenda renamed itself the Secular Student Alliance, one of 402 groups affiliated with an Ohio-based umbrella organization of the same name. The makeover underscores a national trend in which secular humanist groups have been dropping edgy, insult-minded strategies for more welcoming ones.
The change wasn't just conscience-based, however. The story quotes one former member who said the old approach would entice people to the group's meetings only to turn them off.
The strategy is now paying off for the Secular Student Alliance, apparently:
Meetings now attract people of diverse interests, including those affiliated with a religion but seeking a place to question or doubt without conditions, leaders said.
The new group is awaiting approval as a registered UTSA student organization. But weekly recruiting efforts already reflect a kinder bunch of people.
At a small table in the central campus this week, they passed out fliers challenging the ideologies of major world religions. Alliance president Charles Duncan smiled pleasantly and, in an even-handed tone, spoke of how science and reason was a suitable basis for human charity.
"We're out here just promoting the values of humanism. You can be moral in the absence of religion," said Duncan, 24, who in 1997 prayed for Christian salvation during a Billy Graham sermon at the Alamodome and officially came out as an atheist two years ago. "Our goal now is to, instead of inciting hostility, we want to engage in civil dialogue."

The number of people in Levy County's labor force grew in September by 23 to 16,431 from 16,408 in August.
But at the same time, 70 of those people people found jobs lowering the county's jobless rate to 13.3 percent from 13.6 in August.
Debbie Murphy has joined the Williston Pioneer Sun-News as its advertising representative serving Williston, Morriston Gainesville and part of Marion County.
Murphy is no stranger to the area–in 2008 she worked at the Chiefland Citizen and most recently has worked at our sister papers in Ocala.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at That & That Home Furnishings, 10 S.W. 7th St., Williston. The family owned and operated store features new and used quality furniture, antiques, collectibles, appliances and more. The store is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and can be reached at 528-0320.
The owners of Hoseline Inc., one of three companies that manufactures air conditioning and heating units for emergency vehicles and handcart units used by troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, won final approval for a change to the county's land use plan and a zoning change for a facility in Williston.
The family-owned company requested a change in the Levy County Future Land Use Plan for 10.58 acres on County Road 316 and U.S. Highway 27 from urban low density residential use to commercial use.
When Central Florida Electric Cooperative holds its annual meeting, it's nothing like the stuffy affairs held by some corporations, or even the ones that feature a proxy fight.
The members who own the co-op greet each other as if they are at a family reunion.
Whole families come, even bringing babies that are just weeks old.
It's a democratic affair as customers question the management then stick around for a raffle that features cash prizes, gift cards and merchandise.
The Levy County Public Library System (LCPLS) is pleased to announce the formation of a library cooperative among Putnam County, Levy County and the Alachua Public Library District. The new cooperative is named the PAL Public Library Cooperative.

The environmental impact of the proposed nuclear plant in Levy County could hit Robert Smith hardest. Once it is built, Smith will live 6,800 feet behind the buildings that will house two nuclear reactors.
Levy County was well represented at the 5th Annual Pure Water Wilderness Tourism Summit held Sept. 14 in Pine Grove Baptist Church.
Chambers of Commerce from Bronson, Cedar Key, Chiefland, Fanning Springs and Williston involved with the Tri-County Chamber Coalition, which worked with Pure Water Wilderness to help approximately 100 people to hear methods to rev the economic engine of tourism here.
When the Deepwater Horizon started spilling oil into the Gulf of Mexico you could almost feel the fear among folks in Cedar Key whose livings depend on tourism and seafood.
While no oil has reached Levy County and seafood purveyors are battling to win back public confidence in the area's pristine products– most of which are shipped out of the area– tourism that is measured by heads in beds is doing fine.
It will be in the first quarter of 2010 before Progress Energy can assess the full scope of where it stands on two proposed nuclear power plants in Levy County
Carla Groleau, community relations manager for the utility, told Williston Rotarians Tuesday that there has been a shift in scheduling but the company is hoping for a realignment early in the new year.
The combined operating license, issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is next on Progress Energy's scheduled timeline, she said.

The FBI announced last week that criminal indictments had been issued for three people associated with a group of rogue antimalware products known collectively as "WinFixer." If you've ever tried to clean XPAntivirus, Antivirus 2008, or VirusRemover 2008 off a hapless user's system, you've come face-to-face with a WinFixer infection.
Microsoft's Digital Crimes Unit claims credit for a piece of the action. Associate General Counsel Tim Cranton says Microsoft "helped provide data to the FBI on damages caused by the scheme. We also testified before the grand jury to provide forensic analysis on the malware involved."
[ Microsoft has a long history of WinFixer problems. Robert McMillan explains one ongoing source of embarrassment: how Microsoft itself helped disseminate WinFixer by inadvertantly supplying redirector links from Microsoft.com. | Also on InfoWorld: Learn how to secure your systems with Roger Grimes' Security Adviser blog and Security Central newsletter. ]
The three accused scummeisters, Bjorn Daniel Sundin (a Swedish citizen, believed to currently be in Sweden), Shaileshkumar "Sam" P. Jain (a U.S. citizen believed to be in the Ukraine), and James Reno (of Amelia, Ohio) are no strangers to the legal system.
Sundin and Jain were, respectively, the CEO and CTO of Innovative Marketing, a company shut down by the Federal Trade Commission in December 2008, for violating U.S. consumer protection laws, ascribable in no small part to the proclivities of WinFixer. Various Web registration trails for WinFixer and Innovative Marketing lead to Honduras, Belize, and the Ukraine. Jain's already a fugitive: He was arrested in 2008 for selling counterfeit copies of Symantec Antivirus products; he skipped out on $250,000 bail and failed to show up for court in January 2009.

As we've seen with the recent devastation from Superstorm Sandy, surging seas and rising waters can be a menace to even the most modern city. While scientists and politicians debate rising ocean levels, some designers are already thinking about how to build modern home designs for their regular occurrence.
Perhaps no one knows better how to prepare for high seas than the Dutch, who have been living below sea level for hundreds of years (and who happen to have a pretty cool design sense to boot). Their solution? Floating homes.
Pictured above and at the top of this post, the floating Dutch village of Steigereiland has a crisp modern design aesthetic with a normal community feel.
Design studio Waterstudio has design concepts for artificial islands, sea trees and more, but the amphibious Villa de Hoef (pictured below) will more than suit most family's needs:
The designs do have "curb" appeal, but how do they look on the inside? Well, the Watervilla by +31 Architects is a house boat in Amsterdam that, despite it's small finprint, has a generous and light feel inside.
The decor combines simple contemporary and mid-century elements. Modern furniture featuring acrylics, thick woods and minimalist forms is a great way to achieve this look in your own home.

Use of modern recessed lighting helps to keep sight lines unobstructed and the limited floor space unfettered.
There's no way to undo the damage from recent storms and our hearts go out to those affected. Thankfully, as designers and architects continue to look at ways to curb the affects of storms and sea levels, we can look forward to such damage being mitigated in the years to come.

We're going extra modern today, guys. We're talking robots. This movie demonstrates how a printer updates a copy of the Open Source Architecture Manifesto Wikipedia entry. It's written on a wall in the entrance to the Adhocracy exhibition at the Istanbul Design Biennial.
Italian studio Carlo Ratti Associatti wrote the manifesto for open source architecture and decided to start a Wikipedia page so it could be continually updated by the online community.
The robot (vertical plotter) writes, erases and rewrites sections of the manifesto onto a whiteboard as it receives changing information from the Wikipedia page.
Pretty cool, right?

For design lovers, presentation is nearly everything. So when looking at Restaurant magazine's 2012 list of the world's best restaurant design, it only makes sense to compare the plates with the restaurant in which they're served.
For three years in a row, Copenhagen's Noma tops the list (above). Who would expect anything other than restaurant design perfection from this Danish icon? Noma's cuisine (below) is a colorfully chic take on Nordic cuisine utilizing foraged flowers, fungi and sea vegetables, but the design is fundamentally Scandinavian in it's functionalism. In a fun nod to the past, faux pelts drape over the modern chairs of the dining room (above).
At the number two spot for the best restaurant design is El Celler de Can Roca, Barcelona, where the wine list reigns supreme as evidenced by the modern cellar design (below).
At El Celler de Can Roca, landscape design and plate design have a funny way of mimicking one another (below).
Ranked third in the world is another Spanish restaurant, Mugaritz. Housed in a rustic farmhouse. It flaunts some adventurous cuisine and design details, such as this towel station outside the restrooms (below).
With a dark wooded ceiling, contemporary wall lamps cantilevered from the beams, and modern sculptures on the table, the dining room (below) is elegant yet restrained. Try one of these contemporary wall lamps to ge the look.
Dishes at Mugaritz show similar sculptural restraint, as with this plate of violet ice cream (below).
Put the world's top three restaurants together and you've got some unforgettable flavors set amid some great design.

Now we might not all be Michelin star chefs, but at least it's possible with the help of a few simple modern designs to re-create the look of the world's best restaurants at home.

This house in Japan, designed by Kazuhiko Kishimoto literally catches light. The home is built around a beautiful courtyard that provides natural light for the entire house, inside and out.
Simple dining table and chairs keep the decor minimal and modern.

Win over Arizona propelled Arizona State into Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
"There's a whole ton of things you look at when you invite a team to a bowl game," said Gary Cavalli, Executive Director of the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. "We felt that Arizona State, winning that last game against Arizona, would have an excited fan base that would make the trip out here, that they would be much more pumped about going to the bowl game than say the Wildcats would, who lost the game."
The Wildcats ultimately accepted an invitation to play in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, which they won in a 49-48 thriller over Nevada. It was the first game of the bowl season and not known as one of the more prestigious games to play in.
The Sun Devils, on the other hand, are preparing to face Navy on December 29. Cavalli said Arizona State has sold about 5,000 tickets so far -- and that they were hoping for 10,000 -- but added there's still time and there is a strong effort being made to get more maroon and gold-clad fans to the game.
"I know that coach Graham has taped a phone message that the Arizona State athletic department is calling every single alum in Northern California to encourage them to come to the game," Cavalli said, "and I've already got some calls from some of those people, so I think the phone campaign is working."
The Sun Devils will need the support to match what the opposition will bring to the game, as Cavalli said Navy will have "a heck of a tailgate party" in one of the piers near the stadium.
"They're going to have about 6,000 Navy fans going to a pregame tailgate there."

As a high school seminary student, Lody was no more or less certain of his calling than those who make the decision later in life.
"You don't go to the seminary to be a priest. You go to discern whether God is calling you and if it's the life you can live," Lody said.
After college seminary, Lody began having some doubts. Many of his friends were getting married, and he entertained thoughts of doing the same.
During his four years away from the seminary, Lody became engaged and earned a master's degree.
He filled his spare time by volunteering at every soup kitchen in his New Jersey neighborhood.
Lody realized that his spirit was nourished by helping others. He used to describe this feeling as wanting to live a life of altruism. Now he has refined his phrasing.
"The reality is that I want to live Christ," Lody said.
Lody's break from seminary also included a stint in law school.
One day, a lawyer came to retrieve him for a company softball game, and Lody couldn't leave because he needed to account for 15 minutes of time.
At the lawyer's suggestion, Lody called a client and left a brief voice mail. His friend then recommended that he bill the client for the full 15 minutes.
"I knew she didn't have the money, and there was something really unjust about that," Lody said.
Lody left law school at the end of the semester. He views the incident as an example of a supernatural sensitivity to right and wrong that leads some into full-time ministry.
"We're made in the image and likeness of God, according to Genesis Chapter One. Our sense of injustice, of where God is not, is profound. So we get angry at that injustice and want to do something about it. A priest is someone who is willing to make that correction of where God is lacking into a lifestyle," Lody said.
Lody took his faith into the streets to work with gang members and homeless youth.
Knowing that they would not often see the inside of a church, he brought the church's ministry to them.
Most of the time, they modified their behavior while a man of God was among them and he felt no fear.
However, once in east Los Angeles, a gang member warned him about an impending act of retaliation and urged him to get out before shots were fired.
In the young man's expression, Lody saw the deep-seated anger that is necessary to commit such an act of violence, but he also saw genuine concern for a fellow human being.
"I saw love in his face in the midst of all this anger, and I couldn't decipher which had the dominance. That scared me," Lody said.
Lody was ordained in October 2003.
Prior to coming to St. Cecilia Catholic Church in August, Lody was assigned to Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in Homewood, St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Madison and St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Alexander City.
Lody said while his time in seminary gave him the necessary head knowledge, ministry at the local level shaped the way he interacts with the world in a more profound way.
Visiting parishioners in their homes gives him an insight into their lives and struggles outside the walls of the church.
Conversely, he hopes that the times they spend at St. Cecilia will influence the rest of their week.
"Faith needs to be the lens through which we see the world," Lody said.

Could daycare be doing more harm than good when it comes to your child's behavior?
A recent study, from the University of Oxford finds an association between kids who spend more time in day care and the likelihood of hyperactivity.
Researchers say that the most importance influence on a child's behavior is their home environment, specifically, the care they get from their mother.
However, they say that when it comes to preschool, children who attend develop better interpersonal skills and get along better with other kids their age, than those who didn't.

We need new homes despite it being unpopular, says county MP
2:00pm Wednesday 19th February 2014 in News By Tom Edwards, Political Reporter
A WORCESTERSHIRE MP has urged councils to reach swift deals on house building in the county - and says all areas must take a hit for the common good.
Conservative Peter Luff, who represents Mid-Worcestershire, has refuted claims from politicians that their areas are under siege from too much development.
He has also told your Worcester News the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) may not be perfect, but it's a better alternative than allowing builders free reign.
As your Worcester News revealed two weeks ago, the number of homes in the plan is expected to rise from 23,200 to up to 27,300.
After Government inspector Roger Clews said the old figure was not enough, councils in Worcester, Malvern and Wychavon have come up with a higher tally.
A fresh two-day examination will take place in March and if approved, all three districts will then have to decide what patches of land to earmark for new development.
Only last week Councillor John Smith, who represents Evesham, said the town had already been "shafted" by too much development.
Mr Luff believes part of the problems are because historically, more and more large properties have been built, despite demographics showing increasing numbers of people living alone or having small families.
He says if people accept homes should be smaller it could preserve some of the green scenery.
Mr Luff said: "We must address the local housing need by getting houses built in the right places, it's something that's got to happen.
"I do begin to wonder whether we can still have large houses, do we all have a right to a three-bed home with a large garden, for example?
"There is an argument over that, but in terms of the numbers we do need more houses, we've just got to find the least damaging locations possible.
"There are some areas that have suffered, and it certainly isn't easy, but people do have a right to be housed."
The new examination on the SWDP is set for Thursday, March 13 and Friday March 14, and will take place at County Hall on both days.
Mr Clews has already said he is satisfied with the land earmarked for employment in the plan, which could generate 30,000 positions if every hectare is filled.
The SWDP is designed to last until 2030, and will guide developers on what patches of land to submit planning applications for.

Has he seen some of the three bed homes where the smallest two bedrooms won't hold a full sized bed?
He'll be safely retired by the time the flak starts to fly over ill located, badly drained estates crammed into the corners of villages

The developers will not do it so the councils need to stand up and say to Luff and his Tory cronies NO not until you give us the money to improve the transport links, the drains, the sewers etc etc.

The homes that developers build today are smaller than ever, gardens only 10m deep for a family home.
Yet again MP's that have no idea of what the people need or want.
Some of the site that are in the SWDP are not the right sites. DC have picked sites that are not up to standard, and missed others that would be better.

We do indeed if we can individually afford it, and politicians would be wise not to talk about making sacrifices "for the common good". It's time they stopped meddling with and commenting on things they know nothing about, stopped treating the population like idiots and started doing the things that the voters need them to do, no less and no more.
What a muppet.

Once again a shocking example of how politicians are so removed from the real world and are so limited in their understanding of normal peoples lives, not to mention the patronising arrogance to think that they have the right to say how one should live ones life.
Lead by example Sir and downgrade to a studio flat and I'm sure we will all follow suit.

Buzz: A Dan Boyle For Marian Gaborik Trade Almost Happened?
Before I go get a flowcut, I want to hear from Rangers & Sharks fans. I heard a Dan Boyle for Marian Gaborik trade almost happened. Thoughts—
John Buccigross (@Buccigross) July 17, 2012
Boyle, 36, has two more years left on his contract at $6.66 million per season and has a no-trade clause.
Boyle played under John Tortorella from 2001-2008. Since the lockout, in seasons where he has played more than 37 games, Boyle has not had fewer than 48 points. He is a right handed shot.
Gaborik also has a no-trade clause.
Adam Rotter: Boyle, because of his relationship with John Tortorella, would be a logical target for the Rangers. He is a righty shooting, veteran offensive defenseman who has won a Stanley Cup. I don't think the Rangers would move Marian Gaborik for him, but in theory, a move like this would then lead to the Rangers acquiring Rick Nash.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Yu Darvish was perfect through 8 2/3 innings and the Texas Rangers defeated the Houston Astros, 7-0, in an American League West matchup on Tuesday.
Darvish (1-0) seemed unstoppable and was one out away from perfection when Marwin Gonzalez hit a ground ball between his legs and into center field for a single. Darvish was then replaced by Michael Kirkman, and despite not getting to finish out the game, recorded an impressive 14 strikeouts.
"I think my teammates were more disappointed than I was," Darvish said through a translator.
Ian Kinsler hit a two-run home run for the Rangers, who recorded 12 hits. Lance Berkman had two RBI while Nelson Cruz, Elvis Andrus and Mitch Moreland knocked in a run apiece in the victory, Texas' first of the season.
Gonzalez and Jose Altuve were the only two to record hits for the Astros, who saw starter Lucas Harrell (0-1) allow one run on six hits over six innings.
With one out in the top of the third, Craig Gentry hit a ground-rule double. Kinsler followed with an infield single and Andrus was walked, loading the bases. Berkman then singled to left field to put up the first score.
Texas would not score again until the seventh. After a one-out triple by Gentry, Kinsler hit a home run deep into left.
Wesley Wright filled in for the Astros in the eighth, but immediately walked David Murphy, and then allowed Cruz a double to left center, scoring Murphy. A.J. Pierzynski grounded out, but got Cruz to third, allowing Mitch Moreland to hit a sacrifice fly to give them a 5-0 lead.
In the ninth, Veras pitched for Houston, but he also struggled. Kinsler drew a leadoff walk and Andrus followed with an RBI triple to deep right, making it 6-0. Berkman then hit a single, allowing Andrus to score.
Darvish grounded out Jason Castro and Carlos Corporan in the bottom of the inning before Gonzalez ended his night. Kirkman then replaced him, and allowed a single to Altuve and Gonzalez. However, he struck out J.D. Martinez, who was pinch-hitting for Brett Wallace, to end the game.
"I didn't want to be the last out," said Gonzalez. "I was trying to look for a good pitch to hit and put it in play. That's all I was thinking."
Andrus had two triples ... Darvish became the first pitcher to lose a perfect
game with two outs in the ninth inning since Armando Galarraga on June 2,
2010 ... Had Darvish pitched a perfect game, it would have been the seventh
no-hitter in Rangers history and the first since Kenny Rogers threw a perfect
game on July 28, 1994.

October 2, 2013
By Tara MatslerThe American Quarter Horse Journal
View larger slideshow with photo captions
Hanna Norman and Willyinthe Moonlight entered youth hunter under saddle and showmanship at the 2013 Nutrena AQHA East Novice Championship Show. (Journal photo)
In a day and age when America's youth seem to be a tad bit short on a good work ethic, direction and a healthy sense of responsibility, it's refreshing to meet Hanna Norman.
The Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, teenager juggles school and working for her family's business, a bus company, where Hanna works hard at cleaning the vehicles. Oh, and then there are horses. For the past five years, Hanna has worked her way up the horse-show ladder.
She started out with a mare by the name of Iris Boston Scotch and earned the 2008 Justin Rookie of the Year 11 & Under with Kid Stylin. Now, you'll find Hanna paired up with Willyinthe Moonlight (Only In The Moonlight-Docs Bo Sassy by Docs Bo Acres).
"My aunt and trainer, Lora, bought 'Willy' and showed him in hunter under saddle," 15-year-old Hanna told the Journal. "He does hunter under saddle and showmanship."
And those are the two events that brought Hanna and Willy to the 2013 Nutrena AQHA East Novice Championship Show in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Hanna and Willy are the perfect example that hard work and determination does pay off.
"If you would have asked her this spring if she was going to be here, I bet you her answer would have been 'no,' " says her trainer, Lora Knelly-Thomas, an AQHA Professional Horseman from Berwick, Pennsylvania.
"She's very, very driven and hard-working," Lora adds. While Hanna is quiet, and clearly modest about her success, Lora is quick to point out just how far she has seen Hanna come, especially in the past year.
Hanna shares a passion for horses with her aunt, Stephanie Windecker. The pair happens to be the sole horse-interested folks in their family. Taking a page out of her aunt's horse-show book, Hanna already has her sights set on the next level of AQHA competition: the Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show in Oklahoma City. But for 2013, Hanna's focus is on success in Murfreesboro.
Out of her and Willy's two events, Hanna says showmanship is her personal favorite. It can be surmised that Willy shares this sentiment, since it is rumored that he prefers a leisurely pace in life.
Hanna definitely has what it takes to do well in showmanship, Lora says, which is evidenced by Hanna pointing out of the Novice level this year.
"Hanna's good at putting her game face on and just going to it."
That's a book we can hope many a youth will take a page out of it.

Thanks to mrbubbler for sharing this one at Retsinis' tasting.
Bottled 1/2009.
Pours a hazy dark red with a foamy reddish-white head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Small chunks of sediment are seen floating around in the beer after the pour. Smell is sour with malt, cherry, earth, and funk aromas. Taste is much the same with sour cherry and funk flavors on the finish. There is a medium amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a very good beer with a fantastic sour and funky cherry flavor that makes this one very easy to drink.

vintage - 2009 750ml served in Cantillon flute
served at 55 degrees, gushed about a 1/8 of the bottle out *sad face*
pours a dirty ruby red, chunks of yeast floating (because of bottle gush). little to no head ironically.
tart cherry pie on the nose. cherries are bright but funky and old.
very similar flavor to the smell. cherry flavor is bright but old and oaky. has some old musty funk. a bit of sourness in the finish. mostly cherry up front.
light to moderate carbonation, dry cherry finish
never seen de cam with so much liveliness! taste is very unique for an oude kriek. tastes about 6 years older than it is. nice stuff.

Oude Kriek De Cam is clear but has a ruby tone as rich and vivid as a double coating of nail-polish. You could make an evening gown out with this colour and be the belle of the ball. Even the head - normally a soft pink - is a darker shade of red than some commercial Krieks' body!
The aroma exudes sour cherry and almonds notes. It is tart, if not outright sour despite the abundance of cherry flavour. The fruit pits are what account for the almond character (which is highly appreciable in this example). The bouquet is enticing and enchanting.
The tastes of almonds and cherries are conspicuous - check your tongue for a cherry tattoo after the fact - but the flavour can almost more resemble cranberry because of its sourness. Purists don't like too much fruit flavour, but this manages to deliver delicious cherry notes without encumbering the lambic or the barrels in which its been aged.
Indeed, Oude Kriek De Cam has a fuller taste than most Krieks and it manages this without either the artificial sweetness of commercial brands or the extreme acidity and barnyard characteristics of other traditional examples. Still, it has plenty of the style's trademark 'funk'; considering how closely this resembles vinegar, it's strangely agreeable and refreshing.
Oude Kriek De Cam has all the complexity and character of, say, Cantillon Kriek, but is a bit more approachable for the uninitiated. I bet it'd be just as popular were it easier to find outside of Belgium. One of the best, most authentic examples of this unique, superb style, it's definitely something you'll want to savor with your feet up (even if you're at the bar, so what?!).

Thanks to all the restrictions put in place for the uncapped 2010 season — the "Final League Year" — player movement through free agency has not been as prevalent as in years past. However, some marquee names still have found new homes over the past month, making for some interesting fantasy situations.
Most notably, a handful of key running backs have landed in different cities since free agency began on March 5. Here is a look at the five most prominent rushers who have switched teams this offseason and what fantasy owners can expect from them in the upcoming campaign:
LaDainian Tomlinson / Jets (cut by Chargers)
When it comes to the running back position, there's been no one better over the past decade than Tomlinson, the active leader in rushing yards and total touchdowns. However, after turning 30 years old before last season, L.T.'s production declined steeply in 2009, as he had by far the worst year of his career. Diminishing performance coupled with a hefty contract led San Diego to release him in February, but he had a number of suitors and eventually decided on the Jets. Although no longer a statistical stud, landing in New York could allow Tomlinson to still be relevant in fantasy circles. Starter Shonn Greene showed last season that he clearly has a lot of upside, but he's only in his second year and has never before carried the load in the NFL. Even though Leon Washington is also around to handle work on passing downs, there's definitely a spot for L.T. in this backfield, likely as a short-yardage and goal-line option. If he gets around 10 touches per game, he could be a quality flex player in most leagues.
Thomas Jones / Chiefs (cut by Jets)
Over the past two seasons, you won't find many backs who posted better numbers than Jones, who ran for a whopping 2,714 yards and scored 29 times in that span. But with the Jets having younger, cheaper options in Shonn Greene and Leon Washington, they decided that Jones was not worth the money and let him go. With a clear need for a bigger runner in their backfield, the Chiefs scooped him up for a relatively modest sum to pair with '09 revelation Jamaal Charles, giving them one of the league's more impressive one-two punches. The slightly built Charles is still expected to handle most of the early-down work, but that leaves quite a few carries for Jones, whose play has not slowed down at all even at age 31. He'll likely be the guy K.C. goes to when it gets into the red zone or needs tough yards, and if he sees the ball 12-plus times each week, he has the look of a nice No. 3 fantasy back.
Larry Johnson / Redskins (Bengals UFA)
A former fantasy monster, Johnson appeared to be on his last legs before the Chiefs cut him midway through last season. But the 30-year-old ballcarrier appeared rejuvenated running behind a better line in Cincinnati, which added him for the final seven games. He gained 4.4 yards per carry while with the Bengals, allowing him to build his value back up heading into free agency. The Redskins, who parted ways with most of their backfield this offseason, added L.J. to give them a badly needed option outside of Clinton Portis, riddled by injuries for much of '09. Johnson and Portis are expected to compete for the starting job and likely will wind up splitting carries fairly evenly, limiting the upside of either back. Johnson's value is further diminished by Washington's weak offensive line and feeble passing attack, both of which could hinder the running game. However, new head coach Mike Shanahan has worked wonders with running backs in the past, so it's possible that L.J. could surprise. As long as Portis is healthy and seeing roughly half the workload, though, neither member of "Port-a-John" is better than a No. 4 fantasy option.
Chester Taylor / Bears (Vikings UFA)
The most coveted unrestricted free-agent running back on the market, it didn't take Taylor long to find a gig — the Bears gave him a healthy contract on free agency's opening day. Stuck behind arguably the NFL's best rusher — Adrian Peterson — in Minnesota the past three seasons, Taylor has watched his playing time and numbers steadily decline, resulting in just 138 touches for 727 yards and two TDs last year. A move to Chicago, though, should lead to more action and increased value. A skilled, prolific pass catcher, Taylor, 30, should be a perfect fit for Mike Martz's offense, which often sees backs used as receivers. Taylor's exact role, however, is still up in the air, as the Bears have a back in Matt Forté who looked great as a rookie in '08 before falling into a sophomore slump last season. The two could battle for the starting job in camp, although they'll both play either way, probably depending on game situations. Given how much Chicago paid him, Taylor is going to be a major contributor to this offense and could wind up as a decent flex player or better in 2010.
Mike Bell / Eagles (Saints RFA)
Written off after falling out of favor in Denver before the '07 campaign, Bell re-emerged with the Saints last season and had an adequate year in an overly crowded backfield, rushing for 654 yards and five TDs on 172 attempts. The Eagles, lacking depth in their backfield stable after dumping Brian Westbrook, came calling for Bell this offseason, signing him to an offer sheet that New Orleans opted not to match. Although LeSean McCoy remains the likely starter in Philly, there's a clear opening for Bell to fill the role of the pounding, short-yardage back, as McCoy is more of an outside runner and pass catcher. Such a function could lead to Bell finding paydirt often in this potent offense, but he might have to fend off FB Leonard Weaver for goal-line work. If Bell, who turns 27 in April, establishes himself as the definite No. 2 RB in camp, he's someone to keep an eye on in the later rounds of fantasy drafts, as he has sleeper potential.

Sean Payton has been suspended for the 2012 season because of "Bounty-gate." He, reportedly, has approaced Bill Parcells about filling in for him this year.
The 2012 Class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame was announced today. Included in the new inductees were running back Curtis Martin and defensive lineman Cortez Kennedy.
As the Miami Dolphins begin the search for a new head coach, rumors continue to swirl about a possible Carl Peterson hiring. Could the former Kansas City Chiefs executive be the next "football...
A look at Bill Parcell's appearance Monday night on ESPN 760 in West Pam Beach. The fomer Miami Dolphins football czar talked Dolphins, golf, Andrew Luck, and many other topics.
The latest news out of Miami? Bill Parcells is leaving...sort of. So what's the big deal here?
The conclusion of our unscientific case study. Is Bill Parcells really better than most at having successful drafts?
Just more on this feel-good story. It really puts everything into perspective - especially during this time of the year.
What an incredible thing for him to do.
If we can get Lawrence Taylor to come back, we'll take him, too.-Bill Parcells, responding to a question from ESPN on if it was a hard decision to bring back Jason Taylor.
What are the Dolphins doing with Chad Henne that's so unique? And what do Miami's receivers feel about their perceived lack of talent at the WR position?

Jespersen crowned Miss Rodeo Nebraska
Gina Jespersen of Hemingford can officially begin her duties as Miss Rodeo Nebraska. Nearly 400 people were on hand to support Jespersen at her coronation ceremony held Saturday night in Scottsbluff.
The coronation event is also the largest fundraiser of the year for the new Miss Rodeo Nebraska. This included 40 live auction items and over 90 silent auction items. The auctions raised over $32 - thousand dollars from the generous support of family, friends and area business. Jespersen says the support was overwhelming.
"We knew that we were sold out, but to see everyone fill up this up this room was just unbelievable, Jespersen said. "I come from the amazing town of Hemingford and the panhandle has always been so supportive, so it was an excellent night. More than I could have ever imagined".
The high selling item was a beautiful quilt donated by Pat's Creative of Hemingford, designed by Shelley McConnville and pieced by Sonya Buskirk and Shelley. The quilt sold for $5 thousand dollars to Darwin Jespersen, Gina's grandfather.
As Miss Rodeo Nebraska, Jespersen will travel approximately 30 thousand miles during her reign. She says fundraiser is a big part of her year. This will Jespersen travel extensively during her reign representing the sport of rodeo and the state of Nebraska. This also will help Jespersen compete in the Miss Rodeo America pageant that will be held in December in Las Vegas during the National Finals Rodeo.
During her year she will also speak to many school and community organizations promoting her platform "Ride With No Regrets"
Jesperson will have her first event next week as Miss Rodeo Nebraska in participating in the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver. This month she also travels to a PRCA rodeo in Lincoln, followed by the Black Hills Stock Show in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Shifting trend lines are good news for homebuilders, analysis finds
Shifting trend lines are good news for homebuilders, analysis finds
Steve Bergsman
Inman News®
When I was a young man, I moved often. Then I found a good job, got married, and children quickly followed. I stopped moving. That job is long gone, the kids are grown up and living elsewhere, but I'm still married to the same person and haven't moved in decades.
Apparently, I'm a rare bird, because Americans like to move. More than 40 million of us move every year and we have been changing residences at that rate at least as far back as the 1990s.
While the propensity to go from one home to another doesn't change much, others patterns regularly shift: in particular, where we go, where we leave and why we are going.
For many years now, the main outbound migration region in the United States was the Great Lakes area. That has changed. According to the United Van Lines 35th annual migration study, the Northeast is now the place most people leave.
On a state-by-state basis, Illinois and Michigan still captured high rankings in terms of outbound traffic, but those states have been joined by New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Maine.
Where do people go once they leave their homes in places like the Northeast? According to United Van Lines, the highest ranking inbound location was Washington, D.C. Politically, you can either view this as a further concentration of the federal government or that many politicos who fled the capital during the Bush years are coming back for the Obama presidency.
Two Southern states with a high percentage of inbound migration were North Carolina and Florida, while two Western states high on the inbound list were Oregon and Nevada.
Florida and Nevada were two of the states most devastated by the recession and subsequent foreclosure crisis. Homes are now so cheap people can't wait to go back to these sunny locations.
United Van Lines isn't the only mover with surveys. Penske Truck Rental data mined its moving data and found the top 10 one-way truck rental destinations included seven southern-tier cities: Atlanta, Phoenix, Orlando, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Sarasota and Charlotte; two Western cities: Denver and Seattle; and one Midwest locale: Chicago.
As with the appearance of Florida and Nevada in the United Van Lines survey, a strong group of recession-busted cities turn up on the Penske report -- Atlanta, Phoenix, Orlando and Sarasota -- once again proving that cheap home prices in a sunny location is a very strong allure.
OK, we now know where people are leaving and where they are going, so that leaves the big question: Why is everyone moving about, hither and yon?
For that, I turned to Chris Porter, manager at John Burns Real Estate Consulting Inc., who plumbed census data to try to determine the reasons behind relocations and if trend lines have shifted since the onset of the Great Recession.
For "owner" households, the reasons for moving are lumped into four major categories: family-related, work-related, housing-related, and the catch-all group, "other," which clumps together divergent responses such as: finish college; seeking a change of climate; health reasons; and even natural disasters.
For some strange reason, I always assumed people mostly move for work reasons, i.e., job relocation, but I never really thought it through. Up until the recession, people just moved because they wanted a bigger and better house -- and financing was cheap. So, by far, the major reasons why people move are all housing-related.
I suppose if statisticians and economists followed this data and knew what they were looking at, they could probably have predicted the coming housing blow-up, because from 2001 to 2003, housing-related reasons for moving kept climbing until they almost reached 60 percent of all reasons people listed for moving. Then, in 2004, the numbers started to slide until 2010, the year in which this motivation almost fell to below 40 percent. There was a slight comeback in 2011.
"It's more critical than ever before, given the state of the economy and housing market, to have an understanding of why people move," Porter said. "We're seeing a shift to a higher percentage of moves based on needs as opposed to wants. The kind of home someone might consider for a move based on needs is going to differ from the type of home based on wants."
Porter breaks the housing-related data into five subcategories, with the most popular espoused reasons, in descending order, being: wanted own home, not rent; wanted new or better home/apartment; wanted better neighborhood/less crime; wanted cheaper housing; or other housing reason.
