text: Celebrity Dopplegangers for Shaun White, Lindsey Vonn, Apolo Anton Ohno, Johnny Weir, Bode Miller of the 2010 Olympics Olympic Casting: Who Could Play the Athletes by POPSUGAR Entertainment 2/26/10 19 Reactions 20 Shares Print 0 20 0 0 0 Maybe it's just because I've been missing my favorite TV shows so much, but the more I watch the Olympics, the more the athletes start to look like celebs to me. Many of the medalists are dead ringers for movie stars, which got the wheels turning in my brain. Check out the actors I've plucked — based purely on looks — to play some of the most buzz-worthy American athletes of the 2010 Olympics. Source: WireImage, Getty Shaun White Played by Paul Dano What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 OK, so Paul Dano doesn't exactly appear to be the athletic type, but you can't deny the resemblance between the Little Miss Sunshine star and the famous snowboarder. The only thing standing in the way is a few more inches of curly hair. Source: Getty 1 / 8 Lindsey Vonn Played by Malin Akerman What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lindsey Vonn's tale of skiing to victory in spite of a serious injury is rife for the big screen — with Malin Akerman in the leading role. Source: Getty 2 / 8 Johnny Weir Played by Cillian Murphy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's hard to find an actor that could do justice to the highly entertaining figure skater, but Cillian Murphy has a similar bone structure — and is easy on the eyes to boot. Source: Getty 3 / 8 Apolo Anton Ohno Played by Justin Long What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This pairing is pretty much what inspired the whole idea for this slideshow: Ohno and Long could pass for long-lost twins. All Long needs is a goatee and some spandex, and he's ready to play the most decorated Winter Olympian of all time. Source: Getty 4 / 8 Meryl Davis Played by Michelle Trachtenberg What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Some have compared figure skater Meryl Davis to a certain Nav'i warrior princess, but I think Michelle Trachtenberg would be a suitable match. Plus, she already has experience playing a skater. (Ice Princess, anyone?) Source: Getty 6 / 8 Bode Miller Played by Chris Pratt What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Parks and Recreation's Chris Pratt has just the right amount of rugged good looks to play the Alpine skier. Source: WireImage, Getty 6 / 8 Julia Mancuso Played by Jessica Biel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jessica Biel may not be the tiara-wearing type, but she's got skier Mancuso's girl-next-door look down cold. Source: Getty 7 / 8 Evan Lysacek Played by Zachary Quinto What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Zachary Quinto definitely has the intensity to take on a gold medalist, and if he's willing to slip on Dr. Spock's ears, why not Lysacek's spandex unitards?

NFL isn't a rivalry league. They may want it to be, but they kill it with watered down divisions and parity.
College rivalries to NFL rivalries are not the same.The Bucs have division rivals, but they have nothing close to a rivalry like what we see with college rivalries like Auburn/Bama, OU/Texas, etc.Not even close.

Quote from: CalicoJack55 on June 20, 2013, 10:16:45 AMNFL isn't a rivalry league. They may want it to be, but they kill it with watered down divisions and parity.There were some great rivalries during the Gruden and Dungy years. Since then the Bucs haven't been rivals with anyone because they have stunk.
There isn't enough significant history or animosity between NFC South teams other than possibly the North Carolina Panthers and the Bucs.
you cant have a rivalry with a team that beats you the majority of the time.
If the Bucs played NYG on a regular basis I think we'd have the makings for a very good rivalry.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000064662/article/two-new-york-giants-fined-for-reaction-to-bucs-blitz

First off, I am a DIE-HARD Atheist and I listen to this. That should go to show that there isn't really anything that you can tell is Christian. Ah, Why ramble? On to the Review!
Not Ready to Die 5/5 This song immediately caught my attention, there's a short, hypnotic riff in the beginning and opens up into a Death Metal Onslaught, screaming and singing at the same time makes this sound WONDERFUL.
The Awakening 3.9/5 It's a good song, but the lack of good verses kind of kills it. Also, the bridge goes on too long. REALLY top-notch chorus though!
Beheaded 5/5 This song features a guest vocalist. (I think Killswitch Engage, but I'm not exactly sure) There's a neat bass line in the chorus to go along with the high-pitched growl.
My Heartstrings Come Undone 5/5 This is the only song with NO SCREAMING. It is still a wonderful song though, the lyrics are very well done too.
Our Faces Fall Apart 4/5 This song has a very cool beginning, but the rest is just OK. The bridge doesn't seem like it was really needed.
Less Than Nothing 5/5 A short, sweet song with a very catchy chorus. It sounds like they say the f-word in the beginning, but they don't. The intro riff is pretty good too.
Summer of Darkness 6/5 This is one of the coolest songs on the album. I've always loved title tracks, and this is NO exception. The higher guitar notes sound like the ones in Slipknot's "I Am Hated" On the Iowa album. The opening scream goes for about 20 seconds. cool crap!
Beauty Through the Eyes of a Predator 10000000000000000000/5 This is the best song ever! The chorus is wonderful, and it's also the longest, this is a MUST LISTEN.
Annihilate the Corrupt 5/5 Another A+ Chorus here folks, a good bridge guitar line and REALLY good lyrics.
I Play Dead 5/5 Interesting, it starts very soft and blows up on your face the first 1/4 of the song. COOL!
Everything Was White 5/5 Fun song to headbang to. The 1/2 second of silence towards the end in the guitar line was wonderful.
Coffin Builder 5/5 INCREDIBLE lyrics here all of you Metal Freex. Good guitar and bass too.
My life,
fell out of my hands,
they took it away,
The Latest and the Last 4/5 Good closing song, ends with a real BANG!
Get it NOW! And get The Triptych on the 25th too. Go, the reviews over…….GO!

The FDA says a handful of Arizona doctors and nurse practitioners may have received an unapproved Canadian Botox drug. The drug could be injected into unsuspecting patients.
We called and emailed these medical offices in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson to find out if they knew they purchased non-approved drugs, but we have not heard back.
A local surgeon says FDA-unapproved drugs are cheaper to buy, but could be harmful to patients.
The drug Botox is best known for erasing fine lines and wrinkles. But the FDA says more than 350 medical practices nationwide have purchased a non-approved version of the drug from Canada -- including five doctors and nurse practitioners here in Arizona.
"As a consumer you want to know who's injecting and what they are injecting," says Dr. Daniel Shapiro, Scottsdale Cosmetic Surgeon.
Dr. Daniel Shapiro, a renowned Scottsdale cosmetic surgeon, says two wrinkle filler drugs are approved by the FDA -- Botox cosmetic and Dysport.
"You want to be able to take a look at the box or ask to see the bottle, because the Botox cosmetic will say Botox cosmetic on the box and also on the bottle."
Dr. Shapiro says Botox should be injected at reputable venues. Having it done at Botox parties, some nurse practitioners, med spas, or purchasing Botox coupons online -- may give less desirable results.
"Diluting the product, which means they are adding more solution to the Botox itself."
Doctors might buy the diluted, FDA non-approved drugs because they are less expensive. However, the drugs could give people infections or might not work at all.
"People may have Botox that wasn't placed correctly. When people cut corners with price, I find they will cut corners with technique too," says Dr. Shapiro.
Users can go to Dysport and Botox cosmetic websites to find out which doctors buy these FDA-approved drugs.

The Miami Dolphins hold the 8th overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft and by far the player most often connected to them is Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill. He's expected to be the third quarterback off the board behind Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III.
SB Nation's Dolphins blog, The Phinsider, predicts the Dolphins will indeed take Tannehill.
I think the Dolphins can't afford to pass on him. They need a quarterback. It's either draft Tannehill, who knows offensive coordinator Mike Sherman's offense since Sherman was the head coach for Tannehill at Texas A&M, and have him sit for a year, or don't draft a quarterback, and wait until next year. Either way, the Dolphins aren't getting a rookie to be the starter this year.
Tannehill has a ton of upside. Some people worry because he is shooting up the draft boards, which could be seen as reaction to a down quarterback class, and to some degree, they may be right. But, if the Dolphins like him at pick eight, then I don't think it's really reach of they take the guy they want.

text: This is the absolute worst station in the Pikes Peak area. Horrific affiliation with the worst broadcast news organization (NBC)- check. Ignoring the wildfire that threatened a good part of the Springs last summer while showing their Pueblo bias- check. Paying off the Gazette and various community events in order to claim Springs local status- check. Hopefully Springs viewers will wake up and realize that 11, 13, and even 21 are better than this waste of television space.

Tool is far from a band in the traditional sense of the word. More than anything they are a union of true composer/musicians. In a time when the word "artist" is used far too loosely, these juggernauts transcend the concept and define it.
"10,000 Days" does not contain songs. It is an aggregate of compositions whose content shatters the barriers of hard rock/heavy metal music. The song "10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)" is a masterpiece itself. The aural landscape and musical skill displayed here is simply astounding.
Yes I am a Tool fan and have been since the early days of "Opiate." But my review is not derived from this prejudice. If this album were rubbish, I would sternly say so. I am pleased to state the contrary, that this album is a feat of epic proportions, and as such, is superb.

Frank Gehry is onto something again as he tries to bring a major museum into the City of Santa Monica. His proposed project is a mixed use structure with a 125-room hotel, condos, a museum, shopping, restaurants and of course parking. Santa Monica could use a little bit of excitement and who better to bring it than the Santa Monica native Frank Gehry? I can just see the modern furniture and stylish modern lighting filling the spaces and the streets lined with modern architecture and sculptures.
One of the amazing things that Frank Gehry does is mix architecture, art and culture into one. His projects are a destination waiting to be explored. The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (above) is the largest museum in a series of cultural institutions planned as part of the Saadiyat Island Cultural District. It will serve the world as a destination for the advancement of knowledge and the understanding of culture through the arts.
The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (above) is scheduled for completion in 2017 and it will no doubt be a pleasure for the now 84 old Frank Gehry to see such a remarkable project completed.
Gehry has designed more than fifty commercial buildings and residences throughout the world, including the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, the Disney Concert Hall (above), the Los Angeles Children's Museum, the California Aerospace Museum and the Yale Psychiatric Institute just to name a few.
He also renovated the famous Hollywood Bowl by adding fiberglass spheres which hang from the bowl's shell to upgrade the sound of the acoustics.
And did you know he has also designed a series of modern pendant lighting called "Cloud" (above). The name evokes the poetic nature of these creations, which should convey the feeling of freedom and eccentricity.
Who doesn't want to add a feeling of freedom and eccentricity into their home? One of the best ways to do that is through modern lighting, whether it be a ceiling light or a pendant! Take a look at some of our suggestions below.
White Billowing Cloud Possini Euro Pendant Chandelier
Now we can all bring a little bit of Frank Gehry into our homes or office.

Cheeky and fun, that's what Ms. Light & Airy is all about! The rising temperatures have her ecstatic to freshen up her space and her wardrobe, like with this Floral Sheath Dress from A-Thread.
A few of these Cosmo Mirrored Candle Wall Sconces placed strategically along her hallway or in the bath make everything feel bigger with their reflective surfaces, whether or not the candles are lit. Ms. Light & Airy has this Cirrus Gloss White Ceiling Fan in her living room to keep the space feeling fresh, it's clean lines and white finish help it almost disappear against a white ceiling!
Placing this Hand-Blown blue Bubble Glass Table Lamp in her entryway or at the end of a hall not only helps subtly offer some color, it also manages to be a statement accessory without feeling big and heavy. The materials of the Eileen Grey Chrome and Glass Accent Table keep it feeling just like Ms. Light & Airy, bright and clean. It would feel equally at home next to a chair in the living room or as a bedside table.
A set of these wide, comfy Zuo Whitworth Chrome White Modern Accent Chairs would help to make a little reading nook feel much bigger than it actually is. Ms. Light & Airy loves the open form and clean lines!
It's that time of year again! Get ready to spend more time in your modern outdoor space, both day and night. There's just a few things you need to consider as you prepare your outdoor space.
The first thing you should do before selecting outdoor lighting, purchasing outdoor furniture or laying down any stones is figure out how you want your outdoor space to function. Will you be entertaining? Do you want to eat out there during the day or night? Maybe you just want to lounge on sunny days?
Keep in mind the style of both your home's architecture as well as the interior design. Selecting furniture and lighting that will compliment your home's style is important for the overall flow of the design.
It's important to include some plant life in your home, but it's especially important to include it in your outdoor living space! Greenery can be used as a barrier as well. In the case of this home below, close quarters required them to come up with a design plan to ensure privacy. They chose tall, narrow trees and it was a brilliant move.
We hope you have fun designing your modern outdoor space and even more fun spending time there!

Your kitchen always ends up being the gathering place in a home – whether you're hosting a party or just hanging out with the family. Because of this, it's time for everyone to spice up your modern kitchen island with some chic barstools. Some people go for comfort; for others, they only care about looks.
Then you have to think about the design of your modern barstools... It doesn't matter what style your home is – industrial, mid-century modern, traditional or minimalist – there is something for everyone's kitchen island.
Zuo Marius Red Bar Chair
Your kitchen will look all spruced up for a small price. Think of the modern barstool as kitchen jewelry. Today, I've pulled together three different looks for you, each one I love for a different reason.
I'm partial to the industrial look (above). This bright version is the perfect pop of color to bring into your kitchen.
Orson Black Leatherette Metal Modern Bar Stools
This Orson bar stool has a back. If you treat the counter as a place for chatting while cooking, a high-back stool will be more comfortable.
Anime Modern Transparent Acrylic Stackable Zuo Bar Stool
If you want your barstools to kind of disappear from a distance, acrylic is definitely the way to go.
I hope this helped and you find your ideal barstool!

The Jets became the eighth NFL team to vote unanimously to allow the NFLPA to decertify the union with a vote on Thursday.
Decertifying the union allows the players to sue the owners if the owners lock out the players after the 2010 season. NFL owners are exempt from being sued by unions that are negotiating collective bargaining agreements because of antitrust laws. Decertification gives the players potential leverage.
"It's all about the big picture," Jets OL Damien Woody said. "Players around the league, we're going to stick together and do what's best, make the game better for the players that are going to come after us."
NFLPA execuvite director DeMaurice Smith met with the Jets before the vote.
The way we see it
See a pattern yet? Smith has been extremely proactive in explaining to each team the importance of voting for decertification as eight teams have already done so unanimously. The Patriots are likely the next team to vote. Any step in the direction of avoiding a lockout is a step in the right direction and getting the vote out as early as the NFLPA can this season can make the process a more fluid one when the season concludes.

Toyota offers 1% interest on loans for Innova buyers
Our Bureau
Bangalore , Dec. 2
TOYOTA Kirloskar has come out with a finance option that offers 1 per cent interest rate on loans for its Innova customers for a limited period of one month.
Earlier, one of its dealers had come out with a free petrol offer for all Innova buyers for a year. In a press statement, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) said it had tied up with leading financial institutions to offer consumer finance schemes as part of its 2-lakh celebrations. TKM recently surpassed domestic production and sales of 2 lakh Toyota vehicles in India.
The statement said market research had indicated a growing aspiration among B-segment car owners to purchase more value cars. In order to facilitate upgradation and reduce the gap between the two price points, Toyota is offering Innova customers three finance options of zero down payment or low interest rate of 1 per cent on a three-year loan period or lower EMI of Rs 11,999 on a five-year loan period. These schemes are being offered on G1 & G2 Innova models for a period of one month.
"Many consumers desire Innova as it offers the comfort and luxury of a passenger car coupled with the space and utility of an MPV vehicle. Innova buyers who are constrained by high interest rates, down payments and EMIs can now avail themselves of these unique consumer finance schemes and upgrade to Innova," the Toyota Kirloskar Deputy Managing Director, Mr K.K. Swamy, said.
As part of the celebrations, Toyota is also offering all prospective customers who test-drive the Innova an opportunity to participate in a lucky draw and win plasma TV, iPODs, DVD players and digital cameras.
Toyota has launched this offer in association with leading financial institutions such as ICICI, HDFC and Kotak, in order to ensure a countrywide reach of this scheme. Toyota Innova has mopped up sales of 29,000 units.

Appearance This is one of the cloudiest IPAs I have ever seen. This is the deep dark murky waters full of sediment. The head was huge, lasting, and lacing. Perfect!
Smell Man, does this beer reek. The big, strong, floral hops mix with the rind and pine scents to produce a monster aroma. This is making my mouth water.
Taste Just when you thought that you were going to be slapped by the Godzilla of IPAs, this one steps back and shows some class. It is smooth, creamy, reserved, yet full of flavor.
The profile here is a class act. The hop fullness is complimented by a sharp but unobtrusive pine hop undertone. The hop sharpness picks up strong in the finish, leaving the drinker refreshed and satisfied.
Mouthfeel Refreshing and almost full in the mouth. This one has not a hint of alcohol. It is creamy smooth like butter.
Drinkability If it wasnt for my demanding, share-all-the-good-hoppy-beer-with-me wife, I could chug this all night. This is a masterpiece.

This was on my list of beers to try this year.
Pours orangey-gold with a fluffy head.
This beer is packed with citrus through and through.
The nose jumps out with grapefruit, tangerine, and mandarin orange.
The taste is equally as citrusy with just a touch of sweet, doughy malt and yeast. Once again, if you like citrus, this is the beer for you.
I could drink this often. Very driinkable and has an attractive demeanor. I can't wait to try exponential hoppiness.

Ah yes, fill up your senses with this brew. I often get this in the bottle but found it on top at the San Diego Brewing Company and it really shines on draft. A creamier brew than you expect from an IPA. Nice foamy head that never dies down, producing a long, smooth mouthfeel. Aggressive hoppiness but not to the point where it is just a way to show how macho you are. Bravo, bravo, bravo.

First off, I didn't take notes when I tasted this beer. But it is quite memorable so hopefully that'll be sufficient. From what I remember it was a fine clear light amber color. What was most outstanding was the amazing aroma that simply exploded with hoppy goodness. The body was nicely balanced with sweet maltiness and it finished as spectacularly as it started. This is a beautiful beer.

A - Pours a clear amber color with a finger of off white head. Alright retention and a bit of lacing.
S - Big citrus and tropical fruit: grapefruit, mango, pineapple, lemon, orange. Smells a bit sweet.
T - Nice mix of pine and grapefruit. Medium length finish with some floral notes on top of a very mild bitterness.
M - Prickly carbonation with a nice resinous coating. Medium bodied and astringent on the finish.
O - My first brew from ABC and I wasn't disappointed. Very solid DIPA.

Even better off the tap. The pour and the color were the same as the bottle version. The smell was a bit more pronounced with a little smoother hop scent than the bottle but just as good. The flavor and the mouthfeel were much better on tap. The malty middle came out much more and balanced the beer just enough to make it near-perfect, and the mouthfeel was much more creamy and easy going. A great beer indeed.

A: thick foam head with wicked lacing and hazy golden yellow in color.
S: a blast of hops, slight citrus hints as well tease the senses.
T: an initial sizzle of hops with an aftertaste of tropical fruits.
MF/D: a buzz of carbonation that fades rather quickly leading to a rather smooth swallow.

22oz bombers pours into my glass an impeccable clear golden orange hue, amazing clarity. An inch of creamy white head rises and as it falls it leaves dense patches of sticky lacing. Aromas are evident before even getting close to the glass! Big, brash citric hops show up across the room. Closer inspection brings a cacophony of vibrant citrus, tropical, juicy and resinous green hop aromas out. A sweet caramel malt lies in the background, but hops rule here. Somewhat floral, enticing aroma.
First sip brings a crisp somewhat toasty caramel malt upfront that gets washed over by a solid mix of hops. Leafy, citrus, floral and light tropical flavors move across the palate. Lots of green resinous notes as well. It flows down with a big smack of bitterness that grabs hold. Finishes off with lingering bitterness and floral hop afterthoughts. Good mix of sweetness and bitterness overall. Solid brew.
Mouthfeel is smooth, creamy and medium bodied. Great carbonation makes it go down easy and refreshing. If I could find this regularly it would be a go to brew and I could easily take down a couple bombers. Overall, another solid west coast IPA. I wouldn't say it's amazing and my favorite, but it's a damn good brew that I'm happy to have tried.

Lightly packed foam white head. Interesting patterns form in the bubbles. Body is a lighter yellow color, nice and clear though. Lacing shows up to round it out.
Lots of aroma in this, immediately evident when the cap was popped. Citrus and floral hops dominates with some clean straw aromas come in from the malting. Just pure hops mostly (no pun intended), but doesn't seem overly sweet like many other big hopbombs.
Lots of hops are evident as would be expected. Big, bold, brash hops. Floral and straw hops form most of the flavor in this. Some piney resin finishes this out and leads into the lingering bitterness. A bit unbalanced though.
Mouthfeel is medium. Fair amount of carbonation makes for a nice crispness. Decent drinkability, the slightly unbalanced nature brings this down. If you want straight up hops this is a good choice. Good brew overall...similar to Victory's Hop Wallop to me...

Pours clear copper. One finger white head fades to a thin cap leaving little to no lacing. Aroma is slightly piney, citrusy with some tropical fruit notes. Flavor has notes of grass and grapefruit. Thin to medium body. Not heavy on malt. Moderate carbonation. Crisp, clean finish.

22oz brown bomber. Thanks to xlperro!!
Hazy golden colored beer. Wonderful white foam head; sticks to the glass with tightly laced bubble that retains.
Aroma is pure hops! Fresh hops. Pine, lime juice, herbal, alcohol spice/esters. Notes of bready grains in the background and fresh vegetables. A bit dank. Yeah, dank.
Smooth, even mouthfeel. Lively, prickly carbonation. Tasty malt foundation that's sweet with hints of caramel and a lightly toasted bready flavor. Very dry. Very bitter. Hops have an incredible citrus snap and sharp cheesy edge, followed by a saltiness and some major pine and herbal spice. Mentions of dried wood. Alcohol is noticeable, with warming esters, and kicks in with the hop spiciness. Bready leftovers in the finish, with an edge of raw leafy hops.
Man, this is one hopped-up beer! Gotta love its overall rawness that smacks the shite out of you, but you enjoy it and come back for more. Hell yeah!

Thanks Lou91 for this gem. Powerful, bold and complex hop aroma,reminds me of the first time I inhaled Dreadnaught, you could keep your nose in that glass all day, wonderful fullbodied malt hop combination like you bit into a sweetened grapefruit/orange with a beautiful tongue coating bitterness that urged you to contemplate the artist skills of the brewmaster.

The avab-Solaris range of lighting consoles, developed in collaboration between the transtechnik group and its Austrian distributor LDDE, has been developed in a modular format to handle various lighting control tasks. The individual modules are named after planets in the solar system: Venus is the dual crossfade module with crossfade sliders, which automatically return to their original position; Mercury is the command-entry module incorporating channel selection; Saturn is the moving light controller with integrated trackball and six supplementary digital wheels; Uranus is the tenfold master module with motorized 100mm faders; and rounding off the range is Jupiter, the fader module, with 22 manual faders. Each module can be used independently; the APN (avab peripheral network) interface also makes it possible to add one or more avab-Solaris modules to existing avab-VLC systems. Every module is equipped with an integrated touch-screen used primarily for entering commands. In addition, each has its own tilting display, which shows in graphical form the values and statuses relevant to a particular module at a particular time, regardless of what is displayed on the screens of the avab-VLC-Safari software.

Hi all,
Our first app just got published on Ovi Store. I have manually selected all countries and all Symbian ^3 devices with resolutions 360x640 and 640x360.
Now the app is showing as new content on Ovi Store from PC, but it's not showing up on my E7 (Symbian ^3 device). I manually sent a link to my E7, the Ovi Store starts fine, but it shows error "This content is not available for my device".
Can anyone shed some light what could be the issue?

Source: Wintery Knight Secular leftists (as well as many religious leftists) hold the views they do not because the views are internally coherent, but because they they fear being ostracized by their peers for holding conservative opinions. Moral posturing -- holding politically correct viewpoints -- is more important than clear thinking in the secularist canon. This explains why the moral and cultural conservative is so often greeted with pejoratives rather than any reasoned rebuttal of his opinions. It is also why the defender of abortion loathes direct questioning. He knows his views are weak (applause is more important than any search for truth), and an informed moral and cultural conservative can dispense with them without too much effort.

Colonel Steven G. O'Donnell, Superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police and Commissioner of Public Safety, announces that at 3:57 a.m., on Sunday September 15th, 2013, Troopers responded to numerous 911 calls for a pedestrian being struck by a motor vehicle on Route 195 east, just prior to the Taunton Avenue exit in the City of East Providence.
The investigation revealed that the pedestrian was struck by a single motor vehicle while walking in the left travel lane on the Washington Bridge, approximately 1100 feet west of the Taunton Avenue exit. Witnesses stated that they observed a pedestrian wearing dark colored clothing walking in the left lane of travel just prior to being struck. The operator of the vehicle attempted to avoid the collision, but was unable to do so. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene by the Rhode Island Medical examiner's office.
The identity of the pedestrian has not been released, pending notification to family members. The State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is also assisting in this investigation.

The Raiders have signed ex-Giants TE Kevin Boss, according to reports on ESPN.
Boss' new deal is worth $16 million over four years.
Last season, Boss caught 35 passes for 531 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games (13 starts) for the Giants.
The way we see it
This is a solid signing for the Raiders, who had a major need at tight end after Zach Miller opted to sign with the Seahawks earlier in the week. As for the Giants, they are now the ones with a void at tight end, as they have no proven players at the position on the roster.

Don't Worry, Be Happy!
The bridge spanning the river between our village and the neighboring village was never well-constructed. Oftentimes it cracks or pieces of it collapse and the repairs are always temporary and poor in quality. One morning a taxi driver's van fell right through the middle of the bridge as it collapsed beneath him. But, why worry? I think this picture of the taxi driver and his van greatly demonstrates South Africans' ability to look past adversity with a smile, and not worry about circumstances beyond their control.

Alaska - we LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it and my oldest after meeting the guys who took care of us zip lining (who by the way knew our names after about 5 minutes - unlike the dining staff) and the girl who drove us out to the Dog Sled Musher Camp - is now looking into going to Alaska next summer as a tour guide.
Not sure what the point of stopping in Victoria was - I would have rather more time in either Juneau or Ketchikan.
We too took advance of the Luggage Express (is this a new feature? are all cruiselines doing this? I don't recall this being offered before). What a terrific service - especially seeing I was able to check all bags under just me and didn't have to pay the $20 for each of my girls - I was able to check them in on my phone.
My mother after much searching found the quilting group and enjoyed meeting up with them.
While in Seattle we had a dinner at the Crab Pot - FANTASTIC and we went to the Chihuly exhibit - that was TERRIFIC.
End up with about 500 photos - making a vacation dvd for my parents. It really was terrific for my kids and I to get so much time with my parents.
All and all it was a terrific trip and I'd really like to go back one day.

Plus, imo, you'd get more comfortable shooting with your own style rather than having a set system made by someone else.
Fine Arts courses specifically teach you to copy the style of the artists. So that when you do develop your own style, it will contain elements that you like of the Great Masters.

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) -- Smoking will be a little trickier at this year's Minnesota State Fair.
A new rule limits smoking to 18 stations set up around the fairgrounds. Smokers will no longer be allowed to light up while walking down Dan Patch Avenue.
The fair's governing board approved the new rule in January. It will be enforced when this year's Great Minnesota Get-Together runs Aug. 22 through Sept. 2.
A State Fair spokeswoman tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press the decision came after years of seeing how other fairs handle smoking.
The Minnesota State Fair already banned smoking in all buildings on the Fairgrounds as well as in entertainment venue seating areas such as the band shell and Grandstand. But until now, smoking was allowed in most public areas.

Union: We have always regarded Biggs as a nonentity
General secretary of the train driver's union Aslef said although they feel sorry for Ronnie Biggs' family, "We have always regarded Biggs as a nonentity, and a criminal, who took part in a violent robbery which resulted in the death of a train driver".
Mick Whelan said, "Jack Mills, who was 57 at the time of the robbery, never properly recovered from the injuries he suffered after being savagely coshed by the gang of which Biggs was a member that night."
Mr Mills died a few years after the Great Train Robbery took place.

Binding of the protoxin and toxin proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki on clay minerals
Authors: Venkateswerlu, G., Stotzky, G.
Journal, Volume, Year: Current Microbiology, volume 25:1-9, 1992
Adsorption and binding of protoxins (132 kDa) and toxins (66 kDa) from Btk on two types of clays were evaluated. Adsorption and binding was greater on montmorillonite (M) compared to kaolinite (K). Maximum adsorption occurred within 30 min and approximately 2- to 3-fold more toxin than protoxin was adsorbed on M and K. Desorption of protoxin and toxin occurred more easily from K compared to M. Adsorption was highest at the lower pH and decreased at pH increased. Binding did not appear to alter structure or eliminate insecticidal activity of protoxins and toxins. Clay-toxin complexes were toxic to third instar larvae of Trichoplusia ni.
The Btk toxins used in this study were Dipel or obtained from Abbott Laboratories. Experiments used pure montmorillonite and kaolinite. Experiments did not use natural soil or Bt toxins derived from transgenic crops.

Great product ..I would definitely recommended to a friend and buy more of these for my new home...very happy w/product.

Thought I'd give an LED bulb a try. Couldn't believe how heavy the thing was. We put it up in our old mud room, and love what it does! So much light with just a fraction of the wattage. It even makes a cool pattern on the ceiling (not sure if they meant for that to happen). Love it - bit pricey though.

Former UFC middleweight Nate Marquardt will address being fired by Dana White and the Ultimate Fighting Championship today as well as address the nature of his failed medicals that prevented him from headlining UFC on Versus 4 this past Sunday night. Up until now, we do not know the nature of his medical issue nor why it wasn't resolved, but Marquardt states he will address those matters today. His management team also released the following statement on Sunday night before the Versus broadcast:
Nate Marquardt was not medically cleared by the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission at UFC on Versus 4. Nate was looking forward to making his welterweight debut and is disappointed by this unfortunate turn of events. Nate wants to apologize to his family, friends, fans and the UFC. This outcome was certainly not what he wanted. At this time, Nate wants to be with those closest to him so he can evaluate his situation over the coming days.
As for why he waited so long to make a statement when doing so earlier would preclude speculation:
We weighed all the options and presented them to Nate. We felt it was better to wait until he was comfortable. He'd just been fired. He lost a huge pay day. We wanted to respect his wishes and give him time to collect himself. He needed time to talk to his family and to inform his coaches and teammates. He'll tell the whole story today.
We will update this StoryStream with whatever results come from Marquardt's statements today.

CHICAGO, IL (August 30, 2012) - As part of a three-year grant from the Academy Foundation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the 48th Chicago International Film Festival announces its Spotlight Middle East Program, the second year of the World Cinema Spotlight Program. Spotlight Middle East features the innovative works and exciting new voices from this region including Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and United Arab Emirates.
"As we begin our second year of World Cinema Spotlight, we are honored and excited to be a part of the Academy Foundation's dedication to providing greater access to outstanding international cinema," says Mimi Plauché, Programming Director of the 48th Chicago International Film Festival. "Through this Program, audiences will be exposed to an exciting mix of genres and styles, of independent and mainstream productions and, most importantly, to stories that are both uniquely Middle Eastern and also universal."
"The Academy is thrilled to once again be a part of the Chicago International Film Festival and its international Spotlight program. This year's focus on Middle Eastern films is exemplary of the Academy's desire to celebrate excellence in filmmaking from around the world," said Shawn Guthrie, Grants Coordinator at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Spotlight Middle East highlights include various filmmaking debuts (The Last Friday-Jordan, Meeting Leila-Iran, Off White Lies-Israel, Out in the Dark-Israel/USA, Sharqiya-Israel and The Three Disappearances of Soad Hosni-Lebanon) as well as a program of shorts from the region. Films will be shown at AMC River East 21 (322 E. Illinois St) and will also be presented at "community outreach screenings" at the Logan (2646 N. Milwaukee Ave.) and The New 400 Movie Theater (6746 N. Sheridan Rd.), and to Chicago Public High Schools through the Festival's Education Outreach program. Parallel programs, including a series of conversations, discussions, panels, and master classes, will complement the films presented by illuminating the cultural contexts, filmmaking cultures, and artistic visions and experiences of the individual filmmakers. *Additional films TBA.
The World Cinema Spotlight program furthers the Chicago International Film Festival's mission of exhibiting world-class international and independent film to Festival audiences by presenting films in contexts that foster discussion and understanding. Each region showcased by the program (South Asia, 2011; the Middle East, 2012; and Africa, 2013) produces a remarkable body of films that demonstrates both artistic excellence and a diversity of perspectives. The Chicago International Film Festival was one of the first non-profit cultural and educational film institutions to receive a major grant from the Academy Foundation in 1999, along with The New York and Telluride Film Festivals.
The 48th Chicago International Film Festival will take place October 11-25, 2012. The full schedule will be announced on September 20th.
Spotlight Middle East Films To Date
The Last Friday Jordan (Director: Yahya Al-Abdallah) - A slow-burning comedy filled with dark, absurdist humor, The Last Friday follows Youssef, a down-on-his-luck taxi driver whose lonely, isolated life changes suddenly when he learns that he must scrape together the money for an urgent testicular operation. Youssef finds himself reaching out to now-estranged friends and family, both for the money needed to save him and to salvage what's left of his life.
Meeting Leila Iran (Director: Adel Yaraghi) - With another brilliant performance from A Separation star Leila Hatami and a script co-written by renowned filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, Meeting Leila follows a young woman who demands that her chain-smoking fiancé quits smoking before their marriage. This poses a problem for this advertising agency idea man for whom smoking is an integral part of his creative process in this gently comic, insightful look at the compromises and negotiations required in any relationship.
A Modest Reception Iran (Director: Mani Haghighi) - Tasked with giving away huge sums of money by whatever means possible, Kaveh and Layla drive through the remote, war-torn mountains of Iran with a trunkful of cash. What begins as a seemingly harmless game soon reveals itself to be a twisted bout of charity as the power, humiliation, and shame inherent in their act plays out between the privileged couple and the impoverished villagers.
Off White Lies Israel (Director: Maya Kenig) - Shy teenager Libby and her infantile father Shaul find themselves without a home as political tensions between Israel and Lebanon erupt into war. Shaul comes up with a creative plan to put a roof over their heads: posing as refugees, they are taken in by a wealthy family in Jerusalem. Finally in a "normal" household, Shaul and Libby begin to build their father-daughter relationship, but their false identities can't last forever.
Out in the Dark Israel/USA (Director: Michael Mayer) - Nimer, a Palestinian student, dreams of a better life abroad. One fateful night he meets Roy, an Israeli lawyer. As their relationship deepens, Nimer is confronted with the harsh realities of a Palestinian society that refuses to accept his sexual identity, and an Israeli society that rejects his nationality.
Sea Shadow United Arab Emirates (Dir. Nawaf Al-Janahi) - Set in a small seaside neighborhood in the United Arab Emirates, Sea Shadow follows teenagers Mansoor and Kaltham as they struggle with tradition and convention in their journey towards adulthood. Bound by family and deeply-rooted values, the pair must find the courage to forge their own path.
Sharqiya Israel (Dir. Ami Livne) - Kamel, a, simple, shy, and good-natured security guard, is torn between two worlds: the Israeli society that treats him and his fellow Bedouins with suspicion, and his own family, who look down on him because he works for the Israelis. When the poor tin shacks where he lives with his family in the desert are threatened with demolition, the normally unassuming Kamel finds himself going to extreme lengths to save his village.
Winter of Discontent Egypt (Director: Ibrahim El-Batout) - Set in the midst of the Tahrir Square demonstrations that, in early 2011, changed Egypt forever, Winter of Discontent explores the uncertainty, anxiety, and euphoria that filled the days and nights leading up to the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak. As seen through the eyes of activist Amr, journalist Farah, and State Security officer Adel, momentous, world-changing events unfold on the ground in urgent, intimate detail in this powerful drama.
Short Films Program - The Spotlight Middle East program will also feature shorts from Egypt, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and U.A.E.

Ellis returned on Sunday against the Rams.||||||| Ellis had missed four straight games with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
Ellis will not be suspended by the NFL after the league completed its review of his legal situation following his guilty plea to misdemeanor assault and battery.||||||| Ellis was sentenced to 45 days in a Virginia prison in May after a fight while in college at Hampton University in 2010. By entering an Alford plea, he didn't admit guilt but acknowledged that prosecutors could prove the case against him. Under an agreement with the court, the 2011 third-round draft pick was granted a split-sentence - 23 days in prison before the season, and the remaining 22 beginning next March 1.
Ellis will split his jail sentence for assault and battery stemming from a 2010 fight while attending college in Virginia, a move that will allow him to make training camp.||||||| Under an agreement with the court, Ellis will report to jail Friday night and remain in custody until July 9. He will then serve the remainder of his 45-day sentence beginning March 1.
Ellis is expected to report to a Virginia prison on Friday.

Ellis has pleaded guilty to assault and battery stemming from a 2010 fight while attending college in Virginia. He was sentenced to 179 days in jail, with 89 suspended. His attorney said Ellis likely would serve 45 days when he reports to jail on June 15.||||||| Ellis originally faced a felony malicious wounding charge from the fight at Hampton University and faced up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Before court, he was served with a $3 million lawsuit from the victim, Dennis Eley. The Jets selected Ellis in the third round of the 2011 draft.

" I'm hoping the community will trust us in making good decisions, knowing that our intention isn't to do this every time we have a chance to do it."
I can't speak for the community, but I don't trust the school to do this right.
"Johnson said, as is the case with drug detection dogs, that every student gets the opportunity to present her or his side of the case."
How wonderful. Johnson, I hope you realize that completely innocent people can get caught up in things like this. It happened to a personal friend of mine. How many innocent kids will have their lives wrecked in this way? Children commit suicide over things like this. Think about it.

Ballot initiative? Dead. On. Arrival.
Do not waste any more community money, time and energy on this. Can't you learn your lessons?

Reading is way overrated. Ask George W. Bush and Sarah Palin. We don't need readers to stock shelves in a grocery store. Public education is a conspiracy to make people overqualified for basic production jobs that keep this society profitable. Beware of the coming tsunami. It's because the union teachers are corrupting our young.
on Feb 17, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Kids don't commit suicide over a search. Haven't seen that one yet. They do it over bullying, absent parents, and others that pressure them beyond their capabilities. Last time I checked we gave up a few civil liberties to live in a safe society. Don't you want kids to be safe at school? Don't you want kids to drive drug and alcohol free?
on Feb 17, 2012 at 8:19 pm
Really?, you have no idea what the circumstances are regarding youth suicides in the last 5 years or are hopelessly out of touch.

Max Holloway isn't legal to drink alcohol yet, but he had plenty to celebrate at UFC 150 in Denver on Saturday.
The 20-year-old Hawaiian featherweight, the youngest active fighter on the UFC roster, improved to 6-1 with a second-round finish of Justin Lawrence.
Download New MMA Fighting iPhone App
In a close, back-and-forth first round, Lawrence landed effective strikes, but Holloway opened a deep cut over Lawrence's right eye with a right to the temple as Lawrence charged in. Holloway also landed a pair of low blows in the round.
Holloway opened up late in the second, backing Lawrence off with a knee and dropping him with a wicked punch to the liver. Lawrence covered up as Holloway opened up his offense until referee Josh Rosenthal stopped it at 4:49 of the round.
"We wanted the fight of the night and we put it out there for the fans," Holloway said of he and Lawrence's performance.
Lawrence, an Ultimate Fighter 15 contestant, dropped to 4-1 on his career.

Virginia State Police are trying to figure out what caused a crash that killed a Vinton man on Tuesday afternoon.
According to Sergeant Robert Carpentieri, of State Police's Salem division, the crash took place around 4:20 p.m. in Bedford County, on Route 755, about one-tenth of a mile north of the road's intersection with Route 650.
The investigating trooper's preliminary investigation found a 2010 Ford Focus driven by 70-year-old Joe Billy Bayless, of Vinton, was going north on Route 755. The car ran off the left side of the road, hit a mailbox, then a tree. The impact killed Bayless.
The trooper found Bayless was wearing his seatbelt.
The investigation is ongoing.
