Steep Canyon Rangers Biography:
As their jam sessions progressed and became more frequent, they also became more musically astute, learning each other's grooves and finding they could predict each other's next move. Because they all played acoustic music, they started gravitating toward bluegrass tradition - an area which was fairly new to most of them, but which they found to be a perfect fit for their energy and musicality. They began to learn some of the old bluegrass standards, just to try them on for size, then started playing those songs in gigs around town. Mostly, though, the Steep Canyon Rangers' gigs were always full of original songs written by various members of the band (they all contribute originals). Occasionally, they'd throw in a bluegrass cover or a Grateful Dead tune, depending on the time and the place, and the audience.
As graduation neared, they brought in fiddler Nicky Saunders to round out the sound, and started realizing there was a possibility they could make a real mark in a career as musicians. Even though each of them had gone into college choosing a path which would send them in the direction of a "real job," their musical pursuits were proving more fruitful and fun than they'd ever expected. After graduation, they started touring and eventually left their "real jobs" altogether to pursue music full time. They made their first album independently and then slowly, surely, climbed the ladder of indie labels and distribution deals until they managed to score a deal with Rebel Records and then with Rounder Records for their collaborative backing band projects with Steve Martin.
The first recording with Martin earned the group a Grammy nomination, which was followed in 2012 by a nomination for their own album, Nobody Knows You. They also started their own music festival in their hometown of Brevard, NC, called the Mountain Song Festival which, in 2012, got its own cruise. The Mountain Song Cruise features folks like David Grisman, Punch Brothers, the Travelin' McCourys, Steep Canyon Rangers (of course), and more. Learn more about Steep Canyon Rangers, the Mountain Song Cruise, and upcoming tour dates via their website at SteepCanyon.com.

Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambert Get On Twitter To Discuss Separation Rumors
First it was a rumor that Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert were pregnant. Now it is a rumor about the two splitting over an affair. Life & Style Magazine, which reported both of these "stories," is featuring the two on their cover about a showdown with a younger woman. The younger woman Life & Style is referring to is Cady Groves.
Blake & Miranda took the comedy route, as the often do, and vented about the cover on Twitter.
Hey @mirandalambert… I just read in a tabloid that our marriage is falling apart!!! FOCK!!!—
Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) March 18, 2013
"@blakeshelton: @mirandalambert, just read in a tabloid that our marriage is falling apart!" Oh no! Can't wait to read if we make it or not—
Miranda Lambert (@mirandalambert) March 18, 2013
"@mirandalambert: Oh no! Can't wait to read if we make it or not"
Ba! Ha! Ha! You see y'all!!! I'm making her funnier!!!—
Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) March 18, 2013
@blakeshelton why are we tweeting each other when we are literally laying an inch apart? Wait…don't answer that….:) #keepitclean—
Miranda Lambert (@mirandalambert) March 18, 2013
It is good to see that Blake and Miranda can both joke about the situation. And yes, Miranda is definitely getting funnier on Twitter.

Local legislators had mixed reactions to the $108 billion budget approved by the state Legislature in an unusual Father's Day session.
In a 4-1 vote on Tuesday, Turlock City Council members approved the general fund budget, which reflects $32.4 million in spending, for the next fiscal year set to begin on July 1.
In a unanimous vote on Tuesday, the Turlock City Council decided to move forward with the next stage of the North Valley Regional Recycled Water Project – a proposal to sell treated wastewater to farmers in west Stanislaus County by developing what would be one of the largest regional recycled water projects in the nation.
Local legislators are opposing a proposal that would eliminate funds promised to help reduce pollution in the Central Valley.
Despite impassioned pleas against its construction, a new Taco Bell is one step closer to being built on N. Golden State Boulevard near the Pitman High campus.
Turlock's one-of-a-kind ice skating rink will nearly double in size for its second year of operation this coming holiday season, as the City Council approved an expansion plan at the site operated by RAM Farms.
Turlock's one-of-a-kind ice skating rink will nearly double in size for its second year of operation this coming holiday season, as the City Council approved an expansion plan at the site operated by RAM Farms.
While there remains uncertainty whether or not the proposed citywide transportation tax being placed before Turlock voters in November will receive adequate support, the tax is guaranteed to be spent on repairs solely and not transit costs if approved, said the City Council on Tuesday.
The City Council took another pivotal step towards replacing Turlock's current at-large voting system with district-based elections on Tuesday, choosing to move forward with one of the three proposed maps outlining district boundaries throughout the city.
The Turlock City Council will consider two big issues at Tuesday's post holiday meeting - the City's road tax initiative and electoral district boundaries.
As President Barack Obama has recently called for a recommitment to improving the nation's transportation infrastructure, so has the Stanislaus Council of Governments, who informally agreed on Wednesday to commit to bringing forth a countywide transportation tax to Stanislaus County in November 2016.
Despite recently passing a major milestone required for receiving state and federal funding, the Highway 165 realignment project currently faces an uncertain future due to the threatened impending bankruptcy of the federal Highway Trust Fund – a possibility that some are calling the "transportation cliff" that has already stalled critical road repairs throughout the nation.
Seeking public input on the proposed projects that will receive federal funding for major transportation and roadway improvements, the Stanislaus Council of Governments – the regional transportation planning agency – will hold a public hearing on Wednesday at a meeting in Ceres.
California's multi-billion dollar deficit will be completely eliminated by 2018, according to the May Revise of Gov. Jerry Brown's state budget released on Tuesday.
Although not considered a "full-time" job, the weekly duties fulfilled by Turlock's elected officials often require many hours not only for public meetings and events, but also representing the City on other various local commissions and governmental agencies.
A third Taco Bell will soon be calling Turlock home as the Turlock City Council on Tuesday denied local citizens' appeal to reject the fast food franchise's minor discretionary permit location.
While Stanislaus County has developed multiple strategies to resourcefully combat issues caused by the ongoing drought in the state of California, the Board of Supervisors took one step further on Tuesday by unanimously voting to adopt a financial assistance pilot program for a select group of local water well users.
Congressman Jeff Denham spoke with locals about veterans affairs on Monday, but he didn't attend an event or host a public meeting - he led a telephone-townhall.
Locals protesting the establishment of a new Taco Bell in Turlock will meet before the City Council on Tuesday as the members will determine if the process to establish the fast food chain near Pitman High School will continue.
At the behest of Stanislaus Council of Governments Board Chairman Vito Chiesa the regional transportation agency opted to support Turlock's initiative to approve a half-cent city wide road tax on the November ballot despite previous tension leading Turlock to consider abandoning support of the county's own future road tax initiative.
Students used to walking to the park after school and purchasing an ice cream from vendors on bikes - affectionately referred to as the "palatero men" in Latin culture - may have to either walk further or find a new place to buy their sweet treat as the City of Turlock is taking steps to enforce its municipal code as it relates to vendors.

Lake County Master Gardeners Association, Inc. News Release:
Lake County Master Gardeners Association, Inc. has its first website for the general public to peruse for plant information, upcoming events, and gardening projects.
Due to Class of 2010's Gayle Smotek's relentless efforts, the curious will learn about what the organization does regularly. At the December plant sale meeting, Dian Fruth suggested the Lake County Library offers free web sites to not-for-profit organizations. Identifying LCMG as a 5013c group, Gayle discussed the need with Lynn Jackson, website coordinator, who offered numerous suggestions as well as sending library policy and regulations. Patiently helping Gayle set up the site as well as teaching her how to add updates, with numerous duties Ms. Jackson stressed her willingness to answer questions, suggesting Weebly as a sample site.
Researching other websites, Gayle created pertinent material on several pages and sent them to Kathy Kick, plant sale chairman, Sharon Taylor-Raduchel, President, and Nikky Witkowski, Purdue Extension educator/coordinator. With their additions and corrections, Gayle offered pictures and revisions to Lynn Jackson, who gave directions on how to edit, get it on the server, and then to the website.
Truly a team effort, the LCMG encourages readers to view www.lakecountymastergardeners.com

This is a classic boulder and a must if in the area. There are many problems on this boulder. It has good warm-up problems that get you ready for the rest of the area on the east face and, of course, the classic, sloper lowball - Chinese Algebra on the west face.
Getting There
From the parking area, head through the green gate (make sure to close) and down. Coming to a creek - cross it (it's easy) - and head up to a path that parallels the creek. Head down (S) the path passing a few large boulders, with some easy highball problems on it, eventually hitting somewhat of a clearing - allowing a view of a set of big boulders spaced about a hundred yards apart from each other. The first one that you hit is the Chinese Algebra Boulder.

August 31, 2012 — Steven Weber (ECE), Harish Sethu (ECE), Kapil Dandekar (ECE), and Spiros Mancoridis (CS) have received a four-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the project, "Medium: Securing the Wireless Philadelphia Network."
This project uses the Wireless Philadelphia Network (WPN) as a testbed to investigate three diverse security challenges facing any large-scale wireless network servicing a heterogeneous population. The network is a metropolitan–area network (MAN) consisting of thousands of Tropos 5210 wireless mesh routers distributed across the entire city of Philadelphia and connected by a fiber backbone.
The first challenge is in efficient network anomaly detection algorithms, and the proposed solution is to investigate the efficacy of both compressive sampling and distributed source coding based approaches in reducing the amount of data that must be transmitted to the anomaly detector. The second challenge is physical layer security in wireless networks, and the proposed solution is to use physical layer based encryption algorithms and user authentication. The third challenge is anomaly detection at the application layer, in particular for web servers, and the proposed solution is to develop software sensors on the hardware, operating system, virtual machine, and application server, and develop rules for identifying possible anomalies using these metrics.
The amount of the grant is $1,080,445, with the Department of Computer Science receiving $270,111.

A promising drive ended badly for the Cleveland Browns in the third quarter of their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After a penalty nullified a field goal and gave Cleveland a new set of downs, the Browns drove to the Jacksonville six-yard line on third down. Quarterback Colt McCoy tried to hit tight end Ben Watson, but was intercepted by Jacksonville defensive back Dawan Landry.
Check out the video of McCoy's interception right here.
Landry returned the ball 28 yards before being tackled by none other than McCoy himself. Cleveland did manage to get something of a break, if you can call it that, on the play. McCoy looked as though he was injured while making the tackle, but he managed to return to the field on the next drive.
In the fourth quarter, he connected with Josh Cribbs for a touchdown pass to make it a 14-7 game in their favor.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
What a wonderful school this is. The parents and staff all worked together to make sure that the instructional time is the best.
This is a phenomenal school. It's unfortunate that parents would jump up and give the entire school one star based upon the fact that the LAUSD was going to bring in a federally mandated program - a program that won't be coming to Castlebay this year after all. But, the teachers, the staff, the kids and the parents are really dedicated and the parent group works very hard to make the school the best that it can be.
I am a student at this school, and I love mr mena! I am so fortunate to have him. He is really a cool teacher!! All my teachers , and all the teachers are very advanced. Mrs. Littlejohn, the principal, believes in everyone's potential, too. This is the best school ever, I tell you, BEST!!!!!!
We love Mr. Mena couldn't of asked for a better teacher , my child actually enjoys going to school and learning ...every child should be lucky to have him !! Mrs. Dorfman is also another favorite ...and a great new addition to the school , mrs. Littlejohn , she's brought so many wonderful changes to our school. From a happy parent :-)
This is a great school and they have some very experienced teachers. My son had Mrs Buchanan last year and she does a lot of extra things in her class, incorporating stuff she's taught in upper level grades. My son still amazes me with stuff he's learned from her class. Ms Littlejohn, the principal is very personable and attentive to the students. She has brought improvements to the school, in small ways, like keeping the campus clean, increasing security measures (even before Sandy Hook), and recognizing outstanding students over the PA system. Parent involvement also has a lot to do with the success of the school and in this area, it can vary from class to class and year to year. Students get so much more when their parents are involved and engaged. There are many opportunities for helping out, but sometimes it seems it always the same small group that is pitching in. (unfortunately, I don't agree with the other review below - if that was years ago with other players involved, that should be discounted. As a parent, I'd want to know how the school is rated, now, not 10+ years ago).
Castlebay is a very pretty school situated in a "nice" area. It has a lot of pros and a few cons. Pros: Parent involvement is great and kids come to school ready to learn. Very dedicated teaching staff. Good principal. Good test scores. Has an intimate, small school feeling. Cons: Not enough emphasis is put on remediation within the general education program with an over reliance on special education to meet this need. Just became an affiliated charter and has not figured out how to make the most of this new status (yet). Overall- very good school with a trend towards improvement.
I agree with the previous parent's comment more than 100 percent about the on site after school care provided by YMCA. The service is horrible. The staff does not care about the children at all. They just sit and chat and the children can do anythining of their own. They only provide one hour to do the homework and rush the kids to finish so they can play outside and the staff can sit under a tree and enjoy chatting and relaxing. Castlebay Y is not a good afterschool program at all. I decided to take my child out and to place in a more professional after school program.
The school itself is good. One of the best in the North Valley - strong involvment from parents, mostly great teachers and administrators (the new principal is great). The problem is with the onsite afterschool childcare by YMCA. The Y staff is nice but young and inexperienced. I often see kids playing way far from the building, sometimes out of sight from where the staff members are sitting and chatting under the tree. The monthly fees are not cheap for the hours they provide care and yet, parents are asked to do donations and pay for misc. things. Recently we paid for the cost of new earthquake kit which the squirrels got into and ate some food in it. We were told it is mandatory to pay because they are required to have these kits. If it's mandatory for a childcare center to have earthquake kits, shouldn't they be responsible for them? For those working parents, you might as well consider paying a bit more and send your kids to an affordable private school with better afterschool care.
Castlebay is a wonderful school. It's a wonderful place to grow up during your youngest childhood years, in a community of caring parents, inspiring teachers, and experienced administration. The good family values taught at home really show in the attitudes and behaviors of the students. The academics as well as the social atmosphere is absolutely wonderful - my son has tested with an IQ of 154 (highly-gifted genius level), and he simply thrives here with the support of his teachers and his wonderful friends. Not only does he get his academic challenge, but he learns how to communicate with others in a very healthy way -- which is extremely important, especially important, for a person with such intellectual giftedness. Part of it, is because he is not alone. Lots of kids at Castlebay are tested into the "gifted" category. My son has friends with whom he can share his interests in nature and science and building with, and at the same time, he also has friends who teach him what "good friendship" is all about. The kids at Castlebay are the most amazing thing about this school - more so, than their curriculum or parent involvement or test scores. WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
.We want to love this school but there are some obstacles. The positive: This school is surrounded by a great community with caring parents who donate time, talent, ideas and money like nowhere else. There is a culture among the parents that education is VERY important and that is why this school performs well (on paper). There is an abundance of parent participation. Also, a nice enrichment program to help round out the children's education and provide afterschool activities. For a school with a great a reputation, there is a surprising lack of pride. Sadly, we have found some of the teachers seem to be winding up their career and are simply going through the motions. There is little respect shown to the students by some faculty. The children are herded through the campus and spoken to like farm animals. Budget cuts seem to be a daily theme. If only this staff would realize respecting the students and treating them well didn't cost any money. Kids are obviously getting an adequate education. However, we've seen little inspiration and the school seems to lack "heart." Could be an amazing school with some visionary leadership.
I love the how everyone is interested in making our kids succeed.
Great teachers and staff, smart students, and dedicated parents!
Both of my children went to this school and the teaching staff if unbeatable. First grade teachers make the class fun and challenging. No better teacher at the school then Mrs. Fernandes, (dedicated to each of her students and always available to parents) unfortunately she passed away this year. Ms. Wiley and Ms Genna are both excellent choices
Great choice for elementary school. The teachers were some of the best that my daughter has ever had. After being quite successful due to Mr. Moore and Dr. Field's help my daughter went off to an extinguished private middle and high school.
Castlebay School is the best among LAUSD schools by far with a superior excellent principal, but is definetly behind if compared to private schools. Our kid attended the Kindergarten and was a great learning experince. However, 1st grade was a disaster for all as the learning curve took a dive. The high rating is only achieved because the parents teach the kids extra at home and at Kumon classes otherwise the school rating is no better than Germain. Teachers grade the kids depending on parents social activity in class and not on child's own academics. To save our child we moved to a private school.
They are known to be extremly rude. The staff is actually nice your a participating parent. There are a few teachers that yell a lot and I've already pulled my son out of Montessori because of the same issue. I don't believe that any teacher should yell at anyone unless a child's safety is at issue and they need to to get their attention urgently.
My child was in Mrs. Kimmel and Mrs. Goldstein's class last year. They are wonderful teachers and my child is in love with school! I want to thank them both for a tremendous involvement in mine and other parent's children. My family is so blessed to be at a school with teachers and staff who care so much about these children. My child adores Mr. Norris, he is a wonderful addition to an already wonderful staff!
My daughter had Ms. Cipriano as her kindergarten teacher last year. Ms. Cipriano did a phenomenal job with an extremely challenging class. She creates a fun and loving environment while maintaining academically stringent standards. I only hope my youngest child will be fortunate enough to have her as his teacher, too.
I teach at many schools and without a doubt, Castlebay School is a 10 star schools in my book. The Principal, office staff, teachers and children are all superior to any other school I have worked with. They are a 10 star in my book.
Mrs. Braun is dedicated, professional, exceptionally competent, loving and kind to each student in her classes.

Thread: Spielman as GM
Spielman as GM
So after the Childress debacle I can remember being very vocal about wanting Wilf to bring in a real, honest,qualified football GM to run the team due to the Wilfs lack of experience with football and their track record with the previously described debacle.
The reason was to isolate the accountability and give one guy the power to build the team as he sees fit. Well, while he got the title Wilf retained power over the coach and in many ways neutered Spielman so that he had no control over who coached the players he brought in which means you can't objectively evaluate the job he could do if given the power he should have had.
To me it doesn't matter. While I like his drafts for the most part the fact that he went through the preseason with the team underperforming and telling the nation that they had the right players and that they didn't need a QB competition and that Ponder was the guy in the face of nearly all fans and local media seeing at least enough to open the position for competition prior to the season and letting it shake out tell me that he either didn't know or was too weak to challenge the owner and coach about the situation that could have fixed things before they started.
So I am on the replace the whole damn front office bandwagon IF they bring in a real football guy to run the team and if Wilf steps back and limits himself to writing checks and takes Brother Mark with him. Otherwise they might just as well keep who they have and go with it.
Part one might happen, but the Wilfs are fans who think they know how to run a team and would never dream of stepping back which means one thing they will not replace the HC with anybody that fits the bill as a guy who can take control of this team and make it happen. John Gruden as an example wont be considered as he wont be told what to do. same as Bill Cowher, I'm not saying these guys are interested or would even consider the job I'm just saying that's the type of HC we need but all; the time the Wilfs own the Vikings it wont happen which means Adrian's career goes the way of Barry Sanders.Purple till i die
All I know is when you watch the Vikings you find 2 things that are consistent and occur on a regular basis:
They have the unique ability on offense of making even the most routine plays on offense look insurmountable and they have the unique ability on defense of making even the most pedestrian QB's look they they belong in the Hall of Fame when they play us. This is something that cannot be denied and it has been the case for far too long to be a coincidence.
I am not sure what it will take to change that but I do know it needs to be drastic and it needs to come from someone who is not currently a part of this organization.
The one thing I want to point out in this discussion is our drafts, for the first time that I can remember (and I'm 43 years old), we have had excellent drafts. This isn't just me saying this, this is ESPN and the NFL Network. Whoever is making those decisions should keep their job(s), no if ands or buts.
Whoever takes control of this team after Frazier gets the boot (and judging by the NFL's history, Frazier will be held to account before anyone else) has a lot of good players to build off of...except for QB. I'm assuming Freeman will ultimately not work out, only because nothing this year has worked out.
If we put the person who did last year's draft in charge of getting us an elite QB, I truly believe he or she will get us a winner.Men are moved by two levers only: fear and self interest.
~Napoleon Bonaparte on Politics
Before the season I was on board with your philosophy. So much so that I was actually labeled a company yes man. But to be honest I don't see that talent manifesting itself very well on the field. Hopefully it is just shitty coaches and we can fix that but seriously- is there one unit on the team without multiple glaring holes?
I thought the secondary might improve but it looks terrible.
I thought the ol had gotten better talent wise but it looks terrible.
I thought we had drafted some great depth at LB but they look terrible.
I thought the QB spot might be marginal but the look terrible
I hope we could bring in a new coaching staff and they could find a way to win with this group but I just don't don't trust them until they prove it at this point.

Stick with this GM and their will be a lot of empty seats at TCF, even if they replace the coaching staff.
Spielman gave Frazier Robinson instead of Winfield; Henderson instead of Brinkley; Ponder instead of Kaepernik/Wilson/Dalton; Patterson instead of Harvin; Carlson instead of a fence post.
Frazier gave fans Robinson instead of Rhodes; Simpson instead of Patterson; Mitchell instead of Bishop; and no competition at the quarterback position.
Fire them all and hire someone with knowledge and experience to hire your next GM. Let that GM hire your next head coach, and the Vikings may win a superbowl someday.
Keep any part of this staff and it will be another half decade of futility. Mark my words.

Everyone will want to fire Musgrave and Frazier, and believe me, they are gone. But, if you don't fire Spielman and start over, this nightmare of a joke has no chance of improvement.
Lets talk front office for one moment...

Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
Newbury will be charging $1 per small kitchen-size trash bag for all residents starting Jan. 1 at the transfer station. If you are up in arms about this (the cost per household will be huge in comparison to the dump sticker fee!).
A meeting is scheduled for Thursday at 9 a.m. at Newbury Town Hall. Please put whatever you're doing on hold and protest this outrage of fees that we will have to pull out of already empty pockets. Maybe it was scheduled at this hour because most people go to work? I am going to work late just to be there.
Please, please, let's voice our opinions if you are not in agreement with paying$1 a bag to get rid of your garbage.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Thousands lined the streets as Santa Claus and Louisville's mayor flipped a switch and illuminated downtown for the holiday season Friday night.
The annual Light Up Louisville event drew interest from people who also attended the University of Louisville's basketball game at the KFC Yum! Center. Plenty of children and their parents attended, too.
[PREVIOUS STORY: Light Up Louisville counts on UofL crowd to boost celebration]
"My daughter saw on TV that the 'real' Santa would be in the parade," said Deziray Hoke of Salem, Ind. "She wants to see Santa really bad."
Metro Police escorted Saint Nick to the main stage at Fourth and Main streets, where the crowd counted down to the lighting ceremony. Two decorated trees lit up, and fireworks shot off over the downtown buildings.
"There are a lot of people, but everyone's very friendly," said Bobbie Johnson, who was at the event with her grandson. "We were lucky to find a seat."
Kids got a chance to give their gift requests to Santa after the ceremony. Prior to Santa's arrival, a parade lasted about an hour downtown.
Floats, fire trucks, marching bands and even horses made their way through the crowds.
"We've never been down here for this," said Hoke, who has kids ages 5, 3 and 1 year old. "The kids love it."
Light Up Louisville kicked off the 40 Days of Lights downtown, a Christmas light display along Fourth Street that happens every evening through Jan. 1. To see the full schedule of events, click here.

Apartments condemned
DALLAS -- If the crumbling walls of an Oak Cliff apartment complex could talk, they might tell a tale of a dark history and a not-too-bright future.
"Lee Harvey Oswald lived in this unit over here," said Jane Bryant during a tour of the dilapidated property.
When Bryant learned that President Kennedy's assassin had lived in apartment No. 2 until early 1963, she was instantly taken with the place.
"I wanted to preserve it because I thought it was important," she said.
But after buying the building in 2007, Bryant was ordered to bring it up to code. She complains that one zoning obstacle after another prevented her from doing the necessary work.
In 2011, the city condemned the property, with a demolition deadline set for this Friday. But Bryant has found the demolition process to be as convoluted as her fruitless renovation effort.
She has been ordered to tear down the building, but she said she has been repeatedly denied a permit to do it. So News 8 contacted the city to find out what the problem is. Not long after that, a building inspector showed up here at the property with some answers.
The inspector wouldn't talk on camera, but told Bryant she can get a permit to do the demolition job on her own, instead of having to pay for an expensive demolition and salvage company. That's a big breakthrough that she said hasn't been possible until now.
But, it is bittersweet.
"I am very sad to see it like this," she said. "I never thought it would come to this."
Bryant is relieved she will be able to save a lot of money; but she is also disheartened that she won't be able to save a piece of Dallas history.

Yahoo's Jason Cole is reporting that free agent CB Cortland Finnegan is actively lobbying for WR Vincent Jackson to join him in Tampa Bay in what would amount to the biggest FA splash by the Bucs in years. Biggest isn't always best though, and personally I'm hoping the Bucs throw money at two solid players who aren't elite rather than, say, sign Mario Williams. The timing is extremely curious- after all, free agency doesn't start until the 13th. It seems stange Finnegan would have already chosen his location before any offers could be tendered.
If this deal did go through it could be a godsend to the Carolina Panthers. I've said for a while now that Tampa Bay is the stumbling block in the top ten that could prevent a slide of Morris Claiborne to the Panthers. If the Bucs sign Finnegan it's likely they would take Trent Richardson or an offensive lineman and from there we could see the dominoes fall favorably.
It's a double edged sword. Sure, out of the gate Finnegan makes the Bucs better (and gives them one of the most annoying players in football) but if they were to get Claiborne I think they'd be far better down the road. If you're a fan who hope every night that we'll be hearing Claiborne or Blackmon's name heading to Carolina on draft day then I'd be hoping this deal goes through.

wate water treatment facility in pleasanton
Original post made by John on Jul 4, 2012
Also I have heard of some foundation problems in valley trails area, does anybody know if similar problem exists in knollbrook drive area.
I will appreciate any related information.
on Jul 4, 2012 at 12:30 pm
The Val Vista neighborhood on the other side of the 680 highway apparently sometimes gets odors from the water treatment plant and I personally remember detecting some odors from the plant on some hot summer days when I was at the Val Vista park. But I've never heard of any odor problems on the other side of the 680 highway where Knollbrook is, nor have I ever personally detected any odors from the plant when I was in the area of Knollbrook.
Some Val Vista and Valley Trails houses reportedly have foundation problems, but those are the only two Pleasanton neighborhoods that I know of that have issues with foundations.
No issues with the Knollbrook area as far as I'm aware.

If you have children you might consider the consequences of auto pollution. Often can't see it or smell it, but it does take a toll on our kids.
on Jul 5, 2012 at 8:00 am
I've detected some odors the day after they serve chili or burritos in the school cafeterias.

The Denver Broncos just continue to win with Tim Tebow at the helm of the offense, but how long can it last? The San Diego Chargers will put Tebow and the Broncos to the test on Sunday, hoping to dislodge Denver from its sole possession of second place in the AFC West. The Chargers opened the game as seven-point home favorites, according to Odds Shark. The line has fallen to six points at places, but the odds makers still see persons preferring the Chargers to end its current five-game losing streak.
But one can't really factor in Tebow Time when setting odds and lines for games that involve the Broncos. The over/under for this game stated at 44-1/2 points but has fallen to 41-1/2 and 42 points. Certainly Tebow could help the Broncos with a strong all-around performance, but he'll need a healthy Willis McGahee to help him do that, as we saw against the Oakland Raiders. Otherwise, this could be a low-scoring game if Tebow is off his game (until the final minutes of play) and the defense is solid against Philip Rivers.
For more Week 12 NFL odds and lines Odds Shark is the place to go. For more on this game, visit Broncos blog Mile High Report and Chargers blog Bolts from the Blue. And check out SB Nation NFL for more on all of Week 12's action.

CATEGORIES Interviews, Golden Globes News, AwardsRicky Gervais has a lot going on. How he keeps up with everything is a mystery to us, but we hope he never stops. The funny every-guy is "flattered and excited" about his new gig hosting the Golden Globes, but don't look for any big production numbers. He plans to skip the song-and-dance routines and stick with what works for him -- being himself, putting the focus on the winners, and popping in here and there to keep things rolling along.
We caught up with him this week, and along with the Globes, he talked about his new animated HBO series 'The Ricky Gervais Show,' the novelty of being heard by Inuit fishermen, and why he plans to keep working Steve Carell "until he collapses like an old horse on a farm." Ricky Gervais has a lot going on. How he keeps up with everything is a mystery to us, but we hope he never stops. The funny every-guy is "flattered and excited" about his new gig hosting the Golden Globes, but don't look for any big production numbers. He plans to skip the song-and-dance routines and stick with what works for him -- being himself, putting the focus on the winners, and popping in here to provide some predictably witty commentary.
We caught up with the comedian last week, and along with the Globes, he talked about his new animated HBO series 'The Ricky Gervais Show,' the novelty of being heard by Inuit fishermen, and why he plans to keep working Steve Carell "until he collapses like an old horse on a farm."
Congratulations on the Golden Globes gig! What are your plans for the show?
Well, I'm not going to try and become a slick host who's the good old boy of the network; that's certainly not going to happen. I'm going to go out there and hopefully do a little bit of roasting ... A strike for the big fat common man at home.
So, no big production numbers?
No, I'm not going to do any pre-recorded sketches of people, no song-and-dance numbers. I'm not going to stand out there for three hours. I'll pop out when I've got something to say to keep it rolling. I'm going to try and keep it party-like and roll with the punches.
Put the focus on the winners and their big night then.
Right, I don't want it to be my show. It's not. It's the winners' show. It's their big day, particularly if it's a first time winner or someone who the room really wants to win. I don't want to dampen it by showing off and going, 'Look who's hosting!' Because it's no big deal to anyone, I don't think. With that said, you know I will do my best, and I'm not going to hold back. It's going to be very me.
What's your game plan for the night?
When I walk out on a stage, there's usually two voices in my head. One that says just be nice and go have a mint after, and the other that says no, say what you thought of saying but thought you shouldn't. There's an argument between good and evil, and the evil one usually wins. You'll see a smile come over my face and we'll see how it goes down. Because I think that's what a comedian does really. I'm not doing this to further my career or get work. I create my own labor. I don't do things to up my profile or get on a list. I do my own thing quietly, and I do it for a laugh. A comedian's job isn't just to make people laugh, it's to make people think. I think we're meant to push the barriers a little bit and see what happens. The other side of the coin is it's so easy to go in there and shock and be awful and insult someone, and that doesn't interest me at all. I think people sometimes confuse rudeness and being a loud mouth moron to being controversial and edgy, and it couldn't be further from the truth.
That's why people love you.
Well, some do [laughs]. I don't try to win people over. I've never done that. I don't want to prove myself to anyone, and I don't create exceptions by the majority. It seems to working, and I think that's how I'm happier.
It's totally working for you. So, do you do a lot off the top of your head, or do you spend time writing things out?
I'll certainly plan things. It would be foolish of me to go out in front of a world crowd of 400 million people without planning. But yes, I certainly have a few things jotted down, and I'm sure I'll rehearse the time walking out and finding the microphone. At the Emmys, I didn't even know where to start. The mic didn't come up, and the thing I did with Steve Carell was 90 percent ad lib. All I knew was I was going to ask for my Emmy back and see where it went from there. Likewise, I obviously didn't know Kate Winslet was going to win the Golden Globe [Best Supporting Actress for 'The Reader'], so that was great. "I told you, Winslet. Do the Holocaust films, and the awards come flooding in." So that was a gift that she had done that. So you roll with the punches.
Keep it fun and interesting.
Right, I'm going to have fun. I hope that the people in the room like what I do, and the people at home watching think it's fun, too. Because there's nothing more boring than watching people win awards. The only people who care about the people who win awards are the ones who have the award in their hands.
What's the vibe at the Golden Globes as compared to other awards shows?
It's like the Oscars and the Emmys all in one room with the best people on TV and in films together. It's not fixed seating. They don't have to sit there like good boys and girls and put their hand up to go to the toilet and then wait to come back. They walk around the tables, they're drinking with their friends, and it's really a nice, relaxed, celebratory atmosphere. That's just what an awards ceremony should be. So, I just hope I don't ruin it for everyone.
How did you get the gig? Do they just choose people? Or do you have to put your name in a hat?
I think it was after I did the thing with Steve Carell [at the Emmys] and apparently, my agent got a few calls about the Oscars and the Emmys and the Golden Globes. Not likely I could do the Oscars; I think I would be the wrong person for the job. For all the reasons I said, they chose the perfect one for me. Then HBO got an email and they sent it to me, and it said something like, "You've been offered the Golden Globes job, what should we say?" I laughed and said, "Oh definitely!" I was flattered and excited. I don't know if it's the right thing for me to do or not, but I don't care. I want to find out.
Are you involved in writing the little bits that the presenters say?
No, I don't want to be involved in that. But if I think something is bad, I might say, "What was that last thing? That was awful. We've got to speed this up. Who's in charge? Who's the director here?" I'm just going to be reactive; I'm going to be like a heckler.
Like the rest of us out here.
Exactly, I'm going to watch it back stage and say, "What was all of that?" I'm going to try and be a bit of an island in terms of what I'm in charge of, and that's going to be my gig, to be honest. So yeah, I don't know how it will work, but I don't want to be blamed for stuff I haven't done is what I'm saying.
Is it different working in the U.S. than Britain? How is the comedy different?
I've been a fan of American [entertainment] for 40 years, from Laurel & Hardy to the Marx Brothers through Woody Allen, who brought modern comedy to the cinema screen. Then came Christopher Guest and his crew, and in sitcom land everything from 'Cheers' through to the audacious, boundary pushing shows. In drama, it keeps pushing the envelope with shows like 'Columbo' and 'Murder One' and then 'The Sopranos,' which I thought would never be surpassed. Then we got 'The Wire' and now 'Damages' and 'Dexter,' which is funny and clever and dramatic and groundbreaking. I couldn't be more proud and happy that I'm getting work in America, and that I'm accepted here for what I do.
And, of course, 'The Office.'
It's bigger than I ever dreamed it would be. I mean, it's the first successful British remake of a sitcom in about 30 years. I'm so lucky and privileged that they let us be involved in that, and I'm glad the original version is seen out there. And 'Extras,' too.
I've talked to other HBO stars who say it's really like a family there.
HBO is the greatest company in the world. They're just amazing and it's such a nice feeling. It really is like a family there. Our new show, 'The Ricky Gervais Show,' is the animated version of the podcast, and I want that to run and run so I'm always on HBO doing something.
Does Carell call on you for 'The Office,' or does he just do his own thing?
No, I think it's important that he puts himself into that role as opposed to mimicking my portrayal of David Brent, and that's what they've done. Obviously, the characters are based on the characters we created in the original version, but it was time for them to do a name change, so they wouldn't always be compared to the British version. It's fantastic, and I couldn't be prouder of them. And as long as I get my cut, I never want them to stop. I never want Carell to take a holiday. I'm going to work him until he collapses like an old horse on a farm.
Can you talk about your upcoming film projects? What's 'Cemetery Junction'?
That's out in April, in the UK first, and I'm so excited about it. I think it's the best thing that Stephen [Merchant] and I have done. It's about blue-collar kids who've grown up in a small town and are trying to escape the feeling of being crushed and trapped. But it's not a depressing, sort of British film. It's all quite glorious. It's like our 'Saturday Night Fever' or 'Rebel Without a Cause.' It's very sort of rock and roll, and we're very excited by it. It's our first real drama, I would say, even though we snuck in drama in 'The Office' and 'Extras.' It was always the way we were going, but sooner or later, you have to drop the Trojan Horse of sneaking stuff in. We're dropping that bit of irony and being as big and glorious and honest and upfront as we can be with this one.
And 'Flanimals' is coming up.
Oh, 'Flanimals'! Again, everything I do is a labor of love. I used to draw those characters to make my nephew laugh, and now it's being developed into a Hollywood film with the guys who did 'The Simpsons Movie.' So again, I couldn't be prouder of it. The most immediate project is 'The Ricky Gervais Show,' the animated HBO show. I think we could have a new 'Simpsons' on our hands because Karl Pilkington is the most bizarre, little round-headed fool I've ever met in my life. I think the world will be captivated by him.
When does that premiere?
February 19 on HBO.
What else do you have in the works?
We're doing more audio books, and the latest is 'The Ricky Gervais Guide to Law & Order' (available on iTunes or Audible). Again, it's a labor of love. I love being in a room with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington talking absolute rubbish. We've had over 119 million downloads, and we get emails from Inuits, which blows Karl's mind. He can't understand where they're downloading this, so he imagines the little fellow fishing in ice hole with an iPod on.
See, your audio books are keeping all those people going on the ice out there.
I hope so. Maybe we'll do a special one just for Aborigines and Inuits and people who are far away from what we call civilization.
Anything else you want to say about the Globes or anything?
I'm blogging on the process [check out Ricky's blog, This Side of the Truth, on RickyGervais.com], so I'll put the announcers up and start saying what I'm thinking of and who's going to be there. Then on that night, I might be blogging on who said something awful backstage; so I'll be Perez Hilton for the night. I'll go backstage with a mask on and dish the dirt. Then out front, I'll be the corporate face.
Do you get nervous, or is it sort of old hat now?
I don't get nervous, because I don't care what happens. I never try and hurt anyone. I try and be amusing, I try and be honest, and I hope that people know that everything I say and do comes from a good place. There's nothing more I can do. I don't want to change, and I don't know whether it's because I've got no ego at all or the biggest ego in the world. But I don't care.

Before the fringe goes into a full frenzy here, lets all take a deep breath and realize that the only license plates that will get checked are those that can be seen IN PUBLIC places while the car is driving around. Any officer or citizen can see your vehicle and it's license plate driivng around, parked in a parking,lot, or parked in your driveway right now.
Let the complaining start.
