Hayes (Forrest Hayes Memorial site)
As news came out Wednesday about manslaughter charges against an alleged upscale prostitute accused of injecting heroin into a Google executive from Dearborn and leaving him to die, his former colleagues expressed disbelief.
�It�s very shocking to me because he was a wonderful man,� said Todd Zion, who worked at Google with Forrest Timothy Hayes, 51, of Santa Cruz. �None of us knew what was going on. You usually see a cause of death and there wasn�t one. We knew something wasn�t quite right, but we didn�t know what was going on.�
Hayes was found dead by the captain of Hayes� 50-foot yacht Escape last November. At the time, a simple obituary described him as a beloved husband and father of five who enjoyed spending time with his family and on his boat.
Hayes worked in the auto industry early in his career, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported. Records show he lived in Michigan in the 1980s and 1990s. He was married for 17 years with five children, according to an obituary in the Santa Cruz Sentinel. He lived in Santa Cruz for years and worked at technology giants such as Sun Microsystems, Apple and Google, according to his friends and family.
Efforts to reach Hayes� family in Michigan on Wednesday were unsuccessful.
On Wednesday, Alix Tichelman, 26, of Folsom stood handcuffed and mumbling in red jail scrubs facing manslaughter charges for her role in Hayes� death, as well as drug and prostitution charges. She is being held on $1.5 million bail.
Surveillance footage from the yacht shows everything, police said, from when she came aboard until after Hayes collapsed. That�s when Tichelman picked up her clothes, the heroin and needles and casually stepped over Hayes as he lay dying. She swallowed the last of a glass of wine, lowered a blind and walked back on the dock to shore, police said.
Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark told the Associated Press on Wednesday that Hayes had hired Tichelman before, and their Nov. 23 encounter �was a mutually consensual encounter including the introduction of the heroin.�
Clark said it appears this might not have been the first time she left someone in trouble without calling 911 or trying to help. Without elaborating, he said his agency is cooperating with police in a different state on a similar case.
�There�s a pattern of behavior here where she doesn�t seek help when someone is in trouble,� he said.
No plea from Tichelman
A memorial blog that was created for Hayes was taken down Tuesday. On the website, friends and co-workers were seemingly unaware of how he died. They fondly described their time together, Christmas parties on his boat, engineering teams at Sun Microsystems, traveling to China for Apple and most recently at Google, where they said he was involved in the Glass eyewear projects.
News vans gathered outside Hayes� hilltop estate overlooking the glittering Monterey Bay on Wednesday. The five-bedroom home is on the market for $4.2 million. The yacht has been sailed out of the harbor to the Bay Area. Hayes� widow has not spoken publicly.
Clark said it�s not clear if Hayes was a frequent drug user, and that in the video, it appears he needed Tichelman to help him shoot up. Clark described Tichelman as a high-end prostitute, who lived three hours away and charged $1,000.
Tichelman did not enter a plea and was appointed a public defender, Diana August, who did not immediately return a phone message.
Hayes 'a family man'
Tichelman�s father has ties to the tech industry. Folsom software firm SynapSense announced hiring her father, Bart Tichelman in 2012. Neither the firm nor her father responded to immediate requests for comment.
Police say Tichelman did not call 911 or provide first aid as Hayes suffered medical complications and went unconscious during the overdose.
�I cannot believe based on the man I saw and what I know about drugs in the world, no way I believe this guy did heroin,� Zion said. �I know people can have a secret life. ... He�s a wonderful man. He�s a family man. With the person I knew this doesn�t make any sense to me.�
Assistant District Attorney Rafael Vazquez said authorities are still investigating the case and may file more serious charges.
Associated Press contributed.

Served in a large Duval tulip glass;
A-Black and thick with a nice tan head of about an inch, lacing was also very nice.
S-Powerful, you can definitely smell the alcohol, but no so overwhelming that you can still identify hints of roasted malt, oak, maybe some vanilla, coffee, dark sugars, alcohol.
T-Taste is excellent! Lots of different flavors here; lots of coffee, some chocolate. A sweetness, but he still get a taste of the hops and malts, oak you definitely feel the warmth of the alcohol on the backside, but that carries the flavors between sips. It feels like the ABV could be a little higher; compares to a Black Tokyo Horizon, my all time favorite.
M-Oily smooth almost to slightly syrupy mouthfeel, nice medium carbonation which carried through the large bottle. Again, you definitely feel the ABV, which seems to dance around on the tongue.
O-This is an excellent beer; lots going on here! A nice comination of sweetness with the high ABV making it a nice sipping beer. Will definitely pick up a few more of these as I would like to see how they age. 8 Wire describes as ambitious, I totally agree!

8 Wired Batch 18 Barrel Aged Imperial stout
3 months on American Oak Barrels
500 ML bottle poured into a tulip Thanks to Mr Kennedy for ordering this for me while I was away.
A-- Poured a dark cola color, settled black with just a hint of ruby at the top of the head. Head is a dark brown sugar color. Maybe 1/4 of an inch height, just above film though. Swirling got a half a finger with a lot of big bubbles in the head that quickly die off to the original 1/4 inch, near film look. No lacing and quick running alcohol legs on the sides of the glass.
S-- Warm vanilla, toasted coconut, warm melted brown sugar or molasses, dark fruits and fresh oak. A little bit of an ethanol smell in the back of the nose but think that is the Oak giving that off. Very fresh wood smell.
T-- Fresh oak, vanilla, and coconut. Oak really dominates though. Tastes sort of green and young because of the Oak. Really softens the other flavors a lot.
M-- Silk smooth feel. Lots of brown sugar, milk chocolate and coffee. Does get a bit harsh acidic coffee and more oak in the back of the mouth. Get some really fresh pine in the back of the mouth as well. Alcohol well hidden though. Low carbonation and medium feel. Oak is a hindrance to the rest of the beer as it hides the flavors too well at times,
O-- Not real keen on the barrel as it is harsh and very heavy wooded at times. Barrel hides some really nice flavors that are in this and the base beer seems pretty good. Sneaky ABV on this. Give this some time to develop a bit and should calm down a bit. For a first effort into this type of beer not all that bad.

Pours a jet kola hue with average carbonation that leaves behind a two finger head that stays and leaves minimal lacing,the smell is dark port,oak,chocolate cherry,strong dark coffee and alcohol,it has a silky smooth medium bodied mouthfeel and has tastes of chocolate coated cherries soaked in brandy,milky coffee,bourbon,oak,roasted malts and finished with a bittersweet twist of fruitcake and dark cocoa nibs,and overall its a nice drop but i think the oak barrel aging was 2 influential and they will get way better with more time.

Many thanks to MrKennedy for this. Huge thanks.
A - major blackfest, oily black. Half finger dark tan head. Spotty lace with legs.
S - vanilla bomb, brown sugar.
T - ok this is weird and wonderful, in an RIS I am getting vanillas, caramels, butterscotches.... crazy but true. Quite sweet. The barrel is almost heavy handed tho, and sucking lolly sticks comes to mind briefly. 90s chardonnay also, but in a good way.
M - lightly carbonated, medium to heavy weight, alcohol is certainly there. Warm.
O - a great beer but not an outstanding one. The first few sips are a wonder, but a somewhat heavy roast element takes over from there. Notwithstanding that slight negative this is Seriously Good Beer from DownUnder, and the best attempt at at BA beer from this part of the world.

For me, one cannot do better than this brew. Thick and amazing, with a kick like a Roo socking you in the jaw. I am not kidding... though I have never been socked by a Roo. Goes down a bit too fast ... hits you quite hard on an empty stomach if you do so, and I am not a drinking light weight. Sort of like the ground moves a wee bit. Wonderful complex almost nutty taste, which I found very unique. Have dated a few girls from down under, and would put this little number in their class, the type of girl who can rescue you from a fight and also drag you out of the bar to safety... thicker than the motor oil in my bike. Currently my all time favorite brew, and would have wanted to be weaned on it.

- ExcellentjeevDined on 8/31/2014Great Food, Great Night... perfect for our 1 yr anniversary! Sushi was as Fresh as could be, and Steak was cooked to perfection.Special Features:
- Excellent Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/31/2014We enjoyed a lovely evening on the patio. Surprisingly it wasn't noisy and even seemed a bit intimate while being 'out' on the street so to speak... it was quiet enough that we could enjoy a quiet conversation over our meal. The service was 'spot on' and the food was wonderfully prepared and delicious. The husband loved his oysters to start, and said they were the best he'd had in a long time because they were so fresh. My sablefish melted in my mouth... light yet savory. The husband ordered the halibut special which was meatier than my sablefish yet light and flaky. Everything was fantastic!Special Features:
- PhenomenalOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/30/2014We celebrated my husband's 50th here. It was terrific. The was amazingly fresh and of the highest quality. Service was attentive and non-intrusive - just what you expect of a high-end place. The toro sashimi was possibly the best we've ever had. The sablefish was subtle and nourishing. We came away very happy (and not over stuffed.)Special Features:

- Wow!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/30/2014Booked the Blue Water Cafe by chance for a group of 15 ppl. Had the private dining room which was very intimate and surrounded by the wine cellar. But the food was the best part, starting with the freshest oysters to the seafood tower appetizer. The main courses were all carefully prepared and wonderfully flavoured. We even had a special request for a gluten-free birthday cake that the pastry chef prepared for us that was outstanding. Our special event was made even more wonderful with great food and wine. Thank you Blue Water Cafe; you did a great job.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cant wait to go backDonBDined on 8/29/2014Blue water cafe has a great location and fabulous food. The service was very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Great drink selection that has an almost endless wine list.Special Features:
- Good but not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/29/2014Blue Water was recommended not only by ratings on Trip Adviser but also by the hotel concierge as the top seafood restaurant in Vancouver. I have to say it was just OK. I was underwhelmed by the selection and the preparation of the food. I have had better lobster in Chicago. Very dissapointing.
- Very disappointingRoseDined on 8/28/2014A early dinner of 16 oysters, small soup and 8oz steak took 2 hours. Most of which we sat with no food on the table waiting and waiting. Our waiter forgot to put in an item, wine was dropped off without any information, the steak was so overlooked it was rubbery, then our check had items we didn't order on it. We barely made our event at 7:30.
- BennieDined on 8/28/2014Very fine food, wonderfully presented and super service. Our server sold us on the very fresh halibut which was a great choice. Will be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A very pleasant mealDanCDined on 8/19/2014We had dinner here on our last night in town. Reservations are a must as it is very busy. It is clearly a popular and well-run restaurant. The staff were polite, polished and professional. The décor was pleasing and the atmosphere was pleasant. The food was very good on the whole. The wine list is so extensive as to be a little too much of a good thing. All in all we had a very pleasant experience and we will certainly remember the outing for quite some time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous evening!Wonderful25Dined on 8/19/2014We chose the Blue Water Cafe for our 25th wedding anniversary and we loved it! We felt the service was attentive and friendly and the food was delicious! We loved the sablefish and crab salad in particular and sitting at the bar before dinner was wonderful! It was a warm summer evening and we chose to wait for an outside table, and we loved it! For a little bit more money than we usually spend on dinner, we felt we got a lot more in regards to the quality of the food and the impeccable service. We shall return!Special Features:
- Really good!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/19/2014Went here with my wife when my boss was in town - great place - great food, services, drinks, etc!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Romantic Dinning PlacelollolVIPDined on 8/18/2014Food was really good. For food, we definitely love to go back. However, service was slow. For the first hour, we're only served oysters.

- First AnniversaryBluH2oDined on 8/17/2014My wife and I came for our first wedding anniversary and had a great time. It was fairly slow inside at the time. We were sat at a table for two in between two others table of two. There was a bit of an awkward moment between the 3 tables as the conversations came to a stop when we sat. I do wish we could have sat somewhere else but I could have been more specific about our special occasion. The food was great, the drinks a tad small. I know how the industry works, but I feel like the price for drinks for the size is a bit high. People pay top dollar to dine here, make them feel like they get good value as well. Our bill came to $170 with tip. The value could be in question. Maybe a happy hour? Pull people in with the cheap drinksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great seafoodsunnydeeDined on 8/17/2014have dined here several times over the past 7 years. The food has always been great although the portions are becoming smaller and smaller each time. 3 scallops as an entree just doesn't seem like enough for the price of around 35$Special Features:

Location is convenient in Yaletown and its a short cab ride from the hotels along Burrard and West Georgia.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Date night!SnackpantsDined on 8/8/2014Great place. The servers are very friendly and helpful. They are able to make great recommendations for seafood.

- We saved the best for lastOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/7/2014During our stay in Vancouver, we hit some new restaurants and some tried and true favorites. Blue Water Cafe was over the top phenomenal. The wine list was excellent, the sashimi was superb, but the oysters, the oysters. I have never had them prepared so well and so freshly presented. There was not one single tug at the shell and no oyster shell bits to sift through. Gorgeous. Can't wait to return. I had the arctic char for the first time and it was sensational. The addition of arctic char roe to the pearlized barley was perfect. The chef was even so accommodating as to give us the same dessert that couple next to us had specifically ordered. It was a one-off sweet, but they were kind enough to make it for us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A winning Dining ExperienceDonnaVIPDined on 8/6/2014An all around winning restaurant. We had an excellent waitress, the decor and vibe were great. Food was superb! Had a very tasty panzanella salad with heirloom tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella. A silky Arctic char with barley. Very good, beautifully prepared. My only criticism is more of a range in wine selection. Anything old world was ludicrously expensive. Offer a choice. Not everyone wants to pay 100 plus for wine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hostess needs to be more organizedAnnieDined on 8/6/2014We came here for a date night; after arriving on time for our Wednesday 7:30 pm res, it took a while for us to be greeted and even some more time for the host staff to find my reservation information. We were informed the previous table was settling their bill as the hostess left us to attend to other matters. After about 10 minutes I had to find the hostess just to see if we can get a seat at the bar, and her response was that she'll check on it and let us know. Another 10 minutes later, no one has returned to let us know what's going on, despite 1 other group and 2 other couples being seated who arrived after us. The meal itself and our waiter were fantastic, but I did not appreciate the disorganization and extra wait before the mealSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over pricedAlexVIPDined on 8/4/2014The service of our server was great, however, the seafood which we had was not as fresh as expected. We went to Diana's Seafood and Steakhouse in Toronto, the service was terrible, however, the freshness of the seafood was way better. I won't recall for the price since the quality of food was way lower than we expected.....Special Features:

CATEGORIES MoviesYou didn't think Marvel was going to let you off the hook that easily, did you? Nope, the comic book company is already planning Phase Three of its sprawling media empire. Sounds sinister, doesn't it? It's not! We promise.
Phase One began with "Iron Man" and culminated in "The Avengers." Similarly, Phase Two just kicked off with the release of "Iron Man 3" and will end after a total of five movies with 2015's "The Avengers 2." Even though Marvel is still knee-deep in Phase Two, studio prez Kevin Feige gave EW a very early preview of what's coming down the pipeline.
Feige said, "I'd say 99 percent of our time right now is purely spent on Phase Two... It's five colossally giant motion pictures that we have to produce. So that's taking up the time. But within the next year or so we'll start the advanced planning for post-'Avengers 2.'"
The Marvel honcho was fairly forthcoming for details on movies that are still in their nascent stages. We do know that Edgar Wright's "Ant-Man" is a sure thing, and "Doctor Strange" is "one of the prime candidates." We all know that "Iron Man 4" would go over like gangbusters, but also that Robert Downey Jr. is still in talks over his part in the future of Tony Stark. "Black Panther" is still just a hope and a dream, though eagle-eyed writers have noted that Marvel might be filming some of "The Avengers 2" in Cape Town, a hint that, followed to conclusion, leads some to believe that BP could be a new recruit. The rest of the Marvel cast of characters -- Daredevil, Ghost Rider, zombies, and so on -- are either very unlikely or still in the wishful thinking stages.
But what about The Hulk, you say? Feige told EW, "Mark [Ruffalo] could stand in his own movie. ... We're talking about it. We're excited to sit down and go, 'What is a stand-alone Hulk movie?'"
We've got a few years to find out.

Second date against the U's gets postponed for Braintree
12:29pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in Sport By Simon Spurgeon
Wet weather has beaten Braintree Town's pitch once again as a waterlogged playing surface at the Amlin Stadium has postponed a Skrill Premier game against Cambridge United for the second time in seven days.
The initial game between the Iron and the U's was called-off on New Year's Day due to a soggy pitch and rain over the last 24 hours has now accounted for the rescheduled fixture as well.
It had been due to be played tonight, but a referee inspected the Amlin Stadium pitch at noon and advised that it would not be fit for play.
A club statement said: "Despite the second postponement of this fixture, the club would like to thank the staff and volunteers who worked hard to clear the surface water, often during heavy rain!
"Both clubs have discussed the possibility of re-scheduling the fixture next Tuesday (January 14)."
This newly suggested date will be subject to confirmation from the league and will also depend on the outcome of Cambridge United's FA Trophy fixture on Saturday.
Braintree's next game will now be their Skrill Premier trip to Woking on Saturday.

Getting a target away from medications is not easy. Therefore, you have to get the victim to go an excellent and trustworthy substance rehab retreats and centers. A lot as being the medicine addicts or members of the family want them get off the habit, Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers the individual can't aid it. This is why assistance from experts which can be only accessible at rehab centres is required. You need to realize that the addict can't practice it al by itself. Neither of the two are you able to members of the family. Try out as much as you can, other and you loved ones don't get the requisite education to assist an addict leave medications or alcoholism.
Much as you or your loved one wants to attend a drug rehab retreats and centers it's highly advisable that you look for the right one, however. Obtaining the best one is not going to can come straightforward by any means. Before settling for any of the hundreds of drug rehab centers out there, you need to be patient. And it's been found out that a lot of people that wants to leave habit tend to be in haste. They swiftly check into any available substance rehab locations near them. But they in the near future learn that the centre will not be properly equipped to help them out.
At reliable and good medication rehab retreats and centers, the substance addict will be medically and psychologically assisted to obtain off of drugs. Medically, the individual will be presented drugs that will assist the body get back its regular status or actions. Your body of an addict continues to be comfortable with using drugs or liquor and the entire body is both fragile or destroyed during this process. Consequently, Drug Rehab Centers changing the body's program won't be easy. A properly trained well being specialist can help the victim's system modify by taking good and the body enhancing drugs. , the addicts need to find out concerning the bad effects of substance neglect.Also and psychologically Consequently, he or she will be counseled concerning how to remain away drugs. The individual will likely be prepared mentally to forestall any relapse on the old way of living.
Not all drug rehab centers and retreats can be very expensive. It is possible to still get low-cost types. However, you must not give up good quality services for low priced. Your overall health and therefore of your loved ones concerns most in cases like this, not the funds. If you're individual (can't manage to anxiety this enough) you'll get reliable and good centres that won't need you breaking up in a financial institution just before purchasing their professional services. For example, Best Alcohol Rehab Centers its really possible to get low-earnings centres. These centers, as the name implies are not in the business of helping drug addict in order to make huge profit. Somewhat, they're mainly subsidized by foundations, govt and spiritual companies. Look at any reputable a single amid these types and also you won't feel sorry about acquiring aid there.

13Hey, Your Breakfast Called, It'd Like Another Word With You
So guys, I've got a little story to tell you. See, yesterday morning I traveled to my home state of Pennsylvania for my obligatory every-three-year visit, and so, so much happened. Namely the fact that I spent almost entire seven hours in my vehicle carsick, at least until I crossed into the Pocono mountains, where I'm staying (more on that later), because I'm just not used to driving around in these mountains anymore. Seriously, these big old dips and bends and gullies—they were almost enough to make me pull over, and easily enough to give me the case of the belches and hiccups in an effort to keep the minimal food I'd eaten throughout the course of the day *because* of the carsickness, and that's … well, that's pretty gross.
That's also kind of what happens when I look at this photo of Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison, because I literally haven't been in my car for at least fourteen hours now—I'm safely tucked away in a friend's country club vacation home, which, no joke, is f-cking haunted. I don't know why they didn't, you know, mention that to begin with, but I spent a good portion of last night wondering why wire hangers were rattling in closets and falling to the ground, or why the sink would turn on ever-so-slightly … so needless to say, I didn't sleep very well last night. Which didn't bode all that well with the sensitive condition of yesterday's stomach, which, when exposed to Courtney Stodden's comical boobs, Doug Hutchison's mushroom pallor, and the kiss-mark of stanky red lipstick on Doug's face, seriously. almost. made me lose it. altogether.
If I don't run screaming from this vacation now, well. I'm a much, much stronger person than I've ever given myself credit for, and that's a fact.

I'm starting to get a real bad feeling about Doug. If that girl has sex with anyone other than him there are going to be huge problems. He's going to go Toooms-variety stalker on her and her family.
I said it again, and I'm gonna say it now: can we get some money all together to buy girlfriend a new bra?
I think the problem could be multiple bras. I don't think much of what is covered by that dress is actually boob.
And while we're at it how about a new pair of shoes too!! Those lucite stripper shoes are all she ever wears!!
Doug looks like he had some work. At least an eyebrow lift. Cheap work. Not surprising. He definitely likes cheap.
Not even the best surgeon can fix the mess that is his creepy soul.
He does look different. Ew. Always Ew. :)
My apologies for being insensitive, Sarah, but I LOVE haunted houses!! More deets!! :O
And I hope you feel better! :D
Did he need to prove that she actually kisses him?
Poconos.. Small world! Nice to see a local hit the big time ;)
I just thought Doug's cheek implant was sagging.

Shower Tree Park & Ka'ula Lagoon
Imagine stunning red hibiscus, ixora, blue marble
trees, firecracker flowers, and shaggy barked fiddlewood trees with their fragrant,
miniscule flowers and orange berries. These, and the billowing bouquets hanging from
multi-colored shower trees, are but a few of the botanical delights that adorn this setting,
straight out of a romantic storybook fantasy.
The freeform lagoon, lined here and there with blue pickerel rush and
red-stemmed sagittaria, is home to iridescent koi, multicolored water lilies and native Hawaiian gallinules.
A cascading waterfall plunges into the lagoon, and graceful
footbridges lead to a lovely palm tree shaded island.
A winding path ascends alongside
the waterfall to an intimate Japanese tea house.
"Flight of the Tropic Birds", a dramatic fountain
sculpture rising from the center of the lagoon, is among several nearby works of art.

Now the improv genius brings his talents to far more family-friendly fare, the guinea pig-superspy caper 'G-Force.' We caught up with the busy funnyman and dished about acting with green screen, old folks ... and Brad Pitt? -- By Angie Argabrite
Which one of the guinea pigs was the biggest diva?
I never thought in my life I'd get a question like this [laughs]. Fortunately, I didn't really have to deal with the guinea pigs one-on-one, I was acting towards nothing. In that case, I was the biggest diva, just because of the process of elimination.
How was acting with green screen?
The acting towards nothing is pretty intimidating, but you get used to it. There's really no practicing you can do -- and you're talking to guinea pigs! So there're a couple of variables there that you have to keep in mind while you're saying the lines.
You talk to a fly, too.
Mooch [the fly] doesn't really talk back, so it makes it a little bit easier. He just kind of buzzes back, and somehow I understand what he's saying. The fly thing was difficult because he's flying around, and also, there's a scene in there where, I hope people get the joke, I say, "I don't like it when my fly is down." After I said that the director goes, "Cut. Why are you talking about your zipper down?" I'm like "Oh God, he didn't get the joke." [laughs]
Are you going to get your own 'G-Force' action figure?
When we were shooting the movie, the Disney people came to take pictures of me and to measure me. I guess if it's a hit, they'll make an action figure or a doll thing. My biggest fear is that they're going to make a ride out of it at Disney World, and it's going to be a cutout of me and it's going to say "If you're this tall, you can't ride." That's my biggest fear.
Watch exclusive 'G-Force' clips | Get showtimes & tickets
While you were filming 'The Hangover,' did you have any inkling that it was going to be so huge?
Well, we knew it was going to be good. We didn't really expect anything more than just a good, entertaining, funny movie. I don't think anybody expected it to be what it is now.
In the end credits, you get it on with a senior citizen. Do older women hit on you now?
You're talking about 'G-Force,' right? [Laughs] I hope no women of that age have seen that movie ['The Hangover']. But that woman, when we were shooting that, I was so embarrassed for her and for me. But it turns out, I said, "Ma'am, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, you just tell me what to do here." It turns out she was an old porno actress ... and she's the voice of Juarez! [laughs]
In the end credits, is that you or is that a stunt penis?
That's fake.
In your upcoming Todd Phillips film, 'Due Date,' you play a guy traveling with an expectant dad to get to the birth of his baby. Do you know who's going to be playing the expectant dad?
No, but they're talking pretty big names -- Will Smith, Brad Pitt. I'm not kidding, it's like "the world's biggest people ... and Zach Galafianakis" [laughs]. And then there's actually Robert Downey Jr. also, I think. But who knows what any of that means. Hollywood is a lot of tall tales.
What's going on with the 'Hangover' sequel?
I haven't seen a script, and I don't want to jump the gun on anything like that. Bradley Cooper's a big hunk now, so he's going to be busy; he won't want to do 'The Hangover 2.' I would love to work with those guys again, I think we all want to do it, but it's just a wait-and-see type of thing.
You did a Comedy Central show, 'Dog Bites Man.' One of your co-stars in that, Matt Walsh, plays the doctor in 'The Hangover' -- did you get him the part?
No. Matt has been in all of Todd's movies; they're old buddies, and that's how that happened. But Matt and I, during 'Dog Bites Man,' I had some of the biggest laughs of my life when we filmed, because Matt was in it. But when we filmed the scene in 'The Hangover,' it was the hardest I've ever laughed in my life. It's not that funny, that scene in the movie where he takes the old man's pants down -- but I was laughing so hard at this old man's body because I know we're all destined for this, and it's such a cruel joke. I had to get up and leave the set; I didn't want to be laughing in front of this old man. Matt barely laughed, he's really good and professional, but when he breaks it makes me laugh so hard.
How much of your dialogue in 'The Hangover' was improvised?
A lot. Many, many lines. The structure of the script, the outline was very strong, and all the set pieces. But as far as the dialogue and things that had happened and the undercurrent stories like me emulating Phil or me having a crush on Bradley Cooper's character, none of that was in the script.
You're so in demand now. Are you in talks for 'Man-Witch'?
I don't know much about that, I'm not being coy ... it was a thing that Todd Phillips and I kind of talked about doing, but he wants to do 'Due Date' instead, so that's kind of taking priority. I think that's the answer to give you.
What about 'Say Uncle'?
That's something that may come to fruition.
And there's the HBO show you have coming out, 'Bored to Death.' Tell us about that.
It's a very well-written show with Jason Schwartzman as the lead, and then Ted Danson's in it. And then, I'm like third fiddle. It's kind of a detective story; I've seen some of it, and it's really very good.
Would you shave your beard for a part?
Yes. Of course. But I look like a fat Jodie Foster when I do that.

Vital record
Vital records are records of life events kept under governmental authority, including birth certificates, marriage licenses, and death certificates. In some jurisdictions, vital records may also include records of civil unions or domestic partnerships.
In the United States, vital records are typically maintained at the state level.[1] In the United Kingdom and numerous other countries vital records are recorded in the civil registry.
Various European countries are members of an International Commission on Civil Status which provides a mutually recognized convention on the coding of entries appearing in civil status documents, with common codes and translation tables between the language of the member states. They also provide an English unofficial translation.
In the fields of Records Management and Archival Science the term vital record is used[2] to mean "records, regardless of medium, which are essential to the organization in order to continue with its business-crucial functions both during and after a disaster. They need not be permanent, might be active or inactive, originals or copies."[3]
Note that only the life events meaning is restricted to government; the records management meaning in this article applies to both government and non-government organizations.
In low-income countries, such as Brazil, vital statistic systems have shown a 56% underreporting of infant mortality rates. The results of an ethnographic study conducted by researcher Marilyn K. Nations and Mara Lucia Amaral point to a lack of cultural understanding as the main cause of inaccurate data. Firstly, government authorities are often isolated from these experiences of death. Moreover, reporting deaths often jeopardizes the family's future subsistence as they rely heavily on government benefits received for each child. Low income families also cannot afford to pay the fees associated with reporting deaths and other indirect costs such as loss of time having to go to the city to register the death. As a result, the data recorded in vital records are often skewed. To overcome this problem, methods of gathering mortality data need to have an awareness of cultural meanings and knowledge of local beliefs.[4]
See also[edit]
The governmental authority has a commercial monopoly to sell; photocopies, transcripts or facsimiles of the original vital record while the original vital record itself is maintained in their safe keeping. They have the authority and duty to sell as many copies of one or more records as may be requested. Additional copies of the same vital record are often sold for less than the 'first' copy. The original of all vital records are always kept by the governmental authority and never available to the public. Copies, extracts or transcriptions of these vital records are sold by the governmental authority to the general public. They sell two versions; certified and non-certified. Certified copies are usually priced about 0-20% higher than non-certified copies. Many governmental authorities use a 3rd party vendor (with an added fee) to process the orders for vital record copies with prices ranging from US $20-$90. For example: https://www.vitalchek.com/ Where governmental authority vital records are not available, the use of church, cemetery, census and newspaper records is allowed.

Steve Gleason Responds To Atlanta Radio Segment That Mocked Him
Steve Gleason made national headlines yesterday for two reasons. One, he wrote a 4,500 word column for Sports Illustrated, detailing his battle with ALS. And two, because three Atlanta radio hosts made a segment belittling and mocking Gleason, as well as his incurable disease. The latter moved the needle more than the former, but Gleason has responded to the incident, in the only way you'd expect him to...with class.

INDIANAPOLIS — Starters will see their most playing time of the preseason tonight as the Indianapolis Colts get their last big test before the regular season begins Sept. 8.
Here are five things to watch when the third preseason game kicks off at 7 p.m. against the Cleveland Browns at Lucas Oil Stadium:
1. LaRon Landry: The new strong safety's debut was delayed two weeks by a knee injury. He plays a physical game that could come in handy on the kinds of early cutback runs that have hurt the Colts in each of the first two preseason games. Indianapolis believes it can have one of the best defensive secondaries in the league — with cornerbacks Vontae Davis and Greg Toler joining Pro Bowl safeties Antoine Bethea and Landry — and tonight will be its first chance to prove it. Fans should get a good, long look with the starters expected to play into the early third quarter.
2. Pat Angerer: The inside linebacker lost his starting job last season to Jerrell Freeman after injuring his foot in the preseason opener. He played through pain for 11 regular-season games and the playoff loss at Baltimore then spent most of the offseason rehabbing the foot. Cleared to practice last week, Angerer upped his participation this week and will make his 2013 debut tonight. His snaps will be limited, but it will be interesting to see how he fits into the mix with fellow inside 'backers Freeman and Kavell Conner.
3. Hugh Thornton: The physical rookie out of Illinois missed all of the Anderson University portion of training camp with a foot injury. With starting right guard Mike McGlynn out tonight, Thornton is expected to see some time with the first team before halftime. There's no doubt the injury cost him valuable opportunities during camp, but with a good performance against the Browns he could crack open a door for himself again.

I am Batman....sort of
3:32pm Sunday 19th April 2009 in Kisima News By Tristan Kirk
In pursuit of more training, I have taken to keeping my bike in my little car and taking it out for a ride whenever possible.
The other day, I was a bit lost in Harrow and found myself down a dead end near the Kodak site.
In a flash, I realised this was the perfect chance for a quick cycle ride, got the Ammaco out of the back and away I went.
If you are familiar with the film The Dark Knight, there is a sequence where Batman drives his car for a bit then crashes it.
To continue to sequence, a Bat Bike fires out of the car with our caped hero on board.
In a way, a rather more mundane way and less dramtic way, I am Batman. Well, sort of.
I certainly felt a bit like a super hero, as I rode through the streets of Wealdstone, with my coat flapping behind me in the wind, looking for some crime to fight.
There wasn't any.
Just a quick reminder to sponsor me by going to www.justgiving.co.uk/tristankirk.

A killing, then threats and a coverup.
Thats what three former inmates at Dade Correctional Institution independently claim happened on and after June 23, 2012, when Darren Rainey, a 50-year-old, mentally-ill prisoner, was allegedly locked in a shower by corrections officers as punishment. He was left there for as long as two hours, purportedly howling for mercy as scalding water blasted his body.
When he was found by guards, face-up, in the closet-size shower chamber, Raineys skin had separated from his body and he was dead.
A written record of the 911 call that night, released by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue on Tuesday, shows there was a 22-minute gap between the time corrections officers said they found Raineys body and the time fire rescue was summoned.
One inmate, who wrote the Department of Corrections a letter after his transfer from DCI, said he was ordered to clean up the crime scene during that time interval.
The inmate, a convicted murderer named Mark Joiner, asked to be interviewed by the department as part of any investigation.
Upon interview, I will explain why his death was murder and how it can be proven beyond a doubt, Joiner wrote.
Whatever else the 46-year-old Joiner had to say remains unknown. Eighteen months later, he has still not been questioned by the prison system, a spokesperson acknowledged.
Neither the corrections department nor Miami-Dade police will say whether they plan to interview Joiner in the future.
Another witness who has apparently not been questioned is the nurse who was on duty that night and examined Raineys body post-mortem. She told the Miami Herald that the corpse was so hot that it exceeded the range on her thermometer.
The nurse, who declined to be identified because she fears retaliation, said it was clear from the condition of Raineys body that he had been left unattended in the shower for a long time.
A second inmate, a burglar named Harold Hempstead, filed several greivances with the department in early 2013, asserting that Rainey was deliberately tortured for defecating in his cell and refusing to clean it up. Hempstead, 38, said Rainey pleaded to be let out of the shower whose temperature controls were located on the outside of the unit as he was scalded.
Hempstead contacted the Herald through an intermediary after his multiple grievances were returned by the department with no action taken.
After he discussed Raineys death in a prison interview with a Herald journalist, Hempstead said the same corrections officers involved in the shower incident threatened him if he continued stirring up trouble. Hempstead has since been transferred to another prison, Suwanee Correctional, away from the Dade Correctional guards, who remain on duty.
In addition to the witnesses who were not interviewed, key evidence, such as audio of the 911 call from the prison that night, was not preserved, indicating that the death was never treated as a homicide.
Bruce Hyma, Miami-Dades medical examiner, has not released an autopsy detailing Raineys cause of death. Raineys brother said no one from the medical examiners office has ever contacted him about the death or medical history of his brother, who was serving two years for cocaine possession.
I remember it was Fathers Day weekend, two years ago, Andre Chapman, who lives in Tampa, said in an interview. All they said is they found him collapsed in the shower. They said they had to do an autopsy, but nobody got back to me about it. Its like thats how they were going to leave it.
Despite repeated attempts by the Herald to reach Joiner, he has not responded to written requests for interviews. One letter sent by the newspaper was intercepted by prison officials and returned because, the prisons return form said, the letter named another inmate (Rainey) and that naming another inmate posed a threat to the prisons and the inmates security.
The Herald has written several other inmates, identified by Hempstead either as witnesses to Raineys torment or as prisoners who were previously locked in the shower as punishment.
At least one other inmate complained to the Department of Corrections about Raineys treatment. The Department of Corrections wont reveal his name, but he filed a grievance a day after the death, claiming that guards slapped and punched Rainey as they escorted him to the shower. A month later, that inmate was interviewed by the department.
The Miami Herald requested a transcript of the interview. Indicating that it had not been done previously, the department charged the Herald to have a company produce a 23-page transcription. In it, virtually every answer is redacted blotted out with a marker.
In one of the few unredacted passages, the inmate says he had been threatened with the same treatment Rainey got if he persisted in making waves.
At the end of the interview, the inmate is warned by the questioner, also unidentified, against repeating anything he had said because it is a violation for you to do so.
The Herald submitted a public records request in May for all correspondences received from Hempstead about Raineys death. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Jessica Cary responded that DOC had nothing fitting that description.
A Herald journalist then told Cary that there were several documents from the inmate detailing Raineys death. Hempstead provided them as well as the departments responses when the journalist paid a visit to the prison.
Cary then explained that the documents could not be produced because the Herald asked for correspondences and Hempsteads documents were grievances.
To date, the Herald has submitted public records requests for information about Raineys death to more than a half-dozen government agencies, including Miami-Dade police, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, the Miami-Dade medical examiner and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Last month after the Herald interviewed Hempstead and made numerous phone inquiries Miami-Dade police detectives visited him in prison, according to the inmates family, which has had limited communication with him since his transfer.
The Department of Corrections said that it long ago suspended its administrative review until the police investigation into the matter was concluded. Hyma, the medical examiner, said he was waiting for police to complete their probe so he could interpret his findings.
To date, no one in the Department of Corrections has been held accountable for what occurred that night.
To some experts, the slow pace of the investigation and the failure to preserve evidence is troubling.
There is no reason not to save that 911 call period. End of story, said John Marraccini, former chief medical examiner in Palm Beach County and an independent forensic pathologist.
Marraccini said its inexplicable why it has taken so long for the medical examiner to tell Raineys family how he died.
Theres no law that says the medical examiner cant release the autopsy. Its just a question of whether the medical examiner wants to have an image of transparency or not, he said.
Howard Finkelstein, Broward Countys elected public defender, called Raineys treatment sadistic torture.
What it shows is just how sick some guards are and how often they can get away with it as long as the people they torture are poor, homeless or minorities, he said.
David Fathi, director of the American Civil Liberties Union National Prison Project, said prisons have long been closed institutions that have been hidden from public scrutiny.
This case shows in stark terms why we need independent, outside oversight of prisons, Fathi said.
It is certainly shocking that two years after a mysterious and troubling death, no one has done an investigation.

Stroke psychology service launches at Orford hub
2:00pm Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
A NEW stroke psychology service has been launched in the town to help people struggling with emotional problems and depression after a stroke.
Run by Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Trust in association with Warrington Clinical Commissioning Group, staff from the new service will be based at Orford Jubilee Neighbourhood Hub but will work in health centres and homes across the borough.
Dr Carol Sampson, from Bridgewater said: "It is estimated that 14,600 in the north west suffer a stroke each year and currently over 157,000 people are living with the effects of a stroke.
"The new service will give people in the borough access to the essential psychological care and advice they need after a stroke which can prevent further issues developing and ultimately improve their quality of life."
Speak to your GP or the Stroke Association to be referred to the service or visit bridgewater.nhs.uk to find out more.

- Comments and insights on the name Amos: | Edit
This name to me seems due for a comeback: it's short and simple with clear vowels, hefty but not macho-sounding, indisputably male, and offers an alternative to the -n ending of so many contemporary favorites for boys.
Because of the song "Amos Moses," it sounds like someone who is independent, determined, legendary, and mysterious. I am not religious, but because of the bible connection it sounds like someone who is caring and a leader, not the Amos in the the song.

Flood warnings for the Richmond area
10:22am Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Clare Buchanan
Over the weekend the Environment Agency issued further flood warnings for the borough for areas including Hampton, Hampton Court, Hampton Wick and Teddington.
The agency said properties on the Barge Walk, Hampton Court Palace Golf Club and Hampton Court Road were expected to flood and water levels could reach higher than those seen in January 2003.
Properties closest to the River Thames between Raven's Ait and Teddington Weir and between Platts Eyot to Hampton Court Bridge were also under threat.
People who live in an area at risk of flooding are advised to take action to protect themselves and their properties.
Simon Hughes, Regional Manager, at the Environment Agency, said: "We encourage everyone at risk of flooding to listen to and co-operate with the emergency services, particularly those in the areas where severe flood warnings have been issued.
"Our teams are out in force checking that flood defences and barriers are in good working order and our Flood Ambassadors are on the ground helping people and communities."
Call Floodline on 0845 988 1188 using quickdial 173122 for up-to-date flooding information.

Over the following days you have reverted to quoting the old 0845 number.
Continue to call the 0845 number only if you are on "BT Weekend" or "BT Evening and Weekend" (or a landline provider that copies those BT prices) and you are making a call during a weekday and you therefore have to pay for it, or you are on "Vodafone pay as you go".
Almost everyone else should call the brand new 0345 number and this applies whether using a landline or a mobile.
All callers with an inclusive call plan on their landline or mobile will find that calls to the 0345 numbers are inclusive within their calls allowance.
Mobile users on pay as you go pay less for 0345 calls than for 0845 calls (except Vodafone charges 0845 calls at a discounted rate).

LAS VEGAS -- There have been 79 deadly crashes in Metro's jurisdiction with many of them being alcohol-related. Metro Police are cracking down as there are more than 4,600 DUI related arrests so far this year.
District Attorney Steve Wolfson is stepping in with a unique and serious way to stop people from making the same choice in getting behind the wheel drunk.
Penalties for any DUI include fines, possible jail, prison time, revoked drivers license, and now the Coroners DUI Program.
Beginning in November, Wolfson said more DUI offenders will be court-mandated to take this three-hour course where they hear gruesome stories of DUI victims.
Edgar Guerrero was ordered to the program by a judge because of a DUI, his blood alcohol was twice the legal limit.
"They were all very interesting because they were all different situations," Guerrero said. "I'm kind of anxious to see bodies."
DUI offenders are preparing to face to lifeless victims of deadly DUI's. Attendance has been increasing with 1,100 so far this year.
In Metro's jurisdiction there have been 17 DUI-related deaths this year as of October 9.
The numbers are down from the previous two years, when the statistics were more than double at this time. DUI arrests are also down by more than a thousand.
"I consider alcohol the worst drug there is and I don't even know why it's legal, tell you the truth," Guerrero said. "The effects that it gives you outweigh the pleasure."
The coroner's office also has a similar scared-straight program for teens that is optional.
The program will show how violent behaviors can lead to death.
