Another Sara interview.

do you ever stretch and just MAKE THE LOUDEST SEXUAL NOISE EVER

No… never… haha <3
Anonymous said: Is Sara Bareilles gay or just pro gay rights? I've never really heard any pronouns (he, she) in her songs?
I believe she is simply a supporter of the LGBT community, but I don't really know if she cares to share her sexuality with the public. As far as I know she's straight, still, it could be otherwise.
Dear Friend:
Please, let me hold you with words. Let me wipe your tears with letters. Wash away your problems with ideas. What a distress it is to have you so far away from me and not being able to hold you when you need it most; let me be near you and help you even though I'm so far away. Close your eyes and imagine me there, listening closely, holding your hand, and feeling your pain as mine. My dear friend, I feel your tears falling over my shoulders, let the rain come down upon us both and let it wash away your hurt and let your energy be born anew. I want nothing but to hold you close and live through this with you, I feel helpless here, incapable of soothing your pain with nothing but sound. I can only hope that words can help mend your broken heart and that time takes with it all the tears that you shed.
Life changes in unexpected ways and beats us to the ground, but our strength is counted not of how many hits we take but how many times we kept moving forward. And you will move forward, even if I have to push you through. I will carry you on my back if I have to, but I'll be there. I'll be there to walk with you and to let you understand in privacy; I'll be there to hold your hand and away when you need to feel the space around you. I wish nothing but happiness for you and it tears my heart to hear you so brokenhearted. I can only imagine why would someone deliberately hurt someone who he once loved so much, why do people become strangers once we choose to walk away I do not know why, maybe it is because we never really knew them entirely, maybe it is because resentment can make you do things you never thought you were capable of, but the fact of the matter is, they change, and things are different, and you are different, the air around you might even feel different, maybe the sun doesn't feel as bright anymore and the wind not as soothing, but here's something that will never change: My friendship. I give you my word; I will always be there for you, no matter what. I will understand you when you think no one will and I will hear what you don't even dare to utter to others.
I hope all the happiness to you always and I do, truly, wait for your return to the country so we can talk some more. Breathe in and out and let your mind wonder into beautiful places, where waterfalls shine upon the reflection of the sun and people in cities wander under fresh air and the tall trees of the parks.
I love you very much; take care.
Truly Yours,

LIMERICK Ś With equipment spread around the township wherever it will fit and little space for workers to rest during their sometimes 24-hour shifts, Limerick will erect a public works building in an estimated $2 million project.
ōAnybody who has been through our current one knows how antiquated it is,ö said Township Manager Dan Kerr in a July 16 board of supervisors meeting. ōIn researching options, we believe the best thing to do is knock down the existing building back there and put in a new prefabricated building.ö
The building was budgeted for this year but Kerr said it would likely roll over to the 2014 budget.
According to Kerr, theyÆre looking at a 20,000 square foot building that would provide for ōfuture growthö as well as have space for all of the townshipÆs trucks, construction vehicles and equipment with an area for maintenance.
Such a space would also provide the proper accommodations for LimerickÆs 15 full-time public works employees.
Currently, Kerr said the offices for the public works department are where some of the parts for the townshipÆs trucks are stored, due to space restrictions in the building itself.
With almost 100 miles of roads to maintain during winter storms, Kerr said the townshipÆs crews work long days in which theyÆre sometimes forced to nap in their trucks in the current building.
A new building would have a bunk room as well as showering facilities, Kerr said.
Additionally, the township does a lot of its construction work in-house, saving 20 to 25 percent on typical costs, according to Kerr. As such, a new building would provide better housing for the construction vehicles and equipment, he said.
In the July 16 meeting, Kerr presented the board with three separate bids for design services for the building.
The supervisors approved the low-bid Gorski Engineering Inc. in Collegeville, for $51,000 by a 4-0 vote with supervisorÆs Chairman Joseph St. Pedro abstaining.
ōOur goal would be to put this out for bid for the spring for construction,ö Kerr said. ōOur public works crew would have to abandon their building so they will have to make provisions, obviously we want to do that after the winter season, so it will give us the whole winter to prep(are) for this and move them out.ö
He said the crews would likely use offices in the township building and the equipment would be stored elsewhere during the ōtwo to three month constructionö period.
ōWe need to invest inö the public works workers, said Supervisor Kara Shuler.
ōAbsolutely,ö Kerr said. ōThe building here, weÆve done the police station, itÆs time for these guys to enjoy a modern facility that they deserve.ö

I met David O Russell yesterday (writer/director of Flirting With Disaster, The Three Kings, I "Heart" Huckabees and The Fighter for all you non-film geeks).
While I won't go into the details of why I met with him – because I'm superstitious about causing things to nosedive and explode into a million charred and fiery pieces when I talk about them – but I will tell you that meeting him affirmed for me my fanatic, hyperbolic love for writers, actors, directors and creatives.
I had the rare treat of watching David work with the sound mixer on a scene from his upcoming movie Silver Lining Playbook. (For the record there will be Oscars aplenty for this film – I know that just from watching one scene). I was nervous meeting David as he, along with Wes Anderson, is on of my favorite writer/directors. But my self-consciousness evaporated when the theater darkened and the scene came up.
I was instantly sucked out of my head and into David's. In a scene where Bradley Cooper's character suffers a bi-polar mania episode which escalates to violence, I was struck by how David managed to balance perverse hilarity with heartbreak, how he married mundaneness so effortlessly with the absurd.
SLP reminded me of risky theater at its best. That glorious moment when the unexpected happens, adrenalizing actors and audience alike, rocketing them to a different plane of consciousness. In the span of that five/ten minute scene I chortled, sweated, cringed, clutched my throat and gaped in awe at the sheer audacity of the performances.
When I got home it was like I was hopped up on Crank. I was inspired to take more chances as a writer, make greater leaps, be willing to epically fail and embarrass myself in pursuit of that elusive, transcendent moment. Thanks for that DOR.
A quote from one of my favorite playwright/screenwriters John Patrick Shanley (Doubt), it's directed towards actors, but applies to all creatives: "Act from the depth of your feeling imagination. Act for celebration, for search, for grieving, for worship, to express that desolate sensation of wandering through the howling wilderness. Don't worry about Art. Do these things and it will be Art."
(Full Disclosure: This was NOT a sponsored post)

When's the film coming out? This is such a fine quote–desolate sensation of wandering through the howling wilderness.
Wow. It's so very nice when those unexpected moments of inspiration and connection with other artists happen. I am getting my contact high.
That was what I was thinking. Can't wait to see it.
What a day that was…! Talk about excitement! This is a memory that I am sure you will reflect on for some time.
So Flirting with Disaster and I Heart Huckabees are two of my very favorites, so I will definitely see this new film. I am also a Wes Anderson fan – I suppose my top 5 fantasy director list would include him, Cameron Crowe, the Coens, and Steven Soderbergh. Oh, and Wem Wenders.
I've heard excellent things about Silver Lining Playbook. I'm looking forward to seeing it!
I can't wait to see this movie – it looks amazing. So few movies appeal to me anymore. I love Wes Anderson too – The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my all-time favorites.
His Lily Tomlin freakout is one the greatest director meltdowns ever caught on tape. Amazing.
I want to see this movie so stinkin' badly. It looks brilliant. Absolutely, amazing.
I'll take meeting an amazing writer over meeting an amazing actor any day of the week!
I so enjoy your writing, and read with delight about your interesting behind-the-scenes experience. I share your love of 'creatives', as I am an artist myself. But, as I kept reading, I had one of those 'hair standing on the back of the neck' moments when you mentioned JP Shanley, whose work I've always respected. One of my guilty pleasures it reading Page 6 in the NY Post on a regular basis. A couple of days ago I had read this article:
There is also a more lengthy article with photos in the Daily Mail (UK). Consenting adults, OK, I'm no prude – I'm old but very liberal – but seriously?
Keep up your wonderful writing!
Good question, Darlin',
I still have the hots for Bill Clinton! Go figure!

T2 Tequila
Sku: 1477526*
The tequila in T2 comes from the Jalisco region of Mexico - the most auspicious area of Blue Agave Tequilana Weber. The Blue Agave Tequilana Weber is cultivated by hand and their progress is meticulously watched.
While many other firms buy other peoples plants for the harvest and production of tequila, the distillery for T2 grows their own Blue Agave. These plants are harvested when they are between 6 and 8 years old. The Agave juice is fermented at 34 Celsius for up to 6 days. After the fermentation the juice is double distilled in a French pot still to get the best tequila. To improve the purity even more, the tequila is filtered 3 times! First filtration is in a traditional style, the second is a carbon filtration, and the third filtration takes place at -20 Celsius! This to ensure the purest tequila possible.
Only then, is this fine spirit infused with Taurine and Caffeine.

Steve from Brooklyn, NY– Verified Buyer
A beautiful rug, but I wish it was just slightly bit softer. It had a very strong plastic smell that was a touch unpleasant when first unwrapped but since it's been opened up, the smell has mostly dissipated.

UNION PARISH, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Union Parish sheriff's deputies have made several drug and alcohol related arrests.
A traffic stop on Louisiana Hwy. 2 near the DeLoutre Bridge resulted in a Bastrop man being booked into the parish detention center on four felony drug-related charges.
Michael Dewayne Lyons, 26, was booked for possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana-second offense, possession of a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, introduction of contraband into a penal institution and speeding 76 mph in a 55 mph zone. The four drug charges are felonies.
His total bond was set at $16,000.
Sheriff Dusty Gates said the arresting deputy smelled burned marijuana coming from the car and saw a handgun in the glove box. When Lyons refused to let the deputy search the car, a K-9 unit was called to the scene.
K-9 Jack made a positive hit on the driver's side door where a white powdery substance was found that tested positive as cocaine, Gates said.
While being booked at the detention center, guards found a small bag of suspected marijuana in Lyons' genital area.
A Strong, Ark., man was arrested Feb. 28 for third offense driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest by flight, improper lane usage and driving under suspension. His bond was set at $29,500.
Billy C. King, 64, was followed by two reserve officers who observed his vehicle using both lanes of traffic on La. Hwy. 15 north of Farmerville. The reserve officers notified other deputies while continuing to follow King who had turned off on La. Hwy. 549.
The reserve deputies attempted for more than 1.5 miles to pull over the vehicle, which finally did stop. The suspect tested .173 on the Intoxilyzer 5000 when .09 is considered intoxicated.
In another DWI stop. Eugene Sims, 55, of 405 Marion St., Farmerville, was booked for second-offense DWI and for running a stop sign. His bond was set at $6,250.
The arresting deputy stated that he had to take evasive action to keep from hitting the car driven by Sims, which pulled out onto La. Hwy. 2 from Railroad Street in Farmerville.
His blood alcohol level registered .181 on the Intoxilyzer 5000.
Mickey Skains, 62, of 590 Pint Rd., Farmerville, was booked for his first offense DWI and public intimidation after a threatened to sue deputies for taking his blood. The deputies had to obtain a search warrant to draw Skains' blood.
Deputies also made an arrest Feb. 28 on a warrant that was issued for the arrest of Kenneth W. Rogers, 34, of 2515 Kavanaugh Rd., Ruston, in December 2012 charging him with contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.
Rogers is accused of helping a teenage girl run-away by picking her up at her mother's residence and leaving without gaining permission. His bond was set at $4,500.

Last time I started this type of thread, Percy Harvin ended up as the Rookie of the Year. I don't believe I made a RotY-watch thread last year (because quite frankly I didn't think the chances of us having one was good), but this year we have not one, but TWO very good candidates.
First round quarterback: Christian Ponder.
Most people's choice as best tight end coming out of college: Kyle Rudolph.
The addition of Donovan McNabb certainly makes it much harder for Ponder to get playing time, but who knows? Maybe McNabb gets injured or benched and Ponder makes a run for it towards the end of the season.
As for Rudolph, I know the chances for a TE getting the RotY are slim, but he has great pass-catching abilities and with a 10+ TD season he could make a claim for the throne.
I like the Vikings' chances, especially with Ponder starting cause him and Rudolph seems to be bonding. Wouldn't surprise me if Rudolph became Ponder's favorite target. :)
By the way, feel free to check out this video of Ponder and Rudolph:

original version of this story ran on the tenth anniversary of Sept. 11.
For Midway Hose Company No. 2 of the Matawan Borough Fire Department, the number that hit home the hardest was 343 - the number of firefighters who ran into those burning buildings and never came out.
"Right after 9/11 the company went into New York City with the truck for a memorial. Then one of the members said, 'Let's do something,'" said Cpt. Rich Michitsch.
Members of the fire company decided to create a memorial called the Wall of Honor, which has become known as "the wall." The wall contains three components, but has continued to grow with the addition of flags and pieces of the twin towers.
The center section contains the name and photograph of each firefighter who died, and includes a patch from each fire department that lost members that day. The section to the right contains the photos, names and patches for the law enforcement officers other emergency responders who died - the 23 New York Police Department officers, 37 Port Authority officers, 15 emergency medical technicians, 3 court officers, 2 FBI agents, one secret service agent and one K-9 unit. The third section, which was not designed by Midway, contains a flag filled with the names of every single person who died in the terrorist attack.
Michitsch estimates that the wall was completed in about one year and took about 480 hours.
"It's a photo, everything was done in Adobe Photoshop," Michitsch said. "It was about a year's effort to complete all three walls. And by hand and foot we collected all of the patches."
Michitsch emphasized that it was a group project involving the majority of the firefighters in the company at that time. Additionally, he said he is grateful to BNL Enterprises Inc., EL-CO Color Labs and Roma Custom Cabinets, Inc. for helping the department create the wooden frames the wall and the large easels needed for public display.
Each year, a new flag that has made the trip to the World Trade Center is hung on Midway's truck. It remains on the truck for an entire year until the anniversary of Sept. 11, when it is folded and added to the memorial.
And although Midway was not looking for recognition, their efforts did not go unnoticed.
Midway has had the opportunity to set up their wall three times in New York City. Michitsch recalls one time when they set it up outside of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
"We set it up and walked across the street. Family members had the chance to see it, and many pinned prayer cards and placed flowers on it," Michitsch said.
In 2010, Midway Firefighter Justin Sampson applied to Port Authority for a piece of the World Trade Center to add to the Wall of Honor. Later that summer, Midway received full legal ownership over a piece of steel.
Matawan Borough Fire Department Fire Safety Official Raymond Bassford, a retired Jersey City firefighter, also donated a bolt from the towers to Midway. According to Michitsch, a piece of marble floor was also donated to the company from a Jersey City fire company.
Sampson, and his father, Dennis, purchased and assembled a display case for the steel, bolt and piece of marble and officially donated the case and its contents to Midway Hose Company No. 2.
The Wall of Honor will be set up again this year on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013 at 7 p.m. at Memorial Park. Firefighters, police officers and the first aid squad will all be present for a ceremony honoring the memory of all those who died that day. The public is encouraged to attend.

"Whether you have a small company or a big company, when there's a disaster like Sandy, it's very important to have a plan on paper and review it frequently," he adds. "Now we have a plan and it's documented. We know who's going to do what things and when. We know who's supposed to come here to the building, who's supposed to take care of different things in the building. We even have a blog that is private to the company where the owner is able to post updates and status to the Web."
First and foremost, Dubus says, no matter how high-tech your business is, old school is the way to go when it comes to disaster preparedness.
"One of the very first things I would say is to create a list of contact information for IT and the whole company," he says. "For instance, how to contact your manager and the other people you need to contact. It should be on paper. You want to have all of the information for your phone system provider, web server hosting, Internet contact--all the contacts you can imagine. Have it on paper and keep it updated."
It's About People and Planning
For a large, distributed enterprise, paper may be less of an immediate concern, but being able to reach out to your people should still be your first priority, says Daniel Newton, senior vice president of operations at Datapipe.
Datapipe is a provider of managed hosting services and data center infrastructure for IT services and cloud computing. Datapipe's headquarters are in Jersey City, N.J. on the other side of the Hudson River from New York City. It maintains data centers in Somerset, N.J., San Jose, Calif and the U.K. and China. Even with two data centers in New Jersey, Datapipe suffered no outages or failures as a result of the storm.
[Related: DHS Compares Cyber Threat to Hurricane Sandy Devastation]
"We focused on our people first and foremost," Newton says. "We had to ensure that we had the availability of our people and we had to make sure they were OK."
As soon as Newton's team was sure there was a reasonable probability of the storm hitting New Jersey, they made plans to move a number of people from the New Jersey office to an office in Austin, Texas for the week. The team also booked hotel rooms near the New Jersey facilities so they could walk to work if transit was impossible. Newton says the company even stocked up on supplies in the facility in case employees had to spend several days there. Team members in other locations around the world were also notified that their shifts might have to be flexible so they could pick up any slack.

Baby showers are such a fun and festive event! I can't think of anything worth celebrating more than the arrival of a new baby. It is so important to make the mother-to-be feel extra special by showering her with gifts, delicious food and great company.
If you are planning or hosting a baby shower soon, don't let yourself get bogged down with too much work and preparations; allow yourself to have some fun! Using these recipes and tips allows you to make everything ahead of time leaving you with more time to enjoy the festivities and spoil the guest of honor.
This menu allows the guest "do it themselves" a little bit, taking some of the burden off of your shoulder. The main course will be a buffet of sandwich items. Choose from some of Paula's best recipes such as Vidalia onion and lump blue crab salad, shrimp salad, lemon basil chicken salad or ham salad. Have about three options for your guests to choose from, set them out with sliced bread, lettuce and tomato and let guests make there own sandwiches. The great thing is that you can make all of these dishes ahead of time!
Provide some great sides to go along with the sandwiches. Grilled pasta salad is a wonderful and healthy dish to accompany your sandwich buffet. The smokiness from the grilled vegetables gives this salad an extra kick. And again, it is another dish that can be made ahead. Chilled corn and watermelon salad is beautiful and delicious. The bright yellow from the corn alongside the pink from the watermelon makes this dish irresistible. Impress your guests with this out-of-the-ordinary salad.
Potato salad is always a crowd pleaser, and keeping with the theme of do everything ahead, try Paula's pink potato salad. It is so easy to make, not only do the beets add beautiful color but also a unique flavor. To wash it all down mix up a pitcher of sparkling mint and ginger lemonade, and fun and festive alcohol-free cocktail.
Because all good parties end with a delicious dessert make a beautiful grand finale with Paula's cream cheese pound cake with grilled plums. This cake will hold up fine made a day ahead of time, grill the plums the day of and serve with some homemade whip cream or vanilla ice cream.
This do-ahead menu is sure to be a hit with your guests and will allow you more time to have fun and less time to stress.Read More From Holidays and Entertaining.

George Karl doesn't care how much money JaVale McGee makes
Oct 15, 2012, 12:38 PM EDT
So far in Denver's training camp, veteran big man Kosta Koufos has turned heads with his play. They also have Timofey Mozgov, who can be counted on for solid minutes every night.
What about JaVale McGee, who the Nuggets paid big money to keep this summer? Well, he has looked like JaVale Mcgee — some great shot blocks and moments of inspired play, but up and down. He will make $10 million this season in the first of a four-year, $44 million deal.
Nuggets coach George Karl told Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post minutes will go to the guys that earn them. So, Karl, who gets the most minutes?
"I have no idea. The perfect scenario would be that JaVale would get (minutes) in the high 20s and Kosta and Timo in the low 20s, but I'm not going to predict anything. I'm going to go coach to win games, not to play big guys."
When pressed about McGee being Denver's big-money signing this summer, Karl got fired up. "You think that's ever influenced me? You think I give a (darn) about what they make? You honestly think that bothers (me)? The only time it's good to know what the players make is to demand they play like a $10 million player," Karl said.
What Karl has with this Denver roster is depth. Really, depth and versatility — two things very dangerous in the veteran coach's hands. He can go big, go small, go with offense or defense, whatever causes the most matchup problems.
And he can go with the hot hand. Which is what we might see a lot at the five spot. When he's on his game, McGee can be one of the best big men in the game, but on the nights when he takes a mental vacation Karl has options. Good options.
The Denver Nuggets are going to be the NBA's must-watch team this season — fast paced and entertaining every night. And McGee is part of that — if nothing else, he is consistently entertaining.

When holiday seasons approach, there seem to be more food drives and other charitable programs than usual and everyone is more willing to donate to them. This is great, but, for many, this is the only time that they are charitable. People should be more consistent. If they are willing to give their time and money during the holiday season, they should be willing to do it all year.
Charitable programs are more noticeable around this time of year. There are food and clothing collections at schools and churches, as well as more people collecting for different charities such as the Salvation Army. If these types of programs were more noticeable during the whole year, people would be more aware of the problems and would be giving all the time.
The unfortunate people who need food, clothes and a place to stay do not exist just during the holidays. People should realize these programs are not just there to make them feel like they are doing good, they are there to help people who need it. ?
This piece has been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/09/13 -- Browns Restaurant Group (BRG) is pleased to announce it has signed a development deal with an experienced group of hospitality operators to expand into the Calgary, AB market by establishing as many as ten Browns Socialhouse locations there within the next seven years, creating an estimated 600 jobs.
The Calgary franchisees are a knowledgeable group of investors: lead partner Gord McCormick, operations manager Greg Taylor, director of business development Chad McCormick, and president and general manager Chad Taylor have been in business together operating various pubs and retail liquor stores across Western Canada for 30 years.
"We are enthusiastic about bringing our brand to Calgary. Its booming economy and residential spread will enable Browns to serve multiple neighbourhoods," says Bruce Fox, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President Development of Browns Restaurant Group. "Plus, this group of franchisees is an ideal fit for us. Working with experienced restaurateurs is critical to the Browns Socialhouse business model."
"We're thrilled to be part of the Browns family," says McCormick. "We've aligned ourselves with a major success story in Canada's premium casual dining scene. Browns has an established system for success and this deal is a smart growth strategy for our group."
Quickly becoming a national restaurant chain, Browns plans to open its first location in Ontario in 2015. The company will have 50 Browns Socialhouses established by the end of 2014, across the four Western Provinces.
About Browns Restaurant Group
Browns Restaurant Group has been making guests feel at home since 2004. With a growing list of locations throughout western Canada, each Browns Socialhouse is owned and operated by a community-minded franchisee. BRG also franchises under the name Scotty Browns in the US. There are presently two locations in Bellingham, WA, and another in development just outside of Seattle in Bellevue. Browns president and CEO Scott Morison pioneered the Socialhouse concept and created more than a restaurant. Whether it's for a business lunch, after-work cocktail, celebratory get-together with family and friends or a comfortable, relaxed environment to watch the big game, Browns is the place to be social.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Newtown residents have approved spending $750,000 in grant money from the state of Connecticut to begin work on replacing the school where 26 people were shot to death in December.
The News Times of Danbury (http://bit.ly/1aKvPRM ) reports an overflow crowd of about 200 people attended Wednesday night's town meeting, which is required when local officials consider spending more than $500,000 on any project.
The crowd approved the spending for the new Sandy Hook Elementary School by a unanimous voice vote after a 7-minute meeting.
The money will be used for preparation, design and site work for the school, which will be built once the existing one is demolished.
The town plans an October referendum to approve spending the remainder of the $50 million in state funds set aside for the school.

He's one of those rare blue-chip prospects, a once in a decade-type player. The former top-rated high school prospect should have an instant impact on the field for decades to come, and a Pro Bowl isn't out of the question his rookie year. And with the draft quickly approaching, this defensive end is the favorite to go No. 1 overall.
Jadeveon Clowney, meet Da'Quan Bowers.
The similarities between the two players are hard to ignore. The 6-foot-4, 290 pounder was a beast for Clemson – it was like watching a varsity player suit up for the JV team. The seventh grade JV team, that is.
Bowers finished his career with 150 tackles and 19 1/2 sacks, including a jaw-dropping 15 1/2 his junior year. So he bolted. After all, he was pretty much universally thought of as the No. 1 overall pick.
But there were whispers. Questions about his health. Pretty soon, Bowers' stock plummeted leading up to the draft, with knee problems so worrisome that some teams took him off their draft board. Too much of a risk, they said.Wouldn't last more than four seasons, others said.
Still, surely Bowers will go somewhere by the fifth pick in the draft, right?
Nope. Bowers slipped all the way to No. 51, where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted him with the 19th pick of the second round.
Now about to enter his fourth season, it seems like the scouts' and GMs' fears were valid. Bowers' injury-riddled stats his first three seasons include 45 tackles and 5 1/2 sacks. His best year was in 2012, when he had 13 tackles and 3 sacks in only 10 games. If new Bucs coach Lovie Smith can't tap into that vast potential, it's possible Bowers will be cut.
Flash-forward to the 2014 draft, and the comparisons between Clowney and Bowers are obvious. Like Bowers, Clowney was the former top high school recruit in the nation. And, at 6-foot-5, 265 pounds, Clowney looked like a man among boys when he took the field for the Gamecocks.
However, Clowney had a "down" year his junior year, recording only three sacks after racking up 13 as a sophomore and eight as a freshman. He finished with similar stats to Bowers (130 tackles, 24 sacks), but those questions about his "off" junior year persist. Nagging injuries seem to be the culprit. But more damaging are the questions about his work ethic.
Suddenly, instead of sitting atop the draft board as the consensus No. 1 overall pick, Clowney's stock is starting to slip in some circles. And while Houston and St. Louis could still draft him No. 1 or No. 2, the teams below them – Jacksonville, Cleveland, Oakland, Atlanta and Tampa, all improved their defenses via free agency.
Although the odds of Clowney slipping all the way, to, say No. 16, are pretty slim, remember that Bower's stock was already slipping by March 2011.
So, will Clowney suffer the same fate as Bowers on draft day? Probably not. Clowney is a much more highly touted player. Plus, Bowers had a history of knee injuries, far more serious than any of the nagging injuries that slowed down Clowney.
But there are other similarities to consider. Both players at one point led a deep and talented draft. Instead, the No. 1 player in 2011 was Cam Newton, followed by Von Miller (Denver), Marcell Dareus (Buffalo), A.J. Green (Cincinnati), Patrick Peterson (Arizona), Julio Jones (Atlanta), Aldon Smith (San Francisco), Jake Locker (Tennessee), Tyron Smith (Dallas), Blaine Gabbert (Jacksonville), J.J. Watt (Houston), Christian Ponder (Florida State), Nick Fairley (Detroit), Robert Quinn (St. Louis), Mike Pouncey (Miami), Ryan Kerrigan (Washington) and Nate Solder (New England). Of that group, Newton, Miller, Green, Peterson, Jones, the two Smiths and Watt are already stars.
So, if the 2014 draft follows a similar pattern, then it's possible – possible – Clowney will be around when Dallas selects. And should they pass on the former Gamecock, history says the Cowboys will still find an impact player.

Easter bunny hopping on the GWR
Updated 12:22pm Tuesday 15th April 2014 in News
IT will be a special occasion for youngsters visiting the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWSR) on Easter Monday.
There will be an egg-citing combination of steam trains, the Easter Bunny and a host of activities for all the family.
Boarding the 'Easter Eggspress' specials from Cheltenham Racecourse or from Toddington will take visitors to Toddington where the Easter Bunny will be hopping around making friends.
Colin Fewell, volunteer commercial director of the GWSR, said: "The fluffy giant rabbit will be there to greet visitors - a great photo opportunity.
"There's lots of fun too, for everyone - with plenty of prizes to be won. Competitions include egg and spoon racing, Easter egg rolling and lots of craft activities to enjoy.
"Of course, the impressive model railway layouts will be in action, and no Easter event would be complete without an Easter egg hunt now, would it?"
The railway is also running an Easter Bonnet competition which has been a popular feature in previous years. For details and times, visit gwsr.com.

Halászbástya (Fishermen's Bastion)
Halászbástya (Fishermen's Bastion) Review
The wondrous porch overlooking the Danube and Pest is the neo-Romanesque Fishermen's Bastion, a merry cluster of white stone towers, arches, and columns above a modern bronze statue of St. Stephen, Hungary's first king. Although you must pay to wander over most of it during the day over much of the year (as has been the practice since 2000), the price is reasonable. Medieval fishwives once peddled their wares here, but now you see merchants selling souvenirs and crafts, musicians, and—less visible but always present—pickpockets. Buy your tickets at the tiny office beside the Tourinform by the adjacent park.

Kosha Dillz - Super Jew Anthem
Artist: Kosha Dillz
Producer: Falside
Album: The Write Off Vol. 3
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 9 total votes )
Forget the powers, the gadgets and the ridiculous costumes; the true measure of a hero is the quality of his theme music. With the December 2011 release of Kosha Dillz' Super Jew Anthem, Leedz Edutainment's own Sly Young (best known for hosting the label's shows in Boston) joined the illustrious ranks of Superman, Batman, Spiderman and The Tick, but something was still missing—namely, the visuals. Today, we're proud to present the record along with the Booth-exclusive world premiere of director D. Gomez' official video. Here, Falside's head-noddable bass-percussion beat bangs in the back as the L.A.-by-way-of-Jersey emcee delivers verses packed with tongue-in-cheek braggadocio ("Combination superstar and a Jewish Star of David / Yeah, every bar is sacred.") and subcultural allusions (JDate.com gets a shout-out). Meanwhile, the visuals feature Kosha and Sly kicking it at various Hebraic hotspots throughout Brookline, Massachusetts. Fans can find this jam and much more on Leedz Edutainment's The Write Off, Vol. 3 compilation, released late last year and available for free streaming and download in the Booth.

I had pondered writing a post called "Requirements Decay" about how requirements don't last forever. In my research I found that such a post, complete with "my" words "requirements decay" and "requirements half-life", had already been done comprehensively here. In a compact argument underpinned by half-life mathematics, the anonymous author proposes that a requirement isn't likely to stand forever and explores the implications.
"Why can't I just say, 'do this because I said so?!!' Shouldn't that be enough?!!'" This is what my friend Jonah and fellow parent of a three-year-old said to me recently, as we were swapping stories about the trials and tribulations of raising kids. Or more specifically, the trials and tribulations of getting them to behave the way we want. As Jonah noted with some exasperation, everything—from putting on their shoes, to eating their carrots, to, for goodness sake, stopping the endless bickering with their siblings—seems to be a series of negotiations.
