Update: Variety adds that Paul Giamatti and Sarah Paulson have also joined the film. Giamatti will play Freeman who "takes possession of the slaves upon their arrival in New Orleans" while Paulson will be Michael Fassbender's jealous wife.
There are few actors in Hollywood with the clout of Brad Pitt to ensure they line up with top talent for each outing, and if you're able to impress the actor and producer, all the better. That seems to be the case of the excellent character actor Garret Dillahunt, who first starred opposite Pitt as the dim Ed Miller in "The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford." He recently landed a small part in Andrew Dominik's furious "Killing Them Softly" and while he didn't make the final cut, Pitt wants his talent yet again.
Dillahunt is the latest to join Steve McQueen's "Twelve Years A Slave," which Pitt is producing and will have a small role in. He joins a pretty great cast that includes Michael Fassbender, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Adepero Oduye, Scoot McNairy, Ruth Negga and Taran Killam in the true story of Solomon Northup, a freed slave who is tricked back into slavery, and has to go court to reclaim his status. Dillahunt will play Armsby, a field hand who winds up working alongside Solomon.
Shooting on the pic begins later this month, and obviously, we're pretty excited for this one. [Deadline]

YOU DUMB? Stop being an ass. I understand Peppy's point. Even if he or she hadn't read the book, common sense would tell you that a black man who is enslaved for 12 years in the South under various owners is going to come across more than just two other slaves. In fact it is more likely that such a man would interact far more with other slaves (black people) than he would white citizens (even those that are his masters). But as of right now only three black people have been announced as actors for this movie and filming stats at the end of this month. Some people may get paranoid and come to the conclusion that this film will be more about white folks than the black people who suffered under slavery. That's not where I'm coming from. I don't think that will happen. However all the juice so far is about the casting of well-known white actors; even Ejiofor's casting as the so-called lead has been afterthought as soon as it was announced that Fassbender and Pitt were cast as well. And since then we have gotten mostly casting updates of white actors. Don't get me wrong. There are a bunch of talented people being brought into the production and that is exciting. But are we losing track of what the story is about or do we only care if someone like Fassbender will get his Oscar? And, yes, what is up regarding the casting of the other black characters (slave and non-slave)? Is it a matter of the remaining black actors being relatively unknown and therefore not as worthy of a press release, is it that the majority of black parts will just endd up getting cast later or is that the roles of the other black characters have been greatly reduced? Those are all legitimate questions considering the story (based on real-life events) that McQueen is trying to tell. I still have high hopes for the film and I too love the overall quality of performers who are coming aboard, but I am curious about the slow pace of casting regarding the (assumed) key roles of other black people from the book.
Peppy | June 5, 2012 6:52 PM
So many white people for a movie about slavery.
Mr Anonymous | June 5, 2012 3:56 PM
Amazing, AMAZING cast! Let this be an Oscar front runner for 2013!
Kate | June 5, 2012 3:51 PM
It seems odd to me that there are only three black actors cast so far compared to 8/9 white actors.
Kim | June 5, 2012 3:42 PM
WTF, brilliant cast. Come on mqcueen give us a hat trick! Come oscar season, this movies just can't be ignored...
Dan | June 5, 2012 3:35 PM
Jesus. What a hell of a cast

Lib Dems hand back MP's son's donation (From Richmond and Twickenham Times)

Son of Richmond Park MP Susan Kramer breached donation rules
12:50pm Thursday 20th August 2009 in News By Times reporter
The son of Richmond Park MP Susan Kramer broke the rules when he made a donation to the Lib Dem Party.
Jonathan Kramer made four monthly donations of £332 between December 2008 and March this year.
But the Lib Dems have had to repay the money after the Electoral Commission discovered Mr Kramer was not registered to vote in the UK.
Parties can only accept donations from those on the electoral roll.
Parties have 30 days to check whether donations are permissible or return them.
A party spokeswoman said Mr Kramer had been unaware his name had fallen off the electoral register and the money - £1,328.20 in total - had been paid back once the error was pointed out.

I've spent some time here confessing my writerly sins, and I'm really not quite done. May never be, come to that. Bless me, reader, for here's another…
Alice Walker writes in her collection We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For about keeping her mind empty and uncluttered with the ideas of others so that her own thoughts, her own words have space to grow. A nice concept, particularly for one given to meditation, yoga, and other woowoo pursuits.
But that ain't how I roll.
My desk has a perpetual scrap pile, a rotating stock of slips of paper or napkins inked with other people's ideas, quoted or paraphrased. They are my jumping-off place, the grease that gets the gears inside my head turning. I don't own a book that isn't underlined and dog-eared, each line and crease worked deeper every time I read it. It's the whole reason I have a Wise Words category on this blog; the reason quotation dictionaries even exist. Someone has always said it well, before me–but that's not to say that I can't also say it, in my way. It isn't exactly a collaboration, but it is part of the greater muse-artist-muse cycle that every thinking person is part of. "Wildly original" usually just means you dressed up the proverbial Same Old in an intriguing new outfit.
No, though the venerable Ms. Walker and I may have different opinions about how clean the slate should be when we sit down to write, my sin is not thinking too much on the words other people have written. It isn't even that I lean too heavily on them when I put my own pen to paper. It's that I'm prone to a special kind of hedonism, one given too much to incubation and not enough to propogation. I'm content to steep myself in other peoples' words and ideas, rolling around in them with the enthusiasm my grandmother's toy poodle reserved for fresh cow patties, thinking about where I might take them next. Thinking; not writing. Fragrant though the experience may be, it gets me no closer to clicking that "Publish" button.
My sin, more plainly put, is that I wait for the easy bits. I've amassed an impressive collection of notes, the zygotes of a thousand new pieces, but so often I only make time for the Venus ideas–those that emerge, fully formed and alive, lacking only the right accessories and a date to the ball. The task set before me, which I frequently push back like it was not what I ordered, is to take the sand in my own hands and diligently, attentively–arduously, even–craft the pearl. I gotta start with the seafoam, or the sunset in the background, not with the lady on the halfshell who comes with her own backstory and beaus, ready-built.
Walker does ask a compelling question, though: "Do you believe you can learn to trust a mind that isn't always speaking to you?" While I cherish the quietude I cultivate, ever so clumsily, when I sit in meditation, it isn't separate from the noise that always edges back in. If anything, the quiet mind lays fertile ground for the chattering mind–the words that fall into that space can grow into something rich.
I've turned the soil and gathered the seeds; now we'll see what grows.

You can find the full source code for this website in the Seam package in the directory /examples/wiki. It is licensed under the LGPL.
Due to time constraints and the rigidity of the Seam project build, the Seam project does not have an official Maven 2 project template for Seam. However, the Seam artifacts are published to the JBoss Maven 2 repository, allowing Seam artifacts to be retrieved by third-party Maven 2 projects. Fortunately, Seam has a strong and motivated community and there have been several initiatives to provide an archetype for starting a Seam application that is built with Maven 2.
Until Maven 2 is officially supported in Seam 3, the Seam team members have identified an initiative to sanction as the official Maven 2 project archetype for Seam 2. The Know IT Objectnet developers have created a
Mavenized Seam project template for you to use. They pulled together a lot of research and development based on existing Java EE and Seam Maven 2 projects and distilled them into an excellent starting point.
The developers also generously converted several of the source code stages/chapters from Seam in Action to Maven 2 projects as well.
As of now the project is aimed at running on the JBoss AS 4.2.3 and JBoss AS 5.X application servers deployed as an EAR project.
The Know IT Objectnet developers welcome fellow Seam and Maven 2 fans to this project. Whether you want to use this template to develop your own projects, or you want to contribute to the project, they invite you to check out the code.
We appreciate the many other efforts lead by community members to assemble a Seam project based on a Maven 2 build, which are listed here.
Using SeamTest with Maven can be a challenge because the Embedded JBoss container on which SeamTest relies is not very
classpath friendly. It brings its own solar system of JAR files with it and those can easily conflict with the classpath built by Maven. Please see the following thread on how best to integrate the two:
TestNG and Maven - How To Configure It Correctly
Play close attention to the responses Dan gives.
Be sure to follow the developments in Seam 3, which will include an official Maven 2 archetype for Seam applications. We welcome your feedback and expertise as we
standardize the structure of this project.
3 comments:
Can integration tests be run now on a Maven 2 template based project? The last time I checked it was not possible to run the tests with the Embedded JBoss container neither from the command line with
If I remember correctly it was in the process of being implemented. Is it, now?
I've also used Cambridge Technology Partner's archetype. It seems to be well thought-out.
I started a seam maven archetype of my own at http://code.google.com/p/open-archetypes/
seam-ear-archetype will generate a nested multi module project, allowing you to run integration tests (i.e. using the embedded JBoss) both compatible with eclipse (m2eclipse 0.9.9 and testng plugin required) and maven.
It's an early version, so it will assume you already created a mysql database having the same name as your main artifact, and it's targeted at running on JBoss 5. I'm currently testing JBoss Tools integration.

Dear Doves,
There are only two 'Feasts of God' that have a day-count, The 'Feast of Unleavened Bread' is seven-days long, and the 'Feast of Tabernacles' is also seven-days long. Passover, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, and Day of Atonement are all single-days.
The following Scripture also has a day-count. This Scripture may indicate that the rapture will happen "ON THE THIRD DAY" of either the 'Feast of Unleavened Bread' or the 'Feast of Tabernacles'.
Hosea 6:2
"After two days He will revive us; ON THE THIRD DAY He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight."
Jesus was resurrected "ON THE THIRD DAY" of the 'Feast of Unleavened Bread', and Jesus suddenly appeared in "ABOUT THE MIDDLE" of the 'Feast of Tabernacles'.
Come Lord Jesus,
Bruce Warner

Gulf World Marine Institute Stranding Team responded to a call from NOAA Fisheries on Tuesday morning at around 6:30am.
The call identified that there was an animal in distress on Santa Rosa Beach near Alligator Lake. When the team arrived on scene they identified the animal as a male Short-finned Pilot Whale approximately eight and a half feet in length. This pelagic species (deep water animal) is commonly found in the Gulf of Mexico.
Local residents and Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge one of Gulf World's stranding network partners where on scene to assist with the rescue. After Dr. Lydia Staggs, Gulf World's resident veterinarian assessed the whale. This animal was emaciated with labored breathing along with poor results from blood testing performed on site.
After consulting with NOAA Fisheries it was determined that the animal was not a candidate for rehabilitation and was humanly euthanized. The animal will be necropsied by National Marine Fishers Service officials.

LAS VEGAS -- Metro Police announced that the officer involved in a controversial deadly shooting has been fired.
According to police, Sheriff Gillespie approved the termination of Officer Jesus Arevalo Tuesday. The decision came after the department's pre-termination board recommended the termination.
Officer Arevalo fatally shot Stanley Gibson Dec. 2011. Gibson was a disabled Gulf War veteran who had driven into the wrong apartment complex. Residents at the apartments near Rainbow Boulevard and Smoke Ranch Road called police to report something suspicious.
When officers responded, Gibson tried to drive away and ignored police commands to get out of the car.
Officers had decided to use a low-lethal shotgun, which fires a small beanbag round. However, Arevalo used live rounds hitting and killing Gibson.
Metro Police say a breakdown in police radio communication led to the deadly shooting. The Clark County District Attorney's Office found in its review of the shooting that communication problems and an officer's mistake led to the shooting.
The DA also decided not to press any criminal charges against Arevalo or the other officers involved in the shooting.
Gibson's widow says her husband suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. She is suing Metro Police over the shooting.
The pre-termination board ruled that Arevalo lacked the ability to make sound decisions in situations routinely faced by police officers.

Norbury florist burglar caught on CCTV
Updated 1:48pm Thursday 8th May 2014 in News By Chris Baynes, Reporter
A burglar raided a florist in the early hours of this morning - only to find police officers waiting for him when he left.
A 21-year-old was arrested after a council CCTV operator spotted him acting suspiciously by the business in London Road, Norbury, just after 3.30am.
The operator contacted police, who arrested the suspect as he left the shop.
Detective chief inspector Steve Baxter, of Croydon police's burglary squad, said: "This demonstrates the value of the CCTV coverage in Croydon in helping to tackle crime in the borough.
"Thanks to the quick-thinking actions of the Council CCTV operator, we were able to quickly deploy officers to the scene and have arrested a burglary suspect."

Forgive but I forget the manager's name who helped me but my movers were hours late in arriving to pick up my items from my apartment.

The Commercial-News
---- — Shirley Jean Miller, 84, of Danville passed away at 9:15 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013, at North Logan Health Care in Danville.
She was born Nov. 11, 1928, in Danville to Dale William and Philida (Robertson) Zercher.
She attended Roselawn, Edison, and Danville High School and graduated in 1946. She worked as a telephone operator at Illinois Bell until 1955. She then became a stay-at-home mom and Brownie and Girl Scout leader, while raising her three children. She worked at Walgreens Accounting until the family moved to Paris in 1971. In Paris, she was happily employed at Paragraphs gift shop for many years and truly enjoyed working there.
She married her high school sweetheart, Jack Edward Miller, on Feb. 18, 1951, at Central Christian Church in Danville. He preceded her in death on Sept. 21, 1999.
After his passing, Shirley began working in the deli at County Market Towne Centre. She worked there for almost 13 years before finally retiring Dec. 31, 2012.
She was an active member of CrossRoads Christian Church and an avid poem writer. Shirley wrote many poems that she could recite and shared with her church. She loved animals of all kinds, especially horses, and the many dogs and cats that she owned. In the mid '90s Shirley was instrumental in helping the fire department acquire Cairn's IRIS helmet mount with Rep. Bill Black to help firefighters see better in fires.
Surviving Shirley are one daughter, Toni (Rod) Day; one son, Michael (Tina) Miller; grandchildren, Alissa (Todd) Wright, Stacy (Day) High, Christopher (Kim) Day, Jenna and Brandt McCoskey, Brandy and Angela Miller and Autumn (Ryan) Pecchenino; one half-brother, Jerry (Nancy) Fellows; sister-in-law, Marjorie (Jim) Gilliland; many nieces, nephews; and 18 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her sister, Betty Rupp; brother, Bill Zercher; and daughter, Melissa McCoskey.
A Celebration of Shirley's Life will begin at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, at CrossRoads Christian Church with Pastor Miles Clark officiating. Memorials can be made to the Vermilion County Humane Society. Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation Center, a Life Celebration Home in Danville, is in charge of arrangements.
She was a sweet and caring woman, and she was loved by all who met her. She will be greatly missed. Condolences can be left at www.sunsetfuneralhome.com.

San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews has a hamstring injury and is questionable to return against the Kansas City Chiefs. Mathews has 14 carries for 55 yards on Sunday with a touchdown and a fumble. The Chargers are down 28-27 in the fourth quarter.
Mathews came into the game with 666 rushing yards and one touchdown. The fourth-year running back has played in all 11 games this season but has never played a full 16-game season in his career as of yet. He had 1,546 total yards in 2011 with six touchdowns but has just five touchdowns in the last two seasons, including his score against the Chiefs today.
Veteran Ronnie Brown will take an increased role for as long as Mathews is out, with Danny Woodhead likely continuing to play his role as a running back and receiving threat. Woodhead has 25 rushing yards and 12 receiving yards, with a touchdown on the ground and another through the air.

Man gets life sentence for Lakeland boy's death
Man told police he injured boy to make up for lack of discipline
Published On: Jul 02 2013 09:36:33 AM EDT Updated On: Jul 02 2013 09:45:37 AM EDT
A 22-year-old man will spend the rest of his life in jail for the 2011 death of his girlfriend's 4-year-old Lakeland boy.
The Ledger of Lakeland reports Marton Pal accepted a plea deal with prosecutors Monday. His trial was scheduled for next week.
Pal told the boy's family on Monday that he can't look them in the eye like a man because he's "lost all self-respect for himself."
An autopsy found the boy died from blunt force abdominal trauma. Pal told police the boy was injured at a park. Later he said he made up the story.
The Ledger reports he told police he was frustrated that the boy's mother didn't discipline him So, Pal told police he injured the boy to make up for lack of discipline.

Trick #5
Reframe the run.
Couch talk. You can't block out adversity–we know that now. But you can distract yourself mentally as well as physically. "Any athletic event or endeavor is highly emotional," says Yukelson. "It's all about how you handle tough situations, how you keep your perspective."
Here's how one mega-miler keeps hers: "The first 100-miler I ever tried, I didn't finish, because I tried to fit 100 miles in my head and couldn't," says Ann Trason, 45, who subsequently went on to win the women's division of the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run a whopping eight times. "It was just too much. So now, I never let myself think of the total distance. I really push it aside and play games with the miles instead.
"For instance, when I run Western States, I think of the distance as a lifetime," Trason continues. "During the first few miles, I pretend I'm an infant just learning how to walk. During the next stage, I imagine I'm an adolescent, running wild. When I hit the canyons, which are incredibly tough, at mile 45, I think, I'm having a midlife crisis. But that's okay, because I'm 45 and should be having a midlife crisis! And when I hit 90 miles, I think, why am I feeling so bad? It's because I'm 90! Even at that point, I don't think about the race being 100 miles. It's still too early. I only let the final distance enter my mind around mile 93, when I'm less than a decade away."
Road action. Build a mental construct surrounding your run to reframe the run–and the pain. For instance, divide your 12-miler into three 4-mile segments. During the first segment, design and build your dream home. During the second, move in and decorate it. And during the third? Landscape your estate. (This is your dream home, remember.) The engineer within should be so busy with the wiring, he won't even notice the whining without.
Another idea: Take it in segments. Explains mega-mega-marathoner Norm Frank (as we went to press, Frank had completed a mind-boggling 617 marathons), "Sometimes I get mentally drained around mile 20 or so in a marathon. And to get through, I break the race into segments. At 20, I think, I've only got 6 miles to go, and that's just 24 laps of a quarter-mile track. At 23, I think, I've only got 12 laps left. Anytime I'm tired, I tend to do that–take it in segments. Laps are a lot easier to swallow than miles–especially at the end."
Trick #6
Look inward.
Couch talk. Ready for a smidgen of Zen? Fasten your seat belt, this could get a little airy. The topic: detached awareness.
As Palmer describes it, "Detached awareness describes a state of utter inner calm. When you've achieved it, you're wholly relaxed about the circumstances around you [the weather, the course, your competition], but you're positively focused on your ability to perform."
So you're detached from your surroundings, but you're well aware of what your body's doing–much like the marathoning followers of Sri Chinmoy, an Indian spiritual leader who spreads his message of inner peace through meditation and extreme physical challenges–like marathon running.
"Some of Sri Chinmoy's students use meditation to keep them in the races we sponsor," explains Sahishnu Szczefiul, an ultrarunner and race director on the New York Sri Chinmoy Marathon team. "The idea is to learn to go within yourself, to keep your mind as calm and quiet as possible while you run–to use meditation to enhance your mental strength so your mind can then discipline your body."
Road action. Need a little help staying tuned in to the internal? Make up a mind picture. Followers of Sri Chinmoy might focus on a candle, flower or natural scene. But we prefer Olympic Marathon gold medalist Frank Shorter's strategy of imagining his legs as bike wheels. The result? A smooth, steady pace and championship-caliber form–and focus.

Bellerose Theater
245-14 Jericho Turnpike,
Floral Park,
9 people favorited this theater
The Bellerose Theater opened in 1926 and is located on Jericho Turnpike at the intersection of Jamaica Avenue and Rocky Hill Road (today renamed Braddock Avenue). It stands just east of the Cross Island, about a mile away from the Floral Theatre.
Originally seating 1,180, it was last operated by the Century Theaters chain and closed in the mid-1980's with 880 seats. The building was gutted internally and became a carpet store. Today it is in use as a martial arts store and for storage.

Okay, I know you guys have been waiting, so here I go again. This had better work! I'm tired! :>
I hope you can see it.
Hey, Bway and Tinseltoes, thanks for the help. I managed to do it, I think. (waves)
Nice to see the image but, unfortunately the marquee had seen better days by then having been hit by a truck and having much of the neon covered over. But what I still long for is a photo of the original marquee. So many of the theatres on CT have them. What surprises me is that so many of them had verticals in the beginning which were long gone before I started getting interested in them. In my youth I only remember verticals on the Fantasy, Floral and Mineola in Nassau and the Valencia, Astoria, Queens and Triboro in Queens.
Hello. I "moved" into Bellerose Terrace in 1983 at the age of 4 and stayed until 18, after which I had periodic stays until now, at 31. I did visit the theater until it closed in ?? I have seen some correct and not so correct comments, but so be it. I would like to welcome any old-timers or anyone to write me at or call 917-690-4330 about any of their old memories or just to reminisce. This unique area shaped the rest of my life, and I had to protect it as it protected me over the years. I hope to have a dialogue with anyone who wants it while I recapture my past in this tiny, yet influential area that nobody else knows about. If you understand, feel free to contact me anytime. Thanks. —apd
apd and I visited the theatre site yesterday. Windows have been added to the second floor where there were indications that they may have previously existed. You enter through the lobby where the original ceiling is still intact, with the addition of a ceiling fan through the center medallion. The floor, which originally had an incline, to the auditorium is now level. The two stores which flanked the lobby are now part of the martial arts complex with entrances through the lobby. The auditorium has been converted into a two story warehouse. Since the owner/manager was not present we were not able to look further than the public space. The employees indicated they had never seen any of the remnants of the original theatre, not even the actual ceilling, which I would have imagined would be visible from the second floor warehouse area.
rvb and I have been speaking since my post on 9/24/10. We finally visited the theater and toured the neighborhood. I think we both surprised each other with our stories from different decades and eras. I didn't have much time to be attached to the theater, but I have a great interest in Bellerose Terrace and all of the surrounding areas, from now back to who knows when. If anyone else would like to take a look around, or just talk about recent things, or old history, feel free to write me at or call my cell anytime 917-690-4330. Also, if anyone can get google, etc. to direct people to CT who are searching BT and not necessarily Bellerose Theater, that would be great. Thanks. —apd
Does anyone remember the manager referred to as Mr. D?
This new article may or may not clear up some of the confusion over Jamaica Avenue and Jericho Trunpike: qchron
The only real confusion these days is that the Bellerose theatre which was once in Bellerose is now considered Floral Park because the two block deep section of the village in Nassau County was reassigned to the Floral Park post office. As far as the split street situation, 225th Street was where Jericho Turnpike began on the south side of the avenue. Why 225? Because that's where Nassau County began. Jericho Turnpike was the northern border of the Nassau County portion of what used to be Bellerose. Jamaica Avenue bordered the Queens County portion which ran to Floral Park just past Little Neck Parkway. When Queens County ceased it all became Jericho Turnpike. I don't remember the actual street but it's where the Q36 terminated; the end of Queens County.
To the projectionists out there. I always maintained that the Bellerose had the largest, if not one of the largest, Cinemascope screens on Long Island because it's proscenium was almost the entire width of the building, which was a big box. Any feedback?

In a little over a mile you will see the campus and Alford Arena (spiked white roof) on your left. Take the first left just past the arena (Long Road).
Stay on this road as it turns 90 degrees to the right to go around the gymnasium, then 90 degrees back to the left. Pass the grass mall and Beddington and Flagstaff roads on the right. Jenness Hall will be the next building on your right. It is a three-story building with rock exterior siding, and a gray, two-story addition off the back. Parking is in the rear.

Hello All,
First off I want to say as soon as the schedule came out this year I circled this game; I have lots of family in Michigan, Detroit specifically, and always look forward to the few times our teams play each other.
There has already been some good natured jawing between our teams, thanks in part to a slight miss quote by our own Dez Bryant. None the less I thought I'd give us a forum for some more of the same.
I hope you know I come in peace, and only wish to add to the discussion, I hope we can keep it on good terms yada yada yada.
Questions I had:
How much of a difference does it mean to have Reggie Bush, no disrespect to Calvin Johnson, but for my money I am trying to contain Reggie first. I know CJ is gonna eat either way, but 2 yard dump off that goes for 60 yards is what will kill teams. Bell isn't shabby either.
How has Pedigrew Looked this year? He's a guy that's always mystified me, I feel like he should be more prolific than he is, is it a question of the lions not using him, or is he just not that great a player? Or am I just not seeing him enough and my gen opinion is wrong?
How do you feel about your corners on Dez? Teams have had some success in bracket coverage removing him (one of the reasons Johnson > Bryant, also they both had opportunity to make same play last week, Johnson sky's and catches, Dez skys... and almost catches... womp womp )
There is no more Bobby Carpenter right? He's definitely gone Correct? Geeze, may I never see that again...
I will be checking in and answering any and all questions you may have out there about the Cowboys.
So with out further adieu
Let it begin!

The ultimate winner will receive a custom mallard duck call from Watkins Duck Calls in acrylic or stabilized wood. There is also an early entry bonus prize in the pot for the first 25 Refuge Rats that make a rat name submission.
Watkins Duck Calls
Brian Watkins has been duck and goose hunting on the public waters of Chesapeake Bay for about 30 years which requires a great deal of effort and preparation on the part of the hunter. Virginia has an elaborate set of public goose and duck hunting laws which are complicated, but anybody that hunts public lands, refuges, or waters knows that though the amount of effort required to be successful can be great, it just makes the good days that much sweeter. Give Watkins Duck Calls a holler if you hunt public lands, waters, or refuges, and are looking for a new duck call.
Name the Rat
As for the contest, you may have seen an illustration of a new rat character floating around recently as we have been soliciting name ideas. This illustration is one of several new charming public land duck and goose hunting characters you will see associated with the company.

I am sure that there is nothing real about the food at the Real Greek, but so what? It is a great place to grab a snack at lunchtime: a selection of meze plates, a glass of wine, a friendly chat with the waiter. Nothing standout, nothing terribly bad and all at a reasonable price.
In today's age of austerity, there is little better compliment.

Was Callie Long legally intoxicated the night she hit bicyclist Brett Walrath? That's the question attorneys argued in a Lubbock courtroom on day two of the trial.
Long's accused of driving drunk, then hitting Walrath on Loop 289 in August 2003. He died five months later.
Day two of the Prosecution's case was just as active as the first. The day began with the Prosecution showing a video of Callie Long doing her sobriety tests with Lubbock police. The state is trying to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Long was drunk the night of the crash.
Divided attention is what police sobriety tests are based on because each test requires a driver to do more than one thing at a time. The two tests the Prosecution focused on were the walk and turn test and the one leg stand. A driver can be considered intoxicated if they get 2 out of 8 clues for the walk and turn. An officer on stand said Callie Long had 6 clues. If you get 2 out of 4 clues on the one leg stand you would also fail, the officer said Long had two clues.
The other thing Prosecutors are looking at is the blood test, the legal limit is .08, according to an expert witness, Long's test registered at .13.
Arguments for intoxication began with the Prosecution's video evidence of the sobriety tests, as well as three witnesses testifying that Long was intoxicated. The Defense argued that officer sobriety tests are subjective, and that they can vary because of a person's height, weight, age, or injuries. The Prosecution then moved onto the blood alcohol level being over the legal limit, but the Defense argued the blood sample could possibly be contaminated.
The Prosecution's case is supposed to wrap up on Thursday, and they'll begin the trial with where they left off with trying to prove intoxication.

A woman in Orem, Utah was so offended by a line of PacSun T-shirts depicting models posing in lingerie that she bought her local store's entire stock to keep the items off the street.
BuzzFeed reported that Judy Cox spent $567 to empty the shop's supply of "pornographic" and "indecent" shirts.
Cox intends to get her money back, however.
She told the Orem Daily Herald that she will return the shirts before the 60-day limit on store returns expires.
"I'll let their corporate office figure out what to do with them when I return them on day 59 of a 60-day return policy," said Cox.
It was on a shopping trip with her teenage son that Cox spotted the display of T-shirts in PacSun's window.
"I had a conversation with the store manager," Cox said. "She said she did refuse to put the accompanying banner up with the display because it was much worse, but that she couldn't take down the T-shirts without talking to her corporate office, but the promo was over Wednesday anyway. She said she told them it might not go over well."
The manager of the University Mall PacSun store told the Daily Herald that she contacted the corporate office about Cox's concerns.
Cox has enlisted Christian groups One Million Moms and Women for Decency in her effort against PacSun. The Herald claims that Cox is being courted by national news outlets like "The Today Show" and "Newsday."

ANDERSON, Ind. —
Animal shelters, humane societies and animal rescue groups across the country use adoption applications to screen applicants.
Because we at the Animal Protection League don't know on a personal basis most of the people who adopt from us, this is simply one way to make that extra effort to put animals in loving permanent homes.
To some people it seems excessive and a little silly, but then they don't see the abuse that humans do to animals on a regular basis. We do.
We want to make every effort that our animals are not abused or neglected. That you really do want that cute little puppy even when it grows up. That you meant it when you said you really wanted a high-energy dog. Or a cat that needs lots of attention. And that you understand that cats make bigger messes than kittens and it's OK. We want to make sure the animals and the people adopting them are a good fit. We don't want these animals coming back because we didn't do our job. Do we always get it right? No, sometimes people fool us.
It is so very important that people are truthful when they fill out these applications. When they are not truthful and we become aware of this it becomes difficult for everyone concerned, and more times than not that application is denied. We want every adoptable animal to find a loving home. Unfortunately due to the numbers that come in on a daily basis, it is simply not possible; there are not enough responsible pet owners. This will continue as long as people do not spay/neuter their animals and let them roam and do not see pet ownership as an important responsibility.
Unfortunately, we do find it necessary to deny a small percentage of the adoption applications that are filled out. These are denied based on the information, or lack of, provided on the application, not being truthful and our time spent with the potential adopters, talking with them and watching them interact with animals.
Because we are not a no-kill shelter, the first thing people who have been denied say to us is, "You'd rather kill that animal than adopt it to us." No, we would not. We do not want to euthanize any adoptable animal, but neither do we want to put that animal in harm's way by placing it in a home where the care is in question. Or where we think that animal might come back.
By making that extra effort to screen adopters and making every effort to place these animals with responsible, loving pet owners we are also helping with animal control efforts. This will cut down on animals being abused, animals running loose in our communities and animals reproducing and adding to the pet overpopulation problem. Animals cared for and loved tend to not develop aggressive tendencies so they become less of a threat to members of our community.
So please do not be offended when you fill out an application and we ask questions or make phone calls. We simply want these animals to be safe.
A huge thank-you to the students at Eastside Middle School and teachers Rita Walters and Bryan Granger for their fundraiser for the Animal Protection League. Your efforts make a difference in our community.
Maleah Stringer is executive director of the Animal Protection League, 613 Dewey St., Anderson. She can be reached at 356-0900 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

City officials have called a meeting to re-assure residents that the Eastport Community Center is safe after residents raised concerns in the wake of violent incidents.
"The decision to hold [the meeting] at the community center was intentional because the community center is safe," Mayor Josh Cohen said.
The meeting is in response to a series of complaints made by Ward 6 residents who believe the center is not a safe location for them to vote on Nov. 6.
In September, two men were shot near the community center; and in June, Orlando Sherman McDaniel, 29, of Annapolis died as a result of gunshot wounds he suffered in the 1100 block of Madison Street, which is nearby.
No arrests have been made in either case, but police believe the September shooting was not a random event, and said they are hopeful about making an arrest.
Steven Conn, who has spearheaded the campaign to move the polling place, was upset that the meeting to address concerns is being held at the center.
He told Patch that he suspects many people will skip the meeting rather than walk or drive to the 7 p.m. meeting—the crux of the argument to move the location is that the area isn't safe after sunset.
Cohen said he would open his door to anyone who opts out of Tuesday's meeting.
"I'll meet with anybody anytime," Cohen said. "I'll meet them at their house."
Despite recent violence, the crime rate is down from where it was four years ago when voters cast their ballots at the Eastport Community Center for the last presidential election, Detective Amy Miguez told Patch in September.
She said Police Chief Michael Pristoop decided against adding additional officers or stationing a patrol car outside the polling place on Election Day. She added that there is also no history of violence or attacks at the location on Election Day—nor is there a history of attacks at any Annapolis polling location.
Cohen, Alderman Kenneth Kirby (D-6th Ward) and Alderman Ross Arnett (D-8th Ward) will attend the event at the community center at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Police Chief Michael Pristoop and representative from the Annapolis Housing Authority will also be in attendance.
"I recognize that there is a stigma around it due to cultural differences about public housing," Cohen said. "The best way to address that stigma is to open up the doors and invite people in."

Obviously a Homer Bias here but I think we can also look objectively at the various Awards and See why Several Broncos are deserving;
MVP: PFM...So cliche' but each Player to a Man has remarked how his work habits & preparation have effected them...He really does raise all the boats. Not to mention, he's having a tremendous year with one game to go. We know that DT, Decker, Tamme, Stokely, & Dreessen are better this year because of PFM
Comeback POY: PFM...He was out a whole year and spent countless hours in re-hab ( still continuing ) to regenerate a nerve that controls his arm/throwing motion. I know the arguements for Peterson, and the Season he's having is remarkable given his injury, but he didn't miss an entire season and imagine if he to rehab a nerve that made his legs work.
Defensive POY: Von Miller wins this based on his total body of work, not just sack #s. I don't think any team can boast or promote a player like Von...Take into account his TFL, QB hits/pressures, FF, Sacks, his pick-six, and overall disruption, I think Von should win this easily.
Coach of the Year: John Fox...I see alot of Chuck Noll influence in Fox in his no nonsense approach, though Coach Fox is more personable towards the Players. He's assembled a great staff, got them all on the same page and kept them & the Players focused on what needs to be done to get better. If we go 13-3, which we should, this will have been one of the greatest runs in Bronco History.
If there were an Award for Defensive COY: Del Rio, hands down! 7th DC in as many years and they are playing lights out. I really thought we were in big trouble when Ty Warren went down in the 1st Qrtr. of the 1st Game against the Steelers...He got Big Vick, Bannon, Unrein, Wolfe, Ayers & Doom playing beyond what I thought was possible...Kudos to him and DL Coach Rogers. We know that we are improving with each week and JDR can make adjustments during the game when needed...We are better at Nickel/Dime than we were last year and have some Coached-Up Young Turks who will go make a play...I have relatively new players like Harris & Moore in mind along with Rookies Trevathan & Wolfe who have all been big contributors to the scheme that Del Rio is running. He also has Carter fitting nicely into his scheme. One aspect that has really stood out, is that we now have Players swarming to the ball...Something I haven't seen for quite some time...Great Overall Team Effort!
GM/Exec of the Year: John Elway...Brought in PFM & traded Tebow which was a huge and very Ballsy move on one hand and a no brainer on the other. He also brought in FAs: Tamme, Dreessen, Stokes, Koppen, Adams & Porter; Drafted: Wolfe, Trevathan, & Hillman, who all have significant playing time as well as Bolden who we saw much more this last week when Porter went down. Os & Clarke are development Players

Beloved movie critic speaks at conference about challenge of literally finding a new voice after surgeries took his real one away
Speaking through his wife, two colleagues and a computer program named Alex, film critic Roger Ebert told a packed house in Long Beach today about his harrowing battle with thyroid cancer and the technology that has since helped him regain his voice.
"For most of my life I never gave a second thought to my ability to speak. It was like breathing," Ebert told the TED2011 Conference through "Alex," a voice synthesizer that comes as standard equipment on Apple's Macintosh computers. "In those days I was living in a fool's paradise. After surgeries for cancer took away my ability to speak, I was forced to enter this virtual world in which a computer did some of my living for me."
Ebert, the longtime columnist for the Chicago Sun Times and co-creator of a series of thumbs-up/thumbs-down movie review television programs that he co-hosted for 30 years on PBS and in syndication, began his presentation with a clip from the classic Stanley Kubrick film "2001: A Space Odyssey." In the clip, the computer HAL, which like Ebert came from Urbana, Illinois, protests weakly as astronaut Dave Bowman dismantles it: "I'm afraid, Dave. My mind is going…"
Ebert clearly dealt with similar fears himself after he left the air in 2006 with a recurrence of salivary cancer and ended up enduring seven life-threatening operations on his carotid artery that kept him in the hospital for a year and left him literally speechless. He said if he hadn't still been in the presence of his doctors when the carotid first ruptured — he was playing them Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man" on his iPod prior to checking out — he almost certainly would have died.
In the months that followed, Ebert grew frustrated as he explored different ways to communicate. He sent many hours of his recorded voice to a Scottish company, which developed a computerized speech program from it, but Ebert ultimately found it to be stilted and unnatural. "I felt like the hero of that Harlan Ellison story titled 'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream,'" he said.
Since then, he began using "Alex," which approximates his old timing and rhythms. He demonstrated by having Alex tell an old Henny Youngman joke, which got a big laugh from the crowd.
Since losing his physical voice, Ebert has become an even stronger presence than ever in the virtual world. "I've been able to find out what the buzzwords 'social network' really mean," he said. I cannot speak; I can only type so fast, but with my computer, I can communicate as well as ever before. Online, everybody speaks at the same speed."

It's been a rough couple of months at NRG.Since this spring the Hinesburg company that makes wind power measurement devices, was forced to layoff more than 30 workers -- almost a third of its workforce. For CEO Jan Blittersdorf, who's been with the company in one form or another since its inception 30 years ago, its been a trying time. "We've had a pretty good 30 year run of steady growth, steady employment growth and it was just heart breaking, frankly, to have to change course and lay people off," she said.When the great recession hit in 2008, sales plummeted. Since then the company has fought back, refining its wind measurement devices, and last year introducing a new line of solar measurement tools. But the potential expiration of the Production Tax Credit remains a major hurdle. The federal incentive set to expire at the end of this year has played a pivotal role in the development of wind farms in Vermont and around the country. But with its renewal stalled in Congress, it has left wind manufacturers guessing. "If you're a developer, and again we serve developers, your not going to start a project if you have no idea what going to happen down the pike," Blittersdorf said.Despite the challenges, Blittersdorf has taken a two tier approach to stay competitive--diversifying the product line to sensors that monitor turbine health. "Our system not only tells you how its operating today, it also helps you predict the maintenance that you might needgoing forward," she said.The company is even branching out to solar power assessment devices that measure if a site is suitable for a solar farm. Unlike other domestic wind power companies that are hobbled by shipping large parts like turbines and blades, Blittersdorf said, NRG's product line is nimble enough to reach an emerging international market -- places like Africa and South America. "The hope for us is in a couple of things -- we're an exporter. We export to over 150 countries and we have been exporting since the 1980s, so we know how to do it," Blittersdorf said.Experts say in the long run, NRG and others in the industry should be able to weather the current downturn no matter what happens in Washington. "These tax credits come and go all the time," said Gary Flomenhoft, a Fellow at The University of Vermont's Gund Institute. "It's a global industry and companies that are international, only a small part of their business is in the United States, so they can ride out their ups and downs I think -- some companies better than others.""The way I look at it now, for a period of time, until this uncertainty passes, we're going to be smaller and stronger -- and we've done the work we needed to do as hard as it was, as heartbreaking as it was -- to get there and we're definitely at a more stable place," Blittersdorf said.Despite uncertain economic times in the industry, NRG has its finger to the wind.

7 Solutions That Can Save a Relationship
Relationship Problem: Conflict
Occasional conflict is a part of life, according to New York-based psychologist Susan Silverman. But if you and your partner feel like you're starring in your own nightmare version of the movie Groundhog Day -- i.e. the same lousy situations keep repeating day after day -- it's time to break free of this toxic routine. When you make the effort, you can lessen the anger and take a calm look at underlying issues.
Problem-solving strategies:
You and your partner can learn to argue in a more civil, helpful manner, Silverman says. Make these strategies part of who you are in this relationship.
- Realize you are not a victim. It is your choice whether you react and how you react.
- Be honest with yourself. When you're in the midst of an argument, are your comments geared toward resolving the conflict, or are you looking for payback? If your comments are blaming and hurtful, it's best to take a deep breath and change your strategy.
- Change it up. If you continue to respond in the way that's brought you pain and unhappiness in the past, you can't expect a different result this time. Just one little shift can make a big difference. If you usually jump right in to defend yourself before your partner is finished speaking, hold off for a few moments. You'll be surprised at how such a small shift in tempo can change the whole tone of an argument.
- Give a little; get a lot. Apologize when you're wrong. Sure it's tough, but just try it and watch something wonderful happen.
"You can't control anyone else's behavior," Silverman says. "The only one in your charge is you."
Relationship Problem: Trust
Trust is a key part of a relationship. Do you see certain things that cause you not to trust your partner? Or do you have unresolved issues that prevent you from trusting others?
Problem-solving strategies:
You and your partner can develop trust in each other by following these tips, Fay says.
- Be consistent.
- Be on time.
- Do what you say you will do.
- Don't lie -- not even little white lies to your partner or to others.
- Be fair, even in an argument.
- Be sensitive to the other's feelings. You can still disagree, but don't discount how your partner is feeling.
- Call when you say you will.
- Call to say you'll be home late.
- Carry your fair share of the workload.
- Don't overreact when things go wrong.
- Never say things you can't take back.
- Don't dig up old wounds.
- Respect your partner's boundaries.
- Don't be jealous.
- Be a good listener.
Even though there are always going to be problems in a relationship, Sherman says you both can do things to minimize marriage problems, if not avoid them altogether.
