Vélo Duo offers a free, accompanied bike tour for seniors.
Only a few young companies can boast of encouraging school dropouts to return to their studies and at the same help seniors feel less isolated. But Vélo Duo managed to do just that, an inter-generational company that provides free accompanied bike tours to seniors. It will be available in Châteauguay starting the 15th of May. The following is an interview with Denis Desjardins, president and founder of the company.
Mathieu Gohier: Where did you get the idea to start such a company?
Denis Desjardins: Vélo Duo was inspired by several ideas. First, there was the need to make seniors feel less isolated socially by having them share their knowledge. People tend to underestimate their knowledge and so their experience unfortunately can't be used to advantage. Then there's the need to fight the phenomenon of school dropouts; one boy out of three does not finish high-school, you know. With Vélo Duo, young dropouts find a summer job and win a $2,000 scholarship by taking seniors on bike rides. The cyclists follow a historical route of the city where they find and complete visits to sites, thanks to the knowledge of their passengers. I, myself, dropped out of school and am very familiar with the obstacles that today's youth must face. With Vélo Duo, both generations come out winners!
MG: The Vélo Duo will come to Châteauguay on the 15th of May; what kind of experience did the other cities have in previous summers?
DD: It must first be understood that the company has been in existence since 2004 and that our historical tour services have been available since summer 2008. This summer, Châteauguay will be the 13th city where Vélo Duo's services will be introduced. Just last summer, no less than 20,000 bike tours were organised in Verchères, St. Lin, and Contrecœur, to name a few. The service is especially popular among senior homes; 620 seniors' residences requested access to the service and the Fédération de l'Âge d'Or du Québec - FADOQ (Golden Age Federation of Quebec) supported us in our efforts.
MG: What was the city's support to your project?
DD: Châteauguay has been our target in the last two years and I must say that the municipality's support was very good. The municipal council unanimously supported us. The MNA for Châteauguay-Saint-Constant, Carole Freeman, also supported our initiative.
MG: If the service is free for seniors, how does Vélo-Duo cover its expenses? Do you receive financial aid?
DD: Vélo Duo is totally private and earns income only from philanthropic advertising. We're maintaining our independence, and thanks to our partners like the Caisses Desjardins and Brunet pharmacies, we manage to cover our expenses.
MG: Vélo Duo is thriving, what are your plans for the future?
DD: Our goal is to serve 40 cities starting next summer, and of course to continue on the path where we have succeeded. Ultimately, my wish is for Vélo Duo to be present in all of Quebec's 202 cities. Each city can benefit from our services because school dropouts and seniors are not the only ones who feel this lack.

Erm, I kind of know, I was being slightly sarcastic ... just slightly though so you shouldn't feel too bad about missing it. I'm sure in another post way into the future someone might be sarcastic, and then you will have a chance to point and say 'Sir, I do believe you are using sarcasm,' thus redeeming yourself. You could be looking at a very long wait though, there's so few sarcastic people on this site. I'll keep an eye out for you though.

Nah, any man and his dog could pull that one off, at least make it challenging for yourself, something probably impossible, like making peanut butter for people allergic to peanuts, or sugar for diabetics, you know ... something completely wacky.

Dr. GEORGE S. BESSER's Ratings
Dr. Besser has been an ideal doctor for me. He has excellent bedside manner and is both very knowledgeable and compassionate. I've never felt rushed during office visits and I've felt that he is without the kind of ego I've witnessed in many doctors and have truly felt that I was in partnership with him in maintaining my health. It is also important to me to have a doctor who is accepting of my choice to periodically use alternative medicines. My health concerns were always taken seriously and supportive care was quickly prescribed. I highly recommend Dr. George Besser.

Ottawa is the capital of Canada and the country's fourth largest municipality, as well as the second largest city in the province of Ontario. It was created in 2001 when the City of Ottawa was amalgamated with the surrounding municipalities that with it comprised the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton. It is located in the Ottawa Valley on the eastern edge of the province of Ontario, 400 kilometres (250 mi) north-east of Toronto and 190 kilometres (120 mi) west of Montreal. Ottawa lies on the banks of the Ottawa River, a major waterway that forms the boundary between Ontario and Quebec.
Ottawa is home to a wealth of national museums, official residences, government buildings, memorials and heritage structures. Federal buildings in the National Capital Region are managed by the Public Works Canada, while most of the federal lands in the Region are managed by the National Capital Commission or NCC.

Hiking along the Solheimajokull glacier requires solid footwear, like the crampons (metal cleats) that UWM trekkers attached to the bottom of their boots.
At the end of this rainbow lies a treasure trove of geologic history, the volcanic fissure at Laki, which released massive amounts of lava and sulfuric gas in 1783-84. Fatalities in Iceland were devastating: 20 percent of the human population and half the nation's livestock. Temperatures plunged worldwide. America's Benjamin Franklin was the first to connect global cold and other catastrophic weather in that period to the Laki eruption.

Everyone on this site knows the Lions' needs, so I'm not going to waste time going over them. Now, there are 3 prospects from the Pac-12 that I think will not only fill those needs, but also provide great value if the Lions can get them where I have them slotted here. The prospects are:
Datone Jones, DE, UCLA (Round 2)
Unless the Lions spend the 5th pick on Jones, this is the only time they can hope to get him. Jones has a low first round grade but many think he could be the most underrated talent in the draft. He's big (6'4", 283 lbs.), quick (his 4.3 20-yard shuttle was tops among defensive linemen at the Combine) and productive (19 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks last year). He's a space-eater who can get to the quarterback by either using his quickness to get around a lineman or plowing over him with his bull rush. He consistently beat consensus top-5 pick Eric Fisher in the Senior Bowl (he was the only one who could).
Robert Woods, WR, USC (Round 3)
Robert Woods is a burner who could be the most NFL-ready skill position player in this year's draft. He's 6'1", 190 lbs. and has fantastic speed. He's as good of a route-runner as you'll find in the draft and isn't afraid to lay out for balls or go over the middle. He has big, reliable hands and solid leaping ability. He could stand to bulk up some and get to a solid 200 lbs. to avoid injury.
Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon (Round 4) *hopeful compensatory pick for Eric Wright*
Barner is exactly what the Lions need in the backfield: a shifty running back with excellent speed and play-making ability. Barner is an explosive back with fantastic hands. In my eyes, he's the draft's top option to replace what Jahvid Best did for the Lions. He's small (5'10", 195 lbs.) but has showed NFL scouts a willingness to block (even though he'll probably never be asked to pass-block in the Lions' offense). That said, he (like Woods) could stand to gain a few pounds to avoid injury.
There are two things that all 3 of these guys have in common that the Lions desperately need: leadership and intelligence. All 3 earned a 3.0 GPA or higher in college and have fantastic football intelligence. Jones was a vocal leader on UCLA's defense and showed up to every Combine interview in a suit (everyone else was in workout clothes) because he wanted to be "the best at everything". As previously stated, Woods puts his body on the line for every catch, and he yells at himself because he believes he should make every play. In other words, he's a fierce competitor. Barner worked his tail off to be Oregon's leading rusher this year when De'Anthony Thomas was stealing a lot of playing time. None of these guys have any reported off-the-field issues whatsoever.
Personally, I want all 3 of them. How about you?

The rather unwieldy name of Heptonia Prima and Heptonia Secunda are given to the various seven-note scales which can be formed using tones and semitones but without two semi-tones appearing in succession. Some are more theoretical than others. They are
Heptonia Prima
Beginning on keynote A and working up the notes of the 'natural minor' scale (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A), the seven modes are:
Aeolian mode (natural minor) t-s-t-t-s-t-t
Locrian mode s-t-t-s-t-t-t
Ionian Mode (major) t-t-s-t-t-t-s
Dorian Mode t-s-t-t-t-s-t
Phrygian Mode s-t-t-t-s-t-t
Lydian Mode t-t-t-s-t-t-s
It may be noted that the Dorian is exactly the same descending as ascending. The less common series is
Heptonia Secunda
The difference between this and the diatonic modes is that they have two and three tones between each semitone, while these latter modes have one and four. These are sometimes called modes of the melodic ascending minor since that is the most commonly used scale of this type, but other modes can be produced by starting on the different scale notes in turn. Thus starting on keynote A as above and following the notes of the ascending melodic minor (A,B,C,D,E,F#,G#) yields these seven modes:
'Melodic ascending minor' t-s-t-t-t-t-s
'Phrygian raised sixth' s-t-t-t-t-s-t combines the Phrygian flat second and Dorian raised sixth
'Lydian raised fifth' t-t-t-t-s-t-s combines the Lydian fourth with a raised fifth
'Acoustic' or 'Lydian-Myxolydian' Scale t-t-t-s-t-s-t So-called because close to the scale built on natural overtones and combines Lydian raised fourth with Myxolydian flat seventh
'Major minor' scale t-t-s-t-s-t-t Like natural minor (aeolian) but with a major third
'Half diminished' or 'Locrian sharp 2' scale t-s-t-s-t-t-t This is like the Locrian with a raised second
'Altered scale' s-t-s-t-t-t-t Like Locrian with flat fourth
These modes are more awkward to use than those of the diatonic scales due to the four tones in a row yielding augmented intervals on one hand while the one tone between two semitones gives rise to diminished intervals on the other. For example, the last two modes listed above both have 'Locrian' diminished triads built on their tonics given them unstable tonality while the fourth mode not only has an augmented fourth a la the Lydian mode but also an augmented fifth making the dominant and subdominant unusable.
The last group of seven note tone/semitone scales are known as Heptonia Tertia and consist of scales with two adjacent semitones which amounts to a whole-tone scale but with an additional note somewhere in its sequence ie b c d e f# g# a#
If the interval of the augmented second is used, many other scales become possible. These include Gypsy I-bII-III-IV-V-bVI-VII Hungarian I-II-bIII-#IV-V-bVI-VII The scales are symmetrical about the tonic and dominant respectively and the names are sometimes used interchangeably.
Phrygian Major or Dominant Harmonic Minor I-bII-III-IV-V-bVI-bVII This differs from the Phrygian in having a major third. It may also be considered to be built on the dominant of the harmonic minor scale.
Harmonic minor I-II-bIII-IV-V-bVI-VII
Major Flat 6 I-II-III-IV-V-bVI-VII
Verdi's Scale Enigmatica I-bII-III-#IV-#V-#VI-#VII ie G Ab B C# D# E# F# which is similar to the Heptonia Tertia mentioned above differing only in that the second degree here is flattened.

2012 brought us more than 50 new studio releases, live albums, and box sets. Already, 2013 is looking like another really good year for new releases from classic rock artists. In January, Steve Lukather. In March, Jimi Hendrix. In April, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. And on dates yet to be announced, Rod Stewart and Elton John.
Jimi Hendrix - 'People, Hell and Angels'
Release date March 5, 2013 The next big thing for Jimi Hendrix devotees is the release of another batch of previously unreleased recordings. Like those in 2010's Valleys of Neptune the tracks on People, Hell and Angels were planned for albums that would have been released in the years following Electric Ladyland. And, like its predecessor, most of the album's songs are not new to Hendrix, having appeared on live albums, or in very different arrangements on previous studio releases. Among the collaborators was Stephen Stills, then a member of Buffalo Springfield. Track List "Earth Blues"
"Hear My Train A Comin'"
"Bleeding Heart"
"Let Me Love You"
"Easy Blues"
"Crash Landing"
"Inside Out"
"Hey Gypsy Boy"
"Mojo Man"
"Villanova Junction Blues"

Deep Purple - (title to be announced)
Release date April 26, 2013 Deep People are getting some promotional mileage out of what the title of their 19th studio album will be. A website devoted to the new release features a countdown to release, and a big question mark in the area where (presumably) the actual title will eventually appear. Says lead vocalist Ian Gillan in a news release, "The title of our new album is still a question mark to all of us... We have recorded a new album, and it's a fantastic collection of songs." The album was recorded in Nashville, produced by Bob Ezrin, whose name you may recognize from Pink Floyd's The Wall and dozens of other albums by other artists of similar stature since the early '70s.
Black Sabbath - (title to be announced)
Release date April 2013 Part of the reunion of most of the four original members of Black Sabbath was the recording a new studio album, now set for release in April, around the time of their first tour of Australia since 1974. The album, as yet untitled, is being produced by Rick Rubin, who you may remember as the producer of ZZ Top's 2012 "comeback" album, La Futura.
Rod Stewart - 'Love the Life You Live' (tentative title)
Release date Spring 2013 Rod Stewart says he's ready to rock again, after a string of recordings of mid-20th century pop standards. Says Stewart to Billboard, "It's all finished, mixed, everything ... just a good, old-fashioned Rod Stewart album (with) a lot of mandolin and acoustic (guitar) and fiddles and good storytelling. The themes are a little more adult now. There's no 'Hot Legs' or 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy.' But they're, I think, songs people can relate to."
Steve Lukather - 'Transition'
Release date January 22, 2013 Between the time Toto broke up (2008) and their re-formation (2010) their guitarist-vocalist, Steve Lukather recorded two albums and toured as a solo act. Now that Toto are back together (their 35th anniversary comes in 2013) Lukather still has time for solo projects. The latest, Transition "is a turning point for the album and a turning point for me," Lukather says. "As we were writing the songs, I was thinking about everything I've seen — all the people I've lost in my life, the great and the difficult experiences I've had, and how ultimately it was time to get it together and embrace things for what they are, because we've only got one life to live and we've got to make the most of it."
Elton John?
T Bone Burnett produced Elton John's 2010 collaboration with Leon Russell, The Union. Now Burnett is producing John's latest, The Diving Board, some of which has been recorded, some still being written. "The first batch of songs went incredibly fast and they were powerful, you know, it was an explosion! So, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. We're gonna record some more songs in January, I think," Burnett tells Rolling Stone.
Fleetwood Mac?
As many times as various Fleetwood Mac alumni have all but sworn a new tour and/or album was coming, only to have to walk their comments back later, it's a bit chancy to include them on the list of 2013 releases. The tour has finally been firmed up. It will hit 34 cities beginning April 4. The set list will contain two new songs, but that may or may not signal that a new album is forthcoming.

Madison (Press Release) - A federal
grand jury in the Western District of Wisconsin, sitting in Madison, returned
the following indictments yesterday. You are advised that a charge is
merely an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless
proven guilty.
Justin J. Waterhouse, 21, of New Auburn, is charged in a
superseding indictment with stealing property of the United States and three
counts of selling property of the United States.
The indictment alleges
that in February 2012, he stole night vision monoculars and gun sights with an
aggregate value in excess of $1,000. The indictment also alleges that on
three occasions between February and April 2012, he sold some of these stolen
items to other individuals.
Waterhouse was
originally charged in an indictment returned by the grand jury on May 30, 2012,
with theft and one count of conveying without authority a thing of value
belonging to the United States. In February 2012, Waterhouse was a member
of the United States Army.
If convicted,
Waterhouse faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison on each count.

Softball announces new stadium improvements for the JU Softball Complex
Related Links
The JU softball program is looking to build on its successful 2010 season in more ways than one as the Dolphins announce new stadium improvements for the JU Softball Complex.
The Dolphins plan to give fans a new way to watch the games with the addition of 80 chair back seats from BleaChair at the JU Softball Complex. Fans can donate to the project and help fill the stadium for a $50 donation.
"We are pleased to start phase two of a three phase process," said director of athletics Alan Verlander. "We completed the first phase with the stadium two seasons ago and now we are adding the chair back seats to enhance the stadium look and experience. The softball team is one of our most improved programs over the last few seasons, so we are committed to enhancing a first-class facility to showcase our team competing for a championship."
After the current phase, the Dolphins will start working towards the final improvements for the stadium which will be a locker and team room by the third base dugout. They will also look to secure naming rights for the stadium as well. Phase three will start once private monies are raised.
"I'm excited to build on our stadium again," said JU head coach Amanda Lehotak. "We gave the stadium a much needed face lift in 2008 with doubling our seating capacity and adding a pressbox. Our goal is the give the fans a great experience of watching softball at our stadium and these seats will help us do that."
On the field, the Dolphins have enjoyed instant success since Lehotak took over the program in 2007. JU has improved its win total each season and battled some of the toughest teams in the nation, including national champion participants Michigan and Florida.
In 2010, JU recorded the second highest win total in program history (33) and the best home record under Lehotak (19-7) to secure the Dolphins second straight A-Sun Tournament berth. The Dolphins set a new single-season record in ERA (2.11), while finishing second on the program list with 329 strikeouts and third in RBI with 175. They also placed a program-best five players on the A-Sun all-conference teams.
For more information on seat donations, fans can contact the JU softball office at 904-256-7298 or email Lehotak at firstname.lastname@example.com.

NOTE: Watch the video first, else it won't make much sense what you see below unless you've seen/memorized this scene of the Avengers.
Putting an MCM Twist on things .........
nolesbroncos3456: What have I to fear?
WinnipegTitanFan13: The MCMers. That's what we call ourselves. Sorta like a team. SBNation's "mightiest posters" type thing.
nolesbroncos3456: Yes, I've met them.
WinnipegTitanFan13: ... Chyeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But, let's do a head-count here .... Your brother, the Dimi-God (Jimmy), a super soldier (gramsey712), a living-legend who kind of lives up to the legend, a man with breath-taking anger-management issues (StPrattrick), a couple of master assassins (August West, Aditya T), and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of em.
nolesbroncos3456: That was the plan.
WinnipegTitanFan13: Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you.
nolesbroncos3456: I have MtD.
WinnipegTitanFan13: We have a Pratt.
nolesbroncos3456: Oh, I thought the Pratt had wandered off.
WinnipegTitanFan13: You're missing the point, there's no GM spot, there is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe MtD comes and maybe it is too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect MCM then you can be damn well sure we'll avenge it.

New Lab for Testing Possibilities of Net-Zero Energy Homes
It looks a lot like many other suburban homes. It's even located in a popular suburban area – Gaithersburg, Maryland, just north of Washington, D.C. But it's really a Recovery-funded laboratory, built specifically to allow researchers to test various high-efficiency and alternative energy systems, materials, and designs that would produce all the energy a residential home would need every day.
Officially called the Net-Zero Residential Test Facility, the recently completed lab will be home to researchers from the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology. Over the course of a year the researchers, simulating a family of four, will test and demonstrate whether a net-zero energy home can fit in just about any neighborhood.
Approximately $2.5 million of Recovery funds paid for construction of the lab, which includes three types of geothermal systems so they can be evaluated in the same climate and soil types, and multiple ducting systems. Elaborate safety systems are also included, as they would be in any other lab.
The goal is to identify existing and new energy technologies that work best and most affordably in a home-environment.
Photo of the Week – Cleanup of SRS K Cooling Tower
SRS Recovery Act Update: SRS Recovery Act workers use heavy equipment to remove the rubble of K Cooling Tower while sorting more than 800 tons of reinforced steel for recycling.
One of the most visual milestones of cleanup projects underway within the Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management was the demolition of the K-Reactor Cooling Tower at the Savannah River Site (SRS).
Now, this American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project has been completed one month ahead of schedule, with debris from the implosion safely hauled away and deposited in an on-site landfill. With project completion, a great safety achievement was realized.
To complete the project, more than 800 tons of reinforced steel from the structure were sent to a local scrap metal recycler. This recycling effort also helped to stimulate the local economy beyond the SRS Recovery Act Project.

Nine Million Smart Meters Installed Nationwide
As part of the Department of Energy's Recovery-funded efforts to accelerate the modernization of the country's electric grid, approximately 9 million smart meters have already been installed in homes and businesses nationwide. Ultimately, DOE's goal is to have 15.5 million installed.
Smart meters are available at no charge to home or business owners through participating utility companies except in states where a small Public Utility Commission-mandated fee applies. Contact your electricity provider for details.
Smart meters give consumers access to near real-time information about their energy consumption, allowing them to make better-informed decisions about their use of electricity. The meters also provide utility companies with greater information about how much electricity is being used. Smart meters are just one among many advanced technologies used by utilities to sense, monitor, control and automate the distribution of electricity, collect and exchange usage information with customers, manage power loads more efficiently and reduce cost.
While smart meters have been deployed in every state, nearly 90 percent of those installed to date are in Florida, Texas, California, Idaho, Arizona, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Nevada.
For more information about DOE's smart grid activities visit the Smart Grid Website.
Photo of the Week – SRS P Reactor Sealing
Marc Sharpe, who was a senior reactor operator at P Reactor in the mid-1980s, carries a time capsule containing items that reveal Site and national current events into P Reactor. Dr. David Moody, U.S. Department of Energy-Savannah River Operation Office Manager, is walking behind him.
With investments from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the U.S. Department of Energy and Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC, (SRNS) sealed the access to the historic P and R Reactors as part of footprint reduction and legacy cleanup at the Savannah River Site.
At P Reactor today, Dr. David Moody, DOE's Savannah River Operations Office Manager and Marc Sharpe, a reactor operator at P Reactor in the 1980s, were the last people to exit the P Reactor before its final opening was welded shut.
"The Recovery Act enabled us to accomplish a remarkable feat," Dr. Moody said. "In just two years we successfully and safely delivered a fitting end to these relics that led our nation to a Cold War victory. For that we are proud."
"P and R Reactors have been instrumental to SRS's history for nearly 60 years. The Recovery Act provided the means to showcase proven and emerging technologies and to use the talents of our dedicated workforce," said Garry Flowers, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions president and chief executive officer. "Sealing access to P and R Reactors is perhaps the most visible milestone reached as work continues to complete closure of the P and R Area Operable Units, rendering the availability of both areas for future new missions."
Inside the P Reactor's opening, Dr. Moody and Mr. Sharpe placed a time capsule, about the size of a 5-gallon paint bucket, containing items that depict both the history of SRS, as well as items that show current events in the region and the nation.
In addition to the Record of Decision (ROD) issued by DOE, the Environmental Protection Agency (Region IV), and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control which initiated the reactor decommissioning project, other materials included a copy of People Magazine on the Royal Wedding and other news items.
During his 30-year career at SRS, Marc Sharpe, was a reactor operator at P Reactor. He sat in the "pot," a term reactor operators used to describe the control room. In the late 80s, Mr. Sharpe helped with its shut down. And this morning, he walked away from the reactor he helped deactivate and decommission.
Recovery Act funds were used to deactivate and perform in situ, or in place, decommissioning of these two reactors. The underground areas and vessels of both reactors were grouted in place to 0-foot elevation with an estimated 260,000 cubic yards of concrete grout. The two structures are expected to stay in their present state for 1,400 years.
Notable projects that contributed to the closure of the P & R areas include: deactivation and decommissioning (D&D) of P and R Reactors; soil and groundwater remediation, building and operation of the Batch Plant Facility to produce the special concrete used in reactor grouting; and the remediation of P and R Area Ash basins, which received coal-fired power plant ash and waste during the operation of the reactors.
P Reactor boasted a record of never having a lost-time injury from the time it reached criticality in 1954 until it was shut down in 1988. R Reactor was the first fully functioning reactor at the Site. It became operational in 1953 and was shut down in 1964 when it was no longer needed for the nation's defense.

Department of Energy Completes Five ARRA Projects
The Department of Energy's Environmental Management program recently completed five ARRA-funded projects at the Oak Ridge site.
The projects included: expansion of 2 landfills at the Oak Ridge Reservation, a 385,000 cubic yard expansion of the Sanitary Landfill (a designated area for non-hazardous waste), and the addition of another disposal cell with a capacity of 465,000 cubic yards. The expansion allows for the local disposal of waste generated by environmental cleanup initiatives, eliminating costly shipping expenses.
Pre-demolition and demolition projects at the East Tennessee Technology Park and the Y-12 National Security complex were also recently completed.
Read more about the completion of these Recovery Act projects on the Department of Energy's website.

The latest winter storm wasn't anything to write home about in northwest Ohio and in southeast Michigan. However, it was just enough to end the record streak of snowless days. The last measurable snowfall was on March 5th. Even though most folks didn't wake up to snow accumulation in the Toledo metro area, the Toledo Express airport did report 6/10" of an inch and that should stand as the official snow data for the day.
The highest snow totals in the area came from the Ottawa, Paulding and Lima where totals were between 1-1.5". Wind gusts were between 40 to 50 mph across the viewing area.
Storm could hit North Carolina later this week.

I ran across these the other day and found them on-point in the discussion about the Panthers ability to nail their draft picks. Walter Football re-mocked the 2002 to 2005 drafts and I found the Panthers selections very interesting. If you want proof the Panthers draft well then check the 2005 results, where they have the Panthers taking...
WalterFootball.com: 2005 NFL Draft Re-Mock
Carolina Panthers: Thomas Davis, OLB, Georgia
Actual 2005 NFL Draft Pick: Thomas Davis, OLB
My 2005 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Jammal Brown, OT
I'd say the Thomas Davis pick worked out pretty well for the Panthers. Let's keep it that way.
Yes it did work out pretty well... So did this one, in which he gives a player we got in the 3rd round!
WalterFootball.com: 2004 NFL Draft Re-Mock: Picks 17-32
Carolina Panthers: Travelle Wharton, G, South Carolina
Actual 2004 NFL Draft Pick: Chris Gamble, CB
My 2004 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Matt Ware, S/CB
This is the penultimate pick of the 2004 NFL Draft Re-Mock, so I have to mention that I lost Picks 17-32 of the original version. I had to do the bottom half of this re-mock all over again, which was a pain in the a**. So just let me mock current guard Travelle Wharton to the Panthers and let me be.
I still think the Chris Gamble pick was a good one...Oh, now this next one is juicy. I like Jordan Gross but if we had instead drafted...
WalterFootball.com: 2003 NFL Draft Re-Mock
Carolina Panthers: Troy Polamalu, SS, USC
Actual 2003 NFL Draft Pick: Jordan Gross, OT
My 2003 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Marcus Trufant
CB Mike "After Dinner" Minter was a solid player for the Panthers, but perhaps they would have stopped Tom Brady on one of those second-half drives in the Super Bowl with Troy Polamalu in the defensive backfield.
Imagine Troy P in our secondary all these years. Point is we still drafted a Pro Bowler....The 2002 one is another one I would love to have back:
WalterFootball.com: 2002 NFL Draft Re-Mock
Carolina Panthers: Dwight Freeney, DE, Syracuse
Actual 2002 NFL Draft Pick: Julius Peppers, DE
My 2002 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Julius Peppers, DE Needs: QB, OT, DE, RB, CB, OG, LB
Same position, different player. This Carolina Panther team had a ton of holes, including the defensive end position. Mike Rucker had nine sacks in 2001, but no other player had more than four. Dwight Freeney registered double-digit sacks in his first four seasons in the NFL.
Freeney instead of Pep? Who's with me?
We do not have a single wasted, early round pick over the four year period. I love it!

A check with the NYC DEP Web site shows that current reservoir levels are as follows: Pepacton, 98.3 percent capacity; Cannonsville, 99.3 percent (no longer spilling – which is good news for West Branch anglers); Schoharie, 90.3 percent capacity; Ashokan, 94.6 percent; Rondout, 96.3 percent; and Neversink, 98.1 percent.
Reservoir levels (as of March 27) were as follows: Pepacton Reservoir, 96.3 percent capacity of 140.2 billion gallons; Ashokan Reservoir, 90.5 percent capacity of 122.9 billion gallons; Cannonsville Reservoir, 100.3 percent capacity of 95.7 billion gallons. West Branch Delaware River anglers will need to take care while wading, as Cannonsville is currently spilling.
Opening Day Outlook
Opening day, Wednesday, April 1, of the trout-fishing season here in the Catskill Mountain region looks promising! Despite a very (almost record-breaking) cold and snowy winter, we dodged a bullet in seeing the snow melt gradually, without the torrential rains that could have brought about massive flooding.
Sonny Somelofski of the Tremperskill Country Store reports that he saw a nice fish on Saturday. It was caught by Skip Vezetti who summers in Andes. The trout was 24 inches long and probably weighed about six pounds. Skip was fishing from shore with sawbelly, "right on the bottom" when the fish took.
The month of August has been pretty slow so far for trout fishermen, at least in the Pepacton Reservoir. Neither Al Carpenter of Al's Sports Store in Downsville or Sonny Somelofski of the Tremperskill Country Store weighed in a trout over the past week. Reservoir fishermen will be happy to learn that Cat Hollow, which has been closed since the flood of July 23, reopened Saturday.
The results of the Pepacton Trout Derby are in! Sponsored by Al Carpenter of Al's Sports Store in Downsville, the July Derby was a great success and brought in some nice entries. The winning fish was caught by Joe Lacomis, from Pennsylvania. Joe bagged a brown trout that weighed 13 pounds, nine ounces, and measured 29 inches in length.
Mike Cornwell of Al's Sports Store in Downsville reported Monday that fishing in the Pepacton Reservoir this past week has been productive. There are two new leaders in the Pepacton Trout Derby as of Monday. In first place is Joe Lacomis of New Jersey who caught a 13-pound, 9-ounce brown that measured 29 inches in length. The big fish was caught on a sawbelly. Currently holding the second place spot is Al Lutkins, also from New Jersey, with a 12-pound, six-ounce brown trout that measured just 28 inches. Moving into third place is another New Jersey fisherman, Mike Fulton, with his 11-pound, 14-ounce brown trout that measured 28 inches in length.
Dave Budin of Del Sports in Margaretville said it was a great weekend, capped off by the wonderful fireworks display at the Margaretville Fire Department's annual Field Days. Del Sports was also very busy on Independence Day, with standing room only in the store.
The first official week of summer has come and gone and it left wonderful memories, not only for the great fishing over the past week or so, but also for our family with the marriage of our son Lee to his beautiful bride, Natasha. The wedding took place on the grounds of the Catskill Fly Fishing Center on June 21. It was a perfect evening, the longest of the year, and was a great way to celebrate!
Just as we had hoped, the first week in June was a great one for trout fishing. The East Branch of the Delaware below the dam, the lower Beaverkill, and the Esopus all produced hatches of Green Drakes and Coffin Fly spinners. Green Drake are much-beloved by fly-fishers, as these very large, size #10 light-colored mayflies with the greenish tinge tend to bring up the biggest fish to feed off the surface; the Coffin Fly is the spinner phase of the Green Drake. In addition to these hatches, Sulphurs, Caddis and Gray Foxes were still around, along with the beginnings of the Isonychia hatch.

Rhode Island Travel Guide
The small state of Rhode Island packs a big punch when it comes to vacations. Once you start to discover the variety of Rhode Island attractions, you might just be surprised that you hadn't been lured to this state before! Plant your umbrella somewhere along 400 miles of coastline or head to Newport for a classic summer sailing experience.
Rhode Island rentals have been a fashionable choice for decades, and this tradition continues through today. If you can picture yourself sipping a cup of morning coffee on the terrace of your own beach villa, than let VacationRentals.com tempt you with some options. For a quintessential family summer vacation, look no further than Rhode Island.
What to Do in Rhode Island
Sun, Surf & Sand
It is difficult for most beach-lovers to believe that there is indeed over 400 miles of coastline packed into teeny Rhode Island. You will have over 100 beaches to choose from during your vacation, but no matter where you choose, your trip will be accompanied by the cool sea breezes and warm sunshine. Families with small kids should choose the beaches of Narragansett Bay where the surf is especially mild. Bring your childhood beach memories to life with the pristine beaches of Rhode Island. Whether you fall asleep listening to the sound of the gentle waves or take the time to build a sandcastle with your kids, your trip to Rhode Island will leave you feeling relaxed. Other great beach activities include beachcombing for shells, getting into the water with a boogie board, and even surfing.
Rhode Island rentals will be spread across many beaches. South County is known for its beautiful beaches, including Atlantic Beach Park, Charleston Breachway State Beach, and South Kingston Town Beach. Other areas of the state boast excellent beaches as well, including King Park in Newport County, and Mansion Beach in Block Island.
Rhode Island for Families
It should come as no surprise to anyone who has stepped foot in the state that some of the top Rhode Island attractions are on the water. Fishing is an important pastime in this state, and families will love chartering a boat and trying their luck. Saltwater fishing is considered an important sport in Rhode Island, and if you think fishing is boring, you will be proven wrong with the first catch of a giant marlin or swordfish! If you would rather try freshwater fishing, this is available across the state as well. Spring, summer, and autumn is the best time for trout fishing in rivers like the Pawcatuck River. Some visitors would rather take in the sights on the boat instead of fishing. For a hassle-free day of family fun, book a small boat for your family with a package deal that includes food, drinks, and a guide.
Charter companies also offer one of the most popular Rhode Island attractions: whale watching tours. Head out on the water for a half day or a full day on the water and if you're lucky you might see humpback, finback, or minke whales. Don't take your eyes off the water—you might also encounter sharks, sea turtles, and giant sun fish on your tour.
There are plenty of adventures for families not on the water as well. The Museum of Natural History is a great choice for a rainy day while the Roger Williams Park Zoo is always a favorite with kids. For kids under the age of 11, a visit to the Providence Children's Museum promises to be a hands-on experience. Sports fans will like the International Tennis Hall of Fame while animal lovers will enjoy visiting a working farm such as Casey Farm, dating back to 1750.
Rhode Island for Lovers
Couples will find many excuses to sneak a kiss or two during a trip to this northeastern state. Beyond the romance of Rhode Island restaurants, there are many excursions and activities that will send sparks flying in your relationship. Head for the sailing capital of the world, Newport, for a romantic sunset sail. Pack along a bottle of champagne and some strawberries and you can pretend it's your honeymoon all over again.
Let the landscape set the mood during your vacation. Beyond charming Rhode Island rentals, there are many special places to visit that will allow you to reconnect with your sweetheart. Wake up early and go for a stroll by a historic lighthouse as the sun rises, paddle your kayaks out onto Narrangsett Bay, or watch seals basking on the rocks. Adventurous couples might want to plan a parasailing adventure together or spend a day together on one of the many golf courses.
Another romantic landscape is Rhode Island wineries and vineyards. Spend a day touring Newport County and visit Greenvale Vineyards in Portsmouth, Newport Vineyards and Winery, and Sakonnet Vineyards. After sampling local wines, keep your eye out for them on the menu at Rhode Island restaurants or bring a few bottles home to remember your trip! Another way to unwind together is with a spa treatment or two. Let the Jacuzzi or a massage sooth away your worries.
The Simple Pleasures of Rhode Island
Some of the best Rhode Island attractions are the simplest. Beyond the pleasures of the beaches and boat tours, there are many state parks and nature trails to be enjoyed. Whether you want to set out on a hike or pack along the binoculars for some bird watching, Rhode Island has a trail for you. The Coastal Nature Trail in South County will wind along the coastline revealing historic lighthouses and amazing sea views. You'll also pass through a conservation area that is known for migrating birds. Rhode Island has developed other nature trails as well including a Bird Watchers Nature Trail, Garden Nature Trail, and Hiking Nature Trail.
Outdoor enthusiasts might have a hard time just relaxing on the beach in Rhode Island. Cycling is a popular activity, and East Bay has a beautiful coastal bikeway where you can combine exercise and sightseeing. If you like history, the mansions of the Gilded Age in Newport will be a thrill. Some of the top Rhode Island restaurants are located in Providence while the unspoiled landscapes of Block Island might entice you into spending an entire day doing nothing at all!
What to See in Rhode Island
History & Heritage
You might be tempted to only leave Rhode Island rentals for a lazy day at the beach. However, there are many attractions that are worth discovering and will give you a better sense of the history and character of this small New England State. Visit 17th century colonial houses, treat your kids to a visit to the Maritime Museum, or visit one of the numerous art galleries to see work by local and international artists.
Some of the best kept secrets of Rhode Island attractions are specialized tours. Take a ride on the Newport Dinner Train or the Newport Scenic Railway, learn about a fascinating time in history with the Viking Tours of Newport, hop aboard a Trolley Tour in Providence, or take a stroll through Providence with Rhode Island Market Tours. Each of these options will give you the opportunity to meet a local guide with an expertise in one area of history and heritage.
Culture & Nightlife
Who says that your Rhode Island fun has to finish when the sun goes down? There are many ways to enjoy the evenings of your vacation, whether you're traveling as a family or as a couple. The performing arts maintains Rhode Island's reputation as a center for theater and dance, including the award-winning performances at the Rhode Island Theater.
If you're looking for something a little less serious, purchase tickets for spectator sports instead. From hockey to basketball, both professional and college sports are on offer year round in Rhode Island. Other forms of nightlife include an IMAX theater in Providence, Catch a Rising Star Comedy Club in Lincoln, or a variety of nightclubs and bars throughout the state.
Where to Shop and Eat in Rhode Island
The Best Sunblock: A Day of Shopping
True shoppers won't let the sun, sand, or surf of Rhode Island distract them from the outlet malls, boutique stores, or special sales that are on offer here every day. North Kingston is home to Wickford Village, a favorite for browsing through antiques, unique gifts, and home décor. With more than 60 antique shops packed into Providence, the antique enthusiast won't know where to begin!
If you have fashion on the mind, the malls of Rhode Island won't disappoint. Providence Place Mall, Warwick Mall, Lincoln Mall, and Garden City are all Rhode Island attractions in their own right. If you're looking for outlets, set your GPS for Blackstone Valley. Here you will find not only discounts on designer clothing, but also on furniture, jewelry, and various home goods.
Classic Flavors
The beaches, boat tours, and bike rides may have initially drawn visitors to this state, but it is Rhode Island restaurants that keep them coming back year after year! Somehow this small state has developed a big international reputation for the quality of cuisine it serves up. From the freshest seafood to creative presentations, you will definitely wipe your plate clean every night!
Chances are if you're interested in food, you may have heard of some of the chefs cooking up a storm nightly in Rhode Island. Some of the restaurants that have recently been causing a stir on the food scene include Rue de L' Espoir, Boathouse Restaurant, Smokehouse Café, The Mooring, 22 Bowens, and Fluke Wine Bar & Kitchen. Each year there is a hot newcomer on the culinary stage as well, so be sure to ask around or read the local papers for up-to-date reviews.
When to Visit Rhode Island
The most popular time for Rhode Island rentals is the summer. The classic Rhode Island summer vacation includes a vacation rental on the beach, barbecues in the evening, and sailing during the day. For this reason, you will want to book Rhode Island rentals as far in advance as possible, especially during the season when schools are closed. On the other hand, if you aren't tied to school schedules and are looking to travel on a budget the shoulder season is a wonderful time to visit. Crowds will be smaller, temperatures will be pleasant, and it will still be possible to enjoy all of the best local activities.
What to Bring to Rhode Island
A Rhode Island vacation is all about classic American style. Bring along pieces that you would want to go sailing with, including crisp white pants, nautical stripes, and don't forget a hat to block the sun. If you're traveling during the summer, beach essentials include a bathing suit, straw beach bag, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Pack along some entertainment for kids on the beach, including a boogie board or two and equipment for building a sand castle.
Local Services in Rhode Island
Rhode Island restaurants and other local services all contribute to the pleasure of these summer getaways. You will be able to rely on locals for advice on where to find the best produce and most affordable prices. Banks, grocery stores, and post offices all operate under normal business hours—but be aware that they may have limited hours during the off season.
What to Know About Rhode Island
Rhode Island is praised for its laid-back vibe. This means that you can take your vacation day by day, never making reservations in advance. It won't be necessary to arrange for your fishing charter three months in advance, but you might want to make dinner reservations (especially for a Saturday night in the summer) a few days beforehand. To experience Rhode Island at its most pristine, wake up early one day and go for a stroll on the beach at dawn.
Getting to Rhode Island
One of the attractive qualities about the beaches of Rhode Island is the close proximity to many areas of the northeast. For this reason, many visitors arrive by their own cars. Rhode Island is bordered by Connecticut and Massachusetts, and is easily accessible from New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and more. If you choose to arrive by air, Providence Airport is the largest in the state, and it is possible to rent a car from there.
Why Rhode Island vacation rentals?
A day at the beach in Rhode Island just wouldn't be complete without waking up at a vacation rental. Enjoy breakfast and coffee on your own balcony without changing out of your pajamas and pack a picnic for your family to enjoy on a hike or on the beach. Hotels just can't provide the same privacy, and it wouldn't feel like a summer beach vacation waking up at a crowded hotel anyway. Once you try vacation rentals, you'll never go back!

Conservative Christians in America can exhibit a strange obsession with fetuses. They appear to be willing to sacrifice any level of women's personal autonomy and civil rights in the "interests" of the fetus, even though similar measures would not be taken to protect the interests of a fully-grown and conscious adult human in analogous circumstances. Perhaps this is because their agenda is less about the alleged interests of the fetus and more about promoting a patriarchal culture where women are kept subordinate.
It would be unusual, if not impossible, for people to adopt political positions in isolation, which is to say without those positions being interdependent with a variety of other political positions. Even if this might be true with a few individuals, it's not true of entire political movements. Attempts to explain or understand the anti-choice movement in America requires us to therefore take into consideration positions on contraception, feminism, marriage equality, rape, women in the workforce, religious dogmas on the roles of women, welfare spending, education policies, and so forth.
In Sacred Choices: The Right to Contraception and Abortion in Ten World Religions, Daniel C. Maguire writes:
There is ample reason to say that this newborn love of fetuses is but a cover for the patriarchal fear of the free woman who is appearing in our day. Can we really believe that patriarchal Catholics, patriarchal Protestants, and patriarchal Muslims, after centuries of warring with one another, are suddenly and stunningly bonded by fetus-love? [...]
What lurks beneath family value rhetoric on the right -- among Protestants and Catholics -- is a kind of sweet love ethic that loses sight of social justice and the needs of the common good. This makes the right the darling of the harsher modes of capitalism. The suppression of social conscience and concern for the poor that is masked by family value piety, really intends, in [Beverly] Harrison's [former professor of Christian Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York] view, "to make Christianity the 'handmaiden' of 'the Market God' who brooks no rivals."
So-called "family values" are really the faith-based "values" of rigidly defined gender roles — not just in the family, but also in the workplace, politics, culture, and society generally. These are the "values" of white, Christian men retaining public positions of privilege, power, and dominance while women are relegated to more private and hidden positions where whatever "power" or "skills" they are allowed to exercise are automatically devalued. No matter how much some may protest that the role of housewife and mother are critical for the future of society, for example, men who choose to adopt such roles are derided and their masculinity is questioned.
Glorifying the fetus is an effective tactic in promoting a patriarchal agenda because it allows people to subordinate women's autonomy and civil rights without admitting that that's what they are doing. They can claim altruistic motives on behalf of the fetus in a manner that is analogous to how more general civil rights are narrowed on the basis of calls to "protect the children" from some amorphous threat. So long as somewhere, somehow, some child may be threatened, it's acceptable for the basic liberties and civil rights of everyone to be constrained.
In both cases, it is clear that concern for the children or the fetuses isn't really motivating them because all their "concern" seems to end once we stop talking about limiting the rights of others as part of the protection efforts. If you try to turn the conversation towards increased food assistance, better education, environmental cleanups, and so forth, suddenly you're a socialist who is trying to inappropriately infringe on the economic liberties of the wealthy.
This is also why contraception is becoming a focus of concern by the same people: contraception allows women to avoid becoming pregnant and thereby becoming subject to fetus-based restrictions on female autonomy. A woman who chooses when and if she becomes pregnant is a woman exercising personal autonomy and personal choices, precisely what theses religious conservatives oppose. No fetus even exists yet, so obviously the opposition to contraception isn't motivated by a desire to defend one. Instead, it's motivated by a desire to create more fetuses and thus create more situations where women can be denied the ability to exercise personal autonomy.
It's not just female autonomy that is targeted by religious conservatives,. All autonomy is subject to attack because personal, human autonomy means having the ability to act contrary to the will of God. Autonomy is simply another label for blasphemy and apostasy as far as some Christian Nationalists are concerned. It's not a coincidence that the most frequent targets of censorship or other restrictions on civil liberties are also often the ones which create the most consternation for devout religious believers.
It's theoretically possible to favor criminalizing abortions while opposing the establishment of a stronger faith-based patriarchy throughout politics and culture, but working for the former in today's political context means helping people who are working for the latter. It's a bit like someone favoring a national fingerprint and DNA database of all citizens while opposing the establishment of a fascist or dictatorial government. Sure, it's theoretically possible, but even in the current climate supporting the former means making the latter much more likely; in a climate where there is a large, powerful political movement trying to achieve the latter, no one pushing the former could legitimately feign ignorance or innocence.
So regardless of how strongly they protest their opposition to patriarchy and faith-based oppression of women, anyone who supports restrictions on or the criminalization of abortion is objectively aiding and abetting precisely those goals. Politically speaking, what's the difference between them and someone who does indeed actively desire those goals?

The first structural beams for the new Joplin High School were dropped into place Wednesday morning.
With the rising of the sun the structural steel beams began to go up on the three story classroom buildings. Universal Construction crews are starting early and working late to keep the project on schedule.
Officials say lots of work on utilities and footings has been done underground but the beams allow the community to see progress on what the superintendent calls the hub of the community.
Crews started with beams in the center of the three story school because those will require the most finishing work.
The beams span from the first floor to the "roof line" at the top. Behind the beams the concrete sections are part of the retaining wall for the first floor elevation of the building.
The school board president and superintendent watched with pride as a crane moved the beams into place saying it's a big step in the process.
"We're just really excited about the progress we're making as a school district and as a community as a whole," says Joplin Schools Superintendent CJ Huff. "This is one more sign of our rebuilding efforts. I think it does a community good to see. Joplin High School in and of itself has always been a landmark in this community and getting that back is really important to folks."
The building will be 504,000 square feet and hundreds more structural beams will be placed in the project.

Updated with short handed goals for and against and expanded to all teams in the Central Division. The tables below reveal a pattern that is largely logical, predictable, and linear. They also indicate how easy it is to overstate or understate the importance of special teams play. It clearly varies by team. A lot of info below, so there's a highlight and a bullet point for each team
- The Blackhawks' record this year when the special teams score more than they yield is astonishing. Only once in 22 times have they failed to get a point when they win the special teams contest. The fact that even at a mere +1 they are at 1.76 points per game supports Coach Q's observation that it's more about the momentum that is lost or gained on the PP than scoring itself. Bad clown shoes are deflating.
- How important are special teams? When Columbus yields a goal on the PK, they lose. When they tie the special teams contest, their record is comparable to Chicago and Nashville.
- How important are special teams? Detroit is atrocious, but have already clinched a playoff spot. It doesn't seem to matter whether their power play produces or not. It's not really a mystery, though it's not obvious--they've had a shorthanded goal problem, yielding 10 and only scoring 2. Their mediocre PP has neutralized itself. Excellence at even strength and Vezina candidate goaltending have overcome the burden of bad special teams play.
- For every other team in the Central, scoring 0 PP goals is the most likely occurrence, but Nashville produces more often than not.
- Even mighty St.Louis has a losing record when outproduced in special teams goals.

RIVER FOREST, Ill. – The Rockford College track teams made a very impressive showing at the Concordia University Chicago Cougar Invitational on Friday. Not only did the Regents notch two individual event victories, they also established or set eight school records.
Senior Matt Lindgren (Oak Forest, Ill./ Oak Forest) continued his dominant year, notching his third and fourth wins of the outdoor seasons. Lindgren won both the 800 meters and 1500 meters, establishing the year's best time in the NAC for 2010. In the 1500, Lindgren set a new school record of 3:59.28. Also on the men's side, sophomore Victor Reyes (Winthrop Harbor, Ill./ Zion Benton) established a record in the 300M Steeplechase (10:22.6) and sophomore Bobby Tassone (Sandwich, Ill./ Sandwich) established a record of 5.37 meters in the long jump.
The three juniors on the Regents women's team were heavily involved in the record shattering. Erin Filak (Rockford, Ill./ Boylan) finished 5th in the 400 meters cutting over five seconds of the previous school record, finishing in a time of 1:03.96. Filak also set a new school record of 2:33.26 in the 800 meters. Heather Goodrich (Tinley Park, Ill./ Victor J. Andrew) also broke school records in the 200 meters by nearly two seconds (30.38) and long jump (4.34 meters). Maribel Guerrero (St. Elmo, Ill./ St. Elmo) improved on the discuss record she established last week, with a throw of 25.41 meters.
The Regents will travel back to Lisle, Illinois on Friday to run in the Benedictine University Twilight Invitational.

I'm becoming convinced we are in a generation for lack of a better word that is "clueless" about this art form that is actually a craft, less we forget that everyone isn't equipped to do. Not to beat a dead horse to death, but this whole notion of not challenging ourselves as filmmakers is painfully apparent with the release or even mention of certain films. It's almost like there's this complacent attitude towards being okay with or worse uplifting mediocre work (writers, directors and actors alike).
I remain grateful for films like, I Will Follow, which is a step in the right direction. As a new writer/producer, I'm into creating entertaining quality films with touches of uniqueness that may not be popular, but damn sure what's needed.

A third suspect has been arrested in connection with the death of an elderly Brownfield nursing home patient.
Terry County Sheriff Larry Gilbreath says Edna Stowe, 56, was indicted on two counts, the first was injury to the elderly, and the second was injury to the elderly with a deadly weapon.
Gilbreath says both counts fell under the same indictment. Stowe surrendered to authorities in Terry County Monday morning and has since posted bail.
Stowe joins Maria Briones and Jon Jay Kirksey as the other suspects arrested for the case. Gilbreath also confirmed Kirksey was indicted for two counts, also injury to the elderly, and injury to the elderly with a deadly weapon.
According to Gilbreath, Briones only faces a charge of injury to the elderly.
Due to the ongoing investigation, officials could not elaborate on why the other two suspects were charged with injury to the elderly with a deadly weapon.
Willie Byers, 71, died in February when he was found dead from hypothermia outside the Tumbleweed Nursing Home.
Investigators say surveillance video from the facility showed Byers walking outside unattended in frigid temperatures. He was found several hours later.
The Texas Attorney General's office launched an investigation into claims of neglect at the facility. Agents from their office arrested Kirksey and Briones last week.
Last week, Byers' nephew told KCBD that Stowe, Kirksey, and Briones all worked for the nursing home and that Kirksey and Stowe resigned shortly after the incident.
The facility has been renamed Apex Secure Care. An administrator told us Thursday that Briones was still employed by the facility.
