Guest Star: "'Django' Should Win Best Picture But I Don't Know If They're Going To Give It To Tarantino"
Sunday, Feb 24, 2013 1:50PM
[With the Academy Awards finally here and tons of highly-acclaimed movies going up for Best Picture, Oscar-winning producer DJ Paul gives SOHH readers his personal take on tonight's biggest category and which film is destined for gold.]
Best Picture Nominees: Amour, Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained, Les Misérables, Life of Pi, Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Zero Dark Thirty
Argo: Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Alan Arkin
Argo? I haven't been to the movies in a while because they bring out so much bullsh*t these days, I'm almost scared to go to the movies. But Argo, I wanted to see that one. I saw the commercial and it looked crazy.
Djano Unchained: Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington
Now Django was good. Everyone loved that movie. It's relevant to the hip-hop culture because there were rappers that told me to go and see that motherf*cker. I remember I was in the studio and people were just telling me how crazy it was, this and that. Hip-hop f*cks with Quentin Tarantino because he f*cks with hip-hop. He's always hanging out with RZA. We f*ck with Quentin. I go all the way back with him when I saw From Dusk 'Til Dawn with George Clooney and he was all tatted up in the movie. I got my tattoos based on that movie.
I think Django should get the Best Picture award. I think they should get it. F*ck all that other sh*t with people hating on it. It should get it. I'm a big Jamie Foxx fan, too. So anything he does, I'm down with it.
Les Miserables: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried
I know this movie is going to win something because it's a classic. Everybody knows that. Even before I even knew what it was, just being around and going out to Las Vegas and Los Angeles, I would see that movie poster everywhere. I would say, "What is this, some type of popular play?" That's a given right there. This movie is going to win something at the Academy Awards.
Life of Pi: Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Tabu, Rafe Spall, Gerard Depardieu
I didn't get to see this movie. I may have seen the trailer.
Lincoln: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think Lincoln is going to do something at the Academy Awards. I think it's going to do something because of the historical context but also because Daniel Day-Lewis plays the sh*t out of that part, man. If you look at the dude that plays Lincoln with and without the make-up, he looks like a totally different person. He looks like a totally different person just based off that alone. I think this is going to do something.
DJ Paul's Prediction:
If this was ten years ago, I would say the Les Miserables would have won Best Picture. But now, it's hard to say because Three 6 Mafia won for Hustle & Flow, Jamie Foxx won an Academy Award [a few years ago], it wasn't like the old Oscars where it was straight traditional. You would think back then that the traditional films that the older white crowds would choose would be the winner. They switched it up and started getting a bit different with it. If I had to pick, I'd say Django should win Best Picture but I don't know if they're going to give it to Tarantino. I would have to put my money on Argo or Les Miserables probably winning the Oscar for Best Picture. I don't really think Lincoln for Best Picture but you never know at these things.

LAS VEGAS -- A former elementary school teacher will spend at least six years in prison for a DUI crash that caused a teen to lose his leg.
Noel Lardeo was sentenced Wednesday to serve from six years to a maximum of 15 years in prison. She was given credit for time she has already served. Lardeo pleaded guilty in September to the felony drunk driving.
Teen's Courageous Battle After Devastating Crash
Lardeo was driving drunk on Feb. 5 when she ran into a bus stop and hit 15-year-old Conan Obenchain. He ended up losing his left leg and suffered severe injuries to his right leg. He did not attend the sentencing but his father did and made sure the judge was aware of the pain his family has been through.
"Drunk Drivers are the most dangerous kind of criminal," said Patrick Obenchain. "Because anyone can become their victim at random."
Obenchain says his family is still dealing with more than $80,000 in medical bills. The judge did order Lardeo to pay $82,000 in restitution.
Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

I don't mean to steal Sean's thunder today and I certainly don't want to do what he is doing so lets do the opposite in the spirit of thinking positive about our Lions in the last 10 years. I will list MY thoughts on the top 10 draft picks since 2001. These will be from 10 to 1 in the order of their impact.
#10 Sammie Hill - I know this is a head scratcher for some but considering where we drafted him from and when we drafted him! This pick in my opinion was a 4rth round gem! Even during the off season last year when we basically had our D Line solidified, the coaches couldn't stop talking about how good he had looked in practice compared to his rookie season and how they were actually thinking about starting him over Corey Williams. In 2010 he proved that this was no fluke and he meant business. Even while being bumped from starter to back up, he managed to have a more productive sophomore year finishing with 21 tackles (14 as a starter in his Rookie Season) and 2.5 sacks (none as a starter in his Rookie Season).
#9DeAndre Levy - After an impressive Rookie Season, Levy is showing to be a solid MLB. His 2nd year was off to a bad start because of reoccurring groin injuries but once he got back in the game he finished the season healthy and had a solid presence in the middle including 2 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries.
#8Javid Best - As explosive as his is, he had a very hard time keeping himself healthy this year so I decided not to grade him in the top of the list just yet. He showed exactly what he is capable of against the Eagles this year and because of him, we almost damn near one that game. We can all agree that when he is healthy, he is practically unstoppable. Stay tuned for this year.
#7Roy Williams - Despite what everyone has always said, Roy Williams had actually played very well for us. He was the 2nd of 3 straight 1st round selections of WR's and proved to be a great receiver for us. He did sometimes drop the easy passes and his constant "1st down signals" may have gotten irritating for Lions fans... maybe just because of the fact that we lost most of the games he played in during his time in Detroit. Overall he was a good pick for us.
#6 Dominic Raiola - Drafted right after Jeff Backus in the 2nd round of the 2001 draft. Though he is said to be undersized, gets pushed back sometimes by D Lineman and may run his mouth a little too much, he has proven to be a solid Center for the Lions for a decade also not missing any games. His biggest attribute is his passion for his team and how he ALWAYS publically sticks up for his teammates.
#5 Ernie Sims - First round pick out of Florida State, Ernie made an immediate impact and in most years with Detroit, he led the team in tackles. Ernie never did anything extraordinary for the team and never quite turned into the game breaker that the Lions had actually hopped for but he did prove to be a solid fit at the Will position and probably would have blossomed had he still be playing for us this year.
#4)Jeff Backus - Like him or not; like his stats or not; he has been the one piece on this team that has NEVER been plagued with injuries. Jeff Backus plays the toughest position in the game; the buzz you hear about Left Tackle isn't overblown, it really is true. You are only as good as your team and for the longest time he had to pick up the slack for a LG that practically didn't exist until just last year and we finally saw what Backus can do.
#3)Shaun Rogers- The Former Long horn was a 2nd round pick in the 2001 Draft. Completely underrated at the time, Rogers came in and had a fantastic 7 years in Detroit earning 3 trips to the Pro Bowl and a 2nd Team All Pro spot in 2004. Shaun's presence was immediately felt as he once combined his strength with the likes of Luther Ellis, James Hall, Robert Porcher and eventually Corey Redding.
#2)Ndamukong Suh - I gave him the number 2 spot (for now) because the former Cornhusker dominated the trenches and is almost making it cool again to be a D-Lineman... but only being one year the Lions fans are still hoping for more from Suh. In his first year he earned a trip to the Pro Bowl, a spot on the All Pro Team, and Rookie of the Year.
#1) Calvin Johnson - I don't have to even explain it... but it wouldn't be any fun if I didn't. As much as a Lions fan wanted to roll their eyes because Millen drafted his 4th WR in the 1st round; we didn't hate the pick so much. This guy was a no brainer and it was the ONE TIME that Millen drafted the right way. He took the best player available. There was a rumor that they were hoping to trade him to Tampa for another pick and Gaines Adams but it fell through. CJ has had an immediate impact since he's been in the league; not only does he have the "ups" to make any catch over any DB, but he also has such a scary presence that it forces teams to pay too much attention to him leaving more weapons wide open. Even in are darkest year in 2008, Calvin managed to finish the season tied for the most TD catches... would have been more significant if we actually won a game. Bottom Line, he will continue to scare the shit out of every team we play and a defensive scheme will always be based on stopping him.
Honorably Mentioned:
Corey Redding - His first two years were huge including 39 tackles and 8 sacks in 2006. After his stats started to rapidly decline and would become evident that he plays better with a better supporting cast. He would ultimately be traded to Seattle for Julian Peterson.
Cliff Avril - He showed something his freshman year and was a sort of bright light in a dark season. His 2nd year was inconsistent and lost his starting position a few times though still managed to log some decent stats. His 3rd year was probably his best. He was the 4th piece in a completely revamped defensive line and at times would steal the show with his intensity and play. He finished the year with 8.5 sacks.
These are my picks and I'm sure I'll have lots of critics as always! I just figured with all the "Worst Pick Lists" and the "Top 10 Draft Busts" that we always see, why not put together a list that shows the few bright lights that have comes in the last 10 years?

Here are some postgame quotes following the Dallas Stars' 4-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues at American Airlines Center.
Stars coach Glen Gulutzan on the win
"I thought there were some good things. Obviously our start wasn't what we wanted, but at the end of the day they came out hard and I think part of their game plan was to get on us early. They were physical with us. I think after the (Erik) Cole goal we kind of got in our mojo. We got a little better first period, and carried it over to the second and third. We did simple things. We got pucks to the net and we didn't take penalties. We were the Boy Scouts of America today. It wasn't a pretty hockey game to watch, but at the end of the day if you play enough of those the right way you're going to get results. We got them tonight."
Gulutzan on the play of Derek Roy, who had one goal and two assists
"Yesterday was the first day that he said he felt 100% healthy. He was quick on pucks, he made great little plays, especially at the end. I thought he was really good today and that's what we're going to get moving forward. We're relying on him and we know he can deliver."
Gulutzan on Antoine Roussel's first period fight with Chris Stewart
"Roussel has done everything he can for this team. He set up that goal, I thought it was a great play, and then he fights. The reason he's having success is because he does everything right. He works extremely hard and he's fearless. It helped our bench to know that we have guys committed to do whatever it takes to win."
Stars forward Derek Roy on the game
"We wanted to come out strong right away. We know we have a lot of games in March and we want to make hay at home and get some wins. We didn't start off the way we wanted to but we battled back and got some good turnovers, we worked hard, threw pucks to the net, got some good bounces and made some good plays."
Roy on the turning point of the game
"I think [Antoine] Roussel's fight definitely gave us a lift. They were chipping everything in, and they've got big bodies and were getting in on our defensemen and working us down low. And we tried to do the same on the other end but they were doing a good job defending. And Roussel gave us a good fight and it gave us a boost. Then we got that goal by Cole and we took off after that."
Stars forward Loui Eriksson
"The first one was kind of bad for the most part. I thought the second and the third we played really well. I think we took over the game, especially in the third, I thought we really took over the game. We didn't give them many chances and we got some good chances against them. We got some goals too so that was really good for us."
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock on the game
"We had too many average performances. What can you say? Too many average performances doesn't get it done on the road. I don't know."
Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk
"I think they just outbattled us for the most of the game. We weren't able to put pucks in the net. We had our opportunities there to bang some in. We just couldn't seem to get it by Lehtonen there. We didn't draw too many penalties either. We feed off our power play and we weren't able to get that going either. It was a tough one all around."

Governance, Organizations and Security
Governments and the private sector face constant threats of cyber-intrusion traveling across borders on far-reaching computer networks. Unsafe food and infectious disease affect millions of people. Failed or failing states are unable to assure security for their citizens and can undermine regional and global security.
All of these challenges implicate critical problems of governance and organization affecting security, international cooperation and the continuing evolution of nation-states. Governance and organization issues can affect the ability of government agencies to transcend cultural or bureaucratic problems that sometimes bedevil security policy, law, economics and society. They can impact the ability of nations to tackle global problems such as food security, arms proliferation and human rights. Ultimately, governance issues affect the resilience of societies as they confront risks in a changing and uncertain world.
Understanding and addressing these issues is a priority for CISAC. Former CISAC Co-Director Scott Sagan has done extensive work on the development and enforcement of transnational strategies to bolster the nuclear nonproliferation regime. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall has published on the importance of allies and alliances to U.S. security. James Fearon and Jeremy Weinstein have written extensively about the relationship between development aid and social cohesion after civil war. Stephen Stedman has authored numerous publications on the role of international organizations in global security, including the U.N. High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change's report A More Secure World: Our Shared Responsibility.
Governance and organization problems are just as important to national-level policies that address security and safety. CISAC scholars are working on the development and evaluation of strategies for ensuring the proper and effective role of intelligence in security and cooperation. Thomas Fingar has published widely about methods of analysis in the U.S. intelligence community, as well as the relationship between intelligence and U.S. government agencies. In her book, Spying Blind, CISAC Co-Director Amy Zegart provided the first scholarly examination of the intelligence failures leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Other researchers, including FSI Director Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar, are pursuing projects that explore the role of the executive branch in the United States and the relationship between national security and the organization of federal agencies such as the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services.

Best Desktop Mouse
So my Performance MX is finally ready to be replaced. Longest I've ever had a mouse (15 months). I've managed to rub the mouse smooth and it just doesn't feel right in the hand anymore.
So I was hoping for some suggestions as to what is the best mouse out there now. Is the Performance MX still king? I have no issues with it, but I would like to know if there is anything better, yet. Just for comparison's sake, my last three mice prior to the Performance MX were MX Revolutions, which I still contend is the best mouse ever made.
I only do basic gaming on my PC (Minecraft, Portal, Dungeon Defenders, etc) so there is no need for a crazy Razer mouse.
So, any suggestions?

Anyone who saw Cassidy Griger swim at Cooperstown or at the Clark Sports Center believed that she would continue to have success in college.
Now Griger has proven her supporters right.
Griger, a 2012 CCS graduate and a sophomore at New Paltz, was selected to the All-SUNYAC second team this year thanks to her third place conference finish in the 200 freestyle, (1:54.49) last month in Buffalo.
She also placed fourth in the 100 freestyle (53.65) and sixth in the 200 individual medley, (2:11.77).
The Grigers are a swimming family. Her sisters, Delilah, Tessa and Eden all swim, and her mother Kristen, who swam in high school and college, currently coaches the Sharks at the Clark.
Griger still hold several many records for the Sharks, the Clark pool and at CCS, including the high school's records in the 200 and 500 freestyle. But even her college coach said that she had gotten better at the next level.
"We thought when we recruited her, she would, at best, place 15th in States, but she shaved some crucial seconds off her time and she placed third," says Scott Whitman, her New Paltz coach. "Cassidy dropped a lot of time physically, she's in the best shape, and her technique is probably the best of anyone I've ever coached. She's done very well here. I'm just really excited to have her here for the next two years because I think she has a very bright future.
"Cassidy's times were competitive to be part of the team, but certainly, she has improved dramatically in the past two years, going from somebody who we thought would be in the middle of the pack in our program to being one of the top two or three swimmers we have," he continued. "She's someone who has true potential to compete and qualify for nationals in her final couple of years here as a swimmer. I really felt like Cassidy was ready to take the next step to nationals this year. She didn't quite make it, but she got close, and I think within a year or two she has the potential to be an All American."

Hey guys, all of Husker Nation has been suffering through the first two weeks of this season as we played a couple of patsies that didn't really tell us much about ourselves. Consequently, we've all been looking ahead to our game this coming Saturday out in Seattle, and I thought it would be fun to set up a discussion thread, especially because I doubt either fan base knows much about the 2010 version of the team they're about to face. Some of my thoughts on Nebraska after the jump.Nebraska is 2-0 with 49-10 and 38-17 victories over Western Kentucky and Idaho.
On offense, the Huskers have looked explosive, but inconsistent and sloppy through their first two games. Each outing, the Huskers piled up around 500 yards of total offense while only taking about 50 snaps each game. This is one thing that concerns Husker fans. Obviously, our offense, wasn't very good last year, but looked good at this stage in the season, and also we still don't have a great feel for what our offense is supposed to look like because we've been scoring too quickly to be exposed to many normal situations, like 3rd down.
The Idaho game in particular drove fans nuts. We moved the ball at will (around 9 yards per play), but fumbled 8 times, threw a pick, and racked up around 150 yards in penalties. We really should've beaten Idaho by around 50 instead of 21.
One last hope/concern is our new quarterback. Taylor Martinez is a redshirt freshman, and has never played on the road before. He's very talented, and is a legitimate home run threat whenever he touches the ball. However, he's still a freshman and is prone to freshman mistakes.
Game plan advice: Key in on Martinez. Take away the Husker run as much as possible, and make Martinez throw. He's only thrown around 30 passes so far this year and has no TD's and 1 int. He's completing around 60% of his passes, but I think that's the best way to stop the Huskers and force mistakes.
On defense, our front 7 has been good, and our back 4 have been superb. Over the first two games, the Blackshirts have sacked opposing qb's 9 times (once against WKU, 8 times against Idaho), picked off 6 passes (one against WKU, 5 against Idaho) and have been very effective when the outcome of the game was still in question.
A couple areas of concern: our front seven has let very mediocre teams have decent running days against the Huskers, with WKU averaging around 4.5 and Idaho around 4 yards per carry. This line misses Suh, no doubt about it. Second, is our lack of focus at times. Our defense has been great early in the game, but has lost its fire once we got out ahead by 3-4 touchdowns. That doesn't hurt against Western Kentucky, but it could against a team with a dangerous offense.
Game plan advice: Get the running game going. As of right now, run defense is the weakness of the Blackshirts, and our secondary is one of the 2-3 best in the nation. I realize that Locker is a very good quarterback, but take my word on this: if he is throwing on every down, Washington will lose. Get the running game going, achieve a balanced attack, and you should be able to move the ball.
I think that's all I've got. Any thoughts from UW fans?

Does it ever feel to you like Twitter is a Left-wing echo chamber – full of diehard Scargillites who probably cheered the death of Margaret Thatcher? Well, last month that idea was debunked by research that showed – in June, at least – that more people tweeted positive things about David Cameron than they did about Ed Miliband, the Labour leader. If anything, Twitter was Tory: its users spent the month ridiculing Mr Miliband for posing with the Sun, for the hideous bacon sandwich incident and for his questionable leadership style.
So how is it going, a month later? Once again, the experts at impactSocial have been listening in to the political conversation on Twitter. They have taken a random sample of 400 tweets about each of the four main party leaders – David Cameron, Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage. And they've also monitored the volume of political… Read More

A hundred years on, how do you picture the average British officer in the First World War? I find it hard not to think of 2nd Lt George, the ludicrously dim character in Blackadder Goes Forth played by Hugh Laurie. George (who must surely have gone to Eton) is thick as a plank, but jolly brave. When he hears that the lethal "big push" is tomorrow at dawn, his cheerful response is: "Well, hurrah with highly polished brass knobs on! About time!"
That's roughly the stereotype. British officers at war, wrote the poet Keith Douglas, "are fading into two legends in which their stupidity and chivalry are celebrated". They behaved with "famous unconcern", he said – and it was this, not intellect, that set them apart.
But like all stereotypes, it's a little unfair. In their new… Read More

If 2015 is going be the "selfie" general election – where everything our politicians do, say, eat or tweet is going to be dissected on social media – it's probably worth taking a closer look at that media about now. Twitter claims to have at least 15 million active users in the UK, 80 per cent of which are active on their mobiles (that's according to Nielsen). You only need to compare that to the roughly five million people who were using Twitter at the time of the last general election to see why it's going to form a much bigger part of the political conversation over the next 10 months.
Recently, the experts at impactSocial have been listening in on that conversation – analysing small randomised samples of tweets from hundreds of thousands – to find out what people have been saying on Twitter about David Cameron,… Read More

Why did the chicken cross the road? Well, maybe, just maybe, it was filled with terror and running from a famished prime minister. Yesterday in Bristol, David Cameron stopped off at Nando's for a spot of Piri Piri chicken. His fellow diners - after snapping a few excited selfies with the PM and sharing them on social media - revealed that he ate a hot half a chicken with chips and coleslaw, and drank a large glass of red wine. It cost £14.95.
So what, you may ask? Nothing… Read More

Yesterday, Nigel Farage called for the formation of a new Civil Defence Corps, made up of volunteers to deal with natural disasters like the floods.
It's a classic bit of Ukip thinking: Dave's Big Society meets Dad's Army. (The original CDC, which was wound down in 1968, was a voluntary body trained to respond to nuclear war.)
But here's the thing. Even though he raised it during a visit to the Somerset Levels, for maximum impact and media coverage, it simply hasn't taken off as an idea.
Nor has his proposal that the foreign aid budget be diverted to flood victims (though one newspaper has backed it with a petition). I'm yet to hear one of the flood victims talk about it, for example.
Likewise, Mr Farage's visits to flooded areas have also been… Read More

A poll of 12,000 Catholics in 12 countries reveals that they disagree strongly with the Church on a whole range of moral issues, all newspapers report today.
Surprised? I'm not. It's blindingly obvious to most Catholics that – away from a few hives of traditionalism – the faithful have departed from official doctrine. What were once views held only by radical Catholics have become mainstream.
To give you an idea, here are some figures from the Univision poll in question: 86% of French Catholics think priests should be allowed to marry; 82% of Spanish Catholics think divorcees who remarry aren't "living in sin"; 73% of Polish Catholics think abortion should be allowed in some cases; 93% of Brazilian Catholics support the use of contraception. Oh, and 54% of US Catholics support gay marriage.
In other words, Pope Francis has an almighty challenge on his hands. If the Church's teaching… Read More

David Cameron's bid to give the British people a vote on membership of the European Union is a "dead parrot". That's according to Bill Cash, a prominent Conservative Eurosceptic.
Tories reacted with fury today after the PM's plan to enshrine in law an in-out EU vote came under sustained attack from Labour and Liberal Democrat peers in the House of Lords, in what Conservatives claimed was a co-ordinated effort to kill the Bill.
"Voters will see through this subterfuge and realise that only the Conservatives will give them their say on whether they should remain in the European Union," said Lord Hill, Tory Leader of the House of Lords.
Hmm. Are voters even aware of such subterfuge? More likely they will remember 1) David Cameron's pledge last year… Read More

Iain Duncan Smith compared his welfare reforms to the struggle to end slavery. Changes to the benefits system, he said today, are part of a "historic mission" to help people "break free" like William Wilberforce's campaign to end the slave trade.
Instead of "disapproving" of people on benefits, the Work and Pensions Secretary said, we should blame politicians (i.e. Labour) for creating a failing welfare system that traps people in poverty.
Key quote: "As Conservatives, that is part of our party's historic mission. Just look at Wilberforce and Shaftesbury: to put hope back where it has gone, to give people from chaotic lives security through hard work, helping families improve the quality of their own lives."

Did Margaret Thatcher's government send an SAS officer to tell the Indian government how best to raid the Golden Temple, the Sikhs' holiest shrine?
It's an incendiary claim – and not yet a proven one. But the 1984 raid, called Operation Blue Star and carried out by the Indian Army to remove dissidents from the Golden Temple, resulted in hundreds of deaths, devastating damage to the temple and ultimately the assassination of Indira Gandhi, India's prime minister, later that year (as well as the horrendous anti-Sikh pogroms which ensued after her death in Delhi). Though they may not sympathise with the dissidents' aims, Sikhs all over the world still feel very strongly about the raid and its consequences.
That's why this claim is being taken so seriously by… Read More

The Tory plan for a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU cleared its first hurdle in the Lords. The EU (referendum) Bill was given an unopposed second reading after a seven-hour debate.
But there were warnings from Labour and Liberal Democrat backbenchers that the legislation, which guarantees a vote on EU membership in 2017, could be delayed and fail to make it back to the House of Commons in time to become law. The backbench peers (including Lord Oakeshott, an ally of Vince Cable) intend to table a series of amendments to the Bill, meaning it could run out of parliamentary time.
A defiant James Wharton, the backbench Tory MP… Read More

Wheels and tires
If your tires withstood several cycles of heat, their rubber compounds are strong, and the possibility of exhibiting some minor cracks. This is especially common on older or cheaper tires.
Check tires along the sides, as well as tread. If you do not see any cracks, as most riders will not, then check the tread depth. Each motorcycle is equipped with a tire wear bars.
If your treads have worn down to the wear bars, it's best to replace them now rather than in the middle of the season, which will really throw a damper on that trip to Deal's Gap. If your tires have adequate tread, then check the tire pressures and inflate according to the manual. Also look at the valve stem and make sure they are not damaged. Check your drives for dents or stones wedged between the tires and spin the wheels to make sure bearings sound and feel good.
Check the brake pads of your motorcycle or unbolting the caliper and look at them to see how much meat left on the pads. If the brake pads are pretty worn out, even if it is in the first instance on the one hand, they will need to be replaced. Replacing the brake pads is not difficult, but mechanically prevents probably want the dealer to take care of it.
Take a look at your rotors while you're there, and make sure they don't exhibit any major signs of heavy grooving. Pull the front brake lever and make sure that there is enough pressure that the lever refrains from hitting the handlebar. Make sure the rear brake pedal is strong, as well. If they are mushy, you'll need to bleed the brake system, which can be a bit tricky without experience.

Disbarred Ex-DA Who Pressured Workers in His Office for Sex Gets 1 Year, Apologizes for 'Flirting'
Posted Jan 19, 2012 5:08 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A former Colorado district attorney who was disbarred last month over his mistreatment of multiple women was sentenced today to one year in prison after pleading guilty to criminal charges related to the sexual demands he made on three women working in his office.
Former Montrose County DA Myrl Serra was sentenced to one year for violating conditions of his bond, as well as to 60 days in jail and four years of sex-offender probation on felony extortion and misdemeanor unlawful sexual contact counts. He must also register as a sex offender, the Denver Post reports.
Although Serra apologized to the victims, who said he repeatedly exposed himself, grabbed them and pressured them for sex (three said he asked "What will you give me?" when they sought time off from work), he also insisted that the interaction between them was "flirting" or consensual, on both sides. The problem, he indicated, was poor judgment on his part concerning the imbalance of power rather than sexual harassment, the newspaper says.
Montrose County District Court Judge David Bottger said he believed the women, not Serra.
Serra faced a maximum of 15 years in prison, but is unlikely actually to serve more prison time due to credit for 130 days already served, special prosecutor Robert Shapiro said. He predicted that Serra will be jailed for 60 days and that he will be back in court within a year for violating the terms of his probation.
A presentence investigation report said Serra is at low risk of reoffending, the Post notes.

Waiting in the Wings
Septembre Russell. Seth Prickett, a 2005 Linfield alumnus, seeks an appointment to the Oregon House of Representatives.
The District 22 senato¬rial seat became vacant when Margaret Carter, an Oregon state senator, stepped down from her position at the be¬ginning of the month for an¬other in the State Department of Human Services.
Prickett's district repre¬sentative, Chip Shields, will leave an open seat within the House of representatives should he receive the appointment from the Board of County Commissioners to replace Sen. Carter.
Prickett could possibly fill Shields' seat.
In these cases, the County Democratic Party selects three people and forwards their names to the Board of County Commissioners, which has 30 days to vote on a replacement following a vacancy.
Prickett said seeing the number of people who have become involved and sup¬port his success is enjoyable; however, he faces a large obstacle: his employment.
As director of public policy and governmental affairs for the Oregon Solar Industry Association and executive director of a renew¬able energy political action committee, ReNew PAC, he has considerable time com¬mitments. This creates obsta¬cles for holding a state House appointment.
Prickett said he under¬stands Oregon's struggle against the recession and unemployment.
"We are at a place where we can really develop renew¬able energy and be a leader in the country," he said. "It's not just [about] the potential for clean electricity; it's also about boosting our economy."
Also in need of reform, he said, is the state's education system. Investing in teach¬ers as well as students and bestowing them with tools for success is the cornerstone to improving the economy in the future.
"We can do multiple things to enhance our economy now, but un¬less we fix the education system now, we are go¬ing to be in this situa¬tion again and again," Prickett said.
Prickett grew up in Hillsboro, Ore., and has lived in Oregon his entire life; five genera¬tions of his family have resided in Washington County. At Linfield, he majored in political science. He said he had a wonderful college experience. His favorite class was state and local politics.
Prickett was also involved in student government at Linfield, serving as vice president of Associated Stu¬dents of Linfield College and as student body president his senior year. The experience, he said, reinforced his interest in politics.
This interest was sparked after a mock presidential party convention during his time at Glencoe High School in Hillsboro.
As campaign manager for District 30 candidate Dave Edwards in 2006, Prickett helped create the strategy for Edwards' campaign. He was in charge of scheduling and planning events, as well as campaign publicity. From his experience as a campaign manager, Prickett said he learned a great deal in terms of what is necessary to be elected.
"I'm a strong believer in grassroots campaigning, walking door-to-door, talk¬ing to voters, asking them for their vote and finding out what the community wants and needs," he said.
Although a grassroots campaign is not necessary for an appointment, Prickett said he is met with tremendous support for his efforts.
"Many people do not realize that the government
and our legal system control what we can and cannot do," Prickett said. "If you truly want to be a part of changing our society for the better, there is no better place to be than an elected posi¬tion."
Join the Facebook group, Seth Prickett for State Representative N & NE Portland, to find more information about Prickett and support his campaign.

Oregon's Lane County this month freed 92 of its prisoners,

budget deficit and, in an aim to close the gap, is leaving more than
two-thirds of its jail beds empty. Other things that have fallen victim

Betty Broderick: Divorce... Desperation...Death
Back to Court
Twelve months later, October 1991, Betty again faced a court trial. Having virtually won the first go-around with a hung jury, she approached the second with confidence. Kerry Wells, incensed at the non-verdict of a year earlier, had seethed to reporters, "It ain't over 'til it's over," and vowed to come back dukes up. Betty's biographer Bella Stumbo reports that Larry Broderick even sent her a list of Dos and Don'ts compiled by his late brother's professional associates. After relating these, Larry smugly wrote that the suggestions were based on "what I believe would have the most positive impact on a jury of lower-middle-class, less-than-average-intelligent jurors."
Jack Early, who would again oppose Wells, knew that the angry prosecutor would hit him with some new twists and turns abounding; he prepared for the high drama to come. The first trial had mainly centered on the squabbles of the battling Brodericks and had resembled more of an installment of Peyton Place than a murder trial. Early guessed and he was on target that the county prosecution team would focus this time on the details of the murder, not the emotions that led to it.
Betty, in the meantime, survived another year in prison. She remained in high spirits, found several close friends and took part in prison activities. She was delighted to see her two boys when they visited. But, as the trial neared, an incident occurred in prison that marred the easy transition. Betty fought with two female jail guards who came to her cell to move her to an isolation unit as punishment for an earlier infraction; refusing to cooperate, she apparently kicked, howled and struggled and had to be forcibly evicted from her cell wearing green panties and a sweatshirt. Details are sketchy but at that time lurid enough to catch the eye of the press. The following morning's headlines roared to an American public that Betty was once again exhibiting her old defiant ways. Jack Early cried foul, blasting the incident as a stage-up.
However, contrary to the melee, Betty followed it with a completely controlled and relaxed interview with the TV show, 20/20, not appearing at all as the type of creature who tries to gouge out the eyes of prison wardens. Void of a sneer, Betty told her listening national audience that, "The law has to take into account the differences between men and women in terms of their respective power. Men have all the power... That's why (Dan) could do to me what he did...This whole case is a story of extremes extremes of rich to poor, and all the rest. I said I represent the extremes of what can happen to women in divorce courts."
"The second Broderick trial was, in most ways, a repeat of the first," relates Bella Stumbo in Until the Twelfth of Never. "Most of the same witnesses returned, and the essential trial themes were unchanged was this an evil, gate-filled narcissist, or an emotionally abused housewife driven to kill? Opening arguments were pretty much the same as before, although both Wells and Early had sharpened their rhetoric. Wells referred now to Betty as 'the executioner,' Early spoke of Dan as 'the gladiator'."

Gov. Jan Brewer announced early Wednesday night that she had vetoed SB 1062, a bill that would have allowed business owners to refuse service based on their religious beliefs.
The following is her statement in full:
"Good evening, and thank you for joining me here today.
"I am here to announce my decision on Senate Bill 1062.
"As with every proposal that reaches my desk, I gave Senate Bill 1062 careful evaluation and deliberate consideration. I call them like I see them, despite the cheers or boos from the crowd.
"I took the time necessary to make the RIGHT decision. I met or spoke with my attorneys, lawmakers and citizens supporting and opposing this legislation.
"I listened ... and asked questions.
"As Governor, I have protected religious freedoms when there is a specific and present concern that exists in OUR state.
"And I have the record to prove it.
"My agenda is to sign into law legislation that advances Arizona.
"When I addressed the Legislature earlier this year, I made my priorities for this session abundantly clear…
"Among them are passing a responsible budget that continues Arizona's economic Comeback.
"From CEOs - to entrepreneurs - to business surveys - Arizona ranks as one the best states to grow or start a business.
"Additionally, our IMMEDIATE challenge is fixing a broken Child Protection system.
"Instead, this is the first policy bill to cross my desk.
"Senate Bill 1062 does not address a specific and present concern related to religious liberty in Arizona. I have not heard of one example in Arizona where a business owner's religious liberty has been violated.
"The bill is broadly worded and could result in unintended and negative consequences.
"After weighing all of the arguments, I vetoed Senate Bill 1062 moments ago.
"To the supporters of the legislation, I want you to know that I understand that long-held norms about marriage and family are being challenged as never before.
"Our society is undergoing many dramatic changes. However, I sincerely believe that Senate Bill 1062 has the potential to create more problems than it purports to solve.
"It could divide Arizona in ways we cannot even imagine and no one would ever want.
"Religious liberty is a core American and Arizona value, so is non-discrimination.
"Going forward, let's turn the ugliness of the debate over Senate Bill 1062 into a renewed search for greater respect and understanding among ALL Arizonans and Americans.
"Thank you."

According to Sheriff Tony Mancuso, around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, deputies were dispatched to a mobile home located at 101 Tousaint Road, Lot 91, in Lake Charles, in reference to a stabbing.
When deputies arrived, they discovered 42-year-old Gregory Bryant on the floor with a stab wound to the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to authorities, further investigation revealed that Bryant and his roommate, Michael Brown, 54, had an argument when Brown armed himself with a knife and stabbed Bryant.
Authorities said Brown fled the scene on foot and was located by deputies a short time later.
Brown confirmed he stabbed Bryant, authorities said.
According to witnesses, the two had been out together at a local nightclub and had been arguing throughout the evening. The argument escalated once they returned home. Authorities said the argument was allegedly about money.
Brown was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center. He is being charged with second-degree murder. Bond is set at $1.5 million.

RECIPE # 4379 GREAT GRANOLA BREAKFAST BREAD October 6, 2009
3 cups (15 ounces) unbleached all-purpose white flour, plus more as needed
3 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
3/4 teaspoon instant, fast-rising, or bread machine yeast
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
3 tablespoons corn oil, canola oil or other flavorless vegetable oil, plus more for dough top and pan
1 1/3 cups plain, raisin, honey-oat, mixed fruit and nut or other fine-textured granola, plus 4 tablespoons for garnish
1/3 cup top-quality instant non-fat powdered milk
First Rise: In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. In another bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the water and oil. Vigorously stir the mixture into the bowl with the flour, scraping down the sides until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. If the mixture is too dry to incorporate all the flour, a bit at a time, stir in just enough more ice water to blend the ingredients; don't over-moisten, as the dough should be stiff. Brush or spray the top with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. If desired, for best flavor or for convenience, you can refrigerate the dough for 3 to 10 hours; this is optional. Then let rise at cool room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
Second Rise: Vigorously stir the dough, gradually sprinkling over the 11/3 cups granola and the milk powder; continue stirring until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Very generously oil a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the granola and tip the pan back and forth to distribute it over the bottom and sides. Turn out the dough into the pan. Brush or spray the loaf top with oil. Using an oiled rubber spatula or your fingertips, smooth and press the dough evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons granola, pressing down lightly. Cover the bowl with nonstick spray-coated plastic wrap.
Let rise using any of these methods: for a 2- to 3-hour regular rise, let stand at warm room temperature; for a 1- to 2-hour accelerated rise, let stand in a turned-off microwave along with 1 cup of boiling-hot water; or for an extended rise, refrigerate, covered, for 4 to 48 hours, then set out at room temperature. Continue the rise until the dough nears the plastic. Remove it and continue until the dough extends 1/4 inch above the pan rim.
Baking Preliminaries: 15 minutes before baking time, place a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 375[dg]F. Sprinkle the loaf with 1 tablespoon sugar.
Baking: Bake on the lower rack for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is nicely browned. Cover with foil and continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes until a skewer inserted in the thickest part comes out with just a few crumbs on the tip (or until center registers 205[dg] to 208[dg]F on an instant-read thermometer). When the loaf seems done, bake 5 minutes longer to ensure the center is baked through. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the loaf to the rack. Cool thoroughly.
Makes 1 large loaf, 12 to 14 slices.
Easily assembled ingredients and easy preparation. No hand-shaping.
Enriched with both granola and milk, this large, slightly sweet loaf is great for breakfast on the go. It's also good for toasting and makes a fine French toast or brunch bread. The loaf has a handsome, nubby-crusty top and light crumb accented with pleasing little patches and bursts of granola flavor. It always receives compliments and is a favorite with my family and friends.
Almost any purchased or homemade granola you like will do for this recipe; I'm partial to honey-oat with almonds. Whatever your choice, if it's coarse and chunky, crush it into fine ([1/8]-inch) bits before using. The easiest way is to put it into a sturdy plastic bag and either squeeze and press it with your hands, or, if it's hard and crunchy, go over it with a rolling pin (or a wine bottle if that's handier!).
Serving and Storing: The loaf slices best when cool, but tastes good warm. Cool completely before storing airtight in plastic or foil. It will keep at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, and may be frozen, airtight, for up to 2 months.

Apple's Adoption of 'Bluetooth Low Energy' Paves Way for New Possibilities
The best example of what will be possible comes from Apple's popular Nike+ accessory which isn't actually a Bluetooth Low Energy device. The Nike+ accessory is a sensor that sends signals from your shoe to your iOS device to track your daily runs. The information is sent from the sensor wirelessly to your iOS device where it's stored for later syncing. Nike's implementation is a proprietary one, though it is similar to Bluetooth.
Bluetooth Low Energy standardizes this sort of functionality for a broad market of devices. Like Nike's shoe sensor, the new protocol promises the ability to power accessories for more than a year on a simple button cell battery without recharging.
Since the technology is so new, there haven't been many product announcements for accessories with the technology. Casio was one of the few who has revealed a Bluetooth low-energy watch that will interface with your mobile phone.
The device can receive notifications for incoming calls, SMS and email, and can also be used to locate your phone if its within range (~5 meters). Even with the incorporation of the Bluetooth technology, the watch will run for two years on its cell battery.
Other possible uses commonly listed for Bluetooth Low Energy include:
• Find Me - electronic leash applications
• Proximity - wireless locking and unlocking, out of range alerts
• Sports / Running - stats and vitals
• Health - heart rate monitor, blood pressure, glucose monitors
EETimes suggests one interesting indoor use for these sensors given their low cost and low maintenance requirements.
One key application could be indoor location (where there is no GPS signal) whereby sensors around a large public building (such as an airport or rail station) constantly broadcast information about their location. A Bluetooth low energy equipped cell phone passing within range could then display that information to its owner. Sensors could transmit other information such as flight times and gates, location of amenities, or special offers from nearby shops.Apple joined the Bluetooth board of directors just last month and it's likely that Bluetooth 4.0 will soon extend into their other devices beyond the MacBook Air and Mac mini. The Bluetooth site claims that virtually all new smart phones will include Bluetooth 4.0 by the end of 2012.

Why would it need your permission?
The Airport is transmitting public data to anyone who wants to read it.

"Computer. Locate Lieutenant Worf."
Problem was that it was way too slow to work in real life.
if BT4 is fast, then maybe I could make it work again.
ah alright, but they are replaceable right?
Yep, a few tiny screws and the back comes off, just like any other watch.
am i the only one who thinks of a human cell when they hear cell battery? :rolleyes:
Yep, just you! :D
I've logged about 14,000 miles using the Nike+ kit ever since it was introduced about 5 years ago. And I've burned through at least a dozen of the Nike+ sensors. Never did I have one whose battery lasted a full year.
Just sayin'...
Congrats on that! I've only logged in the hundreds of miles since September 2010. I use the GPS app, not the sensor so you don't have to burn through the sensors :)

House lawmakers gave final approval to a big tax package Thursday.
The plan raises $27 million by increasing income taxes on top earners, sales taxes on soda and candy, and meals and cigarette taxes. Wednesday, Gov. Peter Shumlin, D-Vermont, said he'd find a tall building to jump off before seeing tax hikes signed into law. But Democrats pushed the plan through and House Republicans say they'll stand with the governor to stop the tax hikes.
"We want to save the governor (laugh), we save the governor, all he needs to do is veto the bill and he doesn't have to jump out the window," said Rep. Don Turner, R-Milton.
Shumlin won't say if he will veto the plan if it wins approval in the Senate.
Vt. House Minority Leader Turner says Republicans do have the votes to block the majority from overriding a potential veto.

The Bills new, high-powered offense

|Joma---you are screwing the pooch or as the saying goes like a monkey F*#king a football! They scored under 20 against the Browns and the Phins and won both games. 5 turnovers against the Yikes kept the scoring down and they still scored 14. They are moving the chains and keeping the other teams offense off the field, this despite multiple injuries on the O-line. Fitz gives the whole team a different attitude and Chan has slowly changed the culture of the team from a team that knew they had a slight chance of winning to a team that doesn't give up and is starting to believe in itself.
I know that over the last 11 years that we have had very little to cheer about. Who knows where the new regime will eventually take us but for now we are grasping at the little signs of improvement and hoping for better days a head. When those days come we will surely appreciate them knowing how hard it has been to get there...

One thing I want to talk to you guys about is a camp I go to every year. It's called Camp Cotubic. It's a hematology/oncology camp for patients of Columbus Children's Hospital.
I started going last year and it's so much fun. We swim in the lake, go down a huge slide, we go on boats (but you have to wear a life vest), we stay in cabins with bunkbeds and you have to bring your sleeping bag and pillow. It truly is a camping experience.
One cool thing about it is that it has a clinic there. It's called the infirmary. It's a place where you can take your medication and if you get sick, they provide you with care. They have a lot of healthcare stuff. This is important because a lot of the kids that go are still sick and not necessarily healthy, like me. Although I still have to take medication, I'm healthy.
The camp is not only for patients. Doctors go too, and they are fun and silly. You get to see a side of them that you don't get to see in the hospital. There's also activities like bungee jumping, hiking, and a huge party in the cafeteria. They order pizza for our camp too!
I think the camp is important to get sickness off kids' minds so that they can have fun and not always be on edge. I think that all hospitals should do it for their sick kids. (You can search a list of children's hospital camps on the NACHRI Web site.)
I will be in a cabin with about 7 other girls and the counselors are mostly nurses. This year, I would like to tell them about my trip to Washington. Who knows, they might be picked to go next!
I can't wait to go, but it will be tiring this year, since it is right after my trip to Disneyland for Make A Wish Foundation!
I have a busy summer ahead of me, as you can tell. I'm sad to say these are my last few blogs, so stay tuned for my final days! Peace and may God bless.

|Song lyrics
As I roved out walking one evening last May
A charming young damsel I met on my way
She had jewellery and riches,
she had diamonds and gold
And she said she was a virgin,
only nineteen years old
I quickly fell in love with this beautiful dame
I asked where she came from, and she told me that same
In three weeks we were married,
and the church bells, they tolled
I was married to a virgin,
only nineteen years old
On awakening next morning,
I thought I would faint
When she scraped from her two cheeks a full pound of paint
And on her left shoulder a hump I behold
"Oh," sayd I, "You're a daisy, only nineteen years old?"
She pulled out her fingers 'til she left only three
She screwed off her right leg right over the knee
She pulled off her false wig,
her bald head I behold
Oh good God Almighty,
only nineteen years old
She pulled out her eyebrow which was black and sublime
She pulled out her false teeth which was only nine
She pulled out her glass eye,
on the carpet it rolled
Oh bad luck and damnation to your nineteen years old
Now all you young fellas,
when for marriage you go
Examine your true love from the top to the toe
And if you don't do that,
like me you'll be sold
To a damsel not nineteen, but a ninety year old

Driver, 18, and 15-year-old girl passenger in hospital after Crooklands collision
Updated 2:24pm Sunday 15th December 2013 in News By Ellis Butcher, Reporter
TWO teenagers are in hospital today recovering from head and chest injuries after a collision last night on the A65.
An 18-year-old male driver and a 15-year-old female passenger were injured after an accident near Millness at Crooklands at around midnight.
The pair were taken to the Royal Preston Hospital by paramedics although their condition has stabilised over night, said police this morning.
Both were in a green Vauxhall Corsa and are said to be from the local area.
The 18-year-old driver was described by police as initially having serious chest and head injuries, while his passenger had serious head injuries.
Police said the incident also involved a 52-year-old woman, also from the Kendal area, who was driving a blue Vauxhall Safira. It is not known if she suffered any injuries.
The accident shut the A65 for nearly five hours and local fire crews and paramedics from the North West Ambulance Service were involved in helping the casualties.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact PC 1470 Davies of South Roads Policing Unit, who is investigating what happened. He can be contacted by calling Cumbria Police on 101.
Police are keen to hear from anyone who saw the collision or the vehicles in the area prior to it happening.
Confidential information can be given by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Elsewhere in the county last night, police had issued an appeal for drivers to be aware of extremely high winds over Shap and the M6.
A number of trees had also come down in high winds along the west coast of Cumbria on the A596 near Maryport, the B5305 at Sedbergham and A595 near Thursby.

New exhibition "Stream of Consciousness" by New York artist Jonny Detiger
Las Vegas, NV – October 19, 2011 — Brett Wesley Gallery is celebrating the opening exhibition of Stream of Consciousness featuring Dutch artist/designer Jonny Detiger. Opening and artist reception will be Thursday November 3, 2011 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at 1112 S. Casino Center Blvd. This event is free to the public. The artist will also be available for meet & greet on First Friday for 6-9pm. The exhibition will run through November 26, 2011.
In the hands of New York artist Jonny Detiger, conversations, chance encounters, thoughts and projections merge into a happy, delirious stream of consciousness strewn across the canvas. Through a mix of paintings and moving sculptures this work explores human interactions through a kaleidoscope of iconic imagery, text, color and light.
Jonny Detiger is an artist and designer who through his work, has explored the understanding and communication of the human condition of happiness. Through the use of shape, sound, smell and color he designs living art environments that heighten this positive state of mind.
Detiger received his degree in Industrial Management from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh. He is a Dutch, self-taught artist that lives and works in New York City. He has been painting and designing since the early 90's and has collectors from Spain, Holland, Norway, Germany, and through out the United States.
"I believe that art = living and living = art. I think you should infuse all aspects of life with the same passion and creativity as making art," comments Jonny.
Brett Wesley Gallery holds art receptions once a month on the Thursday just prior to the First Friday of the month at 1112 S. Casino Center Blvd. on the corner of Charleston Blvd. The gallery building itself is a nod to mid-century modernism, urban chic and classic American roadside architecture.
What makes Brett Wesley Gallery distinctive is its selection of stunning works by emerging and established painters, photographers, and sculptors from Las Vegas and around the world. Owner Brett Wesley Sperry states "Our primary goal is to show works of art that are bold, relevant, and well-crafted across several media and ultimately expand the visual dialog among collectors and artists. Brett Wesley Gallery is a place to celebrate the arts and share knowledge with art collectors, fans and artists alike. And each month, whether you love what we're showing or not, there will always be something here that's memorable and worthy of discussion".
