No. 4 Michigan thwarts Penn State upset bid
The Wolverines (22-4, 9-4 Big Ten) had dropped three of their previous four games, including a 23-point loss Tuesday night on the road against No. 8 Michigan State, and needed a half to shake off their slump.
The Nittany Lions (8-17, 0-13) led by as many as eight points in the first half. Penn State's Jermaine Marshall and Sasa Borovnjak each scored 17 points.

FINAL: Glenn Robinson III tied a career-high with 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lift No. 4 Michigan to a 79-71 win over Penn State on Sunday at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor. Trey Burke had a big game too, with 29 points, three rebounds and five assists. Trailing 30-25 with 2:24 left in the first half, Michigan went on a 13-2 run to seize a six-point advantage with 17:56 in the game. The Wolverines shot 47 percent from the field (23-of-49) and 77 percent from the free-throw line (27-of-35). More Michigan scoring came from Nik Stauskas (18 points). Sasa Borovnjak contributed 17 points, grabbed four rebounds, contributed three assists, and made 7-of-9 shots from the floor for Penn State (8-17) in the game.
Impressed with Penn State's effort today at Michigan. Nittany Lions will be tough in 13-14 with additions of Tim Frazier + John Johnson.—
Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) February 17, 2013
#Wolverines escape – but I think it's fair to be concerned about their defense. Last 5 games have largely been a struggle on that end.—
Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) February 17, 2013
Burke, Robinson, and Stauskas are shooting a combined 19-for-29. The rest of the team is 3-for-17 from the field.—
Ace Anbender (@AceAnbender) February 17, 2013
Penn State's performance today much more impressive than Thursday's close loss to Iowa, but looking like it will end the same way.—
(@JeffRice247) February 17, 2013
Penn State is within 6 at Michigan with under 4 to play, which everybody totally expected.—
Adam Jacobi (@Adam_Jacobi) February 17, 2013
Penn St is playing its guts out, sure. But Michigan's defensive woes aren't going away. Wolverines finally up 67-58 with 4:16 left.—
Bob Wojnowski (@bobwojnowski) February 17, 2013
Man, it's tough not to be impressed with #NitanyLions resolve. One thing I've noticed doing their games – always, always give great effort—
Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) February 17, 2013
Michigan can't shake Penn State — stuff we didn't think we'd be tweeting.—
Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) February 17, 2013
This is the best Robinson III has looked in a while. At 15 points, most point for him since 20 pts against Iowa on Jan. 6—
Michael Rothstein (@mikerothstein) February 17, 2013
Robinson picks up loose ball, drives the hoop ith 12:44 left and fouled… Robinson's 15 points most since Jan. 6—
Mark Snyder (@Mark__Snyder) February 17, 2013
Glen Robinson III with 12 points – 8 on dunks, I think – has bounced back from poor performance to help #Michigan lead PSU by 8 mid 2nd half—
Larry Lage (@LarryLage) February 17, 2013
Jon Horford starting the second half for Michigan.—
Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) February 17, 2013
HALFTIME: No. 4 Michigan ended the first half on a 7-2 run to tie Penn State, 32-32, at halftime. The Nittany Lions led most of the half despite Jermaine Marshall and D.J. Newbill, the team's two leading scorers, each drawing two early fouls. Newbill ended the half with three fouls. Trey Burke scored 14 points to lead the Wolverines, who also received eight points from a previously slumping Glenn Robinson III. Marshall led the Nittany Lions with nine points, while Ross Travis added seven and six rebounds.
I think Pat Chambers just picked up his 2nd foul.—
Josh and Mike (@bigtengeeks) February 17, 2013
Penn State playing three walk-ons at the same time and still winning on the road against Michigan. Ok.—
Ben Jones (@Ben_Jones88) February 17, 2013
Premature stat from @BTNStatsGuy: #PennState has never beaten a top 5 team in a true road game.—
Brent Yarina (@BTNBrentYarina) February 17, 2013
Tim Hardaway, Jr. hits a bucket at the 8:23 mark. That's the first FG by a Michigan player not named Trey Burke—
Andy Reid (@AReid_Wolverine) February 17, 2013
Trey Burke is 3-3. The rest of Michigan is 0-7 from the field.—
Michael Rothstein (@mikerothstein) February 17, 2013
Penn State's players, coaches may be only ones who believe they can beat Michigan (up 14-9 mid 1st) but they're fired up for 1st Big Ten win—
Larry Lage (@LarryLage) February 17, 2013
Two fouls on Newbill and Marshall. That's bad news for Penn State.—
Dylan Burkhardt (@umhoops) February 17, 2013
Interesting. A little full court zone by Penn State. Different strategy to try and slow Michigan down a bit.—
Michael Rothstein (@mikerothstein) February 17, 2013
LeVert playing some very impressive on-ball defense early on in this one.—
Ace Anbender (@AceAnbender) February 17, 2013
Trey Burke already with 7 points, he's ready — again.—
Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) February 17, 2013
Just like #Huskers last night, #Michigan's throwback uni looks great. Really like the old waistbands. #uniformobsessed—

The Goole water tower in numbers
The water tower in Goole is a very well known landmark in the town but it can be difficult to appreciate the scale of the structure. Here are some statistics:
- The tower holds 3.4m litres of water (enough to fill 1½ Olympic swimming pools)
- The structure is around 50 metres tall (165 feet)
- It supplies the entire population of Goole, estimated at 19,360 people.
- Almost a mile of scaffolding was needed to reach the top.
- The repairs will cost around £420,000

Watch for Sale:
Citizen Eco-Drive
World Timer BLUE BJ9031-58L with Sapphire Crystal
Discontinued and sold out, sorry!
Great knurled and big crown like on the Eco-Drive Toughs! - When I got these great pics from my Hong Kong assistant, I wanted to keep one for myself ... sigh ... now I wish I had less watches in my collection. But these Eco Drive World Timers are simply beautiful watches! On the blue Model I love the combination of the blue dial and the green frames around the indices. It makes it look very fresh and will complement the green lume in low light condition perfectly. This blue Model has great utilitarian or Diver looks!
Side shot from the Blue Model, all satin brushed case and bracelet
There is little bit of dust and probably glue residue on the clasp, I will of course wipe this off before shipping the watch! Those "stains" on stainless steel can be removed easily and safely with
HOW TO remove "stains" from satin brushed watches (DO NOT APPLY THIS TO POLISHED SURFACES)
· Test with lower pressure on the inside of the bracelet first and then check with a 10x loupe to see how the micro lines look at large magnification!
· Always follow the line of the original brushing
· Always interrupt your work and check with the loupe about the progress
· Always only pull the tool, never push it
· Try to pull as straight as possible if the original brush is straight - never rub in circles!
· Be very carful on cases and bezels, you can scratch a mineral crystal using the tools below!
· On cases you might want to leave the scratches or hairlines if they are not grave. a watch case is far more sensitive to "advertise" refurbishing attempts due to its curvature. because of that curvature light will fall in from all angles and you have to work a lot more carefully in order to make your refurbishment perfect. an additional restriction is, that you can not reach all the parts on the watch case equally well.
The Tools you will need, not much and probably already in your house hold!

While the Seahawks have never been my favorite team, I've taken a much bigger interest in them ever since they added Justin Forsett. However With the addition of Marshawn I've been checking this site regularly. Now, i mainly post week to week and player specific highlights for California Golden Blogs and wanted to share with you Marshawn in college. First off i didn't make these video but a old member did , They contain the "Marshawn Lynch beast mode" song, It can be a little vulgar so if you don't want to hear it i advise you to mute.
Now I've read a lot about " how will marshawn fair in the zone blocking scheme", he will be just fine. A majority of marshawns runs at Cal were out of the zone scheme. He has great vison allowing him to make that quick direction change to cut it back.
Another knock I've heard was speed. At Cal as a freshman he was FAST Im talking maybe 4.38-4.4 fast as you will see in the video, But as years went on he bulked up and thats when he started to "Beast Mode".
He NEVER had any off the field issues at Cal, and then, boom, trouble in Buffalo. This is the things that only Marshawn knows, one things thats sure is that he id a huge family man and does what he needs to for his family.
One thing to Remember the bills O-Line was TERRIBLE, I bought NFL sunday ticket last year so me and my friend could watch the Bills and Falcons game, So i watched a lot of Marshawn. The line is as bad as advertised so keeping a 4.0 Rush average is fairly impressive.
Anyway enjoy the highlights, If you have any Marshawn questions ask I've been following him since his freshman year at Cal.
Good luck this week!

A five piece band from Birmingham, Kastella are a culmination of influences, ranging from Rock to Indie to Soul. These various genres then come together to create an energy and excitement, that is only exceeded by their live performances.
The tight, funk-based, groove of Kastella largely lies with the foundation of drums (Jake Hudson) and bass (Jay Stevens). The guitars (Mal Bradd and Daniel Taylor) then add colour and ambiance to their sound, of which is then given context and emotion via their provocative vocal arrangements (Jack Newbold).

Emma Watson Dating Scott Pilgrim's Young Neil, Are You Shocked?
By Mack Rawden 2011-08-05 16:06:25
Ive lived through a lot of crazy, unexpected relationships. I saw Julia Roberts marry Lyle Lovett, Woody Allen take up with Mia Farrows daughter and the United States become butt buddies with Japan after Pearl Harbor. The ways of love are mysterious. I know this, but I still have to admit I am shocked by this new couple. It seems Emma Watson has taken a liking to and been photographed kissing Johnny Simmons. The latter half of that sentence probably doesnt mean anything to you; so, let me restate. Hermione Granger has been making out with Young Neil from Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. Talk about swinging for the fences. Well played, Johnny.
Heres how this whole thing reportedly went down. Watson and Simmons met on the set of Perks Of Being A Wallflower. She had a lead role as the films principal female Sam; he had a supporting part playing Brad. The two were later seen hiking together, but she denied there was any sort of romance going down. Lies! Then, earlier this week, paparazzi caught the pair again, this time kissing and then sharing a meal in Santa Monica. According to People, Watson is still aiming to spend the school year at Oxford; so, it seems likely this relationship could naturally run its course.
Even if it does, how happy must Johnny Simmons be with himself right now? Remember that scene in 500 Days Of Summer where Joseph Gordon-Levitt struts around town with the confidence of a man who just got somewhere with his dream girl? I guarantee hes been living that out since the first time he kissed her.
In all fairness to Emma Watson, Im sure she wasnt duped here. Johnny Simmons is a pretty solid actor, and hes probably a hell of a conversationalist. Still, Im blown away. What do you think? Are you shocked by this couple? Vote in the poll below and let us know what you think
Are You Shocked By This Couple?

FITCHBURG, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A former sex education teacher at the North Central Charter Essential School in Fitchburg was indicted Friday amid allegations that she engaged in a sexual relationship with an underage student.
Rachelle Gendron, 27, of Fitchburg, is charged with one count of enticement of a child under the age of 16 and five counts of aggravated rape by age difference.
Investigators allege Gendron had a relationship with the teen between Oct. 2012 and March 2013 while working at the charter school. Gendron is also accused of sending the victim nude photos of herself.
A judge set bail at $2,000 Friday.
The charter school where Gendron previously worked released a statement Saturday, saying they took immediate action upon learning of the allegations made against the 27-year-old.
"The North Central Charter Essential School's highest priority is the safety and well-being of our students and we are both shocked and concerned by the allegations against the former employee in question," reads the statement. "Upon first learning of those allegations, we took prompt and appropriate action consistent with the best interests of our students, which included swiftly terminating the individual and fully cooperating with law enforcement authorities investigating this matter. Until this matter is resolved, however, we cannot offer further comment."

Please help!!
I want to invite a friend to my family tree.
When I try I only find family members to invite. How can I send an invitation to someone outside my tree?
Hope to get information about this.
Regards Britt
I am a new convert to MyHeritage from FTM so forgive me for being a bit of a FTB numpty.
I am wanting to print .jpg images of ancestor and descendant reports as the tree owner so that I can embed them in my own family history web site. I would like to only display the birth year for any living person, but as the web master, I get the full birth date. I cannot find how to (or if indeed I can) do this.
Any help would be appreciated
You could use the birth year, with the actual date as a 'private' (check the box) NOTE in the person's "card".
Not exactly what you asked for but might be the only way.
Those 'private notes' are really handy, I use them a lot.
Thanks Geoff,
I'll have a look at that and see if it works...
Or enter your wife (friend, made up name, whatever) as a plain ordinary member not the webmaster, and maybe the details on 'their' My Heritage site would be useful to you. Perhaps the made up name would be best because they would not show as a relative and would not get confidential stuff....??? Dunno.
(You need an e-mail address, I think not yours, to add them as a MEMBER not just a person in your tree; but (your wife, a friend...) would probably have a different address to you; or you could start one on yahoo, gmail, whatever, for your made up person... I use yahoo...)
In Family Tree Builder choose Person (on top of the page...) then Add Unrelated Person...
Anyway, ideas.
On the home page, there is a "What's Next Section" One of the items is labeled "Get the most out of your MyHeritage.com family site". Below that is a horizontal bar and verbiage that says my cite is 83% complete.
What exactly does 83% complete mean. How can I find outwhat is incomplete?
Rex Avery
You don't actually say what your e-mail is about, likely you just want to start a conversation with the owner of the tree which includes many of your relations, and share information.
When you get SmartMatches to people in the tree you could try:
first, check out the Smart Matches, comparing every detail. You will fill in lots of stuff you did not know, include more family members in the tree, and even perhaps correct some incorrect information;
and contact the owners of the other trees with the SmartMatches and start a conversation with THEM.
Have fun,
Hur markerar jag i släktträdet att personer är halvsyskon? Mitt exempel:
Kvinna hade en ungdomsförbindelse med en mann, detta resulterade i ett barn no1. Kvinnan och mannen gifte sig senare på vart sitt håll och fick barn på vart sitt håll. Barn no1 blir således halvsyskon till alle barna, både mannens och hans hustru som han gifte sig med, och kvinnan med den mann hon gifte sig med. Alle personer umgås idag och vill vara med i släktträdet.
Hilsen Björn
I would like to know if I can set this up so that a password is required for enterering my site or to access certain files?
Thank you Marlene
Dear Mrs.Leithwood,
Thank you for your post here on the forum.
Unfortunately we do not provide this option due to the fact that the idea of the family site is to share information amongst your family members and those that you trust and invite to become members of your family site.
You do however have the option to adjust your family site privacy settings to best suite your needs.
This can be done by logging into your online family site and moving your mouse cursor over your name in the upper right hand corner of the screen. A menu will drop down and you will need to click on "My Privacy". Here you will have the option to adjust your family site privacy settings for My Member preferences, Access and content.
I hope this has proven useful to you.
Kind Regards,
MyHeritage Team.
Your tree appears to be FTB based, this means that you can only edit your FTB tree (that is the one in the Family Tree Builder program) ... at least unless you synchronize online tree and FTB tree.
Regards, fps
Could you explain that a bit more simply for me?
How can I edit my FTB tree?
Should I synchronise my online tree & FTB tree? (I didn't even realise that I had two trees!) & if yes than how do I do that?
Sorry to sound so stupid. I have memory problems & as it is some time since I las visited MyHeritage I think I've just forgotten how to work it!
I really appreciate you replying to my question.
Thank you
Hm, where should I start my explanation? Let's try like this:
I visited your website where your tree is published. On the start page I saw that your tree has been published via FTB, "Patricia Stevenson published a new version of the Tricia_Stevenson family tree from the Family Tree Builder" (March 24). That means that you must have created your tree using the offline Family Tree Builder software and the published your tree to your website? At least this is what is says.
This is also reflected in the appearance of your tree, the " " signs below the person cards are missing, and thus you cannot edit your tree online.
Have a look into your FTB files - there must be some, otherwise you would not have been able to publish your tree via FTB. And also you should look whether your FTB software is updated to the latest version.
The most recent versions of FTB have a synchronization feature included. When you start FTB you are asked whether you want to synchronize your FTB to your online tree. Once you have done the synchronization then you will be able to edit both online and offline trees.
I hope this was helpful for you.
How do I uninstall MyHeritage?
Thank you.
Open Programs and Features by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clickingPrograms and Features.
Select a program, and then click Uninstall. Some programs include the option to change or repair the program in addition to uninstalling it, but many simply offer the option to uninstall. To change a program, click Change or Repair. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Hoping this has proven useful to you.
How can I change a photo in the family tree?
Dear Mrs.Ellefsen,
To assist you with your inquiry about the changing of a photo within the family tree, please take a look at the following two links. These will show you both how to do this within the online family site and also the Family Tree Builder Software.
Hoping these have proven useful to you.

717 News reporting from Harrisburg, PA
Since the Penn State scandal began last November, Central Pennsylvania has been covered by a cloud of bullcrap. While Penn Staters across the country have been affected, according to meteorologists, social scientists, and other experts, Central Pennsylvanians have perhaps been the hardest hit among people not directly involved with the scandal.
"The effects are awful for those people," said Dr. Cathy So-and-so of So-and-so Research Institute. "We haven't quite figured everything out, but it's really, really, crappy. The emotional and, to a lesser extent, physical discomfort caused by being constantly surrounded by a cloud of bullcrap is nearly devastating. From our studies, the residents of Central Pennsylvania seem to be in a constantly shifting state. They can be literally lonesome, ornery, and mean, or they can just be in a kind of emotional place where their only joy is from listening to the song Lonesome, On'ry and Mean. And, l mean, I like that song, but it's just not healthy for a person to be constantly listening to it."
Scientists are also concerned by what is an increasingly common phenomenon in the region: bullcrap rain.
Local weather observers in northern Dauphin County noticed on Tuesday that the rain in their area was "oddly smelling and slightly brown."
"It's coming!", screamed Dr. Mousey Anonymous. "I can't possibly pretend to be a detached scientists when the idea of bullcrap rain is coming to fruition! Rivers filled with bullcrap! Roads clogged with bullcrap! Buy bottled water now! Buy it all!"
Penn State fan Central Pennsylvanians were not as frightened as Anonymous. Jtothep of Waynesboro seems a typical case with his pithy quote: "Joe survived bullcrap for years so I'm not scared."
ReadingRambler of Biglerville, on the other hand, was the most explosive person interviewed.
"I'm sick and tired of this bullcrap! I'm so sick and tired of it and I'm sick and freaking tired of the way this freaking bullcrap has me used to its existence, to its constant hovering over my head! This is crap! This is God dang crap! I'm tired of this. Just think about the crap I put up with. Heck, the crap we all put up with because we're all living with this. Even the idiots who wear their Notre Dame or Ohio State garbage here know they're living in Pennsylvania. Where was I? First, a man I respect is accused of that horrible stuff that he was accused of. Then Paterno is fired which, well, hell, enough said! Then Mr. BoT spokesman guy guy - and he's no good robot for sure because robots are actually useful - well, anyway, he comes out there and he's saying crap, like, uh, like: 'Oh, we don't need no damned evidence because of, um, stuff. So we fired him! Neener neener!' All right, so that happened. Then the media was like, 'Well, we still won't shut up because we're douchebags!' So they didn't shut up because they are douchebags. Until now, they've shut up now because it don't make no more money for them or some crap. I don't care anymore. Anyway, and now this coaching search crap becomes totally insane and I show up at my favorite blog and they've got some guy talking about Bo Pelini! Bo Pelini! BO PELINI! That guy went to Ohio State! Ohio State is the definition of crap and Nebraska smells like crap! And then Joyner said something, but I don't remember because I was posting pictures of the middle finger while I was actually thinking about giving the middle finger to a relative who said something snide about Joe. Yeah, my redneck relative, he's like, 'Oh, blah blah snide comment ha ha ha I'm so funny.' And I say, 'Jesus, take me away from this wicked generation! And, as for you, person, you go and listen to Hank Williams, Junior, you freaking insufferable redneck hack.' I'm sure that's not what Jesus would say, but, man, this is crap. This is all crap and I'm tired of it! There aren't enough country-western songs in the world to make up for this crap! At least I still have my Dad to keep things in perspective."
"It's all bullcrap, and it's bad, but bullcrap happens," said ReadingRambler's father. "I have to say that TicketCity is a really stupid name for a bowl. What the crap is that? Anyway, I still have to go to my crappy job tomorrow morning."
Many other Central Pennsylvanians seem to be taking more positive stances.
Chakey Stoltszfus of Bird-in-Hand stressed the possible agricultural value of the bullcrap. "If the bullcrap rains in the spring, it could help our tobacco crap. Did I say crap? I meant crop."
"Yeah, I guess I could use it in my fields." said, James Germanlastname of Elliottsburg, who was less optimistic than Mr. Stoltzfus, but still saw some brightness.
"But, at the same time, it's still a bunch of freaking bullcrap. I was never a Penn State fan, but the cloud has my wife and I in a persistent state of light blues. We've managed, at the very least, to make it something which brings us together, but there can be no denying the fact that we've listened - together - to Sunday Morning Coming Down before bed every night for the past three weeks. I don't know why we do it. It just feels right. It's like the only thing that seems appropriate for the bullcrap up there."
Finally, Noah [Redacted] of Harrisburg took the bullcrap as a reason to make what he considers a step forward. Writing on his Twitter feed which may or may not exist, [Redacted] said, "No more bullcrap cloud for me! buckeyes, baby!"
To date, scientists are unsure how the bullcrap affects outsiders to the region. Interim Penn State head coach Tom Notactually-Tombradley shared an anecdote on the subject.
"I know it sounds sleazy, but we were hoping that Meyer wouldn't be able to get to the game in Hershey. We thought that maybe the bullcrap cloud would stop his plane or something. But apparently the bullcrap cloud has a kind of way of feeling who's entering it. It felt Meyer's presence entering and said to itself, 'Hey, I know that guy. He's all right.' The staff and I, we got a nice laugh out of that even if we did lose the kid."

PUREAIDE provides educational opportunity for needy and disadvantaged children in Canada, Ghana and Jamaica
The PUREAIDE project is a registered non-profit organization under the Canadian Income Tax Act with a mission to alleviating poverty through increasing access to Education.
Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource. John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
Children are the future however that future is in jeopardy because many children do not have access to education.
Many parents can hardly meet the basic needs to feed, clothe and shelter their children so often children are forced to drop out of school to support themselves.
Education is the source of knowledge and many are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Many children denied the opportunity to basic education often perpetuate a cycle of poverty and social ills as the pattern of need and lack of education is repeated from one generation to the next.
Access to education provides a way for children and needy parents to break the cycle.
PUREAIDE is commited to breaking the cycle of poverty by partnering with organizations and individuals like you to help to provide financial and material support for needy and disadvantaged children in our communities.
PUREAIDE provides educational grants and scholarships to needy children to enable them to break the cycle of poverty.

Well, it's Thanksgiving. If you're like me and stuck with your family and bored out of your gourd and have nothing else better to do then chime in. I'll be watching games, but not really excited about any of them. It won't be long though before Andrew Luck and company will be a major draw and the Colts will be back on Turkey Day.
I came across this article yesterday on ESPN and thought I'd share it. Here's the link: http://espn.go.com/blog/afcsouth Basically a reporter asks Bruce Arians what he's thankful for and this is what he had to say:
From a transcript provided by the team:
With Thanksgiving being tomorrow what are you thankful for?
"Oh gosh. I'm thankful for the Pittsburgh Steelers letting me go to be here. Truthfully, I couldn't think of a better place to be at this point in time and to have felt more needed probably in my entire life. So, thank you, Pittsburgh."
Well I'm thankful for you too B.A.! I can't think of a better p[lace for you to be too. And I'm thankful for Jim Irsay and the balls it took to take a risk and get this team on track for a glorious future!

text: Now I know the Heat should get most of the calls, but lets be honest, how does Melo get absolutely no respect from the Refs when he goes to the basket? This isn't some scrub, this is one of the best offensive players in the NBA and yet he doesn't get the clear cut calls he should, while the crybabies get to the line for a little bump. Even Chalmers is getting more respect than Melo. This entire series has been very 1 sided with the whistles, and not that it would change the outcome, but it definitely makes the series interesting.

With its record-breaking haul over the weekend, we're not likely going to stop hearing about the "Man of Steel" sequel or Warner Bros.' plans for the DC cinematic universe. As part of the reboot's victory lap, writer David S. Goyer stopped by for a chat with Empire to clarify where things stand with the studio's game plan.
During his interview on the magazine's podcast, Goyer gave credence to the long-standing speculation that the Zack Snyder-helmed film is acting not only as a reboot for the once-ailing franchise but also a reset-button on the rest of the DC cinematic universe as a whole, saying the film "would be the starting point for introducing other characters and ultimately, obviously Warner Brothers hopes there will be a 'Justice League' film and perhaps you might start seeing other characters appearing in each other's films. I think in some ways they're interested in going perhaps the opposite direction that Marvel has done which may be to do a group film and then spin off."
Indeed, there are at least six DC world characters teased already in "Man of Steel" (if you're paying close attention), so the building blocks are starting to emerge. It's a move that makes the most sense for Warner Bros. and with "The Avengers 2" hitting theaters in 2015 and the "Man of Steel" sequel likely still a couple years off, it lets the studio hit the ground running. Off course, there's still the matter of having no script for the team-up film, but we're sure Goyer will be sitting down at the keyboard once his press duties are finished.
Listen to the Empire podcast below and give Warner Bros. your pitches for "Justice League" below.
Tom | August 17, 2013 6:59 PM
They could do it, but I don't think Man of Steel should be an example of 'Justice League material' there was barely any 'heroism' at all! Also didn't notice alot of the DC references - a whole buncha Marvel ones though - Lonely Hulk, Thor vs Destroyer, Doc Oc style tentacles, and massive blue energy beacon, over influenced much?
Man it would be great to be able to send ideas to studios sometimes, my concept for a movie would be Brandon Routh's Superman, basically a Superman/ Shazam-meets-Justice League's animated show episode 'Paradise Lost'.
Nic Kramer | June 20, 2013 9:07 AM
Warners was never good at doing movie plans. Wish they got Bruce and Paul as consultants for these films. They may work on animation but they always seemed to know how these characters worked more than these movie producers and in some cases, the comic editers.
PSOL | June 19, 2013 2:36 PM
This looks like a train wreck. the only way i see this working if that for their next film if it be Man of steel 2 they should introduce Lex and Wayne. the only 2 people with enough money to rebuild the city. they should also have Wayne go after Lois to get that tension stirring between Wayne and Clark. World's Finest i believe if done correctly can do better than avengers if done right. but they are blowing it buy making a JL movie too soon. they'll get my money but only once. After that i think i may just get a bootleg version to watch. the fans want Justice league but what they want as well is a great movie.
Patrick Bayard | June 19, 2013 8:07 AM
Making the Justice League without lead in solo films is yet another mistake the studio is making along with not combining Man of Steel with The Dark Knight movies. I simply don't understand the logic in any of this. They would turn down the opportunity for an epic team up just so they don't do it the way that Marvel has? The way to make it unique from Marvel is to do it BETTER than Marvel. If not having an origin story does not make a difference, then why did they do a Man of Steel movie at all?
Sam | June 19, 2013 1:09 AM
Goyer is the weak link within the Nolan-Snyder-Goyer team. The tone and goal for Man of Steel was intriguing, the visuals and action were amazing, but the story and dialogue were cringe-worthy at times. At most he should be relegated to an 'ideas' guy he shouldn't be allowed to touch the screenplay. I want so bad for the Superman franchise to be successful and meaningful and that's not going to happen if this hack keeps penning the scripts.
fail league | June 19, 2013 12:18 AM
was pretty excited about a new dc universin for film and potential justice league, after watching man of steel and seeing this news, I'm not really excited, I am actually against it. The way they are doing things are going to ruin it, and it's painful to see. Man of Steel wasn't bad, but at the same time it isn't a great movie at all, just "passable".
spirit equality | June 18, 2013 3:59 PM
*three other massively powered beings AND a presumptive inclusion of Flash and Bats.
spirit equality | June 18, 2013 3:58 PM
I don't think there should be a Justice League.
I'd be satisfied with some guest appearances across films, a la Black Widow in Iron Man 2.
After seeing the destruction of Metropolis, I'm not trying to see the CGI massacre that would ensue if you also add in Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman and a comparable villain that could fight the five of them. And who would that be? Darkseid? It's hard enough to come up with a villain that could believably fight Superman toe to toe, let alone Superman in combination with three other massively powered beings a presumptive inclusion of Flash and Bats.
If DC is smart, they'll go with World's Finest instead. A Superman/Batman movie will get as much business as a Justice League film, without creating the logistical nightmare of trying to craft an antagonist who could fight Superman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman at once.
Rob | June 18, 2013 12:31 PM
This sounds like those dozen studio flops Steven Spielberg projected would implode Hollywood.

The Narragansett High School nurse was placed on administrative leave after
Charlestown Police say they found her in possession of heroin.
Now, the Rhode Island Department of Health has suspended her license as a registered nurse indefinitely pending further orders.
Police and EMS responded to a medical emergency call back on March 13
where they found Lynn A. Magnusen, of Charlestown, in her car in a
parking lot. Officers say she refused medical attention at first, and
after investigating, say they found heroin on her.
She was charged with heroin possession and later released on personal recognizance. She's due back in court next month.
Superintendent of Schools Katherine Sipala said Magnusen was placed
on administrative leave on March 17 and a substitute nurse was hired for
the rest of the school year.

President Yoweri Museveni has urged the government of India to open up its market to Ugandan products and give them Tax incentives saying there is an imbalance of trade with Uganda buying more from India than India buys from Uganda.
He said reciprocal trade is one of the most dynamic ways of strengthening relations, adding that Uganda has a lot of milk and milk products that it can export to India.
The President was meeting the Indian Minister for external affairs Hon. Salman Khurshi who paid a courtesy call on him at Entebbe State House.
The Indian Minister who is in Uganda for a conference of all their ambassadors currently taking place in Uganda was accompanied by the Indian High Commissioner to Uganda S.N. Ray, the Director General for Africa Affairs Ravi Bangar, the Vice Minister Sudhir Vyas and the Director General in the Foreign Office Sanjay Sudhir.
The Meeting was also attended by Uganda's Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa and the Uganda High Commissioner to India Nimisha Madhivani.
The President said Uganda has a deficit in infrastructure and urged India for support in infrastructure development to boost economic development especially in the areas of electricity, roads, railway and agriculture machinery. The President commended India for their interest in supporting the Uganda government in the construction of Isimba power dam.
He called for the private sector in India to invest in agriculture machinery for hire in Uganda where farmers can hire the machinery to make farming easier and to engage in agro-processing.

Brand New Two-Month Forecast for Mortgage Ratesby Tim Manni
On a bi-monthly basis, HSH.com releases their Two-Month Forecast for Mortgage Rates. In each forecast, we review our previous prediction — evaluating the circumstances that caused rates to do what they did — and we examine current factors and conditions in order to forecast mortgage rates over the next nine weeks or so.
Each two-month forecast is made up of four parts: the preface, a recap of our previous prediction, the forecast discussion and finally the forecast itself. We'll do a short summary of each section here on the blog, but be sure to visit HSH.com to read our entire forecast.
Housing recovery remains dormant. Persistant struggles in overseas markets, the expiration of the homebuyer tax credit and the ongoing failure of the federal modification and refinance efforts continue to put downward pressures on mortgage rates.
This two-month forecast proved to be a humbling one. What we anticipated in May — "an improving outlook for the economy, and that the late-spring euro-panic would have settled behind us to some degree" — simply didn't happen.
Forecast Discussion
"As long as the employment market continues to be weak, housing will struggle to recover, and it doesn't appear that there is a political solution to promoting hiring in the near-term cards." Soft economic growth coupled with soft housing growth means that mortgage rates won't find too solid of a footing to increase substantially over the next two months.
By September, the summer doldrums will be over and a new season of activity will be upon us. Since we're starting out at a period of such low rates, it's even harder than last time to predict that rates will fall even lower:
That said, we have been wrong before, including last time, and we must acknowledge the possibility that even though at record lows that mortgage rates might move lower still.
The economy is weak, confidence is waning and there doesn't seem to be a viable solution to promoting recovery — except time. This suggests a slow-growth, low-rate period for the remainder of the summer.
Where exactly will rates move over the next two months? CLICK HERE to continue reading HSH.com's latest Two-Month Forecast for Mortgage Rates.

Windows 8 Convertible Devices: What is the Perfect Size?
I think many will agree when I say how excited I am about having one device which functions as both a laptop and tablet, running Windows 8 (not WinRT). Finally, one device for every situation, no need to decide which device to bring where, and no more concerns about syncing files. Everything on one drive (and backed up somewhere else, of course).
My biggest concern when considering which convertible/laplet/tabtop to purchase is:
What is the ideal size to fit both needs?
10-11 inches: The Microsoft Surface may be the best looking device yet. This size is great for general internet consumption or playing tablet games, but in my opinion, I can't imagine using such a tiny screen when trying to do actual work (Word, Excel, etc). This would be the device if this was the size I was looking for, but I think I'm ruling out anything 11" or less.
13 inches: Is this the sweet spot? Using 13" laptops still feels a bit claustrophobic to me, but it's certainly better than a 10-11" screen. Is a 13" screen large enough when doing actual work? Would a 13" tablet be too big?
14 inches: Ideal portable size for laptop if you want portability and some screen real estate, but a 14" tablet? Too much? Or perhaps a larger tablet will prove to be great?
15+ inches: I think you see where I'm going with this. I've always had a 15" laptop, but the thought of something that massive being held as a tablet … not so sure.
So what do you think? What's your ideal for a convertible device?
Bonus: What's the perfect convertible device so far, based on your size of choice?

Sergio's post just beneath this one, announcing the Blu-ray release of New Jack City got me thinking... now there's a movie that just doesn't hold up 21 years later! Although some would say that it didn't "hold up" during the year of its release!
Watching the 1991 film again today, I find myself laughing more often than not, even when there isn't supposed to be any humor.
But ahhh, I recall being VERY excited to see it during the year of its release 21 years ago, and eventually seeing it, and, I must say, really loving it back then! Although, I was in my mid-teens at the time.
I watch it today, and I'm wondering what exactly I saw in it the first time - what we all saw in it, since it went on to gross almost $50 million, on an $8 million budget; the 26th highest grossing movie of 1991, in a year that saw 345 releases.
How would it be received in 2012? I'd say, not well.
Worth noting is that John Singleton's debut, Boyz N The Hood, was also released that same year - the 23rd highest grossing movie of 1991. It's no wonder then that, with 2 so-called "hood movies" released in the same year (before the term entered the mainstream), earning a combined total of $110 million in box office grosses, life was given to the beginning of that early to mid-1990s period, when "black cinema" was so narrowly defined by similarly themed works.
In actuality, New Jack City was released a good 4 months before Boyz; so maybe the success of New Jack City helped Boyz at the box office. It's fair to say that we seem to credit the success of Boyz for launching the "hood movie" craze that soon followed; but it's possible that New Jack actually deserves that recognition - or at least, part of it!
But... as I stated, whatever appeal it had for me in 1991 simply no longer exists; certainly not as strongly as it initially. I guess it was just one of those films that came along at the right time, when we were hungry for that kind of content - during a time (1980s through 1990s) when drug usage and the so-called war on drugs were particularly fashionable.
The film is so cliche-filled (taking into consideration the fact that I'm watching it 21 years later); the acting is terrible in some parts; although, I'd say that I think Chris Rock's performance as a crackhead turned police informant is probably some of his best work ever! Seriously!
The snappy one-liners just sound really corny now, although they were probably GOLD back then.
The film plays almost like a 100-minute music video - the shallow portrayals of women, the cars, the bling, the machismo, the guns, the violence, and of course, the music; you can't forget about that soundtrack! I almost spit out the water in my mouth when Teddy Riley and the rest of group, Guy (remember them), were introduced in a night club scene, after which they performed New Jack City; Or when Keith Sweat (remember him) belted out several notes in a later sequence.
I'd forgotten so many moments from the movie, that seeing them all again was certainly amusing, but fondly so; because I remember the spirit of the times in which the film was made and released.
Also worth noting is Traci Camilla Johns (in what would be her last role, until recently anyway), as Uniqua, the stripper. She gets naked once or twice, and has quite a sex scene with Wesley Snipes' Nino Brown drug kingpin - reminiscent of her work in She's Gotta Have It. I do remember wondering back then, why 5 years after her starring role in Spike's debut, she wasn't doing more *interesting* work, instead of having to play a bit part as a stripper who gets tossed around a bit in New Jack.
I did wonder what the precedent for the movie was, as it plays essentially like a much more polished blaxploitation movie, updated for the 1990s; or even a blaxploitation spoof.
All that said, Mario Van Peebles should still be given some credit for attempting to make an anti-drug movie - one that was also entertaining - given the period during which it was made, even though the delivery is often too deliberate, and I'd argue that it instead glorifies the lifestyle, more than it derides it.
It also helped launch Wesley Snipes's career as an action movie star, with Passenger 57 released about a year after.
I am surprised that there wasn't a sequel, given how successful it was.
How about you? New Jack City memories? Current reactions if you've watched it again recently?
Here's its trailer as a refresher ("Rock-a-bye-baby"):
Gee | June 30, 2014 6:31 PM
All you people saying NIC is dated....it was supposed to be dated. The movie setting was 5 to 6 Years earlier. It was dated for like 1985. Anyway...New Jack was a good movie then and its a good movie now. I liked it a lot more than I did Boyz. I will admit that Ice T's performance wasn't very good....But Wesley, Allen and Chris put in some phenomenal work.
mario | February 5, 2014 12:14 AM
Really bad script. Awful direction. Lots of potential wasted.
TL | January 12, 2014 11:04 PM
Classic movie. Period. Watching it now on Encore.
mark | February 24, 2013 12:47 AM
I think its a great movie did then do now actually watching it right now i think it helped show people some of what was and still is happening in the hood . Thanks mario.
Jeff Wilder | February 2, 2013 11:50 AM
No, New Jack City has not aged well. The fashions and some of the music choices date it, some of the dialogue is awful ("I wanna shoot you so bad my d***'s hard") and the anti-drug pontificating can get annoying. It's also not as iconic as Scarface or as well-written as The Untouchables. Bill Duke's Deep Cover, which came out about a year later, is better made and holds up a lot better even if it isn't as well-remembered.
On the other hand it's still possible to enjoy NJC in a non-kitschy way even if some of the luster has faded. Wesley Snipes is fantastic as Nino Brown. I would also put it slightly ahead of the aforementioned Untouchables in one area: providing an understandable motivation for the good guy. Here it's revealed that Ice-T has a largely personal motivation for wanting to take Nino down. In the Untouchables Kevin Costner wanted to take down Capone mainly because it was his job (although personal factors did enter in to it as the story went on). Finally, New Jack Hustler still kicks a**.

George Jackson: one of the producers on the project, seriously smart business man and brief Mentor to me, They did try to mount a Sequel, tried very hard, but cast problems, trying to get the right script, Wesley was in another mindset by then also and the studios taste had changed dramatically, and George was one of those guys who had an Ivy League degree, would not bow down when the studio would ask "can we have the White Cop, Kill all the of the criminals in the sequel" and there were even more problems than to mention, but George would have done it had they put the funding in place as quick, God Rest his soul, he was an awesome person.!!!!

I wish I could say New Jack City held up back when it came out. The good: Chris Rock's Oscar worthy performance, Wesley as one of the coolest bad guys and Uniqua. When we remember the good we completely overlook the biggest issue in the story: the movie is about these annoying New Jack cops. The movie started off being Scarface then it became the Untouchables 5 minutes into the film.
Notice how no one has yet to talk about Ice-T's performance, when he's the lead or his partner Judd Nelson. And it's not just that Wesley stole the movie, the cop stuff sucked, which was a good portion of the movie. That's too much bad to say New Jack City was a good movie.

Haven't watched it recently but it had impact then and holds some impact now unlike a few other movies in the era that were supposed to have been better and more "relevant" - ie, Colors. It is a hit classic. Everybody (black) can quote lines or remember scenes in that movie where, up until then, no one had ever witnessed on film. I think Pacino's Scarface is much more outdated than NJC but negroes still flock to that mess. Music was great - ColorMeBadd singing "I'm gonna sex you up." Could care less if it seemed like a video with all the music... so was Oh Brother Where Art Thou (saw last night). It blew our pre-teen minds to see the inside of a crackhouse (hell, a crack apartment building WTF!!) where workers had to work butt naked; and realizing that those smooth, educated sisters/brothers doing "good" in the neighborhood were in the drug trade up to their necks; and Nino Brown's ass being so cold and selfish he'd kill his brother and then sit up in the courtroom and call out co-conspirators openly - 'If I'm going down, I'm gonna take all ya'll with me' was a foreign concept to us. After that movie, everybody said that and did it. Forget the no-snitch rule. Had the eye candy for the men and the women - Russell Wong, Christopher Williams, woooooo!!! Judd Nelson doing his I'm a black man stuck in a white man's body act. Ice T being Ice T: 'This ain't business, this's personal.' Bill Cobbs getting his moment in the sun by killing Nino. Can't forget Chris Rock - he shocked everybody. Anyone else agree that TP lifted the ending of NJC to put in Daddy's Little Girl - just making it more family friendly? Damn. Now I've got to watch NJC.
George | April 25, 2012 6:02 PM
Above in a recent article Mario Van Peebles mentions why this movie still has some relevancy. Below is excerpt from the article:
Mario Van Peebles: Yeah, unfortunately. But I think you have to understand that it comes up in The Godfather. You have to think, âAs long as the drugs are in the low-income communities, weâre OK. We can medicate those communities.â Thatâs a very cynical way to look at it. But you have to understand that we donât have poppy skills in America, and we donât have gun-manufacturing plants. All you have to do is say, âFollow the money. A 13-year-old boy can find a drug dealer. Why canât the cops?â Once you follow the money, you go, âOh, wow, thereâs big money in this.â And once thereâs big money in this, then thereâs big connections, and thereâs no way, logistically, you can get this stuff moved in here without the OK of certain officials â not all officials. Some folks are doing the right thing, but other folks will turn the other way and do the wrong thing.
Itâs like prohibition. You have to ask yourself bigger questions. âAre we better off legalizing and then taking the money and taxing and regulating and educating? Or are we better off continuing to fight a legal battle?â And when youâre fighting it and saying that itâs illegal, youâre creating a monetary value to it that is not proportionate to what it costs to make. Itâs not economics anymore. Itâs like, âWhy do I buy this chair? I want this chair, but the chair is made of wood. So the price of it in the open market includes the labor it took to make it, plus the products and materials it took to make it, and then what you get on the open market. When you suddenly make something illegal, youâve increased its value and then you put profits in it because itâs illegal. Sometimes, if you take away the profit, youâre able to regulate it differently. As Wesley Snipes said in New Jack City, âItâs not me. Itâs bigger than me. Iâm going to go to jail and whatever, but thereâll be more of it around, until you understand it differently.â So, yes, itâs unfortunately very similar. You can go to any big city in America, go to any low-income area in that city, be it white, Hispanic or black, and find drugs.
Donella | April 25, 2012 1:54 PM
This movie is so quotable. "Rock-a-bye baby" is probably my favorite line in the whole movie. I agree that NJC had an impact on pop culture. That and King of New York.
Jayson Jay | April 25, 2012 10:19 AM
It's a classic. I love it because it entertains me much like Boomerang this does.
Cherish | April 25, 2012 9:48 AM
Wow, were most movie trailers that bad in those days? I don't remember, never paid much attention to them back then Today they are so much more sophisticated. But yeah, the movie is dated, and a little gimmicky. But its still a classic and I love it too.
Negro Please | April 25, 2012 12:11 AM
This film is a classic. I loved it, and still do.
Lonny | April 24, 2012 10:20 PM
I still feel the same way as I did as a kid so it's still holds up as it's attached to nostalgic memories. The lines were always laughable, which is what made it fun to quote (:think of the "Martin" episode") . It highlights a late 80's into 90's look style wise and slang wise.
"Sugar Hill" and "Jason's Lyric (which are thematically ...plot wise..the same movie) might've done more for the brotherhood explored with black people on film, but "Am I my brother's keeper" is everything it ever was.
It's like a music video , as mentioned. It's also like a video game that we're watching being played on story mode. It's fun.
Can we discuss Allen Payne's career? It seemed like it'd go differently. He was a big draw to the film for me.
True he has a Tyler Perry show in his namesake, but..... I don't know. Did Terrence Howard get all his potential roles post 2001?
(Michael Ealy is set to get Terrence Howard's...)
Neziah | April 24, 2012 9:33 PM
It's dated, but still provides some decent entertainment for those charmed by these types of over-the-top crime/hood films, such as myself.
Bobby Tee | April 24, 2012 9:20 PM
It's a little lazy to look at the catchphrases of 'NJC' as a judge of how it has held up over more than 20 years later. As a lot of the observant commenters noted below, the impact that this movie has had on pop culture alone solidifies its place in the realms of film history.
I mean, Lil Wayne's record label and all of his albums are taken from this very movie. And that's just a small slice of the population of artists and consumers alike who hold this film in high regard.
...just my thoughts.
misha | April 24, 2012 8:20 PM
I hear you, Tambay. Compared to Boyz, New Jack doesn't hold up all that well. But I still enjoy it nonetheless.
Adam Scott Thompson | April 24, 2012 8:09 PM
When G-Money jumps in the Jeep with Nino on the Zach Morris brick-phone and Da-Da-Da Man laughing -- classic.
james evans from the cabrini-green projects | April 24, 2012 7:44 PM
As you astutely put, it did not "hold up well" the year it came out. However, audiences still have great affection for this b-list-movie (as do I), probably for the nostalgia factor alone ('91 was a great year for lovers of hip hop). NJC will go down in history as one of those highly-prolific Black movies we all love but was never really that great to begin with, like "Waiting To Exhale" (love to Whitney and Angela, but sorry, somebody had to say it) and most of Spike's "joints".
Dankwa Brooks | April 24, 2012 5:55 PM
I agree with pretty much everything Tambay said, but I still LOVE IT!
 I disagree with him about Chris Rock though NJC was his BEST onscreen performance. Eddie Murphy is the worthy successor to Richard Pryor in comedy & movies, Chris Rock got the comedy on lock, but...
Anyway, I rewatched it last year and still loved every minute. The long music video is apropos, but it's still fun especially the bravura performance of Mr. Wesley Snipes.Â
Ice-T was pretty decent too for his first role. The acting as a whole is not stellar, but it is what it is.Â
I feel Tambay on something losing its resonance. I used to love 'Scarface', but not so much anymore. I won't be one of the ones buying the newly released BluRay. I think I've gotten bourgeoise. LOL.
ron jones | April 24, 2012 5:25 PM
I get your point, but you can't put such a revisionist spin on a flick that was made as a time capsule for that era. Most of the movies I watch now, that I saw over a decade a go seem corny by todays standards, but that's because most movies build on the earlier ones. This movie was classic and still is...

ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 47) -- The Minnesota Senate stayed up all night debating a bill that allows personal care attendants and home day care providers to unionize.
The debate began Tuesday afternoon and continued Wednesday morning as senators offered a series of amendments.
The bill is a priority of two unions -- the Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees. They argue unionization would give workers a louder voice to press for standards, training and higher state reimbursement rates. Opponents, including some providers, see it as a grab for union dues that's being forced on them.
The Star Tribune reports Republican Sen. Carla Nelson, of Rochester, says it's an unwanted, unnecessary bill that will result in higher costs for parents, lower pay for child-care providers and $8 million in union dues.

Hey guys, I tried to find something in the forums posted about this, but I didn't find anything. My question can't be that uncommon so that was surprising, but anyway here is my question:
Hooking up with girls in the same social circle
If I hook up with a girl in my social circle will that isolate me from hooking up with any of the other girls in my social circle? I ask this because I made a pretty good connection with an HB7 in my student organization at school, but I don't want to hook up with her if it will isolate me from pursuing any of the other girls in the group first (HB8's and 9's) by making me look like a player or something. Ya dig?

Snellville police are searching for a suspect who robbed a Citgo gas station on Saturday.
Just before 11 p.m. a man walked into the store wearing a glove on one hand and a sock on another, according to the clerk. The man also wore a light blue bandanna over his face.
The suspect jumped the counter, grabbed the clerk and demanded money.
The clerk fought with the suspect and pulled the bandanna from his face.
As the struggle continued, the suspect forced the clerk into a back room and pulled a large knife, holding the knife to the throat of the clerk.
The clerk was forced to turn off the lights in the store and the suspect forced the clerk back to the cash register, according to police reports.
The suspect fled the area with cash from the register.

@GoesslingESPN: #Vikings announce they have released Erin Henderson. Had been arrested twice for DUI since November.
Erin Henderson - LB - Free Agent
rotoworldVikings released LB Erin Henderson.
Henderson didn't have a bad 2013 season on the field, seeing action at both middle and strong-side linebacker, but has been arrested for DUI twice since November, and cutting him saves Minnesota $2.1 million in salary cap space. Look for Henderson to draw interest in free agency, perhaps from Tampa Bay. He's a scheme fit for Lovie Smith's defense and has lots of history with new Bucs defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. Henderson turns 28 in July.

Few CDs, if any, have such a large percentage of songs on it that I love. You know that feeling? How many of your CDs do you spend most of your time listening to just waiting for your 2 favorite songs? I do that a lot. Not on this CD (or any of Stratovarius's CD for that manner). The album is about 62 minutes long, also.
It is important for you to know that I own 12 Stratovarius CDs (Fright Night, T.T., D., Fourth Dimension, E., V., Visions of Europe, D., I., Intermission, Elements 1, and Elements 2), the DVD Infinite Visions, and a shirt for this band. Only one other band do I own more than 3 albums by. And that band is Nightwish. Needless to say, I enjoy Stratovarius a LOT. About 45 of my about 400 favorite songs are by Stratovarius – far more than by any other band. Off this album, those songs include Find Your Own Voice, Fantasia (fav. of the album), Papillon, Stratofortress, Elements, and A Drop in the Ocean. Get that? 2/3 of the songs! Sorry – I don't find Eagleheart that great. Its also the least Strato-like song I think they've ever recorded, musically.
What most people hate about this album is what I love – orchestration, Timo's wailing, 2 epics, and the instrumental Stratofortress. What I don't like is the no double-bass songs. Well… at least `not enough' of them. I know we're never gonna get another Father Time since the band's no more, but it would have been nice to have another song to be similar to that. It seems that the really fast songs were only on their older albums.
The funny thing with this album is the atmosphere. The cover art really does make you feel like you're in the sky! Just give Elements or A Drop in the Ocean one listen and try to tell me different. The solos on Stratofortress also give that feeling. The whole album does, but it's the strongest at the end of the album.
The albums "real" opener is Soul of a Vengabond, which I am not too fond of at the time. Find Your Own Voice is the closest to older Stratovarius you'll hear on the album. Fantasia's a lot like Mother Gaia and The Power of One in the sense that its like "what would our world be like if there were no wars or religion?" Learning to Fly is semi-filler to me, but Papillon is one heck of a powerful song. Its wicked slow, but in-your-face loud. Lots of wailing in that song, and in the title track. I recently looked at the lyrics to Elements (the song) closely – it looks like its simply a guy (Timo) asking "why are humans so selfish?" and such, and the answer he gets is 8 elements in 2 sets: wind, water, fire, earth, and then fear, anger, sorrow, joy. That song should give you chills, even though its not quite as good as it could have been. I've read that A Drop in the Ocean is Celestial Dream, Part II (from Infinite), but I'm not sure about that. They're both drumless ballads, but I don't see the relationship.
Seriously – for any fan of euro metal of any kind (or if you like Rammstein for the orchestration), you just gotta give this album a (2nd, in some situations) try. As a whole, this is my favorite Stratovarius album. Visions, Fourth Dimension, and Infinite are in a close 2nd. Then probably Twilight Time and Destiny. Episode and Elements 2 are next, and I don't wanna go further than that.
I hope I helped you in deciding whether to or not purchase this (wonderful) album. If I helped, please say so! I have a lot of other reviews (and now, I have my own list here on amazon!), so read them when you get a chance. Type in "Tunnelvision" and you should get to the list.

Tony Bennett (born Anthony Dominick Benedetto on August 3, 1926) is an American singer of popular music, standards and jazz. After having achieved artistic and commercial success in the 1950s and early 1960s, his career suffered an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era. Bennett staged a remarkable comeback, however, in the late 1980s and 1990s, expanding his audience to a younger generation while keeping his musical style intact. He remains a popular and critically praised recording artist and concert performer in the 2000s.

On Saturday, June 7, 2014 between 10:30 and 11:00 a.m., two World War II veterans who survived D-Day will meet each other – for the first time – at the Made In America Store, 900 Maple Street, Elma, NY 14059 to reminisce about their experiences that fateful day.
"Our nation and the free world are commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, which took place on June 6, 1944," Mark Andol, founder and owner of the Made In America Store began. "It was the Allies' one shot to penetrate Nazi Germany's defenses and to liberate Europe. We owe an incredible debt of gratitude to the young men who jumped out of airplanes and scaled the cliffs to fight in this decisive battle."
Both veterans are 90 years old. One participated in the amphibious invasion, landing on Omaha Beach. The other was a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne, 508th Division, who landed near the Merderet River and La Fiere Bridge. They are highly decorated.
These veterans embodied the words of General Eisenhower, "Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force…The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you." These men answered the prayers of the people of France and all of Europe by putting their own lives on the line.
"Can you imagine the stories these two veterans will tell?" Andol continued. "Seventy years ago, they fought for the nation they love and the freedom of our Allies. They lost comrades in battle, yet they offer living testimony for the events of that day, as well as the days and weeks that followed including the liberation of Nazi death camps."
The reunion of the two WWII veterans coincides with the Saturday morning arrival of a tour bus at the Made In America Store. It is one of many buses from out-of-state – this one from Illinois – that make the patriotic pilgrimage to the only general merchandise store in the U.S. that exclusively sells 100% American Made Products.
"Our bus visitors are in for a big surprise when they get off the bus and meet two WWII heroes. We are proud to facilitate this reunion, and to welcome dozens of visitors from the Midwest for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Andol concluded.
