After giving the league a little bit of time to settle down on all of the player movements I thought I would give a quick update on the 2012 Bears: Where Are They Now.
Chilo Rachal: Since Cardianals guard Jonathan Cooper broke his leg I thought Rachal had a chance of sticking. He survived the 75 man cut but didn't make the 53 man cut, So far no one has picked him up.
D.J. Moore: Moore is on the Carolina Panthers 53 man roster, he will be playing mostly the nickel back position.
Kellen Davis: Davis was cut by the Cleveland Browns, word has it his poor blocking was his downfall. So far no takers for Davis.
Jason Campbell: Jason Campbell is the Browns back up quarter back. Too bad he missed the final pre-season game against Chicago, he had a case of the flu, yeah ok.
Israel Idonije: Israel made the Detroit roster and will be a backup tackle and end.
Lance Louis: Louis was cut by Miami prior to the 75 man cut down. He isn't fully healed from his ACL surgery and was due a $763,750 bonus if he made the 53 man roster. Louis may catch on with some team when his ACL is fully recovered.
Evan Rodriguez: Rodriguez made the Dolphins 53 man roster, for one day. He was cut and the Dolphins replaced him with one time Bear, Tyler Clutts. Rodriguez is currently unemployed. If he gets stopped by another cop he can't use this line again; "I'm an NFL player, I don't need this crap". No your not!
Nick Roach: Nick is still the starting middle linebacker and team leader for the Oakland Raiders.
Gabe Carimi: Carimi made the Tampa Bay Bucaneers roster and will serve as a backup tackle and guard.
Matt Spaeth: The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports Steelers TE Matt Spaeth (foot surgery) is a candidate for injured reserve/designated to return. Spaeth is out 8-10 weeks after undergoing Lisfranc surgery.
Troy Nolan: Nolan didn't make the Tampa Bay 75 man roster and was cut.
Chris Spencer: Chris made the 53 man roster of the Tennessee Titans as a guard backing up Chance Warmack.
Amobi Okoye: Amobi is still a free agent.
Dom DeCicco: Dom had made the 75 man roster of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but was unable to survive the cut to the 53 man roster.
Geno Hayes: Geno is the starting outside linebacker for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Kahlil Bell: Kaklil made the New York Jets 53 man roster for one day. He was cut and replaced with former Packers running back Alex Green.
J'Marcus Webb: Webb didn't survive the Bears 53 man cut and was claimed by the Minnesota Vikings as a backup.
Dane Sanzenbacher: The former Bears wide receiver is currently listed as the third WR1 on the Cincinnatti Bengals depth chart. Dane will be playing at the Bears in the first Week of the season, putting terror into the heart of Tillman and Jennings, yeah right.
Matt Blanchard: Blanchard was released with an injury settlement. Which more than likely means his days in Chicago are over. He is one of those small school athletes that almost no one gave a chance to succeed. He handled himself very well while with the Bears and is probably better than quit a few current NFL backups.
Matt Toeaina: The former Bears Nose Tackle has yet to find a job in the NFL.

You do realize that he gives us a lift because he is fresh because Ray takes all the beating against the run.
As we saw when Ray went down this year and Rob filled in, he didn't have enough ass to stop the run and teams just ran at him. Additionally, he was pretty much a non factor as a pass rusher when he actually filled in against the run at LDE in the base defense.
Don't get me wrong, I like him alot, but he is nothing more than a good "Situational" pass rusher that can come in with fresh leggs on 3rd and long passing situations.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

After all, you DID state "I think we will see some comments like this from players...related to how the FO pukes are treating players with respect to contracts"
I simply presented a case that refuted the idea that it was actually FO malfeasance, and more a case of a player grumbling because he refuses to acknowledge his declining skills.
Sad, you used to be able to pick the point out of a post...
..and fear of buying beer is not a condition I even remotely entertain. My only fear is that you'll run out of money before I've finished drinking...

Re: Are the Vikings trust worthy? Pat Williams...
Sad story. It's too bad the team and Pat have different opinions in what he has left, I would have liked to see him retire here. Maybe even stick around as an assistant d-line coach. You're not 38 and starting at DT for no reason.
Reminds me of Cris Carter playing that last year as a Dolphin, just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

See how that works? If not, I'll give you an example:
Thesis Statement: Tarvaris Jackson is not worth a big dollar contract.
Supporting Evidence: His stats and tapes of his performances.
As Evidenced By: No one trying to sign him with a lowly 3rd round tender on him.
Conclusion: Tarvaris Jackson is not in demand as a QB
See...not that hard. And, honestly, it's a lot simpler than the Marrdro way which seems to go a lot like this:
Thesis Statement: Sydney Rice was tanking for a contract.
Supporting Evidence: None.
As Evidenced By: None.
Conclusion: Because Rice didn't get surgery right away, he must have been mad about not being offered a huge contract after only 1 good season.
See the difference?

...but how did Ray demonstrate that he is WORTH a big contract? Which guys in 2010, on ANY team, grossly over played their 5th year contract?
See, the flip side of the tender - which gives the teams compensation for departing players - is the fact that it ALSO guarantees a certain level of pay for the player. Edwards, signing a 1st round tender, was given a HUGE raise....then wasn't worth it.
The point here is that just because the players think it, doesn't mean it's valid.

Players who want an increased level of pay need to produce an increased level of PLAY.
Rice didn't. Edwards didn't. IMHO, we can do without either or both of them.
I'm not saying this to reopen the Jackson or Edwards debates. Merely to point out that there are two sides to the Tender issue...and I'm sorry, Ray Edwards making 5 millions dollars last season doesn't impress me as being underpaid. What he's REALLY bitching about is not getting a LONG TERM deal with the front loaded bonus.
But then that opens the debate of the relative worth of long term deals...
Re: Are the Vikings trust worthy? Pat Williams...Originally Posted by "Caine" #1090664
1) Most teams make a killing on production vs. price as it relates to rookie contracts. Lets ignore the first 20 picks of the draft. A lot of very talented players play their asses off without the pay for it.
Ray was a 4th round player. I'm too lazy to look up his first contract but I can assure you it was peanuts(compared to other athletes). The increase in pay from the tender is laughable to these guys. When faced with the possibility of getting 20 million guaranteed, do you really think most will settle for 4 million for a season. I know, I know, poor spoiled athlete wants more money....but in reality, if any of us were able to make that kinda of money for a career, we would want more. We would not be satisfied with 4 million and we would want to get as much as we could comfortably get. It's human nature. The team didn't do them a favor by tagging them. It's a business but it doesn't mean it doesn't rub a few the wrong way. For instance, I'm in school for nursing and it's accepted that your first 2 years out of school you may make 1 salary and then 2 years later you are bumped up to a higher salary. Do you think I would be happy that I signed a contract saying that I want out after 2 years so that I can see the increase in pay that i should get...only to be told that the Hospital is ignoring the contract I signed and is now requiring me to keep my lower salary for 4 years? I would be vexed.
Re: Are the Vikings trust worthy? Pat Williams...
Thesis, supporting, as evidenced by; and conclusion. Where the hell did negation go? lol
In a (somehow) related development, I had to buy supplies for my wife's garden today.
$6.99 for a bag of dehydrated cow manure? I think a fella from Wisconsin should get some sort of discount on that. :P
Re: Are the Vikings trust worthy? Pat Williams...
Ok, well, wow...much more here that the Thread Title implies.
In the spirit of sticking to a point...I think there is way too much read into Pat's comments. Now, we all know he loved previous coaches, Tomlin most notably...me too. As long as he performed, Frazier was very supportive of Pat, but, let's be real people...we dipped last year, Pat's effectiveness did too. It is time to move on, sorry, making employement decisions is hard. Those that are effective at leadership can make these tough decisions.
Pat...I have your jersey, I loved your passion, your "Vikingness" is respected, oh, and, I got your back...but, we are gonna move on. Would love to meet you.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent
As a matter of fact, I do know

Off-Campus Housing:
Between on and off campus housing, and whether you want to live in an apartment or house or dorm, you can pretty much find what you want, within a price range that you are looking for
Off-Campus Housing:
The housing selection is first come first serve. Smaller apartments usually go last.
Off-Campus Housing:
The apartments tend to be older and not kept up well by the landlords. They are all close to public transportation and often have street parking or else parking available to rent. The off campus neighborhoods are really safe and convenient.
Off-Campus Housing:
I did not live in off campus housing and I do not plan to. What I've heard though is that you have to sign a lease in September(!!!) of the previous year in order to get any type of desirable housing - not okay.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Marie Puissant
While it is definitely beneficial to spend at least a year in the dorms, off-campus housing is highly recommended. Madison has a plethora of houses, apartment buildings, and co-ops for students to live in. The general rule is that the closer you are to campus, the more you're going to pay. These areas include Langdon Street, Gorham Street, Gilman Street, and University Avenue. For some, though, being two minutes from State Street and ten from the academic buildings is worth it. If you decide to be one of these people, you are looking to pay anywhere from $500-$1,000 per month. However, if you can handle taking the city bus, or even doubling that distance to campus, rent prices will drop dramatically. For those unable to pay the higher rates, try housing near Capital Square, notably Carroll Street and Main Street. Housing in these areas are comparable in size to the closer locales and won't charge astronomical amounts.
In general, students are big fans of off-campus housing. Not only do you finally have a place of your own, but you also don't have to travel far from campus. Namely, the areas surrounding State Street and Capital Square are filled with affordable and comfortable housing. Students do advise that you start looking early to secure just the right place.

Epiphany services at Salisbury Cathedral
11:05am Saturday 4th January 2014 in News By Jill Harding
THREE special services will be held at Salisbury Cathedral in January to celebrate the Epiphany.
On Monday, January 6 at 5.30pm the cathedral choir will sing Eucharist on the Feast of the Epiphany.
Canon Precentor, Tom Clammer will preside at the service and the preacher is the Canon Chancellor Edward Probert. Choral Evensong at 5.30pm on Friday, January 17 will be sung by candlelight by the lay vicars in the north transept. Atmospheric plainsong will be offset by a performance of Benjamin Britten's Canticle IV The Journey of the Magi by singers Andrew Stewart, Hugh Hetherington and Alistair Watson accompanied by the international piano recitalist Nicholas Walker.
The Cathedral's Epiphany Procession, the third and final of its popular processional services celebrating Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, takes place at 5pm on Sunday, January 19. A moving service of words and music, it commemorates the journey of the Magi travelling from the east to worship the infant Jesus, and then follows his life through to adulthood.
Mr Clammer said: "For many people Christmas ends on Boxing Day, but of course the story continues in the journey of the Three Wise Men to visit Jesus. In this special service we travel with them from the east to worship the baby Jesus, and then follow him through his early life and into manhood. Wonderful seasonal music, readings, and congregational carols lead us from Christmas into a new year."
*The girl choristers and lay vicars, directed by David Halls and accompanied by John Challenger, sing music by Mendelssohn, Messiaen, Poulenc and Tavener, and a new anthem by Richard Shephard which receives its premiere during the BBC Radio 3 broadcast of Choral Evensong live from Salisbury Cathedral at 3.30pm on Wednesday 15 January.

As the Lady Pioneers took to the court for the first time competitively in 2014 on Saturday, Jan. 4, the fans were left to question whether they had left their talent in 2013.
In fact, the Lady Yellow Jackets, who had traveled from Institute (WV State) for this 2014 inaugural contest, opened the game up with a 10 point run over the first three minutes to lead, 0-10.
However, after a timeout to regroup, the Lady Pioneers matched and exceeded that run as they scored 14 unanswered points to take the lead, 14-10.
Throughout the rest of the first half, Glenville's ladies maintained that lead; in fact, at one point the Lady Pioneers led by 12 points, 43-31, following a free throw by senior Kenyell Goodson with just over five minutes in the half.
The Yellow Jackets managed to narrow the lead in the final minutes, and at intermission, a single basket separated the two teams, 53-52.
With seven wins in a row on the line, the Lady Pioneers, who are currently ranked 15 in the nation, could not risk being tripped up by these Lady Jackets.
The second half opened with both teams fighting to find an edge.
In the first three minutes, the two teams were tied twice, once at 55 and again at 58.
The Yellow Jackets managed to regain the lead momentarily in the second half, but the two teams were too well matched as the lead flip-flopped and multiple ties were seen.
At 6:58 left to play, the score was tied up, 78 all, following a free throw from Kenyona Simmons. This was the contests' tenth tie.
An Ashleigh Fossett three-pointer two minutes later put the Lady Pioneers up for good, 84-83.
Ultimately, the GSC Ladies ran away in those final minutes with a 104-96 victory.
Four Lady Pioneers scored in double-digits in the match-up. Simmons led the Lady Pioneers with 20 points; Goodson added 18. Senior Aesha Peters also had 11 rebounds.

The Daily Scope
You're filled with lots of things to say, and you want to tell everyone what you've been up to recently. But try not to talk only of yourself, and avoid the temptation to embellish, even if it does make for a better story. And remember, Gemini, there's a time for work and a time for play. Keep them separate, but do seek to find the balance between the two.
Week of May 13–May 19
Mercury, the planet of the mind, will fly into airy Gemini on Wednesday, where he holds court with all his brilliance for the following fortnight. Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, so when in residence, he invites us to share in the excitement of his sparkling, witty world.
For the next two weeks, Mercury will be at his most versatile and charming, so we can expect dazzling conversation as well as absorbing discussions and debates. In Gemini, the sign of the twins, Mercury takes a special delight in duality, being equally fond of the elegant, eloquent poet and the swift, smooth talking salesman.
Deeply impressionable, Mercury relishes the richness of variety and is drawn to constant stimulation. But if his insatiable curiosity is not satisfied—if he grows restless or bored—he will turn his twinkling eye to trickery, inciting all manner of mischief and mayhem for sheer amusement.
In Gemini, Mercury inspires us to be lighthearted, and this week will be infused with humor—whether scatterbrained, screwball, or sophisticated. Mercury is happiest when we are laughing, and he is intent on filling the world with felicity and flirtation.

Updated Mar. 13 at 6 p.m.
Controversy tonight surrounding a disorder that affects nearly one in every 88 children. Six North Dakota legislators are trying to increase our knowledge about autism. The bill, if passed, would create a database for those who fall into the autism spectrum. It would provide more resources to those diagnosed. Valley News Live explains why the proposed bill doesn't sit well with some families in the valley.
Two proposed bills in the North Dakota legislature -- HB 1038 and SB 2193 -- have some parents worked up. One bill has the Democrats' backing, and the other is supported by a majority of Republicans, but it's the language that has some parents concerned, especially those with autistic children.
Mom's like Kyla Enderle has concerns for her autistic diagnosed 8 year old son. "He has a lot of problems with social interaction, body language, eye contact."
Enderle's son goes through speech therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy. A couple days a week he meets up with his school's counselor. If either of these bills pass, her sons personal information would be available to other doctors who have never met her son.
"I hope it doesn't pass and I spent some time this afternoon emailing my senators, and representatives asking that they please vote no on this bill." Says Enderle.
When she heard that a bill wants to share his personal information -- including his name and gender -- with doctors and other medical professionals, Enderle said she just couldn't believe it: "It's an invasion of privacy, that's what it is."
But at Prairie Saint Johns in Fargo, Barb Stanton an autism specialist says a database of personal information is routine in the world of health care.
"There are a number of different registers that the department of health operates from. Influenza, to stroke, to cancer registration that's reported." Explains Dr. Stanton.
Being that autism has so many different faces. Stanton argues this is only the beginning of trying to identify what it is they're dealing with.
"It helps us understand how we can develop services and programs with in the state for individuals if we have an idea about numbers and ages and locations they live in. Then we're able to really be able to focus services and intervention to those areas and individuals." Says Dr. Stanton.
Meanwhile, Enderle and many other moms and dads across North Dakota, don't know what to make of a state database that would hold much of their kids' personal information. Not necessarily a case of big brother knowing to much, but categorizing kids with a condition, that even doctors don't know enough about today.
"When you've met a child with autism you've met one child with autism. Because every child is different." Says Enderle.
New Jersey and New Hampshire have similar bills in the books. They share their state's autism information on a national scale to help others better understand how the disorder works. You can read the exact language in the original story below.
Original Story
A bill going through the North Dakota legislature would have the state department of health establish and administer an autism spectrum disorder database. The original bill states the database would include a record of all reported cases of autism spectrum disorder in the state and any other information determined relevant and appropriate by the department in order to complete epidemiologic surveys of the autism spectrum disorder, enable research and analysis of the autism spectrum disorder, and provide services to individuals with an autism spectrum disorder.
The sponsors of SB 2193 include:
The state department of health would establish criteria regarding who is qualified to report a case of autism spectrum disorder to the database. That criteria says the reporter needs to be a doctoral-level professional and be appropriately licensed, credentialed, and experienced in the field of autism spectrum disorder, including intellectual testing and other formal evidenced-based assessments for autism spectrum disorders.
In the bill the database established must:
SECTION 2: Autism spectrum disorder voucher program
Section 2 of Senate Bill 2193 says the department of human services shall establish a voucher program to help fund equipment and general educational needs related to autism spectrum disorder for anyone under age 22 who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
The program may include funding for assistive technology; video modeling videos or equipment; language-generating devices; training and educational material for parents; parenting education; sensory equipment; tutors; safety equipment; travel tools; self-care equipment; timers; visual representation systems; language comprehension equipment; and registration and related expenses for workshops and training to improve independent living skills, employment opportunities, and other executive or social skills.
In determining the amount of a voucher for which an applicant may be determined eligible, the department will consider the applicant's level of functioning. Rules will be adopted addressing management of the voucher program and establishing the eligibility requirements and exclusions for this voucher program.
The program may not provide a voucher for early intensive behavioral intervention, including applied behavioral analysis, intensive early interventional behavioral therapy, intensive behavioral intervention, the Lovaas method, the Denver model, LEAP (learning experiences - an alternative program for preschoolers and parents), TEACCH (treatment and education of autistic and related communication handicapped children), pivotal response training, or discrete trial training.
SECTION 3: Department of human services autism spectrum disorder study and report to the legislative management
During the 2013-14 interim, in consultation with clinicians who have expertise in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of autism spectrum disorder, the department of human services shall study autism spectrum disorder services, including the most feasible service delivery system for individuals not served in the developmental disability system who have an autism spectrum disorder. Before August 1, 2014, the department of human services shall report to the legislative management the outcome and recommendations of this study.
SECTION 4: Autism spectrum disorder database.
There is appropriated out of any moneys in the general fund in the state treasury, not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $200,648, or so much of the sum as may be necessary, to the state department of health for the purpose of establishing and administering an autism spectrum disorder database, for the biennium beginning July 1, 2013, and ending June 30, 2015.

A picture speaks a thousand words. Something has gone very wrong with humanity.
We ask that such acts (and all cruelty) are given heavy penalties in your country.
We also ask that education programmes and campaigns are rolled out, to instil a sense of responsibility and to teach people to "develop a conscience" - following the excellant example of the Thai Government, who themselves recently planned to undertake this work.
We also ask UNESCO – United Nations Education Science Culture – to create links to member state education depts, such as Thailand, and China (also with regard to the issue in this petition) to create a shared policy for education, as stated:
"To instil a sense of social responsibility and to teach people to develop a conscience, in particular with regard to sentient beings"

Will we see something similar in Australia is the burning question, however. According to GamesIndustry.biz, the rumoured price drop for Xbox 360 in Europe has gone ahead with Microsoft trimming EUR 80 (AU$130) off the SRP of the Arcade console, while the Premium pack has dropped from EUR 339 to EUR 299 (that's a price drop of around AU$65).
According to the site, while not officially announced by Microsoft themselves, the German Financial times leaked the news. It was rumoured last week though, that this price drop would happen in time for the Easter shopping period; one of the main goals being for Microsoft to have at least one version of the Xbox 360 costing less than Nintendo's Wii. No mention of the Elite bundle was made.
We'll keep you posted if it's looking likely this price drop will come into affect here in Australia.
Update: Microsoft's Euro branch has officially said the price-cut is the real deal, beginning from March 14. Naturally we contacted our man in the know here at Microsoft in Australia, however, the news was still pretty stale: "The price drop is for Europe only. We have no announcements to make at this time around a price drop for the Xbox 360 console in this market." There's still time, but at this stage it's looking less and less likely we'll see any kind of console price-drop love.

Elon Musk Pulls All-Nighter Before Unveiling His Science Fair Project
Hey, do you love Space Mountain and hate bumper-to-bumper traffic? Boy, does Elon Musk have the highly theoretical transit system for you!
The PayPal cofounder just released the open-source plans for his pipe dream, the Hyperloop, along with some futuristic renderings we're pretty sure he stole from Frank Herbert's Dune. It's basically the love child of a supersonic jet and the monorail at Epcot. Mr. Musk says it's "the right solution for the specific case of high traffic city pairs that are less than about 1500 km or 900 miles apart."
Anything more and you just want to upgrade to supersonic air travel. (As one does.) Though he's not entirely done hashing out the details, after pulling an all-nighter working on the plans: Read More

Persephone Story
Helios saw Hades abducting Persephone. Demeter didn't think to ask him about her missing daughter, but wandered the earth morosely for months until her friend, the witchcraft goddess Hekate suggested that Helios might have been an eye witness.
Venus and Mars Caught in a Net Story
Helios owed Hephaestus for the cup that carries him to his morning daily starting point, which the smithy god had made for him, so when he witnessed an event of importance to Hephaestus, he didn't keep it to himself. He hurried to reveal the affair between Hephaestus' wife Aphrodite and Ares.
Parentage and Family
Although Hyperion may simply be part of Helios' name, usually Helios' parents are the Titans Hyperion and Theia; his sisters are Selene and Eos. Helios married the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, Perseis or Perse, by whom he had Aeetes, Circe, and Pasiphae. By the Oceanid Clymene, Helios had a son Phaethon and maybe Augeas, and 3 daughters, Aegiale, Aegle, and Aetheria. These 3 daughters and two Helios had by Neaera, Lampetie and Phaethusa, were known as the Heliades.
Sun God: Helios to Apollo
Around the time of Euripides, the sun of Helios became identified with Apollo.

By Nigel M Smith | Indiewire September 12, 2013 at 10:12AM
After battling a house full of demons in James Wan's hit summer horror show "The Conjuring," Patrick Wilson is back in theaters this Friday the 13th in Wan's second offering of the year -- only this time he's playing the demon. In the sequel to 2010's hit haunted house horror "Insidious," "Insidious: Chapter 2," Wilson reprises his role as husband and father Josh Lambert, who at the end of the first installment inherited the evil spirit that was plaguing his house. In the second entry, which picks up right where the first one left off, Lambert struggles to contain his inner demon before it overtakes him and kills his family.
Wilson called up Indiewire from Los Angeles to discuss reuniting with Wan for a third time, and whether he would agree to do a third film in the "Insidious" series.
This year you went from playing a demon killer in "The Conjuring" to playing a demon in "Insidious 2." You've come full circle.
[Laughs] That's right. I'll now be investigating myself.
Did you shoot "Insidious: Chapter 2" following "The Conjuring"?
I did. We shot "The Conjuring" a year and a half ago and it was supposed to come out last winter, and it was testing so well that they said, "You know what, let's hold onto it until summer." So the fact that they're both together is strange. I went and did a couple movies in between them, so other than James and the same DP and crew, there's nothing similar. In a strange way, they're sort of complete opposites. "The Conjuring" is a nod to 70's horror, a more classic feel. "Insidious 2" is maybe more closer to the 80's, a little broader, a little bolder, more shocking and ghoulish and melodramatic, which I love, that was part of the fun. We didn't want to retread any of the same ground that we did on the first "Insidious," the script was pretty bold and out there. Which is good, which is what you want to do, swim with the big stick.
What project was more fun for you as an actor? I imagine playing a villain in "Insidious 2" is more of a kick than playing the hero in "The Conjuring."
Well it is, in a sense, but "The Conjuring" is a different beast because I'm playing a real guy, so I wanted to honor that real guy, see how he talks, see what he wore, what he read and what he believed in. It's a whole different set of circumstances. "Insidious 2" is more sort of bold and, not giving too much away, wearing the prosthetics and the violence of it. Not the literal violence, I just mean the abusive power that Josh has. That's exciting, that was sort of in a strange way the payoff for me for the first movie, where you really are the hero and you're trying to save your son. This one's a little darker. But neither one, "Insidious 2" or "The Conjuring," to me they're such different experiences that it's not,"Oh, I enjoyed this more..."
You're not an actor synonymous with the horror genre, so it's a funny coincidence that this year you kind of are. Are you fan of the genre?
You know, I'm not a horror guy. Do I like a really good horror movie? Sure, just like I like a good action movie, a good comedy, a good drama. I'm not well-versed, I don't see every horror movie that comes out. I don't set them on this sort of pedestal where, "Oh, I'm in this genre, I have to act a certain way." I always just go back to the script and the character. And I resisted the temptation. I gotta say, for awhile before I got "Insidious" I got a couple horror movies had gotten thrown my way, but they were just never good scripts, because it was a genre that had gotten, to me so... I mean, let me put it this way, when you think of movies like "The Exorcist" or "Poltergeist," the 70's or early 80's horror movies, to me, were supremely actor-friendly, where these actors got to approach this with great language and material and supernatural elements. That's fun stuff to chew on. I feel like the horror movies going my way were really gimmick-oriented or sex-oriented, like it didn't matter which actor was in the role. That didn't interest me, I wanted something that relied on the actors telling the story.
Both the "Insidious" films and "The Conjuring" work in large part thanks to the great ensemble of actors, but it sure helps you have James Wan calling the shots. How has it been witnessing his evolution over the course of your three films together?
I mean, look, I think with his career he took a big jump with "Insidious" to where he was able to challenge himself and redefine the genre where "Saw" sent movies into this grotesque violent nature, and that was never scary to me. With "Insidious" he wanted to push himself and push convention, and "The Conjuring" moved him right along, and this movie is bold in a different way. No matter how much you talk about actors in movies, it's not an actors' medium; this movie's all James. James is one of the very few guys who not only can master a genre, but in all different spectrum of the genre. I mean you're talking "Saw" and "The Conjuring" and "Insidious 2," They're just completely different films and sides of horror. So even within the genre he's pushed his limits. So it's no surprise to me that "Fast and the Furious 7" was thrown his way, and it's no surprise that he can do comedy, he can do a ton of things. He knows how to work a film and work an audience, and that's reflected in the choices that he makes.
How would you describe your relationship?
I don't know, I mean it's hard to say why you like your buddy. He knows exactly the kind of movie that he wants to make. And when you get there, he's got that balance of being supremely proficient at the movie he wants to make. He knows the lines, he knows the tone, he knows it in his head. But if you're bringing an idea to the table that will make the movie better, he's game for it. To have that sense of focus but be collaborative is a real blessing. He's amazingly ego-free, you just trust him because you know he's gonna bust his tail to make the best movie possible.
I think, from my my side, there's this great reverence for him where it's not like we go and hang out all the time. I mean, I love the guy, we text a lot, we talk a lot, but we have this great working relationship where we bring out the best in each other where I push him and I know he's gonna push me. There's just this commitment to character and story where... Yeah, it's hard to explain, I love the guy, and I would do anything with him, because he's not gonna ask me to do anything, and that's OK. I kept saying, "Listen, I'll drive a smart car in 'Fast and Furious,' it'll be funny," and he's like, "I do not want to bring you around this..." But you know, he's always like, "If it's not worth your time, I'm not gonna ask you." He has a reverence for me that I enjoy and I'm honored by, and I have the same for him. So we'll undoubtedly make many movies together, and they're gonna be good. You know, he wants to push me, he doesn't want to waste my time.
If he were to come to you with a script for "Insidious 3," would you say yes?
Here's the thing, I don't know if he would. I don't know where else you go with Josh Lambert. When you see the film, and see how it ends, it's pretty clear without giving too much away. It took him so much to even want to do a sequel to "Insidious," I felt like I could do a lot more with the character so he was my sort of touchstone, but I just... I don't know where else it could go. I don't know what he could come up with that would make it be interesting for both of us, for me, for Josh Lambert. Like, where else do you go with that guy? He's been through the ringer, and I think the movie sets it up well at the end, to be honest with you. And that's great, that's how it should end.

Riddle me this brother can you handle it
Your style to my style you can't hold a candle to it
Equinox symmetry and the balance is right
Smokin' and drinkin' on a Tuesday night
It's not how you play the game it's how you win it
I cheat and steal and sin and I'm a cynic
In another ep this guy goes to an eco friendly community because he's a huge polluter of the earth. Halfway through he's dying for some meat so he takes a rifle and goes out back to hunt rabbits....loved it.
Lots of preair shows about at the moment:
True Blood....looks good, first episode was good!
Fringe....the new JJ series (I think).....looks like it could be a winner.
Also watched the first three of In Plain Sight.....I think it's wicked!!!
A couple of other new series that I've downloaded...
Life on Mars--A detective somehow gets time traveled' back to the 70s
Pretty/Handsome--A male gynecologist wants to be a woman--great cast.
Fear Itself--Horror shorts. Episodes are not related to one another. The first two were pretty good. Haven't watched the third yet.
Raising The Bar--A legal drama with the kid from Saved By The Bell. Haven't watched it yet.
^ I saw the Yanks had made Life on Mars...I might watch it as I'm not a big Brit telly fan.
Fear Itself I've enjoyed....not a bad little show (third one is quite good actually).
Stargate Atlantis So5ep1 has leaked and is on EZTV.
Watched the first episode of Middleman....was wicked...bit like Eureka/The Chronicle.
Also watched Wipeout....pretty damn good actually, funny with it (IMO).
Leverage seemed good as well (only watched the first half though).
watched the first 2 episodes of BSG......kinda alright i suppose. still getting over the fact that starbuck is a chick
She rocks, if you want camp stay wit the original one and don't go further.
the long intros at the start kinda annoy me but i suppose i'll just fast forward through them
^ I hate the fact they show what'll be on the upcoming episode...I close my eyes when they do that (I think they used to do it for the A Team as well didn't they?).
Sorry not hate....dislike...a lot!!!

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Just north of Lubbock, weather and road conditions were much worse than in the city, including a wind chill of below zero temperatures.
NewsChannel 11's Cary Allen reports, "Road conditions between Lubbock and Plainview were fine, but in Swisher County some snow drifts are at least 3 feet deep. Snow plows came through and kept the roads clear along Highway 86 but there were still some areas where drifting snow can be 3 to 6 feet deep in some locations."
Further north in the Panhandle, it looked more like upstate New York on Friday. A spring blizzard struck Amarillo Friday morning prompting officials to shut down several highways, giving children across 20 counties the day off from school.
National Guard troops are also on standby to help any motorists who get stranded in the winter weather, and officials say residents should expect snowdrifts of up to 20 feet before the storm passes by Saturday afternoon.

Police have a man in custody whose wife's body was discovered in a blanket on the north end of Picacho Lake late last month.
Sgt. Rod Smith with the Coolidge Police Department said they were called to the 600 block of W. Shannon Way for a domestic violence call.
The victim identified the suspect as Bryan Shaw.
During the investigation, detectives found that Denise (Padilla) Shaw, Bryan Shaw's wife, was a missing person who may have been at the home.
On Monday afternoon, Denise Shaw's body was found in Pinal County and the victim's family positively identified her.
Pinal County Attorney candidate Lando Voyles said Bryan Shaw is the main suspect in the murder of his wife and the brutal baseball bat beating of Denise Shaw's girlfriend, Leslie Castillo on Aug. 26.
Bryan Shaw was arrested on aggravated assault charges and could face additional charges, according to police.

Distress during the transition from treatment to survivorship and its impact on response to new symptoms
Study Section:
Population Specific
Scientific Abstract:
Improved methods of early detection and treatment of breast cancer have led to rising numbers of women surviving and living with the disease for longer periods of time. The special needs of this population have been the focus of considerable research, but little has been done to examine the transition from treatment to life as a survivor. Although the completion of treatment is a welcome milestone for patients, this transition may represent an especially challenging period. Crisis theory posits that the completion of treatment can shatter the tentative equilibrium that patients re-establish during treatment. This is because the completion of treatment entails a loss of the reassurance of monitoring for symptoms of recurrence by health care providers due to the reduced frequency of visits and the loss of the "safety net" of treatment fighting the cancer. Thus, the first goal of the proposed research is a detailed examination of patients' experience and distress during the transition from treatment to survivorship. This examination will include a special focus on the most pressing concern of breast cancer survivors: fear of recurrence. According to the Self-Regulation Model, this fear during the transition phase, when patients assume responsibility for self-monitoring for symptoms, will make patients more likely to interpret new ambiguous symptoms (e.g., headache) as a recurrence and to utilize strategies to reduce the perceived threat (e.g., complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), screening tests). The second goal of the proposed research is to test these predictions of the Self-Regulation Model. Early stage breast cancer patients at multiple hospitals in the Dana-Farber/Partners CancerCare system will complete an extensive survey during treatment, at the end of treatment and 3 and 6 months post-treatment to examine the time course, prevalence, severity and determinants of their distress. Monthly phone interviews will assess fear of recurrence, interpretation of new symptoms, new CAM use and health care utilization. The results of this research will determine whether psychological interventions are needed to aid patients during this transition period, the issues that ought to be targeted by such interventions, and will facilitate the identification of "at-risk" patients. These interventions can reduce the significant distress that patients experience and potentially their use of unnecessary and costly CAM and health care services as well.
Lay Abstract:
With the increasing number of breast cancer survivors in the U.S., the need for efforts to understand and address the issues that they face has never been so great. The completion of treatment is a welcome milestone for patients, but preliminary evidence and anecdotes indicate that it also represents a very difficult period emotionally. This is because the completion of treatment entails a loss of the reassurance of monitoring for symptoms of recurrence by health care providers due to the reduced frequency of visits and the loss of the "safety net" of treatment fighting the cancer. However, the emotional challenge of this transition period and its potential consequences have been underappreciated by the medical community and understudied by researchers. Thus, the first goal of the proposed research is to conduct an in-depth examination of patients' experience and distress during this transition period. This examination also requires a special focus on the greatest concern of breast cancer patients following treatment: fear of recurrence. Psychological theory indicates that this fear can lead patients – who are now responsible for self-monitoring for symptoms of recurrence – to interpret new, ambiguous symptoms (e.g., headache) as an indication of recurrence. If every new headache, period of fatigue or ache and pain is interpreted as a recurrence, patients may be experiencing frequent, significant distress and may utilize unnecessary, risky health care services (e.g., unnecessary biopsies, complementary and alternative therapies) for reassurance that their cancer has not returned or will not return. Therefore, the second goal of this research is to examine the impact of patients' fear of recurrence during this transition period on their response to new, ambiguous symptoms. These goals will be explored in early stage breast cancer patients in the Dana-Farber/Partners CancerCare system during their transition from treatment to survivorship. Patients will complete surveys and phone interviews from treatment until several months post-treatment. The results of this study will fill a critical gap in knowledge about breast cancer survivors and will inform the need for psychological interventions to assist patients during this time in the course of their disease. Such interventions would more directly and safely address patients' distress than would their use of CAM therapies or health care services, which may which carry risks.

"When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay" is the first line of the song, "Same Love." Many people are saying this one song won Macklemore & Ryan Lewis their four Grammys last month. The Macklemore wins surprised fans, as Kendrick Lamar was expected by many to win for his album, "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City."
I don't agree with those who think Macklemore & Ryan Lewis won for the content of a single song, rather than for the entirety of their album. Two of the Grammys weren't even related to "Same Love." Their smash single, "Thrift Shop" won best rap song and performance.
Still, Lamar should have won best rap album and best new artist. His flow, word scheming, storytelling and overall rapping speed are all mind-blowing. Lamar's talent as a rapper and lyricist seems to be endless.
I think Macklemore is a great rapper, as well. In fact, his ability to tell stories through his songs is on par — if not higher than — Lamar's. Many of Macklemore's less mainstream songs showcase his amazing ability. "Otherside" is a song from 2010's "VS. Redux." He details how drugs affected his early adulthood and still haunt him to this day. The song is an amazingly realistic, intense and dark piece of art that truly showcases Macklemore's skills as a rapper.
Also listen to "Neon Cathedral," "Starting Over" and "Wing$."
Lamar's single "Swimming Pools" and verse on The Game song "The City" reveal his skill at painting pictures of life with words. You can listen to any song of your choosing from Lamar because they'll all impress you. His raw, gritty lyrics fly through the ears.
While Macklemore is talented, inspirational and groundbreaking, his ability doesn't stack up with Lamar's.
If the Grammys were about importance or social relevance, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis might deserve their award. But, the Grammys are supposed to recognize artists for their music.
"Same Love" has become an anthem for many activists. We shouldn't ignore its cultural significance, but Macklemore just didn't deserve to sweep the Grammy rap categories.
But, rest assured, I'm sure Lamar's in the studio making new hits.

HuffPo Hypes Anderson Cooper Ratings 'Surge' to #16 in Cable News
Break out the victory champagne!
Anderson Cooper has "surged" in the cable news ratings to an "amazing" 16th place. Why, he even beat out the ratings caboose of MSNBC known as Ed Schultz. The way the Huffington Post carried on with thick helpings of hype, you would have thought that Cooper had just beaten Fox News' top rated Bill O'Reilly instead of the dismal Ed Show. A very hopeful Huffington Post begins its article by posing this question:
Is CNN experiencing a ratings rebound?
Actually Anderson Cooper experienced a ratings anomaly in February due to all the publicity from getting roughed up by an Egyptian crowd in Cairo while covering the downfall of Hosni Mubarak. However, rather than toss cold water on the Huffington Post's joy in Anderson Cooper experiencing a very temporary ratings blip, let us amuse ourselves by observing their joy at Cooper's "surge" to #16:
The network had a very strong February —bolstered by its coverage of the wave of popular revolts in the Middle East — growing 31% in total viewers and 55% in the A25-54 demo in weekday primetime compared to February 2010 ratings.
The biggest success was Anderson Cooper, who found himself at the center of the network's Egypt coverage. Cooper topped MSNBC for the first time since June 2010. He beat Ed Schultz in the A25-54 demo (305,000 viewers vs. 234,000) and in total viewers (855,000 vs. 827,000).
To place things in perspective, let us note that Cooper's Fox News competitor in his 10 PM EST time slot is Greta van Susteren who at #6 in the ratings attracts 1.623 million viewers which overwhelms Cooper's 854,000 total viewers. Even the Huffington Post had to take a painful break from it's Anderson Cooper hype to very briefly note that Fox News crushes its competitors at MSNBC and CNN:
...and both networks still lag far behind Fox News, which beats its two primary competitors combined.
However, your humble correspondent prefers not to be a killjoy. Let us all rejoice in the amazing ratings "surge" of Anderson Cooper:
He's #16!
He's #16!

The Undergrads - Crayon Box
Artist: The Undergrads
Producer: Varsity Squad
Album: Orientation
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 23 total votes )
In theory, pop music is all about bringing people together, regardless of race, class or walk of life; in practice, of course, it often does the opposite, making these differences all the more apparent. Is it possible to bring the reality closer to the ideal? Marietta, Georgia crew The Undergrads, making their Booth debut with new single Crayon Box, think so – we simply need to curb the urge to make snap judgments about one another. Backed by Varsity Squad's fittingly eclectic guitar/piano-driven instrumental, rappers E. Credit, Ro and Ronvé teach us a lesson on bridging gaps and breaking stereotypes, giving a few examples of situations in which our first impressions can steer us wrong. Singer JV rounds out the lineup, tying the record together with some smooth, tuneful, hook vocals. If this catchy ode to diversity and tolerance has lifted your spirits, more feel-good music awaits on the Undergrads' Orientation LP, released back in June, and available now for free download from the group's official website.

Now this is my holy grail cleanser! Contains 20% glycolic acid compound. Some say that having actives in your cleanser is a waste as you don't leave them on your face long enough to be beneficial and you are essentially washing them down the drain. I would agree with this in theory, but strangely, my own results refute it. I stopped using this cleanser when I began using Retin A Micro in Nov '04. I was more interested in acclimating my skin to the RAM and felt the additional glycolic would be overload. So I dropped it out of my routine.
Fast forward to Sept of '05 I was experiencing horrid cystic nodules on my chin area and chalked it up to hormones and pre-menopause. I randomly rediscovered the level 3 under my sink and within 3 days of nightly use the chronic breakouts had resolved themselves!! I also know that glycolics aid in the penetration of retinoids so double bonus!
I apply this cleanser to dry skin and massage it all around(except eye area) and leave it on as long as I can stand it(it becomes itchy/burny after a short time...uncomfortable, but not excessively so.) Usually I can tolerate it perhaps the length of my shower(20mins) sometimes less. My skin feels silky soft and amazingly smooth after washing!
I usually by this from skinstore.com although sometimes you can find a deal on ebay. Approx $29 for 8oz. Well worth it since you use only a quarter size amount per washing and my bottle generally lasts 4-5 months.

I purchased these boots prior to playing a 2 day Ultimate Frisbee tournament. This was the teams biggest tournament of the year and without any time to 'wear' them in, the boots needed to be comfortable and supporting whilst being waterproof and allowing efficient foot movement and control. There was no bigger stage for me to test the new boots, which largely fulfilled my expectations.
Moisture magnet and breathability
Keeping the foot cool and dry reduces weight and boosts total efficiency. Under Armour HeatGearTM technology has been placed in the upper and performance meshes throughout the shoe to speed up moisture transport and accelerate evaporation. This technology maintains a dry, light microclimate next to the skin, moving moisture away from the foot to the shoes exterior. The tongue is constructed from a highly breathable air mesh which helps accelerate moisture transport and enable ventilated comfort.
Dual Plate Technology
The dual plate design splits the outsole into two components to reduce bulk and complements the foots natural motion. It is claimed to maximise agility and minimise weight, through material reduction. The dual plate design keeps the foot low to the ground for precise moves and explosive acceleration. The insole boards disperse cleat pressure and bridge the space between heel and forefoot, ensuring lightweight mid-foot support and forefoot flexibility. The shoe has been engineered to propel the user forward and reduce the impact on the body.
Progressive Traction
Progressive traction reinvents the traditional round football stud, implementing a built-in directional blade at the base of each stud. The round portion penetrates the ground and maintains rotational capability, while the blade offers additional directional traction.
After wearing these boots for prolonged periods of game time over the course of two days, I can firmly say that I have no issues with comfort. The support and traction provided by the boot both when sprinting into a jump and making hard cuts seemed was second to none and there were no obvious cases of slipping or ankle turning. This is more so highlighted when taking into account the playing conditions I encountered. Following heavy periods of rain, the ground was very muddy and soft, conditions that worsened as the weekend progressed with more play and bad weather. In such conditions it wouldn't be surprising for water to infiltrate the boot, however at the end of the weekends play this problem had never transpired, with the breathability and waterproofing of the shoe proving to be very successful.
Where I felt the downfall of the shoe came, was in its weight. The show was marketed as being very light, I however did not find this to be the case. The increased weight probably does help with the stability and structure of the boot, but I suspect that when running over dry hard ground the weight of the boot would severely affect the performance of the user.
Overall I feel the boot is very good and provides value for money. However I would suggest that this boot is best suited for use in winter where the ground can soft and muddy in unpredictable weather conditions. Levels of ankle support are high, and I would recommend the boot to a user that participates in a sport which requires jumping, cutting and pushing.

During a recent trip down to London to play in the UK National Baseball League I saw one of my teammates wearing a unique pair of batting gloves. The gloves made by XPROTEX, have a novel padding centered construction that claims to reduce direct impacts by a pitched ball. The gloves have outer padding protecting the back of each hand as well as a longer profile that protects the wrist. The XPROTEX website reports that the gloves were developed over a 30 month period and can reduce the impact force of a 100mph fastball to that of a 40 mph pitch. The validation studies were performed in the materials department at Cal State University. I was able to try on a pair of the gloves but did not take any at bats with them in a game situation. I think they would be an interesting alternative to more bulky hand guards but for the average player the $69.95 price tag will be quite high. The company recently sponsored the UK National Team as they competed in the European Championships.

New York Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera has been confounding hitters for well over a decade and while some pitchers rest their craft on a mix of 3 or 4 different pitches Rivera has excelled with just one – the cut fastball. This video clip from the New York Times shows how difficult it can be from the hitter's perspective when facing Rivera and how mastering a single pitch can be so effective.

Challenge Type: Strategy
Time Required: 1-5 minutes
Impact: Could be small, maybe large depending on what you're removing!
In the embedded video I share a few thoughts about how constant evaluation of your blog in terms of design elements, features/functionality, plugins, and more will help you prepare for long-term growth.
Specifically, I speak upon how removing elements can oftentimes be a healthy practice in order to prepare for long-term growth and success. There's always been an intimate relationship between pruning and growth, right?
The challenge for you today is to think about what you can take away instead of add. Perhaps it might simply be doing one blog post instead of two. Perhaps it's something more dramatic. It's up to you!
Finally, just like going to get your hair done, you do it frequently and a few times a year (perhaps more). Systematically evaluating your blog is not only a healthy practice but a strategic one as well!
