Clips make Shaw no. 1 choice
Not sure if this has popped up here yet so I thought I'd provide. Interesting with names like Hollins and JVG floating around. The silver lining? Players seem to love the guy, and his success would be one helluva story. Thats all I got. Wouldve got this up faster but Puig just went oppo for his 2nd jack of the night.

Martin Rucker's season is over before it even started. Last week the former Mizzou tight end, who the Kansas City Chiefs signed earlier this offseason, went down with a knee injury and the three worst letters a Chiefs fans can hear were uttered: A-C-L.
Romeo Crennel is the one who initially acknowledged that Rucker could have a serious injury and the doctor's second opinion unfortunately confirmed the first opinion -- Rucker needs knee surgery.
Josh Looney of the Chiefs official site writes via Twitter that the Chiefs have decided to shut him down. Rucker will be placed on injured reserve. His season is over.
It's unfortunate that Rucker didn't get an opportunity to go to training camp in St. Joe, his hometown. With another injury, you have to wonder if Rucker will ever play again.
This opens up a roster spot on the team so be on the look out for a potential signing.

Ergo Proxy Series
Tagged under Geneon/Pioneer, Manglobe, Series.
This series, by the producers of Samurai Champloo, is set in a futuristic utopian (read: dystopian) city, Romudo, where
humans and robots (called autolaves) coexist and where peace and harmony are ensured through a system of central
management that essentially discards emotion from society. However, a homicide shatters the regulated peace of the
society, and Lil Meyer, a young and ambitious investigator from the Citizen Information Board, is assigned to unravel
the mystery behind the murder, and as she uncovers more and more information, she stumbles upon a secret that threatens
to change Romudo forever.

Shoujoboy's Ergo Proxy Tv Review
When watching Ergo Proxy you'll find yourself going through three phases:
1. "Oh that was cool!"
2. "Umm, what the hell just happened?"
3. "Oh now I get it... I think... wait, no I don't"
Needless to say it's confusing throughout. I'm sure there are some reading this who are thinking I'm an outright idiot, which is fine. But I personally enjoy coherent story telling with twists and confusion throughout that all come together nicely in the end. I don't want psycho babble and episodes that just seem to exist for no other purpose than to extend the life of the anime. There was a good story hiding in there somewhere, but the dear creators hit it over the head with a shovel and buried it deep within the Earth.

Great show, I love the dark cyber punk atmosphere and the characters. Lil is one of the most original girl I've seen in the anime and Vince is the most mysterious main char ever xD still don't know what really it was about, have kind of my own interpreation of the story, which turn out to be pretty complicated in the end, tough the plot is rather linear. It has some nonsense episodes, which can spoil all the fun so just forget about them xDxChibiSakura rated 9.00:
One of the best animes I've ever watched. The story is really interesting and actually has some depth. If you like philosophical stuff, then this anime is for you. The characters are very different and likeable and the story makes you actually care about what's going to happen and sometimes you feel identified with them. I recommend this anime a lot.singlemoon rated 9.00:
I was captivated at the first episode and it almost made me crazy. xD
The earlier parts consist of endless mysteries which will be uncovered at the later episodes. Unexpected characters' characteristics and developments everyone had been waiting anxiously for.
It is truly one of the anime that will keep you guessing till the end.
Well its been a while since i posted a new watched anime ( i wonder if any one will get tired of reading these long post?), but this is another good one. So i found this at an FYE store, and i had some cash to buy a new anime with and settled on this one, mostly due to the box art. well i got it home and watched the first episode, and well... i meant to just watch 2 or 3 but i watched the first 6. even tho i had work the next day. i loved the mystery in the beginning and the whole finding yourself parts near the end. but what keeps it in my mind is the way they handled the romance in it. oh and i loved the little robot with them. there where a few parts that where confusing but where explained later. all in all i liked it a lot an i hope more people get to take the adventure with vensit law soon.Lyzhenra rated 7.00:
I didn't remember much from this but it is not really bad, it is worth watching if you didn't do it already. It is just that I have the feeling that Steins Gate, which is working on similar themes, is just better than this.

When you hear about a John Wayne movie, typically the first thing that comes to mind is a western, where he is either fighting Indians or arguing with angry frontiersmen or ranchers. For the more contemporary view, you might think of him in his roles as a soldier or a Green Beret. But rarely, if ever, does he come to mind as a romantic lead in a movie, and then combine that with Maureen O'Hara.
Having watched this movie SEVERAL times, all I can tell you is that it is just another example of how John Ford had this habit of turning everything he touched into gold. The pairing of Wayne and O'Hara is perfect, I cannot imagine anyone else in either role. The script is solid and the characters are believable. It is not a fast moving movie, which is why, I suspect, that Ford had such a hard time selling it to Hollywood when he was shopping it around.
I will not tell you the plot, storyline, etc... there are plenty of sites where you can find that, and with more information than I can provide here.What I will tell you is that if you want a fun, well written, romantic movie that does not bore you to tears.Then this is certainly it.
John Wayne shows that he can be a powerful romantic lead, never losing that "John Wayne Swagger" that we all learned to love.And Maureen O'Hara proves herself to be a worthy challenge to his affections and a great female lead.
In closing I could not do this review credit without mentioning Victor McLaglen.As the movie's antagonist, he was the perfect choice and the fight scene between his and Wayne's characters is sure to fulfill any need from the viewer to see Wayne fighting someone, just for the sake of fighting someone.
Thanks for reading.

SamuraiMarine Feb 14, 2014 @ 12:58 pmAgreed. When I was a kid, my Mom had to force me to watch this movie, and I ended up loving it. Now I have seen it several times and it never gets old. I rank it up there with "How green is my valley"
otherlleft Feb 14, 2014 @ 2:39 pmHeh, I also love The Quiet Man, but I still haven't forgiven my mother for getting me to watch How Green Was My Valley. Most depressing movie ever.
SamuraiMarine Feb 14, 2014 @ 2:51 pmIt was a sad movie, yes... but it was good. It was more a tale of what it was like to grow up in a coal town.

Cercis Feb 14, 2014 @ 9:04 amThanks for a good review of a wonderful movie...another Wayne movie along these lines and co-starring with Katherine Hepburn, but still with a western theme is "Rooster Cogburn and the Lady." A good lens, but why didn't you use more of your allotted modules? Your review is spot-on...thanks for sharing with us.
SamuraiMarine Feb 14, 2014 @ 1:00 pmI am always worried that if I use too many modules it will detract from the content. Even on my website I am careful not to put too much advertising.

SamuraiMarine Feb 14, 2014 @ 1:02 pmYou will not be disappointed. You see a gentler side of "The Duke"
Sir_Daniel_UK Feb 14, 2014 @ 7:27 amThis is going to be a hard sell to anyone under 60. And the problem with John Wayne is that he was always John Wayne; limited acting range, much like Schwarzenegger today; he's only capable of playing himself.
A valiant effort and good luck to you, but for me, at least, movies only truly make an impact when the actors forget who they are and become the characters they are playing. And there's no better exponents of that from olden times than Cagney and Brando!
SamuraiMarine Feb 14, 2014 @ 1:10 pmAgreed... for the most part. If you look at Wayne in, for example, the Searchers. There are many similarities and you have no doubt that they are the same person, but you can also see that he had to drop or manipulate the "Tough Guy" image to fit the role, and so you end up with a "Romantic Tough Guy".
I also agree with your assessment of Cagney and Brando... For example, Brando in Apocalypse Now is nowhere near the same man as the Brando in Don Juan de Marco or Streetcar. Cagney was great because of the Vaudevillian influence on his style. Yankee Doodle Dandy will always be a fovorite of mine, but then you see his diversity in movies like "Man of a Thousand Faces" and "Mister Roberts."
Thanks for the comment, Daniel. Always appreciated and always like talking to a fellow film nut.
BTW... I am SIGNIFICANTLY under sixty years old. :-)
Susan52 Feb 13, 2014 @ 4:42 pmI've never seen The Quiet Man, but you've convinced me that it's a must-see. Great review!
SamuraiMarine Feb 13, 2014 @ 4:51 pmThanks... you will not be disappointed.
I have talked to many people that, when I suggest this movie, say something like, "John Wayne? I am not into westerns."
I then have to explain that it is not a western and deviates quite a bit from his usual work.
If you think about it, post again when you have seen it and let me know what you thought of it.

In fact, now I think about it, I haven't heard "to work somebody/something out of something/somebody" as any kind of idiom. The only use I can think of is in DIY when you have a nail stuck in a wall you need to "work the nail out of the wall" - in this context it means to extract it slowly and gradually, probably using the pointy forked end of a hammer, or with pliers. Even then, it would be "to work something out of something else".

Korean Passenger Airline Crashes In San Francisco [VIDEO]
According to KCBS in San Francisco — An Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 crashed at San Francisco International Airport just before noon Saturday.
It was flight 214 from Seoul, South Korea, initially said to be a cargo plane – but later was identified as a passenger jet.
The airlines said 291 people were on board. San Francisco Fire Department told CBS News that two people were killed, with over 100 injured, some critically, and that the number of injured "will go up."

A fundraiser is planned on Friday night for the Montana State University's sports cameraman, Conner Firstman who is battling cancer.
When Conner Firstman was 17 years old, he discovered a lump on his wrist. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2010.
"40 tumors were removed, right and left lung, no bigger than a marble but as small as a pin head," said Conner Firstman.
Firstman has also gone through multiple surgeries and radiation treatments.
"They were trying to grow cells from the cancer they removed to make a vaccine. It's worked before with some other cancers, but not mine," said Conner.
Recently, a new tumor developed behind his heart in his lung. So right now, he is going through a systemic trial, which hopefully will get rid of the disease entirely throughout the body.
"I take oral chemo therapy pills right now," said Conner Firstman. "The hope is that it will start killing the disease from within the tumor and kill the outer layers as it goes."
Conner's mom, Mary Ann Firstman said it's hard seeing her son go in and out of the hospital, but said he has stayed strong through it all.
"He has an amazing strength. His faith is amazing, but I know he goes to those dark places too," said Mary Ann.
And she said it's brought their family closer.
"You have to work together," said Mary Ann. "It makes you appreciate each other more."
Firstman said the support from the community has helped him get through everything.
"I'm incredibly thankful. We all feel very blessed to be a part of this community and this place," said Conner.
Conner will be heading back to Washington on Monday to see if the chemo therapy pills worked.
The fundraiser will take place on Friday evening at the C'mon Inn in Bozeman beginning at 6 p.m.

The Bottom Line
- Good coverage of the low back and its pain scenarios.
- An easy read.
- Minor, but the page numbers are written out in all caps, rather than communicated with numerals.
- Treat Your Own Back, 7th ed. by Robin McKenzie
- Published by Spinal Publications, Waikanae, New Zealand. 2002
- 80 pages
Guide Review - Book Review of Treat Your Own Back by Physical Therapist Robin McKenzie
Robin McKenzie's Treat Your Own Back is a companion book to his Treat Your Own Neck. Both are consumer friendly how-to books giving background, exercises and lifestyle tips to address spine pain. Treat Your Own Back, as the name suggests, focuses on the low back. It is a bit longer than Treat Your Own Neck, but it includes McKenzie's ideas on holistic therapies and special situations such as pregnancy and back pain. (Treat Your Own Neck does not cover these topics in as much detail.) For example, McKenzie believes that only 20% of people with back pain can benefit from a chiropractic adjustment.
McKenzie begins Treat Your Own Back by acknowledging the elusive nature of most types of back pain. But, as he does in Treat Your Own Neck, the author maintains that, regardless of cause, your back pain is your responsibility.
McKenzie is a physiotherapist from Australia. He has been around the back pain world for a very long time, and his work is respected. Treat Your Own Back clearly demonstrates that he is an expert on how and where to draw the line as to when you should consult with your doctor and when it's okay to fashion your own program. (Creating and working on your own program is based on his recommendations, of course). So although he is firm in his approach of "you are responsible for your own pain", his instructions as to how to go about accomplishing this goal can be trusted, in my opinion.
It is amazing to me how much valuable information is packed in such a thin volume. For example, in Treat Your Own Back, McKenzie will show and tell you how to sit, drive, lie on your side, stand, vacuum, lift heavy boxes and use a lumbar roll for support. He will then go on to thoroughly and clearly instruct you as to how to perform his exercises and how to use them, whether for therapy or for prevention of pain. (Some of the aspects of the exercises that change, based on your condition include - but are not limited to- number of sets and reps.)
And as I mentioned above, McKenzie reviews common treatments, including a few holistic ones (acupuncture and chiropractic). He also covers special populations and back pain: Osteoporosis, athletes, pregnancy and more. As with Treat Your Own Back, McKenzie gives careful instruction for different pain scenarios several times, in a few different ways. If you pay attention, you won't miss the special instructions for various pain patterns. If you are at all unsure about how to use the exercises in the book, or if your particular pain pattern is not discussed in the book, please consult your doctor or ask your physical therapist for exercise instruction.
Like Treat Your Own Neck, Treat Your Own Back provides exercise instruction and guidance for daily activities and tasks in a succinct, but readable form. But Treat Your Own Back goes further. It includes discussions for a number of different type of back pain sufferers. These discussions are long and meaty. I particularly love his last topic "Back Pain in the Community".

Brig. Gen. Joselito P Avancena: New head of the AFP medical center
Posted on 05 August 2012 by mikeinmanila
Quezon City— The Armed Forces of the Philippines has a new Surgeon General, and Commanding General of the AFP Medical Center (AFPMC) who relinquished their positions in a turnover ceremony held at the AFPMC last Thursday, August 2, 2012.
Brig. Gen. Joselito P Avancena assumed the post of The Surgeon General (TSG). Avancena who was the AFPMC commander since October 2010, will now be in charge of putting into framework the policies and guidance that he envisioned for the AFP medical services, having worked in the various medical units of the AFP.
Avancena was also Chief Surgeon of the Philippine Navy and the Commanding Officer of the Cavite and Manila Naval Hospitals. He was also a recipient of various military awards, including two Distinguished Service Stars and two Presidential Unit Citation Badges.
Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. Normando Sta Ana Jr, the outgoing Surgeon General of the AFP, assumed the post of Commander of the AFPMC. Brig. Gen. Sta Ana was the former Chief Surgeon of the Philippine Air Force, Commanding Officer of the Air Force General Hospital and Fernando Air Base Hospital.
AFP Chief of Staff General Jessie D Dellosa said that Brig. Gen. Sta Ana's appointment to the AFPMC and Brig. Gen. Avancena's appointment as TSG will bring further improvements and enhancements in the AFP's medical and health policies and services. "This change of command is just one of the many steps we have to take in reforming the Health and Medical services in the AFP. From this day onwards, we are to embark on various measures that will surely amend our system of catering to our clients' needs," Gen Dellosa said.
Gen Dellosa also expected a more accessible and customer oriented AFPMC that are "very essential requirements that must be ensured by our new TSG Commander, AFPMC." He also expected the new leaderships of the AFPMC and TSG to formulate policies or actions that adhere to good governance and conform to the thrust and vision of the current AFP leadership.
"We must also promote career and personnel development among our military medical practitioners, rotation and deployment to field units of health and medical service providers (medical professionals) will be carried out. With this, we want you to see other aspects of the AFP and be able to realize how to better serve our soldiers, particularly those who are in the high-risk and far-flung areas," Gen Dellosa added.


text: Fortune Brands is breaking up but no, they're not selling their spirits division. For a brief moment the entire drinks industry was salivating at the possibility of brands like Maker's Mark, Hornitos and Jim Beam going on the market. Fortune, however, has other plans. In December the company announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved in principle a separation of the company's three strong consumer businesses: distilled spirits, home and security, and golf products. Fortune will keep the spirits company and sell off its Acushnet unit, which includes brands such as Titleist and Footjoy, and spin off on a tax-free basis to shareholders its home and hardware business, which includes Moen faucets and Master locks. The announcement came two months after activist investor William Ackman took an 11 percent stake in the company, becoming its largest shareholder. The transactions are expected to take several months to complete.

« I used to kinda play her to the left a little bit like nah Ima act like I don't like her, I don't wanna talk to her, because I was nervous, I was like man I don't know what the hell to say. I put my guard up most of the time until I actually hung out and we was just chilling, I was like - dang! this girl is cool. She not regular, she's not looking at me like oh you Chris Brown. »

Ariana Grande talks about her duet with Chris Brown
from 2:06
"I did a really cool song with Chris Brown called 'Don't Be Gone Too Long,' and that's his single, so technically I'm featured on his, but it became like a duet," Ariana explains. "We both sing the whole thing together." So then will it be on her album too? "I don't know if it is or not, but it's on his," she adds. "It's probably going to be on both, but I don't know for sure yet because mine isn't 100 percent done yet."
Rihanna - TRL interview 2008.
"where have you been…..I see you on the mtv movie awards you're sitting next to some r&b guy, apparently he can dance really well….i doubt it"
"one of the activities I hear you're pursuing is skate boarding…"
"What was the process working with Chris Brown?"
"He was writing some songs for a bunch of people, when I heard Disturbia I said I am taking this song, I don't care who this is for, this is my song! This is Rihanna and I took it!"
I mean, he knew he was writing for me, but at the same time it was very organic to what he does, but when you hear the songs, I don't think you would think, like, 'Oh, he wrote 'Same Girl.' He wrote 'Emotions." There's very different things that he did for me on the album."
— Jennifer Lopez on working with Chris Brown
Chris Brown talks Rihanna and drops new single "Nobody's Business"
Here you can read Rihanna's interview for VOGUE
The Barbados beach is lit like a Monet. The sun is setting hazily behind Rihanna as she shakes sand out of her pearl-embellished sandals and concentrates on the stepping moves a young girl is demonstrating. Laughing, Rihanna claps her hands and tries to keep up with the other members of dance4life, a program that educates local kids about HIV and AIDS through dance. Maybe she's having a great time, or maybe she's just trying to put the teen, whose voice is quivering with nerves, at ease.
The 26-year-old of Internet-crushing fame surprised these kids (who I feared might black out when their idol strolled over to greet them) as part of her work as M.A.C's Viva Glam spokesperson for 2014. The annual initiative, which started 20 years ago with a bold campaign featuring RuPaul, aims to raise $41 million for AIDS research this year alone by donating 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the signature lip colour.
Rihanna seems at home here on the beach, even with tourists circling and holding their phones out like weapons. Then again, she is home. It's her grandfather's birthday this weekend, and she managed to squeeze in an early stop at Chefette, the popular Bajan fast-food chain, for a spicy roti. The sun has set by the time we sit down upstairs on the balcony of a suite at the posh Sandy Lane resort on the western coast of the island, but Robyn Rihanna Fenty is still glowing. "I didn't know that I would have to learn a dance today," she says, cracking up. "I'm so serious! I thought I was just going to watch. I would never have worn this skirt or this long-sleeved black jacket!" She smooths her Lanvin pencil skirt and oversized top, making her gold-and-pearl bangles jingle. "But it was fun," she adds. "It was harder than I thought it would be."
Despite the fact that Rihanna has sold over 30 million albums since Jay-Z signed her to Def Jam in 2005, it seems like she has had her challenges. She had a very public and tumultuous relationship with singer Chris Brown, and the paparazzi stalk her constantly, trying to get a snap of her chameleon hair—today, black andbuzzed down one side—or her adventurous outfits.
"Are you a misfit?" I ask her. She cocks her head. "Hmm, what do you think?" I genuinely don't know. I saw the performer stalk around the stage like a panther at the Toronto stop of her private (and wild) 777 concert tour in November 2012, hurling good-natured profanity, and now I'm faced with this soft-spoken girl.
She doesn't seem to know how to answer the question either. "I think I embraced the person I am after I understood that I'm not going to find somebody else in the world who's going to think exactly like me and agree with everything I think and live the way I want to live," she explains. She only hooked that kind of equanimity four years ago though, she says. (It was roughly around when her relationship with Chris Brown imploded for the first time, but I don't say as much.) "You just come to a place where you want to actually live," she continues. "You don't want to just exist; you want to have fun, you want to be free and you want to know that you did it the way you wanted. Years from now, you can look back at memories and things that made you happy—that's what's important."
Though Rihanna moved to NYC when she was 16, trying to lock down a record deal, she reportedly just bought a sprawling home next to the hotel we're in now, neighbouring one of Simon Cowell's mansions. She's often working to combine her roots with her new larger-than-life existence. In fact, her manager, Jay Brown, is outside making hushed phone calls about upcoming video shoots and her mom, Monica, is sitting in the other room. "What I'm really scared of is not being in control," she explains. I'm about to ask about her reputation for late shows and later nights, when she seems to anticipate my question. "That's why I can't get too drunk; I can't do anything that takes charge of me," she says. "That's what I want for young women: to be in control of themselves and be in control of their lives. It's so easy for people to be…" She trails off, trying to find the right word. "I don't want to say submissive, but weak-minded…. I want to encourage them, especially when it comes to protecting themselves."
She holds her hands in her lap, earnest for a moment. Sex is what she wants to talk about, not crazy concert rumours or her Instagram feed. "The AIDS epidemic has been around for as long as I have been alive, which really puts it into perspective," she explains. "Roughly half of the new infections are in people 24 years old or younger, with the majority being female." Rihanna is hoping to use the platform she has built on sexy lyrics like "Boy, can you get it up?" to remove the stigma around sex and, hopefully, encourage girls to protect themselves.
It's clear that the Caribbean rate of AIDS infections, the second-highest outside of sub-Saharan Africa, unsettles her. She just donated $1.75 million to a Bajan hospital. She has become something of a monarch on the small island of Barbados—a position that, historically, comes with equal parts veneration and venom. On my way into town from the airport, the cab driver, like some sort of volunteer star tracker, let me know that Rihanna was at her brother's club. When I was sitting on the beach that morning, a man shilling snorkelling tours started his sales pitch with "So, you like RiRi?" before rolling his eyes. Much like "aloha" to Hawaiians, Rihanna's name seems to mean everything in this place. "Even though sometimes they might come off as a little aggressive or a little snappy about certain decisions I make, that's just the way people are in Barbados. I understand it—I'm one of them, so it doesn't matter; I love them," she says with a smile. "They love me too, even if they don't say it."
She's trying to shut out other people's opinions about her life anyway. "I never want to lose myself," she says quietly. "It's really easy to get pulled in lots of different directions, and I never want to get pulled so far deep that I can't come out. There are things that happen in your life that you can't control, but I want to control as much as possible." I wonder how she maintains any kind of command over a life that is both more scheduled and frantic than Grand Central station. She talks easily about idle pastimes like painting and cooking, dismissing the fact that she practically never has time to indulge in them by explaining that they're still "fun." She seems to punctuate her thoughts that way: by throwing out "it's fun" and flashing a smile. Perhaps a reminder that, despite the ever-tightening vice of galactic fame, she's still young and beautiful and having the time of her life. But is she happy? "Yes!" she shouts, a mischievous smile on her face. "I can't complain! If I complain, God would slap me in my face right now."

MTV: Rihanna 'Excited' To Share Nomination With Mikky Ekko


text:
A little after midnight Saturday morning, Austin Police were called out to an industrial complex near Mopac and 183 (9400 block of Neils Thompson) for a broken glass alarm.
As the first officer drove up, police say he saw a guy putting something into a car.
As the officer parked, they then say the suspicious car backed up and started plowing into his police car.
Police say the officer yelled at the suspects to put their hands up. The passenger did as he was told but the driver just kept on coming -- pinning the officer's patrol unit against a tree.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said the officer was basically riding the floorboard, holding the door with one hand and his pistol with the other.
"The officer, fearing that he was going to be ejected and either pinned and killed or seriously injured, discharged several rounds...a volley of rounds at the driver," Acevedo said.
Acevedo says the passenger, a 20-year-old white male was taken into custody. The driver -- who Acevedo describes as a 40-year-old "white male-Hispanic" was taken to Brackenridge.
"I can tell you that the entire incident is captured on video. When we release that video, it will be a very powerful tool for the prosecutor, the grand jury and ultimately the people of the city to see exactly what happened out there," Acevedo said.
Acevedo was asked how he feels about his officer's reaction to this situation in light of recent criticism of the department and their use of lethal force.
"Everybody always wants to play a numbers game in our city whether we've had too many shootings, not enough shootings. That's not the issue. The issue is for me and I think for...I don't want to speak for the [police] monitor or for our community is...we don't need to look at the number of shootings, we need to look at the officers. Every single incident is taken as a stand alone incident and is judged by the totality of the facts, the circumstances and the evidence. And it's not a matter of whether it's too many or too little, it's a matter of whether the use of force was lawful," Acevedo said.
The driver who was shot was in stable but serious condition at Brackenridge as of this morning.
The officer only has a minor leg injury. Of course he's being put on administrative leave during the investigation.
Acevedo didn't know whether the two men were armed or not, but says they used their vehicle as a deadly weapon.

melodic minor scale
The melodic minor is one of the three main kinds of minor scale, the others being the natural minor and the harmonic minor. The melodic minor scale came about because some composers found that, in writing melody lines, the interval of three semitones between the 6th and 7th notes of the harmonic minor scale was unacceptably large. To deal with this, they raised the 6th note of the scale by a semitone. The result is a smoother melodic flow. This method is only used when ascending the scale. Upon descending, it isn't important to have the semitone interval between the 7th and 8th notes, because the melodic flow is naturally smooth. Therefore, the ordinary natural minor scale is used. A well known song that uses the melodic minor is Greensleeves.

Foreign Affairs: The year authority broke down
12/26/2013 22:28
The leader of the most powerful empire in history, after four years of much-heralded preparations, failed to properly launch not only his flagship reform, but even just its website.
US President Barack Obama at the White House

Citizens of the world watching US President Barack Obama scrambling to restore his honor between unfounded promises and confusing alternatives wondered with a mixture of anxiety and amusement: Is this the most powerful man in the world? And the answer was, and remains, that Obama still is the most powerful man in the world, but government is no longer what it once was.
The year that ends next Tuesday was exceptionally bad for political power, of whatever system or location, as social upheaval proliferated, governmental ineptitude soared, and the international system increasingly seemed like a lawless Wild West town begging a sheriff.
The fiasco in the fall surrounding Obama's healthcare reform followed the eruption over the summer of revelations by ex-National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, widely seen as the most colossal and severe document leak in American history.
Exposing American surveillance tactics and targets, who included world leaders from the president of Brazil to the chancellor of Germany as well as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu – the leaks had no precedent, including the Pentagon Papers' publication in 1971.
The latter, while elaborate, focused on one sphere of government activity, and that too in one arena only, namely US policy in Vietnam. Snowden's, by contrast, exposed a global surveillance operation that, along with Julian Assange's WikiLeaks earlier this decade, raised doubts concerning any government's ability to keep anything secret in an age of dramatically condensed and easily publishable information.
The failure so far to arrest both men further underscores a governmental ineffectiveness that increasingly seems like an unfolding zeitgeist's hallmark.
The 16-day shutdown of the US government in October intensified a growing sense that the art of government has either grown dated, or somehow been forgotten.
The decline in governmental authority has not been unique to the US, or indeed to the free world.
The breakdown of power is global, and it is both horizontal and vertical, affecting interplay between strong and weak states as well as relations between the masses and their leaders.
In the international arena, China last year failed to impose itself on its North Korean satellite, which in March stunned the world with a festive announcement that it was making preparations for war with South Korea, and the following month threatened the US with a nuclear attack.
On the face of it, this kind of conduct reflects authority, but in fact it represents its breakdown, because in the previous world, the one inhabited by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's father and grandfather, Pyongyang knew its place in the global hierarchy, which was firmly under Beijing. Its saber rattling this year was clearly disagreeable to its sponsor, but in a world of declining authority, the North Korean dictator ignored China.
This spirit of anarchy resurfaced when Kim executed his uncle and deputy, who was pivotal in maintaining North Korea's previously servile relations with the giant to its north.
China also failed to assert itself vis-à-vis Japan.
Beijing's announcement of an air defense zone above disputed islands in the East China Sea was roundly ignored by Tokyo, which immediately sent fighter planes into the same zone, in disregard of China's expectation that such sorties follow its approval. A consequent war of words smacked of Cold War dynamics, and only highlighted China's failure to deliver geopolitical authority in Asia.
A similar pattern emerged in the Middle East. Syria launched gas attacks on its people in disregard not only of America's threats but also of its Russian sponsor's interests. The fact that both powers later maneuvered Damascus into a chemical disarmament deal is misleading. Strategically, the tail wagged the dog, as President Bashar Assad survived despite the powers' desire that he leave.
This is, of course, besides the fact that within Syria, millions are displaced and starving while fewer than half the people have jobs, and the currency is hardly worth the paper on which it is printed – effectively, government has ceased to exist.
And that is beside the fact that in neighboring Iraq, 8,000 people were killed in sectarian fighting as another country effectively broke up, while the rest of the world all but lost interest.
Meanwhile, over in Europe, a fourth country arrived in the financial emergency room – and it, too, was treated to a full bailout program. The bailout of Cyprus came on the heels of the hefty bailouts for Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
Though Germany loomed tall as a bastion of stability, with Chancellor Angela Merkel's impressive electoral victory en route to a third consecutive term, the EU that Germany lynchpins seemed in 2013 a crooked welding of irresponsible have-nots with disempowered haves. In an economically stagnant Western Europe, with Belgium on the brink of ethnic schism while Scotland and Catalonia inch closer to secession from Britain and Spain, "European authority" seems like an oxymoron.
Authority fared not much better in the Muslim world in 2013.
In Egypt, what initially seemed like a long-term Islamist incumbency came to an abrupt end, as president Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were swept from power by a strange combination of rioters and generals.
The new government seemed initially to be imposing its will; however, violence soon erupted in Sinai and then crept to the Egyptian mainland.
This week a powerful explosion in a police station killed 14 people, making it ever more plain that even in authoritarian Egypt, authority remains mercurial.
Egypt's failure to establish authority is arguably excusable, considering its weak economy and its 60-year military rule until the downfall of Hosni Mubarak nearly three years ago. That cannot be said of Turkey, a prosperous and relatively veteran democracy. After a decade of impressive stability under Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Islamist government, thousands rioted in Istanbul, and millions throughout Turkey, as the government faced a grassroots protest movement whose eruption it did not see coming.
The riots' trigger, a plan to build a mall and a mosque on one of Istanbul's last parks, was but a pretext for letting out disgruntlement with a government that, as the protesters saw it, was trying to enter people's daily lives too frequently and too deeply.
Subsequent corruption allegations involving Erdogan's immediate circle, and the consequent resignations of three cabinet ministers followed by a broader shakeup, after mass dismissals of police officers involved in the graft arrests underscored Erdogan's sense of diminishing authority.
Spontaneous riots also erupted this year in Brazil, Sweden and Thailand, each with own circumstances.
The Brazilian upheaval in June and July began with demands for free public transportation, which then evolved to a broader clean government agenda that swept through many cities. The Swedish riots in May involved disenfranchised Arab and African immigrants and focused on Stockholm. And the Thai unrest this month was driven by growing revulsion with the country's parliamentary governments, making some demand that the king directly appoint a government of technocrats.
HOVERING ABOVE the decline in state power and the rise in people power was the zenith of wire power.
The contrast between the agility with which anonymous individuals abused computerized state data, and the clumsiness with which the White House handled its health insurance website, could hardly be more telling.
The same went for the gap between the speed with which the masses unleashed themselves through social networks on their governments, and the helplessness with which the governments repeatedly arrived for these showdowns.
The intensifying fear that the people are about to riot is making governments increasingly insecure and introverted. This is certainly true of the US, but also of China, which this year said it will ease its one-child policy, allowing some to have two children, and also shut down its notorious labor camps.
These are of course happy developments, but in an age of diminishing authority, they likely reflect fear of the people rather than altruism, let alone an appreciation for freedom.
The lawless information highway, it turned out, has come to constitute a menace to government wherever it is – even in North Korea, which uncharacteristically announced its purges, apparently realizing that in today's world they would become known in any case.
Next year the trend will only intensify, as broadcast television's retreat will accelerate in the face of online video alternatives that will arrive in millions of living rooms faster, sharper and cheaper through improved broadband infrastructure and redesigned TV sets.
The relationship between the rise of high technology and the decline in the power of states and superpowers remains enigmatic, but the actual crisis of political power is manifest and perplexing.
Pray for the state, cautioned the sages, because if it had not been for the state's fear, people would swallow each other alive. In 2013, more and more people feared government less and less.
This trend may ultimately prove to hold more promise than menace, but it also might result in people turning on each other – perhaps as soon as 2014.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Now in her fourth full season, Nellie Partow has made a name for herself as a designer who eschews trends in favor of timelessness (give or take a statement jumpsuit). Chalk her straightforward aesthetic up to her ten years working at Calvin Klein before she set out on her own."You can only be authentic to yourself," Partow told Style.com this week at a preview of her Spring '13 lineup. "I'm driven by making interchangeable items that will live in my customers' closets for years."
Like her previous collections, the latest features gorgeous silks, wools, and linens sourced entirely from family-operated Italian mills, and was produced in New York's Garment District. "I fully support local businesses in both countries," she says, even if that means getting her textile orders in a little early to account for Italy's famous month-long summer vacations. "I still don't know anyone who finishes silks like the Italians; it's in their blood."
Knits have emerged as a signature. There were several rose gold-colored tanks here that incorporated a variety of cable stitches that "look like pieces of armor on the body," according to Partow, and took two weeks apiece to hand-knit. Other standouts include tailored jackets with flouncy peplums as well as easy shift dresses trimmed in python-effect nubuck. (Partow, like many of us, is tired of loud prints and prefers playing with subtle textures). The designer herself is a self-described "pants" girl (as an avid boxer, she's apparently got a bit of a tomboy streak in her) and showed a lipstick red cap-sleeve jumpsuit that will have women forgoing their evening gowns for all-in-one functionality. For Partow, classic shapes plus quality fabrics multiplied by self-confidence equals true style that doesn't fade. It's a simple formula that proves difficult for many designers to execute, but considering recent pickups by Saks Fifth Avenue, where she hangs next to labels including Stella McCartney and The Row, and a slew of smaller boutiques, it appears Partow is on the right track.

Scottish Government defends decision over Megrahi release
This morning, Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon defended the Scottish Government's decision to release Megrahi from prison in 2009:
– Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland
Compassion is a long-standing principle in the Scottish criminal justice system. (Justice Secretary) Kenny MacAskill took the decision to release Megrahi on compassionate grounds because he was dying of terminal prostate cancer. One of the things that I hope will happen as a result of Megrahi's death is that some of the wilder conspiracy theories surrounding his release will now be laid to rest. He did have terminal prostate cancer and he died of terminal prostate cancer.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is targeting the makers of the Nap Nanny and Chill Infant Recliners because the product has been involved in several infants' deaths.
On Wednesday, the CPSC filed a complaint against Baby Matters, LLC, alleging that the Nap Nanny Generation One and Two, and Chill model infant recliners contain defects in the design, which pose a substantial risk of injury and death to infants.
The Commission voted 3-0 to approve the filing of the complaint, which seeks an order requiring that the firm notify the public of the defect and offer consumers a full refund.
CPSC is aware of four infants who died in Nap Nanny Generation Two recliners and a fifth death involved the Chill model.
To date, CPSC has received a total of over 70 additional incident reports of children nearly falling out of the product.
For more information regarding the recall, please visit http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml13/13058.html.

Danny O'Neil gave us some good partial transcript of a session John Schneider did with the media at the combine. Sure makes it seem like they won't be making an offer to Chris Spencer, and Unger will be at Center. Now, that's Carroll's call, of course, and they have a new line coach, and they may make an acquistion in free agency or the draft. Could be Mike Pouncey, for instance. But it's either Spencer or someone else. I am aware and probably more concerned with Spencer's drawbacks than most; I see his talent but it only partially makes up for what he lacks. When he makes a flawless and beautiful block on an LB after peeling off a double-team, that's awesome, but all I need is the effectiveness of getting in a guy's way for a moment. I don't want an inability to push forward up the gut to be a ball and chain for the offense forever. I know things are rarely static, but he contributed to the problem.
But I have to say the thought of going with Unger makes me re-consider my ambivalence to retaining Spencer. I just can't imagine it would be an overall net upgrade in performance. Far removed from equalling Spencer. That's not how personnel moves ought to be made; Spencer oughtn't be re-signed due to the relative issues with at-hand replacements short-term. But just a thought. It concerns me for the 2011 season.
But then Doug Farrar posted the video of Schneider's chat, and it was enjoyable. The gyst is that he agrees with the notion that he's in the middle ground, philosophically, between Ted Thompson's steadfast organic talent farming and Ron Wolf's comfort in spending capital for Brett Favre and Reggie White.
The interesting part here was alluded to in O'Neil's transcript, Schneider saying Ron Wolf wasn't afraid to make mistakes. His anecdotes suggest when he talked to Wolf about the Whitehurst trade, Wolf didn't like the player (from limited knowledge), and didn't think Schneider ought to have made the trade...BUT didn't necessarily think Schneid gave up too much to get him.
Anyway, interesting perspective, and it makes me both like and respect Schneider more.

Neighbors are on edge after a distracted burglary in a Cape Coral community and fear they could be next.
It happened early Friday morning at Bella Vida, a gated community on Del Prado Boulevard near US-41.
The victim said someone rang her doorbell four times around 5 a.m., but she didn't answer. In panic, she said she barricaded herself and her two young daughters in a room.
Then, she says, someone broke in through her back sliding doors.
Neighbors we spoke to tell us this sounds familiar. In the past four weeks, neighbors have heard their doorbells ring in the middle of the night.
When they check to see who it is, the person is gone. Valerie Austin says it happened to her and her neighbor just last week.
"Then it was later that day that my neighbors came over and said, 'did you have your doorbell rung early this morning?' I said, 'yeah' and they said 'we did too.' But they had their screen door cut to their lanai because their door was locked," she explained.
The victim of the recent break-in didn't want to speak on camera, but is shaken up. Police dusted for fingerprints and are still searching for the person responsible.
Police say you should report any suspicious activity even if nothing actually happens as it's import for them to keep record.

News: Juelz Santana Keeps Dipset Flag Flying High, "The Bird Is Always Gonna Be In The Sky" [Video]
Monday, Dec 28, 2009 4:45PM
As tension continues to rise among members of Dipset, Juelz Santana recently spoke on why despite estranged relationships, their legacy moves forward in hip-hop.
According to Santana, the combined efforts of Jim Jones, Cam'ron, Freekey Zekey and himself led to Dipset's movement.
"The bird is always gonna be in the sky," Santana promised in an interview. "They be flying high all day everyday. Can't nobody stop that no matter how much n*ggas wanna stop that, no matter what nobody say. Each one of us got our own right to say Dipset for whatever reasons because we all put bricks in that building. It's not just a name that's copyrighted, it's something that n*ggas put work in to. Everybody put a lot of work into that building, well at least the four main characters which is me, Jim, Zeke and Cam. Or if they wanna say Cam, Zeke, Jim and me. However you wanna put it." (The Cost Mag)
Juelz recently spoke on the status of a long-speculated Dipset reunion.
"If we can get back together and make it right its cool, its whatever, but I been grinding and putting the Skull Gang movement together," Santana explained in an interview. "I mean it wasn't about distancing myself from Cam. The business wasn't weighing out if you put it on a scale you know what I mean. That's why I never disrespect Cam or even say nothing bad because I respect the fact that he gave me the opportunity to even be here and I'm from Harlem, I'm a hustler so I ain't never going to look back. I'm in the middle of the ocean its either drown or get to the other f**king side. I ain't swimming backwards, I ain't doing that. At the end of the day I put in a lot of work into that Diplomat sh*t and like I said I still rep the bird to this day and its never like an I turned my back on it thing, its just the business was something that needed to get fixed and it just seemed that for some reason the communication wasn't there so the business didn't get fixed and it just left a sour taste especially with the way I looked at him. I looked at Cam like a brother, so it's like to where somebody is doing something that you don't expect." (All Hip Hop)
Last month, however, Cam said the Dipset reunion talks should be ignored.
"When I shake somebody's hand, [my Diplomat tattoo] is what you see," Cam said in an interview. "Shake hands. The only thing that bothers me is when n*ggas be like, 'Oh, so you can be down with Dipset? They gonna put you back down?' How can you put somebody back down for something that they own? Keepin' it a hundred, Dipset is Dipset but Dipset is over. They gotta get over it." (World Star Hip Hop)
After being accused of stealing funds by Freekey Zekey, Jim Jones aired out his issues on a track called "Feel Me," which he later defended.
"Shouts to Zeeky, f*cking punk!," Jones explained in an interview. "He wasn't lying about things like that. I wasn't stealing, though. I don't steal. So he put the track out, put some real life situations out. Some parts of our history and things like that, but I felt I needed to respond. We're having fun, so I felt I needed to respond. With the Diplomats, there was a lot of people involved in it. So that part is more frustrating than anything and sh*t. You start thinking about the money, and become a realist. There's a lot of motherf*ckin' money at stake. I'm just saying, it's hard out here to make a dollar, especially now. So if you got people offering you millions and millions of dollars that could feed other people. Not just about me and you, buddy, there's other people. You claim you love Zeek so much and all that sh*t. If n*ggas are telling me, Zeek can make a mill and some change, what's happening boss?" (Complex)

While I find all of the Mocks being done entertaining, I'm going to with hold any predictions until later in the year when there is a clearer picture of what players are going to be available and what the final draft order will be. In the mean time, one thing we can discuss is what the Rams should do with their own Free Agents. Here are my thoughts.
Restricted Free Agents
LB Justin Cole RFA - Re-Sign - good depth at OLB and Special Teams
FS Darian Stewart RFA - Re-Sign - has potential to start and is a good special teams player
Exclusive Rights Free Agents
TE Mike McNeill ERFA - Re-Sign - young player with potential to develop into a contributor
DL Jermelle Cudjo ERFA - Re-Sign - Cudjo had a great year as a rotation guy on and provides solid depth at DT
Unrestricted Free Agents
QB Kellen Clemens UFA - Release - Davis showed positives in the PreSeason and they could find a cheaper alternative
WR Danny Amendola UFA - Re-Sign - top WR on the team but I hope they don't over pay
WR Brandon Gibson UFA - Release - inability to stay consistent and lack of the big play makes him expendable
WR Steve E. Smith UFA - Release - wasn't able to find his way on the field with Danny hurt and Quick struggling
OT Barry Richardson UFA - Release - while Richardson was decent RT needs to be upgraded
OT Robert Turner UFA - Re- Sign - a huge part of the success of the team this year and should be the number one OL depth player for the future
OG Chris Williams UFA - Re-Sign - for the right price his potential is worth a roster spot
DL William Hayes UFA - Re-Sign Hayes should win the award for the best FA signing in the NFL
DL Trevor Laws UFA - Re-Sign he hit IR during camp but his potential could be nice for depth
LB Mario Haggan UFA - Release his only real contribution was on special teams and he had penalty issues
LB Rocky McIntosh UFA - Re-Sign While I feel this position needs upgrading McIntosh played well and could be a nice rotation guy
CB Bradley Fletcher UFA - Re-Sign for the right price Fletcher is an outstanding 4th corner
S Craig Dahl UFA - Release Dahl probably won't be in the NFL next season
The biggest name that isn't on this list yet is Steven Jackson. I would expect for him to make his decision by mid February whether he wants to test the FA market or to make a new deal with the Rams. Obviously I think the Rams are a better team with Jackson but at 30 it needs to be at the right price.
**Sorry for the spaced out format...had some weird issues with things lining up right

Which trails are usable right now?
By Fitz on May 30, 2012 in Outdoors
Can anyone give me some tips on which trails are usable after our recent monsoons? I tried to run in Bagley Nature Area early last week and even after one day of heavy rain it was pretty soaked. I'm looking for somewhere on the east side of the city to take a run tonight. Hawk Ridge is my favorite, but I'm guessing it will be a complete mud pit for a while.

There are close to 3 million government workers and most of them are considered "essential," but several hundred thousand federal employees will be forced to stay home if a government shutdown happens.
We don't know exactly what will happen until it actually takes effect. The last time the government shut down was late 1995 into 1996. It lasted for 21 days and cost the country $1.4 billion.
Here's the basics of what you need to know in the event of a shutdown:
The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, estimates half its 670,000 members would be furloughed, while the other half would work, but not get paid until after a deal is reached. It's not clear if furloughed workers would receive back pay once the government resumes.
The next battle Congress will have to deal with is the country's credit limit. The US is on the verge of maxing out its $16.7 trillion credit card. And President Barack Obama has to ask Congress to raise the limit.
But, like the potential government shutdown, the Affordable Care Act being used as leverage when it comes to trying to hammer out a deal.
The debt ceiling deadline is Oct. 17.

Moses did wonders with his staff. Holder wonders what his does. @esqcapades—
Razor (@hale_razor) May 30, 2013
Dr. Michael Eric Dyson's claim that Attorney General Eric Holder is "the Moses of our time" was met with an initial wave of shock and disbelief, which Twitchy handily chronicled, along with video proof that we weren't hearing things. The Twitterverse was quick to correct comedian Chris Rock's delusion that the president is like "our boss" and "the dad of the country," and it wasn't about to let Dyson off easy on his claim that Holder — or any attorney general, ever, for that matter — is the nation's "chief lawgiver."

Be ye fishers of men
by Kiona Forsyth / ga02172007
"Be ye doers of the word, and not hears only" James 1:22
Our spiritual thought was based on the quote by Elder Bednar from a recent CES address. "We are all familiar with the adage that giving a man a fish feeds him for one meal. Teaching the man to fish, on the other hand, feeds him for a lifetime.
As gospel instructors, you and I are not in the business of distributing fish; rather, our work is to help individuals learn to "fish" and to become spiritually self-reliant. Experience has enabled me to understand that an answer given by another person usually is not remembered for very long, if remembered at all. But an answer we discover or obtain through the exercise of faith, typically, is retained for a lifetime. The most important
learnings of life are caught-not taught.
This is what we felt the Spirit had prompted us to teach about tonight helping you teach the children how to catch.
Each member of the presidency then presented one of the following:
Are my "fish" together? - We talked about unity in our classrooms and how fish follow in schools and how we can keep our children together.
Do I have the right tools to "fish"? - Having the right tools and what they are used for [Fishing pole, hook, baits and lures]. One of the focuses was music in the classroom.
How do I fish? - Now you have the "Tools" to fish - How do I fish or teach the children how to catch? We talked about different "Casting" methods. Choosing appropriate teaching methods. We asked the teachers of different was they are helping the children to "catch" in their classroom.
We used examples from the "Teaching, No Greater Call" and had our Chorister there to help with the music in the classroom.
- Our invitations were GAK picture #209 "Calling the Fishermen" with an overlay of Velum listing the pertinent info for the evening (date, time, etc.)
- For "treats" we had artichoke dip with large goldfish to dip, Swedish fish and chocolate dipped strawberries.
- One of the counselors did a great handout with a stamp of a fish on one side and the quote from Elder Bednar on the other folded in half with a small package of Swedish fish in the middle.
