Behind-the-scenes heroes
Imagine what it would be like to be the one to clean up after the day's activities, to have the dubious honor of emptying waste cans, sweeping the hallways, restoring the bathrooms and cleaning up after uncalled-for messes, a task considered below the dignity of many. Imagine rising 4:30 a.m., unlocking doors and making sure that things are pleasant and presentable, often without praise or appreciation for the non-rewarding behind-the-scenes efforts, often to have hard work shunned and disturbed within minutes.
One of the most enjoyable smells I appreciate these days is walking into the lobby of the local post office and being greeted by the aroma of cleaning fluid and floor wax, symbolic of the dedicated efforts of someone who worked hard to make my 15-second walk to the mail box more pleasant.
I know the lady who makes that effort; I've often met her in the lobby and chatted with her. I've seen her face break into a shining radiance when I have complimented her tireless efforts to carry out her responsibilities as janitor of the government agency.
I will never forget the appreciation my school teacher friend often expressed concerning the hard work of the school janitors where he taught junior high history for 30 years. As a token of his appreciation, he stayed after school and voluntarily cleaned his own room, spraying Pledge on the desks which he lined up row by row with certain cracks on the old blackboard.
During a visit to his school one time, he introduced me to one of his heroes who remarked, "There's no greater reward that Mr. Sprunger's expressed appreciation for our work."
I will never forget the day when someone asked me the question, "What would you do if you ran out of things to write stories about?" (A really unlikely scenario!) My reply was quick and affirming, "Do you see that fellow over there sweeping off the sidewalk? What a great a story he would make from inside his world, the things that he sees, the people that he greets, the little things that are meaningful to his heart, and how worthy would he be of such coverage?"
Behind-the-scenes heroes, the real special people of our lives, there is no end to those who fit such an honored list – janitors, street cleaners, garbage collectors, stage hands, Sunday School teachers, cooks, classroom assistants, waiters and waitresses, waiver case managers, caretakers, unheralded laborers, countless volunteers and unseen friends who speak just the right word, say just the right prayer at the right time.
Everyone lives in a world, their world, and while society today is full of plenty of "me-ism," there are still the selfless heroes who hover in the background, work hard and find deep satisfaction in making lives better for others without praise or accolade.
Our Lord set the picture quite clearly when he referred to those who boast of themselves from the street corners and those who who pray quietly and carry their tasks out behind the scenes in closets and in the background.
Emphatically, He referred to the "closet people" and said, "And THESE are the ones that gain the approval of the Heavenly Father," not these, as He refers to the reward-seeking boastful.
"Walk a mile in my moccasins" is the old Native American phrase referring to living in the world of another and feeling what their circumstances are. "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" was a song that expressed that same experience when I was younger.
And just perhaps, "rest awhile in their hearts," and then knock on the closet door and say, "thank you," with appreciate to all of those responsible for the pleasant moments in our world, and just maybe, without expectation, doing something to contribute to the pleasantness of the world of someone around us.

The Stuff Radio
The Stuff consists of four rockin' Stockholm rats of unusual size who met in one of Europe's finest sewers and consummated a working relationship over a couple of Stooges and Kinks records -- served up with a side of stinky cheese. With tails tucked neatly into their skintight blue jeans, the Stuff scampered around most of the E.U. in search of music halls and an appropriate hole in which to record their first EP (2003's Say Hello to Mary). Following the rank stench of a scent trail, the Stuff's collective noses led them to the appropriately monikered Ill Wind Records, which offered them some ripe stilton, along with a record deal. A three-song single, Pl-Pl-Please, came in late 2004 and heralded the Stuff's first full-length, Pick It Up, Pig Boy, out in 2005. Known only as "rat in the leather jacket," "rat in the orange T-shirt," "rat in the cap," and "rat in the red jacket," the ratmen of the Stuff remain anonymous behind their rodent-inspired masks. If it turns out they're actually human, we'll let you know. ~ J. Scott McClintockPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Myriad Of Factors Led To The Collapse Of Brass Production In Waterbury
During the 1960s and '70s, newspapers frequently leaned towards blaming striking workers for the closings of factories, although this has since been shown to be a false bias. Pictured above is Sid Monti getting arrested during a 1952 strike at Scovill. Photograph from Brass Valley, The Brass Workers History Project.
Story By Raechel Guest
On August 24, 1980, The New York Times summed up the post-World War II story of the brass industry as follows: "At its peak after World War II, the Connecticut brass manufacturing industry employed 25,000 workers to cast molten metal, press it into rods, wires and strips, and fabricate finished parts.. By 1960, the industry employed 10,000 fewer people.. and payrolls in June, before the recent closings and relocation decisions, included only 5,600 workers."

Researchers at the University of Iowa say the human brain has a new, second gatekeeper that registers fear.

text: Yeah, I'm old enough to remember Bob Hayes. I vividly remember my older brother looking at me when the Cowboys were on TV and saying "fastest man alive". Which is pretty damned fast. He ran a 5.28 60 on a cinder track (no official 40 yard timing for him). Quite a contrast back then when it was mostly fat white guys or skinny white guys with big funny hip pads out on the field. Bob Hayes was so fast, they had to invent the zone defense to cover him because no one could cover him man to man (see wikipedia link below). He won two gold medals in the 1964 olympics for the 100 meter and 100 meter relay. But could he catch a football? I just now saw a couple of clips on NFL Network where he showed that he could. Bob Hayes set a lot of Cowboys team records, some of which still stand today. We always had cable TV and the Cowboys were on nearly every week, so I got to see Bob Hayes play a lot. He was the first burner I can remember and now he finally made the Hall of Fame today, long overdue.

Reviews for One LyricsPerformed by Metallica

Add Your New Review About The Song
Best Song and Video EVER | Reviewer: Lilith | 3/18/08
One is the best song I have ever listened to and the video is great the whole concept for the video was brilliant using "Johnny has a gun" which is not the best film ever but the clips from the film work well with the song!!!!
This is Metallica's second best song. | Reviewer: master of puppets | 3/6/08
The song is about a solider who got hit by a land mine and is kept alive by life support and he wishes to be dead but can't because he has no arms or legs to kill himself with. In the original movie the solider gets hit by a mortal shell instead of a land mine. The only better song is Ain't My Bitch.
Theme | Reviewer: Nashtak | 3/5/08
True. It seems to be about the movie ''Johnny Got His Gun'' or something like that. If you listen to the video clip, it makes more sense because you can hear the character talking between the lyrics. It's pretty good.
I haven't seen the movie but my dad says he did (he recognized the part of the movie in the clips). If i remember well, he said they attached the guy's mouth, put a mask on his face (maybe so he can't talk and see) and probably because of the mine, he can't hear and lost his arms and legs. So basically, they keep him alife for some reason but the guy is nothing more but a piece of meat who keeps on living without any of his senses.
WOW | Reviewer: James | 2/29/08
You dumbass...It is not about a damned video game....If you opened your eyes and watched the damned video it is about a guy that gets his arms and legs blown off by a landmine and is in a coma....And when it talks about tied to machines it means his life support machines so just get a damn clue before you pop off at the mouth!!
METALICCA IS EFFING ROCKS MAN | Reviewer: METALLICAFAN | 2/28/08

METALLICa is survives
one | Reviewer: J.J. | 2/23/08
this song was being talked about before the ...and justice for all album. since cliff was a classical music lover and he knew a lot of other stuff(i think it was him) he told the other metallica members about a book called johnny got his gun. james and lars were talking about if a person could live without eyes, ears, speech, and hearing. three years later the ...and justice for all album comes out with the song one and during that years comes metallica's first video for one featuring video clips from the movie called johnny got his gun(based on the book and directed by the books author).
Fuck Sakes People... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/22/08
Stop being such assholes and posting such annoyingly gay comments on this lyrics page, be nice if an admin would just erase pretty much all of these messages tbh.
This song is great, based on a book I believe, clips of the video are on an old movie which may of perhaps been based on the book as well.
The Lyrics are great, it's sang great, and played great, so everyone stop with all these gayass posts of what its about, because...
A) No one gives a flying f*ck what you think.
B) It helps in no way at all.
C) I doubt people will care about this post as well.
So stop will all this annoyance about the post, nothing good to say? so STFU pl0x.
statement | Reviewer: dragonforce | 2/18/08
I just cant believe some of you people.
thinking your so great because i know wath the song is about.
who actually gives a flying fuck. seriously man
Ok so wath if the song litteraly is about a soldier who got all of his shit blown of. Or comes from a book
Whe al have are free will and we can think wat we want, wath the song is about. I personally think that it is origins are from a book or movie.
But when i feel depressed. the song also fits perfectly. ever heard of freedom of speech are willpower. wankers
One nevermind anyother number | Reviewer: Kuzuma | 2/19/08
FIrst of All the gunshot/explosion are taken from a movies so is some of the parts of the video. This song is one of my top list of best songs. I liek that it has a story not like many songs. Also this is not a emo song caus I am always happy when im hearing it (that includes singing it.)
Uh... | Reviewer: Brad | 2/12/08
Wasn't there an interview done with Hetfield years back where he explained it? Pure speculation, it seems entirely anti-war. Obviously, you hear the gunshots, explosions, etc. And the lyrics explain a fate that would befall someone maimed by a land mine, left in a comatose state. Can't really be considered alive, but not yet dead. Just sorta in between.
There's no way this song is about emo culture, as it hadn't even fully taken off then, but I could see how someone feeling depressed could use this as an (overly dramatic)summary of how they feel.
And though I've been much a victim of the Guitar Hero fad, I stand by my belief that it singlehandedly ruins music. People hear the songs and instead of associating them with meaning or the artists themselves, a board with little dots on it. Novel idea, horrible catastrophe. Bandwagoners rejoice! Now you can say you've always loved a band after only hearing one song on GH. Feel proud.
Matrix lolz | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/12/08
When I first listened to this song I thought it was about the matrix talking about machines and what not.
Why does everybody have to bo so angrey as well, "ARGH YOUR WRONG!!11" like seriously, is it that important how somebody interprets a song?
shut up this song is great | Reviewer: Sean | 2/9/08
everyone needs to settle down,this song is sweet,who cares what its about..it gets me pumped up and i dont care if it is about emo retards blowing themselves up or about johhny and his gun. Everyone keep raggin on guitar hero because its a video game, its made to have fun so frig off even if it doesnt compare anything to a real guitar. but yeah if u think your king shit because you play guitar hero, think again nerds..congratulations that you can push a button when it comes up on the screen and it makes a noise for you..try using a real guitar and making the actual noise yourself rather than electronic noises doing it for you.
Question | Reviewer: Steve | 2/11/08
Without any knowledge about Johnny Got His Gun I still felt there was no other way to interpret the song, but that is just me. My first impression (because it strikes close to home) was that he was in a coma. Can anyone tell me if this applies to the movie? It isn't really relevant because the 2 are basically the same, I'm just curious.
Down the same road | Reviewer: TheDamnMaker | 2/3/08
To think of it, of how some of you say the writers of the song (Hetfield and Ulrich) had a specific thought for making the song and the listener/viewer catches something different, it's understandable. After all the song, on the first layer, is about Dalton Trumbo's 'Johnny Got His Gun' book and movie, message and all. Then again, the song came on the '...And Justice For All' album, their first made after the death of their Bassist Cliff Burton, so for a second layer the song might be in honor to their fallen comrade. But since I never saw a 'In Memory of..' at the end of the music video, I might as well be wrong about it.
Alright | Reviewer: K-Fran | 2/8/08
fair enough, but i don't know about anti-war. the song says, "oh please god wake me," "oh please god help me," "look to the time when I'LL live," not, "when i did live." he's lonely, no one can help him, "now the world is gone i'm just one." he doesn't even know if anyone is there, where he really is, he knows how he feels, he's helpless. "now that the war is through with me" is how he's getting over the fact that he's fubar, but he's only saying it. this song is about depression, when we are depressed we say things like "i'm okay," no? the war is inside of him, landmines are unexpected problems. he can't see anything, anything that's coming to help him, anyone. he has no one to talk to, no communication because he's trapped in himself with no way out.

Stryker Rejuvenate Orthopaedics Product Recall
Phillips Law Firm can help with your Stryker Hip Recall Claim
Hip implant products "Rejuvenate" and "ABG II" by medical manufacturer Stryker Orthopaedics (also known as Howmedica Osteonics) have now been recalled. An astounding number of patients have undergone hip joint surgery only to discover that they need to have the defective product removed and replaced with additional arthroplasty. If you are a victim of one of these defective products, contact Phillips Law Firm immediately. Our experienced attorneys help protect your rights and seek justice on your behalf. Don't let the statute of limitations interfere with your right to compensation for your suffering, it is important to contact us now!
Which Stryker products are being recalled?
The "Rejuvenate" and "ABG II" are modular-neck stems used during hip arthroplasty that were voluntarily recalled in August 2012 by the manufacturer Stryker Orthopaedics. While the manufacturer is New Jersey based, more and more victims are coming forward nationally.
What are the side effects of the "Rejuvenate" and "ABG II" hip implants?
Scientific evidence concludes that the metal stem in models "Rejuvenate" and "ABG II" are susceptible to corroding and fretting which can lead to metal ion deposits in the surrounding soft tissue. The products are not metal-on-metal devices like the recalled Johnson & Johnson's DePuy ASR product however they still pose a risk for metal ion build up. The increased levels of chromium ions and cobalt in the bloodstream can be a toxic combination leading to adverse reactions. The adverse reactions include bone dissolution, pseudo tumors, necrosis (death) of skin tissue, bone and muscle and inflammation of the synovial membrane which are all issues that can cause additional bodily harm, pain, swelling and further health complications. Get compensation for your suffering!

Its being billed as some of the coldest temperatures central Virginia has seen in almost 20 years. Delores Jones is getting her home ready.
"I'm also making sure our emergency equipment, like flashlights, batteries in the flashlights, bringing my dogs in and making sure they pretty much stay outside, so I'm making sure they are ready."
While many are preparing their homes, Doctor Elizabeth Bigelow with Patient First says she sees a lot of patients during serious cold snaps.
"Medical conditions we see can be frostbite, just some tissue damage and skin damage from the cold weather, and a lot of falls occur because of some of the icy spots outside, and also people get dehydrated due to your body having to work a little bit harder to be warm," Dr. Bigelow said.
How do you avoid getting sick? Doctor Bigelow says keep the most sensitive body parts covered.
"Cheeks, nose, ears, things like that, so if you could wear a scarf hat. Also, fingers and toes -have warm socks on, gloves, that could help prevent some of those things."
The second piece of advice, drink lots of water. When it's colder, your immune system is not as strong, because the body is working overtime to heat itself. Back at Delores house, she's zipped up her entire property air tight to avoid getting sick. She has no plans to be outdoors.

For the second year in a row, a number of women got a chance to learn more about the art that is rodeo, while helping out a great cause."It's a way for Breast Cancer patients and their families to have help that they may need during treatment," said Bonnie Wells. She is also a cancer survivor."It was tough. I mean, there's all the expenses and things to worry about," said Bonnie. She said she has been in remission for less than a year. She is one of many women attending the Chicks N Chaps Women-Only Rodeo Clinic. The event, according to materials from the organizer's website, cost $65 to attend, and started with a reception under the Grandstand.Proceeds from the clinic, according to organizers, will go towards those battling Breast Cancer."We raised over six thousand dollars last year, so hopefully, we raise more this year," said Lorissa Harris with the clinic. "We teach ladies who know nothing really about rodeo. We just give them a brief overview of rodeo, they get to meet the cowboys, and sit in the Chick Pit at the Rodeo."The event is, for obvious reasons, open only to women, and there was only 150 slots. For Bonnie, the clinic means much more than just learning about a very Montanan summer pastime."It's just about getting together and having fun, and celebrating life basically," said Bonnie.For Bonnie, it's also about paying it forward."My whole goal, after treatment, was to be able to get back, and help other Breast Cancer patients," said Bonnie.To learn more about Chicks N Chaps, click on Connections.

To Finding Aid
George Clarke, 1661-1736
George Clarke fonds. - 1690-1691. - 50 items.
George Clarke was the son of Sir William Clarke, Englands first
Secretary at War (1661-1666), and his wife Dorothy. George himself became
the fourth Secretary at War sometime before March 1690. The Battle of
the Boyne took place in July of that year. He held an estate at Kilkenny
in Ireland.
Fonds consists of 50 items, most of which are letters to Clarke concerning
military matters falling under his control as Secretary at War. Several
of the letters were sent to Clarke from Mullingar, where the English
army established a military depot in 1690, and were received in various
places as he moved through the countryside: at Dublin (Mar. 1690); Limerick
(Aug. 1690); Cashells (Sept. 1690); Dublin (Nov. 1690); Clonmel (Dec.
1690); Kilkenny (Dec. 1960). Other letters concern Clarkes personal
affairs, with letters from his mother (who nonetheless also informed
her son of military matters, as her husband had also been Secretary
at War) and from the women who managed his manor at Kilkenny during
his absence.
Title based on content of the fonds.
Fonds (34-2008) was acquired from Alexander Books in July 2008.
Finding aid available in hard copy and electronically.
There are no access restrictions.
Further accruals are not expected.

Real nice to see Johnny Ball Game back out there.
For those who like numbers, here are Walls year two numbers against players he will most likely compare to.
The Glove, Rondo and Kidd
I like the way this team is designed right now. You can see what they could have been if they were healthy from game one. And keep in mind, they still are not healthy. Wall is coming off the bench for only 20 mins. Nene is still not healthy but after a summer of rest he should be. Crawford was in his first game back after fighting a bone bruise that he played on for 3-4 weeks. Trevor A is just a week removed from sitting out with a muscle pull in his leg. Price just a few games removed from returning from a fractured finger and Booker is fresh off of sitting out for like a long stretch with a knee injury.
And they look this good already and they don't really know how to play together yet with all these new faces.
Better days are ahead for Wizard fans.

Department for Education defends decision to delay school
The Department for Education is defending its decision to put the opening of the One in a Million School in Bradford on hold. Officials pulled the plug on its investment because not all the places at the school had been filled.
– Department for Education spokesperson
Setting up a Free School is a difficult task and we thank One in a Million for all their hard work. Before any new schools open their doors, we have to be sure that all the conditions we set have been met. Making certain that new schools raise standards is one of the reasons why our Free Schools have been so popular with families across England. We still hope that One in a Million will open in 2013. We understand that the parents and children hoping to attend One in a Million will be disappointed.

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman now says he'll boycott next week's GOP debate in Las Vegas and hold a town hall meeting in New Hampshire instead.
Friday's announcement came one day after Huntsman threatened not to campaign in Nevada if the state didn't change the date of its Jan. 14 presidential caucus.
He also accused rival Mitt Romney of trying to "game the system" by encouraging Nevada to move up its caucus date after Florida moved its primary to Jan. 31.
The schedule shakeup that followed has threatened New Hampshire first-in-the-nation primary status, according to Huntsman.
"We call on all other campaigns to join us, avoiding typical hypocritical politics by paying lip service to New Hampshire, while campaigning in Nevada," Huntsman's campaign said in a statement.
Link: GOP candidates boycotting Nevada caucus
It's unknown if Huntsman will also skip his turn to speak at the Western Republican Leadership Conference, which will be held Oct. 18-21 at The Venetian.
Fellow GOP candidate Newt Gingrich is also scheduled to speak at the event. Gingrich also said Thursday that he'll boycott Nevada to protect New Hampshire's interests.
Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann and former Sen. Rick Santorum also jumped on the boycott bandwagon.
The four candidates are all polling behind frontrunner Romney, who easily won the 2008 Nevada caucus with more than 50 percent of the vote.
FOX5 wants to know what you think of the scheduling controversy and whether the candidates' actions will influence your vote.
Send your comments to Facebook and The RANT. You can hear the responses weeknights on FOX5 News at 10.

Mt. McKinley: Beren & Team Move Into 14K Camp
Posted by: Jake Beren, Elias de Andres Martos | June 14, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 14,200'
Waking to perfect conditions, clear and near windless, we decided to saddle up and move on up to Genet Basin and make a new home at 14,000 feet. Our hard work yesterday really paid off, leaving us with a perfect trail to camp. It was even downright hot as we pulled into camp and we found a great camp left to us by our friends now living at 17,000 camp. Thanks.
It was still tough, but our team held together well and turned in early for some much needed rest. Tomorrow we will most likely retrieve our cache and spend the afternoon relaxing and preparing for the fixed lines higher up. Cross your fingers for some high pressure. A week would be plenty.

We only have one life to live. Be open. Do things you want and desire. Mind things later and have fun today, tomorrow, and every chance you get. So you don't feel regret when you're on your deathbed.
Demi Moore, Christina Aguilera- there was major buzz when they posed naked while pregnant in magazines.But what they did was just one in a hundred pool of moms who are proud of their baby bumps. The only difference is that celebs go to magazines while private citizens go online.
Nude photography of pregnant if done right, is tasteful and non-malicious and celebrates the life inside another life. I am not pregnant nor will be anytime soon but I think that this type of photography magnifies the beauty of the human body that is houses a precious life that hopefully with do great things for the world. Here are photos of pregnant women in nude and black and white.
Whenever I see such photos, it inspires me to write paper writing services or a whole article on it. This topic would surely interest a lot of people.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great customer service and magnet!
Vintage Bloom Save the Date Magnets I created custom colors for the Vintage Bloom save the date magnet design and it looked really great - the magnets came out looking vibrant and crisp. I also requested a number of changes to the design, which the customer service agents made quickly and exactly as I had requested. They were great! The magnets were very high quality and looked beautiful when they arrived in a keepsake box. The magnet holders were also very pretty and corresponded well with the magnets. I will definitely be ordering my invites and other stationary through Magnet Street as well. Thanks for a beautiful (and affordable) product!
Exactly What I Wanted
Woodland Charms Save the Date Magnets I loved all the options I had when designing my entire stationary suite for my wedding. I just ordered and received my save the date magnets and couldn't ask for more! The colors, style, and quality are perfect for my wedding, and the experience ordering with magnetstreet was great. I really liked how I was able to track my save the dates through the entire process and knew when they were being reviewed, produced, and shipped. Great product and great experience.
Love our save the dates!
Fall Treasures Save the Date Magnets We loved the variety of designs and appreciated the ability to customize even beyond the text/colors. We needed a few personalized changes and we got our proofs back very quickly - a couple rounds too at no extra charge was extremely appreciated!
we loved our save the date magnets
Fall Treasures Save the Date Magnets Great service and quality. We are so excited to share these with our family and friends!
So glad I choose to go with MagnetStreet!
Fall Treasures Save the Date Magnets I am thrilled with the save the dates I ordered from Magnet Street! I used one of their designs and completely personalized the colors and some of the writing. I was very anxious to see the final product but it gave me peace of mind to know that they had printed one of my magnets and checked it to make sure everything looked good before printing my whole order. I was so surprised when they came in the mail and there was an adorable box inside holding all of my products. The production and shipping time was perfect and I was so pleased to be able to track my order progress online. Not to mention the pricing was great and they offer amazing coupons, sign up for their emails! I will be recommending these to everyone I know. I am also thankful that they included some sample invitations with my order, I honestly wasn't planning on ordering my invitations from Magnet Street but now I definitely plan to be using them for the rest of my paper goods.

News: Beyonce Kills Her Alter Ego, "I Don't Need Sasha Fierce Anymore"
Thursday, Jan 21, 2010 11:05AM
Grammy-winning singer Beyonce has announced that she no longer needs to rely on her artistic alter ego, "Sasha Fierce."
In addition to speaking on her past split personality, Beyonce addressed one day having a child with husband and rapper Jay-Z.
"The thing that's interesting is I don't need Sasha Fierce anymore, because I've grown," she said in an interview, "and I'm now able to merge the two. I want people to see me. I want people to see who I am...I always say, 'I don't want to lose my curves,' I like firm curves. You can never do enough squats, you can never do enough sit-ups. But as far as losing too much weight or building too much muscle -- I like for women to look feminine...I definitely want to have a child, but I know from my nephew it's a lot. I hope that those things will just happen naturally. I still haven't had time to relax." (Allure Magazine)
The singer recently said she wanted to take some time off from the recording studio.
"It's definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries,"Beyonce, 28, said in an interview. "I'd like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again...I've always worked hard, but I feel like I worked harder this past year than I have since I was just starting out. I just had all these great opportunities." (USA Today)
Her latest effort, I Am...Sasha Fierce, is slowly inching toward the 3 million sold copies mark.
Grammy-winning singer Beyonce's I Am...Sasha Fierce dropped six slots to No. 38 with 10,900. With 61 weeks under her belt, Mrs. Carter's latest effort has sold 2,682,600 records to date. (SOHH Sales Wrap)
Reports last week showed Beyonce and Jay-Z being the highest-earning celebrity couple from 2008 to 2009.
Music duo Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles earned $122 million between June 2008 and June 2009, landing them atop the publication's annual Top-Earning Couples list in Hollywood for the second year in a row. The couple married quietly in 2008 and are responsible for everything from music ("Single Ladies" and "Empire State of Mind") to clothing lines, worldwide tours, and product endorsements (like American Express and Budweiser). (Entertainment Weekly)

text: They dont do much to make the songs pop. As such, the tracks end up staying a little flatter than they ought to be from a band like this, and curb their own potential with the tendency to stay one-dimensional. It would do the band well to step out a little a notion they flirt with on the EPs closer, but never really realize fully.

In no particular order, we start with some local Carolina products that would be nice fits in a Panther uniform:
UNC's Cooper a top guard in NFL draft | CharlotteObserver.com
"I was just a fat little kid always getting picked on. I was like, I'm gonna play football," Cooper said Thursday at the scouting combine. "So I was a water boy for my brother's Pop Warner team for a couple of years. I was finally able to play my seventh-grade year in middle school, and I was kind of big and soft but I finally learned the game, got some toughness about me, and I was able to excel."
"During the season I'd gotten down to 285 pounds running spread, no-huddle offense. We just about tripled the number of plays we ran in practice," he said. "It really kind of sped up my metabolism, but now I'm up to 312 and I feel the difference. I feel the power. I've got just a little more butt behind me and I'm ready to be more of a physical player."
Cooper might he an option at #14 though he doesn't play the kind of position Dave Gettleman covets that early in the draft. RG is easily our most pressing need but I think we could find a good OG later in this draft.
Another mid-round possibility is this CB who looked like a 1st round selection season ago but after a disappointing senior year has seen his stock slide:
N.C. State's David Amerson out to prove to NFL teams he's better than '12 | CharlotteObserver.com
"Definitely the amount of touchdowns I gave up this season was disappointing," said Amerson, adding he had the record in mind. "I was just playing to get interceptions," he said. As a result, Amerson sat on routes, guessed in coverage and watched a lot of end zone celebrations after receivers got behind him. His lowest point was a 44-37 loss to Miami when he was beaten for four touchdowns and failed to make a play on a fifth, when Phillip Dorsett ran into his zone and caught the game-winning, 62-yard touchdown with 15 seconds left. "I had a chance to make a play on the ball, and I definitely should have made that play," Amerson said. "I guess you could say you can put it on me."
What I find impressive is Amerson's self -evaluation and admission he made mistakes and got too caught up in the NCAA record thing. That's huge in the maturity department in my book so Amerson might be a steal in the 4th round.
Another 1st round possibility apparently had a good combine:
2013 NFL combine -- Tavon Austin, other WRs on fast track - ESPN
The consensus is that Cordarrelle Patterson of Tennessee and Keenan Allen of California are the sure first-round choices. Patterson didn't hurt his cause by running a 4.42 40. Allen was injured and didn't work out. Nevertheless, most believe they will both go in the first round because they are big receivers who can play the outside. Austin could be the next DeSean Jackson, only faster. He's 5-foot-8, 174 pounds and is explosive and exciting. Eleven more receivers could go in rounds 2-4. What was evident Sunday is that most of the receivers have good size and great speed. Teams heading into this draft now don't have to worry and panic about getting a quality athlete at receiver too early. Sunday's track meet showed this draft has depth at the position even though many of the receivers looked raw in running precise routes.
Here's a double dip on Patterson:
EJ Manuel, Tavon Austin rise; Geno Smith maintains status quo - NFL.com
Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee: Patterson did nothing to disappoint during his time on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf. He ran a 4.42 40, despite having a slight stumble at the 10-yard mark. (He found another gear over the final 20 yards of the test.) During the field workout, Patterson didn't "wow," but he showed impressive burst, the ability to quickly get in/out of his break and reliable hands. This draft doesn't contain a surefire stud at wide receiver in the mold of A.J. Green or Julio Jones, but Patterson has the potential to develop into a Pro Bowl-caliber pass catcher.
Some of the combine participants have off-the-field issues to iron out in Indy with this slot corner being one of them:
NFL Scouting Combine: What we learned Day 4 - NFL.com
Don't call him "Honey Badger" anymore. Tyrann Mathieu is looking to shed his past. In a fascinating session with reporters, Mathieu talked about rehab, being humiliated and enjoying too many things other than football. "My best friend right now is honesty," Mathieu said.
Oh come on, we can't drop such a great nickname like 'Honey Badger'? I mean, I didn't realize the name was somehow tied to his off-the-field issues. Did he only become the 'Honey Badger' after getting hammered drunk or stoned? Again, just like Amerson though Mathieu seems to be saying the right things.
If one of the top tackles is on the board it will present another tough choice for the Panthers. This guy might just slide to us and given the speed and athleticism he could be a proto-typical LT:
2013 NFL Combine Saturday winners and losers - SBNation.com
Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma Johnson may not overtake Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher as the first tackle taken, but he's now strongly considered a top 10 lock. The former tight end looked like one during offensive line drills. Johnson sped 40 yards in 4.72 seconds, the second fastest time ever for an offensive lineman. That wasn't Johnson's most impressive athletic feat, either. In the ever-important three-cone drill, Johnson tied with center Brian Schwenke for the fastest time with a 7.31.
Though the QB class might be weak at the top I bet there is a run on them in the 2nd round. Yet the question is who will pass on Geno Smith?
Mike Mayock's four weekend combine observations - NFL.com
"I want to bang the table because I want to like Geno Smith," Mayock said. "But there's just too many inconsistencies on tape for me to say that Kansas City or anyone that high should take him."
Someone will grab him the top 10 though but in a dream Panther scenario we trade back at #14 for a team to grab Smith or even one of the other QBs.
Wrapping it up is a piece on the NFL's possible desire to push back the start of the league year:
2013 NFL combine -- Friday observations about offseason, Weeden and more - ESPN
While it makes sense for NFL general managers and coaches to have enough time to rest and recoup their energy after a season, the NFL is dealing with a union. Say what you want about the NFLPA, but there is no way it is going to allow the start of free agency to go later. Union members weren't particularly happy having the start of free agency pushed back to March 12, but that was an agreement in the 2011 CBA. No union is going to willingly shorten the period of time potential employees have to find a job. Holding potential free agents back a month from getting jobs, cashing roster bonus checks and finding out if trades are official would have to come with a price. Unless the NFL is willing to trade off something significant for a delayed start to free agency, nothing will happen and the NFL wouldn't be willing to give up much. Why would it? NFL owners were able to increase the league's revenue share along with getting a hard rookie pool in the 2011 agreement.
I would much prefer the schedule to stay as is. I like having the combine this early as it shortens the dead time and gets us full into the Pro Day circuit. As the piece points out though I see no reason the NFLPA would go along with it....without something big in return of course.

What's this religion in youth culture? How do we measure changing patterns of religiosity among American youth? How is religion measured among social scientists and humanists alike? While scholarship suggests that subjective religiosity is strong among American youth despite declining rates of institutional religious participation, the reality is that the category of 'religion' and 'construction' of meaning have been seldom theoretically and methodologically interrogated. Social scientific and humanities literature on youth and religion finds itself at a precarious crossroads where emergent cultural forms and practices proliferate while traditional institutions of religion continue to decline in membership. On one hand – this has caused alarm for scholars arguing that institutional religion proffers pro-social behavior and is a tool of buffering transgression. These conservative and politically motivated models treat religion as a moral sanitizer and something solely institutional and autonomous (sui generis) from social, cultural, and political influences. This oversight denies the ways in which the housing of religious rhetoric in popular cultural activity is often deployed to legitimate, authenticate, and solidify competing social and cultural interests among various human ecologies.
Across the academic field of religious studies, the region of the Pacific Northwest has been dubbed the "None Zone"—a frame of reference used by scholars to depict low (reported) rates of institutional religious affiliation in and around this region. Again, for the purposes of these empirical studies, religion is something generally done within and practiced under the auspices of faith based institutions. The aim of "Youth Culture and the Remaking of Religion in Portland, Oregon" is to ethnographically consider the role, weight and significance of material cultural practices while also gauging ideas, perceptions, and understandings of religion, broadly conceived. We are interested in the changing landscape of religion among young people by exploring the cultural words and everyday practices that often shape their perspectives of the world in which they live.
Blending street corner culture ethnography with an expanded notion of the ethnographic we hope the findings of this work offer a more robust texture to the form and content of religion in youth culture scholarship. A confidential open and closed ended survey is being administered to roughly 500 young people in numerous locations across Portland, Oregon such as street corners, coffee shops, tattoo parlors, nightclubs and bookstores. The findings of this work will culminate in a
series of forthcoming scholarly publications and initial findings will be
presented at a Spring 2012 symposium to be held at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.

Sunday, October 30 we will be at the Wolf Road Holiday Inn in Albany, NY for Albany Comic Con once again. November 4-6 will be a busy weekend for a couple of our most distant events to attend. Just like last Keevs will be in at Nekocon promoting the artwork while Greg is in Chicago for MIR focusing on the collar market. We will end the year with another new con in the schedule. In its second year and located in Stamford, CT we will be attending Gobble-Con the weekend of November 18-20. This is the weekend before Thanksgiving.

The film received generally negative reviews from critics; critics polled on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a score of 17% "Rotten", with the site's consensus called the film, "A juvenile, ugly movie that represents the worst tendencies of directors channeling Tarantino." However, users gave the film a score of 93.[22] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club described the film, in his review of the DVD, as "less a proper action-thriller" than "a series of gratuitously violent setpieces strung together with only the sketchiest semblance of a plot". Rabin went on to describe the film as "all style and no substance, a film so gleeful in its endorsement of vigilante justice that it almost veers (or ascends) into self-parody."[23] Robert Koehler of Variety described the film in his review as "A belated entry in the hipster crime movie movement that began with Reservoir Dogs, Troy Duffy's "Boondock Saints" mixes blood and Catholic-tinged vigilante justice in excessive portions for sometimes wacky and always brutal effect. [The film is] more interested in finding fresh ways to stage execution scenes than in finding meaning behind the human urge for self-appointed righting of wrongs."
Koehler also described Flanery and Reedus as "curiously stolid and blank", while praising supporting actors Connolly, Dafoe, and Rota for making the most of their screen time. Koehler also praised the tech personnel, "This uneven exercise in pacing and cutting is abetted by an eclectic score by Jeff Danna and whiz lensing by Adam Kane. Other tech credits fire bull's-eyes."[24]
Film critics have taken note of the film's extreme violence and "slow-motion bloodletting".[25]
In its original 5-theater run, the film only earned $30,471.[4] It later developed a cult following and has grossed about $50 million in domestic video sales.[4]
Budget for the film was $6mm

June 5, 2007
Albany -- Jeremy Silas was asleep when he heard police arrive at 314 Station Crossing Lane. "I heard the police so I slipped my windows open and I heard them say hurry up and get outside of the house," says Jeremy.
Police were talking to 32-year-old Matthew Thomas, who according to police reports, pointed a gun at his girlfriend Sunday and threatened to kill her. When she attempted to go back to the home Monday, Thomas blocked the door, so she called 911.
According to police reports, it indicates that the woman who had been living in the home with Matthew Thomas had police escorts to help her retrieve some personal items from inside the duplex. When police arrived, they found Thomas barricaded inside the home with a revolver. From there, the situation intensified.
Dozens of officers responded to what would become nearly a three hour police standoff; Thomas refusing to cooperate with negotiators. At one point, even Thomas' father was allowed in the residence.
"The hostage negotiator made that decision along with the incident commander (to allow his father inside). I don't think it had a negative effect, but we do have a de-briefing in all of these situations," says Albany Police Chief James Younger.
Throughout the lengthy standoff, Albany Police handled the situation. But throughout the entire standoff, SWAT units never arrived. Chief Younger explained that the SWAT team was called to scene, but before they arrived he said, "the situation was resolved."
The situation had been resolved, but not until Mathew Thomas turned the gun on himself. When police entered the home, Thomas was dead from an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound. According to Chief Younger, there was little more that could have been done to prevent this from happening.
"Based on the information that we have, unless there had been divine intervention, he would have committed suicide," says Younger.
With the investigation still ongoing, Chief Younger added, " We review all of these types of situations. We look at what could have been done differently and what we did well."
Mathew Thomas did have a lengthy criminal past. He had previously served a 7-year sentence for a Dougherty County robbery.
