If these images look familiar, it's because you've seen the media remixing work of Nick Gentry before. The last time we featured the London-based artist, he'd painted impressive portraits on discarded floppy disks, perfectly matching each figure to the square/round shape of the digital format. Now he's created a series of portraits that continue his passion for repurposing defunct media, using old film negatives as a striking gossamer canvas. [Read more…]

Adorable Anamorphic Chalk Creatures Make The Streets of Ann Arbor More Playful
For the past 13 years, street artist and illustrator David Zinn has been making his neighborhood a little bit brighter with temporary art. His whimsical chalk art uses the sidewalk, brick buildings, and cement walls as canvases for his little creatures to come to life. Although there is only one angle that reveals the 3D nature of his characters, the people of Ann Arbor are often rewarded for looking down at the ground. His characters include fish, mice, monsters, a flying pig named Philomena, and a green alien named Sluggo, who boasts 3,409 fans on Facebook. [Read more…]
A Meditation on Balance: New Stone Work from Michael Grab
It takes a love of nature, a lot of patience, and very steady hands to create work like Michael Grab's balanced stones. The Boulder Colorado-based artist (covered previously) spends long meditative hours in the woods, finding stones large and small, and placing them at seemingly impossible rest atop their pointed end. Captured in exceptional photographs, his work contains that rare and poetic balance between stillness and motion. [Read more…]
What it's Like to Spend 10 Hours Walking in NYC as a Woman
To truly understand someone, they say you need to "walk a mile in their shoes." This shocking video certainly does that, bringing home the situation for women just about anywhere in Manhattan.

The level of street harassment she endures is truly eye opening, and sometimes just downright creepy. [Read more…]
Bringing the Spirit of the Burning Man Temple to Northern Ireland
Every year since 2000, the Burning Man gathering has featured a massive wood structure called the "Temple". Since its introduction, the ornately designed buildings have become one of the most special places for those who attend. In an environment that celebrates all kinds of radical free expression, the temple inspires reflection, contemplation and honoring. It is a sanctuary where those that come can heal, grieve loved ones or just sit in peace. After one week of its existence, it is gracefully burned, a symbolic "letting go" for some. Now, in its last day seeking funding through a Kickstarter campaign, the spirit of the Temple could be flying all the way to the Northern Irish town of Derry for March 2015. [Read more…]

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Half Moon has all-out birthday
Gala weekend marks 75 years
If a 50th anniversary is gold and a 60th is diamonds, does that mean a 75th is... cheeseburgers and fries?
It was this weekend at the Half Moon Drive-In, the iconic Lockport retro restaurant celebrating 75 years in business along the Red, one of the dwindling number of destination eateries in Manitoba.
"I thought what better to do after 75 years than giving something back," said owner Wayne McIntosh. "I went all in. But for all the right reasons."
The celebration includes free concerts, vintage car shows, Winnipeg Blue Bomber alumni, clowns, magicians -- even Furious Pete, a Guinness World Record-holding competitive eater who will be attempting to gorge himself on the Half Moon's menu of french fries, double cheeseburgers and foot-long hotdogs.
In anticipation of crowds of between 6,000-8,000 on Saturday and today, McIntosh -- who has owned the Half Moon for the last 27 years -- stocked up with 700 pounds of wieners (eight per pound) and 125 cases of hamburgers (50/lb).
In addition, McIntosh brought in 25 "alumni staff" (to bolster the crew of 55) to help man the two food trucks, mini-donut and ice cream trucks parked behind the restaurant, where the stage and kids festivities were set up.
McIntosh is hoping to use the anniversary as a springboard for attracting even more customers who for decades have taken the "Lockport Loop" up Henderson Highway, across the Red, then back down River Road to Winnipeg.
More free concerts. Some sock hops.
"Kind of bringing back that era of entertainment they used to have back in the day," McIntosh said. "I want to continue to provide free events. I don't want to charge."
The Half Moon was first opened in 1938 by brothers Peter and Louis Kosowicz, about a kilometre south of the existing eatery. McIntosh first joined the restaurant as a manager in the mid-1980s and eventually took full ownership about 11 years ago. Four years ago, he expanded the seating capacity from 90 to 170 patrons, many of whom remember driving out in their childhood days with their families for orange or grape sodas in glass bottles.
"It's real kooky," he said, of the 40 per cent of the business clientele who are hard-core regulars. "They're passionate about it."
And those regulars weren't about to miss the anniversary.
"When I was 20, I came here for the first time that I could drive," said Les Mike, now 60. "I've been coming ever since. I brought all my girlfriends here."
Mike was a hotdog guy. His companion on Saturday, Denise Pilon, has been partial to the fries (still hand-cut Yukon gold potatoes) and burgers.
Both Mike and Pilon were lamenting the loss in recent years of such Winnipeg food landmarks as Kelekis, Alicias and the Wagon Wheel.
"A lot of people still look for good-quality, down-home food," Pilon said. "We're losing everything. We're becoming too urbanized."
Debbie Siedleski, 49, also remembers her childhood days driving out from Winnipeg every Sunday with her "baba" for sodas. "If we were good, we got french fries," Siedelski said. "I'm not kidding. Baba was tough."

Six tenants and a new name for Gramor's Sherwood shopping center
Send this to a friend

- Staff Reporter- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
A Walmart-anchored shopping center in construction in Sherwood has signed new tenants and adopted a new name.
Tualatin-based Gramor Development said it has signed lease deals with Starbucks, Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches, The UPS Store, Vivid Nails and Pacific Dental for the $50 million project. Formerly known as Sherwood Town Center, the project is now called Parkway Village at Sherwood and is slated to open next fall.
Walmart will occupy 150,000 square feet. Together, the six retailers will employ about 300. Parkway Village will add 600 jobs to Sherwood when it is fully leased.
Gramor is developing the project with the Langer Family at the intersection of Highway 99 and Tualatin-Sherwood Road, at Langer Farms Parkway.
It is backed by a $15.4 million loan from U.S. Bank.
Wendy Culverwell covers sustainable business, manufacturing and law.

So I used to own this guy about 4 years ago I'd say. All the Google searches just show my own sales ads or the sale ads of the owner I sold to. I just want to know he ended up in a good place, and that if he ever needs a home, I'm here for him.
He was purchased by me in Ohio, and I sold him to a home in Ohio. He is a registered Paint, APHA. His registered name is Heza Blazing Button. His barn name when I acquired him was Blaze, and I know after I sold him his name was changed to Jitterbug with a barn name of Bug.
He has had a little bit of experience doing hunters, dressage, and eventing.
Anyway, here are two pictures of him. I would love any info, he was such a love bug.

The L.A. Times printed a sensational expose on how Google had a deal with Twitter to index and make publicly searchable protected tweets. Twitter allows users to keep their tweets private, seen just by their followers. But the Times asserted that Google had special access and that the Tweets were viewable to the public via search.
TechCrunch quickly picked up on the probability that the Tweets were searchable were likely public ones that were published before users went private with their Twitter feeds.
Then, the LA Times published an update with official comment from Twitter saying they do not have a deal with Google for access to private Tweets.
So, that happened.

I recently moved to Austin, and took up Disc Golf as a way to exercise and blow off some steam. Being new to the sport, I have had a ton of questions regarding discs, rules, places to play, and throwing tips. Every time I go into the Disc Nation store, I am greeted in a friendly and helpful manner. Everyone who works there has been a tremendous help. I am grateful that the sport of Disc Golf has such great folks behind the scenes keeping a positive vibe flowing. If you are ever in the Austin area, you should make a B line to Disc Nation, you will not be let down. Fore!

"I guess we're all excited that President Bush announced his nomination to the Supreme Court - John Roberts. Bush searched far and wide before he made the risky choice of a white guy in his 50s,"
Related quotes
"President Bush has nominated Roberts to become the most powerful judge on the nation's highest court. The public has a right to see documents that will give us more information about his judicial philosophy. If the White House continues to stall, then it begs the question, 'What is the president hiding, and why?' ... I applaud Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold for stating they will ask Roberts the tough questions and expect clear answers. We are urging Wisconsinites who value freedom and privacy to call their senators and urge them to oppose Roberts' nomination."
"It is not surprising in the least that a president from Texas would nominate an SMU graduate to the Supreme Court, ... It would have been surprising for JFK."
"Michael Brown, the director of FEMA, was nominated by President Bush in 2003 and plans to start the job any day now."
"Now that Roberts' nomination has been reported out of committee, we strongly urge senators to vote their conscience and reject his nomination when it reaches the floor. The stakes are too high and the consequences too great to gamble."

Judge tosses Apple lawsuit
Apple had claimed Google subsidiary Motorola Mobility wanted unreasonably high license fees for the use of patents on wireless technology.
Bloomberg News
Apple's breach-of-contract claims against Google's Motorola Mobility unit were dismissed after a judge questioned why a trial should be held if it wouldn't resolve the licensing battle between the two.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb canceled a trial that had been scheduled to begin Monday in Madison, Wis.
She had planned to establish a royalty rate on Motorola Mobility's patents that relate to industry standards. Apple said it wouldn't take a license to the patents unless the judge set the rate at $1 or less for each iPhone.
"There seems to be a bit of frustration," said David Long, a patent lawyer in Washington, D.C., who has been following the case. "Generally, courts are not inclined to give advisory opinions. The Constitution doesn't allow it and courts have a lot of other things to do."
This was the first of two cases, 2,000 miles apart, in which judges were to hear complaints from Apple and Microsoft that Motorola Mobility is demanding excessive royalties on patents deemed essential to standards for how electronic devices function.
Regulators in the U.S. and Europe are investigating whether Motorola Mobility is misusing those patents to curb competition in the $219 billion smartphone market.
The cases were to be the first in which courts were asked to define licensing obligations of patent owners who help create technological specifications.
Now the focus will turn to the trial involving Microsoft, scheduled to start next Tuesday in Seattle, said Jorge Contreras, an associate law professor at American University in Washington, D.C.
The nonjury trial is before U.S. District Judge James Robart, who has said he will set a range for what is the appropriate rate, so a jury could later decide if Motorola Mobility's offer was fair.
Apple and Microsoft raised the breach-of-contract claims in federal court in response to licensing demands and patent-infringement cases Motorola Mobility filed at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), which could ban imports of Apple's iPhone and Microsoft's Xbox video-gaming system.
An ITC judge is considering whether Microsoft violated two patents for video decoding and a nonessential patent for a way to establish communication between the Xbox and accessories.
The agency in August said Apple didn't infringe Motorola Mobility patents for standard wireless technology.

Motormouth Ted Nugent talked himself out of a show when an Idaho promoter cancelled a concert over the performer's "history of racist and hate-filled remarks."
His comments have been making headlines again in recent weeks after he claimed he had "an army of haters assigned to monitor" him – but that it made him determined to be "more verbose and more upfront" than ever before.
A spokesman for the Coer d'Alene Casino, owned by native American tribe of the same name, said: "For decades we have worked individually and a tribe to make sure each and every person is treated equally, and with respect and dignity. We do not want our casino to be used as a venue for the racist attitudes and views that Ted Nugent espouses."
While citing no examples, casino marketing director Laurs Stensgar said: "When we booked him we were looking at him as an 80s rock'n'roller who folks might enjoy. We take the comments and concerns of our community very seriously and we apologise to anyone who was offended by the idea that we would promote these kinds of attitudes."
Responding to the cancellation, Nugent tells Radio.com: "To call me a racist is a clear act of desperation. These sick, stoned, hygiene-challenged Michael Moore fans, they call in and complain that I'm a racist, they claim I'm a paedophile, that I dodged the draft. Meanwhile, what am I doing? I'm going to rock my ass off tonight. And tomorrow night. And the next night. I'm having the greatest tour of my life, and I'm going to have the greatest hunting season of my life."
Meanwhile, he's urged his Facebook followers to read a recent blog of his entitled "America's whining 'poor' and other conundrums." Responding to one fan who replied: "Yours was the first concert I went to – now, though, it seems like you're really angry and hateful," he says: "u must be stoned. I reek of happiness goodwill & dangerously positive energy generosity love & caring!! to not get that is indicative of your self inflicted ignorance. sorry for u."

My power went out at 2 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 29 as a result of Hurricane Sandy. We had no electric, heat or phone service. Before the outage occurred, we had called LIPA and told them the wires were arcing. They sent the Hicksville Fire Department, who really could not help us. I saw arcing continue until it involved the transformer. I saw the spark and then we lost power. One secondary line came down at that time.
On Tuesday, Oct. 30, a LIPA truck came down to fix the secondary line but they did not look at the transformer. I started to go down to speak to them but they raised their hands to block me and told me to stay away. Then they left. On Wednesday, Oct. 31, most of our block had power restored with the exception of our group of 10 houses at the end of the block.
We continued to call LIPA. On Thursday, Nov. 1 and Friday, Nov. 2, we called Congressman Steve Israel's office to ask for his help. There was no return call. One of our neighbors called Peter King's office and was repeatedly given information that our power would soon be restored but nothing happened. On Saturday, Nov. 3, my wife saw a LIPA truck in a local shopping mall parking lot but when she asked if they could help, they politely replied that they did not have our particular grid on their project map and could not help. They suggested she find a LIPA truck in our immediate area and talk to them. She searched but found no LIPA trucks.
The first time I saw a LIPA supervisor was on Sunday, Nov. 4 when a LIPA panel truck came down our block to survey the damage. He said his paperwork showed we had a disaster with wires down and a pole down, which was not the case. He looked more closely and then said we had a "quick fix" but that after working 12 hours, he was too tired to climb the pole.
On Tuesday, Nov. 6, another LIPA supervisor said they could not restore service until Thanksgiving. He also claimed that we had – by LIPA standards – a disaster, but this was not true.
We continued in the next few days to call LIPA and report the outage again and again. Many of our neighbors called tirelessly on our behalf, even those who now had power on the block.
Then, on Nov. 8, the nor'easter hit. We got about eight inches of snow. The storm had brought down two houses' phone/cable lines. They hung low but did not hit the street. Calls continued to LIPA in the hopes someone would return our call or come to fix the transformer. On Nov. 11, a call to the LIPA 1-800-490-0075 outage line said we would get a call back but that did not happen.
Then on Monday, Nov. 12, I spotted a utilities truck (crew brought in from Missouri) in the local Sears parking lot. I spoke to the supervisor and told him of our dilemma. He said they would be down shortly to check it out. About 45 minutes later, they arrived at 10 a.m., and without going up the pole, they used a tool that activated the transformer and power was restored.
Thinking back, when I spoke to the crew from Missouri, they had a map, which was so large and difficult to read that they asked me to locate the street where I lived on the map. The map had to be three by five feet. I have lived in Hicksville for 62 years and it took me more than five minutes to locate my street on the map. This is 2012. Paper maps? Where is the latest computer technology that the average person has at their fingertips?
No, our 10 houses did not suffer any severe damage. We were very lucky. Yes we endured no heat and some families left to sleep elsewhere as it was too cold to stay in their houses. We relied on the kindness of neighbors who had power and invited us in for meals. The occupants of one house who had elderly critically ill residents had to leave to go to the hospital to stay. Another neighbor left to stay with family as they had two small children. One elderly neighbor who had a severe heart condition left during the day but returned at night to stay in their cold house.
Unfortunately, one of our neighbors, out of complete frustration over the lack of response, acted a little irrationally by verbally threatening LIPA on the phone. But for the most part, we all stuck it out and just kept calling trying desperately to get someone down to check out the damage so it could be repaired.
At this time, I would like to publically thank all the men and women who came to help us.

Commuting to work via train is exasperating and expensive—add on the stress of parking and the threat of tickets, and it becomes madness.
At the Hicksville Long Island Railroad (LIRR) station, there are 2,603 total spots, which includes 1,440 in the town parking garage. Of the total spots, 1,531 are permit spots and 618 are unrestricted, according to the Town of Oyster Bay public information office. Though that sounds like plenty, the sheer volume of passengers commuting from the station makes every morning a mad dash for parking.

John Busto, a 6th Degree Black Belt in American Kempo Karate and lifelong Hicksville resident, was inspired to begin the rigorous path of martial arts at the young age of nine after watching the old David Carradine television show "Kung-Fu."
"I saw that show and I thought, 'I have to do this.' It was just something that was interesting to me; the mystique of martial arts," he said. "So my parents brought me to a local school called Tracy's Karate. Back then there weren't many schools like there are today, and I was lucky enough to have one in my town."

Football was Mike Torrellas' heart and soul. He also liked a good Turkey Bowl.
Unfortunately, the Hicksville Crusaders co-founder wasn't able to witness the program's inaugural event, which took place Saturday, Nov. 8.
Torrellas passed away suddenly last December due to a blood clot, but the spirit and drive of the man who wore the number 53 and tragically passed at that age still surrounds the Crusaders football program.

The Fine Art of Meal Planning
The first step toward a healthy lifestyle is appropriate meal planning. Eating healthy does not involve starving, nor does it involve loading up on proteins alone. If we've learnt anything from Michelle Obama's MyPlate, it is this: Meal planning is as simple as filling your plate the right way. Today we're taking a look at how you can better plan your meals and enjoy the benefits of a timely approach to health. So make way for the vegetables, fruits, grains and dairy.
What does a well-portioned meal look like?
Michelle Obama's MyPlate is a useful food icon to model all your meals. It tells you which foods are important for your body in which quantity. '50% of your plate should be full of fruits and vegetables.The rest should consist of protein, grains (half of which should be whole) and low-fat dairy' (via).The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, an organization of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, promotes MyPlate as the right path toward appropriate nutrition.
Our very own Indian National Institute of Nutrition advises all Indians to eat balanced meals that include these food groups: Carbs, fats, and protein. Do remember that when we mention carbs, we are talking about good carbs like whole grains, brown rice and beans, and when we mention fats, we're talking about good fats like unsaturated fats.
Let's look at some meal planning strategies:
The reason why meal planning is so important is because it determines how well you stick to your resolve of eating right. Poor meal planning, as most crash dieters experience, only leads to unbridled hunger pangs and before you know it you're three pizzas down and in a world of self-loathing. So begin with the simplest part of meal planning -
- Decide which bad foods you simply can't do without. Slot them in for just one or two meals per fortnight. This ensures that you don't crave it too much, and that you don't suffer too much in its absence.
- Decide which good foods you actually like. There must be a fruit, or a vegetable or a meat preparation that is healthy and that you are particularly fond of. Is it a vegetable stir-fry, grilled fish fillet, pulses in thick and hearty broth? Factor these in for regular meals.
- Supplement unhealthy food with healthy food. Even when you absolutely do cave in, don't eat the unhealthy dish by itself. Add a side order of a fresh salad, drink a glass of skimmed milk, or eat a fruit an hour before the meal.
- Set realistic meal plan goals. Don't change your cuisine, food orientation or meal timings too drastically.
- Follow the plate division rule for each meal. Half your plate must have fruits and vegetables, and the other half must be split between grains and protein. If you must drink something with your meal, let it be fresh and low-fat dairy or a vegetable juice that isn't high in artificial sugars and additives.
- Make sure that you eat every 2-4 hours, depending on how light or heavy the last meal was.
And these rules apply to each meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner. Ideally, even snacks should be split between at least two food groups. So a toast with some protein on it would work well. A fruit with some dairy topping would work well. You'll find that when you combine food groups in appropriate quantities, your digestive system and appetite fall into place. There will be no more sudden hunger pangs, no waking up with an upset stomach, and no bloating. Ultimately, practise makes perfect. Start your own healthy meal planning today, and you will realise how easy right nutrition and healthy eating is.

Colin Kaepernick
Daily Madden: Raiders' Loss To Dolphins; 49ers Defense 'The Big Thing'
It was another disappointing loss for the Raiders Sunday night at Wembley Stadium where Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Dolphins to a 38-14 victory over Oakland.
Team Grades: 49ers Start Strong, Stumble Late And Lose To Cardinals
San Francisco raced to the early lead than watched their opponent come back take the lead and snuff any attempt of a 49er comeback. The end result being a 23-14 Cardinal victory and a 49er team under .500.
KPIX 5 Video May Show 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick's Inappropriate Language At Bears Player
The National Football League has penalized 49ers quarterback Colin Kapernick during Sunday's game for using inappropriate language to a Chicago Bears player. Video shot by a KPIX 5 photographer may have caught the exchange that prompted the fine.
Kaepernick To Appeal $11,000 NFL Fine For 'Inappropriate Language' During 49ers-Bears Game
Colin Kaepernick says he has been fined more than $11,000 by the NFL and he will appeal the penalty for what was called "inappropriate language" by the 49ers quarterback following a fourth-quarter interception in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Bears.
Daily Madden: Penalties And Turnovers Ruin 49ers Game Plan
"You have a lead like that at home, there's no way you should lose that game," John Madden told the KCBS radio morning crew. "Turnovers and penalties will probably do it every time. When you have that lead at home and you have a pretty good defense and a pretty good running game, you have to be able to control that game."
Bears Spoil 49ers Home Opener With 28-20 Win
Jay Cutler passed for three fourth-quarter touchdowns after much of Chicago's starting defense went down, and the Bears beat the San Francisco 49ers 28-20 Sunday night to spoil their Levi's Stadium debut.
49ers Offense Needs More Consistency For Home Opener Against Bears
The San Francisco 49ers won their first game of the 2014 season, but they didn't generate enough offense consistently on their own. Gifted four turnovers by the Dallas Cowboys, the 49ers didn't score at all in the second half of the game. They'll need to make sure they create their own opportunities in Week Two against the Chicago Bears at the Levi's Stadium opener.
Daily Madden: 49ers Versatility Is Key To Success
The 49er defense shined in San Francisco's 28-17 victory over the Cowboys in Dallas Sunday. But John Madden says don't forget about the offense.
49ers (For Now) Silence Critics, Hold Off Cowboys In Opener
All the problems that seemed to be facing the 49ers were worked out on the field. The offense looked fine, the defense stepped up and the result was a road win, that was far from a lock. f the 49ers can continue to improve, they will be back in the thick of things at the end of the season.
49ers Open Season With 28-17 Win Over Dallas Cowboys
Colin Kaepernick looked ready to lead the San Francisco 49ers to another NFC championship game. Tony Romo looked rusty for the Dallas Cowboys.

Andy Murray is glad to be the centre of attention
Andy Murray tells Paul Newman he is untroubled by national expectation - and sometimes creeps into Wimbledon's most famous court to stir memories
Paul Newman
Paul Newman is Tennis Correspondent for The Independent.
Monday 25 June 2012
It is not the most obvious place for a tennis player to seek peace and quiet, but when Andy Murray is in reflective mood there is one spot in particular where he likes to go. When he practises at Wimbledon during the year he often takes the opportunity to sneak on to Centre Court, the stage on which so many of the most dramatic moments of his life have been played out.
"I've spent a bit more time at Wimbledon in the last year than I normally would have," Murray said. "There are good facilities and it's very quiet. Sometimes I want to get out of the way and not be bothered, just do my own thing.
"I've sat on Centre Court with no one there and thought a bit about the court, the matches I've played there. If I had done that five or six years ago I would not really have known what I was looking at; it was just another court. But when you have played so many matches you have a lot of memories from that court. It means a lot to me.
"I've done it many times over the last four or five months. When you sit down you think about all the matches you've played, not just one. It seems like a long time ago since the first time I played there."
It was seven years ago that Murray made his Centre Court debut in a match that established a template for so many matches of his career in terms of drama and excitement. He was 18, ranked No 312 in the world, and faced David Nalbandian, the world No 19 and a former finalist. Murray won the first two sets before his growing body gave way to fatigue and cramp. Nalbandian won in five sets but a British star had been born.
Murray, who plays his first match of this year's tournament tomorrow against Nikolay Davydenko, has since played in three Grand Slam finals, losing in Melbourne to both Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, who also beat him in New York. At Wimbledon he has come tantalisingly close in each of the last three years, losing in three successive semi-finals, twice to Rafael Nadal and once to Andy Roddick.
The public perception might be that the weight of history is always on Murray's shoulders at Wimbledon – it is 76 years since a British man won the title – but the Scot never sees it that way. He loves having the support of his home crowd and enjoys being able to return home every night to sleep in his own bed.
Even this time around, after a moderate clay-court season, problems with his back and a defeat in the first match of his only pre-Wimbledon grass-court tournament, he is in a positive mood.
"I feel relaxed because practice has been going well," he said. "A lot of times before a major event, if practice has been bad you'll be quite edgy and thinking: 'I need to get on the practice court, what can I do to make sure I'll be ready for the start of the event?' After Queen's, I was obviously a bit down. I wanted to play more matches there, but then the last few days I've played really well in practice."
Nevertheless, the off-court Murray can be a much more relaxed figure than he is on it. Ivan Lendl, his coach, has tried to keep the Scot focused on his tennis during matches – Lendl's influence was clear when Murray reached the Australian Open semi-finals this year with barely a scowl or a grimace before losing to Djokovic in the semi-finals – but since he has sometimes reverted to type.
"You have to be yourself," Murray said. "If you can self-motivate that's the most important thing. After some of the losses I've had over the years I could easily have been like: 'Oh, whatever, this isn't going to happen for me and I won't bother trying to improve myself or hiring Ivan and I won't train as hard as I do.' Everybody is different. Roger is completely different to Rafa and he is completely different to Novak.
"There have been times in matches in the past, in smaller events and Slams, where I would have said something negative or behaved in a way that probably didn't help me. But I've watched Novak in matches, yelling and going mental at his box, breaking rackets and whatever. Sometimes he can go on a really bad streak. In the final even, last year, he almost tanked the third set, but came back and won.
"For me, ideally I'd not like to have any moments in matches where I was negative, and it's something that I've tried to improve on, which I think I have over a five, six-year period. But it's part of my personality to be emotional. Also, if I went out on the court and said absolutely nothing, I know I would come off and people would say: 'Andy, what was wrong with you today? You seemed very flat on the court. You weren't expressing yourself'."
Murray said that Nalbandian's moment of madness at Queen's, where the Argentinian was defaulted from the final of the Aegon Championships after kicking an advertising hoarding and injuring a line judge, showed how even the most battle-hardened players sometimes fail to contain their emotions. "However much experience he's had, you still sometimes boil over," Murray said. "You can't always control that. Maybe it is something that has held me back, but I'm trying. I've tried to change it. It's not that I haven't looked and thought 'That's great' or seen myself on the court and thought: 'Andy, you can do a much better job with that.' I've tried. I've tried hard to do it, but it's not always possible to keep your emotions in check."
Does he worry about his public image? "I don't care about that any more," Murray said. "I've been called everything, by many people, criticised by great players, journalists or people in the street. Whatever I say or do, it's never going to be right. The only thing I can do is try to perform on the court. If I perform on the court, that's what I care about. I care about the people within tennis.
"I know what I do off the court. I think I'm a very nice person. I'm very polite to everybody that I meet. I don't say anything bad about any other players on the tour. So just because I'm a bit negative on the court sometimes, does that make me a bad person? I don't think that's the case."
Six months into his relationship with Lendl, Murray is confident that his coach can help him make his final breakthrough. "I guess you would say that the honeymoon period is over and now it becomes the same as most of the coach-player relationships I've had," Murray said. "He has a lot to offer, a lot more knowledge than most people in tennis. I want to work with him for a long time."
There was a time when players might have thought that at 25 their chances of winning a Grand Slam title had passed them by, but Murray pointed out that the average age of top players has risen significantly.
"It's more physical and tough when you're young, so it's taking guys a lot longer to break through," Murray said. "Guys are going to be peaking later in their career, as we've seen with guys like [Jo-Wilfried] Tsonga, [Tomas] Berdych and [David] Ferrer.

So... did the information on this ever get released? Looking at the antenna on the vehicle it has all the earmarks of being law enforcement. You just have to think somebody "protected" was behind the wheel. So much for investigative journalism.
IN the initial story the Crown Victoria was in the left most lane and attempted to make a right hand turn, passing in front of the Suzuki. Now the published report is that the Crown Victoria was merely changing lanes, I'd be interested in whether Mr. Gonzales rethought the events or it's now just being reported differently because the Crown Victoria looks to be an official car. How do "similar stories" not include the original version? Baseball, the symphony, and Rosenberg library are not similar stories. GCDN?
Broadway is not a speed way. People drive crazy
The Crown Victoria looks like it is/was a police vehicle.

• Erick Erickson has a full-on soregasm because Ezra Klein doubts Officer Wilson's story about how Demon Mike Brown made him kill him. Why that sissy Klein knows nothing about "the blue collar of existence of a beat cop and what that cop sees," unlike red-blooded, ham-faced lawyer/politician Erick Erickson:
I think liberals like Klein who find Darren Wilson's statement as simply too incredible to be true need to call their local police force and see if they can tag along in a squad car a few times. I have done it. It is quite an education.Yeah, like that time the cops Erickson was with those cops who shot a black guy dead, and then were allowed to bag their own guns as evidence, and the prosecutor told the grand jury not to take it all too seriously -- you libtards don't realize this is the real world!
• If you need some what-a-bunch-of-morons for entertainment, look at the responses to any Progressive Insurance @ItsFlo tweet, such as this one; most of the respondents are wingnuts enraged that the insurer gives all its money to George Soros:
Lewis, who did contribute to liberal causes, stepped down as Progressive chairman in 2000 and died in 2013. But tell that to the salt of the earth, the common clay -- or to John Hawkins of Right Wing News, who was telling his poor readers in 2013 that Lewis was still in charge and "may be the biggest liberal sugar daddy on the block." Actually, considering the difficulty they have understanding health insurance, maybe conservatives should boycott all insurance as socialism. Hell, those pointy-headed actuaries even believe in global warming!
• A John Podhoretz (ding!) column in the New York Post (ding!) called "Turning on the cops: Forgetting what crime was like" (dingdingdingding!) was bound to be a nightmare, and it is -- all about how you liberals don't remember the crime it was so bad you must worship the Man on the Beat etc. But the bit where Podhoretz tells black folks to cool it over Ferguson is awful even for him:
It might surprise Al Sharpton to hear this, but even among white people, it's rare to find any American who's only ever had pleasant interchanges with police officers.
Every year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 41 million speeding tickets are written in the United States. The notion that only minorities have infuriating encounters with cops is belied by that astounding factoid.
After all, is there a soul alive who hasn't reacted negatively (in his heart, at least) to the cop who comes to the driver-side window and asks that obnoxious and oddly schoolmarmish question: "Do you know why I stopped you?"I dunno what black people are bitching about -- white people get speeding tickets all the time!

Best Selling Catholic Author, Joan Carroll Cruz, Dies at 81
Catholic PRWire
Charlotte, NC (October 24, 2012) � With great sadness Saint Benedict Press announces the death of best-selling Catholic author, Joan Carroll Cruz. Mrs. Cruz passed away, Saturday, October 20, 2012, at North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond, LA. She was 81 years old.
Mrs. Cruz was the author of 15 Catholic books, all of which received the imprimatur. She was perhaps best known for her writings on miraculous occurrences of faith which she compiled through meticulous research of foreign shrines, churches, convents and monasteries. Some of her most popular titles include Eucharistic Miracles (TAN 1987), The Incorruptibles (TAN 1977), and Prayers and Heavenly Promises (TAN 1990).
�Joan Carroll Cruz touched hundreds of thousands of people through her writings,� said Saint Benedict Press publisher Robert M. Gallagher. �Her books on apparitions and miraculous events provide powerful evidence for faith by reinforcing the teachings of the Church and making supernatural realities more real to each one of her readers.�
�We are privileged to be her publisher and we look forward to maintaining her legacy by preserving her books and bringing them to new readers,� said Gallagher.
Mrs. Cruz is a native of New Orleans, LA, and was educated by the School Sisters of Notre Dame. She was a member of the Discalced Carmelite Secular Order for 50 years and received the Mother Teresa Award in 2005.

In that span, the Colorado Buffalos, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Missouri Tigers, and Texas A&M Aggies all departed the conference and were replaced with the TCU Horned Frogs and the West Virginia Mountaineers.
After all the shifting and changes and rumors of the conference's demise that were being reported, the conference is still standing strong, and the teams in the Big 12 now have something they've never had before: Pride in each other and pride in their conference. Somewhere along the way, even the most hated rivals have found a sense of respect for their fellow conference foes. For the first time since its inception, this bowl season, fans of member schools find themselves cheering for other Big 12 teams they once hated (and still do when it comes to inter-conference play) simply because of their new-found conference pride. After all, they are the ones who stood together through it all and remained loyal to one another.
Before this whole realignment mess started a few years back, Big 12 teams were notorious for cheering against whatever fellow Big 12 team was playing; there was no conference loyalty whatsoever. Now, all of that seems to have changed, at least where many fans are concerned.
If you read Big 12 and individual team message boards, fans are now cheering for their conference teams rather than for their opponents. For example, even Texas Longhorns fans, who just one year ago wouldn't cheer for the Oklahoma Sooners if their very lives depended on it, find themselves begrudgingly hoping that they beat the Aggies in the upcoming Cotton Bowl; it's not just because of their disdain for their former in-state rivals (or even that they are cheering for the Sooners), but because they are cheering for the Big 12. The teams in the conference are out to make a statement.
For years, college football fans have been boasting that the SEC is the most dominant conference in the country, and truth be told, it's hard to argue against that point. There is no denying that the top teams in the country have played in the SEC the past few years, however, many fans of Big 12 teams will tell you that over the last couple of seasons, their conference, top to bottom, could in fact be considered the strongest.
They are out now out to prove it, and if it takes cheering for a conference team you hate, then so be it.
It's a strange feeling, rooting for the teams you once cheered against no matter what, but somehow, some way, in the midst of the Big 12′s rebirth, a sense of conference pride has finally been found.
