July 10
9:30 a.m. — 3900 block of 57th Drive East. Criminal mischief. The victim reported someone drove by her house and hit her mailbox with an unknown object. She could hear the noise outside her house, but saw no one. She noticed damage to the mailbox the next morning. She stated this has happened several times throughout the community in recent weeks.
July 10
6 a.m. — 6600 block of 2nd Avenue East. Theft. The complainant stated someone stole the hubcaps from her vehicle. She did not know who stole them.
July 9
4:45 p.m. — 4100 block of Second Avenue East. Attempted burglary. The suspect(s) attempted to enter the home by removing a screen window from the rear of the residence. The victim saw the suspect and confronted him, which caused him to flee the area.

The clerk was busy with a customer and asked the suspect to wait. Once the suspect approached the counter, he had several items to purchase and rendered the $100 bill. The clerk immediately believed it was counterfeit. The clerk used the counterfeit detection pen and observed a black line on the bill, which indicated it was counterfeit. The clerk confronted the suspect, who stated he had just cashed his check at Amscot. The suspect then left abruptly. Several minutes after contacting the sheriff's office and before a deputy arrived on scene, the suspect returned and asked for the bill back.
July 10

8 p.m. — 2800 block of University Parkway. Burglary to vehicle. The victim reported he had been having coffee before he returned to his vehicle and found his handicap placard was missing. It had been hanging on the rear view mirror. The victim said his door was unlocked and nothing else was taken.

Playing for the Cause Helps Out Those in Need
By Joseph Hess
On his new album, The Austin Sessions, guitarist/vocalist Edwin McCain titles one of his new songs "I Want It All," but in fact he's not nearly so greedy. After a terrific run on Atlantic Records -- which included the albums Misguided Roses and Messenger and the hits "I'll Be" and "I Could Not Ask for More" -- McCain was happy to downsize a bit, releasing his latest effort on the fledgling Nashville label ATC. "It's a lot less of a clusterfuck," McCain says of his new situation. It's a lot less of me having to talk to 25 people before I can go scratch my balls. It's over. All that stuff is done with."
McCain's new creative autonomy has paid off on The Austin Sessions. It's a gorgeous collection of stripped-down songs, some of them new, some of them reworked favorites, plus a few well-chosen covers, including Dire Straits' "Romeo & Juliet." "I was glad I went on that ride," McCain says of his major-label days. "It was definitely a necessary part of promotion the rest of my life. I could never have paid for the amount of promotion and advertising that Atlantic Records did on my behalf. And now that I've survived the advertising phase of my life, I can kind of get on with the musical phase."
With The Austin Sessions, he's off to a great start.

How To Make 2-Ingredient Nutella Brownies
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Seriously, is there anything Nutella can't do? It's already basically the most amazing substance known to human kind, and now you tell me that I can mix Nutella with just one ingredient to make a batch of fudgy, chewy brownies?
I know — if I hadn't tried it myself, I wouldn't believe me either. But here's exactly how you, too, can make these magical 2-ingredient brownies for yourself.
Recipe: Vegan Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream
Recipes from The Kitchn
We had a legitimate heat wave in Seattle last week — which, as you can probably guess, isn't all that common. I didn't feel much like cooking, and instead found myself reaching for simple salads, popsicles and sparkling water. With a few scoops of ice cream thrown in for good measure.
That's how the idea for this recipe was born: we had sweet strawberries from the farmers market and I thought, instead of going out for ice cream cones, we could make our own and linger in the backyard instead.
18 Frozen Treats You Can Enjoy Without an Ice Cream Maker
Summer Recipes from The Kitchn
Now that it's warm out, it's time to turn off the oven and make yourself something deliciously cold for dessert. No ice cream maker? No problem. There are plenty of frozen treats that don't require that seasonal kitchen tool, like a frozen Oreo cake that will have your Memorial Day crowd screaming for more. If you haven't tried that magical one-ingredient banana ice cream, now is the time (Nutella optional but recommended). Then there is the bright crush of juicy, slushy sorbets and popsicles, not to mention milkshakes; go traditional with sublime strawberry or shake it up with banana cream pie.
We have 18 frozen delights for you today — which will start off your summer?
Recipe: Lemon Poppyseed Bundt Cake
Recipes from The Kitchn
I am always trying to think of new dessert recipes to have on hand for easy entertaining. Recipes that are fresh, simple, and allow you to spend time with your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
When Anjali asked me to help her with a cake for her Grown-Up Baby Shower, I knew this Lemon Poppyseed Bundt Cake would be a winner. With summer just around the corner, this no-fuss recipe is perfect for whatever backyard gathering or barbecue is heading your way.
How To Make Toasted Marshmallow Strawberries
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
When strawberries come into their own in late May and early June, they need very little help making their way from the carton into our mouths. But once you've eaten a few pounds and perhaps made a batch of chocolate-dipped strawberries, what's next?
How about toasted marshmallow strawberries? This is a two-ingredient dessert that also happens to be a fun after-dinner treat to make with friends. Think of it as strawberry S'mores, no campfire needed. Toasty, sweet marshmallows and tart berries? So delicious. Make extra — here's how!
Recipe: Strawberry Upside-Down Cake
Dessert Recipes from The Kitchn
Traditionally, an upside-down cake is not outfitted with a piped and toasted meringue, nor is it usually drizzled with any sort of syrup. But let's break the rules here. This Strawberry Upside-Down Cake with its double-dose of strawberries and topping of marshmallowy meringue is worth it.
How To Make a No-Bake Icebox Cake
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Right about the time you pull the white sandals and beach gear out of the closet, big, easy, and delicious party desserts also come into high style. What are you taking to that family potluck or graduation party this month? May I suggest the easiest yet most impressive dessert I know? It doesn't even require an oven!
The icebox cake is a no-bake confection that needs literally no cooking or baking, and yet it yields what you would swear are slices of tender cake layers, filled with airy whipped cream and fresh summer fruit. Come see how to make one; you don't even need a recipe.
Recipe: Raspberry-Coconut French Macarons
Recipes from The Kitchn
Most days are spent running around between work and errands, throwing dinner together at the last minute, and whipping up a quick one-bowl batter or treat if time allows. But some days are specifically reserved for baking projects, kitchen experiments, and fancy pastries. French macarons definitely fall into this category.
With Mother's Day just around the corner, these Raspberry-Coconut French Macarons are the perfect treats. Spend some quality time on them and then share with your loved ones.
Recipe: Big Pancake (Dutch Baby)
Recipes from The Kitchn
Hands down, my favorite breakfast is a whimsical, slightly sour, oven-baked creature that my mom used to make for me when I had sleepovers at our house as a kid. We called it Big Pancake; others know it as a Dutch Baby or German Pancake. In the morning I'd hear the blender going and know she was making the batter. About 45 minutes later, a gaggle of pajamaed girls would gather around the over and watch the pancake's showy, doughy display.
The Best Chocolate for Melting & Dipping: Pro Tips from a Pastry Chef
Ingredient Intelligence
Earlier today we shared one of our favorite treats: chocolate-dipped strawberries, so now let's talk chocolate. Specifically, dipping chocolate. What kind of chocolate do you need for goodies like these? Take a few tips from this pastry chef — I've dipped a lot of chocolate in my time so let me give you the scoop.

155 World currencies to reset?Submitted by Dustflo on Tue, 03/20/2012 - 18:20
Just got word that after the banks in Hawaii close today, 3/20/2012, that 155 world currencies are going to reset. I really have no idea what this means and it could just be a rumor?? Not wanting to disclose my source either but has anyone else heard this?
Can someone explain what this would mean?(if its NOT a rumor and actually does happen then I didn't want to see it in the news then post something tomorrow saying I knew or heard this was coming... Nobody would believe me then, so I just wanted to post this today.)
- Login to post comments
I have no idea what that
I have no idea what that could mean. Please supply the complete quotation. The only international peg that I know of is the SDR (special drawing right), but it contains only four currencies, and is not due to recalibrate until 2015. I suspect BS.

Jim O'Neill - Chairman, Goldman Asset mgmt
Here is the link to the interview - appreciate anyone's comments.
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know Peace." - Jimi Hendrix
O'Neill is a Market Bull
Listen to him for ten minutes and you will want to buy stocks. The young guys at the Squawk Box were obviously in awe of him and are no doubt even now reassembling their portfolios.
Whether he is taking his own advice or simply talking up the market to implement an exit strategy is impossible to know. Here is a commentary from a Market Bear to balance the equation:
You pays your money and you takes your pick.
"Jesus answered them: 'Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.'" (John 8:34-36)
There's also this
Iran's oil bourse started trading on 3/20/2012.
A lot of things are happening on this day.
Also, for those that are into conspiracy theories, 3/20/2012 is the spring equinox lol...
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, an
so...where are we at ? anyone?
Like we have that big, long national debt counter- we should also have this big fan. And some way to determine what sh*t and in what amount some sh*t has already hit this fan. Maybe each blade of the National Sh*t Fan could be relegated to represent some area of importance; the economy, personal liberty what have you. "See the fan this morning Janet? Seems some more sh*t hit the national fan after the markets closed last night...any more sh*t registers on the civil liberties blade and we're supposed to leave our bug-out bag next to the door before we go to bed."
Sounds like a great idea actually! Who wants to start a petition to get a national sh*t fan counter in place??

The oil-backed FRN is the global currency; but Iran's being mean by trading oil in other currencies, thus helping spark a currency war that will leave more casualties than World War I and II through starvation and privation.
Why? Oh, I don't know... something about a hyperinflationary blowout as the Fed's monetarist emissions have nowhere to flow except onto Main street, forcing prices through the roof, so that even a month's worth of Food Stamps won't buy a single strawberry.
I guess future Sec. of State John Bolton is correct: We'll have to implement the world's first Drone-backed currency, and bomb the hell out of anyone who refuses to trade with it.

Most bonds are going to expire. Its time to pay up.
I don't know if this is true but has anyone heard of NESARA-National Economic Stabilization and Recovery Act
That's correct. $7 trillion in maturing bonds due this year
That's correct. $7 trillion in maturing bonds due this year with $2 trillion THIS month, the heaviest maturing bond sale in history. Its been pretty smooth, owing to a flash of unspoken QE3-style liquidity provided by Bernanke-backed securities. Oh yes! As long as the Princeton professor tells us "gold will not solve our problems" (even as his own solutions utterly fail) and a "gold standard would increase the money supply and lower interest rates in good times, the opposite of a central bank" (even as central bank activities caused all our problems), EVERYTHING's gonna be all right!!

is this something that's done
is this something that's done weekly, i think? not totally sure, but i think it is a weekly reset?
Here is a site I look at
once in a while and if you notice the word "set" is in the last column. I wonder if that has anything to do with what you were told. Bump for someone who may help us understand this and what it means.

QUESTION: wouldn't metals be flying through the roof right now?
how come they are not really moving.
Hawaii is 6 hours behind
Eastern time. Not sure when their banks close but that's when I was told this will go into play.
This could be it folks.
The something big we've all been reading about. Sounds like what Benjamin Fulford and David Wilcock have been putting out there. The rest of the world no longer wants to deal with US dollars anymore, they have formed an alliance. First the banksters get taken out, then the media conglomerates, then the politicians. The universe is cleaning house. Read up here http://divinecosmos.com/start-here/davids-blog/995-lawsuit-e... Don't panic, it's all good!
This is quite the read. I just finished reading both parts, and I have to say that part 2 takes a hard left turn into "War of the Worlds" so to speak.
By claiming there is no conspiracy, you prove to those who believe in the conspiracy that you are part of the conspiracy.
Completely agree
He builds such a damn compelling case though building up to that part, that I'm inclined to believe him. Ha. Granted I would only share that piece of info as a nameless commenter on an internet message board or to my closest friends, with a healthy dose of "I'm not saying I believe it, but..."
I just blew off work this
I just blew off work this morning reading part1. All I can say is Holy $#@$. As far as i'm concerned it can't happen soon enough. I especially like the part of all our criminal senators, mediaheads, Rothschilds, Fed Board, Bushes, Obama all get hauled to jail. I hope the clear heads at the pentagon & military act soon.
I know of one man with the integrity to lead us out of this mess. That's right Ron Paul.
Conspiracy theory or not...
I have no idea, but I just spent a couple hours reading part one. If it's true, this is the most mind-blowing story in the history of the world.
Even if its fiction, it's one of the most fascinating works of fiction I can ever remember reading. I plan to read part two tomorrow. Thank you!
does this tie into the Exec Order Obama just signed?
Link to a radio roundtable discussing how it would be applied, examples like imports ceasing, etc. haven't listened to it all but so far they are doing a good job breaking it down.
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know Peace." - Jimi Hendrix
interesting. It is important to stay calm if it happens.
Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.
who can confirm this or provide more info?
Disregard government. Acquire liberty.
Seems like this would be...
...all over the alternative media. Is Bob Chapman, etc. saying anything about it?
If this is happening or if its going to happen
will the dollar be worthless? what would be a wise course of action to protect yourself financially? Gold and silver right? I dont really have too many frns to secure much of that. So, if it is tonight is there anything that can be done to ensure my money doesnt evaporate besides a walmart shopping spree tonight, or in the eventual reset? What would a reset really mean? would regular people like me even be affected by this?
New Financial system?
are you talking about the 155 nation alliance plan? is it going live tonight? if so things are going to be VERY interesting as this plays out

Hundreds of thousands of French citizens marched along the Champs-Elysees Avenue toward the Presidential palace of Francois Hollande. Their purpose was to defend marriage and the family and society founded upon it against those who oppose marriage and seek to restructure civil society by legislative or judicial fiat. They faced tear gas and clubs from the riot police representing the French Socialist regime. They were courageous and unwilling to back down. They sang La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem, and called for the resignation of the President.

PARIS, FRANCE (Catholic Online) - On Sunday, March 24, 2013, hundreds of thousands of French citizens marched along the Champs-Elysees Avenue toward the Presidential palace of Francois Hollande. Their purpose was to defend marriage and the family and society founded upon it against those who oppose marriage and seek to restructure civil society by legislative or judicial fiat.
They faced tear gas and clubs from the riot police representing the French Socialist regime. They were courageous and unwilling to back down. They sang La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem, and called for the resignation of the President.
They are a part of a growing global movement I am calling a Marriage Liberation Movement. They seek to liberate marriage from the grip of propagandists and Cultural Revolutionaries. Their goal is to defend marriage against an assault by those who seek to redefine it and replace it with a profane counterfeit in an effort to foment a Cultural Revolution in the West.
If you read many main stream propaganda media reports on the March you were misinformed. You were told that these people opposed 'gay marriage', a phrase which is an oxymoron. The propaganda press uses Orwellian newspeak to fuel caricatures against those who defend true marriage. They do not report the news - they promote the Cultural Revolution.
Like propagandists of the past, they attempt to frame public perception by calling those who defend marriage against 'marriage equality', a propaganda ploy. Homosexual partnerships are incapable of being marriages. Those who defend marriage, defend marriage - and the family and society founded upon it. In so doing they also defend the true common good. Marriage 'is what it is', to use a popular expression.The effort to redefine the word and then use the mechanisms of the State to entirely restructure this institution inscribed in the Natural Law - and then replace it - is what is really at stake here.
Those who advocate giving moral and legal equivalency to homosexual and lesbian relationships are the people who oppose marriage. Their intention is to entirely reorder civil society. They use that phrase 'marriage equality' in an Orwellian act of verbal engineering. They seek to make what can never be a marriage - a homosexual or lesbian partnership - to be a marriage, by pronouncement of a Court or a legislature. They accuse those who defend marriage of being against marriage because we will not redefine the word to include homosexual or lesbian partnerships.
Those who marched in Paris are joined in solidarity by the marchers who gather in the United States of America on Tuesday, March 26, 2013. This is the first of many Marches for Marriage in the United States. It will occur in Washington, DC. when the US Supreme Court hears arguments in two cases which anti-marriage activists hope will advance their Cultural Revolution.
The day for the march was called when the docket of the United States Supreme Court revealed that the Court will hear Hollingsworth v. Perry on Tuesday and United States v. Windsor on Wednesday. These two cases seek to use the US Supreme Court to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act and misuse the Constitution's Equal protection Clause to promote and advance the Cultural Revolution opposing marriage in the United States.
To limit marriage to heterosexual couples is not discriminatory. Homosexual couples cannot bring into existence what marriage intends by its very definition. To confer by governmental fiat the benefits that have been conferred in the past only to stable married couples and families to homosexual and lesbian paramours is bad public policy. To state this so bluntly is not to be 'anti-gay'; it is simply to defend marriage and the common good.
Though the Marriage Liberation Marchers in Paris represented every segment of French society, and reflected a wide range of ages, ethnic identities and political persuasions, they were collectively labeled as conservatives in much of the international press. They were dismissed in propaganda press reports as bigoted. Get ready, you and I are soon to face the same treatment.
The struggle we face as western culture declines concerns a clash of worldviews, personal and corporate, and competing definitions of human freedom, human dignity, and human flourishing. We are involved in a contest over the foundations of what constitutes a truly human and just social order.
We insist that marriage between one man and one woman, intended for life, and the family founded upon it, has been inscribed by the Divine Architect into the order of the universe. That is because they have. Truth does not change, people and cultures do; sometimes for good and sometimes for evil.
Marriage is the first society into which children are meant to be born, learn to be fully human, grow in virtue, flourish and take their role in families and communities. We must not be afraid to make the claim that children have a right to a mother and a father. They do.
Of course we care about the single parent family and the many broken homes which characterize this age. However, their existence does not change the norm necessary for a stable and healthy society. In tact marriages and families are the glue of a healthy and happy social order. We need to be a visible, palpable reflection of this truth about marriage and family in our own lives. To live a faithful marriage is now countercultural.
Our convictions and claims concerning marriage are not outdated notions of a past era but provide the path to the future. Nor is our position defending marriage as between one man and one woman simply a religious position. We insist upon the existence of a Natural Moral Law which can be known by all men and women through the exercise of reason.
The Natural Moral Law is the ground upon which every great civilization has been built. It is the source for every great and authentic human and civil rights movement. The Natural Law gives us the moral norms we need to build societies and govern ourselves. It should inform our positive law or we will become lawless and devolve into anarchy.
There is a growing intolerance spreading across the Nations of the West against our rights to free expression, association and political participation. This is reflected in a brazen effort to censor any speech which questions the cultural slide into the abyss of relativism. Efforts to prevent our vocal and public defense of the objective truth about marriage and the family are multiplying. However, they are not succeeding.
That was evident this past weekend in the streets of Paris, France where hundreds of thousands gathered to defend marriage and the family and society founded upon them. The brave members of the emerging Marriage Liberation Movement in France also marched last January 13, 2013. Similar marched have occurred in the Philippines and Australia.
The position of the Catholic Church on the nature of marriage is crystal clear. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Catholic Church explained in 2003. "The Church's teaching on marriage and on the complementarity of the sexes reiterates a truth that is evident to right reason and recognized as such by all the major cultures of the world. Marriage is not just any relationship between human beings. It was established by the Creator with its own nature, essential properties and purpose."
"No ideology can erase from the human spirit the certainty that marriage exists solely between a man and a woman, who by mutual personal gift, proper and exclusive to themselves, tend toward the communion of their persons. In this way, they mutually perfect each other, in order to cooperate with God in the procreation and upbringing of new human lives."
Civil institutions do not create marriage. Neither can they create some new right to marry for those who are incapable of marriage. Government has long regulated marriage for the common good. The ban on polygamy and age requirements were enforced in order to ensure that there was a mature decision at the basis of the Marriage contract. Heterosexual marriage, procreation, and the nurturing of children form the foundation for the family, and the family forms the foundation of civil society.
What occurred in Paris this weekend is the beginning of a Movement which is spreading throughout the West. It will stand up against those who seek to undermine marriage. What began in Washington, DC on Tuesday, March 26, 2012, is just the first action. There is an international Marriage Liberation Movement gathering.

"They finally asked me not to come back anymore."
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was the first real "slasher" film, and it changed many things—the ratings code of the Motion Picture Association of America, the national debate on violence, the Texas Film Commission, the horror genre—but it remained a curiously isolated phenomenon. The film itself, involving five young people on a twisted drive through the country, is a strange, shifting experience—early audiences were horrified; later audiences laughed; newcomers to the movie were inevitably stricken with a vaguely uneasy feeling, as though the movie might have actually been made by a maniac—but the story behind the film is even stranger." We begin with a couple of stolen barbecue chicken wings....
Brief film noir reviews: 290 and counting
The early film archive of Josef-Alexis Joye, Swiss Jesuit Abbot
Over a hundred years ago, a most impressive collection of early motion pictures was collected by the Swiss Jesuit abbot, Josef-Alexis Joye, who collected a trove of films as a way of educating children and adults. In total, he collected around 2,500 titles between 1902 or 1904 and 1915. The abbot's collection was not forgotten or lost after his death in 1919 -- it was stored and cataloged, though in danger of deteriorating by the 1940s. A few decades later, Italian film historian Davide Turconi, fearing that the films would be entirely through deterioration, decided to clip a few frames from each print and save something of the collection. Luckily, his fears were unfounded, and many the films were preserved in the 1970s by David Francis of the National Film and Television Archive of the British Film Institute, where approximately 1,200 of the nitrate prints still exist.

The First Entirely New Experience in Entertainment Since Pictures Talked
"The rise in popularity of television is credited with inciting the move to the widescreen systems that flourished throughout the 50s, 60s, and 70s. This is only partially true. In the early 1950s, studios did begin to compose their movies so that the top and bottom of the picture could be chopped off and a wider screen would show the center of the old 1.37:1 frame. The aspect ratio used by the various studios varied from about 1.5:1 up to the common 1.85:1. But the real reason for the birth of a multitude of widescreen and large format systems was the 1952 opening of a movie made in a process that had its roots in a World War II aerial gunnery trainer. This Is Cinerama (modern YouTube trailer; Wikipedia) shook the industry to the core. The public and reviewers loved it. Its giant screen filled with three oversized 35mm images and an incredible new sound system called Stereophonic were a marvel to behold, and the studios immediately rushed to find something that could do what Cinerama did (Google books preview of the August 1952 issue of Popular Mechanics)."

Nollywood Worldwide: streaming Nigerian films
The Nigerian film industry known as Nollywood started humbly about 20 years ago. Nollywood movies were shot as cheaply and as quickly as possible, then released straight to VHS. The majority of Nollywood films are still sold offline, in outdoor markets from wheelbarrows or by the roadside from street vendors. In the early 2000s, Nollywood distribution shifted from VHS to discs — and now, the movies are also beginning to stream online. iROKO, one of the first companies to take Nigerian films online, is carefully tracking the viewing patterns of its growing audience. While Nigerian internet access is often subpar, streaming services are catering to the international diaspora. iROKOtv is a hub for streaming movies, with plenty of free movies alongside movies available as part of monthly membership. Their website grew out of their YouTube channel, which had over 400 movies online in 2011, though recently they are mainly posting trailers. If you're not sure which movies to see, Nollywood Forever has plenty of reviews, and Nollywood.com has a ton of African movie trailers.

"An obscure world of celluloid intrigue"
"At a time when most old films were still protected by copyright and studios were urging the FBI to prosecute individuals owning copyrighted films, movie collecting was a largely underground and somewhat dangerous activity." In 1977, for example, a 20 year old film collector was visited by the FBI. The agents, posing as fellow collectors, entered his home and seized his collection. His case wasn't unique. Even the stars — most famously, Roddy McDowall — were subject to the legal wrath of the very studios they worked for. Still, some collectors got away with it (including one J. D. Salinger).

"The cinema is Nicholas Ray"
Today is the 100th birthday of Raymond Nicholas Kienzle, better known as Nicholas Ray. The seminal Hollywood-outcast-turned-French-New-Wave idol behind Rebel Without a Cause, Bigger Than Life, Bitter Victory and the hallucinatory Western Johnny Guitar made intensely emotional films about isolated people, often infused with profound desperation and a sense of the nightmarish. Francois Truffaut dubbed him "the poet of nightfall," while Jean-Luc Godard simply declared that "the cinema is Nicholas Ray." He studied architecture under Frank Lloyd Wright, mentored Jim Jarmusch and let Wim Wenders film him as he was dying of cancer. Bob Dylan even wrote a hit song about one of his movies. [more inside]
"...the way of nature, and the way of grace."
For Roger Ebert, it's a prayer that made him "more alert to the awe of existence." For Rober Koehler, it's a kitschy New Age con. For Richard Brody, it perfectly captures the essence of a generation by depicting a character thinking "back to the musings and fantasies of childhood, which are the product of a wondrous and fantastic view of science formed by popular-science books for children and by the commercial artists whose illustrations adorned them." For Stephanie Zacharek, it's "a gargantuan work of pretension." For Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, it's "a creation myth in the guise of a crypto-autobiography" that invents a universe of its own only to destroy it. For J. Hoberman, it's lifeless and dull, "essentially a religious work and, as such, may please the director's devotees, cultists, and apologists." It spent thirty years in development, three in editing and, yes, it contains dinosaurs. The Tree of Life, written and directed by famously reclusive Zoolander fan and "JD Salinger of American movies" Terrence Malick , won the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Well, it's slowly becoming essential again. Their website is trés chic, intelectually challenging and a welcome antidote to the usual online movie-reviewing clowns. Or is it still a load of pretentious rubbish? (In French, but with a lovely intro, lots of cool stills and a Quicktime interview, in English, with underrated director Paul Verhoeven)

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional league for Twenty20 cricket championship in India. It was initiated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), headquartered in Mumbai, and is supervised by BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla, who serves as the league's Chairman and Commissioner. It is currently contested by nine teams, consisting of players from around the world. It was started after an altercation between the BCCI and the Indian Cricket League.
In 2010, the IPL became the first sporting event ever to be broadcast live on YouTube in association with Indiatimes. Its brand value is estimated to be around US$3.67 billion in fourth season. However, the league has been engulfed by series of corruption scandals involving from cricket betting to spot fixing.Kolkata Knight Riders won the 2012 edition of Indian Premier League.
The inaugural season of the tournament started on 18 April 2008 and lasted for 46 days with 59 matches scheduled, out of which 58 took place and 1 was washed out due to rain. The final was played in DY Patil Stadium, Nerul, Navi Mumbai. Every team played each other both at home and away in a round robin system. The top four ranking sides progressed to the knockout stage of semi-finals followed by a final. Rajasthan Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings in a last ball thriller and emerged as the inaugural IPL champions.

Product description
Three families live in the seaside village of Frip -- the Romos, the Ronsens, and a little girl named Capable and her widowed father. The townspeople of Frip make their living raising goats, but they must fight off a daily invasion of gappers, bright orange, many-eyed creatures that cover goats and stop them from giving milk. When the gappers target Capable's goats, the Romos and the Ronsens turn their backs on the gapper-ridden Capable. What will Capable do about her gapper plague? An imaginative tale by acclaimed author George Saunders accented with haunting illustrations by award-winning illustrator Lane Smith, The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip is an adult story for children, a children's story for adults, an oceanside fable for the landlocked, a fish story for loaves, and a fable about the true meaning of community.

Journal Sentinel beat writers Bob McGinn and Tyler Dunne talk Packers in a weekly podcast. Download the podcasts here.
In a three-hour visit to his 465-acre sanctuary in Mississippi, Brett Favre talks about life in retirement, his desire to reconnect with Green Bay fans, the physical toll 20 years in the NFL took on him, how he scratches his competitive itch, and life ahead. READ STORY

A look at the salaries for the 2014 Green Bay Packers, including contract information... 2014 Salaries
Relive the Packers' victory in Super Bowl XLV with our staff stories, photos, videos, memories and more.
As the coaches' video of the Green Bay-Philadelphia game rolled on, Larry McCarren finally took a pause in his breakdown of Corey Linsley. "There's no mystery to it," McCarren said in that familiar growl of his. "At the end of the day, the kid's a damn good player."(6)
Basics, five things to watch and views of the game for Packers vs. Vikings at noon Sunday in Minneapolis.(15)
A.J. Hawk turns 31 in January. He's hoping to continue being a productive player for the Packers.(20)
Upsets continue to be the theme this season and the last three weeks have provided irrational results that must be driving bettors crazy.
Offensive line ranks right behind quarterback as the position group where the Packers can least afford an injury.(10)
From Super Bowl back-up to failing to land a starting spot at Seattle, Oakland and Buffalo, back to Green Bay as back-up keeping an Aaron Rodgers-less team afloat, it's been a journey for Matt Flynn. He opens up about his NFL path with the Journal Sentinel's Tyler Dunne.(6)
A close review of game tape showed a host of Eagles players slipping a multitude of times as they tried to keep their feet on a less-than-ideal DD GrassMaster surface at Lambeau Field.(12)
The origin of Micah Hyde, utility man, can be traced to Fostoria, Ohio. Barking audibles. Making split-second decisions. Running the spread offense as quarterback.(13)
Through 10 games, the 2014 Green Bay Packers rookie class has exactly the same number of starts as its predecessor.
The Packers have one of the quickest-starting offenses, and it has everything to do with the Aaron Rodgers-led passing game.(20)
Beat writer Tyler Dunne answered your questions about the Packers in a Thursday morning chat.
This has been a historic season for rookie wide receivers in the NFL, and Davante Adams isn't lagging behind.(1)
Aaron Rodgers, who has worked hard on shaping his body, said Eddie Lacy might be looking to drop weight.(5)
In their latest weekly podcast, Tyler Dunne and Bob McGinn discuss Green Bay's blowout win over Philadelphia, Aaron Rodgers' nutrition habits and avoidance of interceptions, Julius Peppers' leadership, Green Bay's special teams units and the upcoming game against Minnesota.
By tweaking a few health and wellness habits in the last year, the Packers star says he feels so good he thinks he can play well into his late 30s and even his 40s.(100)
Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater stood on the sideline in rain gear with a minor ankle injury seven weeks ago when the Green Bay Packers crushed his Minnesota Vikings, 42-10, at Lambeau Field.(27)
The Green Bay Packers have their share of dynamic wide receiver duos through the years. But what's going on today is unlike anything the Packers have seen during their 94 NFL seasons.(6)
Tramon Williams has enjoyed an endless string of magical moments during his eight years in Green Bay. But Williams has never experienced anything like what's happening inside Lambeau Field right now.(1)
This week, Packer Plus reviews five of the most memorable contests between the Packers and Vikings at Metropolitan Stadium.(2)
In blowout victories the past two weeks over the Eagles and Bears at Lambeau Field, Micah Hyde has made big plays in the first 13 minutes of both games — helping the Packers get off to a fast start and delivering a gut punch to the opponent's psyche.
The Packers are a different beast at home this 2014 season, right when the weather is beginning to turn. The focus for the Packers now should be simple: Get these games in January.(24)
As the Green Bay Packers move toward the final six games of the schedule, defensive coordinator Dom Capers and his staff will need to deal with being caught on video.(100)
The league informed the Minnesota Vikings running back that he will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15 for violating the NFL personal conduct policy.(55)
Football weather, make that Packers weather, has arrived, and with it two straight opponents had no chance the past two Sundays at Lambeau Field.(33)
The wintry conditions will only worsen. Green Bay Packers special teams coach Shawn Slocum realizes a 53-20 win shouldn't cloud the reality that his units had problems Sunday.(1)
The Packers still must prove they can beat the top teams on the road, however, they certainly have the look of invincibility at Lambeau Field, which was their gateway to the Super Bowl in 1996 and 2010.(136)
Not since they were in the heart of their 29-game home winning streaking during the mid-1990s have the Green Bay Packers had a Lambeau Field run like this one.(2)
Considering the caliber of opposition, the Green Bay Packers' special teams haven't had a first quarter in years like the one they had Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lambeau Field.(3)
One hand at his chin, one in his pocket, Julius Peppers thought about the latest question about his age for a brief moment.(12)
It is no coincidence that in five of the Packers seven victories this season, Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson has made big catches early.
It's getting to the point where Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy is going to have to find new ways to challenge quarterback Aaron Rodgers.(5)
Beat writer Tyler Dunne answers your Packers-Eagles questions after the game Sunday night.
Player of the Game; Missing in Action; What If; In Case You Missed it; Up Next
Recaps, box scores from Week 11 games
Amid all the phenomenal throws, extended plays and shrewd management of the game at the line of scrimmage, probably not enough attention has been paid to Aaron Rodgers' avoidance of interceptions.(39)
Mass youth has its benefits. Drafting and developing, the Packers have proved, sustains a contender. Yet a voice of reason — a Canton-worthy voice — sustains an edge.(16)
Join former Packers All-Pro safety LeRoy Butler for two regular video series this season. Each week, he and Journal Sentinel reporter Tom Silverstein break down the previous game and look ahead to the next in "5 Questions" and "X's and O's."

A little about me...
I'm an active guy who enjoys God's great outdoors. Guess I'm Looking for a soul-mate and best friend... that would be perfect... (but who's perfect?) Lived in Hawaii, Colorado and Indianapolis before recently moving back to Colorado... (are you free to travel?) Although, almost any place would be great with the right person!
Have been divorced for nearly 14 years… (and no relationship for about 7 years... wow, time flies!). Guess we just haven't crossed paths yet… although I feel the time is right to get to know that special person… and ideally, to share lots of activities and quality time together… creating our own magical moments to remember!
About the one I'm looking for...
I believe a special connection ("chemistry") is imperative for a romantic relationship... not only a physical connection, but also an intellectual and spiritual "turn on"… in order to truly share our lives with each other, and above all, sharing our Christian faith. All the rest of the good stuff will just naturally come, as the result of our relationship with the Lord… love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control… laughter, genuine respect for one another, being best friends, passion, romance, intimacy of the heart and soul and mind, etc.
I'd just like to add...
The best is yet to come!

that Carrara derives from the Celtic name for quarry?
It is also the name of one of the best-known types of marble in the world and has been mined in Italy since the time of the Romans. Michelangelo and many other artists took their marble blocks from here. Carrara marble has been used to build the cathedral in Florence, St Peter's in Rome, the World Trade Center in New York and the casinos of Las Vegas. In the "Museum of Marble", visitors can get interesting insights into the history and processing of marble, and also take part in guided tours through the quarry.

I have discovered another weakness in the current implementation of
display lists. It shouldn't affect anyone at Atlantis (yet :)) but it
probably will.
When any ogrfs tool is drawn at an offset (i.e. label), the offset is
specified in pixels. gvshapeslayer converts the current point (in
geographic coordinates) to pixel coordinates, applies the offset and
converts back to determine where to draw the tool. This works (or
worked) fine when the locations were calculated on every draw. However,
when using the current display list implementation, the offset gets
bigger or smaller as you zoom in/out, which is not the desired effect.
Note this only affects you if you use offsets, not if you display at
the exact location of the point.
That's the problem. I see some possible solutions, perhaps there are
some I haven't considered. Feedback on my or other solutions would be
1. discard the display lists. This is undesirable since display lists
should result in at least some performance benefit on most platforms.
2. invalidate the display list if a zoom happens. This is undesirable
since the benefit of the display list would be lost.
3. draw some things outside of the display list. This would involve a
post-draw cache that would get executed separately from the display list.
4. break down the rendering into many smaller display lists and don't
put things with offsets in a display list.
5. it is not possible to change a display list once created. However,
it is possible to nest display lists. We could nest display lists for
labels and symbols, and re-create them if a zoom happens. As long as
you use the same name (number) then it works as if you had a mutable
display list (at least, according to my book ;) )
I think the best solution would be to implement option 5 above. This
might involve some juggling, but essentially a flag would be set when
the view-state-changed signal is emitted. When the layer is re-drawn,
it would detect that the view-state-changed flag was set and would
re-draw any symbols or labels that were in their own display lists.
Then the display list for the layer could be executed as a whole.

Mariners president Chuck Armstrong told CBSSports.com that the team, led by general manager Jack Zduriencik, is still setting its course for free agency.
"We are going to have more money to spend," Armstrong said. "And we do need offense."
The Mariners ranked at the bottom of the American league this past season in numerous hitting categories, including battling average, total bases and runs.
Armstrong said Zduriencik "hasn't given me a proposal yet, so I can't gauge our level of interest yet" on Hamilton.
Hamilton hit .285 with 43 homers and 128 RBI in 148 games last season, his fifth with Texas.

Additional Information
Weapon7 selects Robinson for partner role
Weapon7 has hired Anomaly's Matthew Robinson as its managing partner.
Robinson: leaves Anomaly
Robinson, the head of business development at Anomaly, will report to the chief executive of the Omnicom-owned Weapon7, Adam Graham. The pair had previously worked together at the Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R shop Saint.
In his new position, Robinson will be responsible for leading Weapon7's new-business function, as well as managing the agency alongside Graham.
Robinson has been the head of business development at Anomaly since 2010 and oversaw account management and new business.
Before that, he was a board director at RKCR/Y&R, heading up the Lloyds account across the main agency as well as Saint.
Robinson started his career at Saatchi & Saatchi, where he led new business and account management at Team Saatchi, among other roles.
Graham said: "In hiring Matthew, we're reuniting a very effective management team, with a proven track record of helping clients develop their brands. Weapon7 are enjoying a strong end to the year with several new-business wins, so look set for big things in 2013."
Weapon7 was realigned into Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO in September last year. Graham now reports directly to the group chairman and chief executive, Cilla Snowball.
