FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 6, 2007
With Traffic And Wait-Times Likely To Worsen At NYs Border Crossings In 2008, Schumer Pushes Comprehensive Investigation Into Border Staffing Levels
Drivers at NYS Border Crossings Regularly Face Multi-Mile Backups, Waiting 2-3 Hours for Customs Processing to Cross Into the U.S. From Canada
With the Implementation of WHTI Rules Set to Begin in January 2008, Longer Waits are Expected at the Border, Threatening Cross-Border Commerce, Businesses in NYS Border Communities, and Regional Tourism
Schumer's Bill Will Assess Traffic Patterns at the Border, Wait Times, CBP Staffing Levels and the Economic Impact on NYS Border Communities Caused by Border Traffic
With New Yorkers regularly experiencing hours-long waits at Upstate NY border crossings, which are only expected to grow worse with the implementation of stricter border crossing rules in January 2008, today U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer introduced a bill that will institute comprehensive studies on the causes and effects of traffic at New York State's border crossings. Schumer is concerned that serious traffic congestions at border crossings are harming local businesses in NYS border communities and hampering the ability of tourists to move between the U.S. and Canada. Schumer also expressed concern that a lack of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents at border crossings is contributing to the traffic jams and long waits.
The congestion at the borders is only expected to grow worse with the start of implementation of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), which will require land passengers to show a passport when crossing the Northern border. As the first step of WHTI implementation, CBP has pledged to stop accepting oral declarations of citizenship and to begin demanding documents proving citizenship (such as a birth certificate) at the border starting on January 31, 2008.
Schumer today introduced his bill, the Border Wait Times Study Act, which will examine the following issues at the country's border crossings: traffic patterns, wait times, and how CBP staffing levels are affecting wait times. In addition, Schumer's bill will assess whether and how long waits at the borders are economically hurting New York State's border communities.
"It's high time that we get a crystal clear picture of what is causing these huge delays at New York State's border crossings, which have the potential to both jeopardize cross-border commerce and stifle regional tourism," said Senator Schumer. "New Yorkers are all too familiar with the frustration that comes with sitting in your car for hours during family vacations or even shopping trips, waiting to cross the border. These comprehensive studies will pinpoint the necessary steps we need to take to ensure that in the future New Yorkers can quickly and safely cross the border."
In recent months, border waits have grown longer due to CBP agents stepping up border inspections in anticipation of new rules scheduled to take effect in January that will require Americans to show a passport or other proof of citizenship and identity to enter the United States.
Schumer today noted that there is also concern that inadequate staffing levels at inspection booths at the state's border crossings has led to waits of up to two or three hours during peak travel periods. During holidays, additional post-9/11 security measures have led to even longer waits; for example, during the 4th of July weekend this year, some drivers reported waiting up to five hours to cross the bridge. The problem begins early in the morning during the 6am to 9am rush hour.
Schumer also noted that border congestion hinders business in border communities across the state. The United States and Canada have the largest bi-national trade relationship in the world. Trade with Canada supports an estimated 350,000 jobs in New York alone. Fully 25% of all New York State exports, accounting for $10.5 billion, go to Canada every year. The impact of tourism and spur-of-the-moment trips is also staggering, with Canadians accounting for 2.2 million visits to New York in 2002 and injecting $389 million into the local economies.
Schumer, who has led the charge to ensure a safe, secure and efficient flow of traffic at New York State's border crossings, said that increased staffing would help to move cars and trucks more quickly through the inspection station and would alleviate some of the gridlock. In the past, Schumer has sent letters to the Customs Commissioner urging him to increase staff levels at the stations, especially during the morning rush hour between 6am and 9am, and to better plan the deployment of staff at the inspection booths. "The delays, backups and waiting times have become more than just an inconvenience – it is now interfering with local commerce and safety," Schumer wrote. "I urge Customs to increase staffing during peak commuter traffic hours as soon as possible."
Schumer's bill, the Border Wait Times Study Act, will require the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Commerce to submit reports to Congress on the commercial and passenger vehicle traffic at points of entry across the nation and New York State.
The study will investigate four issues:
• Traffic patterns of commercial and passenger vehicles at international land ports of entry along the northern and southern borders of the United States;
• Volume and wait times of commercial and passenger vehicles entering and exiting the United States as land ports of entry since the year 2000;
• The effect of staffing levels on wait times at land points of entry since the year 2000; and
• The impact that border traffic, wait times and staff levels have had on the economic health of border communities across the country.
The Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Commerce, in conjunction with the Secretary of Homeland Security, will be responsible for conducting the studies.
Schumer has raised serious concerns that DHS is moving too quickly to implement new passport rules and has urged DHS to give NY State enough time to make new enhanced drivers' licenses available to citizens for border crossings.

The Dorothy Project
"Not only is she beautiful as boats go with her fine lines, but she is also a fine sailing boat, fast for her size, gentle to handle, and extremely seaworthy. And she is a lucky boat, too, in that her owners have always, somehow, managed to maintain her, repair her, and restore her in such a way that she is now fully restored, still sailing, and still looking beautiful."
– H.C. Charlesworth (Former Owner), Dorothy I, A Sailor's Legacy.
Dorothy experienced 11 owners in her life before her donation to the Maritime Museum of B.C. in 1995. Under the auspices of the MMBC, she sailed proudly until February 2003 when she was taken out of the water in February 2003 and put into storage.
For nine years she stayed dry-docked at the SALTS tallship society. Hard decisions had to be made about her care. The Museum was rapidly being drained of the legacy fund to storage fees, but a full restoration was extremely expensive and they were unlikely to find someone to do it for what they could afford. Dorothy waited.

A Little Body Sculpting to an Old Girl
by guest blogger Ian McMurdo
A Fraser River Gillnetter built at Albion Boatworks in 1962. Originally gas-powered, converted to Perkins diesel 6-354 in the mid 80's along with other technological goodies of the time such as Wagner hydraulic steering and autopilot. A friend (former boss of mine) bought her from a retired fisherman about 15 years ago with the idea that converting this boat for pleasure use would be his retirement project. He had built a 22′ cold molded sport fisher in the past. When I worked for him about 10 years ago we did some work on this boat and his sport-fisher at that time. I had to quit to go back to university, but we remained friends and four years later when I graduated and moved back to Vancouver he offered me half the boat in exchange for helping him to "finish" the project.
Lady With Good Bones Seeking Gentle Hands

Robert and Margaret Lawson (Ladysmith, BC) of Brisen Boatworks donated this HMCS Rainbow Skiff to the Ladysmith Maritime Society (LMS) in 2010. She entered retirement through public auction in 1929, and since then has languished as a lady of leisure – enjoying recreational ownership until 1977.
At that point, Barry Philbrook took her over until passing her onto Robert and Margaret in 1999; having never fulfilled his dream of restoration. As an aside, Barry built our treasured 35' Ed Monk Sr. cruiser as a custom runabout for Owen Fowler; a means of commuting between Sidney and the Tortoise Islets (off Portland Island). We are told this was Barry's 3rd boat while still under apprenticeship; built at Philbrook's & Son Boatyard (Victoria, BC) in 1957.
For the next 11 years, between Robert and John Rodd, much work was accomplished on the Rainbow Skiff; both archival information and actual restoration. She was donated to the LMS in hope that restoration could find completion.
She is still waiting for her final make-over; task list available. Person(s) with skill needed!!
Here's the story. Enjoy the read.
Ove Nielsen's Ship Model
Ove Nielsen (Jan & Lars' Dad) is a master ship model builder. Here he shows us his M/V. Falcon Rock.
In Ove's words:
The name of the Ship is " M/V. Falcon Rock " 1/2 " scale, its about 25″ long, it is a Fisheries Patrol boat anno 1960, it is in private owner ship for the past 12 years and it is at the moment down in Cowichan Bay. It took about 400 Hrs to make, so I was burning the candle in both ends.

If you compare between Crossfit and walking, obviously the former gets more attention. Walking may never be a favorite activity. And it will never come as close as Ironman races. However, many fitness professionals believe that walking is a lot better than any kind of workouts.
Many people don't really exercise as it requires a lot of effort. Walking is easier as it is something you can do everyday.
Do you sit most of the times the whole day? You tend to believe that one hour of workout can counter the 10 hours of sedentary activity. Then you are wrong.
Based on a study by the University of Texas School of Public Health, marathoners train 6.5 hours per week on average. The interesting part is that their daily sitting duration is between 8 and 10.75 hours.
Punishing yourself at the gym for hours is not the only way to make you fit. If you are sitting a lot, then do some walking as it can reverse the effects of lengthened sitting especially the affected arteries in the legs.
You can start walking 3 miles per hour. Increase to 4 miles per hour for more challenging walk.
A recent walking guideline proposes 10,000 steps a day. If it is too much for you, forget it. A minimum of 150 minutes of activity every week is highly recommended.
Walking can be great but it does not give your body everything it needs. For example, for bone strengthening, running is better. If you want more strength, choose weight training.
Your body needs movement just like it needs nutrients every day. There is nothing better than walking at this moment.

Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather will appeal his two-game suspension that the NFL levied for his latest helmet-to-helmet blow, a hit his coach called a "legitimate football play."
The NFL's statement on the hit Saturday at Baltimore, when officials ruled Meriweather hit Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith "with forcible contact to the head and neck area ... on a pass play" cited no attempt to make a form tackle or wrap up the offensive player.
Redskins head coach Jay Gruden is hoping that the league will reduce or revoke the penalty.
"Unfortunately, for Brandon, he's got a history of these types of events," Gruden told reporters. This is the sixth time Meriweather has been cited for a violation of player safety rules.
"Whether or not it was significant enough to warrant a suspension is what they decided. ... He tried to lower his target, I thought. I thought it was a legitimate football play, but the NFL didn't see it that way."
The Redskins contend that Meriweather could not avoid a helmet-to-helmet hit has both he and Smith lowered their heads as a pass sailed incomplete across the middle.
Smith said via Twitter that he does not think Meriweather should be suspended. He did add his feeling might be different if he had been injured on the play.
The league suspended Meriweather for two games last season for helmet-first hits. After an appeal, that suspension was reduced to one game.

Albert is today's diary pick, but he is very sick and needs purrs. You can visit him here: http://www.catster.com/cats/1049228
Today is my birthday/gotcha day. I am fifteen years old or thereabouts. The past six months haven't been so great. I was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid for which I received Radiocat treatment in January. Then in March, I started with tummy troubles. It sure is tough getting old. One day you feel fine, but the next you feel ... old. But ten years ... wow! I remember when Mom came to the Center. I was feeling kinda down. It was good to be off the street, but I was stuck with a bunch of strange cats in an unfamiliar place. When Mom came to the shelter, she found me sitting in my litter box in my 'space.' I wasn't exactly thrilled to meet her, but she took me with her anyway. She snagged AnnaDee too, and off I went to my new life in my furever home. I took my good old time getting acclimated, but Mom was okay with that. I wouldn't even sleep in the room with her, and I feel bad because she told me it made her sad. But she waited, and now I sleep with her every night.
It's good to be active again on Catster (sort of). Mom is really busy with work and school, so she can't always help me out here. That's why I have been unresponsive, but I want to thank my friends who have sent the POP and birthday greetings. We'll be celebrating tomorrow. I don't know what to tell Mom to get me for my special treat. Chicken? Fish? I don't know. I'm very finicky these days. I'll have to see how the spirit moves me tomorrow.
I want to thank all our friends for rosies and messages that have been sent to all of us. We haven't been able to get on much what with site troubles and Mom being totally overwhelmed with her last final exam for awhile.
I haven't been feeling good. I've had varying symptoms and been dragged to the vet about five times in six weeks. This week I have to go to a specialist. It's the same trip Rafiki used to have to make. He hated it, and now I have to make that trip. Mom hates it too. It is all bad memories. Other kitties go there and get healed, but for us it seems to be doom. I'm scared.
So, Friday and Saturday, I ate and Mom was happy. Today started slow, but now I am getting hungry. Mom has been making home made food, but today I wanted some crunchy food. Mom said I can have anything I will eat (almost).
Can anycat tell us if there is a way to send a rosie to all of our friends at once? Thanks for any help.

The Spokane County Sheriff's Office and Spokane Valley Police Department traffic units handled calls inside the city of Spokane this morning while police department employees attended the funeral of an officer who died of leukemia.
Aaron S. Douglas, 38, was hired as a police officer with the city of Spokane in 1993. He worked full-time until July.
He started volunteering at 14 and worked his way onto the SWAT team as a sniper and medic. He also served on the meth team, the dignitary protection team, the tactical team and was a neighborhood resource officer before spending the last six years on the bomb squad.
"Aaron loved his job as an officer, always giving 110 percent in whatever he did," according to his obituary.
He was described as a man with a "warrior mentality" in his battle with cancer who enjoyed hunting and fishing, riding his motorcycle, playing with his dogs and spending time with his wife and friends.
Douglas was born in Spokane and graduated from North Central High School in 1989. He died Monday at his home in Deer Park with his wife, Spokane police officer Traci Douglas, and friends by his side, according to his obituary.
"He gave most of his life to this community and SPD," said Spokane police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer DeRuwe in an e-mail.
The sheriff's office and Valley police handled all priority one and two calls during the 10 a.m. funeral, said Sgt. Dave Reagan.
"Regular sheriff's and Spokane Valley patrol units will pitch in as needed, depending on call loads in our jurisdictions," Reagan said in an e-mail. "We share their sense of loss."

Rhinos 6, Renegades 1: El Paso Dominates in Series Opener [PHOTO]
(RIO RANCHO, NM) -- Though the New Mexico Renegades are playing for the playoff lives, the El Paso Rhinos outshot their hosts, 53-24, and dominated throughout for a 6-1 win Friday night. Listen to Saturday's and Sunday's games on 600 ESPN El Paso.

It lived up to the billing, going to the ninth frame of a shootout before Taylor Barger scored on a top-shelf wrister to win it for El Paso.

Call it a blind date that turned into a 16-year relationship spanning Acts II and III of hockey in the high desert. I wasn't around for Act I in the 1970's (Paul Zimmerman's excellent attached video on El Paso's hockey history shows a little of that). Like most of us here, I didn't know hockey from jalapeños; but I wouldn't trade my experiences calling the fastest game on earth for anything.

You can listen to the action on 600 ESPN El Paso, but it's even better in person, especially when the Rhinos' team captain, Mike Rivera, is from right here in El Paso. It also helps that Mike is pretty good, too, as you can see.

Why risk yourself when you can fight via proxy?
Caption: No extra lives in real life makes the whole thing Nintendo Hard. The Chessmaster loves using others as pawns to fight their adversaries, even if they do occasionally deign to use themselves in the battle. However, some settings allow characters to apply their fighting skill on an opponent without ever risking their body. This Proxy Fighting may be thanks to giant robots with remote control (being in the cockpit of your own robot still carries a lot of risk), controlling people via Psychic Powers, magic or technology, or the relatively "mundane" use of VR. If institutionalized as a competitive sport of some kind, the safety of/to the player will be touted as a selling point. Except it's probably not. If the proxy uses an Unusual User Interface like brain jacks, then theres probably going to be nasty feedback from damage, possibly fatal if Your Mind Makes It Real (and any inhibitors have been sabotaged). If the proxy's are humans or alive, you also have the fairly obvious ethical dilemma of using People Puppets to fight your battles. Even if there's no more threat to the player than modern day videogames, the sheer immersion may lead to psychological problems regardless of physical safety. Tele controlled robot bodies are nice, but if your real soldiers are ordered to kill real civilians no amount of distance will help. Related tropes include: Demonic Possession, People Puppets, Puppeteer Parasite, Meat Puppet, Living Doll Collector.

The way it works is bowlers play for a set amount of time and all the money goes to the organization.
Big Brothers and Big Sisters is a mentoring program. Resource Development Director Lindsey Douglas says, it's wonderful to see such a great turn out.
"We are excited for what's happening. We know that the economy hasn't totally turned around and we still see hundreds of individuals willing to give their time and support for local charities,"said Douglas.
The group raised more than $70,000.All the money goes right back into the program.

FORT WORTH — After seven days of preliminary competition, the field of 30 performers in the 14th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition was narrowed to 12 semifinalists Thursday night at Bass Hall.They are:• Nikita Abrosimov, 24, Russia• Sean Chen, 24, United States• Alexey Chernov, 30, Russia• Alessandro Deljavan, 26, Italy• Fei-Fei Dong, 22, China• Jayson Gillham, 26, Australia/United Kingdom• Claire Huangci, 23, United States• Vadym Kholodenko, 26, Ukraine• Nikolay Khozyainov, 20, Russia• Nikita Mndoyants, 24, Russia• Beatrice Rana, 20, Italy• Tomoki Sakata, 19, JapanThe group has four Russians, including Nikita Mndoyants, whose father, Alexander Mndoyants, placed fifth in the 1977 Cliburn competition.He said his father was probably listening to the announcement in Moscow."I think that he is also glad, and maybe a little proud," he said.Another Russian, Nikita Abrosimov, had been an alternate until just weeks before the competition, when a competitor dropped out and he was invited to Fort Worth.Other notable semifinalists include Alessandro Deljavan, the only pianist returning from the 2009 competition, and Tomoki Sakata, the Cliburn's youngest competitor."It's a relief, but I'm also nervous because the next stage starts just a day after tomorrow," Sakata said. On being the youngest competitor, he said: "If you are one of the semifinal stage, there is no difference between the youngest and the oldest. We all have a responsibility to do our best on the stage."Deljavan made it to the semifinals in 2009 and was praised for his chamber music performance.The dramatic facial expressions he makes while playing, broadcast on the big screen inside Bass Hall and on the competition webcast, have been the subject of much talk among critics, social media followers and audience members this year."I have to say, I thought I did play very well, especially in my second preliminary round, after perhaps being too emotional in my playing during the first round," he said. "Four years ago, I was the funny one in the competition. This time around, I'm probably more relaxed. That comes with more experience."But now the pieces must be better."Fellow Italian Beatrice Rana, who earned early critical praise in the preliminaries, said she felt nervous before the announcement Thursday and continued to be nervous when she heard her name called."I thought maybe it was a hallucination, I don't know," she said. "I'm really glad to be one of the 12. Now I hope I deserve what they thought of me."Of the seven Americans who started the competition, only two — Claire Huangci and Sean Chen — made it to the semifinals."Basically I just need to practice," Chen said of how he'll spend the time before his next performance.Before calling the semifinalists to the stage, Cliburn jury chairman John Giordano briefly remembered Van Cliburn, who died in February."A tall man, about 6-foot-4, used to always stand next to me, offstage, before these ceremonies would begin, and he would always ask me before we walked out: 'Did they do a good job?'" he said, his voice cracking. "I know he's with us tonight."The preliminary round began May 24, and in a change of format this year, each of the 30 competitors was required to play two 45-minute solo recitals.The semifinal round begins Saturday afternoon. Each competitor will perform one 60-minute solo recital and one piano quintet with the Brentano String Quartet. The six finalists will be announced late Tuesday.Thursday was a bittersweet night for the pianists, their fans and their host families, as the announcement that 12 of the 30 were advancing meant that 18 were going home."To tell you the truth, I'm most upset that my friends [Alessandro] Taverna and especially Francois Dumont didn't make it," Deljavan said. "Understand that he is a very big artist, one of my favorite friends. I honestly don't know what to say for why he didn't make it because I feel so respectful of his musicianship."Though the pianists, representing 13 countries, have competed onstage for almost a week, many came into the Cliburn as friends.Some go to the same school or study with the same teacher; others know one another from competitions around the world."I'm really happy to be one of the 12, but a lot of my friends who I thought should have gotten through didn't," Chen said.Other advancing competitors echoed that sentiment."I feel fine but I also feel sad for the others who weren't chosen, as so many of whom are my friends," China's Fei-Fei Dong said.Fellow semifinalist Gillham added: "I've got some mixed emotions because it's genuinely sad to see the others who didn't get chosen. So it's kind of an odd moment for me right now, as I've listened to so many of the others play. And to have even two members of the jury even agree on us as being the final 12, I just didn't picture this happening like this because, honestly, everyone is so, so great."The 18 competitors who didn't advance will receive $1,000 from the Cliburn and will get a chance to play in a "Piano Lunch" recital, which is free and open to the public, on Thursday in McDavid Studio. Some will leave Fort Worth before then."Of course, I have a sad feeling, but the rules of the competition are the rules, and we must accept them," Taverna said. "But it was a wonderful special adventure to come to Texas, to play in Van Cliburn's space at the Cliburn." Staff writer Tim Madigan and correspondent Andrew Marton contributed to this report.

text: Climate Change Worse Than Nuclear War, Mass Murder Or Anything, Really, Claims Guardian Author Unhysterically Print article Send a Tip by James Delingpole 7 Apr 2014 post a comment Climate change is a form of "extreme, horrific, longterm, widespread violence" akin to mass murder or nuclear war, claims American writer and cultural historian Rebecca Solnit in the Guardian's Environment pages. Ms Solnit - "the author of numerous books about art, landscape, public and collective life, ecology, politics, hope, meandering, reverie and memory" - argues that "carbon barons" like ExxonMobil are in the same league as nuclear powers which hold the option of "destroying quite a lot of life on Earth." In every arena, we need to look at industrial-scale and systemic violence, not just the hands-on violence of the less powerful. When it comes to climate change, this is particularly true. Exxon has decided to bet that we can't make the corporation keep its reserves in the ground, and the company is reassuring its investors that it will continue to profit off the rapid, violent and intentional destruction of the Earth. That's a tired phrase, the destruction of the Earth, but translate it into the face of a starving child and a barren field – and then multiply that a few million times. Or just picture the tiny bivalves: scallops, oysters, Arctic sea snails that can't form shells in acidifying oceans right now. Or another superstorm tearing apart another city. Climate change is global-scale violence, against places and species as well as against human beings. Once we call it by name, we can start having a real conversation about our priorities and values. Because the revolt against brutality begins with a revolt against the language that hides that brutality. Yes! The bivalves! Think of those tiny bivalves and weep at the thought that very soon, perhaps sooner than we realise, man will never know the joy of oysters Rockefeller or Coquilles St Jacques meuniere or even Moules Mariniere ever again.

Brandon James Routh (born October 9, 1979) is an American actor and former fashion model. He grew up in Iowa before moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, and subsequently appeared on multiple television series throughout the early 2000s. In 2006, he gained greater recognition for his role as the titular superhero of the 2006 film Superman Returns. He also had a recurring role in the TV series Chuck, as Daniel Shaw. Following this, he had notable supporting roles in the films Zack and Miri Make a Porno and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. In 2010, he portrayed the eponymous protagonist of another comic book film, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night.
Routh, the third of four children, was born in Norwalk, Iowa, on October 9, 1979, the son of Catherine LaVonne (née Lear), a teacher, and Ronald Wayne Routh, a carpenter.[1][2] Routh's family, which is Methodist,[3] has German, French, English, and Native American ancestry[4] (Routh has stated "I'm Chickapoo, watered down quite a bit, on my father's side").[5] Routh grew up in Norwalk, approximately 100 miles (160 km) south of Woolstock, the hometown of George Reeves, the first actor to play Superman on television.[1] During his childhood, Routh thought a full-time acting career was unrealistic, citing his small-town background.[1] In his spare time, he played the trumpet and the piano.[1] Routh attended Norwalk High School,[6] where he played sports and participated in music and theatre. He has described himself as a "momma's boy" and not "the most popular kid" during his school years.[7] Routh has also noted that during his younger years, he was fond of the Superman films and comic books.[8]
Routh attended the University of Iowa for a year, aspiring to be a writer.[1] During this time, he modelled and acted in order to earn his tuition fee.[1] Routh has said he was often told that he bore a physical resemblance to Christopher Reeve, who had previously portrayed Superman in a film series.[1] His former manager signed him on because of the resemblance, telling him that he thought Routh would be cast as Superman if there was another film in the series.[7]
In 1999, Routh left the University and moved to Manhattan and then Los Angeles, where he pursued a full-time acting career, first appearing as an extra in Christina Aguilera's music video for "What a Girl Wants".[6] He was cast in his first acting role in 1999, in an episode of the short-lived ABC television series, Odd Man Out. In 2000, he had a four-episode role on the third season of MTV's nighttime soap opera, Undressed. Routh subsequently appeared on the WB's Gilmore Girls (in a February 2001 episode, "Concert Interupptus", playing an attendee of a Bangles concert), and earned steady work on the soap opera One Life to Live, playing Seth Anderson from May 23, 2001 until April 17, 2002.
Prior to Routh's casting as Super man in the film Superman Returns, Warner Bros. had spent over a decade developing a plan to relaunch the franchise, with possible stars including name actors Nicolas Cage, Josh Hartnett, Brendan Fraser, Paul Walker, Henry Cavill, James Marsden, Ashton Kutcher, Keanu Reeves, Will Smith and James Caviezel[9] and planned directors including Tim Burton, Wolfgang Petersen, McG, Brett Ratner and Shekhar Kapur. When director Bryan Singer came aboard the project, however, he insisted an unknown actor be cast in the part, in the tradition of the casting of the best-known film Superman, Christopher Reeve.
Routh, then 24, had previously already auditioned for director McG[1] and was spotted by Singer after he viewed Routh's videotaped audition.[9] Singer, who since noted Routh as being the embodiment of "our collective memory of Superman,"[10] was impressed by his resemblance to the comic book icon and found the actor's humble Mid-western roots perfect for the role, as well as his "combination of vulnerability and confidence" Singer said reminded him of Christopher Reeve.[6] Singer decided to cast Routh after the two met on August 13, 2004, but did not tell Routh until two months later, when Routh's casting was announced in October 2004,[9] making him an "instant celebrity".[1] Before filming began, Routh bulked up for the role, gaining 22 pounds to reach a high of 218 pounds. Filming for Superman Returns began in Sydney in February 2005. The film was released in the U.S. on June 28, 2006 and impressed critics, but was a box-office disappointment, grossing only $200 million in the US compared to its estimated budget of $270 million.[11] Routh was signed on to appear in two potential sequels to the film, but due to low box office results it never happened.
Routh has commented he feared his performance would too closely resemble that of Christopher Reeve. Routh has said that he hopes to "remind people of Christopher while at the same time making them feel like they're seeing a totally new Superman."[12] Reviews of Routh's performance were generally positive, with Newsweek noting he "effortlessly lays claim to the iconic role."[13] On the other hand, film critic Roger Ebert noted that he thinks "Routh lacks charisma as Superman, and I suppose as Clark Kent, he isn't supposed to have any."[14]
At the 2006 Spike TV Awards, Routh won the award of "Best Superhero" as Superman in Superman Returns, beating out among others, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
In August 2008, Warner Bros. officially announced they intended to reboot the Superman franchise. Routh was still set to reprise the role, according to DC Comics president Paul Levitz. In 2009, however, Routh's contract to play Superman in another film expired, but he says he would like to return if given the chance.[15] However, British actor Henry Cavill was cast to play Superman in the reboot of the series, Man of Steel.
After the release of Superman Returns, Routh signed on to play CIA agent John Clark in Without Remorse under the direction of John Singleton with a screenplay by Stuart Beattie. Routh would be the third actor to portray the character after Willem Dafoe and Liev Schreiber. The film was intended for a late-2007/early-2008 release. However, Paramount Pictures recently put the film into turnaround. Routh's future participation on the project is unknown.
Routh appeared in the ensemble film Life is Hot in Cracktown and the independent drama Fling (formerly titled Lie to Me), co-starring his wife Courtney Ford.
Routh was signed to star in The Informers, a film based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel of the same name. He joins Kim Basinger, Amber Heard, and Billy Bob Thornton,[16] but his scenes ended up scrapped with the decision to excise the "vampire" subplot from the film entirely.[17]
At Comic Con 2008, it was revealed Routh was to have a cameo in the Kevin Smith comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno and would serve as a judge on Platinum Studios' 2008 Comic Book Challenge. In addition, he has a cameo where he plays himself in the Bollywood film Kambakkht Ishq.
In January 2009, Routh was officially cast to play Todd Ingram in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, based on the Scott Pilgrim series by Canadian artist Bryan Lee O'Malley. His character is an arrogant, narcissistic bass player who derives psychic powers from his vegan lifestyle, and is the third of the seven Evil Exes the title character must fight.
Routh plays Daniel Shaw in season 3 of spy series Chuck, in a recurring, supporting role. He again played this character in the shows fifth season.
He portrayed Dylan Dog in the 2011 film Dylan Dog - Dead of Night.[18] The movie is based on the Italian comic series created by Tiziano Sclavi.[19]
On February 22, 2012, it was announced that Routh had been cast in David Kohan and Max Mutchnick's (the creators of Will & Grace), new CBS half-hour, multicamera comedy pilot, Partners. He played Michael Urie's character's steady partner, alongside Lucy Davis and his Table for Three co-star Sophia Bush.[20]
In 2013, Routh voiced David "Hesh" Walker in the video game Call of Duty: Ghosts. Routh has since been signed up for appearance in Television, with one episode of The Millers and multiple episodes of Chosen and Enlisted in 2014.
On August 23, 2006, Brandon became engaged to his girlfriend of three years, actress Courtney Ford;[21] the couple married on November 24, 2007, at the El Capitan Ranch in Santa Barbara.[22] In March 2012, Routh and Ford announced that they were expecting their first child in the summer of 2012.[23] On August 10, 2012, the couple welcomed a son, Leo James.[24]
Routh knew actor Kal Penn, a co-star in Superman Returns, for several years during the time he lived in Los Angeles.[25] Routh and Penn were both also featured in The Lonely Island's Awesometown MTV pilot music video "The Avon Lady".
Routh's sister, Sara, has a musical track entitled "You're Never Gone" on Sound of Superman, the companion soundtrack of the film. Routh is a fan and player of the video game World of Warcraft.[26] During the 2008 Presidential Election, Routh spoke at an Iowa rally in support of Democratic candidate Barack Obama.[27]

Max Thieriot, Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore
The sun is sinking behind Bates Motel's Vancouver set as cameras prepare to shoot Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga) scaling the familiar stone steps leading up to her iconic hilltop home. Spying an approaching flock of crows, the director instructs Farmiga to "wait for the birds" to enter the frame before commencing her ascent. At this point, one half expects the silhouette of ...

With a repertoire including Merv Griffin, Steve McQueen, the Monkees and the Brady Bunch, Gene Trindl holds the record for shooting TV Guide Magazine covers — more than 200 of them! We went behind the lens with the late photographer's grandson, Skylar Schofield, who calls Trindl's impressive roster of cover images his "ultimate résumé."
Steve McQueen, Wanted: Dead or Alive, May 30, 1959"He never really watched too much television, because it was weird for him to see his subjects [as stars], even though that's what he was trying to capture," says Schofield of legendary Hollywood macho man Steve McQueen (posing on our cover for his hit Western Wanted: Dead or Alive). "He really respected people who were true craftsmen."

A&E has ordered a second season of freshman drama Bates Motel, the network announced Monday.
Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga
Like Norman Bates of Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller Psycho, the producers behind A&E's new drama series Bates Motel seem to be of two minds.A&E's prequel, which premieres Monday at 10/9c and stars Finding Neverland's Freddie Highmore as a teenage Norman Bates, seeks to tell audiences how a young man grows up to be a taxidermy-loving killer. The answer posited by Hitchcock's film is that Norman was driven insane by his overprotective mother ...

I Didn't Understand - Trigger WarningWe always acted like that. I thought that was just how he was. The flirting, the looks, I didn't think it was anything special. I'd had a little crush on him, but he was my teacher, what could he possibly want with me? So Social Studies wasn't my best class, but it was nothing a few study sessions after school couldn't fix. I usually did well in his class, but usually isn't always. So I stayed after. Just a little study date. As soon as the bell rang, people set off for the busses, their cars, or after school programs, while I walked to his room. When I arrived for our study session, I interrupted a little makeout session. I just watched them for a minute, I was curious. Then I knocked on the door and a student, a senior now I think, looked at me. I couldn't tell whether she was angry or relieved. I walked into the room and put my backpack beside my desk. Two hours with my favorite teacher couldn't be so bad. But it was. It was awful.
We chatted as usual, flirting and still working. He pulled up a chair and sat right next to me at the desk. I didn't take notice of it, it wasn't unusual. He pushed his chair closer to me. And closer. He whispered in my ear that I was beautiful, but he thought I'd look better WITHOUT my clothes. I blushed and just brushed it off. It wasn't like I'd never had a guy try to take me to bed before. He pushed a little bit of hair behind my ear and came a little closer. I moved away from him as he moved toward me. Stop, I told him, I don't want to do this. He told me to come sit with him, but his chair was only big enough for one person. I shook my head and tried to keep working. He literally picked me up, and threw me down onto his lap. I cringed and bit my lip only so I would not scream. He whispered in my ear again, he told me I was going to like what he was going to do. I was shaking my head and almost crying though nothing had happened yet. He started trying to unbutton the school-uniform shirt. I pushed his hands away; or tried to at least. At this point I was trying too hard against him, so he just put his entire arm on my neck until I was unconscious.
The sound of the school bell, for the last bus, woke me. I called my mom and asked her to come get me. When she asked what happened to me, I said I got in a fight with a couple of Bayview kids. When I got home the first thing I did was take a shower. I could see so many places, where he had bitten me, that were red, and I had bruises all over my ribs and arms. I didn't go to school the next day. Or the day after that. I was sick to my stomach, and I couldn't bare to see my friends. I just laid in bed for six days, crying. I wasn't hungry, or thirsty, or tired. But all I wanted to do was sleep. I told my mom I had the flu and I just stayed home all week. He asked me why I wasn't in school. I said I was sick.
I couldn't tell anyone. I still can't. They wouldn't believe me in a million years. Sure, I've never lied to the school, but he's a teacher, of course they would take his word over mine. I don't know what to do anymore. I've seen a counselor but I was afraid to tell them what happened. What should I do??
Darling , your afraid . Your thpughts must be poisoned with everything . I think you should tell the truth , you'll get through this . I've been raped and I'm still going through the pain . I hate that I'm staying quiet . . . Because the man who I trusted did this to me. . . He KNOWS I haven't told. . . Don't allow him to have control.
I am so sorry, from the bottom of my heart, that such a terrible thing happened to you. You are an innocent victim and NOBODY deserves something like that.
What to do: I advise that you contact the police as soon as possible. This is an issue for law enforcement, not for the school. You would absolutely be believable, especially if you have no record of dishonesty. In addition, the teacher might have a criminal record and/or a record of other girls/women complaining about him, which would also add to your credibility.
It is completely understandable if you are scared and reluctant to contact the police, but I think you should--doing so will help your healing, and it could prevent something similar from happening to other girls. Your teacher should be put in prison for what he did.
Good luck, and again, I am so sorry.
My sympathies for what happened to you. You should tell your mother about what happened to you otherwise there is no guarantee that your teacher won't try again. Sure you will say that you won't give him the opportunity, but look at it this way, you will be saving a lot more lives. Tell only your mother, I repeat your mother, not father. Fathers are usually hot-headed and might take the law into their own hands.
Well i may be 13 but i know the right thing to do is tell some one. This is no laghing mater and that bad man can go to jail. hope you tell some one

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up

Region: Heights
Young the Giant possesses songwriting wisdom and craft far beyond that of a band whose oldest member is only 22 years old. The California quintet is made up of guys who started playing music at a young age and have already amassed more indie-rock cred and mainstream clout than some players who have been at it twice as long. The band changed its name from the Jakes in 2009, the same year they won an online contest to open for Kings of Leon in Chicago, which did not hurt their fortunes at all. Young the Giant's quirky indie-rock rhythms, mixed with Sameer Gadhja's soulful lounge-singer croon, create moving and poignant ballads with just a hint of danceability. Just off a nationwide tour with Minus the Bear, Young the Giant is set to have a long, successful career, as long as the allure of going back to college doesn't get in the way.

third city of buffalo employee guilty of stealing thousands of dollars from parking meters
BUFFALO, N.Y.-- U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Francis Tronolone, 33, of Buffalo, N.Y., pleaded guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from the City of Buffalo, a Governmental agency which receives federal funding. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 or both.
"Today's developments mean that three different employees of the same City Department have now been convicted of collectively stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the residents of this area," said U.S. Attorney Hochul. "These crimes occurred day in and day out over many months and years. This Office will continue to pursue this investigation until all who may have abused their positions are identified and caught."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Maura K. O'Donnell, who is handling the case, stated that from November 2003 to the present, the defendant was employed as a coin collector and later a parking meter mechanic in the City of Buffalo Department of Parking Enforcement. In this capacity, Tronolone was responsible for collecting coins deposited into parking meters and repairing malfunctioning meters.
During the period of his employment, the defendant stole approximately $9,000 in coins from city parking meters, money that was supposed to be deposited into the city treasury. Some of the money was stolen from parking meters that had been rigged by other parking meter mechanics. Tronolone kept a small cooler in the back of his vehicle where he would conceal the stolen coins.
Tronolone is the third employee of the Department of Parking Enforcement to be convicted in this case. James Bagarozzo was convicted of stealing over $200,000 from Buffalo parking meters and sentenced to 30 months in prison on August 16, 2013. Bagarozzo was also ordered to pay $210,000 in restitution. Lawrence Charles has also been convicted of stealing over $10,000 from Buffalo parking meters and was sentenced to six months and prison and ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution. A fourth employee, Franklin Lopez, is charged also charged with stealing thousands of dollars from the City of Buffalo, a Governmental agency which receives federal funding. The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

School me on Trinidadian food, please!
I just moved back to NY (Brooklyn) and by lucky circumstances find myself walking distance to Ali's Trinidad Roti Shop.
It took one visit and I am totally addicted. The actual bread part of the roti is out of sight. The elasticity, the fragrance. So fantastic.
But I know almost nothing about Trinidadian food in general...it reminds me of Singaporean food because of the Indian influence.
Can someone give me an intro...and point me to their favorite Trinidadian goodies?
Thanks in advance!
You might get more replies to your general question on the general board. And definitely post on Outer Boroughs board for all the places in Brooklyn.
In manhattan I like the doubles available at Trini Paki Boys cart. Definitely get both tamarind and hot sauce. They also have bake & shark but I've never had it.
re: LNG212
@ LNG212 -- Thanks for the heads up. I think the moderators just moved this ;-)
re: chloehk
Good luck. Trini food is great. Be aware if you aren't already that Trini hot pepper sauce is really really hot! I also live shado beni (sp?) sauce but don't know where to recommend you get that since my sister makes it for us.
I went to ALI ROTI after finding DAVID BRISKET closed a minute before I arrived ... ALI was out of most things because this was just after the W.I. festival on NOSTRAND around labor day, so I didnt get to analyze too many items.
The ROTI I had was pretty good but frankly by fav item was the PEANUT PUNCH. AA DOUBLE SHOP right near there is also worth checking out ... ultra cheap.
Yeah, I can see what you are getting at with the SIN comparison.
During NYC site visits, I sometimes switch from the A to the C train there and in between run out and grab a snack. Although the first time, due to a miscommunication, I ended up walking from there to Grand Army Plaza with and 80lbs of stuff -- which sucked in the heat -- but I did find a number of interesting snacking places on the way.
The nearby A&A Bake & Doubles is also good for doubles. Be sure to get it with tamarind and pepper.
In fact, my usual order at Ali's is a "potato and channa roti with tamarind and pepper" (ordered just like that) -- the combo of the sweet/sour tamarind sauce and spicy scotch bonnet hot sauce is outstanding. (Channa is just chickpeas.)
Wash it down with a Peardrax (but avoid Cydrax unless you like carbonated apple vinegar).
Two big thumbs up on A&A Bake and Doubles.
Now, try this stuff:
-Curry goat roti "buss-up-shut" or regular roti.
-Aloo pie with channa.
-Saltfish bake.
-Hit it with the spicy sauces and wash down with a couple of Carib beers.
I like Ram's Roti...I think his new place is on Church near Nostrand. Take the 2 or 5 train to Church Avenue.
re: Mike R.
Mike R, is this the same Ram's Roti that used to be on Church near Flatbush? I loved that place, though the deafening bass thunp used to make me a little crazy as waited for my food. They made awesome rotis and their veggie dishes were excellent.
re: missmasala
It is indeed.
Just came across this posting, great info about the different foods as well as a shop in queens.
The website its from is pretty awesome in and of itself too
re: klyeoh
An even greater challenge would be to score some "manicou" or "cascadou" locally.
Great recommendations on this thread, I'm eager to try them out. My go-to place for doubles is De Hot Pot in Prospect Lefferts (1127 Washington, in the triangle where Washington and Flatbush converge). When I can, I wash them down with their outstanding housemade sorrel (they've been out a few times, forcing me to drink ginger beer instead). They also do roti (good but not as good as their doubles, in my opinion) and have a wide selection of various vegetable sides and stewy-type dishes. But I generally end up getting doubles, just because they're so good: I'm in a bit of a rut in that regard. Oh, and the people who run the place are extremely nice.
Another place to check out in the same neighborhood is Allan's Bakery,1109 Nostrand (at the corner of Maple). You can't miss it: you'll start smelling sugary, cinnamony baking smells a block away. I started out with their currant rolls, but then discovered coconut rolls, and there's been no going back. Both are strudel-type logs, generously sliced, and bulging with filling. In the case of the coconut roll, the filling is like coconut marzipan, with an almost floral flavor that keeps it from being cloying. (Warning: there is always a line, but it moves fast.)
I'd love to see more recs - one of my favorite dishes when I traveled to Trinidad and Tobago was buljol, shredded saltfish with peppers, onions and spices, served with bake for breakfast. Is that the same as the saltfish bake mentioned here? Any good Brooklyn spots for that?
re: linda313
Sure sounds like the bake at Ram's Roti that I remember. He also has a second fish item for the bakes.
I'm jumping on this a bit late and I'm literally about 2 years out of the loop, but here goes a few suggestions further afield (albeit accessible to you as you're not too far from the A train.)
- Singh's Roti Shop: One of the strongest roti places in Ozone Park, not far from the last stop on that section of the A train.
- Sylvie's Roti : Somewhat closer to the train than Singh's, but on the same side of the road. This place became my go-to before moving out of New York again.
Ozone Park and Richmond Hill have an immense range of Trini and Guyanese eateries, bakeries, bars, stores, etc. There's undoubtedly a lot to find here if you walk around and try some places (I haven't been in about 2 years so I'm not exactly the best source on this stuff.)
There's also an excellent Surinamese restaurant over there and Veggie Castle (roughly opp. the Surinamese place) is pretty good for Jamaican / Rasta veg food.
re: JFores
I'm a big Singh's fan, too. Their rotis and doubles are great. Not sure it's worth trekking all the way out there if you have Ali's and A&A close by, but Singh's is very good if you happen to be in the area. Think I tried Sylvie's once and preferred Singh's, but once is probably not enough to make an informed decision.
re: JFores
Warung Kario closed about a year ago, and its Javanese owners moved to Florida, according to the operator of the successor business, Caribbean Suriname Restaurant. The new lingua franca is Sranan Tongo, a creole language with West African roots that's also called Taki Taki. (As before, English works just fine; so does Dutch.) It's best to call ahead to confirm the hours when food will be at its freshest and most varied.
Dave Cook
re: DaveCook
Have you been back since your initial report?
Also, interesting to note that they have an "All You Can Eat" option for $10 http://caribbeansurinamerestaurant.com/
re: lambretta76
I've poked my head in a couple of times, but only at the tail end of a day's explorations. Next time, I'll try that the other way 'round.
Dave Cook
Go to Sonny's. Classes are during business hours. The girls who waitress can answer all your questions. The guys in the kitchen, or if there are gals, they too can answer all your questions about Trinidad food.
The best schools in this area of knowledge, are found with seating in the front, and a kitchen somewhere to the side or back.
Use Sonny's hot sauce...tell them much. Liberty Ave.
Sonny's Roti Shop, 118-06 LIBERTY AVENUE, Queens, NY 11419

We had a couple of cancellations this morning (Spring Break schedules are often challenging), so if you know someone who would like to read to Rusty, please have them contact the library. There's a really good chance we can get them an appointment for tomorrow afternoon.
See, she's waiting just for you!
