The Johnson's home is a spooky looking house with a park and playground on its grounds.
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo
Season one
It once belonged to Mr. Boo, and his ghost haunted it (in a nice way) after he died. Exaggerated rumors about him created the legend of BooBeard the pirate, a story that the Johnson's handyman exploited to create a fake ghost. (Ghost Who's Coming to Dinner)

This is a cool taupe shade with hints of gray and a little bit of brown. I thought it was going to show up darker than it is actually does, so I was a little disappointed that I couldn't use it as a dark contouring color on my crease. However, it does work wonderfully as an allover wash of color when you're going for a neutral eyes look. I personally have to use this in conjunction with another taupe eyeshadow because I find that this is a bit too cool-toned for me, which is why I don't hail this as my super special HG eyeshadow shade. But it does its job and its really cheap. I think the packaging looks cute (it's a tiny square-shaped pan with a clear plastic lid), but it is very lightweight and tends to move around whenever I try to dip my brush into it.

Wow how gorgeous, this color is perfect a taupe leaning more towards brown , very soft , highly pigmented and easily blended 100% worth the money.
I wear it over a MAC paint pot and it lasts all day ,will look to get more

My local Wal-Mart has been sold out of this forever! I picked this up and there was only one on the shelf. This color is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. I wore it the first time today with MAC black fluidline and it looks amazing on. Everyone has already described the color and the texture is amazing. I can't believe that was under $4 dollars. I did put my UDPP on before hand. Get this!

This shade is almost an exact dupe for Stila's long-discontinued Puck eyeshadow: kind of a slivery, browish taupe with a slight sheen. Even the texture is pretty close, and that says a lot given Stila's wonderfully soft shadows. The packaging could be better, but for about two dollars a pop, it's a fair trade-off.

I've been waiting for WnW to put out a taupe e/s in a single pan for awhile now, and oh, how they've delivered. This little guy is perfect. Nutty is a beautiful medium shimmery taupe shade. It's more on the brown side than grey. When on, it looks multi-dimensional to me. I love wearing it all over the lid, but I'm sure you could put it in the crease with a lighter lid color. These shadows are $2 apiece and they come in clear, flip-top pans. Unfortunately, they are square and obviously won't fit into MAC or ELF quads, but whatever. I highly recommend this shadow, especially if you are a neutrals kinda person. 5 stars!
I have been trying to find this e/s for awhile! It was always sold out, so strolling in my Walgreen's last week I stumbled upon this and picked it up! So pretty! I love WnW e/s and this new formulation they did is amazing. This shadow is a neutral shimmery taupey color with silvery undertones. I see some bronze in their too, but really depends on your skin tone, base you use, and lighting. It is a gorgeous neutral color. I love pairing this with WnW Fine Wink (which I think is discontinued now, boo). Also looks great on the lid and crease with Mac Mulch in the outer corner or the dupe in the WnW 6 shadow set in Vanity. Looks great by itself too. The pigmentation is fabulous and no fallout issues. It does have shimmer but I don't think it is OTT, it is subtle to give you a glow. And gotta love the WnW prices, $1.99, faboosh!
If you are neutral lover, this will def become a staple in your m/u bag!

Ive been eyeballing this since i first saw it but hesitated to pick it up since i have a lot of taupe e/s's already. I broke down & bought it today anyways. Its a really lovely e/s & very similar to UD YDK. So similar i might give it to my daughter since i own YDK already. I have to admit the texture is nicer than YDK,very impressive if you ask me. Wish they had more colors in the singles, id buy more if they did.
What a gorgeous color!!! I had heard good things avt the new WnW shadows and thought taupe was a good, safe color to try. Shimmery with no fallout, lasts all day over paint pot as primer, very smooth, nice sheen. I don't find this glittery at all, just a perfect taupe lid color. Want to check out the other WnW singles now ... Would def purchase again!

What a great product!! This is a beautiful silvery taupe color, which is shimmery but not overly so, especially if you apply with a light hand. Applies super smooth, and wears very well. I'm really beginning to appreciate these tiny makeup compacts, especially as my makeup drawer is getting increasingly crowded. When I wore this today, I realized that I'm going to have to resurrect my Natural Smokes quad from Maybelline out of my bag of Makeup Limbo, because this color will work great as a lid color with that quad, since I hated the glitter fall-out from the lid color in the quad, even though I liked all the other shades in that quad. I can definitely see getting lots of use out of this shadow, all year round.
this is a great color -I think it could look good on just about everyone. It is a goldish/taupe with a little bit of silvery undertone -I don't know if that made any sense, but it's the only way I can think to describe this color! this is a great color to use if you just need a quick wash of color, and want to use a big fluffy brush and run.
It is soft, like MAC VP e/s - and has great staying power and vibrancy. I would say the quality of these are dupes for MAC - they're really awesome.
I bought this, Kitten, and Brulee, at Wags for $1.99 each. I eyed the palettes for a bit, and I did find colors in each of them that I would like, but not enough to commit to the entire palette (I know - a whopping $4.99, and I can't commit :)
But really - I found the individual colors to be great, and am enjoying them!

I am in complete awe on how this technology is resonating with today's developers. If I invite developers for an evening event, Big Data is always a sellout. This particular post is about getting everyone up to speed about what Hadoop is at a high level. Big data is a technology that manages voluminous amount of unstructured and semi-structured data. Due to its size and semi-structured nature, it is inappropriate for relational databases for analysis. Big data is generally in the petabytes and exabytes of data.

A judge has denied a request from prosecutors in the Colorado theater shooting to redact court documents that already have been made public.
The judge's ruling, released Thursday, didn't identify the documents or indicate why prosecutors wanted to redact them.
Arapahoe County District Judge William B. Sylvester said lawyers must file a motion citing an appropriate legal authority if they wanted to redact a document already made public.
James Egan Holmes has been charged with murder and attempted murder in the July 20 shootings that killed 12 and injured 58 at an Aurora theater.
Many documents and facts in the case have been kept out of the public eye under Sylvester's orders.
Sylvester previously ordered redactions in one documents detailing Holmes' medical records after they were inadvertently made public.

- Studio: IFC Films
- Release Date: Aug 6, 2010
- Summary: A romantic drama about a brief, unexpected love affair that catches two people completely off-guard.
- Director: Ruba Nadda
- Genre(s): Drama, Romance
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 18 out of 26
Mixed: 8 out of 26
Negative: 0 out of 26
As in David Lean's "Brief Encounter," the suspense in Cairo Time comes from what doesn't happen between its pair of "lovers."
Ms. Clarkson's performance as Juliette, the fashion-writer wife of a United Nations functionary, is the film's reason for being. She makes yearning palpable. She turns mysterious silences into a language of love.
Cairo Time may be your ticket if you're in the mood for love, but the excursion is a cut-rate journey.
Given the rarity of such movies, and such opportunities for an actress like Clarkson, Cairo Time earns some indulgence for a pace that Westerners may find languid.
For a movie defined by its restraint, this travelogue is remarkably physical; as a valentine to the rueful desire of grown-ups acquainted with both joy and disappointment, the film is a true rarity.
The fourth feature from Canadian writer-helmer Ruba Nadda ("Sabah") has a slightly breathless, old-fashioned feel, calling to mind the cliched fiction found in the type of ladies' magazine the heroine edits.

JohnR.Aug 7, 2010Good fil. Lingers in the mind.
Sep 6, 2010Si no fuera por la gran Patricia Clarkson y por la fascinante -por lo menos en el filme- ciudad del Cairo, el más reciente largometraje de la cineasta canadiense Ruba Nadda no pasarÃa de ser un mero telefilme romántico. Pero con esos escenarios y con esta actriz, nada de eso. Además, hay que admitir que la señora Nadda dirige con solvencia esta sobria historia de amor nunca consumada.… Expand
Jul 3, 2011One reviewer's reference to "Brief Encounter" is apt: So much hinges on what may be left unsaid and undone. Enjoyable as long as you're not expecting much drama. The atmospherics of Cairo were quite entrancing -- though they seemed sanitized compared to what's gone on there recently and the revelations of how threatened women are, even walking down the street fully covered. I'm a big fan of Patricia Clarkson, in everything from "The Station Agent" to old "Frasier" reruns; she wraps up warmth, humor, strength and loneliness in one delicate package. In this, she's looking a bit wan and wizened . . . but does a good job keeping you wondering whether she will break from her usual moral code or not.… Expand
Jun 7, 2011Did I enjoy it. Yeah i did. Sortof. Would i watch it again. Nope. Its a nice scenic tour around Cairo and is certainly a nice relaxing movie to watch. But , one of its failings is the lead female character. She appears mute and unsuitable to the role. There is no chemistry at all emancipating from her. If the movie had concentrated as much on the script and on the chosen female lead as they did with the scenery then it could have been good. Remnds me of an alright black and white movie.… Expand
Feb 13, 2011The movie is quite nice to watch, except for, and am I the only one to notice, I wonder, the main female character. She is nauseatingly ugly, and her looks make it hard to believe that any sort of chemistry could possibly exist between her and...a man. Why spend all that money on making a movie, and then cast someone with the looks of a witch from the woods ? I don't get it...… Expand

Are you one of the masses of people popping zinc lozenges or drinking orange juice when you feel a cold coming on?
So what works and what's a waste of money?
NBC 15's Sarah Carlson gets to the bottom of the cure for the common cold.
We spend millions on our desperate search for a cure, not to mention the time and money spent on advertising those products as legitimate ways to prevent a cold or cut it short.
So what works? We took an arm-load of products to a local doctor to find out.
Your medicine cabinet and pantry are full of lots of remedies, so which should you stock up on this winter?
First - nasal spray. We heard some use it to prevent catching a bug on a plane ...
"It doesn't do anything to kill the virus at all, it actually won't work as a preventative."
But Doctor Greg Demuri, a pediatrician with UW, says it IS a great way to make young kids feel better who can't take cough and cold medication.
Now, to echinacea. We've benefited big time from the boost to our immune systems in the winter, right?
"It sure is a bit of a waste of money, yeah," says Dr. Demuri.
One extensive study to prove this was done right here at UW Madison.
Dr. Demuri says, "We're injecting the virus in the patients' noses, they take echinacea before and unfortunately it did not protect them."
The popular product Cold-Eez has made zinc a favorite for people who feel a cold coming on.
You're probably getting sick of this answer.
"Zinc has been studied to death now in the common cold and it really has not shown efficacy in preventing or shortening the duration of it," says Dr. Demuri.
So what about vitamin C? We all know more vitamin C can keep you away from the doctor's office.
"It certainly can't hurt. It might make you feel like you're doing something for yourself to keep yourself healthy."
In short, it's good for you, but prevents nothing.
Our final look is at a product heavily advertised these days - yogurt drinks with probiotics, touted as "immune system boosters."
Once again, there's no proof this prevents a cold - but it might be worth a couple extra bucks at the grocery store.
"The ones we do know they protect against pretty well are the GI illnesses like stomach flu's basically, diarrheas," says Dr. Demuri.
And to prevent those icky viruses, along with the multitude of colds that make their way through your office or school every year, wash your hands, get some sleep, get a flu shot and prepare to spend a few weeks getting over it.
"There's nothing that will shorten the duration of the common cold."
And now for perhaps the most disappointing news ... there was a drug developed to treat the common cold.
But because the illness is so harmless, the standards for FDA approval are very high - too high for that drug to pass the test.

The value of preparation was illustrated during Lee's hostage situation at Discovery Channel headquarters, many presenters observed. Because Discovery had developed an evacuation plan for its employees, its 1,900 employees emerged from the incident unharmed, said Assistant Chief of Police Wayne Jerman of the Montgomery County Police Department, who personally responded to the incident that day.
Luck also played a role too: the explosives and incendiary devices rigged to a "dead man switch" did not detonate when Lee was killed. "The IED just wasn't successful," said Jerman, when asked why the devices didn't explode when Lee was killed. The FBI is still currently investigating what occurred that day.
Jerman believes Lee was a "lone wolf" that had every intention of killing people that day, citing Lee's constant dehumanization of his hostages during negotiations with police. Lee, a radical environmentalist, believed humans were a plague destroying the earth. According to Jerman, the FBI has called Lee the first known hostage-taking suicide bomber in U.S. history.
Throughout the day-long event, particular attention was paid to recognizing possible signs that an employee may snap as well as how to prevent an at-risk employee from going over the edge. One effective way an office can do that is by creating an environment where each employee is treated with dignity and respect, an informational video from the Center for Personal Protection and Safety (CPPS) advised.
Presenters and another CPPS video also explained how employees should respond during an active shooter incident when a gunman is intent on taking as many lives as possible. Among the many strategies are immediate evacuation, hiding, and, when no other option is left, fighting the armed adversary.
[For a Department of Homeland Security booklet on responding to an active shooter situation, click here (.pdf).]
When police arrive on the scene and enter a workplace to neutralize the threat, employees must also know what to do to avoid unintentionally putting themselves in harm's way, explained Dave Crawford, who recently retired as chief of police of the Laurel Police Department in southern Maryland.
"When the SWAT team shows up, they can't tell the good guys from the bad guys," he said.
During an active shooter situation, employees that run into police should always keep their hands up, not make any sudden movements, and obey police officer commands. Unlike a hostage situation, the police's mission during an active shooter is to neutralize the threat before the assailant can take more lives.
If employees don't follow police orders during an active shooter situation, "it could be a catastrophic mistake," Crawford said.

CORRECTION: The original article stated Lee had four improvised incendiary and explosive devices strapped to his body. Actually it was five, four incendiary devices and one pipe bomb. The text has been corrected to reflect the correct number of devices.

Blog Tags: Plastic 6-pack Ring
The Dangers of Ocean Litter, Writ Large
In an apparent guerilla stunt, a wildlife sculpture in downtown Vancouver has been "caught" in a giant plastic 6-pack ring. The sculpture, located at the corner of Georgia and Thurlow Streets, depicts two dolphins, whose necks are now caught in the giant plastic rings marked with the "PlasticPollutionCoalition.org" web address.
This stunt is a large-scale reminder of the dangers of litter, particularly plastics, in our ocean. Approximately 75-80 million tons of plastics are used every year to produce the world's food packaging alone, and a large proportion of these plastics inevitably end up in our oceans. Almost 80% of the garbage found in the ocean comes from land-based sources, with the majority being packaging and food containers like the ubiquitous 6-pack ring featured in this guerilla demonstration. This garbage kills sea creatures by strangling them, drowning them through entanglement, or even starving them through malnutrition when ingested debris in the creatures' stomachs prevents them from getting the food and nutrients that they require.

In retrospect, last night's title was won last summer. Three things I guarantee after last night watching the Celtics, not surprisingly, beat the Lakers for the NBA Championship: 1. Kobe Bryant isn't, in fact, Michael Jordan. In the clincher, he went 22 minutes between baskets. 2. Coa ... More >>

Worldwide Partner Conference
What is WPC?
WPC 2014 Highlights
Exhibitors and Sponsors
Partner Program Updates What you need to know
Partner Program Updates. What you need to know.
Julie Bennani
General Manager, Microsoft Partner Network
MPN Blog Content
Recently, we made a
to modify the release timeline for partner program changes that were announced at the Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) in July 2013.
I'd like to take this opportunity to talk about how these changes reflect a simpler, more measured approach.
We heard your feedback and are responding
When you choose to partner with us, our commitment is to help make it the best business decision you can make. We continually strive to offer a world-class commercial partner program, resources and experiences to allow your organization to pursue new business opportunities with minimal disruption. Since WPC, we received a lot of feedback that more time was needed to prepare for cloud mainstreaming and that we must approach these changes more simply - both were core to this decision.
What's changing and when?
We have divided what was announced in July at WPC into two program releases in calendar year 2014, one in February and one in late Q3 calendar year.
How that impacts you depends on your level of partnership and business model
Coming in February 2014
Mainstreamed Internal Use Rights for Microsoft cloud services
: Today, only members of our cloud incubation programs (
Cloud Essentials, Cloud Accelerate, etc
.) have internal use rights for Microsoft cloud services like Office365, Windows Intune, Azure and CRM Online. We are very excited to announce that in February, we will offer cloud Internal Use Rights (IUR) benefits to
partners in a competency or subscribing to
Microsoft Action Pack
Microsoft Action Pack
subscription (MAPs)
We are launching a brand new cloud-focused version of MAPs that gives partners more choice and provides content and training organized and optimized for specific partner business models like hosting, application development, custom services, managed services, reselling and device design and development.
Cloud Essentials
Complementing the launch of a new MAPs, we are retiring the Cloud Essentials program. Net new enrollment into Cloud Essentials will stop with the February 2014 release.
Cloud IUR rights for existing Cloud Essentials partners will extend until
June 30, 2014
– at that time all partners must transition into either the new MAPs or a competency to continue to use our Cloud IUR.
Intelligent Systems
One of the most exciting new business opportunities is related to the commercial
"internet of things"
, a true devices-and-services opportunity.
continues to track the intelligent systems opportunity.
According to
, Microsoft is positioned very strongly here, and to help our partners capitalize on this we are launching a new
Intelligent Systems
Digital Marketing
competency evolves to
Digital Advertising
Last year we modified the Digital Marketing competency to focus on agencies and advertising partners. Digital marketing is a broad and potentially misleading term, so for clarity and focus we are completing the transition by changing the name and updating the requirements to better reflect these critical partners.
Application track for
Collaboration & Content
Most of our solution competencies have an application track that enables partners to qualify via a tested application as opposed to accredited people.
Our SharePoint business has a large partner ecosystem focused on applications that we need to further support, highlight and more appropriately qualify more via our
Microsoft Platform Ready
Standard updates to requirements
To ensure that partners have the most current Microsoft skills and applications to successfully sell and deliver our technologies we will continue to update relevant exams, accreditation and application requirements and retire old ones. Details will be included in an updated Disclosure Guide.
Coming late Q3 of 2014
Remaining Incubation cloud programs will be retiring:
Cloud Accelerate, Cloud Deployment
Azure Circle
programs will phase out at this time.
We will allow new partners to join these programs until this time to enable partners to continue to earn cloud accelerator incentives. Please keep in mind that
for new partners to get Cloud IUR after the February
, they will need to earn these rights via MAPs or by earning a competency.
Infrastructure competencies merging
The existing
Server Platform, Management & Virtualization
Identity & Access
competencies will merge to become the new "Datacenter" competency as announced at WPC in July.
This change is designed to help partners deliver on the Microsoft Cloud OS strategy.
We will offer new training content to prepare for this in February, giving you much more time to prepare.
Business Intelligence becomes Data Analytics:
The Business Intelligence
competency will change to
Data Analytics
, signaling the increased emphasis on Big Data scenarios. This is not just a name change as we will introduce new requirements as well.
Training material will be made available during the first half of 2014, giving you more time to prepare.
Hosting competency retiring, hosting tracks launching:
Per hosting partner feedback, the current Hosting competency does not effectively support their needs. In response, we will offer unique hosting tracks within the following core competencies -
Datacenter, Messaging, Communications
Data Platform.
This allows us to recognize hosters more precisely for the solution/service offered - what matters most to customers - while introducing requirements and benefits that are more relevant and tailored – what matters most to these partners.
competency retiring:
With nearly all devices becoming "mobile" and with the rapid shift to smartphones, we will retire the
competency and transition current partners into the
Application Development
or the
Devices and Deployment
competency appropriately.
Need more details?
You can access details via the Disclosure Guide on the
Microsoft Partner Network Portal
This document will be updated regularly to ensure you have the details you need.
Our partner ecosystem has always been and continues to be
our greatest asset and differentiator in the market, and as a company, we are committed to working closely with our partners to bring the next wave of devices and services to market.
Thank you for your continued partnership and I encourage those who are still considering joining the Microsoft Partner Network to join in as it's a great time to be a Microsoft partner!

Losing O365 after losing CRM...maybe it would make more sense to stay with someone who you can trust....this is the scenario that your client worries about after moving to a cloud provider...nice that partners can experience it.
08 Jul 2014 -
We lost our licenses to CRM along with the 250 for Office 365 and I was told MPN call center in the philipines that it is not possible to access our CRM and that the data is lost forever! This is not acceptable!

The new action pack really serves little value for SMB partners. Not only that, the cloud essentials is no longer offering 250 IU office 365 seats and retiring end of June 2014. Why is it that Microsoft changes its rules so quickly like the weather ? Small business specialists are being eliminated, partnership award has changed, certification roadmap has changed, Action pack has changed and even c

This is starting to get really impossible to work as an MS partner. Not to mention the other headkicking that MS has done to it's partners in a past year this small thing tipped the scale. We have been an technical MS powerhouse for 10+ years. The customer environments contain all of the Windows versions. Now we have just discovered that MS has removed Windows 7 from partner program and Windows 8 is only available. We can live with the UI... But we cannot live with the interoperability issues that win8 has ( older programs, vpn, management etc etc). One could extend this list quite far... So basically they force us to move to Windows 8 --> We cannot do our work for our customer environments --> impossible situation. Why is MS trying to get rid of it's partners or what is the story here? P.S. Definetelly starting to go through Google's and Apple's partner programs documentation and see what they have there, this is getting ridicilous. -- Juha CTO @ MS Gold Partner

Hi John. I hope this will help your inquiry,link for complete software contents of Action Pack - https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/us/Pages/Membership/action-pack-solution-provider-software-contents.aspx. At the same time you might want to download the "Disclosure Guide" for upcoming program changes this year (2014). https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/us/Pages/Membership/Downloads/Microsoft-Partner-Network-Competency-Roadmap.aspx You may also check FAQ's for the Action Pack - https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/us/Pages/Membership/action-pack-software-licensing-benefits-faq.aspx

Does this mean that small company definition will be changed? I read this as company that has over 10 ppl working cannot any more use Action Pack licences as Cloud services are added into Action Pack. "Internal-use software licenses* to support up to a 10-person organization—deployed through Microsoft Cloud Services or on-premises software." PS: security code (below) does not show up in Mozilla browsers.

IUR rights for existing Cloud Essentials partners will extend until June 30, 2014 – at that time all partners must transition into either the new MAPs or a competency to continue to use our Cloud IUR. For a Cloud Essentials partner currently making use of IUR rights for Office 365, I am assuming this means Office 365 IUR are effectively disappearing, given that MAPS doesn't appear to have Office 365 IUR rights. Is that correct?

Beer the currency for debts that mere money can't settle.

The BOFH offsets his CO2 emissions (mostly from lager fermentation) by reducing other humans' carbon footprints to zero. How thoughtful.

Graham was given a sporting chance. They told him what was going on and he still put his head in that cupboard - evolution in action.

What sort of IT unit still gets paid by cheque?
You get the same kind of panics when the bank won't accept your BACS file but you get to fix it yourself. Maybe add a 0 to your own payment while you're at it.
Cops and ISP in paedophile data mix up
Reliable Source?
Remember the man with the chair leg? Police snipers shot him dead in the street because a "reliable source" had told them he was an IRA terrorist and the chair leg was a gun.
Remember the two Asian brothers who heard someone breaking their front door down in the small hours? They went downstairs to see what was happening and the police shot them on sight because a "reliable source" had told them the brothers were Muslim terrorists.
The "reliable source" turned out to be a mentally ill youth.
The "reliable source" excuse should be automatically FOI-able: no anonymity for false accusers or for the fools who believe them.

We'll all regret this foolishness when the Yanks invade us, no doubt invited in by a government we're desperate to get rid of.

They're right to delay, of course. There *are* unproductive tests and even counterproductive tests (the A330 had one) where you have to replace the test aircraft and find more test pilots.

Budvar beats Anheuser-Busch in latest Budweiser battle
Guerrilla success in War of Attrition
What's happening here is that A-B, which is part of a huge conglomerate, goes to law on the slightest pretext and keeps appealing every nitpick for as long as it can. The lawyers' fees and court costs are money tied up until one side wins decisively and the loser has to pay both sides' costs. That's a drop in the bucket to A-B, a lot of money to Budvar. Also, it's a gamble: if A-B lose they can delay payment so as to spin the game out longer, but if Budvar lose it could bankrupt them.
So it's corporate bullying by A-B.
They ought to spell it as they pronounce it: "Badweiser". In the UK that'd attract more teenagers (it was MY idea!) but in Germany it'd imply the product's bathwater.

How to survive the crisis: Sell kiddies booze
Oh, yes they do
In fact, round here they're noted for it - see our local paper:
"A Tesco store in Woodley has been caught selling booze to children following a police crackdown on underage drinking.
The sting operation saw a 15-year-old go into the Tesco Express in Loddon Vale Centre accompanied by undercover officers and attempt to buy alcohol. The employee was issued with an £80 fixed penalty notice for disorder after illegally serving the underage teen with booze.
This is not the first time Tesco has been in trouble for selling booze to underage youngsters in Reading.
The Extra store in Napier Road, Reading, and the two Tesco Express shops in Bath Road, Southcote, and Church Street, Caversham, were previously caught in test purchases in April/May 2006 and all given £80 on-the-spot fines for selling alcohol to a 15-year-old boy."

Fort Worth Dunbar coach Robert Hughes Jr. talked last season about building character and confidence within his basketball program.On Thursday night, Dunbar played two and a half quarters with confidence before needing a buzzer-beating layup by Dennis Jones to escape Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center with an 82-80 win over Temple. The victory sends Dunbar (8-2), No. 4 in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches' Class 4A rankings, to the semifinals of the 16th annual Fort Worth ISD Classic at 8 p.m. Friday at Wilkerson-Greines.Dunbar faces the winner of Friday's 12:30 p.m. game between Mansfield Timberview and Austin LBJ."I was disappointed in how we spent our time on the layoff," Hughes said. "What I was talking about then was having a leader on the team that will call up other players and work on their games or something. That's why we missed all those free throws and had all those turnovers."Temple (6-8) squared the game at 80-80 with 40 seconds remaining on a layup by Logan Hicks. After a Dunbar turnover, Temple had a chance to win before Zach Evans came up with a steal in the waning seconds. Evans flipped the ball to Jones, who was breaking toward the basket and finished with a layup to thwart the comeback. "I definitely thought that I might draw a foul, but it's in my nature to play aggressively on defense," Evans said. "I kind of went for the ball and he stumbled or something and it came right to me."Dunbar built a 17-point lead in the first half on 18-of-40 shooting before Temple, chock-full of underclassmen, roared back to life in the third quarter. Temple shot 50 percent in the second half with five scorers in double figures, including Marquese Whitfield with 21 points. Logan Ray led Dunbar with 19 points, Jones had 18 and Evans 16. Dunbar shot 40 percent from the floor. • Mansfield Timberview 53, Houston Christian Life 50: Alex Robinson knocked down two free throws with 5.3 seconds remaining to lead the Wolves past Christian Life Academy in first-round action.The Wolves (7-4) meet Austin LBJ at 12:30 p.m. Friday. Robinson finished with 15 points. Timberview made 14 of 16 free throws in the fourth quarter to subdue the Cougars (17-4). Matt Martin, who scored 13 points, was 6-for-6 at the line in that final stretch and teammate Tyus Momoh was 5-for-6.Momoh had 14 points.Christian Life got 14 points from Kris Smith and 13 from Torrell Sutton. The Cougars play McKinney Boyd in the consolation quarterfinals at 8 a.m. Friday. • FW Arlington Heights 70, Killeen 56: Larry Johnson scored 23 points and Andre Washington added 21 as the Yellow Jackets beat the Kangaroos.Heights (7-4) advances to the quarterfinals to face Arlington Bowie (11-3) at 11 a.m. Friday.Lavelle Scottie also had 15 points and Tyler Kelly added eight in the Yellow Jackets' win.Brian Long led three Killeen scorers in double figures with 11 points. • Arlington Lamar 56, Mansfield Summit 55: Derrick Lagrone's basket with 1:32 remaining proved to be the game-winner for Lamar in the opening game of the tournament.The Summit Jaguars took their first lead of the second half at 55-54 with 1:49 to play on a Corinthian Ramsey bucket, but Lamar answered on Lagrone's shot. Lamar's last two possessions ended in a turnover and missed free throw on the front end of a one-and-one. Trailing 42-37 entering the fourth quarter, Summit drew even at 42 with 6 minutes to play on a basket from Diego Sanchez. Lamar then went on a 6-0 run to open a 50-44 lead with 4:46 left. Brandon Childs finished with a team-high 16 points for Lamar and Julius Jackson added 15. The Vikings were 9 for 18 on free-throw attempts. Summit was led by Ramsey's game-high 18 points, with 13 coming in the second half.

HoopsHype JR Smith rumors
One of president Phil Jackson's big decisions this season is whether to trade J.R. Smith, and the club had recent conversations with the Pacers regarding ex-Knick Chris Copeland, according to a league source. The 6-foot-9 Copeland, whom the Pacers signed in July 2013, has an expiring contract after bolting the Knicks for a two-year, $6 million deal, so he wouldn't affect their 2015 cap space. New York Post
Jackson had plenty to say about every player on the Knicks' roster in an interview with ESPN.com. He was very thorough and honest in his evaluation, particularly of Smith, whose past performance has many wondering if he will buy into the triangle offense. "J.R. is easily the best athlete on the team," Jackson said. "But J.R. has to learn the difference between a good shot and a bad shot. He has to trust that the triangle will create good shots and to avoid searching for his own shot. His defense also needs work because he tends to be a ball-watcher, and he's late in chasing his man around screens when he should be tailgating him." Newsday
Ian Begley: #Knicks' J.R. Smith said he appreciated Rodman's comparison. "We work hard on the court and we play hard off the court, so (I'll) take it." Twitter @IanBegley
Dennis Rodman: Sending love to the zen master @Phil Jackson and the @New York Knicks for this season. Good luck to @JR Smith who is the new Dennis Rodman Twitter @dennisrodman
Even Dennis Rodman is embracing the idea that J.R. Smith is the 2014 Knicks version of his Chicago Bulls self. On Wednesday, the mercurial former Bulls player tweeted out his agreement with his former coach turned Knicks President Phil Jackson's assessment that Smith is the new Rodman. For The Win
J.R. Smith made an interesting observation about the Knicks' new offense on Monday. "You have to think the game more. It's just more of a complex way that we play, [more complex] than we're used to playing," Smith said after the Knicks' third preseason game. "We're used to just catching and going, stuff like that. Now, cutting, making sure we're getting in our right spots. It's just a conscious effort I think." ESPN.com
Ian Begley: JR Smith says he's not bothered by Phil comparing him to Dennis Rodman. Said he likes being compared to a Hall of Famer. #Knicks Twitter @IanBegley
J.R. Smith admittedly took until "the last 30 games" to regain form following a tumultuous start to last season, following knee surgery, a suspension for violating the NBA's drug policy and multiple fines, including one for untying the shoelaces of opponents. "I think it's definitely a clean slate. I think it will be a more productive start of the year for me," Smith said. "There's nothing hanging over my head whether it's injuries, suspensions, stuff like that. So I'm starting out from Day 1 with my team and it's a great feeling." New York Daily News
Kurt Thomas believes the J.R. Smith shoelace saga never would have happened last season if he and other veterans were on the roster. "I don't think so, I don't think that's something that would happen," Thomas said Monday night on Anthony Donahue's Internet radio show on The Knicks Blog. "Especially if you have a veteran guy to pull him to the side, to get in his ear, to let him know the importance of him staying focused on the task at hand and that's his job to go out there and to perform on the highest level." ESPN.com
Do you think that stems from your occasional antics, like when you got fined last season for untying your opponents' shoelaces? JR Smith: I do care about the fines because it's loss of money, but other than that, I like to have fun. I would do [the shoelace thing] again if there wasn't a fine. But now that I'm in my 10th year in the NBA, I take the game more seriously than I did my first five, six years. Bleacher Report
So what sparked your golf interest five years ago? JR Smith: I was at Rashard Lewis' [basketball] tournament in Houston. He runs a Pro-Am out there every year and I would always play on his team. While I was there, he told me to come out to [Hall of Famer] Moses Malone's golf tournament. I was riding around on the cart, but I wasn't playing. Then Moses is like, "Get your ass out of the cart and play." So I go out there and hit the ball like 300 yards dead center. Just like that; the first hit. I even used the same form I have right now. Bleacher Report
That day in Houston, you instantly became addicted to golf? JR Smith: Yeah. After that first shot, [Malone] was like, "I bet you can't do it again." I'm like, "Whatever." But I get up there and I couldn't hit it again. I was frustrated. I was like, "Why the hell can't I do this?" He's like, "That's just the way the game is." The very next day I went to go buy clubs. Bleacher Report
What are CP and Steph's golf games like? JR Smith: CP is all right. He needs to work on it because he doesn't play as much as I do. But Steph is unbelievable. Steph and Ray Allen. I haven't played with Ray yet. Bleacher Report
Fisher can play one at shooting guard while the others sit on the bench or mix and match combinations of the three guards in the triangle offense, as GM Steve Mills suggested earlier this month. "That's for the coach to decide. All we've got to do is play," J.R. Smith said Thursday. "Whatever they decide, we've got to just live with it. Hopefully everybody could put their egos aside and come together for one common goal." ESPN.com
J.R. Smith has several goals entering the 2014-15 season. He wants to help the Knicks make the playoffs and contend in the Eastern Conference. He wants to produce consistently on both ends of the floor. All of these are normal goals for any NBA player. But Smith has one goal that may surprise you: "Be a leader," Smith said in an interview with ESPNNewYork.com on Thursday at his foundation's annual golf fundraiser. "We've got so many younger guys around. A lot of the older guys left within the last two years. So be more of a leader and help out." ESPN.com
Working to clear the logjam in the backcourt, the Knicks are discussing their potential trade options with guards J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and Shane Larkin, a league source said Sunday. "They're working on trying to make a move in the backcourt," the NBA source familiar with the Knicks' thinking said. ESPN.com
JR Smith appeared on ESPN2's "First Take" on Wednesday, talked about the Knicks' glut at shooting guard and said he "wouldn't blame" team president Phil Jackson and the Knicks if the team had decided to trade him last season. "No. Absolutely not. The way I was playing, I was playing like a person who didn't want to be there," Smith said. "Not looking as focused as a person should be in that situation that we were, in the trenches. I wouldn't blame them at all." ESPN.com
After what he called the worst season of his career, J.R. Smith is surprised he's still with the Knicks. "I was playing like a person who didn't want to be there, not looking as focused as a person who should be in the situations we were in," Smith said Wednesday morning on ESPN's "First Take." "I believe it was the worst year I've had in the NBA, including my rookie year." Newsday

So you want to start a band? No money? Instruments held together with spit and duct tape? But you're gonna make it big someday, right? You'll need someplace to practice before you play the big stage. If you're from Suburbia do I have news for you! You have the ultimate practice space right in your own home! The garage! Yes, that dinky space where your dad keeps the Christmas decorations on the off season and keeps swearing that one day he'll clean it out so he can actually park his car in there. Co-opt that space now! Kick some stuff out of the way and drop your instruments where you can find space and wail away. You'll be playing concerts in no time, just open the garage door and the neighbors can get in on the action. This trope is often played in fiction as a ragtag group of teenagers, for bonus points it may be a group of Emo Teens, forming a band. Sometimes the band is a spur of the moment thing, started as a weekend project or to win a talent show and becomes the plot of the episode. Often the band will break up at the end of the episode. Truth in Television, obviously, as it tends to be the largest single room in a typical suburban house that isn't in constant use by the rest of the family. (It also tends to be somewhat soundproof, which is a bonus if you're not very good.) A number of successful bands have started out as Garage Bands, with Nirvana being one of the most famous in recent years. Hell, there's even a genre of music called Garage Rock. Not directly related to the Apple software of the same name, although many garage band members swear by it... if they can afford a MacBook. See also Three Chords and the Truth.
