Rise of the Guardians is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated fantasy film based on William Joyce's The Guardians of Childhood book series and The Man in the Moon short film by Joyce and Reel FX. Peter Ramsey directed the film, while Joyce and Guillermo del Toro were executive producers with the voice talents of Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher, and Jude Law. Produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures, it was released on November 21, 2012 and received mixed to positive reviews, but was disappointing financially, contributing to a studio writedown of $83 million for the quarter and the layoffs of 350 employees.
Set about 300 years after the book series, the film tells a story about Guardians Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and the Sandman, who enlist Jack Frost to stop Pitch Black from engulfing the world in darkness. The film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film.[5] This is the last film by DreamWorks Animation to be distributed by Paramount Pictures.[6]
The spirit of winter Jack Frost is lifted with amnesia from the depths of a frozen pond by the Man in the Moon only to discover no one can see, hear, or touch him. Three hundred years later at the North Pole, North better known as Santa Claus, becomes aware that Pitch Black, the Boogeyman, has returned and is threatening the children of the world. After alerting fellow Guardians the Tooth Fairy (Tooth for short), the Easter Bunny, and the Sandman/Sandy of the problem, North learns that Jack Frost has been selected by the Man in the Moon as the newest Guardian. Jack Frost, frustrated and hurt by centuries of isolation, declines the invitation, but North persuades Jack Frost to cooperate by explaining their mission and the looming threat.
Meanwhile, Pitch Black and his Nightmare minions raid Tooth's palace, taking all the children's teeth and the memories stored within. He also captures Tooth's helper fairies except for a single fairy named Baby Tooth who is rescued by Jack Frost. Resentful that he himself is not believed in, Pitch plans to destroy children's faith in the Guardians and thereby weaken them by preventing Tooth from doing her work. To avert this, the Guardians travel the world collecting teeth, and promise Jack that when they find Pitch, they will help him regain his own baby teeth and through them the memories of his past life. On the expedition, a young boy named Jamie Bennett is delighted to discover the Guardians in his room. He believes in all of them except for Jack, whom he cannot see. Pitch learns of the Guardians' resistance and attacks Jack and Sandy. Despite Jack's efforts to save him, Sandy is overwhelmed and seemingly killed by Pitch.
The dejected Guardians rally by helping Bunnymund prepare his eggs for Easter. Although slightly complicated by the intrusion of Jamie's sister Sophie, the preparation goes smoothly. Jack takes Sophie home, but afterward a mysterious female voice lures him to Pitch's lair where Tooth's fairies and the teeth are being held. Pitch keeps him distracted with the promise of his teeth's memories, while Jack's absence allows the Nightmares to raid Bunnymund's domain, shattering all the eggs, and destroying the children's belief in the Easter Bunny.
After facing the disappointed Guardians, a despondent Jack departs in disgrace to Antarctica. There, Pitch tempts him to join forces, but Jack refuses, claiming that he wants to be loved, not feared. In retaliation for rejecting the offer, Pitch threatens to kill Baby Tooth unless Jack relinquishes the source of his power which is his staff. Pitch breaks the staff and throws Jack and Baby Tooth down into an ice crevasse out of anger, where Baby Tooth convinces Jack to unlock his memories in an attempt to counter his despair. Long ago, his memories teach him, he was a mortal teenage boy who died saving his little sister from falling through the ice of the pond in which he awakened at the film's start. Because of that sacrifice, the Man in the Moon changed him into a spirit and chose him as a Guardian. Inspired by the revelation, Jack restores his staff and returns to help the Guardians.
Due to the power of Pitch's Nightmares, only one child (Jamie) still believes. Jack races to the boy first and strengthens Jamie's wavering faith in the Guardians, but by creating snow in Jamie's room, he causes him to believe that Jack Frost is real. Jamie is finally able to see him much to Jack's delighted surprise. The weakened Guardians arrive to confront Pitch, while Jamie gathers his friends to support them. Pitch's powers prove no match against the children's faith, which allows the restored Guardians to battle Pitch. Sandy is resurrected by this belief and joins the fight, leaving Pitch defeated, the children's faith restored, and Jack with believers of his own. Upon seeing that he is no longer believed because of his defeat, Pitch attempts to escape, but his Nightmares track down his fear and drag him away into his lair.
At this victory, Jack accepts his place as the Guardian of Fun and resolves to protect the world's children with his new friends.
In 2005, William Joyce and Reel FX launched a joint venture, Aimesworth Amusements,[14] to produce CG-animated feature films,[15] one of which was set to be The Guardians of Childhood, based on Joyce's idea.[16] The film was not realized, but they did create a short animated film, The Man in the Moon, directed by Joyce, which introduced the Guardians idea,[16] and served as an inspiration for the film.[2]
Early in 2008, Joyce sold the film rights to DreamWorks Animation,[17] after the studio assured him it would respect his vision for the characters and that he would be involved with the creative process.[18] In November 2009, it was revealed that DreamWorks had hired Peter Ramsey to make his feature debut as director of what was then titled The Guardians, and playwright David Lindsay-Abaire to script.[19] Joyce acted as a co-director for the first few years, but left this position after the death of his daughter Mary Katherine,[17] who died of a brain tumor.[18] Joyce continued to assist as an executive producer, while Ramsey took over full directing, making him the first African American to direct a big-budget CG animated film.[20] As with some previous DreamWorks films, Guillermo del Toro came on board as an executive producer. Present almost from the beginning,[21] he was able to help shape the story, character design, theme and structure of the film.[22] He said he was proud that the filmmakers were making parts of the film "dark and moody and poetic," and expressed hope this might "set a different tone for family movies, for entertainment movies."[21] The final title, Rise of the Guardians was announced in early 2011, along with the first cast.[7]
Roger Deakins, the cinematographer who had already worked on the previous DreamWorks' film, How to Train Your Dragon, advised on the lighting to achieve its real look. He selected photographic references for color keys, and during the production gave notes on contrast, saturation, depth of field and light intensity.[23] The film contains a lot of special effects, particularly the volumetric particles for depicting Sandman and Pitch.[24] For this, DreamWorks Animation developed OpenVDB, a more efficient tool and format for manipulating and storing volume data, like smoke and other amorphous materials. OpenVDB had been already used on Puss in Boots and Madagascar 3, and was released in August 2012 for free as an open source project with a hope to become an industry standard.[25]
Although the film is based on the Joyce's book series, it contains differences from the books. The book series, begun in 2011, explains the origins of the characters, while the film takes place about 300 years after the books, and shows how the characters function in present time. Joyce explained, "Because I don't want people to read the book and then go see the movie and go, 'Oh, I like the book better,' and I also didn't want them to know what happens in the movie. And I also knew that during the progress of film production, a lot of things can change. So I wanted to have a sort of distance, so we were able to invoke the books and use them to help us figure out the world of the movie, but I didn't want them to be openly competitive to each other."[17] The idea for the Guardians came from Joyce's daughter, who asked him "if he thought Santa Claus had ever met the Easter Bunny." The film includes a dedication to her,[18] as well a song, "Still Dream," sung over the end credits.[26]
Originally, the film was set to be released on November 2, 2012, but DreamWorks Animation pushed the film to November 21, 2012 to avoid competition with Pixar's upcoming film Monsters University, which in turn had been pushed to November 2, 2012 to avoid competition with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.[27] Monsters University was then pushed to June 21, 2013, with Wreck-It Ralph taking its place.[28]
French composer Alexandre Desplat composed the original music for the film, which was released on November 13, 2012 by Varèse Sarabande. The score was recorded in London at Abbey Road Studios and Air Studios, and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, with a choral contribution by London Voices. David Lindsay-Abaire wrote the lyrics for the end-credit song, "Still Dream," which was performed by soprano Renée Fleming.[29] Stravinsky's Firebird Suite can also be heard during the scene where North first appears. This film marks the first time that a DreamWorks Animation film has not been composed by either Hans Zimmer or a member of his Remote Control Productions family of composers (mainly John Powell, Henry Jackman, Harry Gregson-Williams or his brother Rupert Gregson-Williams).

Rise of the Guardians had its premiere on October 10, 2012, at The Mill Valley Film Festival in Mill Valley, California,[1] followed by the international premiere at The International Rome Film Festival on November 13, 2012.[31][32] Under distribution by Paramount Pictures, the film was released on November 21, 2012, in American theaters.[27] Digitally re-mastered into IMAX 3D, it was shown in limited international and domestic IMAX theaters.[33] It was the second film released in the firm Barco's Auro 11.1 3D audio format, after Red Tails.[34] The film was also shown in Dolby Atmos, a surround sound technology introduced in 2012.[35] Rise of the Guardians was the last DreamWorks Animation film distributed by Paramount, as DreamWorks has signed a five-year distribution deal with 20th Century Fox, starting in 2013 with The Croods.[6]
Rise of the Guardians was released on Blu-ray (2D and 3D) and DVD on March 12, 2013.[36]
This was the last DreamWorks Animation home media release to be distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment, since 20th Century Fox announced its distribution agreement with DreamWorks Animation a few months before the theatrical release.[6] The film was more successful at home media sales than at the box office, having at the end of the second quarter of 2013 "the highest box office to DVD conversion ratio among major releases."[37] In the first quarter of 2013, it sold 3.2 million home entertainment units worldwide,[38] and in the second quarter 0.9 million units, for a total of 4.1 million units.[39] As of August 2013, 2 million DVDs were sold domestically.[40]
It was re-released on DVD on November 5, 2013 and comes with a wind-up marching elf toy.[41]
Rise of the Guardians received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Based on 144 reviews, the film holds a rating of 74% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 6.6/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "A sort of Avengers for the elementary school set, Rise of the Guardians is wonderfully animated and briskly paced, but it's only so-so in the storytelling department."[42] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 57 based on 34 reviews, or "Mixed or average."[43] The film earned an "A" from audiences polled by CinemaScore.[44]
Carrie Rickey of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the film three-and-a-half out of four stars and found the film's characters to have "a primal familiarity, as though they were developed by a tag team of Maurice Sendak and Walt Disney."[45] Olly Richards of Empire wrote, "It's gorgeously designed, deftly written and frequently laugh-out-loud funny. For child or adult, this is a fantasy to get lost in."[46] The Washington Post's Michael O'Sullivan also gave the film a positive review and said, "Thoughts become things. That's the message of Rise of the Guardians, a charming if slightly dark and cobwebbed animated feature about how believing in something makes it real, or real enough."[47] Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three stars and wrote in his review, "There's an audience for this film. It's not me. I gather younger children will like the breakneck action, the magical ability to fly and the young hero who has tired of only being a name." Though he did say, "Their parents and older siblings may find the 89-minute running time quite long enough."[48]
Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "a lively but derivative 3D storybook spree for some unlikely action heroes."[2] Conversely, Justin Chang in Variety said, "Even tots may emerge feeling slightly browbeaten by this colorful, strenuous and hyperactive fantasy, which has moments of charm and beauty but often resembles an exploding toy factory rather than a work of honest enchantment."[49] Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal found that the film "lacks a resonant center," and that the script, "seems to have been written by committee, with members lobbying for each major character, and the action, set in vast environments all over the map, spreads itself so thin that a surfeit of motion vitiates emotion."[50]
Rise of the Guardians grossed $103,412,758 in North America, and $203,528,912 in other countries, for a worldwide total of $306,941,670.[4]
In North America, the film opened to $32.3 million over its extended five-day weekend, and with $23.8 million over the three-day weekend, it reached fourth place behind The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, Skyfall, and Lincoln. The film's opening was the lowest debut for a DreamWorks Animation film since Flushed Away.[44] While the film did gross more than its $145 million budget, it still did not turn a profit for DreamWorks Animation due to its high production and marketing costs, forcing the studio to take an $83 million write-down.[51] This marked the first time that the studio had lost money on an animated film since Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas.[51][52] As a result of this combined with other factors, in February 2013, the studio announced it was laying off 350 employees as part of a company-wide restructuring.[52]
The Rome Film Festival and Vanity Fair magazine awarded the new Vanity Fair International Award for Cinematic Excellence in November 2012 to Rise of the Guardians.[31] The film also received the Hollywood Animation Award at the 16th Annual Hollywood Film Festival, held on October 22, 2012.[53]

A video game based on the film was released by D3 Publisher on November 20, 2012 in North America,[63] and released on November 23, 2012 in Europe.[64] It allows gamers to lead the Guardians in their battle against Pitch. The game is a 3D beat-em-up, where the player travels through each of the worlds: Burgess, North Pole, Bunnymund Valley, Tooth Palace, and Sandman's Ship, in order to fight Pitch's army of Nightmares. The player can switch between all five guardians at any time, and freely customize their powers, and they learn new special abilities as they level up. All the game versions support up to 4 player gameplay.[65] It is available on the Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS.[66]
After the release of the film, the creators of Rise of the Guardians expressed hope that the strong A-Cinemascore average for the film and an enthusiastic word-of-mouth would gather support for the "chance to make a sequel or two."[67] Author and co-producer of the series, William Joyce, also mentioned in March 2013 that he was still in talks about a sequel with DreamWorks Animation: "There is something that we are proposing that we hope they will want to do."[68]

Omaha loving Peyton Manning
|Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (18) huddles with teammates against the San Diego Chargers in the third quarter of an NFL AFC division playoff football game, Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014, in Denver. (AP Photo/Jack Dempsey)
OMAHA, Neb. — Peyton Manning can't stop shouting about Nebraska's largest city.
The Denver Broncos quarterback used the word "Omaha" loudly and often during Sunday's National League Football playoff victory over the San Diego Chargers.
According to an NFL.com video montage, Manning barked "Omaha" before the ball was snapped 44 times during the game.
The reason for the word choice, if there is one, is known only to Manning and the Broncos. But it provided some unexpected publicity for the city of 427,000, perhaps best known as the home of both billionaire Warren Buffett and the Fortune 500 insurance company Mutual of Omaha (sponsor of the old TV show "Wild Kingdom").
Omaha, in fact, was a trending topic on Twitter during the game, and the Greater Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau jumped aboard, tweeting: "We certainly appreciate all the love from Peyton Manning :)"
Bureau President and CEO David Brown said he was watching the game, and he wondered how his agency could capitalize. Brown said he wants to explore the possibility of hiring Manning, one of the sporting world's top pitchmen, to shoot a promotional ad for Omaha.
"We'd be foolish not to," Brown said, adding that he realizes Manning would command a fee that likely exceeds his agency's budget.
If anything, Omaha once conjured an image of a cow town on the banks of the Missouri River. But Doug Parrott, executive vice president for the Nebraska-based Bailey Lauerman public relations and advertising firm, said that has changed over the years because of the prominence of Buffett and national media coverage of events such as the College World Series and U.S. Olympic Swim Trials.
Brown said the chamber of commerce has worked hard to woo corporations to locate to "the Big O," as locals call it. Omaha is home to five Fortune 500 companies, including Union Pacific Railroad, and sells itself on, among other things, a reasonable cost of living and dependable workforce.
A chamber-commissioned
See MANNING, Page 10B
study last year found that 100 million people had been exposed to the "Omaha message" in the past decade and that the city is generally viewed positively," Brown said..
"But when people are asked why they feel that way, though, they can't bring it to a single message," he said.
Quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots has been known to say "Omaha" during games and so has Peyton's brother, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. "Sally," "Alpha," and "Kentucky" are among the many words that amount to gibberish to the typical fan, and sometimes they truly mean nothing. But the words often are a signal to the rest of the offense to change a play or scheme — and defenses sometimes try to crack the code.
It was apparent that the Chargers associated "Omaha" with Manning's snap count on Sunday because he lured five different San Diego players to jump offsides, an unusually high number of penalties for the same infraction.
For the city of Omaha, the value of Manning's shout-outs is impossible to calculate, Parrott said.
Parrott noted, however, that air time for a 30-second Super Bowl ad is $4 million this year. If Manning leads the Broncos to the Super Bowl and yells "Omaha" as many times as he did Sunday, well, that's lots of free exposure for this old cow town.
"Commercials cost money to make, and you have to come up with the idea and hire a production company to make it. It could cost $4 million just for the production, and we get it for free," Parrott said. "Everybody in Omaha really needs to root for Peyton to take down Tom Brady and the Patriots so we can hear `Omaha' in the Super Bowl."
AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Denver and AP Sports Writer Mike Marot in Indianapolis contributed to this report.

Quoted from JJR
Wow. I can't imagine not having it. Of course I still have all of my stuff. Except I was born without my Left Major Pectoral muscle. Do you get cold easy also? Is your heart rate slow or fast? They say the thyroid does so much. My Wife's grandmother had Hyper Thyroid and they did the ole radiation to it. It killed it and she slowed down big time after that and gained a lot of weight. Otherwise she was thin before all that. But she was getting arrhythmia's when she was hyperthyroid. I wonder if just some good supplementation wouldn't have helped.So Joe, salt can cause Iodine deficiency? I thought it actually helped it. Hmmmm....

Quoted from SandrAruba
I get cold real easy. That's why I am glad I am back in the tropics and no longer in Holland. Way too cold there. I feel much better here in the warmth. Although come December I will probably be on my porch with a sweater on because I'm too cold (at 27 degrees Celcius). My heart beat is rather fast. And yes the thyroid does a lot. If not working correctly it can cause depression (been there, done that). I for one hardly eat any salt, just every now and then. I do take iodine drops every other day. I notice I feel better when I do. But I do feel tired rather quickly. And that just doesn't seem to go away. I'm hoping it will get better when I loose a bit more weight. The other day I went to my house doctor and said to him that it's a struggle for me every day, being tired a lot and so on... he just smiled at me as if he understood. He doesn't and the medical world can do nothing for me. I thank being alive today to this way of life. If I hadn't found it I would have been 300 pounds or more by now, deeply depressed and taking one drug after the other prescribed by doctors, making me only sicker.. or worse I would have been dead. With this way of life I will overcome this and I will get my total health back. It's not going to happen overnight, I am totally aware of that, just as long as I believe in myself and this diet, I will make it happen!Thank you, Dr. D, you have no idea what an impact you had/have on my life.

Doktor told me, when he took out one half, that the other half was infected,

Sorry, did not mean to highjack the thread, that just blurted out.

Like I said that boat will never be the High performances of the Flying Dutchman Olympic Class One Design. But it does have better performance than most cabin boats. It is a very fine sailing boat and very sea worthy. I wouldn't be afraid to sail it to the Bahamas etc. I started with a Home made wooden Sail Fish off a set of plans. The boat was so heavy it couldn't go to wind. I then jumped a very big giant step to the Dutchman. After sailing the Dutchman for many years I still never mastered it.
PS. My Harbor is so shallow that full keel boats are not popular here. We have Two Identical upscale Sail Boat Canal Neighborhoods in my area. The single lot 80 X 120 Property values differences by a $ 100 K. The reason is the one neighborhood can't get deep draft boats to the Harbor during winter's lower tide levels. Summer boating for Deep Draft Boats is limited to high tide also.
This last spring I purchased a 15 Pound bag of Sahara Bermuda from Wally World for $ 42.00. Thinking I was getting a bargain now that Bermuda Seed is $ 4.00 a Pound. I don't think I got one seed to germinate. That kind of surprised me because it had a Nov of 2010 test date on it and I was planting it in June of 2011. Only thing I can think is Wally World stored the seed over the winter in a bad spot and it got cooked by high temperatures. Freezing would not have hurt it.

anybody knows about RN to BSN program at hunter?
- 0Jan 26 by pyi929Hi I applied to hunter RN to BSN program and am waiting for the result. I was wondering if prerequisite courses should be done before entering the school. Or can I finish them prior to the second semester?
Please help me!!!! because i am missing 2 more prereq courses
- 0Jan 26 by blondie1887I'm actually applying to that program as well. It says on the site that they have to be completed prior to the second semester so probably before you attend because I would think otherwise it would be very difficult to take them while starting those nursing classes that first semester. I already have all of them. Do you know anything about how difficult it is to get into the program? It says a minimum of 3.25 which is pretty high minimum compared to the other programs I've looked at.
- 0Jan 26 by pyi929Thank u for your comment! I don't know how difficult it will be to get in but i would say as long as your gpa is above 3.25, u r safe. Btw, prerequisite courses are psych100,150, chem100/101+12.5credits, eng120, stat. Right? So u mean we need go get all prerequisites done before entering hunter?
- 0Jan 26 by ready4nuI am entering the program this fall, however it is through a dual joint program. I was required to complete chem 127, stats and History 127 in order to be accepted for the fall. All of the other classes were prereqs/coreqs for the program I am currently in so I already completed those.
- 0Jan 28 by blondie1887It says before second semester. I would definitely email someone at the school though because you might want to do them in the summer or at least start them. It says before the 2nd semester so I think you're safe. There's an email listed for the dean on their site.
- 0Mar 18 by blondie1887do you know how long the program takes to complete?

Anyone ever seen this for sale? I like the idea, wear it around the neck on a strap, keeping it between your forearms during the entire swing until impact. I've seen the straps to keep your arms together. I even received an Email from Revolution Golf, selling a larger soft ball, which you inflate, on an adjustable lanyard. You can also keep it deflated under your arm, like the glove drill. Yet you never have to bend over to keep picking it up when it doesn't work. Yet this is $35. Unless I figure out to make my own, if I am not lazy.

Almost 5 stars!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These leggings are amazing. They are incredibly flattering and fit so well! I'm a size 8-10 and the medium was a perfect fit. The only reason they didn't get 5 start from me is after the first wash, a seam came out and started a small hole at the knee. I was devastated. Honestly, these feel so solidly made that I feel like this was a defect and not their normal standard. I'll give Lucy another shot because of how much I loved these leggings. They are flattering, breathable, and now I want to live in leggings.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have two pairs of these that I wear to hot yoga and they are my favorite. They are comfortable, don't budge and allow full motion throughout class. Their wicking capabilities are excellent,they dry quickly and the cut and seams are very flattering. I'd recommend them.
New Favorite
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
If you love to run or practice yoga, you know that a black capri tight is a girls best friend! These ones are by far the best yet, they are stretchy, comfortable, and the cut is great. They are a little bit higher waisted, which makes them highly flattering. I will also often throw a sweater on with them and a pair of flats for a cute/casual look as well!

Dallas Cowboys and the NFL
Latest news on the Cowboys
Roof open on a perfect day
ARLINGTON – For only the second time this season and the first since the home opener in Week 2, the roof is open at Cowboys Stadium. Hard to imagine it wouldn't be today, even if the sunshine does cause a glare on the giant video board. It's about 60 degrees without a cloud in the […] [Read More]
Texas alum shining for Raiders
IRVING – After three lackluster seasons, Raiders free safety and former Texas standout Michael Huff has shown dramatic improvement, Oakland coach Tom Cable said. Through 10 games, Huff has a career-high three interceptions. In last week's 20-17 upset of Cincinnati, he had nine tackles. "His tackling and his communication and just his play at safety […] [Read More]
Ellis says his departure from Dallas stems from Phillips' decision
IRVING – Greg Ellis notched 20½ sacks for the Dallas Cowboys the last two seasons. So why will he line up at defensive end Thursday in the Oakland Raiders' 4-3 alignment instead of outside linebacker in the Cowboys' 3-4 scheme? Dallas saved $4.15 million in salary cap space when they cut Ellis in the offseason, […] [Read More]
Miller time for Raiders
IRVING – Dallas strong safety Gerald Sensabaugh did a great job against Atlanta tight end Tony Gonzalez five weeks ago. That's a good sign for the Cowboys considering the Raiders have one of the league's top young tight ends in 23-year-old Zach Miller. The third-year player from Arizona State leads Oakland with 34 receptions for […] [Read More]
Cowboys could face Raiders without key starter
IRVING – Cowboys Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten will be a game-time decision Thursday with a sprained foot, coach Wade Phillips said. Dallas (7-3) hosts the Oakland Raiders (3-7) at 3:15 p.m. Thanksgiving Day. Witten, who suffered the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's 7-6 win over Washington, and quarterback Tony Romo (back) […] [Read More]
Newman pokes fun at his dust-up with Campo
IRVING – Cowboys CB Terence Newman on Tuesday made light of his sideline altercation with secondary coach Dave Campo. "We got Don King promoting a fight," Newman said. "We're going to be an undercard for the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight. We're still putting it all together. We're goiing to have a hell of a takedown. We got […] [Read More]
Roy Williams responds to LaRon Landry
IRVING – Cowboys WR Roy Williams took the high road when asked to respond Tuesday to Redskins S LaRon Landry's accusation that the former Texas star played "scared" Sunday. "God bless the individual," Williams said. "God bless the young man. Love him. It doesn't even affect…He's coming off a tough loss to the Dallas Cowboys. […] [Read More]
All eyes on video board when Lechler punts Thursday
IRVING – With Texas A&M alum Shane Lechler punting for Oakland, the odds are high the massive video board hanging 90 feet above the field at Cowboys Stadium could get hit for the first time since Tennessee's A.J. Trapasso nailed it during the second preseason game. After signing a four-year deal in February that made […] [Read More]

Good to see our society has its values in place, agonizing over medical cannabis and banning graffiti while Pell goes scot-free.
I'm Feeling A Religious Mood Coming On
Some catholic trucking figures
Having no truck with George Pell
Poor old George he has lost his moral compass but his ambition has taken him to the centre of abuse operations in the Vatican. If a trucking company had critically injured a over 100000 children I think it might have gone out of business. The CEO might well have gone to jail.
When Pell hides behind lawyers let us apply the Jesus test. Would he have condoned the treatment of the abused in this way?
Guardian Hamas and Israel
The Guardian carried an article pointing out that Hamas was softening on its genocidal charter but that has not happened yet. I do think that with its iron dome in place Israel should have been more restrained but what would Australia do if a neighbour rained 30000 rockets onto its territory. Giving peace a chance is so much cheaper and humane. Maybe money for the tunnels and the rockets would have been better spent on schools and hospitals or lawyers.
THE US SUPPORT OF IRAQ THE IRAQ IRAN WAR In the Iraq instigated war against Iran, one of the most brutal of the twentieth century, President Reagan gave his full backing to Saddam Hussein. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Iraq_War.
In this war: 'Iraqi warplanes attacked 34 elementary and high schools in 1986, killing hundreds of children.'
IraQ used mustard gas and sarin The west, as well as USSR, supported the Saddam Hussein and provided him with weapons and means of mass destruction and underground nuclear shelters, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._support_for_Iraq_during_the_Iran-Iraq_war:
Iraq's army was primarily armed with weaponry it had purchased from the Soviet Union and its satellites in the preceding decade. During the war, it purchased billions of dollars worth of advanced equipment from the Soviet Union, France, [28] as well as from the People's Republic of China, Egypt, Germany, and other sources (including Europe and facilities for making and/or enhancing chemical weapons). Germany [29] along with other Western countries (among them United Kingdom, France, Spain (Explosivos Alaveses), Canada, Italy and the United States) provided Iraq with biological and chemical weapons technology and the precursors to nuclear capabilities (Wikipedia).
The U.S. sold Iraq $200 million in helicopters, which were used by the Iraqi military in the war. These were the only direct U.S.-Iraqi military sales and were valued to be about 0.6% of Iraq's conventional weapons imports during the war. [30] Ted Keppel of ABC Nightline reported the following, however, on June 9, 1992: "It is becoming increasingly clear that George Bush Sr., operating largely behind the scenes throughout the 1980s, initiated and supported much of the financing, intelligence, and military help that built Saddam's Iraq into [an aggressive power]" and "Reagan/Bush administrations permitted — and frequently encouraged — the flow of money, agricultural credits, dual-use technology, chemicals, and weapons to Iraq." The Reagan Administration secretly began to allow Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Egypt to transfer to Iraq American howitzers, helicopters, bombs and other weapons. These shipments were done without the approval of the U.S. Congress and were in clear violation of the Arms Export Control Act as well as international law. [31] Reagan personally asked Italy's Prime Minister Guilio Andreotti to channel arms to Iraq. [32]
The United States, United Kingdom, and Germany also provided "dual use" technology (computers, engines, etc.) that allowed Iraq to expand its missile program and radar defenses. The U.S. Commerce Department, in violation of procedure, gave out licenses to companies for $1.5 billion in dual-use items to be sent to Iraq. The State Department was not informed of this. Over 1 billion of these authorized items were trucks that were never delivered. The rest consisted of advanced technology. Iraq's Soviet-made Scuds had their ranges expanded as a result. [33]
In December 2002, Iraq's 1,200 page Weapons Declaration revealed a list of Eastern and Western corporations and countries, as well as individuals, that exported a total of 17,602 tons of chemical precursors to Iraq in the past two decades. By far, the largest suppliers of precursors for chemical weapons production were in Singapore (4,515 tons), the Netherlands (4,261 tons), Egypt (2,400 tons), India (2,343 tons), and Federal Republic of Germany (1,027 tons). One Indian company, Exomet Plastics (now part of EPC Industrie) sent 2,292 tons of precursor chemicals to Iraq. The Kim Al-Khaleej firm, located in Singapore and affiliated to United Arab Emirates, supplied more than 4,500 tons of VX, sarin, and mustard gas precursors and production equipment to Iraq. [36]
The Germans built Mustard Gas facilities. One American firm supplied the chemicals to produce Sarin, another supplied tons of Mustard Gas.
Milking the wreckage
The more Abbott postures sickeningly about the downed plane his ratings take off and some people seem to be taken in by his grotesque milking the grief for the polls. Like many second rate politicians before he has found that heading for the front of the military parade works (pace Heller). The real wreck is the the movement of capital from the poor to the wealthy with his fake budget crisis.

Stem the flow of arms everywhere. There is surge of irrationality in international politics and a growth in cold war rhetoric. I have heard frequently that Russia invaded Georgia yet CNN on September 2009 - A report from an EU fact-finding mission determines that the 2008 conflict was caused by Georgia's illegal attack on the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali on August 7-8. http://www.ceiig.ch/Report.html
Russia offered to join Europe and America in a defence pact but was ignored. http://www.brookings.edu/research/articles/2012/12/us-russia-nato-arms-pifer
Crimea's voted for separation bit like Scotland.
Who trained Bin Laden? Where is IS getting its weapons?
Don't worry about Ebola the war virus is very busy killing millions and who profits from this murder?

Marble Madness is a 1984 arcade game by Atari, created by Mark Cerny. The game is an isometric puzzle game, controlled by a trackball, where you lead the eponymous marble to a goal while dodging obstacles through six courses with artwork inspired by M. C. Escher. The game also features two-player competitive mode.Not only was it the first Atari game to use the Atari System 1 hardware and be programmed in the C language, but it was also the first video game to use true stereo sound.Surprisingly, a sequel was in the works for release in 1991, but was cancelled at the prototype stage due to fear of it flopping against games such as Street Fighter II.Compare Gyroscope, Spindizzy, and Snake Rattle n Roll and decades later Super Monkey Ball.

Pointer Telocation Reports Q3 2011 Financial Results
Pointer Telocation's management will host today, Wednesday, November 30, 2011 a conference call with the investment community to review and discuss the financial results, and will also be available to answer questions.
The conference call will commence at 09:30 AM EST, 4:30 PM Israel time.
To participate in the call, please dial in to one of the teleconference numbers below. Please place your call at least 5 minutes before the time set for the commencement of the conference call.
From USA 1-888-668-9141; From Israel: 03-918-0609A replay will be available from December 1st, 2011 on the Company's website: http://www.pointer.com Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis: Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Pointer uses adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net income, financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, a non-recurring expense of $0.5 million, attributable to the Company's efforts to expand various services to Israeli insurance companies, and amortization including the effect of non-cash impairment charge related to the fair market value of Cellocator. We calculate non-GAAP net income by adding back to net income, non-cash equity based compensation, amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions and non-cash tax expenses resulting from timing differences relating to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our three most recent acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. Adjusted EBITDA and non GAAP net income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Michelle Paver Moves to Penguin UK
UK author Michelle Paver has switched from HarperCollins' Orion imprint to Penguin UK's Puffin imprint. In the United States, HarperCollins' Katherine Tegen imprint publishes Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series.
Publishers Weekly reports that Puffin will publish Paver's new series, Gods & Warriors. The books will be set in the Bronze Age period. The first book will be released in the U.K. in 2012. Penguin will also publish the book in the United States.
Peter Cox from Redhammer Management negotiated the deal. The article quoted Cox: 'The decision to move to Puffin wasn't taken lightly. [Their team] feels excited by the future, not daunted by it. This willingness to engage with the future–and indeed to make it their own–is the essence of today's successful publisher.'"

Cosmetic and Reconstructive SupportThe Cosmetic & Reconstructive Support (CRS) Program is the only direct service program that the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) offers to survivors. The NCADV works in partnership with a medical association to assist survivors of domestic violence who cannot afford the cosmetic and reconstructive surgery needed to repair the injuries they have received from a spouse or intimate partner. Facial plastic surgeons from across the country volunteer their services to assist survivors in removing the physical scars of abuse. To order an agency packet with reproducible brochure and application, call one of the toll-free numbers and leave your name, agency, mailing address and phone number. Download a CRS brochure here.
FACE TO FACE is a program that was started in 1994 by the Educational and Research Foundation for the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). The FACE TO FACE Program offers facial plastic and reconstructive surgery to domestic violence survivors to repair injuries on the face, head and neck caused by an intimate partner or spouse. The toll-free number for the FACE TO FACE Program is 1-800-842-4546.
If you are an individual and wish to apply, please call one of the toll-free numbers liste above and request an application. Speak slowly and clearly and leave the following information:
- Your Name (please spell your last name).
- Your Mailing Address including City / State / Zip Code (please spell the street name and the city).
- Your Phone Number including the Area Code (if you do not have a phone, leave a number that will take a message for you).

You may also download the applications:
Fill out pages 1-3 (please write neatly and use only blue or black ink) and then make an appointment with a counselor, domestic violence advocate, social worker or therapist. Bring the completed application to the counseling appointment and tell the story of the domestic violence you've experienced. Have the counselor complete the application on page 4, sign it and attach a business card.
Make a copy of the completed application for your own files in case it gets lost. Please mail ( DO NOT FAX ) the original completed application to: NCADV, One Broadway, Suite B210, Denver, CO 80203.
Please follow the instructions that come with the application.

Please do not send any documentation that is not asked for; it will be sent back to you. Once your application is correctly and completely filled out, you will be notified in writing that your application was received and forwarded to the medical associations.
Once the medical association has found a volunteer doctor or dentist available to take a case, the medical association will contact you with a referral to a facial plastic surgeon or a cosmetic dentist as close to you as possible (it usually takes 3-4 months to get a referral). You will then be responsible for calling and making the consultation appointment with the doctor.

Yikes! Well, a lot of my friends fit that description too.

Hrm, if this keeps up, you might even be able to convince me to stay up past 2
I use traktor 3, and reason 3.
I figure we'd just feel it out in terms of volume. if someone asks us to turn it down so they can sleep, try to accomodate them, but still keep the dancing going. and yeah, just small-ish powered speakers. shit, even a set of 2+1 computer speakers would do it.
It would be nice if the big groups could be organized and plotted out as to allow for maximum sleeping and partying (at the opposite ends of the spectrum). I felt bad for the sleeping group being sandwiched between the rest of us.
while dressed up in animal costumes, participants grope, fondle, and hump on each other for sexual gratification. no actual sex involved. Usually done in a group setting.
Peter "rabbit" and Jane "cat" fondled each other through their costumes while yiffing at a furry friends party.
Its like the Infinite Monkey Theorem, if you put X amount of monkeys in a room with a typewriter and ask them to give you Shakespeare 99% of them will fling their shit at you while the other 1% will masturbate in the corner.

Yesssss the dancing is about to come alive...and we can have some serious dance offs and crown the "Coachella DAW Camper of 2009." Everyone please purchase a pair of reliable dancing shoes!
*I call dibs on Salah being my dancing partner for the team championships
So, all the message board camping groups will have an official merge this year. Let our group be a lesson, as it gets closer do a sign up of sorts and an emergency contact phone number list. It's a safetly thing trust me, we lost one last year and though he was dead or something. Turns out he passed out on the other side of the polo field and didn't wake up until after evacuations and shit. Anyway it sure is fun watching this community grow.
If we do decide to all merge together I have a free sub message board created for more planning, details, post show pictures, things of this nature. I would just changed the title to 2009 Dance All Weekend
so far it's myself, windowliquor, and passivetheory. we've already got a DJ for each night of camping, and it's only september!
this is going to be awesome
I'm not so much of a dancer as much as a maker of other people to dance.
I'm pretty certain that's what happens when relationships come into play. Randy will be sweating up a mist while Ivy handles all the audio effects. How many want to see that?
Its like the Infinite Monkey Theorem, if you put X amount of monkeys in a room with a typewriter and ask them to give you Shakespeare 99% of them will fling their shit at you while the other 1% will masturbate in the corner.
so. I'm spinning ridiculous cross-genre cross-bpm mashups, windowliquor is going to pop some heads with his 303, passive theory is (I'm assuming) bringing the trip hop. and salah's bringing the glitter!
I'm bringing the Rainbow Power, I think Feather will supply actual glitter

Dwight Howard wants new teammates
It seems like Dwight Howard has some serious problems with his teammates' heart. (Boston Globe)
Dwight Howard (31 points, 13 rebounds) gave standard answers to most of the questions on how the Celtics beat the Magic, but he did give a couple of revealing answers about his own team: "Next year we've got to have guys that are willing to give everything they've got to get wins," said Howard. "In games like this or a series like this, it's not about skill or talent, because it's the Eastern Conference championship. Both teams are talented and skilled. It's about who wants it the most and who is willing to do it for a series. Those guys played like they wanted to win the championship the whole series. That's why they're in the position that they're in now." Howard added, "Everybody wanted to do it on their own. That's not what got us back to Game 6 ‑‑ this is Game 6. You know, just everybody wanted to do it by themselves. In a situation like this, you've got to keep fighting together."
It doesn't take Russell Crowe from "A Beautiful Mind" to understand that Howard's speaking about Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis. Orlando's two most talented offensive players, Carter and Lewis went MIA for the playoffs' third round. The disappearances of Carter and Lewis helped expose the Magic for what they were — dangerous front-runners and not much else.
When the Magic were winning, everything looked so easy. The ball would be moving, shots would be swishing, and defensive rotations would be impeccable. But give them a deficit, and it was an entirely different story. I don't know whether it was because they didn't have enough heart or because they were simply a poorly-constructed team, but the Magic struggled when they got down. They were like the hard-hitting heavyweight with a glass jaw: When they got quick knockouts they looked unbeatable, but when pitted against an experienced fighter willing to stand toe-to-toe the Magic wilted.
Everyone wilted, that is, except for Howard. Howard didn't advance to the Finals this season but he really proved himself as a player and competitor. It's always been easy to complain about Howard's competitive spirit — he's always smiling, so it's easy to use the smile as a convenient excuse to call out Howard's heart and wonder why he isn't snarling instead.
But this series, Howard was a warrior. He battled against four big bodies focused on nothing but being physical with him. A lot of Celtics fans will be upset about Howard's elbows (and those fans probably have a good point) but the bigger story was Howard's improvement. His team didn't win, but Howard grew up in this series. By Game Six, he was an unstoppable force even against a Celtics frontcourt designed almost perfectly to stop him.
Say what you want about Howard's smile, but at this point of his career all it does is hide the fierce competitor underneath.
4 Responses to "Dwight Howard wants new teammates"
plain and simple carter and lewis must be more efficient, consitent and assertive in the offence( especially carter because lewis depends on him and nelson) from game to game. nelson and howard played thier hearts out, nelson struggled but had an amazing playoff run.
you could see vince trying to get himself going and takeover but he just couldnt string made field goals together consistently. i dnt think they should change too much next yr, make a decison about brandon bass, resign or extend reddick and barnes.

if howard developed a more extensive offensive game he wouldn't have to rely on team-mates giving him alley-oops to get 3/4 his points. i know he scores 30 sometimes, but thats either against a poor matchup/someone who doesnt know how to defend him or when 20 of those points are from alley-oops or open dunks…

"The best stuffing I have ever made or eaten. I made this last year for two different dinners, and didnt come home with any leftovers. I am making it again this year for a big group of single Marines that me and two other Marine wives are cooking dinner for and I am sure they will love it!""
