Kirby's Private Dining
When Scott Schymik left high school, he didn't know what he wanted to do with his life. But after a couple of years of college, and waiting tables to make some money, he found his calling.
In 1996, he began working at Kirby's Private Dining as a waiter. After just three months, he had the chance to learn from Kirby's master chef, Horst Galow.
It was then everything fell into place.
"Horst was a wonderful teacher, and I followed him around this kitchen and soaked it all in. It was like getting a one-on-one culinary education."
In 2005, after Galow's death, Schymik bought Kirby's and set out to maintain the private facility's reputation. A little more than a year ago, Jason Watson came on board as sous chef.
Other than dishwashers and servers, the kitchen is all Schymik and Watson. It was the two of them who created, taste-tested and decided upon the three Chefs Challenge dishes.
"These are a bunch of things we've never made before," Schymik said.
"We used our (catering) menus, but since we don't use recipes, we didn't have a file to go through. We just looked at the five requirements, decided we had to come up with one dish that used all five ingredients, and then got started.
"It's a lot of fun to have someone give you specific ingredients and you have to come up with a menu of foods you've maybe never put together before," Schymik said.
The 3-Layer Steamroller was "pretty labor intensive," he said.
"The risotto had to be just the right consistency. The veal, which had to be very flat and pounded, had to be rolled just right (three times) around the asparagus — but it turned out the way I wanted it to."
Watson said he was pleased with all three dishes because there were so many great textures and contrasts.
"The dessert, the pistachio crisps with the blood oranges and goat cheese — what a totally unexpected flavor!"
Schymik went from being a waiter to a kitchen assistant three months later when there was an opening in the kitchen.
"I had been serving the food, so I knew the quality," he said. "But even being there (to serve dinners), I couldn't believe what was coming out of this kitchen.
"I was looking for what I wanted to do — and after working in the kitchen with Horst for a week, I knew this was it."
Kirby's has an extensive menu of items Schymik and Watson can create for private parties, wedding receptions and special events. Traditionally, the doors have been open to the public a few times a year, but Schymik is expanding his calendar.
"We're going to do have monthly events — with reservations because seating is limited," he said.
There's now a "Third Thursday at Kirby's" dinner (call 422-2230 for reservations) as well as Easter and Mother's Day brunches planned.
He and Watson also participate in "a lot of fund-raisers, things we really believe in for the city," Schymik said. "Funk in the City is our little corner of Downtown, so we're glad to be part of that one."
Watson has been with Kirby's for a little more than a year — after "seeing how delicious the food was" at his own wedding reception.
"I went through the culinary arts program at Vincennes University, and had worked at five other restaurants," Watson said. "The DiLegges are part of my family; Gina (DiLegge, chef at the restaurant, DiLegge's) played a huge role in my career. So I've had a lot of experience," Watson said.
"Everybody has their own ways of doing things in the kitchen, but this is just the best situation I've ever been in."

"(Name)?" You turned your face from the chocolate and romantic movie to meet the bright blue eyes of your little brother, "What?" He tilted his head, blond hair defying gravity and not moving, "Why are you eating so much candy? Mom says it's bad for- Are you crying?!"
Matthias quickly ran over and jumped on your (f/c) couch, landing on his little 7 year old feet, "Did somebody hurt you?! Are you okay? Do I need to kill somebody?!"
His tiny hands gripped your face and wiped the very few tears that escaped your (e/c) eyes, his usual grinning face was now serious and admittedly, a bit intimidating.
You chuckled at his concern and ruffled his hair, answering, "Nah, Denny, this movie is pretty sad and also reminds me I'm 16 and is single on Valentine's Day." Sighing, you turned off the movie and moved the candy off your lap and onto the couch, oblivious to Matthias's curious stare until he spoke, "What is Valentine's Day? When I asked at school, they said it was a day of love and mushy stuff like that." He stole a chocolate kiss and devoured the poor little confection.
You pondered about how to answer him, "Well... I guess that's right. It's called Valentinsdag in Denmark in case you wanted to know, by the way. It's a day where people show their love to their friends, boyfriends or girlfriends, family, wives or husbands, and blah. Mostly, it's romantic and based on your crushes and to treat your "Valentine" which is somebody you love very, very much. Understand?" Matthias nodded before pulling you out off the couch, demanding to go out to eat.
"Do you think this will work?" Alfred asked Matthias as they watched (Name) stand in line to order in McDonalds. Matthias nodded, his eyes gleaming in determination; he and Alfred were planning on getting their big siblings, (Name) and Arthur, together. They sat in a table where Alfred and Arthur were, though the Brit was in the bathroom.
"Den-Den! Where are you?" The (h/c) haired girl called, looking around for the young Dane. Matthias waved at his sister, gesturing her to come over there. "I found Alfred here! Can we eat with them please?" Soon two teary blue puppy dog eyes were gunned at you and was super effective, "...Fine. Only if Arthur is okay with it-" "Okay with what, love?" (Name) jumped at the sudden voice and nearly dropped the food, Matthias quickly took the tray from her and sat back down as Alfred giggled.
"T-they are asking if w-we can sit together. Is that o-okay?" The girl stuttered slightly, blushing a light pink. Flushing a bright red, Arthur nodded quickly as he slid down into his seat and (Name) settled into the plastic chair next to his. Soon enough, all you can hear from the table was laughing and talking as the teens conversed about school, friends, interests, and what not. The younger boys watched with bright grins, munching on their food.
The American whispered to the Dane, "Are you sure you are okay with this? I mean you are usually pretty protective of her." Matthias cast a look at his sister's happy expression and listened to her giggles and laughs. He remembered when she got her heart broken for the first time when she was about 14 and he 5; he decided that he wasn't going to let nobody make her cry and hurt her like that again. "Yeah, as long as he doesn't hurt her, I'm fine... Can I have some of your chicken nuggets?" "Then give me some of your fries." The boys traded food and talked about heroes and school.
"Erm, are you busy this weekend? If not, would you like to join me to the movies?" Arthur asked as they were walking out, he directed his green gaze to the ground. Giggling, she threw her arms around him, "Of course! Text you about it later, I got to go before my mom kills me." Placing a quick kiss on his cheek, (Name) grabbed Matthias's hand and ran off, waving at them.
As you both were walking home, you suddenly turned to the boy next to you, "Thank you."
"F-For what? I didn't do anything! YOU HAVE NO PROOF!" He tried to lie, but stopped when you scooped him up and hugged him tightly. "Yes, you did. You planned that, I know you...Thanks for helping, lillebror, jeg elsker dig." He smiled brightly and pushed his small face into your soft hair, wrapping tiny arms around your neck. Matthias rested his head onto your shoulder as you carried him, he watched the sun begin to sink. You petted his hair, singing quietly a lullaby as you reached your street; he really loved the sound of your voice and nearly fell asleep before remembering something.
"Hey, søster?" You paused in singing to show you were listening, "Will you be my Valentine? You're the person I love very, very much!" From where he was, he couldn't see the tear of happiness that dripped from one of your eyes and flowed down your cheek. You hoped he would stay this innocent and adorable for a few more years as you answered, "Of course, Denny! Now let's go see if Dad ate all my chocolate again."
Matthias giggled as he watched you try to wrestle the last chocolate from your father. 'Jeg elsker dig, søster,' he thought happily.

Blue bird nest on rain barrel
My husbands father built us a bird house and I had it sitting on my rain barrels by my front porch until I could figure out where I want it. Well, I spotted eggs in it over the past few weeks and now there are babies.
My concerns are #1 every time we come around from the back or come in or out the front door the mama flies out of the nest. I don't mind that she does that but I do worry that we are worrying her to death. #2 the environment.. when it rains, the house it sitting under a gutter that spills over sometimes and the top on the house isn't solid and underneath the water puddles up in the rim of the barrel. The bottom isn't so much a concern because I'm pretty sure it doesn't get deep enough to get into the house. Anyway, when it is sunny, it is hot as sin up there and the rain barrels produce a lot of humidity. Is this nest going to be okay there? Should I leave it there no matter what happens or should I try to slowly move it until it is in a shadier spot? I have about two feet of concrete behind the rain barrels that stays dry and is shady/more private but it would have to go on the ground for those conditions to remain. I would think the mama could find the bird house by listening for the babies but they are not making any noise yet. The only way I know they are in there is that there little mouths pop up every now and then lol.
Anyway.. any information would be greatly appreciated. Just don't know too much about birds except you are not supposed to touch them.
Actually, bbirds are one of the ones that will not only let you touch but handle their babies. But that aside, they will only be in the nest about 15 days. She sat in there for 15 days or so to incubate them, so she's aware of the conditions. It's to be cooler next week, and by that time i'd guess they'll be more than halfway to fledging. i think i'd just leave them be. is there anything you could attach way over the box to divert the rain gully for a few days? I don't think you'll worry her to death- they come & go pretty much constantly to feed the wee ones anyhow. When it *might* be detrimental is at night. I don't know if it's true but i read in a book that a mom bird, if scared away at night won't return to her nest that night. That could potentially kill the wee ones by their temp dropping too much. That said, i'm not so sure i buy that line of thinking- i know lots of folks who've had nests built in plants right by or in wreaths on their front doors and they managed ok. Not bbirds, but still. They get very acclimated to people being around.
lol.. that is what my husband pretty much said.. about her being aware of the environment.
I was thinking I could tack some contact paper over the cracks in the top but that would keep the hot air from escaping through the top. It'll be on my mind until I figure it out though so I will figure out something.
I came out one day when it was raining and the poor thing flew out into the rain and sat all soaked in one of my hanging plants under the porch until it quit raining. That's the new rule in the house lol.. if it is raining.. nobody is allowed to open the door. How long do you think after the babies come out would it be okay to move the bird house?
Thank you so much for all the information. I'm just a big dumb human that doesn't know what to do with all these babies when they show up in the Spring lol.
once the babies fledge, they are gone for good. They don't use the box after that. They will often use the same box for up to 3 subsequent generations in a summer, so once the activity has ceased, get that thing moved! Don't move it far (if you have a good spot) and don't clean out the nest and they very well may come back. The neat thing with blues is that the 1st gen of babies help to feed their subsequent sibs as the summer rolls on. Too cute.
OIt takes 14 days for eggs to hatch. For first 12 days, you can even look at the babies. For days 12-21, if you startle them too much, the babies will fledge too early and likely die. I found a snake on the bird house post, so I would worry about predators. This is our first experience, so I've been asking lots of questions.
Once everything can be moved I can actually empty the rain barrel and move the whole barrel back behind the others where it is completely under the roof and the plants on my rain barrels will provide some shade so it doesn't get so hot in there.
The bird house was made to house birds but it isn't like the ones that have panels and such that you can open up and clean out etc. It is sturdy and very heavy for its size so I don't know. I was thinking of plugging it up but they have built nests in worse places. I'm thinking of buying a bird house to replace that one with that is specifically made for them... we have bluebirds nest somewhere between the houses every year and this is the first year it hasn't been in some strange place. Last year it was in a hanging basket type door arrangement at the neighbor's house. I don't know, it's just one of those things. I love the birds and I am grateful they like hanging out but I try to let nature do what it does, even if it isn't pretty sometimes. On that same note, if they are going to insist on nesting, I feel like the least I can do is provide a reasonable place for them to do it lol.
Anyway, thanks again for all the helpful information. Hopefully they will be okay in there for now once I figure out the overhang thing!
It is the most amazing thing if you get box you can open and see the babies or handle them each day to see the startling amount of growth/changes every single day! Our boxes are right under the power line and the parents will sit on the line and watch us and sometimes chirp, but they are a- ok with their babies being handled as long as you don't let them get chilled and are gentle. I learned the hard way to stop trying to hold them after 12 days when i made one batch fledge early. Kept trying to put them back in, but it was too late and the parents really got mad about that. I don't think we've ever had a nest that went much beyond 16 days though, so it's interesting that they are supposed to stay in 21 days. I don't even open the box after day 12.
Yes, predators love blues (any baby bird). When you figure out where you want to put a house, make sure cats, coons or snakes can't get to it. Grease the pole or use a baffle or mount the box in such a way that nothing can get in. BTW, the big boxes sell very reasonably priced cedar blue houses- like $12 last i looked. You may very well get some competition from titmice or chickadees- they all like the same size, so you could get multiples and hang them (titmice are the fiercest mamas- they won't budge and will hunker down and hiss at you!). Blues happily nest close to the others but won't nest close to their own kind. And they love to have a choice of boxes. Some years i've had 3 out of my 4 boxes full. The only ones you may want to evict if the get into the box would be the alien house finches. Knock on wood, i've never had it be a problem, but have head from others that it can be.
Yeah, we will definitely need to find ways to secure the box once the birds are out of it. I have this weird karma thing going on here and don't want to jinx myself by talking about the pests we don't have. Sure as I say it, it'll be a problem in the near future lol. I know we do have snakes abound though!
So I guess they should be okay. We don't get a lot of company so even though it is out front, not a lot of traffic flows through there. When it gets around that 12 day mark (I think we are on day three of them hatching)we will just come and go as little and as quietly as possible and give the box a wide berth.
That's odd that they would be more comfortable around different birds but not their own. I'm sure they have their reasons though lol.
ah! Makes sense. No worries- i was just surprised since none of my nests have taken that long. So you were told to clean between each batch? I never heard/read that and my bb's have just top dressed a bit before and used the same nest as many as 3x in one season if they were happy. Wonder if that's to keep parasites/vermin down. i figured i was saving them a little trouble but maybe i was causing some. The 'dees and titmice build a higher nest than the blues do, so once they are done i usually clean theirs. I had heard it was dangerous predator wise if they got too close to the hole. I always clean them out in winter or early spring for the next year no matter what, though.

Chest pain is a very common complaint. Pain may be sharp or dull, although some people with a chest disorder describe their sensation as discomfort, tightness, pressure, gas, indigestion, burning, or aching. Sometimes people also have pain in the back, neck, jaw, upper part of the abdomen, or arm. Other symptoms, such as nausea, cough, or difficulty breathing, may be present depending on the cause of the chest pain.
Many people are well aware that chest pain is a warning of potential life-threatening disorders and seek evaluation for minimal symptoms. Other people, including many with serious disease, minimize or ignore its warnings.
Many disorders cause chest pain or discomfort. Not all of these disorders involve the heart. Chest pain may also be caused by disorders of the digestive system, lungs, muscles, nerves, or bones.
Overall, the most common causes of chest pain are
Acute coronary syndromes (heart attack or unstable angina—see Acute Coronary Syndromes (Heart Attack; Myocardial Infarction; Unstable Angina)) involve a sudden blockage of an artery in the heart (coronary artery) that cuts off the blood supply to an area of the heart muscle. If some of the heart muscle dies because it does not get enough blood, that effect is termed a heart attack (myocardial infarction). In stable angina, long-term narrowing of a coronary artery (for example by atherosclerosis) limits blood flow through that artery (see Angina). This limited blood flow causes chest pain when people exert themselves.
Some causes of chest pain are immediately life threatening but, except for heart attack or unstable angina, are less common:
Other causes range from serious, potential threats to disorders that are simply uncomfortable.
People with chest pain should be evaluated by a doctor. The following information can help people decide when evaluation is needed and help them know what to expect during the evaluation.
In people with chest pain or discomfort, certain symptoms and characteristics are cause for concern. They include
Although not all causes of chest pain are serious, because some causes are life threatening, the following people should see a doctor right away:
These people should call emergency services (911) or be taken to an emergency department as quickly as possible. People should not try to drive themselves to the hospital.
Chest pain that lasts for seconds (less than 30 seconds) is rarely caused by a heart disorder. People with very brief chest pain need to see a doctor, but emergency services are usually not needed.
People who have had chest pain for a longer time (a week or more) should see a doctor within several days unless they develop warning signs or the pain has steadily been getting worse or coming more often, in which case they should go to the hospital right away.
Doctors first ask questions about the person's symptoms and medical history and then do a physical examination. What they find during the history and physical examination often suggests a cause of the chest pain and the tests that may need to be done. However, symptoms due to dangerous and not dangerous chest disorders overlap and vary greatly. For example, although a typical heart attack causes dull, crushing chest pain, some people with a heart attack have only mild chest discomfort or complain only of indigestion or arm or shoulder pain (referred pain—Fig. 1: What Is Referred Pain?). On the other hand, people with indigestion may simply have an upset stomach, and those with shoulder pain may have only sore muscles. Similarly, although the chest is tender when touched in people with musculoskeletal chest wall pain, the chest can also be tender in people who are having a heart attack. Thus, doctors usually do tests on people with chest pain.

Other disorders
Pain in the chest wall,§ including the muscles, ligaments, nerves, and ribs (musculoskeletal chest wall pain)
Tenderness in one spot on the chest
Only a doctor's examination
Pain that is
Herpes zoster infection§
Sharp pain in a band around the middle of the chest but only on one side
A rash of many small blisters. sometimes filled with pus, in the painful area and sometimes appearing only after the pain
*Features include symptoms and the results of the doctor's examination. Features mentioned are typical but not always present.
†For most people with chest pain, the oxygen level in blood is measured with a sensor placed on a finger (pulse oximetry), ECG is done, and a chest x-ray is taken.
‡Warning signs include
§Unless otherwise described, causes are usually not dangerous, although they are uncomfortable.
CT = computed tomography; ECG = electrocardiography.
For adults with sudden chest pain, tests are done to rule out dangerous causes. For most people, initial tests include
If symptoms suggest an acute coronary syndrome or if no other cause is clear (particularly in people who are at high risk), doctors usually measure levels of substances that indicate heart damage (cardiac markers) in the blood (at least two separate times over a few hours) and do repeated ECGs. If these tests do not show an acute coronary syndrome, doctors often then do a stress test (see Stress Testing) before people go home or within a few days. For a stress test, ECG or an imaging test (such as echocardiography) is done during exercise (often on a treadmill) or after a drug is given to make the heart beat fast.
If pulmonary embolism is suspected, computed tomography (CT) of the lungs or a lung scan is done. If pulmonary embolism is considered only somewhat possible, a blood test to detect clots (d-dimer test) is often done. If this test is negative, pulmonary embolism is unlikely, but if the test is positive, other tests, such as ultrasonography of the legs or CT of the chest, are often done.
In people who have had chest pain for a long time, immediate threats to life are unlikely. Most doctors initially do only a chest x-ray and then do other tests based on the person's symptoms and examination findings.
Specific identified disorders are treated. If the cause is not clearly benign, people are usually admitted to the hospital or an observation unit for heart monitoring and more extensive evaluation. Symptoms are treated with acetaminophen Some Brand Names TYLENOL or opioids as needed until a diagnosis is made.

Blame "True Detective," in part, which helped kick off 2014 in rousing fashion, but the blurred line between "limited series" and just plain old series has complicated the definition of a "drama." But for the purposes of a year-end list, the two can coexist, encompassing any program presented on an episodic basis, even if the story offered closure.
By that measure, both "True Detective" and "Fargo" — the latter categorized as a miniseries for Emmy balloting — as well as Starz's "The Missing" can join an array of dramas that, frankly, could easily fill a "top 20" list. But who on Earth has time to click through that?
Obviously, reducing the current age of drama to an arbitrary tally is going to overlook several heavy hitters, and the roster underwent considerable tinkering right down till the end. Series like "The Walking Dead," "Mad Men" and "Downton Abbey" – -which all would have qualified in the past –- didn't, »

Frontera, 2014.
Directed by Michael Berry.
Starring Ed Harris, Michael Peña, Eva Longoria, Amy Madigan, Aden Young and Seth Adkins.
An illegal Mexican immigrant gets accused of murdering the wife of a former sheriff while crossing the border into Arizona.
In an effort to seek a better life in America, two Mexicans take a well-known passageway for illegal immigrants to Arizona where they encounter a woman riding a horse. Pleasantries are exchanged between them and they go their separate ways only to be fatally brought together again. Three high school boys have some fun shooting at the new arrivals in an effort to scare them away only to accidentally kill the lady who turns out to be the wife of a former sheriff. One of the Mexicans gets charged with the murder; however, the husband of the victim begins his own investigation as he has doubts about the guilt of man being held in custody. »

A sheriff goes out to investigate the death of his own wife, and stumbles across a handful of bullets that he believes can be used as evidence in our exclusive clip from the upcoming modern day Western drama Frontera. But a sudden gun blast reveals that there's more to this story than meets the eye. Ed Harris stars as Sheriff Roy, who discovers that a Mexican immigrant (Michael Peña) in the U.S. illegally may be responsible for his wife's demise.

Note: This interview with Aden Young about the season-two finale of Rectify (obviously) contains show spoilers up through the season-two finale, which aired last night.Was Daniel's confession real? Rectify star Aden Young, who plays the former Death Row inmate, isn't sure. In last night's second-season finale, with his freedom hanging in the balance, Daniel pushed back hard on allegations that he raped and murdered his girlfriend 20 years ago before ultimately saying he did it. Vulture talked to Young about whether even Daniel knows what happened, and why he believes Daniel might still be guilty. It seems like Daniel finally remembers what happened the night Hanna died. How long have you known or suspected that he did not, in fact, kill her? Well, who says that he didn't? [Laughs] That was my hopeful reading.No, Daniel's in a predicament. His family's falling apart because of his reemergence into it. »

Aden Young didn't garner an Emmy nomination for "Rectify," but after Thursday's second-season finale, is it too late to put knighthood on the table? The SundanceTV series has already been renewed for a third season, and thank the Lord for that, given the untidy nature of how the latest cliffhanger wrapped up. But after its fleeting six-episode introduction, the second has made clear that series creator Ray McKinnon's tightly constructed drama was no fluke, but rather deserving of a seat alongside TV's best.
The central moment in the finale (and Spoiler Alert, by all means, if you haven't watched) involved Aden's Daniel meeting with authorities, ostensibly to offer a plea agreement that would finally put to rest the murder that placed him on death row for 19 tortured years, before his belated liberation. Yet as "Rectify" has made clear time and again, there are all kinds of prisons, »

Before he was the creator of one of TV's most beautiful and emotionally powerful dramas in Sundance's "Rectify," Ray McKinnon was a character actor. And because I'm so used to watching his long, scarecrow-like frame pop up in films and movies, I never thought of "Rectify" protagonist Daniel Holden — a former Death Row inmate whose conviction is overturned, and who is embodied by an actor (the terrific Aden Young) with no physical resemblance to McKinnon — as an avatar of his creator. Even when I interviewed McKinnon before "Rectify" premiered, I was looking at the man who had played Reverend Smith on "Deadwood," Linc Potter on "Sons of Anarchy," etc. Yesterday — in between the great news that Sundance had ordered a third season of "Rectify" and the airing of tonight's season finale (my review is here) — I got on the phone with McKinnon, who was vacationing in Europe.

"Rectify" just wrapped up its second season, a couple of days after Sundance ordered a third. I spoke briefly with Ray McKinnon about the season, and I have a review of the finale coming up just as soon as I hoard food under stress... "It's not complicated. I just want it to be over, Jon. Don't you?" -Daniel I watched "Unhinged" a few days before the renewal announcement, and instantly thought of how angry I would be if Sundance hadn't renewed it, not only because the show is so wonderful (and such a perfect example of what Sundance should be aspiring to make and promote), but because the episode doesn't remotely work as a series finale. Season 1's finale would have worked as an ending — albeit a very bleak one — to Daniel's story if Sundance had never ordered more. "Unhinged," on the other hand, leaves so much up in the »

There's no love lost between step brothers Daniel and Teddy, but a surprising olive branch is extended in the season 2 finale of "Rectify."

As the first original series from SundanceTV, Rectify was something of a gamble on the part of the network. Premiering on April 22 2013 with six episodes, however, the drama quickly established itself as a critical success, winning loyal fans and avid followers. Season two followed on June 19 2014, and is about to wrap after 10 episodes. Fans need not worry, though, as the show has now been renewed for a third season.
The premise of the series is simple, but with endless possibility for exploration. The story focuses on Daniel Holden who, as a teenager, was convicted and imprisoned for the rape and murder of his 16 year old girlfriend, Hanna. 19 years later, new DNA evidence proves his innocence and he is freed. His attempts to adjust, and the attempts of those around him to do the same, form a character study within a Southern Gothic tale.

Sundance has ordered a third season of "Rectify," one of the very best shows on television – and a series that likely couldn't survive anywhere but on Sundance. "Rectify" tells the story of Daniel Holden (Aden Young), sent to Death Row as a teenager for the rape and murder of his girlfriend, then released decades later after DNA evidence overturned his conviction on appeal. It focuses much less on the sensational aspects of that plot — or on plot in general, for that matter — preferring to look at the emotional and spiritual impact of this man returning to a family, community and life he never expected to be part of again. The acting is marvelous, the characters gorgeously drawn, and while the pace is slow and contemplative, the rewards are enormous for those who have patience for it. The second season finale airs Thursday night at 9 on Sundance. Deadline's renewal story last »

Moment of yo time pls~Hey guys;So after a very long and eye opening conversation with my big sister, it came to my realization that I could seriously help her out with a few things.My sister Jessica actually had a huge impact on where my art is today, when I was younger I always looked up to her,wanted her approval,and wanted to make her proud of me as far as art went. But lately as we've been talking and coming to terms with each other, it's come to my attentionthat she really needs some motivation and recognition for her own work. She's really good with painting, pencil work,and on top of that she's REALLY good at crafting with woods, glass, sculptures, etc etc. So I've decided that I should give her a shout out so justmaybe she'll be able to break a little from her shy bubble andhave an audience and so then she could start drawing again!I care about her alot and know just how much her work means to her, she hasn't posted that much on the internet from what she's don

(KMOV.com) - Protesters gathered in downtown St. Louis Thursday evening for a moment of silence for Michael Brown, then part of the crowd marched towards Busch Stadium.
A group of about 100 people were chanting "We are Michael Brown" and "Hands up, don't shoot" outside the Cardinals game.
The rally originated near the Gateway Arch, where a large crowd was organized online by the National Moment of Silence.
"We've had time to express our rage, express our hurt and anger, but I don't think we've mourned the losses here," said organizer Chloe Ward.
St. Louis police officers look on as the crowd raised their hands in silence.
"It's just not African American people in Ferguson that's upset about what's going on, it's people of all color of all walks of life," said Alona Caldwell, who came from Dellwood.
"(Demonstrators) have to come with the right mindset," said St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson. "We're here to protect the rights of everybody. Whether we like the message or not, we're here to protect everyone's rights," he said.
Dotson said he talked with event organizers beforehand. Dotson also walked among the crowd shaking hands.

All eyes on China at the Frankfurt Book Fair
The guest of honor at this year's Frankfurt Book Fair (the world's biggest trade show for book publishers) is a huge figure indeed. In fact, with a population of one billion-plus, China is just about the most enormous honoree imaginable. But headlines tracking the celebrated guest are running mixed at best.
The Frankfurt Book Fair opened today. And as monstersandcritics.com notes, the Chinese delegation has "impeccable bragging rights – it invented printing first." There is a special display at the fair which tells the story of an inventor named Bi Sheng who devised the world's first moveable type system about 1,000 years ago.
But not all the fair's attendees are as dazzled by the historic implications. "China, the Unwelcome Guest" is the way Spiegel Online begins its coverage of the fair. The guest of honor, the Spiegel piece points out, is a country which ranks 167 out of 173 on the Reporters Without Borders's worldwide index of press freedom. It is also a country that bans about 600 books a year.

text: The Atlas wiki last edited by MarvelMan1985 on 06/12/13 07:13AM View full history OriginA Milwaukee, Wisconsin native, Erik Josten was a mercenary who gained superhuman strength after exposing himself to ionic rays at the urging of The Enchantress from the request of Baron Zemo. These were the same rays that gave Wonder Man his powers. He and The Enchantress partnered up for a short while. He took the name Power Man. During this partnership, Power Man and the Enchantress attempted to discredit the Avengers by tricking them into causing property damage, whilst remaining unnoticed themselves. Thanks mostly due to the Enchantress's magic powers, this was successful, and the Avengers were ordered to disband by a court. However, Captain America later managed to clear the Avengers' names by recording a confession of Power Man's that he and Enchantress had set up the Avengers, and Power Man gave up the fight after Enchantress left him, not thinking that he possessed the "killer instinct".Soon his partnership with The Enchantress would dissolve and his career as a professional supervillain began. At first, he teamed up with the Black Widow and the Swordsman. Eric often teamed-up with the Swordsman, even though these two were in constant competition with each other. The two men would often fight the Avengers or Captain America as hired help. After finding out that Luke Cage had been calling himself Power Man, Erik Joston decided to find him and force him to stop using the name. Luke Cage won the battle leaving Erik without his former moniker. He would go on to join many other supervillain groups such as several versions the Lethal Legion. Count Nefaria soon stole Josten's powers though, and left him to turn to commit crimes solo. He became the Smuggler and well, smuggled things. In his only appearance as the Smuggler, Josten was defeated by Spider-Man, and then later assisted by him in fighting the Maggia.CreationAtlas was created by Stan Lee and Don Heck and first appeared (as Power Man) in The Avengers #21 (1965).Mayor Story ArcsCriminal and acts of vengeanceLater on, Josten was given the ability to grow in size and strength from Pym Particles, administered by Dr. Karl Malus. Josten now called himself Goliath, and continued his solo villain career. He fought James Rhodes as Iron Man and the West Coast Avengers and the cosmically-powered Spider-Man. Josten even joined a team including Ultron, Man-Ape, Grim Reaper, and Nekra. After more unsuccessful criminal activities, Josten joined the fourth coming of the Masters of Evil, led by Baron Zemo. During his time there, Josten helped capture the Avengers Mansion as Goliath.ThunderboltsAs Atlas with the ThunderboltsJosten would become Atlas after the founding of the Thunderbolts. After finding that being in the public image as a good guy, Josten decided to do away with his evil doings, even after his past was revealed to the public. As Atlas, he soon absorbed an ionic bomb created by Count Nefaria. He became an energy creature, and took refuge in the body of Dallas Riordan. This energy gave Dallas the ability to walk again. Dallas left with the energy, and Josten was once again powerless. The Fixer soon gave him a new round of Pym Particles to restore his powers. After an Avengers/Thunderbolts series, Josten had his Pym Particles taken from his body, but was able to reclaim the ionic energy from Dallas Riordan to become Atlas again. Dallas became an agent of Homeland Security, and she and Erik broke up. Lonely and seeking purpose, Josten joined MACH-IV's new Thunderbolts, serving as the team's one-man support staff. However, when the alien [[Photon (Genis-Vell|Captain Marvel] (Genis-Vell) aided them against Fathom's Five, an overprotective Erik was irritated by Marvel's obnoxious attitude and his obvious romantic interest in MACH-IV's girlfriend, Songbird. Unobserved by his teammates and acting on instinct, a furious Josten assumed gigantic size and beat Marvel senseless, tossing him in the ocean to cover up his crime. His powers restored, Erik rejoined the Thunderbolts as Atlas; but his teammates worried about his growing emotional instability, notably a capacity for violent rage which increased dramatically when he used his powers. Investigating, Songbird discovered that Dallas was wheelchair-bound again, and that Erik had unwittingly and possibly irreversibly drawn the ionic energy out of her and back into himself. Songbird also learned of Erik's attack on Genis, who had since recovered and joined the Thunderbolts as the semi-amnesiac Photon. Later, during an extended conflict with the mind-controlling Purple Man, the Thunderbolts battled the Purple Man's pawn, a mysterious new Swordsman who sliced Atlas open, causing Josten to explode. Atlas was reduced to disembodied energy for ten days, during which the Scarlet Witch created a temporary, mutant-dominated alternate reality in which Josten was reborn as a heroic military man. This alternate reality and its version of Josten soon vanished, but Erik's memories of the experience helped give him new confidence once he finally managed to reintegrate his dispersed bodily energies.Atlas Growing in sizeHe regained physical form in time to rescue Songbird from the Purple Man's pawns and help the Thunderbolts defeat the Purple Man himself. Songbird, now team leader, told Erik what she knew about the Genis incident, but she assumed the Purple Man had mind-controlled Erik into doing it, and asked only that Erik apologize to Genis. Erik soon did so, but Genis pointed out that the Purple Man's powers are ineffective against ionic beings, and that Erik must have attacked Genis on his own. Josten admitted this was true, but Genis still forgave him and agreed to keep Erik's secret. This was partly because his own history of madness made him sympathetic to Erik's instability, and partly because he found it useful to have Erik in his debt. In the meantime, Atlas continues to serve with the Thunderbolts, who have begun working more closely with government officials. As a result, Erik has gotten amicably, albeit awkwardly, reacquainted with Dallas. She belatedly informed him of his brother Conrad's fate after learning of it through government records. Though that changed when Conrad was returned alive by Baron Zemo allowing the two brothers to begin their journey of healing their relationship. Following the aftermath of the Wellspring of Power battle, Erik used his powers to seal off the Wellspring but in doing so left him in a frozen and coma like state. The CSA is currently trying to revive him with Conrad at his side. Eventually, he was revived again by the CSA and had found that the ionic powers inside his body were divided between he and Dallas allowing her to continue to have her ability to walk and enhanced skills she once had as Vantage. Erik decided to sign up with the CSA but as a temp hero, working stores for the CSA until he was recruited by Nighthawk to be on his second team of Defenders along with Junta and Krang. He took another job as a blue collar worker following the disbanding of the team. He has been in constant contact with MACH V over rejoining the Thunderbolts.CharacteristicsEYES- None; replaced by containment spheres for unknown energyHAIR- RedWEIGHT- 225 IbsHEIGHT- 6 ft - 60 ft due to size manipulation (as he gains his height, he gains more strength. Josten also has super strength in his normal form. The mass comes from an alternate dimension, and is put back there when he returns to normal size. If he changes too quickly, he can suffer severe consequences, such as coma.)Other versionsEarth-58163In this reality Atlas is Major Erik Josten of the legendary Howling Commandos and does not have any of his powers. Here he is also working with the Human Underground Resistance. In an attempt to combat Private Vell and stop him from tearing apart their reality he come in to possession of an Atlas-Class Sentinel. After stopping Vell Josten is last reported driving a stolen vehicle outside of Phoenix.

Go in wintertime
Berlin in the winter is one of the more dispiriting tourist destinations in the Western world, with all the charm of a slightly more expensive Minsk. The sun sets around 4 or 5 pm and doesn't rise again until around 8 the next morning, and when you factor in the gloomy weather, that leaves a distinct lack of sunlight each January. Slush and mud fill the streets. But what's worst is the way the city looks when all the leaves have fallen. That East Bloc architecture, which seems retro-charming when veiled by summer foliage, becomes a sad collection of dirty high-rises when the greenery's gone. And the city's effort at painting the buildings' facades in Day-Glo colors just looks tacky.
Go in summer
Yes, you'll have a million backpackers competing for hotel space, but Berlin finds its groove in the sunny months. Flying in, you'll see how astonishingly green the city is. In midsummer, the sun doesn't go down until 11 pm and rises shortly after 3 am, giving the town a round-the-clock party feeling. Every café has its sidewalk tables out, letting you slide from café to bar to club without noticing the days go by. But before you're seduced into moving here (many summer visitors are), reread the paragraph above or you might find yourself cursing your choice come rainy November.

Do you realize just how sick he's been through the first three weeks of the season? This is the first time in NFL history a WR has put up three straight 100 yard games on a new team. At his current pace Randy Moss would finish the season with 117 receptions, 2,149 receiving yards, and 27 TD's. Now, I'm not expected him to put up those stats at all, and any combination of things could happen to slow his current production. That being said Moss performace through these first three games has been freakish.
I easily think Moss throws up 1100 yards and at least 10 TD's. Brady i think hits easily 40 TD's on the year.
Not true i'm just taking into account that Moss might not have games like this every week. Besides at least 10 TD's is not terrible to say its just saying that Moss might have the minimum of 10 TD's with a max of what his talent lets him have.

BB&T: Financial Winner
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- BB&T (BBT - Get Report) was the winner on Thursday among the largest U.S. banks, with shares rising 1.4% to close at $30.63.
Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Department of Labor reported initial unemployment claims for the week ended April 20 fell by 16,000 to 339,000, and that the four-week average for jobless claims declined by 4,500 to 357,000. Continuing unemployment insurance claims declined by 93,000 to 3 million. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had expected new claims to come in at 351,000, with continuing claims of 3.06 million.
The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) rose 0.5% to close at 56.73, with all but four of the 24 index components ending the session with gains.
Shares of BB&T of Winston-Salem, N.C., have returned 7% this year, following a 19% return during 2012. The shares trade for 1.7 times their reported March 31 tangible book value of $17.56, and for 9.9 times the consensus 2014 earnings estimate of $3.10 a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The consensus 2013 EPS estimate is $2.89.Based on a quarterly payout of 23 cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 3.00%. BB&T on Thursday issued $450 million in noncumulative preferred stock, with a coupon of 5.20%. The depositary shares have a par value of $25, and each represent 1/1000th of the company's Series G preferred shares, with a par value of $25,000. BB&T on April 18 reported first-quarter net income available to common shareholders of $210 million, or 29 cents a share, declining from $531 million, or 71 cents a share, in the fourth quarter, and $431 million, or 61 cents a share, in the first quarter of 2012. The first-quarter results were lowered by a previously announced $281 million adjustment "recorded in connection with an unresolved disputed tax liability." The adjustment lopped off 40 cents a share in earnings, after tax.
BB&T's tax adjusted first-quarter net interest income was $1.459 million, declining from $1.513 million in the fourth quarter, and $1.472 million in the first quarter of 2012. The sequential decline was "primarily due to covered loan run-off," according to the company. The net interest margin (NIM) -- the spread between the average yield on loans and investments and the average cost for deposits and borrowings -- narrowed to a tax-adjusted 3.76% in the first quarter, from 3.84% the previous quarter, and 3.93% a year earlier.

A 75 year old woman robbed a bank of 5 grand in Pittsburgh today.
She was wearing a STEELERS face mask to cover her face & was brandishing a black handgun.
I don't have any sympathy for any person that sticks a handgun into the face of any innocent person.
