The Miami Dolphins enter Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks with one thing on their mind….winning. After losing 3 straight games in ugly fashion, the Dolphins hope to get back on the winning track. The Dolphins were once talking about the playoffs, but right now, they must focus on winning one game and inching back towards the .500 mark.
Just like the Dolphins, we need to turn things around after a 1-1 (and a push) on Thanksgiving. Our Pitiful Picks record for the season is now 25-19, which simply isn't good enough! So here we go, with this week's edition of the Pitiful Picks:
Green Bay Packers +3 over New York Giants
The Packers are rolling and the Giants are reeling, having lost their last 2 games. However, for the last 3 seasons, the Giants have been 6-4 after 10 games, so this is nothing new to them. The Giants have a brutal second half of their schedule and will probably get pushed by the Redskins or Cowboys for the division, especially if they lose this game. They draw a tough opponent, as they welcome in Aaron Rodgers and the Packers tonight. The Giants secondary is pretty bad, but so is the Packers. I expect this game to be a shootout, even though Eli Manning has struggled of late. Eli usually plays his best when his team's back is against the wall. Having said that, I just don't think the Giants will be able to slow down the streaking Packers. Packers 34 Giants 31
Cleveland Browns +2 over Pittsburgh Steelers
Here's your upset special. The Steelers have Charlie Batch at quarterback this week and their offensive line is atrocious. Meanwhile, the Browns defensive front abused the Cowboys last week and hit Tony Romo on seemingly every play. I think the Browns, at home will pull off the upset over the injury rattle Steelers, relying heavily on their running game and Trent Richardson. Browns 19 Steelers 17 (cont'd on page 2, click below)

North to Alaska
As he cast his line out over the sparkling, pristine river he couldn't help notice the majestic purple, snow-capped peaks of Mt. McKinley framed by lush green Alaskan timberline. The air is crisp, the scenery a post card, and the salmon fishing -- out of this world.
It was a dream Steve Majors, from Spring Valley, woke up from more than once. An avid outdoorsman, Majors was fascinated with the notion of visiting what many outdoor enthusiasts consider paradise. His dream came to fruition this past summer as he packed his half-ton 4X4 Ford pickup on June 27 and headed north to Alaska.
"I left with no particular plans -- just to have fun," Majors said. Although exact destination points were sketchy, Majors researched the trip for nearly a year before venturing out and counted on books like the Milepost, a best-selling guide to Alaska, to give him pointers. "I highly recommend the Milepost to anyone thinking about traveling to Alaska," Majors said. "It's the Bible to the North Country."
Once on the road, Majors found that he didn't want to stop driving and logged 700-mile days. Day one took him to Williston, North Dakota. Day two to Airedrie, Alberta and day three to Fort St. Johns, British Columbia; on day four, Majors drove to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory.
"I was getting such a scenery rush that I didn't want to stop driving," Majors said. "I started keeping a journal of the wildlife I saw when I got on the Alaskan Highway -- black bear, elk, mountain goat, mountain sheep, moose, caribou, grizzly bear, lynx, coyotes, wolf -- I finally had to quit because there were so many."
When he did finally stop for the night, Majors alternated between motels and sleeping out of the back of his off-road pick-up -- a perfect rig, he says, for such a vacation.
On day five Majors reached Fairbanks, and decided to follow in the footsteps of earlier prospectors who waded the glassy streams panning for their fortune.
"I think I only ended up with enough gold to buy a postage stamp or two," Majors admitted, "but the experience was worth it." Another memorable excursion involved driving up a remote mountain in Hyder, Alaska to view the spectacular Salmon Glacier.
"It took nearly 25 minutes to get to the peak -- and there were no guardrails." said Majors. When his truck began pushing through thick clouds and visibility dropped to zero, he admitted becoming a little nervous. "I was on one of those kind of roads that if you went off the side, you'd probably never be seen again," he said.
Majors kept up his trek until he saw a sign that read: "Salmon Glacier, Proceed at Your Own Risk". "I really wanted to see the glacier I had heard so much about, so I kept on a little farther until I saw a sign that said 'Road Is No Longer Maintained'," he said. After helping a couple whose vehicle had become stranded on top with battery and brake problems, Majors eased his truck forward and back until he could make a safe turn and headed back down the mountain without so much as a glimpse of what he set out to see in the first place. A postcard would have to suffice.
His long trek was rewarded when he reached the base of the mountain, however. A movement a few yards away along the side of the road caught Majors� eye. It was a large grizzly bear feeding on a kill. "I stopped and watched it for a long time," said Majors, who took several photos from a safe distance. "I was close enough to smell him or whatever it was that he was eating," he said. "By the sounds of the bones crunching, I don�t think he was eating fish."
Sightseeing aside, what Majors really drove thousands of miles to do was fish. Starting out as a youngster fishing for bullheads in the iron mine ponds south of Spring Valley and in various trout streams throughout Fillmore County, Majors� focus this go-round was Alaska�s variety of salmon at their peak of spawning.
"Peak fishing is July 15 through the 30 when good sized runs of Sockeye and King Salmon come up the Kenai River," said Majors.
When the fishing is good, so is business for the small river towns. "Many of the small towns, like Soldotna, double in size during peak fishing season," said Majors, who fished alongside sportsman from Italy, Germany and Sweden. As fishermen lined the river�s banks casting and recasting in hopes of hooking a keeper, the fishing seemed almost synchronized, according to Majors.
"We all had the same goal -- to try to get your line inside the gulping mouth of a Sockeye Salmon," said Majors. "You can�t play out salmon like you do the fish around here. You have to horse them in and get them out of the fast current. When you get them hooked, you feel a tap and then you set the hook and your line begins to peel."
When you�ve hooked a 10 � 15 pound fish that�s pulling against you in a seven mile-per-hour current in glacial-fed water, it�s vital to keep steady footing, according to Majors. "You definitely don�t want to get swept in with your waders on," Majors said. During his trip, Majors landed more than 30 Sockeye Salmon, and admitted to losing more than twice that from snapped lines. The average size of each catch was 10 pounds.
While Majors was away from home, he kept in touch with family and friends via the Internet. He�d sign on at libraries in Soldotna, Anchorage and Homer. "Most allotted an hour of free Internet access per day," said Majors, whose Spring Valley relatives got e-mailed news of how the fish were biting at the same time as his sister who was living near Dublin, Ireland. "It�s a wonderful resource for travelers and a great way to break up the time between fishing," Majors said.
When his brother, Tim, also an avid fisherman, caught wind of the great fishing capers his younger brother was experiencing, he hopped a flight to join in the fun. The two brothers had several successful outings, landing a 44-pound King Salmon on the Kenai River in Soldotna and later, catching and releasing more than 100 Pink, Silver and Chum Salmon during six hours of fishing where the Little Willow River enters the Big Susitna. "I heard Tim say something that I never thought I�d hear � he was physically tired of fishing," Majors said.
But that wasn�t the end. The two rested up for their next big fishing trip to Homer, Alaska, -- the self-proclaimed quaint little drinking town with a fishing problem. They joined a charter in the "Halibut Capital of the World" and motored out 35 miles where they dropped anchor in about 150 feet of water. They picked up rods as stiff as pool cues rigged with 80-pound test line, a salt-water halibut hook and baited with a 14-inch frozen herring and a two-pound weight.
"Halibut are voracious bottom feeders so we were instructed to lower our rigs down slowly until our bait hit the bottom," Majors said. "When a fish hits, you feel a series of quick tugs, you set the hook and basically drag and pull, drag and pull, until you get them to the surface � it takes a tremendous amount of effort."
When the charter had their limit of "chickens" -- the name locals give to 15 � 30 pound halibut -- the captain pulled anchor and headed for kelp beds. "Our captain said, �we�re going after a couple of fatties�," Majors recalled. He then began mixing up a Halibut Cocktail � a burlap chum bag full of decayed salmon heads, frozen herring and octopus juice.
"It was a scene right out of Jaws," said Majors, who witnessed the smelly, oily concoction drift into the depths. It worked. Major�s rod started to jerk vigorously. "The captain knew it was a nice one," said Majors. The fire drill began. All other lines were pulled in as Majors worked, like he never has before, to land the monster on the other end of his line. The fish was so large it had to b

Gwinnett Daily Post
SNELLVILLE -- Erika Waters woke up, it was just too late.
Peachtree Ridge's senior point guard spent the first three quarter dishing out her game-high five assists while racking up four fouls and as many points.
But in the fourth quarter, with her team trailing by 11, she started to find her shot. She scored eight of her 12 points in the final quarter, but couldn't bring her Lions back in a 59-51 loss to Forest Park in the winner's bracket of the Deep South Classic.
"We put a lot of Erika," said Peachtree Ridge head coach James Clanahan. "She plays the whole game."
Waters didn't come out in the final minute of the first half after picking up her second foul and she came out only in spurts in the final minutes of the game as the Lions scrapped their way back with fouls and quick shots. Then, with less than 30 seconds left she fouled out. Waters' exit followed Brittany Jack's fifth foul and took the Lions two main scoring threats off the floor.
Jack scored a team-high 19 points and pulled down seven rebounds in the loss.
No other Lion reached double digits in scoring and, at times, Forest Park couldn't miss.
Jessica Anderson hit three 3s on her way to 13 points and Ashlee Cole led the all scorers with 21 points evenly scored over four quarters.
Cole scored in every way. She made her own shot off the dribble, she sank running layups, hit a 3 and made 6 of 8 from the free throw line.
"Their 3-ball was on," Clanahan said. "They can shoot the ball."
So can the Lions, but they struggled to find consistency against Forest Park. Even Jack and Waters missed open looks.
"She knows the big task at hand," Clanahan said of Waters.
Keyonna Allen scored 16 for Forest Park and dominated the inside with a pair of blocks and nine rebounds. Her presence make the Lions settle for jump shots and baskets came sporadically.
"We didn't shoot the ball well," Clanahan said. We're going to work on it. We're going to work to get better."

Speculation excites Santa Cruz
01 Jul 2009 - 09:47:13
New Manchester City signing Roque Santa Cruz hopes Mark Hughes can persuade Carlos Tevez and Samuel Eto'o to join him at Eastlands.
Despite signing Santa Cruz from Blackburn Rovers for £18million last week, Hughes continues to be linked with a host of world stars, including Tevez and Eto'o.
Paraguay international Santa Cruz welcomes all the speculation though and believes competition for a starting place will do him no harm.
The 27-year-old told The Sun: "I'd be happy if we signed Tevez and Eto'o.
"Tevez is a fantastic player - if he does come it will be such a great thing for the team because of the kind of player he is.
"He's a very hard worker. He does everything for the team and only wants to look good as long as the team is successful. If we get him it will be a big point in our favour.
"He is just the type of player the boss Mark Hughes likes - hard working with plenty of skills.
"It's the same with Eto'o. He's shown his quality at Barcelona.
"He scored in the Champions League Final against United so there is no need for me to talk about how good he is."

Andy Murray admits he will draw strength from his memorable grand slam victories against Novak Djokovic as he battles the Serb for a place in the US Open semi-finals.
Djokovic has a 12-8 record against his former world junior rival ahead of what will be their earliest meeting between the pair at a grand slam event.
But Murray has beaten Djokovic in two of their last three grand slam meetings, the 2012 final at Flushing Meadow – where Murray won his first grand slam – and last year's emotional Wimbledon final where the Scot became the first Brit in 77 years to win the title.
"They obviously will help," said Murray. "I wouldn't say in terms of getting confidence, it's just having that experience of playing those matches.
"They were both very long, tough matches, as well so I know that I can last those matches against him.
"But anything can happen in a couple of days. I'll just do everything properly and hope on Wednesday I play a good match."
Murray admits he is relishing the prospect of tackling the World No1 under the lights at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"I think that's really why we play the game," he said. "That's what you put the work in for, so that when you come to these events and you do have to play against the best players, you're ready.
"And as much as it's incredibly tough and challenging, that's what you enjoy. Playing on Wednesday night against the number one player in the world is exciting.
"If you aren't getting motivated or pumped for those matches, then that's when there's a problem and it's time to maybe stop."
Murray insists he will need to play to his absolute maximum if he is to beat the seven-time grand slam winner.
"He knows how to play on centre court at the US Open where he has played some great tennis and we've had some great matches," he added. "It's a very tough draw. I'm going to have to be playing my highest level in order to advance.
"I think he performs his best in the grand slams. He's been on and off this year but I think in the big matches, as the tournament progresses, he's still fit.
"He still plays very high-quality tennis. That's what I expect him to do."
Watch all the action from the US Open live on Sky Sports 3, with coverage from 4pm.

2013 Giro d'Italia: The Key Stages
Stage 9, May 12 – Sansepolero-Florence, 170km
5 / 11
Coming one day after the Giro's first ITT and a day before the race's first rest day, Stage 9 should feature riders more suited to one-day Classics. A route that will provide a preview of the course to be used for the 2013 World Road Race Championship, this 170-kilometer trek through the heart of Tuscany contains major challenges. Four categorized climbs are on tap, including the Category 1 Vallombrosa. The last climb of the day comes 10 kilometers from the finish and is the perfect launch pad for a punchy rider like Farnese-Vini's Oscar Gatto to try and escape for the stage win in downtown Florence.

Teams will miss african stars - Gerrard
Steven Gerrard believes that the African Nations Cup early next year could have a major impact on who wins the Barclays Premier League title, and work in Liverpool's favour. Liverpool do not have any African players amongst their front-line stars, while many of their title rivals will lose players for three weeks in January when the tournament is played in Angola. Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal all have key players who could be involved between January 10-31. Gerrard said, in a Liverpool fc.tv interview: "Everyone will have blips and some of the teams lose important players with the African Nations." Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti will be without Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, John Obi Mikel and Salomon Kalou, while Manchester City chief Mark Hughes will miss the services of summer signings Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure. Arsenal could be without duo Alex Song and Emmanuel Eboue for their showdown with Manchester United on January 30. "It's a long season, there are a lot of games and a lot football to be played yet," added Gerrard. "Chelsea, Tottenham and City have got off to good starts but there is a long way to go before you start predicting who will be up there at the end."

BOSTON – Well, that return to TD Garden didn't go very well, did it?
When you're a professional athlete, it's important to do everything possible to stay in shape and play at your best. It means having a great training regimen. It means having a healthy diet.
Andrew Shaw has no doubts that in the case of a seven-game playoff series, the Blackhawks could catch up to and defeat the league-leading Blues.
The St. Louis Blues are a pretty happy bunch. Easy to understand, really, considering where they're sitting in the Western Conference.
So few games remaining, so much ground left to gain.

The last time Kanye West and Charlie Wilson performed "Bound 2" on TV, it was a lavish spectacle. On Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, the Roots and a choir helped egg on the kilt-wearing rapper and the glowing R&B vet to formidable heights.
In their September 17 appearance on British late-night show Later... With Jools Holland, the two had to make do without the choir, and at least until the Yeezus rapper's closing Christ pose, the cameras mostly pulled up close on the performer's faces. In keeping with the "minimalism" West talked up ahead of the album, they demonstrate that less can be, if not quite more here, then at least remarkable in its own way. Fittingly, where the outsize Fallon take started with a non-LP dis toward Kim Kardashian's ex, this one merely revises the curtain-lowering "Jerome's in the house" with "uncle Charlie's in the house." Yup.
Also in the house: New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde, who performed her chart-scaling "Royals." Watch below.

Gilead Sciences Announces Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results
About Gilead
Gilead Sciences is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes innovative therapeutics in areas of unmet medical need. The company's mission is to advance the care of patients suffering from life-threatening diseases worldwide. Headquartered in Foster City, California, Gilead has operations in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Gilead has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and also on a non-GAAP basis. Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with Gilead's GAAP financial statements, because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of Gilead's operating results as reported under GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in the table on pages 7 and 8.
Forward-looking Statements Statements included in this press release that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Gilead cautions readers that forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include: Gilead's ability to achieve its anticipated full year 2013 financial results; Gilead's ability to sustain growth in revenues for its antiviral, cardiovascular and respiratory programs; availability of funding for state AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs); continued fluctuations in ADAP purchases driven by federal and state grant cycles which may not mirror patient demand and may cause fluctuations in Gilead's earnings; the possibility of unfavorable results from clinical trials involving sofosbuvir, the fixed-dose combination of sofosbuvir/ledipasvir, TAF and idelalisib; the levels of inventory held by wholesalers and retailers which may cause fluctuations in Gilead's earnings; Gilead's ability to submit NDAs for new product candidates in the timelines currently anticipated, including the fixed-dose combination of sofosbuvir/ledipasvir for the treatment of HCV; Gilead's ability to receive regulatory approvals in a timely manner or at all, for new and current products, including sofosbuvir for the treatment of HCV and idelalisib for iNHL; Gilead's ability to successfully commercialize its products, including Stribild and Tybost; Gilead's ability to successfully develop its respiratory, cardiovascular and oncology/inflammation programs; safety and efficacy data from clinical studies may not warrant further development of Gilead's product candidates, including sofosbuvir, the fixed-dose combination of sofosbuvir/ledipasvir, TAF and idelalisib; the potential for additional austerity measures in European countries that may increase the amount of discount required on Gilead's products; fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate of the U.S. dollar that may cause an unfavorable foreign currency exchange impact on Gilead's future revenues and pre-tax earnings; and other risks identified from time to time in Gilead's reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In addition, Gilead makes estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. Gilead bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. You are urged to consider statements that include the words may, will, would, could, should, might, believes, estimates, projects, potential, expects, plans, anticipates, intends, continues, forecast, designed, goal, or the negative of those words or other comparable words to be uncertain and forward-looking. Gilead directs readers to its press releases, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and other subsequent disclosure documents filed with the SEC. Gilead claims the protection of the Safe Harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to Gilead, and Gilead assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

View of Mount Aspiring National Park from Key Summit on the Routeburn Track
Mount Aspiring National Park (established in 1964) is a wonderful mixture of remote wilderness, high mountains and beautiful river valleys. It is a walker's paradise and a must for mountaineers. The views are endless and unforgettable.
There is a potential risk to trampers and anglers in the Young Valley

Heskey surprised at recall
03 Sep 2007 - 10:39:11
Wigan Athletic striker Emile Heskey has admitted his recall to the England set-up came as a complete surprise.
Heskey has been drafted into coach Steve McClaren's squad for the upcoming Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia.
The 29-year-old had been cast aside by former boss Sven-Goran Eriksson following Euro 2004, but believes his club form for the Latics over the past 18 months is deserving of an international recall.
The former Leicester City, Liverpool and Birmingham City hitman has scored just five times in 43 international appearances.
"It is a huge honour to be called up, but I have to admit it has come as a bit of a surprise to me," he told The Sun.
"I have gone on record as saying that I have never shut the door on England. However, it has been a long time between call-ups, so it is pleasing to be back.
"My only priority has been to do well with Wigan. I know that's a cliche, but it's true.
"But it's always been the case that if you are doing well for your club you have a chance of playing for your country.
"I have really enjoyed my football at Wigan over the last couple of seasons and that has shown in my performances.
"But I don't have any expectations other than to play my role as a squad player and do my best if called upon."

Bozeman , Montana
Tel: 406 587 7700
Concierge.com's insider take:
The smoke-free atmospherea rarity in live-and-let-live (and free-to-light-up) Montanais a favorite of Bozeman's younger crowd. You'll find young lawyers next to Montana State coeds in this lounge/grill/billiards hall, part of which is housed in a former railcar. The menu includes steaks and pasta, but the grilled sandwichessuch as the Val d'Isère, a Cajun-grilled chicken with zucchini, roasted red peppers, and melted Brieare mainstays. The fries, seasoned with pepper and Parmesan, are alone worth the trip. From the 40 microbrews on tap, we suggest the Mainline IPA, brewed by Blackfoot River Brewing in Helena.

Watch Lady Gaga's Epic 13 Minute Music Video for 'Marry The Night' [VIDEO]
Watch Lady Gaga's latest music video which was released by E! Online for 'Marry The Night' which she calls "autobiographical." The Grammy nominated singer has done it again in her directorial debut that will keep her fans, and the public talking for quite sometime. From the psych ward to retro dance numbers to nude scenes, this may be Gaga's greatest video to date.
Lady Gaga Confesses She Has 'Never Truly Felt Cherished By A Lover'
"I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna be a star. You know why? Because I have nothing left to lose," proclaims Gaga as she cries in a hospital bed. We then see a series of flashbacks including Gaga getting her Natalie Portman on as a ballerina, bleaching her hair in a bathtub and violently eating cheerios.
Watch Lady Gaga Sing Her Own Version Of 'White Christmas' [VIDEO]
"You may say I lost everything, but I still had my bedazzler," Gaga says after she's thrown a fit in a hotel room. Gaga told Vanity Fair the scene represents "the worst day of her life" when she was dropped by a record label early in her career.

Stop the Oppression of the Arts at Montrose
Montrose High School's schedule for the new school year involves changes. Four 42-minute lunch periods will now be 3 30-minute periods. 4 minutes in the halls will now be 3. Because lunches are shorter than the now 50-minute classes, they can't be dropped for more electives. Students who only have 2 or 3 electives will have to choose between foreign languages (which are accepted as important for college-bound students), and band or chorus. A student who has French and wants to take band can't take chorus, and vice versa. This is unfair; and I'm afraid it is another symptom of the slow choking-off of the music program in the Montrose Area School District. Sign this petition, and we may be able to stop these ridiculous and unnecessary changes before they start.

Top Critic Reviews
Fresh: In his first non-noir film, John Dahl, assisted by the great French lenser Jean-Yves Escoffier, gives New York's underground gambling scene a vivid atmopshere, with special attention to its particular rituals and fast macho talk.
- Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com, Thursday, June 24, 2010
Fresh: Rounders is not breakthrough material, but it makes for an entertaining evening out.
- James Berardinelli, ReelViews, Saturday, January 1, 2000
Audience Reviews
Matt Damon is Mike McDermott, a law student who makes his primary living as a rounder- a master poker player who makes the rounds from club to club making the big bucks. After losing it all to Teddy KGB, a ruthless Russian with mob ties played by John Malkovich, Mike gets out and vows to never return. Nine months later however, he finds himself drawn back when his childhood friend "Worm" (Edward Norton) gets released from prison and has to scramble to pay off a massive debt he accumulated prior to his incarceration. Despite his vow the urging of his girlfriend and fellow law student Jo (Gretchen Mol), and his better judgment, Mike buckles up and set out to do the only thing he's really good at, despite the risk. This film has garnered a reputation for being a sleeper hit, or at least a growing cult classic, and that's totally fine. Since Texas Hold 'Em has gotten so big since this film came out, that's probably a reason for why this one hasn't totally fallen by the wayside. It is a decent film with a good story, and, despite some contrivances and cliches here and there, the film is pretty grounded and realistic in its representation of the world of high stakes underground poker. Besides the names I've mentioned already, the cast also includes John Turturro, Famke Janssen, and Martin Landau. It really amazes me how they managed to pull together such an awesome cast. And thankfully, all of their combined talents are totally wasted, and they generally give some credible and solid performances. The film moves along at a decent pace, there's good atmosphere, and, like I said, the story's fairly decent. All in all, this might not be the greatest movie, but it's entertaining, well acted, and, despite being rather superficial, is still passable and worthy of a watch.

Brilliant film about the underworld of high stakes poker. Director's John Dahl's effective direction is what keeps you interested and the tone of the film that of a film noir, which adds so much to the film's atmosphere. The cast are wonderful in their parts, and the plot is very engaging, thrilling from start to finish. Edward Norton and Matt Damon are terrific here, and they both have intense on-screen chemistry. Rounders is a must see for poker fans, and with a well crafted script, great acting and a memorable cast of talented actor that star alongside Norton and Damon, this is an accomplished film that will leave you wanting to see it again and again. If you enjoy a thrilling story with effective direction and a great cast, this film is for you. Rounders reminded me of the Mars Callahan film Pool hall Junkies, but this was a much better acted film with a more developed plot. Enjoyable if you're a fan of poker and to the common film goers looking for a terrific flick that is sure to electrify the viewer. Well crafted from beginning to end, Rounders is a wild ride and even if it lacks in some areas, there's enough good elements at work on-screen that make the film overcome its flaws and with an effective pacing set by director John Dahl, this is a well executed hustler flick that is very cool to watch. With a great script and wonderful acting, Rounders is a film that you won't soon forget. Thrilling from the first frame onwards, Dahl's film delivers, and is never dull and highly entertaining. It

I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive.
I've recently found out that my partner cheated on me twice. We used to have to most perfect relationship ever (At least, I thought we did). When I asked for reasons to have done such thing, he simply said there were no reasons at all. I didn't know it ached this much. The pain seems to get harder and sharper every time I think about it (and I can't stop thinking about it). It's something like a movie that keeps rolling on in my mind. And i am disgusted, i don't think I can handle it. The only thing I can do is cry. He asked me for one more chance, and I gave him. I don't know what to do. I love him, but I don't think I'll ever be able to touch, kiss, hug, be with him again. I wish I could just get over it and move on...

Overcome by the power of memory, Ann Lord reveals a long-held secret to her concerned daughters: Constance, a contented wife and mother, and Nina, a restless single woman. Both are bedside when Ann calls out for the man she loved more than any other. But who is this "Harris," wonder her daughters, and "what is he to our mother?" While Constance and Nina try to take stock of Ann's life and their own lives, their mother is tended to by a night nurse as she journeys in her mind back to a summer weekend some 50 years ago, when she was Ann Grant--a young woman who has come from New York City to be maid of honor at the high-society Newport wedding of her dearest friend from college, Lila Wittenborn. The bride-to-be is jittery and turns to her maid of honor rather than her own mother for support. Ann stays close to her friend, yet is even closer to Lila's irrepressible brother Buddy. Unexpected feelings surge forth once Ann meets wedding guest Harris Arden, a lifelong friend and intimate of the Wittenborn family. Ann's love for Harris will change her life, and those of her daughters, forever.

Consensus: Beautifully filmed, but decidedly dull, Evening is a collossal waste of a talented cast.
The film disintegrates into an indulgent succession of intense, fawning exchanges that overwhelm Minot's thin and monotonous tale.
Full review…Evening's visual period splendour, its vivid characterizations and their comfortably clichéd relationships somehow draw us in and make us care.
Full review…Given its stellar cast -- including Vanessa Redgrave, Meryl Streep and Glenn Close -- and source material, it's hard not to think it should be better.
Full review…Even as I admired most of the performances -- and I do stress most of them -- I found myself searching in vain for one character to care about.
Though the filmmaking is uneven, Evening redeems itself in its marvelous cast, which echoes the movies' themes by showcasing two real-life mother-daughter acting duos.
Full review…Antiseptic bourgeois swank
Full review…If nothing else, Evening proves that there are such things as mistakes, by featuring two hours of bad choices and half-executed ideas.
Full review…Evening achieves a kind of wisdom, though it's a strange and bitter wisdom. The film arrives at a pessimistic and almost nihilistic view of life as something not very important -- and then invites us to take strength and comfort in the notion.
Full review…What's the difference between slasher films and chick flicks? In slasher films they suffer less, and they die quicker. Evening, bless its banal heart, is a chick flick in all its fatuous glory.

Knights Book 1
Posted in Manga Reviews on September 15, 2008 by Johannapublished by Digital Manga; $9.95 US
When I got a copy of this book, it took me a few minutes to figure out what its title was. That's really bad design. (KC's take: "he looks like a duck.") If you look closely, the image is even fuzzy.
Then I looked at the back cover, where it says, "Join the sword-fighting Mist and the scantily-clad Euphemia as they rip up the kingdom rescuing the helpless and battling corrupt clergy and fanatical saints…" and decided it wasn't for me. (Here's a real review if you're still curious.)
So why am I mentioning it? Because it seems significant in that it's the first book I've seen from Digital Manga at the typical $9.95 manga price point. Their books are usually slightly oversized with dust jackets at $12.95. Did I miss a press release? There's nothing on the company's news page (although the newest item there is from April). Is this an experiment or a new direction?

COLUMBIA — The task force designed to look at increasing adult technical education in Columbia and Boone County is planning its next steps and looking for money.
One source for the money could be a sales tax increase in Boone County.
Fourth Ward City Councilman Jerry Wade said state law would allow revenue from a new sales tax to help offset the cost of adult technical education programs. Wade said the amount of any new tax would be determined by a study group.
"We have a huge gap in our education infrastructure," Wade said. "We can't be successful if we don't fill this gap."
Technical education programs help train adults for various employment opportunities in the community. Classes include subjects such as computers, food service and business.
Raising county taxes is one way to pay for increased technical education. The idea came from the Columbia Chamber of Commerce.
Don Laird, Chamber president, said the group is just throwing out the idea.
The county will look at the issue and possibly put together another committee to investigate a sales tax increase.
"We think it's a good idea, but we know it's very early in the process," Laird said of the tax increase, which would be subject to approval by voters.
Boone County Commissioner Ken Pearson said the tax could be used for technical education under a state law that authorizes the use of sales tax revenue for job creation.
The task force also is considering whether to look for money through the federally funded Workforce Investment Network. But Pearson said a sales tax would be the best mechanism for funding adult technical education because it generates more revenue and allows more flexibility in spending.
Wade said the task force wants to ensure it takes no money from Columbia Public Schools.
"It's important that the school district have its forms of funding," Wade said. "The two are complementary, and we need both of them."
Members of the task force, which includes representatives of local government agencies and educational facilities, are working on a preproposal, which would include collecting interviews and data. Wade said this would be done by an objective outside company and will start only after the task force finds the money to pay for it.
The next step for the task force is to conduct a skills-gap analysis to learn what Columbia and Boone County employers think their training needs are going to be, said Arden Boyer-Stephens of the Columbia Area Career Center. Boyer-Stephens is a member of the task force. The career center is operated by Columbia Public Schools.
"We need some data first before we do anything else," Boyer-Stephens said.
The career center provides most of the technical training in the community and is involved in the task force because it wants to more fully meet the training needs of the community, Boyer-Stephens said.
Columbia School Board President Jan Mees said she thinks it's important that adult technical education be a collaborative effort between the task force and the school district.
Terry Smith, executive vice president and dean of academic affairs for Columbia College, is working with the task force to see if the college can offer adult technical education classes. Columbia College is giving input for the proposal from a liberal arts and sciences point of view.

People Buy Stuff

Posted to: Business/ Economic Development
For the first time in 10 years, cash registers are ringing inside a 9,000-square foot storefront near downtown's "100-percent Corner" for a steady stream of customers purchasing one-dollar toothpaste tubes, Fudge Graham cookies, picture frames, and Good & Clean dish detergent.
Nonstop, people were buying stuff, lots and lots of stuff, inexpensive stuff, inside a new dollar store on the first floor of an upscale apartment complex at the corner of Church and Chapel streets.
Looking to upgrade New Haven's central commercial crossroads, city officials had hoped that customers would be buying expensive clothing or other high-end retail inside that storefront instead of patronizing a dollar store. For years the building's owner tried to comply and sought to lure an upscale retailer. Every such retailer spurned the entreaties.
In the end the market spoke: the Dollar Tree chain fixed up the space and had a soft opening for a new outlet last Thursday. A month of more official "grand opening" events are in the works.
Despite the fears of civic leaders (click here to read about that as well as the broader debate about retail development on the block), first-time shoppers of all stripes gave the new store a thumbs-up during initial visits.
Feeling nauseated, and having a hunch why, Jennete Perez (pictured) came looking for a pregnancy kit. She found one that cost $1, as all the store's merchandise does. Along her way through the aisles, she stumbled on some one-dollar measuring cups and other kitchen items. She decided she'd like to make a cake.
"There's so much you can buy here," she exulted, between winces. "I love it. It has everything I need."
Sandra Kasongo, who moved here from Congo a year and a half ago, checked out the shower curtains. "It makes people who don't have money to get what they need," she said.
Shoppers, some of whom work or live downtown, others who were just passing through, showed up the other day out of curiosity, and ended up exploring seemingly endless rows of brightly-packaged items ranging from Dr. Fresh Spider Sense Spider Man toothbrushes ...
... Good & Clean dish detergent and back-to-school spiral notebooks, washable glue pens, and soft rubber Premium heel grippers, to Wise potato chips, Aim toothpaste, and heavy duty aluminum foil.
The packages in the coolers included frozen roasted fingerling potatoes, TJ Farms stir fry blend veggies, Jumbo Hand Rolled miniature shrimp egg rolls. All a buck each.
"It's nice. It's very neat. It's bringing people in," said Apreia Coper, who visited the store out of "curiosity" and left with sundae ice-cream cones.
Building owner Michael Schaffer said he has noticed the store already drawing brisk, steady business since it opened. On-site store managers referred questions to national Dollar Tree corporate spokeswoman Shelly Davis. Davis said the company "does not divulge" single-store sales or differences in inventory at the over 5,000 Dollar Tree stores located in the 48 continental states.

"It makes people who don't have money to get what they need," she said
Wrong. The goal is the same as in almost any other retail environment: entice the shopper to purchase things they do not need. One could also comment on the ethical implications of performing these kind of tricks on our poorest neighbors.

Should everyone read about a woman buying a pregnancy test for $1? This seems very inappropriate. I am surprised she agreed to be photographed. That is a private and emotional matter!
posted by: TheMadcap on July 25, 2014 4:35pm
Buying a pregnancy test is only a private matter if you want it to be.
Also what the heck HewNaven, I don't know if you know this, but poor people in fact need to buy things, and every store in existence has a goal of getting customers to buy more.

Even 60 years ago, east of Church Street was low-end Shartenberg,, Stsnley. five and dime stores, cheap shoe chains.
West of Church was high end for the most part, Malley, Hamilton, Michaels', and high price specialty shops.
Changing times and new buildings did not help Malley and Macy or many of the other shops to thrive
Yale oriented shops to the west and a few old-time shops survive,mostly because of their closeness to Yale folk
Downtown New Haven is not that different than hundred o0f downtowns across the nation. Subsidize it if you wish , but its time for dominance of retailing in the area is long-gone.
They are lucky to get even a new Dollar store
Hope it succeeds

I remember, too, Walt. Congress Pants, Grants and Malley's. I've only been in New Haven 50 years—after they tore Shartenbergs down—but I did my share of shopping in that area. I even got my wedding ring from Grants for $1.49 (hey, it was a hippie thing to show my disdain for proper custom. It turned my finger green in about 3 days). Macy's was a wonderful addition, even tho Malley's suffered from the competition, and the whole conglomeration of stores, like Goldie-Libro Music and Horowitz's, seemed to thrive off the existence of each other. I wouldn't knock the Dollar Store just yet.

I shop at the dollar tree. I do not think that I get stuff I do not need. But I do get stuff I can not afford at other stores.
Hoover carpet cleaner $10 same product without the label $1. I do not NEED carpet cleaner but it is nice to have a clean rug for $1, a wet vac and a fan.
Basic tools Something every single women should have but may not NEED, go to the tool shops…fifty bucks vs 8 bucks for a few basic tools that may save you even more money alot the road.
Aspirin, cough medicine, and other every day aliment pills $1 vs starting at $4. I maybe able to live with the headache or a cough but it is nice to not have to.
Dishes, glasses: I got dishes that look just like pier 1 dishs $25 bucks each…for a dollar each have had them for years. Even Walmart sells the same dishes for $4 bucks each. Not a need because you can go to a thrift store and get missed match for 50 cents each but doesn't everyone deserve some nice household things?
What about a kids bday party…dollar store can make a low income kids parent be able to make it just a little more special for a few dollars. For twenty dollar she can get a cake, decorations, party favors and even some presents to wrap.
Infact I get the stuff for our community get togethers at dollar tree. making it just a bit more special for the kids.
School supplies to.
lets not forget the food
Read this:
and the list goes on. It is all in the way you view it.
And as Walt pointed out these block have always been for the working poor. EX the Poor man library across the street from the dollar store. http://institutelibrary.org/history.html

I am not struggling to get by the way some people are, but I know perfectly well that when I want a can of Ajax and a bottle of inexpensive hair conditioner, the place to hit is the dollar store. Ditto curling ribbon for birthday presents, contact paper for kitchen shelves, and a thousand other things that I can't easily get anywhere else downtown. If we have a nice clean new dollar store downtown, that's A-OK with me.
I also remember going to Kresge's when I was little, and Horowitz's second floor (to get cheaper clothes), and it's true, the presence of the Institute Library across the street definitely does indicate: this kind of operation has been in this section of Chapel Street a long time. Grousing because a Williams-Sonoma didn't move in there doesn't benefit anyone. Keeping the space empty also doesn't benefit anyone. I look forward to stopping into the new dollar store this week, in fact…
Thanks, Cedar Hill, for posting the link above.

HN - Talk about WRONG. Not everything is a plan by the man to get the little guy.
We throw a party for kids b-day. I can buy plates, cups etc at Stop and Shop…..or I can buy the SAME STUFF at Dollar Stores for 75% less.
I don't need them? That's unethical? "One" should think about the realities of living check to check before the pontificate about abstract ethical dilemmas. Some of us don't have the luxury to as we are too busy trying to get by.
posted by: HewNaven on July 28, 2014 10:22am
For those having a hard time understanding my point, let me put it another way:
Retail environments are planned and designed to entice a shopper to leave the store with more than they came for. I never said you couldn't find some really cheap stuff. Dollar stores are full of that cheap stuff, we all know that. Thanks for sharing your shopping list.
P.S. Next time you're there you might survey the employees and especially the 'managers' to see how they are being treated. Let's not even get into how the producers of that cheap stuff are being treated. (It's the closest thing to legal slavery on the planet). Go ahead pat yourself on the back for those penny-pinching purchases.

Now what?
From today's DealBook, NYTimes: Updated, 7:06 a.m. | Dollar Tree agreed on Monday to buy Family Dollar Stores for about $8.5 billion in cash and stock, uniting two of North America's biggest deep-discount retailers.
The deal comes amid pressure on Family Dollar by the activist investor Carl C. Icahn, who urged the company last month to explore a sale of itself. But Family Dollar said in a statement that it had been exploring strategic options since the winter.

Along her way through the aisles, she stumbled on some one-dollar measuring cups and other kitchen items. She decided she'd like to make a cake.
She came for a pregnancy test and then thought, gee, I think I'll bake a cake. You're all right, that has nothing to do with retail merchants understanding behavioral psychology and preying on people's impulses and urges. It must just be a HUGE coincidence that most people who go to a store walk out with more than they came for.
Keep throwing your money away, folks. Blame it on the person who tries to help.

This article mentioned toothpaste at least three times, and toothpaste is ONE of the things that consumers should NOT purchase at a Dollar Store. While it is useful to be able to purchase items at a store such as this for considerable less than one can at other retail stores, there are items (especially food, cosmetic, and medicinal), due to their ingredients, that should NOT be purchased there.
People should search the internet for a list of those items, to be safe.
posted by: sandstorm on July 29, 2014 8:36am
While it would have been nice to have a more impressive operation at this gateway location, it is wonderful that we finally have a store that supports the basic needs of downtown residents. For too long, downtown has boasted fabulous boutiques for browsing and purchasing impulse items that no one needs; they had to go to Walgreens or Stop and Shop for light bulbs and other basics. This will be an asset to our increasing roster of downtown apartments. If we want to be a great livable city, we must provide goods and services that accommodate our urban growth.

There has been one oddly avoided questionSubmitted by SurfCityTom on Tue, 12/04/2012 - 1:33pm.
did Island Taxi have workers compnesation insurance & did they file a claim for imjuries and lost wages on behalf of the injured driver? 2 simple questions which can be answered Yes or No. Now in Raleigh, the Governor has enpanneled a group which includes The AG & Comissioner of Insurance to study how cases such as this can be avoided. One of the few steps she's taken which I commend. It's estimated there are over 30,000 North Carolina businesses which should have workers compensation insurance and do not. They try to skirt the system by claiming everyone who works for them is an "independant contractor". Not only does this delay, if not avoid workers compensation benefits for the injured; it prevents the collection of FICA, state withholding, medicare, social security and so forth. What do you say WWAY? Time for a follow up phone call to Island Taxi? »

Since 1945 there have been more than 2,000 test nuclear explosions conducted throughout the world.
To date, 2005, the United States has approximately 10,350 warheads
Isreal, Pakistan, India and North Korea are not signatories to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Their warhead arsonel is as follows:
The bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945 was an atomic bomb which killed over 140,000 people, and had the power of 15-Kilotons. Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, or the splitting of an atom, to achieve an enormous explosion.
A common hydrogen bomb, which uses nuclear fusion, or the fusing of atoms, has the power of up to 10-Megatons. To achieve fusion, an atomic bomb is at the center of a common Hydrogen bomb, creating immense heat used to fuse the atoms.
All the explosions in World War II combined totalled 'only' 2-Megatons or just 20% of the power of just one common Hydrogen bomb.
However a nuclear bomb could easily fit into the back of a truck.
* August 9, 1945: 21-Kiloton Plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.
* October 30, 1961: Soviet Union detonates a 50-Megaton Uranimu bomb.
Nicknamed the "Tsar Bomba" or "King of Bombs", this will be the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated.
The detonation occurred over the Arctic island of Novaya Zemlya.
The explosive inpact of this device was 6,500 times more deadly than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
The bomb proved that the delivery of nuclear weapons by long range aircraft was ineffient in time war. As a result Intercontinential Ballistic Missiles were created.
The bomb was never intended for actual use. Rather it was used to intimidate the United States.
Tsar Bomba was dropped via parachute from an altitude of 4,200 meters, or 2.6 miles, and the resulting fireball nearly reached the height of the release plane. Light from the explosion was visible from 1000 km, or 621 miles, away. The bomb was so hot it induced 3rd degree burns at 100 km, or 62 miles, away.
- Most structures destroyed out to 0.15 miles of the blast area.
- Approxmiately 50% dead from radiation within one month's time out to 0.3 miles.
- Massive fires out to 0.07 miles.
Atomic Bomb; 15-Kiloton bomb.
- Most structures destroyed out to 0.8 miles of the blast area.
- Approximately 50% dead from radiation within one month's time out to 0.8 miles.
- Massive fires out to 0.9 miles. Possible fires out to 1.2 miles.
Hydrogen Bomb; 300-Kilotons
- Most structures destroyed out to 2.2 miles from the blast area.
- Approxmiately 50% dead from radiation within 1.3 miles in one month's time.

Villains that you would like to see the Teen Titans face
By nj06 3 Comments
Which villains would you like to see the Teen Titans face that they haven't faced already or haven't faced in some time? I would love to see the Teen Titans fight with Grodd or Ocean Master. I like both of those villains and think that they would be credible threats for the team. Also, I would like ti see the TT face Atlas. I think his status as a Superman villain and as a mythological figure would be good reason for him to face Superboy and Wonder Girl. I also think that the Meta-Breed and the Reach would also provide more spotlight for Blue Beetle and Static
Any others?
