Cell phone/texting news: State Rep. Jacob Anderegg and Sen. Steve Urquhart compromised and collaborated on the new version of House Bill 63, which seeks to ease some of Utah's distracted driving provisions but also limit cell phone use to one-touch or voice-controlled operation. The amendments were added March 4. The bill prohibits talking on handheld cell phones. It also bars use of handheld devices to manually operate or view "information" such as writing, games, recordings, pictures and videos.The compromise bill moves on to the full Senate after the March 4 sign-off by the Senate Transportation panel.
Urquhart is now listed as the Senate sponsor of the Anderegg bill. The amendments would remove some of the restrictions that went into effect in 2014. Andregg's bill basically bars texting & driving and use of handheld cell phones. Smartphone GPS would be allowed. Drivers are specifically permitted to use hands-free-equipped devices and to engage one-touch functions.
Under House Bill 63, the distracted driving fine would remain at the state's current $100 (under an amendment to the Anderegg plan), unless the distracted driving leads to bodily injury ($1,000 maximum).
Utah's original text-messaging law went into effect in 2009. It was strengthened and updated in 2014.
Current prohibitions
- Text messaging outlawed for all drivers. Typing on keyboards prohibited, including entry of phone numbers. Accessing Internet by use of hands barred.
- Drivers under 18 barred from using wireless communications devices (cell phones).
- Utah has a law on the books against "careless driving" — which can be defined as committing a moving violation while distracted by use of a hand-held cellphone or similar activities. Using a cell phone can bring additional penalties as a secondary violation.

Distracted driving notes (2015):
Roughly 38 percent of Utah voters "strongly favor" a law against handheld cell phone use by drivers that allows police to stop and cite offenders, a poll taken in early March suggests. About 19 percent of the 406 voters surveyed by Dan Jones and Associates strongly opposed the idea.
"What we did last year was the nanny state at its finest level," says state Rep. Jacob Andregg, sponsor of the plan to dial back the distracted driving law changes of 2014.
The Utah Highway Patrol testified against Andregg's original House Bill 63 at a Jan. 29 hearing of the House Transportation Committee. Allowing drivers to handle their cell phones "would create significant challenges" for law enforcement, a spokesman said, since drivers who were texting could beat tickets by saying they were entering phone numbers. Current law bars almost all typing on keyboards, including entry of phone numbers. The bill was narrowly approved by the Transportation Committee in a 6-5 vote Feb. 6 and later amended in a compromise version.
State Sen. Steve Urquhart wasn't a fan of Andregg's legislation, but says some tinkering with the changes he (Urquhart) pushed through the legislature in 2014 could be in order: "I think we probably could do some things to help with enforcement," Urquhart told the St. George News. He later filed SB 162 and then compromised with Andregg on House Bill 63.
Distracted driving legislation (2015):
House Bill 63: Would allow drivers to use cell phones only with hands-free accessories or in voice-controlled mode. Rewrites existing law to remove some recent restrictions on use of smartphones. Allows for GPS but not applications. Bars use of handheld devices to manually operate or view "information" such as writing, games, recordings, pictures, videos. Fine (as amended) is $100 but $1,000 if bodily injury or death occurs. Discussed and held by the House Transportation Committee (7-6 vote) on Jan. 29. Approved by the Transportation Committee in a 6-5 vote of Feb. 6. See changes of 2014 under SB 253, below. Compromise version of bill amended and approved by the Senate Transportation Committee on March 4. (Anderegg)
Senate Bill 162: Would bar use of handheld cell phones while driving. Edits and simplifies existing restrictions. Voice operation specifically allowed. Approved by the Senate Transportation Committee in a 3-1 vote of Feb. 18 (Urquhart)
2014 distracted driving legislation:
Senate Bill 253: Broadens and amends current texting & driving law to update technology covered. Outlaws most forms of typing while driving. Sets first-offense fine at $100. Approved by the Transportation Committee in a 2-1 vote of Feb. 28. Approved by the full Senate in a 17-8 vote of March 10. Approved by the House in a 41-28 vote of March 13. Final sign-off in the Senate on March 14. Signed into law by the governor April 1. Takes effect May 13. (Urquhart)
2014 distracted driving notes:
Utah Highway Patrol troopers pulled over almost 1,100 people for distracted driving violations in the eight months since the state toughened its laws. The new law — which went into effect in mid-May — still allows drivers to talk on cell phones, which is not regulated in Utah. As amended, it also allows for use of GPS apps and hands-free technologies. Prohibited are email, video and Internet surfing. Fines up to $100 for first offenders.
UHP said it made 692 distracted driving stops in the period from May to October 2014 — a significant increase over the 166 of last year. Troopers credit the revised law.
State Sen. Steve Urquhart thought Utah's texting & driving law was behind the times. The House and Senate agreed, voting in favor of the Urquhart bill, with Gov. Gary Herbert giving final approval April 1. The changes are now in effect.
Urquhart's Senate Bill 253 edited and rewrote parts of the state's lone distracted driving law, to outlaw almost all typing on keyboards while behind the wheel, including entry of phone numbers. "It deals with any and all manipulation of a device," says Urquhart, who believed that texting drivers were beating their tickets by saying they were dialing a number.
Utah Highway Patrol troopers handed out 150 warnings the first day under the revised law.
The bill was inspired, in part, by the death of David Henson and severe injuries to his wife Leslee. The St. George couple were walking a year ago when hit by a 50-year-old woman who allegedly was texting and speeding. The driver has been charged with automotive homicide.
2013 distracted driving legislation:
House Bill 103: Would bar drivers under the age of 18 from using cell phones while behind the wheel. Fine: $25, no points (as amended). Exceptions include "communicating with a parent or legal guardian." Approved by the Justice Committee in a 7-4 vote of Feb. 13. Approved by the House in a 48-22 vote of Feb. 25 and sent to the Senate, where it was "held" by the Transportation Committee. Rejected by the Senate in an 11-13 vote of March 12. Reconsidered and approved in a 17-12 vote on March 13. Signed by the governor April 1. (Perry)
2013 distracted driving notes:
The 2013 law that outlaws use of wireless communications devices by drivers under the age of 18 comes with $25 fines for violators but no points. The teen cell phone bill does come with what could be seen as a major loophole: "Communicating with a parent or legal guardian" is an exempted use.
Logan police say their crackdown on texting while driving resulted in a 30 percent reduction in accidents on Main Street. The two-year "Stop the Main Distraction" campaign was funded by the Utah Highway Safety Office.
A Jensen man has been sentenced to up to five years in prison on charges of vehicular homicide in the death of a 15-year-old pedestrian. The charges are among the first filed under the 2012 update of the Utah texting law that broadened the definition of negligence in auto homicide cases linked to handheld device use.
Jeffery Bascom, 29, was sentenced July 1. Prosecutors said Bascom was texting & driving at the time he drifted off the road and killed 15-year-old Tommy Clark. The teen's mother said she was pleased that Bascom would do time, but "when you lose a child you never have a sense of resolution." The texting law rewrite went into effect in May 2012.
Of the teen cell phone measure HB 103, the St. George Spectrum editorialized Feb. 27: "This bill really is a "don't talk to your friends" bill. … more thought should go into this legislation. The Senate should defeat this bill or not introduce it at all." The newspaper said the $25 fine wasn't "much of a deterrent" and it wondered why Utah's adult drivers wouldn't be banned from cell phone use as well.
2012 distracted driving legislation:
Senate Bill 98: Would broaden the definition of text messaging in the current Utah text messaging law. Includes composing a text, entering data and accessing apps. Allows use of handheld device for GPS. In cases of automobile homicide, broadens definitions to negligence in use of handheld electronic devices, not just texting. Approved by the Senate Transportation Committee in a 3-0 vote taken Feb. 22. Approved by the Senate in a 24-4 vote Feb. 28 and then by the House in a 39-32 vote March 6. Latest action: Signed by the governor March 19, 2012, and took effect May 8. (Hillyard)
Senate Bill 128: Would prohibit use of cell phones by drivers under the age of 18. Exception made for communicating with parents. Fine: $50, no points. Approved by the Senate Transportation Committee in a 3-2 vote on Jan. 27. Approved by the Senate on a second reading Feb. 6 (19-9-1 vote). Final approval by the Senate on Feb. 7 (19-9 vote). Rejected by the House on March 8 and dead. (Romero)
2012 distracted driving notes:
In 2012, the House rejected a Senate plan that sought to prohibit use of cell phones by drivers under the age of 18. It was a rerun of 2010 and 2011, when bills that would have outlawed use of all cell phones by drivers under age 18 also were approved by the state Senate, but died in the House.
Sen. Ross Romero, D-Salt Lake City, saw his teen cell phone measure SB 128 clear its second and final vote in the Senate with continued support from Republicans. Both Senate votes registered 19 senators in favor and 9 opposed. The bill failed to gain traction in the House, however, and is dead for the year.
Romero said SB 128 was inspired by a group of teens who lobbied for a previous attempt to ban handheld cell phone use by Utah drivers. His bill, which applies only to drivers under the age of 18, would have no effect on the violator's DMV record. "I've heard from several parents who really like the idea — that it would be against the law and yet the penalties would be relatively small," Romero told the Deseret News in late January.
Sen. Stuart Adams, R-Layton, was one of two members of the Transportation Committee to vote against Sen. Romero's SB 128. He cited the familiar list of other distracted behaviors, such as "eating lunch" and grooming. "I'm not sure we can regulate inappropriate behavior," Adams said. "I just don't know how microscopic we should be." The bill advanced to the full Senate, regardless.
Sen. Lyle Hillyard, R-Logan, says his SB 98 closes a loophole in the current law that allows drivers to compose email. His plan would make it clear that "texting is a violation of the law even if you don't send the message."
84 percent of Utah adults support the prohibition of cell phone use for drivers under 18, preliminary numbers from a Utah Department of Health survey indicate. A cell phone ban for all drivers registered the support of 70 percent, the Deseret News reported in late January.
2011 legislation (dead):
HB 95 second substitute: Amends careless driving law to include new violation of operation of a vehicle while impaired by fatigue or illness. First HB 95 substitute created by House Rules Committee cleaned up language in the original HB 95. Sent to the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee on Feb. 17, which rejected the bill as it was and days later created the second substitute (that removed a section related to seat belts). Bill (second sub) approved by the House on March 1 and transmitted to the Senate, where it was defeated in a 9-19 vote on March 10. (Perry)
SB 45: Would prohibit use of cell phones by drivers under the age of 18. Fine: $50, no points. Primary enforcement. Approved by the Senate Transportation Committee on Feb. 7. Approved by the full Senate in a 21-4 vote on Feb. 17 and introduced in the House. Reported as "not considered" by the House transportation committee on Feb. 28. Second House reading March 4. Latest action: Defeated in a 32-38 vote in the full House on March 8. (Romero)
2011 distracted driving notes:
Utah's traffic fatality rate is on track to hit a 37-year low in 2011, based on numbers from January-June. The Utah Department of Transportation said July 21 that there were 91 deaths in the first half, compared with 96 in 2010. Five of the deaths were linked to distracted driving. UDOT Traffic and Safety Director Robert Hull urged motorists "to remember to buckle up and avoid the behaviors that most commonly cause crashes—distracted driving, impaired driving, aggressive driving and speeding."
Rep. Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman, reportedly said during debate on SB 45 that, as a law officer, he had to tell parents of their teens' deaths in traffic. "There's something in my opinion that is more horrific, and that is the constant attack on liberty and freedom that we see in this Legislature." The bill was defeated.
The state Department of Transportation says distracted driving is causing an increasing amount of accidents in Utah, especially the use of cell phones and handheld music players. In 2010, 18 deaths were blamed on distracted drivers. Overall, 235 motor vehicle fatalities were logged, the fewest since 1974.
Sen. Ross Romero, D-Salt Lake, put some teeth into his failed distracted driving legislation of 2010, which sought to ban use of cell phones by teen drivers, but called for only secondary enforcement. This year, his SB 45 is tagged for primary enforcement, meaning police can stop and cite offenders for that reason alone.
A high school senior testified Feb. 7 in favor of SB 45: "When I see teenagers in a car driving around (using cell phones), it makes me really scared for my life," she said. (TV news video below)
Distracted driving legislation champion Rep. Phil Riesen did not run for re-election after his term ended in 2010. The Democrat saw his cell phone legislation fail in both 2009 (all drivers) and 2010.
2010 legislation
HB 237: Would have prohibited teens under 18 years old from using a cell phone while driving on Utah roads and highways. Penalties included points against the driver's license. Defeated. (Riesen)
SB 113 (and substitute): Would make the ban against teen drivers using cell phones a secondary offense with no points against license. (Romero) Also a substitute version from the House agreeing to these provisions (Riesen). This was the compromise version of the teen cell phone bill. Both defeated.
2009 legislation
Utah House Bill 290: Prohibits text messaging while driving. Approved in the House and Senate and sent to Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., who signed it into law on March 25. Enforcement began July 1, 2009.
Utah Senate Bill 149 (sub): Would outlaw text messaging while operating a motor vehicle. Approved by the full Senate as a substitute bill and sent to the House Transportation Committee on Feb. 26, 2009. Filed as a defeated bill March 13.
HB 95, from Rep. Phil Riesen, would prohibit use of wireless devices while operating a motor vehicle. The bill includes text messaging and cell phones, and does not allow for use of hands-free devices. Bill dead for year.
HB 248: Would ban use of "wireless communication devices" while driving on Utah's roads. Provides for use with hands-free devices. Includes text messaging and cites PDAs. "Bill substituted" on Feb. 20, creating exceptions for law enforcement, etc. Bill "held" (tabled) by House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee on Feb. 24 and filed as a defeated bill.
HB 281: Targets text messaging while driving. Would ban use of wireless communications devices while driving through reduced speed zones and parking lots, unless a hands-free device is utilized. Would prohibit drivers under 18 from using wireless devices while behind the wheel. Filed as a defeated bill March 13.
Utah cell phone legislation notes (through 2009)
Rep. Stephen Clark, R-Provo, sponsored the 2009 House plan to ban text messaging while driving. The vote in the Senate was 26-1. In the House it was 45-29.
Rep. Phil Riesen blamed the 2009 failure of his driving cell phone ban on retaliation for an unrelated ethics allegation he made against another lawmaker.
Sen. Lyle Hillyard, R-Logan, saw his version of the texting ban SB 149 advance to the full Senate on Feb. 6, 2009, and then to the House after the Senate's approval on Feb. 25. Penalties increase to possible jail time after two prior offenses. Texting and causing an accident would be considered a third-degree felony. Sen. Margaret Dayton, R-Orem, was the only senator to vote against Hillyard's bill.
Hillyard told the Herald Journal that he didn't include cell phones in his Utah texting bill because it would decrease the chances of passage: "(If) my bill is the only bill left because of the controversy about cell phones, I think my bill has a very good chance of passing."
Rep. Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman, helped kill the hands-free bill HB 248, citing the careless driving offense on the books (above) and saying, "The bill would make no change in our law."
Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, defended her defeated HB 248: "You can make a big improvement in safety if people have both hands on the wheel."
Earlier, Moss said, "It would at least be a first important step to get people to put both hands on the wheel again and not have a hand up to their ear." She has been an advocate of such a law for several years.
Jeff Nigbur, spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety, said his group is watching all five Utah cell phone/texting bills, and "will focus on the one that gets close to passing."
Rep. Phil Riesen's cell phone driving bill HB 95 was endorsed by the Salt Lake Tribune on Jan. 28, 2009.
Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clinton, is preparing legislation for the 2009 session that would ban text messaging by drivers and outlaw cell phone use in certain school zones. "If we can restrict drinking and driving, we should certainly restrict anything else that causes potential harm and (texting while driving) is very high risk," Ray told ABC4.com.
From the Salt Lake Tribune (Jan. 23):
Lawmakers in the past have resisted phone restrictions for cars, often citing a distaste for limiting personal liberties. It will be no different for some of them this year, and members of the Utah Transportation Commission who heard about the latest proposal at their meeting last month chuckled at its prospects. "Good luck with that," Commissioner Glen Brown said after hearing the report.
The Utah lawmakers might want to check with their constituents. A Tribune poll of Utahns conducted in early January 2009 shows that 80% support limits on cell phone use by motorists. 15% were opposed to cell phone driving laws and 5% were undecided. (500 voters, margin of error 4.5%)
Utah assesses points against a drivers license for a cell-related conviction.

may face more US checks Gorshkov deal by March: George WINDOW ON PAKISTAN Violence
cant alter LoC, says Blackwill USA firm
on Jan 27 deadline
exile rumours dismissed Russian
envoy in N.Korea for N-crisis talks
Pakistanis may face more US checks Washington, January 18 Giving reasons for including a US ally like Pakistan in the Immigration and Naturalisation Registration programme, counsel to the Attorney-General in the Department of Justice Kris Kobach told reporters yesterday that it was just an unfortunate recognition of the fact that Al-Qaida has chosen to operate in those countries, including Pakistan. The unfortunate reality was that some of our greatest allies and many countries whose civil rights records are extremely good, countries who have a democratic system of government, countries that are very close to the USA in the war against terrorism, their citizens are included in this, Kobach said. We have to try to figure out when the Al-Qaida comes in, and try to improve our information in that respect, he added. On why finger-printing was so important, he said a fingerprint on paper can last more than 30 years. And so the training camps (of Al-Qaida) were a source, a mine of fingerprints, as it were.
Gorshkov deal by March: George Moscow, January 18 Talking to the Indian media here yesterday at the end of the Moscow leg of his six-day visit to Russia, Mr Fernandes said in the landmark Indo-Russian defence protocol signed earlier in the day by him with Russian Industries, Science and Technology Minister Ilya Klebanov provides for the completion of negotiations by March-end on the whole package. Gorshkov is part of the package agreed in the inter-governmental agreement, and all three deals would be signed together, he said. For obvious reasons the inter-governmental agreement was kept under wraps. We have a mischievous neighbour and there are some countries which do not want to see us strong, but we need these weapons for our security, Mr Fernandes said, explaining why the main media focus was on Gorshkov and nuclear capable Tu-22M3 bombers and Akula-class nuclear propelled submarines were sidelined for a long time. There is a sense of urgency on both sides. The negotiations are on for almost a decade now. We need Gorshkov, it is not a secret. All technical aspects have been agreed, only the issue of price remains to be settled, he said. Mr Fernandes denied media reports about Russia pressing India on the inclusion of MiG-AT advanced trainer jet in the package. MiG-AT AJT was not found acceptable by the Air Force, he said.
WINDOW ON PAKISTAN THE new political establishment under Prime Minister Zaffarullah Jamali is facing its first major test. It is not only the pro Islamic dispensation under MMA, the main Opposition at the national level and the ruling party in the two sensitive provinces bordering Afghanistan, but even the media are asking for a total review of Pakistan-US relationship. The question being posed is why Pakistan is becoming just a stooge of the United States and fast losing its sovereignty. Both English and Urdu newspapers that represent the cross-section of the media are questioning on daily basis both Prime Minister Jamali and President cum army chief Gen Pervez Musharraf for removing even the fig leaf. Pakistan is a client state and is ready all the time to prove that it is more loyal than the king. So runs the argument. The main issues troubling the political leaders and the media are Americans forces operating from the soil of Pakistan without any check. The FBI is getting a freer hand in detaining Pakistani citizens. And at top the Pakistani citizens are under watch in America. New stringent American laws make visiting nationals to the USA suspect. The genesis of this American bashing lies, in Musharraf usurping power and the USA lending support to him. In turn Musharraf is lending total unconditional support to the Americans after September 11 to enter Pakistan and hunt for any suspected Al-Qaida cadres. First these allegations came from the pro-Islamic outfits and now from others and the mainline newspapers. Why are the Americans dictating? They ask. Wajid Shamsul Hasan, a columnist in the Nation narrates a joke to hammer the bankruptcy of the Pakistans foreign policy. It runs like this. There is an imaginary encounter between Afghanistans Minister for Railways and Pakistans Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs. The Pakistani chap is bright and never spares an opportunity to have a dig at the Afghani brother. How come youre Minister for Railways when Afghanistan doesnt have train service? Pert came the response, How come youre Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs when Pakistan does not have a constitution nor a parliament? Currently the attack on the new Jamul Government starts with this kind of a dig. Many newspapers like the Urdu Jang, Nawa-e-Waqt, Blochistan Post and many others justify this digression. Hassan adds, Pakistan today has an imposing Foreign Office, a handsome Foreign Minister perpetually in three-piece with spit-and-shine boots, but no foreign policy. It, is therefore, heartening to note that at least Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal has realised that it was time the National Assembly was invoked to debate Pakistans phantom foreign policy and security issues that have rendered the countrys independence and sovereignty into a myth. The political class is asking whether the USA has any legal right of hot pursuit or not. MMA leaders say, The contempt by the American forces to Pakistani borders including the historic Durand Line and Pakistan Foreign Offices ignorance about its existence are matters that dont augur well for countrys future especially when Afghanistan and Pakistan both are threatened with Balkanisation. The MMA and the newspapers are keenly debating the issue, which will be soon go before the National Assembly. It is happening when Pakistans Foreign Minister is about make his first all-important visit to the USA. Khalid Ahmed while reviewing the Urdu Press in the Daily Times brings out similar assessments. But he cautions by saying, America does all the mischief because it has global outreach and global leverage. When we accuse it of wicked things, we must pause and see if we have all the facts. But Massoda Bano in the News International differs she said, There is desperation to keep believing that the USA is our friend. For the current military regime, which has won its legitimacy internationally not because of the domestic support but because of the willingness it has shown to obey each and every US order, this desperation seems at all time high. After all winning US friendship was touted to be the reward for abandoning Taliban, reversing Pakistans policy on Kashmir, extraditing hundreds of Pakistanis and foreign nationals to US in response to US demands, and providing US forces use of Pakistan air space and land space in its war on terrorism. Winning US friendship is the most critical issue for Pakistans development, and by following all US orders we have won this friendship. Others like Khalid Ahmed share some of these concerns. He wrote, The sole superpower status of the United States has increased Washingtons leverage in the world. Now, the right-wing Islamic Opposition to it has embraced the old Left view of the United States. Cold war history is reconstructed to justify the theory that America was always against the Islamic world. It is now difficult to sift the truth from fiction of anti-American propaganda. No one denies the interventionism of Cold War policies, nor is the present leverage of a wounded United States denied, but the allegations can and should be put to the test of proof. |
cant alter LoC, says Blackwill Washington, January 18 In his speech to the alumni of the Indian Institutes of Technology in California, he said in the absence of a jointly agreed Indo-Pakistan alternative, everyone should act to ensure the continued sanctity of the LoC. He favoured the resumption of diplomatic dialogue between India and Pakistan, which could facilitate people-to-people contact and lay the groundwork for greater bilateral cooperation on a range of common interests. Indians and Pakistanis from all walks of life should be able to easily travel to other country for family visits, tourism, sports and business. It should not take more time to fly from New Delhi to Islamabad than it does to fly from Delhi to London, he said.
USA firm on Jan 27 deadline Washington, January 18 The Iraqi regime had the intent to develop weapons of mass destruction and the capacity to do so and the burden was on Iraq to prove that it did not have such weapons, Mr Powell, who was speaking to correspondents from countries who had joined the UN Security Council yesterday, said. He said there were many people who did not want to see the evidence, know anything about it or want to have to deal with this problem. The US military buildup and buildups by other nations that were taking place were part of supporting the diplomatic pressure to make Iraq perform and comply with the councils resolution, he said. Mr Powell said President George W. Bush had not taken a decision for war and he had said he would like to see this resolved peacefully. But he believed the international community had an obligation to disarm Iraq forcefully. LONDON:
British Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon will announce on Monday the deployment of at least 14,000 soldiers to the Gulf in preparation for a possible war against Iraq, The Sun reported on Saturday, quoting ministerial sources. At least 7,000 troops from the 1st Armoured Division, based in Germany, would be sent along with a minimum of 150 Challenger II tanks, said the paper.
Saddam exile rumours dismissed Doha, January 18 These are stupidities ... and one of the methods of pyschological warfare against Iraq, Majid, who is a member of Iraqs decision-making Revolution Command Council, told Al-Jazeera television from Damascus. Arab diplomats were quoted earlier this week as saying that Turkey was working on an exile plan with several Arab states. AFP |

Three Alarm Blaze at Colorado Construction Site
January 13, 2008 - Just after 1700 hours on Sunday evening, MetCom in Eaglewood, Colo. received multiple calls reporting heavy black smoke showing from the roof of an apartment building on Dry Creek Road & Fulton Street. As units from South Metro Fire Rescue were en route, a second alarm was called for due to the incoming reports.
First due Engine 33 arrived on scene at 10001 East Dry Creek Road to find a three story wood frame apartment building still under construction with heavy black smoke showing from the third floor and roof. Shortly after units got on scene, heavy fire began showing from the third floor and propane tanks started to vent. Defensive operations began and a third alarm was struck bringing mutual aid from Parker & Littleton Fire. Fire vented through the roof and exposure protection was put in place on other nearby buildings. Only one other structure received minor damage.
At the peak of the incident several master streams were in operation including four aerials. Crews remained on scene through the night and a cause is still under investigation.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

So I cant add a hc600 or anything similar
Yeah.. you can.. I dont know what size battery you use though. Look up what group size your battery is then look for good dry batteries in that size
Or you could always wire up whatever size you want in your trunk
Got agm battery from orilieys redone grounds lights stil dimming but voltage is up
When you did big 3 did you add it to stock wiring or remove the stock wiring
Weird, I had terrible dim with my subs (2400rms at .5 ohm) and since I did the big 3 and added two yellow tops (one in hood - one in trunk) and got a new alternator (not high output, but a new stock 130amp) I have zero dim at all
Your alternator likely has alot to do with it
Adding a second battery can always help too.. and its super easy to do, plus, the benefits of having dual batteries is awesome (jump your car from either side, have a backup battery in your trunk to throw in your friends dead car)
My battery is in the trunk and it and the alternator are new
Only battery is in the trunk and alt. Is 180 amps
Try adding a second battery. Your alt should be more fine. Your electrical can't keep up with the amperage being discharged for whatever reason.
Your oreilly agm is not deep cycle I believe. Maybe return that for a deep cycle (yellow top, etc)
What amp are you running, and at what ohm?
All grounds sanded really good and really tight? ?
Grounds r good and running Audiopipe ap1800 at 2 ohms
Battery and amp share the same grounding point but amp is not grounded to battery post if that makes any difference and amp is seeing 2.1 ohms at terminals
Add a extra ground straight to neg battery post
---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------
That kind of power at 2 ohms should not be dimming much at all with you.re setup

Ion channels of high conductance (>200 pS) are widespread among prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Two examples, the Escherichia coli mechanosensitive ion channels Ec-MscS and Ec-MscL, pass currents of 125–300 pA. To resolve temporal details of conductance transitions, a patch-clamp setup was optimized for low-noise recordings at a time resolution of 3 µs (10–20 times faster than usual). Analyses of the high-resolution recordings confirm that Ec-MscL visits many subconductance states and show that most of the intersubstate transitions occur more slowly than the effective resolution of 3 µs. There is a clear trend toward longer transition times for the larger transitions. In Ec-MscS recordings, the majority of the observed full conductance transitions are also composite. We detected a short-lived (~20 µs) Ec-MscS substate at 2/3 of full conductance; transitions between 2/3 and full conductance did not show fine structure and had a time course limited by the achieved resolution. Opening and closing transitions in MscS are symmetrical and are not preceded or followed by smaller, rapid currents ("anticipations" or "regrets"). Compared with other, lower-conductance channels, these measurements may detect unusually early states in the transitions from fully closed to fully open. Increased temporal resolution at the single-molecule level reveals that some elementary steps of structural transitions are composite and follow several alternative pathways, while others still escape resolution. High-bandwidth, low-noise single-channel measurements may provide details about state transitions in other high-conductance channels; and similar procedures may also be applied to channel- and nanopore-based single-molecule DNA measurements.

She is the key, that can set me free,
she is the reason, that my heart is beating faster,
she is my everyting, I cant sense any desaster,
but the truth is this, I didnt find her yet,
Im only dreaming of her, somewhere in this world that I set.
Is funny thing, that people say, is ment to be, is ment for love,
but love is just a word, and the life is also, together are magic,
that can change your soul also, be prepared for anyting, because you
never could guess, what will happen tomorow, what the next day, I guess,
Im just saying, dont let down your guards, as nither do I,
will await her, untill the day, when I will stop beliven in the fairy tale,
but im still young, and shall think, that the love is outhere for me to grab,
chances are few, but so is truth, who is the right for me,
who is, the one?

Seasonal Flu Deaths Increase To 23 The above list of locations from the week 51 MMWR are for the eight pediatric deaths cited in the week 51 FluView. This list adds Arkansas to the tally of adolescent flu deaths reported in the US during the 2012/2013. Although the CDC has cited 16 cases, last week the total, which included media and state lab reports, was 20 deaths. The total has now grown to 23 based on the above case in Arkansas coupled with a case reported in the week 52 report from Indiana as well as a media report describing a case (17M) from Texas who died in Wisconsin. The 23 cases are listed below. The early tally of these deaths suggests the number will increase dramatically in 2013 due largely to the spread of the Victoria/361 H3N2 sub-clade which has evolved away from the current vaccine target.

The Walking Dead Season 4: Zombie Bites in Episode 1?
Ah, the joys of working on The Walking Dead. You get paid to come up with great ways to kill zombies, and be a part of the top-rated scripted sho. Greg Nicotero has the good life. He's known for his amazing special effects and makeup, but he's also an executive producer and director on TWD. In a new AMC interview, he talked about directing the Season 4 premiere, which was filmed in May and will premiere in October. "What's nice about the first episode is that they always supersize it and give you an extra day," Greg said, "because they know that the script is going to be insanely filled with great drama and great action, and we certainly didn't skimp on anything in this one." Speaking of supersized drama, when Greg was asked about new zombie tricks this season, he said, "In the first episode this season, one of the guys in my crew was like, 'You did every gag that you ever did in three years of The Walking Dead in one episode.' We had walkers. We had mummified corpses. We had puppets. We had zombie bites... There were even a couple of gags that we came up with on the fly — there was a couple of sculptures that my guys in Los Angeles had done and I said, 'Oh yeah, that's a great walker.' Where people are like, 'What are the iconic walkers for Season 4 going to be?' I'm like, 'Well, you'll just have to see!'" Yeah, now we're nervous to see who gets the zombie bites on Episode 1. Yikes. Also on the "yikes" front is Miss Mother Nature, who has been raining on the Atlanta set, affecting production. "As a matter of fact, one of the locations that I picked for the first episode, our first day of shooting, the place was underwater," Greg said. "So we literally had to scramble and pick a new location... They had Porta-Potties and all this stuff set up for where the crew was going to be, and I guess they floated away. [Laughs]." Let's hope they floated away before anyone went in to use them. Are you ready for all the excitement in Episode 1?

KC Mayor Sly James says he welcomes possible challenge from ex-Councilman Dan Cofran
Kansas City Mayor Sly James had a message for former city councilman Dan Cofran, who told The Star recently that he's "very likely" to challenge the mayor for re-election next year:
Bring it.
"I welcome the challenge," James said on KCUR's "Up to Date."
"It's just that simple. I'll let my record stand on its own."
Then James proceeded to run down that record in rapid-fire fashion.
Early childhood education?
"We've been involved in (that) more than any other administration in this entire city, including the one that he was apart of when he was a councilman" (back in the '90s).
"Homicides are down, much more than they were when he was a councilman."
Downtown development?
"We have done a lot in terms of continuing to build on downtown KC. We we have a downtown starter line streetcar. Economic development is moving bingo-bango.
"I'll stand on what we've done, and I'm ready for the challenge."
Must be a Sly-ism.

Remembering Gene Colan: Jaws 2 by Marschall, Colan, and Palmer.
I wanted to pay him a tribute today. Many throughout the internet already have, and have done it much more eloquently or authoritatively than I'm able to do. I'm just a fan with a blog, but I know one thing: the Greatness of Gene Colan will be sorely missed, but his legacy will be remembered for at least as long as I live. For my humble part, I decided to pull out something that might be forgotten, and will probably never see print again. It's one of my all-time favorite comics, Jaws 2 from Marvel Super-Special #6 (Summer 1978). Gene's pencils are inked and painted by the one man who, in Ol' Groove's opinion, totally "got" Gene's pencils and made a perfect partner, Tom Palmer. The adaptation of Jaws 2 is also significant in that it's Marvel's first attempt at "Super Marvel-Color", a painstaking and breathtaking "next step" in comicbook evolution that's forgotten today, buried under mountains of computer-colored slick comics. For Marvel it started right here, Groove-ophiles.
Usually if a story is over ten or so pages, Ol' Groove breaks it up into a big splash and tons of thumbnails in order to share it with ya. Today, in honor of Mr. Colan, every page in this 46 page adaptation is super-sized. It'll make for a lot of scrolling, but I think these pages are worth it. Don't you?
Godspeed, Mr. Colan.
7 comments:
Yes...inside the magazine is an article about the entire coloring process...very informative and very eye catching work. I believe this is the first book they used this process on as it was developed specifically for the magazine...I do believe there were several other Marvel Super specials that used this process...but alas...it has gone bye bye these days as you stated.
Genes work beautiful. ( which I believe was the point ) rip Mr. Colon.- AnonymousJune 27, 2011 at 11:53 AM
A wonderful reminder of the Deans amazing talent - I wasn't even aware of thi sbook so thank you for sharing - Gene was genuinely one of my all time favourites, whilst his work on Tomb of Dracula is undoubtably a high point in the artform its his work on Daredevl that did it for me, Miller and Romita Jnr were good , Colan was brillaint = thanks again Gene for all the fun and a great tribute well done Groove. McScooty
ReplyDelete Greetings Groovy One!
It was with a very heavy heart I heard of Gene's passing. We only met once in person in sept of 98. At the Thunderbird hotel in Minn. No one knew he was going to be there. They forgot to put his name on the fliers!
We'll after meeting him & having him do a sketch. He asked me if I'd like to sit & chat. Of course I said YES! Figuring after 10-15 mins I'd be on my way. I ended up sitting at his table with him for 3 hours! That was quite a experience.
Gene was a class act, a great artist & a soft spoken gentle soul. We ended up becoming friends, he'd even call me up to just chat at all hours! LOL Imagine my surprise to hear my cell phone ring once at 11pm. Only to see it was Gene Colan!
It was very cool & sureal, growing up as a boy to a young adult. I never dreamt in a million years I'd be friends with Gene. Along with Joe Sinnott, Herb Trimpe, John Romita SR etc. I had the sad duty of breaking the news of his passing. To these childhood idols of mine as well. Just as I had of George Tuska's passing with Joe Sinnott on his last birthday.
Ironically the last phone conversation I had with Gene. Was about death & the hereafter. I like to think Gene is up there. drawing his heart out, along with Jack Kirby, Bill Everett,& all the rest of those greats. Thanks groovy one for posting this book. I've never seen it, either I must have missed it. Or I was in the Marines overseas at the time. The artwork & coloring is beautiful.
Not only will I miss all gene's beautiful artwork. Especially his stunning woman! WOW! I'll deeply miss his friendship & our phone conversations. R.I.P. my friend & Happy Trails to you, until we meet again! Give my regards o Inspector Columbo/ The Twilight Zone: The Mirror/ Castro aka Peter Falk.
All other commentary and insanity copyright GroovyAge, Ltd.
As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!

Tips For Reducing Your Impact
Travel Lightly
If your destination is close, consider walking or biking instead of driving. Every mile you travel with foot power instead of petrol power saves one pound of carbon.
Why Does the Church Care? (PDF)
There is increasing discussion of global climate change, also called "global warming," which refers to long-term increases in average global temperatures that result from natural variation and human activities. Although some uncertainty still exists as to the exact nature and effects of global climate change, a broad scientific consensus has developed that some significant warming has occurred, brought about in part by human activities.
What does the Church say about population control and climate change?
The Holy Father and the U.S. Catholic Bishops recognize climate change as a moral issue which threatens Creation, places added burdens on poor people, and compromises the common good of all. The Church also maintains that acceptable means to address climate change must meet the Church's standards of morality. These standards include an authentically Catholic Pro-Life position which uncompromisingly excludes abortion, artificial contraception, and/or sterilization, and which forcefully reaffirm the inviolability of human life at every stage and in every condition, the dignity of the person and the unique mission of the family, where one is trained in love of neighbour and respect for nature. (Pope Benedict XVI, 2010 World Day of Peace Message If You Want to Cultivate Peace, Care for Creation)

BODYLOGIX: Are all personal fitness trainers qualified?
JENSEN BEACH - Summer is fast approaching and those winter pounds have accumulated. You need to get healthy and back in shape and you decide to hire a personal trainer. GREAT! How do you decide who to hire?
A trainer is a trainer, right? Wrong!
They all do the same thing, right? Wrong!
They have a great body so they must be good, right?… UH UH UUHHH!
Each year, some 5 million people try to get whipped into shape with the help of personal trainers. Many trainers are experienced, certified and qualified.
Just because someone says they are certified doesn't mean they are qualified. There's a huge difference.
Check their credentials! One or two online certifications does not a professional trainer make!
Just because someone likes to work out, has a decent body and thinks it would be "fun to workout others in the gym" does not mean they actually should. The adage of "no pain, no gain" is antiquated and left to those who know no better. Times have changed and, as it should, so has our approach to professional fitness training and how we train and coach our clients.
Be aware that no single state regulates fitness trainers. In other words, just about anyone can call themselves one. And there are many online "certifications" that can be had for a small price without ever having studied exercise and fitness science.
Fitness and exercise expert Anthony Abbott has a doctorate degree in education. He owns a company that instructs trainers called Fitness Institute International and says the public should be aware not every personal trainer is qualified.
"The public has this idea that if a person is certified that somehow the government has written off on this. There are no states or federal mandates for that certification," says Abbott.
Tips for choosing a personal fitness trainer
Credentials: Someone with a four-year degree in exercise science or a similar discipline is likely to have a better understanding of how the body responds to exercise than does a person with a less relevant background. Look for trainers who are certified by organizations such as the American College of Sports Medicine, the American Council on Exercise, National Strength and Conditioning Association and the International Sports Medicine Association. There are others, but do your homework and feel free to ask questions of anyone you consider working with.
Experience and references: Ask for an updated resume and references. If you have any health issues or limitations, it's important to find someone who's knowledgeable in those areas. Do not trust anyone to train you if they can only put you on a machine and count how many time you make it move. They should be able to explain muscle function, proper technique, why they chose a specific exercise and how to modify it to meet your needs.
Workouts: How will the trainer create a regimen specifically for you? Or do they train everyone exactly the same? And how will the program change to keep you interested and challenged? A good trainer will complete a comprehensive evaluation before your first workout and not only measures objective results but also look at other facets of your life, including your sleep habits and your energy level.
Style: Do you prefer a drill sergeant or a cheerleader?
Business practices: A professional trainer should provide you with a copy of all agreements and policies on billing, scheduling and cancellations. And lastly, check if your trainer maintains professional liability insurance.

Within retail banking, there have been two standout, truly disruptive innovations in the last 20 years, where a few banks applied mass marketing techniques to create something unique.
One of my previous financial industry innovation proposals, the "FinTech Supermarket," was about the possibility of an open selection of the best fintech partners. In other words, a client offering the best financial package of financial services under one roof.
Most plans offered today to counter and combat this group focus exclusively on military or geopolitical solutions. While important, these plans lack a key understanding of the branding, digital marketing and start-up mentality that facilitated the spread of ISIS's influence across the globe.
The framers of the U.S. Constitution were not wrong. Patents did serve an important purpose during the days when technological advances happened over decades or centuries. In today's era of exponentially advancing technologies, however, patents have become the greatest inhibitor to innovation and are holding the United States back.
Environmental innovations are much more than nice; they are also fiscally sound practices that add value and provide a tremendous boost to the bottom line. And eventually, they have a domino effect
When launching a firm that pursues disruptive innovation, it's best that you authentically deliver your promised benefits to society while anticipating and assessing how and where the disrupted will attempt to fight back so that you can respond in a strategic manner.
Today, with more mobile phones than people on Earth, any savvy foreign policy recognizes the power of this small device to do good or evil in the world. Gone are the days when rebels and reformers fought only using guns and physical bombs; this portable machine is as important as any as weapon.
Recently, I participated on a panel for the Council of Alumni Association Executives in Scottsdale, Arizona. A highlight during the event was a presentation by Kai Kight who identifies himself as an innovator, speaker, violinist, and entrepreneur.
If so, here are 10 actions you can take to dislodge your organization from its conventional thinking rut.
When Jeff Bezos - the founder of Amazon - started offering books to the public over the Internet, he could have decided to partner with Barnes & Noble or Borders and become their online distributor.
The Uber / Lyft / Sidecar battle seems to be an increasingly prevalent theme where startups are focused more on fighting each other than responding to countermoves from traditional players. With statistics showing that the San Francisco taxi industry is steadily collapsing, it is no wonder that Uber is more focused on retaining market share against other startup competitors.
The impact of technology on law is moving forward with all the subtlety of a charging rhinoceros, transforming traditional practice and spawning new forms of "legal service" delivery. Surprisingly, many expect that the swirling events will just enhance the existing system, leaving it essentially intact, but with certain processes improved.
Being an innovator, a disrupter, within your area of expertise, knowledge or ideation is not just about that a-ha moment. It's about capitalizing on it. It's about realizing the value of what you hold in your head or your hands and making it all happen.
Clearly there are some health care startups that will meaningfully improve health care. But there is justifiable concern that too many are focused on the wrong patients and wrong problems using technology with limited applicability.
Today we stand on the shoulders of giants in a rapidly changing world. In order to gain the competitive edge needed to stay relevant, it is imperative that businesses seek to disrupt their own business model before the competition does.
Women entrepreneurs are biologically hardwired to harness time, and tend to care about the communal impact they have on others. That's why we choose our tools wisely, such as the use of social media, which has already changed the world.

BLOG: Homeless man wants 'piece of the pie' after good deed.
The man is mentally ill. Just because this is a reprehensible way to react to charity does not mean he should be hated for it. He is homeless because he is sick, and deserves pity rather than rebuke.
Most of America's homeless are homeless because they have some psychiatric diagnosis. He seems to fit the criteria for paranoid schizophrenia. Many of you, including the author, who hold him to some normal standard of right action are ignoring the fact that he isn't normal. If he were normal he would be living in the apartment which has been provided for him.

Glenn Greenwald, among others, is enraged at Barack Obama's eager embrace of the latest disgorgement of third-rate juntaism to belch forth from the hallowed halls of the U.S. Congress: the "Detainee Photographic Records Protection Act of 2009," sponsored by those ever-stalwart champions of liberty, Senators Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman. As Greenwald describes it
[The bill] literally has no purpose other than to allow the government to suppress any "photograph taken between September 11, 2001 and January 22, 2009 relating to the treatment of individuals engaged, captured, or detained after September 11, 2001, by the Armed Forces of the United States in operations outside of the United States." As long as the Defense Secretary certifies — with no review possible — that disclosure would "endanger" American citizens or our troops, then the photographs can be suppressed even if [the Freedom of Information Act] requires disclosure...What kind of a country passes a law that has no purpose other than to empower its leader to suppress evidence of the torture it inflicted on people? Read the language of the bill; it doesn't even hide the fact that its only objective is to empower the President to conceal evidence of war crimes.What kind of country passes such a law? Why, a cheap, corrupt, third-rate junta state, which has elevated war and militarism into its supreme value, its "ultimate concern," its divinity — that's what kind of country. What other kind of country did you think was skulking there between Mexico and Canada these days?
But the perniciousness of the act doesn't lie merely in its immediate goal — suppressing war crimes evidence to protect the Terror War machinery that Obama has inherited and is expanding. After all, Obama has been working overtime from the beginning to suppress war crimes evidence against his predecessor, whom he treats more and more as a revered elder, not the despised leader of a discredited faction. No, it is, as they say, the principle of the thing: the enshrinement in law of the notion that anything that could be construed as "harmful" to American troops and operatives abroad — or even the sad sacks back home — can be suppressed by the government.
Adopting the principle of potential "endangerment" as a justification for government repression is not just an open door to tyranny — it kicks the door down and brings the rest of the front wall crashing with it. But of course, that edifice crumbled a long time ago. The only thing remotely surprising about this latest Banana Republic Act is that is so blatant in its gutless abandonment of even the slightest pretense that the United States is anything other than a militarist empire. And yet so many people — including Greenwald at times — continue to praise the new imperial manager whenever he makes a "good decision" or implements a "good policy" — presumably with the idea that you can tame or train the president by rewarding him for good deeds and sternly admonishing him when he does wrong.
But almost every leader in history has made some "good decisions" or implemented some "good policies" in one respect or another, even in the worst regimes. For example, both the Nazis and the Stalinists provided unprecedented programs of recreation and self-improvement for ordinary, long-denigrated, long-ignored workers. Hitler designed and promoted one of the world's most efficient and affordable cars, which after the war provided millions of ordinary people with new freedom and mobility. Soviet communism brought literacy, electricity, education and modernity to millions of people mired in a brutal, brutish existence. Saddam Hussein's Iraq did much the same.
It is very easy to pick through the record of any leader in any system and find things worthy of praise. But when the system itself is pernicious, when by its very nature it produces terrible evils on a vast scale — as, for example, a militarist empire is bound to do — then such praise, however piecemeal, hedged or nuanced, becomes a kind of unwitting support, or justification, or legitimization of the system.
And the system we are dealing with here is not a constitutional republic — one gone awry, perhaps, but still a basically sound system that can be put to rights with the proper behavior training of its leaders. No; what we have here is a militarist empire: devoted to war, driven by war and by the constant exercise and growth of authoritarian power that every state of war (and state at war) produces. It seems to me that the best reaction to such a system is the one offered by Thoreau, and quoted many times here before:
"How does it become a man to behave toward this American government to-day? I answer that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it."
The Graham-Lieberman War Crimes Shielding Act is just one more disgrace in a long train. Or as we said here in February 2008, when — with Barack Obama's help — the Democratic-controlled Senate voted to uphold Bush's illegal domestic spying program and immunize the corporations that helped carry it out: If the Republic Had not Died Long Ago, This Would Indeed Be the Death of the Republic:
We've been mourning the death of the American Republic here (and at other venues) for many years now, since Congress surrendered its Constitutional responsibilities with the "Enabling Act" it passed on September 14, 2001, giving Bush a blank check for "all necessary and appropriate force" against any organization or individual that he alone declared was somehow connected to the Sept. 11 attacks. Three days later, Bush then declared that he had the right to kill anyone on earth anytime he felt like it and there wasn't a damn thing anyone could do about it. The many, many outrages that have followed — the gulag, the torture program, the Hitlerian war crime in Iraq, the Military Commissions Act (which stripped away the ancient right of habeas corpus and also officially enshrined the concept of the "unitary executive"/presidential dictatorship into law), right down to Tuesday's vote to "legitimize" Bush's illegal keyhole-peeping and the corporate criminals who abetted it — have simply been further confirmations of the Republic's moribund state. Bush and the Democrats have been abusing the corpse over and over, like the sick and degraded moral perverts that they are.
I don't know what will come next. I don't know if the United States can crawl out of the filthy pit of empire and tyranny over the next few decades and claw its way toward some new manifestation of democracy — or if it will just keep sinking, raging, rotting, mutating further into a war-and-torture state that must feed constantly on human flesh to survive... But whatever will be, one thing is certain now: the constitutional republic of the United States is a dead letter, a relic of history.
And nothing that happens in November — when one imperial factotum or another gets their turn at the top of the greasy pole — will change that basic fact. The Freedom Road is a long road — and we're still a long way from taking even our first steps on that journey.

Here's what she had to say about her experience on the Florida set.
"We shot it in Florida, in Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, because that's where I think Channing (Tatum) was actually from. Basically, there was just a lot of hotness going on. A lot of hotness and talent. There was an explosion of hot talent, and it was delicious on my eyeballs. There's definitely stuff for the straight dudes to enjoy as well. Then there's the story, with (director) (Steven) Soderbergh, and it's a good movie. It was fun to work on something where everyone was around my age. Joe (Manganiello) and I had done Scrubs together, years ago, where each of us had a few lines. It was a fun experience to be with my peers, and all these people who are growing. I didn't do too much on it. I was just there for a week or two, just enough to get a little taste of that experience."
The actress also talked about mixing it up between studio projects and independent fare such as her new film 3 Days of Normal.
"I've done a shit-ton of independents. There's just no telling. There's one right now called 3 Days of Normal, that is so sweet. I'm so proud of it, and it's doing the festivals, but who knows. There are about four other ones, actually even five, because there is one I did two years ago that finally came out in a few theaters in New York and a few theaters in L.A. When I did that 3 Days of Normal one, we had no budget and we were all staying in a house in New Hampshire. There's no trailers, and it's just a family environment. There's not much of a crew, you just do what you need to do. You're working a trillion hours day. I actually put The Change-Up on tape, when I was on that movie, in my room in that house. It's just such a juxtaposition from The Change-Up, where you have a car and 18,000 people who are there to make sure that you're happy. Each thing is wonderful in its own way. I like to balance them. I think the little ones remind you of why you're doing it, and what it's about. There's something exciting about completing it, and the challenge of not having any money. I find that really exciting. It creates such a strong family environment. The big ones are amazing for obvious reasons, monetarily, but because they have all of these resources, you can do so much more. They're both really wonderful in completely different ways."
Magic Mike was released June 29th, 2012 and stars Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, Olivia Munn, Alex Pettyfer, James Martin Kelly, Cody Horn, Reid Carolin, Avery Camp. The film is directed by Steven Soderbergh.
