Perfect Save the Date!
We were 110% satisfied with these save the date cards! I looked around for several weeks & was SO happy to come across this design! The quality of our engagement photos was crystal clear & exactly as our preview showed. The graphic designer even changed the colors on the card to match our wedding! It could not have been more perfect for us :)
I'm really glad I used a template and altered it to make it my own. I could not have built a more beautiful save the date with out it! Costomizing every picture, colour and text options made it unique and still professional looking. I was nervous about if my pictures would look picselated or choppy, but they came out beautifully detailed. The option to do a really small post card size has made postage extremely affordable. This was important to us because we sent them around the world. Lastly, the package I recieved from magnet street was carefully put together, with extra sample material and discounts for when I choose to do my invitations

Samuel Wilson / The Herald
Marc Tachell measures his beard at his home in Everett on Thursday. Tachell received the silver medal in the Natural Full Beard category at the National Beard and Moustache championships in New Orleans.
A week ago, its magnificence won Marc Tachell, of Everett, the silver medal in the full-beard category at a national contest in New Orleans.
"My beard has been a permanent fixture for years," said Tachell, a Boeing tool engineer. "That's how some people recognize me.
"I get a lot of double-takes. Conservative folks will stop dead in their tracks when they see me. The rednecks want to know who I am trying to be and the more liberal crowd just tells me it's cool."
With sunglasses and a hat, Tachell, 61, often is compared to the bearded men of blues band ZZ Top. That's fine, he said, but just to be clear, Tachell is not a follower of "Duck Dynasty," a reality TV show whose characters also have lots of facial hair.
He's just a guy who, over the years, has been encouraged by various girlfriends to grow -- and grow -- that beard.
When he was a young man, Tachell's whiskers were short and red. With fair skin inherited from his Danish mother, the beard helped protect his face.
The Mountlake Terrace native and 1970 graduate of Woodway High School served two years in the Marine Corps before becoming a boilermaker in Fremont, Calif. He worked his way up to welder and foreman.
"Then the metal trade got hosed by Reaganomics," Tachell said. "I was glad to move back home and get a job with Boeing."
Tachell, employed with the aerospace company for 21 years, designs tools for the construction of airplane wings.
His boss, Mark Hotton, says Tachell is a hard worker and well-known around the Everett plant and in the community.
"He's easy to find in a crowd," Hotton said. "That beard's an attention-getter, that's for sure."
As a hobby, Tachell also runs a website, EverettRock.com, which since 2009 has been dedicated to helping its followers find live music in Snohomish County.
His boss, Hotton, a member of the band Boom Town, said Tachell offers a service appreciated in Everett.
Known by thousands of bands and the owners of hundreds of performance venues, Tachell is a frequent patron at music shows throughout the region. Everett Rock also has a Facebook page and YouTube recordings of many of his favorite local bands.
"I'll show up someplace and from the stage they'll announce that 'Everett Rock is in the house.' It's nice to be known for what I do for free."
The beard is part of the persona, Tachell admits.
It grows less than an inch a month. Once a year, Tachell trims off about five inches, just to keep it looking full.
The care regimen for the beard, much less than for his balding head, includes the periodic use of an expensive organic conditioner and a careful, three-minute blow-dry technique that keeps it straight and silky. He runs a hair pic through the beard, followed by a careful combing.
"A lot of girls want to touch it," Tachell said. "Heck, some guys even want to touch it. I just tell 'em, 'Sure, go ahead.' My girlfriend, Jodi, is fine with it."
Jodi Brady, 49, says she also encourages people to feel the beard.
Brady accompanied Tachell to the Just for Men National Beard and Moustache Championships in New Orleans last week. The event included a parade of bearded and mustachioed men down Bourbon Street in the French quarter, with a marching jazz band leading the way.
"I had so much fun, I was crying," Brady said. "I am so proud of Marc and his awesome beard."
Tachell began entering beard competitions a few years ago. In the spring, he won first place in the northwest regional beard competition and also was named the crowd favorite.
"I am not flamboyant like some of the guys who compete," Tachell said. "They pose and strut around the stage. I just stand there. The only thing I do special in competition is wear a dark shirt so the beard stands out."
Tachell plans to compete again next year in the national championships, to be held in Portland.
"Oh, yeah, I'm going to try again to win this thing," Tachell said. "I might even grow out my mustache a little bit to go with the beard. I've always kept the mustache short, for eating and kissing, but I think I can make it look good a little longer."

VIRGINIA BEACH -- 'What I like to do is protect other people,' said Sally Baer. That's why the 68-year-old wanted senior citizens to know about a telephone call she got Monday.
'He said, 'Well, we need to clarify all our information so we can send you a new Medicare card.' Now, anyone who's on Medicare knows they will not send you a card unless you request one,' Baer said.
Tammy Beiderman with Virginia Beach Police Department's Economic Crimes Unit told 13News her office has fielded multiple calls each week since the beginning of the year. In every case, the caller had a fairly thick foreign accent. Police said the questions he asked were clear attempts to gain access to people's bank accounts.
'What's gonna happen is if they give their Social Security number and their banking number, what's gonna happen is all their assets'll be wiped out of a bank, and I would hate to see that happen,' Baer stated. 'I just don't want to see elderly people get hammered and taken advantage of. It's a crime to me.'
Police encourage anyone who receives the call about a Medicare card or any other odd calls to let them know.

Sensor-enabled things are becoming more commonplace, precursors to a larger and more complex framework that most consider the ultimate promise of the IoT: things connecting, interacting, sharing, storing, and over time perhaps learning and predicting based on habits, behaviors, location, preferences, purchases and more. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Tom Wesselman, Director of Communications Ecosystem Architecture at Plantronics, will examine the still nascent IoT as it is coalescing, including what it is today, what it might ultimately be, the role of wearable tech, and technology gaps stil...

The explosion of connected devices / sensors is creating an ever-expanding set of new and valuable data. In parallel the emerging capability of Big Data technologies to store, access, analyze, and react to this data is producing changes in business models under the umbrella of the Internet of Things (IoT). In particular within the Insurance industry, IoT appears positioned to enable deep changes by altering relationships between insurers, distributors, and the insured.

Comments about Serfas True 750 Headlight:
True 750 is an excellent light. Far better than the older True500. Excellent brightness and I appreciate the USB charging capacity. It is certainly much heavier than the 500 but the increased battery capacity is worth it. My only problem is the USB micro port. After about 90 charges, the USB connection on the light became unusable and the light had to go back to the dealer. Given the robustness of the light, it is too bad that they used a USB system that is prone to problems. Take care with repeated use of the USB port

Cute , but small
I ordered the Perfect Promises boxes to use as wedding favors. They arrived yesterday , I was shocked to see how small they are but i think they will be ok. They seem a little complicated to put together but hopefully everything will work out.
I ordered a few products from magnetStreet, I must say I was really impress with all the items I ordered. especially the wedding favor boxes. The boxes turn out to be so beautiful, the quality is excellent. one thing I was a bit worried about, was putting the boxes together, but once my 10 year old niece looked at the simple instruction that came along with the boxes, it turn out to be child's play. P.S a big shout out to the staff at magnetStreet, all of you were excellent. everyone that I encounter was a delight to talk with
Beautiful Boxes
The boxes are very nice and small. Great for candy. Very compact and professionally designed. You will love the size and color. With all the money we've spent on wedding favors, every little bit saved helps. The bigger the box the more you have to put in them. With this size, the savings are great.

The buyer of a Newport Beach mansion that recently sold for $27 million didn't find the 18,000-square-foot property by poring over the Multiple Listing Service.
The house was a pocket listing, discreetly marketed by a real estate agent to a select group of buyers.
Long favored by celebrities and high-end homeowners, word-of-mouth listings have become more prevalent among all types of sellers in Southern California's revitalized real estate market. Spurred by a shortage of homes for sale and rapidly rising prices, many sellers turned to pocket listings to test the market.
Some simply want privacy, preferring low-key deals over mass marketing to a parade of Internet lookie-loos. Others use the so-called whisper listings to create an air of exclusivity. Pocket listings also help a seller avoid the MLS tally of how long a home has been languishing on the market unsold.
Pocket listings run the gamut, from informal agreements with a neighborhood agent, to signed contracts, to blind listings on online networks.
"They are so popular now that brokers and agents have been forming private groups and clubs to market these off-MLS properties," said broker Al Ricci of Orange, president of the Pacific West Association of Realtors. He recently shot a YouTube video advising would-be home sellers to steer clear of pocket listings. He stressed that putting a home on the MLS for maximum exposure – and, along with that, to get the best price – should outweigh a homeseller's preference for privacy.
"A real estate agent should advise their client that the decision to exclude their home from the MLS may have a significant downside," he said.
A spokesman for a pocket-listing website, however, contends that a lack of widespread exposure for a property can be a welcome plus in the intrusive Internet age, and that exclusively marketed listings shouldn't be available only to hotshots and top agents.
"They don't have to have a $5 million house,'' said Chuck Dorfman, a real estate agent and spokesman for MarketPocketPro.com. He added, "If your property is priced to sell it will sell, whether it's privately or on the MLS."
Realtors' campaign
Pocket listings can come at a cost. A smaller pool of potential buyers could mean losing out at a higher sale price.
The California Association of Realtors this summer led a campaign against the listings, urging sellers to "think twice" before going that route.
"A property listed on the MLS has the advantage of being actively marketed … to a vast network of potential buyers," association president Don Faught said. "This type of broad market exposure creates the potential for multiple offers above the asking price."
The association cited a survey by a San Francisco Bay Area MLS showing that 74 percent of real estate agents stated an off-MLS listing decreases the chance sellers will get the best prices.
Real estate agents have also suggested that an unscrupulous agent can steer a client toward a pocket listing so the agent can limit who gets in on the deal and double end the commission, meaning a single agent pockets the commission paid on both sides of a deal. Some agents, though, say they discount the fee in pocket deals, especially if they aren't spending their time and money on open houses or marketing.
"Pocket listings are a really thin line as far as ethical behavior goes," said Chris Pollinger, senior vice president for sales at First Team. "If I'm really representing my client the best, I'm going to put the listing out for the greatest amount of people to see it and bid on it."

7 Tips for a Social Entrepreneur
Keep to Your PrinciplesGo the Extra MileThink Outside the BoxRun Your Nonprofit Like a For-ProfitUse the UnusablePlay Like a GirlHave a Great Story to Tell
Fred Keller, founder and CEO of West Michigan plastics manufacturer Cascade Engineering, keeps a card in his pocket with a set of reminders from John Wesley, 18th century Methodist theologian, on conducting a good life. Keller, who is an active Methodist, says his religious practice grounds his business activities. "It's a matter of being grounded in principles and carrying them out," Keller says.
Adam Lowry, co-founder of home and personal care products manufacturer Method, has pushed his company to find new ways to be eco-friendly since it became the first benefit corporation in 2007. The company's green products are sold in recyclable plastic packaging. Similarly, Norwood Marble & Granite, a Brentwood, Md. stone and tile fabrication and installation company, recycled only a small percentage of the millions of gallons of water it used when the company was starting out. After failing its first attempt to become a benefit corporation, the company made some changes, and now recycles 98 percent of its water waste.
When Dave Eggers, author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius as well as other titles, and Ninive Calegari, long-time public school teacher, joined up to found 826 National. The organization works with children, many of them from low-income areas, to develop a love of reading and writing. But the founders ran into a problem. The storefront they'd found in San Francisco's Mission District was zoned exclusively for retail. So Eggers and Calegari decided they'd sell some pirate supplies in the same space in which they hosted creative writing classes. Now, elementary school-aged children take writing classes next to racks of eye patches and anti-scurvy medication.
SightLife now has 96 employees and $14 million in annual revenue. The non-profit eye bank based in Seattle supplies 5,000 corneas a year. Or they do now, thanks in large part to CEO Monty Montoya. When Montoya arrived in 1997, SightLife was called the Lions Eye Bank, and it was struggling. "We realized that if we didn't start operating like a business, we were going to go out of business," Montoya says. He set out to increase efficiency, hired trained technicians, and ditched the old name. He brought former Starbucks executive Tim Schottman on board. When SightLife's efficiency landed them with more corneas than they could find recipients, Montoya expanded the country's reach to the developing world.
EcoScraps was founded in 2010 when three Brigham Young University classmates decided to put the decomposing contents of Provo, Utah garbage cans to good use. Now, their company's eight full-time and fourteen part-time employees collect 20 tons of food waste a day from more than 70 locations across Utah and Arizona and turn it into rich compost. The company isn't yet producing enough compost per day to sell to major home and garden outlets like Home Depot, but they hope to soon. Brandon Sargent, one of the co-founders, said he's an entrepreneur first and an environmental do-gooder second: "The trouble with nonprofits is that they can only do as much good as they can before their funds run out."
Like a Girl Scout, that is. The Girl Scouts of America are one of the best and longest-functioning examples of a nonprofit that generates earned income. The organization began selling cookies as a fundraising technique in 1917, five years after they were founded. Their 3.3 million members now generate revenues of $700 million a year. The model works for companies whose workforce doesn't have a high percentage of pigtails, too. A company called Living Goods has perfected a system of microfranchising whereby the San Francisco-based nonprofit sells health products at rates radically below the market to rural Ugandans, who then sell them at a profit. The medicine reaches those who need it at a reduced rate.
Scott Harrison, founder of charity: water, a nonprofit that provides clean water sources to underserved areas, had an epiphany on a beach in Uruguay when he was 28. When he got home to New York City, Harrison met a friend at a bar to tell him about his plans to ditch the high life and dedicate himself to social causes. When the friend bought Harrison a $16 margarita, the convert to social issues began to rant with zeal on how much food that money could have bought a family in the developing world. Now, Harrison says he focuses on telling people about the good done by the money they do give. "If these people are willing to spend $16 on a drink, wait until they hear the stories of what is possible," Harrison told Inc. "I believed it hadn't been told in the right way to capture their imagination."

Comments about Camelbak Octane LR Pack:
I have been using a Mule for years, I think have three that I have worn out over the years. When I saw the new designs putting the water at the bottom and storage at the top I was very excited. This is a really great idea and so much more comfortable.
The only con is if you carry lots of gear you will need a bigger bag, I have been riding with a half full Mule for years so now I am packed pretty tight, but I carry a lot of stuff so I think 90% of people would be fine with this bag.

SCCA, Speedcast Ink 3-Year Deal to Stream Runoffs Live
TOPEKA, Kan. (Sept. 10, 2013) – Sports Car Club of America, Inc. and Speedcast Productions have announced an agreement that will broadcast the SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® through 2015.
Expanding on a partnership that began in 2009, every Runoffs race will be streamed live through SpeedcastTV.com, with individual races hosted On Demand in perpetuity.
"We were at a crossroads in 2009, with our broadcast television deal ending and not being in a position to fund a similar program," SCCA Vice President of Marketing and Communications Eric Prill said. "Speedcast offered a new alternative that proved to be the wave of the future. Now, professional racing series utilize webcasts for live races across the world, and each Runoffs race has been accessible to the masses free of charge for the last four years."
The agreement carries the Runoffs through three separate venues, Road America in 2013, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in 2014 and Daytona International Speedway in 2015.
"Everyone at Speedcast is very excited about our partnership with SCCA," Speedcast Productions President Clark Cambern said. "As a former Runoffs competitor, I understand just how important this historic event is, and I'm honored to be a part of it going forward."
This year's broadcast will again be available in HD online and via mobile platforms including Apple's iOS. The on-air team includes broadcast veterans Rick Benjamin, John Bisignano, Dorsey Schroeder and Jim Tretow as well as current Pirelli World Challenge driver, and former Runoffs Champion, Randy Pobst and new team member Jeff Lepper, who calls the live World Challenge races on SpeedcastTV.
The 50th SCCA National Championship Runoffs, which begins at Road America on Monday, Sept. 16 with practice, will stream live at www.speedcasttv.com/scca Friday, Sept. 20 through Sunday, Sept. 22 beginning at 8:30 a.m. (CDT). Each day features eight 52-mile Championship races, through 6 p.m. (CDT).

Coach Stuart Lancaster has named an unchanged England starting side despite last week's defeat to Wales.
Lancaster has resisted making changes for Sunday's game against France, reasoning that the team performed well as a collective in the previous match and deserves another opportunity as a unit.
There are two changes to the bench as flyhalf Charlie Hodgson returns from injury and Tom Palmer replaces crocked lock Courtney Lawes.
England – 15 Ben Foden, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Manu Tuilagi, 12 Brad Barritt, 11 David Strettle, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Lee Dickson; 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Tom Croft, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Mouritz Botha, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Dylan Hartley, 1 Alex Corbisiero.

Baseball Ends 2013 Regular Season with 10-9 Loss to #10 UNC Pembroke
April 23, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Visiting UNC Pembroke would take advantage of four errors by Pfeiffer University claiming a 10-9 victory in the 2013 regular season finale on Tuesday afternoon. The 10th-ranked Braves improve to 33-14 with the victory while the Falcons head into the Conference tournament this weekend after an 18-30 regular season.
Daniel Fraga wasted no time in getting the Braves on the board three pitches into the game lifted a solo shot to right for a 1-0 lead. The Falcons would come right back to score a pair in their first to grab a 2-1 lead. Pfeiffer began the frame with four-straight singles as Kyle Hackeny scored the tying run on a wild pitch before Izzy Perez drove in Jon Gray with his base hit to right.
UNCP scored the equalizer in the fourth as Jordan Edgerton started the frame with a single to left before moving to second on a stolen base. After sliding to third on a Brett Huffman groundout to second, Edgerton would later score the tying run on a wild pitch for a 2-2 game.
Pfeiffer would quickly regain the one-run advantage after Tyler Summers belted another solo blast to left-center as the Falcons took a 3-2 lead into the fifth. UNCP would storm back to score four in the fifth grabbing a 6-3 lead halfway through Tuesday's contest.
With the bases loaded and nobody out, Dalton Knight sent a groundball to short that would result in two errors on the play, three runs scoring and Knight being thrown out trying to score on the throwing error all apart of the same play. Fraga would pick up the first RBI in the inning taking a bases loaded hit-by-pitch to temporarily tie the game at 3-3. UNCP pushed the lead to four using a Drew Alford RBI single in the sixth.
Pfeiffer came back to use the long ball in their half of the sixth to cut the lead down to one at 7-6. All with two outs, Summers started by connecting for his second homer of the day ripping a two-run shot to the opposite field in right-center. On the very next pitch, Kevin Price crushed his solo homer in almost the same identical spot as Summers and the Falcons all of a sudden found themselves down by just one.
The Braves would do more two-out damage in the seventh scoring three to extended the lead back at to four. Drew Cole picked up a RBI with a ground rule double to left while Max Gagnon singled him in. The other run of the inning was tallied on Pfeiffer's fourth error of the game.
The Falcons again try to chip away late with single runs in the seventh and eighth beginning with Aarin Sharpe's two-out double out to left and Zac Chilton's RBI double in the eighth. In the ninth, Summers would make it a one-run game scoring Sharpe with his single back up the middle. Pfeiffer would out-hit UNCP 16-11 but the Braves were able to take advantage of the four Pfeiffer errors en route to the one-run win.
Pfeiffer would benefit from from Summers' pair of homers and three RBI on Tuesday while Sharpe and Summers each picked up three hits in their four plate appearances.
Pfeiffer will now look towards their opening game in the 2013 Conference Carolinas tournament beginning Thursday afternoon in Burlington. The Falcons, seeded fifth in the six-team tournament, will face second-seeded Coker in the opening round contest beginning at 3:00 p.m. Live stats will be available for the double-elimination tournament at http://www.gofalconsports.com.

EXCLUSIVE: Twilightish Interview with Billy Burke (@billy_burke)
Twilightish: How does it feel to see the end of the Twilight Saga? Are you happy to move on?
Billy: It's weird you know? Cause it's kinda like being on a television show for the last three years. It was a steady gig for me you know? I can't say that I'm heart broken about it but it was a good gig for me. I'm a little on the fence about how I feel. I think that it has run its course, and we as artists and audiences have gotten everything we can possibly get out of it. Always happy to be moving on. I have no idea what is next for me.
Twilightish: Do you wish for more movies?
Billy: No, no I don't wish for more Twilight movies. Anything beyond this would be pushing cartoon level.
Twilightish: When you look back on Twilight, would you do it all over again or pass?
Billy: Of Course! Absolutely! Actually, I enjoyed playing Charlie. I liked him!
Twilightish: What will you miss the most (or the least) about the Saga?
Billy: What I won't miss is the facial hair! It was a cute idea at first when I brought it up during the filming of the first movie. Then I had no idea we were going to make 5 movies. What will I miss? Charlie. I like playing him, I felt comfortable in his skin, even though he is nothing like me. I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities for parodies down the road.
Twilightish: Of all the character's you've played, where does Charlie rank?
Billy: Well in terms of career gigs, probably in the top 3, but I have a couple of my own personal favorites. I'm probably not going to tell you what they are cause I feel weird about that. Although, Dill Scallion (1999) was more fun than people should be allowed to have making a movie. We shot it guerrilla style, sneaking into gigs and filming concert scenes.
Twilightish: Do you have a favorite moment from any of the 5 films? Either on camera or off camera?
Billy: I think my favorite moments are yet to come in the next two movies, I can't tell you what they are but they are yet to come!
Twilightish: Did you find it emotional to watch Bella get married?
Billy: You know what? It wasn't so much that it was emotional. Those days we were shooting the wedding, in all honesty, there was something about them that brought stuff up not only in me, but in other people on the set. Something that was visceral. We ended up saying "this is kinda weird isn't it?" I can't explain what it was, it wasn't like my daughter was getting married, but there was definitely something that was quite touching going on.
Twilightish: Were you ever Team Jacob? Or do you think Charlie would have chosen Edward between the two?
Billy: I have never played that game. I suppose had I ever read the books I may have had a stronger opinion, but I just don't care. Sorry!! It's not my thing. I think Taylor and Rob are great guys but I don't get into the fantasy world of picking a favorite boy character.
Twilightish: How much of yourself did you put into the character of Charlie?
Billy: Charlie has a sort of reserved nature, that I'm told I have as well. Beyond that he's a cop and I couldn't be further away from a cop, in attitude and daily actions. He also loves to watch sports and I don't really. It's a world of make believe, originally Charlie didn't read like he does now. Those ticklish funny moments came out by accident when I started working the part. So I guess Melissa (Rosenberg) took that and ran with it for the rest of the series. That was nice!
Twilightish: If you could (or did) take a prop or costume piece of Charlie's, what would it (or what was it) have been?
Billy: Not really into Charlie's wardrobe at all! If I never see another flannel shirt I'll be fine! But I may have saved the 'stache for the Smithsonian.
Twilightish: More recently we saw you in Red Riding Hood, how was it working with Catherine Hardwicke again?
Billy: Catherine and I have a great working relationship. We have an understanding and language to communicate with each other, she knows what she can get from me and I know how to get what I want out of her too. Super, great, interesting, artistic lady. I'll work with her again if she ever asks.
Twilightish: Do you have other projects on the horizon?
Billy: Nothing lined up, I'm just looking at stuff right now. I have to say, a lot of the stuff I've seen has not been great. I'm really going to focus on working on the new album, concentrate on doing that. And then the next movie gig that I do, I want it to be something that I love. It may take awhile.
Billy: I would imagine probably not until the end of the year or next year. It could come together a lot sooner but I'm super lazy. (Laughed)
Twilightish: What was the first record you ever bought?
Billy: Bought with my own money? It was The Cars, who strangely enough are on tour again. It was the The Cars - "The Cars" album.
Twilightish: Where do you pull some of your inspiration for your music from?
Billy: Inspiration? Observations! I do a lot of my writing by looking around, its very "Oh look at this, look at that, this situation I'm in, look at them over there, that's weird!". Music is where I can throw out my philosophies and people can choose to listen or not, I'm not in peoples faces about it. As far as musical influences go, Tom Waits, Troubadour Poets like Bob Dylan, David Bowie. I like a lot of the new stuff that is coming out, love Band of Horses, Mumford and Sons and stuff thats got stuff to say.
Twilightish: Last Question: Was there an official burial for the Swan 'Stache? Will it make an appearance at a Twilight Hall of Fame?
Billy: Every time we're about to start shooting I have to grow it back, takes about a month to grow in. Then immediately upon wrapping it comes off! I may or may not have been lying about where the 'stache is... it's a mystery.
Thanks to Billy Burke for taking the time to chat with us! Can't wait for that new album!

LOVE BILLY!! He cracks me up!ReplyDelete
Definitely 'something' going on during the wedding, huh, Billy? Hmmmmm... What could it possibly be? A practice run for R&K? The real thing? Something they may never do, but had fun playing? [I'm going with the 1st one] ♥ReplyDelete
Billy [Charlie] is one of my favorite characters in the movies. His line delivery is perfect, and he's so handsome!!! ☺
Great interview! Nice job. :)ReplyDelete
Great interview and thanks for sharing!!! Always love reading new stuff about/from BB.ReplyDelete
I knew he wouldn't answer the "Team Edward/Jacob" question, though! ;)
Did you talk to him on the phone, meet him, chat with him online?
And how did this interview opportunity come to be? Did you approach him about interviewing him?
BTW you all should check out the movie Dill Scallion (if you haven't seen it yet)... it's hilarious and Billy is amazing in it (and he sings... a lot!).
I wrote a blog post about it after I saw it for the first time:

I wish he'd stop doing interviews, he's horrible. Between saying any more of this Saga would be "cartoonish" and "if I'd read he books..." way to act like you are only there for a paycheck. Eat it up, because this is pretty much the only real career you'll have.
Although like everyone else I ADORE Rob..... as a near 50 year old, Billy is more my age group... think I will start a Charlie Team. Charlie is SO funny and handsome!!!! <3 xxReplyDelete

CHICAGO - A balanced effort that saw all 10 players who saw action contribute led the Miami University women's basketball team to a 71-37 victory over Chicago State on Sunday. The RedHawks improve to 6-4 on the season, while the Cougars fall to 1-9.
Kelsey Simon made it a successful homecoming to the Chicago area as she recorded her first career double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Kirsten Olowinski and Jessica Rupright led Miami with 12 points apiece.
The 37 points Chicago State scored tied for the eighth-fewest points allowed in a game by the RedHawks. It was the fewest points Miami allowed since it defeated Akron, 94-32, on Feb. 24, 2001.
Three early layups from Olowinski would give Miami a 9-2 lead. After a Cougar bucket, a three-pointer from Courtney Osborn, followed by layups from Hannah Robertson and Haley Robertson were part of a 20-1 run that made it 29-5 with 5:32 remaining in the half. Miami held Chicago State without a field goal for nearly nine minutes, while a three-point play from Hannah McCue and a three-pointer from Hannah Robertson would help complete the run.
The Robertson twins would close out the half with back-to-back jumpers, but the Cougars finished on an 8-4 run to cut the 'Hawks lead to 20 at 35-15 at the break.
Miami shot 46.7 percent (14-for-30) for the half, while holding Chicago State to only 23.1 percent (6-for-26) shooting during the same time frame. Hannah Robertson led the RedHawks at the break with nine points.
It was a slow start offensively for both teams to begin the second half. Osborn would find Simon for a layup at the 14:10 mark to make it 44-20. The senior point guard and leading scorer on the season turned distributor on Sunday, finishing with a team-high seven assists.
Courtney Larson hit back-to-back layups to push the advantage to 26 at 50-24. Chicago State would get as close as 25, but the team began feeding the ball to Rupright down low. She would either hit the layup or convert on free throws after being fouled to make it 62-33 at the 5:42 mark. The RedHawks would cruise from there, going on to win by 34 points, 71-37.
Miami finished the game shooting 47.5 percent (28-for-59). The RedHawks had 19 assists on their 28 made baskets. They held the Cougars to 26.5 percent (13-for-49) shooting. Miami forced CSU into 25 turnovers and outboarded the Cougars, 43-29.
For its next two contests, Miami will play regular season games outside of the United States for the first time in school history when it travels to Cancun, Mexico to participate in the Caribbean Classic. The RedHawks will face Creighton on Friday, Dec. 21 at 3:30 p.m. (EST). They will then take on Nevada on Saturday, Dec. 22 at 1 p.m. (EST).

Freshman C.J. Dreyfuss shot his second best round of his college career as he posted a four over par 76, which was good enough to put him into a tie for 14th.
Two Falcons are tied for 20th as A.T. Cashwell and Zach Weaver both shot a five over par 77.
To round off the Falcons, David Weinberger shot a six over par 78 as he is tied for 27th on the individual leaderboard.

Campaign for Police Accountability
In October of 2012, the JFREJ membership voted to launch a new campaign on policing, working with Communities United for Police Reform (CPR) and other organizations involved in the fight to end Stop & Frisk, NYPD surveillance of Muslim, Arab, and South Asian communities, and other related struggles. Building on our long history of organizing against police violence, racial profiling, Islamophobic surveillance, JFREJ has a key role to play in this city-wide grassroots work, both legislatively and in the streets.
By organizing Jewish communities, we can mobilize constituencies currently untapped by CPR to support the coalition's work. Through the relationships we have built through our past work, we can help bring together seemingly disparate aspects of the growing movement around policing and incarceration. In our clusters of members in neighborhoods across the city, we have a tactically significant resource to offer struggles on the most local level. And through our creativity in action and our commitment to strong relationships of solidarity, JFREJ can be a vital part of making this a central issue in local politics.
The Campaign for Police Accountability has produced a flyer to help us understand our rights, tactics and responsibilities when we witness an arrest or police action. Please download the flyer, and get involved in the campaign.
If you have questions, or to get involved in the Campaign for Police Accountability, email campaign chairs emfole [at] gmail [dot] com (AJ) (emfole -at- gmail) or Amanda (amanda -at- jfrej.org)
To join JFREJ's Campaign for Police Accountability listserve, please email AJ at emfole [at] gmail [dot] com (emfole -at- gmail)

I had a tin of golden syrup for a long time - longer than I care to admit. When I opened it up yesterday (to sweeten up some mulled wine), it was granular (a bit like honey can be), and black around the edges.
Is this 'bad', or just different?
Is the blackness the result of some chemical reaction with the tin?

GARETH DUNCAN watched France break down an early 13-3 deficit to secure a 39-22 win over Argentina in Lille.
Former France coach Marc Lievremont once highlighted Les Bleus' inconsistencies by saying: 'One day, my team will deliver an 18/20 performance. The next week, they'll put in an 8/20 performance.'
However, his successor Philippe Saint-Andre seems to be getting the best out of his charges as they added a good win over Argentina to their 33-6 thrashing of the Wallabies in Paris last Saturday.
An upset was on the cards as the Pumas rushed into a 10-point advantage during the first quarter of the fixture. However, France gained the ascendancy thereafter thanks to their accurate tactical kicking game, smart interplay and resilient defence.
After a frantic first half, the hosts did well to suffocate and restrict the Pumas by bossing possession and tightening up the game. Argentina threatened in the loose, but their attack stifled as soon as France delivered more appropriate tactics after the break.
With flyhalf Frederic Michalak, who kicked 24 points with the boot, slotting four penalties and a drop goal in the second half, France sealed the win.
Argentina started off strongly as they secured an early try via inside centre Marcelo Bosch. The midfielder enjoyed an easy run to the whitewash after clever passing and support play. Flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez added the conversion before slotting two penalties.
However, France rallied into a 24-13 half-time lead thanks to a brace from wing Vincent Clerc and flank Yannick Nyanga, who's been in great form after a five-year international absence.
Clerc's first came from great interplay among backs and forwards, which exposed the Argentine defence out wide, before a clever chip put the veteran through for his double. Nyanga showed great power as he attacked around the fringes to motor to the tryline.
The second stanza saw no tries scored as both teams battled via the boot. Michalak enjoyed more successful shots at goal (five compared to Sanchez's three) and kicked France to victory.

Gallery: LEED Silver Emigration Canyon Residence is Clad in Recycled St...
Very little site excavation was done, preserving the natural landscape
The board-framed and concrete home is clad in textured steel shingles that will weather well in this rather inhospitable environment. A 30 foot operable wall opens out into an outdoor room overlooking the canyon, in-floor radiant heating keeps the place warn in winter, and solatube skylights pump all kinds of daylighting inside.
Very little excavation was conducted in order to build the home, which helps to preserve the spectacular surroundings, including a host of native oak trees. Finally, only indigenous, drought-resistant plant species were used to landscape the garden, which minimizes watering and supports biodiversity.
