NYJ and NYG answer some of our questions
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
I know it's the middle of training camp. I know it was a preseason exhibition that means absolutely nothing. But man, the Jets looked good. Man, the Jets looked like they could contend for a Super Bowl.
Ugh, I hate myself for writing something like that based on one measly preseason game in which the team I'm touting lost by 15 points. But the first-team offense, for the most part, looked very good – except when the Jets got to the red zone – and the defense, like last year, looked pretty nasty. They looked like a team that still could be playing in February.
If ….
If, that is, they get back Darrelle Revis. Because without Revis, New York might not be the Super Bowl team coach Rex Ryan thinks they can be. A virtual unknown WR named Victor Cruz made that pretty clear tonight during the Giants 31-16 win against the Jets.
Earlier today, we had three questions for each team entering tonight's game. Let's look at the answers (which are in bold.)
1) How will Kyle Wilson look? Without Darrelle Revis around, Wilson is sure to get looks with the first team. How he performs could affect the team's negotiations with Revis. If Wilson looks completely competent, the Jets can afford (perhaps) to take their time with Revis. If he looks overmatched, maybe they'll give Revis' agent a quick phone call post-game. It wasn't Wilson that looked overmatched. It was the rest of the secondary, minus Antonio Cromartie. We'll get to him later, but Victor Cruz beat three different Jets CBs for touchdowns (Dwight Lowery, Drew Coleman and Marquice Cole). More than perhaps anybody else associated with these teams, Revis might have gained the most tonight. Except maybe for Cruz.
2) Can Mark Sanchez handle a more high-profile passing attack? Last year, Sanchez could allow his running game and his team's defense to help him win games. This season, the Jets likely will allow him to test his arm a little more. We might get a few chances to see that tonight. Aside from the tipped INT on his first pass of the game – a throw into double coverage Sanchez shouldn't have made – he was very impressive, completing 13 of 17 passes for 119 yards and a TD.
3) Does LaDainian Tomlinson still have it? This obviously won't be answered tonight. But if Hard Knocks is any indication – and that's debatable – Tomlinson still has speed and the ability to make the big play (even while catching it out of the backfield). I imagine he'll get some playing time tonight to see how he performs in a game-like atmosphere. Tomlinson played the entire first half and showed some bursts of speed that were exactly what the Jets wanted to see. Shonn Greene is still the starter – no question about that after blowing away the Giants defense – but Tomlinson looks like he has some fuel left in the tank. The 16-yard TD that was called back because of a hold was pretty exciting for Jets fans to behold.
1) Will the Giants defense be better than last year? It'd be tough to have been worse. As Clark Judge so astutely points out in his Giants camp report , the squad allowed 427 points last season, the most since 1966. To say that's embarrassing is an understatement. Let's see how new defensive coordinator Perry Fewell's men perform. Not all that impressively actually. Sanchez pretty much accomplished whatever he wanted, and Greene gashed them for mid-sized gains. Plus, the personnel confusion on Sanchez's TD pass to Brad Smith was embarrassing.
2) How will the Giants' new additions on defense help? New York get safety Kenny Phillips back and the Giants have added LB Keith Bulluck, first-round pick DE Jason Pierre-Paul and safeties Antrel Rolle and Deon Grant. How will they all mesh? The Giants have added some veterans, but does that mean all of these players still have the ability to dominate on defense? Phillips and Bulluck didn't play. Rolle and Grant were pretty good early. Pierre-Paul was, at times, dominated by Jets OT Damien Woody, but he managed to elude Woody with his speed late in the second quarter and sack Sanchez. Less than a minute later, though, Pierre-Paul was whistled for offsides.
3) How much will the Giants miss Domenik Hixon on returns? Last year, he averaged 15.1 yards on punt returns and performed relatively well on kickoffs. But he tore his ACL early in training camp, and it sounds like RB Danny Ware will handle kickoffs and CB Aaron Ross will take punts. Yet, Ware only has returned two kicks in his career, and Ross hasn't done it at all (though he seemed pretty decent at it his final two years at Texas) The loss of Hixon could be a pretty big deal. Let's talk about special teams as a whole here. P Matt Dodge was fairly horrendous, line-driving his punts and having another one blocked. Three of Andre Brown's kick returns didn't extend past the 22-yard line. Ross did nothing of note while fielding two punts.
-A few other observations: Eli Manning said the mix-up between him and Brandon Jacobs was the quarterback's fault. In case you missed it, the two collided on what was supposed to be a handoff, Jets LB Calvin Pace then blind-sided Manning and popped off his helmet and Manning's forehead smacked into Jim Leonhard's helmet, opening a three-inch gash on his forehead that needed 12 stitches to close. Said Manning in quotes distributed by the team: "I feel fine. I feel normal. Sometimes you make a mistake and get hit in the head."
-Cruz was a joy to watch. He made a one-handed catch on a 64-yard TD pass, and he was the most remarkable subplot of the evening. He's battling with Sinorice Moss for the sixth WR spot. Moss didn't play because of a groin injury. Moss, in the next three games, should make sure he finds a way to get on the field.
-The Giants first-team offense recorded five yards in the first quarter. Don't forget that.
-Kellen Clemens replaced Sanchez to start the second half. Wait a minute, I thought Mark Brunell was the backup QB.

Top 10 Most Overpaid Players in the NFL?
Foxsports ran an interesting piece today: the top 10 most overpaid players in football.
Overall, this is a good list. Including Jacobs might be faulty, given that his power is key to New York's run-based offense. Manning signed his contract shortly after winning the Super Bowl – nobody raised any objection then.
The Cassel deal could haunt Scott Pioli for a long time. The fact that Carey made nearly $1 million per game last season is shocking. He's a solid but unspectacular right tackle.
Roy Williams has cost the Cowboys money and draft picks, but it's the Cowboys' fault for not realizing that his north/south style of play was ill-fit for Jason Garrett's catch-and-run offense.
The Redskins are getting what they deserve with Haynesworth. The man is a superstar, but only when he smells new money. Throughout his entire career, Haynesworth has griped and underachieved in every non-contract year. This isn't to say he's a bum. No matter what, Haynesworth attracts double teams, which will always make him more valuable than his stats indicate. But $41 million guaranteed? Ouch.

Oman's Renaissance Man
As reform protests grow in the Sultanate, it's worth remembering that its ruler doesn't deserve to be mentioned among the worst of the Arabian autocrats.
- By Robert D. KaplanRobert D. Kaplan is a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and the author of The Revenge of Geography: What the Map Tells Us About Coming Conflicts and the Battle Against Fate.
The democratic upheaval across the Arab world has now become so profound and overwhelming — so unstoppable — as to engulf arguably the least oppressive and most competent autocracy in the region: that of Oman. Compared with other Arab countries, Oman has scored comparatively well in recent years in human rights reports compiled by the U.S. State Department. Although there is no political freedom when it comes to choosing the country's ruler, citizens have participated in free and fair elections for the Majlis al-Shura that advises Sultan Qaboos bin Said. Reports of arbitrary killings and arrests and politically motivated disappearances are rare. In the four decades since he overthrew his reactionary father, Sultan Said bin Taimur, Qaboos has single-handedly brought the country from the throes of anarchy and rebellion to being a strong and modern country with the minimum of repression. I have never encountered a place in the Arab world so well-governed as Oman, and in such a quiet and understated way.
Oman was historically two places. First, there are the coastal cities, which for millennia have been infused with the cosmopolitanism of the Indian Ocean that, thanks to the predictability of its monsoon winds, has brought to Oman the cultural richness of civilizations from as far away as East Africa and the East Indies. Then there is the desert hinterland, a warren of nomadic tribes battling each other for scarce water. When Qaboos came to power, the coast and the desert were politically split. A separatist rebellion had broken out in Dhofar, in the southwestern desert near new oil deposits. The rebellion was hijacked by Marxist radicals. The British backed the Omanis of the coast. When the 29-year-old Qaboos came to power in 1970, he offered a general amnesty to the Dhofari tribesmen. Tribal guerrillas who surrendered were incorporated into the British-trained armed forces. The desert interior was economically developed. Qaboos initiated a nonstop campaign of consultations with friend and enemy to unite the country. It was classic counterinsurgency-cum-nation-building, and over time it worked. By 1975 the desert rebellion was over and Oman was poised for development as a modern state.
Qaboos is one of a kind in the Arab world. He is unmarried, lives alone, plays the organ and lute, and composes music. A graduate of Britain's Sandhurst military academy, he may arguably be the most worldly and best-informed leader in the Arab world, who understands in depth both the Israeli and Palestinian points of view even as he balances Americans off against Iranians and provides U.S. forces with access agreements. Infrastructure projects, women's rights, and the environment are mainstays of his rule, and he has avoided creating the sort of personality cult that plagues the region. His shyness on the world stage is in line with the minimalist manner of Scandinavian prime ministers and in contrast with bombastic bullies like Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuela's Hugo Chávez. One Western expert calls Qaboos the only head of state in the Arab world you can call a "Renaissance man." In 1979 Oman was the only Arab state to recognize Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's peace agreement with Israel.
When I visited Oman in 2008 for my book, Monsoon, about the Indian Ocean, the bloodshed in Iraq still dominated the news. Thus, Western-style democracy was not a popular subject in Oman, associated as it was with America's misadventure in nearby Mesopotamia. But while I lavished praise on Qaboos and was deeply skeptical about exporting democracy, I also detected challenges with a growing youth population, the need for job creation, and the stirrings of a global culture. I mentioned these points in my book, but did not emphasize them — huge mistake! I did warn in passing: "Nondemocratic countries like Oman often evince efficiency when things are going well, but when problems arise in such systems the population, especially if it is young, can become quite restive." This is exactly what has happened. Qaboos solved the problem of division between the coast and the desert interior, but he has not been dynamic enough to satisfy a restive and unemployed, globalized youth culture. Furthermore, the occasion of his 40th-anniversary celebration in 2010 did elicit a personality cult of sorts that may have played into the current unrest.
Qaboos is also vulnerable because he has no heirs, and thus the succession is politically in doubt. Oman's system of absolute monarchy as it presently stands will not work any better than it currently does because it is impossible to imagine a another monarch who will rule as adroitly over the decades as Qaboos has. Thus, the population is genuinely concerned. Democracy, or a form of it, is now required, though the sultanate must survive to provide overarching legitimacy for the state.
Don't think that Oman is unimportant. While small, with a population of less than 3 million, the deep-draft parts of the Strait of Hormuz that are essential for oil tankers are entirely in Omani territory. Given how dedicated Qaboos has been to his country's well-being, it would be sad if his reputation were sullied over these historic protests. For he should not be spoken of in the same breath as the likes of Muammar al-Qaddafi.

Suzette Vaughn discovered her love of writing novels after her pushy sister made her read a romance novel. The book was awful, and with a lot of extra time on her hands, Suzette decided she could do better. Soon after, she drafted Badeaux Knights. Encouraged by that same pushy sister, Suzette entered her manuscript into a writing contest and received valuable feedback. She decided to take this whole writing thing seriously and delved back into the book. With Badeaux Knights complete, Suzette quickly began working on her second novel, Mortals, Gods, and a Muse. Suzette resides in Winston-Salem with her husband, son, and a cat who insists on walking across the tops of doors.

Audi "coup" by Thjnk
Rating: 5.0
By Daniel Farey-Jones, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 02 October 2009 08:00AM
Post-tax profit attributable to ordinary shareholders rose 9%, compared with the first half of 2008, to £5.8m at the PR, advertising and sports marketing group, which owns Bell Pottinger and VCCP among others.
Bob Willott, of marketing services financial research company Fintellect, who compiled the ranking, said Chime was the only company to grow both revenues and profits. Chime's revenues rose 7.2% to £58.4m.
Employee incentive company Motivcom took second place in the profits ranking with 3% growth to £1m, but the next best performer, M&C Saatchi, suffered a 25% drop to £3.6m.
Bottom place was taken by Cello, the research, data and direct marketing group, where profits dropped 379% from £1.5m in 2008 to a £4.2m loss in 2009.
Aegis was the next worst performer, with profits down 107% from £30m to a £2.1m loss.
Willott said: "The Aegis performance was particularly disappointing as the company actually increased its revenues in the period, albeit by only 3.5%."
WPP, which accounts for a huge share of the profits made by UK-listed marketing companies, is placed in the middle due to being hit by a 48% drop from £208.2m to £108.4m.
The total of the 11 companies' profits fell 55% despite a 20% increase in revenues, which was mostly accounted for by 25% revenue growth at WPP to £3.96bn.

Larson Electronics Introduces Explosion Proof Fluorescent Light with Low Profile and High Output
PR Newswire
KEMP, Texas, Jan. 10, 2013
KEMP, Texas, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Larson Electronics has introduced an explosion proof light designed for high output and low profile installation to its line of explosion proof lighting products. Featuring paint booth certification and the ability to work within low profile mounting applications, the EPL-48-216 Explosion Proof Light Fixture is a high output alternative to bulkier and more obtrusive surface mount designs. This explosion proof light fixture also features approval for marine applications and is ideal for operations requiring high output and uniform light distribution.
The Larson Electronics EPL-48-216 explosion proof fluorescent light is a high output fixture designed to provide even coverage and durable operation in a low profile mounting design. Featuring four 48 inch fluorescent lamps within a low profile fixture constructed of light weight yet durable copper free aluminum, this fixture is powerful as well as durable. T6 temperature rated, Class 1 Division 1 & 2 compliant, and certified for paint spray booth use, these explosion proof lights offer a low profile design that fits in well with locations where mounting space is at a premium. The four bulb design produces a high 20,000 lumen output that provides even coverage and good color rendering qualities, making the EPL-48-216 well suited to paint booth applications where these qualities are a must. The fluorescent lamps have a long 20,000 hour operational life rating for reliable operation, and the heavy duty ballast assemblies are sealed within integral housings for safety. The reflector assemblies are also constructed of copper free aluminum and have a durable high gloss finish to provide high reflectivity with even light distribution. The fluorescent bulbs are protected by heat and impact resistant Pyrex tubes, and the lamp assemblies feature screw on end caps for easy servicing and secure lamp installation. The EPL-48-216 operates with universal 120-277 VAC current and is available in standard surface bracket or optional pendant mount bracket configurations, making installation simple and straightforward. These explosion proof fixtures also carry UL 595 Outdoor Marine Type and UL 1598 Marine Type approvals, making them well suited to offshore applications such as platform drilling and ship based operations. These explosion proof fluorescent lights offer operators who need high output illumination from a low profile fixture capable of meeting stringent HZLOC electrical requirements an ideal lighting solution that can withstand the rigors of industrial operations.
"We are saving the customer money, since we are doubling the light output of our 4 foot, 2 lamp explosion proof fluorescent light," said Rob Bresnahan with LarsonElectronics.com. "End users are spending less money to get the power of 2 fixtures in one light. Contractors are installing one fixture instead of two, so that reduces time and material costs associated with installation as well. Finally, from maintenance standpoint, the less fixtures you have to visit with a man-lift adds up to significant savings."
Larson Electronics carries an extensive line of explosion proof lights, hazardous location lights, intrinsically safe LED lights, portable explosion proof lights and explosion proof fluorescent work lights. You can view Larson Electronics' entire line of explosion proof lighting by visiting Larsonelectronics.com. You can also call 1-800-369-6671 to learn more about all of Larson Electronics' lighting products or call 1-214-616-6180 for international inquires.

Greek-style Stuffed Leg of Lamb
Serves: 8 to 10
This recipe highlights lamb from Umpqua Valley Lamb, a cooperative of ranchers in southwest Oregon. The lambs are pastured on fields of fresh grass, sweet clover and alfalfa, producing a mild-flavored, tender meat. Serve with grilled asparagus and a fresh lemon tart for a bright, delicious beginning to spring.
- 1 (4- to 5-pound) boned PCC Natural Express Garlic Herb leg of lamb Add to list
- 3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs Add to list
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Add to list
- 1 (5- to 6-ounce) container PCC Deli mezze feta Add to list
- 1 container PCC Deli black & green tapenade Add to list
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary Add to list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Add to list
- 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons) Add to list
- Butcher's twine Add to list
These ingredients are:
Corn-free Egg-free Gluten-free Peanut-free Soy-free Tree nut-free Wheat-free
Preheat oven to 375º F.
Lay leg of lamb flat on a work surface covered with parchment or waxed paper, herb side down. Pound briefly to flatten.
Combine breadcrumbs, parsley, feta, tapenade, rosemary, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl. Blend well to make a coarse stuffing.
Spread stuffing evenly along the center of the inside of the leg of lamb. Fold lamb toward the center, first one side, then the other, to enclose the stuffing and form a roll. Tie the roll in several places with butcher's twine to keep it closed during cooking. (Discard parchment or waxed paper.)
Place rolled lamb seam-side down in a roasting pan. Roast for 1 hour and 20 minutes for medium-rare or until it reaches 140º F. For medium or well-done, cook until meat is 170º F. Remove from the oven, tent with foil and allow to rest 20 minutes before slicing.

I loved these cards, they were perfect! The message was exactly what I wanted to relay and the quality was excellent.
Everyone I sent these cards to called to let me know how great these where
I love every card that comes from Max but wish he would put his name on the inside or back instead of on the front of the card. It's disconcerting to be reading the wonderful message and before you open the card to read more, there is his name. Just a thought.
These are good for a variety of uses! I've used them for birthday's, miss-you, even Christmas!
Good quality card, with good verses, you can use for anyone.

The year continues to buzz for versatile singer Shibani Kashyap, says Mangala Ramamoorthy
Shibani Kashyap is super busy these days. Her plate is full, or rather overflowing with work. She rode the wave by scoring music and singing in movies like Dus Kahaniyan, Sunday and Woodstock Villa, and now she has crossed the border to sing on Pakistani television.
In months to come, the petite woman will make guest appearances in films, and juggle with international music projects at the same time. And when not working on films, or her albums, concerts keep her hooked throughout the year. "It has been a hectic year. I have started work on a lot of new projects. Hopefully, this streak will continue," says the 30-something.
This past weekend, Shibani along with singer Anamika and performed at West Gate Mall, Rajouri Garden, on the occasion of World Music Day. The event was organised by Big FM. "It was a wonderful experience to sing along with the kids, some of them were so talented," recalls the singer, who shot to the limelight with "Ho Gayi Hai Mohabbat".
There is no dearth of days that can be celebrated, from Valentine's Day to Father's Day. In such a scenario, what is the value that World Music Day carries? Shibani is quick to answer. "I personally like to celebrate every such day. In the otherwise busy life, it is one day where we can sit back and think about a cause or read about it. More than the musicians, this day is meant for others to realise the value of music. It's a tribute to music, where every musician is on the same platform. If I can make a difference to someone's life that one day, then why not celebrate it!"
Shibani is ecstatic about her work in Pakistan, which she completed some time ago. "I have sung the title track for the serial Tumne Chaha Hi Nahin, for music director Farukkh Abid, which is already on air. But other than me there are also singers like Kailash Kher, Shaan and K.K. in the song." Other than this, she has also recorded the signature track for the newly launched Pakistani TV channel Hum.
But wait there's more. Shibani has also sung a track in Pakistani singer Faisal Khosa's new album. "After I heard a song he had sung, Faisal asked me if I would like to sing the female version. I readily agreed. I will head to Karachi soon to shoot for the music video," explains Shibani.
Filmy career
Her film career is going great guns too. While her songs from Zinda and Waisa Bhi Hota Hai are still being appreciated, she has moved on to do much more. She has just composed a track for the Bipasha Basu-starrer Pankh and Jahnu Barua's The Great Indian Butterfly and will soon start work on another Sanjay Gupta film Acid Factory.
Shibani is also set to make her acting debut with Main Osama, directed by Faisal Saif. "It is just a small role, where I play myself. Acting in not on my radar, I agreed to do it because Faisal convinced me into it," she admits.
Giving wings to her dream of going global is Blood Money Trail, an English film produced by the Los Angeles-based production house, Golden Gate Studios. Shibani will sing and compose three numbers for this film on terrorism, which also stars Rajat Kapoor and Harsh Chayya. "This one is a different experience. I need to concentrate on this," she chips in.
And between all this, Shibani is trying to squeeze time out for her latest album, which she plans to release in September.

Film festival rolls into Archer City
Final movie based on native novelist's book
ARCHER CITY — Bright lights, big city, small town.
It was bright lights once again in Larry McMurtry's small hometown of Archer City on Friday night as Texas Monthly's Rolling Roadshow tour, presented by the Alamo Drafthouse, showed a free screening of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's iconic story-turned-film, "The Last Picture Show."
About 200 film buffs showed up to see "The Last Picture Show," fittingly the last stop on the tour, which screened the magazine's picks for the 10 Greatest Texas Films Ever Made. The Rolling Roadshow tour screens famous movies in famous places for free — usually in the places they were filmed, such as "The Shining," which on a past tour was shown at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, and "Rocky," screened at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
"The Last Picture Show" was filmed by director Peter Bogdanovich in Archer City in 1970 and was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
"My novel is a little spiteful novel aimed at lancing some of the poisons of small-town life as I experienced them in the mid '60s, and some things that went on in my family that were not happy things," said McMurtry, who introduced the film. "So I wrote the book in about three weeks, forgot about it, and got a call in about 1970 from Peter Bogdanovich."
McMurtry said the movie was made when Hollywood was looking to streamline its movies.
"'The Last Picture Show' was made in 1971 in a time when Hollywood was regrouping ... They were looking for shorter, leaner, cheaper movies," he said.
And it wasn't exactly the kind of film Bogdanovich did.
"It was the opposite of the kind of material he says he's good at ... But he was broke," McMurtry said. " ... He was urged to do it by his wife, Polly."
It became his most critically lauded film.
McMurtry said Bogdanovich was told by the studio to keep the film at two hours, though it clocked in at 2 hours and 3 minutes by the end.
"We fought very, very hard to get the third ending," McMurtry said of the movie, which could have ended in two other places.
He also mentioned that Bogdanovich's true gift was casting. The movie was a non-star film made with character actors like Ben Johnson and then-unknowns like Jeff Bridges and Cybill Shepherd.
"Peter put together a remarkable cast ... and it's a perfectly scored film."
Josh Jacobs, Alamo Drafthouse production manager, said this year's tour, since it has remained in Texas, has been more intimate than others.
"There's almost a sense of civic pride," he said, and Friday night's screening offered plenty of that.
Archer City Mayor David Levy and his band played before the movie, and he said a few words before the film about Archer City, home of McMurtry's Booked Up book stores, being a book town.
"Archer City is a community of stories ... We're proud of this film, we're proud of its stories and we're proud of our native son, Larry McMurtry."
Jacobs said his favorite part of the tour is the people who come to these films.
"I've met some amazing people," like one man during the screening of "Giant" who told him he was one of the boys in the film's altar scene.
Shana Murphy, Gina Barnes, Kecia Maxwell and Daisy Best decided to hit the road to Archer City from Denton to watch the film. Their book club, The Sweetwater Book Club, had just finished reading the book.
It was the third movie on the tour they decided to see, having already been to Pilot Point to watch "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Tender Mercies" in Waxahachie.
"I'm just a Larry McMurtry fan," said Maxwell.
"In general, his character development is wonderful, and his description is great ... Even if you don't grow up in a small town, every place has their tease and their jock," said Best, referring to Cybill Shepherd and Jeff Bridges' characters.
Sarah Smith and Casey Squyres of Dallas also were in Archer City to watch "The Last Picture Show."
"I scheduled around it," Squyres said of making time to see some of the 10 Greatest Texas Films Ever Made. He added that if you're from a small town or from Texas, seeing this movie, "It seems like a prerequisite."
Ella Williams said she and her husband, Roger, had just moved to Nocona when "Texasville," the follow-up to "The Last Picture Show," was released.
What rings true with Roger about the film are the football scenes and how small towns pride themselves in having their own identity.
"We went to high school in Denison, Texas ... so the football part of the movie resonated with us ... That's all people talk about."
Beth Ferrell of Dallas, who has family ties to Charles Goodnight, is no stranger to Archer City. She often stops in Archer City on the way to a chuck wagon event she attends.
"I just like coming here," she said. " ... Larry McMurtry is my hero. I really enjoy his books."
Not that the film pleased everyone, like Wichita Falls' Carol Castro, who had never seen the film before Friday night. The movie was controversial upon its release for its nudity and mature themes. And the movie is still touching a nerve.
"This movie is not one of the 10 best films in Texas. It's soft-core porn," said Castro, a disgusted parent who left the screening early with her family.
McMurtry himself had a bone to pick with Texas Monthly and the Alamo Drafthouse and wanted to remind them of another film of his: "The movie 'Terms of Endearment' was the only one of mine to win Best Picture," he said.

Mystic - I may try and do that. The debt is mostly student loans from DH. The problem is that when he was unemployed we took a 6 month deferral on them so I don't know if they would extend it. Anyone have experience with this?
|Carrie - DH will be in training for 145 days starting May 15th. I am a bit hesitant to do more than before/after school care with an infant and toddler of my own but perhaps I will gain the courage before then

Upstairs in the club lounge we must thank Bless for everything she does taking care of us. Anita always at hand to help and her team too many to mention but all the club lounge staff are great making us tea, chatting to us and giving us so much info and advice on place to visit.

And we're back. In part 1 we installed everything we needed for Tower and generated our app. In part 2 we learned how to run tests, and got our very first pre-generated tests to go from red to green. Now we need to write some tests of our own, then maybe we can go about actually writing some application code.
Tests of Our Own
If you're returning to this project after taking a break, remember that your going to want to open a couple tabs in the terminal. In the first one, type:
git checkout -b ircbot
This tells git to create a new branch called "ircbot" and switch us into it. When we add a new feature to a project, this is a good idea because if we screw up something badly, we can save all our changes to that branch and then simple delete it, or just leave it there for reference, but switch back to the master branch. We won't go deeply into that, but again, I recommend checking out the Pro Git book to learn all about using git in your workflow.
Now that we are safely in a new branch run:
cake watch
This watches for changes to the coffeescript files and compiles them. Then open a second terminal to run your tests with
mocha test/*/*Test.coffee -w
Now let's get started. Open up the file test/models/ircBotTest.coffee and change "describe 'relationships'" to "describe 'methods'", then add everything I have beneath that here:
The "describe" lines tell mocha that we are creating a new group of tests. "beforeEach" tells mocha, this is code we want you to run before each of these tests. Pretty simple, right? Your tests should still be passing. If something fails, make sure you typed everything correctly. Be careful of identation.
Now for the first test. Add the following beneath the "beforeEach" block, and make sure the identation is even with it.
As soon as you save the file you should get a failing test. What this block of code does is tells sinon-chai to wrap the ircbot (from the beforeEach block )'s 'init' method in a special object called a spy. This spy can then return all kinds of useful information to us, like when, how and how many times the method was called during the execution of the code. Very useful for testing. You can read all about sinon's abilities here. Then, the test saves the ircbot. What we want is for that bot to call an init method as soon as its saved. It doesn't, yet, but we'll fix that soon by writing application code. Finally, after checking that, we call "done()" to tell mocha that everything in the test is finished and it can move on. This is very useful, due to the asynchronous nature of coffeescript and node.
Now open up app/models/ircBot.coffee and add the two extra lines you see here:
"@after" is a special command in a tower model that tells Tower to run a method on an instance of that model, after a certain action is taken. Here we tell it that after creating an instance of an ircBot, it should run the init method. Then we write the "init" method. We could have gone ahead and written the init method's code, but one guideline of BDD is to only write enough code to pass the test. In this case, simply having the init method there is enough. So now what? Well, now we need to write another test telling us what the init method actually needs to do.
How to Train Your Robot (and by "Train" I mean, "Test")
So, first we need to go into test/server.coffee and add this line right beneath where we required Faker.
This gives us access to node's "net" module, which we'll need for testing some basic functionality in our ircBot. Then it's back to ircBotTest.coffee, and beneath our last test we now should add:
This code create's a server on our localhost, using port 6667, the port irc server's generally connect on, and tells it to listen for a connection. When something connects we assume it's our ircbot, and we disconnect, close everything out, and pass the test. If you look back to the beforeEach method, you will see that "localhost" is the server we used when we set up our bot. For now, your test should timeout and fail.
When I first wrote this test, I really had no idea how to go about it. I had created an empty channel on an irc server I often frequent and my plan was to create a testBot to join the channel and wait there for the real bot, and test it that way. What I never imagined was that my tests would trigger the irc server's flooding defenses and get me banned. Fortunately, a message explaining the situation got me back on the server, but, it meant I needed a better way to test the bot.
By setting up a simple server using the "net" module, we can test basic things like connection without actually joining any irc servers or wasting anyone's bandwidth.
Let's get this test to pass now. Go back into app/models/ircBot.coffee and fill in the init method with this code:
This sets some variables based on the ircbot's attributes, and then uses those to create a connection to the server and channel given. But wait, our test continues to fail with:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'Client' of undefined
Right. We need to install the irc module, and require it. First, in the terminal, find or open a tab not already running something, make sure you are in your app's directory, and type or copy:
npm install irc --save
Watch to see that it installs without error, and check your package.json to make sure that it properly saved the module to your "Dependencies". Even though we installed the module, our tests will continue to fail because we haven't yet told our app about the module. In the folder app/config/server/initializers, create a file irc.coffee, and add to it:
Now, as of now, Tower sometimes doesn't catch when we add new files to it, so we'll need to return to the terminal and restart both:
cake watch
mocha test/*/*Test.coffee
Now our test should definitely pass. Alright, that was a lot of work. Remember how we wanted our bot to give a helpful message when someone joined the channel? I'm gonna give that functionality to you for free, then we're gonna call it a day. In the init method, in app/models/ircBot.coffee, just add this:
We tell the bot that when the irc server emits the join event, it needs to respond with a message. Testing this proved to be a lot of work, and you are here to learn about Tower.js not the ins-and-outs of creating irc servers with node, so I decided to skip that for brevity's sake. We can verify it works later, by actually making a bot and joining a channel that its in.
For now, let's save our changes, then commit those to git and merge them back into master, with these commands:
git status
This shows us all the changes which haven't yet been committed. Before adding or commiting anything, it's a very good practice to always check this and make sure everything looks right. Next:
git add .
This adds the changes we've made, along with new files, etc. Then:
git commit -m "Adds tests and functionality for our ircbot"
It's the convention of the community to write commit messages in the present tense. I'm not entirely clear on why (maybe someone could explain in the comments), but in general, unless you have a very good reason, it's best to follow the communities conventions. Finally:
git checkout master
git merge ircbot
If git doesn't want to merge the changes, just re-run "cake watch" and try again. Once our changes are safely merged in, we can stop for now.
Come back for part 4, where we begin saving messages and turning those into github gists (a lot like the gists I'm currently using to display code in these posts.)

Patrick Wilde
|Patrick Wilde
|London United Kingdom
|Playwright & Screenwriter
|1993 -
Patrick Wilde is an English playwright and screenwriter for both television and film.
Early work[edit]
Most of Wilde's early work was centred on the classics. He played Hamlet, Mark Antony for ATC and Amnon in Tirso de Molina's Rape of Tamar at the Lyric in London. He directed several productions of Shakespeare, as well as the British Premiere of Schiller's Cabal and Love at the Lyric. He directed for The British Council in Pakistan, the production in question causing a near riot (including gunfire in the street) for its 'scandalous depiction of women through the ages'.[1]
Edinburgh Fringe[edit]
Wilde has worked several times over the years at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, including productions of Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew and most notably his collaboration with writer Jonathan Rich to construct and direct Sell Out! He has also presented one of his own plays in Edinburgh (You Couldn't Make It Up), and his first feature film, Get Real, won a prize at the Edinburgh Film Festival.
The Wild Justice Company[edit]
In 1993 he set up Wild Justice Company,[2] originally to present his first play, What's Wrong with Angry? Wilde wrote the play because he "was sick of being told by people — even gay people — that it's easier to be gay now... But [he didn't] believe it's easier than it ever was to come out."[3] This age of consent drama began at a small fringe theatre in London, but moved from there to the Oval house, then BAC and eventually to a successful run at The Arts in Leicester Square.[4] It has since played in Europe, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and was selected by readers of The Purple Circuit to be one of the most influential gay and lesbian plays.[5]
On the back of this success, Wilde was commissioned to write the film version, Get Real, which was directed by Simon Shore and went on to win several major awards, including both jury and audience prizes at the Dinard Festival of British Cinema, The Sydney Mardi Gras Film Award and the audience prize at the Edinburgh Film Festival. It was also selected to play at The Sundance Film Festival.
Television Scriptwriting[edit]
Patrick's writing career took off, and alongside writing for such TV staples as Casualty, Holby City,[6] EastEnders, Monarch of The Glen[7] and Peak Practice he was also part of the creative team on more ground breaking shows such as City Central, As If and most notably, This Life.[8]
Wilde has also written the screenplay for Paul Monette's Becoming A Man: Half A Life Story,[9] although it has yet to make it into production.
Recent work[edit]
Having linked up with producer Pete Shaw, Patrick's directing and writing careers now continued in tandem, including a second feature film, Things To Do Before You're 30 and stage play, You Couldn't Make It Up. The latter was produced by Shaw under the Wild Justice banner and played to sell out houses at The Gilded Balloon in 2002,[10] and then transferred to the New End in London.
At the end of 2006, Wilde collaborated with Sir Tim Rice on a new version of his musical, Blondel, which he directed for at The Pleasance in London. Despite the limited run, Wilde proved the show could find a new audience more than 20 years after it had been seen on a professional stage.[11]
In 2009 Wilde revived and directed What's Wrong with Angry? again, this time at the King's Head Theatre in Islington, to another successful run. The Stage notes that "What's Wrong With Angry played an important part in the development of gay theatre at the end of the last century. Whilst Wilde is keen to point out in his notes that intolerance is as strong as it ever was, this play's edge has been lost."1. Wilde also found time to direct Scott Mills - The Musical for BBC Radio 1 at the Pleasance as part of their appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.[12]
In 2010 Wilde directed the West End run of Tribute to the Blues Brothers at the Arts Theatre, Leicester Square, produced by Hartshorn-Hook.[13] He also directed a new musical by Toby Herschmann and Kelly Kingham at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe call Jump.[14]
Recently Wilde started offering script workshops and drama tuition in London.[15]

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a prominent member of the coalition formed to bomb ISIL after the group released its beheading videos on the Worldwide Web. However, the Saudi Kingdom's own practice of beheading has led to bad press for the coalition. In February, an Amnesty International report bore the headline "Saudi Arabia beheading nearly two people per week this year."

Silver Lee Johnson, age 74, passed away Friday, July 1, 2011, at her home.
Funeral services are Friday, July 8, 2011, at 1 p.m. from Living Manna Church, with the Rev. R.H. Brown officiating. Burial will follow in Greenwood Cemetery.
Visitation is today, from 3 – 6 p.m. at Carter's Mortuary Services Chapel.

The 2011 Dixie Youth All-Star tournaments kick-off Thursday for all West Point area teams. The boys and girls look to get a few wins over the next four days, all eying a trip to Southaven for the World Series.
8U girls - Eupora
Although weather has put a damper on a handful of practices for the girls, head coach Ken Wright feels that won't have to much of an effect on the team.
"We haven't had as many practices as we would have liked," he said. "But I feel pretty good about our team."
The Oak Hill Academy Lady Raiders have had a productive summer in 2011. Coming off a 27-11 campaign which included a trip to the overall state championships last spring, head coach Stan Hughey and the girls have been going non-stop.
"We closed out the summer with a camp at Jackson Academy and two weeks ago we were at an MSU camp and we've been playing a little city league" he said. "We're going to practice with the junior high a little bit and get the high school in the weight room next week. We've had a busy summer."
It might seem pretty intimidating for an athlete to compete against hundreds of others in any sport, all trying to win the same championship. For local barrel racer Sara Kate MaIlwain, it wasn't too nerve racking.
McIlwain beat out over 100 riders in her class from across the country at the 10th annual All-American Barrel Race at the Kirk Fordice Equine Center in Jackson last month in one of the country's best competitions. Over 600 riders were on hand for the three-day event.
After spearheading the Bulldogs to within a game of the 2011 College World Series, Mississippi State head baseball coach John Cohen received a contract extension Thursday through the 2015 season it was announced by the university.
Cohen's new four-year contract will included a base salary of $262,500, up from the $250,000 in his previous contract. Officials said will continue to receive a salary supplement from the Bulldog Foundation.
Dontavious Bennett was like any other kid growing up in West Point; he played football and baseball and hung out with his friends. But even that wasn't enough to keep him grounded.
"He still had all this energy, always running around wanting to kick me," his mother Tamika Bennett recalls. "He was full of energy, always busy, so we figured we're going to put this to use. We met his sensai, Master Nash at a baseball game and asked if he was still doing the school. He said yes, so we told him we're going to bring our boy down. And he's been doing it ever since."
Jake Moore
Jake Moore, age 65, passed away Sunday, June 26, 2011, at his home.
Funeral services are Thursday, June 30, 2011, at 11 a.m. from Pilgrim Grove M.B. Church, with the Rev. Robert Shamblin - Traylor officiating. Burial will follow in Tibbee Community Cemetery.
Visitation is today, from 3 – 6 p.m. from Carter's Mortuary Services Chapel.
Carter's Mortuary Services is in charge of arrangements.
Rose Marie Ellis Dean
Rose Marie Ellis Dean, age 61, passed away Monday, June 27, 2011, at North Mississippi Medical Center of Tupelo, Miss.
Rose Marie Ellis Dean was born April 14, 1950, in Holmes County to the late Elsie Grantham and Earl Ellis. She was a bank teller for over 30 years. She was a member of Siloam Baptist Church serving as choir director. She was also a Weight Watchers leader in the Cairo Community.
The West Point Advanced 18-U tennis team have been serving nothing but aces all summer.
In five matches this season, West Point is 4-0, dropping only two sets in the first series against Columbus 3-2 in their first meeting of the season.
The other three matches have been shutouts.
"We have a great team of young players," head coach Julia Ready said.  "The team works very hard to try to win every game and I think this strategy has helped them to be undefeated so far. They are all very busy with different activities but have managed to fit tennis in."
Fred E. Hargrove
Fred E. Hargrove, age 60, passed away, Saturday, June 25, 2011, at his home in West Point.
Fred Eugene Hargrove was born April 21, 1951, in Memphis, Tenn., to Lois Elizabeth Carpenter Hargrove and the late Andrew Harold Hargrove. Mr. Hargrove was a lumber inspector for Seitz Lumber Company for 14 years and also a truck driver.
Mr. Hargrove was a member of First Baptist Church and was a veteran of the U. S. Army having served during the Vietnam War. He was a loving family man. Fred Eugene Hargrove married Deborah Kesler Hargrove on June 26, 1976, in Abbeville, Miss.

It was a bonanza of sorts for Co-optex as it was able to sell saris, shirts and other textile products worth Rs.3.60 crore in the last 25-day at the National Handlooms Expo 2012 held at Thillaiyadi Valliammai Complex in Egmore, said its Special Officer and Managing Director, Vijay Pingale on Monday.
Talking to The Hindu, he said the expo was visited by over four lakh people against three lakh people in the last edition. This year, Primary Weavers' Co-operative Societies made good use of it by selling their produce. They sold materials worth Rs.1.50 crore against Rs.82 lakh. Last year, the overall sales volume at the expo was Rs.3.05 crore.
According to a press release, the expo had 110 stalls that displayed some of the finest collections in cotton and silk from all over the country. Over 600 varieties of cotton and silk saris from different parts of the State and from many other Indian States were on display.
Visitors had a chance to lay their hands on traditional Pochampalli, Venkatagiri and Mangalgiri prints from Andhra Pradesh, printed saris from Jaipur, Bandhani from Gujarat, Bengal cotton saris, Chantheri saris from Madhya Pradesh, Kashmiri silk shawls, furnishing material, towels and dress materials.
Taking part in the concluding function of the National Expo, Handlooms and Textiles Minister Sundararaj said to take on the private players, efforts would be taken to modernise all Co-optex showrooms in the country and to open new showrooms in the major cities.
The Minister distributed prizes to the Primary Weavers' Co-operative Society within the State for recording highest sales; State Apex Co-operative Marketing Society; Weavers Co-operative Society outside the State; and for best display.

In its biggest acquisition ever, state-owned Oil & Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) on Monday agreed to buy US energy giant ConocoPhillips' 8.4% stake in the Kashagan oilfield in Kazakhstan for about $5 billion.
ONGC Videsh Ltd, the overseas arm of the state explorer, will pay a base price of $4.25 billion plus a share of working capital and other cash calls together with interest for the 8.4% stake in the field that produces 370,000 barrels per day (18.5 million tons a year) of crude oil.
This will be the biggest acquisition by OVL, surpassing its $2.2 billion buyout of Russia-focused Imperial Energy in January 2009.
It will be the biggest acquisition by an Indian company this year, and the sixth largest in the history.
OVL is seeking oil and gas properties overseas to meet the nation's rising energy needs. India last year spent $140 billion on import of crude oil.
The stake buy in Kashagan field is subject to approval of governments of Kazakhstan and India and also to other partners in the Caspian Sea field waiving their pre-emption rights.
Italy's Eni, Royal Dutch Shell, France's Total, ExxonMobil and KazMunayGas have 16.81% stake each, while Inpex of Japan has the remaining 7.56 per cent.
Industry sources said ExxonMobil and Shell are seeking bigger stakes in the Kashagan oil field and operating control before starting to expand the project.
OVL concluding the deal would depend on the two firms waiving their right of first refusal (ROFR) or pre-emption rights.
Kashagan, the biggest world oilfield discovery since 1968, holds an estimated 30 billion barrels of oil-in-place, of which 8-12 billion are potentially recoverable. Plans have already been firmed to ramp up output to 450,000 bpd (22.5 million tons per annum).
ConocoPhillips (COP) and OVL in separate but almost identical statements said the deal is expected to close in the first half of next year.
"The acquisition would mark OVL's entry into the largest oil proven North Caspian Sea of Kazakhstan. From Phase 1, the acquisition is likely to add an average annual production of about 1 million tons for a period of over 25 years with a peak of about 1.6 million tons," OVL statement said.
When Phase 2 and 3 are implemented, the OVL's share will be significantly higher.
This will be OVL's second acquisition this year. It had a couple of months back bought stake in a group of oil fields in Azerbaijan for about $1 billion.
Deals bigger than the one announced on Monday include Tata Steel's $12.2 billion takeover of European steel giant Corus, Vodafone taking over controlling stake in Hutch-Essar from Hutchison for about USD 11 billion and Bharti Airtel's acquisition of Zain Telecom's African assets for about $10.7 billion.
Billionaire Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta Group's $8.6 billion acquisition of Cairn India is fourth and Hindalco Industries' buyout of Canadian firm Novelis Inc for $6 billion is fifth biggest.
COP expects proceeds of $5 billion, including the purchase price and expected working capital and closing adjustments, according to a statement from the Houston-based company.

Varsity runners are expected to take the ACT or SAT on dates that we do not have varsity meets.
Meets and number of athletes are subject to change from week-to-week depending on what the coaching staff feels is best for the athletes. There will be several instances when varsity runners will not run in every varsity race to keep everyone fresh and give everyone opportunities to compete at the highest level.
JV is only allowed 7 races, including region. Varsity is allowed 10 races before region and state.
Runners who get invited to overnight trips will be responsible for splitting a hotel room (4 runners per room, so it is fairly cheap) and dinner.
Itineraries for each race, including time of the race, time of departure, cost, what to bring, etc…will be handed out at practices early each week and be posted on the website.
