Just some sample text.
Unless you're saving it for the inevitable The Expendables 3 Countdown, how about RHINESTONE? It's no Clint boxset but I think it might be disturbing enough to get you thinking about diving into some of the other Sly's like FIRST RAMBO II: THE BODYCOUNT and ROCKY III: MR. T ON ICE. Even though you're light on Sly flicks I can understand the resistance to LOCK UP and DAYLIGHT, but aren't ya itchin' for a GET CARTER VS GET STALLONE drunken alley brawl? RHINESTONE. There's just nothing not wrong about it. Except Bob Clark. It's his secret shame.
As long as the late Bob Clark has BABY GENIUSES 2 on his filmography, RHINESTONE will never be his secret shame.
I actually thought RHINESTONE was okay, but I don't really feel like watching it again. Did I not review GET CARTER? Because if not then what did I watch that for?
dude WHAT? Vern, I can't believe you said that, RHINESTONE is fucking awful and I should know because not long ago I tried watching it
RHINESTONE is OK. A lot of the Razzie etc. like to pretend it was a legitimate attempt by Sly to become a singer, which it obviously wasn't.
And maybe it's just childhood nostalgia talking, but I don't think STOP! OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT would simply be forgotten if it didn't have such an, er, idiosyncratic title. It's a shamelessly broad comedy, but not much less
"hey, I told ya I had a big organ"
Yeah Vern, you haven't reviewed either version of GET CARTER, if you do a search with "get carter" (include the quotes) you'll see it's been mentioned in HARRY BROWN and a couple of others.
Didn't mean to stir up any kind of hornet's nest, was just testing the new Icon pages to see if the comments worked the same throughout the system.
So apparently Sly is producing a US version of the German Hit TV show DER LETZTE BULLE, which is a light hearted crime show about a tough cop who fell into a coma in the 80s, wakes up in our time and solves his cases now "the old way".
I'm actually looking forward to this, because while DER LETZTE BULLE is a very entertaining show, it's also very German in its depiction of 80s toughness and the US version might depict all the cool 80s stuff, that we love so much. Especially with a real 80s action icon on the producer's chair.
CJ – thats too good of an idea if you ask me. Hate to be cynical, but they'll find a way to drop the ball an such an awesome pitch.
Reminds me of how the American remake of LIFE ON MARS took that terrific UK show (and brilliant pitch) and found a way to drop the ball. Hard.
Maybe. The German version is no masterpiece either, but benefits from a good cast and entertaining scripts. So far there is not much known about the US version, except for Sly's involvement and that the script is written by one of the creators of CHUCK, which means that the show might be already less badass than I wanted it to be, but might still deliver on the entertainment factor.
Did anybody else see the news that they are making a CREED film about the grandson of Apollo Creed being trained by Rocky. Stallone will return as the Italian Stallion, and Ryan Coogler the director of FRUITVALE STATION will helm the project. Michael B. Jordan also from FS will star in the title role as Apollo's grandson. This exciting news. I haven't had the chance to see FS yet but I have heard nothing but good things, and I think this an awesome way to both extend and reboot the ROCKY franchise. It also sets a very cool president of a successful franchise character appearing as a supporting character in a new franchise.

Sorry for the double post. I am having technical difficulties.
Yeah Charles, this may be the first time I've ever thought a sequel/prequel/spin-off was actually a good idea! Rocky Balboa was a perfect note to end the series on but I don't mind the idea of Rocky being a supporting character/mentor at all. I really hope they don't kill him off in Creed III though..
I also noticed this news.
Hopefully this student doesn't turn on Rocky like what happened in ROCKY V.
Will Creed's grandson fight Lundgren's son in the climax?
Fred, I knew this would be on your radar.
RAMBO V appears to be on the way.
Rambo goes up against a Mexican Cartel. Its being preemptively titled as RAMBO:LAST STAND (in homage, or competition to Arnie?)
I like that Stallone says it will be Rambo's NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN!!
I'm okay with this.
I've learned never to believe a word Stallone says about his movies before they come out, but more Rambo is always welcome. Sly always emotionally connects with the character and that makes all the difference.
I'd prefer JOHN RAMBO to be the last Rambo movie. I thought he ended the character on a perfect note. But hey, if it's great, I guess I won't be complaining.
Still, I'm dying for Sly to create another iconic character. Would much rather see him portray another veteran war machine character taking on the Mexican cartel. It'll probably make the shift in tone (if the NO COUNTRY comparison is true) go down easier. A shift in expectations is usually a good thing.
It would just be a half-assed Rambo clone. Sly is best when he's really internalized the character, and the only ones he's been able to do that with thoroughly are Rambo and Rocky. I agree that RAMBO would have been a great place to leave the character, but if more Rambo is what it takes to get the best out of Sly, so be it.

Egyptian security forces arrest a protester during clashes near Tahrir square, where an opposition rally has been called to voice rejection of President Morsi's seizure of near absolute powers. / Khalil Hamra, AP
CAIRO -- Angry chants filled Tahrir Square Tuesday as thousands of protesters poured into the iconic center of last year's revolt, angered by a recent decree that grants President Mohammad Morsi sweeping powers.
Waving Egypt's red, white and black flags and chanting slogans against Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood, the protesters joined several hundreds who have been camping out at the square since Friday demanding the decrees be revoked.
"I'm here to say 'No' to Morsi's recent announcement," said Yasmin Tawfiq, a consultant for a development organization. "It's unlawful '?? against all laws in Egypt."
What Egypt has done is "basically change a one-man show -- the ex-regime -- to a new dictator," said Salima El-Masry, carrying a bag of bananas on her way to the square.
Tawfiq was also angered because she believes that Morsi has not yet made improvements for Egypt's people.
"We don't see him doing anything that helps poor people '?? education, health, you name it," she said. During Egypt's 2011 revolution, protesters, too, demanded bread, freedom, and social justice.
Morsi, who rose through the ranks of the Muslim Brotherhood, has the same mentality of 'listen and obey' as deposed former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, said protester Hossam Amer, a tour guide and Egyptologist. "Morsi with the Brotherhood and Mubarak with the military," he said.
Protesters, as they did for Mubarak, called for their leader -- this time Morsi -- to resign.
"This is the beginning of him stepping down, and the people will never be repressed," Amer said, marching with chanting and cheering crowds just before sunset.
The president's declaration last week of new powers for himself has energized and -- to a degree unified -- the mostly liberal and secular opposition after months of divisions and uncertainty.
Almost two dozen Egyptian rights groups collectively called on Morsi over the weekend to rescind the decree. "The balance and separation of powers in Egypt has thereby been utterly demolished," said a statement signed by 23 groups on the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies website.
"(It) destroyed the authoritative nature of court rulings and paved the way for state institutions to refuse to implement court orders, which may well lead to the spread of chaos in the country and the collapse of the idea of the state based on institutions rather than individual leaders," the statement said.
Morsi's decree, issued Thursday, placed him above any kind of oversight, including that of the courts, until a new constitution is adopted and parliamentary elections are held '?? a timeline that stretches to mid-2013.
The opposition says the decrees give Morsi near dictatorial powers by neutralizing the judiciary at a time when he already holds executive and legislative powers. Leading judges have also denounced the measures. The nation's Supreme Judicial Council called the decrees an "unprecedented assault" on the judiciary's independence and rulings. Judges also threatened to strike, which could have broader implications as Egypt seeks an International Monetary Fund loan and tries to revive a struggling economy.
But Morsi's camp framed the decree as a necessary step to achieve steady governance as counter-revolutionary forces create problems and judiciary members seek to "harm the country."
"There are weevils eating away at the nation of Egypt," Morsi said in front of a crowd on Friday, the day after he announced his decree in a televised speech.
The controversial move comes amid a constitutional drafting process long embroiled in debate over issues including the role of Islamic law, presidential powers and the rights of minorities and women. Almost all secular members of the 100-member constituent assembly have withdrawn, said Abou El-Ghar, whose party members walked out of the committee.
Morsi says the decrees are necessary to protect the "revolution" and the nation's transition to democratic rule. His declaration made all his decisions immune to judicial review and banned the courts from dissolving the upper house of parliament and an assembly writing the new constitution, both of which are dominated by Islamists. The decree also gave Morsi sweeping authority to stop any "threats" to the revolution.
"What's happening is that Dr. Morsi took a decision for a limited time until the constitutional committee finished its work," said Dina Zakaria, a representative of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP). "We find it's very important to settle down and make a step forward to stability."
The FJP appealed "to everyone to maintain a peaceful expression and national consensus" and "condemn and reject all forms of violence, assault, arson and destruction of institutions."
Zakaria, however, said that Morsi's decree is only intended to protect the revolution and democratic institutions that risked being dissolved.
"We believe that these decisions are important now because it's a very important critical transitional period and we want to move forward," she said.

But some took this advice with a grain of salt, since Pakistan could be deflecting from its recent battered image.
That version of events sounds plausible enough, but perhaps we should take them with a grain of salt.
Could it be that the report in the French online newspaper contained a grain of truth?
early 13c., "scarlet dye made from insects" (late 12c. in surnames), from Old French grain (12c.) "seed, grain, particle, berry, scarlet dye" (see kermes for last sense), from Latin granum "seed, a grain, small kernel" (see corn (n.1)).
As a collective singular meaning "seed of wheat and allied grasses used as food," it is attested from early 14c. Extended from c.1300 to other objects (e.g. salt, sand). As a unit of weight, from 1540s. Used of wood (1560s), from the arrangement of fibers, which resemble seeds. Hence, against the grain (1650), a metaphor from carpentry: cutting across the fibers of the wood is more difficult than cutting along them.
grain (grān)
A small, dry, one-seeded fruit of a cereal grass, having the fruit and the seed walls united.
The fruits of cereal grasses especially after having been harvested, considered as a group.
A relatively small discrete particulate or crystalline mass.
Abbr. gr. A unit of weight in the U.S. Customary System, an avoirdupois unit equal to 0.002286 ounce (0.065 gram).
A pictorial query language.
["Pictorial Information Systems", S.K. Chang et al eds, Springer 1980].
used, in Amos 9:9, of a small stone or kernel; in Matt. 13:31, of an individual seed of mustard; in John 12:24, 1 Cor. 15:37, of wheat. The Hebrews sowed only wheat, barley, and spelt; rye and oats are not mentioned in Scripture.

State and local health departments face significant barriers and usually do not get involved when confronted with public health concerns resulting from food animal production sites, according to a new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future at the Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The authors of the study, published in PLOS ONE, an open-access publisher of scientific research, examined the role of local and state health departments in responding to and preventing community-driven concerns associated with animal production sites. This study developed when it was brought to the attention of two of the authors that community members may assume that local health departments actively monitor and address potential concerns arising from large animal production sites. Prior experience of the authors indicated that this perception might be misinformed.
For the study, "Investigating the Role of State and Local Health Departments in Addressing Public Health Concerns Related to Industrial Food Animal Production Sites," researchers interviewed officials representing 13 county and eight state health departments and community leaders. Survey participants were selected in areas with high densities or rapid growth of large swine production sites. Researchers asked participants a serious of questions in an effort to find out what health and environmental concerns are reported to health departments, how the health departments respond, and to determine barriers that may prevent increased involvement.
Past studies have shown air near animal production sites to contain hydrogen sulfide, particulate matter, and allergens. Exposure to these emissions has been associated with multiple respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological health problems. Health department employees surveyed told investigators that, although some are often contacted by concerned community members living in close proximity to animal production sites, limited

A German tourist has disappeared in mysterious circumstances on the South Pacific island of Nuku Hiva. Shortly after he went missing, human bones were found in a remote fire pit, triggering media speculation that he was eaten by a cannibal. Justice officials, however, are dismissing such conjecture.
A German holidaymaker who had set out to tour the South Pacific island of Nuku Hiva with a local guide has disappeared, and the discovery of human bones and teeth in a remote fire pit has led to media speculation that the tourist may have fallen victim to cannibalism.
The 40-year-old man, who has been identified only as Stefan R., was sailing around the world and has been missing since October 9 when he visited the interior of the French Polynesian island with a local hunter, Henri H.
It emerged over the weekend that the Polynesian guide had returned without Stefan, and had told Stefan's partner, Heike D., that Stefan was sick and needed help. The 37-year-old woman followed him into the island but instead of finding her friend, the guide suddenly threatened her, sexually assaulted her and tied her to a tree. She managed to free herself and reported the crime.
Bones and Teeth Found in Ash Police mounted a search for Stefan and found bones, teeth and melted metal -- possibly dental fillings -- in a fire pit. Police said it appeared that a human body had been hacked to pieces and burned at the site. Animal remains were also found in the ashes.
It has yet to be ascertained whether the teeth and human bones belong to Stefan R. But the state prosecutor for French Polynesia, José Thorel, said there were indications that it was him, and has launched an investigation into sexual assault, kidnapping and manslaughter.
Stefan R.'s family in Germany is now anxiously awaiting the results of a DNA test on the human remains.
The German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has also become involved and said it was doing all it could to solve the case as soon as possible. "At present the priority is to identify the corpse," a BKA spokeswoman told SPIEGEL ONLINE.
Stefan R. was an experienced sailor. A friend who asked not to be named said she didn't believe the killing was an ordinary case of robbery homicide. "Everything I've heard suggests it could have been a ritual killing," she said.
After the case came to light, local as well as German and English-language newspapers speculated it could have been cannibalism. Some South Pacific cultures are believed to have practiced cannibalism right up until the 19th century, according to colonial-era accounts.
Experts Dismiss Cannibalism Speculation However, say police experts and people who know the history and culture of the remote region in the middle of the Pacific Ocean -- located about halfway between South America and Australia -- such speculation of cannibalism is unwarranted.
"I think it would be mistaken to conclude from these bone finds that this was cannibalism or has some cultural background," said police psychologist Adolf Gallwitz. "In Germany too, corpses are dilettantishly discarded, that doesn't just happened in the Second or Third Worlds," said Gallwitz, a professor at the police college in Villingen-Schwenningen in southern Germany.

SUFFOLK, Va. - Dedric Sherrod of Covington has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Melik Powell 10 years ago, according to the Virginian-Pilot newspaper.The trial was the result of the city's first case solved by Suffolk Police Department's Cold Case Investigation Squad. Sherrod, whose address according to jail records was 5179 Tew Lane and was last employed by BioLab, was arrested by Covington police in March and held in the Newton County Detention Center until extradition was completed. Sherrod, 32, who broke down and sobbed after hearing the jury's verdict, was also found guilty of attempted robbery, conspiracy, using a firearm in commission of a murder, using a firearm in commission of a robbery and shoot, stab, cut or wound in commission of a felony. After deliberating for almost four hours to consider the sentence, the jury recommended 16 years in prison for the second-degree murder charge and 14 additional years for the other charges. Formal sentencing will take place Feb. 5. The victim was 26 on the night he died - Nov. 10, 1998. A budding rap singer, Powell was shot during a robbery at Whitemarsh Plaza Shopping Center, where he had gone to use a pay phone. According to court testimony from five people who said they were with Sherrod or saw him that night, Sherrod acknowledged shooting his gun when Powell tried to get away from him. Sherrod wept openly and wiped away tears during court testimony and said from the witness stand that he didn't kill Powell. He told the victim's mother, "I had nothing to do with it. I didn't do it, Ms. Costley. I swear. I did not do it." Linda McNatt, staff writer with The Virginian-Pilot, contributed to this story.

Select Proof 1855 Seated Dollar Rarity1855 $1 PR63 NGC. The proof 1855 Seated Dollar is another rare issue in a series of noteworthy rarities. It is unlikely that the Mint delivered more than 30-40 proof sets this year, as well as an unknown, but presumably limited number of additional proof Silver Dollars. NGC and PCGS have seen just 25 proof Dollars of this date, all of which grade between PR61 and PR65 (1/02). This is a uniformly reflective representative with brightness that is evident at direct angles. The outward appearance is one of medium intensity dove-gray patina with splashes of champagne-apricot iridescence here and there. The strike is razor sharp throughout, the number of wispy hairlines is consistent with the grade. A small planchet streak (as struck) in the reverse field below the NI in UNITED is noted for pedigree purposes.
There is only one known obverse die for this issue, and it is identifiable by a die scratch through the denticles above Liberty's forehead. At least two reverse dies are known, one of which was also used to strike the 1854 PR64 NGC specimen in this collection. The present example was struck from a different reverse die whose diagnostic features are vertical striations in the recessed areas between the reverse shield stripes.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 12/4/12
Updated 7:00 PM Bob Dutton of the Royals Report believes that the Royals will NOT part with Myers for Dickey. This does not close the door on acquiring Wil Myers through another trade offer, however. #Royals say talks with #Mets for knuckleballer R.A. Dickey are dead if the price is OF Wil Myers. — Bob Dutton (@Royals_Report) December 4, 2012 Original Post 1:13 PM According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, multiple sources say the club is still pursuing Kansas City Royals outfield prospect Wil Myers. The 21-year-old outfielder hit .314/.387/.600 with 37 homers, 109 RBI and 98 runs in 134 minor-league games last season (35 in Double-A, 99 in Triple-A). The Royals have been very tepid on R.A. Dickey and have been notably rumored in swapping Myers for either Red Sox lefty Jon Lester or Rays right-hander James Shields. It might take Jon Niese to get into the conversation for Myers or Zack Wheeler.

I enjoy taking photographs as much as I enjoy processing them in Lightroom and Photoshop. During the winter months, when laziness take over, I spend my free time going through old files, processing and re-processing photos that have been taken some time ago. I take a lot of floral shots, and most of them were being processed the same way in Lightroom, so I created some presets which helped cut down processing time. I am sharing 2 of them here today. Continue reading here…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Forward
Occasionally, I find myself enjoying and loving the snow. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, I take advantage of the rare moment of insanity and go out in the snow. I remember doing just that in January, as soon as it started snowing. I received a few odd stares from strangers because while everyone was rushing inside to hunker down until the storm passed, I braved the cold, wrapped the camera with my scarf and wandered around outside taking photographs. I did walk away with a few keepers that day. The building with a dome that you see on this photo is the Marche Bonsecours located at the Old Port in Montreal.
This photo was edited in Lightroom 4. I created a preset called Golden Sunset, which I used on this image (I will give it away as a freebie in the next few days, so stay tuned). Click on the photo to see the transformation.
Topaz B&W Effects 2 Is Out
As you all know, I am very fond of the Topaz plugin. Awhile back, I purchased the whole bundle because I knew I will eventually end up using all of the plugin. Part of that bundle was Topaz B&W Effects, a nifty little plugin which I often use to convert my images into monochrome. Today, the new Topaz B&W Effects 2 came out and I was really excited because the upgrade is free to existing owners.
Two major improvements that I've noticed right off the bat.
- The user interface has been revamped to give way to a much cleaner and user-friendly workflow.
- The preset preview area is much bigger now and in my opinion is a much-needed update (the earlier version has a very small square preview window above the preset list).
I did process an image using the new plugin. This is a photo of the Montreal Olympic Stadium. This image is the unaltered version. Click here to see the transformed version of this image.
{Texture Tuesday} The Downtown eDition
One of the joys of processing an image in Photoshop is the ability to work with layers and textures. It is incredible what you can can come up with when you mix an image with a texture. It is something that I enjoy doing because the possibilities are just endless.
For today's Texture Tuesday, I processed a photo which was taken during Fall. It was first processed in Lightroom 4. I usually do my adjustments there. Continue reading here.
{Texture Tuesday} The Love eDition
Today's photo is my entry to Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. Today's theme is centered around the word LOVE.
Converting Color to Black and White
I thought I'd do something different today. I figured I would start documenting my post processing workflow and share them here. I am hoping someone reading my blog would find it helpful.
I found a photo of a pink rose that I took a while back. I wanted to covert the image into black and white, and I wanted it to have that soft look, which I think is appropriate for this subject.
Since I shoot in RAW, I "developed" the file in Lightroom 4. I fixed the white balance and adjusted the exposure. I wanted to overexpose it a little to achieve the look that I want. I then exported it over to Photoshop Elements to continue with the editing. The plan was to use Topaz BW Effects to convert the image. Here is my Photoshop workflow:
- Duplicate background layer
- Cleared some of the stray water drops using Spot Healing Tool in Photoshop
- Flattened the layers
- Duplicated the background layer again and renamed it Topaz BW
- Launched Topaz BW Effects from the Filter tab in Photoshop Elements
- In the Topaz BW Effects plugin, I chose Milk Memories from the Opalotype Collection
- Played around with the strength of the effect until I am satisfied with the outcome
- Back to Photoshop Elements, I created a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, pushed the Saturation slider all the way to the left to remove the remaining hint of color
- I flattened the layers, then created Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to adjust the lightness to +14 (I needed to adjust the lightness because I wanted to lighten the background more)
- Finally, on the Hue/Saturation layer mask, I brushed over the flower to bring back the details on the petals.
Et voila! The final image is now a soft black and white.
Autumn Veil
Pardon me for posting another Autumn landscape, but I was going through some photos that I took last Fall and I realized there are a few that had some potential. This is a shot of Village Tremblant, which was taken as I was standing at the Summit.
You must know that the fog on this image was added during post, since my purchase of the Topaz Bundle some time ago, I haven't had the chance to play with Topaz Lens Effects and I thought this was a good candidate. I knew I wanted to add "veil" to the landscape, so, after the adjustments on Lightroom 4, I fired up Topaz Lens Effects in Photoshop and added the "Fog" effects" to the water and a little bit to the ground.
This was the original image after Lightroom 4. As you can see, the landscape was pretty clear with no fog in sight. I do like the original, but I'm sure a little creativity never hurts anyone.
So, what do you think?

The USF alumni can most commonly be found in the health care industry, the engineering services industry, and clinical care, though they are employed throughout a wide range of sectors. The majority of USF alumni wind up in the education industry. Graduates of the USF earn approximately $56K on average.
Among USF alumni, those working as Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners report the highest median pay of $80K, followed by Operations Managers ($71K), and Marketing Managers ($67K). Civil Engineers get the short end of the stick when it comes to salary; grads report making an average of around $52K in this job.
Many USF alumni seem to stick around Tampa after wrapping up their studies; over a third of grads remain to find permanent work. USF alumni seeking the highest salaries end up in Atlanta, Ga., which offers a median salary of about $78K. USF alumni in Sarasota, Fla. can often be found sliding in at the lower end of the pay scale, where median paychecks are the smallest at $49K. Other popular cities for USF alumni include nearby St. Petersburg, Fla. and Orlando, Fla.
Financial compensation is highest for USF grads with a medical degree (average earnings climb to $101K per year). A B.A. in Political Science (PolySci) commands less pay, and these degree-holders face median pay of $33K.
USF grads are usually competent in Microsoft Office, and around one in seven alumni continue practicing this skill in their career. Knowledge of Operations Management seems to be related to bigger paychecks; in fact, skilled alumni bring in salaries that are 58 percent more than their former classmates' salaries ($89K). Demonstrated ability in Microsoft Excel, Project Management, and Customer Service rank among leading skills as well.
Only two-fifths of alumni for this school enjoy paid vacation days and about one-third of alumni get paid sick time. A large number of grads take advantage of a 401(k) plan. Dental insurance applies to a fair number of former students, and most survey participants report health coverage. University of South Florida alumni are also on the receiving end of life insurance, a casual working environment, a company-subsidized cell phone, and tuition reimbursement.
Alumni of University of South Carolina pick up average paychecks of about $56K, which is closest to the amount made by USF grads among similar schools. Other schools similar to USF include the University of Florida, Florida State University, and Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College.

CUOMO: What upsets you is not that he just violated a court order, it's that he did something, made a judgment with respect to your daughter, that you feel could be dangerous going forward. What else might he do? Fair?
REBECCA: Not only what else might he do, but what are the other things that might result from this? W-- people have been showing up at her nursery school, looking for her. People have been trying to contact me on the Internet. She deserves anonymity. She c-- she-- sh-- sh-- wait until she's old enough to make that decision, where she decides to expose w-- herself to the media. She can do that, that's fine. But she can't make that choice right now. And there are other harms, there are other things out there that he can't control, as a result of her face being all over the media.
CUOMO: And he's using powerful medicine. Using religion, and the righteousness of his religious cause, that's strong medicine to a peery (PH) God fearing country.
REBECCA: He is absolutely entitled to his religion. He's absolutely entitled to practice his religion. This is about parenting. And he had relief available to him. If this was so important to him, he has relief available to him. The court system. He appealed the TRO and it was upheld by the appellate court, and now it's pending with the Illinois Supreme Court. And we have a trial date at the beginning of March. He has remedies. He has remedies. And I will abide by a court decision, if the court does not agree with me that it is harmful, I will abide by that decision. He didn't. What am I supposed to do with that?
CUOMO: The religion issue is secondary to your concern for what he does with the daughter, right?
REBECCA: Of course. Her safety is the most important thing to me.
CUOMO: And you're worried that you don't know where this ends?
REBECCA: I don't. Where does it end? Where does it end? What is this for?
CUOMO: Well, what do you think?
REBECCA: I don't know.
CUOMO: Well, if it's not really about Catholicism being burned to his breast, in terms of importance, what else is there? You, is what there is, right? (SIREN)
REBECCA: (CRIES) Using my daughter to hurt me, maybe. Self promotion. Financial gain. (SIREN) I don't-- I don't know how to answer that question. I would feel a lot better if I did, I have to tell you. If I knew what was going on here, I could address it.
CUOMO: Have you tried talking to him?
REBECCA REYES: I have not.
CUOMO: Why not?
REBECCA: How do you talk to somebody after that?
CUOMO: You do have the child together.
REBECCA: Absolutely. And that's what the court was for. That was the-- for people who cannot make these decisions for themselves, the last result is the court. The-- the last resort. Did I say "result"? I'm sorry. The last resort is the court system.
CUOMO: You don't think--
REBECCA: It's not ideal, it's not ideal for anybody.
CUOMO: But you don't think you can talk to Joseph, and figure things out?
REBECCA: What's-- what is there to figure out now?
CUOMO: "Don't take the kid to church, if you're mad at me, talk to me. Let's deal with it this way. You're gonna wind up losing your daughter this way."
REBECCA: So, I say now, Joseph, please talk to me. If you're angry with me, talk to me. Please don't put Ela in the middle of this. Please don't. If you want to take her to church, let's talk about why you want to do that. Let's talk about what's reasonable for Ela, and let's be her parents.

MIAMI -- Ike Davis finished off his strong second half with another home run. Davis hit his 32nd home run, his 20th after the All-Star break, to help lead the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 Wednesday in the season finale. "It's the way I expected to play the whole year," Davis said of his second half. "I just wasn't fortunate enough to start off hot, but that's the way baseball goes sometimes." Davis overcame a shaky start to finish with a .227 batting average and a career-high 90 RBIs. "The resurgence of Ike in the second half has been one of the positives we've had in the season," Mets manager Terry Collins said. Mets starter Jeremy Hefner (4-7) tossed 7 1/3 innings, allowing two runs, five hits and two walks. He struck out seven in the second-longest outing of his career. Bobby Parnell pitched the ninth for his seventh save in 12 chances, extending his career-best scoreless inning streak to 11 1/3 innings. New York (74-88) finished fourth in the National L...

Steel Dynamics in 2010 entered the market for standard-strength railway rail after certification of our rail by America's Class I railroads. Uniquely in North America, SDI produces rail in lengths of 320 feet, which can be shipped in this long length, cut to shorter lengths (commonly in lengths of 39, 40 or 80 feet), or welded together to create long rail strings.
In 2012, SDI announced its entry into the premium rail market. Building construction for the new, internally developed head-hardened technology capability – air quenching, was completed in 2013. Commissioning of the new capability was completed in early 2014 and quality certification by the majority of North American Class 1 Railroads completed by the end of 2014.
The addition of premium rail was accomplished through a modern universal mill capable of rolling 320-foot-long rails, which can be welded together to make 1,650-foot-long rails that have fewer welds than the industry standard. Our premium long rail has four welds as compared to 19 welds commonly provided by SDI's competitors' rail. Fewer welds provide critical advantages to our rail customers: first, longer rail takes less time to install making installation less expensive and more efficient. Second, fewer weld points mean less maintenance costs as the weld point typically consumes the majority of track maintenance time and attention. Third, and most importantly, fewer welds can enhance rail track safety.
With the expansion, SDI is now the preeminent provider of quality rail for all cut or welded, premium or standard rail products in the United States.
AREMA standard rail sections in 115RE, 136RE, and 141RE weights. Sections up to 320-foot length.
Welded Rail
Steel Dynamics produces continuously welded rail (CWR) strings up to 1650 feet long. Our state-of-the-art rail-welding facility located near our steel mill at Columbia City, Indiana, is designed to handle our mill's long-length rails, minimizing the number of welds in each rail string.
Annual production capacity up to
350,000 tons

38 year old man | Fort Pierce, FL, USA | Seeking women 18-35 within 50 miles
Looking 4 my best friend & a great women, needs 2 no what she wants like me who's very confindent, not insecure at all where's my princess?
Maybe moving back to Boston or Atlanta soon. All i ask is your 100% honest, faithful, respectful, loyal & not a women who cheats if you do i can tell you i not the 1 for you. If your not ready to meet to very nice genuine man or involved with someone else then i may not be for you. I recently met the greatestt women on here who made me keep up the faith as if there maybe someone out there for me so im going to give this one last shot. But Im very honest, respectful, & extremely loyal, never get jealous type will always let a women do as she pleases just be up front & honest cuz that i can respect reguardless what is it but if lied to i will not even be their friend. If you are currently seeing someone & can't put 100% into what we would be working on then just please move on or just let me know up front & we can be friends. When i care about someone i put my all into it & she is the only person i have in my life im a one women type of man if she makes me happy then i have absolutely no other reason to even look elsewhere so if your a player in not for you. If u don't have any pics please don't bother, i won't resp I need 2 see who i talking 2 but other then that im looking 4 a really great women who knows what she wants in a great man & always open 2 great conversation & communicates well which is vital, down to earth & always open minded to what may come out of it but definately has 2 be cutie, nice long hair, beautiful smile, preferably short with a very nice bum, has to def have nice body, has to be conservative but yet sexy , loves 2 cuddle, casual PDA is def a bonus nothing extreme just romantic & if ur open minded esp when it comes 2 tying new things if u interested just let me know got other pics. Most women i have dated are usually short just more attraction there, Italian or Portugues, Itallian, Colombian, Cuban, Latina blonde or brunette long hair, loves me some curls beautiful bum is a must, since ima booty type of man & not a really a boob type so if your major asset is your boobs that does not get my attention. If this sounds like something ur interested in let me know whats good an if u aren't a member, send a wink, etc add me & maybe ill get back to you if you actually took the time 2 read my profile & not ask things i have answered in here since i will know all you looked at was my pics & didn't read what i took the time to write. Not bout any drama at all if u are bout drama or have jealous ex's then just keep it moving im def not the 1. Pls dont bother wasting our time. im very low key, soft spoken & respectful & just like 2 have very few great friends i trust w/my life instead who u think are your friends until ur women tells u their the shady & been tryna to hook up with my them the minute i turn my back cuz their jealous of what have. Those people get no respect from me at all & will loose the best friend they ever had. If ur a women who claims 2 have always been looking 4 that special man 2 treat them like a lady w/resect & integrity & give them something special i provide 2 them that they just haven't got from anyone else which is what makes me unique from probably any other men you have previously dated or ever came across people ask if im married since im single & act like im married since i don't hit on anyone when im out at all i just observe. So just imagine when i am with someone, need i say more but its all about my self respect. Im not cocky at all by any means just very confident theres a huge difference but i don't think im to good for anyone. Definately not insecure at all & that is one thing i refuse to do is be with any women who is insecure about herself, she needs to know her man is her world that knows she sexy & reminds her all the time as long as her mans happy then there's no need to impress anyone else as far as i see it & vice versa as long as my women & our family are happy is all i care about

ETF-Based Strategies Grew 43% as Investors Avoid Active Funds
Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Money overseen by U.S. investment managers who buy exchange-traded funds instead of individual stocks and bonds rose by 43 percent in the last year, even faster than the growth for ETFs, according to a report from Morningstar Inc.
The 370 ETF-based investment strategies tracked by Morningstar grew to $27 billion in the year ended Sept. 30, the Chicago-based research firm said today. That outpaced the 7.5 percent increase for ETFs and 0.8 percent decline for mutual funds, the company said.
The products, typically unregistered pools of money sold like funds by small-sized asset managers or investment advisers, reflect a growing preference among investors to pay for managers to allocate holdings across asset classes and investment styles, while avoiding active mutual funds and their fees.
"Investment advisers especially are moving to fee-based asset-allocation strategies," Andrew Gogerty, a Morningstar analyst, said in an interview. Gogerty estimated total assets for the category at as much as $100 billion.
Gogerty said products least constrained by where and what kinds of assets they can purchase grew fastest.
The report is the first based on a database constructed in the past two years by Morningstar, which has rated mutual funds for more than 20 years. It tracks only strategies with at least 50 percent of assets invested in ETFs and relies on data provided voluntarily by the managers on a quarterly basis.
The largest provider tracked by Morningstar was Boston-based Windhaven, a unit of San Francisco's Charles Schwab Corp., which grew 70 percent to $7.08 billion.
Most firms oversee less than $1 billion. They typically pool money into their strategies from separately managed accounts held by high-end clients or financial advisers, who may combine money from smaller clients.
ETFs, which trade throughout the day on an exchange like stocks, typically hold a basket of equities or bonds designed to track the returns of an index.
