The 84th Academy Awards: If I had been a voter
Once again today I'm going to be taking a look back at a recent Oscar lineup and explaining what my vote would have been in each of the big eight categories we all follow so intently each season. I previously mentioned that potentially I could do this once a week with previous Academy Award ceremonies, and while I'm going to be truing to do that, time will still tell. Again, if nothing else, this gives you an interesting look into my cinematic tastes. Over the course of the year you can sort of get a feel for what my current favorites are, but now we can look to the past a bit more.
Alright, here goes nothing:
Best Picture – Moneyball
The nominees here for this ceremony were The Artist, The Descendants, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, The Help, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, The Tree of Life, and War Horse. Obviously The Artist took it in real life, and Drive would have been my clear pick had it been nominated, but if I had been a voter my choice would have been between The Descendants, Midnight in Paris, and Moneyball. At the time, The Descendants would have been my pick, but now I think I lean towards Moneyball, so that would wind up getting my vote for Best Picture.
Best Director – Alexander Payne for The Descendants
I'd have voted for Nicolas Winding Refn here for Drive, but unsurprisingly he wasn't nominated. The actual nominees were Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris, Michel Hazanavicius for The Artist, Terrence Malick for The Tree of Life, Alexander Payne for The Descendants, and Martin Scorsese for Hugo. Without Refn, I don't have anyone I'm too wild about, but I think Payne might be the best of the bunch. The aforementioned Refn is easily my personal pick overall, but Payne is my choice of the actual nominees.
Best Actor – Brad Pitt for Moneyball
In a perfect world, I'd have seen either Michael Fassbender rewarded for Shame, Ryan Gosling in the lineup for Drive, Tom Hardy cited for Warrior, or Michael Parks in for Red State and subsequently any of them would have been my vote (likely Fassbender), but such is life. The actual nominees here though were Demián Bichir for A Better Life, George Clooney for The Descendants, Jean Dujardin for The Artist, Gary Oldman for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Brad Pitt for Moneyball. The choice of these […]
The 86th Academy Awards: If I had been a voter
I'm possibly going to be trying out a new series here. Essentially, today I'll be going back and looking at the most recent Oscars and explaining what my vote would have been in each of the big eight categories. Potentially, I could do this once a week with previous Academy Award ceremonies, so there's a chance that this could turn into a long running thing. There are 86 of these to sift through after all…and counting. If nothing else, this gives you an interesting look into my cinematic tastes. Over the course of he year you can sort of get a feel for what my current favorites are, but now we can look to the past a bit.
Alright, here goes nothing:
Best Picture – Her
The nominees here were 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, Her, Nebraska, Philomena, and The Wolf of Wall Street. Considering that it was my favorite film of 2013, a vote for Her would be pretty clear and decisive here. The Wolf of Wall Street would be my runner up, but it wouldn't be a close race. Spike Jonze's meditation on love is an absolute masterpiece, so that'd be my pick.
Best Director – Alfonso Cuarón for Gravity
I'd have voted for Jonze here, but he wasn't nominated. The actual nominees were Alfonso Cuarón for Gravity, Steve McQueen for 12 Years a Slave, Alexander Payne for Nebraska, David O. Russell for American Hustle, and Martin Scorsese for The Wolf of Wall Street. I very nearly went with Scorsese here, but it's fairly hard to deny Cuarón's work here on Gravity. The aforementioned Jonze is my personal pick overall, but Cuarón is my choice of the actual nominees.
Best Actor – Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street
In a perfect world, I'd have seen Oscar Isaac in the lineup for Inside Llewyn Davis and subsequently he'd be my vote. The actual nominees here though were Christian Bale for American Hustle, Bruce Dern for Nebraska, Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street, Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years a Slave, and Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club. Everyone is worthy here and I really came close to selecting Dern, but DiCaprio showed an incredible aptitude for comedy and that would be enough for me to give him his first Oscar.
Best Actress – Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine
Without the ability to cite the snubbed Adele Exarchopolous for […]
"How to Train Your Dragon 2": What's Up with the Awards Race
Directed by: Dean DeBlois
Written by: Dean DeBlois
Main Cast: Voices of Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, Djimon Hounsou, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Kristen Wiig, and others
Past Oscar relations: The first film in the franchise was nominated for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score
Here now we have a brand new article in this series of mine on 2015 contenders hoping to compete for some sort of Oscar attention at the upcoming 2015 ceremony. Next up for us is the sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2, which looks to please audiences as much as the first one did. From there, it's potentially on to Oscar contention!
This is the second film in a now franchise, based on a highly popular series of books. How to Train Your Dragon 2 features a top notch voice cast, with folks such as Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, Djimon Hounsou, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Kristen Wiig, and many others lending their talents to the movie. All signs point to this being a big success and a likely player in the Best Animated Feature field. Can it go further though?
What this flick has going in its favor is highly positive reviews and a built in audience that tried to make the last one an awards contender. The early word says that this one is just as good, if not a bit better, than the first How to Train Your Dragon, which is no small achievement. This makes it more or less a surefire nominee in Best Animated Feature and perhaps even the frontrunner right now (give or take how The Lego Movie ages over the course of the rest of the season). Only halfway through the year, that's a a pretty solid spot to be in.
Working against How to Train Your Dragon 2 is the fact that animation has had a tougher time of late. Since the sliding scale in Best Picture has been implemented, no cartoon has gotten into the major categories, so it's possible that the time for that sort of a citation has come and gone. If Frozen couldn't do it last year, one has to think that this year we won't see anything from the animated category particularly break through. It's not impossible, but I wouldn't bet on it happening.
So, can this be a player at all? I'd say […]
Jonah Hill: Spotlight on the Stars
For this week's spotlight piece, I wanted to take a look at a bit of a new A-lister, and that happens to be Jonah Hill. For some, he's just another Judd Apatow guy, but realistically, he's much more than that. He's branched out on his own with a rather hilarious comedy franchise that began with 21 Jump Street and continues this weekend with 22 Jump Street (he also co-wrote both in addition to starring). He's also gone the drama route and both times been rewarded with Academy Award nominations (for Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street), so he's got some serious bonafides these days. You have to look at him as a member of the A list now, and someone who very well might be on their way to winning an Oscar before long.
Hill has worked with an impressive assortment of filmmakers so far in his career. That list includes the likes of Judd Apatow, David Gordon Green, Phil Lord/Christopher Miller, Bennett Miller, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino. You probably never would have guessed that the guy who got his start playing second fiddle in films like Accepted would become one of more in demand actors in Hollywood. It just goes to show where real dedication and hard work can get you.
If you actually look at his work, he's show more range than he's given credit for. The types of performances he gives in movies like 21 Jump Street (along with 22 Jump Street on Friday, which is just as good, trust me there), Funny People, Knocked Up, and Superbad are tremendous, but they're very different than what he's shown us in Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street. Especially with that latter performance, he was able to seamlessly blend comedy and drama, which is the way he's going to one day win that statue, likely in the Best Supporting Actor category that he's gotten a pair of citations in already.
Overall, Hill is a genius comic actor with some stunningly good dramatic chops as well. He's got the very amusing 22 Jump Street opening in a few days and later this year he'll make another play at awards with the drama True Story, co-starring James Franco. He'll likely continue to mix and match between comedy and drama, which is perfectly fine in my book. I greatly look forward to watching Hill continue to grow as an actor and […]
Steve Carell: 2015 Best Actor contenders
As you folks all know by now, it's one thing to read early Academy Award predictions (including my own) at this point in the year in order to see what folks like myself think will happen in six months, but it's another thing entirely to actually know something about who and what will be in contention. To help out in that regard, I'm running down some of the major contenders in each Oscar category in order to prep you all for the season to come. Basically, the format will have me saying a few words about what/who I feel are the top tier contenders right now in said categories, along with a longer list afterwards of many of the other hopefuls that the Academy might take a shine to. Consider this a sort of before the awards season cheat sheet to have in your back pocket.
Today I'm continuing with arguably the biggest of the acting categories…Best Actor.
Here are the ten thespians that I have in play for Best Actor, with the top five cracking the lineup at this point:
1. Steve Carell (Foxcatcher) – I tried to stay away from this obvious pick early on, but after the phenomenal reviews out of the Cannes Film Festival, it's silly not to have Carell in your top spot. There's a small chance he could go Supporting in order for Foxcatcher to maximize potential nominations/wins, but right now he's the clear frontrunner here. It'd be folly to bet against him at this point.
2. Joaquin Phoenix (Inherent Vice) – I think we can all agree that Phoenix will win an Oscar one day, it's just a matter of when. With his second collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson, an opportunity is front and center, provided of course that the material isn't too out there for the average Academy member. We shall see, but rightt now you have to at least be considering him heavily.
3. Timothy Spall (Mr. Turner) – The other leading man to really benefit from Cannes reviews, Spall seems more likely than not to score his first nomination for this biopic. Some have speculated that he could really challenge for the win too. I don't quite see that happening, but hey…stranger things have certainly happened. Spall is probably the only person besides Carell that's closing in a lock for a nomination this early.
4. Ben Affleck (Gone Girl) – Affleck is still without an acting […]
Thinking Out Loud: Who Could/Should Direct Ghostbusters III?
For this weekend's edition of Thinking Out Loud, I only really have one topic in mind, and it's on the direction of the Ghostbusters franchise. With the recent passing of Harold Ramis and the even more recent announcement that Ivan Reitman won't be directing the in development sequel/reboot, I've been thinking about who might be best suited for the job. Bill Murray already is almost assuredly not going to be involved and Dan Aykroyd mostly is helping shape the script and will be a supporting player at best, so this is an opportunity to take the concept in a potentially new direction…
If I were in charge of offering the job to whatever filmmakers I desired, these would be the six (or technically eight, but you'll see what I mean in a moment) that I'd be wining and dining. The half dozen different choices represent some unique takes on the material, but I think they'd all be successful candidates:
-Judd Apatow – For a few years now I've secretly hoped that at the very least Apatow would help produce a Ghostbusters movie. His stable of friends/actors seem perfectly suited to become wisecracking paranormal exterminators. You could have any combination of Jay Baruchel, Michael Cera, James Franco (maybe), Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, and Martin Starr in the roles, and that's a solid recipe for comedy in my eyes. Apatow probably isn't too interested in this gig, but I really wish he would be.
-Joe Cornish – I may not have loved Attack the Block, but in some ways Cornish's film is almost a calling card for this type of studio project. He could make a rather unique mark. I'd think that he'd be a less likely pick because of his relative lack of experience, but if Godzilla turns out to be a big success, I could see Cornish following in the footsteps of Gareth Edwards and getting a big franchise to play with.
-Duncan Jones – A darker choice to be sure, but anyone who follows Jones on Twitter knows that he has a sense of humor as well. He's certainly elevate the franchise and make it a real legitimate "film" as opposed to a comedy tent pole, but isn't everything supposed to be darker and grittier anyway? He's another less than likely candidate, but I'd hope that his name is at least floated about.
-Phil Lord and […]
Oscars: 12 Years a Slave wins Best Picture at the 86th Academy Awards
After months and months of lead up and speculation (not to mention an endless string of precursor awards), the Academy Awards were finally given out, and the results were almost as unpredictable as we'd all been saying. 12 Years a Slave took home Best Picture despite only winning two other Oscars and losing in the Best Director and Best Film Editing categories (both of which Gravity took), normally categories that go to the Best Picture winner. Gravity was the biggest winner of the night in terms of numbers though, taking seven prizes, including the aforementioned Director (for Alfonso Cuaron) and Editing fields.
In terms of the other prizes, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto were once again awarded for their performances in Dallas Buyers Club (McConaughey in Best Actor and Leto in Best Supporting Actor), while Cate Blanchett won Best Actress for Blue Jasmine and Lupita Nyong'o edged out Jennifer Lawrence in the Best Supporting Actress category. Best Original Screenplay went to Spike Jonze for Her (my personal favorite award of the evening) and John Ridley won Best Adapted Screenplay for 12 Years a Slave. Other winners included Frozen (Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song), 20 Feet from Stardom (Best Documentary Feature), and The Great Beauty (Best Foreign Language Feature).
Here now are all of the results from the 86th Academy Awards:
"12 Years a Slave" – WINNER

Oscars: Get to know the Best Supporting Actor race
Best Supporting Actor
Nominees: Barkhad Abdi for Captain Phillips, Bradley Cooper for American Hustle, Michael Fassbender for 12 Years a Slave, Jonah Hill for The Wolf of Wall Street, and Jared Leto for Dallas Buyers Club
Notable precursor wins: Abdi wins BAFTA Award, while Leto wins Broadcast Film Critics, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Awards
Current frontrunner: Jared Leto
Next in line: Bradley Cooper
Dark horse: Barkhad Abdi
Continuing on with my "Get to know" series, we now have our penultimate piece as we turn our attention today to the Best Supporting Actor race. As you can see in the vital statistics above, the gentlemen making up this category are Barkhad Abdi for Captain Phillips, Bradley Cooper for American Hustle, Michael Fassbender for 12 Years a Slave, Jonah Hill for The Wolf of Wall Street, and Jared Leto for Dallas Buyers Club. More or less the whole season, it's been Leto's Oscar to lose, and as he's picked up win after win, that line of thinking has only gotten more common. At this point, he's potentially the biggest lock of them all.
From the start of the precursors, Leto has all but swept the ceremonies, with the one exception being Abdi emerging victorious from BAFTA, where Leto wasn't eligible/nominated. Especially with Matthew McConaughey likely to win Best Actor, that only increases the likelihood of Leto taking Supporting Actor. If you're expecting anyone else to win, you're quite frankly a bit on the delusional side.
Now, unless there's an absolute shocker of an upset, Leto is going to be an Oscar winner on Sunday evening. Abdi and possibly even Bradley Cooper are the next in line contenders, but they're runners up in the strongest sense of the word. The Leto train is pretty much unstoppable, so look for it to pull into the Oscar station in a few days time and pick up an Academy Award for Leto. You can all but mark it down in ink.
Stay tuned for the conclusion of the acting categories tomorrow, with Best Supporting Actress up next to wrap things up!
Oscars: Get to know a Best Picture nominee: "The Wolf of Wall Street"
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Written by: Terence Winter
Main cast members: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jon Bernthal, Cristin Milioti, Jean Dujardin, P.J. Byrne, Jon Favreau, Christine Ebersole, Shea Whigham, and Joanna Lumley
Number of Oscar nominations in total: 5
Other nominations besides Best Picture: Best Director (Scorsese), Best Actor (DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actor (Hill), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Winter)
Notable precursor wins: Won Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical at the Golden Globe Awards, Won Best Actor in a Comedy at the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, and Won Best Adapted Screenplay from the National Board of Review
Chances at winning Best Picture: Slim to none, quite frankly
Chances at other Academy Award wins: A shutout is pretty likely, though DiCaprio has an outside chance to pull the upset in the Best Actor race
ANALYSIS OF OTHER OSCAR NOMINEES: 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, HER, Nebraska, and Philomena
The Wolf of Wall Street is the ninth (and final) film in my "get to know a Best Picture nominee" series, and it's one last nominee that realistically has to look at the very nomination itself in this category as the only award that it can count on. For the longest time, it was sort of an awards season X factor, as no one quite knew if it would come out in 2013, let alone if it would be Oscar worthy. Well, it got in just under the wire and turned out to be easily the liveliest of the Best Picture contenders, inspiring some early talk that it could win. That hasn't sustained, but Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio did get nominations as well, with the latter still having an outside chance of a victory in Best Actor. The likely result is a shutout for the movie, but it's a memorable flick and an out of the box nomination from the Academy, regardless of anything else.
Working in The Wolf of Wall Street's favor is how enthusiastic fans of the movie are and how successful it has been at the box office. This is a big hit and the most overtly funny flick in the lineup, so it's able to differentiate itself from a lot of the more independent and serious minded films making up the nominees. The presence of DiCaprio and Scorsese certainly doesn't hurt either. They took home the big prize once before for The Departed, […]

Rachel Wray, the former Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader turned female MMA fighter won her second fight in the cage and is still undefeated. Wray, a beauty by way of Arkansas, beat Katelyn Radtka by a TKO in the second Friday night at the Ultimate Blue Corner Battles in Kansas City, Mo. She is 2-0 as an amateur just months after she started training as an MMA fighter. Wray won her first fight with a second round TKO over another opponent back in September after giving up cheerleading for leading with a left. The pretty blond (wearing blue shorts) looked a lot sharper in her second fight after being trained by UFC fighter Jason High and WEC veteran LC Davis. She sure has got skills. Wray's looks and back story is what is gaining her quite a following but it is her right hand that is keeping her in the cage. She doesn't have another fight scheduled yet but you can keep up with her at her Twitter account @CheerleaderMMA. Who knew beauty and the beast could be one and the same?

BUFFALO, NY - NOVEMBER 11: Patrick Kaleta #36 of the Buffalo Sabres looks on before the game against the Edmonton Oilers at HSBC Arena on November 11, 2009 in Buffalo, New York. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)
Patrick Kaleta cashed in on his pesky role with the Buffalo Sabres by agreeing to a three-year, $3.825 million contract with the team on Tuesday. A person familiar with the contract provided the terms of the deal to The Associated Press shortly after the Sabres announced the agreement had been reached on Tuesday. Kaleta is set to make $1.275 million each season, according to the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team had not disclosed the numbers. That means Kaleta earned a $300,000 raise over what he made last season. Kaleta was a restricted free agent, whose rights were retained by the Sabres in June when they extended him a qualifying offer. From nearby Angola, N.Y., Kaleta has played four full seasons with the Sabres after being selected by Buffalo in the sixth round of the 2004 draft. He had five goals and 10 points, and a career-high 116 penalty minutes in 63 games last season. Overall, Kaleta has 50 points (26 goals) and 434 penalty minutes in 26...

By now, the Ravens' 2014 regular-season schedule has been sufficiently dissected. And yet, it surprises me a little bit that I'm still hearing from some fans that think the schedule sets up poorly for the Ravens.
Look, there's no such thing as an ideal schedule. All 32 teams have challenging stretches or difficult matchups. But all-in-all, I think the Ravens got a pretty favorable draw in terms of who they play, and when and where they play them.

Lot Management is the first of many solutions that will be wrapped into ADP's Front Office Edge(SM) suite of products. Lot Management is the result of an exclusive partnership with inventory management company RedBumper. It will be delivered through dealers' mobile devices and it's the first inventory management solution built from the ground up around mobility. This solution combines two distinct inventory management methodologies -- historical and market data -- then adds many other unique algorithms, to provide specific, scientific recommendations about used vehicle inventory pricing, stocking, and more. "The last five years have reshaped the automotive retail space. This new competitive landscape truly requires a different, more analytical approach to used car inventory management. With ADP's Lot Management, today's dealers are in a far better position to make the right stocking and pricing decisions, purchasing vehicles that are expected to sell quickly and at a reasonable profit. Plus we'll be embedding this into our Front Office workflow, making it that much more powerful," says Steve Anenen, Division President of ADP Dealer Services. "Lot Management is a true response to the need for real-time integration with a dealer's DMS; the goal is to give dealers a powerful, integrated suite of tools that will eliminate redundant, time-consuming tasks while helping sell more vehicles more quickly. We are excited to work with ADP Dealer Services to deliver these tools and efficiencies through the RedBumper mobile platform, giving dealers the information they need, when they need it," says Bruce Thompson, CEO and Founder of RedBumper. Look for the following key features to drive dealership sales and revenue: -- High-speed mobile appraisal tools -- Instant time-to-market with smartphone "stock-in" capabilities -- Smart phone service drive equity solution -- Real-time integration with ADP Drive, ADP CRM, and ADP Desking -- Integrated equity tools -- Hybrid stocking recommendations with three- to four-second decision support -- Automated retail pricing tool with listing syndication -- Dealer group trading tools -- Merchandising -- Reporting Lot Management also features a Pricing module, an add-on solution that automatically adjusts used vehicle inventory pricing based on dealer-prescribed parameters, maximizing profit levels and helping move more vehicles off the lot, faster. Another add-on feature to Lot Management is the Equity Calculator. With Equity Calculator, dealers can automatically scan their DMS and CRM data, looking for existing customers with vehicles in positive equity situations and receiving notifications when those vehicles arrive in the Service drive. That information lets used car and service managers approach customers with attractive trade offers, helping dealers improve the mix of used vehicles on the lot while helping drive customer satisfaction and loyalty to the dealership.

More Information
Undefeated start
What: George Ranch, just in its second year of varsity play, has won its first six games this season.
Explosion all around: Led by QB Timon Nolan, the Longhorns have more than a handful of players who are capable of making big plays.
Next up: George Ranch travels to Angleton for a 7 p.m. Friday kick off. Angleton is the only other team still undefeated in 23-4A games.
New school? No problem.
Everyone thought the George Ranch football team would improve in its second varsity season. But this much? That's another story.
George Ranch has traversed its first six games quite nicely. The Longhorns are undefeated and have won their games in varying ways.
They won twice via big shutouts. They won twice when they broke open close games with explosive fourth quarters. People around Texas have noticed. George Ranch is No. 16 in the latest Associated Press Class 4A state rankings.
"I expected us to be a good football team. To be 6-0 is special and exciting," coach Ricky Tullos said. "As a second-year program, I don't know if it's realistic to be 6-0, but we are. It's a tribute to our kids and our coaches, who are working hard."
The Longhorns likely will have to be on top of their game Friday night when they travel to Angleton for a 7 p.m. kick off. Traditionally one of the top 4A teams in the Houston area, Angleton has not been as powerful the first half of this season.
Tullos said he is not fooled. The Wildcats' two non-district victories came against 5A teams Brazoswood and Alief Taylor. Last week they piled up 522 offensive yards and 28 first downs in a win over Lamar Consolidated.
The winner will be the last undefeated team in District 23-4A.
"It's going to be a great football game," Tullos said. "Angleton is a hostile environment. I anticipate us having a big crowd, too. It's going to be a great atmosphere. Our kids cannot get caught up in all the hype. They need to play the way they know how to play."
Friday's game has the potential to turn into a shootout, but only if both teams hold onto the football. George Ranch has did a good job of that in its first five games, but it was a struggle last week against Terry. The Longhorns committed four turnovers through three quarters and trailed, 14-13.
The Longhorns rallied for three touchdowns - two from Collins Kwabena - in the game's final 15 minutes to win, 33-14.
Kwabena (seven touchdowns) is far from the only explosive player on the George Ranch roster. Quarterback Timon Nolan is the leading rusher. He has 14 touchdowns this season. In a win over Kingwood Park, he rushed for five scores and passed for another.
Xavian Marks and Torin Marks have made plays in almost every way possible. Xavian has returned two kickoffs for touchdowns. He also has a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown. Torin Marks has one kickoff return for a touchdown and has returned two interceptions for touchdowns.
In last week's game against Terry, Tylen Guidry returned a kickoff for a score immediately after Terry had taken a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Darius Anderson has three rushing touchdowns.
"It's been a different guy every week," Tullos said. "Fortunately for us we have quite a bit of them who can make a play at any time. There is one football. We tell the kids to play every play like it's their last. You never know when your name will be called or when you need to make a play."

The Club For Growth, a conservative group, urged lawmakers to oppose the flood insurance bill. "Congress should not allow the federal government to be involved in the flood insurance industry in the first place, let alone expand the national flood insurance program's authority," the group said in a statement.
Among those with a pending flood insurance claim is Philip Rock in New Jersey. Rock has gotten $8,000 in flood insurance payments so far on a house he rents out in Toms River that was destroyed. He expects to receive much more from his $220,000 insurance policy but can't level the house until he knows the final payout.
"We don't want to demolish the house and have them say, 'We have to go around and take more pictures,'" Rock said.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency had warned that the flood insurance program would run out of money next week if Congress didn't provide additional borrowing authority. Congress created the FEMA-run program in 1968 because few private insurers cover flood damage.
The $2 billion FEMA already has spent went to providing shelter, restoring power and meeting other immediate needs. Eleven states — New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, New Hampshire, Delaware, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts — plus the District of Columbia have shared that money.
FEMA's disaster relief fund still has about $4.3 billion, enough to pay for emergency response efforts into early spring, according to officials.
Sandy is the most costly natural disaster since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Northeast lawmakers have complained that while it took Congress just 10 days to approve about $50 billion in Katrina aid, additional money for Sandy victims hasn't been forthcoming in more than two months.
The storm damaged or destroyed more than 72,000 homes and businesses in New Jersey. In New York, 305,000 housing units were damaged or destroyed and more than 265,000 businesses were disrupted, officials have said.
Associated Press writers Andrew Taylor and Jim Abrams in Washington and Katie Zezima in Newark, N.J., contributed to this story.

Historical records matching Brig. General William A. Hammond (USA), 11th Surgeon General of the U.S. Army
Immediate Family
About Brig. General William A. Hammond (USA), 11th Surgeon General of the U.S. Army
Info added per Mary S Lockwood's "Lineage Book of the Charter Members" of the DAR.
William Alexander Hammond, M.D. (August 28, 1828 – January 5, 1900) was an American neurologist and the 11th Surgeon General of the U.S. Army (1862–1864). In addition to his pioneering work in neurology and his military service, especially during the Civil War, he founded the Army Medical Museum (now called the National Museum of Health and Medicine), co-founded the American Neurological Association, and gave his name to Hammond's disease, a type of athetosis which he was the first to describe in 1871. He was also an amateur naturalist, and a species of spadefoot toad (Spea hammondii) was named in his honor by Spencer Fullerton Baird of the Smithsonian Institution.
Early life and careerWilliam Hammond was born in Annapolis, Maryland, but moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania at the age of five and spent the remainder of his childhood there. He received an M.D. from the University of the City of New York at the age of twenty, and after an internship and a few months in a private practice, he became an Assistant Surgeon in the U.S. Army in July 1849. His work in the army during his first stint (1849–1860) was primarily in the west; here Hammond notably served as the medical director of Fort Riley. In 1857, he won an American Medical Association Prize for his essay Experimental Research Relative to the Nutritive Value and Physiological Effects of Albumen Starch and Gum, when Singly and Exclusively Used as a Food, which Hammond had researched and compiled over the course of several years with the army.
On October 31, 1860, Hammond left the Army and accepted chairship of anatomy and physiology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore medical school. Here he taught and worked until the beginning of the Civil War.
Civil War
After working as a surgeon in the Baltimore Infirmary, Hammond rejoined the Army on May 28, 1861, a month and a half after the beginning of the war. Though he began in a position lower than that which he had previously held, he was soon promoted to be the inspector of camps and hospitals for General William Rosecrans, who was then stationed in West Virginia. The Sanitary Commission, which was dissatisfied with the current medical administration, as well as several other advocates including Major General George B. McClellan, eventually successfully lobbied to have William Hammond appointed as Surgeon General. After the incumbent Clement Finley was dismissed, President Abraham Lincoln appointed Hammond as Surgeon General of the United States Army with the rank of Brigadier General on April 25, 1862, less than one year after having rejoined the Army.
Hammond immediately began instigating reforms. For instance, entrance to the Medical Corps was reorganized and expectations for new recruits were increased. He founded the National Museum of Health and Medicine and Satterlee Hospital in 1862, and suggested many increases of the presence of medicine in Washington, including the establishment of a permanent hospital corps, a permanent general hospital, and a medical laboratory for the military. These recommendations were all manifested eventually, but at the time many of them led to dissent within the Army medical community. In the late summer of 1863, Hammond was ordered to leave Washington and instead oversee operations in New Orleans, Louisiana, while Joseph K. Barnes assumed the position of Surgeon General in Hammond's place. Hammond demanded either to be reinstated in his office in place of Barnes, or to be sent to trial by court-martial. The latter eventually took place, and in a questionable verdict, Hammond was found guilty of "irregularities" concerning the purchase of medical supplies and was relieved of duty on August 18, 1864.
Post-army career
After leaving the Army, Hammond moved to New York City, where he began to focus more on neurology. He became professor of nervous and mental diseases at the Bellevue Medical College in 1867, and took on a professorship on the same subjects at the University of the City of New York in 1874, as well as occasionally teaching at the University of Vermont and the Post Graduate Medical School of New York. In December 1874, Hammond founded the American Neurological Association (ANA) along with six others. Besides the ANA's journal Annals of Neurology, Hammond was also responsible for the creation or editorship of several other medical journals.
In 1878, Congress exonerated Hammond, and he was restored to the list of retired army personnel on August 27, 1879, though he remained without allowances or pay. In 1888, he moved back to Washington, D.C., where he founded a sanatorium. He spent the remainder of his life there and died on January 5, 1900 at his home due to heart problems. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, where he lies in section 1, grave 465.
Selected works
(1857) Experimental Research Relative to the Nutritive Value and Physiological Effects of Albumen Starch and Gum, when Singly and Exclusively Used as a Food (1863) Treatise on Hygiene, with Special Reference to the Military Service (1866) On Wakefulness: With an Introductory Chapter on the Physiology of Sleep (1869) Sleep and Its Derangements (1871) Physics and Physiology of Spiritualism (1871) Treatise on Diseases of the Nervous System (much of this work was drawn from lectures given by Jean-Martin Charcot, and it was also the earliest American treatise about neurology[5]) (1883) A Treatise on Insanity in its Medical Relations (readable online from Google Books) (1886) "Tales of Eccentric Life" William A. Hammond and Clara Lanza. D. Appleton & Co., {Dr. Hammond wrote several other novels all published by D. Appleton & Co. These include "Lal", "Dr. Gratton", "Mr. Oldmixon, and "A Strong Minded Woman; or, Two Years After".}

While much of the focus continues to be on whether or not David Ortiz will be ready for Opening Day, there's a completely separate issue brewing at the shortstop position. Stephen Drew, who suffered a concussion when he was hit in the helmet by a pitch on March 7, is still experiencing symptoms, and it's unclear at this point when he'll return to the diamond. "[Drew is] frustrated, because a lot of his normal everyday is normal. Yet when he gets to some loud areas, that has an affect," Red Sox manager John Farrell told reporters on Friday. "Any kind of quick movements, it's almost like the vision takes a little bit of time there to catch up. There's a little bit of a delay there. Those are all classic symptoms of a mild concussion." Drew has been undergoing physical testing in an effort to monitor how he responds to strenuous activity, but he hasn't played in a game since the March 7 beanball. Farrell said that it's too early to tell how much time Drew will need to get back into game shape, but the team's April 1 season opener is rapidly approaching. "Time down is not good," Farrell said. "Probably better answer that question based on how much time he will miss. We still feel like there's going to be a few yet before he's going to get back on the field." Drew's absence means Jose Iglesias, Pedro Ciriaco and Brock Holt could be playing for much more than initially thought throughout the rest of spring training. Have a question for Ricky Doyle?

Review: Seasons in the Sun by Dominic Sandbrook [1]
by Vernon Bogdanor [2] Published
Seasons in the Sun: the Battle for Britain, 1974-79
Dominic Sandbrook
Allen Lane, 992pp, £30
Dominic Sandbrook bids fair to put other historians out of business. He is one of the profession's Stakhanovites. Seasons in the Sun is the fourth doorstopper he has produced in just seven years in his series on British history from 1956, none of them less than 700 pages and all based on voracious reading. Inevitably, perhaps, quality has been sacrificed in the search for speed, and there are many topics treated here that one feels would have benefited from further reflection. Still, it is a remarkable achievement.

The 20 Greatest Nude Scenes in 80s Teen Movie History
List Criteria: Vote up the hottest, sexiest scenes.
If there's anything that the '80s gave us, it was gratuitous nudity in just about every single teen comedy that came out. In honor of that tradition, here are the best '80s teen comedy nude scenes of all time, ranked by you for hotness. I described the movies, the context of the nude scenes, and then linked you out to the scenes when possible (although you can totally just Google all of them). From Phoebe Cates in Fast Times, to lesser-known gems like Hardbodies and Malibu Express, to even scenes from actually-good movies like Sixteen Candles, these are the best nude scenes in '80s teen comedy history. Legendary naked movie scenes!

- Tip: Navigate with your { left and right } arrow keys4«»+ 470- 278The Movie
Porky's is about a group of guys in the '50s who want to lose their virginities in a time in which guys not only admitted that they were virgins, but tried to fix that problem "together." There's a place called Porky's, though, where a lot of the hot girls are and a lot of the main characters are terrorized by the mean, fat, pig-looking owner named, you guessed it, Porky. As these guys awkwardly try and come up with plans to get laid, a lot of nudity happens, and you get bored when it stops. Then you rewind the tape until your parents know exactly what you're doing. There's no reason someone should be rewinding and playing a tape that often and that quickly unless they're trying to solve the mystery of the Kennedy assassination.
The Scene
The infamous Porky's shower scene. A bunch of guys find a hole that leads to the girls' locker room, and kind of like you hope for every time there's a hole in a wall of any bathroom stall, there's actually hot chicks on the other end. Full frontal and backal (which yes, is a word, according to me) nudity ensues and a lot of teenagers and kids even younger than that in the '80s saw their first bush, boob and/or group of women showering together. Many more would follow for all of us.
The notable part of this scene is that it was the first gratuitous nudity most people had seen in a really popular comedy (which actually dragged on for pretty long and wasn't even very funny). It was really just a huge mask for nudity. This movie is huge because of this scene and because the rest of its awesome nude scenes (including one starring a young Kim Cattrall, who only gets hotter as she gets older).
This movie was largely nudity masked in fun, which was an awesome discovery for anyone who saw it. It's kind of like when you pour alcohol inside a juice box or a Vitamin water and bring it into your kids' plays or Disneyland. All of you do this.

Really nice paintings, I like colors of the third painting.
February 7th, 2011 #3
Thanks man.
I've been working on this painting all day. The neck still seems a little weird, but it's getting there... I hope.
I guess I'll just append the finished-ish piece to this post.

Nice progress. Keep it up..
I should recommend you some COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES. Pick your favorite theme(/s) like Character of the Week and you can watch trough the week progress and ideas of people "solving" the same theme and of course get a feedback on your work.
And of course there is the CRITIQUE CENTER...
Thread thumbnail is generated from first attached picture to first post.. So the trick is (as can be seen in other SB's) editing first post and changing the attachments.

The Ulrich heritage of wood working started back in 1990, when Jerry Ulrich and his family began a barn building business in an old, abandoned saw mill. The family spent time harvesting trees and milled enough material to build their first portable barn. The family had to borrow a trailer in order to make their first delivery. From that point on, the good word spread about the superior craftsmanship that came with the Ulrich name. Shortly after start up, the Ulrich family business was recruited to build one of the first Yogi Bear Camp grounds, which expanded the family business into construction of cabins. We can say the rest is history and it was just meant be.
Now, over 25 years later and thousands of satisfied customers, Jerry's sons have lead Ulrich Log Homes to become a premier builders of Texas Built Log Cabins. The quality of workmanship and materials that goes into each Ulrich Cabin continues to distant Ulrich Log Cabins from any competition.
To this day the Ulrich family continues to build these fine cabins, handcrafted one at a time.Read more

36 year old man | Boulder, CO, USA | Seeking women 25-33 within 50 miles
Active within 24 hours
Well, hello there, READER!! Here is all you...
Well, hello there, READER!! Here is all you need to know before filling a dating application! Please seat back, relax, & I hope you enjoy the tour :) - I am a nerd. I have a master of science in Engineering (MSc) and another master in business and administration (MBA); one is from France and one is from CU Boulder. My "work" rarely feels like it. I'm one of the lead engineer of a Porsche professional race team competing in an international motorsports championship, therefore fulfilling on a daily basis the dream I had when I was a kid. Still working on the rock-star, pirate, and astronauts dreams though :) - I am French (half Italian actually); A date with me is cheaper than a trip to Europe! and almost as much fun. I can promise you that you won't understand half of the thing I say at first. oh la la! oui oui? - I love music. I play guitar in a little "porch jam band". I also picked up a Banjo not too long ago, that I completely renovated and now learn to play. Brownie points for you if you enjoy singing or play an instrument, - I like to think that I am not afraid of anything! but that's not true. Of course there are plenty of things to be afraid of! What about snakes? clowns? needles? Oompa Loompas? - I love the smell of the forest in the mountain after a spring shower. I have a simple and environmental friendly, conscious lifestyle. Not a big fan of TV and consumerism in general, - Bananas, avocados, black beans and peanut butter are staples of my diet. I love cooking and staying healthy. Burrito and pancakes make me happy. - I'm active. I go to the gym but also bike, swim, row... Snowboarding, backpacking, hut trips, float/raft trips, SUP, are also activity I try to enjoy on a regular basis. I'm not competitive, it just makes me feel good and I love being outside. - I am a tall dude; If you don't know what 6ft8 means, look at your door. Yes, that's pretty much me. You can go as wild as you want with those high heels, - I have goals. They are up there. I am very good at relaxing and having fun and all, but I also know how to focus, work hard and go reach them, As a good frenchman, I can cook some mean crepes. I believe the Nutella taste better on them if the crepe get some artistic flight-time first. Indeed, the pan acts as a launchpad and the kitchen gets messy. So now, did you know that the first ever online-date took place in 475 BC when Xerxes I of Persia sought wife to marry in the Hall of a Hundred Columns at Persepolis? Collective Masses: "Remarkable! is that true?" Me: "No, no it is not." But I can tell you that I'm a simple down-to-earth kind of guy that like to laugh, spend time outside, cook, bike and play music. And yes, that's true. I believe that the relationships that work are simple & easy. I'm looking for somebody who, most importantly, enjoys life; somebody generally curious, active, open-minded, funny, & driven. Somebody with an healthy lifestyle, who likes to engage in discussions, isn't materialistic, loves to travel and has a joyful adventurous side.

I like finding adventures. I go the gym, swim and enjoy mountain running. Raft trips (I have my own 16ft Raft), backcountry snowboarding hut trips, cooking healthy with friends (homemade Nutella!!), watching good movies, playing bluegrass music...
It's all about good friends and fun project.. Playing music and cooking with friends is always fun. In the summer, a backpacking trip with good people along a creek is hard to beat. I don't watch TV, but I read and play music: guitar (& soon banjo!)
Lately: The origin of the universe by Simon Singh, Consolations of the forest by Sylvain Tesson, The Monkey Wrench Gand by Edward Abbey, history of counterintelligence and espionage from antiquity to nowadays by Claude Moniquet...

Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe (Leeds)
Editorial Staff • West End • 14 Dec 2004
With a couple of cut-off curved stairways going nowhere except around on revolves, and various spectral coat-shaped hangings sporadically filling space just for the sake of it. A downstage eye-in-the-sky roves left to right and back again reflecting projections also shown on a skew-whiff screen upstage - to very little purpose. It's all disappointingly pedestrian.
Adrian Mitchell's stage adaptation of the C S Lewis Christian allegory starts, properly enough, on a London railway station as four sibling youngsters are evacuated in the early 1940s to stay with the benevolent Professor Kirk and his austere below stairs staff. The Professor turns out to be appropriately doubled in the casting with Father Christmas, but other apposite doubling is eschewed.
The four children, who find their way, via a singularly unprepossessing little wardrobe (except for the fact that it is the only object on the set and thus bound to be investigated), to Narnia, are played by young adults, very much in the manner of the Comic Strip playing Enid Blyton's Famous Five - it falls only just short of excruciating, without the bonus of being funny. Although all are doubtless fine actors.
Over in Narnia, we find a Mr Tumnus, a Mr Beaver and a Mrs Beaver (Ian Conningham, David Streames and Lisa Howard) who are all very engaging but singularly unmenaced by a merely rather severe White Witch (Ellen O'Grady), who in turn only finds cuddly old lion Aslan (Michael Skyers) a bit of a handful. Well, great not to scare the kiddies, but whatever happened to serious dramatic conflict?
Russell Dixon, who doubles the roles of Professor Kirk and Father Christmas, is one of the finest actors on the northern circuit (and, incidentally, ex-RSC), who in only recent memory carried off the Manchester Evening News Best Actor Award for work at the Royal Exchange. Whilst he is doubtless not averse to an easy time over Christmas, it is preposterous to see him treading water like this for just a few minutes on stage.
There are some songs in this adaptation, too, though it's not clear why. They are not remotely organic and serve merely to stop the action in its tracks.
Alas, director Ian Brown, who has done so much that is right since his arrival at the WYP, simply hasn't got the measure of this one. I watched it surrounded by a house full of school parties: they were respectfully silent throughout and clapped politely at the end - this in a theatre more accustomed to stamping, cheering kids.

Activist to push climate politics
Democrat's millions aimed at influencing fall races on issue
Posted: May 22, 2014 at 5:49 a.m.
Tom Steyer, a billionaire environmental activist from California, wants to blast the issue of climate change to the front lines of U.S. politics: His super political action committee, NextGen Climate, will spend about $100 million this year to influence several Senate and governor's races in which climate change is seen as potentially playing a major role.

41 year old woman | Atascocita, TX, USA | Seeking men 40-51 within 30 miles
No dancing, drinking or debauchery here!!...yeah right!!
Well, here's a little about me...I am jealous, possessive, neurotic and I am a bit of a control freak. I love changing dirty diapers, dwelling on my past relationships, the smell of cat pee, waiting in long lines at Walmart, Houston traffic at 5:00 p.m., root canals, stepping in dog poop, raunchy farts, pants that are too tight and shoes that don't fit. You can say my life is routine, boring, drab and mundane. I love spending 14 hours a day in high heels at work, then coming home to clean house, do laundry and cook dinner for you. (in those same high heels!) I reek of cigarettes and on special occasions I put in my false teeth. I am most proud of being broke all the time, not owning a car, having once lived under the bridge at Buffalo Bayou, not having a college education, and that my family tree does not fork! I love to stroke your ego by telling you my Uncle Daddy is nowhere near as good as you! My idea of a typical romantic dinner would be for you to take me to the local Stop-N-Go for a Slurpee and a bag of chips or hot dog. On special events I like to dine at the local Chicken and Waffles House then attend a WWE event. Nothing like a family reunion to view your competition. For entertainment, I like to stay home locked in the basement while you beat and torture me. I love to tend to your every whim and limit my social interactions only to family functions. No dancing, drinking or debauchery here!! I would love to meet a Neanderthal man that is combative, controlling, abusive, and is still closely attached to his mothers breast. The more pessimistic and lazy you are the more attractive you become. Also, the less driven and lack of personality you have the better. I just love a man who can't make quick decisions, think for himself or provide for his family. A BIG bonus for my prospective mate is, that he must be shorter than me, have a few missing teeth, a rattley eye and is old enough for me to call him dad. Also, if you look like an axe murderer...mmm...SEXY!! Oh and how can I forget...the more geographically UNDESIRABLE you are, the better. If this sounds like you or even close to what you are looking for, please, for the love of GOD, Do NOT, under any circumstance contact me!! I hope your day is GREAT!!! :)
