The British Rail Class 365 "Networker Express" are dual-voltage (25 kV AC and 750 V DC) electric multiple units built by ABB at York, from 1994 to 1995. These were the last units to be built at the York factory before its closure. All Class 365 units in service have received front-end cab modifications to equip them with cab air conditioning, installed by WAGN, the design of which has given them the nickname "Happy Train".[2]
In the early 1990s, the Networker family was entering large-scale service in the Network SouthEast sector - both third-rail EMUs (Class 465/466) and DMUs (Class 165/166) were in service, with proposals for others, including a so-called "Universal Networker", intended as Class 371 and 381, that would have dual-voltage capability. However, by 1992, no work had been done in the development of these due to a lack of funding, so a replacement plan was required. For this, the Class 465 was modified for longer-distance services - a prototype was converted from an existing unit (designated as Class 465/3) to determine suitability, before funding was authorised for the purchase of 41 dual-voltage EMUs, each of four cars. These became the Class 365.[3][4][5]
Although specified as a dual-voltage unit, Class 365s have never operated with this capability since they were built with only one system of traction current pickup. Units 365501 to 365516, which worked briefly for Network SouthEast before the franchise was given to Connex South Eastern, were originally supplied only with DC shoe gear for use on the 750-volt third-rail system[6] (with the exception of unit 365502, which ran briefly on the AC network during testing and commissioning and was the main reason for this unit being chosen as the one subleased from Connex South Eastern to WAGN to bolster unit availability in the aftermath of the Potters Bar Crash in 2002). In this configuration the maximum speed was 90 mph (145 km/h).[7]
When they transferred to West Anglia Great Northern for use with 25 kV AC overhead line traction supply, the shoes and associated equipment were removed and a Brecknell Willis high speed pantograph was installed, along with other operator and voltage-specific modifications and testing by Bombardier Transportation at its Doncaster Works, shortly before the works were closed.
However, the 365s retain the original 750-volt DC bus, meaning that when on 25 kV overhead lines the current is collected as AC, rectified to DC for the onboard systems, and then inverted back to AC for the 3-phase traction motors. For running on overhead lines the maximum speed was raised to 100 mph (161 km/h).
Basic equipment consists of;
- DMOC A - 4x 3-phase AC traction motors, traction inverter, sander
- TOSL - Compressor, auxiliary converter, disabled toilet
- PTOSL - Pantograph, transformer, auxiliary converter, small toilet
- DMOC B - 4x 3-phase AC traction motors, traction inverter, sander
Dynamic (rheostatic) braking on the two Driving Motor coaches is available in addition to disc brakes, via a system of brake blending.
In common with the whole Networker fleet, wheel slide protection (WSP) operates on every axle. Under braking conditions a blowdown valve releases air from the brake cylinder of any axle if the rotational speed varies significantly from the average axle speed on the train.
Internal LED Passenger Information Display Systems (PIDS) and Auto-Announcers are fitted across the entire fleet.
Current operations[edit]
Great Northern[edit]
Thameslink and Great Northern, which took over the service formerly operated by First Capital Connect until 14 September 2014, and previously WAGN until 1 April 2006, uses Class 365s on outer-suburban services from King's Cross. These services are shared with older Class 317 and Class 321 units, although 365s are seen more frequently. Services generally fall into two categories:
- King's Cross to Peterborough
- King's Cross to Cambridge and on to King's Lynn
These services usually stop more frequently than the East Coast expresses with which they share the southern section of the East Coast Main Line, although there are exceptions, notably the non-stop services to Cambridge (many of which go on to King's Lynn), operated almost solely by Class 365 units.
All 40 units in service have received an interior refresh by FCC. This involved retrimming the carpet, dado panels and seat moquette, and the two toilets were repainted. Externally these units are all in FCC livery, with the exception of four units carrying WAGN's special advertising liveries.
Starting from January 2014, the first trains in the fleet will undergo a refurbishment by Bombardier Transportation at their Ilford site, some of which will be completed on a two-part basis with a second stage starting from the summer of 2014.[8] The first unit to be put back into service is 365 517, which began operations on 16 January 2014.[8] The initial refurbishment comprises new seat upholstery, new flooring, interior and exterior repaint and an engineering overhaul to maintain reliability.[8]
The second stage of upgrades will bring the units in line with the latest disability regulations by installing two wheelchair bays, new external door buttons and vestibule grab handles, a new wheelchair-accessible toilet, a new fully automated passenger information system with audio and visual announcements, and a call-for-aid in the wheelchair and toilet areas. This will be retrofitted to units that have already undergone refurbishment prior to the start of works.[8] Work is due to be completed in Autumn 2016.[9]
Former operations[edit]
South-eastern England[edit]
The first 16 sets were fitted for use on the 750V DC lines, entering service on 16 August 1996 for Network SouthEast. Following franchising, they became part of the South Eastern franchise, operated from 13 October that year by Connex South Eastern, then by South Eastern Trains.[3][4] All of these units were transferred to WAGN in 2004. Govia Thameslink Railway now has all the Class 365 units.
- 365526 - DMOC B and PTOSL were damaged in the Potters Bar rail crash in 2002.[10] Three coaches are in store at Railcare's Wolverton Works. The DMOC was written off as it was deemed to be beyond economical repair (and was used and eventually destroyed by the MoD for training purposes) whilst the PTOSL, which sustained damage to the drag box and sole bar, was deemed to be repairable if needed. The vehicles were bought from the insurance company, Lloyds, by HSBC Rail (UK) Ltd, the leasing agents of the Class 365s at that time, as a source of spare bodyshells and parts.[citation needed]
- 365531 - Leading DMOC was damaged in a fatal collision with a tractor at Black Horse Drove crossing in October 2005.[11]
- 365532 - DMOC A was damaged in a collision with a tractor at Hatson's User Worked Crossing in September 2011[12]
- 365512 - DMOC B was damaged in a fatal collision with a car at Pleasants crossing in July 2012.[13]
- A class 365 was in collision with another electric multiple unit at Cambridge on 30 May 2015. Three passengers sustained slight injuries.[14]

Eva Longoria attended the "Glamour" magazine Reel Moments events for the premier of the short she directed, "A Proper Send Off," Monday night in Los Angeles.
Then Longoria shifted gears from glitz to politics.
That same night, she hosted what "The Wall Street Journal" called "the first-ever Latino fund-raiser for Mr. Obama," at the home of colleagues Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith in the hopes of drumming up Latino support for the president.
The Hollywood Reporter says Longoria beamed with joy introducing the nation's commander-in-chief.
"[Obama] speaks to the Latino community because he knows he's the president of all Americans," said Longoria, as reported by THR.

No cure for stupid.
Ray: The deceiver-in-chief sure has a lot of people snowed! Isn't a U.S. prez supposed to protect US from enemies foreign and domestic? So, why does king O. allow the INVASION and OCCUPATION of America by foreigners? The wetbacks are, after all, those very foreign invaders and occupiers.

Some people support Obama because they're stupid.
Some people support Obama because they support evil.
Some people support Obama because they want to overthrow America.
Obama is a bi-sexual muslim that is controlled by those who want a
One World Government. America will never be the same.
No, America will never be the same, but we need to take her back and get the mess cleaned up that Obummer has created here and be even better than we were!!!
Listing the ones that support Obama was right on the money. With all them around I'd say we're going to have our hands full trying to get rid of them.
They stupid Hollywood donkeys are really disgusting, they're arrogant , self centered,anti-mainstream America and they have always hustled their own nationalistic ethnic bigotrys .These ugly Hollyweird Misfits are being shunned and spit on by the American People.
^5's…love you man…
You can tell Obama has longeria snowed !He just wants their vote and she is to stupid to see that!We should all not waqtch that stupid housewife she is on anyway it is corrupting to our kids ,they think families should act like that!!!
I will NOT patronize any of the movies that these Obama supporting "Useless Idiots" make and vote with my wallet.
Stop going to movies and they will not have money to support Obama. Especially for at least until after the 2012 election.
Meanwhile, their king O. is suing Alabama, just like he sued Arizona, for trying to do something about the invasion and occupation of America by illegal criminal aliens. Hispanic AMERICANS can only be hurt by the illegals. So why do stupid, ignorant, duped, poor misguided souls like Longoria and Banderas support the deceiver-in-chief?
Cudos to this posting…There's 2 things that NEED to stay out of politics…OBAMA & HOLLYWOOD…This country is on a crash course so buckle up everyonw and I mean that ~
As being Hispanic myself, I want the word DEFINED. Go to Miami and ask displaced CUBANS how they feel about Comrade Barry. Go to the Barrio of East Los Angeles and ask the same questions. ( gotta speak Spanish there though, they have no NEED to learn English ) There IS no monolithic HISPANIC block. Mexicans and Cubans are as disparate as Eskimos and Apaches ! ( both " native Americans " ) Communists and fools come in all colors though.
Thank you James for stating what anyone with any sense should know, but probably don't because the media and the schools have so dumbed down the American people many can't see past a racial/ethnic label.
I second that thank you james,at least there are some sane hispanic people left in America who love our country and what it offers them in return for a patriotic heart and a willingness to make something of themselves!I have always said it takes an immigrant from another country to appreciate America! We Americans take too much for granted until we are about to loss it!!.But NOT the way Obama is doing it!Nobody should get a free ride and be treated different than other Americans just to get their vote!!!I appreciate people who APPRECIATE!!!!
Bless you James.. NOBODY likes to lump folks in catagories and there are MANY of Spanish, Latino descent who ARE AMERICANS first and foremost and not like these puppets from La La Land who only use their voice to add to a problem. Half the time they open their mouths and when not reading from a script, do like Obummer without his teleprompter and promptly stick their foot into their mouths. Same here. This hero worship, adoration for this dictator is sad to see when knowing that those who follow him don't see what will happen to their lived if they vote him in again….
Why? Because they are very rich and very little if anything affects them as it does us. They are not living with filth, taking our jobs, free everything! Medical care, press 1 for english, free food etc…… None of these are even in their vocabulary.
WE the PEOPLE are the ones that suffer. Our kids and grandkids also.
let's boycott whatever it is their doing or promoting.
Yes AMAN not one dime to see one of there movies that well shut them up
I have been saying this for what seems like FOREVER! Boycott the movies. Hit them where it REALLY hurts, their wallets. By paying to see their movies, people are not only supporting their ridiculously lavish lifestyles, but YOUR MONEY is also being used by them against YOU (us)!
Thatsw what I was thinking We should boycott all these peoples movies and TV shows that favor Obama! How about it people!!!!!!
When Americans show they are to smart for obama's B.S. they then turn to the real morons in this case _______ as this group is the only ones stupid enough to still believe the stream of lies coming from his mouth. Am I the only one that thinks he has been in campaign mode since he got elected in the first place. Even the black community has finally seen through his lies as he has done nothing for anybody except make even more peopl;e dependent on the gov for survival
No John you are NOT alone there are plenty of us that saw through him even before he faked his way into the office of President!!!George Clooney and all those stars should be ashamed of themselves for what they are condoning with Obummer!!!
The enemy,To me these so called stars are biting the hand that has made them rich!Wait till Obama puts socialism on America,they will change their attitude then!!!Social ism doesnt want THE PEOPLE to own things or property!I wonder what will happen to all those mansions then.
too much money ! no fooking brains!!
Add USEFULL IDIOTS ??
Useful idiot is passe. One of their own, Cass Sunstein re-labeled them Homer Simpsons. He said this:
""Once we know that people are human and have some Homer Simpson in them, then there's a lot that can be done to manipulate them." "
How true in this case & with all 'progressive' 'liberals'.
Above quote from here:
Hollywood celebrities have almost always been liberal and follow the Democrat party to the point of stupidity. Then they claim all conservatives and Republicans are uneducated and ignorant.
It has been in the news lately that Obama has not been as pro-latino as Geo. Bush was. Most Latinos are not satisfied with Obama.
This is why I never go to movies, I don't want to pay for these idiots to spread this socialism…
I agree. I may not make a big dent in the movie attendance or the $$$ they make but I have a list of actors whose movies I won't see. I won't even watch a talk show (Leno, Letterman, etc) if they are on it.
BUT, I feel it's something I need to do.
Lets have the list!
I don't even go to the movie at all. The last time I was in the movie was 32 years ago. I quit going to movie because i don't like to see unrealistic stuff or make believe fiction movie. In addition, there are not good actor anyway. They are all a bunch of selfish greedy and lazy no good misfit sinner with no sense..
I don't give a hut and hell for any Rep. that goes to there movies
Tee'd I agree ,They dont make any good movies anyway anymore most of them are a bunch of concieted spoiled brats that can't make a movie without using the F word and cussing God's name and having sex constantly!They call that acting!!!Most of the movies today don't even have a plot!!DOWN WITH HOLLYWOOD PORN AND DOWN WITH OBAMA TOO!!
Beautiful woman … she needs to stick to acting and leave the thinking to others … ditto for Banderas …
Nobody ever said you have to be smart, or even aware, to be an actor.
Thats true el loco!!!!
Typical hollywood dumb mex/s – lock step – vote the color – the lib – withOUT any logical thot to future country ramifications. You also will lose in the long run.
You dumb s…. have lost 1/2 your fan base.
Keep your mouths shut. Would serve your interests better.
Meanwhile – adios, I avoid loudmouth lib entertainers like the plague.
I'll never watch a show or movie with those two morons ever again.
The wealth of the wicked will be transferred.The transfer is already under-way.It is clear which kingdom most of H-wood belongs. O is a leader for the prince of the world Vs the Kingdom of Heaven[A King and His Dominion].
I Guess The Two Of Them Like 'Bolshevik'S? (MARXIST LOVERS)
When people get popular and rich, they seem to think they get smarter. However, it seems they just get politcally stupid.
They're so obama-oriented and his "spread the wealth" BS, I wonder why you don't see them spreading THEIR wealth to those poor illegals on the streets of LA and the other sanctuary cities. They are hypocrites of the highest order, besides being glamorous idiots.
Well you know what they say Ted, beauty is only skin deep!!! You can be beautiful in face but ugly in the soul!!Thats what I always have told my daughter and granddaughters,be your self and let your soul shine through!!
Isn't it amazing…The ones that are being schmoozed by Pres. Alfred B. are the same ones that are turning this country into what they left for a better life in the FIRST PLACE!!!
It'sIronic ,isnt it Ern,I don't think they realize what they are doing sponsering someone like Obama and raising money for him to destroy America!!!!
Ther is proof for all that has beens and drugged up air heads can be talked into doing just about anything if it means getting their plastic mugs in front of a camera. The Latinos will probably drool over these two but not those that can read.
I thought that quality,and exceptional goods. Makes for brand loyalty !
She has to open her eyes to Obama Brand.
Na,her brain is mush, Won't help. To much Dope.
SO THEN THEY ARE SAYING IS.. LATINO'S had there first ever comedy club event to support the snake oil salesman… Sorry but most won't by the defective products Obama is trying to dish out to Americans of any race..
true…I will only vote REPUBLICAN…I don't care who is on the ticket, I just vote anything that isn't nobama.
Longoria has been successful in America, where there is political and economic freedom, Desperate Housewifes, A perfume business, Got married in Paris, etc. A few months ago she was intervieved in CNN En Español in a program titled "Ser Latino en Este Pais. (To be a Latin in this Country) The topic was Inmigration. She was asked if she had crossed the border. Her reply was that "they" moved the border on her. She is free to cross the border in the other direction.
Thank you Carlos !
Wow — I'm for sure going to vote for whoever Eva Longoria says. Since when are these people authorities on government???They are just looking for more spotlight on their sagging careers.
How sad that Longoria and Banderas are fundraising for a man that contributes to the demise of our own people by subsidizing Planned Parenthood.
The majority of these so called "clinics" or killing fields of the innocent, murder Hispanic and African American babies.
Planned Parenthood targets Hispanic and African American neighborhoods.
So I wonder what world these two are living in……….I forgot Hollywood.
Que paquete!
Ask the powers that be, why the Hispanic unemployment is so high? Why the ban on the incandescent light bulb is not receiving proper coverage etc….let's start dealing with substantive issues and leave the senseless catch phrases aside.
Don't give me nonsense like so and so is President of all the people…deal intelligently with the immigration, unemployment and other issues of substance.
By the way do not for one moment think that the Hispanic vote will be swayed solely by the immigration question.
carlos I wish that was true but that IS Obamas plan he doesn't really care about anyone but himself!!He thinks like a socialist because that is how he was raised!He wants their vote and he doesn't care how he gets it!Now him and his Amin. want to pass a law where its OK for the govt. to lie to the people!I was always taugt it was a sin to tell a lie!!!
.I know there are good hispanics just like there is good and bad in all people ,but he is teaching them (the illegals) to just use America!!!
I'm SO SORRY ANTONIO BANDERAS IS PROMOTING OBAMA—-CAN'T YOU SEE WHATS HAPPENING ?
Actors are nothing more then professional liars anyhow ,and anybody that would listen to them is a fool!Dr.Ron Paul for a Proven Honest (for Well Over 30 Years),Intelligent,God fearing,Patriot for President!!!
Tod, you know I like most of the things about Ron Paul but a couple of things I don't agree with him about! Like he thinks Iran isn't a threat to America,about the fences and border guards not helping keep america safe,about our defense system!We need to keep america safe with the best defense there is in this scary world and to treat our soldiers alot better too!!
Theres an old saying SHUT UP AND SING. I guess these people think they have more influence over the people. Do they really think WE would be swayed by all these phonies? I heard on the radio rose petals were spread on the floor for his entrance. This is so truly sick. Then we're supposed to be swayed by these rich drones. It only goes to prove they think WE THE PEOPLE are stupid. I have stopped going to the movies I will not support these frauds with my money.
I agree Mary it is a waste of time hollywood has become so selfish and ignorant anymore not respectful like the old time actors,they were concerned about what their actions had infuence wise on our children!!There are a FEW who have kept their heads out of the clouds and try to help others,but very few!!
Ban together BOYCOTT HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!
I once had great respect for Eva and Antonio, but their and others support for Obama just kicked all that out the door. Beauty and talent they have…common sense and a love for these United States of America, they have not! All they see is a minority leadership, no matter what the cost. Don't misunderstand that comment…I am not a predjudiced man…a man's color, ethniticity, etc. should have nothing to do with common intelligence, patriotism, etc. The Communist leadership in office in America at this time needs to be removed!
In addition to the comments I just made, one must know I have many Latino and Black friends, along with most every other nationality. They agree with what I said…many of them coming from countries controlled by communists and other dictators. My eldest son is adopted..been my son since he was less that an hour old. His birth mother was from Guadlahara, Mexico here working on a green card when some "slime-ball" raped her at 14 and she gave birth to my son at 15. I am a Christian and love everyone, but hate the ways of communism and other "like" attrocities!
Confiscate the MILLIONS that they make each year – give them back $250,000 (or is that too much now?) and "spread the wealth" to WE THE PEOPLE.
bigUgly, thats what Obamas socialism will do to them!!!Everyone but his highnASS will be the commoners and he will live in luxury HE THINKS!!!!!!!IMPEACH NOW!!!
I was under the impression that 99% of latinos were
Christians..Now up pops some of that 1% that
wants us to support a muslim.. NO WAY JOSE!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA, Now & Forever…
Come on send a message to Hollywood, the media and all left wing magazines. Quit watching them, quit purchasing movie tickets, and dvd with these nuts on them. quit buying these left wing magazines. Quit watching CNN, ESPN and MSNBC When you begin to hurt them where it counts just they have hurt you. They will turn their cheeks.
Enough I think you are right! Iread where the far left media is hurting for lack of viewers!Keep it up people!!
No one has ever accused Eva Langoria or
Antonio Banderas of being intelligent.
Jim … Bishop Sheen once said on TV most members of the intelligensia are educated beyond their intellect.
The left wing hollywood crowd should be
boycotted. Sean Penn, Morgan Freeman,Danny
Glover,Susan Sarandon et al. These morons
must pay a price for their stupidity.
The impact of two self-centered, moronic entertainers like this, stumping for YO-baba, is likely to be paralleled by Barbra Streisand and David Steinberg stumping for Hezbollah.
"Moderated" again.
Raymond I don't see why they keep doing that most of the things I've seen that you post I agree with!!!!Whats up!
Boycott their movies, T.V. shows and everything they advertise, I will not set foot in Wal-Mart for the simple reason that they support China,as far as the Latinos supporting Obeaner,todo lo que sabes es incorrecto! Eman para mierda!
I am not about hate, but from what i can see the Latins stick with the Blacks in their hatred of Whitey. When Whitey disappears as far as the populaion stats, lets see if they can keep the country going… Smile, snicker
Let these ding bat liberals support more and more freebies for Latinos and Blacks. If they were true to their thinking, California would not be a "broke ass" state. With all the Hollywood elite, why not take all their money and pass it around Calif. and see how they like that…………..Who cares what these people think anyway, none of they have a brain of their own
"[Obama] speaks to the Latino community because he knows he's the president of all Americans [inclluding all of Central and South America, he is the President of Chile, Belieze, Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina, he is all]," said Longoria, as reported by THR.
KGB admitting the use of celebrities to brain wash Americans… HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DummyCrats will continue to vote for the obummer because of his handouts of Our Money.
Before this is over, YO-baba will have a mariachi band playing the national anthem as he tries to do a Mexican hat dance. All of this to woo the latino vote. You don't suppose Banderas and Longoria are illegal aliens, do you?
God is love, and without God there is no love, only lust. Either God is your Father through Jesus Christ, or Satan is your father. If God is not your Father and Jesus is not your personal Lord and Savior, then your spiritual eyes are blind and you cannot see what is really going on.
He who refuses to learn from history is condemned to repeat it. If you look at history and you can't see that George Washington and the vast majority of our Founding Fathers created with God's help through Christian principles the greatest Nation on the face of the earth, you are simply not looking.
But because we have turned away, God is punishing us; and it will get a whole lot worse before it is over. Indeed, He will turn us over to our enemies.
The Democrats have been in control for 50 of the last 60 years, and we have been on the road to hell since.
In 1962 we allowed one Atheist woman to convince the highest court in our land to invite God and His Son out of our schools, and consequently out of our homes, and our nation. And since then the Democrats have appointed and confirmed Liberal Activist Judges who have further taken Christianity out of every aspect of our lives.
If you want an idea just how upset God is with us, just read Leviticus chapter 26, KJV.
I agree and I hope that old woman is roasting in HELL!Her own son became a christian but she went to her grave as an atheist!We as christians have GOT to stop this downward spiral of our religious beliefs!EVIL HAS taken over in America and our quality of life as plummeted also, we have to change that!
Hollywood Stars go make movies Not Politics.
They get media coverage and they just love to kiss the arses of the power elite just for the publicity. The power elite invest in their movies and Corporate TV sponsors . You and me not so much Duh. what are you attempting to say?
Man, I hate to hear this about Eva and Antonio. Antonio was one of my favorites and I was really looking forward to seeing his new Puss and Boots movie (coming out this week, I think). Well, guess I won't be seeing that one or any others with these stars in them. I am a boycotter and believe enuf of us will eventually make a difference to the industry.
Excuse me Please! Is Antonio a Citizen of the U.S. or of Spain? The U.S., go for it Dude, Spain, Butt Out, Just stand there and Smile for the Camera.
Ihave some of the names you have been looking for. JUST SAY NO! to: Sean Penn,Morgan Freeman, Danny Glover, Susan Saranwrap, Barbara Striesand, David Steinberg,Ellen Degenerate, Brad Paisely, Jane Fonda, Micheal Moore, Melanie Griffith, Antonio Bandareas, Matt Damon, Oprah, Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen,Rachel Madcow, Rosanne Barr, Jon Stuart, David Lettermen, and Jay Leno. The list keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Well grandma America We do have a bunch of fools on that list huh? Its hard to believe so many people could be fooled by Mr.STUPID!
Well add Eva and Antonio to my no watch list.
The only WAY we can wake up these morons in Hollywood is to STOP SUPPORTING them and their movies. Most of them are crap anyway!!! Stop watching the Commies and stop going to the movies. Have friends over and play games or discuss politics!!! Leonardo made 77 million this year – BOYCOTT these idiots!!!!
These people live in an unrealistic world – not being able to discern reality from scripts, evidently. Mr. Obama has done NOTHING to help joblessness or anything else – until now when he's hot on the campaign trail. I do believe he's stilll in our employ and needs to get to work and off MY nickel on his campaign trail. Same old – same old –
You are dead-on right. The big lefties are now suffering at the box office and they will continue to so very unpopular is Mr. Obama.
The Two Minute Conservative at http://adrianvance.blogspot.com has political analysis, science and humor. Now in the top 3% on Kindle.
Really, who cares that he goes to pick up some cash!!! I don't care for the man and never did, including not voting for him. Now these two are kissing up to a country wrecker.
These people, who have made their millions off the backs of MAINSTREAM AMERICA, do not realize that they're sabotaging their livelihood. I will never pay to watch a movie or tv show, nor will I buy products from any sponsors who advertise for any of the tv shows that ANY liberal moron actors/musicians act in. Maybe when they're stuck here with the rest of mainstream America, they'll change their tunes.
I'm directing this to all you liberal activist millionaires, who have made their fortunes in movies or selling CDs any playing music. You'd better think twice before splattering your politics over your art. Your art could soon become worthless – no matter how good it is. This is THAT serious of a thing.
More actors I will never support again. and I am not alone.
Die Hollywood, Die!
D. Hanes I have not supported those two for a long time. Longoria has always struck me as a Hollywood Libtard airhead. I admired Bandaras but could see his Hollywood leanings a while ago. TV is getting as bad as Hollywood movie sas far as the Libtard message. AS a semi firarms expert(no one can be a complete total expert on anything) I see the anti-gun message (lies) on the CSI series and NBC shows(even worse) and the subliminal attacks on the Republicans.
Instead of supporting these Useful Idiots, support Christian-themed films like "Courageous", and those who distribute and create them.
Incredible, cannot believe Banderas, Griffith , Longoria and others are such fans of marxism. Surely, they've enjoyed the freedoms and rights our constitution has afforded them throughout their lives and careers.Could it be that they are just plain stupid and clueless? Surely, its not all just about making millions of criminals legal overnight. I will never spend another dime on any movie or other form of entertainment any of these idiots are involved with.
boycott all liberals everywhere. The pocketbook is a real game changer. No more pc corruption. No more gangs. No more political bs. No more foreign aid to any group or any country and no military help for anyone but ourselves. Slam shut all our borders,airports,seaports,etc. Deport all criminals,gangs,corrupt politicians asap.Start with disbarred lawyers like o and m and many senators,reps,other gov crooks.holder,nap,frank,dodd,lots need to be deported for forever.one way.you will be sorry you were so unAmerican antiAmerican traitors.
There are many Hispanics that don't like Obama but of course this is all manipulated by the left wing media.
Makes Tony Parker look smarter all the time.
I've always considered myself a pretty good judge of people's body language and I truly think Eva Longoria has a crush on Obama….I'm serious! She gets all excited whenever she's around him. At least that's what I've observed when she's in his presence. She just gets all giggly and overcome with excitement.
On another note….we could teach her and the Hollywood crowd a lesson by boycotting their movies.
Well, I just lost another actor I enjoyed. It was nice, Antonio, but it is over. I will not continue to go see or purchase movies with you in them. I will not continue to purchase products you advertise.
I didn't care much for Eva any way so she is no loss.
Since they have so much time and money on their hands I guess re-distributing their worth is fine, I am willing to take a thousand dollars from each of these 3 people. Why should Obama get it? He will just use it to pay his dog keeper for 2 weeks basically since the person makes 8500.00 a month.
You can't make ignorance go away, can you?

Question about transferring the copyright of your artwork to a client
I'm fairly new to the whole illustrating for clients and getting paid thing.
I'm illustrating a book and the publishing company wants me to sign away all the rights to the illustrations to them. Is this okay? Should I ask that they add a clause requiring them to display my name alongside any future publications of my work? Add a clause that they not sell it/alter it/whatever? I assume I would still be allowed to use these works in my online portfolio for example, right? Or should this also be written down in the contract?
I obviously don't want to get screwed over since I have zero experience with this. So what should I pay attention to while signing any contract of transferring copyright? What should I definitely NOT agree to? And what should I definitely be ready to agree to?

The world around us is full of so much pain and anger. There are storms of injustice brewing off in the distance and seeds of hatred being planted in the minds of those who are innocent and impressionable.
My time as a volunteer isn't always fun -- there is usually time, energy and even money involved -- but it is always meaningful and gratifying.
From that website they affirm that "No Poor Among Them is a project devoted to education and inspiration in the art of service and the passion to end poverty."
Studies show: people who volunteer tend to be healthier, happier, live longer and experience greater career success.
If you've ever doubted that a small group of dedicated individuals can change - in this case, save - the world, I encourage you to read TIME's story about the Ebola fighters and then do something to support their efforts.

Tis the season of giving. Right? From "Giving Tuesday" to Salvation Army bell ringers to frantic online donations or checks postmarked by Dec. 31, charitable giving spikes in December.
Holiday toy drives, donations to food banks, visiting a nursing home, making homemade cards, donating money, and serving meals at a shelter are great ways to practice gratitude. See if you can get your friends and family to go together. Doing something for others can make your holiday experience especially meaningful -- and put that fight over stuffing into perspective.
Today, 5.6 million teens and young adults ages 16 to 24 throughout the United States are neither in school nor working. They are disconnected from the very paths -- education and career -- that will help to make them productive participants in our society and our economy.
I love the work organizations like KEEN does, but it saddens me that we actually need to recruit volunteers to fulfill social and emotional needs that wonderful people like Charles are often deprived of.
If a volunteer is in fact an employee then employee protection laws such as minimum wage and overtime, as well as Title VII, will frequently apply. Consult experienced legal counsel to review your specific situation.
So many youngsters and teens alike are facing difficult days as the holidays near. They are in search of another world, a more loving community, a l...
Looking back, if there's one piece of advice I could offer to jobseekers this International Volunteer Day, it's that volunteering can have as much value for the volunteer as it does for the community or organization they serve.
Created as a response to "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday," #GivingTuesday was spearheaded by the 92nd Street Y in partnership with the United Nations Foundation and other admirable organizations.

Charles Enderby
Charles Enderby (1798-1876) was one of three sons of Samuel Enderby Junior (1756-1829). He was the grandson of Samuel Enderby (1717-1797), who founded the Samuel Enderby & Sons company in 1775.[1] Samuel Enderby & Sons was one of the most prominent English sealing and whaling firms, active in both the Arctic and Southern Oceans. Charles and his two brothers, Henry and George, inherited Samuel Enderby & Sons when their father Samuel Junior died in 1829. They moved the company headquarters in 1830 from Paul's Wharf to Great St. Helens in London.
Role of Samuel Enderby & Sons in exploration of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean[edit]
Also in 1830, Charles became a founding member of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS). He served on the council of the RGS on several occasions between 1842 and 1847. Charles encouraged masters of Enderby vessels to report geographical discoveries and had notable successes with John Biscoe and John Balleny, who between them discovered Enderby Land, Graham Land, the Balleny Islands and the Sabrina Coast. Another Enderby captain, Abraham Bristow, discovered the Auckland Islands in 1806, naming one of the islands Enderby Island. In January, 1841 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society [2]
Effect of exploratory voyages on viability of Samuel Enderby & Sons[edit]
These many voyages of exploration, while fruitful in terms of geographical discovery, were not financially profitable for the Enderby family business. While the exploratory voyages were slowly sapping the company's resources, the destruction of Enderby's Hemp Rope Works, the company's rope-making factory on the Greenwich Peninsula in the London Borough of Greenwich, triggered an immediate need for a change in the company business plan.
Auckland Islands and the Enderby Settlement[edit]
Looking for a way to revive the firm's fortunes, Charles Enderby successfully petitioned for government backing to establish a settlement on the Auckland Islands 'for the purpose of the whale fishery, as a station at which to discharge the cargoes and refit vessels'.[3] In 1846, Charles founded the Southern Whale Fishery Company in England. In December 1849, he established the Enderby Settlement in Erebus Cove, Port Ross, at the north-eastern end of Auckland Island, close to Enderby Island.[4][5] This was the beginning of the community named Hardwicke. The Hardwicke settlement was based on agriculture, resupply and minor repair of ships, and whaling. However, the cold, damp climate and acid soils made agriculture impossible, and the eight whaling ships attached to the station caught very few whales. Ultimately unsuccessful, the colony was abandoned in August 1852.[4]
Final years[edit]
Charles Enderby returned to London in 1853. The ill-fated Enderby Settlement finally bankrupted the Enderby family business, which was liquidated in 1854.[6] Charles Enderby died in poverty in London on 31 August 1876.

Man-Made Chemicals Found in Drinking Water at Low Levels
Safe drinking water supplies are critical to maintaining and preserving public health, but how healthy is that resource? Low levels of certain man made chemicals remain in public water supplies after being treated in selected community water facilities. Water from nine selected rivers, used as a source for public water systems, was analyzed in a study by the USGS. Most of the man-made chemicals assessed in the study are unregulated in drinking water and not required to be monitored or removed. Scientists tested water samples for about 260 commonly used chemicals, including pesticides, solvents, gasoline hydrocarbons, personal care and household-use products, disinfection by-products, and manufacturing additives. For more information visit http://water.usgs.gov/nawqa/swqa/ or contact Jennifer LaVista at 703-648-4432 or email@example.com.
Reversing Coral Reef Decline in Hawaii A New Look at a Critical Problem
New discoveries about how even small amounts of sediment can severely impact fragile ocean coral and suggestions about solutions are illustrated and described in a new book written by a team of USGS scientists and their colleagues. Coral reefs are in decline worldwide, and a leading cause is the runoff of sediment and pollutants from nearby land surfaces. Scientists conducted a multiyear study of the long fringing coral reef off south Molokai. In the new book, they explain the geologic evolution and natural processes that shape the reef, outline impacts to the reef that are a result of human activity on the land, and explore alternatives for the future.

"Board members heard our arguments against Wal-Mart and to their credit, they listened and we convinced them," he said.
Baskin said Wal-Mart is the first of many fights to come. He said because the town didn't vote to exercise a size cap during the rezoning process, many more big box development projects will be trying to come into the town.
"This town board did the right thing, but what will happen when a new board is elected?" he asked. "Wal-Mart hires people to fight for them. We all have day jobs. We don't want to play the role of Ballston's protector all the time."
Baskin said the fight against Wal-Mart is not about the com-pany, but about all large-scale development projects.
"Wal-Mart needs 100,000 people to sustain it, Ballston is a community of 9,000," Baskin said, adding that instead of "big box" development projects with large parking lots, he supports mixed-use development projects.
Baskin said the victory Concerned Citizens for Smart Growth had over Wal-Mart could be an example to other neigh-borhood community organizations.
"It is up to the residents of the town to preserve their town, to know what their town government is doing and exercise their democratic rights," he said.

1. Yes, there is a psychological contract between MySpace users and the company. Users get addicted to spending time on this site and feeling satisfied by keeping up to date on what their friends are doing and what else is going with other peoples l ives. The psychological contract that forms is due to the increasing desire for people to feel satisfied and how they feed that desire on sites like MySpace. The user gets the gratification of seeing their friends on MySpace and being able to use their creativity to shape their own page on there. In return, MySpace gives them a site t hat can do all of this and makes money from their visits. 2. MySpace provides an environment for people to freely express themselves in. I nstead of only discussing with only a few close friends, people are now able to let anyone on the internet know what sort of day theyve had or what kind of mood they are in. This allows other users to offer support or comments that might not have been there otherwise, and help fuel the addictive nature of MySpace. I think that people express themselves more on MySpace which leads to more emotions being on display there than in real life. This effect has had a large impact on the success of M ySpace. 3. It does not appear that most college students are doing much editing on their M ySpace pages. There are an abundance of photos of students at parties and events w ith destructive atmospheres. They are certainly not photos that you would want potential employers looking at or even law enforcement agencies in some cases. Also, i n some cases students will post information such as email, phone numbers, or addresses that they would probably not want falling into the hands of strangers on t he internet.

Winds of Change: Parliamentary Elections in Iran
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
LINDSEY HILSUM, ITN: Bicycles– that's one of the issues for Iranian women in Friday's elections. They're not allowed to cycle in public in case the wind wraps their clothes around them, revealing the contours of their bodies. Then there's the question of initiating divorce: Men can, and women can't. Women expect female candidates to raise women's issues, says this campaigner, because these were ignored before. Fariba Pajooh is an architecture student. She's 20 and has joined the campaign team for one of the reformist parties. The 1979 revolution was spearheaded by young people, and so are today's politics of change.
FARIBA PAJOOH, Reformist Campaigner: (speaking through interpreter) I'm not giving you slogans. I want an Iran without discrimination against any group or person. Everybody should have the freedom to talk without fear of being imprisoned.
LINDSEY HILSUM: On the streets, the slogans have it. While conservative candidates trumpet the values of pure Islamic ideals, reformers– aware that 70% of Iranians are under 30, and even 16-year-olds have the vote– are wooing the youth. Live on TV last night, 500 couples marry. In revolutionary Iran, boys and girls aren't allowed to socialize together. Many want to marry young, but they can't afford it. This mass wedding brings down the cost, and they even let the young man and woman sit together. Then comes the politics. President Khatami, the reformer's hero, blesses the wedding, giving traditional gold coins, and a boost to the reformist campaign. But don't think that all young Iranians are alike. These are the Basiij. It means "those who are mobilized" — boys, yes, and even some girls who say all they want is to martyr themselves for Islam. They're led by the national karate coach. It was the brothers of working class boys like these who lost their lives in the war against Iraq. They're now a street army for conservative clerics trying to hang onto power. One young man organizes a street exhibition commemorating 21 years of the revolution. For him, reform is just a cover for corrupting western values.
MEHDI POORSAYAH, Conservative Campaigner: (speaking through interpreter) We want a free Islamic Iran, solid and firm. We're the ones following the aims of the revolution, and our leader, Ayatollah Kohmenei.
LINDSEY HILSUM: Banners and slogans. 38 million Iranians meet on Friday and they know this election is important. The reformers hope they can tip the balance of Iranian politics, so the previously conservative dominated parliament will stop blocking and start promoting President Khatami's progressive program. The conservatives fear their power will slip away.
DR. HASSAN GHAFOURYFARD, Conservative Candidate: We have a special way of life, a special class of thinking, a very important ideology, which is a religious ideology which we have been sacrificing for, for the last 20 years, and we have done so much to make sure it is implemented in the country.
LINDSEY HILSUM: At a pro-reform rally in Tehran yesterday, teenagers clapped and swayed, not allowed. The conservatives blame western influence, Iran's opening up. Britain recently reopened its embassy, and there are increasing numbers of cultural and educational exchanges with the great Satan– America– something the reformers applaud.
AHMAD BOURGHANI, Reformist Candidate: (speaking through interpreter) My idea and the idea of all reformists is that we should completely remove the tension, and correct the distorted relationship Iran has with other countries.
LINDSEY HILSUM: 30 million Iranians have been born since Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution. Those who want change are not fighting for a new, secular revolution, but many want to break the absolute power of the clergy. Friday's parliamentary elections are their chance.

Corporate Christians and Terrible Turks: Economics, Aesthetics, and the Representation of Empire in the Early British Travel Narrative, 1630 - 1780
Date: December 2003
Creator: Abunasser, Rima Jamil
Description: This dissertation examines the evolution of the early English travel narrative as it relates to the development and application of mercantilist economic practices, theories of aesthetic representation, and discourses of gender and narrative authority. I attempt to redress an imbalance in critical work on pre-colonialism and colonialism, which has tended to focus either on the Renaissance, as exemplified by the works of critics such as Stephen Greenblatt and John Gillies, or on the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as in the work of scholars such as Srinivas Aravamudan and Edward Said. This critical gap has left early travel narratives by Sir Francis Moore, Jonathan Harris, Penelope Aubin, and others largely neglected. These early writers, I argue, adapted the conventions of the travel narrative while relying on the authority of contemporary commercial practices. The early English travelers modified contemporary conventions of aesthetic representation by formulating their descriptions of non-European cultures in terms of the economic and political conventions and rivalries of the early eighteenth century. Early English travel literature, I demonstrate, functioned as a politically motivated medium that served both as a marker of authenticity, justifying the colonial and imperial ventures that would flourish in the nineteenth century, and as ...

Female Inheritors of Hawthorne's New England Literary Tradition
Date: August 1994
Creator: Adams, Dana W. (Dana Wills)
Description: Nineteenth-century women were a mainstay in the New England literary tradition, both as readers and authors. Indeed, women were a large part of a growing reading public, a public that distanced itself from Puritanism and developed an appetite for novels and magazine short stories. It was a culture that survived in spite of patriarchal domination of the female in social and literary status. This dissertation is a study of selected works from Nathaniel Hawthorne, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman that show their fiction as a protest against a patriarchal society. The premise of this study is based on analyzing these works from a protest (not necessarily a feminist) view, which leads to these conclusions: rejection of the male suitor and of marriage was a protest against patriarchal institutions that purposely restricted females from realizing their potential. Furthermore, it is often the case that industrialism and abuses of male authority in selected works by Jewett and Freeman are symbols of male-driven forces that oppose the autonomy of the female. Thus my argument is that protest fiction of the nineteenth century quietly promulgates an agenda of independence for the female. It is an agenda that encourages the woman to ...

John Graves and the Pastoral Tradition
Date: August 2001
Creator: Anderson, David Roy
Description: John Graves's creative non-fiction has earned him respect in Texas letters as a seminal writer but scarce critical commentary of his work outside the region. Ecological criticism examines how language, culture and the land interact, providing a context in which to discuss Graves in relation to the southwestern literary tradition of J. Frank Dobie, Walter P. Webb, and Roy Bedichek, to southern pastoral in the Virgilian mode, and to American nature writing. Graves's rhetorical strategies, including his appropriation of form, his non-polemical voice, his experimentation with narrative persona, and his utilization of traditional tropes of metaphor, metonymy, and irony, establish him as a conservative and Romantic writer of place concerned with the friction between traditional agrarian values and the demands of late-twentieth-century urban/technological existence. Sequentially, Graves's three main booksGoodbye to a River (1960), Hard Scrabble (1974), and From a Limestone Ledge (1980)represent a movement from the pastoral mode of the outward journey and return to the more domestic world of georgic, from the mode of leisure and contemplation to the demands and rewards of hard work and ownership. As such they represent not only progression or maturation in the arc of the narrator's life but a desire to reconcile ideological ...

Stretched Out on Her Grave: Pathological Attitudes Toward Death in British Fiction 1788-1909
Date: August 2003
Creator: Angel-Cann, Lauryn
Description: Nineteenth-century British fiction is often dismissed as necrophillic or obsessed with death. While the label of necrophilia is an apt description of the fetishistic representations of dead women prevalent at the end of the century, it is too narrow to fit literature produced earlier in the century. This is not to say that abnormal attitudes toward death are only a feature of the late nineteenth century. In fact, pathological attitudes toward death abound in the literature, but the relationship between the deceased and the survivor is not always sexual in nature. Rather, there is a clear shift in attitudes, from the chaste death fantasy, or attraction to the idea of death, prevalent in Gothic works, to the destructive, stagnant mourning visible in mid-century texts, and culminating in the perverse sexualization of dead women at the turn of the century. This literary shift is most likely attributable to the concurrent changes in attitudes toward sex and death. As sex became more acceptable, more public, via the channels of scientific discourse, death became a less acceptable idea. This "denial of death" is a direct reaction to the religious uncertainties brought about by industrialization. As scientists and industrialists uncovered increasing evidence against a ...

The Theme of Isolation in Selected Short Fiction of Kate Chopin, Katherine Anne Porter, and Eudora Welty
Date: August 1998
Creator: Arima, Hiroko, 1959-
Description: "The Theme of Isolation in Selected Short Fiction of Kate Chopin, Katherine Anne Porter, and Eudora Welty" examines certain prototypical natures of isolation as recurrent and underlying themes in selected short fiction of Chopin, Porter, and Welty. Despite the differing backgrounds of the three Southern women writers, and despite the variety of issues they treat, the theme of isolation permeates most of their short fiction. I categorize and analyze their short stories by the nature and the treatment of the varieties of isolation. The analysis and comparison of their short stories from this particular perspective enables readers to link the three writers and to acknowledge their artistic talent and grasp of human psychology and situations.

Ethics in Technical Communication: Historical Context for the Human Radiation Experiments
Date: August 2005
Creator: Audrain, Susan Connor
Description: To illustrate the intersection of ethical language and ethical frameworks within technical communication, this dissertation analyzes the history and documentation of the human radiation experiments of the 1940s through the 1970s. Research propositions included clarifying the link between medical documentation and technical communication by reviewing the literature that links the two disciplines from the ancient period to the present; establishing an appropriate historiography for the human radiation experiments by providing a context of the military, political, medical, and rhetorical milieu of the 1940s to the 1970s; closely examining and analyzing actual human radiation experiment documentation, including proposals, letters, memos, and consent forms, looking for established rhetorical constructions that indicate a document adheres to or diverts from specific ethical frameworks; and suggesting the importance of the human radiation documents for studying ethics in technical communication. Close rhetorical analysis of the documents included with this project reveals consistent patterns of metadiscourse, passive and nominal writing styles, and other rhetorical constructions, including negative language, redundancies, hedges, and intensifiers, that could lead a reader to misunderstand the writer's original ethical purpose. Ultimately this project finds that technical communicators cannot classify language itself as ethical or unethical; the language is simply the framework with which ...

Always Painting the Future: Utopian Desire and the Women's Movement in Selected Works by United States Female Writers at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
Date: August 2009
Creator: Balic, Iva
Description: This study explores six utopias by female authors written at the turn of the twentieth century: Mary Bradley Lane's Mizora (1881), Alice Ilgenfritz Jones and Ella Merchant's Unveiling Parallel (1893), Eloise O. Richberg's Reinstern (1900), Lena J. Fry's Other Worlds (1905), Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland (1915), and Martha Bensley Bruère's Mildred Carver, USA (1919). While the right to vote had become the central, most important point of the movement, women were concerned with many other issues affecting their lives. Positioned within the context of the late nineteenth century women's rights movement, this study examines these "sideline" concerns of the movement such as home and gender-determined spheres, motherhood, work, marriage, independence, and self-sufficiency and relates them to the transforming character of female identity at the time. The study focuses primarily on analyzing the expression of female historical desire through utopian genre and on explicating the contradictory nature of utopian production.

Personal Properties: Stage Props and Self-Expression in British Drama, 1600-1707
Date: December 2009
Creator: Bender, Ashley Brookner
Description: This dissertation examines the role of stage properties-props, slangily-in the construction and expression of characters' identities. Through readings of both canonical and non-canonical drama written between 1600 and 1707-for example, Thomas Middleton's The Revenger's Tragedy (1607), Edward Ravenscroft's adaptation of Titus Andronicus (1678), Aphra Behn's The Rover (1677), and William Wycherley's The Plain Dealer (1677)-I demonstrate how props mediate relationships between people. The control of a character's props often accords a person control of the character to whom the props belong. Props consequently make visual the relationships of power and subjugation that exist among characters. The severed body parts, bodies, miniature portraits, and containers of these plays are the mechanisms by which characters attempt to differentiate themselves from others. The characters deploy objects as proof of their identities-for example, when the women in Behn's Rover circulate miniatures of themselves-yet other characters must also interpret these objects. The props, and therefore the characters' identities, are at all times vulnerable to misinterpretation. Much as the props' meanings are often disputed, so too are characters' private identities often at odds with their public personae. The boundaries of selfhood that the characters wish to protect are made vulnerable by the objects that they use ...

It wasn't even 9 a.m. on Friday and my inbox for my voicemail was already maxed out. My story of 21 sex offenders living in two Garden Grove motels - side by side - had hit doorsteps and e-mail inboxes. It raised a lot of eyebrows - and the blood pressures of a lot of parents.
They e-mailed and called, outraged and wanting to know how these predators ended up in their neighborhood and what they could do to get them out.
I tried to call them all back - sympathizing and answering their questions as best I could. Sex offenders are serious stuff, but there really isn't a whole lot your average Joe can do about them. But the voicemail from a woman named Judy made me laugh. She had spunk - and a great idea. I dialed her up.
A sweet little voice answered.
"Why couldn't you print their pictures in the newspaper?" Judy asked. "That way we can cut them out and take them with us."
"And if we see someone suspicious, we can pull it out and check."
To be fair - a slideshow of each and every one of the 16 "full-disclosure" - or higher risk sex offenders - was on our Web site - but it's not something you can clip out like a 25-cent coupon for Dinty Moore Beef Stew.
Now - Judy a grandmother of two and a retired teacher - seemed to be more prepared than a Girl Scout. I bet she could even create fire by rubbing together things she keeps in her purse. And she wasn't going to take her grandchildren - 2 and 9 - out the door without having some kind of idea of what danger is lurking out there.
Judy doesn't live within the quarter-mile radius of the motels - so she didn't have a soft-spoken police cadet show up at her doorstep Thursday with a flier warning about the influx of child molesters into the neighborhood. But Judy doesn't live inside a bubble either.
There are a lot of Judys out there who go grocery shopping and to El Torito. They get their tires fixed and their hair cut - right across from these motels. They have every right.
And to do that - and feel safe doing it - this retired lady is staring at her television set - trying to burn the images of these 16 convicted child molesters into her brain - just in case.
"I tried to remember what they looked like," Judy told me. "But there are just so many of them."
The Department of Corrections says its back is up against a wall when it comes to housing sex offenders. Proposition 83, approved by voters in November, now prohibits all newly paroled sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of schools and parks. In Orange County, that works out to about three places in the county where they can legally live.
California's Megan's law internet database is fantastic - but it's pretty darn inconvenient to haul around a laptop and whip it out every time the guy standing outside the grocery store makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Maybe instead of the Judys of the world marching out their front doors armed with the names and pictures of the sex offenders - the parole department should take the initiative. Make a few more house calls - not just wish them a happy birthday when they check in for their yearly registration and watch them walk out the door to who knows where. And maybe Judy would feel a little safer - and be able to carry a smaller purse.

Originally written on Jb Smooth's Spot | Last updated 10/18/12
The Eagles the last season and a half have not been the team that their high priced payroll and flashy names would suggest. The defense was being helmed by Juan Castillo who was previously the teams offensive line coach. After losing 8 games in 2011, many of which they led in the 4th quarter, and starting off 3-3 in 2012, with the defense struggling Andy Reid and the Eagles decided to go in a different direction. Castillo is replaced by Todd Bowles, who was the teams secondary coach. The Eagles face a ton of pressure which declarations from management that have said if the team doesn't make the playoffs they would make a change at head coach and quarterback. While the team is in a bye week which should make for a good time as any to make a change. It was a radical move to hire Castillo in that role in the first place, so his firing could be seen as a sign of panic by Reid. I question, if this doesn't work and spark the players to perform better, where does Reid go from there?
