At this point, we remain Emmyless. It's a strange feeling … almost like being naked at an amusement park. For the second time in less than a month, the 53rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards have been postponed.
I was there Sunday, dressed down as designated by the organizers. The atmosphere was a bit subdued and somber, even a little quiet. In past awards ceremonies, there were crazy fans in bleachers awaiting the red-carpet arrival of their favorite television star. They'd scream at the top of their lungs, deafening those closest to them and making it impossible for the media to hear the very actor or actress they are trying to interview. From a strictly business perspective, that was a welcome change.
Other than that, there was only one other glaring omission, which many considered more of a blessing. It had been announced earlier in the week that Joan and Melissa Rivers would not be doing the pre-show for E! Entertainment Television. (You see, every cloud does have a silver lining.) But truly, aside from the absence of the sharp-tongued comedian with the entertainment knowledge of a gnat and her daughter littering the carpet with mindless observations, things looked close to normal and like they were going on as scheduled.
No Word on Who Felt Uncomfortable
There were beautiful flower arrangements, the traditional red carpet, and hordes of media setting up their lines and cameras. Caterers were scurrying around with prepared meals to be served at the Unity Dinner, the renamed after-party celebration for the Governor's Ball. All seemed to be in order.
Then the decision came around 12:30 p.m. PT. There would be no Emmy Awards presented on Sunday, Oct. 7. There would be no fanfare, no winners, no losers, no nothing, except a news conference explaining the "postponement."
Bryce Zabel, chairman of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, CBS President Les Moonves and Emmys executive producer Don Mischer appeared about two hours later to explain the reasoning behind their unanimous decision.
Although they would not confirm which celebrities refused to attend, Mischer did say many felt uncomfortable about participating on a day when the United States had gone to war. Moonves added that accepting an award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series seemed trivial after what had transpired.
So we all went home with nothing to talk about. But it left me with a nagging feeling. (Actually I had a tag sticking me in the neck.) If we are supposed to be getting on with our lives, why aren't we getting on with our lives?
Celebrating in Troubled Times
I realize the severity of the situation in Afghanistan and its repercussions on the people of the United States, but even our president has pleaded with us to go on with our lives.
The Emmys have been a staple of the television industry for 53 years. This is the first time the ceremony has ever been canceled on the actual day it was to take place. Even the Oscars, after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968 and after Reagan's attempted assassination in 1981, went on … delayed a few days, but they carried on. During World War II, the Oscars were broadcast with Jimmy Stewart clad in an army uniform, but they went on. It's 2001 and we are obligated to do the same.

text: The Nexus 6 is rumoured to be a "lightweight" version of the upcoming LG G3 Stephen Yuen 5 March, 2014 5 Comments Already this year, we've heard multiple rumours that the LG G3 is already planned for a release in mid-2014, some placing it for release in May and some assuming it will come in June. Traditionally, LG's flagship devices, at least starting with the LG Optimus G, have served as the basis for the Nexus line of smartphones: the LG Optimus G became the Nexus 4, the LG G2 became the Nexus 5, and logic would say that a LG G3 would give credence to a possible Nexus 6 device. Today, Gizmodo.de has fanned the flames of this rumour by saying that the manufacturer of the Nexus 6 will be LG and that it will be more "lightweight". Seeing as the Nexus smartphones are generally made from slightly cheaper, lighter materials, it's not surprising to hear the suggestion that any new Nexus device would also be more "lightweight". As for specifications, assuming the Nexus 6 would possess the same internal hardware as the LG G3, it's expected that these devices will have a 2K resolution display, some kind of a 64-bit processor and a 16MP camera. With Google I/O happening in late June as well, these rumoured time-frames do open up the very real possibility that a new Nexus device will show up at Google's inaugural event. What do you think about these rumours about a Nexus 6, or even a LG G3? Let us know your opinion in the comments. Source: Gizmodo.de via Phone Arena FILA I seriously doubt Google will break the October/November release of the Nexus phone. And I dont know about Google using LG for a 3rd time. Stephen Yuen There's no precedent to say that they will or won't use LG again 😉 LG's rumoured to be making Google's smartwatch too FILA Yea but we just saw last week of a prototype Google watch made by Moto from last summer. Who really knows. They have deep secrets Stephen Yuen That's very true; I would have sworn tooth and nail that there was going to be a new Nexus 10 by now about 6 months ago, and clearly that was a lie. Always best to sit back and enjoy the show Pingback: AndroidSPIN | Nexus 6 Already Being Talked About?! All New HTC One Spotted...Again! - The ManDroid Show()

At night Koreatown is Manhattan-- packed restaurants, backed up valet stands, lines out the doors to even the diviest BBqs. By day, it's a different story. You might be the only customer. You'll see the families behind these family-run places. You'll see the servers plucking the stems off a haystack of sweet peas piled on a dining table. Or you'll see this: the daughter sitting alone in a place that by midnite wll be crammed full of hipsters. She'll be watching educational cartoons in English. Her immigrant parents will be peeling a pile of fishy-smelling brown roots, getting ready for the dinner rush. And the girl? She'll be going to medical school.
I took this picture when I had a lunch meeting at Yan Bian on 3rd and Western Friday afternoon. We were the only customers. We let the owner bring us three of her favoirte Korean-Chinese dishes, all of them spiked with pointy red chilis. My favorite things: Spicy chicken. Beef with mushrooms and chili. And this picture.

Kindermusik (with Colleen)Read MoreThe licensed educators at Kindermusik help enrich family relationships and bolster kiddies' mental development through interactive, music-focused play dates. Children from newborns to 7-year-olds can investigate the world of sound waves through age-specific sessions of sing-alongs, musical compositions, and sound barrier-breaking drum solos. ACE Music & Me sessions foster reading and language skills through dance and rhyme, and Village classes stimulate cognitive growth through musical activities. Guardians are encouraged to pick up a tambourine and belt out a note alongside their musical wards. After each pressure-free play date, Kindermusik instructors outfit each parent with a number of after-class activities suited to their child's developmental level and ability to impersonate Dick Clark.2701 West Sibley StreetPark Ridge, IL US
CATS Creating Arts Together with SongsRead MoreSinger-songwriter Tricia Sebastian specializes in bilingual children's music, crooning originals in both English and Spanish. Her songs have been heard in Quaker cereal commercials and on ABC's Ugly Betty, and the Chicago Tribune says the Corpus Christi native's "playful, robust soprano could spark a Tex-Mex campfire." But Tricia has another passion: music education. Since the mid-nineties, she's been a kids' instructor with Ravinia Festival's outreach arm and at the Old Town School of Folk Music. At CATS Creating Arts Together with Songs, Tricia takes classes into her own hands, folding fine arts curricula into academic pursuits. As an outreach program, CATS brings Tricia into schools along with her guitar, which she whittled from a singing, five-string tree. As a school of its own, CATS hosts classes, parties, and workshops. Tricia also connects students with tutors and consults with teachers to help them develop their own integrated arts programming.8746 N Shermer Rd.Niles, IL US
Chicago's #1 Drum LessonsRead MoreMike Semerau and the instructors at Chicago's #1 Drum Lessons have a trick up their sleeve. In addition to in-person tutelage, they provide professional pre-recorded take-home videos of proper drumming techniques for students to refer to while practicing. This kind of constant visualization and repetitive watching is what the instructors claim makes their students so successful as they drill new techniques such as double bass, ostinatos, and stick control. During lessons, teachers also cover subjects such as soloing, learning a student?s favorite song, creating original beats and fills, and teaching yourself. Chicago's #1 Drum Lessons has a play-along machine stacked with more than 1,000 songs, all of which have no drum track so that students can provide their own percussion and experience the sensation of playing and keeping time with other instruments.5000 St. Charles Rd.Bellwood, IL US
Terra SoundsRead MoreTerra Sounds School of Music & Arts doesn?t just look for book smarts when procuring its staff of expert instructors. The school of art and music places equal importance on backgrounds in stage performance, organizing art shows, and studying a foreign language. Here, instructors with a well-rounded approach to their subjects connect more easily with their students, introducing them to the Italian alphabet in a language class, helping them learn guitar chords during a music class, or instilling the proper way to make an origami swan out of a speeding ticket in an art class.924 Waukegan Rd.Glenview, IL US
School of Rock HighwoodRead MoreThe School of Rock provides contemporary musical instruction to pint-sized rockers of all ages and abilities. There is no experience required to enroll in Rock 101. Wannabe Jaggers and Springsteens can select their weapon of choice from a finely tuned arsenal of guitars, bass guitars, drums, keyboards, saxophones, or voice boxes and immediately commence beat-based training. Students receive one-on-one tutelage in the art of rocking out during a weekly 45-minute private lesson and deploy ensemble rhythms during a 90-minute group rehearsal. Real musicians provide performance-based instruction in a low-stress atmosphere, conducive to the cultivation of confidence, skill, and pigeon-free signature stage moves.1311 Sherman PlaceEvanston, IL US
North Shore AutomotiveRead MoreNorth Shore Guitar Academy specializes in private and group guitar, bass, piano and drum lessons. Our highly qualified staff of teachers will exceed your expectations. We offer beginning through advanced studies in Jazz, Country, Blues Rock and Metal -- all in a comfortable and nurturing environment.525 Green Bay RdWilmette, IL US

'Veronica Mars' Star Basks in CBS' 'Moonlight'
Dohring is the latest piece of recasting on the vampire private investigator drama, which has undergone some reimagining since "Angel" veteran David Greenwalt came on as showrunner.
Alex O'Loughlin still remains on board as the show's central blood-sucking gumshoe. That hasn't changed. His human love interest has gone from Shannon Lucio's intrepid TV reporter to Sophia Myles' dogged Internet reporter.
Dohring will step in for Rade Serbedzija as the ancient vampire Josef, the main character's mentor. Serbedzija is a 60-year-old Croatia-born actor most recently seen in "Shooter" and on this past season of "24." Dohring, of course, is a 25-year-old
That's what folks in the industry call "going a different direction." According to
Other credits for Dohring include episodes of "Boston Public," "Cold Case," "Judging Amy" and "The Division."

From the bestselling author of The Double Bind, Skeletons at the Feast, and Secrets of Eden, comes a riveting and dramatic ghost story.
In a dusty corner of a basement in a rambling Victorian house in northern New Hampshire, a door has long been sealed shut with 39 six-inch-long carriage bolts.
The home's new owners are Chip and Emily Linton and their twin ten-year-old daughters. Together they hope to rebuild their lives there after Chip, an airline pilot, has to ditch his 70-seat regional jet in Lake Champlain after double engine failure. Unlike the Miracle on the Hudson, however, most of the passengers aboard Flight 1611 die on impact or drown. The body count? Thirty-nine – a coincidence not lost on Chip when he discovers the number of bolts in that basement door. Meanwhile, Emily finds herself wondering about the women in this sparsely populated White Mountain village – self-proclaimed herbalists – and their interest in her fifth-grade daughters. Are the women mad? Or is it her husband, in the wake of the tragedy, whose grip on sanity has become desperately tenuous?
The result is a poignant and powerful ghost story with all the hallmarks readers have come to expect from bestselling novelist Chris Bohjalian: a palpable sense of place, an unerring sense of the demons that drive us, and characters we care about deeply.
The difference this time? Some of those characters are dead.
CHRIS BOHJALIAN is the critically acclaimed author of fourteen books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Double Bind, Secrets of Eden, and Skeletons at the Feast. His novel, Midwives, was a number one New York Times bestseller and a selection of Oprah's Book Club. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages and two of his novels have become movies (Midwives and Past the Bleachers). He lives in Vermont with his wife and daughter.

Normandie was called Bouquet And Lattice by early collectors. It was manufactured by the Federal Glass Company from 1933-1940. This pink iced tea tumbler stands about 5 1/4" tall and the pattern consists of lattice work with flowers. The tumbler does have some hazy streaks in the glass but is in very good condition free of any chips or cracks. One of the harder to find pieces to add to a collection.
A little bit of everything from depression glass, oil lamps and vintage kitchen.

4. The Returned - Series 1 (18)
It's to do with the stillness, the camera angles, the use of mirrors… and, of course, the mysterious, mute little boy. The Returned, set in an Alpine village, is terrifying: far subtler and scarier than any of the usual slashers regurgitated by US cinema of late.

"I just don't know where the numbers are coming from," he said.
Mahan said she was proud that the town was able to cut the deficit by 45 percent in such a short amount of time.
"This is a great day for us in Colonie," she said.
But she also said the work is not yet done and that the town will have to continue strategic cost savings measures to get the town completely out of the deficit.
She said she hopes the entire deficit will be paid off in the next five years under the 10-year strategic plan her administration introduced last year, which includes the sale of town assets and further attrition.
Mahan would not be specific about what town assets could be sold in the future.
As for layoffs, while she said they are always an unwanted possibility, Mahan said none is being planned for now.

The Three Musketeers
by Alexandre Dumas
John Felton
Character Analysis
The novel's depiction of John Felton is fairly accurate. Felton was a Puritan and a lieutenant in the English army who stabbed the Duke of Buckingham to death on August 23, 1628. In the novel, Felton's intense religious fanaticism is given a new direction as Milady spins a classic Gothic tale of horror for her jailer, who immediately repents of his role in persecuting her. Buckingham was not at all popular with the Puritans, and in the novel, Milady uses this fact to her advantage.
Historically, the real John Felton stabbed the Duke for two reasons. First of all, he believed that he was doing England a favor by getting rid of such an unpopular man. Secondly he was enraged by the fact that he had been denied a promotion. In the novel, Felton gives this second reason when questioned about his motives by Lord de Winter, but we are meant to understand that the evil Milady was behind the whole affair. More than anyone else, the character of John Felton illustrates Dumas's skillful blend of fact and fiction.

[QUOTE=StoneNYC;1425014]No but speaking of geocaching, is there a geophotocaching? Like where you leave a photo or slide or 120 frame and someone comes and trades it with theirs and so on? That could be neat
Well, some geocachers when they hide their cache, leave a disposable film camera in it. That way, when other cachers find it, they take a picture of their group and put it back in the cache. Months later, the original hider, returns to get the camera and has a record of all the finders which he can post on the geocaching site for that cache.

Looking to make a new circle of friends or possibly more with one of similar likes and interests.Iff I wink at you its because Im not currently an official member. Hope you read my whole profile so you can reach me directly directly at PINNACLEPROD at a.o.l. you know the rest. I've had 3 LTRS over the years and ready to take the plunge again (if that's what's in the cards – if not that's ok too). Not into the bar scene and enjoy just hanging out at coffeehouses and having good intelligent conversation. Working out is a big part of my life and social circle too. I enjoy meeting people and am also a great listener. I appreciate and respect people that also have and live their own life. I love people that have their own thoughts and differing opinions, while also respecting my ideas. Hey if I wanted to be with me 24/7, I would just have myself cloned. Love going out and enjoying summer activities especially outdoor cafes, hiking and blading. More of a beach bum kind of guy. Love just hanging at the beach all day in the OC (that's Orange County California –Newport Huntington Beach favorite spots). I would be content just working at a hot dog stand so I could be on the Pacific coast beach all day (one of my lofty goals). I can also be a homebody and enjoy just staying home and watching an old movie (love TCM, film noir and pre code). Love cooking and BBQing too. Also a big music lover - can't imagine life without it. Love all kinds, except hard rock and rap, although not to big on showtunes - so take away my gay card. Love Streisand though 1970s-81 (give me the card back). More into the personal clicking and connection thing than endless emails and texting (plus Im a crappy clumsy typist – don't people talk to each other anymore?). I have been very lucky and consider myself blessed with many various careers over the years – I have loved all of my jobs. ( a long time career in various government positions and now self-employed in public relations entertainment). Not as much driven by material objects or impressed by $$$ as I was when I was younger. I guess when you hit 50 you realize there are more important things in life (especially things you cant take with you to the next life). So my goal is to enjoy each day and be nice to the people that come across my daily path. If I find someone to share that path with great if not that's ok too (but its more fun). And as the old soothsayer Barry Manilow says...ready to take a chance again.

Abuja — The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) may suspend the current strike today.
This is sequel to the meeting that the NMA executives and other stakeholders held in Abuja, Sunday.
The meeting which started on Sunday morning could not resolve the issues involved in the strike till the late hours of the night.
The NMA earlier invited the press to hold a briefing to announce the suspension of the strike at 3 p.m. but the briefing could not hold due to lack of harmony on some salient issues among the delegates at the meeting.
At few minutes to 5 p.m. an official of the NMA came to apologise to anxious journalists that the briefing had been rescheduled, saying: "We will get to you in the next 48 hours."
Those in attendance at the meeting included members of the board of trustees of the NMA, previous chairmen of the association and current national officers of the association.
Those present include Osahon Enabulele, Professor Akingugbe, Haliru Yahaya, Professor Gyo and many others.
A source at the meeting told Daily Independent that the aim of the meeting was to get the consent of all the stakeholders in the association so as to suspend the strike.

DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Tigers have finalized their 26 million, two-year deal with outfielder Torii Hunter. Hunter hit a career-best .313 last season for the Los Angeles Angels with 16 home runs and 92 RBIs. Acquiring a corner outfielder was a major offseason priority for Detroit, and Hunter won nine consecutive Gold Gloves from 2001-09 before gradually switching from center field to right. General manager Dave Dombrowski says in a statement that Hunter will be a "tremendous addition to the Tigers' organization both on and off the field." Detroit is chasing its first World Series title since 1984. The Tigers won the AL pennant last season but were swept by San Francisco in the World Series.

An Anime and Manga movie directed by Satoshi Kon
Thoroughly modern in its story, its characters, its urban Tokyo setting, its absurdly funny action sequences, and its understated and ironic self-mockery, TOKYO GODFATHERS is an anime gem from director Satoshi Kon (MILLENNIUM ACTRESS). It is a snowy … see full wiki
As a former film student, I have a great respect for Japanese anime. But I've never particularly enjoyed it. I've seen Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Grave of the Fireflies, Area 88, and some others and I just couldn't get into them. The same goes for Japanese video games. Perhaps it's the ambiguously feminine looking male heroes or the young school girl who's skirt is just a little too short and sexy for her age. Perhaps it's the surreal science fiction plots. Whatever the reason, I've never been able to connect and am often a little creeped out.
That is, until I saw Tokyo Godfathers.
The story takes place in modern-day Tokyo during the Christmas season. Our anti-heroes are 3 homeless people who live together and have formed a makeshift family of sorts, warts and all. Gin is a middle-aged alcoholic with an angry past. Hana is a cross-dressing man who takes on the female role of the group. Miyuki is a troubled teen with a dark past. She is spunky, mouthy and really angry with the world. The three of them form a a sort of odd triplet who are constantly at each others' throats, but not because they dislike each other, but because they have no one else to take out the frustrations of their past and current situations on. As we learn later, they are filled with love for each other and will go to great lengths to help and support one another.
When a baby is abandoned and found by the motley crew, they take in the child and hilarity and heartbreak ensues. As they try to find the owners of the child, they run across all kinds of strange and interesting characters. They meet with people who want to hurt them and others who want to help. As their journey progresses, strange miracles begin to happen which could be amazing coincidences or something so much more in the magical season of Christmas....
As the story progresses, we learn through flashbacks, the secret of each of the characters. How they became homeless through loss of fortune, bad decisions, and terrible mistakes. We get a true feel for the plight of these characters just as they are starting to feel the true meaning of life as they finally have a purpose: save the child. This journey is multi-facted as they each deal with their pasts, come to grips with life and provide their own redemption.
This is certainly not the most original story. The story of redemption through helping others is as old as Greek Mythology. Heck, it's part of Joseph Campbell's notion of the rise of the reluctant hero. But the originality is not what's important. It's the execution and end result. This film works on many levels. The writing is spot-on especially the dialog and banter. I wouldn't describe it as "western" so much as it is a kind of screwball comedy that transcends cultural lines. Lots of slapstick, irony and deadpan facial expressions that bring life and interest to an otherwise depressing scenario. To say the film is a comedy doesn't do it justice. It's a bittersweet tale of the utmost seriousness, peppered with moments of necessary comic relief.
One of the stylings of anime is a slow shutter speed. In other words, there is actually less animation. Instead of the fluidity of top tier Disney animation, anime uses less fluid animation and it often feels choppy. This style wasn't annoying to me this time as it often is in other films. It felt more fluid and some of the detail was amazing. Little things like flowing hair or the movement of clothing in the wind was impeccably drawn and animated. The city of Tokyo was wonderfully drawn and had a certain life of its own. But that life was intentionally distant. The audience never connected with the city or the people in it, because the main characters were disconnected. Tokyo wasn't their loving home. It was a distant adversary, impossible to love, impossible to avoid.
It should be noted that English dubbing is not available on this DVD. In my eyes, that's a good thing. Pay attention and read the movie. Enjoy the performances as they were meant to be heard, not by some two-bit American voice actor collecting a paycheck.
DVD extras
The extras on the DVD are sparse, but interesting. There is a decent feature about the making and premiere of the film. Apparently, the voice actors are famous Japanese actors who I've never heard of. They are given the royalty treatment in this documentary and treated as celebrities of the highest order. They are arrogant, yet friendly and give a few insights into the making of the film and how being a voice-actor differs from more traditional acting roles.
We are also treated to some deleted scenes, but they don't add much to the story or give us any more enlightenment into the characters. Instead they would have slowed the pacing or distracted from the main story. As I usually say, there's a reason deleted scenes are deleted.
Also included are some trailer for Japanese anime films that I haven't seen. Some of them I added to my Netflix queue as a result of seeing them here.
This film is heartbreaking, funny, and full of redemption and hope. I strongly recommend it to people who have a hard time with traditional anime.

I agree with everything here. Tony is the whipping boy, and apparently it doesn't matter which women are on the show. It wasn't about glorifying Ziva. It's always been about glorifying Gibbs.
agreed! honestly ... I thought Pendergast was a witch with a capital B. I
That's very understandable. Yes I do love Ziva! I'm sure you can deal with that. I'm also a huge Tony fan, and I love smart AGENT Tony. Can't stand clownish, frat boy, clicker holding, emasculated, stupid Tony. I disagree about Tony's emasculation with Ziva, and that's fine. I believe Kate was FAR nastier and degrading to Tony than Ziva ever was. and I believe Pendergast is in the same nasty vein as Kate. Apparently Glasberg decided that Tony likes girls who are nasty to him.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - NOVEMBER 14: Head coach Jason Garrett of the Dallas Cowboys works with his team as they warm up prior to playing against the New York Giants on November 14, 2010 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
Although Jason Garrett avoided the Black Monday axe, the Cowboys coach won't have the same responsibilities on his plate going forward. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport confirmed that Garrett's job is safe, but Dallas plans to hire an offensive coordinator. "The Cowboys intend to keep Jason Garrett, I have not heard this morning that that has changed," Rapoport told "Around the League" on Monday. "A better possibility is that the Cowboys could hire an offensive coordinator to call plays for Jason Garrett and allow him to be a walk-around coach and essentially just be the leader of men that they think he can be." Garrett presumably has the support of owner Jerry Jones, whose team missed the playoffs after losing a heartbreaker to the Redskins Sunday night. Jones, surprisingly, is bypassing a knee-jerk move; giving Garrett another year is the right decision. He kept the Cowboys in contention all season despite the injury bug ravaging his club and an extremely challenging schedule ...

But using a completely irrelevant statistical group of our combine 60,000 miles that's still an average of 30,000 miles without incident and a filter kit is less than half the price of this module?
I wouldn't buy insurance against meteor strike because whilst a possibility its extremely unlikely, given a large proportion of failures get reported on this forum I wonder how many there actually are verses number of bikes that are out there.
I mean if it makes someone happy to have one, then I'm not going to hate on them for spending their money as they wish, but I don't imagine your example is typical unless you really have third world fuel in the States.
FWIW the respected independent BMW mech I used on one of my road bikes said not to even consider reverse flushing the fuel filter when my f800s played up, he said in his experience over any number of bikes with an issue just using a proprietary cleaner through a half dozen or so tanks did the trick, or the problem was something else.
In saying that he did himself out of paying work (but assured himself of my future business) and you know what he was right, the issue wasn't the filter!

The Pittsburgh Steelers offseason has started and it is that time of year unfortunately to start breaking down and analyzing the free agents as we head towards the start of free agency. We will knock out a few of these a week and will start with the unrestricted free agents first before moving to the restricted and exclusive rights free agents.

Ipswich Belvedere
closed between 1923 and roughly 1930

Possibly backing onto the old Tollemache brewery site. In 2008 the only remaining evidence of the pub was the gatepost on left hand side of picture adjacent to Congregational churchyard wall.
Although there have been reports that the pub closed in 1907, it's still recorded in the Borough Police licensed premises register 1903-1923. The pub's entry in the 1910 Ipswich Rates book is annotated "Late Belvedere - new site General Gordon", so taking the police book into account it seems it must have closed between 1923 and roughly 1930 (the exact length of time the Rates book was used isn't known, but it seems to be until about then).

Micah Bournes: Alive, Ill and Not the Future
Spoken-word artist Micah Bournes only released his third solo album Alive & Ill on June 25th because of a disease.
Bournes, a student at Moody Bible Institute, had mapped out his future in pen. After graduation, he would fight for international justice as a Peace Corps volunteer. But his health intruded.
"Whatever," Bournes thought as he looked down at blood in the toilet. "I must have eaten something funny."
What he perceived as one poorly prepared meal turned into a week's worth. Using the toilet became synonymous with pain, but he remained confident that he could shake off whatever bug had bitten him. Besides, he had always been athletic.
Only after a month of suffering did the Los Angeles native fly home for a colonoscopy.
Doctors diagnosed him with ulcerative colitis—an incurable immune disease that, if untreated, causes internal bleeding in the large intestine. Bournes' condition required advanced treatment and multiple surgeries, dashing his dreams and sending him back to the drawing board.
He rushed to pen a new game plan, graduate school. Oxford, NYU, Northwestern and more rejected his application, closing yet another door.
Ulcerative colitis limited Bournes' future, but it forced him to live in the present. He stopped mapping out what he would do and just did what he could do.
"I realized that God is not going to be impressed with what I had on my life's to-do list," he said.

PHOENIX (AP) — Jodi Arias' defense attorney worked Wednesday to undo any damage to the credibility of an expert witness who diagnosed the defendant with post-traumatic stress disorder and amnesia after a withering cross-examination that called into question his techniques and testing procedures.
Psychologist Richard Samuels testified for a fourth day Wednesday after telling jurors he diagnosed Arias with PTSD and dissociative amnesia, which explains why she can't remember much from the day she killed her lover. Samuels said he met with Arias a dozen times for more than 30 hours over three years while she was jailed.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez previously seized on multiple lies Arias told Samuels throughout the process of his evaluation, at one point getting the psychologist to acknowledge that he should have re-administered at least one test he used to come to his PTSD diagnosis. Martinez questioned how Samuels could have come to any definitive conclusion for a diagnosis based upon Arias' lies.
Samuels insisted his diagnosis was accurate.
"The process of forming a diagnosis is not a simple process," Samuels testified Wednesday. "The fact is that it's necessary to obtain information from as many different sources as you can."
Arias faces a possible death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 killing of Travis Alexander in his suburban Phoenix home. Authorities say she planned the attack in a jealous rage. Arias initially told authorities she had nothing to do with it then blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense.
Defense attorney Jennifer Willmott spent much of Wednesday questioning Samuels about his testing procedures. When Samuels initially began his evaluation of Arias, she was sticking to the intruder story.
Willmott went over each question and Arias' answers with Samuels.
"Did she think her life was in danger?" Willmott asked.
"Yes," Samuels replied.
"Did she feel helpless?" Willmott asked.
"Yes," Samuels said, explaining later that his diagnosis would have remained unchanged whether Arias was responding to the questions still telling the intruder story or claiming self-defense.
"If the answers remained yes before and yes after, would it have changed the score at all?" Willmott asked.
"No," Samuels said.
He said Arias also answered "no" to a question about whether she was having nightmares.

NFL Upset Pick of the Week 5
- Updated: October 7, 2011
Atlanta Falcons Get Revenge in the Upset of the Week in the NFL – Sponsored by BetDSI the leader in online sportsbooking.
Picking upsets in the NFL is never easy, yet week after week the upsets keep piling in. Who would have thought the Philadelphia Eagles would have been upset in week four against the San Francisco 49ers? Not many, but when you find an upset special it could be very rewarding and cash in with a big payday.
This week the upset will make big headlines because it will be on Sunday night football and it will be against one of the best teams in the National Football League. The upset of the week for week five will happen when the Atlanta Falcons take down the Green Bay Packers.
The Green Bay Packers are defending champions and have looked really great all season. Last week they dismantled the Denver Broncos and Aaron Rodgers put up one of the best games in his career and in NFL history. This has the Packer fans exciting about making another run at the Super bowl.
Meanwhile the Atlanta Falcons have struggled this season and barely beat the lowly Seattle Seahawks a week ago. So why will they pull off the upset? The Falcons are a much better team on the turf under the dome. The home faithful will back them up on a nationally televised game and Matt Ryan is nearly unbeatable at home.
The sports betting trends in this game heavily favor the Falcons. The Falcons are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog, and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a loss against the spread.
The Packers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 meetings and the underdog is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings. The Falcons have revenge on their mind after they were demolished last year in the playoffs at home. That game is fresh in the minds of Falcons players. The Packers have struggled against passing teams, like the Saints in week one.
The Falcons will not only cash with the point spread, but they could win on the field.

I'm 34 wks 3 days and I feel like my baby is ready to come soon. I'm due 12/14 but lately my back pains have gotten 10 tens worse, I get terrible pelvic sometimes shooting pains, and don't Even let me get started on when I attempt to get out of bed or when I'm sitting down. It's an epic fail. When I try to get up it's like my whole body locks up and I can't move and the pelvic pains get worse. I can't imagine how much worse I will get in another month. I struggle to walk and I'm not even that big yet considering I'm 8 months. Is anyone feeling like this? Sometimes it seems like She's ready to come out soon, although I'm praying She's born full term.
Is It Just Me...??

She said you can get em at motherhood maternity store and I am trying to find put some other places. I have been in such intense back pain that I can't stand, sit, or lay down without the pain. But if it pursues, I have to see a physical therapist......yay! *sarcasm*

Ole Miss football team solid at kicker, punter
Campbell, Rose among SEC's best
OXFORD, Miss. — First-year Ole Miss football coach Hugh Freeze is asked daily about his quarterbacks.
And he's quizzed about injuries, the number of true freshman he's going to play, his depth at tight end, his linebackers. The list goes on and on.
But until Tuesday morning, nobody had inquired about his starting punter and place-kicker.
"I don't even have any questions about them," Freeze said. "That's one place I hope we're pretty solid."
Solid? Try set in stone.
Senior punter Tyler Campbell, the NCAA's leading punter two years ago, and senior place-kicker Bryson Rose, who has missed just four field goals in his career, have a combined 61 college starts. Campbell's career punting average of 44.6 yards ranks second in school history. Rose's 86.2 field goal percentage (25-of-29) is the best ever at Ole Miss.
But considering the Rebels' offense doesn't have the depth or talent yet to play Freeze's no-huddle offense, the pressure is on Campbell to flip the field and Rose to cash in field goals.
"It's pressure, but at the same time it motivates both of us," Campbell said. "We want to help the team in any way we can."
In 2010 as a sophomore, Campbell averaged a college football-leading 46.37 yards per kick, with 19 punts of more than 50 yards and five punts of more than 60 yards. Last year, Campbell's average dropped to 43.6, because he was ordered by then-Rebs assistant James Shibest to occasionally punt rugby-style with a running start.
"Rolling out and kicking the ball against my body really messed up my fundamentals," said Campbell, who had never rugby punted until last season. "It's a totally different leg swing. I just had to learn from my own mistakes in practice.
"My biggest challenge was not kicking it too low. Against Louisiana Tech, I kicked it off someone's helmet."
Campbell's days of rugby punting might be done. So far in preseason, he's just been able to take the snap and let it rip.
"I expressed (to the coaches) I just want to conventional punt this year, and so far they're on the same page as me," Campbell said. "I'm up to 230 pounds and I'm just keeping my leg fresh."
So is Rose, who said he's kicking a maximum of 20 field goals every practice. He concentrates on the consistency and form that has made him almost automatic the last two seasons as a starter.
"My freshman year, I'd come out here and kick 50, 70 balls per day, because I thought I had to impress somebody," Rose said. "All I did was wear out my leg. My body was really aching. The last couple of years, I don't kick more than 20 balls. I just do it by feel."
Rose's biggest challenge has been patience. Last season, the Ole Miss offense was so bad that Rose attempted just 11 field goals (making nine). His two misses were against Louisiana Tech, snapping a streak of 17 consecutive made field goals dating back to 2010, a string that ended one short of the SEC record of 18 set by Tennessee's Fuad Reveiz in 1984.
"The main thing is staying confident and it helps that I have a great holder and snapper," said Rose, whose perfect tempo on his kicks mirrors his golf swing that produces scores in the mid-70s. "So when I go out there for a field goal, I just don't think about anything but the consistent swing. You just let your body take over for you."
It's likely the kickoff duty will fall to Rose or true freshman Nathan Noble of Greenville, Miss. Freeze wants to redshirt senior Andrew Ritter, who has kicked off for the last three seasons, averaging 65.3 yards per kickoff with 36 touchbacks.
"Andrew is open to the idea and we'll discuss it with his parents," Freeze said. "I like having a senior placekicker and that's what he'll be for us next season."

Ah, now this looks to be a theater that appears to be doing everything right! And designed by William Harold Lee at that no less!
An old photo showing how its front exterior looked in 1940 can be seen at this link: View link
And a newer one, showing the same exact view in more recent times, can be seen here: View link
And this to me is a perfect example of a neighborhood cinema at its finest. Every neighborhood should have one, to which I ask why not?
