Longtime civil rights attorney Connie Rice has been following this week's indictments against officers in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. She says it points to a subculture of corruption within certain units, much like the city's scandal-ridden police department of the 1990s.
In the main downtown jails, sheriff's officers are accused of beating and choking inmates without provocation, harassing visitors and then covering it all up.

John Morse was president of the Colorado Senate until September, when he became the first elected official recalled in the state's history.
Three months later, he's climbing the rotunda steps of the gold-domed Capitol building — his office for seven years. He hasn't been here since October. Gazing up at the dome, he says, "This is one of my favorite things to do. That's my version of smelling the roses."
Morse's political career ended over the gun bills he pushed through these chambers eight months ago. But he says he would do it all again.

And here in Los Angeles this morning, 18 current and former deputy sheriffs are facing federal charges. They're accused of corruption and abusing inmates being held in the largest jail system in the country.
NPR's Kirk Siegler reports.
KIRK SIEGLER, BYLINE: Federal authorities are accusing the L.A. sheriff's deputies of a pattern of excessive force and civil rights violations inside L.A. County's main downtown jails.

In Los Angeles today, federal prosecutors announced charges of corruption and civil rights abuses inside the nation's largest jail system. The indictments came against 18 current and former deputies of the LA Sheriff's Department. NPR's Kirk Siegler has details from outside the federal building in downtown Los Angeles.

The oil boom in the United States is creating another boom — for the railroad industry.
So far this year, in North Dakota alone, 140 million barrels of oil have left on trains. Shipments of crude oil by rail are up almost 50 percent over last year — and this upward trend is expected to continue.
A visit to the world-famous Tehachapi Loop, part of a winding mountain pass in Southern California, demonstrates the scale and reach of the oil boom in the middle of the country. As a train full of oil tanker cars rumbles past, it's hard not to think of it as a pipeline on wheels.
Many Filipinos living in the United States are frantically trying to get in touch with loved ones in some of the areas hardest hit by the typhoon. California, with about a million Filipino immigrants, is the center for a large fundraising effort.
Los Angeles is home to one of the largest concentrations of Filipino immigrants in the U.S. Many across this city are glued to the local Asian TV stations' nightly news broadcasts. Some are turning their worry and stress into action, pounding the pavement to raise money for typhoon victims.

Airports around the country will hold a moment of silence this morning to honor Gerardo Hernandez. He was the TSA officer killed a week ago today at Los Angeles International Airport. That shooting is renewing debate over airport security and the role of the TSA. NPR's Kirk Siegler reports.
KIRK SIEGLER, BYLINE: Security at major airports is a web of moving parts, and a tangle of bureaucracies and jurisdictions.

Aja Brown made history this past summer when she became the youngest mayor in the history of Compton, Calif. There is a lot of buzz there around the charismatic 31-year-old.
The city of about 100,000 people just south of Los Angeles has long struggled with gangs and street violence. But it wasn't always that way. Compton flourished in the '50s and '60s, when its factory jobs were a beacon for African-Americans fleeing the South.

A lone gunman opened fire Friday at Los Angeles International Airport, police say. Police fired on the alleged shooter, who is now in police custody. The attack left one TSA officer dead and at least seven people needing medical treatment (including the shooter), officials said. The shooting forced the evacuation of a terminal and more than 45 flights into and out of LAX have been cancelled.

In flood-ravaged Colorado, much of the recovery has focused on rebuilding roads and bridges to mountain towns cut off by last month's floods. But take a drive east to the state's rolling plains, and a whole new set of staggering problems unfolds in farm country.

Any day now, Fresno plans to raze a large homeless encampment that's grown up near downtown. The poor, farm-dependent city in California's Central Valley has one of the highest per capita homeless populations in the country.
In recent weeks, city officials there have dismantled three other sprawling shantytowns. The moves have displaced hundreds of people and sparked controversy.
Underneath Highway 180
Fresno is one of the poorest places in America. One in 4 people here live below the poverty line, and the recession only made things worse.

The massive Rim Fire in Yosemite National Park is nearly contained. The fire burned more than 300 square miles in and around the park. One of the crews doing the last bit of work is the Geronimo Hotshots from the San Carlos Apache reservation in Arizona. You may remember them from last week. We met them just as they headed off to Yosemite. NPR's Kirk Siegler caught up with one member of the crew yesterday on the eastern flank of the Rim Fire.

And on a reservation in Arizona, there's a tiny radio station marking its first year on the air. KYAY is owned by the San Carlos Apache Tribe and it's become a window into this isolated reservation, offering news and entertainment. NPR's Kirk Siegler has been listening.

One of the firefighting teams trying to contain the Rim Fire in and around Yosemite National Park is the Geronimo Hotshots team from San Carlos, Ariz., one of seven elite Native American firefighting crews in the U.S.
On the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, firefighting jobs are one of only a few ways for many young men to earn a living. For team member Jose Alvarez Santi Jr., 25, the work is rewarding — but being away from home fighting fires can be tough.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca — who oversees the largest municipal jail system in the country — is facing growing pressure to bow out of the race for what could be his fifth term.
There's a lot that's been piling up against Sheriff Baca lately. At the top of the list is an FBI probe into what's been described as a systemic pattern of unnecessary force against inmates in county jails.

Immigrant and farm worker rights groups came from Los Angeles to Bakersfield, Calif., by the busload this week. Bakersfield, in the state's Central Valley, is farm country, and immigration is a complex issue here.
The groups were converging on the home of the third-most powerful Republican in the House, Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy.
Activists across the country are targeting a number of Republican members of Congress this summer, trying to pressure the House to take up the immigration reform bill passed in the Senate.

The fierce debate over immigration played out in earnest in Bakersfield, Calif., on Wednesday. Immigration overhaul supporters are pressuring Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy to join them. While the House majority whip agrees the immigration system needs to change, he is unwilling to support the bill that passed the Senate.

In an open-aired Jeep, it's a bone-jarring ride into Santa Catalina Island's vast interior. The dirt road winds and climbs, twists and turns, climbing 2,000 feet up.
From there, the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean comes back into view, and if you squint, you can see downtown Los Angeles 30 miles off on the horizon.
Some days, you can also see wild bison.

Northern California's Salinas Valley is often dubbed America's salad bowl. Large growers there have long relied on thousands of seasonal workers from rural Mexico to pick lettuce, spinach and celery from sunrise to sunset. Many of these workers seem destined for a life in the fields. But a program that helps field workers, like Raul Murillo, start their own farms and businesses is starting to yield a few success stories.

On most weeknights, in the middle of his shift, Los Angeles police officer Keith Mott trades his gun and uniform for a T-shirt and shorts, and heads to a park in the Watts neighborhood of South Los Angeles. He's there to coach 7- and 8-year-old boys on the Pop Warner Pee Wee football team, the Watts Bears.
The kids come from three nearby housing projects: Jordan Downs, Nickerson Gardens and Imperial Courts. The park was carefully chosen. It's a neutral site for local gangs. Otherwise, most of the Bears' parents wouldn't allow them to come and play.

It's no secret that Death Valley, Calif., is one of the hottest, most unforgiving places on Earth come summertime. July 10 is the 100th anniversary of the hottest temperature ever recorded on the planet — 134 degrees Fahrenheit — and the heat is drawing tourists from all over the world to Death Valley.
Like Terminal 5 at London Heathrow Airport, Death Valley becomes a melting pot of foreign accents. On a recent afternoon, Belgian tourist Yan Klassens admires the view of the Badlands from Zabriskie Point, describing it as "nice, awesome and colorful."

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Robert Siegel. In Arizona, shock is giving way to sadness and deep appreciation for the 19 firefighters killed battling the Yarnell Hill wildfire on Sunday. A candlelight vigil is being held this evening in the city of Prescott, home of the Granite Mountain Hotshots. All of the firefighters killed were part of that unit. Karen Takai is with the Southwest Incident Management team, the federal unit now in charge.
Colorado is often the site of devastating forest fires, but the city of Colorado Springs has been hit particularly hard as of late. In the span of just one year, more than 800 homes have been destroyed from wildfires in and around the city. This time last year, it was the Waldo Canyon fire, and now it's the Black Forest fire. NPR's Kirk Siegler spent the week in Colorado Springs and sent this report.

Operator-valued free Fisher information and modular frames
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We introduce the operator-valued free Fisher information for a random variable in an operator-valued noncommutative probability space and point out its relations to the amalgamated freeness. Using M. Frank and D. Larson's modular frame notion we can construct the conjugate variable for an operator-valued semicircle variable with conditional expectation covariance. Then we obtain its free Fisher information and show it is equal to the index of the conditional expectation. At last the conjugate variable with respect to a modular frame operator for a semicircle variable is also constructed.

A new film is about to be released! CAFÉ D´AMOUR is a pixilated slapstick comedy by Benedikt Toniolo, but there are real actors that shape the story about love and a magic cafe place. The amazing studio set was built by Sandra Gradmann.
Coming early 2015. I'm looking forward to seeing the film.
A new Making Of video from B. is online! Watch the film and have a look at what we did and how we worked on the film set of B./Own Drum.
PRETTY UGLY l SCHÖN KANN JEDER What is beautiful? What is ugly? PRETTY UGLY is trying to answer these questions by following Del Keens, the ugliest model of the world, who humorously leads us through the cosmos of imperfectness. It may seem like a cliché to ask the timeless question of what constitutes beauty; nevertheless it has to be asked. Do Del and his friends form the latest trend to more authenticity and are they to be taken seriously – or are they just a freak show? Harmless fools in the kingdom of Botox? Either way, it ́s encouraging, liberating and cheering to see how they give the plastic world of Heidi Klum & Co. the finger.

Hello, my LO Raelyn is 6months and 2weeks. For the last couple of days she's been waking up around 4am to 5am crying for no reason. the last two days it's been happenign earlier. the first day it started at 4 am and it lasted about an hour. and yesterday it started at 11pm and it lasted until 4am until she finally went to sleep only to wake up at 7am, her normal wake up time. now she got her shots on the 1st, and we've been feeding her more jar foods, could either of those contribute to what i believe is colic?
Colic at 6 months?
Wife of a soldier 5/5/11
Raelyn Charlotte-Rose 5/26/10
Adrienne Jeannette 1/2/13
FTM 5/7/2010.� Gold Boobies (BF and EP).� Working FT.� Totally in love with my rascal.
Have you fed her anything new recently? Is she having a reaction to something?
Teething? Or ear infection like PP said?
Sarah (28)
Violet Elizabeth 5/14/10
My daughter has had a few rough nights lately due to digestive issues from adding solids to her diet. It could be her having trouble adjusting to a new food that you introduced.
I also think that within a week of the shots, those could mess with her sleeping pattern.
Did you try tylenol? If it was teething, ear, or shots pain that should have helped at least a bit. I would maybe review what food you recently introduced to see if that is a possibility.
SAHHM to Aubrey7/29/07,Evie 5/1/10, and Graham 4/4/13
I would think shots are a definite possibility. My LO was super fussy for days (and days) after he has gotten his shots. Crying at every nap time and at bed time - waking up in the middle of the night crying and up for an hour(s). I tried Tylenol for the first couple days but didn't seem to make much of a difference for us, he wasn't running a fever. It just took some time and he got back to normal. Sorry for no real advice - but I know what you are going through :(
DS 5/18/10 DD due 7/12/15
Could be any of the above. Based on what I've observed with DD, it sounds like teething. These were the symptoms she displayed starting on Thanksgiving night...I can now feel a tooth about to pop through.
Married since 11/01/08
FTM to Elizabeth 'Ellie' Grace - 05/11/10 6 lbs 19 in
I am with you PP my LO has slept 7-7 for about 3 months and started waking up at 4 ON THE DOT for several nights and I stuck my finger in her mouth and found the culprit. She went back to normal once that tooth broke the skin.
Scarlet Hinton ~ 5/3/2010
Anne McCary (Annie) ~ 5/9/2014
My LO has been the same - arching back, crying all day throughout the day, fussy, terribly gassy - much like before I discovered she was MSPI. I read how rice cereal can be difficult for MSPI babies to digest, and I had just upped her cereal intake to 2x a day plus 1 veggie. Today - no cereal, and although she was still somewhat fussy and in obvious pain, it was NOTHING like the past few weeks. AND I managed a couple of smiles out of her today!
Just my experience.
So grateful to be a Mommy :) On May 10th, 2010, my heart and hands became full!
Bluettes Just so you know my baby is mspi and my ped gi said only to use beechnut cereals and baby food since they are the only ones truly dairy/soy free. Gerber is the worst since it is contaminated with dairy/soy.
Some of you ladies sound like your lo may have reflux, especially bluettes. Check out the link in my siggy about reflux.
Sorry don't mean to hijack your thread but thank you ladies for the advice and input!!
MommietoJoey, I tried Earth's Best organic whole grain rice cereal, the label didn't say it contained wheat or soy, but I've read on here that it contains soy...much like I didn't know Zantac was 7.5% alcohol until last night
Oh yes, RefluxMommee - she's been diagnosed with reflux :( I am going to look at your link - thank you very very much!!
So grateful to be a Mommy :) On May 10th, 2010, my heart and hands became full!

I purchased this sharpener last September and for the most part, I really like it. It's heavy duty, has the perfect amount of options and sharpens well. At one point, something happened and it stopped sharpening properly. However, I contacted Swingline to troubleshoot. When we couldn't find/fix the problem, they promptly replaced my product with no hassles. My new sharpener works perfectly yet again and I was very impressed with the service.

I purchased this pencil sharpener for our office a little over a year ago. It is used quite heavily by the office staff. I found that it gets jammed a lot by small pieces of lead that breaks off of the pencils being sharpened. I have to blow the lead out for it to continue working. My faculty use it to sharpen several pencils at a time, particularly before giving a test to ensure students have pencils for scantron sheets. It now seems to get tired after sharpening a few pencils. It will sharpen a few then it just seems to get tired and need to rest awhile before doing any more. It's very frustrating to my faculty. I purchased this item because of my past history with Swingline and the fact that they honor their warranties and stand behind their products. I will be contacting Swingline regarding this issue and I'm sure I will be satisfied with their service once again. Swingline although they are not perfect strive to make it perfect for the customer. I will continue to use Swingline and their products.

Comments about Swingline Electric Desktop Sharpener, Gray/Orange:
I bought this sharpener for school use, and I was really excited to receive this product. I opened it and sharpened 16 pencils on it and it did great. Then after a week I started using it everyday , and that's when it started showing how fragile it is. After sharpening 15 pencils it quit then I waited a hour , and then it only sharpened 5 pencils and quit. This is not the WORK HORSE pencil sharpener I thought it would be. Has a great design but way too expensive for what you get. I am very disappointed in this product's quality.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great results and fit different pencil sizes
By Samsudin
from Santa Clara, CA
We have been using Swingline Pencil sharpener in the past and love it. We decided to purchase something more versatile for different pencil sizes and bought the Swingline Optima. We are happy with the results which is very smooth sharp point, fast sharpening and importantly, fit various pencil sizes.

South Bay Community Services, a nonprofit, operates preschool program, guides former foster youth
"It broke me in a lot of ways," he said. "I was at a dark point in my life, but spending two nights in the cold and not getting sleep for two days got me back to reality and what was important."
Both have been in more than 10 foster homes.
"When I think back I feel anger and sadness," Brewton said. "If I found myself in a position where I didn't want to be there, I would try to find a better one."
Brewton lives at Trolley Trestle and is in the process of moving into another program that helps pay rent and allows more independence.
"They actually care about the residents that come in," he said. "My case manager is the best I've ever had because she goes above and beyond."
Today, both volunteer at South Bay Community Services.
"I've always wanted to give back, because as horrific as some of the stories are about being in the foster care system, I could be in a much worse place now," Hill said. "In my heart I feel like I have to pay it forward. I feel it's important for personal growth."
Brewton said his growth made it possible to give back.
"I feel comfortable where I'm at with where I've been and where I'm at now," he said. "I want to share story and inspire a lot more former foster kids to go after their goals and dreams. You're not limited by your past, you can look to yourself."
Aside from being foster brothers, Hill and Brewton also have music in common. Hill is currently working on an album as a recording artist.
"Music has been my therapy when I didn't have a person around," Hill said.
Hill has a vision to play music for people with similar stories.
"I want to be a voice for the underdog — for people who have to fight every day, just a little bit harder," he said.
Brewton says music got him through rough times. He's been producing music since 16 and has been a DJ four years.
"I would stay in my room and write stories and draw and just get lost," he said. "I still do it today but … now I believe it more and more.
Hill said his lyrics consist of his experiences in creative form.
"That's what I'm best at doing," Hill said. "I'm able to paint pictures with words. It's not about what happens to you it's about how you choose to respond to it."

Real Love divinely conquers all things,
which are contrary to His, Holy Spirit.
Nothing is too difficult for The Lord;
He is unrestrained, having no limits!
His desires are righteous; His existence
fuels all of creation to meet His bidding;
though His patience exceeds our perception,
we need to remember that He's not kidding
about His wanting an everlasting family,
that's fine-tuned with His sacred tenets.

Recently, YouTube launched a #DearMe campaign in honor of International Women's Day to encourage women to reflect on what advice they would give their younger selves. While the initiative is aimed at inspiring teenage girls, it made me realize how much of the advice actually transcends age and still applies to women in the workforce today.
When you volunteer your time with Central Iowa leaders as regularity as I do, it's only natural to gain some insight about the correlation between community involvement and enhanced leadership skills.

Combat job opening to female sailors
Women step into legacy of Vietnam-era river patrol boats
"It'll make you actually see for sure if you really want to do this," sailor Audrey Warren said.
Now they will be eligible for combat jobs, though it's not a given they will be chosen. Their commanders will have to select them for those positions.
Cmdr. Joe Fauth leads Coastal Riverine Squadron 3 in Coronado. In March, his squadron will add what will be the only West Coast riverine company that performs the combat mission.
It is relocating to Imperial Beach from Yorktown, Va., as part of a realignment of the sea service's riverine forces.
"We would evaluate a female sailor just like we would evaluate a male sailor who wants to be part of the riverine security team," Fauth said in a recent interview.
"They would have to be very solid in their physical fitness. You wouldn't take someone who is barely meeting standards. … And you determine that after some time observing."
Megan Searcy is one San Diego sailor who wants to try it.
She's a 24-year-old master at arms, the Navy's cops, who has already served two years in the coastal forces. Her work there to date has been providing security for Navy supply ships going in and out of Bahrain.
"Being a female in the military, you always have guys who say you can't do this or that. It's about showing people that you can do it," said Searcy, a petite 5-foot-4 woman who has learned tactics as a Navy master at arms to take down someone larger than herself.
"I'm physically able to do it, and I want to do it," she said. "It might be a bit more strenuous or a little bit difficult, but as we've shown just being in the military, we can overcome anything."
She has started hitting the gym twice a day. Lifting weights is her new focus.
"Most women are all about cardio and being slim, but you can't just be slim," she said. "You have to have the muscle to carry your own weight."
Searcy is deploying with her unit in December. Returning in June, she'll get her first crack at the combat job.
Other female riverine sailors in San Diego can begin being considered for the new role in March.
"It's only a matter of time before we have female RST (riverine security team) members," Fauth said.
Tom Cutler, who commanded riverine patrol boats in Vietnam, said there's no doubt that it's a combat job. Some canals his crew navigated were so narrow, there was no way to turn around.
"If you go into this, you have to expect it will be combat, and it will be up close and personal," said Cutler, who wrote the 1988 book "Brown Water, Black Berets: Coastal and Riverine Warfare in Vietnam."
A challenge for riverine crews might be bathroom privacy on basic patrol boats with no facilities. For past generations, the "head," or toilet, was over the side of the boat.
"But I know men and women have adapted in other situations," Cutler added.

Preseason Series
The Preseason Junior at Cimarron Hills is one of 13 events held as part of the Preseason Series. The Preseason Series is designed specifically for AJGA members who have had limited acceptances into multi-day AJGA events. This series offers these members the opportunity to start building Performance Based Entry status before application deadlines arrive for summer Open and Junior All-Star series events.
About the AJGA
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA provides valuable exposure for college golf scholarships, and has an annual junior membership (boys and girls, ages 12-18) of more than 6,300 members from 48 states and more than 50 foreign countries. Through initiatives like the Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant, a financial assistance program, and Leadership Links, a service-oriented platform that teaches juniors charitable-giving skills, the AJGA fosters the growth of golf's next generation.
Titleist, the AJGA's National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's success since 1989. Rolex, which is in its fourth decade of AJGA support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. In 2007, after 12 years of support, Ralph Lauren became the AJGA's second Premier Partner.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. Former AJGA juniors have compiled more than 600 victories on the PGA and LPGA Tours. AJGA alumni include Jordan Spieth, Brandt Snedeker, Bubba Watson, Webb Simpson, Hunter Mahan, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Stacy Lewis, Vicky Hurst, Inbee Park, Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr, Brittany Lincicome and Morgan Pressel.

|Jim & Jesse might be bluegrass's most famous act next to Bill Monroe, and they certainly have the catalog to back up the claim. While THE JIM & JESSE STORY is a fantastic collection, the set does not include the duo's original performances--all of the songs are re-recordings of their most famous hits from sessions in the early '90s with former members of the Virginia Boys. Despite this, Jim & Jesse have never made a sub par recording and these performances have the duo's heavenly harmonies and stellar picking aplenty. This 2007 reissue features four previously unreleased tracks from the original sessions--"Where Do We Go From Here?," "Are You Tired of Me Darling?," "Rider in the Rain," and "Those Brown Eyes." THE JIM & JESSE STORY is not the best collection of the duo's most classic performances--for that, try JIM & JESSE: 1952-1955--but these readings pop and are a worthy introduction.

GTX460, Ubuntu 11.04 Kernel 2.6.38-10 (64-bit), Sandybridge chipset. Random crashes (completely random as far as I can tell) were occurring on average every 3-6 hours, this was a hard crash requiring a hard reset, and when playing audio, this resulted in looping, sometimes distorted.
A couple of days ago I removed the nvidia drivers, and reverted to the nouveau drivers. Since, I have had no problems for about 48 hours runtime!
I have just upgraded my kernel to 3.0.0, and intend on testing this out, however there is currently a problem with nvidia binaries on 3.0.0. Apparently the latest nvidia drivers from xorg-edgers solves this. Will report back with results.
I have a similar setup (Sandybridge, GTX 460 M, core I-7) running stock Ubuntu 11.04. and the Nvidia driver version (280.13). Causes kernel crash - after running about 4/5 minutes. nvidia-bug-report attached.

Customer Reviews
Average Customer Review (156 customer reviews)
WOW! done!, By Auntie Kat
January 20, 2011
Just as 'Cook's Illustrated' reported, this is the best peeler you can get. I use a back and forth action without lifting the peeler. You can fly with this thing! You can't even see my hands move! OK, big lie, but that's what it feels like. I got this one for my mom because I loved mine so much. Actually, she saw me peeling something and was impressed with my lightening-like action. Knowing she is way too cheap, I mean...frugal, to buy something of this quality, no matter how easy it makes her life, I got her one. She loves it so much she peels all my stuff for me now, too! OK, another lie. But this peeler is so fantastic, it makes you WANT to peel stuff! Don't hesitate, you won't be sorry! No lie!
The finest peeler I've ever used., By T. G. Mc Manus
February 10, 2012
I am an 84 year old man and now have to do my own cooking. I saw this peeler on a TV cook show and decided to buy. It is amazing how quickly and thin it peels tomatoes, potatoes, asparagus, celery, etc. I have since given four of these as gifts and they were all recieved with raves. It deserves a strong five star rating.
This peeler is amazing, By Mrs. J
June 27, 2010
Wow - I just used this peeler for the first time today, and I was SHOCKED at how easy it was to peel things. I was doing carrots and parsnips for vegetable soup, and the peeler just flew threw them. I wish that everyone could have one of these. For the price, I don't see why not :) I also peeled an acorn squash which would have been torturous with my old standard peeler. It is actually fun to peel things using this tool. Get one!

Freak Celebrity Sighting
Who was standing there Saturday night—just he and his wife—in the lobby of the Marriott Waterside hotel in Tampa, Fla., but Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the US Airways pilot who ditched his plane safely and miraculously in the Hudson River with both engines gone. The man who saved 155 lives was about 6-foot-2, 175 pounds with a deep radio voice and a personality that couldn't be hurried with a team of Clydesdales. He was at the Super Bowl as a guest of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but hadn't met him yet, even though Goodell was standing 15 feet away. I had to ask him, What was that like when you realized both engines were out? He thought about it for awhile and then said, slowly and deliberately, "Shocking. It was very quiet as we worked, my co-pilot and I. We were a team. But to have zero thrust coming out of those engines was shocking—the silence." How were you feeling inside? I asked. "Calm on the outside, turmoil inside." He kept calling the whole thing "surreal." His wife, Lori, said she and Sully have been opening letters every night that are so emotional "it allows both of us to express emotion about it all. We both sit there and cry." I wanted to ask him one more question but he got swept away. It was going to be: Do you mind e-mailing me the list of all your flights coming up in 2009? I'd like to be on them.

Just got home from seeing Avatar. We saw it in 3d. We thought it was awesome. I think you would have to be a Marine like us to understand some of the jokes the main character would say. You should have heard us in the theater.
Good times.
Just got home from seeing Avatar. We saw it in 3d. We thought it was awesome. I think you would have to be a Marine like us to understand some of the jokes the main character would say. You should have heard us in the theater.
Good times.
Not anxious to die Sir, just anxious to matter.
Just watched "A Knight's Tale" again. First saw it in the theater with my jousting group, which was a group of professional jousters. (Yup, this is really like modern-day jousting). One of our guy's was the Jousting Master on the shoot.
Takes me back to being in the list.
Monsters Inc (Blu Ray)
Love the movie, looks AMAZING in Blu Ray.
Watching Up on DVD right now. My favorite Pixar movie. So wonderful!
It's a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah...Tip for Today!
I just re watched Stand By Me.
Real great flick and it still holds up. It's funny on how much talent is in that movie.
"Here you leave Today and enter the world of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Bankruptcy!"
Maybe for once, someone will call me "Sir" without saying, "You're making a scene!"
Arizona Cardinals 2008 NFC Champions
i saw avatar and the graphics and everything was beautiful but the movie just bored me out. I think its the words or dialouge or something.
Watched A Christmas Story a few yesterday on TBS, going to see Avatar tomorrow.
The Dreamer of Oz - A made-for-TV movie about L. Frank Baum and his wife that's on the bonus disc for The Wizard of Oz Blu-ray I have. Never heard of it before, and it stars John Ritter and Annette O'Toole. It has some cheezy and contrived moments, but overall it was an entertaining love story that blended the creative of Baum's classic book. But the little girl who inspires the character of Dorothy for Baum is a scene-stealer in all her scenes. She's nothing like Judy Garland, just very cute, happy, and charming.
The Day the Earth Stood Still - I got the remake on Blu-ray for Christmas. When I first watched it in theatres, I thought it was an alright movie. I've since seen the original 1951 film and that blew me away. Seeing this again and now able to compare the two, it's easy to see that the empathy engendered by the 1951 Klatuu totally works to that film's advantage.
Men in Black - Another Blu-ray I got from my family for Christmas, and I'm really surprise (tho' I dunno why) how great this looks on Blu-ray.
Terminator Salvation (Blu Ray)
As a stand-alone movie it probably wouldn't be that great, but it does a REALLY good job of continuing the Terminator saga and reveals a LOT of things that you see from all the way back in the first movie. Such as ... How John Connor get's the scars on his face and how he and Kyle Reese meet.
Lots of really good action and a decent story as well.
Although the:
SpoilerFake looking "Ahnold" Terminator left a bit to be desired. Thought they could have done a better job with that.
If it's true that the next Terminator Movie will indeed be the last, I'd LOVE to see James Cameron involved somehow.
I saw it's complicated. It was pretty good.
We just saw Sherlock Holmes. It was really enjoyable!
It's a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah...Tip for Today!
Sherlock Holmes was great!!!
Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things...
Sherlock Holmes- I thought it was good but not great. Robert Downey Jr. plays his character very well and is very charismatic on screen. ~swoon~ Downey and Law also have good chemistry together.
The Hangover-I fell asleep the first half hour into the movie. I really wanted to like this movie too but it just didn't do anything for me.
Hangover.. I enjoyed the premise, I thought there were some funny moments, but overall, I don't see what the hype was about. It didn't make me laugh out loud hardly at all. Mike Tyson was the best part, but it wasn't all that.

Good to relax
"The site is very clean and well clean employes are very pleasant smilling ...theres 2 things that was unplaisant the reception ( phone ) did not speak English or French so we couldn't understand anything i would assumed when you work wits tourist you need to speak at least English specially if your client services and the enternment in the evening was missing at the lobby there was only piano and not for a long time . but the site is beautiful clean and employes on the site are very friendly"Rating: 9,0

thank you for the wonderful time we had, we will definatly recommend this hotel to our friends and family!!
"thank you for making my vacation the best one I ever had. This hotel impressed me by the cleaness and friendly atmosphere. You sure know how to make people feel like queen. The animation team are amazing. I was traveling alone with my mom, I was going to the discotheque by myself and I had alot of fun with the animation team. I participated to all the activities offered in the beach or around the pool and I loved it. A special thanks to Wendy, Nicolas, Gabriel from the animation team, they are all amazing!!"Rating: 10,0

Très belle expérience.Iberostar est digne de sa réputation.
"Mes compagnons et moi sommes très satisfait de notre passage à votre resort de La Romana.Tout votre personnel est aimable et empressé.La nourriture était aussi de très bonne qualité.Deux petites remarques,les gens du canada ou du québec sont souvent omis par les maitres de cérémonie et l'ajout d'un moyen de transport à travers le site pour les personnes plus agées serait un plus pour l'hotel.Cela dit, nous recommanderons votre hotel et nous y retournerons probablement l'an prochain.Ajouter le français sur vos programmes serait aussi apprécié. Salutations. Louise Leblanc"Rating: 8,0
